6. Consideration of an Ordinance Amending the City of Lake Forest City Code
Regarding the Class C-1 and C-3 Liquor Licenses (First reading and if appropriate
final approval)
STAFF CONTACT: Margaret Boyer, City Clerk, 847-810-3674
PURPOSE AND ACTION REQUESTED: At the direction of the City’s Liquor Commissioner, Staff is
requesting consideration of an Ordinance amending the City’s Liquor Code to increase the
number of liquor licenses in the C-1 and C-3 license categories.
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION: The Liquor Commissioner has received a request from the
current owners of the Peanut Gallery to operate a new restaurant in the same space called
“The Lucky Duck” at 950 N. Western Avenue. The City Council authorized a Special Use Permit
for the same location at its July 19 meeting. The owners have requested a C-1 liquor license
(general restaurant liquor license) and an add-on C-3 liquor license that will allow outdoor
service.
As the Council is aware, the issuance of liquor licenses is under the purview of the City’s Liquor
Commissioner and the Mayor serves in that role. However, the City Code only authorizes a
specific number of liquor licenses and, historically, this number coincides with the current
number of licenses issued.
When new requests for liquor licenses are submitted, and after review by the Liquor
Commissioner and a determination that the Issuance of a license is appropriate, the City
Council is asked to consider an amendment to the Liquor Code to increase the number of
available licenses. In this case, the number of C-1 and C-3 liquor licenses will be increased by
one each to accommodate The Lucky Duck. The proposed ordinance increasing the number
of Class C-1 and C-3 liquor licenses can be found beginning on page 59.
BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT: The fiscal impact of adding additional licenses in the C-1 and C-3
categories would have a positive impact on liquor license revenues.
COUNCIL ACTION: Consideration of an Ordinance Amending the City of Lake Forest City Code
to increase the number of Licenses available in the Class C-1 and C-3 liquor license categories
(First reading and if appropriate final approval).

Monday, August 2, 2021 City Council Agenda
PURPOSE AND ACTION REQUESTED: Parks & Recreation Board requests City Council
authorization to award the bid for the Veterans Park Improvement Project to Mag
Construction.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: Veterans Park is a 1.3 acre park located at the intersection of
Deerpath and Green Bay Road. The City of Lake Forest acquired Veterans Park through a
land transfer agreement with Lake Forest Open Lands Association in January of 2016. Soon
after, the City began the process of developing a plan for the new Park, which included
community input forums. The City then hired Craig Bergmann Design Group to analyze the
data collected and design a conceptual plan for the new park.
The goal of the project is to develop a passive, open space which serves as a gateway park
and leads residents and visitors into the Central Business District. It is also a goal to develop a
park that will provide opportunities to achieve a balance between the recreational use and
the protection and interpretation of the cultural, natural and scenic resources of the park.
Some of the key new elements of the park include:
• New entrance to the park - The intersection corner will be opened up with new entry way
to the park. The entrance will feature the name of the park facing the intersection and a
new flower bed.
• Natural performance platform - An elevated natural grass area for bands to perform or for
a movie screen to be placed for events. It will be located in the middle of the park off of
walkway.
• Additional trees and shrubs will be planted throughout the property to replace some that
have been removed. There will be a focus on planting native species.
• Veterans feature - City staff is working with the American Legion McKinlock Post 264 for the
design and installation of a monument in the center of the park that will honor veterans.
The cost of the design and monument is not included in this request and will be funded
through donations raised by the American Legion.

8. Award of Bid for a Two-Year HVAC Preventive Maintenance Contract to Hayes
Mechanical in the Amount of $106,906
STAFF CONTACT: Jim Lockefeer, Assistant to the Director of Public Works (810-3542)
PURPOSE AND ACTION REQUESTED: The Public Works Committee and City staff requests City
Council award of bid for a two-year HVAC Preventive Maintenance Contract to Hayes
Mechanical in the amount of $106,906.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: The City’s HVAC preventative maintenance program keeps
approximately 400 pieces of HVAC equipment in 24 facilities operating efficiently by
extending the equipment’s life, ensuring its reliability, and reducing operating costs. The
pieces of equipment serviced consist of furnaces, boilers, chillers, pumps, air handlers,
condensers, cooling towers and exhaust fans. The program is comprised of four quarterly
maintenances: two comprehensive maintenance services for spring and fall startups and two
maintenances to check systems and change filters.
For many years the entire program was contracted out. In 2012, as a cost saving measure,
the Building Maintenance Section implemented a hybrid HVAC preventive maintenance
program where in-house staff is used to maintain smaller, residential type heating systems,
while City facilities with commercial heating and cooling systems are contracted to firms that
have personnel with technical resources and expertise to maintain complex systems. The
service contract covers the fall heating start-up maintenance and the spring cooling start-up.
The mid-summer and late-winter quarterly maintenance on all 24 facilities will be performed

“no heating” or “no cooling” calls.

prices among neighboring municipalities who bid similar projects each year. The City of Lake
Forest was the lead municipality for this bid process and the Village of Glenview was a
participating community. On June 24, 2021 the public bid process closed and in total, three
bids were received as outlined below.

First Point Mechanical $59,606 $60,798 $120,404
McDonough Mechanical $90,416 $92,224 $182,640
Hayes Mechanical has considerable experience working with commercial and industrial HVAC
systems. The company has been in business since 1918 and began providing HVAC services in the late
1970s. Staff contacted Hayes Mechanical’s HVAC service references which included the Village of
Schaumburg and the Village of Morton Grove. Both Schaumburg and Morton Grove shared very
positive experiences in working with Hayes Mechanical and explained that they provided a high level
of service provided. On June 29, 2021 staff met with Hayes Mechanical representatives to review their
bid materials in detail. Overall, staff was very comfortable with their submitted bid.
The contract terms are for two years which will include the option of two additional, one year terms,
subject to contractor acceptable performance reviewed at the end of each year. Each additional
contract year cannot exceed a two percent increase per year. In addition, a written request must be

10. Consideration of an Ordinance Amending the Intergovernmental Agreement with
the Solid Waste Agency of Lake County
STAFF CONTACT: Michael Thomas, Director of Public Works (810-3540)
PURPOSE AND ACTION REQUESTED: The Solid Waste Agency of Lake County is asking each of
its member communities to adopt an ordinance modifying its original language to allow
immediate past Mayors or an Executive Staff member to attend and represent the
municipality on its Board. Currently a sitting Aldermen or the Mayor is allowed to represent
the City at SWALCO’s quarterly Board meetings.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: In 1989, Lake County became the first county in Illinois to adopt
a solid waste management plan in compliance with the Illinois Solid Waste Planning and
Recycling Act. The Solid Waste Agency of Lake County (SWALCO) was formed in 1991 to
implement the Lake County Solid Waste Management Plan, and currently is comprised of
members from forty-four local government units, including Lake County and Great Lakes NTC,
representing approximately 85% of the county's population.
The purpose of the Solid Waste Agency of Lake County, Illinois is to implement a regional
approach to solid waste management which addresses economic, political, and
environmental issues. Utilizing in-house crews to provide refuse, recycling, yard waste, and
Compost Center services, Lake Forest has not participated with a majority of services
SWALCO offers. Staff bids and negotiates long-term disposal contracts with the regional
refuse, recycling, and yard waste companies. For a number of years now, Lake Forest’s only
participation with SWALCO has been the textile, shoe, electronics, and household chemical
collections.
At its April 15, 2021 SWALCO Board meeting, the Board approved sending the attached
amendment to its forty-four SWALCO communities for adoption. In order to amend the
10
Monday, August 2, 2021 City Council Agenda
Intergovernmental Agreement, each member of the Agency must approve the attached

11. Approve Three Year Contract with Wachs Water Services for Valve Exercising
Service Contract included in the FY2022 –FY2024 Operating Capital Budget for the
sum of $52,245
STAFF CONTACT: Dan Martin, Superintendent of Public Works (810-3561)
PURPOSE AND ACTION REQUESTED: The Public Works Committee and Staff requests City
Council approval of a three year agreement for Valve Exercising Contract to Wachs Water
Services.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: The City’s Water & Sewer Section for many years has provided
valve exercising service for approximately 1,800 valves in the water distribution system. The
Section transitioned from performing the program using in-house staff to contracting out the
services to take advantage of efficiencies gained using contractors that specialize in valve
exercising services. The valve exercising program is a preventative maintenance measure
that prevents valve rust or debris build up that could render the valves inoperable or prevent
tight shutoffs; this ensures reliability to immediately isolate water lines for main breaks and
extends valves useful life. The 1,800 valves are divided into five service zones with
approximately 375 valves in each zone. One zone per year will be operated. The Contractor
will fully exercise each valve according to American Water Works Association (A.W.W.A.)
standards and will verify and update the valve size, rotation and location in the GIS-
database.
The table below shows the contract cost for each year.
Item Description Cost per Year

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: The City of Lake Forest water distribution system consists of
approximately 6,800 private residential service connections, 170 miles of water main ranging
in pipe sizes from 4” to 36”, 1,500 fire hydrants and 1,800 valves throughout the system. Water

lost through leaking pipe fittings, faulty valves, connectors, or cracked pipes are regarded as
unaccounted water that is a revenue loss. Many leaks come to the surface and are
immediately repaired, but some go undetected because they are smaller leaks that do not
surface or drain directly into storm sewers, ravines or ditches. These types of leaks result in
significant water loss over time. To address this The City over the last fifteen years has hired
leak detection services to pinpoint these undetected leaks through an acoustic leak
detection method. Technicians utilizing specialized listening devices that are placed on
valves and hydrants work systematically to cover the entire distribution system listening and
identifying leaks. The service includes a full report of the leak locations. Leaks that are
discovered are immediately repaired and if the leak is on a resident’s service line, they will be
notified by the Water & Sewer Supervisor to have their service leak repaired.

records of DTC, Cede or any DTC Participant with respect to any ownership interest in the Bonds,
(ii) the delivery to any DTC Participant or any other person, other than a registered owner of a
Bond as shown in the Bond Register, of any notice with respect to the Bonds, including any notice
of redemption, or (iii) the payment to any DTC Participant or any other person, other than a
registered owner of a Bond as shown in the Bond Register, of any amount with respect to the
principal of or interest on the Bonds. The City and the Bond Registrar may treat and consider the
person in whose name each Bond is registered in the Bond Register as the holder and absolute
owner of such Bond for the purpose of payment of principal and interest with respect to such Bond,
for the purpose of giving notices of redemption and other matters with respect to such Bond, for
the purpose of registering transfers with respect to such Bond, and for all other purposes
whatsoever. The Bond Registrar shall pay all principal of and interest on the Bonds only to or
upon the order of the respective registered owners of the Bonds, as shown in the Bond Register,
or their respective attorneys duly authorized in writing, and all such payments shall be valid and
effective to fully satisfy and discharge the City’s obligations with respect to payment o f the
principal of and interest on the Bonds to the extent of the sum or sums so paid. No person other
than a registered owner of a Bond as shown in the Bond Register, shall receive a Bond evidencing
the obligation of the City to make payments of principal and interest with respect to any Bond.

Upon delivery by DTC to the Bond Registrar of written notice to the effect that DTC has
determined to substitute a new nominee in place of Cede, and subject to the provisions in Section 3
hereof with respect to the payment of interest to the registered owners of Bonds at the close of
business on the 1st day of the month of the applicable interest payment date, the name “Cede” in
this Ordinance shall refer to such new nominee of DTC.
In the event that (i) the City determines that DTC is incapable of discharging its
responsibilities described herein and in the Representation Letter, (ii) the agreement among the
City, the Bond Registrar and DTC evidenced by the Representation Letter shall be terminated for
any reason or (iii) the City determines that it is in the best interests of the beneficial owners of the
Bonds that they be able to obtain certificated Bonds, the City shall notify DTC and DTC
Participants of the availability through DTC of certificated Bonds and the Bonds shall no longer
be restricted to being registered in the Bond Register in the name of Cede, as nominee of DTC. At
that time, the City may determine that the Bonds shall be registered in the name of and deposited
with such other depository operating a universal book-entry system, as may be acceptable to the
City, or such depository’s agent or designee, and if the City does not select such alternate universal
book-entry system, then the Bonds may be registered in whatever name or names registered owners
of Bonds transferring or exchanging Bonds shall designate, in accordance with the provisions of
Section 5(a) hereof.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Ordinance to the contrary, so long as any
Bond is registered in the name of Cede, as nominee of DTC, all payments with respect to principal
of and interest on such Bond and all notices with respect to such Bond shall be made and given,
respectively, in the name provided in the Representation Letter.
Section 6. Redemption. (a) Optional Redemption. All or a portion of the Bonds due on
and after the date, if any, specified in the Bond Notification shall be subject to redemption prior to
DRAFT - 8/2/21 City Council33
-9-
maturity at the option of the City from any available funds, as a whole or in part, and if in part in
integral multiples of $5,000 in any order of their maturity as determined by the City (less than all
of the Bonds of a single maturity to be selected by the Bond Registrar), on the date specified in the
Bond Notification (but in no event on a date later than ten and one-half years after the issuance of
the Bonds) and on any date thereafter, at the redemption price of par plus accrued interest to the
date fixed for redemption.
(b) Mandatory Redemption. The Bonds maturing on the date or dates, if any, indicated
in the Bond Notification are subject to mandatory redemption, in integral multiples of $5,000
selected by lot by the Bond Registrar, at a redemption price of par plus accrued interest to the
redemption date on the redemption date, on December 15 of the years, if any, and in the principal
amounts, if any, as indicated in the Bond Notification.
The principal amounts of Bonds to be mandatorily redeemed in each year may be reduced
through the earlier optional redemption thereof, with any partial optional redemptions of such
Bonds credited against future mandatory redemption requirements in such order of the mandatory
redemption dates as the City may determine. In addition, on or prior to the 60th day preceding
any mandatory redemption date, the Bond Registrar may, and if directed by the City Council shall,
purchase Bonds required to be retired on such mandatory redemption date. Any such Bonds so
purchased shall be cancelled and the principal amount thereof shall be credited against the
mandatory redemption required on such next mandatory redemption date.
(c) General. The Bonds shall be redeemed only in the principal amount of $5,000 and
integral multiples thereof. The City shall, at least forty-five (45) days prior to any optional
redemption date (unless a shorter time period shall be satisfactory to the Bond Registrar) notify
the Bond Registrar of such redemption date and of the principal amount and maturity or maturities
of Bonds to be redeemed. For purposes of any redemption of less than all of the outstanding Bonds
DRAFT - 8/2/21 City Council34
-10-
of a single maturity, the particular Bonds or portions of Bonds to be redeemed shall be selected by
lot by the Bond Registrar from the Bonds of such maturity by such method of lottery as the Bond
Registrar shall deem fair and appropriate; provided that such lottery shall provide for the selection
for redemption of Bonds or portions thereof so that any $5,000 Bond or $5,000 portion of a Bond
shall be as likely to be called for redemption as any other such $5,000 Bond or $5,000 portion.
The Bond Registrar shall make such selection upon the earlier of the irrevocable deposit of funds
with an escrow agent sufficient to pay the redemption price of the Bonds to be redeemed or the
time of the giving of official notice of redemption.
The Bond Registrar shall promptly notify the City in writing of the Bonds or portions of Bonds
selected for redemption and, in the case of any Bond selected for partial redemption, the principal
amount thereof to be redeemed.
Section 7. Redemption Procedure. Unless waived by any holder of Bonds to be
redeemed, notice of the call for any such redemption shall be given by the Bond Registrar on behalf
of the City by mailing the redemption notice by first class mail at least thirty (30) days and not
more than sixty (60) days prior to the date fixed for redemption to the registered owner of the Bond
or Bonds to be redeemed at the address shown on the Bond Register or at such other address as is
furnished in writing by such registered owner to the Bond Registrar.
All notices of redemption shall state:
(1) the redemption date,
(2) the redemption price,
(3) if less than all outstanding Bonds are to be redeemed, the identification (and,
in the case of partial redemption, the respective principal amounts) of the Bonds to b e
redeemed,
(4) that on the redemption date the redemption price will become due and payable
upon each such Bond or portion thereof called for redemption, and that interest thereon
shall cease to accrue from and after said date,
DRAFT - 8/2/21 City Council35
-11-
(5) the place where such Bonds are to be surrendered for payment of the
redemption price, which place of payment shall be the principal corporate trust office of
the Bond Registrar, and
(6) such other information then required by custom, practice or industry standard.
Unless moneys sufficient to pay the redemption price of the Bonds to be redeemed at the
option of the City shall have been received by the Bond Registrar prior to the giving of such notice
of redemption, such notice may, at the option of the City, state that said red emption shall be
conditional upon the receipt of such moneys by the Bond Registrar on or prior to the date fixed for
redemption. If such moneys are not received, such notice shall be of no force and effect, the City
shall not redeem such Bonds, and the Bond Registrar shall give notice, in the same manner in
which the notice of redemption shall have been given, that such moneys were not so received and
that such Bonds will not be redeemed. Otherwise, prior to any redemption date, the City shall
deposit with the Bond Registrar an amount of money sufficient to pay the redemption price of all
the Bonds or portions of Bonds which are to be redeemed on that date.
Subject to the provisions for a conditional redemption described above, notice of
redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Bonds or portions of Bonds so to be redeemed
shall, on the redemption date, become due and payable at the redemption price therein specified,
and from and after such date (unless the City shall default in the payment of the redemption price)
such Bonds or portions of Bonds shall cease to bear interest. Upon surrender of such Bonds for
redemption in accordance with said notice, such Bonds shall be paid by the Bond Registrar at the
redemption price. Installments of interest due on or prior to the redemption date shall be payable
as herein provided for payment of interest. Upon surrender for any partial redemption of any
Bond, there shall be prepared for the registered holder a new Bond or Bonds of the same maturity
in the amount of the unpaid principal.
If any Bond or portion of Bond called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender
thereof for redemption, the principal shall, until paid, bear interest from the redemption date at the
DRAFT - 8/2/21 City Council36
-12-
rate borne by the Bond or portion of Bond so called for redemption. All Bonds which have been
redeemed shall be cancelled and destroyed by the Bond Registrar and shall not be reissued.
Section 8. Form of Bond. The Bonds shall be in substantially the following form;
provided, however, that if the text of the Bond is to be printed in its entirety on the front side of
the Bond, then paragraph [2] and the legend, “See Reverse Side for Additional Provisions”, shall
be omitted and paragraph [6] and those thereafter as shall be appropriate shall be inserted

CITY OF LAKE FOREST, LAKE COUNTY, ILLINOIS
GENERAL OBLIGATION REFUNDING BOND, SERIES 2021

compliance with the applicable provisions of the Illinois Municipal Code, as amended; as further
supplemented and, where necessary, superseded, by the powers of the City as a home rule unit
under the provisions of Section 6 of Article VII of the Illinois Constitution of 1970 (collectively,
such Illinois Municipal Code and constitutional home rule powers, being the “Act”), and with the
Ordinance, which has been duly approved by the Mayor.
[7] Bonds of the issue of which this Bond is one maturing on and after
December 15, 20__, are subject to redemption prior to maturity at the option of the City as a whole,

attorney duly authorized in writing at the principal corporate trust office of the Bond Registrar in

Section 9. Sale of Bonds. The Mayor and Finance Director (the “Designated
Representatives”) are hereby authorized to proceed not later than the 2nd day of February, 2022,
without any further authorization or direction from the City Council, to sell the Bonds upon the
terms as prescribed in this Ordinance. The Bonds hereby authorized shall be executed as in this
Ordinance provided as soon after the delivery of the Bond Notification as may be, and thereupon
be deposited with the City Treasurer, and, after authentication thereof by the Bond Registrar, be
by the City Treasurer delivered to the purchaser thereof (the “Purchaser”), upon receipt of the
purchase price therefor, the same being not less than 96% of the principal amount of the Bonds
plus accrued interest (if any) to date of delivery. The Purchaser for the Bonds shall be: (a) pursuant
to a competitive sale conducted by Speer Financial, Inc., the City’s municipal advisor (“Speer”),
DRAFT - 8/2/21 City Council43
-19-
the best bidder for the Bonds; (b) in a negotiated underwriting, a bank or financial institution listed

institution authorized to do business in the State, (ii) a governmental unit as defined in the Local
Government Debt Reform Act of the State of Illinois, as amended, or (iii) an “accredited investor”
as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D as promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as

only upon receipt by the City of the written recommendation of Speer that the sale of the Bonds
on a negotiated or private placement basis to the Purchaser is in the best interest of the City because
of (i) the pricing of the Bonds by the Purchaser, (ii) then current market conditions or (iii) the
timing of the sale of the Bonds; and further provided, that the Purchaser as set forth in (c) may be
selected through the utilization of a placement agent selected by the Designated Represent atives
after consultation with Speer if the use of such placement agent is determined by the Designated
Representatives to be in the best interest of the City.
Upon the sale of the Bonds, the Designated Representatives shall prepare a Notification of
Sale of the Bonds, which shall include the pertinent details of sale as provided herein (the “Bond
Notification”). In the Bond Notification, the Designated Representatives shall find and determine
that the Bonds have been sold at such price and bear interest at such rates that either the true interest
cost (yield) or the net interest rate received upon the sale of the Bonds does not exceed the
maximum rate otherwise authorized by applicable law and that the net present value debt service
savings to the City as a result of the issuance of the Bonds and the refunding of the Refunded
Bonds is not less than 5.00% of the principal amount of the Refunded Bonds. The Bond
Notification shall be entered into the records of the City and made available to the City Council at
the next regular meeting thereof; but such action shall be for information purposes only, and the
DRAFT - 8/2/21 City Council44

City Council shall have no right or authority at such time to approve or reject such sale as
evidenced in the Bond Notification.

Notification by the Designated Representatives, the Mayor, City Clerk and City Treasurer and any
other officers of the City, as shall be appropriate, shall be and are hereby authorized and directed
to approve or execute, or both, such documents of sale of the Bonds as may be necessary,
including, without limitation, the contract for the sale of the Bonds between the City and the
Purchaser (the “Purchase Contract”). Prior to the execution and delivery of the Purchase
Contract, the Designated Representatives shall find and determine that no person holding any
office of the City, either by election or appointment, is in any manner financially interested directly
in his or her own name or indirectly in the name of any other person, association, trust or
corporation, in the Purchase Contract.
The use by the Purchaser of any Preliminary Official Statement and any final Official
Statement relating to the Bonds (the “Official Statement”) is hereby ratified, approved and
authorized; the execution and delivery of the Official Statement is hereby authorized; and the
officers of the City Council are hereby authorized to take any action as may be required on the part
of the City to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Contract, this Ordinance,
said Preliminary Official Statement, the Official Statement and the Bonds.
Section 10. Tax Levy; Abatement. For the purpose of providing funds required to pay the
interest on the Bonds promptly when and as the same falls due, and to pay and discharge the
principal thereof at maturity, there is hereby levied upon all of the taxable property within the City,
in the years for which any of the Bonds are outstanding, a direct annual tax sufficient for that
purpose; and there is hereby levied on all of the taxable property in the City, in addition to all other
taxes, the following direct annual tax (the “Pledged Taxes”), to-wit:

the foregoing tax levy to pay the same shall be paid from the general funds of the City, and the
fund from which such payment was made shall be reimbursed out of the taxes hereby levied when
the same shall be collected.
The City covenants and agrees with the purchasers and the holders of the Bonds that so
long as any of the Bonds remain outstanding, the City will take no action or fail to take any action
which in any way would adversely affect the ability of the City to levy and collect the foregoing
tax levy and the City and its officers will comply with all present and future applicable laws in
order to assure that the foregoing taxes will be levied, extended and collected as provided herein
and deposited in the fund established to pay the principal of and interest on the Bonds.
To the extent that the Pledged Taxes levied above exceed the amount necessary to pay debt
service on the Bonds as set forth in the Bond Notification, the Mayor, City Clerk and City
Treasurer are hereby authorized to direct the abatement of such taxes to the extent of the excess of
such levy in each year over the amount necessary to pay debt service on the Bonds in the following
bond year. Proper notice of such abatement shall be filed with the County Clerk of The County of
Lake, Illinois (the “County Clerk”), in a timely manner to effect such abatement.
DRAFT - 8/2/21 City Council46
-22-
In the event that funds from any other lawful source are made available for the purpose of
paying any principal of or interest on the Bonds so as to enable the abatement of the taxes levied
herein for the payment of same, the City Council shall, by proper proceedings, direct the transfer
of such funds to the hereinafter defined Bond Fund, and shall then further direct the abatement of
the taxes by the amount so deposited. The City covenants and agrees that it will not direct the
abatement of taxes until money has been deposited into the Bond Fund in the amount of such
abatement. A certified copy or other notification of any such proceedings abating taxes may then
be filed with the County Clerk in a timely manner to effect such abatement.
Section 11. Filing with County Clerk and Certificate of Reduction of Taxes. Forthwith
upon the passage of this Ordinance, the City Clerk of the City is hereby directed to file a certified
copy of this Ordinance with the County Clerk; and the County Clerk shall in and for each of the
years 2021 to 2031, inclusive, ascertain the rate necessary to produce the tax herein levied; and the
County Clerk shall extend the same for collection on the tax books in connection with other taxes
levied in said years in and by the City for general corporate purposes of the City; and, subject to
abatement as stated hereinabove, in said years such annual tax shall be levied and collected by and
for and on behalf of the City in like manner as taxes for general corporate purposes for said years
are levied and collected, and in addition to and in excess of all other taxes, and when collected, the
taxes hereby levied shall be placed to the credit of a special fund to be designated “Bond and
Interest Fund Account of 2021” (the “Bond Fund”), which taxes are hereby irrevocably pledged
to and shall be used only for the purpose of paying the principal of and interest on the Bonds.
The Mayor, City Clerk and City Treasurer be and the same are hereby directed to prepare
and file with the County Clerk, a Certificate of Reduction of Taxes Heretofore Levied for the
Payment of Bonds showing the Prior Bonds being refunded and directing the abatement of the
taxes heretofore levied to pay the Refunded Bonds.
DRAFT - 8/2/21 City Council47
-23-
Section 12. Use of Bond Proceeds; Use of Taxes Heretofore Levied. Accrued interest, if
any, received on the delivery of the Bonds is hereby appropriated for the purpose of paying first
interest due on the Bonds and is hereby ordered deposited into the Bond Fund. Simultaneously
with the delivery of the Bonds, the principal proceeds of the Bonds, together with any premium
received from the sale of the Bonds and such additional amounts as may be necessary from the
general funds of the City, are hereby appropriated to pay the costs of issuance of the Bonds and
for the purpose of refunding the Refunded Bonds, and that portion thereof not needed to pay such
costs is hereby ordered deposited in escrow pursuant to an escrow agreement to be entered into
between the City and Amalgamated Bank of Chicago, Chicago, Illinois, as escrow agent (the
“Escrow Agent”), in substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Escrow
Agreement”) and made a part hereof by this reference, or with such changes therein as shall be
approved by the officers of the City executing the Escrow Agreement, such execution to constitute
evidence of the approval of such changes for the purpose of paying the principal of and interest on
the Refunded Bonds when due and upon redemption prior to maturity, as more fully set forth in
the Escrow Agreement. The City Council approves the form, terms and provisions of the Escrow
Agreement and directs the Mayor and the City Clerk to execute, attest, seal and deliver the Escrow
Agreement in the name and on behalf of the City. Amounts in the escrow may be used to purchase
Government Securities (as defined in the Escrow Agreement) to provide for the principal payable
on the Refunded Bonds upon redemption thereof. The Escrow Agent and the Purchaser are each
hereby authorized to act as agent for the City in the purchase of the Government Securities.
At the time of issuance of the Bonds, the costs of issuance of the Bonds may be paid by the
Purchaser or the Bond Registrar on behalf of the City from the proceeds of the Bonds.
All proceeds received or to be received from any taxes heretofore levied to pay principal
and interest on the Refunded Bonds, including the proceeds received or to be received from the
DRAFT - 8/2/21 City Council48
-24-
taxes levied for the year 2020 for such purpose, shall be used to pay the principal of and interest
on the Refunded Bonds and to the extent that such proceeds are not needed for such purpose
because of the establishment of the escrow, the same shall be deposited into the Bond Fund and
used to pay principal and interest on the Bonds in accordance with all of the provisions of this
Ordinance.
Section 13. Non-Arbitrage and Tax-Exemption. The City hereby covenants that it will
not take any action, omit to take any action or permit the taking or omission of any action within
its control (including, without limitation, making or permitting any use of the proceeds of the
Bonds) if taking, permitting or omitting to take such action would cause any of the Bonds to be an
arbitrage bond or a private activity bond within the meaning of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
as amended (the “Code”), or would otherwise cause the interest on the Bonds to be included in
the gross income of the recipients thereof for federal income tax purposes. The City acknowledges
that, in the event of an examination by the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) of the exemption
from Federal income taxation for interest paid on the Bonds, under present rules, the City may be
treated as a “taxpayer” in such examination and agrees that it will respond in a commercially
reasonable manner to any inquiries from the IRS in connection with such an examination.
The City also agrees and covenants with the purchasers and holders of the Bonds from time
to time outstanding that, to the extent possible under Illinois law, it will comply with whatever
federal tax law is adopted in the future which applies to the Bonds and affects the tax-exempt status
of the Bonds.
The City Council hereby authorizes the officials of the City responsible for issuing the
Bonds, the same being the Mayor and City Clerk, to make such further covenants and certifications
regarding the specific use of the proceeds of the Bonds as approved by the City Council and as
may be necessary to assure that the use thereof will not cause the Bonds to be arbitrage bonds and
DRAFT - 8/2/21 City Council49
-25-
