4. Approval of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) American
Firefighter Grant (AFG) Award Package for new Cardiac Monitor/Defibrillators for our
Ambulances FY2014 (Revised)
STAFF CONTACT: JEFFREY HOWELL, FIRE CHIEF (810-3864)
PURPOSE AND ACTION REQUESTED: This item was previously approved by City Council at
its June 3, 2013 meeting, however, in order to comply with the City’s Purchasing Directive
3-5, staff is requesting City Council to approve the full expenditure amount of four (4)
Cardiac Monitor/Defibrillators, of which 90% will be reimbursed from the Department of
Homeland Security’s (DHS) American Firefighter Grant (AFG) award, via immediate wire
transfer. The City Council previously approved the City’s 10% matching funds at the June
3 Council meeting.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: In February 2013, the Fire Department received notification
of being awarded a grant from the DHS/AFG grant program for the purchase of four (4)
Cardiac Monitor/Defibrillators. This Grant was crucial in providing us with the opportunity
to upgrade our cardiac monitors to the latest technology. All required bidding
procedures were adhered to and the following bids were received.
Company Bid Amount
Zoll Medical – X Series $133,948.00
Physio Control – LIFEPAK 15v2 $133,147.40
Philips – MRx M3536A $95,037.74
CJPS Medical Systems – VitalPoint Pro $11,778.00
3
Zoll was the lowest responsive bidder with an overall favorable compliance with the bid
specifications. Zoll’s X Series is compatible with our current auto pulse equipment and our
crews have been using Zoll’s M Series for the past nine years. The X Series is compatible
with all Automatic Defibrillators currently in use throughout the City’s facilities, such as the
Recreation Center, Senior Center, Municipal Services, Golf Course, Beach, and Elawa
Farm. Further, the X Series is compatible with the AEDs contained in the City’s Police
Squad cars, Lake Bluff’s emergency response vehicles, and Northwestern Lake Forest
Hospital.
BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT: The Fire Department applied for this DHS AFG grant in 2012, but
just received notice of award for replacement of our Cardiac monitors. Below is an
estimated summary of Project budget:

RECOMMENDED ACTION: Award bid submitted by Zoll Medical totaling $133,948, of

Field Training Officer (FTO) Pay: Increased from $1,000 per year to $2,000 per year. This amount has not
changed since the first contract in 1999. There are six FTOs.
Officer in Charge (OIC) Pay: Increased from $1,000 per year to $1,500 per year. This amount has not
changed since the first contract in 1999. There are currently no OICs.
Specialty Unit Pay: This is a new section added for this contract and pertains to officers assigned as
Evidence Technicians. They will receive $500 per year. There are five ETs.
Clothing Stipend for Youth Officers and Investigators: This clothing stipend is being increased from $200 to
$250 for a six-month period. This is the first increase since the 1999 contract, and the amount is taxable for
IRS purposes.
Compensatory Time: In the previous contract, the amount of compensatory time officers were allowed to
accrue was increased to 48 hours, with it not being “refillable”, meaning once the 48 hours was reached in
a year, no more compensatory time could be accrued. In this contract, the amount of compensatory time
an officer is allowed to accrue is 24 hours, but it is “refillable.” The Chief and Deputy Chief feel this will
assist significantly with overtime costs.
Health Insurance: Same as all other employees.
While not specifically an economic item, the City received some very favorable language on dealing with an
under-performing police officer.
The PCA Committee received these economic items at their May 20 meeting.

ORDINANCES
20
1. Consideration of a Recommendation from the Plan Commission to Accept The City of
Lake Forest Bicycle Master Plan and to Approve a Related Amendment to The City of
Lake Forest Comprehensive Plan. (Approve a motion to waive first reading of an
Ordinance and if desired by the City Council, grant final approval.)
Planner Megan Neuman explained this project was initiated in response to comments heard at Ward
meetings and that this project evolved into an effort to pro-actively identify safe bike routes within the
community, work with neighboring communities and Lake County to explore connections to regional
bike trails and to better position the City to receive grant funding for transportation and community
development related projects in the future.
The Bicycle Master Plan reviews the planning process used to develop the plan, reviews existing
conditions and presents a proposed bicycle network of paths and roadways. The Master Plan also
identifies ways to improve safety and encourage more people to bike in Lake Forest. Guidelines for
signage, bicycle parking, and bicycle facilities are included in the Plan.
The Bicycle Master Plan is a tool intended to:
1. Establish community priorities and increase awareness relating to bicycling;
2. Better position the City to take advantage of grant opportunities;
3. Provide input and help to guide future decisions about implementing various types of projects;
and
4. Assure that planning for ongoing road improvement projects includes consideration of bicycle
safety and amenities.
Acceptance of the Bicycle Master Plan and incorporation of the Plan into the City’s Comprehensive Plan
does not commit the City to any expenditure of funds or initiate any specific projects. Instead, the
Master Plan will provide a framework for considering projects that may be included in the City’s Capital
Improvement Program in the future. In addition, the Master Plan puts the City in a strong position to
receive grant funding in the future and could provide opportunities for public/private partnerships and
partnerships with other municipalities, Lake County, the Forest Preserve and Lake Forest Open Lands as
opportunities for regional bicycle connections are explored.
RECOMMENDED ACTIONS:
1. Approve a motion to accept The City of Lake Forest Bicycle Master Plan.
2. Waive first reading and grant final approval of an Ordinance amending The City of Lake Forest
Comprehensive Plan as it relates to supporting bicycles in the community.
Alderman Moore made a motion to accept The City of Lake Forest Bicycle Master Plan, seconded by
Alderman Reisenberg. The following voted “Yea”: Aldermen Novit, Waldeck, Moore, Pandaleon, Tack,
Reisenberg, Palmer and Adelman. The following voted “Nay”: None. 8 Yeas, 0 Nay, Motion carried.
21
Alderman Moore made a motion to waive first reading and grant final approval of an Ordinance
amending The City of Lake Forest Comprehensive Plan as it relates to supporting bicycles in the
community with the amendment to the Ordinance relating to Home Rule and Statutory requirements to
the plan itself, seconded by Alderman Reisenberg. The following voted “Yea”: Aldermen Novit, Waldeck,
Moore, Pandaleon, Tack, Reisenberg, Palmer and Adelman. The following voted “Nay”: None. 8 Yeas, 0
Nay, Motion carried.
Mayor Schoenheider thanked Megan Neuman and everyone else who work on this Plan as it has great
framework and really allows the City to become a great “thought leader” and executioner of the Plan for
the future.
2. Consideration of an ordinance amending Section 2-65 of the City Code.
City Attorney, Victor Filippini, explained as a follow-up to the Council's recent approval of the City's
liquor control ordinance, the Council is being asked to consider an amendment to the City Code
incorporating training standards for Council members who wish to exercise the power to arrest. Under
the City Charter, the Mayor and Aldermen are "conservators of the peace" with powers of arrest, but
neither the Charter nor the City Code imposes any training standards. The Illinois Municipal Code was
amended several years ago to impose training standards on any municipal official with the power to
arrest, but such law did not apply specifically to Lake Forest because of its special charter status. The
proposed ordinance will align the City Code with State law. Additionally in the context of the liquor code
amendment, this change in the City Code will allow aldermen (but not the Mayor) to have an interest in
a liquor licensee, so long as such aldermen (a) do not have the power to arrest, and (b) do not vote or
participate in any meeting, hearing, or decision relating to liquor control. Nothing in this ordinance
would preclude an Alderman or the Mayor from exercising powers of arrest, but this ordinance would
require proper training before such powers are to be exercised.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: If the Council so desires, it would be appropriate to waive first reading and
approve the ordinance amending Section 2-65 of the City Code.
Alderman Palmer made a motion to waive first reading and approve the ordinance amending Section 2-
65 of the City Code, seconded by Alderman Novit. The following voted “Yea”: Aldermen Novit, Waldeck,
Moore, Pandaleon, Tack, Reisenberg, Palmer and Adelman. The following voted “Nay”: None. 8 Yeas, 0
Nay, Motion carried.
NEW BUSINESS
Alderman Moore asked City Attorney Victor Filippini updated Council on a lawsuit involving The City of
Lake Forest and Alderman Moore personally; Victor Filippini went on to say that the case had been
22
dismissed with prejudice under the well-established law that protects Aldermen while they are acting in
a legislative capacity. This immunity does not hold true outside of Council Chambers.
ADDITIONAL ITEMS FOR COUNCIL DISCUSSION
None
ADJOURNMENT
There being no further business. Alderman Palmer made a motion to adjourn, seconded by Alderman
Tack. Motion carried unanimously by voice vote at 8:07pm
Respectfully Submitted,
Margaret Boyer
Deputy City Clerk
