PUBLIC HEARING ON THE 2012 TAX LEVY ORDINANCE
1. Consideration of an Ordinance Establishing the Tax Levy for 2012
(Grant Final Approval)
PRESENTED BY: FINANCE COMMITTEE CHAIRMAN GEORGE PANDALEON
PURPOSE AND ACTION REQUESTED: Staff requests final approval of the 2012 tax levy
ordinance.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: The annual tax levy must be filed with the County
Clerk by December 21, 2012. Spreadsheets reviewing the tax levy for 2012 are
attached (page 13) for your consideration. These include: 1) the tax levy
1
December 3, 2012 Agenda
limitations under the tax cap; 2) the tax levy distributed by fund without new
growth and allowances distributed; 3) the tax levy by fund with new growth and
allowances distributed; and 4) an explanation of the tax increase to an average
homeowner.
The tax levy to be approved includes the needs of all City departments, as well as
for pensions and debt service requirements. A summary of the proposed levies is
as follows:
Proposed
FUND 2012 LEVY 2011 Extension $ CHANGE % CHANGE
City General 12,940,430$ 12,126,271$ 814,159$ 6.71%
Pension Funds 4,269,591 4,092,303 177,288 4.33%
Fire Pension PA 93-0689 38,586 50,212 (11,626) -23.15%
Recreation 1,292,967 1,255,308 37,659 3.00%
Parks 2,947,964 2,862,101 85,863 3.00%
Special Recreation 359,237 351,486 7,751 2.21%
Library 3,335,386 3,163,375 172,011 5.44%
Library sites 387,890 376,592 11,298 3.00%
Bond Funds 1,663,785 1,707,218 (43,433) -2.54%
TOTAL TAX LEVY - CITY 27,235,836$ 25,984,866$ 1,250,970$ 4.81%
School District 67- ESTIMATED 29,960,383$ 28,331,838 1,628,545$ 5.75%
GRAND TOTAL 57,196,219 54,316,704 2,879,515$ 5.30%
The proposed tax levy for 2012 reflects a 4.81% increase over the 2011 tax levy
extensions for the City and Library operating funds and City pension and debt
service funds. This increase is in full compliance with the property tax cap limit of a
3.0% increase plus new growth. Due to the expiration of the West Lake Forest TIF
District in 2012, the assessed valuation of the TIF district will return to the City and
School District tax rolls for the 2012 levy for the first time in the 23-year life of the TIF
as new growth, but not increasing the overall tax burden of the average Lake
Forest tax payer. Legislation allows for the exclusion of special recreation
($359,237) and a portion of the fire pension levy ($38,586) from the tax cap. Both
amounts are in the above chart and are further detailed in the attached
spreadsheets. The average increase to existing residents will be approximately
2.41% or $66.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Grant final approval of the Ordinance (page 17)
establishing the Tax Levy for 2012 for The City of Lake Forest.
2. Abating 2012 Tax Levies for Various G.O. Alternate Revenue Bond
Issues (Grant Final Approval)
PRESENTED BY ELIZABETH HOLLEB, FINANCE DIRECTOR
PURPOSE AND ACTION REQUESTED: Staff requests final approval of ordinances
abating 2012 Tax Levies.
2
December 3, 2012 Agenda
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: These ordinances provide for the abatement of 2012
taxes levied for the various outstanding general obligation ALTERNATE REVENUE
bond issues. The tax levies for all bond issues are established and recorded with
the County Clerk at the time the bonds are issued. Therefore, in order to reduce
the bond tax levies, an abatement ordinance must be approved and filed with
the County Clerk before December 21, 2012.
The abatement of these general obligation (ALTERNATE REVENUE) bonds is possible
due to the fact these bond funds have an adequate revenue source from water
sales, Cemetery revenue, golf fees, sales tax or payments from the U.S. Treasury.
Therefore, the general obligation tax levy can be abated as was planned at the
time the bonds were issued.
a) An Ordinance Abating a Portion of the Tax Being Levied in 2012
for the Annual Payment of the Principal and Interest on the 2010-B
Taxable General Obligation Bond Issue (Recovery Zone Economic
Development Bonds) ($77,625.00)
b) An Ordinance Abating a Portion of the Tax Being Levies in 2012
for the Annual Payment of the Principal and Interest on the 2010-
C Taxable General Obligation Bond Issue (Build America Bonds –
Direct Payment) ($90,759.00)
c) An Ordinance Abating the Total Tax Being Levied in 2012 for the
Annual Payment of the Principal and Interest on the 2011-A
General Obligation Refunding Bond Issue ($516,862.50)
d) An Ordinance Abating the Total Tax Being Levied in 2012 for the
Annual Payment of the Principal and Interest on the 2011-B
General Obligation Refunding Bond Issue ($2,462,700.00)
A summary of the proposed tax levy abatements are noted below:

3. Consideration of an Ordinance approving a Fee Schedule and
Ordinances adopting new fees related to Parks and Recreation and
Development Activity (Grant Final Approval)
3
December 3, 2012 Agenda
PRESENTED BY: ELIZABETH HOLLEB, FINANCE DIRECTOR
PURPOSE AND ACTION REQUESTED: Staff requests final approval of the ordinances.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: As part of the budget process, all departments are
asked to review their user fees. A comprehensive fee schedule is provided as
Exhibit A to the Ordinance approving a fee schedule, which clearly identifies the
proposed fee increases highlighted in yellow and the proposed new fees
highlighted in orange. Departments have provided supplemental memos
justifying their proposed fee adjustments and new fees, which are included in the
packet beginning on page 28. New fees require an Ordinance to be submitted
by the department proposing the new fee and accompany the Ordinance
approving the fee schedule. Therefore, three ordinances are submitted for City
Council consideration at this time:
• Ordinance approving a fee schedule (page36)
• Ordinance adopting new fees related to Parks and Recreation (page 57)
• Ordinance adopting new fees related to Development Activity (page 60)
BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT: Revenue for the new and increased fees is estimated to
be $44,042 in the Parks and Recreation Fund and $34,958 in the Deerpath Golf
Course Fund.
Revenue for the new and increased fees related to development activity is
estimated to be $3,490 in the General Fund.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Grant final approval to the ordinances approving a fee
schedule for The City of Lake Forest and adopting new fees related to Parks and
Recreation and Development Activity.
4. Consideration of Ordinances Providing for the Refinancing of Special
Service Area 25, 26 and 29 Bonds (Grant Final Approval)
PRESENTED BY FINANCE DIRECTOR ELIZABETH HOLLEB
PURPOSE AND ACTION REQUESTED: Request final approval of Ordinances to provide for
the refinancing of bonds for Special Service Areas 25, 26 and 29.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: The City currently has three special service areas financed
by special tax bonds through Lake Forest Bank and Trust. Following the City’s successful
bond refunding in 2011, the City approached Lake Forest Bank and Trust (LFBT) regarding
the possibility of refinancing the Special Service Area (SSA) bonds on behalf of the
impacted property owners. LFBT has offered an across the board reduction in interest of
1.50% for all three bond issues for the remaining term of all three bonds. When factoring
in the costs associated with the refinancing, all three generate a net savings. On
September 17, 2012, the City Council authorized staff to contract with bond counsel to
draft the required Ordinances to refinance the SSA 25, 26 and 29 special tax bonds.
These Ordinances are now presented for City Council consideration, beginning on page

5. Authorize a Payment to the Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund (IMRF)
in the Amount of $3,735,867 to Retire in Advance the Early Retirement
Incentive (ERI) Program Liability
PRESENTED BY ELIZABETH HOLLEB, DIRECTOR OF FINANCE
PURPOSE AND ACTION REQUESTED: Staff is seeking City Council authorization to make a
lump sum payment to IMRF in the amount of $3,735,867 in order to retire the majority of
the existing ERI program liability and achieve a significant savings in interest costs.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: In February 2011, the City Council authorized the IMRF Early
Retirement Incentive (ERI) program. The program was offered over a 12-month period
from April 2011 through April 2012, with 26 City, 2 Library and 6 School District 67
employees electing to participate in the program. In July 2012, City staff provided the
City Council Finance Committee an updated analysis of the projected cost savings of
the ERI program for the City’s participation showing a ten-year total net savings of $4.5
million. However, it was reported that additional savings could be realized by
accelerating the payoff of the liability that was projected to be amortized over a ten-
year period. IMRF assesses employers a 7.5% interest rate on the ERI liability annually and
interest assessments are maximized by back-loading principal amortization.
Following completion of the City’s FY2012 annual audit, Finance Department staff
provided the City Council Finance Committee optional payoff scenarios at its October
meeting. The City’s current General Fund reserves exceed the City’s policy for the FY2014
budget of 25% of operating revenues, plus accrued sick and vacation leave, and the
City is earning very low interest rates on monies deposited in the bank. Given the
excessive interest rate charged by IMRF on the ERI liability, the Committee concurred that
early payoff of the liability was of interest, but wanted to be certain this would not pose
an undue hardship on School District 67 since they share this liability with the City.
City staff approached School District 67 staff regarding the early payment concept and
upon discussion with their Board, it was reported to the City that the School District was
supportive of any early payment option being considered, including full payment of the
liability. The concept was also discussed with the Library Director, who will be unable to
discuss with her Board until January, but she has indicated that she believes the Board will
look at early payment favorably as well. It is recommended that the City make the
Library’s portion of the payment at this time and work out a payment arrangement
amenable to the Library when the Board can take up the matter in January.
It is recommended that the advance payment be made prior to December 31 for two
reasons:
1) Any payment made prior to December 31, 2012 will favorably impact the 2014
IMRF employer rate; and
2) Any payment made prior to December 31, 2012 will allow avoidance of interest
charged January 1, 2014 at 7.5% on the liability balance as of December 31, 2012.
6
December 3, 2012 Agenda
The City’s portion of the payment would be allocated between the General Fund, Parks
and Recreation Fund and Water Utility Fund based upon the fund from which each ERI
participant was charged as an active employee. Reserves are sufficient in both the
General Fund and Parks and Recreation Fund to absorb the full payment at this time and
maintain sufficient reserve balances. In order to avoid drawing the Water Fund reserves
below minimum requirements, it is recommended that the General Fund make the Water
Fund payment at this time from excess fund balance reserves and recover the payment
from the Water Fund over five years (FY13-FY17) in equal amounts.
The lump sum payments proposed to be made December 17, 2012 by the City and
School District 67, when combined with the amortization already scheduled as part of the
2013 employer rate, is anticipated to be sufficient to fully amortize the liability by
December 31, 2013.
BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT:
While not budgeted, these payments can be made from the contingency amount
allocated in the FY13 Appropriations Ordinance from fund balance. The advance
payment will reduce the amount paid from future operating budgets at a savings due to
the avoidance of the 7.5% interest amount charged by IMRF. This early payoff will save
the City, Library and School District 67 combined more than $2 million in interest cost
savings. With the City representing 83% of that liability, the City will save $1.77 million in
interest costs.

Municipal Retirement Fund (IMRF) in the amount of $3,735,867 to retire in advance the
Early Retirement Incentive (ERI) Program Liability. This action is contingent upon the
School District #67 Board authorizing a payment of their portion of the liability at their
meeting on December 11.

2. Award of Bid for the Replacement of the Water Plant Sewage Ejector System using
F.Y. 2013 Water Fund Capital Improvement Monies
STAFF CONTACT: DAN MARTIN, SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC WORKS
PURPOSE AND ACTION REQUESTED: Staff is recommending utilizing the $40,000 savings
from this past summer’s Tanglewood Court and Basswood Road water main projects to
replace the failing sewer ejector system at the Water Plant. The 50+ year old system has
become cost prohibitive to continue to maintain and operate. Over recent years, staff
has been able to have the components rebuilt, thereby deferring its replacement for
many years. This past spring when the system once again failed, it was determined that
rebuilding it had run its course and it was time to replace the system as a whole. Although
staff planned to include the replacement in the F.Y. 2014 operating capital budget, with
its most recent breakdown in late August, staff does not feel the repairs will hold until next
May. To avoid an emergency replacement of the sewer ejector system staff is requesting
City Council award the low bid for the Water Plant sewage ejector system as presented
below. If approved this evening, the new system would be installed by early January,
2013.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: The existing Shone Sewage Ejector System is original to the
1956 plant expansion project. Replacement parts are unavailable and qualified repair
technicians are difficult to find. There has been three emergency service calls to repair
the system in the last eighteen months. Maintenance repairs are costly due to having to
rebuild obsolete equipment and difficulty gaining access to service the pumps because
of the cumbersome basin design. In addition, the existing system requires the Plant
8
December 3, 2012 Agenda
Operators to spent many hours on routine maintenance to keep the system functioning.
The proposed new sewer ejector system includes two electric pumps with controllers,
isolation valves and a larger basin with motor guide rails to remove the pumps for service
more efficiently.
BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT: On November 21, 2012, staff received the following bids for this
project:
Company Bid Amount
Strenger Plumbing
Inc.
$33,500
Martin Peterson
Company
$43,800
Illinois Pump Inc. $44,986
Pasquesi Plumbing
Corp.
$69,855
After a detailed review of the bids by the City’s consulting engineer and staff, Strenger
Plumbing’s proposal met all of the required project specifications and they have a good
work history with The City of Lake Forest. This non-budgeted item will be paid for via the
$40,000+ savings realized from this year’s two water main projects.

3. Award of Bid for the Purchase of Low-Range Turbidimeters for each Membrane
Filtration Skid.
STAFF CONTACT: DAN MARTIN, SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC WORKS
PURPOSE AND ACTION REQUESTED: Staff is requesting City Council authorization to award
the bid for the purchase of 8 turbidimeters. The installation is scheduled to be completed
in January, 2013.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: Turbidity in the finished water is currently measured by two
HACH turbidimeters. The HACH meters are nine years old, have reached the end of their
service life and are no longer supported by the manufacturer. Measuring the turbidity
produced by the water treatment plants is mandated by the Illinois Environmental
Protection Agency (IEPA). Presently, each turbidimeter measures the water produced for
half or four (4) of the membrane filtration skids. Operating this way has become
problematic during peak demand because each of the four skids has to be isolated,
9
December 3, 2012 Agenda
shutdown, and tested. Troubleshooting the four skids will then highlight which skid requires
service due to an air leak, fiber break, or some other malfunction. This process of
elimination in order to isolate the bad skid is a labor intensive process that is costly to
water production when the Plant is running at full capacity to meet seasonal demands.
The addition of a turbidimeter to each skid will enable Plant Operators to pinpoint which
skid has a problem so it can be more immediately isolated, repaired, and put back into
service.
BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT: At the November 26, 2012 public bid opening, staff received the
following bids for this project:
Company Bid Amount
Midwest Water
Group / SWAN
Analytical
$39,060.00
HACH $46,681.06
After a detailed review of the bids by staff, the turbidimeters proposed by Midwest Water
Group / SWAN Analytical met the specifications and their references came highly
recommended for their accuracy and ease of maintenance. Midwest Water Group,
Chicago, IL is the authorized manufactures representative for SWAN Analytical, USA.
HACH Company sells direct from their factories. The SWAN instruments are backed by a
four year parts and services warranty. In addition, the turbidimeters LED photocells have
a twelve year life span. The Fiscal Impact is as follows:

1. Consideration of an Appeal from the Denial of PSEBA Benefits Based on the
Application of Former Lake Forest Firefighter, Todd Netherton (Final Approval)
PRESENTED BY MARLO DEL PERCIO, CITY ATTORNEY
Former Lake Forest Firefighter, Todd Netherton, applied for and received a permanent
duty-related pension from the Lake Forest Firefighters' Pension Board (the "Pension Board")
as a result of asthma. Following the pension award from the Pension Board, Mr.
10
December 3, 2012 Agenda
Netherton applied for benefits under the Illinois Public Safety Employee Benefit Act, 820
ILCS 320 ("PSEBA").
PSEBA provides that a public employer shall "pay the entire premium of the employer's
health insurance plan for" injured police officers and firefighters who suffer a
"catastrophic injury" that occurs "as the result of the officer's response to fresh pursuit, the
officer or firefighter's response to what is reasonably believed to be an emergency, an
unlawful act perpetrated by another, or during the investigation of a criminal act." 820
ILCS 320/10. The health care benefits are for the officer's life, and they also extend to the
spouse and dependent children under 26 years of age of the injured officer.
Upon review of Mr. Netherton's application and applicable law, City Manager Kiely
denied Mr. Netherton's application for PSEBA benefits, and Mr. Netherton has appealed
that decision to the City Council. Briefs and proposed orders have been filed both on
behalf of the City Manager and Mr. Netherton, and the City Council deliberated on the
merits of the appeal in executive session, as authorized by 5 ILCS 140/2(c)(4) and 5 ILCS
140/2(c)(11), on November 19, 2012.
Two proposed resolutions are included in the packet beginning on page 137--one
affirming City Manager Kiely's determination to deny Mr. Netherton's application for
PSEBA benefits and one reversing City Manager Kiely's determination and awarding
PSEBA benefits.
While it is expected that no additional evidence for the record will be submitted on
December 3, 2012, the City Council may permit members of the public wishing to
comment to do so per the rules established by the Council.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Approve one of the alternative resolutions thereby issuing the
Council's written final order on Mr. Netherton's appeal.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Elizabeth Holleb, Director of Finance
Diane Hall, Assistant Director of Finance
FROM: Catherine J. Czerniak, Director of Community Development
DATE: October 25, 2012
SUBJECT: Recommended Fee Adjustments for Fiscal Year 2014
Attached is the fee spread sheet with the changes recommended by the Community
Development Department. No overall increases are proposed in any fee category. Over
the past couple years; the City has held development fees steady in support of
construction activity at all levels. Current fees appear to be adequately covering the cost
of the various services.
As part of the department’s annual review of all fees, a few areas were identified where
the cost of service is not fully covered by current fees. The few new fees and adjustments
that are proposed really amount to clarifications and refinements to the current fee
schedule to better reflect the various tasks related to the development review process.
The proposed changes do not generate a significant amount of revenue, however they will
provide for consistency, assure that the cost of service is covered and will allow the staff
to be responsive to various situations that come up from time to time.
New Fee Recommendations
Building Scale Waiver Request -- $100
For some smaller house addition projects, a complete building scale calculation is
not necessary. In these cases, a cursory review by staff of the lot size and any square
footage deductions due to easements, slope areas or wetlands, and a review of the
existing house and proposed addition, may reveal that the proposed addition falls
well within the allowable square footage. Providing the opportunity for a property
owner to request a waiver of the Building Scale calculation will save the owner time
and money, and streamline the process.
Since some staff analysis of the request for waiver is required to assure that the
project is obviously within the allowable square footage, a fee of $100 is proposed for
review of the waiver request. This process option will result in some reduction in the
Building Scale calculation fees collected, however currently, in many of these cases,
28
Page 2 of 8 October 25, 2012
this cursory review and waiver of a Building Scale calculation is done by staff as a
courtesy, at no charge. This waiver process is similar to the opportunity to request a
grading waiver which is currently used by the Engineering Section. Projected
Revenue FY 2014: $2,500
Administrative Demolitions -- $250
The Code currently provides for administrative approval of a demolition if specific
Code criteria are satisfied. In these cases, the demolition does not require review
and approval by either the Building Review Board or Historic Preservation
Commission, but instead, approval by the City Manager. This process is used on a
very limited basis most often to approve a structure that has only had marginal use
for many years, is of no historical significance and is in serious disrepair. For
instance, from time to time institutions such as Churches or schools may come
forward with a request to demolish a residence on their property that is no longer
used. The administrative demolition process currently does not have a fee associated
with it but does require time to prepare a report and analysis and brief the City
Manager prior to his consideration of the request. This fee is intended to cover the
costs of this administrative process already authorized by the Code for which no fee
is currently charged. Projected Revenue FY 2014: $500
Legal Ad Publication -- $50 per ad
They Code requires that some petitions that come before the Boards and
Commissions be advertised in a newspaper of local circulation. In the past, the City
has paid for the cost of these legal ads since the cost has been nominal. Over the past
year, the publication costs have risen resulting in an average cost of $50 per
advertisement. This fee covers the City’s costs in this area. Projected Revenue FY
2014: $650
Fee Increase
Building Scale Calculations – Single Family/Duplex -- $400/200 per unit
The Fee Schedule currently provides for a reduced building scale calculation fee with
the submittal of a completed worksheet and dimensioned plans. Most homeowners
and architects take advantage of this reduction and prepare the calculations on their
own for City review. This proposed fee increase impacts the cost of building
calculations for which the worksheet is not submitted. The level of staff work
required if no worksheet is submitted is significantly greater than with a worksheet,
yet the fee does not reflect that distinction. Increasing this fee will not only more fully
cover the staff work associated with preforming the calculations without the
worksheet, but also hopefully encourage completion of the worksheet, streamlining
the staff review process. Projected Revenue FY 2014: $340
Other
29
Page 3 of 8 October 25, 2012
Clarifications/Corrections to Existing Fee Schedule
Under Building Scale Fees, the fee for building scale reviews for two-family
dwellings, with submittal of a completed worksheet and detailed plan should be
$120 per unit. (Line items 87)
I hope this information is helpful in understanding the changes proposed. Please do not
hesitate to contact me if you need further clarifications, have any questions or different
ideas. I would be happy to meet with you to discuss any of these recommendations.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Elizabeth Holleb, Director of Finance
Diane Hall, Assistant Director of Finance
FROM: Jeffrey Wait, Superintendent of Special Facilities
Mary Van Arsdale, Director of Parks and Recreation
DATE: November 7, 2012
SUBJECT: Recommended Recreation Fee Adjustments for FY 2014
Attached is the fee spread sheet with the rate adjustments recommended by the Parks and
Recreation Department for the areas of Deerpath Golf Course, Lake Forest Fitness Center and
Lakefront Permits. Fee recommendations were developed after review of historical pricing,
current performance data and a market comparative study. Detailed analysis and rationale were
developed for all of the fee items and was discussed and approved by the Parks and Recreation
Board at their October 9, 2012 public meeting. In the case of the Deerpath Golf Course, the fees
were also reviewed and endorsed by the Golf Advisory Committee. Fee increases are required to
ensure that the cost of service is covered especially in the areas of personnel, maintenance and
capital improvements. The majority of fee increases are in the range of 3.5% but some
exceptions were made in the various areas to ensure market competitiveness and/or
consistency. Incremental revenue growth is anticipated from each of the areas for a cumulative
growth of $82,154. Detailed below are fee recommendations for each of the service areas.
Fitness Center Fee Recommendations:
Increase all resident and non‐resident membership fees by 3.5%, with the exception
of
the Senior Individual and Couple rate. The senior membership fees are not consistent
with the 25% discount seniors receive for other programs and services offered within
the Department. Staff is recommending increasing all senior membership types to
reflect a 25% discount.
New Fee -All-inclusive Group Exercise Pass $279 Members / $620 Non-members: To
remain competitive with surrounding clubs and to offer Fitness Center members an easy
to use membership for group exercise classes, the All-inclusive group exercise pass was
created. Currently group exercise participants purchase paper punch passes in
incremental volumes (12 or 24 punches) throughout the year to attend various classes.
By offering this new All-Inclusive pass, participants can purchase one pass for an entire
year that provides unlimited use of group exercise classes. This will make it more
efficient for the customer and help reduce the fitness center’s Administrative costs to
produce and monitor the paper punch passes. The pricing of the pass took into
consideration anticipated weekly volume of classes by the typical user and cumulative
cost for an all-inclusive membership rate. The pass will be available to members to add
onto their fitness center membership as well as to non-members who only wish to
participate in group exercise classes. Fitness membership peak sales timing is winter so
staff and Park Board request making this pass effective in December 2012 rather than
waiting until May 1, 2013 when other fee increases take effect. Revenue enhancement
31
Page 5 of 8 October 25, 2012
is based upon the most conservative projection. Projected Revenue for this new pass is
$7,285.
Total Fitness Revenue Growth: $32,234
Lakefront Permit Fee Recommendations:
A 3.5% increase in resident and non‐resident permit fee categories with these
exceptions:
o Staff is recommending no changes to the Nanny and Senior Caregiver Parking
Pass ($85) or the Resident Guest Daily and Non‐resident Beach Access Fee ($10).
These are set at appropriate market conditions.
o Following fee direction set in FY13, the Senior Resident rate for Seasonal and
Year‐round Boat Storage will continue to increase incrementally more than
other permits until it achieves 25% discount of the Resident rate. This would be
consistent with other senior discounts within the Department. The yearly
storage would increase from $1,107 to $1,234 (10% increase) or 65.5% of the
Resident rate. The seasonal storage rate would increase from $806 to $865 (7%)
or 68% of the Resident rate.
New Fee: Instituting a Non‐resident Daily Ramp Launch Fee of $60. Currently non-
residents are not permitted to pay a daily fee to launch their watercraft from the City’s
basin. This fee will allow non-residents to launch their watercraft by paying a daily fee
and may establish a new revenue stream for the Department. This fee is competitive
with other North Shore launching facilities. This is not included in the revenue
differential as it may take a season for the Department to market this to non‐residents.
Any revenue from this fee will only increase the overall revenue for the basin.
Lakefront Permit Fees – Extra Decal Fee
The Extra Decal has been a source of confusion to patrons and front line staff in the
registration office. The current Extra Decal ($67) was intended for watercraft with more
than one owner, not owners with more than one watercraft. Clarifying what this fee
supports will require will eliminate discounting and proper collection of fees as that the
second watercraft owner should not receive a discounted vehicle permit for use of the
same facility as a single owner. The Extra Decal would be offered to residents ($123),
senior residents ($92) and non-residents ($1,511).
Total Lakefront Permit Fees: $11,808
Deerpath Golf Course Fee Recommendations:
Membership Fees: The membership base is core to the operational success of Deerpath
Golf Course. For the 2012 season, Deerpath sold 398 memberships and drove $396,226
in revenue. Deerpath did not reach its membership goals in 2012, primarily due to a
decline of 31 single memberships. This loss was partially offset by half-priced junior
memberships. This decline in course memberships reflects what is transpiring regionally
and on the national level. As a result of our own recent experience and industry trends,
staff has budgeted to remain flat in total number of members in 2013. Staff, Park Board
and Golf Advisory Committee recognize the concerns of additional fee increases for the
2013 golf season after an 8% increase this last year. Instead fees recommendations
were framed within the context of a desire to develop a sense of “value” for their
32
Page 6 of 8 October 25, 2012
membership commitment. As a result, recommendations related to membership fees
are as follows:
1) No increase in membership fees if purchased prior to February 15, 2013.
After this date all resident and non-resident membership fees will increase by
3%. Staff anticipates a $2,112 increase in revenue over FY13 from membership
purchased after February 15.
2) Membership paid before the February 15, 2013 deadline will qualify for a
one-time 25% discount card good for use on any in stock or special order pro
shop merchandise sale (single or multiple items) purchased before June 1, 2013.
This rewards members for committing early to Deerpath while allowing them to
have a perk that they can customize for their golfing needs and the course gains
revenue through clubhouse sales.
Daily Fees: Daily fees are substantial lifeblood of Deerpath Golf Course and constitute
approximately 50% of our play. In order to compete with our competitive marketplace
and best increase utilization, Deerpath will utilize demand based pricing to drive the
highest rate per round per day throughout the season. With the implementation of third
party booking companies, E-Z Links, GolfNow and Back 9, staff is more capable of selling
under-utilized tee times. These vendors have large databases of potential players from
which to help the course sell these tee times. The daily rate proposed on the attached
charts is our highest rack rate, but most likely will be decreased as the market dictates.
As a result, recommendations related to daily fees are as follows:
1) No increase in daily resident or non-resident fees.
2) Staff is budgeting for a 5% increase (or 856 additional daily fee rounds) over
FY13 projected year-end rounds.
Electric Cart Fees: Carts are utilized by approximately 50% of our players and help
optimize the golf experience (especially for our senior population which is significant).
Carts necessitate consistent maintenance and staff upkeep, as well as utility expenses.
With the recommendations below, the course would net an additional $28,538 in cart
revenues. Recommendations related to cart fees are as follows:
1) Increase cart fees from $17 members/$18 non-members to $19 for all cart
users.
2) However, a $1 discount will be given to senior players on weekdays
(Monday-Friday).
Permanent Tee Time Fees: Permanent Tee Times are a valued privilege at Deerpath for
many of our most loyal golfers. Permanent tee times are currently available on
Saturdays and Sundays over a 29 week period. With our new technology, we are now
able to track our utilization rates of these times and we have a 66% utilization rate
which has limited the City’s ability to re-sell these tee times to daily fee guests and left
unrealized revenue which can be substantial. Recommendations for 2013 are as follows:
1) Institute a “No Show / Cancellation Policy” for permanent tee time users.
2) Increase Permanent Tee Time fees from $250 per time to $300 per tee time.
3) The last tee time of each hour (total of four per Saturday and four per
Sunday) will be retained by the City for sale to the general public. This will
allow the City to capture more revenue during these prime hours and allow us
to advertise to the public the availability of tee times on Saturday and Sunday
mornings which has not been part of our identity before.
33
Page 7 of 8 October 25, 2012
Large Range Bucket Fee: Increase the large range bucket from $11 to $15. This would
bring the large bucket per ball rate consistent with the small and medium bucket per
ball rate.
Rental Clubs Fee: Increase rental club fee to $20. This would be more in line with the
local competition.
Locker Fee: Increase locker rental fees by $5. This increase will net an additional $295.
Staff will market primarily to our youth players so they may have clubs on site when
they arrive for their lesson program.
Total Golf Course Fees: $34,958

the person in whose name this Bond is registered on the books of the Bond Registrar at the close
of business on the first day of the calendar month of the applicable interest payment date.
During such time as this Bond is registered so as to participate in a securities depository system
with The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), principal of and interest on this Bond shall be
payable by wire transfer pursuant to instructions from DTC. The principal of and interest on this
Bond are payable in lawful money of the United States of America. No interest shall accrue on

This bond is one of an authorized issue of Bonds in the aggregate principal amount of

adopted by the City Council on April 7, 2003 and by Ordinance No. _____ adopted by the City

A-3
4838-3879-8097.4
which the holder by the acceptance of this Bond assents. The Bonds, together with the interest
thereon, are limited obligations of the City, payable solely from the collection of the Special
Taxes and from the pledge of the City’s Enterprise Revenues (as defined in the Bond Ordinance)
pursuant to the Bond Ordinance. For the prompt payment of the principal of and interest on this
Bond the Special Taxes are hereby irrevocably pledged. THE BONDS DO NOT
CONSTITUTE A GENERAL OBLIGATION OF THE CITY AND NEITHER THE FULL
FAITH AND CREDIT NOR THE UNLIMITED TAXING POWER OF THE CITY IS
PLEDGED TO PAYMENT OF THE BONDS. NO HOLDER OF THIS BOND SHALL
HAVE THE RIGHT TO COMPEL THE EXERCISE OF THE GENERAL TAXING
POWER OF THE CITY (OTHER THAN THE LEVY OF THE SPECIAL TAXES) OR
ANY USE OF THE GENERAL FUNDS OF THE CITY FOR PAYMENT OF
PRINCIPAL OF OR INTEREST ON THIS BOND.
The Bonds maturing on or after December 15, 2009 shall be subject to redemption prior
to maturity at the option of the City, and upon notice as herein provided, in whole, or in part, on
any date on or after December 15, 2008, at a redemption price equal to the principal amount of
the Bonds to be redeemed, without premium, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of
redemption.
In the event of the redemption of less than all the Bonds of like maturity, the aggregate
principal amount thereof to be redeemed shall be $5,000 or an integral multiple thereof and the
Bond Registrar shall assign to each Bond of such maturity a distinctive number for each $5,000
principal amount of such Bond and shall select by lot from the numbers so assigned as many
numbers as, at $5,000 for each number, shall equal the principal amount of such Bonds to be
redeemed. The Bonds to be redeemed shall be the Bonds to which were assigned numbers so
72
A-4
4838-3879-8097.4
selected; provided that only so much of the principal amount of each Bond shall be redeemed as
shall equal $5,000 for each number assigned to it and so selected.
Notice of the redemption of Bonds shall be mailed not less than 30 days nor more than 60
days prior to the date fixed for such redemption to the registered owners of the Bonds to be
redeemed at their last addresses appearing on the registration books maintained by the City. The
Bonds or portions thereof specified in said notice shall become due and payable at the applicable
redemption price on the redemption date herein designated, and if, on the redemption date,
moneys for payment of the redemption price of all the Bonds or portions thereof to be redeemed,
together with interest to the redemption date, shall be available for such payment on said date,
and if notice of redemption shall have been mailed as aforesaid (and notwithstanding any defect
therein or the lack of actual receipt thereof by any registered owner) then from and after the
redemption date interest on such Bonds or portions thereof shall cease to accrue and become
payable. If there shall be drawn for redemption less than all of a Bond, the City shall execute
and the Bond Registrar shall authenticate and deliver, upon the surrender of such Bond, without
charge to the owner thereof, in exchange for the unredeemed balance of the Bond so surrendered,
Bonds of like maturity and of the denomination of $5,000 or any integral multiple thereof.
The Bond Registrar shall not be required to transfer or exchange any Bond after notice of
the redemption of all or a portion thereof has been mailed. The Bond Registrar shall not be
required to transfer or exchange any Bond during a period of 15 days next preceding the mailing
of a notice of redemption that could designate for redemption all or a portion of such Bond.
The Bond is negotiable, subject to the following provisions for registration and
registration of transfer. The City shall maintain books for the registration and registration of
transfer of Bonds at the office of Lake Forest Bank & Trust Company, as Bond Registrar. This

A-5
4838-3879-8097.4
Bond is fully registered on those books in the name of its owner, as to both principal and interest,
and transfer of this Bond may be registered on those books upon surrender of this Bond to the
Bond Registrar by the registered owner or his or his attorney duly authorized in writing together
with a written instrument of transfer satisfactory to the Bond Registrar duly executed by the
registered owner or his or her duly authorized attorney. Upon surrender of this Bond for
registration of transfer, a new Bond or Bonds in the same aggregate principal amount and of the
same maturity will be issued to the transferee as provided in the Ordinance.
This Bond may be exchanged, at the option of the Registered Owner, for an equal
aggregate principal amount of Bonds of the same maturity of any other authorized
denominations, upon surrender of this Bond at the office of the Bond Registrar with a written
instrument of transfer satisfactory to the Bond Registrar duly executed by the Registered Owner
or his or her duly authorized attorney.
For every exchange or registration of transfer of this Bond, the City or the Bond Registrar
may make a charge sufficient to reimburse it for any tax, fee or other governmental charge, other
than one imposed by the City, required to be paid with respect to that exchange or registration of
transfer, and payment of that charge by the person requesting exchange or registration of transfer
shall be a condition precedent to that exchange or registration of transfer. No other charge may
be made by the City or the Bond Registrar as a condition precedent to exchange or registration of
transfer of this Bond.
The Bond Registrar will not be required to exchange or register the transfer of any Bond
during the period beginning at the close of business on the first day of the month of any
applicable interest payment date on such Bond and ending on such interest payment date.

receiving payment of the principal of or interest on this Bond and for all other purposes, and
neither the City, the Bond Registrar nor the Paying Agent shall be affected by any notice to the
contrary. Payment of the principal of and interest on this Bond shall be made only to its

confirmation of purchase, delivery or transfer, the beneficial owners of this Bond shall be
deemed to have agreed to this arrangement. The agent, as registered owner of this Bond, shall be

of this Bond existed and were fulfilled in compliance with law. Provision has been made for the
levy, collection and segregation of the Special Taxes sufficient to pay and discharge the principal
of this Bond at maturity and to pay interest on this Bond as it falls due. The issuance of the
Bonds by the City will not cause the City to exceed or violate any applicable limitation or
condition respecting the issuance of bonds imposed by the laws of the State of Illinois or by any
ordinance or resolution of the City. The Bonds are issued for purposes for which the City is
authorized by law to issue bonds including but not limited to the payment of costs of the special

referred to as the “Establishing Ordinance.” The Special Tax Roll divides the special tax such
that 35.59% of the Special Services cost is allocable to the Knollwood Club Parcel (as defined in
the Establishing Ordinance), and 64.41% is allocable to the aggregate of the Residential Lots (as

of authentication on that Replacement Bond substantially in the form set forth in the bond form
in Exhibit A to this Ordinance shall have been duly executed by the Authenticating Agent
appointed pursuant to the Bond Ordinance. Execution of that certificate upon any Replacement

surrender of this Bond at the principal corporate trust office of Lake Forest Bank & Trust
Company, Lake Forest, Illinois, as Paying Agent (the “Paying Agent”) the Principal Amount of

During such time as this Bond is registered so as to participate in a securities depository system
with The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), principal of and interest on this Bond shall be
payable by wire transfer pursuant to instructions from DTC. The principal of and interest on this
Bond are payable in lawful money of the United States of America. No interest shall accrue on
this Bond after its Date of Maturity unless this Bond shall have been presented for payment at
maturity and shall not then have been paid. The Bonds initially are being issued in certificated

This Bond is one of an authorized issue of Bonds in the aggregate principal amount of
$276,500. This Bond and the issue of which it is a part (together, the “Bonds”) are issued
pursuant to the provisions of the Special Service Area Tax Law, 35 ILCS 200/27-5 et seq., as
amended, and the provisions of The Local Government Debt Reform Act, 30 ILCS 350 et seq.,
as amended, and the principal of and interest on the Bonds are payable from special taxes (the

Service Area Number 26 (Waukegan Road Sewer Extension) (the “Special Service Area”) in
accordance with a Special Tax Roll approved by the City pursuant to Ordinance No. 03-27
adopted by the City on April 17, 2003 as amended by Ordinance No. 03-48 adopted by the City
Council on October 7, 2003 and by Ordinance No. ____ adopted by the City Council on
December 3, 2012.
The Bonds are being issued for the purpose of paying the costs of special services to be
provided to the Special Service Area, all as more fully described in a bond ordinance adopted by

94

4813-7392-5137.3
which the holder by the acceptance of this Bond assents. The Bonds, together with the interest
thereon, are limited obligations of the City, payable solely from the (i) collection of the Special
Taxes; and (ii) from a subordinate pledge of certain available revenues of the City’s waterworks
and sewerage system subject to the provisions of prior and future agreements pledging such
revenues, pursuant to the Bond Ordinance. For the prompt payment of the principal of and
interest on this Bond the Special Taxes are hereby irrevocably pledged. THE BONDS DO NOT
CONSTITUTE A GENERAL OBLIGATION OF THE CITY AND NEITHER THE FULL
FAITH AND CREDIT NOR THE UNLIMITED TAXING POWER OF THE CITY IS
PLEDGED TO PAYMENT OF THE BONDS. NO HOLDER OF THIS BOND SHALL
HAVE THE RIGHT TO COMPEL THE EXERCISE OF THE GENERAL TAXING
POWER OF THE CITY (OTHER THAN THE LEVY OF THE SPECIAL TAXES) OR
ANY USE OF THE GENERAL FUNDS OF THE CITY FOR PAYMENT OF
PRINCIPAL OF OR INTEREST ON THIS BOND.
The Bonds maturing on or after December 15, 2009 shall be subject to redemption prior
to maturity at the option of the City, and upon notice as herein provided, in whole, or in part, on
any date on or after December 15, 2008, at a redemption price equal to the principal amount of
the Bonds to be redeemed, without premium, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of
redemption in any order of maturity as selected by the City. All, but not less than all, Bonds of a
single maturity may be redeemed as provided herein.
Notice of the redemption of Bonds shall be mailed not less than 30 days nor more than 60
days prior to the date fixed for such redemption to the registered owners of the Bonds to be
redeemed at their last addresses appearing on the registration books maintained by the City. The
Bonds specified in said notice shall become due and payable at the applicable redemption price
95

4813-7392-5137.3
on the redemption date herein designated, and if, on the redemption date, moneys for payment of
the redemption price of such Bonds to be redeemed, together with interest to the redemption
date, shall be available for such payment on said date, and if notice of redemption shall have
been mailed as aforesaid (and notwithstanding any defect therein or the lack of actual receipt
thereof by any registered owner) then from and after the redemption date interest on such Bonds
shall cease to accrue and become payable.
The Bond Registrar shall not be required to transfer or exchange any Bond after notice of
the redemption of such Bond has been mailed. The Bond Registrar shall not be required to
transfer or exchange any Bond during a period of 15 days next preceding the mailing of a notice
of redemption that could designate for redemption such Bond.
The Bond is negotiable, subject to the following provisions for registration and
registration of transfer. The City shall maintain books for the registration and registration of
transfer of Bonds at the office of Lake Forest Bank & Trust Company, Lake Forest, Illinois, as
Bond Registrar. This Bond is fully registered on those books in the name of its owner, as to both
principal and interest, and transfer of this Bond may be registered on those books upon surrender
of this Bond to the Bond Registrar by the registered owner or his or his attorney duly authorized
in writing together with a written instrument of transfer satisfactory to the Bond Registrar duly
executed by the registered owner or his or her duly authorized attorney. Upon surrender of this
Bond for registration of transfer, a new Bond or Bonds in the same aggregate principal amount
and of the same maturity will be issued to the transferee as provided in the Ordinance.
This Bond may be exchanged, at the option of the Registered Owner, for an equal
aggregate principal amount of Bonds of the same maturity of any other authorized
denominations, upon surrender of this Bond at the office of the Bond Registrar with a written
96
5
4813-7392-5137.3
instrument of transfer satisfactory to the Bond Registrar duly executed by the Registered Owner
or his or her duly authorized attorney.
For every exchange or registration of transfer of this Bond, the City or the Bond Registrar
may make a charge sufficient to reimburse it for any tax, fee or other governmental charge, other
than one imposed by the City, required to be paid with respect to that exchange or registration of
transfer, and payment of that charge by the person requesting exchange or registration of transfer
shall be a condition precedent to that exchange or registration of transfer. No other charge may
be made by the City or the Bond Registrar as a condition precedent to exchange or registration of
transfer of this Bond.
The Bond Registrar will not be required to exchange or register the transfer of any Bond
during the period beginning at the close of business on the first day of the month of any
applicable interest payment date on such Bond and ending on such interest payment date.
The City, the Paying Agent and the Bond Registrar may deem and treat the Registered
Owner of this Bond as its absolute owner, whether or not this Bond is overdue, for the purpose of
receiving payment of the principal of or interest on this Bond and for all other purposes, and
neither the City, the Bond Registrar nor the Paying Agent shall be affected by any notice to the
contrary. Payment of the principal of and interest on this Bond shall be made only to its
registered owner, and all such payments shall be valid and effective to satisfy the obligation of
the City on this Bond to the extent of the amount paid.
[The City has established a book-entry only system of registration for the Bonds. Except
as specifically provided otherwise in the Bond Ordinance, an agent will be the registered owner
and will hold this Bond on behalf of the beneficial owners hereof. By acceptance of a
confirmation of purchase, delivery or transfer, the beneficial owners of this Bond shall be
97
6
4813-7392-5137.3
deemed to have agreed to this arrangement. The agent, as registered owner of this Bond, shall be
treated as the owner hereof for all purposes.]*
All conditions which by law must have existed or must have been fulfilled in the issuance
of this Bond existed and were fulfilled in compliance with law. Provision has been made for the
levy, collection and segregation of the Special Taxes sufficient to pay and discharge the principal
of this Bond at maturity and to pay interest on this Bond as it falls due. The issuance of the
Bonds by the City will not cause the City to exceed or violate any applicable limitation or
condition respecting the issuance of Bonds imposed by the laws of the State of Illinois or by any
ordinance or resolution of the City. The Bonds are issued for purposes for which the City is
authorized by law to issue bonds including but not limited to the payment of costs of the special
services to be provided to the Special Service Area and to pay costs of the City in connection
with the issuance of the Bonds.
This Bond shall not be valid for any purpose unless and until the certificate of
authentication on this Bond shall have been duly executed by the Authenticating Agent identified
below.

THE CITY OF LAKE FOREST
SPECIAL SERVICE AREA NO. 26 (WAUKEGAN ROAD SEWER EXTENSION)
BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LAKE FOREST,
LAKE COUNTY, ILLINOIS, AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. Authority. The City of Lake Forest (the “City”) is authorized, pursuant to
Article VII, Section 7(6) of the Constitution of the State of Illinois, and pursuant to the
provisions of the Illinois Special Service Area Tax Law, 35 ILCS 200/27-5 et seq. (the “Act”), to
establish special service areas for the provision of special governmental services in portions of
the City and to levy or impose a special tax and to issue bonds for the provision of such special
services; and pursuant to Section 27-75 of the Act, the special tax roll setting forth the manner in
which the special tax will be levied and extended may be set forth in an amendment to the
ordinance establishing a special service area.
Section 2. Findings.
(a) The City Council of the City adopted Ordinance No. 03-27, An Ordinance
Establishing The City of Lake Forest Special Service Area No. 26 (Waukegan Road Sewer
Extension) (the “Original Establishing Ordinance”) on April 17, 2003 pursuant to which the
“City of Lake Forest Special Service Area No. 26 (Waukegan Road Sewer Extension)” was
established consisting of the contiguous territory legally described in Exhibit A hereto (the
“Area”), for the purpose of providing special services to the Area in addition to services provided
in the City generally and so that bonds could be issued for the purposes aforesaid, payable from
taxes levied on real property in the Area in accordance with a special tax roll.
101
2
4844-0950-1457.2
(b) The Original Establishing Ordinance was amended by Ordinance No. 03-
48 adopted by the City Council on October 7, 2003 to approve a Special Tax Roll which was
attached thereto as Exhibit C and provided for the manner of levying and extending taxes for the
payment of principal of and interest on any bonds issued for the purposes set forth in the Original
Establishing Ordinance. The Original Establishing Ordinance as so amended is hereinafter
referred to as the “Establishing Ordinance”. The Special Tax Roll as so approved divides the
special tax such that 1/7 or 14.285% of the Special Services cost is allocable to each Lot (as
defined in the Establishing Ordinance). This percentage spreads the special tax equally among
each of the Lots in accordance with the findings of the City that each Lot would benefit equally
from the Special Services.
(c) The City has heretofore approved the issuance of the $276,500 Special
Service Area Number 26 (Waukegan Road Sewer Extension) Special Tax Bonds, Series 2003
(the “Bonds”) pursuant to Ordinance Number 03-49 adopted on October 7, 2003, as amended
(the “Bond Ordinance”) and the Bonds were issued on October 28, 2003 according to the terms
of the Bond Ordinance.
(d) The Registered Owner (as defined in the Bond Ordinance) of the Bonds
has agreed to a reduction of the interest rate by one hundred and fifty basis points per annum
(1.50%) for each maturity of the Bonds outstanding that mature after December 15, 2012 and the
Bond Ordinance is being amended contemporaneously with this Ordinance to reflect the
reduction in the interest rate on the Bonds, to authorize the issuance of replacement Bonds
reflecting the amended interest rate and to abate the special taxes in the amount of the interest
rate savings attributable to such reduced interest rate.
102
3
4844-0950-1457.2
(e) The City Council hereby determines that it is necessary and in the best
interests of the City to amend the Special Tax Roll to reflect the reduction in Special Taxes after
giving effect to such abatement and in accordance with the method set forth in the Establishing
Ordinance, without which amendment a defect would exist in the Special Tax Roll.
Section 3. Amendment of Special Tax Roll. The Special Tax Roll approved
pursuant to the Establishing Ordinance is hereby amended to reflect the abatement of the Special
Taxes in the form attached as Exhibit B hereto (the “Amended Special Tax Roll”). A copy of
this Ordinance, including the Amended Special Tax Roll, shall be filed with the County Clerk of
Lake County and with the Recorder of Deeds of Lake County.
Section 4. Supersede Conflicting Ordinance. All ordinances or parts of ordinances
in conflict with the provisions of this ordinance are repealed to the extent of each conflict.
Section 5. Effective Date. This Ordinance shall be in full force and effect from and
after its passage and approval in the manner provided by law.

Proceedings of the November 19, 2012
Regular City Council Meeting
The tax levy approved included the needs of all City departments, as well as for pensions and debt service requirements. A
summary of the proposed levies is as follows:
The proposed tax levy for 2012 reflects a 4.81% increase over the 2011 tax levy extensions for the City and Library operating funds
and City pension and debt service funds. This increase is in full compliance with the property tax cap limit of a 3.0% increase plus
new growth. Due to the expiration of the West Lake Forest TIF District in 2012, the assessed valuation of the TIF district will return
to the City and School District tax rolls for the 2012 levy for the first time in the 23-year life of the TIF as new growth, but not
increasing the overall tax burden of the average Lake Forest tax payer. Legislation allows for the exclusion of special recreation
($359,237) and a portion of the fire pension levy ($38,586) from the tax cap. Both amounts are in the above chart and are further
detailed in the attached spreadsheets. The average increase to existing residents will be approximately 2.41% or $66.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Grant first reading of an ordinance establishing the Tax Levy for 2012 for The City of Lake
Forest. A public hearing will be held on the tax levy in conjunction with second reading of the Ordinance on December 3,
2012.
Alderman Novit moved seconded by Alderman Palmer to Grant first reading of an ordinance establishing the Tax Levy for 2012 for
The City of Lake Forest. A public hearing will be held on the tax levy in conjunction with second reading of the Ordinance on
December 3, 2012. Motion carried unanimously by voice vote.
4. Abating 2012 Tax Levies for Various G.O. Alternate Revenue Bond Issues (Grant First Reading Approval)
Staff requested approval of a first reading of ordinances abating 2012 Tax Levies.
These ordinances provide for the abatement of 2012 taxes levied for the various outstanding general obligation ALTERNATE
REVENUE bond issues. The tax levies for all bond issues are established and recorded with the County Clerk at the time the
bonds are issued. Therefore, in order to reduce the bond tax levies, an abatement ordinance must be approved and filed with the
County Clerk before December 21, 2012.
The abatement of these general obligation (ALTERNATE REVENUE) bonds is possible due to the fact these bond funds have an
adequate revenue source from water sales, Cemetery revenue, golf fees, sales tax or payments from the U.S. Treasury.
Therefore, the general obligation tax levy can be abated as was planned at the time the bonds were issued.

6. Consideration of Ordinances Providing for the Refinancing of Special Service Area 25, 26 and 29 Bonds (First
Reading)
Staff requested City Council consideration of Ordinances to provide for the refinancing of bonds for Special Service Areas 25, 26
and 29.
The City currently has three special service areas financed by special tax bonds through Lake Forest Bank and Trust. Following the
City’s successful bond refunding in 2011, the City approached Lake Forest Bank and Trust (LFBT) regarding the possibility of
refinancing the Special Service Area (SSA) bonds on behalf of the impacted property owners. LFBT has offered an across the
board reduction in interest of 1.50% for all three bond issues for the remaining term of all three bonds. When factoring in the costs
associated with the refinancing, all three generate a net savings. On September 17, 2012, the City Council authorized staff to
contract with bond counsel to draft the required Ordinances to refinance the SSA 25, 26 and 29 special tax bonds. These
Ordinances were presented to City Council for consideration.

Replacement Project Included in the F.Y. 2013 TIF Budget
Dan Martin, Superintendent of Public Works requested City Council authorization to award the following two roof replacement bids
for Telegraph Depot to Cedar Roofing Company, LLC, and the Telegraph Fire Station to All American Exterior Solutions. The roof
replacement project would be scheduled for completion by December 2012.
The cedar shingle roofs at Telegraph Depot, 911 S. Telegraph Road and Telegraph Fire Station, 1111 S. Telegraph Road both have
the original roofs from when the buildings were built in 1991 and 1993, respectively. The cedar shingles are medium quality grade
and have reached the end of their useful lifespan (20 years). Both roofs have numerous shakes that are deteriorated, splitting,
cupped, and/or missing.
The proposed roof replacement includes installing premium grade, fire treated cedar shakes with a 30 year manufactures warranty
and a five (5) year contractor’s warranty.
On November 14, 2012, staff received the following bids for this project:

Regular City Council Meeting
After a detailed review of the bids by The City’s consulting engineer and by staff, both Cedar Roofing Company’s and All American
Exterior Solution’s proposal met all of the required project specifications and their references gave favorable responses. In the past,
The City of Lake Forest has awarded roof replacement contracts to both contractors and they have done exemplary work.
It is recommended that the funds originally budgeted for the Telegraph Depot Underpass Project be reallocated to replace the roof
on the Telegraph Depot and Telegraph Fire Station.

3. Consideration of a Recommendation to Enter Into a Contract with Mood Media Muzak, for the Installation
of a New Audiovisual System and the purchase of a new podium for the City Hall Council Chambers.
STAFF CONTACT: EDWARD JOHNSON, CABLE TV COORDINATOR (810-3690)
In Fiscal Year 12, staff was directed by the City Manager to upgrade the existing audiovisual system in the council chambers. The
equipment was last upgraded in 1995, and over time as equipment has failed, it has been replaced as necessary.
In addition to the audiovisual equipment, a new podium will be constructed serving as the system hub, enhancing the overall public
and staff presentation experience.
Audiovisual Equipment
As presented at the November 5, 2012 City Council meeting, the base bid includes installation of a ceiling-mounted projector, new
staff table microphones, two touchscreen control devices, new speakers, new audiovisual connections at the podium, control
system, and all necessary cables and connectors. The estimated cost of this base bid from Mood Media Muzak is $45,730.14.
Pursuant to feedback from the Council regarding video display needs, staff completed additional due diligence and recommends the
a la carte options listed below.
Video Display Option Cost
(a) Seven 17-inch video monitors at dais and one 17-inch
video monitor at staff table
$4079.93
(b) 46-inch video monitor mounted near projector screen
facing southeast corner of room
$2954.04
(c) 40-inch video monitor directly in front of dais adjacent
to wooden railing
$3384.12
staff recommended approval of the base bid from Mood Media Muzak in the amount of $45,730.14. Staff recommended the
approval of an additional $7033.97 for (a) eight 17-inch monitors and (b) one 46-inch monitor. Currently, there is $55,000 allocated
in the FY 13 CIP budget. Of the $55,000, $8,500 is earmarked to TDSi, for their professional services.
Podium
In addition to audiovisual components, staff is looking to construct a new podium to properly house new equipment that replaces
what is currently on the cart in the middle of the room. The podium will also reflect the historic aesthetics of the council chambers.
The City received four quotes from three different vendors ranging from $10,000 to $25,000 outlined below.
Vendor Model Price
Marshall Furniture MLFP-40 $10,000
Marshall Furniture MLAQ-40 $25,000
Lynch Construction Custom Design $16,000
David Woodhouse Architects, LLC Custom Design $17,000
Staff also recommended purchasing the podium from Lynch construction for $16,000. Their model has been custom-designed to fit
into the current podium space, and it reflects the character of Lake Forest’s council chambers versus the standard podium model
offered by Marshall Furniture.

Proceedings of the November 19, 2012
Regular City Council Meeting
NEW BUSINESS
1. Consideration of a Resolution Affirming Prior Approval of the White Stable Vineyard Planned Preservation
Subdivision and the Associated Special Use Permit. (Approve Resolution)
In 2010, the City Council approved the White Stable Vineyard Planned Preservation Subdivision and the associated Special Use
Permit. This development includes 34 single family lots, a vineyard and other amenities including walking trails, wooded areas, a
pond and historic structures designated for adaptive reuse. Although all of the required City approvals were granted, due to
economic conditions, the 47-acre property on which the White Stable Vineyard is to be developed has not yet transferred from the
original owner to the developer however, at this time, the transfer appears to be close at hand with development expected to get
underway soon after the transfer.
At the request of the developer, and after consultation with the City Attorney, the Council was asked to consider a Resolution
affirming the validity of the prior approvals of this development. Investors have requested assurance from the City that the prior
approvals are valid before proceeding with final negotiations. The final plat was never recorded so the time frame for completion of
the infrastructure for this project has not yet started. The elements of the plan remain as approved by the City Council in 2010. The
requested action by the Council simply affirmed that the prior approvals of the development stand and that the Council has not
taken any action to invalidate those approvals.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Approve the Resolution affirming the validity of prior approvals granted by the City Council for
the White Stable Vineyard Planned Preservation Subdivision.
Alderman Schoenheider moved, seconded by Alderman Palmer to approve the Resolution affirming the validity of prior approvals
granted by the City Council for the White Stable Vineyard Planned Preservation Subdivision. Motion carried unanimously by voice
vote.
