1. Consideration of the Annual Appropriation Ordinance for FY2013 and
Approval of Rollovers (First Reading)
PRESENTED BY ELIZABETH HOLLEB, FINANCE DIRECTOR
PURPOSE AND ACTION REQUESTED: Staff requests approving the first reading of the
ordinance and the rollovers.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: While the annual municipal budget represents the
City’s financial “plan” for expenditures over the course of the fiscal year, the
annual Appropriation Ordinance is the formal legal mechanism by which the City
Council authorizes the actual expenditures of funds budgeted in the annual
budget. It appropriates specific sums of money by object and purpose of
1
July 2, 2012 Agenda
expenditures. State statutes require the passage of an Appropriation Ordinance
which must be filed with the County Clerk by the end of July.
The Appropriation Ordinance beginning on page 9 includes the Library, which was
not included in the budget approved at the May 7, 2012 City Council meeting.
The Library expenses are approved by the Library Board. The Debt Service
payments were included in the budget approved at the May 7, 2012 City Council
meeting, but are excluded from the Appropriation Ordinance. The ordinances
approving the debt issues authorize these annual expenditures.
The Appropriation Ordinance provides for a 10% “contingency” in the
expenditures in an amount above those actually budgeted. Each separate fund
includes an item labeled “contingency” with an appropriate sum equivalent up to
10% of the total funds budgeted. This practice has been followed for the past
thirty years and has worked very efficiently, while still providing for complete City
Council control over budgeted expenditures. Importantly, the City Council and
City staff follows the adopted budget as its spending guideline, not the
Appropriation Ordinance.
Without the contingency, the City Council would have to pass further
modifications to the Appropriation Ordinance to cover any unforeseen
expenditures exceeding the budget.
In addition, in order to provide more accurate and efficient accounting and
budgeting of City funds, an annual rollover of funds beginning on page 22 is
required. This eliminates both under and over budgeting of funds in the new fiscal
year and is a widely used standard practice for most municipal governments. The
items on the attached rollover list consist of projects that were appropriated in
FY2012 and will not be completed until FY2013.
At the May 7, 2012 City Council meeting, an additional $225,000 was approved for
the Housing Trust Fund for the purchase of additional homes. This amount was not
included in the approved FY13 budget. This additional funding has been added
to the FY2013 Appropriation Ordinance.
School District 67 does not recognize the Appropriation Ordinance in their
budgeting or auditing standards. However, due to the fact they are a special
charter district, their budget must be included in our Appropriation Ordinance.
School District 67 numbers are estimates and are subject to changes.

B. Approval of Resolution regarding Yellow Book Opt-out Program
PRESENTED BY ARRON STAHLY, MANAGEMENT INTERN
In February of this year, City staff learned of voluntary Yellow Pages industry efforts to
address the unwanted delivery of directories. Following that, City staff brought the matter
to, and received approval from, the Public Works Committee to bring a resolution
beginning on page 23 supporting this program for approval to the City Council. The
resolution would encourage Lake Forest residents and businesses to utilize the industry-
sponsored opt-out program.
An online opt-out registry has been established by the Yellow Pages industry to provide a
convenient way for residents to control the delivery of Yellow Pages directories. Through
www.YellowPagesOptOut.com residents can choose which Yellow Pages directories they
want to receive, or stop delivery altogether. At least 12 weeks are required to process an
opt-out request.
Lake Forest residents could also opt-out of directory delivery by telephone by calling the
following distribution vendors: Dex One, publisher of the AT&T Real Yellow Pages, at (866)
606-9339; Yellowbook at (800) 929-3556; and First Choice Media at (847) 398-1111.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: City staff is recommending that City Council approve a
resolution supporting voluntary Yellow Pages industry efforts to address the unwanted
delivery of directories through their opt-out program.

C. Adoption of the Lake County Multi-Jurisdiction All Natural Hazards Mitigation Plan
On October 30, 2000, the President of the United States signed the Disaster Mitigation
Act of 2000. This Act requires all government entities to have a FEMA approved Disaster
Mitigation Plan to be eligible for Post-Disaster Mitigation Funds.
The Lake County Storm Water Management Agency applied for and received a grant
to develop an All Natural Hazards Disaster Mitigation Plan for Lake County. Over 40
municipalities and other agencies participated in its development and therefore
become eligible to meet the Federal requirements under this plan. The Resolution
beginning on page 25 comes before Council as an update to the existing plan
adopted August 7, 2006.
D. Award of Bid for the Emergency replacement of the Fitness Center HVAC Rooftop
Unit
PRESENTED BY DAN MARTIN, SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC WORKS
PURPOSE AND ACTION REQUESTED: Staff is requesting City Council authorization to ratify
the award of bid for the HVAC Equipment replacement for the Recreation Center to
Martin Peter Company, Inc. The unit was ordered on June 26th. The unit is currently
scheduled for replacement in the C.I.P. Budget for FY17, but due to critical mechanical
failure, staff has requested immediate replacement of the unit. The new unit has a six
week lead-time and will be scheduled for installation upon delivery.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: On Tuesday June 19th one of the two compressors in the 30
ton rooftop unit which provides heating and cooling for the Fitness Center burnt out. The
unit is 14 years old and the industry standard life expectancy is 15 – 20 years for this type
of unit. With the inconsistent power over the years at the Rec Center we have noticed
that most of the mechanical equipment at the building has experienced a shortened
lifespan. This combined with the estimated repair cost of about two thirds the
replacement cost (estimated $20,000+) is why staff is recommending the unit be
replaced. Additional funding is requested to provide temporary cooling for
approximately six weeks until the replacement unit can be delivered and installed. The
current unit is running at half capacity (15 tons of cooling), temporary cooling units are
available in 5 ton increments. Staff installed one 5 ton unit on Friday, June 22, 2012. After
a few days’ time staff determined a second 5 ton unit was necessary. The second unit
was installed on Wednesday, June 27. See temp cooling chart below for rental costs.
BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT: On June 21, 2012, staff received the following bids:
Replacement Roof Top Units:
Company Cost of Unit
Martin Peterson Company, Inc. $34,210.00
Carey’s Heating and Air Conditioning $35,995.00
Westside Mechanical Services, LLC. $43,357.00

Company Cost of Unit
Temp-Air $500.00 / week $1500.00 / month $100 delivery
Spot-Cooler $600.00 / week $2400,00 / month $200 delivery
After a detailed review of the lowest bidders by staff, Martin Peterson’s proposal met all
of the required project specifications and their references gave favorable responses.
The Fiscal Impact is as follows:

RECOMMENDED ACTION: Ratify award of bid to Martin Peterson Company, Inc. in the

addition, staff is requesting an additional $1,090 for contingency to address any
unforeseen problem during the project.

ORDINANCES 8:05 p.m.
1. Consideration of an Ordinance Approving a Zone Change for Lots 22, 23 and 24 of
the Wedgewood Subdivision from OA, Open Area, to R-4, Single Family Residence
District. (First Reading)
PRESENTED BY CATHERINE CZERNIAK,
DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
At the direction of the City Council, on June 13, 2012, the Plan Commission held a public
hearing to consider a request to rezone three City owned properties. The three properties are
located at the southwest corner of the City and were established as buildable lots for single
family residences in 1979 as part of the Wedgewood Subdivision, a planned cluster
development. The homes in this subdivision were generally built out over a 20 year period.
On December 18, 1998, a deed was recorded in the Lake County Recorder’s Office transferring
ownership of the three parcels, Lots 22, 23 and 24 in the Wedgewood Subdivision, from Surety
Enterprises, L.L.C., the developer of the Wedgewood Subdivision, to the City of Lake Forest. At
the request of the developer, the City Council accepted the developer’s offer of donation of
6
July 2, 2012 Agenda
these lots to the City. The donation was formally accepted through a Resolution dated
November 19, 1998. In summary, the Resolution accepts the donation of the lots conditioned
on the rezoning of the lots from R-4, Single Family Residential, to OA, Open Area. The Resolution
states that the lots must be used only for recreational and open space purposes so long as they
are owned by the City. The Resolution further specified that the City could not sell the lots until
either the completion of the sale of the remaining lots by the developer, or the passage of 10
years from the date of the transfer, whichever occurred first. Ten years has passed since the
lots were transferred to the City.
The Plan Commission reviewed the record of this petition and heard testimony in opposition to
the rezoning of the properties from neighbors in the immediate vicinity of the lots. The
Commission, after deliberation, voted 5 to 1 to recommend approval of the rezoning of the lots
to R-4. As part of its action on this matter, the Commission incorporated the following two
recommendations into the motion in support of the rezoning. 1) The Commission noted the
interest expressed by the neighboring residents in maintaining the three lots as vacant
properties to serve as a buffer for the neighborhood. Given that interest, the Plan Commission
recommended that before final approval of the Ordinance rezoning the parcels, additional
good faith discussions should occur between the City and representatives of the Homeowners’
Associations in the area and interested neighboring property owners to pursue all options
related to the disposition of the properties. 2) Prior to any sale or transfer of the parcels, a tree
preservation buffer area should be established on the southern 50-feet of lots 23 and 24 to
preserve existing trees and retain a buffer between the neighborhood and the adjacent
commercial use.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Approve first reading of an Ordinance rezoning Lots 22, 23 and
24 in the Wedgewood Subdivision to R-4, Single Family Residential.

ANHMP Update FAQs 1 June 2012
Molly O’Toole & Assoc., Ltd. (molly@mollyotoole.com)
Lake County All Natural Hazards Mitigation Plan – 2012 Update
Frequently Asked Questions (ANHMP FAQs)
June 2012
1. What is the Lake County All Natural Hazards Mitigation Plan?
The Lake County All Natural Hazards Mitigation Plan (ANHMP) is a plan that addresses natural hazards
that may impact Lake County, such as floods, severe summer storms, winter storms and tornadoes, and
identifies activities that can be undertaken by both the public and the private sectors to reduce safety
hazards, health hazards, and property damage caused by natural hazards. While the ANHMP was
developed countywide, it is considered to be a “multi-jurisdictional plan.”
2. Why was the ANHMP developed?
Having an adopted mitigation plan allows Lake County and participating Lake County municipalities to be
eligible for mitigation grant funds from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). The
ANHMP was developed to fulfill the federal mitigation planning requirements of Section 104 of the
Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 and the Stafford Act for funding under the FEMA Hazard Mitigation
Assistance (HMA) grant programs. The ANHMP is also eligible for credit for communities that participate
in FEMA’s Community Rating System (CRS) under the National Flood Insurance Program.
3. Who developed the ANHMP?
The ANHMP was developed through a mitigation planning committee that included Lake County,
participating Lake County municipalities and other stakeholders, and through the assistance of a planning
consultant. The mitigation planning committee (now called the Local Planning Committee or LPC) was
established as a permanent advisory body to Lake County in 2006 and has been meeting annually.
4. Why update the ANHMP?
FEMA requires hazard mitigation plans to be updated and re-adopted every five (5) years.
5. What was the update “process”?
Our update process included four meetings of the LPC to review the ANHMP’s goals and action items,
and the draft updated plan. We also requested information from municipalities regarding mitigation
activities of the past five years. A draft of the updated ANHMP was made available for public review and
a public hearing/meeting was held on September 22, 2011. Public comments were collected and IEMA
and FEMA have reviewed and approved the plan. The County and participating municipalities must adopt
the updated ANHMP. The final plan is available at:
http://www.lakecountyil.gov/Stormwater/FloodInformation/FloodHazardMitigation/Pages/ANHMP.aspx.
A meeting to develop Annex 1 to the ANHMP was also held in May 2012 to include additional Lake
County municipalities.
28
ANHMP Update FAQs 2 June 2012
Molly O’Toole & Assoc., Ltd. (molly@mollyotoole.com)
6. The ANHMP is considered multi-jurisdictional. Is this the same as “countywide”?
No, the ANHMP is not a countywide plan like the Lake County Stormwater Management Plan. FEMA
allows for the multi-jurisdictional development of hazard mitigation plans. Each government agency must
adopt and implement the ANHMP for its own purposes. The County Board adoption of the ANHMP is for
unincorporated areas of the County. Each municipality must adopt the ANHMP for themselves.
7. How do we adopt the ANHMP?
By resolution. Communities have been provided with a sample adoption resolution and instructions on
where to send a copy of the resolution for IEMA and FEMA’s records.
8. If we don’t adopt the 2012 ANHMP will our community is eligible for IEMA/FEMA disaster
assistance following a disaster declaration for Lake County?
Yes. This ANHMP is for the mitigation grant purposes. It is not tied to disaster assistance. Recognize
that often mitigation projects come to light following a disaster. It is prudent to have an adopted mitigation
plan.
9. Who will implement the Mitigation Plan?
Each municipality, agency and institution that adopts the Mitigation Plan will implement the Mitigation
Plan, according to the resolution passed, and as resources (staff time and funding) become available.
Ideally, there will be some joint efforts, through the Mitigation Committee, with the County, municipalities
and townships to implement mitigation actions. An example of a joint effort may be the development of
common public information materials.
10. What are the types of mitigation grants available?
Planning grants and project grants. Examples of mitigation planning grants would be for the study of
repetitive flood loss areas, or the evaluation of critical facilities to determine if they are disaster resistant.
Examples of mitigation project grants would be for floodplain property acquisitions, or construction of a
tornado shelter at a senior care facility. All plans and projects are funded 75% by FEMA and 25% by the
community or agency.
11. How do we apply for a mitigation grant?
Mitigation grants are applied for through the IEMA. An online “eGrant” application is used. Communities
can contact Ron Davis, the State Hazard Mitigation Officer at IEMA, at 217-782-8719
(ron.davis@illinois.gov) for more information.
12. What is the FEMA web site for hazard mitigation grants programs?
For more information about FEMA mitigation grant programs, or HMA, visit:
http://www.fema.gov/government/grant/hma/index.shtm
Also, visit IEMA’s web site at:
http://www.state.il.us/iema/planning/planning.htm
13. How can I learn more about the Community Rating System (CRS)?
Information on the CRS can be found at FEMA’s web site:
http://www.fema.gov/business/nfip/crs.shtm
14. Who do we contact about the ANHMP update?
Feel free to contact Susan Vancil of the SMC at svancil@lakecountyil.gov or 847-377-7714.

ORDINANCES
1. Consideration of an Ordinance Granting a Special Use Permit Approving the Northwestern Lake Forest Hospital
Campus Master Plan and Establishing Conditions of Approval. (First Reading)
-
In September, 2011, the Plan Commission began consideration of a request from Northwestern Lake Forest Hospital for approval of
a new campus Master Plan with an informational presentation from hospital representatives. In December, 2011, the Plan
Commission opened its public hearing on this matter and continued deliberations over the course of four public meetings. The
Master Plan presents a phased plan for revitalizing the hospital campus. A replacement hospital, a new medical office building,
parking facilities, road improvements and the establishment of landscaped buffers at the perimeter of the campus are all included in
the first phase of the project. The mid-term phase of the Master Plan anticipates reuse of the existing hospital facilities for education
and research purposes after the replacement hospital is operational. The future phase of the project projects possible long term
needs on the campus.
The Plan Commission received a significant amount of written and verbal testimony, some in support of the proposed project and
some raising concerns about the scope and potential impacts of the project. In response to concerns raised, the Plan Commission
discussed many aspects of the project but in particular, spent considerable time vetting and providing direction to the hospital
project team and City staff on the following key issues: traffic and the details and timing of road improvements, uses permitted on
the campus, building setback and open space buffer areas and building heights.
After reviewing the revised Master Plan presented by the hospital at the May Plan Commission meeting, the Commission
commended the hospital project team for the significant modifications and clarifications made to the plan in response to comments
from the Commission and the public. The Commission recognized that this Master Plan does not answer every question that was
raised or provide detailed plans, but concluded that the Master Plan does what it is intended to do; it establishes a strong framework
for future decisions as detailed plans for the campus are developed.
After its 8-month consideration of the Master Plan, on May 22, 2012, the Plan Commission voted 6 – 0 to recommend to the City
Council that a Special Use Permit be granted approving the Northwestern Lake Forest Master Plan subject to extensive conditions
of approval. The Commission recommended 25 conditions of approval which, along with some general and standard conditions for
Special Use Permits, are detailed in the Ordinance which will be provided to the City Council under separate cover. Of particular
note is condition #1 which suggests calls the establishment of an Advisory Committee by the City Manager to consult with the
hospital project team and City staff during the design development process. The review process recommended going forward
provides for continued involvement of the Plan Commission and City Council in the role of verifying that the plans for the various
aspects of the project are consistent with the Master Plan and conditions of approval.
Recommended Action: Grant first reading of an Ordinance approving a Special Use Permit and the Northwestern Lake
Forest Hospital Campus Master Plan subject to conditions of approval as detailed in the Ordinance.
Alderman Palmer moved, seconded by Alderman Novit to grant first reading of an Ordinance approving a Special Use Permit and
the Northwestern Lake Forest Hospital Campus Master Plan subject to conditions of approval as detailed in the Ordinance. Motion
carried unanimously by voice vote.
31
Proceedings of the June 18, 2012
Regular City Council Meeting
Several Council members addressed concerns and made comments regarding the project. Areas of concern to note are traffic, cost
obligations, water, and preservation. Council members who spoke were all positive with the project.
Tom Macafee, President of Northwestern Lake Forest Hospital stood before Council and thanked the City for all their hard work and
support. He thanked Cathy Czerniak for a solid plan and the commitment to open environment.
John Sentell, 545 Circle Lane stood before Council on behalf of Openlands to show support of the project.
Bob Pasquesi stood before Council to express his opinions on the hospital project.
ADJOURNMENT
There being no further business, Alderman Palmer moved, seconded by Alderman Novit to adjourn the meeting at 9:17 p.m. The
motion carried unanimously by voice vote.
