FINANCE COMMITTEE
1. Consideration of the Annual Appropriation Ordinance for FY2023 and Approval of
Rollovers (First Reading)
PRESENTED BY: Diane Hall, Assistant Finance Director (847) 810-3614
1
Tuesday, June 21, 2022, City Council Agenda
PURPOSE AND ACTION REQUESTED: Staff requests approving the first reading of the FY2023
appropriation ordinance and 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 expenditures. State
statutes require the passage of an Appropriation Ordinance by the end of July, which
must be filed with the County Clerk within 30 days of approval.
There are some differences between the budget and Appropriation Ordinance. The
Appropriation Ordinance includes the Library, which was not included in the budget
approved at the April 18, 2022 City Council meeting. The Library expenses are approved
by the Library Board. Debt service payments are included in the budget, but are
excluded from the Appropriation Ordinance. The ordinances approving the bond issues
serve as the legal authorization for these annual expenditures.
The Appropriation Ordinance provides for a 10% “contingency” above the budgeted
expenditures. Each separate fund includes an item labeled “contingency” with an
appropriate sum equivalent to 10% of the total funds budgeted. This practice has been
followed for many years and has worked very efficiently, while still providing for City
Council control over budgeted expenditures. It is important to note that the City Council
and City staff follow 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 throughout the year.
In order to provide more accurate and efficient accounting and budgeting of City funds,
an annual rollover of funds is requested. This eliminates both under and over budgeting
of funds in the new fiscal year. The items on the attached rollover list (page 15) consist
of projects that were appropriated in FY2022 and will not be completed until FY2023. The
list is preliminary at this stage as FY2022 invoices are still being paid, but will be finalized
for final reading in July. The appropriation ordinance presented for first reading excludes
the rollover amounts.
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 the City’s Appropriation Ordinance. School District 67
numbers are estimates and subject to change, but are not available until second and
final reading of the Ordinance.
Exhibit A of the Appropriations Ordinance is included to address requirements of the
Illinois Pension Code and Illinois Administrative Code.

STAFF CONTACT: Elizabeth Holleb, Finance Director (847-810-3612)
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: City Code Section 38.02 sets forth payment procedures of the
City. The Director of Finance is to prepare a monthly summary of all warrants to be drawn on
the City treasury for the payment of all sums due from the City (including all warrants relating
to payroll and invoice payments) by fund and shall prepare a detailed list of invoice payments
which denotes the person to whom the warrant is payable. The warrant list detail of invoice
payments shall be presented for review to the Chairperson of the City Council Finance
Committee for review and recommendation. All items on the warrant list detail
recommended for payment by the Finance Committee Chairperson shall be presented in
summary form to the City Council for approval or ratification. Any member of the City Council
shall, upon request to the City Manager or Director of Finance, receive a copy of the warrant
list detail as recommended by the Finance Committee Chairperson. The City Council may

3. Approval of an Agreement Authorizing Membership in the NORTAF Burglary Task
Force
STAFF CONTACT: Karl Walldorf, Chief of Police (847.810.3803)
PURPOSE AND ACTION REQUESTED: Staff requests City Council to consider a resolution
authorizing membership in the North Regional Major Crime Task Force. A copy of the
agreement can be found beginning on page 33.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: The North Regional Major Crimes Task Force (NORTAF) was
formed in 1997 by twelve north shore communities to serve as a specialized unit to investigate
major crimes, including homicides and non-parental kidnappings. Since then, NORTAF has
added two additional teams to its portfolio, the Major Crash Assistance Team and the Burglary
Task Force.
The NORTAF Burglary Task Force allows members to jointly investigate burglaries across all of its
members' jurisdictions, sharing intelligence, evidence, staffing, and expertise. In addition, the
task force looks for burglary patterns affecting member communities that may involve the
same individuals or groups and develops collective strategies for arresting those offenders.
Several of our peer agencies in Lake County have significantly benefited from joining the
Burglary Task Force since 2020, including Highland Park and Deerfield. In addition, our
detectives have worked informally with the task force in recent years, including sharing
intelligence about the arrest of a Lake Forest burglary suspect in 2021.

4. Acknowledgement of Termination of the 3-year bid Awarded to First Student and
Approval of Award a One-Year Contract to First Student for Recreation Department
Program and CROYA Bussing Services
STAFF CONTACT: Anthony Anaszewicz, Athletics Program Manager (847-810-3945)
PURPOSE AND ACTION REQUESTED: Staff requests to terminate the 3-year bid awarded by City
Council to First Student on April 4, 2022 and then award a one-year contract for Recreation
Department programming and CROYA bussing services in FY23 to First Student.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: On April 4, 2022, City Council awarded a 3-year term of services
to First Student for Recreation Department programing and CROYA bussing services. Due to
unforeseen circumstances regarding staffing and fuel costs, First Student can no longer honor
the pricing set forth in their initial 3-year bid.
Staff recommends terminating the 3-year bid awarded to First Student and then award First
Student a 1-year contract for services in FY23. Proposed costs will be higher than originally
anticipated but will still be well below the bid received from Positive Connection. Camp
programming relies on bus services to help provide a robust camp experience for the
community. Approval of the new pricing is essential as our camp season begins June 20th,
2022. In February of 2023, staff will go back to bid for a three year contract for Recreation
programming and CROYA services.
Below is a chart representing original and estimated costs, along with price submitted by
Positive Connection as part of the bid process in February of 2022.

BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT: Funding for camp bussing is a Parks & Recreation Department
program expense and is budgeted in the programs annual operating budget. The proposed
overages will be covered by reducing other program expenses. Funding for CROYA also
comes out of their annual operating budget. Pricing received is based on estimated usage
and could fluctuate based on actual program enrollment.

5. Consideration of a Recommendation from Staff to Authorize the City Manager to
Enter into a Professional Services Contract with Teska Associates, Inc. for Continued
Support for the Comprehensive Plan Update in an amount not to exceed $45,000.
Staff Contact: Catherine J. Czerniak,
Director of Community Development (810-3504)
PURPOSE AND ACTION REQUESTED: Council authorization is requested to allow staff to enter
into a contract with Teska Associates, Inc. related to the next phase of the update of the City’s
Comprehensive Land Use Plan.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: Funding for professional services to support the Comprehensive
Plan update was approved as part of the Community Development Department budget.
Teska Associates, Inc. was previously engaged to provide support for the second phase of the
Comprehensive Plan update which focused on the Route 60 Corridor. That work is now
complete. The Comprehensive Plan update was paused during the pandemic due to the
limited opportunities to engage the public in discussions and workshops face to face. The
support offered by Teska Associates, Inc. in the past, in the areas of research, conducting
interviews and focus groups, leading sessions and walking tours of the Working Group,
summarizing public input and presenting key ideas to the Working Group, preparing graphics,
drafting language, and advising staff has proven to be valuable in moving the update
process forward. This same support will be provided by Teska Associates, Inc. for the next
phase of the update which will focus on the Central Business District and surrounding areas.
The draft update to the Comprehensive Plan as it relates to the Central Business District is
expected to be forwarded to the Plan Commission for formal review and a public hearing in
September/October 2022 after the City Manager’s Working Group completes its work. A
continuation of Teska’s professional services contract is requested to build upon the
momentum established to date and to provide continuity as the update moves forward.
BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT: Continuing to engage Teska Associates, Inc. takes advantage of a
long term relationship and the consultant’s familiarity with Lake Forest overall and specifically,
the Central Business District, development trends, challenges and opportunities in the City. The
contract now before the City Council continues the phased approach to the Comprehensive
Plan update allowing the process to evolve as necessary to respond to input received along
the way and opportunities that arise.

6. Consideration of a request to Waive Permit Fees for the Roof Replacement at the
City’s Public Safety Building Located at 255 W. Deerpath. (Approval by Motion)
STAFF CONTACT: Catherine Czerniak
Director of Community Development (810-3504)
PURPOSE AND ACTION REQUESTED: A waiver of permit fees is requested for a City building
consistent with past practices.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: The City routinely waives permit fees for construction projects on
City owned property. A permit was recently applied for to replace the roof on the City’s
Public Safety Building. The permit fee totals $5,786.36.
Per Administrative Directive 3-7, the waiver of fees in excess of $5,000 require approval by the
City Council.
BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT: The budget impact is neutral. The permit fees, if assessed, would be
paid out of one City fund and deposited into another City fund.

7. Consideration of an Ordinance Approving a Recommendation from the Building
Review Board. (First Reading, and if Desired by the City Council, Final Approval)
STAFF CONTACT: Catherine Czerniak,
Director of Community Development (810-3504)
PURPOSE AND ACTION REQUESTED: The following recommendation from the Building Review Board is
presented to the City Council for consideration as part of the Omnibus Agenda.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: 745 Broadsmoore Drive – The Building Review Board recommended
approval of a new single family residence on a vacant lot in the Whitehall Meadows Subdivision. No
public testimony was presented to the Board on this petition. (Board vote: 5 - 1, approved)

Tuesday, June 21, 2022, City Council Agenda
The Ordinance approving the petition as recommended by the Building Review Board, with key
exhibits attached, is included in the Council packet beginning on page 40. The Ordinance,
complete with all exhibits, is available for review in the Community Development Department.
COUNCIL ACTION: If determined to be appropriate by the City Council, waive first reading
and grant final approval of the Ordinance approving the petition in accordance with the
Building Review Board’s recommendation.
8. Consideration of a Recommendation from the Zoning Board of Appeals in Support of
Amendments to the Special Use Permit for Elawa Farm at 1401 Middlefork Drive.
(First Reading of an Ordinance and, if Desired by the City Council, Final Approval)
STAFF CONTACT: Catherine Czerniak,
Director of Community Development (810-3504)
PURPOSE AND ACTION REQUESTED: The Council is asked to consider a recommendation from
the Zoning Board of Appeals in support of minor amendments to the Special Use Permit under
which Elawa Farm operates. The amendment was requested by the Elawa Farm Foundation
primarily to allow improvements to limited areas of the garden to increase accessibility for
those with limited mobility who attend classes, programs and camps at Elawa.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
Elawa Farm, a community facility, operates under a Special Use Permit because it is a non-
residential use located on residentially zoned property. The Elawa Farm Foundation’s plans to
create an “Enabling Garden” in one section of the Elawa Farm Garden triggered this request.
The planned improvements are intended to facilitate access to garden based experiences
and education for people with limited mobility and include improved pathways, raised
garden beds and a small pergola to provide shade. The proposed improvements are
detailed on the site plan attached to the Ordinance which is included in the Council packet
beginning on page 51. Two additional amendments to the Special Use Permit, both of which
have been under discussion for some time, also received support from the Zoning Board of
Appeals.
1) Permit the chicken coop in the southern portion of the Garden as an ongoing use.
(Currently, the chicken coop is authorized only as a temporary, pilot program.
2) Refine the language relating to amplified sound for events wholly within the Hay
Barn.
Zoning Board of Appeals’ Review
The Board conducted a public hearing on this petition at the May 9, 2022, meeting. The Board
heard a presentation from Laura Calvert, Executive Director of the Elawa Farm Foundation
and heard public testimony. The Board determined that the proposed minor amendments
furthered the mission of Elawa Farm and will not directly contribute to increased use of the
Farm, but instead, will enhance the experience for those participating in programs, classes
and camps already established at the site. The Board stated appreciation for the
Foundation’s movement away from large, private rental events to community based
educational programs and activities.
8
Tuesday, June 21, 2022, City Council Agenda
The Board heard testimony in support of the proposed amendments and also heard some
concerns about the overall level of activity in the area resulting from the combination of the
various users of Elawa Farm, the adjacent Forest Preserve, the City park, and the residential
neighborhood. The Board concluded that the amendments requested as carefully crafted,
will not result in an increase to the overall level of activity in the area and on May 23, 2022,
voted 5 to 0 to recommend approval of the petition to the City Council.
The Zoning Board of Appeals’ report is included in the Council packet beginning on page 63
to provide additional background and detail on the Board’s deliberations.
COUNCIL ACTION:
If desired by the Council, waive first reading and grant final approval of an Ordinance
amending the Special Use Permit for Elawa Farm at 1401 Middlefork Drive as recommended
by the Zoning Board of Appeals and as detailed in the Ordinance
COUNCIL ACTION: Approval of the eight (8) omnibus items as presented.

(First reading and if appropriate final approval)
Consideration of an Amendment to the City Code, Section 111.037, Number of
Liquor Licenses, as it Pertains to Class C-1 and Class C-3 Licenses. (First reading and
if appropriate final approval)
A Recommendation from the Plan Commission to Direct the Commission to review,
and if appropriate recommend amendments to the Zoning Code as it relates to
outdoor speakers and amplified sound outside restaurants. (Motion)
PRESENTED BY:
Catherine Czerniak, Director of Community Development (810-3504)
Margaret Boyer, City Clerk (810-3674)
PURPOSE AND ACTION REQUESTED: Council consideration is requested of various approvals
necessary to allow Sophia Steak to locate and operate in space formerly occupied by other
restaurants.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
Special Use Permit
Ballyhoo Hospitality proposes to open Sophia Steak Lake Forest in an existing multi-tenant
commercial building located on the southwest corner of Western and Laurel Avenues.
9
Tuesday, June 21, 2022, City Council Agenda
Ballyhoo is an experienced restauranteur with proven success in operating unique
neighborhood oriented restaurants in several Chicago neighborhoods, and in another North
Shore community. As noted above, the proposed site for the new Lake Forest location was
previously occupied by The Grille on Laurel and later, by MLG. The building offers a patio
fronting on Western Avenue, across from the railroad tracks, and is located steps away from
the recently completed apartments, condominiums and single family homes in Kelmscott Park
as well as other well established residential developments.
The City Code classifies restaurants located within 150’ of residential zoning districts as special
uses and therefore, a public hearing on this matter was conducted by the Plan Commission.
Restaurants located further away from residential properties are permitted outright, no public
review process is required.
Public testimony was presented to the Commission on this petition by residents of the Regents
Row, a rowhouse development located to the south of the commercial building in which the
new restaurant hopes to open. The residents expressed support for the restaurant overall, but
voices concern about the potential for negative impacts. The primary concerns focused on
the hours of operation of the patio, the potential for outdoor speakers, unauthorized parking
on Regents Row property, and cooking odors. The Commission addressed the parking through
a condition included in the recommendation. The Commission discussed, but decided not to
recommend limiting the hours during which the patio could be used after hearing an appeal
for flexibility from representatives of Sophia Steak who explained that they would like to be
able to welcome customers who may want to dine later on one of the limited summer
evenings that draw people outside. The Commission noted that the City Code currently
prohibits outdoor speakers.
After deliberation, the Commission voted 5 to 1 to recommend approval of a Special Use
Permit to authorize Sophia Steak Lake Forest to the City Council subject to conditions as
detailed in the Ordinance included in the Council’s packet beginning on page 69. The Plan
Commission’s report is also included in the Council packet beginning on page 80, for
additional information.
Liquor License
The Liquor Commissioner has received a request from Sophia Steak Lake Forest for a C-1 liquor
license (general restaurant liquor license) and an add-on C-3 liquor license to allow outdoor
service.
As the Council is aware, the issuance of liquor licenses is under the purview of the City’s Liquor
Commissioner and the Mayor serves in that role. However, the City Code only authorizes a
specific number of liquor licenses and, historically, this number coincides with the current
number of licenses issued.
When new requests for liquor licenses are submitted, and after review by the Liquor
Commissioner and a determination that the Issuance of a license is appropriate, the matter is
brought to the City Council for consideration of an amendment to the Liquor Code to increase
the number of available licenses. In this case, the number of C-1 and C-3 liquor licenses will
10
Tuesday, June 21, 2022, City Council Agenda
each be increased by one to accommodate Sophia Steak Lake Forest’s request. The proposed
ordinance increasing the number of Class C-1 and C-3 liquor licenses can be found beginning
on page 84.
BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT: The fiscal impact of adding licenses in the C-1 and C-3 categories is
positive generating both liquor license revenues and sales tax.
Plan Commission Recommendation to Authorize Review of Code Provision
As noted above, during the discussion of the request from Sophia Steak Lake Forest for a
Special Use Permit it was discussed that currently, the Performance Standards in the Zoning
Code for restaurants states, “No loud speakers or amplification of sound is permitted outside
the building.”
The Commission heard a request from the Sophia Steak representatives that low volume
background music is common on patios at many other restaurants. As a follow up, the
Commission forwarded a recommendation to the City Council that the complete prohibition
in the Code be reconsidered. This work would be conducted by the Plan Commission in
collaboration with staff if so directed by the Council. This limited study would likely include
surveying regulations in other communities, talking with local businesses and, any
consideration of a Code amendment, will include a public hearing before the Plan
Commission before a recommendation to amend or not amend is forwarded to the City
Council.
COUNCIL ACTION:
If determined to be appropriate by the City Council, waive first reading and grant final
approval of an Ordinance approving a Special Use Permit for Sophia Steak at 181 E. Laurel
Avenue in accordance with the Plan Commission’s recommendation.
AND
If determined to be appropriate by the City Council, waive first reading and grant final
approval of an Ordinance approving an amendment to Section 111.037, Number of Liquor
Licenses, as it Pertains to Class C-1 and Class C-3 Licenses.
AND
Direct the Plan Commission to review, evaluate and if determined to be appropriate, conduct
a public hearing on a possible amendment to the Zoning Code as it relates to outdoor
speakers and amplified sound outside restaurants. The Commission is directed to forward a
recommendation to the City Council at the conclusion of the consideration.
