3. Consideration of a Request to Waive the Fidelity Bond Requirement in Connection

by Motion)
STAFF CONTACT: Margaret Boyer, City Clerk (847.810.3674)
PURPOSE AND ACTION REQUESTED: Staff requests City Council consideration of waiving the
fidelity bond requirement in connection with a proposed raffle from the CROYA Foundation.
BACKGROUND: In January 2020 the City Council approved an Ordinance Amending Chapter
110, titled “Licenses and Miscellaneous” related to Raffles, to align these sections with recent
State of Illinois Legislation. Section 110.0149, J, allows the raffle manager designated by the
organization to seek a waiver of the bond requirement from the City Council.
At this time the CROYA Foundation is requesting a waiver of the bond requirement and has
submitted a request. A copy of the requests can be found beginning on page 31.

4. Consideration of an Ordinance Amending the City of Lake Forest City Code
Regarding the Class C-1 and C-3 Liquor Licenses (First reading and if appropriate
final approval)
STAFF CONTACT: Margaret Boyer, City Clerk, 847-810-3674
PURPOSE AND ACTION REQUESTED: At the direction of the City’s Liquor Commissioner, Staff is
requesting consideration of an Ordinance amending the City’s Liquor Code to increase the
number of liquor licenses in the C-1 and C-3 license categories.
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION: The Liquor Commissioner has received a request from the
Lantern of Lake Forest, Inc., located at 768 N. Western Avenue to re-issue the restaurant’s liquor
licenses. The owner, Edward Neville has requested a C-1 liquor license (general restaurant liquor
license) and an add-on C-3 liquor license that will allow outdoor service. The former owner and
liquor license holder of the Lantern unfortunately passed away. Under the City Code, liquor
licenses are a personal privilege that may not be transferred and terminate upon the death of
the licensee holder. Upon the termination of a liquor license, the City Code provides that the
number of available liquor licenses is automatically reduced by one without any further action
of the City Council. Thus, the number of available C-1 and C-3 liquor licenses was automatically
reduced upon the termination of the Lantern’s liquor licenses. Accordingly, the Lantern has
applied for new C-1 and C-3 liquor license, but the City Council must first amend the City Code
to increase the maximum number of such licenses.
As the Council is aware, the issuance of liquor licenses is under the purview of the City’s Liquor
Commissioner and the Mayor serves in that role. However, the City Code only authorizes a
specific number of liquor licenses and, historically, this number coincides with the current
number of licenses issued.
When new requests for liquor licenses are submitted, and after review by the Liquor
Commissioner and a determination that the Issuance of a license is appropriate, the City
Council is asked to consider an amendment to the Liquor Code to increase the number of
available licenses. In this case, the number of C-1 and C-3 liquor licenses will increase by one.
The proposed ordinance showing the number of Class C-1 and C-3 liquor licenses can be found
beginning on page 32.
BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT: The fiscal impact of adding additional licenses in the C-1 and C-3
categories would have a positive impact on liquor license revenues.
COUNCIL ACTION: Consideration of an Ordinance Amending the City of Lake Forest City Code
to increase the number of Licenses available in the Class C-1 and C-3 liquor license categories
(First reading and if appropriate final approval).
5. Approval of a Change Order Increasing the Cost of Printing and Mailing the City
Dialogue Newsletter for Fiscal Year 22-23 from $41,980 to $45,071
STAFF CONTACT: George Issakoo, Assistant City Manager (847-810-3680)
PURPOSE AND ACTION REQUESTED: City Council previously approved a contract award to Lake
County Press, Inc., in the Amount of $40,180 and a 4.5% contingency in the amount of $1,800,
4
Tuesday, January 17, 2023, City Council Agenda
for a grand total of $41,980 for the mailing and printing of the Dialogue Newsletter. Due to
unforeseen cost increases in labor and materials, the existing budget will not cover the
expense of printing and mailing the final newsletter of the fiscal year.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: The City of Lake Forest regularly contracts with outside service
providers to perform professional printing services for various projects including the quarterly
Dialogue Newsletter, Recreation Seasonal Brochure, and the Dickinson Hall News Brief, which
are produced and delivered throughout the community.
The Dialogue Newsletter is print publication that is produced quarterly and includes a winter,
spring, summer and fall edition. The newsletter is printed and delivered to every home, office,
business, and post office box within the corporate limits of Lake Forest. Approximately 8,900
newsletters are distributed each quarter and available to view online.
BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT: This past spring, the City Council awarded a contract to Lake County
Press, Inc. in the amount of $41,980 for professional printing and mailing services for the City
Dialogue Community-Wide Newsletter. Lake County Press provided services for three Dialogue
Newsletters in 2022 at the budgeted amount, however, labor and material cost increases
forced the increase of the total cost to print and mail the final newsletter of this fiscal year. As
a result, the existing budget amount will not cover the $12,965 required to print and mail the
newsletter. A change order to the April 2022 approval in the amount of $3,091 is required to
provide sufficient funding, increasing the Lake County Press purchase order to $45,071.

6. Approval for the Purchase of a Zoll X Series Cardiac Monitor. And an Extended
Warranty for a 2020 Cardiac Monitor, in an amount not to exceed $53,392.23.
STAFF CONTACT: Pete Siebert Chief (810-3864)
PURPOSE AND ACTION REQUESTED: Staff is requesting City Council’s approval to purchase this
equipment to replace a current Zoll monitor that has reached the end of its useful service life.
Staff also request approval to purchase an extended warranty for a 2020 monitor that the
department currently owns.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: As an organization, the Lake Forest Fire Department strives to
provide our personnel with the proper equipment to treat and care for our citizens and guests,
to our community, when a medical emergency happens. We go to great lengths and
expense in training and equipping our firefighter/paramedics with the proper equipment
capable of mitigating almost any hazardous situation, newer released technology and
5
Tuesday, January 17, 2023, City Council Agenda
innovations made to cardiac monitors would allow our personnel to better serve our
community. These new monitors have the ability to transmit the acquired 12-lead findings
directly to the cardiac facility where they can be reviewed by an emergency room physician
and cardiologist. A new tool that has been providing prodigious results in the field of
prehospital care is that of end-tidal carbon dioxide (EtCO2) monitoring. Our community
provides EMS care to residents that have pulmonary illnesses that require maintenance
medications and constant monitoring. When one of these patients suffers a pulmonary event,
our paramedics will be able to use this technology to provide the most effective care based
on the findings. Carbon Monoxide poisoning claims the lives of nearly 3,800 Americans each
year. The new cardiac monitors are equipped with the ability to determine these levels in our
patients, including our firefighters upon exiting a structure fire. The new cardiac monitor comes
with a four-year extended warranty plan that will help defer maintenance expenses and keep
the monitor up to date with the latest updates and equipment. Zoll has also quoted us on an
extended warranty for a monitor we purchased in 2020. The warranty package being offered
will help reduce costs in the service and upkeep of the monitor, ultimately extending the useful
service life of the monitor.
BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT: The funds for this purchase were approved as discretionary funds
granted in the general fund to the Fire Department operating budget in FY23 budget. The fire
department has submitted multiple grant requests to try and fund purchases of cardiac
monitors, but we have been denied all requests.
Has competitive pricing been obtained for proposed goods/services? No
If no, indicate the specific exception requested:
Administrative Directive 3-5, Section 6.1B – Sole Source Vendor – All of our ambulances are
equipped with Zoll monitors. Our Paramedics are all trained exclusively to operate the Zoll
monitors. We have a great relationship with our assigned Zoll area representative and look to
continue working with Zoll.

7. Ratification of an Emergency Purchase of a Police Marked Vehicle Approved by the
City Manager, to Currie Ford of Valparaiso, Indiana in the Amount of $44,975
STAFF CONTACT: Dan Martin, Superintendent of Public Works (810-3561)
PURPOSE AND ACTION REQUESTED: Staff is requesting City Council ratify an emergency
purchase of a marked police vehicle that was approved by the City Manager on December
19, 2022. The purchase is from Currie Ford of Valparaiso, IN., in the amount of $44,975.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: On October 23, 2022, police car # 5 (2020 Ford police
Interceptor) was involved in an accident. The City’s police car was traveling southbound on
Green Bay Road responding to a call on Onwentsia Road and was struck in the intersection at
Green Bay and Deerpath Roads by someone driving westbound on Deerpath. No one was
severely injured and the City’s police car was towed to the body shop. The City’s insurance
carrier (IRMA hereafter) visited the body shop and after a thorough evaluation, determined
the vehicle to be “totaled” and will reimburse the City the sum of $30,025. The totaled 2020
Ford Police Interceptor had accrued approximately 40,200 miles.
Once staff learned IRMA had declared the vehicle a total loss, Deputy Police Chief Copeland
began searching for a replacement police vehicle and discovered Currie Ford in Valparaiso,
Indiana had a unit on their lot. Due to the extremely high demand for police cars, Currie Ford
would not be able to hold the vehicle until the City’s next Council Meeting on January 17,
2023. Recognizing not only the Department’s need to have a sufficient fleet for their daily
operations, but with a lengthy six-to-eight-month delivery time for a model year 2023 vehicle,
staff requested approval from the City Manager for an emergency purchase of the 2022 Ford
Interceptor. The purchase was granted with the understanding that staff would request the
purchase be ratified at this evening’s City Council meeting.

rough mower will be used to service the new retention ponds and adjacent areas as well as
the support existing cutting operations to help alleviate complaints about course conditions. In
addition, the mower will provide operational efficiencies during fall leaf mulching season.

10. Approval of the Purchase of Replacement Computers for all City Departments, Not
to Exceed the Amount of $104,441
STAFF CONTACT: Joseph Gabanski, Assistant IT Director (847-810-3591)
PURPOSE AND ACTION REQUESTED: Staff requests approval to purchase 98 computers based
on a 4-year replacement cycle which include workstations, laptops, and ruggedized
computers. Previous fiscal years replacement cycle has been 5 years, however, to keep pace
with increased demand in computer processing and to reduce productivity issues due to
computer failure, IT is escalating the cycle by one year for the current fiscal year. Staff will be
evaluating the benefit of the escalation to ensure increased end-user satisfaction and
reduction in helpdesk requests, shifting some IT desktop support from reactive to proactive.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: The City has 52 desktop computers, 34 laptops with docking
stations, 8 rugged laptops, 3 rugged tablets, and one hybrid laptop recommended for
replacement in FY23. The oldest computer of this proposed replacement is 8 years old, with
the average being 5 years old. All desktops and laptops are considered end of life (EOL) as
they no longer have a warranty and are demonstrating reduced performance resulting in loss
of productivity. The City’s current inventory of computers consists of 119 desktops, 97 laptops,
35 Hybrid Laptops, 4 rugged Laptops and 33 rugged tablets.

12. Consideration of the First Amendment to the Purchase, Sale, and Development
Agreement Relating to Phase III of the McKinley Development. (Motion)
STAFF CONTACT: Kurt Asprooth, City Attorney
PURPOSE AND ACTION REQUESTED: Approval of the First Amendment to the Purchase, Sale, and
Development Agreement (“PSA”) with 361 Westminster LLC and 705 McKinley Development LLC
(“Developers”) relating to Phase III of the McKinley development is requested to implement the
required amendments previously agreed to by the City Council in the Settlement Agreement
with the Developers.
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION: On October 17, 2022, the City Council approved a Settlement
Agreement between the City and the Developers that provided a process to resolve the prior
litigation over the development of Phase III of the McKinley Development. The Settlement
Agreement requires several amendments to the PSA in the event the Developers’ revised plans
for Phase III of the McKinley development are fully approved by the City and the lawsuit is
dismissed by the Developers. On December 5, 2022, the City Council approved the Developers’
revised plans for Phase III, thereby triggering the obligations in the Settlement Agreement to
amend the PSA.
The proposed First Amendment to the PSA revises the PSA in accordance with requirements of
the Settlement Agreement. Key aspects of the Amendment include the following:
A reduction in the purchase price of the City Property from $500,000 to $250,000.
A $72,000 payment by the Developer to the City to satisfy affordable housing
requirements.
12
Tuesday, January 17, 2023, City Council Agenda
Removal of the provisions requiring the Developer to improve and convey a parking area
to the Library.
A requirement that the Developer bury the utility lines in the adjacent alley, with the City
reimbursing the Developer for its costs up to a maximum of $250,000.
Now that the revised plans for Phase III have been approved and the lawsuit has been dismissed
(which happened on December 20, 2022), the Settlement Agreement obligates the approval
of the Amendments to the PSA consistent with the revised plans for Phase III and the terms of
the Settlement Agreement. The proposed First Amendment be found beginning on page 36.
COUNCIL ACTION: Approval of the First Amendment to the Purchase, Sale, and Development
Agreement Relating to Phase III of the McKinley Development

Presented by: Catherine Czerniak, Director of Community Development
(810-3504)
PURPOSE AND ACTION REQUESTED
The Council is asked to consider various actions in support of the development of twelve
Senior Cottages in partnership with Community Partners for Affordable Housing, the Lake Forest
– Lake Bluff Senior Citizens’ Foundation, and others. Council action as detailed below, will
allow CPAH to formally secure the funding from outside sources and move the project forward
to groundbreaking later this year.
14
Tuesday, January 17, 2023, City Council Agenda
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
Given the success of the original five Senior Cottages on Conway Road which were
developed as a result of the initiative of former Alderman Tom Tropp and approved by the
Council in 2001, constructing additional Senior Cottages to meet the housing needs of seniors
has been a goal in the community. In July 2019, the City Council, by motion “authorized the
contribution of up to $350,000 from the City’s Housing Trust Fund contingent on the
participation of other partners, grants and project support from other sources” to support the
development of additional Senior Cottages. At that time, the search for a workable location
for additional Senior Cottages was ongoing. Through the extraordinary efforts of the Lake
Forest – Lake Bluff Senior Citizens’ Foundation and CPAH, funding for the development is in
place with the Foundation not only matching the City’s financial contribution, but also
obtaining additional grants. Community Partners for Affordable Housing has lined up tax
credits and grants to support the majority of the development.
After exploration of the feasibility of various sites, the discussions focused on the City owned
parcel located on the northwest corner of Everett and Telegraph Roads, a commercially
zoned property that has long been identified as a potential site for housing. A cottage
development specifically for senior citizens at this location minimizes density, building height,
mix of uses, traffic volume, impacts on schools, and overall impacts on nearby residential
neighborhoods that could result from a different type of development on the site. Importantly,
a Senior Cottage development on this site provides easy access for the residents to grocery
stores, restaurants, medical services, the train station, and a church. The additional Senior
Cottages are located near the existing successful Senior Cottage development providing
efficiencies for CPAH long term with respect to management and maintenance.
In 2021, the City Council, by motion and based on a recommendation from the Housing Trust
Fund Board, endorsed the concept of Senior Cottages on the City owned site at Everett and
Telegraph Roads and directed development of plans and review through the appropriate
Boards and Commissions. That work has been completed.
The Plan Commission report which provides additional background information, is included in
the Council packet beginning on page 97.
Plan Commission Recommendation
Over the course of two meetings, the Plan Commission considered the site plan for the Senior
Cottages including the variance from the east property line, and the plat of consolidation. At
the conclusion of the public hearing on February 9, 2022, the Plan Commission voted 6 to 0 to
recommend approval of the overall site plan including a setback variance from the east
property line along Telegraph Road to allow two of the cottages to encroach no more than
five feet into the 20 foot setback, and approval of a plat of consolidation to define the exact
limits of the development site, the property to be transferred to Community Partners for
Affordable Housing. The Commission received one letter from a neighbor of the existing Senior
Cottages stating that the cottages are a low impact use and voicing support for additional
cottages. The Commission heard testimony from one neighbor noting that the pedestrian
pathway is well used and should remain and noting concern about traffic volumes in the area.
The Commission confirmed that the pedestrian pathway will remain and pointed out that
senior housing will generate less traffic than other uses that could be developed on the site.
The Ordinance authorizing the setback variance is included in the Council packet beginning
on page 79.

Tuesday, January 17, 2023, City Council Agenda
Building Review Board Recommendation
On January 10, 2022, the Building Review Board conducted a public hearing to consider the
design aspects of the Senior Cottages. No public testimony was presented to the Board. After
discussion, the Board offered suggestions on refinements to limited design elements that
should be considered during final design development and voted 5 to 0 to recommend
approval of the Senior Cottages to the city Council. The Ordinance approving the design
aspects of the development is included in the Council packet beginning on page 86 of the
Council packet.
Resolution Declaring Surplus Property
Consistent with the City’s property disposition policy, a Resolution is presented to the Council
for consideration declaring the property surplus and directing that the necessary steps be
undertaken to affect the transfer of the property. On December 5, 2022, the Property and
Public Lands Committee of the City Council reviewed the progress made to date on the
Senior Cottages development and unanimously recommended that the City Council approve
a Resolution declaring a portion of the City owned property on the northwest corner of Everett
and Waukegan Roads as surplus for the purpose of supporting the Senior Cottage
development. A copy of the resolution can be found on page 94.
Prior to the donation of the land to CPAH, the final documents detailing the terms of the
transfer, the Donation Agreement, will be presented to the Council for final action.
BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT
Consistent with prior Council discussions and consistent with a motion approved by the City
Council in July 2019 based on a recommendation from the City’s Housing Trust Fund Board,
$350,000 in the City’s Housing Trust Fund is budgeted to support the Senior Cottages through a
contribution to CPAH. At this time, in conjunction with the various other approvals requested,
the Council is asked to approve a motion allowing the contribution to be made to CPAH upon
the transfer of the property.

City Council Meeting
Mayor Pandaleon then introduced Robert T. O’Donnell, Attorney for 361 Westminster LLC (Appellant).
2. Consideration of an Appeal of a Decision of the Historic Preservation Commission to Deny a
Certificate of Appropriateness for the Two Buildings that Comprise the Third Phase of the
McKinley Road Multi-Family Planned Development.
Robert O’Donnell highlighted a recommendation to the Council to reverse the November 16 HPC decision to
deny a certificate of appropriateness. This was because of, not only a satisfaction of the 17 standards outlined
by the HPC in the application, but also an exercise of power, in a broad perspective, set forth in City code.
Settlement agreement thus allows for the modified plan to be implemented, ending litigation.
City Council then had lengthy discussion with City Staff regarding the specifics on the conditions and overall
precedent of an approval or denial of the above consideration. The City Council also had discussion on the City
code, city staff designee, written finding and the seventeen standards. A discussion with Mr. O’Donnell
ensued. City staff and the Council had discussion on the modified plan and the settlement agreement, noting
that it included that both the Plan Commission and the HPC were to hold meetings. The City Council went on
to discuss concerns about setting a precedent, it was noted that the library was included in and present at
each meeting. Additionally, the Council discussed green space and ethics. An objection to discussion of ethics
was voiced, the City Attorney Julie Tappendorf added that this has never been a disqualifying conflict of
interest in relation to this item. City Council then went into a break until 8:50p.m.
City Council reconvened at 8:50p.m., with the Council discussion of conditions City Staff recommended to the
HPC, as well as additional conditions that were agreed upon by the Appellant. Catherine Czerniak noted

After stating public comment guidelines, Mayor Pandaleon offered time for anyone from the public who
would like to make a comment.
Laura Luce offered her opinion to the City Council to uphold the HPC’s recommendation, noting harm in the
quality of life and visual character of Lake Forest.
Bridget O’Keefe, in the absence of Jim and Sally Downey, offered her opinion to the City Council regarding a
danger of precedent with a zoning border, health and safety welfare, and a lack of upholding the 17 standards.

Council to deny the appeal of the HPC due to a lack of enforcing ordinances.
Susan Athenson, representing the Lake Forest Preservation Foundation, offered her opinion to the City
Council, summarizing the letter that was sent in from the HPC to uphold their decision.
Tim Downey offered his opinion to the City Council, stating that building design should not be changed, and

property, therefore lowering house value and overall legacy in Lake Forest.
Susan Daily offered her opinion to the City Council, suggesting to table the discussion until after outside legal
consideration.
Rommy Lopat offered her opinion to the City Council, stating that the 2017 Master Plan mentioned a land

Proceedings of the Monday, December 5, 2022
City Council Meeting
Kari Johnston asked the City Council how close they each lived to the McKinley development, stating a lack of
knowledge into the issues.
Regina Lind offered her opinion to the City Council, stating a wedge between the City and the neighbors.
Mayor Pandaleon asked if any other member of the public wants to address the City Council. Seeing none,
Mayor Pandaleon then asked City Council members for final comment.
Alderman Morris stated that although he lives near the development of these items, he is not obligated to
abstain from the vote. Alderman Buschmann acknowledged the differences in zoning and adjacent property
factors, which as stated, needs further reports from the HPC specifying what standards were not met.
Regarding the Plan Commission, Alderman Buschmann suggested that the Council not vote on the easy way
out, but to vote on what’s right. Alderman Novit appreciates the hard work from City commissions and City
staff, stating a concern for precedence. She says the City owes it to residents to not loosely sit, but to help the
library while they need it. Alderman Morris, Preschlack, Notz and Weber stated their thanks for the hard work
in these items, all noting the necessity for the City to move forward, with Alderman Rummel questioning
whether modifications to the development would improve the character and visual of the overall project.
Robert O’Donnell stated the developer will not be considering any additional conditions.

again. Mayor Pandaleon asked for a motion.

approving amendments to the Special Use Permit for a Planned Development incorporating the modified
