A. Consideration of the Annual Appropriation Ordinance for FY2024 and Approval
of Rollovers (First Reading)
PRESENTED BY: Elizabeth Holleb, Finance Director (847) 810-3612
**Tuesday, June 20, 2023, City Council Agenda
PURPOSE AND ACTION REQUESTED: Staff requests approving the first reading of the FY2024
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 17, 2023 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 22) consist of projects that
were appropriated in FY2023 and will not be completed until FY2024. The list is preliminary at
this stage as FY2023 invoices are still being paid but will be finalized for final reading in July.
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.

3. Consideration of an Ordinance Amending the City of Lake Forest City Code
Regarding the Class A-2 Liquor License (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 A-2 Liquor license categories.
**Tuesday, June 20, 2023, City Council Agenda
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION: The Liquor Commissioner has received a request from Sophia
Steak to sell beer and wine in the original package as part of a new takeout operation called
“Pizza by Sal”, The new takeout operation will be operated out of the same location as Sophie
Steak. Sophia Steak currently has a C-1 and C-3 liquor license. To sell beer and wine in the
original package as part of the new takeout operation, Sophia Steak has requested a Class A-
2 License.
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 A-2 Liquor licenses will increase by one. The
proposed ordinance showing the number of Class A-2 Liquor licenses can be found beginning
on page 43.
BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT: The fiscal impact of adding additional licenses in the A-2 Liquor
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 A-2 Liquor license categories (First
reading and if appropriate final approval).
4. Approval of Tentative Agreement on Wages with the Local Chapter of the
Metropolitan Alliance of Police (MAP) and Approval of an Amended FY24 Pay Plan
STAFF CONTACT: Amber Campbell, Director of Human Resources (847-810-3532)
PURPOSE AND ACTION REQUESTED: Staff requests approval of Wage Agreement as part of the
Metropolitan Alliance of Police (MAP) collective bargaining agreement between the City and
the Lake Forest Police Officers and approval of an amended Pay Plan for FY24.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: The collective bargaining agreement between the City and the
Police Officers was negotiated and approved by the City Council in April 2021. It is a three-
year agreement that expired April 30, 2023. The original Agreement included a wage
reopener for Year 3 of the contract. The City and the Local met and came to tentative
agreement on an FY2024 wage schedule and additional duty pays for the Police Officers. The
union ratified the tentative agreement in May 2023, and it is now before the City Council for
ratification.
BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT:
Pay Increases:
Position FY22 FY23 FY24
Police Officer 2.85% 2.65% 4.00%
**Tuesday, June 20, 2023, City Council Agenda
The adopted FY2024 budget includes a 2.5% increase for salaries. With this 4.00% increase, the
estimated budgetary increase is $45,468.
Field Training Officer (FTO) Pay: There are four (4) police officers who assume a significant
amount of extra responsibility to train our new police officers. Estimated budgetary increase in
FY24 is $1,015.
FY22 FY23 FY24
Field Training Officer Pay $3,500 $3,500 $3,750
Specialty Unit Pay: There are nine (9) police officers who assume significant extra
responsibilities as an Evidence Technician. The estimated budgetary increase in FY24 is $2,283.
FY22 FY23 FY24
Evidence Technician Pay $1,000 $1,250 $1,500
The total estimate over the FY24 budgeted amount is $48,765. If necessary, a supplemental
appropriation will be submitted for City Council consideration at the close of the fiscal year.
COUNCIL ACTION: Approval of Tentative Agreement on Wages with the Local Chapter of the
Metropolitan Alliance of Police (MAP) and Approval of an Amended FY24 Pay Plan (page 46).
5. Consideration of a Request to Waive the Fidelity Bond Requirement in Connection
with Holding a Raffle in the City of Lake Forest for the Friends of Lake Forest Parks &
Recreation Foundation (Approval 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 Friends of Lake Forest
Parks & Recreation 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 Friends of Lake Forest Parks & Recreation Foundation is requesting a waiver of
the bond requirement and has submitted a request. A copy of the request can be found
beginning on page 51.

6. Consideration of an Ordinance Granting a Food Scrap Curbside Composting Service
Franchise Agreement Between the City of Lake Forest and WasteNot Composting,
Inc. (First reading and if appropriate final approval)
STAFF CONTACT: Reagan Walsh, Management Analyst (847-810-3677)
PURPOSE AND ACTION REQUESTED: The Environmental Sustainability Committee and staff
requests awarding the lowest responsive and responsible proposal for professional services
related to curbside food scrap composting service pickup within municipal boundaries of the
City of Lake Forest. A copy of the ordinance and agreement can be found on page 52.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: Through a Strategic Planning Assessment conducted in 2020, the
Environmental Sustainability Committee identified providing greater access to composting as
a key initiative in reducing the City’s Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions. After a comprehensive
assessment concluded that compost pickup would not be viable as an added City sanitation
service, the Committee advised that using a vetted third-party vendor to service residents and
businesses would be an attainable and financially feasible option for achieving this long-range
goal.
City staff developed a Request for Proposal (RFP) for professional services for curbside food
scrap composting to participating properties within the municipal boundaries of the City of
Lake Forest. Per the proposal, the awarded third-party vendor would handle all operations
regarding the program, including registration, billing, reporting, and customer service.
The food scrap composting service in general mirrors a traditional sanitation service, where a
provided container (i.e. 5-gallon bucket), is dropped off at the customers home or business
and is then emptied on a weekly or scheduled date. That said, a “container swap” strategy,
which includes replacing a used container with a new, clean sanitized container each pickup
is a critical difference in the service.

BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT: There is no direct City budget impact for awarding services for food
scrap composting services as all program operations (including billing) will be run through the
private vendor. That said, if the City were to supply compost containers at City owned facilities
for employee use (City Hall, Deerpath Golf Course, etc.), the City would have to pay service
fees for this service similar to any resident. The costs are anticipated to be minimal.

7. Approval for the purchase of a Zoll X series cardiac monitor, with an extended
warranty, in an amount not to exceed $48,060.63, and authorization to dispose of
City property with a value in excess of $4,000
STAFF CONTACT: Pete Siebert Chief (847-810-3864)
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 requests approval to purchase the extended warranty. As part of the purchase, staff
**Tuesday, June 20, 2023, City Council Agenda
is also seeking authority to dispose of City property with a value in excess of $4,000, as the
vendor has offered a trade in allowance of $5,500 for the existing monitor.
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; however, the cardiac monitor/AED's we
currently use, in some cases are 8 years old, have limited functionality, and need of repairs
and upgrades. They use technology that was developed and released in 2012, newer
released technology and 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 and our current monitors lack the ability to diagnose CO
poisoning. The new cardiac monitors are equipped with the ability to determine these levels in
our patients, including our firefighters upon exiting a structure fire. Current monitors on the
market have many improvements over our current ALS ambulance monitors that are in use,
which can drastically improve patient care. 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. The Fire Department is also seeking
authorization to dispose of City property with a value exceeding $4,000 (Trade in $5,500)
BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT: The funds for this purchase were approved as discretionary funds out
of the General Fund in the FY24 budget. The fire department has submitted multiple grant
requests to try and fund purchases of cardiac monitors, but we have been denied all requests.
The Fire Department is also seeking authorization to dispose of City property with a value
exceeding $4,000 (Trade in $5,500), per Administrative Directive 3-2 “Establishment of
procedures for disposal of City Property.”
Has competitive pricing been obtained for proposed goods/services? No
If no, indicate the specific exception requested:

8. Approval of a Recommendation from the Public Works Committee to Award a One-
Year Professional Services Agreement Extension to Multisystem Management
Company to Provide Janitorial Services at City Facilities in the Amount of $231,180
STAFF CONTACT: Jim Lockefeer, Assistant Director of Public Works (847-810-3542)
PURPOSE AND ACTION REQUESTED: The Public Works Committee and City staff requests City
Council award a one-year Professional Services Agreement extension to Multisystem
Management Company to provide janitorial services at City in the amount of $231,180.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: The City’s janitorial services agreement includes general janitorial
building cleaning tasks at fourteen City buildings. The agreement includes detailed cleaning
tasks, frequencies, and schedules at the fourteen facilities that range from once-a-week
cleanings at the Water Plant to seven days a week at the Public Safety Building. All building
janitorial services are provided during the evening hours at every facility within the agreement.
The agreement also contains twice a year machine floor cleanings at each of the fourteen
buildings.
In June of 2019, the City entered into a three-year agreement with Multisystem Management
Company to provide general janitorial and twice a year floor cleaning services at City
buildings. Included as part of that three-year agreement approval, the City has the option to
enter into two, one-year extensions with Multisystem Management Company based on
performance and proposed price increases. In June of 2022, City Council approved of an
additional one-year service agreement extension. Over the course of the original three-year
agreement and the one-year extension, a City staff “Janitorial Building Coordinator Group”,
met quarterly with Multisystem Management Company to continually review performance.
The Building Coordinator again supports extending Multisystem Management Company for
their fifth and final year.

9. Ratification of an Emergency Purchase of a Replacement Parks Section Pick-Up
Truck Approved by the City Manager, to Castle Motors of McHenry in the Amount of
$58,944
STAFF CONTACT: Jim Lockefeer, Assistant Director of Public Works (847-810-3542)
PURPOSE AND ACTION REQUESTED: City staff requests City Council ratify an emergency
purchase of a Parks Section pick-up truck that was approved by the City Manager on May 31,
2023. The purchase is from Castle Motors of McHenry in the amount of $58,944.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: This replacement pick-up truck for the Parks Section was
identified and budgeted for at the November 14, 2022, Finance Committee Capital Budget
Meeting. The entire Fiscal Year 2024 Capital Equipment Program was further reviewed at the
November 28, 2023, Public Works Committee meeting.
This pick-up truck replacement purchase will allow the existing Parks Section pick-up to transfer
to the Parks and Recreation Sailing Program to serve as their needed towing vehicle. This
replacement purchase will then further support the Golf Course as the existing Sailing Program
pick-up truck will be transferred to Deerpath Golf Course operations. These transfers are
important as the Golf Course has been without a needed pick-up truck since the Fall of 2022
after their existing pick-up truck had to be removed from service due to significant frame rust
and rot.
Due to extreme demand associated with the needed specified Parks Section pick-up truck
and very limited supply available on the market, Public Works staff sought the City Manager’s
approval to complete the purchase of this needed replacement directly off a dealership lot.
Typically, capital equipment purchases of this nature tend to be completed as part of a
competitive bid process for which Fleet Section staff develop replacement specifications. The
specifications are then posted publicly for a two-week period for interested firms to submit a
**Tuesday, June 20, 2023, City Council Agenda
bid that would meet all specifications. Due to extremely high demand and low supply, there
have been no opportunities to complete this bid process. The current industry trend is direct lot
purchases occurring on a first come, first served basis. The City’s Fleet Section has been closely
monitoring these purchase trends and, in many cases, when these trucks are available, they
remain available for only a day and have been subject to dealer market adjustments that
have ranged from $5,000 to $15,000 over the manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP). This
has posed many challenges for municipalities in purchasing these types of pick-up trucks. The
City’s Fleet Supervisor regularly attends Municipal Fleet Manager Association meetings and
recently attended a vehicle purchasing roundtable discussion hosted by Lake County. It was
learned that many other municipalities have utilized emergency methods to purchase high
demand/low supply vehicles and equipment directly off dealership lots.
After the opportunity to purchase this replacement pick-up truck was identified by Fleet
Section staff at $2,500 above MSRP, staff worked quickly to seek the City Manager’s approval
to complete an emergency purchase before the vehicle was no longer available. It was the
only pick-up truck on the dealer’s lot that met replacement specifications and it was not
anticipated to be available for more than one day. The purchase was granted with the
understanding that staff would request the purchase be ratified at this evening’s City Council
meeting.

STAFF CONTACT: Jim Lockefeer, Assistant Director of Public Works (847-810-3542)
**Tuesday, June 20, 2023, City Council Agenda
PURPOSE AND ACTON REQUESTED: The Public Works Committee and City staff requests
approval of a bid for thermoplastic lane marking to Superior Road Striping in an amount not-
to-exceed $93,000.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: The City of Lake Forest, as a member of the Northwest Municipal
Conference (NWMC) is able to participate in NWMC’s Suburban Purchasing Cooperative
(SPC). The SPC is made up of 134 communities in the Northwest Municipal Conference, the
South Suburban Mayors and Managers Association, the DuPage Mayors Conference, and the
Will County Government League.
One of SPC’s annual joint purchasing initiatives is the thermoplastic lane marking bid for
member agencies. The City has been participating in the thermoplastic lane marking for the
last 22 years. SPC’s lane marking specifications meet Illinois Department of Transportation
(IDOT) standards. Bids and selection of the lowest responsible and responsive bidder are
approved by IDOT.
The 2023 SPC/IDOT thermoplastic lane marking bid was awarded to Superior Road Striping,
Inc. of Melrose Park, Illinois. The original bid includes three potential, one-year contract
extensions. This past March, the SPC Governing Board approved the second extension.
Under this contract, Superior Road Striping agrees to all terms and conditions as set forth in the
specifications contained within the contract and Superior Road Striping must comply with all
IDOT rules and regulations.

11. Approval of an Agreement with Strand Associates for Advanced Metering
Infrastructure Professional Consulting Services for the Water Meter Replacement
Project in the Amount of $72,460 with a 5% or $3,623 Contingency.
STAFF CONTACT: Dan Martin, Superintendent of Public Works (847-810-3561)
PURPOSE AND ACTION REQUESTED: City staff requests approval of an agreement for Advanced
Metering Infrastructure (“AMI”) Professional Consulting Services for the Water Meter
Replacement Project to Strand Associates in the amount of $72,460 with a 5% or $3,623
contingency.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: The City’s Water Meter system was last replaced in 2004. There
are currently 6,532 residential meters, 45 multi-family meters, and 136 commercial meters within
the City. The current meters are equipped with a Radio Read Meter Transceiver Unit (MXU),
which permits meter reading via radio signals transmitted to the drive-by data collector. A
Water & Sewer employee collects this data the first weekday of every month. The data is
transferred to a computer program and shared quarterly with the Finance Department’s BS&A
software for water billing. The current water meters are approaching their 20-year end of useful
life which has already resulted in some meter replacements due to failing meter batteries
being obsolete and no longer available. A complete replacement of existing meters is
required to replace aging equipment, improve billing accuracy, and maintain the ability to
collect water service revenue. In 2020, City staff had a preliminary AMI study conducted for
the City’s Water Meter System. The preliminary study identified that significant Departmental
and Operating Section efficiencies would be realized by pursuing an AMI system. Some key
benefits include providing real-time water usage data, customer portals with web-based
platforms where users can review water usage, and notification tools (such as high-water use,
leak detection and other communications). Additionally, an AMI system provides further
**Tuesday, June 20, 2023, City Council Agenda
operational support and efficiencies in collaborating with existing leak detection equipment
to control water loss and improve record keeping and tracking of water system production to
reduce water loss.
In preparation for a Citywide meter replacement project, consultant services are needed to
develop comprehensive AMI system requirements. Specifically, the consulting engineer will
develop cost estimate for meter replacement, create bid technical specifications and
drawings, and provide bid process support to include vendor proposal review, and
implementation management and oversight. Per the RFP, a probable cost estimate for the
implementation of the new meters will be submitted to staff by October 1, 2023. Staff will
incorporate the revised estimate into the Capital Improvement Program.

An RFP Committee comprised of City staff reviewed and ranked each proposal based on the
cost, experience and qualifications of the firm, the firms’ experience with municipal
government projects completed in the Midwest region, and references / results achieved with
similar prior projects.
The RFP Committee unanimously recommended approving an agreement for these consulting
services to Strand & Associates. Strand & Associates submitted a comprehensive proposal that
clearly outlined all the necessary information in order to meet the requirements of the City’s
RFP. Strand Associates submitted a detailed cost estimate that outlined and demonstrated
their understanding of the scope of work outlined within the RFP. The City has a great deal of
positive experiences working with Strand Associates for the previous eleven years, including
the 2017 Water Plant Improvement Project. Strand Associates also demonstrated the overall
strongest experience providing AMI consulting services and has completed similar local
projects for the municipalities of Highland Park, Lake Bluff, and Deerfield. Although a

significantly lower cost proposal was received, the RFP Committee did not recommend The
Shipigler Group due to concerns surrounding their submission of an incomplete proposal. The
Committee did not feel their cost proposal and project schedule was going to adequately
meet the needs of this significant project. The Shipigler Group provided a lump sum cost
proposal but did not provide further detailed cost breakouts as to how their cost proposal was
developed, as requested in the RFP. The firm is based in Atlanta, Georgia and they did not
include estimated travel expenses. The Shipigler Group also did not present any local
municipal experience in providing AMI consulting services and their team does not list any
Professional Engineers necessary to develop technical specifications and drawings to design
an AMI system. The RFP Committee did not recommend Meter SYS, also due to their cost
proposal and project schedule adequately meeting the needs of this significant project. Meter
SYS provided a pricing summary but did not provide further detailed cost breakouts as to how
their cost proposal was developed, as requested in the RFP. The firm is based in Raleigh, North
Carolina and did not present any local municipal experience in providing AMI consulting
services. Additionally, their project team did not include any Professional Engineers. The RFP
Committee unanimously agreed that the support of Professional Engineers were necessary to
develop technical specifications and drawings to design an AMI system.
If awarded this evening, work would begin immediately. Staff expects the approved firm to
develop an engineering probable cost estimates by October 1, 2023, for capital improvement
planning purposes.

12. Award of Bid in the Amount of $99,500.00 with a 5% or $4,975 Contingency to
Midwest Power for the Lake Forest Water Treatment Plant Emergency Generator
Radiator Rebuild Project.
STAFF CONTACT: Dan Martin, Superintendent of Public Works (847-810-3561)
PURPOSE AND ACTION REQUESTED: The Public Works Committee and staff requests City Council
approval to award the bid to rebuild the radiator on the emergency generator located at the
Water Plant to Midwest Power in the Amount of $99,500.00 with a 5% or $4,975 Contingency.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: The Lake Forest Water Treatment Plant has two very large backup
generators referred to as the west and east generators that were both installed in 2004. Each
generator has the capacity to operate the Water Plant at 80% production demand. Only at
times of peak water production do both generators need to be used to operate the Water
Plant during a utility power loss. In February 2020 the City Council approved the replacement
**Tuesday, June 20, 2023, City Council Agenda
of the west generator radiator by Midwest Power. In early February 2023, during a routine
inspection a small coolant leak was discovered coming from the east generator. The service
contractor investigated and identified one area leaking from the core of the radiator which is
approximately 9 feet tall by 8 feet wide. The radiator core is comprised of rows of tubes and
serpentine fins that work to transfer heat to the cooling fan. Staff proposed two options in the
RFP: repair the generator using a new radiator or rebuild the existing radiator.
The estimate to purchase just a new replacement radiator without installation was in excess of
$100,000 with over a 12 month build lead time, this led staff to move towards having the
radiator rebuilt. The process includes removing the top and bottom tanks and the side panels
from the center core. The inside of the tanks are flushed, prepped with new gaskets and
everything is remounted to the new core. The reassembled radiator is pressure tested and
repainted after being delivered and reinstalled. The rebuilt radiator will have a 2-year
warranty.

Bid Meeting and that contractor submitted a bid. When Staff inquired of the other contractors
that an invitation to bid was directly emailed, regarding why they did not submit a bid one
commented on their concern with bonding requirements and no reply was received from the
others.
Has City staff obtained competitive pricing for proposed goods/services? Yes
On April 11, 2023, staff received the following bid to rebuild the east generator radiator:

Upon review of the received bid, staff recommends proceeding with the low bid received by
Midwest Power. Midwest Power currently holds the City’s preventative maintenance contract
for all City generators as part of the Municipal Partnering Initiative. Midwest Power has worked
for the Illinois Tollway, Mill Creek Water Reclamation District and Lake County Public works. In
2018 they rebuilt a radiator for the Illinois Tollway that was similar in scope to this project and in
2020 Midwest Power successfully rebuilt the west generator radiator at the water plant.

13. Approval of a Resolution to Adopt the 2022 Lake County All-Natural Hazards
Mitigation Plan
STAFF CONTACT: Byron Kutz, Superintendent of Engineering (847-810-3555)
PURPOSE AND ACTION REQUESTED: Staff is requesting City Council adoption of the 2022 update
of the Lake County All-Natural Hazards Mitigation Plan.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: In 2006, Lake County and participating Lake County
municipalities developed and adopted the first Lake County Countywide All-Natural Hazards
Mitigation Plan (ANHMP). The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), through the
Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 (DMA 2000) and the Stafford Act, requires that a community
develop and adopt a FEMA-approved natural hazard mitigation plan in order to be eligible
for hazard mitigation grant funds. DMA 2000 requires that the mitigation ANHMP be updated
and re-adopted every five years to maintain grant eligibility. This 2022 ANHMP is the third
update of the 2006 ANHMP. The ANHMP is multi-jurisdictional, meaning the County and the
municipalities must adopt the ANHMP.
This ANHMP meets all FEMA planning requirements including those of the FEMA National Flood
Insurance Program’s (NFIP) Community Rating System (CRS). The ANHMP allows Lake County
and the participating communities to receive Hazard Mitigation Assistance Program (HMA)
grant funding from FEMA to fund mitigation projects.
The ANHMP update was conducted with the input of the Lake County Hazard Mitigation
Planning Committee (HMPC), which includes Lake County departments and agencies, Lake
County municipalities and other stakeholders. The ANHMP has been conditionally approved
by the Illinois Emergency Management Agency and FEMA. The HMPC has been in place
since the development of the 2006 ANHMP and has been meeting annually.
Attached beginning on page 63 of the agenda packet is the plan Executive Summary and
Frequently Asked Questions page; the full plan (352 pages) may be viewed
at: https://www.lakecountyil.gov/3973/Flood-Information-and-Programs
**Tuesday, June 20, 2023, City Council Agenda
BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT: The ANHMP is a plan that makes the City and Lake County eligible for
mitigation grant funds from FEMA. Each municipality that adopts the ANHMP should implement
parts of the ANHMP that apply to them as resources (staff time and funding) become available.
If resources are not available, then implementation of an action item is not required. The goal
is for implementation of all actions, but those that cannot be implemented will be reconsidered
in future updates of the ANHMP. If there are parts of the ANHMP that cannot be implemented,
then there is no penalty or loss of FEMA eligibility. The City is under no obligation to initiate
projects or fund any aspect of the plan.
COUNCIL ACTION: Approval of a Resolution to Adopt the 2022 Lake County All-Natural
Hazards Mitigation Plan
14. Approval of Design Engineering Services for the Elawa Parking Lot Improvements to
Bleck Engineering Company, Inc., and Authorize the City Manager to Execute an
Agreement in the Amount of $29,400 to Include a Contingency in the Amount of
$5,416 for a Total Cost of $34,816
STAFF CONTACT: Byron Kutz, P.E., Superintendent of Engineering (847-810-3555)
PURPOSE AND ACTION REQUESTED: The Public Works Committee and City staff are requesting
approval of an agreement with Bleck Engineering Company, Inc., (Bleck hereafter) to provide
civil engineering design services for the Elawa Parking Lot Improvements in an amount of
$29,400 with a Contingency in the Amount of $5,416 for a Total Cost of $34,816. In addition,
authorization for the City Manager to Execute the Agreement.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: The Elawa Parking Lot located at 1401 Middlefork Drive is an
existing asphalt lot currently with a capacity of 40 cars. There also is a Lake County Forest
Preserve gravel parking lot just west which accommodates an additional approximately 40
cars as well. The existing total capacity of 80 spaces is often exceeded between the multiple
users of this area which includes: Lake County Forest Preserve users of the Middlefork Savanna,
Elawa Park users, Elawa Farm Foundation, and Lake Forest Open Lands. The City entered into
an Intergovernmental Agreement with the Lake County Forest Preserve in 1999 which
stipulates that a minimum of 40 spaces be available to the Lake County Forest Preserve at any
time. The Lake County Forest Preserve in the past has desired to have the 40-space gravel
parking lot remain pervious and not be paved with asphalt thus it is not included with this
project. The proposed project includes not only reconstructing the existing asphalt parking lot
which is deteriorating but also expanding parking to the north with a proposed asphalt
parking lot accommodating around an additional 30 cars. Vehicle circulation will also be
considered in order to improve vehicle movement through the lot.
In 2016 a Landscape Concept for the Elawa Parking Lot was created by Craig Bergmann
Landscape Design. The design accounted for improved sidewalk circulation, bike-racks, and
additional landscape screening, which are all included in the scope of this proposed design.
The 2016 Landscape Concept also accounted for a future comfort-station as funded by a
private-donor, sidewalk connections to this future potential proposed bathroom are also
included in the project scope. Additional scope includes installation of EV charging stations,
analyzing and design of additional lighting as necessary, upgrading sidewalk accessibility, and
drainage improvements including sustainable items such as a bioswale or a raingarden.
**Tuesday, June 20, 2023, City Council Agenda
Public outreach and coordination are important elements of this project. The Community
Development Director met with the Middlefork Homeowner’s association in early June to
present the concept plan for the project. Currently another meeting with the Homeowner’s
Association is anticipated in July.
Bleck will provide civil engineering services including project design and specifications,
preliminary and final cost estimates, and development of construction documents. Bleck was
involved with the 2016 Landscape Concept, as well as the 2016 design of the gravel parking
lot to the west.

Lake County All-Natural Hazard Mitigation Plan
Executive Summary ES-1 October 2022
Executive Summary
In 2006, Lake County and participating Lake County municipalities developed and adopted the
first Lake County Countywide All-Natural Hazards Mitigation Plan (ANHMP). The Federal
Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), through the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 (DMA
2000) and the Stafford Act require that a community develop and adopt a FEMA-approved
natural hazard mitigation ANHMP to be eligible for hazard mitigation grant funds. DMA 2000 and
the Stafford Act require that the mitigation ANHMP be updated and re-adopted every five years
to maintain grant eligibility. This 2022 ANHMP is the third update of the 2006 ANHMP. The
ANHMP is multi-jurisdictional, meaning the county and its participating municipalities must adopt
the ANHMP.
This ANHMP meets all FEMA planning requirements including those of the FEMA National Flood
Insurance Program (NFIP) and Community Rating System (CRS). The ANHMP allows Lake County
and its participating communities to receive Hazard Mitigation Assistance Program (HMA) grant
funding from FEMA to fund mitigation projects. CRS allows participating communities to earn
credit towards discounts in flood insurance premiums. More can be learned about these
programs at: http://www.fema.gov/hazard-mitigation-grant-program.
While this ANHMP meets federal planning requirements, it
has also been prepared to address protection of life, health,
and safety, and to reduce damage to property and
infrastructure from natural hazards. This ANHMP assesses
the natural hazards that affect Lake County, sets mitigation
goals, considers mitigation efforts currently being
implemented, evaluates additional mitigation strategies,
and recommends mitigation actions to be implemented over the next five years. The mitigation
actions are designed to protect the people and assets of Lake County and are intended to be
implemented by the public and the private sectors.
ANHMP Development
The ANHMP update was conducted with the input of the Lake County Hazard Mitigation Planning
Committee (HMPC), which includes Lake County departments and agencies, Lake County
municipalities and other stakeholders. The HMPC has been in place since the development of
the 2006 ANHMP and has been meeting annually. The efforts of the HMPC were coordinated by
the Lake County Stormwater Management Commission (SMC) and Lake County Emergency
Management Agency (LCEMA).
The update of the ANHMP was based on discussion and data provided by the participating
municipalities as they followed the recommended 10-step planning process. An ANHMP
introduction and a description of the planning process are presented in Chapters 1 and 2. Natural
hazards that can impact Lake County have been assessed in Chapter 3. Goals and guidelines
established by the HMPC are presented in Chapter 4. Six mitigation strategies and a capabilities
assessment of Lake County are examined in Chapter 5. The ANHMP action plan is detailed in
“Hazard mitigation is defined as
any sustained action taken to
reduce or eliminate long-term risk
to life and property from a hazard
event.”
FEMA
Lake County All-Natural Hazard Mitigation Plan
Executive Summary ES-2 October 2022
Chapter 6, and procedures for monitoring and maintaining this ANHMP are included in Chapter
7.
Chapter Summary:
Planning Process
The HMPC followed a 10-step planning process to update the ANHMP. The HMPC met five times
from January to April 2022. The HMPC
reviewed the hazards and their effects on
people and property, considered a variety of
ways to reduce and prevent damage, and
recommended the most appropriate and
feasible measures for implementation.
Existing plans and programs were reviewed
during the planning process. It should be
underscored that this ANHMP does not
replace other planning efforts, such as
community comprehensive plans, or the
Lake County Comprehensive Stormwater
Management Plan. This ANHMP
complements those efforts.
The public was invited to participate through
several concurrent means, including HMPC
meetings, online surveys, paper surveys,
press releases, newsletter articles, and the
Lake County website. A public meeting was
held on April 19, 2022, at the Central Permit
Facility in Libertyville, Illinois. The public
comment period opened on February 17,
2023.
Natural Hazard Risk Assessment
The HMPC reviewed all potential natural
hazards that could impact Lake County, and
evaluated them based on their causes, their
likelihood of occurring, and their impact on
people, property, critical facilities, and the
local economy. The information was based
on available technical studies and reports by
the participating agencies and communities
and on their past experiences.
The final approved plan will be available on the SMC website at: Stormwater Management
Commission | Lake County, IL (lakecountyil.gov)
Lake County All-Natural Hazard Mitigation Plan
Executive Summary ES-4 October 2022
Hazard Mitigation Goals and Guidelines
The goals of the ANHMP were reviewed and reaffirmed by the HMPC. The ANHMP goals are to:
Goal 1. Protect the lives, health, and safety of the people of Lake County from the impacts
and effects of natural hazards.
Goal 2. Protect public services, utilities, and critical facilities from potential damage from
natural hazard events.
Goal 3. Mitigate existing buildings to protect against damage from natural hazard events.
Goal 4. Ensure that new developments do not create new exposures of people and
property to damage from natural hazards.
Goal 5. Mitigate to protect against economic and transportation losses due to natural
hazards.
Chapter 4 presents guidelines developed by the HMPC to achieving the above goals and to
facilitate the development of hazard mitigation action items.
Hazard Mitigation Strategies
The HMPC considered mitigation strategies for the natural hazards shown on page ES-2. The
HMPC reviewed current preventive mitigation measures being implemented by the county and
municipalities. Preventive measures include activities such as building codes and the
enforcement of the Lake County Watershed Development Ordinance. Lake County is strong in
preventive measures through floodplain regulations and sustainable projects.
Property protection mitigation measures are
used to modify buildings or property subject to
existing damage. The HMPC agreed that
special attention should be given to floodplain
areas and designated repetitively flooded
areas. SMC should continue with their
voluntary floodplain acquisition program.
Many measures can be implemented by the
property owners, such as dry and wet
floodproofing. Appropriate government
activities include public information, technical
assistance, and financial support. Emphasis
has also been placed on critical facilities,
particularly on understanding their
vulnerability to wind and severe storm
hazards.
Lake County All-Natural Hazard Mitigation Plan
Executive Summary ES-5 October 2022
Natural resource protection activities are aimed at preserving (or in some cases restoring) natural
areas. These activities include preserving wetlands, control of erosion and sedimentation, stream
restoration, and urban forestry management. Urban forestry programs are encouraged to
protect utility lines from damage caused by trees during wind and ice storms.
The HMPC called for a better understanding of flood and other hazards to improve emergency
management – preparedness, response, and recovery.
Structural mitigation projects such as the regional detention basins are still important
components of the county’s comprehensive watershed management program. Additional
watershed studies are still needed. The HMPC also recommended that each community establish
a formal and regular program of drainage system maintenance and examine drainage
improvements.
The HMPC identified numerous subject areas that would benefit from a coordinated public
information program to focus on residents and property owners obtaining proper insurance and
ways for people to protect themselves and their property from natural hazards.
Mitigation Action Plan
The action plan outlines the recommended activities and initiatives to be implemented over the
next five years. It is understood that implementation is contingent on the availability of resources
(staff and funding). The action plan identifies those responsible for implementing the action
items, and when they are to be completed.
Mitigation actions are not limited to those listed in the action plan. Other recommendations in
this ANHMP (Chapter 5) should be implemented as opportunities arise.
Plan Adoption
This ANHMP serves to recommend mitigation measures for Lake County. Adoption is also a
requirement for recognition of the ANHMP by FEMA for mitigation funding programs.
The adoption of this Lake County All-Natural Hazards Mitigation Plan will be done by resolution
of the county board, the city councils, and boards of trustees of each participating municipality.
The municipal resolutions will adopt each action item that is pertinent to the community and a
person responsible for it will be assigned. With adoption, the county and each municipality are
individually eligible to apply for FEMA mitigation grant funding.
Summary
This 2022 update to the ANHMP was developed by the Lake County HMPC as a multi-
jurisdictional ANHMP to meet federal mitigation planning requirements. This ANHMP updated
the examination of natural hazards facing Lake County, establishes mitigation goals, evaluates,
and highlights the existing mitigation activities underway in Lake County, and recommends a
mitigation action plan for the county and participating jurisdictions to undertake in the next five
years. The mitigation efforts included in this ANHMP are for protecting people, property, and

other assets of Lake County. Some action items are ongoing efforts while others are new.
Implementation of all action items is contingent on the availability of staff and funding.
This ANHMP will be adopted by resolution by the Lake County Board and each participating
jurisdiction. This ANHMP will be implemented and maintained through both countywide and
individual initiatives as funding and resources become available.

Lake County All Natural Hazards Mitigation Plan – 2022 Update
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Lake County All Natural Hazards Mitigation Plan (ANHMP)?
The ANHMP addresses natural hazards that may impact Lake County and identifies activities to prevent, prepare
for, and respond to, potential hazards (e.g., earthquakes, tornados, floods, snow, wind, hail, ice).
Why was the ANHMP developed?
The adoption of an ANHMP and the update of it every 5 years allows Lake County and participating Lake County
municipalities to be eligible for federal disaster mitigation grants. The ANHMP also provides credit for
communities that participate in FEMA’s Community Rating System (CRS), which reduces flood insurance costs in
those communities.
Who developed the ANHMP?
The ANHMP was developed by Lake County and participating Lake County municipalities.
What is the update “process”?
Our update process included three (3) meetings with participating municipalities in January, February, March, and
April, 2022 to review the ANHMP’s goals and action items, and to draft an updated plan. Updates on mitigation
activities over the last 5 years are included in the plan. Public input and comments were also solicited. A draft of
the updated ANHMP was made available for public review and sent to Illinois Emergency Management Agency
(IEMA) and FEMA for review and approval. Once approved, plan adoption will be recommended to the County
and participating municipalities.
The ANHMP is considered multi-jurisdictional.
Each government agency must adopt the ANHMP to maintain federal eligibility. The County Board adoption of the
ANHMP is for unincorporated areas of the County. Each municipality must adopt the ANHMP covering their
corporate boundaries.
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.
If we don’t adopt the 2022 ANHMP, is our community eligible for federal disaster assistance?
Yes, the ANHMP is not tied to disaster assistance. The ANHMP is required for mitigation project grants from the
Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP), Flood Mitigation Assistance (FMA), Building Resilient Infrastructure,
and Communities (BRIC), and the Rehabilitation of High Hazard Potential Dam (HHPD) Grant program. It is prudent
to have an adopted hazard mitigation plan.
Who will implement the Hazard Mitigation Plan?
Municipalities and Lake County upon plan adoption, and with other local government partners, will implement
the ANHMP, as resources (staff time and funding) are available. An example of a joint effort may be the
development of common public information materials.
