FINANCE COMMITTEE
1.GFOA Triple Crown Award Presentation and Distinguished Budget Presentation
Award
PRESENTED BY: Finance Committee Chair, Alderman Weber
Recently, the City was notified by the Government Finance Officers Association that the City’s
FY23 Popular Annual Financial Report (PAFR) has received the GFOA’s PAFR Award. The
GFOA established the Popular Annual Financial Reporting Awards Program (PAFR Program) in
1
Monday, October 21, 2024, City Council Agenda
1991 to encourage and assist state and local governments to extract information from their
annual comprehensive financial report to produce high quality popular annual financial
reports specifically designed to be readily accessible and easily understandable to the
general public and other interested parties without a background in public finance and then
to recognize individual governments that are successful in achieving that goal.
Successfully achieving this award puts the City in a very exclusive club as a GFOA “Triple
Crown” winner for the 3rd year in a row. This designation is for governmental units that have
been awarded the GFOA Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting,
the GFOA Distinguished Budget Presentation award, and the GFOA PAFR Award.
• The City has earned the GFOA Financial Reporting Award 45 consecutive years
• The City has earned the GFOA Budget Presentation Award for 9 consecutive years,
including recently being notified of receiving the award for the City’s FY25 budget
• The City has earned the GFOA PAFR award for 3 consecutive years
According to the US Census Bureau, there are more than 90,000 units of government in the US.
Only 354 units of government in the United States currently hold “GFOA Triple Crown”
recognition!
The Finance Department team is to be commended for the excellent work they do each and
every day that allows for the City to be successful in achieving these national recognitions.

with Holding Three Raffles in the City of Lake Forest for the School of St. Mary Parent
Association (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 requirements in connection with the three proposed raffles from the School of St.
Mary Parent Association.
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 School of St. Mary Parent Association is requesting waivers of the bond
requirements and has submitted three requests. A copy of the requests can be found
beginning on page 27

3.Approval of Health Insurance Contracts for Calendar Year 2025
STAFF CONTACT: Amber Campbell, Director of Human Resources (847-810-3532)
PURPOSE AND ACTION REQUESTED: The PCA Committee and staff are recommending City
Council approval of contracts for medical, dental and related insurance benefits for calendar
year 2025.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: The City currently provides medical and dental insurance benefits
for City and Library employees through a self-insured plan. With annual plan costs of $6.5
million budgeted for FY25, City Manager Wicha tasked an administrative team to conduct a
comprehensive review of the City’s current plan and explore options for consideration. The
administrative team included Assistant City Manager George Issakoo, Finance Director
Elizabeth Holleb, and Human Resources Director Amber Campbell.
The review process began in August 2023 with an in-depth analysis of the City’s current self-
insurance model, focusing on potential risk mitigation strategies. The administrative team also
explored two potential pools serving neighboring municipalities. Similar to the City’s
membership in the Intergovernmental Risk Management Agency for liability, property, and
workers' compensation, the two pools explored provide enhanced benefits for their members
while allowing for risk mitigation and cost sharing, resulting in more predictability in annual plan
costs. One pool had a smaller membership base and did not allow for flexibility in plan design,
with all pool members offering identical benefits to their employees.

Monday, October 21, 2024, City Council Agenda
On a parallel track, the City’s Employee Benefits Committee held a series of meetings to
review alternatives and provide critical feedback. The Benefits Committee comprises
representatives from each City operating department and the library. One key component of
the Benefits Committee discussions included results of a comprehensive employee benefits
survey conducted over the summer. The survey results indicated the following concerns:
•Confusion regarding plan benefits
•Frustration with the plan administrator in processing claims
•Desire for changes in plan design options
Through this rigorous process, City staff identified the Intergovernmental Personnel Benefit
Cooperative (IPBC) as the best option for the City and its employees. As an established
cooperative serving 162 Illinois local governments, IPBC offers a business model that enhances
employee experience, mitigates the risks associated with the City's self-insured program, and
retains flexibility in plan design. Membership in IPBC provides greater cost stability, competitive
rates, collective risk-sharing, and enhanced customer service through dedicated claims
support and IPBC administration support.
The City’s current self-funded medical and dental plan, along with insured life insurance,
transplant coverage, and stop-loss reinsurance, carries fluctuating costs. By joining IPBC, the
City aims to achieve more predictable healthcare costs, improved administrative efficiency,
and access to extensive provider networks. On September 16, 2024, the City Council
authorized the City joining IPBC effective January 1, 2025.
The transition to IPBC brings several key benefits to the City and its employees:
The City will gain access to enhanced services offered by IPBC, such as benefit enrollment
services, employee assistance programs, wellness programs, and virtual visits for non-emergent
medical needs. These services contribute to the overall well-being of employees while
reducing administrative burdens. IPBC membership also includes dedicated administrative
support, vendor management, claims processing assistance, and wellness reimbursements for
biometric screenings and flu shots, all of which support improved employee health.
The City will offer multiple plan options, including an HSA with a high-deductible plan, a
Traditional PPO, and an HMO. Each option meets different employee needs, such as the
simplicity of the HMO with no deductibles or the long-term financial benefits of the HSA
through tax-free contributions. The new four-tier structure for medical, dental, and vision plans
will allow for more precise pricing, benefiting employees nearing retirement by making
premiums for single-plus-spouse coverage more affordable.
Employees will benefit from improved health plan options, including broader network access,
enhanced mental health support, better vision and dental plans, and more comprehensive
EAP services. These enhancements offer more tailored plan designs, greater flexibility, and
additional coverage choices that were previously unavailable.
Administrative support from the IPBC partnership will alleviate some of the workload on City
staff, allowing for more efficient plan management and better employee experiences. This
includes improved claims handling, customer service, and HR support.
Finally, the expected cost savings from the transition include lower employee premiums,
reduced administrative costs, and long-term savings from risk-sharing in a larger pool. The
4

predictability and stability in health plan expenses moving forward will benefit both the City
and its employees.
PROJECT REVIEW/RECOMMENDATIONS:
Reviewed Date Comments
Administration (PCA) 10/09/24 Council approval plan designs for
City Council 9/16/24
PCA Committee 9/12/24
BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT:
Transition Health Plan Services to IPBC Including Medical, Dental, and Vision Provider
Partnerships:
•Medical: The City will transition to Blue Cross Blue Shield through IPBC for medical
insurance, offering three plan options: a High-Deductible Health Plan (HDHP) PPO with
an HSA, a Traditional PPO, and an HMO. These options provide employees with greater
flexibility and choice in their healthcare coverage. The new four-tier plan structure
allows for more precise pricing, making retiree premiums at the single-plus-spouse level
more affordable.
As part of IPBC, the City benefits from the cooperative’s purchasing power; additionally,
IPBC's risk model provides predictable premiums by sharing higher-cost claims among
all members, ensuring more effective cost management. This model ensures that claims
below a certain threshold are paid by individual members while higher-cost claims are
shared among all members. This structure protects the City against catastrophic claims
and enables better cost-sharing for mid-range claims, leading to predictable
budgeting for healthcare expenses. The potential savings from this transition will
depend on employee plan selections, as each option offers a different cost-benefit
structure. While preliminary estimates have been made, the actual savings may
fluctuate based on final employee enrollments.
•Dental: The City will transition to Delta Dental through the Intergovernmental Personnel
Benefit Cooperative (IPBC). Delta Dental offers a network of providers, but employees
will have the flexibility to use any dentist they prefer, similar to the City’s current dental
insurance structure.
The dental plan’s benefit structure remains unchanged from the previous plan, ensuring
that employees can continue receiving the same level of coverage. Employees will
also have the option to retain their current dentists if they prefer, limiting the transition's
overall impact. The flexibility provided by IPBC's plan design allows the City to offer
competitive pricing while maintaining continuity in employee dental care.

Monday, October 21, 2024, City Council Agenda
•Vision: The City’s previous vision plan was included as part of the medical insurance,
offering employees a set allowance of $300 per year for any eligible vision services
without a designated network. Employee feedback from the benefits survey indicated
a desire for a more streamlined, industry-standard vision plan.
To address this, the City will transition to VSP (Vision Service Plan) through IPBC, providing
enhanced services, savings opportunities, and quality care. VSP offers an extensive
provider network, allowing employees to save more by using in-network services.
Employees will still have the flexibility to go out-of-network, but greater savings will be
realized with in-network providers.
•Prescription Plan (Rx): The City will transition prescription services to Express Scripts
through IPBC. As an industry leader in pharmacy benefits management, Express Scripts
provides efficient and cost-effective prescription solutions. This partnership enhances
the City’s ability to manage pharmacy costs while ensuring reliable access to
medications through a trusted provider.
•Health Savings Account (HSA), Flex Plan Administration, Affordable Care Act (ACA)
Reporting and COBRA administration will be provided through IPBC by WEX.
ComPsych EAP (Employee Assistance Program): Staff recommends the EAP benefit with IPBC
supplement our current EAP offering. There is a growing need for mental health and support
services, and the industry has seen a significant increase in demand while experiencing a
decrease in the availability of specialists. The City is implementing an EAP through IPBC to
better serve employees and first responders. This plan provides up to 8 sessions per issue for
employees and their family members, covering in-person or tele-behavioral health
assessments, referral counseling, and brief treatment. It also includes work-life services,
computerized cognitive behavioral therapy (CCBT), and well-being coaching.
The EAP also includes a first responder-specific portion designed to cater to the unique needs
of those in emergency and high-stress roles. This includes intake and triage, annual mental
health assessments, and access to a network specializing in trauma and PTSD. These resources
align with the requirements of Public Act 101-652.
•$1.61 Per Employee Per Month (PEPM) - EAP Services
•$2.15 PEPM - First Responder Program
Transition to Securian for Group and Voluntary Supplemental Life Insurance: The City will
participate in the IPBC life insurance option through Securian, leveraging group discounts for
significant savings. The Securian Group Term Life and AD&D Insurance program offers
competitive rates and customizable coverage for employees and their families. The City
currently provides $50,000 in basic life insurance for all full-time employees and 1x salary for
sworn police and fire personnel. The IPBC plan will match this coverage at a combined rate of
$0.123 per $1,000, compared to the current rate of $0.173 per $1,000, resulting in cost savings.
The voluntary supplemental life insurance plan through IPBC offers enhanced benefits,
allowing employees to elect up to $300,000 in supplemental life coverage, with spouse
coverage up to $50,000 and child coverage up to $20,000. The IPBC plan eliminates age
reductions, providing improved and cost-effective options for employees seeking additional
financial protection for their families.

Retain Asset Health services for Think Healthy Wellness Program: Staff recommends renewing
the contract for wellness services through Asset Health, a leading wellness technology provider
and administration for 1 million members, including Fortune 500 companies. Asset Health offers
consulting, online administration, wellness activities, and educational programs. The services
meet expectations for reduced staff time in administration, improved communication, and
education resources available to participants while reducing health cost growth over time.
The service has been well received by employees and is actively managed through our
Employee Wellness Committee. Through reporting from Asset Health and the City’s health
plan, we have observed that costs may trend lower than other employers through reduced
utilization. Results suggest the City continues to see positive behavioral change and lower
health plan utilization, particularly for drugs, compared to other plans. Given the widespread
participation and unique features beyond IPBC's offerings, staff recommends retaining the
service this year. The program will be evaluated and compared with IPBC's offerings, and its
effectiveness will continue to be assessed.
•$30,000 for Calendar Year 2025
Retain Benistar Medicare Supplement and Part D Plans as Retiree Benefit: Retain Benistar
Medicare Supplement and Part D Plans as Retiree Benefit Retain Benistar Medicare
Supplement and Part D Plans as Retiree Benefit Effective since 2018, the City makes available
a separate fully insured Retiree Medical and Drug program for retirees eligible for Medicare
through Benistar. Retirees pay 100% of the cost. The City provides billing remittance and
Benistar provides customer service and coordination of a Harford Medicare Supplement Plan,
and an Express Scripts Part D prescription drug plan. This policy is less costly for retirees over 65
and is fully insured, so the City has no liability. The plans are subject to annual Medicare
Supplement and Part D Drug Coverage cost adjustments. The Part D Premium is guaranteed
for three years until December 2026. Staff recommends continuing to offer this coverage.
Retain Professional Benefit Administrators (PBA) for Current Plan Run Out Costs: The City of Lake
Forest will transition from the self-insured medical plan to IPBC on January 1, 2025. During the
transition, Professional Benefit Administrators (PBA) will process run-out claims for medical and
dental services during a six-month run-out period to align with our current plan design
requirements. Claims incurred through December 31, 2024, will be processed up until June 30,
2025, to ensure all outstanding claims are handled properly.
The City will continue to incur administrative fees for PBA services during the run-out period. This
includes claims administration fees at the current per-employee-per-month (PEPM) rates for
both medical and dental plans for the first three months, followed by a fee of $25 per claim for
the remaining months of the run-out period. The city will be responsible for a 4-month access
fee for CIGNA.

Symetra Stop Loss Run Out Costs: The City’s current stop-loss policy with Symetra includes an
optional Terminal Liability coverage and Optum Health for Transplant coverage, which
extends for three months. This coverage ensures that claims incurred in 2024 but paid through
March 31, 2025, are covered, maintaining financial protection for high-cost claims during the
transition.
•$174,781.44 - Symetra Stop Loss Premiums
Retiree HRA Administration for Over 65 Employees: The City will convert its current HRA plan to
ensure that retirees over age 65 continue to have access to a limited-purpose HRA for eligible
insurance premiums, aligning with the existing plan design. This limited-purpose HRA will be
administered separately by Professional Benefit Administrators (PBA) and will allow retirees to
submit for reimbursement of qualified medical expenses, including Medicare Part B premiums
and other supplemental insurance costs. The administrative cost for maintaining the limited-
purpose HRA for retirees over 65 will be $10 per employee per month (PEPM).

STAFF CONTACT: Todd Nahigian, CROYA Manager 810-3982
PURPOSE AND ACTION REQUESTED: The CROYA Staff is recommending approval of a contract
with Camp Nageela Midwest, dba Camp Henry Horner in the amount of $34,000.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: CROYA High School weekend Retreats date back to 1987 with
over 5,000 high school students attending over 35 years. CROYA youth and staff consider the
Retreats the most meaningful and impactful programs CROYA provides. Camp Henry Horner in
Ingleside, IL, provides the highest quality experience while maintaining reliability. CROYA
began attending Camp Henry Horner in Fall, 2016. Their facilities, location, service quality,
price and overall experience are a great fit for CROYA. The Camp Henry Horner staff is
accessible and responsive to our needs. The total cost of the two annual retreats will be
approximately $34,000.
BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT: CROYA currently charges students $200 each to attend a
Retreat. Revenue for the 2 Retreats during this fiscal year is estimated to be $32,000.

5.Approval of a Public Works Committee Recommendation to Authorize the City
Manager to Execute all Required Permanent Easement Acquisition Documents for
the Deerpath Streetscape Project to Include the Potential Purchase of Needed
Easements in an Amount not to Exceed $54,700
STAFF CONTACT: Byron Kutz, Superintendent of Engineering (810-3555)
PURPOSE AND ACTION REQUESTED: The Public Works Committee and City staff requests City
Council authorize the City Manager to execute all required permanent easement acquisition
documents for the Deerpath Streetscape Project to Include the potential purchase of
necessary easements in an amount not to exceed $54,700. Permanent Sidewalk easements
are necessary to construct sidewalk improvements along Deerpath Road as the property line
for ten parcels extends into the sidewalk areas.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: In early 2025, the City plans to begin construction of the Deerpath
Streetscape Project. The first phase of the project will be from mid-January to the end of
9
Monday, October 21, 2024, City Council Agenda
March 2025. A water main under Deerpath Road, east of Green Bay Road to west of Western
Avenue, will be replaced. Following the completion of the water main construction, the
second phase of streetscape improvements will begin. These streetscape improvements will
occur on Deerpath Road from Oakwood Avenue to Western Avenue. The second phase of
construction is anticipated to begin in early April 2025 and all project construction is estimated
to be completed in mid-October 2025.
The project aims to improve pedestrian safety, update aging infrastructure, enhance plantings
and greenery, and incorporate more decorative elements along Deerpath Road. Plans for
the Deerpath Streetscape Project have been underway for years, dating back to preliminary
conversations with the Civic Beautification Committee in 2016. More detailed project
information can be found on the City’s project webpage at
www.cityoflakeforest.com/deerpathstreetscape.
There are a total ten parcels in which the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) design
process requires easements to be acquired and certified by November 25, 2024 in order for
the project to be placed out to bid by the State for the January 17, 2025 letting. The necessary
easement areas extend from building faces into existing sidewalk areas that range from 0.5
feet to 7 feet. There are six properties that are anticipated to be donated by the property
owner. The remaining four parcels that have not yet been donated or secured total to an
estimated appraisal value of $54,700. Staff is working with the City’s Attorney Office for the
permanent easement agreement language. The required appraisals have been completed
and approved by IDOT. The City’s consultants can now negotiate acquiring these easements.
To comply with federal laws and IDOT policies the City is required to fairly compensate
property owners based on the fair market value of the easement areas. If sidewalk easements
are not acquired, then the new decorative sidewalk would only be constructed up to the
property line with the old existing sidewalk from there to the building faces.
Approval of this item will authorize the City Manager to 1) Approve the purchase of remaining
permanent easement areas in an amount not to exceed $54,700 2) Execute final agreements
and all required IDOT forms.
PROJECT REVIEW/RECOMMENDATIONS:
Reviewed Date Comments
Public Works Committee 10/7/2024
City Council 9/3/24
BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT: While there are no allocated FY2025 funds to support the purchase of
these easements, the FY2026 proposed Capital Fund budget provided for Deerpath
Streetscape Project construction in the amount of $4,350,000 (this total will likely increase as
part of the October 2025 Capital Improvement Program budget updates). Should City Council
need to approve this request for FY25, the FY26 budget will be reduced by the $54,700 to
accommodate the needed easement purchases The amount exceeding budget will be
funded from Capital Fund reserves. If necessary, a FY25 supplemental appropriation will be
submitted for City Council approval at the close of the current fiscal year.

PURPOSE AND ACTION REQUESTED: City staff request City Council approve of a purchase of a
replacement Forestry Section stump grinder to Alexander Equipment Co. Inc. in the amount of
$105,316 and the trade-in of 2005 stump grinder as surplus property to Alexander Equipment
Co. Inc. in the amount of $7,500.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: The Forestry Section stump grinder is a very important piece of
equipment in removing public tree stumps for landscape restoration and new tree planting.
This recommended purchase will replace their existing stump grinder that has been in service
and utilized by the Forestry Section since 2005. This stump grinder has accrued over 1,700
operating hours. After 19 years of in-service operation, the equipment has exceeded its
estimated useful life. The most significant concerns with the stump grinder include severe rust
and corrosion, electrical and wiring issues, and engine issues with oil consumption and the
speed governor. Going on 20 years of service, this piece of equipment has gone above and
beyond its estimated useful life and needs to be replaced.
City staff is also seeking the approval to trade-in the existing stump grinder for a total of $7,500.
Per Administrative Directive 3-2, any identified surplus property item that has a current value of
$4,000 or more requires City Council approval to trade-in. City staff have reviewed the trade-in
offer in detail and has assessed the $7,500 trade-in value as fair.

7.Consideration of a Recommendation from the Plan Commission in Support of a Plat
of Condominium for a building under construction at 1095 Kelmscott Way.
(Approval by Motion)
STAFF CONTACT: Catherine Czerniak,
Director of Community Development (810-3504)
PURPOSE AND ACTION REQUESTED: Consideration of a recommendation from the Plan Commission
for approval of a plat of condominium for the final multi-family building in the Kelmscott Park
development. The plat, once approved and recorded, will allow each of the 12 units in the building
now under construction to be held in separate ownerships and will identify common areas and
limited common areas.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: In April 2016, the City Council approved the overall Kelmscott
Park development on the northwest corner of Laurel and Western Avenues, the former site of
the City’s Municipal Services Facility. The overall development includes three apartment
buildings all of which are completed and occupied, twelve single family homes ten of which
are complete and occupied with the final two nearing completion, and two condominium
buildings the first of which is completed and occupied. The plat now before the Commission is
for the second and final condominium building in the Kelmscott development.

Monday, October 21, 2024, City Council Agenda
The City Code requires that any development that creates parcels or units that will be held in
separate ownerships must be approved through a public process and documented with a
recorded plat. The plat of condominium as recommended by the Plan Commission delineates
each unit and identifies common and limited common areas. A Declaration of Covenants and
Bylaws for the condominium units will be recorded with the property as required by State
Statute.
No changes to the previously approved development are proposed or authorized through the
approval of the plat of condominium. If approved by the Council, the plat will be recorded
with the County which will allow the sales of the units to proceed. All of the units are under
contract and closings on several of the units is anticipated in the near future.
The Plan Commission held a public hearing on October 9, 2024, to consider the plat of
condominium. No public comment was offered. The Plan Commission voted 6 to 0 to
recommend approval of the plat of condominium to the City Council. The Plan Commission’s
report and a copy of the plat are included in the Council packet beginning on page 30.
