Public Commentary:

Mayor Lentz noted that this public commentary is for topics other than the recent flooding, adding that residents will be given a chance to speak about flooding after Public Works & Engineering Director Boeche's Flood Incident Update.

Mayor Lentz opened the floor to public commentary.

Nadine Mihaljevic addressed the Board regarding The Office Clubhouse, specifically mentioning parking issues given the possible number of people working there each day. She noted that there are only four parking spaces on Ridgeland and that employees of businesses along Laramie Street already use those spaces. She shared photos of the parking situation and also mentioned a dilapidated fence from a previous business improvement. She expressed concerns about property values in her residential neighborhood that is beginning to look like an industrial area.

Arlene Doran, 1027 Lomond Drive, described her frustration with ravine restoration following street improvements. She stated that a "beautiful native area" was promised by the Village in exchange for temporary easement for construction and showed pictures of the proposed design. She declared that noxious giant ragweed has now taken over the area and is close to going to seed, describing USDA warnings regarding hay fever and skin irritations. She shared her opinion that it was brought in as a result of Copenhaver Construction failing to follow best practices by washing equipment. She stated that she has emailed a trustee twice and demanded that the Village take action.

Mayor Lentz explained that he walks by the ravine area frequently and stated that the tall plants appear to be interspersed evenly as if there by design. He asked if it could be part of the seed mix and inquired if Ms. Doran is certain it's giant ragweed. Ms. Doran confirmed that she has had it identified by experts and stressed that such an invasive plant would never be included in any landscape plan. Mayor Lentz assured Ms. Doran that staff will investigate.

Luke Emde expressed concerns regarding The Office Clubhouse parking issues due to the proximity to his house. He expressed gratitude that proposals for alcohol and outside smoking have been dropped and noted that he can support the project provided the shortage of parking places is addressed.

Joe Schwan referenced an August 10 Daily Herald article regarding the state of Illinois imposing a 2% tax on municipalities' sales tax collection and inquired about any actions planned given the effect on the Village's budget. Mayor Lentz stated that he has made it clear to state representatives that the Village strongly opposes this. Administrator Lobaito explained that this is a 2% administrative fee for the processing of sales tax and that the State also reduced income tax receipts by 10%. He added that the two actions combined will cost the Village just under $300,000 in 12 months. Mayor Lentz encouraged residents to contact state representatives.

Mayor Lentz closed the floor to public commentary.

Presentations/Awards:

July 12, 2017, Flood Incident Update-

Public Works & Engineering Director Boeche stated that staff investigated and followed up on residents’ comments at the July 24 meeting and now seek to educate the Board on findings, adding that the focus has been on the outfall area of Division and Lake where 85 structures were impacted.

He showed maps that detail tributary drainage areas specific to the Seavey Drainageway, explaining that water from 1200 acres heads into one 54" pipe at Division and Lake. He also showed the Village's network of pipes that carry the water to this 54" pipe. He then mentioned the confluence between Village and State of Illinois pipes at Division & Lake, as well as another 54" pipe at the viaduct on Courtland, which receives water from 1400 acres. Director Boeche then displayed a map which shows a small ponding area on Wellington and by contrast, the large area near Division where the water basically has nowhere to go. Director Boeche stressed that attempts to keep this area drained in the future must take into account the downstream impact, stressing that water must be stored and released at a slow rate.

Trustee Black asked if IDOT's effect on Route 45 can be calculated and Director Boeche replied affirmatively.

Trustee Rekus noted that residents report this type of flooding happens frequently, even during lesser rainfalls. Director Boeche stated that input from long-time residents has been helpful, adding that he can't speak to maintenance decades ago. He acknowledged that even lesser rainfall events are more troublesome in the fall due to leaves.

Trustee Semple asked if the studies will 1) look at feeder lines to Division and Lake, 2) consider the possibility of wetland detention on the US Music property and 3) look at proposed Seavey improvements. Director Boeche replied that the US Music and Seavey situations will be considered, but explained that that feeder lines outside of the Division/Lake area are not included.

Trustee Rekus inquired about drainage of the Seavey and Director Boeche stated that it drains into Big Bear Lake north of the Cuneo Museum. He stressed again that the volume and release of water must be controlled to avoid creating problems downstream.

Trustee Meier noted numerous sewer backups in her neighborhood and asked if backup check valves in some houses just "move the problem" along. Director Boeche provided an explanation of the sanitary sewer system, expressing hope that the studies will provide answers.

Mayor Lentz requested a timeline for completion of the studies and Director Boeche replied that they should be done by the end of the year. He explained that the studies will result in an "À la carte" menu of solutions, with design of any selected plans to come afterwards.

Administrator Lobaito concluded the discussion by stressing that resident input is important and that the Village will reach out and host an open house for residents.

Pete Decaluwe stated that detention ponds he saw during the July flood incident resembled waterfalls, asking how size and depth are determined and inquiring about their efficiency. Director Boeche explained the history, design, and code requirements of detention ponds. He also discussed the various methods of testing and analyzing the inflow and infiltration of the sanitary sewer system (televised inspection and lining of pipes to control infiltration).

Carol O'Reilly, 200 North Lake Street, asked if she was correct in understanding that $2-$3 million will be required to keep residents safe. Director Boeche clarified that he did not mean to imply that, adding that the studies being undertaken will provide financial estimates. Ms. O'Reilly asked the Board to make an effort to find the necessary funding to protect residents.

Dan Howard, 245 North Garfield, stated that he has been a resident since 1980 and has experienced flooding every 3-4 years. He suggested that an old culvert which flows to the Seavey Drainageway is the problem and provided a map showing said culvert. Director Boeche confirmed that the culvert will be taken into consideration.

Stephanie Smith-Howard thanked the Board for listening to residents and Public Safety Director Guenther for addressing a specific situation. She noted that she wants to work with the Village to find a solution to the flooding problem.

Christina Oatt-Gold, 225 North Ridgemoor, stated that she has had no contact from FEMA or any agency regarding flood damage relief. She detailed her financial losses and pleaded with the Board to avoid merely focusing on the Garfield, Lincoln and Division area, stressing that she wants a commitment that the entire area (Route 45 all the way to Midlothian) will be studied. Director Boeche confirmed that Ms. Oatt-Gold's neighborhood will be included, describing the scope of the study as Midlothian to Courtland (west-east) and Hawley-Courtland (north-south).

Tony Baade, Loch Lomond resident since 1950, asserted that nothing has been done to improve flooding in Mundelein and demanded that the Village act now. He noted that the Western Slopes neighborhood has no detention ponds and suggested that both Memorial Park and the US Music property could be dug out and used to store water.

Mayor's Report:

Mundelein Community Days 2018 Proposed Dates

Motion to concur with the proposed dates of June 28, 29, 30 and July 1 for the 2018 Mundelein Community Days festival.

Trustee Black noted that the same schedule (June 28-July 1) was used in 2012 and inquired about the results. Mundelein Community Days Commission Chairman Lappe stated that money was lost that year.

Chairman Lappe listed benefits to having the fireworks on July 1:

1) A better price for fireworks

2) Avoids extending the celebration to 5 days, which would occur if fireworks were held on July 4th. He explained that the cost per day to the Village is approximately $30,000 and questioned if those additional funds can be found, adding that the traditional 4-day festival normally just breaks even.

3) Residents can attend fireworks in other municipalities on July 2nd, 3rd or 4th.

Trustee Abernathy asked if the celebration could be held the weekend after the 4th of July instead of before and Chairman Lappe noted the need to consider scheduling carnival rides.

Trustee Rekus asked if an additional $30,000 is the only need if a 5th day were to be considered. Chairman Lappe explained that planning activities and entertainment would also be required, and noted difficulty in finding enough volunteers.

Trustee Semple also mentioned Police and Fire overtime expenses for a 5th day and stated that the restaurants who participate in the Munch are already stretched covering four days.

Trustee Abernathy noted that the proposed schedule would result in Village employees being able to spend the 4th of July with their families.

Trustees Abernathy and Semple gave their support to following Chairman Lappe's recommendation.

Trustee Meier stated that CERT would be hard pressed to cover a fifth day. She also requested that the Village begin publicizing next year's Community Days schedule as soon as possible.

Trustee Reports:

Community and Economic Development Committee (Abernathy, Russell, Vacant)-

Office Clubhouse - 914 North Lake Street - Variations (Ordinance No. 17-08-34)

Motion to pass an Ordinance granting a Variation from Table 20.36-3 of Section 20.36.040(A)(1) granting relief from ground floor transparency requirements.

Trustee Rekus requested an overview of the changes to the proposal since the original presentation. Lawrence Goodwin explained that he has scaled back all the controversial features (a bar, outside smoking, event planning and a banquet facility) and is now just focusing on the co-working facility. He added that ADA bathrooms and a ramp are planned, as well as cleaning up the sidewalk and general outside appearance.

Chairman Abernathy asked if Mr. Goodwin has spoken to neighboring businesses regarding parking. Mr. Goodwin replied that the commercial footprint has been reduced, which results in fewer parking places needed. Community Development Director Orenchuk confirmed that parking requirements have been met. Mr. Goodwin added that the second floor will now be a small apartment with parking for one car in the rear.

Trustee Rekus asked about the number of work stations and Mr. Goodwin replied that it will be 15. Trustee Rekus expressed concerns about the possibility of 15 cars.

BIG Grant - Office Clubhouse, 914 North Lake Street (Resolution No. 17-08-51)

Motion to adopt a Resolution Approving a Business Incentive Grant Relating to Interior and Exterior Improvements for The Office Clubhouse at 914 N. Lake Street, Mundelein, Illinois, in an amount not to exceed $38,708 under the Mundelein Economic Development Incentive Program.

Trustee Rekus requested information on the BIG program. Director Orenchuk explained that a business can receive a total of two grants for up to $25,000 each (one interior, one exterior). Mr. Goodwin stated that a large portion of the grant is for the addition of the ADA bathrooms and ramp, plus plumbing, electrical and landscaping.

Trustee Rekus inquired about the vision for landscaping and Mr. Goodwin explained that he plans to upgrade the façade with stone, clean up the rear area and create a shield for neighbors.

Trustee Semple asked how this grant amount compares to those awarded to other businesses and Director Orenchuk stated that both Tina G's and Mambo Italiano received about $50,000 each, adding that she was not prepared to detail the full list. Trustee Semple commented that those businesses are restaurants that bring in customers, questioning The Office Clubhouse's benefit to the Village as far as sales tax revenue or job creation. Chairman Abernathy interjected that the BIG program doesn't stipulate such criteria and Trustee Semple replied that perhaps it should. He expressed an interest in "reeling in the criteria," commenting that the Village is not obligated to bail out business owners, especially when the business is not in the downtown area. Director Orenchuk confirmed that the decision is up to the Board, but stated that this grant fits the current parameters of the BIG program, which is meant to incentivize exterior improvements and upgrade buildings to decrease vacancies within the Village.

Trustee Meier sought confirmation that there are only four regular parking spaces in front (five total with one handicapped spot) and that the one parking place in the rear will be for the renter and Mr. Goodwin replied affirmatively. He added, however, that the 15 work stations will not always be at capacity. Director Orenchuk stated that the number of parking spaces and use are in compliance with code based on the square footage of an office-type building.

Trustee Rekus commented that the area is basically residential and admonished Mr. Goodwin to consider aesthetics and landscaping of the property, which is a northern gateway to the Village.

Chairman Abernathy suggested revisiting the parameters of the BIG program, perhaps during Strategic Planning sessions in the fall.
