Thank you.

11
00:01:05,050 --> 00:01:10,170
Next, we have the minutes from the October 21st, 2025 Board of Trustees meeting.

12
00:01:10,290 --> 00:01:16,170
Would any trustees like to suggest amendments to those minutes, or do I have a motion to approve?

13
00:01:16,170 --> 00:01:17,510
I'd like to have steam.

14
00:01:18,130 --> 00:01:19,110
Thank you, Trustee Blan.

15
00:01:19,990 --> 00:01:20,910
Motion approved?

16
00:01:22,030 --> 00:01:25,370
Motion from Trustee DeBony with a second from Trustee Jones.

17
00:01:25,410 --> 00:01:27,930
All those in favor please signify by saying aye.

18
00:01:28,090 --> 00:01:28,530
Aye.

19
00:01:28,850 --> 00:01:29,610
All those opposed?

20
00:01:30,370 --> 00:01:31,990
And one abstention from Trustee Blan.

21
00:01:35,930 --> 00:01:38,010
That brings us to the report of the village president.

22
00:01:38,730 --> 00:01:39,510
Veterans Day.

23
00:01:40,110 --> 00:01:43,610
The village will pay tribute to our nation's veterans at the annual Veterans Day

24
00:01:43,610 --> 00:01:47,350

25
00:01:47,350 --> 00:01:51,070

26
00:01:52,030 --> 00:01:55,170

Leath Collection

29
00:02:01,110 --> 00:02:06,550
A reminder to residents not to rake leaves into the street this fall and keep gutters and sewer drains clear.

30
00:02:07,270 --> 00:02:14,150
Throughout November there is no limit on the number of bags of leaves that seasonal yard waste subscribers can put out weekly for pickup,

31
00:02:14,150 --> 00:02:17,870
or for residents who purchase stickers for each landscape bag.

32
00:02:18,510 --> 00:02:22,770
Another option to bagging or composting leaves is to shred them with a mulching mower

33
00:02:22,770 --> 00:02:24,510
and leave them to decompose.

34
00:02:25,230 --> 00:02:30,150
More info is online at Glendview.is.us forward slash composting.

00:02:31,770 --> 00:02:33,090

37
00:02:38,210 --> 00:02:41,530

00:02:41,530 --> 00:02:47,490

89
00:07:11,830 --> 00:07:17,830
Thank you. Well done. Would any trustee like to remove an item from the consent agenda

90
00:07:17,830 --> 00:07:22,070
for further discussion or do I have a motion for approval?

91
00:07:24,830 --> 00:07:28,570
Motion to approve. Second motion from

92
00:07:28,570 --> 00:07:30,810
Trustee Sedoti, with a second from Trustee Deboni,

93
00:07:30,810 --> 00:07:32,350
let's get a roll call vote, please.

94
00:07:32,850 --> 00:07:33,530
Trustee Cooper?

95
00:07:34,090 --> 00:07:34,890
Trustee Deboni?

96
00:07:35,250 --> 00:07:36,130
Trustee Jones?

97
00:07:36,690 --> 00:07:37,490
Trustee Sedoti?

98
00:07:37,730 --> 00:07:38,070
Yes.

99
00:07:38,070 --> 00:07:38,710
Trustee Bland?

100
00:07:38,890 --> 00:07:39,190
Yes.

101
00:07:39,730 --> 00:07:40,230
Motion carries.

102
00:07:40,370 --> 00:07:41,090
Thank you.

103
00:07:41,410 --> 00:07:43,950
That brings us to old business of which we have none.

104
00:07:44,390 --> 00:07:50,230
And moving along to new business, item 11A, consideration of a resolution,

105
00:07:50,610 --> 00:07:53,250
approving a purchase and sale agreement between the village of Glenview and

106
00:07:53,250 --> 00:08:01,330
signode industrial group LLC for the signode property at 3,63700 West Lake Avenue, good evening.

107
00:08:03,410 --> 00:08:04,230
Thank you, President Jenny.

108
00:08:05,990 --> 00:08:09,710
All right, so before we get into the particulars of the purchase and sale agreement,

109
00:08:09,950 --> 00:08:15,290
thought it would be helpful to kind of provide the board and the public and overview of this opportunity

110
00:08:16,170 --> 00:08:18,850
and see what's being considered tonight.

111
00:08:19,230 --> 00:08:22,730
So, going to go through here's a little flyover.

112
00:08:22,730 --> 00:08:23,050
All

113
00:08:28,290 --> 00:08:32,090
right, so this is the subject property we're looking at from a drone shot.

114
00:08:32,590 --> 00:08:38,690
It's formerly the signode industrial campus at 363600 to 3700 West Lake Avenue.

115
00:08:39,270 --> 00:08:44,930
In total, it's 56 acres, it's bounded on the south by West Lake Avenue, and there's also

116
00:08:44,930 --> 00:08:47,850
a village, a pump station that's just on the south end of the property.

117
00:08:48,550 --> 00:08:54,170
On the west side is Finxton, that's adjacent to Glenbrook, south high school, and then

118
00:08:54,170 --> 00:08:55,450
also the Glenbrook hospital.

119
00:08:55,450 --> 00:08:59,670
On the east side is the railroad tracks, and then on the north side is the Glen Lake

120
00:08:59,670 --> 00:09:04,190
State's Neighborhood, which is bound by Glen Lake Drive to the north.

121
00:09:05,110 --> 00:09:09,330
This property represents one of the largest redevelopment opportunities that we have within

122
00:09:09,330 --> 00:09:10,570
the village's limits.

123
00:09:11,730 --> 00:09:17,590
This property has been actively on the market since 2020, and vacant since 2022, when

124
00:09:17,590 --> 00:09:21,130
signodes ceased its industrial operations on this site.

125
00:09:22,170 --> 00:09:26,450
If the purchase and sale agreement is approved tonight by the village board, the village would

126
00:09:26,450 --> 00:09:31,030
look to partner with the Glenview Park District, another local taxing bodies to guide the

127
00:09:31,030 --> 00:09:36,710
site's redevelopment, the long-term master planning, and then the transformation of this area

128
00:09:36,710 --> 00:09:41,630
into a recreational and open space area for the benefit of the entire community.

129
00:09:42,770 --> 00:09:47,930
While planning remains in the very preliminary stages, the initial concepts for the site could

130
00:09:47,930 --> 00:09:52,990
including transforming it into a multi-faceted recreational space, potentially including things

131
00:09:52,990 --> 00:09:59,610
such as playgrounds, athletic fields, sports facilities, rocket sports, various parks,

132
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:17,000
Councils, natural areas, and open space locations. The village would ultimately front the cost of the purchase that being 23.3, $75 million, and then those costs would be reimbursed by the agencies that redeveloped this 56 acre parcel.

133
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:28,420
It's worth noting that there have been several development concepts considered for this property by interested that residential and industrial developers, since it's been marketed back in 2020.

134
00:10:28,420 --> 00:10:33,340
Those applications were not considered to be in the village's best long-term interest,

135
00:10:33,460 --> 00:10:37,000
and we have a seller that is highly motivated to sell their property,

136
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:41,660
and this is an opportunity that arose for the village to take control of this property,

137
00:10:42,100 --> 00:10:45,620
and control of how it gets ultimately redeveloped.

138
00:10:45,620 --> 00:10:48,460
So that's a bit of an overview of the site.

139
00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:52,500
You can see all of the area from these aerial shots,

140
00:10:52,540 --> 00:10:55,420
and I think I'll dive into some of the background details,

141
00:10:55,420 --> 00:11:03,420
And then also some of the details on the purchase sale agreement as well as the master planning process that would be coming up.

142
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:08,780
So as I mentioned, this is the signode industrial site.

143
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:12,800
Signode is a manufacturer of transit and packaging tools.

144
00:11:13,460 --> 00:11:18,360
They primarily made these items for the industrial shipping and storage market.

145
00:11:19,060 --> 00:11:25,560
Some examples are primarily one of their main products is metal and plastic fasteners.

146
00:11:25,560 --> 00:11:37,940
So the example would be the plastic band that goes around your yard waste bag, those would be the types of equipment and materials that they would produce at this site.

147
00:11:40,020 --> 00:11:47,080
There are three large buildings on the site. So again, to orient the board and the public, this is West Lake Avenue.

148
00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:51,120
In the foreground here, this is finkston.

149
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:53,180
Here's the axis into the site.

150
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:56,120
This is the village's pump station.

151
00:11:56,420 --> 00:11:58,060
That's directly on the hard corner, finkston.

152
00:11:58,260 --> 00:11:58,820
Unless like Avenue.

153
00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:03,560
You have three basic complexes of industrial buildings.

154
00:12:03,620 --> 00:12:05,280
You go one, two, three.

155
00:12:06,220 --> 00:12:08,800
Off of the railroad tracks that are in the distance here.

156
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:12,260
There's a railroad spur that brings in raw materials to the site

157
00:12:12,260 --> 00:12:13,860
or brought raw materials into the site.

158
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:14,920
So there's a railroad spur.

159
00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:31,760
And then the back re-apportion, the northern portion of the site, that is a office building that is the former headquarters of the ITW, prior to then moving to their current location that is at basically Harlem and Gulf Avenue in Glenview.

160
00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:39,580
Additionally, as part of planned improvements, this entire intersection, it's the East Lake

161
00:12:39,580 --> 00:12:45,500
Avenue, West Lake Avenue, thinks that intersection is currently in the design phases to

162
00:12:45,500 --> 00:12:51,020
be completely reconstructed with significant capacity improvements and pedestrian improvements

163
00:12:51,020 --> 00:12:54,500
with that construction program to start in 2028.

164
00:12:55,540 --> 00:13:01,520
So as I mentioned before, this property has been marketed for sales since 2020 and was vacated

165
00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:07,500
in 2022. There were several developers that were interested in doing something with the site,

166
00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:13,820
both in terms of some sort of warehouse distribution, opportunity, or a mix of single

167
00:13:13,820 --> 00:13:20,080
family and multi-family residential on the site. Ultimately, this opportunity, this unique

168
00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:25,160
opportunity, was presented to sign out for the village to purchase the property and convert

169
00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:30,800
this industrial site into a long-term community community. That being focused on the recreational

170
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:34,000
and permanently preserved open space uses that we've talked about,

171
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:35,120
or I talked about it in the beginning.

172
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:40,300
Wanted to go through some of the details of the purchase

173
00:13:40,300 --> 00:13:42,780
and sale agreement, so within the purchase and sale agreement,

174
00:13:43,020 --> 00:13:46,380
our terms by which various actions have to occur.

175
00:13:47,220 --> 00:13:50,480
The purchase price is 23.375 million.

176
00:13:51,060 --> 00:13:53,020
The site is 56 acres.

177
00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:56,700
The earnest money that goes down as part of this purchase

178
00:13:56,700 --> 00:13:58,720
and sale agreement is a half a million dollars.

179
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:05,160
The village has 60 days to go through its due diligence or inspection period, and then

180
00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:10,320
following the completion of the inspection period, there's 30 days to close on the property.

181
00:14:10,980 --> 00:14:14,280
So that would be an anticipated closing in February of 2026.

182
00:14:15,420 --> 00:14:22,460
As part of the inspection period, so included in the resolution for consideration by the

183
00:14:22,460 --> 00:14:27,380
board tonight is a purchase of various studies and surveys that were already commissioned

184
00:14:27,380 --> 00:14:30,680
for the site at a discounted 50% discounted price.

185
00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:35,760
During the inspection period, what would happen is that the villages third party environmental

186
00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:42,400
consultant will review those studies, the studies include a phase 1 study and phase 2 studies

187
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:47,160
plus additional studies to go into some details and some of the things that were found on

188
00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:47,820
the site.

189
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:53,080
Our environmental consultant will review those and evaluate if there's any environmental issues

190
00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:59,940
as well as reviewing in the fastest study to determine what the fastest might be in the building.

191
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:05,480
And might be having to be mitigated as part of the demolition of the structures on the site.

192
00:15:06,060 --> 00:15:13,220
Additionally, as part of the materials to be purchased as an ALTIS survey, so that ALTIS survey is used as part of the closing process.

193
00:15:13,500 --> 00:15:21,980
It basically identifies any easements in all of the buildings on the site with some clarifications on any encumbrances that there might be.

194
00:15:21,980 --> 00:15:37,820
So all of that, that is, are sorry, during the inspection period, the environmental review and any of the other things that are typically reviewed would be handled and evaluated to see if there's any extenduating circumstances with the site.

195
00:15:39,830 --> 00:15:51,550
So then lastly, you might be asking yourself a question as far as all right, so what is this process and figuring out what is going to be or how the site is going to be utilized and what does the timing.

196
00:15:51,550 --> 00:15:59,710
So, the master plan process that's envisioned for the site, it is very similar to what occurred

197
00:15:59,710 --> 00:16:03,390
when there was the redevelopment of the Naval Air Station Glenview.

198
00:16:04,010 --> 00:16:07,090
It would be a public process led by the village.

199
00:16:07,350 --> 00:16:11,450
It's a master planning process and I'll go through some of the details.

200
00:16:13,650 --> 00:16:19,010
The village would coordinate with the Glenview Park District and any other potential partners

201
00:16:19,010 --> 00:16:24,930
on the redevelopment of the site. There would be a identification of the various site constraints,

202
00:16:25,930 --> 00:16:31,510
what might be the potential conceptual uses for the site, and then any of the associated

203
00:16:31,510 --> 00:16:37,530
site amenities that would go with those proposed uses. The potential uses, as I described,

204
00:16:38,390 --> 00:16:45,170
could vary significantly, but potential uses would be public in school, play fields, public sports

205
00:16:45,170 --> 00:16:50,890
courts, institutional accessory and field house buildings, various paths, private sports,

206
00:16:51,250 --> 00:16:56,770
fields or courts and training centers, private retail business businesses that might be

207
00:16:56,770 --> 00:17:02,010
complementary to the area, neighborhood parks, and then dedicated to public open space.

208
00:17:02,890 --> 00:17:09,370
As part of this master planning process, there'd be a sighting of the various potential access

209
00:17:09,370 --> 00:17:14,570
points, probably a couple of different roadway concepts that could be utilized throughout

210
00:17:14,570 --> 00:17:20,350
the site, the associated parking areas, and then how stormwater detention would be handled

211
00:17:20,350 --> 00:17:21,090
on the site.

212
00:17:22,270 --> 00:17:26,430
Throughout the process, there will be opportunities for public input and feedback on the

213
00:17:26,430 --> 00:17:31,450
various concepts from the various public agencies that would either be involved as partners

214
00:17:31,450 --> 00:17:35,490
or in the review process of the various concepts.

215
00:17:36,390 --> 00:17:42,550
An evaluation of the concepts would occur from the standpoint of traffic impacts, fiscal impacts

216
00:17:42,550 --> 00:17:45,950
or any other potential impacts on those various concepts,

217
00:17:46,610 --> 00:17:50,510
ultimately leading to identification of various

218
00:17:50,510 --> 00:17:53,670
developed parcels around the site,

219
00:17:53,830 --> 00:17:56,450
as well as the designation of the potential conceptual

220
00:17:56,450 --> 00:17:57,130
land uses.

221
00:17:59,350 --> 00:18:01,230
So, as you kind of think of a funnel,

222
00:18:01,570 --> 00:18:03,810
as you're in the beginning, what are the site constraints,

223
00:18:03,950 --> 00:18:05,570
and then your funnel narrows a little bit. All right,

224
00:18:05,610 --> 00:18:07,110
so what are the potential opportunities,

225
00:18:07,430 --> 00:18:09,870
and what are the various concepts that you might have for the redevelopment

226
00:18:09,870 --> 00:18:12,810
the site, the funnel kind of, you know, narrows down.

227
00:18:13,310 --> 00:18:17,310
And so ultimately they'll be a preferred concept that comes out of this master plan.

228
00:18:17,750 --> 00:18:24,150
And then that lays out the framework for which of the partners would go into which areas

229
00:18:24,150 --> 00:18:31,250
of the site and what uses might be occupied by those areas, given the pattern of development

230
00:18:31,250 --> 00:18:37,510
that would be recommended, the site configuration of the roadways, the areas where these

231
00:18:37,510 --> 00:18:45,290
uses would have the best adjacencies given the existing conditions that are surrounding this property.

232
00:18:46,210 --> 00:18:52,550
So once that master plan recommendation is approved by the village, the identified users

233
00:18:52,550 --> 00:18:58,530
for the various parcels will negotiate leases with the village at various rates and over time periods

234
00:18:58,530 --> 00:19:03,650
to allow the village to recoup the investment costs for not only the purchasing of the site,

235
00:19:03,650 --> 00:19:06,750
the demolition and any infrastructure that is provided.

236
00:19:07,970 --> 00:19:13,810
The infrastructure would likely include the roadways and then the associated utilities that

237
00:19:13,810 --> 00:19:18,350
would be stubbed to these various parcels for the individual groups to then further

238
00:19:18,350 --> 00:19:19,350
do their developments.

239
00:19:20,290 --> 00:19:25,310
And again, think of a pattern, you could probably think of a road pattern going through the site

240
00:19:25,310 --> 00:19:29,830
in two different ways, and it could be, these uses would make sense in this location given

241
00:19:29,830 --> 00:19:32,310
that road pattern or in a different location.

242
00:19:33,070 --> 00:19:36,850
Those scenarios would be solidified as part of this master planning process.

243
00:19:37,490 --> 00:19:42,490
The infrastructure would be installed, and then the individual groups would come through later,

244
00:19:43,490 --> 00:19:48,150
and they have their own processes that they would have to go through to solidify exactly the details,

245
00:19:48,610 --> 00:19:58,230
you know, taking that concept into a real plan that has all of the specific details with the types of uses and amenities that would be associated with it.

246
00:19:58,230 --> 00:19:59,370
and then

247
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:10,160
Those specific plans would have to go through the typical development regulatory review process in addition to any of the permanent processes that would be out there.

248
00:20:10,300 --> 00:20:21,420
So that would be any of the building and engineering permits that would be required prior to those individual parcels getting developed, utilizing the roadway and infrastructure system that gets installed by the village.

249
00:20:21,420 --> 00:20:28,020
And from a time frame perspective again, with an anticipated closing in February of next year,

250
00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:34,440
there would be the demolition of the structures and the start of the master plan process,

251
00:20:35,120 --> 00:20:40,320
all leading up to the recommended concept of being approved,

252
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:43,540
the negotiation of the lease agreements with the various partners,

253
00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:48,400
and then there's the opportunity, depending on permitting and such,

254
00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:54,580
for mass grading of the site, the infrastructure, the roadways to be constructed, and then the

255
00:20:54,580 --> 00:21:00,180
development parcels would go through their individual regulatory review processes and

256
00:21:00,180 --> 00:21:05,480
permitting process prior to the beginning construction, which could occur likely in the summer

257
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:06,320
of 2027.

258
00:21:08,020 --> 00:21:10,380
With that, staff, there's available to answer any questions.

259
00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:12,300
Thank you, Dr. Brady.

260
00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:18,380
Yeah, if I could just provide a bit of additional context on what I am so related to

261
00:21:18,380 --> 00:21:19,900
to the due diligence material.

262
00:21:20,120 --> 00:21:25,400
So as Director Brady mentioned, included is part of the resolution that would authorize

263
00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:31,460
the purchase of various studies that had been recently completed by a prospective developer

264
00:21:31,460 --> 00:21:36,520
who had the property under contract for purchase and had contemplated a potential residential

265
00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:38,180
development on the property.

266
00:21:38,820 --> 00:21:42,560
So as part of that arrangement, they have offered us to purchase those studies that were recently

267
00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:44,780
completed at a discounted rate.

268
00:21:44,780 --> 00:21:48,640
and so that's the various studies that we would be asking for authorization to purchase.

269
00:21:51,130 --> 00:21:57,350
I'd like to get board feedback and questions at this point who would like to go first,

270
00:21:57,470 --> 00:21:57,890
Dr. Cooper.

271
00:22:01,580 --> 00:22:05,360
Dr. Brady, thank you for that overview. I have two questions.

272
00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:11,960
One is I think residents have had some questions regarding the value of the property,

273
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:19,720
And I think that it's my understanding is that this is a very strong purchase price for us,

274
00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:23,600
very favorable for Glenview, would you be able to touch on that a little bit?

275
00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:25,200
That's correct.

276
00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:35,080
From what the going rates are, or when you were to do an analysis of adjacent parcels that

277
00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:40,460
would be industrial parcels, the village is getting a very good deal with respect to the

278
00:22:40,460 --> 00:22:41,140
purchase price.

279
00:22:42,780 --> 00:22:55,780
Okay, another thing is, there's quite a bit of mention of the park district, open space and what not, you know, it's so close to GBS, which is a little bit landlocked.

280
00:22:56,500 --> 00:23:03,960
District 34's got some needs, perhaps, for their administration building. Would you be able to touch on any of that?

281
00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:07,360
And, like, likelihood that that might fit into this space as well.

282
00:23:07,360 --> 00:23:16,340
Yes, as part of that master planning effort, all various partners would be considered from those public taxing bodies.

283
00:23:17,100 --> 00:23:21,340
As an example from high schools perspective, if you will.

284
00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:35,300
I know at points there's been needs for, is there additional opportunities for sports fields, primarily synthetic sports fields that could be utilized for multiple different sports being close to the high school.

285
00:23:35,300 --> 00:23:40,960
And then vice versa, there's always a significant demand for parking, especially from the students.

286
00:23:41,740 --> 00:23:50,620
And so is there an opportunity to either have parking on the site for the high school or potentially sports fields for the high school.

287
00:23:51,180 --> 00:23:56,660
And then some of the sports fields that might be on the high school's current campus would be converted to parking.

288
00:23:56,840 --> 00:24:02,640
Those are all potential available opportunities as part of the ultimate master planning on the site.

289
00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:08,400
Thank you. I don't have any more questions but I have some more comments on that.

290
00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:09,660
Yeah, please.

291
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:10,500
Oh, do you want to go now?

292
00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:11,360
I don't want to go back.

293
00:24:11,360 --> 00:24:12,440
Go ahead.

294
00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:14,600
Okay. Just a couple of comments.

295
00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:17,800
I think this is pretty exciting.

296
00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:22,820
It's forward thinking to be able to take a big piece of property like this

297
00:24:22,820 --> 00:24:25,520
and really fit it into our community.

298
00:24:26,220 --> 00:24:29,660
There are not a lot of opportunities left to have such a big space.

299
00:24:30,460 --> 00:24:56,740
So, that's pretty exciting, the opportunity to have something of less intensity is appealing to a lot of residents and so I think it gives us as a village a chance to kind of design and work on that as we might want to see fit. So I think this is pretty exciting opportunity and thank you to staff for being proactive to getting us this far in the process.

300
00:24:58,980 --> 00:24:59,960
Thank you.

301
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:09,640
We trust you, Cooper. Trustee Sedori? Thank you. I've just a few questions. The first question, you referenced

302
00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:15,100
it a little bit earlier on the site constraints. Can you give me some examples or give all of us

303
00:25:15,100 --> 00:25:21,840
some examples of what you refer to, specifically when you say site constraints? Sure. So, one of

304
00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:27,920
the first things you would look at is where's the best locations for access points to the site. So,

305
00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:38,520
That's kind of on Finxin or on West Lake, where do you have the access points that maximize the opportunity to use to get in and out of the site and to ease any potential congestion.

306
00:25:39,300 --> 00:25:45,060
So the concept being is you wouldn't want to have those curb cuts into the site being located close to the intersection.

307
00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:51,800
So once you kind of figured out where the optimal access points are, you'd also take a look at other sections of the site.

308
00:25:51,800 --> 00:26:00,220
So for instance, you have an existing lake and pond in these locations that do serve a stormwater

309
00:26:00,220 --> 00:26:04,900
detention and there are some trees that are located in some of these areas.

310
00:26:05,380 --> 00:26:10,260
So you would identify if you're looking to do stormwater detention on the site and you already

311
00:26:10,260 --> 00:26:14,060
have some of those facilities that could provide that stormwater detention, are those

312
00:26:14,060 --> 00:26:17,960
some things that remain in place and then you kind of work around some of those items.

313
00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:25,240
Additionally, you have different types of land uses that are associated with being adjacent to the railroad tracks.

314
00:26:25,780 --> 00:26:29,820
So some of these are industrial sites on the south side or some commercial areas.

315
00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:33,760
This is the village's pump station.

316
00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:38,260
And then you have the Glen Lake Estate's neighborhood on the other side.

317
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:43,360
So what are some good adjacencies that might happen from a land use concept?

318
00:26:43,360 --> 00:26:51,260
You know, might an area up here where you can't, there isn't enough room to have a significant sports field.

319
00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:57,020
But you have the desire to have that sports field amongst the master planning of the site that it won't fit in that location.

320
00:26:57,520 --> 00:27:03,060
Is the use of that area maybe prone to being like a neighborhood park or something along those lines instead of something else?

321
00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:11,300
So you kind of identify those constraints and again it helps to kind of narrow the funnel down to what are the available opportunities to maximize

322
00:27:11,300 --> 00:27:14,380
is the uses for the site.

323
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:16,020
Thank you.

324
00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:19,560
And I understand that we're obviously fairly early in the process, but have we considered

325
00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:24,440
what the public process will look like in terms of gaining that feedback in the master plan

326
00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:25,000
process?

327
00:27:26,300 --> 00:27:31,460
It would look like this schedule of steps that I laid out here.

328
00:27:31,740 --> 00:27:33,440
There'd be a public process.

329
00:27:33,820 --> 00:27:40,090
Obviously, we have to get through some engineering issues as far as sighting where some of

330
00:27:40,090 --> 00:27:42,450
and strengths and identifying some of those,

331
00:27:42,650 --> 00:27:45,650
and then understanding what the partners that will be

332
00:27:45,650 --> 00:27:50,070
as part of this process and what potential needs are

333
00:27:50,070 --> 00:27:54,990
to then bring forth some concepts for public discussion,

334
00:27:55,350 --> 00:27:58,210
which then goes into some site planning and development

335
00:27:58,210 --> 00:28:01,310
of several concepts for feedback to then narrow that down

336
00:28:01,310 --> 00:28:02,950
to something that's ultimately recommended

337
00:28:02,950 --> 00:28:06,370
as part of the master plan concept that would be utilized.

338
00:28:07,010 --> 00:28:08,950
And in the past, we've done sessions here

339
00:28:08,950 --> 00:28:11,850
and in Park Center and things like that in order to gain public feedback.

340
00:28:12,030 --> 00:28:13,010
Will that be part of the process?

341
00:28:13,170 --> 00:28:17,810
Yeah, there can be things where there's, you know, public meetings at the Village Hall,

342
00:28:18,090 --> 00:28:22,210
there's opportunities for open houses and things of that nature to go over what some of the concepts

343
00:28:22,210 --> 00:28:27,550
are into gain feedback on the types of uses that the community wants to see for the site.

344
00:28:28,550 --> 00:28:34,030
And I understand, obviously, there are legal requirements for notification to residents and neighbors

345
00:28:34,030 --> 00:28:37,450
who are directly adjacent to the property beyond those.

346
00:28:37,450 --> 00:28:43,970
How do we plan on providing information to the greater public who's going to have a clear interest

347
00:28:43,970 --> 00:28:50,090
in this would this be using our emails, text message systems, whatever, in order to give

348
00:28:50,090 --> 00:28:53,110
people that as much information as possible, so they're aware of it.

349
00:28:53,190 --> 00:28:56,970
Eagle and View, the newsletter, we'd probably set up a page on our website.

350
00:28:57,890 --> 00:29:03,030
We develop a contact list, so any time that there was an opportunity for public feedback,

351
00:29:03,170 --> 00:29:07,330
we could notify those folks and they could show up or they could provide their feedback.

352
00:29:08,310 --> 00:29:11,330
through the website, we could do all of those items.

353
00:29:12,310 --> 00:29:12,610
Excellent.

354
00:29:13,570 --> 00:29:14,370
Thank you.

355
00:29:14,710 --> 00:29:17,530
I think that's just an important part of this whole process.

356
00:29:17,850 --> 00:29:22,250
It's not just something that's being created in someone's sandbox,

357
00:29:23,170 --> 00:29:24,390
and forced down to everyone else's throws.

358
00:29:24,530 --> 00:29:27,410
I think it's important to be able to feed back into account.

359
00:29:28,430 --> 00:29:30,110
Because there's lots of good ideas out there in the community.

360
00:29:30,310 --> 00:29:31,730
We learn that through the Connect process.

361
00:29:32,870 --> 00:29:38,050
I want to change the direction of the question going more toward the funds that are being

362
00:29:38,050 --> 00:29:41,570
used and how we're purchasing this agreement because I think that's an important part.

363
00:29:42,930 --> 00:29:47,310
So I don't know if we can go into a little bit of detail about where the funds are coming

364
00:29:47,310 --> 00:29:51,370
from and how this was being structured and some of the other ideas that we're being thought

365
00:29:51,370 --> 00:29:54,590
about and why this was the more desirable way to go.

366
00:29:54,590 --> 00:29:56,750
Okay, I will handle that one.

367
00:29:56,750 --> 00:29:57,950
I'll trust you, Sidori.

368
00:29:58,530 --> 00:29:59,970
So the village looked at...

369
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:16,180
Staff looked at a couple of different options, issuing bonds, issuing debt through a loan or using funds on hand, and the most financial, believable and most advantageous method was to use our funds on hand.

370
00:30:16,180 --> 00:30:25,280
So, to use our funds on hand-in-is, trust our director Brady said, subsequently, then negotiating

371
00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:32,660
leases with identified users to recoup our costs, including foregone interests, most

372
00:30:32,660 --> 00:30:35,780
advantageous to use our funds and go through that method.

373
00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:42,860
I could just add, so, just add on, it's not excess funds that we have, we're utilizing

374
00:30:42,860 --> 00:30:47,500
existing fund balance that is part of our fund balance policies for our various different

375
00:30:47,500 --> 00:30:53,780
funds, to borrow money from those funds, and then we will be paying those funds back over

376
00:30:53,780 --> 00:30:54,320
time.

377
00:30:54,860 --> 00:31:01,280
So as Deputy Manager Bose said, it was clearly a cost savings to do it that way and we have

378
00:31:01,280 --> 00:31:03,860
the ability to do that within our fund structure.

379
00:31:05,060 --> 00:31:05,380
Thank you.

380
00:31:05,540 --> 00:31:09,580
I really do appreciate this methodology in the time that it takes to think about it because

381
00:31:09,580 --> 00:31:15,740
I think initially, when we were discussing concepts around here, I think all of us had an

382
00:31:15,740 --> 00:31:19,920
reminder, we're going to have to take out loans and take on additional debt in order to

383
00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:20,840
do that.

384
00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:24,300
So I think this is a really intelligent way and intelligent approach.

385
00:31:25,660 --> 00:31:36,160
I suppose the only question that I would have related to this then is maybe it's more

386
00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:40,220
point of clarification when we say funds, we've talked a lot about the permanent fund.

387
00:31:40,300 --> 00:31:42,820
None of these dollars are coming out of the permanent fund. Is that accurate?

388
00:31:43,540 --> 00:31:49,100
Right now, the current plan is to possibly use five to six million from the permanent

389
00:31:49,100 --> 00:31:54,740
fund, but that is to be decided that could be changed moving forward, but as managed

390
00:31:54,740 --> 00:32:00,680
reform, because that these are all funds that we do currently have available. But then

391
00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:08,580
of 21 funds. It's kind of something I should clarify. 25 funds within the village and this is

392
00:32:08,580 --> 00:32:14,140
probably out of about eight of those funds. It's available fund balance we currently have. We're

393
00:32:14,140 --> 00:32:22,820
looking at more as we're using the funds almost as an investment structure. Thank you. So I think that's

394
00:32:22,820 --> 00:32:27,940
all the questions I have and just following trustee Cooper's comments. I want to start by really

395
00:32:27,940 --> 00:32:30,680
recognizing all of the work that I might

396
00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:32,980
staff to think creatively and to all involving

397
00:32:32,980 --> 00:32:34,400
other jurisdictions and agencies.

398
00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:38,600
We've heard some criticism around the lack of perceived

399
00:32:38,600 --> 00:32:40,980
or perceived lack of specificity in the end result.

400
00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:43,260
I certainly understand where that's coming from.

401
00:32:43,380 --> 00:32:44,560
I recognize that it may be frustrating.

402
00:32:45,320 --> 00:32:47,620
But I hopefully you see tonight that there is a lot of planning

403
00:32:47,620 --> 00:32:50,740
going in place to make sure that everyone's opinions are

404
00:32:50,740 --> 00:32:51,600
taken into account.

405
00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:55,060
It is important to understand that a lot of this

406
00:32:55,060 --> 00:32:56,600
happens at the direction of the board,

407
00:32:56,600 --> 00:33:02,080
taking into account many things, including the impact of potential alternative developments

408
00:33:02,080 --> 00:33:03,020
on the community.

409
00:33:04,260 --> 00:33:07,960
The impact of this decision tonight can not be overstated.

410
00:33:08,820 --> 00:33:13,280
This is going to be seen as the largest investment in this community since the Glen, and

411
00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:14,940
I'm purposely using the word investment.

412
00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:19,400
This is not a decision or an investment that is being taken lightly.

413
00:33:20,660 --> 00:33:24,900
There are going to be people who are just fundamentally against the use of tax dollars

414
00:33:24,900 --> 00:33:32,260
our funds to fund private development. To those people I hear you but my message is going to

415
00:33:32,260 --> 00:33:37,580
be that you and I are just going to simply disagree. I'm a firm believer that in order to build

416
00:33:37,580 --> 00:33:43,960
the community that we all want, we cannot sit back and say as one trustee once said to me when

417
00:33:43,960 --> 00:33:48,580
I was sitting in the member of the public that we don't have the power to build the change that

418
00:33:48,580 --> 00:33:54,340
we want. So we have a school system that was just recently ranked the top in the country.

419
00:33:54,900 --> 00:33:58,940
And with that success, we'll come in increased demand on the homes in Glenview.

420
00:34:00,020 --> 00:34:03,800
As that occurs, our property values will increase.

421
00:34:04,540 --> 00:34:09,060
But obviously with that, so we'll stress us on our schools and it's amazing teachers.

422
00:34:09,860 --> 00:34:15,860
So I give a ton of credit to this board and people like Trustee Jones, who have urged us to be careful

423
00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:19,280
of the amount of residential development that we're adding to the community.

424
00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:25,240
And at the same time, the community has really been clear that adding more industrial warehousing,

425
00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:30,180
particularly near hospitals and schools, is not how we want our village to be defined.

426
00:34:31,200 --> 00:34:36,280
This board, in this community, through processes like Lemview Connect, other public input,

427
00:34:36,840 --> 00:34:41,660
have challenged our staff to come up with an idea that really checks boxes in a number of categories,

428
00:34:41,980 --> 00:34:43,840
including sustainability and green space.

429
00:34:44,240 --> 00:34:48,280
school district needs or strengths there, and the needs of the part district, and as many

430
00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:53,440
constituents both young and old, there is clearly far more to come, more feedback

431
00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:58,600
is needed from staff, from other jurisdictions, from the board, and most importantly from

432
00:34:58,600 --> 00:34:59,960
the public, which I think will hear from somebody.

433
00:35:00,740 --> 00:35:06,480
We have already received e-mails with many different ideas, all of which should and will be considered,

434
00:35:07,200 --> 00:35:12,700
weighed, balanced, and decided via an inclusive and transparent public process. I'm very

435
00:35:12,700 --> 00:35:14,580
very much in support of this proposal.

436
00:35:17,500 --> 00:35:19,880
Thank you, Trustee Sedoti. Do you plan?

437
00:35:24,110 --> 00:35:33,610
I don't have any questions. I too will voice my support for this, basically for four reasons,

438
00:35:33,610 --> 00:35:36,810
some of which have already been stated here.

439
00:35:37,050 --> 00:35:43,290
Number one, it's just a very unique opportunity to be in control and collaborate with citizens

440
00:35:44,090 --> 00:35:51,150
and constituencies as we've talked about the various taxing bodies to create a smart master plan

441
00:35:51,770 --> 00:35:56,870
and ultimately convert this away from industrial use. I don't think anybody

442
00:35:56,870 --> 00:36:13,870
is in favor of seeing industrial, that parcel, maintaining its industrial zoning, and so I just view this as a really unique opportunity.

443
00:36:14,670 --> 00:36:21,670
Number two, it is a good deal for the village as Director Brady mentioned.

444
00:36:21,670 --> 00:36:49,590
So, we are getting this, you know, at a very good rational price, number three, this is an opportunity to create some revenue off of a 56 acre parcel that's been essentially fallow, and you know, I'm definitely in favor of seeing some revenue generation off of this 56 acres.

445
00:36:49,590 --> 00:36:57,010
And then lastly, has just been discussed, we're saving a lot of costs here in the way that

446
00:36:57,470 --> 00:37:01,130
we're going to be financing this out of the various funds.

447
00:37:02,070 --> 00:37:10,370
The alternatives were as deputy director, Bozley said, either floating bond here or getting

448
00:37:10,370 --> 00:37:19,370
some sort of bank financing, which would have had fees attached to it, not just the

449
00:37:19,370 --> 00:37:27,570
interest. So this is a really creative way of investing our funds because we are constrained

450
00:37:28,100 --> 00:37:33,170
by the state and how we can invest our funds. So we're really investing back into Glenn

451
00:37:33,170 --> 00:37:40,090
View. Not dissimilar to what we're doing downtown, by the way, with a permanent fund,

452
00:37:40,090 --> 00:37:46,190
in creating an endowment for future boards 20, 20 years down the road.

453
00:37:47,470 --> 00:37:54,590
So this is very much in line with what we're doing downtown, and I just view it as a really

454
00:37:54,590 --> 00:37:55,790
tremendous opportunity.

455
00:37:56,070 --> 00:38:03,030
I mean, interestingly enough, we have a much better bond rating than the banks that proposed

456
00:38:03,030 --> 00:38:05,850
or provided term sheets for the financing.

457
00:38:05,850 --> 00:38:14,550
So, kind of bags of the question why would we ever do financing with a private entity that

458
00:38:14,550 --> 00:38:19,490
had a worse off bond rating than we would, we're much more creditworthy.

459
00:38:20,370 --> 00:38:24,690
So for all of those reasons, I'm in strong support for this.

460
00:38:26,420 --> 00:38:27,240
Thank you, Trustee Blan.

461
00:38:28,180 --> 00:38:31,500
Trustee Duvalian, I know that's sure Amazon is up as well.

462
00:38:33,140 --> 00:38:50,120
I also don't have any more questions, but I do have a few comments, and before I dive into my comments, trustee Bland, I loved the quote, investing back into Glonveau, because that's how I view this, and I am in lock up with you on that.

463
00:38:50,500 --> 00:38:57,220
But wow, I'm so excited that this is in front of us. It seems like just yesterday that there were signs up and down,

464
00:38:57,220 --> 00:39:02,240
in, throughout less gone view, prominently stating no Amazon distribution center.

465
00:39:02,880 --> 00:39:05,060
And I think we've come a long way from that time.

466
00:39:06,360 --> 00:39:12,860
I agree with Trustee Sidoti that no industrial property should be in such close proximity to high schools or hospitals

467
00:39:12,860 --> 00:39:19,860
when there are new drivers and urgent ambulance transports that take place in around that area.

468
00:39:21,240 --> 00:39:26,980
As we move forward, we must continue to be mindful that we are a village that is made of fabric

469
00:39:26,980 --> 00:39:32,300
of neighborhoods. We're not in industrial court or city, and with this purchase coupled with

470
00:39:32,300 --> 00:39:36,420
the residential recent residential development that's ongoing at Willow and Kingston.

471
00:39:36,660 --> 00:39:41,980
We can continue to remain resolute that West Glenview should not be in industrial zone

472
00:39:41,980 --> 00:39:47,240
and certainly our gateway should give that impression. We have before us not only an exciting

473
00:39:47,240 --> 00:39:51,640
but an incredibly unique opportunity. I heard that word unique from multiple trustees

474
00:39:52,520 --> 00:39:55,960
to create a space with community and put in feedback.

475
00:39:56,740 --> 00:39:59,980
A space that will give back to going view 10 fold in the decades.

476
00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:13,500
This is just the very first step. I'm really looking forward to the collaborative process with our other taxing jurisdictions, and we can create a space that will benefit all of gunwheel.

477
00:40:14,380 --> 00:40:20,100
As a trustee, I'm committed to community engagement and hearing from the residents. I believe we all are.

478
00:40:20,400 --> 00:40:26,180
The comprehensive plan set for several ideas for this area, which also included residential, but residential.

479
00:40:26,180 --> 00:40:29,400
And I'm going to echo Trustee Sedone on this.

480
00:40:29,680 --> 00:40:32,380
It adds a substantial burden to our schools and our districts.

481
00:40:33,400 --> 00:40:36,680
Another option that was in our comprehensive plan was green space.

482
00:40:36,860 --> 00:40:40,320
And this board has been committed to sustainability and environmental initiatives.

483
00:40:40,760 --> 00:40:44,660
I'm excited about the opportunity that this land presents in this regard as well.

484
00:40:45,960 --> 00:40:48,960
We can also drop on the community sentiment that we collected.

485
00:40:49,380 --> 00:40:54,900
When we collected data and are going to be connect process where the community spoke loudly and clearly

486
00:40:54,900 --> 00:40:58,520
that they wanted more active village involvement and control over certain

487
00:40:58,520 --> 00:41:03,800
persons of land in order to prioritize the needs and desires and the best

488
00:41:03,800 --> 00:41:10,980
interest of our community. I am confident that this opportunity is one that we

489
00:41:10,980 --> 00:41:17,020
should not let pass us by. If we let it pass us by, the opportunity to align with

490
00:41:17,020 --> 00:41:22,860
those needs and desires of the community goes with that. The way that this staff has

491
00:41:22,860 --> 00:41:29,940
structured. This purchase is smart. It's thoughtful. It's fiscal year responsible. It's

492
00:41:29,940 --> 00:41:34,920
structured in a way that generates revenue and interests in the upcoming years. They did an

493
00:41:34,920 --> 00:41:40,680
incredible job of turning over every stone-tinture fiscal responsible planning and did the

494
00:41:40,680 --> 00:41:52,910
market research necessary to give us the best opportunity for purchase price. As part of, as part

495
00:41:52,910 --> 00:41:59,890
inspection and I know one thing that's before us is the request to purchase phase one and phase two of them

496
00:41:59,890 --> 00:42:05,870
environmental studies including an asbestos sunny and also survey. I am fully in support of that.

497
00:42:07,070 --> 00:42:14,150
You know this site is also adjacent to the former Navy burn pit and it was an industrial site so

498
00:42:14,690 --> 00:42:20,310
really digging down deep into any environmental related issues are really important

499
00:42:20,970 --> 00:42:37,150
as part of our due diligence, so I cannot emphasize that enough for my perspective, that I know that this whole plan is not laid out yet, but from where I sit, that's okay, it's even preferred because we might community input and might community feedback, and that's our very next step.

500
00:42:37,710 --> 00:42:44,630
But the time to act is now and we must not let this opportunity of such great magnitude pass us by when it will benefit all of going to be.

501
00:42:44,630 --> 00:42:49,650
I'm enthusiasticly in support of this proposal in ambia and excited to engage in the next steps.

502
00:42:52,610 --> 00:42:53,510
Thank you, Trustee DeBony.

503
00:42:54,350 --> 00:42:54,810
Do you want to see Jones?

504
00:42:58,090 --> 00:43:03,910
I'd like to just start out by saying that I echo all of my fellow trustees and I think that everybody

505
00:43:05,850 --> 00:43:14,310
stated really important and insightful comments that I completely concur with.

506
00:43:15,650 --> 00:43:23,450
I do have a couple of questions and this is some of them may or may not be able to be answered right now,

507
00:43:23,630 --> 00:43:29,290
but just something to just kind of address. Who will be part of the master plan?

508
00:43:30,030 --> 00:43:39,330
So obviously you're going to get community outreach, but will there be an outside or outsourced group that's in charge?

509
00:43:39,490 --> 00:43:42,950
Is it going to be village staff? Like who is going to be part of that master plan?

510
00:43:42,950 --> 00:43:47,950
We haven't gone through all of the details on how that will work.

511
00:43:48,410 --> 00:43:54,290
There may be a consultant that's brought on board to kind of facilitate the process.

512
00:43:55,450 --> 00:44:00,250
Obviously, any of the identified partners would be part of the process.

513
00:44:00,330 --> 00:44:03,590
In addition to the public as we go through various areas,

514
00:44:03,590 --> 00:44:05,470
Village staff is going to be heavily involved.

515
00:44:06,290 --> 00:44:11,810
We'll have to have engineers, planners kind of laying out some of the various potential

516
00:44:11,810 --> 00:44:16,850
concepts given the roadway configurations that could go through the site and then how the various

517
00:44:16,850 --> 00:44:23,450
parcels line up with whatever types of uses are discussed as being the priorities for inclusion

518
00:44:23,450 --> 00:44:31,570
into the site. So we'll come up with a more detailed master planning process and time frame while we're

519
00:44:31,570 --> 00:44:40,170
working through the next 90 days prior to the closing process. Okay, thank you. The other thing I just

520
00:44:40,170 --> 00:44:47,930
kind of make comment on is obviously we are doing this as partly a revenue-generating

521
00:44:50,630 --> 00:44:58,770
investment but I do want to emphasize that since this is hopefully going to benefit the full

522
00:44:58,770 --> 00:44:59,650
community that

523
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:08,440
When we're looking at these lease agreements that it's not just money that is prioritized in these

524
00:45:08,440 --> 00:45:17,420
leases and that we take into account some of the needs and desires of multiple facets and different

525
00:45:18,780 --> 00:45:28,000
cross jurisdictional bodies that can benefit from this too and it's not solely based on the money.

526
00:45:29,500 --> 00:45:32,680
But otherwise, I fully support of this.

527
00:45:35,710 --> 00:45:36,670
Thank you, Trustee Jones.

528
00:45:36,850 --> 00:45:37,050
Anyone?

529
00:45:41,260 --> 00:45:45,240
I'm going to open it up to public comment at this time.

530
00:45:46,020 --> 00:45:51,520
For 11, I have two speaker cards in front of me.

531
00:45:51,880 --> 00:45:56,140
If you would like to speak and have not yet filled out a speaker card, please do so.

532
00:45:57,200 --> 00:46:01,840
To my right, your left on here at the table, hand it to the recording secretary.

533
00:46:02,420 --> 00:46:15,540
What I call your name, please come forward, state your name and address and you'll have three minutes to offer your comments and I'll try to remind you when you've got 30 seconds left.

534
00:46:18,350 --> 00:46:22,870
With that, the first speaker card I have is Mr. Skip Newman.

535
00:46:22,890 --> 00:46:23,270
Good

536
00:46:27,270 --> 00:46:28,430
evening.

537
00:46:30,630 --> 00:46:33,970
I live nearby this area, so I'm quite familiar with it.

538
00:46:34,230 --> 00:46:35,910
I thought about this for a long time.

539
00:46:36,790 --> 00:46:38,530
And the village has that opportunity to look at this.

540
00:46:38,710 --> 00:46:39,550
But let's look at it.

541
00:46:39,590 --> 00:46:40,450
And what it is now.

542
00:46:40,750 --> 00:46:43,210
And what it could have been, or should have been, is it not relevant.

543
00:46:43,730 --> 00:46:45,870
We need to focus on what can the village do now.

544
00:46:46,350 --> 00:46:47,730
The reality is, the signal is going to sell.

545
00:46:47,870 --> 00:46:50,770
If you're going to sell to somebody, we know what the industrial zoning is.

546
00:46:51,210 --> 00:46:52,950
And we all agree, nobody wants that.

547
00:46:53,090 --> 00:46:55,610
Nobody wants a 174-24-hour truck base.

548
00:46:55,910 --> 00:46:57,830
That Germany wanted to do two years ago.

549
00:46:57,830 --> 00:47:04,730
So industrial is out, we all know the office market is basically dead suburban office buildings are being shut down

550
00:47:04,730 --> 00:47:11,530
So there's no there's no office buyer retail pretty well saturated and lots of empty store front saw it

551
00:47:11,530 --> 00:47:16,730
And especially for 56 acres nobody's going to put up a regional shopping center here just not going to happen

552
00:47:16,730 --> 00:47:22,050
Medical across the street is in Debra, Northwestern and in Debra basically controlled in the right side

553
00:47:22,050 --> 00:47:26,210
So there isn't going to be another medical use that's needed in the area

554
00:47:26,210 --> 00:47:30,790
Clearly there's a residential choice, but already a TIA is going to have to deal with the Scott

555
00:47:30,790 --> 00:47:34,010
Forzman, I don't know how many kids that's going to be maybe a hundred or something.

556
00:47:34,450 --> 00:47:36,130
So this is going to put a strain on 34.

557
00:47:36,890 --> 00:47:42,170
225 South is already busting at the seams and as I think way more students than North.

558
00:47:42,650 --> 00:47:47,050
So putting more students at South isn't going to help that situation as well.

559
00:47:47,450 --> 00:47:51,930
Obviously that comes down to the public option, which would be what we're talking about,

560
00:47:51,930 --> 00:47:54,150
whether it's sports fields or otherwise,

561
00:47:54,550 --> 00:47:57,590
or maybe 34 once another school, I don't know,

562
00:47:57,690 --> 00:47:58,270
doesn't matter.

563
00:47:58,630 --> 00:48:01,070
I think the key thing is taking this away

564
00:48:01,070 --> 00:48:04,110
from public developers, there's already rumors

565
00:48:04,110 --> 00:48:07,050
about something being done at the CVS property

566
00:48:07,050 --> 00:48:09,930
on Sanders there about being,

567
00:48:10,030 --> 00:48:12,170
they're calling it light industrial, whatever that means.

568
00:48:12,990 --> 00:48:14,630
So I think this is a great opportunity

569
00:48:15,390 --> 00:48:19,010
for a public thing, controlled by the public,

570
00:48:19,590 --> 00:48:21,470
and not subject to the whims of a developer

571
00:48:21,470 --> 00:48:23,950
for who wants to do something else in Dustfield.

572
00:48:24,650 --> 00:48:25,950
So I'm quite supportive of this.

573
00:48:25,990 --> 00:48:27,310
Thank you.

574
00:48:27,330 --> 00:48:28,250
Thank you for your comments.

575
00:48:30,310 --> 00:48:33,890
The next speaker card I have is for Liam Sites.

576
00:48:35,960 --> 00:48:36,500
Good evening.

577
00:48:43,480 --> 00:48:44,540
Good evening, President Jenny.

578
00:48:45,160 --> 00:48:46,760
William Sites, I trust you.

579
00:48:47,000 --> 00:48:48,920
William Sites, 1869, Burry Street.

580
00:48:49,620 --> 00:48:52,280
So I sent comments into you.

581
00:48:52,300 --> 00:48:53,680
So I'm back in a week by comments.

582
00:48:54,060 --> 00:48:54,920
I've heard your comments.

583
00:48:55,040 --> 00:48:56,520
So I know how you're going to vote on this.

584
00:48:56,520 --> 00:49:00,460
So, I'm going to make some various comments on this.

585
00:49:01,120 --> 00:49:05,060
I'm going to sort of repeat what I said on Thursday night relative to the budget.

586
00:49:06,300 --> 00:49:09,360
And first of all, I'm going to talk about public participation.

587
00:49:09,820 --> 00:49:15,300
And that's important on the budget and on this particular matter.

588
00:49:15,840 --> 00:49:19,340
I would like to suggest that you do another budget workshop.

589
00:49:20,320 --> 00:49:23,560
And you go through exactly how you're going to pay for this.

590
00:49:23,560 --> 00:49:39,440
Because, you know, I went to the budget workshops and I was looking for the budget for the corporate fund, the permanent fund, the capital project fund, and as I explained to you in my letters, those weren't posted for the public to review.

591
00:49:40,280 --> 00:49:45,760
And if you want the public to participate in the budget process, you have to post those for the public to review.

592
00:49:45,760 --> 00:49:52,260
So, here, you're doing a purchase for $23 million with no budget.

593
00:49:53,760 --> 00:49:59,980
Okay, if you thought about a budget, now you talk about 2021 funds, sweeping 21 funds, then...

594
00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:07,700
Do a bunch of works up next week, and we can see how you're paying for this. Let's talk about a transparent process.

595
00:50:08,720 --> 00:50:11,740
And if you want to do this to the transparent process, that's great.

596
00:50:13,060 --> 00:50:15,740
You know, I was going to suggest him, as I said in my letter, a referendum.

597
00:50:16,980 --> 00:50:22,480
Let the voters decide, just like to the ice center for the park district, which is a much larger district than yours.

598
00:50:24,040 --> 00:50:30,100
The Wagner Farm, even the library had to make a public case for money for bonds from you.

599
00:50:30,760 --> 00:50:32,480
So you don't want to do it for any of you.

600
00:50:32,480 --> 00:50:33,500
You want to spend it yourself.

601
00:50:33,980 --> 00:50:34,680
That's fine.

602
00:50:35,400 --> 00:50:36,400
So you don't want to vote no.

603
00:50:36,980 --> 00:50:37,840
That's your choice.

604
00:50:39,380 --> 00:50:41,660
So just rid of it in a few of my points here.

605
00:50:42,080 --> 00:50:43,360
And I'll be brief present.

606
00:50:44,720 --> 00:50:49,340
Again, once again, you're posting a very important topic.

607
00:50:49,340 --> 00:50:56,400
I'm short to me, short notice, Halloween, and for a Tuesday meeting, I think, you know,

608
00:50:56,400 --> 00:51:01,880
I don't think that's quite reasonable, but just getting to the specifics of this thing.

609
00:51:02,220 --> 00:51:06,680
If you look at the comprehensive plan, you want to talk about residential, 55 plus housing.

610
00:51:07,300 --> 00:51:09,740
That's a big need in this community for a affordable housing.

611
00:51:10,240 --> 00:51:14,520
You could do a residential, but in industrial, there's any foreign industrial.

612
00:51:14,920 --> 00:51:19,020
It's not Germany-type industrial, but there's a need for industrial at 30 seconds from

613
00:51:19,020 --> 00:51:19,520
And certainly,

614
00:51:21,540 --> 00:51:29,440
you know, what's the bill has been doing on getting private sector, discount

615
00:51:29,440 --> 00:51:30,160
on the purchase price?

616
00:51:30,360 --> 00:51:30,780
I'm sorry.

617
00:51:31,440 --> 00:51:36,980
It's 3% off what Dermany was going to pay for when we were occupied.

618
00:51:37,820 --> 00:51:42,360
So there's no appraisal, it's easy to cargo what would require an appraisal.

619
00:51:43,540 --> 00:51:47,520
You know, as you may know, I've been dealing with the mayor's cargo on something, but

620
00:51:48,540 --> 00:51:51,020
Thank you very much for your time.

621
00:51:51,280 --> 00:51:52,640
Be sure to come in.

622
00:51:54,840 --> 00:51:57,780
Next speaker card I have is from Bill Casey.

623
00:52:00,770 --> 00:52:01,710
Good evening.

624
00:52:02,530 --> 00:52:03,010
Good evening.

625
00:52:04,170 --> 00:52:10,870
Bill Casey, 1112, Washington Street, 20 year, 28 year resident, 23 years almost on the park port.

626
00:52:11,490 --> 00:52:16,290
And I'm here to enthusiastically hope that you will pass this.

627
00:52:16,590 --> 00:52:20,290
It will serve so many purposes as far as the park district's concern.

628
00:52:20,290 --> 00:52:29,330
But just a little history back, you know, we have a long relationship intergovernmental with each other, especially when it comes to deals like this.

629
00:52:29,930 --> 00:52:34,910
The Glenn was transformational by far. This is going to be second to that for sure.

630
00:52:35,470 --> 00:52:40,650
But when I first moved here, the Glenn and the Naval Base was being redeveloped.

631
00:52:41,070 --> 00:52:48,690
And at that time, it was interesting, it was fun to watch, it was fun to see all the new things, but what was most important was the intergovernmental relationship.

632
00:52:48,690 --> 00:52:54,550
the transfer the property to the park district, so the history is there that we have that strong

633
00:52:54,550 --> 00:53:00,010
relationship, not only would transferring land, but we've worked together in flood projects and other

634
00:53:00,010 --> 00:53:06,490
things. But this property, so transformational, it will serve many, many needs of the park district,

635
00:53:06,690 --> 00:53:13,090
which is both active recreation and passive recreation. Not to mention, the open space, the

636
00:53:13,090 --> 00:53:19,410
natural, natural, natural, natural, natural space that would help not be redeveloped.

637
00:53:20,670 --> 00:53:23,410
So I hope you can support the vote of this.

638
00:53:23,530 --> 00:53:27,490
I'll be short to blow my own, to blow our own horn, not mine.

639
00:53:27,970 --> 00:53:31,050
But you mentioned the school districts award-winning.

640
00:53:31,490 --> 00:53:33,330
I just want to let you know if you've forgotten.

641
00:53:33,970 --> 00:53:41,050
In the last two years, we've been what have three runners up in the best part districts across the country for 50,000 or more.

642
00:53:41,050 --> 00:53:48,890
so thank you very much. Thank you for your comments. Next I have Gerald Barry.

643
00:53:56,650 --> 00:53:57,030
Good evening.

644
00:53:58,530 --> 00:54:01,470
You've been Jerry Barry 1311 pine street.

645
00:54:05,120 --> 00:54:06,620
Interesting presentation.

646
00:54:09,720 --> 00:54:19,460
$23 million. Kind of an ad hoc. Oh by the way we've spent $23 million. Here's our plan.

647
00:54:20,660 --> 00:54:21,220
Um,

648
00:54:23,530 --> 00:54:28,470
let's, you know, all the, all the presentations here, this is about the most

649
00:54:28,470 --> 00:54:34,590
determinately vague proposal I've ever heard in my life, you know, we're going to

650
00:54:34,590 --> 00:54:38,210
maybe part, we're going to, we're going to, maybe part, we're going to, maybe part

651
00:54:38,210 --> 00:54:44,150
error with the schools, Glenbrook, South, across the street, we're going to, maybe we have

652
00:54:44,150 --> 00:54:46,610
this opportunity, we have this investment,

653
00:54:49,250 --> 00:54:51,970
when did Glenn view determinately get into the

654
00:54:51,970 --> 00:54:58,650
a state speculation business, you know, we have a market out here.

655
00:54:58,990 --> 00:54:59,910
We have all kinds of people.

656
00:55:00,000 --> 00:55:29,040
And again, you know, we've seen with downtown Glamby with the plan. The village of Glamby has become not only the, the finance era of last resort, but of first resort, direct grants. When I last tabulated for the investment for the five individual restaurants in downtown Glamby, which is like setting up a cage match, who will be, who will be the conqueror? Out of five new restaurants, we lost three last year.

657
00:55:30,520 --> 00:55:32,980
And don't take a look, too hot and walk you can road.

658
00:55:34,700 --> 00:55:42,200
And, you know, you spending money like, like, drunk and sailors and leave, and speck.

659
00:55:44,710 --> 00:55:51,290
So I hope it works out, you know, I'm familiar with going over, we moved up here as 61, cute little

660
00:55:51,290 --> 00:55:51,690
village.

661
00:55:52,350 --> 00:56:00,250
I think the fundamental original sin was tearing down the mo-roogets, the most historic property

662
00:56:00,250 --> 00:56:06,470
and Northfield Township are going to be to put up a name somewhere in a parking lot that

663
00:56:06,470 --> 00:56:07,630
now we have to break on.

664
00:56:08,570 --> 00:56:15,850
But I'll tell you what, I mean, my dad was involved as an architect on the Paris Commission

665
00:56:15,850 --> 00:56:19,870
he quit finally in frustration.

666
00:56:21,790 --> 00:56:28,650
But dealing with public money here, you have a fiduciary responsibility and it seems like

667
00:56:28,650 --> 00:56:31,530
played monopoly with public money. Thank you.

668
00:56:32,430 --> 00:56:33,290
Appreciate your comments.

669
00:56:37,310 --> 00:56:44,030
So I've got one card from a shock master.

670
00:56:45,290 --> 00:56:49,990
That I believe is all about this this particular agenda item.

671
00:56:50,430 --> 00:56:57,750
I've also got a speaker card from Max West citing environmental matters.

672
00:56:57,990 --> 00:56:59,790
Is that on this item as well?

673
00:57:00,950 --> 00:57:11,010
And then there's a speaker card concerning sidewalks on Harrison, is that for item 11A as well?

674
00:57:11,970 --> 00:57:16,270
Okay, so that we'll handle that for under item 12 matters to be presented by the public.

675
00:57:16,610 --> 00:57:17,410
Okay, great.

676
00:57:17,730 --> 00:57:20,830
Just wanted to make sure I was categorizing correctly.

677
00:57:22,830 --> 00:57:24,490
Mr. Master, would you like to come forward?

678
00:57:27,490 --> 00:57:27,770
Good evening.

679
00:57:27,770 --> 00:57:34,160
I was a great presentation by the way, director, I thought I was a really good presentation.

680
00:57:35,040 --> 00:57:37,420
My name is Shackmaster, my address is 228 Greenwood.

681
00:57:37,820 --> 00:57:40,540
I live not too far away from that location.

682
00:57:40,780 --> 00:57:46,140
We moved there about eight years ago, and I would walk by that place for the last eight years,

683
00:57:46,300 --> 00:57:48,140
saying whatever you'd do something about this.

684
00:57:48,720 --> 00:57:50,560
So first of all, I support this.

685
00:57:51,840 --> 00:57:58,000
I have five kids, four of them that are going to graduate from the Columbia School District,

686
00:57:58,000 --> 00:58:02,340
that have graduated a couple of them from GBS, one is in GBS, one is going to go in GBS

687
00:58:02,340 --> 00:58:03,220
in five, four years.

688
00:58:04,180 --> 00:58:13,300
I am also involved in youth, you know, I'm a president of a local, a nonprofit community

689
00:58:13,300 --> 00:58:19,400
based program football program that is a theater program for GBS and I would tell you that

690
00:58:19,400 --> 00:58:21,580
we are always looking for space, right?

691
00:58:21,760 --> 00:58:27,900
The youth need a place, somewhere to play, somewhere to just hang out and we don't have

692
00:58:27,900 --> 00:58:33,360
enough of that. Some of our youth are going over the Wilodol, which is not Glendue. Some

693
00:58:33,360 --> 00:58:39,040
of us somewhere youth are going over the Northbroke complex, which is not Glendue. And

694
00:58:39,040 --> 00:58:44,000
it's great that something like this is going to happen here across the street from GPS, where

695
00:58:44,000 --> 00:58:50,000
more youth will come and come and play. And so I'm ecstatic, and I just wanted to just say,

696
00:58:50,000 --> 00:58:53,700
you know, I want to come over here personally, I've never done this before. So it's my first time

697
00:58:53,700 --> 00:58:55,580
speaking in front of folks, folks like you.

698
00:58:55,820 --> 00:58:58,020
So my little nervous, but this is awesome.

699
00:58:58,580 --> 00:59:02,320
I think I could see a vision where there's a turf field,

700
00:59:02,640 --> 00:59:03,800
where families are coming out,

701
00:59:03,800 --> 00:59:05,420
and you know whether kids playing soccer,

702
00:59:05,920 --> 00:59:07,860
playing football, playing baseball,

703
00:59:08,580 --> 00:59:10,700
and I echo your sentiment about,

704
00:59:10,960 --> 00:59:12,380
Glemview is not a place of industry.

705
00:59:12,880 --> 00:59:14,480
When we first moved here to Glemview,

706
00:59:15,360 --> 00:59:18,660
we actually initially bought a house in Chicago.

707
00:59:19,660 --> 00:59:21,280
We saw this modest home in Glemview

708
00:59:21,280 --> 00:59:22,900
and we thought I'm love with the time of Glemview.

709
00:59:22,900 --> 00:59:26,120
And so I think what you guys are all doing is wonderful.

710
00:59:26,660 --> 00:59:28,640
I do want to acknowledge some of the other comments

711
00:59:28,640 --> 00:59:32,660
made about making sure that we dot the eyes and cross the T's.

712
00:59:33,060 --> 00:59:35,020
And I imagine that you always trust these.

713
00:59:35,160 --> 00:59:35,600
We'll do that.

714
00:59:35,760 --> 00:59:38,000
That there's a backstop measure that if something

715
00:59:38,000 --> 00:59:40,840
doesn't look right, smile right, then you guys will stop it.

716
00:59:40,840 --> 00:59:42,260
And I trust you that you guys will do that.

717
00:59:42,400 --> 00:59:43,820
But I'm excited about this proposal.

718
00:59:44,220 --> 00:59:47,060
And I would love to be a partner with the Columbia Park District

719
00:59:47,060 --> 00:59:48,920
where I'll be partners to try and help you

720
00:59:48,920 --> 00:59:50,880
do up some area for the community.

721
00:59:51,420 --> 00:59:52,020
Thank you.

722
00:59:52,860 --> 00:59:54,100
Thank you for your comments.

723
00:59:57,520 --> 00:59:59,980
The last speaker card I have is for Mr.

724
01:00:06,640 --> 01:00:13,160
Good evening, thank you everyone for your service. I love this idea of redeveloping this former

725
01:00:13,160 --> 01:00:22,160
signal property. I love it and I love what you're proposing here. So let me just set that out there.

726
01:00:22,160 --> 01:00:28,220
been a resident for 20 years, I've never been here before, but I specialise in environmental

727
01:00:28,220 --> 01:00:33,480
insurance. I have 27 years of environmental insurance experience in the Chicago area.

728
01:00:34,220 --> 01:00:38,320
And I've insured sites like the Loyola Academy when they put the playing fields on there

729
01:00:38,320 --> 01:00:43,800
and the Annetsburg property in Northbrook. And I share that with you because you're moving

730
01:00:43,800 --> 01:00:49,560
fast here and I've actually insured this site in the past for signode when it split from

731
01:00:50,880 --> 01:01:00,460
So I want why I share this is just to be careful with the environmental information and you are, right?

732
01:01:00,540 --> 01:01:03,940
You're looking at the phase one and phase two.

733
01:01:04,620 --> 01:01:11,100
And you're purchasing a phase one and phase two from a previous consultant or just want to just highlight something.

734
01:01:11,840 --> 01:01:14,500
Phase one's are only valid for six months, right?

735
01:01:14,500 --> 01:01:18,100
because they offer also offer circular, super fun protections.

736
01:01:18,440 --> 01:01:24,660
I want you to get that re done re issued for you if you do go forward

737
01:01:24,660 --> 01:01:28,760
because that offers protections for you.

738
01:01:29,220 --> 01:01:44,200
In addition, I want to highlight look at the obviously you're going to look at the

739
01:01:44,200 --> 01:01:48,120
that's out there in the last four years, it's now regulated.

740
01:01:48,500 --> 01:01:53,220
You're going to see that. You may see that in firefighting foam in sprinklers.

741
01:01:53,380 --> 01:01:56,320
That's one place to look. If they had placing operations,

742
01:01:56,900 --> 01:02:01,620
you've got to look carefully at that. You're going to work with an environmental consultant

743
01:02:01,620 --> 01:02:06,900
who can educate you on that. But also I advise you to look at

744
01:02:07,540 --> 01:02:11,880
work potentially. If those got issues, you raise work with an environmental attorney.

745
01:02:11,880 --> 01:02:17,920
I'm not a legal guy. I'm just insurance, but I'm focused in this area and redeveloping things like this.

746
01:02:19,340 --> 01:02:29,160
In addition, this kind of, you may want to look at this insurance. You have probably a broker that does this, but it protects against unknown clean-up costs, right?

747
01:02:29,680 --> 01:02:34,880
You've heard you talk about the budget. This kind of insurance protects against that unknown.

748
01:02:35,120 --> 01:02:39,520
What if we run into this? You've got big building slabs that you're going to be working with here.

749
01:02:39,520 --> 01:02:41,360
and the option you've got about 30 seconds.

750
01:02:41,660 --> 01:02:42,500
All right, thank you.

751
01:02:42,680 --> 01:02:45,580
And that may generate an unknown liability.

752
01:02:46,840 --> 01:02:49,600
And that's really what I just wanted to educate you on.

753
01:02:49,860 --> 01:02:53,340
And that therefore could help you control your budget

754
01:02:53,340 --> 01:02:54,280
for this.

755
01:02:54,380 --> 01:02:55,520
Nothing more than that.

756
01:02:55,700 --> 01:02:57,100
I want to see this go forward.

757
01:02:57,200 --> 01:02:58,860
This is wonderful.

758
01:02:59,360 --> 01:03:00,780
So thank you.

759
01:03:01,080 --> 01:03:01,960
Thank you for your comments.

760
01:03:07,010 --> 01:03:09,530
Seeing no other public comment on this matter,

761
01:03:09,650 --> 01:03:13,210
I'll bring it back to the board for any further trustee.

762
01:03:13,210 --> 01:03:16,770
comments or a motion to approve.

763
01:03:18,860 --> 01:03:22,840
Motion to approve. Motion from Trustee

764
01:03:22,840 --> 01:03:25,420
Blan with a second from Trustee Sedoti. Good afternoon.

765
01:03:25,500 --> 01:03:26,220
roll call, please.

766
01:03:28,760 --> 01:03:30,160
Trustee Gaboni? Yes.

767
01:03:30,160 --> 01:03:33,880
Trustee Jones? Yes. Trustee Sedoti? Yes. Trustee Blan? Yes.

768
01:03:34,040 --> 01:03:37,420
Trustee Cooper? Yes. Motion carries. Thank you.

769
01:03:38,280 --> 01:03:43,420
That brings us to agenda item 12 matters to be presented by the public.

770
01:03:43,420 --> 01:03:45,140
I do have one speaker card here.

771
01:03:45,560 --> 01:03:47,900
Is it cashier surlag?

772
01:03:53,050 --> 01:03:53,990
Protocols are the same.

773
01:03:54,110 --> 01:03:57,230
Just come up and state your name and your address.

774
01:03:58,330 --> 01:04:01,250
And we'll give you three minutes to offer your comments.

775
01:04:01,630 --> 01:04:02,970
We thank you so much.

776
01:04:03,190 --> 01:04:03,890
Nice to meet you all.

777
01:04:03,890 --> 01:04:05,110
My name is Cashier surlag.

778
01:04:05,470 --> 01:04:08,410
I'm a resident of 32, 39,

779
01:04:08,770 --> 01:04:10,190
Rotor Avenue in Glendale.

780
01:04:10,790 --> 01:04:13,310
I'm here on behalf of moms of Glendale

781
01:04:13,310 --> 01:04:15,070
and by my area.

782
01:04:15,750 --> 01:04:20,810
I'm here especially to ask for installation of sidewalks and Harrison Avenue.

783
01:04:21,430 --> 01:04:23,890
I did roll it up. It's my first time swimming from a little nervous.

784
01:04:24,810 --> 01:04:28,370
But basically the area at the McAfrica had really changed in our area.

785
01:04:28,550 --> 01:04:32,530
We have a lot of young families moving in small children.

786
01:04:32,890 --> 01:04:37,170
Mom's moving with a shoulder around the street of a north street of Harrison.

787
01:04:39,030 --> 01:04:42,710
And the area became quite kind of dangerous for people to walk through

788
01:04:42,710 --> 01:04:48,490
because there's no lights in the area, the kind of sunervous deep breath.

789
01:04:49,850 --> 01:04:52,650
You know, there's that in a flight there.

790
01:04:52,710 --> 01:04:54,690
People are moving to the rest of the streets,

791
01:04:55,150 --> 01:04:58,370
moms with the strollers, elderly people, people walking in their dogs.

792
01:05:00,000 --> 01:05:28,600
Quite fast. The traffic on the streets is quite fast at night. And there's high potential for dangerous things to happen. I used to work as a trauma nurse, I'm a nurse practitioner now. I have small children. I actually children collected signatures during took a treating this season, you know, from the neighbors. Whoever was home did sign the petition. We didn't have one single person that disagreed. We had about 30 signatures and I have this petition with me to share with you guys.

793
01:05:30,000 --> 01:05:36,060
I said, guys, I can collect more if needed, and that's about it.

794
01:05:36,100 --> 01:05:39,960
I just want to thank you for your time, and for your service, it's not $23 million.

795
01:05:39,960 --> 01:05:44,820
I'm asking for a tiny project, but I think it's going to make our community safer,

796
01:05:45,720 --> 01:05:48,840
and I'm so happy on this, nervous yelling at the kids on the street.

797
01:05:50,660 --> 01:05:51,700
Thank you very much.

798
01:05:52,080 --> 01:05:52,960
Thank you.

799
01:05:53,700 --> 01:05:55,040
Would you like to share the petition with you?

800
01:05:55,060 --> 01:05:55,340
Sure.

801
01:05:55,480 --> 01:05:59,300
I want to give it to the recording secretary over here, and we'll take a look at it.

802
01:05:59,300 --> 01:06:07,460
I understand from manager form because our traffic committee is looking at this and we'll be back to your group as soon as they can as well, yeah.

803
01:06:13,720 --> 01:06:17,540
Any other matters to be presented by the public?

804
01:06:17,880 --> 01:06:29,700
Speaking of public comment, I'll be giving the Glenview State of the Village address this Friday, November 7th at 10 a.m. at our fantastic Glenview Public Library in the community room.

805
01:06:30,440 --> 01:06:36,600
You can come in, come by, talk to us, figure out what else is going on in your strong

806
01:06:36,600 --> 01:06:37,400
state of the village.

807
01:06:37,540 --> 01:06:39,840
So I look forward to seeing you meet seeing many of you there.

808
01:06:40,480 --> 01:06:44,680
With that, we'll go to item 13, is there a motion to adjourn?

809
01:06:44,800 --> 01:06:45,860
Motion to adjourn?

810
01:06:46,060 --> 01:06:46,260
Second.

811
01:06:47,440 --> 01:06:51,880

814

All those opposed?

815
01:06:55,420 --> 01:06:56,000
