[7:40] Thank you.

[7:41] That brings us to old business of which we have none.

[7:44] And moving along to new business, item 11A, consideration of a resolution,

[7:50] approving a purchase and sale agreement between the village of Glenview and

[7:53] signode industrial group LLC for the signode property at 3,63700 West Lake Avenue, good evening.

[8:03] Thank you, President Jenny.

[8:05] All right, so before we get into the particulars of the purchase and sale agreement,

[8:09] thought it would be helpful to kind of provide the board and the public and overview of this opportunity

[8:16] and see what's being considered tonight.

[8:19] So, going to go through here's a little flyover.

[8:22] All

[8:28] right, so this is the subject property we're looking at from a drone shot.

[8:32] It's formerly the signode industrial campus at 363600 to 3700 West Lake Avenue.

[8:39] In total, it's 56 acres, it's bounded on the south by West Lake Avenue, and there's also

[8:44] a village, a pump station that's just on the south end of the property.

[8:48] On the west side is Finxton, that's adjacent to Glenbrook, south high school, and then

[8:54] also the Glenbrook hospital.

[8:55] On the east side is the railroad tracks, and then on the north side is the Glen Lake

[8:59] State's Neighborhood, which is bound by Glen Lake Drive to the north.

[9:05] This property represents one of the largest redevelopment opportunities that we have within

[9:09] the village's limits.

[9:11] This property has been actively on the market since 2020, and vacant since 2022, when

[9:17] signodes ceased its industrial operations on this site.

[9:22] If the purchase and sale agreement is approved tonight by the village board, the village would

[9:26] look to partner with the Glenview Park District, another local taxing bodies to guide the

[9:31] site's redevelopment, the long-term master planning, and then the transformation of this area

[9:36] into a recreational and open space area for the benefit of the entire community.

[9:42] While planning remains in the very preliminary stages, the initial concepts for the site could

[9:47] including transforming it into a multi-faceted recreational space, potentially including things

[9:52] such as playgrounds, athletic fields, sports facilities, rocket sports, various parks,

[10:00] 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.

[10:17] 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.

[10:28] Those applications were not considered to be in the village's best long-term interest,

[10:33] and we have a seller that is highly motivated to sell their property,

[10:37] and this is an opportunity that arose for the village to take control of this property,

[10:42] and control of how it gets ultimately redeveloped.

[10:45] So that's a bit of an overview of the site.

[10:48] You can see all of the area from these aerial shots,

[10:52] and I think I'll dive into some of the background details,

[10:55] And then also some of the details on the purchase sale agreement as well as the master planning process that would be coming up.

[11:05] So as I mentioned, this is the signode industrial site.

[11:09] Signode is a manufacturer of transit and packaging tools.

[11:13] They primarily made these items for the industrial shipping and storage market.

[11:19] Some examples are primarily one of their main products is metal and plastic fasteners.

[11:25] 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.

[11:40] There are three large buildings on the site. So again, to orient the board and the public, this is West Lake Avenue.

[11:47] In the foreground here, this is finkston.

[11:51] Here's the axis into the site.

[11:54] This is the village's pump station.

[11:56] That's directly on the hard corner, finkston.

[11:58] Unless like Avenue.

[11:59] You have three basic complexes of industrial buildings.

[12:03] You go one, two, three.

[12:06] Off of the railroad tracks that are in the distance here.

[12:09] There's a railroad spur that brings in raw materials to the site

[12:12] or brought raw materials into the site.

[12:14] So there's a railroad spur.

[12:14] 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.

[12:31] Additionally, as part of planned improvements, this entire intersection, it's the East Lake

[12:39] Avenue, West Lake Avenue, thinks that intersection is currently in the design phases to

[12:45] be completely reconstructed with significant capacity improvements and pedestrian improvements

[12:51] with that construction program to start in 2028.

[12:55] So as I mentioned before, this property has been marketed for sales since 2020 and was vacated

[13:01] in 2022. There were several developers that were interested in doing something with the site,

[13:07] both in terms of some sort of warehouse distribution, opportunity, or a mix of single

[13:13] family and multi-family residential on the site. Ultimately, this opportunity, this unique

[13:20] opportunity, was presented to sign out for the village to purchase the property and convert

[13:25] this industrial site into a long-term community community. That being focused on the recreational

[13:30] and permanently preserved open space uses that we've talked about,

[13:34] or I talked about it in the beginning.

[13:36] Wanted to go through some of the details of the purchase

[13:40] and sale agreement, so within the purchase and sale agreement,

[13:43] our terms by which various actions have to occur.

[13:47] The purchase price is 23.375 million.

[13:51] The site is 56 acres.

[13:53] The earnest money that goes down as part of this purchase

[13:56] and sale agreement is a half a million dollars.

[13:58] The village has 60 days to go through its due diligence or inspection period, and then

[14:05] following the completion of the inspection period, there's 30 days to close on the property.

[14:10] So that would be an anticipated closing in February of 2026.

[14:15] As part of the inspection period, so included in the resolution for consideration by the

[14:22] board tonight is a purchase of various studies and surveys that were already commissioned

[14:27] for the site at a discounted 50% discounted price.

[14:31] During the inspection period, what would happen is that the villages third party environmental

[14:35] consultant will review those studies, the studies include a phase 1 study and phase 2 studies

[14:42] plus additional studies to go into some details and some of the things that were found on

[14:47] the site.

[14:48] Our environmental consultant will review those and evaluate if there's any environmental issues

[14:53] as well as reviewing in the fastest study to determine what the fastest might be in the building.

[15:00] And might be having to be mitigated as part of the demolition of the structures on the site.

[15:06] 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.

[15:13] It basically identifies any easements in all of the buildings on the site with some clarifications on any encumbrances that there might be.

[15:21] 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.

[15:39] 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.

[15:51] So, the master plan process that's envisioned for the site, it is very similar to what occurred

[15:59] when there was the redevelopment of the Naval Air Station Glenview.

[16:04] It would be a public process led by the village.

[16:07] It's a master planning process and I'll go through some of the details.

[16:13] The village would coordinate with the Glenview Park District and any other potential partners

[16:19] on the redevelopment of the site. There would be a identification of the various site constraints,

[16:25] what might be the potential conceptual uses for the site, and then any of the associated

[16:31] site amenities that would go with those proposed uses. The potential uses, as I described,

[16:38] could vary significantly, but potential uses would be public in school, play fields, public sports

[16:45] courts, institutional accessory and field house buildings, various paths, private sports,

[16:51] fields or courts and training centers, private retail business businesses that might be

[16:56] complementary to the area, neighborhood parks, and then dedicated to public open space.

[17:02] As part of this master planning process, there'd be a sighting of the various potential access

[17:09] points, probably a couple of different roadway concepts that could be utilized throughout

[17:14] the site, the associated parking areas, and then how stormwater detention would be handled

[17:20] on the site.

[17:22] Throughout the process, there will be opportunities for public input and feedback on the

[17:26] various concepts from the various public agencies that would either be involved as partners

[17:31] or in the review process of the various concepts.

[17:36] An evaluation of the concepts would occur from the standpoint of traffic impacts, fiscal impacts

[17:42] or any other potential impacts on those various concepts,

[17:46] ultimately leading to identification of various

[17:50] developed parcels around the site,

[17:53] as well as the designation of the potential conceptual

[17:56] land uses.

[17:59] So, as you kind of think of a funnel,

[18:01] as you're in the beginning, what are the site constraints,

[18:03] and then your funnel narrows a little bit. All right,

[18:05] so what are the potential opportunities,

[18:07] and what are the various concepts that you might have for the redevelopment

[18:09] the site, the funnel kind of, you know, narrows down.

[18:13] And so ultimately they'll be a preferred concept that comes out of this master plan.

[18:17] And then that lays out the framework for which of the partners would go into which areas

[18:24] of the site and what uses might be occupied by those areas, given the pattern of development

[18:31] that would be recommended, the site configuration of the roadways, the areas where these

[18:37] uses would have the best adjacencies given the existing conditions that are surrounding this property.

[18:46] So once that master plan recommendation is approved by the village, the identified users

[18:52] for the various parcels will negotiate leases with the village at various rates and over time periods

[18:58] to allow the village to recoup the investment costs for not only the purchasing of the site,

[19:03] the demolition and any infrastructure that is provided.

[19:07] The infrastructure would likely include the roadways and then the associated utilities that

[19:13] would be stubbed to these various parcels for the individual groups to then further

[19:18] do their developments.

[19:20] And again, think of a pattern, you could probably think of a road pattern going through the site

[19:25] in two different ways, and it could be, these uses would make sense in this location given

[19:29] that road pattern or in a different location.

[19:33] Those scenarios would be solidified as part of this master planning process.

[19:37] The infrastructure would be installed, and then the individual groups would come through later,

[19:43] and they have their own processes that they would have to go through to solidify exactly the details,

[19:48] 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.

[19:58] and then

[20:00] 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.

[20:10] 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.

[20:21] And from a time frame perspective again, with an anticipated closing in February of next year,

[20:28] there would be the demolition of the structures and the start of the master plan process,

[20:35] all leading up to the recommended concept of being approved,

[20:41] the negotiation of the lease agreements with the various partners,

[20:44] and then there's the opportunity, depending on permitting and such,

[20:48] for mass grading of the site, the infrastructure, the roadways to be constructed, and then the

[20:54] development parcels would go through their individual regulatory review processes and

[21:00] permitting process prior to the beginning construction, which could occur likely in the summer

[21:05] of 2027.

[21:08] With that, staff, there's available to answer any questions.

[21:11] Thank you, Dr. Brady.

[21:13] Yeah, if I could just provide a bit of additional context on what I am so related to

[21:18] to the due diligence material.

[21:20] So as Director Brady mentioned, included is part of the resolution that would authorize

[21:25] the purchase of various studies that had been recently completed by a prospective developer

[21:31] who had the property under contract for purchase and had contemplated a potential residential

[21:36] development on the property.

[21:38] So as part of that arrangement, they have offered us to purchase those studies that were recently

[21:42] completed at a discounted rate.

[21:44] and so that's the various studies that we would be asking for authorization to purchase.

[21:51] I'd like to get board feedback and questions at this point who would like to go first,

[21:57] Dr. Cooper.

[22:01] Dr. Brady, thank you for that overview. I have two questions.

[22:05] One is I think residents have had some questions regarding the value of the property,

[22:11] And I think that it's my understanding is that this is a very strong purchase price for us,

[22:19] very favorable for Glenview, would you be able to touch on that a little bit?

[22:24] That's correct.

[22:26] From what the going rates are, or when you were to do an analysis of adjacent parcels that

[22:35] would be industrial parcels, the village is getting a very good deal with respect to the

[22:40] purchase price.

[22:42] 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.

[22:56] District 34's got some needs, perhaps, for their administration building. Would you be able to touch on any of that?

[23:04] And, like, likelihood that that might fit into this space as well.

[23:07] Yes, as part of that master planning effort, all various partners would be considered from those public taxing bodies.

[23:17] As an example from high schools perspective, if you will.

[23:22] 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.

[23:35] And then vice versa, there's always a significant demand for parking, especially from the students.

[23:41] 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.

[23:51] And then some of the sports fields that might be on the high school's current campus would be converted to parking.

[23:56] Those are all potential available opportunities as part of the ultimate master planning on the site.

[24:03] Thank you. I don't have any more questions but I have some more comments on that.

[24:08] Yeah, please.

[24:10] Oh, do you want to go now?

[24:10] I don't want to go back.

[24:11] Go ahead.

[24:12] Okay. Just a couple of comments.

[24:15] I think this is pretty exciting.

[24:18] It's forward thinking to be able to take a big piece of property like this

[24:22] and really fit it into our community.

[24:26] There are not a lot of opportunities left to have such a big space.

[24:30] 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.

[24:58] Thank you.

[25:00] We trust you, Cooper. Trustee Sedori? Thank you. I've just a few questions. The first question, you referenced

[25:10] it a little bit earlier on the site constraints. Can you give me some examples or give all of us

[25:15] some examples of what you refer to, specifically when you say site constraints? Sure. So, one of

[25:21] the first things you would look at is where's the best locations for access points to the site. So,

[25:27] 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.

[25:39] So the concept being is you wouldn't want to have those curb cuts into the site being located close to the intersection.

[25:45] 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.

[25:51] So for instance, you have an existing lake and pond in these locations that do serve a stormwater

[26:00] detention and there are some trees that are located in some of these areas.

[26:05] So you would identify if you're looking to do stormwater detention on the site and you already

[26:10] have some of those facilities that could provide that stormwater detention, are those

[26:14] some things that remain in place and then you kind of work around some of those items.

[26:18] Additionally, you have different types of land uses that are associated with being adjacent to the railroad tracks.

[26:25] So some of these are industrial sites on the south side or some commercial areas.

[26:30] This is the village's pump station.

[26:34] And then you have the Glen Lake Estate's neighborhood on the other side.

[26:39] So what are some good adjacencies that might happen from a land use concept?

[26:43] You know, might an area up here where you can't, there isn't enough room to have a significant sports field.

[26:51] 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.

[26:57] Is the use of that area maybe prone to being like a neighborhood park or something along those lines instead of something else?

[27:03] 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

[27:11] is the uses for the site.

[27:15] Thank you.

[27:16] And I understand that we're obviously fairly early in the process, but have we considered

[27:19] what the public process will look like in terms of gaining that feedback in the master plan

[27:24] process?

[27:26] It would look like this schedule of steps that I laid out here.

[27:31] There'd be a public process.

[27:33] Obviously, we have to get through some engineering issues as far as sighting where some of

[27:40] and strengths and identifying some of those,

[27:42] and then understanding what the partners that will be

[27:45] as part of this process and what potential needs are

[27:50] to then bring forth some concepts for public discussion,

[27:55] which then goes into some site planning and development

[27:58] of several concepts for feedback to then narrow that down

[28:01] to something that's ultimately recommended

[28:02] as part of the master plan concept that would be utilized.

[28:07] And in the past, we've done sessions here

[28:08] and in Park Center and things like that in order to gain public feedback.

[28:12] Will that be part of the process?

[28:13] Yeah, there can be things where there's, you know, public meetings at the Village Hall,

[28:18] there's opportunities for open houses and things of that nature to go over what some of the concepts

[28:22] are into gain feedback on the types of uses that the community wants to see for the site.

[28:28] And I understand, obviously, there are legal requirements for notification to residents and neighbors

[28:34] who are directly adjacent to the property beyond those.

[28:37] How do we plan on providing information to the greater public who's going to have a clear interest

[28:43] in this would this be using our emails, text message systems, whatever, in order to give

[28:50] people that as much information as possible, so they're aware of it.

[28:53] Eagle and View, the newsletter, we'd probably set up a page on our website.

[28:57] We develop a contact list, so any time that there was an opportunity for public feedback,

[29:03] we could notify those folks and they could show up or they could provide their feedback.

[29:08] through the website, we could do all of those items.

[29:12] Excellent.

[29:13] Thank you.

[29:14] I think that's just an important part of this whole process.

[29:17] It's not just something that's being created in someone's sandbox,

[29:23] and forced down to everyone else's throws.

[29:24] I think it's important to be able to feed back into account.

[29:28] Because there's lots of good ideas out there in the community.

[29:30] We learn that through the Connect process.

[29:32] I want to change the direction of the question going more toward the funds that are being

[29:38] used and how we're purchasing this agreement because I think that's an important part.

[29:42] So I don't know if we can go into a little bit of detail about where the funds are coming

[29:47] from and how this was being structured and some of the other ideas that we're being thought

[29:51] about and why this was the more desirable way to go.

[29:54] Okay, I will handle that one.

[29:56] I'll trust you, Sidori.

[29:58] So the village looked at...

[30:00] 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.

[30:16] So, to use our funds on hand-in-is, trust our director Brady said, subsequently, then negotiating

[30:25] leases with identified users to recoup our costs, including foregone interests, most

[30:32] advantageous to use our funds and go through that method.

[30:36] I could just add, so, just add on, it's not excess funds that we have, we're utilizing

[30:42] existing fund balance that is part of our fund balance policies for our various different

[30:47] funds, to borrow money from those funds, and then we will be paying those funds back over

[30:53] time.

[30:54] So as Deputy Manager Bose said, it was clearly a cost savings to do it that way and we have

[31:01] the ability to do that within our fund structure.

[31:05] Thank you.

[31:05] I really do appreciate this methodology in the time that it takes to think about it because

[31:09] I think initially, when we were discussing concepts around here, I think all of us had an

[31:15] reminder, we're going to have to take out loans and take on additional debt in order to

[31:19] do that.

[31:20] So I think this is a really intelligent way and intelligent approach.

[31:25] I suppose the only question that I would have related to this then is maybe it's more

[31:36] point of clarification when we say funds, we've talked a lot about the permanent fund.

[31:40] None of these dollars are coming out of the permanent fund. Is that accurate?

[31:43] Right now, the current plan is to possibly use five to six million from the permanent

[31:49] fund, but that is to be decided that could be changed moving forward, but as managed

[31:54] reform, because that these are all funds that we do currently have available. But then

[32:00] of 21 funds. It's kind of something I should clarify. 25 funds within the village and this is

[32:08] probably out of about eight of those funds. It's available fund balance we currently have. We're

[32:14] looking at more as we're using the funds almost as an investment structure. Thank you. So I think that's

[32:22] all the questions I have and just following trustee Cooper's comments. I want to start by really

[32:27] recognizing all of the work that I might

[32:30] staff to think creatively and to all involving

[32:32] other jurisdictions and agencies.

[32:35] We've heard some criticism around the lack of perceived

[32:38] or perceived lack of specificity in the end result.

[32:41] I certainly understand where that's coming from.

[32:43] I recognize that it may be frustrating.

[32:45] But I hopefully you see tonight that there is a lot of planning

[32:47] going in place to make sure that everyone's opinions are

[32:50] taken into account.

[32:52] It is important to understand that a lot of this

[32:55] happens at the direction of the board,

[32:56] taking into account many things, including the impact of potential alternative developments

[33:02] on the community.

[33:04] The impact of this decision tonight can not be overstated.

[33:08] This is going to be seen as the largest investment in this community since the Glen, and

[33:13] I'm purposely using the word investment.

[33:15] This is not a decision or an investment that is being taken lightly.

[33:20] There are going to be people who are just fundamentally against the use of tax dollars

[33:24] our funds to fund private development. To those people I hear you but my message is going to

[33:32] be that you and I are just going to simply disagree. I'm a firm believer that in order to build

[33:37] the community that we all want, we cannot sit back and say as one trustee once said to me when

[33:43] I was sitting in the member of the public that we don't have the power to build the change that

[33:48] we want. So we have a school system that was just recently ranked the top in the country.

[33:54] And with that success, we'll come in increased demand on the homes in Glenview.

[34:00] As that occurs, our property values will increase.

[34:04] But obviously with that, so we'll stress us on our schools and it's amazing teachers.

[34:09] So I give a ton of credit to this board and people like Trustee Jones, who have urged us to be careful

[34:16] of the amount of residential development that we're adding to the community.

[34:19] And at the same time, the community has really been clear that adding more industrial warehousing,

[34:25] particularly near hospitals and schools, is not how we want our village to be defined.

[34:31] This board, in this community, through processes like Lemview Connect, other public input,

[34:36] have challenged our staff to come up with an idea that really checks boxes in a number of categories,

[34:41] including sustainability and green space.

[34:44] school district needs or strengths there, and the needs of the part district, and as many

[34:48] constituents both young and old, there is clearly far more to come, more feedback

[34:53] is needed from staff, from other jurisdictions, from the board, and most importantly from

[34:58] the public, which I think will hear from somebody.

[35:00] We have already received e-mails with many different ideas, all of which should and will be considered,

[35:07] weighed, balanced, and decided via an inclusive and transparent public process. I'm very

[35:12] very much in support of this proposal.

[35:17] Thank you, Trustee Sedoti. Do you plan?

[35:24] I don't have any questions. I too will voice my support for this, basically for four reasons,

[35:33] some of which have already been stated here.

[35:37] Number one, it's just a very unique opportunity to be in control and collaborate with citizens

[35:44] and constituencies as we've talked about the various taxing bodies to create a smart master plan

[35:51] and ultimately convert this away from industrial use. I don't think anybody

[35:56] is in favor of seeing industrial, that parcel, maintaining its industrial zoning, and so I just view this as a really unique opportunity.

[36:14] Number two, it is a good deal for the village as Director Brady mentioned.

[36:21] 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.

[36:49] And then lastly, has just been discussed, we're saving a lot of costs here in the way that

[36:57] we're going to be financing this out of the various funds.

[37:02] The alternatives were as deputy director, Bozley said, either floating bond here or getting

[37:10] some sort of bank financing, which would have had fees attached to it, not just the

[37:19] interest. So this is a really creative way of investing our funds because we are constrained

[37:28] by the state and how we can invest our funds. So we're really investing back into Glenn

[37:33] View. Not dissimilar to what we're doing downtown, by the way, with a permanent fund,

[37:40] in creating an endowment for future boards 20, 20 years down the road.

[37:47] So this is very much in line with what we're doing downtown, and I just view it as a really

[37:54] tremendous opportunity.

[37:56] I mean, interestingly enough, we have a much better bond rating than the banks that proposed

[38:03] or provided term sheets for the financing.

[38:05] So, kind of bags of the question why would we ever do financing with a private entity that

[38:14] had a worse off bond rating than we would, we're much more creditworthy.

[38:20] So for all of those reasons, I'm in strong support for this.

[38:26] Thank you, Trustee Blan.

[38:28] Trustee Duvalian, I know that's sure Amazon is up as well.

[38:33] 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.

[38:50] 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,

[38:57] in, throughout less gone view, prominently stating no Amazon distribution center.

[39:02] And I think we've come a long way from that time.

[39:06] I agree with Trustee Sidoti that no industrial property should be in such close proximity to high schools or hospitals

[39:12] when there are new drivers and urgent ambulance transports that take place in around that area.

[39:21] As we move forward, we must continue to be mindful that we are a village that is made of fabric

[39:26] of neighborhoods. We're not in industrial court or city, and with this purchase coupled with

[39:32] the residential recent residential development that's ongoing at Willow and Kingston.

[39:36] We can continue to remain resolute that West Glenview should not be in industrial zone

[39:41] and certainly our gateway should give that impression. We have before us not only an exciting

[39:47] but an incredibly unique opportunity. I heard that word unique from multiple trustees

[39:52] to create a space with community and put in feedback.

[39:56] A space that will give back to going view 10 fold in the decades.

[40:01] 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.

[40:14] As a trustee, I'm committed to community engagement and hearing from the residents. I believe we all are.

[40:20] The comprehensive plan set for several ideas for this area, which also included residential, but residential.

[40:26] And I'm going to echo Trustee Sedone on this.

[40:29] It adds a substantial burden to our schools and our districts.

[40:33] Another option that was in our comprehensive plan was green space.

[40:36] And this board has been committed to sustainability and environmental initiatives.

[40:40] I'm excited about the opportunity that this land presents in this regard as well.

[40:45] We can also drop on the community sentiment that we collected.

[40:49] When we collected data and are going to be connect process where the community spoke loudly and clearly

[40:54] that they wanted more active village involvement and control over certain

[40:58] persons of land in order to prioritize the needs and desires and the best

[41:03] interest of our community. I am confident that this opportunity is one that we

[41:10] should not let pass us by. If we let it pass us by, the opportunity to align with

[41:17] those needs and desires of the community goes with that. The way that this staff has

[41:22] structured. This purchase is smart. It's thoughtful. It's fiscal year responsible. It's

[41:29] structured in a way that generates revenue and interests in the upcoming years. They did an

[41:34] incredible job of turning over every stone-tinture fiscal responsible planning and did the

[41:40] market research necessary to give us the best opportunity for purchase price. As part of, as part

[41:52] inspection and I know one thing that's before us is the request to purchase phase one and phase two of them

[41:59] environmental studies including an asbestos sunny and also survey. I am fully in support of that.

[42:07] You know this site is also adjacent to the former Navy burn pit and it was an industrial site so

[42:14] really digging down deep into any environmental related issues are really important

[42:20] 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.

[42:37] 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.

[42:44] I'm enthusiasticly in support of this proposal in ambia and excited to engage in the next steps.

[42:52] Thank you, Trustee DeBony.

[42:54] Do you want to see Jones?

[42:58] I'd like to just start out by saying that I echo all of my fellow trustees and I think that everybody

[43:05] stated really important and insightful comments that I completely concur with.

[43:15] I do have a couple of questions and this is some of them may or may not be able to be answered right now,

[43:23] but just something to just kind of address. Who will be part of the master plan?

[43:30] So obviously you're going to get community outreach, but will there be an outside or outsourced group that's in charge?

[43:39] Is it going to be village staff? Like who is going to be part of that master plan?

[43:42] We haven't gone through all of the details on how that will work.

[43:48] There may be a consultant that's brought on board to kind of facilitate the process.

[43:55] Obviously, any of the identified partners would be part of the process.

[44:00] In addition to the public as we go through various areas,

[44:03] Village staff is going to be heavily involved.

[44:06] We'll have to have engineers, planners kind of laying out some of the various potential

[44:11] concepts given the roadway configurations that could go through the site and then how the various

[44:16] parcels line up with whatever types of uses are discussed as being the priorities for inclusion

[44:23] into the site. So we'll come up with a more detailed master planning process and time frame while we're

[44:31] working through the next 90 days prior to the closing process. Okay, thank you. The other thing I just

[44:40] kind of make comment on is obviously we are doing this as partly a revenue-generating

[44:50] investment but I do want to emphasize that since this is hopefully going to benefit the full

[44:58] community that

[45:00] When we're looking at these lease agreements that it's not just money that is prioritized in these

[45:08] leases and that we take into account some of the needs and desires of multiple facets and different

[45:18] cross jurisdictional bodies that can benefit from this too and it's not solely based on the money.

[45:29] But otherwise, I fully support of this.

[45:35] Thank you, Trustee Jones.

[45:36] Anyone?

[45:41] I'm going to open it up to public comment at this time.

[45:46] For 11, I have two speaker cards in front of me.

[45:51] If you would like to speak and have not yet filled out a speaker card, please do so.

[45:57] To my right, your left on here at the table, hand it to the recording secretary.

[46:02] 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.

[46:18] With that, the first speaker card I have is Mr. Skip Newman.

[46:22] Good

[46:27] evening.

[46:30] I live nearby this area, so I'm quite familiar with it.

[46:34] I thought about this for a long time.

[46:36] And the village has that opportunity to look at this.

[46:38] But let's look at it.

[46:39] And what it is now.

[46:40] And what it could have been, or should have been, is it not relevant.

[46:43] We need to focus on what can the village do now.

[46:46] The reality is, the signal is going to sell.

[46:47] If you're going to sell to somebody, we know what the industrial zoning is.

[46:51] And we all agree, nobody wants that.

[46:53] Nobody wants a 174-24-hour truck base.

[46:55] That Germany wanted to do two years ago.

[46:57] So industrial is out, we all know the office market is basically dead suburban office buildings are being shut down

[47:04] So there's no there's no office buyer retail pretty well saturated and lots of empty store front saw it

[47:11] And especially for 56 acres nobody's going to put up a regional shopping center here just not going to happen

[47:16] Medical across the street is in Debra, Northwestern and in Debra basically controlled in the right side

[47:22] So there isn't going to be another medical use that's needed in the area

[47:26] Clearly there's a residential choice, but already a TIA is going to have to deal with the Scott

[47:30] Forzman, I don't know how many kids that's going to be maybe a hundred or something.

[47:34] So this is going to put a strain on 34.

[47:36] 225 South is already busting at the seams and as I think way more students than North.

[47:42] So putting more students at South isn't going to help that situation as well.

[47:47] Obviously that comes down to the public option, which would be what we're talking about,

[47:51] whether it's sports fields or otherwise,

[47:54] or maybe 34 once another school, I don't know,

[47:57] doesn't matter.

[47:58] I think the key thing is taking this away

[48:01] from public developers, there's already rumors

[48:04] about something being done at the CVS property

[48:07] on Sanders there about being,

[48:10] they're calling it light industrial, whatever that means.

[48:12] So I think this is a great opportunity

[48:15] for a public thing, controlled by the public,

[48:19] and not subject to the whims of a developer

[48:21] for who wants to do something else in Dustfield.

[48:24] So I'm quite supportive of this.

[48:25] Thank you.

[48:27] Thank you for your comments.

[48:30] The next speaker card I have is for Liam Sites.

[48:35] Good evening.

[48:43] Good evening, President Jenny.

[48:45] William Sites, I trust you.

[48:47] William Sites, 1869, Burry Street.

[48:49] So I sent comments into you.

[48:52] So I'm back in a week by comments.

[48:54] I've heard your comments.

[48:55] So I know how you're going to vote on this.

[48:56] So, I'm going to make some various comments on this.

[49:01] I'm going to sort of repeat what I said on Thursday night relative to the budget.

[49:06] And first of all, I'm going to talk about public participation.

[49:09] And that's important on the budget and on this particular matter.

[49:15] I would like to suggest that you do another budget workshop.

[49:20] And you go through exactly how you're going to pay for this.

[49:23] 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.

[49:40] And if you want the public to participate in the budget process, you have to post those for the public to review.

[49:45] So, here, you're doing a purchase for $23 million with no budget.

[49:53] Okay, if you thought about a budget, now you talk about 2021 funds, sweeping 21 funds, then...

[50:00] 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.

[50:08] And if you want to do this to the transparent process, that's great.

[50:13] You know, I was going to suggest him, as I said in my letter, a referendum.

[50:16] Let the voters decide, just like to the ice center for the park district, which is a much larger district than yours.

[50:24] The Wagner Farm, even the library had to make a public case for money for bonds from you.

[50:30] So you don't want to do it for any of you.

[50:32] You want to spend it yourself.

[50:33] That's fine.

[50:35] So you don't want to vote no.

[50:36] That's your choice.

[50:39] So just rid of it in a few of my points here.

[50:42] And I'll be brief present.

[50:44] Again, once again, you're posting a very important topic.

[50:49] I'm short to me, short notice, Halloween, and for a Tuesday meeting, I think, you know,

[50:56] I don't think that's quite reasonable, but just getting to the specifics of this thing.

[51:02] If you look at the comprehensive plan, you want to talk about residential, 55 plus housing.

[51:07] That's a big need in this community for a affordable housing.

[51:10] You could do a residential, but in industrial, there's any foreign industrial.

[51:14] It's not Germany-type industrial, but there's a need for industrial at 30 seconds from

[51:19] And certainly,

[51:21] you know, what's the bill has been doing on getting private sector, discount

[51:29] on the purchase price?

[51:30] I'm sorry.

[51:31] It's 3% off what Dermany was going to pay for when we were occupied.

[51:37] So there's no appraisal, it's easy to cargo what would require an appraisal.

[51:43] You know, as you may know, I've been dealing with the mayor's cargo on something, but

[51:48] Thank you very much for your time.

[51:51] Be sure to come in.

[51:54] Next speaker card I have is from Bill Casey.

[52:00] Good evening.

[52:02] Good evening.

[52:04] Bill Casey, 1112, Washington Street, 20 year, 28 year resident, 23 years almost on the park port.

[52:11] And I'm here to enthusiastically hope that you will pass this.

[52:16] It will serve so many purposes as far as the park district's concern.

[52:20] 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.

[52:29] The Glenn was transformational by far. This is going to be second to that for sure.

[52:35] But when I first moved here, the Glenn and the Naval Base was being redeveloped.

[52:41] 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.

[52:48] the transfer the property to the park district, so the history is there that we have that strong

[52:54] relationship, not only would transferring land, but we've worked together in flood projects and other

[53:00] things. But this property, so transformational, it will serve many, many needs of the park district,

[53:06] which is both active recreation and passive recreation. Not to mention, the open space, the

[53:13] natural, natural, natural, natural, natural space that would help not be redeveloped.

[53:20] So I hope you can support the vote of this.

[53:23] I'll be short to blow my own, to blow our own horn, not mine.

[53:27] But you mentioned the school districts award-winning.

[53:31] I just want to let you know if you've forgotten.

[53:33] 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.

[53:41] so thank you very much. Thank you for your comments. Next I have Gerald Barry.

[53:56] Good evening.

[53:58] You've been Jerry Barry 1311 pine street.

[54:05] Interesting presentation.

[54:09] $23 million. Kind of an ad hoc. Oh by the way we've spent $23 million. Here's our plan.

[54:20] Um,

[54:23] let's, you know, all the, all the presentations here, this is about the most

[54:28] determinately vague proposal I've ever heard in my life, you know, we're going to

[54:34] maybe part, we're going to, we're going to, maybe part, we're going to, maybe part

[54:38] error with the schools, Glenbrook, South, across the street, we're going to, maybe we have

[54:44] this opportunity, we have this investment,

[54:49] when did Glenn view determinately get into the

[54:51] a state speculation business, you know, we have a market out here.

[54:58] We have all kinds of people.

[55:00] 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.

[55:30] And don't take a look, too hot and walk you can road.

[55:34] And, you know, you spending money like, like, drunk and sailors and leave, and speck.

[55:44] So I hope it works out, you know, I'm familiar with going over, we moved up here as 61, cute little

[55:51] village.

[55:52] I think the fundamental original sin was tearing down the mo-roogets, the most historic property

[56:00] and Northfield Township are going to be to put up a name somewhere in a parking lot that

[56:06] now we have to break on.

[56:08] But I'll tell you what, I mean, my dad was involved as an architect on the Paris Commission

[56:15] he quit finally in frustration.

[56:21] But dealing with public money here, you have a fiduciary responsibility and it seems like

[56:28] played monopoly with public money. Thank you.

[56:32] Appreciate your comments.

[56:37] So I've got one card from a shock master.

[56:45] That I believe is all about this this particular agenda item.

[56:50] I've also got a speaker card from Max West citing environmental matters.

[56:57] Is that on this item as well?

[57:00] And then there's a speaker card concerning sidewalks on Harrison, is that for item 11A as well?

[57:11] Okay, so that we'll handle that for under item 12 matters to be presented by the public.

[57:16] Okay, great.

[57:17] Just wanted to make sure I was categorizing correctly.

[57:22] Mr. Master, would you like to come forward?

[57:27] Good evening.

[57:27] I was a great presentation by the way, director, I thought I was a really good presentation.

[57:35] My name is Shackmaster, my address is 228 Greenwood.

[57:37] I live not too far away from that location.

[57:40] We moved there about eight years ago, and I would walk by that place for the last eight years,

[57:46] saying whatever you'd do something about this.

[57:48] So first of all, I support this.

[57:51] I have five kids, four of them that are going to graduate from the Columbia School District,

[57:58] that have graduated a couple of them from GBS, one is in GBS, one is going to go in GBS

[58:02] in five, four years.

[58:04] I am also involved in youth, you know, I'm a president of a local, a nonprofit community

[58:13] based program football program that is a theater program for GBS and I would tell you that

[58:19] we are always looking for space, right?

[58:21] The youth need a place, somewhere to play, somewhere to just hang out and we don't have

[58:27] enough of that. Some of our youth are going over the Wilodol, which is not Glendue. Some

[58:33] of us somewhere youth are going over the Northbroke complex, which is not Glendue. And

[58:39] it's great that something like this is going to happen here across the street from GPS, where

[58:44] more youth will come and come and play. And so I'm ecstatic, and I just wanted to just say,

[58:50] you know, I want to come over here personally, I've never done this before. So it's my first time

[58:53] speaking in front of folks, folks like you.

[58:55] So my little nervous, but this is awesome.

[58:58] I think I could see a vision where there's a turf field,

[59:02] where families are coming out,

[59:03] and you know whether kids playing soccer,

[59:05] playing football, playing baseball,

[59:08] and I echo your sentiment about,

[59:10] Glemview is not a place of industry.

[59:12] When we first moved here to Glemview,

[59:15] we actually initially bought a house in Chicago.

[59:19] We saw this modest home in Glemview

[59:21] and we thought I'm love with the time of Glemview.

[59:22] And so I think what you guys are all doing is wonderful.

[59:26] I do want to acknowledge some of the other comments

[59:28] made about making sure that we dot the eyes and cross the T's.

[59:33] And I imagine that you always trust these.

[59:35] We'll do that.

[59:35] That there's a backstop measure that if something

[59:38] doesn't look right, smile right, then you guys will stop it.

[59:40] And I trust you that you guys will do that.

[59:42] But I'm excited about this proposal.

[59:44] And I would love to be a partner with the Columbia Park District

[59:47] where I'll be partners to try and help you

[59:48] do up some area for the community.

[59:51] Thank you.

[59:52] Thank you for your comments.

[59:57] The last speaker card I have is for Mr.

[1:00:06] Good evening, thank you everyone for your service. I love this idea of redeveloping this former

[1:00:13] signal property. I love it and I love what you're proposing here. So let me just set that out there.

[1:00:22] been a resident for 20 years, I've never been here before, but I specialise in environmental

[1:00:28] insurance. I have 27 years of environmental insurance experience in the Chicago area.

[1:00:34] And I've insured sites like the Loyola Academy when they put the playing fields on there

[1:00:38] and the Annetsburg property in Northbrook. And I share that with you because you're moving

[1:00:43] fast here and I've actually insured this site in the past for signode when it split from

[1:00:50] So I want why I share this is just to be careful with the environmental information and you are, right?

[1:01:00] You're looking at the phase one and phase two.

[1:01:04] And you're purchasing a phase one and phase two from a previous consultant or just want to just highlight something.

[1:01:11] Phase one's are only valid for six months, right?

[1:01:14] because they offer also offer circular, super fun protections.

[1:01:18] I want you to get that re done re issued for you if you do go forward

[1:01:24] because that offers protections for you.

[1:01:29] In addition, I want to highlight look at the obviously you're going to look at the

[1:01:44] that's out there in the last four years, it's now regulated.

[1:01:48] You're going to see that. You may see that in firefighting foam in sprinklers.

[1:01:53] That's one place to look. If they had placing operations,

[1:01:56] you've got to look carefully at that. You're going to work with an environmental consultant

[1:02:01] who can educate you on that. But also I advise you to look at

[1:02:07] work potentially. If those got issues, you raise work with an environmental attorney.

[1:02:11] I'm not a legal guy. I'm just insurance, but I'm focused in this area and redeveloping things like this.

[1:02:19] 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?

[1:02:29] You've heard you talk about the budget. This kind of insurance protects against that unknown.

[1:02:35] What if we run into this? You've got big building slabs that you're going to be working with here.

[1:02:39] and the option you've got about 30 seconds.

[1:02:41] All right, thank you.

[1:02:42] And that may generate an unknown liability.

[1:02:46] And that's really what I just wanted to educate you on.

[1:02:49] And that therefore could help you control your budget

[1:02:53] for this.

[1:02:54] Nothing more than that.

[1:02:55] I want to see this go forward.

[1:02:57] This is wonderful.

[1:02:59] So thank you.

[1:03:01] Thank you for your comments.

[1:03:07] Seeing no other public comment on this matter,

[1:03:09] I'll bring it back to the board for any further trustee.

[1:03:13] comments or a motion to approve.

[1:03:18] Motion to approve. Motion from Trustee

[1:03:22] Blan with a second from Trustee Sedoti. Good afternoon.

[1:03:25] roll call, please.

[1:03:28] Trustee Gaboni? Yes.

[1:03:30] Trustee Jones? Yes. Trustee Sedoti? Yes. Trustee Blan? Yes.

[1:03:34] Trustee Cooper? Yes. Motion carries. Thank you.

[1:03:38] That brings us to agenda item 12 matters to be presented by the public.

[1:03:43] I do have one speaker card here.

[1:03:45] Is it cashier surlag?

[1:03:53] Protocols are the same.

[1:03:54] Just come up and state your name and your address.

[1:03:58] And we'll give you three minutes to offer your comments.

[1:04:01] We thank you so much.

[1:04:03] Nice to meet you all.

[1:04:03] My name is Cashier surlag.

[1:04:05] I'm a resident of 32, 39,

[1:04:08] Rotor Avenue in Glendale.

[1:04:10] I'm here on behalf of moms of Glendale

[1:04:13] and by my area.

[1:04:15] I'm here especially to ask for installation of sidewalks and Harrison Avenue.

[1:04:21] I did roll it up. It's my first time swimming from a little nervous.

[1:04:24] But basically the area at the McAfrica had really changed in our area.

[1:04:28] We have a lot of young families moving in small children.

[1:04:32] Mom's moving with a shoulder around the street of a north street of Harrison.

[1:04:39] And the area became quite kind of dangerous for people to walk through

[1:04:42] because there's no lights in the area, the kind of sunervous deep breath.

[1:04:49] You know, there's that in a flight there.

[1:04:52] People are moving to the rest of the streets,

[1:04:55] moms with the strollers, elderly people, people walking in their dogs.

[1:05:00] 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.

[1:05:30] I said, guys, I can collect more if needed, and that's about it.

[1:05:36] I just want to thank you for your time, and for your service, it's not $23 million.

[1:05:39] I'm asking for a tiny project, but I think it's going to make our community safer,

[1:05:45] and I'm so happy on this, nervous yelling at the kids on the street.

[1:05:50] Thank you very much.

[1:05:52] Thank you.

[1:05:53] Would you like to share the petition with you?

[1:05:55] Sure.

[1:05:55] I want to give it to the recording secretary over here, and we'll take a look at it.

[1:05:59] 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.

[1:06:13] Any other matters to be presented by the public?

[1:06:17] 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.

[1:06:30] You can come in, come by, talk to us, figure out what else is going on in your strong

[1:06:36] state of the village.

[1:06:37] So I look forward to seeing you meet seeing many of you there.

[1:06:40] With that, we'll go to item 13, is there a motion to adjourn?

[1:06:44] Motion to adjourn?

[1:06:46] Second.

[1:06:47] Motion from Trustee Sedoti, with a second from Trustee Deboni, all those in favor, please

[1:06:51] signify by saying aye.

[1:06:53] Aye.

[1:06:53] All those opposed?

[1:06:55] Motion carries.

[1:06:56] We are adjourned.

[1:06:57] Have a great evening, Glenview.
