[4:12]
We'll move forward in the agenda a little bit to talk about character counts and just a comment to use Scouts.
[4:17]
It's wonderful of you to show your citizenship on character counts evening, so thank you.
[4:25]
We're marking this occasion for the start of the National Character Council week, which runs October 21st through the 27th.
[4:34]
And I'm going to ask if my fellow board members and those up front here and all the audience,
[4:41]
please rise and join us in the pledge of character counts.
[4:45]
I'll ask you to repeat after me.
[4:47]
Raise your right hand.
[4:50]
I pledge to be a person of character.
[4:55]
I will be worthy of trust.
[4:59]
I will be worthy of trust.
[5:00]
Respectful and responsible. I will be respectful and responsible. I will act with fairness. I will act with fairness. I will be a good citizen and show that I care. Thank you very much.
[5:18]
I'd like to comment a little bit about the principle of public service ethics that we board members and other elected officials in the community serve under. I've adapted
[5:31]
some of these from the Character Council's website. As you know many of the pillars and we'll
[5:37]
cover several of them. Trust, public office is a trust, use it to advance public interest,
[5:45]
not personal gain. This will safeguard public confidence. Fairness, we must make decisions based
[5:53]
on merits, free from partiality, prejudiced or conflicts of interest. We need to promote citizenship.
[6:01]
We do that by conducting government openly, efficiently, equitably, and honorably so the
[6:08]
public can make informed judgments and hold public officials accountable.
[6:14]
We act with respect.
[6:16]
We honor and respect democratic principles.
[6:19]
We observe not only the letter but the spirit of the law.
[6:23]
We promote an atmosphere of respectful dialogue.
[6:26]
In caring, it's important that we treat each and every citizen's concern with respect.
[6:34]
In responsibility, we are responsible to do our homework.
[6:38]
We need to come prepared to meetings so that decisions are based on facts and fair analysis.
[6:45]
So that is how the Village Board and other elected officials in Glenview help to show the
[6:49]
character counts here in Glenview.
[6:52]
With that, we'd like to honor all the award winners tonight, the annual poster contest
[6:59]
is special this year more than 1,635 kids at 13 schools entered posters.
[7:07]
I'd like to introduce our character council co-chairs this year who will present the award.
[7:13]
First Jim Brie, who is president of the Board of Education for Glenview, Northbrook School
[7:18]
District and Attorney with Query and Harold and Mark Walther who is
[7:23]
Principal of Hoffman School in Glenview School District of 34.
[7:27]
The
[7:55]
co-chairs of Character Counts hearing Glenview along with Jim Breen.
[8:00]
Mr. Walther, I think I'll have to ask you to use the other mic and not sure that one's picking it up.
[8:06]
Sorry.
[8:11]
Terrific. You don't want Character Counts in Glenview is just an incredibly
[8:16]
The vital and valuable organization, and of all the things we do,
[8:21]
truthfully, tonight is one of our favorite times to be here.
[8:25]
And we're absolutely delighted and privileged to carry in board
[8:28]
that you give us the opportunity to do this.
[8:31]
There are so many things that kids today need to do,
[8:35]
and not just kids, all of us.
[8:38]
And so, when Kerry recites the pledge, those are things
[8:41]
that should mean very much to all of us, not only at school,
[8:45]
but in the workplace, in our homes, in our community.
[8:49]
And we try so very hard to do all of those things as an organization
[8:52]
here in town with character counts.
[8:55]
We have an incredible poster contest as Carrie mentioned
[8:57]
over 1,600 entries this year.
[9:01]
There's an essay contest later in the year
[9:03]
and we have a growing business partnership
[9:06]
here in the village that at some time
[9:09]
we'll be back to tell you much more about.
[9:11]
We're really excited about involving the chamber
[9:13]
and the businesses here in the village.
[9:16]
But tonight, boys and girls, this is all about you.
[9:19]
And so a special thanks to the Glenview State Bank
[9:23]
and Mary Novotny, and Mary, if you could come forward
[9:26]
without your support, this would be very difficult.
[9:29]
To pull off,
[9:37]
there are really some special US savings
[9:40]
minds, boys and girls for each of you.
[9:43]
And we'll be letting you know a little bit more about that
[9:45]
in just a few minutes.
[9:46]
Special thanks to all of the United Nations for your creative efforts, but for the heart
[9:52]
that you demonstrated by participating in your beautiful work is here on display, not
[9:57]
only here at the Village Hall, but also...
[10:00]
So we'll be in the Glenview Public Library and at the park district, is that correct? I'm sorry, Glenview State Bank. And if we could make even more displays, we'll have them throughout the village, really a special job. And so all of you, congratulations.
[10:19]
There is an incredible working committee of character council members and I want to take just a special minute to recognize and introduce each one of them in the back of the room too. Officer Stacey Carver from the Glenview Police Department.
[10:31]
and
[10:37]
Greg Goodsett from the Chamber of Commerce,
[10:43]
Ellen Fagerberg from Wesley Child Care,
[10:49]
Samantha Smith, a very, very involved resident
[10:54]
and
[10:59]
equally so Betty Herman and
[11:06]
one of our parents from Glenview Northbrook School District 30 Stephanie Needahara.
[11:18]
Mark I just want to add, I think one of the nice things about this evening, character counts is something that we teach
[11:26]
and we teach it in the schools, we try to teach it on the sporting fields, we try to teach it throughout our community.
[11:34]
What tonight represents is that the students really have become the teachers.
[11:41]
Because if we can look at these posters and we study the messages that the posters try to convey,
[11:47]
it's us, you know, the people who get the benefit of this beautiful artwork that are the ones that are learning.
[11:54]
And we really have this vision for a village of Glenview where character truly does count
[12:01]
everywhere all the time.
[12:04]
So that regardless if you're in school, if you're at home, if you're on the sporting
[12:09]
field or if you're walking through one of our businesses, it reminded at all times that
[12:15]
we're a village of character.
[12:17]
And the posters and the kids who put their effort into the poster go a really a long
[12:23]
way to help me to bring this to fruition. So we thank all of them. We thank moms and
[12:31]
dads and every other family member that came out to support the students. I know Tia Stevens
[12:37]
is here from District 30. She's an art teacher and I think that's wonderful too because Tia
[12:43]
showed me the first to tell you that as a teacher she learns from her students all the time and she's
[12:50]
to support the message that the students are conveying.
[12:54]
So it really does show you that it's a community effort.
[12:58]
So congratulations to everybody, and we'll get on with the
[13:01]
recognition of our recipients.
[13:11]
All right, so boys and girls, when you hear your name
[13:13]
called, please come forward, and please bring

[13:21]

And with that we'll take just a minute because we'll start with our business
[18:39]
meeting after winners have an opportunity to go out in the hall and have a few
[18:44]
cookies again.
[18:52]
Next we'll take the minutes September 18th, 2007. These were brought
[18:58]
back for a couple of clarifications and we did get a red line version. Thank you. Any
[19:09]
additions or changes to the September 18th minutes?
[19:17]
If not, do you have a motion to approve?
[19:20]
Move.
[19:23]
Second.
[19:24]
Moved by Trustee Britton, seconded by Trustee White. All those in favor signify by saying aye.
[19:28]
Aye.
[19:28]
Any opposed? Any abstentions? Yes. Trustee Cardin abstains. Motion carries.
[19:38]
Next item. Next set of minutes are for October 2nd, 2007. The first is the special meeting with the park district.
[19:49]
Are there any additions or corrections to those minutes?
[19:58]
If not, is there a motion to approve?
[20:00]
So moved.
[20:03]
Second. Moved by Trustee Britton, seconded by Trustee White. All those in favor signify by saying aye. Any opposed? Any abstentions? I should know that I had recused myself during that meeting. Next item is the regular meeting, October 2, 2007, consisting of 10 pages. Are there any additions or corrections to pages 1 through 5?
[20:29]
I would like to make a note on page 3. Third paragraph from
[20:34]
the bottom. The last sentence, a study will be conducted regarding consolidation of
[20:42]
driveways for Wachiegen Road. There
[20:51]
are no others. Are there any two pages five
[20:53]
through ten?
[20:58]
Trustee Dettlers? President Cummings, on page eight, the second
[21:03]
paragraph, describing my comments.
[21:08]
The second line, which has was paid thousands, I
[21:14]
hundreds of thousands and then just clarifying in the very last sentence it says the attractive
[21:22]
tax situation that kind of doesn't stand at all and maybe a tax deduction situation.
[21:29]
I think it was a comment related to the seller's ability to deduct a charitable contribution
[21:39]
so if we could insert the word deduction after tax.
[21:44]
A substitute situation for deduction, a directive takes.
[21:48]
No tax deduction situation.
[21:50]
All right.
[21:51]
Okay.
[21:53]
Any other?
[21:55]
There are no further changes.

[25:09]
Motion carries. Thank you.
[25:14]
Next item is matters to be presented by the public and this is an opportunity for a public comment on the Dominics purchase. If there is anyone who would like to speak to the item, I ask that you fill out a speaker's card and submit it to our board secretary.
[25:34]
The reason for this addition in the
[25:37]
Agenda was on October 2nd at our last meeting, the board authorized a resolution for the
[25:44]
purchase of the 3.09 acre parcel located at 1020 Wachigan Road for a price to exceed
[25:52]
that price not to exceed 6,500,000. At that time, we indicated to the public that we had
[26:00]
a 30-day due diligence period and that we would provide opportunity for further public input
[26:06]
but on this very important issue.
[26:09]
So at this time, again, for those who are not familiar
[26:14]
with what is transpired here in some of the details,
[26:17]
I'd like to review some of the key aspects
[26:21]
of that decision that were reviewed
[26:23]
at our October 2nd meeting.
[26:26]
First of all, we ask the question
[26:28]
what happened to the Downtown Dominics?
[26:29]
And most people know that in April 2007,
[26:32]
11, the Safeway Corporation, which owns Dominic's closer store on Watkegan Road, just north
[26:39]
of Glenview Road.
[26:42]
Safeway has a lease on that property and that lease runs through December 31, 2012.
[26:49]
And notice, regardless of who owns that property, Safeway still controls that site until that
[26:54]
date and can sublet that property as it sees fit in accordance with the law.
[27:01]
The property was privately owned and held in a trust through Chicago Title, so that gives you a little background on the ownership of the property.
[27:10]
But why did the village decide to buy this property? Well, the village board saw this as a key location within the downtown that could serve as a catalyst for redevelopment of the downtown.
[27:23]
It's a 3.09 acre site, quite a large site and we viewed this as one of the keys to redevelopment
[27:33]
of the downtown.
[27:35]
If in fact we viewed that as that key element, how could we assure that it was going to develop
[27:41]
in accordance with the downtown revitalization plan that had been put together,
[27:47]
that vision had been put together by the community.
[27:49]
We had two options. We could take the chance that it would be developed into a less-than-optimal
[27:56]
use for the village. The current leasehold interest may have looked for a long-term leasehold
[28:04]
interest in its current form and potentially made that happen. Or we could consider purchasing
[28:13]
the site itself in a attempt to encourage the revitalization of downtown. Remember, again,
[28:18]
state law prohibits condemnation for economic development purposes and in fact we talked
[28:24]
about whether or not condemnation would be used in the redevelopment of the downtown
[28:28]
and that has been stated very clearly in the downtown plan that would not be one of our
[28:35]
options in fact in this case it would in fact be prohibited so we could either take the
[28:40]
chance that it would develop in a way that would not mirror the vision in the downtown plan
[28:44]
or we could consider purchasing the site itself.
[28:49]
Most importantly, what will it cost and how will it be paid?
[28:53]
It costs a $6.5 million and it's borrowed from the village's permanent fund.
[29:00]
It's important to know if this will not have an impact on resident taxes.
[29:05]
For those who are unfamiliar with the permanent fund,
[29:08]
it was put together through developers fees during the Glen Redevelopment,
[29:12]
and the intent and the use of that fund is earmarked for one-time capital projects outside
[29:18]
of the Glenn.
[29:20]
We'll note that the $6.5 million purchase price is substantially lower than the $9.4 million
[29:26]
appraised value of the property and also again in terms of the $6.5 million being an expenditure
[29:36]
In fact, once there is a future land sale and development of that property, the resale
[29:44]
value those funds will be used to replenish the permanent fund.
[29:49]
And also note the Safeways Additional $156,000 of rent will go back to the permanent fund.
[29:55]
So again, it doesn't impact resident taxes and
[30:00]
We will work to recoup those costs and put them back in the permanent fund. What are our goals for their sites? We want this developed in a way that furthers the vision of the downtown revitalization plan. Our goal is to fulfill the vision of this community for that area. And that really is our overarching goal for us. We want to recoup the $6.5 million purchase price to replenish the permanent fund.
[30:28]
and we're beginning to explore options with Safeway regarding its current lease.
[30:35]
How can we meet our goals?
[30:37]
We'll go through a careful decision-making process.
[30:39]
We'll weigh options.
[30:42]
Eventually, any development plans will proceed through the village's established planning zoning
[30:48]
and appearance commission process.
[30:50]
It's important to know that the public will be involved through the review process
[30:54]
that we currently have in place for development plans.
[30:57]
Once the sale is final, again, we are researching options to address the lease hold interest
[31:05]
on this property.
[31:08]
So what is the timeline?
[31:10]
We will close on the property in November following a 30-day due diligence period.
[31:16]
And again, that was why we provided an opportunity for the public to speak tonight during that
[31:22]
30-day due diligence period.
[31:24]
But once the sales final, the planning process will move ahead.
[31:30]
It may not be a quick process because we want to assure again that this development, any
[31:35]
development on that site is consistent with the vision of the community.
[31:40]
We will keep the public fully informed of progress as we move forward.
[31:48]
And certainly, again, the public will be involved in the very public process that we have
[31:53]
through all of development.
[31:57]
Again, I wanted to share again with the public the debate and some of the points that came
[32:05]
up during the discussion and the consideration of that resolution to approve the purchase
[32:10]
of the site.
[32:12]
We will continue to keep the public posted on this and I will be happy to entertain any questions
[32:18]
if there's anyone here this evening to speak to this issue.
[32:21]
I know that one gentleman asked to come this evening and was unable to come at the last
[32:26]
minute and we were able to answer some of his questions in regard to the public process.
[32:34]
No further?
[32:35]
All right.
[32:36]
We'll move to the next item and that is a public hearing and that's in regard to an annexation
[32:42]
agreement.
[32:44]
I'm sorry that one's been continued and we'll move to the consent agenda.
[32:48]
President
[32:54]
Cummings on tonight's consent agenda on their old business are items approved
[32:58]
on first reading at the October 2nd, 2007 Village Board Meeting.

[33:30]
a contract award to ADS Environmental Services of Chicago Illinois for a water distribution
[33:36]
system leak detection survey.
[33:39]
The purpose of this work is to locate unidentified water leaks in the village water system as well
[33:45]
as the village on North Maine Utilities water system.
[33:48]
The build received three bids for this project and ADS environmental was the lowest qualified
[33:53]
bidder.
[33:54]
Staff recommends a contract award to ADS for the amount of $40,758.
[34:01]
Item 92 is consideration of a resolution, accepting the infrastructure improvements for
[34:07]
the loss in Glenn subdivision.
[34:09]
The infrastructure consists of road sanitary sewers, storm sewers, and water mains that serve
[34:14]
nine residences constructed by Thomas Fox Holmes.
[34:18]
The infrastructure proposed for dedication to the village has been inspected, tested, and
[34:22]
approved by village staff, and by other required local and state agencies.
[34:27]
Item 9B-3 is consideration of a resolution authorizing a contract award to alliance contractors
[34:34]
incorporated of Woodstock, Illinois, for Willow Road, sidewalk extension project improvements.
[34:40]

[34:45]
Willow Road to create a continuous walk from Patriot Boulevard to Sherman Road.
[34:50]
The village received two bids for the project and alliance contractors was the lowest qualified
[34:55]
bidder.
[34:55]
The staff recommends a contract award to Alliance for the amount of 204,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000.
[35:00]
$34,477, and a 10% project contingency for a total proposed budget of $268,925 for the project.

[35:29]
the forthcoming Milwaukee Avenue Bridge construction project as discussed in the last
[35:34]
village board meeting.
[35:35]
The village received three bids for this project and A-Lamp was the lowest qualified bidder.
[35:40]
Staff recommends a contract award to A-Lamp for the amount of $389,176 plus a 10% contingency
[35:49]
for a total project budget of $428,093. All the funds for this contract will be fund funded
[35:57]
by ABT Electronics Company for this work. Item 95 is consideration of a resolution authorizing

The Village Components of this project includes sidewalk installation, utility relocation and drainage improvements.
[36:21]
The estimated cost for the work is $751,741.
[36:27]
However, the actual cost will depend on the actual bid prices received.
[36:31]
Staff is not requesting budget authority at this time.
[36:34]
It will be requested at a future board meeting.
[36:37]
After the item has been presented to the Village to a formal agreement with the Department of Transportation.
[36:42]
Item 96 is consideration of a resolution authorizing the execution of two, three-year contracts

[37:49]
The Village received three bids for this project, two of which were determined to be qualified
[37:53]
for consideration.
[37:55]
A staffer recommends a contract award to V3 companies, which provided the lowest qualified
[38:00]
bid of $57,000, plus a 10% contingency for a total project budget of $62,000.
[38:07]
and $700.
[38:08]
In item 98, is consideration of the approval
[38:11]
of voucher list for October 16th, 2007.
[38:17]
Thank you, Mr. Clark.
[38:19]
Are there any items that trustee would like
[38:21]
remove from the consent agenda?
[38:24]
I'm 9B-3.
[38:25]
9B-3, OK?
[38:27]
And I will ask for 9B-4.
[38:30]
Any others?
[38:32]
I'm going to P-5, OK?
[38:34]
3, 4, and 5.
[38:36]
Any others?
[38:37]
If not, could I have a motion to approve as amended?
[38:41]
So move.
[38:42]
Second.
[38:42]
We'll buy trusty cartons.
[38:44]
Seconded by trusty white.
[38:45]
Could I have a roll call please?
[38:47]
Trustee Delis?
[38:48]
Yes.
[38:49]
Trustee Carton?
[38:49]
Yes.
[38:50]
Trustee Patterson?
[38:51]
Yes.
[38:51]
Trustee White?
[38:52]
Yes.
[38:52]
Trustee Britton?
[38:53]
Yes.
[38:53]
Trustee Quizzo?
[38:54]
Yes.
[38:56]
Motion carries.
[38:57]
Thank you.
[38:58]
All right.
[38:58]
That brings us to nine.
[38:59]
The three trusty white.
[39:03]
I just wanted to bring this one forward.
[39:05]
I'm not questioning whether we should or shouldn't do it, nor am I questioning a bidding
[39:12]
process.
[39:13]
But I think the cost is, appears to be very high for sidewalk.
[39:20]
It looks like it's about $300 per lineal foot, which is multiples of what we would normally
[39:26]
anticipate, I believe.
[39:27]
And I think it just, I would like to just have it walk through for the public's benefit so that they don't feel that there's some ultra-rich project going through that doesn't make sense in the context of other sidewalk projects that we're doing.
[39:48]
Yes, again, Don Owen, Director of Capper Projects.
[39:52]
This sidewalk connection will complete the connections that we've been working on for
[39:57]
several years for Willow Road to connect Patriots.
[40:02]
As you know, we previously have connected Patriot Boulevard to the east to Waukegan, and been working on making those connections. This project, as you're familiar with that area on Willow Road, goes underneath the Union Pacific Railroad, and there's several reasons that this is a more expensive project. The probably the most important considerations are the liability and working underneath the railroad, working with Union Pacific Railroad.
[40:29]
They required very high liability requirements for covering the risk of working underneath
[40:35]
the railroad.
[40:36]
There's also several additional coordination steps that must be made with the railroad
[40:41]
and I.Dot for traffic control and making sure that there's personnel from the UPR are
[40:47]
out there when we're doing the work.
[40:49]
So that's extra time and cost to the project.
[40:52]
There's also very similar to what we did on Wagner Road.
[40:54]
If you're called a wagon road sidewalk, we installed was also a higher cost than normal because there was stormwater requirements.
[41:01]
It wasn't just putting a sidewalk in but putting in additional stormwater.
[41:05]
This project also has some stormwater components to it as it gets underneath the railroad.
[41:10]
And then there's a couple of other just smaller items that relate to it that make the cost at the component that it is.
[41:19]
Another thing that I think is important for those that don't have access to the board
[41:23]
memo, the bid range, the bid price is 244,000, 477,000, $477,000 in my sense.
[41:32]
The next bidder was over 100,000 higher, and so again, that gives us confidence of understanding
[41:38]
the risk, understanding the cost of this.
[41:41]
So it was a good cost savings by bidding it.
[41:44]
Again, it's always good to see a range, but there are several reasons as I outline why it's higher than normal.
[41:52]
Is one of the major costs the fact that we have to cut through the embankment so that we stay inside of the trusses?
[41:59]
Yes, the narrowness of the road.
[42:01]
As you're familiar with it, the sidewalk is underneath the embankment areas and the truss areas.
[42:07]
And it is much more complicated doing that section of the sidewalk.
[42:10]
So yes, that's also part of it.
[42:13]
Thank you.
[42:16]
Trustee Quizner?
[42:17]
Can I ask this question?
[42:19]
I have a hard time envisioning who's
[42:21]
going to be using this sidewalk.
[42:22]
It just doesn't seem to be an area
[42:24]
where there seems to be a great need.
[42:26]
I mean, you know, we've heard in our last meeting
[42:29]
about certain areas where kids have to go to school
[42:32]
or force the walk out of the road.
[42:34]
That could be a real problem.
[42:36]
But I have a hard time seeing who's going to use this sidewalk.
[42:40]
Some of the initial request for the sidewalk probably came seven or eight years ago from residents living in the Princeton Village area and that cold quadrant around Sherman Road.
[42:52]
One of the things that we also were trying to do was look at paths to connect regionally.
[42:57]
And this is another one of those issues about looking at these west connections that will help us connect as far east as we can go as far west.
[43:04]
So it does, even though we cannot get bike paths along Willow Road, this is going to be another
[43:09]
opportunity to have that kind of transportation connection. So those are the two main reasons
[43:13]
that we started moving this one forward. Except that, you know, the last time when we talked
[43:19]
about our bike paths, I think we, the recommendation was the sidewalks were not a good use of, you know,
[43:26]
a bike path. You want to get the bikes out on the road? That's true, and a lot of our local roads,
[43:32]
but when it comes to a willow row like an arterial, you need to either try to get a ten-foot white path
[43:38]
if it's possible if there's room in which there's not room underneath the bridge for that,
[43:41]
so you do the best you can, and the next best thing is what we're provided here, so
[43:45]
it's the best option we have available.
[43:50]
Any further questions? If not, do I have a motion to approve?
[43:55]
So moved. Second.
[43:57]
We'll buy trustee white, seconded by trustee Britain,
[44:00]
Um, execution of a contract could have a roll call please.
[44:05]
Trustee Carton?
[44:07]
Yes, Trustee Patterson?
[44:08]
Yes.
[44:08]
Trustee White?
[44:09]
Yes.
[44:10]
Trustee Britton?
[44:11]
Yes.
[44:11]
Trustee Quizner?
[44:12]
Yes.
[44:12]
Trustee Douglas?
[44:13]
Yes.
[44:14]
Motion carries.
[44:16]
Next item, 9B4, and I asked to remove that.
[44:20]
I will need to recuse myself if I could ask Trustee Patterson to ask for the motion on that.
[44:32]
Good evening.
[44:33]
this is 9B4, which is consideration of a resolution and recommendation to enter into a contract
[44:39]
with A-LAM, CRETE, Contractors Inc., Zenith Drive, Infrastructure Improvements, and the amount
[44:46]
of $389,175.70 plus a 10% contingency for a total budget of $428,093.27.
[44:56]
sense, are there any questions?
[44:58]
you
[45:00]
Is there a motion? So move. Second. May I please a roll call? Trustee Patterson? Yes. Trustee White? Yes. Trustee Britain? Yes. Trustee Quizner? Yes. Trustee Dentless? Yes. Trustee Carton? Yes. Thank you. Motion carries.
[45:28]
Next item 9B5. Resolution recommendation, author of letterment with Illinois Department of Transportation.
[45:40]
Well, it seems that this may run hand-in-hand with the Milwaukee Corridor Project, if you will.
[45:53]
It has a fairly high price tag and I'm wondering whether it is absolutely a necessary component of the Milwaukee Corridor project.
[46:07]
The primary part of the request is related to our water system as we have water systems
[46:16]
in state rights of way, we have requirements at times to relocate water mains.
[46:21]
If we have older water mains then when they do work we really take a hard look at should
[46:26]
we be improving those water mains while they're doing their work because it's a huge cost
[46:31]
savings to us since they've got the road open already and we are, this is again just at the
[46:35]
But we are working very close with iodide to try to get approval to maintain a newer section of water main and just repair a second section of it.
[46:45]
So what we put in here is the requirements that they would normally have of replacing the entire main.
[46:51]
And sometimes they require us to move it outside of their new construction zone.
[46:56]
Another benefit at this point in time is that when we're working with the state they have a 50-50 cost share program for the sidewalk.
[47:03]
So it's like getting a grant and so that we have the ability to have state money participate in the sidewalk
[47:09]
So we thought that that was a great way to get connections along Milwaukee Road
[47:14]
And then there's some minor drainage improvements. So overall the majority of this project is required
[47:19]
There's a good opportunity because of some grant like grant-like funds if you will for the sidewalk improvement
[47:24]
And so that's why I recommend it to the stage. And again, this is, I know that I'm sure probably that you understand this
[47:30]
But if the public was trying to follow this, there are two sections of Milwaukee Avenue that will be built over the next
[47:36]
This one in particular is 2008. There's another section by Lake Avenue that will be built in 2011
[47:41]
We'll come back with a separate L.O.I
[47:43]
Once we get to that stage, but this one is just for the the northern section north of Sanders Road
[47:49]
The people in the immediate area have been asking for a sidewalk
[47:53]
I don't have any direct information from
[47:57]
those neighbors. This is really a policy that we've been trying to pursue
[48:01]
putting sidewalks along our major roads and when we have the ability to get
[48:06]
cost sharing we try to take advantage of it. If you'd like we could go out and
[48:09]
request that in the interim while we're waiting for the LOI process to work its
[48:12]
way through. The only thing that struck me is if you have businesses that are
[48:20]
pretty much integrated into strip malls, I mean I don't know whether
[48:26]
the sidewalks are all that necessary. But again the sidewalk component is not the most costly
[48:33]
component of this. It looks like the water means is the more costly component and we will get some
[48:39]
matching funds from the state as far as the sidewalk is concerned. Is that right?
[48:44]
Correct, 50% of the cost.
[48:48]
Trustee White? I'm just looking at page 18 which is a summary of the
[48:55]
money's involved and I see that the second item from the bottom drainage village
[49:02]
50% share do I read that I doubt is paying 62,500 and we're paying 230,000 yes
[49:14]
that is correct and that's not a 50% isn't no that that was
[49:23]
from yes that was
[49:24]
from the initial letter intent estimate.
[49:26]
OK, so then the price has gone from $125,000 to $460,000.
[49:36]
For the drainage component only?
[49:39]
Is that what you're talking about?
[49:41]
Yeah, I mean, the sidewalk works out of $50,50.
[49:47]
But this one doesn't work out anywhere near $50,50.
[49:50]
And that was from a previous estimate for it and we have not been able to get them to participate in more than that cost.
[49:59]
to be there, but...
[50:00]
Your program generally is that they will do a 50-50 of the sidewalk, but when it comes to drainage, we have to negotiate what's needed, and if they will participate, and their initial agreement back in 2004 was for that cost share, and they would not increase that amount. Okay, so it wasn't a 50-50 share. That's right, that should have been taken out. It wasn't the time, but it's no longer. Thank you. Yes.
[50:27]
Any further questions?
[50:31]
If not, is there a motion to approve? Some of. Second.
[50:35]
Moved by Trustee Britton, seconded by Trustee Deva, could have a little call please.
[50:40]
Trustee White?
[50:41]
Yes.
[50:45]
Yes.
[50:46]
Yes.
[50:50]
Yes.
[50:50]
Trustee Deva?
[50:54]
Yes.
[50:55]
Yes.
[50:56]
Trustee Quizard?
[50:56]
Yes.
[50:57]
Trustee Deva?
[50:58]
Yes.
[50:58]
Trustee Carter?
[50:59]
Yes.
[50:59]
Yes.
[51:00]
Trustee Patterson?
[51:00]
Yes.
[51:02]
Emotion carries.
[51:03]
Thank you.
[51:04]
Thank you.
[51:04]
The old business item has been continued that brings us to 11 a first consideration of
[51:16]
a conditional final site plan ordinance for 1808, Joaquin Road, Pazano's pizza, A and
[51:21]
B,
[51:24]
director bad.
[51:42]
Thank you very much.
[51:43]
I have one slideshow for items 11 a and 11 b because they involve the same site essentially.
[51:52]
Pizadil's pizza is in pasta and 1808 walkiegan road appeared before the zoning board of appeals
[51:59]
for a parking lot variation and before the plan commission for final site plan approval
[52:05]
and for conditional use. Item 11b is the conditional use for carry out and delivery of food which
[52:18]
is a B-3 use and a B-2 zoning district. There was a 4-0 vote at the Plan Commission on
[52:24]
September 25th recommending approval of that conditional use. The ordinances within
[52:33]
your packet and the conditions for the conditional use are typical of other drive-through carry-out
[52:42]
establishments that are found throughout the village.
[52:45]
The major issue at the time commission and also with the zoning board of appeals, which
[52:51]
is item 11c, was the site plan for the project.
[52:56]
This is an aerial photograph of the 1808 property.
[53:00]
It is the site of the former Chestnut liquors and Mr. Monati, who is in the audience and can
[53:08]
answer questions about his soon-to-be-opened pizza parlor.
[53:14]
Came to the plan
[53:15]
commission originally with a number of issues relating to the operation of
[53:21]
the pizza parlor. At this point the site plan is to have an entire pizza parlor
[53:31]
inside. There's no outdoor dining, there's no deck, and that conversation really
[53:36]
relates to the number of parking spaces available at the 1808 site and at the combined sites
[53:44]
which are the buildings that you see on the aerial photograph which is the strip center
[53:48]
immediately to the north and the car wash to the west.
[53:53]
All of those properties are owned and Pazano's is renting the corner space.
[54:01]
So, at the Plan Commission, this is the site plan that was approved.
[54:05]
I apologize.
[54:06]
I'm not quite sure how to rotate.
[54:08]
But Joaquin wrote is at the bottom of the page, the existing tenants which are to the
[54:14]
north of the pizza parlor are the daycare, Enzo's salon and a law offices.
[54:23]
Those parking spaces are not a part of anything that the Pizzanos is going to be using for the pizza because they're, and so they work, because they're ours overlaps slightly, and they don't have the ability to rely upon those spaces.
[54:42]
So you can see, based on this existing site plan, which the Planning Commission approved,
[54:51]
And there are going to be 100 parking spaces.
[55:00]
Or 178 seats inside the restaurant. At the Plan Commission, they actually modified the parking spaces so that they carry out parking spaces. If you come to pick up a pizza, pick up a carry-out order, you can park very close to the door and not have to circle through the parking lot looking for a space just for that short-term delivery. They also took out a parking space related to the trash enclosure so that that would be nearby.
[55:31]
The conditional use that the zoning board heard in which is item 11c is really relating
[55:38]
to the fact that there are not enough spaces on site to provide for the 178 seats that
[55:47]
are projected to be needed or that are desired to be needed.
[55:51]
And so, what the zoning board worked out with the petitioner is a valet service from 11 a.m.
[56:01]
to midnight Monday through Thursday, 11 to 1 on Friday and Saturday, which coincides
[56:06]
with the previously approved liquor license, so that the petitioner during the peak hours
[56:13]
when there are not enough sufficient spaces on the site will be able to use valet service
[56:20]
either at Maddie's Wayside, which is a cross-walking and road south of Chestnut, you can see it just
[56:27]
in the very bottom of the aerial photograph, or the Glenview Car Wash, which is the property
[56:33]
immediately to the west of the pizza parlor. The petitioner, Mr. Monardi, has agreed to maintain a
[56:43]
parking agreement with the owner of the property to lease an additional 36 spaces, again for
[56:51]
the 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 11 to 4 on Sunday. All of these things
[56:59]
are conditioned upon if those parking agreements go away, that they would bring the number
[57:04]
of seats in the restaurant down to comply with the number of spaces that are available on
[57:10]
site that was probably the major part of the conversation at the zoning board of appeals
[57:16]
and I think I'm speaking correctly.
[57:19]
So the zoning board was willing to allow for the valley service provided that the owners
[57:27]
who are granting the rights to use valley on their properties continue to maintain those
[57:33]
of those agreements going on into the future.
[57:40]
The restaurant has been under construction, transforming it from the previous liquor store
[57:45]
to the proposed restaurant use, petitioners requesting if the board desires to approve
[57:54]
these two ordinances, a first and final consideration of the ordinance, they have a date with the
[58:03]
and would be hoping to open the restaurant by Thanksgiving.
[58:07]
And with that, I can entertain questions
[58:09]
as can Mr. Bullmash and Mr. Monotti.
[58:18]
Trustee Carton.
[58:22]
I think it's a very creative parking idea.
[58:25]
My only concern is, what kind of monitoring are we
[58:28]
going to do, or is there some kind of quarterly review,
[58:32]
semi-annually review, to make sure
[58:34]
that those parking agreements are in place?
[58:36]
We
[58:39]
did not build a specific monitoring schedule into the ordinance.
[58:49]
I think that in cases like this, what we will hear from, we can certainly check that at the times of various inspections,
[58:58]
that would be in a food inspection, the fire inspections that will take place out of routine basis there.
[59:02]
I think that basically the customers will tell us quickly whether or not there's available parking, but we certainly can build those inspections into our regular inspections and make sure that the agreements are in place.
[59:19]
Trustee Quizner?
[59:21]
Aren't the peak hours for the Pazanos going to be the same peak hours for Maddie's?
[59:27]
No.
[59:29]
No.
[59:30]
Maddie's is evening.
[59:33]
They don't mail them.
[59:35]
Right.
[59:36]
Right.
[59:36]
They only park at Maddie's during lunch.
[59:38]
Okay.
[59:39]
And Maddie.
[59:44]
Okay.
[59:44]
I think they just don't do a business at lunch.
[59:47]
So the evening is the car wash.
[59:50]
Set the overflow.
[59:52]
The whole piece.
[59:53]
Okay.
[59:53]
Okay, so the car wash is closed
[1:00:00]
The, in its valet, they don't have to use any kind of a stripping pattern that you might otherwise find in, you know, Maddie's lot or something where, where there's other uses going on. So, review again, this entire parcel, because what we're looking at in 11b is the entire parcel and revising our parking standards, so to speak, or meshing several uses to come up with
[1:00:30]
the combined parking. During the day time. Number one, where the yellow dotted line is on this,
[1:00:37]
which is toward the top of the page, they're losing one spot for loading. Is that right?
[1:00:42]
And the rest are staying in there. Okay. Is that parcel? Will those parking spaces still continue
[1:00:51]
to serve the businesses that are to the north during the day and then Maddie's is the overflow for
[1:00:59]
the lower portion or is it the idea that all those uses will combine to compete for those spaces?
[1:01:07]
I think the man is the overflow during the day because the day care and the salon are busy during
[1:01:17]
the day and obviously the car wash is not available during the day. Sure, you can mark that plan.
[1:01:22]
See if you can work it out. I spend many hours reviewing this. I think I have a little bit better
[1:01:27]
grass, although in this pocket, an excellent job. My name is Gene Bullmash for the record,
[1:01:32]
the Founding Bullmash. The convoluted plant essentially boils down to this. Our release
[1:01:38]
with the property owner gives us the exclusive right to use the yellow, the parking spots
[1:01:44]
within the yellow dash space, the yellow dash area on the picture, which is 36 spots.
[1:01:56]
So that
[1:01:57]
388 seats, 3 seats for every parking space. The rest of the common-owned property which
[1:02:04]
consists of the car wash and the strip center to the north, they have the right to use
[1:02:09]
the other parking spaces during their business hours. Their business hours end at 6 p.m.
[1:02:15]
at the latest every day. After 6 p.m. we have a letter from the landlord which says we have
[1:02:20]
to the entire parcel. So that gives us another, I think, 40 spots in the evening on site.
[1:02:28]
We also have, we have a site plan which we can show on the envelope you want. We can
[1:02:33]
valet park up to 50 cars in the non-striped car wash area in the drive aisles on either
[1:02:41]
side of the car wash building. We can angle park 50 cars. So in the evening, if the entire
[1:02:48]
lot fills up by customer parking we can valley park in additional 50 spots. In
[1:02:53]
addition to that we have an agreement with Matty's wayside in from 11 a.m. to
[1:02:57]
11 p.m. it allows us to valley park 40 cars in their surplus parking. So they have
[1:03:04]
enough parking for their entire seating during their entire hours plus 40
[1:03:09]
spots that they allow us to use from 11 to 11. So we feel that we have more than
[1:03:16]
enough parking at all times of the day. It's just a question of whether it's customers parking
[1:03:20]
themselves or using the free valet service that will either be parked initially in the car wash
[1:03:26]
box. It's closer, or if during the day they'll go with the valet, we'll run it over to place.
[1:03:31]
Okay. What I'm trying to understand is how you manage the situation. Okay. The child care center,
[1:03:40]
law office and NSOs. You've got people coming in during lunch and they start
[1:03:46]
parking up in spaces that those customers traditionally use. They're not part
[1:03:52]
of your VAILA service and when they come to those businesses in your patrons
[1:04:00]
have parked in those spots. How are there enough spots left for somebody who's going
[1:04:07]
the childcare center, they're not going to look to you for valet. I'm trying to see how
[1:04:12]
that portion is going to be managed. Well, I think ultimately we'll work with the landlord.
[1:04:17]
It's obviously in our best interest and landlord's best interest to keep everybody happy.
[1:04:21]
So if that were to happen again, I think the car wash, the childcare, I think most of
[1:04:26]
their clients are drop off pick up. I don't think they have a huge parking situation.
[1:04:32]
Most of their people are pulling in the front and dropping off and leaving.
[1:04:35]
But I think ultimately if our clients are parking elsewhere, then I think the other tenants
[1:04:42]
are going to have a problem.
[1:04:43]
They're going to go to land land land.
[1:04:44]
We're going to come to us.
[1:04:45]
We'll have to somehow educate our clients with signage or whatever.
[1:04:49]
But again, we're also hoping and expecting that people will use the valet service.
[1:04:53]
It's going to be free of charge.
[1:04:54]
There's going to be a drop off right in front of the door.
[1:04:56]
If they come in and can't find a parking spot in our...
[1:05:00]
Media vicinity, we would hope that they would use the VLA, so we're hoping that that's not a problem. If there's a problem, we're confident that we'll be able to work it out. I happen to have personal experience with us. I'm in this parking line on a regular basis. And I know that you can pull in that back and all the spots are taken and you start to move into the spots and you don't have it within the yellow. You have it marked as being used by the other businesses, but that is often well parked. Now, perhaps right now you have some due to construction that are used
[1:05:29]
some of those spots but I've noted that and that would be my concern is to make sure there's a safety
[1:05:36]
valve to say those patrons of that shopping center to the north are not pushed out by the patrons
[1:05:46]
of your business because people choose not to take that way.
[1:05:53]
We haven't planned it but Mrs.
[1:05:56]
We can put signage in the shopping center area that this parking is solely for the following
[1:06:03]
uses to prevent our clients from parking elsewhere, if that wouldn't solve the problem
[1:06:09]
or if that appeals to the board.
[1:06:11]
I would like to add that simply because I think that it makes it clear that patrons need to use your
[1:06:28]
Right, those slats fill up very quickly back there.
[1:06:33]
And if this is clear, it's not intended to be a part of this in any of that, okay.
[1:06:40]
Trustee Douglas.
[1:06:41]
President Cummings, if a single landlord owns this entire property and they have established
[1:06:48]
who is to use what parking spots, I guess I'm trying to understand why we're concerned
[1:06:56]
about that.
[1:06:56]
If this were multiple properties with multiple landlords and there were, you know, cross-uses,
[1:07:02]
I certainly understand why we would, but I'm trying to understand why, in this case,
[1:07:09]
with a single landlord owning and controlling the parking, why that's a concern of ours
[1:07:15]
and why we would require signage as opposed to the landlord wanting to hand signage.
[1:07:20]
I believe if all the parking were located on the one property owners piece of land and
[1:07:26]
all the uses complied and there were sufficient, but we're allowing for flexibility with valet
[1:07:31]
parking.
[1:07:32]
And I'm concerned that this is flexible, this is something we do need to consider.
[1:07:38]
But that takes us out of the realm of just working with one property owner because this
[1:07:42]
property owner is relying on nannies, it's relying on the car wash to comply with our requirements
[1:07:49]
for parking.
[1:07:51]
Therefore, I think the solution needs to be looked at in its totality.
[1:07:56]
Normally, I would agree with you that is something that a property owner works with and meets
[1:08:02]
the needs of all of its clients.
[1:08:06]
If I could just interject, we have spoken with the other tenants.
[1:08:09]
We have spoken to landlord, we're all on board, we're all, you know, obviously aware of the
[1:08:14]
parking situation.
[1:08:15]
We think that the market, you know, the market place is the biggest indicator and obviously
[1:08:19]
nobody wants to see clients having a parking problem.
[1:08:21]
So I think we're all in the same boat that we'll try everything we can to make sure that people don't have a problem parking.
[1:08:30]
Trustee prisoner.
[1:08:32]
So is the proposal that if this parking plan does not work out for some reason,
[1:08:38]
then you'll be reducing the seat capacity of the restaurant.
[1:08:42]
Yeah, if we cannot, if our agreement with Maddie's falls apart for some reason,
[1:08:48]
And then the way I read the ordinances we have within 300 feet to find other parking sharing arrangements.
[1:08:55]
So if we can find another 36 spots on another piece of property that doesn't need those plots during our hours, we can do that.
[1:09:02]
If we cannot find alternative parking anywhere, then yes, we limit our seats to the available, three times the available number of parking spaces.
[1:09:11]
So up to six o'clock, we would be limited to 108 seats after six o'clock when we have the entire lot and the
[1:09:17]
Valley Parking availability on the car wash, we could then increase our seat drastically after six o'clock.
[1:09:25]
And again, my name is Rudy Belmande, the owner of the restaurant. If I could just address the board again.
[1:09:29]
Our main volume of dinner hour and everything, we will have the entire lot which is more than apical for the number of seats that we have.
[1:09:40]
Trustee Douglas.
[1:09:42]
I have one point or question that may be a little bit of a technical detail or a technicality, but it relates to the fact that in 2010 we expect the intersection to be redone in some of the right away.
[1:10:00]
I can, which would lead to a reduction of 11 parking spaces. It appears to me, I'm certainly
[1:10:08]
believer that we, you know, we should enforce our parking ordinances and we are providing flexibility.
[1:10:14]
But it seems to me that in essence, we're requiring 111 spaces for the next three years.
[1:10:20]
And then after that, we're requiring 100 spaces.
[1:10:25]
Director Bach, you know, could we change
[1:10:28]
There's the, and they've obviously arranged for more than that, so maybe it's not, you
[1:10:34]
know, a big deal, maybe the petitioner really doesn't care, but we could change the language
[1:10:39]
to read that at all times the total available spots will be 100.
[1:10:45]
And then, you know, I don't want to get into revising the ordinance in three years, but
[1:10:49]
if we say, instead of saying they will provide 36 extra, if we say the total will be 100, then
[1:10:56]
And whatever changes occur in the right way, you know, that would be automatically dealt
[1:11:04]
with.
[1:11:15]
I definitely think we could do that, so we don't have to come back and recalculate.
[1:11:20]
You know, I think the major mission of the commissions was to make sure that not only do
[1:11:26]
we have enough parking per code, we had enough parking for what we anticipate to be a very
[1:11:31]
successful restaurant, but we could make the ordinance a little more on square with what
[1:11:36]
If the ordinance will require a few years from now.
[1:11:41]
I mean, I would only suggest that if the petitioner cares about it.
[1:11:45]
I mean, if it's a non-issue then let's just leave it like it is.
[1:11:49]
I don't think we have a problem with that, but also just to point out in the staff report for the zoning board of appeals,
[1:11:54]
I don't know if it made it into your packets, but the staff calculations excluded those 11 spots.
[1:12:00]
So the variation that we were given already conformed with the planned removal of those 11 spots.
[1:12:06]
I understand that, but in essence, for the next three years, you're being required to
[1:12:11]
have 111 spots total, that that's the point I'm making, and you know, if that's
[1:12:17]
fine with you, then let's just leave it be.
[1:12:20]
Yeah, I think we're fine, because I think, again, we have more than enough so.
[1:12:29]
Any other questions?
[1:12:32]
If not, do I have a motion?
[1:12:40]
First of all, wait the administrative roles, we can take these two separately.
[1:12:43]
Wait, the administrative roles in adopt on first reading, would we request a place signage
[1:12:50]
on that?
[1:12:51]
I think that would be in the conditional use ordinance, not the site plan or the thank
[1:12:55]
you.
[1:12:56]
Thank you.
[1:12:57]
So, okay.
[1:12:59]
Do I have a motion to wait the administrative roles in adopt on first reading?
[1:13:03]
So moved.
[1:13:05]
Second.
[1:13:06]
Moved by Trustee Carter and seconded by Trustee Patterson.
[1:13:10]
Could I have a roll call please?
[1:13:11]
Trustee Britton?
[1:13:12]
Yes.
[1:13:12]
Trustee Quizzar, Trustee Dentless, Trustee Carton, Trustee Patterson, Trustee White, motion carries. Now do I have a motion to approve 11A?
[1:13:26]
So moved.
[1:13:27]
Second.
[1:13:31]
I'm sorry, Trustee Patterson and Trustee White could have a roll call please.
[1:13:37]
Trustee Quizzar, Trustee Dentless, Trustee Carton, Trustee Patterson, Trustee White, Trustee Britain.
[1:13:43]
Yes.
[1:13:46]
Okay.
[1:13:48]
Next item, 11B, ordinance granting a commercial variation for 1808 and 1820.
[1:13:56]
Is this where we would place the finance request?
[1:14:02]
All right.
[1:14:04]
And I thought we said conditional use.
[1:14:06]
Yeah.
[1:14:07]
I just want to clarify that the proper place would be in the conditional use, not in the variation.
[1:14:13]
We had a differential opinion here.
[1:14:16]
Yeah.
[1:14:17]
But you agree conditionally is correct.
[1:14:21]
No, I said variation.
[1:14:22]
You said variation?
[1:14:23]
Yes.
[1:14:24]
That's the parking variation.
[1:14:27]
Parking variation is ordinances up.
[1:14:29]
This is where we talk about exactly how many parts have to be.
[1:14:33]
You would initially say conditionally is, that's why I think I'm confused with that.
[1:14:36]
It should be an effect in the variance.
[1:14:38]
All right.
[1:14:39]
And the only, I don't know if the board cares, we could either say that the signage would
[1:14:44]
be no parking for casinos, or no parking for the 1808 use, or we'd say parking only
[1:14:51]
for enlist the addresses of the commercial, and does it matter?
[1:14:58]
proper signage.
[1:15:00]
We can do that. That'll be administrative detail. Otherwise, it may be a very large sign if we put a right. They understood the issues. I think that'll be fair.
[1:15:17]
Motion to waive the administrative rules and adopt on first reading. Move.
[1:15:23]
Move by Trustee Britain, seconded by Trustee Patterson. Could I have a roll call please? Trustee Quizner? Yes. Yes. Yes. Trustee Patterson? Yes. Yes.
[1:15:33]
Trustee White?
[1:15:34]
Yes.
[1:15:35]
Trustee Britton?
[1:15:35]
Yes.
[1:15:36]
Motion carries.
[1:15:38]
Now, motion to approve the ordinance for commercial variation with an amendment to put
[1:15:45]
in appropriate signage for parking.
[1:15:48]
So moved.
[1:15:50]
Second.
[1:15:51]
Moved by Trustee Britton.
[1:15:52]
Seconded by Trustee Carton?
[1:15:53]
Can I have a roll call please?
[1:15:54]
Trustee Delis?
[1:15:55]
Yes.
[1:15:55]
Trustee Carton?
[1:15:56]
Yes.
[1:15:56]
Trustee Patterson?
[1:15:57]
Yes.
[1:15:57]
Trustee White?
[1:15:58]
Yes.
[1:15:59]
Trustee Britton?
[1:15:59]
Yes.
[1:15:59]
Thank you, and we're really looking forward to your opening.
[1:16:05]
Thank you all very much.
[1:16:07]
Thank you.
[1:16:08]
It was complex, but everyone's stuck with it, so thank you.
[1:16:12]
President Cummings, I just like to point out one thing for the public that a little nuance
[1:16:17]
here, but in this plan, we have eliminated a curve cut on to Joaquigan.
[1:16:23]
And I think that's very important.
[1:16:25]
I've had comments from a number of residents about traffic on Warkegan and
[1:16:29]
curb cuts and I think anything we can do to get rid of a curb cut on Warkegan is
[1:16:36]
a good thing. I'm correct about that. Director Bach, is that correct? No. That was
[1:16:43]
in here. Where did I read that?
[1:16:49]
There was a discussion about that. There was, there
[1:16:58]
So landlord did not allow it.
[1:17:01]
We don't have authority to give that up.
[1:17:03]
The landlord owns that and he's concerned with his right to continue use of that and
[1:17:10]
rather than make it a big deal, we wanted to get our restaurant open so we didn't want
[1:17:15]
to fight that fight.
[1:17:16]
Okay, well I understand the issue.
[1:17:17]
I apologize for miss speaking.
[1:17:20]
I'll still state that anything we can do to 118 curb cuts on the walkiega is a good thing.
[1:17:25]
So I'm disappointed but I understand your position.
[1:17:27]
Thank you very much. Our hands are kind of tight.
[1:17:32]
Our hands are tight, but I think it would be very happy with you all.
[1:17:37]
Okay.
[1:17:40]
Initially.
[1:17:43]
All right.
[1:17:43]
Next item is
[1:17:47]
Zincarella. Am I pronouncing it correctly?
[1:17:49]
2300 Lehigh.
[1:17:52]
What we're considering here is a class F liquor license in order to do so.
[1:17:57]
we need to increase the number of class of liquor licenses from 9 to 10 and
[1:18:04]
then we will consider a resolution to approve the issuance of a class of liquor
[1:18:08]
license. Again, Village President is the liquor commissioner. By practice we
[1:18:15]
have always asked for approval by the board of liquor licenses. The board itself
[1:18:20]
does need to approve the increase of liquor licenses class of from 9 to 10.
[1:18:26]
Director Mack, if you'd like to define class F or the public.
[1:18:30]
Thank you very much.
[1:18:31]
Zingarella has been operating for a couple months, six weeks, a couple months at the shopping
[1:18:41]
center, which is directly across the street from the North Glen train station, was previously
[1:18:47]
a bakery and is now a full service restaurant.
[1:18:51]
The addition of the liquor license in a class F will allow the sale of beer and wine for consumption on the premises where food is served.
[1:19:03]
So a basic restaurant license and pursuant to our procedure, we have noticed the fact that an application for liquor license is pending to the surrounding property owners.
[1:19:20]
did not receive any responses back.
[1:19:23]
The applicant has gone through and successfully completed our police background checks.
[1:19:29]
And again, the two issue, the two items would be one,
[1:19:32]
the additional class license to allow for this
[1:19:39]
and then the approval of the specific licenses being applied for.
[1:19:44]
Other questions?
[1:19:48]
Very nice, Italian restaurant.
[1:19:50]
I don't know if you want to say anything more about the restaurant.
[1:19:54]
I have a question. Trustee Quizman has a question.
[1:19:57]
Is the liquor license limited to wine and beer?
[1:19:59]
Yes.
[1:20:02]
Okay. If they're, I'll wait and we'll take a vote and I'll ask you a couple of questions. But your establishment further, and there's a, can I ask for a motion to wait the administrative rules and adopt on first reading? So moved.
[1:20:19]
Second. Moved by Trustee Britton, seconded by Trustee Quizner. Can I roll call, please? Trustee Carter? Yes. Trustee White? Trustee Britton? Yes. Trustee Quizner? Yes. Trustee Dellis? Yes. Motion carries.
[1:20:33]
Now do I have motion to approve?
[1:20:37]
So moved.
[1:20:38]
Second.
[1:20:39]
Well, by Trustee Britton.
[1:20:40]
It's like if I trust the debt list.
[1:20:43]
Do I have a row cop please?
[1:20:44]
Trustee Cardon?
[1:20:45]
Yes.
[1:20:46]
Trustee Patterson?
[1:20:46]
Yes.
[1:20:47]
Trustee White.
[1:20:48]
Yes.
[1:20:48]
Trustee Britton?
[1:20:49]
Yes.
[1:20:49]
Yes.
[1:20:51]
Thank you.
[1:20:53]
And then consideration of a resolution
[1:20:55]
to approve the issuance of a class of liquor license
[1:20:57]
to Zingarella at 2300 Lehigh.
[1:21:00]
Do I have a motion to approve?
[1:21:01]
moved. So moved.
[1:21:03]
So moved.
[1:21:04]
Moved by Trustee Britton, seconded by Trustee White. All is in favor signify by saying
[1:21:09]
aye. Any opposed? Motion carries. Congratulations and thank you. Can you tell us a little bit about
[1:21:17]
your food and your establishment? For the public's benefit?
[1:21:23]
I have menus. I don't know. There you go. It's a full service restaurant and initially I started
[1:21:30]
with the idea of an Italian restaurant, but the business has been more moving towards
[1:21:35]
bistro fair. It's really more of like a European cafe. So we've added things like steaks
[1:21:41]
and seafood and kind of more traditional bistro fair. And lunch is very busy with serving
[1:21:48]
the Compass Street or Avenue medical community. We do a lot of business with them and we
[1:21:56]
of delivering things. And also we have a little private room that's now being booked for parties.
[1:22:04]
Thank you very much and welcome. I know you've been open for a little bit so thank you.
[1:22:15]
Next item is the authorizing the sale by public auction of surplus property owned by the
[1:22:23]
village of Glendale and Mr. Clark will address these issues. Thank you President Cummings.
[1:22:28]
It's part of the ongoing efforts to manage the village's finite resources.
[1:22:33]
For the first time in many years, staff completed a complete review of the village fleet.
[1:22:38]
The capital equipment, replacement fund review committee, representatives of all departments spent a number of hours going through the entire fleet, as part of the budget process to validate the present need for different village vehicle units.
[1:22:54]
and you know with the the eye towards making sure we really needed all the
[1:23:01]
equipment and vehicles that we presently have within the municipal fleet.
[1:23:04]
Despite way of background for more of an informational purpose as we have
[1:23:08]
approximately 280 vehicle and equipment units within our fleet that we manage
[1:23:15]
about this point about 170 of those units or vehicles. As part of this review we
[1:23:22]
We came to you in September 22nd for approval of an ordinance to go to municipal conference
[1:23:28]
auction that was successful and we sold eight units of that auction and were proposing
[1:23:34]
to go to the December 1st auction next with an 11 additional fleet units for sale at
[1:23:42]
auction, most of which will be reductions to the fleet.
[1:23:46]
As part of that list, we have a variety of units, most of which are four wheel type vehicles
[1:23:53]
that, you know, at this point we don't feel fit the need for the village at this point
[1:23:59]
for operations.
[1:24:01]
So at this point, I'd be happy to take any questions.
[1:24:04]
We have asked for consideration on first reading this evening specifically because we have
[1:24:10]
preparation time we need to carry out any vehicles ready for auction and we're getting
[1:24:16]
our busy season with the flea garage with snow plowing coming up so we ask for some
[1:24:20]
additional time.
[1:24:21]
So, happy to answer any questions.
[1:24:25]
But, Trustee Douglas?
[1:24:27]
I noticed that one item in here is a boat motor and trailer and I just wanted to understand
[1:24:34]
with some probably good sized bodies of water and blood view.
[1:24:38]
I don't know if this was used for, you know, potential rescue efforts or whatever.
[1:24:43]
We have technically base and we have, you know, they clend to you.
[1:24:46]
Do we have another boat or do we have arrangements with other jurisdictions to help with that or
[1:24:52]
how does that work?
[1:24:53]
Sure.
[1:24:53]
Good questions.
[1:24:54]
We have a boat unit through the fire department that we still own and maintain.
[1:24:58]
this unit handed.
[1:25:00]
And using the number of years, it was initially designed, forcing the lake line view functions that you described, which we've since contracted out. So we no longer needed it within the fleet from the staff recommendation perspective.
[1:25:14]
I have a question in regard to the van that is used for the cable television. That is the, I believe that's the second. Yeah, unit 24. It's a 1994 van. What? What accommodations?
[1:25:31]
What will we be using for cable television?
[1:25:34]
Certainly, that vehicle unit just for my way background is the GV-TV cable television van.
[1:25:41]
It's a 1994 Ford Club wagon that we've used for a number of years.
[1:25:46]
It has significant maintenance issues with the brake lines, fuel lines, and the heat in the AC.
[1:25:52]
Our plan is to, we've got really five options for them to use, to co-use for us.
[1:25:57]
We have two that we now have redeployed to the Facilities Division.
[1:26:03]
Chevy Express Van, as well as the 2001 Ford F350,
[1:26:07]
which we can use and help them with for transporting to various events that they may have throughout the year, which we know they have.
[1:26:14]
As well as we have three pool vehicles that we co-use and share throughout the village now as part of our new policy.
[1:26:21]
So we have a variety of units that can be used to help them transport their equipment.
[1:26:25]
it won't be an assigned unit like what they have today is for our recommendation, but
[1:26:30]
we're certainly going to help them meet the needs that they have in case by case basis
[1:26:37]
for events to make sure they can get their equipment where they need it to go.
[1:26:42]
So they'll be using a shared unit, a van, is it similar size?
[1:26:49]
Yes, it's a multi-passenger van that we've had for since 2004 and we'd like to use that
[1:26:56]
in a different way moving forward and presently has some seats in it that we're used for
[1:27:02]
a case-by-case basis for transporting groups of people to various events which we no longer
[1:27:08]
have the need for in that capacity. So, we'll be able to use it in a shared way with
[1:27:14]
to UV TV. In fact, likely we will be able through the facilities division to help them
[1:27:19]
transport their equipment with our labor resources as well. So we certainly want to help them
[1:27:25]
even more so than we have in the past with our new facilities division.
[1:27:29]
Will there be an ability to mount a camera on top? I believe that there is a camera mounted
[1:27:34]
on top of ours and that's for use, say, the 4th of July.
[1:27:38]
We're likely not from our fleet perspective today not recommend that use moving forward.
[1:27:45]
We certainly will find a use for, we'll find a way for them to have that camera shot for
[1:27:50]
the fourth gyparade that they typically have.
[1:27:53]
By other means, we're concerned about the safety element to that, I guess that's set up
[1:28:01]
to the unit.
[1:28:02]
And we'd like to look at that from a different way to help them achieve that need to get a shot from a high peak for the parade.
[1:28:11]
So we'd like to do that and help them in a different way.
[1:28:14]
It was retrofitted on this 1994 unit some number of years ago and we don't have the ability.
[1:28:22]
We think in a safe fashion to do that moving forward on a new unit.
[1:28:25]
So we're not recommending that to the board.
[1:28:28]
Okay so can we monitor that situation and see how that shared use and the use of that
[1:28:34]
van is going forward because I see with a van of 1994 vintage will be investing a lot
[1:28:42]
of money in a very old vehicle.
[1:28:45]
It would seem that the shared use should be able to work but if you could update us again.
[1:28:52]
I'd be happy to and we took a look you know long term at the facilities division they'll likely
[1:28:56]
have a different type of unit that they'll replace their present cargo van with.
[1:29:02]
We have in the fleet now Dodge Sprinter model, I don't know if the board's familiar with
[1:29:06]
that, but it's more of a 21st century box fan type unit that is used that down the line
[1:29:13]
in the future year will consider recommending for the capital equipment replacement fund,
[1:29:18]
which will probably even better serve both needs, but we feel we can get by today with what
[1:29:22]
we have.
[1:29:24]
Thank you.
[1:29:26]
Trustee Patterson.
[1:29:27]
I'd make a motion to wave the administrative rules
[1:29:29]
and adapt on first reading.

[1:30:00]
Yes. Trustee Britain. Yes. Trustee Quizner. Yes. Trustee Delta. Yes. Trustee Carton. Yes. Trustee Patterson. Yes. Motion carries. Next item 11. Well, we will take all three of these together. 11 EF and G and attorney Pat will walk us through those three items. Thank you, President Cummings. As board may recall, in the middle of June, the state legislature passed the cable and video competition.
[1:30:29]
Act on June 30th, the Governor signed that Act into law.
[1:30:34]
The Act established a statewide, what they call, authorization for telecommunications
[1:30:39]
providers which effectively replaced local franchises for cable and video services.
[1:30:47]
Among the things that the new law did was provided that a telecommunications provider could
[1:30:54]
could use the public right of way in order to place its equipment.
[1:30:59]
It did require that a municipality could regulate its right of way
[1:31:05]
and require the granting of a permit for the installation of cable and video facilities.
[1:31:11]
What the village did in July was sort of the first part of our response to this act,
[1:31:20]
which was to pass an ordinance which required the providers of these telecommunication services
[1:31:28]
to notify and meet with affected residents, those residents whose properties were immediately adjacent
[1:31:36]
to the right of way where the installations were occurring.
[1:31:42]
As part two of our approach to this, what we did was we took the opportunity
[1:31:47]
to review the new law and review our existing right-of-way regulations and take advantage
[1:31:55]
of the fact that the law provides that municipalities may impose reasonable terms for use of the right-of-way.
[1:32:02]
And given the fact that we know that in the next 12-18 months there's going to be significant work done in the right-of-way,
[1:32:10]
Our villages already received a notification from 18T that they have 69 different locations
[1:32:19]
where they seek to install facilities in 2007 and 2008.
[1:32:24]
On that basis, we were seeking to limit the adverse impact on village residences and businesses
[1:32:32]
for the work that's being done in the right away and provide a comprehensive set of construction
[1:32:38]
standards and requirements and establish a formal permit process for this kind of work
[1:32:43]
which previously had not been subject to any kind of formalized process.
[1:32:50]
That's the first ordinance that's before you item 11E. Item 11F is another component
[1:32:57]
of the new state law. That law, again, as I'm sure the board is aware, are local franchisees
[1:33:07]
pay a franchise fee to the village. Under the new law the holders of a statewide authorization
[1:33:13]
won't have to pay that fee because there won't be a franchise agreement for them to
[1:33:17]
pay. However the law did authorize villages to enact an ordinance which requires a payment
[1:33:26]
from a service provider consistent with the requirements of the act. The amount of those
[1:33:34]
Because fees that service providers who have statewide authorization must pay is equal
[1:33:38]
to 5% of gross revenues as that term is defined in the State Act.
[1:33:45]
And in addition, 1% of gross revenue fee for pet programming.
[1:33:50]
The definition of gross revenues is also included from the Act as included as part and parcel
[1:33:56]
of our proposed ordinance.
[1:34:00]
Without that ordinance we wouldn't be able to collect the fees that are authorized under
[1:34:04]
the state statute so obviously it's an imperative and we do it.
[1:34:09]
Any service provider who has statewide authorization becomes liable for the fee.
[1:34:17]
On the first day of the calendar month that's at least 30 days after they receive a copy
[1:34:21]
of the ordinance.
[1:34:23]
So what happens is anybody who has statewide authorization has their formal address on
[1:34:28]
file with the state and the village must send the ordinance by mail to the address listed
[1:34:33]
on the application.
[1:34:34]
So assuming the ordinance passes, staff would go ahead and take care of that.
[1:34:41]
The fees are due quarterly to the village and when that payment is made, there's also a
[1:34:48]
statement sent by the service provider explaining the basis for the calculation of the fees.
[1:34:55]
The third item, which is under 11G, is another component of the...
[1:35:00]
Act, which in acts, certain customer service and privacy protection standards. As again, with our franchisees, we can control those standards as part and parcel of our agreements with the franchisees. Under the statewide authorization, the village doesn't have any authority to negotiate those. However, the act did provide extensive customer service and privacy protections. And again, required in order for the village to have the authority to enforce those that an ordinance be paid.
[1:35:33]
the act also provided that if the village wished it could impose monetary penalties
[1:35:40]
for violations and an amount not to exceed $750 for each day of a what they determined
[1:35:45]
considered to be a material violation and in some instances may provide for customer
[1:35:51]
credits.
[1:35:52]
In drafting this ordinance, we took the opportunity to include that penalty provision.
[1:35:58]
And we believe that with the inevitable competition that's going to come in the cable
[1:36:05]
and video market, again, there will be an increase in use of the right away.
[1:36:09]
And we fully expect AT&T and other service providers who have statewide authorization
[1:36:15]
to come to our village.
[1:36:17]
And we feel this balances the needs of the residents and provides them as much protection as we
[1:36:23]
You can under the state law and, again, this does work part and parcel with the ordinance
[1:36:29]
the board passed in July, which requires providers to meet with the residents.
[1:36:35]
I'll be happy to answer any questions.
[1:36:38]
Any questions?
[1:36:39]
I guess we'll take one at a time on 11E, any questions on 11E.
[1:36:45]
Trustee White.
[1:36:45]
on
[1:36:49]
page 18 or page 14 of the contract.
[1:37:01]
My contract community, are you talking the referencing
[1:37:03]
the ordinance? Yes. Okay. But in the overall page numbers is page 18. Yes. Item D, there's
[1:37:13]
a bunch of blanks in there. It has to be filled in. Yeah, that will be filled in at, upon
[1:37:19]
this execution of this. What that was is that's the reference to the ordinance that I just
[1:37:23]
Just mentioned that was passed by the Board in July and as at the time I was preparing
[1:37:28]
this, we didn't have the exact assignment of that chapter article.
[1:37:32]
That has to be filled in as we board out.
[1:37:36]
Page 27,
[1:37:39]
near the bottom, items E and F, freestanding facilities.
[1:37:45]
Right, so you were talking about page 23 of the ordinance, page 27 of the past.
[1:37:48]
That's correct.
[1:37:49]
Okay.
[1:37:50]
I thought this is what we couldn't do.
[1:37:53]
The bill is maybe a stricter location in size of any free standing facility located within
[1:37:59]
a right away.
[1:38:00]
The bill is maybe required a free standing facility located within a right away would be screened
[1:38:05]
from view.
[1:38:08]
And I thought those were things we couldn't do.
[1:38:11]
Well, I didn't let them do whatever they wanted to do.
[1:38:15]
Well, not exactly let them do whatever they wanted to do.
[1:38:18]
What we're allowed to do is impose reasonable restrictions.
[1:38:21]
So, in other words, if the only way for them to put in their facilities to have a box
[1:38:27]
that's of a certain size, let's say size X, we can't deny them that right.
[1:38:33]
But we can require them to have as small as reasonable or as small as possible cabinet
[1:38:39]
or a piece of equipment relative to those facilities.
[1:38:42]
That's why that particular provision doesn't have any specifics as far as size women don't
[1:38:47]
share.
[1:38:47]
But just to clarify that, the point about size is in a different place.
[1:38:54]
It's on page 25 of the packet, 21 of the ordinance.
[1:38:58]
As I read freestanding facility in the definitions, it would not be these boxes
[1:39:04]
we're generally talking about. It says the antenna transformer pump meter station.
[1:39:08]
It's something that's not connected to something else. It seems like.
[1:39:13]
Well, yes, but that doesn't necessarily, that's not, doesn't necessarily mean it's not
[1:39:18]
one of the what they call a V-rad box.
[1:39:23]
My last question is on page 45, I'm
[1:39:29]
not sure, I just understand it, the second paragraph
[1:39:32]
the provider has more than a million access lines, they have to build out to 35% and then
[1:39:40]
50% within three years if they have 300,000 to a million and it's 25 going to 35, but
[1:39:47]
if it's anything less than 300 at next paragraph would say and then that's to be 35% going to 50%.
[1:39:57]
And is there something else that's meant?
[1:40:00]
Any other service providers? No, what this, what you're referencing is the memo I wrote when the, when the law was passed by the state legislature and about to be signed by the governor. The bill that requirements are those set forth in the state law. And again, they have kind of three different criteria. One for service providers in access of a million access lines. Another one for service providers in between 300 and a million.
[1:40:29]
and then another one for those who have 300 or less and the build-out requirement is R is set forth in that memorandum.
[1:40:36]
Yeah, you're just, I just find it hard to believe that if you go lower, you have to build out more.
[1:40:44]
But anyway, this is just a memo.
[1:40:47]
Yes, it's just simply an explanation of what the state law indicated.
[1:40:51]
In the next paragraph, it says that at least 30 percent of the total households with
[1:41:00]
access to the provider's services must be low income.
[1:41:04]
Low income is a term of the fine in the ordinance.
[1:41:07]
Low income has a specific definition as set fourth in the ordinance.
[1:41:14]
Again, that's not part of this particular right-of-way ordinance, I'm sorry, the low income
[1:41:20]
is set forth in the state law, not in the ordinance.
[1:41:22]
Yeah, but I mean, maybe I don't know how they could get 30% at low income and go in view.
[1:41:29]
But that's not material.
[1:41:31]
Right.
[1:41:32]
That'll be, right.
[1:41:33]
That'll be something for the service providers to deal with their respective attorney channel,
[1:41:37]
if you'd expect.
[1:41:41]
Trustee Justice.
[1:41:43]
I guess I'm a little confused with the conversation you just had with Trustee White regarding size
[1:41:49]
and screening because again he was referring to page 23 of the ordinance to go back to page 21 of the ordinance the size definition is smallest suitable.
[1:42:03]
So I'm number one I'm a little confused on what in fact we can do regarding size and secondly, can we require anything they do to be screened?
[1:42:16]
Can you clarify that please?
[1:42:19]
Well, the answer to the first part, what we have done in this ordinance is about what
[1:42:25]
best we can do with respect to size.
[1:42:27]
Our ability, as I think I've indicated at the previous presentations I made to the board
[1:42:32]
on this issue, our ability to regulate that is significantly curtailed by the state law.
[1:42:40]
What the language included in, I believe you're referencing in 625-15A5, is that what you're referencing?
[1:42:48]
Again, it's simply our attempt to put onto the service provider the requirement that they must use the smallest possible.
[1:42:58]
Otherwise, you know, our concern is that they'll use something that they want to have extra room for further expansion
[1:43:04]
and that's not what we're looking to do.
[1:43:05]
we want it to be as minimal an impact on the residences as possible.
[1:43:10]
So then why do we say in the section Trustee White referred to, the village may restrict
[1:43:16]
the location and size, is it referring back to the previous section in terms of how we
[1:43:24]
may restrict size?
[1:43:25]
Is that all that means?
[1:43:26]
That's correct.
[1:43:27]
It's sort of a belt and suspenders are fine.
[1:43:29]
And if you could just talk about screening and what we can and cannot require, please.
[1:43:34]
We
[1:43:37]
have a provision in here that does provide for required requirements of screening.
[1:43:43]
Well, it was right in the same section, Trustee White was talking about on page 23 of the ordinance.
[1:43:49]
Does this mean that anything that's installed above ground, we can require to be screened by the provider?
[1:43:56]
Yes, that's correct.
[1:43:58]
And our preliminary discussions with AT&T have already addressed these issues.
[1:44:04]
And that's what we intend to do.
[1:44:06]
Obviously, again, our ability to enforce this, we can enforce it, but again, we can't
[1:44:14]
require them to put up, you know, 15 feet of 10 feet tall trees and things like that
[1:44:19]
around their boxes, but we can require some form of screening.
[1:44:23]
And again, it'll be something that will address on an individual basis for each one, something
[1:44:29]
that's on a commercial corner, maybe screened less than something that's on a residential
[1:44:34]
and there's no mention of vegetation should I do I assume that screened means plantings
[1:44:44]
or could it mean fencing or I mean who controls how something gets screened is that part of the
[1:44:51]
the permit process?
[1:44:53]
That'll be determined by the village and again obviously we'll work in concert with the
[1:45:00]
Service providers, but we'll try not to put any unreasonable burns on them while still obviously trying to service the needs of the residents. That will be determined administratively at this point. There are no commission reviews required,
[1:45:23]
but obviously their requirement to have a hearing with the neighbors will help determine what are some of the preferences and needs in terms of screening. That's correct. The previous
[1:45:35]
this ordinance that was passed requires them to meet with the affected residents and take
[1:45:40]
into account the comments and wishes of those residents to the extent they can. Obviously,
[1:45:46]
we can't force them, but that will go in part and parcel. Again, that's why this is part
[1:45:50]
two of our enforcement. It will go through the approval process and no permit will be issued
[1:45:57]
until those items are resolved.
[1:46:01]
We can, when you say we can't force some clarify in terms of, it has to be a reasonable
[1:46:07]
request.
[1:46:08]
Correct.
[1:46:09]
If the residents say, well, I don't want the box there at all, or I want the box to
[1:46:13]
be only a foot tall and a foot wide, and that's not reasonable in the sense that they can't
[1:46:18]
put their facilities there under those circumstances, or that's the least impactful location for
[1:46:24]
the facility to be, then that's where it's going to go.
[1:46:28]
We would test their issue or contention that is the smallest box.
[1:46:38]
I mean, those are the places we could challenge them and say you need to prove to us the smallest box.
[1:46:44]
This needs to have this location or at least in this proximity.
[1:46:48]
So again, we're going to be testing out each one of those standards.
[1:46:53]
Yes. What we've done is staff has worked directly.
[1:46:58]
Again, we'll use AT&T as an example, because they're the ones who wear things in process.
[1:47:04]
We have AT&T designate their specific sites, and then our staff is walked to those sites
[1:47:09]
or setting up appointments to walk those sites with AT&T representatives and work out whether
[1:47:16]
or not those are sites that we find to be unacceptable or unacceptable, and if they are unacceptable,
[1:47:22]
where can we work to negotiate a mutually acceptable location?
[1:47:26]
Okay. Other questions on 11, sorry, E. Okay. If not, 11, F. This is the fee. This is important.
[1:47:41]
And note that currently we have a 5% agreement with our current cable provider.
[1:47:48]
Right. Both concasts and the wide open west have a 5% and a 1% for PEC.
[1:47:53]
Correct.
[1:47:54]
Okay.
[1:47:54]
The pack is also the same.
[1:47:56]
Correct.
[1:47:57]
So the difference is simply the collection process.
[1:48:00]
That's correct.
[1:48:04]
Any other questions?
[1:48:05]
Okay.
[1:48:05]

I think it might be helpful if we post some of the highlights of these on our website so that people can see some of the safeguards that are we're trying to put in place for this.
[1:49:29]
and have some of the summary of some of the privacy pieces and that, so we'll post some
[1:49:36]
of that on our website.
[1:49:41]
Obviously, I'm happy to work with staff on any of those.
