BOARD MEMBERS PRESENT: President Tinaglia; Trustees Bertucci, Gilbert, LaBedz, Manganaro, Santa Maria, Schwingbeck and Zyck BOARD MEMBERS ABSENT: Trustee Dunnington STAFF MEMBERS PRESENT: Village Manager Randy Recklaus OTHERS PRESENT: Brian Mednicov, Vaishak Mittur, Martin Bauer IV. APPROVAL OF MINUTES A. Approval of Committee of the Whole Minutes March 9, 2026 Trustee LaBedz moved to approve the Committee of the Whole minutes from the meeting on March 9, 2026. The motion was seconded by Trustee Schwingbeck. 8 Ayes 0 Nays The motion passed. V. NEW BUSINESS A. Interview of Brian Mednicov by the Liquor Commissioner for issuance of a Class E liquor license to SLICE II LLC dba GARIBALDI'S ARLINGTON HEIGHTS located at 1960 N. Arlington Heights Road Mayor Tinaglia asked Brian to give some background. Brian explained that his dad founded Garibaldi’s in 1976 so he grew up with the business. In July 2021, Brian became the manager in Arlington Heights and then took on the role of Chief Operating Officer two years ago overseeing both the Arlington Heights and the Hoffman Estates locations. He has never been cited for a liquor violation and never had a license suspended or revoked in either location. Brian is BASSET trained and all staff serving alcohol are BASSET trained. Brian gave the hours of operation as Sunday – Thursday 10am – 9pm; Friday and Saturday 10am – 9:30pm. Mayor Tinaglia reminded Brian that they need to serve food whenever they are selling alcohol. Trustee Bertucci asked for clarification because Garibaldi’s currently holds a liquor license. Brian explained that his uncle is currently the owner but Brian is going to be the new owner. Since liquor licenses are not transferable, Brian is applying for a liquor license. Trustee Bertucci also reminded Brian that Arlington Heights conducts compliance checks and asked if Garibaldi’s has ever had a violation. Brian said that in his time there, they have never failed a compliance check. 1 Village Manager Randy Recklaus gave the staff report. Brian has a clean background check from the Police Department, he has no violations and he’s been the onsite manager for five years. This is a very clean, straight-forward liquor license application. Trustee Gilbert commented that Garibaldi’s was a favorite place for him in his youth and now his family enjoys it. Mayor Tinaglia explained that the liquor violation hearings were earlier in the day and that there were seven establishments with violations. It is his least favorite part of his job as Liquor Commissioner so implored Brian to never fall short on the requirements for employees and dedication to keep the community safe. Trustees thanked Brian for keeping his business in Arlington Heights. Trustee Schwingbeck moved, seconded by Trustee Santa Maria to recommend that the Liquor Commissioner issue a Class E liquor license to SLICE II LLC dba GARIBALDI’S ARLINGTON HEIGHTS located at 1960 N. Arlington Heights Road, upon receipt of the executed lease and proof of ownership change. The following voice vote was recorded: 8 Ayes 0 Nays The motion passed. B. Interview of Vaishak Mittur for appointment to the Arlington Economic Alliance, term ending April 30, 2029 Mayor Tinaglia explained that he interviewed Vaishak (Vee) months ago for the Board of Local Improvements. However, since that commission is not active, Mayor Tinaglia thought of Vee when the Arlington Economic Alliance had an opening. Vee explained that he moved to Arlington Heights in 2015 because, even when living in other parts of the Chicagoland area, he spent lots of time in Arlington Heights experiencing Arlington Park and the restaurants in town. As his family grew, they needed more space but stayed in Arlington Heights because of the people and the community. He and his family are involved in their church, youth athletics and community events in town. Vee would like to use his skills as a risk manager and his experience in audit and finance to give back to our community. He is also a business owner in Addison. Trustee LaBedz noted that Vee has a lot of experience that will serve him well. Trustee Bertucci encouraged Vee to talk with some of the other members of the Arlington Economic Alliance ahead of his first meeting and explained that the Arlington Economic Alliance is one of the advisory commissions that needs creative, independent thinkers in order to develop great ideas. Trustee Zyck noted that Vee has diverse experience with his past work history and asked Vee what the Village needs in order to grow and prosper. Vee replied that there are tremendous economic opportunities stemming from the old Arlington Park property and there are different approaches. With his risk management background, he believes a more calculated plan, which balances growth rate and risk, is the most beneficial approach. In 2 the downtown area, Vee has some ideas for some of the unoccupied spaces and wants to find out what is in the works. Trustee Zyck commented that there are other parts of town that we can focus on as well. Trustees thanked Vaishak for his willingness to serve. Trustee LaBedz moved, seconded by Trustee Bertucci to concur in the Mayor’s appointment of Vaishak Mittur to the Arlington Economic Alliance, term ending April 30, 2029 The following voice vote was recorded: 8 Ayes 0 Nays The motion passed. C. Interview of Martin Bauer for appointment to the Housing Commission, term ending April 30, 2027 After meeting with Martin Bauer, Mayor Tinaglia believes that Martin is a good fit for the Housing Commission because Martin understands numbers and finance since he is an actuary. He is also involved with PADS and other organizations that understand the needs of the underprivileged population. With Martin’s perspective, the Housing Commission will be challenged to think outside the box to offer creative solutions. Martin shared that his 10 years of experience with PADS has given him insight into the needs of the homeless population. He is concerned about affordable housing for young people and senior citizens, as well as people with disabilities and veterans. Due to his work background, he looks at situations through a quantitative and qualitive lens as well. Martin has been a renter and is a landlord so also understands both sides of those relationships. He is passionate about the topic of affordable housing and isn’t afraid to challenge people in healthy debate. Trustee Santa Maria asked what Martin thinks the government’s role is in providing affordable housing. Martin said that the government needs to provide a framework for at the federal, state and local levels. However, he also noted that there are instances where the government should not get involved because over-regulation can cause higher costs which get passed along to the renters. Therefore, there are times when the market needs to dictate the direction. Trustee Santa Maria followed up and explained that there is nothing personal but she believes they have very fundamental differences when it comes to housing so she doesn’t see this commission as the role for Martin. Trustee Schwingbeck asked Martin how the Village should use the Housing Trust Fund. Martin replied that it should be used and the Village isn’t currently finding ways to use it. He’d like to speak to the other commissioners and listen first before generating a solution. Trustee Schwingbeck asked if Martin thinks the Village needs more affordable housing projects. Martin said that he does feel that the Village needs more affordable housing but it isn’t a one size fits all solution due to the different needs of different groups (young people, senior citizens, veterans, people with disabilities, etc) and different options (single family, apartments, rental units etc.) 3 Trustee Manganaro followed up on Martin’s comment about the government letting the market take control. Trustee Manganaro asked Martin how he thinks the market is doing in providing affordable housing. Martin replied that right now the market is more challenging, so the market is not currently creating affordable housing on its own. Martin further explained that the private market has had to abide by a large set of rules which has created some of the issues. Trustee Manganaro believes that the issues now are due to market failure. He asked Martin what Arlington Heights should do to support the strategic priority of affordability and asked how Martin will work towards that goal. Martin said he will keep an open mind regarding any proposals and will ask good questions. He mentioned that the Village has an affordable housing trust fund but it hasn’t been used, therefore he would like to find a way to use that trust fund. Trustee Manganaro does not doubt Martin’s dedication but is struggling with this being the right commission for Martin. Martin emphasized that a commission of like-minded people will not result in the best outcomes. Trustee Zyck served on the Housing Commission for six years and he was surprised to see Martin as a candidate, knowing Martin’s background. Trustee Zyck agrees that different opinions are always good but wants the group to work together to make sure it continues to be a good group with a strong mission. Trustee Zyck asked Martin, given all of the boards and commissions of the Village, if this commission is the best fit for him. Martin explained that it is one of the best fits for him. There are other commissions where he could see himself serving, but this is absolutely in the top three. Trustee LaBedz said she is not afraid of someone who is willing to ask questions and there is a benefit to having conversations. She also served on this commission many years ago. Trustee Bertucci moved, seconded by Trustee LaBedz to concur in the Mayor’s appointment of Martin Bauer to the Housing Commission, term ending April 30, 2027. The following voice vote was recorded: 6 Ayes 2 Nays The motion passed. VI. OTHER BUSINESS - none VII. PUBLIC COMMENTS - Devin Grey said he will take any opportunity to address the Board regarding short term rentals. He grew up in Arlington Heights and cares about this community. The concerns he’s heard about short term rentals are: wrong groups coming in and buying property, difficulties in having affordable housing and creating a party atmosphere. He has a background in analytics so filed a FOIA to look at the criminal complaints with short term rentals over the past three years. He compared that to incidents at hotels and the hotels had more issues. He asked the mayor to form a task force and solve this problem. - An audience member asked that the Board allow time for public comment. VIII. ADJOURNMENT – Trustee Bertucci moved, seconded by Trustee LaBedz to adjourn. 4 The meeting adjourned at 7:41pm. 5

NEW BUSINESS Page 2 of 14 A. Video Gaming Discussion At the direction of the Board, staff conducted research on the potential advantages and disadvantages of legalizing video gaming terminals (VGTs) in Village establishments. Mr. Recklaus presented a summary of the findings for the Board’s review and consideration. The research focused on health issues, enforcement, zoning/location regulations, liquor license compliance issues, and financial issues. For each topic, the Board would have to consider key decisions and if additional research was needed. If there was a consensus amongst the Board to continue the discussion, staff requested a general outline of possible components for a future ordinance to be formally considered. However, if there was not a consensus amongst the Board, they could discontinue the discussion. Health Issues Research suggests that ease of access to gambling such as VGTs, normalized gambling and increased participation. This could lead to problematic gambling behaviors which are strongly associated with mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, mood disturbances and alcohol abuse. Slot-style VGTs pose a higher risk of becoming addictive due to their design to keep individuals engaged. Those who pose a high risk of developing problematic gambling behaviors include older adults, financially stressed individuals, and low-income residents. The Board of Health emphasized the potential mental health and social service impacts and recommended delaying legalization until further research was completed and reviewed. It was mentioned that while research clearly indicated potential negative effects as a result of VGTs, gambling is easily available through electronic devices, IL lottery, casinos, and VGTs in neighboring communities. Enforcement The Police Department consulted the Illinois Gaming Board and neighboring police departments to assess potential impacts of permitting video gaming terminals (VGTs). Feedback indicated that VGTs have not increased police workload, even with occasional break-ins at VGT establishments. The Illinois Gaming Board handles regulatory complaints and investigations under the Video Gaming Act, and the Police Department and other Village departments will enforce any additional local regulations implemented. While the Police Department currently conducts underage alcohol compliance inspections, it does not routinely inspect other regulated businesses and could similarly inspect VGTs if required. Zoning/Location Regulations Staff reviewed existing regulations under the Illinois Video Gaming Act governing VGTs. Current state regulations require that establishments with VGTs be located at least 100 feet from a school or place of worship (unless the school or place of worship moved within that distance after the gaming establishment opened), a maximum of six VGTs per establishment, restrict gaming areas to individuals aged 21 and older, and require that the entrance to the gaming area remain within view of an employee over 21. VGTs may only operate during hours when alcohol sales are permitted. Advertising is limited to on- premises signage affixed to a building or permanent pole sign, and while municipalities may regulate the amount of signage, they generally cannot regulate its content. Staff also noted that under the Home Rule Authority, the Village may adopt more restrictive regulations. Potential options include limiting VGTs to certain zoning districts, allowing them as a special use or only as accessory use, establishing minimum separation Page 3 of 14 distances between establishments, capping the number of licenses issued, imposing eligibility or minimum floor area requirements, limiting gaming to certain liquor license classes, regulating internal placement of terminals, and adopting additional signage regulations through the zoning code. Mr. Recklaus asked the Board to consider the additional regulations the Village could apply, should they choose to proceed with VGTs. Liquor License Compliance Staff explained that, except for fraternal organizations and truck stops, businesses must hold an on-premise liquor license to operate VGTs. Certain liquor license classifications may not qualify due to the Village’s minimum seating requirements and smaller building footprints, which may make it difficult for some establishments to accommodate VGTs while maintaining required seating. Additionally, businesses must meet State regulatory requirements, including placing VGTs in restricted areas, ensuring the gaming area is visible to a staff member at least 21 years of age, and complying with machine density and spacing requirements. Some liquor license classifications require establishments to operate as full-service restaurants, maintain 25 or 75 seats depending on the classification, and offer full food service whenever alcohol is served. Examples include restaurants, hotels, bowling alleys, wine cafés, veterans and non-profit service clubs, senior dining facilities, coffee shops, and banquet halls. While other classifications permit on-premise alcohol consumption without a food service requirement, including cosmetic facilities, microbreweries and breweries, second-floor establishments in the Downtown District, and indoor non-profit theaters. Mr. Recklaus asked the Board to consider whether video gaming licenses should be independent of a liquor license or if a supplementary liquor license should be created, what types of establishments should be allowed VGTs, should there be a minimum tenure requirement to reduce the possibility of gaming lounges, and if there would be an interest in amending the liquor license minimum seating requirement. Financial Impacts Under the Illinois Gaming Act of 2009, the Village would receive 5% of the net terminal income from VGTs. A survey of nearby communities showed an average municipal revenue of $21,440 per video gaming establishment, with an average of 19 establishments per community, resulting in an average annual municipal revenue share of approximately $407,361. In accordance with Section 7-1208 of the Village's Municipal Code, 10% of gaming revenue ($40,736 based on the average estimate) would be allocated annually to the Housing Trust Fund, with the remaining revenue deposited into the General Fund. Staff also noted that a licensing process and fee structure would be established; nearby communities charge up to $5,300 for a video gaming license, $1,000 per VGT, and a $500 application fee, with licensing revenue directed to the General Fund. Trustee Manganaro was skeptical of projected revenues due to market saturation. He mentioned that municipalities might only receive a small share of revenues while bearing many of the social costs. He did not see a compelling reason to move forward with legalizing VGTs in Village establishments and welcomed further research before making a decision. Trustee Bertucci mentioned the Village has allowed gambling for 99 years and currently hosts one establishment with VGTs. Gambling was legalized in 1927 when the Arlington Race Track opened its doors, and it maintained a family-friendly environment despite being a gambling venue. He questioned why VGTs are considered a health concern when the Village permits other potentially addictive substances, such as alcohol, cigarettes, and marijuana, despite their known risks and possible consequences. He Page 4 of 14 believed legalizing VGTs would help local businesses retain their clientele. Trustee Santa Maria acknowledged the business owners who shared their perspectives on VGTs, the challenges of running a small business, and the need for an additional revenue stream. However, she was not in support of allowing VGTs in Village establishments as long-term impacts strongly link electronic gaming machines with gambling addiction, could impact a family's financial stability, and the introduction of VGTs could quickly alter the character of Village establishments. She felt that raising municipal revenue through gambling may contribute to community hardship and would create a harmful cycle. Trustee Dunnington was also opposed to VGTs. She mentioned a few nearby communities that have a thriving downtown without VGTs in their establishments. She also mentioned the difficulty and fairness of choosing which establishments receive video gaming licenses. Trustee Schwingbeck was in favor of legalizing VGTs. He mentioned that he viewed video gaming as casual entertainment, often discreet within an establishment. It could help generate revenue that could reduce or avoid future property tax increases while supporting local business owners. He said the Village has the advantage of learning from other towns and could set regulations to best support VGTs in the community. Trustee LaBedz was opposed to legalizing VGTs. Trustee Gilbert was in favor of legalizing VGTs at a thoughtful pace as it could benefit the entire community, not just business owners. He emphasized the Village's responsibility to maintain services, invest in the community, and plan carefully. While revenue estimates may seem low, the potential redevelopment of Arlington Park could greatly increase funds. Revenues could support the Board's strategic priority for affordable housing while also addressing potential downsides such as gambling addiction. Trustee Zyck felt conflicted as there was a desire to support businesses, but there were concerns about the social impact. He would like to find a balanced approach to supporting businesses while also protecting the community. President Tinaglia was in support of legalizing VGTs in Village establishments. He said business owners are looking at the Village for help and mentioned the disadvantage and unfair competition they experience when patrons leave to spend money in neighboring towns that offer VGTs. He recalled a similar dialogue with regard to the sale of cannabis in the Village. It was initially turned down and revisited within eight months when it was approved by the Board. President Tinaglia asked each Trustee if they would like to move forward with legalizing VGTs, were not interested in legalizing VGTs now or in the future, or would like further research before making a decision. After further discussion, the following Trustees were in favor of legalizing VGTs: Schwingbeck, Gilbert, Bertucci and President Tinaglia. Trustee's Santa Maria, Dunnington, Manganaro, and LaBedz were opposed. Trustee Zyck would be open to further research. It was decided to table the discussion on legalization of VGTs. VI. OTHER BUSINESS Page 5 of 14 VII. PUBLIC COMMENT Anyone wishing to speak on a subject not on the Agenda may speak at this time. Please limit your comments to three minutes. The majority of the public comment was in opposition to legalizing video gaming terminals in Village establishments. There was a sentiment that video gaming would alter the character and charm of the downtown district and establishments would lose the family- friendly atmosphere currently offered. While a portion of video gaming revenue would support the Affordable Housing Trust Fund, it did not align with the Board's strategic priorities for affordable housing. Instead, it could create an increased demand for Village assistance for those who experience increased financial instability, household debt, and bankruptcy as a result of developing a gambling addiction. Many expressed concerns over the health and well-being of residents as video gaming may cause anxiety, depression, isolation, and a greater risk for family conflict. There was a consensus that the quality of life of Village residents outweighed any additional revenue stream resulting from video gaming. Those who spoke in support of video gaming, many of whom were local business owners, argued that individuals who wish to gamble could easily do so on their electronic devices while sitting at a restaurant or bar. Meanwhile, they are losing customers and revenue to nearby towns who allow video gaming in their establishments. With the rising cost of food and labor, the additional revenue stream would be beneficial to their business. For those restaurants not located in the downtown area, they find themselves competing not only with neighboring establishments who offer video gaming, but also the downtown restaurants who benefit from Alfresco dining in the summer months, Sounds of Summer, Harmony Fest, and any other special event. It was also mentioned that new businesses are overlooking Arlington Heights and electing to open their businesses in towns that allow video gaming. It was suggested that establishments find creative ways to attract customers, such as hosting public speakers, book clubs, local bands, and dancing. VIII.
