The PZC held a public hearing on the matter on August 25, 2022 and continued to discuss it on September 22, 2022. The intent of these Text Amendments is to provide a consistent and predictable process for those applying for a Temporary Use and Event Permit, a uniform review of all departments of each application, and a simplification of the Village Code. Examples of the type of events which would require this permit are the Old Fashioned Streetdance, school district fun runs in the right-of-way, carnivals, etc. The PZC took public testimony and recommended changes to the proposed Text Amendments. Changes from the initial recommendation provided by staff include: removing and relaxing the timeframe restrictions, including a hold harmless agreement, including exemptions for government entities, private parties, and more, and a reduced application fee. After the changes were made the Commission voted 4-0 (unanimously) to recommend approval of the text amendments to the Committee of the Whole. Attachments to this memo include: • Draft application • Draft hold harmless agreement • Complete clean copy of text amendments • Redlined text amendments Financial Impact: N/A Recommendation(s): Page 2 of 30 Staff recommend discussing the proposed text amendments and directing the Village Attorney to prepare an ordinance adopting the changes.

Appendix A – Fee Schedule Chapter 2 – Administration Temporary Use and Events Permit - $50 Page 16 of 30 Committee Item Memo Meeting Date: October 24, 2022 Staff Contact: Stevie Ferrari, Assistant Village Manager Department: Village Manager's Office Subject: Recommendation Regarding a new Village Website Service Provider Background Information: The Village Manager’s office established an Information Technology (IT) Strategic Planning committee comprised of representatives from each Department to contribute to the development of an IT Strategic Plan. The primary purpose of the Strategic Plan was to set a direction and priority for the Village’s IT needs and infrastructure based on the operational priorities of each department and the Village’s overall goals and objectives. The Strategic Plan lays the foundation for IT project needs by Department to be considered for each budget year. It is inclusive of both hardware and software replacements, operational tools, and cyber security considerations. The Strategic Plan acts as a guiding document for Village leadership as funding allocation decisions are made during each budget cycle. The Plan provides context and prioritization for individual projects which helps ensure the long-term security and quality of the Village’s IT infrastructure. Since the implementation of this plan in 2021, the Village has been able to accomplish more than several IT initiatives across departments which has contributed to better operational efficiencies. Initiatives include: Police Department body cameras, electronic security door system, records retention software, televised board meetings, work order management system, Fire Department Mobile Data Terminal Tablets (MDT), as well as more in progress. Budgeted for 2022 in the amount of $20,000, and identified as a weakness across all departments within the It Strategic Plan Committee members is the Village website. The current website for the Village is difficult to navigate. A new site that is standardized and is easier for residents to quickly access the information most needed is important. The website is the face of the Village for both residents and neighboring communities. Having information easily accessible for visitors in the area will benefit our community. Page 17 of 30 The benefits of having a more modern, up-to-date, and streamlined website will vastly improve the Village’s ability to communicate with the public, increase transparency, and provide services more impactfully. As the Village increases its use of digital tools such as Social Media, GIS, Work Order Management System, E-Suite modules for New World System, and Rec-Trac, among others, having a website that can be more easily navigated, edited, updated and accessible will be crucial to improving services. The process of seeking a new website vendor began with assembling representatives from all Village departments that would contribute valuable input in the steps of seeking proposals and demonstrations by qualified vendors. This team reviewed the proposal and demonstrations by four different vendors: CivicPlus, CivicLive, Granicus, and Revize. Team members had the opportunity to ask specific questions related to each department, as well as see demonstrations in use of department specific items. Once the review of these four vendors was complete, the team provided a consensus in which two vendors would be welcomed back for further in depth questions, demonstrations and provision of scope of work proposals with cost estimates. Revize and CivicLive were the selected vendors. At the conclusion of the second meeting, all team members had a consensus in first choice vendor being Revize. Revize provided a robust presentation in services and was the most knowledgeable in staff questions. Additionally, Revize's service proposal came under our allotted budget amount for the first year total of $17,700 and annual maintenance of $3,900 for subsequent years. Thomas Jean, the project/proposal manager of Revize is present today to provide a brief presentation on staff requested highlights of their services including but not limited to; responsive web design allowing for a more easily navigated site for residents which will include page templates and inner page design and layout making the staff backline maintenance much more comprehensive, content migration of old website, hosted services, and analytics of site for use in future updates and maintenance of the site. Revize's field knowledge, dedication to the RFP process, final under budgeted costs and accessibility were some primary factors in their recommendation. Financial Impact: $17,700 Contract Fee Year One. $3,900 Annual Maintenance Fee Recommendation(s): Village staff recommends Revize as our new website service provider Attachments: Revize Website Sales Agreement for Village of Brookfield IL 10072022 Page 18 of 30 Page 1 of 6 Revize Web Services Sales Agreement This Sales Agreement is between The Village of Brookfield, Illinois (“CLIENT”) and Revize LLC, aka Revize Software Systems, (“Revize”).

Under the Property Tax Extension Limitation Law (PTELL or the Tax Cap), the Village is allowed to increase its levy from the previous year’s levy by an amount of the lower of the Consumer Price Index (CPI) or 5%. For the 2022 Tax Levy, the CPI was 7.0%--allowing the Village to increase the Tax Levy up to 5%, exclusive of any new growth. New growth in property value is exempt from PTELL, and the Village historically has set its levy request at an amount that will ensure full capture of that growth. The 5% growth allowed for the 2022 Tax Levy is the highest increase allowed for over 25 years. The estimated levy for the Village’s capped taxes has been set at a 6% growth level. The Library has not yet approved its Tax Levy for 2022; it is expected that the final 2022 Library Tax Levy will be adopted at the October 26, 2022 Library Board of Trustee’s Meeting. For purposes of the 2022 estimated Library Levy, an 8.3% increase over the last year’s extended levy will be used in the calculation. This has been discussed with the Executive Director of the Library. For purposes of the Truth in Taxation Resolution the Village’s 2022 estimated tax levy is $12,516,488. This represents a 4.6% increase over the 2021 extended levy. The total Village and Library Levy combined amounts to $15,066,917--an increase of 5.2% over the previous year’s levy.
