In the first week of November 2021, members of the telecommunicators FOP Local 190-2 union accepted a new three-year contract. The proposed contract includes annual cost of living salary adjustments of 2.5% for each year during the three-year contract, among other contract revisions outlined in the staff memo. Recommended Action: A motion to approve the Collective Bargaining Agreement dated January 1, 2022 between the Village of Lake Zurich and Lake Zurich Telecommunicators Affiliated with the Illinois Fraternal Order of Police Local 190-2.  3 B. 2021 Property Tax Levy Extension Ordinance and Five Abatement Ordinances Regarding Debt Service (Trustee Sprawka) Summary: Each year, the Village Board approves a tax levy ordinance to certify with the Lake County Clerk’s Office in order to extend property taxes on real estate parcels within Lake Zurich corporate boundaries. The 2021 levy request is based upon the estimated equalized assessed value (EAV) of those properties, as determined by the Ela Township Assessor’s Office and the Chief County Assessor’s Office. Applying the rates authorized by the Property Tax Extension Limitation Law (PTELL), the Village is requesting a total levy of $9,671,391 which represents an increase of 2.55% over the previous year. The tax levy request for 2021 includes $1,218,878 for debt service and $4,553,511 for the Police and Fire Pension Funds. Five ordinances totaling $2,594,578 regarding debt service abatements are also presented for Village Board action. As sufficient funds are available from other revenue sources to pay scheduled debt service payments as they become due, the need to extend a property tax levy on these issues is not warranted. Therefore, the Village will notify the County Clerk to not extend property taxes on these abatement ordinances. Recommended Action #1: A motion to approve Ordinance #2021-11-441 authorizing the 2021 Property Tax Levy Extension in the Amount of $9,671,391. Recommended Action #2: A motion to approve the following five abatement ordinances regarding debt service via a single roll-call vote: a) Ordinance #2021-11-442 Abating Certain Taxes Levied for $3,800,000 General Obligation Bonds, Waterworks and Sewerage System Alternate Revenue Sources, Series 2013 A. b) Ordinance #2021-11-443 Abating Certain Taxes Levied for $6,325,000 General Obligation Refunding Bonds, Series 2014 A. c) Ordinance #2021-11-444 Abating Certain Taxes Levied for $11,775,000 General Obligation Refunding Bonds, Series 2015 A. d) Ordinance #2021-11-445 Abating Certain Taxes Levied for $7,100,000 General Obligation Refunding Bonds, Series 2016 A. e) Ordinance #2021-11-446 Abating Certain Taxes Levied for $1,000,000 General Obligation Bonds (Waterworks and Sewerage System Alternate Revenue Source) Series 2016 B.  4 C. Courtesy Review with Two Pointo LLC for a Proposed Recreational Cannabis Dispensary at 927 South Rand Road (Trustee Bobrowski) Summary: Two Pointo LLC proposes to open a Lake Zurich adult-use recreational and medical dispensary at 927 South Rand Road (formerly La Mula Mexican Grill restaurant) pending approval of a Special Use Permit from the Village Board. Two Pointo LLC secured a State cannabis dispensary license for the Chicago- metro area in the August 19, 2021 lottery that was held for top-scoring applicants with 100% scores. Any future retail operation operated by Two Pointo in Lake Zurich would use a different brand name for the store, pending marketing efforts that are currently underway. In December 2020, the Village Board approved zoning regulations to allow cannabis dispensaries via a Special Use Permit in non-residential zoning districts and to formalize restrictions on the location, design and operations of such businesses. A Special Use Permit can only be issued via Ordinance by the Village Board after a Public Hearing process at the Planning and Zoning Commission. The cannabis zoning regulations approved by the Board in December 2020 require cannabis dispensaries to be a minimum of 500 feet from a school, library, day care or group home; 250 feet from a park, and 1,500 feet away from another dispensary. The subject property at 927 South Rand Road meets the adopted zoning criteria for a cannabis dispensary. The current cannabis zoning regulations adopted by the Village include references to applicable State statutes that apply to this highly-regulated industry, such as security, storage and transportation requirements. The ordinance also references the State statute for hours of operation, which are currently set at 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM. If the concept for a second cannabis dispensary at 927 South Rand Road is acceptable to the Village Board, Two Pointo LLC intends to request consideration of a Special Use Permit by the PZC at an upcoming scheduled meeting. Recommended Action: This is a non-voting item at this time. The developer and Village Staff seek to understand the Board’s preferences towards the proposed use at this site. 9.
