D. Ordinance Authorizing the Disposal of Surplus Property Owned by the Village
of Lake Zurich (Assign Ord. #2025-04-607)
Summary: Staff has identified pieces of equipment that are not in working
order, would require repairs in excess of present market value, or are obsolete.
E. Resolution to Induce the Redevelopment of Certain Property Within the
Industrial District Tax Increment Financing Redevelopment Project Area #4
for Echo at 400 Oakwood Road (Assign Reso. #2025-04-094)
Summary: The Illinois Tax Increment Allocation Redevelopment Act allows
the Village to stimulate or induce redevelopment projects designated as the
Industrial Center Redevelopment Project Area.
ECHO proposes to expand its manufacturing operations with an additional
80,000 square feet attached to its current distribution center. This estimated
$17 million investment would retain a major employer in Lake Zurich,
accompanied by additional jobs and increased assessed property value.
ECHO requests consideration of TIF funding to help build the expansion due
to high building costs and limited solutions to accommodate the new
underground stormwater detention facilities. Adoption of the inducement
resolution does not commit the Village to a specific incentive at this time, but
makes qualifying activities eligible for potential future TUF reimbursement.
F. 2025-2026 Special Recreation Association of Central Lake County Member
Agency Contribution in the Amount of $129,274
Summary: The Village is one of eight member agencies of the Special
Recreation Association of Central Lake County (SRACLC), which provides
community based therapeutic recreation programs and services to people of all ages
with disabilities or special needs. As a SRACLC member, the Village is able to
levy a tax ($375,000 in FY2025) to support inclusion assistance and ADA
accessible facilities and equipment, including eligible improvements with the
upcoming OSLAD project at Paulus Park. Over the past year, numerous Lake
Zurich youth benefit from this investment in both Village programs (e.g. inclusion
assistance with Dance, Day Camp, etc.) and SRA programs and events.
Ongoing participation in SRACLC requires an annual agency contribution, which
was included in the FY 2025 budget. Staff recommends approval of the Special
Recreation Association of Central Lake County member agency contribution
for the amount of $129,274.
G. Resolution for the Lake Zurich Triathlon Route to be Held on July 13, 2025
(Assign Reso. #2025-04-095)

J. Agreement with Suburban Concrete Inc. for the 2025 Concrete Flatwork

Summary: The FY 2025 budget allocates $200,000 in the Non-Home Rule Sales
Tax Fund for concrete curb and sidewalk repairs. A bid opening was held on
