6. CONSENT AGENDA
A. Approval of Replacement HVAC Roof-top Unit at Police Department
Summary: The Police Department has experienced numerous problems with HVAC
RTU #1 which date back to 2007. This unit serves the Training/Community Room
and lower level Sergeants and Reporting Writing area. The Village has expended
large amounts of funds to address this unit’s problems and the cost for repairing
this unit has exceeded the cost of replacement of the unit. Recommendation is
being made to replace Rooftop Unit #1 using one of the contractors submitting a
proposal.
Pulled from the Agenda until May 6, 2013 meeting.
B. Approval of Kildeer Service Agreement for Vehicle Maintenance
Summary: Kildeer currently has nine Police vehicles and uses local repair shops to
maintain their fleet. Fleet Services would provide routine maintenance and make
repairs as needed. In doing so, Kildeer will be receiving quality repairs and
maintenance by people familiar with emergency response vehicles, at a secured
location. Kildeer would be charged an hourly labor rate, initially $90.00 per hour.
The labor rate will be reviewed annually. In addition, any parts and supplies used
in the course of the repairs will be charged back to Kildeer.
Trustee Halen’s question was answered by Public Works Gen. Services Supt.
Mike Brown.
C. Approval of Intergovernmental Agreement with Kildeer and Hawthorne Woods for
Purchase of Fuel
Summary: An Intergovernmental Agreement has been in place since 2003 allowing
the Villages of Hawthorn Woods and Kildeer use of the fuel pumps at the Lake
Zurich Public Works facility. Both communities are charged an annual lump sum
fee based on 5 percent of there annual usage. For this agreement the fee would be:
Hawthorn Woods: $ 2,650.00 and Kildeer: $ 1,600.00. This fee is in addition to
amount of fuel consumed in which they pay at our cost. This agreement is for the
period of May 1, 2013 through April 30, 2015.
D. Approval of Intergovernmental Agreement with Ela Township for Fuel Purchase
Summary: Ela Township Highway Department currently has a fueling system at
there facility, which has no back up power source. This agreement would assure
Ela Township a back up source of fuel in the event that there system was out of
service. It is anticipated that the use would be minimal, possibly once or twice a
year. Due to the possibility of Ela Township never using the fuel system or only
using it once or twice a year, no annual fee would be charged. Ela Township would
only be charged for the amount of fuel consumed.
E. Resolution Authorizing Expenditure of MFT Funds for Landscape Contract
Summary: In order to receive authorization to expend Motor Fuel Tax (MFT)
Funds, the Village is required to pass an MFT Resolution, which obligates MFT
funds for specific purposes, as attached. Recommendation is made to approve the
MFT resolution for the purpose of right-of-way mowing.

expiration date of May 1, 2013. Out of six bidders, Best Quality, Inc. was the lowest
