D. Agreement to Purchase Two Mobile Column Truck Lifts via the NASPCO
Value Point Contract in the Amount Not-to-Exceed $90,000
Summary: Two sets of heavy-duty truck lifts from the late 1990s have reached
the end of their useful life and need replaced. The FY 2023 budget does not
include funds for this expense. The 20'year Community Investment Plan had
this replacement forecast for 2028 but with a set that is failing now, Staff
recommends expediting the purchase. The proposed new lifts are the same
manufacturer as existing lifts at Public Works, ARI-Hetra, purchased through
the National Association of State Procurement Officials Value Point Contract.
Recommended Action: A motion was made by Trustee Riley, seconded
by Trustee Sugrue, to approve the Consent Agenda as presented.

Ordinance Approving a Development Agreement by and Between the Village
of Lake Zurich, Lake County, Illinois and Zen Properties, LLC
ORD. #2023'06-518
Village of Lake Zurich Board of Trustees Regular Meeting. Monday June 19th, 2023. 3
Summary: The Lake Zurich Industrial TIF District was created in January
2023 by the Village Board, after the review and unanimous approval of the
Joint Review Board, for the purpose of providing a long-term funding
mechanism for infrastructure improvements within the industrial park and
supporting business expansion and modernization efforts.
Zen Properties, LLC, doing business as CM Industries at 505 Oakwood, has
the need for more production and office space to facilitate its growing
operations and is requesting TIF assistance related to the construction of a
new facility at 865 Telser Road. The company has chosen this location to
construct an approximately 43,000 square-foot building to house its production
of robotic welding torches, welding guns, smoke extractors, and nozzle cleaning
stations that serve the energy, transportation, construction, and waste
treatment industries.
This new industrial production facility will cost approximately $6. 1 million to
develop, including TIF-eligible expenses such as site work prep, engineering
and architecture fees, and electric/gas utility connections. A future Telser
Road facility for CM Industries would create new jobs, but more importantly
will retain this business in the Lake Zurich industrial park as the Village
competes with other municipalities for economic development projects.
The proposed TIF development agreement will help offset this significant $6.1
million investment into the community with a rebate of $652,000 of future
property taxes over approximately 10 years through the Tax Increment
Finance District #4 (industrial TIF), which equates to approximately 10.7% of
the overall costs of this company expansion project.
Asst. to the Village Manager Kyle Kordell gave background information on Zen
Properties and their request. Mr. Kordell mentioned that the vacancy rate in
the Industrial Area is less than 4%.
Recommended Action: A motion was made by Trustee Weider, seconded by
Trustee Euker, to approve Ordinance #2023-06-518 Approving a Development
Agreement by and between the Village of Lake Zurich, Lake County, Illinois
and Zen Properties, LLC.
AYES: 4 Trustees Euker, Riley, Sugrue, Weider.
