Summaryi Lake Zurich has provided public safety radio dispatch services to
Island Lake since 2013. The current agreement expires April 30, 2024 and both

agree to transition dispatch operations to a regional 911 system.
State law requires that facilities housing detainees be staffed and monitored. (-4
l
Since the Island Lake Police station is not staffed 24 hours a day, they are
unable to house detainees when staff is not in the building. The Lake Zurich
police station is currently staffed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and thus have
developed an agreement that would enable Island Lake to house their
detainees at the Lake Zurich Police Department.

NEW BUSINESS
A. Authorization to Waive the Competitive Bid Process and Proceed with
Agreements with AquaPro Plumbing, Paint Platoon USA Company, and All
Partitions to Complete Emergency Repairs at the Paulus Park Chalet in the
Amount Not-to-Exceed $55,291
Summaryi The Paulus Park Chalet has been closed since mid-February for
program use due to extensive repairs to the sanitary service. The repair
requires partial demolition and replacement of interior plumbing, £looring,
walls, and the replacement of the sanitary lift station servicing the facility. The
facility will continue to be unavailable until the completion of this work,
creating the potential for interruption of scheduled summer programs,
activities, and camp.
Proposals were solicited from vendors capable of performing the necessary
repairs and replacements. On-site Visits were conducted with vendors and
Village Staff received proposals for both the plumbing and restoration. Due to
the high use of this facility, especially heading into summer camp activities,
Staff is recommending the competitive bid process be waived in an effort to
expedite the repairs and return it to service as quickly as possible.
Directors Brown and Caputo explained how multiple proposals were received
from companies for this emergency repair work and Staff is proposing the least
expensive estimates received. A full competitive bid opening would simply
take too long and result in significant service interruptions for Lake Zurich
families that depend the Parks and Rec Department offering summer
programs.
Actions: A motion was made by Trustee Weider, seconded by Trustee Sugrue,
to waive the competitive bid process and approve agreements with AquaPro
Plumbing, Paint Platoon USA Company, and All Partitions for emergency
repairs at the Paulus Park Chalet in the amount not-to-exceed $55,291.

Agreement with Vicarious Multimedia - St. Steven Public Relations for
Referendum Communications in the Amount Not-to-Exceed $30,000
Summary: On March 18, 2024, the Village Board approved the wording for a
referendum question to appear before Lake Zurich voters on the November
2024 General Election ballot. If approved by Lake Zurich voters, this
referendum would increase the local non-home rule sales tax by 0.5%, or half-
a‘penny on the dollar.
This new revenue would mitigate the 5-Year water rate increases that are
necessary to fund the transition to Lake Michigan water. Residents will get
the choice to decide if the approximately 40% of non-residents that contribute
to Lake Zurich’s sales tax should assist in paying for the Lake Michigan water
transition or if the cost of this should transition should be funded by increased
water rates over the next five years.
After reviewing proposals for referendum educational communications, Village
staff is recommending Vicarious Multimedia to enhance internal efforts in a
multi-channel, multi-media public information and community engagement
campaign starting on April 15 and running through November 5, 2024.
Assistant Village Manager Duebner explained to the Board how Vicarious
Multimedia came to be the recommended vendor for supplemental referenda
communications and introduced Vicarious Multimedia CEO Melanie
Santostefano, who explained to the Board the services she offers and her
proposed scope of work for educating Lake Zurich voters about the upcoming
November 2024 referenda.
Actions: A motion was made by Mayor Poynton, seconded by Trustee Weider,
to approve an agreement with Vicarious Multimedia - St. Steven Public
Relations for referendum communications in the amount not-to-exceed
