Intergovernmental Agreements between the Village of Lake Zurich and the Village of Island Lake for Dispatch Services and Detainee Housing Summaryi Lake Zurich has provided public safety radio dispatch services to Island Lake since 2013. The current agreement expires April 30, 2024 and both parties seek to extend the agreement for two more years or until all parties 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.

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. AYES: 4 Trustees Weider, Sugrue, Euker, Bobrowski NAYSI 0 ABSENT: 2 Trustees Riley and Spacone. MOTION CARRIED.

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.
