4 - Public Hearing - Proposed FY 2022-2023 Budget
President Johnson noted pursuant to the requirements of the Illinois Municipal Code (65 ILCS 5/8-
2-6), the Village of Libertyville is required to hold a public hearing prior to the adoption of its
annual budget. In compliance with the Act, notice of the hearing was published in the Daily Herald
on March 10, 2022.
The first draft of the proposed Fiscal Year 2022-2023 budget was made available for public
inspection on February 14, 2022 on both the Village's website and at the Village Hall. Budget
review workshops were held by the Village Board on March 5 and March 15, 2022. These
workshop meetings were properly noticed in compliance with the Illinois Open Meetings Act (5
ILCS 120).
During the budget review meetings, the Village Board provided direction to incorporate two
changes into the final budget:
1. Revision oftimelines and milestones for department goals and objectives -No
BOARD OF TRUSTEES
March 22, 2022
2
financial impact
2. A cost-of-living adjustment of 2.75% for non-union employees, calculated based on
current economic and labor market considerations
The revised final proposed budget document reflecting these changes was made available for
public inspection on March 16, 2022 on the Village's website and at the Village Hall.
The highlights of the FY 2022-2023 budget include:
• Operating revenues for all appropriated funds totaling $76,384,379, an increase of
$12,512,404 or 19.6% compared to the FY 2021-2022 budget. A significant portion of this
change is due to planned debt issuance for capital projects as well as anticipated increases
in intergovernmental revenue.
• Operating expenditures for all appropriated funds of $49,665,075, an increase of
$1,131,250 or 2.3% compared to the FY 2021-2022 budget. The net operating budget is
balanced across all appropriated funds.
• Capital investment in community infrastructure totaling $26,958,363, an increase of
$10,565,446 or 64.5%, compared to the FY 2021-2022 budget. This increase is primarily
driven by two significant stormwater sewer improvement projects planned for construction
in FY 2022-2023.
• The property tax impact of the proposed budget will be a $7 annual increase in the Village
portion of a typical resident's property tax bill (9%). The average resident will also pay
$54 more in utility charges annually due to planned increases of 3% for water service and
5% for sanitary sewer service. The total budget impact on an average resident is a 2.3%
increase, which is substantially less than the 2021 change in the Consumer Price Index of
7.0%.
The attachment to this supplement includes an overview of budgeted revenues and expenditures
by fund along with 225 projected fund balances.
President Johnson asked if there were any public comments and there were none. Trustees Adams,
Garrity, Hickey, Kmmmick, Love, and Connell thanked staff for their efforts throughout the
budget process. President Johnson also thanked staff for their efforts in dealing with a global
pandemic and onboarding a new Village Board.

Permit for a Planned Development PC 20-30, Amendment to the Planned Development Final
Plan PC 20-31, Amendment to the Special Use Permit for a Sports and Entertainment
Complex PC 20-32, Amendment to the Site Plan Permit PC 20-33, Final Plat of Subdivision
PC 20-35, Amendment to the Planned Development Final Plan PC 20-36, Final Plat of
Subdivision
On Febmary 14, 2022, the Plan Commission held a public meeting on the Final Development Plan
to develop the land to the south of the Sports Complex at 1800 N. US Highway 45. Included in the
proposal is construction of two office/warehouse/industrial buildings and realignment and
additional parking at the Sports Complex site.
The industrial/office buildings would be constructed by Midwest Industrial as Spec Space. Land
uses are proposed to be consistent with the underlying 0-2 Office, Manufacturing and Distribution
Park District. If the petitioner proposes a use that is listed as Specially Permitted, then a public
hearing would be held at that time.
The major items discussed during the meeting were as follows:
BOARD OF TRUSTEES
March 22, 2022

Sports Complex:
• Realignment/addition of parking spaces: Roadways are proposed to be realigned and
parking added to allow the Complex to operate without use of the parking to the south of
the building.
• Sidewalk: Members of the Plan Commission voiced support for a sidewalk on the south
side of the building to provide pedestrian connection to expanded parking to the east. Staff
has reviewed this issue and found that the site grades do not work for a sidewalk in the
current layout. Staff offers to monitor the situation with Canlan Sports and either address
the rear door to allow full access, or redesign the roadway to be one-way and include a
pedestrian carriage walkway.
• Traffic Signal: At the Concept Plan level, it was discussed that the Tempel Road leg of the
intersection at Rt. 45 opposite the Sports Complex meets the warrant for a traffic signal.
The Sports Complex use does not meet the warrants alone. Staff is committed to conducting
a funding study for a signal at this intersection. The study remains a development condition
of the project.
Midwest Proposal
• Truck traffic: The buildings are designed with a centralized truck court to separate trucks
from cars as much as possible. Concerns from the neighbors were stated regarding the
increase in truck traffic on adjoining roadways. Truck traffic will be allowed on-site,
however, a Truck Terminal is not allowed in the current zoning district nor is it being
proposed. Land uses being considered are consistent with the underlying zoning. Trucks
will not be allowed north of the interior truck dock area.
• Traffic Concerns: Both adjoining roadways are under the jurisdiction of the Illinois
Department of Transportation (IDOT) which has approved the Traffic Impact Study. No
additional or changes to the geometries of the site are required by IDOT.
• Connection to Peterson Road: The current site has a connector road to Peterson. The
development of the property does not lend itself to a full roadway, but a clear connection
is proposed along the south end of the Midwest building and access is provided through
the western parking lot.
• Water Runoff and Quality: Neighbor concerns voiced included stormwater impacts on
downstream properties and water quality. It was reviewed that the detention basin will be
rebuilt to address all volume and release rate requirements through an expansion of the
basin and the installation of a new outlet control structure. The basin is also being
constructed to meet applicable water quality requirements which include an expanded
wetland-bottom footprint consisting of native plantings.
At the conclusion of the meeting, the Plan Commission debated whether the Final Plan was in
substantial conformity with the Concept Plan. A motion was made to recommend Village Board
of Trustees approval of the Final Plan subject to the development conditions listed in the DRC

Report (see attached). The motion was approved with a vote of 4 - 3 with dissenters noting a
concern with the size of the industrial development, the lack of a separate connector road to
Peterson and the lack of a sidewalk connecting the east parking lot of the Sports Complex and the
main entrance to the building.
Attorney Passman offered an overview of the process and potential next steps for approval.
Community Development Director Spoden offered additional, detailed information about the
project. Developer representatives were present and made some remarks. The representatives
spoke about the planned usage, stormwater, and traffic concerns. President Johnson asked
questions and the representatives spoke to her concerns. Trustee Adams asked questions about
potential restrictions on overnight hours, and the developer spoke to the item.
Chris Geiselhart of unincorporated Libertyville expressed concerns about stormwater and
watershed issues. Meg Carter of Liberty ville offered concerns about safety, traffic, and other
environmental concerns. Kyle Burby of Libertyville mentioned concerns about safety. Erin Stout
of unincorporated Libertyville expressed light industrial for the property usage and expressed
concerns about traffic and stormwater issues. Mike Norra of unincorporated Liberty ville offered
concerns about traffic and safety concerns. Sheri Rocci of unincorporated Libertyville mentioned
health concerns and Trustee Adams asked the speaker a question. Richard Adams of
unincorporated Liberty ville expressed concerns about traffic and flooding issues. President
Johnson spoke to the speaker's concerns and asked staff questions. Marty Neal of Libertyville
offered support for the item and discussed a water engineering study.
Trustee Adams offered comments and support for the item. Trustee Garrity offered comments and
support for the item. President Johnson asked Director Kendzior a question. Tmstee Hickey
offered support and thanked the veteran board members and staff. Trustee Krummick thanked
residents for their comments and asked the petitioner several questions. Trustee Love asked the
petitioner questions. Trustee Connell thanked staff, veteran board members, and Marty Neal for
their contributions to this item. President Johnson spoke about stormwater issues.
A condition was suggested that the development reduce idling to the extent practicable.
Trustee Adams moved to approve item 7 with the additional condition, and Trustee Garrity

AYES: Trustees Adams, Garrity, Hickey, Krummick, Love, and Connell

9 - RESOLUTIO NO. 22-R-43: A Resolution to Approve a Joint Bid Contract Renewal with
Globe Construction, Inc. for the Annual Sidewalk Replacement Program
President Johnson noted that competitive bids were received and publicly opened on March 9,
2021 for the McHenry County Municipal Partnering Initiative (MPI) Sidewalk Replacement
Program joint purchasing program. Globe Construction, Inc. was determined to be the lowest
responsive bidder. The Village Board of Trustees awarded the contract to Globe Construction on
April 13, 2021 for an amount not to exceed $105,000.00 with the passage of Resolution 21-R-47.
The contract was bid with the option to renew the contract for an additional two years (Year 2 and
Year 3). The table below shows the bid results for Year 2 of the contract.
Contractor Sidewalk R&R Unit Price (SF) ADA Panels (Each)
Globe Construction, Inc. $7.80 $185.00
Schroeder & Schroeder, Inc. $10.50 $315.00
Strada Construction $11.50 $325.00
Chadwick Construction $12.85 $310.00
Copenhaver Construction, Inc. $13.00 $550.00
Alliance Contractors, Inc. $15.75 $400.00
The Fiscal Year 2022/23 Annual Budget has $200,000 allocated in the Project Fund (Account #40-
0000- 0-784) for sidewalk removal and replacements. Staff recommends approval of Globe
Construction's unit prices shown in the attached bid tabulation in a not-to-exceed amount of
$160,000. The remaining $40,000 will be allocated to sidewalk hydraulic lifting (i.e. mud-jacking)
in order to correct trip hazards. Globe Construction, Inc. has successfully completed the Joint-Bid
Program for the last few years.
Staff recommends adoption of the attached resolution to approve the contract renewal with Globe
Construction, Inc. in the not-to-exceed amount of $160,000 for the Annual Sidewalk Replacement
Program and authorize execution of the contract renewal by the Village Administrator, subject to
the appropriation of funds in the FY 2022/23 Annual Budget.
President Johnson asked if there were any public comments, and there were none. Trustees Hickey
and Krummick asked Director Kendzior some questions.

10 - RESOLUTION NO. 22-R-44: A Resolution to Award a Contract for the 2022 Joint Bid
Road Rehabilitation Program to Peter Baker «& Son Co.
President Johnson noted that the Draft Fiscal Year 2022/23 Budget includes funds to perform
roadway maintenance as part of the Annual Road Improvement Program. The Village participated
in a Joint Bid Road program with Mundelein, Vernon Hills, and the Libertyville Township Road
District in an effort to continue to receive advantageous competitive unit price bids based upon an
"economy of scale" from larger contract quantities. An Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) was
executed previously by all parties in December 2018 and amended in February 2019 for the Joint
Bid program. Public Works staff worked with the joint bid agencies and Gewalt Hamilton
Associates, Inc. (GHA) to prepare plans, specifications and to solicit competitive contractor bids.
Competitive contractor bids were opened on March 8, 2022. Three (3) bids were received for the
project with the following results:
Contractor Overall Joint Bid Amount Village Share
Peter Baker & Son Co. $3 ,647,000.00 $859,414.70
Brothers Asphalt Paving, Inc $3 ,834,094.65 N/A
Builders Paving, LLC $3 ,975,988.00 N/A
The Engineer's Estimate for the total joint bid work was $3,959,672.50. The qualified low bid
contractor is Peter Baker & Son Co. in the amount of $3,647,000.00. Peter Baker & Son is a large
and experienced local roadway contractor and has successfully completed previous pavement
rehabilitation projects for the Village. Village staff and GHA recommend award of the contract to
Peter Baker & Son Co.
The above listed amounts represent the total contract value, which include the services being
provided to all entities within the IGA. The Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) requires
that the Village award the contract for the total amount of $3,647,000 since the Village is the Lead
Agency for the program, and because some of the parties are using Motor Fuel Tax funds.
However, in accordance with the terms of the approved IGA, the Village is only responsible for
the share of the contract that is directly attributable to its roadways ($859,414.70). There is
$946,279 allocated to pay for the Village's share in the Draft FY 2022/23 Annual Budget in the
Motor Fuel Tax Fund (Acct ^07-0000-0-738). The proposed work is anticipated to be completed
this summer.
Staff recommends approval of the attached Resolution to award the contract to Peter Baker & Son
Co. for the 2022 Joint Bid Road Rehabilitation Program in the amount of $3,647,000, subject to
the appropriation of funds in the FY 2022/23 Annual Budget.

11 - RESOLUTION NO. 22-R-45: A Resolution Approving an Amendment to a Contract
Between the Libertyville Fire Protection District and the Village of Libertyville
President Johnson noted that the Libertyville Fire Protection District has been contracting with the
Village of Liberty ville for over eighty years to provide Fire, EMS, and Special Rescue Services to
the residents of the Liberty ville Fire Protection District. The current contract, set to expire in 2026,
has been amended to include language regarding fee calculations, address capital projects and
vehicles. A summary of which is provided below.
During the 2020-2021 budget and fee calculation process, the Fire Department budget decreased
from the previous fiscal year. The existing funding formula in the contract was silent on the process
of calculating the fee for service for the next fiscal year. Through negotiation, the Liberty ville Fire
Protection District agreed to fund their fee for service at the same rate as the previous year,
preventing a reduction in revenue to the Village. To prevent this situation in the future, the Village
and Fire District agreed to modify the contract language. Section 10 to the following; "If the
Village's fire department's budget for the fiscal year increases or remains the same as the prior
year and the District's payment amount is calculated to be lower than the previous year's payment,
the District agrees to use the previous year's contract payment. If the Village's fire department's
budget for the fiscal year is reduced, the District's payment amount shall also be reduced
accordingly."
Section 10 of the existing contract, also required language to define who is responsible for funding
Station 3 capital projects. The Fire Protection District added the following language to the contract
to clarify this item: "The District shall pay for all Capital improvements to Station 3. Capital
improvements are any repair or replacement costs associated with Station 3 that exceeds five
thousand dollars ($5,000.00)."
The final change to the current contract includes a funding line item for capital vehicle
replacement. The Libertyville Fire Protection District has agreed to add the following language to
Section 10 of the contract: "The District shall pay the Village thirty-five thousand dollars ($35,000)
annually for its share of the fire department vehicle replacement fund, due June 1, 2022 and June
1 of each year thereafter. If the capital vehicle replacement fund is placed back into the Village's

fire department budget, the District will no longer be responsible to pay thirtyfive thousand dollars
($35,000) annually toward the vehicle replacement fund, instead the District shall be responsible
for its share of the vehicle replacement fund as calculated as part of its contract payment to the
Village."
Staff has reviewed the changes to the current contract for service with the Libertyville Fire
Protection District and is recommending approval of the attached Resolution to authorize the
Mayor to execute the contract with the Liberty ville Fire Protection District for an additional 10
year term to expire in March of 2032.
President Johnson asked if there were any public comments, and there were none. Trustees Adams
and Garrity offered support for the item. President Johnson clarified a few of the item's details.
Trustee Love moved to approve item 11, and Trustee Connell seconded. The motion carried on
roll call vote as follows:
