home, followed her parents' instructions, and waited with her sister at the designated
meeting place outside their home. Through what Amelia had learned in the Risk Watch
education program, their family had already prepared a meeting place.

and presented her with a new teddy bear and a Libertyville Fire Department sweatshirt
with her name and the fire department logo.

deployments to Southern Illinois during severe flooding this year. Fire Departments
throughout the state responded through the Mutual Aid Box Alarm System (MABAS),
and both men were deployed to the flooded areas in support of local resources. President
Weppler thanked them for their commitment and congratulated them.
Employee Recognitions
President Weppler congratulated Fireflghter/Paramedic Dave Naspinski on his 15 years
of service to the Libertyville Fire Department. President Weppler noted Naspinski's
excellence as a Car Seat Technician and CPR Instructor, and added that he is also a

2020
President Weppler explained that The Knights of Columbus submitted a request for the
annual Dog Days of Summer event on Friday, July 10, 2020 through Sunday, July 12,
2020. The Knights of Columbus requested the use of Church Street and a portion of Cook
Park beginning at 8:00 a.m. on Friday, July 10, 2020 for set up, through Sunday, July 12,
BOARD OF TRUSTEES/January 28, 2020
Page 4
2020 for cleanup. The Knights of Columbus also requested to place a banner in Cook
Park and hold a raffle drawing during the event.
A new request this year was for a 5k on Sunday, July 12, 2020, which would be sponsored
and run by Care Animal Hospital of Libertyville. However, that request was rescinded
as part of the Dog Days of Summer event.
The Knights of Columbus obtained approval from Cook Memorial Library to close
Church Street adjacent to their exit drive, and contacted St. Lawrence Church, Liberty ville
Civic Center, and Attorney Sean Weppler to make sure that there are no conflicts on the
day of the event. Village Staff will provide the fencing material so that volunteers could
set up the fence in accordance with the approved event plan.
Staff recommended Village Board approval of the resolution approving the event and the
closure of Church Street from 8:00 a.m. on Thursday, July 9, 2020 through Sunday, July
12, 2020, and authorizing the Dog Days of Summer to take place from noon to 6:00 p.m.
on Friday, July 10, 2020, 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on Saturday, July 11, 2020, and 10:00

and Lake County Health Department permits, Village of Libertyville Special Event
Agreement, a Certificate of Insurance naming the Village as an additional insured, and
arrangements for garbage and recycling services. President Weppler requested that all
microphones be turned off during the church services and asked for clarification of times
for the tank events. President Weppler then asked for questions and comments and there
were none.
Trustee Moras thanked original Dog Days sponsor Bill Kaiser for starting the event.
Trustee Johnson moved to approve the resolution to approve a Special Event - Dog Days
of Summer. Trustee Garrity seconded. President Weppler asked for further Board or
public comment and there was none. The motion carried on roll call vote as follows:
AYES: Trustees Johnson, Moras, Justice, Adams, Garrity, and Carey
NAYS: None
RESOLUTION NO. 20-R-10: A Resolution for Change Order No. 1 for the
Wastewater Treatment Plant Lagoon Dredging Project
President Weppler reported that the WWTP lagoon was last dredged in 2008 (eleven years
ago). Public Works Staff and our consultant, Strand Associates, Inc., prepared plans,
specifications and solicited competitive contractor bids to dredge the lagoon and replace
the chlorme contact zone baffles. The contract was awarded to the lowest responsive
bidder, Stewart Spreading, Inc. in the amount of $287,175 on August 27, 2019 with the
passage of Resolution 19-R-153.
BOARD OF TRUSTEES/January 28, 2020
Page 5
The contract quantity and unit price bid for sediment removal and disposal (dredging) was
1,500,000 gallons (gal) at $0.1465/gal. The actual quantity dredged was only 714,000
gal. Staff believed the prolonged 61A day excess flow event that preceded the project
significantly reduced the quantity to be dredged. In order to comply with contract
documents, the parties agreed to adjust Stewart Spreading, Inc.'s unit price for the
dredging to $0.1725/gal. This unit price was still below the second low bidder's unit price
of$0.173/gal. The reduced final contract amount will be $190,590. The contract work
also included mobilization, testing and replacing the baffle system, all of which were
completed at the contract quantities.
Staff recommended adoption of the resolution to approve contract change order no. 1 for
the Wastewater Treatment Plant Lagoon Dredging project with Stewart Spreading, Inc.,
which resulted in a $96,585 reduction in the awarded amount and authorized execution by
the Village Administrator. President Weppler asked for questions and comments.
Responding to questions, Public Works Director Paul Kendzior stated that the change
would not impact future bidding, and the change order was a fair negotiation.
Tmstee Johnson moved to approve the resolution approving Contract Change Order No.
1 for the Wastewater Treatment Plant Lagoon Dredging Project. Trustee Carey seconded.
President Weppler asked for further Board or public comment and there was none. The
motion carried on roll call vote as follows:
AYES: Trustees Johnson, Moras, Justice, Adams, Garrity, and Carey
NAYS: None
RESOLUTION NO. 20-R-ll: A Confirming Resolution to Purchase Sternberg
Streetlight Components from KSA Lighting, Inc.
President Weppler explained that the Public Works Department maintains 315 12-foot tall
and 50 24-foot tall decorative Sternberg streetlights in the downtown through an annual
contractual maintenance contract. The annual maintenance contract is comprised mostly
of labor and only minor material (bulbs, cables, etc.) costs. The Public Works Department
needs to keep a sufficient supply of poles, mast arms and bases in stock for timely repairs,
scheduled replacements and knockdowns as part of the maintenance contract. The major
funding source for the purchases of the decorative streetlight poles, mast arms and bases
is in the Project Fund. The current Annual FY Budget provides $35,000. A purchase
order for the following streetlight components was initiated:
Quantity Item Cost per Item Extended Cost
4 12-foot Aluminum Poles/Bases $3,055 $12,220
8-foot Mast Arms/Decorative Split
2 Base $6,547 $13,094
2 Clamshell Bases for 24' Poles $2,160 $4,320
Total: $29,634
BOARD OF TRUSTEES/January 28, 2020
Page 6
A confirming Resolution was necessary because this purchase was an emergency purchase
due to an accident involving multiple knockdowns. The lead-time for fabrication and
delivery of the decorative streetlight components is a minimum of 12-weeks, and a portion
of the expense will be offset by insurance reimbursements. Village Staff recommended
approval of the confirming resolution to retroactively approve the purchase with KSA
Lighting, Inc. in the amount of $29,634. President Weppler asked for questions and
comments and there were none.
Trustee Johnson moved to approve the confirming resolution to purchase Sternberg
streetlight components from KSA Lighting, Inc. Trustee Moras seconded. President
Weppler asked for further Board or public comment and there was none. The motion
carried on roll call vote as follows:
AYES: Trustees Johnson, Moras, Justice, Adams, Garrity, and Carey
NAYS: None
RESOLUTION NO. 20-R-12: A Resolution to Approve a Contract Renewal for the
Annual Contractual Lake & Pond Shoreline Plant Maintenance Work
Mayor Weppler explained that a contract was awarded to Conservation Land Stewardship,
LLC (now known as Davey Resource Group, Inc.) on May 22, 2018 with the passage of
Resolution 18-R-97 for the annual contractual Lake & Pond Shoreline Plant Maintenance
Work. The contracted work included several site visits for weed control, native seed and
plug installation, woods management, pollinator habitat enhancement, cattail treatments
and prescribed bums for lake and pond shorelines and native areas at Butler Lake, Paradise
Park and Riverside Park. The contract contained a renewal clause for two mutually
agreeable additional years.
Staff recommended renewing the contract with Davey Resource Group, Inc. for the third
of three possible years in the amount of $43,569 based upon their responsiveness and
completing the first two years of work on time and within budget. Sufficient funds for the
desired work are proposed in the Draft FY 2020/21 Annual Budget in the Park
Improvement Fund.
Staff recommended adoption of the resolution to approve the contract renewal with Davey
Resource Group, Inc. for the annual contractual Lake & Pond Shoreline Plant
Maintenance Work in the amount of $43,569, subject to the appropriation of the necessary
funds in the FY 2020/21 Village Budget, and authorize execution of the contract by the
Village Administrator. President Weppler then asked for questions and comments and
there were none.
Trustee Adams moved to approve the resolution approving a contract renewal for the
annual contractual lake and pond shoreline plant maintenance work. Trustee Garrity

NAYES: None
ACCEPTANCE OF THE 2019 ROADWAY PAVEMENT ASSESSMENT
REPORT
President Weppler noted that the Village contracted with the firm of Gewalt Hamilton
Associates to prepare a pavement condition assessment of all Village roadways and then
recommend a yearly schedule of roadways to be rehabilitated based upon a proposed
funding level between $1,000,000 to $1,250,000 annually. This funding level assumes
passage of the referendum for the local 1% sales tax and is consistent with funding levels
identified in the Capital Plan.
The Assessment included a visual inspection of the roadway pavement for each Village
street that was not rehabilitated as part of the 2012-2016 Road Bond initiative
(approximately of roadways 60% remaining). A numerical pavement condition rating
between 20-100 was given to each roadway segment based upon the observed pavement
distresses (cracking, raveling, rutting, patches, etc.). The rating system used was based
on a modified version of the PAYER Engineered Management System. A condition rating
of 100 would be identified as a brand-new street. The Assessment includes a
recommended 20-Year Road Rehabilitation program, which was based on the available
annual funding level, pavement condition and proximity to limit mobilization costs. The
Draft Assessment was discussed at the January 14, 2020 Streets Committee meeting. The
Committee recommended acceptance of the Assessment following the incorporation of
minor revisions.
The Assessment is a guide for planning and not a set schedule. It will be used to plan the
priorities for the annual improvements during the annual budget process. Village staff
recommended acceptance of the 2019 Final Roadway Pavement Assessment. President
Weppler asked for questions and comments.
President Weppler asked why some streets had not been included, and Director Kendzior
stated that the estimates are conservative, and if the Village continues to get good unit
prices, other streets can be included. Trustee Johnson stated that the assessment is only
a guide, and many factors impact what is completed. Tmstee Moras noted his concerns
with the capital plan and the life of the roads.
Trustee Johnson moved to accept the 2019 Final Pavement Assessment. Trustee Garrity
seconded. President Weppler asked for further Board or public comment and there was
none. The motion carried on roll call vote as follows:

RESOLUTION NO. 20-R-13: A Resolution Approving the 2020 Fireworks Display
with Mad Bomber President Weppler explained that Staff recommended the Village
approve a contract with Mad Bomber Fireworks Productions for the 2020 Fourth of July
Fireworks display to be held on Friday July 3, 2020. The Villages 2017, 2018 and 2019
fireworks vendor contract expired in 2019. The Village was advised in the fall of 2019
that the current vendor would not seek to renew a contract with the Village because they
would no longer be licensing staff in Illinois. The Village solicited a Request for Proposal
for a three-year agreement to provide the Village with a Fourth of July Fireworks display
on July 4th, 2020, 2021, and 2022. After the bid submittal period ended, no bids were
received from vendors. After numerous discussions with Fireworks vendors, it was
determined that Fireworks vendors were not available to provide the Village a July 4
fireworks display. Staff researched options and determined that the Village could hire a
vendor on July 3rd or 5th for the Village's Fireworks show.
Mad Bomber Fireworks Productions submitted a contract for a Fireworks display at Butler
Lake Park on July 3, 2020 in the amount or $25,000. Mad Bomber Fireworks is a licensed
and insured fireworks production company located in LaPorte, Indiana. Mad Bomber has
provided the Village fireworks shows in the past and is a very reputable company. Mad
Bomber provided the Village a contract for services and all necessary licensing and
insurance information.
Staff requested the Village Board approve the Resolution approving the Village's Fourth
of July Fireworks display to be held on July 3, 2020 with Mad Bomber Fireworks
Productions in the amount of $25,000. President Weppler asked for questions and
comments.
Tmstee Justice asked if the date change would have any impact on the car dealerships'
support. Administrator Amidei will consult with them, and President Weppler noted their
support.
Trustee Johnson moved to approve the resolution approving the 2020 Fireworks Display
wit Mad Bombers Fireworks Productions. Trustee Carey seconded. President Weppler
asked for further Board or public comment and there was none. The motion carried on roll
call vote as follows:

RESOLUTION NO. 20-R-14: A Resolution Approving a Staffing Study with Baker
Tilly
In an effort to ensure that proper staffing levels exist within departments and to evaluate
any possible efficiencies that may be gained, funds were allocated in the FY 2019-20
Budget to conduct a staffing analysis of the Public Works Department. The Recreation
and Sports Complex Department study was completed last year and it was anticipated that
studies will occur within each of the operating departments going forward in future fiscal
years.
A Request for Proposals (RFP) was published on November 21,2019 to conduct a staffing
analysis of the Public Works Department which was made available via the Village's
website. Eleven vendors obtained a copy of the RFP. On December 16,2019 six proposals
were received.
Cost
Vendor Name Location Proposal
MGT Consulting Northfield, IL $25,188
Baker Tilly St. Paul, MN $32,800
Matrix Consulting Edwardsville, IL $40,000
New Gen Strategies Brentwood, TN $50,000
Raftelis Charlotte, NC $71,325
FEA Fairfax, VA $76,350
On January 6, 2020 Staff conducted in-person interviews with MGT Consulting, Baker
Tilly, and the Matrix Consulting Group. Following the interview and review of their
proposal document, Baker Tilly was determined to have the most qualified experience to
conduct the requested staffing analysis. The Firm Director and the Senior Project Manager
each bring over 30 years of experience in local government, including careers in city
management and public works/engineering. Recent work in the State of Illinois included
a Structure and Compensation Study Review for CMAP.
The FY 2019-20 Budget includes $35,000 to conduct a staffing analysis. The cost proposal
was in the amount of $32,800 and therefore sufficient funds were available in this year's
budget. In the event additional scope is needed as part of the study staff would like to
authorize that Board approval be given for the not to exceed budgeted amount of $35,000.
Per the RFP, Baker Tilly will commence work on the staffing analysis during the week of
January 29, with an expected project completion date of April 28, 2020.
Staff recommended approval of a Resolution to authorize an agreement with Baker Tilly
for a staffing analysis in a not-to-exceed amount of $35,000, and authorized execution of
the agreement by the Village Administrator. President Weppler asked for questions and
comments.
BOARD OF TRUSTEES/January 28, 2020

Responding to questions, Administrator Amidei explained that Public Works was chosen
because of their recent restructuring. The second lowest bidder provided a work schedule
that was consistent with the budget.
Trustee Justice moved to approve the resolution approving a professional services
agreement with Baker Tilly for staffing analysis. Trustee Garrity seconded. President
Weppler asked for further Board or public comment and there was none. The motion
carried on roll call vote as follows:

ORDINANCE NO. 20-0-11: An Ordinance Approving an Amendment to the
Agreement for the Purchase or Sale of Real Property between the Village of
Libertyville, 45 Peterson LLC, and Midwest Industrial Funds, Inc. located at 1800
& 1850 N. U.S. Highway 45
President Weppler explained that due to the lack of consistent public utilization and
inadequacy of financial performance of the Village's Family Entertainment Center
miniature golf course and Golf Learning Center driving range, the Village Board adopted
resolutions 06-R-62 and 17-R-12 declaring the property as surplus and directing its sale.
The Libertyville Sports Complex building is not subject to this sale, and will be retained
by the Village as public property. The Village proceeded with a traditional sale of the
property and retained CBRE as its broker.
The Village Board adopted ordinance 18-0-29 entering into an agreement with
45Peterson, LLC to purchase the golf course and driving range properties for
approximately $5.76 million for the purpose of a build-to-suit industrial and commercial
development. Since that time 45Peterson, LLC conducted necessary due diligence and
determined it necessary to partner with Midwest Industrial Funds, Inc. (Midwest) to
complete the overall site preparation and the development of the industrial portion of the
project as a speculative endeavor. Certain adjustments were proposed to the purchase
price in order to reflect costs identified by the purchasers through their due diligence. The
resulting sale price was proposed to be amended to approximately $5.38 million. This
figure was greater than 80% of the appraised value of the property as required by State
Statute.
Due to the change in partnership and terms, it was necessary to amend the existing
purchase agreement. The Village Attorney reviewed the proposed amendment to the
purchase agreement, and it was executed by the interested buyer. Separate application for
zoning, engineering, building and other development permits was required and is
forthcoming.
BOARD OF TRUSTEES/January 28, 2020
Page 11
Staff recommended that the Village Board proceed in approving the purchase agreement.
President Weppler asked for questions and comments.
President Weppler wanted to reiterate that the price adjustments proposed reflect costs
identified by the purchasers through their due diligence. He asked for any other questions
or comments and there were none.
Trustee Johnson moved to approve the ordinance approving an amendment to the
Agreement for the Purchase and Sale for property located at 1800 and 1850 N. US
Highway 45. Trustee Carey seconded. President Weppler asked for further Board or
public comment and there were none. The motion carried on roll call vote as follows:

NAYS: None
RESOLUTION NO. 20-R-15: A Resolution to Award a Contract for the Garfield
Avenue Well Rehabilitation Project to MAG Construction
President Weppler explained that the Village maintains four emergency back-up wells in
the event that our normal water supply from the Central Lake County Joint Action Water
Agency (CLCJAWA) is disrupted. The Garfield Avenue and Greentree Parkway wells
can produce up to 750 gallons/minute (gpm). The Newberry Avenue well has a capacity
of 500 gpm. The Second Street well has a capacity of 350 gpm. The Village inspects and
operates each well once a month to ensure that they are functioning properly. During one
of these inspections it was determined that the existing line-shaft pump and motor
assembly for the Garfield Avenue well, which was installed in 1969, had seized and was
inoperable.
The Village contracted with the firm of Engineering Enterprises, Inc. (EEI) to review the
situation at the Garfield Avenue well and make a recommendation for the most cost
effective option of either trying to repair the existing line-shaft pump and motor assembly
or replace with a new submersible pumping system. EEFs recommendation was to install
a submersible system and replace the outdated electrical service and controls. EEI then
prepared plans, specifications and bidding documents for the proposed work. The project
was advertised for competitive contractor bids on November 25, 2019. Three bids were
received at the Bid Opening held on December 20, 2019 and are summarized in the table
below along with the Engineer's Estimate.
The bid included five alternates, none of which impacted the order of the bid results. Staff
and EEI recommended proceeding with bid alternate 4, which included installing a new
roof access hatch for a net additional cost of $11,184.00 after a credit was applied for
lesser base bid work. Based upon the references provided and a thorough review of their
bid package, MAG Construction is very capable of successfully completing the project.

Contractor Cost
MAG Construction $561,246.00
Boiler Construction $693,086.00
Engineer's Estimate $696,433.00
AMS Mechanical Systems $707,531.00
The FY 2019/20 has $500,000 specifically designated and available in the Utility Capital
Improvements Fund for the proposed well rehabilitation project. Another $72,430 in
funds are also available in the Utility Capital Improvements Fund due to cost savings from
actual quantities being less than anticipated for the WWTP lagoon dredging project.
Staff recommended approval of the Resolution to award a construction contract to MAG
Construction in the amount of $572,430.00 for the Garfield Avenue Well
Rehabilitation project and authorized execution of the contract by the Village
Administrator. President Weppler asked for questions and comments.
Responding to Board questions, Director Kendzior stated that he is comfortable with the
pump chosen for the project, and a second pump location could be considered if the budget
allows for additional funding.
Trustee Garrity moved to approve the resolution to award a construction contract for the
Garfield Avenue Well Rehabilitation Project to MAG Construction, and Trustee Adams
seconded. President Weppler asked for further Board or public comment and there was
none. The motion carried on roll call vote as follows:

Reports from the Finance Committee & Police and Fire Committee
President Weppler stated that on January 21, 2020, the following committees met and
provided the following recommendations that will be presented at an upcoming Village
Board meeting.
Finance Committee
The Finance Committee recommended by a vote of 3-0 to amend the Village's investment
policy to include recent State statute changes related to Corporate Bond Investments and
Sustainable Investing. This will require a Board approved change due to the investment
policy.
