RESOLUTION NO. 20-R-54: A Resolution Approving a Purchase and Sale
Agreement for the Transfer of Approximately 3.8 Acres of Property adjacent to the
Wilmot Woods Forest Preserve to the Lake County Forest Preserve District
President Weppler explained that the Illinois Government Property Transfer Act
authorizes the Village to convey and/or grant property, which it holds to another unit of
local government, including a Forest Preserve District. The Act allows such grant or
conveyance to be made upon such terms as may be agreed upon by the corporate
authorities of each governmental body. The Purchase and Sale Agreement provided for
the sale and transfer of approximately 38.2 acres of Property held by the Village and
adjacent to the Wilmot Woods Forest Preserve District to the Lake County Forest
Preserve District in exchange for the payment by the District of $13,900. The Forest
Preserve District approved this Agreement at its meeting earlier this month.
The conveyance of these properties is beneficial to both governmental entities and
preserves public open space. The $13,900 purchase price was to compensate the Village
of Libertyville for a pro-rated portion of the original purchase price of the property.
Staff recommended that the Village Board approve the resolution. To approve, the
affirmative vote of two-thirds of the corporate authorities holding office was required.
Consequently, five positive votes were required for approval. President Weppler asked
for questions and comments. He further noted that the property is east of the Des Plaines
River, and there is no access to the property, which is adjacent to the forest preserve.
Tmstee Johnson moved to approve the resolution approving a Purchase and Sale
agreement for the transfer of approximately 338.2 acres of property adjacent to the
Wilmot Woods Forest Preserve to the Lake County Forest Preserve District. 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, Carey, and Mayor Weppler
NAYS: None
RESOLUTION NO. 20-R-55: Consideration of a Resolution Authorizing a
Memorandum of Agreement to Extend the Village's IT Service Contract with
Prescient Solutions from June 1, 2020 through May 31, 2023
President Weppler stated that in 2017, the Village entered into an intergovernmental
agreement with the Villages of Glencoe and Gary for IT Services from Prescient
Solutions ("Prescient"). The partnership allows the Village to leverage economies of
scale to obtain a favorable price along with full-service IT resources.
The existing contract with Prescient was scheduled to expire on May 31, 2020. Under the
contract the Village has one Systems/Server Engineer onsite five days per week along
with a Helpdesk/Systems Engineer 3 days per week. The contract also included 24/7
emergency after-hours support, along with access to Prescient's professional services
team for many special projects, at no additional cost. If special projects are needed
outside of the scope of services, resources are charged on a time and material basis. The
annual cost increase is capped by the annual change in the Consumer Price Index
("CPF'). In the last several years the Village has accomplished many projects with
Prescient, some of which include: server upgrades, worked with staff to setup a GIS
server, conducted an audit of the Village's phone system, replaced Village firewalls and
upgraded user policies.
Both Glencoe and Gary are satisfied with the service-level provided by Prescient and
have already approved three-year extensions to the existing service contract. The
extensions are set to begin on June 1, 2020.
The Technology Equipment and Replacement Fund (TERF) included the required funds
for contractual IT services. Staff recommended approval of the Resolution approving the
Memorandum of Agreement with Prescient for IT services in the annual amount of
$258,825. President Weppler asked for questions and comments. Deputy Administrator
Engelmann stated that in-house personnel are also used for IT.
Trustee Garrity moved to approve the resolution authorizing a Memorandum of
Agreement to extend the Village's IT Service Contract with Prescient Solutions from
June 1, 2020 through May 31, 2023. 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:
AYES: Trustees Johnson, Moras, Justice, Adams, Garrity, and Carey
NAYS: None
RESOLUTION NO. 20-R-56: A Resolution to Approve a Contract Renewal with
Ampol Group, Inc. for On-Site
President Weppler explained that on April 23, 2019, the Village Board approved
Ordinance 19-0-36 to award a contract in the amount of $147,755 with Ampol Group,
Inc. for on-site facility maintenance at the Liberty ville Sports Complex (LSC). The
contract contained two 1-year mutually agreeable renewals where Ampol Group, Inc.
agreed to only increase their unit prices by 1.9% for each subsequent year. Contracted
on-site facility maintenance has been beneficial for the LSC in place of an in-house work
force due to the need for specialized resources for the electrical, mechanical and
plumbing systems that professional facility maintenance firms can provide. Ampol
Group, Inc. has successfully performed these services since 2018. The draft Fiscal Year
2020/21 Annual Budget provides sufficient funding in the amount of $154,500 for the
proposed on-site facility maintenance services. It was therefore proposed by Staff to
renew the contract for the first of two possible 1-year renewals. The Contract Renewal
was mutually amended by the Village and Ampol Group, Inc. to include a termination
clause and scope/fee reduction in the event that the Sports Complex remains closed for an
extended period of time.
Staff recommended adoption of the resolution to approve a contract renewal with Ampol
Group, Inc. in the amount of $150,562.35 for on-site facility maintenance services at the
Sports Complex and authorize execution by the Village Administrator. President
Weppler asked for questions and comments.
Tmstee Johnson noted the importance of the flexibility with the contract. Trustee
Johnson moved to approve the resolution to approve a contract renewal with Ampol
Group, Inc. for on-site contractual facility maintenance services at the Libertyville Sports
Complex. 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
