Report of the Zoning Board of Appeals-ZBA 21-10, Variation for Side Yard Setback,
Charles and Judith Zemeske, Applicant, 234 Florence Ct.
President Johnson noted at the May 10, 2021, Zoning Board of Appeals meeting, a request was
heard for a side yard setback for a detached garage. The property owners had received a building
permit based on a 1992 plat of survey for a Code-conforming garage. However, when the
applicants commissioned a spot survey to document the location of the poured concrete slab, it
was found that the initial survey misrepresented the east property line. The owners initially
applied for a five (5) foot setback for the garage, while the spot survey showed the setback as 3.70
feet.
Members of the Zoning Board of Appeals concurred with the request as the permit was based on a
licensed survey with no fault of the owner. A motion to recommend Village Board of Trustees
approval passed with a vote of 6 - 0.
Trustees Adams offered support for the item. President Johnson asked if there were any
objections, and there were none. President Johnson asked staff questions about the item.

RESOLUTION NO. 21-R-82: A Resolution to Award a Contract to Best Quality Cleaning,
LLC for Contractual Custodial Services
President Johnson noted the Village contracts custodial services for most Village buildings. The
current custodial service contract expires on June 30, 2021. Staff was contacted by the Village of
Mundelein to participate in a joint bid for custodial services. The Village ofMundelein published
a Request for Proposal on March 3, 2021 and opened bids on March 25, 2021. A total of eight
bids were received and the Village's total costs (not including the Sports Complex) along with a
5% contingency are summarized below:
Atalaina US Midwest, LLC. has declined the custodial services work due to the Sports Complex
being removed from the contract. Crystal Maintenance Plus, Corp. was the next apparent low
bidder. After completing reference checks, it was noted that Crystal Maintenance had some past
performance issues and was determined to not be suitable for Liberty ville and Mundelein's
custodial services requirements. The most advantageous and responsive bidder was therefore
Best Quality Cleaning, LLC. Mundelein and Libertyville checked numerous references for Best
Quality Cleaning, which included the County of Lake, the Village of Crystal Lake and the
Northbrook Public Library. All references were satisfactory. Mundelein and Libertyville have
determined that Best Quality Cleaning, LLC met both Village's custodial services requirements.
The Fiscal Year 2021/22 Annual Budget provides sufficient funds in various accounts for the
custodial services. The contract for Fiscal Year 21/22 will start on July 1, 2021 and will end
April 30, 2022. The proposed contract amount will be for $88,462.50, which does not include the
Sports Complex, but does include a 5% contingency. The contingency is for extra cleanings for
windows, carpets, floors and day porter services outside of the contract scope that are deemed
necessary by staff throughout the year. The contract with Best Quality Cleaning, LLC also
includes 2 one-year contract renewals with no price increases. 209
Staff recommends approval of the attached resolution to award the contract to Best Quality
Cleaning, LLC. for the contractual custodial services to in the amount not to exceed $88,462.50
and authorize execution by the Village Administrator.
President Johnson asked if there were any public comments, and there were none. President
Johnson asked staff questions about the item. President Johnson asked if there were any Board
comments and several Trustees spoke in favor of the award of contract. Tmstee Hickey thanked
the staff for their work on the item.
Trustee Garrity moved to approve Resolution to Award a Contract, and Trustee Connell
seconded. The motion carried on roll call vote as follows:

ORDINANCE NO. 21-0-40: An Ordinance to Waive Competitive Bidding and Accept the
Quote from Chemtrade Logistics to Purchase Hyper+Ion for Phosphorus Removal at the
Wastewater Treatment Plant
President Johnson noted over the course of the past year, the Village's Wastewater Treatment
Plant staff has tested different phosphorus reducing chemicals in order to meet the Illinois
Environmental Protection Agency's (IEPA) new mandate that the Phosphorus level in the treated
effluent does not exceed 1.0 mg/1. The most cost-effective product, which was based on both cost
and the lowest sludge producer was Hyper+Ion 1997. Chemtrade Logistics is the sole producer
of the proprietary Hyper+Ion 1997 product and this is the reason to request waiving bids.
The quote submitted by Chemtrade Logistics is for $0.144 per pound. The Hyper+Ion 1997
product will be delivered in shipments of 48,000 Ibs. The Village anticipates the need for 10
shipments, which will equate to 480,000 Ibs and a total cost of $69,120. There are sufficient
funds ($85,500) in the Fiscal Year 2021/22 Annual Budget (Account ^20-2022-5-707) for this
expenditure.
Staff recommends approval of the attached Ordinance to waive the formal competitive bidding
process and accept the quote from Chemtrade Logistics for the purchase of up to $480,000 Ibs of
Hyper+Ion 1997 at a total not-to-exceed cost of $69,120. A super-majority vote is required to
waive formal competitive bidding, and therefore five positive votes are required for approval.
President Johnson asked if there were any public comments, and there were none. Several
Trustees offered supportive comments about the item. Trustee Garrity identified a minor typo in
the Ordinance text.
Trustee Love moved to approve the Ordinance, and Trustee Adams seconded. The motion
carried on roll call vote as follows:
AYES: Trustees Adams, Garrity, Hickey, Krummick, Love, and Connell
NAYS: None
RESOLUTION NO. 21-R-83: A Resolution to Purchase a Replacement Public Works
Department Water Van from Transchicago Truck Group of Elmhurst, IL

Services Vehicle Replacement Fund (Account #30-0000-6-782) for the purchase of a
BOARD OF
TRUSTEES/May 25, 2021 5
replacement Public Works Water Van. The Water Van is used by the Utilities Division for
watermain, water valve and water service line repairs. The current Water Van is a 2001 GMC
Chevy, which is now twenty years old and at the end of its useful service life. The proposed
replacement vehicle will be a 2021 Freightliner Route Start Walk-In. The Village participates in
the Sourcewell Joint Purchase Program. By participating in joint purchasing programs, the
Village is able to maximize cost savings. Transchicago Truck Group ofElmhurst, IL provided
the lowest price of $97,148 for the replacement vehicle. The local dealer, Napleton Ford, no
longer supplies government pricing on vehicles and does not have a commercial sales staff at the
Libertyville location. The outfitting for the new vehicle will be completed next fiscal year.
Staff recommends adoption of the attached Resolution to approve the purchase of the 2021
Freightliner Route Star Walk-In replacement water van from Transchicago Truck Group of
Elmhurst, IL in the amount of $97,148 and authorize the execution of the purchase by the Village
Administrator.
President Johnson noted that staff always try to purchase local when feasible. President Johnson
asked if there were any public comments and there were none. Several Tmstees offered support,
comments, and questions for staff.
Trustee Love moved to approve the Resolution to Purchase the vehicle, and Trustee Connell
seconded. The motion carried on roll call vote as follows:

NAYS: None
ORDINANCE NO. 21-0-41: An Ordinance Repealing Ordinance No. 21-0-34 and
Waiving the Formal Bidding Requirements of the Village's Purchasing Manual and
Approving a Contract with JS Communications Technologies, LLC. for Replacement of an
Outdoor Warning Siren
President Johnson noted on May 11, 2021, the Board of Trustees approved Ordinance No. 21-0-
34 waiving bidding and awarding a contract for replacement of an outdoor warning siren located
at Golf and Butterfleld Rd. Upon further review, the approved Ordinance did not reflect the
correct dollar amount for the total cost of the contract. The approved Ordinance authorized an
expenditure in the amount of $33,998.49, however the correct total contract amount is
$35,793.49 (includes the siren, installation, and removal of the existing siren). The attached
Ordinance repeals Ordinance No. 21- 0-34 and waives formal bidding and awards a contract for
the replacement of the outdoor warning siren in the amount of $35,793.49. Staff recommends
approving the attached Ordinance and authorizing the execution of the purchase by the Village
Administrator.

ORDINANCE NO. 21-0-42: An Ordinance Authorizing a Second Amendment and
Ratifying a First Amendment to a Purchase and Sale Agreement with the Lake County
Forest Preserve District
President Johnson noted at the April 28, 2020 Village Board meeting, the Village Board
approved a request from the Lake County Forest Preserve District to purchase Village property
in Adler Park on the east side of the Des Plaines river in the amount of $13,900.
During the due diligence/feasibility period for the purchase, the Lake County Forest Preserve
discovered encroachment onto the property from property owners located in unincorporated
Lake County on the eastern property lines. As a result, they have been working on a solution for
this issue prior to completing the purchase.
This resulted in a second amendment request to the original purchase agreement. This
amendment provides an extension of 90 days from the date of approval for the completion of the
feasibility period and 120 days to close on the sale of the property.
Staff recommends approval of the extension and related ordinance.
