check-in with the public about the overall Lake Street plan. There was discussion of
whether this project could be done internally; staff are not available within the IDOT
schedule deadline and are generally used for more routine projects such as current
paving projects. There were questions about sharing engineering staff with other
governments, but their projects tend to be much smaller and River Forest was
concerned about liability issues. A traffic study and innovative ways to address the
non-aligned streets at Lake Street were requested for future reports.
RES 16-287 A Resolution Approving Releases in United States District Court
Case No. 14 CV 8363
Trustee Tucker asked for clarification of which case was referenced.

Village and WDF-3 Wood Oak Park Owner, LLC As Developer of the Vantage Oak
Park Project at Lake Street and Forest Avenue as Recommended by the Oak
Park Economic Development Corporation (Oak Park EDC).
Manager Pavlicek reported that this was recommended by the OPEDC; sales tax from
the restaurant will recoup this investment. The agreement will include the fiscal impact of
this project.
ORD 16-092 An Ordinance Amending the Fiscal Year 2016 Annual Budget
President Abu-Taleb noted that this is a further amendment to the budget related to
carry-over spending from 2015. He explained that Manager Pavlicek and CFO Drazner
agree that going forward there will be no carry-over but that funds not used would be
reappropriated for the following year. Members of the Contract Committee agreed with
this change.
