ORD 17-225 First Reading of an Ordinance Adopting a New Village of Oak Park Zoning Ordinance Village Planner Craig Failor stated that the Board was given a presentation on the ordinance at a previous meeting. For the First Reading, staff is seeking additional feedback from the Board prior to bringing it back for final approval. The Zoning Ordinance has gone through extensive vetting via various public meetings held by the Plan Commission, meetings with the public at various venues in the Village and through comments made on the Village website. A great deal of input from the community has been incorporated into the Zoning Ordinance. Village Trustee Moroney commented that he would like to see something in the ordinance addressing teardowns in order to preserve the Village's housing stock. New construction should be kept in character with the surrounding area. Side setback should be a standard five feet and a minimum width of 25 feet for new construction, as well as restricting height to no more than 25% taller than the average height of the homes on the block. He also stated that he would like to see second story additions be no larger than 65% of the original structure and relate to the first story. Accessory structure side setback should be increased to 2 1/2 feet. Coach houses should be no taller than the principal structure and should relate to the primary home. Mr. Failor and Arista Strungys of Camiros, Ltd. clarified why those items are not included in the ordinance. Much of this is related to a homeowner's rights, the creation of too many non-conforming properties, and an attempt to decrease the amount of requests for variances. Village Trustee Boutet asked for the addition of recommendations regarding the scale of properties being built in some of the smaller districts. She discussed coach houses in dense areas. She asked if there was any thought regarding moving fence lines in order for residents to get in and out of garages. Village Trustee Boutet asked that restrictions on community homes be loosened up. She discussed massage establishments and noted that a massage therapist must be licensed. The ordinance reads like the Village is licensing illegal massage parlors. She asked why greenhouses and nurseries are not allowed on Madison Street and Roosevelt Road. Ms. Strungys explained why that was originally written and noted that it could be made into a special use. She asked if second hand shops could be a special use on Roosevelt. Village Manager Pavlicek commented that there is a current agreement with Berwyn regarding Roosevelt Road and that the Village would have to have a conversation with Berwyn. There was a discussion regarding drive-throughs. She discussed compensating benefits and impact fees for Village of Oak Park Page 3 Printed on 8/8/2017 President and Board of Trustees Meeting Minutes July 17, 2017 planned developments and would like a follow up on that. Affordable housing should be included in compensating benefits and part of the ordinance. Village Trustee Tucker stated that affordable housing is not necessarily a zoning topic but will be a good conversation to have. He commented that perhaps the aggregate height of the houses is not the right calculation but maybe the location of the house on the block should be. Village Trustee Boutet commented that she would also like to keep the building height restriction at 80 feet in the entire downtown district. Village Trustee Andrews concurred with Village Trustees Moroney and Boutet. He was looking to see what solutions staff comes up with. G. ORD 17-235 First Reading of an Ordinance Approving the Village of Oak Park’s New Official Zoning Map There were no comments. XVI. Consent Agenda Village President Abu-Taleb noted that Item H on the Consent Agenda is a motion to refer a Planned Development application from Rush Oak Park Hospital regarding their new emergency room to the Plan Commission for public hearing. He acknowledged that this is a significant investment in the community and expressed appreciation to Rush Oak Park Hospital's commitment to the Village. Approval of the Consent Agenda It was moved by Village Trustee Tucker and seconded by Village Trustee Andrews to approve the items under the Consent Agenda. The motion was approved. The roll call on the vote was as follows: AYES: 5- Village President Abu-Taleb, Village Trustee Tucker, Village Trustee Moroney, Village Trustee Boutet, and Village Trustee Andrews NAYS: 0 ABSENT: 2- Village Trustee Button, and Village Trustee Taglia H.

RES 17-568 A Resolution Approving an Amendment for a Change Order for the Renewal Agreement with Edwin Hancock Engineering Co. for Design and Construction Engineering of the 2016 Alley Improvements Project for an Additional $8,216 and Authorizing its Execution Village Manager Pavlicek stated that this Item was removed from the Consent Agenda at the request of Village Trustee Boutet, as she had questions regarding whether the Village is planning on trying to recoup this cost from the Oasis developer. Village Manager Pavlicek commented that if the Board would like staff to pursue collecting that, a recommendation can be brought back to the Board after some evaluation. Village Trustee Boutet asked that staff put this through the collections process. She also asked why the Board has been seeing Items related to 2016. Director of Public Works John Wielebnicki stated that the reason they are seeing change orders from 2016 contracts is because the budget amendment from 2016 didn't happen until April. Projects that did not get completed in 2016 and their funds had to be carried over into 2017; some did include change orders. It was moved by Village Trustee Andrews, seconded by Village Trustee Boutet, that this Resolution be adopted. The motion was approved. The roll call on the vote was as follows: Village of Oak Park Page 7 Printed on 8/8/2017 President and Board of Trustees Meeting Minutes July 17, 2017 AYES: 5- Village President Abu-Taleb, Village Trustee Tucker, Village Trustee Moroney, Village Trustee Boutet, and Village Trustee Andrews NAYS: 0 ABSENT: 2- Village Trustee Button, and Village Trustee Taglia Y.

There will be approximately two miles of paving. This is year two of a five-year accelerated paving plan, which has a life expectancy of 20 years. It was moved by Village Trustee Moroney, seconded by Village Trustee Tucker, that this Resolution be adopted. The motion was approved. The roll call on the vote was as follows: AYES: 5- Village President Abu-Taleb, Village Trustee Tucker, Village Trustee Moroney, Village Trustee Boutet, and Village Trustee Andrews NAYS: 0 ABSENT: 2- Village Trustee Button, and Village Trustee Taglia Z.

IT Director Alvin Nepomuceno stated that the Village still uses PeopleSoft for parking citations and parking permits. The excess charge is related to the Oracle license agreement expansion. It was moved by Village Trustee Andrews, seconded by Village Trustee Moroney, that this Resolution be adopted. The motion was approved.

The applicant, Denise Szymczyk, spoke about the concept of her business, which will include the sale of repurposed and reclaimed items as well as new and vintage items. Proceeds will support the efforts of her feline rescue business. It was moved by Village Trustee Tucker, seconded by Village Trustee Andrews, that this Motion be approved. The motion was approved.

RES 17-570 A Resolution Approving the Second Amended and Restated Operating Agreement with the Oak Park Economic Development Corporation (Oak Park EDC) and Authorizing its Execution Village Manager Pavlicek summarized the original agreement with OPEDC. Chris Donovan. Mr. Donovan commented about the membership of the OPEDC Board and the Ethics Ordinance. Village Trustee Boutet spoke well of the OPEDC staff but expressed concern regarding the structure of the organization. The Village Board should be providing direction to the OPEDC and be getting that back from them in the end. Currently, the Village Board and the public get very little information until so much time and effort has been invested in a project that the Board feels pressured to approve it. She noted that elected officials are on the OPEDC Board but no agendas or minutes are posted. In most other communities, an agenda, an agenda packet and minutes are posted on their website. She asked that the process be changed to reflect this and also to include representatives from additional stakeholders in the community on the OPEDC Board. In addition, their funding should be consistent with the Village's budget cycle. Village Trustee Andrews agreed and would also like to see the OPEDC's financial records published, as the public is funding the organization. Having two Village Board members on the OPEDC Board is setting a dangerous precedent. It gives them more information about projects being referred to the Plan Commission than the other Board members with no mechanism in place to communicate that to the other trustees. In addition, the Village President having a vote on the OPEDC and also selecting the people who serve on the Plan Commission gives one person too much power under certain circumstances. He acknowledged that it is important to have staff or trustees included in these discussions but he suggested that they not be allowed to vote moving forward. Village Trustee Andrews would also like to see the OPEDC operate with more autonomy. The public deserves transparency. Village Trustee Moroney agreed with Village Trustee Andrews regarding more transparency and Village Board members not voting. He also encouraged the OPEDC to emphasize design standards. Village Trustee Tucker thanked OPEDC and was in favor of maintaining a new contract. He does not feel Village Board members voting on the OPEDC Board is problematic. There was further discussion regarding whether this was appropriate. Village of Oak Park Page 9 Printed on 8/8/2017 President and Board of Trustees Meeting Minutes July 17, 2017 Village Manager Pavlicek commented that the operating agreement is what's on tonight's agenda. Perhaps a discussion regarding the by-laws of OPEDC can be deferred to the August 7 meeting. Village President Abu-Taleb stated that if there is support then they will vote; if not then defer. He commented that the structure of the OPEDC has been working for the past several years. A lot of thought was put into the way it is structured. Village Trustee Boutet stated that she is not getting information regarding their meetings; perhaps others are. She would like all Board members to receive all information at the same time. She made an amendatory motion to approve the funding contingent upon amending the by-laws to remove the two government directors. There was no second. Village Trustee Andrews stated that he would like further discussion on that when the by-laws are discussed. He understands the value of one Board member on the OPEDC Board, but having two is too many. There was further discussion and consensus to discuss the by-laws at a future meeting, with the full Board present. Village Trustee Moroney was ambivalent regarding the voting issue. He acknowledged that in some cases, perception is reality and having the right perception is important. He commented that this reincarnation of the Development Corporation was about getting development out of the Board's hands and into the professionals'. It does seem counterintuitive to change it to get the Board involved again. It was moved by Village Trustee Tucker, seconded by Village Trustee Moroney, that this Resolution be adopted. The motion was approved. The roll call on the vote was as follows: AYES: 4- Village President Abu-Taleb, Village Trustee Tucker, Village Trustee Moroney, and Village Trustee Andrews NAYS: 1- Village Trustee Boutet ABSENT: 2- Village Trustee Button, and Village Trustee Taglia AC. RES 17-599 A Resolution Approving an Employee Leasing Agreement with GovTempsUSA, LLC for a Temporary Administrative Commander in the Village’s Police Department in an Amount Not to Exceed $75,000.00 and Authorizing its Execution Chief of Police Ambrose stated that the former Administrative Commander resigned several months ago and the job was posted internally with no success. Typically, the Administrative Commander prepares the budget and the position is currently being filled by a temp, who happens to be a retired police chief. This position is not a sworn position. The Village will begin to advertise publicly for a permanent replacement. Village Trustee Boutet expressed concern regarding the title of Commander, when this position is civilian. Village Manager Pavlicek clarified the reason behind the title. It was moved by Village Trustee Tucker, seconded by Village Trustee Andrews, that this Resolution be adopted. The motion was approved. The roll call on the vote was as follows: AYES: 5- Village President Abu-Taleb, Village Trustee Tucker, Village Trustee Moroney, Village Trustee Boutet, and Village Trustee Andrews NAYS: 0 Village of Oak Park Page 10 Printed on 8/8/2017 President and Board of Trustees Meeting Minutes July 17, 2017 ABSENT: 2- Village Trustee Button, and Village Trustee Taglia AD. MOT 17-203 A Motion to Accept Staff’s Recommendation to Overhire Police Officer and Firefighter/Paramedic Positions in FY17 Village Manager Pavlicek commented that this will be more of a pilot program that staff would like to try. There will be an authorized sworn strength in the Police and Fire Departments when there are known retirements or disability pensions coming up. It was moved by Village Trustee Tucker, seconded by Village Trustee Andrews, that this Motion be approved. The motion was approved. The roll call on the vote was as follows: AYES: 5- Village President Abu-Taleb, Village Trustee Tucker, Village Trustee Moroney, Village Trustee Boutet, and Village Trustee Andrews NAYS: 0 ABSENT: 2- Village Trustee Button, and Village Trustee Taglia AE. MOT 17-205 A Motion to Approve An Updated Organizational Charts for the Village Manager’s Office and Development Customer Services Department Village Manager Pavlicek stated that traditionally, this would be put through as part of the budget process. However, the prior Village Board had asked that the position of Sustainability Coordinator be put in place before the end of FY 2017. In addition, with the resignation of the Director of Parking and Mobility Services Jill Velan, she had recommended that the Parking Department become a division of Development Customer Services (DCS). Village Trustee Andrews stated that without listing the consultants and contractors that work for the Village, the organization chart looks management heavy. He asked that the Village Manager provide this. She stated that it will be provided as part of the budget documents. Village Trustee Boutet asked to see the job description of the Sustainability Coordinator before making her decision. In addition, she was uncomfortable taking the recommendation of an outgoing department head. She would just like to fill the position and leave Parking as its own department. Village Trustee Andrews agreed that Parking should be a stand-alone department. Village Manager Pavlicek stated that when the DCS Department was originally created, the Parking Department was under consideration to be included but was not at that time. There are overlapping issues between Parking and DCS, but she can understand why keeping it a stand-alone would make sense. Village Trustee Tucker commented that this an operational issue and the Board shouldn't be discussing it or making their own recommendations. It is the prerogative of the Village Manager to do as she sees fit. Village President Abu-Taleb stated that staff has done a great job of reshaping the divisions under DCS and addressing issues that have been problematic for the community for a long time. Part of that was by integrating them together under one department and he understands the concept behind adding Parking Services, as they have their own challenges. He asked the Village Manager if she can reverse this in a Village of Oak Park Page 11 Printed on 8/8/2017 President and Board of Trustees Meeting Minutes July 17, 2017 year or two, if it is not working. Village Manager Pavlicek stated that she can, although she is very comfortable with this recommendation. Director of Development Customer Services Tammie Grossman discussed how merging the two departments will be beneficial for the Village. It was moved by Village Trustee Andrews, seconded by Village Trustee Moroney, that this Motion be approved. The motion was approved. The roll call on the vote was as follows: AYES: 4- Village President Abu-Taleb, Village Trustee Tucker, Village Trustee Moroney, and Village Trustee Andrews NAYS: 1- Village Trustee Boutet ABSENT: 2- Village Trustee Button, and Village Trustee Taglia XVIII. Regular Agenda for Items Pursuant to Village Code Chapter 3 Alcoholic Liquor Dealers or Related (President Pro-Tem Taglia ) Village President Abu-Taleb recused himself from the Meeting and the following Item was presided over by President Pro Tem Tucker. AF. ORD 17-234 An Ordinance Amending Chapter 3 (“Alcoholic Liquor Dealers”), Article 8 (“List of Licenses for Each License Class”), Section 3-8-1 (“Number of Licenses to be Issued Per LIcence Class”) and Section 3-8-2 (“Licenses by Name and Address Per License”) of the Oak Park Village Code for the Issuance of a Restaurant Class D-8 Liquor License to Hospitality Services Group LLC Village Attorney Stephanides stated that the Liquor Control Review Board unanimously recommended approval of this license; the applicant has met all of the requirements. The applicant stated that their license is to provide bartending services to all Park District and Library events where alcoholic beverages are served. It was moved by Village Trustee Boutet, seconded by Village Trustee Andrews, that this Ordinance be adopted. The motion was approved.

Call to Board and Clerk Village President Abu-Taleb rejoined the Meeting. Village Clerk Scaman discussed NAMI and a film shown at the Library regarding mental health. Village Trustee Andrews wanted to confirm that these meetings are televised, and asked Village of Oak Park Page 12 Printed on 8/8/2017 President and Board of Trustees Meeting Minutes July 17, 2017 if Plan Commission meetings are televised. He believed any meetings held in Council Chambers should be televised. Village Trustee Moroney agreed. He stated that he attended an I-Gov Meeting on Saturday. He would like to address the overall tax burden and hopes to instill how damaging the levy growth is to Oak Park. Village Trustee Boutet suggested that signage be put on viaducts. She also asked that New Business be added to the agendas and that the Resolution regarding the IMRF needs to be brought back to the Board in order to add the Clerk. XX. Adjourn It was moved by Village Trustee Andrews, seconded by Village Trustee Tucker, to adjourn. A voice vote was taken and the motion was approved. Meeting adjourned at 10:13 P.M., Monday, July 17, 2017. Respectfully Submitted, MaryAnn Schoenneman Deputy Village Clerk Village of Oak Park Page 13 Printed on 8/8/2017
