3. Discussion on Slade Street Improvements from Greeley Street to Plum Grove
Road
Council District: Six
Village Manager Reid Ottesen provided an update on the planned improvements
to Slade Street and described a recent group meeting with local business owners.
He noted that the owners understand the upcoming construction and are
supportive, recognizing the long-term benefits. Ottesen added that the Director of
Public Works will soon put the project out to bid.
Director of Public Works Matt Barry then outlined updates funded through the
capital improvements budget for the surrounding blocks—Greeley to the West
and Plum Grove to the East. On the west side, the work will include resurfacing,
minor parking adjustments, water main upgrades, and other design
enhancements. After further review, only a small number of parking spaces will
need to be removed. Barry also discussed changes to the parking lot, utility
requirements, pedestrian improvements, and other new features planned for the
block.
Barry went on to describe additional roadway and landscaping improvements
throughout the area. In the western section near Greeley and Bothwell, he
highlighted plans for expanded public space, revised parking, resurfacing, and
new sidewalk installation. He concluded by noting that, with the Council’s
concurrence, the project will move to the bidding phase next week, with
completion targeted by Labor Day.
Village Manager Reid Ottesen noted that he had spoken with the landscape
architect regarding landscaping plans and the selection of outdoor seating.
Councilman Kozlowski asked about the potential for additional outdoor seating if
more restaurants move into the area. Barry responded that they are open to
improvements and prefer maintaining a consistent landscape wall that
pedestrians can easily navigate. He added that, if needed to accommodate
parking or future retail or business uses, the area could be subdivided.
VILLAGE OF PALATINE Page 5 of 16
Minutes March 16, 2026
Village Manager Ottesen noted that Schnell’s owns various properties on the
street and is supportive of the planned improvements.
Councilman Helms commented on the planned upgrade improvements and asked
about the sidewalk material. Barry responded that brickwork would be the
preferred option to stamped concrete.
Councilman Falkenberg thanked staff for their work and asked about
maintenance and ownership responsibilities for the areas in front of the
businesses. Ottesen explained that a license agreement governs the use of the
space, including provisions related to liquor service.
Councilman Langer encouraged including a contract incentive to ensure the
project is completed before Labor Day.
Councilman Lamerand remarked on the use of TIF funds, the new downtown
community signage, and the progress of the Slade Street project.

C. BUSINESS FINANCE & BUDGET COMMITTEE
JOE FALKENBERG, CHAIR
1. Consider an Ordinance Authorizing the Village Manager to Execute an
Amended and Restated Solid Waste Services Agreement Between The Village
of Palatine and Groot Industries, Inc.
Village Manager Ottesen explained that the contract with Groot is set to expire at
the end of the year and reviewed the various requests for proposals. He noted
that the proposal compares favorably to those of similar communities. He outlined
a rate freeze for single-family homes and town homes of refuse collection for the
first five years of an eight-year contract, along with a one-year rate freeze for
multifamily dwellings. He added that the Village of Palatine will be able to maintain
unlimited collection and keep the current pickup schedule. Ottesen also
addressed costs and the annual toter change out details. He acknowledged the
assistance of Diane Annoreno, Hadley Skeffington-Vos, Andrew Brown, and
noted that a representative from Groot was present.
Ottesen additionally noted the establishment of a new recycling center at Public
Works for year-round drop-off of holiday lighting and plastic bags.
In addition, Ottesen reported on a new food scrap recycling and composting
program. He noted two primary vendors, WasteNot and Urban Canopy — which
are separate from Groot.
VILLAGE OF PALATINE Page 6 of 16
Minutes March 16, 2026
Ottesen explained the different types of residences in the community—such as
those in multifamily buildings or single-family homes without space for a toter—
and noted that residents also have the option to use a designated drop-off area
within the village.
Mayor Schwantz commended staff for their work on the contract pricing and
negotiations, noting that the ability to reach the entire community is essential.
Ottesen noted the three-year rate freeze for composting and explained that the
Village Council will review the contract at that point in the future. He added that
the village is a member of SWANCC, which is currently undergoing changes
regarding its participating communities and whether the village will remain
included in 2031. He suggested that, depending on future participation in
SWANCC, more cost-effective options may become available, and emphasized
the importance of planning ahead.
Jack Coneeley – 263 Boardwalk Drive, thanked the Council and asked which
compostable items are permitted in yard-waste bags. He noted that this initiative
has been in development for some time and expressed appreciation for its
availablilty as an opt-in program. He also requested an ease-of-use subscription
process and consideration of financial support. Ottesen responded by detailing
what can be placed in yard-waste bags and explained that Groot will help educate
residents about the service.
Ramesh, 1118 W. Partridge, asked whether compostable plates and utensils are
allowed in the food-scrap recycling program. Ottesen reviewed the list of
acceptable items for the compost toter and emphasized the ongoing public
education efforts for this service.
Ottesen clarified that the contract will begin on January 1 of next year, allowing
ample time for community outreach.

1. Police Department's Online Reporting and Crime Incident Viewer Presentation
Chief Nord and Commander Chris Stearns discussed the online police reporting
system and the incident map viewer. Nord emphasized these efforts as part of the
village’s commitment to transparency and community accces. He noted that
residents can submit non-emergency reports online and outlined the types of calls
that qualify. Nord also reiterated that whenever a 911 call is made, an officer will
be dispatched, and this is not a substitute.
Nord explained that the Public Incident Map Viewer System allows residents to
view general online information about police activity.
Councilman Langer asked how many surrounding communities offer this service.
Nord explained that some communities already have similar systems, while others
do not. He added that the service depends on different system integrations, and
other municipalities are working to get their own versions up and running.
Councilman Kozlowski asked about privacy on the incident map, specifically the
use of beat districts versus showing information at the block level. Nord explained
that, based on resident feedback, the police aim to present the information in a
more generalized location.
Councilman Myslinski asked about a robbery incident, for example, and
Commander Stearns explained that any information permitted for public release
will appear on the map.
Mayor Schwantz asked whether graffiti reports are forwarded to another village
department for cleanup. Stearns explained that this falls under a different category
of online reporting. He noted that Public Works may document the issue with a
photo, after which additional procedures are followed.
Councilman Langer asked whether the police blotter still exists. Stearns explained
that the new system combines traditional elements with updated, interactive
features.
Councilman Helms asked about traffic incidents and Stearns responded there is
no option for that at this point in time with this system, but the system is
customizable.
