A. Axpn Body Worn Cameras, Squad Car Camera Systems, Electronic Devices.
Interview 1 Systems and Integrated Drone Platform Systems ~ Axon
Enterprise, Scottsdale, Arizona - $400,075,
The Mayor and Village Board approved a Body Worn Camera (BWC) Pilot
Program with the budget that concluded on April 30. Since January 2nd, thirteen
cameras have been deployed as part of the pilot and it has been a very positive
experience. In addition, the Skokie Public Safety Commission conducted a review
of Skokie's Use of Force Polices and received numerous comments from citizens
and Public Safety commissioners that expressed their desire for Skokie Police to
possess body worn cameras. As part of the pilot program, the Police Department
began researching vendors for body worn cameras and systems.
Police Department staff conducted extensive research of five major vendors and it
was determined that Axon Systems produces and maintains the preeminent body
worn cameras platform and the most encompassing singte-vendor system for our
Police Department needs. Therefore, staff is recommending the Skokie Police
Department enter into a five-year agreement for 120 Axon AB3 Model Body Worn
Cameras with unlimited storage, 40 squad car camera systems, 50 Axon "Taser
7's", 9 Axon Interview 1 systems, and Axon Air integrated drone platform as we!l
as associated Evidence.com platform, technology, and software upgrades and
third-party cloud storage. The total annual cost for the equipment and systems is
$400,075. The Police Department has committed to utilizing $230,414 of seized,
restricted and asset forfeiture funds to offset the cost of the Axon Integrated
Systems for the first year. This purchase will fully implement a Body Worn
Camera Program. I concur with staff's recommendation and respectfully request
Mayor and Board approval to enter into a five-year agreement with Axon
Enterprise for a total annual cost of $400,075 for Axon Integrated Systems.

B. Facility Management and Programminct Agreement for North Shore Center
for the Performina Arts - VenuWorks, Ames, Iowa.
In late fall of 2021, the Village received notice that Professional Facilities
Management, the North Shore Center for Performing Arts' facility management
and programming firm since 1996, was not renewing their agreement after its
spring 2022 expiration, in January 2022, the Village Issued a request for
qualifications and Village staff determined VenuWorks was the most qualified firm
to provide facility management and programming services for the Center.
VenuWorks currentiy provides facilities management services to nearly 40 venues
across the country. I concur with staff's recommendation and respectfully request
Mayor and Board approval of a Resolution to enter into an agreement with
VenuWorks for facility management and programming services for the North
Shore Center for Performing Arts.
C, Oakton Multi-Use Path Local Public Agency Agreement for Joint Funding.
Earlier this year, The Villages of Skokie, Morton Grove and Miles entered into an
Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) to govern the construction of a multi-use path
along the south side of Oakton Street between Gross Point Road and Caldwell
Avenue. The construction contract wil! be administered by the Illinois Department
of Transportation (IDOT) and as such requires a Joint Funding Agreement for
State-Let Construction Work. Per the IGA, the Village of Skokie is to enter into
said agreement with IDOT. I concur with staff's recommendation and respectfully
request Mayor and Board approval of a Resolution authorizing execution of the
Joint Funding Agreement for State-Let Construction Work with IDOT.

FROM:
Brian B
in^Prendi, Finance Director
DATE: May 12,2022
SUBJECT: Agenda Item - Axon Body Worn Cameras, Squad Car Camera
Systems, Electronic Control Devices, Interview 1 Systems and
Integrated Drone Platform Systems
Background:
The Mayor and Board approved a body worn cameras (BWC) pilot program for the fiscal
year that ended on April 30, 2022. From October 2020 through July 2021, the Village of
Skokie Public Safety Commission conducted its public review of the Police Department's
Use of Force Policies. During this time, numerous comments were received from
citizens, and individuals on the commission, that expressed their desire for the Skokie
Police to possess body worn cameras (BWC). Concurrently with the Village's efforts,
the Safety, Accountability, Fairness and Equity-Today Act (SAFE-T Act) was signed into
law which required the Skokie Police Department to deploy body worn cameras by
January 1st, 2024. As a result, the Police Department began researching vendors for body
worn cameras.
As law enforcement technology has progressed over the past decade, the Police
Department has added equipment, software and systems which have greatly increased its
capabilities in numerous areas of responsibility. In the interest of both transparency and
Officer safety, camera systems have been introduced into Department vehicles and the
detention facility and are utilized to capture digital evidence. The Department has also
migrated to electronic reporting in the field in order to streamline the process. These are
but a few areas in which these positive changes have been implemented. While these
changes have brought progress and created additional capabilities, they have nevertheless
been accompanied by challenges and have generated new inefficiencies. Specifically,
most of these systems are stand-alone technologies with proprietary software supported
by a myriad of vendors. They are not and cannot be integrated or may only be integrated
at great expense. Because these systems do not communicate with each other, significant
inefficiencies are created in data entry, information and video retrieval, subpoena and
expungement processing and the like, resulting in substantial time demands on an already
burdened staff.
597698
In recent years, vendors have made considerable progress in their efforts to remedy this
serious, universal law enforcement issue. Indeed, they have developed comprehensive
products and technologies which seamlessly address the various functions performed by
law enforcement with a single operating system. With these products, efficiencies may
be improved dramatically. Given these advancements, Police Department staff has
diligently conducted research to attempt to identify the single best and most experienced
vendor capable of meeting Department needs for all required systems, including body
worn cameras. Extensive discussion, inquiries and research of five major vendors was
performed over many months, and it was concluded that Axon Systems produces and
maintains the preeminent body worn camera platform and the best, most encompassing
single-vendor system for Skokie PD's needs.
The Police Department's In-Car Video Cameras and Investigations Video Management
System were already scheduled for replacement in FY23, and the Department has an
existing contract with Axon for Electronic Control Devices (Tasers). By integrating
these key technologies with the new body worn cameras in a single Axon platform,
significant efficiencies and capabilities will be achieved and staff time will be preserved.
Recommendation:
Staff is recommending that Skokie PD enters into a five-year agreement for 120 Axon
AB3 Model Body Worn Cameras with unlimited storage, 40 "Fleet 3 Squad car camera
systems with ALPR technology and unlimited storage, 50 Axon "Taser 7s, 9 Axon
Interview 1 systems, and Axon Air integrated drone platform as well as associated
Evidence.Corn platform, technology, and software upgrades and third-party cloud
storage. The total annual cost for the equipment and systems is $400,075.
Comments:
Purchasing these items together results in significant savings as a result of bundled
pricing. Purchasing the systems simultaneously also creates substantial administrative
efficiencies over the current propriety stand-alone systems. The transition to systems all
using the Evidence.corn cloud platform and advanced software features will reduce the
burden on police records staff, officers, detectives, prosecutors and FOIA compliance
during a time when police transparency is vital to garnering public trust.
The Police Department has committed to utilizing $230,414 of seized, restricted and asset
forfeiture funds to offset the costs of Project Code 65, Axon Integrated Systems. In
FY24, FY25, FY26, and FY27, the Police Department will contribute an additional
$50,000.00 per year out of various qualifying seizure and asset forfeiture funds.

Date: May 6, 2022
Subject: AGENDA ITEM
May 16,2022 - Village of Skokie Board Meeting
Oakton MuIti-Use Path
a.) Execution of Local Public Agency Agreement for Joint Funding
The Village of Skokie has been working with the Villages of Morton Grove and Niles to complete a
multi-use path along the south side ofOakton between Gross Point Road and Caldwell Avenue. Earlier
this year. The Villages entered into an IGA to govern the construction. The path will be constructed in
phases across multiple construction contracts. The total construction cost is currently estimated at just
over 4.1 million dollars. The Villages have secured almost 3.3 million dollars in funding via local and
Federal grants through the Invest in Cook and Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality(CMAQ)
Improvement programs. This leaves around $ 815,000 as the 'local match' to be borne by the Villages
ofSkokie, Morton Grove and Niles to complete the construction. The proposed IGA governs the terms
of the forthcoming construction and, among other things, lays out that any costs shall be divided up
equally among the three Villages. The construction contract will be administered by the Illinois
Department of Transportation(IDOT) and as such requires a Joint Funding Agreement for State-Let
Construction Work. Per the IGA, the Village ofSkokie Is to enter into said agreement with IDOT.
As a result, I recommend that the Village execute the prepared Resolution authorizing execution of the
Joint Funding Agreement for State-Let Construction Work with IDOT. The required Resolution has
been prepared by Corporation Counsel. Please present this recommendation for approval to the Mayor
and Board of Trustees at the May 16, 2022 regularly scheduled meeting.
Please contact me if there are any questions.

STAFF REPORT 2021-31P: Zoning Chapter Amendment
Community Development Department Council Chambers, 7:30 PM, April 7, 2022
To: Paul Luke, Chairman, Skokie Plan Commission
From: Matt Brandmeyer, AICP, Community Development Director
Case: 2021-31P: Zoning Chapter Amendment: General Zoning Ordinance Update
General Information
Petitioner Village of Skokie
Purpose The Village of Skokie is requesting an amendment to Section 118 of
the Skokie Village Code to make changes to the Zoning Ordinance to
the B4 Shopping District, the addition of Solar Requirements, and other
updates and corrections.
STAFF REVIEW
Staff proposes the following updates to the zoning ordinance:
1. Public hearings – staff proposes to remove the requirement for public hearings to be
held for parking determinations and subdivision plats. There is no specific statutory
requirement to hold hearings for these items, and they can be reviewed as regular
business.
Since subdivision plat reviews are largely a ministerial process where the Village is
obligated to approve a plat that meets minimum requirements, staff is concerned a
formal public hearing raises expectations by the public that a plat can be denied even if
it meets minimum requirements. We experienced this a few months ago with the
review of a plat on Wood Drive because it had ties to the Carvana proposal.
2. OR district site plan approval – staff proposes to add the OR district to the site plan
approval section. As per the OR district regulations a site plan review is required in the
OR district. However, the site plan section omits review for industrial zoning districts
including OR. Staff proposes this change in order to avoid confusion for future OR
district proposals.
3. Window trim lighting – staff proposes a prohibition on window trim lighting. Staff has
received complaints that window trim lighting is unsightly and disharmonious with
nearby businesses and commercial street frontage.
4. Solar energy systems – staff proposes to include specific language for solar energy
systems or solar panels in coordination with SolSmart. The code doesn’t address solar
panels. We have approved them as accessory structures. By adding the language to
the code, we are explicitly allowing their review and approval. The ordinance language
VOSDOCS‐#596793‐v1‐Staff_Report_for_2021‐31P_Zoning_Chapter_Amendment_‐_General_Update
employs language provided by SolSmart and uses language from our Wind Energy
System requirements.
5. B4 Shopping District – staff proposes to add a mixed-use building option to the B4
district. The change is in anticipation of a mixed-use development proposal at Touhy &
Linder. Old Orchard Mall and Village Crossing, which are the only B4 areas in the
Village, have expressed interest in adding mixed-use development to their campuses.
Mixed-use is a trend seen in large shopping areas across the country and may play a key
role in their continued vitality.
The proposed language uses existing B4 district language and components of the Mixed-
use district requirements. This included adding multifamily as a restricted use in the
district. The proposed development includes a potential cannabis dispensary. The
Touhy/Linder area is one of two areas where a dispensary can be located with the other
being the existing Curaleaf site. Staff has added this as a permitted use in the district.
6. Collective use of parking – staff proposes to allow parking to be shared between
commercial and residential uses within a mixed-use building outside the mixed-use
districts. The rationale is businesses can use residential parking when it isn’t being used
since the peak times are different. Staff proposes to allow up to 20% of required
residential parking to be shared.

Case Description:
2021-31P – Zoning Chapter Amendment: General Zoning Ordinance Update
The Village of Skokie is requesting an amendment to Section 118 of the Skokie Village Code to
make changes to the Zoning Ordinance, including revisions to the B4 Regional Shopping
District, the addition of Solar Requirements, and other updates and corrections.
Discussion and Interested Parties
Legal notice was advertised, as prescribed by the Zoning Chapter. Corporation Counsel
determined that notice was proper and correct.
Staff requested the report be entered into the record as written. New updates to several
sections of the Zoning Ordinance are being proposed. Among those updates and changes are:
- removing the requirement of public hearing for parking determinations and subdivision
requests. These processes can be handled as regular business.
- adding the OR district to the site plan approval section; currently industrial districts are
not reviewed.
- prohibiting window trim lighting other than architectural features due to complaints of
unsightliness and disharmony with nearby businesses and the commercial street
frontage.
- include specific language regarding solar energy systems and panels to allow them as
permitted accessory uses. Language to be provided by SolSmart, an industry neutral
company, using language from the Wind Energy Systems requirements.
- adding a mixed-use component to the regional shopping districts; changing them to RX
(regional mixed-use shopping districts) instead of B4. Both regional shopping areas have
expressed interest in adding a mixed-use development to their campuses.
- changing the location restrictions of a cannabis dispensary to include within 750 feet of
Police Headquarters.
- sharing of 20% parking spaces between commercial & residential uses within a mixed-
use building if their peak times are different.
Staff gave a preview of a mixed-use development that is being considered near the industrial
area at Touhy & Linder with first floor commercial (where a 2nd cannabis dispensary could be
locating) and apartments above.
A commissioner commented that language is needed to protect the commercial balance within a

597096- April 7, 2022 Plan Commission meeting minutes –Zoning Chapter Amendment
The chairman agreed that Skokie is known for Old Orchard now, but the future is unknown and
if language is there protecting the commercial balance, then developers must go through an
approval process by the Village before changing that balance.
Recommendations and Voting
A motion was made to approve, as amended, the request for an amendment to Section 118 of
the Skokie Village Code to make changes to the Zoning Ordinance including revisions to the B4
districts, the addition of Solar Requirements, and other updates. It was recommended that the
Village adopt language that would establish the relationship between the commercially zone
space with the addition of a residential component.
