WATER RATE Assistant City Manager/Director of Finance Wisniewski reported the City has
INCREASE: received notice from both the City of Chicago and Northwest Water
Commission that rates will increase in 2017. The City of Chicago rate has been
amended to increase annually on June 1St based on the Consumer Price Index
(CPI) of the prior calendar year. Effective June 1, 2017 this increase is 1.83%
or an increase from $2.852 per 100 cubic feet to $2.904. The Northwest Water
Commission rate increased 2.2% on May 1, 2017 from $1.332 per 100 cubic
feet to $1.361.
As of December 31, 2016 the balance of the Water/Sewer Fund is a negative
$5.0 million. Due to the aging infrastructure and limited rate increases, the
Water/Sewer Fund expenditures continue to outpace revenues at a higher rate
annually. It will take approximately 4-5 years to have a zero balance in the
fund.
If no action is taken by the Council, the City of Chicago increase will be passed
on per the City's ordinance. This equates to an average charge of $0.81 per bill
on a household of four who uses 15 units of consumption or $0.405 per month.
If the cost is not passed on the cost to the City is approximately $100,000.
Staff answered questions from the Aldermen.
Two residents spoke in support of the increase being passed on to the residents.
Resident Brian Burkross questioned the safeguards in place to mandate the
water rates. Director of Public Works and Engineering responded State law
governs water rates to Water Commissions.
Alderman Sayad moved, seconded by Brookman to not pass the increase to the
residents. By show of hands, the vote was:
AYES: 3-Sayad, Brookman, Chester
NAYS: 4 -Robinson, Rodd, Smith, Charewicz
Motion failed.
LEGAL & LICENSING — Alderman Brookman, Chair
COOK COUNTY/ Alderman Brookman explained in October 2016, Cook County adopted two
SICK LEAVE/ ordinances that require employers in Cook County to provide a minimum
M-11-17: number of paid sick days and to provide an increase to the minimum wage.
Summary of Sick Leave Ordinance:
•Applies to employers of all sizes and to any employee who has worked at least
80 hours within any 120 -day period for the same employer.
•Covers private sector workers who, in any particular two-week period,
perform at least two hours of work for an employer while physically present
within the geographic boundaries of Cook County.
•Allows employees to care 1 hour of paid sick leave for every 40 hours worked
and accrue a maximum of 40 hours (or 5 days) of paid sick leave per year.
(Cont.)
Page 8 of 14 6/05/17
•Employees can use paid sick leave for their own illness, injuries, or medical
care and for that of certain covered family members; or a family member who
is a victim of domestic violence or a sex offense; or if their place of business
or the child care facilities or school of their child has been closed by an order
of a public official due to a public health emergency.
Motion by Charewicz, seconded by Brookman to recommend to the City
Council at the appropriate time this evening to defer Ordinance M-11-17 until
the June 19, 2017 City Council Meeting. By show of hands, the vote was:
AYES: 4 -Robinson, Rodd, Brookman, Charewicz
NAYS: 3-Sayad, Chester, Smith
ABSENT: 1-Lysakowski
Motion carried.
COOK COUNTY/ Alderman Brookman explained in October 2016, Cook County adopted two
MINIMUM WAGE/ ordinances that require employers in Cook County to provide a minimum
M-12-17: number of paid sick days and to provide an increase to the minimum wage.
Summary of Minimum Wage Ordinance:
• Applies to employers of all sizes and covers private sector workers who, in
any particular two week period, perform at least two hours of work for an
employer while physically present within the geographic boundaries of Cook
County.
• Beginning on July 1, 2017, the minimum hourly wage will be $10 per hour.
= Beginning on July 1, 2018, the minimum hourly wage will be $11 per hour.
• Beginning on July 1, 2019, the minimum hourly wage will be $12 per hour.
• Beginning on July 1, 2020, the minimum hourly wage will be $13 per hour.
• Beginning on July 1, 2021, and on every July 1st thereafter, the minimum
wage will increase by the CPI or 2.5%, whichever is less.
Alderman Brookman opposes Cook County dictating a law that local
government should enact that creates a never ending contract. It should not be
the role of County government to determine the wages businesses are to pay
their employees.
Alderman Brookman believes by not opting out of this ordinance Des Plaines
businesses will be at a disadvantage since 41 other communities, including
those surrounding Des Plaines have already opted out.
Honorable Sean Morrison of the Office of the State's Attorney legal conclusion
is that Cook County lacks the home rule authority to enact a Minimum Wage
Ordinance.
Earlier this year, the Illinois legislation passed a minimum wage bill of $15 an
hour, but that bill has not been signed.
Resident Jack Stenholt read a letter on behalf of Congresswomen
Jan Schakowsky urging the Council not to opt out of the two County
ordinances.

(Cont.) Representatives of the People's Lobby and numerous other individuals spoke
urging the Council not to opt out.
AMENDMENT TO
FINAL PUD/
2550 E DEMPSTER
STREET/Z-14-17:
Mr. Dave Zardzin, owner of the Dairy Queen expressed that by allowing the
minimum wage to take effect it will force him to increase his prices and
possibly result in eliminating jobs especially since the location of his business
is across the street from Mount Prospect.
Ms. Andrea Biwer, Executive Director of the Des Plaines Chamber of
Commerce spoke on behalf of more than 600 business members of the Des
Plaines Chamber of Commerce & Industry urging the City Council to opt out
of both the Minimum Wage and Paid Sick Leave mandate.
Resident Brian Burkross, a Chicago business owner urged the City Council to
opt out and approve the presented ordinances.
Motioned by Charewicz, seconded by Brookman to recommend to the City
Council approval of Opting Out of the Minimum Wage Ordinance and adopt
Ordinance M-12-17 at the appropriate time this evening. By show of hands, the
vote was:
AYES: 3 -Rodd, Brookman, Charewicz

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT — Alderman Sayad, Chair
This item was deferred from May 15, 2017.
Mr. Mark Lurvey of Lurvey Landscape Supply & Garden Center filed an
application requesting an amendment to a previously approved Final Planned
Unit Development at 2550 E Dempster Street to pen -nit the removal of a
planned office building and an increase in a proposed 6,225 square foot
greenhouse by 7,885, for a total of 14,110 square feet, in the C-3 General
Commercial District; although the building was already demolished without
Council approval.
Economic Development Director McMahon explained that the building permit
to demolish the building was an oversite by staff and issued in error.
Alderman Sayad explained the reason this item was deferred from
May 15, 2017 was to obtain recommendations as to how to prevent an error
like this from occurring in the future.
Director McMahon met with staff and instituted a policy change which now
includes that all demolitions will go to Zoning or the Senior Planner. A staff
member will review the history of the site and determine that there is not a PUD
or other types of issues that would hinder the building from being removed.

Director of Community and Economic Development McMahon reviewed his
memo of May 25, 2017. Petitioner Peter Nelson is requesting a Preliminary
Planned Unit Development (PUD) and Tentative Plat of Subdivision in order
to construct a Fairfield Inn and & Suites hotel at 1450 E. Touhy Avenue in the
C-3 General Commercial District. The site at present is approximately 5.81
acres and has a 246 -unit Radisson Hotel and 5,500 square foot LongHorn
Steakhouse restaurant, both of which will remain. The petitioner proposes to
subdivide the northern portion of the site, approximately 1.64 acres, in order to
construct a 136 -room, 5 -story hotel.
The major variation that is being requested is the number of parking spaces.
Per the Zoning Ordinance the required number of spaces is 461 and after
construction there will be 334 parking spaces.
Director McMahon presented a Site Layout/Proposed Plat of PUD and
answered questions from the Aldermen.
Staff recommends the approval of the Preliminary PUD and Tentative Plat of
Subdivision subject to conditions.
Petitioner Peter Nelson answered questions from Aldermen regarding parking
plans and lease agreement to secure parking for overflow if needed.
Alderman Brookman requested that Staff work with Petitioner Nelson to
explore the possibility of installing windows to the front facade.
Moved by Brookman, seconded by Robinson, to recommend to the City
Council approval of the Preliminary PUD and Tentative Plat of Subdivision for
1450 E. Touhy at the appropriate time this evening. Motion declared carried
Director of Community and Economic Development McMahon reviewed his
memo of May 24, 2017. Mr. Bernard Tameling filed an application requesting
a Map Amendment from the I-1 Institutional District to the M-2 General
Manufacturing District for 1200 E Golf Rd. The applicant requested that the
property be rezoned to M-2 with Planned Unit Development approval to render
the existing nonconforming setbacks conforming, and to permit auto repair,
auto body repair, commercial truck parking, contractor storage yards, machine
shops, and welding shops as permitted uses on site.
At the May 15, 2017 City Council meeting Staff was directed to draft an
Ordinance rezoning 1200 E Golf Road from I-1 to M-2, and to approve the
requested PUD exceptions and allow auto repair, machine shops and
contractor's yards.
