Section 18-15 of the Illinois Property Tax Code requires that the City adopt a tax levy
ordinance and file it with the County Clerk's office by the last Tuesday in December,
Tuesday, December 25, 2018.
The 2018 Tax Levy is scheduled for first reading on November 19 in conjunction with
the public hearing on the Tax Levy and second reading on December 3. However, the
County Clerk's office filing deadline of December 25, 2018 remains firm and it is
imperative the City Council adopt a tax levy of some amount on or before the evening of
December 17, or the City would be prohibited from levying any property tax. The 2018
Tax Levy, which includes the general fund, police and fire pension funds, public library
fund, and bond & interest fund, totals $30,589,150. This represents an increase of
$530,506, or 1.76% from the 2017 Property Tax Extension.
Staff recommended approval of Resolution R-197-18.
Moved by Robinson, seconded by Smith, to recommend to the City Council approval
the 2018 Property Tax Levy; and further recommend that Resolution R-197-18 be
adopted at appropriate time this evening. Upon voice vote, motion declared carried.
On March 21, 2016 City Council passed Ordinance M-9-16, which provided that
elected officials would receive health care benefits that are offered to other city
employees. With the ratification of the MAP 240 contract for the Police Patrol Unit,
PPO1 and HMO2 are no longer available to any city employee effective
January 1, 2019.
Strict interpretation of the new Ordnance language would dictate that no elected
official may select PPO1 or HMO2 during this year's open enrollment period.
However, when State statute language is taken into consideration it would suggest that
newly elected officials would be prohibited from participating from PPO1 and HMO2.
All current elected officials could continue to participate until they are out of office.
Staff recommended approval of Resolution R-201-18 which clarifies that any newly
elected official that is not already seated would not be eligible for PPO1 or HMO2.
Moved by Chester, seconded by Rodd, to recommend to the City Council approval of
the termination of PPO1 and HMO2 Plans; and further recommend that Resolution
R-201-18 be adopted at appropriate time this evening. Upon voice vote, motion
declared carried.

The subject property consists of a 10 -year old, 156,750 square foot building which has
been home to Sysco Foods since 2008. This facility was constructed for Sysco which
serves as a large freezer/refrigerator building and received a Class 6b in 2003.
Specifically, Sysco provides food product services to restaurants, catering companies and
institutional organizations such as Chicago Public Schools throughout the Chicagoland
area. Currently, there are 715 full-time employees that work at this company.
Additionally, Sysco occupies the 462,000 square foot building to the east at 250 Wiebolt
Drive. However, the 6b renewal application is only for the building at 501 S Wolf Road.
If awarded the 6b renewal, the company will invest another $15,000,000 to expand the
building at 501 S Wolf Road.
Cook County Class 6b Property Tax Incentives are eligible for an additional 10 -year
extension which would allow the property to witness reduced taxes for a total of 22
years. If the extension is passed, this property will continue to be assessed at 10% for
years 11 through 20. In the 21' year of the incentive, the property will be assessed at
15%, the 22nd year, 20% and then at the end of the incentive, the assessment will go
back up to 25% of market valuation.
Staff recommended that the City Council adopt Resolution R-198-18 to support and
consent to a Class 6b renewal for 501 S. Wolf Road.
Moved by Chester, seconded by Rodd to approve the Request from Sysco Foods to
Support and Consent to the Renewal of a Class 6b Property Tax Incentive for 501 S.

The Planning and Zoning Board approved (6-0) the Tentative Plat and recommended
(6-0) that the City Council approve the Conditional Use for 1275 Lee Street, subject

Community and Economic Director McMahon reviewed a memorandum dated
October 25, 2018.
The petitioner is requesting a Sign Variation under Section 12-11-7 of the 1998
Des Plaines Zoning Code, as amended, to allow 186.6 square feet of wall signage,
instead of the maximum allowable amount of 125 square feet, in the C-3 General
Commercial District.
The applicant, Fazal Usmani, has requested a Sign Variation in order to install three
new wall signs totaling 186.6 square feet in area, when a maximum of 125 square feet
is permitted, at 1062 Lee Street. The petitioner plans to open a restaurant, Sahil Grill
& Lounge, within the existing building. The building is shaped like a triangle to fit
within the lot at the intersection of Graceland Avenue and Lee Street and has 185' of
frontage along Lee Street and 173' of frontage along Graceland Avenue.
Two wall signs are proposed for the southeast facade, facing Lee Street. The sign on
the southern end of the facade is the larger of the two and is proposed to be 14' by
6'9", for a total of 96.6 square feet. The sign on the northern end of the facade is
proposed to be 9' by 5' for a total of 45 square feet. A third wall sign is proposed for
the southern corner of the building, where Graceland Avenue and Lee Street meet.
This sign is also 9' by 5'. All signs are proposed to be LED illuminated channel letters
on raceways that will be painted to match the facade.
The three wall signs combined total 186.6 square feet in area. 125 square feet is the
maximum allowed for all wall signs combined. The previous tenant, Guiseppe's, had
wall signs in these areas that will be removed and not replaced.
The Planning and Zoning Board recommended (6-0) that the City Council approve the
Sign Variation for 1062 Lee Street, subject to conditions, as well as a condition that a
solid panel be added to the rear of the existing freestanding sign so that the internal
lights are not exposed.
Staff recommended approval of Ordinance granting a Sign Variation at 1062 Lee
Street, based on review of the information presented by the applicant and the findings
made above, as specified in Section 12-3-6(H) (Standards for Variations) of the City
of Des Plaines Zoning Ordinance, subject to the following conditions:
1) The sign cabinets on the north facade be removed and the facade repaired to match
existing.

time this evening. Upon voice vote, motion declared carried.
