Alderman Sayad, Chair
Moved by Smith, seconded by Christiansen, to recommend
to the City Council approval of the October 16, 2006 -
Warrant Register, in the total amount of $3,851,855.38,
and further recommend that Resolution R-141-06 be adopted
at appropriate time this evening. Motion declared
carried.
Alderman Sayad stated that Staff did not order a list
from the Secretary of State of Des Plaines residents that
have cars registered to the State that he requested; this
is a very important way for the City to see if there are
residents that have cars registered with the State that
did not purchase City stickers. City Manager Niemeyer
stated that the list has been ordered.
Alderman Sayad reviewed the process if a car that is
registered with the State does not have a City sticker;
people will get a ticket.
Mr. Wayne Serbin, 835 Pearson Street, addressed the
Committee of the Whole stating that it is a shame that
certain people get away with this; everyone should have
a sticker; if they are too cheap to get a sticker, they
should sell their car and walk.
Mr. Brian Burkross, 2133 Webster Lane, addressed the
Committee of the Whole congratulating the City on doing
their homework; you defined that the car has to be
registered and the definition of what a
inoperable/disabled vehicle is.
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT Alderman Becker, Chair
Alderman Becker stated that there would be a general
discussion on all aspects of this proposed TIF District
#4 and its related ordinances.
Alderman Becker stated that two (2) of the maps in the
Housing Impact Study, which is Exhibit 7 of the
Redevelopment Plan and Project, which is Exhibit D of the
proposed Ordinance M-42-06, were incorrect and were
replaced, thus amending this proposed ordinance.
Deputy Director of Community & Economic Development
Angell stated that the Joint Review Board met today and
voted 6-1 to accept this project and the recommended
proposed TIF District #4 -Five Corners.
Alderman Smith stated he does not think this is an
appropriate issue for a referendum but since there is no
urgency, we should wait until after the election.
Moved by Smith, seconded by Murphy, to recommend to the
City Council that all matters concerning the
Redevelopment Project, Plan, Area and Financing for the
proposed TIF District #4 -Five Corners (Rand Road-River
Road-Golf Road) be POSTPONED until November 20, 2006.
Alderman Brookman stated that if we move forward it would
be showing disrespect and contempt for the voters; this
is a blatant attempt to maneuver this project; it is
clear that the City Council does not want input from the
taxpayers; there is no good reason to vote on this now;
she can't support moving forward.

Alderman Sayad stated that we are not stopping people
from voting on election day; we have had many meetings
on this; our job is to make decisions; only three (3)
people in my Ward have talked to me about this.
Alderman Murphy stated that she agrees with Alderman
Smith; she, too, would like to wait until after the
election even though she does not believe that this item
belongs on a referendum; people have told her that this
area needs redevelopment; it is an eyesore; we have to
decide what is in the best interest of the City.
Upon roll call on the motion, the vote was:
AYES: 3-Murphy, Brookman, Smith
NAYS: 5-Beauvais, Christiansen, Sayad, Becker, Argus
ABSENT: 0-None
MOTION DECLARED FAILED.
Mr. Wayne Serbin, 835 Pearson Street, addressed the
Committee of the Whole stating that he doesn't know what
the rush is for; we have waited this long, we should wait
a little longer; we are having a referendum that is
costing the City money; you are wasting money by not
waiting.
Mr. Brian Burkross, 2133 Webster Lane, addressed the
Committee of the Whole stating that he agrees with the
motion to postpone this matter until after the
referendum; he thinks the Special meeting and the Joint
Review Board meeting were slaps in the face of the City;
this disrespects the voters of Des Plaines; he urges
everyone to vote on November 7, 2006.
Mr. Scott Olson, 285 Harding Avenue, addressed the
Committee of the Whole thanking Don Smith, Carla Brookman
and Laura Murphy for trying to let the residents voice
their opinion on the referendum before a vote is taken;
he feels the Special meeting was held to not allow people
to attend and their voices to be heard; you have been
working on this for 7 1/2-years and you can't wait three
(3) more weeks?; we are trying to save the City Council
from wasting money.
Ms. Marie Olson, 593 Nelson Lane, addressed the Committee
of the Whole stating that she has lived here for many
years; many things have not worked well with TIFs; you
may have known about this for 7 1/1-years, but we have
not; business owners have made our town; no one knows
what is going to go into this area; why not help the
businesses that are there now.
Ms. Trish Wojton, 1460 Rand Road, addressed the Committee
of the Whole stating that this whole experience has been
futal; not once have you offered to help us; we have
worked hard for what we have; she owns New Beginnings;
to give this to some rich development is wrong; this has
been devastating to us; we could lose our jobs.
Ed, co-owner of Geiser-Berner Plumbing Heating & Air
Conditioning, 1484 Rand Road, addressed the Committee of
the Whole stating that if this area was so blighted, the
City should have done something about it a long time ago;
he believes properties should be improved but not at the
expense of established firms; we have 22 days until the
election, why can't you wait?; our government is built
on the voters.
Mr. Pat Mauro, Mauro Sewer Construction, 1251 Redeker
Road, addressed the Committee of the Whole stating that
he is located in the TIF and he may be forced out and
lose his business; the voters can vote either for or
against this; let the people be heard; if you don't want
your taxes raised, vote against this TIF.

10/16/06
Mr. Mike Van Slambrouck, 286 Stratford Road, addressed
the Committee of the Whole stating that he is concerned
that this TIF will negatively affect his business;
developers will attempt to acquire property through the
use of eminent domain; relocating our business will be
very expensive.
Ms. Terry Nielsen, 1330 Rand Road, addressed the
Committee of the Whole stating that she is opposed to
this TIF; she hopes the City Council will wait until
after the vote; she has lived here for over 30 years;
there are 50 family businesses in this area that will be
affected by this TIF; think of the people; it is not just
the land.
Ms. Mary Rohde, 1718 Webster Lane, addressed the
Committee of the Whole thanking Don Smith, Laura Murphy
and Carla Brookman for listening to the voters; you are
elected to represent the voters; you assume the residents
of Des Plaines cannot understand the TIF; she finds that
insulting; please be responsible to the residents of Des
Plaines.
Kevin Sennes, Kevin's Des Plaines Auto Salvage, 1331 E.
Golf Road, addressed the Committee of the Whole stating
that he has been through a lot dealing with Des Plaines ;
he has given a lot of free service to people; where will
people take their cars if we have to go; he has a l ot of
employees with families; all we are trying to do is make
a living; we are doing the best we can.
Mr. John Milstead, 2515 Church Street, addressed the
Committee of the Whole stating that if he had a business ,
he would question whether to come here; don't take their
businesses and livelihood away from them.
Ms. Susie Berresheim, 723 Prairie Avenue , addressed the
Committee of the Whole stating that she was born and
raised here; she thinks this is a shame what is being
done; it is wrong; you are ruining it for everyone.
Art, who works at Geiser-Berner Plumbing Heating & Air
Conditioning, 1484 Rand Road, stated that he has lived
in this town for many years; there is not a nice view in
this town anymore; his job is on the line; he has a
family; he is concerned.
Alderman Murphy stated that she believes that it is in
the best interest of the City that this TIF be formed;
there is not evidence that taxes will be going up if
there is a TIF.
Moved by Becker, seconded by Beauvais, to concur with
Staff recommendation and recommend to the City Council

"Moved by Murphy, seconded by Sayad, to concur with
recommendation of Committee of the Whole to accept
proposal from Mannheim-Higgins Redevelopment Team, 4101
N. Harlem Avenue, Norridge, IL 60634, to redevelop a five
(5)-acre parcel located in the southern portion of TIF
District #6, 2967-3003 S. Mannheim Road; and City
Attorney be authorized to prepare necessary redevelopment
agreement for consideration at a future Committee of the
Whole meeting."
Moved by Sayad, seconded by Murphy, to adopt a substitute
motion to suspend the rules to permit public input on
this matter. Motion declared carried. Aldermen
Christiansen, Brookman and Becker voted no.
Attorney Kathleen Vyborny, representing The New Frontier
Companies, addressed the City Council stating that The
New Frontier Companies are proud to be part of the
Mannheim-Higgins Redevelopment Team; Mr. William Cellini
has no beneficial interest in the Team; Mr. Cellini has
withdrawn from any aspect of development-management-
operation of the project.
Alderman Smith stated that he finds some of the
information about Mr. Cellini troubling; he thinks the
Staff should look at what has been discussed here
tonight; the entire proposal is tainted because h i s name
is associated with it.
Alderman Beauvais asked Mr. Richard Fuller, Managi ng
Director of Development, Harlem Irving Companies, whether
the Team could function without The New Frontier
Companies. Mr. Fuller said The New Frontier Companies
are a third party; no input in this project.
