1/7/08
Director of Public Works Dusckett reviewed his memo of
December 26, 2007 regarding Change Order #1 for the roof
replacement at the Police Station; this matter was
referred back to Staff for further review on December 3,
2007 and then postponed by the City Council on December
17, 2007; Staff compiled a list of questions raised by
some members of the City Council; they were presented to
Singles Roof Company, through their attorney, and were
answered through a series of e-mails.
Director Dusckett stated that Staff is satisfied with
Singles Roofing Company's response to the questions and
concerns, and recommends that the change order be
approved.
Alderman Moylan stated that he was originally opposed to
this change order; he would like to see stronger
language in the bid specifications, i.e. bidder
qualifications, procedures, so this won't happen again.
Alderman Walsten stated that he would have liked to have
attended that meeting on December 21, 2007, so he would
have more information on the exact problem; he has
experience in this field.
Moved by Murphy, seconded by Argus, to concur with Staff
recommendation and recommend to the City Council to
approve Change Order #1 to contract with Singles Roofing
Company, Inc., 345 S. Willard Avenue, Elgin, IL 60121,
for Roof Replacement at Des Plaines Police Station
(approved by the City Council on November 5, 2007 in the

the amount of $15,484/Building Replacement Budget; for
a new contract amount of $52, 999. Motion declared
carried. Alderman Walsten voted no.
PUBLIC SAFETY -Alderman Beauvais, Chair
Alderman Beauvais stated that this matter is being
presented this evening to see if the City Council would
like to move forward with this; if the City does not do
this, the State and County would and they would get the
revenue; no final action is required this evening; the
Public Safety Committee met on this matter and is
recommending that the City move forward.
Police Chief Prandini introduced Michael T. Lebert,
Sales Consultant, RedSpeed Illinois, 400 Eisenhower Lane
North, Lombard, IL 60148, who gave a PowerPoint
presentation.
Mr. Lebert stated that in May of 2006, the State of
passed legislation authorizing the use of automated red
light enforcement technology; the technology allows
municipalities outside the City of Chicago to use
photographic equipment for enforcement of traffic signal
violations in an effort to reduce accidents.
Mr. Lebert gave a PowerPoint presentation and answered
questions from the aldermen.
Police Chief Prandini stated that if and when the City
Council approves this program, the following steps must
be taken for implementation:
--adopt an ordinance permitting the use of automated red
light enforcement;
--amend Administrative Hearing Ordinance to include
adjudication of automated red light violations;
--choose vendor; and
--work with vendor to obtain IDOT permits and other rf\
needs. ~\· ·

Police Chief Prandini stated that traffic safety and the
reduction of accidents resulting in injury or death is
the goal of this initiative; we need to get a jump on
this; Staff is recommending pursing this program as a
means to keep our streets safe.
Mayor Arredia questioned whether the State or County
could come into Des Plaines and do this if we decide not
to; we are a home-rule community; this should be
researched.
A lengthy discussion followed on various aspects of this
program; additional information was requested, i.e.
--copy of PowerPoint presentation;
--survey of what other communities have experienced,
what vendor they use and cost;
--cost benefit analysis; and
--if community is home-rule, can State or County come in
and implement this program?
Mr. Dion Kendrick, 923 Webster Lane, addressed the
Committee of the Whole stating that he agrees that this
should be done for safety not just for the revenue; if
the State or County want to do this, let them.
Moved by Beauvais, seconded by Brookman, to recommend to
the City Council that Staff be authorized to provide
additional information regarding the Automated Red Light
Camera Enforcement Program, i.e. copy of PowerPoint
presentation, communities survey, cost benefit analysis,
impact of home-rule; for discussion at a future meeting.
Motion declared carried.
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT -Alderman Murphy, Chair
Alderman Murphy reviewed this request from potential
owner of property located at 2200 E. Golf Road
(currently owned by United Stationers Supply Company)
for Map Amendment to change existing zoning from C-3
General Commercial District to R-3 Townhouse Residential
District; the Des Plaines Plan Commission recommends
that the Map Amendment be approved, and the Preliminary
Planned Unit Development (PUD) and Exceptions be
approved with conditions recommended by Staff and the
added condition that petitioner meet all MWRD and IDOT
requirements.
Director of Community & Economic Development Conlan
stated that the petitioner has been working with Staff
for the past six (6) to eight (8) months; this is a
mixed-use development of 102 condominiums and 121
townhouses; this is highly appropriate plan for this
site; there were some issues about the parking so the
petitioner has increased the surplus spaces from 68 to
108 surplus parking spaces.
Petitioner's attorney, Katriina McGuire, Schain, Burney,
Ross & Citron, Ltd., 222 N. LaSalle Street, Chicago,
addressed the Committee of the Whole and introduced the
petitioner, Moses Kukerman, Lexington Homes and various
members of his company, Tom Meyer and John Glenly; along
with land planner, George Sorich; landscape architect
Sharon Jones, and traffic consultant Luay Aboona; and
answered questions from the aldermen.
Alderman Walsten asked about the quality of the
materials; he is concerned. Mr. Tom Meyer said t0ey
have been building homes for 20 years; they build and
deliver a good quality home.
Alderman Murphy stated that she visited the Lexington
Home development in Morton Grove and was very impressed;
it is a great development. ~
