Mr. Ron Moore, 1480 Jefferson Street, addressed the Committee of the Whole asking if it is really necessary to have spring water; this is a blatant unnecessary expense.

Mr. Ron Moore, 1480 Jefferson Street, addressed the Committee of the Whole stating that AT&T does generate tax revenue for the City; does the Economic Development Commission follow the By-laws?; he read comments by EDC for this request; there should be another bid for the windows. Mr. Wayne Serbin, 835 Pearson Street, addressed the Committee of the Whole stating that a few months ago the Miner Street Tavern put in new windows; this change would bring in a higher clientele; young professionals would spend more money; he gave an example of a club in downtown Chicago which made changes to its building to attract more business. Mr. Brian Burkross, 2133 Webster Lane, addressed the Committee of the Whole stating that Alderman Sayad has a right to question committees; residents have the right to question the aldermen; he encouraged Alderman Haugeberg to hold Community Development meetings separate from council meetings; why are windows included in the fa9ade program; agrees with Alderman Bogus that this matter should be tabled; give it back to staff; he encouraged aldermen to attend EDC meetings, discuss, then bring back to the ~~-t 733 LEE ST.: (Cont'd) AWNING INITIATIVE PROGRAM: HOME GENERATOR Page 8of13 9/6/11 Council; he suggested that the Council spend TIF funds wisely. As requested by Alderman Haugeberg, Director of Community & Economic Development Bartholomew gave an explanation of how this particular request is to be processed by the Council; he is in the process of tightening up the policies. Mr. Burkross understands the four options recommended by staff and the issues; he suggested that this matter be tabled for further review and development by staff. Mr. Ted Ardvanitis, 733 Lee Street, Secretary for the Greek American Restaurant Association, addressed the Committee of the Whole giving a history of how this building was chosen; they spent $1 million dollars to fix it up; the organization has been around for over 20 years; not interested in flipping the building; they followed the rules of the fa9ade guidelines; they want to make Des Plaines better. Mr. Tom Diamond, President of the Greek American Restaurant Association, addressed the Committee of the Whole stating that he does not reside in Des Plaines, but is a business owner; their association is not a tax generating business, but a traffic generating business which will eventually create more business; he thanked the City for the $41,000 applied for earlier. Regarding the substitute motion to DENY the request for reimbursement Second Fa9ade Rehabilitation Rebate Request from GARA (Greek American Restaurant Association) at 733 Lee Street, motion declared carried.

ENGINEERING -Alderman Sayad, Chair Alderman Sayad stated that suggestions from the last Council meeting were incorporated into the Home Generator Assistance Program. Acting City ~~t ASSISTANCE PROGRAM: Page 9of13 9/6/11 Manager Slowinski addressed the Committee of the Whole reviewing his Memorandum of August 22, 2011; the issues raised regarding retroactivity and answered questions from the Aldermen. Alderman Charewicz recommended a waiting period, accept applications and then determine how popular the program is. Motion by Wilson to skip the retroactive period and begin the program on September 12, 2011. Motion DIED for lack of a second. Alderman Brookman suggested changing the retroactivity period to June 15 for those who bought a generator prior to the storm; modify the "first come, first served" to a lottery system which would be fairer; not everyone can be at City Hall at the beginning of the first day. Alderman W alsten does not believe in this program; he and his neighbor should not be buying half of his neighbor's generator; it is fiscally irresponsible. Mr. Brian Burkross, 2133 Webster Lane, addressed the Committee of the Whole stating that his home flooded for the first time; current plan does not address fraud; in his opinion, there are three issues: (1) do you have a generator; (2) verify that a person has a generator; and (3) show need (provide proof); the lottery should show most in need; fairest way to help people; he is against fraud. Mr. Dan Whisler, 1645 E. Walnut, addressed the Committee of the Whole stating that he owns a generator; he reviewed the mechanics of a generator; will safety or training be provided to a resident; the Council needs to create a standard for the type of generator; he would like to see a better definition for the program; research should be done to determine the type of generator required and sound level; the program should have enough money to operate. Ms. Susan Czach, 1669 Illinois Street, addressed the Committee of the Whole stating that since the Council is using taxpayer dollars for this program, shouldn't all the taxpayers be included?; the City should conduct a survey through the water bill; determine how many people have purchased a generator before determining how much money would be put into the program before allocating money. Mr. Ron Moore, 1480 Jefferson Street, addressed the Committee of the Whole stating that this program as introduced is a bigger bucket of worms than the favade issue; people will be discriminated against if they don't need a generator; this is a real invitation to greed and fraud; the money will run out fast; what line item will be used; a bad system all around and should not be introduced. Mr. Gilbert Young, 1441 South Wolf Road, addressed the Committee of the Whole stating that he bought a standby generator; he is interested in applying for the program; it is scheduled to start Monday; by the time he leaves tonight's J~~ GENERATOR ASSISTANCE PROGRAM: (Cont'd) AMBULANCE SVC. FEE AMENDMENTS: FEMA FIRE ACT GRANT/EQUIP. PURCHASE: Page 10of13 9/6/11 meeting, will he know how to apply. Alderman Charewicz agrees with Mr. Whisler' s idea of providing safety instruction to the residents. Motion by Robinson to adopt Resolution R-112-11. Motion DIED for lack of a second. Motion by Brookman to adopt Resolution R-112-11 with a retroactive date of June 15, 2011, the program to start on September 19, 2011 at 8:30 a.m. and adding a lottery system. Motion DIED for lack of a second. Moved by Brookman, seconded by Wilson, to adopt Resolution R-112-11, as amended, with an addition of a lottery system and a start date of September 19, 2011.

PUBLIC SAFETY -Alderman Walsten, Chair Fire Chief Wax addressed the Committee of the Whole rev1ewmg his Memorandum of August 23, 2011 regarding ambulance fees and answered questions from the Aldermen. The Public Safety Committee recommends approval by the Council of the proposed amendments to the ambulance service fee levels and providing for "insurance-only billing" for Des Plaines residents. Moved by Haugeberg, seconded by Robinson, to recommend to the City Council approval of Ordinance M-39-11 at appropriate time this evening. Motion declared carried. Mr. Wayne Serbin, 835 Pearson Street, addressed the Committee of the Whole stating that he is a senior citizen; there has not been a raise in Social Security in two years; investments are not doing well and are going down; the price of everything is going up; this would benefit senior citizens. Fire Chief Wax addressed the Committee of the Whole reviewing his Memorandum of August 23, 2011 regarding consideration of a ladder truck grant which would cover 80 percent of the cost; he is asking for the Council's approval to provide 20 percent local match in an amount of up to $250,000.00. ~~-t FEMA FIRE ACT GRANT/EQUIP.

Mr. Ron Moore, 1480 Jefferson Street, addressed the Committee of the Whole asking if we don't need two ladder trucks, why do we have two now; one of them needs parts created by a machinist; if we have two trucks now, we will need two trucks next year.
