PUBLIC SAFETY -Alderman Beauvais, Chair
Assistant to the City Manager Palm and Police Chief
Prandini reviewed their memo of May 26, 2005 and gave a
PowerPoint Presentation regarding the current
infrastructure/space issues in the police station; the
station was build in 1974-75 and is approximately 20,050
sq. ft; in 2001 Sente, Rubel, Bosman & Lee Architects,
performed a needs analysis of the facility which showed
that the police department needs approximately 55,000-
60,000 sq. ft. of space.
Assistant to the City Manager Palm and Police Chief
Prandini reviewed the four (4) options being presented
for the aldermen's consideration:
1. Repair/remodel Existing Station;
2. Build New Station & Garage at Current Location;
3. Build New Station & Garage at Other Location; and
4. Proposed Infill Addition
The Staff is recommending Options #2 and #3; they will
prepare a comprehensive needs study for the aldermen's
consideration.
Alderman Brookman stated that the police department has
definite need issues; we now have to look for land when
we had the old Library property; we should not close our
options; everything should be on the table; maybe we
should look at a joint facility for both the fire
department and police department.
Alderman Sayad stated that he thought there were
preliminary plans somewhere to rebuild on the current
site; he favors rebuilding.
City Manager Niemeyer stated that the Staff would like
authorization to move forward with this; we don't want
to get into a lot of discussion on the land on this
point.
Alderman Becker stated that he agrees we should not get
into where the place will be, but we should be looking
at a new site; work with the Community Development
Department for new land.
Alderman Murphy stated that she, too, remembers seeing
plans for rebuilding on the present site of the police
station; this would be the best location; we want to
meet the police needs; she would like to see us stay on
this site.
Alderman Christiansen stated that we have to do
something and we have to do it quickly.
Alderman Argus stated that we do need a new station; we
should look at Options #2 and #3.
Alderman Smith stated that he agrees; Staff should come
back to us with full information on Options #2 and #3.
Alderman Brookman stated that we should go with Options
#2 and #3; we need to tell the residents what it will
cost.

Alderman Beauvais stated that we really need to get
moving on this; go with Options #2 and #3; residents
need to be kept informed.
Mr. Gary Danfield, 655 River Road, addressed the
Committee of the Whole stating that Lee and Oakton
Streets seem to be the spot for both; two (2 )
departments can work in one (1) facility.
Mr. Brian Burkross, 2133 Webster Lane, addressed the
Committee of the Whole stating that a combined facility
did not work in two (2) communities that he talked to;
it causes conflict; he would like to see us pursue this ;
is 55, 000-60, 000 sq. ft. big enough. Police Chief
Prandini said yes, they planned for the future; it will
be big enough.
Moved by Beauvais, seconded by Argus, to concur with
Staff recommendation and recommend to the City Council
regarding Police Facility Site Study that Staff be
authorized to explore Option #2 -Build New Station &
Garage at Current Location, and Option #3 -Build New
Station & Garage at Other Location; report back to the
City Council with information on specific sites and
updated construction figures; and, if necessary, an
Executive Session be held regarding land acquisition.
Motion declared carried.
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT -Alderman Becker, Chair
Alderman Becker reviewed this request for a Conditional
Use to permit construction of a four ( 4) -lane drive-
through bank facility on property located at 510
Metropolitan Way.
Alderman Becker questioned the need for four (4) lanes.
Mr. Randall Morrissey, Real Estate Manager, Fifth Third
Bank, 1701 Golf Road, Rolling Meadows, IL, addressed the
Committee of the Whole and reviewed the site plans.
Alderman Murphy stated that she has significant concerns
about this entire project; shouldn't we approve a change
to the PUD?; this was not in the plan that was approved;
should we be approving a free-standing entity?
Moved by Murphy, seconded by Brookman, to recommend to
the City Council to POSTPONE Zoning Case 05-15-CU,
regarding request for a Conditional Use to permit
construction of a four (4)-lane drive-through bank
facility on property located at 510 Metropolitan Way for
further review.

SUBSTITUTE MOTION to concur with Staff recommendation
and recommend to the City Council, re Zoning Case 05-15-

Ordinance Z-12-05 be placed on First Reading at
