Village President's Report
Approved
- Conditional Use for Community Park West - Phase III to build a maintenance and vehicle facility at the southern end of the site.
- Rezoning of 1421 Milwaukee Avenue -- The Grove -- from R-1 Residential to P-1 Public Lands.
- Adjustment to downtown parking regulations to create temporary disabled parking during the
construction of the Glenview Public Library. Eight spaces have been identified: four on the north side of Prairie Street and four along
the northern most row of parking in the existing Library lot on the south side of Glenview Road.
- Declaration of two Village dump trucks as surplus.
- Ordinance establishing the maximum number of liquor licenses in each license category.
- Bid and Contract awards for:
- Trees for 2009 Annual Tree Planting Program to Suburban Tree Consortium. This will involve the
purchase and planting of 450 parkway trees, a reduction from the original 600 budgeted for 2009 that will result in a savings of $51,186 over the original
budgeted amount of $179,200, necessary in light of budget conditions. The reduction in tree plantings will not affect the
Village’s status as a Tree City USA. Budget: $128,014.
- MUNIS consulting services to Baecore Group. This is necessary due to a reduction in
Village staff positions and a restructuring of the Support Services Department in response to the Village's financial situation. Consulting services are necessary to
stay on-track with planned enhancements to the Village's information system (MUNIS). Budget: $84,000.
- Emergency financial and accounting services to Sikich. The Village recently released a request for proposals
to provide these services over the long-term. In the interim, these services will be provided by Sikich. Budget: not-to-exceed $198,000.
- Amendment to coffee vendor sublease agreement for Glen of North Glenview Metra station that freezes rent levels.
- Regarding agreement with the Village of Grayslake to provide public safety dispatch services for its Police Department:
- Budget amendment.
- Agreement with New World Systems for additional software licenses and services. Budget: $21,800.
- Waiver of building, planning and other construction-associated fees (with the exception of direct costs incurred by the Village) for nonprofits and governmental jurisdictions.
- Total proposed budget for the new Glenview Public Library of $28,691,274
and a guaranteed maximum price construction budget of $23,058,018. The final contract will be on the agenda for consideration on March 17.
First Consideration
- Conditional use for Telecommunications Service Facility, 1400 Milwaukee Avenue -- 12 antennas, associated equipment and support installations.
- Deletion of Municipal Code Chapter regarding licensing and regulation of real estate brokers. This Chapter is unnecessary, as this type of regulation and licensing occurs at the State level.
