Trustee James Patterson was absent.
Village President's Report:
- The Village participated in Earth Hour on March 29! Non-essential lighting at the Police and Fire Stations was turned off.
- President Cummings reported that the United States Postal Service has indicated that it has identified a site in Northbrook for its new facility and is no longer
pursuing the Glenview sites it had previously considered.
Village Manager's Report:
- Cambridge Subdivision Traffic Committee meeting update. Over the last six months, the Traffic Committee has been looking into
concerns West Lake Avenue area residents have expressed regarding speeding and site lines -- particularly with regard to six intersections coming out of the
Cambridge Subdivision. The Committee has completed its analysis of this area and determined that, while traffic speeds are not of particular concern (although
they do merit additional, targeted enforcement), there is an issue with site lines. Often, large vehicles park too close to the intersections, inhibiting
motorists' ability to see West Lake traffic approaching. To address this issue, the Village will do additional striping work to narrow intersections where they
come out onto West Lake and will take out some parking spaces at the intersections.
Approved:
- Conditional use ordinance for Glenview Park District located at 1001 Zenith Drive.
A Public Hearing was held on this matter.
- Annexation, rezoning, final site plan, preliminary subdivision and variation for 600 Milwaukee Avenue -- Central and Milwaukee Plaza.
- Environmental plan review and single-lot subdivision for 1748 Portage Run - Fahah Tabahi Residence.
- Adjustment of parking regulations on Henley Street between Lincoln and Spruce Streets.
There will be no parking on the south side of the street Monday-Friday between 8 - 10 a.m., or on the north side at any time.
- Billing for Emergency Medical Services Transport to commence July 1. This program will bill insurance companies,
Medicare and Medicaid for ambulance transport. Residents (those living in incorporated Glenview and the Glenbrook Fire Protection District) will not be
charged for co-pays or deductibles. Fees will be $790 for residents and $896 for non-residents; non-residents who are uninsured will be able to
apply for a
hardship waiver.
- Contract Awards:
- River East Bank Stabilization Project design services to V3 Companies. Budget: $56,457.

- Contract award for Emergency medical billing services to Advanced Data Processing, Inc. Three-year contract. Annual Fee: six percent of revenues, or approximately $78,000.
- Rejection of bids for sluice gate contract.
State statute requires that bidders for contracts over $5,000 provide a performance and payment
bond. The legal notice of the intent to bid did require the performance bond while the bid
documents did not state a performance bond requirement. For this reason, the maintenance contract be re-bid to ensure
that the Village's process is legal, fair, and transparent.

- New Municipal Liquor Code. Major changes include:
- Inclusion of clear definitions relating to the licensing of alcoholic beverages.

- Consolidation of allowable hours of operation into two classifications -- one for establishments
that serve alcohol on the premises, and one for establishments that sell it for consumption off site.
