Actions:

• Discussed concepts to enhance the Village's development review process through the use of updated and new design guidelines, and the consolidation of development-related commissions. Staff presented information on how design guidelines reflective of the community's desired aesthetics could be used to set building design and material expectations.  Also discussed was the creation of two Glenview Development Commissions consolidated from the four existing commissions aimed at improving the public's and applicant's experience navigating and providing input during the often confusing design review process.  The next step will begin with the Plan Commission's review of these concepts, which are similar to the design guidelines and the development review commission process successfully utilized during the redevelopment of the former Glenview Naval Air Station, known as The Glen. ​
• Gave final approval to amending the Glenview Municipal Code to increase the number of Class B liquor license to 16 from 15; Class C liquor licenses to seven from six; and Class E liquor licenses to 28 from 27, to accommodate application requests from two restaurants.
• Gave final approval to amending the Glenview Municipal Code to repeal the 2012 International Code series and replace it with the 2018 International Code series and associated local amendments; amend sections relating to swimming pool, spa and hot tub code; and adopt an updated Engineering Standards Manual. Since 1995, the Village has periodically updated the model codes produced by the International Code Council, which are used by U.S. municipalities and internationally.
• With regard to replacing and relocating aging public utilities along Pine and Depot streets, authorized a contract with Eriksson Engineering Associates of Chicago for up to $41,434 for engineering design services; awarded a contract to DiMeo Brothers of Elk Grove Village for up to $629,288 for construction services; and approved a Pipeline License Agreement with Metra to install sanitary sewer in the Metra right-of-way. Construction is expected to start this fall.
• Authorized three-year contracts with a two-year extension options for snow and ice removal with Snow Systems of Wheeling for three residential routes and Landscape Concepts Management of Grayslake for two residential routes, for a total $1,161,648 over the three years, a savings of $61,584 per year from historic costs. The firms will remove up to 50 inches of snow and ice accumulation per winter season, with a per-inch rate for each inch of snow removed over the 50 inches.
