VIII. NEW BUSINESS BY VILLAGE TRUSTEES:
Trustee Desmond suggested that if a Trustee has no new business to discuss, they should limit their comments to
three minutes; maybe less talk and more work. He would like to create a program for high school graduates to
work with businesses in Oak Lawn. He would like to see businesses offer apprenticeships and internships to
our students where they can learn certain skills.
Trustee Desmond spoke about an article that he read in todays Chicago Tribune about college students who
acquire about $60,000 - $70,000 in student debt after they have graduated and are still unable to find a job. He
stated that there is a worldwide shortage of people in trades. With the economy coming back, it is time to create
new careers for 17-18 year olds and teach them skills so they are able to go anywhere in the world to work.
Trustee Desmond spoke about term limits for elected Village officials. He proposed that this be put on the next
agenda.
Trustee Olejniczak stated that Com Ed came back to the Village within the last 24 hours and ruled that they will
not cover the damage from the power surge that occurred two months ago. He found that very concerning for the
65 residents that were affected by this power surge. Those residents affected had damage from $2,000 - $20,000
from this energy surge. He would like to know how the Village can effectively support our residents.
Trustee Olejniczak asked Village Attorney OGrady how the Village can approach the ICC to be able to fight
for the residents and get a ruling on Com Eds negative ruling that they will not take care of the damage that was
caused by their system.
Village Attorney OGrady stated that at the time of the outage he thought the Village should go through the
administrative process/arbitration process through Com Ed to see what their answer was at the time.
Village Attorney OGrady stated that there were two avenues for the Village to go. He advised filing a complaint
with the ICC in Springfield and to file an enhanced report that other Villages have done on behalf of their
municipalities and taxpayers. He will work on the paperwork for this event.
Trustee Olejniczak mentioned that he has all the names, addresses and email addresses of those residents who
were affected by this power surge. He will contact them with information of a forthcoming meeting.
Trustee Olejniczak spoke about the Memorial Day festivities at the War Memorial on the Village Green. He
shared a story about his fathers service to our country and how he lost a friend in WWII.
Trustee Olejniczak thanked all veterans for their service.
Trustee Olejniczak stated that the Oak Lawn Green Team is sponsoring its 2nd Annual Bike Tour on June 22nd. No
on-site registration is available. You must sign up on the internet or come to the Village Clerks office to register.
He thanked the sponsors of this event: The Bike Psychos, Fairplay Foods, CDM Smith, Childrens Museum in
Oak Lawn, Cal-Sag Trail and Complete Vision Care.
Trustee Streit mentioned how nice it was to see the Police promotions at tonights meeting. It was nice to see
former Police Chiefs Bob Smith and Bill Villanova in the audience. The Village of Oak Lawn has a clear plan of
succession in place in our Police Department.
Trustee Vorderer stated that he was a Vietnam veteran. It took 25 years to be recognized. While at the Memorial
Day services in Oak Lawn yesterday, he was proud to be an American and a veteran.
Trustee Vorderer asked the Oak Lawn Park District if he could announce any of their upcoming events and they
agreed. He mentioned that the Oak Lawn Theatre is putting on 9 to 5 the weekends of May 31st and June 8th.
The cost is not much more than one would pay to see a movie.
Trustee Vorderer met with the President and executives from Advocate Christ Medical Center with President Bury
and Village Manager Deetjen to discuss issues important to District 4. The meeting was extremely productive and
he left the two hour meeting with a positive feeling. Traffic signals are being reconfigured at 95th and Kostner.
New lights will have a left turn signal going north.
Trustee Quinlan went through her District this past week after storms came through and noticed that storm drains
in front of some homes were covered with debris. She asked that residents be mindful of clearing debris from the
storm sewers when our Public Works Department cannot get to it.
Trustee Quinlan spoke about a car accident at the northwest corner of 105th and Georgia Lane that happened a
couple of months ago where the driver was killed and passengers were injured. A couple of weeks later another
accident occurred on the northeast side of that intersection. She has spoken with staff about the possibility of
putting speed bumps up in that area. She reminded people to slow down.
Trustee Quinlan discussed the video gambling and liquor licensing in some establishments. She would like to set a
special meeting to discuss these issues as it might be a lengthy discussion.
Trustee Carberry asked the Village Manager and Village attorney to prepare documentation for the next meeting
to rescind the policy on pensions for part-time elected officials.
Trustee Carberry spoke about the use of the Oak Lawn senior buses for transporting seniors to Sunday church
services. He wondered if the buses could be rented. He asked Village Manager Deetjen if he could look into this.
Trustee Carberry stated that St. Catherine of Alexandria is having their annual carnival from June 5th June 9th.
Trustee Carberry thanked all veterans for their service, including Trustees Olejniczak and Vorderer.
IX. VILLAGE MANAGERS REPORT:

A PARKING VARIATION @ 5300 WEST 95TH STREET (6-1 VOTE TO APPROVE), PET. #2013-18,
BEVERLY BANK & TRUST CO., PETITIONER, IN DISTRICT 2:
XIII. ORDINANCE #13-10-31: AN ORDINANCE GRANTING A PARKING VARIATION TO ALLOW FOR

THE CONSTRUCTION OF A BANK @ 5300 W. 95TH STREET (BEVERLY BANK AND TRUST CO.,
PETITIONER):
Trustee Vorderer moved, seconded by Trustee Carberry to approve Items XII and XIII.
Trustee Quinlan stated that the information in the packet indicated that the petitioner needed a parking variance
because there are not enough parking spaces. It states that there are 20 additional spaces deeded to the bank by
the Village, yet it does not show where additional parking is going to come from.
Village Manager Deetjen said that the offices at this bank location will reflect how the Beverly Bank and Trust
location at 103rd and Western operates. The bank will reflect the financial industry as opposed to Harris Bank
which reflects the medical industry.
Trustee Quinlan asked about renting the office space in the bank facility.
Mike Johnstone, CEO of Beverly Bank spoke about the rental of space in the bank. The third floor could be rented
out for office space and if they choose to do so it is contingent on very limited parking. The space is about 2,000
square feet and a dormer, with a reduced side roof. The 2nd floor will house the bank operations and their
finance group. The east side of the floor will house a community room and the main level will be all banking
services.
Mr. Johnstone stated that the 20 parking spaces that the bank negotiated for are not necessarily for the tenants.
Village Manager Deetjen said that the 20 parking spaces will be in the north parking lot of the Village Hall.
He stated that he surveyed the number of employees that actually use the parking lot. He found that there is a
surplus of over 40 parking spaces at peak hours. Parking would be available in the closer spaces to the bank for
customers and the farther spaces will be for associates.
Trustee Quinlan wanted to know if there would be restrictions on parking in the bank parking lot when they are
closed. She stated the need for parking in the evenings for concerts and Fall on the Green.
Mike Johnstone stated that this question came up at a Planning and Development Commission meeting. He stated
that as it relates to liability and insurance, the bank would look for indemnifications from the entities that want to
park there.
Village Manager Deetjen thought that Mr. Johnstones response was appropriate. This is something that we can
work with our insurance carriers on and better serve the public.
Trustee Olejniczak reminded the Board that the banks understanding of the agreement by a 4-3 vote was that their
plan was the full plan that the bank expected. The concern is that the Library will lose 42 parking spaces on this
site. There will be a lot of traffic coming into the area and that is a concern to the neighborhood. The bank will be
using the lot on weekdays from 7:00 a.m. 7:00 p.m. and on Saturdays 7:00 a.m. 1:00 p.m.
Trustee Streit asked the Village Manager if the land was rezoned and sold to the bank to balance the budget.
Village Manager Deetjen said no.
Trustee Olejniczak asked if the money that was used for the land, was ultimately used to balance the budget.
Village Manager Deetjen stated that the money was included in the current 2013 operating budget.
Trustee Olejniczak asked if we could have balanced the budget without the money from the bank.
Village Manager Deetjen stated that the Board of Trustees deliberated during the budget sessions. They looked at
three or four scenarios on how they would close the gap. Other alternatives were available, and the Board adopted
the 2013 budget with the $1.8 million dollar sale of the property included.
President Bury asked for the roll to be taken.

MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY.

TEMPORARY RETAIL BANK TRAILER @ 5300 W. 95TH STREET:
Trustee Quinlan moved, seconded by Trustee Carberry to approve Items XVI and XVII.
Trustee Vorderer asked where the trailer was going to be placed on said property.
Village Manager Deetjen stated that there is a diagram of the placement of the trailer.
Mike Johnstone, CEO of Beverly Bank stated that the construction period will be approximately eight months and
the bank is eager to be a part of the Village. The trailer will be at the east end of the property and will let people
know that the bank is coming soon.

XVIII. REQUEST TO APPROVE AND AWARD BID FOR THE 2013 SIDEWALK REPLACEMENT

expand sidewalk replacement and improvements. The money has been budgeted as part of the Build America
Bonds.

PURSUANT TO THE 2013 SIDEWALK REPLACEMENT PROGRAM:

Trustee Desmond asked about the bidding process. Village Manager explained the process from placing the ad to
picking the vendor.

Trustee Desmond questioned the engineers estimate.
Village Manager Deetjen stated that the engineers estimate is a conservative amount. The bids will come in at a
lower level.

AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE VILLAGE OF OAK LAWN AND OAK LAWN COMMUNITY HIGH

Trustee Olejniczak moved, seconded by Trustee Desmond to approve Item XXII.
Trustee Quinlan stated that she understands that the school district will be reimbursing the Village of Oak Lawn.
She asked if this included benefits.
Mike Riordan, Superintendent of Oak Lawn Community High School District 229 thanked the Village for
entertaining this proposal. He stated that the proposed agreement requires that the district reimburse the Village
for the police liaisons time spent in the service of the school. The payment is based on the officers salary. No
benefits are involved through the school district.
Trustee Vorderer stated that a police liaison has been at Community High School District 218 for more than 15
years. He stated that particular relationship has worked well for both parties.
Superintendent Riordan mentioned that the Oak Lawn Community High School agreement was modeled after the
District 218 agreement. For the past ten years, Oak Lawn Community High School District 229 has employed a
part-time officer, namely Bob Foster, a retired Oak Lawn Police Officer. The school district felt it was time to hire
a full-time officer at the school.

XXIII. RESOLUTION #13-10-21: A RESOLUTION APPROVING THE COLLECTIVE BARGAINING

AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE VILLAGE OF OAK LAWN AND THE INTERNATIONAL UNION OF

XXIV. RESOLUTION #13-10-22: A RESOLUTION APPROVING AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE

VILLAGE OF OAK LAWN AND SEGUIN SERVICES INC. ON BEHALF OF INTERSECT FOR
ABILITY FOR PROPERTY MAINTENANCE SERVICES:
Trustee Quinlan moved, seconded by Trustee Vorderer to approve Item XXIV.
Trustee Vorderer asked Village Manager Deetjen how many homes are provided this service.
Village Manager Deetjen said that over any given time of the 22,000 homes in Oak Lawn, the Village of Oak
Lawn may take care of 1,000 properties during the economic downturn. The Village of Oak Lawn started out
using our Public Works crews. We have since then supplemented using our summer help and now a partnership
with Intersect for Ability. The Intersect for Ability group works with 35-40 households on a weekly basis. Liens
have been placed on these properties. Outstanding liens have reached seven figures. Property cannot be sold
without addressing the lien. There is a certain property in District 3 where the lien is in excess of $500,000.
Trustee Olejniczak stated that the foreclosure process is frustrating. The Village cannot enter a property until the
grass is over four inches high. The Village sends a letter to give the property owner five days to rectify the
situation. Once the Village enters that property a lien can be put on the property. He wondered if there is a way to
speed up the process. The company that is being proposed to do the work helps out our Public Works department.

Trustee Streit moved, seconded by Trustee Carberry to approve Item XXV.

meeting to after the Village Presidents Report and before Adjournment.
Trustee Olejniczak moved, seconded by Trustee Vorderer to approve moving Executive Session to the end of the
meeting after the Village Presidents Report and before Adjournment.


XXX. REQUEST TO APPROVE THE 2013 BAND CONTRACTS FOR THIS YEARS FALL ON THE GREEN
FESTIVAL:
Trustee Olejniczak moved, seconded by Trustee Carberry to postpone Item XXX.
Trustee Olejniczak asked for a postponement to the next agenda on this item due to information received from
staff about irregularities in sponsorship.
Trustee Quinlan asked if the postponement will affect losing any of the bands.
Trustee Streit stated that it probably would affect hiring the bands.
ROLL CALL: TRUSTEE QUINLAN-NO TRUSTEE CARBERRY-YES

TRUSTEE DESMOND-YES TRUSTEE STREIT-NO
MOTION PASSED 4-2.
XXXI. MOTION TO AMEND THE POLICY PERTAINING TO THE 2013 ALLOCATION OF FUNDS FOR
INFRASTRUCTURE PRIORITIZATION BASED ON STAFF RECOMMENDATION FOR
INFRASTRUCTURE NEEDS:
Trustee Olejniczak moved, seconded by Trustee Carberry to approve Item XXXI.
Trustee Streit stated that at a meeting last Thursday with Mayor Bury, she told him that the Village Board was
going to vote to rescind the 2013 infrastructure prioritization policy.
At his request, Trustee Streit received a draft copy of an agenda that was given to him on Thursday that was not
complete. This particular item was not entered in the agenda at the time of a meeting with Mayor Bury.
Attorneys were still working on documentation for the agenda at that point. Mayor Bury pointed out to Trustee
Streit that the attorneys had received notice on Tuesday of this particular item.
Trustee Streit stated that two meetings ago on a Thursday, he requested that an item be put on the agenda.
Through a series of emails by the Village Manager, Village Clerk and Village Attorney, they indicated that the
deadline was Tuesday, a week before the Board meeting.
The Deputy Clerk sent an email to all Trustees to let them know that all items are to be sent to the Clerks office
by the Tuesday prior to the meeting. He stated that the rules should apply to everyone.
Village Clerk Quinlan stated that the agenda Trustee Streit had in hand was a draft copy, one that was copied
before the final agenda was complete.
Trustee Streit stated that Mayor Bury said this policy was going to be rescinded by the Board of Trustees at this
meeting. The intention of the policy when it was passed was to make sure that all of the Trustees had an equal
amount of infrastructure projects in their District. The other part was to address those who had not benefited from
the Build America Bond program. The Village initially borrowed $36 million dollars for infrastructure projects
and over the last few years the Village has spent about $30 million. All of these projects were selected by
engineers and staff. At that time, we had about $7 million to spend.
In an effort to make sure that all residents were able to benefit from those improvements, the Public Works
Committee made the following recommendation: The former Mayor had asked that $1million dollars be set aside
for either the expansion of the Village Green or the Beatty development, or a combination of the two. The Public
Works Committee agreed to that recommendation.
We have already committed $2 million dollars to the sanitary sewer rehabilitation improvements. That left about
$4 million dollars for the street resurfacing, alley improvements and water mains. The Public Works Committee
felt that given this is the last of the Build America Bonds funds, each District should be represented fairly. The
$4 million dollars would be divided up among the six Districts.
Trustee Streit stated that the decisions on streets, alleys and water mains have been made. He said that there is no
reason to rescind the policy, unless the intention is to stop the expansion of the Village Green. The reason for
putting the Build America Bonds funds into the expansion of the Village Green is relatively simple. Not everyone
had a street, alley or a water main approved over the last several years. All residents have to pay off the Build
America Bonds and everyone can enjoy the Village Green, which is the largest gathering place in the Village of
Oak Lawn. This was one way in which the residents could benefit from the Build America Bonds.
Trustee Streit hopes that, after reconsideration by his fellow Trustees, they will realize that the policy was not only
fair, but it was visionary. Expanding the Village Green is in the best interest of our Village community.
Trustee Olejniczak stated that since that policy was adopted, there has been an election and this was an election
issue. The people of the Village of Oak Lawn spoke. They do not believe that a $1 million dollar expansion of the
Village Green is needed. They believe that the use of the $1 million dollars should be decided by staff whether it
be used for streets, alleys or any infrastructure improvement.
Trustee Olejniczak stated that there is more that needs to be done in the Village. The residents expect us to do
more infrastructure work through 2017.
Trustee Vorderer stated that he would like to see work done on streets in his District before the Village moves
forward on new projects.
Trustee Quinlan mentioned that funds were distributed equally among districts. Millions of dollars less was spent
in District 1 than in some of the other districts. She stated that there was probably a request for almost $4 million
in District 2. District 5 continually has less money spent. She realizes that there are no alleys in District 5. She
thinks that some of the other Districts should be taken care of equally when there is not much money remaining.
Trustee Olejniczak stated that the Village staff has put together a priority list of things that need to be done. He is
not an expert in infrastructure and therefore he relies on staff to make decisions on the highest priority jobs. Some
Districts are older than others. There were streets not taken care of for years. Money cannot be spent equally in
all six Districts when you look at the age of infrastructure and the needs throughout the Village of Oak Lawn.
Trustee Quinlan stated that years ago we were all under the impression that there was a process that all streets
were evaluated. That was not the case. For those residents and Trustees who complained, work got done.
That process changed about two years ago when the Board realized that it was not a fair process. Given the fact
that some Districts were neglected, she thought that there was a limited amount of money and each District does
have needs.
Trustee Olejniczak thought that $1 million dollars for improvement of the Village Green was not the best use
of money.
Village Attorney Paul OGrady stated the current bids that have been awarded and are in the process under the
old policy, will continue on and be completed. Anything that has not gone forward at this point is going to stop.
The $1 million dollars that was set aside for the Village Green/Beatty project will be set aside and redirected or put
back to the infrastructure staff recommendations.
Village Manager Deetjen stated that tomorrow bids will be open on infrastructure projects. If bids are very
competitive, there may be additional money to allocate for other infrastructure projects.

MOTION PASSED 4-2.
