President Bushy announced that Item 9.A., "Applidation for Class E Liquor
License - 2301 York Road Limited Partnership ", has been requested by the
applicant to be postponed to the regularly scheduled Village Board meeting of
February 11, 1997.
Robert Waite, 3509 Madison, addressed the Village Board regarding the
Village of Oak Brook letter sent January 3, 1997 to Robert Lindgren, President
of the Fullersbure. Woods Area Association, discussing DuPage County's
traffic signal proposal at 31 st Street and Spring Road. He stated the letter
indicated the traffic: signal had been requested due to tragic congestion east of
the intersection. fie stated the turning restriction• had been requested by
residents to discourage excessive commuter traffic from violating the safety
and integrity of Madison, Adams and Spring Roads as residential streets,
1- Iistorically, the restrictions were in place after the original planned unit
development was approved for the McDonald's Corporation. He requested the

continuation of these restrictions and voiced a concern for the proposed tour -
foot lowering of that intersection. Village Manager Veitch indicated there is a
vertical sight distance at the top of the hill that DuPage County is addressing.
President Bushy noted it is understood unofficially that McDonald's will move
their entrance farther east on 31 st Street and closer to Salt Creek. Mr. Waite
asked if the Tollway Authority is receptive to any changes in Oak Brook.
President Bushy noted the new Tollway Authority administration is more open
to an additional access ramp than past administrations, and there has been
some progress in discussions with the Tollway Authority.
Mario Vescovi, 3625 Madison, stated he represented Mr. Lindgren and
Raymond Dunn, President of the Hunter Trails Community Association. He
requested, on record, their opposition to removal of the 3:00 -6:00 p.m. turning
restriction at the Spring Road and 31 st Street intersection, and requested the
Village Board to oppose any removal of the turning restrictions. President
Bushy indicated that DuPage County has stated either the installation of a
tragic signal or the turning restrictions will remain in force.
Trustee Savino asked if the County installed the traffic signal at this
intersection, lowered the roadway and removed the turning restrictions; would
the Village be precluded to make any changes if problems occur. Village
Manager Veitch noted that this could not be addressed until DuPage County
submits a proposal.
President Bushy reminded the residents that traffic exiting northbound from
Spring Road to 31 st Street, with the new proposed road, will enter a four -lane
cross section. She asked that the affected residents and homeowner presidents
view the proposals when received by the Village.
Mr. Waite addressed his concern for the narrow roads, as there is pedestrian
traffic on Madison Street due to the access of the Forest Preserve, and there is
no legal area for a police squad car to park on Madison Street to deter speeding
traffic. Chief of Police Klatzco commented that he had not received resident
complaints of any problems. Chief Klatzco indicated that a squad car could be
located on Mr. Waite's property° with his permission, for deterring speeding
traffic on Madison Street.
President Bushy indicated that this is the last Board meeting for Fire Chief,
Robert Nielsen, and she wished to publicly thank him for his many years of
dedicated service to the Village of Oak Brook. He leaves with a sense of
respect, as Oak Brook's Fire Department is considered a premier department in
the State of Illinois, and the Village has one of the finest fire ratings in the
State of Illinois. 82% of the commercial areas of the Village is now
sprinklered. He leaves with deep felt gratitude from the Village of Oak Brook,

Since 1895, State law has allowed municipalities to impose a tax on
the premiums of fire insurance policies written by insurance
companies not incorporated in the State of Illinois. Since 1969, Oak
Brook has imposed and received a 2 percent tax on such insurmic e
policies written on property located in the Village. State law further
requires municipalities with populations under 250,000 and a
municipal fire department to establish a mechanism whereby we
members of the municipal fire department are permitted to direct the
expenditure of revenues received from the so- Galled "foreign fire
insurance tax ".
The ordinance brings the Village into compliance with the statute. It
Provides, for election of a foreign fire insurance tax board, segregation
of the revenue in a separate fund, and for long range and annual
budgeting processes parallel to, and slightly earlier than, the financial
planning and budgeting processes of the Village generally. Thus, the
Foreign Fire Insurance Tax Board's financial plans and budgets will
be incorporated into the Village documents approved annually by the
Village President and Board of Trustees.
Following are procedures for the initial election of the Oak Brook
Foreign Fire Insurance Tax Board:
The initial election of the Board shall be held on
1997, and the terms of the officers elected shall coinmence on
1997. The terms for those persons elected to the
offices of President, Vice President, Treasurer and Sccretary shall be
for two (2) years. The election procedures shall be as follows:
(1) Any person who may vote in a Board election may nominate
himself or herself for any one office of the Board. All
nominations shall be in writing and shall be filed no later than
thirty (30) days before the election with the Village Clerk. The

The Village Board, at its meeting of June 11, 1996, authorized staff to
negotiate with a number of vendors to provide such services. The
initial selection of vendors was based on an RFP process approved by
the Village Board late in 1995.
Before contract negotiations could be completed, the follo'%ing
activities had to be accomplished:
1. Preliminary and final network design had to be completed.
2. Extensive meetings between the vendors and affected Village
departments to determine the required level of software and hardware
functionality had to take place.
3. Detailed building and site plan layouts had to be prepared showing
all network and PC equipment locations.
4. Communication options between buildings had to be investigated.
5. Detailed price lists indicating all required hardware and software
items had to be generated.
6. Contract language had to be generated and reviewed by the Village
Attorney and staff.
Once the activities had been completed, the vendors were able to
provide final estimates of costs to complete the project. Those costs
initially came in at approximately $585,700, about $150;000 over
budget. This variance has been narrowed significantly through
negotiation and by scaling back on certain items, while still
maintaining the desired level of software and hardware fiulctionality.

IMPLEMENTATION
.pa v,-T ✓.r .
The budget for this project of $432,422 includes funds from 1997
($401,07$) and 1996 ($31,344). The 1996 funds were projected to be
expended by the end of 1996, but were not utilized due to extended
contract negotiations.
The maJor variances which staff had to address after receiving the
original proposal included the increased cost for network (cabling and
communications equ,pment) and addition of an office automation
server. The network costs were substantially in excess of the original
estimates, and were reduced by changing a portion of the
communications from fiber optic to an ISDN phone line and
negotiating a reduction in cost from the vendor. The office
automation server was not contemplated in the original system design,
but upon further analysis was added to the proposed system to
maintain an acceptable level of user response and provide an
improved level of system integrity (not placing all programs on one
server).
The other changes between original and revised proposals include
reduced software items, lower capacity hardware, placing software
source code in escrow instead of a purchase, reductions in
maintenance and training costs as a result of a reduced list of
hardware and software items, and shifting some of the network
configuration costs from the vendor to our in -house staff. All changes
were made only if staff felt confident that staff could still maintain the
required level of software and hardware functionality.
Although the contract prices exceed the project budget, it is staff's
recommendation and that of the Village's consultants, that the Board
approve them. It is Group 1's opinion that the currently revised
proposals fairly represent the cost to provide these services to the
Village, and as such should be executed.
Draft contracts call for the vendors to provide the following:
pentamation Enterprises, Inc,
1. Installation of network and servers, establish comrn-m.,ations
between Village buildings and staff training.
2. Application software installation (applications include General
Ledger, Accounts Receivable, Accounts Payable, Purchasing,

Trustee Bartecki explained that some proposals have exceeded
budget as the Village requested additional hardware, Purchasing
Director Kapff indicated that the Village wanted to maintain a system
that would meet all of our requirements. Costs were reduced in
certain areas to onset the increased costs in other areas. Purchasing
Director Kapff indicated that the system could be upgraded in the
future when needed. Trustee Bartecki indicated the largest cost over
budget -vas the network system. Ted Steinbrecher, President, Group I
Resources, Inc., explained the original network plan was for a data
communication between sites via dial -up lines. This was reduced
since the Library may move, there are potential plans for Fire Station
One improvements and the Public Works link does not require such a
large communication link. Another cost increase factor was cabling
within the Village Hall which came in substantially higher than
expected.
Motion by Trustee Bartecki, seconded by Trustee Shumate, to waive
bidding and authorize staff to execute contracts with Pentamation
Government Systems, Bethlehem, Pennsylvania and Smvth Systems,
Inc., North Canton, Ohio, based on submitted proposals in the not -to-

President Bushy introduced to the Village Board Howard Chason, the
new Information Systems Specialist for the Village of Oak Brook.
Village Manger Veitch noted that the Village has reserved, for its
exclusive use, a fiber optics channel in any cables that are laid in the
VILLAGE OF OAK BROOK Minutes 9 of 15 January 28, 1997
the Village for a similar franchise for a provision or Local wiepnonc
service via fiber optics and would hopefully obtain the same usage for
the Village of a channel. The Village is creating opportunities for
of
communicating outside our community and within via this type
franchise provision.
Trustee Payovich requested improvement of projected expenses of
Village projects. She asked that this procedure improve with the
enhanced system.

The 22nd Street[York Road improvement requires additional right -of-
way easements. Because this project is funded with Federal and State
funds, the Village has followed IDOT's normal land acquisition
procedures which include obtaining an appraisal, having that appraisal
reviewed, and having a negotiator work with each property owner in
handling the details of transfer of title. To date, IDOT has approved
all appraisals and each owner has received them.
A letter dated January 10, 1997 from Mary Mathewson, the Village's
negotiator, states that the parcels have been acquired from LaSalle
National Trust as Trustee Under Trust 32223 and the Village needs to
disperse funds for these properties. This property entails the Windsr
Office Plaza in the northeast corner of 22nd/Windsor. These parcels
include:

Objective 5101 -4 in the 1'-096 Village Board Objectives was
"Determine direction regarding renewal of participation in the DLS
Automation Cluster (MAGIC) for the next contract term." It was
reported to the 'Board during 1996 that renewal of participation is
recommended. The agreement formalizes that renewal.
Oak Brook Public Library's options include becoming a "standalone"
library, joining the LILAC cluster (Villa Park) or maintaining DLS
cluster membership. Standalone status would cost upwards of
$30,000 in automation costs (Dynix, the new DLS software, as a high -
end system would cost wore). Additional staff would be needed for
operation. LILAC is an independent consortium within DLS and does
not receive inclusion in State automation grants. As Oak Brook
Library is not supported by property taxes, its only availability for
grant inclusion is through DLS (and occasional "all- libraries" grants).
Therefore, continuing Oak Brook Public Library's association with
the DLS cluster is most beneficial regarding cost, quality of system
serving residents, staff and grant availability.
Motion by Trustee McInerney, seconded by Trustee Kenny, to renew
the agreement between the DuPage Library System (DLS) and the
Village of Oak Brook (as the governing entity for the Oak Brook Free
Public Library. a DLS member) for automated/integrated services per
Ameritech/Dynix. ROLL CALL VOTE:

On January 13, the Board reached a consensus that WMX
Technologies should be queried as to its ability to reach agreement on
a real estate transaction within a 15 to 30 day period.
Waste Management, Inc.'s Director of Real Estate, the company's real
estate counsel reported that, although the company would like to be
supportive of the Village, it is not able to move in such a short timt
frame. A response in writing has been requested, but it is not known
when it will be received.
A decision on location must be made in the very near future if the
project is to have any hope of progressing to construction this year.
Also, authorization to negotiate a contract for further design services
is necessary in order to keep the project moving forward. Should the
Board decide to continue pursuit of another site or should litigation to
interpret the Sports Core deed restriction be filed, it would not be
realistic to anticipate construction before 1998.
Motion by Trustee McIne ney, seconded by Trustee Kenny, to
negotiate architectural services for the construction of a Library on the
Sports Core property.
President Bushy indicated that the Village Board had received from
Trustee Savino an article entitled "Public Library Site Selection" by
Robert H. Rohlf, Director, and David R. Smith, Associate Director
for Public Service of the Hennepin County Library, Minnetonka,
Minnesota. She read a portion of the article that was not received by
the Village Board indicating the complexity of a libr,, y site selection
as follows:
"Site acquisition itself can often be a very time - consuming and
frustrating process. In some cases, libraries have had to retreat from
the most ideal location available to a secondary choice because the
property was simply too expensive, or the community was unwilling
to enter into condemnation proceedings and the property desired was
held by multiple owners, or there were so many codicils to the land
transfer that for all practical purposes the delays would be so lengthy
that the site was really unobtainable. This problem of site acquisition
delay is not uncommon, and one must be prepared for it. However, in
most cases, obstacles can be surmounted if there is a strong,
thoroughly documented site selection process that precedes the actual
VILLAGE OF OAK BROOK Minutes 12 of 15 January 28, 1997
r

site acquisition itself."
"One must always keep in mind that a proposed location for a new
library building is going to arouse a great deal of public interest and
the library board and staff will find themselves in a community that is
taking sides on which is the best location for a library building. The
library board must proceed as objectively and calmly as possible to
pursue the acquisition of the site that best meets the criteria proven by
experience to be the best for a library location and to remember that
the site furor will shortly calm down and that the best library location
will stand as a test for years to come to the wisdom, strength, and
common sense of those people making the final site determination."
President Bushy explained that the Village received a FAX letter from
WMX as of 5:00 p.m. today in response to the Village's request for a
library site on their property. She read it for the record indicating that
WMX has currently a contract purchaser for the Village Green parcel,
and it would be difficult within the next 15 -30 days to address issues
necessary to sell a portion of the land for the purpose of a library
development. She further indicated at a meeting with the
Homeowner Presidents, an informal presentation was given by Peter
Huizenga on behalf of WMX of a proposal for their Village Green
property. His statement at that meeting was that he would
recommend to WMX to decline involvement in any proposed library
site of their property due to the difficulty of developing the proposed
project and ethics of zoning issues. There seemed high enthusiasm
for what was presented by Mr. Huizenga from the presidents. All of
the homeowner presidents from the immediate surrounding area of
the Village Green property were in attendance of that meeting.
Trustee Bartecki indicated since WMX is not able to commit to a
library site that the Village move ahead with the Library project on
the Sports Core property, as another site is not available. He indicated
his opposition to the Library on the Sports Core property due to the
legality of its use as being recreational, but the Village Board should
move ahead with this project.
Trustee Savino also indicated all avenues of sites have been explored.
The Sports Core site may not be the best site, but it is the only site at
this time, and the Village Board should move ahead with the project.
Trustee Shumate noted his shared concern with Trustee Bartecki of
the legality of the Sports Core property for recreational usage by a
library. He asked that the motion be modified so that the Library
meet the criteria of the covenants of the Sports Core property. He

requested the Library facility be modified for a type of structure that
physically will handle our weather environmentally, including heating
and maintenance.
Trustee Kenny stated the mandate from the voters was to proceed with
the Library, and the Village Board has researched alternative sites and
found the Sports Core property as the site for the Library. He
commented the building has already been comprised by its design due
to the cost limitations and that a theatre would not be a desirable part
of the Library due to the cost constraints. It could be added in the
future, but he does not feel this is necessary as past of the Library to
meet the criteria of recreational usage of the Sports Core property .
There was no second to the request for amending the motion.
ROLL CALL VOTE:
Ayes: 5 - Trustees Kenny, McInerney, Payovich, Savino and

Trustee Savino noted that the section President Bushy read was
correct, as that was the procedure the Village Board followed to
decide the appropriate site for the Library.
