6. C. COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT REFERRALS
1) THE CLUBHOUSE OAK BROOK - 298 OAKBROOK CENTER - SPECIAL
USE - OUTDOOR DINING AREA
On April 14, 1998 the Village Board approved Ordinance S -896 to permit an
outdoor dining area adjacent to the Clubhouse restaurant located at 298 Oakbrook
Center. A Barnes and Noble store was recently completed next to the Clubhouse
causing significant changes to the fagade, planters and railings. The proposed
amendment will allow the existing outdoor dining area to be updated and improve
the visual aesthetics so that the two retail stores flow. Since the outdoor dining
area is in high demand when the weather is pleasant, the applicant is also
requesting approval to expand the outdoor dining area to the other side of the
establishment.
The request has been approved by the General Manager of the Oakbrook Center,
conditioned upon approval by the Village.
The requested action was to refer a request for a special use to permit an
additional outdoor dining area adjacent to the Clubhouse Restaurant to the Plan
Commission for review at its April 20, 2009 meeting and to the Zoning Board of
Appeals for public hearing at its May 5, 2009 meeting.
2) LABRIOLA CAFE LLC - 3021 BUTTERFIELD ROAD (OAK BROOK
PROMENADE) - SPECIAL USE - OUTDOOR DINING AREA
Richard Labriola, the tenant operating the Labriola Cafe, located at 3021
Butterfield Road (Oak Brook Promenade), has submitted a petition seeking
approval of a special use in order to permit outdoor dining adjacent to the
restaurant. The request has been approved by NAI Hiffman Asset Management,
as agent for the owner of the Oak Brook Promenade, LLC, conditioned upon
approval by the Village.
The requested action was to refer a request for a special use to permit an outdoor
dining area adjacent to the Labriola Cafe to the Plan Commission for review at
it's April 20, 2009 meeting and to the Zoning Board of Appeals for public hearing
at its May 5, 2009 meeting.
3) BLUM - 3000 COOLIDGE - VARIATION - FRONT YARD SETBACK
Charles and Catherine Blum are seeking approval of a variation to change the
front yard setback of 100 feet on their property to 40 feet. The previous owner of
the lot recorded a 100 foot setback on the property at 3000 Coolidge, because he
VILLAGE OF OAK BROOK Minutes Page 4 of 13 REGULAR MEETING OF
APRIL 14, 2009
6. C. 3) resided in the property at 3006 Coolidge and did not want his screened porch
view to be blocked, so the Blum's built their home in 1992 adhering to the 100 -
foot setback.
Since that time the property at 3006 Coolidge was sold to a developer and a new
house was constructed. The Blum's desire to build an addition and update their
home and are requesting relief to bring their property into compliance with the
other R -3 properties in the area.
The requested action was to refer a request for a variation to the front yard
setback to the Zoning Board of Appeals for public hearing at its May 5, 2009
meeting.
D. AUTHORIZATION TO SEEK BIDS OR PROPOSALS OR NEGOTIATE
CONTRACTS
1) GOLF CART BATTERIES
During the budget process late summer 2008, staff searched for ways to save
money in the 2009 budget. At the time we focused on the possibility of foregoing
the purchase of a new golf car fleet after the fourth year of ownership. Buying a
new fleet after four years has been the standard practice for the golf club for
several decades. Our existing fleet hit the four year mark at the end of last season.
The major driver for this type of decision is battery health. We decide to do an
examination of battery health in September. We tested the specific gravity and a
load test on all the batteries. We felt the fleet was in good enough condition to get
a fifth year out of the fleet and save the cost of a new purchase. We knew that all
of the carts would not make the fifth year. Late in 2008 we installed new batteries
(30) in five of the worst carts. We also budgeted for another 25% of the fleet to be
retrofitted with new batteries throughout the season ($11,000.00). During the off
season we performed all of the normal winter maintenance on the fleet.
Unfortunately, the fleet's batteries have degraded even further during the winter
months. This past Saturday, 15 carts were unable to make a full 18 holes and were
exchanged during use on the golf course. Obviously, this is an unacceptable
customer service situation. An acceptable level would be one golf car replaced on
the course during a day. Staff is now asking to replace all the batteries in the
remaining 63 golf cars (5 of our 68 cars were replaced last year). Each golf car
has 6 batteries. We have contacted three suppliers (EZGo, Batteries Plus, and
Interstate Battery). The lowest price of $89.95 per battery was received from
Interstate Battery.
This replacement now will provide for a reliable fleet that meets the service level
expected by our customers, and will delay the purchase of a new fleet until after
VILLAGE OF OAK BROOK Minutes Page 5 of 13 REGULAR MEETING OF
APRIL 14, 2009
6. D. 1) the 2010 season, thereby spreading the cost of replacement over the next two
seasons. All of the labor required for the battery replacement will be provided by
current staff.
There are funds available in the budget for this as we previously suggested cuts of
$67,000 in the 2009 Golf Course budget to comply with the Manager's directive
to make mid -year cuts.
The requested action was that the Village Board waive competitive bidding and
authorize a purchase order in a not -to- exceed amount of $34,001.01 to Interstate
Battery System of Central Chicago, 8500 W. 191st Street, Mokena, Illinois for
the purchase of 378 golf car batteries.
E. BUDGET ADJUSTMENTS — None presented.
F. RESOLUTION R -1037, A RESOLUTION APPROVING THE FINAL PLAT FOR
THE KINST SUBDIVISION AND CONFIRMING VARIATIONS AND WAIVERS
FROM CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF SECTION 14 -6 -3 ( "SUBDIVISION
REGULATIONS ") OF THE VILLAGE CODE OF THE VILLAGE OF OAK
BROOK
At the March 10, 2009 meeting, the Village Attorney was directed to prepare a
resolution granting approval of the Final Plat for the Kinst Subdivision including
variations and waivers to the Subdivision Regulations for a two -lot subdivision
located at 37 and 38 Yorkshire Woods.
The requested action was for passage of Resolution R -1037, which approves the Final
Plat including the variations and waivers to the Subdivision Regulations for the Kinst
Subdivision for the property located at 37 and 38 Yorkshire Woods.
G. ORDINANCE S -1261, AN ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING THE SALE BY
BROKER OF CERTAIN ITEMS OF PERSONAL PROPERTY OWNED BY THE
VILLAGE OF OAK BROOK
This ordinance authorizes the Village to sell Fire Pumper #912, which is the Village's
second reserve pumper, a 1996 E- One /Hush Pumper, to reduce the size of the fleet.
The pumper is no longer needed for the Paid -On -Call Firefighters.
The Village has contacted B & P Apparatus, Inc. the broker that the Village had used
in the past to dispose of used fire apparatus. They have appraised the pumper to have
a market value of between $60,000 - $90,000.
The requested action was for passage of Ordinance S -1261, An Ordinance
Authorizing the Sale by Broker of Certain Items of Personal Property Owned by the
Village of Oak Brook.

8. BOARD & COMMISSION RECOMMENDATIONS
A. MCDONALD'S SPRING ROAD RESUBDIVISION NUMBER 3 - FINAL PLAT -
THREE -LOT SUBDIVISION - 2105 SPRING ROAD AND 1120 22ND STREET.
THE PROPERTY IS BOUNDED BY 22ND STREET, SPRING ROAD,
COMMERCE DRIVE AND MCDONALD' S DRIVE.
At its meeting on March 16, 2009, the Plan Commission completed its review and
deliberations on an application from the McDonald's Corporation, the owner of the
9+ acres bounded by 22nd Street on the south, Commerce Drive on the north, Spring
Road to the west and McDonald's Drive to the east seeking approval of a three -lot
final plat of subdivision. The two existing lots will be resubdivided into three lots:
The applicant is also seeking a variation to the Subdivision Regulations to include a
variation to Section 14 -6 -3K to eliminate the requirement for side and rear yard
easements. This variation request was previously requested and approved in
McDonald's Spring Road Resubdivision No. 2.
The existing McDonald's restaurant will be located on a separate lot (#I). The
remaining area will resubdivided so that the vacant land (for the proposed Gibsons
Steakhouse) and detention area that is north of the McDonald's restaurant will
become one lot ( 43) and the area to the east would become another lot (# 2).
By a vote of 6 to 1, the Plan Commission recommended approval of the proposed
McDonald's Spring Road Resubdivision No. 3 including a variation to Section 14-6 -
3K of the Subdivision Regulations, subject to the following conditions: 1) Final
Engineering approval including all comments raised by Village Engineer Durfey in ,
his memorandum dated March 13, 2009 and 2) The screening/buffering of the storm
water management facility shall meet Village requirements for design and safety at
the time of permitting.
Ordinance S -1228 which was approved allows the outdoor dining area for Gibson's.
As part of this ordinance, several conditions were attached which address a shared
parking arrangement (permitted in the Zoning Ordinance) and the requirement that
the stormwater management facility comply with all Village requirements. Because
of the proposed reconfiguration and design of the storm water management facility,
Staff will require the installation of a barrier (fence) that is at least 48- inches in height
around the perimeter of the facility

C. AWARD OF CONTRACTS
1) 2009 CROYDON LANE STORM SEWER EXTENSION PROJECT
Fifteen sealed bids were opened on Monday, April 6, 2009. Bid packages were
picked up by twenty -two companies. The Village has worked with Trine
Construction Corp. on the 2007 Westdale Gardens Water Main Project and they
have performed adequately.
This project installs approximately 300 feet of 6" storm sewer from the storm
system in front of 16 Croydon Lane to a problematic wet area along the curb and
gutter between 6 and 8 Croydon Lane. Work on this project is scheduled to begin
the last week of April and will be completed by May 29, 2009.
Motion by Trustee Wolin, seconded by Trustee Carson, that the Village Board
award a contract to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, Trine
Construction Corp., West Chicago, Illinois, subject to staff review, for the 2009
Croydon Lane Storm Sewer Extension Project based on the unit prices listed on
the bid tabulation, for an estimated total contract price of $16,980.20. ROLL

B. ORDINANCES & RESOLUTIONS — None presented.
C. AWARD OF CONTRACTS
1) DEICER SALT
The Village Board, at the February 24, 2009 meeting, approved the Village's
participation in the State's Joint Purchasing Program for deicer salt. The Village
has been notified that a price of $75 per ton has been negotiated with the current
vendor North American Salt Company for contract renewal. This is $40.86 less
than last season's price of $115.86 /ton.
As part of the contract with the State, the Village is obligated to purchase at least
70% of the requisitioned amount (1,050 tons), and the vendor is obligated to sell
us 130% of the requisitioned amount (1,950 tons) at the stated unit price. The
vendor is not obligated to honor the contract price for purchases in excess of
130 %. However, as the Village uses approximately 1,500 tons during a typical
winter season, the requisitioned amount plus an additional 500 tons which are
presently on hand should be sufficient to get through the season.
Due to salt shortages and higher prices, several municipalities have solicited
contracts for salt independently of the state bid. The prices for winter deliveries
have been between $72 and $77 per ton. With more municipalities locking in salt
supplies at earlier dates, we can expect the state bid contract to come in at higher
prices than $75 per ton. This occurred last year as Wisconsin and Michigan
awarded salt contracts prior to the State of Illinois contract bid opening.
Staff will continue to economize on salt usage. During the 2008/2009 season we
cut salt usage by over 30% through use of pre- wetting agents, closer monitoring
of pavement temperatures, and restricted salting.
As the Village is on a calendar year budget, funding for our deicer salt needs must
be split between two fiscal years, 2009 and 2010. Therefore, any deicer salt
purchased during the balance of this year will be charged against FY -09 and any
purchases after December 31, 2009 will be included and charged against FY -10.
Motion by Trustee Wolin, seconded by Trustee Carson, that a purchase order be
issued to North American Salt Company in the amount of $112,500 for 1,500 tons
of highway deicer salt based on the contract unit price of $75 per ton delivered.
ROLL CALL VOTE:
Ayes: 6 - Trustees Carson, Kennedy, Manofsky, Saiyed, Sanford and Wolin.
Nays: 0 - None.
Absent: 0 - None. Motion carried.

10. D. POINT B MARKETING PROPOSAL
The Oak Brook Hotel, Convention and Visitors Committee asked for Requests for
Quotes for a marketing campaign to promote Oak Brook hotels and businesses. A
marketing sub committee of the Oak Brook Hotel, Convention and Visitors
Committee 'reviewed the presented proposals and recommended Point B. Point B has
worked successfully with the committee for several years and familiarizing a new
company with the Village, etc. would add costs to the final figures. The funding for
this campaign is drawn from the Hotel /Motel Tax fund.

Brook Hotel, Convention and Visitors Committee presented Cindy Davis and Jason
Skurcenski.
Point B who has represented the Village for approximately seven years, presented

E. LETTER OF UNDERSTANDING — 188/22 ND STREET /TOLLWAY
DALE'S POWER POINT
A proposed Letter of Understanding generated by the Tollway senerally depicts the
parameters and cost participation for the I -88 bridges over 22" Street and the 22'd
Street roadway improvements. This LOU will be the basis for the Tollway to
develop an Intergovernmental Agreement between the Village and the Tollway,
which we understand will be presented at a Board Meeting in May.
VILLAGE OF OAK BROOK Minutes Page 10 of 13 REGULAR MEETING OF
APRIL 14, 2009
10. E. The LOU should have taken place at the very beginning stages of the project;
therefore, the Tollway has written it such that it reads as a "future project" item.
As background, please note the following:
• A Letter of Intent dated May 11, 1998 between Oak Brook and IDOT stated a
rough estimate of $12 million for the widening /reconstruction of the 22nd Street/1-
88 structure and Oak Brook would pay 1/3 of such cost.
• The Village first became aware of the Tollway's Open Road Tolling project along
1 -88 in Oak Brook in May 2005. During a meeting in December 2005, the $12
million estimate was referenced (probably not an appropriate amount at that time)
and discussion was had about reimbursing the Tollway Oak Brook's 1/3 share
over 2 years.
• At a meeting in September 2006, a rough cost estimate of $15 million was used
with 1/3 being Oak Brook's share. The Tollway stated that they generally have
payments done over a 3 year period but requested that the Village send a letter
with a payment schedule for review.
• Design engineering took place during the last half of 2006 and first half of 2007.
Construction started about July 2007. This was the first time a detailed
engineering estimate was calculated.
• In the Manager's Memo of May 30, 2007, it was noted that the Village's share
was $7.2 million and that the Village could reimburse the Tollway over a 3 -5 year
period without an interest charge.
• During the award and implementation of the 5 construction contracts, estimates
have been replaced with actual bid costs and a $1.8 million miscalculation made
by the Tollway (increase) was found. During this time, several reimbursement
options were explored.
• Oak Brook's share includes not only the bridge and 22nd Street work but also
water main replacement (about $844,000), and decorative street lights (about
$142,500).
The current total construction cost of the entire project in 2008 dollars is
$26,491,140.72. Oak Brook's share is $8,352,791.04. The 2009 Budget contains
$2.2 million in a paving account and $900,000 in a water account for this work.
The final paragraph of the LOU states that the Village will reimburse the Tollway in
equal amounts over five years, with the last reimbursement being a final payment
based upon final construction quantities. Please note that this five year payment
schedule gives Oak Brook significantly more flexibility than the original proposal of
2 -3 years.
VILLAGE OF OAK BROOK Minutes Page 11 of 13 REGULAR MEETING OF
APRIL 14, 2009
10. E. Trustee Wolin recognized the benefits that this agreement has provided the Village
over the last ten years. His concern was whether the Village was legally bound for
this project. It was felt that the Village was bound. Village Attorney Sterk agreed
with Trustee Wolin
Caelin McAtee, Senior Project Manager of the Illinois Tollway offered to answer any
questions.
Trustee Saiyed asked about the 22nd Street expansion. With the new bridge across
22nd Street the lanes will be expanded to six lanes, but at Route 83 it reduces to four
lanes. Village Engineer Durfey responded that expansion of 22nd Street was in the
plans.
Trustee Kennedy called the question.
Motion by Trustee Wolin, seconded by Trustee Kennedy, that the Village Board
approve the Village of Oak Brook/Tollway Letter of Understanding and authorize the
Village Manager to execute same. ROLL CALL VOTE:
