Trustee Craig spoke of the tree removal on Midwest Road due to the roadway
expansion especially along the Brook Forest subdivision. He inquired if the
$119,000 funding for the landscape improvements budgeted for the entrance
and exit ramps on 31" Street and Route 83 could be used for plantings along
Midwest Road next to the Brook Forest subdivision.
President Bushy commented that upon completion of this roadway project,

Trustee Korin had previously indicated that the Brook Forest homeowners
association is also working with a landscape architect to develop new
entryways into the subdivision.

6. ITEMS REMOVED FROM CONSENT AGENDA:
Trustee Savino requested Agenda Item 5. C.1. Change Orders #7- #9 — Bath &
Tennis Clubhouse Renovation and Expansion be removed for further
discussion. He noted that our contract funds are increasing the total cost of the
project and that our residents could misunderstand this. He requested that the
Contingency Fund be used for the change orders for unforeseen circumstances.
Village Manager Veitch explained that this increases the contract with the
General Contractor. The funds for this come from the Contingency Fund.
Village Attorney Martens explained that State Statute requires the Village
Board to pass on change orders in excess of $10,000 or where a change would
result in a thirty (30) day additional time frame to complete what is required
and to make findings as indicated in the recommendations. Village Manager
Veitch explained that two of the change orders were for a pipe discovered
underneath the building that needed to be relocated, and that part of the
building didn't have a foundation and one needed to be installed.

Resolution #2001- TC -AG -EX 1 -R -778 approves and authorizes the
execution of a proposed agreement with the City of Oakbrook Terrace
and certain commercial owners (Oakbrook Terrace Office Tower and
Drury Lane Theatre) for certain public safety and roadway
improvements at Spring Road/Castle Drive at 16th Street. Oakbrook
Terrace and the private parties will fund and construct improvements at
the intersection of Spring Road and 16th Street with said improvements
to be turned over to the Village for maintenance.
The owners of Oakbrook Terrace Tower will relinquish their rights to
full access via the intersection of 16th Street and Castle Drive, thereby
clearing the way for the Village to construct a barrier median at that
location and prohibit left turns into or out of Castle Drive. Trustee
Miologos suggested the feasibility of planting a tree in the barrier
median. Trustee Savino inquired if it could be a landscaped median.
Village Manager Veitch remarked that this would be determined by the
width of the median if it is sufficient to landscape the barrier median.
Village Engineer Durfey explained that near the intersection there isn't
sufficient width but there could be plantings further from the
intersection. Village Manager Veitch reiterated that where it is feasible
plantings would occur.
Motion by Trustee Miologos, seconded by Trustee Craig, to adopt
Resolution #2001 -TC -AG -EXI -R -778, "A Resolution Approving and
Authorizing Execution of a Public Safety and Roadway Improvement
Agreement with the City Of Oakbrook Terrace and Certain

The resolution authorizes the execution of a revised Agreement
between the Village and the Illinois State Toll Highway Authority to
provide emergency response to various portions of I -294 and I -88. The
Agreement is substantially the same as the Village's existing
Agreement except for the addition of portions of I -294 and I -88
formerly covered by the Yorkfield Fire Department. The Yorkfield
Fire Department (YFD) will be dissolved in the upcoming months and
the Illinois State Toll Highway Authority has requested that the Village
of Oak Brook provide emergency response to those areas of the
Tollway formerly covered by YFD since Oak Brook has the best
access.
Motion by Trustee Caleel, seconded by Trustee Butler, to adopt
Resolution #2001 -FD -AG -EXI -R -779, "A Resolution Authorizing

INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT FOR PUMPER AGRMNT

An Intergovernmental Agreement for Equipment between the Village
and the Darien- Woodridge Fire Protection District (DWFPD) would
allow the Village to house the reserve engine number 911 at the
DWFPD Fire Station at 2475 75th Street. The Village of Oak Brook
Fire Department maintains two reserve engines in addition to the two
primary engines. One reserve engine is normally housed at each of the
two fire stations. On or about June 1St, the rear sixteen feet of the
apparatus bays of Fire Station One will be demolished as part of the
Municipal Complex Project renovation. Until such time as the new
Fire Station is completed, there will not be room to store both of the
reserve engines. Darien- Woodridge Fire Protection District has a need
for a reserve engine and has the room to house Engine 911, so an
Agreement has been drafted to facilitate this mutually beneficial
temporary arrangement.

As part of the Agreement, the Village will allow DWFPD to use the
engine for fire suppression and training activities unless the engine is
needed by the Village, in which case the Village's needs will take
precedence. (e.g. in the event that one of Oak Brook's primary engines
becomes inoperable, the Fire Department would retrieve Engine 911
from DWFPD and place it back in service in Oak Brook.)
DWFPD will provide and pay for routine maintenance, but
extraordinary maintenance will be provided and paid for by the Village.
DWFPD will also furnish the Village with proof of comprehensive
general liability and property damage insurance.
The Agreement expires on June 1, 2003, or sooner with at least 30 days
written notice by either party at any time.
Motion by Trustee Caleel, seconded by Trustee Savino, to approve

D. ACCEPTANCE OF ACTUARIAL REPORTS - POLICE & AcrRL RPT
FIREFIGHTERS' PENSION FUNDS AND APPROVAL OF THE POL & FIRE
2001 VILLAGE CONTRIBUTION RATES TO POLICE & PENS FUNDS
FIREFIGHTERS' PENSION FUNDS
Police Pension Fund: The Police Pension Fund was 101.5% funded as
of December 31, 2000 with a decrease of 3.8% from the funded
percentage in 1999. The decrease in funding is primarily attributed to
the retroactive impact of Public Act 91 -0939, which was signed into
law by Governor Ryan on February 1, 2001. This legislation is similar
to the fire pension legislation passed in 1999 and provides for enhanced
pension benefits, the most significant being the increase in the accrual
rate from 2.0% of salary to 2.5% for the 20th through 30th year of
service. The actuary has recommended a Village contribution of
11.49% of payroll for 2001, an increase of 1.42% from the amount
recommended in 2000. The increase is due primarily to the before
mentioned benefit enhancements. A contribution of 11.5% was
assumed in the preparation of the 2001 budget. To date in 2001 the
Village has continued to contribute to the Police Pension Fund at the
2000 rate of 10.07 %. The past practice has been that the contribution
rate is made retroactive to January 1St. Accordingly, if the contribution
rate of 11.49% is approved, a retroactive payment of approximately
$11,500 will be made to the Police Pension Fund.
Firefighters' Pension Fund: The actuarial report indicates that the
Firefighters' Pension was 96.2% funded as of December 31, 2000, a
decrease of 4.6% from the funded percentage in 1999.
VILLAGE OF OAK BROOK Minutes Page 8 of 14 May 22, 2001
7 D.
This marks the first time in several years that the Firefighters' Pension
Fund has been less then 100% funded. The last time the study was
performed the Fund's funded percentage decreased from 110.9% to
100.8% due to new benefit legislation. The decrease of 4.6% for 2000
was due to lower than expected investment income, mostly attributed to
declining returns for the equity markets in 2000. Even though the Fund
is no longer 100% funded, its funded percentage would still rank
among the best in the State.
Pursuant to state statute, the Fund is not required to be 100% funded
until 2033. The Fund remains in excellent financial condition. For this
study there were two minor changes in the actuarial assumptions that
were used. With more new hires over the last several years resulting in
more employees moving through the pay grades, the salary increase
assumption was increased from 5.0% to 5.25°/x.
The other minor change was the actuary reverted back to the retirement
rate tables used by the State of Illinois for its actuarial calculations.
The actuary has recommended a Village contribution of 17.76% of
payroll for 2001, an increase of 1.23% of payroll from the 2000 rate.
Since the Fund is now less than 100% funded, an amortization payment
is now required in order for the Fund to be 100% funded by 2033 (in
prior years the Village actually received a credit on its contribution
since it was overfunded). Inclusion of the amortization payment is the
cause for most of the increased contribution rate. A contribution of
16.5% was assumed in the preparation of the 2001 budget. The
difference of 1.26% will be made up in other areas of the Fire
Department Budget. To date in 2001, the Village has continued to
contribute to the Firefighters' Pension Fund at the 2000 rate of 16.53 %.
The past practice has been that the contribution rate is made retroactive
to January 1St. Accordingly, if the contribution rate of 17.76% is
approved, a retroactive payment of approximately $8,400 will be made
to the Firefighters' Pension Fund.
Motion by Trustee Craig, seconded by Trustee Caleel, that the Village
Board accepts the actuarial reports of the Police Pension Fund and
Firefighters' Pension Fund and that the Village Board approves a
Village contribution of 11.49% of payroll for police officers and
17.76% for firefighters retroactive to January 1, 2001.

President Bushy indicated that Assistant Village Manager Crotty noted
a correction to Agenda Item 7. A. 1) Appointments. The memorandum
regarding this agenda item incorrectly stated Michael Jorgensen as the
General Manager of the Wyndham Drake Hotel. Kerry Mickelson is
the General Manager of that hotel and should have been appointed to
the Oak Brook Hotel, Convention & Visitors Committee.
Motion by Trustee Caleel, seconded by Trustee Butler, to approve
Kerry Mickelson, General Manager, The Wyndham Drake Hotel to the
Oak Brook Hotel, Convention & Visitors Committee with his term
expiring Februrary 28, 2002. VOICE VOTE: Motion carried.
INFORMATION & UPDATES:
A. VILLAGE PRESIDENT
President Bushy discussed the Defined Contribution Pension Plan for
the downstate Police which was discussed by the DuPage Mayors and
Managers Conference's Legislative Committee. This type of
legislation would be subject to the agreed bill process and to the
procedure in Springfield whereby a recommendation of the Pension
Laws Commission is necessary in order for a bill to even be considered.
There would need to be an agreement between employers and
employee groups that this is the method to follow. The difficulty is
getting the employee groups over the fear of defined contribution as a
plan. The committee that developed this plan has hired the Mercer
organization to assist them in this process.
President Bushy attended the Metropolitan Mayors Caucus with Mayor
Daley reporting on the tax avoidance bill.

CONSOLIDATION
At the Village Board meeting of May 8, 2001, the Board tabled a
decision on the subject of Lot 82 in the Forest Gate Subdivision with
the parcel at 1220 Oak Brook Road which the DuPage Mayors and
Managers Conference have a contract to purchase from the Village of
Oak Brook. It was tabled so that Trustees Korin and Miologos could
review the issue which was discussed at the Board's Committee-of-the -
Whole meeting on May 21, 2001. DuPage Mayors and Managers
Conference could waive the provision of a Plat of Consolidation and
proceed with the closing of the contract.

Motion by Trustee Savino, seconded by Trustee Caleel, to return to the
table to discuss the motion to authorize Village Attorney to prepare
resolution for DuPage Mayors and Managers Conference (1220 Oak
Brook Road) for a Plat of Consolidation. VOICE VOTE: Motion
carried.
Trustee Caleel remarked that residents had contacted him and voiced
their disappointment that the Village would lose control of this
property. The Village has signed an agreement with DuPage Mayors
and Managers Conference and has an obligation in that regard. He
suggested that in the view of the attitude of a good portion of our
community, the Village would prefer to retain ownership of that
property. However, if the Conference would like to proceed with the
improvements that would expand their facility, the Village would
entertain an extension of their lease to accommodate their expense.
President Bushy recognized Lynn Montei, Executive Director, DuPage
Mayors and Managers Conference. Ms. Montei addressed the Village
Board in response to their comments. She commented that the
Conference has been through many months of process, public meetings,
open debate and public hearings discussing this issue at length. The
Conference has provided materials, answered questions and negotiated
in good faith.
It is the intention of their organization to continue to pursue the
agreement that the Conference negotiated which is a purchase
agreement. The DuPage County communities have voted to support
this 20 -year debt service.
Twelve home -rule communities have opted to loan the Conference
$125,000 each and intergovernmental agreements are in place with all
of these entities who have deliberated on the financial arrangements
based upon the negotiation and purchase agreement with the Village of
Oak Brook. All of those mayors have contacted twenty separate
legislators to request their consideration of grant funds to assist this
project. It is unlikely that they wish to revisit the agreement but she has
not spoken with the Conference's Board of Directors and she will
discuss this with them as soon as possible.
Village Attorney Martens indicated the motion is to authorize the
Village Attorney to prepare a Resolution on the Plat of Consolidation.
Do you wish to continue to table the Plat of Consolidation?

B. RECOMMENDATION - ROUSONELOS - (3103 YORK ROAD)- RECOMNO -
VARIATION VAR - 3103 YRK
ROUSONELOS
The Zoning Board of Appeals, by a vote of 5 to 0, has recommended
approval of the request from Emmanuel and Irene Rousonelos for a
variation to the setback on the York Road side of this corner lot to
permit construction of a new home on the property.
This property is currently improved with a small home and detached
garage that is presently nonconforming in respect to lot size, front yard
setback along York Road and front yard setback along 31" Street. The
requested variation would reduce the required 100' setback along York
Road to approximately 71' -7" to accommodate a new home which is
consistent in size and scale with other homes in the immediate area.
In recommending approval of this request, the Zoning Board of
Appeals found that the petitioner has satisfactorily addressed the factors
required for approval of a variation.
In particular, it was found that the property owners' hardship was not of
their own making and is due to the unique circumstance of the property
having frontage along two major roadways. Further, the Board found
that the variation would not alter the essential character of the
neighborhood.
Peter Coules, attorney for the petitioner, presented information to the
Village Board of the hardships concerning the property.
Motion by Trustee Savino, seconded by Trustee Caleel, that the Village
Board concurred with the recommendation of the Zoning Board of
Appeals and authorize the Village Attorney to draft the necessary
ordinance for final consideration at the Village Board meeting on
June 12, 2001. VOICE VOTE. Motion carried.
