3) AN ORDINANCE READOPTING THE VISIONS AND VISIONS AND
MISSION STATEMENTS OF THE VILLAGE OF OAK MISSION
BROOK: STATEMENT
The ordinance re- adopts the Village Board visions and mission
statements as discussed at the Village Board's Committee-of-the-
Whole meeting of June 7, 1999. The vision statement is unchanged
from the statement that was adopted at the Village Board's August 11,
1999 meeting. The mission statement has been amended based on the
June 7, 1999 discussion. The second bullet point has been expanded
to indicate the variety of techniques used by the Village to evaluate
the quality and content of the Village programs and services.
The ordinance also provides for continuing the practice of reviewing
the Board's vision and mission in conjunction with consideration of
the Board's objectives each year.
President Bushy voiced her concern that traditionally a mission
statement states what is planned and the methods of implementation
are placed in a different document. She noted that the additional
language recommended by Trustee Caleel at the August 9, 1999
Committee -of -the -Whole meeting may not be appropriate for the
mission statement as it indicates a method of implementation.
Trustee Savino suggested that since Trustee Caleel recommended
additional language to the document and he is absent from the
meeting, to consider to table this item until Trustee Caleel may be in
attendance of a Village Board meeting to discuss this item further.
Motion by Trustee Savino, seconded by Trustee Butler, to table this
agenda item until the next regular Board of Trustee's Meeting on
August 24, 1999. VOICE VOTE: Motion carried.
C. AWARD OF CONTRACTS:
1) CONTRACT PARAMEDIC SERVICES: PARAMEDIC
CONTRACT SERV.
On June 22, 1999 the Village Board approved waiving
competitive bidding for supplemental contract
firefighter /paramedics and authorized the Village Staff to
VILLAGE OF OAK BROOK Minutes 4 of 15 August 10, 1999
negotiate renewal of the contract with Paramedic Services of
Illinois (PSI).
The contract provides for five contract firefighter /paramedics at an
annual base cost of $275,396 ($55,079 each), as compared to our
current annual cost of $262,525 ($52,505 each). For this amount,
PSI provides 24 -hour coverage 121.66 days per year per contract
employee with each contract FF/PM working a 24 -hour on and
48 -hour off shift. This price also includes the associated costs of
insurance, uniforms, fire gear, benefits, etc.
The proposed base contract price reflects a total increase of 4.9%
over our current fees. The increase is due to increased PSI costs
for insurance, salaries, benefits, and retirement, as well as
additional protective clothing and OSHA evaluations required for
all Oak Brook Fire Department personnel. PSI has agreed, as in
previous contracts, that for the duration of the contract through
August 31, 2002, annual increases will be based on the Chicago -
Gary-Lake County Consumer Price Index as published for June
30" each year by the U.S. Department of Labor. The following is
a brief history of those increases since 1996:
• 1996 2.6%
• 1997 2.6%
• 1998 2.7%
• 1999 1.7%
As in previous contracts, the Village will have the ability to add
additional contract firefighter /paramedics should the need arise.
The new contract also provides that the costs for additional
minimal firefighter /paramedic training requirements and the
resulting overtime will be born by the Village, as well as the
additional salary costs for a required one -week orientation of all
new PSI personnel. This results in an estimated average cost of
$2,275 per contract firefighter /paramedic in addition to the base
contract price. The total approximate cost per contract
firefighter /paramedic including these estimates will be $57,354.
The comparative costs (including benefits and other expenses) for
a full -time Village firefighter /paramedic ranges from $58,595 to
$76,241, depending on years of service and merit pay increases.
VILLAGE OF OAK BROOK Minutes 5 of 15 August 10, 1999
In an effort to further level the playing field between full -time
Village and Contract firefighter /paramedics with regard to
qualifications and training, the following is a summary of the
substantive changes to the contract:
• Section 1 Minimum one -week orientation for new
PSI/PMs before being assigned to 24/48 -hour
shift.
• Section 4 Minimum additional certifications and training
for contract FF/PMs required within two years.
• Section 7 Deleted pre- requisite of two years experience as
a paramedic (not required of Village FF/PMs).
• Section 11 Added specialty team participation and special
duty assignments not filled by Village FF/PMs.
• Section 12 Added OSHA - required evaluations and SCBA
mask fit test minimum requirements.
Some consideration was given to additional pre - employment
testing procedures being incorporated into the contract, however
the cost and associated logistics were not feasible. Additionally,
as PSI pointed out, it is important to remember that contract
personnel are at -will employees and not governed by the rules of
the Board of Fire and Police Commissioners.
Paramedic Services of Illinois has 25 years experience in the
business of contractual paramedic service and has consistently
provided high quality firefighter /paramedics to the Village of Oak
Brook since 1989. Based on their past performance and the
established Village policy of supplementing full -time
firefighter /paramedics with contract firefighter /paramedics, it is
Fire Chief Jarvis' recommendation that the Village President and
Board of Trustees award the contract for firefighter /paramedics to
the Paramedic Services of Illinois.
Trustee Savino recommended that this item be tabled until all the
Trustees are present to address this item.
Motion by Trustee Savino, seconded by Trustee Craig to table this
agenda item to the next regular Board of Trustee's Meeting of
August 24, 1999. VOICE VOTE: Motion carried.

Most of our major construction projects have already been bid. Our recent
activity has been with RFQ's (request for qualifications). Patrick Engineering
has been accepted for the Timber Trails/Merry Lane drainage study.
Library & Community Events: Trustee Butler - The summer reading program
ended on July 31". Just over 11,400 items were circulated during the reading
program time period. One hundred sixty children, teens and 55 adults
participated. Sixteen children completed all twelve "treks" around the Library.
This means that these children read either 60 or 120 books each depending on
their individual reading levels.
The Youth Services department has created a new "Bibliography Notebook"
which includes 116 bibliographies on topics of interest to the young. This
information is available for direct use by the public or as reader's advisory and
reference help using staff assistance.
The Library has subscribed to "Wage", an internet -based "books -in- print"
resource and an acquisitions tool which coordinates with the acquisitions
module on the Dynix automation system. Reference and Technical Services
staff are integrating it into the Library's acquisitions workflow.
The Library staff continues to seek new and better ways to use existing space
for the expanding collection. For example, the Wage subscription makes it
possible to eliminate the multi - volume "Books -In- Print" subscription. This
opens about thirty linear inches of shelf space. Although it is unfortunate that
staff must be looking at inches, it is heartening to know that work on the new
building's final design is continuing.
Autumn Festival meeting is scheduled for August 12, 1999 to discuss the
preview party. Autumn Festival will include a vendor section of arts, crafts
and gourmet foods.
Public Safety: Village Manager Veitch - On July 27, 1999 the annual
D.A.R.E. conference was held in Peoria, Illinois. Office Mary Jo Nugent and
Officer John'Jacobs attended the conference with 250 other officers from the
State participating. The activities included workshops such as classroom
management, ongoing violence, new drug trends and school safety issues.
The Oak Brook Police Department will begin commencing the second session
of the Citizen Police Academy on September 1, 1999 and will meet every
Wednesday evening. Letters will be going out to the applicants to confirm
their spot in the academy this week. The academy will end with graduation on
November 3, 1999.
On the night of July 19, 1999, Patrolman Peterson made a traffic stop of a
vehicle for speeding on Route 38. During the course of this traffic stop, he
determined that the driver was suspended. Patrolman Peterson placed the
driver under arrest and then conducted a search of the vehicle. It was during
the course of this search that he discovered 3.5 grams of cocaine in the purse of
a female passenger. The female was placed under arrest and was later charged
with felony possession of cocaine.
VILLAGE OF OAK BROOK Minutes 10 of 15 August 10, 1999
This traffic stop and felony arrest are a credit to the officer and the department
and are worthy of this Honorable Mention.
Month of July, 1999 fire calls totaled 110, with Mutual Aid given seven (7)
times and received .two (2) times. Ambulance calls totaled 84, with Mutual
Aid given four (4) times and received three (3) times.
Chief Jarvis reported on July 19`h two members of the TRS (Technical Rescue
Specialist) team responded to Wheaton with the TRS trailer for a report of a
child in a sewer. Oak Brook personnel assisted the staging sector in
deployment of equipment. A reconnaissance team determined there was no
one in the sewer and a rescue was not needed. (This was a MABAS (Mutual
Aid Box Alarm System) Division 12 TRS Box which means that all
departments with a TRS team within Division 12 are called to respond.)
On July 25' the Oak Brook Dive team responded to a MABAS 12 Dive Box in
Lisle. There was a report that a canoe had possibly capsized with boaters
aboard. Divers from Oak Brook, Lisle and Addison conducted a search of the
last scene point. No victims were found. An abandoned canoe was found
floating with life preservers on shore. Lisle Police are investigating the
incident.
On July 28' fire units responded to a vehicle in the retention pond west of Oak
Brook Bank. A Dive Box was immediately called but the two on -duty Oak
Brook divers, as well as both ambulance crews, were committed on a full arrest
(heart attack). Fortunately, contact was made with the vehicle owner who
stated the vehicle was unoccupied. It appears that the owner pulled into the
parking lot and went to the Bank without properly setting his emergency brake.
The car rolled into the pond and settled about 30 feet off shore. Oak Brook
divers were later able to secure the vehicle with a cable line and it was towed
from the water.
Three members of the department attended a Flashover Survival training
course in Buffalo Grove. The class covered the dangers and recognition of
flashover and backdraft. The firefighters were able to experience flashover in a
fully enclosed flashover container wearing their full protective clothing. July
fire training consisted of simulated fire scenarios at Butler School where
firefighters deployed hose lines and conducted rescues. Since the schools in
Oak Brook are among the few buildings in town not protected by automatic
sprinklers, this drill was especially important. The Village has asked the
School Board to consider sprinkled, but it has not occurred. August drills will
include similar fire training at Brook Forest School on August 10, 11, and 12,
1999.
Three CPR classes were given to 20 people. Freddie the Fire Truck spoke
about safety to 40 youngsters at the Christian Center. Blood Pressure
screening continued at the Oak Brook Club — a total of 40 people had their
blood pressures taken.

Public Works & Engineering: Trustee Craig — Street division — The majority
of the street division's efforts have been concentrated on placing and
compacting screenings (crushed stone) on our pedestrian/bicycle pathway
system.. Additionally, crews continue with roadside brush cutting and have
repaired three (3) curb inlets. As scheduled, the street sweeper has been out
daily for the past month.
Water division — Crews continue with our residential water meter replacement
program and significant manpower has been utilized locating water main lines
for various utility companies performing work throughout the Village.
Due to the excessive heat and lack of rain, water pumpage for July (194 million
gallons) was the fourth highest single month pumpage since 1975. The highest
single month pumpage record of 201 million gallons was set in August of
1991, followed by 200 million gallons in July of 1991 and 199 million gallons
in June of 1992.
1999 Paving and Water Main Project — In Yorkshire Woods, installation of
concrete shoulders has begun which should take about two weeks. Drainage
issues have been discussed with many residents and some fine tuning has been
accomplished. On Commerce Drive, McDonald's Drive and Clearwater Drive,
curb replacement is complete. On the other residential streets, backFlling of
curb areas is continuing and sod will be placed later when weather conditions
are better.
Midwest Road/I -88 Bridge — Work is substantially complete with minor items
remaining.
1999 Safety Pathway Project — The Village is seeking permission to advertise
for bids at this meeting and should construct this project later this fall.
Village Clerk: Clerk Gonnella — Introduced the new Deputy Clerk, Rosanna
Furman, to the Village Board. The renewal process for tobacco product
licenses began this month.
Village President: President Bushy — President Bushy acknowledged the
passing of Oakbrook Terrace Mayor Kallas' wife and expressed condolences to
the family.
Bath & Tennis Club - This week marked the official end of our summer swim
and tennis team competitions. The tennis banquet was held August 2 "d and the
swim and dive banquet on August 5`�. Both were well attended and the
participants and coaches alike are already looking forward to next year.
Our annual family Luau was quite successful with a repeat performance by the
Barefoot Hawaiians. 160 people enjoyed the family night with other favorite
activities such as the face painters and tattoo artists.
A second family activity was held on Saturday, July 31st. It was our first
overnight campout and consisted of movie watching while floating in the pool
and then spending the night. It was well received for being our first such
venture and several families have expressed an interest in repeating this
activity next summer.

Polo continues in full swing with matches every Sunday at 1:00 and 3:00 p.m.
August V was perhaps the most successful day of the season. Polo will
continue until September 5' so if you have not attended a match yet this year,
you need to get a day scheduled.
Several staff members met with representatives from the Park District to
discuss the possibility of having a competitive year round swim team. A lot of
ideas were discussed and the Bath & Tennis staffers created a questionnaire
that was handed out to members of their swim team. The purpose of the
survey was to get a feel for the amount and level of interest of such a venture
and hopefully will give some direction for the next meeting.
Golf Club - As of year -to -date, there have been 26,079 rounds of golf played,
down 3,028 from last year due to the inclement weather earlier this year.
Green fees collected year to date total $476,099, Cart fees total $156,282,
Driving Range fees total $77,806, Lounge Sales total $69,306 and Pro Shop
sales total $39,706.
10. UNFINISHED AND NEW BUSINESS (Final Action Not Anticipated):
A. COMPREHENSIVE AMENDMENT TO THE TRAFFIC
REGULATIONS — APPENDIX C:
As part of the recodification of the Village Code, the Village Attorney
has drafted an ordinance adopting a comprehensive amendment to the
Traffic Regulations of the Village. By adopting the Illinois Vehicle
Code in our ordinance and deleting antiquated provisions from our
existing code, staff was able to trim approximately 100 pages in
recodifying this appendix.
Village Attorney Martens appreciated the assistance from Chief
Pisarek and Sergeant Srch in reviewing and editing this appendix.
Attorney Martens also appreciated the help of Director of Public
Works Meranda and Public Works General Foreman Patchin in
updating various schedules of traffic control signs.
President Bushy inquired if parking is feasible on Kensington Road or
Kensington Court as the United States Post Office has indicated that
they do not have enough parking on their property so their employees
park in the lot that is for their customers.
Village Manager Veitch commented that staff could review
Kensington Court as a possibility but it would need to be severely
restricted according to the times of the day which creates an
enforcement burden that would need evaluation. Kensington Road is
a four lane road where the width is limited and would not meet
parking requirements. President Bushy asked if hours could be

REGULATIONS -
APPENDIX C
developed for parking on Kensington Court from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00
p.m. Staff will review this further.
Village Manager Veitch noted that the Village has offered several
times to work with the Postal Service in addressing how additional
parking could be developed on their property. This is not in direct
purview of the Postmaster and the regional Postal Service has not
responded to this request. Ultimately this problem needs to be
resolved by the Postal Service themselves.
Motion by Trustee Savino, seconded by Trustee Craig that this item
be placed on the active agenda of the Village Board of Trustee's
Meeting on August 24, 1999. VOICE VOTE: Motion carried.
B. APPLICATION FOR CLASS A -1 LIQUOR LICENSE — OPUS
