for the new members of the Zoning Board of Appeals and Plan
Commission with the new Community Development Director and the
Village Attorney to better understand their roles, how the boards
function and how their recommendations are made to the Board of
Trustees.
President Bushy stated this is an excellent recommendation and staff
will develop this. She commented on the character, quality, education
and training of the resident candidates that wish to serve our Village is
very exciting. The biographical sketches of those candidates not
chosen will be kept on file for consideration when any future
vacancies occur on our boards or commission.

MISSION
STATEMENT
The ordinance re- adopts the Village Board vision and mission VILLAGE OF
statements. The ordinance was tabled at the August 10, 1999 OAK BROOK
Village Board meeting in order to permit the full Board to further
consider the amendments suggested for the mission statement.
The vision statement has not been changed from the statement
that was adopted on August 11, 1998. The mission statement is
now presented in two versions (1) as amended based on June 7,
1999 Committee -of -the -Whole meeting and further based on the
August 9, 1999 Committee -of -the -Whole meeting.
The thrust of the amendments was to expand the second and
'fourth bullet points to indicate the variety of techniques used by
the Village to evaluate the quality and content of Village
programs and services and the means through which the Village
consults with and involves citizens.
VILLAGE OF OAK BROOK Minutes

Page 4 of 16 August 24, 1999
At the August 10, 1999 regular Village Board meeting, President
Bushy raised the question of whether it is truly appropriate to
embellish the "what" statements embodied in the mission with the
"how" language contained in the amendments. The means and
methods might be accurate for today, but will (and should) change
and evolve over time. She questioned whether the "how"
language really belongs in a mission statement.
As in the past, 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.
Trustee Caleel remarked that he agreed with President Bushy's
comments regarding the techniques as being restrictive and the
mission statement as provided without the means of
accomplishing them is more desirable.
Motion by Trustee Caleel, seconded by Trustee Savino to approve

ADOPTING VARIOUS PROVISIONS OF THE REVISED
COUNTY OF DUPAGE COUNTYWIDE STORMWATER
AND FLOOD PLAIN ORDINANCE:
At the Village Board meeting of February 11, 1992, the Board
approved Ordinance S -72S, an ordinance adopting the various
provisions of the DuPage Countywide Stormwater and Flood
Plain Ordinance. At the Village Board meeting of August 23,
1994, the Board approved Ordinance 94 -S W -EX 1 -S -780, an
ordinance adopting various provisions of the revised DuPage
County Countywide Stormwater and Flood Plain Ordinance. At
the Village Board meeting of January 13, 1998, the Board
approved Ordinance 9S- SWM -EXI -S -891, an ordinance adopting
various provisions of the revised DuPage County Countywide
Stormwater and Flood Plain Ordinance. On June 23, 1999, the
County adopted another revised ordinance (4" revision) to
enhance the old ordinance where needed. This latest County
Ordinance becomes effective September 1, 1999 and the Village
needs to revise our ordinances accordingly by that date to remain
a complete waiver community.
The ordinance, drafted by Attorney Martens, adopts relevant
portions of the revised County Ordinance and provides that the
County's provisions supersede any provisions of the Oak Brook
Code which may be in conflict or where the County Ordinance
has more stringent standards.
It is staff's hope to present a comprehensive revision to our Code
relating to storrilwater matters within the not too distant future.
That revision will delete any conflicting portions of our Code and
place all stori»water issues in one chapter of our Code (they are

presently spread over several chapters). That revisions will also
streamline the process of stormwater permitting to a staff permit
process rather than the current special use /public hearing process.
The concept will be that, once the Village Board has adopted the
regulations and requirements, the staff can then enforce them
within a permit context. Of course, all variation requests will still
be heard by the Oversight Committee (the Zoning Board of
Appeals) and the Village Board.
The brunt of the revisions relate to a new detention variance fee
program which allows a fee to be paid in lieu of providing
detention when a variance is warranted and granted. Staff will be
reviewing the possibility of Oak Brook adopting its own detention
variance fee program.
Motion by Trustee Caleel, seconded by Trustee Craig to approve

Various Provisions of the Revised County of DuPage Countywide
Stormwater and Flood Plain Ordinance," as presented and waive

President Bushy acknowledged Village Engineer Durfey's active
role with the municipal engineers in DuPage County that discuss
the practical application of the stormwater ordinance, the
ordinance itself and how it applies to a community. These
engineers have met monthly for the last year and a half to study
the effects it has on our local communities. She commended him
-for his time of our Village's involvement in such an important
issue.

The Collection Management Policy and the disposal of collection
materials portion of the Illinois Local Library Act were first
adopted by the Board in 1995. In conformance with Serving Our
Public, the Illinois public library benchmarking tool, this policy
requires biennial review by the Library Commission with
revisions to be approved by the Village Board.

responsibility for collection management and sets parameters
including subject areas, formats and depth of collection. It also
states the criteria used by the institution for selecting, replacing,
withdrawing and disposing of collection materials. It addresses
gifts, requests for purchasing materials, requests for reconsidering
materials already in the collection and intellectual freedom
philosophy.
The Library Director and staff have worked through this policy
and recommended changes which were adopted by the Library
Commission at its meeting on July 20, 1999.

Trustee Savino discussed trying to limit any access to
pornographic material when the new Library has internet
capabilities. He asked that Library Director Martin bring to the
Village Board for their review various options that are available.
Library Director Martin discussed one option of Library cards that
identify access levels to the internet. The rights and
responsibilities of individual users of the Library is addressed in
the general policy that will come before the Village Board for
their review next year. The present policy before the Board
addresses the purchasing of materials, types of materials, criteria
for keeping materials and selection retention.
Library Director Martin explained that various statements are
included in the policy before the Board in order to qualify for
state or federal grants.

C. AWARD OF CONTRACTS:
1) CONTRACT PARAMEDIC SERVICES:
On June 22, 1999 the Village Board approved waiving
competitive bidding for supplemental contract
firefighter /paramedics and authorized the Village Staff to
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. Tile 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 C011sumer Price Index as published for June
30`h 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.
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.
Motion by Trustee Kenny, seconded by Trustee Caleel, based on
the established Village policy of supplementing full -time
firefighter /paramedics with contract firefighter /paramedics, that
the Village award the contract for firefighter /paramedics to
Paramedic Services of Illinois. ROLL CALL VOTE.
Ayes: 6 — Trustees Butler, Caleel, Craig, Kenny, McInerney a

Nays: 0 — None.
Absent: 0 — None.
President Bushy acknowledged that the cost savings to the
Village for these contract services versus a top -of -grade
firefighter /paramedic is $94,435 a year.
Trustee Savino commented that there is an advantage to having
these contract firefighter /paramedics as they train with our regular
personnel, know our equipment and there isn't a loss of staffing
time as they are not sent to school. He stated that one of our
firefighter /paramedics discussed with him that his overtime was a
burden to his family and the contract personnel would eliminate
excessive overtime hours.
2) SELF - CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS — FIRE
DEPARTMENT:
Funding in the amount of $40,000 is available in the 1999 Budget
(account #721 -9010) for the purpose of purchasing and upgrading
SCBA equipment.
OSHA regulations adopted by the Illinois Department of Labor
(IDOL) and NFPA (National Fire Protection Association)
standards require that all firefighters be fit- tested for SCBA
facepiece on an annual basis. The purpose of the fit -test is to
insure that each firefighter uses the proper size facepiece in order
to prevent breathing smoke and hazardous fumes. Since
VILLAGE OF OAK BROOK Minutes
Page 12 of 16 August 24, 1999

TAINED

APPARATUS
firefighters frequently transfer between stations and/or shifts, it is
impractical to stock all sizes of facepieces at each station on each
apparatus. In addition, for purposes of infection control, it is
desirable for each firefighter to be issued their own SCBA
facepiece in much the same way as they are issued individual sets
of protective fire gear, boots, gloves, and helmets.
The total number of facepieces needed is 37 at a unit cost of $593
each, for a total of $21,941. Paramedic Services, Inc. will
reimburse us for five of the new facepieces for their personnel.
Air One Equipment, Inc. has been designated by MSA as the sole
supplies of MSA self - contained breathing apparatus used by the
Oak Brook Fire Department. For purposes of training, firefighter
safety, and SCBA repair and maintenance, equipment
standardization is essential. It is not recommended that different
types and brands of SCBA be intermingled.
Motion by Trustee Kenny, seconded by Trustee Caleel, to waive
competitive bidding and authorize Village Staff to issue a
purchase order for 37 individual SCBA (self - contained breathing
apparatus) facepieces to Air One Equipment, Inc. for an amount
not -to- exceed $21,941. ROLL CALL VOTE.

D. RATIFICATION OF LIBRARY PROJECT DESIGN CONSENSUS:
It was a consensus of the Village Board at their Committee-of-the-
Whole meeting of August 9, 1999 that the architect be authorized to
proceed into .construction drawings for the project based on the
following:
• The curvilinear design that was approved at the concept stage and
developed through the design development stage is to be retained,
including the dome, sunshade, and access floor features.
• The architect and construction manager will continue to refine
various aspects of the design and attempt to further reduce the
estimated project cost. The goal is a final design/pre -bid project
cost estimate not exceeding $5.0 million.

PROJECT
DESIGN
• Value engineering efforts will be concentrated on reducing the
costs of the access floor and HVAC systems and the sunshade
element, in addition to general items, with the possibility of
considering aluminum for the sunshade and window wall in lieu of
stainless steel.
• The architect will revise the color palette based on a new carpet
recommendation and green window glass. The recommended
access floor system comes with a variety of carpet possibilities.
Once a carpet is selected for recommendation, the palette will be
revised. In general, the objective will be a palette of warmer
colors than those presented on August 9, 1999. A new palette will
be presented to the Board as soon as possible.
Further, the Board stressed that the resources to be committed by
the Village are based on the cost estimate that accompanied the
concept design presented to the voters in connection with the
November, 1996 advisory referendum plus reasonable allowances
for the sunshade element and additional parking, inflated
commensurate with average earnings on invested assets from
November 1996 to the present. The Village Manager has indicated
that this amount is approximately $4.2 million.
Motion by Trustee Butler, seconded by Trustee Caleel, to ratify the
consensus reached at the August 9, 1999 Committee -of -the -Whole
meeting concerning the Library Project design.
VOICE VOTE: Motion carried. '
Trustee Savino requested reconsideration of the landscape element,
the fountain, to the front of the proposed Library rather than to the
side of the building. He asked that this be discussed again when
Architect Carow comes before the Board of Trustees with the
revised changes.
President Bushy concurred with this recommendation as she
announced there is a group of Oak Brook residents that have taken
an interest in funding the fountain as a possible dedicated
memorial. She noted that Library Director Martin, in speaking
with her on this issue, has asked Architect Carow that electric and
water be drawn for the front of the building. The Board will be
updated on the interest of the fountain when it is available.

newspaper.
Regarding the DuPage Mayors and Managers Conference, Legislative
Committee meeting President indicated they discussed Governor
Ryan's recent rejection of non -home rule communities ability to go to
referendum for approval of additional sales tax by adding in '/4 percent
increments up to %2 percent. That bill passed both houses of the
legislature in Springfield and was vetoed by Governor Ryan. She
suggested that the local residents of a municipality should have the
right and ability to make that determination for themselves.
DuPage Mayors and Managers Conference drive down to Springfield
