3. RESIDENT /VISITOR COMMENT:
President Quinlan announced that Congressman Henry Hyde, who represents a portion of
the Village of Oak Brook, has sent an American flag flown over the U. S. Capitol and
asked that it be flown on September 11, 2004. They will observe a special day in the
history of the United States as the third anniversary of the cowardly attacks on the World
Trade Center and Pentagon of September 11, 2001. He read Congressman Hyde's letter in
its entirety to those in attendance of the meeting. He asked that Fire Chief Cronholm be
given the flag and that it will be flown accordingly.
Mr. Al Knuth asked for a variance with Hinsdale Sanitary District as he has a large bill for
watering and that an Ad Hoc Committee be considered by the Board of Trustees to review
this to see what may be done about sprinkling. He then commented on the McDonald's
Corporation presentation from the last Board of Trustees meeting and he suggested that a
motion should have been made to readjust the opportunity for McDonald's to make a
presentation earlier on the agenda rather than at the end of the meeting. He stated that
issues that were raised should have been discussed in a committee form as McDonald's
proposal was approved by the Zoning Board of Appeals and Plan Commission He
inquired as to who voted for the retirement package for former Police Chief Pisarek for
the six months severance. He again commented to the Board of the $54,000 severance

3. package. Trustee Aktipis stated that the Board of Trustees acted upon the
recommendation of the Village President.
Mr. Moinuddin Saiyed requested that both sides set aside the issue and work for a
common goal for enhancing and strengthening the community and not indulge in
disparaging remarks that could further damage the Village's image in our surrounding
communities
Manager Boehm discussed the Hinsdale Sanitary District issue as the Village Board has
requested before for the Hinsdale Sanitary District Board to reconsider their fee charge for
recycled water through irrigation systems There is a deduct system they have
implemented for the irrigation systems. The Village has sent them a number of options
that other districts use to assess and make the charges through irrigation systems. He did
receive a letter from the Hinsdale Sanitary District that the Director has been directed by
their Board to consider other alternatives.
Trustee Aktipis requested that the Village Manager and Village Clerk refrain from
scheduling closed meetings in the future. He stated the Open Meetings Act requires that
the Board meet in open sessions so that the public may see the Board in action and the
only exception he would accept to go into a closed meeting would involve a topic that is
legally sensitive He would only attend a closed meeting if advised by an independent
legal counsel that it is necessary to do so.
Motion by Trustee Aktipis that the closed meeting scheduled on the agenda be canceled,
seconded by Trustee Zannis.
Trustee Caleel inquired as to the purpose of the closed meeting was to approve closed
meeting minutes. Trustee Aktipis stated it was for the approval of closed session minutes
for release to the public and the issue of the 2004 Salary Administration Plan. The Board
had instituted an overall cap on the salary of employees of the Village of Oak Brook and
the salary increases are capped at 7% for those employees moving through the grade for a
combined salary adjustment and meritorious increases. He stated that the Village
Manager has been approached by the Police Department that they are prepared to file a
formal grievance but would rather have their issues raised to the Village Board with a
hope that some resolution could be made. He indicated that they are free to come to a
regular Board meeting to raise those issues but will not go into a closed meeting to discuss
this
Attorney Kubiesa explained the purpose of the closed meeting was to review the closed
meeting minutes to decide what should be released and what should not be released to the
public. If the Board could decide in open session what should be released without
discussing confidential information then it could be done.
Clerk Gonnella clarified that the four sets of July minutes of closed meetings have not
VILLAGE OF OAK BROOK Minutes Page 2 of 22 August 24, 2004
3. been reviewed by the Board as the matters discussed involved personnel issues regarding
the Police Chief.
Trustee Aktipis stated the minutes from January through June, 2004 could be released to
the public at this time.
Trustee Caleel asked to discuss the Police Chief agreement before the motion is voted
upon. He stated at the last Village Board meeting that Attorney Kubiesa was asked to
give a legal opinion whether or not the Police Chief contract was valid. Attorney Kubiesa
indicated it was a valid contract. Trustee Caleel recapped the May 11, 2004 Board
meeting in which the Trustees discussed the terms of severance of Police Chief Pisarek.
They discussed only two items what his severance pay would be and the fact that he
wanted insurance coverage for himself and his wife until the age of 65 The Board voted
against that issue and agreed upon COBRA. The second request was for one year
severance and the Board did not concur with that and the Board discussed whether it
should be three months or six months. He explained that three Board members concurred
for a three month severance and three Board members concurred for six month severance.
The Village President cast the deciding vote for six months. The Board adjourned from a
closed meeting to the regular Board meeting and a motion was approved in open session
according to the minutes he received. Trustee Caleel stated the Village Attorney cited the
Rice case that no final action could be taken on a subject unless it was placed on the
agenda as that item was not on the agenda. He indicated that the contract was drafted by
an outside attorney on behalf of the Village of Oak Brook and its Board of Trustees and
contained not only the severance pay but other multiple items including a gag order. He
stated that nothing of that nature was discussed by the Board of Trustees and they did not
authorize an outside attorney to prepare the severance contract. The Board assumed that
any contract to be signed would be brought to the Board of Trustees in open session to be
voted upon which was not done. He stated he disagreed with Attorney Kubiesa's legal
opinion
Attorney Kubiesa stated the Rice case involves the Open Meetings Act. He stated that the
question he was asked by the Board was the validity of the contract. He indicated
whether or not the Open Meetings Act was violated is not important to the issue of the
validity of the contract as it was not part of his opinion. Trustee Caleel stated that when
the Board adjourns to a closed meeting, that the Village President indicates to the press
that no decision will be made and he stated that the entire situation is not valid and
disagrees with Attorney Kubiesa's opinion. Trustee Caleel suggested that the contract
should be made public.
President Quinlan stated this is not a hearing but the Board of Trustees must proceed with
the business at hand.
Trustee 7annis asked Attorney Kubiesa if formal action was taken by the Board of
Trustees without it being on the agenda. Attorney Kubiesa indicated that appropriate
VILLAGE OF OAK BROOK Minutes Page 3 of 22 August 24, 2004
li�
3 action was taken by the Board of Trustees to authorize the severance contract for former
Police Chief Pisarek.
Trustee Zannis stated she hadn't seen the document. She suggested former Police Chief
Pisarek is responsible to give his services until the end of the year and she asked President
Quinlan why he didn't contact Chief Pisarek if he wished to stay. President Quinlan
indicated that he did talk with the Chief and asked him if he wished to stay past his
original retirement date and he indicated no. Trustee Zannis stated that he could have
called him the night of the closed meeting and explained to Chief Pisarek that he was
contractually obligated to work and he would have to respond President Quinlan
reiterated again that he did not wish to work beyond his retirement date. Trustee Aktipis
stated President Quinlan could have brought forth the contract and indicated to Chief
Pisarek that he was violating his contract and his benefits would be eliminated. He
indicated that it doesn't appear that President Quinlan exercised his duties to enforce
Chief Pisarek's contract appropriately on behalf of the Village of Oak Brook.
President Quinlan indicated that he would not debate contracts or legal issues in an open
session but in a closed session and legally release the minutes afterwards.
Motions by Trustee Aktipis, second by Trustee Zannis, that the Village Manager and
Village Clerk refrain from scheduling closed meetings and cancel the closed meeting as
scheduled on the agenda. VOICE VOTE: Ayes: Trustees Aktipis, Caleel, Craig, Korin
and Zannis. Nay: Trustee Yusuf. Motion carried.

5. D 1) RFP FOR BATH & TENNIS CLUB MANAGEMENT
Trustee Craig asked that Agenda 5.1). 1) to seek bids or proposals for the RFP for the Bath
& Tennis Club management be delayed at this time due to the following changes by the
Club's staff-
It is unfair to the staff members who have worked very hard to make changes in the
operation of the Club. Increased membership has made the Club more viable this year.
"Family Night is Fun Night" on six Fridays during the summer has generated much
positive response from members and sparked interest in booking events at the Club. Staff
has cut costs significantly, including accepting pay cuts, in order to reduce costs and
increase profitability. One of the three catering consultants has left and has not been
VILLAGE OF OAK BROOK Minutes Page 6 of 22 August 24, 2004
6. 5. D. 1)
replaced, events are being staffed with a smaller number of wait staff, and employees are
performing in dual roles in many instances. Figures for this year are not yet available as
to whether all of the above has increased the bottom line and cut losses at the Club. This
should be of primary importance in deciding whether or not to seek outside management.
It would be extremely disheartening to those who have brought about significant changes
to not be given the courtesy of looking at the financials at the end of the year before
seeking new management proposals.
President Quinlan concurred with Trustee Craig but noted that the Board of Trustees had
directed the Village Manager to proceed with a request for proposals. He asked that the
Village not give up control of the Bath & Tennis Club operation.
Trustee Zannis stated she did not believe in giving up control of the Bath & Tennis Club
but indicated there is a lack of expertise or staffing requirements for catering She
indicated it is difficult to compete in the banquet industry due to the Bath & Tennis Club's
pricing not being competitive and the facility is not laid out to provide adequate banquets.
She noted that smaller parties are being contracted which is labor intensive and the Club
is not able to get the cost cutting measures of quantity purchasing. She suggested that the
pool and tennis club will almost break even but the food service will not. She concurred
with Trustee Craig to wait until the end of the year for the final results but that the Board
made a commitment to the public by September 1, 2004 that the Board would be able to
state should a Request for Proposals be proposed. She suggested that the Request for
Proposal could be done and not award a contract until the first of year then it would allow
staff to receive information to operate more efficiently that would add value to it.
Motion by Trustee Zannis, seconded by Trustee Korin, to amend the motion to direct the
Village Attorney to draft the final request for proposal to be presented to the Board for
review.
Trustee Caleel suggested that if the results from the Bath & Tennis Club operation are
good then the Village will have spent funds to have the Attorney draft the proposal. He
stated the Request for Proposal is in good form from Assistant Manager Moline and
requested it be tabled.
Motion by Trustee Caleel, seconded by Trustee Aktipis, to table this agenda item.
VOICE VOTE: Motion carried.

D. HARGER WOODS WATER SERVICE
Earlier this year a request was made on behalf of the proposed developers to
receive water service from the Village of Oak Brook for an unincorporated parcel
of property along York Road between Roosevelt and I -88 (the site of the mini -
warehouse proposal). The Board continued this water service request to allow staff
additional time to look into this matter. A memo from Public Works Director
Meranda summarizes the sentiments of the staff.
Although the proposed land use is residential, by providing water service to this
property, the developer would have the option to seek DuPage County approvals
as opposed to coming through the Village process to evaluate all aspects of the
project; the developer has said verbally that they would build the development to
Village standards.
Public works has determined that the water use from this development is
"inconsequential "; however there are other developments in other areas outside of
incorporated Oak Brook that would likely apply for water service if this request is
granted which would set a precedent. The combination of this request and
anticipated future requests could add up to have a substantial effect on the
Village's overall water system.
It is recommended that this request for water service in unincorporated Oak Brook
be denied.
VILLAGE OF OAK BROOK Minutes Page 11 of 22 August 24, 2004
8 D. Trustee Yusuf asked if the Village could consider annexing the property to have
control over it. Manager Boehm stated the real concern is if it is approved that it
would set a precedent for other areas outside of the certificated area. He indicated
annexation may, be a better control of this then it would automatically receive
Village water.
Trustee Yusuf stated that this should be investigated further Trustee Caleel stated
there is no benefit to annex property as the Village receives no taxes but increase
costs to the community. Trustee Yusuf stated it is a private road and since it is so
small to consider annexing it.
The developer Frank Giudice addressed the Board and stated that they would be
happy to annex into Oak Brook as they are completely surrounded by Oak Brook
He noted that it is a private road with a gated community of 27 units on seven
acres for adult living only He suggested there will be no impact to the schools,
none for public works and only for public safety protection.
Attorney Kubiesa stated the developer could petition the Village of Oak Brook for
annexation pursuant to an annexation agreement that could be done separately.
Motion by Trustee Zannis, seconded by Trustee Yusuf, to deny the request for
water service to an unicorporated area of the Village of Oak Brook - Proposed
Harger Woods Subdivision. ROLL CALL VOTE:

C. AWARD OF CONTRACTS
1) PROFESSIONAL ENGINEERING SERVICES — 2005 PAVING PROJECT
The Board at this point on the Agenda addressed issues that were not placed on the
Agenda.
Motion by Trustee Korin, seconded by Trustee Zannis, to direct the Village Attorney to
draft an ordinance governing temporary and acting appointments that would mirror what
the Village ordinance states for permanent appointments and specifically to include the
requirement that the Village President would nominate an appointment and the Board
would approve that appointment. VOICE VOTE: Motion carried.
Attorney Kubiesa stated he would review the legality of this ordinance with State Statute
as he was not aware of this motion at this time.
Motion by Trustee Caleel, seconded by Trustee Aktipis, that no unbudgeted positions will
take place without action from the Board of Trustees. VOICE VOTE: Motion carried
Trustee Aktipis discussed the Attorney invoices to date and the previous Attorney
Martens invoices that he requested by Manager Boehm. The compilation of invoices
VILLAGE OF OAK BROOK Minutes Page 14 of 22 August 24, 2004
9. indicates both the Village Attorney costs and prosecutor costs are combined into one
number so that the comparison may be done -side by side. He asked for this when in a
closed meeting both Trustees Aktipis and Caleel inquired as to the appointment of
Attorney Kubiesa whether the cost would be higher than the cost of Attorney Martens.
President Quinlan assured the Board as well as Attorney Kubiesa there would be no
increase cost in legal fees. In the meeting of August 12, 2003 the minutes reflect that
President Quinlan announced that the Village would be budget neutral with the hiring of
the new Attorney and maybe even a saving. Trustee Aktipis stated his dismay when he
received the break down of costs between the two attorneys for the eleven months as
Attorney Kubiesa with prosecutor fees invoiced the Village $223,796.42 an average of
$20,342.67 a month. Attorney Martens with Village prosecutor fees billed the Village
$102,373.64 or an average of $9,306.96 a month. On an annualized basis, the Village of
Oak Brook has paid Attorney Kubiesa $134,000 higher than previous Attorney Martens.
He indicated the Village went through some difficult financial times and the residents
came to the rescue by approving a sales tax increase so that the Village budget could
address the Village expenses.
Motion by Trustee Aktipis that the Village Manager limit the Village Attorney's budget
for the next twelve months for no more than $9,600 which represents the previous cost
plus a 3% adjustment for inflation and the $135,000 approximate savings will be set aside
for additional funds and direct the Village Manager to pursue resuming the collection of
garbage free of charge to our residents.
Attorney Kubiesa stated some of the factual basis by Trustee Aktipis for making the
motion is incorrect and that it is unfair to the Village and he and he would like to have
time to respond.
Trustee Korin stated she had met with Attorney Kubiesa and voiced her concern of the
invoices as it did represent the previous year's cost structure She indicated that Manager
Boehm asked Finance Director Langlois to indicate other costs that are categorized in the
legal budget. She stated this is a serious issue and that it needs to be discussed further and
to review the costs that the Finance Director has been asked to formulate
Trustee Caleel stated that these invoices should be placed on the Consent Agenda for
approval by the Village Board.
Trustee Yusuf stated that in 2003, $135,000 was spent on other legal services and in 2004
for eight months the fees were $48,000. He indicated there is approximately a $60,000
reduction cost. He stated he is not aware if the work is being done in house or outsourced
and requested that this should be part of the information to consider on how to proceed.
Motion by Trustee Caleel, seconded by Trustee Korin, to table to the next Village Board
meeting to allow time for Attorney Kubiesa to respond and Finance Director Langlois'
response of legal costs. VOICE VOTE: Motion carried.
VILLAGE OF OAK BROOK Minutes Page 15 of 22 August 24, 2004
9. Attorney Kubiesa will also give his legal opinion on this request. Trustee Korin stated
other communities have such an ordinance so that no future difficulties will occur.
Trustee Zannis reiterated that the Village Board is either not being made aware or not in
agreement of hiring in unbudgeted areas without budget allocations being made,
consultants being used without bidding processes or the Board not having knowledge of
the billing fees, legal fees being 100% over budget, contracts being written by firms that
the Board is not being made aware of or approving
Motion by Trustee Zannis, seconded by Trustee Korin that any budget line item that
exceeds 10% of its budget must come before the Village Board for approval. VOICE
VOTE Motion carried
Motion by Trustee Zannis, seconded by Trustee Aktipis that any outside contracting
should be approved by the Village Board. VOICE VOTE: Motion carried.
Trustee Zannis stated she had asked Manager Boehm how the Village Board is going to
be represented by the TRO ( Temporary Restraining Order). Attorney Kubiesa stated
pursuant to Judge Bonnie Wheaton's ruling that this Village Board may be legally
represented and President Quinlan has to approve the legal representation
Trustee Zannis asked President Quinlan how the Board of Trustees would receive legal
representation. President Quinlan stated that the Board of Trustees is asking him to have
the Village approve additional fees for legal representation for the Board of Trustees in
action they took outside of their legal authority as Village Trustees. He stated that he
pursued legal counsel and filed suit along with the Village Clerk. He indicated that the
Trustees may hire outside legal counsel.
Trustee Zannis formally requested that President Quinlan consider appointing legal
counsel for the Board of Trustees. President Quinlan stated he will take this under
advisement.
Trustee Aktipis suggested that when President Quinlan takes one point of view and sues
the Board of Trustees based on that opinion that President Quinlan could at least provide
adequate legal representation for the Trustees as well.
President Quinlan stated his disagreement with Trustee Aktipis as the Board has
questioned the expenses of the Village and over expenditures and believes their action
was illegal and he will take it under advisement.
Trustee Craig stated he is favor of the free garbage pickup!
Trustee Zannis asked Manager Boehm to describe the reorganization of the
Communications Center. He stated for many years it was organized under the Police
Department as the primary communication tool for the Village's Police Department, Fire
VILLAGE OF OAK BROOK Minutes Page 16 of 22 August 24, 2004
9. Department, Public Works Department and as part of the Emergency Operations Center.
Several years prior it was placed under the Village Manager's office when it was moved
physically out of the Police Department. A decision was made at that time. He
recommended that the Communications Center is best supervised by its law enforcement
officials as they are properly staffed on a twenty -four basis seven days a week. In
DuPage County all Communication Centers are organized under the municipal Police
Department. In 2003, Chief Pisarek and Deputy Chief Haas discussed with the Village's
Fire Department of placing it under the Police Department. Manager Boehm explained
that he made a decision to reorganize the Communications Center out of his office under
the Police Department. It was organized under former Sgt. Borkovec who designed plans
to increase scheduling, coverage on midnight shifts, allow improvements in computer aid
dispatching, update the standard operating procedures and improve the Village's public
safety relations. There are two systems in the Communication Center one is the law
enforcement agency's data system and the National Crime Information Center Access.
Both systems are privileged items and the Village of Oak Brook is under agreement with
the Illinois State Police. The agreement was signed by the Village and Police Chief on
November 20, 2001 stating that the Village of Oak Brook Police Department agreed with
the LEADS or State of Illinois Police Agreement. It stipulates that all the personnel in
that area must be controlled by a sheriff, chief of police, authorized law enforcement
supervisor, authorized criminal justice administrator or law enforcement official. In
addition to his decision to reorganize under the Police Department, it is traditionally done
so staff protects the Village's agreement with the Illinois State Police.
There have been changes as a new Assistant Supervisor has been assigned to that
Department, additional coverage and supervision of the Board by the Supervisor,
improvements have been made in the computer aided dispatch and an update of standard
operating procedures.
Trustee Craig explained under the LEADS program a Communications Center does not
have to have sworn personnel to operate the LEADS system. It is used for criminal
records but a person must be trained and registered with the Illinois State Police.
Ms. Heidi Parent, Field Specialist with Illinois State Police, addressed the Village Board
indicating that part of her responsibility is the LEADS system and a person must be
certified and under the direct control of a Manager of a Police Department. Ms. Parent
stated in 1998 when the Village agency was audited by the Illinois State Police, it was
discovered that the Village's Communication Center was not under the management
control of the Police Department but the Village Manager. At that time the issue was
raised that the Communication Center was in violation of the security standards, what was
signed by the previous Police Chief was an interagency governmental agreement which
allows the Communications Center to sign an agreement with the Village's Police
Department that allows the Police Department to govern the aspects of the Center that
would be LEADS related and that agreement is still in effect. It would now have to be
signed by the new Police Chief.
VILLAGE OF OAK BROOK Minutes Page 17 of 22 August 24, 2004
9. Trustee Aktipis stated in what way does that agreement require that the Communications
Department has to report to a particular Police Department. Ms. Parent indicated that if
the interagency agreement is signed, it would allow the Police Department to govern
certain areas of LEADS related issues in the Communications Center.
Trustee Aktipis asked Manager Boehm when the former Village Manager took the
initiative to change, was he directed by the Village Board to do so. He indicated that he
was told that the former Manager had moved it primarily because the Center had moved
outside of the Police Department. Trustee Aktipis indicated that the former Village
Manager was directed by the Village Board in an open meeting that the Department
would stand as an independent unit. Trustee Aktipis asked Manager Boehm if he had
asked the Board for advisement of his initiative to move the Communication Center under
the Police Department Manager Boehm stated he did not because he felt it was under his
authority of the day to day Village operations while staying within budget. He indicated
that this was done approximately in May
Motion by Trustee Zannis, seconded by Trustee Aktipis, to direct the Village Manager to
place the Communications Center under the authority of the Village Manager and sign the
interagency agreement to maintain the Village's legal obligations
President Quinlan asked Ms. Parent if the Acting Police Chief may sign this agreement.
Ms. Parent stated yes the Acting Police Chief could sign the interagency agreement
Trustee Yusuf suggested the Communications Center would operate more smoothly with
the Police Department as it works for every other town in DuPage County. Trustee Craig
asked if the Communications Center moves under the authority of the Village Manager
would the Village have to hire additional personnel? Manager Boehm stated there would
be no additional costs.
Fire Chief Cronholm explained to the Board that this move was put in place over a year
ago because it was calculated it was better for the Police Department, Fire Department
and better for the Communications Center. The timing was just coincidental of the
change Trustee Zannis stated because changes were made without informing the Board
that this is not correct
Police Sgt. Mucha spoke to the Board as he stated he has been placed in charge of the
Radio Room Supervisor as she continues to manage her personnel. The main driving
force of bringing the Communications Center back under Police Department control is to
have some control rather than none. In the short time that they have had control they have
managed to correct a number of problems that were not addressed over the last six years
because the past Village Manager and past Assistant Village Manager had no
Communications Center experience. He has solved personnel issues, morale has
improved and response time has not suffered and services to the community have
continued. Police Chief Pisarek was the driving force for bringing it back to the Police
Department when it was made clear by the Illinois State Police that the Village was

work in the Center relates to NCI and LEADS.
Trustee Zannis stated that the Police Department and Village Manager have an obligation
to keep the Village Board informed and to make decisions with consensus.
Trustee Caleel asked to call the question.
Motion by Trustee Zannis, seconded by Trustee Aktipis, to direct the Village Manager to
place the Communications Center under the authority of the Village Manager's office and

currently resides under the Police Department.
The Board returned to the Agenda Item 9. C. 1) PROFESSIONAL ENGINEERING
SERVICES — 2005 PAVING PROJECT
At the Village Board meeting of June 22, 2004, the Board authorized staff to
negotiate a contract with James J. Benes & Associates, Inc. for Professional
Engineering Services for the 2005 Paving Project. Staff has been working with the
consultant and contract is ready to present to the Board of Trustees.
This agreement utilizes the format previously approved by Attorney Carden and
Purchasing Director Kapff.
The 2004 Budget contains funds for the design of the 2005 Paving Project. The
budget has been - structured such that the design work will be accomplished in
2004, the project bid in February of 2005, and then constructed within 2005
Funds for this construction project will be included in the 2005 Budget.
The geotechnical services (material testing, asphalt density testing, concrete
strength testing, etc.) are subcontracted to Testing Service Corporation (TSC).
Due to organizing activities by IUOE 150, their cost structure for Field
Technicians will change effective September 1, 2004. Their proposal within the
Benes contract has made provision for work utilizing their anticipated higher wage
rates. Previously, services performed by TSC were considered professional
services and not considered to be subject to prevailing wage regulation. The
unionization of the Field Technicians results in a 12% increase in the total cost for
materials testing for this project in comparison to what the total cost would have

been if unionization did not occur.
Motion by Trustee Zannis, seconded by Trustee Caleel, that the Village Board
approve the agreement with James J. Benes & Associates, Inc. for Professional
Engineering Services regarding the 2005 Paving Project in the not -to- exceed
amount of $127,617.00. ROLL CALL VOTE:

D AUTHORIZATION OF USE OF POLO FIELDS - PRAIRIE STATE GAMES
The Prairie State games is an amateur sports festival offering 28 Olympic -style sports
in which competitions are held. DuPage County through the Convention and Visitors
Bureau has been selected to host the games for the years 2005, 2006 and 2007. The
DuPage Convention and Visitors Bureau have reserved 8,800 rooms for the games and
intend to have a day at Oakbrook Center for the guests.
The Games committee has selected the Oak Brook Golf Course for its golf venue and
would like to utilize the Oak Brook Polo Fields 42 and #3 for June 24 -26, 2005 for
High School level Soccer competition. Last year the Village leased those fields to the
Hinsdale Hurricanes for a similar time period for $3,000. A similar price was
presented to the Committee who stated that they normally receive fields at no charge.
In the interest of hosting 9 to 10 fields of soccer at a High School level; encouraging
the families to stay, eat and shop in Oak Brook staff recommends that the Village
authorize the use of the Polo Fields at a charge of $1,500 for 3 days with a $1,500
subsidy to the Sports Core for this event. It is further recommended that the subsidy be
made either out of the General Fund or from the Hotel /Motel Tax receipts. This could
be appropriately budgeted for in the upcoming process. In addition to the field rental
the Village will have complete control over the food and beverage concessions
Trustee Korin asked that fees be taken from the Hotel /Motel Tax receipts and not the
General Fund.
Motion by Trustee Zannis, seconded by Trustee Caleel, to approve authorizing Polo
Fields #2 & #3 to be rented for June 24 -26, 2005 for the Prairie State Games at a cost
of $1,500 plus a $1,500 subsidy to the Sports Core. ROLL CALL VOTE -

10. INFORMATION & UPDATES:
VILLAGE OF OAK BROOK Minutes Page 20 of 22 August 24, 2004
10. A. VILLAGE PRESIDENT — President Quinlan stated his compromise of the
permanent appointment of a Police Chief is that the Village Board or the Village
President removes themselves from the process of the Police Chief selection. He
has asked the PAR Group if they would compile a list of the current candidates,
make the study and select three candidates. The PAR Group has asked from the
Village to add their list of qualifications of a Police Chief and issue to them the
unique criteria for Oak Brook. After the criteria are given to the PAR Group for
their consideration, they will review all of the candidates. The Trustees may
include their comments after the Board's criteria are given to them that all of the
resumes be reviewed. The estimated cost is $3,750.00. The Board would pre -
approve the list and President Quinlan will select from it. He suggested the Board
may go into a closed meeting to discuss this and he will not attend so the Board
may discuss his proposal.
Trustee Aktpis asked how long President Quinlan thought it would take to
complete this process. President Quinlan indicated by September 27, 2004 and
that the Police Chief could be appointed at that next Board meeting. Trustee
Aktipis asked who in the interim would be the Police Chief. President Quinlan
stated that Acting Police Chief Carpino will remain.
Trustee Caleel suggested that the Village Board go into a closed meeting. Trustee
Aktipis remarked he declines to go into closed session as the Board should review
President Quinlan's letter further. Trustee Zannis asked to discuss this issue now.
Trustee Zannis suggested that the PAR Group will take the entire 44 resumes and
review them. The company may or may not choose any of the candidates on the
Trustee list or on the President's list. She stated her criteria are different than the
President's criteria so how is the PAR Group going to decide President Quinlan
indicated the PAR Group will have to use their professional judgment. President
Quinlan suggested removing his selection from the top of the list and letting the
candidates stand on their own.
Manager Boehm explained that the PAR Group requested the Board members to
individually respond and give their own personal criteria. Twelve interviews would
be held then selected down to three Trustee Zannis asked if President Quinlan
was requesting the Board members to relinquish their right to advise. He indicated
that yes he was requesting the Trustees to give up their right to advise but that he is
also relinquishing his ability to choose the candidate, to reduce the number of
candidates and to produce the candidates of his choosing in order to complete this
process. Trustee Zannis suggested that if the Board votes on October 1St then if
someone gives a thirty day notice then they would begin work around November
1St. Trustee Zannis asked Attorney Kubiesa if there is something legal the Board
should know in proceeding or is the Board giving up their statutory rights.
Attorney Kubiesa explained that if there is a consensus amongst the Village Board
members to proceed in this manner, it is perfectly legal. If not, then the Board
VILLAGE OF OAK BROOK Minutes Page 21 of 22 August 24, 2004
10. A could not proceed as it would have to be unanimous.
Trustee Aktipis indicated that President Quinlan maintains his statutory right to
choose the candidate of his choice from the three candidates. President Quinlan
stated that he does maintain the right to select.
The Board adjourned the meeting at this point on the agenda.
