4. RESIDENT /VISITOR COMMENT
Mr. J. W. Penland, Member of the Board of Hawks Soccer Club, was representing the
Soccer Club and will address the Board at that time in the Agenda.
Resident Mario Vescovi addressed the Board regarding hunting within the Village borders
on the Brittwood Creek property. He questioned whether there were ordinances within
the Village to prohibit hunting. He advised the Board that the hunting was with bow and
arrow not discharging a gun. He suggested that bow hunting or any type of hunting
should be illegal within the Village.
Manager Niemeyer reported that he had had several calls on this issue and had already
spoken with the Village Attorney and asked him to draft an ordinance for the Board's
review. He asked whether Board members wished to pursue this action. There was
consensus to move forward. Police Chief Sheahan felt that it was a good idea, since Oak
Brook was no longer a rural community.

Sports Core Bath & Tennis and Golf Course clubhouses, and the Public Works

The Village's current one -year contract with Backflow Solutions, Inc. will expire

VILLAGE OF OAK BROOK Minutes Page 3 of 13 NOVEMBER 27, 2007
6. D. 2) In brief, all municipal water systems are mandated by the USEPA to have a cross -
connection control program in place. The intent of the program is to eliminate
non - potable water from entering a potable supply via a cross - connection. In this
instance, a cross - connection would be a physical interconnection of pipes,
conduits, tanks, or faulty backflow prevention devices that would allow a
pollutant to backflow or back- siphon and contaminate the Village's potable
supply.
Our comprehensive program, which was implemented in 2003, meets with all US
and Illinois EPA regulations and is comprised of the following components.
The requested action was that staff be authorized to prepare specifications and
obtain competitive bids for continuation of our comprehensive water system
cross - connection control program.

I. RESOLUTION R -1001, A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE DESTRUCTION
OF THE VERBATIM RECORD OF CLOSED MEETINGS OF THE VILLAGE OF
OAK BROOK BOARD OF TRUSTEES 05/23/06
At the Village Board meeting of April 10, 2007 the Village Board passed Ordinance
G -830 which established procedures to authorize the destruction of the verbatim
record of closed meetings of the Village of Oak Brook Board of Trustees.
The audio recording of the May 23, 2006 Closed Meeting is before the Board to
consider under the consent agenda for the approval of its destruction. This verbatim
recording is eighteen (18) months old and minutes have been approved for the
meeting. A favorable vote shall be deemed to authorize the Village Clerk to destroy
the verbatim records of such closed meetings in a suitable manner. Under separate
cover in a confidential envelope are the minutes of this closed meeting to indicate
they were written and provide the context of.the meeting.
Even with this procedure in place, the Manager, the Village Attorney, or a Trustee
may recommend or request that a particular tape be held. In order to retain a
particular tape, a Trustee would need to request that the item be removed from the
consent agenda for separate consideration and denial of approval for destruction. In
most instances, however, it is in the Village's best interest to destroy the tapes as soon
as legally possible, as indicated above.

8 BOARD & COMMISSION RECOMMENDATIONS
A. HAWKS SOCCER CLUB - 1315 -1425 KENSINGTON ROAD - VARIATION
At the September 25, 2007 meeting, the Village Board concurred with the petitioners
request to continue the final action on its variation requests in order to reconcile
issues relative to stormwater management.
In particular, the petitioner is seeking approval of the following variations to the
Zoning Ordinance:
1. Section 13 -124A to permit a new gravel parking lot
instead of the required a hard surface parking lot.
VILLAGE OF OAK BROOK Minutes Page 7 of 13 NOVEMBER 27, 2007
Lumbm
2. Section 13 -12 -3C to eliminate the requirement to depict
parking lot stall dimensions.
3. Section 13- 12 -413, C and D to eliminate the requirement
for parking lot landscaping and screening.
4. Section 13 -12 -4G to eliminate the requirement to install
curbing of the access drive and parking lot.
5. Section 13 -124H to eliminate the requirement for
parking lot striping.
Upon completing discussions with Village Engineer Durfey who consulted with
DuPage County on the matter, it has been determined that the petitioner must provide
on -site detention in order to construct the desired improvements.
Therefore, the Hawks Soccer Club with approval from the property owner
(McDonald's) will provide on -site stormwater management in conformance with
Village regulations.
Mr. J. W. Penland, a member of the Board of the Hawks Soccer Club, representing
the Soccer Club, indicated that he was available to answer any questions and that he
had photographs for demonstration, if needed.
Trustee Kennedy commented that stormwater retention was being provided for the
area and asked Village Engineer Durfey if he and the County were satisfied that the
plans were in compliance with all requirements. Village Engineer Durfey responded
that the plans were still being reviewed, but that it had been agreed that all Village
requirements would be in full compliance of all requirements.
Motion by Trustee Sanford, seconded by Trustee Manofsky, to concur with the
recommendation from the Zoning Board of Appeals and approve the requested
variations necessary to construct a second gravel parking lot on the property located
at 1315 and 1425 Kensington Road subject to the following conditions:
1. The Hawks Soccer Club will comply with all Village requirements for storm water
management;
2. The Village Trustees concur with the placement of the new parking lot on the
unimproved Village right of way that is located west of the Kensington Road cul-
de -sac; and
3. In the event that the Village needs access to its right -of -way, the Hawks Soccer
Club will not hinder access under any circumstances; and
Authorize the Village Attorney to prepare the necessary ordinance for final
consideration at the December 11, 2007 Board of Trustees meeting VOICE VOTE:

C. AWARD OF CONTRACTS
D. 22ND STREET LIGHTING PROJECT
The purpose of this discussion was to update information and insure that all trustees
have a clear understanding of past events and concur as to how the project should
move forward from this point. This is particularly important as the weighty number
and changing faces of those involved, exclusive of the Village Board, have made this
project rather complex and at times quite challenging.
First, it should be noted that the Beautification Committee selected a street light pole
and luminaire /fixture several months ago from samples presented by Tim King of the
Hitchcock Design Group. That selection, was forwarded to the balance of the Village
Board. However, with the untimely expiration of Hitchcock's contract, coupled with
the leaving of then Village Manager Boehm and the departing of Assistant Village
Manager Moline, the project lost a certain amount of traction. Due to this, and other
obstacles encountered, the street lighting cannot be included in the Tollway's 22nd
Street bid letting. Additionally, it is too late to be issued as a contract addendum.
This leaves a "Construction Revision" as the only contract mechanism now available.
Basically, this contract protocol gives the Tollway the ability to negotiate a price with
the contractor. If, after consultation with HDR and PK Gandhi, and most
importantly, the Village, the price appears appropriate, the work will become part of
the contract. If, however, pricing cannot be agreed to, then the lights will not be
included within the Tollway's project; essentially, leaving us on our own to bid. This
is something that certainly can be accomplished but one that would undoubtedly
entail additional hurdles along with associated delays that we are presently trying to
avoid.
As for the selected pole /luminaire itself, and after discussion with IDOT, it appears
that it will be approved once detailed engineering plans are submitted.
As for cost, the estimated unit cost for the pole /luminaire and installation is in the
$11,000 - 13,000 range. With approximately 22 poles to be installed from McDonald's
Drive to the west side of Salt Creek, the total estimated cost is $242,000 — 286,000.
Obviously the final number will not be known until discussions /negotiations take
place with the contractor.
E. 22" STREET LANDSCAPE IMPROVEMENTS
Trustee Kennedy presented the approval of contract with Hitchcock Design Group to
develop the plan for beautification of the 22nd street corridor for 2008. Trustee
VILLAGE OF OAK BROOK Minutes Page 9 of 13 NOVEMBER 27, 2007
9. E. Kennedy iterated the efforts of the Beautification Committee to work on the
beautification plan which was presented to the Board and approved about a year ago.
The Board approved an increase in the hotel tax and to dedicate that money to the
hotel area for this project.
Trustee Kennedy and Community Development Director Kallien were not satisfied
with the agreement and asked that this topic be continued until the next meeting to
amend the agreement to include the construction phase, recognizing that the fees
would only be a target number that could be amended at a later date.
Motion by Trustee Kennedy, seconded by Trustee Manofsky, to continue the
Approval of a Professional Services Agreement with Hitchock Design Group for the
22nd Street B pending revision and expansion of the contract. VOICE VOTE:
Motion carried.
F. INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT - FLAGG CREEK - WATER
DISCONNECTION FOR UNPAID SEWER CHARGES CONTINUED FROM
NOVEMBER 13, 2007
Flagg Creek Water Reclamation District provides sewer service to Village of Oak
Brook water customers. They were asking that the Village of Oak Brook shut off the
customer's water service for customers who did not pay for their sewer services until
payment is received.
It was felt that the agreement needed some amendments to protect the Village. At the
November 13, 2007 Board of Trustees meeting, the Village Board directed additional
revisions to Section 7.0 of the agreement. Village Attorney Sterk has revised the
Indemnification section and provided a black -lined version of the changes along with
a complete version of the agreement for Board consideration.
Motion by Trustee Wolin, seconded by Trustee Kennedy, to approve the proposed
Intergovernmental Agreement with Flagg Creek Water Reclamation District. ROLL

10. C. AWARD OF CONTRACTS
1) HOTELS OF OAK BROOK 2008 MARKETING CAMPAIGN APPROVAL
The 2008 Budget contains provisions for the marketing campaign (Program 171-
7360 Advertising /Promotion). The recommended campaign is similar in scope
and at the same expenditure level as the 2007 campaign.
At its November 8, 2007 meeting, the Oak Brook Hotel, Convention and Visitors
Committee was presented and discussed the 2008 marketing campaign. The
Committee would like to make a formal recommendation to accept Point B
Communications for marketing the Hotels of Oak Brook.
The campaign includes scheduled media placements, direct mail pieces,
fulfillment pieces, billboard advertising and e -mail broadcasts targeted at group
(or business) travelers as well as leisure travelers. Advertisements are
contemplated in publications such as Meeting MidAmerica, Meeting Guide to the
Midwest, Illinois Meetings & Events, Chicago Tribune, Daily Herald, Midwest
Living and the DuPage Convention and Visitors Guide. The campaign also
includes tracking services, call management, web maintenance and hosting,
fulfillment services (group and leisure brochures) and search engine marketing.
All ad placements included in the campaign are net -of commission. The
agreement provides for a monthly retainer fee to be paid to Point B
Communications for all coordination services, conference time, travel, strategic
planning, media research, marketing plan development, consultation, etc. These
services are not insignificant given the time that is spent coordinating with the
marketing subcommittee, monitoring the success of projects and responding
accordingly, obtaining various approvals, etc. Costs for creative ad production by
Point B Communications are billed separately as a part of each applicable job.
The total not -to- exceed amount of the agreement with Point B Communications is
$300,283. The funds for this program come from the 1% room tax on overnight
hotel stays in Oak Brook.
Stacy Hughes of Point B Communications described the changes to the campaign
from last year to accommodate the new problems for Oak Brook hotels due to
road construction and new hotels in the area.
Motion by Trustee Saiyed, seconded by Trustee Kennedy, to approve the 2008
marketing campaign totaling $300,283 as recommended by the Oak Brook Hotel,
Convention and Visitors Committee, and authorize the Village Manager to
execute the necessary agreements after review by the Village Attorney. ROLL

10. C. 2) ADMINISTRATION COPIER
Pursuant to the provisions of Section 1 -7 -10 of the Code of Ordinances and
Compiled Statutes, the Village is permitted to join with other governmental units
in order to benefit from cooperative purchasing arrangements.
The copier located in the administration area was purchased in 2001 has over
2,000,000 copies. It is a high volume copier that is used mainly by
Administration and Finance for many projects including agenda packets and
budget. Staff was able to demo copiers from Ricoh Business Solutions and Oce
Imagistics. The Oce Imagistics copier is on the State of Illinois contract. The
Oce Imagistics copier constantly had paper jams and needed a replacement
finisher. Service was called on the machine numerous times during the course of
the demonstration week. The Ricoh copier demoed is similar to the one being
replaced. Staff was very pleased with the performance of the copier. We
currently have two other Ricoh copiers in the Village that perform adequately.
The manufacturers suggested retail price on the Aficio MP 9000SP copier
configured to fit the Village's needs is over $40,000. US Communities price for
the copier is $23,182. Ricoh is offering the Village an additional $1,500 off the
US Communities price as a promotion and trade in value of our old copier.
Motion by Trustee Sanford, seconded by Trustee Kennedy, that the Village Board
waive further bidding since US Communities already conducted the bid process
and issue a purchase order to Ricoh Business Solutions, Inc., Oak Brook, Illinois
for an Aficio MP 9000SP copier in the amount $21,682 and a three year
maintenance agreement for $0.0053 per copy. ROLL CALL VOTE:
