The Salary Administration Policy also provides that the Salary Plata will be fuarther monitored by means of a consultant pay and classification study can a triennial basis. TThc most recent such review was complcled in 1997 and implemented in 1998. That review consisted of both an intcrnal assessment of job responsibilities relative to pay and an external market wage survey using the comparale.le communities that were identified in the 1997 arbitration proceeding involving the Village; and Teamsters Local 714 Law Enforcement Division. Because the Village now, for the first time, has an arbitrated list of comparable communities, it is appropriate to not only consider the CPI when determining the range adjustment, but also the pay practices of the comparable communities. In addition, the U. S. Department of Labor also tracks wage trends expressed as the Employment Cost Index (ECI). All of these elements were considered in developing the proposed range adjustment for 1999. The proposed 1999 Salary Plan reflects an adjustment of 3.2 percent to all pay grades. Although the September CPI was only 2.0 percent, the ECI was a full percentage point higher at 3.0. Additionally, the average May 1, 1998 range adjustment among the Villages comparable communities was 3.26 percent. Staff s goal in setting the 1999 range adjustment was to ensure that salary ranges remain in the same relative position among the comparable communities as they were after the implementation of the 1997 compensation study. Staff applied each of the comparable communities stated range adjustment to the salat -• information obtained in the 1997 study, and then applied several possible adjustments to Oak Brook's ranges by position. Each of the benchmark positions were then reviewed to determine which percentage would keep positions in the same relative ranking among the comparable communities. The majority of the benchmark positions retained their position among the comparable communities with a 3.2 percent increase. While there were a number of positions that retained their position with a 3.0 percent increase, several would have lost ground relative to the comparable communities if a 3.0 percent increase were applied, The 1999 Budget includes an overall wage escalation figure of 3.5 percent for non -Union positions. Given that both the CP1 and ECI am lower than even the average wage adjustment seen in the comparable VILLAGE OF OAK BROOK Minutes 5 of 16 December B. 1 "8 i ` - r.ra s , �r_ ? r , ; n'" � 0 communities, staff recommends that the adjustment be set at 3.2 percent in order for Oak Brook salaries to remain competitive in the market. The other changes reflected in the 1999 Salary Plan include: Deletion of the Police: Records Supervisor position (retitled "'Administrative Assistant" in recognition of an expansion of duties including secretarial assistance to the Police Chief and supervision of all clerical functions and personnel in the Police Department); Addition of a Deputy Village Clerk in Grade 5; and Addition of an Information Services Technician in Grade 5. Amendments to the Salary Administration Policy reflect that, in addition to the CPI, the Village is also considering the ECI and the pay practices in the comparable communities when establishing the range adjustment. The other amendments are of a housekeeping nature. Motion by Trustee Caleel, seconded by Trustee Kenny, to pass Resolution 98- SAP -EX2 -R -714, "A Resolution Approving The Salary Plan And Salary Administration Policy For Non -Union Employees For 1999 ", as presented and waive the full reading thereof. ROLL CALL VOTE: Ayes: 5 - Trustees Caleel, Kenny, McInerney. Savino and Shumate. Nays: 0 - None. Absent: 1 - Trustee Bartecki. Motion carried. Village Manager Veiteh noted that we are now seeing the employment cost index and for the first time the Village has arbitrated comparable communities. In considering all of these factors, the goal recommended is a top -of -grade adjustment of 3.2. The just approved budget provided for an adjustment of up to 3.2, so the Village is well within the appropriation, just approved. President Bushy explained that our represented employees. while the contract discussions are proceeding, do not receive any of these increases until the signed agreements are reached by their different bargaining units. However, those represented employees moving through the range do receive their merit increases. Assistant Manager Crotty pointed out that a part-time employee has been upgraded to full time, so that page 2 of Exhibit A needs to be amended to show a Secretary in Grade 3 for the Library -.

Based on materials provided at that meeting, the total cost of the project is anticipated to be $1,313.430. Funding for this project is anticipated to come from the sale of real estate in the Westchester Park neighborhood. Since the land vale is likely to occur sometime after most or all of the construction has been completed, temporary financing is needed fibr this project. As provided for in the 1999 Budget. the ordinance authorizes the General Corporate Fund to provide the temporary financing for this project. Finance; Director Langlois is authorized to draw down funds as the project progresses, and funds will be repaid once the proceeds are received. To date, $73,440 has been expended for this project. Since this amount was paid for with Sports Core operating funds, once this authorization is given Finance Director Langlois :vill refund this amount to the operating account. The ordinance also extends the term of the existing loan authorization of $650,000 for an additional one (1) period, through 3anuary 31, 2000. The 1999 -2003 Five -Year Financial flan provides for repayment of this loan beginning in 2001 once the revenue enhancing improvements at the Sports Core are completed. No increase is needed for this authorization, since operating, revenues are expected to cover Moth operating and regular capital expenses of the Sports Core in 1998.

Section 5 -2(n) of the Code of Ordinances requires certain additional procedures before a building permit can be issued if a development utilizes the incremental increases for structure height or FAR specified in that Code Section. Those procedures include submission of a traffic report describing the impact on the neighboring street system and specifying the additional traffic infrastructure that is required to accommodate traffic generation specifically and uniquely attributable to the proposed development. if any. The property in question is located in an ORA -1 zoning district, the development utilizes a structure height of flee stories. A Section 5- 2(n) review is therefore triggered. The site FAR will meet the ORA-I requirement of 0.45. A traffic report has been submitted by Metro Transportation Group. Inc. in connection with this application. The report concludes that: VILLAGE OF OAK BROOM Minutes /.... 10 of 16 December 8.1 s .»N„k.. 1) The development of approximately 21 8,500 square feet of office space on this site will have minimal impact on the surrounding streets and intersections. 2) An access drive should be constructed to I-larger Road which should be restricted to not permit norticbound to westbound lett- hirn maneuvers between 4:00 p.m. ane. 6:00 p.m. This restriction is not necessary from a traffic standpoint; however, it will minimize any impacts on Harger Road adjacent to the residential Steeplechase Subdivision. The report does not recommend additional roadway improvements as a result of the proposed development. This site currently has access at Commerce Drive, which requires that all traffic use Commerce and its connecting streets (McDonald }s} Spring, Harger, 22"1 Street). The new Harger Road drive will allow tragic to better utilize the surrounding street system by allowing traffic going to or from York Road to bypass the Commerce /Spring/Harger intersections. The afternoon turn restriction would not allow westbound traffic in front of Steeplechase but require it to use Commerce /Spring to proceed north or west. Village Engineer Durfey has reviewed the report, and the Village also retained the firm of James J. Benes and Associates, Inc. to review its technical aspects. The Village Engineer and Benes and Associates agree with the Metro conclusions that this proposed building does not require any additional tragic infrastructure improvements and that the new Harger Road drive is appropriate to distribute the traffic. The applicant has submitted the required site plan and statement as required within Section 5- 2(n)(1). A detailed review of the site improvements will commence upon the tiling of a building permit application. Motion by Trustee McInerney. seconded by Trustee Caleel, that the proposed office development at 700 Commerce Drive does not require the installation of traffic infrastructure in order to accommodate traffic generation specifically and uniquely attr.butable to the development; and that the applicant shrill pay the cost of necessary police enforcement of the no left turn restriction on the Harger Road driveway between 4:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. Monday through Friday.
