9. BOARD & COMMISSION RECOMMENDATIONS — NONE
10. UNFINISHED BUSINESS
A. Village of Oak Brook — Cemetery Regulations — Text Amendment
Motion by Trustee Moy, seconded by Trustee Manzo to take from the table the motion
that was made and seconded at the last Village Board meeting, which motion was to
concur with the recommendation from the ZBA with regard to the approval of the
requested text amendments to the Zoning Ordinance as presented to the Village Board
relative to cemeteries and direct the Village Attorney to prepare the requisite Ordinance.
VOICE VOTE: Motion carried.
Trustee Moy stated that when the cemetery text amendments were presented, there were
some concerns by members of the Board. Since then, items have been discussed with all
parties involved and presently there is a consensus on adjustments to the text amendment.
Trustee Aktipis asked Community Development Director Kallien if he is satisfied with the
Village receiving notification from the cemeteries before a structure is built. Community
Development Director Kalllien stated yes.
Trustee Wolin stated that he is very optimistic that the Board will pass the cemetery text
amendment. He also stated that none of the stake holders will be 100% happy but that
this is a reasonable compromise. He had questions regarding the safety of 8 ft. structures
and the average size of structures. The Attorney for Bronswood Cemetery could not
answer the questions but stated he will pass the questions along to someone that can
answer them adequately.
Resident Tony DiCanio, an experienced Funeral Director, stated that typical structures are
6 ft. or less.
Trustee Manzo asked Mr. DiCanio if he is troubled with the proposed new regulations.
He stated no. Discussion ensued regarding cemetery regulations between Trustee Manzo
and Mr. DiCanio.
Trustee Aktipis thanked Mr. DiCanio for his input and insight regarding the cemetery
matter.
Trustee Wolin stated that the changes being recommended tonight are a positive step
forward for everyone involved.
VILLAGE OF OAK BROOK MINUTES Page 5 of 13 REGULAR MEETING OF DECEMBER 11, 2012
Trustee Yusuf stated that he wants to insure that the Village has a thorough document that
is not subject to ambiguity. He also stated that he is in favor of the amendment.
Trustee Aktipis stated that he agrees with Trustee Yusuf and that very specific language
on the meaning of landscape screening needs to be included.
Trustee Manzo thanked Trustee Moy and Community Development Director Kallien for
all their hard work on this issue. He stated that he feels uncomfortable with the way this
occurred. His opinion is that the Village strong armed the cemetery into doing what the
Village wanted them to do. He also stated that in no way is he trying to say something
negative and that he is happily surprised that an agreement was reached by all parties
involved. He warned everyone of the slippery slope of over regulation. He further stated
that good intentions sometimes are the catalyst to big oppressive government. He is torn
because he feels that this is a vote for big government but wants to support it because it
will put an end to this issue.
President Lalmalani stated that everyone is slightly unhappy but this issue needs to be
resolved.
Trustee Aktipis commented that he philosophically agrees with Trustee Manzo and is also
not in favor of big government. He feels that protecting the residents from abuses from
within the Village constitutes the need for minimal government.
Motion by Trustee Moy, seconded by Trustee Aktipis to include the following
adjustments to the recommended cemetery text amendment made by the ZBA:
1) There will be a maximum 8,000 sq ft. footprint for a community burial building.
2) There will be an 8 ft. perimeter landscaping provided only when there are 8 ft.
high memorial structures nearby
3) The Village will be notified whenever there is a structure higher than 8 ft. to be
built in the cemetery in the future.

Ayes: 5 — Trustees Aktipis, Manzo, Moy, Wolin, and Yusuf
Nays: 0 —None
Abstain: 0 — None
Absent: 0 — Trustee Zannis
Motion carried
Trustee Manzo called for the question.
Trustee Aktipis asked a question regarding the main height currently at the cemetery.
Community Development Director Kallien clarified what the current main height of
mausoleums are. Trustee Aktipis then objected to the current height stating that 45 ft is
too high.
VILLAGE OF OAK BROOK MINUTES Page 6 of 13 REGULAR MEETING OF DECEMBER 11, 2012
Trustee Yusuf stated he also initially had concerns but given the lay of the land, it is not a
too much of a concern to him as what he originally thought it would be.
Motion by Trustee Moy, seconded by Trustee Manzo to approve the ZBA regulations as
amended and to direct the Village Attorney to prepare the ordinance for consideration at
the next Board meeting.

988, An Ordinance Amending the Oak Brook Village Code to Set Special Detail Rates for
Police and Fire Services
Trustee Wolin stated that this effort started over 2 years ago. The decision was to hire an
outside consultant and form an adhoc committee to review the submitted proposals. He
also stated that the prior compensation system was flawed and caused compounding. One
VILLAGE OF OAK BROOK MINUTES Page 7 of 13 REGULAR MEETING OF DECEMBER 11, 2012
of the objectives of the study was to review comparable municipalities and the private
sector. He further stated that the new system will be based on merit and is a good system.
Trustee Aktipis acknowledged Don Adler and George Kline for their working on the
Citizens Finance Advisory Committee and for their recommendation of comparing
positions to both the public and private sectors.
Assistant Manager Wing discussed briefly the history of the project and discussed the
following:
• Shifting from a COLA Structure to a Merit and Bonus Structure
• Plan is Market Driven
• Ad Hoc Committee Adjusted Several Items
• Reduction of Fiscal Impact
• Allow the Village to Move from Good to Great
• Village will save $30,000 Annually While Maintaining Competitiveness
• Salary Range per Job Class
• Move 1 Full -time Employee and 21 Part-time Employees to the Minimum Rate
• Equity Adjustments
• Recommendations are within 2012 and 2013 Budgets
Assistant Manager Wing walked the Board through some examples of equity adjustments
and bringing employees to the grade minimum.
Trustee Yusuf asked about benefits for part-time employees. Assistant Manager Wing
stated employees who work over 1,000 in a year are automatically enrolled in the State of
Illinois Retirement Fund. He also stated that most part-time employees are not eligible
for benefits other than IMRF.
Trustee Manzo stated that he is not a big fan of the recommended adjustments or
comparables but is a big fan of the pay for performance model.
Resident George Klein questioned the CSO and Records Clerk positions. Chief Kruger
stated the proposed pay rates are comparable in DuPage County. Resident Klein also
stated that he is not in favor of equity adjustments. He also stated that the plan purports a
7 year equity model but he disagrees and stated that the numbers proposed are a 6 year
equity model.
Resident Don Adler questioned the bonus component of the plan. Assistant Manager
Wing explained the requirements that must be met for an employee to receive a
performance base bonus.
Trustee Wolin commended Assistant Manager Wing on his hard work and extensive
knowledge on many subjects.
VILLAGE OF OAK BROOK MINUTES Page 8 of 13 REGULAR MEETING OF DECEMBER 11, 2012
Trustee Yusuf stated that there is value in retaining good employees but suggested that the
increase to minimum for the 1 full -time employee and 21 part-time employees be a step
process and that equity adjustments for 8 full -time employees be capped at 2 %.
Trustee Moy stated that in some cases, we need to make that significant jump in bringing
some of the positions to minimum since qualified employees are leaving for higher paying
positions at other municipalities.
President Lalmalani asked Chief Kruger if he feels a significant jump in the CSO position
pay is needed. Chief Kruger stated yes since that is what other municipalities in DuPage
County are currently paying.
Trustee Aktipis stated that big gaps in salaries need to be adjusted quickly whereas small
gaps should be adjusted over time.
Manager Niemeyer recommended that the salary adjustments be made over a certain time
period. Trustee Yusuf stated he agrees and suggested 2 years.
Assistant Manager Wing explained how the salary structure was put together.
Trustee Manzo stated that the Village cannot be 30% - 40% under the mark on the CSO
position and still be able to get applicants for the position.
Manager Niemeyer stated that the outside market was determined by the consultant. He
also stated that the Village lowered where it is as compared to the market and that yearly
increases will be lower since it is no longer based on the cost of living.
Resident George Klein also mentioned that the motion also requests retro- active pay
going back to October 1, 2012. Assistant Manager Wing stated that the original
implementation date was January 1, 2012 but was pushed back several times. He also
stated that the money was set aside in the budget for this transition.
Trustee Aktipis stated that the intent is to retain employees and to bring their salaries up to
the market.
Assistant Manager Wing stated that he is willing to change the retro pay date to December
15, 2012 and to place a cap on the equity adjustments.
Motion by Trustee Wolin, seconded by Trustee Aktipis that the Village Board recognizes
that even during the continuation of uncertain economic times the Village has a very
dedicated, skilled, and reliable workforce. So, therefore, after a thorough analysis and the
June 2012 compensation report, I move to approve:
1. Effective January 1, 2013, adopt a new compensation plan that is both pay -for-
VILLAGE OF OAK BROOK MINUTES Page 9 of 13 REGULAR MEETING OF DECEMBER 11, 2012
performance based and market driven by approving Ordinance 2012 -PSTN-
COMP- SAP -EX -S -1359, An Ordinance Approving the 2013 Position
Classification, Salary Plan, and Salary Administration Policy for Employees of the
Village of Oak Brook, Illinois, subject to final staff and attorney changes, and
Ordinance 2012- PL- PD -FD -G -988, An Ordinance Amending the Oak Brook
Village Code to Set Special Detail Rates for Police and Fire Services.
2. Effective October 1, 2012, increase the hourly rate for the one (1) full -time and 21
part-time employees up to the minimum of the revised plan.
3. Effective October 1, 2012, authorize a pro -rated equity adjustment for 8 full -time
employees and 11 part-time employees with a 7 years to Midpoint target.
4. Lastly, the Village Board directs staff to work with the Ad -Hoc Compensation
Committee to finalize the Performance Evaluation & Coaching Form, create a
Performance -Based Bonus program, as well as continue to pursue opportunities to
reduce benefits using a "tiered" approach, balanced between a more conservative
package and offerings for new hires, while allowing the Village to still recruit
experienced employees who are likely to expect benefits similar to those found in
other public entities.

VILLAGE OF OAK BROOK MINUTES Page 10 of 13 REGULAR MEETING OF DECEMBER 11, 2012
Authorizing a Professional Services Agreement By and Between the Village of Oak
Brook and Hitchcock Design Group for Design Services Related to the Pedestrian Access
Project
Jeff Kennedy, Chairman of the Streetscape and Commercial Revitalization Committee,
stated that the Village previously approved a contract with Hitchcock Design Group in the
amount of $7,500 for preliminary analysis for creating pedestrian interfaces between
Oakbrook Center and the surrounding hotels and businesses. He gave a brief history of
the preliminary plan. He stated that meetings took place with local business
representatives, and as a result, a cost sharing arrangement for pedestrian access
improvements have been reached. The professional services agreement presented tonight
is to move through the preliminary design and engineering phase which will look into the
topography, potential utility conflicts, develop the actual locations and designs, and
working with the Committee, make decisions on the appearance. The final stage will be
turning this into bid documents. He stated that this will result in 8 different projects being
completed in 2013 and 2014. He further stated that there is $2.6M in the Streetscape Fund
and that the entire project cost is anticipated to be near $850,000, of which the Village is
estimated to pay for half.
President Lalmalani asked if the business community discussed how they plan on dividing
their share of the costs. Mr. Kennedy stated that he and Manager Niemeyer have a
meeting with a property manager of three major locations to discuss cost sharing.
Trustee Aktipis stated that this is a very logical move since the shopping center is
considered the Village's proxy downtown.
Motion by Trustee Manzo, seconded by Trustee Moy that the Village Board approve the
attached agreement with the Hitchcock Design Group for the Pedestrian Access Project
for an amount not to exceed $69,350.
