ANNOUNCEMENTS & OPEN FORUM:
Joe Fullan, 122 Timber View Drive, Oak Brook, Illinois, requested that lie read
into the record a letter addressed to Village Manager Veitch. He stated that on
Saturday, December 4, 1999 he arrived at the Village Hall at 8:30 a.m. to
participate in the annual Budget Workshop. Michael Crotty advised him that
the actual schedule was for 9:00 a.m. as the first order of business was a thirty
minute closed session. He decided not to remain for the open meeting but
before leaving requested a copy of the proposed Municipal Budget 2000. His
letter was his reaction to the executive summary in the copy of the proposed
Budget. He congratulated Village Manager Veitch and his staff for the
readability, high quality and completeness of the documents involved. The
results budgeted, incorporated into a management by objectives system of
analysis, is very understandable and quite comprehensive for someone not
trained in accounting procedures and the supporting statistical data rounds out
the picture very well for interested readers. The fact that the Village Manager

VILLAGE OF OAK BROOK Minutes Page 4 of 28 December 14, 1999
The Village of Oak Brook has drafted an ordinance which adopts the
International Property Maintenance Code as amended by the changes
set forth in Section 3 of the ordinance.
At the November 23, 1999 Village Board Meeting, staff presented the
1998 International Property Maintenance Code (with local
amendments) for discussion. From the discussion that ensued, staff
has made several changes that are now reflected in the final ordinance.
Language was developed to address maintenance issues relating to
existing water features including those designated as stormwater
management facilities (section 302.10). Additional language was also
drafted establishing parameters for the storage of construction
materials on an existing property (section 302.11).
In response to concerns raised by Trustee Savino that the previous
language was not adequate to address issues relating to water quality,
including odors originating from standing water, staff is
recommending some additional modifications that are also contained
in the final ordinance.
Motion by Trustee Savino, seconded by Trustee McInerney, that the
Village Board approve Ordinance 1999- CD -BC -EX 1 -G -649, "An
Ordinance Amending Chapter 5 Of The Code Of Ordinances Of The
Village Of Oak Brook Relating To Buildings And Building

ADOPTING THE BUDGET OF THE THE VILLAGE OF OAK
BROOK FOR 2000:
The ordinance adopts the 2000 budget. The entire ordinance includes
a revenue exhibit, an expenditure exhibit, and a fund summary. The
figures are as presented in the proposed budget document reviewed by
the Board at the budget workshop on December 4, 1999.

President Bushy acknowledged the Oak Brook budget is a year long
process. The Village Board begins each year by examining their
vision and mission statement. Village Board objectives are reviewed
early in the year that are then refined so staff has an idea of the elected
officials expectations. These are continually refined until it eventually
becomes the proposed budget dissected at the Budget Workshop with
final adoption this evening. She publicly commended Village
Manager Veitch, Finance Director Langlois, Assistant Village
Manager Crotty and the department heads for their efforts in this
process.
3) ORDINANCE # 1999 -PL -G -650 AN ORDINANCE CREATING
THE POSITION OF DEPUTY POLICE CHIEF IN THE
VILLAGE OF OAK BROOK POLICE DEPARTMENT:
Pursuant to the 2000 budget, the Village Attorney has drafted an
ordinance creating the position of Deputy Chief of Police and
authorizing the Police Chief to make the appointment.
President Bushy explained the Illinois legislature passed legislation
that allows the Chief of Police to appoint a Deputy Chief rather than
having it is a tested position in a different rank. If the Chief of Police
decides that the person shall no longer serve in that capacity, then that
person would revert back to the rank held before the appointment.
This is an important difference in the structure of the management of
that department and it is why this position was not appointed until
now. A Deputy Chief has been needed for quite some time but it is
the first time the Village is able to have one that is structured in the
appropriate way.
President Bushy noted in Section 2 of the ordinance where it states
the Village amend Section 11 -1. Composition of the Department, she

suggested that it read "Patrol Officers" rather than "Police Patrolmen"
in the listing of composition of the department.

4) RESOLUTION # 1999- SAP -EX2 -R -735 A RESOLUTION
APPROVING THE SALARY PLAN ADMINISTRATION
POLICY FOR NON -UNION EMPLOYEES FOR 2000:
The Village's Salary Administration Policy provides for pay ranges to
be adjusted as of each January 1 with due consideration given to the
change in the Chicago -Gary-Lake County "All Items" Consumer
Price Index ( "CPI ") for the twelve months ending on the preceding
September 30, the Employment Cost Index for Wages & Salaries
( "ECI ") published for the third quarter, and the pay practices of the
municipalities established through collective bargaining as the
Village's "labor comparables ". The Salary Administration Policy
also provides that the Salary Plan be further monitored by means of a
consultant pay and classification study on a triennial basis. The most
recent such review was completed in 1997 and implemented in 199S.
That review consisted of both an internal assessment of job
responsibilities relative to pay and an external market wage survey
using the comparable communities that were identified in the 1997
arbitration proceeding involving the Village and Teamsters Local 714
— Law Enforcement Division. The next pay and classification studv
is scheduled to take place in 2000 and be implemented in 2001.
The CPI, ECI and pay practices of the labor comparables were all
considered in developing a recommended 3.3 percent adjustment to
all pay grades for 2000. Although the September CPI was only 2.7
percent (.7 percent higher than the previous year), the ECI for wages
and salaries in the Midwest region was nearly a full percentage point
higher at 3.6. Additionally, the average May 1, 1999 range
adjustment among the Village's labor comparables was 3.27 percent.
VILLAGE OF OAK BROOK Minutes Page 7 of 28 December 14, 1999
RI.S ;'()') -SAP.
EX2 -735 2000
SALARY PLAN
NON -UNION
The Village's goal in setting the 2000 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. Given the 3.27 percent average adjustment
among the labor comparables, the recommended adjustment of 3.3
percent accomplishes this goal. The 2000 budget includes an overall
wage escalation figure of 3.5 percent for non -union positions.
Several positions have been re- classified in the 2000 Salary Plan to
reflect more accurately competitive pay practices in the market. The
Information Services Technician position is re- classified from Grade
5 to Grade 7 based on survey data obtained this year. Additionally,
the Police Sergeant position is re- classified from Grade 8 to a new
Grade 9 based on market data and changes in the job description over
the past two years. Finally, a review of the original pay groupings in
the 1997 pay and classification study show that four other positions
deemed internally comparable to the Police Sergeant position (i.e.
Golf Course Superintendent, Information Systems Specialist, Chief
Building Inspector, and Public Works General Foreman) also warrant
re- classification to the new Grade 9.
The 2000 Salary Plan has also been revised to incorporate several
new positions included in the 2000 Budget. The Deputy Police Chief
position is included in a new Grade 11. An Accountant position is
included in Grade 7 with a concurrent elimination of one Account
Clerk position vacated earlier this year. Other changes reflected
include:
• Re- titling the Secretary for the Library to Assistant Librarian,
reflecting common practice in the Library industry % vhere the
position provides services beyond that of pure
clerical /secretarial. There is no change in classification.
• Addition of an Engineering Technician in Grade 5.
• Creation of a Grade 5 Public Works Mechanic position to be
filled by the re- assignment of existing personnel.
• Re- classification of a seasonal Golf Professional to a FLSA
exempt full -time Associate Golf Professional in Grade 3 (this
position receives additional compensation in the form of lesson
commissions).
• Addition of a full -time Building Inspector in the Department of
Community Development and a full -time Fire Prevention
Inspector in the Fire Department, both in Grade 6.
VILLAGE OF OAK BROOK Minutes Page 8 of 28 December 14, 1999
F.
• Addition of a full -time Food & Beverage Manager in Grade 7
responsible for coordinating all food and beverage functions of
the Sports Core.
• The title of Plan Reviewer /Chief Building Inspector has been
shortened to Chief Building Inspector. There is no change in
job duties.
Several of the amendments clarify that the ECI for wages and salaries
for the Midwest region is one of the indices used when establishing
the range adjustment. The other amendment provides for a 40% range
spread for the new Grade 11. The current Salary Administration
Policy provides for a 45% range spread for the two highest grades (i.e.
department head positions) and a 35% range spread for all other
positions. The 40% range spread for new Grade 11 was necessary in
order to ensure that the minimum salary was greater than that of
Grade 10, but less than the minimum salary of Grade 12. Further, it is
not uncommon among pay plans that the range spread progressively
widens at the higher grades.
Motion by Trustee Savino, seconded by Trustee McInerney, to adopt

AMENDING THE FAIR LABOR STANDARDS ACT
POLICIES FOR THE VILLAGE OF OAK BROOK:
The resolution amends the Fair Labor Standards Act Policy in
conjunction with the adoption of the 2000 Salary Plan. The Policy
lists the titles of positions that are considered to be exempt under the
FLSA. Four new positions (namely, Accountant, Associate Golf
Professional, Deputy Police Chief and Food & Beverage Manager)
included in the 2000 Budget are proposed to be designated as FLSA-
exempt. The only other change is the shortening of the Plan
Reviewer /Chief Building Inspector title to Chief Building Inspector.

AMENDING ARTICLES IV V AND VI OF THE PERSONNEL
MANUAL OF THE VILLAGE OF OAK BROOK:
The adoption of the 2000 Village of Oak Brook Salary Plan and the
2000 Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) Policy require that the
Personnel Manual be amended to incorporate several new positions in
the appropriate sections. Specifically, Article IV, Section 4.03 B 1
lists the employees considered to be exempt from FLSA regulations.
Per the 2000 Fair Labor Standards Act Policy, the Manual has been
amended to include the new Accountant, Associate Golf Professional,
Deputy Police Chief and Food & Beverage Manager among those
exempt positions.
Similarly, Article VI, Section 6.02 C 1 is amended to include the new
positions of Accountant, Associate Golf Professional, Building
Inspector, Deputy Police Chief, Engineering Technician, Fire
Prevention Inspector, Food & Beverage Manager and Mechanic in the
Village -wide safety incentive program. The section has also been
changed to reflect a Community Development Department separate
from Fire, and the re- titling of the Library Secretary to Assistant
Librarian and the Plan Reviewer /Chief Building Inspector to Chief
Building Inspector.
In addition to those amendments necessitated by the 2000 Salary Plan
and Fair Labor Standards Policy, Section 5.02 C 3 has been amended
to clarify that patterns of sick leave use may cause suspicion of sick
leave abuse.

7) ORDINANCE #1999-PL-G-652 AN ORDINANCE AMENDING
SECTIONS 5 -9 AND 6 -1 OF THE CODE OF ORDINANCES
OF THE VILLAGE OF OAK BROOK IL:
Currently, Section 5 -9 of _ the Code of Ordinances provides that
whenever the term "Building Official" is used it means the person so
appointed by the Board. Section 6 -1 of the Code designates the Fire
Chief as the "Building Commissioner ". These two Code sections,
while functioning in a somewhat redundant fashion at present, are not
in conflict given the current organization structure in which the
Director of Community Development reports to the Fire Chief.
However, with the separation of Fire and Community Development
as of the first of the year a separation of enforcement functions needs
to be reflected in the Code. Fire prevention code enforcement is
intended to remain with the Fire Department and that function is
provided for in the reference fire prevention codes adopted within
Chapter 6. Building code enforcement is intended to be a function of
the new Community Development Department.
In order to reflect the enforcement functions of the two departments
properly in the Code, the Village Manager has recommended revision
of Section 5 -9 to designate the Director of Community Development
as the Building Official. The Village Manager has also recommended
that Section 6 -1, which would be in conflict with the revised Section
5 -9, be repealed. The ordinance will accomplish the appropriate
changes.
Motion by Trustee Savino, seconded by Trustee McInerney, to
approve Ordinance #1999-PL-G-652, "An Ordinance Amending
Sections 5 -9 and 6 -1 of the Code of Ordinances of the Village of Oak
Brook, IL," to designate the Director of Community Development as
the "Building Official" as presented and waive the full reading

AMENDING ORDINANCE G -642 THE TRAFFIC CODE OF
THE VILLAGE OF OAK BROOK IL AS AMENDED BY
REPEALING THE PROHIBITED TURNS ON 31s' STREET
AND HUNT CLUB DRIVE:
In 1985, the York Woods Community Association petitioned the
Village Board to establish turning restrictions during certain times of
the day in order to mitigate cut - through traffic that was occurring
within the subdivision at that time. The Village Board agreed and
paragraphs three and four of Schedule IX of Appendix C, Traffic
Regulations, list these restrictions.
At the last Village Board meeting of November 23, 1999, Trustee
Savino questioned whether the need for those restrictions still existed.
Upon review of the file by the Village Engineer, it appears that the
need no longer exists. Village Engineer Durfey has contacted Barbara
Lang, President of the York Woods Community Association, to ask
her opinion of the current status of those restrictions. Her response
was that the conditions may no longer exist and that the restrictions
could be removed. Staff would then -see if any negative impacts
occur. Attorney Martens has drafted the ordinance which removes
Sections three and four from Schedule IX.
Motion by Trustee Craig, seconded by Trustee McIneney, that the
Village Board adopt Ordinance #1999 -TC- TRN -G -653, "An
Ordinance Amending Ordinance G -642, the Traffic Code of the

COMMITTEE - IMPLEMENTATION OF 2000 MARKETING 2000 MK rc
CAMPAIGN: CAMPAIGN
On October 12, 1999, and upon the recommendation of the Hotel,
Convention & Visitors Committee, the Village Board authorized staff
to negotiate a contract with BVK/McDonald for the development and
implementation of the 2000 marketing campaign. The resulting
contract is attached, and the-Committee recommended on December
8, 1999 that the Board approve the marketing campaign.
The contract details the campaign which includes a not -to- exceed
amount of $108,870 payable to BVK/McDonald for implementation
and coordination services with $186,039 ($221,039 less $20,000 in
matching funds from the DuPage Convention and Visitors Bureau
and $15,000 from Oakbrook Center) payable to various vendors for
costs associated with the individual projects. Not included in the
VILLAGE OF OAK BROOK Minutes Page 13 of 28 December 14, 1999
contract, but listed among the 1999 projects is continued
advertisement in the DuPage Visitors Guide. This project is not
coordinated through BVK/MeDonald.
One of the primary projects included in the 2000 campaign is the
holding of a Meeting Planners "Open House" event early in the year.
The event will introduce meeting planners to the four hotels in Oak
Brook and is aimed at securing future conference /meeting bookings.
Another new feature aimed at leisure travelers is a shopping rewards
program that encourages overnight stays in addition to mall shopping.
The program will be promoted through designated postcard mailings
and advertisements. Visitors who stay in one of the four Oak Brook
hotels and who spend a certain amount of money at the mall would
receive a free night's stay to be used at a later date.

D. APPROVAL OF MUNICIPAL BUILDING PROJECT CONCEPT
DESIGN:
The very lengthy concept design phase of this project has reached
another conclusion and, in order to continue work on it, staff seeks
the Board's approval of the concept and authorization to move into
the design development and final design phases of the project.
Harbour Contractors, Inc. ( "HCI ") has been a vital member of the
team since they came on board this summer and has worked very
effectively with the architect, EarthTech (formerly Rust Environment
and Infrastructure, Inc.) and with Village staff.
CONCEPT DESIGN
In May 1998, EarthTech (then Rust) presented two concepts for
expansion of the Village Hall, including a new fire station. Both
concepts were thought to be way too costly and the staff and
architects "went back to the drawing board" on the projected space
needs, building concept and site plan. Shortly afterwards, staff
determined to expand the project scope and budget to include the
Police Department renovation and the electrical /mechanical/HVAC
project that were in our plans for the existing Village Hall (and must
be done in any event). The idea was that by planning them as one
VILLAGE OF OAK BROOK Minutes
Page 15 of 28 December 14, 1999
MUN. BLDG.
DESIGN
project the Village might be able to design a more efficient solution
and achieve some economy of scale not from through pursuing three
separate projects.
Earlier this year, a new concept was developed that included all of the
work mentioned in the preceding paragraph. It involved a large
addition on the west side of the Village Hall and smaller additions on
the north and south sides related to the Police Department. Its
estimated cost, nearly $8.5 million, was still too high, but the project
did have some scale economies and that figure provided a solid basis
from which to work to reduce cost.
It was at this point that staff brought in HCI to work with EarthTech
and the Village to value engineer the project to meet our needs at a
lower cost. Significant changes include:
• There is only one addition, on the west, and that addition is one
level only.
• The Police Department is expanded into part of the existing
atrium, obviating the need to expand on the north and south.
• The Police Department has sacrificed the limited interior parking
it currently maintains.
• The Fire Department has sacrificed the full drive - through
apparatus room concept for a partial drive - through concept.
• The design is more compact in that it is not required to
accommodate maintaining old Station 1 during construction.
• The multi - purpose training room /divisible conference room /EOC
has been reduced in size in recognition of the availability of other
venues for larger training sessions and meetings.
PRELIMINARY COST OPINION AND PROJECT SCHEDULE
The re- engineered concept has allowed HCI to reduce the preliminary
estimate by more than $1 million, resulting in the current estimate of
$7.4 million. Our target is $7.0 million, the figure reflected in the
2000 -2004 Five -Year Financial Plan and one that staff thinks can be
approache4 in the design development and final design phases. Staff
also has the opportunity to consider funding some site work (which
would have to be done regardless) through the Infrastructure Fund, as
the Village has done at the Sports Core and in conjunction with the
Library project. Finally, staff is researching the availability of
financial assistance through grants.
VILLAGE OF OAK BROOK Minutes
Page 16 of 28 December 14, 1999
All departments have revisited their space needs and the plan relies
even more heavily on flexible work and records storage areas.
Tom Jacobs, Vice President of EarthTech, addressed the Village
Board on the concept design of the proposed project. Eighteen
months ago Earthtech presented a concept solution at that time to the
Village Board. Since that time the project scope has increased and
they were requested to add in programming and design for the Police
Department expansion and inclusion of renovation of the HVAC on
the electrical system of the existing Village Hall. The goal was to
increase the scope and realize some economies due to scale of
providing a larger project. They anticipate building a 33,000 sq. ft.
building addition, increase the on -site parking count by 100 cars,
improve traffic flow through the site, provide for on -site stormwater
detention due to this improvement, remodel 80% of the existing
Police Department, demolish (as required by code) the existing Fire
Station and include upgrades to the existing mechanical and electrical
systems.
The main thrust of the site plan layout and a goal of the Fire
Department were to have the apparatus bay and vehicles exit onto
Jorie Boulevard with a drive through apparatus bay. Traffic signals
will be provided here, which preempt the Fire Station and are
coordinated with the traffic signals on 3111 Street to provide quick exit
for the apparatus trucks. The major entry into the municipal complex
for vehicles will be off of Spring Road as a majority of customer
parking is north of the site.
One -acre foot of storage is needed for stormwater detention at the site
with some oak trees being displaced due to the parking and detention
area. It is envisioned to enhance the landscaping along 31" Street
with evergreen trees that are transplanted to that area.
In the new addition, the Fire Department operations, Community
Development, Information Services/Purchasing and Engineering
Department will be relocated to this area. Shared spaces of a
community room, conference center, training center and relocation of
the employee lounge area are also located in the new addition. The
benefit of relocating the Engineering Department and employee
lounge area to the new addition allows the Police Department to
expand into those vacated areas. The new entry includes a small
lobby, directional display and a walk -up window for Engineering and
VILLAGE OF OAK BROOK Minutes Page 17 of 28 December 14, 1999
W03
Community Development. A multi - purpose room is located off the
lobby with folding partitions to divide the area into three separate
conference rooms or one 1,600 sq. ft. training center. The space and
the adjoining space act as the new Emergency Operations Center for
the Village. Construction around this parameter will be more
protective against inclement weather with the addition of a concrete
lid on the roof. Adjoining the conference room due to the EOC
function.' is a newly located Communication Center and
miscellaneous storage area. The Fire Department operations include
four double deep apparatus bays with two drive - through bays for safe
circulation of the site.
In order to increase the square footage needs and to meet the program
needs of the Police Department it is envisioned building into the
atrium area of the Village Hall. On the first floor, the project will
start at the elevator to the turn around stair with the same footprint on
the lower level. The first floor is the Police Department
administration with sergeants, division commanders, conference
rooms and records with public access. Also on the first floor is the
juvenile detention area. On the lower level is the roll call room and
area for detectives to reside. The men's locker room is being
expanded and relocated as well as the women's locker room into the
former Engineering Department area. The fire range and cell lockup
area will remain in their present location. The underground storage of
police vehicles will change and it will be an area for discharge of
detainees, a two bay area with a bay for large evidence storage and
expanded evidence room.
It is envisioned replacement of the existing mechanical equipment as
it appears to be at an end of its useful life and the electrical service
needs to be upgraded to allow for the addition. The existing building
is 34,000 square feet and the proposed addition is 33,000 square feet
on one floor. Combined like functions have been developed in the
addition to facilitate customer service in the permitting process. By
adding an addition to the existing Village Hall, they recommend the
layout will influence and enhance interdepartmental communication
between the different departments. The community space also has a
benefit for its multi -use function. It serves staff members as a
conference room, training center' and may be made available for the
community.

Marshall Olson, Vice President of Estimating Construction Services
for Harbour Contractors, Inc., addressed the Village Board on the
conceptual estimate of the cost of the proposed project. The estimate
is $7,406,000 with a small contingency for life safety and site utility
work. The schedule for the project is two years and the design
concept, if approved, would be completed in approximately three to
four months. The first month would include architectural drawings,
refining the layout with various department heads and then proceed
with working drawings. It is their goal to work with these people
during the design to ensure maintaining the budget, review products
and material selections. They have included in their estimate new
HVAC units to be placed on the existing building roof to serve that
building and rooftop units to serve the new facility.
The tentative schedule, if the project is approved, is to go out for
public bid in June and have an authorization to proceed so they can
mobilize in mid -June and break ground around July, 2000. They
propose to first address the existing parking requirements due to the
large number of parking spaces being added and for the building to be
operational. In order to construct the parking area, they need to
relocate the utility work in phases so that our existing building may
operate. This phase may take from July to November, 2000. There is
a lot of work to be done outside with an approximate cost of
$1,000,000 including the detention basin and roadwork. After
November 1, 2000 with parking available, they envision the work
schedule of ten months for the west addition. At the conclusion of
that time, they would have the shell enclosed, include partition work
and move employees out of their existing area into the new addition.
Then they would begin remodeling their former spaces one area at a
time in order not to interrupt services. They estimate an eight -month
period for remodeling the two levels. They envision employees
moving into the west addition around Labor Day in 2001 and May,
2002 for completion of the existing building remodeling. In
conclusion, the first four months is reconfiguration of the parking
area, the next ten months is the building addition and the balance of
time is rehabilitation of the existing facility. Fire Station One will
remain as long as possible until they begin excavation.
Trustee Savino asked that the building be enhanced esthetically for
our residents. President Bushy stated that it would be a design
challenge to stay within the budget and do any decorative work with
such a modernistic style building. One enhancement will be work

done by a landscape architect for the site. It is hoped that the oak
trees could be replaced with a new grove of oak trees. There is an
organization from the East Coast that sells trees and seedlings from
historic sites. She suggested it would be a wonderful historic thing to
enhance this site and the Library site as a learning experience for
children and residents.
Trustee Savino suggested skylights at the entrance of the facility.
President Bushy stated the clear story windows will remain there and
most of the natural light will be preserved in that area. Village
Manager Veitch commented that daylight could be expanded in the
entryway of the building. President Bushy noted that space is
available in the foyer of this building for built -in cabinets. The
Village has received some of the original sterling silver trophies from
the horse shows and was gifted Paul Butler's silver desk set that
could be displayed as some of the historical mementos of Oak
Brook's early days.

8. INFORMATION & UPDATES:
A. VILLAGE PRESIDENT:
President Bushy reported on the Economic Development Committee
for the Metropolitan Mayors Caucus. The Committee completed their
work and has agreed on the packet of submittals being presented to
the Governor's Office. 'President Bushy will be one of the mayors
that will make the presentation to Governor Ryan along with Mayor
Nancy Firfer of Glenview and Mayor Irwin Bock of Hanover Park.
As a member of the Legislative Committee, DuPage Mayors and
Managers Conference, they have recently completed their work of
their legislative package to be presented to the Illinois legislature.
They will be meeting January 15, 2000 with the Illinois
representatives and senators that represent the various districts in
DuPage County and they will present their legislative package to them
at that time.
Staff has prepared for the Y2K event and our employees will be at
work at full strength beginning at 9:00 p.m. with our Emergency
Operation Center staffed and they will be in contact with the DuPage
County Emergency Operation Center as well as some of our local
businesses. The Village will be at full operation well past midnight at
which time they will assess what is happening locally and regionally
to determine what needs to be addressed. She commended the
Village's staff for their willingness to protect our residents and
property during this time. Staff has excelled in their planning and
volunteering that evening. If any residents have questions or
comments regarding Y2K or burning of unusual products in their
fireplaces, please contact the Village Hall.
She attended an event, Christmas Calls, at Merrill Lynch's office in
Oak Brook where they offered free telephone service to people from
Chicago that are unable to afford contacting their families during the

holidays. These people are bused to their office and use their
telephone system as long as they wish. They provide refreshments for
these families and Santa Claus gave small gifts for the children.
Christmas cards and postage were also provided for the participants.
AT & T also participated in this event providing telephone cards with
minutes. She commended both companies for their kind gesture
during the holiday season. Any Village Board members are welcome
to join her next year at this event.
President Bushy requested that she wished to make an announcement
as a resident of Oak Brook. She turned the gavel over to Trustee
McInerney to chair the meeting during her presentation.
Karen Bushy, 229 Bridle Path Circle, addressed the Village Board
regarding Village residents that wish 31" Street expanded from York
Road to Jorie Boulevard. This currently is a subject of a lawsuit with
the Village as the defendant due to a resident who has decided that
this road should not be widened. As a citizen of this Village, she feels
this is an unconscionable thing that has happened. In order to move
this project toward fruition; citizens may sign a petition to place a
referendum question on the ballot for the March election. This
referendum would provide voters with the opportunity to vote on
whether or not they would authorize the Village of Oak Brook to sell
just over 4 acres, in a linear strip, of the Sports Core property to widen
the road. The value of this project, as residents, is that a median strip
would be placed in the center of the roadway with protected turn bays
for the Library entrance and the Sports Core. This would also make it
easier for our public service vehicles to maneuver through rush hour
traffic to the east side of our community for emergency situations.
She has a supply of petitions at her home that offer this opportunity to
place this on the ballot. Please contact her at home at 323 -7363 as
over 600 signatures are required before January 3, 2000.
Trustee Savino commented as a Trustee that one of the foremost
responsibilities is to see to the health and welfare of our residents.
Getting emergency vehicles to the east portion of our community
during rush hour is very difficult. This is a very important issue and
hopefully we will receive enough signatures and that it will pass when
placed on the ballot.
Village Attorney Martens indicated that this is getting the matter
before the voters. As a Village Board, corporate body or Trustees
they are not taking a position, as the residents should vote one way or
another on this matter. This matter may be brought before the voters
by these signed petitions for the March referendum. The deadline for
the petitions to be filed is January 3, 2000.

appreciation for this program and that they look forward to continued
interaction with the Chief of Police and his representatives.
At the Board of Fire and Police Commission meeting held on Wednesday;
November 17, 1999, Sergeant William Haas was promoted to the rank of
Lieutenant. Officer Randy Mucha was promoted to the rank of Sergeant. The
swearing in ceremony was held on Wednesday, November 24, 1999 at 8:00
a.m. in the Samuel E. Dean Board Room. Both officer's family and friends
were in attendance along with many Village employees.
Fire Department - Fire Chief Jarvis - For the month of November, 1999 Fire
Rescue calls totaled 57, with Mutual Aid given seven (7) times and received
seven (7) times. Ambulance calls totaled 96, with Mutual Aid given five (5)
times and received six (6) times. Fire Prevention contacts included 437 Fire
Inspections, 14 Call Back Inspections and 44 Alarm System Tests.
Significant Emergency Incidents: On Thursday, November 18; 1999, the Oak
Brook fire personnel responded to Hinsdale for a mutual aid Box Alarm, and
we responded and assisted with smoke removal.
On Friday, November 19, 1999 Oak Brook responded to a possible hazardous
materials incident, in the Forest Gate subdivision. Upon arrival, fire crews
were told that a construction vehicle had run over a device that measures soil
density and that the device contained radioactive material. A Hazardous
Material Mutual Aid Box Alarm was called. Fire personnel conducted
reconnaissance and isolated the scene to insure that a safe zone was
established. On -going radioactive monitoring of the site and personnel was
conducted to insure contamination did not occur. Fortunately, the device was
not leaking radioactivity. The Illinois Department of Nuclear Safety assisted
with disposal. Mutual aid was received from Yorkfield, Hillside, Downers
Grove and Westmont.
On Thursday, November 25, 1999, the Oak Brook fire personnel, in a dual
response with York Center and Lombard Fire Departments, responded to an
auto accident with extrication at Butterfield and Meyers Road. Oak Brook
paramedics transported one patient in serious condition to Good Samaritan
Hospital, while suppression crews assisted with extrication and hose line
safety.
During a recent two -week period, fire crews responded to the Shell Gas
Station, at Midwest Road and 22 "' Street four times for gasoline spill
mitigation. The station was apparently having problems with the automatic
shut -off on their pump nozzles. Fire Prevention personnel were notified and
met with the station owner to solve the problem. All new nozzles were
subsequently installed on all the pumps.
Training: Fire Training was conducted on the new OSHA 2 -in 2 -out
regulation. This is a federal (and state) regulation requiring that before
firefighters can enter a hazardous atmosphere, two additional fire personnel
VILLAGE OF OAK BROOK Minutes Page 25 of 28 December 14, 1999

must be standing by outside and ready to perform a rescue in the event the
firefighters become trapped. The only exception to this rule is in the case of a
known rescue. Six personnel attended Spanish class for emergency medical
personnel. Four paramedics attended pediatric Advanced Life Support class
and were certified. All Oak Brook paramedics successfully completed the
semi - annual written exam.
Public Education: The Oak Brook Fire Department is once again participating
in the Toy Express Drive that runs from mid - November through Christmas.
Toy Express benefits local families in need. New toys or used toys in good
condition can be dropped off at either of the two Oak Brook fire stations
through December 21, 1999. There was one CPR class of eight people at
Medical Hair Restoration. Blood pressure screenings of 23 people were
conducted at the Oak Brook Club. There was one station tour of 20 Cub
Scouts and 5 adults.
Public Works & Engineering: Trustee Craig - Street Division - 1999 Paving
and Water Main Project - Entire project is substantially complete with only
punch list items outstanding, which will be completed next spring.
1999 Safety Pathway Project - Both sites (along Wood Glen Land and south
York Road) are substantially complete. Next spring, the Village is hoping to
install a crosswalk on York Road and are working with DuPage County for
permission.
Forest Gate Subdivision - substantially all of the water mains, sanitary sewers
and storm sewers have been installed and most of the mass grading has been
accomplished. Installation of the bicycle path on Forest Gate Road is complete
and sod has been placed on Jorie Boulevard and Forest Gate Road. Work is
continuing on the four residential building permits and the guardhouse.
2000 Paving - A second meeting with the Woodside Estates residents was held
December 1, 1999 in which the residents reviewed the preliminary plans for
the roadway with concrete shoulders and roadside swales. Staff is checking on
a few issues raised at the meeting and the consultant will then finalize the plans
over the next month.
For the past month, Street crews have been involved exclusively with out leaf
collection program. We completed a final pass throughout the entire Village
on Monday and Tuesday to conclude this year's program. For the year, we
have collected 4,732 cubic yards and incurred 528,306 in dump (tip) fees
compared to 3,676 cubic yards and $22,188 in dump fees for last year's
program. Presently, all Street department equipment is being converted and
readied for salting and snow plowing operations. We anticipate that all
equipment will be ready by Friday, December 10, 1999.
Water Division - Once again, the Water division was kept busy repairing water
main breaks during the past month. For the year, we have experienced 73
breaks compared to 33 for the same period last year. Typically, we average

b_/1
approximately 60 breaks per year. This year's substantial total is due in large
part to the extremely dry weather conditions experienced over the summer.
Without sufficient moisture, the soil dries out, shrinks and shift. This shifting
causes our older oast iron water mains to crack. Note, this is not something
unique to Oak Brook. In talking with other area departments, they too, have
experienced an increase in water main breaks.
Trustee Savino inquired of the crosswalk on York Road and if it was striped.
Village Manager Veitch indicated an area has been identified with the
maximum sight distance in both directions and it would be striped with signage
in advance of the area.
Village Clerk: Clerk Gonnella - A Liquor Manager seminar was held last week
for all of the establishments in Oak Brook-that have liquor licenses. President
Bushy, Police Chief Pisarek, Officers Nugent, Jacobs and she explained the
Village's rules and regulations for a liquor license and staff will be meeting
further to discuss procedures to follow for license violations that may occur.
To date 85 taxi driver licenses have been issued as the Village continues to
have drivers apply for a Village driver license.
Renewal of liquor licenses was completed this week with 15 licenses being
renewed. Opus Restaurant is still under construction and has not received a
certificate of occupancy.
The scavenger /solid waste hauler license applications were completed last
week and are before the Village Board this evening for approval.
Staff will be meeting with Minolta next week for a presentation for their index
system they have devised for our electronic scanning of documents. The work
surface area has been completed in the Village Archives so that the Deputy
Clerk may begin scanning of documents once our index system is
implemented.
Village President: President Bushy - Bath & Tennis Club - The concrete
paving of the pool deck was completed on December 7, 1999. It is curing and
the consultant and contractor are considering scheduling of the next phase
which is the Sundek application.
Food service employees have completed the sanitation training required by the
Health Department.
The Bath & Tennis staff will be preparing provisions for the employees
working on New Year's Eve. The generator has been installed and is fully
functional.
