Zoning Appeals heard the request of Kitchens
of Sara Lee for a modification of the sign ordinance to allow the placement,
of a new directional /identification sign at the corner of Waukegan and Kates
Road. The BZA found the proposed 32 sq.ft., back -lit, plastic sign unaccept -.
able and adjourned the meeting until May 8, 1984, to permit Sara Lee to pre-
sent a new design.,

24 sq. ft. and similar to the existing signs on the property. The Board of

cation to allow the 24 sq..ft. sign be,granted with the following stipulation:
the method of illumination is similar to existing signs and precludes glare
onto Waukegan Road.

tion of the BZA and - direct the Village Attorney to prepar.e,the necessary ordi-
nance.

.is needed to complete all requirements for final plat approval:
Motion: Trustee Seidman moved, seconded by Trustee Jackson, that the request
for a 6 -month extension for the preliminary plat be approved. Motion carried

IMRF CONTRIBUTIONS Finance Director .George Valentine advised the
EMPLOYER PAID Board that due to Public Act 83 -507 passed by
RESOLUTION R -84 -07 the State Legislature in 1983, beginning July 1,
1984, all IMRF employers must pay members' con-
tributions directly to IMRF on behalf of all IMRF employee members.
There are'two methods for implementing the pickup plan:
1. Salary increase: The employee's salary remains at its current gross level
and the Village pays the IMRF contribution through in-
creased cost to the .Village.
2. No Salary increase: The employee's gross salary is reduced, as in the past,
by,the amount of the IMRF contribution. But, since the
contribution will now be designated "employer" contribution,
rather than employee contribution, under Sec. 414(h) of the
Internal Revenue Code, the contribution is excluded from the
employee's gross salary and the employee will not pay State
or Federal income tax on that IMRF contribution as he had in
the past.. Therefore, the employee's take home pay will be
slightly larger than when Federal & State income tax was
witheld on his IMRF contribution. This method will result
in a.benefit to the employee with no increased cost to the
village.
Mr. Valentine added that Social Security and Pension credits (computed on gross
salary) are not affected by the changed IMRF payment method.
i
Motion: Trustee Marty moved, seconded by Trustee Seidman, to adopt the Resolution
providing that in compliance with Sec. 7 -173.2 of the Illinois Pension Code, as of
July 1, 1984, contributions to the Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund will be made
directly to the Fund by tie Village of Deerfield and that payment shall be made
by reducing the amount of the employees' gross earnings by the amount of the
contribution. Motion carried unanimously.
PENALTY Village Attorney Stucko advised the,Board that
MUN. CODE AMENDMENT it would be wise to.bring the Municipal Code
ORDINANCE NO. 0 -84 -21 into conformity with State statutes regarding
the penalty for driving under the influence
of alcohol, other drugs, etc. into conformity with State statutes.
Motion: Trustee Seidman moved, seconded by Trustee Marty, to waive the rules
to permit passage of the ordinance on first reading. Motion carried unanimously.
Trustee Seidman moved, seconded by Trustee Jackson, to pass the ordinance amend-
ing Section 22 -19 of Chapter 22 of the Municipal Code. Motion carried on the
following vote:

MAYOR BERNARD FORREST
STATEMENT REGARDING DRIVING UNDER THE INFLUENCE
In reviewing recent monthly Police reports, I have been very pleased with the
strict enforcement of the "Driving Under the Influence" ordinances. Changes
in the law,legislated as a result of recommendations by the Secretary of State's
Office in 1983, have led to better enforcement of these regulations and this, in
turn, has made our streets safer.
In calendar year 1983, the Deerfield Police Department arrested a total of 140 such
offenders. Of this number, 91 cases have gone to Court, 80 were found guilty, 11
were either reduced, dismissed or not prosecuted for a variety of reasons. The
average fine exceeded $400 and the findings of guilty included the offender's
being required to attend DUI school (at the offender's expense) and one year's
supervision. Of the 140 arrests, 49 cases are still pending.'
Thus far in 1984, in just 4 months, the Police have made 134 DUI arrests. I sup -
port and encourage strict enforcement and want to warn all motorists within our
corporate limits - - -IF YOU DRINK, DON'T DRIVE...AND ESPECIALLY, DON'T DRIVE THROUGH
DEERFIELD.
