people as possible. These included: landscaping changes, reduction in building

Ed Winter of 453 Woodvale commented that he
would not like.to see 10' sidewalks in his neighborhood. Trustee Ragona,
Chairperson of the Bike Path Task Force, responded that this provision was
intended for any new subdivisions that might be built. It would probably not be
possible in established neighborhoods such as Mr. winter's. He suggested that
Mr. Winter.and his neighbors contact him to discuss the matter in more detail.
APPROVAL OF AN AMENDMENT TO THE Chris Siavelis and Arnie Malk of CRM
REDEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT RE Properties Group, explained that CRM is
DEERFIELD SQUARE seeking approval of an amendment to the
redevelopment agreement for Deerfield Square.
Under the current terms of the agreement, the Village has the right of first
refusal in the event of the sale of the facility and also the right of approval
of any purchaser of the facility. CRM has since learned that lenders will not
proceed with their mortgage so long as these requirements remain in the agreement
and request that they be removed.
Trustee Rosenthal commented that these
provisions were put into the agreement to protect the Village from past problems
with an absentee landlord. She recommended that a clause be added to the
requested amendment stating that, in the event of a default by CRM, notice will
immediately be given to the Village. Marty O'Connor of Key Bank, servicer of
record for the loan, responded that this request would be acceptable to the bank.

2002. The conceptual design of the overpass structure is complete, as is the ADA
compliance issue; however, the Village has decided to investigate the feasibility
of also constructing a pedestrian underpass as part of the project. A design
study will be completed to determine the safest and best alternatives for the
underpass, and it will be incorporated into the Pedestrian Bridge Report. In
order for Deerfield to accomplish the additional design studies, IDOT has
prepared an amendment (Amendment No. 1) to the original agreement, extending the
duration of the agreement to March 30, 2003. Mrs. Little requests that Mayor
Harris be authorized to execute Amendment No. 1.
Trustee Ragona made a motion to authorize
Mayor Harris to execute the amendment. Trustee Rosenthal seconded the motion.
The motion passed unanimously.
RESOLUTION R -02 -02 AUTHORIZING This year the Village of Deerfield's private
REALLOCATION OF 2002 VOLUME CAP OF activity bond cap amount is $1,381,500. It
PRIVATE ACTIVITY BOND is unlikely that any current Deerfield
business will need this as it is somewhat
restricted to industrial uses or low /moderate income multi- family housing
projects. The City of Yorkville has offered Deerfield 2% of the total cap amount
($27,633) as a fee for ceding its bonding authority to them. The Finance
Director recommends acceptance of this offer.
Trustee Ragona made a motion to adopt the
resolution ceding the Village's bonding authority to the City of Yorkville for a
fee of $27,633. Trustee Rosenthal seconded the motion. The motion passed by the
following vote:
AYES: Kayne, Ragona, Rosenthal, Seiden, Swanson, Wylie (6)
NAYS: None (0)
APPROVAL OF REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL The Village Board has been discussing in
(RFP) FOR PROFESSIONAL PLANNING Committee of the Whole the need for updating
CONSULTANT SERVICES - COMPREHENSIVE the Comprehensive Plan. An RFP has been
PLAN UPDATE prepared outlining the scope of services
desired. The RFP can be further revised and
adapted as the process of seeking a suitable firm progresses. Staff would like
to send out the RFP this week, have responses due from interested firms by March
1st, and have a recommendation on who to retain to present to the Board at the
first meeting in April.
Trustee Swanson made a motion to authorize
staff to proceed with the RFP process. Trustee Rosenthal seconded the motion.
The motion passed unanimously.
DISCUSSION RE INTERGOVERNMENTAL The police and fire chiefs in the East Shore
AGREEMENT - PRELIMINARY DESIGN Radio Network (Deerfield, Bannockburn,
SERVICES FOR CENTRAL DISPATCH Highland Park, Highwood, Lake Bluff, and Lake
CENTER Forest) have been exploring the possibility
of establishing .a Central Dispatch Center for
this area. The study is in a very preliminary stage, but Highland Park is asking
each of the communities to share costs in studying whether a regional telecom-
munications center can be built as part of a new police.building on the site of
Highland Park's current police headquarters on Deerfield Road. The cost to
Deerfield for the study is $2,013.
Board of Trustees Meeting
February 4, 2002
Page 6 of 7
Chief Sliozis commented that there would need
to be a great deal of discussion and evaluation before making a decision on
whether a central dispatch center would be a good idea for Deerfield. Mr. Franz
commented, and Chief Sliozis agreed, that even if Deerfield ultimately decides
against the concept, it is worth $2,000 to study the matter. Chief Sliozis added
that there is currently a lot of duplication of equipment. There could be
substantial savings in this area, as well as a reduction in personnel. He noted
that the Deerfield Fire Department has already made the decision to switch to a
central fire dispatch center in Northbrook (RED Center), so emergency medical
dispatch calls will no longer come through the Village's dispatch center.
Board members spent several minutes
discussing the matter, especially expressing their concern that they don't want
Deerfield residents to lose the high quality of service they are now used to.
Chief Sliozis assured the trustees that he would not be willing to give up
anything in the level of service. The Village will not participate if it appears
that any quality of service would be lost.
Mayor Harris reminded the Board that the
proposal is for preliminary design services only and does not commit the Village
in any way to acceptance of a central dispatch center.
Trustee Rosenthal made a motion to approve
the $2,000 expenditure for preliminary - design services. Trustee Ragona seconded
the motion. The motion passed by the following vote:
AYES: Kayne, Ragona, Rosenthal, Seiden, Swanson, Wylie (6)
NAYS: None (0)
AUTHORIZATION TO ACCEPT PROPOSAL The Village has received approval from IDOT
FROM CIORBA GROUP FOR DESIGN to proceed to the design phase for the road -
ENGINEERING SERVICES - WAUKEGAN/ way and traffic signal improvements at the
LONGFELLOW /OSTERMAN INTERSECTION intersection of Waukegan Road and Longfellow/
Osterman. Staff requested Ciorba Group to
prepare a proposal to complete the plans, specifications and engineer's estimate
of cost for these improvements. The design plans will provide for:
• New left -turn lanes on Waukegan Road;
• Roadway improvements, including curb and gutter, pavement and striping;
• Temporary traffic signal and interconnect; and
• Permanent traffic signal and interconnect.
Ciorba Group proposes to complete the design
engineering services for this improvement for an amount not to exceed $30,790.
Mrs. Little recommends acceptance of the proposal.
After discussion, Trustee Rosenthal made a
motion to authorize acceptance of the proposal from Ciorba Group for an amount
not to exceed $30,790. Trustee Ragona seconded the motion. The motion passed by
the following vote:
AYES: Kayne, Ragona, Rosenthal, Seiden, Swanson, Wylie (6)

DISCUSSION
BANNOCKBURN GATES Trustee Wylie commented that, as we are now
working with Bannockburn on the North Avenue
improvements and have worked with them cooperatively on other matters, it might
be a good time to see what can be done about convincing them to remove the
traffic gates on Telegraph Road and Wilmot Road. Trustee Swanson responded that
Bannockburn would like to remove the gates, but heavy.traffic conditions do not
permit it. Staff will look into the matter.
CROSSING GUARD AT OSTERMAN Trustee Ragona reported that Julie Morrison
of the township office has suggested that it
would be helpful to senior citizens to have a crossing guard at Osterman Avenue
near One Deerfield Place. Staff will look into it.
