Staff recommends approval of the purchase of 239 trees and planting services

Division budget – 100.40.4320.65005. The total budget is $135,000 with a

(A3.4) January 1, 2017 Police and Firefighter Pension Actuarial Report
The Police Pension Board, Firefighter Pension Board and City Treasurer
recommend that City Council review and approve the January 1, 2017 Actuarial
Valuation for usage in the 2017 Tax Levy (receivable in 2018) for Police and
Firefighter Pension funding purposes. The City Treasurer recommends approval
of an increase of $421,742 to the Annual Required Contribution (ARC) to be
included in the 2017 Tax Levy. This recommendation is based on no changes in
actuarial assumptions from the January 1, 2016 actuarial study. Police and
Firefighter Pension Boards recommend the Annual Actuarial Required
Contribution (ARC) in the amount of $1,469,252. The increase in ARC is the
result of a decrease from 6.5% to 6.25% for the assumed investment return rate.
The current combined ARC is $18,385,909. This ARC is funded through a
combination of Property Taxes and Personnel Property Replacement Taxes each
year. The funding of this study is being split three ways for 2017. The Police
Pension and Firefighters Pension will each pay $6,166 and the General Fund will
pay $6,167 for this report at a total cost of $18,500.
For Action
(A3.5) Agreement with Municode, Inc. to Provide a Centralized Cashiering System
Staff recommends City Council authorize the City Manager to execute an
agreement with Municode, Inc. to provide a centralized cashiering system for the
City of Evanston. The contract is a cost per credit card transaction model, which
means the City only pays an expense when a credit card transaction occurs at
$0.55 per payment. Based on 2016 payment data, the City is estimating an
annualized cost of $56,179. As noted in the August 14, 2017 report to Council to
approve Passport Parking, the total budget for cashiering and online payment
systems is $320,000. This purchase combined with the previous approval will
bring total estimated expenses to $316,179 for 2018 on an annualized basis.
Funding will be from the Revenue & Collections Account 100.15.1560.62449,
with a FY17 budget of $320,000. Some of these costs will also be distributed to
the Water Fund, Sewer Fund and Parking Fund once the system is operational.
A detailed list of these accounts can be found on the corresponding transmittal
memorandum.

For City Council meeting of October 9, 2017 Item SP1
Ordinance 112-O-17: Updating the Evanston Welcoming City Ordinance
For Introduction
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
From: W. Grant Farrar, Corporation Counsel
Subject: Ordinance 112-O-17 – Updating the Evanston Welcoming City Ordinance
Date: October 9, 2017
Recommended Action:
Mayor Hagerty recommends the City Council adopt Ordinance 112-O-17: Updating
Chapter 22, Title 1 of the Evanston City Code, “Welcoming City Ordinance.”
Livability Benefits:
Education, Arts & Community: Support Social and Cultural Diversity.
Summary:
Ordinance 112-O-17 serves to update the Evanston Welcoming City Ordinance to
conform to the Illinois TRUST Act passed by Governor Bruce Rauner on August 28,
2017. The Illinois TRUST Act expands the scope of Evanston’s original ordinance to
include interactions classified as stops and searches of undocumented immigrants. The
state legislative action protects undocumented immigrants from being held by
immigration authorities after coming in contact with City police, unless a valid,
enforceable federal warrant is issued.
Two updates are included under proposed Ordinance 112-O-17:
•In addition to prohibiting agencies or agents from arresting, detaining, or
continuing to detain a person solely on the belief that the person is not present
legally in the United States, or that the person has committed a civil immigration
violation, this update also prohibits the stopping or searching a person solely for
the aforementioned reasons. City Code Section 1-22-10(A).
•The protections afforded by the Welcoming City Ordinance do not apply when a
valid, enforceable federal warrant has been issued, consistent with the Illinois
TRUST Act. City Code Section 1-22-10(D).
Legislative History:
On December 12, 2016, the City Council adopted Ordinance 156-O-16, Enacting the
Evanston Welcoming City Ordinance. Ordinance 112-O-17 builds on efforts to make
Evanston one of the most immigrant-friendly cities in the country. This legislative action
clarified that both documented and undocumented immigrants must be treated with
Memorandum
10 of 504
respect and dignity by all City employees, elected officials, and board and commission
members.
On August 28, 2017, Illinois Governor Bruce Rauner signed the Illinois TRUST Act,
Senate Bill 31. The Illinois TRUST Act states that law enforcement cannot stop, arrest,
search, detain, or continue to detain a person solely because of their immigration status,
unless a valid, enforceable federal warrant has been issued.

Background:
On July 10th, budget staff presented the City Council with two end-of-year scenarios and
potential revenue generating/expense cutting solutions. Staff further refined these
recommendations during the July 24th meeting on the topic.
At that time, there was an anticipated deficit of $3,324,696. Council approved the
following items:

City Manager Contingency (150,000)
Close 311 on Saturdays (20,000)
Departmental savings (250,000)
(2,672,000) 650,000
Memorandum
21 of 504
In order to implement these changes, the City Manager started by asking Departments
to implement their departmental savings ($250,000), that all training & travel be
approved by him directly, and that Directors report on overtime. Finance staff also
continued to revise year end estimates.
In September, a revised look at the budget with these items implemented predicted a
$1.9m deficit at the end of the year.

Year End 2017 Expense Estimate 116,290,746 includes policy changes
Year End 2017 Deficit (1,955,318)
The following revenue changes are currently being implemented by staff in order to end
2017 with a slight surplus:
Revenue Changes
Evanston Motor Fuel Tax 50,000
based on actual revenue received YTD from $750K to
$800K

Each of the transfers from another fund have been carefully considered and will not take
any fund below fund balance policies included in the 2017 Adopted Budget.
Expense Changes
1 Furlough Day 120,000 new
Reduction in Travel & Training 25,049 based on new policy

Expense Revensions 1,162,668
Original Expense Number:116,290,746
Revised Expense Number:115,128,078
The above furlough day has been discussed with the City Council and is tentatively
scheduled for November 10, 2017. The City has also held meetings to discuss this
furlough with all City unions. Negotiations continue favorably for the change in
retroactive pay increases to July 1, 2017. The remainder of the items listed may be
done administratively by finance staff.

(A3.3) Purchase of Trees and Planting Services from Suburban Tree Consortium
Staff recommends approval of the purchase of 239 trees and planting services
for 115 trees from Suburban Tree Consortium in the amount of $54,367.00.
Funding is from two sources. The first is a general fund line item in the Forestry
Division budget – 100.40.4320.65005. The total budget is $135,000 with a
current balance of $55,152.00, and is used for both the spring and fall planting
seasons. The second source of funding is deposited into account
100.40.4320.65005 - the “Replant Express” program. This program allows
residents to pay $250 (the cost of a 2.0” – 2.5” tree plus delivery) to be added to

For Action
(A3.4) January 1, 2017 Police and Firefighter Pension Actuarial Report
The Police Pension Board, Firefighter Pension Board and City Treasurer
recommend that City Council review and approve the January 1, 2017 Actuarial
Valuation for usage in the 2017 Tax Levy (receivable in 2018) for Police and
Firefighter Pension funding purposes. The City Treasurer recommends approval
of an increase of $421,742 to the Annual Required Contribution (ARC) to be
included in the 2017 Tax Levy. This recommendation is based on no changes in
actuarial assumptions from the January 1, 2016 actuarial study. Police and
Firefighter Pension Boards recommend the Annual Actuarial Required
Contribution (ARC) in the amount of $1,469,252. The increase in ARC is the
result of a decrease from 6.5% to 6.25% for the assumed investment return rate.
The current combined ARC is $18,385,909. This ARC is funded through a
combination of Property Taxes and Personnel Property Replacement Taxes each
year. The funding of this study is being split three ways for 2017. The Police
Pension and Firefighters Pension will each pay $6,166 and the General Fund will
pay $6,167 for this report at a total cost of $18,500.

(A3.5) Agreement with Municode, Inc. to Provide a Centralized Cashiering System
Staff recommends City Council authorize the City Manager to execute an
agreement with Municode, Inc. to provide a centralized cashiering system for the
City of Evanston. The contract is a cost per credit card transaction model, which
means the City only pays an expense when a credit card transaction occurs at
$0.55 per payment. Based on 2016 payment data, the City is estimating an
annualized cost of $56,179. As noted in the August 14, 2017 report to Council to
approve Passport Parking, the total budget for cashiering and online payment
systems is $320,000. This purchase combined with the previous approval will
bring total estimated expenses to $316,179 for 2018 on an annualized basis.
Funding will be from the Revenue & Collections Account 100.15.1560.62449,
with a FY17 budget of $320,000. Some of these costs will also be distributed to
the Water Fund, Sewer Fund and Parking Fund once the system is operational.

Built Environment: Enhance public spaces; Address indoor and outdoor air quality and
light pollution
Reduce Environmental Impact: Improve energy and water efficiency; Reduce
greenhouse gas emissions
Health and Safety: Promote healthy, active lifestyles
Background Information:
Constructed in 1957, the Fleetwood-Jourdain Community Center serves as a major
recreation center for Evanston. The existing 23,000 square foot facility includes a
regulated gymnasium, multipurpose activity rooms, fitness center, dance studio,
commercial kitchen, craft rooms, and offices. The building’s HVAC system is over 20
years old and in a deteriorated condition. As the entire building is centralized through a
single air handling unit, any system failures will result in the need to close the facility.
The existing electrical system is original to the building’s construction, is deteriorated
and well beyond its useful life. It is stressed during summer cooling conditions and
replacement parts are no longer available. Replacement of these two critical building
systems is needed at this time to ensure continued and safe operation of this vital City
facility.
On February 22, 2016, City Council approved the award of the engineering services for
the Fleetwood-Jourdain HVAC/Electrical Improvements to Clark Dietz. Since then,
Clark Dietz has prepared documents to provide the necessary mechanical and electrical
improvements at this facility. The project was first issued for bid in the winter of 2017 but
due to funding constraints and a lack of bid responses (only one bid was received), the
bid was canceled and the project was reissued for bid in the summer of 2017. Planned
improvements incorporated in the current bid include:
1. Removal of the existing air handler and condensing unit and replacement with
new roof top units.
2. Removal and replacement of the existing air distribution system.
3. Removal and replacement of the existing electrical service and distribution
panels.
4. Paving and draining of an existing tunnel below the building used to distribute
conditioned air and other utilities.
5. Bid Alternate 1 – Removal and replacement of various lighting systems and
controls throughout the building.
Analysis:
On August 24, 2017 the City issued bid documents for the project and on September
19, 2017 the City received and publicly read four (4) bids. Please note, in addition to
publicly advertising the bid in the Chicago Tribune, project bid documents were sent
directly to eighty-nine (89) prospective contractors. Bid results were as follows:

Bee Liner Lean Services has been determined to be non-responsive as they failed to
provide a complete bid submission including a failure to submit the original bid bond as
required. Structures Construction has been determined to be non-responsive as they
failed to provide appropriate and verifiable references for similar size projects with a
similar scope of work.
Bid documents included one alternate item as follows:
Alternate 1 – This alternate includes the removal and replacement of existing
gymnasium lighting and lighting controls throughout the building. This item is
recommended for award as it will improve the building’s energy efficiency performance.
Energy efficiency funding budgeted annually in the Capital Improvement Program will
be used to pay for this item.
A breakdown of the recommended bid award is:
Item Cost
Base Bid $1,952,890.00
Alternate 1 $35,595.00
Total $1,988,485.00
Central Lakes Construction is meeting the goals of the City’s M/W/EBE program. They
are showing an initial due diligence to comply with the LEP program and have indicated
a willingness to work with the Business Compliance Coordinator to employ Evanston
residents (see attached memo for more information). Please note that all bidders initially
requested an LEP waiver due to the technical complexity of this project and a lack of
availability of Evanston residents with appropriate skills.
The City’s consultant contacted Central Lakes Construction’s references which indicate
they have performed a variety of similar improvement projects with successful results.
Staff therefore recommends that the Base Bid plus Bid Alternate 1 be awarded to
Central Lakes Construction for a total amount of $1,988,485.00.

Background Information:
On July 24, 2017, the City Council awarded the 2017 Alley and Street Improvements
project to Schroeder & Schroeder, Inc. On August 14, 2017, the City Council approved
Change Order No. 1 for the widening of Callan Avenue, which increased the contract
amount from $1,301,882.10 to $1,446,774.60.
Analysis:
This change order consists of two items.
Item 1 – Hazardous Material Disposal
Paving the alley north of Simpson, east of the railroad right-of-way is included in the
original scope of work 2017 Alley and Street Improvements contract that was approved
by the City Council on July 24, 2017. As part of the project, the contractor performed
soil testing in September of this year. During this testing, the contractor found
hazardous material in the small east / west portion of the alley adjacent to the railroad
embankment.
The removal and disposal of the lead-contaminated soil which has been designated as
hazardous waste has to be performed by appropriately trained/certified contractor.
Therefore Schroeder & Schroeder is required to hire an environmental consulting firm
and a HAZWOPER contractor to treat the hazardous soil and/or dispose of the treated
soil as per EPA guidelines. They are also required to monitor the entire hazardous
waste treatment and disposal process by a certified consulting firm and a complete
report with documentation has to be submitted to the waste disposal site. Schroeder &
Schroeder has provided a proposal to hire the specialty subcontractors to complete this
work. Staff has reviewed the proposal and believes the cost to be reasonable. In order
to keep the project moving and complete the construction of the alley this construction
season the City Manager authorized that this portion of the change order work may
proceed.
Funding for the additional construction work to remove the hazardous waste will be from
415.40.4217.65515. On August 15, 2016, the City Council authorized the use of
easement fees from Northwestern University in the amount of $125,168 to supplement
funding for the 2016 Alley Paving project. Of that total, only $19,916 was spent,
leaving a balance of $105,252. As there is no additional funding available in this year’s
CIP allocation for the 2017 Alley Improvement project, staff recommends using a portion
of the remaining easement fees to pay for this change order.
Item 2 – Pedestrian Crosswalks
Pedestrian crosswalks have been requested to be installed in three locations:
• Dempster Street at Ashland Avenue
• South Blvd. at Forest Avenue
• Oakton Street at Dewey Avenue
112 of 504
Staff is recommending that this work be added to the 2017 Alley and Street
Improvements project because the project already has favorable bid prices for many of
the pay items needed to install the sidewalk bump-outs at the new pedestrian
crosswalks. Adding this work by change order will also expedite the schedule for the
crosswalk installations.
The intersections on Dempster Street and South Blvd. are under the jurisdiction of the
State of Illinois, the City had to seek approval from the Illinois Department of
Transportation (IDOT) for this work. After a lengthy review and revision process, IDOT
has recently advised staff to prepare the final plans for submittal along with permit
request from the selected contractor. The proposed crossing on Oakton Street does not
need IDOT approval as it is under the City’s jurisdiction.
The scope of this portion of the change order includes construction of sidewalk ADA
accessible ramps, curb extensions, drainage structure relocations, pavement markings,
signage installation and related restoration work at the subject locations. Although
every effort will be made for the contactor to complete the work by mid-November,
IDOT’s permitting process and weather/temperature conditions may require this work to
be completed in spring 2018. This will require a time extension of 195 days, extending
the contract end date from 11/17/17 to 5/31/18, but the extension will be only for work
associated with this portion of the change order.
This change order will increase the contract value by $121,485.25. This work would
normally be paid from the Neighborhood Traffic Calming line item; however, the cost of
work at all three locations exceeds the remaining funding for 2017. Additional funding is
available in the CIP from Bike Infrastructure Improvements and Safe Routes to School,
as these two projects ended up costing less than budgeted. Remaining funding in the
amount of $12,500 would need to be budgeted in the 2018 CIP.
Legislative History:
On October 10, 2016, City Council recommended approval of a crosswalk on Dempster
Street at Ashland Avenue intersection.
On July 24, 2017, City Council awarded the construction contract for Bid No. 17-38.
On August 14, 2017, City Council approved Change Order No 1 to the construction
contract for Bid No. 17-38.

For City Council meeting of October 9, 2017 Item A3.3
Business of the City by Motion: Purchase of Trees and Planting Services
For Action
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
Administration and Public Works Committee
From: David Stoneback, Public Works Agency Director
Paul D’Agostino, Environmental Services Bureau Chief
Subject: Purchase of Trees and Planting Services for Fall Planting
Date: October 2, 2017
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends approval of the purchase of 239 trees and planting services for 115
trees from Suburban Tree Consortium (STC) in the amount of $54,367.00.
Funding Source:
Funding for this purchase is provided from two sources as outlined in the table below.
The first is a general fund line item in the Forestry Division budget –
100.40.4320.65005. The total budget within this line item is $135,000, has a current
balance of $55,152.00, and is used for both the spring and fall planting seasons. The
second source of funding is deposited into account 100.40.4320.65005 - the “Replant
Express” program. This program allows residents to pay $250 (the cost of a 2.0” – 2.5”
tree plus delivery) to be added to our planting list immediately, rather than waiting the
two years it typically takes for a replacement tree. There are twenty-one additional trees
being planted through this program which generated $5,250.00 in payments.
Funding Source Amount
Forestry Division General Funds $135,000.00
Replant Express Funds $5,250.00
Livability Benefits:
Climate & Energy: Improve energy and water efficiency
Natural Systems: Protect and restore natural ecosystems
Summary:
The STC solicits quotes each spring and fall from participating nurseries for us. In
February, staff sent a listing of the required trees for parkway planting this fall season to
Memorandum
117 of 504
the STC. The STC then solicited and received bids from member area nurseries to
attempt to procure the trees we needed. Using the STC, we were able to locate most of
the 2”/2.5” diameter tree species in the quantity we needed. Due to an overall shortage
of trees from local nurseries, we had to settle for 1.75” diameter trees for ten of the
needed tree species. Residents are also able to choose the tree species for their
parkway from a list of 5-6 available options. Most residents typically return the form with
their preferred choice of tree.
Once all of the quotes were finalized, the grand total for all 239 STC trees is
$42,156.00, which includes delivery costs for the 78 trees being planted by City crews.
The trees are being supplied by Goodmark Nurseries, LLC. (8920 Howe Road, Wonder
Lake, IL) and Possibility Place Nursery (7548 W. Monee-Manhattan Rd., Monee, IL).
In addition to the purchase price of the trees, the STC tree planting contractor, Pugsley
& Lahaie, Ltd. (24414 N. Old McHenry Road, Lake Zurich, IL), has specific costs for
planting different size trees, which are agreed to in writing with the STC and all member
municipalities. Staff has set up a preliminary agreement with PLL for them to plant 115
trees on City parkways for a total cost of $12,211.00. Once this agreement is approved,
PLL will pick up their trees directly from the nurseries, deliver them to the individual
sites, and plant them.
Legislative History:
In June of 2001, the City Council passed Ordinance 65-O-01, which authorized the City
of Evanston to join and participate in the Suburban Tree Consortium (STC). The benefit
of this membership is that by merging orders with other municipalities, our buying power
is increased through economies of scale. In addition, Resolution 60-R-02 was passed in
August 2002, which expressed the intent of the City of Evanston to remain a member of
the STC as long as sufficient funding is appropriated. Another advantage of
membership is our ability to pre-order specific tree species for five years into the future.
This allows the nurseries to grow a large percentage of the exact tree species we will
need in future years.

For City Council meeting of October 9, 2017 Item A3.4
Business of the City by Motion: Police and Firefighter Pension 2017 Actuarial
Report
For Action
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
Administration and Public Works Committee
From: Martin Lyons, Assistant City Manager/Treasurer
Timothy Schoolmaster, Police Pension Board
Deron Daugherty, Firefighters Pension Board
Subject: January 1, 2017 Police and Firefighter Pension Actuarial Report
Date: October 7, 2017
Recommended Action:
The Police Pension Board, Firefighter Pension Board and City Treasurer recommend
that City Council review and approve the January 1, 2017 Actuarial Valuation for usage
in the 2017 Tax Levy (receivable in 2018) for Police and Firefighter Pension funding
purposes. The City Treasurer recommends approval of an increase of $421,742 to the
Annual Required Contribution (ARC) to be included in the 2017 Tax Levy. This
recommendation is based on no changes in actuarial assumptions from the January 1,
2016 actuarial study. Police and Firefighter Pension Boards recommend the Annual
Actuarial Required Contribution (ARC) in the amount of $1,469,252. The increase in
ARC is the result of a decrease from 6.5% to 6.25% for the assumed investment return
rate. The current combined ARC is $18,385,909. This ARC is funded through a
combination of Property Taxes and Personnel Property Replacement Taxes each year.
Funding Source:
The funding of this study is being split three ways for 2017. The Police Pension and
Firefighters Pension will each pay $6,166 and the General Fund will pay $6,167 for this
report at a total cost of $18,500.

Memorandum
122 of 504
Page 2 of 5
Summary:
The major issues identified in this year’s report center around three areas:
1. Plan Performance – There are many performance measures, but those
highlighted by the Actuary as impacting the funding increase requirement are as
follows:
a. Average salary for both plans were slightly above the assumed rate of
increase
i. Firefighters Pension - 4.47% Actual and 4.34% assumed rate
ii. Police Pension 4.55% Actual and 4.34% assumed rate
This variance is calculated in the increase in normal costs for both funds.
b. Investment Rate of Return for both plans were above last year’s levels as
noted below and the assumed rate of return is 6.5% for that period.
i. Firefighters Pension Actuarial return – 5.55%
ii. Police Pension Actuarial return – 7.22%
Returns that are above the actuarial assumption create an actuarial gain in the
plan and returns that are below create an actuarial loss. These changes in turn
impact the total unfunded liability and funded ratio.
2. Assumption Changes – Assumption changes are considered periodically to
address changes in regulations, changes in the investment market and/or
changes in demographics/experience. Below is a listing of changes evaluated in
this year’s report:
a. Investment/Discount Rate – The previous assumed investment rate is
6.5% on all investments. This year’s analysis shows information for both
this rate and for a rate reduced to 6.25%. Reducing the rate in the 2017
analysis was discussed and recommended in the 2016 analysis report.
This report is can be viewed at http://www.cityofevanston.org/assets/cc-
packet-20161010%20-%20updated%20with%20footers.pdf
The Police and Firefighters pension advisors, the current actuary, Moody’s, and
Fitch Ratings Agencies all project long term investment returns for downstate
pensions funds under current regulations to be at or below 6.25%. This
reduction in the assumed investment rate of return is clearly defined as a funding
increase of $1,047,510.
Below is a summary of the prior year and proposed Annual Required Contribution and
funding levels.

Decrease over Recommended City funded level ($3,457,414) ($2,756,182)
OPTION 1: This option shows the funding contributions and funding ratio if the
investment rate is changed from 6.5% to 6.25%. This is listed as Option 1 due to the
recommendation made in the 2016 Actuarial Report. This Option will result in an
Annual Required Contribution (ARC) increase of $1,469,252 increasing the combined
ARC for both funds to $19,855,161. This Option would result in a recommended
increase to the 2017 tax levy of 3.7% unless other funding sources or other expense
reductions are considered. This option is recommended by the Police and Firefighter
Pension Boards.
OPTION 2: This option makes no change in assumptions to the previous year’s
analysis and results in an increase to the ARC of $421,742 and a total ARC of
$18,807,651. This Option would result in a recommended increase to the 2017 tax levy
of 1.06% unless other funding sources or other expense reductions are considered.
This option is recommended in the 2018 Proposed Budget document to be reviewed by
the City Council on October 16, 2017.
Department of Insurance Report: The Illinois Department of Insurance produces an
actuarial report each year in accordance with the minimum allowable funding methods
per state statute. This report uses:
• A higher interest rate assumption – 6.75%
• The Projected Unit Credit Method
124 of 504
Page 4 of 5
Both of these differences result in a lower funding level, and as noted above result in a
funding level that is $7.26 million less than the funding for Option 1 and $6.21 million
less than the funding level for Option 2. It is important to note that Foster and Foster
prepares both the City’s actuarial study and the study used by the Illinois Department of
Insurance. This clearly shows the differences that methodology and assumptions can
make in funding a pension system. Representatives of Foster and Foster will be in
attendance to explain this year’s report.
Both the Police and Firefighter Pension Boards are not willing to support the utilization
of the state minimum contribution levels. Neither can support the utilization of an
analysis that creates funding levels at a higher percentage ratio but requires less overall
funding to achieve such a ratio.
Finally, the 2016 Actuarial Report delivered to the City Council on October 10, 2016
outlined several changes needed in that report that resulted in a major increase over the
previous year’s Annual Required Contribution. That report can be found on page 109 in
the City’s Council’s October 10, 2016 meeting packet: 2016 Actuarial Report
The report noted that it was preferred that all changes be made, including a decrease of
the investment return rate from 6.5% to 6.25%. The final approved Actuarial Study
stayed at a 6.5% assumed investment rate. It was also noted that a change from 6.5%
to 6.25% would be considered for the 2017 report which is before the City Council
tonight for approval. Unfortunately, the City’s 2018 budget situation makes it very
difficult to increase the City’s tax levy to the amount necessary to change the
investment rate assumption to 6.25%, which again would necessitate the above
mentioned increase of 3.7%. This is the first time that the Joint Committee (City
Treasurer, Firefighter’s Pension Board President and Police Pension Board President)
have offered a split recommendation since this process began eight years ago.
The Actuarial Report provided herein, satisfies the City’s responsibility in setting the
pension tax levy. All Options listed above also satisfy the City’s requirements under
Illinois Statute.
Alternatives:
The City is required to utilize either the Department of Insurance Actuarial Study or an
independent study such as that provided by Foster and Foster. The source of funding is
totally up to each municipality or district (for Fire Districts). The City has used a variety
of sources to pay for pension costs including property taxes, personal property
replacement taxes (PPRT), and General Fund revenues allocated through the annual
budget process. During 2017 both pension boards have reviewed information provided
by Foster and Foster regarding the use of Pension Obligation Bonds (POB). The
issuance of these bonds assumes a savings between the interest paid on the bonds
versus the interest earned by the pension funds on the bond proceeds. By issuing
bonds and putting proceeds in each pension fund, the unfunded liability is reduced,
which in turn reduces the ARC for each pension fund each year. Savings are usually
seen in the difference between the annual pension tax levy and the levy required to pay
debt service on the POB issue.
125 of 504
Page 5 of 5
A further discussion regarding this alternative is requested by both pension boards prior
to the 2017 tax levy being adopted by the City Council.

Re: Actuarial Valuation Report – City of Evanston Police Pension Fund
Dear Board:
We are pleased to present to the Board this report of the annual actuarial valuation of the City of
Evanston Police Pension Fund. The valuation was performed to determine whether the assets and
contributions are sufficient to provide the prescribed benefits and to develop the appropriate funding
requirements for the applicable plan year. Please note that this valuation may not be applicable for any
other purposes.
The valuation has been conducted in accordance with generally accepted actuarial principles and
practices, including the applicable Actuarial Standards of Practice as issued by the Actuarial Standards
Board, and reflects laws and regulations issued to date pursuant to the provisions of Article 3, Illinois
Pension Code, as well as applicable federal laws and regulations. In our opinion, the assumptions used
in this valuation, as adopted by the Board of Trustees, represent reasonable expectations of anticipated
plan experience. Future actuarial measurements may differ significantly from the current
measurements presented in this report for a variety of reasons including: changes in applicable laws,
changes in plan provisions, changes in assumptions, or plan experience differing from expectations.
In conducting the valuation, we have relied on personnel, plan design, and asset information supplied
by the Board, financial reports prepared by the custodian bank and the actuarial assumptions and
methods described in the Actuarial Assumptions section of this report. While we cannot verify the
accuracy of all this information, the supplied information was reviewed for consistency and
reasonableness. As a result of this review, we have no reason to doubt the substantial accuracy of the
information and believe that it has produced appropriate results. This information, along with any
adjustments or modifications, is summarized in various sections of this report.
The undersigned is familiar with the immediate and long-term aspects of pension valuations and meets
the Qualification Standards of the American Academy of Actuaries necessary to render the actuarial
opinions contained herein. All of the sections of this report are considered an integral part of the
actuarial opinions.

direct financial interest or indirect material interest in the City of Evanston, nor does anyone at Foster &
Foster, Inc. act as a member of the Board of Trustees of the City of Evanston Police Pension Fund.
Thus, there is no relationship existing that might affect our capacity to prepare and certify this actuarial
report.

SUMMARY OF REPORT
The regular annual actuarial valuation of the City of Evanston Police Pension Fund, performed as of
January 1, 2017, has been completed and the results are presented in this Report. The contribution
amounts set forth herein are applicable to the plan/fiscal year ended December 31, 2017.
The contribution requirements, compared with those set forth in the January 1, 2016 actuarial report, are
as follows:
Valuation Date 1/1/2017 1/1/2016
Applicable to Fiscal Year Ending 12/31/2017 12/31/2016
Total Required Contribution $12,604,006 $11,660,701
% of Projected Annual Payroll 82.1%81.2%
Member Contributions (Est.) 1,520,563 1,423,501
% of Projected Annual Payroll 9.9%9.9%
City Required Contribution 11,083,443 10,237,200
% of Projected Annual Payroll 72.2%71.3%
As you can see, the Total Required Contribution increased when compared to the results determined
January 1, 2016. The increase is due to a change in the assumed investment return from 6.50% to 6.25%,
higher normal cost due to a larger active population, an increased amortization payment due to lower than
required contributions and higher assumed administrative expenses.
These increases were offset somewhat by favorable asset and decrement experience. Assets earned a
7.22% investment return (Actuarial basis) which exceed the 6.50% assumption. There were no significant
sources of unfavorable experience.

of the Fund. The undersigned would be pleased to meet with the Board of Trustees in order to discuss the
Report and answer any pending questions concerning its contents.

STATEMENT BY ENROLLED ACTUARY
This actuarial valuation was prepared and completed by me or under my direct supervision, and I
acknowledge responsibility for the results. To the best of my knowledge, the results are complete and ac-
curate, and in my opinion, the techniques and assumptions used are reasonable and meet the requirements
and intent of the Illinois Pension Code and adhere to the Actuarial Standards of Practice. There is no ben-
efit or expense to be provided by the plan and/or paid from the plan's assets for which liabilities or current
costs have not been established or otherwise taken into account in the valuation. All known events or
trends which may require a material increase in plan costs or required contribution rates have been taken
into account in the valuation.

GLOSSARY
Total Annual Payroll is the projected annual rate of pay for the fiscal year following the valuation date of
all covered members.
Present Value of Benefits is the single sum value on the valuation date of all future benefits to be paid to
current Members, Retirees, Beneficiaries, Disability Retirees and Vested Terminations.
Normal (Current Year's) Cost is the current year's cost for benefits yet to be funded.
Unfunded Accrued Liability is a liability which arises when a pension plan is initially established or
improved and such establishment or improvement is applicable to all years of past service.
Total Required Contribution is equal to the Normal Cost plus an amount sufficient to amortize the
Unfunded Accrued Liability over a period ending in 2040. The required amount is adjusted for interest
according to the timing of contributions during the year.
Entry Age Normal Cost Method - Under this method, the normal cost is the sum of the individual normal
costs for all active participants. For an active participant, the normal cost is the participant’s normal cost
accrual rate, multiplied by the participant’s current compensation.
(a) The normal cost accrual rate equals:
(i) the present value of future benefits for the participant, determined as of the
participant’s entry age, divided by
(ii) the present value of the compensation expected to be paid to the participant for each
year of the participant’s anticipated future service, determined as of the participant’s
entry age.
(b) In calculating the present value of future compensation, the salary scale is applied both
retrospectively and prospectively to estimate compensation in years prior to and subsequent to the
valuation year based on the compensation used for the valuation.
(c) The accrued liability is the sum of the individual accrued liabilities for all participants and
beneficiaries. A participant’s accrued liability equals the present value, at the participant’s
attained age, of future benefits less the present value at the participant’s attained age of the
individual normal costs payable in the future. A beneficiary’s accrued liability equals the present
value, at the beneficiary’s attained age, of future benefits. The unfunded accrued liability equals
the total accrued liability less the actuarial value of assets.
(d) Under this method, the entry age used for each active participant is the participant’s age at the
time he or she would have commenced participation if the plan had always been in existence
under current terms, or the age as of which he or she first earns service credits for purposes of
benefit accrual under the current terms of the plan.

Re: Actuarial Valuation Report – City of Evanston Firefighters’ Pension Fund
Dear Board:
We are pleased to present to the Board this report of the annual actuarial valuation of the City of
Evanston Firefighters’ Pension Fund. The valuation was performed to determine whether the assets and
contributions are sufficient to provide the prescribed benefits and to develop the appropriate funding
requirements for the applicable plan year. Please note that this valuation may not be applicable for any
other purposes.
The valuation has been conducted in accordance with generally accepted actuarial principles and
practices, including the applicable Actuarial Standards of Practice as issued by the Actuarial Standards
Board, and reflects laws and regulations issued to date pursuant to the provisions of Article 4, Illinois
Pension Code, as well as applicable federal laws and regulations. In our opinion, the assumptions used
in this valuation, as adopted by the Board of Trustees, represent reasonable expectations of anticipated
plan experience. Future actuarial measurements may differ significantly from the current
measurements presented in this report for a variety of reasons including: changes in applicable laws,
changes in plan provisions, changes in assumptions, or plan experience differing from expectations.
In conducting the valuation, we have relied on personnel, plan design, and asset information supplied
by the Board, financial reports prepared by the custodian bank and the actuarial assumptions and
methods described in the Actuarial Assumptions section of this report. While we cannot verify the
accuracy of all this information, the supplied information was reviewed for consistency and
reasonableness. As a result of this review, we have no reason to doubt the substantial accuracy of the
information and believe that it has produced appropriate results. This information, along with any
adjustments or modifications, is summarized in various sections of this report.
The undersigned is familiar with the immediate and long-term aspects of pension valuations and meets
the Qualification Standards of the American Academy of Actuaries necessary to render the actuarial
opinions contained herein. All of the sections of this report are considered an integral part of the
actuarial opinions.

SUMMARY OF REPORT
The regular annual actuarial valuation of the City of Evanston Firefighters’ Pension Fund, performed as
of January 1, 2017, has been completed and the results are presented in this Report. The contribution
amounts set forth herein are applicable to the plan/fiscal year ended December 31, 2017.
The contribution requirements, compared with those set forth in the January 1, 2016 actuarial report, are
as follows:
Valuation Date 1/1/2017 1/1/2016
Applicable to Fiscal Year Ending 12/31/2017 12/31/2016
Total Required Contribution $9,720,585 $9,084,864
% of Projected Annual Payroll 96.9%91.8%
Member Contributions (Est.) 948,867 936,155
% of Projected Annual Payroll 9.5%9.5%
City Required Contribution 8,771,718 8,148,709
% of Projected Annual Payroll 87.4%82.3%
As you can see, the Total Required Contribution increased when compared to the results determined
January 1, 2016. The increase is primarily due to a change in the assumed investment return from 6.50%
to 6.25%. In addition, the plan experienced lower investment returns than expected and an increased
amortization payment due to lower than required contributions and higher assumed administrative
expenses. Assets earned a 5.55% investment return (Actuarial basis) which fell short of the 6.50%
assumption.
These increases were offset somewhat by salary increases that were less than expected.
City of Evanston Firefighters' Pension Fund FOSTER & FOSTER | 5162 of 504
The balance of this Report presents additional details of the actuarial valuation and the general operation
of the Fund. The undersigned would be pleased to meet with the Board of Trustees in order to discuss the
Report and answer any pending questions concerning its contents.

STATEMENT BY ENROLLED ACTUARY
This actuarial valuation was prepared and completed by me or under my direct supervision, and I
acknowledge responsibility for the results. To the best of my knowledge, the results are complete and ac-
curate, and in my opinion, the techniques and assumptions used are reasonable and meet the requirements
and intent of the Illinois Pension Code and adhere to the Actuarial Standards of Practice. There is no ben-
efit or expense to be provided by the plan and/or paid from the plan's assets for which liabilities or current
costs have not been established or otherwise taken into account in the valuation. All known events or
trends which may require a material increase in plan costs or required contribution rates have been taken
into account in the valuation.

GLOSSARY
Total Annual Payroll is the projected annual rate of pay for the fiscal year following the valuation date of
all covered members.
Present Value of Benefits is the single sum value on the valuation date of all future benefits to be paid to
current Members, Retirees, Beneficiaries, Disability Retirees and Vested Terminations.
Normal (Current Year's) Cost is the current year's cost for benefits yet to be funded.
Unfunded Accrued Liability is a liability which arises when a pension plan is initially established or
improved and such establishment or improvement is applicable to all years of past service.
Total Required Contribution is equal to the Normal Cost plus an amount sufficient to amortize the
Unfunded Accrued Liability over a period ending in 2040. The required amount is adjusted for interest
according to the timing of contributions during the year.
Entry Age Normal Cost Method - Under this method, the normal cost is the sum of the individual normal
costs for all active participants. For an active participant, the normal cost is the participant’s normal cost
accrual rate, multiplied by the participant’s current compensation.
(a) The normal cost accrual rate equals:
(i) the present value of future benefits for the participant, determined as of the
participant’s entry age, divided by
(ii) the present value of the compensation expected to be paid to the participant for each
year of the participant’s anticipated future service, determined as of the participant’s
entry age.
(b) In calculating the present value of future compensation, the salary scale is applied both
retrospectively and prospectively to estimate compensation in years prior to and subsequent to the
valuation year based on the compensation used for the valuation.
(c) The accrued liability is the sum of the individual accrued liabilities for all participants and
beneficiaries. A participant’s accrued liability equals the present value, at the participant’s
attained age, of future benefits less the present value at the participant’s attained age of the
individual normal costs payable in the future. A beneficiary’s accrued liability equals the present
value, at the beneficiary’s attained age, of future benefits. The unfunded accrued liability equals
the total accrued liability less the actuarial value of assets.
(d) Under this method, the entry age used for each active participant is the participant’s age at the
time he or she would have commenced participation if the plan had always been in existence
under current terms, or the age as of which he or she first earns service credits for purposes of
benefit accrual under the current terms of the plan.

For City Council meeting of October 9, 2017 Item A3.5
Business of the City by Motion: Cashiering System
For Action
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
Administration and Public Works Committee
From: Martin Lyons, Assistant City Manager/CFO
Subject: Agreement with Municode, Inc. to Provide a Centralized Cashiering
System for the City of Evanston
Date: September 25, 2017
Recommended Action
Staff recommends City Council authorize the City Manager to execute an agreement
with Municode, Inc. to provide a centralized cashiering system for the City of Evanston.
The contract provided by Municode is a cost per credit card transaction model. This
means the City only pays an expense when a credit card transaction occurs.
Attachment 1 is the contact detailing the price for each transaction, which is $0.55 per
web or agent payment. There are no transactional costs associated with cash and
check payments. Based on 2016 payment data (see chart below), the City is estimating
an annualized cost of $56,179. As noted in the August 14, 2017 report to Council to
approve Passport Parking, the total budget for cashiering and online payment systems
is $320,000. This purchase combined with the previous approval will bring total
estimated expenses to $316,179 for 2018 on an annualized basis. Some of these costs
will also be distributed to the Water Fund, Sewer Fund and Parking Fund once the
system is operational.
Funding Source
100.15.1560.62449 – 2017 budget – $320,000
The chart below details the number of credit card transactions on an annual basis.
Memorandum
189 of 504
Staff recommends dividing the costs associated with each transaction into their
respective funds in 2018. Majority of the transactions are water and parking related and
dividing these transactions by fund will help minimize any financial impact to the
General Fund.
100.15.1560.62449 (General Fund)
505.15.1560.62449 (Parking Fund)
510.40.4210.62249 (Water Fund)
515.40.4120.62249 (Sewer Fund)
520.40.4120.62249 (Solid Waste Fund)
Livability Benefits
Innovation & Process: Support local government best practices and processes
Summary
Since 2006, the Finance Department cashiers have used the Duncan Solutions
cashiering application that was developed as part of the larger parking citation contract.
A key limitation of this system since the implementation was no direct interface with
other systems. Payments received by the cashiers do not close out the other various
billing systems such as the water billing system (Harris), Third Millennium wheel tax
database, licensing and permitting and system (PAL), administrative hearings violations
database, as well as the posting of revenue into the financial management system (New
World Systems).
Other benefits to purchasing this cashiering system include:
• Interface with Passport and Harris in real-time and many other systems in daily
batch-mode. Real-time applications update the system as soon as the
information is entered. Batch-time interfaces update the systems at the end of
the working day.
• A "single point of entry" screen. Staff can receive and post payments directly to
the various billing systems, allowing cashiers the ability to produce a single
receipt for multiple payments and customers to pay with multiple forms of tender
(e.g. cash, check and credit/debit card) on the same transaction or receipt.
• Digital achieving of payment data. This allows for payments to be researched
quickly and more efficiently through one centralized area using conventional
search means (name, address, payment amount) electronically.
• Robust statistical analytic tools. These reports will help gather more data points
to better understand the varying service demands on the City. This includes
items such as counts and averages of payments, transactions per hour, and
more.
• Electronic audit tape. This is a management that provides more details behind all
transactions that occur within the system.
• The use of interactive voice response technology (IVR) for all payments. This is a
technology that allows over the phone payments through the use of voice
and tones input via keypad.
• Text message alerts and email notifications through their customizable customer
online portion.
190 of 504
• Payments can be made through Amazon Alexia and Facebook messenger
(currently being tested, this will not be live at launch).
The proposed agreement allows for unlimited users and its use can be expanded to
include other City departments, giving them an interactive and efficient way to accept
and account for funds they receive.
A total of nine different companies were researched and provided demonstrations over
the course of a year. The top three companies were then evaluated by finance and IT
staff members. Below is a composite scoring sheet of the top three companies. Staff
rated each company based on ten processes on a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being the
highest possible score.

GENERAL PLATFORM FEATURES
Orbipay is a true cloud‐based, out‐of‐the‐box, and configurable SAAS application. The Orbipay Platform is a highly flexible and
comprehensive electronic bill presentment and payment solution that allows you to collect and process payments from
multiple types and channels – quickly and efficiently. Once deployed within your organization, you will be able to accept
payment via the web, IVR phone system, mobile connection, MoneyGram walk‐in locations, or through your own customer
service agents.
Branding Customization
Website branding, content, and features can be customized to
suit your business requirements. The Customer Interface allows
you, the client, complete control over the color scheme (accents,
buttons, module frames, text, hyperlinks, etc.). Including
uploading a customized banner to promote the look and feel of
your branding. Additionally, all text can be customized with
Municipality‐specific verbiage as needed.
Mobile Optimization
Access is also supported from different devices, using Responsive
Web Design (RWD). This technology recognizes the size of the
screen on the device and renders the page correctly for that
screen by altering the position of text labels, shortening text, and
so on – as shown below. No exclusive or additional mobile app is
needed with this design technology.
Enrollment & Customer Authentication
Residents enroll through the home page of the platform. A
welcome page explaining the benefits of enrolling for the Web Portal can be configured to appear. The standard enrollment
process requires them to authenticate themselves. The default authentication is to ask for the Account Number and a
secondary authentication credential (i.e.: billing zip code, last four digits of SSN, or Enrollment Authentication Code). Upon
enrollment, residents are prompted to enter in their email address for paperless billing. Your residents can easily choose to
receive a paper bill, an electronic bill, or both by simply checking a box. You could even make electric billing mandatory. Most
importantly, you have complete flexibility to configure according to your paperless billing strategy and can easily change the
rules as your strategy and goals change.
Frequently Asked Questions
In addition, to enhance the customer experience, you can add a
frequently asked questions page that is reached through a link at
the bottom of each page.
Linking Accounts
If your customers have multiple accounts with you, they can
easily link them together for the highest level of convenience.
Details of the account(s) linked to the customer’s profile are
displayed, and if there is more than one option to unlink an
account. If the customer wants to link a further account, they
can click the “Link Additional Accounts” button.

Built In Payment Interactive Voice Response (IVR)
Orbipay’s robust and easy to use IVR system will allow residential and commercial customers the ability to obtain their account
balance and verify their account information prior to initiating a payment to pay their bill by credit card, debit card, or ACH.
Orbipay offers the IVR service in both English and Spanish. Orbipay then provides customers a confirmation number for a
verified credit/debit card/ACH payment. This confirmation number could also be used for service restoral in case a shut off for
non‐payment occurred.
Payment IVR Key Features & Options:
Can be accessed directly or via a call transfer from the city/client’s telephone system.
Toll free number option.
Pre‐recorded prompts, supplemented by dynamic Text‐to‐Speech (TTS) robot.

Option to charge a Convenience Fee for payment processing.

Option to redirect customer back to the city/client if they have an issue.
There are two IVR flows to choose from, the Standard IVR Flow and the Express IVR Flow. In the standard flow, the process
takes around five minutes. An express flow reduces this by about a minute. Both IVR flows include customer authentication,
read back of amount owed/payment entry, read back of available funding sources/new funding source entry, and finally
payment approval and verification. Scripting can be customized for the branding of your city where indicated.

Point of Sale Transactions
We have chosen to support only point of sale (POS) Devices
that support the new EMV/Chip & PIN standard, as mandated
by the card schemes. We have a partner, PaxTechnologies that
we work with for the POS devices. They are set up in
conjunction with First Data through Bank of America Merchant
Services (BAMS), who we are certified with for MOTO/ECOM
transactions. To select this integrated EMV POS Device
solution, the client must use Orbipay as the merchant
processor (BAMS/First Data) for the Web and Phone payments
as well.
Non‐Integrated POS: Under this, the client can use any POS
device they like. They run the card and can then enter the
details into the Payment Center. This includes the option of
entering the Authorization Response Code along with the
payment, can then be used to lookup the payment.
Integrated POS Device: Under this, the client must use a PAX
POS Device (and use their supported Merchant Processors).
When the transaction is entered into the Payment Center it sends details of the payment to the POS device which then
activates with the Payment Amount Pre‐Loaded. Once the Card is dipped/swiped and the payment submitted, the PAX Device
then sends the approved or declined response back to Payment Center which then shows the result to the User.
Customer Service Agents
Your customer service and operations staff can use
Orbipay’s customer care portal to help customer service
representatives view bill payment profiles, review
historical and pending payments, schedule and manage
payments on behalf of customers, and perform other day‐
to‐day customer service tasks.
Walk‐In
Orbipay has a partnership with MoneyGram
(www.moneygram.com) to enable walk in real time
certified cash payments at any MoneyGram agent
location. MoneyGram operates over 40,000 locations
(all CVS and Walmart locations) nationwide. An
additional fee is charged at the MoneyGram location
for sending funds directly to a biller.

RISK MANAGEMENT & SECURITY OVERVIEW
In the last 12 months, we have had 100% uptime. In 2016, the platform had a 99.99% uptime, with just 56 minutes of
unscheduled downtime.
Technology and Infrastructure:
When offered as Software as a Service, the platform is hosted by third party hosting providers in a SSAE 16 certified
Datacenter. Both products share a common technology stack comprising:
Web Server – Apache 2.2.x.
Web Container – Tomcat
Application Server – JBOSS 5.0.x GA
Database Servers – MySQL v5.1.x
Operating System – RedHat Enterprise Linux v5.5, Java‐6 v1.5
Development Stack – Eclipse 3.4.x, Fedora Core 4.0, Windows XP and Java‐6
Note: (In addition to the above, we have extensive experience with IBM IHS Web Server, Web Sphere Application Server and Oracle 10G.)
To mitigate the need to failover, all Web, Application, and Database servers and networks are designed and configured for
maximum availability and scalability. Servers are set up in clustered mode to eliminate single point of failure. This
configuration is then replicated in a dedicated disaster recovery site. All databases are configured with replication and all
changes are replicated to the stand‐alone database in production as changes happen in the primary database. Database and
Application servers are backed up every 24 hours.
Risk Management Framework:
Orbipay’s platform follows US Federal Risk Management standard, NIST SP 800 for its risk management efforts. Based on the
same, approximately 150 controls over 18 control families as under Risk Control Families under NIST SP 800 (US Federal)
Framework for Information Risk Management have been built.
Access Control Audit & Accountability Awareness & Training
Configuration Management Security Assessment Identification & Authentication
Incident Response Maintenance Media Protection
Physical & Environmental Sec Security Planning Personnel Security
Risk Assessment Acquisition & Development System & Communication Protection
Integrity Security Program Management Contingency Planning
Policies & Procedures: Information Security policies are in effect, covering lifecycle of development, testing, production, and
support, that address all the risk control families stated above.
Evidence of Compliance: A set of fifteen logs are generated from check‐points across the platform. The frequency ranges from
daily to quarterly, depending on the type of action tracked. The Risk Management team creates tickets in the internal system
and assigns to specific area owners for review and sign‐off to ensure all logs are reviewed and closed and remedial action is
planned where necessary.
Third party attestations of risk & security posture: Orbipay’s platform processes data elements that are subject privacy and
security regulations and has a comprehensive program for the following third‐party reviews and attestations:
1. PCI DSS (Credit Card Security) attestation by a Qualified Security Assessor
2. HIPAA (Health care information) attestation by an authorized assessor
3. Quarterly Scan of the Product platform by a third‐party testing company
4. Static Code Analysis of New Releases (where applicable) by HP’s tools (HP Fortify)
5. SSAE 16 attestation of Primary and DR Data Center sites

MUNICODE AGREEMENT, TERMS & CONDITIONS
MUNICIPAL CODE CORPORATION, a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of the State of Florida, herein
referred to as Municode, hereby offers payment services for City of Brooksville Florida herein referred to as Client.
Municode, agrees to provide Client services defined in this proposal herein and at pricing contained in the Municode
Pricing Schedule. The Client agrees that Municode shall be its exclusive provider of these goods and services during the
term of this agreement.
1. ELECTRONIC PAYMENT PROCESSING SERVICES TERMS AND CONDITIONS ‐ These Terms and Conditions are a part of the
Master Services Agreement executed between the parties, into which these Terms and Conditions are incorporated by
reference.
A. “Transaction” means a credit, debit, ACH, disputes, chargebacks, refunds or other electronic transaction processed.
B. License. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including any fees required to be paid by Client to
MUNICODE hereunder: MUNICODE will make the Service available to Client and Clients’ customers (“Customers”)
during the Term (as defined in the Master Services Agreement); and to the extent Client is required to download or
integrate any software which is proprietary to MUNICODE (the “Software”) for use in connection with the Service (the
“Permitted Purpose”), Municode hereby grants to Client a non‐ exclusive, non‐assignable, non‐sublicensable license to
access and use the Software, during the Term, solely for the Permitted Purpose.
C. Services. Service comprises bill presentment and payment services pursuant to which Municode shall move funds on
behalf of Client as a Third‐Party Sender or a Third‐Party Service Provider (as such terms are defined by National
Automated Clearing House Association Rules), as applicable, from the bank account, credit card account or debit card
account of Customers pursuant to a request initiated by the Customer, or the Client on behalf of the Customer. ACH
Transactions will be facilitated by Municode as a Third‐Party Sender on behalf of Client through an Originating
Depository Financial Institution.
D. Customer Payment Process. Client expressly authorizes Municode, as follows: (i) ACH Payments. Upon receipt by
MUNICODE of information from Client or Customer indicating that a Customer approves a payment in a specific
amount (“Approval”) and instructing that such payment be made via ACH from Customer's account, Municode will
cause that amount to be debited from Customer's account on behalf of Client as a third‐party sender and credited to
the Funding Account. Client agrees to be bound, and will cause all Customers using the service to agree to be bound,
by all
E. Transactions placed in Client's and/or Customer's name and accepted by Municode in accordance with this
Agreement. (ii) Credit Card or Debit Card Payments. In the event Client has elected to accept credit card or debit
card payments through the Service, Client expressly authorizes MCC, either directly or through Client's or
Municode’s credit card processor, as follows: Upon receipt by Municode of information indicating that a Customer
has issued an Approval and initiated payment via credit card or debit card, MUNICODE will cause the amount of the
Approval to be submitted on Client's behalf to Client's card processor. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in the
Agreement, any claims, disputes, inquiries or chargebacks arising out of or relating to Transactions paid for with
Customer’s credit or debit cards shall be governed solely by the terms of the agreements in effect between Client
and its credit card processor, bank or Customer, as the case may be.
F. Convenience Fees. For each Transaction processed through the Service on behalf of a Customer, Municode may
charge a convenience fee (“Convenience Fee”) and certain related charges to Client or the Customer which requests
such Transaction or on whose behalf such Transaction is requested, as more specifically set forth on Municode
Pricing Schedule hereof. For the purpose of calculating Convenience Fees, each debit of a Customer's account and
each submission of an ACH debit, credit card transaction, or debit card transaction performed in accordance with
this Agreement will be considered a Transaction, whether or not such Transaction is later reversed or charged back.
Convenience Fees are payable at the time a Transaction is requested and Municode shall not be responsible to
process any Transaction in connection with which an associated Convenience Fee or related charges are declined or
otherwise fail to be paid. Municode and Client may from time to time mutually agree to revise the amount that will
be charged as a Convenience Fee. If a revised Convenience Fee is agreed, such agreement shall be deemed an
amendment to the terms of this Agreement and, where Convenience Fees are the responsibility of Customers, Client
shall be responsible for providing Customers all disclosures and notices with respect to the revised Convenience Fee
as may be required pursuant to Applicable Law or otherwise. The Convenience Fee may be recalculated if in 3
consecutive months the Actual Effective Cost to the Customer falls 0.25% below or rises 0.25% above the Target
Effective Cost (as described above) then the Convenience Fee may be recalculated. If it is agreed that the
209 of 504
Page | 19 Recognized as a GovTech’ Top 100
Innovators in 2016, 2017
Convenience Fee will be recalculated it will be to an amount that will result in the Target Effective Cost. The
recalculated Convenience Fee will then be rounded up to a number that falls within the +/‐ 0.25% range. A Target
Effective Cost of 2.5% on an average payment amount gives the calculated Convenience Fee. The Actual Effective
Cost is then calculated by dividing the Convenience fee by the actual average payment amounts processed during a
month.
G. Settlement Account. Client will establish and provide an account number and ABA routing number for Client's
designated account for settlement of Transactions initiated by ACH or Credit Card debit to a Customer's account (the
“Settlement Account”). Client shall provide at least ten (10) days prior written notice to Municode prior to changing
its Settlement Account.
H. ACH Payments. Transactions paid by Customers using the Service by an ACH debit from a Customer's account will be
held in the Funding Account for three (3) full business days (“Holding Period”). Each business day, Municode will
initiate an ACH debit from the Funding Account to the Settlement Account equal to the value of the Transactions
held in the Funding Account which have satisfied the required Holding Period, less any credits to a Customer,
returns, and chargebacks arising out of any Transactions then due, as more fully set forth below.
I. Returns, and Chargebacks. All credits initiated by Client, returns, and chargebacks on Transactions made by ACH
debit from a Customer's account and third‐party fees which are the responsibility of Client pursuant to the terms
hereof will be debited from the Funding Account where Funding Account funds allocable to Client are sufficient to
cover the credit, returns, chargebacks or third party fees. If and to the extent Funding Account allocable to Client are
not sufficient to cover the credit, return, chargeback, or third‐party fees, then the difference will be debited from
the Client Funding Account and Client shall promptly deposit into the Client Funding Account an amount sufficient to
cause the balance of the Client Funding Account. If an ACH debit is returned unpaid (whether due to insufficient
funds or otherwise), Client shall pay Municode a failed settlement fee equal to the greater of one percent (1%) of
the failed ACH amount or one hundred dollars ($100) (“Failed Settlement Fee”). Municode is authorized to debit the
Failed Settlement Fee from the Client Funding Account.
J. Rules and Guidelines. Abide by the Gateway Rules and Operating Guidelines made available at
www.municode.com/gwrules or such other replacement URL as Municode may subsequently notify Client in writing,
as such Rules and Guidelines may be updated from time to time and the terms of which are hereby incorporated
herein by this reference, and Client shall with reasonable frequency review such Rules and Guidelines for updates.

Funding Source:
Funding will be from the Solid Waste Fund, Account 520.40.4310.62415 which has a
FY2017 budget of $2,500,000.
Livability Benefits:
Climate & Energy: Reduce material waste, Reduce greenhouse gas emissions
Health & Safety: Improve health outcomes
Background:
On August 7, 2017, staff received proposals to provide solid waste services for the
residents of Evanston. As indicated in the Administration & Public Works committee
presentation on February 13, 2017, staff sought proposals for the basic solid waste
services currently provided. The request also sought several alternative proposals that
would increase the type of service provided and / or provide options to reduce the waste
stream to landfills. Several alternatives allowed for a new method of collecting food
waste and disposing it at a compost site rather than a landfill site.
The current basic refuse collection services provided to residential properties include:
• Once per week collection of solid waste debris in 95 gallon carts and up to one
30-gallon bag or in 65 gallon carts from single family properties and multi-unit
properties with 5 or less units. In accordance with the City’s agreement with the
Solid Waste Agency of Northern Cook County (SWANCC), this debris is
transported to the SWANCC facility and SWANCC invoices the City separately
for the debris disposal.
It should be noted that city employees collect recyclable materials from single family
properties and multi-unit properties with 5 or less units.
Summary:
On June 29, 2017, the City issued Request For Proposal (RFP) 17-47 for Municipal
Residential and Condominium Solid Waste Collection. The RFP was advertised on
Demandstar and in the Chicago Tribune. On August 7, 2017, six proposals were
received from the firms listed in Table 1 below.

Only four of the firms, Advanced Disposal, Lakeshore Recycling, Groot Industries, and
Waste Management provided proposals for the residential services. Waste
Management only provided a proposal for the basic service and did not provide
proposals for the bid item 1, alternates 1 and 2.
A selection committee consisting of the following members reviewed the proposals and
scored the firms for project selection:
David Stoneback, Public Works Agency Director
Paul D’Agostino, Environmental Services Bureau Chief
Kumar Jensen, Sustainability Coordinator
Kevin Johnson, Environmental Services Bureau Supervisor
Linda Thomas, Purchasing Agent
The final scoring of the proposals is shown in Table 2 below.
TABLE 2:
Residential Refuse Service Collection Analysis:
Bid item 1 is for the residential solid waste collection from single family properties and
multi-unit properties with 5 or less units. There are approximately 14,600 residential
units, 12,400 stops and 15,600 carts that receive annual service through the residential
refuse collection program. The base bid is for the same service currently provided and
includes:
• Collection from a 95 gallon cart and up to one 30-gallon bag
• Collection from a 65 gallon cart
• Collection from additional carts of any size
Bid item 1, alternate 1 modifies the service to include:
• Collection from a 95 gallon cart and up to 3 cubic yards of material
• Collection from a 65 gallon cart
• Collection from additional carts of any size

Bid item 1, alternate 2 modifies the service to include:
• Collection from a 95 gallon cart and all other legal debris
• Collection from a 65 gallon cart
• Collection from additional carts of any size
Staff requested pricing for bid item 1, alternate 1 alternate 2 in order to potentially
provide better service with special pickups. Staff currently has two employees working
daily to collect special pickups. There are approximately 3,000 special pickup requests
annually, which translate to 12 pickup requests daily. During peak periods, there are 17
special pickups requests per day. Approximately 50% of the special pickup requests
are for 3 cubic yards or less of debris.
Accepting alternate 1 would allow staff to be more responsive to collecting special
pickups that are larger than 3 cubic yards. Accepting alternate 2 would allow staff to be
more responsive to special pickups and the need for the semi-annual bulk pickup would
be eliminated.
As expected, the cost proposals for Alternates 1 & 2 were higher than the base bid due
to the increased service provided. The table 3 below summarizes the annual cost for
base bid and each of the alternates.
TABLE 3
Residential Refuse Service Financial Analysis:
The existing residential refuse service contract is with Groot and expires on October 31,
2017. Their current annual rate to provide the contractual collection of debris is
$1,630,565. The low bid submitted for the basic residential service beginning November
1, 2017 was provided by Groot in the annual amount of $1,580,136, or approximately
$50,000 less than the current contract amount.
Summary:
Staff does not recommend accepting the prices for the alternate proposals since the
increased service does not justify the increased cost. Groot has performed satisfactorily
during the current contract. Staff therefore recommends award of the base bid to Groot
Industries.

execute a five (5) year Condominium Refuse Collection Agreement, with the option for
one additional three (3) year extension, to Lakeshore Recycling Systems (6132 W.
Oakton Street, Morton Grove, IL) for the collection and disposal of condominium refuse
for a 2018 unit price of $6.25 resulting in an initial annual cost of $423,000.00. Staff also
recommends the award of a waste characterization study to Lakeshore Recycling
Systems (6132 W. Oakton Street, Morton Grove, IL) in the amount of $1,900.00 for a
study to be completed within 12-months of contract award.

Background:
The City currently provides, by contractor, twice per week refuse collection service to
owner occupied buildings six (6) units and greater enrolled in the City’s Condominium
Program.
There are approximately 5,640 residential units and 265 stops that receive service
through the condominium refuse collection program. These locations are typically
serviced by dumpsters, but there are some addresses that are serviced by wheeled
carts. Dumpsters and carts are provided, owned and maintained by the contractor. The
contractor is paid monthly on a per unit basis by the City. Condominiums may request
additional days of service at a price negotiated directly with the contractor. The invoices
and payment for any additional service is billed directly to customers and the City is not
involved in that transaction. The contractor that collects the condominium refuse is
responsible for the disposal and the disposal cost is included in the contractor’s unit
price.
It should be noted that city employees collects the recyclable materials from
condominium buildings.
Summary:
On June 29, 2017, the City issued Request For Proposal (RFP) 17-47 for Municipal
Residential and Condominium Solid Waste Collection. The RFP was advertised on
Demandstar and in the Chicago Tribune. On August 7, 2017, six proposals were
received from the firms listed in Table 1 below.

A selection committee consisting of the following members reviewed the proposals and
scored the firms for project selection:
David Stoneback, Public Works Agency Director
Paul D’Agostino, Environmental Services Bureau Chief
Kumar Jensen, Sustainability Coordinator
Kevin Johnson, Environmental Services Bureau Supervisor
Linda Thomas, Purchasing Agent
The final scoring of the proposals is shown in Table 2 below.
TABLE 2:
If the contract is awarded to Lakeshore Recycling, other firms may challenge the award
because Lakeshore did not attend the mandatory pre-proposal meeting for FRP 17-47.
Staff had initially issued Request For Proposal 17-22 for the Municipal Residential and
Condominium Solid Waste Collection. A mandatory pre-proposal meeting for RFP 17-
22 was held on May 18, 2017 and Lakeshore attended that meeting. However, due to
the number of modifications to the proposal the City decided to reissue the request for
proposal as RFP 17-47 which required a second mandatory pre-proposal meeting on
July 13, 2017 that Lakeshore did not attend.
This irregularity was reviewed by the Legal Department. The Legal Department
determined that the information provided at the second meeting was substantially the
same as the information provided at the first meeting and therefore felt it was in the
City’s best interest to allow Lakeshore to submit a proposal.
Condominium Refuse Service Collection Analysis:
Bid item 2 is for the condominium solid waste collection from owner occupied buildings
six (6) units and greater. There are approximately 5,640 residential units and 265 stops
that receive service through the condominium refuse collection program. There were no
alternate bid items for the condominium refuse collection service.

Condominium Refuse Service Financial Analysis:
The existing condominium refuse service contract is with Lakeshore and expires on
October 31, 2017. Their current monthly price per unit is $6.49 resulting in a current
annual rate of $432,000. The low bid submitted for the condominium service beginning
November 1, 2017 was provided by Lakeshore for a monthly price per unit of $6.25
resulting in an annual cost of $423,000, or $9,000 less than the current contract
amount.
Summary:
Lakeshore has performed satisfactorily during the current contract and their submitted
proposal price is lower than the existing. Therefore staff recommends award of the
Condominium Refuse Collection Contract to Lakeshore Recycling.

Only three of the firms, Lakeshore Recycling, Groot Industries and Waste Management,
provided proposals for the residential yard waste services. Lakeshore was the only firm
to provide pricing for all alternates. Groot Industries provided pricing for the base bid
and alternate 2. Waste Management only provided a proposal for the basic service and
did not provide proposals for any of the alternates.

Bid item 3, alternate 4 is a mandatory yard waste and food scrap service and would be
required of all properties in Evanston including all detached dwellings, townhomes,
duplexes, and multifamily residential dwellings up to five (5) units and to owner
occupied buildings six (6) units and greater enrolled in the City’s Condominium
Program. The service provided would include:
• Collection from 95 gallon yard waste carts allowing food scraps to be placed in
the cart for 12 months
• Collection from 65 gallon yard waste carts allowing food scraps to be placed in
the cart for 12 months
• Collection from 35 gallon yard waste carts allowing food scraps to be placed in
the cart for 12 months
Staff requested pricing for bid item 3; alternates 1 and 3 in order to determine if a
shortened period when stickers could be used would reduce the cost for the yard waste
service. Cost savings were not realized and therefore staff is not recommending these
alternates.
Staff requested pricing for bid item 3; alternates 2, 3 and 4 in order to obtain pricing that
would divert food scrap from the landfill to a compost site. Food scrap would be allowed
in the yard waste cart rather than the solid waste cart and was proposed to be collected
for all twelve months throughout the year.
The cost proposals for the alternates were higher than the base bid. Table 3 below
summarizes the annual cost for the base bid and each of the alternates.

The proposals submitted to provide year round yard waste and food scrap collection for
residents with a yard waste cart or for the mandatory yard waste / food scrap program
was too expensive to implement.
Groot’s proposal for yard waste service includes the ride along of food scraps with the
base bid option.
223 of 504
Analysis:
Staff presented their initial recommendations for award of the solid waste contracts to
the APW Committee on September 11, 2017. The recommended action was to receive
and hold in committee for action on September 25, 2017. On September 21, 2017
Lakeshore sent an email to the Purchasing Division indicating that they never saw
residential services (refuse and yard waste) broken up between two different companies
and indicated that their proposal was for both services. They felt comfortable with their
price to provide both services, but not just yard waste. Purchasing sent an email to
Lakeshore on September 22, 2017 stating: “Please let us know if you will perform
Condominium and Yard Waste only at the pricing you provided in your RFP proposal.
Also, please clarify if you stated anywhere in your proposal that your pricing was
contingent on getting Bid Items 1 and 3. We will need your confirmation no later than
this afternoon.” Lakeshore’s response was: “In regards to the Yard Waste services, our
price is contingent on also servicing the residential garbage.” In a follow up email,
Lakeshore acknowledged that they had not indicated this in their proposal.
Staff then reviewed the proposals and determined that Groot had provided the second
lowest proposal for yard waste service. However, if both residential refuse and yard
waste services were awarded together, Lakeshore would have a lower combined total
than Groot as indicated in Table 4.

At the September 25, 2017 Committee meeting staff requested the committee to hold
the solid waste contract awards in committee until a legal review on how to proceed
could be completed.
On September 26, 2017, Groot submitted an unsolicited Updated Proposal to the
Purchasing Division in which they lowered their cost to provide the yard waste services.
Based on these revised costs, Groot would have a lower combined total cost than
Lakeshore as indicated in Table 5.

Residential Yard Waste Service Financial Analysis:
The existing residential refuse service contract is with Groot and expires on October 31,
2017. Their current annual rate to provide the contractual collection of yard waste is
$664,663.32. Groot’s updated proposal for the basic residential yard waste service
beginning November 1, 2017 is in the annual amount of $655,134.10, or approximately
$9,500 less than the current contract amount.

For City Council meeting of October 9, 2017 Item A3.9
Business of the City by Motion: Solid Waste Fund Analysis
For Action
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
Administration and Public Works Committee
From: David Stoneback, Public Works Agency Director
Subject: Solid Waste Fund Analysis
Date: September 27, 2017
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends that City Council continue discussion on suggested sanitation service
charge amendments and provide direction on how to proceed.
Funding Source:
N/A
Livability Benefits:
Climate & Energy: Reduce material waste, Reduce greenhouse gas emissions
Health & Safety: Improve health outcomes
Background:
The Solid Waste Fund is projected to have a deficit balance of ($800,000) at the end of
FY 2017. Additionally, because the sanitation service charges do not generate
sufficient revenue to match the expenses to provide the services, a transfer from the
General Fund to the Solid Waste Fund is necessary. In FY 2017 the General Fund will
transfer $1,055,967 to the Solid Waste Fund.
The cost to provide sanitation services has been steadily increasing over the past
several years. However the sanitation service charges have not been adjusted
accordingly. The yard waste fees were established in February 2010 and have not
been adjusted since. The monthly fees for residential refuse collection from a 65-gallon
cart and an additional cart were last increased in December 2011. The monthly fee for
residential refuse collection from a 95-gallon cart was last increased in December 2013.
The monthly fee per unit in the condominium program was last increased in May 2016.
Memorandum
226 of 504
Analysis:
Staff has prepared three scenarios based on the goals of eliminating the General Fund
(GF) transfer and to have the Solid Waste Fund (SWF) have a positive balance within
the next three years.
Staff analyzed three options for Council consideration.
Option 1 – Combined Property Tax / Sanitation Charge Increase
Option 1 uses a mix of property tax increases and sanitation charge increases. In FY
2018, a 0.5% property tax increase is proposed as well as sanitation charge increases.
The proposed sanitation charge increases are shown in Table 1.
TABLE 1, Proposed 2018 Sanitation Rate Increases
Sanitation Charge 2017 Rate
2018 Proposed
Rate
Percent
Increase
Residential Refuse
95-Gallon Cart $17.95 per month $19.50 per month 9%
Residential Refuse
65-Gallon Cart $7.95 per month $8.65 per month 9%
Condominium
Service $8.65 unit / month $8.85 unit / month 3%
Yard Waste Cart $25 per year $50 per year 100%
Yard Waste Sticker $1.75 each $2.50 each 40%
Attachment 1 provides a projection of the SWF based on Option 1. As illustrated in the
attachment, this option provides an operating surplus of $478,338 during FY 2018, even
though the GF transfer is reduced to $700,000. Assuming the SWF begins FY 2018
with a deficit fund balance of ($800,000), at the end of FY 2018 the deficit fund balance
would be reduced to ($321,662).
In 2019, a second 0.5% property tax increase is proposed without any adjustment of the
sanitation charges, and the GF transfer is reduced to $350,000. During FY 2019 an
operating surplus of $302,392 is realized, reducing the deficit fund balance to ($19,270)
at the end of FY 2019.
In 2020, sanitation charges are proposed to be increased as indicated in Table 2, and
the transfer from the GF is completely eliminated. This projection indicates that the SWF
is projected to have an operating surplus of $57,942 and that the SWF would have a
positive fund balance of $38,672.

Yard Waste Cart $50 per year $50 per year 0%
Yard Waste Sticker $2.50 each $2.75 each 10%
Option 2 –Property Tax Increase Only
Option 2 reduces the GF transfer by $350,000 per year, maintains the current sanitation
charges and increases property taxes by 1.0% in 2018 & 2019 and by 1.25% in 2020 to
address the SWF deficit. Each 1% property increase is estimated to generate $410,000
in revenue. The impact of the 1% property tax increase for a variety of properties with
different market values is shown in Table 3. Attachment 2 provides a projection of the
impact on the SWF based on Option 2. This option gradually reduces the fund balance
deficit, and at the end of FY 2020, the SWF deficit is reduced to $14,594.80.

Option 3 –Sanitation Charge Increase Only
Option 3 reduces the GF transfer by $350,000 per year and increases the sanitation
charges annually, but does not increase property taxes. Tables 4 through 10 below
indicate the proposed sanitation charge increases for residential refuse collection,
condominium refuse collection, yard waste collection, and apartment recycling
collection. For each service, a corresponding table indicates the annual impact to the
residents that utilize these services.

Attachment 3 provides a projection of the impact on the SWF based on Option 3. This
option gradually reduces the fund balance deficit, and at the end of FY 2020, the SWF
deficit is reduced to ($190,012).
Impact of Proposed Options:
For reference, staff has calculated the impact of these 3 different options for four
example property owners with varying property market values and sanitation services.
• Owner 1 has a property with a market value of $200,000, a 65-gallon refuse cart
and uses 10 yard waste stickers per year.
• Owner 2 has a property with a market value of $400,000, a 95-gallon refuse cart
and a yard waste card.
• Owner 3 has a property with a market value of $600,000, a 95-gallon refuse cart
and a yard waste card.
• Owner 4 has a property with a market value of $800,000, a 95-gallon and a 65-
gallon refuse carts and a yard waste cart.
230 of 504
Attachment 4 provides a summary of annual costs that these property owners would
pay for sanitation services based on the three different options. Please note that the
different options provide different benefits to the SWF. Option 1, combination of
sanitation charge increases and property tax increases, completely eliminates the fund
balance deficit and is projected to provide a positive fund balance of $38,672 at the end
of FY 2020. Option 2, property tax increases only, is projected to completely eliminate
the fund balance deficit and provide a positive fund balance of $14,595 at the end of FY
2020. Option 3, sanitation charge increases only, is projected to reduce the SWF deficit
fund balance to ($190,012) at the end of FY 2020.
Attachment 4 indicates Option 3, sanitation charge increases only, would have the most
impact to the residents and reduce the SWF deficit the least. Option 2, property tax
increases only, would provide the most benefit to property owners with a market value
property of $400,000 or less and be more expensive for property owners with a market
value home of $600,000 or greater in comparison to Option 1, a mix of property tax and
sanitation charge increases.

Ordinance 96-O-17, Establishing a Fee for a Recycling Program for Multi-Family
Apartment Buildings 6 Units or Greater
For Action
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
Administration and Public Works Committee
From: David Stoneback, Public Works Agency Director
Kumar Jensen, Sustainability Coordinator
Subject: Ordinance 96-O-17, Amending City Code 8-4-12 to Establish a Fee for a
Recycling Program for Multi-family Apartment Building with 6-Units or
Greater
Date: September 5, 2017
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends that City Council adopt Ordinance 96-O-17, amending City Code
Section 8-4-12 “Imposition of Sanitation Service Charges” to Add a Fee for Recyclable
Materials at Multi-family Apartments 6 Units or Greater. The proposed fee would be
$1.85 per unit per month and be imposed beginning January 1, 2019. Ordinance 96-O-
17 was approved for introduction at the September 25, 2017 City Council meeting.
Funding Source:

Livability Benefits:
Climate & Energy: Reduce material waste
Climate & Energy: Reduce greenhouse gas emissions
Health & Safety: Improve health outcomes
Background:
In February, 2015 Public Works launched a pilot program to collect recycling from select
multi-family apartment buildings 6 units and greater within Evanston. The program
enrolled 157 buildings encompassing 2,800 residential units. Prior to implementation of
the pilot program, recycling rates at the participating buildings average 13%.
Throughout the duration of the pilot program, the average has more than doubled to
35%. Since February 2015 participating buildings have increased recycling by
approximately 7,500 pounds weekly or 392,000 pounds annually. Prior to
implementation of the pilot program 22% of buildings had no recycling at all.
Memorandum
265 of 504
Staff recommends expanding the pilot program to cover all multi-family apartment
buildings 6 units and greater. This does not include mixed use properties or condo
buildings.
Currently the City does not charge for the service provided under the pilot program
because not all buildings are included. With full implementation of the service, staff
recommends establishing a per unit per month fee for this service.
Analysis:
The estimated cost to collect recyclable materials from all of the larger apartment
buildings by City employees has been calculated to be $150,960. Based on 6,962
apartment units receiving this service, a fee of $1.85 per month per unit is required to
fund this program.
Table 1 below provides a summary of the pilot program and a projection of what the
fully implemented service would be.

All Eligible Buildings 308 6,962 $1.85 $ 153,624.00
Implementation:
Staff recommends that the full recycling program for apartment buildings with 6 units or
greater, as well as the imposition of the fee, begin on January 1, 2019. In order to
provide the program, the City will need to purchase a new packer truck and hire an
additional Equipment Operator II position. Additionally, carts will have to be delivered to
the apartment buildings that are not in the pilot program.
Pending Council approval of the proposed ordinance, staff will recommend the
purchase of a new packer truck in early 2018. These types of trucks generally take
approximately 9 months to be delivered after they have been ordered. In mid-2018,
staff will begin the hiring process to employ an additional Equipment Operator II. This
new employee, working with the Supervisor, will help distribute carts to the apartment
buildings that are not currently in the pilot program. This will allow the recycling
program to being in January 2019.

For City Council meeting of October 9, 2017 Item P2
Ordinance 88-O-17 Application for a Special Use for a Type 2 Restaurant, Nic’s Organic
Fast Food, a Drive-Through, Active Ground-Floor Use, & Major Zoning Relief at 2628
Gross Point Rd.
For Introduction
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
Planning and Development Committee
From: Johanna Leonard, Director of Community Development
Scott Mangum, Planning and Zoning Administrator
Melissa Klotz, Zoning Planner
Subject: Ordinance 88-O-17, Granting a Special Use for a Type 2 Restaurant, Nic’s
Organic Fast Food, a Drive-Through, Active Ground-Floor Use, & Major
Zoning Relief at 2628 Gross Point Rd.
Date: September 28, 2017
Recommended Action
The Zoning Board of Appeals and City staff recommend adoption of Ordinance 88-O-17
granting special use approval for a Type 2 Restaurant, Nic’s Organic Fast Food, a
Drive-Through facility, a Type 2 Restaurant as an Active Ground-Floor Use, and major
zoning relief for a 20’ rear yard setback, reduced pedestrian areas fronting Crawford
Ave. and Gross Point Rd., and reduced fenestration/sill height on the Crawford Ave.
façade, at 2628 Gross Point Rd. The applicant has complied with all other zoning
requirements, and meets all of the standards for special use and major variation in the
B1a Business District and the oCSC Central Street Overlay District.
The Zoning Board of Appeals conditioned the delivery time to 7am – 10pm to ensure
delivery noise would not impact nearby residents during early morning hours. Following
ZBA, the applicant learned Sarkis receives early morning deliveries, so Nic’s Organic
prefers delivery hours of 5am – 10pm to coincide with Sarkis. Proposed ordinance 88-
O-17 reflects the ZBA condition with delivery hours from 7am – 10pm.
Livability Benefits
Economy & Jobs: Expand job opportunities
Health & Safety: Provide for access to fresh, healthful food
Summary
The applicant proposes to construct a two-story building for Nic’s Organic Fast Food, a
Type 2 Restaurant, as well as a Drive-Through facility for the restaurant. Additionally,
Memorandum
371 of 504
the applicant proposes the Type 2 Restaurant as an Active Ground Floor Use along
both Crawford Ave. and Gross Point Rd. Because the property is located in the Central
Street Overlay District, an Active Ground Floor Use is required, and special use
approval is required to permit a Type 2 Restaurant as an Active Ground Floor Use.
Nic’s Organic Fast Food is a franchise that is expanding across the country and is
currently pursuing 50 new locations within the next three years. The one currently
operating Nic’s restaurant is located in Rolling Meadows. The applicant proposes to
construct a two-story building that features a basement for storage of goods, a ground
floor restaurant, and small second floor mezzanine with limited customer seating. The
applicant feels the second story is necessary due to the limited buildable area on the
site.
The restaurant will operate from 7am – 8pm on weekdays and until 9pm on weekends.
Commissary deliveries will occur on Tuesday and Thursday mornings, typically between
7am – 11am via half or full-size semi-trucks. The applicant has obtained permission
from Sarkis to allow delivery trucks to enter through the Sarkis parking lot and park
within the alley to unload deliveries, which will be taken into the restaurant via the public
sidewalk adjacent to Crawford Ave. The ZBA conditioned the delivery time to 7am –
10pm to ensure delivery noise would not impact nearby residents during early morning
hours. Following ZBA, the applicant learned Sarkis receives early morning deliveries,
so Nic’s Organic prefers delivery hours of 5am – 10pm to coincide with Sarkis.
Proposed ordinance 88-O-17 reflects the ZBA condition with delivery hours from 7am –
10pm.
The Drive-Through includes stacking for up to eight vehicles that does not impede the
flow of traffic in the parking lot. The Zoning Ordinance requires stacking for four
vehicles for a Drive-Through Facility. The site complies with the Zoning Ordinance with
five parking spaces (one is ADA) where one parking space is required (the first 2,000
square feet of any commercial building is exempt from parking). However, the applicant
and staff acknowledge a total of five parking spaces is not adequate for the use,
therefore the applicant proposes to lease 6 parking spaces in the lot east of Sarkis. The
applicant has obtained a signed parking agreement with Sarkis that includes patching
pot holes, seal coating, and re-striping the lot. The current parking lot features
oversized parking spaces and undersized drive-aisle widths. With a new parking
configuration and typical 8.5’ x 18 parking stalls, 6 additional spaces can be added to
the parking lot without further reducing the drive-aisle widths. Nic’s Organic employees
will utilize the 6 additional parking spaces. If the parking agreement with Sarkis is ever
revoked or suspended, proposed ordinance 88-O-17 specifically notes the special use
approval is invalid and operations of Nic’s Organic must cease until a new parking
agreement is obtained and approved by City Council as an amendment to the
ordinance. Concurrent with the Nic’s proposal, staff received complaints about Sarkis
customers parking in the alley and on the vacant residential property across the alley.
Staff has cited the parking violation and is working with the property owner of the
residential property to ensure further parking violations do not occur. The violation
notice, in conjunction with the proposed improvements and additional spaces in the
Sarkis lot, should improve the existing parking situation at Sarkis. The restaurant
anticipates the busiest customer time will be in the late afternoon, not the morning like
Sarkis restaurant to the east. Seating for up to 35 customers is proposed inside, as well
372 of 504
as minimal outdoor seating, though the applicant anticipates at least 70% of customers
will utilize the Drive-Through Facility.
Proposed site plan and traffic circulation:
The applicant worked extensively with staff to minimize curb cuts since the property is
located at a busy traffic intersection. The property currently features four curb cuts from
the previous automobile service station use, which will be reduced to two curb cuts.
The proposed curb cut on Crawford Ave. is a right-in only. The proposed curb cut on
Gross Point Rd. is a right-in and right-out, only accessible when heading west on Gross
Point Rd. due to the raised median. Customers heading east on Gross Point Rd. will
enter the property by turning north onto Crawford Ave. and entering via the Crawford
Ave. entrance.
The applicant provided a traffic study conducted by Gewalt Hamilton Associates, which
found minimal impact to the intersection and traffic circulation around Crawford Ave.
and Gross Point Rd. and specifically notes the following key points:
• 50% or more of customer trips will be made by vehicles already traveling on the
adjacent streets.
• Existing intersection conditions, based on a weekday analysis, indicate a B level
for analysis of 7am-9am and 11am-1pm, and a C level from 4pm-6pm.
• Projected traffic conditions at the intersection of Gross Point Rd. and the right-
in/right-out access to the site is a B level at all analyzed weekday times.
• Projected traffic generated due to Nic’s was based on the Rolling Meadows
location (including a 200% growth buffer) noting:
373 of 504
Overall, the study concludes Nic’s will add 46 new vehicles in the intersection during the
weekday midday peak hours, which is less than one vehicle per minute, and 22 new
vehicles in the intersection during the weekday evening peak hours, which is about one
vehicle every two minutes.
A trash enclosure is proposed in the northwest corner of the property that is accessible
from the south within the Drive-Through lane for employee use, as well as from the
north in the alley where trash pickup will occur so as not to impede site circulation. The
applicant intends to improve the alley so that trash pickup is feasible from that area.
The property is adjacent to a vacant property in the R2 Single Family Residential District
beyond the alley to the north. Since the property abuts a residential district, a 25’ rear
yard setback is required. The applicant proposes a 20’ rear yard setback, which
includes an existing retaining wall at the rear property line adjacent to the alley and will
include a privacy fence to further buffer the site from the residential district. If the
building complies with the required 25’ rear yard setback, the parking spaces and/or
drive aisle would have to be reduced in size and would then require zoning relief. The
nearest residence is located approximately 100’ from 2628 Gross Point Rd. The site is
specifically designed with the Drive-Through speaker-box facing east towards Sarkis to
minimize sound from traveling to the residential area and the Zoning Board of Appeals
proposed a condition of approval to limit noise from the speaker-box.
The applicant also requests major zoning relief of regulations specified by the Central
Street Overlay District that are problematic to comply with at the property. The
applicant requests zoning relief for design elements. The Central Street Overlay
requires all street-facing facades to achieve at least 65% fenestration at the ground-
floor level. The proposed building provides adequate fenestration along the Gross Point
Rd. frontage but minimal fenestration along the Crawford Ave. frontage. It is not feasible
to increase the fenestration along Crawford Ave. since that is the food-prep/employee
area for the Drive-Through. Additionally, the Central Street Overlay requires minimum
upper sill (header) heights of no less than 10’ above grade, which the Drive-Through
window fronting Crawford Ave. does not meet. Staff supports the proposed design
element zoning relief since the intent of the regulations are met.
Landscaping with native species is proposed surrounding the perimeter of the property,
and painted pedestrian crossings will be added within the parking lot to encourage safe
pedestrian access to the restaurant entrance. The Central Street Overlay also requires
a 15’ wide Sidewalk Clear Zone and 15’ Parkway/Street Furniture Zone, for a total of a
30’ Pedestrian Area that begins at the curb (not the property line). The requirement is
intended to provide a welcoming pedestrian-friendly experience that encourages
walkability in the Central Street corridor. However, a sidewalk immediately adjacent to
the curb along both Gross Point Rd. and Crawford Ave. is not appropriate at 2628
Gross Point Rd., and would be unsafe for pedestrians to utilize with heavy vehicular
traffic adjacent to the walk. Further, the right-of-way along both streets is not 30’ wide,
so such area would have to impede into the property and use a substantial portion of
the site that is needed for parking, the Drive-Through, and vehicular circulation. Staff
supports the requested zoning relief to utilize the existing sidewalks on Gross Point Rd.
and Crawford Ave. rather than the requirement of the Central Street Overlay District.
374 of 504
City staff is aware of concerns from nearby property owners who feel the on-site parking
is inadequate for the restaurant and the proposed parking lease in the lot east of Sarkis
is problematic when Sarkis is busiest, notably during the Friday – Sunday lunch time.
Additionally, nearby property owners are specifically opposed to any commercial
development north of the alley on the vacant residentially-zoned property. The proposal
does not extend beyond the 2628 Gross Point Rd. property lines and there is no plan to
utilize the vacant residential property for parking or other commercial purposes. The
applicant attended a 6th Ward meeting on June 22, 2017 to discuss and address
concerns raised by nearby property owners.
Comprehensive Plan
The Evanston Comprehensive General Plan encourages the redevelopment of blighted
properties that promote neighborhood desirability. The Comprehensive Plan specifically
includes:
Goal: Retain and enhance a diversity of business, commercial, and
industrial areas as desirable locations of economic activity.
Objective: Retain and attract businesses in order to strengthen Evanston’s
economic base.
The proposed Type 2 Restaurant will utilize a long-time vacant commercial property and
provide a new business model that is not available in the immediate area and will
provide sales tax revenue.
Legislative History
August 15, 2017: The ZBA recommended unanimous approval of the special use and
variations with the following conditions:
1. Hours of operation shall not exceed 6am-10pm
2. Deliveries - applicant must produce a concrete plan for timing, location, and

2628 Gross Point Road ZBA 17ZMJV-0064
Steven Kolber, architect, applies for a special use permit for a Type 2 Restaurant, Nic’s
Organic Fast Food (Zoning Code Section 6-9-5-3), a Drive-Through facility (Zoning
Code Section 6-9-5-3), and for a Type 2 Restaurant as an Active Ground-Floor Use
(Zoning Code Section 6-15-14-7), in the B1a Business District and the oCSC Central
Street Overlay District. The applicant also requests major zoning relief for a 20’ rear
yard setback where a 25’ rear yard setback is required when abutting a residential
district (Zoning Code Section 6-9-5-7-G), Pedestrian Areas (Parkway/Street Furniture
Zone + Sidewalk Clear Zone) of less than 30’ where 30’ is required along Gross Point
Rd. and Crawford Ave. (Zoning Code Section 6-15-14-12), and reduced Fenestration
and Sill Heights where a minimum 65% Fenestration and 10’ Upper Sill Heights are
required facing Gross Point Rd. and Crawford Ave. (Zoning Code Section 6-15-14-14).
The Zoning Board of Appeals makes a recommendation to City Council, the determining
body for this case.
Ms. Klotz read into the record.
Ryan Arnaudov, architect, and Ben Britton, owner, explained the proposal:
● Site is located close to a major intersection, so site access is limited. Only a
right-in is proposed on Crawford, and a right-in and right-out on Gross Point Rd.
● Building will have a green roof on the flat portion that is visible from the
mezzanine seating area and grows plants.
● Drive-through queue is for 8 vehicles, and there is parking for 5 vehicles on-site.
● 10-15 customers will likely eat-in at one time; possibly 20 including the outdoor
seating.
● Anticipate most of the customers will use the drive-through. The Rolling
Meadows location is 60% drive-through during peak times and nearly 100%
drive-through during non-peak times.
390 of 504
Page 2 of 6
Zoning Board of Appeals
● Rolling Meadows location is 3,000 sq. ft. so it has much more seating and
parking.
● Drive-through speaker is on the east side of the building facing Sarkis to
minimize noise pollution.
Ms. Dziekan asked if there is a parking agreement in place for off-site parking, and the
applicant responded there is nothing in writing yet because they are waiting on CVS
corporate who owns the parking lot. Sarkis has no issue with the parking agreement.
There are more than enough parking spaces on the lot for both Sarkis and Nic’s without
overflowing vehicles onto any other properties.
Mr. Gingold noted the parking lot circulation could cause vehicles to back up onto
Crawford if a drive-through vehicle is ready to exit out of the drive-through line. Chair
Berns said the Crawford Ave. parkway is wide enough that if a vehicle needs to wait for
a little while for a drive-through vehicle to exit the line, the car in the parkway won’t
block street traffic. The Drive-through queue would have to be backed up by about 12
vehicles to truly bock a vehicle entering from Crawford, which is unlikely. The applicant
noted the average stacking during peak times at the Rolling Meadows location is 7-8
vehicles.
Chair Berns noted the traffic study showed the morning hours had one walk-in customer
and 5 drive-through customers at the Rolling Meadows location. The owner confirmed
the morning hours are slow, but the Evanston location will likely be somewhat busier.
The owner explained the Evanston location is projected to make $1.2 million, which is
enough for the business to remain viable, and is based upon 70% drive-through
customers.
The architect continued:
● The building features a small second story mezzanine to make the building more
interesting. This building is the model for all future Nic’s restaurants. All will be
this small model. The second level helps add seating too since space is limited
on the tight site.
● The dumpster is open from drive-through for employee use and from the alley for
garbage truck pickup.
● All tanks from the previous gas station have been removed and remediation
completed.
● Hours of operation will be 6am - 8pm Sunday-Thursday and till 9pm on Fridays
and Saturdays.
● The applicant provided an updated 3D rendering of the building.
● Food is made to order so wait time is a bit more than traditional fast food.
● Deliveries are anticipated on Tuesdays and Thursdays via the alley. A half or full
semi-truck will park in the alley and walk deliveries via the Crawford Ave.
sidewalk. Deliveries will take 15-20 minutes between 7am-10am during the slow
breakfast time. Delivery trucks are half and full semis. Once the business
expands into the City over the next few years, deliveries will be made by smaller
box trucks.
● Delivery semis will turn into alley from Crawford Ave. and then drive over to
Sarkis lot and out onto Gross Point Rd.
391 of 504
Page 3 of 6
Zoning Board of Appeals
Ms. Dziekan and Mr. Gingold wondered if semis could make the turn into the alley, and
the applicant responded:
● If semis cannot make the turn, the delivery plan will be adjusted.
● Delivery trucks are refrigerated so they will stay running during deliveries.
● Restaurant will have a maximum of 6 employees at one time. Employees will not
be allowed to park on-site so those spaces remain available to customers.
Mr. Gingold noted employees should not park on the street either.
Mr. Gingold asked about the concern of the drive-through speaker box noise that was
raised in a letter submitted by a neighbor, and the applicant responded noise won’t be
an issue because the speaker box faces towards the blank wall next to Sarkis.
The applicant continued:
● Lighting will be at zero at all lot lines by using shields on bollards with down-
facing lights.
● Lights will be on timers to turn off at close.
● Security lights on the building will remain on for safety and to illuminate dark
areas like the back of the drive-through lane.
● Fenestration on the building has been changed from the last plan – it now
complies with the sill height and fenestration on the Gross Point façade.
Aesthetic variations are now only needed for the Crawford façade.
● Restaurant will produce typical fast-food burger and fry smells.
● A black iron hood will vent to the flat part of the roof at the rear of the building
near the alley.
● 30’ pedestrian area does not work at this site. Instead, sensitive landscaping
with native species will be planted.
Mr. Gingold noted the staff memo indicated the 30’ pedestrian area is not appropriate at
this site given the high traffic streets, which Ms. Klotz confirmed.
Joshua Huppert, 2630 Crawford Ave., explained:
● Busiest time is same as busiest time of Sarkis, when Sarkis parking lot is full and
overflow goes into alley and residential lots.
● Submitted photos taken last Friday between 11am - noon of the Sarkis parking
lot full with cars parked in the alley and on other property.
● Between 11am - 1pm, Sarkis doesn’t have enough parking for themselves, much
less to lease to another restaurant.
● Previously there was a request for a Chase Bank at the site that included a
parking lot on the residential lot. The neighborhood was against that and wants
to protect the vacant residential lot across the alley.
● Concerned that Nic’s doesn’t have the parking lease yet.
● There is no parking on Gross Point and limited parking on Crawford, but no
sidewalk on that side of the street.
Mr. Gingold noted the ZBA can condition the special use to prohibit employees from
using residential parking, and can control how and when trucks use the alley. With a
limited number of parking spaces on site, customers will either wait for a parking space
or go somewhere else, so the customer parking should self-regulate itself.

Zoning Board of Appeals
Chair Berns asked Ms. Klotz to explain what would happen if this restaurant closes and
another restaurant wanted to locate on the property, and Ms. Klotz explained a change
from Nic’s Organic Fast Food to any other Type 2 Restaurant would either trigger a
Substitution of Special Use, which is an administrative process where additional or new
conditions can be imposed by the Zoning Administrator, or a new Special Use would be
required (if the restaurant is quite different operationally) that would go to the ZBA and
City Council.
Ms. Dziekan asked if the neighbor concerns are mostly related to the drive-through
since it makes sense to locate a restaurant on a commercial property. Mr. Huppert
responded that the proposal is too much for the property. There is too much building
and not enough space for the drive-through and adequate parking.
Chair Berns clarified the parking requirement is met. She also noted she anticipates the
restaurant will be a neighborhood destination with a number of residents who will walk
or bicycle there. Mr. Huppert responded that there is no sidewalk extending up
Crawford Ave. on that side of the street so most people will not walk or bike there, and
those that do will have to cross busy streets.
Mr. Huppert continued that the Standard that the lot is peculiar is not met because it is a
normal lot. Also, the project will diminish the value of nearby properties. There will be a
negative cumulative effect when considering Sarkis and Hot Dog Island, both which do
not have enough parking already. The Standards are not met.
Megan Lutz, 2637 Crawford Ave., explained she lives at the second adjacent residential
property and her home is closest to the restaurant. She would like a condition that
noise not carry beyond the property and is concerned that noise from the drive-through
will travel over the fence into her second floor bedrooms. A similar condition was
placed on Walgreens at Dodge and Main. This is the only property in the Central Street
Overlay that allows drive-throughs so extra scrutiny should be given to this proposal.
The Central Street Overlay specifically prohibits drive-throughs because of the nearby
Starbucks and the traffic and parking issues that are there. Ms. Lutz also requested
further information about how many and exactly where parking spaces will be leased
within the Sarkis lot. She noted she is happy the owner will pave the alley for their truck
deliveries, but wants to ensure the alley remains public with no quid pro quo that the
alley can then be used for parking or to access parking onto the residential lot behind
the restaurant. Ms. Lutz noted her concern that semis won’t be able to make the turn
into the alley off of Crawford. Conditions are needed for speaker noise, truck delivery
time and location, and employee parking be prohibited on residential streets.
Carolyn Bryzinski, 3307 Central St., agreed with previous neighbor comments but
supports the organic restaurant opportunity. More landscaping is needed, including
landscaping of the CVS/Sarkis lot.
The architect and owner responded:
● The restaurant will generate less traffic than the gas station did.
● Sharing the Sarkis parking lot is a great use of shared parking since the two
restaurants have different peak hours. Nic’s will be busiest in the evenings.
● The drive-through speaker box is in the least offensive area facing towards a
393 of 504
Page 5 of 6
Zoning Board of Appeals
blank wall to minimize noise.
● Deliveries will be difficult to make but Nic’s will work with the site conditions to
make sure it works.
Mr. Gingold suggested the applicant reach out to Sarkis to see how they do deliveries
since they appear to be successful with deliveries without impacting the neighborhood
or traffic.
The ZBA entered into deliberation:
Ms. Dziekan noted she loves the business concept. The biggest concern is the
deliveries and whether trucks can make the turn into the alley. Mr. Gingold agreed and
noted the property has been vacant for 10 years, which is not good for anyone. The
microeconomics of the limited parking will work itself out and people either won’t go to
the restaurant if there is not available parking, or they will use the drive-through. With
appropriate conditions, the proposal is a good use of the property.
Ms. Arevalo agreed and suggested signage should be placed at the curb cuts to direct
traffic appropriately.
Chair Berns complemented the applicant for the flexibility the applicant has shown by
working through concerns brought up by both staff and neighbors. She agreed the
parking will work itself out.

Memorandum
403 of 504
1450-1508 Sherman Avenue Proposed Planned Development
Background:
The 0.86-acre property, which stretches from 1450 to 1508 Sherman Avenue, is
improved with a one-story restaurant (Tommy Nevin’s Pub), a small parking lot, a
second one-story building with a restaurant (Prairie Moon) and fitness studio (Pilates
Connection), and a mostly vacant two-story building with office space on the second
floor.
The uses surrounding the site include Harper Park directly south of Lake Street and
Emmanuel Lutheran Church, and a six-story residential building on the block southeast
of the proposed development site. To the east is the thirteen-story Holiday Inn Express
Hotel (150 feet in height), a two-story parking deck owned by Holiday Inn with public
parking, and a two-story commercial building. Just north of the site on the same block
are a two-story building and one-story building with restaurants and office space. To the
immediate west is a public alley and Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) and Metra railroad
right-of-ways.
Site Layout:
The site is an irregularly shaped area that is approximately 150 feet deep at the north
end and 69 feet deep at the south end with approximately 335 feet of frontage on
Sherman Avenue. The massing of the proposed building contains two sections: a three-
story brick veneer base featuring 9,321 square feet of ground-floor commercial space
and a parking garage with 186 parking spaces, and then a modern thirteen-story glass
and metal veneer residential tower above the base that is set back from the street in a
curvilinear S shape. The lower portion of the building is built to the east and west
property lines. The north side of the building is setback 4 feet 9 inches from the property
line while the south end of the building is setback 25 feet 4 inches to accommodate the
proposed publicly accessible pocket park at the corner of Lake Street and Sherman
404 of 504
Avenue. The residential portion of the building meets the ziggurat setback on the
northeast end of the property. However, due to the shape of the site and the building,
the residential portion curves right up to the property line at the southeast corner of the
tower along Sherman Avenue.
The ground floor features three commercial spaces for a total of 9,321 square feet. The
commercial space at the corner of Lake Street and Sherman Avenue is proposed to
include a restaurant. The ground floor also includes a residential lobby, and the first
level of the parking garage with 32 parking spaces (that are accessed via the alley).
Two of the parking spaces are dedicated car-sharing spaces that will be accessible to
the public, and 11 are tandem parking spaces. The second and third floors feature a
combined 154 parking spaces for a total of 186 parking spaces at the development. A
15 minute on-street loading/drop-off zone is proposed in front of the lobby entrance and
will be monitored by a 24-hour concierge.
The building meets required setbacks for the D4 Zoning District with the exception of
the required upper-level ziggurat setback along Sherman Avenue. The roof of the top
floor of the building is at 177 ½ feet. The Zoning Ordinance excludes parking levels
from the building height, which brings to height to 156 feet 2 inches. The base of the
building is built to the east property line, two feet back from the west property line
adjacent to the alley, 25 feet 4 inches from the south property line, and 4 feet 9 inches
from the north property line adjacent to two commercial buildings.
Vehicular access to the building is via the north-south alley off of Lake Street that
follows the train embankment. The applicant proposes to convert the alley to one way
traffic only between Lake Street and Grove Street for better traffic circulation. Both the
garage entrance and three loading berths are located near the northern end of the
building off of the alley. Trash collection will also be in this area.
Proposed First Floor Plan
405 of 504
The applicant will install new streetscape elements along Sherman Avenue and Lake
Street that will maintain the existing sidewalk width and also include 13 new street trees
and four bike racks for building visitors. A Divvy Bike Share station will be installed near
the Sherman Avenue and Lake Street intersection, and a bike room for building
residents will be located on the ground floor of the building. A public pocket park is
proposed off of Lake Street that will have two additional trees and a public art display.
Landscaping will screen the pocket park from the alley, and a clear demarcation wall be
provided to separate the outdoor restaurant seating area from the rest of the pocket
park (no less than 75% of the park area is reserved for public access and use).
Compliance with the Zoning Ordinance
Planned Development
The applicant proposes to construct a 16-story multiple-family building with 286 dwelling
units, 9,321 square feet of commercial space and 186 parking spaces.
The applicant requests the following site development allowances:

406 of 504
The site development allowance for the 20 feet 1 inch two-way drive aisle is due to a
revision to the development and was not reviewed by the Plan Commission.
The proposed development exceeds the maximum site development allowances for
building height and FAR, therefore a super-majority (two-thirds) vote by the City Council
is required for approval.
Parking and Traffic:
Based on the number and type of dwelling units proposed (159 studio units, 68 one-
bedroom units, 57 two-bedroom units and 2 three-bedroom units) and 9,321 square feet
of commercial space, the development is required to have a total of 206 parking spaces.
The applicant proposes a total of 186 parking spaces (0.65 per dwelling unit and 0.54
per bedroom) for the development.
The applicant submitted a Parking and Traffic Study by Kenig, Lindgren O'Hara &
Aboona, Inc. (KLOA). The property is located approximately ¼ mile from the Davis
Street Metra and CTA stops and less than ¼ mile from the Dempster Street CTA
station. Since the building is located in close proximity to transit stops, multiple bus lines
(CTA Bus Routes 201 and 205), an existing Divvy Bike Station at Benson Avenue and
Church Street, and an existing Zipcar car sharing station at 1603 Orrington Avenue, the
study concludes that the proposed 186 parking spaces will meet the parking demand of
the building tenants. Since a site development allowance is requested for the number of
parking spaces, residents of the development will not be eligible for residential on-street
parking permits in the area. The site is not located within any parking district, but is in
close proximity to residential parking districts F to the west and B to the south.
The Parking and Traffic Study also provides an analysis of the existing traffic conditions
(including vehicle, bicycle, and pedestrian traffic) and assesses the impact of the
proposed development on the existing road network. Based on the traffic counts on
roadways surrounding the site taken on March 9, 2017 during peak commuting periods
(7:00 to 9:00 A.M. and 4:00 to 6:00 P.M.) and the adjacent public alley on July 20, 2017,
the peak traffic volume is expected to occur weekday mornings between 8 am - 9 am
and weekday evenings between 5 pm - 6 pm. According to the most recent Census
data, 52% of residents renting in the area do not own a vehicle and over 50% of area
residents use alternative modes of transportation to and from work, resulting in a
reduction in the traffic generated by nearby residential developments. When taking all
transportation mode into account, which reduces the vehicular traffic by 50%, the Study
concludes approximately 75 new vehicular trips will be generated by the development
during the morning peak hour and 109 vehicular trips during the evening peak hour on
weekdays.
The Study also indicates that with the addition of development traffic, all surrounding
streets will continue to operate at generally similar levels of service. The Study also
recommends that the signalized intersection at Sherman Avenue and Grove Street be
407 of 504
improved to include countdown pedestrian signals on all four corners of that
intersection. Staff requests the developer pays for the countdown signals as a public
benefit when this traffic signal is upgraded within the next five years.
Inclusionary Housing:
The development is subject to the Inclusionary Housing Ordinance that requires on-site
affordable housing units or a fee-in-lieu of on-site units. The developer has agreed to
the full amount of the fee-in-lieu of on-site units at a total amount of $2,900,000 as well
as providing two on-site studio units rented at 60% of Area Median Income (AMI) levels
as a public benefit. In response to the Plan Commission recommendation, the
developer has offered an alternative equivalent proposal to provide additional on-site
units and no fee-in-lieu. The proposal is incorporated into proposed Ord. 103-O-17; a
financial analysis of project feasibility by Housing & Grants Administrator Sarah Flax
may be found in the attached memo. Alternative equivalent proposals are subject to
City Council approval.
Public Benefits:
The applicant has committed to the following public benefits as part of the Planned
Development proposal:
1. A $50,000 contribution to the City of Evanston towards capital
improvement for landscaping and park revitalization.
2. Maintenance Program for Harper Park including responsibility for
landscaping maintenance, pest control, and refuse collection.
3. A publicly accessible pocket park at the south end of the site.
4. A $50,000 contribution for public art and light program to benefit the
immediate neighborhood.
5. Restoration of the Lake Street Metra viaduct for two lifecycles of the life of
the restored paint in the form of painting and lighting upgrades, or a
$50,000 per life cycle fee-in-lieu of at the discretion of the City Manager or
his/her designee.
6. $60,000 towards the installation of a Divvy Bike Share station to be
located within 700 feet of the development site.
7. Incorporation of two publicly accessible car-share spaces on the site.
8. Memberships for Divvy or similar car share membership for residents of
the development who do not own a vehicle registered in Illinois, for the
duration of their residence in the building.
9. 18-Month training workshops in construction for Evanston Township High
School students on-site and in class.
10. Resurfacing of Sherman Avenue to the centerline of the street post-
construction and restoration of the alley west of the development.
11. Streetscape improvements and maintenance along Lake Street and
Sherman Avenue including lighting, new sidewalk and landscaping.
12. Utilization of measures to mitigate harm to migratory birds. Including
meeting LEED Credit 55 standards for Bird Strike Glass for the base of the
408 of 504
building and specified mitigating measures for the remainder of the
building.
13. Wayfinding signage pointing to transit services at the Davis St.
Metra/CTA/Pace/Divvy stations and directing safe pedestrian routes to the
Dempster St. CTA Station.
14. Installation of a real-time transit arrival board in the lobby of the building.
15. Waiving move-in fees for Evanston’s Top 10 Employers by size.
16. Additional green building measures beyond the required LEED Silver
rating with a goal of LEED Gold.
17. Employment of at least 5 Evanston residents, with a goal of 10 Evanston
residents, during construction.
18. Burying of overhead utility lines in the alley adjacent to the property.
19. The installation of pedestrian countdown timers for nearby traffic signals,
as recommended in the Traffic and Parking Study.
The complete list of public benefits will be finalized prior to the consideration by the City
Council and will be explicitly required within the Planned Development Ordinance.
Standards of Approval:
The proposed development meets the standards for Special Use in Section 6-3-5-10,
the Standard for Planned Developments in Section 6-3-6-9 and standards and
guidelines established for Planned Developments in the D4 Downtown Transition
District (Section 6-11-1-10).
The proposed development will not have an adverse effect on the value of adjacent
properties. The street and sidewalk network, as well as water, sewer, electricity and gas
infrastructure already exist and service the existing buildings on the site. The applicant
has submitted a documentation of the availability of public utility infrastructure in the
area.
The proposal will not cause undue traffic congestion. The applicant has submitted a
parking and traffic study that confirms there will be minimal effect to the level of service
on existing surrounding roadways. The access to the parking garage will be provided
via the alley as will the residential and commercial loading docks. A new 15 minute
loading/drop-off area will be located in front of the lobby entrance and monitored by a 24
hour concierge. The applicant will close one existing curb cut on Sherman Avenue,
thereby providing a more continuous pedestrian environment. The loading docks and
parking for the commercial use are located adjacent to the railroad tracks and away
from Sherman Avenue reducing the effects of the traffic flow on this street and
minimizing effects on adjacent uses.
The proposed site development allowances are necessary for a desirable
redevelopment of the site with significant public benefits. The proposed development is
compatible with other similar developments in the area and is not of such nature in
409 of 504
height, bulk and scale to exercise any influence contrary to the purpose and intent of the
Zoning Ordinance. The proposal is consistent with the vision and goals of the
Comprehensive Plan for redevelopment of underutilized properties with uses compatible
with the surrounding neighborhood.
Legislative History:
September 13, 2017 – The Plan Commission recommended, 4-2, to approve the
proposed Planned Development with conditions as outlined in the staff report memo
dated September 8, 2017, in addition to the condition that the development provide a
minimum of 15 on-site units affordable at 50% to 60% AMI with a mix of studios, 1-
bedroom and 2-bedroom apartments and is otherwise consistent with the Inclusionary
Housing Ordinance.
August 9, 2017 – The Plan Commission opened the public hearing and heard testimony
by the applicant and general public. At the request of a nearby resident, the hearing was
continued to September 13, 2017.
August 2, 2017 – The Design and Project Review Committee (DAPR) Committee
recommended unanimous approval of the proposed development with the condition that
the plans be revised based on staff comments made during the meetings and in the
project review letter.
July 26, 2017 – The Design and Project Review Committee (DAPR) Committee began
review of the project and voted to continue the project to the next meeting to address
concerns mentioned during the meeting.

Subject: Alternative Equivalent Inclusionary Housing Proposal for On-Site
Affordable Units in the Albion Development
Date: October 9, 2017
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends consideration of a proposal from the developer of the Albion, a mixed
use development with 286 rental units located at 1450-1508 Sherman Avenue, that
would provide fifteen (15) on-site affordable dwelling units as an alternative equivalent
means of complying with the City’s Inclusionary Housing Ordinance (IHO).
The developer’s initial proposal to pay a fee-in-lieu of $2.9 million complies fully with the
IHO. Additionally, as part of its proposed public benefits, the project includes two on-
site units with rents restricted to households with incomes at 60% of area median
income, so exceeds the requirement.
Funding Source: NA
Livability Benefits:
Built Environment: Support housing affordability; provide compact and complete streets
and neighborhoods;
Equity & Empowerment: Ensure equitable access to community benefits, and support
poverty prevention and alleviation
Discussion:
The City’s Inclusionary Housing Ordinance, Section 5-7-10 Reduction of Requirements
states that if an applicant presents clear and convincing financial evidence that full
compliance with the requirements would render the development financially infeasible,
the applicant may seek a reduction in the required number of affordable dwelling units
and/or payment in lieu as to render the project financially feasible. The applicant is not
seeking a reduction of the fee in lieu, but has proposed an alternative that seeks a
reduction in the required number of affordable units in an effort to respond to demands
Memorandum
411 of 504
that affordable units be included in new developments in downtown districts. The
proposal includes a combination of studio, one- and two-bedrooms, at 60% and 80% of
the area median income that will be distributed throughout the development. Unit sizes
and affordability restrictions are shown in the table below.
Number of Units
Unit Type 60% AMI 80% AMI Market Total
Studio 4 4 151 159
1-Bedroom 2 2 64 68
2-Bedroom 1 2 54 57
3-Bedroom 0 0 2 2
Totals 7 8 271 286
This proposal was developed to provide the maximum number of affordable units on
site while maintaining the financial viability of the project. The developer has provided a
detailed explanation to demonstrate that providing 29 units on-site, half of which would
be at 50% AMI and half at 60% AMI, would make the project financially infeasible. The
financial analysis is based on a capitalization rate (stabilized net operating income
divided by the market value of the property) currently between 4.75% and 5% for new
developments of this type. Staff has consulted with an Evanston-based lender that has
no involvement in the development on the projects financial analysis and assumptions
and was found to be sound based on lender’s requirements shown below:
• Stabilized Yield on Cost (net operating income divided by the total project cost) of
6% to account for 5% cap rate
• Project Level Internal Rate of Return of 17% or more
The table below compares three scenarios contemplated for this project 1) fee-in-lieu
plus two affordable units on site, 2) the alternative proposal of fifteen affordable units on
site, and 3) 29 affordable units on site at the project. The alternative proposal with 15
affordable units on site will require the developer to reduce total development costs to
maintain an acceptable Yield on Cost. The land cost is fixed based on purchase
agreements and includes remediation of contaminants from a prior use. The table
compares the Stabilized Yield on Cost (Stabilized Yield) and Project Level Internal Rate
of Return (IRR).
Yield on
Cost IRR
Fee-in-lieu + 2 affordable units on site 6.0% 19.3%
Fifteen affordable units on site 5.8% 17.8%
Twenty nine affordable units on site 5.4% 13.1%
As the table shows, the requirement of a 6% Yield on Cost and 17% IRR or better,
makes the most financially comfortable scenario the first that pays the fee-in-lieu and
two on-site units, while providing the 29 units on-site is financially infeasible.
412 of 504
Additional factors for consideration:
• Inclusion of 15 affordable units in census tract 8094 would be an increase of over
30% and further the goal of distributing affordable housing more equitably
throughout our community, particularly in high-cost transit-oriented neighborhoods.
• Inclusionary units would be available in late 2019 or early 2020
• Based on the current cost of constructing new units in Evanston’s downtown of
$300,000 to $350,000, the City would not be able to develop the same number of
units in the downtown with the total fee in lieu.
• The cost of construction of the 15 affordable units is $334,555 per unit, or
$5,018,325.

A. PLANNED DEVELOPMENT 17PLND-0052
1450-1508 Sherman Avenue
Andrew Yule, Albion Residential, is requesting approval of a Planned
Development to construct a 16-story, 286-unit residential building with 9,321
square feet of ground floor commercial space and 186 parking spaces. The
applicant seeks site development allowances for: number of dwelling units

(286 units proposed where a maximum of 93 units are allowed by code),
building height (178 feet proposed where 105 feet is allowed by code), floor
area ratio (6.78 proposed where 5.4 is allowed by code), number of parking
spaces (186 spaces proposed where 409 spaces are required by code), and
a ziggurat setback that is less than 40 feet at a height of 42 feet. In addition,
the applicant may seek and the Plan Commission may consider additional
Site Development Allowances as may be necessary or desirable for the
proposed development.
Ms. Pugh provided a brief overview of changes to proposed development, stating
public benefits and briefly providing the standards for project approval. Donna Pugh,
of Foley & Lardner, reviewed the request site development allowances and
introduced the development team which included Jason Koehn and Andrew Yule of
Albion Development; Paul Alessandro of Hartshorne Plunkard Architecture; Ray
Hartshorne Ted Wolff of Wolff Design Landscaping and Luay Aboona of Kenig
Lindgren O'Hara & Aboona, Inc..
Chair Ford stated that a request for a continuance had been submitted from a resident
within 1,000 feet of the subject property. The Commission granted the continuance with
the hearing being continued to the September 13, 2017 Plan Commission meeting after
additional public comment was received. He then opened the hearing to Commissioner
questions and comments which included:
● Location of dedicated retail parking. Mr. Yule stated that there would be 14
dedicated parking spaces for the retail space, likely to be for employees. He
also stated that the restaurant tenant would be required to have a valet
service.
● Showing a demand for studio units. Mr. Yule explained that there are a
number of factors contributing to the demand including: mortgage standards
being higher, millennials demanding fewer bedrooms and empty nesters
looking to downsize. He stated that the target audience is for millennials first
and empty nesters second who are looking to be in an urban environment.
● Projected leasing rates. Mr. Yule stated that proposed rates would depend on
the market but be in the range of $1500 for studio to 3 bedrooms depending
on location within the building. Would like to keep a $50,000 salary range for
the building
● Inclusion of Leed 55 bird migration measures within the building design.
● Consideration of other building massing options. Mr. Alessandro stated that
this was done and various considerations such as shadow effects, bird
migration patterns, height and other items were looked at.
● Traffic pattern concerns. Mr. Yule reiterated that parking access would be off
of the alley behind the building which is proposed to exit north of the site onto
449 of 504

Plan Commission Minutes 8/9/17
Grove Street. Mr. Aboona shared that the intersections near the site were
analyzed and that it is expected that not every resident will have a vehicle and
that those who do have vehicles would not all drive. Additional discussion
occurred regarding traffic within and coming out of the alley.
● Why the developer decided to pay a fee-in-lieu instead of providing onsite
affordable units. Financially the project would not work by adding all of the
affordable units on-site.
● Additional information on the proposed partnership with Evanston Township
High School.
● Clarification on required remediation of the site. Mr. Yule stated that there
were a number of former uses that contributed to site contamination. The
southeast corner of the site is most contaminated. Both a phase I and phase II
were done and additional work will be done to remove contamination from site
and put down a vapor barrier over the property to make sure contamination
does not affect future uses.
● How construction will mitigate railroad noise. A triple glazed system will be
used to mitigate noise, vibration not anticipated within the structural system.
Chair Ford then opened the hearing to questions from members of the public. A total of
11 people asked questions which included:
What the vision is for the type of tenant that will be leasing in the building. Koehn
stated that the description is largely anecdotal but geared to young professionals,
cannot be precisely defined and that units of a similar size are occupied in similar
buildings in Evanston.
Clarification on how the figure of 14 school age children was calculated. Based on
and S.B. Friedman study which looked at census tracts, building unit mix and
comparison communities.
Discussions of providing additional affordable units on site and the costs
associated.
Clarification on bird migration impact and how impacts will be mitigated.
How the proposed amenities and benefits will be enforced or monitored. Mr.
Mangum stated that the ordinance approving the project will have conditions
placed which put stipulations on timing of the public benefits being in place and
make them statutory requirements.
Parking concerns and whether there will be an additional charge for residents to
have a parking space. Staff provided information on the TOD Parking Study that
was drafted and speaks to car ownership and parking use. Mr. Yule mentioned
that valet would be handled through a partnership with the owners of nearby
garages at the Holiday Inn Express or nearby City garages.
If studies had been conducted on wind tunnel effect from the project. Mr.
Alessandro explained that the podium design mitigates the effects wind may have

on the street level below.
What commercial tenants are intended for the ground floor space. Tommy Nevins
and Prairie Moon representatives spoke in support of the project. Rohit Sahajpal
of Tommy Nevins Pub stated that the owners of the restaurant and site voluntarily
put their property up for sale due to decreased revenues and site remediation
costs. Robert Strom of Prairie Moon believes the project is a good opportunity to
update the restaurant.
Clarification on the building setback and sidewalk width. With a zero building
setback on Sherman the clear sidewalk width is approximately 9 feet 6 inches
wide.
Could the project be done meeting the zoning standards.
Chair Ford then opened up the public hearing to public testimony. Five members of the
public spoke with others deciding to hold their testimony to the continued meeting. The
public testimony consisted of the following comments:
Appreciation of the building design but wanting more on-site affordable units to be
included and consideration of possible residents.
Requiring wind study, bird migration study and solar study as requested by similar
project in Oak Park.
Possible ways to adjust the building design to address development allowances
and other zoning concerns in addition to obtaining more public benefits.
Appreciation of working with the existing restaurants and creativity of some public
benefits such as working with ETHS.
Concern of following the 2009 Downtown Plan
Chair Ford mentioned that those who chose to hold their testimony would remain
under oath and be able to speak at the next regularly scheduled Plan Commission
meeting.
Chair Ford made a motion to continue the item to September 13, 2017 at 7:00
PM in Council Chambers. A voice vote was taken and the motion was approved
unanimously, 6-0.
Commissioner Lewis made a motion to recommend approval of the planned
development with conditions as recommended by staff and the added
condition that Albion Residential provide an alternative equivalent proposal for
complying with the Inclusionary Housing Ordinance, which proposal shall
provide a minimum of 15 units, in a mix of studio, 1- and 2-bedroom units,
affordable by households at 50-60% of AMI, and which shall be consistent with
the Inclusionary Housing Ordinance

affordable units on-site.
● Additional information on the proposed partnership with Evanston Township
High School.
● Clarification on required remediation of the site. Mr. Yule stated that there
were a number of former uses that contributed to site contamination. The
southeast corner of the site is most contaminated. Both a phase I and phase II
were done and additional work will be done to remove contamination from site
and put down a vapor barrier over the property to make sure contamination
does not affect future uses.
● How construction will mitigate railroad noise. A triple glazed system will be
used to mitigate noise, vibration not anticipated within the structural system.
Chair Ford then opened the hearing to questions from members of the public. A total of
11 people asked questions which included:
What the vision is for the type of tenant that will be leasing in the building. Koehn
stated that the description is largely anecdotal but geared to young professionals,
cannot be precisely defined and that units of a similar size are occupied in similar
buildings in Evanston.
Clarification on how the figure of 14 school age children was calculated. Based on
and S.B. Friedman study which looked at census tracts, building unit mix and
comparison communities.
Discussions of providing additional affordable units on site and the costs
associated.
Clarification on bird migration impact and how impacts will be mitigated.
How the proposed amenities and benefits will be enforced or monitored. Mr.
Mangum stated that the ordinance approving the project will have conditions

Plan Commission Minutes 8/9/17
placed which put stipulations on timing of the public benefits being in place and
make them statutory requirements.
Parking concerns and whether there will be an additional charge for residents to
have a parking space. Staff provided information on the TOD Parking Study that
was drafted and speaks to car ownership and parking use. Mr. Yule mentioned
that valet would be handled through a partnership with the owners of nearby
garages at the Holiday Inn Express or nearby City garages.
If studies had been conducted on wind tunnel effect from the project. Mr.
Alessandro explained that the podium design mitigates the effects wind may have
on the street level below.
What commercial tenants are intended for the ground floor space. Tommy Nevins
and Prairie Moon representatives spoke in support of the project. Rohit Sahajpal
of Tommy Nevins Pub stated that the owners of the restaurant and site voluntarily
put their property up for sale due to decreased revenues and site remediation
costs. Robert Strom of Prairie Moon believes the project is a good opportunity to
update the restaurant.
Clarification on the building setback and sidewalk width. With a zero building
setback on Sherman the clear sidewalk width is approximately 9 feet 6 inches
wide.
Could the project be done meeting the zoning standards. Mr. Koehn stated that
the project could not be done if it had to meet zoning standards.
Chair Ford then opened up the public hearing to public testimony. Five members of the
public spoke with others deciding to hold their testimony to the continued meeting. The
public testimony consisted of the following comments:
Appreciation of the building design but wanting more on-site affordable units to be
included and consideration of possible residents.
Requiring wind study, bird migration study and solar study as requested by similar
project in Oak Park.
Possible ways to adjust the building design to address development allowances
and other zoning concerns in addition to obtaining more public benefits.
Appreciation of working with the existing restaurants and creativity of some public
benefits such as working with ETHS.
Concern of following the 2009 Downtown Plan
Chair Ford mentioned that those who chose to hold their testimony would remain
under oath and be able to speak at the next regularly scheduled Plan Commission
meeting.
Chair Ford made a motion to continue the item to September 13, 2017 at 7:00
PM in Council Chambers. A voice vote was taken and the motion was approved

Background
The subject property, commonly known as 1829 Simpson Street is located on the north
side of Simpson Street between Darrow Avenue and Brown Avenue at the terminus of
Dodge Avenue. The property consists of a 27-foot wide and 159-foot deep lot of record
(4,293 square feet). The lot is currently improved with a single story commercial
building.
The existing nonconforming building has been in existence for over 80 years and has
previously been used as a hair salon, neighborhood grocery and antique shop. In
addition, a single family home existed on the site before being demolished in 2004. The
Memorandum
458 of 504
site was previously zoned for commercial use until 2000 when that portion of the block
was rezoned to R3 Two-family residential, making it nonconforming. A previous attempt
to rezone the property to MU Transitional Manufacturing District (originally requested to
rezone to B1 Business), in order to use the building as an artist studio/cabinetry
workshop, was denied by City Council in July of 2008.
The properties to the north and west are all zoned OS, Open Space and consist of
Twiggs Park and the North Shore Canal. The area to the south is zoned R3, Two-
Family Residential and consists of single family homes. The properties to the immediate
east are also zoned R3, Two-Family Residential and are currently occupied by Housing
Authority of Cook County multi-family residences, and single and multi-family homes.
Property further east is zoned R4 General Residential and, across Darrow Avenue, B1
Business and consists of mixed-use buildings, commercial spaces, single family homes
and churches.
Proposal Overview
Map Amendment:
The applicant is requesting approval of the Zoning Map Amendment to rezone the
subject property from R3, Two-Family Residential to B1, Business. The rezoning of the
property would enable the use of the property for a Type 2 Restaurant (contingent on
the approval of a Special Use).
The applicant purchased the property in October of 2016. Previous owners used the
property as a beauty salon, small neighborhood grocery/snack shop, and an antique
store, though the building has been vacant for at least the last five years. With the
exception of a few uses, such as a daycare home, a public education institution or bed
and breakfast, current R3 zoning classification only allows a single-family residential
use. Additionally, due to the narrow width of the lot, redeveloping or constructing
significant additions to the property would create difficulties in meeting side setback
requirements for residential and non-residential uses. Further, since the building was
459 of 504
last used for commercial purposes, a change to a single family residence would trigger
a parking requirement of two spaces, which is not feasible with the current building
location and lot width.
The proposed B1, Business District allows for a mix of commercial and residential uses
meant to serve the immediate neighborhood. Per the B1 district requirements, non-
residential uses have no minimum lot width or lot size requirements (residential uses
are required to be 2,500 square feet in size per dwelling unit). Whereas in the R3 district
the minimum lot width required is 35-feet and the minimum lot size required for non-
residential uses is 7,200 square feet (3,500 square feet for each two-family unit and
5,000 square feet for single family units). As such, if rezoned, the 4,293-square foot lot
would be compliant.
The proposed rezoning would also reduce the nonconforming status of the existing one-
story building at 1829 Simpson Street which would become compliant with the lot area
and west side yard setback requirements. Additionally, the property would then comply
with parking since the first 2,000 sq. ft. of commercial uses are excluded when
calculating parking. Since the last use at the property was commercial, a change to a
residential use at the property would require either substantial alteration of the structure
to provide parking within the building, or approval of a parking variation.
Special Use:
The applicant requests to operate a Type 2 Restaurant featuring Eastern European food
such as chebureki (deep fried meat) pies, khachahapuri (baked cheese) pastries, and
pierogi (dumplings) in addition to soups, salads, and kabobs. The restaurant will operate
from 11am – 8:30pm seven days a week. The restaurant will utilize 2-4 employees per
shift, and the applicant has committed to hiring locally. Since there is no on-site
parking, employees that drive will either park on the street or in the Ecology Center
parking lots off of McCormick Ave. Ample street parking is typically available in the
460 of 504
area, though street parking is occasionally full when special events take place at the
Dar-us-Sunnah Mosque at Simpson St. and Brown Ave.
The applicant proposes seating for 13 customers within the building. Most of the indoor
seating is situated near the proposed windows along the west façade to take advantage
of the view of the park. Outdoor seating on a new rear patio for approximately 40
customers is also proposed, as well as a fire pit. The roofed porch at the rear of the
building will feature a condiment bar and may include additional seating.
Commissary supplies will be purchased at Jetro Supply and delivered by the restaurant
operator’s vehicle. Incidental deliveries of bulk items such as flour will occur every 5-6
weeks via a box truck. Food delivery to customers is not currently proposed, but may
be added in the future.
The applicant proposes to use garbage cans will be located on the side of the building
near the east property line in an enclosure, and will be wheeled through the building out
to the curb for trash pickup. The ZBA recommended the garbage cans should not be
placed at the curb for trash pickup, and instead the refuse hauler should access the
cans in their regular location, wheel them to the truck to empty them, and then
immediately wheel them back to their regular location.
There was also concern expressed by members of the public that the restaurant will
expand over the property line into Twiggs Park. However, all aspects of the proposal
including the fence and outdoor seating are proposed on the private property.
Major Zoning Relief:
The applicant proposes to demolish the rear 10’ x 16’ portion of the building that is in
disrepair. An addition is proposed in the same approximate location. However, the
addition is 20’ x 16’ to accommodate a kitchen prep area. A roof extends off of the
addition to create a covered outdoor seating area with a condiment bar.
The portion of the structure to be demolished features a legally nonconforming east
interior side yard setback since the structure is located at the property line. Since the
property abuts a residential property, a 10’ east interior side yard setback is required for
any new construction, including the kitchen prep area addition and extended roof. The
applicant proposes a 4.3’ setback, which is an improvement from the current 0’ setback,
461 of 504
but does not meet the 10’ requirement. The applicant proposes a fence around the
property. The DAPR Committee suggested the fence along the east side of the
property should be solid to provide screening from the adjacent residential property but
should be transparent along the west side to provide views of Twiggs Park.
The addition cannot be constructed in a compliant location to meet the 10’ setback
requirement due to the 27’ lot width, existing interior layout, and location of exterior
doors at the rear of the building. The requested zoning relief is the minimum change
necessary to accommodate the proposed use and accommodate customer traffic
through the building to the outdoor seating in the rear since there is no other way to
access the rear from the property.
Comprehensive Plan
The 2000 Comprehensive General Plan designates this land as residential with
commercial land located where the existing B1 Business district is east of the site along
Simpson Street. Though the rezoning would not be consistent with the most current
land use plan, it does meet the goal of recognizing benefits of mixing residential,
commercial and institutional uses in neighborhoods as well as maintaining appealing
character of neighborhoods while guiding their changes. The Evanston Comprehensive
General Plan encourages the adaptive reuse of existing structures and vacant, blighted
properties. The Comprehensive Plan also recognizes the importance of cohesive and
mutually beneficial mixed-use areas that feature residences as well as neighborhood
business such as the proposed Type 2 Restaurant. The Comprehensive Plan
specifically includes:
Objective: Maintain the appealing character of Evanston’s neighborhoods
while guiding their change.
Policy: Preserve neighborhood character while supporting redevelopment
efforts that add to neighborhood desirability.
Policy: Encourage creative adaptive reuse of properties available for
redevelopment using zoning standards and the Design & Project
Review process.
The proposed Type 2 Restaurant will occupy a currently vacant structure, improve the
aesthetics of the property, and provide an appropriate use for the neighborhood.
Legislative History
August 30, 2017 – In a joint Plan Commission and ZBA public hearing, the Plan
Commission unanimously recommended denial of the proposed map amendment and
the ZBA recommended denial of the proposed special use and major zoning relief by a
1-5 vote for approval. If the proposal is approved, the ZBA recommends the following
conditions:
1. Hours of operation shall not exceed 10:30am - 8:30pm.
2. No amplified music outside.
462 of 504
3. Fencing shall be installed as shown on the plans except that there shall not be a
gate on the fence on the west side of the property leading to the park.
4. Employees shall park in a City parking lot.
5. Trash in the rear must be in a lockable enclosure.
6. Lighting shall be dimmed when the restaurant is not in operation, to the minimum
level adequate for safety.
7. The restaurant must have an aggressive monthly rodent control plan.
8. Commercial garbage pickup is required at least two times per week and must be
picked up by the refuse hauler directly from the trash enclosure and wheeled
through the restaurant so that at no time are there garbage cans sitting out on
the parkway.
9. Substantial compliance with the documents and testimony on record including
Sustainability Plan.
August 16 & 23, 2017 –The Design and Project Review Committee found the proposed
map amendment, special use, and major zoning relief to be an appropriate adaptive
reuse of a long-time vacant commercial building. The Committee noted building
materials and aesthetics would be reviewed in further detail as part of the building
permit process. The Committee unanimously recommended approval with the following
conditions:
1. Trash enclosure/garbage management plan required.
2. Hours of operation as presented by the applicant (10:30am – 8:30pm).
3. Clarification regarding the length of the property (discrepancy on new survey
vs. old survey – does not impact the proposal) prior to City Council approval.

1829 Simpson Street 17PLND-0037 & 17ZMJV-0065
Rita Kats, property owner, requests a map amendment to rezone the property located at
1829 Simpson Street from the R3 Two-Family Residential District to the B1 Business
District (Zoning Code Section 6-3-4, Title 6 of the City Code). The applicant also
requests a special use permit for a Type 2 Restaurant in the B1 Business District
(Zoning Code Section 6-9-2-3), and major zoning relief for a 4.3’ east interior side yard
setback for a roofed patio and one-story addition where 10’ is required (Zoning Code
Section 6-9-2-7-E). The Plan Commission and Zoning Board of Appeals make
recommendations to City Council, the determining body for this case.
485 of 504

Joint Plan Commission and Zoning Board of Appeals
Ms. Jones presented an overview of the requested map amendment, special use, and
major zoning relief.
Arkady Kats, applicant, explained the proposal:
● Purchased the property in October 2016
● Restaurant will serve as a gateway from the west side entrance to the City.
● Restaurant will have a nice view of park to the west
● Will serve Mediterranean and Eastern European food combined with a good
atmosphere and pricing
● Attended the neighborhood meeting in June to hear concerns
● Back portion of building is in terrible condition so needs to be torn down and
rebuilt. New addition will be at least 4.3’ from side property line (existing is at 0’)
but extending further back.
● Mr. Kats is also a General Contractor with experience
● Clarified the portion to be torn down is an old 16’ x 10’ addition and will be
replaced with a larger addition that is further away from the east property line.
● Addition is needed for kitchen prep area for the bakery
● Fence will surround property to mitigate noise generated from the outdoor patio
space. It will be a solid fence on the east side and open fence on the west to
provide a view of the park.
● Patio won’t be used for special events; it will be used by restaurant customers
only.
● Restaurant will be owner operated
● Outdoor sports field is at least 30’ north of patio on City property and there is 20 -
30’ of landscaping on the restaurant property to buffer from that.
● Outdoor fireplace will make the outdoor space more inviting
● Garbage will be enclosed to discourage animals from getting at refuse.
● Roll-out garbage cans are acceptable by Groot. Garbage will be picked up once
a week.
Ms. Berns suggested garbage should be picked up more than once a week since this is
a commercial use.
Ms. McAuley suggested Groot should roll the garbage cans out so that the cans don’t sit
out on the parkway in view often. Mr. Kats responded that other businesses in similar
situations pay extra for the cans to be rolled out by Groot instead of leaving them out.
Ms. McAuley noted this project should be held to a high standard given its proximity to a
large park. Building aesthetics were then discussed. Applicant will attempt to restore
486 of 504
Page 3 of 9
Joint Plan Commission and Zoning Board of Appeals
the original brick on the building, but it has been painted over many times so that may
not be feasible. Original brick is light red.
Mr. Kats continued:
● Agree to follow the Sustainability Plan for recycling, etc.
● Old addition that will be demolished is 170 square feet and the new addition will
be 320 square feet.
● Kitchen prep area will have large mixers and large tables, freezers, and rolling
equipment to make the best use of the small space.
● Ovens and possibly a deep fryer will be along the east portion of the building
near the ordering area and near the display refrigerators that will feature cakes,
pastries, frozen dough and frozen fruit.
● Most commissary deliveries will be brought in by personal vehicle, but large
amounts of flour will be delivered approximately every 6 weeks, on Simpson St. -
one pallet delivery. There will not be a weekly box truck delivery like many
restaurants have.
● Hours of operation are proposed from 11am - 8:30pm for customers.
● Up to 4 employees per shift
● Plenty of parking on the street so employees that drive will park on the street.
● Intend to hire local teenagers and teach them restaurant skills.
● Have experience running a restaurant - previously ran one for 3 years and then
the lease ended.
● No sound system or music will be played outdoors.
● Fast-casual concept that will take 5-10 minutes per order.
● Hood vent will go through the roof 3-4’ away from the east property line with a
parapet surrounding it.
Ms. Arevalo suggested the vent not be so close to the residential property to the east to
mitigate restaurant smells. Mr. Kats explained he can move it a few feet further west.
Ms. Berns asked for clarification about where the parapet will be raised and Mr. Kats
explained it will be raised all the way around the building. Mr. Ford then asked for
clarification on where the HVAC equipment would be located and Mr. Kats responded
that it will be on the rooftop and be screened by the parapet.
Mr. Isaac asked if the applicant is open to installing a scrubber given the concern of the
restaurant odor and close proximity to residential. The applicant answered he would
look into it, and there may be other ways to address the issue depending on the hood
type that is used.
487 of 504
Page 4 of 9
Joint Plan Commission and Zoning Board of Appeals
Mr. Kats explained customers will only be able to enter the premises from the front
door. Customers can take their food to go. There will even be an option to text your
order in. Customers that eat in the rear patio will have outdoor garbage cans as well as
indoor. Customer garbage is on the east side of the property.
Ms. Arevalo asked about the proposed fence, explaining an open fence on the west
side of the property by the park may allow garbage from outdoor patrons may blow
through the fence into the park. Ms. Berns explained the applicant is responsible for
collecting all garbage within 250’ of the property per the Litter Collection Plan required
of all Type 2 Restaurants.
Ms. Berns asked if it would be possible to construct a trash enclosure in the parkway,
and Ms. Klotz explained the City does not want permanent structures in the parkway,
but the garbage can issue could be addressed by either limiting the time garbage cans
can be out in the parkway or by requiring the garbage pickup company to roll the cans
through the building themselves if possible.
Ms. Dubin asked for clarification on the garbage cans and Mr. Kats clarified they will be
small cans similar to residential garbage cans, not metal dumpsters. There is no alley
access or other area to locate the garbage for pickup.
Chair Ford noted a continuance may be requested in writing, to a date certain. There
were no requests for a continuance.
Public Comment:
Former City Clerk Rodney Greene - clarified a majority of the residents in the area of
the restaurant are not in favor of the requested zoning change because it will increase
traffic, and because there are many rodents in the area already even though there isn’t
any restaurant waste currently. Bringing the garbage through the restaurant out to the
parkway could contaminate customer food in process. The property is not a good fit for
a restaurant. Many nearby residents were not contacted, including the residents
immediately next door. Mr. Greene asked the procedure to request a continuance.
Chair Ford explained a continuance may be requested but those that testify tonight
cannot testify again at the next meeting.
Mr. Greene continued to explain there is not ample parking for the restaurant, and street
parking is often full.
Betty Ester explained she was previously told the property could not be used for
affordable housing because the area was owned by MWRD. Previous request for
488 of 504
Page 5 of 9
Joint Plan Commission and Zoning Board of Appeals
cabinet-making was denied due to the fumes that would be emitted. Ms. Esther asked
what the correct property lines are since there is conflicting information, and will the
restaurant use any part of the City or MWRD land for the restaurant or access to the
patio area. Ms. Esther noted residents have not been aware of the proposal sinc e
October 2016 as stated by the applicant.
Ms Klotz noted a survey approximately 100 years old shows the property at 152 feet
long, but the current survey as well as the neighboring plat of survey show the property
is 159 feet long. Either way, there is no part of the proposal that is affected by the 7’
discrepancy.
Carlis Sutton, 1821 Darrow Ave., spoke in opposition to the proposal. Building has
never been a restaurant. It was a convenience store and beauty shop.
Priscilla Giles stated there was never a restaurant at the property, but there was a
snackery that sold candy for a short time. Nothing was cooked on site. Housing similar
to what is next door could be designed for the site. There used to be a driveway on the
property where the park now is (which wasn’t there at the time) that lead to the house
that used to be on the property. The rear patio invites trash and rodents to the area. A
restaurant does not fit in the neighborhood.
Mr. Kats explained the property to the east is 80 feet wide and this property is 27 feet
wide so it is not feasible to build something similar to what is next door.
Tina Foster, 2026 Dodge Ave., sees rats crossing Dodge regularly and is therefore very
concerned about garbage and rodents at the restaurant. Ms. Foster also noted concern
over the aesthetics of the building and whether it will improve the neighborhood or not,
and the lack of parking. Ms. Foster prefers to park on the street rather than her
driveway for safety reasons, and often cannot find one parking space.
Madelyn Ducre, 2039 Brown Ave., noted the area has lost a lot over the years. The
applicant does not appear to know exactly what he wants to do at the property. The
neighborhood needs to know all exact details. Ms. Ducre asked the following: If the
applicant runs out of money will he request money from the City to complete the
project? What happens if the restaurant does not work out, or if a liquor license is
requested? What will be done with the patio in the winter?
Former Alderman Delores Holmes noted she will only speak about the rezoning, and
stated as Alderman last October she was notified by City staff of a proposal to convert
the building to a residence and add a second story. The building was not previously
vacant - the previous owner illegally operated a business. Neighbors have said they are
489 of 504
Page 6 of 9
Joint Plan Commission and Zoning Board of Appeals
not comfortable with the property being used as a restaurant. Neighbors who are
renters feel their voices have not been heard and they do not have a say. With
rezoning to B1, many other uses would be allowed such as a brewery. The zoning
change is not appropriate for the neighborhood.
Former Mayor Lorraine Morton, 2102 Darrow, explained public housing is located next
door. Ms. Morton spoke to one of the residents of that property who is not in favor of
living next door to a restaurant. Ms. Morton used to own the property and sold it to Cook
County years ago for housing. The 5th Ward has had a revival and has had many
improvements, so a bad project could be detrimental to the neighborhood. Parking will
be an issue. There are trees surrounding the property that may be harmed. There are
small animals that will get into the garbage.
Daphne Watson, 1822 Simpson requests the rezoning be withdrawn. Ms. Watson was
not aware the building was sold or anything was proposed until very recently. There is
no street parking available. This business will not serve the community. What happens
when the restaurant fails - what will come in next? The neighborhood does not need
another place that draws in people from other neighborhoods, it needs something that
serves and uplifts this neighborhood such as a library.
Elizabeth Brasher stated she is concerned that Mr. Kats has not adequately answered
many of the questions raised. People will not want to eat in a restaurant that garbage
cans have to be carried through, and no one wants to look at the garbage cans in front
of the property. It appears Mr. Kats is not aware what the community wants, and was a
market study done to determine what type of food the area would want. There is not
ample parking currently so there definitely will not be ample parking with a restaurant
there. The restaurant will not last.
Chair Ford closed the Public Comment, and explained both the Plan Commission and
ZBA are recommending bodies so it is possible the Commission and Board make
conflicting recommendations that move forward to the City Council
The Plan Commission entered Deliberation:
Mr. Belisle stated he had difficulty seeing how the second standard for rezoning was
met, given the more recent rezoning and that the proposed rezoning would break the
continuity. Mr Isaac responded that the property has been rezoned from a commercial
use, however, other properties have been recently rezoned after fairly recent broader
rezoning. He agreed that the proposed rezoning would break the continuity of zoning in
the area but that seems to speak more to the first standard for rezoning.
490 of 504
Page 7 of 9
Joint Plan Commission and Zoning Board of Appeals
Chair Ford stated that the proposal looks like spot zoning and agreed that there may be
an issue with the second standard.
Mr. Belisle stated that if the adjacent residents were property owners they would likely
have concerns about the restaurant use affected their property values, affecting the
third rezoning standard.
Mr. Lewis asked what could be built on the property given its zoning and current lot size
and Ms. Klotz explained since the property is already existing, a single family home is
permitted even though the minimum lot size is not met for the R3 District. The lot size
and building setbacks are legally-nonconforming.
Mr. Isaac asked if there is any permitted use in the R3 that the property can be used for
currently, and Ms.Klotz explained a single family residence is permitted but either
parking would have to be added or a parking variation granted. For other R3 uses it
would depend on the exact use and parking requirement, but yes some uses could
locate there.
Mr. Belisle asked what the basis for denying the previous attempt to rezone the property
was. Staff was unaware of precisely why the project was not approved outside of
ultimately not meeting the standards for approval.
Mr. Isaac asked if the lack of public alley adjacent to the build ing affects the property’s
ability to meet standard number four which speaks to adequacy of public facilities and
services. He stated that he believes that without the access to have trash picked up
from an alley and having additional trash generated from the restaurant that the fourth
standard may not be met.
Chair Ford inquired about the driveway on the adjacent property and if the possibility of
obtaining an easement to use that driveway had been pursued. Mr. Kats stated that he
looked into that but that discussions did not get very far.
Mr. Belisle motioned to recommend approval of the map amendment. With no second,
the motion died. Mr. Belisle motioned to recommend denial of the map amendment,
which was seconded by Ms. Dubin. A roll call vote was taken and the motion was
approved 5-0 to recommend denial to City Council.
Ayes: Belisle, Dubin, Ford, Isaac, Lewis
Nays: none.
ZBA Deliberation:
491 of 504
Page 8 of 9
Joint Plan Commission and Zoning Board of Appeals
Ms. Berns asked staff if the public notice is deficient with regard to the raised roof that is
not shown in the plans and therefore was not stated as a variation in the public
notice. Ms. Klotz responded staff is looking into the situation in conjunction with Law, so
for the time being the meeting should continue to move forward with the case.
Ms. McAuley noted there has been a lot of positive work along Simpson St. and plans
are to re-activate Simpson St. as a commercial corridor. However, this proposal does
not meet the Standards of upholding excellence in the community for a park-side
establishment. The proposal does not take into account the requests of the
neighborhood given the proximity to the neighborhood and details are not finalized.
Ms. Cullen agreed, noting the parkway is not adequate for commercial garbage pickup.
Without an alley, a restaurant is not appropriate at the property.
Ms. Dziekan stated there are too many unanswered details and inconsistencies.
Mr. Mirintchev agreed that not all details are set yet and noted the property is an
extremely challenging lot. The property is not conducive for a residential use, but the
proposal as presented is not adequate.
Ms. Arevalo agreed the proposal is not fully thought out since there were many
questions that were answered with “I don’t know” and “we’ll see”. The property is
appropriate for a restaurant but only if it is integrated into the community and the park
for the proper cohesion. That has not been planned or displayed to the community.
Ms. Berns stated she believes the proposal is appropriate. She understands that some
questions may not have specific answers at this point and that sometimes it is
appropriate to wait and see. It appears that a lack of sophistication in presentation hurt
the entire proposal. This proposal is extremely similar to the last request for a Type 2
Restaurant the ZBA reviewed for 2628 Gross Point Rd., where questions were raised
and the applicant responded that they would do what is best for the community. That
project was recommended for approval.

For City Council meeting of October 9, 2017 Item P6
Ordinance 93-O-17, Code Amendments to Design and Planning Review Board
For Action
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
Planning and Development Committee
From: Johanna Leonard, Director of Community Development
Scott Mangum, Planning and Zoning Administrator
Meagan Jones, Neighborhood and Land Use Planner
Subject: Ordinance 93-O-17
Amendments to DAPR Ordinance
Date: August 29, 2017
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends adoption of Ordinance 93-O-17, amending the Design and Project
Review (DAPR) portion of the City Code related to voting and advisory members and
the appeals process. Ordinance 93-O-17 was approved for introduction at the
September 25, 2017 City Council meeting.
Livability Benefits:
Equity and Empowerment: Provide for Meaningful Community Engagement
Summary:
In November of 2014, the City Council adopted various changes to the Site Plan and
Appearance Review (SPAARC) requirements of the City Code (Title 4, Chapter 14)
including renaming the process to Design and Project Review. DAPR review for any
exterior changes or proposed new buildings (excluding single-family and two-family
residences) remained a requirement, but the Ordinance was updated to more
accurately reflect the importance of design and aesthetics review during the approval
process. Some of the other changes included composition of the DAPR Committee into
voting and advisory members and staff comment forms implemented to ensure projects
meet all City requirements. In 2015, minor clean up revisions were made to the DAPR
Ordinance to accurately reference Design and Project Review throughout the City Code
in place of Site Plan and Appearance Review (Ordinance 66-O-15). Additionally,
clarification was made regarding projects requiring DAPR review and voting members of
the Committee. Also, in 2016 Ordinance 107-O-16 gave DAPR the authority to consider
sign appeals.
Proposal
Since the above referenced City Code updates occurred, the City undertook
restructuring of various departments and staff has identified several sections of the
Memorandum
494 of 504
DAPR Ordinance which do not reflect these changes and staff needed for review of
certain projects. Additionally, staff identified a section within the Ordinance which
provided an unclear appeals process and needed to be revised.
The proposed Ordinance clarifies the process for appeals of a DAPR Committee
decision and revises the voting and advisory members to both reflect the recent
restructuring and staff needed for review of various projects. Specifically, the following
updates will be made:
4-14-1-1. – Design and Project Review Committee.
(A) Membership. The membership of the Design and Project Review Committee is
composed of two (2) groups: (1) voting members; and (2) advisory members. Voting
members shall be the only class of members entitled to vote on any matter put
before the Design and Project Review Committee. Advisory members shall provide
the Design and Project Review Committee with insight related to their area of
expertise as the Committee as a whole discusses each matter. In the case of City
Staff, the named member may designate a department member to attend in his/her
stead. The following are the list of members:
Voting members:
1. Representative from City Manager's Office/Economic Development Division;
2. Director of Community Development;

For City Council of October 9, 2017 Item O1
Ordinance 85-O-17, Creation of Equity & Empowerment Commission
For Adoption
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
From: Dr. Patricia A. Efiom, Equity and Empowerment Coordinator
Subject: Ordinance, 85-O-17, Creation of Equity & Empowerment Commission
Date: September 26, 2017
Recommended Action:
Staff and Rules Committee recommend City Council adoption of Ordinance 85-O-17,
Amending Title 2, Chapter 12 of the Evanston City Code, which creates the Equity &
Empowerment Commission. Ordinance 85-O-17 was approved for introduction at the
September 25, 2017 City Council meeting.
Livability Benefits:
Equity & Empowerment: Provide for meaningful community engagement
Background:
In 2016, due to a lack of activity and consistent staff support, the Human Relations
Commission was consolidated with the Housing and Homelessness Commission. The
work of the Housing, Homelessness and Human Relations Commission is heavily
focused on Housing and Homelessness.
With the establishment of the office of Equity & Empowerment in February 2017, it was
determined that a commission dedicated solely to the work of Equity & Empowerment
was essential. Therefore, at the May 9, 2017 Housing, Homelessness and Human
Relations Commission meeting, members voted to support the disaggregation of the
Commission.
The City Council finds that creating an entity that proactively addresses issues of equity
and empowerment in the City of Evanston is a priority.
Title 2 of the Evanston City Code will be amended to add Chapter 12 – Equity and
Empowerment Commission.

AN ORDINANCE
Creating Title 2, Chapter 12 of the Evanston City Code Forming an
“Equity and Empowerment Commission”
NOW BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
EVANSTON, COOK COUNTY, ILLINOIS, THAT:
SECTION 1: Legislative Statement. This Ordinance creates a City of
Evanston Equity and Empowerment Commission whose primary function is to address
issues of access, equity, and empowerment within the City. Diversity and inclusion are
core values of the Evanston community. The City Council determines that it is in the
best interest of the City to create an Equity and Empowerment Commission to achieve
lasting change, leverage diversity, and actively practice inclusion.
Article VII, Section (6)a of the Illinois Constitution of 1970, which states that
the “powers and functions of home rule units shall be construed liberally,” was written
“with the intention that home rule units be given the broadest powers possible”
(Scadron v. City of Des Plaines, 153 Ill.2d 164). Pursuant to 65 ILCS 5/1-2-1, the City
may make all rules and regulations to carry into effect the powers granted to the City,
such broad and general grant of authority complementing the City’s home rule powers.
At meetings held in compliance with the provisions of the Illinois Open Meetings Act (5
ILCS 120/1 et seq.), the City Council considered this Ordinance, heard public
comment, and made findings. It is well-settled law in Illinois that the legislative
judgment of the City Council must be considered presumptively valid (see Glenview
State Bank v. Village of Deerfield, 213 Ill.App.3d 747(1991)) and is not subject to

courtroom fact-finding (see National Paint & Coating Ass’n v. City of Chicago, 45 F.3d
1124 (1995)).
The City Council finds that creating an entity that proactively addresses
issues of equity and empowerment in the City of Evanston is a priority. The City
Council desires to amend the City Code to create an Equity and Empowerment
Commission.
