The FY2012-2013 Budget maintains the Township’s mission in regard to the functions of
the Township Assessor’s office, Supervisor’s office and Township General Assistance

The projected end of the year fund balance from 2012 is $1,497,659.00. The proposed
tax levy is decreased by $100,000. The fund balance should maintain at least 6 months
operating reserve. The township is governed under tax caps and not home rule as the
City of Evanston. The reliance on the fund balance needed for operations and
maintaining no increase (or reduction) in the tax levy can be maintained in 2013 and

Township of Evanston, 2012-2013 Budget
Executive Summary
I. Introduction
The Town of the City of Evanston has coterminous boundaries with the City of Evanston.
Township government is one of the oldest forms of government in Illinois. Briefly
summarized, townships are responsible for three mandatory functions: a general
assistance program to qualifying residents, maintaining township road district highways
and bridges, and appraising property value in all counties other than Cook. Townships
also have a variety of statutory responsibilities which are somewhat lesser known, but
equally important. For example, they may provide senior services and youth programs.
Townships have been given various powers, which they may exercise depending upon
the local needs of their constituencies and the activism of the township officials. Each
township has the corporate capacity to exercise the powers granted to it, or necessary
implied, and no others. A Township may exercise only those powers conferred upon it
by statute. This limitation is called, “Dillon’s Rule” and affects all Illinois governments
except home rule municipalities and counties.
There are two elected officials for the Township of Evanston: The Township Supervisor
and the Township Assessor. Both positions are considered part-time. The Assessor has a
staff and office. The Township Supervisor supervises the general assistance office and is
the Treasurer for all funds received for the Township. Because of the coterminous nature
of the township and city, the Aldermen also serve in a dual capacity as Trustees for the
Township.
The statutes do not allow the city to administer the general assistance program.
II. Budget Summary
The total anticipated operating budget for FY2012-2013 for the Township of Evanston is
$1,645,406.00. This includes $1,279,353.00 from the General Assistance Fund and
$366,053.00 from the Town fund. The total amount being levied is $1,122,306.00.

III. Fiscal Constraints
Tax caps affect the township. Therefore, the amount of revenue received is the
Consumer Price Index or 5% (whichever is less). The Township has been able to
maintain a fund balance over the last three years that will allow the Township to use part
of its fund balance to support its activities, particularly the General Assistance Fund.
Therefore, no increase in the tax amounts for the Town or General Assistance Fund is
proposed. In fact, based on the anticipated fund balance, it is being proposed that the
levy be reduced $100,000 for the General Assistance Fund and $40,000 for the Town
Fund.
The law requires that all eligible General Assistance clients are serviced. A lack of funds
cannot be exercised to deny General Assistance. Since the only major source of funding
is property taxes, the Township General Assistance Fund must maintain a sufficient cash
fund balance.
IV. Funds
The township’s operating funds come from property taxes. The property taxes are
allocated to two funds: Town General Fund and General Assistance Fund. The total
property tax rate is about $.05 per $100.00 of equalized assessed value (approximately
.01 cents for the Town Fund and .04 cents for the General Assistance Fund. The tax
revenue is scheduled to be received twice a year. Each fund is a separate accounting
entity with a self-balancing set of accounts. The law allows for the transfer of funds from
the Town General Fund to the General Assistance fund, but does not allow the transfer of
funds from the General Assistance Fund to the Town General Fund.
The FY2012-2013 levied property tax revenue for the entire Township of Evanston is
projected to be $1,122,306.00. This represents $886,553.00 in projected tax revenue
from the General Assistance Fund and $235,743.00 in projected tax revenue from the
Town Fund.
V. Other Funds
In addition to the property taxes, the FY2012-2013 budget proposes the use of funds from
the following sources:
Interest- Interest earned on the interest bearing accounts
where the Township funds are deposited. This is
very limited amount due to low interests rates being
paid and delays in the receipt of tax income.
SSI Reimbursement- The Township General Assistance Office, according
to the law, can be reimbursed GA benefit funds that
were expended on a person found to be eligible for
21 of 657
9
SSI (with the exception of the costs related to
medical expenses).
Replacement Taxes: Replacement taxes are revenues collected by the
state of Illinois and paid to local governments to
replace money that was lost by local governments
when their powers to impose personal property
taxes on corporations, partnerships, and other
business entities were taken away.
Fund Balance Revenue Revenue restricted for use by each fund. General
Assistance Fund balance is restricted to allowable
General Assistance purposes.

THE GENERAL ASSISTANCE
PROGRAM BUDGET

THE GENERAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM
The administration of a program of General Assistance to persons in need is the major
function performed by the Township of Evanston. The Illinois statues (60 ILCS 1/70-60)
gives the sole authority in the area of General Assistance to the Supervisor. The statue
also gives the Supervisor the authority to operate an emergency assistance component
with the use of General Assistance funds.
The Township General Assistance Program is a financial aid program designed to meet
basic maintenance requirements for a livelihood compatible with health and well-being,
plus any necessary medical treatment, care and supplies required because of illness or
disability for which they is no other source to receive. The assistance is provided on a
monthly payment basis to or on behalf of eligible assistance units by the General
Assistance Office.
The client assistance level is set by the Supervisor per the statues. The budget for 2012-
2013 proposes a maximum of 100 clients per month. The maximum monthly grant rate is
not to exceed $500.00. This includes a maximum of $200.00 for rental assistance paid
directly to the property owner/designated agent and $300.00 in cash disbursements
($150.00 on the 1st and 16th of each month).
The General Assistance fund also has an allocation of $54,500.00 to assist eligible non-
GA recipients with the payment of utilities- water, electric and heating (gas, propane,
oil), delinquent mortgage and condo assessments in an emergency situation.
The 2012-2013 line item of $3,000.00 to be used to support a 50/50 Program aimed at
assisting with the placement of clients with “severe barriers” and training in a specialized
skill. It would assist with 50% of the starting wage up to a maximum of $1500.00 for
clients that are hired by an employer. This employment subsidy may be used for trial
employment.
In order to administer the General Assistance Program in Evanston Township, the
Supervisor has determined that the following staff is needed:
Executive Director
EAS/Case Manager
EAS Administrative Assistant
Confidential Accounts/Human Resources Manager
Case Coordinator/WOP Counselor
Office Manager
Part-time EAS Assistant
24 of 657
12
The staff is responsible for the administration of the General Assistance and Emergency
Assistance Program. The General Assistance Office Staff also handles the financials
related to client and bill payments of the Supervisor’s and Assessor’s Office.
WORK OPPORTUNITY PROGRAM
As part of General Assistance, townships are required to establish a community work
program. There are two options to the program: job training and workfare. Clients who
are not on GA because of medical inability to work must participate in either a direct
worksite placement are be involved in “job club”. The clients in job club are required to
attend a two-hour session on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. Those in job club are
viewed as more “job ready”. Some clients who have minimum skills and are in need of
“on-the job training” are placed on worksites to enhance their work skills. There are
others who cannot reasonably be expected to obtain a job. In the workfare program, they
participate in tasks that are designed to benefit the community.
PARTNERSHIP AND CONTRACTUAL SERVICES
The General Assistance Office establishes working arrangements with the Evanston One
Stop and other not for profit organizations to better assist clients with counseling,
employment and training opportunities. A Community Purchase of Service Agreement in
conjunction with the City of Evanston Mental Health Board with PEER Services is
maintained during the 2012-2013 fiscal year.
Many of the clients are also in need of remedial education. Oakton Community has been
a continued partner in this endeavor.
MEDICAL PAYMENT SYSTEMS:
The General Assistance guidelines require the provision of “necessary” medical services
as defined by the Illinois Department of Public Aid. If there are no other sources to
provide the necessary services then the Township is responsible for making payment.
The township reimburses the provider at the Public Aid rate. Currently the township also
provides for some services that IDHS does not provide. The Township also has the
responsibility to assist with needed medical supplies for the “necessary” medical
treatment.
In addition, the monitoring of the provision of medical services is closely examined with
ways of cutting costs. Ensuring that clients receive quality services is a constant priority.
The Township General Assistance Office has opted to participate in a catastrophic
insurance program to eliminate possible financial hardship related to the payment of
medical bills.

EMERGENCY ASSISTANCE PROGRAM:
Emergency Assistance Services are provided to non-eligible General Assistance clients
who meet the established criteria for the services. The services include payment of
delinquent rent, mortgage and assessments, utility payments and emergency food
vouchers.

ASSESSOR’S BUDGET
THE ASSESSOR’S OFFICE
The Evanston Township Assessor’s office works as an adjunct to the Cook County Assessor, whose
stated mission is “to serve the public professionally and responsibly by establishing fair and
accurate assessments, seeking equitable tax policies and communicating this information simply and
understandably.”
Specifically, the mission is to serve Evanston Township taxpayers by assisting them in securing exemptions,
preparing and filing assessment appeals, correcting property description errors, researching all available
information pertinent to their properties.
Our goal is to educate taxpayers about all aspects of Cook County’s unique property tax system and its
procedures. Illinois state laws mandate that each of Cook County’s 30 suburban Township Assessors
maintain up-to-date records of all sales transfers, building permits, and other changes and factors that
could affect the Market Valuation of each property.
The City of Evanston issues building permits to build, renovate or improve properties. Our office records
the specifics of the permits and forwards them to the Cook County Assessor.
The City of Evanston also issues Sales Transfer Declarations which indicate the sales prices of properties.
The originals are first sent to the Cook County Recorder of Deeds and then are returned to the Evanston
Township Assessor for inclusion in the computer database and files in the local office.

THE TOWNSHIP SUPERVISOR’S OFFICE
The Supervisor is the chief executive officer of the Township. The Supervisor serves as
supervisor of General Assistance. The Supervisor has numerous financial reporting
responsibilities, and is also the treasurer of all Township funds. The Supervisor receives
and pays out all moneys raised in the Township. The Supervisor must keep a just and
true account of the receipts and expenditures of all moneys that come into the
Supervisor’s possession by virtue of the office.
The budget for the Supervisor’s office comes from the Town Fund. The Supervisor’s
budget includes two major line items: An accountant and auditor. Also, all of the
Township membership dues, educational conferences, meetings and salary for the
Supervisor are included in this budget.
Neither the Supervisor’s Office nor the Township employs any staff. The staff
supervised by the Supervisor is employed by the General Assistance Program and funded
from the General Assistance Fund.
The Supervisor also currently oversees the direction of the community action activities
funded by the Township as well as the Community Purchase of Services Agreements in
an agreement with the City of Evanston. The Township budget has a proposed amount
of $45,650.00 for community action initiative and $86,600.00 for Community Purchase
of Service Agreements from local not-for profit organizations.

Junad Rizki, 2269 Sheridan, wanted to know if the handicap accessibility had been
resolved at the Service Center. He believes the $28,000 compensation study is a waste
of money, and the TIF is really a scheme to take money from another source to finance
a different project.
Dickelle Fonda, 1220 Darrow, spoke on the TIFF and wanting to have the voice of the
West Village Business Association as well as the residents surrounding the area. She
stated the support of the efforts to turn the plaza around. Also she stated the plaza
should represent the character of the neighborhood.
John Bushnell, 1805 Crain St., spoke of his concerns of the TIFF and his agreement
of the statements of the previous speaker. He also stated that Dempster/Dodge is one
of the busiest intersections in the City and should not be blight on the City.
Kevin O’Connor, 1227 ½ Isabella, wanted to see a forensic audit separate from the
City’s audit of the Township. He spoke of the TIFF and why the City is involved in
privatizing profit and socializing risks. He believes the TIFF is a very bad move on the
part of the Council.
Nikola Larbalestic, 2627 Lincolnwood Dr., stated he would like the neighbors to like
his family as they too like the neighbors and to keep their home off the market.
Eric Libberman, 749 Dewey has been an Attorney for 30 years and asked that the
TIFF negotiations be disclosed, as well as stating the developer is wealthy and
prosperous with other developments and they do not need a tax increment for the
Dempster/Dodge project.
Eric M. Poders, 7940 Forest, spoke of his experience at the Lighthouse Beach this
morning as he was rudely asked to leave the beach for lack of payment, and he wanted
to receive a public apology as well as a written statement from the legal department.
Padma Rao, 2246 Sherman, she again spoke of the Kendall project and how the
Mayor cut off the mikes during their last session. Mayor Tisdahl interrupted to remind
Ms. Rao the Kendall matter was closed. Ms. Rao disagreed and continued to speak on
the matter as well as speaking against the 1st ward Alderman and the City Attorney’s
involvement in Township matters.
B.K. Rao, 2246 Sherman, she spoke of the Kendall project and the 1st ward Alderman’s
closed door negotiations with the development. Mayor Tisdahl spoke to the citizen that
the matters were closed, but B.K. Rao continued to speak.

Ald. Holmes asked about the large difference between percentages paid to the

(A3.6) Approval of Renewal of Library Reference Database License with
Gale/Cengage Learning
Staff recommends that City Council authorize the City Manager to renew
the annual sole source software license with Gale/Cengage Learning
(27500 Drake Road, Farmington Hills, MI) for Library reference database
services in the amount of $21,000 for the eleven month period ending April
30, 2013. Funding is provided by the Library Adult Services – Internet
Solution Providers Account 4806.62341.
Ald. Rainey asked why this was an eleven month contract as she recalls the
Library Board is to take over the responsibility for their funding. She asked if the
City was going to pick-up some of the costs. Karen Danczak Lyons (Library
Director) replied that every bill and renewal is being analyzed towards this
change. Some renewals for a year gave a better price as is the case with this
contract. Ald. Rainey stated that she liked the product but she does not like the
way the renewal is being done. Is the City going to cover three or five-year
contracts that come up she asked. Where is the line drawn. This addresses the
issue of the division of funds. Marty Lyons (Assistant City Manager/CFO) said it
was his understanding that this is a contract going forward eleven months. There
will be a pro-rata of the tax levy, which will be seen in the financial reports. Ald.
Rainey than asked why the library expenses are listed through out the bills list.
She concluded that the City needs to segregate these expenditures. M. Lyons
said that he would see to it.
A voice vote was taken and A3.6 was unanimously approved.
(A4) Resolution 37-R-12 Authorizing the City of Evanston to Enter Into An
Agreement with the Cook County Assessor’s Office for Access to a
Geographic Information System
Staff recommends that the City Council authorize the City Manager to sign
an agreement with the Cook County Assessor’s Office for access to GIS
(Geographic Information System) data.
Ald. Holmes asked why the City needs to do this. Ald. Rainey said that she
would like to clarify this item. It has been an ongoing item for many years. It is
an expenditure for our use of the GIS system that you can only look at internally.
The Cook County Assessor requires it. It shows detailed tax information. I feel
that there is a lot of garbage in it and the information is not always current. But,
the up to date information is very valuable. Ald. Holmes, who has frequently
used the program, having seen the reference to the Deputy Assessor believed
that the Township Assessor’s office was involved. The confusion was cleared up
and the question withdrawn.
A voice vote was taken and A4 was unanimously approved.
(A5) Resolution 41-R-12 Authorizing Lease Agreements with the United States
Postal Service (USPS) for Vehicle Parking
The Transportation/Parking Committee and staff recommend that the City
Council approve Resolution 41-R-12 authorizing the City Manager to enter
into lease agreements with the US Postal Service for the parking of Postal
Service Vehicles in Lot 25 (1612-1616 Maple Avenue) and the Maple Avenue
Self Park (1800 Maple Avenue).

Staff recommends the City Council approve Ordinance 45-O-12 authorizing

owned by the City through public auction. The vehicles and equipment are
either presently out of service or will be, and are assigned to various

Women Voters of Evanston
Staff recommends City Council approval of Ordinance 54-O-12 authorizing
the City Manager to negotiate and execute the lease agreement with the

A voice vote was taken and A9 was unanimously approved.
(A10) Ordinance 59-O-12, Increasing the Number of Class S Liquor Licenses to
Permit Issuance to Ward Eight, LLC
` The Local Liquor Commissioner recommends adoption of Ordinance 59-O-
12, which increases the number of Class S liquor licenses from 0 to 1 to
permit issuance to Ward Eight, LLC, 629 Howard Street.
Ald. Rainey noted that the owners of Ward Eight were here tonight. One of the
things she wanted to ask for is the Council to suspend the rules and allow for
the Introduction and Action this night. She had thought this request would be
before the Liquor Commissioner a few weeks ago. There is no way to know
how long the State will take to issue a license. As soon as the Mayor signs the
ordinance, the owners can apply for the license. Their business depends on the
earliest resolution.
A voice vote was taken and A10 was unanimously approved allowing for a
suspension of rules to allow Introduction and Action on May 29, 2012.

Administration and Public Works
Paul Zalmezak (Economic Development Coordinator) presented a brief introduction of
the proposed Dempster/Dodge TIF redevelopment project. He introduced Scott
Inbinder – Vice President, Bonnie Management, Robert Rychlicki – Executive VP, Kane
McKenna & Associates and Nicholas Greifer – Vice President, Kane McKenna &
Associates. He mentioned that at the May 14 City Council meeting, the members had
several questions that he hoped would be answered tonight. The Economic
Development Department is asking for a suspension of rules on these three ordinances
as approval before June 1, 2012 will give the City an additional three million dollars.
Property Owner Vice President, Scott Inbinder took the floor:
Ald. Rainey asked what plans he had for the property. S. Inbinder said that when the
property was bought, the plans included up-grades to make it a more vibrant location.
Tenants that fit are few and far between. Our efforts, he said, have been to upgrade for
new tenants. Ald. Rainey recognized that he could not say who might come in but she
asked, what standards do you have. Are you looking for big tenants, little tenants to fit
existing spaces. Do you have a particular kind of tenant or are you looking for a mix. S.
Inbinder replied that the market dictates the tenants open to the neighborhood and to
each other. We are looking at all possible tenants he said. Big stores have many
requirements from proximity to other stores to the size of the property. We look to large
tenants first and then to the smaller ones. Ald. Rainey asked how he would describe
this market. S. Inbinder noted that a lot of national tenants have looked at the property
and characterized it as not being a regional location. Downtown Evanston and Old
Orchard are such, with more traffic and a bigger flow of customers. This center has a
more neighborhood feeling, which attracts a different type of tenant. Tenants want to be
with other tenants that compliment them. Ald. Rainey wondered if he saw that as the
difference with the Howard/Hartrey development. S. Inbinder said yes, they are two
different types. Ald. Braithwaite asked him to share his short term plans to improve the
property. S. Inbinder replied that at this time, landscaping, painting, cleaning and
deferred maintenance is being done. They have to be careful how far they go as
tenants have certain requests about what they want. We do not want to have to redo
anything. Ald. Holmes asked if he was open to new ventures such as a bowling alley.
S. Inbinder said absolutely, we are open to all things. But, other tenants have some
control. Dominick’s has restrictions in their lease about what can and cannot be in the
mall. A bowling alley is a no-go due to their concerns about parking availability. We
have engaged them in a conversation on this very subject. Ald. Braithwaite mentioned
that he has had discussion with Mr. Inbinder and actually had left a message for
Dominick’s this very day. Ald. Burrus opened her remarks with stating she is against
this area becoming a TIF project. She thanked Bonnie Management for buying the
property. She said she agrees that the market will decide what tenants come in. TIF
will not be much help in those decisions. She continued, if TIF offers incentives to
tenants, what do you think they would be. S, Inbinder said that some tenants could not
afford to build out a space, so TIF could help. If I did it, we would have to raise the rent
and that would get us a different tenant. Ald. Burrus reiterated that to use tax payer
dollars to build out space could also lower the rent. S. Inbinder stated that old tenants
might want a new façade to update their look, this could be a use of TIF funds. Ald.
Burrus said that the City has a facade program in place. S. Inbinder said there is a
problem with the stores on the corner of the lot. They are referred to as Out-lot
Buildings. They tend to block the back of the mall and so tenants do not desire those
parcels. Out-lot buildings could be torn down and placed elsewhere but the tenants
would not pay for this. Ald. Rainey recalled how she had defended Dominick’s when it
first came in. She thought it was now time for them to change their stance. Ald.
Braithwaite and I, she said, had met with a potential tenant and it was a question of the
67 of 657
Page 6 of 8
Administration and Public Works
out-lot building blocking the view of the back center of the plaza which not surprisingly is
vacant now. The tear down would be a typical expense for TIF monies. Those costs
are very high. Ald. Burrus said she did not believe that this meets the criteria of a TIF.
She continued, I have not seen any plans so far. This should be just a new owner who
markets it, etc. What would the City be giving this parcel for 23 years. P. Zalmezak
said it might be 23 million over the 23 years. Ald. Burrus restated this, one million per
year for this parcel. P. Zalmezak agreed that the TIF increment could generate one
million per year. Staff can use funds for TIF eligible expenses. Ald. Burrus replied, I
cannot imagine, we should not be imagining , that this much of money would be for one
parcel. Ald. Rainey said the good thing is you cannot spend it if you do not generate the
increments. Howard/Hartrey is an example of how a TIF can be successful. Ald.
Burrus reminded all that the shopping mall was not there at Howard/Hartrey but built
after the TIF was started. Ald. Braithwaite thanked Ald. Rainey for the input. He then
said that he had been reading about the soil at Dempster/Dodge and wanted to know
about the soil remediation. Especially he said, if they have to dig down for new
tenants. P. Zalmezak related that he understood that the digging could mean serious
environmental remediation. There would be a significant cost for what you would expect
in the market place. It would be a TIF eligible expense.. Ald. Burrus thanked Mr.
Inbinder for his time.
(A11) Ordinance 55-O-12 Approving a Tax Increment Redevelopment Plan and
Redevelopment Project for the Dempster/Dodge Redevelopment Area
Staff recommends City Council adoption of Ordinance 55-O-12. Suspension
of the Rules is requested to allow Introduction and Action on May 29, 2012
to implement the TIF under the 2010 assessed values.
Ald. Rainey suggested that the members approve the request for a suspension of
rules for all three ordinances and say no on an item if they so desire. Ald. Burrus
thought they should not make these ordinances special. Ald. Braithwaite asked
about the significance of missing the June 1 deadline. P. Zalmezak stated that if
the deadline is missed the City could anticipate a three million dollar loss. This is
a projected number he said. Ald. Burrus noted that the figure could be less.
A voice vote was taken and A11 was approved 3 – 1, Ald. Burrus voting “no.”
(A12) Ordinance 56-O-12 Designating the Dempster/Dodge Redevelopment
Project Area (“TIF District”) of the City of Evanston a Redevelopment
Project Area Pursuant to the Tax Increment Allocation Redevelopment Act
Staff recommends City Council adoption of Ordinance 56-O-12. Suspension
of the Rules is requested to allow Introduction and Action on May 29, 2012
to implement the TIF under the 2010 assessed values.
A voice vote was taken and A12 was approved 3 – 1, Ald. Burrus voting “no.”
(A13) Ordinance 57-O-12 Adopting Tax Increment Allocation Financing for
the Dempster/Dodge Redevelopment Project Area
Staff recommends City Council adoption of Ordinance 57-O-12. Suspension
of the Rules is requested to allow Introduction and Action on May 29, 2012
to implement the TIF under the 2010 assessed values.

IV. ITEMS FOR DISCUSSION
Ald. Burrus called upon resident Eric Poders, 7940 Foster Street, Morton Grove,
who asked to address the members concerning an incident at an Evanston
beach. He started by saying that he loved Evanston and has been going to the
beaches for at least 25 years. He felt he had to relate an incident that
happened just this morning. He always purchases a non-resident beach token.
He did not realize that the opening day had been moved up. This morning he got
up early and got to the beach by 10 a.m. At 10:30, a staff member asked him if
he had a beach token and was told if not, since it was after 10:30, to stay he
would have to pay $8.00. To follow-up, he was put in contact with Paul
D’Agostino of Parks and Forestry who listened and said he would call back. The
return call was to say that without a token or paying the $8.00, he would have to
leave. Mr. Poders than went to the Civic Center and Bob Dorneker the
Superintendent of Recreation, gave him a copy of Ordinance 7-O-3 governing
the admission to Evanston beaches. He then proceeded to look up the word
“admissions” in both the English language and American language dictionaries.
The general definitions he said seem to be the “act of processing admission,”
“granting of a position” and “the process of entering or being allowed to enter.”
He closed by asking for some answers to this and said that he would be
speaking out at the full Council meeting later this evening. Ald. Burrus said that
Mr. Grant Farrar, the City Attorney, would get a response to him.
(APW1) Discussion of Revision to the City's Banner Policy
Suzette Robinson (Director Public Works) opened this discussion saying that a
year ago, a policy was presented on the use of light poles. More information was
requested. Her Department wanted to recoup costs of installation and removal of
banners and so, a policy was prepared. It takes she, estimated, 45 to 60 minutes
to install ten banners plus personnel and equipment. Ald. Burrus asked how
much brackets cost and S. Robinson said she would get those costs to her. She
continued saying the City wants a policy for all of the City except downtown,
which will be administered by Downtown Evanston. It was thought at the time
that less money should be asked for than what was presented. Ald. Burrus
asked to be reminded when she ever made such a statement. Ald. Holmes said
she was the one who made the statement because of the lack of funds in the
neighborhoods. Ald. Burrus asked if true, the City is not covering its costs and S.
Robinson replied, right. Ald. Burrus asked if businesses and not-for-profits paid
the same. S. Robinson said that is correct with businesses paying an additional
$5.00 per banner. Ald. Burrus suggested that these prices are the cheapest
advertising cost around. Ald. Rainey asked under what circumstances this would
be allowed. How would a hospital celebrating 200 years be categorized. S.
Robinson responded that if a store wants to hang a banner they would pay more.
The business districts also get dollars from Economic Development to buy
banners. Ald. Burrus asked who decides if there is competition for poles and
dates. S. Robinson stated that the policy is first come first served. Ald. Burrus
suggested that the City paying for insurance, brackets and labor stands to lose
upward of $75.00 for each time a banner goes up. She said she was bewildered
that this is the best the City can do. We need to support non-profits but why
support businesses. These lost costs could cover the planting of a tree. S.
Robinson said that they had a more aggressive plan and were asked to go back
to the drawing board. Wally Bobkiewicz (City manager) said the City shares the

committee’s frustration. It is a poorly implemented and managed policy.
Community standards have changed. We will take this back and give it more
work. Ald. Rainey asked to be told something good about the banner policy.
What is the advantage she asked. W. Bobkiewicz suggested that Ward or
neighborhood delineation of an area was good. It is good for business
associations, and the third category such as YOU or the YMCA or school
celebrations. Ms. Robinson and her staff tried to get this all together but you
have shown your interest in further discussion he concluded. Ald. Rainey
thought a new policy for anniversaries only might be considered.
It is too expensive to maintain. And she noted some banners are up until they are
shredded. That does not look good she added. Ald. Holmes remarked that there
were City banners before she became an Alderman. They helped to show the
residents the size of their ward. CDBG paid to buy the banners. Actually, the
Ward would prefer signs instead of banners but that is another question. W.
Bobkiewicz reiterated Ald. Rainey’s suggestion that the policy be for
anniversaries only. He said a new policy will be brought back. Ald. Burrus said
that it must be open to discussion. W. Bobkiewicz said they would focus on non-
profits and special events.

Administration and Public Works Committee
From: Douglas J. Gaynor, Director of Parks, Recreation & Community Services
Paul D’Agostino, Superintendent of Parks, Forestry & Facilities
Stefanie Levine, Assistant Superintendent of Parks, Forestry & Facilities
Rickey Voss, Parking/Revenue Division Manager, Administrative Services
Subject: Contract Award Recommendation for the 2012 Sherman Garage Light
Pole Project, Bid #12-129
Date: June 11, 2012
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends that the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute a
contract with Jasco Electric Corporation (2750 Barney Court, McHenry, IL) for the 2012
Sherman Plaza Garage Light Pole Project in the amount of $56,720.
Funding Source:
CIP Account # 416138: $800,000 (funded through the Parking Fund)
Summary:
This contract is for installation of new light poles and fixtures at the top Level of
Sherman Plaza Self-Park located at 821 Davis Street. These new poles will replace
those that were recently removed due to damage from excessive winds in late October
of 2011.
The project was publicly advertised for bid on May 3, 2012. Bids to perform this work
were opened and publicly read on May 29, 2012. A total of one bid was received as
follows:
Contractor Address Base Bid
Jasco Electric Corporation 2750 Barney Court, McHenry $56,720
After the bids were opened and publicly read, staff contacted some contractors to find
out why they decided not to bid. Some contractors indicated they felt that could not be
Memorandum

competitive due to the specialized type of electrical work required. One contractor
indicated they were interested but could not meet the City’s insurance/bonding
requirements. Please note however that the single bid received was within the project
budget and was below the consultant’s estimate of $62,000. Staff therefore feels that
the bid is in the right price range and recommends approval of the project to Jasco
Electric Corporation for the lump sum amount of $56,720. Jasco is in compliance with
the City’s M/W/EBE goals (please see attached memorandum for additional
information). Staff has worked with Jasco on similar past projects where they have
successfully installed light poles in various City parks.

GASB 45 Other Post Employment Benefits Report
Accept and Place on File
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
Administration and Public Works Committee
From: Martin Lyons, Assistant City Manager/Chief Financial Officer
Subject: December 31, 2011 GASB 45 Other Post Employment Benefits (OPEB)
Date: June 11, 2012
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends City Council accept and place the December 31, 2011 GASB 45
Other Post Employment Benefits (OPEB) Report on file.
As a part of the Annual Financial Report, the City is required to provide an evaluation of
the total liability of all other post employment benefits (OPEB). The attached report
from MWM Consulting Group provides a detailed analysis of the City’s total liability,
which is approximately $17M as of December 31, 2011. Staff recommends this report
be accepted and placed on file for use in the FY 2011 Annual Financial Report.
Funding Source:
N/A
Summary:
The Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement 45 (GASB 45) requires
public employers to disclose the total liability associated with other (non-pension) post
employment benefits such as retiree health insurance. Unlike the City’s pension benefit
disclosures, GASB 45 does not require the public employer to fund these liabilities, just
disclose them.
During the past year, the GASB 45 liability has risen significantly due in large part to the
Public Safety Employees Benefits Act (“PSEBA”) (820 ILCS 321/1 et seq.). Under
PSEBA, firefighters/police officers are entitled to a continuation of their health insurance
coverage; including the payment of premiums, after suffering a catastrophic injury while
responding to an emergency. Presently, the City has 19 Police / Fire personnel on
PSEBA benefits. Of these, 13 have family benefits and these benefits must be provided
to all family members (until age 26 for children).

Difference in Unfunded Actuarial Liability $ 640,747 $ 3,950,928 $ (140,990) $ 284,511 $ 4,735,196
Percent Difference 16.1% 83.1% -4.7% 58.2% 38.6%
Comparison with Prior Fiscal Year
As the table above indicates, the City’s Unfunded Actuarial Liability increased by
approximately $4.7M during the period from March 1, 2010, through December 31,
2011. It should be noted, even without the addition of new Public Safety Employees
Benefits Act (PSEBA) cases, the City’s GASB 45 liability will increase due to medical
costs with an inflation factor of approximately 8.5%.
Per the Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement 45 (GASB 45), the City
is not required to make any contributions to offset this liability. Due to the fact the City
charges retirees 100% of the allowed premium for health care costs, the implicit liability
is very low on a per employee basis. Unfortunately, PSEBA costs are deemed explicit
subsidies to the plan even though the City is required by statute to make these
payments. City staff continues to evaluate the possibility of funding the PSEBA
payments, since these payments do represent an actual cost in the Insurance Fund
each year. Beginning in FY 2013, $42,410 will be shown as a projected expense in the
Police Department and $243,185 will be shown as a projected expense in the Fire
Department for PSEBA payments.
City staff will continue to review health care plan design options that reduce exposure to
this liability. However, as long as the City is required to maintain retirees on the health
plan, the options are somewhat limited.

Resolution 25-R-12: Approving Release of Closed Session Minutes
For Action
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
Administration and Public Works Committee
From: W. Grant Farrar, Corporation Counsel
Subject: Resolution 25-R-12; Approving Release of certain Closed Session
Minutes
Date: June 4, 2012
Recommended Action:
Adopt the attached resolution releasing the closed session meeting minutes listed on
Exhibit A and finding that a need still exists for confidentiality as to the minutes on
Exhibit B. The City is furthering its efforts to provide access to information and
openness in government through the appropriate release of closed session minutes of
the City Council.
Summary:
The Open Meetings Act, 5 ILCS 120/1, et seq., provides for specific exceptions to the
general requirement of the Act that all meetings of public bodies be open, all actions of
public bodies be taken openly, and all deliberations of public bodies be conducted
openly (5 ILCS 120/1). Section 2.06 of the Open Meetings Act requires the City Council
to meet semi-annually to determine whether the need for confidentiality still exists as to
closed session minutes.
The schedule of closed session minutes on Exhibit A, in whole or in part, no longer
necessitates confidential treatment and should be made available for public inspection
and review. The schedule of closed session minutes on Exhibit B still requires
confidentiality for a variety of reasons provided for within the Open Meetings Act
exceptions, 5 ILCS 120/2, including matters of personnel, real estate acquisitions and/or
sale negotiations, pending litigation matters, and other applicable exceptions.

For City Council meeting of June 11, 2012 Item A6
Resolution 38-R-12: Acquisition of Property Located at 1801-05 Church Street
For Action
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
Administration and Public Works Committee
From: Steve Griffin, Director Community and Economic Development
Nancy Radzevich, Economic Development Division Manager
Paul Zalmezak, Economic Development Coordinator
Subject: Approval of Resolution 38-R-12 to Authorize the City Manager to
Negotiate and Execute a Contract for the Acquisition of Real Property
Located at 1801-05 Church Street
Date: May 30, 2012
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends the approval of Resolution 38-R-12 authorizing the City Manager to
negotiate the acquisition of the real property at 1801-05 Church Street through
condemnation or other means. Staff recommends adoption of this resolution in order to
provide the City with as many options to acquire the property, including eminent
domain, as possible, and out of a desire to limit the City's liability for environmental
remediation issues.
Funding Source
Staff recommends using an amount not to exceed $150,000 from the West Evanston
TIF for this property acquisition. The approved FY 2012 budget includes $1.2 million for
general economic development projects in the West Evanston TIF (Account 5870.62605
“West Evanston TIF – Other Charges”). For FY2012, $1,690,000 was budgeted by City
Council, of which $31,781 has been expended.
Background
The 11,000 +/- sq. ft vacant site, formerly a gas and service station, is owned by Daniel
Cheifetz through E Town Community Ventures, a subsidiary of Ariella Reinvestment
Trust. This site has been vacant since the late 1990s and abuts the two recently vacant
city-owned properties at 1708-1710 Darrow.
City acquisition of this property was first considered by staff when it was discovered that
Phoenix Bond & Indemnity had purchased unpaid back taxes from 2007. As one of the
critical “book end” parcels to the Church Street corridor, staff engaged the current
property owner in conversation to understand status of the property and his intent to
pursue development. Based on his inability to pursue development options, staff
began investigating the merits of acquisition.
Memorandum
136 of 657
Page 2 of 4
Acquisition of 1801 Church Street to encourage redevelopment will help catalyze
additional market-driven economic development activity in the Church/Dodge area in
the immediate to near term. This area has been particularly impacted by the economic
downturn, with redevelopment slowed by limited interest from the private sector.
Over the last several months, staff has: 1) researched property ownership; 2) clarified
any organizational connections between the development entity that owns this and
related properties along the Church Street corridor; 3) investigated information on the
overdue back taxes and tax buyer(s), any existing judgments, and related “title”
research; 4) secured an appraisal, and 5) contracted environmental consulting services.
Summary
Adoption of this resolution provides the City with as many options to acquire the
property as possible, including eminent domain and importantly, limits the City's liability
for environmental remediation issues by providing the City complete immunity under the
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (“CERCLA”).
In essence, it is designed to protect the City from future claims related to environmental
contamination.
Adoption of this resolution would not in any way preclude negotiations with the owner. It
does not oblige the City to acquire the property through eminent domain nor is it staff’s
recommended course of action at this time. Good faith negotiations are required as part
of eminent domain proceedings in Illinois, and authorized by Section 4 of the resolution.
Due Diligence
Because the prior use of the now vacant site was a former gas and service station, staff
solicited bids for an updated Phase I and Phase II environmental site assessment. This
was required before the City could consider making an offer on the site. The Phase I
and II assessments were completed March 6, 2012. As a result of the Phase I/II
assessment, the consultant completed further investigation and determined that four
underground storage tanks (UST) exist on the site (see UST Location map attached).
Staff met with the consultant to obtain a quote for remediating the site. The consultant
provided two remediation options. The first option (proposal attached) costs $75,100
and includes removing the tanks with limited localized soil remediation, backfilling the
voids created by the tank removal, all state required monitoring and reporting, and
obtaining a final No Further Remediation (NFR) letter that allows surface capping (i.e.
parking lot, on-grade concrete slab, clay base for parkland, or other engineered barrier).
This level of remediation is the industry standard for similarly sited former gas station
property.
From an IEPA perspective, the above proposed remediation method would allow for
uses that range from parking facility with “pocket park” to various types of commercial
and residential development, as long as the foundation is concrete slab on grade. The
alternative approach, necessary only to excavate a basement, would involve deep
excavation, removal and replacement of soil. Given the significant cost, this level of
remediation could only be financially feasibility (i.e. a developer could only justify the
ROI/“Return-On-Investment”) if the site were to be redeveloped with a dense, multi-
137 of 657
Page 3 of 4
story large scale development. Given the current market conditions and existing
adjacent development patterns, it is highly unlikely this level of development would be
accommodated on this site in foreseeable future.
The most recent appraisal, completed February 24, 2012, values the property at
$340,000 ($1,307,692/acre or $30/sq. ft.) subject to “discount” for the cost of any
necessary remediation including storage tank removal. Mr. Cheifetz paid $95,000 for
the property on March 26, 2002 according to the Cook County Recorder of Deeds and
owes back taxes.
Phoenix Bond & Indemnity purchased 2007 back taxes on the property totaling
$7,567.06; with subsequent taxes, penalties and fees, however, Mr. Cheifetz would be
required to pay $45,527.94 to clear this from the title. Phoenix Bond & Indemnity has
filed a petition for deed and has a court date scheduled July 25, 2012. If Mr. Cheifetz
has not redeemed the taxes prior to the court date, the property will transfer to Phoenix
Bond & Indemnity.
Based on a $127,000 purchase price the total acquisition cost including the incurred
costs for appraisals, environmental studies, and the future remediation under Option 1
is $217,265. This is significantly less than the current appraised value of $340,000.

Maximum Offer Price $127,000

Subtotal $202,100
Total $217,265
Recommendation
Staff recommends City Council authorize the City Manager to negotiate the acquisition
of 1801 Church Street through condemnation or other means. Staff believes the timing
is right, particularly given current property values and weak real estate development
market.
Although there has been some suggestion that parking is needed in this area, staff will
work with the Ward 5 Alderman to develop a community process for planning and
implementing a short-term interim and longer term use. Acquisition of the property will
likely lead to a greater overall redevelopment opportunity along this block, especially
when assembled with the adjacent city-owned 1708-1710 Darrow properties. The
138 of 657
Page 4 of 4
assembled properties would total 16,800 sq ft in size (0.4 acres) for a stronger gateway
development opportunity – building off of the synergy with the Strange Lofts
development to the east, and the redevelopment of 1817 Church Street and 1911-17
Church Street properties to the west.

the proposed FY 2012 Budget Amendment is provided below:
• General Fund – The proposed FY 2012 Budget Amendment would increase
General Fund expenditures by $1,750,000. The General Fund transfer is
Memorandum
145 of 657
proposed for $1,250,000 to the Capital Improvement Fund (CIF) and the
remaining $500,000 to the Equipment Replacement Fund.
• Economic Development Fund – As part of the FY 2012 CIP Amendment, staff
proposes increasing the Economic Development Fund budget by $110,000 to
fund the Central Street Sidewalk Project.
• Washington National TIF Fund – On February 27, 2012, the City Council
approved modifications to the FY 2012 Street Resurfacing and Brick Sidewalk
Replacement projects. As part of this item, the budgeted amounts of $230,000
for the Davis Street Sidewalk (Hinman to Orrington) and $500,000 for the Viaduct
Improvements on Davis Street were deferred until 2013. The Orrington Avenue
(Davis to Church) project, totaling $440,000, was approved as a replacement for
the deferred projects. The proposed FY 2012 CIP amendment also includes the
addition of $60,000 for the Pedestrian Lighting project. The remaining $230,000
budgeted for capital projects in the Washington National TIF Fund are proposed
for economic development projects. Finally, the proposed CIP amendment
includes $425,000 in additional carryover funds, which were originally budgeted
in FY 2011, for the Comprehensive Parking Garage Repair Project and $175,000
for the Street Furniture Package.
• Southwest II (Howard-Hartrey) TIF Fund – The proposed FY 2012 Budget
Amendment would increase the Southwest II (Howard-Hartrey) TIF Fund
expenditures by $2,800,000. $1.3M of this amendment provides for the surplus
distribution from Howard-Hartrey to all taxing bodies. The surplus distribution
resolution will be provided to the City Council at the May 29, 2012 meeting.
In addition, as part of public infrastructure improvements for the Howard-Hartrey
TIF Fund (Southwest II TIF), the following projects, totaling $1.5M are proposed:

bus shelter - $350,000
• Howard-Ridge TIF Fund – As part of the FY 2012 CIP amendment, staff
proposes revising the capital projects to be completed with funding from the
Howard-Ridge TIF. The adopted FY 2012 CIP included $430,000 for economic
development projects in the Howard-Ridge TIF. The proposed amendment
would replace this item with the project “CIP Improvements on City Owned
Buildings” in the amount of $900,000 for an amended increase of $470,000.
146 of 657
• Capital Improvement Fund – On March 19, 2012, the City Council approved
additional modifications to the 2012 Street Resurfacing and Street Light Power

would increase expenditures for the Equipment Replacement Fund by
$1,100,000 for additional vehicle purchases. This item will be partially funded by

Memorandum
165 of 657
• Economic Development Fund – As part of the FY 2012 CIP Amendment, staff
proposes increasing the Economic Development Fund budget by $110,000 to
fund the Central Street Sidewalk Project.
• Washington National TIF Fund – On February 27, 2012, the City Council
approved modifications to the FY 2012 Street Resurfacing and Brick Sidewalk
Replacement projects. As part of this item, the budgeted amounts of $230,000
for the Davis Street Sidewalk (Hinman to Orrington) and $500,000 for the
Viaduct Improvements on Davis Street were deferred until 2013. The Orrington
Avenue (Davis to Church) project, totaling $440,000, was approved as a
replacement for the deferred projects. The proposed FY 2012 CIP amendment
also includes the addition of $60,000 for the Pedestrian Lighting project. The
remaining $230,000 budgeted for capital projects in the Washington National TIF
Fund are proposed for economic development projects. Finally, the proposed
CIP amendment includes $425,000 in additional carryover funds, which were
originally budgeted in FY 2011, for the Comprehensive Parking Garage Repair
Project and $175,000 for the Street Furniture Package.
• Howard-Hartrey TIF Fund – As part of public infrastructure improvements for the
Howard-Hartrey TIF Fund (Southwest II TIF), the following projects, totaling
$1.5M are proposed:
o Installation of sidewalk and pedestrian lighting along access drive parallel
to Hartrey from Howard Street North to Target - $350,000
o Installation of a new bus shelter at Howard Street and Access Drive
(Hartrey) including bump out - $250,000
o Streetscape improvement along Hartrey from Howard Street to the Dead
end on east side of wall including the gateway into James park - $550,000
o Howard Street and Jewel Osco Driveway reconfiguration, bump out and
bus shelter - $350,000
• Howard-Ridge TIF Fund – As part of the FY 2012 CIP amendment, staff
proposes revising the capital projects to be completed with funding from the
Howard-Ridge TIF. The adopted FY 2012 CIP included $430,000 for economic
development projects in the Howard-Ridge TIF. The proposed amendment
would replace this item with the project “CIP Improvements on City Owned
Buildings” in the amount of $900,000 for an amended increase of $470,000.
• Capital Improvement Fund – On March 19, 2012, the City Council approved
additional modifications to the 2012 Street Resurfacing and Street Light Power
Center projects. These modifications totaled $1.25M and will be funded through
a transfer from the General Fund to the Capital Improvements Fund. A
summary of the projects included in this modification is provided below:

budget for capital projects to be funded by the Capital Improvement Fund would
increase from $12,717,358 to $14,650,358.
Legislative History:
On November 28, 2011, the City Council approved the FY 2012 Capital Improvements
Program (CIP), totaling $36,783,358. The proposed resolution would increase the FY
2012 CIP by $4,613,000 from $36,783,358 to $41,396,358.

Resolution 49-R-12: Appointing Delegates to IPBC
For Action
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
Administration and Public Works Committee
From: Martin Lyons, Assistant City Manager/Treasurer
Subject: Resolution 49-R-12 Appointing the City of Evanston Delegates to the
Intergovernmental Personnel Benefit Cooperative (IPBC)
Date: June 4, 2012
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends appointing Assistant City Manager/Treasurer Martin Lyons as the
City’s delegate to the Intergovernmental Personnel Benefit Cooperative (IPBC), and
Human Resources Division Manager Cheryl Chukwu as the alternate delegate.
Summary:
Joellen Earl and Martin Lyons were the two delegates for the City to the IPBC. With Ms.
Earl’s departure, a replacement delegate needs to be named. The IPBC relies on a
high level of member attendance to accomplish the monthly administrative activities of
the Cooperative. Two delegates are required by the IPBC and desirable by the City to
provide adequate representation at Pool meetings.
The IPBC is an entity created under Illinois state law allowing municipalities to band
together for the purposes of health insurance. The City’s current three-year membership
in IPBC runs from July 1, 2011, and ends June 30, 2014.
The IPBC has been in existence for over 30 years and currently includes 61 local
government entities along with the City. The IPBC is owned and operated by its
membership under a non-profit corporation and governed by a set of by-laws that
outline the purpose, powers and duties of the cooperative.

Resolution 12-R-12: Regarding Howard Hartrey TIF District Surplus
For Action
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
Administration and Public Works Committee.
From: Martin Lyons, Assistant City Manager
Nancy Radzevich, Economic Development Division Manager
Subject: Resolution 12-R-12, Regarding Howard Hartrey TIF District Surplus
Date: June 5, 2012
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends the City Council approve Resolution 12-R-12 declaring a surplus of
$1.3M from the Howard Hartrey Tax Increment Financing (TIF) District at the end of
Fiscal Year 2011. This item was held in the Administration and Public Works Committee
meeting of December 12, 2011 (old resolution number 80-R-11).
Summary:
City staff originally brought this item to the City Council on December 12, 2011 and this
correspondence is listed as Attachment A. As a part of this meeting this item was sent
back to the Economic Development Committee for discussion. Attachment B is the
correspondence provided to the Economic Development Committee for the January 25,
2012 meeting. Attachment C is a copy of the minutes from the January 25, 2012,
Economic Development Committee. Attachment C provided specific direction to staff
regarding research and actions needed to bring this issue back to the City Council as
follows:
1. Eliminate discussion of the early closure of the Howard Hartrey TIF
2. Explore all capital projects that can be funded from the Howard Hartrey TIF in
2012 (and future years).
3. Hold a neighborhood meeting within the TIF to discuss these projects.
City staff have worked with the 8th Ward Alderman to develop a comprehensive listing of
capital projects to be accomplished in the Howard Hartrey TIF. These projects total
$1.5 million and are included in the 2012 Budget Amendment also before the City
Council on June 11, 2012. The table below summarizes these projects as they are
shown in the 2012Capital Improvements Plan, which will is also before the City Council
on June 11, 2012.

As noted in Attachment D (excerpt from the 2011 Joint Review Board Report) the
minimum surplus distribution is $644,708. Resolution 12-R-12 is the surplus distribution
resolution which does not include any language to close the Howard Hartrey TIF and
only addresses the surplus distribution. The recommended distribution of $1.3 million
will result in an estimated breakdown of revenues as noted in the table below, but is
subject to final allocation by Cook County.
Agency/ Taxing Body FY11 Surplus Distribution (estimated)
City of Evanston $252,200
School District 65 $501,800
School District 202 $338,000
Other $208,000
TOTAL $1,300,000
Staff is recommending this level of distribution to eliminate the need for a City/School
intergovernmental agreement as was previously discussed and noted in Attachment
A/B.
Using the updated financial information from the unaudited financial statements for
2011, the Howard Hartrey TIF financials through December 31, 2012 are estimated as
follows on the next page:

Recommended 2011 Surplus Distribution $ 1,300,000
Transfer to General Fund $ 141,600
Remaining Fund Balance at end of 2012 $ 2,422,662
The Howard Hartrey TIF can still expect sufficient tax increment revenues to cover all
future debt payments currently outstanding. As such, the above $2.4 million can be
considered for future infrastructure projects or development projects.

Ordinance 58-O-12: Chicago/Main Tax Increment Financing District
For Introduction
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
Administration and Public Works Committee
From: Steve Griffin, Community & Economic Development Director
Nancy Radzevich, Economic Development Manager
Johanna Nyden, Economic Development Coordinator
Subject: Adoption of Ordinances for the Designation of Chicago/Main Tax
Increment Financing District
Date: May 30, 2012
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends adoption of Ordinance 58-O-12, “Designating, Proposing Approval of
a Redevelopment Plan and Project, Adopting Tax Increment Allocation Financing,
Convening a Joint Review Board, and Calling a Public Hearing Regarding the Proposed
Chicago/Main Redevelopment Area”
Adoption of this ordinance will initiate the public hearing process for the designation of
the Chicago/Main Tax Increment Financing (TIF) District.
Funding Source:
Not Applicable
Background:
On September 12, 2011, City Council authorized the City Manager to execute a contract
with Kane McKenna and Associates, Inc. (KMA), with Special Consultant: Michio
Murakishi for an amount not to exceed $80,000 in response to Request for Proposal
(RPF) 12-39 for consulting services. The services in the base contract pertain to
economic development activities and incentive programs, specifically for research,
impact studies, financial and market feasibility, and related work associated with the
eligibility studies for two new TIF districts – one inclusive of Evanston Plaza located at
the intersection of Dempster Street and Dodge Avenue, and another inclusive of
portions of Main Street and the vacant parcel located at the southeast corner of Main
Street and Chicago Avenue. At the February 13, 2012 meeting, City Council authorized
an amendment to this contract for a third TIF eligibility study for a new or amended TIF
District generally covering the Downtown commercial area west of the CTA/Metra
viaducts.
Memorandum
214 of 657
Page 2 of 3
An interested parties registry was adopted on March 26, 2012 through the adoption of
Ordinance 33-O-12 “Authorizing the Establishment of Interested Parties Registries and
Adopting Rules for Such Registries for Redevelopment Project Areas in the City of
Evanston.” The ordinance was inclusive of both the proposed Dodge/Dempster TIF and
the proposed Main/Chicago TIF.
Summary:
As discussed in the attached draft Redevelopment Plan, the creation of a TIF district
provides a tool for both the City and the property owners within the district to redevelop
key vacant parcels and maintain the overall commercial district in the Main Street and
Chicago Avenue area. A significant focus of this TIF designation is the redevelopment
of the vacant parcel located at the southeast corner of Main Street and Chicago into a
mixed-use office building. The current lending environment makes the development of
an office building at this site solely through private involvement impossible. The
designation of the TIF district will provide a tool that the City will be able to utilize in
order to ensure that the site is developed as a mixed-use retail/office building. The
district will also provide funds to improve the CTA and Metra as necessary as well as
infrastructure along Main Street between Chicago Avenue and Elmwood Avenue.
As part of the TIF designation process, KMA first evaluated the site against the state
statute to determine if it meets the criteria for TIF designation as a conservation area. A
conservation area is an area that is not blighted but exhibits potential risks of becoming
blighted. KMA has confirmed that it does meet the qualifications as a conservation
area. The next step after determining the area qualifies is to draft the Redevelopment
Plan, which defines the redevelopment objectives. These include:
1. Reduce or eliminate blight or other negative factors present within the area;
2. Coordinate redevelopment activities within the TIF district in order to provide a
positive marketplace signal to private investors;
3. Accomplish redevelopment over a reasonable time period;
4. Create an attractive overall appearance for the area; and
5. Further the goals and objectives of the Comprehensive Plan.
Designation of the Chicago/Main TIF District will support the development of the area at
Chicago Avenue and Main Street into a mixed-use office-retail development. Over the
past decade the area has seen a loss of day-time office users through the demolition of
office space (office space formally above the bank at the northwest corner and the office
space formally at the southeast corner). The development of this property to a mixed-
use retail/office development will support a business district comprised heavily of retail
and service-based businesses. Additionally, the potential development at the southeast
corner of Main Street and Chicago Avenue could include a public parking garage
component. The addition of the public parking garage would address a parking deficit
currently present in this business district. If not for the TIF district, the City and property
owner have a limited ability to develop the property into this form of development.
The district boundaries are also inclusive of several other parcels in the area to the west
of the southeast corner of Main Street and Chicago Avenue. These properties were
added to the proposed district in order to bring the TIF district to the property west of the
215 of 657
Page 3 of 3
rail viaducts to share the benefit of a TIF district with these key commercial properties.
The inclusion of these parcels will permit improvements to the associated infrastructure
(sidewalks and streets along Main Street as well as the rear parking lot behind Vogue
Fabrics, Good’s of Evanston, and Trattoria D.O.C.). The inclusion of rail right-of-ways
and the CTA and Metra Main Street stations also affords the opportunity to improve
viaducts and stations within the boundary at some point over the course of the 23-year
period of the TIF district.
The adoption of this ordinance authorizes the time and place for the public hearing
concerning the attached draft Chicago/Main TIF Plan and Eligibility Report and
authorizes City staff and KMA to prepare additional notices as required by the TIF Act.
The timeline for the next steps in designation and implementation of the Chicago/Main
TIF District is as follows:
• Upon adoption of the ordinance, the required notices will be sent to residential
properties within 750 feet.
• Per the State Statute, the Joint Review Board (JRB) is required to meet within 14
days of approval. The targeted dated for the JRB meeting is July 24, 2012.
• Within 30 days of their meeting, the JRB will make a recommendation or not to
proceed with the proposed TIF District. The targeted completion date for this
decision is August 23, 2012.
• Pending successful recommendations, the City Council will introduce and adopt
the ordinance to adopt the TIF plan, establish the Redevelopment Area, and to
adopt tax increment financing for Chicago/Main. The targeted date for the
introduction of the designation is September 10, 2012 and approval on
September 25, 2012.
Legislative History:
The City Council authorized a consulting services contract for KMA on September 26,
2011.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING
CITY OF EVANSTON, COOK COUNTY, ILLINOIS
PROPOSED CHICAGO/MAIN REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT AREA
Notice is hereby given that on the 23rd day of July, 2012, at 7:15 P.M. at the
Council Chambers, Lorraine H. Morton Civic Center, 2100 Ridge Avenue, Evanston,
Illinois, a public hearing will be held to consider the approval of the proposed
redevelopment plan (the “Redevelopment Plan”) and the designation of that certain
proposed redevelopment project area to be known as the Chicago/Main Redevelopment
Project Area (the “Redevelopment Project Area”). The Redevelopment Project Area
consists of the territory legally described as in Exhibit 1 attached and generally
described below:
The proposed Redevelopment Project Area consists primarily of
retail/commercial parcels southeast of the intersection of Chicago Avenue and Main
Street.
There will be considered at the hearing approval of the Redevelopment Plan and
Project for and the designation of the proposed Redevelopment Project Area and
adoption of tax increment allocation financing therefor. The proposed Redevelopment
Plan and Project is on file and available for public inspection at the office of the City
Clerk, City Hall, 2100 Ridge Avenue, Evanston, Illinois. Pursuant to the Redevelopment
Plan and Project the City proposes to alleviate conservation area conditions in the
Redevelopment Project Area and to enhance the tax base of the City and the taxing
districts having taxable property within the Redevelopment Project Area by utilizing tax
increment financing to fund various eligible project costs to stimulate private investment
within the Redevelopment Project Area. These eligible project costs may include, but
may not be limited to, studies, surveys, professional fees, property assembly costs,
construction of public improvements and infrastructure, renovation, reconstruction,
rehabilitation and repair of existing buildings, financing, administrative and other
professional costs, all as authorized under the Tax Increment Allocation Redevelopment
Act, as amended.
The Redevelopment Plan objectives include promoting and protecting the health,
safety, morals and welfare of the public by establishing a public/private partnership,
fostering economic growth, development and training in the City by working within the
guidelines of the business attraction and retention strategies developed by the City,
227 of 657
C-2
encouraging private investment while conforming with the City’s comprehensive plan,
restoring and enhancing the City’s tax base, enhancing the value of the proposed
Redevelopment Project Area, improving the environmental quality of the proposed
Redevelopment Project Area and retaining and attracting employment opportunities
within the proposed Redevelopment Project Area. To achieve these objectives, the
Redevelopment Plan proposes to provide assistance by paying or reimbursing costs
related to the acquisition, construction and installation of public facilities, property
assembly, site preparation and improvement, environmental remediation, job training
and other eligible redevelopment project costs, the execution of one or more
redevelopment agreements, and the payment of financing, administrative and other
professional costs.
Prior to the date of the hearing, each taxing district having property in the
Redevelopment Project Area and the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic
Opportunity may submit written comments to the City, to the attention of the City Clerk,
2100 Ridge Avenue, Evanston, Illinois 60201.
There is hereby convened a joint review board to consider the proposed
Redevelopment Plan and Project for and the designation of the proposed
Redevelopment Project Area and the adoption of tax increment allocation financing
therefor. The joint review board shall consist of a representative selected by each
community college district, local elementary school district and high school district or
each local community unit school district, park district, library district, township, fire
protection district and county that will have the authority to directly levy taxes on the
property within the Redevelopment Project Area at the time that the Redevelopment
Project Area is approved, a representative selected by the City, and a public member.
The first meeting of said joint review board shall be held at 3:00 pm. on the 15h day of
June, 2012, at the Evanston City Hall, 2100 Ridge Avenue, Evanston, Illinois.
At the hearing, all interested persons or affected taxing districts may file written
objections with the City Clerk and may be heard orally with respect to any issues
regarding the approval of the Redevelopment Plan and Project for and the designation
of the Redevelopment Project Area and the adoption of tax increment allocation
financing therefor. The hearing may be adjourned by the Mayor and the City Council of
the City without further notice other than a motion to be entered upon the minutes of the
hearing fixing the time and place of the subsequent hearing.

I. INTRODUCTION
The City of Evanston (the “City”) is an established community located in northern
Cook County, Illinois along the shores of Lake Michigan. In this report, the City
proposes a Tax Increment Financing Redevelopment Plan (the “Redevelopment
Plan” or “Plan”) to assist a strategically important area in overcoming a number
of redevelopment barriers. The City is pursuing the TIF designation to fulfill its
objective to revitalize an important retail district located in the vicinity of the
Chicago Avenue/Main Street intersection.
Kane, McKenna and Associates, Inc. (“KMA”) has been retained by the City of
Evanston to conduct an analysis of the potential qualification and designation of
the area as a Tax Increment Financing (“TIF”) District, and to assist the City in
drafting this TIF Redevelopment Plan.
The City has two goals in pursuing the potential TIF District. The first is to
promote redevelopment of the area to mitigate or prevent the onset of
obsolescence within an older Evanston retail district, including efforts to spur
new development at the southeast corner of Chicago Avenue and Main Street.
The second goal is to implement the City’s overall economic development
program and thereby diversify its tax base. As noted in various City reports
(including the annual budget, 2006 Strategic Plan and 2000 Comprehensive
General Plan), a general City priority is to implement a range of economic
development efforts.”
TIF Plan Requirements. The City is preparing this Plan as required by the
Tax Increment Allocation Redevelopment Act, (the “Act”) 65 ILCS 5/11-74.4-3,
et. seq., as amended. To establish a TIF district (also known as a Redevelopment
Project Area (“RPA”)), Illinois municipalities must adopt several documents,
including a TIF Redevelopment Plan and Eligibility Report.
The Act enables Illinois municipalities to establish TIF districts, either to
eliminate the presence of blight or to prevent its onset. The Act finds that
municipal TIF authority serves a public interest in order to: “promote and
protect the health, safety, morals, and welfare of the public, that blighted
conditions need to be eradicated and conservation measures instituted, and that
redevelopment of such areas be undertaken; that to remove and alleviate adverse
conditions it is necessary to encourage private investment and restore and
enhance the tax base of the taxing districts in such areas by the development or
redevelopment of project areas” (65 ILCS 5/11-74.4-2(b)).
By definition, a TIF “Redevelopment Plan" means the comprehensive program of
the municipality for development or redevelopment intended by the payment of
redevelopment project costs to reduce or eliminate those conditions the existence
of which qualify the redevelopment project area as a "blighted area,"
"conservation area" (or combination thereof), or "industrial park conservation
area," and thereby to enhance the tax bases of the taxing districts which extend
233 of 657
City of Evanston – Chicago/Main TIF District Page 2
into the redevelopment project area as set forth in the Tax Increment Allocation
Redevelopment Act.
Community Background. Incorporated in 1863 during the Civil War, the City
of Evanston is one of the oldest communities in the State of Illinois. After a long
period of growth during the late 19th and early 20th century, population stabilized
around its current level in the post-war era. As of the 2010 Census, City
population is 74,486.
The City has a number of important assets that make it desirable location for
residents and that fosters a competitive environment for businesses. First,
Evanston employers are able to draw upon one of the most highly educated
workforces in Illinois. Within Evanston, 66% of the adult population (over age
25) has obtained either a bachelor’s degree or an advanced degree (master’s
degree or other advanced degree). Secondly, the City possesses a variety of
transportation assets, including proximity to the Interstate Highway System,
state highways, a Metra train line, and a CTA (“El”) train line. Additionally,
biking as a commuter option is also expanding, as the CTA and the RTA
increasingly accommodate bicyclists who make connections to downtown
Chicago and suburban destinations.
Third, the City is home to several large employers that provide relative stability in
employment: St. Francis Hospital, Evanston Hospital, and Northwestern
University, among others. St. Francis Hospital is within walking distance to the
businesses along Main Street. Lastly, the City is dedicated to professional city
management and the provision of efficient, effective, and responsive service
delivery to residents and businesses. Under the current management team, the
City has identified economic development as a priority for service delivery and
may expand efforts in this area.
The Proposed TIF District. The proposed RPA consists of nineteen (19) tax
parcels and is situated in the vicinity of Chicago Avenue and Main Street. Most
parcels are located along the southern side of Main Street, between Chicago
Avenue and Sherman Avenue, except for a large vacant parcel targeted for
redevelopment which is on the eastern side of Chicago Avenue and a parking area
for Metra riders on the north side of Main Street. Within the proposed TIF
District the primary uses are commercial/retail facilities, along with a limited
number of mixed use and transportation-related structures.
The area faces a number of long-standing redevelopment challenges: the
structures in the area are underutilized, the site may require infrastructure
improvements, and end users face the general risk of obsolescence. Overall, the
proposed TIF District generally suffers from a variety of economic development
impediments as identified in the TIF Act and as documented in the TIF
Qualification Report (Section V).
234 of 657
City of Evanston – Chicago/Main TIF District Page 3
Despite the challenges, the proposed Chicago/Main TIF has a number of
important assets that can be potentially leveraged via TIF establishment:
• Easy access to two train lines (CTA and Metra), with two stations located
within the TIF District;
• A TIF District at the junction of two arterial roads, which generates the
vehicular traffic necessary to support commercial and retail uses; and
• Pedestrian as well as vehicular traffic, in part due to the density of the
area.
On the latter point, the population density is partially attributable to the recent
construction of several nearby rental and owner-occupied apartment buildings,
with an additional rental building under construction in early 2012 (according to
the City website, a 214-unit luxury apartment complex just south of the TIF
District).
On balance, the Chicago/Main TIF District has the potential for redevelopment of
certain underutilized properties. Accordingly, the City has identified a number of
objectives for redevelopment, with tax increment financing acting as a tool to
achieve them. Please refer to Section III of this report for additional information
about the goals, objectives and activities to support redevelopment.
The RPA would be suitable for new development if there is coordination of uses
and redevelopment activity by the City. Through this TIF Redevelopment Plan
and as part of its comprehensive economic development planning, the City
intends to attract and encourage commercial and retail/mixed uses to locate,
upgrade, expand and/or modernize their facilities within Evanston. Through the
establishment of the RPA, the City would implement a program to redevelop key
areas within the new TIF District; in so doing, it would stabilize the area, extend
benefits to the community, and assist affected taxing districts over the long run.
Rationale for Redevelopment Plan. The City recognizes the need for a
strategy to revitalize properties and promote development within the boundaries
of the RPA. The needed private investment would only be possible if a TIF
district is adopted pursuant to the terms of the Act. Incremental property tax
revenue generated by the project will play a decisive role in encouraging private
development. Site conditions and diverse ownership that have discouraged
intensive private investment in the past will be eliminated. Ultimately, the
implementation of the Plan will benefit both the City and surrounding taxing
districts, by virtue of the expected expansion of the tax base.
Based on City staff and KMA assessment, it is unlikely that the area as a whole
would be developed in a coordinated manner unless the TIF Redevelopment Plan
is adopted. The City, with the assistance of KMA, has therefore commissioned
this Plan to use tax increment financing in order to address local needs and to
meet redevelopment goals and objectives.
235 of 657
City of Evanston – Chicago/Main TIF District Page 4
The adoption of this Plan makes possible the implementation of a comprehensive
program for the economic redevelopment of the area. By means of public
investment and land assembly, the RPA will become a more viable area that will
attract private investment. The public investment and land assembly will lay the
foundation for the redevelopment of the area with private capital. This in turn
will set the stage for future retail, commercial and mixed use opportunities
surrounding the area.
The designation of the area as an RPA will allow the City to pursue the following
beneficial strategies:
• Providing infrastructure that supports subsequent redevelopment plans
for the RPA;
• Improvements to sites within the RPA in preparation for redevelopment
(“site prep”) as well as improvements to structures in order to
accommodate new tenants;
• Increase the ability to develop property within the RPA to its highest and
best use;
• Establishing a pattern of land-use activities that will increase efficiency
and economic inter-relationships, especially as such uses complement
adjacent current and/or future commercial opportunities and City
redevelopment projects within the RPA and/or surrounding area; and
• Enhancing area appearance through improvements to landscape,
streetscape and signage as well as façade improvement programs.
Through this Plan, the City will direct the coordination and assembly of the assets
and investments of the private sector and establish a unified, cooperative public-
private redevelopment effort. Several benefits are expected to accrue to the area:
entry of new businesses; new employment opportunities; and physical and
aesthetic improvements. Ultimately, the implementation of the Plan will benefit
(a) the City, (b) the taxing districts serving the RPA, (c) residents and property
owners within and adjacent to the RPA, and (d) existing and new businesses
within the RPA.
City Findings. The City, through legislative actions as required by the Act,
finds:
• That the RPA as a whole has not been subject to growth and development
through investment by private enterprise;
• That in order to promote and protect the health, safety, and welfare of the
public, certain conditions that have adversely affected redevelopment within
236 of 657
City of Evanston – Chicago/Main TIF District Page 5
the RPA need to be addressed, and that redevelopment of such areas must be
undertaken;
• To alleviate the adverse conditions, it is necessary to encourage private
investment and enhance the tax base of the taxing districts in such areas by
the development or redevelopment of certain areas;
• That public/private partnerships are determined to be necessary in order to
achieve development goals;
• That without the development focus and resources provided for under the Act
and as set forth in this Plan, growth and redevelopment would not reasonably
be expected to be achieved;
• That the use of incremental tax revenues derived from the tax rates of various
taxing districts in the RPA for the payment of redevelopment project costs is
of benefit to the taxing districts, because the taxing districts would not derive
the benefits of an increased assessment base without addressing the
coordination of redevelopment; and
• That the TIF Redevelopment Plan conforms to the Evanston Comprehensive
Plan, as detailed in Section III of this report.
Additionally, the City finds that it is useful, desirable, and necessary for the City
to assemble land into parcels of sufficient size to encourage development
consistent with current standards.
It is further found, and certified by the City, in connection to the statutory
process required for the adoption of this Plan, that (a) the that the RPA does not
contain over seventy-five (75) inhabited residential units and (b) projected
redevelopment of the RPA will not result in the displacement of ten (10)
inhabited residential units or more. Therefore, this Plan does not include a
Housing Impact Study.
The redevelopment activities that will take place within the RPA will produce
benefits that are reasonably distributed throughout the RPA. Redevelopment of
the RPA area is tenable only if a portion of the improvements and other costs are
funded by TIF.
Pursuant to the Act, the RPA includes only those contiguous parcels of real
property and improvements thereon substantially benefited by the
redevelopment project. Also pursuant to the Act, the area in the aggregate is
more than 1½ acres. A boundary map of the RPA is included in Appendix 2 of
this Plan.

III. RPA GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
The City has established a number of economic development goals, objectives,
and strategies which would determine the types of activities to be undertaken
within the proposed Chicago/Main TIF District. These efforts would conform to
and promote the achievement of land use objectives in the City’s Comprehensive
Plan.

As indicated in the exhibit above, the City’s primary planning document is the
Comprehensive Plan which describes the overall vision for the City and is the
foundation for City initiatives such as the proposed Chicago/Main TIF District.
This overarching planning document determines future land uses and influences
all other City planning efforts such as the TIF planning process.
General Economic Development Goals of the City. Establishment of the
proposed Chicago/Main TIF supports the following City-wide objectives
established in the Comprehensive Plan that would directly determine future
economic development activities and influence the parameters of future
redevelopment projects. Exhibit 2 identifies certain Comprehensive Plan goals

In addition the foregoing Comprehensive Plan goals, objectives, and actions, the
City has recently adopted a City-wide economic development plan. This plan
directly impacts the scope of the TIF Plan by identifying key industries that the
City intends on supporting (via tax increment financing or other means):
1. Technology-Based Businesses
2. Health Care and Wellness Industries
3. Baby Boomer Markets
4. Arts and Entertainment Venues
5. Water Industries

Additionally, TIF designation would enable the City to pursue the following
objectives within the RPA:
o Reduce or eliminate blight or other negative factors present within the area;
o Coordinate redevelopment activities within the RPA in order to provide a
positive marketplace signal to private investors;
o Create an attractive overall appearance for the area; and
o Further the goals and objectives of the Comprehensive Plan.
Ultimately, the implementation of the Redevelopment Plan would contribute to
the economic development of the area and provide new employment
opportunities for City residents.
The RPA-specific objectives would be fulfilled by the execution of certain
strategies, including but not limited to the following:
o Facilitating the preparation of improved and vacant sites, by assisting any
private developer(s) in the assembly of suitable sites for modern development
needs;
o Coordinating site preparation and rehabilitation of structures to provide
additional land for redevelopment, as appropriate;
o Fostering the replacement, repair, and/or improvement of infrastructure,
including (as needed) sidewalks, streets, curbs, gutters and underground
water and sanitary systems to facilitate the construction of new development
within the RPA;
o Facilitating the provision of adequate on- and off-street parking within the
RPA; and/or
o Coordinating development in tandem with any transportation system
upgrades to make the area more accessible.
To track success in meeting RPA-specific objectives and strategies, the City may
wish to consider establishing certain performance measures that would help the
City monitor the projects to be undertaken within the proposed RPA. The
Government Finance Officers Association recommends that municipalities
adopting TIF districts evaluate actual against projected performance (e.g., using
metrics such as job creation or tax revenue generation). Exhibit 3 below
identifies the types of performance measures the City may consider to track the
performance of projects within the RPA. (Section VI of this report discusses the
241 of 657
City of Evanston – Chicago/Main TIF District Page 10
types of projects that the City may pursue within the RPA, with the caveat that
specific projects at this point are only conceptual in nature.)

IV. EVIDENCE OF THE LACK OF DEVELOPMENT AND
GROWTH; FISCAL IMPACT ON TAXING DISTRICTS
Evidence of the Lack of Development and Growth within the RPA. As
documented in Appendix 5 of this Plan, the RPA has suffered from the lack of
development and would qualify as a Conservation Area. In recent years, the area
has not benefited from sustained private investment and/or development,
instead suffering economic decline. Absent intervention by the City, properties
within the RPA would not be likely to gain in value.
The proposed RPA exhibits various conditions which, if not addressed by the
City, would eventually result in blight. Those conditions include structures and
public improvements reflecting obsolescence as well as other deficiencies. These
various conditions discourage private sector investment in business enterprises.
Assessment of Fiscal Impact on Affected Taxing Districts. It is not
anticipated that the implementation of this Plan will have a negative financial
impact on the affected taxing districts. Instead, action taken by the City to
stabilize and cause growth of its tax base through the implementation of this Plan
will have a positive impact on the affected taxing districts by arresting the
potential decline or lag in property values, as measured by assessed valuations
(AV). In short, the establishment of a TIF district would protect other taxing
districts from the potential downside risk of falling AV.
Should the City achieve success in attracting private investment which results in
the need for documented increased services from any taxing districts, the City
will consider the declaration of “surplus funds,” as defined under the Act and
pursuant to any executed intergovernmental agreement. Such funds which are
neither expended nor obligated for TIF-related purposes can be used to assist
affected taxing districts in paying the costs for increased services.
Any surplus Special Tax Allocation Funds (to the extent any surplus exists) will
be shared in proportion to the various tax rates imposed by the taxing districts,
including the City. Any such sharing would be undertaken after all TIF-eligible
costs – either expended or incurred as an obligation by the City – have been duly
accounted for through administration of the Special Tax Allocation Fund to be
established by the City as provided by the Act.
An exception to the tax-sharing provision relates to the City’s utilization of TIF
funding to mitigate the impact of residential redevelopment upon school
districts. In such cases, the City will provide funds to offset the costs incurred by
the eligible school districts in the manner prescribed by 65 ILCS Section 5/11-
74.4.3(q)(7.5) of the Act. It should be noted that new residential uses are not
expected as part of future redevelopment activities. (Refer to Section VI of this
Report, which describes allowable TIF project costs.)

V. TIF QUALIFICATION FACTORS PRESENT IN
THE RPA
Findings. The RPA was studied to determine its qualifications under the Tax
Increment Allocation Redevelopment Act. It was determined that the area as a
whole qualifies as a TIF district under the Act. Refer to the TIF Qualification
Report, attached as Appendix 5 in this Plan.
Eligibility Survey. Representatives of KMA and City staff evaluated the RPA
from late 2011 to the date of the publication of this Plan. Analysis was aided by
certain reports obtained from the City, reports from City engineering consultants,
on-site due diligence, and other sources. In KMA’s evaluation, only information
was recorded which would help assess the eligibility of the proposed area as a TIF
District.

VI. REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT
Redevelopment Plan and Project Objectives. As indicated in Section III of
this Report, the City has established a planning process which guides economic
development and land use activities throughout the City. Consistent with the
established planning process, the City proposes to achieve economic development
goals and objectives through the redevelopment of the Chicago/Main TIF
District, pursuit of projects within the RPA, and the promotion of private
investment via public financing techniques (including but not limited to tax
increment financing).
The project-specific objectives envisioned for the Chicago/Main TIF are as
follows:
1) Implementing a plan that provides for the attraction of users and tenants
to redevelop underutilized land and buildings that are available within the
RPA.
2) Constructing public improvements which may include (if necessary):
• Street and sidewalk improvements (including new street construction
and widening of current streets; any street widening would conform
with City standards for context-sensitive design);
• Utility improvements (including, but not limited to, water, stormwater
management, and sanitary sewer projects consisting of construction
and rehabilitation);
• Signalization, traffic control and lighting;
• Off-street parking and public parking facilities; and
• Landscaping, streetscaping, and beautification.
3) Entering into Redevelopment Agreements with developers for qualified
redevelopment projects, including (but not limited to) the provision of an
interest rate subsidy as allowed under the Act.
4) Providing for site preparation, clearance, environmental remediation, and
demolition, including grading and excavation (any demolition activities
would conform to City criteria for allowing demolition) as needed.
5) Providing for the rehabilitation of structures in order to improve the
occupancy and appearance of the property within the RPA.
6) Exploration and review of job training programs in coordination with any
City, federal, state, and county programs.
7) Entering into agreements for the development and/or construction of
public facilities and infrastructure.
245 of 657
City of Evanston – Chicago/Main TIF District Page 14
Redevelopment Activities. Pursuant to the project objectives cited above, the
City will implement a coordinated program of actions. These include, but are not
limited to, land acquisition, land disposition, site preparation, clearance,
demolition, provision of public infrastructure and related public improvements,
construction of new public facilities, and rehabilitation of structures, if necessary.
Such activities conform to the provision of the TIF Act that define the scope of
permissible redevelopment activities.
Site Preparation, Clearance, Relocation and Demolition
Property within the RPA may be improved through the use of site clearance,
excavation, environmental remediation or demolition prior to redevelopment.
The land may also be graded and cleared prior to redevelopment. Relocation may
also be required under the TIF Act; the City would conform to the provisions of
the Act.
Land Assembly and Disposition
Certain properties or interests in properties in the RPA may be acquired by
purchase or the exercise of eminent domain. Properties owned by or acquired by
the City may be assembled and reconfigured into appropriate redevelopment
sites. If necessary, the City would facilitate private acquisition through
reimbursement of acquisition and related costs as well as through the write-down
of its acquisition costs. Such land may be held or disposed of by the City on terms
appropriate for public or private development, including the acquisition of land
needed for construction of public improvements.
Public Improvements
The City may, but is not required to, provide public improvements in the RPA to
enhance the immediate area and support the Plan. Appropriate public
improvements may include, but are not limited to:
• Improvements and/or construction of public utilities including extension
of water mains as well as sanitary and storm sewer systems, roadways, and
traffic-related improvements;
• Parking facilities; and
• Beautification, identification markers, landscaping, lighting, and signage
of public right-of-ways.
246 of 657
City of Evanston – Chicago/Main TIF District Page 15
Rehabilitation/Taxing District Capital Costs
The City may provide for the rehabilitation of certain structures within the RPA
in order to provide for the redevelopment of the area and conform to City code
provisions. Improvements may include exterior and facade-related work as well
as interior-related work.
The City may construct or provide for the construction and reimbursement for
new facilities to be owned or used by units of local government. The City does
not expect that locally designated landmarks or properties listed on or eligible for
listing on the National Register of Historic Places (or properties significantly
contributing to districts listed on the National Register of Historic Places) will be
demolished or modified in connection with the Plan.
Interest Rate Write-Down
The City may enter into agreements with for-profit or non-profit
owners/developers whereby a portion of the interest cost for construction,
renovation or rehabilitation projects are paid out of the Special Tax Allocation
fund of the RPA, in accordance with the Act.
Job Training
The City may assist facilities and enterprises located within the RPA in obtaining
job training assistance. Job training and retraining programs currently available
from or through other governments include, but are not limited to:
• Federal programs;
• State of Illinois programs;
• Applicable local vocational educational programs, including
community college sponsored programs; and
• Other federal, state, county or non-profit programs that are
currently available or will be developed and initiated over time.
School District Costs
The City may provide for payment of school district costs as provided for in the
Act relating to residential components assisted through TIF funding.
General Land Use Plan. As noted in Section I of this report, the proposed
RPA currently contains primarily retail and mixed uses, in addition to a limited
number of transportation-related uses.
247 of 657
City of Evanston – Chicago/Main TIF District Page 16
Existing land uses are shown in Appendix 3 attached hereto and made a part of
this Plan. Appendix 4 designates future land uses in the Redevelopment Project
Area and includes retail and mixed uses. Future land uses will conform to the
Zoning Ordinance and the Comprehensive Plan as either may be amended from
time to time.
Additional Design and Control Standards. The appropriate design
standards (including any Planned Unit Developments) as set forth in the City’s
Zoning Ordinance and/or Comprehensive Plan shall apply to the RPA.
Eligible Redevelopment Project Costs. Under the TIF statute,
redevelopment project costs mean and include the sum total of all reasonable or
necessary costs incurred or estimated to be incurred as well as any such costs
incidental to the Plan. (Private investments, which supplement “Redevelopment
Project Costs,” are expected to substantially exceed such redevelopment project
costs.) Eligible costs permitted by the Act and pertaining to this Plan include:
(1) Professional Service Costs – Costs of studies, surveys, development of
plans, and specifications, implementation and administration of the
redevelopment plan including but not limited to staff and professional
service costs for architectural, engineering, legal, financial, planning or
other services, provided however that no charges for professional services
may be based on a percentage of the tax increment collected; except that
on and after November 1, 1999 (the effective date of Public Act 91-478), no
contracts for professional services, excluding architectural and
engineering services, may be entered into if the terms of the contract
extend beyond a period of 3 years. After consultation with the
municipality, each tax increment consultant or advisor to a municipality
that plans to designate or has designated a redevelopment project area
shall inform the municipality in writing of any contracts that the
consultant or advisor has entered into with entities or individuals that
have received, or are receiving, payments financed by tax increment
revenues produced by the redevelopment project area with respect to
which the consultant or advisor has performed, or will be performing,
service for the municipality. This requirement shall be satisfied by the
consultant or advisor before the commencement of services for the
municipality and thereafter whenever any other contracts with those
individuals or entities are executed by the consultant or advisor;
The cost of marketing sites within the redevelopment project area to
prospective businesses, developers, and investors;
Annual administrative costs shall not include general overhead or
administrative costs of the municipality that would still have been
incurred by the municipality if the municipality had not designated a
redevelopment project area or approved a redevelopment plan;
248 of 657
City of Evanston – Chicago/Main TIF District Page 17
In addition, redevelopment project costs shall not include lobbying
expenses;
(2) Property Assembly Costs – Costs including but not limited to acquisition
of land and other property (real or personal) or rights or interests therein,
demolition of buildings, site preparation, site improvements that serve as
an engineered barrier addressing ground level or below ground
environmental contamination, including, but not limited to parking lots
and other concrete or asphalt barriers, and the clearing and grading of
land;
(3) Improvements to Public or Private Buildings – Costs of rehabilitation,
reconstruction, repair, or remodeling of existing public or private
buildings, fixtures, and leasehold improvements; and the cost of replacing
an existing public building if pursuant to the implementation of a
redevelopment project the existing public building is to be demolished to
use the site for private investment or devoted to a different use requiring
private investment;
(4) Public Works – Costs of the construction of public works or
improvements, except that on and after November 1, 1999, redevelopment
project costs shall not include the cost of constructing a new municipal
public building principally used to provide offices, storage space, or
conference facilities or vehicle storage, maintenance, or repair for
administrative, public safety, or public works personnel and that is not
intended to replace an existing public building as provided under
paragraph (3) of subsection (q) of Section 11-74.4-3 unless either (i) the
construction of the new municipal building implements a redevelopment
project that was included in a redevelopment plan that was adopted by the
municipality prior to November 1, 1999 or (ii) the municipality makes a
reasonable determination in the redevelopment plan, supported by
information that provides the basis for that determination, that the new
municipal building is required to meet an increase in the need for public
safety purposes anticipated to result from the implementation of the
redevelopment plan;
(5) Job Training – Costs of job training and retraining projects, including the
cost of "welfare to work" programs implemented by businesses located
within the redevelopment project area;
(6) Financing Costs – Costs including but not limited to all necessary and
incidental expenses related to the issuance of obligations and which may
include payment of interest on any obligations issued hereunder including
(a) interest accruing during the estimated period of construction of any
redevelopment project for which such obligations are issued and for a
period not exceeding 36 months thereafter and (b) reasonable reserves
related thereto;
249 of 657
City of Evanston – Chicago/Main TIF District Page 18
(7) Capital Costs – To the extent the municipality by written agreement
accepts and approves the same, all or a portion of a taxing district's capital
costs resulting from the redevelopment project necessarily incurred or to
be incurred within a taxing district in furtherance of the objectives of the
redevelopment plan and project;
(8) School-Related Costs – For redevelopment project areas designated (or
redevelopment project areas amended to add or increase the number of
tax-increment-financing assisted housing units) on or after November 1,
1999, an elementary, secondary, or unit school district's increased costs
attributable to assisted housing units located within the redevelopment
project area for which the developer or redeveloper receives financial
assistance through an agreement with the municipality or because the
municipality incurs the cost of necessary infrastructure improvements
within the boundaries of the assisted housing sites necessary for the
completion of that housing as authorized by the Act, and which costs shall
be paid by the municipality from the Special Tax Allocation Fund when the
tax increment revenue is received as a result of the assisted housing units
and shall be calculated annually;1
(9) Relocation Costs – To the extent that a municipality determines that
relocation costs shall be paid or is required to make payment of relocation
costs by federal or State law or in order to satisfy subparagraph (7) of
subsection (n) of the Act;
1 The calculation is as follows: (A) for foundation districts, excluding any school district in a municipality with a population
in excess of 1,000,000, by multiplying the district's increase in attendance resulting from the net increase in new students
enrolled in that school district who reside in housing units within the redevelopment project area that have received
financial assistance through an agreement with the municipality or because the municipality incurs the cost of necessary
infrastructure improvements within the boundaries of the housing sites necessary for the completion of that housing as
authorized by the Act since the designation of the redevelopment project area by the most recently available per capita
tuition cost as defined in Section 10-20.12a of the School Code less any increase in general State aid as defined in Section
18-8.05 of the School Code attributable to these added new students subject to the following annual limitations: (i) for
unit school districts with a district average 1995-96 Per Capita Tuition Charge of less than $5,900, no more than 25% of
the total amount of property tax increment revenue produced by those housing units that have received tax increment
finance assistance under the Act; (ii) for elementary school districts with a district average 1995-96 Per Capita Tuition
Charge of less than $5,900, no more than 17% of the total amount of property tax increment revenue produced by those
housing units that have received tax increment finance assistance under the Act; and (iii) for secondary school districts
with a district average 1995-96 Per Capita Tuition Charge of less than $5,900, no more than 8% of the total amount of
property tax increment revenue produced by those housing units that have received tax increment finance assistance
under the Act. (B) For alternate method districts, flat grant districts, and foundation districts with a district average 1995-
96 Per Capita Tuition Charge equal to or more than $5,900, excluding any school district with a population in excess of
1,000,000, by multiplying the district's increase in attendance resulting from the net increase in new students enrolled in
that school district who reside in housing units within the redevelopment project area that have received financial
assistance through an agreement with the municipality or because the municipality incurs the cost of necessary
infrastructure improvements within the boundaries of the housing sites necessary for the completion of that housing as
authorized by the Act since the designation of the redevelopment project area by the most recently available per capita
tuition cost as defined in Section 10-20.12a of the School Code less any increase in general state aid as defined in Section
18-8.05 of the School Code attributable to these added new students subject to the following annual limitations: (i) for
unit school districts, no more than 40% of the total amount of property tax increment revenue produced by those housing
units that have received tax increment finance assistance under the Act; (ii) for elementary school districts, no more than
27% of the total amount of property tax increment revenue produced by those housing units that have received tax
increment finance assistance under the Act; and (iii) for secondary school districts, no more than 13% of the total amount
of property tax increment revenue produced by those housing units that have received tax increment finance assistance
under the Act. (C) For any school district in a municipality with a population in excess of 1,000,000, additional provisions
apply.

(10) Payment in lieu of taxes;
(11) Other Job Training – Costs of job training, retraining, advanced
vocational education or career education, including but not limited to
courses in occupational, semi-technical or technical fields leading directly
to employment, incurred by one or more taxing districts, provided that
such costs (i) are related to the establishment and maintenance of
additional job training, advanced vocational education or career education
programs for persons employed or to be employed by employers located in
a redevelopment project area; and (ii) when incurred by a taxing district or
taxing districts other than the municipality, are set forth in a written
agreement by or among the municipality and the taxing district or taxing
districts, which agreement describes the program to be undertaken,
including but not limited to the number of employees to be trained, a
description of the training and services to be provided, the number and
type of positions available or to be available, itemized costs of the program
and sources of funds to pay for the same, and the term of the agreement.
Such costs include, specifically, the payment by community college
districts of costs pursuant to Sections 3-37, 3-38, 3-40 and 3-40.1 of the
Public Community College Act and by school districts of costs pursuant to
Sections 10-22.20a and 10-23.3a of The School Code;
(12) Developer Interest Cost – Interest cost incurred by a redeveloper related
to the construction, renovation or rehabilitation of a redevelopment
project provided that:
(A) Such costs are to be paid directly from the special tax allocation
fund established pursuant to the Act;
(B) Such payments in any one year may not exceed 30% of the annual
interest costs incurred by the redeveloper with regard to the redevelopment
project during that year;
(C) If there are not sufficient funds available in the special tax
allocation fund to make the payment then the amounts so due shall accrue and
be payable when sufficient funds are available in the special tax allocation
fund;
(D) The total of such interest payments paid pursuant to the Act may
not exceed 30% of the total (i) cost paid or incurred by the redeveloper for the
redevelopment project plus (ii) redevelopment project costs excluding any
property assembly costs and any relocation costs incurred by a municipality
pursuant to the Act;
(E) The cost limits set forth in subparagraphs (B) and (D) of paragraph
shall be modified for the financing of rehabilitated or new housing units for
low-income households and very low-income households, as defined in
Section 3 of the Illinois Affordable Housing Act. The percentage of 75% shall
be substituted for 30% in subparagraphs (B) and (D);
251 of 657
City of Evanston – Chicago/Main TIF District Page 20
(F) Instead of the eligible costs provided by subparagraphs (B) and (D),
as modified by this subparagraph, and notwithstanding any other provisions of
the Act to the contrary, the municipality may pay from tax increment revenues
up to 50% of the cost of construction of new housing units to be occupied by
low-income households and very low-income households as defined in Section
3 of the Illinois Affordable Housing Act. The cost of construction of those units
may be derived from the proceeds of bonds issued by the municipality under
the Act or other constitutional or statutory authority or from other sources of
municipal revenue that may be reimbursed from tax increment revenues or the
proceeds of bonds issued to finance the construction of that housing. The
eligible costs provided under this subparagraph (F) shall be an eligible cost for
the construction, renovation, and rehabilitation of all low and very low-income
housing units, as defined in Section 3 of the Illinois Affordable Housing Act,
within the redevelopment project area. If the low and very low-income units
are part of a residential redevelopment project that includes units not
affordable to low and very low-income households, only the low and very low-
income units shall be eligible for benefits under subparagraph (F).2
The TIF Act prohibits certain costs. Unless explicitly stated herein the cost of
construction of new privately-owned buildings shall not be an eligible
redevelopment project cost. In addition, the statute prohibits costs related to
retail development that results in the closing of nearby facilities of the same
retailers. Specifically, none of the redevelopment project costs enumerated in the
Act shall be eligible redevelopment project costs if those costs would provide
direct financial support to a retail entity initiating operations in the
redevelopment project area while terminating operations at another Illinois
location within 10 miles of the redevelopment project area but outside the
boundaries of the redevelopment project area municipality.3
Projected Redevelopment Project Costs. Estimated project costs are
shown in Exhibit 4 below. Adjustments to estimated line-item costs below are
expected and may be made without amendment to the Redevelopment Plan.
Each individual project cost will be reevaluated in light of the projected private
2 The standards for maintaining the occupancy by low-income households and very low-income households, as defined in
Section 3 of the Illinois Affordable Housing Act, of those units constructed with eligible costs made available under the
provisions of this subparagraph (F) of paragraph (11) shall be established by guidelines adopted by the municipality. The
responsibility for annually documenting the initial occupancy of the units by low-income households and very low-income
households, as defined in Section 3 of the Illinois Affordable Housing Act, shall be that of the then current owner of the
property. For ownership units, the guidelines will provide, at a minimum, for a reasonable recapture of funds, or other
appropriate methods designed to preserve the original affordability of the ownership units. For rental units, the guidelines
will provide, at a minimum, for the affordability of rent to low and very low-income households. As units become
available, they shall be rented to income-eligible tenants. The municipality may modify these guidelines from time to time;
the guidelines, however, shall be in effect for as long as tax increment revenue is being used to pay for costs associated
with the units or for the retirement of bonds issued to finance the units or for the life of the redevelopment project area,
whichever is later.
3 Termination means a closing of a retail operation that is directly related to the opening of the same operation or like
retail entity owned or operated by more than 50% of the original ownership in a redevelopment project area, but it does
not mean closing an operation for reasons beyond the control of the retail entity, as documented by the retail entity,
subject to a reasonable finding by the municipality that the current location contained inadequate space, had become
economically obsolete, or was no longer a viable location for the retailer or serviceman.

development and resulting tax revenues as it is considered for public financing
under the provisions of the Act.
Further, the projected cost of an individual line-item as set forth below is not
intended to place a limit on the described line-item expenditure. Adjustments
may be made in line-items, either increasing or decreasing line-item costs for
redevelopment. The specific items listed below are not intended to preclude
payment of other eligible redevelopment project costs in connection with the
redevelopment of the RPA, provided the total amount of payment for eligible
redevelopment project costs (the “Total Estimated TIF Budget” in Exhibit 4) shall
not exceed the amount set forth below, as adjusted pursuant to the Act.

Notes:
(1) All project cost estimates are in 2012 dollars. Costs may be adjusted for inflation per the TIF Act.
(2) In addition to the costs identified in the exhibit above, any bonds issued to finance a phase of the Project may include
an amount sufficient to pay (a) customary and reasonable charges associated with the issuance of such obligations, (b)
interest on such bonds, and (c) capitalized interest and reasonably required reserves.
(3) Adjustments to the estimated line-item costs above are expected. Adjustments may be made in line-items within the
total, either increasing or decreasing line-items costs for redevelopment. Each individual project cost will be reevaluated
in light of the projected private development and resulting tax revenues as it is considered for public financing under the
provisions of the Act. The individual line-items set forth above are not intended to place an individual limit on the
described expenditures – provided that the total amount of payments for eligible redevelopment project costs shall not
exceed the “total estimated TIF budget” listed above.
As explained in the following sub-section, incremental property tax revenues
from any contiguous RPA may used to pay eligible costs for the Chicago/Main
TIF.
Sources of Funds to Pay Redevelopment Project Costs. Funds necessary
to pay for public improvements and other project costs eligible under the Act are
to be derived principally from incremental property tax revenues, proceeds from
253 of 657
City of Evanston – Chicago/Main TIF District Page 22
municipal obligations to be retired primarily with such revenues, and interest
earned on resources available but not immediately needed for the Plan. In
addition, pursuant to the TIF Act and this Plan, the City may utilize net
incremental property tax revenues received from other contiguous RPAs to pay
eligible redevelopment project costs or obligations issued to pay such costs in
contiguous project areas. This would include contiguous TIFs that the City may
establish in the future. (Conversely, incremental revenues from the
Chicago/Main TIF may be allocated to any contiguous TIF Districts.)
Redevelopment project costs as identified in Exhibit 4 specifically authorize those
eligible costs set forth in the Act and do not address the preponderance of the
costs to redevelop the area. The majority of development costs will be privately
financed. TIF or other public sources are to be used, subject to approval by the
City Council, only to leverage and commit private redevelopment activity.
The incremental tax revenues which will be used to pay debt service on the
municipal obligations (if any) and to directly pay redevelopment project costs
shall be the incremental increase in property taxes. The property tax increment
would be attributable to the increase in the equalized assessed value of each
taxable lot, block, tract or parcel of real property in the RPA – over and above the
initial equalized assessed value of each such lot, block, tract or parcel in the RPA
in the 2011 tax year for the RPA.
Among the other sources of funds which may be used to pay for redevelopment
project costs and debt service on municipal obligations issued to finance project
costs are the following: certain local sales or utility taxes, special service area
taxes, the proceeds of property sales, certain land lease payments, certain Motor
Fuel Tax revenues, certain state and federal grants or loans, certain investment
income, and such other sources of funds and revenues as the City may from time
to time deem appropriate.
Nature and Term of Obligations to Be Issued. The City may issue
obligations secured by the Special Tax Allocation Fund established for the
Redevelopment Project Area pursuant to the Act or such other funds as are
available to the City by virtue of its power pursuant to the Illinois State
Constitution.
Any and all obligations issued by the City pursuant to this Plan and the Act shall
be retired not more than twenty-three (23) years after the date of adoption of the
ordinance approving the RPA, or as such a later time permitted pursuant to the
Act and to the extent such obligations are reliant upon the collection of
incremental property tax revenues from the completion of the twenty-third year
of the TIF, with taxes collected in the twenty-fourth year. However, the final
maturity date of any obligations issued pursuant to the Act may not be later than
twenty (20) years from their respective date of issuance.
254 of 657
City of Evanston – Chicago/Main TIF District Page 23
One or more series of obligations may be issued from time to time in order to
implement this Plan. The total principal and interest payable in any year on all
obligations shall not exceed the amount available in that year or projected to be
available in that year. The total principal and interest may be payable from tax
increment revenues (including tax increment revenues from current or future
contiguous TIF Districts) and from bond sinking funds, capitalized interest, debt
service reserve funds, and all other sources of funds as may be provided by
ordinance.
Certain revenues may be declared as surplus funds if not required for: principal
and interest payments, required reserves, bond sinking funds, redevelopment
project costs, early retirement of outstanding securities, or facilitating the
economical issuance of additional bonds necessary to accomplish the
Redevelopment Plan. Such surplus funds shall then become available for
distribution annually to taxing districts overlapping the RPA in the manner
provided by the Act.
Securities may be issued on either a taxable or tax-exempt basis, as general
obligation or revenue bonds. Further, the securities may be offered on such
terms as the City may determine, with or without the following features:
capitalized interest; deferred principal retirement; interest rate limits (except as
limited by law); and redemption provisions. Additionally, such securities may be
issued with either fixed rate or floating interest rates.
Most Recent Equalized Assessed Valuation for the RPA. The most
recent equalized assessed valuation for the RPA is based on the 2010 EAV, and is
estimated to be approximately $3,805,406. It is anticipated the base EAV for
establishment of the RPA will be the 2011 EAV, currently estimated to be
$3,142,464. (The 2010 EAV estimate herein is to be updated when the State of
Illinois equalizer is published and values are certified.)
Anticipated Equalized Assessed Valuation for the RPA. Upon
completion of the anticipated private development of the RPA over a twenty-
three (23) year period, it is estimated that the EAV of the property within the
RPA would increase to approximately $16,000,000 to $21,000,000 depending
upon market conditions and the scope of the redevelopment projects.

VII. DESCRIPTION AND SCHEDULING OF
REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT
Redevelopment Project. The City will implement a strategy with full
consideration given to the availability of both public and private funding. It is
anticipated that a phased redevelopment will be undertaken.
The Redevelopment Project will begin as soon as the private entities have
obtained financing approvals for appropriate projects and such uses conform to
City zoning and planning requirements, or if the City undertakes redevelopment
activities pursuant to this Plan. Depending upon the scope of the development as
well as the actual uses, the following activities may be undertaken by the City:
Land Assembly and Relocation: Certain properties in the RPA may be
acquired and assembled into an appropriate redevelopment site, with
relocation costs undertaken as provided by the Act. If necessary, the City
would facilitate private acquisition through reimbursement or write-down of
related costs, including without limitation the acquisition of land needed for
construction of public improvements.
Demolition and Site Preparation: The existing improvements located within
the RPA may have to be reconfigured or prepared to accommodate new uses
or expansion plans. Demolition of certain parcels may be necessary for future
projects. Additionally, the redevelopment plan contemplates site preparation,
or other requirements including environmental remediation necessary to
prepare the site for desired redevelopment projects.
Rehabilitation: The City may assist in the rehabilitation of buildings or site
improvements located within the RPA.
Landscaping/Buffering/Streetscaping: The City may fund certain
landscaping projects, which serve to beautify public properties or rights-of-
way and provide buffering between land uses.
Water, Sanitary Sewer, Storm Sewer and Other Utility Improvements:
Certain utilities may be extended or re-routed to serve or accommodate the
new development. Upgrading of existing utilities may be undertaken. The
City may also undertake the provision of necessary detention or retention
ponds.
Roadway/Street/Parking Improvements: The City may widen and/or vacate
existing roads. Certain secondary streets/roads may be extended or
constructed. Related curb, gutter, and paving improvements could also be
constructed as needed. Parking facilities may be constructed that would be
available to the public. Utility services may also be provided or relocated in
order to accommodate redevelopment activities.
256 of 657
City of Evanston – Chicago/Main TIF District Page 25
Traffic Control/Signalization: Traffic control or signalization improvements
that improve access to the RPA and enhance its redevelopment may be
constructed.
Public Safety-Related Infrastructure: Certain public safety improvements
including, but not limited to, public signage, public facilities, and streetlights
may be constructed or implemented.
School District Costs: The payment of such costs may be provided pursuant
to the requirements of the TIF Act.
Interest Costs Coverage: The City may fund certain interest costs incurred by
a developer for construction, renovation or rehabilitation of a redevelopment
project. Such funding would be paid for out of annual tax increment revenue
generated from the RPA as allowed under the Act.
Professional Services: The City may fund necessary planning, legal,
engineering, administrative and financing costs during project
implementation. The City may reimburse itself from annual tax increment
revenue if available.
Commitment to Fair Employment Practices and Affirmative Action.
As part of any Redevelopment Agreement entered into by the City and any
private developers, both parties will agree to establish and implement an
honorable, progressive, and goal-oriented affirmative action program that serves
appropriate sectors of the City. The program will conform to the most recent City
policies and plans.
With respect to the public/private development’s internal operations, both
entities will pursue employment practices which provide equal opportunity to all
people regardless of sex, color, race, creed, or sexual orientation. Neither party
will discriminate against any employee or applicant because of sex, marital
status, national origin, age, sexual orientation, or the presence of physical
handicaps. These nondiscriminatory practices will apply to all areas of
employment, including: hiring, upgrading and promotions, terminations,
compensation, benefit programs, and education opportunities.
All those involved with employment activities will be responsible for
conformance to this policy and compliance with applicable state and federal
regulations.
The City and private developers will adopt a policy of equal employment
opportunity and will include or require the inclusion of this statement in all
contracts and subcontracts at any level. Additionally, any public/private entities
will seek to ensure and maintain a working environment free of harassment,
intimidation, and coercion at all sites, and in all facilities at which all employees
257 of 657
City of Evanston – Chicago/Main TIF District Page 26
are assigned to work. It shall be specifically ensured that all on-site supervisory
personnel are aware of and carry out the obligation to maintain such a working
environment, with specific attention to minority and/or female individuals.
Finally, the entities will utilize affirmative action to ensure that business
opportunities are provided and that job applicants are employed and treated in a
nondiscriminatory manner. Underlying this policy is the recognition by the
entities that successful affirmative action programs are important to the
continued growth and vitality of the community.
Completion of Redevelopment Project and Retirement of Obligations
to Finance Redevelopment Costs. This Redevelopment Project and
retirement of all obligations to finance redevelopment costs will be completed
within twenty-three (23) years after the adoption of an ordinance designating the
Redevelopment Project Area. The actual date for such completion and retirement
of obligations shall not be later than December 31 of the year in which the
payment to the municipal treasurer pursuant to the Act is to be made with
respect to ad valorem taxes levied in the twenty-third calendar year after the
ordinance approving the RPA is adopted.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Kane, McKenna and Associates, Inc. (KMA) has been retained by the City of Evanston,
Illinois (the “City”) to conduct an analysis of the potential qualification and designation
of certain property located in the City, to be addressed herein as the proposed
Redevelopment Project Area (the “RPA” or “TIF District”). The qualification is being
carried out pursuant to the Tax Increment Allocation Redevelopment Act, 65 ILCS 5/11-
74.4-3, et seq., as amended (the “TIF Act”).
The City is pursuing the RPA designation as part of its strategy to promote the
revitalization of the property and thereby assist the City in achieving its public policy
goal of promoting economic redevelopment. By undertaking the designation, the City
will help strengthen the RPA as a significant contributor to the City’s overall economic
base.
Based upon the preliminary analysis completed to date, KMA has reached the following
conclusions regarding the potential qualification of the RPA as a TIF District:
1) The proposed TIF District meets the criteria for a “conservation area,” as the
term is defined under the TIF Act – Overall, the parcels within the proposed TIF District
either have declined, or are in danger of declining, toward a blighted condition. This
condition prevents, or threatens to prevent, the healthy economic and physical
development of properties in a manner that the community deems essential to its
overall economic health. Because the majority of structures are over 35 years of age, the
proposed TIF District is especially vulnerable to potential physical decline and would
meet statutory criteria as a conservation area TIF.
2) Current conditions impede redevelopment – The conditions found within the
proposed TIF District present a barrier to the area’s successful redevelopment. Without
the use of City planning and economic development resources to mitigate such
conditions, potential redevelopment activities are not likely to be economically feasible.
3) Viable redevelopment sites could produce incremental revenue – Within the
proposed TIF District, there are parcels which potentially could be redeveloped or
rehabilitated and thereby produce incremental property tax revenue or other additional
revenues to the City. Such revenue, used in combination with other City resources for
redevelopment incentives or public improvements, would likely stimulate private
investment and reinvestment in these sites and ultimately throughout the TIF District.
4) Pursuit of TIF designation is recommended – To mitigate the existing conditions
(thereby promoting the improved physical condition of the proposed RPA) and to
leverage the City’s investment and redevelopment efforts, KMA recommends that the
City pursue the formal TIF designation process for the RPA.
Because the City will not pursue the redevelopment of residential parcels that could
potentially dislocate 10 or more residential units within the proposed TIF district, the
City will not conduct a housing impact study pursuant to the TIF Act.

City of Evanston – Chicago/Main TIF District Page 1
I. BACKGROUND
In the context of planning for the proposed Redevelopment Project Area, the City has
initiated a study of the area to determine whether it would potentially qualify as a TIF
District. Kane, McKenna and Associates, Inc. agreed to undertake the study of the
proposed RPA or TIF District on the City’s behalf.
Current Land Use. The proposed RPA is an area generally situated on the south side
of Main Street, near the intersection of Chicago Avenue. Most parcels are between
Chicago Avenue and Sherman Avenue, except for a vacant parcel that is at the southeast
corner of Chicago and Main.
The Chicago/Main intersection represents an important commercial district within
Evanston, and historically has served a large portion of southern Evanston residents.
Although it faces a number of redevelopment impediments, it has several unique assets
(e.g., dual train lines) that could be leveraged as part of its future redevelopment.
Overall, the area faces a number of redevelopment impediments as described in Section
IV of this report. Obsolescence, lagging equalized assessed values (EAV), and
deterioration are some of the key impediments that reduce the competitiveness of the
area.
General Redevelopment Objectives. The redevelopment of the proposed RPA is
consistent with the City’s overarching land use objectives, which are contained in the
Comprehensive Plan, zoning ordinance and other land use planning elements. In the
Comprehensive Plan adopted in 2000, the City has articulated a number of economic
development objectives which would be supported by the City’s adoption of the
proposed RPA as a TIF District. For example, a stated goal is to promote “growth and
redevelopment of businesses, commercial, and industrial areas.”
Given the gap between the City’s goals for the area versus the current conditions
described in this report, the City has determined that the redevelopment of the proposed
RPA would be highly beneficial to the community. With a redevelopment strategy in
place, the economic base of the RPA would be stabilized and increased – thereby
benefiting the community as a whole. Without such a redevelopment strategy, the
adverse conditions identified in this report would likely worsen.
General Scope and Methodology. KMA performed its analysis by conducting a
series of meetings and discussions with City staff, starting in September 2011 and
continuing periodically up to the date of this report. The purpose of the meetings was to
gather data related to the qualification criteria for properties included in the study area.
These meetings were complemented by a series of field surveys for the entire area to
evaluate the condition of the proposed RPA, on a parcel-by-parcel basis. The field
surveys and data collected have been utilized to test the likelihood that the proposed
RPA would qualify for TIF designation.

City of Evanston – Chicago/Main TIF District Page 2
The qualification factors discussed in this report would qualify the proposed RPA as a
conservation area, as the term is defined pursuant to the TIF Act.
For additional information about KMA’s data collection and evaluation methods, refer
to Section III of this report.

II. QUALIFICATION CRITERIA
With the assistance of City staff, Kane, McKenna and Associates, Inc. assessed the
proposed RPA to determine the likelihood that qualifying factors listed in the Act would
be present. The relevant provisions of the Act are cited below.
The Act sets out specific procedures which must be adhered to in designating a
redevelopment project area (RPA). By definition, a “redevelopment project area” is:
“An area designated by the municipality, which is not less in the aggregate than
1½ acres and in respect to which the municipality has made a finding that there
exist conditions which cause the area to be classified as a blighted area or a
conservation area, or a combination of both blighted areas and conservation
areas.”
Under the Act, “conservation area” means any improved or vacant area within the
boundaries of a redevelopment project area located within the territorial limits of the
municipality where certain conditions are met, as identified below.
TIF Qualification Factors for a Conservation Area. In accordance with the
Illinois TIF Act, KMA performed a two-step assessment to determine if the proposed
RPA qualified as a conservation area. First, KMA analyzed the threshold factor of age to
determine if a majority of structures were 35 years of age or older.
Secondly, the area was examined to determine if a combination of three (3) or more of
the following factors were present, each of which is (i) present, with that presence
documented to a meaningful extent so that a municipality may reasonably find that the
factor is clearly present within the intent of the Act and (ii) reasonably distributed
throughout the improved part of the redevelopment project area. Per the TIF Act, such
an area is not yet a blighted area but because of a combination of the following factors is
detrimental to the public safety, health, morals or welfare and such an area may become
a blighted area.
(A) Dilapidation. An advanced state of disrepair or neglect of necessary
repairs to the primary structural components of building or improvements in
such a combination that a documented building condition analysis determines
that major repair is required or the defects are so serious and so extensive that
the buildings must be removed.
(B) Obsolescence. The condition or process of falling into disuse. Structures
become ill-suited for the original use.
(C) Deterioration. With respect to buildings, defects include but are not
limited to, major defects in the secondary building components such as doors,
windows, porches, gutters, downspouts, and fascia. With respect to surface
improvements, that the condition of roadways, alleys, curbs, gutters, sidewalks,
276 of 657
City of Evanston – Chicago/Main TIF District Page 4
off-street parking and surface storage areas evidence deterioration, including, but
limited to, surface cracking, crumbling, potholes, depressions, loose paving
material and weeds protruding through paved surfaces.
(D) Presence of Structures Below Minimum Code Standards. All structures
that do not meet the standards of zoning, subdivision, building, fire and other
governmental codes applicable to property, but not including housing and
property maintenance codes.
(E) Illegal Use of Individual Structures. The use of structures in violation of
applicable federal, State, or local laws, exclusive of those applicable to the
presence of structures below minimum code standards.
(F) Excessive Vacancies. The presence of buildings that are unoccupied or
under-utilized and that represent an adverse influence on the area because of the
frequency, extent or duration of the vacancies.
(G) Lack of Ventilation, Light, or Sanitary Facilities. The absence of adequate
ventilation for light or air circulation in spaces or rooms without windows, or that
require the removal of dust, odor, gas, smoke or other noxious airborne
materials. Inadequate natural light and ventilation means the absence of
skylights or windows for interior spaces or rooms and improper window sizes and
amounts by room area to window area ratios. Inadequate sanitary facilities refers
to the absence or inadequacy of garbage storage and enclosure, bathroom
facilities, hot water and kitchens and structural inadequacies preventing ingress
and egress to and from all rooms and units within a building.
(H) Inadequate Utilities. Underground and overhead utilities such as storm
sewers and storm drainage, sanitary sewers, water lines and gas, telephone and
electrical services that are shown to be inadequate. Inadequate utilities are those
that are: (i) of insufficient capacity to serve the uses in the redevelopment project
area; (ii) deteriorated, antiquated, and obsolete or in disrepair; or (iii) lacking
within the redevelopment project area.
(I) Excessive Land Coverage and Overcrowding of Structures and Community
Facilities. The over-intensive use of property and the crowding of buildings and
accessory facilities onto a site. Examples of problem conditions warranting the
designation of an area as exhibiting excessive land coverage are: (i) the presence
of buildings either improperly situated on parcels or located on parcels of
inadequate size and shape in relation to present-day standards of development
for health and safety and (ii) the presence of multiple buildings on a single parcel.
For there to be a finding of excessive land coverage, these parcels must exhibit
one or more of the following conditions: insufficient provision for light and air
within or around buildings, increased threat of spread of fire due to the close
proximity of buildings, lack of adequate or proper access to a public right-of-way,
277 of 657
City of Evanston – Chicago/Main TIF District Page 5
lack of reasonably required off-street parking or inadequate provision for loading
service.
(J) Deleterious Land-Use or Layout. The existence of incompatible land-use
relationships, buildings occupied by inappropriate mixed-uses, or uses
considered to be noxious, offensive or unsuitable for the surrounding area.
(K) Environmental Clean-Up. The proposed redevelopment project area has
incurred Illinois Environmental Protection Agency or United States
Environmental Protection Agency remediation costs for (or a study conducted by
an independent consultant recognized as having expertise in environmental
remediation has determined a need for) the clean-up of hazardous waste,
hazardous substances or underground storage tanks required by State or federal
law. Any such remediation costs would constitute a material impediment to the
development or redevelopment of the redevelopment project area.
(L) Lack of Community Planning. The proposed redevelopment project area was
developed prior to or without the benefit or guidance of a community plan. This
means that the development occurred prior to the adoption by the municipality of
a comprehensive or other community plan or that the plan was not followed at
the time of the area’s development. This factor must be documented by evidence
of adverse or incompatible land-use relationships, inadequate street layout,
improper subdivision, parcels of inadequate shape and size to meet
contemporary development standards or other evidence demonstrating an
absence of effective community planning.
(M) “Stagnant” EAV. The total equalized assessed value of the proposed
redevelopment project area has declined for three (3) of the last five (5) calendar
years, or is increasing at an annual rate that is less than the balance of the
municipality for three (3) of the last five (5) calendar years, or is increasing at an
annual rate that is less than the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers
published by the United States Department of Labor or successor agency for
three (3) of the last five (5) calendar years. The finding is based on the last 5
years for which information is available.

III. EVALUATION METHODOLOGY
In evaluating the proposed RPA’s potential qualification as a TIF District, the following
methodology was utilized:
1) Site surveys of the RPA were undertaken by representatives from Kane, McKenna
and Associates, Inc., supplemented with photographic analysis of the sites. Site
surveys were completed for each parcel of land within the proposed RPA.
2) KMA conducted evaluations of exterior structures and associated site
improvements, noting such conditions as overcrowding and obsolescence.
Additionally, KMA reviewed the following data: 2005-2011 tax information from
Cook County, Sidwell parcel tax maps, aerial photos, site data, local history
(including discussions with City staff), and an evaluation of area-wide factors that
have affected the area's development (e.g., lack of community planning,
deleterious land-use and layout, etc.).
3) Existing structures and site conditions were initially surveyed only in the context
of checking, to the best and most reasonable extent available, TIF Act factors
applicable to specific structures and site conditions of the parcels.
4) The RPA was examined to assess the applicability of the different factors required
for qualification as a TIF district. Examination was made by reviewing the
information and determining how each measured when evaluated against the
relevant factors. The RPA was evaluated to determine the applicability of the
thirteen (13) different factors, as defined under the Act, which would qualify the
area as a TIF district.

IV. QUALIFICATION FINDINGS FOR PROPOSED RPA
Based upon KMA’s preliminary evaluation of parcels in the proposed RPA and analysis
of each of the eligibility factors summarized in Section II, the following factors are
presented to support qualification of the proposed RPA as a conservation area under the
TIF Act. These factors are summarized in the table below.

• Lack of Community Planning
• Deterioration
Findings for RPA. The proposed RPA meets the qualifications for a conservation area
under the statutory criteria set forth in the TIF Act. As a first step, KMA determined
that 8 of 11 structures (73%) were 35 years in age or older (no County Assessor age data
was available for the Metra and CTA Station and it was therefore assumed to be under
35 years in age). Secondly, KMA reviewed the 13 aforementioned criteria needed to
qualify the area as a conservation area, determining that 6 factors were present:
1. Lagging or Declining EAV. The EAV of the TIF District has grown at a rate slower
than the City-wide EAV for 3 of the last 5 years (refer to chart below). Therefore, a
finding of lagging EAV is made pursuant to the TIF Act. Although EAV declines were
reversed in 2010 (attributable in part to the triennial re-assessment), the area as a whole
still meets the statutory requirement that in 3 or more years EAV lags City-wide EAV
growth rates. Furthermore, TIF District 2011 EAV valuations, although not finalized,
are estimated to be 17% lower than the 2010 valuations. As a result, it is expected that
the EAV of the TIF District will have lagged the Consumer Price Index for 3 of the past 5
years, which further supports the finding of lagging EAV under the TIF Act.
It should be noted that one property (Vogue) accounts for nearly all of the EAV increase
in 2010. This property, along with others, experienced reversals in EAV for 2011 (as
mentioned, 2011 valuations are not yet finalized).

2. Inadequate Utilities. The Act states that overhead or underground utilities that are
deteriorated, antiquated, obsolete or in disrepair are considered inadequate. Also, those
utilities that lack the capacity to meet future development demands are considered
inadequate. Utilities would include: storm sewers, storm drainage, sanitary sewers,
water lines and gas, telephone and electrical services.
Based on the City’s Director of Utilities analysis from December 2011, the existing public
utilities in the area are antiquated and obsolete, and certain components reflect
deterioration/disrepair. In particular, aged water mains and combined sewers in the
public right-of-way demonstrate obsolescence and require repair. The Director of
Utilities’ analysis demonstrates the following conditions:
- The combined sewer system is generally inadequate, due to age (over 100 years
old) and use of obsolete materials (brick and clay tile);
- Water and sanitary sewer for certain components need replacement, including
the 12-inch water main along Main Street; obsolete cast iron is still in use; and
- Materials such as brick, cast iron, and clay tile are obsolete, because modern
materials such as PVC pipe, ductile iron and reinforced concrete are now the
industry standard.
According the Director of Utilities, the modern materials are more durable and less
likely to fail.
3. Obsolescence. The Act states that obsolescence is the condition or process of falling
into disuse or structures that have become ill-suited for their original use. Overall, the
RPA exhibits both functional and economic obsolescence.
Obsolescence is manifested in part by the lagging EAV. As mentioned, the EAV has
lagged the City EAV growth rate and (on a preliminary basis) the CPI for 3 of the past 5
years. Additionally, there is obsolescence in terms of the age of structures, related
281 of 657
City of Evanston – Chicago/Main TIF District Page 9
deterioration, deleterious layout (see finding 3 below), and parking deficiencies. As
mentioned, more than 50% of the parcels are over 35 years in age; in fact (per Cook
County Assessor data) the majority of said parcels exceed 60 years in age. Five
buildings are over 100 years old and appear not to be modified to implement
modernization of retail/office building design (e.g., wider store fronts, higher ceilings,
loading bays, multi-story layouts, etc.). The largest structure (Vogue) also exhibits
obsolescence due to the fact that it represents four separate buildings that were merged
or retrofitted to create one building. The structures that comprise Vogue were not
developed with the intention of being combined into one store (the largest of the Vogue
assemblage was originally a grocery store) and therefore exhibit obsolescence.
With respect to parking, there is a limited amount of on-street and off-street parking
(the area has no parking garages whereas downtown Evanston has multiple parking
structures), high demand given the need to accommodate both shoppers and
commuters taking the Metra and CTA trains, and parking ingress/egress deficiencies.
The parking configuration by the Metra station is problematic since it requires access
down a narrow alley, and egress is difficult as well.
Certain utilities are also obsolete in terms of current condition and future use. As noted
above, outmoded material such as cast iron are still in place, despite the fact that more
modern materials are now preferred. As stated in the Director of Utilities analysis,
newer sections of water main “are built with ductile iron which is a stronger material
and less brittle than its predecessor.”
4. Deleterious Layout. As noted in Section II, a municipality can make a finding of
deleterious layout or land use when there exists either (a) incompatible land-use
relationships, (b) buildings occupied by inappropriate mixed-uses or uses considered to
be noxious, or (c) uses offensive or unsuitable for the surrounding area. Most of the
problems in the area reflect incompatible land use relationships. The area reflects
piece-meal, uncoordinated development, in which competing land uses abut each other
-- e.g., commercial uses (such as the Vogue fabric store) are situated next to single-
family residential uses outside the TIF District.
KMA observed the following indicators of deleterious land-use/layout:
• Ingress and egress are problematic – It is difficult for cars to exit leaving the Metra
parking area (north of Main Street) and then turning east (into traffic), and difficult
to enter the parking area since it requires a “tight” turn into a narrow alley besides a
train trestle. The ingress/egress problems are exacerbated by the fact that Main
Street and Chicago Avenue are higher-traffic arterial roads (compared to local
surface streets), as well as the physical layout of the Metra parking area (also used
after hours for theater). Per the Illinois Department of Transportation, the average
daily vehicle count in this area of the City is 23,800 and 4,300 for Chicago Avenue
and Main Street, respectively.
• Minimal buffering between residential and non-residential uses – In particular, the
westernmost parcels are situated directly against residences, with minimal or no
282 of 657
City of Evanston – Chicago/Main TIF District Page 10
landscape buffering or fencing; although in older, “inner ring” suburbs residential
and non-residential uses are often situated next to each other, the lack of buffering is
nonetheless a factor under the TIF Act that demonstrates deleterious layout and
incompatible uses (by comparison, a redeveloped site such as the Walgreens on
Main/Dodge has landscape buffers and tall fencing to create such a buffer between it
and the adjacent residences).
• Limited parking – Unlike other commercial districts in Evanston, there is no parking
garage to serve a dual use of parking for shoppers and commuters taking either the
CTA or Metra. Despite the parking on the north side of Main Street (outside the TIF
boundaries), overall parking is limited and tends to spill over into residential areas.
The Metra parking is limited essentially to two narrow alleys: the primary area north
of Main Street is a narrow alley that aside from serving as right-of-way is an ad-hoc
parking area (not originally designed as a high capacity commuter parking lot) and a
similar area south of Main Street for handicapped use.
• Loading and unloading – Because of very limited space along Main Street, the
loading and unloading by suppliers is difficult to execute from the front, and access
from the rear is problematic since there is no dedicated loading area (it is also a
parking area for employees and shoppers). Also, the access point to the rear
parking/loading area is narrow and difficult to navigate.
In summary, considerations of such land use planning concepts as adequate building
setbacks, landscape buffering between uses, the need for adequate loading/unloading
and sufficient parking were not considerations when the majority of the proposed RPA
was developed (over 100 years ago, for most structures).
5. Lack of Community Planning. According to the Act, an area suffers from a lack of
community planning if the area was developed prior to, or without the benefit of, a
community plan. This factor must be documented by evidence of adverse or
incompatible land-use relationships, inadequate street layout, improper subdivision,
overcrowded parcels, parcels of inadequate shape and size to meet contemporary
development standards, or other evidence demonstrating an absence of effective
community planning.
The City did not have a comprehensive plan in place during the time period that the area
was developed: the majority of the area developed over 100 years ago (based on Cook
County Assessor building age data), in the absence of any municipal comprehensive
planning process to guide development. By comparison, the first municipal
comprehensive plan was adopted in 1972 (City staff indicated a “Plan of Evanston” was
adopted in 1917 but did not constitute a modern plan detailing land uses nor did it
provide a map of land uses).
The area’s lack of community planning is evidenced by the land use problems identified
in sub-section 3 above. In particular, parking issues, lack of buffering between
residential and commercial areas, and poor ingress/egress reflect the historical piece-
meal, uncoordinated development that occurred along Main Street.
283 of 657
City of Evanston – Chicago/Main TIF District Page 11
In addition to the existing land use deficiencies, there are certain impediments for
future redevelopment. In particular, parcels are of inadequate shape and size to meet
contemporary development standards. For example, to attract modern retailers would
necessitate the assembly of parcels to create a larger “footprint” for redevelopment,
greater depth, and the requisite space for the efficient, safe routing of vehicular traffic.
These indicators all reinforce the fact that the area was developed without benefit of a
modern, comprehensive community plan.
In summary, modern development of the improved areas within the TIF District should
discourage the mixing of conflicting land-uses without sufficient land platting, provide
buffers between commercial and residential areas, establish appropriate land
development ratios (e.g., floor area ratios), and set other restrictions to prevent
problems that arise out of incompatible uses.
6. Deterioration. As noted in Section II, “deterioration” under the TIF Act is defined to
include deteriorated surface improvements or structures (specifically evidenced by
surface cracking, crumbling, potholes, depressions, loose paving material and weeds).
Various degrees of deterioration were observed throughout the proposed TIF District.
Much of the observed deterioration centered around the condition of surface
improvements such as the alleys and parking lot behind the stores located on Main
Street as well as the alley and sidewalks adjacent to the vacant lot at the southeastern
corner of Main/Chicago. These surface improvements had multiple potholes, uneven
pavement and cracks. Weed growth was observed in these areas and among the
sidewalks on Custer Avenue.
In addition, the Metra train trestle was extremely rusted and appears to require
corrective maintenance. The main supports show deterioration from rust and
surrounding concrete is missing large pieces, exposing more metal supports. In
contrast, the CTA train trestle was recently replaced and is in comparatively good
condition. There was a similar dichotomy with the train stations: the CTA station was
in disrepair whereas the Metra station was recently rehabbed (e.g., newer roof).
Buildings were mixed: generally storefronts exteriors appeared to be in adequate
physical condition, but the rear of buildings evidenced deterioration (e.g., need for
repainting, tuckpointing, and maintenance of two-story balconies (some wood was bare
and warping for example)).

V. SUMMARY OF FINDINGS; GENERAL ASSESSMENT OF
QUALIFICATION
The following is a summary of relevant qualification findings as it relates to the City
potentially designating the proposed RPA as a TIF District.
• The area is contiguous and is greater than 1½ acres in size;
• The proposed RPA meets the criteria for a conservation area TIF District, if the
City pursues this course of action. The qualifying factors found in the proposed
RPA are present to a meaningful extent and are evenly distributed throughout the
proposed RPA. A more detailed analysis of the qualification findings is outlined
in Section IV of this report;
• All property in the area would substantially benefit by the proposed
redevelopment project improvements;
• The sound growth of taxing districts applicable to the area, including the City, has
been impaired by the factors found present in the area; and
• The area would not be subject to redevelopment without the investment of public
funds, including property tax increment.
In the judgment of KMA, these preliminary findings support the case for the City to
initiate a formal process to consider the proposed RPA as a TIF District.

Ordinance 65-O-12: Amendment to Title 3, “Hotel-Motel Tax”
For Introduction
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
Administration and Public Works Committee
From: Martin Lyons, Assistant City Manager/Chief Financial Officer
Subject: Ordinance 65-O-12 Technical Amendment to Hotel-Motel Tax Ordinance
Date: June 1, 2012
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends adoption of Ordinance 65-O-12, amending Ordinance 28-O-73, an
ordinance establishing the Hotel Tax. This Ordinance was originally adopted with the
provision that hotel taxes would be deposited into the City’s General Fund. In 2000-01
as part of the Annual Budget approval these funds were moved to the Economic
Development Fund. This amendment will update the City Code to equal current
practice.
Summary:
The Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement 54 (GASB 54) provides
guidance on the necessary Council commitments to be passed for the direction and use
of City revenues. This revenue commitment also establishes the classification of our
given fund categories. In this case, the Economic Development Fund is classified as a
Special Revenue Fund, because it derives funding from revenue specified for the
mission of the fund. During the annual review of the City’s finances, our auditors from
Baker, Tilly, Virchow, Krause (BTVK), noted that the Economic Development Fund and
Hotel Tax were not properly defined such that the Economic Development Fund could
be designated as a special revenue fund under GASB 54. Please note that this GASB
statement did not exist in 2000-01 when Hotel Tax revenues were moved to the
Economic Development Fund.
Staff agrees with, and appreciates the work of BTVK in making this comment. A copy of
the revised ordinance is attached.

Ordinance 51-O-12: Prohibiting Parking During Certain Hours on Davis Street
For Action
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
Administration & Public Works Committee
From: Martin Lyons, Assistant City Manager/CFO
Rickey A. Voss, Parking/Revenue Manager
Subject: Ordinance 51-O-12 Amending Title 10, Motor Vehicles and Traffic,
Chapter 11, Traffic Schedules, Section 9, Prohibited Parking During
Certain Hours, Schedule IX-(NN), and adding Schedule IX-(OO) of the
Evanston City Code
Date: May 22, 2012
Recommended Action:
The Transportation/Parking Committee and staff recommend that the City Council
approve Ordinance 51-O-12 amending Title 10, Motor Vehicles and Traffic, Chapter 11,
Traffic Schedules, Section 9, Prohibited Parking During Certain Hours, Schedule IX-
(NN), of the Evanston City Code, to delete Davis Street, Both Sides, Oak Avenue to
Hinman Avenue and add Davis Street, Both Sides, Hinman Avenue to Chicago Avenue
and Davis Street, Both Sides, Sherman Avenue to Oak Avenue. In addition add
Schedule IX-(OO), Davis Street, Both Sides, Chicago Avenue to Sherman Avenue,
Three o'clock (3:00) A.M. to Five o'clock (5:00) A.M. daily, no exceptions. This
ordinance was introduced at the May 29, 2012 City Council meeting.
Summary:
In October 2011, staff was contacted by Alderman Wilson on parking issues
surrounding the opening of the Tru Fit Gym, 610 Davis Street. Clients of the gym were
finding it difficult to park on Davis Street in order to visit the gym prior to 6 a.m. Parking
is currently prohibited from 3 a.m. – 6 a.m. and it was recommended that the prohibition
be amended to 3 a.m. – 5 a.m.
On February 6, 2012, staff met with Suzette Robinson, Director of Public Works, to
discuss if the suggested change would have an adverse impact on street sweeping
efforts in the 600 block of Davis. Ms. Robinson agreed to the time change. Ms.
Robinson added that in order to insure that special clean-ups, such as snow after a
declared emergency has ended, going forward we consider limiting such changes as
the time window for these additional clean-ups are restricted to the hours of 3 a.m.–
6 a.m. and 3 a.m. – 5 a.m. and may have an affect on operations.
On March 28, 2012, the Transportation/Parking Committee recommended approval of
the time change.

Subject: Dempster Dodge TIF District Designation
Date: June 4, 2012
Recommended Action:
Staff recommend City Council adoption of the following ordinances to designate the
proposed Dempster Dodge TIF District as outlined in the state statute 65 ILCS 5/11-
74.4 – Tax Increment Allocation Redevelopment Act. These ordinances were introduced
at the May 29, 2012 City Council meeting.
(A18) Ordinance 55-O-12 Approving a Tax Increment Redevelopment Plan and
Redevelopment Project for the Dempster/Dodge Redevelopment area (“TIF Plan”)
(A19) Ordinance 56-O-12 Designating the Dempster/Dodge Redevelopment Project
Area of the City of Evanston a Redevelopment Project Area Pursuant to the Tax
Increment Allocation Redevelopment Act (“TIF District”)
(A20) Ordinance 57-O-12 Adopting Tax Increment Allocation Financing for the
Dempster/Dodge Redevelopment Project Area
Background
As summarized in the attached Redevelopment Plan, the City has two fundamental
goals in pursuing the designation of the Dempster/Dodge TIF District. The first is to
promote redevelopment of the area to improve occupancy levels at Evanston Plaza
(one of the largest retail establishments in Evanston) in coordination with a new owner.
The second goal is to further the City’s overall economic development program and
thereby diversify and expand its tax base. The designation of a TIF district is now under
consideration to help facilitate the attraction of quality businesses to reoccupy the
vacant spaces in the near term. Longer term, the TIF could be used to leverage a more
significant redevelopment of the site subject to market conditions and community
planning processes.
Memorandum
For City Council meeting of June 11, 2012 Items A18 to A20
Ordinances Designating the Proposed Dempster Dodge TIF District
For Action
318 of 657
The proposed Dempster/Dodge TIF District area is composed of a single parcel,
shopping center located at the southwest corner of the intersection of Dempster Street
and Dodge Avenue. (See Attachment “A”) Evanston Plaza was initially developed in
1987 on the site of a former metal plating industrial site. At first, the shopping center
experienced some success with anchors that included Frank’s Nursery & Crafts,
Fretters, and Phar-Mor. All three of these companies eventually went out of business,
resulting in the closing of their operations at Evanston Plaza. As anchor tenants left the
center, small store tenancy struggled as well.
Joseph Freed & Associates (“Freed”) bought the center in 1998 for $5.9 million. Freed’s
redevelopment included the renovation of a portion of a former Office Depot store and
the entirety of a former Toys“R”Us store into a 57,950 square foot Dominick’s grocery
store. Other improvements to the property included installation of additional
landscaping, improving the lighting, resurfacing of the parking lot, and adding new pylon
signs. Freed also incurred significant environmental remediation costs in the southwest
corner of the parking lot to address existing soil contamination issues.
An additional 19,211 square foot “out” building was built on the northeast corner of the
site in 2002. By October 2009, however, Bank of America declared Freed in default on
its loan for the shopping center, and the property was placed in the care of a court-
appointed receiver. In December 2010, TJX, the parent company of AJ Wright
announced that it would be closing local stores, including its Evanston Plaza location,
by mid-February of 2011 – contributing to the continuing increased vacancy rate at this
site. In December 2011, the shopping center was purchased by Bonnie Management
and WHI Real Estate Partners LLC for $8.1 million.
Despite its location at the busy intersection of Dodge and Dempster, this shopping
center has faced chronic vacancies over the last decade. The parcel is of strategic
importance to the City of Evanston, and particularly the west side community in terms of
retail sales tax, jobs, neighborhood convenience, and quality of life.
With the recent acquisition of the property by Bonnie Management, there is a committed
private sector partner in place to foster the revitalization of this shopping center. The
designation of a TIF district is now under consideration to help facilitate the attraction of
quality businesses to reoccupy the vacant spaces in the near term. Longer term, the
TIF could be used to leverage a more significant redevelopment of the site subject to
market conditions and community planning processes.
Summary
Overview of Public Hearing
The City of Evanston convened a public hearing for the proposed Dempster/Dodge TIF
District on May 14, 2012. The public hearing was designed to allow for public comment
on the draft City of Evanston TIF Redevelopment Plan Dempster/Dodge TIF District, on
file with the City Clerk. (See plan attached to Ordinance 55-0-12)
After opening of the public hearing by the Mayor, the City’s TIF consultants, Kane
McKenna Associates (KMA) explained the summary of public notices and conformance
with the TIF Act requirements for the public hearing. This was followed by a report by
Alderman Tendam, the Chairman of Joint Review Board, on their April 12, 2012 public
319 of 657
hearing and subsequent recommendation. (See Attachment “B”). The City Clerk
reported that no written comments were received.
Following these brief reports, KMA and City staff provided a more detailed overview of
the draft Dempster/Dodge TIF Plan. The City Council asked several questions –
specifically seeking additional information on the eligibility findings and asking for
examples of any similar TIF Districts that: 1) include a single parcel/owner and 2)
support revitalization of an existing use versus redevelopment activities associated with
a change of use. Members of the City Council also expressed disappointment that the
TIF report was not necessarily a “plan” for catalyzing development on the west side, but
instead was more of “tool” for redevelopment. The follow section and attached report
from KMA provide responses to these specific questions and concerns.
Prior to the close of the hearing, the Mayor called for public comments; only one person
signed up to speak, an Evanston resident who expressed his opposition to the Plan and
TIF District.
Supplemental Information from Public Hearing
As mentioned above, the City Council requested KMA and staff:
• Provide more specific information about the eligibility findings (e.g. deleterious
layout, inadequate utilities) for the proposed TIF designation;
• Identify other examples of single parcel/owner TIF Districts, which support
revitalization of an existing use versus redevelopment activities associated with
a change of use. and
• Provide more explanation as to why the TIF Plan lacks an action plan for
catalyzing development on the west side.
In response to these questions, KMA has provided a supplemental memorandum that
responds to the questions/concerns raised at the public hearing (Attachment “C”). Staff
has summarized their response and provided some additional information as follows:
Summary of TIF Factors and Redevelopment Area
As required by the TIF Act, five eligibility factors are needed to qualify the area as
“blighted.” KMA determined that six factors are present at the Dempster/Dodge site: 1)
lagging EAV; 2) Excessive Vacancies; 3) Obsolescence; 4) Deleterious land use/layout;
5) Environmental Remediation; and 6) Inadequate Utilities. KMA’s attached response
summarizes the TIF statute language, and the data supporting the findings. Data was
obtained from city staff, engineers, Cook County Assessor, and current owners.
The City Council requested specific information about the inadequate utilities findings.
According to Dave Stonebeck, Director of Utilities, the 700 feet of 36-inch diameter brick
sewer on Dodge Avenue from Dempster to Crain is over 100 years old and therefore
constituted as antiquated under the TIF statute.
The conditions resulting in the Obsolescence and Deleterious land use / layout factors
are not as easily quantifiable with data, but are based on professional experience and
field work. It is evident that the shopping center as a whole is of a size that puts it in an
“in between” category. It serves as a neighborhood shopping center, but has the
320 of 657
square footage of a larger community shopping center. Given the current retail trends,
particularly with larger regional and national retailers, this factor puts the center at a
disadvantage when corporate site selectors evaluate locations – this is one factor that
contributes to both its market obsolescence and its deleterious layout.
According to the International Council of Shopping Centers (Attachment “D”), a
neighborhood shopping center is typically a straight-line strip, anchored by a
supermarket supported by stores offering health related products, pharmaceuticals,
snacks, and personal services. This type of center is in the range of 30,000 to 150,000
sq ft. A community shopping center on the other hand is typically L shaped, in the
range of 100,000 to 350,000 sq ft, and has two or more anchors. The community
shopping center has a three to six mile trade area, while a neighborhood center draws
from up to three miles.
The trade area is relevant because a number of new shopping centers have opened
and/or expanded since the Evanston Plaza shopping center opened in 1987. For
example, both the Howard Hartrey shopping center and Main Street Commons opened,
Old Orchard has expanded and remodeled and Downtown Evanston has become a
significant retail and restaurant draw. Lincolnwood Town Center was also remodeled
during this timeframe. These shopping centers are all well within the Dempster/Dodge
trade area.
Evanston Plaza also has a number of larger spaces (i.e. “big box” / “medium box”) that
are harder to lease in this competitive trade area. The trend nationally is a shrinking
overall store footprint, partially driven by the growth of internet-based retailing. The
tenants also need modernized/updated upgraded utilities.
The modified L shape of the shopping center provides poor sightlines from Dempster
and Dodge to the storefronts in the southwest corner of the property. These represents
the obsolescence, but is also reflects the deleterious nature of the layout. Other
deleterious aspects are also present. The construction of the 19,000 sq. ft. outlot
building further impedes the views to the retailers in the southwest corner of the site.
Due to the site layout, ingress and egress for loading along the west and south of the
property is difficult in a tight space – trucks need to perform a tight “S” turn to unload
goods to the businesses at the southwest corner. Further, the trucks leaving the
shopping center, to head south on Dodge, are also forced to navigate through a narrow
area at the southern perimeter of the site. Finally, specifically related to ingress/egress,
it is difficult for both patrons to execute a left turn from the parking lot onto Dempster
and trucks leaving the shopping center from the alley , westbound, while avoiding
pedestrians and patrons of the shopping center.
Sample Single Parcel/Single User TIF Districts
KMA conducted research in response to the City Council’s questions about the
perceived unusual nature of a proposed TIF District established for a single parcel,
which does not immediately anticipate change of use. Attached is a table summarizing
Kane McKenna’s findings. (Attached “E”)
321 of 657
As demonstrated by these examples, it is not uncommon in the Chicago area to utilize
TIF to in the way proposed for Dempster Dodge. In all cases, as is required by the state
statute, the TIF districts were created based on the “but for” test. If not for the creation
of the TIF districts, the revitalization of the properties would not occur.
The Dempster Dodge TIF district is proposed for the same reason. Without the use of
the TIF financing, the revitalization of the center with the types of tenants that will
maximize the property value, taxes, and/or job creation will not occur. Pressure from
competing shopping centers within Evanston Plaza’s trade area – which are modern
and/or currently have a more secure complementary retail base – will continually result
in high vacancies in this shopping center or, perhaps re-tenanting of the spaces with
non-retail or low-level uses. This will not create the retail/service mix demanded by
area residents, nor will it drive increased property or sales tax revenues.
TIF Plan vs. Comprehensive/Neighborhood Plans
In response to the City Council’s concerns about the lack of specificity in the plan, it is
important to point out that TIF is an economic development tool and not a plan in and of
itself. The TIF Redevelopment Plan is technical in nature based on specific state
statute requirements and, as such, is designed to serve as a general guideline,
providing the City flexibility in the redevelopment process over the life of the TIF (23
years). TIF Redevelopment Plans are designed to be a framework plan because there
are too many unknown factors – market conditions, change in property ownership,
changing interest rates/banking priorities, etc. – that can impact redevelopment
opportunities, challenges, and priorities over the 23 year timeframe. The format of the
TIF plan is guided by specific technical requirements identified in the State of Illinois TIF
statute and doesn’t necessarily reflect the style of plans decision makers and/or
members of the public are accustomed to.
However, staff recognizes the importance of supplementing the TIF Plan and resulting
TIF financing proposals with: 1) Area or corridor studies specific to Dempster/Dodge
Plaza and/or Dodge Street corridor; 2) Linkages to the City’s Comprehensive Plan; 3)
Conformance with zoning and/or other City codes (signage, landscaping, etc.); 4)
Community input; and 5) Redevelopment agreements with the property owner that
balance the developer’s proposed redevelopment plans with the City’s goals and
priorities. TIF financing can leverage the efforts identified in these plans.
The futures of Evanston Plaza and the surrounding area are inextricably linked.
Revitalization of the shopping center can only happen if there is congruent revitalization
of the adjacent business area. Therefore, the revitalization efforts for Evanston Plaza
should include the surrounding area – particularly the areas within the West Evanston
TIF. In order to fully leverage this economic development tool, it must be used
comprehensively, across the entire business area.
Legislative History:
April 12, 2012 and the Joint Review Board unanimously approved an advisory, non-
binding recommendation to the City Council to adopt a resolution designating the
Dempster Dodge Redevelopment Plan and Redevelopment Project. The City Council
fulfilled the obligations of the TIF Act by convening a public hearing on May 14, 2012.

**Trend in retail toward smaller footprint / scaled down layout and space requirements
It is also important to note that although the TIF property is “stand alone,” it is adjacent to and contiguous
with the West Evanston TIF District. Portions of the West Evanston TIF and the Evanston Plaza will
most likely share similar redevelopment goals and objectives in relation to the community (retail and
service use improvements, job creation, and infrastructure coordination) and surrounding uses along
Dempster. The size of the shopping center (200,000+ s.f.) and its prominent location at the intersection
do call attention to its importance in the City’s economy and to the community.

III. Dempster/Dodge TIF Review - Summary Response to City Council Questions
1. TIF Plan and City Plans for Redevelopment
In response to questions relating to the specificity of the TIF plan and proposed
redevelopment uses, it is important to note that:
a) The TIF plan could be in place over a maximum term of 23 years (with a final collection in
the 24th year);
b) Substantive amendments to the plan require procedural steps that are equivalent to steps
involved in designating the TIF (Joint Review Board (JRB) meeting, public hearing, all legal
notices, etc.);
c) The TIF plan does not replace or supersede normal City planning and entitlement processes,
rather the TIF plan serves primarily as financing tool to assist in redevelopment. The TIF Act
sets forth certain parameters/provisions that must be in the TIF plan, but the City has the
ability to tailor the plan to local needs.
As a result, the TIF plan as drafted serves primarily as an “envelope” or “umbrella” in order to allow
the City flexibility in the redevelopment process, which is expected to take place over time, including
potential changing market conditions and interest rates. The City could supplement the TIF plan with
the following processes and inputs:
a) Area or corridor studies specific to the Dempster/Dodge or West Evanston market area;
b) Linkages to the City’s Comprehensive Plan;
c) Conformance with zoning and/or other City codes (signage, landscaping, etc.);
d) Establishment of a TIF Policy (or economic development policy) that establishes a City wide
decision framework for the provision of TIF based (or other) incentives to private developers
and property owners;
e) Review of the developer’s proposed plan redevelopment including any City input relating to
provisions for City TIF assistance; and
f) Community input.
The TIF budget and uses set forth in the plan are only general guidelines. The actual
utilization of TIF monies is dependent upon the review by the City Council of specific items
to be funded and the approval of a redevelopment agreement(s) regarding redevelopment that
are consistent inputs described above.
As a result, the actual implementation “plan” for redevelopment is dependent on a number of
inputs and would be expected to evolve over the next several months.

ICSC SHOPPING CENTER DEFINITIONS
Basic Configurations and Types
The term “shopping center” has been evolving since the early 1950s. Given the
maturity of the industry, numerous types of centers currently exist that go beyond
the standard definitions. Industry nomenclature originally offered four basic
terms: neighborhood, community, regional, and superregional centers.
However, as the industry has grown and changed, more types of centers have
evolved and these four classifications are no longer adequate. The International
Council of Shopping Centers has defined eight principal shopping center types,
shown in the accompanying table.
The definitions, and in particular the table that accompanies the text, are meant
to be guidelines for understanding major differences between the basic types of
shopping centers. Several of the categories shown in the table, such as size,
number of anchors, and trade area, should be interpreted as "typical" for each
center type. They are not meant to encompass the operating characteristics of
every center. As a general rule, the main determinants in classifying a center
are its merchandise orientation (types of goods/services sold) and its size.
It is not always possible to precisely classify every center. A hybrid center may
combine elements from two or more basic classifications, or a center's concept
may be sufficiently unusual as to preclude it from fitting into one of the eight
generalized definitions presented here.
There are other types of centers that are not separately defined here but
nonetheless are a part of the industry. Some can be considered subsegments of
one of the larger, defined groups, perhaps created to satisfy a particular niche
market. One example would be the convenience center, among the smallest of
centers, whose tenants provide a narrow mix of goods and personal services to
a very limited trade area. A typical anchor would be a convenience store like 7-
Eleven or other mini-mart. At the other end of the size spectrum are super off-
price malls that consist of a large variety of value-oriented retailers, including
factory outlet stores, department store close-out outlets, and category killers in
an enclosed megamall (up to 2 million square feet) complex. Other smaller
subsegments of the industry include vertical, downtown, off-price, home
improvement, and car care centers. The trend toward differentiation and
segmentation will continue to add new terminology as the industry matures.
SHOPPING CENTER: A group of retail and other commercial establishments
that is planned, developed, owned and managed as a single property. On-site
parking is provided. The center's size and orientation are generally determined
by the market characteristics of the trade area served by the center. The two
main configurations of shopping centers are malls and open-air strip centers.

BASIC CONFIGURATIONS
Mall: Malls typically are enclosed, with a climate-controlled walkway between
two facing strips of stores. The term represents the most common design mode
for regional and superregional centers and has become an informal term for
these types of centers.
Strip center: A strip center is an attached row of stores or service outlets
managed as a coherent retail entity, with on-site parking usually located in front
of the stores. Open canopies may connect the storefronts, but a strip center
does not have enclosed walkways linking the stores. A strip center may be
configured in a straight line, or have an "L" or "U" shape.
SHOPPING CENTER TYPES
Neighborhood Center: This center is designed to provide convenience
shopping for the day-to-day needs of consumers in the immediate neighborhood.
According to ICSC's SCORE publication, roughly half of these centers are
anchored by a supermarket, while about a third have a drugstore anchor. These
anchors are supported by stores offering pharmaceuticals and health-related
products, sundries, snacks and personal services. A neighborhood center is
usually configured as a straight-line strip with no enclosed walkway or mall area,
although a canopy may connect the storefronts.
Community Center: A community center typically offers a wider range of
apparel and other soft goods than the neighborhood center does. Among the
more common anchors are supermarkets, super drugstores, and discount
department stores. Community center tenants sometimes contain off-price
retailers selling such items as apparel, home improvement/furnishings, toys,
electronics or sporting goods. The center is usually configured as a strip, in a
straight line, or “L” or “U” shape. Of the eight center types, community centers
encompass the widest range of formats. For example, certain centers that are
anchored by a large discount department store refer to themselves as discount
centers. Others with a high percentage of square footage allocated to off-price
retailers can be termed off-price centers.
Regional Center: This center type provides general merchandise (a large
percentage of which is apparel) and services in full depth and variety. Its main
attractions are its anchors: traditional, mass merchant, or discount department
stores or fashion specialty stores. A typical regional center is usually enclosed
with an inward orientation of the stores connected by a common walkway and
parking surrounds the outside perimeter.

Printed in the U.S.A.
Superregional Center: Similar to a regional center, but because of its larger
size, a superregional center has more anchors, a deeper selection of
merchandise, and draws from a larger population base. As with regional
centers, the typical configuration is as an enclosed mall, frequently with
multilevels.
Fashion/Specialty Center: A center composed mainly of upscale apparel
shops, boutiques and craft shops carrying selected fashion or unique
merchandise of high quality and price. These centers need not be anchored,
although sometimes restaurants or entertainment can provide the draw of
anchors. The physical design of the center is very sophisticated, emphasizing a
rich decor and high quality landscaping. These centers usually are found in
trade areas having high income levels.
Power Center: A center dominated by several large anchors, including discount
department stores, off-price stores, warehouse clubs, or "category killers," i.e.,
stores that offer tremendous selection in a particular merchandise category at
low prices. The center typically consists of several freestanding (unconnected)
anchors and only a minimum amount of small specialty tenants.
Theme/Festival Center: These centers typically employ a unifying theme that is
carried out by the individual shops in their architectural design and, to an extent,
in their merchandise. The biggest appeal of these centers is to tourists; they can
be anchored by restaurants and entertainment facilities. These centers,
generally located in urban areas, tend to be adapted from older, sometimes
historic, buildings, and can be part of mixed use projects.
Outlet Center: Usually located in rural or occasionally in tourist locations, outlet
centers consist mostly of manufacturers' outlet stores selling their own brands at
a discount. These centers are typically not anchored. A strip configuration is
most common, although some are enclosed malls, and others can be arranged
in a "village" cluster.

I. INTRODUCTION
The City of Evanston (the “City”) is an established community located in northern
Cook County, Illinois along the shores of Lake Michigan. In this report, the City
proposes a Tax Increment Financing Redevelopment Plan (the “Redevelopment
Plan” or “Plan”) to assist a strategically important area in overcoming a number
of redevelopment barriers. The City is pursuing the TIF designation as part of its
overall strategy to promote the revitalization and increased occupancy of a key
retail property located at the southwest corner of Dempster and Dodge Avenue.
Kane, McKenna and Associates, Inc. (“KMA”) has been retained by the City of
Evanston to conduct an analysis of the potential qualification and designation of
the area as a Tax Increment Financing (“TIF”) District, and to assist the City in
drafting this TIF Redevelopment Plan.
The City has two fundamental goals in pursuing the potential TIF District. The
first is to promote redevelopment of the area to improve occupancy levels at one
of the largest retail establishments in Evanston (Evanston Plaza), in coordination
with a new owner that may pursue investments for the site. The second goal is to
further the City’s overall economic development program and thereby diversify
its tax base. As noted in various City reports (including the annual budget, 2006
Strategic Plan and 2000 Comprehensive General Plan), a general City priority is
to implement a range of economic development efforts. For example, in the
City’s most recently adopted budget, the City has “targeted business district
revitalization efforts throughout the City, including the redevelopment potential
of Evanston Plaza.”
TIF Plan Requirements. The City is preparing this Plan as required by the
Tax Increment Allocation Redevelopment Act, (the “Act”) 65 ILCS 5/11-74.4-3,
et. seq., as amended. To establish a TIF district (also known as a Redevelopment
Project Area (“RPA”)), Illinois municipalities must adopt several documents,
including a TIF Redevelopment Plan and Eligibility Report.
The Act enables Illinois municipalities to establish TIF districts, either to
eliminate the presence of blight or to prevent its onset. The Act finds that
municipal TIF authority serves a public interest in order to: “promote and
protect the health, safety, morals, and welfare of the public, that blighted
conditions need to be eradicated and conservation measures instituted, and that
redevelopment of such areas be undertaken; that to remove and alleviate adverse
conditions it is necessary to encourage private investment and restore and
enhance the tax base of the taxing districts in such areas by the development or
redevelopment of project areas” (65 ILCS 5/11-74.4-2(b)).
By definition, a TIF “Redevelopment Plan" means the comprehensive program of
the municipality for development or redevelopment intended by the payment of
redevelopment project costs to reduce or eliminate those conditions the existence
of which qualify the redevelopment project area as a "blighted area,"
347 of 657
Page 2
"conservation area" (or combination thereof), or "industrial park conservation
area," and thereby to enhance the tax bases of the taxing districts which extend
into the redevelopment project area as set forth in the Tax Increment Allocation
Redevelopment Act.
Community Background. The City of Evanston is one of the oldest
communities in the State of Illinois, incorporated in 1863 during the Civil War.
After a long period of growth during the late 19th and early 20th century,
population stabilized around its current level in the post-war era. As of the 2010
Census, City population is 74,486.
The City has a number of important assets that make it desirable location for
residents and that fosters a competitive environment for businesses. First, the
City has one of the most highly educated workforces in Illinois. 66% of the adult
population (over age 25) has obtained either a bachelor’s degree or an advanced
degree (master’s degree or other advanced degree). Secondly, the City possesses
a variety of transportation assets, including proximity to the Interstate Highway
System, state highways, a Metra train line, and a CTA (“El”) train line.
Additionally, biking as a commuter option is also expanding, as the CTA and the
RTA increasingly accommodate bicyclists who make connections to downtown
Chicago and suburban destinations.
Third, the City has a long tradition of professional city management, which
ensures efficient, effective, and responsive service delivery to residents and
businesses. Under the current management team, the City has identified
economic development as a priority for service delivery and may expand efforts
in this area.
The Proposed TIF District. The proposed RPA consists of one tax parcel and
is situated at the southwest corner of Dempster and Dodge Avenue. The primary
use for the site is the Dempster Plaza, which is an older retail shopping center
comprising three buildings: a large traditional grocer (as well as connected stores
that are vacant); a series of in-line retail spaces mostly occupied by smaller
retailers; and a group of stores in an outlot building.
The area faces a number of long-standing redevelopment challenges: the
structures in the area are underutilized, the site may require infrastructure
improvements, and end users face the general risk of obsolescence. Regarding
obsolescence, the anchor tenant is a traditional grocer (Dominick’s), which
operates in a highly competitive retail sector undergoing transformation as
traditional grocers face challenges from discount grocers, independent grocers,
“high-end” grocers and even atypical competitors such as national drugstores
chains (now expanding their selection of food items to include perishable
groceries). Remaining retail spaces may require reconfiguration and upgrades in
order to be competitive in the marketplace, and to assist in overcoming
obsolescence. Overall, the proposed TIF District generally suffers from a variety
348 of 657
Page 3
of economic development impediments as identified in the TIF Act and as
documented in the TIF Qualification Report (Section V).
Despite the challenges, the proposed Dempster/Dodge TIF has a number of
important advantages that can be potentially leveraged via TIF establishment:
An anchor tenant within the proposed TIF District;
A TIF District at the junction of two arterial roads, which generates the
vehicular traffic necessary to support commercial and retail uses; and
New ownership that intends to coordinate with the City on making
improvements to the site.
Additionally, the area as mentioned would benefit from professional municipal
management and the City’s increasing priority on economic development.
On balance, the Dempster/Dodge TIF area has the potential for redevelopment of
certain underutilized properties. As such, the City has identified a number of
objectives for redevelopment, with tax increment financing acting as a tool to
achieve them. Please refer to Section III of this report for additional information
about the goals, objectives and activities to support redevelopment.
The RPA would be suitable for new development if there is coordination of uses
and redevelopment activity by the City. Through this TIF Redevelopment Plan
and as part of its comprehensive economic development planning, the City
intends to attract and encourage commercial and retail/mixed uses to locate,
upgrade, expand and/or modernize their facilities within Evanston. Through the
establishment of the RPA, the City would implement a program to redevelop key
areas within the new TIF District and in so doing, it would stabilize the area,
extend benefits to the community, and assist affected taxing districts over the
long run.
Rationale for Redevelopment Plan. The City recognizes the need for a
strategy to revitalize properties and promote development within the boundaries
of the RPA. The needed private investment would only be possible if a TIF
district is adopted pursuant to the terms of the Act. Incremental property tax
revenue generated by the project will play a decisive role in encouraging private
development. Site conditions and diverse ownership that has discouraged
intensive private investment in the past will be eliminated. Ultimately, the
implementation of the Plan will benefit both the City and surrounding taxing
districts, by virtue of the expected expansion of the tax base.
The City has determined that the area as a whole would not be developed in a
coordinated manner unless the adoption of the TIF Redevelopment Plan occurs.
The City, with the assistance of KMA, has therefore commissioned this Plan to
use tax increment financing in order to address local needs and to meet
redevelopment goals and objectives.

The adoption of this Plan makes possible the implementation of a comprehensive
program for the economic redevelopment of the area. By means of public
investment and land assembly, the RPA will become a more viable area that will
attract private investment. The public investment and land assembly will lay the
foundation for the redevelopment of the area with private capital. This in turn
will set the stage for future retail, commercial and mixed use opportunities
surrounding the area.
The designation of the area as an RPA will allow the City to pursue the following
beneficial strategies:
Providing infrastructure that supports subsequent redevelopment plans
for the RPA;
Improvements to the site in preparation for redevelopment (“site prep”)
and improvements to the structures in order to accommodate new
tenants;
Entering into redevelopment agreements in order to redevelop property
and/or to induce new development to locate within the RPA;
Establishing a pattern of land-use activities that will increase efficiency
and economic inter-relationships, especially as such uses complement
adjacent current and/or future commercial opportunities and City
redevelopment projects within the RPA and/or surrounding area; and
Enhancing area appearance through improvements to landscape,
streetscape and signage.
Through this Plan, the City will direct the coordination and assembly of the assets
and investments of the private sector and establish a unified, cooperative public-
private redevelopment effort. Several benefits are expected to accrue to the area:
entry of new businesses; new employment opportunities; and physical and
aesthetic improvements. Ultimately, the implementation of the Plan will benefit
(a) the City, (b) the taxing districts serving the RPA, (c) residents and property
owners adjacent to the RPA, and (d) existing and new businesses within the RPA.
City Findings. The City, through legislative actions as required by the Act,
finds:
That the RPA as a whole has not been subject to growth and development
through investment by private enterprise;
That in order to promote and protect the health, safety, and welfare of the
public, certain conditions that have adversely affected redevelopment within
350 of 657
Page 5
the RPA need to be addressed, and that redevelopment of such areas must be
undertaken;
To alleviate the adverse conditions, it is necessary to encourage private
investment and enhance the tax base of the taxing districts in such areas by
the development or redevelopment of certain areas;
That public/private partnerships are determined to be necessary in order to
achieve development goals;
That without the development focus and resources provided for under the Act
and as set forth in this Plan, growth and redevelopment would not reasonably
be expected to be achieved;
That the use of incremental tax revenues derived from the tax rates of various
taxing districts in the RPA for the payment of redevelopment project costs is
of benefit to the taxing districts, because the taxing districts would not derive
the benefits of an increased assessment base without addressing the
coordination of redevelopment; and
That the TIF Redevelopment Plan conforms to the Evanston Comprehensive
Plan, as detailed in Section III of this report.
Additionally, the City finds that it is useful, desirable, and necessary for the City
to assemble land into parcels of sufficient size to encourage development
consistent with current standards.
It is further found, and certified by the City, in connection to the statutory
process required for the adoption of this Plan, that (a) the that the RPA does not
contain over seventy-five (75) inhabited residential units and (b) projected
redevelopment of the RPA will not result in the displacement of ten (10)
inhabited residential units or more. Therefore, this Plan does not include a
Housing Impact Study.
The redevelopment activities that will take place within the RPA will produce
benefits that are reasonably distributed throughout the RPA. Redevelopment of
the RPA area is tenable only if a portion of the improvements and other costs are
funded by TIF.
Pursuant to the Act, the RPA includes only those contiguous parcels of real
property and improvements thereon substantially benefited by the
redevelopment project. Also pursuant to the Act, the area in the aggregate is
more than 1½ acres. A boundary map of the RPA is included in Appendix 2 of
this Plan.

III. RPA GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
The City has established a number of economic development goals, objectives,
and strategies which would determine the types of activities to be undertaken
within the proposed Dempster/Dodge TIF District. These efforts would conform
to and promote the achievement of land use objectives in the City’s
Comprehensive Plan.
Exhibit 1
Relationship of Land Use and Economic Development Plans
As indicated in the exhibit above, the City’s primary planning document is the
Comprehensive Plan which describes the overall vision for the City and is the
foundation for City initiatives such as the proposed Dempster/Dodge TIF
District. This overarching planning document determines future land uses and
influences all other City planning efforts such as the TIF planning process.
General Economic Development Goals of the City. Establishment of the
proposed Dempster/Dodge TIF supports the following City-wide objectives

TIF designation would allow the City to pursue the following objectives within the
RPA:
o Reduce or eliminate blight or other negative factors present within the area;
o Coordinate redevelopment activities within the RPA in order to provide a
positive marketplace signal to private investors;
o Accomplish redevelopment over a reasonable time period;
o Create an attractive overall appearance for the area; and
354 of 657
Page 9
o Further the goals and objectives of the Comprehensive Plan.
Ultimately, the implementation of the Redevelopment Plan would contribute to
the economic development of the area and provide new employment
opportunities for City residents.
The RPA-specific objectives would be fulfilled by the execution of certain
strategies, including but not limited to the following:
o Facilitating the preparation of improved and vacant sites, by assisting any
private developer(s) to assemble suitable sites for modern development
needs;
o Coordinating site preparation and rehabilitation of structures to provide
additional land for new development, as appropriate;
o Fostering the replacement, repair, and/or improvement of infrastructure,
including (as needed) sidewalks, streets, curbs, gutters and underground
water and sanitary systems to facilitate the construction of new development
within the RPA;
o Facilitating the provision of adequate on- and off-street parking within the
RPA; and/or
o Coordinating development in tandem with any transportation system
upgrades to make the area more accessible.
To track success in meeting RPA-specific objectives and strategies, the City may
wish to consider establishing certain performance measures that would help the
City monitor the projects to be undertaken within the proposed RPA. The
Government Finance Officers Association recommends that municipalities
adopting TIF districts evaluate actual against projected performance (e.g., using
metrics such as job creation or tax revenue generation). Exhibit 3 below
identifies the types of performance measures the City may consider to track the
performance of projects within the RPA. (Section VI of this report discusses the
types of projects that the City may pursue within the RPA, with the caveat that
specific projects at this point are only conceptual in nature.)

IV. EVIDENCE OF THE LACK OF DEVELOPMENT AND
GROWTH; FISCAL IMPACT ON TAXING DISTRICTS
Evidence of the Lack of Development and Growth within the RPA. As
documented in Appendix 5 of this Plan, the RPA has suffered from the lack of
development and would qualify as a Conservation Area (for the improved sub-
area) and as a blighted area (for the vacant sub-area). In recent years, the area
has not benefited from sustained private investment and/or development,
instead suffering economic decline. Absent intervention by the City, properties
within the RPA would not be likely to gain in value.
The proposed RPA exhibits various conditions which, if not addressed by the
City, would eventually result in blight. Those conditions include structures and
public improvements reflecting obsolescence as well as other deficiencies. These
various conditions discourage private sector investment in business enterprises.
Assessment of Fiscal Impact on Affected Taxing Districts. It is not
anticipated that the implementation of this Plan will have a negative financial
impact on the affected taxing districts. Instead, action taken by the City to
stabilize and cause growth of its tax base through the implementation of this Plan
will have a positive impact on the affected taxing districts by arresting the
potential decline or lag in property values, as measured by assessed valuations
(AV). In short, the establishment of a TIF district would protect other taxing
districts from the potential downside risk of falling AV.
Should the City achieve success in attracting private investment which results in
the need for documented increased services from any taxing districts, the City
will consider the declaration of “surplus funds,” as defined under the Act and
pursuant to any executed intergovernmental agreement. Such funds which are
neither expended nor obligated for TIF-related purposes can be used to assist
affected taxing districts in paying the costs for increased services.
Any surplus Special Tax Allocation Funds (to the extent any surplus exists) will
be shared in proportion to the various tax rates imposed by the taxing districts,
including the City. Any such sharing would be undertaken after all TIF-eligible
costs – either expended or incurred as an obligation by the City – have been duly
accounted for through administration of the Special Tax Allocation Fund to be
established by the City as provided by the Act.
An exception to the tax-sharing provision relates to the City’s utilization of TIF
funding to mitigate the impact of residential redevelopment upon school
districts. In such cases, the City will provide funds to offset the costs incurred by
the eligible school districts in the manner prescribed by 65 ILCS Section 5/11-
74.4.3(q)(7.5) of the Act. It should be noted that new residential uses are not
expected as part of future redevelopment activities. (Refer to Section VI of this
Report, which describes allowable TIF project costs.)

V. TIF QUALIFICATION FACTORS PRESENT IN
THE RPA
Findings. The RPA was studied to determine its qualifications under the Tax
Increment Allocation Redevelopment Act. It was determined that the area as a
whole qualifies as a TIF district under the Act. Refer to the TIF Qualification
Report, attached as Appendix 5 in this Plan.
Eligibility Survey. Representatives of KMA and City staff evaluated the RPA
from late 2011 to the date of the publication of this Plan. Analysis was aided by
certain reports obtained from the City, reports from City engineering consultants,
on-site due diligence, and other sources. In KMA’s evaluation, only information
was recorded which would help assess the eligibility of the proposed area as a TIF
District.

VI. REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT
Redevelopment Plan and Project Objectives. As indicated in Section III of
this Report, the City has established a planning process which guides economic
development and land use activities throughout the City. Consistent with the
established planning process, the City proposes to achieve economic development
goals and objectives through the redevelopment of the Dempster/Dodge TIF,
pursuit of projects within the RPA, and the promotion of private investment via
public financing techniques (including but not limited to tax increment
financing).
The project-specific objectives envisioned for the Dempster/Dodge TIF are as
follows:
1) Implementing a plan that provides for the attraction of users and tenants
to redevelop underutilized land and buildings that are available within the
RPA.
2) Constructing public improvements which may include (if necessary):
Street and sidewalk improvements (including new street construction
and widening of current streets; any street widening would conform
with City standards for context-sensitive design);
Utility improvements (including, but not limited to, water, stormwater
management, and sanitary sewer projects consisting of construction
and rehabilitation);
Signalization, traffic control and lighting;
Off-street parking and public parking facilities; and
Landscaping, streetscaping, and beautification.
3) Entering into Redevelopment Agreements with developers for qualified
redevelopment projects, including (but not limited to) the provision of an
interest rate subsidy as allowed under the Act.
4) Providing for site preparation, clearance, environmental remediation, and
demolition, including grading and excavation (any demolition activities
would conform to City criteria for allowing demolition) as needed.
5) Providing for the rehabilitation of structures in order to improve the
occupancy and appearance of the property within the RPA.
6) Exploration and review of job training programs in coordination with any
City, federal, state, and county programs.
7) Entering into agreements for the development and/or construction of
public facilities and infrastructure.
359 of 657
Page 14
Redevelopment Activities. Pursuant to the project objectives cited above, the
City will implement a coordinated program of actions. These include, but are not
limited to, land acquisition, land disposition, site preparation, clearance,
demolition, provision of public infrastructure and related public improvements,
construction of new public facilities, and rehabilitation of structures, if necessary.
Such activities conform to the provision of the TIF Act that define the scope of
permissible redevelopment activities.
Site Preparation, Clearance, Relocation and Demolition
Property within the RPA may be improved through the use of site clearance,
excavation, environmental remediation or demolition prior to redevelopment.
The land may also be graded and cleared prior to redevelopment. Relocation may
also be required under the TIF Act; the City would conform to the provisions of
the Act.
Land Assembly and Disposition
Certain properties or interests in properties in the RPA may be acquired by
purchase or the exercise of eminent domain. Properties owned by or acquired by
the City may be assembled and reconfigured into appropriate redevelopment
sites. If necessary, the City would facilitate private acquisition through
reimbursement of acquisition and related costs as well as through the write-down
of its acquisition costs. Such land may be held or disposed of by the City on terms
appropriate for public or private development, including the acquisition of land
needed for construction of public improvements.
Public Improvements
The City may, but is not required to, provide public improvements in the RPA to
enhance the immediate area and support the Plan. Appropriate public
improvements may include, but are not limited to:
Improvements and/or construction of public utilities including extension
of water mains as well as sanitary and storm sewer systems, roadways, and
traffic-related improvements;
Parking facilities; and
Beautification, identification markers, landscaping, lighting, and signage
of public right-of-ways.
Rehabilitation/Taxing District Capital Costs
The City may provide for the rehabilitation of certain structures within the RPA
in order to provide for the redevelopment of the area and conform to City code
provisions. Improvements may include exterior and facade-related work as well
as interior-related work.
360 of 657
Page 15
The City may construct or provide for the construction and reimbursement for
new facilities to be owned or used by units of local government. The City does
not expect that locally designated landmarks or properties listed on or eligible for
listing on the National Register of Historic Places (or properties significantly
contributing to districts listed on the National Register of Historic Places) will be
demolished or modified in connection with the Plan.
Interest Rate Write-Down
The City may enter into agreements with for-profit or non-profit
owners/developers whereby a portion of the interest cost for construction,
renovation or rehabilitation projects are paid out of the Special Tax Allocation
fund of the RPA, in accordance with the Act.
Job Training
The City may assist facilities and enterprises located within the RPA in obtaining
job training assistance. Job training and retraining programs currently available
from or through other governments include, but are not limited to:
Federal programs;
State of Illinois programs;
Applicable local vocational educational programs, including
community college sponsored programs; and
Other federal, state, county or non-profit programs that are
currently available or will be developed and initiated over time.
School District Costs
The City may provide for payment of school district costs as provided for in the
Act relating to residential components assisted through TIF funding.
General Land Use Plan. As noted in Section I of this report, the proposed
RPA currently contains primarily retail uses.
Existing land uses are shown in Appendix 3 attached hereto and made a part of
this Plan. Appendix 4 designates future land uses in the Redevelopment Project
Area and includes retail, commercial, and mixed uses. Future land uses will
conform to the Zoning Ordinance and the Comprehensive Plan as either may be
amended from time to time.
361 of 657
Page 16
Additional Design and Control Standards. The appropriate design
standards (including any Planned Unit Developments) as set forth in the City’s
Zoning Ordinance and/or Comprehensive Plan shall apply to the RPA.
Eligible Redevelopment Project Costs. Under the TIF statute,
redevelopment project costs mean and include the sum total of all reasonable or
necessary costs incurred or estimated to be incurred as well as any such costs
incidental to the Plan. (Private investments, which supplement “Redevelopment
Project Costs,” are expected to substantially exceed such redevelopment project
costs.) Eligible costs permitted by the Act and pertaining to this Plan include:
(1) Professional Service Costs – Costs of studies, surveys, development of
plans, and specifications, implementation and administration of the
redevelopment plan including but not limited to staff and professional
service costs for architectural, engineering, legal, financial, planning or
other services, provided however that no charges for professional services
may be based on a percentage of the tax increment collected; except that
on and after November 1, 1999 (the effective date of Public Act 91-478), no
contracts for professional services, excluding architectural and
engineering services, may be entered into if the terms of the contract
extend beyond a period of 3 years. After consultation with the
municipality, each tax increment consultant or advisor to a municipality
that plans to designate or has designated a redevelopment project area
shall inform the municipality in writing of any contracts that the
consultant or advisor has entered into with entities or individuals that
have received, or are receiving, payments financed by tax increment
revenues produced by the redevelopment project area with respect to
which the consultant or advisor has performed, or will be performing,
service for the municipality. This requirement shall be satisfied by the
consultant or advisor before the commencement of services for the
municipality and thereafter whenever any other contracts with those
individuals or entities are executed by the consultant or advisor;
The cost of marketing sites within the redevelopment project area to
prospective businesses, developers, and investors;
Annual administrative costs shall not include general overhead or
administrative costs of the municipality that would still have been
incurred by the municipality if the municipality had not designated a
redevelopment project area or approved a redevelopment plan;
In addition, redevelopment project costs shall not include lobbying
expenses;
(2) Property Assembly Costs – Costs including but not limited to acquisition
of land and other property (real or personal) or rights or interests therein,
demolition of buildings, site preparation, site improvements that serve as
362 of 657
Page 17
an engineered barrier addressing ground level or below ground
environmental contamination, including, but not limited to parking lots
and other concrete or asphalt barriers, and the clearing and grading of
land;
(3) Improvements to Public or Private Buildings – Costs of rehabilitation,
reconstruction, repair, or remodeling of existing public or private
buildings, fixtures, and leasehold improvements; and the cost of replacing
an existing public building if pursuant to the implementation of a
redevelopment project the existing public building is to be demolished to
use the site for private investment or devoted to a different use requiring
private investment;
(4) Public Works – Costs of the construction of public works or
improvements, except that on and after November 1, 1999, redevelopment
project costs shall not include the cost of constructing a new municipal
public building principally used to provide offices, storage space, or
conference facilities or vehicle storage, maintenance, or repair for
administrative, public safety, or public works personnel and that is not
intended to replace an existing public building as provided under
paragraph (3) of subsection (q) of Section 11-74.4-3 unless either (i) the
construction of the new municipal building implements a redevelopment
project that was included in a redevelopment plan that was adopted by the
municipality prior to November 1, 1999 or (ii) the municipality makes a
reasonable determination in the redevelopment plan, supported by
information that provides the basis for that determination, that the new
municipal building is required to meet an increase in the need for public
safety purposes anticipated to result from the implementation of the
redevelopment plan;
(5) Job Training – Costs of job training and retraining projects, including the
cost of "welfare to work" programs implemented by businesses located
within the redevelopment project area;
(6) Financing Costs – Costs including but not limited to all necessary and
incidental expenses related to the issuance of obligations and which may
include payment of interest on any obligations issued hereunder including
(a) interest accruing during the estimated period of construction of any
redevelopment project for which such obligations are issued and for a
period not exceeding 36 months thereafter and (b) reasonable reserves
related thereto;
(7) Capital Costs – To the extent the municipality by written agreement
accepts and approves the same, all or a portion of a taxing district's capital
costs resulting from the redevelopment project necessarily incurred or to
be incurred within a taxing district in furtherance of the objectives of the
redevelopment plan and project;
363 of 657
Page 18
(8) School-Related Costs – For redevelopment project areas designated (or
redevelopment project areas amended to add or increase the number of
tax-increment-financing assisted housing units) on or after November 1,
1999, an elementary, secondary, or unit school district's increased costs
attributable to assisted housing units located within the redevelopment
project area for which the developer or redeveloper receives financial
assistance through an agreement with the municipality or because the
municipality incurs the cost of necessary infrastructure improvements
within the boundaries of the assisted housing sites necessary for the
completion of that housing as authorized by the Act, and which costs shall
be paid by the municipality from the Special Tax Allocation Fund when the
tax increment revenue is received as a result of the assisted housing units
and shall be calculated annually;1
(9) Relocation Costs – To the extent that a municipality determines that
relocation costs shall be paid or is required to make payment of relocation
costs by federal or State law or in order to satisfy subparagraph (7) of
subsection (n) of the Act;
(10) Payment in lieu of taxes;
(11) Other Job Training – Costs of job training, retraining, advanced
vocational education or career education, including but not limited to
courses in occupational, semi-technical or technical fields leading directly
1 The calculation is as follows: (A) for foundation districts, excluding any school district in a municipality with a population
in excess of 1,000,000, by multiplying the district's increase in attendance resulting from the net increase in new students
enrolled in that school district who reside in housing units within the redevelopment project area that have received
financial assistance through an agreement with the municipality or because the municipality incurs the cost of necessary
infrastructure improvements within the boundaries of the housing sites necessary for the completion of that housing as
authorized by the Act since the designation of the redevelopment project area by the most recently available per capita
tuition cost as defined in Section 10-20.12a of the School Code less any increase in general State aid as defined in Section
18-8.05 of the School Code attributable to these added new students subject to the following annual limitations: (i) for
unit school districts with a district average 1995-96 Per Capita Tuition Charge of less than $5,900, no more than 25% of
the total amount of property tax increment revenue produced by those housing units that have received tax increment
finance assistance under the Act; (ii) for elementary school districts with a district average 1995-96 Per Capita Tuition
Charge of less than $5,900, no more than 17% of the total amount of property tax increment revenue produced by those
housing units that have received tax increment finance assistance under the Act; and (iii) for secondary school districts
with a district average 1995-96 Per Capita Tuition Charge of less than $5,900, no more than 8% of the total amount of
property tax increment revenue produced by those housing units that have received tax increment finance assistance
under the Act. (B) For alternate method districts, flat grant districts, and foundation districts with a district average 1995-
96 Per Capita Tuition Charge equal to or more than $5,900, excluding any school district with a population in excess of
1,000,000, by multiplying the district's increase in attendance resulting from the net increase in new students enrolled in
that school district who reside in housing units within the redevelopment project area that have received financial
assistance through an agreement with the municipality or because the municipality incurs the cost of necessary
infrastructure improvements within the boundaries of the housing sites necessary for the completion of that housing as
authorized by the Act since the designation of the redevelopment project area by the most recently available per capita
tuition cost as defined in Section 10-20.12a of the School Code less any increase in general state aid as defined in Section
18-8.05 of the School Code attributable to these added new students subject to the following annual limitations: (i) for
unit school districts, no more than 40% of the total amount of property tax increment revenue produced by those housing
units that have received tax increment finance assistance under the Act; (ii) for elementary school districts, no more than
27% of the total amount of property tax increment revenue produced by those housing units that have received tax
increment finance assistance under the Act; and (iii) for secondary school districts, no more than 13% of the total amount
of property tax increment revenue produced by those housing units that have received tax increment finance assistance
under the Act. (C) For any school district in a municipality with a population in excess of 1,000,000, additional provisions
apply.

to employment, incurred by one or more taxing districts, provided that
such costs (i) are related to the establishment and maintenance of
additional job training, advanced vocational education or career education
programs for persons employed or to be employed by employers located in
a redevelopment project area; and (ii) when incurred by a taxing district or
taxing districts other than the municipality, are set forth in a written
agreement by or among the municipality and the taxing district or taxing
districts, which agreement describes the program to be undertaken,
including but not limited to the number of employees to be trained, a
description of the training and services to be provided, the number and
type of positions available or to be available, itemized costs of the program
and sources of funds to pay for the same, and the term of the agreement.
Such costs include, specifically, the payment by community college
districts of costs pursuant to Sections 3-37, 3-38, 3-40 and 3-40.1 of the
Public Community College Act and by school districts of costs pursuant to
Sections 10-22.20a and 10-23.3a of The School Code;
(12) Developer Interest Cost – Interest cost incurred by a redeveloper related
to the construction, renovation or rehabilitation of a redevelopment
project provided that:
(A) Such costs are to be paid directly from the special tax allocation
fund established pursuant to the Act;
(B) Such payments in any one year may not exceed 30% of the annual
interest costs incurred by the redeveloper with regard to the redevelopment
project during that year;
(C) If there are not sufficient funds available in the special tax
allocation fund to make the payment then the amounts so due shall accrue and
be payable when sufficient funds are available in the special tax allocation
fund;
(D) The total of such interest payments paid pursuant to the Act may
not exceed 30% of the total (i) cost paid or incurred by the redeveloper for the
redevelopment project plus (ii) redevelopment project costs excluding any
property assembly costs and any relocation costs incurred by a municipality
pursuant to the Act;
(E) The cost limits set forth in subparagraphs (B) and (D) of paragraph
shall be modified for the financing of rehabilitated or new housing units for
low-income households and very low-income households, as defined in
Section 3 of the Illinois Affordable Housing Act. The percentage of 75% shall
be substituted for 30% in subparagraphs (B) and (D);
(F) Instead of the eligible costs provided by subparagraphs (B) and (D),
as modified by this subparagraph, and notwithstanding any other provisions of
the Act to the contrary, the municipality may pay from tax increment revenues
up to 50% of the cost of construction of new housing units to be occupied by
low-income households and very low-income households as defined in Section
3 of the Illinois Affordable Housing Act. The cost of construction of those units
may be derived from the proceeds of bonds issued by the municipality under
365 of 657
Page 20
the Act or other constitutional or statutory authority or from other sources of
municipal revenue that may be reimbursed from tax increment revenues or the
proceeds of bonds issued to finance the construction of that housing. The
eligible costs provided under this subparagraph (F) shall be an eligible cost for
the construction, renovation, and rehabilitation of all low and very low-income
housing units, as defined in Section 3 of the Illinois Affordable Housing Act,
within the redevelopment project area. If the low and very low-income units
are part of a residential redevelopment project that includes units not
affordable to low and very low-income households, only the low and very low-
income units shall be eligible for benefits under subparagraph (F).2
The TIF Act prohibits certain costs. Unless explicitly stated herein the cost of
construction of new privately-owned buildings shall not be an eligible
redevelopment project cost. In addition, the statute prohibits costs related to
retail development that results in the closing of nearby facilities of the same
retailers. Specifically, none of the redevelopment project costs enumerated in the
Act shall be eligible redevelopment project costs if those costs would provide
direct financial support to a retail entity initiating operations in the
redevelopment project area while terminating operations at another Illinois
location within 10 miles of the redevelopment project area but outside the
boundaries of the redevelopment project area municipality.3
Projected Redevelopment Project Costs. Estimated project costs are
shown in Exhibit 4 below. Adjustments to estimated line-item costs below are
expected and may be made without amendment to the Redevelopment Plan.
Each individual project cost will be reevaluated in light of the projected private
development and resulting tax revenues as it is considered for public financing
under the provisions of the Act.
Further, the projected cost of an individual line-item as set forth below is not
intended to place a limit on the described line-item expenditure. Adjustments
may be made in line-items, either increasing or decreasing line-item costs for
redevelopment. The specific items listed below are not intended to preclude
payment of other eligible redevelopment project costs in connection with the
2 The standards for maintaining the occupancy by low-income households and very low-income households, as defined in
Section 3 of the Illinois Affordable Housing Act, of those units constructed with eligible costs made available under the
provisions of this subparagraph (F) of paragraph (11) shall be established by guidelines adopted by the municipality. The
responsibility for annually documenting the initial occupancy of the units by low-income households and very low-income
households, as defined in Section 3 of the Illinois Affordable Housing Act, shall be that of the then current owner of the
property. For ownership units, the guidelines will provide, at a minimum, for a reasonable recapture of funds, or other
appropriate methods designed to preserve the original affordability of the ownership units. For rental units, the guidelines
will provide, at a minimum, for the affordability of rent to low and very low-income households. As units become
available, they shall be rented to income-eligible tenants. The municipality may modify these guidelines from time to time;
the guidelines, however, shall be in effect for as long as tax increment revenue is being used to pay for costs associated
with the units or for the retirement of bonds issued to finance the units or for the life of the redevelopment project area,
whichever is later.
3 Termination means a closing of a retail operation that is directly related to the opening of the same operation or like
retail entity owned or operated by more than 50% of the original ownership in a redevelopment project area, but it does
not mean closing an operation for reasons beyond the control of the retail entity, as documented by the retail entity,
subject to a reasonable finding by the municipality that the current location contained inadequate space, had become
economically obsolete, or was no longer a viable location for the retailer or serviceman.

Notes:
(1) All project cost estimates are in 2012 dollars. Costs may be adjusted for inflation per the TIF Act.
(2) In addition to the costs identified in the exhibit above, any bonds issued to finance a phase of the Project may include
an amount sufficient to pay (a) customary and reasonable charges associated with the issuance of such obligations, (b)
interest on such bonds, and (c) capitalized interest and reasonably required reserves.
(3) Adjustments to the estimated line-item costs above are expected. Adjustments may be made in line-items within the
total, either increasing or decreasing line-items costs for redevelopment. Each individual project cost will be reevaluated
in light of the projected private development and resulting tax revenues as it is considered for public financing under the
provisions of the Act. The individual line-items set forth above are not intended to place an individual limit on the
described expenditures – provided that the total amount of payments for eligible redevelopment project costs shall not
exceed the “total estimated TIF budget” listed above.
As explained in the following sub-section, incremental property tax revenues
from any contiguous RPA may used to pay eligible costs for the Dempster/Dodge
TIF.
Sources of Funds to Pay Redevelopment Project Costs. Funds necessary
to pay for public improvements and other project costs eligible under the Act are
to be derived principally from incremental property tax revenues, proceeds from
municipal obligations to be retired primarily with such revenues, and interest
earned on resources available but not immediately needed for the Plan. In
addition, pursuant to the TIF Act and this Plan, the City may utilize net
incremental property tax revenues received from other contiguous RPAs to pay
eligible redevelopment project costs or obligations issued to pay such costs in
contiguous project areas. This would include contiguous TIFs that the City may
establish in the future. (Conversely, incremental revenues from the
Dempster/Dodge TIF may be allocated to any contiguous TIF Districts.)
367 of 657
Page 22
Redevelopment project costs as identified in Exhibit 4 specifically authorize those
eligible costs set forth in the Act and do not address the preponderance of the
costs to redevelop the area. The majority of development costs will be privately
financed. TIF or other public sources are to be used, subject to approval by the
City Council, only to leverage and commit private redevelopment activity.
The incremental tax revenues which will be used to pay debt service on the
municipal obligations (if any) and to directly pay redevelopment project costs
shall be the incremental increase in property taxes. The property tax increment
would be attributable to the increase in the equalized assessed value of each
taxable lot, block, tract or parcel of real property in the RPA – over and above the
initial equalized assessed value of each such lot, block, tract or parcel in the RPA
in the 2010 tax year for the RPA.
Among the other sources of funds which may be used to pay for redevelopment
project costs and debt service on municipal obligations issued to finance project
costs are the following: certain local sales or utility taxes, special service area
taxes, the proceeds of property sales, certain land lease payments, certain Motor
Fuel Tax revenues, certain state and federal grants or loans, certain investment
income, and such other sources of funds and revenues as the City may from time
to time deem appropriate.
Nature and Term of Obligations to Be Issued. The City may issue
obligations secured by the Special Tax Allocation Fund established for the
Redevelopment Project Area pursuant to the Act or such other funds as are
available to the City by virtue of its power pursuant to the Illinois State
Constitution.
Any and all obligations issued by the Village pursuant to this Plan and the Act
shall be retired not more than twenty-three (23) years after the date of adoption
of the ordinance approving the RPA, or as such a later time permitted pursuant to
the Act and to the extent such obligations are reliant upon the collection of
incremental property tax revenues from the completion of the twenty-third year
of the TIF, with taxes collected in the twenty-fourth year. However, the final
maturity date of any obligations issued pursuant to the Act may not be later than
twenty (20) years from their respective date of issuance.
One or more series of obligations may be issued from time to time in order to
implement this Plan. The total principal and interest payable in any year on all
obligations shall not exceed the amount available in that year or projected to be
available in that year. The total principal and interest may be payable from tax
increment revenues (including tax increment revenues from current or future
contiguous TIF Districts) and from bond sinking funds, capitalized interest, debt
service reserve funds, and all other sources of funds as may be provided by
ordinance.
368 of 657
Page 23
Certain revenues may be declared as surplus funds if not required for: principal
and interest payments, required reserves, bond sinking funds, redevelopment
project costs, early retirement of outstanding securities, or facilitating the
economical issuance of additional bonds necessary to accomplish the
Redevelopment Plan. Such surplus funds shall then become available for
distribution annually to taxing districts overlapping the RPA in the manner
provided by the Act.
Securities may be issued on either a taxable or tax-exempt basis, as general
obligation or revenue bonds. Further, the securities may be offered on such
terms as the City may determine, with or without the following features:
capitalized interest; deferred principal retirement; interest rate limits (except as
limited by law); and redemption provisions. Additionally, such securities may be
issued with either fixed rate or floating interest rates.
Most Recent Equalized Assessed Valuation for the RPA. The most
recent equalized assessed valuation for the RPA is based on the 2010 EAV, and is
estimated to be approximately $10,816,879. It is anticipated the estimated base
EAV for establishment of the RPA will be the 2010 EAV. (The 2010 EAV estimate
herein is to be updated when the State of Illinois equalizer is published and
values are certified.)
Anticipated Equalized Assessed Valuation for the RPA. Upon
completion of the anticipated private development of the RPA over a twenty-
three (23) year period, it is estimated that the EAV of the property within the
RPA would increase to approximately $30,000,000 to $35,000,000 depending
upon market conditions and the scope of the redevelopment projects.

VII. DESCRIPTION AND SCHEDULING OF
REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT
Redevelopment Project. The City will implement a strategy with full
consideration given to the availability of both public and private funding. It is
anticipated that a phased redevelopment will be undertaken.
The Redevelopment Project will begin as soon as the private entities have
obtained financing approvals for appropriate projects and such uses conform to
City zoning and planning requirements, or if the City undertakes redevelopment
activities pursuant to this Plan. Depending upon the scope of the development as
well as the actual uses, the following activities may be undertaken by the City:
Land Assembly and Relocation: Certain properties in the RPA may be
acquired and assembled into an appropriate redevelopment site, with
relocation costs undertaken as provided by the Act. If necessary, the City
would facilitate private acquisition through reimbursement or write-down of
related costs, including without limitation the acquisition of land needed for
construction of public improvements.
Demolition and Site Preparation: The existing improvements located within
the RPA may have to be reconfigured or prepared to accommodate new uses
or expansion plans. Demolition of certain parcels may be necessary for future
projects. Additionally, the redevelopment plan contemplates site preparation,
or other requirements including environmental remediation necessary to
prepare the site for desired redevelopment projects.
Rehabilitation: The City may assist in the rehabilitation of buildings or site
improvements located within the RPA.
Landscaping/Buffering/Streetscaping: The City may fund certain
landscaping projects, which serve to beautify public properties or rights-of-
way and provide buffering between land uses.
Water, Sanitary Sewer, Storm Sewer and Other Utility Improvements:
Certain utilities may be extended or re-routed to serve or accommodate the
new development. Upgrading of existing utilities may be undertaken. The
City may also undertake the provision of necessary detention or retention
ponds.
Roadway/Street/Parking Improvements: The City may widen and/or vacate
existing roads. Certain secondary streets/roads may be extended or
constructed. Related curb, gutter, and paving improvements could also be
constructed as needed. Parking facilities may be constructed that would be
available to the public. Utility services may also be provided or relocated in
order to accommodate redevelopment activities.
370 of 657
Page 25
Traffic Control/Signalization: Traffic control or signalization improvements
that improve access to the RPA and enhance its redevelopment may be
constructed.
Public Safety-Related Infrastructure: Certain public safety improvements
including, but not limited to, public signage, public facilities, and streetlights
may be constructed or implemented.
School District Costs: The payment of such costs may be provided pursuant
to the requirements of the TIF Act.
Interest Costs Coverage: The City may fund certain interest costs incurred by
a developer for construction, renovation or rehabilitation of a redevelopment
project. Such funding would be paid for out of annual tax increment revenue
generated from the RPA as allowed under the Act.
Professional Services: The City may fund necessary planning, legal,
engineering, administrative and financing costs during project
implementation. The City may reimburse itself from annual tax increment
revenue if available.
Commitment to Fair Employment Practices and Affirmative Action.
As part of any Redevelopment Agreement entered into by the City and any
private developers, both parties will agree to establish and implement an
honorable, progressive, and goal-oriented affirmative action program that serves
appropriate sectors of the City. The program will conform to the most recent City
policies and plans.
With respect to the public/private development’s internal operations, both
entities will pursue employment practices which provide equal opportunity to all
people regardless of sex, color, race, creed, or sexual orientation. Neither party
will discriminate against any employee or applicant because of sex, marital
status, national origin, age, sexual orientation, or the presence of physical
handicaps. These nondiscriminatory practices will apply to all areas of
employment, including: hiring, upgrading and promotions, terminations,
compensation, benefit programs, and education opportunities.
All those involved with employment activities will be responsible for
conformance to this policy and compliance with applicable state and federal
regulations.
The City and private developers will adopt a policy of equal employment
opportunity and will include or require the inclusion of this statement in all
contracts and subcontracts at any level. Additionally, any public/private entities
will seek to ensure and maintain a working environment free of harassment,
intimidation, and coercion at all sites, and in all facilities at which all employees
371 of 657
Page 26
are assigned to work. It shall be specifically ensured that all on-site supervisory
personnel are aware of and carry out the obligation to maintain such a working
environment, with specific attention to minority and/or female individuals.
Finally, the entities will utilize affirmative action to ensure that business
opportunities are provided and that job applicants are employed and treated in a
nondiscriminatory manner. Underlying this policy is the recognition by the
entities that successful affirmative action programs are important to the
continued growth and vitality of the community.
Completion of Redevelopment Project and Retirement of Obligations
to Finance Redevelopment Costs. This Redevelopment Project and
retirement of all obligations to finance redevelopment costs will be completed
within twenty-three (23) years after the adoption of an ordinance designating the
Redevelopment Project Area. The actual date for such completion and retirement
of obligations shall not be later than December 31 of the year in which the
payment to the municipal treasurer pursuant to the Act is to be made with
respect to ad valorem taxes levied in the twenty-third calendar year after the
ordinance approving the RPA is adopted.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Kane, McKenna and Associates, Inc. (KMA) has been retained by the City of Evanston,
Illinois (the “City”) to conduct an analysis of the potential qualification and designation
of certain property located in the City, to be addressed herein as the proposed
Redevelopment Project Area (the “RPA” or “TIF District”).
The City is pursuing the RPA designation as part of its strategy to promote the
revitalization of the property and thereby assist the City in achieving its public policy
goal of promoting economic redevelopment. By undertaking the designation, the City
will help strengthen the RPA as a significant contributor to the City’s overall economic
base.
Based upon the preliminary analysis completed to date, KMA has reached the following
conclusions regarding the potential qualification of the RPA as a TIF District:
1) The proposed TIF District meets the criteria for a “blighted area” with
improvements, as the term is defined under the TIF Act – Overall, the parcels within
the proposed TIF District either have declined, or are in danger of declining, toward a
blighted condition. This condition prevents, or threatens to prevent, the healthy
economic and physical development of properties in a manner that the community
deems essential to its overall economic health.
2) Current conditions impede redevelopment – The conditions found within the
proposed TIF District present a barrier to the area’s successful redevelopment. Without
the use of City planning and economic development resources to mitigate such
conditions, potential redevelopment activities are not likely to be economically feasible.
3) Viable redevelopment sites could produce incremental revenue – Within the
proposed TIF District, there are parcels which potentially could be redeveloped or
rehabilitated and thereby produce incremental property tax revenue or additional sales
tax revenue. Such revenue, used in combination with other City resources for
redevelopment incentives or public improvements, would likely stimulate private
investment and job creation in these sites and ultimately throughout the TIF District.
4) Pursuit of TIF designation is recommended – To mitigate the existing conditions
(thereby promoting the improved physical condition of the proposed RPA) and to
leverage the City’s investment and redevelopment efforts, KMA recommends that the
City pursue the formal TIF designation process for the RPA.
Because the City will not pursue the redevelopment of residential parcels that could
potentially dislocate 10 or more residential units within the proposed TIF district, the
City will not conduct a housing impact study pursuant to the TIF Act.

______________________________________________________________________________

I. BACKGROUND
In the context of planning for the proposed Redevelopment Project Area, the City has
initiated a study of the area to determine whether it would potentially qualify as a TIF
District. Kane, McKenna and Associates, Inc. agreed to undertake the study of the
proposed RPA or TIF District on the City’s behalf.
Current Land Use. The proposed RPA is a compact area situated at the southwest
corner of Dempster Road and Dodge Avenue. The Dempster/Dodge intersection is a
key commercial node in Evanston, and though currently underutilized, it has a number
of assets that could be leveraged as part of its future redevelopment.
Overall, the area faces a number of redevelopment impediments as described in Section
IV of this report. Obsolescence and excessive vacancies are the principal impediments
that reduce the competitiveness of the area.
General Redevelopment Objectives. The redevelopment of the proposed RPA is
consistent with the City’s overarching land use objectives, which are contained in the
Comprehensive Plan, zoning ordinance and other land use planning elements. In the
Comprehensive Plan adopted in 2000, the City has articulated a number of economic
development objectives which would be supported by the City’s adoption of the
proposed RPA as a TIF District. For example, a goal is to promote “growth and
redevelopment of businesses, commercial, and industrial areas” including the
Dempster/Dodge area. It further states that the City of Evanston “has an interest in the
success of this important intersection and should support redevelopment plans that will
enhance the commercial area.”
Given the gap between the City’s goals for the area versus the current conditions
described in this report, the City has determined that the redevelopment of the proposed
RPA would be highly beneficial to the community. With a redevelopment strategy in
place, the economic base of the RPA would be stabilized and increased – thereby
benefiting the community as a whole. Without such a redevelopment strategy, the
adverse conditions identified in this report would likely worsen.
General Scope and Methodology. KMA performed its analysis by conducting a
series of meetings and discussions with City staff, starting in September 2011 and
continuing periodically up to the date of this report. The purpose of the meetings was to
gather data related to the qualification criteria for properties included in the study area.
These meetings were complemented by a series of field surveys for the entire area to
evaluate the condition of the proposed RPA, on a parcel-by-parcel basis. The field
surveys and data collected have been utilized to test the likelihood that the proposed
RPA would qualify for TIF designation.
The qualification factors discussed in this report would qualify the proposed RPA as a
blighted-improved area, as the term is defined pursuant to the TIF Act.
For additional information about KMA’s data collection and evaluation methods, refer
to Section III of this report.

II. QUALIFICATION CRITERIA
With the assistance of City staff, Kane, McKenna and Associates, Inc. assessed the
proposed RPA to determine the likelihood that qualifying factors listed in the Act would
be present. The relevant provisions of the Act are cited below.
The Act sets out specific procedures which must be adhered to in designating a
redevelopment project area (RPA). By definition, a “redevelopment project area” is:
“An area designated by the municipality, which is not less in the aggregate than
1½ acres and in respect to which the municipality has made a finding that there
exist conditions which cause the area to be classified as a blighted area or a
Conservation Area, or a combination of both blighted areas and Conservation
Areas.”
Under the Act, “blighted-improved area” means any improved or vacant area within the
boundaries of a redevelopment project area located within the territorial limits of the
municipality where certain conditions are met, as identified below.
TIF Qualification Factors for a Blighted-Improved Area. In accordance with
the TIF Act, KMA performed an assessment to determine if the proposed RPA qualified
as a blighted-improved area. The following factors were examined to determine TIF
qualification:
If a blighted-improved area, industrial, commercial and residential buildings or
improvements are detrimental to the public safety, health or welfare because of a
combination of five (5) or more of the following factors, each of which is (i) present, with
that presence documented to a meaningful extent so that a municipality may reasonably
find that the factor is clearly present within the intent of the Act and (ii) reasonably
distributed throughout the improved part of the redevelopment project area:
(A) Dilapidation. An advanced state of disrepair or neglect of necessary
repairs to the primary structural components of building or improvements in
such a combination that a documented building condition analysis determines
that major repair is required or the defects are so serious and so extensive that
the buildings must be removed.
(B) Obsolescence. The condition or process of falling into disuse. Structures
become ill-suited for the original use.
(C) Deterioration. With respect to buildings, defects include but are not
limited to, major defects in the secondary building components such as doors,
windows, porches, gutters, downspouts, and fascia. With respect to surface
improvements, that the condition of roadways, alleys, curbs, gutters, sidewalks,
off-street parking and surface storage areas evidence deterioration, including, but
388 of 657
______________________________________________________________________________
3
limited to, surface cracking, crumbling, potholes, depressions, loose paving
material and weeds protruding through paved surfaces.
(D) Presence of Structures Below Minimum Code Standards. All structures
that do not meet the standards of zoning, subdivision, building, fire and other
governmental codes applicable to property, but not including housing and
property maintenance codes.
(E) Illegal Use of Individual Structures. The use of structures in violation of
applicable federal, State, or local laws, exclusive of those applicable to the
presence of structures below minimum code standards.
(F) Excessive Vacancies. The presence of buildings that are unoccupied or
under-utilized and that represent an adverse influence on the area because of the
frequency, extent or duration of the vacancies.
(G) Lack of Ventilation, Light, or Sanitary Facilities. The absence of adequate
ventilation for light or air circulation in spaces or rooms without windows, or that
require the removal of dust, odor, gas, smoke or other noxious airborne
materials. Inadequate natural light and ventilation means the absence of
skylights or windows for interior spaces or rooms and improper window sizes and
amounts by room area to window area ratios. Inadequate sanitary facilities refers
to the absence or inadequacy of garbage storage and enclosure, bathroom
facilities, hot water and kitchens and structural inadequacies preventing ingress
and egress to and from all rooms and units within a building.
(H) Inadequate Utilities. Underground and overhead utilities such as storm
sewers and storm drainage, sanitary sewers, water lines and gas, telephone and
electrical services that are shown to be inadequate. Inadequate utilities are those
that are: (i) of insufficient capacity to serve the uses in the redevelopment project
area; (ii) deteriorated, antiquated, and obsolete or in disrepair; or (iii) lacking
within the redevelopment project area.
(I) Excessive Land Coverage and Overcrowding of Structures and Community
Facilities. The over-intensive use of property and the crowding of buildings and
accessory facilities onto a site. Examples of problem conditions warranting the
designation of an area as exhibiting excessive land coverage are: (i) the presence
of buildings either improperly situated on parcels or located on parcels of
inadequate size and shape in relation to present-day standards of development
for health and safety and (ii) the presence of multiple buildings on a single parcel.
For there to be a finding of excessive land coverage, these parcels must exhibit
one or more of the following conditions: insufficient provision for light and air
within or around buildings, increased threat of spread of fire due to the close
proximity of buildings, lack of adequate or proper access to a public right-of-way,
lack of reasonably required off-street parking or inadequate provision for loading
service.

(J) Deleterious Land-Use or Layout. The existence of incompatible land-use
relationships, buildings occupied by inappropriate mixed-uses, or uses
considered to be noxious, offensive or unsuitable for the surrounding area.
(K) Environmental Clean-Up. The proposed redevelopment project area has
incurred Illinois Environmental Protection Agency or United States
Environmental Protection Agency remediation costs for (or a study conducted by
an independent consultant recognized as having expertise in environmental
remediation has determined a need for) the clean-up of hazardous waste,
hazardous substances or underground storage tanks required by State or federal
law. Any such remediation costs would constitute a material impediment to the
development or redevelopment of the redevelopment project area.
(L) Lack of Community Planning. The proposed redevelopment project area was
developed prior to or without the benefit or guidance of a community plan. This
means that the development occurred prior to the adoption by the municipality of
a comprehensive or other community plan or that the plan was not followed at
the time of the area’s development. This factor must be documented by evidence
of adverse or incompatible land-use relationships, inadequate street layout,
improper subdivision, parcels of inadequate shape and size to meet
contemporary development standards or other evidence demonstrating an
absence of effective community planning.
(M) “Stagnant” EAV. The total equalized assessed value (EAV) of the proposed
redevelopment project area has declined for three (3) of the last five (5) calendar
years, or is increasing at an annual rate that is less than the balance of the
municipality for three (3) of the last five (5) calendar years, or is increasing at an
annual rate that is less than the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers
published by the United States Department of Labor or successor agency for
three (3) of the last five (5) calendar years. The finding is based on the last 5
years for which information is available.

III. EVALUATION METHODOLOGY
In evaluating the proposed RPA’s potential qualification as a TIF District, the following
methodology was utilized:
1) Site surveys of the RPA were undertaken by representatives from Kane, McKenna
and Associates, Inc., supplemented with photographic analysis of the sites. Site
surveys were completed for each parcel of land within the proposed RPA.
2) KMA conducted evaluations of exterior structures and associated site
improvements, noting such conditions as overcrowding and obsolescence.
Additionally, KMA reviewed the following data: 2005-2010 tax information from
Cook County, Sidwell parcel tax maps, historical aerial photos, site data, local
history (including discussions with City staff), and an evaluation of area-wide
factors that have affected the area's development (e.g., obsolescence, deleterious
land-use and layout, etc.).
3) Existing structures and site conditions were initially surveyed only in the context
of checking, to the best and most reasonable extent available, TIF Act factors
applicable to specific structures and site conditions of the parcels.
4) The RPA was examined to assess the applicability of the different factors required
for qualification as a TIF district. Examination was made by reviewing the
information and determining how each measured when evaluated against the
relevant factors. The RPA was evaluated to determine the applicability of the
thirteen (13) different factors, as defined under the Act, which would qualify the
area as a TIF district.

IV. QUALIFICATION FINDINGS FOR PROPOSED RPA
Based upon KMA’s preliminary evaluation of parcels in the proposed RPA and analysis
of each of the eligibility factors summarized in Section II, the following factors are
presented to support qualification of the proposed RPA as a blighted-improved area
under the TIF Act. These factors are summarized in the table below.

Findings for RPA. The proposed RPA meets the qualifications for a blighted-
improved area under the statutory criteria set forth in the TIF Act. KMA reviewed the
criteria needed to qualify the area as a blighted-improved area, determining that 6
factors were likely to be present:
1. Lagging or Declining EAV. The EAV of the TIF District has grown at a rate slower
than the City-wide EAV for 4 of the last 5 years (refer to chart below). Additionally, TIF
District EAV has lagged the Consumer Price Index for 4 of the past 5 years. Therefore, a
finding of lagging EAV is made pursuant to the TIF Act.

2. Excessive Vacancies. The TIF Act states that this finding is characterized by the
presence of unoccupied or underutilized buildings that represent an adverse influence
on the area. The proposed Dempster/Dodge TIF District has numerous vacant or
partially vacant structures, including partial vacancies for 3 structures having the
following addresses/users:
Dempster/Dodge Plaza – Building 1
Former A.J. Wright retailer
1112 Dodge
1118 Dodge
1122 Dodge
1908E Dempster
Dempster/Dodge Plaza – Building 2
Former Frank’s Nursery
Former Dollar Store
1938 Dempster
Former EZ Laundry
1958 Dodge
1960 Dodge
Dempster/Dodge Plaza – Building 3 (Outlot)
1152 Dodge
1168 Dodge
1900A Dempster
According to the current property owner, only 52% of the plaza is leased as of January
2012. Moreover, the remaining unused space is not caused by transitional vacancies or
turnover, but instead are relatively long-term vacancies of approximately one year or
393 of 657
______________________________________________________________________________
8
longer. Because of (a) the reduced economic activity associated with vacancies, (b) the
size of the facility (over 200,000 square feet of built space), and (c) the prominent
location along two major local roads, the vacant structures represent an adverse
influence on the overall TIF District.
3. Obsolescence. The Act states that obsolescence is the condition or process of falling
into disuse or structures that have become ill-suited for their original use. Overall, the
RPA exhibits both functional and economic obsolescence.
Economic obsolescence is manifested by the lagging EAV first and foremost. As
mentioned, the EAV has lagged the City EAV growth rate for 4 of the past 5 years.
Moreover, the most current EAV figures (tax year 2010) are still below the 2005 levels
and have not rebounded.
The numerous store vacancies observed among the 3 Dempster/Dodge Plaza buildings
reflect both economic obsolescence and (in functional terms) a literal “disuse” of
structures. Additionally, the larger vacant spaces are obsolete and would need to be
adapted for smaller end users (requiring the space to be reconfigured for a smaller
layout, changed loading bays, etc.).
4. Deleterious Layout. As noted in Section II, a municipality can make a finding of
deleterious layout or land use when there exists either (a) incompatible land-use
relationships, (b) buildings occupied by inappropriate mixed-uses or uses considered to
be noxious, or (c) uses offensive or unsuitable for the surrounding area. Most of the
problems in the area reflect incompatible land use relationships. The area reflects
piece-meal, uncoordinated development, in which competing land uses abut each other
-- e.g., commercial uses are situated next to residential uses within the TIF District, and
residential uses outside the TIF District abut commercial uses within the TIF District.
KMA observed the following indicators of deleterious land-use/layout:
Minimal buffering between a residential and non-residential uses - In particular, the
commercial structures along Dodge Avenue are situated directly against residences,
with minimal or no buffering.
Ingress and egress are problematic – It is difficult for cars to exit leaving the Dodge
Avenue structures and then turning south (into traffic). The ingress/egress
problems are exacerbated by the fact that the traffic volume is heavy along Dodge
Avenue, in comparison to other north/south streets in the neighborhood.
Loading and unloading – The southern side of the Dempster/Dodge Plaza facility
has a narrow approach for the larger trucks serving the Dominick’s food store.
5. Inadequate Utilities. The Act states that overhead or underground utilities that are
deteriorated, antiquated, obsolete or in disrepair are considered inadequate. Also, those
utilities that lack the capacity to meet future development demands are considered
inadequate. Utilities would include: storm sewers, storm drainage, sanitary sewers,
water lines and gas, telephone and electrical services.
394 of 657
______________________________________________________________________________
9
Based on the City’s Director of Utilities analysis from December 2011, the existing public
utilities in the area are antiquated and obsolete, and certain components reflect
deterioration/disrepair. In particular, aged water mains and combined sewers
demonstrate obsolescence and require repair. The City Engineer’s analysis
demonstrates the following conditions:
- The combined sewer system is generally inadequate, due to age (over 100 years
old) and use of obsolete materials;
- Materials such as brick, cast iron, and clay tile are obsolete, because modern
materials such as PVC pipe, ductile iron and reinforced concrete are now the
industry standard; and
- Water and sanitary sewer for certain components need replacement, including
sewer along Dodge Avenue extending from Dempster to Crain.
According the Director of Utilities, the modern materials are more durable and would be
less likely to fail.
6. Environmental Remediation. As indicated in Section III, a qualifying factor under
the TIF Act relates to environmental remediation if the area has (a) incurred
Illinois/U.S. Environmental Protection Agency remediation costs, or (b) a study has
determined a need for environmental clean-up. The area has previously incurred said
costs, with a “No Further Remediation” letter indicating the absorption of said costs.
Moreover, the efforts to address the environmental problems have resulted in an
“engineered barrier” to prevent the migration of contaminants. While necessary to
protect the environment and complete the clean-up project, the need to leave the
engineered barrier in place has limited the marketability of the parcels within the
proposed TIF District and reduced the re-use potential of the site – thereby creating an
impediment to the redevelopment of the project area.

V. SUMMARY OF FINDINGS; GENERAL ASSESSMENT OF
QUALIFICATION
The following is a summary of relevant qualification findings as it relates to the City
potentially designating the proposed RPA as a TIF District.
The area is contiguous and is greater than 1½ acres in size;
The proposed RPA meets the criteria for a blighted-improved area TIF District, if
the City pursues this course of action. The qualifying factors found in the
proposed RPA are present to a meaningful extent and are evenly distributed
throughout the proposed RPA. A more detailed analysis of the qualification
findings is outlined in Section IV of this report;
All property in the area would substantially benefit by the proposed
redevelopment project improvements;
The sound growth of taxing districts applicable to the area, including the City, has
been impaired by the factors found present in the area; and
The area would not be subject to redevelopment without the investment of public
funds, including property tax increments.
In the judgment of KMA, these preliminary findings support the case for the City to
initiate a formal process to consider the proposed RPA as a TIF District.

III. ITEMS FOR CONSIDERATION
(P1) Resolution 42-R-12 Authorizing the City Manager to Execute an Assignment
of a Real Estate Contract for the Purchase of Real Property at 1600 Foster
Avenue, Evanston
Staff recommends approval of Resolution 42-R-12 authorizing the City Manager to
execute an assignment of a real estate contract for the purchase of 1600 Foster
Avenue, Evanston for $1,500,000. Funding will be provided by the City’s $18.15 million
Neighborhood Stabilization Program 2 Grant. The acquisition of the property at 1600
Foster (“Bishop Freeman Property”) is recommended to implement the first phase of
Emerson Square, a new mixed-income housing development.
For Action
Ald. Rainey asked for an explanation of the remediation approval mentioned in
Resolution 42-R-12. Jolene, Saul, the City’s Housing Specialist for the Neighborhood
Stabilization Program (NSP2), explained that the IEPA will issue a draft no-further-
remediation letter which states that they approve of the remediation plan.
Ald. Rainey asked what sort of contamination is on the property, to which Wayne
Smith Pioneer Environmental, replied that 40-50 samples were done to test the land.
At Ald. Rainey’s inquiry he explained that the contamination was caused by common
industrial solvents and volatile organic contaminant substances and some petroleum-
type contaminants. He explained that they are in the final stage of getting approval for
their approach to the remediation, which will come in the form of a “no further
remediation” letter issued by the IEPA, giving formal approval, within 2 weeks.

At Ald. Rainey’s inquiry, David Brint, of Brinshore Development, explained that the
cost of remediation for the adjoining parcel was deducted from the appraised value.
The cost of remediation of subject property and the adjoining property is estimated to
be $800,000-$1,200,000. The subject property is being purchased for market value
minus the cost of remediation of the adjoining property.
Ald. Rainey moved approval, seconded by Ald. Wynne.
The Committee voted unanimously 5-0 to recommend approval of Resolution
42-R-12.
(P2) Approval of a One Year Extension for Planned Development at 1915-1919
Grey Avenue
Staff recommends that the City Council approve a one year extension of the adopted
Planned Development for the construction of a four unit building by Brinshore
Development, to be located on the currently vacant parcel at 1915-1919 Grey Avenue.
For Action
Ald. Rainey moved approval of the extension, seconded by Ald. Wynne.
The Committee voted unanimously 5-0 to recommend approval.
(P3) Ordinance 48-O-12 Granting Major Zoning Relief for Front Yard Parking and
a Rear Yard Setback at 2627 Lincolnwood Drive
City staff recommends the adoption of Ordinance 48-O-12 granting major zoning relief
to rebuild an attached garage as livable space, establish one open parking space in the
front yard, and construct a two story addition with a rear yard setback of 14.7’ where
30’ is required at 2627 Lincolnwood Drive.
For Introduction
Chair Holmes called the public who wished to speak to the podium.
Nikolai Larbalestier, property owner, explained that he was requesting a variance for
parking in his front yard since it is a unique lot in that it is much smaller than a normal
lot in an R1 district, and it has no alley access. He said he has explored alternatives,
such as parking in the side yard, but there were no practical solutions. He requested
that they be allowed to use the front driveway, which is what they use now.
Ald. Tendam said he supports the variance and that there are no other options and
that the precedents in the neighborhood justified the variance in this case and
requested the rules be suspended so that Council could vote on it this night.
Ald. Wilson moved approval of Ordinance 48-O-12 and suspension of the rules,
seconded by Ald. Wynne.
The Committee voted 4-1 with Ald. Fiske opposed, to recommend introduction
of Ordinance 48-O-12 and suspension of the rules for approval.

(P4) Ordinance 39-O-12, Amending Portions of the Zoning Ordinance Related to
Home Occupations
Staff recommends City Council approval of Ordinance 39-O-12 as revised. Proposed
Ordinance 39-O-12 amends the Zoning Ordinance to reflect the recommendations of
the Plan Commission based on a referral of a previous draft of this proposed
Ordinance by the P&D Committee during its February 13, 2012 meeting.
For Introduction
Ald. Wynne moved to introduce the Ordinance, seconded by Ald. Wilson.
Ald. Rainey said that one of her constituents informed her of a daycare center that
was not occupied by a resident. Only the business was run out of the home, with no
residential occupant. She said the Health Department informed her that it is legal,
though it is not a home occupation.
Steve Griffin, Director of the Community & Economic Development Department
(C&ED) said he would follow up whether there is a zoning issue associated with it.
Chair Holmes moved to hold the item in Committee. She added that amendments
related to home occupation are problematic
Mr. Griffin suggested moving forward with the amendment and using it as a big step
towards alleviation of the current home business problems.
Ald. Fiske said a home based business would otherwise only be allowed in a
commercially zoned area. She asked if staff, when researching the subject further,
would consider why a Bed & Breakfast is not considered a home occupation.
Ald. Wynne agreed with Mr. Griffin to move forward on this longer term issue and
address some of the other issues separately.
Mr. Griffin confirmed that staff would research the other issues related to home based
businesses.
The Committee voted unanimously 5-0 to introduce Ordinance 39-O-12.
(P5) Ordinance 38-O-12 Amending Various Portions of the City Code Relating to
Bed & Breakfast (B&B) Establishments
The Plan Commission recommends amending the Zoning Ordinance to modify the
regulations concerning bed and breakfast establishments. The Commission and its
Zoning Committee considered the recommended changes proposed in Ordinance 38-
O-12 during several meetings. This ordinance was held in Committee on April 23,
2012.
For Introduction
Chair Holmes called the public who wished to speak to the podium:
David Reynolds, of 204 Davis, Evanston, said in the years he and his wife have lived
there, the protection of neighborhoods has been the City’s priority. He said a Bed &
Breakfast is a commercial use in a residential neighborhood. He said he is in favor of
421 of 657
Planning & Development Committee Meeting
Minutes of 5-14-12
Page 4 of 5
the separation of B&B’s in all neighborhoods. If they are allowed to cluster together
they will make the neighborhood much less desirable and it will feel less residential.
He said the owner of the B&B at 300 Davis owns 3 homes in the area. He said if there
is not a required space between B&B’s, the human cost will be borne by the neighbors
and he does not believe it is appropriate for two levels of commercialization to be
allowed.
Tom O’Brien of 210 Davis, Evanston, said the definition that the owner owns 50% of
the property, it is their primary residence, the owner lives in 1 of the bedrooms and
that the special use goes with the land seems to be a loophole in the ordinance. He
believes the owner should live in the B&B and run the B&B, and that the definition of
ownership needs to be clarified. He said he agrees with the elements of the ordinance
that there are no special events allowed and the parking requirement. He said
reasonable measures should be taken to reduce the impact on neighbors.
Dennis Marino, Manager of the Planning & Zoning Division, noted that there is an
error in the memo accompanying the materials related to the item and that the
definition of a special event should read: “persons other than residents and guests and
for which owner receives compensation in any calendar year, should be in any
calendar month.
Ald. Wynne moved to introduce the Ordinance, seconded by Ald. Holmes.
Ald. Wynne said she withdrew her motion to introduce the item and asked staff for
clarification of Subsection 7 regarding special events. She said it could become a
special events space.
Ald. Wynne moved to strike Subsection 7 from the Ordinance, seconded by Ald.
Fiske.
Ald. Rainey agreed with Ald. Wynne that there should be 4 events allowed per year,
for guests only, however, she said, she does not support the 1000’ distance between
B&B’s. Ald. Wilson agreed with Ald. Rainey about the special events. Ald. Fiske said
that the way the ordinance is written, a guest could rent a room and have a wedding in
the backyard and that when music is amplified and guests are outside it would be a
different atmosphere in the neighborhood and could be come commercialized with no
recourse for the neighbors. She said it adds no value to the neighborhood in an R1,
where the character and value should be protected. Ald. Rainey argued that the
number of people would be governed by maximum occupancy rules which are
enforced by the Fire Department.
Ald. Wilson said the section about not allowing additional kitchens after the application
is submitted needs to be clarified because an owner might need to install cooking
facilities after his/her application is approved. He said the intention of the Ordinance
needs to be clarified.
Ald. Wilson said the section regarding special events needs to be re-worded.
422 of 657
Planning & Development Committee Meeting
Minutes of 5-14-12
Page 5 of 5
Ald. Wilson moved to hold the item in Committee until adjustments have been
made.
Ald. Wynne agreed that special events must relate to a guest of the B&B and only 3
events should be allowed per year, or not more than one per quarter. Ald. Holmes
agreed with Ald. Wynne.
Mr. Griffin clarified that 2 points will be revised by staff: the special events and the
kitchen verbage.
Ald. Wilson said they will probably need to discuss the distance between B&B’s also.
Ald. Rainey agreed with Ald. Wilson’s comment that the kitchen wouldn’t be done
before the application was approved. Ald. Wynne said she appreciates staff
researching the distances in other communities: 1,000’ in R1 and 300’ in R3, R5 and
R6. She believes 1,000’ is an appropriate distance in all residential districts. Ald.
Rainey argued that in some districts 1,000’ would allow only one B&B in the district.
Ald. Fiske moved to make 1,000’ the required distance between all B&B’s.
Ald. Rainey moved to make the distance 500’ where it is allowed and
reasonable, seconded by Ald. Wilson.
Ald. Holmes agreed that making the distance 1,000’ in all districts will be too
restrictive.
The Committee voted by majority with 3 for and Aldermen Wynne and Fiske
opposed, to make the distance 500’ in all districts.
Ald. Wilson moved to hold the item in Committee, seconded by Ald. Rainey.
Ald. Rainey asked that staff find out whether the Fire Department checks the capacity
for special events requirements. She asked whether a B&B would need a 1 day liquor
license for a special event, adding that there are restrictions involved in obtaining a 1
day liquor license and in some cases security is required.
The Committee voted unanimously 5-0 to introduce Ordinance 38-O-12 and
bring it back to Committee.

For City Council meeting of June 11, 2012 Item P1
Ordinance 60-O-12: Special Use for a Type II Restaurant at 1806 Church Street
For Introduction and Action
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
Planning and Development Committee
From: Steve Griffin, Director, Community and Economic Development Department
Dennis Marino, Manager, Planning and Zoning Division
Melissa Klotz, Zoning Planner, Planning and Zoning Division
Subject: Ordinance 60-O-12, Granting a Special Use for a Type II Restaurant at
1806 Church Street
Date: June 11, 2012
Recommended Action
Zoning Board of Appeals and City staff recommend the adoption of Ordinance 60-O-12
granting a special use permit for the operation of a Type II Restaurant at 1806 Church
Street. The applicant has complied with all zoning requirements and meets all of the
standards of a Special Use for this District. The Zoning Board of Appeals found this as
well in its findings for a positive recommendation. Suspension of the Rules is requested
for Introduction and Action on June 11, 2012.
Summary
The applicant plans to open Blues, an owner-operated catering business and takeout
restaurant on the corner of Church Street and Darrow Avenue. The proposed location is
a currently vacant first floor space adjacent to a beauty shop and dental office, with
residential units above.
Blues will have no more than three employees at one time. Often times, the owner will be
the only employee on site. All employee parking will be located behind the building,
where there are four total parking spaces, two of which are always available. The
business owner plans to walk to the establishment as often as possible. Catering
deliveries will be made by a personal vehicle, and any future delivery vehicles or trucks
will utilize the private off-street parking.
Blues will not feature any indoor seating, and will rely heavily on foot traffic for the takeout
aspect. Ample street parking is available on both Church Street and Darrow Avenue.
Neighborhood Benefit: This use should not cause any type of negative cumulative effect
on the surrounding neighborhood. This part of Church Street features a number of
businesses of similar intensities. The space Blues plans to locate in faces Church Street
Memorandum
424 of 657
and therefore should not negatively affect the residential area on Darrow Avenue or
cause an increase in traffic. This restaurant/catering business should positively impact
the neighborhood as it will put an operational business in what is currently a vacant
space. Staff is not aware of objections from any neighboring properties.
Comprehensive Plan: The Evanston Comprehensive General Plan encourages
businesses along existing commercial corridors that benefit adjoining neighborhoods.
The Comprehensive Plan specifically includes:
Objective: Recognize the benefits of mixing residential, commercial, and institutional uses
in neighborhoods. Policies and actions that will help accomplish this objective include:
encourage creative adaptive reuse of properties available for redevelopment using zoning
standards. A special use for the proposed location of Blues will promote the existing
commercial area along Church Street and be a creative adaptive reuse of a currently
vacant space without disturbing the nearby residential area.
Legislative History
May 15, 2012: The ZBA recommended the City Council approve the application for a
special use permit with the following conditions:
1. Employee parking must be in the rear of the property.
2. All deliveries must be made in the rear of the property.
3. Hours of operation are limited to 6am – 12am midnight.
4. A litter collection plan must be implemented.

Declaration of Quorum
With a quorum present, Chairman Summers called the meeting to order at 7:32pm.
Approval of Minutes
The minutes from the April 17, 2012 Zoning Board of Appeals meeting were approved with two
corrections.
Old Business
2760 Reese Avenue ZBA 12ZMJV-0019
Member Gallimore cast his vote for approval, which broke the 3-3 tied motion for approval that
was made at the April 17, 2012 ZBA meeting. The motion was approved.
New Business
1806 Church Street ZBA 12ZMJV-0033
Rebecca Shuford, lessee, applies for a special use permit at 1806 Church Street to operate a
Type 2 Restaurant (Blues). 1806 Church Street is located in the B2 – Business Zoning District,
which requires a special use permit for a Type 2 Restaurant (Zoning Code Section 6-9-3-3).
The Zoning Board of Appeals makes a recommendation to City Council, the final determining
body.
Ms. Shuford explained her proposed catering/takeout restaurant in detail. She noted that the
delivery of materials to the restaurant will not be made by large trucks, other than a Coco Cola
truck once every few months. All deliveries will be made in the rear of the property.
Chairman Summers asked if staff discussed the hours of operation relative to this location since
it skirts the downtown area, and Ms. Klotz responded that no, staff simply recommended the
typically approved restaurant hours. Mr. Marino added that the immediate face block is
commercial, so a closing time of midnight would not add a negative impact to nearby
residences.
Alderman Holmes noted there is a history of restaurants in that building that were located in
units closer to the residential area. She added that midnight would be fine.

Zoning Board of Appeals
The Zoning Board of Appeals then entered into deliberation:
Chairman Summers reiterated conditions to add to the special use motion, which include
parking in the rear, and hours of operation from 6am-midnight.
The Standards were then discussed:
1) Yes
2) Yes
3) Yes – there are not a lot of Type 2 Restaurants in the area, so the proposal does not add to
any negative cumulative effect.
4) Yes
5) Yes
6) Yes
7) Yes
8) Yes
9) Yes
Mr. Gingold motioned for approval of the special use, with the following conditions:
1) Hours of operation allowed from 6am-12am midnight
2) Employee parking and deliveries must be in the rear of the property.
Chairman Summers amended the motion to add a litter collection plan to the conditions.
The motion was approved 5-0.
1716 Dodge Avenue ZBA 12ZMJV-0034
Burke Greenwood, architect for SRV Real Estate Development, property owner, applies for
major zoning relief to construct a two story open front porch (yard obstruction). The applicant
requests an interior side yard setback of 2’ where 4.5’ is required (Zoning Code Section 6-4-1-9-
B-1) and a front yard setback of 14.7’ where 24.3’ is required (Zoning Code Section 6-4-1-9-B-
1). The Zoning Board of Appeals is the determining body for this case.
Mr. Greenwood explained the proposal, and that the location of the porches will be rebuilt
mostly within the same footprint.
Ms. Berns asked why the porches should be rebuilt in the existing nonconforming location and
why the stairs need to switch back. Mr. Greenwood replied that there is a sidewalk that
parallels the house, and it would be simplest to be able to leave the sidewalk as is, and the
owner would like the stairs to face the street. Ms. Berns asked why the stairs need to face the
street if that is the second egress, and Mr. Greenwood responded that there is parking and
egress behind the home.
Chairman Summers noted the proposed front porch is larger than the existing front porch. She
then asked whether or not the existing front porch is legal non-conforming. Ms. Klotz explained
that it is likely the front porch is legal nonconforming due to the age of the home. Ms. Berns
added that the stairs are likely not legal nonconforming because they are not very old. She
added that they may have been built without a permit.
Ms. Berns explained that the proposed switch back stair is very imposing from the street view,
and asked if the applicant considered relocating the door on the second floor. Mr. Greenwood
said he will discuss that option with the property owner. He then said if the stair does not switch
back, more concrete will have to be added for the walk to go around the stairs. Ms. Berns noted
that is how the sidewalk currently is, so that option would be cheapest anyway.

Chairman Summers recommended the applicant revise the plans and consider some of the
issues discussed throughout the hearing, and come back to the June 5, 2012 ZBA meeting for a
final vote. The other ZBA members agreed.
Mr. Gingold motioned to continue the hearing to the June 5, 2012 ZBA hearing so that the
applicant could discuss changes with the property owner and alter the proposal. The motion to
continue the hearing was approved 5-0.
The meeting was adjourned at 8:30pm.
This meeting was recorded by video and is available for viewing at the Community and
Economic Development Department, 2100 Ridge Avenue, Evanston.

For City Council meeting of June 11, 2012 Item P2
Ordinance 38-O-12, Amending the Zoning Ordinance Regarding Bed & Breakfast
Establishments
For Introduction
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
Planning and Development Committee
From: Steve Griffin, Director, Community and Economic Development
Dennis Marino, Manager, Planning & Zoning
Subject: Additional Research and Modifications for Ordinance 38-O-12, Amending
Various Portions of the City Code Relating to Bed & Breakfast
Establishments (B&B’s)
Date: May 31, 2012
Summary
During its meeting of May 14, 2012, the Planning and Development Committee
requested that staff further research and clarify the following issues.
Discussion
1. Clarify the draft Ordinance (Ordinance 38-O-12) language concerning the prohibition
of additional kitchens.
Language has been revised and added to make it clear that an existing kitchen may
be replaced, but a second kitchen may only be added for religious reasons. See
Section 2-D: Cooking limitations.
2. Clarify the language regarding the definition of special events.
Language has been revised (Section 3, #7) and added to clarify the definition and to
exclude special events solely for persons who are neither guests nor residents of the
B&B.
3. Include a distance requirement of 500 feet between B&B’s.
This was done by amendment by the Committee on a 3-2 vote (Section 2-M).
4. Determine how the Fire Department regulates capacity for special events.
Memorandum
459 of 657
Page 2
The Fire Department determines maximum occupancy by calculating the square
footage of the property and the appropriate exiting paths. If exiting paths and square
footage permit, up to 50 people may be allowed for an assembly or special event.
5. Determine if a B&B would need a one day liquor license for a special event.
A one day liquor license is required if liquor is being sold.
Legislative History
5/14/12 The Planning and Development Committee discussed Ordinance 38-O-12 and
voted to table the item to allow staff to clarify and revise the Ordinance.
4/23/12 The Planning and Development Committee discussed Ordinance 38-O-12 and

For City Council meeting of June 11, 2012 Item P3
Ordinance 39-O-12: Amending the Zoning Ordinance Related to Home Occupations
For Action
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
Planning and Development Committee
From: Steve Griffin, Director, Community and Economic Development Department
Dennis Marino, Manager, Planning and Zoning Division
Melissa Klotz, Zoning Planner
Subject: Proposed Ordinance 39-O-12, Amending Portions of the Zoning
Ordinance Related to Home Occupations
Date: May 29, 2012
Recommended Action
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Ordinance 39-O-12 as revised. Staff also
recommends consideration of an amendment to the Ordinance to require that a parking
plan be submitted to the Zoning Administrator for approval by major home occupations
that will have employees working in the home who do not live in the home where the
home occupation is occurring. Major home occupations require a permit, minor home
occupations do not. This ordinance was introduced at the May 14, 2012 City Council
meeting.
Summary
Proposed Ordinance 39-O-12 amends the Zoning Ordinance to reflect the
recommendations of the Plan Commission based on a referral of a previous draft of this
proposed Ordinance by the P&D Committee during its February 13, 2012 meeting.
Discussion
The Plan Commission agreed with the previous draft of the proposed ordinance
concerning the list of added prohibited home based occupations and recommended that
garages may be used for any permitted home occupation permitted provided it uses
less than 50% of the garage. Garages are not currently permitted to be used by home
based occupations.
The Plan Commission also supported the prohibition of outdoor display or storage of
materials, goods, supplies or equipment on the premises, except for lawfully parked
vehicles.
Memorandum
496 of 657
The Plan Commission supported the addition of the following uses to the prohibited list
of home occupations due to the fact that these uses cause negative impacts on
surrounding residential properties.
1) Commercial rug/carpet cleaning/repair businesses when the rugs and/or carpets
are cleaned and /or repaired on the premises.
2) Swimming pool cleaning/supply businesses when chemicals for said business
are stored on the premises.
3) Landscaping businesses when equipment, supplies, and/or other materials for
said businesses are stored on the premises.
Staff recommends the requirement of a parking plan submittal for major occupations
that have employees working in the business because of problems that have occurred
where employees have parked all day on a congested residential street and restricted
use of street parking by local residents. In many cases employee parking would not be
a problem where there is excess parking supply on the street, but the submittal of a
parking plan and staff’s evaluation of the block’s capacity to absorb the added parking
demand will help prevent unintended negative impacts. If the parking capacity is not
adequate to absorb the employee parking, then the applicant will be asked to modify the
plan with off street parking provision before approving the permit for the major home
occupation. This provision was not included in the ordinance because it was not
discussed by the Plan Commission and is now being suggested for consideration by
staff based on Aldermanic input.
Legislative History
Ordinance 39-O-12 was discussed by the Planning & Development Committee on
2/13/12 and referred to the Plan Commission for review and recommendations.

PRESIDING OFFICIAL: Ald. Holmes
I. DECLARATION OF QUORUM
A quorum being present, Chair Holmes called the meeting to order at 7:17 p.m.
II. APPROVAL OF THE JANUARY 9, 2012 MEETING MINUTES
Ald. Fiske moved approval of the minutes, seconded by Ald. Wynne.
The minutes of the January 9, 2012 meeting were approved unanimously 5-0.
III. ITEMS FOR CONSIDERATION
(P1) Ordinance 6-O-12, Granting a Special Use for a Child Daycare Center at
1629 Orrington Avenue For Action
Staff recommends approval of Ordinance 6-O-12 as proposed to be amended,
granting a special use permit for the operation of a Child Daycare Center at 1629
Orrington Avenue. The proposed amended Ordinance 6-O-12 reflects P&D Committee
direction to address two aspects of the application for special use by Bright Horizons
Childcare Centers LLC. This ordinance was introduced at the January 9, 2012 City
Council meeting, and will be considered again at the Planning & Development
Committee meeting January 23, 2012.
Chair Holmes called the public who wanted to speak to the podium:
Marsha Fincher of 1400 Ashland, owns an in-home daycare center. She said her first
concern is for safety and she is concerned that so many children could be evacuated
from such a large space in a serious emergency. She is also concerned with the
safety of the children when being picked up and dropped off in such a congested area.
She said she is not only concerned with safety but also best practices regarding the
rooftop playground, as children need room to run and grass to play and roll around in
and she believes this play area will not provide such an atmosphere. Ms. Fincher said
502 of 657
Planning & Development Committee Meeting
Minutes of 1-23-12
Page 2 of 3
best practice would provide the consistency and familiarity that one caregiver a child
becomes used to seeing, which provides security and confidence and she does not
believe this model will provide that. She estimated that with 13.25 children per each of
the 26 rooms proposed, there would need to be 10 teachers in 2 classrooms to
provide optimal development for each infant or toddler. She stated that many children
in Evanston are behind in their development and education. She asked whether the
City is more concerned with filling budget gaps than the development of the children.
She asked whether the City really needs another day care center.
Chair Holmes thanked Ms. Fincher.
Ald. Wilson moved to recommend Ordinance 6-O-12 as amended for action,
seconded by Ald. Rainey.
The Committee voted unanimously 5-0 to recommend Ordinance 6-O-12 as
amended for action.
IV. ITEMS FOR DISCUSSION
(PD1) Discussion of Draft Ordinance XX-O-12, Amending Various Portions of the
Zoning Ordinance to Expand the List of Prohibited Home Based Businesses
Staff recommends that the Planning & Development Committee refer the enclosed
draft Ordinance to the Plan Commission for consideration and recommendation back
to the Planning & Development Committee as a text amendment to the Zoning
Ordinance.
Ald. Rainey moved to refer Draft Ordinance XX-O-12 to the Plan Commission for
consideration, seconded by Ald. Wynne.
Ald. Rainey said she has a few landscapers in her ward who have trucks and
equipment which they keep in the rear of the homes and she would hate to see them
not allowed to run their businesses out of their homes, which are beautifully
landscaped, and about which no neighbors have complained. Neighbors, in fact,
employ them as their landscapers.
Ald. Wilson agreed that he has a similar concern in that he does not want to harm
those whose businesses do not impose on their neighbors. He added, regarding
Subsection C, which addresses storage, that there are young people who mow lawns
and keep their lawn mowers in their garages. He said the Ordinance needs to be
tailored further.
Chair Holmes said the complaints in her ward are about landscapers who keep trucks
and supplies and other equipment in their garages and whose trucks take up parking
spaces on the block, and that people have a right to peace. She understands that
some are not nuisances but wondered how a law can exclude only some. She said a

Ald. Wilson argued that the law should not prevent someone from, for example, fixing
bicycles in his or her garage. He said he would hate to take away someone’s
livelihood that needs to work out of their home.
Steve Griffin, Director of Community and Economic Development, clarified that the
intent of the Ordinance is that the business would not be set up to run completely out
of the garage. He reminded the Committee that landscaping was one of the bigger
concerns. He suggested that the Ordinance be worded to work around incidental use
of the garage as opposed to complete use of the garage.
Ald. Rainey suggested that the Ordinance require landscapers to get a special permit
which requires a specified amount, of signatures, for example 100, from neighbors
stating that they approve of the business. She said she does have one landscaper
who is a nuisance in her ward, but most are not. She agreed with Ald. Wilson about
not wanting to put someone out of business and said home based businesses may be
a result of the economy, to which Chair Holmes replied that this problem has been
going on for 5 years and she does not want to blame the economy.
The Committee voted unanimously 5-0 to refer Draft Ordinance XX-O-12 to the
Plan Commission for consideration and referral back to the Planning &
Development Committee.

For Planning &Development Committee meeting of January 23, 2012 Item PD1
Ordinance XX-O-12 Amending Portion of the Zoning Ordinance Expanding the List of
Prohibited Home Based Businesses
For Discussion
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
Planning and Development Committee
From: Steve Griffin, Director of Community and Economic Development Dept.
Dennis Marino, Manager, Planning and Zoning Division
Melissa Klotz, Zoning Planner
Subject: Discussion of Draft Ordinance XX-O-12, amending various portions of
the Zoning Ordinance to expand the list of prohibited home based
businesses
Date: January 18, 2012
Recommended Action
Staff recommends that the Planning & Development Committee refer the enclosed
draft Ordinance to the Plan Commission for consideration and recommendation back
to the Planning & Development Committee as a text amendment to the Zoning
Ordinance. The Plan Commission reference should include a deadline for a Plan
Commission action that would enable the Planning & Development Committee to
consider this Ordinance for its meeting on February 27, 2012. In addition to the
referral of the draft Ordinance to the Plan Commission that would increase the number
of prohibited home based businesses that are incompatible with residential
neighborhoods, staff recommends that the City establish a voluntary registry for all
home based businesses at no cost to the home based business. All home based
businesses would be encouraged to join the registry thereby providing the City an
inventory of home based businesses of all types, not just the major home based
businesses requiring a permit. This registry could be published on the City’s website.
Summary
Multiple discussions have occurred in 2011 meetings of the Planning & Development
Committee and the Zoning Committee of the Plan Commission concerning the need to
address the negative impacts of some home based businesses. These discussions
also highlighted the importance of home based businesses as a form of economic
development, especially in difficult economic times, provided they are compatible with
residential neighborhoods.
Memorandum
505 of 657
The types of businesses identified previously as not being compatible with residential
neighborhoods based on specific incidents were: landscaping businesses, swimming
pool cleaning and supply businesses and commercial rug cleaning & repairing
businesses. The draft ordinance enclosed lists these businesses as prohibited home
based businesses in certain circumstances. Commercial rug/carpet cleaning
businesses would be prohibited when the rugs and/or carpets are cleaned and repaired
on the premises of the home occupation. Swimming pool cleaning/supply and/or
landscaping or construction businesses would be prohibited when equipment, supplies
and/or other materials are stored on the premises of the home occupation.
The voluntary registry that staff recommended previously in this memorandum for all
home based businesses would provide a method of creating an inventory for home
based businesses in the City, including those home based businesses that do not
require a permit. This can also be a method for communication with home based
businesses including making these businesses aware of economic opportunities. It will
also help communication about other services as well as informing businesses of the
existing City regulations and requirements for home based businesses. Staff research
has not identified an existing Illinois municipality that takes this approach on a voluntary
basis, but there are a few examples of voluntary registry efforts by government
nationally. One example is in Virginia where home based child care services in the
home serving five or fewer children can register with the Virginia Department of Social
Services even though home based entities of this type are not required to secure a state
license.
Staff has also conducted additional research among peer group Big Ten University
cities recently to determine their approach to regulation and encouragement of home
based businesses. Iowa City’s regulatory approach is similar to Evanston. It requires a
permit for certain home businesses that are more likely to impact neighbors, but does
not require a permit for smaller home based businesses. Madison, Wisconsin; Lansing,
Michigan; Bloomington, Indiana; and Ann Arbor, Michigan do not require licenses or
registration of home based businesses. Urbana, Illinois does require licensing.
As stated in previous reports to the Planning and Development Committee, five of the
seven nearby Chicago area communities surveyed (Glenview, Park Ridge, Oak Park,
Niles and Arlington Heights) require the licensing or registration of home based
businesses while two do not require a license or registration (Skokie and Highland
Park). Home based businesses licensed by the state preempt the ability of
municipalities to also license these businesses, but such businesses are not exempt
from local government zoning requirements. Examples of state licensed businesses are
realtors, mortgage bankers, doctors and day care centers.
Park Ridge and Arlington Heights list home based businesses on their websites
generated through their permit requirements.

The packets submitted for the July 11, 2011 and June 13, 2011 P&D Committee
meetings have been enclosed as well as the approved minutes of each meeting.
Background
Chapter 5 of the Zoning Ordinance regulates allowable home based businesses in
Evanston. Examples of allowed home based businesses are attorneys, therapists,
telephone sales and dressmaking, among others. Chapter 5 also lists occupations
prohibited from being legal home based businesses. These prohibited occupations
include animal hospitals, barbershops, medical or dental clinics, and welding shops,
among others. The City further categorizes allowable home based businesses as Major
Home Occupations or Minor Home Occupations. A Major Home Occupation (MHO)
allows a home based business to use a higher percentage of their home for an
allowable business than a Minor Home Occupation, 25% to 15%. A MHO also allows a
higher number of on-site employees (2 non-residents compared to none), and a higher
number of on-site client visits (12 over a 24 hour period compared to 6), among other
differences.
Due to differences in the intensity of Major and Minor Home Occupation uses, the City
issues Major Home Occupation businesses a permit. For a Major Home Occupation
permit, the City charges an eligible business a one-time $25 fee. For an eligible Minor
Home Occupation business, the business may operate without a Certificate of Zoning
Compliance and the City does not assess a fee. The lack of a need for a permit
corresponds to the historical low impact of minor home occupation to surrounding
residents.

Subject: Resolution 39-R-12 Authorizing the City Manager to Adjust Tenant Lease
Conditions at the Noyes Cultural Arts Center as of January 1, 2013,
Addressing Funding of Future Capital Projects at the Center and

potential amendments to 2012 leases as appropriate and new lease conditions for City
Council consideration.
These discussions have developed a series of changes to the operation of the Noyes
Cultural Arts Center. I am recommending that the City Council approve Resolution 39-
R-12 to implement the following:
Changes to Tenant Lease Conditions as of January 1, 2013
1. The City will enter into leases with tenants ranging from one year to three
years as standard. The City will consider entering into leases longer than

2. Tenants will be responsible for submitting reports to the City every six months
certifying their tenancy of twenty five hours per week. Reports will include
use of all areas in the building included in lease. Failure to provide reports
and/or meet minimum requirements will be grounds for termination of
lease.
3. Tenants will be able to sublease their space as desired as long as the
sublease is for no longer than half time. Subleases must be filed with the
City of Evanston.
4. Establish a rent increase for 2013 and work with the Noyes Tenants
Association on future rent adjustments.
Funding of Future Capital Projects
1. The City will establish a specific subfund for all revenue and expenses
associated with the Noyes Center. All money generated by the Noyes
Center will be spent on the Center.
2. The City will work with the Noyes Tenants Association on a fundraising plan
to support facility-wide capital improvements at Noyes.
Recognition of Noyes Tenants Association

1. Review reports from tenants certifying their tenancy and community service
provided per the lease agreement.
2. Review requirements for community service of tenants annually and make
recommendations to the City for any additions or changes.
3. Review subleases of tenants.
4. Review proposed annual operating budget for Center and proposed rental
increases.
5. Review annual and five year capital improvement program for Center and
make recommendations to City on spending priorities.

7. Review applications of new tenants at Noyes and make recommendations to
the City on suitability of new tenants.
8. Develop and implement marketing strategies for the Center.
In addition to the changes outlined in Resolution 39-R-12, the City of Evanston’s
Cultural Arts Division will be relocated to the Civic Center beginning January 1, 2013.
This space will be leased to interested artists.
Staff will continue to work with the Noyes Tenants Association on various issues
throughout the balance of 2012. In addition, staff continues to negotiate a long term
lease with the Piven Theater Workshop for use of the Center and other occupancy
issues. Staff will return to the City Council in early Fall, 2012 with an agreement for
your consideration.

Business of the City by Motion: Façade Improvements for Unicorn Café
For Action
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
From: Steve Griffin, Director, Community and Economic Development
Nancy Radzevich, Economic Development Manager
Johanna Nyden, Economic Development Coordinator
Subject: Approval for Financial Assistance through the Façade Improvement
Program for Unicorn Café (1732 Sherman Avenue)
Date: June 1, 2012
Recommended Action:
The Economic Development Committee and staff recommend approval for financial
assistance for façade improvements for Unicorn Cafe, located at 1732 Sherman Avenue
(PIN 11-18-127-018-0000) on a 50/50 cost-sharing basis not to exceed $1,050.
Funding Source:
The funding for this assistance is recommended to come from the Economic
Development Fund’s Business District Improvement Fund (Account: 5300.65522). The
approved Fiscal Year 2012 Budget allocated a total of $147,000 for this account, of
which $75,000 was designated for the Façade Improvement Program. To date,
$5,564.60 has been spent and an additional $15,150 approved from this account.
Summary:
The Façade Improvement Program provides an incentive to property owners and their
commercial tenants to reinvest in the exterior appearance of their property or business.
Applicants are eligible to receive a forgivable loan of up to 50% of the total qualifying
project cost. Applicants must obtain three written bids for each work component of a
proposed project. One of the three bids must come from an Evanston-based contractor.
The program helps improve the aesthetics of a commercial building while
simultaneously improving the overall aesthetics of a business district.
Unicorn Café, located at 1723 Sherman Avenue, proposes to install a new awning on
their storefront. Awnings are listed as eligible façade improvement projects under the
program. The project includes the installation of the new fabric awning on the existing
metal frame. The reuse of their existing metal frame is noted as a measure of
sustainability on their application.
Memorandum
579 of 657
The fabric of the existing awning is in poor condition. The new awning will provide
patrons entering and exiting the café as well as those choosing to sit outside improved
protection from the elements. Unicorn Café also hopes to increase their visibility and
enhance their appearance along Sherman Avenue with the installation of the new
awning fabric.
According to the Cook County Treasurer’s office, this property is current with their
property taxes.
Legislative History:
At its May 23, 2012 meeting, the Economic Development Committee recommended
approval of this item (9-0).

To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
From: Steve Griffin, Director, Community and Economic Development
Nancy Radzevich, Economic Development Manager
Johanna Nyden, Economic Development Coordinator
Subject: Approval of Financial Assistance through the Façade Improvement
Program for Koi Restaurant (624 Davis Street)
Date: June 1, 2012
Recommended Action:
The Economic Development Committee and staff recommend approval for financial
assistance for façade improvements for KOI Restaurant, located at 624 Davis Street
(PIN 11-18-312-018-0000) on a 50/50 cost-sharing basis not to exceed $1,975.
Funding Source:
The funding for this assistance is recommended to come from the Washington-National
Tax Increment Financing Fund – Other Charges Account (Account: 5470.62605). The
approved Fiscal Year 2012 Budget allocated $535,000 for this account. To date
$30,000 has been spent, and an additional $9,500 has been approved by City Council
that has yet to be spent.
Summary:
KOI, located at 624 Davis Street, proposes to purchase and install a 120” long air
curtain along the top of the windows on the northern (Davis Street) façade of the
building. Air curtains provide a constant flow of air across an opening effectively
separating two areas from one another and are required by Illinois Department of Health
for restaurants that open their windows during dining hours. The installation of an air
curtain would allow KOI restaurant to open its front windows, which were not designed
to have screens, while guests are dining. The air curtain would keep air conditioning
and/or heat within the restaurant while keeping insects and other exterior environmental
elements out of the dining area.
KOI maintains that the ability to offer their customers dining within a space that opens to
the outdoors increases the number of customers. The ability to create an “open air”
dining space provides the benefits of outdoor dining, without excessive exposure to the
Memorandum
596 of 657

elements. Additionally it helps enhance the sense of activity on Davis Street by creating
open access between the street and sidewalk and the restaurant.
KOI obtained three bids for the purchase and installation of an air curtain at their
restaurant as is required by the Program Guidelines. However, the purchase and
installation of an air curtain is a customized project and currently there are no Evanston-
based businesses that provide this service. As such, all three bids are from businesses
outside of Evanston. Staff and the Economic Development Committee accept this as a
reasonable waiver to this program requirement.
According to the Cook County Treasurer’s office, this property is current with their
property taxes.

Paul Zalmezak, Economic Development Coordinator
Subject: Resolution 48-R-12 Technology Innovation Center (TIC) 2012 Funding
Request
Date: June 7, 2012
Recommended Action:
The Economic Development Committee (“Committee”) and staff recommend approval
of Resolution 48-R-12 authorizing the City Manager to execute the third Modification to
the Funding Agreement with the Technology Innovation Center (“TIC”) and approval of
a $25,000 grant to the TIC for assistance with staffing and programming costs for a
three month period, April 1, 2012 through June 30, 2012. The current grant of $25,000
shall be distributed within 30 days of City Council approval.
The Committee and staff further recommend that the TIC is eligible for an additional
$50,000 grant, for the balance of FY2012 (July 1, 2012 through December 31, 2012),
subject to their successful completion of the nine tasks outlined on page 3 of this
memorandum and subsequent staff and Economic Development Committee
recommendation to City Council for approval.
Funding Source:
Staff recommends funding this grant from the Economic Development Fund’s Economic
Development Partnership Contribution Account (#5300.62659). The approved FY2012
budget includes a total of $280,000 for this account, of which Staff budgeted $100,000
for TIC.
Background:
The TIC is a non-profit business incubator dedicated to supporting the growth of early
stage technology-based businesses. The TIC rents approximately 20,000 square feet
Memorandum
For City Council meeting of June 11, 2012 Item O3

of office space to nearly 40 businesses in the 81,000 square foot 820 Davis Street office
building in downtown Evanston and approximately 7,000 square feet of office/lab space
to six companies at 825 Chicago Avenue. The attached memo to the Economic
Development Committee describes the TIC business model and updated proposal in
detail.
On February 13, 2012 the City Council approved a $25,000 grant to the TIC to support
staffing and programming costs for the incubator for the first quarter of FY2012 (January
1-March 31, 2012). If the balance of the grant award is approved, the total FY2012
grant to the TIC will be $100,000. This is consistent with City’s past grant awards to
the TIC for FY2011 ($75,000 for a 9 month period) and FY10/11 ($100,000 for a twelve
month period).
Summary:
The Economic Development Committee and City Council support of additional funding
for the TIC for FY12, beyond the initial $25,000 grant, was predicated on the TIC
providing a plan that diversifies and reduces the TIC’s reliance on city funding. The City
Council also asked staff to work with TIC to identify the companies in the TIC, the jobs
created, and a plan for “second stage” retention in addition to identifying appropriate
return on investment outcome measures.
In response, Staff has worked closely with the TIC since the February 13, 2012
presentation to City Council, to draft the attached report, which is an initial effort to:
1. Ensure that key information about the companies (e.g. number of employees,
tenure, industry) is more readily available to staff and the City Council;
2. Describe the business model, including board of directors, advisory board, staff
job descriptions, and the role of the “real estate” (i.e. 820 Davis, LLC) with TIC
operations.
3. Highlight the TIC staff job descriptions;
4. Convey the results/outcomes of the programs and seminars provided by the TIC;
5. Create a new framework for measuring the success of the TIC, in order to track
the “return on investment.”
6. Outline the FY 2012 Funding Request in a simplified fashion including sources
and uses of funds.
7. Summarize the Evanston Business Investment Company (EBIC) plan (details of
which are proprietary) that the TIC has created for the dual purpose of reducing
reliance on City funding and also providing an investment vehicle (“angel fund”)
for startups.
614 of 657

8. Describe the services TIC provides to its client companies and the broader
Evanston technology community
9. Create the framework for tracking detailed information about TIC clients and
providing the base from which to measure TIC success and the City’s Return on
Investment including incubation tenure, retention rates, jobs created, and others.
10. Provide a tool for proactive retention measures. The client roster database
provides an excellent resource for city Staff to launch its retention efforts and
marketing efforts. The TIC may not be responsible for the number of jobs
created or the number of firms retained. They should be held accountable,
however, for reporting timely information and providing City staff with access to
the TIC firms for retention efforts.
Because staff believes the TIC / City of Evanston partnership yields a number of public
benefits through the nurturing and promoting of the Evanston-based start up culture and
businesses, staff supports funding of the TIC for the balance of FY12, pending the
completion of the remaining tasks outlined below. City staff and TIC staff will continue
to work together to clearly define the partnership and to design specific performance
measures and outcomes to fairly and objectively assess the “return on investment” to
the City of Evanston.
While the increased frequency of meetings between staff and TIC has helped to
develop a framework towards a more effective partnership, staff acknowledges, as
reflected in the recommendation that follows, that there is still some additional work to
be done. The objective is to enhance this relationship and assist the TIC in becoming a
more strategic partner as the City seeks to promote and develop a stronger
entrepreneurial, technology and innovative business community.
Recommendation
At their May 23, 2012 meeting, the Economic Development Committee voted 8 to 1 to
recommend to the City Council an Economic Development grant in the amount of
$75,000 in two payments. The first payment of $25,000 for the period April 1, 2012
through June 30, 2012 would be paid within 30 days of City Council approval of this
grant. The remaining $50,000 would be paid upon staff recommendation, and
subsequent Committee and City Council approval, subject to the TIC’s successful
completion of the following:
1. Finish the client and alumni roster

2. Host a major business plan/pitch day competition in downtown Evanston in
2012.
3. Establish a defined meeting schedule of the Board of Directors;
4. Further define the role of the Advisory Board members and provide a plan for
expanding and diversifying the Board membership
5. In conjunction with staff, create a detailed plan to launch a more dynamic
program squarely aimed at marketing the TIC and the City of Evanston as the
premier City for startups.
6. Provide City staff access to TIC clients for proactive retention efforts and
develop a protocol to alert economic development staff when a client firm is
seeking to expand.
7. Continue weekly TIC / staff meetings
8. Utilize a web based RSVP service (e.g. Eventbrite) for all TIC hosted seminars,
and events to consistently track attendance by TIC and other Evanston
companies from outside the TIC and to facilitate generation of reports to the City.
9. Implement the use of a web based opinion survey for each event about quality /
relevance of seminar information and presenters and use the results for reports
to City and for self-evaluation of the program topics, speakers, etc...
Legislative History:
On February 13, 2012 the City Council approved $25,000 for the first quarter of FY
2012. The funding was dependent upon TIC’s agreement to work closely with Staff to
redefine the deliverables and for the TIC to work diligently to identify a new funding
structure.
On May 23, 2012 the Economic Development Committee voted 8 to 1 to recommend
the City Council approve the financial assistance to the Technology Innovation Center.

To: Chair and Members of the Economic Development Committee
From: Nancy Radzevich, Economic Development Manager
Paul Zalmezak, Economic Development Coordinator
Subject: Technology Innovation Center (TIC) 2012 Funding Request
Date: May 18, 2012
Recommendation
Staff supports a recommendation from the Economic Development Committee (EDC) to
the City Council to provide an Economic Development grant to the Technology
Innovation Center in the amount of $75,000 for the period April 1, 2012 through
December 31, 2012. The first payment of $25,000 would be distributed upon City
Council approval for the period of April 1, 2012 through June 30, 2012. The second
payment would occur upon successful completion of a series of recommended tasks
outlined in this memo upon Economic Development Committee recommendation and
City Council approval.
Funding Source
Staff recommends funding this grant from the Economic Development Fund’s Economic
Development Partnership Contribution Account (5300.62659). The approved FY12
budget allocated a total of $500,000 to this account, of which $100,000 was budgeted
for potential TIC assistance.
Discussion
At the January 25, 2012 meeting, the Economic Development Committee
recommended approval of $25,000 of funding assistance to the TIC, for the period of
January 1, 2012 through March 31, 2012; this was in turn approved by City Council on
February 13, 2012. The Committee indicated that support of additional funding for
FY12 would be predicated on a plan that diversifies, and reduces the reliance on city
funding of the TIC. The Committee also asked staff to work with TIC to identify the
companies in the TIC, the jobs created, and a plan for retention.
In response, Staff has worked closely with the TIC since the January 25, 2012
presentation to EDC, to draft the attached report, which is an initial effort to:
1. Ensure that key information about the companies, number of employees, etc. is
more readily available to staff and the EDC;
Memorandum
622 of 657
2. Describe the business model, including board of directors, advisory board, staff
job descriptions, and the role of the “real estate” (i.e. 820 Davis, LLC) with TIC
operations.
3. Highlight the TIC staff job descriptions;
4. Convey the results/outcomes of the programs and seminars provided by the TIC;
and
5. Create a new framework for measuring the success of the TIC, in order to track
the “return on investment.”
6. Outline the FY 2012 Funding Request in a simplified fashion including sources
and uses of funds.
7. Summarize the Evanston Business Investment Company (EBIC) plan (details of
which are proprietary) that the TIC has created for the dual purpose of reducing
reliance on City funding and also providing an investment vehicle (“angel fund”)
for startups.
8. Describe the services TIC provides to its client companies and the broader
Evanston technology community
9. Create the framework for tracking detailed information about TIC clients and
providing the base from which to measure TIC success and the City’s Return on
Investment including incubation tenure, retention rates, jobs created, and others.
10. Provide a tool for proactive retention measures. The client roster database
provides an excellent resource for city Staff to launch its retention efforts and
marketing efforts. The TIC may not be responsible for the number of jobs
created or the number of firms retained. They should be held accountable,
however, for reporting timely information and providing City staff with access to
the TIC firms for retention efforts.
While staff believes that the increased frequency of meetings with TIC has helped to
develop a framework towards a more effective partnership, staff acknowledges that
there is still some additional work to be done in order to better enhance this relationship
and assist the TIC in becoming a more strategic partner as the City seeks to develop a
stronger entrepreneurial, technology and innovative business community.
While one measure of their success is the fact that the TIC has sustained a relatively
low vacancy rate and has provided a forum to launch some very successful companies,
staff believes there are a number of opportunities to enhance and improve the TIC and
help them become a more dominate player in the technology/start up community and to
be one of the lead partners in the City’s efforts to move galvanize our start up
community/culture.
One of the key areas of improvement is with respect to the marketing of the TIC, their
successes, their firms’ successes, etc. In the coming months staff and TIC will work to
create a framework and launch a new marketing initiative. Using occupancy levels as a
measure of success, TIC is highly successful and therefore, one could argue, does not
623 of 657
require additional resources for marketing. However, the startup culture – the new
breed of entrepreneurs – thrives on collaboration and networking. But, also, on
aggressive multi-media marketing and promotion. The competition is growing.
A number of new ventures have launched in Chicago, including “1871” at the
Merchandise Mart, which promise not only inexpensive/subsidized space in a world
class environment within a world class office property but a network of likeminded
individuals. Technexus and Excelerate Labs – two existing incubators in Chicago – will
continue to attract the brightest and most promising firms from all over the region.
These companies are proximate to the events held in the Loop including Technori,;
Built in Chicago, and Illinois Technology Association. Companies within 1871 Chicago,
such as Code Academy, are providing services to startups at a very low cost. As these
Chicago-based incubators are raising the bar for incubators, Evanston will need to
consider how to enhance the opportunities within Evanston and/or look for a more
distinctive edge in order to continue attract and sustain our start up business
community.
While inexpensive space is key to attracting a startup company, the internal social
network, targeted specialized educational programming, mentorships, and access to
modern technology – in an attractive environment - are very important as well.
City staff will continue to work with the TIC to create and implement a marketing plan
that promotes the successes of the TIC and the individual client companies. Further ,
staff will work with TIC to identify opportunities for capacity building related to the use of
modern marketing techniques including social media outlets, Tumblr blogs, and others,
as needed.
In the short-term, staff will post TIC announcements and events in the Economic
Development Newsletter as well as through City-based social media channels. Staff will
also commit space and feature on regular basis information about individual TIC clients
through Facebook and our newsletter, as well as the new web-based reporting/website
launching later this year.
Longer term, staff will work with the TIC to draft a plan for the creation of a modernized
and redesigned “front of the house” conference / collaborative office space on the first
floor within 820 Davis that clearly projects the modern nature of the startup culture.
Staff recognized this may involve some additional assistance from the City.
Finally, staff will work with TIC on a plan to broaden its promotion of its achievements
throughout the Chicagoland technology and entrepreneur community. This includes
having prominent roles in speaker series, panels, attending startup events such as Built
in Chicago, Technori, or others. Staff will continue to encourage collaboration with other
624 of 657
Evanston based startup oriented individuals and companies such as CoLab Evanston,
Creative Coworking, and Now We’re Cookin’ as examples.
In addition to a more targeted marketing program – to promote in a modern way the
accomplishments and events at the TIC - staff suggests a number of additional tasks to
be completed by TIC. These tasks will provide the Committee and City Council with
additional outcome/performance measures. Staff suggests that there are other
opportunities to improve and enhance the TIC – such as consideration of expansion
and/or diversification of the Board, utilization of web-based “evite” and survey systems
to track the programs, program quality, and attendees. And importantly, TIC and staff
will continue the progress made to establish a more open partnership between the TIC,
the staff and the TIC client firms to allow for more opportunities for city assistance in
expansion and retention efforts.
Recommendation
Because staff believes the TIC / City of Evanston partnership yields a number of public
benefits through the nurturing and promoting of the Evanston-based start up culture,
staff supports funding of the TIC for the balance of FY12. Staff is seeking a
recommendation from the Economic Development Committee to the City Council to
provide an Economic Development grant in the amount of $25,000 for the period April 1,
2012 through June 30, 2012 to be paid within 30 days of City Council approval of this
grant.
City staff and TIC staff will continue to work together to clearly define the partnership
and to design specific performance measures and outcomes to fairly and objectively
assess the “return on investment” to the City of Evanston. The remaining $50,000 would
be paid upon staff recommendation, and subsequent Committee and City Council
approval of the successful completion of the following:
1. Finish the client and alumni roster and develop a schedule for regular updates
and reporting to the City.
2. In collaboration with coLab Evanston and other Evanston-based technology
partners (to be determined in collaboration with Staff), TIC will host a major
business plan/pitch day competition in downtown Evanston in 2012.
3. Provide City staff access to TIC clients for proactive retention efforts. Specifically,
TIC shall facilitate initial introductions of City staff to all TIC clients to reinforce
the partnership with the city. This will allow staff to monitor TIC client incubation
tenure and proactively reach out to the TIC and client firms who are approaching
and/or exceeding the national average incubation tenure period. (The average
incubation period, according to the National Business Incubation Association is
2.5 years.) TIC shall develop a schedule to provide staff with updates on TIC
client contact information.
625 of 657
4. Establish a more defined meeting schedule of the Board of Directors;
5. Further define the role of the Advisory Board members and provide a plan for
expanding and diversifying the Board membership
6. In conjunction with staff, create a detailed plan to launch a more dynamic
program squarely aimed at marketing the TIC and the City of Evanston as the
premier City for startups.
7. TIC shall develop a protocol to alert economic development staff when a client
firm is seeking to relocate out of the TIC in order to allow City staff the
opportunity to present potential retention options to encourage companies to
expand in Evanston.
8. Continue weekly TIC / staff meetups Periodically, staff will present economic
development initiatives and potential retention opportunities to TIC client firms at
these meetings. The meetups also provide staff an opportunity to learn from
firms how the city can improve its nurturing of the startup ecosystem
9. Utilize a web based RSVP service (e.g. Eventbrite) for all TIC hosted seminars,
events, etc. to consistently track attendance by TIC and other Evanston
companies from outside the TIC and to facilitate generation of reports to the City.
10. Implement the use the of an opinion survey for each event about quality /
relevance of seminar information and presenters and use the results for reports
to City and for self-evaluation of the program topics, speakers, etc..

I. TIC Introduction
The Technology Innovation Center (TIC) is a not-for-profit business incubator dedicated
to supporting the growth of very early stage technology-based businesses. It is an
entrepreneurial business environment that fosters collaboration and sharing among
young companies, while respecting the independence and self-reliance that motivates
entrepreneurs. It is a community with a culture that supports risk taking, invention and
the creation of wealth.
Since 1986, the incubator has accumulated a wealth of experience in supporting the
growth of innovative technology companies. Tech entrepreneurs in the TIC benefit from
the accumulated knowledge of entrepreneurial best practices built up through 25 years
of business incubation in Evanston.
The Technology Innovation Center has approximately 25,000 square feet in two
facilities in Evanston located at 820 Davis and 825 Chicago. Together, they provide
office, laboratory and light manufacturing space for start ups. Amenities include
conference areas, reception, and digital telephone, internet, and kitchen facilities. TIC
offers short-term leases and flexible space options designed for early stage companies.
In addition to the favorable lease options, TIC offers a number of services including
business planning, legal clinics, seminars, networking events, and access to
Northwestern University faculty and student interns.
The TIC has served over 350 technology startups since its founding, with approximately
25 firms staying in Evanston upon graduating who employ nearly 500 people. Many
companies have relocated to the greater Chicago area upon graduating. While some
are well known, including Peapod and Illinois Superconductor (ISCO), others are
growing rapidly and attracting attention, including Leapfrog Online, Aginity, and Vibes
Media.
The TIC has received recognition for its many successes over the years. Forbes.com
named TIC one of the “Ten Technology Incubators Changing the World” in 2010, and
TIC was named “Business Incubator of the Year” in 1997 by the National Business
Incubation Association. The TIC has been supported in part through partnerships,
beginning with a partnership with the City of Evanston and Northwestern University. TIC
partnered with the Japan External Trade Organization (JETRO) for 10 years, and is
currently partnering with the City of Evanston. The public/private/institutional partnership
model is commonplace amongst the nation’s leading incubators including The UIC
Incubator and EnterpriseWorks at UIUC, which partner with educational institutions.
This partnership is required because private market support is rare outside of incubator
models where private investors have equity stakes in client companies. This private
investment model does not work for the TIC for the following reasons:
627 of 657
2
1. A private incubator taking equity requires a fund. The TIC does not yet have a
fund, but is working to create one.
2. Private equity-based incubators can't support bootstrappers (i.e. starting a
business without external capital.) These bootstrapping startups provide a large
number of jobs for the community, and may even be a more cost-effective way of
creating jobs.
This plan addresses a number of concerns raised by members of the Economic
Development Committee, the City Council, and Evanston taxpayers including the return
on investment and the role of the real estate entity relative to the TIC tenant. The TIC is
seeking ongoing support from the City of Evanston through the end of 2012 in the
amount of $75,000. During the next 4 months, the TIC will complete the framework with
timelines and deliverables outlining our plan to establish additional funding partners
aiming for a first quarter 2013 round of funding.

I. TIC Clients
Attached is the template TIC and economic development staff have agreed to use to
track TIC’s performance or “return on investment.” TIC has committed to maintaining
this database moving forward and has agreed to do the research necessary to provide
the information requested for alumni companies. TIC agrees that the next round of
funding will be predicated on completing the database. The TIC database is critical to
providing economic development staff the important measures of success including
incubation rates, jobs created, retention opportunities and marketing/promotion of the
incubator’s successes. Staff will be given an opportunity to proactively contact client
companies to promote retention/expansion opportunities within the City. The database
will also provide simple measures such as what types of businesses are incubating
(industry class) and tenure period.
Due to the proprietary nature of the TIC client listing, we ask that the listing remain a
confidential document. Economic Development staff will present the client listing in its
powerpoint presentation on May 23rd in the interim until an agreed upon method of
disseminating the information in confidence is determined.
Aggregated Report
The TIC completed a preliminary report based on a survey of Incubator companies and
alumni located in Evanston. TIC sent a questionnaire to 60 Incubator alumni and current
companies, and so far have collected responses from 35 of these companies (a 58%
response rate). These include many of the larger Incubator alumni companies in
Evanston, but several of the largest have not responded yet. The table following
summarizes the data to date.

TIC found that the 8 largest responding alumni companies currently employ 458 full-
time employees, up from 320 full-time employees for the same group in July, 2010. This
is an increase in employment of 70%. Please be aware that these figures are for total
employment, not limited exclusively to Evanston, though we believe the vast majority of
jobs are local.

Ten out of 35 respondents gave revenue figures (a 29% response rate). They report
total revenues of $22,635,000 in 2011. Eight graduate companies report 84,300 total sq.
ft. in Evanston under rental for an average of slightly more than 10,000 feet per
company. These totals will grow considerably as more responses come in.
TIC will continue to gather survey data. However, one can conclude that current and
former TIC companies constitute the fastest growing sector of small business in
Evanston.

II. FY 2012 Request for Funding
For fiscal year 2012, the Technology Innovation Center (TIC) has sought a $100,000
Economic Development Grant to help fund the operations of the incubator. The
Economic Development Committee approved a payment of $25,000 at the January 25,
2012 Economic Development Committee meeting. The TIC is seeking the remaining
$75,000.
The TIC proposes a number of sources for funding operations in FY 2012, summarized
in the table that follows.
Technology Innovation Center – FY 2012 Source of Funds
Total % of Total
City of Evanston $100,000 50.9%
Phone, Internet, Program Fee $57,000 29.0%
Contributions $29,000 14.8%
CDBG $5,000 2.5%
Reimbursements $2,400 1.2%
Parking $3,000 1.5%
Total $196,400 100.0%
Proposed TIC Public Funding Sources
The City of Evanston economic development funding represents just over half of the
TIC operating budget. As summarized in the Uses section of this report, nearly $70,000
of the City’s funding is allocated to TIC staff. The remainder supports the expanded
internet bandwidth, marketing, a portion of the TIC’s rent to 820 Davis, and professional
fees associated with consultants and seminars.
Other TIC Public Funding Sources
In addition to the City of Evanston Economic Development grant request, TIC was
approved for $5,000 in CDBG funds for its Evanston Business Ownership Initiative
which provides business consulting to micro enterprises and entrepreneurs seeking to
start a business with needs including establishing credit and securing loans,
incorporating their business, negotiating leases and other need. The CDBG grant
award is for a separate and distinctive program as opposed to the programs which are
proposed to be funded through the Economic Development fund. \
631 of 657
6
Private Sources
TIC also funds operations using $29,000 in private contributions, $57,000 in tenant
income, $2,400 in reimbursements, and $3,000 in parking fees. The $57,000 in income
from TIC clients is paid through a fee for phone and internet usage, in addition to a 10%
program fee that covers the cost of TIC seminars and other programs. This averages
approximately $130 per month per client company. The parking fees are associated
with the portion of the Northwestern University Lot the TIC has control of and charges a
parking fee for users. Finally, private contributions come from current directors, local
banks, local alumni, and from service companies that benefit from their relationship with
the Incubator
Proposed Uses of Funds
The following table summarizes TIC’s Proposed 2012 annual operating budget (i.e
Uses of Funds). The city portion of funds the activities in lines 1 through 5. The city
investment represents just over half of the total operating budget. The fifth column of the
table represents the percentage funded of each activity. For example, the City funds
approximately three quarters of the TIC’s executive director’s salary.

III. TIC Business Model
Section III summarizes the TIC business model including a listing of the board of
directors, the newly appointed advisory board, the staff job descriptions, and a summary
of the real estate model.
A. Board of Directors
The TIC Board of Directors is comprised of four individuals:
Charles Happ, Chairman
Mary Happ, Board Member
Timothy Lavengood, Executive Director
Nancy Radzevich, Board Member
B. Advisory Board
Acknowledging the recommendation of city staff, city council and TIC advisors, and the
board of directors recognizes the need to diversify and expand its board of directors.
The TIC has reached out to four local business persons and longtime TIC sponsors to
assist with their respective specialties: marketing, mentoring, financing, accounting, real
estate, short term loans, and medical devices. Each advisory board member has
worked in some capacity at the TIC with specific companies on specific challenges. All

D. Real Estate - 820 Davis
TIC’s success can be attributable in part to below market monthly rental rates, flexible
30 day lease terms, companies' ability to grow and contract, furnished office, and
reliable telecommunications infrastructure – combined with a downtown Evanston
location near public transit, restaurants and shopping.
Chuck Happ owns 820 Davis through 820 Davis, LLC. Farnsworth Hill, Inc. manages
and leases the space. The TIC operates within 20,000 square feet of the 81,000 sq ft
property representing 25% of the total building square footage. Other building tenants
include a number of government, personal services, and business service companies
including U.S. Rep. Jan Schakowsky, Grumman Butkus, and Richard Day Research
paying an average rent of $22/ sq ft according to CoStar (the leading commercial real
estate provider of information and analytic services).
TIC client companies pay below market rent for downtown Evanston office space. The
20,000 square foot incubator pays approximately $19,000 per month in rents to 820
Davis, LLC which equates to approximately $11.40 / sq ft. According to CoStar, the
average rental rate for office space within 820 Davis is $25 sq ft while downtown space
is renting for an average of approximately $27 / sq ft. City of Evanston Economic
Development funds are allocated to programming and TIC services – none goes toward
subsidizing TIC client rent. A portion of the city funding, however, is allocated to TIC
administrative offices rent to 820 Davis.
Under the current agreement with TIC, Farnsworth Hill (the 820 Davis Street
professional building manager) is responsible for collecting and administering the leases
of the individual TIC companies and collects the rents. This model frees the Executive
Director of the time consuming administration and management of the real estate to
focus on programs and services. An alternative model employed by many incubators is
the master lease obligation which, in the case of the TIC, would require payment a
single monthly lease payment to 820 Davis, LLC, and require the TIC to manage each
of the 40+/- leases – an administrative challenge that would limit the ability of TIC staff
to coordinate the incubation activities of the TIC.
From a funding perspective, the private lending market does not support this model for
several reasons. Most real estate is leveraged with debt. The TIC has learned that
lenders, loan underwriters, or appraisers who will not honor 40 individual office leases
within a 20,000 sq ft space on month to month terms. It doesn’t provide the credit
worthiness and security that banks desire. There are virtually no conventional financial
637 of 657
12
products that support the uncertainty associated with this many small space users who
have little track record of business success. Furthermore, there are very few examples
of conventional property owners / managers who will tolerate past due rents which is
often the case with early stage start ups struggling to generate accounts receivables or
start up financing.
Despite the financial challenge that every incubator model faces, the TIC has to its
advantage a devoted board of directors who maintain a passion for private enterprise,
entrepreneurship, business startups and promotion of jobs growth. Specifically, Charles
Happ has had a 22-year history of social service, serving on numerous for-profit and
non-profit boards, several of which have required his financial support. Over a four year
period 2005-2008, for example, Mr. Happ invested approximately $400,000 of his own
cash into the TIC. In addition, Mr. Happ spends significant time helping develop the TIC
client companies, for example, having recently driven a client to Boston and back for a
conference.
E. Organizational Information
The TIC organization chart is provided on the following page. Attached is the proof of
non-profit status, and the income statement.
F. Plan for Financial Sources Diversification
The TIC is proposing an incremental strategy to reducing its reliance on City of
Evanston funding. The process will take up to three years but will have the benefit of
providing a much needed investment vehicle for Evanston startups.
State’s Invest Illinois Venture Fund Program
On May 2, 2012, Tim Lavengood was selected by the State of Illinois Department of
Commerce & Economic Opportunity to be a member of the “Due Diligence Team of the
State’s Invest Illinois Venture Fund Program.” The membership has the potential to
significantly and quickly give the TIC credibility as it relates to the due diligence process
(i.e. reviewing companies and projects investment quality based on technology,
marketing plan, management team qualifications, etc.). This type of service is fee
based and could in the mid term provide an additional funding source for the TIC.
Evanston Business Investment Company III
An investment fund, to be called Evanston Business Investment Company III (EBIC III)
will provide significant additional financial support to the TIC in exchange for TIC service
as providers of due diligence. This summary is intended to introduce to the Economic
Development Committee a broader proprietary plan (currently 9 pages in length). It will
take a few years for EBIC to become a significant contributor, but TIC will grow EBIC
638 of 657
13
according to this plan. The role Tim will play with the State’s venture fund program is the
same role TIC will perform, on a fee for service basis, for EBIC III.
EBIC III will retain as its main charitable goal the funding of TIC companies not
otherwise likely to get more conventional financing. That alone should confer a great
benefit on the TIC as well as the Evanston community. The prospect of obtaining
entrepreneurial financing should raise the profile of the TIC in the Chicago area, and
attract to the TIC (and Evanston) desirable new companies seeking to get such funding.
EBIC III is proposed to be developed into a significant business and economic
development tool providing funding resources for developing technology oriented
companies unlikely otherwise to obtain sufficient capital to prosper.
EBIC III will seek investment capital of at least $27,000,000, over time. However, it
would begin with a small fund seeking to make modest loans available to suitable
investment targets. EBIC III growth would depend on investment success, but hopes to
reach the $27,000,000 capital level within five to ten years. The various phases
identified can only be estimated.
EBIC III will focus on investment support for promising resident, graduate and affiliate
TIC companies, but will not exclude other suitable start-up companies. EBIC III seeks
to earn an above average return on investment (in entry stage companies) for its limited
partners while achieving its own community economic development and job creation
objectives.
Realistically, EBIC III will not have substantial initial funding sources by large local
institutions such as EBIC II enjoyed. However, the Evanston tech community has
successful companies (including TIC graduates). These could contribute enough
capital to get EBIC III founded and funded for a few early short term loans. Once
started, the existing program will provide a basis for seeking additional investments from
accredited investors with either a TIC relationship or an interest in supporting the
Evanston community. This will take time. However, without a small start, a large,
productive, result seems most unlikely. Some potential initial investors in EBIC III are
identified in Exhibit B.
EBIC III will retain as its main charitable goal the funding of TIC companies not
otherwise likely to get more conventional financing. That alone should confer a great
benefit on the TIC as well as the Evanston community. The prospect of obtaining
entrepreneurial financing should raise the profile of the TIC in the Chicago area, and
attract to the TIC (and Evanston) desirable new companies seeking to get such funding.
EBIC III could also provide some additional financial support to the TIC in exchange for
TIC efforts to identify appropriate investment targets.

This fund will move TIC in the direction of becoming a self-supporting private incubator
program, although this process will require an additional 2 to 3 years. Chuck Happ is
willing to present additional non-proprietary details to the Committee at its request.

IV. TIC Services
The TIC is able to attract early stage startups with below market rental rates, flexible
lease terms, ability to lease additional space or to shrink, furnished office, and reliable
telecommunications infrastructure. In addition to the services coordinated by the
executive director (described in detail on pages 6 through 8), the TIC provides a number
of other supportive services to its incubating clients including :
Legal Clinic
Attorney John Allen provides free legal services to TIC clients by appointment on
Thursday afternoons. The sessions are 45 minutes in length addressing business
formation, contract structuring, and common legal challenges with employees,
customers, and competitors. Mr. Allen has also guided TIC firms through acquisition.
The TIC reports that John Allen’s legal clinic led directly to the formation of the
entrepreneurial law course at Northwestern University School of Law.
Seminars
The TIC hosts a number of seminars open to the public on Thursday evenings. Two
recent examples are summarized below:
• How to Win SBIR Grants, March 22, 2012, Dr. Richard Weber, speaker
During this roundtable discussion, Richard Weber presented ideas about
developing SBIR projects, writing proposals, and improving the chances of
getting selected. Weber has received about 15 SBIR Phase I grants and 12
Phase II grants since 1990, totaling more than $8 million. He has received grants
from NASA, the Department of Energy, NSF, NIH and DOD.
• Choosing a Legal Business Entity: Corporation, S-Corp., or LLC? May 10, 2012
Kenneth Obel, Speaker
KEN OBEL, founder of GOODCOUNSEL, a law practice serving entrepreneurs,
discussed the basic options entrepreneurs have for setting up legal entities for
their businesses, and the factors that they should consider in selecting one.
Alumni Group
• The Incubator plans to hold a business plan competition, sponsored by
prominent Incubator alumni companies and/or other area companies. The
winning companies will enter the Incubator and be mentored by a sponsor
company. The TIC is in early discussions with CoLab Evanston to collaborate on
a business plan competition.
641 of 657
16
• The Incubator's major alumni event is the Anniversary Party, held every year.
This party attracts about 150 guests each year and serves as a reunion event for
our alumni.
Investment Fund
TIC is proposing to lead the development of a new early-stage financing mechanism
centered in Evanston called EBIC III. The process for creating the fund, given the
reduced involvement of area banks at the early start up stages, is anticipated to take
more than one year to accomplish. The EBIC III fund (summarized in the “plan for
financial diversification”) will also potentially serve as a mechanism to reduce the TIC’s
reliance on public funding.
The creation of the fund is critical to retaining high-potential graduates of the TIC who,
in the past, have left Evanston for areas where funding is more readily available. The
executive director will work with early stage firms to design and implement a due
diligence function for the fund, and will work with limited partners and advisors to lead
the development of the incorporation, investment criteria, deal structure, and deal flow.
Event Sponsorship
The TIC is sponsoring a mini-Makers Faire in August 2012 in downtown Evanston.
According to the maker faire website http://makerfaire.com/about.html, “ Maker Faire is
an all-ages gathering of tech enthusiasts, crafters, educators, tinkerers, hobbyists,
engineers, science clubs, authors, artists, students, and commercial exhibitors.”
The TIC is also a sponsor of the CMS Expo. The event attracts an international crowd
of technology directors and entrepreneurs. http://cmsexpo.net/
A. Promoting Evanston’s Technology Ecosystem
The TIC participates in a number of events that help promote Evanston’s technology
culture. These include business plan / student project panel evaluations, alumni war
stories, coordination of student assistants for TIC clients and ETHS career day.
Examples of these projects include:
• NU Venture Challenge judge April 25, 2011
• Judge, InNUvation Pitch Challenge (at Prairie Moon) April 2011
• Tim Lavengood was Keynote Speaker for Kellogg's Entrepreneurship Idol event,
May 2012
642 of 657
17
• TIC will be mentor participant in the Y.O.U. YES (Youth Entrepreneurship
Seminars) program
• TIC Seminar, "Choosing a Legal Business Entity: Corporation, S-Corp., or LLC?"
presented to an audience from the larger Evanston community on May 10, 2012
• Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity has invited Tim
Lavengood to join the due diligence team for the Invest Illinois Venture Fund.
• Tim Lavengood interviewed for 1M/1M series on Business Incubation
• Interviewed for article on cloud computing in Evanston Roundtable
• TIC was a sponsor of Governor Quinn's Startup Illinois event, held in Chicago on
May 20, 2011.
• Co-sponsor of North by Northwestern Night, part of the CMS Expo Learning and
Business Conference
• TIC was a source for recent Evanston Roundtable article on Kellogg real estate
study
• TIC contacted Evanston Roundtable with news about TIC company Psylotech's
graduation and relocation to Dr. Hill neighborhood in Evanston. Article about
Psylotech ran in May 10, 2012 issue of Roundtable.
• TIC a sponsor of 4th International Ceramics Conference panel discussion, to be
held in July 2012.
B. International Delegations
Several times per year, TIC hosts international delegations of public and private sector
representatives from foreign nations who are on study tours focusing on economic
development, technology development and entrepreneurship. These programs are
usually organized by World Chicago under the International Visitors Leadership
Program of the Department of State. Recent visits include delegates from the
Government of Uzbekistan and the African Women Entrepreneurship Program.
C. Student Projects (including Northwestern University)
TIC client firms utilized the services of a number of students in order to complete
important projects. Having access to local universities appeals to both the students
(opportunity for practical experience) and the companies (access to free or inexpensive
labor). The following are several recent examples of student/TIC collaborations:
643 of 657
18
• Engrana In summer 2011, a Northwestern University student from the
McCormick School of Engineering worked on a project for Engrana. The
project involved designing aerodynamic improvements to a school bus.
• Psylotech – 4 projects total in 2011. A University of Colorado – Boulder
engineering student intern worked on a design project for Psylotech in
summer 2011. Psylotech also worked with two teams of engineering students
from Northwestern University on projects in the spring and fall, and one team
from the University of Illinois in the fall.
• Enspirea A software engineer intern from the Illinois Institute of Technology
did work for Enspirea in 2011.
• Illumen Group A student intern from DePaul worked on Flash interactivity for
a web design project for Illumen Group during summer, 2011.
• Tula Foods – 2 projects total in 2011. A summer intern from the Kellogg
School of Management worked on building a financial model and sales sell-in
support for Tula Foods. A fall intern from Kellogg developed an investor
presentation for the company.
