1. Consider an Ordinance Amending the Village's Code of Ordinances Chapter
2, Article XXVII Regarding the Palatine Emergency Management Agency (PEMA) - Motion Carried by Voice Vote
Village Manager Reid Ottesen explained that part of the Village of Palatine’s best practices is to review input from our customers and to monitor the usefulness and effectiveness of our Codes. In reviewing Chapter 2 - Article XXVII, the Village is seeking to update the Village Code to reflect the changes made to the structure and function of the Emergency Management Agency. Three years ago, the Village of Palatine was a lead agency in the creation of the Joint Emergency Management System (JEMS) through Northwest Central Dispatch. The establishment of JEMS not only has significantly improved our disaster response capabilities, but led to annual cost savings to the Village. The proposed ordinance amendments reflect our new structure of operations. Staff recommends approval of the Ordinance amending and replacing Chapter 2 - Article XXVII relating to Palatine Emergency Management Agency (PEMA).

1.Consider the 2017 Tax Levy Ordinance - Motion Carried by Voice Vote
Village Manager Reid Ottesen explained the proposed net property tax levy is not more than 105% of the prior year’s final aggregate levy extension. No Public Hearing on the Proposed 2017 Tax Levy is required. The total proposed levy is $29,862,145 with proposed abatements at $7,318,512 and a net requested levy of $22,543,633. The 2017 Tax Levy Request was formulated using $7.3 million in abatements from various alternative revenue sources. Adoption of this ordinance provides funding for critical Public Safety, Mandated Employee Pension, and legally required Debt Service Expenditures as provided for in the CY 2018 Annual Operating Budget. Staff recommends the Mayor and Council approve the 2017 Property Tax Levy Ordinance. Councilman Lamerand expressed his discomfort in having to increase the levy, but it is only after doing everything to avoid increasing. Staff has extended itself to do more with less, and Lamerand expressed appreciation for all their work. The state of Illinois is the cause of some of the actions necessary tonight.

2. Consider an Ordinance to Abate 2017 Property Tax Levy - Motion Carried by Voice Vote
Village Manager Reid Ottesen explained the proposed 2017 Property Tax Levy includes abatements from various sources, including: $4,901,163 from TIF revenues; $1,038,813 from Flood Control Surcharge Revenues; $721,240 from Water Revenues; $476,986 from Federal “Build America Bond” Rebates; and $180,310 from Sewer Revenues. These abatements, totaling $7,318,512, are proposed to reduce the property tax burden on our stakeholders. These abatements reduce the gross adopted levy by 24.5%. Adoption of this ordinance provides for a reduced Property Tax burden on each and every home and business owner in Palatine. Staff recommends adoption of the 2017 Property Tax Levy Abatement Ordinance as proposed.

3. Consider the Tax Levy Ordinance for Village of Palatine Special Service Area Number Five - Motion Carried by Voice Vote
Village Manager explained the Village Council established Special Service Area #5 to accommodate public improvements for the Woods of Countryside. These improvements were the construction and installation of a fire suppression system consisting of a sprinkler system in existing residential buildings to protect the health and safety of workers, tenants, and visitors in the building; and a provision of street lighting in the public way by the construction and installation of street lights and related equipment. The proposed levy is per the established bond schedule. This property tax is separate from the rest of the Village and is only applicable to the residents within the boundaries of Special Service Area #5. This levy totals $586,400 and adoption of this ordinance provides funding for legally required Debt Service Expenditures for CY 2018. Staff recommends the Mayor and Council approve the 2017 Special Service Area #5 Property Tax Levy Ordinance as proposed.

4. Proposed Text Amendments to Code of Ordinances:
A.Village Manager Reid Ottesen presented the proposed text amendments to the Code of Ordinances. Motion was to approve Items A, B, C and D with one Voice Vote.
Consider an Ordinance Amending Chapter 7, Article V, Section 7-80 of the Village of Palatine's Code of Ordinances Regarding Ambulance Service Fees - Motion Carried by Voice Vote
The Village Council considered options for adjusting the Village's ambulance service fees and approved a new fee structure that would result in a new resident rate of $750 and a non-resident rate of $1,000 (with no balance billing of residents after insurance). The proposed ordinance will remove the specific fee structure from Chapter 7 of the Village's Code of Ordinances, while the Village's proposed 2018 Fee Schedule Supplement will include the corresponding fees. Staff recommends approval of the proposed text amendment.

Mover: Kollin Kozlowski, District 5 Councilman

B. Consider an Ordinance Amending Chapter 6, Section 6-89A of the Village's Code of Ordinances to Include Review Fees for Condominium De-Conversions - Motion Carried by Voice Vote
The Village Code has long regulated the conversion of rental properties to condominiums. In conjunction with a conversion proposal, the Village Code and Fee Schedule include corresponding fees for the associated Village review. The Village Code also includes regulations for when condominiums go through a de-conversion process, but the Village Code does not include any corresponding fees. The proposed amendment will create a fee structure for de-conversions that mirrors the fee structure for conversions. Staff recommends approval of the proposed text amendment.

Mover: Kollin Kozlowski, District 5 Councilman
Seconder: Doug Myslinski, District 3 Councilman

C. Consider an Ordinance Amending Chapter 12, Article III Fireworks of the Village's Code of Ordinances - Motion Carried by Voice Vote
The Village's Code of Ordinances, Chapter 12 - Article III, includes a penalty section for those that violate the Village’s applicable fireworks regulations. The existing penalty language refers to the Village's Fee Schedule Supplement for the applicable fine amount. This is inconsistent with how penalties/fines for violating other miscellaneous offenses are addressed. To create consistency within the Village’s Code of Ordinances, the fines associated with violating the Village’s regulations related to fireworks will be removed from the Fee Schedule, and the proposed amendment to the relevant section of the Code of Ordinances will provide for a fine structure consistent with other miscellaneous offenses. Staff recommends approval of the proposed text amendment.
Result: Motion Carried By Voice Vote [Unanimous]
Mover: Kollin Kozlowski, District 5 Councilman

D. Consider an Ordinance Amending Chapter 6, Section 6-1.5(a)(10) Regarding Inspection Fees - Motion Carried by Voice Vote
The proposed 2018 Fee Supplement includes a cancelled building inspection fee, thus requiring a corresponding minor text amendment to Chapter 6 of the Village Code. The building inspection cancellation fee will be consistent with the rental property inspection cancellation fee. Staff recommends approval of the proposed text amendment.
Result: Motion Carried By Voice Vote [Unanimous]
Mover: Kollin Kozlowski, District 5 Councilman

5. Consider a Motion to Approve the Updated Fee Schedule Supplement to the Village's Code of Ordinances - Approved by Voice Vote
Village Manager Reid Ottesen explained the Fee Supplement to the Code of Ordinances is updated annually by the Municipal Cost Index as published in the September issue of American City and County magazine. This index for 2018 calls for an increase of 3.4%; however, staff is proposing specific/focused fee increases in the following areas: Ambulance Service Fees, Motor Vehicle Crash, Water and Sewer Rates, and minor adjustments to Community Services Department related inspections. Ambulance Service Fees changed from a three tiered structure to a structure of $750 resident and $1,000 non-resident, resulting in a $95,000 decrease in the previously proposed property tax levy increase. The Fire Department has proposed an increase of the Motor Vehicle Crash billing rate by 8.3% (rather than the MCI increase of 3.4%). The increase water rates were increased by $0.20 and sewer rates were increased by $0.15. The proposed fees provide adequate and necessary funding for the provision of services as proposed in the 2018 budget. Staff recommends approval of the updated Fee Schedule Supplement as presented.

Village Manager Reid Ottesen summarized the wage adjustment for nonunion and non-management employees is 2.5%. Management/Professional and Executive Leadership positions do not receive a cost of living increase. Merit increases will be based solely upon performance and will vary accordingly. As a result of approved collective bargaining agreements; employees of Palatine Firefighters Local #4588 IAFF, Captains and Lieutenants will receive an increase of 3.6%, and Firefighters and Firefighter/Paramedics will receive a 2.3% increase; employees of the Fraternal Order of Police and the International Union of Operating Employees Local 150 (representing Public Works employees) will receive an increase of 2.5%. Staff recommends approval of the ordinance establishing rates of compensation for certain officers and employees of the Village, effective January 1, 2018.

10. Consider a Resolution Amending the Village of Palatine's Employee Handbook, Including the Adoption of a Policy Prohibiting Sexual Harassment - Adopted by Voice Vote
Village Manager Reid Ottesen explained the new state resolution. The Village of Palatine has an Employee Handbook which outlines the rules, regulations, benefits, and conditions of employment that apply to Village employees. From time to time, the Village amends the Employee Handbook to comply with state, federal, and local regulations, as well as changing practices. The last update to the handbook was completed with the adoption of the Village's 2016 budget. Several modifications are recommended to reflect changes in and adherence to statutory requirements. The proposed modifications include an emphasis on “at-will” employment; removal of the term “regular” when referring to types of employment; and updating Equal Employment Opportunity and Americans with Disabilities policies.

To fully implement the program, contracts must be signed with Blue Cross Blue Shield and Allied Benefit Systems. Each of the following pieces of the program require an application and signature; Benefit Program Application (BPA) administrative fee charged by Blue Cross Blue Shield was negotiated to decrease by 3.0%; Pharmacy Benefit Manager (PBM) through Blue Cross Blue Shield and Walgreens prescription rebate credit increases by 27% for the new year; Stop Loss Coverage Policy (individual stop loss policy) is increased by 12.5% over the prior year with total individual stop loss cost for the year expected at $554,580; aggregate stop loss coverage is a 3.75% increase in costs for 2018 and a small portion of plan costs ($13,160); Allied Benefit Systems is responsible for administration of the flexible spending program, which is in compliance with Section 125 of the tax code, and fees remain flat. This motion will authorize the Village Manager to execute necessary contracts to implement the employee benefit program. Staff recommends approving the motion.

12.Consider a Resolution Amending Resolutions R-65-89, R-106-90, R-142-03 and R-4-05 Establishing a Self-Insurance Health Insurance Benefit Pool for Village of Palatine Employees to Establish a Group Retiree Insurance Plan for Post-65 Retirees (Benistar) - Adopted by Voice Vote
Village Manager Reid Ottesen explained the Village first established a funding pool for health insurance in 1989. This sets forth the basic operating principals for the health insurance program. An actuarial study of post-65 participants was completed in 2016. It demonstrated that the cost of insurance for post-65 Medicare Eligible participants was higher than the actuarial rates. Accounting standards require the Village to set aside reserves for keeping post-65 retirees on the plan if their costs are greater than the charged rate. The Village worked with a consultant, The Horton Group, to identify a group retiree insurance plan that would keep benefits, rates, and customer service consistent with the Village’s Health Insurance plan for post- 65, retired, Medicare-eligible participants. Starting in January 2017, retired Medicare-eligible employees were transitioned to the Benistar Plan. Retired individuals under the age of 65, even those who are Medicare-eligible, can remain on the Village of Palatine plan until they are 65. At age 65, retired participants will transition out of the Village of Palatine Plan to the group retiree insurance plan, or Benistar Plan. Participants can choose their own Medicare supplement instead of Benistar. Post-65 retiree eligibility will no longer remain part of the Village’s plan. This amendment formalizes the change to Benistar as it applies to all post-65 retirees, spouses, and dependents. Staff recommends an amendment to the resolution to add the Benistar Plan for all post-65 Medicare-eligible participants.

13.Consider a Motion to Authorize Village Manager to Execute Documents for the Self-Insured Risk Management Program for 2018 - Approved by Voice Vote
Village Manager Reid Ottesen explained the Village has been self-insured for liability coverage since January 1, 2008. The components of the program include a broker; third party administrator; a consultant; and the lines of insurance coverage. To implement the lines of coverage each year, binder Agreements must be signed in order for coverage to take effect on December 31, 2017. The lines of coverage include property, casualty, excess worker’s compensation, crime, cyber liability, fiduciary liability for police and firefighter pensions, and a volunteer policy. The total premium for basic lines of coverage in 2018 is $473,471, which represents a decrease over 2017. Final negotiated policies were lower than anticipated through the early budget process. Expenses can be met through the approved 2018 budget. This resolution asks Village Council to give authority to the Village Manager to execute necessary agreements to implement the policies for 2018. Staff recommends granting authority.
