4. 23W670 Pine Avenue – Land Division Other Than A Subdivision – 2 Lot Split.
The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended to the Village Board approval of the lot split with a 5-0 vote at their meeting on March 6, 2018. John Geschrey has petitioned the Village to divide the property located at 23W670 Pine Avenue into two (2) R-1 Single Family Residence lots.
Each lot meets the minimum R-1 lot requirements for lot area and lot width. A drainage easement is located on the rear 50-feet of each lot in order to protect a low area on the property and would not allow any structures to be built in that easement. Mr. Geschrey intends to build two (2) single-family homes that can be sold.
The annexation public hearing of the property will take place at the Village Board meeting on March 26, 2018.
Trustee Domke questioned whether any drainage issues would impact the neighbor to the North. No.
Staff was directed to proceed as proposed.
5. Village Hall Improvements
Beginning last year, the Village initiated improvements at Village Hall that included wall paper removal, painting, and new furniture and department signage in the first floor and second floor lobby/public areas. The painting and wall paper removal work were completed by Freshcoat, which also completed similar work at the Fire Station following a formal bid process in 2017. The 2018 budget includes $55,000 for additional Village Hall improvements that includes $25,000 for painting/wall paper removal in the first floor employee bathrooms, common areas, and kitchen as well as $30,000 for carpet replacement on both floors of Village Hall.
Because the painting/wall paper removal will be under budget, staff is also purchasing additional furniture for the 1st floor lobby from BOS/AOI. Last year a few pieces of furniture, two chairs and two side tables, were purchased with the expectation that additional furniture would need to be purchased after the television kiosk was installed, the display case and bench seating were removed, and the signage and pictures were installed. Recently staff met with a BOS/AOI representative and determined the lobby could benefit from additional furniture including two chairs, one side table, and one taller table. Attached is the proposal for the furniture at a cost of $2,663.32 and the final furniture layout in the lobby.
Staff directed to proceed as proposed.
6. IMRF Resolution
On December 15, 2017, the IMRF Board of Trustees adopted Resolution 2017-12- 17 giving employers the option to include insurance opt-out program payments as reportable earnings to IMRF. Pursuant to previous IMRF direction, the Village has included the insurance opt-out program as reportable earnings for those employees who have participated in the opt-out program and retire from the Village. To continue the same practice and comply with the IMRF directive, the Village Board must adopt a resolution allowing cash payments in lieu of or related to healthcare benefits to be reported as IMRF earnings.
Staff directed to proceed with required resolution.
