PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE:
PRESIDENT’S REPORT:
P-19-001 Commission Appointment
President Roth requested concurrence with the appointment of Ron Weglarz as a member, and his alternate John Wiley, from Streamwood Behavioral Health Center, to the Community and Economic Development Commission for the remainder of a 2 year term expiring June 2021. Trustee Baumer moved for approval. Trustee Schmidt seconded the motion. A voice vote approved the appointment.
VILLAGE MANAGER’S REPORT:
Village Manager Sharon Caddigan reported the Cultures of our Community event at Poplar Creek Library on Saturday, November 2, 2019 was very well attended and the Library added cross-programming including henna tattoos in the Children’s area.
Ms. Caddigan noted the pension consolidation movement in the state legislature and will continue to monitor. This would consolidate the police and fire pension investments into consolidated funds (similar to IMRF) which would improve the investment returns, lessening the burden for the taxpayers. The individual pension boards would still exist for policy purposes.
The Planning and Zoning Board will be meeting on November 19, 2019 at 7 p.m. to discuss zoning text amendments regarding video gaming, cannabis sales and tobacco sales. The online survey on the Village website is trending heavily in favor of allowing recreational cannabis sales.
Ms. Caddigan stated that prior to the November 21st Board meeting, two public hearings will be held regarding the proposed 2020 Budget and the proposed 2019 property tax levy.

A-19-121 Ordinance – Approval of Special Use for Sale of Packaged Alcoholic Beverages/ 1004 E. Irving Park Road / 4-T Liquors
Request the Board approve an Ordinance entitled “AN ORDINANCE GRANTING A SPECIAL USE PERMIT TO ALLOW FOR THE SALE OF PACKAGED ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES FOR OFF-PREMISE CONSUMPTION IN A C-2 COMMERCIAL DISTRICT 1004 E. IRVING PARK ROAD.” This Ordinance approves a Special Use Permit to allow the sale of packaged alcoholic beverages in a retail store in a C-2 Commercial Shopping District at 1004 E. Irving Park Road.
Trustee Carlson presented the Ordinance for first reading. Community Development Director John Peterson stated a new owner is taking over 4-T Liquors and will be making some improvements on site. The Planning and Zoning Board heard the petition for special use and noted the parking is sufficient with 13 spaces, but there is a non-conforming pole sign and exposed dumpster. The PZB recommended in favor of the special use with four conditions: 1. The existing pole sign in the southeast corner shall be removed within 30 days of Village Board approval and replaced with a monument style sign in substantial compliance with the rendering submitted; 2. The interior use of the property shall be in substantial compliance with the submitted interior floor plan copy; 3. The subject property shall be used in substantial compliance with the submitted site plan; and 4. A Village Code-compliant trash enclosure shall be constructed on the subject property within 30 days of Village Board approval of the special use in substantial compliance with the submitted plan. Staff concurs with the recommendation.
Petitioner Ami Patel, Meera Enterprises Inc. was present for questions. He stated they have started the permits for the sign and trash enclosure. Trustee Cecille asked if they have a recycling container as well; Mr. Patel stated they do. Trustee Cecille confirmed that the new sign will have lighting as well.
Trustee Carlson moved to waive the first reading for the Ordinance. Trustee Schmidt seconded the motion. A voice vote approved waiving the first reading. Trustee Carlson moved for approval of the Ordinance as presented. Trustee Cecille seconded the motion. ROLL CALL:

PUBLIC SAFETY - Trustee Harper/Trustee Carlson
A-19-125 Resolution–MutualAidBillingAgreement
Request the Board approve a Resolution entitled “A RESOLUTION APPROVING AND AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTION OF AN EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES MUTUAL AID AGREEMENT INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT FOR ENHANCED RATES FOR AMBULANCE SERVICES.” This Resolution would ensure that Streamwood residents would be billed under Streamwood policy whether they are transported by Schaumburg, Bartlett or other participating fire departments resulting in potential cost savings for our residents.
Trustee Harper presented the Resolution and moved for approval. Trustee Carlson seconded the motion. Fire Chief Chris Clark stated this agreement would have Streamwood residents billed at a “resident rate” even if they are transported by a mutual aid entity participating in this agreement. In most cases, if a Streamwood ambulance is not available at the time needed, and a mutual aid entity responds and transports a Streamwood resident to the hospital, the resident is billed at a non- resident (and much higher) fee and will be sent to collection if unpaid. All participating entities are agreeing to this billing policy.
Trustee Harper asked if the entire MABAS (Mutual Aid Box Alarm System) community would participate. Chief Clark stated it has been a long, hard fight to get this agreement in place, and full MABAS participation is highly unlikely. This agreement does allow for other MABAS agencies to sign on in the future. Trustee Cecille asked if there is any liability for the Village if responding outside of the
municipality. Chief Clark stated there is not as the overall mutual aid agreement addresses that. ROLL CALL:
