LEGISLATIVE – Trustee Cecille/Trustee Thon
A-20-074 Resolution – Designated Redevelopment Area – Barrington Road
Request the Board approve a Resolution entitled “A RESOLUTION OF THE VILLAGE OF STREAMWOOD DESIGNATING THE AREA COMMONLY KNOWN AS 900 – 960 S. BARRINGTON ROAD AS DISTRESSED AND FOR POTENTIAL REDEVELOPMENT OF VACANT AND UNDERUTILIZED COMMERCIAL LAND.” This Resolution recognizes the need to consider redevelopment obstacles to larger vacant commercial parcels in compliance with the Village’s Comprehensive Plan.
Trustee Cecille presented the Resolution and moved for approval. Trustee Carlson seconded the motion. Community Development Director John Peterson reviewed Streamwood’s healthy balance of property uses and the need to promote the redevelopment of underutilized commercial properties. The Westview Shopping Center has a rather high vacancy rate as Sam’s Club (130,000 sq. feet) closed in January 2018 as part of a nationwide reduction in property holdings, and the adjacent Value City Furniture (90,000 sq. feet) closed in August 2019. Filling large vacancies is always a challenge, and due to the coronavirus pandemic, the Hibachi Grill Buffet restaurant located in the same area has also closed. Designating this area for redevelopment will allow the Village to work with property owners on incentive options, and specifically with Cook County. The Village has always supported these tax incentives as it is one of the limited incentives available.
Trustee Cecille asked if the closed restaurant is included in this redevelopment designation. Mr. Peterson stated it is not as it does not meet the criteria for the square footage. ROLL CALL:

A-20-075 Resolution – 900 S. Barrington, LLC – 7B Property Tax Incentive Application
Request the Board approve a Resolution entitled “A RESOLUTION OF THE VILLAGE OF STREAMWOOD DETERMINING THE APPROPRIATENESS FOR APPROVAL OF A CLASS 7B REAL ESTATE TAX INCENTIVE CLASSIFICATION FOR COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT OF PROPERTY OWNED BY 900 S. BARRINGTON, LLC LOCATED AT 900 S. BARRINGTON ROAD IN THE VILLAGE OF STREAMWOOD, COOK COUNTY, ILLINOIS.” This Resolution supports a proposed new business’ request to apply for a Class 7B property tax classification with the Cook County Assessor’s Office.
Trustee Schmidt presented the Resolution and moved for approval. Trustee Baumer seconded the motion. Community Development Director John Peterson introduced the purchasers of the Sam’s Club property, Gregory Yurovsky and Yuri Bulgakov, from Hyper Microsystems, and their attorney Zach Kafitz. Hyper Microsystems refurbishes consumer goods such as appliances, electronics and power tools. They currently have a small retail space in Gurnee Mills, and a Schaumburg space that is on a month-to-month lease. They plan to move the operations to a larger and more long term location. With the Village’s support for the 7B incentive, and after Cook County approval, they plan to start the interior construction work in October and be complete in early 2021. Approximately 15 construction jobs, and at least 4 additional full time jobs will be created with this project, with anticipated growth for approximately 45 jobs when fully operational.
Trustee Schmidt asked if the refurbishing will be done at the Streamwood location. Mr. Bulgakov stated the refurbishing is done at their Wood Dale site; Streamwood may have a small repair area but will be mostly for retail. Trustee Cecille asked if delivery for purchases is offered. Mr. Bulgakov stated it can be contracted if needed. Trustee Cecille also asked about warranties on the refurbished products. Mr. Bulgakov stated all purchases have a 90 day warranty, and extended warranties may be purchased. The products are obtained from “big box retailers” and are current items that have been returned for various reasons. ROLL CALL:

Request the Board approve a Resolution entitled “A RESOLUTION APPROVING AND AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTION OF AN INTERGOVERNMENTAL AND SUBRECIPIENT AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE VILLAGE OF STREAMWOOD AND THE COUNTY OF COOK FOR CORONAVIRUS RELIEF FUNDS.” This Resolution approves an Intergovernmental Agreement with Cook County for Coronavirus Relief Funds to cover expenditures incurred due to COVID- 19.
Trustee Thon presented the Resolution and moved for approval. Trustee Schmidt seconded the motion. Finance Director Josh Peacock stated this Agreement will allow the Village to claim their share of the federal funds Cook County has apportioned to the municipalities to reimburse expenses incurred between March 1 and December 30, 2020 related to COVID-19. Based on Cook County’s formula, Streamwood is eligible for $461,512.78.
Trustee Harper asked about any funding available for after December 30.

A-20-080 Motion–SewerCameraPurchase
Request the Board approve a Motion to approve the purchase of sewer video inspection equipment at a cost not to exceed $88,796.00.
This Motion approves the purchase of a Pathfinder Series Mainline Pipeline Inspection System for use by the Public Works Department from Aries Industry Inc., Waukesha, Wisconsin. Funds for this purchase are included in the Equipment Replacement Fund.
Trustee Baumer presented the Motion and moved for approval. Trustee Cecille seconded the motion. Public Works Director Matt Mann stated this is a replacement for the existing sewer camera system; the control system and software was purchased new in 2005 and the camera and transporter were purchased new in 2013. Several demos were reviewed by various companies. Based on the Village’s needs and available funds, the Aries system is recommended and available for purchase from the region’s sole-source vendor directly from the factory. The Aries system includes the controller, software, camera, transporter, cable and reel assembly, computer system, battery backup system, manhole guide system, delivery, operator training and installation guidance for the employees. This system is for televising sewers larger than 6 inches, and comes with a standard one year warranty. The system will be installed on the existing truck which is in good condition.
Trustee Harper asked if an extended warranty is available. Mr. Mann stated it is not due to the harsh conditions this equipment is subjected to during use. Trustee Harper confirmed the system has recording capability and asked about smaller, under 6 inch pipes. Mr. Mann stated the Village has a hand-held camera system for the smaller pipes. Trustee Cecille asked about a “loaner” if repairs are needed. Mr. Mann stated that would be determined on an as-needed basis, depending on the time and length of the repairs, as well as costs. Minor repairs are often handled on site by a company rep or our mechanics. ROLL CALL:
