Village Administrator Palm provided a timeline and update on the status of Fresh Thyme’s
construction project. He discussed the structural engineering issues and noted the walls have been
shored-up and there is no long-term public safety risk in the vicinity at this time. He stated the
Village has requested a structural engineering study and a plan with a timeline from Fresh Thyme and
MidAmerica but has not received these documents from either party. He said the Village is going to
file a complaint in Circuit Court to get them to address this problem. He noted staff has attempted to
work with Fresh Thyme and MidAmerica but has a duty to the residents to issues with the building
addressed.
In response to a question from Trustee Dwyer, Village Administrator Palm stated that he has not yet
told Fresh Thyme or MidAmerica about the pending legal action but will call them this week as a
courtesy.
4
April 25, 2016
In response to a question from Trustee Conti, Assistant Village Administrator Scheiner stated the last
update the Village received regarding the construction progress is that they are over 100 days behind
schedule on construction due to additional unexpected issues and there is no functioning electrical or
plumbing in the building. Village Administrator Palm added that the Village has not received the
structural engineering report which would provide the information needed to make a determination
whether the building should be torn down or the project should go forward.
In response to a question from Trustee Corsini, Village Administrator Palm stated the Cook County
tax incentive would begin once the construction is completed and the building is reassessed.
In response to a question from Trustee Gibbs, Village Administrator Palm stated the Village expects
the complaint to induce the parties to provide the Village with a structural engineering report and a
plan to fix the building, if feasible, or demolish it.
In response to a question from Trustee Cargie, Village Administrator Palm stated Fresh Thyme is in charge of
the construction at this time.
In response to a question from Trustee Gibbs, Village Administrator Palm stated the Village will learn who is
responsible for the building’s condition after reviewing the structural engineering report.
In response to a question from Trustee Cargie, Village Attorney Smith stated the Board can discuss the cause
of action in closed session.
In response to a question from Trustee Corsini, Assistant Village Administrator Scheiner stated the
replacement of the fence for the homeowner on Jackson is on hold, staff has reached out to the homeowner,
and all work is at a standstill.
President Adduci commended Village Administrator Palm for taking action.
8. NEW BUSINESS
a. Letter of Support – HJRCA 38 – Support of Statewide Voter Referendum of Expansion of
Home Rule Eligibility
Trustee Conti made a motion, seconded by Trustee Gibbs, to approve a letter of support for House
Bill HJRCA 38 in support of a statewide voter referendum for the expansion of home rule eligibility.
President Adduci stated the measure came out of the Illinois Municipal League agenda and it would
be a state-wide referendum that would appear on the November, 2016 ballot for voter input. She
said, if this passes, it would allow municipalities with populations of 5,000 or more to become home
rule. She noted municipalities could opt out such as Rockford and other communities have done.
Trustee Corsini requested a point of clarification. Village Attorney Smith stated if the Bill passes it is
a constitutional change and the community would have to go to referendum if it did not want home
rule.
In response to a question from Trustee Conti, President Adduci stated that this would impact 16% of
Illinois municipalities.
5
April 25, 2016
Trustee Cargie stated his only concern in approving this is that the residents River Forest came out
strongly against home rule. Trustee Corsini noted this is a referendum asking voters for their input.
Trustee Gibbs said things have changed since that vote and residents may feel differently now given
the recent performance of the State of Illinois. Trustee Conti stated if this passes the residents could
vote to take it away. She said this is about what is best for the State not just the Village. Trustee
Dwyer stated he believes there is a benefit to the Village with home rule.
President Adduci stated it takes 3/5 of General Assembly to pass this. She noted it may never come
to a vote because only three statewide referenda can be put on the ballot at a time and there are other
measures that may be on the ballot.

MEMORANDUM
DATE:
May 9, 2016
TO:
Eric J. Palm, Village Administrator
FROM:
John Anderson, Director of Public Works
SUBJECT:
Award of Contract - 2016 Street Maintenance Program (Pavement Preservation)
Issue: Staff is seeking the award of a contract for the pavement preservation portion of the 2016
Street Maintenance Program.
Analysis: In previous years the Street Maintenance Program has included the application of cracksealing products and microsurfacing of various streets throughout the Village. The crack-sealing
portion of this work is typically part of a joint-bid with the Village of Oak Park and has not yet been
advertised for bid.
The microsurfacing portion of this program has been under review in recent years and was modified
in FY16 to include pavement preservation instead of microsurfacing. This change was intended to
better preserve the existing pavements throughout the Village instead of reacting to a pavement that
has already begun to fail.
The pavement preservation technique involves the application of a more liquid-like substance to
designated streets. The material actually soaks into the pavement and replenishes the flexibility that
is lost during exposure to the elements. The combination of ultraviolet light, salt application during
winter, water entering small cracks and the weight of vehicles repeatedly driving over a pavement
work to break down the “glue” that holds the asphalt pavement together which makes it more brittle
and subject to failure. The products specified by Village Staff for the pavement preservation project
soak into the pavement and add back this lost flexibility which keeps the pavement in a more
manageable condition for a longer period of time.
The approved FY17 budget includes $50,000 for this project in the General Fund. The project was
part of a joint bid between the Village of River Forest and the Village of Elmwood Park. On April
28th, three bids were received and opened. As the attached bid tabulation indicates, the low bidder for
this work is Denler, Inc. at a total project cost to the Village of $31,500.00.
Village Staff has not previously worked with Denler, Inc., however, multiple references were
checked and all feedback received was positive.
Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of this contract with the following motion: Motion
to award the contract to Denler, Inc. in the amount of $31,500.00 for the 2016 Street Maintenance
Program (Pavement Preservation) and authorize the Village Administrator to execute the contract
agreement.

April 2016 Monthly Report
Crime Statistics
The month of April experienced a dramatic increase in retail thefts (included in Part I offenses),
mainly at the CVS on North Ave. As a result, our detectives worked with CVS loss prevention
and were able to identify and arrest two separate (not working in conjunction) offenders
responsible for the majority of the thefts. Since the apprehensions, the thefts have not continued
to occur. Although Part I offenses are up during the first four months of 2016 compared to the
same time last year, the increase is seen in property related offenses such as thefts and burglary
to motor vehicle (BMV). As a result of the increase in burglary to motor vehicles, a crime alert
was distributed encouraging residents to lock their vehicles, (all of the BMV’s were the result of
unlocked vehicles). It should be noted that Part I violent crime (murder, sexual assault, robbery,
battery etc.) has decreased by 73% year to date, compared to the same timeframe last year.

Budget and Fiscal Monitoring
April 1 –April 30, 2016
With the end of Fiscal Year 2016, parking citation revenue is above the estimated projection for
FY16 by $12,848 and Administrative Tow revenue exceeded the YTD projection by $4,000. Due
to several factors the overtime budget exceeded projections for FY16; however some of the
increase will be off-set by the reduction in sworn salaries.

Significant Arrests:
16-00510 - Retail Theft Arrest
On April 6, 2016, a patrol officer was in the area of Tilly’s, 7235 Lake Street in the Town Center,
and was flagged down by the store manager. The manager told the officer that two males had
just ran out of the store after stealing a skateboard that belonged to Tilly’s. The offenders were
last seen getting into a car and exiting the lot. A description of the car and offenders was
broadcasted over the radio. The offenders were later found driving west on Madison at Park by
another officer. Officers stopped the suspect car and located the stolen skateboard. The store
employee identified the occupants of the car as the offenders and identified the skateboard as
property of Tilly’s. A third subject driving the vehicle was detained and later released without
charge. The offenders, an 18 year old male from Chicago, and, a 20 year old male from Lyons,
were taken into custody and charged with misdemeanor Retail Theft. Both offenders were
processed, released on bond, and given court dates.
16-00536, 16-00537, 16-00542- Retail Theft
On April 11, 2016 while on a foot patrol at CVS in response to the shift initiative, a River Forest
officer met with store loss prevention who advised the officer of three retail thefts that were not
reported. Each time the loss was alcohol. The officer completed three reports, obtained video
surveillance, receipts, and the offender information was given to the Detective Bureau. The
offender was later identified and arrested by the Detective Bureau. The subject had been living
in his vehicle in the area of Harlem/Fullerton.
16-00578- Retail Theft Arrest
On April 16, 2016, River Forest units responded to the Whole Foods Market at 7245 Lake St.
regarding a Retail Theft that had just occurred. Store personnel observed the offender conceal
food and then leave the store without paying for it. Responding officers located the offender
outside the store sitting in a vehicle. Officers subsequently arrested the 63 year old female
offender from Oak Park and charged her with misdemeanor Retail Theft. The offender posted
bond after being processed and was given a court date.
16-00618- Felony Retail Theft
On April 22, 2016, River Forest units were dispatched to the CVS, 7929 North Ave. in reference
to a retail theft. River Forest units were able to retrieve a description of the offender and a
license plate for the vehicle used to flee the scene. On 23Apr16, River Forest units located the
offending vehicle parked on the 7100 blk of Grand Ave. The occupant, a 52 year old male from
Schiller Park was arrested and transported to the station. The subject was interviewed and gave
a statement admitting he committed the retail theft. States attorney’s office was contacted and
approved a felony charge of retail theft. The subject was transported to Maybrook court for
bond hearing. It appeared the subject had committed four retail thefts in the last month at this
location.

16-00622- Domestic Battery
On April 23, 2016, a River Forest Officer responded to Oak Park Hospital in reference to a
Domestic Battery victim. Pursuant to an interview with the victim, an examination by a
physician, and visual signs of injury, it was determined that a battery had taken place. Officers
located the offender, a 38 year old male and he was taken into custody at his residence in River
Forest. The offender provided a statement in which he admitted to making physical contact
with the victim. The Cook County State’s Attorney Felony Review Unit came to the River
Forest Police Department to speak with the victim and the offender. After speaking to both
parties the Assistant State’s Attorney did not believe the offense met the statute of Aggravated
Domestic Battery, and therefore the offender was charged with Domestic Battery. The offender
was transported to Maybrook for bond hearing.
16-00650- Possession of a Controlled Substance
On April 29, 2016, River Forest units were dispatched to 7245 Lake St., Whole Foods, in
reference to a subject using drugs in the bathroom. Officers arrived on scene and located a 24
year old male from Rockford inside the restroom. The subject was in the process of injecting
heroin into his body. The subject and his girlfriend, a 26 year old from Alsip, both had
numerous baggies of heroin on their persons. Both were arrested and transported to the station.
The subjects were charged with felony possession of a controlled substance and were
transported to Maybrook court house for bond hearing.

Monthly Report – April – 2016
The Fire Department responded to 154 calls during the month of April. This is below our average
of calls in comparison to 2015. We experienced 6 fire related calls in River Forest this month. We
provided mutual aid for 3 out-of-town building fire calls. Emergency Medical Service calls
represent 64 % of our response activity for the month of April.

The month of April had the Fire Department diligently working with neighboring communities in
Rescue Task Force training in the event of an active shooter incident. We researched several training
scenarios, along with appropriate personal protective equipment allowing our firefighter/paramedics to
enter a ‘warm’ zone with law enforcement officers.
Page |2
Training is through the Illinois Tactical Officers Association and brings a class of half (15) Law
Enforcement and half (18) Fire Service Officers together to enhance our knowledge of each other’s
actions, operations and verbiage during this critical event.
The Fire Department participated in the active shooter exercise held at Dominican University. In this
training experience students and staff were notified of an incident on campus, both at Parmer and
Lewis Halls, of an intruder and to ‘Lock Down”. The Run, Hide, Fight training is explained prior to
this exercise and student, faculty and first responders discussed actionable scenarios.
River Forest hosted a Hazardous Materials IQ class attended by 30 neighboring fire service Haz-Mat
Technicians. The course is taught by Emery & Associates and teaches responders how size-up any
chemical in 10-seconds, verify the hazards in 2-minutes, select the proper meters and PPE and operate
safely in the hot zone. This class uses the predictability of chemistry and prepares firefighters by
educating them on the threats as well as the equipment required to safely respond.
Two personnel from the Fire Department attended the Fire Department Instructors Conference
(FDIC) in Indianapolis. Several courses and equipment demonstrations were the focus of these
individuals. Rescue saws, personal protective equipment (PPE) and extrication equipment
(hydraulic tools) are at the center of attention for our needs.
Deputy Chief Bohlmann and Chief Eggert attended the ‘Safety Equipment Showcase’ held at NIPSTA
in Glenview. Most of the equipment presented was centered on rescue and active shooter safety.
Fire Department negotiations are moving forward with good dialog. I believe one or two
items remain outstanding and could be resolved shortly.
The River Forest Fire Department was represented at the 100 Club Award of Valor. The
Annual Valor Awards celebrates the contributions of police officers and firefighters. This year,
the 100 Club of Chicago and Cook County acknowledged the heroism of 12 individuals.
Page |3
The 100 Club of Chicago provides for the families of first responders who have lost their lives in
the line of duty. This membership based organization offers several forms of financial assistance,
access to resources and moral support. All sworn federal, state, county and local first responders
stationed in Cook and Lake Counties are included.
The Fire Department is evaluating personal protective equipment (PPE) to provide the most
current safety equipment for our firefighter/paramedics. Several manufacturers are invited to
participate and give documentation on their specific line of clothing (bunker coat and pants).

Incidents of Interest
Incidents within River Forest were minor in nature with four cooking related fires.
Suppression Activities
For the month of April, we responded to 154 emergency calls, which is below our normal
amount of calls. Of this total, 7 were fire related incidents, of which 4 occurred in River Forest.
Three of the four fire incidents in River Forest were cooking related fires. They did not cause
any fire damage.
The other in-town incident involved a fire in a vehicle. The fire was out on our arrival and only
caused minor damage.
The Fire Department responded to 3 Auto/Mutual Aid fire calls during the month of April.
The first incident was a house fire in Elmwood Park. River Forest crews were assigned to
horizontal ventilation on the outside and, after completing that task, they were assigned to
perform a primary search and extinguishment on the second floor.
Page |4
The second out-of-town incident was a box alarm in Cicero. Deputy Chief Bohlmann responded
and was assigned to the Staging Sector.
The third out-of-town fire was a kitchen fire in an apartment building in Elmwood Park. River
Forest crews performed a search and ventilated the fire floor. Deputy Chief Bohlmann assisted
Elmwood Park with the investigation.
Training
During the month, members of our department attended various training seminars and classes.
Attending these classes and seminars not only increases the knowledge of the attendee, but also
allows for the communication of important concepts and ideas to department members not in
attendance. The following is a brief breakdown of training events for the month of April.
 All shifts participated in a CTA familiarization drill in Forest Park
 All shifts working with future drivers and engineers due to personnel
changeover

Paramedic Activity
We responded to 98 ambulance calls making contact with 109 patients for the month of April,
which is below our normal monthly average number of EMS calls. Of this total, 53 patients were
classified as ALS, 53 were BLS, and 3 were invalid assists. 19 of the 53 BLS refused treatment
and transport
A detailed monthly EMS report is available for review.

Executive Summary
In the month of April the department of Public Works transitioned to spring operations. Street
sweeping continued throughout the Village in an effort to clean streets from debris that has
accumulated during the winter. Public Works Forestry division personnel along with a contractor
planted 186 trees in the parkways throughout the Village. Village arborists also participated in tree
plantings at local schools. For Earth Day, tree plantings were organized by Superintendent Mark
Janopoulos with participation from students who voted to select the species of tree to be planted.
For Arbor Day, arborists planted a black tupelo tree within the playground area adjacent to Lincoln
School. Arborist Dan Raddatz explained the benefits of trees to our community and answered
many questions from the students. A public informational meeting was held for the residents that
will be affected by the upcoming watermain lining on Thatcher Avenue between Chicago and
Augusta. This meeting answered questions from residents and was attended by the contractor
(Fer-Pal) and the construction engineer (Baxter & Woodman) as well as Village Staff. Meetings
were held with AT&T for information on their fiber optic network, as well as with Siemens for their
water meter reading infrastructure solutions. Technical review committee meetings were
attended by Public Works staff for potential developments at 1011 Bonnie Brae and Concordia
University.

In the month of April Water division personnel continued the replacement of batteries within
MXUs (water meter reading devices) based on the errors in the meter reading reports performed
each month. A punch list was created in order to track B-box repairs that need to be completed by
Bolder contractors after reviewing the work done on the Northside Stormwater Management
Project. Items that needed to be corrected were height issues, alignment issues, and operational
issues. Water division personnel continued with the installation of new water meters at locations
where meters are over 20 years old and in need of replacement. Since this fiscal year’s project has
begun there have been 158 water meters replaced with a goal of 162 to be replaced by June 1st of
this year.
The Water Division personnel performed these additional tasks in April:
 Installed 5 meters
 Responded to 375 service calls
Streets and Forestry
Staff in the Streets and Forestry division focused heavily on tree planting. Street sweeping,
inlet/catch basin cleaning, sign repairs/fabrications were also performed frequently in the month

Subj: Building & Zoning Report - April
As is typical this time of year, overall permit activity has increased, however, the type of
permits requested drive overall revenue collection. A majority of permits issued in April are
subject to lower permit fees. Permit revenues collected in April totaled $19,458, compared to
$26,620 in March. Total permit revenues collected this Fiscal year, $443,279, exceed the
budget projection of $415,000.
Noteworthy Items
The developer has received the necessary approvals to continue demolition of the site and to
disconnect the public utilities at 7820 Madison Street. Excavation and construction of the new
townhomes will commence once the developer obtains the remaining necessary permits from
the IEPA, IDOT and Village.
Community Bank submitted a building permit application for the interior build-out and
addition of a drive-through at 7751 Lake Street.
Village staff and consultants conducted technical review meetings for the proposed Planned
Developments for the Concordia residence hall near Bonnie Brae as well as the multi-family
development at 1101/1111 Bonnie Brae. A public hearing for the Concordia project is
scheduled for June 2, 2016.

Professional Background: I am a litigation/trial attorney primarily handling complex
personal injury matters involving issues of professional and product liability. I have
done this work for 10 years since obtaining my license. As these type of cases last
several years and involve multiple parties/issues, in addition to day-to-day
management they require long term strategic planning to bring them to successful
conclusion.
Service on Other Village or Community Organizations : Prior to moving to River
Forest in 2012 my family lived in a large historically renovated condo development
consisting of 6 buildings and approximately 950 units. I still own the condo. I have
served on the board of directors for my building since its inception in 2004 and have
been board president since 2005. There is also a master board association which
governs all matters common to all six buildings. I have served as president of that
board since its inception in 2007. In shore, my work in this capacity involves
overseeing the immediate needs of my individual building and the overall
development while managing their respective longterm financial health.

TO:
FROM:
SUBJECT:
West Thatcher Commuter Lot Improvements
Issue: Staff is seeking the Village Board’s consent to move forward with advertising the
proposed improvements for competitive bid.
Analysis: Staff has investigated multiple design options for this project over the past year in
order to determine the appropriate level of green infrastructure to incorporate while staying
within the established project budget. Staff worked with the Parks Foundation Sustainability
Committee to solicit feedback regarding the different design options and on February 29th a
presentation was made to the Village Board regarding these options. The Sustainability
Committee provided a recommendation to move forward with the “drive aisles” plan.
The determination made at that meeting was to move forward with a detailed design and
associated cost estimate for the “drive aisles” option. A request was made to bring the final
project layout and cost estimate back to the Village Board for review prior to advertising the
project for competitive bid.
Subsequent to the Village Board meeting on February 29th, staff completed the final design and
cost estimate of the “drive aisles” option. Unfortunately, the final cost estimate was overbudget. In an effort to maintain costs within the project budget, the area of permeable pavers
was reduced to a point where project costs were acceptable. This resulted in an area of pavers
less than the “drive aisles” option previously presented, but maximizes the amount of
stormwater filtration and storage available. An exhibit of the proposed improvements and the
associated cost estimate have been attached for review.
If the unit pricing received is less than what Staff has anticipated, the project can be modified
to increase the footprint of the permeable pavers as much as possible while staying within the
project budget.
Requested Board Action: Staff recommends the following motion: Motion to advertise the
proposed West Thatcher Commuter Lot Improvements Project for competitive bid.

Subj: Introduction of Planned Development – Lake and Lathrop
______________________________________________________________________________
As you are well aware, the Village spent considerable time negotiating a redevelopment agreement
for the Lake and Lathrop project. That process is complete and the developer has now turned his
attention to property acquisition as well as the planned development application. As you know, it is
typical for the Village Board to be “Step 1” on the planned development process flowchart. And
even though there has been a lot of discussion over the years on this project, Staff felt it was still
appropriate for the developer to make a presentation to the Village Board with an overview of the
project. Attached please find a copy of the preliminary site plan that was included in the RDA.
Tim Hague and David Howat will be in attendance for Monday night’s meeting to formally
introduce their project.
Thank you.

Subj: Communications Services Contract
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Background
The Village currently provides communications services in-house by producing the monthly
E-News, electronic resident notifications, and maintaining the Village website. On special
projects, the Village has used third-party providers on an as-needed basis for communications
services including website maintenance, graphic design, and crisis situations. The Village
Board of Trustees recently identified the enhancement of the Village’s communication efforts
as a goal in order to improve customer service and organizational performance. Accordingly,
funds were budgeted for this purpose in Fiscal Year 2017.
Analysis
In order to execute improvements to the Village’s communications, Village staff released a
Request for Proposals (RFP) for Communications Support and Services in March, 2016. The
RFP outlined the Village’s expectations for the scope of services required. Nine proposals
were received in response to the Village’s Communications RFP.
After reviewing each response, Village staff ranked the firms based on their ability to meet
the Village’s scope of services as set forth in the RFP. Four firms were interviewed and two
firms were then selected as finalists based on their ability to provide relevant
communications services. Ultimately, Jasculca Terman’s knowledge and familiarity with
the community, experience with work most similar to the Village’s, and diverse,
experienced staff will allow their team to best meet the Village’s goals. Village staff was
impressed with Jasculca Terman’s communications audit proposal, their plan and ideas to
implement improved communications on behalf of the Village and their overall
understanding of the scope of services required.
Jasculca Terman Strategic Communications is located in Chicago, IL and has provided
communications services to clients for thirty five years. Chairman and CEO Rick Jasculca is
a long-time River Forest resident. Jasculca Terman has experience working on various
communications and marketing projects with other local governments including the Village
of Glenview, the City of Highland Park, and the Village of Oak Park.
Jasculca Terman will provide multiple services in accordance with the RFP by utilizing a
two-phased approach outlined below to develop and implement enhanced communication
strategies.
Phase I: Communications Audit & Strategy Development
Over a period of approximately four months, Jasculca Terman’s staff will conduct a
thorough audit of the Village’s existing communications and utilize that information to
develop an enhanced and elevated communications strategy. This process will include:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Professional review and analysis of the Village’s current external communications
tools and tactics, with specific feedback and recommendations for strategies to
enhance the effectiveness of the Village’s communications including website,
community media, digital and social media communications;
Collaboration and consultation with the Village to develop a scope of inquiry and
implement a series of internal interviews with Village staff members;
Collaboration and coordination with the Village to conduct a series of focus group
sessions with Village residents and business owners;
Scheduling and conducting multiple half-hour, one-on-one phone interviews with key
external opinion leaders selected by the Village;
Comparative analysis of external communications and outreach initiatives of other
comparable municipal organizations;
Development of a final written report summarizing the analysis, strategic
recommendations, tools and tactics to enhance the effectiveness of Village
communications and outreach initiatives.
Phase II: Implementation
The second phase will include the implementation of the strategies identified in Phase I for
the final eight months of the contract. Staff anticipates that this will include Jasculca
Terman managing a website redesign, implementing social media channels, as well as
monthly maintenance and content development on behalf of the Village. A separate
proposal for Phase II will be presented to the Village Board once Phase I is complete.
As a part of further evaluating the RFP response proposal from Jasculca Terman, staff
contacted each of the references provided by the firm in its proposal. The references have
all contracted with Jasculca Terman on multiple projects in the past and have a connection
to the public sector. Staff received overwhelmingly positive feedback about the quality of
the work produced, the firm’s ability to deliver final products in the timeframes identified,
and the positive impact these efforts had the organizations.
The Village of River Forest prides itself on providing a high level of customer service to its
residents. Staff looks forward to continuing those efforts by making impactful improvements
in its communications. Contracting with Jasculca Terman to review the Village’s
communications, formulate a plan moving forward, and implementing solution will take a
great step in beginning to realize improvements in communication.
Budget Impact
The FY 2017 budget includes $100,000 for communications-related projects. As this is
anticipated to be a nonrecurring expenditure that spans FY 2017, General Fund reserves
are being utilized to fund the project.
The attached contract includes the services identified in the Phase I: Communications Audit
and Strategy Development. Both staff and the consultant anticipate that this Phase will
take approximately 3-4 months to complete and will cost $51,000. Village staff and
Jasculca Terman were able to work together to reduce the cost identified in the RFP
response by $12,000 without compromising the services and deliverables that will be
provided.
Additionally, the two parties agreed to bill any third party fees through the Village to avoid
a 15% handling charge from the consultant. After further negotiation, Jasculca Terman also
agreed to eliminate the proposed 4% technology fee applied to all professional services
delivered by the firm. The Village and consultant will review technology related expenses
on a case-by-case basis.
As stated earlier, the proposal for Phase II will be presented at the conclusion of Phase I.
Recommendation
Village staff recommends that the Village Board award a contract to Jasculca Terman for the
Phase I: Communications Audit and Strategy Development.

Notice is hereby given that a public hearing will be held on Tuesday, July 12,
2016, at 7:00 p.m. at the River Forest Village Hall, First Floor Community Room, 400
Park Avenue, River Forest, Illinois 60305, (the “Public Hearing”), in regard to the
proposed designation of a redevelopment project area (the “Redevelopment Project
Area”), and the proposed approval of a redevelopment plan and project (the
“Redevelopment Plan and Project”) in relation thereto, for the proposed River Forest
Madison Street Tax Increment Financing District (the “Madison Street TIF District”),
pursuant to the provisions of the “Tax Increment Allocation Redevelopment Act,” 65
ILCS 5/11-74.4-1, et seq., as amended (the “TIF Act”).
The boundaries of the Redevelopment Project Area for the proposed Madison
Street TIF District are more fully set forth on the legal description attached hereto as
Exhibit “1” and made part hereof and the street location map attached hereto as Exhibit

The proposed Redevelopment Plan and Project provides for land acquisition and

Redevelopment Project Area. The contemplated Village actions include, but are not
limited to: acquisition of property and property interests; site preparation and clearance;
demolition; provision of public infrastructure and related public improvements and
rehabilitation of structures; interest rate write-downs; job training; the encouragement of
redevelopment agreements; assisting in the clean-up of any hazardous waste,
hazardous substances or underground storage tanks as required by State or Federal
law where these are a material impediment to redevelopment; addressing any flooding
problems; and improving opportunities for further development and redevelopment
within the Madison Street TIF District. The Village would realize the goals and
objectives of the Redevelopment Plan and Project through public finance techniques
including, but not limited to, tax increment allocation financing.

Forest may be contacted for further information, at the address above or by telephone
at (708) 366-8500.
Pursuant to the TIF Act, the Joint Review Board for the proposed Madison Street
TIF District (the “JRB”) is being convened to review the public record, planning
documents, Eligibility Report, Housing Impact Study, and the proposed ordinances
approving the Redevelopment Project Area and the Redevelopment Plan and Project

Park Avenue, River Forest, Illinois. Those taxing districts with representatives on the

Redevelopment Project Area and Redevelopment Plan and Project for the proposed
Madison Street TIF District shall be advisory and non-binding, and shall be adopted by
a majority vote of those members of the JRB that are present and voting, and submitted
to the Village within thirty (30) days after the first convening of the JRB. Failure of the
JRB to submit its report on a timely basis shall not delay the Public Hearing, nor shall it
delay any other step in the process of designating the Redevelopment Project Area or

District.
Prior to and at the July 12, 2016 Public Hearing, all interested persons, affected
taxing districts and the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity
