Village President's Report - Item : 6-A
Monday, October 31, 2011 - Trick or Treat Day in Buffalo Grove
WHEREAS, the children of Buffalo Grove are entitled to the fun and festivity associated with
the observance of the Halloween "Trick or Treat" custom - going from door to door in the
immediate neighborhood, displaying their costumes and requesting "treats", and
WHEREAS, there is increased possibility of accidents due to the general carefree spirit of
children at this particular time and when costumes and masks may make them indistinguishable
in the darkness; and,
WHEREAS, the late afternoon and early evening schedule is more coducive to the participation
to the younger children, for whom the observance was originally intended,
NOW, THEREFORE, I, JEFFREY S. BRAIMAN, President of the Village of Buffalo Grove
do hereby proclaim that Monday October 31, 2011 shall be known as TRICK-OR-TREAT
DAY in Buffalo Grove between the hours of 2:00 pm and 7:00 pm.
I also ask that young children be accompanied by parents or other responsible adults. I further
request that householders indicate their willingness to welcome children by keeping their porch
or exterior lights on and that youngsters call only on homes so lighted.
Because there have been incidents of children receiving and consuming articles of food or candy
that have been tampered with, it is the recommendation of this office that parents supervise
closely so that children do not consume any "treats" until closely examined. It is further advised
that everyone follow the rule "if in doubt – throw it out" where any evidence of tampering with
packaging or surfaces of consumable products exists.
I encourage the cooperation of all citizens, young and old, in making this a happy and safe
occasion for children.
Dated this 12th Day of September, 2011.

Personnel Manual Update
7-C
Overview
The process of revising the Personnel Manual ("Manual") for Village employees is currently being
undertaken in recognition that a comprehensive review of the Manual had not been conducted for several
years. It is important to note that incremental changes have been made to the Manual over the years and that
human resource related practices and procedures have been modified, as required, to assure that the Village's
procedures remained up-to-date and was legally compliant. This most recent review of the Manual seeks to
incorporate recent changes in Federal and State labor and employment law into the document, as well as to
address current human resources practices.
Special labor and employment law counsel from Laner Muchin, as well as the Village's Department
Heads and their staffs, are in the process of reviewing the document. Their recommendations on both
current and proposed language will be incorporated into the final document when presented to the Village
President and Board of Trustees on October 17, 2011.
Once the Manual's revisions are finalized, the proposed amendments are intended to: A) ensure that the
Village fully complies with all applicable Federal and State labor and employment law; B) clarify the
policies, practices and procedures currently located within the document; and, C) incorporate new human
resource related policies, practices and procedures into the existing document.
Although staff plans to seek Board approval of the revised Manual as part of the Regular Board meeting
of October 17, 2011, the amendments to the Manual will not become effective until on or after November
1, 2011 which will allow staff adequate time to distribute the amended Manual to all personnel, as well as
educate employees where appropriate.

The sum of all projects originally submitted for consideration for the 2011 portion of the C.I.P. had an estimated cost of $8,366,830 charged against the following five separate village operating funds:
Corporate
Motor Fuel Tax
Capital Projects‐Facilities
Capital Projects‐Street Maintenance & Construction
Water and Sewer
After staff review, the final projects brought forward into the published C.I.P. and subsequently incorporated into the budget had a construction value of $6,320,830 resulting in a difference of $2,046,000. Some of the projects’ scope of work was reduced in order to be manageable within the budget and the remaining projects were deferred or cancelled. Of the projects listed, it is anticipated that eight will be completed by December 31, 2011. The remainder of the projects will be carried over into FY 2012. Projects that are generally carried forward are longer‐term construction or capital acquisition programs, especially in street construction, where both seasonal constraints and inter‐
agency coordination create challenges in completing the projects. This is the case with seven carry over projects. Several projects are reported as being complete although the projects will continue the next year with a different scope of work. These are recurring maintenance programs such as the annual sidewalk/bike path replacement, street maintenance projects, and water system maintenance programs. The most significant projects to be brought forward to the next fiscal year are the Well at Pump House #7, Dundee Road Streetscape Improvement, Weiland Road/Prairie Road Street Improvements, Arlington Heights Road Water Main Replacement, and Pump House Repairs and Security Improvements.
The anticipated expenditures, projected as of December 31, 2011, are approximately $3,970,200 or 63% of the C.I.P. estimate as integrated into the FY 2011 budget. The largest portion of the variation in the estimated FY 2011 costs versus actual expenditures can be attributed to the aforementioned significant multi‐agency construction projects and the Pump House Repairs and Security Improvements. Additionally, the scope of the financial system software project has been expanded. This project was originally contemplated as a version upgrade of the current software and has since been extended to include new platforms. There were no other variances of note to report for this program year. Expenditures for this year's programs were funded with recurring revenue, surplus from prior fiscal periods, fund balance transfers, or proceeds from corporate purpose bond issues.
This year's expenditures on Capital Improvement Plan projects appear to be line with budgeted expectations and fiscal limitations established throughout the C.I.P., budget, and appropriation process. This status report provides a point of closure on FY 2011 projects and provides a segue into the development of the next five‐year Capital Improvement Plan.

Overview
BISON AWARD HISTORY AND PURPOSE. The Village's Business Showcase Program was created in
August, 1999 with the intention to highlight and promote local businesses. The Village promotes this
program and encourages residents, employees, and business manager or owner nominations. Since not all
businesses can be highlighted in the Village Newsletter and other media, the Village uses this program as one
opportunity to promote businesses for coordinating a special event, supporting a charitable cause, celebrating
an anniversary, or anything unique and newsworthy. Businesses that go "above and beyond" their normal
day-to-day operation may be eligible for the Village’s Golden Bison Award. Selected businesses are featured
at a Village Board meeting, recognized in the Village newsletter, and press releases are sent to local
newspapers.
ABOUT DEERFIELDS BAKERY. Five generations of the Schmitt family have carried on the family
bakery tradition that Adam Schmitt started in 1886. Today, the Buffalo Grove bakery is run by owner
Tim Schmitt, with support from his father Carl and uncle Kurt. The first Schmitt family bakery opened
in 1886 in Weisloch, Germany. In 1911, Adam's son Carl and his wife Anna immigrated to Chicago
and opened "The New York Bakery". The family tradition continued. The Buffalo Grove bakery was
opened in 1993, and today, the Schmitt's operate three locations in the Chicagoland area: Buffalo
Grove, Deerfield & Schaumburg.
Deerfields Bakery is a great supporter of local and national charitable causes. They have generously
donated and coordinated special events for events and programs including funds for Haiti relief, Japan
relief, Doctors without Borders, and others. They are currently partnering with Share Our Strength, a
national organization and donating 10% of all their lemonaid products for the month of August to
support their No Kid Hungry program. Locally, Deerfields Bakery has been a generous sponsor of park
district, village, schools and other local events. On a daily basis, the bakery staff provides baked goods
to support local food pantries.
125 YEAR CELEBRATION. The web site for Deerfields Bakery offers a great deal of information
such as their Gluten Free products, special promotions, and more.
The public is invited to
an anniversary celebration on Saturday, October 15, 2011 at their Buffalo Grove location from
4:00 pm - 8:00 pm. The event will include food, music, and a special guest appearance. A signature
cake and other dessert will also be featured.
Trustee Ottenheimer stated, "There's no sweeter business more deserving of the Village's Golden Bison
Award than Deerfields Bakery". The Village President and Board of Trustees proudly recognize and
honor Deerfields Bakery for their community spirit and contributions. The Village extends its best
wishes for continued, great success!

Public Information Meeting
Thursday, September 22, 2011
7:00 pm, Village Hall
Meeting with White Pine Creek area residents
and others interested in the Village’s stormwater management plan.
Water pollution degrades surface waters making them unsafe for drinking, fishing, swimming, and other
activities. As regulated by the Clean Water Act, the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System
permit program controls water pollution by regulating point sources that discharge pollutants into waters
of the United States. As part of the permit program, the Village is coordinating a public information
meeting to 1) provide information about the Village’s Stormwater Management Plan; 2) provide
educational information such as where residents can dispose of motor oil, white goods, household paint,
construction material, and more; 3) address the dangers of dumping in the storm sewers; and 4) seek
public’s comments regarding the Village’s stormwater plan. A special presentation is planned by Renee
Wilde, Environmental Scientist and John Briggs, Environmental Resource Engineer with Bonestroo
Consulting Engineers. An update of resident volunteer nature planting maintenance and restoration will
also be presented by Village resident Sarah Schultz.
If residents have any questions in advance of the meeting, they can contact Ghida Neukirch, Deputy
Village Manager or Greg Boysen, PE, Director of Public Works at 847-459-2500 or info@vbg.org.

Ordinance No. 2011-__________: Ordinance Amending
Title 15 of the Buffalo Grove Municipal Code - Buildings
and Construction
12-A
Recommendation of Action
Staff recommends approval of the proposed amendments to Title 15 iof the Municipal Code.
Overview
The attached ordinance contains proposed amendments to Title 15, Buildings and Construction, of the
Village of Buffalo Grove Municipal Code. A brief description of the major changes are as follows:
1. Patios were added to Section 108.2.A.1 Schedule of permit fees (Page 2). This is in response to the
style of patios currently being constructed that incorporate electrical lighting systems, grills with natural
gas connections and fire pits that all have code requirements, but are currently being installed without
review or inspection.
2. A fee was added to Section 108.2.A.14 Permits for parking lot repairs/re-striping (Page 7). Due to
the time spent with review and inspection, this fee has become necessary to cover the costs associated
with these permits.
3. Section 905.4 Location of Class I standpipe hose connections was added to both Chapter 15.04 the
International Building Code and Chapter 15.07 the International Fire Code (Pages 12 and 25
respectively). This section had been inadvertently left out during the last revision.
4. AP101 Fire Sprinklers (Page 24) was amended to delete the reference to sprinklers for single family
homes, which the Village does not require.
5. Chapter 15.14 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) (Pages 34-35) was amended to adopt
the 2009 IECC. This was in response to the State of Illinois adopting the IECC as the energy code for the
state.
6.
Chapter 15.20 Fence Code had two sections modified. Section 15.20.040 Residential Districts
(Page 39) and Section 15.20.070 (Page 41) were amended to ascertain the definition of an “ornamental”
fence and where this type of fencing is allowed to be located. This revision solidifies the prohibition of
fencing in the front yard, except as allowed as an Ornamental Fence.

Authorization to accept contract with Twin Supplies for
efficient lighting initiative at Village facilities
13-A
Recommendation of Action
Staff recommends accepting Twin Supplies proposal to retrofit the lighting at all Public Safety facilities.
Budget Impact

Fund / Account
451 / 3916
Budget Notes
Overview
Staff sought out proposals from Twin Supplies and All Tech Energy Inc. Twin Supplies' proposal valued the
cost to upgrade all the lighting at our Public Safety facilities at $64,801.15 all of which would be covered by
grant funding. Twin Supplies also proposed to wait 4-6 months for payment allowing the Village to receive
grant funding prior to paying Twin Supplies. Alltech Energy's proposal valued the cost to upgrade all the
lighting at our Public Safety facilities at $60,552.00 all but $756.00 would be covered by grant funding.
After reviewing both proposals it would appear that Twin Supplies would be the preferable vendor to
complete this project.
Next Steps
Upon acceptance of the proposal staff will ask the vendor to begin the process of applying for the
Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity grant funding. Once the notice to proceed has been
received from D.C.E.O, staff will notify the vendor to proceed with installation of the new energy efficient
lighting.

Award of Bid: Cambridge on the Lake Lift Station
Rehabilitation - Group B&C Work
13-B
Recommendation of Action
Staff recommends award of bid for Group B & C work to the lowest responsible and responsive bidder, Marc
Kresmary Construction, LLC.
Budget Impact
$144,150
Fund / Account
542-411
Budget Notes
Overview
Following the flooded dry well at the Cambridge on the Lake (COTL) Lift Station in October 2010, several
measures were taken to temporarily regain function of the Lift Station. By-pass pumping arrangements and
temporary electrical control panels were installed by Village personnel.
In addition to the work performed by the Village, several immediately needed items from the previously
planned COTL Lift Station Rehabilitation project were separated into "Group A" work which was
immediately bid and awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, Marc Kresmary
Construction, LLC. Group A work was completed and the station is temporarily functional..
The remaining work, of a less immediate nature but vital to the long term operational quality of the
Station, was split into Group B & C work and bid separately. Staff now recommends that Group B & C
work be awarded to the lowest responsible and responsive bidder, Marc Kresmary Construction, LLC, in
accordance with the Engineer's Bid Review and Recommendations attached.
Next Steps
Following the Village Board's award of bid, staff will enter into a contract with Marc Kresmary
Construction, LLC and the involved work will be completed, insuring the long term operational quality of
COTL Lift Station.
Prior Actions
The Cambridge on the Lake Lift Station Rehabilitation Group A work was previously awarded to Kresmary under
which certain emergency repairs and security upgrades were performed. Group A construction work is complete.
Anticipated Future Board Actions
No further Board action would be anticipated at this time regarding the Cambridge on the Lake Lift Station
Rehabilitation.

Authorization to Waive Bids and to Purchase - Pedestrian
Fence Along Arlington Heights Road
14-A
Recommendation of Action
Staff recommends that the Village Board authorize a Bid Waiver and Purchase of 875 feet of chain link fence
replacement along Arlighton Heights Road.
Budget Impact
$14,333
Fund / Account
541-4412
Budget Notes
Overview
Approximately 875 feet of green vinyl chain link fence along the east side of Arlington Heights Road near
Resevoir #1 is in need of replacement due to age, deterioration, and vehicular accident damage. A price for
replacement was obtained form the contractor currently performing the Arlington Heights Road work under
the Cook County contract. The cost is $17,736.25.
The Village expects to be reimbursed $3,403.20 from the motorist's insurance company to offset a portion
of the cost.
A bid waiver is requested because the contractor is currently in the area working and their pricing
compares favorably to a quote obtained previously from an outside fencing contractor, at a savings of
almost $6,000. A copy of the alternate proposal is attached as an appendix.
Next Steps
Following the Board's approval, Village Staff will work with the Cook County Highway Department to
initiate a change order to their road project contract to cover the work, which would later be billed by CCHD
to the Village.
Prior Actions
None
Anticipated Future Board Actions
No futher Board action would be required.
