Executive Summary

This report summarizes Exponent’s observations and findings from an investigation of a water
loss event in the Village of Skokie, Illinois, on February 14, 2025. The Executive Summary
cannot summarize all of Exponent’s technical evaluations, analyses, and conclusions. Hence the
main body of this report is at all times the controlling document.

On February 14, 2025, a water loss event occurred near the intersection of Emerson Street and
East Prairie Road. The source of water was a buried 36-inch diameter wye assembly with a
missing end cap. Wye assemblies are junctions that change the direction of water flow. The wye
assembly consists of a wye junction (a “Y” shaped adapter) and piping entering and leaving the
wye junction. If one leg of the wye junction is not used, then it can be capped or plugged with an
end cap. The end cap is held in place with a lead and oakum seal and thrust blocking (buried
timber or concrete) to further restrain the lead and oakum sealed end cap.

The subject wye assembly is part of a water transmission line that connects the Village of
Skokie’s water system to the City of Evanston’s system. Construction documentation detailed a
1954 installation for Skokie’s system to the intersection of Church Street and East Prairie Road,
and a 1956 installation for Evanston’s system to the intersection of Gulf Road and Emerson
Street with McCormick Boulevard. The subject wye assembly involved in the 2025 water loss
event was part of the water transmission line that connected the 1954 and 1956 installations.
Historical documentation for this portion of the water transmission system (i.e., the line
connecting the 1954 and 1956 installations) could not be located.

After isolating the water source, the subject wye assembly was excavated and replaced.
Markings on the piping entering the subject wye junction indicated the piping was fabricated in
1956. Timber and portions of the lead and oakum seal were also recovered during excavation of
the subject wye assembly. Despite multiple search and recovery efforts, the subject wye
assembly’s end cap was not recovered. Testing confirmed the presence of lead on the wye
junction where the end cap would have been held in place.

The investigation identified two additional wye assemblies within the water transmission line
that connects the 1954 and 1956 installations. These assemblies were also excavated and
replaced. The first assembly was at the intersection of Church Street and East Prairie Road.
Markings on the piping entering the Church Street and East Prairie Road wye assembly indicated
a 1954 fabrication. During excavation, timber thrust blocking of the end cap was also
documented. The thrust blocking of the wye assembly at Church Street and East Prairie Road
was bidirectional (parallel and perpendicular to the end cap) and included six pieces of timber
and additional wedges. The end cap of the wye assembly was well seated, and the seal was
confirmed to contain lead. The second assembly was excavated near Sculpture Park southeast of
the intersection of North McCormick Boulevard and Emerson Street. Markings on the piping of
the Sculpture Park wye assembly indicated a 1956 fabrication. Thrust blocking observed during


Page ix 2501950.000 - 2930
 Return to Agenda




excavation of the Sculpture Park wye assembly was unidirectional (perpendicular to the endcap)
and consisted of two pieces of timber with no wedges. The investigation noted displacement of
the endcap outward from the Sculpture Park wye assembly, as evidenced both by external
protrusion of the end cap and lead and oakum seal from the wye junction and a corresponding
internal gap between the end cap and the recessed surface of the wye junction. This outward
displacement is evidence of a mechanism of gradual displacement of the end cap due to
inadequate thrust blocking. This mechanism would eventually result in end cap separation from
the wye assembly, as observed in the subject wye assembly at Emerson Street and East Prairie
Road.

The investigation concluded that the water loss event on February 14, 2025, occurred due to
separation of the subject wye assembly’s end cap. The investigation found that an additional wye
assembly excavated from Sculpture Park had the same markings (1956) as the subject wye
assembly, and its end cap was displaced outward from the wye junction. During excavation of
the Sculpture Park wye assembly, less robust thrust blocking (fewer pieces of timber aligned
unidirectionally) was observed in comparison with the wye assembly excavated near the
intersection of Church Street and East Prairie Road. The Church Street and East Prairie Road
wye assembly bore markings indicating an earlier fabrication date (1954), and did not show signs
of outward displacement of the assembly’s end cap. Based on these observations, inadequate
thrust blocking was highlighted as a likely primary cause to the separation of the subject wye
assembly’s end cap.

Background

On February 14, 2025, the Village of Skokie, Illinois, experienced a water loss event near the
intersection of Emerson Street and East Prairie Road. The Village of Skokie subsequently
contacted Exponent for assistance with investigating the root cause of this event. This section
discusses the methodology Exponent used during the investigation and summarizes relevant
background information that was necessary for evaluating cause hypotheses.

Methodology Overview
The methodology used in this investigation is consistent with the scientific method, a well-
established and widely-accepted framework for incident investigation. Figure 1 illustrates the
scientific method graphically. Broadly, this methodology aims to support or refute hypotheses
through data-driven analysis, with the aim of identifying a final hypothesis that is most likely to
explain an observation. This scientific approach is critical because it enables the investigator to
perform an evaluation based on evidence, rather than on speculation or subjective belief.




 Figure 1. Scientific method of investigation.1

As part of this process, the Exponent team reviewed documents and information provided by
Skokie personnel (e.g., details surrounding the February 14, 2025, event; maps and historical

project files; water quality report; system process data including flows and pressures),
documented the subject (failed) wye assembly2 and similar wye assemblies, and performed lab
testing and analysis to characterize and compare the investigated wye assemblies, as discussed in
the following sections.


Event Overview
At approximately 5:15 a.m. on February 14, 2025, a significant water leak was reported near the
intersection of East Prairie Road and Emerson Street in Skokie, Illinois, as shown in Figure 2.3
The leak resulted from the separation of an end cap from a wye assembly in a buried 36-inch
diameter main water transmission line. Public Works crews responded and isolated the line to
stop the leak. The subject wye assembly was excavated, replaced, as shown in Figure 3, and
retained along with lumber that was found at the excavation site that is believed to be part of the
original thrust blocking for the subject end cap, as shown in Figure 4. Public Works used several
methods to attempt to locate and recover the end cap of the subject wye assembly, including
ground penetrating radar at the excavation site, metal detectors, and mechanical searching of the
excavation debris piles with a backhoe. Despite these efforts, the subject end cap of the wye
assembly was not located or recovered during search and excavation efforts.




2 Note that “wye” may also be written as “Y;” Exponent will use the former spelling in this report. Additionally, throughout
 this report, Exponent will use “wye junction” to refer to an individual wye pipe section, and “wye assembly” to refer to a wye
 junction together with interconnected piping legs, end cap, seal material, and/or thrust blocking, all of which will be
 discussed in greater detail in following sections of this report.

Wye Assembly Overview
Wye junctions are pipe connecting features in the shape of the letter Y, consisting of three
branches that are used to redirect water by either splitting a single water flow into two, or
combining two water flows into one. Unlike tee (also “T”) junctions, which have an angle of

 Return to Agenda




~90° between the branches, wye junctions have a smaller angle between two of their branches to
allow a smoother divide or combination of the fluid flows. The wye junctions inspected by
Exponent in the context of the Skokie water loss event featured two branches aligned in the same
direction, with the third branch forming an acute angle with one of the branches, as shown in
Figure 5.




 Figure 5. Diagram of a possible wye assembly configuration. While wye junctions
 can be used with pipes (thus diverting or combining the water flow), all
 the wye junctions inspected by Exponent were fitted with an end cap at
 one of the ends at time of installation.

All the wye assemblies inspected by Exponent were fitted with an end cap sealing one of the
branches at time of installation. In this context, the role of the wye assembly is not to split the
flow but rather to redirect it at the angle provided by the two “open” branches, essentially
functioning as an elbow connector. The end caps were fitted onto the wye junction with a “lead
and oakum” seal. This sealing technique involves placing the end cap onto the wye junction and
packing the joint between both parts with oakum, i.e., a preparation of tarred fibers (usually
hemp) that can be shaped to seal the gap efficiently. Molten lead is then poured over the oakum
and left to solidify around and above the fibers. The resulting joint, comprising a mixture of
fibers embedded within the lead, is intended to provide a durable waterproof seal at the end cap
joint, as shown in Figure 6.




Page 5 2501950.000 - 2930
 Return to Agenda




 Figure 6. Diagram of a lead and oakum seal.9 Here the seal is represented
 between two pipes, but the same principle applies with end caps.

While the lead and oakum seal can prevent water from leaking at the joint, neither the lead nor
the oakum is expected to provide substantial structural support for the joint. Structurally, the
joint may deteriorate due to the forces transmitted to the seal and end cap by the water flowing in
the pipe. To mitigate this issue, wye assemblies (and similar spots in piping assemblies that are
susceptible to forces due to changes in direction of water flow) are typically structurally
reinforced with “thrust blocks.” Thrust blocks are external components placed outside of the
piping assembly that serve to absorb thrust forces and transfer them to the soil around the piping.
There is not a standardized single design of thrust blocks; rather, they can be shaped and placed
as needed for the piping assembly and can be made of various materials, the most common being
concrete and wood. As will be described in more detail in this report, all the thrust blocking that
has been identified as part of Exponent’s investigation of the wye assemblies has consisted of
sections of timber set into the soil around the wye assemblies at the end caps and other points of
change in water flow direction.


Construction Documentation and Original Installation
The City of Evanston is the water supplier for the Village of Skokie. Historical construction
documentation details a “1954 Water Feeder Project” in the Village of Skokie up to the

intersection of East Prairie Road and Church Street. The end of the water line is indicated with a
note reading “Future Feeder from Evanston,” as shown in Figure 7. Similar documentation exists
for a “1956 McCormick to Evanston Supply Project” for the City of Evanston, ending at the
intersection of Gulf Road and Emerson Street with McCormick Boulevard. These documents
indicate that the end of the Evanston Supply Project would be a plug with temporary blocking, as

documentation could not be located for this interconnection portion of the water distribution
system, but it is possible that the interconnection was performed contemporaneously with the
projects to connect the water systems in the 1950s. As will be discussed in a subsequent section
of this report, both the subject wye assembly and its closest neighboring wye assembly have
markings indicating the piping was manufactured in 1956, coincident with the 1956 Evanston
project timeframe. Conversely, the wye assembly excavated at Church Street and East Prairie
Road bore a marking indicating it was manufactured in 1954, consistent with the 1954 Skokie
project timeframe.

Engineering Analysis and Investigation (Data
Collection)

Investigation and Analysis of the Subject Assembly
Following the February 14, 2025, water loss event, the subject wye assembly was excavated
from its location at the intersection of Emerson Street and East Prairie Road in Skokie, tarped,
and initially secured at a local outdoor storage yard before being moved to an indoor location to
mitigate further degradation from environmental conditions. On March 13, 2025, Exponent
investigated this subject wye assembly. As shown in Figure 10, it presents as a single wye
junction component with one section of piping still attached to its southwest end, which was cut
to allow excavation. Alongside the wye assembly, a piece of timber and the remnants of the lead
and oakum seal were also excavated, as shown in Figure 11. Notably, the end cap expected to
seal the west end of the wye junction was not recovered as part of the excavation, or subsequent
search and recovery efforts.

Installation Date of the Subject Assembly
The section of pipe attached to the southwest end of the subject wye junction featured a
manufacturing stamp that read “ACIPCO 1956,” as shown in Figure 12. ACIPCO was identified
as most likely to be the American Cast Iron Piping Company, although no specific historical
records related to this piping assembly were available for review. No manufacturing stamp was
found on the wye junction itself. On this basis, Exponent estimates that the subject wye junction
was most likely installed in or around 1956.

Deposits Found in Subject Assembly
The wye assembly featured material deposits on most inner surfaces of the wye junction and
piping section. The deposits have a range of morphologies, colors, and sizes, and therefore could
not be comprehensively identified during the inspection. Specifically, the inner rim of the wye
junction west end (where the end cap and seal would recess into the junction) had more deposits
compared to the inner rim of the east end, as shown in Figure 13. It was also noted that the
deposits in the recessed lip of the junction where the end cap would reside did not appear to
propagate from the exterior of the assembly inward. Instead, deposit growth appeared to
originate from the internal water contact side, with growth into the sealing surface.

 comparatively more deposits.

Deposit samples were collected in selected locations of the wye assembly for further chemical
analysis. Details on the locations and chemical analysis results are discussed in the subsequent
Lab Analysis of Deposit Samples section.

Composition of the Subject Assembly and Components
X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) analysis was used to determine the composition of the wye junction,
as well as the attached section of pipe and the lead and oakum seal. XRF analysis was performed
with a handheld XRF analyzer that outputs the percentage of each detected element in the
material, as shown in Figure 14. If the XRF analyzer matches the percentages to a known
composition in its database (e.g., a specific commercial alloy), it will output this known

composition. Otherwise, it will display and record the percentages without reporting an alloy
match.




 Figure 14. Use of the XRF analyzer on the lead and oakum seal (a)22 and photograph of
 the XRF analyzer screen (b), which shows that the component is mostly made
 of lead (Pb).23 Here, the iron (Fe) content indicates the lead seal was in contact
 with a component containing iron.

The wye junction was tested in six locations, and the XRF results were consistent with carbon
steel or cast iron, as shown in Figure 15.24 Further, small areas of damage to the surface were
observed at the top of the east end of the wye junction (Figure 16). Based on Exponent’s
understanding of the handling and transporting of the subject wye assembly after the water loss
event, these gouges likely correspond to the location of the chains that were used to secure the
wye assembly during its excavation and its placement onto the truck that transported it to the
storage location. Because the damage demonstrates that the material of the wye junction has
some degree of ductility (a deformation instead of cracking/breaking) under the load applied by
the chains, it is most likely that the wye junction is made of ductile iron. Similar gouges were
observed on the piping section at the southwest end of the wye junction, which indicates it is also
most likely made of ductile iron. Ductile iron is a common alloy used for the manufacturing of
water piping.




22 P3130061.jpeg.
23 P3130062.jpeg. Exponent annotations.
24 The main compositional difference between carbon steel and cast iron is the percentage of carbon, with 0.05-2 wt% of carbon
 in carbon steel and >2 wt% of carbon in cast iron. However, the XRF analyzer does not measure carbon content and can only
 approximate the iron content as the “balance” percentage once other alloying elements have been measured. Consequently,
 the XRF analyzer cannot differentiate precisely between carbon steel and cast iron.

 Figure 16. Instances of ductile damage near the flange of the wye junction east
 end.27 The capacity of the junction material to deform rather than break or
 crack indicates that it is likely ductile iron.

XRF analysis of the section of pipe attached to the subject wye junction does not output a
specific alloy match, but instead shows it is made of an iron alloy with relatively high
percentages of manganese and silicon, as shown in Figure 17. This may be due to surface
contamination of the pipe and does not correspond to known commercial grades.

 contamination.

As shown in Figure 14, the lead and oakum seal was also tested with the XRF analyzer and
found to be mostly composed of lead. Similarly, the inner rim of the west end of the wye
junction (i.e., where the end cap was installed) shows high levels of lead on its surface, which
confirms that it is the location where the lead and oakum seal was placed before the event
(Figure 18).

Engineering Analysis of Provided Data
Water flow and pressure data from both water distribution systems (Skokie and Evanston) were
reviewed to look for pre-event anomalies. Specifically, the review focused on whether data
supported the hypothesis that the end cap separated due to an internal over-pressurization from
the water system. The datasets included the pressure and flow in the Skokie system from
2/10/2025 through 2/15/2025 at 9 locations,32 while the Evanston system included pressure at
two locations (MCCORMICK EAST and MCCORMICK WEST) and flow at two locations
(MCCORMICK EAST and GROSSPOINT) from 2/10/2025 through 2/16/2025.33 Data from
both water systems indicated that both flow and pressure on the morning of 2/14/2025 were
within the ranges observed during 2/10/2025 to 2/14/2025. There were no trends suggesting that
a high-pressure transient occurred in the reviewed timeframe.

As previously discussed, the water in the involved distribution system is supplied by the City of
Evanston. Evanston’s water supply system was first constructed in the late 1800s and has
undergone several improvements, including a major Capital Improvement Program in the

1980s.34 The system draws water from Lake Michigan through a chemical treatment, mixing,
settling, and filtering system.35 Finished drinking water is stored in reservoirs where it is
subjected to additional chemical treatment before pumping into the distribution system. Copies
of the annual Water Utility Report from Evanston’s Water Production Bureau from 2001 to 2023
were reviewed. The reports generally contain a description of the water system, an overview of
drinking water quality requirements, water quality data, and information about contaminants and
water conservation. Based on initial review, water quality data for the system appear consistent
with specified drinking water requirements throughout the timeframes of the provided reports.36

In reports prior to 2009, there was also a section that detailed capital investment upgrades to the
system. In the 2004-2008 reports, the capital improvements section included a topic area for
continual upgrade of aging infrastructure through new water main installations. As an example,
in the 2007 report, new water mains scheduled for replacement included Laurel Avenue and
Lemar Avenue (between Emerson Street and Lyons Street) and Lyons Street (between Leland
Avenue and Hartrey Avenue).37 The location is shown in reference to the February 14, 2025,
leak location in Figure 19. No further details or insight were provided regarding whether the
scheduled replacement was performed, or the observed condition of the water main or any
potential wye assemblies.

Excavation of Other Similar Assemblies
As shown in Figure 9, the interconnection line between the 1956 Evanston and 1954 Skokie
water projects had two other locations with wye assemblies. Figure 20 highlights these locations,
which occur:

 • At the intersection of Church Street and East Prairie Road (approximate
 coordinates: 42°02’53.5” N, 87°42’50.8” W)

 Figure 20. Locations of other wye assemblies along the Skokie-Evanston
 interconnection line.39

As discussed previously, limited historical documentation of the installation of these wye
assemblies was available. Given they were on the same interconnection line and likely installed
as part of that interconnection project, they were excavated, replaced, and retained as part of the
investigation. Activities performed as part of that replacement project included carefully
excavating the area around the wye assembly (to preserve its as-found field condition for later
analysis and observe the installed thrust blocking), cutting adjoining piping segments to extract
the wye assembly, and replacing it with an elbow connector. Exponent attended excavations at
both locations in order to document the as-found field condition of the wye assemblies as they
were progressively exposed throughout the excavation process. After excavation and extraction,
the wye assemblies were transferred to a storage facility.

Excavation at Church Street and East Prairie Road
The wye assembly at Church Street and East Prairie Road was excavated on July 28 and 29,
2025. During this excavation, a valve and additional piping upstream (northeast) of the wye

assembly were replaced in addition to the wye assembly, and Public Works updated
documentation accordingly. As illustrated in Figure 21, the wye assembly in this location had
substantial timber thrust blocking against its end cap, and the timbers appeared to be in good
condition. Figure 22 depicts schematics of the wye assembly (top and side views) that document
the locations of all identified thrust blocking in the vicinity of the Church Street and East Prairie
Road wye junction.

was replaced during this excavation. As illustrated in Figure 23, the wye assembly in this
location had some timber thrust blocking against its end cap. Figure 24 depicts schematics of the

Comparison Between Church Street and East Prairie Road and Sculpture
Park Wye Assemblies
Several key differences were noted between these two other excavated wye assemblies:

 1. Different soil conditions. At Church Street and East Prairie Road, the wye
 assembly was surrounded primarily by soil, and the eastern end of its thrust
 blocking was butted against clay. At Sculpture Park, the wye assembly was
 surrounded primarily by clay, and there was a comparatively large amount of
 miscellaneous debris (e.g., bricks, pieces of concrete) in the surrounding backfill.
 2. Different orientation. At Church Street and East Prairie Road, the wye assembly
 was oriented such that the water flow path did not directly impinge on the end



Page 26 2501950.000 - 2930
 Return to Agenda




 cap, as shown in Figure 22. In contrast, the water flow path at Sculpture Park and
 the water loss event location (the intersection of East Prairie Road and Emerson
 Street) directly impinged on the end cap, as shown in Figure 24 and Figure 3,
 respectively.
 3. Different thrust blocking. The wye assembly at Church Street and East Prairie
 Road had substantial thrust blocking in terms of timber orientation, quantity, and
 size. The timbers also appeared to be in good condition. At Sculpture Park, the
 wye assembly had much less thrust blocking, and the orientation was limited to
 one direction (parallel to the pipe orientation) at the end cap. Additionally, the
 timbers appeared to be waterlogged and generally in a poorer condition than at
 Church Street and East Prairie Road. At the event location (the intersection of
 East Prairie Road and Emerson Street), a single piece of timber was recovered,
 but it appeared to be in relatively good condition (Figure 4). No additional
 information was available to determine the extent and condition of the subject
 wye assembly thrust blocking, or how the recovered timber integrated into the
 field installed thrust blocking arrangement prior to the water loss event.

Detailed Examination of Similar Assemblies
The two wye assemblies excavated at Church Street and East Prairie Road and Sculpture Park
were transported to and stored in the same location as the subject wye assembly and were
inspected on October 9, 2025.

As described the previous section, both assemblies are similar to the subject wye assembly in
geometry. They both are fitted with an end cap, and timber thrust blocking was found with both
assemblies to support their respective end caps, with differences described in the previous
sections. An overview of both wye assemblies is given in Figure 25.

Investigation of the Church Street and East Prairie Road Wye Assembly
The Church Street and East Prairie Road wye assembly features two cut piping sections at the
west and northeast ends, and an end cap fitted to the east end. The timber used as thrust blocking
around the assembly was found to be generally similar in geometry to the one found alongside
the subject wye assembly.

Installation Date of the Church Street and East Prairie Road Wye Assembly

Similar to the subject wye assembly, a manufacturing stamp was found on the piping section
fitted to the northeast end of the wye junction, as shown in Figure 26. The stamp read “ACIPCO
1954,” which again most likely refers to the American Cast Iron Piping Company. No
manufacturing stamp was found on the wye junction itself. On that basis, Exponent estimates
that the Church Street and East Prairie Road wye assembly was installed in or around 1954. This
is consistent with the location of the wye assembly as part of the 1954 Skokie Main Water
Feeder Project, as described in Figure 7 and Figure 9.

Condition of the End Cap of the Church Street and East Prairie Road Wye
Assembly

The end cap of the Church Street and East Prairie Road wye assembly is fitted to the east end of
the wye junction. After removal of the soil on its surface, the seal between the end cap and the
wye junction was observed to be in good condition and flush with the east end of the wye
junction, as shown in Figure 27. XRF analysis of the area confirms that the material observed is
the lead that forms part of the lead and oakum seal, which is illustrated in Figure 28.

Investigation of the Sculpture Park Wye Assembly
The Sculpture Park wye assembly features two cut piping sections at the west and northeast ends,
and an end cap fitted to the southwest end. The timber used as thrust blocking around the
assembly was found to be generally similar in geometry to the one found alongside the subject
wye assembly.

Installation Date of the Sculpture Park Wye Assembly

Similar to what was found on the subject wye assembly, a manufacturing stamp was found on
the piping section fitted to the northeast end of the wye junction, as shown in Figure 29. The
stamp read “ACIPCO 1956,” which most likely refers to the American Cast Iron Piping
Company. No manufacturing stamp was found on the wye junction itself. On this basis,
Exponent estimates that the Sculpture Park wye assembly was installed in or around 1956. This
is consistent with the location of the wye assembly as part of the 1956 McCormick to Evanston
Supply Project as described in Figure 8 and Figure 9.

 end.49 It reads “ACIPCO 1956.”


Condition of the End Cap of the Sculpture Park Wye Assembly

Unlike the Church Street and East Prairie Road wye assembly, the end cap of the Sculpture Park
wye assembly features a flat, concave surface. As illustrated in Figure 30, a manufacturing stamp
on the end cap reads “NODULAR ACIPCO” and a year which may be “1956” with an additional
marking that appears to read “86-D” but cannot be identified clearly. “Nodular” most likely
refers to nodular iron, another name for ductile iron. Exponent concludes on that basis that the
end cap is made of ductile iron.

 the stamp identified the end cap as most likely being made of nodular iron.

Notably, the material joining the end cap to the wye junction end was found to extend past the
vertical surface of the wye junction by approximately 1 inch, as shown in Figure 31. As
illustrated in Figure 32, the investigated material was confirmed by XRF analysis to be lead and
therefore part of the lead and oakum seal.

 assembly (a)55 and photograph of the XRF analyzer screen (b),56
 confirming that the seal is made out of lead.

To confirm whether the lead and oakum seal was displaced from its original position or simply
extending further than the vertical surface of the wye junction end, the inner surface of the wye
assembly (where the end cap meets the inner rim of the wye junction on the water contact side)
was inspected. In this location, a gap was observed between the end cap and the inner rim of the
wye junction end, as illustrated by Figure 33. Based on Exponent’s measurements, the gap
measured between the end cap and the wye junction at the inside surface of the wye assembly
corresponds to the extended length of lead seal observed on the outer surface. From these
observations, Exponent concludes that the lead and oakum seal and end cap have shifted outward
by approximately 1 inch over time. This shifting is consistent with the deterioration of the end
cap and seal junction of the wye assembly, which could result separation as hypothesized for the
subject wye assembly.

 the wye junction end (a)57 and measurement of the gap (b).58 The gap at the
 inner surface corresponds to the extension of the lead seal seen at the outer
 surface.

Upon observation of the shift in the lead and oakum seal of the Sculpture Park wye assembly,
Exponent further investigated the remnants of the seal of the subject wye assembly to determine
whether a similar shift may have occurred as a precursor to the water loss event. The end cap
portion of the wye assembly features a groove near the edge. When the lead and oakum seal is
poured into the assembly, it is expected to mold to the shape the groove. Since lead is malleable
comparatively to the wye material, it would continue to mold to that shape as it shifts away from
its original position. In other words, the wye junction end has a groove, and once the lead and
oakum seal is removed from the wye assembly, the corresponding seal features a raised lip that
corresponds to this groove. The position of the raised lip on the seal indicates how it was seated
in the wye before its removal.

As illustrated in Figure 34, the subject wye assembly shows a distinct groove on the wye
junction end, but differences were noted on the corresponding locations of the lead and oakum
seal. The groove in the wye junction end is located approximately 15 mm (5/8 inch) from the
edge. The corresponding lip observed on the lead and oakum seal is located approximately 30
mm (1-3/16 inch) from its edge. This corresponds to a total shift of approximately 15 mm (5/8

inch). Further, the section of the lead and oakum seal closest to its edge also features a different
surface texture that may be indicative of a local deformation of the seal as it shifted away from
its well-seated position in the subject wye assembly. These features are potentially consistent
with features that would be observed on a seal that shifted from its originally installed location
(e.g., the as-found condition of the Sculpture Park wye assembly) prior to full separation of the
end cap from the wye assembly. Further investigation (removal of the end cap from both the
Sculpture Park and Church Street and East Prairie Road wye assemblies) could provide
additional insight into interpreting the observed patterns and features on the remnants of the
subject wye assembly’s lead and oakum seal.

Deposits Found in Similar Wye Assemblies
Similar to the subject wye assembly, deposits of various morphologies and colors were observed
in both wye assemblies excavated in July 2025 and could not be comprehensively identified
visually at the time of inspection. Samples of these deposits were collected during the inspection
for further investigation, as discussed in the Lab Analysis of Deposit Samples section.

Comparison of All Three Wye Assemblies
The key characteristics of the three wye assemblies are summarized in Table 1. Overall, several
common elements can be identified between the subject wye assembly and the wye assembly
located at Sculpture Park:

 • Both featured an end cap oriented in the direction of water flow.
 • Both featured fewer pieces of timber for thrust blocking than the Church Street
 and East Prairie Road wye assembly.
 • Integrity issues were identified with the end cap seal in both assemblies (missing
 in the case of the subject wye assembly, partially unseated for the Sculpture Park
 wye assembly).
 • Both were likely installed in or around 1956.

Lab Analysis of Deposit Samples
As discussed in the previous sections, several samples of deposits found in all three wye
assemblies were collected for further laboratory analysis to determine their composition and
whether the nature of the deposits could give further information regarding the water loss event
of the subject wye assembly. In total, four samples were selected for analysis, as described in
Table 2.

Raman spectroscopy outputs a series of curves called spectra that feature peaks corresponding to
a specific structure and composition.

The results for all four samples are summarized in Figure 35. All the samples show relatively
similar peaks in their spectra, which correspond to the presence of iron oxide (Fe2O3) as well as
iron hydroxide (FeO(OH)) at different ratios. Both compositions are expected in the context of
iron in contact with water and oxygen as a result of the rusting process. Only one measurement
of sample 0426990 (taken from the subject wye assembly in the water path) resulted in
significant additional peaks, which were identified as sulfur. Since other measurements of the
same sample did not show the same peaks, it is possible the presence of sulfur was related to the
specific sampling location being relatively high in sulfur, or other environmental factors, such as
contamination of the sample during excavation and collection.

In conclusion, the testing of the deposits confirmed their composition was consistent with rust,
and they are not expected to have significantly contributed to the water loss event.

Key Findings of Investigation and Considerations for
Village of Skokie

Exponent conducted an investigation regarding the water loss event that occurred on February
14, 2025, near the intersection of East Prairie Road and Emerson Street in Skokie, Illinois. Key
findings of the investigation included:

 • The leak occurred due to separation of an end cap from a wye assembly in a 36-
 inch diameter water distribution main. While the wye assembly was retained, the
 end cap that separated was not located during search and recovery efforts.
 • The leak occurred on an interconnection water distribution line that connected a
 1954 Water Main Feeder Project in Skokie with a 1956 Water Supply Project in
 Evanston. Historical construction documentation for the interconnection water
 distribution line connecting these two projects could not be located.
 • At the time of original installation, the end cap of the wye assembly would have
 been installed into the wye junction using a lead and oakum seal. The sealed end
 cap would have then been braced with thrust blocking in the field after
 installation.
 • Subject wye assembly
 o Markings on the subject wye assembly indicate its piping was
 manufactured in 1956.
 o Corrosion deposits were noted throughout the interior of the subject wye
 assembly, including in the sealing region where the subject lead and
 oakum seal would have been originally installed.
 o The subject end cap was installed in the direction of water flow, meaning
 it would have been subject to the momentum and force induced by water
 flowing perpendicular to the end cap.
 • Two additional exemplar wye assemblies were excavated for replacement and
 condition assessment.
 o Sculpture Park wye assembly
 ▪ The wye assembly at Sculpture Park bore markings indicating its
 piping was manufactured in 1956 (same as the subject wye
 assembly piping).
 ▪ The end cap of the Sculpture Park wye assembly was also installed
 in the direction of flow (similar to the subject wye assembly end
 cap).
 ▪ The Sculpture Park end cap appeared dislodged outward by
 approximately one inch, with a corresponding internal gap of
 similar thickness.
 ▪ Corrosion deposits were noted throughout the internal surfaces.



Page 43 2501950.000 - 2930
 Return to Agenda




 ▪
 Thrust blocking observed in the field during excavation was
 present, but not as extensive or robust as the blocking observed for
 the wye assembly at Church Street and East Prairie Road.
 o Church Street and East Prairie Road wye assembly
 ▪ The wye assembly at Church Street and East Prairie Road bore
 markings indicating its piping was manufactured in 1954.
 ▪ Its end cap appeared well-seated within the assembly.
 ▪ Corrosive deposits were noted throughout the internal surfaces.
 ▪ Thrust blocking observed in the field during excavation was more
 extensive and robust compared to the Sculpture Park wye
 assembly.
 • Based on the investigation performed to date and the available evidence, the most
 likely mechanism for the separation of the end cap on the subject assembly is
 gradual deterioration of the end cap and lead and oakum seal over time in
 combination with inadequate thrust blocking. The end cap gradually displaced
 outward due to the internal forces from water flow and eventually overcame the
 restraining force of the thrust blocking, resulting in separation and loss of
 containment. Inadequate thrust blocking is likely a primary cause of the end cap
 separation.


The following section includes information for the Village of Skokie to consider as it continues
to manage its water distribution system. Several resources are also available discussing
challenges and strategies for buried infrastructure. 63,64

 • Consider reviewing and modifying existing infrastructure management plans as
 necessary. Exponent understands that Public Works has a Capital Improvements
 Plan with a 5- to 7-year outlook for various infrastructures (water, sewer, roads,
 etc.) and is developing a Request for Quotes to perform assessments for their 20-
 inch and larger diameter water transmission lines. These assessments will help
 inform and prioritize repair and replacement decisions within the system.
 o While the water transmission system is approaching 75 years in age, it is
 important to note that deterioration is not simply a function of material
 age. Rather, degradation through aging is a cumulative effect influenced
 by various mechanisms and forces acting on a component.
 • Consider refining and modifying the existing leak response plan to ensure it
 identifies key points of isolation on the system, such that if a leak occurs, it can be
 addressed and remediated efficiently to mitigate the impact of the leak.

 Return to Agenda




 • Consider conducting outreach (to the extent possible) to original equipment
 manufacturers, suppliers, and other water distribution system operators to inquire
 about guidance for managing aging infrastructure. The piping and end cap
 manufacturer (ACIPCO) has contact information on their website, but many of
 the original contractors and suppliers may no longer be in business.
 • Consider performing destructive removal of the end caps on the two exemplar
 wye assemblies. Destructive testing was deemed unnecessary at the time of this
 report to provide the conclusions discussed herein and should be coordinated as
 appropriate with respect to potential spoliation claims. Additional insight may be
 gained by assessing the condition of the internal sealing surface of the end
 cap/wye junction to determine whether corrosion deposits are deteriorating the
 seal, or whether the metal sealing surfaces are relatively free of corrosion.
 • Consider assessing the historical construction documentation available on the
 water distribution system and addressing any identified gaps. Gaps may be
 addressed through prioritization of replacement within a long-term infrastructure
 management plan, or by further investigation for contemporaneous construction
 documentation to assess uncertainty regarding design and installation details.
 • Consider conducting a condition assessment for the water transmission system
 with prioritization of large diameter assets to identify potential vulnerability or
 similar wye assembly locations. Public Works has excavated the remaining wye
 assemblies on the interconnection transmission line, and to the best of their
 knowledge, there are no additional capped wye assemblies of similar construction.
 o This investigation focused on the interconnection system between the
 1956 Evanston and 1954 Skokie projects. Consider conducting further
 assessment into the distribution systems in both Evanston and Skokie.
 • Consider formal outreach and notification to Evanston officials detailing the
 observations regarding the 1956 Sculpture Park wye assembly. Additionally,
 consider inquiring with Evanston regarding condition of water mains that are
 referenced as scheduled for replacement in historical water quality reports.

SUBJECT: Review of Next Steps in Aftermath of Water Main Failure (Agenda
 Item)

In the immediate aftermath of the February 14 , 2025 36" water transmission main
failure near East Prairie Road and Emerson Street, the Village identified and
communicated a number of next steps that it would take for investigation of the failure
analysis and to mitigate future occurrences. There steps are summarized below.


 • Continue restoration of damage to the streets in the repair zone (Completed)
 • Work with insurance companies for the residents and businesses the experienced
 damages. (Completed)
 • Initiate a comprehensive failure analysis (Completed and to be presented to the
 Village Board on November 17, 2025)
 • Review records including as-builts of other similar components. (Completed)
 • Determine any mitigation measures necessary to prevent this from occurring in
 the future. (Completed and mitigation measures completed as to the direct
 comparison fittings)
 • Conduct a thorough post-incident analysis of the emergency response to capture
 lessons learned. (Completed).


To add to the above summary, a review of Village water records indicated that there were
two other locations in the Village's water transmission system that used "wye" fittings
similar to the one that failed in the above incident. Both locations were excavated and
investigated as part of the failure analysis, and both fittings were removed from the
system and replaced with new elbow and concrete thrust restraints.


Next steps for the Village in regard to the integrity of the water system will be the release
of a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for engineering and technical services to undertake
a condition assessment focused on the Village's transmission main system, composed of
its pipe assets 20" in size and greater. The Village will be seeking services to utilize the
best and most appropriate technology available to review the condition of these pipes and
use this information as the basis for risk assessment and rehabilitation decision making.
This RFQ is under development now and will be released in the next two weeks.


Please let me know if there is any additional information that you need.

SUBJECT: MANAGER'S REPORT
 BOARD MEETING OF MONDAY, NOVEMBER 17,2025

  A. 2025 Property Tax Levy and Abatement.
 The attached 2025 Tax Levy and Tax Levy Abatement are for first reading by the
 Village Board and will be on the Monday, December 1, 2025 agenda for second
 reading and adoption.

 In order to sustain Village services a property tax levy of $16,206,345 is required.
 This $750,000 increase results in an average monthly impact of $1.78 for
 residences, $4.80 for commercial, and $11.45 for industrial.

 The Village strives to provide high quality services in a fiscally responsible manner.
 The Village collected the same levy of property taxes annually for 35 years. This
 was the result of turning a five-year pledge into a 35-year frozen levy. If the Village
 were to have only maintained the same buying power, the levy would have
 increased from $15.4 million to $32.3 million. It is also noteworthy that the value of
 property in Skokie during the same time increased from $1.1 billion to $3.2 billion.

 The Village makes up 5.41% of the average property tax bill. This is the lowest
 among comparable communities. While the Village remains committed to
 achieving efficiencies and cost savings, it cannot maintain current service levels
 with 39 positions frozen across all departments.

 The Village's Finance Director, Julian Prendi, will make a presentation regarding
 this proposed levy.

 I concur with staff's recommendation and respectfully request the Board authorize
 Corporation Counsel to draft the tax levy ordinance.

* B. Main Street Commercial Corridor Streetscape Improvements Desicin,
 Enqineering and Construction Documents, MKSK Inc.
 In August of 2023, the Village awarded a contract to MKSK Inc. to conduct a study
 of the Main Street Commercial Corridor between Crawford and Kildare Avenues
 and make recommendations for improvements. After completion of the study, the
 Village engaged MKSK to prepare schematic designs for one of the key capital

 Return to Agenda




 improvement projects envisioned in the study. The completed schematic design
 includes hard scape materials, space for gateway/art elements, planters/planting
 typologies, seating concepts, lighting styling, pedestrian ways, curb extensions and
 crosswalks. Staff recommends a contract for design development and production
 of construction documents be awarded to MKSK Inc. in the amount of $103,500.
 The project cost includes civil engineering services provided by subcontractor
 David Mason Associates in the amount of $39,000. Funding for the project design
 will come from the DCEO Main Street Grant. The design schedule anticipates
 100% construction documents completed by February, with an anticipated
 construction start date of April 2026. I concur with staff's recommendation and
 respectfully request Board approval.

* C. Bulk Rock Salt Purchase ~ Morton Salt, Inc.. Chica^oJHinois - $214,950,
 Pricing for the purchase of 3,000 tons of bulk rock sail was obtained through the
 State of illinois Joint Purchasing Program. The baseline specified quantity of 3,000
 tons is based on historical usage as well as on the amount of sail on hand from
 last winter. The State of iiiinois' lowest responsive and responsible bidder was
 Morton Salt, with a price per ton of $71.65. The Village continues its efforts to
 reduce salt usage through both pre-treatment with liquids and investments in
 routing technologies to minimize chioride applications, which has allowed us to
 reduce tonnages purchased as weli. Funding for the purchase of bulk rock salt is
 provided in the Motor Fuel Tax (MFT) fund. I concur with staff's recommendation
 and respectfully request Board approval of a contract in the amount of $214.950, to
 be awarded to Morton Sail, Inc.

* D. BS&A ERP Software Maintenance Contract Renewal - BS&A Systems,
 Bath, Michigan - $78,043.
 In FY2017, the Village of Skokie contracted with BS&A Systems for the licensing
 and use of their Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software system. The Village
 utilizes this software across the organization. An integral component to the
 successful operation of the BS&A software is the support and maintenance
 agreement, which provides for support and heip desk services, as wei! as free
 upgrades and fixes of any of the modules owned by the Village, i concur with
 staff's recommendation to enter into a contract with BS&A Systems in the amount
 of $78,043 to continue the support and maintenance of the ERP software. Board
 approval is respectfully requested.

* E. Emergency Transmission Replacement - Interstate Power Systems, Carol
 Stream, Illinois - $25,909.52.
 Public Works staff sent refuse truck PW172 to Interstate Power Systems for
 transmission failure repairs and it was determined the transmission was beyond
 repair. Public Works is currently down two refuse trucks which necessitated the
 emergency repair. Two new refuse trucks were scheduled to be delivered in
 September, but are currently delayed in the build process. As such, Vfliage staff
 enacted the Emergency Purchases Provision for the purchase of a new Allision
 Transmission in the total amount of $25,909.52. The price inciudes removal,
 installation and new transmission cooling system. Per Section 2-101 8 of the Skokie
 Viliage Code, the Village Board is advised of this emergency procurement.

 2025 Tax Levy & Abatement

In preparation for the 2025 Tax Levy I have prepared the following analysis and
recommendation. In short, over the past 35 years of levy freeze, both inflation and property
values have increased drastically. Costs to provide Village services have also increased at pace
or faster than inflation, despite consistent cost containment efforts including amending contracts
where possible, seeking joint purchasing agreements and ventures, eliminating or postponing
non-critical capital replacements, re-organizing service delivery, and more. Making matters
worse, economic downturns caused by the great recession and the COVLD pandemic have
required even more drastic measures, like the implementation of a hiring freeze in 2010, which
still impacts 39 positions across departments. In order to maintain the level of service that our
community has come to expect, it has become critical to roll back the hiring freeze and restore
some positions. Revenue growth has not kept up with expenditures, and options for revenue for
FY27 and beyond are limited given the projected staffing needs and resulting deficits in the
coming years. For these reasons as further detailed below, a review of the property tax freeze
policy is now necessary.


Background and Recommendation
As background, in 1991 the Village Board committed to freezing the property tax levy at the
1990 level for five years, through tax year 1995. After 1995 it was determined that the Village's
finances could sustain the freeze longer than the original five-year commitment. The freeze
continued through the most recent and 35l consecutive tax levy, approved in December of 2024.
The amount levied by the Village has been the same since 1990 at $15,456,695. In 1990 the
value of all Skokie taxable property was $1.1 billion, while 16.1% of the average tax bill went to
Village operations. In tax year 2023 (the most recent valuation) taxable property had increased
by 204% to $3.2 billion, while the share of the average bill funding Village services had dropped
to 5.41%, the lowest among area comparable communities. The increase in EAV has come in
part because of the Village's consistent efforts to bring economic development to our town. It
has meant more homes, stores, industrial development, etc. along with new and increased costs
to Village operations. Perhaps the best example would be the addition of the Optima Towers in
the early 2000s. At the time the three towers were estimated to cost $250 million and add 700
housing units. Refuse and recycling alone were estimated to cost over $60,000 in new costs at
the time; Woods Drive was re-constmcted in part through a developer contribution, with the on-
going maintenance becoming the responsibility of the Village. In addition, in the years since
Optima's opening our Fire department has needed to upgrade their equipment (i.e. purchasing
more expensive tower ladder apparatus) and training in order to maintain the highest level of
service to residents of the new high-rise condominiums.
 Return to Mgr Rpt




These increased costs are compounded by the decline in buying power through time; costs to
provide municipal services are subject to inflation much like all other costs across the board.
Since 1990 costs have increased due to inflation alone by 109%, or 2.2% on average annually.
Costs of operations like payroll, contracts, supplies, equipment, etc. are no exception. Put
differently, to get the same value and buying power from the Village's property tax collections as
in 1990, the 2025 tax levy would have to be $32,336,680.

The impact of inflation on the Village's revenue base, on the other hand, has been inconsistent
and unreliable. As an example, the Municipal Utility tax, implemented in 2010 to address
pension funding needs, has remained flat, most recently producing $5.4 million, about the same
as when implemented; annual public safety pension funding meanwhile exceeds $15 million.
Sales taxes, our largest single source of revenue, went through significant stagnation leading up
to the COVLD pandemic and only in the last three fiscal years have recovered sufficiently to
produce inflation" like growth year-over-year (i.e. average of 2%).


Based on historical inflation data and our own experience from both expenditures and revenues,
we can reasonably project service costs and available revenues into the near and mid-term future.
This exercise, a long-range financial planning tool, has been a part of our budgeting process for
many years, and through it we have identified, time and time again, a structural deficit in our
funding model ~ that is, our annual expenditure growth exceeds the growth in revenue. Over the
past several years the issue has been discussed at budget hearings and the annual impact of this
stinctural imbalance has always been addressed first through cost cutting measures, and then
with new or enhanced revenues. During the FY26 budget hearings we discussed the most recent
long-range projections, where staff concluded that in the absence ofnew/added revenue,
maintaining current service levels produces annual deficits as early as FY28, with reserves
entirely depleted by FY33. Restoring as little as three positions from the 39 currently frozen
accelerates deficit spending starting in FY27 with reserves depleted even sooner. The annual
deficits are only exacerbated when considering new or enhanced services like an additional
ambulance or more infrastructure investments. And as discussed more recently during the
strategic planning session, there are almost no significant revenue options that would
meaningfully fund future needs.


The structural imbalance between revenue and expenditure growth requires a long-term solution
within the Board's and management's control as opposed to relying on the broader economy to
continue to grow, especially in the current global trade and tariff environment. Based on these
factors, staff recommends increasing the property tax levy to provide critical funding to, at
minimum, maintain service levels and address future years' projected deficits.


2025 Tax Levy
The 2025 tax levy, although adopted in December 2025, will not be collected in full until the end
of calendar 2026. In other words, due to the lag inherent in the system the 2025 tax levy actually
funds fiscal year 2027. Although we're in the early stages of preparing the FY27 budget, staff is
already aware of increased costs to be absorbed. Currently three firefighter positions, originally
funded through a federal SAFER grant, will lose grant funding at the end ofFY26 and thus
require additional revenue. As previously mentioned, the hiring freeze in effect since the
recession is beginning to impact service levels and as such will require strategic and selective
restoration of some positions (specifics to be determined during the budget discussions with
departments). The estimated additional revenue needed is $750,000, beyond any anticipated
 Return to Mgr Rpt




growth in existing revenue sources. Staff is therefore recommending an increase in the tax levy
to cover these upcoming increases.


Based on this recommendation, the proposed 2025 tax levy is $16,206,345, inclusive of required
amounts to fund operations, pensions, and debt service. The increase from the prior year is
$749,649.71, and it is based on prior 10-year average growth in EAV, which is 4.85%. In
reviewing and comparing with area communities, the majority increased their levy from the prior
year by an average of 4.94%. The impact of this increase is projected to be minimal when spread
across the over 26,000 properties in the Village. The average residence is projected to pay an
additional $21.34 for the year, or $1.78 per month; commercial and industrial properties are
projected at $57.56 and $137.35 annual increases respectively.


2025 Tax Abatement
The Village has five outstanding debt issues, specifically the 2013A Series, 2016A Series,
2018A Series, 2019A Series, and 2022 A and B Series. For each debt issue the Village has filed
ordinances with Cook County, directing the County to collect an amount sufficient to cover the
annual interest and principal for each series. A total of $17,611,876.36 is authorized by the bond
ordinances for the 2025 tax year (including Library debt). In order to not exceed the total
property tax levy recommended, it is necessary to abate $5,099,318.96.


Board review of the proposed levy and abatements is respectfully requested. The levy and
abatement ordinances will be brought at the December 1 meeting for second reading and
adoption.

SUBJECT: AGENDA ITEM - November 17,2025 Board Meeting
 Main Street Commercial Corridor Streetscape Improvements



Background:
In August of 2023, the Village awarded a contract to MKSK Inc. to conduct a study of the Main
Street Commercial Corridor between Crawford and Kildare Avenues and make recommendations
for improvements. The Main Street Commercial Corridor is an important east/west thoroughfare
in the Village, and the businesses there have historically been neighborhood serving with a few
destination retailers. Over the years the Corridor has experienced steady declines in property
values, increased vacancies, and overall deterioration and physical obsolescence. The intent of
the study was to develop a set of land use, urban design, public realm, and policy
recommendations for improvements in the area.


MKSK conducted the Main Street corridor plan in three phases over five months. The project
included a discovery phase where the project team engaged the Village, advisory committee, and
selected stakeholders. Phase two included corridor improvement and critical site development
concepts and creation of a draft plan document. Phase three synthesized the goals, strategies and
plan concepts allowing the Village to select preferred design concepts and refine them based on
stakeholder input. The final document created is a concise action plan with short and long-term
recommendations.


After completion of the Main Street Commercial Corridor Study, the Village engaged MKSK to
prepare schematic designs for one of the key capital improvement projects envisioned in the
study. Schematic designs were prepared for the thirty-foot deep plaza/sidewalk located along the
south side of Main Street between Karlov Avenue and Keystone Avenue and also for the thirty-
foot deep plaza/sidewalk along the north side of Main Street between Keystone Avenue and
Crawford Avenue. The plaza along the south side is the block in which the Village acquired the

#636455 1
 Return to Mgr Rpt




Storefront (4051 Main) and has been the location of Meet-up on Main and the Main Street winter
market. The plaza along the north side of Main Street is the block which is home to the new
Soul Good Coffee and soon Zelda's Table and Gelati Biscotti. The completed schematic design
includes hard scape materials, space for gateway/art elements planters/pl anting typologies,
seating concepts, lighting styling, pedestrian ways, curb extensions, and crosswalks. The Village
is now seeking to go forward with implementation and construction of the improvements
identified in the MKSK schematic design.

Recommendation:
It is recommended that a contract for design development and production of construction
documents be awarded to M1CSK Inc. in the amount of $103,500. The project cost includes civil
engineering services provided by subcontractor David Mason Associates in the amount of
$39,000. Funding for the project design will come from the DCRO Main Street Grant which was
awarded to the Village specifically to fund Main Street improvements as are envisioned in the
final schematic design.



Comments:
The deliverables from this contract will include final design, construction documents and bid
documents for the project as well as an opinion of probably project cost. The construction

 SUBJECT: BULK ROCK SALT PURCHASE (Agenda Item)

 Pricing for Bulk Rock Salt was obtained through flie State of Illinois Joint Purchasing Program.
 Central Management Services (CMS), the state's purchasing authority, competitively bids for goods
 and seivices on behalf of government entities m the State of Illinois and allows such governments to
 benefit from the economies of scale in purcliases while satisfymg fomial bidding requirements.

Account and BudgetAmount: 003-3303-403.03-30 $803,610 ($216,000 Snow and
tee Control)

TABULATION
Morton Salt, Inc., Chicago, IL $71,65/ton X 3,000 tons Total = $214,950

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommeuded that a contract for the purchase of three thousand (3,000) tons of bulk rock salt
be awarded to the State of Illinois' low responsive and responsible bidder, Morton Salt, Inc.,
Chicago, JL, in the amount of $214,950. The Village is familiar with Morton Salt, as we have
utilized them as our salt supplier in the past and have experienced no issues with their services.

COMMENTS
Fundiug for this expenditure is budgeted from the Motor Fuel Tax account which is reimbursed by
the State of Illinois Motor Fuel Tax for general roadway maintenance. The baseline quantity
specified of 3,000 tons is based on historical usage, as well as on the amount of salt on hand from
last winter. Last year's winter left a good supply level on hand to begin -winter mauitenance
operations this year. The Village's contract is struchjred such that we are requu-ed to purchase 80%
of our base tonnage (80% of 3,000 tons, or 2,400 tons), and we can purchase up to 120% of our
base tonnage (120% of 3,000 tons, or 3,600 tons). This quantify, plus our supply on hand, should be
sufficient for our operations this whiter.

As a point of reference, salt prices are slightly higher (2.01%) tliis year than last. TIie Village
coutinues its efforts to reduce salt usage through both pre-treatment with liquids and investments in
routing technologies and computer controls to optimize and minimize chlonde applications.

SUBJECT: BS&A ERP Software Maintenance Contract
 Agenda Item - November 17, 2025 Board Meeting



Background
In Fiscal Year 2017, the Village contracted with BS&A Systems for the licensing and use of their
ERP System. This system includes modules for General Ledger, Accounts Payable, Purchasing,
Miscellaneous Receivables, Cash Receipts, Fixed Assets, Building and Planning, Human
Resources, Time Sheets, Payroll, Utility Billing, Business Licensing, Animal Licensing, Citizen
Request, and Work Orders.


The software maintenance contract for these various modules ofBS&A's software is up for
renewal. In that regard, it is necessary to renew the contract to provide for uninterrupted support
of the BS&A software applications used by the Village.

Budget & Account: $200,000.00 020-6000-403.03-20-OV31005

Recommendation:
It is recommended that a contract be awarded to BS&A, Bath Michigan, for support and
maintenance ofBS&A ERP software, in the amount of $78,043.00.
This amount reflects a prorated allocation associated with the scheduled transition to the BS&A
Cloud platform in March 2026.

Comments:
BS&A provides the Village with computer software used across the organization. An integral
component to the successful operation of the BS&A software is the support and maintenance
agreement, which provides for support and help desk services, as well as free upgrades and
"fixes" of any of the modules owned by the Village. Since all the software is provided and
maintained by BS&A, this contract is a sole source procurement.

Presentations and Reports
Presentation of the Investigation Report for the February 2025 Skokie Water Loss Event by Dr.
Sean Dee, Principal Engineer of Exponent.
Dr. Sean Dee from Exponent presented findings from the investigation into the water loss event
that occurred February 14, 2025. The leak source was identified as a 36-inch diameter Y
assembly missing its end cap at the intersection of East Prairie Road and Emerson Street.
Key findings from the investigation included:
  The Y assembly dated from 1956 based on markings
  The failure was likely due to gradual deterioration driven by inadequate thrust blocking
  Two other Y assemblies on the same transmission line were excavated and replaced
  The Sculpture Park assembly showed similar displacement and inadequate thrust
 blocking, suggesting it was progressing toward eventual failure
  The Church Street and East Prairie Road assembly, dating from 1954, was in good
 condition with robust thrust blocking
Max Slankard, Public Works Director, discussed lessons learned and next steps. The village will
issue an RFQ for assessment of transmission main infrastructure focusing on pipes 20 inches and
larger. Key lessons learned included improving emergency operations tiering, enhancing
communication protocols, addressing telephone system capacity (new system coming in 2026),
and establishing MOUs for staging and distribution sites. Director Slankard noted Evanston will
now curtail water supply in similar future events and discussions are underway for emergency
water interconnection agreements.
Trustee questions focused on the missing end cap's whereabouts (likely displaced by water flow),
life expectancy of remaining 1950s assemblies (80-100 years for pipe but joint/fitting issues are
the vulnerability), whether new development growth was considered (it wasn't but would reduce
per-property impact), and clarification about roles during emergencies (EOC typically led by
public safety chiefs but this was public works-driven).

Report of the Village Manager
2025 Tax Levy and Abatement.
Village Manager John Lockerby introduced Finance Director Julian Prendi to present the 2025
property tax levy proposal. To sustain village services, a property tax levy of $16,206,345 is
required - a $750,000 increase resulting in average monthly impacts of $1.78 for residences,
$4.78 for commercial buildings, and $11.45 for industrial structures.
Manager Lockerby provided context that the village collected the same property tax levy for 35
years, turning a 5-year pledge into a 35-year frozen levy. If the village had maintained the same
buying power, the levy would have increased from $15.4 million to $32.3 million. Property
values in Skokie increased from $1.1 billion to $3.2 billion during those 35 years. The village
portion of property tax bills is 5.41% - the lowest among comparable communities. The village
cannot maintain current service levels with 39 positions frozen across all departments.
Finance Director Prendi explained the property tax process involving taxing bodies, county
departments and the Illinois Department of Revenue. He highlighted relief measures including
assessment appeals (open through December 5th) and exemptions. Nearly 30% of Niles
Township homeowners don't take advantage of the homeowner exemption, with a 4-year
lookback available. The senior exemption is available at age 65, also with 4-year lookback
provisions.
The village's tax base (EAV) increased 210% since 1990, averaging 3.74% annually. The
breakdown is approximately 40% commercial/industrial and 60% residential across 26,000
properties. Despite maintaining the frozen levy for 35 years through strict expense controls and
alternative revenue sources, sustainability challenges have developed.
Cost-saving measures included the 39-position hiring freeze saving $3.2 million annually (10%
of workforce), increasing employee health insurance contributions, merging departments, issuing
pension obligation bonds saving $800,000 annually, partnering with Lincolnwood for joint
dispatch, and consolidating supervisory positions. Revenue measures included implementing
utility taxes when the state captured 50% of income tax allocations, and maintaining some of the
lowest service charges - $9.25/month refuse fee, $40 vehicle stickers, and among the lowest
water rates.
The village relies heavily on economically sensitive revenue sources (73%), with sales tax
comprising 23% of revenue. Nearly $8 million in sales tax comes from non-Skokie visitors at
Old Orchard Mall (90% from outside zip codes). However, sales taxes haven't kept pace with
inflation and were declining 2% annually before 2020.
Looking ahead to fiscal 2027, unfunded expenditures include the structural deficit where
expenditure growth outpaces revenue growth, requiring selective easing of the hiring freeze
($350,000), and three SAFER grant firefighter positions expiring April 2026 ($410,000).
The proposed increase would result in annual residential impact of $21.34 ($1.78/month),
commercial $57.36, and industrial $137.40. Of the levy, 92% funds debt service and pensions
with only 8% for operations. Due to debt service ordinances directing collection of $17.6
million, the board must abate $5.1 million to achieve the $16.2 million levy. The library, as a
separate taxing body, requested a 4% increase to $14,294,265.
Trustee questions explored how many frozen positions would be unfilled (estimated 3 plus the 3
firefighters), population growth impacts (increased EAV would reduce per-property impact), and
the progressive nature of property taxes versus regressive flat fees. Multiple trustees
acknowledged the difficult but necessary decision, recognizing staff dedication under constraints
and that services require funding.
Public comments:
Lauren Grodnicki supporting the increase while suggesting looking at rental property rates and
variable trash bin pricing. Asked for clear messaging about what the levy is versus individual tax
increases.
David Dalka said the increase is avoidable through better commercial development and vacant
parcels needing development plans. Asked for recruiting medical facilities to create competition
and provide services.
Ademilola Kayode, a business owner, briefly asked about public transportation on Main Street
before being redirected to discuss her restaurant case.

Resolution 25-11-R-1610
Resolution Approving and Authorizing the Village of Skokie’s Landmark Statement
Recognizing the Ancestral Homeland of Native Peoples.
Mayor Tennes explained this work was requested by the community, similar to the recent village
seal examination. They enlisted a community committee including indigenous peoples whose
voices guided the process. Ms. Jasmine Gurneau, Director of Native American and Indigenous
Affairs at Northwestern (Oneida Nation citizen and Menominee descendant), worked with Alex
Franz, Assistant to the Village Manager to develop the land acknowledgment.
Rather than reading it at every meeting or installing a plaque in chambers, the native community
preferred establishing the language and creating a native garden in green space outside Village
Hall featuring indigenous plants, with a plaque inscribed with the land acknowledgment.
Mayor Tennes read the land acknowledgment:
Trustee Robinson requested reading the full resolution to honor the people. March 2025,
recognizes November as National Native American Heritage Month, and authorizes planting a
native garden with the acknowledgment statement.
Trustee Schechter suggested considering follow-up, with cultural sensitivity trainings, learning
tribal history, implementing indigenous practices while avoiding appropriation, and supporting
local indigenous community efforts.
A motion to concur with the resolution approving and authorizing the Village of Skokie’s
Landmark Statement Recognizing the Ancestral Homeland of Native Peoples is in order.
