Manager's Office

TO: The Honorable Mayor and
 Board of Trustees
 Village Clerk
 Corporation Counsel

FROM: {k . 1 -{fij^^
 Johh T. Lockerby, Village Manager

DATE: May 29, 2025

SUBJECT: MANAGER'S REPORT
 BOARD MEETING OF WEDNESDAY, JUNE 4,2025
 A. Adoption_ofFY2026 Budget.
 The attached memorandum is a summary of actions and decisions made by the
 Mayor and Board of Trustees during their review of the FY2026 Budget. These
 actions are the result of three public hearings conducted by the Board in May.

 In summary, the FY2026 General Fund Budget, or operating budget, equates to
 $73,859,523. All funds, including Water, Pension, Economic Development, Motor
 Fuel and Local Fuel Tax, Self-lnsurance, General Obligation Bonded Debt, Tax
 Increment Financing, Federal Aid, Performing Arts Center, Convention and
 Visitors Bureau, Special Service Areas, Wireless Alarms and Capital
 Improvement Program total $169,042,279.

 Board approval of the FY2026 Budget is respectfully requested.

 B. Presentation: Village's Residential Rental Unit Standards and the
 Neiqhborhood Inteqritv Proqram.
 Staff will provide a presentation giving a comprehensive overview of the Village's
 Residential Rental Unit Standards and the Neighborhood Integrity Program. This
 program focuses on building strong partnerships among landlords, tenants, and
 the Village staff maintaining Skokie's rental property. The presentation will
 provide an overview of the training the Village provides landlords (Residential
 Rental Property Landlord Seminar) that includes proactive crime prevention
 strategies, effective and responsible property management practices, and the
 importance of compliance with life safety codes.

* C. Approval of Revised Interqovernmentai Agreement with the Public Works
 Mutual Aid Network (IPWMANL
 On June 17, 2024, the Village Board approved an intergovernmental agreement
 to join the Illinois Public Works Mutual Aid Network (IPWMAN), which provides
 mutual aid for public works related emergency response. This is a cost-effective
 approach to strengthen our response to emergencies whether weather related or
 other. The partnership allows us to leverage shared resources in an expedited
 manner during times of need and to reciprocate to our neighboring communities.
 IPWMAN not only coordinates equipment and manpower, but also provides

 Return to Agenda




 leadership support from member agencies that have had similar disasters.
 JPWMAN made minor administrative revisions and governance updates that
 require an updated resolution at this time. I concur with staff's recommendation
 and respectfully request Board approval of a resolution authorizing execution of a
 revised intergovernmental agreement with the Illinois Public Works Mutual Aid
 Network.


* D. Construction Work Associated with Undergroundina of Utilities along the
 Transit-Oriented Corridor of Skokie Boulevard.
 There are multiple Skokie Boulevard properties slated for new construction
 redeveiopment between the blocks of 8047 and 8201 Skokie Boulevard. The
 current iocation of the overhead utilities prevents achieving the transit-oriented
 vision of redeveloping these properties and therefore necessitate undergrounding
 the electric and other utilities such as telephone and cable. A previous agreement
 with ComEd was approved by the Viiiage Board on September 16, 2024 for
 $110,246.26, That price did not include charges for required switchgear
 equipment that is part of the design. ComEd has provided a revised contract

amount of $2,258,558. The revised General Fund total budget is $73,859,523.

WATER FUND
The Water Fund Budget, including water, sewer, flood control operations and Capital
Improvements Program (CIP), as originally submitted was $20,455,513. Approved wage
adjustments require a $162,226 increase. The revised total is $20,617,739.

Approved wage adjustments require a $9,717 increase. The revised total is $2,958,440.

require a $13,401 increase. The revised total is $3,638,112.

SKOKIE PUBLIC LIBRARY
The Library's Board of Trustees approved a total budget for FY2026 of $17,606,332.

II. REVENUES

The final revenue estimates for FY2026 are sufficient to cover operational and capital
expenditures with few exceptions of planned fund balance utilization. General Fund revenues are
estimated at $73,977,919. The FY2026 Budget includes revenue projected from a local grocery
tax which replaces the state-eliminated sales tax on grocery items; both of these changes become
effective on January 1, 2026, and there is no net impact to residents and business.


Water Fund revenues total $20,455,512, of which $247,381 is planned utilization of reserves.
During the budget hearings a water rate increase of 99 cents per 100 cubic feet was proposed
($9.91 increase to minimum bill). Even with the increase, water fund revenues are not sufficient
to cover operational and capital planned expenditures, necessitating the plaimed reserve
utilization. The Village's water rate remains very competitive among area communities even
with the increase.


General revenues allocated to the Capital Improvements Program are estimated at $10,549,543.
In total, revenue estimates for the CIP total $27,693,293, with $17,143,750 committed to capital
projects by other funds like MFT, LFT, EDF, TIF, etc. Funding for public pensions in total is
estimated at $33,714,696, inclusive of employer/employee contributions as well as expected
investment returns. Of this total, the Village's funding toward the actuarily required contribution
(necessary to meet the Village's obligations for Fire, Police, and IMRF pensions) is anticipated
at $6,599,982, significantly reduced from the prior years, thanks to the issuance of Pension
Obligation Bonds in early 2022. This amount also includes strategic utilization of the Pension
Stabilization Fund in order to remain current with the overall unfunded pension liabilities.
Revenue allocated to the repayment of debt, which includes the repayment of the Pension
Obligation Bonds, is allocated at $17,583,089, a slight increase from the prior year. As the
Village also services debt issued by the Skokie Public Library, this amount includes
intergovernmental revenues of $1,202,050.


Revenue estimates for all three of the Village's TIFs is $7,071,522, of which $4,275,075 are
planned transfers to debt and capital. Revenue for self-insurance operations and claims is
estimated at $3,833,555. Revenue estimates from all other remaining funds total $5,620,163.
Included in other funds are revenues earmarked for specific purposes, like federal aid, economic
development, fuel taxes, performing arts, wireless alarms, etc.

Memorandum
Community Development

To: John T. Lockerby, Village Manager

From: Johanna Nyden, AICP, Community Development Director
 Rod Tonelli, AICP, Economic Vitality Manager
 Angel Schnur, Building & Inspection Services Manager

Date: May 27, 2025

Subject: AGENDA ITEM – June 4, 2025
 Request for Construction Work Associated with Undergrounding of Utilities

Recommendation
Staff recommends the Village Board authorize an expenditure of $138,752.64 to Commonwealth
Edison (ComEd) from the Downtown Science and Technology TIF for the undergrounding of
ComEd’s utilities along the north-south alley, east of Skokie Boulevard along the property at
8047 Skokie Boulevard. This is a revised work agreement with ComED that replaces a previous
agreement approved by the Village Board on September 16, 2024. The previously approved
expenditure for the 8047 Skokie Boulevard work was $110,246.26. That price did not include
charges for required switchgear equipment that is part of the design. ComEd has provided the
revised contract which includes this equipment and is reflected in the new price of $138,752.64.

Background
In September 2024, The Village Board approved the expenditure of $210,246.26 to
Commonwealth Edison (ComEd) from the Downtown Science & Technology tax increment
financing (TIF) to support a multi-phase project of undergrounding utilities that serve either side
of the north-south alley, east of Skokie Boulevard in the blocks between 8047 and 8201 Skokie
Boulevard. The current location of the overhead utilities is prohibiting redevelopment and must
be buried for redevelopment of these sites to proceed. The project will be completed in two
geographic parts. The first portion will be along the alley south of Keeney Street along the 8047
Skokie Boulevard property. The 8047 Skokie Boulevard has already been approved by the
Village for redevelopment as a mixed-use building to be constructed by BAS 5 Development
LLC (Gary Levitas). The previously approved expenditure to ComEd for undergrounding its’
line in this location is $110,246.26. In addition to the ComEd work, the Village Board has
previously approved funding for undergrounding the low-voltage utilities in the alley as well.

The second (future) portion of the undergrounding will continue from Keeney Street up to the
north line of the redevelopment property located at the northeast corner of Cleveland and Skokie
Boulevard (8201 Skokie Boulevard). For the second portion, the Village Board has already
approved an expenditure to ComEd as an advanced engineering deposit of $100,000.00. The
actual construction cost of second portion will be provided by ComEd in a future work
agreement once the design engineering has been completed. The ComEd construction cost for
the second portion will be brought for Village Board review and approval at a later date.

 Return to Mgr Rpt




In total, both portions of this project will include the undergrounding of 1,100 feet of utilities, the
removal of 14 utility poles, and 35 new service connections for both residential and commercial
properties. The attached map highlights the extent of the project and the poles that will be
buried.

Summary
This project is precipitated by multiple Skokie Blvd. properties that are slated for new
construction redevelopment. The current location of the overhead utilities prevents us from
achieving the transit-oriented vision of redeveloping these properties, and therefore necessitate
the undergrounding. The redevelopment projects are:
  8047 Skokie Boulevard – Approved for redevelopment of a five-story, 56-unit apartment
 building with 5,837 square feet of commercial space.
  8101 Skokie Boulevard – Approved for redevelopment of a five-story, 20 unit apartment
 building with and 5,275 square feet of commercial space.
  8143 Skokie Boulevard – Village-owned property in the process of identifying a potential
 developer. Conceptual plans have been developed for this site with a five-story, 90-unit
 apartment building with and 1,150 square feet of commercial space.
  8201 Skokie Boulevard – Village-owned property with developer identified and Site Plan
 Approval moving forward in the summer 2025. The conceptual plan for this property
 contains a six-story apartment building with 66 units and a first floor 1,400 square foot
 flex retail/tenant space.

As part of the new construction, and per Village Code Section 22-93(4) 230.1 “New
commercial, industrial and residential structures requiring electrical service shall be served
underground in an approved manner, and shall be suitably protected against physical damage.”
Due to the fact that there are so many redevelopment projects clustered in a single corridor, it is
recommended that this project be done together as a single project to facilitate an economy of
scale and minimize disruption due to this work.

The combined investment of these private projects exceeds $100 million in new development in
the approximately four block section. The existing above-ground utilities are located on the west
side of the alley and interfere with redevelopment of these sites. This also represents an
opportunity to create additional reliability and resiliency of electrical service in this section of
Skokie. Overhead lines can be more easily damaged during extreme weather.

In addition to the ComEd undergrounding, additional phases of the project will include:
  Relocation of the above ground lines for low voltage utilities to be moved into the new
 alley trench. (AT&T, RCN, Xfinity, etc.)
  Boring service lines for utilities to each property along the east side of the alley from the
 alley trench.
  Costs for electrical contractors to connect the utilities to home services.

The Village’s agreement with the developer of 8047 Skokie Boulevard provided that the Village
maintain responsibility for utility relocation. The private property at 8101 Skokie Boulevard will
be responsible for costs associated with burial of utilities once development commences. The
undergrounding costs along 8201 Skokie Boulevard are addressed in the approved development

Boulevard will be addressed as part of the future development agreement for that property.

FROM: ,m_
 Ann Ei Tennes/ Mayor

DATE: May 28, 2025

SUBJECT: June 4, 2025 Board Meeting Discussion - Corporation Counsel Options

At the June 4,2025 Village Board meeting, we will discuss options regarding the search for a permanent
Corporation Counsel. Our discussion will center on these options to provide the Village with the best
possible legal advice in a cost-effective manner:

 • Hiring an in-house Corporation Counsef who is appointed by the Mayor with the consent of the
 Board of Trustees. This has been the Village's practice for many decades, and does involve using
 outside law firms when needed for specialized legal matters. While the Corporation Counsel will
 report directly to the Mayor, there also will be an expectation of timely collaboration with the
 Village Manager as an essential component of the Corporation CounseFs duties.
 • Utilizing a hybrid, or combination system in which an outside, contractual firm woutd be
 retained to serve as the primary Corporation Counsel, with duties customized to the Village's
 ongoing iegal needs. The Village also would continue to utilize in-house attorneys on Village
 staff. The firm would be recommended by the Mayor with the consent of the Board of Trustees,
 and the contract would Jointly managed by the Mayor and Village Manager.

My recommendation is that the Village Board pursue both options at once, issuing both a job
description for an in-house Corporation Counsel and a request for proposals for an outside firm within
the next week or so. Applications from individuals and proposals from legal firms would initially be
reviewed and evaluated by a panel comprised of:

 • Village ManagerJohn Lockerby
 • Two Village department directors of his choice
 • Two attorneys living in Skokie, selected via an application process
 • An outside attorney with municipal experience who is not affiliated with a firm that will be
 applying

The application for the panel attorneys who live in Skokie woutd be publicized in Village outreach, with
applicants required to:

 • Be licensed to practice law in the State of Illinois and in good standing the Attorney Registration
 and Disciplinary Commission
 • Live in the Village of Skokie
 • Have municipal law experience and/or experience with Village government administrative
 processes through service on an advisory board or commission or other involvement

The panel will review all initial applications and proposals, and conduct first interviews. Subsequently,
the panel will recommend no more than three finalist individuals and two firms for consideration. As a
Board, we will interview all of the finalists together with the goal of reaching consensus on either an
individual or firm.

This is the first step In a comprehensive review of the Corporation CounseFs Office. I estimate that the
process will finish before the end of the calendar year, if not sooner.

Legal Services for the Village of Skokie

With the recent retirement of the Vtt!age/s Corporation Counse!, the Mayor and Village Board
requested an analysis of options for Village legal services. Legal expertise is a necessity and recognized
as a cost of doing business,

The Corporation Counsel responsibilities necessitate a breadth of knowledge and experience especiaily
of municipal law within the State of Illinois. At a high levei, the key functions of the Corporation
Counsel include the following:

 • Serve as Chief Legal Advisor and LegaE Strategist
 • Manage the Legal Department and Supervision of a!i iega! matters
 • Ensure the Village is represented in any legal action or matter

There are three models commonly utilized: 1.) an in-house Corporation Counsel, 2.) a !aw firm
providing services on a contractual basis, and 3.) Hybrid of in-house and iaw firm,

!n-House Corporation Counsel: The Village ofSkokie has historically had a Village enTiployee serve as
in-house Corporation Counsel who is appointed by the Mayor with the consent of the Board of
Trustees. The Corporation Counsel's Office includes three additiona! attorneys on staff and the Village
also utilizes outside attorneys/iaw firms when specialized knowledge or workload necessitates. For
example/ during the past two years, the Village has used the services of 13 law firms for matters such
as Administrative Hearings, electora! reform impiementation, labor relations and personnel matters.

Contractual Law Firm: A firm provides a primary point person for the ciient munidpality/ which the
municipality selects, as well as access to the firm's entire team of attorneys with varying expertise. For
example, a monthly retainer is paid and then a principal from the firm serves as the contact and the
chief advisor/ utiiizing attorneys within the practice as workload or expertise dictates. There are at
least three area firms that specialize in municipal law including: Ancel Gtink, Elrod Friedman, and Klein/
Thorpe and Jenkins.

Hybrid or combination of In-House and Law Firm: Municipalities use a combination of in-house and
outside counsel, leveraging the strengths of each approach. For example/ Oak Park recently
experienced a vacancy with its Village Attorney and hired a firm to serve in that capacity while also
utilizing other in-house attorneys on staff.

Ensuring the Village Is served by the best legal advice in a cost-effective manner is the matter at hand.
in reviewing the strengths of each modei, it is apparent that having the right partner is crucial. For that
reason, it is advisable for the next step to include simuitaneousiy initiating a search for an internal
Corporation Counsel and also issuing a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for an outside firm. This would
be fotiowed by combining the applicants and proposais into one pool of options and selecting the best
legal representation for the Village.

The attachments include:

 • A comparison of In-House versus Contractua! Law Firm
 • A summary of how area municipalities appoint and staff legal services

 B. Presentation: Community Development Director Johanna Nyden gave a presentation
on the Neighborhood Integrity Program, which was celebrating its 10th anniversary. She noted
the program involves multiple village departments working together to support and sustain high-
quality housing throughout Skokie.
Nyden explained that the ordinance was adopted in January 2014. It established requirements for
landlord training, property inspections, annual rental registration fees, a crime-free housing
addendum, and guidelines for landlord-tenant relationships. The ordinance is a tool that creates
structure for fostering good neighborhoods and safe spaces, while also promoting positive
communication throughout the community.

Police Chief Jesse Barnes discussed the police department's role in the program. He explained
the structured relationship between the police department, landlords, and tenants through a
designated police liaison. Chief Barnes emphasized the importance of clear guidelines,
consistency in enforcement, and having a go-to resource for landlords and tenants with questions
or concerns. The program empowers landlords as partners in community safety and strengthens
tenant protections through collaboration and education.

Health and Human Services Director Mike Charley provided an overview of Skokie's Fair
Housing Ordinance and its relationship to the Neighborhood Integrity Ordinance. He highlighted
Skokie's progressive history in advancing equitable housing, noting that the village was one of
the first municipalities in Illinois to pass a fair housing ordinance in 1969. He explained how the
Fair Housing Ordinance works with the Neighborhood Integrity Ordinance to advance equity,
safety, and community well-being. He detailed key components of the program, including
landlord education, tenant awareness, staff training, and community mediation services.

Officer Rich Wilkin, newly appointed as the Neighborhood Standards Officer, discussed his role
and the police department's involvement in the program. He explained the rental unit registration
process, mandatory landlord training seminars, and the Crime Free Lease Addendum. Wilkin
spoke about the "whole of village" approach to the program and highlighted crime prevention
strategies, including Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED).

Angel Schnur, Building and Inspection Services Manager, talked about the Property Standards
Division's role in the program. The program is a joint effort among village staff, landlords, and
tenants, with each group having specific responsibilities. Schnur outlined three ways the Property
Standards Division helps ensure safe housing: routine rental inspections, pre-sale inspections,
and unit inspections.

Board members asked questions and provided feedback:
  Trustee Kimani Levy asked about excessive move-in fees charged by some landlords.
  Trustee Schechter suggested reviewing the crime-free lease addendum to ensure it
 includes language protecting non-culpable victims of crime from eviction.
  Trustee Robinson talked about the importance of accountability for landlords and
 suggested creating a system for tenants to rate their landlords.
  Trustee Iverson recommended developing a concise document outlining tenants' rights
 and procedures to be provided at lease signing.

New Business
A. Discussion of Corporation Counsel Options
Mayor Tennes presented a memo outlining the process for appointing a new Corporation
Counsel or potentially hiring a firm to serve in that role in a hybrid system. She recommended
pursuing both tracks simultaneously, with a panel to be formed to review applications and
conduct initial interviews. The panel would consist of the Village Manager, two department
directors, two attorneys from the community, and an outside attorney with municipal legal
experience.
The Mayor explained that the goal is to have a decision and either a new Corporation Counsel or
a firm in place for the hybrid model no later than the end of the calendar year 2025.
Village Manager Lockerby clarified that the chart provided in the packet does compare hybrid
models, with Oak Park being a recent example of a community adopting this approach.
Trustee Pure Slovin expressed support for the mayor's recommendations and the proposed
model.

Public Comment. (3 minutes per person, maximum of 30 minutes)
Trustee Pure Slovin recognized Chief Jesse Barnes and the Skokie Police
Department for their responsiveness and sensitivity to the Jewish community's concerns
following a recent attack in Colorado. She thanked the police for their efforts in helping Skokie
residents feel safe during a time of heightened fear and uncertainty.
Mayor Tennes supported these sentiments, acknowledging the difficult times and expressing the
village's commitment to ensuring all community members feel welcome and safe.
Lauren Grodnicki asked how often individual rental units (not just exteriors/common areas) are
inspected.
Trustee Lissa Levy called for more tenant outreach to address maintenance issues and reduce
fear of retaliation.
Trustee Iverson commented this program is a resource.
