Memorandum
Manager's Office

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

FROM: ^^A-
 Jcfin T. Lockerby, VilWge Manager

DATE: August 28, 2025

SUBJECT: MANAGER'S REPORT
 BOARD MEETING OF TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 2,2025
  A. Presentation of New Website Design.
 The Communications and Community Engagement Division has been working on
 a comprehensive redesign of the Village's website. The goal is to create a site that
 is easier to navigate, provides clear and accessible information, reflects the
 Village's updated branding and meets modern standards for usability and
 accessibility. Meredith Gioia, Communications Manager will provide a presentation.

  B. Recommendation for Regulation for Short Term Rentals (STR).
 Under the Village's current practice, owner/operators of Short-Tenn Rentals
 (STRs) are required to follow steps associated with the Village's rental registration
 process. This process is, however, tailored to a rental use associated with long
 term renters and not shorter-term rental arrangements facilitated by Airbnb, VRBO
 and other "sharing economy" housing websites. Staff recommends adoption of
 changes to the Village Code to regulate short-term rentals (STRs) in the Village of
 Skokie. The attached draft ordinance addresses the following: defines short term
 rentals, establishes rules for operation of STRs, addresses building code and life
 safety issues, sets fee schedule for annual registration and violations, determines
 eligible locations in relationship to other STRs, limits the number of STRs per block
 and establishes a revocation process in the event owners/operators are found in
 violation. Johanna Nyden, Community Development Director will present an
 overview of the draft for discussion.

* C. Skokie Fire Station 18 Window Replacements - American Thermal Window
 Productsjnc., Niles, Illinois -$37,263.04.
 The Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Buildings and Grounds Budget contains
 funding for the replacement of windows at Fire Station 18. The current windows
 have reached the end of their useful life and continued repairs are no longer
 feasible. American Thermal Window Products has been installing commercial and
 residential windows since 1981. I concur with staff's recommendation that a
 contract in the amount of $37,263.04 be issued to American Thermal Window

FROM: /lCUtV^S^-
 Meredith Gioia,X1ommunications Manager

DATE: August 25, 2025


SUBJECT: Website Design Update



The Communications and Community Engagement Division is in the process of a
comprehensive redesign of the Village's website. The goal of this project is to create a site that is
easier to navigate, provides clear and accessible information, reflects the Village's updated
branding and meets modem standards for usability and accessibility.

.Over the past several months, Communications staff have worked across departments and with
the Village's website vendor, CivicPlus, to prepare for the launch of the redesigned site. The
followmg progress has been made:


 1. Content Review with Departments
 Every Village department conducted a thorough review of Its existing website pages.
 Staff identified outdated information, gaps in content, and opportunities to reorganize
 material for greater clarity.
 2. Content Updates Following Best Practices
 Pages are being rewritten to follow web content best practices. Information is structured
 to be skimmable, with headings, short paragraphs and buUeted lists where appropriate.
 Text is also written at a 6th—8th grade reading level to make information more accessible
 to a wider audience.
 3. Document Renew and Cleanup
 Thousands of documents currently housed on the website were reviewed, resulting in the
 removal of many outdated forms, policies and reports. Document maintenance is a
 continuous process, and will be conducted again in the near future in light of new federal
 requirements. Under the ADA'S Title II, U,S. state and local government websites must
 comply with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA standards
 for web content and mobile apps. This includes all PDF documents posted on municipal
 websites. The majority of documents on the site are not currently ADA compliant and
 will either need to be removed, archived or brought into compliance. Due to its
 population size, Skokie must comply with these requirements by April 24,2026.
 4. Search Optimization
 Keywords and descriptive metadata are being added to all high-traffic and critical pages.
 This step will help to improve the website's internal search results and support better
 indexing by external search engines.
 5. Community Engagement on Navigation
 Staff held community focus groups to test different global navigation options.




#628525
 Return to Mgr Rpt




 Participants provided feedback on how they look for information, what categories were
 most intuitive and which layouts made the site easiest to use. This input directly shaped
 the structure of the new navigation.
 6. Homepage Redesign
 The liomepage was redesigned using website analytics to better serve residents' needs.
 The most frequently visited and searched pages have been brought forward for easy
 access, and new features provide space to highlight seasonal or time-sensitive
 information, such as vehicle sticker deadlines, parking regulations or summer events.
 7. Design and Accessibility Enhancements
 CivicPlus is working with staff to redesign the site's overall look and feel. The new
 design reflects the Village's updated branding and color palette and incorporates modem
 design elements. Importantly, the site is being built to meet Americans with Disabilities
 Act (ADA) accessibility standards, ensuring equitable access for all users. Staff are in the
 process of reviewing several website accessibility tools to farther improve user
 experiences.


Next Steps and Timeline
The project is now moving into the final development and testing phases. In the commg weeks,
staff will:


 » Complete page-by-page content entry in the new website design.
 * Conduct internal testing to ensure links, forms and navigation function correctly.
 • Perform accessibility and mobile responsiveness reviews.
 • Provide staff training on maintaining and updating the new site.
 • Begin developing a long-term work plan for ensuring website documents meet the April
 24, 2026 ADA compliance deadline.

The redesigned websife is anticipated to launch on September 11, 2025.

Upon launch, website visitors will experience a modernized, easy-to-use, and accessible website
that better reflects the Village's commitment to clear communication and community
engagement.

TO: J^hn Lockerby, Village Manager

FROM: ' TW^T^y^^ ^>
 ,/J/hanna Nyden, AICP,^Zmmunity Development Director

DATE: August 25, 2025

SUBJECT: Recommendation for Regulation for Short Term Rentals (STR)

Recommendation
Staff recommends adoption of changes to Village Code to regulate short-term rentals (STRs) in the
Village ofSkokie.

Summary
The Village has studied the implementation and creation of regulation ofSTRs in the Village.
Under the Village's current practice, owner/operators ofSTRs are required to follow steps associated
with the Village's rental registration process. This process is, however, tailored to a rental use
associated with long term renters and not shorter term rental arrangements facilitated by Airbnb,
VRBO, and other "sharing economy" housing websites.


The Village would appear to have a limited number ofSTRs within its 10-square miles. Presently,
there are less than 20 units that serve as STRs in the Village that have become registered through the
current rental registration process. In reviewing websites that offer short-term rentals, such as
VRBO and AirBnB, it would appear that there are approximately 15-30 units of housing that is
being offered as an STR (this number varies depending on date range availability). Additionally,
based on listing descriptions, some housing appears to be managed full-time as a STR while others
present as to be sporadic to offer additional income to an owner who is out of town.


There have has been extensive studies and reviews of the impact of STRs in various communities -
ranging from tourist destinations to smaller communities. While information about its impact is wide
ranging, the common recommendation for managing STRs is for municipalities to regulate the use.
The attached draft ordinance is inclusive of some of the best practices for regulating the use.


The attached proposed ordinance for the Village addresses the following:
 • Defines short term rentals and associated terms associated with these operations.
 • Establishes rules for operation ofSTRs (e.g. how occupancy is established, what are the
 expectations of STR owners/hosts, how information is communicated to guests about
 expectations of visiting a Skokie neighborhood).
 • Addresses building code and life safety issues by establishing an inspection requirement for
 these units and specific requirements for determining occupancy for overnight guests.
 • Sets fee schedule for annual registration and violations.
 • Determines eligible locations in relationship to other STRs for allowing locations of these
 uses.




Document Number: 619825
 Return to Mgr Rpt




 • Limits the number of STRs per block and block face to minimize potential impact to a
 neighborhood.
 • Establishes a revocation process for STR owner/operators in the event they are found in
 violation of the code.


Fees associated with registration are consistent with other communities that are regulating this use in
the region. Remittance of the Village's hotel-motel tax is also expected for this use.

Plan Commission Report 5347 Birchwood Avenue
Village Board Council Chambers, 7:30 PM, September 2, 2025


To: Mayor and Board of Trustees
From: Paul Luke, Chairman
Re: 2025-011P: Special Use Permit – 5347 Birchwood Avenue

PLAN COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION AND ANALYSIS
At the August 7, 2025 meeting of the Plan Commission, the request from Liviu Costel
Ciobra for a special use permit for outdoor storage in the M1 Office Assembly zoning
district was recommended as APPROVED by a vote of 7 ayes, 0 nays and 1 member
absent.

The request from Liviu Costel Ciobra for relief from §118-61(c)(1) to allow a fence
within the required front yard in the M1 Office Assembly Industry zoning district was
recommended as APPROVED by a vote of 7 ayes, 0 nays and 1 member absent.

The requested relief pertains to the installation of an 8-foot-tall fence within the 50-foot
required front yard in the M1 district. Staff presented examples of relief granted for
comparable uses on neighboring properties, including 5351 Birchwood Avenue, located
directly adjacent to the subject property to the west, and 7550 Frontage Road, located
just north of the subject site. Both properties received relief from the 50-foot front yard
setback requirement in the M1 district to accommodate fencing for outdoor storage
areas. Staff noted that the request at 5347 Birchwood Avenue is consistent with
conditions in the surrounding area and supports the justification for granting the
requested relief.

materials.

ADDITIONAL PLAN COMMISSION ANALYSIS
Chairman Luke inquired about the proposed landscaping and requested that it would
not interfere with existing utilities on the site. Staff confirmed that the landscaping plan
had been reviewed by both planning and forestry staff, who determined that it would
not pose any issues for underground utilities in the area. No other commissioners had
questions regarding the project.

The petitioner informed staff that the condition requiring the repaving of the portion of
the driveway between the fence on the north side of the outdoor storage area and the
curb on Birchwood Avenue had already been satisfied, with the work completed. The
petitioner also agreed to comply with all other conditions presented by staff.

Presentations and Reports.
 A. Presentation
Human Relations Commission Update on Human Relations Ordinance Implementation and
Community Engagement Efforts by Maria E. Monastero Bueno, Human Relations Commission
Chair.
Maria Monastero Bueno, Chair of the Human Relations Commission, presented an update
on the implementation of the Human Relations Ordinance. In response to request on July
10, 2025 from Mayor Tennes, the Village Manager, and the Board to support
implementation of the ordinance, which ensures equal access to village services regardless
of immigration status and clarifies that the village will not participate in immigration
enforcement except when required by federal law or valid criminal warrant.
Chairperson Monastero Bueno outlined several key initiatives:

 1. Public education materials - developing flyers and brochures in multiple languages
 2. School district partnerships - how to best support students and families
 3. Strategic outreach - share materials through schools, Oakton College, daycares, youth
 programs, Skokie Hospital, health centers, and workplaces
 4. Community programming - exploring programs to build inclusion and reduce hate and
 bias, such as hosting a screening of "Not in Our Town" followed by a panel discussion

Trustee Robinson thanked the Commission's work and the importance of establishing where the
community stands in the current climate. Trustee Schechter expressed gratitude for her role as a
liaison and noted the ordinance reflects real action. Mayor Tennes praised the Commission for
quickly organizing meetings after Board request and acknowledged the many community
partners supporting the initiative. Trustee Iverson suggested additional outreach via mobile
phones and to religious organizations, which Monastero Bueno confirmed were already part of
their plans.

Report of the Village Manager.
 A. Presentation of the New Website Design.
Communications Manager Meredith Gioia presented the redesigned Village website with the
Village's new logo and brand standards. Best practice recommends refreshing website design
every 3-5 years, the website was last updated about 6 years ago.

The redesign goals included making the site simpler to navigate, ensuring residents can find
accurate and easy-to-understand information, and reflecting the village's updated branding while
meeting accessibility requirements.
The new design features:

  An Action Center with six buttons for the most common visitor needs
  A seasonal slideshow highlighting timely information
  Four graphic buttons linking to answers for the most common search terms
  A relocated Google Translate button for better visibility
  An improved News section and public meetings/community calendar that shows the next
 six events rather than just the current month
The new navigation menu was developed based on community focus groups. Trustees expressed
enthusiasm for the redesign. Trustee Robinson inquired about subscribing to calendars and
presence on social media platforms such as Instagram and TikTok. Trustee Lissa Levy
complimented the clean, intuitive design. Trustee Schechter suggested adding "Skokie welcomes
everyone" to the homepage and that strategic plan documents remain accessible. Trustee Kimani
Levy asked about ADA compliance improvements and the mobile version of the site. The new
website is scheduled to launch on September 11, 2025.

 B. Recommendation for Regulation for Short Term Rentals (STR).
Community Development Director Johanna Nyden presented a draft ordinance for regulating
short-term rentals (STRs). Currently, Skokie regulates STRs through the rental registration
program with a $25 fee, treating them the same as long-term rentals. Staff estimates 15-30 STRs
operate in Skokie, with about 20 registered.




628697
 13909
Meeting of the Mayor and Board of Trustees
Tuesday, September 2, 2025 Page Three 3

The proposed regulations would:

  Define different types of STRs (owner-occupied hosted/unhosted and investor-owned)
  Require minimum stays of 48 hours
  Mandate information provision to guests
  Establish annual inspections
  Create penalties and registration revocation procedures
  Limit STRs to one per block and block face

Board members expressed varying opinions:
Mayor Tennes strongly opposed allowing STRs in residential districts for less than 30
consecutive nights, stating that residents expect to buy homes in residential neighborhoods
without businesses next door and there are other options in town available for short term. She
emphasized the need to protect residential quality of life.
Trustee Schechter supported regulation rather than an outright ban but was concerned about
preserving income diversity and affordable housing. She suggested maximizing local ownership,
against outside investors and not allowing STR’s in multi-family buildings unless units have
separate entrances. Trustee Schechter supported the spacing restrictions and minimum 48-hour
stays.
Trustee Lissa Levy favored regulation rather than a ban due to limited alternative short-term
housing options in Skokie but wanted stricter enforcement and earlier quiet hours.
Trustee Robinson supported regulations, noting that property owners should have rights to use
their property within reason, and that STRs serve legitimate needs for visiting family members
during special occasions.
Trustee Schechter and Lissa Levy opposed to allowing STRs in future Accessory Dwelling Units
(ADUs).
Trustee Schechter suggested the village look into options for older people who are interested in
home sharing as a separate program.
Trustee Iverson noted the draft ordinance addressed many concerns and asked how STRs fit into
the village's zoning scheme. Director Nyden explained that the current proposal doesn't involve
zoning, which would require Planning Commission review.
