Unfinished Business.
A. Village Sea! Committee - Recommended Design.
Maria Monastero Bueno and Jasmine Gumeau ,Village Seal Committee Co-Chairs gave an
update on the recommended design.

Background
In November 2018, the Village ofSkokie Human Relations Commission began its discussion of
the current Village Seal which features Native imagery and has been used since the 1940's.
Following public engagement and extensive research, the Village Seal Review Committee
concluded that the current Village seal is not an accurate representation of the tribes from the
Skokie area, and that the seal is in conflict with how some members of the Native community
would like to be represented.
Process
The Village Seal Committee began its work by surveying community members on potential
elements and themes to incorporate into a new seal design. The Committee developed a survey
asking individuals to share what they valued about Skokie, what symbols they felt represented
Skokie's past, present and future. Following this feedback, the Committee established and
issued a Request for Qualifications to solicit artists interested in working on the project. The
Committee spent several months working closely with Bumper Lanes and Overbite Studio to
review community feedback research municipal seal examples and establish preferences on
artistic style, color and potential elements to include in the seal design.
 Recommended Design
 Following presentation of an initial draft design and consideration of community feedback, the
 Committee is recommending a design that incorporate the following elements/features and
 updates. Skokie Spirit Flame, Cattails, Wabskoki, Colors, Font, and Stained Glass style
 Updates to the Village Code
 The second reading and adoption will be on March 17, 2025.

DATE: March 4,2025

SUBJECT: Skokie Celebrates 50 Years Participating in the Community Development
 Block Grant (CDBG) Federal Program
 Village Board Agenda Item PY25/FY26 PUBLIC HEARINGS

The Village ofSkokie is celebrating its 50th year as a recipient of the U.S. Department of
Housing & Urban Development's (HUD) Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
program. Since becoming an eligible community in 1974, Skokie has received over $25 million
in CDBG funding to support low- and moderate-income residents through various initiatives
such as housing rehabilitation, infrastructure improvements, job creation, and public services.
The CDBG program is important because it allows local decision-making and direct participation
to address specific needs within Its own community.


To mark the 50th anniversary, HUD has awarded Skokie with a certificate of recognition, which
will be presented at the Village Board meeting on Monday, March 17, 2025. To commemorate
this event, the Village has invited Federal elected officials and organizations that have benefited
from CDBG funding to attend the meeting, where highlights of the program will be shown with
photos and a video. A brief reception will follow.

 BOARD MEETING OF MONDAY, MARCH 17,2025
* A. 2025 Non-Arterial Street Resurfacing Proqram - Schroeder & Schroeder.
 Inc., Skokie, Illinois - $4,194,700.
 This project provides for the resurfacing of approximately 4.28 miles of residential
 streets, which will include 21 streets within the Village. Motor Fuel Tax, Local Fuel
 Tax and General Revenue will be used to fund the cost of the project. It is
 recommended that a contract be awarded to Schroeder & Schroeder, Inc., the
 lowest responsive and responsible bidder, in the amount of $4,194,700. This firm
 is pre-qualified by the Illinois Department of Transportation and has worked with
 the Village on numerous resurfacing projects with satisfactory results. I concur
 with staff's recommendation and respectfully request Mayor and Board approval.

* B. Old Orchard Road Identifiers - Design Chanae Order.
 The Village has been working with both the County of Cook and the State of
 Illinois to improve the Old Orchard Road Corridor between Woods Drive and
 Skokie Boulevard. This project included identifiers to increase visibility of the
 Village and assist in wayfinding for motorists. The Village previously entered into a
 contract with TranSystems Corporation for the design of Village of Skokie
 identifiers on the new bridge and within the Old Orchard Road infieid. Ultimately,
 the County elected to not include the identifiers on the contract and asked the
 Village to coordinate with the State separately to obtain the necessary permits.
 The proposed change order is for $22,567 and increases the total design cost to
 $63,939. 1 concur with staff's recommendation and respectfully request Mayor and
 Board approval to authorize the execution of the change order for Engineering
 Services associated with the Old Orchard Road Identifiers.

* C. Adoption of Ratified Fraternal Order of Police (FOP) Contract
 The labor contract with Local Lodge #68 of the Fraternal Order of Police (FOP)
 covers Skokie Police Officers. The Village and Local Lodge #68 of the FOP
 negotiated and reached an agreement regarding the next collective bargaining
 contract. Assistant Village Manager Nicholas Wyatt has outlined the major
 provisions of this contract in the attached memorandum, I respectfully request
 Mayor and Board approval of the contract.

Memorandum

Engineering Division

Memo to: John Y. !\oc]i^-by, Village Manager

From:
 Russ Rietveld, Director o^Engineering

Date: March 7, 2025

Subject: AGENDA ITEM - March 17, 2025 Village Board Meeting
 Old Orchard Road Identifiers - Design Change Order

As you are aware, the Village has been working with both the County of Cook and the State of
Illinois to improve the Old Orchard Corridor between Woods Drive and Skokie Boulevard. This
project includes roadway reconstruction, bridge replacement, utility improvements, geometric
improvements, traffic signal upgrades, installation of a multi-use path and lighting improvements,
In addition, the Village previously entered into a contract with TranSystems Corporation for the
design of Village ofSkokie identifiers on the new bridge and within the Old Orchard Road infield.
The proposed identifiers are as shown on the attached.


The original design contract contemplated the identifier improvements being included in ihe
roadway and bridge construction contract, Ultimately, the County elected to not include the
identifiers in the contract and asked the Village to coordinate with the State separately. We still
anticipate the identifiers being completed in conjunction with the existmg contract, however we
now need to coordinate with the State and obtain the required permits separately.


The identifiers will increase the visibility of the Village and assist in wayfmding for motorists. The
first identifier will be on the new Old Orchard Road bridge facing southbound 1-94. There will also
be a second identifier in the infieid of the northbound I"94 exit ramp at Old Orchard Road.

The proposed change order is for $22,567 and increases the total design cost to $63,939. Thus> it is
recommended that the Mayor and Board of Trustees autliorize the execution of the change order for
Engineering Services associated with the Old Orchard Road Identifiers as described herein.


Please present this recommendation to the Mayor and Board of Trustees at the March 17, 2025
regularly scheduled meeting.

Please contact me if there are any questions.

Memorandum
Manager's Office

TO: John T. Lockerby, Village Manager




FROM: Nicholas ^. Wyatt, A^stant Village Manager

DATE: March 7, 2025

SUBJECT: Adoption of Ratified FOP Contract


The Local Lodge #68 of the Fraternal Order of Police (FOP), which covers 90 Skokie
Police Officers, recently ratified a Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) that was
negotiated between Village and Union representatives. A copy of the proposed CBA is
attached below.

Nationwide, police recruitment remains a challenge, but the new contract will continue
to make the Skokie Police Department an appealing place to work, offering competitive
salaries and benefits. In summary, the contract is for a term of three years, commencing
May 1, 2025 and ending April 30, 2028. Wage adjustments in the CBA include 3% on
May 1,2025,3% on May 1, 2026 and 3% on May 1 , 2027. Equity adjustments include
0.25% on November 1, 2025 and 0.75% on November 1, 2026. Additionally, the Village
will add a new annual stipend of $1,200 for police officers who serve as evidence
technicians (ET). The job of an ET is extremely difficult, requiring substantial training
and tedious crime scene work. The new stipend will reward the work these individuals
do and incentivize the best officers to take on this important responsibility.

It is respectfully requested that the Village Board adopt the proposed CBA at the March
17, 2025 Board meeting. In the interim, if you have questions regarding any of the
information provided above, please let me know.

 ARTICLE III

 DUES CHECKOFF, FAIR SHARE, AND COUNCIL RIGHTS

 Section 3.1. Dues Checkoff. During the term of this Agreement the Village will deduct

 from each employee’s first paycheck each month the uniform, regular monthly Council dues for

 each employee in the bargaining unit who has filed with the Village a lawfully written

 authorization form and shall forward such amount to the Council by the 10th day of the month

 following the month in which the deduction was made, together with a list of employees from

 whom deductions were made.

 The actual dues amount deducted, as determined by the Council, shall be uniform for

 each employee in order to ease the Village’s burden in administering this provision. The Council

 may change the fixed uniform dollar amount once each year during the life of this Agreement by

 giving the Village HR Director at least thirty (30) days’ written notice of any change in the

 amount of the uniform dues to be deducted.

 If an employee has no earnings or insufficient earnings to cover the amount of the dues

 deduction, the Council shall be responsible for collection of dues. The Council agrees to refund

 to the employee any amounts paid to the Council in error on account of this dues deduction

 provision.

 Section 3.2. Indemnification. The Council shall indemnify and hold harmless the

 Village, its elected representatives, officers, administrators, agents and employees from and

 against any and all claims, demands, actions, complaints, suits or other forms of liability

 (monetary or otherwise) that arise out of or by reason of any action taken or not taken by the

 Village for the purpose of complying with the provisions of this Article, or in reliance on any

 written checkoff authorization furnished under any of such provisions.

 ARTICLE V

 GRIEVANCE PROCEDURE

 Section 5.1. Definition. A “grievance” is defined as a dispute or difference of opinion

 raised by an employee or the Council against the Village involving an alleged violation of an

 express provision of this Agreement except that any dispute or difference of opinion concerning

 a matter or issue subject to the jurisdiction of the Skokie Police and Fire Commission shall not

 be considered a grievance under this Agreement unless otherwise specifically provided in this

 Agreement.

 Section 5.2. Procedure. The parties acknowledge that it is usually most desirable for an

 employee and his immediate supervisor to resolve problems through free and informal

 communications. If, however, the informal process does not resolve the matter, the grievance

 will be processed as follows:

 STEP 1: Any employee who has a grievance shall submit the grievance in
 writing on a grievance form, a copy of which is attached as Appendix
 A, to the employee’s (in most cases, a Sergeant) immediate supervisor,
 specifically indicating that the matter is a grievance under this
 Agreement. The grievance shall contain a complete statement of the
 facts, the provision or provisions of this Agreement which are alleged
 to have been violated, and the relief requested. All grievances must be
 presented no later than ten (10) calendar days from the date of the first
 occurrence of the matter giving rise to the grievance or within ten (10)
 calendar days after the employee, through the use of reasonable
 diligence, could have obtained knowledge of the first occurrence of the
 event giving rise to the grievance. The immediate supervisor shall
 render a written response to the grievant within seven (7) calendar days
 after the grievance is presented.

 STEP 2: If the grievance is not settled at Step 1 and the employee wishes to
 appeal the grievance to Step 2 of the grievance procedure, it shall be
 submitted in writing to the Deputy Chief designated for this purpose by
 the Village or his designee within seven (7) calendar days after receipt
 of the Village’s answer at Step 1. The grievance shall specifically state
 the basis upon which the grievant believes the grievance was
 improperly denied at the previous step in the grievance procedure. The
 Deputy Chief, or his designee, shall provide a written answer to the

{00870819.DOCX v. 1 }
 7
 Return to Memo




 grievant within seven (7) calendar days after the grievance is appealed
 to Step 2.

 STEP 3: If the grievance is not settled at Step 2 and the employee wishes to
 appeal the grievance to Step 3 of the grievance procedure, it shall be
 submitted in writing to the Police Chief within seven (7) calendar days
 after receipt of the Village’s answer at Step 2. The grievance shall
 specifically state the basis upon which the grievant believes the
 grievance was improperly denied at the previous step in the grievance
 procedure. The Police Chief, or his designee, shall investigate the
 grievance and, in the course of such investigation, shall offer to discuss
 the grievance within seven (7) calendar days with the grievant and an
 authorized representative of the Council at a time mutually agreeable to
 the parties. If no settlement of the grievance is reached, the Police
 Chief, or his designee, shall provide a written answer to the grievant
 and the Council within seven (7) calendar days following their
 meeting.

 STEP 4: If the grievance is not settled at Step 3 and the Council desires to
 appeal, it shall be referred by the Council in writing to the Village
 Manager within seven (7) calendar days after receipt of the Village’s
 answer at Step 3. Thereafter, the Village Manager or his designee and
 other appropriate individual(s) as desired by the Village Manager, shall
 meet with the grievant and a Council representative within fourteen
 (14) calendar days of receipt of the Council’s appeal, if at all possible.
 If no agreement is reached, the Village Manager or designee shall
 submit a written answer to the grievant and Council within seven (7)

 Section 5.4. Limitations on Authority of Arbitrator. The arbitrator shall have no right to

 violation, misinterpretation or misapplication of the specific provisions of this Agreement. The

 arbitrator shall be empowered to determine the issue raised by the grievance as submitted in

 writing at the Second Step. The arbitrator shall have no authority to make a decision on any

 issue not so submitted or raised. The arbitrator shall be without power to make any decision or

 award which is contrary to or inconsistent with, in any way, applicable laws, or of rules and

 regulations of administrative bodies that have the force and effect of law. The arbitrator shall not

 in any way limit or interfere with the powers, duties and responsibilities of the Village under law

 event giving rise to the grievance or within ten (10) calendar days after the employee, through

 the use of reasonable diligence, could have obtained knowledge of the first occurrence of the

 event giving rise to the grievance.

 If a grievance is not presented by the employee within the time limits set forth above, it

 shall be considered “waived” and may not be pursued further. If a grievance is not appealed to

 the next step within the specified time limit or any agreed extension thereof, it shall be

 considered settled on the basis of the Village’s last answer. If the Village does not answer a

 grievance or an appeal thereof within the specified time limits, the aggrieved employee may elect

 to treat the grievance as denied at the step and immediately appeal the grievance to the next step.

 The parties may by mutual agreement in writing extend any of the time limits set forth in this

 Article.

 Section 5.6. Miscellaneous. No member of the bargaining unit shall have any authority

 to respond to a grievance being processed in accordance with the grievance procedure set forth in

 any member of the bargaining unit shall impose any obligation or duty or be considered to be

 authorized by or binding upon the Village unless and until the Village has agreed thereto in

 writing.

 the employee actually engaged in such prohibited conduct. The failure to confer a penalty in any

 instance is not a waiver of such right in any other instance nor is it a precedent.

 Section 6.4. Judicial Restraint. Nothing contained herein shall preclude the Village or

 the Council from obtaining judicial restraint and damages in the event the other party violates

 ARTICLE XI

 VACATIONS

 Section 11.1. Eligibility. Annual vacation allowances are based on the number of

 completed years of continuous service. The annual anniversary date of the most recent start date

 as a continuous full-time employee shall be the basis of calculating the length of eligible service,

 for purposes of this Section only. The annual vacation allowances for service periods with the

 Village are:

 Years of Service Annual Earnings

 1st year to 5th anniversary 10 working days
 6th year to 12th anniversary 15 working days
 13th year to 18th anniversary 20 working days
 19th year to 23rd anniversary 25 working days
 24th year and over 30 working days

 No probationary employee shall be eligible to use accrued vacation until such employee has

 completed at least 6 months of employment.

 Section 11.2. Vacation Accrual. Vacation hours start to accrue with the first payroll

 period of employment and each subsequent payroll period, for which there is a minimum of sixty

 (60) paid hours. Inclusive of paid hours are the actual time worked plus, vacation, holiday,

 authorized sick/emergency leave, compensatory time and other categories of authorized leave

 “with pay.” Vacation hours may also accrue while an employee is off work due to a work-related

 injury/illness or other authorized unpaid leave of absence which specifically permits continued

 leave accruals. Vacation hours do not accrue to an employee while on disability leave,

 authorized leave “without pay” where leave accruals cease, or workers’ compensation absences

 over one (1) year. For the purposes of this Article only (excluding Section 11.4) full-time

 employment by the Village in a position not covered by this Agreement which immediately



{00870819.DOCX v. 1 }
 25
 Return to Memo




 precedes employment in a position covered by this Agreement shall be counted in determining

 the number of working days of vacation per year that an employee is eligible to receive.

 Section 11.3. Vacation Pay. Vacation pay shall be paid at the rate of the employee’s

 regular straight-time hourly rate of pay in effect for the employee’s regular job classification on

 the payday immediately preceding the employee’s vacation.

 Section 11.4. Vacation Scheduling. Vacations shall be scheduled insofar as practicable

 at times desired by each employee, with the determination of preference with each work unit

 being made on the basis of an employee’s seniority as defined in Article VII, Section 7.1. It is

 expressly understood that the final right to designate vacation periods and the maximum number

 of employee(s) who may be on vacation at any time is exclusively reserved by the Police Chief

 in order to insure the orderly performance of the services provided by the Village.

 Section 11.5. Limitation on Accumulation of Vacation. Earned vacation shall normally

 be taken within one year after it is earned. Employees may have accruals of vacation leave up to

 an amount equal to one-and-one-half times the employee’s annual earnings based on their length

 of service (e.g., three (3) weeks for two (2) weeks annual earnings, four and one half (4 1/2)

 weeks for three (3) weeks annual earnings, etc.). Vacation hours cease to accrue biweekly when

 the individual employee’s maximum accrual limit is reached.

 Section 11.6. Pay for Earned but Unused Vacation Upon Termination. Except with

 respect to an employee covered by Section 11.5 above, if at time of termination an employee has

 earned but unused vacation time, said vacation time shall be paid at the employee’s rate of pay at

 time of termination. In the event of death, any vacation earned but unused shall be paid to the

 designated beneficiary of the deceased employee. Except as provided in this Section, there shall

 be no salary payment made in lieu of vacation.

 ARTICLE XII

 HOLIDAYS

 In lieu of holidays, employees covered by this Agreement shall receive nine (9) days off

 per fiscal year. Effective May 1, 2023, employees covered by this Agreement shall receive ten

 (10) days off per fiscal year. Said days accrue when the actual holiday designated below occurs.

 The holidays are as follows:

 New Year’s Day MLK Day* President’s Day

 Memorial Day July 4th Labor Day

 Thanksgiving Day Day After Thanksgiving Christmas Eve

 Christmas Day


 * Effective May 1, 2023

 Holidays will be prorated for new hires and for separations (including retirements) based on the

 actual date of the hire/separation in relation to the actual holiday. Thus, if an employee uses a

 day off under this Section before the day accrues and then separates from Village service for any

 reason, the employee shall be obligated to repay the Village for the day(s), the amount of which

 may be deducted from the employee’s paycheck. (E.g., in 2022, if an employee takes nine days

 off between January 1 and December 20, and resigns effective December 20, the employee

 would owe the Village two day’s pay, since the employee’s eighth and nineth day off would not

 accrue until Christmas Day occurs. Similarly, if a new employee is hired on July 5, such

 employee will only accrue five (5) days for use during the calendar year.)

 Days off accrued under this section are to be scheduled based on the employee’s request

 and with the approval of the Police Chief or his designee. In order to be eligible to receive pay

 for any of the up to ten (10) scheduled days off, the employee must work his full scheduled day

{00870819.DOCX v. 1 }
 27
 Return to Memo




 before and after the scheduled day off unless proof of sickness or excusable absence is

 established to the satisfaction of the Police Chief. Unused days off shall be forfeited without

 Effective November 1, 2027, there will be an equity adjustment applied to all steps,

 if necessary, in a percentage amount that will place the top step F+ (or H+ for employees

 hired on or after April 1, 2023), Skokie police officer salary in the middle of the top step

 salary for the comparable communities (including Skokie) which rank 6th and 7th among

 the communities that the parties have historically used for comparability purposes.

 Contracts from all comparable communities shall be assessed for purposes of calculating

 potential equity adjustments on November 1, regardless of the status of the comparable

 community contract. In communities with unsettled contracts, no assumptions will be

 applied regarding future wage increases.

 Section 13.2. Retroactivity. Employees covered by this Agreement who are still

 on the active payroll as of the beginning of the payroll period immediately following the

 execution of this Agreement shall receive a retroactive payment which shall be based on

 the difference between the salary they received between May 1, 2025 and the beginning of

 said payroll period and the salary they would have received during the same period of time

 based upon the foregoing salary schedule for all hours paid during this time period,

 provided that any employee who died or retired after May 1, 2025, but before execution of

 this Agreement shall also be eligible for retroactive pay based on hours paid after May 1,

 2025.

 Section 13.3. Step Increments. For employees hired before April 1, 2023, advancement

from Step A to Step B and from Step B to Step C shall be at six-month intervals; advancement

at the Village’s sole option, be started at Step B, in which case the employee will advance to Step

C upon successful completion of 12 months of employment.

 New employees may, at the Village’s sole option, be hired at Step C if they have both: 1)

successfully completed the Police Academy prior to being hired by the Skokie Police Department;

and 2) completed two or more years of prior law enforcement experience. Prior law enforcement

experience shall only include full time, continuous experience, and the employee must not have

had a break in service of more than six (6) months prior to being hired by the Skokie Police

Department. Breaks in service caused by military service that are substantiated by military service

records shall not disqualify an employee from starting at Step C if the employee otherwise

qualifies. Employees who are started at Step C will advance to Step D upon successful completion

of 12 months of employment.

 To be eligible for step advancement the employee must meet departmental standards

 during the prior evaluation period. An employee shall be eligible to advance to Step F+ or H+

 only upon completing at least one year at Step F (for employees hired before April 1, 2023) or

 Step H (for employees hired on or after April 1, 2023) and after being recommended for Step F+

 or H+ based on sustained above average performance during the prior evaluation period. Receipt

 of F+ or H+ for a given year does not guarantee that the employee will receive Step F+ or H+ in

 the following year. If an employee alleges that he has been arbitrarily and capriciously denied

 Step F+ or H+, the employee or the Council may file a grievance in accordance with the

 grievance and arbitration procedure set forth in this Agreement.

 INSURANCE

 Section 14.1. Comprehensive Medical/Dental Program. The comprehensive medical

 insurance program (including HMO’s) and dental insurance program that was in effect when this

 Agreement was ratified shall be continued during the remainder of the term of this Agreement;

 provided, however, the Village retains the right to change insurance carriers, HMO’s, benefit

 levels, or to self-insure as it deems appropriate, so long as the new basic coverage and basic

 benefits are substantially similar to those which predated this Agreement. Employees may elect

 single or family coverage in one of the health plans offered by the Village during the enrollment

 period established by the Village. The employee shall pay 14% of the premium or cost for single

 or family coverage, whichever is applicable, for the plan selected and said amount shall be

 deducted from the employee’s paycheck. Effective June 1, 2017, and thereafter, the employee

 shall pay the same percent as the Village’s unrepresented employees are also paying (up to 15%)

 toward the cost of such premium or cost for single or family coverage, whichever is applicable,

 for the plan selected and said amount shall be deducted from the employee’s paycheck.

 Effective June 1, 2020, the employee shall pay 15% of the premium or cost for single or family

 coverage, whichever is applicable, for the plan selected and said amount shall be deducted from

 the employee’s paycheck.

 Section 14.2. Life Insurance. The Village will provide during the term of this

 Agreement term life insurance in the amount of $45,000. The Village retains the right to change

 insurance carriers and/or to self-insure this benefit as long as the $45,000 is maintained.

 Section 14.3. Cost Containment. The Village reserves the right to maintain or institute

 cost containment measures relative to insurance coverage so long as the basic level of insurance

 benefits remains substantially the same. Such changes may include, but are not limited to,
{00870819.DOCX v. 1 }

 mandatory second opinions for elective surgery, pre-admission and continuing admission review,

 prohibition on weekend admissions except in emergency situations, bounty clause, and

 mandatory out-patient elective surgery for certain designated surgical procedures.

 Section 14.4. Terms of Policies to Govern. The extent of coverage under the insurance

 policies referred to in Section 14.1 of this Article shall be governed by the terms and conditions

 set forth in said policies. Any questions concerning coverage shall be resolved in accordance

 with the terms and conditions in said policy and shall not be subject to the grievance procedure

 set forth in this Agreement; provided, however any employee who has a question concerning

 coverage may present it to the Village’s HR Director and the HR Director, in turn, shall make

 appropriate inquiry and advise the employee of the status of the matter.

 Section 14.5. Right to Maintain Coverage While on Unpaid Leave or on Layoff. An

 employee who is on an approved unpaid leave of absence or who is on layoff with recall rights

 shall have the right to maintain insurance coverage by paying in advance the full applicable

 monthly premium for employee coverage and, if desired, for dependent coverage.

 Section 14.6. Retirement Health Savings Plan. Effective the first payroll period

 beginning on or after the signing of the contract that is the successor to the parties’ 2015-19

 contract, an amount equal to one percent (1%) of each participating bargaining unit member’s

 base salary shall be deducted from each bargaining unit member’s paycheck and shall be placed

 into a Retiree Health Savings (RHS) Plan for each bargaining unit member. If approved by a

 simple majority of bargaining unit members, the Union will have the ability to increase the

 amount deducted once per calendar year. The Union will be responsible for notifying the Village

 Finance Director of this increase. All contributions to the RHS plan shall be made as provided

 by this agreement and in accordance with applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code



{00870819.DOCX v. 1 }
 35
 Return to Memo




 and related rulings. All such deductions shall be contributed by the Employer to the Plan

 Administrator for the RHS plan for deposit with the Trustee of the Plan. Bargaining unit

 members shall be responsible for RHS plan administrative fees. This one percent payroll

 deduction will not be deemed to decrease a bargaining unit member’s annual salary as set forth

 in Section 13.1 Salaries, of this agreement that is used in determining the amount of a bargaining

 unit member’s pension. The purpose of this section is to establish an employee-funded post-

 retirement medical account at no cost to the Village that can be used by the employee following

 separation of service from active duty to pay for eligible medical expenses. Illinois Public

 Pension Fund Association (IPPFA) is the vendor the Union selected.

 The Union shall indemnify and hold harmless the Village and their representatives and

 agents from and against any and all claims, demands, actions, complaints, suits or other forms of

 liability (monetary or otherwise) that arise out of or by reason of any action taken by the Union

 and/or the plan administrator selected by the Union to administer the Retirement Health Savings

 Program to implement the retiree health saving program.

 fitness for duty or fitness to return to duty following a layoff or leave of absence, the Village

 may require, at its expense, that the employee have a medical examination and/or psychological

 Section 17.3. Application of Agreement to U.S. Customs Unit and Other Special

 Assignment Employees. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, officers

 who are assigned to U.S. Customs or to any other governmental or inter-governmental agency

 having an independent law enforcement authority or basis of jurisdiction, and officers assigned

 to perform law enforcement functions under the partial direction of another governmental entity

 shall be subject for the duration of such assignment to the practices, policies, procedures and

 directives which are generally applicable to officers assigned to that agency or which are applied

 pursuant to the authority of the other governmental entity, even though such practices, policies,

 procedures and directive may be inconsistent or in conflict with the provisions of this

 Agreement. The application of such practices, policies, procedures and directives shall not be

 subject to the grievance and arbitration procedures of this Agreement. Without in any way

 limiting the generality of the foregoing, the practices, policies, procedures and directives of U.S.

 Customs applicable to hours of work and overtime shall be deemed to supersede inconsistent or

 contrary provisions of Article VIII (Hours of Work and Overtime) of this Agreement.



{00870819.DOCX v. 1 }

 Return to Memo




 Section 17.4. Precedence of Agreement. If there is any conflict between the specific

 provisions of this Agreement and the specific provisions of any Village ordinance or the specific

 provisions contained in the Village’s Personnel Policy and Procedure Manual which may be in

 effect from time to time, the specific terms of this Agreement, for its duration, shall take

 precedence.

 Section 17.5. Bill of Rights. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to preclude

 the applicability of the Peace Officer Bill of Rights as set forth in 50 ILCS 725/1 et seq., but said

 Bill of Rights shall not be incorporated herein by reference. Furthermore, nothing in this

 Agreement shall be construed to waive employees’ Weingarten rights pursuant to the Illinois

 Public Labor Relations Act.

 Section 17.6. Drug and Alcohol Testing. In order to help provide a safe work

 environment and to protect the public by insuring that police officers have the physical stamina

 and emotional stability to perform their assigned duties, the Village may require employees to

 submit to a random urinalysis test and/or other appropriate test up to four times per year per

 employee at a time and place designated by the Village. In addition, drug and alcohol testing

 may also be required where there is reasonable suspicion for such testing or where the employee

 is involved in a motor vehicle accident where the following is present:

 1. A fatality occurs;

 2. The employee receives a citation;

 3. An injury occurs requiring treatment at a medical facility; or

 4. Any vehicle is towed away from the scene of the accident because the vehicle
 sustained damage that renders the vehicle inoperable (e.g. not immediately
 repairable at the scene).

 For reasonable suspicion for such testing, the Village will require at least one supervisor

 (two supervisors when practicable) to observe and to confirm the behavior of the employee prior

{00870819.DOCX v. 1 }
 40
 Return to Memo




 to the order to undergo “reasonable suspicion testing”. The Village will also provide the

 employee tested a written statement within forty-eight (48) hours setting forth the reasons the

 order was given.


 The Village shall use only licensed laboratories for such testing and shall be responsible

 for maintaining proper chain of custody. The taking of urine samples shall not be witnessed

 unless there is reasonable suspicion to believe that the employee is tampering with the testing

 procedure. If the first test/screening results in a positive finding, a confirmatory (GC/MS or a

 scientifically accurate equivalent) shall be conducted. An initial positive test/screening result

 shall not be submitted to the Village unless the confirmatory test result is also positive as to the

 same sample. Upon request, the Village shall provide an employee with a copy of any test

 results which the Village receives with respect to such employee.


 A portion of the tested sample shall be retained by the laboratory in accordance with

 their procedures (currently for a period of 13 months) so that the employee may arrange for

 another confirmatory test (GC/MS or a scientifically accurate equivalent) to be conducted by a

 licensed clinical laboratory of the employee’s choosing and at the employee’s expense. Once the

 portion of the tested sample leaves the clinical laboratory selected by the Village, the employee

 shall be responsible for maintaining the proper chain of custody for said portion of the tested

 sample.

 The results of any positive tests shall be made available to the Village on a confidential

 “need to know” basis. The first time an employee tests positive for substance abuse involving

 something other than a proscribed drug, the employee shall be required to enter and successfully

 complete the Village’s Employee Assistance Program (“EAP”) during which time the employee

 may be required to submit to random testing with the understanding that if the employee again

{00870819.DOCX v. 1 }
 41
 Return to Memo




 tests positive the Village can take such action as the Village in its discretion deems appropriate.

 If an employee tests positive for the use of a proscribed drug (i.e., an illegal drug, contraband),

 the Village can take such action as the Village in its discretion deems appropriate.

 Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Village retains the right to take such action as the Village in

 its discretion deems appropriate if an employee consumes alcohol while on duty

 The illegal use, sale or possession of proscribed drugs at any time while employed by the

 Village, abuse of prescribed drugs, as well as being under the influence of alcohol or the

 consumption of alcohol while on duty, shall be cause for discipline including termination. Any

 dispute concerning an alleged violation of the specific terms of this Section shall be subject to

 resolution in accordance with the provisions of the grievance and arbitration procedure set forth

 in Article V of this Agreement.

 Moreover, employees are prohibited from voluntarily possessing or using marijuana or

 cannabis in any form, on or off duty, even though Illinois law may permit certain individuals to

 possess and use marijuana and cannabis. This prohibition of possession does not apply to the

 possession of marijuana and cannabis by Skokie police officers when carrying out assigned

 duties in their official capacity as sworn law enforcement officials (e.g., seizing marijuana and

 cannabis for evidentiary purposes as part of an arrest).


 Pursuant to 50 ILCS 727/1-25, any bargaining unit member who discharges their firearm

 causing death or injury to a person or persons, during the performance of their official duties or

 in the line of duty must submit to drug and alcohol testing. The drug and alcohol testing shall

 take place as soon as practical, but no later than the end of the involved bargaining unit

 member’s tour of duty. The Village may adopt implementation policies and procedures that are

 consistent with the foregoing.


{00870819.DOCX v. 1 }

 Return to Memo




 The Village shall indemnify and hold harmless the Council and their representatives

 and agents from and against any and all claims, demands, actions, complaints, suits or other

 forms of liability (monetary or otherwise) that arise out of or by reason of any action taken by the

 Village to implement the provisions of this Section.

 Section 17.7. Impasse Resolution. Upon the expiration of this Agreement, the remedies

 for the resolution of any bargaining impasse shall be in accordance with the Alternative Impasse

 Resolution Procedure attached as Appendix B and incorporated herein by reference.

 Section 17.8. Quartermaster System. The amount which each employee is allotted under

 the Village’s quartermaster system shall be $775 per fiscal year (pro rata if employed less than a

 year) for the purchase of uniforms and related equipment shall continue for the term of this

 Agreement; provided, however, an employee may be reimbursed up to $100 out of said

 allowance for uniform maintenance or repair where the employee submits receipts documenting

 the cost of such uniform maintenance or repair. Employees may purchase their approved

 uniforms and related equipment at any Skokie Police Department approved vendor.

 Each employee assigned to the Investigations Division or the Crime

 Prevention/Community Relations Unit shall be allotted $925 per fiscal year (pro rata if employed

 less than a year). To be reimbursed such employee must submit receipts documenting the cost of

 the clothes.

 Effective April 30th of 2022, Officers will not accrue more than 4 years’ worth of

 uniform quartermaster funds. Officers will be permitted to carry over no more than 3 years’

 worth of quartermaster funds from one fiscal year to the next.




{00870819.DOCX v. 1 }
 43
 Return to Memo




 Employees may purchase out of their allotted quartermaster funds their own type ballistic

 vest that meets the standards that have been established by the National Institute of Justice and

 protection level authorized by the Department.

 The Union and the Village desire to participate in the Department of Justice Bulletproof

 Vest Partnership Grant Program (Grant Program) established pursuant to Section 521 of title I of

 the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968. In furtherance of this desire, the

 Village agrees to submit a grant request for 50% of the cost of a vest that an officer purchases

 which is on the Department of Justice Bullet Armor Compliant Product list. If the grant request

 is approved and the Village receives a grant, the amount of the grant thus received by the Village

 shall be credited to the officer’s quartermaster fund. Example: If the grant eligible vest cost

 $1,000 and the Village receives a grant of $500 to pay for 50% of the cost of the vest, $500 shall

 be credited to the officer’s quartermaster fund.

 All operational unit members shall comply with the Skokie Police Department’s written

 policy requiring operational members to wear an armor vest or body armor. The Department’s

 written policy shall comply with all the requirements concerning the wearing of vests or body

 armor that are established by the Grant Program. In accordance with the DOJ’s grant guidelines,

 an officer is limited to the purchase of one grant-eligible vest in the same vest replacement cycle,

 e.g., once every five (5) years.

 The Village will provide employees who are assigned to the Tactical Intervention Unit

 with the basic set required uniform items with no charge to the employee’s uniform allotment

 (i.e., 2 pair of pants, 2 blouses, 4 t-shirts, 1 pair of boots, 1 duty rig, 1 baseball-type hat, and 1

 field jacket with liner). The Village shall also provide all required equipment for employee(s)

 assigned as NIPAS officer(s). Employees assigned to the Tactical Intervention Unit or as NIPAS



{00870819.DOCX v. 1 }
 44
 Return to Memo




 officer(s) shall return any Village provided uniforms/equipment if they leave the Village’s

 employ or if they are no longer assigned to the Tactical Intervention Unit. The Village will

 replace basic uniform items for employees assigned to the Tactical Intervention Unit or as

 NIPAS officer(s) as they become worn out or damaged, provided that the employee must turn in

 worn out/damaged uniform items to his TIU commander and receive approval from him to

 replace the item or items in question. It is understood that equipment items may be appropriately

 repaired rather than replaced if it is reasonable to repair the item. Unless an employee does not

 turn in worn out/damaged uniform and equipment items, the employee shall not be required to

 use his uniform allotment to replace said items.

 The Village will reimburse an employee for a total amount up to Two Hundred Dollars

 ($200.00) per fiscal year for lost or damaged personal property, such as prescription glasses or

 time pieces, provided: a) such personal item was not covered by the quartermaster system or

 uniform allowance; b) the loss or damage occurred in the line of duty; and c) restitution was not

 obtained through the court system or other means (including insurance). The amount of any

 reimbursement provided in this paragraph will be deducted from the employee’s annual uniform

 allowance.

 Notwithstanding these provisions, should the Village make any changes to the mandatory

 uniform and/or equipment requirements during the term of the Agreement, the Village shall

 purchase such items for all employees without any deductions from the employees’ annual

 uniform allotments.


 Section 17.9. Physical Fitness Program. In order to maintain and improve efficiency in

 the Police Department, to protect the public and to reduce insurance costs and risks, the Village

 may establish a reasonable physical fitness program, which shall include individualized goals.


{00870819.DOCX v. 1 }
 45
 Return to Memo




 While employees may be required to participate in any such program, no employee will be

 disciplined for failure to meet any goals that may be established as long as the employee makes a

 good faith effort to meet any such goals. Before any such program is implemented, the Village

 shall review and discuss the program at a meeting of the Labor-Management Committee.

 Section 17.10. Outside Employment. No employee shall engage in outside employment

 (which includes self-employment) unless the Police Chief, in accordance with applicable policies

 that may be in effect from time to time, has approved outside employment. Except during an

 employee’s vacation period, approved outside employment shall not exceed twenty (20) hours

 per week. Any change in the nature or extent of an employee’s approved outside employment

 shall be subject to the Police Chiefs prior approval. If an employee believes that the Police Chief

 has acted arbitrarily in denying a request to engage in outside employment, in denying a request

 to change the nature or extent of previously approved outside employment, or in withdrawing

 approval to engage in outside employment, he may file a grievance in accordance with the

 provisions of this Agreement.

 Section 17.11. Tuition Reimbursement. The employees covered by this Agreement shall

 be eligible to participate in any educational development and tuition assistance program that the

 Village may establish on the same terms and conditions that are applicable to Village employees

 generally, provided that a police officer may be reimbursed up to an annual maximum of One

 Thousand Dollars ($1,000).

 Section 17.12. Americans with Disabilities Act. Notwithstanding any other provisions

 of this Agreement, the parties agree that the Village may take whatever reasonable steps are

 needed to comply with the provisions of the Americans with Disabilities Act.

 Section 17.13. Death Benefit. The Village will reimburse an employee’s estate up to

 $7,500 for funeral expenses if the officer dies while on duty.

 Section 17.14. Retiree Separation Benefits. The following provisions shall govern

 retiree separation benefits:

 1. The official date of retirement will be the day after the last day that the employee
 was paid.

 2. Except as provided in 3.B below, the accrual of vacation, sick leave and holidays
 will all cease at the end of the last day actually worked.

 3. An employee who is retiring shall have one of the following two options:

 A. An option to receive a severance payout for accrued but unused vacation
 in a lump sum on the last paycheck issued following the last day worked.
 If this option is selected, the amount of the severance payout will be based
 on the accrued but unused vacation as of the last day actually worked.

 OR

 B. The option to receive a severance payout for accrued but unused vacation
 over subsequent consecutive payroll period(s). If an employee selects this
 option, the retirement date becomes the next day after the last day of the
 run out and pension payments will not start until after the last day of the
 run out. During the run out, an employee shall be eligible to continue to
 accrue vacation benefits, receive paid holidays (pro-rated), and receive
 any salary increases and/or longevity pay increases that become effective
 during the period of the run out.

 4. An employee with at least twenty (20) or more years of continuous full-time
 service at time of retirement and who notifies the Police Chief in writing at least
 ten (10) days in advance of the last date of work prior to retirement shall be
 entitled during his last year of employment to an extra 8-hour shift of vacation for
 each full year of employment. This extra vacation time must be taken off in the
 twelve (12) month period prior to retirement, and is intended to allow the
 employee additional time to adjust and prepare for retirement. Any unused RVA
 at the time of the employee’s retirement will be paid out with any other accrued,
 but unused vacation. There shall be no accrual of any benefits while using RVA.

 5. If an employee opts to receive a severance pay out over subsequent consecutive
 payroll period(s) rather than as a lump sum and the employee is also eligible for
 the retirement vacation allowance benefit and opts for additional paid time off
 rather than a lump sum, the severance payout shall be run out first.

 6. Intermittent or isolated sick leave may not be used while an employee is on a
 severance payout run out or while the employee is using RVA. Accrued sick days
 may be used for absences resulting from a long term, extended illness or disability
 that would otherwise qualify the individual for a nonduty-related disability
 pension.

 ARTICLE XVIII

 DISCIPLINE AND DISCHARGE

 The Village agrees that non-probationary employees may be disciplined and discharged

 only for just cause. Where the Police Chief or his designee believes just cause exists to institute

 disciplinary action against any such employee, he shall have the option to impose or seek the

 following penalties:

 (a) oral reprimand

 (b) written reprimand

 (c) suspension or fine

 (d) demotion

 (e) discharge

 If the Police Chief or his designee decides to discipline or institute disciplinary action against

 any such employee, the following procedures shall apply:

 1. Police Chiefs Authority to Discipline and to Suspend Pending Investigation
 and/or Hearing

 (a) The Police Chief or his designee shall have the disciplinary authority:

 (1) To reprimand or suspend employees without pay as a disciplinary
 measure up to a maximum of 5 duty days in accordance with
 65 ILCS 5/10-2.1-17 and the rules and regulations of the Skokie
 Fire and Police Commission effective May 1, 1994. Such
 disciplinary action shall be deemed final, subject only to an appeal
 of such discipline in accordance with the provisions of this Article.

 (2) To file charges against employees seeking the penalties of a
 suspension without pay of more than 5 duty days up to 30 calendar
 days, demotion or discharge.

 (b) The Police Chief or his designee shall also have the authority to suspend
 an employee with or without pay pending investigation and/or pending a
 hearing regardless of which hearing option may be selected by the
 employee. If the employee is suspended without pay, nothing herein shall
 be construed to waive an employee’s rights under the Supreme Court’s


{00870819.DOCX v. 1 }
 49
 Return to Memo




 decision in Cleveland Board of Education v. Loudermill, 470 U.S. 532
 (1985).

 (c) If the Police Chief or his designee decides to discipline an employee or to
 initiate discipline of an employee, he or his designee shall serve written
 notice of the charges and disciplinary penalty or proposed disciplinary
 penalty upon the employee involved. The following provisions shall be
 applicable when disciplinary action is taken or instituted by the Police
 Chief or his designee:

 (1) If the employee elects to have the disciplinary action heard by the
 Board of Fire and Police Commissioners, the employee’s appeal
 shall be governed by 65 ILCS 5/10-2.1-17 and the rules and
 regulations of the Skokie Board of Fire and Police Commissioners,
 effective May 1, 1994.

 (2) If the employee elects to file a grievance as to the disciplinary
 action, the grievance shall be processed in accordance with Article
 V of the Agreement, except that it shall be filed at Step 4 of the
 procedure. Once the employee notifies the Village of his decision
 to have the appeal heard through the grievance and arbitration
 procedure, the decision of the Police Chief or his designee with
 respect to the disciplinary action shall be deemed final, subject to
 the review of said decision through the grievance and arbitration
 procedure.

 2. Irrevocable Election of Appeal Procedure. Upon receipt of the notice, the
 employee may elect to appeal the disciplinary action (excluding oral reprimands
 under either option and both oral and written reprimands under the Board of Fire
 and Police Commissioners’ option) either to the Village of Skokie Fire and Police
 Commissioners (“Board of Fire and Police Commissioners”) or through the
 grievance and arbitration procedure set forth in Article V of this Agreement. The
 employee shall notify the Village of his election in writing within 10 calendar
 days of receiving the Police Chiefs written notice of discipline. It is agreed that
 the option to appeal either to the Board of Fire and Police Commissioners or
 through the grievance and arbitration procedure are mutually exclusive and that
 no relief shall be available under the grievance and arbitration procedure with
 respect to any matter which, at the employee’s option, is appealed to the Board of
 Fire and Police Commissioners, and that no relief shall be available under the
 Board of Fire and Police Commissioners’ appeal process with respect to any
 matter, which at the employee’s option, is appealed to the grievance and
 arbitration procedure set forth in Article V of this Agreement.

 3. Board of Fire and Police Commissioners’ Option. If the employee notifies the
 Village of his decision to have the appeal heard before the Board of Fire and
 Police Commissioners, the procedures set forth in 65 ILCS 5/10-2.1-17 shall be
 applicable except as modified in this Article. Where the Police Chief believes

{00870819.DOCX v. 1 }
 50
 Return to Memo




 there is just cause to demote or discharge an employee, he shall not file formal
 charges with the Board of Fire and Police Commissioners until the employee has
 notified the Village in writing of his irrevocable option to have the appeal heard
 before the Board of Fire and Police Commissioners within the 10-calendar day
 period specified above. If the Board of Fire and Police Commissioners
 determines there is or is not just cause for discipline, it retains the disciplinary and
 remedial authority, whichever is applicable, set forth in its rules and regulations
 effective May 1, 1994, and 65 ILCS 5/10-2.1-17.

 4. Grievance and Arbitration Option. If the employee notifies the Village of his
 decision to have the appeal heard through the grievance and arbitration procedure,
 the grievance shall be filed at Step 4. Any appeal to the grievance and arbitration
 procedure shall be signed by a representative of the Council and shall also contain
 a signed statement from the affected employee waiving any and all rights he may
 have to appeal the discipline to the Board of Fire and Police Commissioners. Any
 disciplinary grievance filed without the required signed waiver shall not be
 arbitrable and the arbitrator shall be without jurisdiction to consider or rule upon
 it. If the arbitrator determines that the disciplinary action is not supported by just
 cause the arbitrator shall have the authority to rescind or modify the action and
 order that the employee be made whole for any losses incurred as a result of
 disciplinary action, or portion thereof, that is not sustained by the arbitrator.

 5. Finality of Decision and Judicial Review. The decision of an arbitrator or the
 Board of Fire and Police Commissioners, whichever is applicable, with respect to
 any such disciplinary action shall be final and binding on the employee, the
 Council, and the Village, subject only to an appeal in accordance with the
 provisions of Illinois law applicable to the option elected, i.e.:

 (a) Board of Fire and Police Commissioners’ Option: Any appeal of a Board
 of Fire and Police Commissioners’ decision shall be in accordance with
 the provisions of the Administrative Review Act as provided by the Board
 of Fire and Police Commissioners Act, 65 ILCS 5/10-2.1-17.

 (b) Arbitration Option: Any appeal of an arbitrator’s award shall be in
 accordance with the provisions of the Uniform Arbitration Act as provided
 by Section 8 of the IPLRA, 5 ILCS 315/8.

 Pursuant to Article VII, Section 6, of the Illinois Constitution of 1970 and
 Section 15 of the IPLRA, the foregoing provisions with respect to discipline and
 the appeal and review of discipline shall be in lieu of, and shall expressly
 supersede and preempt, any provisions that might otherwise be applicable under
 either 65 ILCS 5/10-2.1-17, or the Rules and Regulations of the Village of Skokie
 Board of Fire and Police Commissioners.

 APPENDIX B

 ALTERNATIVE IMPASSE RESOLUTION PROCEDURE

 WHEREAS, the provisions of § 14(p) of the Act provide that the parties may agree to

 submit their unresolved disputes concerning wages, hours, terms and conditions of employment

 to an alternative form of impasse resolution;

 NOW, THEREFORE, based upon the mutual benefits and consideration set forth herein,

 the receipt and sufficiency of which for each party is hereby acknowledged, the Village and the

 FOP agree to the following Alternative Impasse Resolution Procedure:

 Section 1. Authority for Agreement. The parties agree that the statutory authority for

 this Agreement is § 14(p) of the Illinois Public Labor Relations Act (“Act”). The parties intend

 the provisions of this Agreement to represent and constitute an agreement to submit to an

 alternative form of impasse resolution any unresolved disputes concerning the wages, hours,

 terms and conditions of employment of the employees represented by the Illinois FOP labor

 Council (hereinafter “Council”) that are subject to the negotiations for a successor Agreement.

 Section 2. Selection of Arbitrator and Naming of Panel. The parties agree that should it

 become necessary to submit their unresolved disputes in negotiations to arbitration pursuant to

 § 14, they will engage in the arbitration of impasses procedure described in the Act and the Rules

 and Regulations of the Illinois Labor Relations Board (“Board”), subject to the following:

 (a) Service of Demand for Mediation: The parties agree that a Demand for Mediation

 filed by either party upon the other prior to May 1, 2025 (or prior to May 1 in any subsequent

 year if the Agreement is automatically renewed pursuant to the provisions of Article XXI,

 Section 1), with respect to the negotiations for a successor Agreement shall be deemed to be a

 proper and timely demand as provided in the Act and the Rules and Regulations of the Board;

 further, that arbitration proceedings under the Act and those Rules and Regulations shall be


 {00661036.DOCX v. 1 }
{00870819.DOCX v. 1 }
 Return to Memo




 deemed to have been initiated and commenced on the date of service and filing of the Demand

 for Mediation;

 (b) Arbitrator Selection Process. The parties agree that notwithstanding the filing and

 service of any Demand for Mediation by either party, the selection of an arbitrator will be

 delayed until such time as either party serves upon the representative of the other, in writing by

 certified mail, a demand that the arbitrator selection process be commenced, provided that at

 least one month of mediation has occurred. It is further agreed that:

 (i) During this period of delay, the parties agree to continue good faith
 collective bargaining with the advice and assistance of the Mediator from FMCS if requested by
 either party;

 (ii) Within seven (7) days of the receipt by the other party of the written
 demand that selection of an arbitrator begin, the representatives of the parties shall meet and
 attempt to mutually agree upon an arbitrator. The parties agree that the arbitration proceedings
 shall be heard by a single, neutral arbitrator. Each party waives the right to a three-member
 panel of arbitrators as provided in the Act;

 (iii) In the absence of agreement on a neutral arbitrator, the parties shall file a
 joint request with the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service (“FMCS”) for a panel of seven
 (7) arbitrators from which the parties shall select a neutral arbitrator. The parties agree to request
 the FMCS to limit the panel to members of the National Academy of Arbitrators who reside in
 Illinois, Indiana or Wisconsin. Both the Village and the Council shall each have the right to
 reject one panel in its entirety within seven (7) calendar days of its receipt and request that a new
 panel be submitted. The parties agree to engage in the following ranking process for purposes of
 determining which of the seven (7) arbitrators on the panel shall serve as the neutral arbitrator,
 provided that each party may strike or cross out not more than two (2) of the arbitrators on the
 panel before ranking the remaining arbitrators on the panel. Each party shall have fourteen (14)
 calendar days from the date the panel list is received from the FMCS to number the names on the
 panel list in order of preference and return the list to the FMCS. In accordance with the
 designated order of mutual preference, the FMCS shall invite the acceptance of the arbitrator to


 {00661036.DOCX v. 1 }
{00870819.DOCX v. 1 }
 Return to Memo




 serve. In the event that the arbitrator declines or is unable to serve, the FMCS shall invite the
 next arbitrator in designated order of mutual preference to so serve. In the event that he declines
 or is unable to serve, the parties agree to jointly request a new panel of seven (7) arbitrators from
 the FMCS and commence the selection process anew. It is further agreed that the FMCS’s role
 and participation in the arbitration process shall be strictly limited to providing the panel(s) and
 administering the selection process. Once an arbitrator has been selected by means of the
 parties’ ranking of the members of the panel, the FMCS’s participation in the arbitration
 proceedings shall be terminated. The parties shall divide equally any costs associated with the
 FMCS administering the selection process. The parties shall inform the FMCS of this limited
 role by joint letter at the time the first panel is requested;

 (iv) The parties shall jointly communicate and coordinate all remaining aspects
 of the arbitration (including but not limited to scheduling of hearings, requests for issuance of
 subpoenas and the submission of post-hearing briefs) directly with the neutral arbitrator in the
 manner prescribed in the Act and the Rules and Regulations of the Board.

 (c) Issues in Dispute and Final Offers. Within seven (7) calendar days of the service

 of a demand that the arbitrator selection process commence, the representatives of the parties

 shall meet and develop a written list of those issues that remain in dispute. The representatives

 shall prepare a Stipulation of Issues in Dispute for each party to then execute and for submission

 at the beginning of the arbitration hearing. The parties agree that only those issues listed in the

 Stipulation shall be submitted to the arbitrator for decision and award. It is further agreed that:

 (i) Each party retains the right to object to any issue on the grounds that the
 same constitutes a non-mandatory subject of bargaining; provided, however, that each party
 agrees that it will notify the other of any issue that it regards as a non-mandatory subject of
 bargaining not later than the first negotiation meeting where the issue is substantively discussed.
 Should any disputes arise as to whether a subject is a mandatory subject of bargaining, the
 parties agree to cooperate in obtaining a prompt resolution of the dispute by the Board pursuant
 to the Act and the Rules and Regulations of the Board [Section 1200.14 3]. Either party may file




 {00661036.DOCX v. 1 }
{00870819.DOCX v. 1 }
 Return to Memo




 a petition with the Board’s General Counsel for a declaratory ruling after receiving such notice
 from either party that it regards a particular issue a non-mandatory subject of bargaining.

 (ii) Not less than seven (7) calendar days prior to the date when the first day
 the arbitration hearings are scheduled to commence, the representatives of the parties shall
 simultaneously exchange in person their respective written final offers as to each issue in dispute
 as shown on the Stipulation of Issues in Dispute. The foregoing shall not preclude the parties
 from mutually agreeing to resolve any or all the issues identified as being in dispute through
 further collective bargaining.

 (d) Authority and Jurisdiction of Arbitrator. The parties agree that the neutral

 arbitrator shall not function as a mediator unless mutually agreed by the Village and the Council.

 The arbitrator selected and appointed to resolve any disputes that may exist in these negotiations

 shall have the express authority and jurisdiction to award increases or decreases in wages and, if

 applicable, all other forms of compensation retroactive to May 1, 2025 (or prior to May 1 in any

 subsequent year if the Agreement is automatically renewed pursuant to the provision of Article

 XXI, Section 1) for the negotiations for a successor Agreement, provided that one party has

 served upon the other party a timely Demand for Mediation in accordance with the provisions of

 Section 2(a) above, notwithstanding any delay in the arbitrator selection process that may have

 occurred or any other modification of the impasse procedure described in the Act and the Rules

 and Regulations of the Board as a result of this Agreement. Provided one party has served on the

 other party a timely Demand for Mediation in accordance with the provisions of Section 2(a)

 above, each party expressly waives and agrees not to assert any defense, right or claim that the

 arbitrator lacks the jurisdiction and authority to make such a retroactive award of increased or

 decreased wages or other forms of compensation.

 (e) Discretion and Judgment of Arbitrator. The parties do not intend by this

 Agreement to predetermine or stipulate whether any award of increased or decreased wages or


 {00661036.DOCX v. 1 }
{00870819.DOCX v. 1 }
 Return to Memo




 other forms of compensation should in fact be retroactive, but rather intend to insure that the

 arbitrator has the jurisdiction and authority to so award retroactive increases or decreases,

 provided a timely jurisdiction Demand for Mediation been submitted by one party, should he in

 his discretion and judgment believe such an award is appropriate.

 (f) Conduct of Hearings. The parties agree that all arbitration hearings shall be

 conducted as follows:

 (i) Hearings shall be held in the Village of Skokie, Illinois, at a mutually
 agreed location. Hearings may be conducted outside the Village of Skokie only by written
 mutual agreement;

 (ii) The hearings shall begin within thirty (30) days of the notification from
 the FMCS that the arbitrator selected has accepted the appointment to serve as the neutral
 arbitrator. The parties by mutual written agreement may agree to delay the date of the first
 hearing for a period up to ninety (90) days. The hearings shall be scheduled on mutually agreed
 dates, subject to the reasonable availability of the arbitrator and the representatives of the parties
 and shall be concluded within thirty (30) days of the date of the first hearing;

 (iii) The party requesting arbitration shall proceed with the presentation of its
 case first, followed by the non-requesting party. Each party shall have the right to submit
 rebuttal evidence and testimony, as well as to submit a post-hearing brief. Post-hearing briefs
 shall be simultaneously submitted directly to the arbitrator, with a copy sent to the opposing
 party’s representative, within twenty-one (21) calendar days of the conclusion of the hearings;

 (iv) The arbitrator’s decision and award shall be issued in writing directly to
 each party’s representative within thirty (30) days of the close of hearings or the submission of
 post-hearing briefs, whichever is later;

 (v) A mutually agreed court reporting service shall record and transcribe the
 hearings. The costs of the neutral arbitrator, as well as the costs of the court reporting service
 and a copy of the transcript for the arbitrator shall be divided equally. Each party shall be




 {00661036.DOCX v. 1 }
{00870819.DOCX v. 1 }
 Return to Memo




  responsible for purchasing its own copy of the transcript and for compensating its witnesses and
  representatives.

 Section 3. Remaining Provisions of § 14. Except as expressly provided in this

  Agreement, the parties agree that the provisions of § 14 of the Act and the Rules and

  Regulations of the Board shall govern the resolution of any bargaining impasses and any

  arbitration proceedings that may occur over the negotiations for a successor Agreement.

 SIDE LETTER OF AGREEMENT

 RE: LATERAL HIRES AND REFERRAL BONUSES

WHEREAS, the Village of Skokie ("Village") and the Illinois Fraternal Order of Police
Labor Council ("FOP" or "Union") are parties to a collective bargaining agreement
effective until April 30, 2025, and until a successor agreement is negotiated ("CBA");

WHEREAS, the Village and the Union share a mutual interest in improving the Village's
ability to recruit sworn police officers and retain existing officers;

WHEREAS, in pursuit of their mutual interests, the parties agree to modify the CBA to
provide additional compensation to lateral hires who join the sworn ranks of the Skokie
Police Department with prior law enforcement experience;

 enforcement experience. Prior law enforcement experience shall only include full
 time, continuous experience, and the employee must not have had a break in
 service of more than six (6) months prior to being hired by the Skokie Police
 Department. Breaks in service caused by military service that are substantiated
 by military service records shalf not disqualify an employee from starting at Step

 will advance te-Step-E) the next step upon successful completion of 12 months
 of employment....

 The following officers who were hired as lateral candidates prior to the execution

 The agreement applies exclusively to the employees' starting base salary and
 shall not apply to seniority or longevity within the bargaining unit for any other
 purpose. Vacation seiection under Section 11.4 shall continue to be based on
 the employees' seniority date. Certified, experienced candidates shall not be
 given priority for selection of vacation time over any employees with more
 seniority.

 The Village agrees to implement a two-year pilot program regarding the payment
 of referral bonuses. Under this pilot program, any officer who refers a candidate
 for employment as a sworn police officer (including both lateral hires and original
 appointments) shall be eligible for a $1,000 referral bonus if the candidate receives
 and accepts an offer of employment and actually reports to duty with the Village of
 Skokie Police Department. The following conditions apply to the receipt of a
 referral bonus:




{00636517.DOCXv. 3}
 Return to Memo




 a. Only one (1) referral bonus wili be paid per candidate who commences
 employment with the Village. In the event two (2) or more officers refer the
 same candidate, the $1,000 referral bonus will be split equally between
 those officers.

 b. In order to receive the referral bonus, the candidate must identify the
 referring officer on their application materials and the referring officer must
 notify the Human Resources Department they made the referral no later
 than seven (7) days after the candidate files their application. Candidates
 will not be allowed to amend their applications to identify a referring officer
 after the fact, nor shall they be allowed to withdraw and refile the same
 application in order to add a referring officer.

 c. No officer is expected as part of their job duties to recruit candidates for
 employment. Any officer who elects to refer candidates to the Village of
 Skokie Police Department does so on a strictly voluntary basis. Such
 officers who vofuntarily refer candidates shall only engage in such
 activities during their non duty hours and they shall limit their referral
 activities to friends, relatives, neighbors, and acquaintances as part of the
 employee's social affairs. Accordingly, the parties agree and understand

 Proprietary Purchase of (2) Stryker Cots PP2

Budget Amount & Account 020-6000-407.07-65-OR33033 $15,000.00
 020-6000-407.07-40-OS33035 $15,500.00
 020-6000-407.07-43-OU33036 $29,925.00
 Total $60,425.00




Tabulation:
Stryker Portage, Michigan $74,212.52

Background:


We are requesting the replacement of two of the six Stryker Power-PRO XT stretchers
currently being housed in our ambulances and used by our paramedics for patient
movement and transport. The Stryker Power-Pro XT is no longer being sold and will be
obsolete in the future. The Stryker Power-PRO 2 stretcher is the most current model
stretcher and is compatible with our current power load systems on all of our ambulances.
The Stryker Power-PRO 2 provides enhanced ergonomics to reduce body fatigue during
manual loading and unloading. They will also help minimize the risk of stretcher damage
and prevent medic or patient injuries with innovative bumper-detect! on (Hydraulics stop
cot leg extension when sensing an obstruction). These new features are proven to

 Return to Mgr Rpt




decrease stretcher downtime, lower unexpected costs, and ensure Skokie's ambulances
are always ready for service.


Recommendation:


It is recommended that a contract in the amount of $74,212.52 be awarded to
Stryker. This purchase will make it so that two ambulances for the Skokie Fire
Department have the latest technology in patient movement and personnel safety further
enhancing our Emergency Medical Ser/ices throughout the Village. The Village of
Skokie and the Skokie Fire Department has maintained a longstanding business
relationship with Stryker and has benefitted from their service and reliability.


Comments:
Stryker is the sole producer of this equipment and this stretcher is compatible with our
current patient lifting and loading system that is located on all of our ambulances. They
are currently holding the price at the quoted amount and provided a discount for ordering
a quantity of 2. The $5,787.52 additional funds needed to complete the purchase will
come from the Fire Department EMS operating budget and $8,000.00 trade-in value for
our two oldest Power-Pro XT stretchers (2008) and (2009). Stryker stretchers have also
proven to have significant longevity due to their maintenance and service departments.
The Village has previously worked with and purchased specialized Emergency Medical
Service equipment from Stryker. The overall experience, history, and reference checks
continue to remain extremely positive.

Memorandum
Communications and Engagement Division

TO: John T. Lockerby, Village Manager

CC: Maria Monastero Bueno, Village Seal Committee Co-Chair
 Jasmine Gurneau, Village Seal Committee Co-Chair
 Trustee Khem Khoeun, Village Seal Committee Co-Chair



FROM:
 Patrick Deignan, Director of Communications & Community Engagement

DATE: February 21, 2025

SUBJECT: Village Seal Committee - Recommended Design

Background
In November 2018, the Village ofSkokie Human Relations Commission began its discussion of
the current Village seal, which features Native imagery and has been used since the 1940s. The
discussion, initiated by Commission member Rabbi Amy Memis-Foler, prompted the Human
Relations Commission to periodically review and further examine the cultural appropriateness of
the seal over the next several years. In 2021, Commission member Louis Mercer referred the
Commission to Skokie resident Jasmine Gurneau, Director of Native American & Indigenous
Affairs at Northwestern University's Office of Institutional Diversity and Inclusion, to facilitate
a dialogue with her office and engage with other Native groups.

Following these conversations and research, in 2022, the Village and the Human Relations
Commission initiated a formal review of the Village seal. The review included collaboration with
Skokie Public Library, Skokie Heritage Museum and the Mitchell Museum of the American
Indian (now Gichigamiin Indigenous Nations Museum), as wel! as a comprehensive study of
national, peer-reviewed research and outreach to Chicago-area Native communities, culminating
in a December 2022 listening session.

Following public engagement and extensive research, the Village Seal Review Committee
concluded that the current Village seal is not an accurate representation of the tribes historically
from the Skokie area, and that the sea! is In conflict with how some members of the Native
community would like to be represented. Additionally, the review found that depictions of
Native people can reinforce stereotypes and prejudice. In February 2023, the Village Seal
Review Committee issued a report unanimously recommending that the Village design a new
sea! for use on official documents and materials, representing:
 • The history ofSkokie's land
 • The Native community
 • The possibi lities of Skokie's future
 • The richness ofSkokie's multi-cultural community

 Return to Corp Rpt




The Human Relations Commission established a subcommittee, referred to as the Village Seal
Committee, in June 2023, and tasked it with developing a new Village seal guided by these
recommendations.


Village Seal Committee Members
The Village Seal Committee includes a diverse group of individuals with a range of expertise,
perspectives and experiences. Members include:
 o Maria Monastero Bueno (Co-Chair), Human Relations Commission
 o Jasmine Gurneau (Co-chair), Northwestern University, Director of Native American and
 Indigenous Affairs, Oneida Nation citizen/Menominee descendant
 o Trustee Khem Khoeun (Co-Chair)
 o Sheila Crumrine, Human Relations Commission
 o Thorn DaMario, Appearance Commission
 o Emily England, Manager, Skokie Heritage Museum
 o Joe Hibdon, Rincon Band ofLuiseno Indians
 o Richard Witry, President, Skokie Historical Society
 o Patrick Deignan, Staff
 o Alex Franz, Staff
 o Amanda Sabri, Staff

Process
The Village Seal Committee began its work by first surveying community members on potential
elements and themes to incorporate into a new seal design. The Committee developed a survey
asking individuals to share what they valued about Skokie; what symbols they felt represented
Skokie's past, present and future; what landmarks and natural features represented Skokie; and
what vision they had for Skokie's future. The survey was shared with residents at the
Wednesdays on the Green and Skokie Farmers' Market events, as well as through the Village's
quarterly NewSkokie print newsletter, the Village website, and weekly eNewsIetter. The
Village's diversity, sense of community, recreational and green spaces. Native history, and
excellent services were commonly cited by residents as important attributes to consider in the
design process.


Following this feedback, the Committee established and issued a Request for Qualifications to
solicit artists interested in working on the project, reaching out to local universities, design firms,
arts organizations, the Chicago American Indian Community Collaborative (CAICC), the
Mitchell Museum of the American Indian and the general public. The Committee received and
reviewed nine submissions, Interviewed three finalists, and ultimately selected N/Iarne Smiley,
founder and CEO of Bumper Lanes, a Native American-owned marketing firm, and Mary
Fedorowski, a Skokie resident, artist and owner ofOverbite Studio, to work on the project.

The Committee spent several months working closely with Bumper Lanes and Overbite Studio
to review community feedback, research municipal seal examples, and establish preferences on
artistic style, color, and potential elements to include in the seal design. A wide range of different
elements were explored as the potential focal point of the new seal design based on community
and Committee feedback, including oak, pine and birch trees, native plants and grasses, Village
Hall and other Skokie landmarks, fire/flame, acorn, and water features.

After presenting a draft design to the Village Board in October 2024, the committee launched a
survey to gather further input from the community, receiving more than 300 responses online
and in-person at the Skokie Farmers' Market.


Recommended Design
Following presentation of an initial draft design and consideration of community feedback, the
Committee is recommending a design that incorporates the following element s/features and
updates:

 • Skokie Spirit Flame: The flame represents the Potawatomi (Keepers of the Fire) and
 The Council of Three Fires - Ojibwe (Chippewa), Odawa (Ottawa) and Potawatomi
 tribes historically from the region. The flame design Is inspired by the eternal "Skokie
 Spirit" flame, which has historically been used by the Village and the broader community
 as a symbol representing the collective power and energy devoted to making Skokie a
 better place for everyone. In May 1978, the Village launched a "Skokie Spirit" campaign
 following the attempted Nazi demonstration in Skokie. The communitywide initiative
 highlighted the strength of the diverse community, its collective spirit ofvolunteerism,
 and the advantages of living in Skokie, including its excellent Village services, schools,
 library, and cultural activities.

 Updates from October 2024 design: Following commumty input, the Committee modified
 the shape of the flame element to widen its base ami incorporated more primary red,
 orange andyellow hues to better reflect fire.


 • Cattails: Broadleafcattails are included to symbolize the indigenous plants native to the
 area, including those found at Emily Oaks Nature Center. Cattails provide food, weaving
 material, shelter, medicine, and help clean polluted water.

 No updates were made to the cattaU elements.


 • Wabskoki: The Potawatomi word for marsh, "Wabskoki" describes the land that is now
 Skokle, reflecting a connection to the land and the people historically from the area.
 Potawatomi is a verb-based language, and at a deeper level "Wabskoki" reflects a place
 where medicine Is produced. This connection with medicine and healing further reflects:
 o The scientific achievements and medicines developed at Downtown Skokie's
 Illinois Science + Technology Park
 o Excellent care provided to the community through Skokie Hospital
 o Healing supported by the Illinois Holocaust Museum in Skokie
 o A community that welcomes everyone and combats hate


 Updates from October 2024 design: The spelling was updated from Wabskoke to
 Wabskoki. Potawatomi is a spoken language, and further research determined that both
 speUing options were acceptable and that Wabskoki was m fact more commonly used and
 understood.

 • Colors: The color palette draws inspiration from the area's natural elements.


 Updates from October 2024 design: The palette was updated to better represent fire, with
 more primary red, orange and yellow hues incorporated.


 • Font: The chosen typeface, Minion, ensures accessibility for all readers.

 Updates from October 2024 design: The typeface was updated from the sans-seriffont
 Futvra to the serif font Mimon to provide a more professional and historic appearance.


 • Stained Glass style: The artistic style is inspired by the "Skokie Spirit" stained glass
 artwork found above the Oakton Street entrance to Village Hall, which served to
 welcome and inspire visitors. The stained glass work was created by artist and former
 Village staff member Joe Folise, who also contributed to the development of the Skokie
 Northshore Sculpture Park and many other public art projects over his career.
 o Stained glass reflects a place where light always shine through. It's both a
 window and its own image.
 o The stained glass is a mosaic, which reflects the collection of smaller, individual
 pieces fitting together to create a larger, more beautiful image, representing
 Skokie's cultural diversity.

 No updates were made to the stained glass style.


Further, "1888" was removed from the October 2024 design to provide a better balance to the
outer border of the design by allowing "Village ofSkokie" to be centered at the top, while also
reflecting that the history ofSkokie's land and people began before the Village's incorporation.

Updates to Village Code
The current corporate seal of the Village is described in Section 2.1 of the Village Code as "a
circular disc with the words 'Village ofSkokie, Cook County, Illinois' on the outer circle and the
word "Sea!' in the interior circle." In adopting a new corporate sea!, the following code
amendment should be adopted as well.

Subject: An Update Regarding Village Program to Identify and Assess Bias And Hate
 Incidents as an Indicator of Future Hate Crimes

Introduction

In 2022, Michael Large, Corporation Counsel, Trustee Khem Khoeun and Trustee Keith Robinson
began to research and assess occurrences of bias and hate incidents in the Village. In essence, it
was to focus on occurrences which did not meet or fit the official definition of a hate crime, but
otherwise were critical indicators. As part of this work, experts throughout the United States were
contacted to learn what similar work was conducted in other communities. It was determined that
there were some municipalities which collect data concerning bias and hate incidents, but that very
few programs exist that use such data to intervene or resolve such incidents before they rise to the
level of a hate crime.

As stated in my memo of April 7, 2023, the Village of Skokie is one of America's most diverse
municipalities and the opportunities to enrich and expand our cultural awareness is a strength of our
community and a source of great pride. This diversity, anchored to common values of equity, respect
and goodwill, enhances our social fabric. We must be aware and vigilant to actors and actions that
tear at our complex community and compromise the safety of our community.

As a result of the initial research, Chief Brian Baker and thereafter Chief Jesse Barnes, Michael
Charley, Director of Health and Human Services and Amanda Sabri, Social Worker joined the group
to develop a process to acquire bias and hate incident information from the Skokie Police Department
without any content that would identify any individuals involved.

Based on a commitment to protect the rights and safety of every person regardless of race, religion,
disability, sexual orientation, ethnicity, gender or gender identity and expression, the attached
Procedure for Early Identification and Intervention in Initial Incidents of Hate was developed by the

625280
 Return to Corp Rpt




group. Thereafter, our group brought the Procedure to the Village of Skokie Human Relations
Commission for its input and to ascertain if it was willing to accept a role in its implementation. Having
received its comments which are reflected in the current Program we report that with its concurrence
we will continue to advance the Procedure and create a process for its implementation.

Attached to this Memorandum is the new Procedure for Early Identification and Intervention in Initial
Incidents of Hate.

Village of

SKOKIE
 Procedure for Early Identification and Intervention in Initial Incidents of Hate

 Introduction:


 The Village of Skokie is committed to creating a community that values inclusivity, tolerance, and respect
 for all individuals, embracing the diversity that defines us. As one of America's most diverse municipalities,
 we take pride in our rich cultural tapestry/ which strengthens our social fabric and fosters equity, respect,
 and goodwill. However, we recognize that hate incidents threaten this shared foundation and the safety
 and well-being of our residents. To protect our community, we remain vigilant against actions that
 undermine our values of diversity/ equality, and mutual respect.


 This Procedure outlines our stance on hate crimes and incidents and provides guidelines for reporting,
 investigating, and addressing such incidents within the Village of Skokie. It is not enough to react and
 investigate when a hate crime is reported. As a community we seek to be proactive and use education as
 an intervention tool when signs of hate are demonstrated. This Procedure is designed to identify,
 anticipate and intervene in initial incidents of hate as indicators of possible future hate crimes. Drawing
 on research from the City of Los Angeles and from UCLA Berkley and an initial report to the Village of
 Skokie Board in March of 2022 by Corporation Counsel, Michael M. Lorge, Village Trustees Khoeun and
 Robinson a committee including Village of Skokie Trustees/the Corporation Counsel, Health and Human
 Services and the Skokie Police Department continued its research and work which was detailed in a
 Memorandum from Corporation Counsel dated April 7, 2023 entitled A Proposal for Early Intervention in
 Bias and Hate Incidents. Upon favorable response from the Village Board/ the Committee expanded to
 include representatives of the Human Services Commission. The Human Relations Commission reviewed
 this Procedure and its recommendations are included. The Human Relations Commission will be an
 integral part of the Procedure.


 Procedure Goals


 To expand our practice and ability to protect the rights and safety of every person regardless of race/
 color, creed, religion, ancestry, gender, gender identity/ sexual orientation, physical or mental disability,
 citizenship/ immigration status, or national origin by listening to each other and responding for each other
 so we are intuitively present when signs of trauma might occur in our community. For the Village of
 Skokie to be on guard and respond quickly to acts of hate when they first appear including influences,
 jokes, behaviors and public speech which are gateways to Hate Crime. This Procedure establishes a
 program to identify, anticipate and intervene in hate incidents as a precursor to Hate Crimes in Skokie. It
 relies on individuals reporting incidents of hate and using the Skokie Police Departments data collection
 and information about incidents and occurrences that might not meet the definition of hate crime for
 various legal reasons but are critical indicators where people might be prone to such behavior, leading to
 efforts to repair and transform the behavior through education, honest discussion/ sensitizing experiences
 and interaction.


 Definitions:

 Hate crime: A person commits hate crime when, by reason of the actual or perceived race/ color,
 creed/ religion, ancestry, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, physical or mental disability,
 Return to Corp Rpt




 citizenship, immigration status, or national origin of another individual or group of individuals,
 regardless of the existence of any other motivating factor or factors, he or she commits assault/
 battery, aggravated assault/ intimidation, stalking, cybersta Iking, misdemeanor theft, criminal
 trespass to residence, misdemeanor criminal damage to property/ criminal trespass to vehicle,
 criminal trespass to real property, mob action, disorderly conduct, transmission of obscene
 messages, harassment by telephone, or harassment through electronic communications as these
 crimes are defined in Sections 12-1,12-2,12-3{a), 12-7.3,12-7.5, 16-1,19-4, 21-1, 21-2, 21-3, 25-
 1, 26-1, 26.5-1, 26.5-2, paragraphs (a)(l), (a)(2), and (a)(3) of Section 12-6, and paragraphs (a)(2)
 and (a)(5) of Section 26.5-3 of this Code/ respectively (Hate crime/ 720 ILCS 5/12-7.1.)

 Hate or Bias Incident: An action, behavior, or hostile expression motivated by hate or by another
 person's actual or perceived protected class, meaning their race, color, creed, religion, ancestry,
 gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, physical or mental disability, citizenship, immigration
 status, or national origin but which, for one or more reasons, is not a crime. Examples of hate
 incidents include: Name-calling, insults, displaying hate material on your own property, posting
 hate material that does not result in property damage, distribution of materials with hate
 messages in public places. The U.S. Constitution allows hate speech as long as it does not interfere
 with the civil rights of others. While these acts are certainly hurtful, they do not rise to the level of
 criminal violations and thus may not be prosecuted. However, it Is important to note that these
 incidents have a traumatic impact on the victims as well as on the community at large.

 actual entitlement funds are 80% or less than the original budget amount.
 • A need to add projects, activities, and/or funding to an Annual Action Plan that were not
 part of the previously approved plan.


A substantial amendment includes a review and approval of the draft amendment, a public
hearing, and an advertised period for public comment.


Funds allocated will allow many subgrantees to continue their projects until the start of the new
Program Year in October, 2025. A breakdown of items within this substantial amendment
include the following projects from previously approved subgrantees:


 • CJE SeniorLife is requesting an updated scope of work and funding request.
