 Corporation Counsel

FROM: _____________________________
 John T. Lockerby, Village Manager

DATE: July 1, 2021

SUBJECT: MANAGER’S REPORT
 BOARD MEETING OF TUESDAY, JULY 6, 2021


* A. Annual Maintenance Contract for Cisco Network Infrastructure – CDW,
 Chicago, Illinois - $24,942.42.
 The Village of Skokie uses the services of Cisco Networking Infrastructure to
 provide networking capability for the entire Village. At this time, the annual
 hardware/software maintenance and support agreement is up for renewal. Staff
 recommends entering into a contract with CDW to provide the necessary annual
 maintenance. I concur with staff’s recommendation and respectfully request
 Mayor and Board approval of a contract in the amount of $24,942.42 to be
 awarded to CDW.

* B. CentralSquare Public Safety Software Maintenance Contract - CentralSquare,
 Lake Mary, Florida - $141,724.37.
 In FY2012, the Village contracted with SunGard Corporation for the licensing and
 use of SunGard Public Safety System for Computer Aided Dispatch, Records
 Management, Mobile Computer Terminal and Mobile Field Reporting modules. In
 2018, the name of the company was changed to CentralSquare. The software
 maintenance contract for these public safety modules is up for renewal. Since all
 the software is provided and maintained by CentralSquare, the contract will be a
 sole source procurement. I concur with staff’s recommendation and respectfully
 request Mayor and Board approval of a contract in the amount of $141,724.37 to
 be awarded to CentralSquare.

* C. Request to Sell Surplus Vehicles and Equipment.
 The Public Works Director has requested authorization to sell at auction certain
 surplus vehicles and equipment. These vehicles and equipment will be auctioned
 through the Northwest Municipal Conference (NWMC) Auction, which has proven
 to be successful in the past. The Village currently has eight police vehicles, eight
 public works vehicles, one fire vehicle and some small obsolete landscape
 equipment that are being replaced or removed from the fleet. I concur with these
 recommendations and respectfully request Mayor and Board approval for these
 vehicles and equipment to be sold at the NWMC auction.

13 March 11, 2020 by Governor Pritzker; and

To: Mayor and Board of Trustees
From: Paul Luke, Chairman
Case: 2021-18P: Street Vacation
 Alley between 8057 Niles Center Road and 8052 Elmwood Avenue


PLAN COMMISSION ANALYSIS
At its June 3, 2021 meeting, the Plan Commission heard the request of Haben
Properties, LLC, for the vacation of the alley between 8057 Niles Center Road and 8052
Elmwood Avenue in a CX Core Mixed-use district. The alley is wholly surrounded by
private property and is a residual piece of right-of-way from previous alley vacations.
There was only one question from the commission regarding the current use of the
alley, which is paved and looks like a driveway in the funeral home’s parking lot. It is used
for funeral home vehicles and the Village’s garbage and recycling trucks.
The petitioner has added the Village’s standard easement language to the Plat of
Vacation and provided the attached updated, satisfying some of the conditions that
were recommended by the Commission.

INTERESTED PARTIES
Legal notice was properly posted, advertised, and delivered to all property owners in
the area of the subject site as prescribed by the Zoning Chapter. No interested parties
spoke regarding the case.

PLAN COMMISSION RECOMMENDATIONS AND VOTING
The Plan Commission recommends by a vote of 6 ayes and 0 nays, with 1 member
absent and 2 vacancies, that the petitioner’s request to vacate the alley between 8057
Niles Center Road and 8052 Elmwood Avenue in a CX Core Mixed-use zoning district be
APPROVED, subject to the attached recommended conditions.
