 contribute their time, wisdom, and experience to our community; and


 Whereas, communities benefit when people of all ages, abilities, and
 backgrounds have the opportunity to participate and live independently;
 and

 Whereas, Skokie recognizes the need to create a community that offers
 the services and supports older adults may need to make choices about

SUBJECT: MANAGER'S REPORT
 BOARD MEETING OF MONDAY, MAY 1, 2023

* A. Purchase of Two Street Department Dump Trucks Replacement and One
 Dump Body Replacement - Lindco Equipment, IVIerriville, Indiana - $653,287.
 The FY2023 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) budget contains funding for the
 purchase of two (2) dump trucks, underbody plow, front plow and spreader and
 one (1) dump body replacement. The existing two vehicles have mileage in
 excess of 75,000 miles and are used by the Streets and Alleys Division. I concur
 with staff's recommendation and respectfully request Mayor and Board approval
 of a contract in the amount of $653,287 to be awarded to Lindco Equipment, the
 lowest responsive and responsible bidder.

* B. Excess__Liability Coverage for Fiscal Year 2024 - Marsh/Allied World
 Assurance Company.
 The Village of Skokie's excess commercial liability coverage policy expires on May
 1, 2023. The excess liability commercial marketplace remains the most volatile of
 all segments within the public entity insurance market, with many carriers
 reducing capacity or exiting the market altogether. Staff recommendation is
 acceptance of Marsh Old Repubiic/Genesis/Allied World Assurance Company
 quotation of $13 million excess combined coverage of the Village's $2 million
 retention at a premium of $565,750. Current market conditions are challenging,
 but the Village's self-insured program as structured has demonstrated for decades
 to be the most cost-effective approach in managing Village liability. t concur with
 staff's recommendation that a contract be awarded to Marsh/Allied World
 Assurance Company in the amount of $565,750. Mayor and Board approval is
 respectfully requested.

* C. Adoption of Ratified FOP Contract,
 The Board has previously reviewed in executive session the principle issues of a
 labor contract with Local Lodge #68 of the Fraternal Order of Police (FOP), which
 covers 88 Skokie Police Officers.

 Assistant Village Manager Nicholas Wyatt has outlined the major provisions of this
 contract in the attached memorandum. The police officers have approved the
 contract. I respectfully request Mayor and Board approval of the contract.

The CIP includes funding for the replacement of two (2) dump trucks^ underbody plow,
front plow and spreader and one (1) dump body replacement, for the Streets and Alley
Division. The trucks to be replaced, units #142 and #149, are used for hauling stone for
alley grading, asphalt for roadway repairs and dirt for stumping operations. These
vehicles are also fitted with a plows and salt spreaders to assist m snow and ice control

 operations. Unit #142 is a 2010 International tandem axle dump truck which currently has
 mileage more than 75,000 miles. Unit #149 is a 2009 hitemational single axle dump truck
 which currently has mileage more than 75,000 miles These vehicles have been subjected
 to heavy load hauling, which exposes the frames and suspension systems to fatigue.
 Additionally, they have been exposed to the harsh elements of winter, road salt, and have
 significant corrosion of the truck dump bodies. These units will be replaced with two (2),
 2024 Western Star's, I tandem and 1 single axle, with stainless steel dump bodies, plow
 and hydraulics.

Unit # 140 is a 2010 International single axle with its chassis in good operating condition,
however the dump body has seen its useful work limit due to large amounts of rust and
holes due to winter salting operations. Because the chassis still has remaining useful life,
we are proposing to replace only the dump body. When the chassis reaches its useful life,
we will then repurpose this dump body on its replacement chassis. The new dump bodies
will all be built with stainless steel to inhibit rust during salting operations.

The Village has not purchased tmcks fi'om Lindco Equipment Sales in the past, but staff
does not foresee any issues.

Risk Management Division

TO: J^hn T. Lockerby, Vjllage Manager

FROM: V'^^ C ^C_j<T
 Debra L. Prottsman, Risk Manager

DATE: April 26, 2023

SUBJECT: Excess Liability Coverage - Fiscal Year 2024
 Village Board Agenda - May 1, 2023


The Village of Skokie's excess commercial liability coverage through Marsh / Allied World Assurance
Company expires May 1, 2023. The Village last year secured commercial coverage from Marsh / Allied
World Assurance Company of $13 million excess coverage; this is above the Village's own $3 million
retention for a combined total of $16 million in liability coverage.

The excess liability commercial marketplace remains the most volatile of all segments within the public
entity insurance market, with many carriers reducing capacity or exiting the market altogether. Market
stress factors are many including tort reform and tort caps, financial market uncertainties, societal trends
including gun violence, demonstrations and protests against governments, social inflation including trends
toward increased litigation and polarization in social media and news reporting, and jury awards which are
drastically increasing especially in Cook County. As such, many public entities with large limits are having
difficulties maintaining coverage limits within budgetary constraints, some without any reasonable
alternatives.


The Village through broker Marsh USA, Inc. approached incumbent Allied World Assurance Company
relative to renewal quotes for fiscal year 2024. Allied World advised that they are reducing capacity within
the public sector market and would not be renewing the program. Given the challenging market, Marsh
explored the possibility of layering coverage including lowering retention back to $2M instead of the current
$3M (raised last year). Marsh approached eight (8) excess markets including Homesite, Berkley Public
Risk, Lexington, Safety National, MunichRe America, Hudson Insurance Co. and Travelers. Several
quoted, but law enforcement was excluded or written on a monoline format; other carriers cited that they
would not write excess coverage for public entities within Cook County or declined quotes all together given
current market uncertainties and desire to reduce capacity.

Options are limited given current market conditions. Marsh USA, Inc. secured quotes from three reputable
carriers to maintain $15M in total coverage for the Village. This includes restoring the Village's $2M self-
insured retention, followed by $5M excess coverage with Old Republic Specialty Insurance Underwriters
at a premium of $319,000; followed by $5M excess with Genesis Excess at a premium of $176,750; and a
final $3M excess layer with Allied Assurance at a premium of $70,000. In total, Skokie maintains liability
coverage of $13M excess of the Village's $2M self-insured retention at a premium of $565,750 or 125
percent change over fiscal year 2023,
 Return to Mgr Rpt




The Village wij! continue to explore alternative approaches for risk transfer as is routinely done. Current
market conditions are challenging, but the ViSiage's self-Ensured program as structured has demonstrated
for decades to be the most cost-effective approach in managing Viilage iiabiiity. The Village wili continue
to complete due-diiigence review that the current structure is still the most cost-effective option moving
forward.


Finaliy, as you may recall, the carrier conducted a lengthy risk assessment audit of all Village operations
several years ago and received an overall excellent rating reflective of Skokie's demonstrated commitment
to standardized operational policies and procedures, commitment to safety, continuous training, consistent
safety expectations and accountabiiity. The VEflage's financial ratings and sound business practices
coupled with the independent accreditation of the Village's operational departments of Fire, Police and
Public Works is also critical in providing underwriters confidence that practices are in place to minimize the
Village's risk; this is reflective in that Skokie was even quoted coverage given the challenges of the current
excess market.

Recommendation ~ i recommend acceptance of the Marsh - 0!d Republic / Genesis / Allied Worid
Assurance Company, Inc. quotation for $13 million excess combined coverage of the Village's $2 million
retention at a premium of $565,750. Coverage is for fiscal year 2024, a 12-month period starting May 1,
2023. Funds are budgeted in fiscal year 2024 self-insured program to cover this expenditure. Village
Manager and Village Board approval is respectfuiiy requested,

 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

{00756395.DOCX v. 2 }
 7
 Return to FOP 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)
 calendar days following the meeting.

 Section 5.3. Arbitration. If the grievance is not settled in Step 4 and the Council wishes

 to appeal the grievance from Step 4 of the grievance procedure, the Council may refer the

 grievance to arbitration, as described below, within twenty-one (21) calendar days of receipt of

 the Village’s written answer as provided to the Council at Step 4:

 (a) The parties shall attempt to agree upon an arbitrator within seven (7) calendar days after
 receipt of the notice of referral. In the event the parties are unable to agree upon the
 arbitrator within said seven (7) day period, the parties shall jointly request the Federal
 Mediation and Conciliation Service or the American Arbitration Association to submit a
 panel of five (5) arbitrators. Each party retains the right to reject one panel in its entirety
 and request that a new panel be submitted. Both the Village and the Council shall have
 the right to strike two (2) names from the panel. The party requesting arbitration shall
 strike the first two names; the other party shall then strike two names. The person
 remaining shall be the arbitrator.


{00756395.DOCX v. 2 }

 Return to FOP Memo




 (b) The arbitrator shall be notified of his/her selection and shall be requested to set a time and
 place for the hearing, subject to the availability of Council and Village representatives.

 (c) The Village and the Council shall have the right to request the arbitrator to require the
 presence of witnesses or documents. The Village and the Council retain the right to
 employ legal counsel.

 (d) The arbitrator shall submit his/her decision in writing within thirty (30) calendar days
 following the close of the hearing or the submission of briefs by the parties, whichever is
 later.

 (e) More than one grievance may be submitted to the same arbitrator where both parties
 mutually agree in writing.

 (f) The fees and expenses of the arbitrator and the cost of a written transcript, if any, shall be
 divided equally between the Village and the Council; provided, however, that each party
 shall be responsible for compensating its own representatives and witnesses.

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

 amend, modify, nullify, ignore, add to, or subtract from the provisions of this Agreement. The

 arbitrator shall consider and decide only the question of fact as to whether there has been a

 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

 and applicable court decisions. Any decision or award of the arbitrator rendered within the

 limitations of this Section 5.4 shall be final and binding upon the Village, the Council and the

 employees covered by this Agreement.

 Section 5.5. Time Limit for Filing. No grievance shall be entertained or processed

 unless it is submitted at Step 1 within ten (10) calendar days after the first occurrence of the

{00756395.DOCX v. 2 }
 9
 Return to FOP Memo




 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

 this Article. Moreover, no action, statement, agreement, settlement, or representation made by

 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.

 ARTICLE VI

 NO STRIKE-NO LOCKOUT

 Section 6.1. No Strike. Neither the Council nor any officers, agents or employees

 covered by this Agreement will instigate, promote, sponsor, engage in, or condone any strike,

 sympathy strike, slowdown, sitdown, concerted stoppage of work, concerted refusal to perform

 overtime, concerted, abnormal and unapproved enforcement procedures or policies or work to

 the rule situation, mass absenteeism, or any other intentional interruption or disruption of the

 operations of the Village, regardless of the reason for so doing. Any or all employees who

 violate any of the provisions of this Article maybe discharged or otherwise disciplined by the

 Village. Each employee who holds the position of representative, officer or steward of the

 Agreement and to direct them to return to work.

 Section 6.2. No Lockout. The Village will not lock out any employees during the term

 of this Agreement as a result of a labor dispute with the Council.

 Section 6.3. Penalty. The only matter which may be made the subject of a grievance

 concerning disciplinary action imposed for an alleged violation of Section 6.1 is whether or not

 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

 this Article.

 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



{00756395.DOCX v. 2 }

 Return to FOP 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 nine 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 calendar year 2021
 ** 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., 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 nine (9) scheduled days off, the employee must work his full scheduled day
{00756395.DOCX v. 2 }
 27
 Return to FOP 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

 compensation; there shall be no carryover from one fiscal year to the next.

 When an employee is called in from his regularly scheduled day off to work on the actual

 day of the holiday, the employee shall be paid time and one-half his regular straight-time hourly

 rate of pay for all hours worked on said holiday outside of the employee’s regularly scheduled

 hours of work.

 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

 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,

 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.

 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.

 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

 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

 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



{00756395.DOCX v. 2 }
 34
 Return to FOP 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

 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.

 the provisions(s) concerned.

 Section 17.2. Medical Examinations. If there is any question concerning an employee’s

 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.

 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

{00756395.DOCX v. 2 }
 39
 Return to FOP 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

{00756395.DOCX v. 2 }
 40
 Return to FOP 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.


{00756395.DOCX v. 2 }

 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.




{00756395.DOCX v. 2 }

 Return to FOP 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)

 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.


{00756395.DOCX v. 2 }
 44
 Return to FOP 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


{00756395.DOCX v. 2 }
 48
 Return to FOP 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

{00756395.DOCX v. 2 }
 49
 Return to FOP 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, 2022 (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 }
{00756395.DOCX v. 2 }
 Return to FOP 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 }
{00756395.DOCX v. 2 }
 Return to FOP 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 }
{00756395.DOCX v. 2 }
 Return to FOP 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, 2022 (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 }
{00756395.DOCX v. 2 }
 Return to FOP 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 }
{00756395.DOCX v. 2 }
 Return to FOP 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.

FROM:
 Micfia^fM. L^e, Cprpq(rati6n Coutis^l

DATE: April 18,2023

SUBJECT: May 1, 2023 Corporation Counsel's Report

*A. Ordinance, Chapter 22 Amendment, Building Construction and Fire Safety

 Item A is on the consent agenda for second reading and adoption. The first reading was on
 March 7, 2023.



 This ordinance will amend various sections of Chapter 22 of the Village Code. After
 the most recent review of various building and fire safety codes that were updated, both the
 Director of Community Development and the Fire Chief had additional changes, specifically
 effecting building construction and materials. These are necessary to strengthen fire
 protection in multi-family and mixed-use properties referenced in the International Building
 Code ("IBC") 2021 and the International Residential Code ("IRC") 2021, the National
 Electrical Code ("NEC") and International Mechanical Code ("IMC").

 Included in the changes is limiting the size of Type V construction buildings and enhancing

 AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 22 OF THE SKOKIE VILLAGE
 CODE PERTAINING TO BUILDING CONSTRUCTION AND FIRE
 SAFETY

 1 WHEREAS, Chapter 22 of the Skokie Village Code provides for building and
2 construction regulations, including the adoption and specification of numerous life safety codes;
3 and
4 WHEREAS, the Village enforces numerous building construction codes to protect the
5 health and safety of residents and businesses in the Village. These codes are generally state
6 and national codes that are modified by the Village to address local conditions and special
7 enforcement needs. These codes and amendments thereto, are updated on a regular basis
8 to address changes in building construction and materials; and
9
10 WHEREAS, during the recent comprehensive review of the various building codes and
n property codes utilized by the Village by the Community Development Department and the Fire
12 Department, several amendments and updated code editions have been recommended,
13 subsequently adopted and implemented; and
14
15 WHEREAS, staff from both Departments have determined that additional changes to
16 the Village Code are necessary to strengthen fire protection codes in multi-family and mixed-
17 use properties referenced in the International Building Code ("!BC") 2021 and the
is International Residential Code ("IRC") 2021, the National Electrical Code ("NEC") and
19 International Mechanical Code ("IMC"); and
20
21 WHEREAS, among the modifications is limiting the size of Type V construction
22 buildings and enhance the fire sprinkler protection in larger residential buildings with Type V
23 construction. Historicaily, most building practices in the Village of Skokie have utilized Type
24 I ~ Fire Resistive, Type !i Non-Combustible, and Type Hi - Ordinary Construction, which
25 promotes sustainabiiity, enhances life-safety, and reduces risk of fire spread (especially in
26 high density urban settings). Type V is considered wood frame and lightweight construction
27 and is the lowest class of construction allowed by the IBC and IRC; and
28
29 WHEREAS, primarily among the issues associated with wood frame construction are
30 the allowance for rapid fire growth, and a significant threat level for firefighter and occupant
31 safety, due to its tendency to collapse when exposed to fire; and
32
33 WHEREAS, additionally, Type V construction does not provide a sustainable solution
34 for building construction, since it is not designed to last for as long of a duration as other types
35 of construction identified in the IBC and IRC; and

4 building standards and offer clarity to the Code; and
 5
 e WHEREAS, the Community Development Director and Fire Chief have recommended
 7 various amendments be adopted, as outlined in their Memorandum, dated March 3, 2023; and

PLAN COMMISSION REPORT
Plan Commission Council Chambers, 7:30 PM, April 17, 2023



To: Mayor and Board of Trustees
From: Paul Luke, Plan Commission Chairperson
Re: Affordable Housing Policy Discussion

In December 2022, the Plan Commission was directed by the Village Board to develop
draft affordable housing policy recommendations for the Board’s review and
consideration. In furtherance of this effort, the Plan Commission convened the
following meetings:
  Thursday, January 19, 2023: Listening Session that included representatives
 from local and regional organizations engaged in affordable housing
 development and advocacy. Presentations from this meeting can be viewed at
 www.skokie.org/housing.
  Thursday, February 2, 2023: Public Hearing #1 summarized ideas and concepts
 associated with affordable housing from the Listening Session for further
 discussion by the Plan Commission and the public.
  Thursday, March 2, 2023: Public Hearing #2 refined goal statements associated
 with the previous affordable housing discussion and included more discussion of
 the potential strategies to accomplish the goals.
  Thursday, March 16, 2023: Final meeting of the Plan Commission to review
 affordable housing materials and draft goals and provide action on a
 recommendation to the Village Board for an affordable housing policy
 recommendation.
The attached materials include the entirety of the Plan Commission’s work on
affordable housing. The Plan Commission’s draft policy recommendation is the
following:
 The Village supports providing affordable and attainable housing for all who
 seek to live in Skokie and remains consistent with the Village’s Consolidated
 Plan (Program Year 2020-24) that the Village will, “Ensure housing is affordable,
 accessible, and sustainable.” The following goal-based framework further
 expands this policy recommendation:
 Goal A: Study and assess the ongoing supply and demand for inclusive
 affordable housing in Skokie;
 Goal B: Preserve, protect, and improve Skokie’s existing affordable housing to
 be accessible and sustainable;
 Goal C: Reduce “jobs/housing mismatch” and ensure that housing is available
 to all of Skokie’s workers;




VOSDOCS-#609838-v1-Plan_Commission_Report_on_Affordable_Housing 1
 Return to Housing Memo




 Goal D: Create new opportunities to increase Skokie’s supply of affordable
 housing; and
 Goal E: Support local and region-wide partner efforts to promote and expand
 fair housing efforts.

The Plan Commission further discussed the development of a potential inclusionary
housing ordinance for the Village. The parameters discussed are enclosed in the
attached materials. The Plan Commission was supportive of the eventual adoption of
an inclusionary housing ordinance to guide and require the inclusion of affordable
housing in new developments.


Comments from the public were provided at each meeting and were also submitted in
written form to housing@skokie.org. The comments provided since January are
compiled into a single document also attached this report.


PLAN COMMISSION RECOMMENDATIONS AND VOTING
The Plan Commission recommended, by a vote of 7 ayes, 0 nays, and 2 absent, that
the packet of materials in support of the aforementioned affordable housing goals be
presented with a positive recommendation to the Village Board on April 17, 2023.

Village of Skokie Affordable Housing Policy Goals - DRAFT
The Village supports providing affordable and attainable housing for all who seek to live in
Skokie. Skokie’s goals for affordable housing are well-documented in the Village’s
Consolidated Plan (Program Year 2020-24) for Community Development Block Grant funding,
“[E]nsure housing is affordable, accessible, and sustainable.” The following updated
framework1 builds on the goal statement from the Village’s Consolidated Plan:

Goal A: Study and assess the ongoing supply and demand for inclusive affordable housing in
 Skokie.
Goal B: Preserve, protect, and improve Skokie’s existing affordable housing to be accessible
 and sustainable;
Goal C: Reduce “jobs/housing mismatch” and ensure that housing is available to all of
 Skokie’s workers;
Goal D: Create new opportunities to increase Skokie’s supply of affordable housing; and
Goal E: Support local and region-wide partner efforts to promote and expand fair housing
 efforts.

GOAL A: STUDY, ASSESS, AND REPORT ON THE ONGOING SUPPLY AND
DEMAND FOR INCLUSIVE AFFORDABLE HOUSING IN SKOKIE
To implement this goal, the following options could be considered:

  Study how Skokie’s affordable housing changes over time. Understanding Skokie’s
 affordable housing needs, changing demographic profile, and available housing stock is
 an important component of affordable housing policy.

  Update the Village’s Comprehensive Plan. The Village’s Comprehensive Plan is a key
 document that guides and informs the Village’s policies and work on numerous items
 associated with housing.

  Monitor Best Practices and Work with Regional Housing Experts. There are many
 resources to support new ideas and innovative practices for supporting affordable
 housing. Based on Skokie’s demographic profile and housing stock, Regional Housing
 Solutions has identified a series of strategies and recommended opportunities for
 enhancing and increasing the availability of affordable housing in Skokie. Several of the
 strategies (like municipal rehabilitation programs) identified in this document are
 suggested through this tool.

  Report on affordable housing work. Provide regular information on progress to
 reaching affordable housing goals and strategies. Utilize information to further educate
 the public on the importance and benefits of affordable housing in the community and
 regional work.



1 Previous framework for affordable housing goals presented funding as a goal. This is now a potential

opportunity area for implementing the goals.




VOSDOCS-#609838-v1-Plan_Commission_Report_on_Affordable_Housing 4
 Return to Housing Memo




GOAL B: PRESERVE, PROTECT, AND IMPROVE SKOKIE’S EXISTING
AFFORDABLE HOUSING
This goal focuses on investment in existing units with attention to make sure units are safe,
sustainable, and accessible. To implement this goal, the following options could be considered:

  Bolster Existing Repair Programs. An emerging component of affordable housing
 policy is to support home repair programs that assist in keeping residents (particularly
 older populations) in their homes and reduce the high costs created from deferred
 maintenance. They also can help people “age in place” through making parts of their
 home safer and accessible for older adults or people with disabilities. Additionally, these
 maintenance and repair programs can focus on aspects of sustainability – helping
 weatherize homes and reduce energy costs, which often can significantly contribute to
 housing costs. A recent Chicago Tribune Op-Ed highlighted the need for housing
 repair/rehabilitation programs as an alternative to home ownership programs. These
 programs preserve the housing stock and ensure that existing housing is available for
 future generations.




 DePaul University’s Institute for Housing Studies has collected a wealth of information
 from the US Census and the Cook County Assessor’s office. Based on this snapshot,
 trends in housing type are visible. Skokie’s housing typology has a large portion of
 multi-family housing that are comprised of two- and four-unit structures. These represent
 a unique opportunity to improve smaller-scale housing that supports the neighborhood
 character of Skokie.

  Study Feasibility of Establishing a Skokie Land Trust. According to 2020 Census
 data, the Village of Skokie had approximately 24,067 households with 72.4% of them
 being owner-occupied. The remaining 27.6% were non-owner-occupied (or rental)
 households. Continuing to support pathways to homeownership and ensure that
 moderate-income households have access to homeownership opportunities is important.
 Creating community land trusts in which the land and the housing structure are separated,
 and homebuyers are able to purchase and sell the housing structure without the extra land
 value is a unique opportunity. Additionally, homebuyer classes and financial literacy



VOSDOCS-#609838-v1-Plan_Commission_Report_on_Affordable_Housing 5
 Return to Housing Memo




 counseling will also help families get on the path to homeownership. Pursuing this
 opportunity is in line with work neighboring communities do to support homeownership
 opportunities.

  Create a residential vacant home registry. Vacant homes are scattered throughout
 Skokie and have the potential to become problematic and a nuisance to the neighborhood.
 They generate complaints (e.g. overgrown vegetation, security issues, potential flooding,
 etc.). As the deferred maintenance on these homes escalates, major building components
 fail and homes are often prospective teardown or rendered cost prohibitive to re-occupy.
 The number of vacant housing units has grown slightly over the past 20 years. According
 to analysis by the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning, the percentage of Skokie’s
 vacant housing units in 2000 was 2%; based on information from the 2020 Census, this
 has grown to 6.8%.2 Study the feasibility of adding a fee to buildings that qualify to be
 considered as vacant (not actively marketed and not occupied by people).

  Code Enforcement of Rental Units. While rental properties represent 27.6% of the
 total housing population, they are a key component of the Village’s housing landscape
 and are often concentrated in areas of the community. The Village has established
 additional monitors to support rental housing, but the Village could explore new avenues
 of working with rental property owners to improve the housing stock.

GOAL C: REDUCE “JOBS/HOUSING MISMATCH” AND ENSURE THAT HOUSING
IS AVAILABLE TO ALL OF SKOKIE’S WORKER

The importance of making sure that good jobs are located near housing and housing is located
near job centers has been an important cornerstone of workforce development and housing
policy for decades. The spatial relationship to job seekers to where jobs are available is a
function of both available job sites near residential areas, adding housing units near employment
centers, and accessible transportation options. To implement this goal, the following could be
considered:

  Work with Major Employers to Understand Skokie’s Jobs/Housing Mismatch.
 Understanding where workers in Skokie live is an opportunity to examine how new
 housing might be made more attractive for workers (e.g. size of units, affordability levels,
 etc.). It also is an opportunity to work with employers to help them locate more workers
 locally in Skokie.

GOAL D: CREATE NEW OPPORTUNITIES TO INCREASE SKOKIE’S
AFFORDABLE HOUSING SUPPLY
Building on the work existing supply of Skokie’s affordable housing, new opportunities to create
new affordable housing represent an opportunity to create mixed income communities
throughout Skokie’s neighborhoods. To implement this goal, the following options could be
considered:

VOSDOCS-#609838-v1-Plan_Commission_Report_on_Affordable_Housing 6
 Return to Housing Memo




  Establish an Inclusionary Housing Ordinance. An Inclusionary Housing Ordinance
 will require certain new developments to include affordable housing. It is important to
 strike a balance between encouraging new development, while also bringing new
 affordable development to Skokie. Concepts range from requiring on-site units within
 new developments to paying a fee in lieu of providing on-site units at a development.
 Two attachments are related to this strategy; the first include discussion of potential
 parameters for an inclusionary housing ordinance; the second includes a summary of
 inclusionary housing ordinances in neighboring and regional communities and concepts
 for Skokie’s potential ordinance. In summary, eight communities were identified that
 have inclusionary housing ordinances in place and were studied further to determine their
 impact and effectiveness. These communities include Arlington Heights, Deerfield,
 Evanston, Highland Park, Lake Forest, Northbrook, Oak Park and St. Charles.

  Update Zoning Code to Allow Accessory Dwelling Units. Accessory dwelling units
 are “coach houses” or smaller apartments within an existing home or part of a detached
 structure. They can serve as housing for caregivers, extended family members, or be
 leased to help bring new income to properties to keep homes affordable for property
 owners. Approximately one-third of the land use in Skokie is devoted to single-family
 housing units3, the creation of new smaller housing units supports utilizing this land for
 new housing in a “landlocked” community.

  Affordable Housing Demolition Fee. The demolition of homes or significant removal
 of housing results in fewer homes available to households considered low- to moderate-
 income or “workforce.” Homes that are demolished or significantly demolished and
 rehabilitated are sometimes two to three times more expensive than prior to renovation.

  Underutilized Parcels. The Village of Skokie is an inner-ring suburban community and
 is mostly built out. As a result, the supply of “buildable land” for new housing is
 constrained. One way the Village can assist the private market is to analyze where
 changes in land use makes sense to spur redevelopment. Underutilized lots, particularly
 parking lots, especially near employment centers, transit stations, or in the downtown
 Skokie are opportunities to open up new space to provide housing while eliminating less-
 desirable uses. The adopted Environment and Sustainability Plan, Land Use and Housing
 Section (LH1-2) states an action item of identifying underutilized paved areas and
 incentivizing conversion to sustainable green space or infill development.

GOAL E: SUPPORT LOCAL AND REGION-WIDE PARTNER EFFORTS TO
PROMOTE AND EXPAND FAIR HOUSING EFFORTS
To implement this goal, the following could be considered:

  Promote Cook County’s Residential Tenant-Landlord Ordinance (RTLO). Cook
 County adopted a RTLO that covers all property in suburban Cook County. As a result,
 Skokie is currently covered by this ordinance. The Cook County RTLO outlines the rights

 Return to Housing Memo




 that both tenants and landlords have in a residential rental agreement. It creates a uniform
 leasing experience in most of Cook County (since the ordinance is similar to Chicago, it is
 nearly completely uniform). A few key highlights include: 1) Creates protections around
 the enforcement and activity around an eviction (i.e. no lockouts); 2) Establishes renter
 rights (i.e. essential services like water, gas, and electricity, compliance with local building
 codes, temperature settings, repair in timely manner, etc.); and 3) Identifies renter
 responsibilities (i.e. keep unit in safe working order, remove garbage, allow reasonable
 access to the unit, use dwelling unit as a dwelling unit, not abandon property, etc.).

 Return to Housing Memo




DRAFT PARAMETERS FOR INCLUSIONARY HOUSING ORDINANCE

The following was discussed as potential parameters for inclusion in an inclusionary housing
ordinance (IHO):

Applicability:
  Any new residential units containing 11 or more units;
  For sale or rental residential new construction projects with 11 or more (10 units or less
 are exempt);
  Existing residential properties that are converted from condominiums to rental properties;
 rental properties that are converted to condominiums; other commercial properties that
 are renovated to include 11 or more units of residential housing.

Requirement of on-site units:
The required percentage of on-site units would be at a graduated scale based on the size of the
development (inclusive of all unit types). The total percentage of on-site units that would be
required to be affordable in developments (inclusive of all planned/proposed stages/phases of
development) would be:
  5 percent for developments containing 11-150 units; and
  10 percent for developments containing 151 or more units.

Zoning Relief and Site Plan Approval:
  Consider inclusion of relief for parking, height, and other zoning requirements to
 incentivize additional on-site affordable units (beyond what is required).

Additional Considerations for on-site unit calculations/requirements:
  Affordability levels would be split between 60% of AMI and 80% of AMI;
  Affordable units need to be a mix of all unit types offered throughout the building (i.e. all
 on-site affordable units cannot be 1-bedrooms) and need to be a mix comparable to the
 number of market rate units.
  When percentage is not a whole number, the number is rounded up to the next whole
 (e.g. A building with 126 units would be subject to 5 percent on-site requirement. This is
 6.3 units; the requirement would be 7 units on-site).

Consideration of Fee-in-lieu
  The goal of an inclusionary housing ordinance is to build new affordable housing units.
 A fee-in-lieu is an opportunity to generate funds that could be directed to support
 affordable housing and should be an option to support affordable housing when it is not
 feasible to provide on-site housing.
  Further study of situations that are appropriate for fee-in-lieu should be considered.
  Fee-in-lieu should not be an option for projects of 100 units or more.

Skokie Demographic & Housing Background
Skokie is an economically, racially, and ethnically diverse community. According to the 2020
Census, Skokie is slightly wealthier than the metropolitan region and Cook County. The chart
below from DePaul University’s Institute for Housing highlights the breakdown of income levels
for households.




Racially and ethnically, Skokie’s population is slightly different than the region, with a
significant portion of the population that identifies as Asian (27.4% of the population as
compared to 7.2% and 7.3% of the County and region).




Housing affordability is universally discussed in terms of different levels of income limits called
“area median income”. Different levels differentiate different potential levels or access points to
housing assistance programs. Planetizen has an article that provides additional information on




VOSDOCS-#609838-v1-Plan_Commission_Report_on_Affordable_Housing 10
 Return to Housing Memo




AMI. The chart below breaks down income assumptions based on the incomes for the region
that Skokie is located in. Low- and moderate income households are generally those that fall
between 50%-80% of AMI; affordable workforce housing is generally considered those that fall
between 80% and 120% of AMI. Deeper levels of affordability below 60% and 50% of AMI are
often accompanied with supportive living environments with additional wraparound services for
residents to support living arrangements.




According to the Village’s adopted Consolidated Plan for Program Year 2020-2024 (PY20-24),
the data analysis highlights the households most in need of support and the types of challenges
found in housing units in Skokie (i.e. units were deficient in some manner).
The data indicates that CDBG priorities should focus on households with older adults and
younger children. According to the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)
Area Family Median Income (HAMFI), approximately 52% of Skokie’s households were low-
/moderate-income. The greatest percentage of low-/moderate-income households is 59% for
household with at least one person 75 years of age or older, followed by 57% of households with




VOSDOCS-#609838-v1-Plan_Commission_Report_on_Affordable_Housing 11
 Return to Housing Memo




one or more children six years of age or younger and 39% of households with at least one person
62 to74 years of age.
The breakdown of age, based on Census data, indicates that the share of the population under 18
years of age is similar to the Cook County and metropolitan region, but Skokie skews a bit older.
Addressing housing challenges for the aging population will be an opportunity area for Skokie in
the coming years and building strategies to support this work will be important.




The Consolidated Plan further highlights challenges associated with housing in Skokie. These
include:
  Housing units lack complete kitchen/plumbing facilities. The estimated number of
 households lacking complete plumbing or kitchen facilities is 75 households, with 50 of
 these households in renter-occupied housing and 25 in owner-occupied housing. All
 households living in these conditions were low- and moderate-income households.
  Housing is overcrowded. According to the Consolidated Plan, those living in 550
 households were residing in overcrowded housing units. Overcrowded was considered 1-
 1.5 people per room.

  Households are cost burdened. This was identified as the greatest problem; there are
 more than 3,200 renter/owner-occupied households with a housing burden greater than
 30% of household income, and greater than 4,000 renter/owner-occupied households with
 a housing burden greater than 50% of household income.




VOSDOCS-#609838-v1-Plan_Commission_Report_on_Affordable_Housing 12
 Return to Housing Memo




The previous chart is from DePaul University’s Institute for Housing Studies. It highlights the
nature of the regional issues of households being cost-burdened with housing. Skokie’s share of
all households that are cost-burdened (spending more than 30% of income on housing) is
virtually the same as Cook County and the broader metropolitan region.
The goals highlighted in the next section build on Skokie’s unique demographic profile and the
state of housing in the community. The attention and support for older populations and their
housing needs will need to be a top priority with both the existing older population and the aging
Baby Boomers. A study by IHS, identified the range of housing needs for Cook County’s older
Adults. The following chart highlights the net change in older adult rental household income in
Chicago is likely comparable to broader Cook County and considering Skokie’s adjacency to
Chicago is noteworthy. Significant growth in the 30 percent AMI and less income range was the
most significant, but almost every other income range saw growth in a five-year span as well.




VOSDOCS-#609838-v1-Plan_Commission_Report_on_Affordable_Housing 13
 Return to Housing Memo




Preventing deferred maintenance and making sure homes are accessibility will be a or the
cornerstone of work in the Village’s housing rehabilitation programs; expansion to include
renter-occupied housing will further diversify the Village’s ability to help residents. Increasing
the number of affordable units through an inclusionary housing ordinance, providing gap
financing for developers engaged in affordable housing projects, and supporting projects seeking
low-income housing tax credits also will represent opportunities to increase the number of
affordable units in Skokie and reduce the portion of households that are housing-cost burdened.

The Village of Skokie’s Commitment to Affordable Housing
The Village of Skokie, founded in 1888, has a history of supporting affordable and diverse
housing options. Highlights of this work include:

  The Village was one of the first communities in the region to adopt a fair housing
 ordinance in 1967.

  The Village has maintained a self-imposed property tax freeze since 1990. Recognizing
 the relationship that property tax bills play for housing costs, this has kept the Village’s
 portion of the property tax as a percentage of the total tax bill low, which is currently
 around 6% of a typical property tax bill.

  Since 1975, the Village has administered its Community Development Block Grant
 (CDBG) funds to support the rehabilitation of owner-occupied housing for income
 eligible individuals. The Village has funded a housing rehab program since 1983. In
 recent years, the Village’s Consolidated Plan has consistently targeted and allocated
 funding housing rehabilitation.

  In addition to the Housing Chapter of the Adopted Comprehensive Plan (Housing portion
 approved by the Village Board in 2007), the Village adopts a five-year Consolidated Plan
 to guide its funding for annual allocations for its CDBG entitlement. During each new
 process for plan development, a Needs Assessment is conducted through which housing
 availability, characteristics, and affordability are reviewed and documented.

  The Illinois Department of Housing Authority (IHDA) adopted the Affordable Housing
 Planning and Appeals Act (AHPAA) in 2003 to support the development and inclusion of
 moderately-priced housing in all communities across the State. Communities that
 maintain less than 10% of their housing as affordable by IHDA’s metrics must adopt and
 submit an Affordable Housing Plan to IHDA. Skokie has maintained compliance with
 this act since its adoption. At IHDA’s last measure, Skokie had 19.9% of its housing
 considered affordable.

  The Village has long recognized the relationship between housing and transportation for
 households and has advocated for the investment in public transportation options. The
 opening of the Oakton Street Yellow Line Station in 2012 marked significant investment
 ($20 million from all funding partners) in both bringing workers by mass transit into
 Skokie’s downtown and providing area residents access to Chicago’s employment center.
 Further investment and partnership with Pace on its Pulse Line development connects
 Skokie residents and workers to eastern and western destinations via bus rapid transit
 options.

  Congregate Living Facilities are permitted in any residential district and are a special use
 in other districts. This gives flexibility to this housing type. Skokie has forty facilities
 and is recognized as a leader in providing this housing.

  In 2014, the Village adopted the Residential Rental Unit Standards and Neighborhood
 Integrity Initiative which required the registration of rental units. The ordinance requires
 the inspection of every rental unit prior to being offered to rent and when properties are
 sold; landlords also are also required to complete a Village-offered landlord training
 program.

  The Village’s Neighborhood Enhancement Program, started in 2019, was designed to
 increase investment in qualifying neighborhoods where the Village had made investment
 to public infrastructure such as road, sidewalk, or alley improvements.

  Skokie’s 2020 Commitment to Affordable Housing highlighted several priorities for
 affordable housing that include supporting the Neighborhood Enhancement and Home
 Improvement Program; providing housing financial and emergency assistance to
 households during the initial phases of the COVID-19 pandemic; and the development
 and implementation of the Neighborhood Integrity Initiative, which requires inspection of
 units and training for landlords.

  Since 2018 the Village has participated in a Regional Assessment of Fair housing, led by
 the Cook County Bureau of Economic Development. This collaboration among CDBG
 entitlement communities, public housing authorities, and not-for-profit organizations
 provides analysis and recommendations to further fair housing efforts in Cook County.

  Impact Behavioral Health broke ground on a 16-unit apartment building in downtown
 Skokie. Funding for the $8 million structure was made possible from the Illinois
 Housing Development Authority (IHDA). The Village, Impact, and the state were able to
 jointly facilitate this project for Impact’s low-income program participants.

  In 2020 and 2023, two new rental housing developments established Skokie as a desired
 location for new apartments (The Boulevard and Highpoint at 8000 North). In 2022,
 building on the success of recent residential development in Skokie, two projects under
 consideration opted to include 5% of units at levels affordable to 100% of Area Median
 Incomes (AMI). In total this was 15 more units of affordable housing for the Village in
 new developments. The Village Board in November 2022 directed the Plan Commission
 to engage in additional study and consideration of affordable housing policy
 recommendations. In January, February, and March 2023, the Plan Commission engaged
 in meetings to review strategies, hear from subject matter experts, and formulate
 recommendations for the Village Board.

  The Village has a variety of housing options for residents holding vouchers from the
 Housing Authority of Cook County as well as other units with on-site affordable housing
 through partner organizations and Cook County.

Memorandum
Corporation Counsel's Office



To: The Honorable Mayor George Van Dusen
 John T. Lockerby, Village IV|anager

 ^-tlfA
From: ;[M?^rr r~i^u\ «^__
 Micl^ia^ ^A. Ldf^e, Corporation (^ouns^Fr

Date: April 26, 2023

Subject: State of Illinois Affordable Housing Planning and Appeal Act Changes

Coincidentally, amendments to the State of Illinois Affordable Housing Planning and Appeal Act are moving
through Springfield at the very time the Village of Skokie is considering changes to its affordable housing
policies. Senate Bill 1476 was introduced in the Illinois Senate providing new terms and concepts to the
existing Affordable Housing and Appeal Act and will have limited impact on all Illinois municipalities. The
bill passed in the Senate last week by a vote of 43 to 12 along Party lines. This bill was an initiative of
Housing Action Illinois and was sponsored in the Illinois Senate by Senator Gillespie.

State Representative Rashid is sponsoring the Bill in the House. The Bill is to be heard in the Housing
Committee on April 26, 2023 and there is some expectation that the Bill will pass in the House with
amendments to the Senate version.

It is advisable that our work on our municipal affordable housing policy considers what is happening in
Springfield. Once again, the Village of Skokie affordable housing policies will continue to exceed the new
policies in this amended legislation. The Village has always demonstrated a progressive approach to
affordable housing by exceeding exempt status requirements and outperforming all of our neighboring
communities. Now we have an opportunity to establish policies that focus this work with intentional
affordable housing programs.

If passed by the Illinois House, SB 1476 as now amended in the House, would:
Not modify the definition of "exempt local government." The Village of Skokie has always been exempt
because our affordable housing units remain near 20%. The revised Affordable Housing and Appeal Act
as amended in the House will maintain 10% as the required threshold of affordable housing units in a
municipality to be exempt from the Act. The Senate had considered 15% to be exempt from the Act but it
will be kept at 1 0%. This will retain the Village of Skokie well within the threshold target of the Affordable
Housing and Appeal Act of the State. The definition will also exempt local governments with a population
under 2,500 rather than the current 1,000. There is currently no baseline in the Bill for AMI.

The Act will now require that when calculating the rental cost of housing units, the calculation shall include
the cost of parking, maintenance and landlord-imposed fees if this information is available from the Census
Bureau.


The existing authority for a municipality to use its zoning powers to create and preserve affordable housing
remains, which provides opportunity for the Zoning Board to be engaged in the process of affordable
housing. There are new requirements for affordable housing plans which apply to non-exempt local
governments. In light of the fact that the Village of Skokie is exempt under the existing and proposed
amended Act, it is not necessary to examine all of the requirements in the amended Act. However, it does
currently include that Municipalities that are not exempt because they fall below 10% of affordable housing
are given a new 5 year target for reaching goals to increase affordable housing to 10% and a timeline up
to 24 months to implement the components of any plan.

Further developments will be conveyed to the Board as the Bill works through the legislative process.
