A
We're
going
to
call
the
meeting
to
order
administration
and
public
works
committee
first
item
on
our
agenda
is
approval
of
the
minutes
of
November
27
I'll,
move
approval
and
the
second
and
the
objections
Corrections
changes,
hearing,
none
all
those
in
favor
say
aye
any
opposed
all
right
items
for
consideration:
Alderman
Fleming.
Would
you
like
to
begin
how
about,
if
you
do
the
payroll
and
the
bills
list
and
the
credit
card
activity
and
the
Amazon
okay.
B
I'm,
sorry,
you
know
I
didn't
do
the
credit
card
activity.
Oh
I'm
gonna
go
back
for
that.
One
excuse
me
credit
card
activity
period,
ending
October,
31st
2017
in
the
amount
of
one
hundred,
fifty
six
thousand
five
hundred
twenty
nine
dollars
and
88
cents.
That's
for
approval
all.
B
C
D
C
F
F
So
last
year,
when
I
attended
the
event
which
I'm
glad
to
see
that
we're
providing
the
funding
for
it,
the
businesses
that
could
sell,
merchandises
weren't
allowed
to
so
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
this
year
moving
forward.
If
we
continue
to
fund
it
that
the
businesses
are
able
to
those
that
can't
sell,
sell
their
items.
Okay,.
G
H
A
C
A
All
right
next
item
yeah:
this
is
a
motion
to
execute
purchase,
order
for
the
sole
source
upgrade
and
repair
of
Cargill
Accu
brine
system
from
Cargill.
This
is
very
appropriate
deicing
technology
for
a
total
purchase
amount
of
thirty
six
thousand
five
hundred
dollars.
This
is
a
sole
manufacturer
for
our
Cargill
Accu
brine
system
and
is
a
propriety
and
its
proprietary
software
and
it
comes
the
proper
mixture
so
that
what
runs
off
into
our
sewers
and
other
water
systems
is
safe
and
not
contaminated.
B
F
Madam
chair
I'd
like
to
move
item
3.4,
it's
change
order
number
for
the
contract
with
structures
concerns.
Excuse
me,
construction,
LLC
for
the
Dempster
Street
officer
innovations
staff
is
recommending
the
City
Council
approved
the
change
order
for
the
Dempster
Street
Beach
in
the
dollar
amount
of
twelve
thousand
four
hundred
twenty
seven
and
the
increase
from
two
sixty
three
892
to
796
three
nineteen.
C
E
I
Honored
members
of
the
committee,
my
name
is
Laura
Biggs
I'm
the
city
engineer.
So
this
project
is
a
renovation
in
an
existing
building
and
any
time
you
start
renovating
an
existing
building.
There's
the
potential
to
run
into
issues.
In
this
particular
case.
The
bulk
of
the
cost
for
this
change
order
has
to
do
with
structural
repairs
that,
as
we
started
doing
the
work
became
more
obvious.
The
ceilings
started
to
deflect.
So
we
request
a
structural
engineer
to
come
out.
Do
an
evaluation
it
turned
out.
The
beams
were
not
appropriate
for
the
reinforcing
needed.
Okay.
G
A
C
Staff
recommends
the
City
Council
authorized
city
manager
to
execute
a
one-year
contract
extension
for
the
management
and
operations
of
three
city,
ownself
facility
self
Park
facilities,
SP
plus
municipal
services,
I'm,
in
the
amount
of
1
million
five
hundred
thirteen
thousand
seven
hundred
seven
dollars
funding
where
the
contract
will
be
provided
by
the
following
parking
funds,
accounts,
Church,
Street,
Garage,
Sherman,
Avenue
garage
and
Maple
Avenue
garage.
The
budgeted
amount
for
2018
is
1
million.
C
B
Second,
all
the
room,
Fleming
I,
have
a
question.
Just
I
know
that
we're
on
our
first
one-year
contract
extension
of
two-year
option
at
what
point
I
don't
know
what
staff
this
is
sorry
at
what
point
are
we
going
to,
or
will
we
even
go
out,
look
for
a
different
vendor,
or
do
we
anticipate
just
thank
you.
Jill.
G
Members
of
the
committee
Jovi
Lim,
Park
and
division
manager.
We
typically
do
RFP
every
five
years
we
had.
We
just
finished
our
first
two
year
contract,
for
which
we
did
the
RFP,
which
was
1565
we're
on
our
first
extension,
we'll
have
two
more
extensions
and
then
we
would
go
out
for
RFP
again,
of
course,
at
any
time,
if
we
determine
that,
we
want
to
look
at
other
options,
we
could
do
an
RFP
sooner.
That's
the
that's
why
we
do
one-year
extensions
after
the
first
two
years,
so
that
we
can
continue
to
monitor
the
contract.
G
B
G
A

G
License
plate
yeah
yeah,
that
was
it
we
the
license
plate
recognition
was
the
new
software
for
that
nested
area
did
add.
We
we
did
have
the
residents
be
able
to
do
the
transponders,
so
they
either
have
a
proximity
card
a
transponder
or
their
license.
Plate
can
be
read,
they
have
three
options
now
to
get
in
the
garage
and
indicators.
G
A
A
K
And
members
of
the
committee
Erica
story,
city
manager,
the
city
council-
did
approve
the
purchase
of
the
tag
master
system
that
was
referenced
about
for
$135,000
in
January
of
this
year.
That
system
was
installed
is
now
working
very
well
we're
happy
to
report.
There
was
some
issues
that
we
went
back
to
the
vendor
for
apt.
K
H
It'll
come
from
the
parking
fund
and
we
also
think
we'll
have
better
utilization
of
the
deck
overall.
As
far
as
now
that
we're
managing
the
nested
area
more
efficiently
that
there's
more
spaces
available
in
the
non
nested
area,
it's
alright.
We
hope
that
that
will
improve
revenues
to
pay
for
that
software.
A
Okay.
Thank
you
all
right.
The
next
item
is
purchase
of
fuel
for
2018
from
gas
Depot
oil
company,
it's
in
the
amount
of
four
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
dollars,
and
it's
the
current
Northwest
municipal
conference
bid
winner
through
July
5
2018
for
all
grades
and
types
of
fuel
that
are
utilized
by
city
vehicles.
This
is
for
action,
Thank,
You,.
K
A
Alderman
Braithwaite
and
members
of
the
committee
I.
This
is
kind
of
unusual
I
know,
but
I
received
a
couple
of
complaints
today,
never
having
received
any
complaints
before,
but
these
are
rather
concerning
and
they
have
nothing
to
do
with
the
cost
of
this
program
or
the
return
on
investment,
etc,
etc.
A
A
F
B
A
C
C
A
A
L
Madam
chair
and
on
committee,
Henry
Ford
assistants
to
the
attorney
this
matter
involves
a
from
a
auto
accident
case
that
took
place
in
October
of
2016
involving
one
of
the
city.
Garbage
trucks
involved,
two
other
vehicles,
the
plaintiff
involved
in
one
of
the
vehicles
sued,
the
city
and
I'm
in
relation
to
severe
injuries
that
she
suffered.
L
We
received
a
Sullivan
demand
over
the
summer
dealing
with
the
matter.
Our
access
carrier
was
involved,
noting
the
age
of
the
plaintiff
involved
and
the
severity
of
her
injuries.
We
had
to
present
our
duties,
notify
our
access
carrier,
excess
carrier
got
involved,
retained.
Its
own
counsel
suggested
mediation
pursuant
to
our
contract,
our
insurance
policy
with
our
provider.
L
L
These
made
for
the
attorneys
for
the
the
city
employee
involved,
so
I
can
answer
any
other
questions
involving
the
matter,
but
the
matter
was
mediated
in
November
of
2017
voluntary
mediated
a
settlement
was
reached
and
that's
the
city's
proportion
and
all
Matt
ball
claims
against
the
city
and
the
employee
involved
are
dismissed
with
prejudice.
There
was
an
order
entered
late
last
month,
dismissing
the
games
claims
with
prejudice,
and
that
was
part
of
the
settlement
agreement.
So
this
is
just
you.
L
H
And
chair
just
to
follow
up
on
this,
we've
been
insured
in
this
manner
for
approximately
nine
years.
But
prior
to
this,
we
didn't
have
any
coverage
so
I'm,
probably
closer
to
ten
years
and
the
we
were
concerned
when
we,
if
we
ever
had
a
large
claim
what
would
happen
and
earlier
on
the
27th
he
received
renewals
for
all
of
our
insurance,
and
we
did
have
this
renewed.
So
we
were
able
to
get
a
renewal.
The
renewal
was
not
that
much
of
an
increase,
so
staff
is
very
happy
with
that.
A
I
can
add
a
bit
of
historical
or
corporate
memory
about
going
back
as
to
why
we
had
no
insurance
coverage.
There
was
a
time
when
we
did
have
it
prior
to
when
we
didn't
have
it
at
one
point.
Our
insurance
premium
we
were
notified
would
be
1
million
dollars
for
1
million
dollars
worth
of
coverage,
and
that
was
at
that
point
where
we
said
no
I
think
we'll
go
uninsured
and
that
affect
$1,000,000
of
premium
for
$1,000,000
of
coverage.
A
So
we
had
some
gigantic
claims
that
give
the
day.
So
we
we
have
proven
ourselves
since
then
any
other
questions,
none
all
those
in
favor
of
recommending
this
settlement
to
the
council
say
aye
hi
I'll
take
the
next
one.
Also
this
is
resolution
98
r17.
This
is
an
abatement
of
general
obligation,
bonds.
F
Right,
madam
sure,
I'd
like
to
move
an
item,
a
nine
resolution,
90
R,
17
2017
budget
amendment
staff
is
recommending
the
City
Council
adopt
90
R
17
amending
the
2017
budget
by
fourteen
million
nine
hundred
and
sixty-five
thousand
six
excuse
me,
532,
the
new
total
of
three
hundred
and
twenty
three
million
seven
hundred
and
thirty-two
nine
hundred
and
eighty
six
dollars
as
detailed
below
the
fourteen
point.
Two
million
dollars.
B
A
Keep
in
mind
everybody,
this
is
2017
right.
Any
discussion
on
that
hearing.
None
all
those
in
favor
of
recommending
this
amendment
of
the
council
say:
aye
aye,
all
right,
I'll
I'll!
Take
this
next
one.
It's
a
resolution
to
abate
general
obligation
bonds.
So
it's
resolution,
78
are
17
and
there
are
13
of
them
through
110
are
17
and
I'm
going
to
read
in
their
series
and
I'm
going
to
read
the
series.
A
A
B
11
is
ordinance
143,
OH,
17,
amending
city,
cold
3-2,
16
that
shoot
increasing
the
gasoline
tax.
The
staff
recommend
the
City
Council,
adopt
ordinance,
143
OH
17
amending
city
code,
increasing
the
city's
gasoline
tax
from
point
zero,
four
cents
per
gallon
to
point
zero.
Five
cent
per
gallon
effective
date,
February
1st.
This
is
for
action,
I'm.
B
A
C
A
A
H
H
We
suspend
the
rules,
then
we
could
also
change
the
date
to
January
1
January
1,
effective
date
and
for
especially
for
the
gasoline
tax
and
for
the
gasoline
tax
is
one
that
we
have
a
limited
number
of
stations
to
approach,
so
we
can
reach
out
to
them
the
athletic
tax.
That's
also
one
where
whether
we
have
one
you
know
one
person
to
approach
so
we
can
accomplish
both
by
January
1.
B
11
again,
yeah
all
right:
11
ordinance,
143,
Oh,
def,
17
amending
city
code,
which
would
increase
City
gasoline
tax
from
point
zero,
four
per
gallon
to
point
zero
five
per
gallon.
This
is
for
introduction
in
action.
You
want
to
make
that
effective.
January
1st!
Are
we
yes,
effective,
January
1st?
This
is
for
introduction
and
action.
We
are
suspending
the
rules.
C
A
C
Recommends
City
Council,
adopt
ordinance,
160,
0
17
amending
section
3
for
hotel,
motel
and
vacation
rental
tax
ordinance,
121
0:17
amending
the
hotel-motel
tax
to
include
vacation
rental
units
was
adopted
on
November
27
2017.
Since
adoption
of
ordinance
121
zero
17
staff
has
had
conversations
with
Airbnb
and
request
some
technical
amendments
to
ease
a
tax
collection
process.
This
is
for
introduction
in
action.
B
A
B
C
H
M
M
M
Strickland
of
the
vacation
rental
portion
of
the
ordinance
this
also
this
ought
that
came
into
play
as
well,
because
that
we're
going
to
be
entering
into
a
voluntary
collection
agreement
with
Airbnb
and
in
order
for
their
corporation
council
to
enter
an
agreement.
These
sort
of
amendments
needed
to
happen
to
satisfy
both
sides
of
City,
as
well
as
them.
A
So,
for
example,
if
I,
if
I
am
let's
see,
if
I,
if
I,
rent
an
apartment
like
from
E
to
let's
say
and
I,
am
going
away
on
vacation
and
I'm
going
to
rent
out
my
apartment,
but
that
that
would
kind
of
be
an
example.
You
wouldn't
be
collecting
the
tax
from
the
owners
of
v2.
You
would
be
collecting
the
text
from
me
correct,
because
I'm,
the
Airbnb
mm-hmm
renter
all
right
landlord
right.
K
Okay,
so
just
for
a
clarification,
the
whole
concept
behind
this
is
that
we
want
Airbnb
to
collect
the
text
on
behalf
of
the
people
that
are
renting
out
the
units,
so
you
wouldn't
be
taking
the
tax
and
then
giving
it
to
the
city.
Airbnb
is
adding
it
to
the
bill
when
the
people
are
renting
from
the
person
who
has
the
ownership
of
the
unit.
K
So
currently,
Airbnb
is
collecting
in
two
percent,
but
tax
on
all
of
the
Airbnb
rentals
that
are
occurring
in
the
state
of
Illinois
and
that
tax
goes
to
the
state
of
Illinois,
we're
adding
on
our
percentage
for
this
ordinance.
So
with
this
voluntary
collection
agreement
that
Airbnb
is
entering
into
with
us
will
allow
them
to
collect
the
tax
on
behalf
of
you
or
whoever
else
is
renting
the
unit
and
then
send
it
to
us.
C
A
A
L
B
A
C
B
C
A
C
Recommends
City
Council
adoption
of
ordinance,
158
0:17
amending
city
code,
subsections,
3,
4,
6
D
to
decrease
the
number
of
authorized
Class
D
liquor
license
from
52
to
51
Asian
Cajun
to
corporation
during
businesses,
Asian
Cajun
to
located
at
1320
to
Chicago
Avenue
staff
recommend
suspension
of
the
rules.
This
is
for
introduction
in
action.
B
A
Call
it
the
question:
I'll,
really
a
one-year
contract
extension
is
requested
for
the
management
and
operation
of
three-self
park
facilities
with
SP
plus
municipal
services,
in
the
amount
of
a
million
five
hundred
thirteen
thousand
seven
hundred
and
seven
dollars
for
2018.
C
A
A
H
A
Overtime,
yes,
that
I
copied
all
over
time.
So
a
lot
of
it
wasn't
reimbursed
you
and
it
was
seven
pages
of
single
spaced
single
lines.
I
thought
it
was
astonishing,
number
of
and
I
I
really
I,
don't
know
if
other
people
were
able
to
interpret
I
think
some
of
it
was
duplicated
but
I'm,
not
sure
and
I.
Really,
if,
if
it's
duplicate
of
the
hundred
thousand
dollars
of
athletic
texts,
can't
possibly
cover
it,
so
that
was
one
reason
why
I
tried
to
single
that
out:
I
just
I'm
I
just
want
to
be
reassured
I.
H
G
A
H
D
Have
a
chair
members
of
the
committee
good
evening.
The
answer
to
your
question
is:
we
are
not
reimbursed
for
all
overtime
associated
with
football
basketball
games.
There
has
been
a
practice
of
over
time
that
is
required
for
assistance
with
the
event
management,
so
mostly
the
police
that
are
used
on
sites
that
during
football,
it's
on
the
perimeter
of
the
stadium
people
ingress/egress
over
time
that
is
associated
with
the
officers
away
from
the
stadium
is
not
covered.
There's
less
of
that
during
basketball
season.
D
A
Thank
you
very
much.
Okay,
and
so
we
are
we
just
going
to
be
getting
these
sheets
of
overtime.
I
mean
I,
don't
I,
don't
know
how
to
read
them.
D
Madam
chair
members
of
the
committee,
we
had
been
sharing
with
you
overtime
reports
in
the
the
detail
that
we've
had
over
the
last
several
months,
given
the
financial
condition
that
we
were
in
with
the
beginning
of
the
next
fiscal
year,
I
think
we
would
like
to
re-evaluate
how
we
share
that
overtime.
Information
with
you,
I
get
pretty
detailed
reports
on
a
quarterly
basis
from
the
staff
and
the
Human
Resources
Division.
D
Perhaps
that's
a
better
use
of
the
council's
time
is
to
look
at
that
information
quarterly
and
then
have
an
opportunity
to
discuss
it
and
dive
down
into
it.
At
that
point,
I
don't
know
that
it
changes
wildly
pay
period
by
period
again.
I
really
just
wanted
to
heighten
the
attention
to
the
staff,
the
staff
and
our
managers
and
supervisors
with
the
importance
of
it
and
by
providing
it
to
the
council.
I
think
we
were
able
to
accomplish
that.
That's.
B
That
was
my
question
because
I
I
had
asked
before
when
we
started
getting
these.
If
I
could
see
dollar
amounts,
because
you
know
it's
nice
to
see
the
hours,
but
we
were
thinking
about
budget
and
so
dollars
make
more
sense
to
me,
and
and
even
with
the
hours
total
some
departments
tell
you
the
total
number
of
hours,
some
departments
just
tell
you,
you
know
the
hours
per
person
and
it
would
be
helpful
for
me
to
see
a
total
number
of
hours.
B
If
we
continue
to
get
these
because
they
said,
helps
me
to
gauge
I
do
have
another
question
while
you're
up
there,
it
looks
like
looks
like
maybe
just
in
the
Parks
and
Rec
Department,
but
some
staff
have
comp
time
and
then
I
assume
some
staff
where
it
doesn't
say
comp
time
actually
are
paid
for
their
overtime
and
I.
Don't
see
that
in
other
departments.
So
can
you
just
explain
why
some
people
are
paid
and
some
people
get
comp
time?
First,.
D
B
M
A
B
D
And
all
the
run,
plumbing
members
of
the
community
union
contracts
have
some
guidance
with
that
as
well.
I
cannot
recite
that
off
the
top
of
my
head,
so
some
employees
I
think
have
more
flexibility
than
others
in
making
that
decision
for
some
they
would
rather
have
the
time
for
because
of
tax
reasons,
and
sometimes
the
additional
pay.
Everybody
I
think
views
that
very
differently.
So
a
manager
I
think
my.
F
You,
madam
chair,
just
to
quit,
so,
yes,
I,
would
agree
being
able
to
see
this
in
terms
of
a
dollar
amount.
I
know
during
the
budget
season
the
one
number
that
I
did
pay
attention
to,
while
he
was
the
fire,
the
fact
that
we
actually
budgeted
for
the
fires
overtime
but
I
would
like
it,
of
course,
when
you
break
it
down
by
Department
to
know
how
they're
tracking,
if
any
other
departments,
actually
budget
for
overtime,
let.
D
It
just
plays
a
much
more
significant
role
in
Police
and
Fire,
and
so,
madam
chair,
what
I'd
like
to
propose
is
that
we
transition
from
this
monthly
report
to
a
quarterly
report.
I
currently
receive
internally
a
report
that
you're
describing
and
so
that
work
is
already
done.
It's
not
been
shared
on
a
regular
basis
of
largely
just
because
it
hasn't
been
an
issue
of
the
council's
policy
considerations,
but
I
do
monitor
it
very
closely.
D
So,
if
you're
comfortable
with
that
Alban
Rainey
will
just
bring
you
a
quarterly
report,
I
think
it's
an
excellent
thing
to
stay
on
top
of
a
lot
of
organizations,
don't
at
any
level
and
I
think
pay
the
price
and
I
think
moving
forward.
While,
hopefully
the
council
will
adopt
the
budget.
That's
before
you
this
evening,
and
we
could.
That
is
a
very
appropriate
budget.
I
think
managing
overtime
always
just
helps,
helps
the
cost.
D
We
managed
care
the
so
I
mentioned
to
you,
but
to
the
rest,
community
and
those
in
the
audience
know
we're
having
difficulties
with
a
our
Comcast
feed
this
evening
on.
That
is
also
affecting
our
streaming.
So
Anderson
Castillo
is
working
diligently
to
get
that
fixed,
and
there
are
several
members
of
the
community
who
have
my
cell
number
and
who
have
been
texting
to.
Let
me
know
and
I
have
them
know.
We
know.
