Resident Simon Babbs noted in the Committee of the Whole discussion that the group
considered the concept of capital development loans, potentially funded by the Village or
through a partnership with a local bank. He strongly recommended pursuing a bank partnership.
Resident Beverly Smith said she chaired the Northfield Caucus, which strongly supports
ad hoc committees and citizen involvement, and noted there was still time to do this for proposed
TIF. She felt the TIF public hearing scheduled for November 9th seemed rushed.
Chris Gecas said he found the scheduling to be troublesome because SB Friedman used
2020–2024 assessed valuations rather than more current figures. Village Manager Brennan
responded that preliminary calculations show the Village already meets the requirement in 3 of
the past 5 years, and analysis had been done including the 2025 data, resulting in the
qualification increasing to 4 of the last 5 years.
Yoav Sharon said he lived in Glenview and expressed concerns about how a proposed
TIF could impact taxpayers in Northfield and nearby communities. He explained that TIF freezes
existing property values for tax rate calculations, while values outside the district rise with
inflation. He remarked that over a 23-year TIF period, compounded inflation shifts an
increasingly larger share of the tax burden onto taxpayers outside the district. He stated that
evaluating taxpayer impact based solely on EAV growth is inaccurate and misleading.
Resident Tana Hitch requested that the Village not build too much to disturb the sweet
character of Northfield.
APPROVAL OF BILLS AND DISBURSEMENTS – August 2026
Trustee Orth made a motion, seconded by Trustee Fowler, to approve the bills and
disbursements from August 1, 2026, through August 31, 2026.
Village Manager Brennan provided an overview of the highlighted items on the
disbursements sheet.
President Mendrek opened the floor to questions and comments from the Trustees and
there were none.
After opening the floor to comment from the public and hearing none, President Mendrek
called for a roll call vote.
AYES: Orth, Whittaker, Fowler, Galin, Juedes, Elfmann
NAYS: None
ABSTAIN: None
ABSENT: None
The motion passed with six votes in favor, and none opposed.

TRUSTEE LIAISON REPORTS
Trustee Elfmann said that the New Trier football team was doing well. He said the next
ZBA meeting would be held on October 7th.
Trustee Galin stated that the Northwest Municipal Conference held its first meeting after
the summer and is actively monitoring the BUILD legislation that did not advance previously.
He noted that the governor is seeking to revise it into a statewide baseline rather than a zoning
preemption. He added that the conference showcased to legislators how municipalities are
addressing housing issues. He mentioned that the Library Board would meet the following
Monday.
Trustee Orth remarked the Architecture Committee had met on September 14th and
approved a scoreboard at New Trier, noting their next meeting would be on October 13th. He
noted the Avoca School Board met on September 17th and recommended visiting their website to
view the meeting details. He said there would be a facility listening tour at Marie Murphy
School on September 23rd and 24th at 6:30 PM, and another tour at Avoca West School on
September 24th at 6:30 PM. He welcomed everyone to come for the Centennial birthday party
on October 27th.
Trustee Whittaker said that the Red Center had completed its budget, is adapting to
changes, and will hold budget subcommittee meetings the following month.
Trustee Fowler said that the Plan and Zoning Committee held a robust meeting on
September 8th and discussed new office uses in the Village Center District.
Trustee Juedes said the New Trier School Board was also holding a meeting that evening.
He noted that Sunset Ridge and Middlefork Schools conducted police and fire safety drills this
week, along with 3rd grade bike safety. He said they are updating their curriculum to include
Spanish instruction across the district. He noted that the community recognized Chris Roberts, a
Sunset Ridge teacher, for her contributions to teaching the Village of Northfield’s history. He
added that the districts continue their TIF discussions and work on an intergovernmental
agreement (IGA).
Trustee Juedes asked Police Chief Hutensky to explain how FLOCK cameras are utilized
within Northfield. Hutensky stated that FLOCK cameras are a powerful public safety and
investigative tool. He emphasized that while they are aware of reported misuse in other

departments, Northfield maintains a strict policy governing data access and conducts an access
audit each month. He also noted that Police Chiefs in the surrounding communities are aligned in
their support of the system and acknowledge the importance of safeguarding the data.
DEPARTMENTAL REPORTS
Village Manager Brennan reported that his Post Office contact confirmed they are
currently reviewing the request for temporary relocation, and the Village is now waiting to hear
whether the library is ready to resume design work. Regarding the proposed Orchard parking
lot, he noted that nearby property owners prefer the layout that offers the most spaces. He stated
that permission has been given to the designer to move forward with an expanded plan that
includes cross-access and full-lot lighting
Trustee Orth asked about the status of the water main project on the north side of
Frontage Road, north of Central, and Village Manager Brennan replied that Cook County has
approved the permit, so he expects the work to resume soon. Brennan also noted that the
resurfacing of Walnut Street, along with the creation of additional parking spaces, will take place
in the near future.
Village Manager Brennan reported that he contacted Schroeder Concrete to discuss ways
to reduce their bid for the sidewalk project by Middlefork School but has not yet received a
response. He noted that the project is still in the design phase, and a decision is needed on
whether to proceed now, wait for the school’s final design, or consider a mid-block crossing
alternative. The Board agreed to obtain additional information from the school regarding its final
design and noted that the topic may be revisited at a future Committee of the Whole Meeting.
Trustee Orth noted that a ribbon-cutting will take place at New Trier on Friday,
September 25th.
ADJOURN
There being no further business or issues to come before the Board, Trustee Juedes
made a motion, seconded by Trustee Orth, to adjourn the meeting. Upon a unanimous voice
vote, President Mendrek declared the motion passed.
President Mendrek declared the meeting adjourned at 8:06 PM.

Board of Trustees Meeting
Agenda Item No: 4
Meeting Date: 10/27/2026

Discussion Only: ☐
Consider for Approval: ☒

Staff Contact: Tina Smigielski, Finance
Subject: Adoption of a Resolution Estimating the Fiscal Year 2027-2028 Tax Levy
Summary: A required step in the process of adopting the tax levy is that the Village Board
estimates the amount of the proposed tax levy at least 20 days prior to the adoption of the levy. For
2026, the levy cap is 2.70%, and the attached estimated tax levy reflects a 2.70% increase.
Background Information: The state and Cook County have processes established for
communities to levy property taxes. As part of the process, the Village is required to annually adopt
a tax levy to identify the funds needed for operations. One of the steps in the process is to adopt an
Estimated Tax Levy. This step must be completed at least 20 days prior to adoption of the official
tax levy. The Village has typically adopted the estimated levy in October due to the lack of holding
a November meeting.
Part of the reason for preparing and adopting the Estimated Tax levy is to disclose the proposed tax
levy increase in advance of adopting the final levy. The levy increase is calculated based upon the
percentage increase of the current request in comparison to the prior year extended amounts
(property taxes to be received). Annually, Cook County publishes the tax levy cap for non-home rule
taxing bodies. This cap is part of the Property Tax Extension Limitation Law (PTELL), and for
2026, the cap is 2.7%. Even though the Village is a home-ruled community and exempt from
PTELL, the Village voluntarily follows the tax cap. For tax year 2025, the Village’s estimated levy
request, excluding Bonded Debt Service, is $6,133,976, representing a $161,263, or 2.70%, increase
over the prior year’s tax extension.
Since the proposed levy is not more than 5% higher than the prior year’s actual tax extension, a
public hearing on the proposed tax levy is not required.
While the estimated levy used for this action does not include bonded debt service, those amounts
are provided in this memorandum for transparency. Debt service associated with infrastructure
bonds issued in 2016, 2017, and 2019 had levies that were filed with the County Clerk when the
bonds were issued and will be levied each year automatically until the bonds mature. For 2026, the
bond levy amount will be $605,899, which is a decrease of $13,263, or 2.10%, compared to the 2025
bond levy. The total proposed 2026 levy, including the bond debt service, is $6,739,875. The total
increase over the prior year with the bonds is $148,000, which is an increase of 2.25% over the prior
year.

The following table outlines the estimated tax levy for the 2026 tax year, including bonded debt
service:

An ordinance for the 2026 tax levy will be considered by the Village Board of Trustees during the
December meeting.
Budgeted: No Financial Impact: Adopting the estimated tax levy does not have a direct financial
impact but is a required step in the process of adopting and filing the final tax levy on or before the
last Tuesday in December.
Recommendation: Staff recommends that the Village Board adopt the attached resolution
estimating the 2026 tax levy.
Attachments: Resolution estimating the 2026 tax levy.

A Resolution Estimating the Tax Levy Necessary for the
Fiscal Year May 1, 2027 through April 30, 2028
WHEREAS, the Truth in Taxation Act (35 ILCS 200/18-55, et seq.) requires that not less
than 20 days prior to the adoption of its aggregate levy, the corporate authority of each taxing

and interest and election costs, estimated to be necessary to be raised by taxation for that year
upon the taxable property in the Village;

Northfield, Cook County, Illinois, in exercise of their home rule authority, that:

is $6,133,976 which is 2.7% more than the prior levy for this Village, exclusive of amounts levied
for the payment of bond principal and interest and election costs, for the preceding year.
Section 3. This Resolution will be in full force and effect from and after its passage and
approval in accordance with applicable law.

Board of Trustees Meeting
Agenda Item No: 06
Meeting Date: October 27, 2026

Discussion Only: ☐

Staff Contact: Mike Hutensky, Police Department
Subject: Action on the Following Items Concerning the Northeastern Illinois Regional Crime
Laboratory:
a. Authorization to Execute an Updated Intergovernmental Agreement and Special
Assessment for Forensic Services
b. Adoption of an Ordinance Amending the Fiscal Year 2026-27 Budget
Summary: The crime lab needs to unexpectedly relocate due to unresolvable issues at their current
location. To address the related expenses, a special assessment is being applied, and a
recommended restatement of the organizational bylaws is being put to the membership. The Police
Chief recommends that the Village Board authorize the items presented herein.
Background Information: The Village of Northfield has been a member of the Northeastern Illinois
Regional Crime Laboratory (NIRCL) for many years.
NIRCL is seeking an updated
Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) with all 63 member communities to ensure all member agencies
operate under a single, amended IGA. The amended and updated IGA also addresses a special
assessment to member communities related to NIRCL’s planned relocation to the City of Lake Forest.
The current NIRCL facility is located in leased industrial space in the Village of Mundelein. The
facility has experienced several issues related to deteriorating building conditions, including a roof
leak that caused significant damage to evidence being processed at the laboratory. The NIRCL
Executive Director and Executive Board have attempted to address these issues with the property
owner; however, the issues remain unresolved. As a result, NIRCL explored alternative options for a
more stable, long-term facility.
The City of Lake Forest recently purchased an existing three-story office building and began
renovations to convert the property for use as a police facility. The City of Lake Forest intends to use
the first and second floors for its police department and plans to seek a tenant to lease the third floor.
After becoming aware of the issues affecting NIRCL, the City of Lake Forest offered the third-floor
space to NIRCL with favorable financial terms.
The proposed relocation to Lake Forest would benefit both the City of Lake Forest and NIRCL by
providing the parties with a long-term, stable facility arrangement. The relocation also provides
NIRCL with an opportunity to renovate a space specifically suited to its operational needs under
substantially more favorable financial terms than would otherwise be available.
To finance the costs associated with renovating the Lake Forest space, relocating from the existing
facility, and terminating the current facility lease, NIRCL is requiring each member agency to pay a
special assessment. The assessment is calculated based on each member agency’s proportionate share
of the total population served by the laboratory. Each agency may either make a one-time, lump-sum

payment or make annual payments over a 10-year period at an interest rate of 4%, with an additional
fee assessed in the first year.
In concert with the special assessment, the NIRCL is requesting that members execute an update and
restatement of the organizational bylaws. The updated bylaws are included in the packet.
Budgeted: No Financial Impact: If paid as a one-time lump sum, the Village of Northfield’s special
assessment will be $17,604.
If paid through annual installments at 4% interest, the Village would pay $4,540 in the first year and
$1,807 in each of the following nine years, for a total cost of $20,803. The agreement also provides
the option to make a lump-sum payment at any time to avoid additional interest costs.
Because this special assessment was not anticipated during budget development, the necessary funds
were not included in the current budget, and a Budget Amendment will be required.
The Village Manager recommends that the special assessment be paid under the lump sum option,
and the included ordinance reflects that approach.
Recommendation: The Police Chief and Village Manager recommend that the Village Board
authorize the Village Manager to execute the updated Intergovernmental Agreement with the NIRCL
and adopt an ordinance amending the FY27 budget to provide the necessary funds for a one-time,
lump-sum payment of the special assessment for $17,604.
The Police Department has maintained a decades-long partnership with NIRCL, which has
consistently provided the Village with reliable, high-quality forensic services. While the Illinois
State Police Crime Lab is the only alternative for forensic analysis, staff does not recommend using
that service due to reports from other agencies of substantial delays in receiving test results.
Attachment:
1. Fully Amended and Restated Intergovernmental Agreement of the Northeastern Illinois
Regional Crime Laboratory
2. Budget amendment ordinance.

NOW, THEREFORE, the Members further agree as follows:
Section 9 – Approval of Relocation Project and Project Costs
The Members hereby approve the relocation of NIRCL from the Existing Facility to the New Facility.
Approval includes costs related to the planning, design, construction, buildout, financing, leasing, lease

NIRCL Amended and Restated Intergovernmental Agreement | 4

Section 11 – Member Share; Special Project Assessment
Each Member Share of the Project Cost constitutes a special, project-specific assessment for the
Relocation Project. The Special Assessment is separate and distinct from NIRCL’s ordinary annual
membership assessment and from other annual, facility, capital improvement, service or other assessment
authorized under NIRCL’s Amended and Restated Intergovernmental Agreement, Constitution or
Bylaws.
Upon satisfaction of the Approval Threshold, described below, and completion of the Member
authorization and execution requirements, each participating Member’s Member Share shall constitute an
independent contractual obligation of that Member, subject to applicable law concerning budgeting,
appropriations and expenditure of public funds.
Each participating Member agrees to pay its Member Share in accordance with the attached payment
schedule attached hereto as “Exhibit 1”.The Members shall each budget and appropriate amounts
necessary to satisfy its obligations, subject to applicable law. Nothing in this 2026 IGA requires a
Member to expend funds except as legally authorized and appropriated.
The Member Share for the Relocation Project shall be determined using the population-based
methodology approved by NIRCL. An initial estimated Member Share may be used for budgeting and
planning. The final Member Share shall be based upon actual Project Costs and the approved allocation
methodology.
Members shall pay their Member Shares in accordance with the payment schedule established by NIRCL.
Each Member shall budget and appropriate amounts necessary to satisfy its obligations, subject to
applicable law. Nothing in this 2026 IGA shall be construed to require a Member to expend funds except
to the extent lawfully authorized, budgeted and appropriated.
Section 12 – Condition Precedent
Notwithstanding any other provision of this 2026 IGA, approval of the Relocation Project, authorization
of the Special Assessment, and authority of NIRCL to enter into binding contracts or financial obligations
for the Relocation Project shall not become effective unless and until the following Approval Threshold
has been satisfied.
Approval Threshold
Minimum Financial Commitment. The aggregate Committed Member Shares of the Affirmative
Members equal or exceed not less than 90% of the Total Approved Project Cost (the “Minimum
Financial Commitment”).
Unless this condition and Approval Threshold is satisfied, authorization of the Relocation Project is not
approved and no Special Assessment obligation shall become effective against any Member solely by
reason of the vote on this 2026 IGA.
For purposes of determining the Minimum Financial Commitment, each Affirmative Member’s
Committed Member Share shall be based upon the estimated Member Share established by NIRCL for
the Relocation Project, as subsequently adjusted in accordance with the approved population-based
methodology. Any percentage less than 100% of project cost, but not exceeding 10%, will be an adjusted
cost to the Affirmative Member’s Committed Share (see Exhibit 1).

NIRCL Amended and Restated Intergovernmental Agreement | 5

A Member’s dollar amount shall be counted toward the Minimum Financial Commitment only if: (a) the
Member has approved this 2026 IGA; (b) its Corporate Authorities have authorized the Member’s
participation and financial commitment to the extent required by applicable law; and (c) the Member has
executed the Member Counterpart Signature Page.
Section 13 – Authority Following Satisfaction of Threshold
Upon verification by the NIRCL Executive Board of Directors that the Approval Threshold has been
satisfied, it is authorized to proceed with implementation of the Relocation Project, including execution of
contracts and arrangements reasonably necessary to implement the Relocation Project.
NIRCL shall not enter into binding Project obligations in excess of the limits approved by the
membership until the Approval Threshold have been satisfied, except for professional, legal, planning and
other preliminary expenditures previously authorized by the Executive Board of Directors.
Section 14 – Failure To Meet Approval Threshold
No Member voting affirmatively shall be obligated to pay a Special Assessment solely because of its
affirmative vote unless and until the Approval Threshold has been satisfied and the Member has
completed the authorization and execution requirements stated in this 2026 IGA.
Section 15 – Relocation Project Approval Threshold and Commitments
No Member shall be obligated to pay a Relocation Project Special Assessment solely because of its
execution of this 2026 IGA unless and until the Approval Threshold has been satisfied and the Member
has completed the authorization and execution requirements applicable to it.
Once the applicable Approval Threshold has been satisfied, NIRCL may rely upon the commitments of
the participating Members and may undertake the Relocation Project and enter into construction
contracts, financing arrangements, lease or occupancy agreements, professional service agreements and
other commitments reasonably necessary or appropriate to accomplish the Relocation Project, subject to
the limits and conditions approved by the Members and applicable law.
Section 16 – Continuing Relocation Obligation After Cessation of Membership; no Ownership Interest
A Member’s obligations hereunder and its executed counterpart signature page shall remain enforceable
until the Member has fully satisfied all amounts for which it is responsible under the Relocation Project.
Resignation, withdrawal, termination, suspension, exclusion or other cessation of membership or
participation in NIRCL shall not release, discharge, diminish, suspend or otherwise affect the Member’s
obligation to pay its Member Share or other amounts properly due for the Relocation Project. A
Member’s withdrawal or cessation of membership shall not entitle the Member to a refund, credit, offset,
reduction or other recovery of any amount paid or owed toward the Relocation Project. Payment of a
Member Share does not create an ownership interest in the New Facility or in any other real or personal
property owned or leased by NIRCL. No termination, expiration, amendment or replacement of this 2026
IGA, NIRCL’s Constitution or NIRCL’s Bylaws shall, by itself, terminate or impair a Member’s
previously incurred obligations hereunder regarding the Relocation Project.
After the Approval Thresholds are satisfied, NIRCL is authorized to rely upon each participating
Member’s executed commitment in undertaking the Relocation Project and entering into construction
contracts, financing arrangements, lease arrangements, professional service agreements and other
commitments necessary or appropriate for the Relocation Project. Each Member acknowledges that
NIRCL may enter into such obligations in reliance upon the commitments established hereunder.

NIRCL Amended and Restated Intergovernmental Agreement | 6

Section 17 – Handling of Overfunding
If excess funds remain after all Project Costs are accounted for and paid, the NIRCL Board of Directors
shall determine whether to refund such excess funds to the participating Members or apply such excess
funds to reduce future assessments, subject to applicable law.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to funds received and allocated specifically for the
settlement, termination, satisfaction or other resolution of NIRCL’s existing lease obligations relating to
the Existing Facility, any savings or unused portion of such funds resulting from the actual amount
required to settle, terminate, satisfy or otherwise resolve such existing lease obligations shall be refunded
to the participating Members. Such refund shall be allocated among the participating Members in
proportion to their respective populations, using the same population tables and population-based
methodology used herein to allocate the Member Shares for the Relocation Project.
For purposes of this Section, the amount subject to refund shall be the difference between the amount of
funds received and specifically allocated for the Existing Facility lease settlement and the actual amount
ultimately paid or otherwise required to fully satisfy the applicable existing lease obligations, after taking
into account any credits, reimbursements, concessions, abatements or other amounts reducing the cost of
such settlement. The NIRCL Executive Board of Directors shall cause any such refund to be calculated
and distributed to the participating Members following final resolution of the Existing Facility lease
obligations and determination of the amount of the resulting savings.
Section 18 – Member Approval; Counterpart Approvals
Each Member Government shall approve this 2026 IGA by resolution, ordinance or motion of its
Corporate Authorities as required by applicable law and shall execute a separate counterpart signature
page. The separate counterpart signature pages are intended to facilitate approval and execution of this
2026 IGA by its 63 current Member Law Enforcement Agencies and their respective Member
Governments without requiring a single signature page containing all Member signatures.
A Member’s executed counterpart signature page, together with evidence of the Member’s required
approval, shall be maintained by NIRCL in electronic or paper form and shall constitute an original and
enforceable counterpart of this 2026 IGA. Counterparts may be executed separately and, when assembled
with the 2026 IGA, shall constitute one and the same instrument.
Each Member executing a counterpart represents and warrants that: (a) the Member is authorized to enter
into this 2026 IGA; (b) this 2026 IGA was approved by the Member’s Corporate Authorities at a legally
convened meeting, unless applicable law permits another method of authorization; (c) the action
approving this 2026 IGA was taken in accordance with the Member’s applicable laws, ordinances, rules
and procedures; and (d) the individual signing on behalf of the Member is duly authorized to execute this
2026 IGA.
Electronic signatures, digital signatures, scanned signatures and signatures transmitted electronically shall
be permitted and shall fully have the same force and effect as original handwritten signatures permitted by
applicable law. A Member may deliver its counterpart signature page by electronic transmission.
Section 19 – Indemnification
To the greatest extent permissible by law, NIRCL shall assume responsibility for the actions of its
employees acting pursuant to this 2026 IGA, including insurance, indemnification and protection of such
personnel, subject to applicable law.
Section 20 – Termination by Member
NIRCL Amended and Restated Intergovernmental Agreement | 7

Subject to the foregoing provisions governing a Member’s continuing Relocation Obligation with respect
to the Relocation Project, a Member may terminate its participation in this 2026 IGA by resolution or
other action of its Corporate Authorities as permitted by law. A certified copy or other reliable evidence
of the terminating action shall be filed with the NIRCL Executive Director and the President of the
NIRCL Executive Board within thirty (30) days after passage. Termination shall be effective ninety (90)
days after filing, unless a different effective date is required by applicable law or agreed in writing by
NIRCL.
If a Member does not approve this IGA and accompanying assessment resolution, but the resolution
passes based on approval threshold of other Members, that action shall be notice of termination without
any further action by the terminated Member or the NIRCL Members or Board of Directors. The
Member’s termination shall be effective (90) days after the resolution’s date of passage.
Termination by one Member shall not terminate this 2026 IGA as to any other Member. A terminating
Member remains liable for all fees and obligations incurred before the effective date of termination and
for all Relocation Project obligations that survive cessation of membership under Section 13.
SECTION 21 – Authority To Implement Relocation Project
The NIRCL Board of Directors and its authorized officers and agents are authorized and directed to take
actions and execute documents reasonably necessary or appropriate to implement this 2026 IGA and
accomplish the Relocation Project, provided that no action shall materially alter the population-based
allocation methodology or materially increase a Member’s obligations beyond the matters approved by
the Members without further approval as may be required under NIRCL’s governing documents or
applicable law.
Section 22 – Amendments
This 2026 IGA may be amended only by a written instrument approved by the Corporate Authorities of
each Member.
Section 23 – Miscellaneous Provisions
If any provision of this 2026 IGA is determined to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions
shall remain in full force and effect to the fullest extent permitted by law. This 2026 IGA shall be
governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Illinois. This 2026 IGA, constitutes
the entire agreement among the Members concerning the subject matter addressed herein and supersedes
all prior intergovernmental agreements approved by the Members relating to NIRCL including the June
2018 Intergovernmental Agreement. The existing Constitution and Bylaws of NIRCL remain in effect.
Section 24 – Future Members; Tier 1 and Tier 2 Members; Initiation Assessment
A. Tier 1 Members.
Each Member that approves and executes this 2026 IGA and approves the Relocation Project and
the Member's obligation to pay its allocated share of the Project Costs shall be designated a “Tier
1 Member.” The designation “Tier 1 Member” is solely intended to identify those Members that
have obligated themselves to fund their respective shares of the Relocation Project and the
Special Assessment established in connection therewith. The Tier 1 designation shall not confer

NIRCL Amended and Restated Intergovernmental Agreement | 8

upon, or deprive, any Member of any right, privilege, service, voting right, representation, or
other benefit of NIRCL membership.
B. Future Members; Tier 2 Members.
Any governmental entity that becomes a Member of NIRCL after the Effective Date of this 2026
IGA shall be designated a “Tier 2 Member.” The Tier 2 designation shall not affect the forensic
services, laboratory services, voting rights, participation rights, or other benefits available to such
Member by reason of its membership in NIRCL, except as expressly provided in this Section with
respect to the initiation assessment described below.
C. Tier 2 Initiation Assessment.
As a condition of admission to membership in NIRCL, each Tier 2 Member shall pay an
Initiation Assessment intended to equitably allocate to the new Member its proportionate share of
the construction and relocation costs previously funded or committed to be funded by the Tier 1
Members.
The Initiation Assessment shall be calculated using the same population-based allocation
methodology used to allocate the construction and relocation costs comprising the Relocation
Project assessment to the Tier 1 Members. The purpose of the Initiation Assessment is to ensure
that a governmental entity joining NIRCL after the Relocation Project has been undertaken
contributes its proportionate share of the capital costs necessary to establish the facility from
which that new Member will receive the same NIRCL services as existing Members.
D. Calculation of Initiation Assessment.
The Initiation Assessment for each Tier 2 Member shall be determined pursuant to a uniform
methodology established by the NIRCL Executive Board of Directors and applied consistently to
all Tier 2 Members. The methodology shall incorporate, at a minimum, the following principles:
1. the population of the Tier 2 Member shall be determined using the same population source
and methodology used in calculating the Tier 1 Members' shares of the Relocation Project;
2. the Tier 2 Member's population shall be divided by the total population of the NIRCL
membership for purposes of determining the Tier 2 Member's proportionate share;
3. the Initiation Assessment shall be based upon the construction and relocation costs of the
Relocation Project for which the Tier 1 Members were assessed, subject to such adjustments
as may be necessary to account for payments, credits, grants, financing costs, or other
amounts previously applied to or remaining payable with respect to those Project Costs;
4. the calculation shall be designed so that the admission of a Tier 2 Member does not impose
an additional capital cost upon the Tier 1 Members solely because of the admission of the
Tier 2 Member; and
5. the methodology may establish reasonable assumptions concerning municipal population, the
timing of payment, financing costs, inflation, depreciation or other factors necessary to apply
the methodology consistently to future Members whose admission occurs after completion or
substantial completion of the Relocation Project.
The Executive Board of Directors may establish and periodically update an administrative
schedule or formula implementing the foregoing principles; provided, however, that any such
NIRCL Amended and Restated Intergovernmental Agreement | 9

schedule or formula shall be applied consistently to similarly situated Tier 2 Members and shall
not materially alter the population-based allocation methodology without approval as otherwise
required by this Agreement or the governing documents of NIRCL.
E. Timing and Payment.
The Initiation Assessment shall be established and approved as part of the admission of each Tier
2 Member and shall be paid in accordance with payment terms established by the NIRCL
Executive Board of Directors consistent with the methodology described in this Section. Unless
otherwise approved by the Board of Directors, the Initiation Assessment shall be due before or
contemporaneously with the commencement of the new Member's participation in NIRCL.
The Board of Directors may permit a Tier 2 Member to pay its Initiation Assessment over time
under terms that reasonably account for the time value of money and any financing costs
associated with the Tier 2 Member's payment. Any financing or installment arrangement shall be
established pursuant to a uniform policy applicable to similarly situated Tier 2 Members.
F. Administration of Initiation Assessments.
All amounts received from Tier 2 Members as Initiation Assessments shall be administered,
accounted for, and applied in accordance with this 2026 IGA. Such amounts shall be maintained
and applied in a manner consistent with the purposes for which the Initiation Assessments are
imposed and shall not be treated as ordinary annual membership assessments.
To the extent that Initiation Assessments exceed the amounts necessary to reimburse, offset, or
otherwise account for the capital costs attributable to the Tier 2 Members under the applicable
methodology, the disposition of such excess amounts shall be determined by the Executive Board
of Directors and the applicable NIRCL governing documents.
G. No Reduction of Tier 1 Obligations.
The subsequent admission of a Tier 2 Member shall not reduce, discharge, or otherwise modify
the obligation of any Tier 1 Member with respect to amounts previously assessed or committed
by that Tier 1 Member, except to the extent that an actual credit, reimbursement, refund, or other
adjustment is expressly authorized pursuant to this 2026 IGA.
H. No Difference in Services or Membership Status.
The Tier 1 and Tier 2 designations are solely for purposes of identifying the capital funding
obligations associated with the Relocation Project. Neither designation shall create a different
class of forensic service, laboratory service, response priority, access to NIRCL personnel or
facilities, voting right, representation right, or other substantive membership benefit, except as
expressly provided in this Agreement or the NIRCL Constitution and Bylaws.
I.

Future Members Following Completion of Relocation Project.
The provisions of this Section shall continue to apply to governmental entities admitted to NIRCL
after completion of the Relocation Project. The fact that the Relocation Project has been
completed, or that the Tier 1 Members have paid all or substantially all of their respective
assessments, shall not eliminate the obligation of a subsequently admitted Tier 2 Member to pay
the applicable Initiation Assessment. The purpose of the Initiation Assessment is to maintain an
equitable allocation of the capital costs associated with establishing and maintaining the facility
serving the NIRCL membership.
NIRCL Amended and Restated Intergovernmental Agreement | 10

J. Admission Subject to Applicable Law.
Nothing in this Section shall be construed to require the admission of any governmental entity to
NIRCL or to supersede any requirement for approval of membership under the Illinois
Intergovernmental Cooperation Act, this Agreement, the NIRCL Constitution and Bylaws, or
other applicable law. Any governmental entity seeking membership shall satisfy all applicable
requirements for admission and shall execute the documents required by NIRCL for membership,
including an appropriate counterpart to this Agreement.

How to Read Table:
• Population: Agreed upon population number between lab and agency
used for annual assessments.
• % Total: Percentage of NIRCL membership population that a given agency
comprises. Used for proportionate share of funding.
Agency has two payment options for assessment:
1. One-Time Lump Sum: A single payment at start of construction that
covers construction, relocation, and lease resolution costs.
2. Financing - Annual Payment: An annual payment made over 10 years @
4% interest to cover construction and relocation costs.
• One-time Payment - Lease Resolution: If financing, a one-time upfront
payment made to be used to resolve current lease.
• If financing, annual payments can be made in excess of amount provided
to pay off earlier to avoid interest.
NOTES
• All payment amounts have a10% contingency included in event
assessment passes with 90% approval. 10% of lost revenue would be
reallocated to those agencies in favor.

NEW MEMBERS:
• New members will need to pay based upon same proportionate share
formula to share in capital improvemements.
• These initiation fees will managed by Executive Board of Directors for
purposes of reserve funding, annual assessment rebates, or other
financial vehicles to offset future costs for membership.

Board of Trustees Meeting
Agenda Item No: 07
Meeting Date: October 27, 2026

Discussion Only: ☐
Consider for Approval: ☒

Staff Contact: Brett Stewart, Administration
Subject: Adoption of a Resolution Declaring Surplus and Authorizing the Sale of 308 Happ Road,
Unit #203
Summary: The Village owns Unit 203, a recently vacant condominium unit at 308 Happ Road. At
the September 22, 2026, Committee of the Whole Meeting, the Committee reached consensus for
staff to take steps to sell the unit. The attached resolution declares the unit surplus and authorizes
commencing the sale process, with any final purchase and sale agreement returning to the Board for
approval.
Background Information: The Village owns six one-bedroom condominium units in the 308 Happ
Road building. These were purchased in 1989 during the construction of the residential building at
308 Happ Road when there was a perceived need for affordable senior housing units. At the October
28, 2025, Committee of the Whole Meeting, the Committee discussed divesting the units as they are
vacated.
At the September 22, 2026, Committee of the Whole Meeting, the recent vacancy of Unit # 203 was
discussed. The unit was found to not be in poor condition for sale in the existing markets. A
number of appliances, the HVAC unit, and the overall condition were found to be in need of
attention. Staff consulted with Virginia Trux, a real estate agent who previously helped evaluate
the Village’s units and specializes in helping seniors find housing, to tour the unit. She agreed that
improvements were needed to attract buyers who preferred move-in ready units. The Committee
concurred with updating the unit for sale and engaging Ms. Trux.
For the sale of property, the Village must follow a process that differs from private home ownership.
The initial steps are to obtain a market appraisal and declare the property as surplus. The attached
resolution declares the unit as surplus and authorizes the engagement of a real estate agent. Staff
has engaged Real Valuation Services, an MAI-certified Illinois-licensed appraiser, to conduct an
appraisal, and the report is included with the packet.
Once the updates to the unit are complete, the property will be listed for sale. When an acceptable
offer is received, a purchase and sale agreement will be presented for action by the Board.
Budgeted: No Financial Impact: Adopting this resolution has no immediate financial impact. Costs
to prepare the unit, including appliances and an HVAC unit, are being procured under the Village’s
purchasing policy. No revenue from the sale of the property has been anticipated in the budget.
However, expenses related to the installation of a new HVAC system are budgeted.
Recommendation: Staff recommends that the Board of Trustees adopt the Resolution Declaring
Real Property to be Surplus and Authorizing the Sale of the Certain Real Property Located at 308
Happ Road, Unit 203.

The aforementioned comparables were chosen due to their similar location and/or style and condition.
Square footages for the subject property and comparables were obtained from the Cook County Assessor's Office. Where assessor records
were unavailable or appeared inaccurate, square footages were obtained from a multiplier derived from the market.
The appraiser uses a variety of data services such as public and private online databases which include assessor's records, county
recorders, FEMA Flood Maps, county websites, local zoning maps an/or phone confirmations by the appropriate zoning authorities, local
MRED MLS information, or any other reliable sources considered typical for the market area. All sources are considered to be reliable
sources of data. When discrepancies in the information are found, the appraiser will use the source(s) that is believed to be the most reliable
in the appraisal report. The appraiser will report only the data pertinent to the valuation process. When applicable, the data presented in the
Sales Comparison Approach has been verified by more than one source unless otherwise noted.
The 4 comparables used in the analysis were the best available at this time to compare to the subject property. All 4 comparables offer
similar overall utility and function. Comparables 1-4 are reported closed. Comparable 4 exceeds a 12 months sales period, but was
included to provide an additional closed sale from the subject's project. Comparable 4 required a 3.5% positive time adjustment to account

were applied at $100 per square foot. Comparables 2 and 3 required downward adjustments for having superior project facilities.
Comparables 2 and 3 required negative view adjustments for having superior residential/pond views. Comparables 1-4 required
positive/negative condition adjustments for degrees of superior/inferior overall condition. Comparables 1, 3 and 4 were adjusted downward
for having superior kitchen and bath upgrades/renovations where warranted. Comparable 2 was sold in as is condition with singnificant
repairs required and received a positive condition adjustment. The remaining adjustments are indicated on the sales comparison grid.
The adjusted range for the 4 closed comparable sales was $219,600 to $229,900 with the opinion of value falling near the middle of the
adjusted range. The final opinion of market value was reconciled at $225,000 with comparable 1 receiving the most weight for being the
most recent sale from the subject's project.

The cost approach was not completed due to the age of the subject and the subjectivity in estimating depreciation

APPRAISAL DEVELOPMENT AND REPORTING PROCESS
This is an Appraisal Report presented in a concise reporting format which is intended to comply with the reporting requirements
set forth under Standards Rule 2-2(a) of the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice. As such, it presents only
summary discussions of the data, reasoning, and analyses that were used in the appraisal process to develop the appraiser's
opinion of value. Supporting documentation that is not provided with the report concerning the data, reasoning, and analyses is
retained in the appraiser's file. The depth of the discussion contained in this report is specific to the needs of the client and/or
its assigned for the intended use stated in this report. The appraiser is not responsible for the unauthorized use of this report.
To develop the opinion of value, the appraiser performed a complete appraisal process, as defined by the Uniform Standards of
Professional Appraisal Practice.
If this appraisal report was transmitted as an "electronic record" containing my "electronic signature," as those terms are
defined in applicable federal and/or state laws (excluding audio and video recordings), or a facsimile transmission of this
appraisal report containing a copy or representation of my signature, the appraisal report shall be as effective, enforceable and
valid as if a paper version of this appraisal report were delivered containing my original hand written signature.
PURPOSE OF THE APPRAISAL
The purpose of this appraisal is to estimate the market value of the subject property, as of the effective date of the appraisal.
INTENDED USE / USER / CLIENT
The Intended Use is to evaluate the property that is the subject of this appraisal for market value purposes, subject to the stated
Scope of Work, purpose of the appraisal, reporting requirements of this appraisal report form, and Definition of Market Value.
No additional Intended Users are identified by the appraiser.
APPRAISAL DATA
The appraiser has taken all appropriate steps to collect and consider the best and most relevant data available. See the Scope
of Work Statement. The appraiser has relied on data provided by typical industry third parties, such as MLS, public documents,
flood map services and others. While data collected is not warranted as flawless by the supplier or the appraiser, the Appraiser
believes the data provided is reliable and reasonable to meet the need for this report. Should any information that was provide
by any third party later be proved unreasonably inaccurate or unreliable, this appraiser reserves the right to consider the impact
of the newly discovered information and the conclusions in this report may or may not be modified as a result.
PROPERTY OBSERVATIONS
A “complete visual inspection” includes a walking tour of the property, interior and exterior and viewing all readily observable
items; observing the floor plan and layout; identifying relevant amenities, evaluating conformity of the subject with the
neighborhood; observing general conditions; assessing functional utility; measuring the house or utilizing other data and
information to calculate the living area, and noting any renovations or remodeling that may have been done to the property. A
“complete visual inspection” does not include observing or viewing any portion of the property not readily accessible from a
walking tour include full access to attics and/or crawl spaces; activation or operation of all mechanicals, electrical, or plumbing
equipment or fixtures; any observation or viewing of the roof surface other than that which is readily viewable from ground level;
or activation or testing of any water system of sewage or septic tank; walking the entire home site if the size and/or topography
do not readily allow. THE APPRAISER IS NOT A QUALIFIED HOME INSPECTOR NOR ENGINEER AND DOES NOT
REPRESENT THOSE SERVICES. THIS APPRAISAL IS NOT A WARRANTY AGAINST ANY DEFECT OF THE
IMPROVEMENTS.
THE COMMENTS BY THE LICENSED REAL ESTATE APPRAISER CONTAINED WITHIN THIS APPRAISAL REPORT ON
THE CONDITION OF THE PROPERTY DO NOT ADDRESS “STANDARDS OF PRACTICE” AS DEFINED IN THE HOME
INSPECTOR LICENSE ACT [225ILCS 441] AND 68 ILL. ADM. CODE 1410 AND ARE NOT TO BE CONSIDERED A HOME
INSPECTION OR HOME INSPECTION REPORT.
SITE COMMENTS
The site is typical of the neighborhood in terms of topography, view and general appeal. It provides a suitable setting for the
improvements and is consistent with market expectations in this area. Unless otherwise noted, standard utility and right of way
easements are insignificant to value. However, a current locational or boundary survey or title report may reveal
encroachments, easements, zoning violations or other matters of interest that could warrant modifications of the appraised
value.
HIGHEST AND BEST USE
In compliance with USPAP the following is included in the appraisal;
The rationale and support for the opinion of highest and best use developed for this assignment is as per below:
Highest and Best Use is defined as “The reasonably probable and legal use of vacant land or an improved property that is
physically possible, appropriately supported, financially feasible, and that results in the highest value. The four criteria the
highest and best use must meet are legal permissibility, physical possibility, financial feasibility, and maximum productivity.
Alternatively, the probable use of land or improved property-specific with respect to the user and timing of the use-that is
adequately supported and results in the highest present value”

The highest and best use analysis is a critical step in the valuation process. The comparable properties incorporated into the
appraisal are directly affected by the highest and best use analysis. The analysis is based on the use that a hypothetical
purchaser would make of the property based on the four tests cited below:
Legally Permissible - The use must be legal and probable. That is, the use must conform to existing zoning restrictions, or
there must be a reasonable likelihood a rezoning or variance may be granted.
Physically Possible - The test of physical possibility addresses the physical characteristics associated with the site that might
affect it's highest and best use. The size, shape, terrain, accessibility of land and risk of natural disasters affect the uses to
which land can be put.
Financially Feasible - Land may be developed with different uses. Only those uses, which produce a positive net return over
time, are deemed financially viable. This use must not depress surrounding property values.
Maximum Productivity - Of all the uses that fulfill the first three tests, there is only one use, which produces the greatest return.
This single use represents the property's Highest and Best Use. Supply and demand are constantly fluctuation, so its common
for a property's Highest and Best Use to change.
The current use of the real estate as of the date of value is Residential as described in the improvements section of this
appraisal.
After consideration of the above criteria it has been determined that the current improvements continue to contribute to the total
market value of the property. The Highest and Best Use as the current use appears reasonable.
MARKET CONDITIONS
The appraiser has examined recent sales and listing information as is available. An examination of the recent sales and current
listings is presented in this report.

Market Supply
The appraiser realizes that there are various industry understandings and definitions for what determines the equilibrium in the
supply / demand curve for residential single family real estate in a local market area. The reason that the appraiser chooses a
12 month period is to be consistent with the same time period chosen for the property value trends. Furthermore, its is not
feasible to determine the actual current demand (doing so would require an accurate count of all potential buyers in the subjects
neighborhood boundaries as of the effective date of the appraisal), it is assumed demand will continue at the same rate as it
has over the prior 12 months.

Market Time
The appraiser notes that there are different ways to calculate the number of days on market. In an effort to calculate the most
meaningful number of days on market, the appraiser considers the number of days on market for SOLD properties as of the
most current listing. Furthermore, this number is readily available from the MRED MLS service and represents the number of
days required to bring a contract from the listing date of the most current listing. The number of days on market indicated on the
Market Conditions summary in the Neighborhood section of page one represents the number of days that a listing was active

NEIGHBORHOOD DESCRIPTION
Northfield is an established residential community on Chicago’s North Shore in Cook County, located approximately 20 miles
north of downtown Chicago with convenient access to the Edens Expressway (I-94). The village is known for its suburban
character, well-maintained neighborhoods, strong municipal services, and proximity to employment, shopping, and recreation
throughout the North Shore.
CONDITION OF MATERIALS
The description of the surface facing building materials are provided to convey, only to the intended user of this report, a
general sense the overall appointments and general finishes in terms of maintenance, modernization, and general appeal in
support of estimates of effective age, remaining economic life, and for general comparison of area market expectation.

RECONCILIATION AND FINAL VALUE CONCLUSION
The SALES COMPARABLE APPROACH is considered the best indicator of value because it reflects the attitudes of the buyers
and sellers in the marketplace. It is considered the most reliable method for a supported market value and is relied upon for this
report.
The COST APPROACH was considered and determined to be un-necessary to produce credible assignment results. The Cost
Approach to value estimates the property value as the value of its components, the underlying land, and the depreciated value
of the improvements. Because there is insufficient market evidence to credibly support the derivation of total depreciation, the
cost approach was not considered relevant and not developed.
The INCOME APPROACH to value estimates the value of a property based on the income of the property. This approach was
not considered applicable due to the fact that the majority of housing stock in the area is owner occupied and not typically used
for investment property.
CONDITIONS OF APPRAISAL
The subject property is appraised in fee simple title, assuming no liens or encumbrances other than normal covenants and
restrictions of record.
The comparable photographs may have been provided by the Multiple Listing Service. The photographs depict their
appearance at the time of market exposure and sale.
The appraiser has been engaged to perform an opinion of value. If subsequent developments or a disagreement should arise,
users of this appraisal agree that the appraiser may not be held liable for damages in excess of the amount that he or she was
paid for doing the appraisal.

STATEMENT OF ASSUMPTIONS & LIMITING CONDITIONS
- The appraiser will not be responsible for matters of a legal nature that affect either the property being appraised or the title to it. The appraiser
assumes that the title is good and marketable and, therefore, will not render any opinions about the title. The property is appraised on the basis
of it being under responsible ownership.
- The appraiser may have provided a sketch in the appraisal report to show approximate dimensions of the improvements, and any such
sketch
is included only to assist the reader of the report in visualizing the property and understanding the appraiser's determination of its size. Unless
otherwise indicated, a Land Survey was not performed.
- If so indicated, the appraiser has examined the available flood maps that are provided by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (or
other
data sources) and has noted in the appraisal report whether the subject site is located in an identified Special Flood Hazard Area. Because the
appraiser is not a surveyor, he or she makes no guarantees, express or implied, regarding this determination.
- The appraiser will not give testimony or appear in court because he or she made an appraisal of the property in question, unless specific
arrangements to do so have been made beforehand.
- If the cost approach is included in this appraisal, the appraiser has estimated the value of the land in the cost approach at its highest and
best
use, and the improvements at their contributory value. These separate valuations of the land and improvements must not be used in
conjunction
with any other appraisal and are invalid if they are so used. Unless otherwise specifically indicated, the cost approach value is not an
insurance
value, and should not be used as such.
- The appraiser has noted in the appraisal report any adverse conditions (including, but not limited to, needed repairs, depreciation, the
presence
of hazardous wastes, toxic substances, etc.) observed during the inspection of the subject property, or that he or she became aware of during
the
normal research involved in performing the appraisal. Unless otherwise stated in the appraisal report, the appraiser has no knowledge of any
hidden or unapparent conditions of the property, or adverse environmental conditions (including, but not limited to, the presence of hazardous
wastes, toxic substances, etc.) that would make the property more or less valuable, and has assumed that there are no such conditions and
makes no guarantees or warranties, express or implied, regarding the condition of the property. The appraiser will not be responsible for any
such conditions that do exist or for any engineering or testing that might be required to discover whether such conditions exist. Because the
appraiser is not an expert in the field of environmental hazards, the appraisal report must not be considered as an environmental assessment
of

DEFINITION OF MARKET VALUE *:
Market value means the most probable price which a property should bring in a competitive and open market under all conditions requisite
to a fair sale, the buyer and seller each acting prudently and knowledgeably, and assuming the price is not affected by undue stimulus.
Implicit in this definition is the consummation of a sale as of a specified date and the passing of title from seller to buyer under conditions
whereby:
1. Buyer and seller are typically motivated;
2. Both parties are well informed or well advised and acting in what they consider their own best interests;
3. A reasonable time is allowed for exposure in the open market;
4. Payment is made in terms of cash in U.S. dollars or in terms of financial arrangements comparable thereto; and
5. The price represents the normal consideration for the property sold unaffected by special or creative financing or sales concessions
granted by anyone associated with the sale.
* This definition is from regulations published by federal regulatory agencies pursuant to Title XI of the Financial Institutions
Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act (FIRREA) of 1989 between July 5, 1990, and August 24, 1990, by the Federal Reserve System
(FRS), National Credit Union Administration (NCUA), Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS),
and the Office of Comptroller of the Currency (OCC). This definition is also referenced in regulations jointly published by the OCC, OTS,
FRS, and FDIC on June 7, 1994, and in the Interagency Appraisal and Evaluation Guidelines, dated October 27, 1994.
The Scope of Work is the type and extent of research and analyses performed in an appraisal assignment that is required to produce credible
assignment results, given the nature of the appraisal problem, the specific requirements of the intended user(s) and the intended use of the
appraisal report. Reliance upon this report, regardless of how acquired, by any party or for any use, other than those specified in this report
by
the Appraiser, is prohibited. The Opinion of Value that is the conclusion of this report is credible only within the context of the Scope of
Work, Effective Date, the Date of Report, the Intended User(s), the Intended Use, the stated Assumptions and Limiting Conditions, any
Hypothetical Conditions and/or Extraordinary Assumptions, and the Type of Value, as defined herein. The appraiser, appraisal firm, and
related parties assume no obligation, liability, or accountability, and will not be responsible for any unauthorized use of this report or its
conclusions.
Additional Comments (Scope of Work, Extraordinary Assumptions, Hypothetical Conditions, etc.):
In developing this appraisal, the appraiser has incorporated the Sales Comparison Approach to value. The Sales Comparison Approach was
given sole emphasis as it best displays seller/buyer attitudes in the market place. The Income Approach was not developed because single
family properties are traditionally purchased for the owner to occupy instead of rental income. The Cost Approach was not developed since it
often can be difficult to estimate the amount by which a property has depreciated, or determine the degree for which a property may suffer
functional or external obsolescence.
The data sources for the comparable sales may include public record data services, multiple listing services, and/or other data sources that
become available. The confirmation of comparable sale data, i.e. closed sale documentation and property characteristics, is via public data
sources only. The data is collected, verified, and analyzed in accordance with the scope of work identified and the intended use of the
appraisal.
The appraiser acknowledges that an estimate of a reasonable time for the exposure in the open market is a condition in the definition of
market value. The subject’s marketing time is assumed to be typical for the subject’s market area.

Board of Trustees Meeting
Agenda Item No: 08
Meeting Date: October 27, 2026

Discussion Only: ☐
Consider for Approval: ☒

Staff Contact: Matt Huebner, Public Works
Subject: Adoption of a Resolution Waiving Bids and Ratifying the Execution of an Agreement with
Midwest Salt, LLC to Purchase Road Salt in the Amount of $57,574.75
Summary: The Village, like many of its neighbors, received no bids as part of the annual joint
bidding process for road salt. As a result, the communities were faced with pressure from suppliers
to execute agreements with price locks of two to three days or face the potential for not having
access to road salt. The Village Manager determined the situation to be urgent and authorized the
Public Works Superintendent to execute a purchase agreement with Midwest Salt for the most
favorable rate possible.
Background Information: The Village of Northfield participated in the state bid for road salt
through the Illinois Department of Central Management Services. Unfortunately, due to a salt
shortage in the Midwest, there were zero vendors willing to bid on the Illinois road salt contract.
Public Works staff reached out to major suppliers that have previously provided salt to the Village
of Northfield, and all suppliers were unwilling to work on a contract and commit to supplying salt to
the Village of Northfield. Other communities have reported the same results.
In the absence of large suppliers, Midwest Salt reached out to some communities offering a limited
supply of salt that they can provide, on a first-come, first-served basis. The price was $121.21/ton
delivered, which is higher than expected. However, the expense is in line with amounts being
charged to other communities in the area.
Due to the urgency, staff worked with Village Manager Brennan to determine the best course of
action. Due to the necessity of having road salt for the winter season, the Village Manager
authorized Superintendent of Public Works, Matt Huebner, to execute the purchase agreement with
Midwest Salt, LLC for 475 tons, which is the anticipated amount necessary for the winter season.
The total cost is $57,574.75.
Purchase of consumable items exceeding $25,000 is typically conducted through a bidding process.
Due to the failed bid process and urgency of the matter, the Village Manager is requesting that the
Village Board waive the sealed bidding requirement and ratify the execution of the purchase
agreement.
Budgeted: No Financial Impact: Staff budgeted $42,000.00 for salt purchases this fiscal year.
Due to the salt shortage, the contracted price exceeds the budgeted amount by $15,574.75.
Sufficient funds are available to cover the expected overage.
Recommendation: The Village Manager requests ratification of the execution of the purchase
agreement and waiver of the bidding process.
Attachment: Resolution and Executed purchase agreement with Midwest Salt, LLC

Subject: Adoption of an Ordinance Granting Relief from the Zoning Ordinance Off-Street Parking
Regulations for the Middlefork School at 405 Wagner Road.
Summary: District 29 is planning on replacing the existing Middlefork Primary School with a new
building and is seeking relief from the following off-street parking requirements contained in the
Zoning Code:

~30’*
Driveway Width
*All of these existing conditions are legally non-conforming; however, because the site is being
reconfigured with new construction, grandfathered status is nullified, and the proposed plan
requires official relief to be obtained.
Background Information: The new school building will be shifted further back on the property,
and the drop off/pick up area in front of the school will be reconfigured to accommodate parallel
parking, a larger on-site vehicle queuing area, a vehicle turn around/switchback, and a wider
northern driveway to accommodate one entry lane and two exit lanes.
The proposed parking is essentially the same as the existing parking – same number of spaces in
almost the same location. The school also has access to stalls in the adjacent park district parking
lot and on-street parking on Wagner Road. A wider driveway is necessary to accommodate the
proposed expansion of the on-site queuing area. The expanded queuing area and circulation plan
are designed to improve the traffic congestion on Wagner Road during the school’s drop-off and pickup times.
Parking variations require a hearing with the Plan & Zoning Commission and approval by the
Village Board. On October 5, the Plan & Zoning Commission reviewed the proposed off-street
parking requirement variations and recommended their approval by a unanimous vote.
Other zoning variations sought by District 29 were vetted and granted final approval by the ZBA.
The Architectural Commission reviewed and approved the project's architecture, lighting and
landscaping, and variations to several landscaping and lighting requirements. These aspects of the
project are not required to be approved by the Village Board.

To grant the variances requested as shown in the table above, an ordinance is required. The draft
ordinance has been prepared for action by the Village Board.
Budgeted: N/A. Financial Impact: None
Recommendation: Staff recommends the Village Board consider the Plan & Zoning Commission
recommendation to approve an ordinance granting District 29 the requested relief from certain
Zoning Code off-street parking requirements.

MEETING DATE:

OCTOBER 5, 2026

SUBJECT:

VARIATION TO OFF-STREET PARKING REQUIREMENTS – 405
WAGNER ROAD – MIDDLEFORK PRIMARY SCHOOL
___________________________________________________________________________
PETITIONER

The petitioner is Sunset Ridge School District 29, owner of the property at 405 Wagner Road.
REQUEST
The petitioner is planning on replacing the existing one-story Middlefork Primary School building
at 405 Wagner Road with a new two-story school building. The new school building will be shifted
further back on the property and the drop off/pick up area in front of the school will be reconfigured
to accommodate parallel parking, a larger on-site vehicle queuing area, a vehicle turn
around/switchback and a wider northern driveway to accommodate one entrance lane and two
exit lanes.
The petitioner is seeking several variations to the Zoning Code’s parking regulations to
accommodate their plans. We’ve outlined the requested variations below:
Code
Section
20.2.F

Issue

Requirement

Required Off-Street Parking

57

Proposed

10 on-site (same as
current parking)
Not
allowed
in Located in required
required front yard
front yard which is 35’
25’
37.2’

The new school does not require a special use or PUD. The Plan & Zoning Commission is
charged with reviewing variations to the Zoning Code’s off-street parking regulations and making
a recommendation to the Village Board on whether to grant the requested parking variations.
The design aspects of the new school project will be vetted by the Architectural Commission and
several Zoning Code variations, not related to our parking regulations, will be vetted by the ZBA.

VEHICLE PARKING AND CIRCULATION

The new school will have 23 classrooms and 45 employees. The Zoning Code requires one
parking space for each employee and one space for each two classrooms which equates to 57
spaces. The petitioner is proposing to provide 10 parking spaces along the west edge of their
reconfigured pick up/drop off area - the same number they have currently. The proposed parking
is virtually in the same location as the existing parking spaces which are already in the required
front yard. The petitioner does not anticipate a significant increase in school enrollment post
construction.
The petitioner also has shared use of the Northfield Park District parking lot just south of the
school property. The Park District lot contains 98 spaces. The petitioner does not get technical
credit for the Park District parking because the Park District doesn’t meet its technical Code
requirement of 195 spaces (one space for every 5,000 sq.ft. of park land), so on paper they don’t
have excess parking to share. The Park District does report that the shared use during the school
day has not created any parking issues for them. There are also 44 on-street 90 degree parking
spaces on the east side of Wagner Road within the public right of way. This on-street parking is
open to the public and during school days is primarily used by the petitioner and park users.
In their planning the petitioner sought to mitigate some of the traffic congestion that occurs on
Wagner Road due to vehicles queuing on the street during drop off/pick up times. Sometimes
the existing on-site queuing area which has storage for 19 cars fills up and the queue backs up
onto northbound Wagner Road. On rare occasions this queue on northbound Wagner Road will
back up to Willow Road. The spillover also inhibits vehicles traveling southbound on Wagner
Road from turning left into the site causing queues on southbound Wagner Road. Then you have
vehicles not headed to the school trying to drive around the on-street queues.
Their design team is proposing to close off the southern driveway to the general public and to
have the northern driveway serve as the entrance and exit for the drop off/pick-up area. Thus,
the need for the 37.2’ driveway width which requires a variation. Once a vehicle enters the site
they will turn south until they come to a switchback turning area at the south end of the site. The
vehicle will then turn north and then drop their children off at the north end of the site. The
proposed plan would create queuing storage for 37 cars on-site, nearly doubling their current onsite queuing capacity. The existing queuing layout and the proposed layout are illustrated in Exh1 and 2 of their application (see pages 18-19 of the digital version of the application).
The petitioner’s design team was not able to quite fit all of this on the school’s site and a portion
of the turnaround would push approximately 16’ into the Wagner Road parkway and cause a slight
adjustment to the public sidewalk. This would need to be approved by the Village Board under a
license agreement – a separate process.
The petitioner had a traffic impact study done by their traffic consultant KLOA. The study
concluded that the new school would not generate a significant increase in traffic volume and
that the reconfigured queuing design will significantly improve the traffic congestion on Wagner
Road. The study also concluded the number of parking spaces available to the school users
will be more than adequate. The KLOA study is included in the petitioner’s application material.
In the study’s appendix there are Drop Off/Pick Up Lane Aerial Photos which show the existing
queueing on a particular school day last fall (see page 73 of the digital version of the
application). You may find this helpful. Village had the KLOA study reviewed by our traffic
consultant Kimley-Horn and they agreed with the study’s conclusions.

Page 2 of 4

Staff asked the petitioner’s team to have KLOA address in their study whether a mid-block
crosswalk should be installed to assist parents and students crossing Wagner Road at
unmarked locations, particularly families with students attending both Middlefork Primary School
and Northfield Community Nursery School which is housed in Northfield Community Church
directly across the street. This was their response via email – “The number of pedestrians
crossing Wagner Road at unmarked locations was low with a total of 15 pedestrians in a fivehour period. Further, the need for the midblock crosswalk is in question as parents/students
can cross Wagner Road at either its signalized intersection with Willow Road or its all-way stop
sign controlled intersection with Old Willow Road which provides for safer crossings than an
uncontrolled, midblock crossing. Please note that the School District is willing to work with the
Village to coordinate an appropriate solution if the Village deems the crossing is necessary.”
In our own observations of the pick-up and drop off operations, both Kimley-Horn and Village staff
confirmed that only a few people were crossing Wagner Road midblock from the Church parking
lot to the school. The question of whether to install a crosswalk and if so where it would be located
is tied to the new school building and related improvements and we anticipated it would be raised
during the meetings, hence the question to KLOA. This is more for your information than an
actionable item.
DEPARTMENT REPORTS
The proposed plans were routed to the Fire, Police and Public Works Departments for their review
and comments on traffic, parking, on-site emergency vehicle circulation and the use of the public
right of way.
The Fire Department would prefer to be able to circulate around the back of the building and exit
without turning their large fire apparatus around, however, they appreciate the petitioner’s site
constraints and are satisfied with the proposed emergency access. The Police Department
believes the new queuing configuration will significantly improve the existing traffic congestion.
The Public Works Department is not concerned with the use of the ROW, provided the existing
water hydrants and services are accounted for in the petitioner’s final construction plans.
STAFF COMMENTS
Based on the petitioner’s traffic impact study and the Village traffic engineering consultant’s
concurrence with that study, there is adequate parking for the proposed new school building and
the new queueing and driveway configuration will improve traffic congestion on Wagner Road.
The new school building will not significantly increase parking demand or vehicle trips. The
proposed location of the on-site parking is in the same location as the existing parking which is
already within the required front yard. In addition, the Fire, Police and Public Works Departments
have no objections to the proposed plans. For these reasons, staff is supportive of the requested
off-street parking variations.
COMMISSION ACTION
If the Commission is amenable to the variation requests it may wish to consider the following
motion:
Motion to recommend to the Village Board approval of the requested relief from the Zoning Code’s
off-street parking regulations to allow Sunset Ridge School District 29 to build a new Middlefork
Primary School at 405 Wagner Road, in accordance with the Petitioners Application and
Supporting Materials, date stamped September 25, 2026, subject to the following conditions:

Traffic Study Review
Middlefork Elementary School Reconstruction
Northfield, IL

Introduction
Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. (Kimley-Horn) was retained by the Village of Northfield to conduct a peer
review of a traffic impact study prepared by Kenig Lindgren O’Hara Aboona (KLOA) for the proposed
reconstruction of Middlefork Elementary School, located at 405 Wagner Road in Northfield, Illinois. The
proposed plan includes the reconstruction of the academic wing and reconfiguration of the drop-off/pick-up
lane located on the west side of the school. The school is currently served by three driveways on Wagner
Road: an enter-only South Access, an exit-only North Access, and a gated right-in/right-out Middle Access.
The proposed plan would reduce the number of driveways to two: a gated emergency access near the
existing South Access and a single driveway near the existing North Access which would serve both
entering and exiting traffic. Under the proposed configuration, all drop-off/pick-up traffic would enter/exit via
this single northern driveway with one southbound queueing lane that U-turns and continues north in front
of the school with two lanes serving drop-off/pick-up activity (one lane for queueing and curbside loading
and one lane to bypass).
The traffic impact study review focuses on the study methodology, key findings, and recommendations
related to transportation conditions in the site vicinity. As appropriate, suggested revisions or additional
report components are identified for the development team’s consideration. The review does not confirm
analysis calculations or recreate analysis files referenced in the study. Key steps of the review include
assessing the study methodology, reviewing the report prepared by KLOA (August 2026), and providing
feedback to the development team on the traffic study, and reviewing report updates. Additionally, KimleyHorn’s review is supported by a site visit to Middlefork Elementary School in late September to observe and
document traffic conditions, largely focusing on pick-up activity during school dismissal periods.
This memorandum documents review of the traffic study for the proposed Middlefork Elementary School
reconstruction, provides comments for consideration, and summarizes key findings of the review.

Study Methodology
The following summarizes key areas of the traffic impact study review methodology for the proposed school
reconstruction. Areas of concurrence or instances of revisions made to the study to address comments
provided to KLOA are underlined in the summary below.

Existing Conditions














The site is located on the northeast quadrant of the Willow Road/Wagner Road intersection in
Northfield, Illinois. The study area includes the following intersections:
- Willow Road / Wagner Road
- Wagner Road / Northfield Community
- Wagner Road / Northfield Park District
Church North Access
- Wagner Road / Middlefork North
Access
- Wagner Road / Northfield Community
Access
Church South Access
- Wagner Road / Old Willow Road
- Wagner Road / Middlefork South
Access
The study area includes all intersections along the site’s western frontage and immediately adjacent
to the site. Given the proposed reconstruction, the study area covers the intersections that would
reasonably be considered as most impacted by school-related traffic.
Figure 3 indicates the Middlefork North Access has a shared left/right-turn lane on the east leg. A
review of aerial imagery shows dedicated left- and right-turn lanes. The figure has been revised
accordingly in an updated report. Other identified existing traffic controls, lane configurations, and
other street characteristics are properly summarized in the report.
The Introduction section indicates that nine parallel parking spaces are provided along the dropoff/pick-up lane, whereas later sections refer to 10 total spaces (nine standard + one ADA space).
A review of aerial imagery shows ten total spaces; thus, the Introduction text has been revised
accordingly.
The Site Location section mentions Middlefork’s proximity to Northfield Community Church. KimleyHorn recommends also noting that the Northfield Community Nursery School operates within the
church, as some families may have siblings enrolled at both schools. The report has been
subsequently updated to include mention of the nursery school.
Crash data is reported for the 2021-2025 period, indicating that the highest frequency crash location
is the Willow Road/Wagner Road intersection with 12 crashes in the 5-year period. Kimley-Horn
concurs with the crash data summary and review provided in the report.
Kimley-Horn concurs with the weekday morning (7:30-9:30 AM) and weekday afternoon (2:00-4:00
PM) analysis periods, which represent the periods of peak activity in the study area and at the
school.



Kimley-Horn concurs with the Existing Capacity Analysis at the key intersections. The capacity
analysis has been conducted using Synchro/SimTraffic 12 software, and the reports have been
provided in the appendix of the study. Based on a review of existing traffic volumes, the reported
delays are reasonable.

Existing School Operations






In the School Parking and Access section, the Park District parking lot is not included as a parking
area available to the school. Kimley-Horn recommended adding this information for consistency,
and the report has been subsequently updated.
The study indicates school staff efficiently assist with student unloading/loading and direct traffic
through the drop-off/pick-up lane. Kimley-Horn recommended providing a summary of specific
traffic management strategies used by staff (i.e., number of staff, placard system, etc.) to support
this statement. The report has since been updated to include specific traffic management
strategies, and details of the drop-off/pick-up procedures have been provided in the appendix.
Queues are described as extending onto Wagner Road in the north and south directions. KimleyHorn recommended quantifying the observed queues using site observations, aerial imagery, or
other available information. The report has been updated to include aerial imagery in the appendix.
The updated text details the maximum queue of 18 vehicles in the pick-up/drop-off lane with six
and seven vehicles spilling southbound and northbound onto Wagner Road, respectively.

Traffic Characteristics of the Reconstructed School








On page 9, the study indicates that additional stacking capacity in the reconstructed drop-off/pickup lane would ensure no vehicle queues extend to Wagner Road. To support this claim, KimleyHorn recommended providing a comparison of the proposed queue capacity of the lane and the
projected queue (with 10% traffic increase). The report has since been updated.
The study indicates that a significant number of parking spaces are available during peak drop-off
and pick-up operations and references supporting aerial imagery. Kimley-Horn recommended
quantifying this capacity and providing supporting aerial imagery, and the report has since been
updated.
On page 13, the study references 154 parking spaces available to the school. A review of aerial
photography and other sections of the report indicate 153 available parking spaces. The total
number of spaces was confirmed to be 153 spaces, and the updated report includes this revision.
The Future Traffic Volumes section calculates projected traffic by increasing volumes
entering/exiting South Access and North Access by 10%. Existing traffic volumes and site
observations indicate traffic entering/exiting the Park District lot to the south is related to drop-

Middlefork Elementary School Reconstruction – Northfield, Illinois

off/pick-up activity. The 10% growth factor should be applied to traffic volumes entering/exiting both
the drop-off/pick-up lane and the Park District lot to comprehensively represent all school traffic.
The report has since been updated and now projects future conditions considering traffic entering
both lots.


Kimley-Horn concurs with the proposed reconfiguration of the drop-off/pick-up lane to provide a
single access driveway for inbound and outbound traffic.

Total Projected Conditions




A regional growth factor of 0.5% per year was applied to the background traffic through future year
2031. The growth factor is based on AADT projections provided by the Chicago Metropolitan
Agency for Planning (CMAP). The study references a CMAP letter dated March 2023, while the
Appendix includes a letter dated 2026. This background growth factor is appropriate, and the
referenced letter has since been confirmed.
Traffic projections were increased by 10% to account for potential future growth. This factor,
however, was not applied to parking demand. Kimley-Horn recommended quantifying the existing
parking demand, applying the 10% growth factor, and confirming parking capacity is sufficient to
accommodate potential future growth. The updated report has provided details of the existing
parking demand, which is anticipated to continue to be accommodated with the reconstruction.

Traffic Analysis and Recommendations






Kimley-Horn requested that traffic entering and exiting the Park District lot is included in projected
traffic volumes, and the study was subsequently updated. Based on this revision, Kimley-Horn
concurs with the capacity analysis for study projected traffic volumes conducted using
Synchro/SimTraffic 12 software. The analysis indicates that the LOS of study intersections would
likely remain consistent between the existing and proposed conditions. Kimley-Horn agrees with
the conclusion that the study intersections have sufficient reserve capacity to accommodate the
projected 10% increase in traffic.
Kimley-Horn requested that the study quantifies the existing parking demand throughout the
available areas. This study has since been updated to include the existing number of occupied
spaces in each area during peak drop-off/pick-up activity. Through evaluation of these numbers
and site observations, Kimley-Horn concurs with the conclusion that the existing parking spaces
will be adequate to accommodate peak demand.
Kimley-Horn requested that the study quantified vehicles stacking under existing conditions. The
study was subsequently updated to include aerial imagery showing a maximum total queue of 32
vehicles, which was also confirmed through site observations of the school’s pick-up activity. Thus,
Kimley-Horn concurs with the conclusion that the reconfigured drop-off/pick-up lane (proposed to
provide stacking for 36 vehicles) would provide sufficient stacking capacity.

Conclusion
Based on Kimley-Horn’s review of the proposed reconstruction plan, the traffic impact study, and site
observations at Middlefork Elementary School, the study methodology and approach are appropriate and
consistent with commonly accepted industry practice. The study area includes intersections reasonably
expected to experience the greatest effect from school traffic. Traffic characteristics associated with the
school’s morning drop-off and afternoon pick-up activity are appropriately outlined and traffic projections
informing the analysis of study intersections are reasonably estimated based on existing traffic patterns.
The capacity analysis uses the appropriate software, and the results are generally consistent with site
observations. Kimley-Horn concurs with the study’s conclusion that the proposed plan is expected to handle
future traffic queuing demands on-site, limit the potential for impacting traffic flows along Wagner Road,
and that the surrounding transportation system can accommodate the proposed reconstruction.

Agenda Item No: 10

Discussion Only: ☐
Consider for Approval: ☒

Meeting Date: October 27, 2026
Staff Contact: Steve Gutierrez, Community Development

Subject: Adoption of an Ordinance Amending Appendix A of the Village Code Concerning Office
Uses in the Village Center Zoning District
Summary: The Village Board had previously enacted a moratorium on new office uses in the
Village Center while the Plan & Zoning Commission was conducting a review of office uses in the
district. The Commission recently completed their work and recommended the Village Board adopt
certain text amendments to the Zoning Code concerning how office uses are regulated in the Village
Center zoning district.
Background Information: In March, the Village Board enacted a temporary moratorium on office
uses in the VC–Village Center District (Village Center). At its September and October meetings, the
P&Z reviewed whether medical/dental offices and general office uses should be permitted, allowed
by special use, or prohibited within the Village Center. Their consensus was to prevent offices from
displacing retail uses on the first floors of buildings in the Village Center and to generally increase
their limitations in the Village Center to the extent practicable. To accomplish this, they recommend
prohibiting any new first-floor office uses within the Village Center and classifying additional office
uses as either special uses or prohibited uses. The table below summarizes the proposed changes
the P&Z is recommending.
USES
Medical/dental office
• Less than 5,000 sq.ft.
• Above 1st floor

TO:

CHAIRMAN BILL VASELOPULOS AND MEMBERS
OF THE PLAN & ZONING COMMISSION

FROM:

STEVE GUTIERREZ
DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT

MEETING DATE:

OCTOBER 5, 2026

SUBJECT:

AMENDMENTS TO OFFICE USE REGULATIONS IN THE VILLAGE
CENTER ZONING DISTRICT
___________________________________________________________________________
At its September 8 meeting the Plan & Zoning Commission discussed how the Village should
regulate medical and general office uses within the Village Center zoning district with the goal of
preserving store fronts for retail uses to the extent practicable. The discussion focused on several
questions raised by staff. The questions and the Commission’s consensus are outlined below.
Should we treat store fronts differently than other parts of a building
There was initial discussion about prohibiting medical offices in the front 50’ of a building
but allowing them as special uses in the rear of the building. There was also discussion
regarding which sides of a building would be subject to the 50’ no-office zone. The final
consensus, however, landed on prohibiting both medical and general office uses entirely
on the first level. There would be no distinction between the store front portion of the first
floor and the back of a building in the Village Center and the issue of what side of a building
would have a 50’ no-office zone becomes moot.
Do we need to make a distinction in the size of a medical office use?
The consensus was that we should use a 5,000 square foot threshold to distinguish
smaller and larger medical and general office uses. Both medical and general offices with
less than 5,000 square feet of floor area located above the first floor would be a permitted
use. Medical and general offices with 5,000 square feet or more of floor area located above
the first floor would be a special use.
Is a medical office use more desirable than a general office use?
The consensus was to treat medical and general office uses the same.
Do we grandfather existing office spaces?
The consensus was to exempt existing office spaces in the Village Center from the new
restrictions regardless of whether those spaces are currently occupied.
After all that discussion, the actual text amendments are simple. Section 13-2 entitled "Use
Regulations" of the Zoning Code lists what land uses are permitted uses and what are special
uses. The way our Zoning Code is set-up, prohibited uses are not listed – if a use is not in the
list of permitted or special uses it is a prohibited use by default. We just add and subtract from

that list. Attached is a redline version of Section 13-2. If approved, these amendments will be
integrated into the Permitted and Special Use Table in Section 4-5 of Zoning Code.
Staff is consulting with the Village Attorney regarding how best to establish the exemption of
existing office spaces in the Village Center from the proposed amendments. It is unlikely it will be
in the form of a Zoning Code text amendment and more likely would be written into the provisions
of an ordinance approving the text amendments. That ordinance will be crafted based on the
Commission’s vote. The Commission’s intention is reflected in the draft motion offered below
COMMISSION ACTION
If the Plan & Zoning Commission wishes to suggest these text amendments, it may consider the
following motion:
Motion to recommend to the Village Board that it adopt the proposed Zoning Code text
amendments to the permitted and special use regulations for the VC – Village Center District
relative to office uses. The commission also recommends to the Village Board that it exempt from
these amendments, existing office space within the VC District, whether said space is currently
occupied or not.

from both the list of permitted uses and the list of special uses, it is by default a
prohibited use.)

Section 1: Executive Summary
The attached preliminary financial statements for the Village of Northfield pertain
to the period ending September 30, 2026, encompassing five months or 42% of the
fiscal year. We are currently in the process of audit fieldwork for the fiscal year
ended April 30, 2026, which may have an impact on current fiscal year unadjusted
transactions. Consequently, these figures should be regarded as preliminary. The
final audited financial results will be presented for the Board’s review during the
December Committee of the Whole meeting.
The attached financial report compares the current fiscal year (FY26-27) against
the same period in the prior fiscal year (FY25-26).
The financial report format is organized as follows:






The report is organized by Fund, followed by department within the Fund (when
applicable).

Each individual account is clearly listed.
The first three columns from the left provide data for the prior fiscal year
for comparative analysis.
The fourth through the sixth columns from the left display information for
the current fiscal period.
The last column compares the current fiscal year to date balance against the
current budget.

General Fund Revenues
Total fiscal year-to-date revenues are $7,444,263, representing 48% of the
year-to-date budget. Revenues exceed the same period prior fiscal year by $2.8
million or 61%. Just over $240 thousand of this year-over-year increase is because
property tax is received timely in the current year, after last fiscal year’s issues
with Cook County delay in property tax remittances to all local governments. In
addition, Sales and Home Rule Sales Tax are trending higher than the prior year,
up a combined $302 thousand compared to last September. Finally, gain / loss on
investment is $2.5 million higher in the current versus last fiscal year to date; this
change is attributed to market valuation adjustments to the Village’s fixed income
holdings as well as allocations between funds for cash balances. While there is a
significant variance at this point; it is anticipated that this will level out as the fiscal
year progresses.
General Fund Expenditures:
Total year-to-date General Fund expenditures for FY26-27 are $6,173,140, or 40%
of budget. This reflects a decrease in spending ($29) thousand, or 0% compared to
the same period in the prior fiscal year. The General Fund fiscal year-to-date
surplus is $1,271,123; however, much of this is driven by the significant gain in

3

investment adjustment and is not necessarily an indication of fiscal year
performance overall.
Following is a review of expenditure changes by Department:
Administration & Finance
Administration & Finance expenditures total $595,000, or 32% of budget for the
fiscal year. Fiscal year-to-date expenditures are down -16%, or ($110) thousand.
All spending is within budget expectation, and timing – such as the auditor
payments processed in the first quarter last year; and not yet processed this fiscal
year – contributing to the variance.
Community Development
Community Development expenditures total $477,088, or 44% of budget for the
fiscal year. Compared to September 2025, expenditures increased by $56 thousand,
or 13%. The majority of the year-over-year increase is in the salary and wage
accounts, as the department is now fully staffed; and economic development
expenses related to TIF planning costs.
Police Department
Police expenditures total $2,981,648, or 40% of budget for the fiscal year. The
change over prior year’s spending is up only 4% which is consistent with expected
increases in wages, benefits and budgeted plans.
Fire Department
Fire Department expenditures are $1,547,797 or 43% of budget for the fiscal year.
Compared to the prior year, expenditures are down -1%, or ($15) thousand. Slight
reductions in wages, benefit and membership costs are offset by upticks in
overtime and vehicle maintenance costs.
Public Works Department
Public Works Department expenditures are $571,607or 37% of budget for the fiscal
year. Compared to the prior year, year-to-date expenditures have decreased by
($62) thousand, or -10% most notably in Maintenance and Mechanic wages.
Water & Sewer Fund
Water & Sewer Fund revenues are $1,944,568 as of September, 42% of budget.
Utility sales are consistent with the prior year, for a total of $2.3 million. A recorded
loss of ($466) thousand in investments is impacting the overall revenues recorded
to this fund, reflecting a mark-to-market entry allocated to the fund, in other words

4

a “paper” loss. As the fiscal year progresses, this should be mitigated. Water &
Sewer Fund expenditures total $947,966 or 17% of budget. This comparatively low
expenditure is due to the timing of water main replacements and sanitary sewer
improvements, with most project-related expenditures expected later in the fiscal
year.
Police Pension Fund
Revenue to the Police Pension Fund consists of the Village’s property tax
contribution, employee contributions, and investment gains. The Village’s
property tax contribution is currently based on an estimate; the actuarially
determined contribution. Revenues total $2,641,316 and expenses $741,623 as
reported by the third-party accounting firm, Lauterbach & Amen.
Investments
Attached is the monthly investment report for the Village. As of September 30th,
the cash and investment portfolio for the Village’s non-pension funds totaled
$21,461,671. All funds are held in cash or cash equivalents across local banking
institutions and the State investment pool (Illinois Funds). Total Interest revenue
fiscal year to date in all funds (excluding Police pension fund) is $2.5 million fiscal
year to date.
Also attached is the detailed investment report required under the Village’s
Investment Policy, which outlines individual holdings, maturities, and
collateralization. All Village funds are maintained in interest-bearing accounts,
and all deposits exceeding FDIC insurance limits are fully collateralized in
accordance with policy requirements.

Realized and Unrealized Gain/Loss Correction
The Realized and Unrealized Gain/Loss for July 2026 was misstated due to an error related to changes
instituted to improve valuation accuracy on a single investment account. This had no impact on the
ending balance or performance. This error was reversed in the August 2026 reporting, again with no
impact on the ending balance or performance.

Items / Events of Note:
A new police recruit applicant test was started in September. The test will close on October 23rd, and initial
interviews with applicants who have completed the testing will be starting shortly. Board of Police
Commissioner interviews will begin as soon as the initial interviews are completed, and we hope to have a
candidate selected and hired in time for the January Police Academy. The pre-employment screening process
for the previously selected candidate is progressing well, and we hope to have that process completed in
November.
Police Staff met with Community Development to discuss updated maps of the Village boundaries. Over the
years, annexation agreements have resulted in some minor changes to boundary lines, and some of the older
maps being used by the department need updating to ensure officers have the most accurate information
possible. As part of these discussions, police personnel were given access to the Village GIS mapping system,
which will allow officers to easily access the most accurate and current maps available.

Lani Leong

I am making this FOIA request to elaborate on my previous FOIA request concerning what happened on September 12, 2026.
Please do not construe my earlier reference to “police reports” as limiting my request to formal incident reports.
I am urgently requesting all records relating to any call for service, police contact, welfare check, incident, or report involving or
initiated by Corby Hagan on September 12, 2026, that involved Lani Leong and/or her parents who live at 139 Happ Road,
Northfield, IL 60093. I believe Northfield Police officers arrived to our home sometime between 4:30-5:00 AM.
My records request includes, but is not limited to:
• Any incident reports, case reports, supplemental reports, officer narratives, field notes, or other written documentation;
• CAD (computer-aided dispatch) records, dispatch logs, event/incident histories, call notes, disposition codes, timestamps, and any
other records documenting the reason or purpose for the call or dispatch;
• Records documenting what Corby Hagan reported or communicated to the Northfield Police Department, including the nature of
his request and any statements or allegations attributed to him;
• Records identifying the person or persons whom officers were asked to check on, contact, locate, or otherwise assist;
• Records documenting what officers observed upon arrival and any actions taken or conclusions/dispositions recorded by
responding officers;
• Records documenting statements or information provided to officers by Lani Leong, her mother, her father, or any other person
contacted in connection with the incident;
• Any 911, emergency/non-emergency telephone, dispatch, or other audio recordings associated with the incident, including
recordings of communications from Corby Hagan to the Northfield Police Department;
• Any body-worn camera, squad-car/dash-camera, or other audio/video recordings made by responding officers in connection with
the incident.
The date of the incident/contact was September 12, 2026. I am requesting records regardless of whether the matter resulted in a
formal police report or was classified only as a call for service, welfare check, assist, information report, or other disposition.

Thank you in advance for your prompt attention regarding this matter,
Please send copies of the Annual Water Use Audit Form (LMO-2) for Water Years 2019 through 2025. These documents are usually
handled by Public Works or Water departments.
I would like the red-light time delay records related to Crash Report 26-15519 between 9-10am. There is video from the gas station
that should have the exact time needed. That video shows the lights turning north/south and when vehicles entered the
intersection. What I am looking for is the time delay on the red light to understand if opposing vehicle entered on a red, yellow, or
green light and the time delay should provide more data/information

Under the Illinois Freedom of Information Act, I request electronic copies of both of the following recordings identified in Northfield
Police records:
1. Mariano's exterior surveillance reviewed in robbery investigation 14-4507: footage from Mariano's, 1822 Willow Road,
Northfield, on March 25, 2014, showing the store exit and northern parking lot, from the camera facing north. The report describes
Detective Hanus #468 and Detective Sarabia of Winnetka Police reviewing this recording concerning a claimed pickup after the
robbery at approximately 8:35 p.m. Please provide the exact footage reviewed, including any retained original, export, investigative
copy, or evidence copy. If a time range is needed, please search approximately 8:30–9:15 p.m. local time.

2. Northfield Squad 1 DVR/dashcam recording of traffic stop 14-4512 on March 26, 2014, at approximately 12:19 a.m., eastbound
Willow Road at Walnut. The continuation report for shooting investigation 14-4514 states that an officer reviewed the DVR footage,
observed two passing vehicles, made a DVD placed into evidence, and provided another copy to Detective Hanus #468. Please
provide the full retained stop recording with audio, including the footage showing the passing vehicles, and any preserved DVD or
investigative copy.

In Progress

Please search evidence holdings, investigative files, retained DVD copies, and archives, including copies held under 14-4507, 144512, or 14-4514. This request concerns existing retained recordings and does not presume that either recording depicts the
shooting itself.
I am requesting these records for journalistic reporting, not a commercial purpose. Please provide downloadable electronic files. If
any portion is exempt, please release the reasonably segregable remainder and identify the specific basis for withholding. If a
recording is no longer retained, please provide existing records documenting its disposition, destruction, or transfer. Please advise
before incurring any fees; I do not authorize paid work without prior approval.

Thank you very much for helping me.
Pursuant to the applicable public records law, we respectfully request all your records of uncashed/unclaimed checks that were
issued by your organization. If some of this request is exempt from release, please release the remainder of the record which is
admissible. Please provide all outstanding/uncashed/stale dated checks/properties that are greater than $1000. For each item,
please provide issue dates, payee names, addresses, and dollar amounts due. If possible, an excel document would be the desired
format. Please note that I am not requesting a listing of records which have already been escheated. Please indicate the process
needed to have these checks reissued. If some of this request is exempt, please release the admissible material. The date range is
1/1/2021-4/1/2026.
Any records regarding a permit for a garage/addition at 535 Edens Lane
Please provide existing records sufficient to show the actual amount paid by the fire department for firefighter turnout gear from

This request is limited to structural firefighting turnout coats, pants, hoods, gloves, boots, and helmets. Please provide an existing
expenditure report or accounts-payable ledger showing these purchases, with the payment date, item description, and amount
paid. If spending is already summarized by fiscal year, please include that summary.

I am requesting actual spending records, not budgets, estimates, or records about other fire department expenses. I am not asking
you to create a new total if one is not already maintained.
