Discussion Only: ☐
Consider for Approval: ☒

Staff Contact: Mike Milks, Fire-Rescue Chief
Subject: Ratification of the Purchase of Fire Turnout Gear from Conway Shield in the Amount of
$26,101.04
Summary: The purchase of protective fire turnout gear was included in the FY27 budget. The gear
was ordered and was not anticipated to exceed the $25,000 purchase authority. However, upon
receiving the invoice for the purchase the total cost inclusive of freight was $26,101.04. Ratification
of the purchase is requested.
Background Information: The FY27 budget included funding to replace sets of turnout gear used
by the fire department to protect against the heat, flames, and chemicals during a fire response.
Pricing for the equipment was sought from three vendors and Conway Shield offered the lowest
purchase price.
Prior to placing the order, it was determined that $40,000 had been budgeted for safety equipment
and that adequate funding was available for the purchase. Seven sets of turnout gear were ordered.
An error was made in not recognizing that the total purchase price inclusive of shipping charges
exceeded the $25,000 expenditure authorization. Village Board approval is required to purchase
items in excess of $25,000 and the total cost exceeded the limit by $1,101.04.
The equipment order had been placed prior to administrative staff recognizing that the purchasing
authority had been exceeded. It is requested that the Village Board ratify the decision made to
purchase the turnout gear for a total amount of $26,101.04. Staff has been reminded to follow the
purchasing policy which required an approved purchase order prior to placing the equipment order.
Budgeted: Yes. The FY26 (12-000-5785) budget provides $40,000 for the replacement of turnout
gear as required. The final seven gear sets were ordered through our supplier to complete this year’s
purchase as per the Capital Replacement Fund. The purchase total was initially within the $25,000
authority. Upon receiving the invoice, the total inclusive of shipping charges exceeded the
purchasing authority by $1,101.04. The total invoice price was $26,101.04.
Recommendation: Staff ratification of the purchase of turnout gear from Conway Shield.
Attachment: Copy of Invoice from Conway Shield

Staff Contact: Matt Huebner, Public Works
Subject: Authorization to Execute an Agreement with Gewalt Hamilton for Construction
Management Services for the 2026 Asphalt Program in the Amount of $49,400
Summary: In July, the Village Board authorized construction services for the 2026 Asphalt
Program to Schroeder Asphalt in the Amount of $486,649. The work requires construction
management services to oversee compliance with the project specifications. Due in part to the time
of year and size of the project, staff received a single proposal from Gewalt Hamilton for the work in
the amount of $49,400.
Background Information: The 2026 Road Rehabilitation Project will consist of mill and overlay
on several Village of Northfield streets. Public Works coordinated a full inventory and inspection of
roadways within the Village of Northfield utilizing state of the art analyzation from ICC/IMS in the
fall of 2025. The data from that project was carefully analyzed to determine the best use of the
Rebuild Illinois grant that the Village of Northfield received. After a successful bid process to award
Schroeder with the mill and overlay project, Northfield staff determined the best course of action to
manage the construction phase was to contract those services with an engineering company.
Budgeted: Yes Financial Impact: The FY27 budget has adequate funds budgeted for the project in
both the Motor Fuel Tax Fund and the Capital Projects Fund.
Recommendation: The Public Works Superintendent recommends awarding the construction
management services project to Gewalt Hamilton. Gewalt Hamilton completed the design aspect of
the project and has an extensive working knowledge of the Village of Northfield, and specifically,
this project.

Re:

Construction Engineering Services Agreement
2026 RBI Paving Improvement Program
GHA Proposal No. 2026.CS0088

On behalf of Gewalt Hamilton Associates, Inc. (GHA), thank you for the opportunity to assist the Village of
Northfield with implementation of another phase of your roadway improvement program. Based on
conversations we have had regarding this project, we submit the following for your review and approval.
The Village of Northfield, (hereinafter “Village”), and Gewalt Hamilton Associates, Inc., (hereinafter “GHA”)
agree and contract as follows:
I.

PROJECT UNDERSTANDING

The Village of Northfield plans to upgrade its roadway infrastructure by improving portions of the system
located along various routes within the Village.
The current effort will focus on the milling and repaving of approximately 3,555 FT of roadway at various
locations within the Village (see attached List of Streets). Planned work generally includes pavement milling,
base course patching, paving improvements, possible striping and site restoration. The existing pavement
sections generally consist of either HMA pavements or aggregate base course with asphalt overlays of
various thicknesses throughout the project limits.
This work is being completed simultaneously along with another community which may cause gaps in the
workflow and an extended time frame for completion over what is normally observed. We have estimated
that the Village’s portion of the work will take approximately 20 working days to complete (spread out over
the entire construction schedule) and we are basing our proposal on that figure.
Our project approach is based on discussions with your office and our experience with similar projects. Our
construction staff includes experienced professionals with municipal construction experience who can help
minimize disruption to residents. Their proven expertise will result in a good working relationship not only with
the contractor, but with the local residents as well.
As such, GHA proposes to provide construction engineering services to include the following:
II.

SCOPE OF SERVICES
1.

Attendance at one (1) pre-construction meeting is included. The Village will be provided a
summary in the form of Minutes for their records.

2.

An allowance for construction layout, on a one-time basis, has been provided. Paint layout
marking will be utilized to identify removal items.

20

Village of Northfield
2026 RBI Paving Improvement Program - Construction Services

3.

Construction Engineering and Observation Services
a. Construction engineering and observation services will be full-time for an estimated 20
working days. This schedule includes GHA punch list generation and work completion by
the contractor. A single inspector-equivalent will be provided for an average 45-hour work
week, Monday through Friday, over the duration of the project. If additional time or inspectors
are necessary in order to expedite the construction schedule, or if multiple crew coverage is
desired by the Village, these services will be provided on an as-needed basis, upon approval
from the Village. This will require an adjustment to our proposed fees based on any duration
that exceeds the anticipated single equivalent amount. The proposed fee reflects all
anticipated construction observation services, plus project management time and
administrative services within the 20 expected working days.
b. GHA will prepare a project punch list at the completion of major construction activities and
will follow up with the contractor regarding its timely completion.
c. GHA will maintain the project quantity book over the duration of construction.
d. GHA will maintain the weekly summary report over the duration of the project.
e. GHA will communicate daily progress to Village staff by email, in-person or telephone.
f.

4.

GHA will assist the Village staff with resident issues/complaints, as needed.

Progress Meetings and Project Management
a. Client will be provided copies of the Inspector’s Weekly Report on a weekly basis.
b. GHA will coordinate with the contractor regarding the processing and approval of pay
requests, force accounts, and change orders.

5.

Material Testing Services - GHA has provided an allowance for Phase III material testing and
will retain a qualified firm directly to complete these services. The Village will be billed for actual
testing required and completed.

6.

Project Closeout Documentation
a. GHA will prepare project closeout documentation for the Village’s files. IDOT closeout
documentation is being completed under a separate contract proposal.
b. GHA will provide the Village a copy of the daily diary pages and quantity book at project
closeout for their files, along with collected project load tickets.

III.

Compensation

GHA proposes to provide the above services on a time-and-materials (T&M) basis for a not-to-exceed (NTE)
fee of $49,400.00. Subconsultant services are included in this fee and will be processed with a 10% invoice
markup. Reimbursable expenses, including items such as printing, messenger service, mileage, etc., are
included in this fee and will be billed to the Client without markup.
All services, including any additional services requested and authorized by the Village, will be billed in
accordance with the hourly rates currently on file with the Village.

IV.

Notes, Clarifications and Assumptions
1.

Our schedule and budget assumes that no work will be performed on Saturday, Sunday or
Federal holidays.

2.

Our schedule assumes that our field staff will be on-site an average of five (5) days/week and
will average nine (9) hour days for the estimated 20 working day project duration.

3.

No additional overtime work has been included in our scope of services.

4.

All work will be performed on a time and material basis, in accordance with the total estimated
fees as detailed above.

5.

Our estimated fees assume that all street improvements will be constructed as designed in 2026
under a single construction engineering contract. An increase to the scope of the project may
require adjustments to our fees.

6.

Our estimated fees assume that the proposed project will be completed within an estimated 20
working days. An increase to the project duration may require an adjustment to our fees.

7.

No “As-Built” surveys or record drawings will be prepared. All recorded construction information
will be obtained from onsite field journals and documented on applicable plan sheets. Any “AsBuilt” elevations of utility structures, curb lines, etc., would be performed as an additional service.

8.

Construction layout and staking will be provided by GHA. Efforts will be limited to field marking
of removals with paint.

9.

Project documentation using IDOT CMMS management system will not be provided as part of
our record keeping services. The nature of the proposed work does not require the use of this
system and utilizing it would add unnecessary costs to the project.

10.

Any construction observation services performed directly by Village staff will be documented by
said staff in a separate field book and a copy of the associated quantities provided to GHA no
later than the next working day for inclusion in the project quantity book. GHA staff will not be
responsible for measuring or otherwise documenting quantities that were not installed under
their direct supervision.

11.

Pre-construction and post-construction video documentation will not be provided.

12.

Reasonable reimbursable expenses have been included in the estimated fees, and in
accordance with the enclosed Attachment A. Other potential / supplemental tasks would be in
addition to the above amount or by separate proposal.

V. General Conditions
The delineated services provided by Gewalt Hamilton Associates, Inc. (GHA) under this Agreement will be
performed as reasonably required in accordance with the generally accepted standards for civil engineering
and surveying services as reflected in the contract for this project at the time when and the place where the
services are performed.
Nothing contained in this Agreement shall create a contractual relationship with or a cause of action in favor
of a third party against either the Client or GHA. GHA’s services under this Agreement are being performed
solely for the Client’s benefit, and no other party or entity shall have any claim against GHA because of this
Agreement or the performance or nonperformance of services hereunder. In no event shall GHA be liable for
any loss of profit or any consequential damages.

The Client and GHA agree that all disputes between them arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or the
Project shall be submitted to nonbinding mediation in Chicago, Illinois unless the parties mutually agree
otherwise.
This Agreement, including all subparts and Attachment A, which is attached hereto and incorporated herein
as the General Provisions of this Professional Services Agreement, constitute the entire integrated
agreement between the parties which may not be modified without all parties consenting thereto in writing.

end of the calendar month when the statement is rendered will bear interest at the rate of one percent (1.0%) per month until paid. The provision

sole discretion, be cause for suspension of services without breach or termination of this agreement. Upon notification by GHA of suspension
of services, Client shall pay in full all outstanding invoices within 7 calendar days. Client’s failure to make such payment to GHA shall constitute
a material breach of the Agreement and shall be cause for termination by GHA. GHA shall be entitled to reimbursement of all costs actually

5. Instruments of Service. The Client acknowledges GHA’s plans and specifications, including field data, notes, calculations, and all
documents or electronic data, are instruments of service. GHA shall retain ownership rights over all original documents and instruments of
service. All instruments of service provided by GHA shall be reviewed by Client within 10 calendar days of receipt. Any deficiencies, errors,
or omissions the Client discovers during this period will be reported to GHA and will be corrected as part of GHA’s Basic Services. Failure to
provide such notice shall constitute a waiver. The Client shall not reuse or make, or permit to be made, any modifications to the instruments of
service without the prior written authorization of GHA. The Client waives all claims against GHA arising from any reuse or modification of
the instruments of service not authorized by GHA. The Client agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to defend and indemnify and hold
GHA harmless from any liability, damage, or cost, including attorneys’ fees, arising from the unauthorized reuse or modification of the
instruments of service by any person or entity. The parties agree that if elements of the Scope of Basic Services identified in this Agreement
are reduced and/or eliminated by Client, then Client waives, releases and holds GHA harmless from all claims and damages arising from those
reduced and/or eliminated services. If GHA’s Scope of Basic Services does not include construction administration phase services, Client

act, omission or event connected thereto. Unless included in GHA’s Scope of Basic Services, GHA shall not be liable for coordination with of
the services of Client’s other design professionals.

of service. In the event of a conflict between the signed / sealed printed instruments of service prepared by GHA and the electronic files, the
signed / sealed instruments of service shall control. GHA’s electronic files shall be prepared in the current software GHA uses and will follow
GHA’s standard formatting unless the Scope of Basic Services requires otherwise. Client accepts that GHA makes no warranty that its software
will be compatible with other systems or software.

contradictory, interpretations. Client accepts that GHA does not warrant or guarantee that the Client’s project will comply with interpretations
of applicable laws, codes, and regulations as they may be interpreted to the project. Client agrees that GHA shall not be responsible for added
project costs, delay damages, or schedule changes arising from unreasonable or unexpected interpretations of the laws, codes, or regulations
applied to the project, nor for changes required by the permitting authorities due to changes in the law that became effective after completion
of GHA’s instruments of service. Client shall compensate GHA for additional fees required to revise the instruments of service to comply with
such interpretations. Client shall also compensate GHA for additional fees required to revise the instruments of service if Client changes the
project scope after GHA’s completes its instruments of service.
8. Utilities and Soils. When the instruments of service include information pertaining to the location of underground utility facilities or
soils, such information represents only the opinion of the engineer as to the possible locations. This information may be obtained from visible
surface evidence, utility company records or soil borings performed by others, and is not represented to be the exact location or nature of these
utilities or soils in the field. Client agrees that GHA may reasonably rely on the accuracy and completeness of information furnished by third
parties respecting utilities, underground conditions and soils without performing any independent verification. Contractor is solely responsible
for utility locations, their markings in the field and their placement on the plans based on information they provided. Client agrees GHA is not
liable for damages resulting from utility conflicts, mistaken utility locates, unfavorable soils, and concealed or unforeseen conditions, including
but not limited to added construction costs and/or project delays. If the Client wishes to obtain the services of a contractor to provide test holes

Attachment A, July, 2018 Page 1 of 2

9. Opinion of Probable Construction Costs. GHA’s Scope of Basic Services may include the preparation of an opinion of probable
construction costs. Client acknowledges that GHA has no control over the costs of labor, materials, or equipment, or over the contractor’s
methods of determining prices, or over competitive bidding or market conditions. Opinions of probable costs, shall be made on the basis of
experience and qualifications applied to the project scope contemplated by this Agreement as well as information provided by Client (the
accuracy and completeness of which GHA may rely upon), and represent GHA’s reasonable judgment. Client accepts that GHA does not
guarantee or warrant that proposals, bids, or the actual construction costs will not vary from opinions of probable cost prepared for the Client.
GHA shall not be liable for cost differentials between the bid and/or actual costs and GHA’s opinion of probable construction costs. Client
agrees it shall employ an independent cost estimator if, based on its sole determination, it wants more certainty respecting construction costs.
10. Contractor’s Work. Client agrees that GHA does not have control or charge of and is not responsible for construction means,
methods, techniques, sequences or procedures, or for site or worker safety measures and programs including enforcement of Federal, State and
local safety requirements, in connection with construction work performed by the Client or the Client’s construction contractors. GHA is not
responsible for the supervision and coordination of Client’s construction contractors, subcontractors, materialmen, fabricators, erectors,
operators, suppliers, or any of their employees, agents and representatives of such workers, or responsible for any machinery, construction
equipment, or tools used and employed by contractors and subcontractors. GHA has no authority or right to stop the work. GHA may not direct
or instruct the construction work in any regard. In no event shall GHA be liable for the acts or omissions of Client’s construction contractors,
subcontractors, materialmen, fabricators, erectors, operators or suppliers, or any persons or entities performing any of the work, or for failure
of any of them to carry out their work as called for by the Construction Documents. The Client agrees that the Contractor is solely responsible
for jobsite and worker safety and warrants that this intent shall be included in the Client’s agreement with all prime contractors. The Client
agrees that GHA and GHA’s personnel and consultants (if any) shall be defended/indemnified by the Contractor for all claims asserted against
GHA which arise out of the Contractor’s or its subcontractors’ negligence, errors or omissions in the performance of their work, and shall also
be named as an additional insured on the Contractor’s and subcontractors’ general liability insurance policy. Client warrants that this intent
shall be included in the Client’s agreement with all prime contractors. If the responsible prime contractor’s agreement fails to comply with the
Client’s intent, then the Client agrees to assume the duty to defend and indemnify GHA for claims arising out of the Contractor’s or
subcontractors’ negligence, errors or omissions in the performance of their work.
11. Contractor Submittals. Shop drawing and submittal reviews by GHA shall apply only to the items in the submissions that concern
GHA’s scope of Basic Services and only for the purpose of assessing if, upon successful incorporation in the project, they are generally
consistent with the GHA’s Instruments of Service. Client agrees that the Contractor is solely responsible for the submissions and for compliance
with the Instruments of Service. Owner agrees that GHA’s review and action in relation to the submissions does not constitute the provision of
means, methods, techniques, sequencing or procedures of construction or extend to jobsite or worker safety. GHA’s consideration of a
component does not constitute acceptance of an assembled item.
12. Hazardous Materials. Client agrees that GHA has no responsibility or liability for any hazardous or toxic materials, contaminants or
pollutants.
13. Record Drawings. If required by the Scope of Basic Services, record drawings will be prepared which may include unverified
information compiled and furnished by others, the accuracy and completeness of which GHA may reasonably rely upon. Client accepts that
GHA shall not verify the information provided to it and agrees GHA will not be responsible for any errors or omissions in the record drawings
due to incorrect or incomplete information furnished by others to GHA.
14. Disputes. Client agrees to limit GHA’s total aggregate liability to the Client for GHA’s alleged acts, errors or omissions to $50,000
or the amount of GHA’s paid fees for its services on the project, whichever is greater. GHA’s liability to Client shall be limited to twelve
months from the last invoice submitted to Client by GHA, regardless of payment by Client. GHA makes no guarantees or warranties, either
expressed or implied, including any warranty of habitability or fitness for a particular purpose. The parties agree to waive all claims against
the other for any and all consequential damages, including attorneys’ fees. The parties agree to waive against each other all rights and claims
otherwise covered by property insurance, by builder’s risk insurance or by all risk insurance, including but not limited to subrogation rights
regardless of whether the claims arise during or post-construction and regardless of final payment to GHA.
All disputes arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall first be negotiated between the parties. If unresolved, the dispute shall be
submitted to mediation as a condition precedent to litigation. Mediation shall take place in Chicago, Illinois unless the Client and GHA mutually
agree otherwise. The fees and costs of the mediator shall be apportioned equally between the parties. If mediation is unsuccessful, litigation
shall be the form of dispute resolution and shall be filed in the jurisdiction where the project was pending. The controlling law shall be the law
of the jurisdiction where the project was located. Client agrees that all causes of action under this Agreement shall be deemed to have accrued
and all statutory limitations periods shall commence no later than the date of GHA’s services being substantially completed. Client agrees that
any claim against GHA arising out of this Agreement shall be asserted only against the entity and not against GHA’s owners, officers, directors,
shareholders, or employees, none of whom shall bear any liability and may not be subject to any claim.
15. Miscellaneous. Either Client or GHA may terminate this Agreement without penalty at any time with or without cause by giving the
other party ten (10) calendar days prior written notice. The Client shall, within thirty (30) calendar days of termination pay GHA for all services
rendered and all costs incurred up to the date of termination in accordance with compensation provisions of this Agreement. Client shall not
assign this Agreement without GHA’s prior written consent. There are no third-party beneficiaries to this Agreement.

Board of Trustees Meeting
Agenda Item No: 04
Meeting Date: August 25, 2026

Discussion Only: ☐
Consider for Approval: ☒

Staff Contact: Mike Hutensky, Police Department
Subject: Adoption of an Ordinance Waiving the Formal Bidding Process, Authorizing Disposal, and
Authorizing Execution of a Contract with Silver Star Technology of Rolling Meadows, Illinois for a
Security Camera System in the Amount of $107,852
Summary: The contract with Silver Star Technology is for the replacement of the existing camera
system in the Police Department and Village Hall with a modernized system with better coverage of
the interior and exterior of the combined Police Department/Village Hall facility. Due to the
complexity of the required system, and the potential for security concerns related to unknown vendors
having access to sensitive parts of the facility, staff obtained quotes from three vendors specializing
in public safety camera systems. Staff is requesting approval of an ordinance waiving the formal
bidding process and authorizing disposal of the existing camera system, and approval of the contract
with Silver Star Technology.
Background Information: The existing camera system covering the Police Department and Village
Hall is over 20 years old and is well beyond its expected service life. In addition, the existing system
has limited coverage of certain areas of the building, which presents a security concern. In order to
find the most appropriate system, staff sought out quotes from vendors specializing in public safety
video monitoring systems. Staff obtained quotes from three vendors, Griffon Systems ($120,700.00),
Allied Universal ($110,755.00), and Silver Star Technology ($107,851.20). After a thorough review of
the quotes, staff is recommending approval of the quote from Silver Star Technology. Staff believes
that the system proposed by Silver Star Technology provides not just the most value, but also the best
features. Staff was also in touch with other public sector customers using each of the three vendors,
and the customers of Silver Star Technology reported that they were very pleased with the hardware
and software, as well as customer service. The proposed camera system will provide significantly
better coverage and higher resolution video of the exterior of the building as well as key areas on the
interior of both facilities.
The Village Purchasing Policy requires formal quotes for purchases expected to exceed $25,000. Due
to the complexity of the equipment and services being purchased, the Police Chief and Village
Manager elected to solicit written quotes for the proposed work. Thus, they are requesting that the
Village Board waive the formal quote requirement and award the camera purchase contract to Silver
Star Technology.
Staff is also requesting approval to have the existing camera system disposed of as part of the
replacement project. The existing system is well beyond its useful life, cannot be repurposed, and
does not have any additional value to the Village.

28

Budgeted: Yes Financial Impact: In the FY 2026-27 Capital Budget, $125,000 was budgeted for this
project. The contract from Silver Star Technology is $17,148.80 under the budgeted amount.
Recommendation: Staff is recommending the approval of an ordinance waiving the formal bidding
process, as well as authorizing execution of a contract with Silver Star Technology in the amount of
$107,851.20.

1. Applicability
These terms and conditions of sale (these “Terms”) are the only terms that govern the sale of the goods (“Goods”) and services (“Services”)
by Silver Star Technology of Illinois LLC (“SST”), an Illinois limited liability company, to the client named on the reverse side of these
Terms (“Client”).
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if a written contract signed by both parties is in existence covering the sale of the Goods
and Services covered hereby, the terms and conditions of said contract shall prevail to the extent they are inconsistent with these Terms.
The accompanying quotation (the “Sales Confirmation”) and these Terms (collectively, this “Agreement”) comprise the entire agreement
between the parties and supersede all prior or contemporaneous understandings, agreements, negotiations, representations, and
warranties, and communications, both written and oral.
These Terms prevail over any of Client's general terms and conditions of purchase regardless of whether or when Client has submitted its
purchase order or such terms. Fulfillment of Client's order does not constitute acceptance of any of Client's terms and conditions and
does not serve to modify or amend these Terms.

Page 21 of 35

2. Changes to Scope
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, SST may, from time to time, change the Services without the
consent of Client provided that such changes do not materially affect the nature or scope of the Services, or the fees or any
performance dates set forth in the Sales Confirmation.
If either party wishes to change the scope or performance of the Goods or Services, it shall submit details of the requested change
to the other party in writing.
SST shall, within a reasonable time after such request, provide a written estimate to Client of:
1. The likely time required to implement the change;
2. Any necessary variations to the fees and other charges for the Services arising from the change;
3. The likely effect of the change on the Services; and
4. Any other impact the change might have on the performance of this Agreement.
Promptly after receipt of the written estimate, the parties shall negotiate and agree in writing on the terms of such change (a
"Change Order"). Neither party shall be bound by any Change Order unless mutually agreed upon in writing.

Unless otherwise agreed in writing by the parties, SST shall deliver the Goods to the delivery address set forth on the applicable
Sales Confirmation (the “Delivery Point”) using SST's standard methods for packaging and shipping such Goods.
Client shall take delivery of the Goods within one (1) day of SST's written notice that the Goods have been delivered to the Delivery
Point.

3.2 Client Responsibilities for Delivery
Client shall be responsible for all loading costs and provide equipment and labor reasonably suited for receipt of the Goods at the
Delivery Point and will unload and release all transportation equipment promptly so SST incurs no demurrage or other expense.

3.3 Partial Shipments
SST may, in its sole discretion, without liability or penalty, make partial shipments of Goods to Client. Each shipment will constitute a
separate sale, and Client shall pay for the units shipped whether such shipment is in whole or partial fulfillment of Client's purchase
order.

3.4 Failure to Accept Delivery
If for any reason Client fails to accept delivery of any of the Goods on the date fixed pursuant to SST's notice that the Goods have
been delivered at the Delivery Point, or if SST is unable to deliver the Goods at the Delivery Point on such date because Client has
not provided appropriate instructions, documents, licenses, or authorizations:
1. Risk of loss to the Goods shall pass to Client;
2. The Goods shall be deemed to have been delivered; and
3. SST, at its option, may store the Goods until Client picks them up, whereupon Client shall be liable for all related costs and
expenses (including, without limitation, storage, and insurance).

3.5 Third-Party Software
To the extent the Sales Confirmation includes access to certain Third-Party Software, subject to and conditioned on Client’s payment
of any fees and compliance with all other terms and conditions in this Agreement, SST hereby grants Client the right to access and
use the Third-Party Software in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions set forth on Exhibit A hereto (“Third-Party
Software Terms”).

3.6 Third-Party Products
SST shall make the third-party products described on a Sales Confirmation provided with or incorporated into the Services (“ThirdParty Products”) available to Client. For purposes of this Agreement, such Third-Party Products are subject to their own terms and
conditions and the applicable flow-through provisions referred to in Exhibit A.
If Client does not agree to abide by the applicable terms for any such Third-Party Products, then Client should not install or use such
Third-Party Products.
For the avoidance of doubt, the term “Goods,” as used in this Agreement, shall not include Third-Party Software.

3.7 Performance of Services
SST shall use reasonable efforts to meet any performance dates to render the Services specified in the Sales Confirmation, and any
such dates shall be estimates only.

3.8 Client Cooperation
With respect to the Services, Client shall:
1. Cooperate with SST in all matters relating to the Services and provide such access to Client's premises, and such office
accommodation and other facilities as may reasonably be requested by SST, for the purposes of performing the Services;
2. Respond promptly to any SST request to provide direction, information, approvals, authorizations, or decisions that are
reasonably necessary for SST to perform Services in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement;
3. Provide such customer materials or information as SST may request to carry out the Services in a timely manner and ensure
that such customer materials or information are complete and accurate in all material respects; and

Section 1: Executive Summary
The attached preliminary financial statements for the Village of Northfield pertain to
the period ending July 31, 2026, encompassing three months or 25% of the fiscal year.
We are currently in the process of receiving invoices from the previous fiscal year and
recording journal entries. Consequently, these figures should be regarded as
preliminary. The final audited financial results will be presented for the Board’s
review during the September 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 $3,640,933, representing 23.27% of the
year-to-date budget. Revenues exceed the same period end in the prior fiscal year by
$908,922 or 33%. Most of the variance is accounting timing differences related to
property tax and investment income; inflationary growth in sales taxes; and large onetime building permits received early last fiscal year.
Property Tax had zero revenue recorded as of July last year but currently reflects an
amount of $59,258 as of this July. In the prior fiscal year, property tax revenues
received year-to-date were reclassified back one fiscal year due to Cook County delays
in payment remittance. This timing difference will be resolved in subsequent reports
as similar adjusting entries are made for FY25-26. Please note Cook County has
indicated that second-installment property tax bills—typically issued by July 1—will
be delayed by at least two months.
The largest variance is in Gain/Loss on Investments with $281,948 more recorded in
revenue three months into this fiscal year as compared to the prior fiscal year. In May,
the Village moved a significant balance from cash to bonds and recognized the market
value of those investments with a one-time adjusting entry. While this impacts early
fiscal-year results, it is expected to smooth out over the remainder of the fiscal year.
Sales Tax and Home Rule Sales Tax are up a combined $159,907 compared to last year.
As these taxes are based on a percentage of an items price, it is expected the revenues
will reflect inflationary increases.
71
3

Building Permits reflect a decrease of ($91,110) compared to the prior year. This
decline is caused by quantity and average value of permits issued was higher as of
July 2025 than in the current year.
General Fund Expenditures:
Total year-to-date General Fund expenditures for FY26-27 are $3,776,796, or 24.18% of
budget. This reflects a decrease in spending of ($6,574), or 0% compared to the same
period in the prior fiscal year. The General Fund fiscal year-to-date deficit is
($135,864); however, it is expected to be running a deficit at this point in the fiscal year
as the Village awaits collections from the 2025 Tax Levy to be received.
Following is a review of expenditure changes by Department:
Administration & Finance
Administration & Finance expenditures total $323,460, or 17.53% of budget for the
fiscal year. Fiscal year-to-date expenditures are down -12%, or ($45,085). All spending
is within budget, with payroll and legal spending increases offset by declines in
professional services and special projects.
Community Development
Community Development expenditures total $304,197, or 28.03% of budget for the
fiscal year. Compared to July 2025, expenditures increased by $78,283, or 35%. The
majority of the year-over-year increase is in the salary and wage accounts, as the
department is now fully staffed.
Police Department
Police expenditures total $1,833,040, or 24.54% of budget for the fiscal year. Compared
to July 2025, expenditures increased by 0%, or $4,429. This change over prior year
spending is negligible; however, payment for Consolidated Dispatch – Glenview first
and second quarter services made early in FY25-26 but only the first quarter made in
FY26-27 to date.
Note that the Police Pension contribution is currently budgeted using an estimate. The
Village will receive updated actuarial figures by the end of September and will adjust
monthly expenditures in FY26-27 to reflect the new actuarial requirement.
Fire Department
Fire Department expenditures are $981,193 or 26.90% of budget for the fiscal year.
Compared to the prior year, expenditures are up 1%, or $10,914. Slight reductions in
wages and benefit costs are offset by upticks in overtime and vehicle maintenance
costs.

72
4

Public Works Department
Public Works Department expenditures are $334,902 or 21.31% of budget for the fiscal
year. Compared to the prior year, year-to-date expenditures have decreased by
($55,113), or -14% most notably in Maintenance and Mechanic wages.
Water & Sewer Fund
Water & Sewer Fund revenues are $911,376 as of July, 19.85% of budget. Utility sales
are 3% over the prior year, for a total of $1,295,277; however, a loss in investment
income recorded in May which impacts overall revenue performance year-to-date.
The variance is tied to the timing of investment maturities, and the Village has not
actually realized a loss. Excluding this account, Water & Sewer revenues total
$1,359,646 representing an expected increase compared to last year.
Water & Sewer Fund expenditures total $496,139 or 8.70% 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 will be available in September, at which point monthly allocations for
FY26-27 will be adjusted accordingly.
Revenues total $1,937,526, and expenses $374,578 as reported as of June 30, 2026 by
the third-party accounting firm, Lauterbach & Amen. The IPOPIF July investment
report is attached.
Investments
Attached is the monthly investment report for the Village. As of July 31st, the cash
and investment portfolio for the Village’s non-pension funds totaled $21,848,701. All
funds are held in cash or cash equivalents across local banking institutions and the
State investment pool (Illinois Funds).
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.
Total Interest revenue fiscal year to date in all funds (excluding Police pension fund)
is $104.906.82, 15.56% of budget and is ($56,671) lower than interest income earned
during the same period in the previous fiscal year.

Section 2: Revenue and Expense
Summary by Fund
Report Structure
The report maintains a familiar structure by comparing the current reporting period
to the same timeframe from one year ago.
 The first three columns focus on the previous fiscal year.
 The next three columns display activities for the current fiscal year.
 Both fiscal years include all account numbers for each fund.
In particular, the first fund, the General Fund, breaks down expenditures by various
departments. The final column on the right indicates how closely the year-to-date
balances align with the amended budget.
Reporting Methodology
Revenues and expenditures are presented on a cash basis, and expenditures do not
account for any outstanding encumbrances.

Items / Events of Note:
We had several staffing changes at the Police Department recently. Officer Brian Brown retired from the
Department after 20 years of service. Brian joined the Department in April 2006, and over more than 20
years of dedicated service, he has served in a variety of important roles, including Patrol Officer, Evidence
Technician, Field Training Officer, and School Resource Officer. Throughout his career, Brian has made a
lasting impact on our Department and the community through his professionalism, commitment, and service.
We are grateful for his many contributions and wish him nothing but the best in retirement. In addition to
Brian’s retirement, Officer James Mackin resigned to pursue other career opportunities.
The retirement and resignation mean that there are now two open positions at the Department. A conditional
employment offer was extended to a candidate from our recruit eligibility list, and the Board of Police
Commissioners will be interviewing the next group of applicants in the coming weeks. We plan to have two
candidates hired and through the pre-employment screening process this fall and in a police academy class
this January.
Our final Community Roll Call took place on August 9th. We’re grateful to all the community members who
attended the Roll Call events over the summer. The members of the Department really enjoyed engaging
with residents and we’re looking forward to continuing the program in the future.

Hello Officer,
I hope you are having a good day. This is a media request.
Please answer the following questions:
1. Are your police officers/ sheriff’s deputies equipped with body-worn cameras?
2. On which date did they first start using bodycams?
3. Does your department release bodycam footage (for the sake of an example, let’s say

for a shoplifting case with a resisting charge) to state citizens or the media in response
to a FOIA records request? If no, under which statute?
I want to receive all records electronically.
Thank you very much for your help.
Regards,
Deep

I. CONFERRAL — ITEMS 1 AND 5, AS NARROWED
Item 1, as narrowed:
- Custodians: Village President Tracey Mendrek, Village Manager Patrick Brennan, and the members of the Board of Trustees only.
Department staff are removed.
- Date range: January 1, 2026 to the present.
- Search terms: "unlocknorthfield"; "Unlock Northfield"; "Flach"; "JConnelly"; "jobscoalition.org"; "Jobs Coalition"; "Coalition for
Jobs"; "Culloton"; "Bauer Luce". The standalone terms "Connelly" and "CBL" are withdrawn as likely false-positive generators.

Item 5, as narrowed:
- Limited to letters of intent, development proposals, term sheets, and incentive requests — together with their cover
communications — sent to or received by President Mendrek, Manager Brennan, or the Community Development Department,
concerning property within the proposed Village Center Redevelopment Project Area, from January 1, 2025 to the present.
Regarding the Section 3(g) classification: the 14,800-email figure and 248-hour estimate are presented in the aggregate, without
differentiation between Items 1 and 5 or among search terms and custodians. So that any remaining burden can be assessed and
addressed in good faith, please provide the preliminary search hit counts broken out by item, by search term, and by custodian. I
note that Section 3(g) permits treating a request as unduly burdensome only where there is no way to narrow it and the burden
outweighs the public interest in the information; the narrowing above, and the public hearing on the proposed district scheduled
for August 25, 2026, bear directly on both prongs.
