VILLAGE OF ANTIOCH

BOARD OF TRUSTEES, REGULAR MEETING
Municipal Building: 874 Main Street, Antioch, Illinois

May 5, 2003
7:30 p.m.

 

CALL TO ORDER The public hearing regarding the annexation of the Peavey-Hermann property; Kennedy Homes Limited Partnership; PZB03-04 before the Board of Trustees was called to order by Mayor Maravelas at 7:00 p.m. in the Municipal Building: 874 Main Street, Antioch, IL.
ROLL CALL Roll call indicated the following Trustees were present: Pierce, Larson, Caulfield, Foresta, Porch and Hanson. Also present were Mayor Maravelas, Attorney Long and Clerk Rowe.
PUBLIC NOTICE After Clerk Rowe read aloud the published public notice regarding the annexation of an approximately 60-foot wide strip along the length of the southern boundary of subject property, she administered the oath to those wishing to testify.
GEORGE SAKAS George Sakas, village senior planner reviewed his memo dated May 1, 2003 and offered clarification on the process. Mr. Sakas said the total property was annexed in 1979 and was zoned R2 single family and R5 multi-family. There was a surveyors error that caused a property dispute that was settled. It was determined there was an approximate 60-foot strip along the southern boundary of the property that was never annexed or zoned. Kennedy Homes proposed a plan that included the 60-foot strip. The Village required Kennedy Homes to petition annexation and zoning of the strip in order to complete the entire subdivision. Mr. Sakas said the Planning and Zoning Board continued their April zoning hearing in order to get an indication from the Village Board that there are no objections to annexing the strip given an acceptable annexation agreement and favorable action on their part concerning zoning and subdivision. The draft annexation agreement distributed to the Village Board is for information purposes only, there will be no requested action tonight.
RANDY CARLS Mr. Randy Carls of Kennedy Homes, submitted the affidavit of notice to the Village Clerk and discussed the history of Kennedy Homes Limited Partnership and introduced various representatives from Kennedy Homes. Mr. David Waiden of Land Vision gave a brief overview of the preliminary plat. Mr. Carls indicated that he was looking for general feedback from the Village Board regarding the annexation of the strip and is not looking for approval of the proposal.
DISCUSSION Following a brief discussion, Trustee Scott Pierce indicated that he doesn’t agree with some of the items in the annexation agreement. Trustee Pierce also wondered if this item should be placed in committee. Trustee Larson indicated that she doesn’t have a problem annexing the 60-foot strip, but she didn’t want this approval to be considered approval of the proposal or the annexation agreement. Senior Planner said barring the Board’s objections he will report to the Planning and Zoning Board that they can continue with their deliberations.
PUBLIC COMMENT Mr. Paul Green, Trevor Road resident, wanted to clarify with the Village Attorney that at the last Planning and Zoning Board hearing it was indicated that they had to have the annexation taken care of. Attorney Long said that wasn’t the conclusion that was reached. What was necessary was that there be a public hearing on the annexation and that is what is taking place tonight.
ATTORNEY LONG Attorney Bob Long explained that the Planning and Zoning Board wanted to know if the Village Board would be in favor of annexing the 60-foot strip before they continue with their review of the proposal. He went on to say not necessarily what the terms of the annexation agreement are, that’s between the developer and the Village Board.

Although that will become important later on, but before they try to plan an area of land, they would like to have reasonable assurance that piece of land is going to actually be within the village. Mr. Green asked if the Planning and Zoning Board is looking for the Village Board to move forward. Attorney Long said essentially yes, but we’re not going ahead finally until we have a completed pre-annexation agreement.

ROUTE 173 Bob Silhan, Director of Planning, Zoning and Building updated the Board regarding the Route 173 moratorium. The GIS system is up and running and has assisted them greatly as they go along the Route 173 corridor study. An Open House has been scheduled on May 29, 2003 in order to solicit from the general public regarding the East Route 173 Corridor. Notices will be sent out this week to property owners in that corridor making them aware of the Open House. Bob Silhan reviewed target dates for the study. He said the first target date is about mid-July for a presentation before the Planning and Zoning Board when the study will be about 50% completed. Mid-September is the target date for a final report to the Planning and Zoning Board and late September is targeted for a report before the Village Board.
REDEVELOPMENT Trustee Porch said that she and Trustee Hanson have discussed over the past few weeks Trustees being appointed to the Redevelopment Commission. They have decided that both of them should step down from Redevelopment and the Mayor, in due process, will appoint new commissioners to Redevelopment. Redevelopment will be added as a committee that reports to the Village Board.

Trustee Porch reviewed three letters dated May 2, 2003 from Don Skidmore, Redevelopment Commission Chairman, the first asks for more communication between the Village Board and the Redevelopment commission. Trustee Porch said that will be done. The second letter asks that the Pittman property take priority within the village. Trustee Porch said that to her knowledge they have been working on that property for almost two years.

Glenda Sorensen, Director of Community Development, said they have been researching whether or not they can use TIF funds in some way on that property. There has been a number of those showing interest in the property, but nothing has been finalized. Trustee Porch indicated this request will be placed in committee. Trustee Porch reviewed the third letter from the Redevelopment Commission recommends the Village of Antioch purchase a power washer to clean the streets and sidewalks in the village. Funds for the power washer will come from TIF funds. Trustee Porch said the public works department will research this request.

COMMUNICATIONS Trustee Porch said the Mayor is asking Antioch residents that are interested in serving on any of our committees should express their interest to the Mayor.
AUDIT A motion was made by Trustee Caulfield, seconded by Trustee Pierce to hire an additional auditor for the village.
DISCUSSION Trustee Larson asked why do we need an additional auditor. Trustee Caulfield said at the last Finance Committee meeting they discussed many items concerning the budget, he said he felt it would be important in the interest of continuing fiscal responsibility that we have an outside person, another auditor, take a look at our prepared financial statements and also to do a review of our policies and procedures related to finances. He said that we’ve done a wonderful job up to this point during this administration last two years, and the village administrator has done an excellent job in getting our finances back in order. He believes this step will help us assure that we stay on track. Trustee Larson said so that we are having an auditor to audit the auditor. Trustee Caulfield said that was correct. Mayor Maravelas said this is like an insurance policy, when you’re a 13-14 million dollar company and you have to have some assurance of expertise. Trustee Larson said she could see hiring someone to look over our standards and she asked if this new auditor will do an additional full audit? Mayor Maravelas said no. This is to check the auditor and the finances of the village. Trustee Caulfield said basically this auditor will help the Board review the audit that our auditor does. Trustee Caulfield said that under the past administration there was an auditor and a village administrator and we all know what we inherited two years ago. What he would like to do is to make sure that we are doing everything possible to make sure that we’re having someone keep an eye. He said, basically the way it’s set up now, we have a village administrator working with the village treasurer and they both work with the auditor. Trustee Caulfield said that he as Finance Chair and his role on the Board, he is asking for additional help to interpret and make sure that what we’re seeing and to help point out, he said that he is not an auditor, and he’s not an accountant, he is looking for help reviewing the audit that we get presented. Trustee Caulfield said he believes this audit would not cost that much, he’s asking for $15,000 in the budget for the year, and it seems like it’s a needed second opinion. Trustee Porch asked if one of the roles would be to check on procedure. Both Trustee Caulfield and Mayor Maravelas indicated that was correct and the role would also include recommendations. Trustee Pierce said he understands the main purpose is protect the village. Trustee Caulfield said the village administrator and village treasurer has been doing a great job during the last two years.

Trustee Larson asked if the Board will get a list of possible candidates to review. Trustee Caulfield said the Mayor is going to review candidates and will give it to the Finance Chair to make a recommendation to the Board. Trustee Hanson said that he agrees with Trustee Caulfield. Mayor Maravelas said that we are a growing company and he feels we need someone with a lot of knowledge to guide the Board.

SENIOR CENTER Trustee Pierce said that he attended the senior center board meeting this morning and one of the issues that came up is they are requesting the Village Board resolution and the current administration stating that while this current administration is in office, they will not ask the seniors to move from the center. Trustee Pierce asked Attorney Bob Long to look into this request. Trustee Larson said they made the seniors aware that the village board couldn’t vote on this tonight because it wasn’t on the agenda. Mayor Maravelas said that he can’t make that guarantee. Trustee Larson said she has no problem guaranteeing them for the next two years that we won’t ask them to move. Trustee Porch said they explained to the seniors that this resolution could only be binding to 2005. Trustee Hanson said we are committing to spending $500,000 now for a two year investment. He said we should really look at this. He doesn’t believe this is a good investment. Trustee Pierce said this is why he is asking the village attorney to look into their request. Trustee Turner said that she talked with several seniors and they would like assurance that they can stay there for next two years. Mayor Maravelas said their money is the village’s money. Trustee Larson said the money was given to the Antioch seniors. Trustee Caulfield asked when the next senior committee meeting is scheduled. The next senior committee meeting is on June 2 at 10:00 a.m. Trustee Pierce will also schedule a senior committee meeting. Mayor Maravelas said two years ago that fund was busted, and because the funds are there today, all of sudden they want it. Trustee Pierce said he explained that to the seniors today, and it’s his belief that they should have some faith in this administration because we have for the most part, despite some disagreement, stood by the seniors of this community. He said as Chair of this committee he feels it’s his responsibility to bring their request to the village board. Mayor Maravelas said that he is a conservative guy and he doesn’t spend money that easy. Trustee Caulfield asked for an update on the Lake Street sidewalk project. Administrator Haley said we have engaged a surveyor to survey the street to see where our right of ways are, there is money in the budget, and there will be a sidewalk fo some sort this year. Mr. Haley said that he couldn’t give the board a more definite time frame because we have to wait until the survey is completed. Trustee Caulfield asked if there is any village time being spent on the senior expansion plan right now. Administrator Haley said yes there is and referred to senior planner George Sakas. Mr. Sakas said that as the architect gets estimates from the contractors and we look into the mechanicals of the building, there will be time spent staff wise. Trustee Caulfield said he doesn’t recall the board action at the board level that authorized expenses on that project which may not be approved yet. Trustee Pierce said that he doesn’t remember it being approved, but he doesn’t remember it being approved at the board level to put in a fence at Osmond Park. He said there is a lot activities that don’t get approved at the village board level and for some reason they don’t need to be approved here. Trustee Caulfield said that he understands the fence, but he doesn’t understand this issue and how it relates to the $500,000 project. Senior Planner George Sakas there hasn’t been a lot of time spent by staff yet, but a good portion of the time spent has been about the condition of the roof, which we would have to do anyway. Trustee Caulfield asked that we do not spend any more village time and money on this project until we approve the project.
VB MOTION A motion was made by Trustee Pierce, seconded by Trustee Porch to authorize village staff to work with senior center and to allot the appropriate time to develop a plan to bring before the village board.
DISCUSSION Trustee Caulfield said this motion and second authorizes approximately $500,000 project that this board has seen no plan. Trustee Pierce said that his motion was to authorize village staff to allot the appropriate time to allow the senior center to develop the proper plan to bring to the village board. Trustee Caulfield asked for a dollar amount. Trustee Porch said that at this mornings meeting, the seniors were advised to put together a proper plan to come before the Planning and Zoning Board and the Village Board to approve the expenditure. Trustee Larson said the architect has donated all of his time up to this point.

Trustee Hanson said that he remembers the seniors wanted to pay the architect, he believes the seniors should have more choices than what they currently have. Trustee Hanson said that we have to make decisions based on today’s seniors and the future seniors and he doesn’t believe this will be settled tonight. Mayor Maravelas doesn’t like the piece meal work. Mayor Maravelas also said that no one is asking the seniors to vacate the property. Trustee Larson said we asking for village staff to look over the plan so they can go forward with an intelligent decision. Trustee Pierce said we have to give them the options and we have to let village staff work with seniors, if we don’t, we’re handicapping them. Trustee Caulfield said this is a way to slip a $500,000 project into the village the wrong way. This doesn’t mean that he doesn’t appreciate the seniors of this community, it is quite the opposite. He would like the seniors to get the best bang for their buck and he would like the board to entertain various bids and plans for this project. Bob Silhan, Director of Planning, Zoning and Building briefly discussed the seniors looking to interview several architects, but this Antioch resident, who is also an architect offered to do conceptual plans at no cost. No one else came forward with that proposal. Trustee Larson asked if the seniors are locked into to accepting any of the architect’s plan if it doesn’t meet what they think their needs are. Mr. Silhan said of course not. Trustee Pierce asked for the vote on the motion.

On roll call, the vote was:

YES: 5; Pierce, Larson, Porch, Hanson and Turner.
