Project Summary
Key Project Details: The project includes new storm sewer and the creation of stormwater storage in a pond and underground storage chambers. The project was initially identified only as a flood mitigation project. However, during early planning stages, the additional opportunities at the storage site and for the project were recognized. A public gathering space integrated into the stormwater storage site. The multi-purpose event lawn (that will be over the underground storage chambers) and the aesthetically pleasing park area around the pond will be a complement to the redevelopment of Golf Mill Mall, revitalizing the Milwaukee Ave and Golf Road commercial corridors and leading to significant and wide-spread economic benefits for the entire Village of Niles.
The Greenwood Stormwater Basin includes constructing approximately 14 acre-feet of storage and approximately 4,000 linear feet of relief storm sewers in the Village of Niles, south and east of Golf Mill Shopping Center. This project includes above ground and underground storage basins. In order to relieve flooding in neighborhoods east and upstream of the park, a system of relief storm sewers and drainage structures will be built to convey water to the storage basins in the park. The project also includes a planned streetscape revitalization of Church Street. This streetscape will incorporate permeable pavers and will also add parking.
Niles completed a Stormwater Master Plan that prioritized projects to provide the most benefits compared to cost and to serve areas of greatest need. The Plan, adopted by the Village Board in 2018, identified this project area as part of the highest tier of recommended projects. The project area experiences flooding due to undersized storm sewer systems and inadequate overland drainage routes. Depressions in these areas are particularly prone to flooding. Over 87 residential and commercial properties are impacted by the 100-year 2- hour storm event within the project area. During longer duration events, such 24-hour storms, some areas in the service area flood for extended duration, which restricts traffic and movement, including impacts to Milwaukee Avenue (Illinois Route 21). Flooding is a threat to health and safety for many reasons such as the potential for disease from standing water that can be a breeding ground for bacteria, mold and mildew, and electrical dangers. Please see additional current infrastructure documentation in the Attachments.
The project is not necessary to comply with state or federal regulations. It was designed with the intent to provide flood reduction benefits and to revitalize an area of the town adjacent to a major commercial resource in the Golf Mill Mall. The festival lawn and new pond also extends and leverages the community assets already present at Golf Mill Park. The Niles Park District participated in the master planning efforts, leading to the development of a coordinated vision and plan for the overall complex. The pond will become the Village of Niles’ first open body of water and is also expected to attract visitors to the pond overlooks and naturalized landscaping.
Relationship to Governor’s Five-Year Economic Plan The Golf Mill Streetscape, Festival Park and Flood Relief Project and the Golf Mill Mall redevelopment clearly meet the Governor’s Five-Year Economic Plan and meet his objective of supporting small businesses and developing the state’s workforce. Redevelopment of Golf Mill Mall will support small businesses at the mall and in the Milwaukee Avenue and Golf Road commercial corridors. Niles retail sales exceeded $1.5 billion in

VILLAGE OF NILES COMPETITIVE PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE PROGRAM APPLICATION
2019 and ranked in the top ten best performing suburbs in the Chicago Metropolitan Area in terms of retail sales. Niles supported over 5,434 unemployment insurance-covered retail trade jobs according to the Illinois Department of Employment Security report Where Workers Work 2019.
Connections to other capital investments – Does this project connect to other ongoing projects or planned investments in the region by the State of Illinois, federal or local governments? (Response in preparation)
Impact Amplification The project area and the Golf Mill Mall redevelopment are located along the Pace Pulse Bus Line which connects to both the Jefferson Park Rapid Transit line and the Metra Commuter Rail stations which connect to Downtown Chicago. Golf Mill Mall is also served by the Niles Free Bus. The I-294 Tollway is within two miles of Golf Mill Mall and will provide easy access for people in other suburbs. The Golf Mill Mall Redevelopment envisions a high-density, multifamily residential development of at least 300 units. There is also a high concentration of multi-family housing and senior housing developments located in proximity to Golf Mill Mall. Golf Mill Mall is also located less than one mile from Advocate Lutheran General Hospital which employees thousands and generates over 1.0 million visitors annually. The hospital is also responsible for a significant cluster of medical office facilities. According to the Illinois Department of Employment Security report, Where Workers Work 2019, Niles accounted for 3,816 unemployment-insurance covered health care jobs. Overall, the Village of Niles represents 18,139 unemployment insurance- covered employment.
Minority Inclusion Plan For this project, commitments have been made to include Minority-Owned Business Enterprises and Women- Owned Business Enterprises. The local match portions of the project will be funded through an IEPA loan. Niles has also received a commitment for reimbursement from the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago (MWRDGC). The project will meet the minimum minority participation requirements of the IEPA and for any portion that is to be reimbursed by the MWRDGS, will meet a minimum committed to 20% of that amount going toward Minority-Owned Business Enterprises and 10% of that amount going toward Women-Owned Business Enterprises.
Business Infrastructure The project would be coordinated in conjunction with the Golf Mill Mall redevelopment in order to provide detention and compensatory storage for the redevelopment. Golf Mill Park will also provide the open space, walking trails, and the recreational amenities required to facilitate the development of over 300 high-density multi-family apartment units in addition to the retail, restaurant, entertainment, hotel, recreational and medical office uses. Golf Mill Park is an integral component of the infrastructure required to retain and increase jobs. Without a redevelopment of the mall the property could show signs of commercial blight, increased retail vacancy, and job losses at the mall. The 1.1 million square foot mall currently accounts for over 2,500 jobs. The decline of Golf Mill Mall could increase commercial blight in both the Milwaukee Avenue and Golf Road commercial corridors. The revitalization of Golf Mill Park and Golf Mill Mall through new infrastructure is key to the Village’s economic base in terms of sales tax revenue, income tax revenue, property tax revenue and the job creation. The demise of Golf Mill Mall would have a cascading impact upon the Village’s economic base many years into the future.

Project Readiness Summary
The Village of Niles first committed to this project when it purchased 9101 Greenwood Avenue to gain control of the land on which the flood storage facility will be constructed. All areas of the project are owned by the Village, are located in the ROW, or have an existing utilities easement with only one small exception. There is one location, at the very upstream end of the project, where a sewer must be installed on private property. The proposed location already has other utilities running through it and the Village is currently working to secure an easement for the installation of the 18-inch sewer. If for any reason this could not be resolved, this small area of the project could be omitted or delayed. The Village has worked diligently to bring this project to life. Preliminary engineering was substantially completed in 2019. Also, a master planning effort was undertaken to identify a project plan that would meet the community’s needs and objectives. Final engineering was initiated in early 2020 and is expected to be completed in July 2020. The project has received Project Plan Approval from the IEPA for an IEPA Loan. This process included receiving environmental clearance from state and federal agencies. The project does require additional construction permits from the MWRDGC, IEPA and IDOT. Permit applications to these agencies are in preparation.
The project will not be phased, it will be constructed in a single construction season during 2021.

1. Description of current conditions and the problem 2. Pictures of flooding caused by inadequate drainage infrastructure 3. Recorded flood complaints in the project area 4. Results from the Healthier Niles Survey Report showing desire of residents for improved flood control in the village
Project Area Needs The project area experiences flooding due to undersized storm sewer systems and inadequate overland drainage routes. Depressions in these areas are particularly prone to flooding. Over 87 residential and commercial properties are impacted by the 100-year 2-hour storm event within the project area. The analysis of the storm sewer capacity was completed as a part of the update to the Village’s stormwater master plan, approved in 2018. Detailed XP-SWMM modeling of the storm sewers systems was used to map inundation areas. The pictures included in the next section document some of the flooding issues in this area. The problems in this area are recurring – the examples of flooding shown in the pictures are from three different storm events over the past several years. In addition to the photos, the Village of Niles keeps a record of flooding complaints that are received. A table with the flooding complaints from residents and owners if the project area have also been included.

Results from Healthier Niles Survey Report:
Given a final opportunity to comment about Niles as a place to live, 14 persons said that Niles is a “great place to live”. Next at 12 were comments about property taxes being too high. Eight individuals commented on frequent flooding and the need for storm control. Eight also discussed the need for better traffic control. Neglected homes were the target of seven commenters. (p. iv, Healthier Niles Survey Report)
Comments on “what is missing” were dominated by flood control (16) and the desire for a downtown or town center (12). Other items written in at least four times were airplane noise (6), more arts, entertainment (5), dog park (4), more restaurants (4), and sidewalks (4). (p. 9, Healthier Niles Survey Report)
Given the opportunity to write in other situations faced, problems with flooding (4), taxes (3) and snow removal (3) were most common. (p. 21. Healthier Niles Survey Report)

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the Village Board Village of Niles Niles, Illinois
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the Village of Niles, Illinois, as of and for the year ended April 30, 2019, and the statements of revenues, expenditures and changes in fund balance – budget and actual for the General Fund and the Gross Point Touhy TIF Fund (major Special Revenue Fund) and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the Village’s basic financial statements as listed in the accompanying table of contents.
Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions.
Opinions
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the Village of Niles, Illinois, as of April 30, 2019, and the respective changes in financial position and where applicable cash flows thereof, and the respective budgetary comparison for the General Fund and the Gross Point Touhy TIF Fund (major Special Revenue Fund) for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Emphasis of Matter
As discussed in Note IV.E. to the financial statements, the Village adopted Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 75, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Postemployment Benefits Other Than Pensions. Our opinions are not modified with respect to this matter.

We previously audited the Village of Niles, Illinois’, 2018 financial statements and expressed unmodified opinions on the respective financial statements of governmental activities, business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information in our report dated November 27, 2018. The summarized comparative information presented herein as of and for the year ended April 30, 2018, is consistent, in all material respects, with the audited financial statements from which it has been derived.
Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the Management’s Discussion and Analysis on pages MD&A-1 to MD&A-12 and the Schedules of Changes in the Employer’s Net OPEB Liability and Related Ratios (page 79), Employer Contributions (pages 80-85), Changes in the Employer’s Net Pension Liability and Related Ratios (pages 86-91), and Investment Returns (pages 92-93), respectively, be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with management’s responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance.
Other Supplementary Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively comprise the Village’s basic financial statements. The accompanying financial information listed as supplementary information and supplemental data on pages 94-161 and the introductory and statistical section on pages i-ix and 162-204, respectively, in the accompanying table of contents, are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements.
The supplementary information and supplemental data are the responsibility of management and were derived from and relate directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements. Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements or to the basic financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the information listed as supplementary information and supplemental data is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole.
The introductory and statistical sections have not been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion or any other form of assurance on them.
