PROPOSED RESOLUTION

RESOLUTION REGARDING THE CLOSURE OF BOND COURTS AND OTHER SERVICES AT SUBURBAN COURTHOUSES ON WEEKENDS

WHEREAS, due to budget considerations the suburban courthouses at Rolling Meadows, Skokie, Maywood, Bridgeview and Markham will be closed on weekends; and

93 JOURNAL OF PROCEEDINGS FOR MARCH 1, 2012

WHEREAS, these closures are scheduled over a period of time, beginning with the closure of the Bridgeview courthouse; and

WHEREAS, these closures are now estimated to save $1.9 million in county expenditures; and

WHEREAS, these closures will compel the 128 suburban municipalities to transport all detainees to the Criminal Courts Building on the near southwest side of Chicago, requiring such communities to reduce the number of police officers on suburban streets or add overtime costs to such cash strapped communities; and

WHEREAS, these closures will most affect the suburban municipalities in greatest need of public safety services.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the President and Board of Commissioners are requesting the Office of the Chief Judge to review these possible solutions to providing court services on the weekends in suburban areas:

1) The opening of some courthouses on weekends, geographically, including one in the southern areas (Bridgeview or Markham), one in the central area (Maywood), and one in the northern areas (Rolling Meadows or Skokie);

2) The opening of the central courthouse (Maywood) only;

3) The alternate opening of one courthouse in each area on alternate weekends;

4) The opening of such courthouses for bond court only, without adding the other suburban courthouse services; and

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the President and Board of Commissioners direct that such report be submitted on or before March 1, 2012, and that no additional courthouses be closed on weekends until completion of this review; and

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Office of the Chief Judge, in cooperation with the financial offices of the county, prepare a financial impact of any options presented and prepare contingency plans to address any budgetary changes needed to fund such weekend court services as proposed by the Office of the Chief Judge as part of the report requested herein.

In order to determine the apparent low bidder, the base bids were determined for Group A. In order to comply with the Cook County Recycled Product Procurement Policy for recycled paper and recycled and chlorine free paper, 15% was added to the apparent low bidders base bid to see if a bid for recycled and chlorine- free paper fell under this threshold. Once the 15% was added to the apparent low bidders bid, Adlexx Corp. was the lowest responsive and responsible bidder meeting the solicitation requirements. In addition, they will print the notices using recycled and chlorine-free paper. The cost savings for this project are $9,556.

Estimated Fiscal Impact: $306,444.00 Contract period: One year with three additional 1- year renewal options. (Account 040-240).

WHEREAS, The Iran Threat Reduction Act (H.R. 1905) and the Iran, North Korea, and Syria Sanctions Consolidation Act of 2011 (S. 1048) would enshrine into law for the first time that it is U.S. policy to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons.

The applicant intends to lease 70,000 sq. ft. to Cortina Tool & Mold Company an industrial company. The applicant will construct dividing walls in the facility in order to lease the remaining 20,000 sq. ft. to an industrial user for manufacturing, warehousing and/or distribution use.

G3 Capital Partners, LLC requests approval of the tax incentive based on the special circumstances that the property had been vacant for less than 24 months; there has been a purchase for value; and substantial rehabilitation will be completed under the Class 6b Ordinance.

Submitting a Proposed Resolution sponsored by Toni Preckwinkle, President and Jeffrey R. Tobolski, County Commissioner.

WHEREAS, industrial real estate is normally assessed at 25% of its market value, qualifying industrial real estate eligible for the Class 6b can receive a significant reduction in the level of assessment from the date that new construction or rehabilitation has been completed, or in the case of abandoned property from the date of substantial re-occupancy.

WHEREAS, Class 6b requires the validation by the County Board of the shortened period of qualifying abandonment in cases where the facility has been abandoned for less than 24 consecutive months upon purchase for value; and

WHEREAS, the Cook County Board of Commissioners has determined that the building was abandoned for 16 months at the time of application, and that special circumstances are present; and

WHEREAS, the applicant acknowledges that it must provide an affidavit to the Assessor's Office stipulating that it is in compliance with the County’s Living Wage Ordinance prior to receiving the Class 6b incentive on the subject property.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the President and Board of Commissioners of the County of Cook, State of Illinois, that the President and Board of Commissioners validate the property located at 10750 West Grand Avenue, Franklin Park, Cook County, Illinois, is deemed abandoned with special circumstances under the Class 6b; and

The transfer of jurisdiction from the County to the Village became effective on September 25, 1995 upon execution of the Agreement by the State of Illinois.

Previously, your Honorable Body approved a Local Agency Agreement for Jurisdictional Transfer of Wentworth Avenue on September 8, 1995, wherein the County will design and construct improvements along Wentworth Avenue subject to right-of-way acquisition by the Village. Subsequently, the Village has requested changes to the improvement scope of work through the natural course of design and to meet the needs of the community, including sidewalk, street light relocation and Emergency Vehicle Pre- emptive Device (EVPD) installation. This Amendment reflects the changes to the improvement scope of work, obligations regarding right-of-way acquisition, preparation of contract plans, award date of construction and extensive drainage design revisions that were not anticipated in the Agreement. Further, the Village of Lansing is to reimburse Cook County for its share of the improvement costs (estimated Village share $84,773.50). The First Amendment has been examined and approved by this Department and by the State’s Attorney’s Office.

REQUEST TO TERMINATE LEASE AND EXECUTE A LICENSE AGREEMENT

Transmitting a Communication, dated February 8, 2012 from

ANNA ASHCRAFT, Director, Real Estate Management Division

In 2008, the Board of Commissioners entered into a four (4) year lease with Plaza Azteca, Inc. for use of a site at 26th and Washtenaw, for the operation of “Special Events,” including outdoor Mexican style rodeos, concerts, dances, markets, carnivals and community festivals. These events are held primarily on weekends from April through October. Prior to 2008, such events were permitted pursuant to a license. In 2008 a lease was executed due to Plaza Azteca, Inc.’s desire to construct permanent improvements on the site.

Plaza Azteca, Inc. has exercised its option contained in the lease for an additional four (4) years. However, since 2008 lower attendance and economic conditions have resulted in declining gross revenues and the tenant has requested a reduction in the annual license fee. In addition, the tenant no longer believes it is economically feasible to construct permanent improvements.

The County has also received a request from Windy City Harvest (WCH), for use of approximately 1.6 acres of the land currently leased to Plaza Azteca, Inc. WCH, a program of the Chicago Botanic Garden, which currently operates a sustainable agriculture production and skills training program at the Cook County Sheriff’s Boot Camp at 28th and Rockwell. Plaza Azteca, Inc., if granted a reduction in rent, is willing to return that portion of the property needed by WCH to expand its program at the Boot Camp,

170 JOURNAL OF PROCEEDINGS FOR MARCH 1, 2012 and is willing to cancel the lease in exchange for a license, giving the County more flexibility in use of the land.

Authorization is hereby requested to cancel the existing lease and execute a License Agreement with Plaza Azteca, Inc. on the terms set forth below. An initial license fee of $70,000.00 is being recommended which recognizes both the 10% reduction in the size of the site, and also the average 10% annual reduction in gross revenues experienced by Plaza Azteca, Inc. over the past few years. Details are:

Licensor: County of Cook Licensee: Plaza Azteca, Inc. Term: April 1, 2012 through March 31, 2016 Option Term: Licensee shall have an option to renew the license for an additional four (4) years, subject to approval of the license fee by the County Board.

License Fee: $70,000 per year for the use of the site, plus $1,500 per day for use of the parking structure, adjusted annually based on the Consumer Price Index.

Taxes: Licensee will pay all applicable taxes, including sales taxes and amusement taxes.

Right to Terminate: The County has a right to terminate with 180 day prior written notice. The Licensee may terminate if the company cannot obtain permits for its use of the licensed area.

Licensee has met the insurance requirements under the License Agreement.

Approval is recommended. ______

Commissioner Garcia, seconded by Commissioner Steele, moved that the request of the Director of the Real Estate Management Division be approved and that the Proper Officials be authorized to sign on behalf of Cook County. The motion carried unanimously.

LICENSE AGREEMENT

Transmitting a Communication, dated February 8, 2012 from

ANNA ASHCRAFT, Director, Real Estate Management Division respectfully requesting approval of a License Agreement between the County of Cook, as licensor and the Chicago Horticultural Society, as licensee, for use of approximately 1.6 acres of land formerly leased to Plaza Azteca, Inc. located immediately south of 26th Street and east of the parking structure on the Department of Corrections Campus.

The Windy City Harvest Program (“WCH”) is a program of the Chicago Horticultural Society delivered in partnership with the Richard J. Daley College satellite campus, Arturo Velasquez Institute, offering a nine-month certificate program in sustainable horticulture and agriculture, intended primarily for at-risk students eligible for Workforce Investment Act (“WIA”) funding.

Since 2007, WCH and the Cook County Sheriff have operated a successful program for training of inmates and post-release participants in the Sheriff’s Boot Camp program. WCH provides hands-on

171 JOURNAL OF PROCEEDINGS FOR MARCH 1, 2012 instruction in growing practices, composting operations, aquaponics, literacy skills and workforce readiness, to approximately 75 inmates per year during the four-month incarceration phase of the Boot Camp program. WCH offers sixteen weeks of paid internship and training for selected post-release participants through subsidized WIA funding. Additionally, WCH offers unsubsidized seasonal employment to qualified graduates of the internship program who choose to pursue a certificate program, and “work study” opportunities for certificate candidates. WCH has placed graduates of the program in permanent employment for both public and private employers, demonstrating the program’s success in providing individuals with the skills necessary to return to and contribute to the community.

The expansion of the WCH program into the 26th Street Site would allow relocation of the composting operation, which is causing issues with the Sheriff’s use of areas adjacent to the Boot Camp, and construction of new garden areas, allowing WCH to serve more clients, both Boot Camp participants and other at-risk individuals.

With the additional land, WCH estimates that projected vegetable production would increase substantially, yielding annual revenues of $80,000.00 or more. Revenues are used to support the ongoing operations of WCH’s program, and thereby benefit the County by reducing recidivism and the burden on the criminal justice system. Details are:

Licensor: County of Cook Licensee: Chicago Horticultural Society Location: The licensed area is located north of Division XI of the Cook County Department of Corrections and is bounded by 26th Street, Rockwell Avenue and Washtenaw Avenue Term: April 1, 2012 – December 31, 2017 Termination: 90 day written notice by either party

Licensee has met the insurance requirements under the License Agreement.

Approval is recommended. ______

Commissioner Garcia, seconded by Commissioner Steele, moved that the request of the Director of the Real Estate Management Divison be approved and that the Proper Officials be authorized to sign on behalf of Cook County. The motion carried unanimously.

DEPARTMENT OF RISK MANAGEMENT

REQUEST TO AMEND A PREVIOUSLY APPROVED ITEM

Transmitting a Communication, dated January 31, 2012 from

MARIA DE LOURDES COSS, Chief Procurement Officer and LISA WALIK, Director of Risk Management requesting authorization for the Cook County Board of Commissioners to approve as amended (Item #11), which was previously approved on the May 18, 2010 Board Agenda.

The amendment is indicated by the underscored and stricken language.

Transmitting a Communication, dated May 3, 2010 from

172 JOURNAL OF PROCEEDINGS FOR MARCH 1, 2012

LISA M. WALIK, Director, Department of Risk Management requesting authorization for the Purchasing Agent Chief Procurement Officer to enter into and execute a contract with Fort Dearborn Life Insurance Company, Chicago, Illinois, to provide eligible Cook County employees with basic and supplemental Group Term Life Insurance benefits.

Reason: A Request for Proposal (RFP) was issued this past spring for these benefits. Nine (9) insurance companies responded to the RFP and five (5) companies were selected as finalists: Aetna Life Insurance Company, Fort Dearborn Life Insurance, Guardian Life Insurance Company of America, MetLife (Metropolitan Life Insurance Company) and Prudential Insurance Company of America. While the contract period is for three (3) years, with two (2) one-year renewal options, Fort Dearborn Life Insurance Company has guaranteed the monthly premium rates for the five-year period. Based on the negotiated premium, the County will realize savings of approximately $725,000.00 for the remainder of the fiscal year, and annualized savings of approximately of $1,450,000.00 based on the current in force rates.

Estimated Fiscal Impact*: $10,800,000.00 (FY 2010 - $1,800,000.00; FY 2011 - $3,600,000.00; FY 2012 - $3,600,000.00; and FY 2013 - $1,800,000.00). Contract period: June 1, 2010 through May 31, 2013. (490-175, 499-175 and 899-175 Accounts). Requisition No. 04900002.

* The estimated fiscal impact is based on current enrollment and salaries. The cost of this benefit has a direct relationship to the salaries of eligible employees and is subject to change based on scheduled salary increases and the outcome of labor negotiations. Therefore, the fiscal impact is subject to increase accordingly. Based on these factors, sufficient funds will be budgeted for each fiscal year.

Approval of this item would commit Fiscal Years 2011, 2012, and 2013 funds.

Vendor has met the Minority and Women Business Enterprise Ordinance. ______

Commissioner Daley, seconded by Commissioner Sims, moved that the request of the Director of Risk Management be approved. The motion carried unanimously.
