AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY
ITEM TITLE:
AGENDAITEMNUMBER: — S&L. |
Resolution No. 21-R-0091 — Contract Award — Rotary
Hydrated Lime For Fiscal Year 2022 COMMITTEE AGENDA DATE: October 1h 2021
COUNCIL AGENDA DATE: October 18, 2021
STAFF REVIEW: Joseph Munder, Water Treatment Plant Superintendent SIGNATU
APPROVED BY CITY ADMINISTRATOR: Michael L. Guttman SIGNATURE
ITEM SUMMARY:
Rotary Hydrated Lime is one of the various chemicals used at the City’s Water Treatment Plant.
Approximately 1,900 tons of Rotary Hydrated Lime are used annually. Hydrated Lime is the key
component to our softening process. Hydrated lime reacts with existing bicarbonate salts (Calcium,
Magnesium, and most importantly, Radium) and converts them to insoluble carbonate salts, thus
removing them to a great degree from the treated water.
A Notice to Bidders was advertised in the Daily Herald on September 7, 2021, and sealed bids were
opened on September 28, 2021. There were four (4) bids received. The low bidder was Mississippi
Lime Company of St. Louis, Missouri, for a total contract price of $419,729.00 ($220.91/ton delivered).
This represents an 11.01% increase over FY 2021 unit prices. A bid tab showing the results of the bid
opening is attached for additional clarification.
Staff recommends that a contract be awarded to Mississippi Lime Company for the procurement of
Rotary Hydrated Lime, at a unit price of $220.91/ton delivered, for an amount not to exceed $419,729.00
for FY 2022. Mississippi Lime Company has been delivering Rotary Hydrated Lime to the City’s Water
Treatment Plant for the past sixteen years.
Adequate funds will be budgeted in the Water Fund, Water Treatment Plant Operations — Chemicals (06-
34-48-4626) to cover this expenditure.
ACTIONS PROPOSED:
Approve Resolution No. 21-R-0091 authorizing the Mayor to execute a contract with Mississippi Lime
Company of St. Louis, Missouri, for the procurement of Rotary Hydrated Lime, at a unit price of
$220.91/ton delivered, for an amount not to exceed $419,729.00 for Fiscal Year 2022.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION: t
The Infrastructure Committee voted 5-0 for approval.

CITY OF WEST CHICAGO
MEMORANDUM
TO: City Council
FROM: Michael L. Guttman, City Administrator NA
SUBJ: Video Gaming
DATE: October 14, 2021
At its August meeting, Chief Fleury provided a report that responded to the direction of the
majority of Public Affairs Committee (PAC) members and the majority of the Committee gave
staff clear direction to take two actions: (1) move the issue of video gaming to the City Council
so that all elected officials may contribute to the ongoing discussion; and (2) identify the
regulatory areas that are allowed for local regulation, as opposed to being dictated by State
Statute. The issue was discussed at the September 20" City Council meeting, where staff was
directed to do things:
(1) Prepare Ordinances that would allow for video gaming in West Chicago using what
direction had thus far been provided during Aldermanic discussions and reviewing other
local governments’ Ordinances (and the IML Model Ordinance); and
(2) Identify the next opportunities for municipalities to place referenda questions, and the
dates by which the questions needed to be submitted to the County.
The contents of this memorandum are limited to responding to the direction that was given at
that meeting and an update to the revenue projections due to the contents of the draft Ordinances
and the uncertainty of one establishment remaining operating in West Chicago next year.
Ordinance No 21-O-0027
This Ordinance provides for the local regulations surrounding video gaming. There are several
pertinent parts:
(1) Administration — The Liquor Commissioner is charged with reviewing and granting/denying
video game establishment licenses based upon the requirements set forth in the Ordinance as
well as suspending/revoking said licenses should violations occur.
(2) Video Game Establishment License — To be eligible for a video game establishment license,
here are some of the key requirements:
a. Applicant must be in possession, for at least 12 continuous months, a valid Class A-1,
A-2, A-3, B-4, E-1, E-3 or F liquor license. These license categories reflect
restaurants, social clubs (VF W and American Legion) and golf courses.

===== PDF PAGE 48 =====
[Extraction: OCR (rendered-page OCR)]
b. The maximum number of video gaming terminals is the lower of six or the ratio of at
least five seats for each video gaming terminal. For example, if an eligible
establishment has 15 seats for eating, it would only be permitted a maximum of three
gaming terminals.
c. All debts due and owing the City and State are paid in full.
(3) Advertising — But for signage required by State law, owners of video game establishment
licenses are prohibited from advertising the availability of video gaming therein and
elsewhere on the property, to include banners, flags and other forms of advertisement on
public or private property.
(4) License Application Requirements — The Ordinance lists a number of requirements, very
similar to what one would find on an application for a liquor license. Most notably different
is subsection (e):
“A floor plan, drawn to scale using a computer, detailing the overall layout of the
establishment, including the location and count of dining seating, the location and count of
video gaming terminals and seating for said terminals, and other significant features of the
establishment, including exit locations, restrooms and other equipment. Video gaming
terminals shall be placed in an area segregated by some visible means (wall, roping, railing,
etc.) from the principal use of the establishment A high-resolution electronic copy of the
floor plan as well as a paper printed copy (no smaller than 11 inches by 17 inches) shall be
submitted at the time of application; hand-drawn floor plans and floor plans not including a
scale will not be accepted;”
(5) Application Filing/Renewals — Applications are filed with the City Clerk or her designee.
The license year mirrors the City’s Fiscal Year, which is the calendar year, similar to liquor
licenses.
(6) Video Gaming Establishment License Fees — There is an annual license fee of $1,000 per
terminal, with the owner paying $250.00 and the operator paying $750.00. The fee is not
prorated.
(7) License Revocation or Suspension — The process the Liquor Commissioner must follow
should violations occur is stated. The fine structure is as follows:
(a) First offense in a twelve-month period: 72-hour video gaming terminal license
suspension and a $1,000 fine;
(b) Second offense in a twelve-month period: 72-hour video gaming terminal license
suspension and a $1,500 fine;
(c) Third offense in a twelve-month period: revocation of video gaming terminal license
suspension and a $2,000 fine;
(8) Start Date — To allow staff time to develop applications, licenses and other required
documentation, video gaming would commence on January 1, 2022.

Ordinance No. 21-O0-0028
This Ordinances creates a new supplementary liquor license category for owners who are eligible
to have a video gaming establishment license.
Revenue Projections
First the assumptions: 12 business owners had indicated that they would be interested in having
video gaming terminals and three owners did not respond. That number has been reduced to 11
establishments due to the owners of the Oasis Café making comments about finding another
location outside of our community. Based upon information taken the IL Gaming Board’s
records for DuPage County municipalities that have such (plus Batavia and St. Charles), there
are an average of 5.46 terminals per business that average producing about $2,400 annually per
machine going to the local government. Applying those figures to WC and adding an annual
$1,000/terminal fee to the City, the approximate revenue annually to WC would be about
$203,800. For most new revenue sources, I usually project receiving 80%-85% of the initial
estimate, until we have three years of solid local data. In light of 2(b) above, which would not
allow all establishments to have the maximum of six gaming terminals, I have reduced the
projected revenue for WC using 70%, which would approximate $143,000 annually.
Referendum Questions
For the General Primary Election, which will be held on Tuesday, June 28, 2022, a referendum
question must be submitted to DuPage County by March 21, 2022. After that, the General
Election is on Tuesday, November 8, 2022.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
