Motion approved by voice vote, with ommissioners Berman, Seniuta, and Strauch abstaining. 3. fficers lection irector larke summarized this item and explained that ommissioners should proceed to vote on the two members who were nominated for the officer positions at the May meeting. t was stated that in May, James Persino was nominated for hair and James Kucienski nominated for ice hair. t was stated that there is no prescribed method of voting and with only one member nominated for each position, a motion from the floor could suffice. Hearing no further discussion, ommissioner Berman moved to nominate ommissioner Persino to hairman, and ommissioner Kucienski to ice hair. ommissioner Seniuta Strauch seconded the motion. he motion was unanimously approved, 8-0, by voice vote. 4. ook ounty 7B ax batement equest: 6850 Mcormick Blvd.- Former ominick s ocation irector larke provided a summary and background on this 7B ook ounty tax abatement request, noting that this matter was discussed by the ommission in May and that based on direction given at that meeting by the ommission, Kane McKenna and ssociates was engaged by the illage to review this request. hairman Persino also provided background on this matter for the new and pending ommissioners. t was reiterated that while the ounty grants the tax abatement, the ounty requires the local municipality to consent to the abatement in order for the ounty to grant the abatement. larke noted that at the May meeting, the ommission was desirous that the property have retail sales producing tenants. He indicated that the ounty would not recognize any condition placed on the illage s consent to the tax abatement, such as requiring retail sales tax tenants, but that the illage ttorney indicated that the ommission s concern could be addressed in a evelopment greement which would be prepared and that this evelopment greement along with the formal consent by the illage to the ounty s 7B tax abatement and the needed P amendment, would all be considered for approval by the illage Board at the same time. hairman Persino reminded members that the proposal by & Global included two captive tenants, Planet Fitness and Zips ry leaners, which produce very little sales tax and while the petitioner indicated that they were in discussions with Binny s Beverage Mart and Pet Smart for other tenant space, this was not a forgone conclusion. Brian 2

4 ishforth of & Global noted that they were also in discussions with Fresh Market and the Sports uthority as well for tenant space at this location. Bob ychlicki of Kane McKenna and ssociates (KM) noted that ook ounty has taken an aggressive posture in its attempt to have former ominick s spaces occupied and that the ounty has been encouraging the use of 7B tax abatements to accomplish this. He stated that the ounty, as part of the local consent to the abatement, does require that the ominick s location be determined to be blighted within the last 0 years and that KM has reviewed the subject property and prepared a report that documents that the site remains blighted. He continued and indicated that while they have not seen the etters of ntent from the would-be tenants to confirm, he stated that tenants are limited in the amount of rent and taxes that they are willing to pay and that the material provided by the petitioner argues for the abatement to be granted, in order to secure the proposed multi-tenant occupancy of the property. iscussion continued by the ommission and petitioner on approval timing and on the status of plans for the outlot. & global confirmed a 7,000 square foot outlot building was being planned for both a Zips ry leaners and a Quick Serve estaurant. t was noted that subject to plans being submitted, the illage would act as swiftly as possible in moving the P amendment through the illage s consideration and approval process. n considering action on this matter, larke noted that the ommission should consider what the specific retail requirement they would like to have. iscussion ensued and by general consensus and with concurrence by & Global, the ommission determined that 50% of the vacant ominick s building space and the proposed outlot building, should be retail sales tax producing tenants. t was indicated this equated to approximately 35,000 square feet of building devoted at this location to retail sales tax producing tenants. ommissioner Strauch inquired as to whether the 7B designation would decrease tax revenue for the school districts. hairman Persino noted that it was a general misnomer that specific property tax abatements negatively affect governments including school districts, since the property tax levy adopted by each government is collected in its entirety; it is just shifted among tax payers. dditional discussion occurred regarding property taxes and it was noted that the proposed improvements and occupancy to this site would actually increase property taxes paid, even with the requested tax abatement granted. ommissioner Mcoy inquired whether the 7B status would stay with this property regardless of a change in ownership. ttorney Mr. santilis representing & Global, 3

5 explained that the 7B status would stay with the land, as long as the property remains above 50% occupancy and that should the property ever go below 50% occupancy, then the property would lose the 7B status. Hearing no other discussion, ice hair Kucienski, made a motion to recommend provisional consent to the ook ounty 7B property tax abatement request by & Global Partners for the former ominick s site, subject to: ) approval of the needed P mendment; 2) approval and execution of a evelopment greement; and 3) subject to a requirement that 50% of the building square footage be occupied by retail sales tax producing tenants.

Manager Wiberg noted the omprehensive Plan initiative now occurring and encouraged ommissioners to complete on-line surveys and participate in workshops and meetings on this work. t was noted that hairman Persino is a member of the omprehensive Plan ommittee. hairman Persino suggested that owners of vacant commercial properties along incoln venue be invited to an upcoming ommission meeting to discuss with the ommission possible assistance, such as the ook ounty 7B tax abatement program, that might be able to help in the occupancy of these properties. iscussion ensued regarding these incoln venue properties and hairman Persino asked staff to organize such meeting with these property owners for an upcoming meeting.
