V. Non-Agenda Public Comment  
The following persons spoke thie r Non-Agenda Public Comments aloud:  
Diane Ratekin: Diane Ratekin spoke their public comment expressing  
their concern regarding the traffic and gunshot issues on the 500 and 600  
blocks of North Taylor which they feel are exasperated by the 24 hour BP  
gas station on the northwest corner of Taylor Avenue and Chicago Avenue.  
They believe it is essential to their quality of life on their block that the  
village responds quickly and effectively to their neighborhood's concerns.  
Kathleen Bokar: Kathleen Bokar spoke their public comment expressing  
their concerns with the traffic and gunshots in their neighborhood. They  
request that time and attention be paid to the safety on our streets.  
John Gagliano: John Galgliano spoke their public comment expressing  
their concern at the major safety problem on Taylor Avenue. Taylor Avenue  
has become the bypass street to avoid Austin Boulevard, and coupled with  
the 24 hour BP gas station, this has lead to traffic on Taylor Ave that is the  
cause for their unsafe neighborhood. They are requesting the Traffic  
Commission support providing a traffic calming measure of physical  
barrier or impediment that will limit traffic in their neighborhood.  
Karl Leonard: Karl Leonard spoke their public comment expressing their  
concerns with the crime and gunshots that have occurred in their  
neighborhood and believe the BP gas station on their corner is attributing  
to these issues. They request assistance from the village to help curb the  
shootings near the gas station and the reckless driving in their  
neighborhood.  
Carolyn Newberry Schwartz: Carolyn Newberry Schwartz spoke their  
public comment expressing their concerns with the rise in gunshots in their  
neighborhood. There is a sense of urgency to these episodes and about  
the increasing volume and speed of traffic on their block. They request to  
not delay in enacting a traffic calming measure that will allow for the egress  
of traffic and effectively calm things down on their block.  
Village clerk Christina Waters then read the following public comments  
aloud:  
Amanda Valente: Amanda Valente submitted their public comment  
asking the Board to consider the impact of the day care masking  
guidelines released last week, and believes the Oak Park Health  
Department should not be able to override the standards established by  
the CDC, ILDCFS, and ILDPH without providing compelling scientific data  
showing why Oak Park should be treated separately from all neighboring  
communities.  
Michael Valente: Michael Valente submitted their public comment asking  
the Board to investigate how many schools are still requiring facial  
coverings by their health departments, and believes the Oak Park Health  
Department should not be able to override the standards established by  
the CDC, ILDCFS, and ILDPH without providing compelling scientific data  
showing why Oak Park should be treated separately from all neighboring  
communities.  
Corina Davis: Corina Davis submitted their public comment asking the  
Board to urge the Oak Park Department of Public Health to comply with  
international, federal, and state guidance which provide that children under  
5 may be unmasked indoors regardless of vaccination status.  
Jenny Austin: Jenny Austin submitted their public comment expressing  
disappointment that the health department has disregarded federal and  
state guidance in issuing a mask mandate for Oak Park daycares and  
preschools, and asks the Board to rescind the local health department's  
ability to make unilateral decisions such as this one that have widespread  
consequences for families and businesses across the community.  
Venessa Gonzalez and Justin Mayer: Venessa Gonzalez and Justin  
Mayer submitted their public comment thanking the Board for their  
continued efforts and commitment in keeping the community as safe as  
possible as we enter year-three of the Covid-19 pandemic. As parents of a  
disabled D97 student who is at high risk of complications from Covid-19,  
they ask to maintain the indoor mandate.  
Devon Brennan: Devon Brennan submitted their public comment  
pleading with the Oak Park Health Department to make masks optional for  
their young child, and believes the Oak Park Health Department should not  
be able to override the standards established by the CDC, ILDCFS, and  
ILDPH without providing compelling scientific data showing why Oak Park  
should be treated separately from all neighboring communities.  
Doug Rosenberg: Doug Rosenberg submitted their public comment  
requesting to remove the mask requirements and to be in the mainstream.  
Jenna Leving Jacobson: Jenna Leving Jacobson submitted their public  
comment in support of continuing public health policies that will help  
prevent the spread of Covid-19, including requiring masks at childcare  
centers. Understanding the pandemic fatigue, they believe we should not  
let a deadly virus spread just because we are tired of it.  
Kristen Sposeep: Kristen Sposeep submitted their public comment in  
support of allowing the early education children to unmask out of concern  
for our community's children falling behind as a result of this, and believes  
the Oak Park Health Department should not be able to override the  
standards established by the CDC, ILDCFS, and ILDPH without providing  
compelling scientific data showing why Oak Park should be treated  
separately from all neighboring communities.  
Lauren Hyde: Lauren Hyde submitted their public comment stating there  
is no need to continue masking kids under the are of 5 at daycares, and  
asks the Health Department to update our guidance to match the CDC,  
IDPH, and DCFS.  
Matt Bogue: Matt Bogue submitted their public comment requesting the  
Oak Park Department of Health adhere to the updated guidance of the  
CDC and the State of Illinois issued on February 28 in respects to daycare  
settings.  
Marissa and Chris Fasano: Marissa and Chris Fasano submitted their  
public comment expressing their concern and disappointment with the Oak  
Park Health Department's new policy to continue masking preschool and  
daycares, and asked the Board to reconsider the newly implemented  
policy.  
Margaret McMahon: Margaret McMahon submitted their public comment  
expressing their thankfulness at the continued cautiousness and  
consideration of the entire community in response to the ongoing  
pandemic, and requested the village ask the Park District to start  
employing "masks recommended" rather than "optional" since it engages  
many young Oak Parkers.  
Robin Kalish: Robin Kalish submitted their public comment thanking Dr.  
Chapple for following the guidance of the AAP which continues to  
emphasize the importance of masking for children under 5 who have not  
been able to be vaccinated.  
Roshni Ricchetti: Roshni Ricchetti submitted their public comment  
expressing their opposition to the Oak Park Health Department's policy  
requiring 2-4 year olds to keep masking, stating the health department's  
rules are inequitable, unsubstantiated in science, in contravention of  
legitimate public health expertise, and cruel.  
Shaina Knepler: Shaina Knepler submitted their public comment thanking  
the Oak Park Health Department for taking the steps to continue to protect  
our unvaccinated children under 5 and in daycare/ preschool facilities, and  
requested to continue to take protective measures to protect the vulnerable  
in our community.  
Brynne Hovde: Brynne Hovde submitted their public comment expressing  
a desire for better communications regarding COVID-19, stating all Oak  
Parker's would benefit from more nuances, real-time communication  
directly from the Health Department. They asked the Board to consider how  
we might do better with consistent, candid, and clear communication.  
Sara Pastrovich: Sara Pastrovich submitted their public comment asking  
for clarification on, and raise their concerns about, the Oak Park Health  
Department's order regarding COVID mitigation requirements in daycares.  
The believe the policy is inconsistent with the CDC guidance and Illinois'  
recent mask-optional policies for daycares and would like a response and/  
or opportunity to have a live conversation about this.

T.  
An Ordinance Granting an Extension of Time to Complete Construction of  
the Planned Development at 715-717 South Boulevard (Residences of  
South Boulevard)  
Interim Village Manager Shelley introduced Director of Development  
Customer Services, Tammie Grossman.  
Director Grossman then gave an overview of the Item and the reasons  
behind staff's recommendation of a six month extension.  
Village Trustee Buchanan requested clarification regarding what remedies  
the Board has as an ultimatum.  
Director Grossman responded the Board could deny the extension and the  
developer would have to go back through the plan development process  
again to move forward with the project. The hope is that a six month  
extension will require the developer to come back to the Board and report  
on the progress and ultimately encourage the developer to finish the  
project.  
Village Trustee Robinson requested the hear from the developer on the  
reasons for the current extension.  
Art Gurevich, construction manager of the development, responded the last  
two years have been challenging due to the COVID pandemic, and the  
increase in costs of materials and the supply chain issues have put a drag  
on the project. We have challenges, we are meeting them, we are  
overcoming them and moving forward.  
Village Trustee Parakkat requested clarification on the tax loss and if there  
is a financial impact when there is a delay in a development.  
Director Grossman responded while a development is under construction it  
is assessed at a lower rate than when it is complete and fully occupied, and  
there is a financial impact.  
Village Trustee Buchanan requested clarification regarding the validity of  
supply chain disruption as it relates to the delays for this project.  
Village Planner Craig Failor responded he has seen it affect other  
developments, but maybe not to the same extent. The developer is more if  
an independent developer, unlike a larger developer that may have better  
resources.  
Village Trustee Taglia expressed their support of staff's recommendation  
for a six month extension.  
Village Trustee Enyia expressed their support of staff's recommendation  
for a six month extension.  
President Scaman then requested a motion for an ordinance granting an  
extension of time to complete the construction of the planned development  
at 715-717 South Boulevard for an additional six months.  
Village Trustee Enyia moved, and Village Trustee Robinson seconded the  
motion.  
It was moved by Village Trustee Enyia, seconded by Village Trustee Robinson, to  
adopt the Ordinance. The motion was approved. The roll call on the vote was as

Corporation to Purchase Lucas Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Devices and  
Related Items in an Amount Not to Exceed $93,894.91, Authorizing its  
Execution and Waiving the Village’s Bid Process for the Purchase  
Interim Village Manager Shelley introduced the Item.  
Deputy Fire Chief Joseph Terry gave some background and an overview of  
the Item.  
Village Trustee Buchanan commented while she understands the desire to  
have consistent and good compressions, from her research she cannot  
find where these devices improved outcomes, although they may provide a  
safety benefit to the EMS staff during transit. She provided some resources  
of her findings to the Trustees.  
Village Trustee Enyia requested clarification on the maintenance for this  
equipment.  
Deputy Chief Terry responded there is a five year service plan that is at no  
additional cost for this request.  
Village Trustee Robinson requested clarification regarding staff's thoughts  
on the effectiveness of this equipment especially under specific instances  
during various transport scenarios.  
Deputy Chief Terry responded staff's perspective was to drill down and see  
where and what they can correct to improve outcomes for people  
experiencing cardiac arrest. It is difficult to do compressions transporting  
someone on a cot or chair maneuvering on stairs or a ramp. This  
equipment will hopefully give the person a chance, even a small chance, to  
go home.  
Village Trustee Taglia expressed their appreciation for the information  
presented and all the research into this equipment and is in support of this  
request.  
Village Trustee Buchanan requested clarification if staff has had to use this  
equipment.  
Deputy Chief Terry responded they have had them since January 11 and  
have had to use them in 12 instances, with three individuals having a return  
to spontaneous circulation. Staff has had a good experience with the  
equipment both with patient outcome and staff moral and confidence.  
It was moved by Village Trustee Robinson, seconded by Village Trustee  
Parakkat, to adopt the Resolution. The motion was approved. The roll call on the

A Resolution Authorizing the Submission of an Application for a COVID-19  
Response Grant with the Illinois Department of Public Health with an  
Anticipated Total Funding Amount of $250,000 and Approval of  
Subsequent Agreements and Authorizing their Execution  
Interim Village Manager Shelley introduced the Item and introduced Dr.  
Chapple-McGrudder, the Director of Health, to present on this request.  
Dr. Chapple-McGrudder provided an overview of the Item.  
Village Trustee Robinson requested clarification regarding the hazard pay  
for the four current health staff within the grant request.  
Dr. Chapple-McGrudder responded the grant allows for hazard pay as part  
of the grant request. It is an opportunity to provide additional pay to public  
health employees who are putting themselves in risk for the community.  
This will cover some overtime for four staff for COVID-related activities  
such as managing the vaccination clinics which typically happen outside of  
normal working hours. Hazard pay is already built in to the two additional  
positions in the grant request. Ultimately the State will have to approve all  
requests in the grant, so they will determine if this hazard pay request is  
reasonable.  
Interim Village Manager Shelley added it is their understanding that there  
are different definitions for hazard pay. This grant refers to those  
administering the test and is paid on an hourly basis. We will have to wait  
and see if the Illinois Department of Public Health accepts the request and  
determining what the hourly rate would be.  
Village Trustee Buchanan commented in their experience with these types  
of requests, if the government is allowing for extra money to pay you, you  
apply for the extra money to pay you. If this grant is allowing for requests to  
pay hazard pay then it makes sense to apply for it.  
Village Trustee Buchanan requested clarification if this grant is solely for  
testing and not vaccination promotion.  
Dr. Chapple-McGrudder responded in the affirmative, adding there is an  
additional grant that is for vaccines so both of these grants can be used in  
concert when they are out to do both vaccines and testing at the same time.  
Village Trustee Buchanan requested clarification on the future use of the  
mobile health van.  
Dr. Chapple-McGrudder responded currently they are utilizing the van for  
flu, COVID and testing purposes. The long term goal is to use this mobile  
van moving forward to do all health department types of work in the  
community.  
Village Trustee Parakkat requested clarification regarding what happens  
after this grant expires on December 31, 2022 when it seems that fall and  
winter are the times that cases will go up.  
Dr. Chapple-McGrudder responded the state has historically extended  
grants if the need continues and they would expect there would be  
discussions about extending the grants should there be a surge in the  
winter. Should the grant expire on December 31 we would most likely have  
access to the antigen tests.  
Village Trustee Parakkat added in terms of the long-term plan we are not  
banking on tax dollars from the local community to support this program -  
this will always be a grant-based.  
Dr. Chapple-McGrudder responded in the affirmative.  
Village Trustee Taglia commented they had a similar concern to Trustee  
Parakkat regarding the long-term funding of this program. They understand  
there is some uncertainty of what happens beyond the end of the year, but  
as a fiduciary we are not employing a lot of full-time employees that the  
village will have to fund; at the end of the year if there is no further funding  
from the State then that is it. The board will need to be mindful and see  
what it looks like at the end of the year.  
Village Trustee Enyia requested clarification on when we would hear back  
about the grant and what the next steps would be.  
Dr. Chapple-McGruder responded the State typically does a 48 hour turn  
around time from when they receive the grant request.  
Village Trustee Parakkat requested clarification regarding the marketing  
role that will work with our Communications Department.  
Dr. Chapple-McGrudder responded they think that role is best filled by a  
social media marketing firm that would do all the messaging on various  
platforms, and will work with the Communications Department to help  
identify a firm to help with all of this.  
Village Trustee Parakkat requested an update on this grant sometime in  
October in terms of where we stand and what will happen going forward.  
Dr. Chapple-McGrudder responded in the affirmative.  
Village Trustee Robinson commented she will be voting no for this Item  
principally because of the hazard pay request for the four staff positions  
who, up to this point, have not received hazard pay and do not meet the  
criteria by the Department of Labor for hazard pay.  
Dr. Chapple-McGrudder clarified the grant as written does not necessarily  
have to be the grant as funded, but that decision would come from the  
State if they felt we were doing something that is not in line with what the  
grant is intended for.  
Village Attorney Stephanides added this is totally controlled by the State  
and their interpretation and is out of the Village's hands. It would be  
pursuant to the State's view of the application as filed by the Village.  
Interim Village Manager Shelley commented if we were to receive the  
grant, when it relates to people's pay we would double check with payroll  
and the grant staff to ensure we are submitting it correctly and to ensure the  
village gets reimbursed.  
It was moved by Village Trustee Buchanan, seconded by Village Trustee Taglia,  
to adopt the Resolution. The motion was approved. The roll call on the vote was

to attend the Oak Leyden fundraiser which supports children and adults  
with disabilities, as well as the Dominican University's scholarship benefit  
which raised money to provide financial aid to students to attend the  
University. She also thanked Forest Park Mayor Rory Hoskins for inviting  
her and other local officials to walk together in the Forest Park St. Patrick's  
Day Parade. She invited the community to join her on Tuesday night to  
attend Good Shepherd Lutheran Church for a tribute to woman in the arts.
