SUBJECT:

Purpose
This memo outlines the major projects and tasks undertaken by the Administration Department over the
last year. Administration Department includes ten positions – Village Manager Kent Street, Assistant Village
Manager Justin Keenan, Management Analyst Jessica Sciarretta, Communications Coordinator David
Fitzgerald-Sullivan, Deputy Village Clerk Daniel Van Dusen, IT Director Matthew Weiss, IT Systems
Administrator Michael Mulvany, IT Systems Specialist Melissa Gocek, IT Systems Technician Robert Turner
and Custodian Michael Konke.
As provided by ordinance, the Village Manager advises the Mayor and Board of Trustees on policy decisions
and acts as Chief Administrative Officer, supervising the activities of all department heads and directing the
day-to-day operations of the Village. The Village Manager is also appointed Village Clerk by the Mayor and
Board of Trustees.
Village Manager’s Office
In addition to supporting the Mayor, Village Board, Village Attorney, Boards and Commissions and
Departments, the Village Manager’s Office undertook a number of significant projects over the past year.
They include the following:
Village Communications
1. Improved outreach and following from the public. Subscribers to the weekly E-blasts are at 3,182
this year with a 68% open rate, compared to the government industry average open rate of 30.5%.
This year, subscribers opened 117,490 e-blasts, up from 97,734 e-blasts last year. In total, 75
eblasts were sent to date. In social media, Village Facebook followers have increased by more than
10% since the start of the year to 4,771 from 4,319 last year. The number of Farmers Market
Facebook page followers grew by 5% to 1,895.
2. Continued to encourage individuals to subscribe to our messages on all platforms.
3. Grew the Village’s presence on LinkedIn to connect with professionals worldwide, share our

openings and promote the professional developments, achievements and presentations of staff.
4. Worked with Jasculca Terman Strategic Communications to develop a crisis communications plan.
The plan was finalized on January 20, 2025. At some point, our community is likely to encounter
issues or crises that require thoughtful, deliberate, quick and coordinated action and
communications. Although the timing or nature of an issue or crisis cannot always be predicted,

December 15, 2025
The regular meeting of the Board of Trustees of the Village of Deerfield was called to order on
December 15, 2025, at 7:30 p.m. at Deerfield Village Hall. The clerk called the roll and
announced that the following were
Present:

Dan Shapiro, Mayor
Robert Benton
Larry Berg
Jennifer Goldstone
Jesse Greenberg
Elaine Jacoby (remote)
Mary Oppenheim

Absent:
and that a quorum was present and in attendance. Also present were Village Manager Kent Street
and Benjamin Schuster, Village Attorney.
PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE

Commander Oliver Cachola led those in attendance
in reciting the Pledge of Allegiance.

MOMENT OF SILENCE

Those in attendance observed a moment of silence
for the victims of the mass shootings in Australia
and at Brown University. Mayor Shapiro read a statement regarding the recent mass shootings
and antisemitism.
“I speak today with a heavy heart and with deep outrage over the violence we witnessed this
weekend. In Australia, the killings were aimed directly at the Jewish community, an act of
antisemitic hatred intended to intimidate and terrorize people for who they are and how they
worship. Such violence is not only an attack on individuals; it is an assault on the values of
tolerance and mutual respect that bind communities together. Deerfield is home to a vibrant and
proud Jewish community. You will never stand alone in the face of hate.
The killings at Brown University struck a place dedicated to learning and the free exchange of
ideas. And yet, as shocking as this tragedy is, it is also tragically familiar. It was one of 391 mass
shootings this year alone. That number should stop us cold, not because it is statistics, but
because it reflects lives lost, families shattered, and futures cut short.
We are outraged that hatred continues to find targets. Outraged that faith communities, and in
particular the Jewish community must worry about its safety. Outraged that schools and public
spaces are no longer assumed to be safe.
We will remain vigilant and diligent in ensuring that our Village and our Jewish community its
synagogues, schools, and gathering places are safe and protected. We will continue to work
closely with law enforcement and community leaders. Safety is not optional; it is fundamental.

Board of Trustees meeting
December 15, 2025
Page 2 of 10

These moments demand clarity and resolve. Antisemitism has no place in Deerfield, in Illinois,
or anywhere in the world. Violence cannot be normalized, and indifference is not an option. We
honor those lost by standing with the grieving, protecting one another, and recommitting
ourselves to a community defined not by fear, but by dignity, safety, and justice for all.”
PRESENTATION

Deputy Chief Brian Budny provided a brief
summary of the Field of Honor and showed a video
recap. Deputy Chief Budny noted the Committee wanted to support Lake County and met with
schools, community organizations, the DBR Chamber, local media and got support from
everyone. They had 500 flags that stood in tribute to veterans over the five days and a lot of
community support. The Committee recognized the gold sponsors for the event including the
Deerfield Post 29 of the American Legion, Donald Otter, Fortune Brands and the Police
Department Citizens Police Academy. They raised over $23,000 and will donate $6,442.98 each
to Lake County Honor Flight and the Midwest Veterans Closet.
Lisa Madden from the Lake County Honor Flight and Mary Carmody from the Midwest
Veterans Closet thanked the Village and everyone who participated for helping and allowing
them to be part of this fundraising opportunity. The donation will help send four veterans on
honor flights. Mayor Shapiro noted the video was quite inspiring. The event was remarkable and
was planned, coordinated and executed so well. The Village appreciates everything the Honor
Flight and Veterans Closet does to support the veterans.
DOCUMENT APPROVAL

Trustee Oppenheim moved to approve the minutes
from the December 1, 2025 Board of Trustees

from the November 2025 Treasurer’s Report

AYES: Benton, Berg, Goldstone, Greenberg, Jacoby, Oppenheim (6)
NAYS: None (0)
Susan O’Malley addressed the proposed agreement
between herself and the Briarwood Country Club
concerning the flooding she experiences in her backyard, which borders the country club. In
September, she attended a meeting with the club manager and attorney and they brought up a
proposed plan with a berm. Ms. O’Malley stated only one party has damages, and it is the
Village who can get the money from Lake County and the country club who has caused the
damages.
PUBLIC COMMENT

Ms. O’Malley noted she has provided numerous documents to the Village that date back to 2001.
She believes the country club does not care and will continue to do what they are doing. She has
tried to meet with them, written letters, called, etc. She asked the Village to assist. Mayor
Shapiro noted Ms. O’Malley’s attorney is her advocate for what could be an agreement. If that
agreement is executed, that allows the Village to help her with grant funding for her benefit. The
Village cannot control the country club. He hopes Ms. O’Malley’s lawyer advocates her position
to Briarwood Country Club.
Arnie Matuk discussed mental health and stressed the importance of proper sleep habits.

Brumm reported the Village has had an agreement
with Municipal GIS Partners (MGP) since 2002 to
participate in a 42-member consortium. In order to
continue service, each year the Village needs to renew its contract with MGP. Due to the success
of the consortium, renewal pricing has remained relatively low over the years, with a 2.7%
increase in 2022, 3.7% increase in 2023, 3.4% increase in 2024, a 4.6% increase in 2025 as well
as a 3.6% increase for services in 2026. A renewal contract and supplement statement of work
authorize a one-year contract extension through December 31, 2026.
MGP provides the Village with support services, staffing and consulting work in an effort to
construct and maintain the Village's GIS system. This arrangement allows for efficiencies and a
discounted fee structure that allocates MGP staff hours based on the level of service required for
each community. The Village operates at a 40% allocation whereby MGP staff is on-site two
days per week.
Trustee Oppenheim moved to approve a Resolution approving the renewal of a contract with
Municipal GIS Partners in an amount not to exceed $99,734.04. Trustee Benton seconded the
motion. The motion passed by the following vote:
AYES: Benton, Berg, Goldstone, Greenberg, Jacoby, Oppenheim (6)
NAYS: None (0)
RESOLUTION R-25-71 TO PURCHASE
LANDSCAPE PLANT MATERIAL

Mr. Brumm reported the Village has been
purchasing landscaping material from Red’s

Board of Trustees meeting
December 15, 2025
Page 5 of 10
FROM RED’S GARDEN CENTER

Garden Center for approximately 20 years. Staff
has been impressed with the quality of the plant
material they provide and they have been a dependable supplier with excellent customer service.
Staff recognizes the need for high quality plants for the landscape planting and maintenance
program. The purchase will include an assortment of plants, flowers, and associated supplies
such as dirt or mulch, and is fully budgeted.
Trustee Oppenheim moved to approve the Resolution waiving the competitive bidding and
authorizing the purchase of landscape plant material from Red’s Garden Center up to the
budgeted amount of $50,000. Trustee Goldstone seconded the motion. The motion passed by the
following vote:
AYES: Benton, Berg, Goldstone, Greenberg, Jacoby, Oppenheim (6)
NAYS: None (0)
RESOLUTION R-25-72 APPROVING AN Mr. Brumm reported the Village owns and
AGREEMENT WITH MILIEU DESIGN maintains more than 27 landscaped locations
LLC FOR LANDSCAPING SERVICES
throughout the community including municipal
buildings. The Village does not maintain a
dedicated Landscape Division; therefore, landscape maintenance services are obtained through
the competitive bid process with qualified contractors.
Three bids were received. The bid specifications requested pricing for both landscape
maintenance services and plant material. Following review, staff determined it was in the best
interest of the Village to award the maintenance portion of the contract to Milieu Design LLC
while continuing to purchase plant material from a third-party supplier. This approach has
provided the Village with both cost efficiency and high-quality service delivery.
Trustee Benton moved to approve the Resolution approving an agreement for a one-year contract
extension with Milieu Design LLC for landscaping services in an amount not to exceed $44,405.
Trustee Goldstone seconded the motion. The motion passed by the following vote:
AYES: Benton, Berg, Goldstone, Greenberg, Jacoby, Oppenheim (6)
NAYS: None (0)
RESOLUTION R-25-73 TO AWARD THE Mr. Brumm reported the Village has been lining
SEWER LINING CONTRACT TO
sewers for more than 20 years. This process utilizes

cured-in-place pipe, essentially creating a new
sanitary sewer without the mess and expense of
conventional replacement methods. In total, over 1,820.51 linear feet of 24-inch sewer, 140
linear feet of 18-inch sewer, and 845 linear feet of 10-inch sewer is planned to be lined as part of
this year's project. The majority of the work this year is focused in the east side interceptor main,
a continuation of the sewer lining from last year. For 2026, staff is planning to line sewer along

Board of Trustees meeting
December 15, 2025
Page 6 of 10
the Middle Fork of the North Branch of the Chicago River in multiple locations, including from
Warwick Road to Landis Lane, and from Deerfield Road to Cody Lane.
The Department of Public Works and Engineering received five bids. All bids received were
responsive and met the project specifications, with Hoerr Construction Inc. submitting the lowest
responsible bid at $268,217. Although the low bid is below the project budget, staff recommends
awarding the full budgeted amount of $450,000. As part of the continued effort to fully restore
the structural integrity of the 24-inch east side interceptor main, staff anticipates taking
advantage of the favorable unit pricing provided by Hoerr Construction Inc. for lining the 24inch sewer. Utilizing this competitive pricing, additional linear footage will be added to the
scope of work for the 2026 project, which includes lining from Shannon Road to the east side
pumping station. Public Works staff have met with contractor representatives to discuss the
additional lining quantities and they are willing to honor the price.
Trustee Greenberg moved to approve the Resolution to award the sewer lining contract to Hoerr
Construction Inc. in an amount not to exceed $450,000. Trustee Oppenheim seconded the
motion. The motion passed by the following vote:
AYES: Benton, Berg, Goldstone, Greenberg, Jacoby, Oppenheim (6)

For fiscal year 2026, the contractor is not requesting a price increase for a one-year extension on
their services.
Trustee Oppenheim moved to approve the Resolution waiving the competitive bidding and
approving the first amendment to the agreement with Advanced Tree Care Inc. for tree and
stump removal service for $75,000. Trustee Goldstone seconded the motion. The motion passed
by the following vote:

APPROVE AN AGREEMENT WITH
ADVANCED TREE CARE, INC. FOR
TREE TRIMMING SERVICES

Mr. Brumm noted the Public Works Department is
responsible for trimming parkway trees for traffic
clearance purposes, to preserve the tree’s health and
appearance, and to prevent possible damage to
human life and property. The Village does not have

Board of Trustees meeting

a dedicated Forestry Division; therefore, bids are
solicited from qualified tree service contractors to perform this function. For fiscal year 2022, the
tree trimming contract was competitively bid and Advanced Tree Care Inc. was the only bidder.
For fiscal year 2023, the tree trimming contract had a one-year extension with no unit price
increase and for fiscal year 2024 had a price increase of 7.1 %. Advanced Tree Care Inc. did not
request a price increase for the fiscal year 2025 contract renewal, and they are not requesting any
increase again for fiscal year 2026.
The Village has established a cycle for the parkway tree trimming program. The Village is
divided into quadrants, with approximately one area to be maintained each year. This winter, a
small portion of the Southwest Quadrant and the Southeast Quadrant are scheduled for
maintenance.
Trustee Oppenheim moved to approve a Resolution waiving the competitive bidding and
approving an agreement with Advanced Tree Care Inc. for tree trimming services for the
budgeted amount of $100,000. Trustee Benton seconded the motion. The motion passed by the
following vote:

when this contract went out to bid in 2023. Patriot Property Services LLC was the lowest
responsible bidder at $39,000. The Village authorized a contract with this firm to complete the
work in 2024, and staff was pleased with the result. The contract allows an extension of their
services for additional years, if it is determined to be beneficial to the Village. In this case, the
contractor performed their work at sufficient level in 2024, and was awarded a 4.5% increase for
services in 2025. Patriot Property Services has proposed a 3% increase for their services in fiscal
year 2026, which staff believes is appropriate for the quality of work they provide.
Trustee Berg moved to approve a Resolution waiving the competitive bidding and award the
contract for turf maintenance to Patriot Properties Services in an amount not to exceed $41,980.
Trustee Greenberg seconded the motion. The motion passed by the following vote:

RESOLUTIONS R-25-77; R-25-78; AND
R-25-79 TO PURCHASE VEHICLES

Mr. Brumm stated, for fiscal year 2026, the Village
has proposed purchasing three pieces of operating

Board of Trustees meeting
December 15, 2025

AND EQUIPMENT

equipment and five motor vehicles through the
Vehicle Equipment Replacement Fund (VERF).

The Village's 2026 equipment and vehicle replacement plan includes the purchase of five motor
vehicles and three pieces of operating equipment essential to maintaining safe, reliable and
efficient Public Works operations. These replacements are consistent with the Village's VERF
schedule and reflect the need to address age-related wear, rising maintenance demands and the
operational requirements of daily field activities. Several purchases are being made through State
and Sourcewell cooperative purchasing contracts, allowing the Village to secure competitively
bid pricing without completing separate formal solicitations. The total combined cost for all
recommended replacements is $399,529.81, while the 2026 budgeted amount is $375,000. The
proposed equipment includes:
• Operating Equipment
(1) Asphalt Trailer
(1) Fleet #250 Bob Cat
(1) Trailer for PW Equipment
• Motor Vehicles
(4) ¾ Ton Pickup Trucks - #603, #700, #703 and #708
(1) ½ Ton Pickup Truck - #605
Trustee Goldstone moved to approve the Resolution approving the purchase of vehicles and
equipment in the total amount of $399,529.81. Trustee Berg seconded the motion. The motion
passed by the following vote:
AYES: Benton, Berg, Goldstone, Greenberg, Jacoby, Oppenheim (6)
NAYS: None (0)

RESOLUTION R-25-80 TO APPROVE
ASSET MANAGEMENT CONTRACT
WITH OPENGOV INC.

Assistant Director of Public Works and
Engineering Tyler Dickinson noted staff is
continually exploring new ways to improve
operations and asset management.

Staff is continually exploring new ways to improve operations, and the asset management/work
system is an area that has been in need of improvement for some time. The current “Request
Tracker” module that is utilized for tracking and reporting Citizen Service Requests (CSRs) is
managed through the Village’s website and was a free addition through the existing Civic Plus
contract. While the current system was an improvement over the previous antiquated system
used by staff, it is rarely used by the public and the decision was made to seek alternatives.
Staff has budgeted to perform the second phase of the implementation in early 2026. The second
phase of the project will integrate the Village’s sanitary sewer and water distribution systems
into the asset management system. This will enable staff to improve infrastructure management
by more efficiently managing, planning, and tracking the sanitary sewers, water pumps,

Board of Trustees meeting

reservoirs and distribution stations. A proposal in the amount of $63,325 has been received from
OpenGov to implement the remaining domains and train the Village staff, with roughly half of
this cost being related to the one-time implementation. It should be noted that the ongoing annual
cost for the above categories is projected around $35,000 in fiscal year 2027.
Mr. Street asked the department to provide a six-month progress report on the software
implementation.
Trustee Greenberg moved to approve a Resolution waiving the competitive bidding and
approving the asset management contract with OpenGov Inc. in the amount of $63,325 with a
staff report in six months. Trustee Goldstone seconded the motion. The motion passed by the
following vote:
AYES: Benton, Berg, Goldstone, Greenberg, Jacoby, Oppenheim (6)
NAYS: None (0)
RESOLUTION R-25-81 WAIVING THE
COMPETITIVE BIDDING AND
APPROVING AN AGREEMENT WITH
S.E. ENTERPRISES SCIARRETTA
ENTERPRISES INC. FOR CLEANING
SERVICES

Assistant Village Manager Justin Keenan noted
the Village hires a contractor to provide janitorial
services. Since 2022, S.E. Enterprises has served as
the Village’s primary cleaning contractor. For
2026, S.E. Enterprises is requesting a 3% increase,
raising the total cost from $82,160 to $84,824, an
additional $2,464. This amount is fully budgeted for
2026. Given S.E. Enterprises’ rate stability over the previous two years, the reasonable nature of
the requested increase, and the Village’s extensive challenges with other cleaning vendors, staff
did not seek additional proposals for this service.
Trustee Berg moved to approve the Resolution waiving the competitive bidding and approving
an agreement with S.E. Enterprises, Sciarretta Enterprises Inc. for cleaning services in the
amount of $84,824. Trustee Benton seconded the motion. The motion passed by the following
vote:
AYES: Benton, Berg, Goldstone, Greenberg, Jacoby, Oppenheim (6)

Subject: Resolution Authorizing A Purchase Order for Biosolids Removal Services By Synagro Central,
LLC
Action Requested: Authorize $100,500 for the Bio-Solids Removal Contract
Originated By: Department of Public Works and Engineering
Referred To: Mayor and Village Board of Trustees
Summary of Background and Reason for Request
The Water Reclamation Facility (WRF) accumulates approximately 2,000 cubic yards of biosolids each
year which must be disposed of in accordance with Illinois Environmental Protection Agency requirements.
The biosolids are accumulated in the storage building as part of normal operations. This year $100,500 has
been budgeted for the removal and beneficial reuse of this product. The storage building is emptied out two
(2) times per year, in the spring and fall. The current contract with Synagro Central, LLC will expire on
December 31st, 2026.
Synagro Central, LLC (formerly Dahm Enterprises, Inc.) provided the lowest bid price ($44.08/cubic yard)
for labor and equipment necessary for the loading, transportation and land application of the material when
this service was formally bid in February of 2024. The first two years of biosolids removal activities of this
contract was conducted successfully and resulted in no resident complaints. Staff looks forward to
completing this semi-annual process in the most efficient and resident friendly manner.
Staff recommends that the Board of Trustees authorize Biosolids Removal Services in an amount not to
exceed $100,500 by Synagro Central, LLC. Brandon Janes, Wastewater Treatment Plant Superintendent,
will be at the meeting to answer any questions.

REQUEST FOR BOARD ACTION

Agenda Item: 26-03

Subject: Resolution Authorizing the Purchase of Biosolids Polymer
Action Requested: Authorize $45,000 for Biosolids Polymer Provided by Solenis LLC
Originated By: Department of Public Works and Engineering
Referred To: Mayor and Village Board of Trustees
Summary of Background and Reason for Request
One of the by-products of the “activated sludge” wastewater treatment process is the production of
biosolids. The Water Reclamation Facility (WRF) accumulates approximately 2,000 cubic yard of biosolids each year which must be disposed of in accordance with Illinois Environmental Protection Agency
requirements. The bio-solids are accumulated in the storage building as part of normal operations.
A certain portion of solids are removed from the biological process to keep the system healthy. These solids
are then further broken down and thickened in the digesters. The final step prior to utilizing this material as
a fertilizer on agricultural fields is dewatering. Dewatering at the WRF consists of adding a polymer to the
liquid sludge and then compacting it in the decanting centrifuge. This process removes more than 90% of
the water and produces a product that is much more economical and efficient to store and transport.
In October of 2024 the WRF conducted jar testing and full-scale testing of polymers in coordination with 4
wastewater polymer suppliers to select the most cost-effective product. As a result, the WRF has been
utilizing a proprietary polymer from Solenis LLC.

Subject: Resolution Approving an Agreement with Strand Associates, Inc. for Design Engineering
Services
Action Requested: Award Contract to Strand Associates, Inc. ($34,200)
Originated By: Department of Public Works and Engineering
Referred To: Mayor and Village Board of Trustees
Summary of Background and Reason for Request
The Water Reclamation Facility was modified in 2011-2012. One aspect of this project was the
addition of a Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system. This system of servers,
computers, software and control panels runs 24/7 collecting data, monitoring equipment, adjusting
valves, gates, blowers and pumps based on actual conditions. This equipment is now standard at water
and wastewater plants as it increases efficiency and allows more flexibility in operation.
As with any piece of equipment at the WRF the SCADA system components require replacement, at or
near the end of their useful life. The replacement of this equipment, and related upgrades prior to
complete failure, will ensure consistent treatment and service to our residents. Our operation and
maintenance manual suggest replacement between 5-7 years. The last replacement occurred in 2018.
Strand Associates assisted WRF staff with the equipment selection in 2025 for this project and a server
replacement in 2024, also necessary for some of the software upgrades that will be included in this
project. Strand Associates designed and has been assisting the Village in the upkeep of our SCADA
system since its inception.
The Department of Public Works and Engineering recommends that the Board of Trustees approve the
Resolution Approving an Agreement with Strand Associates, Inc. for $34,200 for the 2026 Computer
Replacement Project. This project was included in the FY 2026 capital budget. Brandon Janes,

REQUEST FOR BOARD ACTION

Agenda Item: 26-05

Subject: Resolution Waiving Competitive Bidding and Authorizing the Purchase of DEW Pumps from
Drydon Equipment, Inc.
Action Requested: Authorize $64,266 for 2 DEW Pumps Provided by Drydon Equipment, Inc.
Originated By: Department of Public Works and Engineering
Referred To: Mayor and Village Board of Trustees
Summary of Background and Reason for Request
The Water Reclamation Facility (WRF) utilizes treated wastewater to operate certain plant equipment and to
provide heating and cooling for the administration building. The two disinfected effluent water (DEW) pumps
installed as part of the WRF reconstruction project in 2012 have experienced ongoing cavitation issues due to
operating conditions. As a result, the pumps and impellers will require significant rehabilitation. Staff has
determined that continued investment in repairing these pumps is not cost-effective, as they will not operate
efficiently under existing conditions.
To address this issue, staff engaged Strand Associates to review and update the design calculations based on
current field conditions, and to assist in selecting a replacement pump better suited to the system’s operational
needs. The recommended replacement is a Fairbanks 2½-inch Model 1844 pump with a 20-horsepower, 1,800
RPM motor. This pump is manufactured by the same company as the existing units and, while some mechanical
modifications to the piping will be required, it will resolve the ongoing cavitation and maintenance issues.
If approved, the two replacement pumps will be purchased from Drydon Equipment, Inc., the manufacturer’s
authorized representative, at a total cost of $64,266. This amount includes the pumps, startup services, and
shipping.
Staff recommends that the Board of Trustees Approve the Resolution Waiving Competitive Bidding and
Authorizing the Purchase of DEW Pumps from Drydon Equipment, Inc. Funding for this purchase is included
in the FY 2026 budget. Brandon Janes, Wastewater Treatment Plant Superintendent, will be at the meeting to
answer any questions.

INDEMNIFICATION. To the extent permitted by law, each Party shall fully defend, indemnify and

expenses, liability, losses, or damages including attorney’s fees and expenses (“Claims”), whether in law

or part, the negligence, errors, omissions or willful misconduct of the indemnifying party or its officials,
officers, employees, subcontractors, consultants or agents, relating to or connected with performance
under this Agreement, unless Claims are caused wholly by the sole negligence or willful misconduct of
the Indemnified Parties.
A Party’s indemnity obligations under this Section are contingent upon the indemnified party: a) promptly
notifying indemnifying party of each claim; provided, however, that the indemnified party’s failure to give
prompt notice to the indemnifying party of any such claim shall not relieve the indemnifying party of any
obligation under this Section except and to the extent that such failure materially prejudices the
indemnifying party’s ability to defend against such claim; b) providing the indemnifying party with sole
control over the defense and/or settlement thereof, provided however, that indemnifying party shall not
settle any claim that includes an admission of wrongdoing by indemnified parties or otherwise adversely
affects indemnified parties’ interests without prior consent; and c) at the indemnifying party’s request
and expense, providing full information and reasonable assistance to the indemnifying party with respect
to such claim.
8.
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. MGT shall not be held liable for factors outside of its reasonable
control, including losses or damages as a result of Client’s provision of inaccurate data, or changing laws,
regulations, political conditions.
TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW AND EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THIS AGREEMENT,
NEITHER PARTY SHALL BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL OR
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA OR DATA USE, OR LOSS
OR INTERRUPTION OF BUSINESS, ARISING OUT OF ANY OF THE TERMS OR CONDITIONS OF THIS
AGREEMENT OR WITH RESPECT TO ITS PERFORMANCE HEREUNDER, WHETHER ARISING OUT OF

BREACH OF CONTRACT, BREACH OF WARRANTY, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), PRODUCT
LIABILITY, STRICT LIABILITY OR ANY OTHER THEORY. THE FOREGOING LIMITATION OF LIABILITY AND

THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
To the extent permitted by law, except for actions or claims resulting from MGT’s gross negligence or
intentional or willful misconduct, MGT’s total aggregate liability to Client shall be limited to the amount
of compensation paid by Client to MGT under this Agreement in the twelve (12) months prior to the action
giving rise to liability.
9.
GOVERNING LAW, JURISDICTION AND VENUE. This Agreement shall be governed by and
construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Illinois, without regard to its conflict
of laws principles, as to all matters including validity, construction, effect, enforceability, performance,
and remedies. Client irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of any state or federal court located

CONFIDENTIALITY. Each party shall maintain in confidence and protect from unauthorized
disclosure all information exchanged between the Parties that is reasonably understood under the
circumstances to be confidential, whether disclosed orally, in writing or marked as confidential
(“Confidential Information”).
The receiving party shall make all reasonable efforts to protect Confidential Information from disclosure

3
MGT.us

to unauthorized third parties. Confidential Information may be disclosed to third parties with a need-toknow under the circumstances and who are bound by confidentiality obligations no less restrictive than
those herein. Neither party shall use such Confidential Information except in performance of the Services.
MGT may, however, disclose Client’s name and the general nature of MGT’s work for Client sales
proposals.
The above obligations of confidentiality shall not apply to the extent that the receiving party can show
that the relevant information (a) was at the time of receipt already in the receiving party’s possession; (b)
is, or becomes in the future, public knowledge through no fault or omission of the receiving party; (c) was
received from a third-party having the right to disclose; or (d) is required to be disclosed by law.

payment) resulting from circumstances beyond the party’s reasonable control, including but not limited
to fire, flood, earthquake, elements of nature, epidemics, global pandemics, quarantines, acts of God, acts
of war, labor disputes, and supply chain disruptions (“Excusable Delays”). The delayed party shall notify
the other party in writing upon the discovery of any significant Excusable Delay. During an Excusable
Delay, the delayed party shall use reasonable efforts to mitigate costs and damages and to resume
performance under this Agreement.
The Parties recognize that MGT’s ability to timely perform under a SOW is contingent upon Client’s timely
provision of any agreed-upon data, personnel access, or other requirements. If Client’s failure to provide
to such data, access or other requirements causes significant delays to MGT’s progression of Services,
and MGT incurs losses or damages as a result, then the Parties shall negotiate and execute a SOW
amendment for an equitable adjustment to the schedule and for additional costs. MGT shall provide all
substantiating documentation of costs reasonably requested by Client in consideration for any equitable
adjustment. Excusable Delays shall not give rise to an equitable adjustment.
13.
FEES AND PAYMENT. Unless otherwise set forth in a SOW, all correct invoices submitted by MGT
to Client shall be due and payable upon receipt. If Client disputes an invoice or portion thereof in good
faith, then Client shall pay any undisputed portion and provide MGT with written notice of the dispute, in
reasonable detail, and the Parties shall promptly meet to resolve such dispute. MGT reserves the right to
impose an interest charge equal to the lesser of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month or the
maximum allowable by law in respect of any invoice which is outstanding for more than thirty (30) days.
MGT may stop work after sixty (60) days of Client’s non-payment of undisputed invoiced amounts.
14.
MODIFICATION. This Agreement and any SOW shall only be modified by written amendment
signed by the Parties. All signed amendments shall be deemed incorporated into this Agreement by
reference.
15.
NON-SOLICITATION. During the term of this Agreement and for a period of two (2) years
following termination or expiration, neither party shall knowingly, directly or indirectly, solicit nor
encourage the solicitation of any person who is, or was within a 12-month period prior to such solicitation,
an employee of the other party or its affiliates that became known to the other party as a result of this
Agreement, except with the prior written consent of the other party. This provision shall not restrict the
right of either party to solicit by public advertisement.
16.
RECORDING. Client agrees that no meetings, communications, or interactions with MGT or its
representatives shall be recorded, transcribed, or otherwise captured — whether by audio, video, or other
means — without MGT’s prior written consent. This prohibition includes, but is not limited to, the use of
recording devices, transcription software, or any third-party services for documentation purposes. Any
unauthorized recording or transcription shall be deemed a material breach of this Agreement and may
result in immediate termination of services, in addition to any other remedies available to MGT under law
or equity. This section shall not apply to any meetings which are open to the public.

17.
ASSIGNMENT. Neither party may assign any rights nor delegate any duties or obligations under
this Agreement without the express written consent of the other party. Notwithstanding the foregoing,

means and methods for performing the Services. For all purposes, including Medicare, Social Security
taxes, the Federal Unemployment Act (“FUTA”), income tax withholding, worker’s compensation, and
unemployment insurance, MGT, its personnel and contractors will be treated and deemed independent
contractors and not employees of Client.
19.
NON-DISCRIMINATION/EQUAL EMPLOYMENT PRACTICES. Neither party shall unlawfully
discriminate or permit discrimination against any person or group of persons in any matter prohibited by
federal, state, or local laws. During the performance of this Agreement, neither party or their employees,
agents, or subcontractors, if any, shall discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment
because of age, marital status, religion, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, race, creed, color,
national or ethnic origin, medical conditions, physical disability, or any other classifications protected by
local, state, or federal laws or regulations. The parties further agree to be bound by applicable state and

Scope of Work
Project Approach & Methodology
A typical recruitment and selection
process requires a significant investment
of time and effort. A substantial portion of
this involves administrative tasks such as
advertisement placement, reference
checks, and candidate due diligence.
We believe our experience and ability to
professionally administer your recruitment
will provide you with a diverse pool of
highly qualified candidates for your
position search.
Our clients are informed of the progress of
their recruitment throughout the entire
process. We are always available by
mobile phone or email should you have a
question or need information about the
recruitment.

Success Stories
"The coordination by the consultant
helped to alleviate the workload of
internal staff. Consultant was willing
to customize the process based on the
City' s needs ."

PHASE 1 – POSITION ASSESSMENT, ANNOUNCEMENT, & BROCHURE
MGT treats each executive recruitment as a transparent partnership with our client. We believe
in engaging with stakeholders early in each recruitment process to fully understand the
challenges and opportunities inherent in the position. Understanding the organizational culture
is critical to successful recruitment. We gain this insight and information through meetings (one
on one and in small groups), surveys, and a review of relevant information. This information is
reflected in a polished marketing piece that showcases the organization and the area it serves.

INFORMATION GATHERING
•

One-on-one or group interviews with stakeholders identified by the Village.

•

Surveys can be used for department personnel and/or the community to gather
feedback.

•

Conversations/interviews with department heads.

A combination of the items listed above can be used to fully understand community and
organizational needs and expectations for the position.
Development of a POSITION ANNOUNCEMENT to be placed on websites and social media.
Development of a thorough RECRUITMENT BROCHURE for Village review and approval.
Agreement on a detailed RECRUITMENT TIMETABLE – a typical recruitment takes between 90
to 120 days from the time you sign the contract to the appointment of the finalist candidate.

center. Additionally, our weekly jobs listings are sent to over 8,000 subscribers.

SCOPE OF WORK

Our Guarantee – Full Scope Recruitment
MGT is committed to assisting our clients in the selection and appointment of a suitable
candidate. In today’s competitive hiring market, it is critical to move expeditiously to interview
candidates and make key hiring decisions; failure to do so may result in the loss of desirable
candidates. If the client has not responded to multiple requests for decisions and/or guidance
within six weeks of candidates being presented for interview or following finalist interviews,
MGT may choose to cancel the contract and bill the client for work completed to date.
It is MGT’s goal to provide the client with well-qualified candidates for their hiring needs. If the
client rejects the list of qualified candidates and/or fails to negotiate in good faith and comes to
terms with hiring a candidate and instead chooses to readvertise the opportunity, MGT reserves
the right to charge additional consulting fees commensurate with the additional work
requested. If the Client hires more than one candidate introduced by MGT as a result of this
recruitment process during the subsequent twelve-month period, an additional placement fee
equivalent to 50% of the recruitment fee will apply for each additional hire.
Upon appointment of a candidate, MGT provides the following guarantee: should the selected
and appointed candidate, at the request of the Village or the employee’s own determination,
leave the employ of the Village within the first 12 months of appointment, we will, if desired,
conduct one additional recruitment for the cost of expenses and announcements. Reimbursable
expenses may be incurred should the recruitment process require the consultant to travel to the
Village. To engage in this guarantee, the request must be made within thirty days of the
employee’s departure.

HIRING OF ADDITIONAL CANDIDATES
If the Village hires more than one candidate introduced by MGT as a result of this recruitment
process during the subsequent twelve-month period, an additional placement fee equivalent to
50% of the recruitment fee will apply for each additional hire. The guarantee stated above will
only apply to the initial candidate hired by the Village.
