Committee members had no public opposition at the hearing and voted to place the item on the consent agenda. The committee chair called for a vote and the motion carried; the item was included on the meeting’s consent agenda for final approval.

Staff presented an RFP process that produced four proposals and recommended SEM, saying the principal event partner from prior years remains involved even though the company name changed. Staff estimated a 20–30% reduction in contractual costs compared with last year, citing a lower management fee, sponsorship-sharing arrangements and SEM’s warehouse of equipment that reduces rental expenses. Staff also said SEM’s proposal includes profit sharing on liquor sales; however, the village noted that any street-closure permits, event dates and liquor approvals will be considered in subsequent agenda items.

Council members asked whether SEM would be asked to review the event’s overall format and seek additional savings; staff said SEM “is full of ideas” and that the village can accept or decline suggested changes. Street Fest will mark its 25th year in August, staff said.

The motion to contract with SEM passed at committee and was placed on the consent agenda for the council’s approval.","Village staff recommended and council approved a contract with Chicago Special Events Manager to manage the 2025 Palatine Street Fest after an RFP; staff expects 20–30% cost savings versus last year and said street-closure and liquor approvals will be handled later.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6098155,"Palatine approves two-year extension for parkway tree trimming contract",98,1430000,1528000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2824876-52e24d3e86d80178d5d102cc9be0d4e7&start=1430&end=1528","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2824876-52e24d3e86d80178d5d102cc9be0d4e7/thumbnail_1430000.jpg","/articles/6098155/Palatine/Cook-County/Illinois/Palatine-approves-two-year-extension-for-parkway-tree-trimming-contract","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6098155-7d4f0591988faebcc726274974aa01e2/orig.mp4?Expires=1771168533&Signature=i4Bzsk7oHnHp1kVEdFNS05aY~pMfVC0HdWj8W9Ya56iFbi1Qx~CeOJ~r-~qnLi7HaXRCoAAsrr9qBo5sm86CWmPA0JqSOCLN-7rjivq6IQMBTcKeu3Hy~5Vkcqdx4Jhs-9Qv1VIZLKkGhJentJMxyvTAc6yFzk0T~PJcQZ8TIUkfFAJznEEiJTAdDBalnpICqEpQN~KwlykdhuFfX8pElaRoiMkj-cqeOSF980usVzWHn7VSrJ~bgMywwWIc635fHmpS5DOcwMG9uuAevv7jEoJOQjsYN0sDDDafP3U5-gbwEDoLm-DiEEsxlqL6IPZYQsinjZxVdKvbLxnbHI9O~A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Infrastructure and Environment Committee recommended, and the council approved, a two-year extension of the village’s parkway tree-trimming contract for the 2025–2026 period.

Staff said the current contractor has performed well and offered to extend the contract at no increase in price. The contract was procured through the Municipal Partnering Initiative, and staff recommended continuation. The village’s operating budget will fund the work; staff identified the maintenance budget at just over $131,000.

The scope described to the committee covers parkways within a boundary roughly bounded by Rolling Road, Dundee Road, Hicks Road and the railroad tracks. Council members asked whether the contract included management of silver maples; staff clarified the extension covers trimming only and that removals and replanting would be managed under a separate process.

A vote in committee and then in the council approved the extension. Staff indicated the contractor agreed to the two-year extension with no increase in costs.","Council’s Infrastructure and Environment Committee approved a two-year extension of the village’s parkway tree-trimming contract with no price increase; work will be funded from the operating budget and covers a defined area near the railroad tracks.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":91,"_47":104,"_49":105,"_51":106,"_53":107,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":108,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":109,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6098160,"Palatine council and committee deny special-use permit for banquet facility at Park Place shopping center",1228,202000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2824876-52e24d3e86d80178d5d102cc9be0d4e7&start=202&end=1430","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2824876-52e24d3e86d80178d5d102cc9be0d4e7/thumbnail_202000.jpg","/articles/6098160/Palatine/Cook-County/Illinois/Palatine-council-and-committee-deny-special-use-permit-for-banquet-facility-at-Park-Place-shopping-center","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6098160-549fd717a32484535e46d9515406a240/orig.mp4?Expires=1771168533&Signature=dnGjtTLYwHxAhN2hX64lcbv0cnbJ384pzS9p2jrz02N0UJeZDMcK4JoFZE9SmVWb~hpyuI9q3NMamhpjqqa8EyGqZdLubjlEuwEv8axfWqW05zONyZMudilgvCW~G1Lv8xXVdMf7NkBatP1LUJvtTzfajcTN-mPICg2MTafTLt6o24hXrxgGp8OaJ0nx73xE0QAfFwzPwmYJIyPHoRthK37i27cnDrAfdaY~TtBt77Tzo4RySvFnykGFLJdRhGqdbLsfvbDEAGGG-kFKJzQ3rxjGW5Pzbx9gD0oSNCR~IWa4MocoWUd9TczkR8nMJxyoiFsXinq-aAqqmpFy-YjadA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Village of Palatine’s Police Policy and Code Services Committee and later the full Village Council voted down a petition to permit a banquet facility at 1185 East Dundee Road in the Park Place shopping center.

The committee considered a motion to approve the special use during its meeting; following testimony from the applicant and the property owner, the committee’s motion failed and the item was reported out to the council as having come from committee “with a 5–0 vote against.” At the council meeting, a motion to approve the special use failed on roll call, leaving the request denied.

The petitioners — operator Carmelo Martinez and landlord Corey Bruce — told the committee the proposed space would be rented primarily to private groups; they said alcohol would not be permitted, the operator would hire an event manager and dedicated security staff, and the site would be monitored with cameras. Martinez said the business model is “I rent only the space” and that he tells customers “you cannot bring the alcohol,” adding that he informed tenants that alcohol would lead to complaints and potential closure. Bruce, the property owner, said the space would be used for private parties such as birthdays and graduations and that the use could help co-tenants and reduce plaza vacancy.

Staff and several council members said the center’s plan raised enforcement and public-safety questions. A staff planner noted the applicant initially requested operating hours to 2 a.m. but amended that to 8 a.m.–11 p.m., and that the zoning ordinance’s banquet use typically assumes food service and operator control — neither of which would occur under the petitioners’ model. The planner also said staff recommended denial, while the Palatine Planning and Zoning Commission had recommended approval by a 6–1 vote.

Council members expressed concern about the village’s ability to monitor events where food or paid admission could be brought in by outside vendors or where members of the public might attend. “What you’re renting to is somebody who’s gonna use that space from whatever time to whatever time... The only parameters in your petition ... is that you wouldn’t allow alcohol,” a council member said, adding that other operational limits were not specified in the petition. Questions raised included how the village would police off-site vendors, admissions, and unpermitted alcohol if guests brought it.

Martinez told the committee he planned modest pricing to keep the space affordable; he discussed an initial investment estimate of about $50,000 and said he hoped eventually to grow revenue. The landlord said the center is receiving new investment, including a large grocery tenant and facade work, and he argued the banquet use could support co-tenants.

The committee voted the item down; the council later took a roll-call vote and rejected the motion to approve. No amendments or alternate conditions were adopted. The petition remains denied.

The discussion occurred during the Police Policy and Code Services Committee meeting and was reported to the council. Future applications or revised petitions would require a new filing and review under the village’s zoning process.","The Village Council and its Police Policy and Code Services Committee rejected a special-use request to operate a nonalcoholic banquet facility at 1185 E.
