Trustee/Director of Public Works (Trustee Lambert) presented the procurement and said there are two price options. He told the board that roughly $320,000 of grant funding is available for the project and that the proposed charging‑station locations fall inside a TIF (tax increment financing) district, meaning TIF dollars could be used for part of the cost. The motion presented to the board reflected the lower‑cost alternate bid.

The board approved a resolution to waive formal bidding and accept scheduled pricing from Powerlink Electric LLC and to issue purchase order number 26‑00562 in the amount cited in the contract for the selected option. Trustees voting in favor included Lambert, Schwenk, Lugosti, Rico, Perez and Kritzke; the motion passed.

Several trustees said they preferred the less costly option because they could not justify paying roughly $200,000 more at this time for the higher‑capacity stations. Trustees also noted that both options would be partially funded by the grant and that the life of the TIF district makes the TIF a feasible funding source.

Lambert said staff will move forward with contract execution and installation per the selected option and will manage grant reimbursement and TIF accounting as required.

The board’s choice will determine charger capabilities and charging speeds; staff said the higher option would have provided faster charging but carried a materially higher upfront cost.","The board authorized a contract with Powerlink Electric LLC for EV chargers and installation, selecting the lower‑cost option after discussion; staff said $320,000 in grant funds is available and the remaining cost can be covered by TIF funds.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6020080,"Economic Development Commission proposes seasonal ‘pop‑up’ shop incubator; board directs staff to form working group",1908,1626130,3534960,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5769811-3c8c7b1d70075ff58052afecdb28ec2b&start=1626&end=3534","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5769811-3c8c7b1d70075ff58052afecdb28ec2b/thumbnail_1626130.jpg","/articles/6020080/Illinois/Economic-Development-Commission-proposes-seasonal-popup-shop-incubator-board-directs-staff-to-form-working-group","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6020080-3e7269767f09ce8b8f074fbce00521e2/orig.mp4?Expires=1771180190&Signature=Lm1hck8A7NOozAbCyOaMZw9fulvUF6J59Tx5JRcs5t7MIG8OqNQdxqWgcEEDD0fRmzBJbNV12cBLIaFuNLEt~B7-bVEfbovkRz6MVLQ~VrPPGfdudmZMwq6ZMBA1dM7flpv0ZxrGQcHwZvYmO2oDnZuwWdRpsBCVrqVXz5GunhTd8SYtRT2rc8hCAc90CYcdHXZ5H7lTeMUrUxSrzzSPvGKYPGLgtOGIRDy5xOlQthAH5Ah4CTMltZZxcmPblaEhzdIkxSSoUF61YGtU~BVVTen3mtSQE35jE2Kmw0wojFVhXKsj75o48uWgwDjjKsmvB0EdNMIwCuEmpHq-i7FaLA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Ed Strepp, a member of Mundelein’s Economic Development Commission, urged the Village Board on Sept. 8 to pursue a seasonal “pop‑up” shop incubator — small, rentable retail units that operate as a marketplace and business incubator during higher‑traffic months. Strepp said the model has helped nearby towns grow downtown retail and recommended forming a working group to study feasibility, design and fundraising.

Strepp described how the model operates in other communities: 12‑by‑12 retail shelters open Friday through Sunday from May through December; entrepreneurs rent a space for the season and often use the opportunity to test a brick‑and‑mortar concept. He said Batavia’s program charged about $3,000 per season and that, over its first five years, 28 participating shops moved into permanent downtown storefronts. McHenry’s program opened more recently — Strepp said seven shops had graduated to brick‑and‑mortar in its first two years and that McHenry’s booths generated roughly $625,000 in revenue last year.

Strepp urged the board to appoint an 8–10‑person working group to produce designs, fundraising plans and operating policies. He estimated a rough development cost between $1 million and $1.5 million for a 10‑unit site and suggested a modest startup budget (he suggested $10,000) to pay for refined designs, printed materials and possible consultant services to recruit vendors. Strepp said most peer programs relied heavily on donations and volunteer labor; Batavia used a small grant (about $100,000) plus donations, while McHenry was funded primarily by donations.

Trustees and staff asked practical questions about infrastructure and long‑term outcomes. Strepp said the sheds typically have electricity but not running water; in park locations the park district supplies restrooms, while non‑park sites commonly rely on porta‑potties or agreements with nearby businesses. Trustees also raised concerns about whether Mundelein has available permanent retail space for incubator graduates to move into — a risk Strepp acknowledged and said the working group should study.

After discussion, trustees directed staff to form a working group and to return at a future meeting with parameters and a budget request (village staff noted budget season is approaching, so the request could be considered during budgeting). Strepp said the group would solicit input from local partners including community groups and business organizations if the board approves the effort.

Strepp left the board with specific operational suggestions he observed in other towns: cohort‑based training for vendors (marketing, finance, web presence), a named program director to run recruitment and operations, use of local construction programs for buildout and fundraising outreach to local philanthropy and regional tourism partners.","An Economic Development Commission member proposed a seasonal micro‑retail incubator modeled on Batavia and McHenry; the board gave staff direction to form a working group to study feasibility, fundraising and location and return with recommendations.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6020085,"Mundelein publishes Ivanhoe Village development web page to centralize project materials",475,1054015,1529275,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5769811-3c8c7b1d70075ff58052afecdb28ec2b&start=1054&end=1529","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5769811-3c8c7b1d70075ff58052afecdb28ec2b/thumbnail_1054015.jpg","/articles/6020085/Illinois/Mundelein-publishes-Ivanhoe-Village-development-web-page-to-centralize-project-materials","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6020085-350246e933f89e9951f9a1db46256c75/orig.mp4?Expires=1771180190&Signature=a5aBSU~jFb6WMZRJXApJe-rSB-I53Kuk82Spu~Gp1zwZpjEys0A0k~OyyuoJKuDTMsYdRVvktZud2cwnG4sPaRu~jEPJx-vpY5l3PiMVwOkYHD0BRtPDy0x0o-4Rrh-TC0C9ImzXDge6J8xu52zgtQzNL2o-cwv9w91ZxzE-gl4vVz3houZO2iAq3PN39JGSV8qidfw6tn8THQP-OJSfL1MKQ4iCCjkjlAVOo15z5EBluYWw~d9dNHy~RrM8ABYy~G0rEdxxKHk84zFD1t5XGRHqG3W6GizwGY0DuQpzX8OMh3E56Q9EzFggOlfpUVaOep6jcwuyA2YzJNL7dm8xxA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Village of Mundelein on Monday unveiled a new web page that centralizes public information about the proposed Ivanhoe Village development, staff told the board. Amanda Rencheck, a village staff director, presented the page and said it is live on the village website.

Village staff said the page gathers background material and project documents in one place so residents, taxing districts and board members can follow updates. Rencheck said the page includes a “last updated” date, links to presentations and videos from prior village and planning‑commission meetings, comparable projects by the development team’s land planner, concept art and maps showing how the site falls inside local taxing districts.

The page lists examples of comparable work by the land planner (DPZ CoDesign) and links to the developer’s own project site, Rencheck said. She described pages that summarize the project overview, the review process a petitioner typically follows with the village, and a section of meeting materials that links directly to agendas, presentation slides and video archives. Rencheck stressed the site is intended as a long‑running resource and that official meeting dates and agendas remain posted in the village’s Agenda & Meetings section.

Rencheck noted the village will update the concept art and site plans as new material becomes available. She also emphasized that the standalone Ivanhoe page is not a substitute for the village’s official agenda postings: “If you want the official meeting time and date, go to the village agenda and meetings section,” she said.

The site is accessible now at mungeline.org under the Community menu (the Ivanhoe page is labelled Ivanhoe Village Development Activity). Village staff encouraged residents with questions to contact staff directly.

The presentation included an offer to maintain the page throughout the life of the project so timelines and documents remain available as the proposal progresses through annexation, planning review and any subsequent entitlements or amendments.","Village staff rolled out a dedicated web page for the Ivanhoe Village development with project background, concept art, taxing‑district maps and links to meeting materials; the page is live and intended as a long‑term public resource, staff said.","actionData","errors"]
