Strategic Plan

Total Projects per Division 15 Administration

Mount Prospect’s Department of Public Works has developed a Strategic Plan to establish realistic expectations and also act as a blueprint for the Public Works operations. The overall goals and objectives of the plan drive the programs and new work initiatives the department spearheads each year. It allows employees to be more effective, efficient, and creative in daily operations. In effect, the plan has proven to be a successful tool that outlines the implementation process and highlights the milestones established to track and monitor progress for major projects, programs, and key initiatives for each division of Public Works. With this intention, it guides employee actions, determines resource allocation, and stimulates meaningful collaboration across the organization. Working with the plan, the Village is able to monitor and track performance on a quarterly basis. As a result, schedules are reviewed and necessary revisions of the plans are implemented to ensure that innovative thinking remains a continuous effort. The plan is shared with all employees and also made public on a yearly basis.

Director’s Message

As I ponder the events of 2019, it is springtime outside my window and the calendar has crept into 2020. Our department, indeed all humanity, is now caught in the throes of an unforeseen worldwide viral pandemic. I, like others, find myself a little anxious and perpetually six feet away from everything.

Although scary, our current predicament offers a unique lens to review the past and imagine the future.

In other words, there’s nothing quite like a crisis to help you focus.

Today, it’s easy to realize that family, friends, and the work you do, are invariably key elements in a fulfilled life. If you’re lucky, the work you do not only helps provide for your family and home; it is also important and purposeful. We are lucky.

T

he 2019 Public Works Department Annual Report is replete with examples of our intrepid crews performing essential work throughout the community. Some of these efforts resulted in notable recognition. For example, the department received the 2019 Sustainability Partnership Game Changer award from the National Waste & Recycling Association for its myriad solid waste and recycling programs that diverted 35% of residents’ waste stream from landfills in 2018.

Finally, and without a doubt most importantly, the Public Works Department was honored at year-end with notice that we were the recipient of the 2019 Unsung Hero award. This recognition is bestowed by the Mount Prospect Special Events Commission. An organization comprised of those we serve. It is an award intended to fete those who contribute to the greater good while “flying below the radar”. A sensibility we strive to embody.

In my opinion, there could be no more affecting honor.

The department was also awarded the 2019 Water Saver Utility Award from the American Water Works Association (AWWA). This award is international recognition for the exceptional efforts made by our Public Works crews operating, maintaining, and improving the Village-owed potable water distribution system. In particular, the Village of Mount Prospect was recognized for poignant, sustained efforts to decrease water loss and replace aging infrastructure.

The credit for the success of these and myriad programs that you will learn about in this annual report goes to the incredibly dedicated, skilled, and resourceful employees of the Mount Prospect Public Works Department. I am grateful to know them and be counted among their company.

Our vehicle maintenance staff also received the coveted Blue Seal of Excellence from the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE). This award recognizes the exceptional skill, knowledge, training, and experience of our vehicle maintenance technicians.

Awards/Grants AWARDS

National Waste & Recycling Association – Sustainability Partnership Game Changer Award The Mount Prospect Public Works Department was awarded the 2019 Sustainability Partnership Game Changer Award by the National Waste & Recycling Association (NWRA). The award was shared with the Solid Waste Agency of Northern Cook County (SWANCC), and recognized the Village and SWANCC for their efforts in sustainability and recycling. Mount Prospect has been a member of SWANCC for 30 years, with SWANCC providing Mount Prospect with a range of waste management services. Through this partnership, Mount Prospect has been able to grow the recycling services it provides residents, allowing them to successfully divert 35% of residents’ waste from landfills.

American Water Works Association – Water Saver Utility Award Mount Prospect received the Utility Water Saver Award from the Illinois Section of the American Water Works Association Water Efficiency Committee. The committee looks for the best and brightest innovations, programs, and ideas to conserve and protect our most precious commodity-water. The Village was recognized for automated metering for multifamily housing, sustaining the system, and repairing and replacing inefficient infrastructure.

Wisconsin Community Media – Award of Excellence for FAQ Mount Prospect Organics Program – How to/Instructional Professional Our Organics Recycling Program recently expanded allowing several new collections. In order to better assist everyone, we reached out to the Village’s Communication Services team to create a FAQ video. The video was so well made and liked that the Communication Division entered it into a competition called The Best of the Midwest Media Fest sponsored by Wisconsin Community Media. Entries were judged on either a professional or amateur level.

Community media managers also recognized a Significant Community Program that has had a substantial impact on a community. Three winners were chosen in all including the Village of Mount Prospect’s video. Take a look for yourself! (https://youtu.be/GS3uoTwVyRk)

Community Rating System (CRS) Class 6 Designation The Village maintains a CRS Class 6 designation. Due to the staff’s floodplain management, the classification results in a 20% flood insurance premium discount for property owners in the floodplain and a 10% discount for property owners outside the floodplain.

2019 Tree City USA Recognition For the 36th year, the Forestry & Grounds Division accepted the Tree City USA Recognition Award during our Arbor Day Celebration in April. National recognition for this award is granted to a community for their efforts in proper tree management and care. The Tree City USA Award was issued to the Village of Mount Prospect from the Arbor Day Foundation in compliance with the Tree City USA standards which are based on an assurance of proficient management of our urban forest.

Mount Prospect cherishes its urban forest of approximately 24,500 trees. The Village strives to protect and diversify the urban forest for future generations to enjoy.

ASE Blue Seal of Excellence The Mount Prospect Public Works Vehicle Maintenance Division recently obtained the Blue Seal of Excellence through the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE).

The ASE Blue Seal Program is a leading automotive industry standard recognizing that a minimum of 75% of the technicians performing diagnosis and repairs are ASE Certified and each area of service offered in the shop is covered by at least one ASE Certified Technician. The Vehicle Maintenance Division exceeds this standard with six Master Certified ASE Truck Technicians, four Master Auto ASE Technicians, one Advanced ASE Level Diagnostics Specialist, and one ASE Parts Specialist. This is no small feat. To become ASE certified, technicians are required to pass exams testing their experience and familiarity in a variety of categories and series. Gaining this credential not only recognizes their knowledge and expertise, it also distinguishes the quality of work and reputation of valued industry standards at the Village.

In Design The Village recognizes the need to successfully grow and develop an economically sound community.

Because of our focus on improving the overall quality of life and ability to support businesses in creative and innovative ways, the Village of Mount Prospect is experiencing the redevelopment of several key commercial corridors. These plans are facilitated by the strategic and forward-thinking mindset of its leaders. With reinvestment downtown, there are several development activities taking place with residential and commercial transit-oriented projects taking shape. Additionally, there is a demand for industrial and commercial space in south Mount Prospect and in Kensington Business Center. We want to appeal to the influx of millennials, generation z, and baby boomers transitioning to rentals from single family homes by providing increased housing options. Mount Prospect is generating excitement as these developments materialize. The transformational period is happening now. Take a look at what is in design:

Downtown Economic Development experienced private sector investment of $160 million.

Projects included: • 20 West mixed use project (85 residential units) • Construction is underway at the 10 North project at Central Road and Main Street, and the Maple Street Lofts mixed use development.

• In total, 500 new residential units will be added in the downtown.

• The Edwin and Else Meyn Busse Pocket Park on Emerson Street (completion expected in the spring of 2020).

20 West

• Senior housing developments – St. Johns property on Linneman Road (90 units) and Perlmark independent living facility on Kensington Road (73 units) • Mount Prospect Pointe retail center on the Rand Road corridor, which includes Buona Beef, Texas Roadhouse, and the Tile Shop.

• Progress on the new Police and Fire Station Headquarters will allow both departments to relocate to their new, modern facilities in spring of 2020, providing the opportunity for the potential redevelopment of a key site within the downtown (Block 56).
