The Glen (TIF District) Census (As of June 30, 2013) OVERVIEW Ehlers and Associates, Inc. was hired by the Village of Glenview to conduct an annual census of residents living within the boundaries of the Tax Increment Finance district of The Glen (the former Glenview Naval Air Station). The purpose of the census is to enable the Village to use the data to calculate annual payments to certain core jurisdictions providing services to these residents. Ehlers and Associates, Inc. met with Village staff in early May, 2013 to discuss the project in detail. The Village of Glenview provided our offices with data about The Glen that was compiled from their own database and from developers. After compiling the data, Ehlers identified 2,137 homes of which 2,025 were occupied residences that would be included in the Census canvass. The residences that were targeted are located in 13 development areas of The Glen: Chapel Crossing at The Glen, Concord at The Glen, Southgate on The Glen, Cambridge at The Glen, Tower Crossing at The Glen, Vi at The Glen (formerly Classic Residence by Hyatt at The Glen), Chestnut Square at The Glen, Thomas Place, Aloft at The Glen Town Center, Glenshore Condos, Patriot Commons at The Glen, Regency at the Glen, and Navy town homes (only those located on Buccaneer Drive constructed after 1994). The 34 short-term lease apartments in the Aloft Apartments were counted as vacant and, therefore, not included in the “adjusted totals” calculations. The Toll Brothers project called Patriot Commons at The Glen is still under construction having 68 homes built as of June 30, 2013. A new subdivision by Pulte called Regency at the Glen is under construction having 62 homes built as of June 30, 2013. On June 3, 2013, Glenview mailed each of the targeted residences a letter from the Deputy Village Manager of the Village of Glenview. The intent of the letter was to explain to residents the purpose and process for the upcoming Census canvassing that would occur within The Glen. Also included with this letter was a copy of the Census Reporting Form. This allowed the residents to see the questions that would be asked and also allowed them to complete the form prior to the arrival of the Census Recorders, which would occur the weekend of July 13th. A stamped, return envelope was included for their convenience. We also allowed residents the option of calling or faxing the Ehlers office or communicating electronically through the Village website to report their data. We kept the Glenview Police Department apprised of our actions and followed the municipal guidelines for collecting the Census data. On Saturday, July 13 and Sunday, July 14, 2013, Census Recorders successfully completed the initial canvassing of residences who had not responded to the June 3, 2013 mailing. After additional attempts to obtain information from those residences that were not available to provide information on these days, a copy of the Census Reporting Form was left at their door. The form asked the resident to complete the form and return it by August 1st for tabulation. The follow-up door-to-door visits resumed on Saturday, July 20 and Sunday, July 21, 2013. We specified a deadline of August 1st to submit responses to be included in the census count. Of the 2,025 occupied residences, 190 didn’t reply and 6 refused after the numerous attempts to obtain data. This calculates to 90.3% of the residences responding and 9.7% that did not reply/refused. 1
