The Glen (TIF District) Census (As of June 30,2015) OVERVIEW Below is an overview of The Glen (TIF District) Census project as of October 19, 2015. This overview will include a brief history of the project, an in-depth explanation of how data was collected and an overview ofreceived responses. Historical Background In 1998, the Village of Glenview Board of Trustees approved a Land Use Plan for the Glenview Naval Air Station that closed in 1993. As a key part of the redevelopment of this land, the Village of Glenview ensured revenues from the sale of the land and the property taxes generated from the development would be spent within the community. The property taxes are collected via a Tax Increment Finance District (TIF) that the Village of Glenview established in 1998. The TIF revenue is used to pay for TIF District expenditures, including annual Make-Whole Payments to six core jurisdictions that arc within The Glen TIF District (High School District 225, Glenview School District 34, Northbrook/Glenview School District 30, Glenview Park District, Glenview Public Library and the Village of Glenview). The Make-Whole Payments are based on student enrollment respectively and The Glen resident population. Therefore, the Village of Glenview conducts The Glen TIF Census annually. Historical Process Since project inception, the Village of Glenview contracted out The Glen TIF Census taking and reporting to Ehlers and Associates, an independent financial advisory company, based in Lisle, Illinois. Ehlers was responsible for collecting census responses, arranging and executing door-to- door census taking for homes with no received response, analyzing the data collected, and drafting a final report with the results. In early 2015, Ehlers informed the Village of Glenview that their firm would not be able to complete these services for 2015 and years going forward. 2015 Census Process The Village issued a Request for Proposal process for the services Ehlers had provided, but received no responses. After this process, the Village staff determined that it would be advantageous to perform the census taking in-house while contracting out the reporting function. A Request for Bid was issued and Lauterbach &, Amen, LLP, was selected as the third party vendor. The process the Village followed for the census taking is outlined in the steps listed below: Initial Mailing In early June 2015, the Village of Glenview sent out a letter to all residences within ten subdivisions located in The Glen: Cambridge, Concord, Chapel Crossing, Southgate, Tower Crossing, Aloft Apartments, Glenshore Condos, Patriot Commons, Regency, and Navy Townhomes. The purpose of the letter was to explain the Census taking process, and provide residents the opportunity to complete a Census Reporting Form. This form allowed for residents to report the number of adults and children within their homes, designate their children's ages 1
