Lake Forest City Council<br />
New city attorney appointed to replace Filippini<br />

Freelance Reporter<br />
After Victor Filippini,<br />
the former Lake Forest<br />
city attorney resigned two<br />
months ago, the Lake Forest<br />
City Council has now<br />
appointed a new city attorney.<br />
Mayor Rob Lansing<br />
first read a resolution of<br />
appreciation for Filippini,<br />
who resigned in April after<br />
serving 18 years as the<br />
city’s attorney.<br />
The City Council then approved<br />
Julie Tappendorf of<br />
Ancel Glink Diamond Bush<br />
DiCianni and Krafthefer as<br />
the new city attorney at its<br />
meeting Monday, June 4.<br />
The appointment is effective<br />
immediately and she<br />
will be present at the next<br />
City Council meeting on<br />
June 18.<br />
“The background of Attorney<br />
Tappendorf and<br />
Ancel Glink and related<br />
material City Council has<br />
reviewed, reference checks<br />
provided and reference<br />
checks pursued independently<br />
revealed a highly capable,<br />
respected and thoroughly<br />
knowledgeable city<br />
attorney,” Lansing said.<br />
The process for appointing<br />
a new city attorney began<br />
two months ago when<br />
Filippini resigned with<br />
the City Council’s legal<br />
committee comprised of<br />
attorneys of which Alderman<br />
Melanie Rummel is a<br />
member.<br />
“The first step was to<br />
have the City Council’s<br />
legal committee develop a<br />
request for proposal for city<br />
attorney legal services,”<br />
Lansing said. “The legal<br />
committee is comprised of<br />
six Lake Forest residents<br />
who are attorneys and includes<br />
Alderman Rummel.<br />
The work of the committee<br />
is to advise the city attorney<br />
and city staff on legal<br />
matters when requested.”<br />
The city received eight<br />
proposals and whittled<br />
that down to three candidates<br />
to interview. After<br />
interviewing the final three<br />
candidates in mid-May,<br />
Tappendorf was chosen.<br />
“The request for proposal<br />
was sent to 13 firms from<br />
which eight proposals were<br />
received,” Lansing said.<br />
“Five firms were eliminated<br />
for various reasons<br />
by the committee, leaving<br />
three strong candidate<br />
firms. These firms were<br />
interviewed on May 14 at<br />
the conclusion of which the<br />
clear consensus choice was<br />
Julie Tappendorf.”<br />
The Gallery Restaurant<br />
approved to outdoor<br />
seating<br />
With summer underway,<br />
The Gallery Restaurant, 202<br />
Wisconsin Ave., will have<br />
outdoor dining on a limited<br />
basis, as approved by the<br />
Lake Forest City Council<br />
on Monday, June 4. Outdoor<br />
dining on the existing<br />
outdoor patio is permitted<br />
to operate only from 5-9<br />
p.m. Tuesday to Thursday<br />
and 5-10 p.m. Friday and<br />
Saturday through Oct. 31,<br />
weather permitting.<br />
In future years, the outdoor<br />
patio will operate<br />
starting May 1 through<br />
Oct. 31. A maximum of 30<br />
restaurant patrons will be<br />
allowed to occupy the patio<br />
at one time. Additional<br />
conditions include that no<br />
outdoor speakers, amplified<br />
music or amplified sound is<br />
permitted, the patio must be<br />
enclosed by a fence, screening<br />
along the west side of<br />
the patio will be enhanced<br />
to serve as a buffer from<br />
the neighboring homes and<br />
sound levels will be periodically<br />
measured within the<br />
adjacent neighborhood to<br />
verify they’re within the acceptable<br />
range for residential<br />
properties.<br />
“It seems to me there is a<br />
lot of support for this restaurant<br />
among people in town,”<br />
Alderman Tim Newman<br />
said. “These restrictions<br />
seem reasonable to me.”<br />
Alderman Jack Reisenberg<br />
concurred and looks<br />
forward to the opening of<br />
outdoor dining at the restaurant.<br />
“This is an absolute<br />
home run for the city,” he<br />
said.<br />
The board also approved<br />
the restaurant’s request to<br />
add a Class A-4 license. The<br />
restaurant’s current license<br />
allows for beer and wine to<br />
be consumed when brought<br />
in by patrons. The additional<br />
license will also allow<br />
for on site packaged sales<br />
and consumption for beer<br />
and wine. The retail sale of<br />
beer and wine in their original<br />
package will be allowed<br />
on the following days and<br />
times: 2-8 p.m. Sunday to<br />
Thursday and 2-9 p.m. Friday<br />
and Saturday.<br />
