Pennies from Heaven Fundraiser -Update Ms. Spies updated the committee on the collection from this event. The funds were turned over to the food pantry to assist in the Thanksgiving dinner costs. i 2, Optimist Club Toy Drive- November 24, 2009 Chairperson Gengler informed the group that the Optimist Club was hosting a toy drive on November 24, 2009. The event will be held at the Kendall Pub and food will be provided. 3. Holiday Under The Stars Ms. Spies reported that she is not in need of anything at this time, however, she may need additional volunteers if someone doesn't show up or gets ill. Chairperson Gengler reported that the Optimist Club is in need of 1 volunteer. Ms. Spies also reported that she coordinate the horse and carriage rides and will provide information for that event. 2 volunteers are needed at that station at all times. It is hopeful that there will be a nice turnout. Radio advertisement has been done. Hopefully with the nice weather and the earlier date, this event will be a success. Chairperson Gengler will pick up the mitten drive boxes from the businesses the week after Thanksgiving. Committeeman Slocum delivered 10 boxes to locations where there are a lot of employees or places that people are likely to return regularly. OLD BUSINESS 1. Historical Street Naming Program - Discussion Chairperson Gengler stated that everyone received the paperwork regarding the names that have been submitted for approval. He has gone through 1/2 of the paperwork and found some that he is recommending for approval. Committeeman Slocum stated that she felt that Jennifer was looking for guidelines and structure, such as what criteria needs to be met, what impact did they make and what significance did it have on the community. Committeeman Harker stated that many entries came from Elmer Dixon and they date back to people in the 1830's. She doesn't feel they are significant, even to the older generation. It was determined that the group would go through the names and see which ones meet the established criteria. Commissioner Westlund asked how many names were on the list. She will receive a copy of the packet everyone is working on. She suggests that everyone rate the people on the list, then decide if they are in agreement. Commissioner Slocum feels that since there is such a wide variety of names on the list that the application needs to be more specific. Chairperson Gengler stated that the application can be changed in the future. Commissioner Westlund suggested numbering the list of criteria and see how many each submission meets. Minute Taker Hartigan suggested starting at the 3rd bullet through the next 4, the remaining are not criteria. Chairperson Gengler asked the group to keep going through the packet and see which criteria items apply, then return to the next meeting for additional discussion. 2. Activities for Disabled Persons - Discussion There was previous discussion regarding this matter in that a resident is wanting to get together a group for social interaction within the Yorkville area. Previously, the 2 Fox Valley Special Recreation Association was mentioned. We are looking to possibly form a group for disabled persons, are there any ideas? Mayor Burd explained that the person suggesting this is the parent of a disabled young adult. Her son misses social interaction. They have tried on their own to get together a group of people to meet in the park, etc. but their attempts have been unsuccessful. It was suggested that the group contact Rush Copley or local therapists to try to gather a list of people that a program would be beneficial to. It was suggested that the committee organize events. One suggestion was a wheelchair basketball game at the Rec Center. As such, Ms. Spies will invite Sue Swithin to the next meeting. Mayor Burd stated to explain to Ms. Swithin that there is a need for more programs for special needs children. it can be expensive, but we need to figure out how to offer these programs or how to expand on the FVSRA programs and bring them to the Yorkville area. Ms. Spies added that if a resident from Yorkville needs to attend a class through FVSRA, we try to find ways to subsidize the non-resident fees. Sgt. Groesch stated that most people socialize through their occupations. He is aware of an organization in Sandwich that helps to find jobs for disabled persons. Committeeman Knutson stated that the individual is on the library board. This item will move to next agenda for discussion. Additionally, Ms. Swithin will be invited to the discussion. 3. Government Day- Update/Discussion Chairperson Gengler reported that he has not spoken with Mr. Dunn recently, but it appears the event will be held here in May. Commissioner Slocum suggested returning this item for discussion in the spring. Chairperson Gengler stated that we would need to come up with a rough draft of what we would like to take place that day, including holding the event on a Tuesday and allowing the students to participate in the City Council Meeting. Previously it was suggested that the students hold a mock election prior to coming here. Chairperson Gengler suggested that include department head positions. Mayor Burd suggested that someone be a representative from the newspapers and other should be concerned or unhappy citizens. This item will return to the agenda in the spring. ITEMS FOR NEXT MEETING AGENDA: Chairperson Gengler suggested not holding a December meeting and having the next meeting on January 20, 2010. Commissioner Slocum motioned to move the next meeting to January 20, 2010 at 6:30pm, Commissioner Knutson seconded the motion. 3 ADDITIONAL DISCUSSION With regards to the Volunteer Appreciation Day, Mayor Burd felt it went well. Chairperson Gengler stated that he is worried about not getting more nominations next year, however, he felt that the library was an ideal place. Ms. Spies stated that he feels that more nomination are needed. Commissioner Harker stated that she loved the high school boys choir. Chairperson Gengler added that he thought it was nice to have a caterer there. Ms. Spies stated that the cost was 75% less than the cost the past several years. Committeeman Harker felt that The Record could have done a little more coverage than they did. Mayor Burd stated that the school teachers would have like to have come. Ms. Spies stated that next year all the nominees names should be read. Chairperson Gengler recognized Ms. Spies for the work she did in organizing the event and congratulated Committeeman Harker for winning. Mayor Burd recognized the fact that the City won the Hometown Award. She suggests bringing the brochure to the next meeting so that people can see what ideas the other communities had. Mayor Burd stated that there is a good possibility that the City will be getting the old Kendall County jail to create a museum. In order to explain how the old jail operated, a committee will be set up. She feels that it would be fun for this committee to get involved in that. Additionally, museum ideas are needed. The jail had 6 cells. The county gave the stairs away so those need to be rebuilt and the roof needs repair. The garage will be removed and IDOT will build a parking lot adjacent to Van Emmon. The blue prints are still available. There is a lot of history there. In fact, the sheriffs wives used to cook for the prisoners. In 2003, the state designated the facility as one of 10 most endangered buildings. Commissioners Slocum and Westlund will be in attendance on Thursday for the Studs Turkel Award. ADJOURNMENT OF THE HUMAN RESOURCES COMMISSION: The meeting adjourned at 7:53 pm. Minutes respectfully submitted by Margaret M.

CALL TO ORDER: The meeting was called to order at 6:29 pm. ESTABLISH A QUORUM: PRESENT: Chairperson Gengler, Commissioners Joan Knutson, Jill Harker ABSENT: Commissioner Cross, Slocum, Westlund ALSO PRESENT: Glory Spies—Community Relations Director, Sue Swithin - Recreation Department As there was not a quorum, this meeting continued with discussion only. NEW BUSINESS 1. Events for Young Adults with Disabilities - Discussion with Sue Swithin Ms. Swithin stated the following: • There are currently no separate programs available through the Recreation Department for people with disabilities, however, they share in the co-op with Fox Valley Special Recreation Association. • This is something that needs to be considered as Yorkville continues to grow. • She recently hired a person who has therapeutic recreation certification. This employee can be utilized. Her position is full-time coordinator. • There are some pieces of equipment available at the Rec Center that could be utilized by persons with disabilities. So, we can work on programs that are either 1 on 1 or we can work with FVSRA to develop a program. Chairperson Gengler asked if the population is there to develop the programs. Ms. Swithin stated that a survey hasn't been done in a few years, but past surveys where this item was addressed always rated extremely low. However,the survey is also sent only to those within the Yorkville city limits. Ms. Spies informed Ms. Swithin that the reason we are looking into this is that a resident carne forward who has a 20 year disabled son. They are looking for ways for him to meet people that he can relate to because he is having a hard time connecting with people. This committee was thinking about a special event at the Rec Center. 1 We could start with 1 event to see how it goes, then maybe hold one every quarter. A suggestion we have is wheelchair basketball. Ms. Swithin stated that she would like to personally speak with the resident to see what can be done to cater to this situation. Additionally, she suggested holding an entire evening at the Rec Center that encompasses many different disabilities. She stated she would like some time to look into this matter more carefully and try to determine who needs to be served and what things are needed. She also suggested a meet and greet event or a craft event. Ms. Spies stated that the important factor here is the social aspect. Ms. Swithin stated that a person with mild Down Syndrome might enjoy sitting at a table working on something rather than a physical event. She would like to be able to entertain as many people as she can in one event. Commissioner Knutson stated that there are kids locally who participate in Special Olympics. Ms. Swithin stated that she has a contact at Kendall County Special Olympics and that they would probably enjoy getting involved in this. She will start working with them, FVSRA and her staff to get ideas. Ms. Spies will contact the resident and let her know that she is going to forward her contact information to Ms. Swithin. 2. Association for Individual Development Telethon - Discussion Ms. Spies stated that AID will be holding there annual telethon on March 6. 2010 and is looking for volunteers. She suggests this committee put together a group for volunteers for the event. Volunteers are asked to answer telephones for a period of 1- 2 hours. Most of the committee could volunteer for the first 2 hours of the event, but not any later in the day. Ms. Spies will email the remaining committee members to see if they are available. 3. Adhoc Senior Committee Update Ms. Spies stated that she is the liaison to this newly formed committee. If anyone knows someone that might be interested in getting involved by being a committee member, please let her know. The committee will probably meet once a month at a early time. The goal of the committee is to always make funds available to continue the Golden Diners, hold a Community Nutrition Network and Meals one Wheels, and determine other needs of seniors like programs, transportation and networking. The meetings will probably start in February. OLD BUSINESS 1. Update of Volunteer of the Year Award Form for 2009/2010 Ms. Spies is seeking suggestions on how to update the form for this year. She stated that some comments after the event this year were that all nominees should be invited to the event, the mayor should read the accomplishments of the nominees and that everyone should receive a certificate of recognition. 2 Committeeman Knutson stated that there aren't a lot of entries, but the more this is done, the better it will get. Committeeman Harker suggested that a cover letter to the form be created stating that an event is hold which includes food and a meet and greet session. Also, the program should be first and the meet and greet should follow. Ms. Spies stated that the event will be held on October 20, 2010 at 6:30pm. Deadlines for submission will be September 10, 2010 and the committee will vote on the winner on September 15, 2010. It was also suggested that there be a senior nominee. The committee determined that the adult division would include persons age 19-60 and the senior division would include persons over the age of 60. Ms. Spies will work on the cover letter and also publish the information the city's website. This item will return to the next agenda for further discussion. 2. Government Day - Update Chairperson Gengler hasn't spoken to Mr. Dunn. He will speak with him this week. This item will be helpful to have on the February agenda and Mr. Dunn will be invited to attend. ITEMS FOR NEXT MEETING AGENDA: • Chairperson Gengler stated that the Street Naming Process will be on the next agenda. Ms. Spies feels that an entire meeting should be dedicated to this program. It was discussed that the families of those names that have been approved should receive a certificate, a map indicating where the street is located and have their picture taken with the Mayor. There should be 1 event held, then hold then yearly thereafter. We could send invitations and recognize those names that have been approved. • AID Telethon • Volunteer of the Year Award • Government Day ADDITIONAL DISCUSSION None ADJOURNMENT OF THE HUMAN RESOURCES COMMISSION: The meeting adjourned at 7:24 pm.
