Minutes for Correction/Approval:
It was moved and seconded to accept the minutes of the September and October
meetings, and questions and comments were solicited by Scott. Rose had some
corrections concerning the addition of a paragraph that hadn't appeared in a previous
draft. Joan commented that someone had told her that some material had not been
included that should have been. It concerned the $1 charge. This was on September 17.
(Inaudible) Rose also had transcribed some information from her tape of the meeting that
she wished to have added to the minutes. There was some question whether the
commission recommended that we take the food pantry off the bottom of the billing.
Rose had typed what everybody said and she wanted this added to the minutes. Rose
commented that people should be careful to speak one at a time since the tapes are
difficult to transcribe with everyone talking at once. Mayor Burd stated that the chairman
has to call for a vote and it has to be recorded as to how people voted.. (Inaudible). Scott
asked for an adjustment to add the new information to the September 17 minutes. It was
moved and seconded to approve the addition. It was unanimously approved. Some
discussion followed concerning certification of the amended transcription. Mayor Burd
said that the Clerk's office doesn't want transcriptions on the minutes,they want the
general thing. Perhaps we should add a paragraph stating that we discussed something.
Scott then asked for a motion to approve the October 15 minutes. Some discussion was
held concerning the $1 increment on the water bill. Scott commented that there had been
no vote specifically on that water bill issue, so we moved it to the next meeting. Rose
stated that she had asked everyone three times what we wanted her to recommend to the
city council and we are all quoted in the transcript and Barry said that it was a council
decision,that it didn't belong here. Rose offered to let people listen to her copy of the
tape if they thought it was important. Scott asked if it had been discussed at city council,
and if so it was out of our hands and a moot point. Rose pointed out that there was a
discrepancy, the mayor had presented it in a different way to city council and said that it
wasn't voted on, so it was in limbo land at city council, so it will probably come back to
city council unless it's going to be eliminated from the bills. It was then pointed out that
this issue would be discussed later in the agenda, and we needed to get back to discussing
the minutes. Scott then called for a vote for the October minutes. It was moved and
seconded to approve the minutes, and the vote was unanimous.
Mayor's Report
Mayor Burd told us that they were trying to be inclusive to all the mayors in Kendall
County. She had talked to Judy Hines of Millbrook who was very excited about being
part of this. She will go through the whole list and give us an update at the next meeting.
She hoped they would come up with something for May. By that time we would know
who the new mayor of Plano will be. Joan asked if she had talked to the mayor of
Newark. Mayor Burd said she had met with him, but not about this event, so she will call
him back.
Staff Reports:
None
New Business:
Scott reported that Maria wanted one of our board members to volunteer to be on the
food pantry board. Scott asked if anyone at the meeting would be willing to do that. Barb
McClish offered to do that since she knows Maria and Diane, and knew that they would
be expanding, and through her affiliation with Caring Hands, she felt that she would be
an asset, and could bring back information to the commission. Scott thanked her for
offering. Scott called for a vote to approve Barb's appointment to the food pantry board.
Joan moved and Cecelia seconded. The vote passed.
Old Business:
Scott brought up the sponsorship policy which was repealed by the city council on
October 28, and the remaining money in the budget will be used by the historic street
naming program. Since there is only about $1,200 left, after a brief discussion, Scott
asked for a vote to recommend that city council use the money for street naming. Joan
moved, Cecelia seconded. After a roll call vote, all approved.
Mayor Burd asked Bart to explain some research he had done concerning donations to
organizations, through sponsorships. Bart reported that he had studied Gold Star's
request. He and Brendan called the academy to try to find out their not for profit status,
and during this research he discovered some state codes in the Illinois Municipal
Handbook, which said that except for a few limited purposes you're not supposed to give
taxpayer money to outside organizations. Money should only be used for taxpayer
services. They took this information to city council immediately because Honor Flight
was waiting for information concerning a donation. They also told Gold Star about that
policy. Bart explained that taxpayer money was not to be given to charities or other
organizations. We would only be allowed to donate to senior services or some limited
recreational activities. Glory asked about the Tri City Challenge which provided a
service. Mayor Burd agreed that the area is murky. Cecelia asked about money that was
raised from . Rose said that the money is still there. Madonna asked
that the money be donated to some Alzheimer's charity that she was working on. Scott
thanked Bart for his work involved in the decision concerning sponsorship.
Scott brought up historical street naming. There is a huge binder covering the procedure.
He asked if there was anything we needed to add or change to this. He mentioned some
of the expenses involved. Bart said we needed to recommend to city council concerning
expenses and presentations. He suggested that a form is available if someone wants to
recommend a person to be honored. City council will review the form and get more
information if necessary. Some discussion followed concerning applications. It was
stated that the nominee should have done something voluntarily for the city, not just a
person who did his job well. Rose pointed out that two city attorneys also reviewed this
information. Scott asked what the commission wanted to alter any of the processes in
place, and what to give to the people who are chosen. He wanted to appoint a couple of
point people to do some of the background research sort of like we are doing with the
volunteer opportunities brochure. He offered to volunteer his own services. Ceil offered
to help. She mentioned that she didn't think miniature signs are necessary,just a
certificate. Glory mentioned that families of deceased people like the recognition. Scott
asked for a motion to withdraw the miniature signs and city flags from the memo. It was
moved by Ceil and seconded by Barb. The motion passed. Scott clarified that a regular
brown street sign and some sort of certificate be given at a presentation. Mayor Burd
asked about what kind of presentation would be desired. Bart mentioned that a
presentation be made at the event site, but he stated that Identa Road is rural, and it
wouldn't be a good place to make a presentation. Scott suggested that the presentation be
made at a city council meeting with the mayor presenting the certificate. Perhaps a small
reception with hors doeuvres and punch before the meeting. He suggested that it be
moved to the second council meeting in March. Bart made a suggestion that he make a
list of the people that have been approved, and the commission could decide how much
time would be required to contact all the people and set a date at that time. Rose asked
how many people we would be talking about that we would be ordering brown signs for.
She remarked that if there were 60 people,just the brackets and signs would cost$3,780,
and there is only possibly $1500 in the budget if the council approves. Scott said$1250
is available. Rose suggested that this come back after an exact count is available so we
can bring the dollar amount to the council. Scott suggested that we approve making the
presentation at a city council meeting in the future and a date to be named later with a
punch reception. Mayor Burd suggested that March would be a good time because it will
be before the next city council is seated. Scott asked the commission to approve the
commemoration of the street naming signs at a punch ceremony before the 2nd city
council meeting in March which would be March 24h. Scott moved, Barb seconded, and
the vote passed unanimously. Scott also asked if we could approve him to be a liaison to
Bart as point man for the commission. Joan moved, Barb seconded. All approved. Rose
asked if we want her to not present this to city council until we get an exact amount
because there may not be a presentation if the budget does not contain sufficient funds for
the signs at this time. Scott suggested we use whatever funds we have to get the signs up
that have already been in the works, and if we have to cut some names that are on the list
we'll have to put them back to a later date. We should use the $I250. Rose said she
would present to the council that we want their authorization to use
that money into the historical street naming and if that's approved,then we will ask for
their approval to order as many signs as we could. Mayor Burd asked Bart to put this on
the city council agenda. Rose suggested a map for the families so they would know
where the sign is. Bart suggested that a map be displayed at the commemoration. Glory
said that maps can be printed with the name on it and given at the presentation. Greg will
print them. Bart said if anyone called and asked about locations of these commemorative
signs, he would be glad to help. Scott suggested that a link be put on the web site. He
then asked for a motion that the remaining $1250 be used for street naming signs for the
people that we have already chosen. Bart mentioned that we had already approved this.
The next item to be discussed was the utility bill donations. $1.00 donations can be added
to the water bill. Mayor Burd that she is the chief executive officer of the city and she
can expend some dollars on her own initiative without going through city council. If the
city council has a problem with something she does, they have their own forum and they
don't need to come to the human resources commission to ask us to pass something to
reprimand the mayor. She felt that we weren't aware that that was what we did. It came
back to the city council that we recommended taking that the mayor take that $1 off the
city water bill. The city council as a whole did not have a problem with that being on the
water bill. Through this program we raised around $250 for the food pantry. Maria had
stated that $1 is worth $6. She was confused why this commission would not want to do
something good for the food pantry that didn't cause the staff any inconvenience, and that
she had the authority to do. If the city council wishes to make a policy to set up who or
what organization they want on there, but this one is a fantastic one that serves a lot of
people in the community. This is a good way of getting donations, not taxpayer money.
People decide to give $1 of their own money. She felt that it was a very good cause and
the majority of the city council agreed with her and she recommends that in the future the
HRC not get embroiled in council wars,that we let the city council handle those kinds of
policy issues. She felt that we do want to support the food pantry, and she didn't know
why we would take a vote to take the money away from the organization. Until the
council sets up a policy, she makes those kinds of decisions because the way the
government is set up the mayor is in charge of the administration and the city council
oversees the budget and passes laws, and without anybody passing any law to restrict it,
she does get to make some decisions like that. She mentioned that the expenses in
administering this donation were minimal, involving only about '/2 hour of a staff
member's time. Apparently this decision does not belong in the HRC. Rose asked that
this be put on the agenda for the city council meeting. Some discussion followed about
legalities.
Scott introduced Robyn Sutcliff, 2"d ward alderman.
Glory then gave an update on the volunteer brochure. Barb did some research for phone
numbers, and other information. Glory did the design for the brochure to be handed out
at the Holiday Under the Stars event. Mayor wanted to green committee to be separate,
because it is open to any volunteer who wants to be on it, rather than appointed by the
mayor. Glory tried to save space, but she can pull it out. A discussion followed about the
green committee. Scott asked if we could hand this brochure out at Holiday Under the
Stars, and make amendments in the future. He complimented Glory and Barb for their
work. Some more suggestions were made for revisions. Robyn stated that she is pleased
to hand out a brochure like this when people ask her about opportunities in Yorkville.
Scott moved to accept the brochure with revisions in mind to pass out at Holiday Under
the Stars. It was seconded, and approved.
Scott mentioned that we have a volunteer sheet for members who signed up to work at
the Holiday Under the Stars booth. Glory has handouts that we can distribute in places
such as the library. She has signs already made up for the booth, and all the members
have to do is come for their shift. Scott will find the list and e-mail Ceil and Joan
concerning their time. We will be at booth#2.
Scott then asked about items for the next meeting's agenda. Mayor Burd had received a
phone call from a resident of Grand Reserve who is upset about how the building hasn't
progressed and people are using empty lots as dumps. She also mentioned a single
mother who had four kids and she had to farm them out to relatives because she had to
work and didn't have money for a sitter. She thought our commission could look into
this to see if there is a need for scholarship money to send some children to day care.
Maybe some local business people could help. Barb mentioned that Loving Arms Day
Care accepts children with minimal fees. There may be others as well. Scott suggested
that the commission be a little more proactive in the community. We can figure out how
to be helpful to people struggling with the economy. Maybe we should invite someone to
our meeting to talk about problems. Mayor Burd asked if we would meet in December.
Our next meeting will be on the 3rd Wednesday in January, the 21St. Barb moved to
accept this date, Ceil seconded. Motion carried. Rose asked if anyone had volunteered
to till the empty seat on the commission. Mayor Burd will ask Robin Fritsch to return as
a member.
Joan moved to adjourn, Ceil seconded. Motion carried.

Subject: Historical Street Naming— Policy and Article
LE
As of the January 13`x' City Council meeting, the FY 08109 revised budget has still not been
approved by City Council. The budget is scheduled for discussion at the February 12`x' Administration
Committee meeting, meaning it could at the earliest be approved at the February 25'x' City Council
meeting. Therefore, our tentative timeline for a presentation to historical street name nominees might not
be able to be held at the March 24`f' meeting.
Since the November HRC meeting. I've worked with members of Public Works and Community
Development departments to identify from our street name list, which streets have been built and are
ready for a street sign. I recognize there was some concern that we would not be able to purchase enough
signs with the (proposed) S 1,250—but after studying it, $1,250 should be enough to purchase signs for all
of the historical street names which have been selected and built.
1 have received information that the City already has purchased 8 brown historical street name
signs. As stated previously the City had purchased some brown signs for the City's 50`1' Anniversary
celebration. An example of these signs will be brought to the meeting. In essence, they mimic a regular
green street sign except they are brown and slightly smaller (photos of Ingemunson Lane are attached).
However, 1 know the commission had discussed having the full name of the nominee on the sign. Some
potential designs for the new signs are attached.
I have also studied the City has 7 other streets in the City for which a sign could be purchased. At
$75 per sign (which has increased since the November HRC mecting due to extra bracket cost), the City
could purchase new signs at a total of$525 for this fiscal year. If the commission chooses to recommend
to the City Council that the program be expanded to these seven signs, a formal vote will be needed. The
seven signs are as follows:
Ellsworth in Grande Reserve
Hayden in Prairie Meadows
McMurtie in Whispering Meadows
Edward in Kendall Marketplace
Windett in Windett Ridge
Purcell in Blackberry Woods
Ketchum in Grande Reserve
Additionally, expansion of the program beyond this year will require additional funds to be
budgeted in the FY 09/10 budget. If the HRC would like a funding request to be submitted to the City
Council for FY 09110, a fonnal vote will need to be taken by the commission. I have not studied the
remaining streets and their timeframe for buildout — but I think a subsequent request of$1,500 would be
enough to cover new signs in FY 09/10.

Subject: Historical Street Naming Program
For your information attached is an article that appeared in the first issue of InVironments
Magazine, a publication that focuses on communities in the far west suburbs such as DeKalb,
Sycamore, Yorkville, Genoa, Sugar Grove, Sandwich, Kirkland, Shabbona, Hinckley, Kingston,
Malta, Waterman, Esmond, Clare, Cortland, Somonauk and Plano.
Also, for your information, I am working to secure a space for the March issue featuring the
city's efforts in securing a new home for the Kendall County Food Pantry. It is a great human
interest story that has had made a great impact on the entire county. I will keep you all informed
of the progress on my efforts.

Yorkville street et namin ro ram
rings history to It* fe.
City streets are paving the way for a lasting legacy in the United City of Yorkville. Elden
Madden is among those who will forever be a part of history thanks to Yorkville's '
unique Historical Street Naming Project.
As one of Yorkville's finest founding fathers, Madden has served as its mayor and
four times as an alderman. In recognition of his continuous work toward bettering the
city, he recently was honored with a street named for him. It will be included in the
Autumn Creek subdivision of Yorkville.
He said it's "pretty wonderful"to have a street named after him.
When Madden first came to Yorkville in 1949,the city was much smaller.
"When I moved here with my wife, Mary, there
were two towns—Yorkville,which had 650
people, and Bristol,with 550;" said Madden. .
Within a few years, Madden and a few others
became key members in a committee to bring the
neighboring communities together. On April 4, 1957, the
villages of Yorkville and Bristol became what is now known as the
United City of Yorkville. After an election to merge the two towns, Madden
and others set out to work on making the proposal a reality.
As Mayor of Yorkville from 1952-57, one of the first things Madden accomplished
was adding public water and sewer systems to the Bristol side of the newly
united city.
"Yorkville had city water and a sewer system, said Madden. "Bristol had private
wells and septic systems," he said.
Before the two cities merged, Madden had just opened his own heating and sheet
metal business. He remembers a much different city.
"There was a filling station and a grocery store on the north side," he said. "The
school was on the other side of the river."The majority of the town resided on the
south side.
In addition to being elected both mayor and alderman for the City of Yorkville,
Madden has a variety of other experience with the city.
"After I was elected alderman the second time, I was Public Works director, Building
and Zoning officer, and then I was assistant administrator for the city," he said.
Madden's determination to get things done is not limited to Yorkville, however.
"When I was 66 years old,I started generations to come. To nominate an individual for a
