Page 2 — April 2008 HRC Additional Business: The current members of the HRC are asking the Mayor to appoint new members to the committee. It was felt that new members may have some ideas for new projects and that if we wait to think of new projects and then get members, it maybe counter-productive. Diana says at this time, she cannot devote a lot of time to new projects. Barry said he would check on the progress of getting the Historical Names signs, since many have been put up, but no recognition has been given, nor notification provided to the families or nominators. He will also see about finding out if there is someone at the City who would be designated as the `contact person for things that HRC has worked on or will work on, so that when things are suggested that they get followed through afterward. He will check with Brendan. Another project that was started was the Volunteer listing for agencies in the area when people contact the City about volunteer opportunities. Forms were sent out, and Cecelia stated that some organizations reported they filled them out and sent them back, but the HRC had not been notified of these returns and the volunteer project has not been done. Adiournment: Diana motioned to adjourn, Cecelia seconded. Meeting adjourned at 6:20. Next meeting is on Wednesday, May 21 , 2008. Meeting minutes submitted by Cecelia Sanders DRAFT UNITED CITY OF YORKVILLE HUMAN RESOURCE COMMISSION COMMITTEE MEETING Police Department Conference Room 800 Game Farm Road Yorkville IL 60560 Wednesday, June 18, 2008 Committee Members Present: Police Dept. Representative Tom Zerante Lt. Don Schwartzkopf Diana Lento-Riedy Cecelia Sanders City Representative Dana Jones Ald. Joe Plocher Meeting Called to Order by President Diana Lento-Riedy at 6:05 p.m. Quorum established. Ald. Plocher related that Mayor Burd will be appointing two new members to the Commission at the Tuesday City Council meeting. He had no further information on them. He also related that Glory Spies will be sending out letters, photos and map directions when the brown Historical Signs are put up. It was asked if she could send them to the person (if living), and to family and also the nominator (if it is other than the family members). Tom asked, since we would still be down one member after the new appointments, if consideration might be given to getting a disabled person, or a student, as we had at one time. There is representation now from the senior population and the younger parent generation, but these other perspectives might also be helpful. Ald. Plocher mentioned the AID office might be of some help. Introduction of Guests: None Citizen Comments: None Approval of Minutes from the May 21 , 2008 meeting. Tom made a motion to accept, Diana seconded. Approved. Committee Reports: Police Dept. — Lt. Schwartzkopf handed out newsletters reminding people to lock their car doors. Too many thefts have been occurring. New Business: The Appointment of new members was previously discussed. Determination of Direction of HRC - Cecelia mentioned the Volunteer Registry that was once started, as well as a Resource Directory of services and programs available in Yorkville. Lt. Schwartzkopf stated that they gets many calls for information, and also have people stopping in to ask where places such as the Public Aid office are located. They also have seasonal questions, such as where the July 0 Parade and Activities are held and where people can park for the fireworks. Diana said she could bring her laptop and start to get some entries. Cecelia said that she has several such booklets from Kane County and many of those agencies also serve Kendall County, so that is a start. Lt. Schwartzkopf said that he didn't know that there was a Kendall County Coalition of Neighbors and that Operation Push is also active in the county. There have been several instances lately where both agencies were brought in to help in a neighborhood situation that has been on-going for some time.

This Act ensures that meetings of governmental bodies are made known to the public in advance and allows the public to attend those meetings. In Illinois, at least 48 hours notice of a meeting must be given. As cited by the Illinois Municipal League' , a meeting is defined as ". . . any gathering, whether in person or by video or audio conference, telephone call, electronic means (such as, without limitation, electronic mail, electronic chat, and instant messaging), or other means of contemporaneous interactive communication, of a majority of a quorum of the commissioners of a public body held for the purpose of discussing public business . . . " A "quorum" is defined as the number of members of a public committee or board that is required to legally transact (take action or vote on) business. A "majority of a quorum" is minimum number of members assembled in which Open Meetings Act requirements apply. As the number of members of a committee increases, the number required for a quorum also increases. The chart below can help you determine what constitutes a quorum and majority of a quorum for your committee. Number of Members on Quorum Majority of a Quorum Committee (# required to take action (Open Meeting or vote on business) Requirements Apply) 3 2 2 5 3 n/a 7 4 3 9 5 3 11 6 4 13 7 4 15 8 5 17 9 5 What does this mean for your Committee? Basically, this act means that a Majority of a Quorum of any governmental committee cannot meet without posting an agenda at least 48 hours prior to that meeting. For example, if a committee has 9 members, 3 of them cannot meet (in person or electronically) to discuss business related to that committee without first posting an agenda. 3 Barnicle, T.M., Bayer, T.P, and Jurusik, M.T. (2007) Manual on Illinois 'Sunshine Laws": The Open Meetings and Freedom of Information Acts. Chicago: Klein, Thorpe and Jenkins, Ltd. and The Illinois Municipal League AGENDAS Agendas for all City meetings are distributed by the City Clerk's office. In order to comply with the State of Illinois Open Meetings Act, meeting agendas are required to be distributed to the appropriate bodies a minimum of 48 hours before a public meeting. Once a meeting agenda has been finalized, the Clerk's office will post the agenda in the lobby of City Hall, as well as on the City website. It will also be provided to the local press, all elected officials, and all City departments. Additionally, the Clerk's office will supply all committee members with an agenda and any supplemental information prior to the meeting date. To ensure that agendas are prepared and supplied in a timely fashion, it is requested that you provide the Clerk's office with an agenda at least one (1) week prior to the date of the meeting. Typically, items for the agenda are decided at the previous meeting and/or through committee members contacting the chairperson with items they would like to discuss. There is no particular format required for agendas, however a sample agenda is attached for you to use as a model if you choose. Agenda Process / Timeline 1 week (minimum) Agenda items provided to Clerk's office by committee before meeting Chairperson. 48 hours (minimum) Agenda distributed by Clerk's office to appropriate before meeting bodies. *NOTE: Any meeting in which committee business is discussed requires an agenda to posted in order to inform the public. Meeting without posting an agenda at least 48 hours in advance violates the Open Meetings Act. A.

These minutes become part of the permanent record on file at City Hall. It is not required that minutes transcribe the meeting discussion verbatim; rather they should present a summary of main topics and key points. A sample is attached for reference. It is recommended that, at the first meeting, the Chairperson appoint a member of the committee to be recording secretary for the committee. This way there will be no confusion as to who is taking minutes for each meeting and the Clerk's office will know who to contact with questions regarding minutes for the committee. The recording secretary should provide a draft copy of meeting minutes to the Clerk's office within 7- 10 days after the meeting. The draft minutes will help the Clerk's office to know if any action needs to be taken on items that were discussed and will also help in preparing the agenda for the following meeting. At the following committee meeting, the draft minutes from the previous meeting should be reviewed by the committee members to check for errors or points that may need to be clarified. The recording secretary should note any changes that need to be made and provide a final, approved copy of the previous meeting minutes to the Clerk's office within one ( 1 ) week after their approval. The approved minutes will be posted on the City website and filed in the Clerk's office permanently.

Committee Members Present: Alderman Jason Leslie, Chairman Alderman Joe Besco Alderman Gary Golinski Alderman Marty Munns Guests: Mayor Valerie Burd (arr. 7:30pm) Alderman Joe Plocher Alderwoman Rose Spears Community Development Director Travis Miller Interim City Manager Bart Olson Economic Development Director Lynn Dubajic Attorney Gregg Ingemunson Tony Scott,Kendall County Record Donna & Gary Cervelli, Tuscany Real Estate Investments Diane Pobol Ken Spaeth, Old 2"" Bank Minutes for Correction/Approval: July 31, 2007 The minutes were approved as read. New Business: I. EDC 2007-32 Monthly Building Permit Report for July 2007 Travis Miller reported that residential permits are down, however, he noted 38 permits were issued in July, 2006 compared to 34 in July, 2007. Due to rapid commercial growth, the City is only down 10% for all permits compared to last year. Alderman Leslie asked how this has affected the budget so far this year. The capital fees tied to building permits are only slightly behind and there has been no effect on major capital purchases at this time according to Bart Olson. He also noted additional squad cars will be purchased when there is more cash available. He said there is great cooperation between departments regarding large dollar purchases. No further action was required and this information will move to C.O.W. SAMPLE Page 2 2 EDC 2007-33 Monthly Plan Commission Report for August 2007 The Jake Land Group was the only item in this report and Mr. Miller provided a summary of the Plan Commission meeting. Since the EDC had requested to be informed when the Plan Commission is not in favor of proposed developments,he brought the information forward to this committee. In this case, the commission approved annexation, but not the PUD or zoning. Mr. Miller said the case will move to Public Hearing on August 28`h without revisions and he said this is typical. The next step is the annexation agreement and then the matter moves back to EDC with revisions. It was noted that when an application comes in,there is a draft annexation agreement attached. When that is presented at a Public Hearing,the staff has not yet reviewed it. Alderwoman Spears noted that previously during Public Hearings,the Council was allowed to address the petitioner and state concerns. However, at the last Public Hearing held, she noted that the Council was advised that was not the time for comment--that it was only a presentation. Bart Olson said the Council and Mayor would need to decide what procedure would be followed and he suggested the Mayor and Aldermen should discuss this matter. Ms. Spears asked to have this matter placed on a future C.O.W. agenda. Old Business: 1. PC 2007-24%alant Development-Rezoning This development is at the corner of Rt. 47 and Center St. and the petitioner has requested rezoning from R-2 to B-2. One of the concerns was that parking would possibly spill over into the park area especially on the weekend when events might be held. Alderman Leslie also noted that the business would be within 2 feet of the future right-of-way Comments from Mr.Miller included: This is a non-conforming structure and if a fire occurred, the property would have to go through the variance process. Language regarding right-in/right- out, signage, water connection/well abandonment will be added to the development agreement. Revisions will be submitted so that the matter can be considered at the August 28`h Council meeting. A consensus of the group was reached.

Sponsorship is an effective marketing and communication tool used by many businesses, organizations and government agencies, regardless of their size. Sponsorships are not donations, the City expects their sponsorship will provide a measurable return or benefit for the residents or businesses of Yorkville. The general aim of sponsorship is to raise the profile of the sponsoring organization , to sell products or services and to reach particular target audiences. Sponsorship also promotes a positive awareness of the organization with residents, customers, potential customers and the community. Sponsorships are structured in the form of direct financial assistance, or "in kind" sponsorship, which involves the sponsor providing equipment or resources. In kind may be limited due to available equipment, manpower, or other City required events, work, or projects. The affected Department for the resource allocation will be monitored or determined by the Department Head . Sponsorship Guidelines The United City of Yorkville receives a number of sponsorship requests, which unfortunately makes it difficult for us to accept or sponsor every event. We have outlined a series of guidelines to help with the selection of sponsorship events. Guidelines are updated annually and may change from year to year based on the mission and goals of the City Council. All sponsorship requests and proposals shall be submitted to the Human Resource Commission for approval. The Human Resource Commission shall report all approved sponsor ships to the City Council. Sponsorship amounts are awarded on a first come, first served basis, based on available funds within the fiscal year budget. Amounts are also limited to $250 per year, per organization. This policy does not apply to events in which the City is a joint partner, such as the 4`h of July or Riverfront Festival.

Rental dollar amount is so low that it is impossible to find a house. Many units that I have asked to be inspected were turned down. Housing would not allow the paperwork. Denise of Kendall County has looked on her computer and gave a landlord$91.7 as my rental amount She has told the landlord I cannot afford their unit. Just around the end of April I had found a home in Bristol Bay for$995.00. I was told by Denise to wait until she came back from vacation which was May5_ The Realtor also agreed to wait. Denise told me not to call during the time she was on vacation because Denise Merger(her boss),was only to answer the phones. She said that about four times. I told her I would be busy because,I was getting ready for my finals. That Friday,May 9 Denny left a message that he wanted a deposit I had called Denise twice the week she had returned from her vacation,but she did not return my call. May13 a message was on my recorder, stating the house had been rented. It was not inspected. Denise said"She and realtor had kept missing each other". She tried to blame me. I told her,I thought the apartment is to be inspected before the exchange of money. I also found out that Denny was planning to give me his association fee. I wrote a letter to her supervisor and she responded by telling me that Denise does not have to ask the Complex Reserve @ Fox River(managed by Lincoln Property)for an extension which Denise offered to do after losing my house. Denise Merger also said I must move out by June. They are not willing to send money to the Reserve!! I need time to look for a house all the houses here are$1200. I am weak and in to much pain to continue walking up these stairs. These people are terriblel! Kendall housing sent me to a house owned by an employee of Kendall Housing. Her house is a one bedroom with a small loft for$950. She also stated that most of the housing in Bristol Bay does not charge more that$200 or$300 security deposit but she wanted$950 firm me. My daughter heard this conversation. Once before 1 had found a lady who was willing to drop down the price of her house and accept what housing would pay_ I am sending you a copy of what happen. In March of this year, I went to pay my rent and I was told that I owe$700. 1 asked why I was told that the Reserve had received notification from Kendall housing. I called and spoke to Denise Merger. She said"she knew nothing about this and it was between the Reserve and me". Finally,the Reserve gave me a copy of a memo that came from housing. I am sending you a copy. I have paid$140 of the$700 owed. I sent a change of income to housing in October why does that memo say complete in February. 06 /23 /2008 16 : 49 FAX 6305537198 VWCHsREHBmYORK Q003 They never send me notification of increases or decreases. I always ask the Reserve before paying my rent, what is my amount to pay? one year and he always I did not receive child support for miss at one week payment. . Once before the Reserve said there was an over payments and reduced my rent for several months. After months of being turned down, Denise finally said she would approve the house in Bristol Bay. The conditions were that: I was told that I must pay the Reserve the $700 and send a 30 day notice to the Reserve. After she did not get the house approved, she said she would get an extension from the Reserve. She also sent be to the small house in Bristol Bay and $700 house in Plano, which I refused. They were punishing me without telling me, by refusing to approve any house. I think they did these things on purpose. I just do not understand whyl l l I am trying to make a better life for my daughter and me. The Reserve @ Fox River I have lived here for a little over two years. I noticed after looking through my records, that they charged mean additional $100 rent when I signed my new lease_ They also back dated it for April instead of Jun of 2007. How can they charge me such a high increase? Housing amount is still the same, but I am paying $107 more per month. I brought this to the attention of Denise Merger a couple of months ago and her response was that she does not have my lease. 1 am disabled and I am in physical and occupational therapy now. I can barely walls up these stairs. The lady upstairs from me has caused me to call the police numerous times. She washes beginning at 6:00 am or begins to wash at 10:00 pm she was washing until late 1 :00 am. The .Reserve has allowed us to constantly fight over this matter (two African American women). I feel this could be dangerous. She seems unstable and sh e lies to the police right in front of her kids. The kids barely come out side but they run all over the apartment Please help me; I am so angry and sick. I am breaking out all over my neck and arms. They are causing me mental and physical illness.
