Intergovernmental Cooperative Agreement of the

(PKBD 2007-01)
Alderman Munns questioned where Item #14 was being moved on the agenda. Mayor Burd
questioned which committee generated the item. Attorney Roth indicated that the item could be
discussed at this time in the meeting so Mayor Burd asked if there was any discussion on the
item.
Alderman Golinski commented that there was nothing in the agreement that allows the School

to develop.
The Minutes of the Reeular Meeting of the City Council — May 22, 2007 — naee 4
Alderman Munns agreed with Alderman Golinski and noted that this item has been discussed at
length at previous meetings and he did not feel that it should have been pulled off the Consent
Agenda for further discussion. He indicated he was ready to vote on the agreement.
Alderman Spears stated that the Council is trying to give the image that they are working with
residents. She noted that a resident has come to the Council indicating that he was unable to
review the agreement and lie should have the opportunity to review the document and make
public comment on it. She did not feel there was a rush to approve the agreement.
Director Mogle explained that it is critical to have this approved because it is for the shared use of
park and school facilities and the Parks & Recreation Department is beginning to work on the fall
programming and needs to know what facilities are available before school is out for the summer.
It was noted that the current agreement expires July 1, 2007.
Alderman Spears asked if delaying the approval for two weeks would put the City or Parks &
Recreation Department programs in jeopardy. Director Mogle again noted that it is easier to
develop the fall schedule while the school principals are available to discuss the school's
schedules.
Mayor Burd noted that there is nothing stopping residents from calling the City for further
information. Alderman Munns agreed acid noted that there is nothing in the agreement
appropriating funds.
Director Mogle clarified that the agreement does not call for the exchange of funds but is an
agreement for the use of facilities.

Meeting Structure
Alderman Leslie commented on a discussion that was held at the Committee of the Whole
meeting on May 15, 2007 regarding the restructuring of committee and the timing for the
meeting. He expressed his concern with the ability to cover the meetings running concurrently.
Monty Charges for Smaller Garbage Cans
Alderman Spears indicated that at the last meeting, Mr. Olson indicated that he was going to
check on monthly charges for smaller garbage cans. She asked if he had the opportunity to do
this. Mr. Olson indicated that he did not.
Compost Site Report
Alderman Spears questioned if Code Official Bill Dettmer had prepared a report on the compost
site. Administrator Crois stated that it was prepared however Mr. Dettmer did not give him a
copy before he left last week. Mayor Burd added that she spoke with the Assistant Code
Enforcement Officer who said he goes out on Monday, Wednesday and Friday to check on the
operation and that he immediately responds to any calls of complaint. There was a discussion
regarding the inspections. The Council requested a weekly report that included information on
what is checked and what the findings are. Mayor Burd noted that adjacent to this property is an
IDOT site where they dump road kill and this contributes to the odor. She stated that this was
discussed with IDOT and they are taking steps to remedy it. Administrator Crois added that
IDOT was dumping the carcasses there without burying them or treating them with lime.

12 12 an R-3 townhome zoning on the property and a PUD.
MR. MICHAEL ROTH, City Attorney. 13 In 2003 we came to the City with
13
14 this project first. We are going through the
14 15 process we went through, the concept process. A
15 16 concept plan was approved in 2004 through Wyndham
16 17 in 2005. It was substantially like this plan.
17 18 The main difference between that plan was the same
18 19 amount of units and this has to do with the
19 20 entryway. When we are going through the s
2 21 preliminary plat process in 2005, we did not have
22 22 this connection that now goes through Route 47.

15 developer and Mike Schoppe is here with us. This 15 plan that's included in that annexation agreement,

17 the staff to come forward with a plan for the area 17 this property line there was planned to be a city

23 Several things have happened that 23 up along that lot line. So we thought rather than

15 MR. GOLINSKI: And with the reduced size 15 Honor, was I was looking at the agenda, the
16 of this lake, there is not that type of area 16 consent agenda, for today's meeting and No. 14

explained that about two years ago the Park & Recreation Department embarked on a project
located next to Grande Reserve Elementary School. This park was known as Grande Reserve
Park "D". When thinking about the best way to name the park, it was suggested to having a park
naming contest. He turned the floor over to Sylvia Torto, Principal of Grande Reserve
Elementary School to explain the contest.
The Minutes of the Regular Meeting of the City Council — June 12. 2007 — page 2
Mrs. Torto explained that the contest was tied into the Character Counts program. When Mr.
Mogle asked about holding the contest, the pillar the students were studying was "citizenship"
and the essay contest was aimed around this. All students were asked to submit an essay, each
class room picked one and then from these essays, one was picked from each grade level. From
these finalists, Maura Shannon's essay was chosen and the park will be named "Stepping Stone
Park".
Miss Shannon read her essay for the City Council. She was then presented with an American flag
from Mrs. Torto, a United City of Yorkville flag from Mayor Burd and a plaque and gift card
from Director Mogle.

CITIZEN COMMENTS
Carol Foster of 1312 Chestnut Circle questioned the City Council about the status of the traffic
light on Route 34 and Sycamore. She noted that the apparatus has been in place since 2001 and
with the increase in traffic it is difficult to make a left hand turn out of the subdivision. She
understood that the funding for the light is in the budget and thought it would be installed in May
or June 2007. Mayor Burd explained that this issue is a top priority and is on the agenda for the
June 19, 2007 Committee of the Whole meeting.
Ms. Foster also expressed her concern regarding John Street being a thoroughfare because when
Copley gave their presentation regarding their new facility, the hospital seemed to be in the path
of were John Street should connect She noted that there is no alternate east/west route in the area
and in an emergency on Route 34 a connected John Street would give an alternate route or detour.
She asked that this be considered.
Louise Easton, 1382 Chestnut Circle, commented on the pond in Fox Hill behind the Dreyer
facility. She stated that the water is not being circulated and the pond has become stagnant,
buggy and smelly. She also had another concern about the semi-trucks pulling out on to Route 34
out of the Kendall Marketplace construction site. She indicated that the trucks are pulling out fast
into traffic. Alderman Mums agreed with Ms. Easton regarding the trucks coming out of the
construction site. Chief Martin stated he would have officers in the area to help prevent this. -
Alderman Basco asked that the pond be put on the Public Works Committee agenda for further
investigation.
Karen Fisher, 1391 Chestnut Circle, also commented on the condition of the pond. She indicated
that it is full of algae and weeds and could be a breeding ground for mosquitoes. She stated that
if the pond was better maintained, it would be a nice area.
Randy Scott, 45 Highview Drive, asked the City Council to consider a moratorium on banks
however one is needed on the south side of the town. He also noted that more restaurants would
be nice. Aldennan Spears noted that this has been brought up before and hopefully it can be
discussed by the new City Council.

ADDITIONAL BUSINESS
Buffering
Alderman Leslie reported that he received an e-mail from Mr. & Mrs. Price of the Sunflower
subdivision regarding the buffering for Fountainview Plaza. He stated that be will discuss this
with Director Miller. He felt it was important to make sure developers put in what is required in
regards to buffering.
Grande Reserve Park Lights
Alderman Munns reported that he bad the opportunity to umpire at the Grande Reserve Ball Field
and it was one of the best things he has seen in Yorkville; kids enjoying playing under the lights.
He noted that be was told that the lights are turned off at 10:00 p.m. no matter what inning the
game being played is in. He asked if this was agreed to in writing. Director Mogle explained that
this was agreed to because of the neighboring homes close by and that the lights are turned off at
10:00 p.m. on weekdays and 10:30 p.m. on weekends. Alderman Mums asked if the turn-off
time could be readdressed. He also asked when the concession stand/bathroom building will be
operational. Director Mogle indicated that it should be open by July 3, 2007.
Wal-Mart
Alderman Mums reported that he heard a rumor that the Wal-Mart store in Yorkville "is dead".
Interim City Administrator Olson stated that the final plat is still on the Plan Commission agenda.
Mayor Burd stated that the project was moving forward as she had received a progress report on
the project.
Fox Hill Medians
Alderman Munns noted that the medians in Fox Hill are full of weeds and are not being
maintained. He asked if it could be investigated if the maintenance and possibly some plantings
could be included in the Special Service Area fee. Alderman Sutcliff commented that she spoke
The Minutes of the Regular Meeting of the City Council — June 12, 2007 — nage 6
with Director Miller regarding this problem who indicated that it should not be a problem to
improve the medians and add the maintenance to the SSA.
Elevator Inspections
Alderman Besco voiced his concem regarding elevator inspections in the City. He noted that the
inspection certificate in the Rush-Copley building was dated 2002 and it has recently disappeared
from the elevator. He suggested that the Building Inspector take a closer look at the inspections.
Stop Sign on Countryside Parkway
Alderman Besco reported that he was going to discuss with Director Dhuse if there are funds in
the budget for a flashing stop sign for the intersection of Countryside and Center Parkway.
Alderman Spears recommended that the same type of sign as the one used on Van Emmon and
Heustis Street be installed.
Heartland Circle Park
Alderman Spears asked Director Mogle about the progress on the Heartland Circle park and he
indicated that the park concept will be done this summer and there will be an open house in
August to present it to the residents.

PUBLIC HEARING: None
PRESENTATION:
1. Cobblestone North — Concept Plan
Attorney Kelly Kramer was present on behalf of Cobblestone North. She stated this is a
49.7-acre commercial site on the southeast corner of Rt. 34 and Eldamain. It received a
unanimous recommendation from the Plan Commission last week. The primary access is
along Rt. 34 and will line up with the Sexton property with a possible lengthy access road
if a second entrance is approved.
Page 2 of 14
Travis Miller commented that that Faxon Road extension near this property, will be
farther south than shown on the Comprehensive Plan and he asked Ms. Kramer to make
her client aware of this.
Mayor Burd asked how the Rte. 34 improvements would be handled because she had
spoken with Plano's Mayor who had some concerns. Mr. Miller said that nearby
property owners had a recent meeting to discuss a joint project rather than to work with
IDOT separately. Rte. 34 will be widened with turn lanes and ultimately there will be six
lanes. Property owners have been asked to dedicate land for this project. The County
plans to extend Eldamain south across the river to High Point Road.
Alderman Plocher inquired about the possible retailers in this commercial development,
however, it is not known at this time.
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE:
(Vice Chairman Gary Golinski substituted for Jason Leslie in his absence)
1. EDC 2007-18 Building Permit Report for April 2007
There were no comments and this report is FYI only.
2. PC 2006-95 Kleinwachter — Final Plat of Subdivision
This was approved by the Plan Commission 7-0 and subject to staff comments. Mr.
Miller added that the property was annexed and zoned last summer as a special use for a
daycare facility to be constructed this year. The petitioner will adjust their engineering
plan according to City recommendations. This item will move to City Council consent
agenda subject to staff comments.
3. PC 2007-11 Fountain View — preliminary and Final Plat of Subdivision
The Plan Commission also approved this request for a plat of subdivision by a 7-0 vote,
subject to staff comments. This is a 3-lot commercial area at Rt. 47 and Fountainview
Drive. Kelly Kramer, Attorney for this project, said there were no exceptions to the staff
comments. It was recommended this move to the consent agenda subject to staff
recommendations.
9. PC 2007-10 Rush-Copley — Final Plat of Subdivision
On a 7-0 vote, the Plan Commission also recommended approval of this project subject to
staff comments. Attorney John Philipchuck was present on behalf of this development.
A Power Point presentation was shown for the benefit of the new Aldermen and he
explained this is a 40-acre parcel on the south side of Rt. 34 just west of the County
government center and near the future Beecher Road extension.
It is comprised of 2 lots with the larger parcel for the Rush-Copley Healthcare Center.
There will be a health club, hospital and office building. Other features are unique
Page 3 of 14
architecture, on-site detention, bike path along Veteran' s Parkway and Beecher and a
pond. Inside the complex will be a surgery center, lab and other types of services.
Alderman Sutcliff asked about John Street connecting to the property. It will connect and
there will be a circle drive around the complex. Bike trails will be constructed in lieu of
sidewalks and Mr. Miller noted that Plano is also considering a trail. The trail will
continue on the east side of Rt. 47. It will shift to the north side of Rt. 34 most likely near
the courthouse complex. It was noted that the City has also met with Kane County
regarding the continuation of the trail system. Alderman Sutcliff asked if bike racks
could be included.
Ms. Sutcliff said that some Fox Hill residents are upset about the parking garage of this
facility being so close to the townhouses. Increased landscaping will be used to act as a _.
buffer. Travis Miller also said that issue was brought up in the Public Hearing and the
garage will be angled to shield it from the townhomes.
This item will move to the consent agenda subject to staff comments.
S. PC 2006-97 Castle Bank Trust #8342 — Annexation and Zoning
This item appeared before the Plan Commission in April and was given a positive
recommendation for annexation and rezoning. R4 zoning is being requested for an
assisted living/nursing home and B3 zoning is requested for commercial property in the
front. There was concern for oak trees on the property and Mr. Miller recommended
approval of the project subject to staff comments.
Alderman Werderich questioned the land cash and school transition fees being waived.
Mr. Miller said this is normal for such a facility since it would not require a school and
that land cash is tied to residential development. Transitional fees would apply to an
influx of students if there were a school. Mr. Werderich also asked about the
exculpatory rider that states there is no liability to Castle Bank and that the only people
liable are those related to the trust. Ms. Kramer said the developer signed a disclosure.
Alderman Spears commented that this development was a great mix with the commercial
as well as the assisted living. This item moves forward to City Council for a vote.
6. EDC 2007-10 Visitability Code — Ordinance Discussion
Alderman Spears reported that the City conducted a meeting with local builders and they
were given a copy of the proposed ordinance. There were 45 builders invited and 11
attended. AMG Builders inquired about a sunken living room on the first floor of their
homes since this is one of their trademarks. Ms. Spears recommended a variance for this
type of situation since there is access around the first floor.
Page 4 of 14
The effective date of the ordinance and whether it would apply to developments already
approved were also discussed. One builder questioned why the City would adopt a code
that only affected I % of the population. Ms. Spears said the City should take a proactive
approach, since many different people may live in that home in its lifetime. She also said
that 50,000 veterans now require some special accessibility.
Pulte Builders had a concern with the "no step" requirement and said they had to repair a
water problem in Bolingbrook due to this requirement. Ms. Spears compared the "no
steps" to banks, theatres, stores who often have no steps. She said the "no step"
requirement was removed from Yorkville's code. Alderman Besco asked about the
flooding problem and if it was due to digging deep. The actual cause was due to the floor
being at grade, however, Mr. Miller said this problem could be resolved. It was also
noted that a step-free entrance does not necessarily have to be the front entrance.
Bill Dettmer recommended phasing in the proposed ordinance and he added an appeals
process to the ordinance. He also encouraged builders to submit, in writing, any concerns
they had about this code. Two builders did submit concerns and Ms. Spears said those
concerns should be researched.
Alderman Munns said he had received emails that this is private enterprise and that
homeowners are being forced to pay thousands more to accommodate a select group.
This is in contrast to public facilities that might serve many.
Alderman Sutcliff commented that many of the features are already included such as first
floor powder rooms and bedrooms and the changes require very little money. Travis
Miller said the changes cost $2,000 to $3,000 extra, not including the step free entrance.
The primary issue for the builder, according to Alderman Golinski, is the step-free
entrance. Some of the builders would have to alter their designs as a result. He said he
favored voluntary compliance with an incentive for builders who comply or perhaps a
certain percentage of homes be built with handicap-accessibility. He feels more research
is necessary before a final ordinance is adopted.
On a personal note, Alderman Plocher commented that his own family has accessibility
needs and that this ordinance was a positive step. He approved of awarding incentives.
Ms. Spears said she would approve eliminating the "no step" portion, but she encouraged
giving incentives to builders who incorporate that feature. She also said if appeals are
allowed, then the builder should have the right to appeal the inspection or impact fees.
Mayor Burd asked how the City would choose which builders would be required to
incorporate the "no-steps". Alderman Besco suggested including language in the
annexation agreements. She suggested that buyers should be able to decide if they want a
home built to the new code and that it should not be required.
Page 5 of 14
Ms. Spears noted that other aspects of the codes were removed from the proposed code
such as thermostats, electric boxes, etc., that are not being placed at accessible levels.
She also listed other specific features omitted from the ordinance and said they should all
be included. Alderman Golinski had concerns for young children being able to reach
these controls, however, Ms. Spears said there are safety devices available.
It was the opinion of the Mayor that the appeals process should be removed. Alderman
Spears agreed and also said that the original code should be kept. However, it was noted
that Naperville had some problems enforcing a similar code. Travis Miller asked for time
to prepare an incentive policy even if it is not part of the ordinance and he asked for an
opportunity to report why some of the components were removed .
This matter will return to the next EDC meeting in June.
7. EDC 2007-11 Safe Routes to School Program Update
Travis Miller said that municipalities can apply for money for this program and those
applications are due by May 31 ". If the application is approved, plans must be finalized
before June 30`h. This money would allow for completing sidewalks, trails etc. for safer
routes to school. Laura Haake from the Parks Department is currently working on this
project. There was no further action at this time.
8. EDC 2007-19 Edward Property — Wooded Area Update
Alderman Golinski stated that staff recommended to not proceed with acquisition of this
woods based on several factors. The Forest Preserve District has also been contacted
about a possible interest in the woods. Alderman Golinski said he hoped that some type
of grant might be available for this valuable land and he also said Edwards Hospital
wants to recoup some money as well. Ms. Spears also concurred that it should be
preserved and suggested that original negotiations should have included a possible
donation by the original landowner. Mayor Burd added that scrub trees also need to be
saved to serve as buffers and a sanctuary for animals.
Alderman Werderich questioned what the per-acre value would be for this land and it was
noted that the land cash value is $ 101 ,000 per acre.
Resident Lance DeVries of 1701 Candlebury Lane said he represented a majority of
people residing in this area. He provided handouts of information from the Conversation
Foundation and information for the new Aldermen. The Conservation Foundation is
interested in helping the City attain this property. He noted that the recent open space
referendum had a 68% support rating. He also presented a petition signed by many
nearby residents and he hoped for continued negotiations with Edward Hospital. He said
there are 150-year old trees, including oaks and maples, as well as wildlife and plants in
this wooded area.
Page 6 of 14
The Park Board has discussed this property and Mr. Mogle stated that the Board is faced
with numerous projects at this time, some of which the Board is obligated for, based on
annexation agreements. Other issues include the recreational value and liability of such
an area. He did mention possible conservation development and clean energy grants, but
he said that this property would not be a strong Oslad candidate.
Mayor Burd challenged the Council to "think outside the box" rather than think of these
properties as recreational areas and to think of them as buffer areas. There are a limited
number of wooded areas, some of them along Rt. 47 and they should be preserved. She
does not wish to see one development after another.
Jim Gary of 93 Crooked Creek praised the Mayor' s challenge and said that a value
cannot be placed on a natural area such as this one.
Alderman Plocher asked if there is a limit to the number of grants applied for in a year.
Ms. Suteliff suggested partnering with other organizations and added that while she
praised all the parks, she said not all recreation is manufactured. Attorney Kelly Kramer
will also talk with Edwards Hospital regarding price negotiations.
Since there are other similar properties, Alderman Besco suggested the establishment of a
fund so that money is available when the opportunity arises. Another such wooded area
is near F.E. Wheaton.
This matter will be brought back after more research is conducted.
9. EDC 2007-20 Resolution Transferring Jurisdictional Development Review to the
City of Plano (DuPageAsphalt)
Travis Miller said this property located at Rt. 71 , Highpoint Road and Budd Road is
outside the Comprehensive Plan area and 1 .5 miles from the corporate boundary. An
inter-governmental agreement was drafted for this matter, however, Attorney Roth noted
that Yorkville would have an opportunity to voice their comments. Alderman Besco
requested an improved map of the parcel. Portions of this property have been rezoned
and trees are being preserved.
This matter moves to the consent agenda.
PUBIC WORKS COMMITTEE:
(Out of sequence)
4. PW 2007-76 Sunny Valley Farm — Route 126 Drainage Issue
Joe Wywrot summarized the drainage problem in this area. Following the construction of
the Raintree and Prestwick developments, there is now a continuous flow of water in the
swale on the Sunny Valley Farm property. The water is thought to be coming from a
previously untapped underground spring. Tile has been installed to reduce this flow since
Page 7 of 14
it is affecting the farm operation. Both developers have expressed frustration and they
have also asked the City Council to consider contributing to the solution.
Mayor Burd said she had met with the farm owner, Mrs. Block, and her son and the
engineer they hired. The Mayor said she remembered that the Council had said there
would be no negative impact on this property at the time the developments were
approved. She said she feels the City has not upheld this agreement and the Blocks have
already waited a year for a solution. The Mayor said she had asked staff to determine the
problem and noted the cost would be approximately $ 150,000. She asked the City
Council to approve this cost and pursue reimbursement from the developers.
Alderman Spears asked if the City had initially approved the smaller drainage tiles. The
developers installed 8-inch tile in an attempt to fix the problem, however, it was noted
that 15-inch tiles should have been used. She also concurred with the Mayor that the
City had assured the Blocks no problems would occur and that the City is now obligated
to them. It was also noted that the Blocks cannot fulfill their contractual obligation with
farmers who contract to farm the land.
Finance Director Mika discussed the possible funding sources to correct this problem.
Alderman Golinski also asked if the problem with the spring could have occurred without
the development. It was suggested by Alderman Besco that the developers should pay
for the solution since the problem occurred after development.
Offering a legal opinion, Attorney Roth said even though the City approves plans, that
does not hold them liable for such problems. He said it would be appropriate to find the
source of the problem and determine whose responsibility it is. He cautioned the City
about setting a precedent.
Jason Wiesbrook, representative of a surveying and engineering firm for the Block was
also present. He cited an Illinois State Drainage Law that states that drainage cannot
adversely affect land.
Chris Earl, farm manager for the Blocks for 18 years, said the standing water is not good
for the cattle since they congregate in that location. He noted this area has not dried out
since last April.
Alderman Munns asked if this matter had been brought before the City Council, however,
it had only been brought to staff up to this point. Mr. Wiesbrook asked for a firm date for
some type of action and it was decided this matter will be addressed in Executive Session
prior to the City Council meeting on May 22❑d to make a decision.
Page 8 of 14
1. PW 2007-73 SCADA Project — Change Order #1
This change order would add two sites to the SCADA project that would allow the
opportunity to view data regarding operation of the system. Mr. Wywrot said the funds
are budgeted. This change order was recommended to move forward to the May 22"d
City Council meeting for approval on the consent agenda.
2. PW 2007- 74 Rob Roy Creek Interceptor (North Branch #1) — Change Order #2
The change order is for crop damage incurred and also for sewer stubs, backfill and bolt-
down type manhole lids all for a cost of slightly over $20,000. Since the contract for the
crop damage had already closed, Mr. Wywrot asked that it be covered under another
contract. Ms. Spears asked the City Attorney to review this action. On a suggestion by
Eric Dhuse, the crop damage portion will be pulled out and the remainder of the contract
will be moved to the May 22"d City Council meeting.
3. PW 2007-75 IDOT Highway Permit and Resolution — Kleinwachter Development
This is a standard highway permit that needs approval by City Council to authorize the
Mayor and City Clerk to sign the resolution. A bond is needed from the developer to
insure satisfactory work. This moves to the Council consent agenda.
(Out ofsequence)
5. PW 2007-77 Fox Highlands — Final Acceptance & Bon&LOC Reductions #2
Joe Wywrot said the punchlist is being worked on and he requested that this letter of
credit be accepted and the remaining items will be completed during the warranty period.
He said the public improvements are streets, water, sewer, lights and trees. This moves
to the Council consent agenda.
6. PW 2007-78 Fox Hill Centre — Final Acceptance & LOC Reductions #2
This is the commercial development at the corner of Rte. 34 and Sycamore. The
punchlist is complete and Mr. Wywrot recommended acceptance of the public watermain
and the sanitary sewer. He noted that $45,000 will be withheld for one year. This moves
to consent agenda.
7. PW 2007-79 Game Farm Road/Somonauk Street — IDOT Funding Agreement,
Engineering Services Agreement and MFTAppropriation Resolution
The preliminary plat has been approved and Mr. Wywrot commented that the project will
be partially funded through the Kane/Kendall Council of Mayors. They will fund 50% of
the engineering and MET will fund the City's 50% share. A completion date is 2009.
This moves to the consent agenda.
Page 9 of 14
8. PW 2007-80 SLF Yorkville — Plat of Easement
This Plat of Easement is for a development at 242 Greenbriar Road and includes
easements for watermain and stormwater detention as well as easements for future
utilities. Approval of the plat was recommended and this item moves to the Council
consent agenda.
9. PW 2007-81 Fountain Village of Yorkville (Lots 4 & S) — Plat of Easement
This plat is for the south side development that includes Walgreens. Locations of
easements and easement language were revised at Walgreens' request since they wanted
the easements on the property perimeter. Attorney Roth recommended that the City
agree to this request provided the Public Works Department feels comfortable with this
action and that sufficient easement rights have been reserved to access the property. He
cautioned that Walgreens has a history of not repaying for this type of work, however,
Alderman Munns said that Walgreens has been a "good neighbor" and generates taxes.
This item will move to the consent agenda.
10. PW 2007-82 In-Town Road Program (Phase 2) — Waterman Easement
This concerns a watermain project at the end of Fox St. The project plans did not
correctly identify the end of the street and a new watermain was placed on private
property. As a result, a permanent easement was needed on the private property.
Compensation was also requested for some landscaping that was destroyed in the
construction and repair work was also needed for the property owners' driveway. These
costs will be covered under the In-Town Road Program and this item moves to the
consent agenda.
11. PW 2007-66 Greenbriar Lot 200 — Sidewalk Easement
Joe Wywrot summarized the history of this easement and said the previous owner of this
lot asked that a sidewalk easement across this lot be vacated and placed in a different
location. The present owner has requested that the easement be vacated and not replaced.
Petitions signed by affected residents in Prairie Gardens and Greenbriar residents were
presented to the City.
Alderman Werderich said he spoke with Prairie Gardens resident Frank Beckley who said
that those residents unanimously do not want a sidewalk. Mr. Werderich also spoke with
the owner of lot 200 who said he did not want the easement.
Mayor Burd said she had asked that this item be brought back to C.O.W. because she
wanted Aldermen to talk with Greenbriar residents. There was concern that the local
park would be isolated without a sidewalk. It was noted that Alderman Leslie was going
to meet with a Park Board member who resides in Greenbriar. That member, Ken Koch
of Buckthorn Court, was present at this meeting and said that before Prairie Gardens was
built, the idea was to inter-connect a trail and a conservation easement with Harris.
Page 10 of 14
Mr. Koch added that the developer of Greenbriar most likely paid land cash for this
easement and he posed the question of the property owner buying back this land.
Alderman Werderich asked where the trail easement ends. It ends at the south end of
Parfection Park. Since a park was not desired in Prairie Gardens since this is an age-
restricted development, the Parks Department opted for a trail in lieu of a park. The
Parks Department is hesitant to lose the easement because of so many similar situations
in the City, said Mr. Mogle.
Alderman Spears suggested this might become a legal issue. In the Attorney's opinion,
most land cash ordinances state that if the property is not used for the designated purpose,
the land must be given back to the developer or the adjoining property owners.
The Mayor and Alderman Golinski both said they do not favor relinquishing this
easement and suggested moving the easement instead. In conclusion, Alderman
Werderich will speak with the property owner and ask him to sign the documents to
vacate and move the easement.

PARK BOARD:
1. PKBD 2007-07Intergovernmental Cooperative Agreement — City/School District
Mr. Mogle said this agreement is the cooperative arrangement between the City and
school for the shared use of each of their facilities. It is a 3-year agreement that expires
soon and has been adjusted only slightly. It was noted that a police officer will be present
at the middle school and high school during school hours.
Alderman Munns asked if this shared use included the baseball fields such as the one
behind the high school that is not being used. He asked Mr. Mogle to discuss this with
the schools since there seems to be a shortage of fields. Mr. Munns was asked to be part
of the Ad Hoc committee comprised of Parks and Schools.
This agreement will be forwarded to the consent agenda.
Page 11 of 14
CITY COUNCIL REQUESTS:
1. Discuss Governing Ordinance
This item was for discussion of the committee structures and how they might be changed.
Alderman Munns commented that time has been saved with the present meeting
structure. However, some felt open discussion was missing and more knowledge was
gained with the previous structure.
The following opinions/suggestions were expressed:
• Each committee be comprised of 4 members and 2 committees to meet
simultaneously
• Hold C.O.W. meetings prior to Council meetings
• Limit C.O.W. length and use some of both the old and new structure
• Chairperson would need to prepare reports to bring to C.O.W.
• Suggestion to revert to the old committee structure
• Split EDC and Public Works into different meeting nights on the C.O.W. agenda
due to the length of EDC
• Eliminate one C.O.W. a month and hold 2 committee meetings that night
• Schedule presentations at committee meetings rather than C.O.W.
• Establish a consent agenda at committee meetings.
• If majority of a committee does not wish to move an item forward, the item is
removed from agenda
Alderman Spears said the ordinance should be reviewed for the benefit of the new
Council members. Bart Olson will draft the changes and it will be brought back to the
C.O.W. meeting for discussion on June 5t".
The Council also briefly discussed the current members of each committee.
MAYOR:
No report
ADDITIONAL BUSINESS:
Alderman Spears questioned the fact that Caledonia did not pay their land cash fees and
requested to see the agreement that was negotiated. David Mogle answered that
$450,000 will be paid on June 1St. He added that the annexation agreement was not clear
if the developer should have front-funded this money. The Attorney was asked to review
this matter.
Ms. Spears also said she had received two phone calls saying the new garbage containers
had not been received. The recycling containers are too large for the elderly residents to
lift and for some residents, they are too large to store in the garage. Another resident
Page 12 of 14
asked if her personal container rather than a container provided, could be used for
recycling, but a letter was received stating that a $5 fee would be assessed. Mr. Olson
said this fee was written in the contract. Ms. Spears asked the City to find out if personal
containers could be used.
In a related matter, Waste Management assured the City that their containers would be
picked up, however, that has not occurred. Since then, the company said they would
provide pickup on May 9`h and 10`h. Veolia has now told the City they would pick up the
Waste Management containers if they are placed at the curb. Alderman Munns suggested
callers be referred to Waste Management and that the City not allow them to bid again.
In another matter, Alderman Spears asked if the agreement for the property on Gawne
Lane near the Bruell St. station had been resolved since it was signed on November 23,
2004. The street improvements are not likely to be completed until the next fiscal year.
This was related to the pump station project. She suggested the City should find the
money to make these improvements since the property is landlocked and she does not
feel the residents should have to wait any longer. The cost is thought to be $30,000 and
should come from the general fund according to Travis Miller. Ms. Spears was
concerned that the City is making promises to residents and not honoring them. She
asked City staff to work with the residents to resolve this matter. Mayor Burd asked
Alderman Golinski and Plocher to assist.
Alderman Golinski said a resident in his ward had a water backup problem and that the
City staff responded very well. He thanked Eric Dhuse and his staff for providing
excellent customer service. The problem resulted from a sewer collapsing during work
for the In-Town Road Program.
Alderman Munns asked when the Rt. 34 and Sycamore traffic signal would be installed
since he is receiving emails every day. IDOT approval is needed according to Joe
Wywrot and he added that it is on hold pending receipt of money owed from Ocean
Atlantic. Mr. Munns said this light is critical due to several near-miss accidents. The
Finance Director was asked to find the funds and this matter will be brought back to the
June 19`h C.O.W.
(out ofsequence)
CITY TREASURER:
1. Annual Police Pension Statement
Mr. Powell presented a handout to the Council and said that earlier this fiscal year, he
was requested to submit a report of Police Pension standings. He said the pension fund
converted to a private pension in 2001 or 2002 and had been underfunded since 2003 at a
rate of 15.2% and in April 2006 it was funded at 31 .5%. This indicates progress. He
Page 13 of 14
added that some municipalities do not fund the pensions at all, however, it is an
obligation of the City according to Mr. Powell.
For fiscal year `07/'08 he said $275,000 was budgeted. In May, there will be two police
officers on pension. As salaries increase, the tax levy will need to be increased each year.
He said this item was for information and did not require approval.
John Crois said that the State of Illinois recently conducted a study of police and fire
pensions and found they were not well-funded. Part of the problem is tax caps and limits
on tax levies. There is legislation in Springfield to remove the tax caps from pension
funds. He complimented the City on their handling of the pension funds.
No further action was needed.
In another matter, Mr. Powell said the new Aldermen would need to sign the bank
signature documents for Castle and Old Second.
Other Additional Business
Bart Olson said there would be landfill meetings next week to discuss deliberations of the
Council. A decision on the landfill will be needed May 291h
Mr. Olson also reported on the search for a new City Administrator and told the Council
about the activities that would occur during the decision-making process. Mayor Burd
said she would like to follow the recommended process to obtain the most qualified
candidate.
It was noted by Alderman Plocher that Bill Dettmer had met with Mr. Hamman on May
9th and he wondered when the report would be received. It will be available in a day
according to Mr. Crois.
Mayor Burd said several residents near her residence asked for signs that say "local
traffic only" during the street construction. Residents on Heustis asked for "one way"
signs during the construction time. Mr. Dhuse said a substance had been applied to
control the dust and he said the contractor should be finished there next week.
Ms. Burd also said the Police Department has ordered cones that say "drivers must stop
for pedestrians in crosswalks" and they will be placed near the Pride Pantry on Rt. 47.
The police can ticket drivers who do not stop.
The Mayor said she had attended a recent Library Board meeting and presented them a
proposal regarding the Old Barn Museum in Newark. The museum has 6,000 Indian
Page 14 of 14
artifacts in this private collection that can also be viewed on a website. Ms. Burd said
the Executive Director, the owner' s daughter, met with her after the elections and
suggested a partnership with the City to display some of the artifacts in the City. Mayor
Burd said it would be an honor to display these items. Since the Father's health is not
the best at this time, he is not able to offer tours as much. The Director is looking for
partners and trying to find grants as well as display cases for the artifacts. The Library
was very receptive to this proposal and they will visit the museum.
There was no further additional business and the meeting was adjourned at 11 :25pm.

Council on Consent Agenda.
3, ADM 2007-26 Comp Time Discussion — Decreasing the amount of hours was
discussed as well as the amount of time for a grace period for employees to utilize
their comp time or cash it out. It was thought a decrease to 120 hours was enough.
This will come back in July.

requested from all employees who are required to drive on city time. There would be
a 24 hour notice of a suspension or revocation of a driver's license. Discipline would

There would be more privacy if the residents received bills that were either folded in
half and tabbed shut, or folded and stuffed into envelopes. Susan Mika is looking into
a machine that will fold and stuff the envelopes for bills and payroll already, and the
city utility bills could be run on the same machine. The consensus was to fold and
stuff the bills into envelopes. Susan Mika will keep the Council updated on the
implementation of this machine.

firm to perform the audit. This will move on to City Council on Consent Agenda.

CC:
Subject: Governing Ordinance changes
At the June 19th COW meeting, I proposed that the current language in the ordinance .-
regarding committee chairmen and vice-chairmen be removed and replaced with the language in
the old (currently approved) ordinance. After reviewing the proposed ordinance, I decided it was
cleaner to remove all references to the committee chairmen and vice-chairmen, and add language
regarding the chairmen at a later date. The chairmanship discussions will be placed on a
committee of the whole agenda in July for discussion.
After the COW meeting, I also realized that little reference was made to Committee of
the Whole — so I added references to the Committee of the Whole in the final section of the
ordinance (Standing Committees). I have included clean and track changes versions of the
ordinance, as well as the original June 5th memo which outlines the committee rosters.

Whereas, the City Council of the United City of Yorkville, in accordance with Illinois Compiled
State Statutes, has the right to determine procedures for organizing and conducting all meetings
of the City Council acknowledging that the City is bound by certain state and federal laws as
well as legal precedents which cannot be supplanted by City Ordinance; and
Whereas, in keeping with this right, the City Council has adopted Roberts Rules of Order to
outline the procedure to be followed during meetings and to regulate the actions of Council
members and the public in attendance at such meetings; and
Whereas, the Council has determined that, to further ensure the orderly flow of information
presented at its meetings and to protect the integrity of all in attendance at such meetings, it
requires an additional written policy to clarify and amend Roberts Rules; and
Whereas, the Council has undertaken to compile a list of ethical standards for City elected
officials which the Council wishes to be included in its written policy, and
Whereas, the Council also has determined that it is in the best interests of all members of the
City Council and the residents of the United City of Yorkville that said policy should include
guidelines that clarify the duties and rights of aldermen and the mayor as elected officials of the
United City of Yorkville; and
Whereas, the Council also requires said policy to officially establish standing committees of the
Council and to outline procedures for the organization of said committees, including the
selection of membership and chairmen of said committees, so that membership and chairmanship

City business;

Whereas, the City Council of the United City of Yorkville, in accordance with Illinois Compiled
State Statutes, has the right to determine procedures for organizing and conducting all meetings
of the City Council acknowledging that the City is bound by certain state and federal laws as
well as legal precedents which cannot be supplanted by City Ordinance; and
Whereas, in keeping with this right, the City Council has adopted Roberts Rules of Order to
outline the procedure to be followed during meetings and to regulate the actions of Council
members and the public in attendance at such meetings; and
Whereas, the Council has determined that, to further ensure the orderly flow of information
presented at its meetings and to protect the integrity of all in attendance at such meetings, it
requires an additional written policy to clarify and amend Roberts Rules; and
Whereas, the Council has undertaken to compile a list of ethical standards for City elected
officials which the Council wishes to be included in its written policy, and
Whereas, the Council also has determined that it is in the best interests of all members of the
City Council and the residents of the United City of Yorkville that said policy should include
guidelines that clarify the duties and rights of aldermen and the mayor as elected officials of the
United City of Yorkville; and
Whereas, the Council also requires said policy to officially establish standing committees of the
Council and to outline procedures for the organization of said committees, including the
selection of membership and chairmen of said committees, so that membership and chairmanship

City business;

Subject: Committee structure
At the May 151h COW meeting, consensus direction was given to draft an amendment to
the governing ordinance for the purpose of changing the committee structure. This amendment
contains two major components. The first is the committee meeting structure. The consensus
direction given was as follows:
In Tuesday 2° Tuesday J 3` Tuesday 4 Tuesday
Administration at 7 p.m. COW at 7 p.m. and Economic Development at 7 p.m. COW at 7 p.m. and
Public Works at 7 p.m. City Council Public Safety at 7 p.m. City Council
immediately after immediately after
COW COW
In order to facilitate simultaneous meetings, the following committee rosters are presented for
your consideration by the Mayor. These rosters are very similar to the rosters discussed at the
May 151h COW meeting.
Administration Public Works Economic Development Public Safety
I" Tuesday Is' Tuesday 3`d Tuesday 3rd Tuesday
Ward 1 Wally Ward 1 Jason Ward 1 Jason [c] Ward 1 Wally
Ward 2 Gary Ward 2 Joe P Ward 2 Gary Ward 2 Joe P
Ward 3 Marty [c] Ward 3 Robyn Ward 3 Marty Ward 3 Robyn
Ward 4 Rose Ward 4 Joe B [c] Ward 4 Joe B Ward 4 Rose [c]
The second component to the amendment is how agenda items are approved in committee. The
discussion at the May 151h COW meeting involved drafting a section of the ordinance that would
require all agenda items to receive three votes of approval in a committee meeting before it was
placed on a City Council agenda. Both components are reflected in the draft ordinance
amendment that is attached.
Finally, there has been some question as to how agenda items will proceed forward from
COW to City Council; my recommendation is that each agenda item should be treated on a case-
by-case basis. The reason for my recommendation lies in the fact that the new committee
structure should allow most agenda items to be discussed at length. After the vote of approval by
committee, the committee members should have a good idea as to how lengthy the
corresponding COW and City Council discussion should be. It is my recommendation that each
item that is approved to move forward be tagged with a COW and City Council agenda date. For
instance, if the committee feels that future discussion will be limited, it can schedule the item for
COW and City Council on the same night; if the committee feels that discussion will be
extensive, it should assign only a COW date and allow the COW to decide when it should go
forward for a vote. The fall-back scenario of agenda item scheduling is to always schedule items
for COW and City Council on the same night, and allow the agenda items to be
tabled/postponed.
On a final, specific note, the bill list procedure does not need to change. At a staff level,
the Finance department can continue to collect bills with their current deadlines. Instead of
placing the bill list on the COW agenda one week and the City Council agenda the next week (as
is currently done), the bill list can be distributed one week prior to the City Council agenda
(when it would have been distributed with a COW packet) as a separate document, and can be
listed on the COW agenda and City Council agenda on the same night.
