We have recently re-visited the site and note that there are no new outstanding issues as it relates to the public improvements. Please note that the bond recommended to be released is in the name of the previous developer and at the recent issues regarding grading and erosion control were the result of the builder that had purchased the majority of remaining lots within the development. As we understand it, the grading is now complete and the disturbed area has been seeded. Therefore at this time, we are in support of releasing the bond, Lexon Insurance Co.

PW 2013-53 Majority Approval See attached memo. Bart Olson Administration Name Department Summary Approval of an engineering agreement with EEI to manage the completion of the infrastructure in Raintree Village Units 4, 5, and 6. Background The City Council approved an amended annexation agreement for the Raintree Village subdivision in August. One provision of the agreement gave the City unfettered access to the SSA funds for completion of infrastructure and the obligation to complete the infrastructure. In order to complete the infrastructure in Units 4, 5, and 6, the City will need to approve an engineering agreement with EEI (attached). The cost of the engineering agreement will be covered by SSA funds, and is within the City’s preliminary project cost estimate. A tentative project schedule is appended to the engineering agreement. While the timing of specific items will not be known for a few more months, we expect the majority of construction to occur during the 2014 construction season. Recommendation Staff recommends approval of the engineering agreement with EEI for the completion of infrastructure within Raintree Village Units 4, 5, and 6.

PW 2013-55 Majority Consideration of Approval Yield Sign Installation Recommendations Brad Sanderson Engineering Name Department As requested, we investigated the possible installation of yield signs at several locations throughout the City. All of the locations investigated are currently uncontrolled. The governing entity on traffic control signage is the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD). The manual states the following in regards to yield sign installation: Guidance: Engineering judgment should be used to establish intersection control. The following factors should be considered: A. Vehicular, bicycle, and pedestrian traffic volumes on all approaches; B. Number and angle of approaches; C. Approach speeds; D. Sight distance available on each approach; and E. Reported crash experience. YIELD or STOP signs should be used at an intersection if one or more of the following conditions exist: A. An intersection of a less important road with a main road where application of the normal right-of-way rule would not be expected to provide reasonable compliance with the law; B. A street entering a designated through highway or street; and/or C. An unsignalized intersection in a signalized area. In addition, the use of YIELD or STOP signs should be considered at the intersection of two minor streets or local roads where the intersection has more than three approaches and where one or more of the following conditions exist: A. The combined vehicular, bicycle, and pedestrian volume entering the intersection from all approaches averages more than 2,000 units per day; B. The ability to see conflicting traffic on an approach is not sufficient to allow a road user to stop or yield in compliance with the normal right-of-way rule if such stopping or yielding is necessary; and/or C. Crash records indicate that five or more crashes that involve the failure to yield the right-of- way at the intersection under the normal right-of-way rule have been reported within a 3-year period, or that three or more such crashes have been reported within a 2-year period. Memorandum To: Bart Olson, City Administrator From: Brad Sanderson, EEI CC: Eric Dhuse, Director of Public Works Krysti Barksdale-Noble, Community Dev. Dir. Lisa Pickering, Deputy City Clerk Date: November 12, 2013 Subject: Uncontrolled Intersections Attached are location investigation worksheets along with exhibits that analyze the intersections against the above noted criteria. To summarize, we are recommending the following: 1. State yield to W. Ridge 2. Adams yield to Madison 3. Bruell yield to E. Main 4. Oakwood yield to E. Main 5. Independence yield to Cannonball Tr. 6. Cottonwood yield to Diehl Farm 7. Cottonwood/Chestnut yield to John St. 8. Chestnut yield to Sycamore 9. White Plains yield to Iroquois 10. Willow/Evergreen yield to John St. 11. W. Main yield to King 12. Walsh Drive yield to Walsh Circle/Walsh Drive 13. Lower Adams yield to W. Van Emmon Please place on the agenda for the next available Public Works Committee meeting for consideration.

Administrator Olson wrote last year's goals on the board and stated there is a memo in the packet that has a detailed overview of last year's goals. In the memo it states if the goals were satisfied and where staff thinks the goals should go based on comments from last year. 1. Build fund balance - The fund balance got above 15%. 2. Road improvement maintenance program - Road improvement maintenance program was created but not fully funded. 3. Police staffing levels - Nothing was done with police staffing levels. 4. Economic development - Businesses are moving into town. 5. Downtown improvement - About half of the downtown property maintenance cleanup was completed. 6. Stricter code enforcement on all property maintenance - The City issued many more tickets this year. 7. Capital Improvement Planning (River Road Bridge in 2013) - This process was started when doing the budget last year. This will be the focus of next year. 8. Website improvement - This hasn't been done but will probably be in the admin department budget request for next year. 9. Sidewalk Improvement Maintenance Program - This was discussed but shifted away from the 50/50 program to doing an entire block length. That is targeted for this year. 10. Home Rule Referendum - That was voted down by the City Council. 11. Public riverfront improvement - Several things have been done at the riverfront. 12. Tourism 13. Metra extension 14. Community outreach - This was done well on Route 47. 15. Elected official referendum planning - The City decided not to do it after it was voted down. 16. Updating technology in chamber - This hasn't been done yet but will probably get tied in with website improvement. The 2013 / 2014 goals were then discussed among the aldermen: 1. Empty Commercial Storefronts 2. Police staffing levels 3. Website improvements 4. A/V in chamber - City Council meetings recording 5.

Employee salary survey (city wide) 18. Downtown business outreach 19. Continue to decrease our property taxes 20. School intergovernmental agreement 21. Seasonal special events 22. 4th of July involvement 23. Master facility planning 24. BUILD program 25. Downtown property acquisition 26. Old jail (sell) 27. Caboose (sell) 28. Furniture improvements 29. City Hall improvements 30. Trees The Department Heads discussed their priorities for 2013 / 2014 fiscal year. Finance Director Fredrickson stated that long term the accounting software needs to be looked at. The cost would be around $20,000 to $30,000. Police Chief Hart stated the main issue is personnel and equipment issues. Superintendent of Parks Sleezer stated staffing is an issue. There are some software issues also. He would like to upgrade the playground safety inspection to digital. The City also needs to take a solid look at grants. City Administrator Olson said lots of park equipment is needed. Superintendent of Parks Sleezer shared his vision for Beecher Park. City Administrator Olson mentioned the Beecher Center renovation which was discussed. Mayor Golinski would like to see Bridge Park expanded. Alderman Teeling discussed a dog park and that many people have showed interest in having one. EEI Engineer Sanderson said he and Public Works Director Dhuse have been working on a five year capital improvement program. Superintendent of Recreation Evans said a big thing for his department is the City website for they are going to go to online registration. He stated parking was a huge problem. A playground in west downtown would be useful. If the City wants to expand events then staffing would have to be increased. His department could use a vehicle of some sort to transport heavier equipment to events. Administrative Intern Weckbach discussed the possibility of digitizing packets for meeting. Mayor Golinski mentioned staffing for the Clerk's office, also. Public Works Director Dhuse reiterated the capital improvement program. Personnel is needed. He discussed the department building and would like to look at a possible City wide employee mechanic and building maintenance person. Community Development Director Barksdale-Noble would like everything digitized in the community development and building department. When that occurs, the storage area can be cleaned out. She wants to get a permitting and community development software for her department. She needs to increase her professional services budget. Staffing is needed. She would like to have the GIS data updated and on site. She would like a forester on site, which could be shared with Public Works. Building Code Official Ratos stated they are looking into specific software that would allow residents to go online and file complaints. They could tag a location of where they are on their phone and submit it. It would allow them to track their complaint. He stated they are hiring a part time building inspector. This should even out the work load for his department. It was decided that rating the priorities like last year using the 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 plan was a good idea. City Administrator Olson started an automation list acknowledging staffing. The big thing the Council talked about for next year's budget proposal was capital improvement planning. The first draft of the budget, if The Minutes of the Special Meeting of the City Council – November 2, 2013 – Page 3 of 3 the Council wants a sustainable budget over five years, the City basically can afford police departments and a website upgrade but almost none of the other things. Long term he is trying to get money towards automation and technology, permeating software, and GIS. Things that don't cost the City health insurance, pension costs, and long term legacy cost of employees. Then after the City has automated as much as possible, a decision needs to be made as to what the City needs from a staff level. Once the City sets staffing then that is 80% of the City's costs. The City won't be able to nickel and dime discretionary funds. His goal is to lock everything else down in the budget operationally and then say here are the City's capital needs. What does the Council want to pay for them. That is his recommendation for strategy when ranking these items. Push everything towards automation, then staffing, and then it is capital. City Administrator Olson consolidated the items and went over what he consolidated. He pointed out last year's goals that were on the board which the Council did not address this year. He asked if any of the alderman wanted to add those items to this year's goal setting. The alderman went over those issues. The alderman then took time to rank the 2013 / 2014 goals from highest to lowest priorities. 1. Police staffing - 75 2. Downtown - 54 3. Automation and technology - 49 4. South side economic development - 46 5. Staffing - 39 6. Capital infrastructure plan funding - 37 7. Debt reduction - 30 8. Employee salary survey - 24 9. Equipment - 21 10. Property taxes - 20 11. Comp plan - 9 12. Building needs - 9 13. Beecher - 7 14. Sell assets - 6 15. Seasonal events - 6 16. Park acquisitions - 5 17. Residential sidewalk - 2 18.

Bart Olson Administration Name Department Summary Approval of the 2013 tax levy ordinance, for property taxes payable in 2014. Background This item was last discussed by the City Council at the November 12 meeting, when a public hearing was held. The presentation from that meeting is attached. No citizens were present to comment. The attached ordinance for City Council consideration includes a tax levy for the City and Library operations (capped taxes) is $3,765,873. Per past practice and tax levy laws, the City expects the actual tax levy will be lower. In 2011, when the City was discussing property tax abatements and the FY 12 tax levy, the City unofficially adopted a plan to reduce its tax levy from FY 12 through FY 17 on account of the passage of the non-home rule sales tax referendum. This plan was amended as part of the FY 14 budget adoption, and is described as follows: 2.9% reduction in FY 14 (levy ordinances already approved by City Council) 2% reduction in FY 15 (ordinance under consideration) 1% reduction in FY 16 1% reduction in FY 17 1% reduction in FY 18 The above reduction schedule is reflected between the City property tax line-item (a calculation of the City uncapped taxes and City capped taxes) and the Library property tax-line-item (a calculation of the Library uncapped taxes and Library capped taxes. The 2% overall reduction between Library and City property taxes will be achieved by an estimated 2.77% increase in the capped taxes (Library operations tax plus all City capped taxes), a 5.24% decrease in the Library uncapped taxes (through refinancing), and a 31.1% decrease in the City uncapped taxes (through abating more bond-related taxes). This plan reflects the City’s overall policy direction to continue to levy the maximum allowed under tax cap laws and to continue to reduce the non-abated, bond-related property taxes. This direction gives the City more flexibility with its property tax dollars because it receives more unrestricted property taxes than it does restricted property taxes (i.e. bond-related). Memorandum To: City Council From: Bart Olson, City Administrator CC: Date: November 21, 2013 Subject: 2013 Tax Levy Details The FY 14 (2012 levy) certification from the County Clerk is attached to this memo. The first page contains all City (non-library) taxes, and the second page contains library taxes (operations and bonds for the building). If desired by the City, we could calculate a property tax cap for each page individually. Similar to last year, that conversation is moot for this year. Last levy year, the Library’s maximum tax levy only yielded $670,415, which was a decrease from their FY 13 amount of $691,905 and was below their FY 14 estimate of $700,000. During the FY 14 budget discussion, the City Council agreed to give the Library an additional ~$21,000 out of the City’s general fund so that the Library would not lose any money between FY 13 and FY 14. This year, that conversation is amplified because the expected further decrease in EAV means that the Library’s expected FY 15 levy will only be $646,010. This shortfall is a relatively moot point at tax levy time, however, because of the City’s over-arching policy direction to maximize the amount of capped taxes and to decrease the uncapped taxes to achieve the overall property decrease of 2%. In short, we’ll ask for more than we think we can get on the Library and City capped taxes, and direct all new property tax amounts to the Library to make them whole and to put the rest into the Police Pension Fund to pay down past shortfalls in the City contribution. The breakdown of the sublevies is attached for your review. The County’s current EAV estimate is $430,673,222 which is a 2.81% decrease from last year. The City does not need to decide how much general fund money to give to the Library until the FY 15 budget is approved. The abatement ordinances for the non-abated (uncapped) City property taxes do not have to be voted on until January or February, and are on the November Administration Committee agenda. Homeowner Impact The property tax bill lists the City and the Library as two different levies. The City (capped and uncapped) levy request will be 1.08% lower than it was in 2012 levy year (payable in 2013). The Library (capped and uncapped) will be 4.12% lower than it was in 2012 levy year (payable in 2013). Based on those two statements only, the amount that each property owner pays to the City and to the Library should be lower than the prior tax bill. For reasons 1 explained within the public hearing presentation, this may not be the case for every property owner. Also, because the total EAV of the City has decreased at a rate greater than the rate of our property tax reductions, the tax rate itself will go up. Recommendation The staff recommendations for aggregate levy amounts are below, and they have remained unchanged since their initial estimate in October. The breakdown of the individual sublevies is attached to this memo and reflects the policy decisions the City Council has made as part of the FY 14 budget approval. 1 Assessment reductions or increases of your property compared to all other properties in Yorkville. 2012 Levy Extension 2013 Maximum Levy (Estimate) 2013 Levy Recommended Amount City and Library Operations (Capped) 3,497,498 3,594,205 3,765,873 City Bonds (Uncapped) 486,150 N / A 334,814 Library Bonds (Uncapped) 771,801 N / A 731,321 Totals 4,755,449 N / A 4,832,008 Ordinance No. 2013-____ Page 1 STATE OF ILLINOIS ) ) ss.

Linden & Sons City Council – November 26, 2013 N / A Majority Approval See attached memo. Bart Olson Administration Name Department Summary Approval of a mowing settlement agreement with H. Linden & Sons for a mowing ticket. Background Earlier in the year, H. Linden & Sons received a mowing ticket for a vacant lot in the Blackberry Woods subdivision. The adjudication judgment was finalized in October for $2,400. Subsequent to the judgment, representatives from H. Linden & Sons reached out to the City and acknowledged their failure to mow, accepted their responsibility to mow going forward and indicated a willingness to settle (rather than litigate) their existing tickets. The attached settlement agreement is substantially similar to the agreement approved at a recent City Council meeting for the lots in Fox Hill owned by Timber Glenn and in Grande Reserve by Gladstone Builders. It settles the open fine amounts for a reduced sum. The agreement includes a direct acknowledgment of the property owner’s obligation to maintain the property. The agreement includes two different notification procedures; by email resulting in an automatic fine of $150 per lot per day for noncompliance, or the normal notification procedure. Keeping the normal notification procedure is important because it gives staff the option to seek a fine higher than $150 per lot per day or in case of staff error. Recommendation Staff recommends approval of the mowing settlement agreement with H. Linden & Sons. Memorandum To: City Council From: Bart Olson, City Administrator CC: Date: November 20, 2013 Subject: Mowing settlement agreement 1 SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT This SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is made between UNITED CITY OF YORKVILLE, an Illinois municipal corporation located at 800 Game Farm Road, Yorkville, Illinois 60560 (“YORKVILLE”) and H.

Subsequent to the judgment, representatives from Meadowbrook reached out to the City and acknowledged their failure to mow, accepted their responsibility to mow going forward and indicated a willingness to settle (rather than litigate) their existing tickets. The attached settlement agreement is substantially similar to the agreement approved at a recent City Council meeting for lots in the Fox Hill subdivision owned by Timber Glenn and for lots in the Grande Reserve subdivision owned by Gladstone Builders. It settles the open fine amounts for a reduced sum. The agreement includes a direct acknowledgment of the property owner’s obligation to maintain the property. The agreement includes two different notification procedures; by email resulting in an automatic fine of $150 per lot per day for noncompliance, or the normal notification procedure. Keeping the normal notification procedure is important because it gives staff the option to seek a fine higher than $150 per lot per day or in case of staff error. Recommendation Staff recommends approval of the mowing settlement agreement with Meadowbrook Builders, LLC.

Bart Olson Administration Name Department Summary Approval of a grant agreement and engineering agreement for the ITEP Downtown/Street Lighting grant project. Background The City applied for an ITEP Downtown Streetscape Grant in May 2012, and was notified earlier this year that the grant application had been successful. The original grant application was for a $932,700 project, of which we were committing $393,430 in local funds and seeking $539,270 in federal grants. Some of the items that we applied for were ruled ineligible for funding (benches, trash cans, planters, plantings ($128,000), and some items increased in unit cost (street lights are now $13,000 per light, as opposed to an estimate of $10,000 at time of grant application). The approved project costs are included in the packet from Mr. Sanderson. In total, the project will be $822,071, with $329,864 coming from the City and $492,270 from the grant. Out of the 40 street and pedestrian lights, 17 of them are in the TIF District. Additionally, a proportion of the costs associated with the electric lines (4,463 linear feet), the traffic control and protection and mobilization and 42% of the engineering costs can be attributed to the TIF district. In total, there are ~$340,000 in TIF eligible costs within the project, which means the City can pay it’s entire $329,864 local share with TIF funds. The project is currently funded in the FY 17 and FY 18 budget, out of the City-wide capital funds. For cost efficiency purposes, staff is recommending that we accelerate the project to FY 15 and FY 16 to take advantage of the Route 47 construction crews that are already in town. In order to do that, we would need an approved engineering and grant agreement by the end of this calendar year, and we would need to approve the FY 15 budget with the project expenses included. While this recommendation is preliminary, it would be my recommendation to take advantage of the TIF eligible costs and charge the entire local share out of the TIF fund. The FY 13 year-end balance is $247,000 in the downtown TIF fund, and I would expect that number to increase in FY 14 due to the unexpected increase in property taxes within the TIF. Even if the City has to cause the downtown TIF fund to go into deficit in the short term for this project, I recommend that we take advantage of the grant funding and accelerate the project. Recommendation Staff recommends approval of the draft engineering agreement and grant agreements.

Reviewed By: Legal Finance Engineer City Administrator Human Resources Community Development Police Public Works Agenda Item Number EDC #1 Tracking Number EDC 2013-34 Beekeeping within City Limits City Council/November 26, 2013 11/12/13 Tabled EDC 2013-34 Majority Vote Continued discussion of proposed ordinance to permit beekeeping within City limits. Krysti J. Barksdale-Noble, AICP Community Development Name Department As the City Council will recall, the proposed amendment to the City’s Building Code to allow limited beekeeping in certain residential and business districts as permitted accessory uses was postponed for vote to allow for additional time for public comment. Local Communities with Residential Beekeeping Ordinances To further assist in the discussion, staff has prepared the attached table of local communities we previously researched in formulating the proposed provisions to the ordinance. As indicated in the table, the five (5) Illinois communities initially researched allow residential beekeeping as a permitted use regulated by the issuance of a license or permit. However, three (3) communities, West Dundee, Oak Park and Skokie have a provision that takes into consideration neighboring property owners of potential beekeepers. According to West Dundee’s Beekeeping Ordinance, a courtesy notification is required to be sent to abutting property owners. This is consistent with staff’s proposed ordin ance and places the responsibility on the beekeeper to inform and educate their neighbors . However, there is no process in place for objectors to the application. The permitting process is administered through the Community Development Department. The Village of Oak Park’s ordinance stipulates that no beekeeping permit be issued within 150 feet of any address where a resident with an allergy to beestings, documented by a licensed physician, has registered with the Village. This requires the non-beekeeping residents to proactively register with the Village prior to the application and issuance of a permit. It is unclear if such a resident moves to an area where an existing hive has a permit and subsequently registers with the City if the beekeeper looses th eir permit or is not allowed to renew. The beekeeping permits are issued through the Village’s Health Department. Finally, the Village of Skokie, which recently passed its ordinance but had been debating the issue for months, requires the applicant for a beekeeping permit to submit written consent for all neighbors who abut the subject property; however notification is not required for renewal of an existing permit. While there is no public hearing process, the onus again is on the applicant to make contact with their neighbors to gain consent prior to approving a permit. If there is an objection and a neighbor refuses to provide written consent, the permit would be denied. Further, if the surrounding properties ownership changes after the issuance of the permit, there is no additional obligation of the beekeeper to obtain their consent. Additional Research Milwaukee, WI Staff also researched the City of Milwaukee, Wisconsin in our initial review. While beekeeping is considered a permitted residential use, notification of residents within 200 feet of the subject property is required and sent by the City’s Department of Neighborhood Services Environmental Section. Surrounding property owners have 14 working days to file an objection and request a hearing if they are opposed to the Memorandum To: City Council From: Krysti J. Barksdale-Noble, Community Development Director CC: Bart Olson, City Administrator Date: November 6, 2013 Subject: Beekeeping within City Limits granting of the permit. The Milwaukee Health Department Commissioner then holds a hearing and makes final determination regarding the application. Milwaukee, which has a population of approximately 600,000 residents, has issued roughly twelve (12) residential beekeeping permits since approving the ordinance in 2010. Beekeepers are also required to provide proof of urban apiculture training – the art of raising and caring for bees in a city setting. Schaumburg, IL After the last City Council meeting, staff was able to find a community that identifies residential beekeeping as a Special Use. The Village of Schaumburg views the special use process as a way to inform neighbors of the proposed bee hive so objections can be voices during a public hearing before the Zoning Board of Appeals with final approval by the Schaumburg Village Board. The fee for the special use review, without guarantee of an approval, is $603 and does not include the cost for certified mailings to neighboring property owners within 150 feet. According to Schaumburg’s Community Development Department, the Village has had the ordinance in place for decades and has had only one (1) application for Special Use which will be heard in December. The Village, however, has a “bee yard” which is located in a vacant lot on the municipal grounds where residents can keep bees and harvest honey for free. This “bee yard” functions similarly to a community garden and was constructed by the Village of Schaumburg for approximately $4,500.00 and currently has three (3) users. Staff Comments It is still staff’s opinion that limited beekeeping /bee colonies is an accessory use/structure and should be viewed in a manner similar to that of other permitted accessory uses/structures (sheds, pools, etc.). These permitted uses/structures are regulated; require inspections; and issuance of a permit which can be revoked at anytime should there be a violation. However, neighbor notification should be a part of the ordinance and staff continues to support the originally proposed affidavit of notification provision as it is consistent with a majority of other Illinois communities with similar ordinances. It should be clear that while a Special Use process does allow for the neighboring residents to express their concerns of the proposed beekeeping use, their objection should not be the only grounds for denying an application to ensure the intent of the Special Use process – balancing the rights of the property owner, the appropriateness of the use in the current zoning district, and the overall health, safety and general welfare of the larger community – remains in tack. Copies of the aforementioned communities’ ordinances have been attached for your review. Staff will be available at Tuesday night’s meeting to answer any questions the City Council may have regarding this agenda item.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED by the Mayor and City Council of the United City of Yorkville, Kendall County, Illinois, as follows: Section 1: That Title 8 of the United City of Yorkville Code of Ordinances is hereby amended by adding Chapter 18 to read as follows: CHAPTER 18 BEEKEEPING 8-18-1: Definitions As used in this chapter, the following words and terms shall have the meanings ascribed in this section unless the context of their usage clearly indicates another meaning: A. Apiary means the assembly of one (1) or more colonies of bees at a single location. B. Beekeeper means a person who owns or has charge of one (1) or more colonies of bees. C. Beekeeping equipment means anything that is used in the operation of an apiary, such as hive bodies, supers, frames, tops and bottom boards, and extractors. D. Colony or hive means an aggregate of bees consisting principally of workers, but having, when perfect, one (1) queen and at times many drones; including brood, combs, honey, and the receptacle inhabited by the bees.

Tract means a contiguous parcel of land under common ownership. 8-18-2: Certain conduct declared unlawful. A. The keeping by any person of honeybee colonies in the City is prohibited except in compliance with this Chapter or upon any property zoned for agricultural uses. B. The purpose of this article is to establish certain requirements of sound beekeeping practices, which are intended to avoid problems that may otherwise be associated with the keeping of bees in populated areas. C. Notwithstanding compliance with the various requirements of this Chapter, it shall be unlawful for any beekeeper to keep any colony or colonies in such a manner or of such disposition as to cause any unhealthy condition, interfere with the normal enjoyment of human or animal life of others, or interfere with the normal use and enjoyment of any public property or property of others. 8-18-2: Annual Licensing A. Beekeeping shall be allowed as a permitted accessory use on any Estate, One-Family or Two-Family Residence District or Business District zoned property pursuant to this Chapter. Beekeepers shall apply within 90 days for a City beekeeping license upon bringing any new colony into the City. For bee colonies existing within the City prior to the effective date of this Section, beekeepers shall have thirty (30) days from the date this Section goes into effect to apply for a City beekeeping license. Applications shall be submitted to the Community Development Director or his/her designee. At the time of application for a City beekeeping license, the applicant shall: 1.

Provide courtesy notices of his plan to keep bees to any property owner with land abutting the yard in which the hives will be located. The beekeeper should be prepared to provide information and resources to neighbors to help educate and alleviate any fears. B. The City beekeeping license shall be renewed each year by submitting a renewal application to the Community Development Director or his/her designee no more than two (2) weeks prior to the one year anniversary date of the then current City beekeeping license. At the time of applying for a renewal City beekeeping license, the applicant shall Ordinance No. 2013-____ Page 4 submit the same documents except courtesy notices, comply with the same requirements, and pay a twenty five dollar ($25.00) fee. 8-18-3: Hive type. All honeybee colonies shall be kept in Langstroth type hives with removable frames, which shall be kept in sound and usable condition. 8-18-4: Fencing of flyways, distance from property lines. A. In each instance in which any colony is situated within twenty-five (25) feet of a public or private property line of the tract upon which the apiary is situated, as measured from the nearest point on the hive to the property line, the beekeeper shall establish and maintain a flyway barrier at least six (6) feet in height consisting of a solid wall, fence, dense vegetation, or combination thereof that is parallel to the property line and extends ten (10) feet beyond the colony in each direction so that all bees are forced to fly at an elevation of at least six (6) feet above ground level over the property lines in the vicinity of the apiary.

establish up to two honeybee colonies as long as the apiary meets specific Village code requirements. Beekeepers must register with the Illinois Department of Agriculture, provide an on-site water source for the bees, keep records of hive maintenance, provide a flyaway barrier and surround the apiary with dense vegetation or a fence at least five feet high. Beekeepers also must apply for an annual permit, pay a $75 fee and have their properties inspected by the Department of Public Health before a permit will be issued. A beekeeping permit will not be issued for an apiary within 150 feet of any address where a resident with an allergy to bee stings documented by a licensed physician has registered with the Village.

The attached staff memorandum and draft ordinance provides guidelines and regulations for permitting beekeeping within City limits. During the EDC meeting, there was discussion related to potential concerns/objections of owners adjacent to the subject property applying for a beekeeping permit. Since it was the direction of the EDC to not have this form of “recreational” beekeeping as a Special Use, subject to a formal public hearing process, staff and the City Attorney drafted the regulations to only require the property owner to provide a courtesy notification to neighbors as an opportunity to not only inform, but educate the community. It is staff’s opinion that limited beekeeping /bee colonies is an accessory use/structure and should be viewed in a manner similar to that of other permitted accessory uses/structures (sheds, pools, etc.). These permitted uses/structures are regulated; require inspections; and issuance of a permit which can be revoked at anytime should there be a violation. However, neighbor approval is not required. Staff has modeled this ordinance to give upfront notification to abutting property owners of potential beekeeping activities and all attempts will be made to ensure that the general welfare of the public is considered as part of the review/approval process. Further, the ordinance can be revisited at anytime in the future should the City Council or staff see the need. Finally, it was also requested during the EDC meeting that staff make clear that the requirement for proof of State registration application was to be provided at time of permit application and registration substantiated within 90 days of City permit approval. This is to accommodate the delay typically experienced during this permitting process through the State. The proposed revised language has been added to the draft ordinance in Section 8-18-2-A-1 and reads as follows: At the time of application for a City beekeeping license, the applicant shall: Submit proof of application for registration of the colonies with the State of Illinois Department of Agriculture with registration provided within 90 days of permit approval. Staff will be available at Tuesday night’s meeting to answer any questions the City Council may have regarding this agenda item. Memorandum To: City Council From: Kryst i J.

All honeybee colonies shall be kept in Langstroth type hives with removable frames, which shall be kept in sound and usable condition. 8-18-4: Fencing of flyways, distance from property lines. A. In each instance in which any colony is situated within twenty-five (25) feet of a public or private property line of the tract upon which the apiary is situated, as measured from the nearest point on the hive to the property line, the beekeeper shall establish and maintain a flyway barrier at least six (6) feet in height consisting of a solid wall, fence, dense vegetation, or combination thereof that is parallel to the property line and extends ten (10) feet beyond the colony in each direction so that all bees are forced to fly at an elevation of at least six (6) feet above ground level over the property lines in the vicinity of the apiary. It is a defense against prosecution under this section that the property adjoining the apiary tract in the vicinity of the apiary is undeveloped property for a distance of at least twenty-five (25) feet from the property line of the apiary tract. B. Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (a) above, in no instance shall a colony be situated within twenty-five (25) feet of a dwelling on adjoining property. 8-18-5: Water. Each beekeeper shall ensure that a convenient source of water is available to the bees at all times during the year so that the bees will not congregate at swimming pools, bibcocks, pet watering bowls, birdbaths, or other water sources where they may cause human, bird, or domestic pet contact. 8-18-6: General maintenance. Each beekeeper shall ensure that no bee comb or other materials that might encourage robbing are left upon the grounds of the apiary site. Upon their removal from the hive all such materials shall promptly be disposed of in a sealed container or placed within a building or other beeproof enclosure. 8-18-7: Queens. All colonies shall be maintained with marked queens except commercial colonies on agriculturally zoned property. In any instance in which a colony exhibits unusually aggressive characteristics by stinging or attempting to sting without due provocation or exhibits an unusual disposition towards swarming, it shall be the duty of the beekeeper to promptly requeen the Ordinance No. 2013-____ Page 4 colony with another marked queen. Queens shall be selected from European stock bred for gentleness and nonswarming characteristics. 8-18-8: Colony densities. It shall be unlawful to keep more than the following number of colonies on any tract within the City, based upon the size or configuration of the tract on which the apiary is situated: A. One acre or less – no more than two (2) colonies. B. More than one acre – no more than eight (8) colonies. C. No hives are permitted on any part of the front yard or side yard including corner side yards. For each two (2) colonies there may be maintained upon the same tract one (1) nucleus colony in a hive structure not exceeding one (1) standard 9 5/8-inch (9.625”) depth 10-frame hive body with no supers attached as required from time to time for management of swarms. Each such nucleus colony shall be disposed of or combined with an authorized colony within thirty (30) days after the date it is required. 8-18-9: Marking hives, presumption of beekeeping. A. A small sign to announce “Bees on Premise” shall be posted at walkways or gates entrances to the rear yard of the tract to warn visitors to the property of the presence of bees. This sign shall not exceed two (2) square feet. B. It shall be presumed for purposes of this Chapter that the beekeeper is the person or persons who own or otherwise have the present right of possession and control of the tract upon which a hive or hives are situated. The presumption may be rebutted by a written agreement authorizing another person to maintain the colony or colonies upon the tract setting forth the name, address, and telephone number of the other person who is acting as the beekeeper. 8-18-10: Inspection. The Community Development Director or designees shall have the right to inspect any apiary between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. Where practicable, prior notice shall be given to the beekeeper if he resides at the apiary or if his name is marked on the hives. 8-18-11: Compliance.

Passed by the City Council of the United City of Yorkville, Kendall County, Illinois this _____ day of __________________, 2013. ______________________________ CITY CLERK ROSE ANN SPEARS ________ DIANE TEELING ________ KEN KOCH ________ JACKIE MILSCHEWSKI ________ CARLO COLOSIMO ________ JOEL FRIEDERS ________ CHRIS FUNKHOUSER ________ LARRY KOT ________ Approved by me, as Mayor of the United City of Yorkville, Kendall County, Illinois, this _____ day of __________________, 2013. ______________________________ MAYOR Per the direction given at last month’s Economic Development Committee (EDC) meeting, the City Attorney has prepared a draft ordinance which provides guidelines and regulations for permitting beekeeping within City limits. Below is a brief summary of some of the regulations proposed by staff and discussed during the October EDC meeting which has been incorporated into the attached ordinance: Zoning Requirements The ordinance allows for limited beekeeping on properties as a permitted accessory use within one and two-family residentially zoned properties, as well as within business districts. The residential zonings permitting beekeeping are: E-1 Estate District, R-1 One-Family Residential District, R-2 One-Family Residential District and the R-2D Duplex Two-Family Residential District. As proposed, multi-family residences (R-3 and R-4 General Family Residence Districts) will not be permitted to have bee colonies as an accessory use, due to the minimum 25 foot setback from adjoining properties and fencing for flyway requirements. The business/commercial zonings that are allowed to have beekeeping as an accessory use are: B-1 Limited Business District, B-2 General Business District, B-3 General Business District and B-4 Business District, as long as they can meet the minimum setbacks and fencing requirements. As noted in staff’s previous memo, the urban agricultural movement has also included “farm to table” restaurants which specialize in providing locally grown and organic ingredients in prepared meals to their consumers. In order to facilitate those efforts and plan for potential users in the future, staff has made provisions to allow limited beekeeping as an accessory use within the Business Districts which already allow restaurants and other complimentary uses such as bakeries, fruit and vegetable markets, health food stores, nurseries and orchards. These regulations will now become part of Title 8: Building Regulations of the City Code book. Traditional apiaries will remain a primary land use in the A-1 Agricultural District of the Zoning Ordinance and are not subject to these regulations. Licensing and Permits An annual license will be required for beekeeping and will require the applicant to provide proof registration with the State of Illinois Department of Agriculture; compliance with the Illinois Bees and Apiaries Act; payment of a fifty dollar ($50.00) initial application fee; and a courtesy notification to all property owners which abut the yard in which the hives are to be located of the applicants plan to keep bees on the premise. Since it was the consensus of the committee that the limited beekeeping should not require special use approval, this modified notification process provides any adjoining property owner an opportunity to discuss with the applicant their concerns, if any, related to the accessory use without a formal public Memorandum To: Economic Development Committee From: Krysti J. Barksdale-Noble, Community Development Director CC: Bart Olson, City Administrator Date: October 20, 2013 Subject: Beekeeping within City Limits hearing process. The applicant also has the chance to provide information and resources to their neighbors to help educate and alleviate any fears. All applicants will be required to renew their permits annually for a fee of $25.00 and submit the same documentation as originally provided, with the exception of the courtesy notifications. Further, it will be presumed that the applicant is the beekeeper for the property they are applying for a permit. If not, written authorization from the owner of record allowing the applicant to maintain the colonies shall be required. Fencing of Flyways/Distance from Property Lines As previously mentioned fencing of flyways and a minimum 25 foot distance setback from property lines and dwelling units of adjoining parcels will be required for permit approval of beekeeping. A six (6) foot tall flyway barrier consisting of a solid wall, fence, dense vegetation or a combination thereof which extends at least ten (10) feet beyond the colony in each direction must be provided to ensure clearance of adjacent properties during bee arrivals and departures from the colonies. An exception could be made for those properties adjacent to undeveloped land. Colony Densities Colonies will be limited to no more than two (2) for parcels one acre or less and no more than eight (8) colonies f or parcels of more than one acre. Hives are not permitted to be located within any part of the required front yard, side yard or corner side yard setback. Marking of Hives Signage will be required announcing “Bees on Premise” at the walkway(s) or entry gate(s) to the rear yard of the property where the bees are kept to warn visitors of the presence of bees. The sign will be exempt from the sign ordinance, meaning no additional sign permit is needed to install, and shall be no larger than two (2) square feet in area. Staff will be available at Tuesday night’s meeting to answer any additional questions the Committee may have regarding this agenda item. Staff was asked to research criteria for permitting residential beekeeping within Yorkville’s City limits. The practice of keeping bees for their honey is referred to as an “apiarian use”. Currently, this zoning ordinance allows this use only as part of the A-1 Agricultural District. However, the domestic breeding of honey bees on residentially zoned, and even commercially zoned, properties has become a popular movement towards sustainability as bees help to increase the number and quality of flowers, fruits and vegetables through pollination. Through our research of other communities in Illinois and other states, as well as from reliable sources on the topic of beekeeping such as the Illinois Department of Agriculture and the Illinois State Beekeepers Association, we have found the following areas typically regulated by local municipalities which permit residential beekeeping. Staff recommendations are also provided should the EDC consider an ordinance allowing residential apiaries: • Zoning Requirements – Zoning for non-agriculturally zoned apiaries are handled in a variety of ways in differing communities. Some communities which allow beekeeping as an outright use in residentially and commercially zoned districts require only a permit, while other communities identify apiaries as special uses requiring notification of surrounding property owners, a public hearing and formal board/council approval. o Staff is not opposed to either zoning classification for residential apiaries/beekeeping as an outright permitted use or special use; however, we do see merit to the notification of surrounding property owners and a public hearing process, if for the public education benefit. Conversely, having residential apiaries as a permitted use would also be acceptable through the building permitting process, as they are already sufficiently regulated by the State through registration and inspections (see “Hive Registration” and “General Maintenance” below). Both the building permitting process and Special Use permit approval can provide specific regulations and conditions for authorization of a residential apiary. Below are such regulation and/or conditions which should be considered when approving such a use:  Setbacks and Fencing – Setbacks for beekeeping colonies vary from as little as five (5) feet from any adjacent property line to as much as twenty five (25) feet, measured from the nearest point on the hive to the property line. There are also specific requirements for the installation of a “flyway barrier” made of at least six (6) foot high solid fencing or dense vegetation and a minimum of eight (8) feet in length to ensure clearance of adjacent properties during bee arrivals and departures from the colonies. Memorandum To: Economic Development Committee From: Krysti J. Barksdale-Noble, Community Development Director CC: Bart Olson, City Administrator Date: September 24, 2013 Subject: Beekeeping within City Limits  Signage – The requirement of prominent signage warning of the presence of a hive and bees is also typically required by other communities which permit residential beekeeping.  Availability of Water – It is also needed as part of an apiary that a convenient source of non-stagnant water is made available at all times to the bees in the colony to reduce the congregation of bees at other sources of standing water commonly located in residential areas such as swimming pools, pet water bowls, birdbaths, retention basins, etc.  Colony Densities – The general recommendation for the number of colonies on a tract of land less than one-acre within a residential zoning district is a maximum of two (2) colonies and no more than eight (8) colonies for a tract of land greater than one (1) acre. Each colony shall be no larger than a standard 9 5/8” depth 10-frame hive consisting of bees, comb, honey, pollen and brood as illustrated below. • Hive Registration – According to the Bees and Apiaries Act of the Illinois State Statues (510 ILCS 20/2) every person keeping one or more colonies of bees must register with the Illinois Department of Agriculture annually or within ten (10) days after acquiring ownership or possession of bees. The registration is free with the State and a registration number will be issued to the beekeeper for prominent display in the apiary or the hive itself. o Staff suggests requiring proof of registration with the State prior to issuance of approval from the City for any existing apiary and within sixty (60) days of obtaining a new application for beekeeping. The sixty (60) day timeframe is suggested as it takes approximately that amount of time to obtain the required State registration. • Permitting/Licensing – Unlike hive registration, the permitting or licensure is specific to the beekeeper and not necessarily the colonies. Typically, communities require the beekeeper to apply for a permit through the building or health department for a nominal fee. The application is required for new permits and annual renewals and assists in keeping track of beekeepers contact information as well as colony locations. General information required on permits/licenses includes: operators name(s) and contact information; physical address of apiary; and site map illustrating number, location, height and distance to adjacent property lines of colonies on the property. o Staff recommends a permit be required for all beekeepers with an annual renewal requirement. A fee of $50.00 is also suggested for new beekeeper applications and $25.00 for renewal. Permits would be non-transferrable and would require a new application if ownership of colonies changes or beekeeper relocates to another property within the City. • General Maintenance – The maintenance of bee colonies is an important aspect of the apiary operation, as it is critical to health of the bees and the general safety of the public. Maintenance requirements usually states the beekeeper must ensure that no bee comb or other materials that might encourage robbing (or scavenging by other animals) are left on the ground of the apiary site. All discarded material from the colonies will need to be promptly disposed of in a sealed container or within a bee-proof enclosure. o Inspections – Although the State of Illinois regularly inspect apiaries, staff recommends in on order to ensure maintenance requirements are adhered to, inspections by the building department be conducted as part of the initial permit and annually with the permit renewal. Staff also suggests the working with the Kendall County Health Department to determine if they would need to inspect the apiaries as well. o Compliance/Violations – It is staff’s recommendation that if an apiary within the City is not being properly maintained, operating without proper permits/licensure or is in violation of any other area of compliance, that a written notice or citation can be issued by the Building Department’s Code Enforcement Inspector and processes as any other property maintenance complaint through administrative adjudication. Attached are various sources of information gathered from other beekeeping permitted communities such as Evanston, Illinois and Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Staff is looking for general feedback from the Economic Development Committee whether an ordinance for residential beekeeping is appropriate for our City, and if so, direction regarding specific regulations as presented in this memorandum for permitting such a use. Should it be the committee be favorable to exploring permitting beekeeping within the city, staff and the City Attorney will prepare a draft ordinance for consideration at an upcoming City Council meeting. Staff will be available at Tuesday night’s meeting to answer any questions the Committee may have regarding this agenda item. Information maintained by the Legislative Reference Bureau Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide. Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

APIARY NEWS IN ILLINOIS COLONY COLLAPSE DISORDER REDUCING POTENTIAL BEE EXPOSURE TO PESTICIDES The Illinois Department of Agriculture, in cooperation with the Illinois State Beekeepers Association, has undertaken this project to assist in the possible reduction of honeybee exposure to various pesticides (herbicides, insecticides, fungicides, etc.). There have been some instances where honeybees have been exposed to these materials, at times with catastrophic impacts. In an effort to limit these exposures, the IDA is hoping to increase communication between the pesticide user community and the state's beekeepers. Pesticide applicators can now gain contact and locational information related to Illinois' beekeepers as well various pesticide-sensitive crops. An Illinois-specific internet site has been constructed and a link "button" (http://illinois.agriculture.purdue.edu/index.html) has been added on the right margin of the Department of Agriculture's home page which is accessible at http://www.agr.state.il.us/. The new Illinois DriftWatchTM internet site includes two main portals, one for pesticide-sensitive crop producers (including beekeepers) and another for pesticide applicators. The producer portal allows producers to register the types and locations of their pesticide-sensitive crops so that they can be viewed by potential pesticide applicators. The pesticide applicator portal allows applicators to register their service area which, in turn, will allow them to receive automatic notifications when pesticide- sensitive crop locations are added to the areas in which they work. The Department has already added the locations of many apiaries registered with the Department to the database and is promoting the use of the internet site to pesticide applicators at our Pesticide Safety Education Program clinics being held throughout the state from December through May. We are also working with our marketing bureau to help promote the use of the program by pesticide-sensitive crop producers. DESCRIPTION OF ILLINOIS BEES AND APIARIES POGRAM The Illinois Bees and Apiaries Program is designed to assist beekeepers throughout Illinois with the management and protection of honeybee colonies. The domestic honeybee plays a vital role in today's society. Due to the extensive problems caused by various diseases and pests of the honeybee, many feral or wild honeybees have been eliminated, which has had a significant negative impact on the pollination of flowering plants. Honeybees pollinate many of the plants which produce the food consumed by humankind. Examples of plants pollinated by honeybees include almonds, apples, blueberries, cucumbers, melons, and pumpkins. A lack of feral honeybees over the last several years has greatly increased the need for domestic honeybees to be used for the pollination of plants. Under the Illinois Bees and Apiaries Act, the Illinois Department of Agriculture (IDA) inspects Page 1of 2THE ILLINOIS BEES AND APIARIES PROGRAM 9/9/2013http://www.agr.state.il.us/programs/bees/ honeybee colonies as a service to the beekeeping industry. The purpose of the inspections is to determine the general health of honeybee colonies. During the course of an inspection, IDA Apiary Inspectors closely examine beehives to detect diseases and pests and to provide advice on needed treatments. Inspections are provided free of charge to beekeepers around the state. The Act also requires beekeepers to register their colonies with the IDA. Registration is as simple as completing a brief one-page form and mailing it to the IDA. A registration certificate is provided to beekeepers who register with the IDA. There is also no charge for registering honeybee colonies with the IDA. A new invasive species, the small hive beetle (SHB), entered Illinois in 2001 and has the potential to adversely impact the honeybee industry. The SHB originated in Africa and the first beehive infestation in the United States was discovered in Florida in 1998. It has since expanded its territory into many states, including Illinois. Damage from the SHB occurs in the honeybee hive and in the surplus honey that beekeepers harvest. Currently, the SHB is present at isolated locations in Bureau, Cook, Effingham, Grundy, Henry, Jackson, Kankakee, Lake, Livingston, Logan, McHenry, McLean, Sangamon, St. Clair, Vermilion, Will, Whiteside, Counties. Beekeepers are urged to monitor their hives closely for the SHB and to contact the IDA if they suspect the SHB in their colonies.

Page 2of 2THE ILLINOIS BEES AND APIARIES PROGRAM 9/9/2013http://www.agr.state.il.us/programs/bees/ Setting Up Your Apiary -- any place where one or more colonies of bees are kept -- by Carl Wenning Heart of Illinois Beekeepers’ Association Copyright 1999, 2012 Carl J. Wenning What to Look For There are several things to look for as you attempt to locate the ideal apiary site: sources of nectar, pollen, and water. Even in town nectar and pollen are relatively abundant. Many flowers, fruits, vegetables, trees, bushes, and weeds provide abundant sources of pollen and nectar, and bees will forage from areas in excess of 10 square miles around the hive to obtain them. If no natural source of water is available, set out water for your bees so they don’t pester your neighbors’ watering tanks, swimming pools, bird baths, or leaky faucets. A pan of water filled with gravel to keep the bees from drowning works well. Additionally, your chosen location should have a wind break to protect the bees from the cold prevailing winds of winter. Wind breaks also can shelter your apiary from view. You don’t want broadcast the location of your hives to the general public. Even though many people are afraid to approach bee hives, many others are not. Unfortunately, theft of a whole group of hives and massive vandalism are not unheard of among beekeepers. Situate your hives in hidden-away locations. No need to advertise for trouble. A good mixture of sunlight and shade to protect the colonies from the intense heat of the late afternoon summer sun is also helpful. Colonies that receive either too much or too little sunlight under produce those with a nice mixture. When setting out your hives, avoid low spots where moisture and cold can accumulate. What to Look Out For You may generally choose to set up your hives either in the town or country. Most cities and towns permit beekeeping, but check on your local ordinances to be certain. If beekeeping is permitted in town, be careful to avoid having your bees declared a public nuisance. If this should occur, you will be forced to move your apiary. Before you go to the trouble of setting up your apiary, talk with the neighbors if they are reasonably near. Getting answers to questions before you set up your hives can save a lot of headaches. Do the neighbors have young children who might inadvertently approach the hive? Are any of your neighbors allergic to insect stings? Are your bees likely to be attracted to your neighbors’ properties for any reason in particular? Are there any penned or chained animals nearby? If answers to these questions don’t make beekeeping in town look enticing, then consider places in the countryside -- in wastelands, pastures, truck farms, and orchards. Many people would love to have bees available to pollinate their crops, and a well-placed phone call could win you a ideal site to place your apiary. Watch Out! Diseases and pests, unfortunately, are not the only things that a beekeeper needs to worry about. Add to the list insecticides. Insecticides, if improperly applied (broadcast while bees are foraging, or allowed to run off into the bees’ water supply, for instance) can lead to the death of forgers or an entire colony. Some insecticides leave residues that can be active for days after application and can either contact the bees directly or via mixing with nectar. Other insecticides are mistaken by bees for pollen, are gathered up, and delivered to the hive where they are fed to the brood. The end result is an insecticide kill. If you will place your apiary in an area where widespread use of insecticides can be expected (fields, gardens, and orchards), check with those likely to apply them. High toxicity insecticides should not be sprayed on bee-pollinated plants during bloom. If this is to occur, be prepared to protect your bees by screening their entrance on the day of insecticide application. Provide additional protection from the sun so that the bees don’t overheat and die from prostration. Beekeepers have certain rights under the law that will help protect both bees and beekeepers. Nonetheless, it is much wiser to be proactive than reactive when it comes to insecticides. Setting Up and Arranging Your Apiary: Elevate your hives by placing them atop bricks or wooden beams treated with preservatives to avoid termites and prevent rotting. When setting out your hives, tilt them so that rain won’t come in through the entrance. Provide a ventilation hole near the top so that moisture doesn’t accumulate within the hive. Damp hives leave colonies disease prone. Orient the hives so that their entrances face southeast or south, or any direction in between. Avoid placing a number of hives in a row as returning bees often become confused and drift back to the wrong hive. Drifting can be responsible for spreading diseases in an apiary, and will build up colony populations in the end hives at the expense of those more centrally located. Stagger the arrangement of your hives, or place them in a semicircle. Alternatively, place the hives among objects such as trees and bushes that can serve as landmarks. Some beekeepers who are forced to arrange their hives in rows paint the hives using varying light shades, or mark the entrances with different patterns, to help the bees distinguish one hive from another. Cut grass around entrances. Registration Requirements: In compliance with the Rules and Regulations of the State of Illinois, all apiaries in the state must be registered during November each year or within ten (10) days after acquiring ownership or possession of bees. Complete an Application for Apiary Registration form obtained from the Illinois Department of Agriculture, Division of Animal Industries, Apiary Inspection Section, P. O. Box 19281 - Fairgrounds, Springfield, IL 62794-9281. Registration is free of charge. If you have never filed a registration form before, a beekeepers’ registration number will be provided to you. This registration number must be prominently displayed in the apiary, and many beekeepers place this number on each hive as a sign of ownership. Inspections: The State of Illinois maintains a number of bee inspectors who regularly inspect apiaries in search of diseases. By law they are permitted to inspect any hives and colonies they find. Even though your apiary will be inspected from time to time, you should constantly keep an eye open for diseases and pests yourself. If and when serious diseases are found -- especially American foulbrood and European foulbrood -- you should respond quickly and appropriately. Remember, by protecting your own colonies, you also protect those of your fellow beekeepers.

At the time, he was living in Southern California. “I kept bees for years,” he said. “I was also the go-to person for about nine of the different police departments. Whenever there was a bee swarm, they called me. I would go out and, if there were a bunch of them in the trees, I came and got them.” Recently, Hickman, 63, decided he’d like to pursue the hobby again. But when he asked Carpentersville officials about keeping honeybees, he learned it was prohibited in the village. “I never really pushed them. I just said, ‘I want to do this.’ When they wrote me back and said it’s prohibited, I said, ‘OK,’ ” Hickman said. He was surprised to learn that officials decided to then bring his request to a village board meeting for discussion. And two weeks ago, the ban was lifted. Now residents can raise honeybees in their backyards as a hobby. Jim Hock, community development director for the village, said officials surveyed several other communities and found quite a few allow beekeeping. “We bounced the concept off of board members, and they said they’d be receptive to it,” Hock said. There are some guidelines, however. No more than one colony is allowed per property, and a 6-foot barrier must be in place if the colony is less than 25 feet from the nearest property line. Water must be provided on-site to prevent bees from looking for water in other area yards. ‘Poisonous animal’ Initially, officials outlawed beekeeping because the village ordinance said it is unlawful to keep or harbor any poisonous animal, insect or spider. But the village board also noted honeybees can be maintained without causing a nuisance if they are properly located and managed. Hickman said many people aren’t aware of just how important honeybees are to the environment. “Quite a few crops wouldn’t grow without them, including some of the nut trees and a lot of the fruit couriernews Page 1of 2Print Story 9/9/2013http://couriernews.suntimes.com/news/20321680-418/hes-abuzz-that-carpentersville-lifted-... trees,” he said. “Without bees pollinating them, we wouldn’t get anywhere near the amount of fruit or nuts.” In his own backyard, he has both a cherry and apple tree. “There are no bees in my neighborhood, so (the trees) don’t produce as well as they should,” he said. “I’m hoping the bees help with that.” He plans to start his hobby up again in 2014. “It’s too late at this point — I’ve missed all the spring blossoms,” he said. “I thought I’d wait until next year. If I’m lucky, I might get a couple of quarts of honey out of it every year, which is just enough to keep my family in honey. It’s going to be fun.” Hickman lauds village officials for pursuing his request. “I was really impressed with Carpentersville and the fact that they were willing to consider something like that,” he said. “A lot of times, cities just blow everything off. If the wheel’s not squeaking, there’s no reason to deal with it. I give those guys a lot of credit for being willing to consider it.” Copyright © 2013 — Sun-Times Media, LLC Page 2of 2Print Story 9/9/2013http://couriernews.suntimes.com/news/20321680-418/hes-abuzz-that-carpentersville-lifted-...

City of Springfield to spell out beekeeping requirements By CHRIS YOUNG (chris.young@sj-r.com) The State Journal-Register Posted Jun 10, 2012 @ 10:45 PM The Springfield City Council will consider an ordinance this week to legalize hobby bee The draft ordinance sets up a framework of requirements that limit the number of hive can maintain at once and requires them to be placed a sufficient distance from neighb sidewalks. Sangamon County Board member Tim Moore, also a beekeeper, worked with the city t ordinance. “The business of beekeeping – or apiculture – is a form of agriculture just like raising horses,” Moore said. “It’s not real clear whether or not hobby beekeeping is legal (in Sp not.” Hobby beekeepers raise bees that produce honey for the beekeepers, their families and profit. “So with this ordinance, (hobby beekeepers) don’t have to worry about being fined or s Rich Ramsey of Rochester, vice-president of the Illinois State Beekeeping Associa allowing hobbyists to maintain a few hives helps promote good relations between beek community. After all, it’s a local beekeeper who gets the call when a swarm of bees takes up tempor public place and needs to be removed. Beekeepers can put their names on a list to be called if the Sangamon County sheriff’s the presence of a swarm. For their trouble, beekeepers get free bees and queens for their hives, and the public g Moore maintains hives on his farm near Loami and one hive in his backyard in Spring “It’s tucked back in a corner of my yard, and my neighbors don’t generally see it or go said. Most beehives are like Moore’s – out of sight and out of mind - but an ordinance spells everyone’s protection. For example, the ordinance requires hives to be at least five feet from the property line sidewalk, unless a proper fence keeps the hive separate. “Only a fool would put his bees near a sidewalk,” Ramsey said. Moore said to be in compliance, he would move his bees a few feet in from the property line and plant a hedge along separating his yard from the alley. Page 1of 3City of Springfield to spell out beekeeping requirements -Springfield, IL -The State Jour... 9/9/2013http://www.sj-r.com/top-stories/x465792206/City-to-spell-out-beekeeping-requirements Before he opens up his hives, Moore smokes the hives to calm the bees. He shows where honey is produced and where his “bee babies” mature in brood chambers. He wears a net over his head, face and arms, but says he isn’t worried about being stung. “They’re just doing their thing,” Moore said. “They aren’t paying a whole lot of attention to us, even when we are hol to look at them.” Moore estimates there are about dozen beekeepers in Springfield. New people have inquired about becoming involved, but are unsure about the legality. “The (present) ordinance was pretty vague, and it was keeping people from keeping bees,” he said. The ordinance will go before the full city council June 19, Moore said. *** Bee swarms Getting along with honeybees is fairly simple. “If you leave them alone, they will leave you alone,” said Rich Ramsey, vice-president of the Illinois State Beekeeper Even large swarms of bees that temporarily possess tree cavities, sign posts, door jams, or other public places are no treated with respect. “Right now the city is full of bees,” Ramsey said. “There are hollow trees all over town.” Bee swarms normally are not aggressive, he said. “We probably got 20 calls for swarms this spring, and there were no stinging incidents to my knowledge,” Ramsey sa going to attack a person like you see in the movies.” Bees swarm when the older queen leaves the hive to a new queen. The older queen usually takes about half of the colony with her to start over in a new location. “People who have a bee swarm call 911, but that’s not really a 911 emergency,” Ramsey said. “Call the non-emergency Sheriff’s Dept. at 753-6666, and they will get a hold of a beekeeper.” *** Draft ordinance on hobby beekeeping *Requires hives to be registered with the Illinois Department of Agriculture. *Colonies must be maintained in movable-frame hives. *Proper bee handling techniques must be used to avoid possibility of “unprovoked stinging” 10 or more feet away. *No more than four hives on lots of less than 10,000 square feet. *Hives must not be located within five feet of a property line, street, sidewalk or alley unless protected by a solid or s link fence or hedge four feet in height. The fence must extend at least four feet beyond the hive in both directions or enclose the hives. *Colonies of honeybees – or any other stinging insects – not maintained in compliance with the ordinance may be d nuisance. Wild occurring bees, such as those residing in hollow trees whose honey is not harvested are not considere violation. Chris Young can be reached at 788-1528.

Lake County beekeepers seek change in zoning regulation By Mick Zawislak Beekeepers are buzzing about what they say is an antiquated county regulation that doesn’t apply to a growing practice. The Lake County Beekeepers Association also says it wants to dispel myths about honeybees, as the benefits of keeping them are getting more attention. “I think in Lake County there is a strong interest in sustainability and green activity. We’ve had a surge in hobby beekeepers,” said David Bergman, who heads the local group. On Tuesday, Bergman will make his case to the county’s planning, building and zoning committee to reduce the requirement that beekeeping be limited to five-acre sites in unincorporated areas. Through the years, club members have gone about their business unencumbered, though county regulations require beekeeping to occur on properties of 200,000 square feet or more. “This came up about a year ago, when one of our members was approached about the hives on his two-acre property. We were surprised,” said Bergman, a resident of Third Lake. “I’ve never had five acres for bees, nor is it really needed. That’s what’s required for horses.” When a second club member was notified of the requirement, the beekeepers decided to see what could be done. “The change we’re requesting is to remove the five-acre requirement and allow something more reasonable,” Bergman said. “Two or three hives in a back yard is not a big deal. It’s more of a neighbor to neighbor issue.” The requirement applies only to unincorporated areas covered by county zoning rules. David Husemoller, a senior planner for Lake County, said times are changing and more people are pursuing beekeeping as a hobby. In a recent report accepted by the county board regarding sustainable building and development practices, beekeeping is listed as one way to increase access to local food sources. “A lot of these zoning regulations that we’re starting to look at now, especially related to food and farming practices, came about in the `50s,” Husemoller said. “We can still use zoning in a way that allows it, but allow it in a way it’s not a nuisance.” According to the report, efforts to promote safe and secure local food sources go beyond gardens, and regulations are being relaxed even in urban areas to allow beekeeping.

Beekeepers also are seen as “critical partners” in the survival of the nation’s honey bees in light of the mysterious and well documented Colony Collapse Disorder. Five years ago, there may have been 35 members in the Lake County Beekeepers Association but there now are more than 80, he said, adding meetings have become more interesting. “You normally get 15 die-harders who want to talk about their hobby,” Bergman said. “Suddenly, 65 people show up.” He also notes bees contribute to local food production and pollinate crops and garden flowers. Honey bees are able, but rarely sting, and die if they do. They are feared, Bergman contends, because they are often mistaken for the yellow jacket wasp that is aggressive and can sting multiple times without paying the ultimate price. “You just don’t want people walking in front of their (hive) entrance,” according to Bergman.

This is of great benefit in the city where pollinating insect populations are usually significantly smaller than in rural areas. Managed colonies of bees help to increase the yields and the quality of a large variety of plants found in backyard gardens, municipal parks, and flowerbeds. Hives of honeybees are currently established in most every major city in the United States. Beehives are successfully kept in small back yards, on balconies and rooftops in congested urban environments with little, if any, impact to adjacent property owners. In addition to the benefits of plant pollination, the honey, beeswax, pollen and other hive products are high in nutritional value and are a local, renewable and sustainable resource. Beekeeping Ordinance In 2010, the City of Milwaukee passed an ordinance (Chapter 78-6 Milwaukee Code of Ordinances) allowing people to keep up to two colonies of honeybees on private property within the City limits. An annual permit and inspection is required. Permit applications may be obtained from the Department of Neighborhood Services Environmental Section at the address listed in this brochure. A simple map of the apiary and surrounding area with dimensions must be provided. Neighbors within 200 feet will be notified and given an opportunity to voice any concerns they may have. You might also be required to get written permission from your immediate neighbors, should your hives be within 50 feet of their dwellings or certain structures. Proof of beekeeping competency must be provided. Honeybee Behavior Honeybees are naturally gentle and non-aggressive. They may sting if they perceive a threat to their colony, but only as a last resort as the bee will die shortly after depositing its stinger. While foraging for nectar and pollen away from the colony, honeybees are completely docile and only concerned with the tasks they set out to do. In most cases, people living in close proximity of beehives will never know that the honeybees are around. Your Responsibilities If you plan to keep honeybees in the City of Milwaukee, it is best to talk to your neighbors ahead of time, and explain the behavior and benefits of beekeeping. Be prepared to address their concerns, as your neighbors will have a voice in the permit approval process. Beekeeping in the city should utilize best practices to avoid creating problems for your neighbors. With some planning, beehives can be safely located in close proximity to homes, gardens and other places where people spend recreational time. You will be responsible for monitoring your bees on a regular basis for the health of the hive and to ensure that you have not created a nuisance to others. Limit your beekeeping activities to times when it will not interfere with your neighbors’ activities and enjoyment of their property. Resources for the Bee- keeper and the Curious The state of Wisconsin Department of Agriculture provides a great, free hive inspection service in the Spring and Fall, through Craig Petros, State Apiary Inspector.

Wasps & Hornets Wasps, hornets and yellow jackets are normally bright yellow and black, and are normally aggressive. They are often mistaken for honeybees. They nest in the ground, or above in a grey paper structure. They will sting without provocation, and can sting repeatedly. Wasps and hornets can be eliminated with common wasp sprays, and the use of soapy water in a spray or drench. The City does NOT remove these nests. For problem infestations, contact your local pest management firm.

It was adopted from the Texas beekeeping ordinance and modified by the Louisiana Beekeepers Association, the Louisiana Department of Agriculture and Forestry (LDAF), the USDA/ARS Honey Bee Breeding Genetic and Physiology Lab and the Louisiana Cooperative Extension Service. Because the honeybee industry is vital to Louisiana agriculture, the four organizations are willing to assist any local, municipal state government in the use or implementation of this program. Proposed Model Beekeeping Ordinance for Louisiana Local and Municipal Governments Whereas, honeybees are of benefit to mankind, and to Louisiana in particular, by providing agriculture, fruit and garden pollination services and by furnishing honey, wax and other useful products; and Whereas, Louisiana is among the leading states in honey production and agricultural byproducts associated with beekeeping throughout the United States; and Whereas, domestic strains of honeybees have been selectively bred for desirable traits, including gentleness, honey production, tendency not to swarm and nonaggressive behavior, characteristics that are desirable to foster and maintain; and Whereas, gentle strains of honeybees can be maintained within populated areas in reasonable densities without causing a nuisance if the bees are properly located and carefully managed and maintained; Now, Therefore, Be It Ordained and Enacted By ____________________________________________________________________ (Insert name of governmental entity) Section 1. That the findings contained in the preamble of this ordinance are hereby adopted as a part of this ordinance. Section 2. That Chapter No. ________________ (Health) of the Code of Ordinances, __________________________________ (city), _______________________ (state), is hereby amended by adding a new article No., which reads as follows: Definitions As used in this article, the following words and terms shall have the meanings ascribed in this section unless the context of their usage clearly indicates another meaning: 1. “Apiary” means the assembly of one or more colonies of bees at a single location. 2. “Beekeeper” means a person who owns or has charge of one or more colonies of bees. 3. “Beekeeping equipment” means anything used in the operation of an apiary, such as hive bodies, supers, frames, top and bottom boards and extractors. 4. “Colony” or “hive” means an aggregate of bees consisting principally of workers, but having, when perfect, one queen and at times many drones, including brood, combs, honey and the receptacle inhabited by the bees. 5. “Honeybee” means all life stages of the common domestic honey bee, Apis mellifera species. 6. “Tract” means a contiguous parcel of land under common ownership. 7. “Undeveloped property” means any idle land that is not improved or actually in the process of being improved with residential, commercial, industrial, church, park, school or governmental facilities or other structures or improvements intended for human use occupancy and the grounds maintained in association therewith. The term shall be deemed to include property developed exclusively as a street or highway or property used for commercial agricultural purposes. Certain Conduct Declared Unlawful (a) The purpose of this article is to establish certain requirements of sound beekeeping practice that are intended to avoid problems that may otherwise be associated with the keeping of bees in populated areas. (b) Notwithstanding compliance with the various requirements of this article, it shall be unlawful for any beekeeper to keep any colony or colonies in such a manner or of such disposition as to cause any unhealthy condition, interfere with the normal use and enjoyment of human or animal life of others or interfere with the normal use and enjoyment of any public property or property of others. Hive Registration All honey bee colonies shall be registered annually with the Louisiana Department of Agriculture and Forestry. IT IS THE LAW! Hive Type All honey bee colonies shall be kept in Langstroth- type hives with removable frames, which shall be kept in sound and usable condition. Fencing of Flyways In each instance in which any colony is situated within 25 feet of a public or private property line of the tract upon which the apiary is situated, as measured from the nearest point on the hive to the property line, the beekeeper shall establish and maintain a flyway barrier at least 6 feet in height consisting of a solid wall, fence, dense vegetation or combination thereof that is parallel to the property line and extends 10 feet beyond the colony in each direction so that all bees are forced to fly at an elevation of at least 6 feet above ground level over the property lines in the vicinity of the apiary. It is a defense against prosecution under this section that the property adjoining the apiary tract in the vicinity of the apiary is undeveloped property for a distance of at least 25 feet from the property line of the apiary tract. Water Each beekeeper shall ensure that a convenient source of water is available to the bees at all times during the year so that the bees will not congregate at swimming pools, bibcocks, pet watering bowls, bird baths or other water sources where they may cause human, bird or domestic pet contact. General Maintenance Each beekeeper shall ensure that no bee comb or other materials that might encourage robbing are left upon the grounds of the apiary site. Upon their removal from the hive, all such materials shall promptly be disposed of in a sealed container or placed within a building or other bee-proof enclosure. Queens All colonies shall be maintained with marked queens. In any instance in which a colony exhibits unusual aggressive characteristics by stinging or attempting to sting without due provocation or exhibits an unusual disposition toward swarming, it shall be the duty of the beekeeper to promptly re-queen the colony with another marked queen. Queens shall be selected from European stock bred for gentleness and nonswarming characteristics. Colony Densities (a) It shall be unlawful to keep more than the following number of colonies on any tract within the city, based upon the size or configuration of the tract on which the apiary is situated: 1. One-quarter acre or less tract size – two colonies. 2. More than one-quarter acre but less than one-half acre tract size – four colonies. 3. More than one-half acre but less than 1 acre tract size – six colonies. 4. One acre or larger tract size – eight colonies. 5. Regardless of tract size, where all hives are situated at least 200 feet in any direction from all property lines of the tract on which the apiary is situated, there shall be no limit to the number of colonies. 6. Regardless of tract size, so long as all property other than the tract upon which the hives are situated – that is, within a radius of at least 200 feet from any hive – remains undeveloped property, there shall be no limit to the number of colonies. (b) For each two colonies authorized under Colony Densities [subsection (a)] there may be maintained upon the same tract one nucleus colony in a hive structure not exceeding one standard 9 5/8 inch depth 10-frame hive body with no supers attached as required from time to time for management of swarms. Each such nucleus colony shall be disposed of or combined with an authorized colony within 30 days after the date is acquired. Marking Hives, Presumption of Beekeeping (a) In apiaries the beekeeper shall conspicuously post a sign setting forth his name and telephone number. In addition, the beekeeper’s registration yard marker, provided by the LDAF, shall be posted on a sign within the apiary. It is a defense against prosecution under this subsection that a colony is kept upon the same tract upon which the owner resides. (b) Unless marked in accordance with subsection (a) it shall be presumed for purposes of this article that the beekeeper is the person or persons who own or otherwise have the present right of possession and control of the tract upon which a hive or hives are situated. The presumption may be rebutted by a written agreement authorizing another person to maintain the colony or colonies upon the tract setting forth the name, address and telephone number of the other person who is acting as the beekeeper. Inspection The health officer shall have the right to inspect any apiary between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. Where practicable, prior notice shall be given to the beekeeper if he resides at the apiary or if his name is marked on the hives. Compliance (a) Upon receipt of information that any colony situated within the city is not being kept in compliance with this article, the director shall initiate an investigation. If he finds grounds to believe that one or more violations have occurred, he will have a written notice of a hearing issued to the beekeeper. (b) The notice of a hearing shall set forth: 1. The date, time and place at which the hearing will be conducted. 2. The violation(s) alleged. 3. That the beekeeper may appear in person or through counsel, present evidence, cross-examine witnesses and request a court reporter as provided by Rule No. ______ of the city council’s rules of procedure. 4. That the bees may be ordered destroyed or removed from the city if the hearing officer finds that they have been kept in violation of this article. Notices shall be given by certified U. S. mail or personal delivery. If the health officer is unable to locate the beekeeper, however, the notice may be given by publication one time in a newspaper of general circulation at least five days before the date of the hearing. (c) The hearing shall be conducted by the director or a designated health officer. The burden shall be on the city to demonstrate by a preponderance of credible evidence that the colony or colonies have in fact been kept in violation of this article. If the hearing officer finds that the colony or colonies have been kept in violation of this article, he may order that the bees be destroyed or removed from the city, not to exceed 20 days and that bees not thereafter be kept upon the tract for a period of two years. In instances where the hearing officer finds that the violations were not intentional and that the beekeeper has taken corrective actions to cure the alleged violations, he may issue a warning in lieu of ordering the bees destroyed or removed. Upon failure of the beekeeper to comply with the order, the health officer may cause the bees to be destroyed and the hive structures to be removed. In each instance in which a bee colony is destroyed, all usable components of the hive structure that are not damaged or rendered unhealthy by the destruction of the bees shall upon the beekeeper’s request be returned to the beekeeper, provided that the beekeeper agrees to bear all transportation expenses for their return. (d) The decision of the hearing officer may be appealed in accordance with the provision of Rule No. of the city council’s rules and procedures by filing a notice of appeal with the city secretary within 10 days following the date that the hearing officer announces his decision, or if the decision is not announced at the conclusion of the hearing, within 15 days following at the date the hearing officer places written notice of his decision in the mail to the beekeeper. An appeal shall not stay in the hearing officer’s decision, and it shall not be the responsibility of the beekeeper to remove the bees from the city pending the determination of the appeal. \(e) The provisions of this section shall not be construed to require the conduct of a hearing for the destruction of (1) any bee colony not residing in a hive structure intended for beekeeping or (2) any swarm of bees or (3) any colony residing in a standard or man-made hive, which by virtue of its condition, has obviously been abandoned by the beekeeper. Section 3. If any provisions, section, subsection, sentence, clause or phrase of this ordinance or the application of same to any person or set of circumstances is for any reason held to be unconstitutional, void or invalid, the validity of the remaining portions of this ordinance or their application to other persons or sets of circumstances shall not be affected thereby, it being the intent of the city council in adopting this ordinance that no portion hereof or provision or regulation contained herein shall become inoperative or fail by reason of any unconstitutionality, voidness or invalidity of any other portion hereof, and all provisions of this ordinance are declared to be servable for the purpose. Section 4. This ordinance shall become effective at __________ (hour) on ________________ (date). Section 5. There exists a public emergency requiring that this ordinance be passed finally on the date of its introduction as requested in writing by the mayor; therefore, this ordinance shall be passed finally on such date and shall take effect as provided in Section 4, above. Passed and approved this __________________ day of 20____. _________________________________________ (Mayor) Author: Dale K.
