bring that forward. The answer was yes.Alderman Funkhouser said this is a step in the right direction.

PLAN COMMISSION
Ordinance Amending the Requirements in the Yorkville Subdivision Control Ordinance
Regarding Procedures for the Reduction of Subdivision Securities—First Reading
(PC 2014-03)
Alderman Funkhouser's concern is that this is going to come back as an informational issue. City
Attorney Orr said item 6 could be rewritten to say all reductions shall be reported on the agendas for the
regular meeting.Alderman Colosimo brought up an option of giving the report to the Administrative
Committee. If something is objectionable then it can be moved to Council.Alderman Funkhouser stated
the Council would still be making the review subjective. The Council is removing that subjectivity and
keeping it in the hands of the City's engineer that is licensed.The engineer is the one that makes the
decision if the criteria has been met for reduction.Alderman Colosimo said if the Council is moving the
subjectivity out of it then why not just include it in the administrative weekly.No action can be taken on
it. City Attorney Orr said the idea of the informational item is to give the Council an opportunity to
question it before the meeting. City Administrator Olson stated where the rubber meets the road is
holding him accountable.Alderman Teeling said putting it on the agenda makes it easily accessible to the
residents. City Administrator Olson said the way that the existing policy is set up is if he and EEI
Engineer Sanderson agree then it is un appealable to the mayor. If they disagree then the decision goes to
the mayor.Mayor Golinski stated the Council will see this in two weeks and City Administrator Olson
will come with a proposal. City Attorney Orr asked if the Council would like# 6 of the conditions
rewritten. City Administrator Olson stated that would be his request.
Ordinance Approving Amendments to the Yorkville Zoning Ordinance Removing Lowland

(PC 2014-04)
Alderman Funkhouser asked a question in regards to wetlands. Community Development Director
Barksdale-Noble answered Alderman Funkhouser's question in detail.
Kendall County Petition#14-06—Ron Reinert Fox Road Subdivision—12345 Fox Road
(Informational)
(CC 2014-38)
Alderman Funkhouser said the Council was not given enough time to go through the process it was
supposed to have. He doesn't know the reason for this error.Alderman Funkhouser's issue is with the
process,timing,and the fact that the county or petitioner failed to get this to the City in advance. He is
frustrated by the process.City Administrator Olson stated this will be a topic of conversation in certain
meetings.Alderman Funkhouser doesn't want this issue overlooked.Mayor Golinski thinks that
something needs to be done a little more formal than waiting till a mayor or management meeting.He
stated a memo could be drafted to the county administrator or chairman to ask they follow procedures.
Mayor Golinski asked what if there was an objection. Community Development Director Barksdale-
Noble said the City would file its objection and it would be noted. It wouldn't necessarily keep them from
approving the request.Alderman Funkhouser said if it was approved with an objection then the City
would have grounds for a lawsuit. City Attorney Orr stated point well taken. It no longer has to go by
simple majority.Mayor Golinski thinks a letter is appropriate to send.

ADDITIONAL BUSINESS
Center Parkway
Alderman Teeling said the hole on Center Parkway is worse. It used to be marked to alert people. She
would like it marked again to alert residents.Public Works Director Dhuse will have it marked again.
Bond Refinancing
Mayor Golinski asked City Administrator Olson to explain the bond refinancing and he did. There are
four bonds.Two come up soon and two are due at the fiscal year.The remaining portion of the
Countryside TIF bond had to be refinanced.There is no additional term and no additional interest. It was
a good deal for the City. To qualify as tax exempt, a person is liable to issue $10 million worth of bonds
per year. That is financing and SSA bonds included. The City has already done some more finances this
year. The only two that fit within the qualifications are the 2005 A and 2005 C. There is significant
savings, $143,000 and$172,000 over the life of the bonds. The 2004 B bond and 2005 bond will be in
front of the Council in Jan or Feb and the 2005 A and 2005 C will be in front of the Council May 27,
2014 at the City Council meeting.
