Bart Olson Administration Name Department Summary Approval of two employee manual amendments addressing Illinois law on concealed carry and medical cannabis. Background This item was last discussed at the July Administration Committee meeting, where it received unanimous positive recommendation to move forward from the committee. With the passage and implementation of the Firearm Concealed Carry Act and the Compassionate Use of Medical Cannabis Pilot Program Act, the City will need to make the following two amendments to the employee manual to stay in compliance with state law. The two changes are included within the draft ordinance that is attached, and are included below in track changes format: ------------------ Section 2.4.2 Prohibited Conduct "Workplace violence" includes any behavior or conduct on City premises, which is sufficiently severe, offensive, or intimidating to cause an individual to reasonably fear for his or her personal safety or the safety of co-workers and/or property. It includes, but is not limited to: a. Any physical behavior, or threat of physical behavior, which involves aggressive contact with any person, including pushing, hitting, fighting, throwing objects or otherwise intentionally injuring another person or attempting to injure another person; b. Any physical behavior, or threat of physical behavior, that would place a reasonable person in fear of receiving imminent physical injury or aggressive physical contact of the sort discussed above; or c. Any act of vandalism or other intentional damage or destruction of City property. No employee or third party, except for authorized law enforcement personnel, is permitted to bring weapons or firearms onto City property (including City vehicles), except for authorized law enforcement personnel and individuals in accordance with the Firearm Concealed Carry Act, which allows individuals with valid concealed carry permits to possess a gun in limited circumstances in their vehicle in City parking lots. Nothing in this policy shall be construed to provide greater authority to possess weapons on City property than is permitted by law. -------------------- [Language to be inserted as introduction between Section 2.7 and Section 2.7.1] Memorandum To: City Council From: Bart Olson, City Administrator CC: Date: August 6, 2014 Subject: Employee Manual Amendments This policy will be construed in a manner consistent with our rights and obligations under the Illinois Medical Cannabis Pilot Program, including any applicable interpretative rules that may be adopted pursuant to this Program. Be assured that we respect the rights of our employees who are registered patients with debilitating medical conditions who are engaging in the medical use of marijuana in compliance with the law. However, as with alcohol and prescription drugs, employees may not operate or be in control of a vehicle while impaired. Additionally, employees may be disciplined or even discharged for reporting to work under the influence of cannabis. In all cases, an employee who is a registered patient engaged in the medical use of marijuana is subject to all of our normal drug testing requirements, personnel policies and disciplinary penalties for policy violations. ---------------------- Recommendation Staff recommends approval of the two employee manual amendments listed above. With a positive recommendation from the Administration Committee, we will draft the resolution amending the employee manual for approval at an upcoming City Council meeting. Resolution No. 2014-______ Page 1 Resolution No. 2014- _____ A RESOLUTION OF THE UNITED CITY OF YORKVILLE, KENDALL COUNTY, ILLINOIS, APPROVING AMENDMENTS TO THE UNITED CITY OF YORKVILLE EMPLOYEE MANUAL WHEREAS, the United City of Yorkville (the “City”) is a duly organized and validly existing non home-rule municipality created in accordance with the Constitution of the State of Illinois of 1970 and the laws of the State; and, WHEREAS, the City desires to amend the United City of Yorkville Employee Manual in order to be in compliance with the Firearm Concealed Carry Act (430 ILCS 66/1 et seq.) and the Compassionate Use of Medical Cannabis Pilot Program Act (410 ILCS 130/1 et seq.). NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Mayor and City Council of the United City of Yorkville, Kendall County, Illinois, to amend the United City of Yorkville Employee Manual as originally approved on June 26, 2012 as follows: Section 1. That Section 2.4.2 of the United City of Yorkville Employee Manual is hereby deleted in its entirety and is replaced with the following language in its stead: “Section 2.4.2 Prohibited Conduct "Workplace violence" includes any behavior or conduct on City premises, which is sufficiently severe, offensive, or intimidating to cause an individual to reasonably fear for his or her personal safety or the safety of co-workers and/or property. It includes, but is not limited to: a. Any physical behavior, or threat of physical behavior, which involves aggressive contact with any person, including pushing, hitting, fighting, throwing objects or otherwise intentionally injuring another person or attempting to injure another person; b. Any physical behavior, or threat of physical behavior, that would place a reasonable person in fear of receiving imminent physical injury or aggressive physical contact of the sort discussed above; or c. Any act of vandalism or other intentional damage or destruction of City property. No employee or third party is permitted to bring weapons or firearms onto City property (including City vehicles), except for authorized law enforcement personnel and individuals in accordance with the Firearm Concealed Carry Act, which allows individuals with valid concealed carry permits to possess a gun in limited circumstances in their vehicle in City parking lots. Nothing in this policy shall be construed to provide greater authority to possess weapons on City property than is permitted by law.” Resolution No. 2014-______ Page 2 Section 2. That Section 2.7 of the United City of Yorkville Employee Manual is hereby amended by adding an introductory paragraph to read as follows: Section 2.7 Drug Free Workplace Policy “This policy will be construed in a manner consistent with our rights and obligations under the Illinois Medical Cannabis Pilot Program, including any applicable interpretative rules that may be adopted pursuant to this Program. Be assured that we respect the rights of our employees who are registered patients with debilitating medical conditions who are engaging in the medical use of marijuana in compliance with the law. However, as with alcohol and prescription drugs, employees may not operate or be in control of a vehicle while impaired. Additionally, employees may be disciplined or even discharged for reporting to work under the influence of cannabis. In all cases, an employee who is a registered patient engaged in the medical use of marijuana is subject to all of our normal drug testing requirements, personnel policies and disciplinary penalties for policy violations.” Section 3. That this Resolution shall be in full force and effect from and after its passage and approval as provided by law.

A Change Order, as defined by in the General Conditions of the Contract Documents, is a written order to the Contractor authorizing an addition, deletion or revision in the work within the general scope of the Contract Documents, or authorizing an adjustment in the Contract Price or Contract Time. Background: The United City of Yorkville and Visu-Sewer entered into an agreement for a contract value of $29,510.00 for the above referenced project. This project was intended to replace the traditional open cut remove and replace methods that were originally called for on the approved plans. The construction costs are being funded by 100% by the City. Questions Presented: Should the City approve Change Order No. 1 which would increase the contract amount by $58,866.00? Discussion: This work is part of the overall Rt 47 improvements that are being performed by IDOT. It has been determined during the construction process that lining is a better option than removal and replacement in two additional locations. Lining is now proposed near the Somonauk and Center Street intersections rather than complete removal and replacement. If approved by City Council, this increase in the contract amount would be offset at a later date by an estimated change order (reduction) in the amount of ~$180,000 (net savings of ~$120,000) as we would not have to replace the sewers being lined in this contract. Action Required: Consideration of approval. Memorandum To: Bart Olson, City Administrator From: Brad Sanderson, EEI CC: Eric Dhuse, Director of Public Works Krysti Barksdale-Noble, Community Dev.

Bart Olson Administration Name Department Summary Review of an incentive agreement with Wrigley for construction of an expanded manufacturing facility at 2800 North Route 47. Background The Wrigley Yorkville Manufacturing Facility was constructed in 1995 by the Amurol Corporation, which was bought by Wrigley in 2003. The current facility contains 215,000 square feet of food manufacturing space, and Wrigley is moving forward with a 146,000 square foot expansion to accommodate Skittles production. City officials met with Wrigley representative in early 2014 to discuss potential expansion of the Wrigley Manufacturing Facility. At the time, Yorkville was competing against several other sites within and outside the country. In early meetings, it became apparent that the normal City incentives (TIF, sales tax sharing) would not apply to this project. Fortunately, the type of jobs created by the expansion and the nature of the land-use lent itself to state incentives, including job tax credits, money for training employees, and 100% funding for a new traffic light at their entrance and Route 47, for which the City will be the recipient and coordinator of the project. Additionally, Wrigley is seeking a five-year real estate property tax abatement on the incremental property taxes from the new facility from all units of government. The only incentives the City had to offer involved permit fees, real estate taxes, and utility taxes. The attached agreement contains: 1) The 5-year, 50% incremental property tax abatement for the addition only. We are not abating any property taxes on the existing facility, which currently has a total tax bill of over $304,000 annually. Of that amount, the City receives $20,000 annually. We estimate that the five year value of this abatement for the City on the new addition will be around $8,000 per year, for an estimated total of $40,000 over the life of the agreement. 2) A total waiver of the building permit fee on the addition. Based on our estimated building permit costs, we expect this value to be $31,000. 3) A total waiver of the plan review fee. Plan review will be conducted in-house. Based on our estimated plan review fee costs, we expect this value to be $5,000. 4) For five years, the lesser of: twenty-five percent (25%) of the electric utility taxes received annually by the City over and above $53,000; or $13,250. The annual electric utility taxes Memorandum To: City Council From: Bart Olson, City Administrator CC: Date: August 6, 2014 Subject: Wrigley incentive agreement received by the City from the existing Wrigley facility should be $53,000. Capping the annual rebate at $13,250 covers a scenario where the addition doubles the electric utility taxes paid by Wrigley. 5) For five years, the lesser of: seventy-five percent (75%) of the Gas Utility Taxes received annually by the City over and above $1,500; or $1,125. The annual gas utility taxes received by the City from the existing Wrigley facility should be $1,500. Capping the annual rebate at $1,125 covers a scenario whether the addition doubles the natural gas utility taxes paid by Wrigley. 6) The City further agrees that it shall not take any action to recoup gas utility taxes and electric utility taxes unpaid by Wrigley for any year prior to 2014. a. For a variety of possible reasons, some of which involve the City, the Wrigley facility was never added to City tax rolls under ComEd and Nicor databases. Under Nicor and ComEd rules, the City has the ability to recoup two years worth of unpaid utility taxes. We thought it would be counterproductive during the negotiation process to seek past amounts owed, and thus we recommend waiving our authority. The estimated amount of the foregone revenue is $109,000 over the two year period. The above items do not include any of our engineering fees related to site plan approval for EEI, which are estimated to be $20,000, and any BKFD, YBSD or similar fees. So, the City will not be out of pocket for consultant costs and will not be negotiating fee waivers with other government entities. The current total value of the incentive package from the City is $185,000 to $265,875. This is in exchange for: 1) Committing to build a new commercial addition of 146,000 sf. Their existing facility is 215,000 sf. 2) Hiring 75 new full-time employees. They have 300 current full-time employees. 3) Committing to salaries between $56,000 to $137,000 for the 75 full-time employees In comparison, we gave Boombah 50% of our local share of the 1% sales tax for 10 years (uncapped) for: 1) Committing to move its distribution facility to Yorkville, in the then-vacant 70,000 sf facility (they ultimately expanded even further into the building to the west) 2) Pay its 90 employees (no full-time designation) that would be moving from Morris to Yorkville no less than $10 per hour per year (with an inflationary increase per year) 3) Commit to spending $2,000,000 in the downtown TIF district on unrelated development Also in comparison, we gave the Kendall Crossing developer $2,000,000 just to build the movie theater and open it. We also gave them a portion of amusement tax proceeds for 10 years into the future. So, the Wrigley agreement is for much less money, for a shorter term and for much more benefit than any of our incentive programs in recent history. Recommendation Staff recommends approval of the Wrigley incentive agreement.

In years past, we have had no problems receiving bids at a reasonable price to fulfill our needs for the upcoming winter. However, this year is not like that. Not only did we not receive favorable bids, NO bids were received for us. No company was willing to sell us salt through the state purchase for the upcoming winter. Last winter almost completely depleted our salt supply leaving us only 200 tons. That amount of salt is only enough for two normal storms. Since learning that we received no bids, we have contacted five (5) vendors in hopes that they will supply us with salt for the year. Morton Salt - no bid at this time Cargill - no bid at this time North American Salt - no bid at this time Ice Melt Chicago - does not sell to municipalities Midwest Salt - $119/ton Central Salt - $101.15/ton So far the low bid is $48.35 higher PER TON than last year. For round numbers, this means that if we put 10 tons per truck and we have 9 trucks, it will cost us an extra $4351.50 to spread the same amount of salt as we did last year per storm. Unfortunately, these type of prices are not likely to come down any time soon, which means, we have to find a way to try and save money long term to keep our costs as low as possible and still provide safe roads for our residents. Memorandum To: Mayor and City Council From: Eric Dhuse, Director of Public Works CC: Bart Olson, Administrator Date: August 1, 2014 Subject: 2014 Salt and Liquid Brine Equipment Purchase Action Items Our three (3) most viable options are: 1) Purchase our full allotment of salt, 2500 tons, and apply as usual. Pros  Keeps roads clear  No addition equipment needed  Peace of mind Cons  Cost! 2500 tons of salt will cost us $252,875.00. we only have $187,500 approved through our yearly MFT budget. This means we would have to budget an additional $65,375.00.  Long term costs - typically, salt prices do not drop back down to normal in one year. The last time the price jumped was due to Hurricane Katrina in 2005. Salt prices skyrocketed and slowly came back down to the prices we had last year. If my theory holds true, salt prices will continue to be very high for the next 5 years at least. 2) Salt only hills and intersections, order only 1500 tons of salt. Pros  Saves money. 1500 tons will cost us $151,725.00. this is under our allotment, so we could possibly purchase more if needed.  No additional equipment needed Cons  Does not salt every street  NO RESERVE SALT. If we have another bad winter, we have nothing in reserve to use in case of a bad storm or series of bad storms.  Increased accidents  More overtime due to the fact that our drivers will have to plow more to remove the snow and slush that the salt would normally melt. 3) Purchase a less amount of salt each year and purchase pre-wetting systems for our trucks. Pros Long term solution. Less salt costs over 5 years Peace of mind that all streets are being salted More effective in icing situations Cons One time capital outlay of $101,000.00 for brine making equipment that is NOT budgeted More mechanical equipment on trucks Recommendation My recommendation would be number 3, which is to purchase a lesser amount of salt every year and purchase pre-wetting systems for our trucks. I believe that this will be the safest, most efficient, and most cost effective solution to this problem. I recommend that we enter into a contract with Central Salt of Elgin, Illinois for 1500 tons of salt at $101.15 per ton for a total of $151,725.00. This is budgeted in our MFT budget for this year. In addition to that, I recommend that we purchase the following salt brine making and application equipment from Henderson Truck Equipment of Gilberts, Illinois: Brine Xtreme Pro automatic brine maker - $35,729.00 7 - 260 gallon Wedge tanks @ $5100.00 ea - $35,700.00 2 - 460 gallon Wedge tanks @ $5860.00 ea - $11,720.00 9- Dual spread ground speed spreader controllers @ $1740.00 ea - $15,620.00 TOTAL $98,769.00 In order to store enough liquid brine, we will also need to purchase two (2) 4000 gallon storage tanks with fittings, hoses, and a pump to be able to get the material into our trucks. I estimate this cost to be no more than $6000.00. I do not have a specific vendor for these items, but I will shop around and get the best possible price and retain the quality we need for this equipment to perform. Again, the $104,769.00 for the brine making equipment is NOT budgeted. We would take the money out of the PW capital fund for vehicles and equipment and pay it back with future transfers. If any additional bids or quotes come in after this is put into the packet, I will bring the information to the meeting for the council to discuss. I would ask that this be placed on the August 12, 2014 City Council agenda for discussion. If you have any questions, or need further information, please let me know.

Bart Olson Administration Name Department Summary Review of the City’s role in the Plano Waste Transfer Station Siting Application. Background The City received a formal notice of public hearing (attached) for a new waste transfer station at the southwest corner of Corneils Rd and Eldmain Rd in Plano this past week. The first public hearing for the siting process will be held on August 26. As part of the public hearing process, interested parties have the right to file an appearance to offer evidence and present witnesses. The deadline to file an appearance is August 15. City staff is reviewing the application materials and siting ordinance to determine the impact on Yorkville and to make a recommendation as to whether we should participate in the process. The actual siting application is 900+ pages, so we chose not to include it in the City Council packet. While the application is not available on the Plano website, we have chosen to upload it to the front page of Yorkville’s website. The direct link is here - http://www.yorkville.il.us/documents/PlanoTransferStation-Application.pdf. Recommendation A formal recommendation will be given at the City Council meeting, as staff review of the materials was not complete by time of packet creation.

Krysti J. Barksdale-Noble, AICP Community Development Name Department As the City Council will recall, last year staff prepared a proposed new ordinance that would permit residential bee-keeping as an allowable accessory use on certain residentially zoned single-family lots. The ordinance also made provisions for setbacks and fly-way barriers, the permitting process and inspection of the bee colonies, and required notification of adjacent neighbors prior to the installation of the hives. Since that time, the ordinance failed to garner approval by the City Council and was once again brought before the Economic Development Committee (EDC) for reconsideration at their meeting in July. At that meeting, staff was asked to revisit the previously proposed beekeeping within the city limits ordinance to include the following revisions:  Increase the required yard setbacks from the originally proposed twenty-five feet (25’) from any property line to thirty feet (30’) from any property line;  Establish a minimum distance of 1,000 feet between any two (2) beekeeping licenses; and  Limit the overall number of licenses issued for beekeeping within the Yorkville to a maximum of twelve (12). A redline version of the revised draft ordinance which incorporates those proposed changes is attached for your review. In addition, staff has also attached all supporting documentation from the packet of materials previously presented to the EDC and City Council for your reference. 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: Krysti J.

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.

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 4 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 colony with another marked queen. Queens shall be selected from European stock bred for gentleness and nonswarming characteristics. 8-18-8: Colony densities.

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.

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. 2 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. E. Honey bee means all life stages of the common domestic honeybee, Apis mellifera species. F.

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 thirty (30) 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 thirty (30) 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 thirty (30) feet of a dwelling on adjoining property. 8-18-5: Water.

The ordinance also made provisions for the permitting and inspection of the bee colonies and required notification of adjacent neighbors prior to the installation of the hives. However, the ordinance failed to garner the needed vo tes for approval by the City Council at the November 26, 2013 meeting. Since that time, Alderman Frieders, the proponent of the bee -keeping ordinance, has continued to keep the discussion before the public and staff added the topic to the “Visual Yorkville” website as part of the Zoning Code Update process to gather additional feedback from the public (see attached). If the EDC is interested in revisiting the previously proposed bee-keeping ordinance, or possibly considering a communal colony on City-owned land/park site, I have attached staff’s prior memorandums and supporting documents for your reference. Staff will be available at Tuesday night’s meeting to answer any questions the Economic Development Committee may have regarding this agenda item. Memorandum To: Economic Development Committee From: Krysti J. Barksdale-Noble, Community Development Director CC: Bart Olson, City Administrator Date: June 18, 2014 Subject: Beekeeping within City Limits 12 Visualizing Yorkville Zoning Bee Keeping in Yorkville by Joel Frieders 1036113 13 Visualizing Yorkville Zoning Description Is permitting the practice of beekeeping something that would benefit the residents of Yorkville? Borrowing from the ordinances of Evanston, IL and Milwaukee, WI, Yorkville drafted an ordinance that allows for limited beekeeping on properties as a permitted accessory use within one and two-family residentially zoned prop- erties, as well as within business districts. As proposed multi-family residences would not be permitted, due to a min- imum 25 foot setback from adjoining properties and fencing for flyway re- quirements. Read more about the ordinance in the November 5th, 2013 EDC Packet on the Yorkville website. What are your thoughts on this ordinance? Discussion Lisa Peterson (+2) - Incredibly bad idea. I would not under any circumstanses be happy living next to someone that had a bee hive. 15 ft is not far enough away. That is why I purchased a home within city limits. I like the rules and laws that tell people what they can and can’t do. You would think being a good neighbor would be a no brainer, but tell that to the jerk behind us that keeps lighting off fireworks at sometimes as late at 2:00am. If you want to keep a bee hive move outside the city limits. What is the city going to do if someone gets stung and has a severe allergic reaction. Cause I’d be wanting to sue the city if I incured any medical bills. It’s almost as stupid of a move as boting to tell people it’s ok to keep racoons, foxes and chickens as pets. There is supossed to be 4 pets for household & the city doesn’t even enforce that. I am so tired of the dogs and cats that run loose in our neighborhood by irresponsible pet owners. I could not imagine throwing bees into the mix. Ed Bell, Ed.D. - Sorry you are so misinformed about honeybees. Un- fortunately, the language you use would say that you are not open to learning or listening with an open mind. Being a good neighbor also includes listening intelligently to others des 15 Visualizing Yorkville Zoning Discussion (continued) Rachel Davis (+1) - I am a huge supporter of this idea and hope to start my first bee hive in the spring. Honey bees have so many benefits that being able to have a hive in town seems like a no brainer. I don’t get to decide if my neighbor gets a dog that barks all the time, or a cat that always comes in my yard, or a parrot that squaks constantly when the windows are open, so why is everyone so concerned about what someone’s neighbors think. If the public was properly educated about honeys bees, there would be numerous supporters! Lisa Macaione (+1) - I David Scott (+1) - Bees now and chickens tomorrow. This would set the pre- sedence for raising other food producing creatures. Craig Lentzkow (+1) - Beekeeping should be conducted only in agriculturally zone properties. Christopher Cherwin (+1) - I support allowing bee keeping, but feel that there needs to be a minimum property size and population density requirements. Patti Bridge (+1) - Before the honey bee proposal was even considered, I would venture to guess that beehives have been a part of several house- holds within city limits. Education is the key. My grandfather kept bees to help with pollination of his garden and he was within city limits (not Yorkville) and there were no complaints. We have gotten so far away from what is “natural” and are so paranoid about lawsuits that it is actually det- rimental to our society. Beekeeping is such an educational hobby that peo- ple should be encouraged to participate. I strongly believe that one or two honey bee hives per household should be allowed within city limits with no fee (tax) involved.David Scott (+1) - Bees now and chickens tomorrow. This would set the presedence for raising other food producing creatures. Krysti Barksdale-Noble - The November 5, 2013 EDC packet can be viewed in full via the following link http://www.yorkville.il.us/documents/EDCpack- et11-5-13.pdf beginning on page 41. Samuel Parodi - Well the bees might sting the dogs and cats, and force them back inside?!? Christopher Cherwin (+1) - I support allowing bee keeping, but feel that there needs to be a minimum property size and population density requirements. 17 Visualizing Yorkville Zoning Discussion (continued) Roger Murphy - interesting idea but not really for residential ares in the city limits. If the beekeeper introduces a new queen into the hive the bees be- come agitated and nobody better get near the hive for a few days or they will attack! This happened to my wife. the person behind us had his hives on the property line and that day he put on his suit and introduced a new queen into one hive. Of course we or nobody else new that? My wife went out to mow the backyard and when the mower on our property went past the hive on his property the bees started to all come out and fly all around her. she stated to run to the house and a swarm chased her to the patio door,luckily she made it inside but the bees were all on the back of our house. I had to go out the front door and go get the beekeeper. He was nice explained what happened and put his suit on got his smoke can and somehow got the bees back to the hive.. a few days later he moved the hives away from our prop- erty... My biggest concern would be what if that had happened to my young children and not my wife? would they have run or would they have been covered with stinging bees???? Roger Murphy - Be a good neighbor Be considerate of your neigh- bors and their property. Don’t open your hives during conditions that cause bees to be irritable. Also, avoid disturbing your bees when neighbors are working, relaxing, or entertaining in their back yards. Power equipment such as lawn mowers and edge trimmers can disturb bees and make act defensively. Locate your bee hives away from these potential situations with neighbors. Tom Gunseor - keep bees in rural areas, more work keeping bees than ex- pected. if they leave hive they will get into nooks of houses 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.

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.

At the time of applying for a renewal City beekeeping license, the applicant shall 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. 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. Upon receipt of information that any colony situated within the City is not being kept in compliance with this article, the Community Development Director or designee shall cause an investigation to be conducted. If grounds are found to exist to believe that one or more violations have occurred notices of violation for administrative adjudication Ordinance No. 2013-____ Page 5 pursuant to Chapter 14 of Title 1 may be issued or a complaint filed in the circuit court of Kendall County. Section 2: This Ordinance shall be in full force and effect upon its passage, approval, and publication as provided by law. 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. Article updated: 1/9/2012 3:44 PM Page 1of 2Lake County beekeepers seek change in zoning regulation -DailyHerald.com 9/9/2013http://www.dailyherald.com/article/20120109/news/701099812/print/ In an overview written last summer, Bergman notes Lake County had 102 registered beekeepers in 2010 — the fourth largest number in Illinois. 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.

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.

Krysti Barksdale-Noble Community Development Name Department Summary: As the Economic Development Committee (EDC) will recall, in June staff solicited Request for Proposals (RFP) for an update to Yorkville’s current 2008 Comprehensive Plan. At the close of the RFP, the City received a total of five (5) submissions. Upon evaluation of the methodology and proposed project scopes, the review panel, consisting of the Community Development Department, the City Administrator and the City Engineer, interviewed the top four (4) respondent firms.

Below is an overview of the selection process, review criteria, candidate analysis and decision making approach used as a basis for our joint recommendation. RFP Candidates: As previously mentioned, the City received four (4) submissions in response to the Comprehensive Plan Update Request for Proposal.

After tabulating the scores of the staff which reviewed the proposals, an overall score was given. The maximum total score to be obtained by a proposal was 100 points. Below is a detailed description of each criteria area and the point valuation assigned to it. Methodology (40 points) This area reviewed the firm’s explanation of the general and technical approaches and processes to be employed for executing the requirements of the scope of services requested in the RFP. The scope of services includes:  Vision and Goals - Formulation of current and future goals and objectives for the community and focus areas.  Demographics – Compilation of the latest demographic information on a broad-range of social and economic topics.  Community Inventory – Update of relevant background information regarding community facilities, assets and systems.  Transportation Plan – Evaluation of the City’s existing transportation system independently and integrally as part of the regional and state wide system.  Utilities Plan – Assessment of future needs for utility services in Yorkville which includes: sanitary, sewer, water distribution, refuse, electrical, natural gas, telephone, cable and internet services, as well as alternative energies such as wind and solar.  Land Use Plans – Assessment of future land use needs of the City and provide illustrative land use plan details in vignette form to illustrate nodes of development opportunities.  Mapping – Creation of a series of maps depicting existing conditions and future planning objectives.  Branding – Creation of a unique brand of the Comprehensive Plan Update process to be used on all distribution material during the civic engagement program and social media outlets.  Placemaking – Establish policies that address community gateways, community image and integration of major roadway corridors and the preservation of community attributes.  Subarea Plans – Acknowledgement, incorporation and/or development of the following identified subarea plans: o Downtown Master Plan o IL Route 47 Corridor Master o Eldamain Road Corridor Master Plan o Fox Riverfront Development 3 o Neighborhoods o Redevelopment Area Plans  BNSF/Metra Railroad Line – Preparation of future land use and transportation plan recommendations surrounding the area of the proposed future train station depot.  Illinois Railway Railroad – Address land planning strategies surrounding this transportation route.  Blackberry Creek Watershed Action Plan –Incorporate the practices addressed in this plan as part of the future land use designation of properties located within the Blackberry Creek watershed area in the Comprehensive Plan Update.  Economic Development Strategic Plan – Evaluation of the Yorkville’s general market conditions which is characterized by the city’s unique attributes and provide an assessment of any underutilized commercial and retail space opportunities. This will build upon the market study being conducted by the Retail Coach for the south side.  Innovative Civic Engagement – Program of traditional public outreach through focus groups, public open houses, steering committees, etc., as well as non-traditional methods (social media, websites, etc.) to gain input from all segments of Yorkville’s population. Relevant Projects (25 points) A brief summary provided of at least three (3) recent relevant projects which are similar in scope to the Comprehensive Plan Update RFP project objectives. The firms also submitted client contact information for the referenced projects. Project Team Experience (15 points) Resumes and credentials of all personnel assigned to the project including specific experiences each team member will contribute to the project as well as indentifying and defining their individual roles.

Their proposal also offered a three (3) phased approach detailed below under “Methodology”. Methodology In Phase 1 of the Lakota Group’s proposal focuses on the establishment of a dynamic community planning process that involves a wide range of stakeholders and creates a comprehensive information base and analysis maps to facilitate the discussion and understanding of the Yorkville ’s existing conditions. As part of this process, creation of a web-based interactive project site will be developed using MindMixer™, as well as “community speak-outs” will be organized to introduce the planning process to the public. The virtual engagement of residents will be formatted to garner the most information from the population less likely to attend traditional meetings and include visual preference surveys, polling and direct feedback. On-site public interaction will also occur at existing community events, such as the annual Hometown Day’s festivals, and regularly scheduled stakeholder meetings. This phase of the project is estimated to take between six to seven months. During Phase 2, the Lakota Group will begin the visioning and plan framework process of the Comprehensive Plan Update. Ideas and concepts for Yorkville’s long-term future will be generated through vision sessions and workshops involving city leaders, property/business owners and residents. From this idea exchange, a series of planning options will evolve that address a variety of issues and responds to the subarea plans identified in the RFP. A draft of the Comprehensive Plan Update will be prepared. The time allotted for this phase is approximately five to seven months. Finally, in Phase 3 of the proposal, the Lakota Group will further refine the draft plan and implementation strategies by seeking additional community and stakeholder input. Then, based on this input, a second draft plan will be completed. The second draft will serve as the basis for a last round of public input with the final draft plan presented to City Council for review and adoption. This final phase is planned to take approximately five to six months for completion. Relevant Projects Along with their thorough technical approach, The Lakota Group offered seventeen (17) relevant project summaries consisting of: various recent comprehensive plans; downtown and neighborhood master plans; river corridor plans; placemaking plans; market assessment summaries; railroad corridor plans; and transportation planning studies. These projects span a period of 15 years, with the ea rliest in 1999 (Mississippi River Corridor Land Use Plan & Design Principles) and the most recent completed in August 2013 (Moline, Illinois Comprehensive Plan). Staff has reviewed some of these studies and also contacted the former clients to understand the working relationship they had with The Lakota Group and the fulfillment of deliverables promised. The results of those reference interviews as provided under “Candidate References”. Project Team Experience The Lakota Group has provided public and private sector clients with land use planning and site design related services for more than 20 years. The project team assembled for this Comprehensive Plan Update proposes a cross disciplinary approach with engineering and transportation planning provided by T.Y. Lin International and real estate market research perspective by Goodman Williams Group. 5 Project Cost & Project Schedule Per the proposal, The Lakota Group will provide the Comprehensive Plan Update for $111,336, which includes five percent (5%) for reimbursable expenses estimated at $5,300.00. The fee estimate includes visits/travel, meetings and workshops outlined in the work plan, as well as the production of materials and copies required as part of the RFP. The proposal cost is near the midpoint of the submitted proposal costs. Finally, this proposal is estimated to have a 12-14 month draft project preparation schedule with a total completion schedule of 18-20 months for draft revisions and adoption by the City Council. Furthermore, even with the addition of the robust recruitment campaign, it still was reasonably and competitively priced. Camiros’ Proposal While Camiros’ overall aggregate score of 81 out of 100 was the lowest of the four (4) firms, their interview presentation and civic engagement program offered was the most dynamic of the group. The highlight of their civic engagement strategy was the creation of a community web-based survey platform. This interactive survey program offers visual preference options and direct feedback by the public on related planning scenarios on-site in a flexible, quick and engaging presentation on a mobile tablet. The idea of using this form of technology was to not only supplement the face-to-face interaction, but engage people where they were and ask those specific planning related questions about the immediately surrounding area. This also could lead users to connect to other non-traditional tools used to solicit input from the public during this process (i.e., social media, websites, etc...). Where staff felt Camiros’ proposal was the weakest in was the lack of diversity in the project team make-up which also was reflected in the scoring for methodology. Camiros, a planning and site design firm, proposed to partner with Schoppe Design Associates, also a planning, landscaping and site design firm. While the planning heavy approach is understandable, a more balanced approach with regards to economic development, engineering and even transportation planning would have proved beneficial in addressing the various components of the Comprehensive Plan RFP. Additionally, it was stated in the RFP response that the “Camiros team will formulate a strategic plan for economic development” and “….build upon the work of the [Southside Retail] market study to identify development/redevelopment sites for commercial development”, however the project team presented lacked a specialized consultant in the field of market analysis and/or economic development which the other three (3) firms proposed. Finally, Camiros’ project schedule was the shortest of all proposals submitted at twelve (12) months and their fee was the highest of the interviewed firms, just over $115,000, and the second highest proposal submitted. HR Green’s Proposal As indicated in the categorical scoring, HR Green’s proposal scored very well in their methodology, project team experience and schedule. While the diversity of the project team was present (inclusive of planning, engineering, transportation, economic development and social media) and efficiently provided for “in-house”, it was staff’s opinion that the proposal fell short in recent relevant project experience. While it was noted in the interview that HR Green would be undertaking a similar Comprehensive Plan Update for another community, the most recent Comprehensive Plan projects were dated between the years of 2007-2009, excluding the Comprehensive Plan Update HR Green (formerly SEC Group) and Schoppe Design Associates completed for the City of Yorkville in 2002. Teska Associates’ Proposal The RFP response submitted by Teska Associates was very similar to the Camiros proposal with regard to methodology. It was staff’s opinion, that although a market study/economic development consultant was provided as part of the project team; the overall proposal lacked an in-depth response to the RFP scope of services components. 6 Houseal LaVigne Assoc. Proposal The RFP response submitted by Houseal LaVigne and Associates was the only proposal to not include all the requested sub-area plans as part of the scope of services and specifically stated that “[t]he subareas to be studied will be identified in Task 3, but are subject to budget constraints on the project.” Incidentally, Houseal LaVigne’s proposal had the highest project fee of all RFP’s submitted at approximately $118,000. Based upon this, it was staff’s decision not to advance this firm to the interview process. The Lakota Group’s References: In support of staff’s recommendation for RFP contract award to The Lakota Group for the Comprehensive Plan Update, we have conducted reference interviews with previous clients of The Lakota Group and summarized those discussions below. Jeff Anderson – City of Moline: Enjoyed working with the Lakota Group. They brought a unique perspective to the Comp plan. The Riverfront Project turned out well and had favorable comments from elected officials and citizens. The community involvement was great. Pretty traditional meetings, but their citizen contribution was great. Used social media and was well responded to by citizens. The goals and objectives were reasonable and the path moving forward was realistic. Checked their egos at the door and listened to the public and city staff. They brought creative and neat ideas to the community. Would work with them again. Donald Aleksy – City of LaSalle: Worked very well with city staff. Did a great job with civic engagement. Mainly used traditional methods, but were effective for that community. LaSalle had huge zoning issues and this comp plan started to address them. The current council is now starting to get into compliance with the comp plan. They were overall impressed and a pleasure to work with. Working on Phase II as part of the recommendations of Lakota. Would work with them again. Heather Tabbert – RTA: Worked on dozens of projects with Goodwin Williams. Great results and understandable. Recommendations were realistic. One issue was back-up data. Recommended pushing to receive the data. Staff Recommendation: Based on the strong methodology, multi-disciplined project team, reasonable proposed project costs and favorable reference reviews, it is staff’s recommendation to award the RFP contract for the Yorkville Comprehensive Plan Update 2014 to the Lakota Group for a total commitment of $111,336.00 as outlined in the RFP submittal. The Lakota Group will be in attendance at Tuesday’s meeting to provide a brief presentation of their proposal and answer any questions the EDC members may have regarding this agenda item. united city of yorkville COMPREHENSIVE PLAN uPdAtE JuNE 6, 2014 rfP Goodman Williams Group ty lin international LAKOTA Ms. Krysti Barksdale-Noble June 6, 2014 Community Development Director United City of Yorkville 800 Game Farm Road Yorkville, IL 60560 Re: Comprehensive Plan Update Dear Ms. Barksdale-Noble: On behalf of The Lakota Group, Goodman Williams Group, and T.Y. Lin International, we are pleased to present our professional services proposal to prepare a Comprehensive Plan for the United City of Yorkville that will help guide the community’s future land use and development decision-making. Our Team understands that the City and other key stakeholders are seeking to address important comprehensive plan issues for the traditional downtown, the Illinois Route 74 and Eldamain Road corridors, the Fox Riverfront, potential development sites, community design and appearance, neighborhoods, and environmentally-sensitive areas, among other planning needs. More importantly, this comprehensive plan assignment represents a significant opportunity to build on previous planning efforts and to create a compelling vision that reflects the community’s values and desires for the future. Our Team comprises skilled professionals in land use planning, downtown and neighborhood revitalization, market assessments and economic development, place-making and urban design, waterfront development, sustainability, and transportation and civil engineering. Our Team is also highly skilled in developing comprehensive implementation strategies focused on using private, public and community partnerships to achieve short and long-range planning goals. Last, it is our intention to develop a Comprehensive Plan Update based solidly on effective community engagement that garners community input and ownership in every facet of the planning process and in its final outcomes. Our engagement approach combines and integrates traditional methods of listening to people face- to-face with the latest internet technologies that can capture the thoughts and ideas of stakeholders that may not ordinarily participate in community shout-out sessions, workshops and town hall meetings. We are excited about this project and the prospect of working with the residents and stakeholders of Yorkville. We look forward to discussing our submittal with you and your selection committee. Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have. You may reach me at sfreres@thelakotagroup.com or directly at 312-467- 5445 ex. 202.

However, there are several challenges that face yorkville beyond the after-effects of the 2008 real estate market collapse, including managing downtown reinvestment and revitalization efforts, capitalizing on the fox River riverfront area, guiding timely development along Illinois Route 47 and other vital corridors, maintaining momentum in subdivision build-out, and implementing needed urban design and placemaking enhancements that can bind together yorkville’s developing areas with its traditional core downtown and neighborhoods. while yorkville is a growing community, it needs to establish a “sense of place” – a “feeling” for the community that can be accomplished through effective place-making strategies, which, in the end, can help attract new residents, businesses and visitors. the new Comprehensive Plan will incorporate these elements and provide strategies for guiding the united City of yorkville into the future. the Lakota team also recognizes that this comprehensive planning assignment is an important opportunity to align with the principles and goals of CMAP’s GO tO 2040. this Comprehensive Plan update assignment also presents an opportunity for the Lakota Group, ty Lin International and the Goodman williams Group to apply our collective knowledge and skill sets to solve critical planning issues that are of particular importance to the yorkville community and of significant interest to the Lakota team.

Placemaking strategies should also enhance the City’s visual appearance and unique sense of place. • Conduct an assessment of the City’s sanitary, public utilities, and stormwater management systems and consider implementation actions for system improvement and rehabilitation. • devise an implementation strategy for financing priority capital improvements outlays, especially for those projects recommended within the Comprehensive Plan. • Create a set of benchmarks to measure the success of achieving community sustainability goals and implementation of the Comprehensive Plan - benchmarks that measure changes in the physical environment as well as quality of life elements. • Coordinate with neighboring municipalities, governments and agencies to create partnerships, solve regional issues and coordinate investment across municipal boundaries. • determine any obstacles, whether regulatory, financial or political in nature, to reinvestment in buildings, business and infrastructure in critical areas, opportunity development sites and districts • Outline implementation strategies that are both comprehensive and creative, and that not only consider the roles of government entities in the implementation process but also various other organizations and agencies, including the yorkville Economic development Corporation, the yorkville Chamber of Commerce, non-profit entities, business associations, and local citizen groups. Above all, implementation strategies must also be achievable by making the most of existing partnership opportunities and resources. • undertake an effective and efficient planning process that completes the Comprehensive Plan in a timely manner while incorporating ample opportunities for community participation and feedback. • Promote community sustainability and economic resiliency in line with the goals for Community Livability, Human Capital, Regional Mobility, and Efficient Government as set forth in CMAP’s Go to 40 Comprehensive Regional Plan. the primary purpose of the City of yorkville Comprehensive Plan update and its related implementation strategies is to help guide the City’s long term development and revitalization, as well as address critical issues related to housing, transportation, economic development, energy efficiency, enhanced community design and aesthetics, access to open space, historic resources, and achieving a more diverse, sustainable and resilient economy. the Comprehensive Plan will also focus on key implementation strategies that identify key implementation partners and stakeholder groups and critical short and long-term actions. Our team has envisioned this process as an opportunity to connect stakeholders and residents with each other in an open, on-going dialogue in creating a shared vision for the community’s long-term growth and quality-of-life. this vision should also embrace and build on the community’s unique strengths and attributes. Our team proposes a planning that meets the need of the local community in terms of project timeline and community engagement activities. the Lakota team will use a customized public engagement campaign as the platform for testing and refining the goals and objectives of the previous Comprehensive Plan. Additionally, the unique qualifications and experience of the Lakota team will allow for more in-depth exploration of topics related to neighborhood revitalization, housing, transportation and commercial development. Additionally, our graphic design skills will help to create a plan document that is easy to read and more “magazine” than “encyclopedia” in format. Project aPProach united city of yorkville comprehensive plan update 2014 10 coMMunity enGAGeMent the Lakota team will work closely with the united City of yorkville, and other local and regional stakeholders throughout the planning process to solicit and gather ideas and input so that this Comprehensive Plan update reflects a strong consensus of the community. Our team understands that a particular community’s stakeholder level of interest and participation in a planning process can vary significantly. therefore, our teams collective history and experience of working on similar assignments in growing communities suggests that the appropriate means and venues for stakeholder interaction, outreach, and feedback must be identified and understood early on before the planning process begins. In other words, a carefully designed, customized community engagement process that meets local needs and circumstances will be developed in close collaboration with the City and other key stakeholders before planning process starts in earnest. At a minimum, however, our teams approach will include: area/site tour(s), stakeholder focus groups, a community “shout-out” and “open houses”, electronic media outreach, steering committee review meetings, a project website, and various presentations. Engagement options that could be considered as part of the planning process include: • MindMixer Website and citizen input Sessions. MindMixer is an internet-based program for project websites and virtual town hall meetings — where citizens can e-mail or post comments on plan concepts and ideas remotely on the project website or during a community workshop or open house. the MindMixer website can also be used to post other questions for community feedback during the time periods between workshops and meetings. the MindMixer website is included in the cost proposal; MindMixer interactive features can be activated by client choice for workshops, surveys and public commenting periods. • Speak-outs. A speak-out” is a lively and interactive staffed exhibition - a hybrid event combining some of the characteristics of an open house with an existing special event. the purpose is to provide an informal and interactive “public meeting” environment where a wide range of people have a chance to participate. It is designed to facilitate structured “drop-in” participation about planning and design issues. Participants come to the venue, find the issues on which they wish to “speak-out” and have their say. the speak-out can be used at the beginning of the process or during the visioning phase. Project aPProach 11 united city of yorkville comprehensive plan update 2014 Project aPProach • Stakeholder interviews and focus Groups. the Lakota team believes that best way to gain insight on community planning issues and concerns is to talk directly stakeholders. this proposal suggests at least two full days of interviews with key stakeholders groups. A specific day-time or evening focus group session should be organized for downtown merchants and property owners. • Postcards from the future. If you visited yorkville in 2020 or 2025, what would you see? this is the question to pose to people through postcards that Lakota designs (pre-paid postage of course). this is an inexpensive way to getting a lot of vision statements and ideas from residents and business owners. these are distributed through multiple forums and at events. • do-it-yourself Budgeting. this is the public’s chance to put their money where their priorities are during open houses and workshops. Piggy banks are created and used with fake money to help participants understand budgeting constraints and communicate what is most important to them. It is an excellent interactive exercise in open houses and public meetings. • community immersion field office. As an option, the Lakota team could staff a field Office within an existing space or storefront in the City as a base of operations to conduct planning speak-outs, workshops, focus groups and town meetings. • Public comprehensive Plan Workstation. As an option, a Comprehensive Plan “workstation” could be placed at City Hall or the Public Library to provide residents without computer access a direct link to the project web-page and other project related data and updates. At the end of the project, the workstation would have an on-line friendly version of the final Comprehensive Plan. • Pinterest Bulletin Board. As an option, an electronic bulletin could be established on Pinterest for residents and stakeholders to post ideas on yorkville’s future. • facebook and twitter. facebook and twitter can be employed to disseminate information, especially as an extension to the MindMixer Project website. • Steering committee Meetings. this proposal includes scheduled meetings for a Comprehensive Plan Steering Committee at certain milestone dates during the planning process. Additional Steering Committee meetings can be undertaken on monthly or bi-monthly basis to discuss planning issues and solutions. the Lakota team will also assist the City in the establishment of a Project Steering Committee, which will help bring the public bodies and community businesses and residents together in guiding the planning process. the Steering Committee can be composed of members of the City Council, the Plan Commission and Zoning Board of Appeals, the yorkville Economic development Corporation, local businesses and property owners, industries, developers, local school districts, the yorkville Chamber of Commerce, kendall County, media, institutions, other governmental agencies, and local residents. All deliverables, including draft and final Reports and Plans will be provided in electronic format with the exception of the final Comprehensive Plan update, which will be provided in both electronic and paper formats. Plan deliverables as described in the work program below can be posted in the Project website. ProJect BrAndinG the Lakota Group will work with the City to create a project logo that can be used to brand the comprehensive planning process. Lakota has developed logos and brand images for several different projects, including, most recently, the Comprehensive Plans for La Salle and Moline, Illinois. the logo will be used on the project website, project materials and in the Comprehensive Plan update document. ProJect Work PlAn Our team has outlined a three-phase planning process with each of the required work tasks identified in the RfP clearly identified, including meeting and deliverable milestones. Branding image from Moline’s Comprehensive Planning process. 13 united city of yorkville comprehensive plan update 2014 work Plan PHASE 1: StAtE Of tHE uNItEd CIty Of yORkVILLE & PuBLIC ENGAGEMENt the focus of Phase 1 is to establish a dynamic community planning process that involves a wide range of stakeholders and to create a comprehensive information base and analysis maps to facilitate discussion and understanding of existing conditions. the information and maps produced during this phase will determine and clearly define community constraints, weaknesses, strengths and opportunities, as well as form the basis for future planning directions and for preparing the Comprehensive Plan update. Phase 1 will include a comprehensive review and assessment of the following: • 2008 Comprehensive Plan and other relevant Studies and Plans • Existing Land-use Mix • Infrastructure, Sanitary Sewer and utilities • Existing transportation System, Roadways, transit- Oriented development, and transportation Plans • Stormwater Management Systems, floodplain and Blackberry Creek watershed, and Environmental Conditions • Neighborhoods, Housing Conditions and Subdivisions • downtown Building Conditions, Adaptive use Opportunities, urban design and Business development • Corridors, Commercial Areas and Industrial Parks • Municipal and Governmental facilities and future facility Needs • Educational and Religious Institutions • Community Market and development trends • Zoning and Subdivision Codes • Recent/Pending Private developments and Public Projects • waterfront Enhancement and development • tourism, Parks and Recreational Activities and trends • Historic and Cultural Resources • development Opportunity Sites and key Sub-Areas • Real Estate Inventories, tax Rates, Residential and Commercial Prices/Lease Rates, Major Employers, and other relevant Economic development Information • List of Active Community and Neighborhood Associations and Organizations Along with document and data review, the first-phase of the process will include on-site field work and focus group and key stakeholder interviews. the data analyses and stakeholder interviews will be summarized in a separate document and incorporated in a Comprehensive Plan Concepts and directions Report, which will include a review of existing conditions and issues related to transportation, infrastructure and sanitary sewer and water supply systems, market and housing conditions, land use and development opportunities. the culmination of these efforts will prepare stakeholders to move into the visioning segment of the Phase 1 planning process. during this segment, the team, together with City leaders and a Comprehensive Plan Steering Committee, will work together to generate a range of ideas and concepts for enhancing all sectors of the community through a Community Speak-Out event. the Speak-Out is not a typical lecture/discussion format workshop  in fact, there will be no formal presentation given by the Lakota team. the Speak-Out format provides an opportunity for yorkville residents and other hard-to-engage stakeholder groups to view exhibits on existing conditions, take a Visual Preference Survey, participate in other interactive exercises, and discuss planning constraints and opportunities with the Planning team. Ideally, a Speak-Out should be organized in tandem with an existing community event to garner maximum community participation. Perhaps the Speak- Out could be conducted during the Annual Hometown days, for example. to go beyond basic land use thinking and to assist the community in visualizing its physical development potential, the Lakota team can prepare design studies of critical sub-areas or opportunity sites identified during the analysis phase. Lakota is known for its “Min-Mid-Max” approach, which involves presenting multiple concepts for sub-areas or key opportunity sites to help community leaders and residents visualize the physical scale, character, context and economic impact of potential development. the results of the Speak-Out, along with the existing conditions analysis will be incorporated into a Comprehensive Plan Concepts and direction Report, which will outline issues and opportunities and preliminary planning goals, strategies and recommendations. the Concepts and direction Report must be sensitive to the multiple needs of the community and responsive to its land use, physical and market constraints and overall revitalization potential. united city of yorkville comprehensive plan update 2014 14 tASk 1.1: ProJect WeBSite Lakota will create a MindMixer project website that will describe the overall planning project and process. the website will also be used to post project updates, draft and final plan documents, workshop materials, surveys, and plan drawings. the website will have its brand logo and can also be highly interactive with links to a facebook page, twitter account or to other websites, including the City’s. tASk 1.2: ProJect StArt MeetinG And coMMunity tour (MeetinG #1) the team will conduct a project start meeting with the united City of yorkville to introduce the team and discuss: • Planning Mission • Initial Planning Goals and Objectives • Initial Planning Issues and Challenges • work Plan and Schedule • Available data, Resources, and Resource People the work Plan and Schedule will be refined based on input received during the Project Start Meeting.

Village of La Grange Market Assessments for Comprehensive Plan and BNSF Rail Corridor Plan Challenge:Assess the current and future development environment in the west suburban community of La Grange, focusing on the area downtown along the Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) Rail Corridor. Background: Goodman Williams Group was part of a team headed by HNTB that was retained by the Village of La Grange to update its Comprehensive Plan. Concurrently, the Regional Transportation Authority (RTA) contributed funds to complete a plan for the BNSF corridor that runs from downtown La Grange to the West End Business District. The RTA was interested in identifying opportunities for Transit-Oriented Development adjacent to the two train stations in La Grange. Goodman Williams Group completed the following tasks as part of this effort:  Conducted a shopper intercept survey in the downtown area to gain a better understanding of shopper preferences and identify the trade area supporting the downtown merchants and restaurants. This task was part of a broader retail market overview that identified opportunities for additional development.  Analyzed the market for additional multifamily condominium development and potential mixed-use projects.  Identified opportunities for expanding professional office space and cultural/entertainment uses that would attract more people into the downtown.  Affirmed the on-going viability of the industrial areas located along the IHB rail tracks at the eastern border of La Grange. Outcome: After presenting its findings to the consultant team and Steering Committee, HNTB incorporated these market findings into a new comprehensive plan and a plan for the rail corridor. Subsequently, Goodman Williams Group was retained by the Village to assess market support for a proposed mixed-use project on the site of the former Rich Port YMCA. Client:Patrick Benjamin Community Development Director 708-579-2319 Village of Mokena Market Assessments for Station Area Plan Challenge:Assess current and future development opportunities in Downtown Mokena, a fast growing Will County suburb on the southern edge of the Chicago metropolitan area. Background: Goodman Williams Group was part of a team headed by the planning firm HNTB that was retained by the Regional Transportation Authority (RTA) and the Village of Mokena to develop a plan for the area surrounding the Mokena - Front Street Station on Metra’s Rock Island District Line. Goodman Williams Group completed the following tasks as part of the assessment of transit-friendly development opportunities:  Interviewed key downtown business owners, civic leaders, and representatives of the real estate industry to learn of their business plans and ideas for improving the downtown.  Participated in a public workshop to solicit ideas for specific parcels and areas subject to change, including the industrial parcels on Walnut Lane and key parcels along Wolf Road.  Analyzed current and projected demographic and household characteristics to gain an understanding of future demand for various land uses.  Inventoried retail, residential, and commercial developments in Mokena and surrounding communities to determine their competitive market positions. Outcome: Goodman Williams Group identified specific retail, entertainment, office, and residential development opportunities in Downtown Mokena. These recommendations seek to take advantage of the Metra station and the proposed Yunker Farm Park, while positioning downtown in the context of the developing 191st Street Corridor and larger commercial projects at Wolf Road and Lincoln Highway. These market findings were incorporated into a Station Area Plan, which was completed in 2008. Client: Ms. Heather Tabbert Project Manager Regional Transportation Authority tabberth@rtachicago.org 312-913-3244 Market Study for Mixed-Use Development First Street LLC St. Charles, IL Challenge: Provide a third-party assessment of the market assumptions for a mixed-use development on a key parcel in Downtown St. Charles. Background: STC Development, in seeking financial support from the City of St. Charles, engaged Goodman Williams Group to analyze the market for its proposed mixed- used development on First Street in Downtown St. Charles. The project included three uses: 120,000 square feet of office, 110,000 square feet of retail, and 200,000 square feet of residential. To meet a requirement for a quick turnaround, the firms of Deborah L. Brett & Associates and Valerie S. Kretchmer Associates were secured as subcontractors to Goodman Williams Group. As part of this assignment, the team completed the following tasks: • Documented the competitive office inventory, including projects that were under construction and proposed. A detailed description of existing types of downtown office tenants and an employment analysis shed light on the categories of users likely to be attracted to the new office space. • Presented conclusions on achievable office rents and prices, and estimated average annual absorption. • Estimated achievable sale prices and annual average absorption of the proposed development’s for-sale condominiums and townhouses based on an analysis of existing and new units in comparable projects in Geneva and other Fox River Valley communities. • Estimated rents and absorption for the proposed rental apartments. • Assessed the strengths and weaknesses of the downtown retail market and presented conclusions on the achievable commercial rents. We also recommended types of retail that would best complement the existing mix. • Recommended appropriate phasing of the new retail development. Outcome: Upon completion of the study in 2005, the City of St. Charles entered into development agreements for the First Street Redevelopment Project. Some downtown buildings have been demolished, streets rebuilt, and infrastructure upgraded as first steps in the development plan. Completed development includes office space, condominium units, and a public parking garage.

Founders Crossing Homer Glen, IL 60491 cdavis@homerglen.org Start Date: December 2005 Completion Date: April 2007 Planning Fee: $151,000 Subconsultant: Fish Transportation Group Key Personnel: Project Manager James Considine, AICP, PTP Project Principal John LaPlante, P.E., PTOE Staff Planner Timothy Gustafson, AICP T.Y. Lin International (TYLI) was selected to prepare a transportation plan for the Village of Homer Glen, a recently incorporated municipality in southwestern suburban Chicago. Homer Glen, located in growing Will County, was projected to experience a significant increase in population and traffic volume with the expansion of the I-355 North-South Tollway. This was expected to greatly impact local roadways and traffic patterns. The Village desired a transportation plan that would respond to these developments. The information gathered in the preliminary steps was used to determine significant traffic generators, average daily traffic, jurisdiction of roadways, functional roadway classification (present and future), roadway level of service (present and future) and planned improvements. A traffic analysis was undertaken and used to determine needed roadways and intersection improvements that were needed. Guidelines were developed for roadway cross sections, pedestrian and bicycle facilities, access control, street connectivity, and traffic calming measures. Important consideration was given to including right-of-way improvements for landscaping, bicycles, and pedestrians with any proposed widening of county and state routes. TYLI also addressed the Village of Homer Glen’s commitment to a Green Vision Plan. The Plan recommended transportation improvements which not only improved the safety and mobility of the traveling public, but also sought to preserve and enhance the scenic, economic, historic and natural qualities of their settings. The Plan proposed a system to connect the existing and future roadway system in the Village. This connection was suggested as a means of lowering traffic volume on main roadways. Providing for a safe and attractive environment for non-motorized transportation was also a key component of the presented project—the implementation of a shared-use path system and consideration of the concept of Complete Streets were reviewed. A ten-year capital improvement plan for the Village’s roadways, pedestrian, bicycle and public transportation improvement was prepared. Public involvement was an important aspect of the planning process. A task force was formed to review all aspects of the plan. Several community open houses were held to allow public comment. One open house included a key-pad polling session. The polling session was run in conjunction with the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning (CMAP) and provided feedback on key policy issues.

This regional effort included 15 municipalities, 2 counties, IDOT, the Illinois Tollway, and the regional transit agencies. The intent of the project was to promote smart growth solutions for the future development of the corridor. These solutions involved regional coordination, transit and bicycling, roadway connectivity and compact-mixed use development that encouraged walking and transit use. Regional planning efforts involved helping the municipalities identify the relationships that their land use actions have with the development of the region. TYLI recommended coordination efforts to mitigate future growth impacts from traffic. The corridor study included a toolbox that contained design concepts, policy recommendations, and planning activities to coordinate and promote transit, roadway connectivity, walking and compact development.

THE CITY OF YORKVILLE The Kendall County and Yorkville area was first settled around 1829-1832. The first reported permanent structure in the area was built in 1833 by Earl Adams. The structure was located south of the Fox River, atop of the hill which is now home to the Kendall County Courthouse. During the same time, Lyman and Burr Bristol began to develop property north of the Fox River. During the years 1834-1836 the communities of Bristol (north of the Fox River) and Yorkville (south of the Fox River), were platted. These communities continued to grow as similar, but separate, entities for over 100 years with Bristol incorporating as a village in 1861 and Yorkville in 1873. The two communities merged as the United City of Yorkville, a non-home rule community with a mayor-council form of government, in 1957. For the next almost twenty (20) years, Yorkville maintained its rural community heritage cornerstoned by the Fox River and the factories and saw mill industry which took advantage of this natural resource. A prosperous downtown business district, located along Illinois Route 47 (also known as Bridge Street), helped to facilitate the areas first growth of residential and commercial development. Then in 1972, the Countryside Center opened north of the River at the intersection of US 34 and Route 47 creating a secondary hub of commercial and retail businesses in the area. The City of Yorkville’s municipal boundaries grew in 1990 as far west as Eldamain Road, as far north as Galena Road, south past Legion Road and east past Route 71. During this time, manufacturing development began to thrive with the establishment of the Fox Industrial Park on the south end of town and the Wrigley Corporation opening its headquarters of the Amurol Confection Division just north of Route 47 and Cannonball Trail. Over the next twenty (20) years, the United City of Yorkville would expand to cover approximately 20 square miles and experience tremendous increase in population. A 2008 report by the United States Census Bureau identified Kendall County, Illinois, in which the United City of Yorkville is the county seat, as the fastest growing county in the nation from 2000 to 2007 with a 77.5% increase in population during this time. According to the U.S. Census data, Yorkville’s population has increased approximately 273% between 2000 and 2010, from 6,189 residents to 16,921 residents. Current population for Yorkville is estimated to be 17,495 residents, according to the United States Census Bureau QuickFacts™ report.1 As the boom of residential development continued, the United City of Yorkville reached its peak of new home starts in 2006, issuing 753 new home construction building permits. In 2007, Kendall Marketplace – a 17-acre acre multi-tenant regional lifestyle center development opened followed by the Rush Copley Medical Center, both located west of Bridge Street on US 34 (also known as Veterans Parkway). Several new ordinances and codes were adopted at this time to help guide the long-term development of the city, such as Architectural Design Guidelines, Integrated Transportation Plan (ITP), and the United City of Yorkville 2008 Comprehensive Plan Update. However, in 2008 the economic downturn slowed the pace of residential development around the country and particularly in Yorkville. While new home starts hit a low of 42 and 43 permits in 2010 and 2011, respectively, the United City of Yorkville decided to implement an innovative residential construction incentive program to spur new home starts. The Buyers of Undeveloped Infill Lot Discount (B.U.I.L.D.) program has contributed to the steady increase of new home constructed on vacant lots within existing subdivision, helping the market to absorb 150 of the over 9,500 vacant lot inventory in just two (2) years. With new residential development slowly recovering in Yorkville, commercial redevelopment has also been spurred with the opening of a new 38,500 square foot cinema complex in 2013 located in the former Countryside development, now known as Kendall Crossing. Additional community and government information can be found about the United City of Yorkville on our website at http://www.yorkville.il.us/. B. PROJECT SUMMARY The United City of Yorkville is requesting proposals from qualified firms with considerable experience in community design, land use and environmental planning, economic analysis and civic engagement strategies to update its Comprehensive Plan. Interested consultants must submit proposals as described herein no later than June 6, 2014. A Comprehensive Plan should be a collaborative effort and written expression of the community’s long-term vision for the growth of the city. It is expected that the Comprehensive Plan guides this vision through a set of agreed 1 http://quickfacts.census.gov/qfd/states/17/1784038.html upon goals, objectives and strategies against which future actions and policy decisions are measured. In order for this visionary document to remain relevant and be effective, the Comprehensive Plan must be updated periodically to reflect the changing demographics as well as the social, physical and economic conditions of the community it represents. In that regard, the United City of Yorkville (“City”) seeks a qualified consultant to take the lead in the research, preparation and adoption of an update to the Comprehensive Plan Update of 2008. The selected consultant will work under the direction of the City’s Community Development Director, with assistance from the Plan Commission and City Council. The planning horizon for the updated plan will be twenty (20) years. II. SCOPE OF SERVICES A. PROPOSAL REQUIREMENTS Proposals will be considered only from qualified firms with a preference to firms that are based in Illinois and familiar with Illinois law. Each proposal will consist of a maximum of 25 pages (excluding appendices) and should include the following:  Letter of Transmittal – prepared on company letterhead identifying the name of the key contact, address, phone number and email address.  Executive Summary – succinct explanation of the Consultant’s interest in the project and why the firm is uniquely qualified for this project.  Organizational Profile - brief description of the firm’s structure and capabilities, length of time in business, and previous work experience.  Proposed Project Team - provide resumes of all personnel, including outside consultants that will be assigned to the project including specific experiences each team member will contribute to the project.

Indication of proposed milestones should also be included. The City reserves the right to negotiate work tasks and schedule prior to finalizing a contract with the selected firm.  Project Fees – provide a fee breakdown of the proposed fees of the research project, with appropriate explanatory detail justifying costs and calculations. Please submit hourly rates for each individual as well.  Signature/Certification – proposal must be signed by an official authorized to bind the offer and shall contain a statement that the proposal is a firm offer guaranteed for a ninety (90) day period from the submittal deadline. The proposal shall also provide the following information: name, title, address, telephone number and e-mail address of the person(s) with authority to contractually bind the company and also who may be contacted during the period of proposal evaluation for the purpose of clarifying submitted information. B. PROJECT COMPONENTS The Comprehensive Plan Update 2014 shall include short, mid and long- term planning strategies relative to the identified elements identified herein. An implementation plan should include potential funding sources for recommendations, a designation of responsible parties to implement each recommendation, and a suggested timeframe. The implementation plan should help to frame options for budget programming and prioritization of action items. The structure of the Plan will address the following matters and others identified through civic engagement and discussion:  Vision and Goals – The United City of Yorkville routinely surveys its residents and local stakeholders on general and specific topics via mailings and social media. These efforts can be used to supplement an extensive civic engagement process to formulate current goals and objectives for the community and focus areas.  Demographics – Kendall County, the United City of Yorkville and its surrounding municipalities has experienced significant physical expansion and residential development since 2003; however the previous Comprehensive Plan Update completed in 2008 had only the 2000 decennial census data and a subsequent 2005 Special Census report as population data references. The Comprehensive Plan Update 2014 will compile the latest demographic information on a broad-range of social and economic topics.  Community Inventory – The Comprehensive Plan will update relevant background information regarding community facilities, assets and systems.  Transportation Plan – The Comprehensive Plan Update 2014 should evaluate the City’s existing transportation system independently and integrally as part of the regional and state wide system. The Plan shall assess multimodal and multipurpose transportation options as adopted in the 2009 United City of Yorkville’s Integrated Transportation Plan (ITP). The ITP is a guide to improve and encourage bicycle and pedestrian transportation in Yorkville and should be reviewed and incorporated as appropriate into the Comprehensive Plan update.  Utilities Plan – The Comprehensive Plan Update 2014 should address future needs for utility services in Yorkville, which includes: sanitary sewer, water distribution, refuse, electrical, natural gas, telephone, cable and internet services. Additional alternative energies should also be considered such as solar and wind.  Land Use Plans – The Comprehensive Plan Update 2014 will assess future land use needs of the city and provide illustrative land use plan details in vignette form to illustrate nodes of development opportunities.  Mapping – The Comprehensive Plan Update 2014 will create a series of maps depicting existing conditions and future planning objectives.  Branding – The United City of Yorkville would be interested in branding the City’s Comprehensive Plan Update process in a similar manner to the recent Zoning Code Update process which used the brand “Visualize Yorkville Zoning” (http://www.civicartworks.com/projects/visualizing- yorkville-zoning/ideas). The Consultant would be required to develop a brand and logo for all distribution materials to be provided as part of the civic engagement process and social media.  Placemaking – The Plan shall set out policies that address community gateways, community image, and integration of major roadway corridors and the preservation of community attributes.  Downtown Master Plan – Community interest and development inquires within Yorkville’s downtown is rising due to recent renovations and reuse of iconic buildings as well as the effects of the widening of Illinois Route 47. The roadway reconstruction project will require the existing buildings to reorient their entrances to the rear of the structure and lose on-street parking. The downtown is also located within a Tax Increment Finance District (TIF). Engagement of downtown business and stakeholders utilizing innovative participation techniques is essential.  IL Route 47 Corridor Master Plan – IL Route 47 is an 8.40 mile corridor which serves as the only major north/south thoroughfare within the City of Yorkville. The current widening and reconstruction roadway project, which began in 2013, extends from IL Route 71 to the south to US 34 to the north, and is scheduled to conclude in 2015-2016 construction season. The Comprehensive Plan Update will address the land uses and provide nodes of development opportunities for the properties immediately adjacent to the roadway. An assessment of retail, office and industrial markets will be required of the Consultant to fuel discussion of economic development and land use polices and strategies.  Eldamain Road Corridor Master Plan – This Kendall County arterial roadway forms the most western boundary of Yorkville’s corporate limits. A proposed extension of Eldamain Road from U.S. 34 to Walker Road will create the only continuous north/south route across Kendall County. The Comprehensive Plan Update will reassess future development opportunities along this corridor.  Fox Riverfront Development – The United City of Yorkville embraces the Fox River as a viable amenity capable of attracting businesses and new development along its waterfront. The new Marge Cline Whitewater Course is a state-of-the-art kayak/canoe chute located in the heart of the downtown on the Fox River at Bicentennial Riverfront Park. The City recently was awarded an Open Space Land Acquisition and Development (OSLAD) grant from the Illinois Department of Natural Resources for the Bicentennial Riverfront Park which will include a new playground, trail, fishing pier, boat launch, canoe beach, etc… The Comprehensive Plan Update 2014 will provide guiding principles and land planning strategies for re-imagining ways in which visitors and residents interact with Yorkville’s waterfront.  Neighborhoods – The core of the City has established residential neighborhoods with limited areas for infill development. The Consultant will identify the unique characteristics of these neighborhoods and create a set of objectives for future land use which will be reflected in the goals and strategies.  Redevelopment Area Plans – During the boom of residential development in the early 2000’s, the United City of Yorkville approved and entitled several commercial and residential developments which were never constructed and remain vacant. The identification of targeted future land uses and design elements for these redevelopment sites is essential to marketing those properties and advancing reinvestment.  BNSF/Metra Railroad Line – Located north of the Fox River, this east/west railroad Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) line is also part of the Metra Railroad network. The City has been identified in a study by Metra as a potential future commuter rail stop. Although, Kendall County is not part of the six-county Regional Transportation Authority, the Comprehensive Plan Update 2014 should provide future land use and transportation plan recommendations surrounding the area of the proposed future train station depot.  Illinois Railway Railroad – Located south of the Fox River, this east/west railway meanders through existing residential developments and through the City’s Downtown, along the riverfront. The Comprehensive Plan Update 2014 will address land planning strategies surrounding this transportation route.  Blackberry Creek Watershed Action Plan – The United City of Yorkville is one of several municipalities in Kane and Kendall Counties located within the Blackberry Creek Watershed. In 2012, the City adopted the Blackberry Creek Water Shed Action Plan which identifies opportunities to protect and improve surface water and groundwater quality by implementing best management practices and programs. The Comprehensive Plan Update 2014 will incorporate these practices in assessing future land use designations for properties located within the Blackberry Creek watershed area.  Economic Development Strategic Plan – A market study for economic development on the City’s south side will also be sent out for RFQ simultaneously with the Comprehensive Plan Update 2014. The firm chosen for this project will work closely with the firm conducting the market study to ensure the findings are integrated into the Comprehensive Plan Update 2014. The Comprehensive Plan Update 2014 shall address a range of policies that preserve and strengthen business and commerce in the City. This element shall characterize the unique attributes and provide an evaluation of underutilized commercial and retail space opportunities with the City. Projected employment and ratios of employment to housing units should also be discussed.  Innovative Civic Engagement – The Comprehensive Plan Update 2014 will engage residents through focus groups, public open houses, steering committees as well as and non-traditional methods (social media) to gain input from and shape a community vision that benefits from and provides for Yorkville’s growing population. The civic engagement should have a particular focus on the City’s senior, youth, families, tourism and business communities during this process. C. DELIVERABLES  The City of Yorkville will be responsible for reproduction of the final plan document in hardcopy form.  The Consultant will be responsible for providing the draft and final documents in both electronic formats (Microsoft Word and Adobe PDF) allowing reproduction, revision, and web posting by City staff.  The Consultant will format the document in 8½” x 11” (vertically oriented) format. Maps shall be produced in ArcGIS™ format of 36” x 60”, with the capability of being legibly reduced to 11”x17” format for inclusion into the final hardcopy form  Prepare Key Plan Element exhibit drafts for citizen and Planning Commission review. This will be a display exhibit illustrating all major items identified through the Civic Engagement process.  Digitize new maps, input data and create new GIS layers, and incorporate selected maps from existing work products to produce new GIS Maps. The United City of Yorkville utilizes an engineering consulting firm for some of its GIS mapping services; however ESRI® ArcMap™ and ArcView™ platforms are used by internal department staff.  All final maps and source data files will be provided to the City.  Produce all materials for public presentations.  Provide digital, web ready drafts of the Plan for posting on the City’s website and other social media.  Produce final copies for approval and adoption by the City Council. D. PROJECT TIMELINE The overall timeline for the development of the Comprehensive Plan Update 2014 is anticipated to be 9-12 months, not including the adoption process. The entire process from authorizing commencement with the Comprehensive Plan Update to the approval of the Comprehensive Plan Update should be completed within 24 months. As a submittal requirement, the applicant will provide a project schedule showing key task target dates, including public meeting and hearings with estimated task duration.

Bart Olson Administration Name Department Summary Review of the current health insurance benefits offered to elected officials. Background This item was last discussed by the Administration Committee at their July meeting. At that meeting, the committee discussed prohibiting elected officials from participating in the City’s health insurance program. After a brief discussion, the committee felt that all elected officials should be able to participate in the City’s health, dental, vision and life insurance programs, as long as they met the criteria for participation and the elected officials paid 100% of the premiums. Currently, elected officials pay the same monthly contribution percentages as non-union employees, which range from 4% to 9.5% for health insurance. Compensation terms for elected officials must be set 180 days prior to the election, which means any ordinance must be approved by City Council before October 2014. An ordinance which would allow all elected officials to participate in health, dental, vision and life insurance program if the officials pay 100% of the monthly premiums is attached. Memorandum To: City Council From: Bart Olson, City Administrator CC: Date: August 6, 2014 Subject: Elected Officials Health Insurance and Compensation Ordinance No. 2014-____ Page 1 Ordinance No. 2014- _____ AN ORDINANCE OF THE UNITED CITY OF YORKVILLE, KENDALL COUNTY, ILLINOIS, AMENDING THE COMPENSATION OF ELECTED OFFICIALS WHEREAS, the United City of Yorkville (the “City”) is a duly organized and validly existing non home-rule municipality created in accordance with the Constitution of the State of Illinois of 1970 and the laws of the State; and, WHEREAS, section 3.1-50-5 of the Illinois Municipal Code (65 ILCS 5/3.1-50-5) provides that the compensation of municipal officers shall be established by ordinance and shall not be amended during the term of any officer holding an elective office; and, WHEREAS, the Mayor and City Council desire to amend the compensation of officials elected at the next and subsequent municipal elections by eliminating the health insurance benefit, as set forth in Section 1-6-5 of the Yorkville City Code, the cost of which has been paid by the City for those elected officials. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED by the Mayor and City Council of the United City of Yorkville, Kendall County, Illinois, as follows: Section 1. The above recitals are incorporated and made a part of this Ordinance. Section 2. Title 1, Chapter 6, Section 1-6-5 of the Yorkville City Code is hereby amended by deleting Subsection C. and replacing said Subsection with the following in its stead: “C.

Bart Olson Administration Name Department Summary Review of an intergovernmental agreement with the School District. Background This item was last discussed at the July Park Board meeting. At that meeting, the Park Board unanimously recommended that the City approve an intergovernmental agreement with substantially similar terms as the agreement that expired in 2011. The recommended changes to the 2011 agreement are as follows: 1) Section 2, School Police Officers a. We’ve added the Yorkville Middle School Police Officer to the agreement. After the expiration of the 2011 agreement, the City and School District decided to add an officer to YMS. This addition would formally acknowledge the City’s contribution. 2) Section 5, Scheduling a. The changes included in the draft agreement reflect current practices between the City and School District. 3) Section 6, Operational Costs a. In certain instances, we have allowed 16 and 17-year old staff members with a key to the buildings. Of note, the agreement still states that the City and School District should meet regularly to verify that neither party incurs a financial burden or an expense gap of 20%. The City’s current analysis of the financial gap heavily benefits the school district under current calculations. School costs The City has actually used school facilities on 310 days representing 1,274 hours and $64,650 in rental fees, assuming the City would be charged at the highest rates for facility rentals (as a private citizen). City costs The agreement contains two main cost components; non-resident discounts and police officer usage. Individuals who do not live within City limits but live within school district boundaries are given resident rates on Parks and Recreation programming. In FY 14, we estimate this foregone revenue to be $825. Police officers in each of the High School and Middle School, with their salary and benefits pro- Memorandum To: City Council From: Bart Olson, City Administrator CC: Date: August 6, 2014 Subject: School District Intergovernmental Agreement rated to only take into account time spent during the school year, costs the City $136,507 annually. Together, the agreement costs the City over $137,000. Analysis The gap between the two agreements currently sits at 52%, which is much higher than the agreement contemplates as fair. However, the school district staff has indicated that they are conducting a full-scale review and reset of their facility usage fees to take into account the full cost of renting a facility to other parties. They expect this review to take a year to complete. Recommendation In meetings with School District Staff, they had indicated a preference to hold off on the intergovernmental agreement until after their fee review was completed. However, some recently approved facility use policies approved by the School Board would put the City’s right-of-first refusal for school district facilities in jeopardy for the parks and recreation programs in Fall 2014. Even though the last formal agreement by the City and Schools had expired in 2010, the City and School District had been operating under the terms of the 2011 agreement on a handshake since 2011 and until Spring of 2014. In order to formally start the intergovernmental agreement review and approval process, we think that it is best for the City to approve the draft agreement and submit it to the School Board for consideration. If they have requested modifications, we can discuss them and revote on the agreement at a later date. If they reject it outright, we will have formal direction to proceed with securing other facilities. On a related note, the School Districts amended facility usage policy gives first-priority rentals to “Board of Education Approved Priority Agreements”. While this would most certainly include the City, it would also include any other governmental or private entity that the School Board deems worthy of a priority agreement. The Superintendent has indicated that appropriate agreements might include groups who are strategic partners with the School District, such as youth athletic groups that are feeder programs for Yorkville High School athletic programs. The concept of our Parks and Recreation classes being recreation-based, as opposed to focusing on talent-development and alignment with School District athletic development strategies, has been discussed for the past several years among the City staff. This discussion gives us the opportunity to refocus our overall programming strategy and potentially include components which the School District Athletic Department would find beneficial. In this case, we would look to establish our right-of-first-refusal for all School District facilities, rather than the current system which puts us on the same priority list as many other groups.

THE UNITED CITY OF YORKVILLE By:_________________________________ Mayor, United City of Yorkville Attest:_____________________________ United City of Yorkville, City Clerk YORKVILLE COMMUNITY SCHOOL DISTRICT #115 By:_________________________________ President Attest:_____________________________ Secretary Summary The United City of Yorkville’s Parks and Recreation Department has been utilizing the Yorkville Community Unit School District #115’s facilities to host recreational programs to the residents of Yorkville for several years due to an intergovernmental cooperative agreement between the two entities. The intergovernmental cooperative agreement (attached) details an exchange of services between the two entities that is mutually beneficial and helps both entities provide quality services to Yorkville residents. The intergovernmental cooperative agreement officially expired in June of 2011; however, both entities have been working under the same “hand shake” agreement unofficially for the past three years. A meeting has been set for Tuesday, July 1for the City of Yorkville and the Yorkville Community Unit School District #115 to discuss, update, and renew a new intergovernmental cooperative agreement. Background The Yorkville School District #115 recently revised their facility reservation policies and procedures that will go into effect for the 2014-2015 School Year. This was presented at a meeting held on Tuesday, June 3 and was attended by the Superintendent of Recreation. Some of the policy changes they proposed and approved contradict the current working agreement between the United City of Yorkville and the Yorkville School District. Under the new policies, they have created Organization Priority Categories that are listed below. 1. Board of Education Approved Priority Agreement 2. Historic User (2014-2015 Only) 3. Board of Education Approved Partner Program (Starting 2015-2016) 4. Taxing Body 5. 100% District Participants 6. 75% District Participants 7. 50% District Participants 8. Less than 50% District Participants 9. Private Non-Profit Organization 10. Private For-Profit Organization Under the new list of Organization Priority Categories, the United City of Yorkville will receive second priority next year and fourth priority thereafter. Under the intergovernmental cooperative agreement both entities have been unofficially working under, the United City of Yorkville would receive first priority after the Yorkville School District. This change in priority potentially poses a real problem to the Park and Recreation Youth Basketball League program that the United City of Yorkville will not receive approvals for facility reservations in future years due to other organizations receiving higher priority. Memorandum To: Bart Olson, City Administrator From: Tim Evans, Director of Parks and Recreation Shay Remus, Superintendent of Recreation CC: Scott Sleezer, Superintended of Parks Date: June 24, 2014 Subject: Intergovernmental Cooperative Agreement The Yorkville School District listed that the main reason for changing their facility rental policy and procedures was due to an increase in rental requests from organizations in the 2013-2014 school year creating an increase in conflicts. They also listed as a concern, that specifically the United City of Yorkville’s Parks and Recreation Department has increased their needs over the last year. The Yorkville Parks and Recreation Department reviewed both their facility requests, actual time used and the financial impact, within the School District facilities for programs for the 2012-2013 and 2013-2014 school years, and attached is a brief breakdown and charts of those findings. Staff Recommendation A meeting has been set for Tuesday, July 1 for the United City of Yorkville and the Yorkville Community Unit School District #115 to discuss the renewal and possible revision of the intergovernmental cooperative agreement. It is staff’s recommendation to renew the intergovernmental cooperative agreement from June of 2010, keeping the same exchange of services that has been agreed upon and used for the past four years. School Usage Chart The below document will show what we requested to use in both the 2012-2013 and 2013-2014 School Years and what we actually used. 2012-2013 School Year Requested: 349 Days; 1572 Hours; $86,200 in fees (if charged) Actual Use: 201 Days; 864 Hours; $43,200 in fees (if charged) Serviced: 300 Kids *Notes: This year we had the REC Center which housed all of our youth sport classes and summer camps. It also housed some of our additional practices and games for the basketball leagues. 2013-2014 School Year Requested: 353 Days; 1536 Hours; $78,300 in fees (if charged) Actual Use: 310 Days; 1274 Hours; $64,650 in fees (if charged) Serviced: 610 Kids *Notes: This was after the REC Center where we had to house all of our leagues, classes, picture days, summer camps, etc in a school. Observations 1. Staff noticed that we actually requested nearly the same number of days/hours in the 2013/14 School Year as we did in the 2012/13 School Year. We believe some of this was due to us not offering the Girls Basketball League in the 2013/14 School Year which did decrease our Basketball League needs for the 2013/14 School Year. 2. Some of the reasons there are differences from the requested numbers to the actual numbers are due to conflicts in the schools that we were not allowed to use what we requested, programs not running as expected (All Star, Skyhawks), and fine-tuning scheduling for the basketball leagues once we completed registration. a. Anytime we were not using a school and time that we originally requested due to low enrollment or scheduling, we communicated this with Amie so that the School District was able to use this space if needed. RESIDENTS VS NONS-RESIDENTS PARTICIPATING IN PROGRAMS OFFERED AT SCHOOL DISTRICT GYMS Classes/Programs Offered All Star Classes 1st/2nd Grade Basketball League 3rd/4th Grade Basketball League 5th/6th Grade Basketball League Percentages Total Residents: 348 (71%) Total School District Residents Only: 110 (22%) Total Nonresidents: 35 (7%) Total Participants: 493 Financial Impact We charge between $5-$10 additional for nonresident fees, so on average we charge $7.50/nonresident/registration. This would give us a loss in revenue of approximately ($825) for FY14 from School District Residents receiving the resident rates for classes that are held in the schools.
