6. ADM 2017-19 Water, Sewer and Road Infrastructure Fee Renewal
Mr. Olson stated the recommended amounts are the same as last year and are tied to the
2018 budget. A small amount of extra water revenue is expected and several unfunded
projects are in need of that revenue. No rate increase is expected for 2018, but it will be
reviewed for 2019.
7. ADM 2017-20 Travel Expense Authorization – Elected Officials, MetroWest
Drivedown
Administrator Olson said there is a new policy included in this packet. He will approve
an estimate of expenses at the beginning of the year based on attendance of past events
and authorize other events as they occur. This moves to the Council consent agenda.
8. ADM 2017-21 Aurora Area Convention and Visitors Bureau (AACVB) Marketing
Plan
Mr. Olson said the AACVB provided a list of publications in which tourism ads would be
beneficial. One of them is the “GO” guide which is an AACVB publication. He said the
AACVB Marketing Manager seemed optimistic regarding better advertising deals.
Alderman Frieders and Tarulis said they were happy to see some attention now being
focused on Yorkville. Some ad ideas were included and the committee provided input.
This matter will move forward to the next City Council meeting and AACVB will be
asked to give a 5-minute presentation.
9. ADM 2017-22 Comcast Cable Franchise Agreement
Mr. Olson said it is renewal time for a 10-year agreement to allow Comcast to continue to
operate in the City. He said it is basically the same with the addition of a future PEG fee
with a choice of paying it out of pocket or levying a customer fee. A Public Hearing
meeting must be held to allow for public comments. The agreement will start March 1.
Alderman Frieders said the community is lucky to have the consortium and the public
access facility. Mr. Olson commented that he would like to see a partnership with
AACVB and the consortium to produce digital ads and videos and promote Yorkville as a
tourism location. The committee was in favor of this. This agreement moves to the
March 14 Council agenda for action and a Public Hearing will be held on March 28.
