Subject: Communication of Agenda Items
During the August 17 meeting, I was hoping that under additional business, you could discuss
the process for communicating agenda items for your meeting. I publish the agendas for your
meetings each month. Sometimes, I have difficulty in reaching commission members to find out
what items you would like on your agendas. I was hoping that you could decide on a contact
person from your commission to contact me with the items that you would like on your agenda
each month. The contact person could email me at: 1pickering@yorkville.il.us or could call
me at 553-8567. As your meetings are on Wednesdays now, I would need to have any items that
you would like on the agenda or in the agenda packets by the preceding Thursday before the
meeting. That would allow me enough time to get the agenda in the mail to all of you. Thank
you for your help in this matter.

HRC -July,2005 meeting-page 2
OLD BUSINESS
There was discussion on where funds for sponsorships are coming from,the Police Department or the
City. We also don't have a value of the various facilities that can be used.Parks and Recreation needs
to be contacted to find out what fee levels are for various rooms/facilities. Rose will request this.
There was also discussion on the Sponsorship Policy form that was approved by the City Council on
June 28,2005. On the second page,under what we will not sponsor,it includes"individuals or private
events benefitting one individual."According to those guidelines,we should not have approved the
request for Debby Walker.
Another question was the `not-for-profit status' line,as some organizations have a 501 (c)(3),while
others do not,but do they need to have this to apply for sponsorship?Other questions about the
approved form include needing a `history of the project' and `marketing/promotional opportunities &
venues' as well as `publicity samples' as most applicants would not have this information. Should we
restrict events that benefit one individual,especially when that individual may have done much for the
community?
It was decided to redo the Sponsorship form, addint the time of the event on the form.Rose will do this
and also redo the form approved by City Council so the two match in information and are easier to use.
There was also a discussion on what `partnership' means.Who are we partners with so we know that
those events do not require approval of City assistance from HRC.
Visitor's Center: There was a request from St. Mary's School to put a brochure in the racks. Diana
made a motion to approve,Lorene seconded. Approved.
It was suggested to invite Glory Spies to the HRC meeting at a future date.
There was discussion on the letter that should go out again to businesses/organizations. The form was
looked over. The City Clerk should not be named as the contact. Also the sentence on 'your
submission for approval' should be removed. The line on guidelines should be removed,also,and
`schools' should be added. Cecelia will make these changes.
It was suggested that Molly had the ability to create a list for labels of current businesses,but it is
difficult to keep up-to-date lists.
At the next meeting,we will work on the criteria for the Visitor's Center.
Street Naming: Sylvia went through the books and found that 11 names had been approved without any
history or documentation in the books. One name was misspelled. On the application it was Godard,on
the approved list it is Goddard.Another question pertained to the names McClellan and McClelland
which is used in Grand Reserve.A call was placed to Elmer-
July,2005 meeting-page 2
people, one McClellan, and another,McClelland. He believes the sign in Grand Reserve is Dickson
who made the original requests. The names should be Godard,and there were two HRC spelled
incorrectly. Sylvia will check on this.
There was discussion on the way to designate Historical Named streets.After discussion,Diana
motioned to request that the Historical Name be added to existing street signs,with a new sign in brown
stating' Historical Street Name' and the full name of the person being honored. Cecelia seconded.
Approved.
NEW BUSINESS
At the last meeting,the Mayor wants to identify where the money is going. HRC feels this should be
done on the City level and should not be an HRC decision.
ADDITIONAL BUSINESS
It was decided that Rose would bring the survey study done by Parks&Recreation at the schools to
the City.
Rose is now on the Northeastern Illinois Area Agency on Aging Board and they will be holding a Chef's
Brunch in November. On Oct. 31st they will be putting together the event booklet and can use help if
anyone is available.
Lorene made a motion to adjourn Sylvia seconded.Meeting adjourned at 8:20 p.m.

Subject: RE: HRC minutes &Visitor form
The name `Goddard' was approved as such for use in Whispering Meadows. It's early enough that the street signs have not been
ordered yet.
The name `McLellan' was approved as such for use in Grande Reserve. Not sure if PW has ordered this specific street sign yet,
but I know that they've ordered a ton of them for the development already, so it probably has.
If there's a change to the spelling, I need to notify PW asap; please advise.
