CITIZEN COMMENTS
Gary Rice,598 Poplar Drive addressed the City Council.He expressed his concern with the"in
fighting"of the City Council which he has read about in the newspapers and discussed with other
citizens. He noted that he wrote a letter to the editor of the Kendall County Record which was
printed in last week's edition where he called for a few of the Council members who he perceives
as stubborn and caring more about arguing than doing business to resign. He apologized for the
comment because everyone on the Council should be thanked for the time they put in for the
citizens and because he doesn't want anyone asking him to do the job. He commented that the
fighting is hurting the citizens of Yorkville and expressed the concern that some members of the
City Council don't know the history of Yorkville.
Mr.Rice explained to the City Council that he has been a resident of Yorkville for fifty-six years,
represents five generations of Yorkville residents and that his family owned a business in
downtown Yorkville for twenty-five years. He further explained that years ago Yorkville had
many prominent businessmen who built the community. He reminded the City Council of the
time and effort these individuals committed to the City and asked them to remember this when
they are working on projects. He gave the history of the Yorkville Businessman's Associates
(eventually the Chamber of Commerce),the way they helped the community along and he gave a
detailed account of the spirit of Yorkville in the past. He noted that these businessmen built the
parks,ball fields,festivals and they were the mayors,aldermen and the leaders. He asked the
City Council not to let these people down.
Mr.Rice stated that he knows the City cannot be like it was in the past however he would like to
see the spirit of small-town Yorkville remain. He felt that this is not impossible. He stated that
Yorkville needs a City Council that works in harmony to move the City forward and the residents
need a Council that works hard to hire the right people to run the city. He asked that when these
people are hired,the City Council let them do their jobs. He commented that micromanaging is
not needed;if the City Council does a good job interviewing,performing background checks and
hiring,the individuals should be allowed to do the job they were hired to do. He asked the City
Council to value the employees and to acknowledge the jobs they do. He suggested that a thank
you note in the newspaper or on WSPY wouldn't hurt. He stated that he would like to see a
Council that cares for its young citizens,old citizens and its disabled citizens. He also for a City
Council that valued its old,existing business as much as they value bringing in new business. He
asked them to treasure what they have in this town.
Mr.Rice asked the City Council to imagine the feelings of the majority of Yorkville business
people and residents when they read week after week about the Council's childish behavior,
arguing and fighting. He cited the discussion about the employees having shirts with the City's
name on them. He stated that the employees having shirts is not a big deal;other municipalities
have them. He commented that he would find it hard to believe if over 1%of the residents would
ever complain about the staff having shirts.He asked the Council to better spend the hours
arguing about trivial things to work to help ways to have businesses prosper and improve the life
of the City's residents. He also cited the discussion over legal fees incurred by an employee for
an incident that occurred while she was working for the City. He stated that an employee should
expect an employer to back them up and the Council should support the employees. He felt that
the old City father's would turn over in their graves if they could see a City Council that did not
back up their employees. He stated that he is ashamed of both sides of the City Council. He
stated that everyone should grow up and start thinking about the end goal. He commented that
The Minutes of the Regular Meeting of the City Council—October 11,2005—page 3
the City Council was on the`Burlington freight train"and should get on the"express train"
because the City is growing too fast and there is no room for spending hours on trivial things. He
noted that the citizens of Yorkville put up with this type of behavior with the old School Board.
He asked the City Council to look what happened when the School Board was having internal
battles;valuable time was wasted in meetings,referendums failed,people turned on one another,
the high school was built too small,etc. He asked the City Council to look at the similarities
between themselves and the old School Board;he didn't think there was much of a difference and
he felt the City Council learn from them.
He invited the Council members to come to Rice Park,which was named after his father. He
stated it is located in the River's Edge subdivision and he is very proud of it. He stated that on a
nice day there could be fifty children playing there and parents visiting with each other. He
commented that it has brought the whole neighborhood together and this is the way the City
should be. He stated that neighborhood parks are being enjoyed and the City has Executive
Director of Parks&Recreation Laura Brown to thank for this. He commented that from what he
has read in the newspapers,the City Council owes Ms.Brown an apology and they should thank
her for a job well done. He stated that most importantly,she deserves an invitation to assume her
job.

Ehler's&Associates,Inc.
Proposal for Downtown Redevelopment TIF District Project Study
Mayor Prochaska entertained a motion to approve the proposal,as presented,of Ehler's and
Associates,Inc.for cost of doing a feasibility study for a Downtown Redevelopment TIF District
Process in the amount of$40,000.00 including expenses.So moved by Alderman Munns;
seconded by Alderman Spears.
Alderman James stated that he received telephone calls questioning how this could be approved
when a member of the City Council has a conflict of interest with this project. He stated that he
took a closer look at the Yas Study which was presented earlier in the year(he distributed a map
to the City Council). He stated that it was never disclosed that an individual on the City Council
owns investment property in the proposed study area;an area designated for townhomes. He
noted that this Council member is also on the Facade Committee and has pushed for downtown
development and for using taxpayer's money to redevelop the area where she has investment
property. He also referred to the minutes from a July 12,2005 meeting where Alderman Burd
was present and voted"aye"for Ordinance 2005-60—Providing Feasibility Study and Report
with Respect to the Designation of an Area as a Tax Increment Financing Redevelopment Project
Area(Downtown Business Area). He stated that an attachment to the ordinance was the map he
distributed showing that her property was included in the area. He further stated that at no time
did Alderman Burd disclose that her investment property was included in the study area and he
found it troubling that someone could sit on the City Council and push for downtown
redevelopment with out disclosing this information.
Alderman Spears stated that Alderman Burd brought this information to the City Council's
attention and she contacted the press regarding this. Alderman James disagreed stating that the
press contacted Alderman Burd. Alderman Spears stated that this was not correct. She explained
The Minutes of the Regular Meeting of the City Council—October 11,2005—page 6
that the press contacted someone at City Hall for details regarding this. Attorney Orr(attorney
for the TIF)was then contacted. Alderman Spears stated that for years Alderman Burd has
worked to get the downtown area redeveloped,she has been a strong supporter of business in the
area,she was behind the creation of the Facade Committee and she should not be discredited.
She stated that she did not have a problem with Alderman Burd owning property in the TIF area.
Aldennan Munns stated that the downtown redevelopment is for the betterment of the City and
that the study should not be disqualified just because Alderman Burd owns property in the
redevelopment area.
Alderman Besco stated that he did not consider the property in question investment property since
Alderman Burd lives there and has done so for several years. He stated that Alderman Burd
contacted Attorney Orr regarding this and has been forthcoming and that in previous concepts
from Yas,Alderman Burd's property was not included in the study area.
Alderman James clarified that the ordinance voted on at the July 12,2005 City Council meeting
had the map attached which included Alderman Burd's property in the study area. He also
clarified that in addition to Alderman Burd's residence,she has an additional parcel of property
included in the study area. He stated that the disclosure of the ownership of the additional parcel
is what is in question.
Mayor Prochaska reminded the City Council that according to Attorney Orr moving forward
with the study does not hold them responsible;the responsibility is on the owner to disclosure
ownership. He noted that Alderman Burd is responsible for following the necessary legalities.
He stated that a memo has been distributed to all employees and agents advising them to disclose
if they owned any property in the proposed TIF area. He commented that this is a project that
affects the heart of Yorkville.
Attorney Wyeth explained stated that he asked Attorney Orr if the offending alderman were to
vote on every portion of a TIF,from beginning to end,would this undermined the viability of the
TIF district He stated that Attorney Orr's answer was no. This is a personal matter not a matter
that the City has a risk in.
Aldennan Wolfer stated that he did not want to hurt any businesses by slowing this process down
however he wanted Alderman Burd to have time do what she might need to do,if anything does
need to be done. He stated he wanted the TIF to be above reproach and everything done above
board.
Alderman Spears noted that there was a downtown study done by Northern Illinois University
and she asked if Alderman Burd's property was included in it. Mayor Prochaska stated he was
not sure but thought the study included both sides of Mill Street.
Alderman Leslie stated that he was in favor of the TIF however he was concerned with the
liability to the City and aldermen. He asked if it was fair to state that if the TIF was instituted
Alderman Burd would realize a financial gain. He stated that this is a$40,000.00 study and he
would rather not spend$40,000.00 of taxpayer's money if down the line it is determined that the
TIF is wrong because of this. Mayor Prochaska reiterated that the attorneys have explained that
as long as it is a whole area being considered for the TIF,there is no liability to the City. It is the
responsibility of the property owner to stay within the bounds of the law. He stated that a large
expanded area is being considered by the study and this area is ripe for redevelopment which will
help both existing and new businesses.
Alderman Spears stated that when the last TIF was passed the City did not anticipate the
problems of relocating the Senior Services Associates. She noted there are many unknowns in
instituting a TIF however it is an advantage to the downtown property owners to move ahead with
the study.
Alderman Wolfer noted that this vote is for the TIF feasibility study and there is time to stop the
process if a conflict does arise.
Alderman Besco asked if the City Council had actually voted on anything related to a TIF for the
downtown area. Mayor Prochaska explained that according to the attorneys,the process has
started however the actual TIF district has not been created yet

SBC T-1 Line Agreement
Mayor Prochaska entertained a motion to accept the SBC T-I Line Agreement and authorize the
Finance Director to execute.So moved by Alderman Wolfer,seconded by Alderman Leslie.
Alderman Spears asked for clarification on the following items:
o A letter dated October 5,2005 states that the monthly fee is$550.00 however the
proposal indicates the fee is$425.00-Finance Director Pleckham clarified that the
correct amount is$425.00/month.
o Was there an out clause for the agreement-Director Pleckham stated she would look into
this further.
o Page 7 of the agreement states that the rates are subject to change—could the City lock in
the rates-Director Pleckhatn clarified that the rates are locked in for the 36 months of the
contract.
o The statement that the volume discount could be greater or less than the aggregation of
eligible chares seemed very board-Director Pleckham indicated that the volume discount
does not apply to the City because only one T-line is needed.
Mayor Prochaska stated that the Council would be approving the agreement with the inclusion of
an out clause of 30 to 60 days.
Alderman Spears asked if this vote should be postponed. Mayor Prochaska explained that the
Library was going to break ground and the T-I line to the City would be cut before the next City
Council meeting;this needs to move ahead. He stated that this could be voted on subject to

hard work and great things she has done for the City in the last three years. He noted that he has
confidence in the staff that they will be able to carry on with the work she has begun however Ms.
Brown and her ideas,suggestion and ability to get things accomplished will be missed.
Alderman Leslie noted that in his six months on the Council,the City has lost two key staff
members and he stated that while he did not know all the dynamics that played into the
resignations he felt that there were members of the Council that did not see eye-to-eye with the
staff. He encouraged the City Council to work together with the incoming staff to prevent
problems in the future. He wished Ms.Brown the best for her future and complimented the great
job she has done for the City.
Mayor Prochaska and Alderman Wolfer asked Ms.Brown to reconsider her resignation.
Alderman Wolfer explained that parks are not just for play but are places where people go to
rejuvenate. He stated that when he and Alderman James are racing their wheel chairs in the old
folk's home,the parks will still be here thanks to Ms.Brown. He stated that the impression she
has made on Yorkville is awesome.

Public Hearing—None.
Presentations:
1. Fox Road Southwest Area Transportation Study—There was a presentation of
a draft of the report of what the study found in this area. The curve on Fox Road
meets IDOT's standards for the speed limit. Fox Road will not handle construction
traffic. The intersection of Greenbriar and Rt 47 will be a signalized intersection
with a median and dedicated turn lanes. E. Highpoint Road would be extended
across Rt. 71 to Greenbriar and a Beecher Road extension between Fox Road and
Rt. 71. Both those roads would be collector roads.
A recommendation as a result of the study would be to impose a$2,000 per unit
impact fee for the land acquisition and construction of these roads.
Comments from the staff and City Council will be included in the finalized report.
A question was raised about whether or not the Prairie Parkway would affect this
study. Since the Prairie Parkway is a long way off and will only have access
points at the major state and US highways, it was thought it will not affect this
study.
This will come back to COW the beginning of November.
Page 2 of 5
Detail Board Report(Bill list):
There was a question about a charge from Dan Kramer's office on page 1. He has
been doing some cleanup work from when he was the City Attorney. On page 3 there
was a question about some charges for cable cords. There are 2 types of cable cords
that were purchased. There was a question on page 7 about building/zoning pollution
control. This is for work on a pollution control ordinance. On page 10 there was a
question about repainting under EEI's bills. EEI has put together some specifics for
painting and was testing paint thickness. There was a question on page 22 for some
repairs to a municipal building. Mike's Handyman Services has performed basic
maintenance around the building. This will move on to City Council for
consideration.
Items Recommended by Committee for Consent Agenda:
1. Police Reports for August 2005
2. Trick or Treat Hours—Monday October 31,2005 from 4:00 pm—7:00 pm
These items will move on Consent Agenda.
Mayor:
1. Dr.Wood's Report— Dr. Wood's report had a list of priorities. The first priority
is to hire an interim Chief Administrative Officer. The second priority is to reach
an agreement on the preferred City Administrator Ordinance. Next was to approve
the Governance Enhancement Process as recommended by the September 2nd and
15th memorandums. His recommendations would be to create 2 Ad Hoc
Committees, an Administrative Task Force and a Legislative Task Force. The
Administrative Task Force would define the role of the Mayor, and
communication between the City Council and the City Administrator, and
communication between the City Administrator and the Mayor. Also to find ways
to free up some of the City Administrator's time so they could spend more time
supervising the city staff and communicating with the Mayor and the Council.
Also to redesign the City Administrator's annual performance appraisal process.
The Legislative Task Force would redesign the committee system and create a
Governance Ordinance. The Legislative Task Force would also define the role of
the Mayor, the City Administrator, and the members of City Council. This Ad Hoc
committee should meet regularly such as once a month, and the process will take
about as 4—6 months. This process will begin after the City Administrator
Ordinance is in place and after the process of hiring the permanent City
Administrator has begun. Attorney Wyeth will draft a resolution to adopt the
Governance process plan as contained in the memos from Dr.Wood and Dr. Gabor
dated September 2, and September 15.
2. Draft City Administrator Ordinance—The City of Yorkville is a hybrid form of
Government. The city uses both the Mayor/Council form and the Administrative
form. The wording in the draft ordinance should read City Council and Mayor
throughout the document since the City Administrator will be working for the City
under the direction of the Council and the Mayor. The City Administrator's term
shall coincide with the Mayor's term.
Section 4 talks about separation pay upon termination. Is this policy? This should
be discussed at a later date.
Page 3 of 5
In Section 6 Alderwoman Spears felt it should be that all departments except the
police would be supervised by the City Administrator. If this is changed, how will
it affect the Chief of Police's position?
The City Administrator will not serve as the City Budget Officer, there is a City
Finance Director. The City Administrator used to be the Budget Director,and this
takes up a lot of time.
Section 6,# 13 services can be defmed in the job description.
Section 7 refers to a surety bond. This would be included in the package with the
IML Liability group.
Section 11 should be excluded.
The ordinance for the Village of Oswego was included in the packet. It is similar
to the way the City of Yorkville currently works.
There was discussion about having the City Administrator be able to appoint,
nominate, discipline, and fire City Employees or Officers. There was also
discussion about the powers of the Council as far as removing officers and
reinstating officers. A point was brought up that City Administrator is not clearly
defined on whether that position is an Office or an employee of the city. This will
be able to be defmed in this ordinance.
There was a question about collective bargaining. Currently only the Police is this
way, but that may change in the future.
The draft ordinance will come back to COW with a red line copy and a clean copy.
3. Legislative Task Force—This was removed from the agenda.
4. Interim City Administrator Update—Mayor Prochaska has received 5 names of
people to ask. 2 people declined, 3 people interviewed. Mayor Prochaska has
since received one more name. They will be interviewed tomorrow. By the next
COW Mayor Prochaska will have the name of the person to consider and can
invite that person to come.
5. Community Development Director Update—The McGrath Group has narrowed
the choices down to 6. It was asked that since the City is currently without a City
Administrator, if the Council could interview. This should still be moved forward.
The person that is selected to be hired will be subject to a full FBI background
check. EDC will do the initial interviews and make a recommendation of 3 people
to the Mayor. The Mayor will then recommend 1 person to the City Council.
6. Revised Senior Facility Use Agreement Update—This is an agreement with the
Senior Services Associates. Senior Services will be the coordinator for the
Beecher Building administrating the 2 nutrition programs. There will also be a 5
year agreement for the Youth Programs to be held at Parkview Christian Academy
for$15,000 a year that will be available at the end of this week. The offices will
be moved into the Kramer office building. There was discussion about
replenishing paper goods. Under item#8 it should say Senior Services, not school.
7. Agreement with Salvation Army Golden Diner's Nutrition Program—Under
Item 5 it should say Perkins Room rather than Austin Room. Item#7 the program
will not pay the$20 per month, it will pay$83 per month. Item#10 says that no
sign shall be permanent or left in place for more than one week. This is from the
prior agreement. It was thought that this was meant for signs such as for a
rummage sale. This will be amended.
Page 4 of 5
8. Agreement with Community Nutrition Network& Senior Services
Association of Cook County
Items# 6,#7, and#8 will go on to City Council.
9. Proposal for Cost of Doing a Feasibility Study for Downtown Redevelopment
TIF District Process—This is Lisa Lyon's proposal. Kathleen Field-Orr was
present to answer questions about it. This is the commencement of the TIF
process. There have been questions about a conflict of interest. The TIF statute
says that if any Elected Officer, Agent or Employee of the City owns property in
the TIF district except a single parcel utilised as the primary residence or is renting
a commercial space on a month to month lease, they shall not be part of the
planning process. A notice will be put out to all the employees for a disclosure of
all properties owned in the TIF district and a description of their use. This must be
submitted in writing for the City Clerk to read out loud and record in the minutes
of a City Council meeting. There was a question about pre planning discussions
and whether or not it was ethical for the people who own property in the TIF
district. Kathleen Orr's answer was that she does not know at what point the
discussions began, since she was not involved in them. She said that discussing
this proposal is the commencement of the TIF process. A person who has property
in the proposed TIF district that is not being used as a primary residence, or
commercial month to month lease shall no longer participate in discussions on this
matter. If such individual does participate, the city will not be held responsible, it
is that individual who would be held responsible. A form will be sent to the taxing
district. This will be the qualification. This will move on to City Council for
consideration on October 11th, 2005.
10. ZBA 2005-41 Albert and Kimberly Kolkmeyer—Front and Rear Yard
Setback Variance Request—This is a legal non-conforming use. The property is
already in violation of the setbacks and they want to build an addition staying in
line with the current building. This will go on to City Council on Consent Agenda.
11. Intergovernmental Agreement with Kane County for Blackberry Creek
Study—This will be postponed until the next COW.
12. Rob Roy Creek Interceptor Contract No. 4 Com Ed Easement Agreement
—This is to cross the Com Ed easement. The fee for the easement is$15,500. This
will move on to City Council on Consent Agenda.
13. T-1 Line Proposal Re submittal—The original bid from ICN for the T-1 line
had an additional charge that was not clearly displayed. The quote from ICN
works out to be $375 a month over what was already approved. SBC is now the
lowest responsible bidder. This will move on to City Council on Consent Agenda.
City Attorney:
1. Attorney Vacation/Substitute Attorney—John Wyeth will be on vacation 2
weeks from tonight. Mike Bersani will fill in while John Wyeth is on vacation. He is
the former City Attorney for South Elgin,he substitutes for the Village of Itasca,and
is a former Trustee in Bartlett. This requires no action.
Economic Development Committee:
1. Protect Kendall Now—This was recommended by the Committee. It will move
on to City Council on Consent Agenda.
Page 5 of 5
2. PC 2005-37 Corneils Crossing—Annexation Agreement& Preliminary Plan—
The Aldermen would like to see the lots be larger. Lot 1 has a house that will front
Corneils Rd that is 3/4 acre. Estate lots are 1 acre and are not water and sewer lots.
These lots are water and sewer lots. This parcel is 15.35 acres and will have 32
lots. The smallest lot is 12,034 square feet. The average lot size is 14,795 square
feet. They are asking for R2 zoning. This meets the comprehensive plan. This
will go on to City Council for consideration.
3. PC 2005-47 Swanson Lane Estates—Final Plat—This substantially meets the
preliminary plan. It will move on to City Council for a vote.
4. Annexation of Bailey Meadows—This will move on to City Council for
consideration.
5. Annexation of Pulte/Del Webb Property North of Com Ed Right of Way—
This will move on to City council for consideration.
Park Board:
No Report.
Public Works Committee:
No Report.
Public Safety Committee:
1. NIMS Compliance—Employees of the City of Yorkville as well as members of
the City Council must take and pass this on line course. These individuals could
possibly be involved in handling a major incident in the city, such as a terrorist act or
a major disaster.
