PRESENTATIONS
NIU IMAP Report
Dawn Peters, Sherrie Taylor and Greg Bielawski with the Center for Governmental Studies at
Northern Illinois University (NIU) presented the report.
Ms. Peters presented an overview of the Illinois Municipal Assistance Program (IMAP)
developed by the Center for Governmental Studies. A Governance and Municipal Practices
Assessment (GMPA) was done which consists of an overall review of how the City is organized,
the governance and management environment, policies, plans and procedures, products and
services provided and how prepared the community is to be effective in attracting and retaining
economic development opportunities.
Sherrie Taylor went over the methodologies used to compile the report (interviews with 24 key
individuals in the community, GMPA questionnaires and checklists, previous community surveys
and/or reports, etc), discussed specific categories that were assessed (policies /plans /manuals;
community and economic development; etc.) and selected key documents (organization charts,
budgets, police /fire pension reports, etc.). From this information was compiled into a report
documenting issues, identifying themes, etc and then providing recommendations for
improvement.
Greg Bielawski went over the recommendations listed in the report:
• Values, Mission, Goals & Objective Statements — recommended that the City engage a
strategic thinking session with a trained experienced facilitator assisting to develop a
vision for the city.
• Organization Chart — the city needs a simple pictorial way to indicate who is in charge
of what.
• Municipal Budget — the current budget contains little information on how it was created,
how revenues were determined or what the intended purposes for expenditures are. It
was suggested that the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA)
Distinguished Budget Presentation Award criteria be considered for future budget
preparation.
• Capital Improvement Program (CIP) — enhancements to Yorkville's CIP would be the
inclusion of facility expansion projects, identification of funding for the projects, a
description of each project and the effects of the project on the budget.
• Annual Financial Report — the city is required to implement Government Accounting
Standards Board (GASB) Statement #34 for the fiscal year ended 2004 -05. It was
recommended to contact the Village of Carol Stream, the first municipality in Illinois to
be fully GASB 34 compliant, for a methodology for valuing infrastructure.
• Personnel Policy Manual — the city has a comprehensive personnel manual. It was
recommended that a person be designated as the personnel officer. This person would
be responsible for ensuring that personnel policies are followed uniformly
• Purchasing Policy and Practices — the city has a purchase Order Policy but there are a
number of exceptions to it. It was recommended that a more comprehensive policy be
adopted and implemented.
• Economic Development Plan — the city has a current comprehensive plan however there
is no written overall economic development plan for the city. It was recommended that
the city prepare and adopt an economic development plan that identifies the types of
businesses desired and the efforts needed to attract and retain investment.
• Community Promotional and Marketing Pieces — the Yorkville Economic Development
Corporation has attractive promotional materials and the city has a web page. It was
recommend that all printed materials and web page be current and contain site - specific
information.
• City Council Operations — although it is necessary to have discussion before making
decisions, too many meetings are counterproductive. It was recommended that the
Council consider eliminating the council committee meetings and more effectively use
the Committee of the Whole meetings. Also recommended was merging the Plan
Commission and the Zoning Board of Appeals into one board.
• Administrative Operations — as the city grows, the Mayor and City Council will need to
rely more on a professional and trained staff. It was recommended that the City Council
consider strengthening the role of the City Administrator to a fully functioning CAO
capacity. Also recommended was the development of written procedure manuals for
each department.
• Communications — many of the contacts interviewed indicated a need for improved
communications on all levels. It was recommended that the Mayor and City
i

• Administrator put out a bi- weekly newsletter to the council members and the city staff
updating them on the progress and status of city affairs and projects. A
recommendation to keep residents informed was a monthly live cable TV show during
which the Mayor and City Administrator could provide brief updates on city affairs and
accept called in questions.
• Customer Service — the city is becoming home to more "customers" from the Chicago
suburbs and their expectations and demands are different that those of Yorkville natives.
It was recommended that the city implement a customer service program with emphasis
on customer satisfaction and follow up steps. Also, a FAQ directory could be
developed.
• Technology — the city has recently completed a technology plan. It was recommended
that a long range implementation plan be built on this.
• Human and Physical Resources - As the city goes through the transition from a small
town to a good sized suburban -like city, the staff is also going through a transition. The
staff was seen as hardworking, responsive, dedicated and competent but obviously
strained. It was recommended that as the city grows, staffing should be increased. A
long range personnel needs assessment should be done by all departments. Also, there
are a number of city services that can be provided through private resources. The use of
college interns was also recommended. The city should also undertake an assessment
of space needs and prepare long range plan.
Mayor Prochaska commented that many of the things recommended in the report have begun or
are being discussed. He explained that the Council will vote to accept the report however this
vote does not indicate approval of the report. He stated that it was up to the Council to decide
what it wants to take out of the report to work on. The Council discussed the organizational
chart, eliminating committee meetings, if the report was biased because Mr. Bielawski was a
former city administrator and communication with Mr. Bielawski.
Administrator Graff asked if there was any follow up by NIU to see if and how the plan was
being implemented. Ms. Peters explained that they will be asking the staff and Council to
evaluate the report.
Mayor Prochaska entertained a motion to accept the NIU IMAP Report. So moved by Alderman
- Sticka; seconded by Alderman Munns.
