The units will be placed in the Beecher Center and in a squad car. Dr. Bufalino explained that heart disease is the #I killer in the country. He stated that only 5% of people having a cardiac arrest are saved; however if an AED is used moments after an i The Minutes of the Regular Meetine of the Citv Council - July 9. 2002 - nage 2 attack, even before paramedics arrive, the survival rate for the victim greatly increases. Dr. Bufalino and Police Chief Martin demonstrated the simple use of the AED. Alderman Munns questioned the safety of the units and Dr. Bufalino explained that there have been no failures or problems so far with the units. Also, Good Samaritan Legislation has been passed in Illinois to release the operators of the AED from any liability. Also, it has been federally mandated that all federal buildings be equipped with a unit. Alderman Sticka asked what the units cost and Dr. Bufalino stated that they were $3000.00 /unit. He expressed his hope that the price of the units would come down as they become more popular. Alderwoman Spears stated that she heard Dr. Bufalino speak at the Illinois Municipal League Conference last year and was motivated by him to seek out grants for additional units. Her goal is to have an AED in each police car. Dr. Bufahno indicated that there are funds available through the Rural AED Act for rural communities and the city should contact the American Heart Association for more information. He suggested that Alderwoman Spears contact them at 312- 346 -4675. PUBLIC HEARING Water System Improvement Fee Ordinance A motion was made by Alderman Kot to go into Public Hearing for the purpose of addressing the Water System Improvement Fee Ordinance; seconded by Alderman Sticka. Motion approved by a roll call vote. Ayes -7 Nays -0 Besco -aye, Burd -aye, James -aye, Kot-aye, Munns -aye, Spears -aye, Sticka -aye Alderman Kot stated that the City of Yorkville hired Engineering Enterprises, Inc (EEI) to conduct a Water Works System Needs Assessment and Project Plan. This was done because there are federal requirements regarding the amount of radium present in the water supply. Yorkville has been mandated to lower its level of radium by December 1, 2003. Also, the City is facing serious water storage concerns. The current estimate for the project is $20 million; half of the cost will go towards the water treatment plant. The cost of the project will be funded by a grant from the federal government, new development and current water users. An annual fee of $150.00 /user has been proposed to pay a portion of the cost. This fee will be divided over the year and reflected on the bi- monthly water bill as a $25.00 charge. City Administrator Tony Graff explained that the project will include a treatment plant, three pressurized zones with booster stations (needed to equalize the water pressure throughout the community), water storage tanks (enough for a two day supply) and a well. Part of the $20 million cost will be received from development fees. The City has an $800.00 water hook -up fee of which $600.00 is applied to future and current water improvements. Each year approximately $275,000.00 will be set aside from these fees and applied to the $20 million twenty -year debt. The fees collected from current and new users will also applied to the debt and when the debt is paid, the City Council can eliminate the charge. He explained that the fee was not attached to the water usage rate because the new water system is not based on what is used but rather what is produced. The floor was opened for questions or comments. Don Benditz, 211 Leisure Street, questioned why businesses that use more water than a single - family home are not being charged more. He felt that this was not fair. Mr. Graff and Alderman James explained that the rate is not based on usage because the improvements are needed to increase the quality of the water not because of an increase in usage. Alderman Sticka explained that the $25.00 is not paying for the water itself but rather the infrastructure needed to provide radium -free water. Mr. Benditz asked what developers like Jewel -Osco have contributed to this. Alderman Sticka explained that the only cost developers recover are those for improvements they make such as streets, streetlights, sidewalks, etc. They do not get a break for their water usage, they pay for the volume they use and have to pay the $25.00lnenth.b%rnor K\-t - Earl Bushnell, 403 Freemont, suggested that city stop rebating taxes back to developers and use the extra funds for the water project. Attorney Dan Kramer clarified that none of the properties annexed or developed in Yorkville have received rebates or discount on real estate taxes. Some developers have asked for rebates for onsite improvements but the City Council refused to do this. The city agreed to rebate half the sales tax for public improvements such as streets, stop lights, etc. The tax is rebated until the developer recovers the expense for these improvements, which benefit the entire city. Mr. Kramer also stated that a few large developments, which would cause the need for the plant to be increased, have approached the city. The developers have agreed to pay the cost of design and construction. The Minutes of the Regular Meetine of the Citv Council - July 9. 2002 - Aage 3 Harold Feltz, 410 E. Main, clarified that the cost of the equipment to purify the water would be the same whether the plant processed one gallon or many gallons. Mr. Graff stated that the plant will be able to produce 6.3 million gallons of purified water per day. The plant has to be designed at this high level due to the federal government's standards. The plant will operate on a daily basis at approximately 3.2 million gallons per day but needs to be able to produce double that due to the peaks and valleys of water usage. There also needs to be 3.5 million gallons of storage. Currently, the city has 800,000 gallons of storage. Only 1.5 million gallons of storage will be built on the city's budget. Developers will be responsible for building the remainder; one has agreed to build a one million - gallon tank and another a 1.5 million - gallon tank. This will give the city more storage than required. He also stated that the city has taken into account future users projected over the next ten years who will also help pay for the cost If the future users were not taken into account, the fee would have been $40.00a also stated that because of this future growth, the city is not anticipating a water ratincrease _� the next four to five years. Mr. Feltz asked why the City of Yorkville did not choose the system Oswego did which would have cost less. Alderman Sticka explained that the city did want this system however the Yorkville- Bristol Sanitary District (YBSD) would not accept the waste produced by the cation system because of the radium in it. Oswego uses Fox - Metro, which is a larger system, and they were willing to accept the waste_ Mr. Graff stated that the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA) stated that the city needed to have a waste disposal agreement in order to use the cation system. Mr. Graff also stated that Oswego is also looking at using a prototype system currently in use in Wisconsin, Minnesota and Colorado. Yorkville looked at the prototype system but it is not accepted by the Environmental Protection Agency and has many risk £actors that have not been worked out yet. Mr. Feltz asked that since the new system is a water softening system, would there be salt in the water. Mr. Graff stated that there would be a small amount of salt in the water. Mr. Feltz was concerned for individuals who have dietary restriction to salt. Alderman Sticka explained that he was told that this system produces softened water but not as soft as an in -home waxer softener. He also stated that those who use a water softener would probably want to continue to do so in order to gett their water was soft as they are used to. However, they will probably need to use less salt. Alderman Kot clarified that the Water System Improvement Fee is $25.00 a billing cycle for a total of $150.00 /year. There were no further comments. Temporary Chairman Besco entertained a motion to close the public hearing. So moved by Alderman Sticka; seconded by Alderman Kot. Motion approved by a roll call vote.

The property consists of 162 acres and is located on the east side of Route 47 at Legion Road. So moved by Alderman Kot; seconded by Alderman Sticky Motion approved by a roll call vote. Ayes -7 Nays -0 Besco -aye, Burl aye, James -aye, Kot -aye, Munns -aye, Spears -aye, Sticka -aye Attorney Kramer explained that the developers have requested a modification which would change the zoning from townhome to single - family. The park has been redesigned .also. He turned the floor over to the developer's representatives Attorney John Philipchuck, Larry Vaupel and Steve Welter. Mr. Vaupel gave a brief presentation introducing and describing their firm, Wiseman- Hughes Enterprises, Inc. He explained that the original design for the development had townhomes along Route 47. They have changed this to single - family homes with a minim lot size of 12,000 square feet. He turned the floor over to Steve Welter, chief architect for the development. Mr. Welter explained that the changes improve the density and character of the development. The plan is for 284 single - family homes. They also increased the commercial area and connections to the neighboring development to the north. He also indicated that there will be two outlets to Route 47. They are proposing a 50 -foot wide landscape buffer for the lots along Route 47 and landscaping in the open space throughout the development. He stated that about 21% of the site will be green space. There will be access for a pedestrian /bike trail system that will follow an existing easement. They are also proposing a pedestrian trail system that will connect the open spaces. Mr. Feltz asked to clarify the location of the development and Attorney Kramer indicated that the property was the site of the Genevieve Jensen farm on Route 47, south of Route 71, near Legion Road. Alderwoman Spears asked about the Block family's property. Mr_ Kramer indicated that the Block's are east of this development and they have asked that there be a connecting street from the development to their property on the east. He also indicated that the final plat would still have to go before the Plan Commission. (Note: The City Council received a letter from Dallas Ingemunson, the Block's attorney, dated July 9, 2002 regarding their concerns about drainage and security for the continued farming operation. Please see attached letter.) Alderman James wanted to be sure this went before the Plan Commission, which Attorney Kramer indicated it was. Also, he asked if this would be presented to the Park Board. W. Kramer indicated that the developer has been working with the Park Board to revamp the plan and that the Park Board will give their recommendation to the Plan Commission. Alderman Sticka asked if this was the former Roppolo development and Mr. Kramer stated that was correct. Alderman Sticka asked if that PUD was approved and Mr. Kramer explained that it was approved and still stands. He explained that is why this public hearing is required because PUD's are site specific, it doesn't matter who owns the land. Alderman Sticka recalled that the Block's would be landlocked by this development. Mr. Kramer explained that there is an easement, a farm lane runnin north to south, for the Block and Stewart properties and that is why they are asking for a street connection. Larry Cooper, 418 W. Kendall, indicated that he owns the farm next to this development, which takes the entire run off rainwater from this property. He indicated that the drainage tile needs replacement and he asked what the developer's plans were in regards to dra Attorney Philipchuck stated that the developer's engineers are looking at storm water issues and they would be happy to work with Mr. Cooper in regards to this. They have plans for storm sewers and retention areas. The Minutes of the Regular Meeting of the Citv Council - July 9.2002 - oa L55 Sally Cooper, 8641 Ament Road, asked how the new residents would put up with their manure and cows. Attorney Kramer explained that since the time the original development was proposed, an attorney, Hank Stillwell, wrote a series of articles on farm/non-farm conflicts. Based on his work, Kendall County wrote up a "right to farm easement" which is indicated on all county plats. The developer has been asked to include this in the modification of the original agreement. The developer now has to give notice on the deeds and title reports for the properties sold that the new owner is moving into an agricultural community. The new owners cannot object to hours of operation, odor, etc. Hopefully this will minimize farm/non -farm conflicts. Mr. Cooper asked how this development would affect their property taxes. Mr. Philipchuck indicated that as long as they continue to farm the land, they will continue to receive farm assessment for their taxes. Shirley Brucki, 9922 Legion Road, asked if Route 47 would be widened and traffic signals installed at Legion Road. Mr. Vaupel stated that they have to submit applications to the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) for the access points on Route 47. Also they have to prepare a traffic study of the traffic generated by the development. This will be presented to IDOT and IDOT will determine if signals are warranted. If they are, the developer will pay their share of the installation. Mr. Feltz asked if a frontage road could be used and Mr. Vaupel indicated that this would be hard to do because of the commercial sites planned along Route 47. Temporary Chairman Besco asked if the Plan Commission would have a public hearing on this and Mr. Kramer stated that the matter would be discussed at a public meeting but not a public hearing. Alderman Sticka noted that the school transition fees have recently increased from S 1,500.00 to $3,000.00. He asked if the developer would voluntarily pay the increased amount. Mr. Vaupel indicated that they are aware of the increase but until they get a handle on other costs such as the water inceptor they are not committing to the increase. There were no farther comments. Temporary Chairman Besco entertained a motion to close the public hearing. So moved by Alderwoman Spears; seconded by Alderman Munns. Motion approved by a roll call vote.

She stated that she would distribute the list to the Council and asked for their input by the next meeting in September. Aurora Area Convention & Visitor Bureau Alderwoman Burd reported she was given an amendment to the Aurora Area Convention and Visitor Bureau bylaws. She stated that the Bureau has quite a few members (approximately twenty- three) however not all of them attend regularly. The current bylaws state that there has to be a quorum of a majority to have an item pass but they usually do not have a majority at any given meeting. They are asking the members to vote to amend the bylaws to state that one third of the board needs to be present to do business.
