COMM[TMTY & LIAISON REPORT
Outer Belt Corridor Study Advisory Committee
Alderwoman Burd reported that she attended the Outer Belt Corridor Study Advisory Committee
meeting on September 10, 2002. There was a guest speaker from the Northeast Illinois Planning
Commission who gave a presentation, which stated that Kendall County is projected to grow
100% by the year 2030. It is estimated that there will be an additional 54,547 people living in the
County and the job increase will be from 21, 858 jobs to 35, 915 for an increase of 49.5 %. After
the presentation a discussion was held. Alderwoman Burd stated that she was concerned that the
number of municipalities participating in the meeting was smaller that the number of advisors
present. She felt that the municipalities need to have more input in this.
Park Board
Alderman James reported that the Park Board met September 9, 2002. They discussed the
proposal for the Policy Statement for the new Executive Recreation Director that the Adhoc
Committee had developed. The Board had some concerns regarding the policy but Alderman
James stated that he felt the concerns could be addressed at the Adhoc Committee and the policy
revised. The main concern was clarifying the reporting structure and establishing how the
department would interface with the City. The Park Board stated that they are establishing this
clarification as one of the objectives of the new director.
Mayor Prochaska stated that communications between the city and the Parks & Recreation
Department have been cloudy over the years. He stated that everyone needs to interact; it is one
city not two groups. He also suggested that the Administration Committee create a policy for all
the "at will" employees based on the employee manual.
Alderwoman Burd asked if the City Council delegated the authority to the Park Board to oversee
the Park and Recreation employees. City Attorney Kramer stated that the City Council did
delegate the day -to -day operation with the ordinance it created. However, the Mayor is the chief
operating officer for all departments and department heads.
Alderwoman Spears stated that she has been attending the Adhoc Committee meetings and has
been reading the Park Board's minutes. She noted that a Park Board member on the Adhoc
Committee has commented that she feels that the committee is not accomplishing anything. Two
other Park Board members have filled in at the last two meetings and they suggested that the Park
Board and City Council meet as a whole to iron out important issues before the new director
starts. She asked if the City Council was in agreement with this. She stated that the Adhoc
Committee is spending a lot of time and she feels that information is not getting back to everyone.
I
Mayor Prochaska commented that the purpose of the Adhoc Committee is to put forth ideas,
which can be discussed by the Council and Board. The ideas are adjusted by the groups so that
everyone is in agreement. He stated that the ordinance gives the Park Board jurisdiction but at
the same time the director is hired "at will" and is appointed by the mayor. He stated that if
wording can be added to the policy to clear up any misconceptions it should be done. The
discussion of this could be at a joint meeting instead of at the committee meeting. He commented
that the meeting should be scheduled when everyone is available and there is enough time for
discussion.
City Administrator Graff commented that a policy statement is the foundation from which to
build procedures. This should be done in clear, simple language so that everyone clearly
understands who has the ultimate authority. The policy for performance reviews of this position
should follow the employee manual. This should be done so the new director is aware who is
creating her goals and objectives and who has recommending power for her reappointment. This
should be the first step taken before discussing how everyone will interface.
Alderman Anderson commented that he felt the Adhoc Committee was moving forward and it
wasn't necessary at this time to have a joint meeting. He felt that the Adhoc Committee should
l i

continue working on the policy statement now that there has been discussion by the Board and
Council. Alderman James agreed and invited anyone interested to join the committee.
Metra Adhoc Meeting
Alderman Kot reported he attended the Metra Adhoc meeting last week where Yorkville had
another opportunity to express its concerns. Two things came from this. First, the committee
agreed to include as part of the final Phase II report the Mayor's letter and consultant's response
to it. The letter outlines the City's concerns and this makes it part of the official report. Second,
the committee is going to stay together and meet periodically. At these meetings, new population
figures can be presented in order to keep the report updated. Another thing to note is that Metra
is moving ahead with about $800,000.00 of preliminary engineering. Yorkville is not part of the
RTA and this would take an act of the State legislature to do this. Alderman Kot stated that he
felt that Metra feels this is a viable project.
OLD BUSINESS
(Ordinance) 2002 -30 Ward Redistricting and Realignment Ordinance
Mayor Prochaska reported that Dons Dick of Teri Lane sent a letter regarding the redistricting.
He asked City Clerk Milschewski to read the letter dated September 9, 2002 (see attached).
Mayor Prochaska indicated that by viewing the new map, it does not appear that areas outside the
city limits were included. He explained that the census blocks are identified by either being in the
city or not. Any blocks annexed into the city as of April 1, 2000 could be included in the census.
This is why Heartland, which had zero residents at that time, was included in the census block
because it was annexed by that time.
Alderman Sticka commented that the City of Yorkville is a non - partisan body so the changing of
the Wards has very little political impact. It is done to ensure that everyone has equal
representation on the City Council.
Mayor Prochaska entertained a motion to approve an ordinance establishing ward redistricting
and realignment based upon the current census. So moved by Alderwoman Spears; seconded by
Alderman Besco.
Alderman Sticka asked how residents would be notified of a Ward change. Attorney Kramer
stated that County Clerk Paul Anderson will notify registered voters of the change. Once the map
is approved, it is sent to his office and he will add areas annexed after April 1, 2000. He also
works to keep the wards as compact by geography and numbers as possible.

the length of the agreement will be reduced. Also, this agreement is shorter that the previous
