REPORTS
MAYOR'S REPORT
Appointment of Interim Building Inspector /Zoning Officer
(CC 2009 -76)
Mayor Burd reported that she was appointing Paul Zabel as the Interim Building Inspector /Zoning Officer
for a six month period. The position will be re- evaluated at that time. Mr. Zabel has worked for the City
of Elburn for ten years. She invited the City Council to get to know him.
Mayor Burd entertained a motion to approve the appointment of Paul Zabel as Interim Building
Inspector /Zoning Officer. So moved by Alderman Plocher; seconded by Alderman Munns.
Mayor Burd and Attorney Orr indicated that no vote was needed as this is an interim position.
Mr. Zabel stated that he was looking forward to working for Yorkville.
Alderman Golinski asked if a cost analysis had been done comparing outsourcing with in -house services.
Mayor Burd explained that the city will be saving $80,000.00 because 75 -80% of permit income went to
the former building inspector. It still needs to be determined how many people will need to be added if
the city keeps this service in- house. Alderman Golinski asked if the job was posted. Mayor Burd stated it
was not. He then asked how she made her choice. Mayor Burd explained that she received
recommendations from people who work for the city and Mr. Zabel also contacted her directly.
Alderman Golinski expressed his concern with the adjustment period between the current building
inspector, Bill Dettmer and Mr. Zabel. He hoped this would be done smoothly.
Alderman Gilson asked if Mr. Zabel was currently employed with Elburn. Mr. Zabel explained he was
not because of staff cuts. He had been terminated by the city.
Alderman Spears asked if someone from the administration staff would be handling permits. Mayor Burd
stated that this subject was not on the agenda for discussion. Alderman Spears asked if Mr. Zabel had
experience working with fire inspectors. Mr. Zabel stated he had some experience and had worked with
Elburn's fire chief He explained that he was not certified but was willing to pursue this. Alderman
Spears asked if he had commercial experience and he stated he did not but will pursue training. She
asked if he had plan review experience and he stated he did and had been doing this for three years
however Elbum usually out - sourced this due to his work load. Alderman Spears asked if he had
plumbing inspection experience and he stated he did not and was not licensed to do these types of
inspections. Mayor Burd added that the city would need to hire a licensed plumbing inspector as well as a
licensed electrical inspection. Staff is researching this. 1.
Alderman Golinski asked if there was an increased liability to the city because this service is now being
done in -house and was told there was not.
Alderman Gilson asked if Mr. Zabel's position in Elbum was replaced. Mr. Zabel explained that he
started with Elbum on 1999 without any experience. He trained while working by taking certification
classes. He was a technical building inspector but handled many things for the city. He missed out on
job opportunities due to his lack of certification and was let go after being offered a public works
position.

Whispering Meadows Park — Change Order #2
(CC 2009 -77)
Interim Director Olson reported that there is an OSLAD grant outstanding so the park needs to be
completed. An extension was already given. The change order is needed because the amount of grading
needed for the park is more costly than anticipated however the change is grant eligible. Once approved,
the park should be completed in six to eight weeks.
Mayor Burd entertained a motion to approve an increase in an amount not to exceed $7,875.00 and
authorize the Mayor to execute. So moved by Alderman Golmski; seconded by Alderman Werderich.
Alderman Gilson asked if Superintendent of Parks Sleezer questioned the change. Mr. Olson indicated
that he did question it.
Alderman Spears clarified that the city was responsible for 50% of the $7,875.00 and Mr. Olson stated
that it was; the city will get reimbursed for 50% of the total cost.
Alderman Golinski questioned the Park Board's dissenting vote and Mr. Olson stated that they felt there
was no money for the change. Alderman Golinski asked the status of the caboose relocation and Mr.
Olson stated that the Park Board has not decided which park to place it in.
Motion approved by a roll call vote. Ayes -8 Nays -0

CITY COUNCIL REPORT
No report.
ATTORNEY'S REPORT
Attorney Orr reported that legislation was signed last week which changes the Freedom of Information
Act (FOIA). The new law makes many more records available to the public and is effective January 1,
2010. She has suggested a special City Council meeting in order to make everyone aware of what is now
covered. She will also be asking Attorney Gardiner to join the meeting because the changes will affect
litigation because instead of discovery, FOIA's can be used. Mayor Burd added that it may be necessary
to have a full time staff member to fill the requests as the Clerk's office is already struggling with the
amount of current requests. She also stated that Metro West does not support the legislation. She
indicated that staff would be contacting the members of the City Council to set up a meeting.
CITY CLERK'S REPORT
No report.
CITY TREASURER'S REPORT,
No report.
CITY ADMINISTATOR'S REPORT
Administrator McLaughlin reported on the following;
• As recommended by residents, the Public Works Department has posted reflective markers along

• Administrative Assistant Gehr has placed Economic Interest information in the City Council's

Autumn Creek Elementary School.

are currently working on prioritizing and evaluating the subdivision

Village. Administrator McLaughlin stated that the installation of asphalt in the gaps between sidewalks is
under consideration.

The Minutes of the Regular Meetin¢ of the Citv Council — August 25, 2009 — page 5
Alderman Spears questioned the signs on Countryside Parkway at Route 34 and Route 47. She noted that
the sign part is gone however the frame is still installed.
FINANCE DIRECTOR'S REPORT
No report.
DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS REPORT
Director Dhuse reported that due to Hometown Days the parking lots and school crosswalks will be re-
striped. Also, a car hit a fire hydrant on Van Emmon and Heustis. The driver was caught and the hydrant
repaired.
CHIEF OF POLICE'S REPORT
Chief Martin reported that the Police Department held an alcohol compliance check earlier in the day and
had 100% compliance. Also, the next BASSET class will be held at the library on August 31, 2009.
Chief Martin also reported that crosswalk enforcement was ongoing and this was posted on the portable
signs. He indicated that even with it being clearly posted, the Police Department was getting violators.
The Police Department is taking this very seriously especially with school crossings. He stated that other
communities are also cracking down on the enforcement of this violation.
Mayor Burd added that the city is not doing this for the money. A violator receives a $75.00 ticket with
only $18.00 of it going to the city. The remainder of the cost goes to Kendall County. She noted that the
city has received calls and complaints from violators and reminded everyone that this is a state law in
Illinois as well as other states.
Alderman Werderich asked for an explanation of the process. Chief Martin stated that he would get more
information to the aldermen regarding the process however cadets are being used for enforcement and
they are following the letter of the law. He explained the law states that if a person is in the crosswalk, a
driver has to stop. The crosswalk is the marked area on the street and both lanes of traffic are affected. If
a driver violates this they receive a ticket.
Alderman Spears complimented the Police Department for being one of the first communities in the area
to enforce this. She stated that since they started she has heard that the city of Chicago is also enforcing
the state law with fines of $250.00 to $700.00. Chief Martin explained that Yorkville is home ruled so it
cannot issue higher fines. Mayor Burd added that she and staff discussed meeting with legislators to ask
them to consider higher fines for violators. She also asked the City Council to educate the people in their
wards about the laws applying to crosswalks.
Alderman Munns asked at what point is a pedestrian responsible. Chief Martin explained that the police
department's accident specialist calculated the appropriate speed and distance needed to stop for
pedestrians. The department's officers are using a space in excess of this distance to enforce the law.
This distance gives motorist enough time to stop without having to slam on their brakes. It is the officer's
discretion to determine if the pedestrian or motorist is at fault. Chief Martin added that the police
department placed its portable signs 1 '/2 blocks on each side of the crosswalk on Route 47 and the signs
had little if any impact on violations.
Alderman Golinski commented that the goal should be to educate people and he suggested information on
crosswalk enforcement be placed on the water bills. Chief Martin also suggested information be placed in
the city newsletter. Alderman Werderich commented that he did not know what was expected of him as a
motorist and agreed that there is a lack of knowledge out in the public.
DIRECTOR OF PARKS & RECREATION'S REPORT
Interim Park & Recreation Director Olson reported that Hometown Days would be held next weekend on
Friday (5:00 p.m.to 10:00 p.m.), Saturday (noon to 10:00 p.m. and Sunday (noon to 10:00 p.m.). There
will be activities at the event such as a carnival, live music, venders, etc. There is a $2.00 entry fee for
Saturday and Sunday evenings however there will be fireworks on Sunday at 10:00 p.m. which are free.
Alderman Spears questioned who was paying for the fireworks and Mr. Olson explained that they were
being sponsored in their entirety by HRM Properties. He indicated that the Kendall County Record
would have a flyer listing all the event's sponsors along with a coupon for a Rec Center membership.
Mayor Burd added that the event is not funded by taxpayers but paid for by sponsors. She stated that last
year the event made money for the city.

COMMUNITY & LIAISON REPORT
Northeastern Illinois Area Agency on Aging
Alderman Spears reported that she attended the NEIL Executive Board meeting where they discussed:
• World population aging statistics — as of 2008 the number of people aged 65 or older is estimated
at 506 million. By 2040 this number is estimated to hit 1.3 billion.
• Older American Act Services Funding — funding is moving through Congress. The House is
proposing an overall increase of 3.9% while the Senate only provides for a .23% increase.
• General Revenue Funds — the Illinois Department of Aging's allocation letter indicates a loss of
approximately $84,000.00 to NEIL in General Funds. This will cause reductions in expenses at
the administrative level. For fiscal year 2010, three area agencies have lost 20% of their funding.
The state has also cut grants causing individuals receiving funds from the Circuit Breaker
Program to have the amount they receive reduced from $70.00 /month to $35.00.month.
• Veterans Directed Home and Community -Based Services — the Illinois Department on Aging has
assumed an active role in the introduction of this program. Veteran units must have established
expectations and strategies. They have committed to be ready by January 1, 2010. The intent is
to form a partnership with independent living and disability communities.
• Grants — the Board approved the renewal of grants to several Kendall County grantees. They
discussed the Salvation Army and agreed to recommend funding subject to receiving the
appropriate documentation.
• 14 Annual Senior Lifestyle Expo — this will be held September 2 and 3, 2009 from 9:00 a.m. to
2:00 p.m. at the Drury Lane Theatre and Conference Center in Oakbrook Terrace, Illinois.

1 (Pledge of Allegiance.)
2 MAYOR BURD: First National Bank of
3 Ottawa, Trust 2466, petitioner, has filed an
4 application with the United City of Yorkville
07:09PM 5 requesting approval for a preliminary PUD and
i
6 final subdivision plat.
7 The real property consists of
8 approximately six acres located on the northeast
9 corner of Route 34 and Cannonball Trail.
07:09PM 10 Do we have someone here to speak to
11 this petition?
12 MR. KRAMER: Good evening. For the
13 record, my name is Daniel J. Kramer. My address
14 is 1107A South Bridge Street, Yorkville, Illinois.
07:09PM 15 I am an attorney licensed to practice law in the
16 State of Illinois, and I represent First National
17 Bank of Ottawa as Trust No. 2466, which is the
18 record owner, and then HRM Properties &
19 Development, and they are here tonight as the
07:09PM 20 developer.
21 Basically this property comes before
22 you, as the Mayor said, for approval of a
23 preliminary PUD tonight, and really the only
24 substantial change in the project is lot one.
Depo•Court Reporting Service (630) 983 -0030

1 As most of you know from your Staff
2 and Plan Commission reports, Mr. Oliver has
3 obtained Buffalo Wild Wings as a tenant up here
4 along with some smaller stores, a telephone store
07:1OPM 5 and so on in here.
i
6 It resulted in a better change we
i
I, -
7 think in traffic flow in the sense that if you
8 remember back when we had the gas station on lot
9 one, it was a little bit of a difficult turn in
07:10PM 10 and an island hanging out, so we think the traffic
11 flow is better, we think it's a good use certainly
12 for the City.
13 We've been through Plan Commission,
14 we've been through EDC Committee and, frankly, all
I
07:10PM 15 the changes that are recommended in the Staff
16 report are things that our engineer is working on.
17 They are very, very minor redoes as far as degree
I
18 signs and things like that.
I
19 So we'd be happy to answer any
i
07:1OPM 20 questions we can tonight from the public or from
21 the City Council.
I
22 We have -- this is the rendered
23 engineering drawing as well, which I don't expect
24 you to become engineers in five minutes, but there
Depo•Court Reporting Service (630) 983 -0030
5
1 were no engineering problems.
2 Again, the most significant feature
3 is we are doing the detention facility that's
4 going to be part on our property and part on our
07:11PM 5 neighbor to the east that we have a permanent
6 cross - easement.
7 We're going to build the entire
8 facility at our expense at this point and we are
9 designing it as though Mr. Henney's property,
07:11PM 10 which is immediately east of us, was 100 percent
11 impermeable, and of course the ordinances don't
12 allow you to cover a site wall -to -wall, so we
13 can't follow up in terms of drainage capacity, so
;! 14 that's the significant feature about the detention
07:11PM 15 and engineering, and then here is an elevation of
16 the building itself.
17 The one thing we would ask you,
18 we've gone through the Staff report, like I say,
19 we have no quarrel with any of Staff's
07:11PM 20 recommendations as far as changes to the final
21 plat.
22 We would ask you to go ahead and
23 approve preliminary PUD in the meeting tonight, as
24 well as final plat subject to those engineering
