Minutes for Correction/Approval: January 7, 2021
The minutes were approved as presented.
New Business:
1. PS 2021-05 Monthly Report Review for December 2020 and January 2021
Chief Jensen said he has distributed the annual report with 2020 highlights to the Council
members. He then highlighted the two monthly reports and said the Part I crimes have
sharply increased partly due to the unemployment fraud reports. He also discussed
overtime hours, events, retirements/promotions/new hires, training, number of car crashes
and calls for service. Part II crimes were slightly lower for December. He said crisis
intervention calls are being tracked. No further discussion.

2. PS 2021-06 Adjudication Reports for January and February 2021
There were several cannabis violations for smoking while driving and for underage use.
Chief Jensen said there were also two Building and Zoning issues. No further discussion.
3. PS 2021-07 Approval of FY 22 Vehicle Purchases
Ms. Parker said the Police Department reviews their fleet needs each year and $150,000
per year is budgeted for new vehicles. Two new Explorers are proposed to be ordered
this year at a total cost of $122,000 and a 16-18 week turnaround. They will be equipped
the same as the squad cars and the Chief said light bar equipment is reused at least two
times when possible. This purchase is recommended and this item moves forward to the
City Council meeting on March 9th. Mr. Olson added that a revenue surplus is expected
in 2021 and he recommended purchasing additional items including two more police
vehicles. The committee was in favor of these recommendations.
4. PS 2021-08 Surplus Request for Disposal of Police Vehicles
Ms. Parker said a 2013 Impala with a resale value of $5,000 is ready for disposal. This
will be brought forward to the March 9th City Council agenda.
5. PS 2021-09 Liquor Code Amendment – New License Class – Movie Theater
Mr. Olson said City Clerk Pickering drafted a memo for a new liquor license class and
code amendment in response to an NCG Theater request to sell liquor at the theater.
They had proposed this a few years ago as well. Ms. Pickering said the amendment
would allow beer, wine and liquor sales. Chief Jensen said he considered the
enforcement angle and reached out to other PD's who reported no criminal issues. No
glass bottles will be allowed and contents of a can must be poured into plastic cups.
Alderman Transier inquired about the hours of service. Mr. Jankovic said sales will
begin when the business opens, but would probably not include morning service due to
minimal demand. Mr. Olson recommended approval and to make it effective
immediately. Alderman Frieders suggested waiving the $850 fee in 2021 due to the
pandemic losses for the theater. This moves to the March 23rd Council agenda with
committee approval.
Old Business: None
Additional Business
Alderman Milschewski said there are no curbs/gutters in the older sections of town and
people park in the parkway and on the sidewalks causing a muddy mess. Chief Jensen
will speak with Peter Ratos for a solution.
There was no further business and the meeting was adjourned at 6:32pm on a motion by
Alderman Milschewski and unanimous voice vote.

COMMUNITY POLICING INITIATIVES
Today, Officer Davis completed a Citizen At Risk registration
with our friend Hannah. Thank you for letting us share this
moment, and for being a part of and believing in this program.
#community
This morning one of our Officers was helping children cross the street to one of our
elementary schools. Little did the Officer know the kind of heartfelt thank you he would get.
We appreciate this card more than you will ever know. #community#yorkville
Today, while out on a walk with his owner Bill, Huckleberry decided to work on his K9
training and sniff the exterior of Officer Swanson’s squad car for hidden treats (donuts). He
unfortunately didn’t find any this time. Huckleberry was still excited to show off his skills! Bill
said his 9 month old German Shepherd is in obedience training but Huckleberry wishes he
could be a police K9 one day. Drop a picture of your future police K9’s in the comments!
This evening Officer Jordon got to make some
new friends while on patrol. These kids were
inquisitive and asked many questions about the
flashlights Officers need to carry.

DETECTIVE SQUAD
DETECTIVE SQUAD HIGHLIGHTS
As a School Resource Officer, Ryan Goldsmith is tasked with a variety of responsibilities. These
include, but are not limited to, assisting faculty with maintaining a safe, productive
environment to learn and teach, investigating criminal offenses that occur on school property
and building a strong relationship with students. As the sole member of the police department
currently assigned specifically to the schools, Officer Goldsmith represents the entire police
department to every student in the school district. As a veteran of fifteen years with the
Yorkville Police Department, Officer Goldsmith has a wealth of knowledge from his many years
of service. In March 2021, Officer Goldsmith used that knowledge as a guest speaker in eight
driver’s education classes at the Yorkville High School. When meeting with these classes,
Officer Goldsmith discussed a variety of topics such as seat belt usage, drinking and driving,
Scott’s Law, and what to do when pulled over. As a police officer who has seen the awful
results of serious traffic crashes, Officer Goldsmith was able to present the student’s with a
point of view they may not receive otherwise.
Meanwhile, the other detectives are currently investigating several in depth and lengthy
financial crimes in addition to several theft, sexual abuse / assault, burglary and fraud cases.

FACEBOOK POSTS – CALLS FOR SERVICE/INFORMATIONAL POSTS
On March 27th, 2021 at approximately 4:10pm, the Yorkville Po lice Department began
investigating threatening phone calls made to Ken Com dispatch. Over the course of several
phone calls, the caller threatened to kill police, paramedics and kill a 911 dispatcher. The caller
then proceeded to threaten to “kill the whole city” and that he would start going around the
state of Illinois to shoot people. This same individual proceeded to call and threaten a
business in the 200 block of E. Veterans Parkway. The subject threatened acts of violence
against this business and its employees.
Through the investigation Police were able to secure an arrest warrant for Claude Gauthier

of making a terrorist threat (class X felony) and two counts of falsely making a terrorist threat
(class 1 felony).
On March 28th, 2021 at approximately 12:25am, Claude Gauthier was taken into custody by
the Kendall County Special Response Team at his residence. He was transported to the Kendall
County Jail where he is being held on a 1-million-dollar bond (ten percent to apply).
Charges are not proof of guilt. The defendant listed in this release is presumed innocent and
is entitled to a fair trial, at which it is the burden of the State to prove guilt beyond a
reasonable doubt.

Program. Discussion/Informational Item Only.

Name Department
Summary
Yorkville Police Department 2021 Crisis Intervention Team Program
Background
One of our department goals for 2020 was to research and develop a Crisis Intervention Team.
Throughout the year we have been researching programs from around the area and around the country,
gathering data, developing relationships with team partners and training our staff. We have developed
our mission and core focus of our Crisis Intervention Program along with written policies outlining our
team’s response to those with suspected mental illness, developmental limitations and those in crisis.
The Department Crisis Intervention Team program has been fully operational January 1, 2021.
CIT Mission
The Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) is a partnership between the Yorkville Police Department working
with mental health consumers and family members. Our collective goal is to champion dignity and
compassion for those experiencing mental health crisis and those with developmental limitations. CIT
will exist to assist citizens to normalize and understand their physical and emotional reactions to mental
health crisis and developmental limitations. CIT officers will be part of a specialized team, which can
respond to a crisis at any time and will work with the community to assist in progressing physical and
emotional recovery from crisis events.

Kennedy Road Crosswalk Signs – Discussion
Public Safety Committee – May 6, 2021
None
N/A
James Jensen Chief of Police
Name Department
Questions surrounding crosswalk safety at the intersection of Kennedy Road and
Emerald Lane have been asked by Alderman Peterson. Alderman Peterson
requested this topic be added to the Public Safety agenda and the Public Works
agenda for discussion and review.
Summary
Questions surrounding crosswalk safety at the intersection of Kennedy Road and Emerald Lane
have been asked by Alderman Peterson. Alderman Peterson requested this topic be added to the Public
Safety Committee agenda and the Public Works Committee agenda for discussion and review.
Background
The Autumn Creek Subdivision is located on the North and South side of Kennedy Road and is a
fully improved subdivision. The intersection of Kennedy Road and Emerald Lane is an improved
intersection with traffic control devices (Stop Signs) located at the intersection of Emerald Lane South
and Kennedy Road and Emerald Lane North and Kennedy Road. Stop signs control the flow of traffic
onto Kennedy Road providing right of way for both East and Westbound Kennedy Road traffic. There
are sidewalks on both sides of Emerald Lane with a fully marked crosswalk on the Eastside of Emerald
Lane and Kennedy Road. There is also a bike path on the Southside of Kennedy Road that runs
East/West.
The Autumn Creek North Subdivision is complete with 75 single family homes and a park
(Autumn Creek Park North). This portion of the Autumn Creek Subdivision was completed around
2017. Recently, questions have been raised regarding the safety of pedestrians crossing Kennedy Road
with the primary concern being speeding vehicles that fail to yield to pedestrians in the crosswalk.
According to Public Works Director Eric Dhuse improvements to this area were discussed back
in 2017. Based on existing conditions and observations at that time the EEI Traffic Engineer
recommended the following:
Mark the crosswalk (Completed)
Add crossing signs at and in advance of the crosswalk (Completed)
Add an additional light pole overhead at the crossing (Street Lights Both Sides)
Based on the existing conditions and anticipated usage, it was not recommended to install rapid
flashing beacons at this location.
A review of traffic crash data for the intersection of Kennedy Road and Emerald Lane revealed
the following from 2017 to Present:
Year Vehicle Pedestrian Bicycle
2017 1 0 0
2018 0 0 0
2019 1 0 0
2020 1 0 0
2021 0 0 0
***All three traffic crashes were minor property damage crashes
Memorandum
To: Public Safety Committee
From: James Jensen, Police Chief
CC:
Date: May 6, 2021
Subject: Kennedy Road Crosswalk Signs - Discussion
Recommendation
Gather updated traffic counts in the area of Kennedy Road and Emerald Lane
Conduct an updated speed study in the area of Kennedy Road and Emerald Lane
Review “current” MUTCD standards for changes in code since 2017
