So moved by Alderman Plocher; seconded by Alderman Marek. It was asked if the appointments could be separated to be voted on individually instead of as a group. Mayor Purcell said the council could vote on these separately; however,he preferred that his appointments be voted on as a group. He understands that some people would like other people appointed; however, appointments are made by the Mayor and these are his choices for appointments. Mayor Purcell said that he had received a few questions from council members on his appointments prior to the meeting. One of the questions he received was about the proposal to move the city's preschool program into the library which the Library Board was not in favor of. He said that at the last Library Board meeting that he and city staff members attended to discuss the proposal he felt there had been a good discussion about the proposed idea and Library Board members had indicated they had a few unanswered questions about the proposal that they wanted to look into. Mayor Purcell left the meeting thinking the discussion on working together was going to continue to take place. He stated that later that evening after he left the meeting,the Library Board recessed the meeting and then they came back into session and voted to end the conversation with the city. He said the city is looking at different options for the preschool that do not involve using the library. He stated that his appointments have nothing to do with forcing a preschool into the library. Mayor Purcell said there were several actions taken by the Library Board that he was very disappointed with. The first is that it has been almost a month since that board meeting and he has not yet been contacted by the board president informing him that the board wants to go in a different direction for the library. The next item is that the Library Board had their library staff comment at that meeting about the preschool proposal. Mayor Purcell heard one library staff member comment during the meeting that"this building is not an appropriate place for young children". He said that if this is an indication of how the library staff thinks,and the Library Board is condoning that—then he is really struggling with this type of attitude. Additionally, since that meeting,the library has now had a committee meeting on forming a library district. Forming a district could increase the library's expenses by over$100,000 per year. To pay for those expenses,they are looking at forcing taxpayers into their library district. Mayor Purcell stated that when he ran for Mayor,the idea of forced annexation was one of the hottest issues. He also mentioned that he is looking for a group of board members who are interested in working with the school ^ district. He stated that he has heard from several school board members and several administrators at the school,that their relationship with the library is shaky at best. He said pre-COVID,the library's numbers were decreasing,and the board's answer is that they should bring more people into the taxing body. He doesn't think the answer is forming a new taxing body and he doesn't feel the residents need bigger government. Mayor Purcell thinks that what the city needs is a group that wants to work with others. He said that the city works well with the schools,county,health department,and the fire district. Discussion took place regarding the process. It was mentioned that one of the appointees to the Library Board had not submitted their application form, so the council members did not have any information as to that appointee. It was also discussed that there was not any type of public advertisement indicating that the city was seeking candidates to be appointed to the Library Board. The Minutes of the Regular Meeting of the City Council—June 8,2021—Page 4 of 7 Alderman Funkhouser made a motion to remove the three Library Board appointments to separate them for further consideration at a later date; seconded by Alderman Tarulis. Motion to amend defeated by a roll call vote.

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE REPORT Comprehensive Plan—Future Land Use Review (EDC 2021-25) Senior Planner Engberg told the council that at the end of March,the Kendall County Comprehensive Land Plan and Ordinance Committee held a meeting to discuss potential future land uses south of the river along West Highpoint Road which is going to become South Eldamain Road as part of the Eldamain Road bridge and roadway expansion project. The bridge and roadway expansion has potential to provide development and land uses different than those projected when the county and city did their existing comprehensive plans. Kendall County is looking at designating the county portion of the areas east and west of S. Eldamain Road as mixed-use business which would allow for offices,wholesale, and light industrial uses. The county has asked if the city would consider changing its' portion of land on the east side of S. Eldamain Road from estate/conservation residential land use to general industrial. Planner Engberg said that he is looking for comments from the council to take back to Kendall County. One item to consider is that the city's 2016 comprehensive plan has a ten-year planning horizon. When the 2016 comprehensive plan was developed it was not thought that these outer edges of the city would be developed within ten years and the zoning designations were put in as a placeholder. Staff is looking to start the update process for a new comprehensive plan in 2023-2024 in order to have it completed by 2026. He mentioned the council might want to wait and evaluate this area once the S. Eldamain Road project is complete. He also mentioned that Metra Rail is currently conducting their study to see where rail access would go. Additionally,this area has no water or sanitary facilities yet. It should be noted that the comprehensive plan is a guide for development and is not set in stone. Community Development Director Noble said there are a few items for council to consider. One, is that when the city looks at changing its' comprehensive plan,they get the owners with property in the area as stakeholders. She does not believe that the county has reached out to these landowners to see how they envision their property developing. She said that most likely if these properties develop,they will want to annex to the city so they can get their utilities from the city. She noted that at this point, city utilities do not extend to this area. Alderman Funkhouser commented that he thinks this makes sense to look at a higher use once the road improvement project is completed;however he has two concerns. The first is where the road makes the jog, immediately south of the river,the parcel of land where on the east side is forest preserve and on the west side is forest preserve. He feels this triangle of land from Fox Road to the new S. Eldamain Road and the forest preserve should be kept as estate residential because it is located between forest preserve land on both sides and he doesn't think industrial should be located between the two forest preserves. His second concern is that for everything south of Fox Road to Route 71,the county is proposing the city convert an area of almost 3000 feet of depth. There is one county subdivision located near there, and he thinks the city may get a lot of pushback from those county residents. He thought that area should be made a little shallower and not extend that close to those residents. Mayor Purcell asked staff to forward the comments to the county. PUBLIC SAFETY COMMITTEE REPORT No report. ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE REPORT No report. PARK BOARD Golf Outing Parks and Recreation Director Evans reported that the joint city/Yorkville Educational Foundation golf outing would be held on June 10`h and they have close to 100 golfers. The Minutes of the Regular Meetine of the City Council—June 8,2021—Page 5 of 7 Social Gathering Parks and Recreation Director Evans reported that the Social Gathering event would be held on June 11' from 6:30 p.m.to 9:30 p.m. at Riverfront Park. The Whiskey Romance Band will perform starting at 6:30 and there will be fireworks at 9:30. PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION No report. CITY COUNCIL REPORT No report. CITY CLERK'S REPORT No report. COMMUNITY&LIAISON REPORT KenCom Alderman Funkhouser reported that KenCom held their quarterly board meeting and issued their press release for their license plate reader program that is being implemented. Aurora Area Convention&Visitors Bureau Alderman Funkhouser reported that the AACVB held their board meeting and discussed some of the business re-openings. The Paramount theater in Aurora will be opening as well as Raging Waves Waterpark in Yorkville. He said that finances for the AACVB exceeded their expectations during the pandemic. They are also exploring the idea of moving the AACVB offices to another location. STAFF REPORT No report. MAYOR'S REPORT(cont'd) COVID-19 Mayor Purcell thanked Lynn Dubajic for all of her hard work in helping the health department with the COVID clinic. He thanked the council for their support in letting the health department use the Prairie Pointe building for the COVID clinic as well as their support of Yorkville businesses during the pandemic. He also thanked the school board for keeping the Yorkville schools open during the pandemic and giving parents a choice between on-site versus remote learning for their children. City Building Updates (CC 2021-04) Administrator Olson said that in the next couple of meetings there will be discussion on the construction manager versus a general contractor for the Prairie Pointe building renovations. He will be sending out a tentative schedule for the construction buildout for the Prairie Pointe building. Staff is trying to lay out a schedule of the items that the council will need to review and approve. In general,the intent is to give council all of the big picture updates that need approval and then staff will be doing most of the internal approvals of the construction documents and bidding materials that are more administrative in nature. Administrator Olson said that staff did a walk-through of the Public Works building with Kluber last Thursday. Alderman Funkhouser asked about the potential public partnership with the Kendall Area Transit(KAT)for the Public Works facility. Administrator Olson said that Kendall County Administrator Koeppel had approached him and said that KAT, as a public transit agency,has availability to funding streams at the federal/state level that the city does not have access to. KAT currently has —$300,000 to be used for a facility. They can't use this money for rent and they can't give it to Kendall County since the county is the parent entity of KAT. Kendall Area Transit is an entity that needs space and they might have access to funding if something could be worked out. Additionally,there might be some efficiencies to sharing Public Works space with KAT. It was asked how the contract would work with Kluber if the city is working with KAT. Administrator Olson said that the city contract was between the city and Kluber only. KAT would need to negotiate with Kluber separately and the county board would need to sign off on that contract. Kluber has indicated that if KAT also signs a contract with Kluber,there may be some cost efficiencies. PRESENTATIONS(cont'd) Water Study Alternative Water Source Study(AWSS)Update Overview (CC 2021-38) Jeffrey Freeman, from Engineering Enterprises,Inc., gave a presentation on water source sustainability options for the city(see attached). The purpose of the presentation was to give an overview of the water source study update that EEI conducted for the city which establishes the need for an alternative water source for the future. The city will work through the evaluation over the next several months in anticipation of making a decision by the end of the year as to which water source direction the city would The Minutes of the Reiular Meetine of the City Council—June 8,2021—Paae 6 of 7 like to go. Implementation of a new water source could take up to a decade to put in place. When it comes to water source sustainability,the Illinois State Water Survey(ISWS)has been modeling the deep- water aquifer system. Currently, all of the city's wells draw their water from a deep-water aquifer that covers seven states in the Midwest. Within the last few weeks,EEI received updated information from the ISWS. The ISWS modeling already shows a risk of declining well performance in portions of Kendall County. If communities keep using the deep-water aquifer as their sole source of water, and alternative water sources are not selected,by 2050,this risk area is projected to encompass Yorkville and by 2070, it is projected that there is a risk of well inoperability,especially during peak water use times. The aquifer is currently being pumped at an unsustainable rate. Alternative water supply sources which can be considered include the Fox River,Lake Michigan water via the Joliet Area Water Commission,Lake Michigan water via the DuPage Water Commission or Lake Michigan water through the Illinois Lake Water Company,which is a private utility company. Within the Yorkville region, if the Fox River is selected,a back-up supply source is still needed. The river will have a restricted low flow level which means that if the river is below a certain level,then the city would not be allowed to withdraw from the river;therefore,the city would need a back-up supply source of water to be able to meet the water demands in our system. Both Elgin and Aurora use the Fox River for water and both communities use their wells as their back-up water source. For example,Elgin currently uses 10%of the deep-water aquifer via their wells to supplement their water supply from the Fox River. If the Fox River is selected,there are two options: Yorkville could choose the Fox River independent from Montgomery or Oswego or a sub-region could be formed in which Montgomery, Oswego, and Yorkville could join together to utilize the Fox River as a source of water. If a sub-region is formed,there might be some economies of scale. A form of governance would need to be determined as well. The alternative to water from the Fox River is water from Lake Michigan. The Supreme Court has set a diversion limit on the amount of Lake Michigan water that can be used by Illinois. That limit is set at 3,200 cfs. The Illinois Department of Natural Resources(IDNR)manages the Lake Michigan Allocation and has indicated that currently there is sufficient diversion remaining to provide water to Joliet and the Joliet area communities that are currently considering connection. To use Lake Michigan water,there are three supply options: Joliet Area Water Commission,DuPage Water Commission,and the Illinois Lake Water Company/Plainfield. The Joliet Area Water Commission is a new system being formed which will be purchasing Lake Michigan water from the City of Chicago. There are currently twelve communities in discussion about joining this commission and if Yorkville chooses to join this commission now,there is an opportunity to be a charter member. A benefit of being a charter member is the ability to impact the governance of the commission by helping to formulate the bylaws for the commission. The DuPage Water Commission is an existing system that also purchases Lake Michigan water from the City of Chicago. It was organized in the 1980s and has twenty-three charter communities along with six subsequent communities for a total of twenty-nine communities currently being served. The commission is broken down into six districts and the 13 member Water Commission Board includes one municipal representative from each of the six districts, one county representative from each of the six districts, and the County Board Chairman who also serves as the Chairman of the Water Commission Board. There have been some initial discussions about representation by the Montgomery, Oswego, and Yorkville area and how that would be structured,but nothing has been finalized yet. The Illinois Lake Water Company/Plainfield is a private utility that brings Lake Michigan water from Bedford Park,who receives water from Chicago. In this option,Yorkville would just be purchasing water from a private utility per the contract with the utility. Engineer Freeman said there are several items to consider when making a decision on the alternative water source. Items to consider include costs,risk,water quality,management/staffing, control/governance,and sustainability/quantity. EEI is going to create a weighted decision matrix that council members can use to rank what is most important to them and their constituents. Engineer Freeman said that the Joliet Area Water Commission should have refined cost estimates ready in July or August. By September,the cost analysis should be completed for all alternatives. After the cost analysis is complete,there will be a public information/open house meeting. He expects to then have a detailed alternative water source study presentation for the City Council in October. It is anticipated that the council could select the alternative water source program in November or December. The Joliet system has said they would like a decision by the end of the year or the first of next year. ADDITIONAL BUSINESS None. The Minutes of the Regular Meeting of the City Council—June 8,2021—Page 7 of 7 CITIZEN COMMENTS Darren Crawford, President of the Yorkville Library Board of Trustees,mentioned that after listening to the water study presentation,the council might want to check into controlled system takeover by foreign or domestic ransomware groups. He suggested the council ask what type of control system is being used for the water system and what the protections are against malicious software. Additionally, if the system goes down,who gets priority first for water. He went on to make further comments regarding Library operations. He said it was mentioned that taxes were going to increase if the Library formed a Library District. Mr. Crawford said if they become a Library District, it will be the original boundaries of the city and no one's taxes will go up because it will be the same levy and the only way is if they ask the community and the community will vote to join the district. When it comes to what happened with the preschool,he said when he was approached by the Mayor in January,he took the idea to the Library Board in good faith. He said they talked about three different options and he thought the final option looked good. Under legal advice from the Library's attorney,he was told that the Library Board had to be careful not to do anything that would affect Library operations. That was why the board voted against the proposal. Regarding the comment about the vote taking place after everyone left,he said that was because a board member brought it up and said there was an item in the packet that wasn't voted on and that is why the vote occurred after the Mayor and others had left the meeting. Cesar Chacon, spouse of a Library Board Trustee,thanked Aldermen Funkhouser and Milschewski for their comments during the discussion about the Library Board appointments. He said that not everyone understands how important the library is to a lot of constituents in the community. EXECUTIVE SESSION None.
