CITIZEN COMMENTS ON AGENDA ITEMS
Norm Baxa, a resident of Sunset Avenue, shared with the Council that he has been at this address for 35
years. He stated that the community was initially quiet, and the bowling alley would shut down for the
bowling-off seasons. Since 1989,the bowling alley has changed ownership four separate times. Each
owner came with new problems. Mr. Baxa said in 2015, he presented to the Council regarding noise
complaints and issues with the business, and at that time,the Council amended the noise ordinance after
about a year. Another problem they've had is with the outdoor activities. They are outside with volleyball
and bags all night, even during the weeknights. The new owners have placed a privacy fence near the
volleyball courts. Mr. Baxa said their lot line is a few feet outside his lot line. He noticed people walking
_ behind the fence and mentioned this to the owner,who said he would block off the entrance. Mr. Baxa
noted that it has not been blocked off.
Diane Shaffer, a resident of Sunset Avenue, shared they are newer to the neighborhood and loves it in
Yorkville. But they wish for more serenity in their home when trying to sleep at night. She stated that
when all her windows and doors are closed and locked up in the winter, she can still hear everything
going on at the bowling alley in her bedroom. She shared that it's enough noise to make you go crazy and
gives her headaches. People from the neighborhood have met with Chris,the new owner, hoping to work
through the issues. Ms. Shaffer said she would text Chris when the music is too loud. She reported that
even when the bands stop and they put the jukebox on, it does not sound any different. The building itself
The Minutes of the Reiular Meeting of the City Council—February 27,2024—Page 2 of 6
is a problem due to its metal construction. The owners mentioned they may be insulating and residing,
which would be great,but the neighbors fear the building owner is in no rush. She said she does not like
to have to call the police and would like that to be a last resort. She suggested changes to the noise
ordinance to make it more realistic and livable for everyone in the area.
Roxanne, a resident of Sunset Avenue, shared she has been in this home since 2011. She reported that she
has been in contact with the City since 2014 regarding the bowling alley issues. She suggested mirroring
some of the other counties' noise ordinance. She would like us to seriously look at adjusting the noise
ordinance. The subdivision house rates will drop because no one wants to live next to the bowling alley.
Chris Reum, owner of Pinz, shared they have owned the business for two years this April. Since taking
ownership,they have tried working with the neighbors and offered his cell phone number to resolve any
problems. They built an outdoor stage when they first took over before knowing more about the noise
ordinances and decided it would not work for the neighbors and themselves;they have not used it since.
They have since put lights out at the volleyball courts, so they no longer have to use the construction
lights with generators due to the noise. The owner and their managers constantly check the noise levels
with their decibel readers. This past year of 2023,they had violated the noise ordinance twice. He wants
to upgrade the building but does not own it. The building owner has promised to reside and install a new
roof this spring with an agreement to some soundproofing. Mr. Reum also mentioned purchasing sound
equipment to control the sound levels. He believes they have been good neighbors for the last few years;
when neighbors reach out,they try to give them peace of mind.

ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE REPORT
Resolution 2024-12 Approving an Amendment to the United City of
Yorkville Employee Manual
(ADM 2024-06)
Alderman Marek made a motion to approve a Resolution Approving an Amendment to the United City of
Yorkville Employee Manual and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute; seconded by Alderman
Funkhouser.
City Administrator Olson reported that a supplemental memo and policy were sent to the Council this
afternoon and will be available as a supplemental packet after the meeting. This is due to some last-
minute legal changes. The state has passed a law requiring the City to give paid time off to full-time and
part-time employees. Currently,the City offers time off for full-time employees only. The first step is that
part-time employees under the new law will accrue 1 hour of paid vacation time per 40 work hours. For
example,a full-time employee currently receiving 120 hours of vacation time will now have 80 hours of
vacation and 40 hours of paid leave time. Essentially, employees will see not much of a difference.The
vacation and paid leave time will continue functioning as they do now. The change is the hours are
coming from separate time banks. Currently, a person does not receive vacation time until six months
after hire, which is 40 hours, and an additional 40 hours after one year of employment. With the new
policy,they will still receive their 40 hours at their one-year mark but will receive the first initial 40 hours
on their hire date. They cannot use the paid leave time until 90 days after their hire date. The state law
policy goes into effect on March 151
Alderman Transier asked what the penalty is if the City is not in compliance with the state mandates.
Attorney Lamb stated the penalty depends on whether an employee reports the City's noncompliance to
the Department of Labor. They would then investigate the reporting. There is a series of fines listed in the
statute. Alderman Marek asked for confirmation if these are non-union employees only, which City
Administrator Olson confirmed. Alderman Funkhouser asked what the unfunded mandate cost is. City
Administrator Olson stated that the staff had not estimated a total. The most significant cost will be the
part-time employee benefits, which can be tracked in real-time, and an update can be given at a later date.

CITY COUNCIL REPORT
Pinz Noise Issues
Alderman Soling shared that his residence is near the residents who spoke earlier on the subject, but most
of the time,he does not hear the noise. Alderman Soling believes that how the noise circulates the
property depends on where you can hear the music's bass. He did state that, at times,he has heard music
with the doors and windows closed in his basement around 1 1:30 p.m. /midnight. Alderman Soling stated
The Minutes of the Regular Meetina of the City Council—February 27,2024—Paae 5 of 6
the owner has been forthcoming with trying to work on the issues. He also shared he is looking for a
possible change within the ordinance to include something regarding businesses adjacent to residential
areas. He would like to find a happy medium where the lives of the residents are not disrupted without
affecting the business. Alderman Transier said a good jumping-off point would be researching local
municipalities' ordinances. Alderman Funkhouser shared that the City has been hearing about this issue
for years, and a good place to start is reviewing the ordinances. Mayor Purcell asked Alderman Soling if
the noise had improved since the new owners took over. Alderman Soling shared it has improved,and he
would mainly hear it when they had the outdoor bands. Alderman Soling said the main issue is the metal
-- building. Alderman Koch asked the business owner if panels would work for them to block out the noise.
Mr. Reum said he believed they would help. They call them IDOT walls and have discussed them, but the
issue is that he does not own the building. Alderman Funkhouser asked if the city had done any sound
studies when this issue was previously brought up. The City Administrator and Community Development
Director said the City completed a sound study. The company that did the study had suggested building
updates to help and suggestions for updates to the City's noise ordinance. Alderman Funkhouser
suggested pulling that information and looking it over again. Alderman Koch asked Chief Jensen if squad
cars carry meters. Chief Jensen stated the department has only two meters. When the police department
receives a call,they go to the resident's home and measure the sound from their property edge. They will
ask the business to turn it down if they receive an anonymous call. They also ask the business to turn it
down if they are in violation or not. Mayor Purcell reported staff will look into other ordinances and
review the past sound study.
