CITIZEN COMMENTS
Dave Hubert, a Yorkville resident of Ward 1, shared that he had read the last few meeting minutes and
noted a lot of new construction going on within the city. He mentioned that he thought the water loans
were supposed to be at 0%. Mayor Purcell shared that there will be a few loans for the water project, but
none will be at 0%. Mr. Hubert asked if there were any implications on the population for any of these
loans. He asked if we did a special census and became home rule, would the City lose its chances on any
of the loans? Mayor Purcell shared that it would not be possible as the city would close on the loan prior
to any census. Mr. Hubert also asked if remediation efforts for water loss would be discussed at this
meeting, but Mayor Purcell said they would not be at tonight's meeting.

(WHEREUPON, the following
proceedings were had in the public
hearing portion of the meeting:)
MAYOR PURCELL: I will now open the
public hearing for the 2024 tax levy estimate.
Again, this is a public hearing, we are not
voting on it tonight, but this is the public
hearing.
If anyone would like to speak,
anyone in person would like to speak, regarding
the 2024 tax levy estimate, which will be
assessed in 2025 or collected in 2025, please
step forward, state your name and speak.
JERRY GAWLIK,
testified from the podium as follows:
MR. GAWLIK: My name is Jerry Gawlik. I
live at 2793 Gains Court here in Yorkville.
I am currently the president of The
Colonies H O A , which is a 50-plus community, of
which the majority are seniors and the rest
probably are pretty close to it. I am also on
the Senior Services Advisory Committee here in
Yorkville.
My understanding, you are looking to

decide an increase in levy for inflationary costs
versus levy only to cover the interest in EAV
from new construction.
The library completed paying off its
bond. As a result we want to increase the
citizen's levy and still lower our taxes due to
the bond completion thinking we still save money.
Well, one thing that needs to be
considered is the homeowner's increase in EAV
which happened this year. There are many with
double digit increases in EAV, including myself,
at 12 percent.
The 300,000 home mentioned against
the calculation was more like 270,000 last year.
It appears that homeowners now are forced to pay
more taxes on higher EAV, possibly without any
savings projected.
You might say homeowners take
advantage of the higher E A V increasing the worth
of their home, but many working families see
their homes as a retirement factor in which they
may retire with peace of mind.
If forced to sell because they no
longer can afford real estate taxes, this negates

any of their advantage to combat inflation at
retirement.
As for seniors already retired
living in their homes, many will use the increase
in home worth to help them in their next phase of
life, which possibly is their last phase.
This is using net worth of home to
help them find good assisted living, nursing care
centers, or even having to reverse mortgage to
pay for home health care.
Increase in home net worth combats
an ongoing rapid rise in all of these costs, and
I can tell you the costs of some of these centers
are really getting astronomical.
In Kendall County only a total
income of I believe 60,000 or less qualifies for
a tax freeze. Many seniors make more, but as
this time goes on, the 60,000 does not change.
Senior Social Security only rises at
approximately about two and a half to
three percent each year, once again eroding their
ability for good living and peace of mind. These
same seniors may have to rely on federal and
state government to help them.

My last point, I am not an auditor
or financial expert, just a citizen looking at
the April 30th, 2024 year-end audit review. As a
whole on a glance -- as a whole at a glance, it
is a glowing report with positives throughout for
both the present and future of Yorkville.
I sincerely applaud the entire City
staff and City Council for their diligence in
maintaining the very solid status with the City
of Yorkville.
As stated in the 4 -30-24 annual
financial report, total revenue was up 17.4
percent to approximately 52.1 million, although
expenses were up 23.9 percent to a total
approximate expense of 37.6 million. The net
gain is approximately 14.5 million to the
village -- to the City.
The City's total government funds
combined is a positive of approximately
2 .7 million, of which the General Fund gained
approximately 320,000, ending in a balance of
this fund of 11.3 million dollars.
The future is bright with positive
growth and number of homes started, retail and

commercial. Given these scenarios, it then begs
the question of why increase resident taxes due
to inflationary costs. Does it not have funds to
carry inflationary costs as of the last report?
I believe the levy increase should
only cover the increased E VA for new
construction. It may be small and seemingly
insignificant amounts, but it all adds up in
time.
I want to thank you for your time
and your consideration. That's what I have to
say.
MAYOR PURCELL: Thank you very much. Is
there anyone else here who would like to speak
regarding the 2024 tax levy estimate?
(No response.)
MAYOR PURCELL: Thank you. Is there
anyone in Zoomland who would like to speak

MAYOR PURCELL: Thank you.
ANDREW BENNETT,
testified via Zoom as follows:
MR. BENNETT: Yeah, I just have one
question. I am a neighbor, resident in the Fox
Hill area that's close by to the zoning.
The one question I do have, and I
think speaks to a lot of the neighbors in Fox
Hill, is just regarding the property value impact
of this decision.
Has any analysis been done to
understand the impact of the manufacturing zoning
or nearby residential property values, and will
the City of Yorkville, you know, compensate any
homeowners if property values do decrease due to
this annexation zoning?

hearing, you are welcome to ask questions and
comment. We can take questions and get back to
you if you have multiple questions, but we are
not here to do a give-and-take at this point.
So if you want us to answer those,
we get back to you, we can get you information

consider, it kind of goes along with that, but I
guess what are some of the long-term plans for
manufacturing development in this particular area
and, you know, if this rezoning happens, is it
likely to be followed by similar changes nearby,
and just are there any -- if, you know, this data
center comes into play, are there any plans to
just include some kind of a buffer zone or
natural barrier between the manufacturing
district, the data center, and the residential
areas, the neighbors of Fox Hill.
So that's -- that concludes my
questions for that, but just mainly interested in
knowing like what barriers, buffer zones, there
might be put in place between the neighbors and
the data center.
MAYOR PURCELL: Okay. Yeah. Bart will
get you information, and if you have other
questions, you can email him back. Those are
good questions.
