(WHEREUPON, the following
proceedings were had in public
hearing, commencing at 7 :16 p .m .
as follows:)
MAYOR PURCELL: 7 :16. I will open the
public hearing for the Project Steel-Prologis
Data Center annexation agreement. So the public
hearing is now open.
Were we going to have somebody do a
presentation or talk a little? What's -- Krysti,
tell me, please.
MS. NOBLE: The petitioner is here to do
their presentation. If you like I can do a --
MAYOR PURCELL: Why don't you start with
whatever and then turn it over to them, and
just -- the only thing we ask, you probably know
this, but when you get up there, just please
state your name for the record.
MS. NOBLE: So the petitioner is
Prologis and they are seeking to annex 16
parcels totaling about 540 acres to the City of
Yorkville for a master plan high tech data center
campus.
In addition to annexation, the

petitioner, as Bart mentioned, is going to
request rezoning to the M -2 District, looking for
a special use for a planned unit development and
approval of a preliminary PUD plan.
Tonight's meeting, the data center
campus plan, has been revised from the initial
one presented. The revised plan shows a phased
development plan of 18 two-story buildings
totaling about 6 .8 million square feet.
The petitioner is here tonight to
overview their project, and we can also talk
about the draft annexation agreement, which is
attached to the packet as well.
MAYOR PURCELL: Krysti?
MS. NOBLE: Yes.
MAYOR PURCELL: How many square feet did
you say?
MS. NOBLE: 6 .8 million square feet.
MAYOR PURCELL: With all the buildings?
MS. NOBLE: Correct.
MAYOR PURCELL: Thank you very much.

presentation, we are going to ask questions,
sometimes members of the public might have
questions. If you are able to answer those, go
ahead. Okay?
MR. WITT: Perfect.
MAYOR PURCELL: Thank you.
J .C . WITT,
testified before the City Council as follows:
MR. WITT: Good evening, and thank you
for the time. My name is J .C . Witt. I run
investments for Prologis in the greater Chicago
area around data centers, and I am here today to
give a little intro on who Prologis is, and I am
joined by Clare Chandler, and then Katie Fraser
is also dialed in here.
So Prologis is a company, global
real estate company we like to say with local
presence. We own about 1 .3 billion square feet
of industrial and data center space across the
globe.
We have been building data centers
since 1999 and we have currently about 30 data
centers in our portfolio across the United
States.

We have a pipeline of about -- that
number is a little outdated, but two and a half
billion in data centers right now that are under
construction to add to our portfolio, and A rated
company, been around for the better part of
40 years doing construction, owning it and
leasing it to tenants.
We have a local presence in the
greater Chicago area that -- in that bottom I 55
number is wrong, we had a fat finger there with
an extra three, but we have an aggregate total
inventory of about 83,000,000 square feet of
predominantly industrial with a sprinkling of
data center, mainly around the O 'Hare Airport
submarket.
We are an active member in all the
communities we invest in. We have active
volunteering for Toys for Tots, Boy Scouts for
America. We do have an impact day every year.
And this is a picture from us doing
a feed at the food bank in the greater Chicago
area, and I 'll pass it over to here to Kurt to
get into some of the details of the project.
MAYOR PURCELL: Thank you very much.

KURT S . ASPROOTH,
testified before the City Council as follows:
MR. ASPROOTH: Thanks J .C . My name is
Kurt Asprooth, I am an attorney with the law firm
of Ancel, Glink, I represent Prologis, and we are
excited to be here tonight to introduce Project
Steel.
We are going to give kind of just a
very high level overview; obviously this is kind
of the start of our process. As we've heard,
there's going to be several more hearings as we
go through here.
Try not to be too redundant. The
staff memo, your packet, is very comprehensive as
well. I won't try to cover all of that here in
this kind of high level overview.
So the property in question is about
540 acres, it's highlighted in orange on this
slide here, generally bounded by Galena Road on
the north, Corneils Road on the south and
Eldamain on the west.
Currently the property is generally
farmland. It's bisected by ComEd transmission
lines that feed into that subsection there south

of Corneils Road, which is highlighted in blue.
So for the overall site plan,
Prologis is proposing 18 data center buildings;
build this in three phases, six buildings for
each phase. Each phase will have its own
electrical substation.
Each phase is also going to be
independent, it's going to have its own public
improvements, retention ponds, roads and things
of that nature.
To deliver this value, this level of
investment in the City of Yorkville, United City
of Yorkville here, we are seeking to annex all of
that property into the center.
As was mentioned, we are seeking to
rezone that to the M -2 district, along with a
planned unit development and a preliminary plan
as well.
So generally we believe this is
consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan.
This whole corridor along Eldamain has been
designated as kind of an industrial M -2 corridor
here, and as Council has heard from other
presentations, there is other data center

interest in this same area with the Project
Cardinal project to the north and CyrusOne
project to the south, so this kind of fits in
with that general corridor along Eldamain here
that is developing as kind of a data center
corridor overall.
This is kind of the first elevation
here, just kind of a conceptual rendering of what
that campus is going to look like. Each data
center building would be two stories tall between
6 0 and 7 0 feet in height.
They are primarily going to be
used -- built using concrete, tilt-up concrete
panels, metal panels, materials that are very
consistent in data centers across the country.
There is going to be some
enhancements along some of those frontages there,
and Eldamain, Corneils Road, to make sure that we
are complying with the City's enhanced -- I
believe it's the gateway area there, so that we
make sure this looks nice for those important
rights-of-way that the city has along this area.
You can see there's also going to be
internal access drives for each building, along

with some equipment yards adjacent to the
building, and then we'll have rooftop mechanical
on the east that's going to be fully screened
there to the full height.
This is just another elevation, it's
going to show what the proposed data center
buildings would look like from kind of eye level
here. You can see we are going to have
landscaping around the outside of the building
and through the parking areas.
The goal here is to make sure that
this looks attractive if anybody is going to be
looking at it from any of those roads. We are
really committed to making this kind of an
architecturally and aesthetically pleasing
development.
That's kind of a high level
overview. We are certainly happy to answer any
questions. Look forward to any feedback from the
Council. We look forward to working with --
continuing to work with the City on this project.
MAYOR PURCELL: Thank you. Anyone else
from your group have anything to offer?
MR. ASPROOTH: That's all we have.

looking at me?
MAYOR PURCELL: Well, you looked at me.
ALDERMAN FUNKHOUSER: Just a couple of
quick questions. So I note that the -- part of
Beecher is being --
MAYOR PURCELL: Make sure you talk into
the mic, please.
ALDERMAN FUNKHOUSER: Part of Beecher is
being vacated per your plan, you are looking to
have Beecher on the far east side of the
property.
That's the only road that you would
have that is part of our comprehensive planning
of transportation connecting this corridor, is
the realigned Beecher Road.
Is that -- Would that be fully
approved by the plan with the realignment that's
being proposed?
MR. ASPROOTH: Yes.
ALDERMAN FUNKHOUSER: Okay. And then we
have imposed hundred foot landscape buffers

around perimeters of other developments that have
come in for data centers.
It doesn't appear that there is a
hundred foot, maybe 60-foot buffer, around
perimeters.
Would you be looking at doing the
hundred foot as has been imposed on the other
projects as well?
MR. WITT: Yes, Chris. I haven't looked
at it in detail, but yes, we would be fine with
being in align with the other projects that have
been --
MAYOR PURCELL: So can I ask a question?
If you are going to answer, could you step to the
mic, please?
MR. ASPROOTH: Sorry.
MR. WITT: Sorry.
MAYOR PURCELL: Sorry, just want to make
sure.
MR. ASPROOTH: Of course. Of course.

other projects that have been approved. I
couldn't tell you in detail looking at t he plan
where specifically you are saying we are inside
the hundred feet, but we can look at those
specific areas.
ALDERMAN FUNKHOUSER: So the perimeter
berming, landscape and hundred foot, you would
look to --
MR. WITT: Yes.
ALDERMAN FUNKHOUSER: And staff would
work with you. Okay.
And then issues of building height.
The restriction within the 1500 foot of
residential, the 70 foot, you are good being
compliant, or will be compliant with that, or is
that an issue for you moving forward?
MR. WITT: I am -- Katie, I know you are
on the phone. I know you have been more in the
weeds on that. Do you mind?
KATIE FRASER,
testified before the City Council as follows:
MS. FRASER: Yes. And to answer the
first -- to reiterate the first question on
landscaping, we have the hundred foot buffer and

we are more than happy to provide that, and for
what would be -- what was the next one? The
building height. So yeah, for the building
height, for all mechanical equipment, all 70 feet
that's been requested by City staff.
ALDERMAN FUNKHOUSER: And then your
buildings, are you primarily using air-cooled
technology, or what is the type of methodology
you are using for that?
MR. WITT: Yeah, great question, and I
know there was some preliminary questions, too,
about there being an end customer, and so I would
think both of those are linked.
The way we -- the way we think these
projects are most successful is kind of creating
a site plan and a design that is most flexible to
those customers to come in and create kind of
what they have and their specific design needs,
and so at this point in time, the actual cooling
design has not been finalized for the buildings,
and that gets kind of more refined as we move
further along in the process and we get a lot
more closer feedback to some of those end use
customers.

ALDERMAN FUNKHOUSER: And that's a good
point you have made, is you are not the end user,
you are basically just a landlord to say for the
users that are going to be leasing your space
within the buildings .
MR. WITT: That's correct. Yep, yep.
Just like all of our industrial, we will buy the
land, build the building, and building the
building could come all the way down to the
server rack on these data centers, and then we
will lease that to these users for long-term
leases and stay on as the owner.
ALDERMAN FUNKHOUSER: And for this site,
as I look at it, I do think it is a very dense
site for the amount of buildings, amount of
square footage, on this one.
Looking at the access, the private
drives that are through this, have you had
conversations with the fire department, or does
the staff know, have we had those conversations,
are they comfortable with building separation,
drive access, et cetera, even through the private
facilities?

a planning council review and they had not
expressed any concerns .
ALDERMAN FUNKHOUSER: That's it for now.
MAYOR PURCELL: I want to follow up if I
could. The question regarding the cooling
systems, are we including in our ordinance that
they should be air cooled versus water cooled?
MS. NOBLE: No, we do not have a
requirement from the land planning aspect on the
technology of air cooled versus water cooled.
Brad can talk to you more from the
engineering perspective.
MR. SANDERSON: It's our understanding
that a lower intensity water use is being
presented, so the exact technology probably is
still to be determined, but it's not a water
intensive cooling system that's being proposed ,
and I believe it will be in one of the
agreements, but perhaps not in the annexation
agreement.
MR. WITT: Yes, I can make a comment on
that.
MAYOR PURCELL: Please.
MR. WITT: So throwing air cooled and

water cooled around kind of is a very broad brush
statement for the cooling system.
So I could say we're doing water
cooling here, we would actually be using less --
we could be using less water than an air cooled
system because they have closed loop water
systems where it stays in one loop and doesn't
evaporate at all, where the air cooled systems
use some evaporation, so it just -- they all
depend on the specifics of those buildings and
the design, but to Brad's point, we are going to
work within the confines of the actual water
availability, and it's not a heavy water usage.
MAYOR PURCELL: Okay. Well --
ALDERMAN FUNKHOUSER: That would
clarify. My intent was it's a lesser intense
water use.
MR. WITT: Yes, yes.
ALDERMAN KOCH: And is that water in the
cooling or is that a glycol-type thing?
MAYOR PURCELL: Ken, talk into your mic,
please.
ALDERMAN KOCH: Is that a glycol-type
system or is it water, purely water?

MR. WITT: Just purely water, yep.
MAYOR PURCELL: Okay.
MR. WITT: It gets treated for
demineralization, but it's just water.
MAYOR PURCELL: Okay. Thank you on
that. And then, Chris, you -- and I am not
trying to pick a battle here, but you said you
thought it was an intense -- not for the water,
but just a higher density or more square footage?
I did 6 .8 million on whatever my
math is, 23 and a half million square feet. Is
that what 5 40 acres is, 23 and a half million, is
it 43 540 per acre? Yeah, so I mean that's -- I
don't know, that doesn't seem real --
ALDERMAN FUNKHOUSER: I 'm just looking
at, you know, the other two data centers that
have brought plans forward and the percentage of
open space that is on those two plans.
This one doesn't have -- If you just
take the square footage, it's not an actual
apples to apples because that's gross square
footage, that's not your actual land square
footage that you are taking up, so that's kind of
a hard number to just take that 6 .7 mil -- or

square footage of the buildings, but it's the
footprint on the site.
MAYOR PURCELL: Okay.
ALDERMAN FUNKHOUSER: I am looking at
impervious to pervious types of uses on the site.
MAYOR PURCELL: Okay. Thank you. Other
Aldermen have questions?
(No response.)
MAYOR PURCELL: I have a couple more.
Do you have a decommissioning plan?
MR. WITT: Not at this time, but we will

at the previous hearing, I know you weren't
necessarily here, maybe you were paying
attention, maybe you weren't , doesn't really
matter, but I asked the same question there.
I just think that as the technology
changes, no different way than the way solar
fields have decommissioning plans, I think it's
important, so I appreciate that.
What do you plan on doing if this is
not built out here in 15 or 20 years?
MR. WITT: If the -- Like if we only
built out part of the --
MAYOR PURCELL: Yeah, let's say you
built out a third of it. A s the technology
changes, you know, all the time.
MR. WITT: So I don't -- So we hear this
a lot, technology changing. I think that the --
what the core value here is the -- is the
existing power infrastructure, which isn't going
to change.
You know, there could be a world, to
your point, that you don't need as many buildings
to utilize the same amount of power, and in that
case, to Chris's question, you would want to say

have just a less dense site, but in our world,
like when we're actually leasing these buildings,
we are doing it kind of on a power perspective,
not necessarily on a building square foot
perspective, so we're getting to kind of similar
economics by utilizing that power, maybe not
utilizing the whole footprint.
MAYOR PURCELL: Okay. But -- go ahead.
MR. WITT: Maybe to answer the question,
another question, we don't have an alternate use
for the site.
MAYOR PURCELL: Okay.
MR. WITT: Yeah.
MAYOR PURCELL: Okay. If you didn't
fill it out in 20 years, would you consider
donating the remainder of the land to the city?
MR. WITT: Yeah, I think if we utilize
all the power and then there is excess -- excess
land, I think that's definitely something we
could look into.
MAYOR PURCELL: Okay. I don't know that
I will be here. You will probably be doing this,
you look pretty young, but I don't know that I
will be here.

MR. WITT: Yeah.
MAYOR PURCELL: But okay. And then I
think maybe Bart has asked this of you, but I
would strongly, strongly encourage that your
first phase be in the Yorkville School District.
I think that would be more favorably
received by myself, I can't speak for the
Aldermen, but definitely by myself and my
community, so just keep that in the back of your
minds , please.
And then any -- maybe you're not
public with this or not, but if this were fully
built out, what kind of dollar value do you put
on this project?
MR. WITT: It's in the billions, and it
depends on what you are measuring. So the users
themselves are probably going to be investing,
you know, it could be upwards of a billion per
building depending on what they are putting in
the building, so --
MAYOR PURCELL: Okay.
MR. WITT: -- it's a sizable number.

we refine this and get closer , we will give you
all some estimates on tax projections, too.
MAYOR PURCELL: Okay. So you don't have
those yet then?
MR. WITT: I don't . No, we don't .
MAYOR PURCELL: Okay. For the property
taxes, and also will you have them for your
projected utility taxes, too?
MR. WITT: Yes.
MAYOR PURCELL: Okay.
MR. WITT: Yeah, we can include that,
yeah.
MAYOR PURCELL: Okay. And when did --
You said three phases. When would you expect
construction to begin on the first phase?
MR. WITT: About two years.
MAYOR PURCELL: About two years from
approval?
MR. WITT: Yeah.
MAYOR PURCELL: And what is it, a
two-year process?
MR. WITT: It's not as much a two-year
process, it's about a two-year lead time to get
the equipment to actually be i nstalling.

Most of the equipment you're going
to install, first of all, the electrical
equipment and getting an interconnection with
ComEd, and so that's going to drive a lot of the
process.
We don't want to -- you don't want
to do any site mass grading and have erosion
issues when you are not going to use it for, you
know, a year or so after, and so you want to make
sure that's lined up with when you're actually
going to land the energization of the on-site
substation and, therefore, the buildings.
MAYOR PURCELL: Okay. And then once you
start the -- So if -- let's say this gets
approved January 1 , if it gets approved, I know
we have some things to discuss still, from then
it's two years before you start construction?
MR. WITT: Before you -- yeah, before
you have trucks out there doing a lot of mass
grading, yeah.
MAYOR PURCELL: And then from the point
you start construction, approximately how long
until one of these facilities would be open?

MAYOR PURCELL: Okay. So four years
out, something like that?
MR. WITT: Yeah. Yeah.
MAYOR PURCELL: Okay. And this was
asked at the last meeting, and I don't understand
the rules with the state, but one of the members
I think on Zoom asked do you work with organized
labor on this and the unions, do you get some
type of agreement with them?
MR. WITT: It's a good question. I
don't know the answer to that. I can get that
for you.
MAYOR PURCELL: Okay. Because I have
been asked that several times. We've got some
good union people in the area --
MR. WITT: Yeah.
MAYOR PURCELL: -- a lot right here in
the community --
MR. WITT: Yeah.
MAYOR PURCELL: They're -- some of them

MR. WITT: So all of our work -- To my
knowledge, all of our work existing in the
greater Chicago area has had union labor on the
projects, so --
MAYOR PURCELL: Okay. That's -- That's
fantastic.
MR. WITT: But I will get that answer
for you. I don't know.
MAYOR PURCELL: No, I appreciate it. I
just -- These are things I hear from the public
and I ask.
And then the other thing that is
important to me and I guess, therefore, the city
as well, we have a real challenge with our school
system, and it's a positive thing, our schools
are growing because the community is growing, and
I would rather be growing than dying like
Chicago, for example, but with growth comes the
need for future buildings and expansions , so I
would like you to consider having a negotiation
with the school district, and we would like to be
involved with those conversations and have you

write an upfront check to the school district to
help pay for their building expansions.
MR. WITT: Okay. Understood.
MAYOR PURCELL: So it's very important
to me. I cannot express that enough.
I have been here my whole life, I 've
seen this before, where the town grows and there
is need for schools, and I want the school system
to be able to get it right, and I think this is
an opportunity for you. You talk about how you
give back to the community, this is a great
opportunity.
MR. WITT: Yeah.
MAYOR PURCELL: So, Aldermen, any
Aldermen have other questions?

MAYOR PURCELL: Okay. How about -- Oh,
Mr. Koch.
ALDERMAN KOCH: Just one more. So the
process, once it's a pproved from us, what do you
factor for getting the agreement with ComEd?
MR. WITT: Yeah, good question. We are
in -- ComEd is doing cluster studies now to
organize some of their approval process. We are
in the third cluster with them. We have been in
that cluster for the better part of like three,
four months now.
We expect an initial feedback from
them at the -- in the fall, so October-ish
timeline, and they are going to give us more
directive at that time as to what's -- what the
next milestone timeline is going to be.
ALDERMAN KOCH: So for my education
then, is each data center project like on its own
or are they all in that same kind of cluster?
MR. WITT: The way they're doing it is
they are doing -- they are grouping them by
clusters of area, because they are looking at
grade improvements for how they impact each

other, because it doesn't make a whole lot of
sense to look at one when one is happening right
next door and you are not reviewing that in your
grade improvement, so they are clustering them
together and looking at all those and how they
impact the grid and what the cost is going to be
per project to get them up and running.
ALDERMAN KOCH: Thank you.

Aldermen?

MR. OVERFRANK: Chuck Overfrank
(phonetic), I 'm a resident of Yorkville. I was
curious, in one of the pictures, it looks like
you might have a battery storage system; is that
correct?
MR. WITT: I can answer that. No
battery storage system. What you might have seen
is a contained generator unit, looks kind of like
a battery from a far, but it's actually a
contained -- enclosure around a generator.
MR. OVERFRANK: There is a series of --
MR. WITT: Yep, there is a series of
those generators running alongside the building,
yeah. No batteries.
ALDERMEN KOCH: Couple more.
MAYOR PURCELL: Go ahead.
ALDERMAN KOCH: So to follow up on that,
so as technology gets better, if the battery
systems would become, you know, a good thing to
have, would you guys be able to add them to
these, or is once your project is built, it's not
really possible?
MR. WITT: You mean for the backup
generation?

ALDERMAN KOCH: Yeah, if you want to put
some sort of battery system in.
MR. WITT: Yeah, you could. You could
easily switch out those generators. I mean, the
area they sit in, you could easily take out those
bays for a battery unit.
The battery technology is pretty far
off from what they would need for a long-term
viability of generation at this point. I mean,
those generators will last you about three days;
if you have a battery the same size it will last
you about an hour, so I mean, it's a pretty big
gap right now.
ALDERMAN KOCH: No, I knew that --
MR. WITT: Yeah.
ALDERMAN KOCH: -- I 'm just wondering,
because going forward I think you might see --
MR. WITT: Hopefully.
ALDERMAN KOCH: -- a lot of research and
development into that.
MR. WITT: Yeah.
ALDERMAN SOLING: One more at the end of
that, are those diesel generators or are they
natural gas?

MAYOR PURCELL: So I have a couple more.
Oh. Step forward, please, to the microphone,
and, again, just state your name and ask the
question.
WALT STAGNER,
testified before the City Council as follows:
MR. STAGNER: My name is Walt Stagner.
I live here in Yorkville. I 've got a couple
questions.
Will these buildings, the data
centers, be isolated somehow from the power grid?
How does the power grid that these buildings use
interface to everything else? And what happens
if the grid goes down, do these buildings go
down, too, or are you on a separate power
situation?
MR. WITT: Good question. So the
buildings are connected to the grid and then the
diesel generators that we were discussing a
minute ago would be what would come in place if
the grid goes down.

MR. STAGNER: And how long -- okay. So
I guess that was sort of asked before. So it
would run either until you run out of fuel, is
that how that works?
MR. WITT: Ideally the grid would come
on before that, but you would then have a
refueling event if it wasn't coming on within a
three-day period.
MR. STAGNER: And maybe I missed
something, but does the City get to know who the
people are that are renting the space?
MR. WITT: Yes, they will. Yes.
MR. STAGNER: Because I 've interfaced
with some of the people that have done the data
centers in DeKalb, and I 'm not sure that that's
common knowledge among the people that live
there, who is actually occupying the data
centers, for example, besides Facebook.
MR. WITT: You mean who is --
MR. STAGNER: Who the tenants are that
actually have the equipment inside the data
centers.
MR. WITT: Yes, the City will know who
that is.

We get a lot of trucks down High
Ridge through Kylyn's Ridge, also not suitable
for truck traffic, but we see a lot of it, and we
are wondering how much will the traffic increase,
what will be the nature of the traffic, and what
should we expect in terms of when these might be
built out.
MR. WITT: Yeah.
MAYOR PURCELL: So just a couple of
things. First of all, the Council recently
passed restrictions on truck traffic, I think it
was last meeting, was it, or two meetings ago?
MR. DHUSE: Yes.
MAYOR PURCELL: For some of those roads
you mentioned. The second thing is he can
address traffic issues related to the Project
Steel.
Those other issues, if they're not
related directly to this project, this is a
public hearing for that project, but we have
addressed -- to answer your question, we have
passed just very recently restrictions on truck
traffic through the subdivision.
MR. ROSE: And there was also a question

about staffing and how many employees would be
using those roads as well.
MR. WITT: Yep. Yes. So good
questions. We will work with the City on what we
describe -- and might have a different name, but
we described it as a construction routing plan
intentionally around that to make sure that the
construction routing for the site makes sense for
the surrounding community and wherever we are
bringing in trucks. That's -- the construction
routing is really where any traffic happens.
The positive of these buildings are
that they are large revenue for the City with
very little impact on services to the community,
especially, you know, revenue for the school
district without any kids going into the schools,
and then, again, improvements of off-site without
very little traffic around.
I mean, you have -- at any one point
you might have only a hundred employees when this
is fully built out on the site, so very minimal,
minimal employee traffic.
ALDERMAN KOCH: And how --
MAYOR PURCELL: Just one thing to follow

up on that. For this one specific, and I can say
for others, if and when they get approved, some
of these haven't been approved yet, just zoning
has, we would not have construction traffic going
through any subdivision.
I know that's come up before. We
would not have construction traffic going through
a subdivision, just absolutely not going to
happen, so --
MR. WITT: Yeah, we wouldn't want that
either, just to put that out there.
ALDERMAN KOCH: So would you say like a
hundred people for the whole build-out, so
roughly what would that be per building, because
I 'm assuming you have a crew 24/7 , right, because
these don't shut down?
MR. WITT: Yeah, so at any -- at any one
time you could have as low as a hundred
employees, so you have probably your I would say
medium to high number would be about ten
employees per building with three shifts, so you
could say 30 employees per building running 24/7 ,
so if you multiply that by our 18 buildings right
now, it's , yeah, 5 40 employees.

MAYOR PURCELL: One per acre?
MR. WITT: Yeah, exactly.
MAYOR PURCELL: So just curious, Krysti,
three and a half homes per acre, that's R -2
about, 3 .64 or something like that?
MS. NOBLE: Yes, 3 .64.
MAYOR PURCELL: Okay. God, it's amazing
what I learn. I 'll forget it, though. So let's
say three and a half and two cars. Holy cow, you
could have seven cars per acre versus one.
MR. WITT: Yeah.
MAYOR PURCELL: So really the traffic --
the concern about traffic is -- I think it is way
overblown. I agree, during construction we don't
want traffic going through the subdivisions,
understand that, but as far as just employees and
traffic, that's really not a real concern.
MR. WITT: Yeah.
MAYOR PURCELL: Ken, did that answer
your question?
ALDERMAN KOCH: Yes.
MAYOR PURCELL: Okay. So 30 employees
per building. Interesting. This is once they
are completed?

MR. WITT: Yeah, once they are
completed, and that's three shifts, so ten per
shift.
MAYOR PURCELL: Yeah, so at any one time
it's -- okay. Heck, you have probably more --
more delivery trucks going down your street in a
day than that. Heck, probably my house honestly.
Okay. So I just want you to
understand our position. We are not going to
allow, you know -- if and when these many new
things become fashionable, not here in Yorkville,
just not going to happen, so if you've got any
grand plans of that, wipe them out right now,
okay?
MR. WITT: We do not. Appreciate that,
yeah.
MAYOR PURCELL: I appreciate that, too.
And the other thing, I hear about this, is with
data centers come higher demand for electric,
hence, supply and demand, the electric rates go
up.
So I am curious, if we were to tell
you all we don't want you because we don't want
electric rates to go up, I assume some of these

would be built somewhere else, or is Yorkville
the only town that people are looking because we
are so awesome?
MR. WITT: No, yeah.
MAYOR PURCELL: No, we're not awesome?
Come on now.
MR. WITT: Well, you are -- you are
awesome. There is two parts to that. One is so
we are working with ComEd, a lot of what they are
doing and studying is figuring out what our cost
to the system is going to be, so we have to pay
that cost upfront, as an upfront payment to them,
for them to commit to then do those improvements
for the grid.
Then there is a second part of that,
which is that this area, ComEd, is a part of a
larger utility network, and to your point, any
data center going anywhere in that utility
network is buying wholesale from that network's
pricing and, therefore, moving prices up and
down.
It's not binary, this area is
getting a data center and, therefore, you know,
the immediate radius has a rate increase, it's a

part of that whole network.
MAYOR PURCELL: So eventually, whether
it's a year or five, ten years, there is going to
be more demand for electricity, unless these
things become super efficient and they run on a
nine volt battery, maybe they could someday, but
as demand goes up, it's going to affect the whole
region whether or not these are in Yorkville, is
that what I 'm hearing you say?
MR. WITT: That's correct, yeah.
MAYOR PURCELL: Okay. No, that's
important because I get that a lot, people say,
oh, your rates are going to go way up, it's all
because the city is evil people, and I 'm not
going to say I 'm a not bad person, but I don't
think I 'm going to make the electric rates go up
by myself, so okay.
Other questions or comments from the
Council?
(No response.)
MAYOR PURCELL: Anyone else in the
public? I don't want to miss somebody raising
their hand last minute here.
