Sam Stroup Deputy Chief Garrett Carlyle Officer Kyle Davis Others in Attendance: None Citizen Comments: None The meeting was called to order at 6:00pm by Chairman Chris Funkhouser. Chairman Funkhouser asked to move items #3 and #4 to the top of the agenda. New Business: (Out of sequence) 3. PS 2025-12 Truck Enforcement Program - Discussion Chief Jensen said Officer Davis approached him about starting a truck enforcement program. The city had a program years ago and it dissolved in 2009. It requires special training and Officer Davis would like to start it up again. Officer Davis said he has been with the department for 12 years and has a strong mechanical background. He said truck enforcement involves many aspects such as looking under the trucks, at the equipment and tires and more. He has taken a class about trucks, nomenclature, scales, weight restrictions on axles or tandems, etc. He added that he has made 50 stops for trucks with no tarps which are required as of January 1st for trucks hauling any type of soil, aggregate, etc. and has written many warnings to educate the drivers. Deputy Chief Carlyle said “chatter” among the drivers has resulted in them putting tarps on their loads to be in compliance. Officer Davis would like to purchase portable scales but the new price is about $25,000. He found unused scales at the Channahon PD who gave them to Yorkville. He said he would like to work on budgeting for 2-4 more scales. Officer Davis said they have a contract with Lenny's Gas n Wash in Plano and can take overweight trucks there. He cited some examples of the stops that have been made. His goal is safety, education and compliance. Officer Davis has focused on Corneils Rd. after complaints were received. Chief Jensen said truckers don't want to pay for truck Google which gives truck routes since there is a cost. Alderman Hyett asked if signs could be posted stating no trucks through town similar to what Plainfield did. Chief Jensen said since it is unlikely since it is a state route, though a petition Page 2 of 3 could be presented to IDOT. In terms of wear and tear, Alderman Funkhouser said one truck through town equals 9,000 cars. Officer Davis was thanked for taking the initiative for this matter. Chief Jensen said they are working with city staff to see if truck fines can be put into a truck fund to purchase equipment for this endeavor. Old Business: (out of sequence) An update of the downtown traffic and speeds was provided. Chief Jensen summarized the actions taken so far and said info regarding this operation is posted on Facebook. The Chief posed the question as to what the acceptable percentage of violators is in the downtown area, since 100% compliance would be difficult to reach. Sgt. Stroup gave the third follow-up. He said they placed automatic speed monitors in the downtown area for a month without enforcement. He reported the number of cars going both south and northbound and their speeds. He said the goal is to have only 5% of the cars with speed violations. He said stats were broken down hour by hour in an effort to make officer time there more efficient. They also discussed flexing some hours to have officers present during high speed times. Deputy Chief Carlyle added that speeds are up in the morning and afternoon. Chief Jensen said the department goal this year is to identify and solve problems and this traffic enforcement is part of that goal. He said each officer has their own tolerance level as to when they might stop a vehicle for speeding. Aldermen said they receive favorable calls from citizens about the enforcement in the downtown and the community supports the actions. For the next steps, Sgt. Stroup will analyze the data hour by hour and make the efforts more efficient. It will be IDOT's decision about moving the 30mph speed sign downtown which could assist in the speed enforcement. This will be brought back in November for further evaluation. (back to regular agenda order) Minutes for Correction/Approval: March 6, 2025 and April 10, 2025--Special Both sets of minutes were approved. New Business: 1. PS 2025-10 Monthly Report Review for February – May 2025 February: Chief Jensen reported on overtime hours, staffing, initiatives including the blood drive, Throwback Thursdays includes photos of years ago, several scams using AI, donations received, donations of pizza, training, crashes, directed patrols, citations and Nybers data. Alderman Soling asked if written warnings are recorded. They are recorded, therefore future stops would reflect the original stop. March: The Chief reported on overtime, scam alerts, Facebook posts, donations, crashes, downtown details, citations and warnings. April: There was a major case that resulted in a large amount of overtime. A new officer was hired after a record number of applicants. Also reported was training, crashes and citations. May: The Chief reported overtime, training, crashes, directed patrols, increased citations, fewer criminal cases, missing juvenile and call volume. Chief Jensen also noted the staff has a daily requirement of 3 traffic contacts per day. Page 3 of 3 2. PS 2025-11 Adjudication Reports for March – June 2025 Chief Jensen said the reports reflect several vehicle impounds and expired registrations. In addition, there were cases for illegal possession of cannabis and tobacco, illegal parking, commercial parking violations, dog incident, disorderly conduct, theft and operating non-highway vehicle on city roadway. The committee also discussed work trucks parking on city streets. (#3 discussed earlier) 4. PS 2025-13 Illinois Enforcement Accreditation Program (ILEAP) Update – Discussion Chief Jensen said the department has received accreditation from the Illinois Chiefs Association. He said they could get national accreditation, however, it would cost about $10,000 yearly and require a full-time staff person. Illinois accreditation is highly recognized and a representative from the state will present an award at the July 22nd City Council meeting. In order to earn this achievement, 200 standards had to be complied with and all policies were reviewed. Yorkville and Oswego are the only agencies in Kendall County that have earned accreditation, and Oswego's is national. Additional Business: Alderman Hyett inquired about the patrol boundaries on Cannonball Trail. Yorkville has jurisdiction to approximately the cemetery and then again at Cannonball Trail and Bristol Ridge. Mr. Hyett said a couple residents who have hidden driveways in this area, asked if flashing arrows could be placed on the curve and/or “hidden driveway” signs be installed. Nearby trees also block the view. It is believed that the specific area in question is a county road. Chief Jensen said he could also do a speed study in this area. The county highway department will be contacted. The committee also briefly discussed a new proposed entrance for Wrigley near this area. Alderman Soling said he has been receiving calls from Heartland Circle about kids and their scooters. Chief Jensen shared an email he sent to a resident on this date who had a similar complaint. He said Illinois law is unclear about the scooters and mini bikes (referred to as non- highway vehicles). Chief replied to the resident, saying there are 3 categories of these vehicles and all are governed by a different set of rules. The Chief detailed the various rules to the resident. Alderman Funkhouser said there is a lack of courtesy and yielding the right-of-way with these vehicles. Chief Jensen said they tried to be proactive this spring and went to HOA's to ask for their help due to all the complaints received. However, due to a lack of involvement by the residents, the offenders could not be identified. A drone has also been used to catch offenders. There was no further business and the meeting was adjourned at 7:36pm. Respectfully submitted by Marlys Young, Minute Taker Have a question or comment about this agenda item?

These concerns were established through both citizen concerns and areas of concern for the department. All citizen concerns were tracked for potential issues. In some cases to verify that the concerns needed to be further addressed, (5) five years of crash data was researched. In addition, these locations were further researched by utilizing the department’s speed signs. These speed signs were able to collect traffic data related to traffic counts, speed data, and various times of day of violations. In addition, the department also relied upon its partnership with EEI.

This position would provide specialized expertise and support beyond traditional law enforcement, ensuring more effective, compassionate, and comprehensive service to the community.

James Jensen Chief of Police Name Department Summary This memorandum proposes the addition of a Shared Service Social Worker position between the Kendall County Sheriff’s Office and the Yorkville Police Department to enhance our ability to respond to mental health-related calls, crisis situations, and complex social service needs. This position would provide specialized expertise and support beyond traditional law enforcement, ensuring more effective, compassionate, and comprehensive service to the community. Shared Service Partnership with Kendall County Sheriff’s Office This position is proposed as a shared service between the Yorkville Police Department and the Kendall County Sheriff’s Office. The Social Worker would be an employee of the United City of Yorkville and assigned to support both agencies. Yorkville would administer all employment-related matters, including salary and benefits, and would invoice the Kendall County Sheriff’s Office on a quarterly basis for reimbursement of its portion of the costs. The anticipated shared cost is approximately $65,000 per agency, which would fully cover salary and insurance expenses. This structure allows both agencies to expand access to professional social work services in a fiscally responsible manner while maximizing regional collaboration and service continuity. Background Over recent years, the department has experienced a steady increase in calls involving mental health crises, substance abuse, homelessness, domestic conflict, and juvenile/family-related issues. These situations often require significant time, coordination, and follow-up—areas where a trained social worker can provide essential expertise and long-term support. This position is not intended as a co-responder role; emergent calls will continue to be handled by the Association for Individual Development (AID) and their Mobile Crisis Response Team. Instead, the department’s social worker would focus on post-incident follow-up, case management, and coordination of ongoing services for individuals and families. In 2024, the department completed its second year partnering with a part-time social worker, which allowed us to provide residents with tailored resources beyond traditional police services. In the first six months, the social worker managed 27 cases, served 38 clients directly, and completed 54 follow-ups. These cases included mental health crises, suicidal behavior, domestic violence, elder assistance, veterans support, homelessness, substance abuse, and crime victim advocacy. Since the program’s inception, 184 clients have been assisted across 125 cases, demonstrating both the scope of need and the program’s effectiveness in providing targeted, compassionate intervention. High-priority incidents, particularly mental health crises, require ongoing follow-up. Current part-time resources must prioritize these calls, leaving other critical community needs unaddressed. Between 2021 and early 2025, the department responded to over 1,600 domestic violence incidents and nearly 200 juvenile runaway reports—most without professional social work support. This shared service position would expand the department’s capacity to respond to complex cases, reduce repeat calls, and provide continuity of care. Timely intervention and ongoing case management Memorandum To: Public Safety Committee From: James Jensen, Police Chief CC: Date: January 8, 2026 Subject: Police Social Worker - Discussion would strengthen public safety, improve officer efficiency, and generate long-term cost savings through prevention and community stabilization. Currently, officers handle many of these situations despite limited social service training, even with Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) certification and de-escalation skills. A dedicated social worker would provide specialized expertise, allowing officers to focus on law enforcement while ensuring sustainable, community-centered outcomes. Investing in this position represents a practical, fiscally responsible approach to enhancing public safety, improving community well-being, and addressing growing social and mental health demands. Proposed Role and Responsibilities The Social Worker position within the Yorkville Police Department would:  Coordinate referrals to community mental health providers, housing resources, substance abuse programs, and family support agencies, leveraging partnerships with the Kendall County Health Department and AID.  Assist officers in handling sensitive cases involving juveniles, domestic disputes, or at-risk individuals.  Reduce repeat calls for service by connecting individuals to ongoing support and mental health services.  Improve officer wellness by alleviating the emotional and operational burden associated with repeated crisis situations.  Enhance community trust and outreach, aligning with the department’s core values of service, compassion, and collaboration. Adding a Social Worker marks a significant step forward in Yorkville’s commitment to proactive, compassionate public safety. As calls for service become increasingly complex, having a trained social services professional on staff ensures our response extends beyond enforcement to include lasting support, problem-solving, and care for the individuals and families we serve. This position strengthens community outcomes, supports our officers, and represents a sustainable, cost-effective investment in the well-being of Yorkville residents.

James Jensen Chief of Police Name Department Summary Due to recent changes in Illinois law regarding School Resource Officers (SROs), a modification to the existing Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) between Yorkville Community School District 115 and the United City of Yorkville is being recommended. Background Recent amendments to Illinois statutes governing School Resource Officers necessitate a minor revision to the currently approved Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) between the United City of Yorkville and Yorkville Community School District 115. While the statutory change does not take effect until July 1, 2026, we are recommending that discussions begin now, and that the corresponding amendment be implemented as soon as practicable. I have met with School District Superintendent Matt Zediker and shared the proposed amendment (Exhibit A), which has already been reviewed and approved by the City Attorney. The proposed change will also undergo review by School District administration and the District’s legal counsel prior to being brought forward for City Council consideration. The intent of this discussion is to ensure awareness and alignment regarding an upcoming change to the agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises, covenants, terms, and conditions set forth in this Agreement, District 115 and the City hereby agree as follows: 11-6-24 clean SRO IGA--CUSD 115 AND CITY OF YORKVILLE 2 1295922.2 1. School Resource Officer Program: District 115 and the United City of Yorkville hereby create a School Resource Officer Program (the “Program”) to facilitate a positive collaborative relationship between local law enforcement, school administration, educators, service agencies, community-based organizations, parents and students residing with the District 15 community. Additional requirements for the School Resource Officer program pursuant to this Agreement are set forth in the attached Exhibit A. The goal of the Program is to maintain a safe, secure environment, free of violence and fear, which will allow the educational process to occur in a natural uninhibited manner. The Program shall direct increased and focused attention to the prevention of juvenile crime through the positive, proactive involvement of law enforcement personnel, specially trained to work with high school and middle school students and school personnel with respect to the prevention of substance abuse, gang activity, violence and other forms of socially unacceptable behavior that threaten a positive educational environment. The City shall provide one School Resource Officer (SRO) for the District who will primarily be stationed at the Yorkville High School. It is understood that the SRO can float between all District schools located within the City of Yorkville depending on the need as determined by the School Resource Officer. 2.

Overtime for the SRO is defined as any hour worked beyond the normal eight-hour school day. Overtime for additional officers is defined as any hour worked at the request of the school district for special events (i.e. football games, dances, etc.). The Department will make every effort to assign the SRO to the requested Overtime event(s), however, if the SRO is not available a patrol officer may be assigned to fulfill the request with the approval of the District. The number of officers assigned to district special events will be determined and agreed upon by both the District and the City. The City shall cover all salary and associated insurance, workers compensation, pension, FICA, and Medicare costs. On a monthly basis the City will submit a written invoice to the School District with an itemized statement showing the detail description, date and time of the detail and the assigned officer’s name. The District agrees to compensate the City at the then current assigned SRO/Officer Overtime rate. Professional development and the ability to interact with peers is important for the success of the SRO Program.
