Pavement Management Study
Brad Sanderson from EEI gave a presentation on Pavement Management Study. (See attached)
Alderman Gilson stated this was locked up in the Public Works Committee.The lock was whether or not
the City should spend the money on a $100,000 pavement management study. Two members felt the
money would be better spent on the roads,and two members did not. Alderman Gilson's suggested to
bring it to the Council. City Administrator Olson mentioned the City might be able to find an additional
$100,000.Alderman Gilson's feels all $200,000 should be put into the roads.Alderman Gilson wanted
the City Council to know the history. Alderman Colosimo asked if this type of study had been done
before and it had not. He asked if the $100,000 would come from this year's budget. City Administrator
Olson stated the City has$100,000 of road resurfacing money budgeted for fiscal year 13. If the City
decided to go forward,City Administrator Olson would try to find a way to move expenses around in
different fiscal years, so the City could start earlier.The minute the City gets sales tax dollars and there is
money for road resurfacing,the City can allocate that money as soon as it is received. Alderman Teeling
thinks the City should not be doing this study for it would be a waste of money. Alderman Kot supported
this,and feels it is a good tool for managing the City's limited funds. He believes it will serve as a
blueprint of what the City should do in the future, and in the long run it will pay for itself. Alderman
Milschewski was hoping that with the study,the City would see how to get the most for its money.
Alderman Spears said this would be a cost savings tool; however the funds are not available.Alderman
Colosimo asked after the City did the study,would the City have to redo the study at full cost down the
road. EEI Engineer Sanderson stated the recommendation is to update every five years. Software would
have been purchased, so the City would not pay for that twice.There would definitely be some cost
savings associated doing it the second time. Alderman Colosimo asked what percentage of the$100,000
is software. EEI Engineer Sanderson stated about 15%. Public Works Director Dhuse stated it is not a
large percent and the City would not have to redo all the roads. This plan takes the politics out of it. It
shows the City how to best spend its money. Public Works Director Dhuse stated this is a great tool not
only for short term but for long-term planning. If the City spends $250,000 a year the roads are still going
to deteriorate.This will show the City how much they need to budget just to keep the roads maintained at
the level they were that day. If the City Council wants to get the roads to a higher level it will show how
to do that in the long term, intermediate,or short-term. It also gives the City a great tool to say that the
The Minutes of the Regular Meeting of the City Council—October 25, 2011 —Page 2 of 8
City has done its research,knows what direction it wants to go, and what the City needs to do. Mayor
Golinski stated many of the City subdivisions were built at the same time and will need to be resurfaced
at the same time.
Alderman Gilson stated the Council agrees it is a good tool.The issue is the City is taking$100,000 out
of the budget that it could be spending on repairing the roads. Even if the City came up with the extra
$100,000 dollars,that$200,000 is still very easily spent on resurfacing roads. Mayor Golinski stated the
$100,000 does not get much in repairs. Whether the City does it this year or next, it is a good thing to
look at but by not doing it he thinks the Council is being penny wise and dollar foolish. This will dictate
the best way to spend the City's money in the future. Alderman Funkhouser thinks it is a good tool and a
good mechanism to use to plan. If the City can't do the intended repairs for several years, at least it give
Yorkville the climate so the City can target what it needs to budget for. He believes the City should
consider it.Alderman Gilson doesn't think it will be hashed out in committee. In order to bring it to the
Council, several of the Council members have to get together. Alderman Colosimo's recommendation is
that the four of us agree to bring it to the next City Council meeting. Then the Council has time to mull it
over, discuss it,think about it,talk to our constituents,and vote. Alderman Teeling asked if the City has a
procedure for Alderman bringing an item to Council. City Administrator Olson said state law would
dictate three. Alderman Colosimo would move that the City bring it to the next City Council meeting.
Seconded by Alderman Kot. City Attorney On stated the Council does not need a third, for the Mayor has
the right to put anything on the agenda, so Alderman Colosimo's motion and the second is a direction.
Mayor Golinski stated the Council will bring it up in two weeks.
PUBLIC HEARINGS
None.
CITIZEN COMMENTS
Dan Nicholson,Logging& Lumber,W Van Emmon Street, is a business owner and has been in Yorkville
for 25 years. He stated Mayor Golinski is a bully of the first order and sent his goons to Mr.Nicholson's
business in an effort to harass and intimidate him into selling his property. This will never happen. Mayor
Golinski is also a coward, for he sends his proxies to do his dirty work and has refused to meet with him
privately. Mr. Nicholson's business supports not only himself, his three daughters,his 89-year-old
mother,his two nieces, nephew, and his ex-wife. When Mayor Golinski attacks my business, he is also
attacking his family. He would like for the City Council to think about how they would respond if
someone attacked their family. Mr.Nicholson stated to City Attorney Orr,that he is about to make her a
very busy and wealthy woman. He suggests the City quit quibbling about$100,000 for a program, and
add it to the budget for him.
Lisa Peterson, 1001 Adrian Street,had a couple of thoughts on the Road Study Program. As a taxpayer,
she expects certain city services such as decent roads to drive on,police protection and fire protection.
She doesn't expect a rec center. The city spends over$100,000 a year on Hometown Days event. The City
Council was trying to get a referendum for the citizens to approve a$1 million bond for the installation of
bike trails. She does not consider that a necessity. It bothers her that when the City had an engineering
department they never did a road study to see which roads were in need of repair and how to budget for
those repairs. Game Farm Road is on the list to get repaved,which is needs it, but there are roads in this
town that are even in worse shape. If it is possible, maybe the City could be divided into quadrants and do
a fourth of the study.That way the City would be spending$25,000 and have another$75,000 to use for
patching. She thinks that$100,000 spent on this study would be a much better thing for long-term
planning for now and down the road. As it was pointed out, it takes the politics out of it.
Amy Cesich, Raintree Village,discussed the bike trails. She wanted the City Council to vote in favor of
the Route 71 IDOT proposal. It is a cost to the residents of$42,000 for IDOT is picking up 80%of the
cost,which is roughly$210,000.This is a vital link in the trail for our residents. She would like for the
City Council to consider that taking out a small portion from 47 to 126 would be silly considering that
there are trails leading to the forest preserves on either side. It's a small cost relatively speaking, and she
believes it is very important for our residents in the surrounding subdivisions.
Ben Niles,presented a letter to recognize excellence of Shay Rosborough. (See attached letter.)

REPORTS
PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE REPORT
Route 71 —IDOT Letter of Understanding
(CC 2011-120)
A motion was made by Alderman Gilson to approve a letter of understanding between IDOT and the
United City of Yorkville; seconded by Alderman Kot.
Alderman Gilson wanted to know why this item was not brought back to committee to discuss the
changes before it came back out to the City Council. City Administrator Olson stated the letter was dated
October 4,2011 and it didn't actually get brought to his attention until after the public works agenda had
already been out. Alderman Kot wanted to know if this letter of understanding is with or without the
trails. City Administrator Olson stated everything is including. Alderman Gilson read a statement from
the July 12, 2011 City Council meeting minutes on page 6 of 9, starting in the middle of the last
paragraph through almost the end of the first full paragraph of page 7. After reading that section,he does
not believe the City Council has drawn any closer to answering those questions. The City still does not
know what is going to happen in 2017, and has not projected those findings out to 2017. Some Council
members don't believe this should be a priority at this time. The City got in trouble the first time by
saying yes to these trails in a letter of understanding,and got charged back for saying yes ahead of time.
He thinks by saying yes to this again the city could possibly be looking at the same predicament. He is not
willing to vote yes. Mayor Golinski told Alderman Gilson he should read the next sentence which states,
there will always be a little risk to get a project completed that is 5 to 10 years down the road otherwise
The NIinutes of the Regular Meeting of the City Council—October 25, 2011 — Page 4 of 8
the roads will never get widened. Mayor Golinski stated the City has to take a little risk sometimes.
Alderman Colosimo stated the City will always be in this predicament to try to forecast five years out for
any road development project, for this is how IDOT works. The difference he sees between the Route 71
and Route 47 bike paths is that the Route 71 bike path does not have any bells or whistles. It is just an 8
foot bike path. There are not extras the City can remove so the cost is less.The Route 47 bike path is
$42,000, and he is going to vote yes. He believes it would be inconvenient for the entire biking
community to have that small section of bike path cut out from the County coming in from both
directions. Alderman Kot voted for this the first time.The City actually had residents coming forward
saying they want this.He believes this is more than just a recreational issue. It is a means for people to get
from a subdivision to businesses along 47 and 71. He looks at it as a safety issue,also. It is far enough off
in the future for the City to use this as a budgeting tool so the City can plan ahead. He is going to continue
to support this.
Alderman Gilson stated the City Council discussed the first trail system in detail. The City said this is the
upfront costs but someone is going to pay to maintain and repair the City's maintenance fees, also the
City voted this through for the City didn't want to see IDOT held up. The City wanted to see Route 47
widened for it was important. In this case, it doesn't have to happen that way. The City can still go
forward, still have Route 47 widened and improved,and have this project go forward with a letter of
understanding without the trails. If the City comes back and there is funding for those trails later,then the
City looks at it.The City is being inconsistent with its messages and he is going to stay consistent with
his. Alderman Kot said the City can't do that for the state will change the easement if the City says it does
not want the trails. Yorkville can't switch back and forth. City Administrator Olson stated that is correct.
Alderman Gilson asked what does that mean. City Administrator Olson stated the state will acquire and
plan to acquire less property, and design a different roadway cross-section if the City says no and tries to
add it back in.That was one of the issues the City talked about at the Route 47 project for the state had
already acquired the easements and engineered it. When the City adds that back in, since they had not
planned for that,the City has to pay for the acquisition and the completely new engineering. There's some
inefficiency as a result of that decision to say no first and then yes later.
Alderman Teeling is voting in favor of this. She is happy that many members of the City Council are
thinking about this,and glad that people actually see what this can bring to Yorkville's community.
Alderman Funkhouser likes the trails. If the Council votes in favor of this, engineering begins. If at some
point the City realizes it can't afford it then the City can eliminate easier than trying to come back and add
later. They have cost in here of up to $14,400 if the City removes parts of the plan as they are itemized in
the packet.This time the City actually knows an upfront cost of what Yorkville's fees could be. At this
point, he doesn't know if the City has much recourse other than to go forward. If the City wants the trails,
move forward,plan, and try to budget for them and if the City can't then the City will eat the cost. He
would be surprised if the City eliminates the trails it's going to cost a full $14,000,because that was based
on the entire project cost of$110,000. Alderman Gilson stated the City is talking about road pavement,
repair and replacement of roads five years out. All this money adds up and the City could be in the same
predicament that it is now. Once again the City is not prioritizing.The more the City keeps saying it is far
away and the money will be found,the more the City will be in a predicament where the City cannot find
the money. If that is the case,then the City will be short the essential services that the City should be
providing the residents. Alderman Colosimo stated the difference between this and the Route 47 project is
that if the City is in agreement and there are enough votes to allow this $42,000 expenditure to connect
these two bike trails to finish off that section,the City is not pushing it off.The City will have it listed as
something that it is going to budget for accordingly to make sure the money is available.The City thinks
it is a vital project and thinks it is important to the residents, important for public safety, and important for
the continuation of our bike trail. It is also a budgeting mechanism. Alderman Gilson stated it sounds
good but the problem is the City can budget for everything and if the money is not there, it is not there.
Then if the City still has roads that need repair and other essential services that need to be handled then
the City may not have that money to spend on what is needed. This is not an item of priority.
Alderman Spears asked if the City knew for sure that Kendall County Forest Preserve sent a letter of
understanding. If so, did they make a cash flow commitment and signed it. Mayor Golinski stated IDOT
indicated in their e-mail that they did commit but he does not know if they actually signed a letter of
understanding.Director of Park and Recreation Schraw stated they did not,because the forest preserve
actually went above and just sent them a letter of commitment to IDOT right away saying the progress
went through and we are committed to funding it. IDOT never had to send a letter of understanding.
Director of Park and Recreation Schraw stated Kendall County Forest preserve is doing the entire trail for
the County. The County is not doing the trail. City Administrator Olson stated the way he reads that is
given Yorkville's past history with Route 47,they actually solicited a letter and sent it to us as opposed to
Kendall County just issuing an e-mail. Director of Park and Recreation Schraw stated she has a letter of
commitment from the forest preserve that is written to the city of Yorkville stating that they will fund it in
those areas. City Administrator Olson stated that the difference is they would have just sent an e-mail or a
letter unsolicited,not on IDOT's letterhead to them saying we are doing this, it is in our plans,and are
going to fund it in the future. Whereas the City gets a letter from IDOT that the City just needs to sign and
The Minutes of the Regular sleeting of the City Council—October 25, 2011 — Page 5 of 8
ship back to them. That is the reason why. There is not an IDOT letter of commitment, there is a Kendall
County e-mail or letter somewhere floated off to them that says yes, we want to have the trail in.
Mayor Golinski said Kendall County is putting in the 10 foot standard IDOT trails. It will be 10 foot on
both sides of Yorkville and when it comes to Yorkville it shrink to eight-foot. Alderman Spears stated
that is why our taxes will be going up. Alderman Milschewski clarified that this project is estimated to be
started in 2017. The City is planning for six years in advance. City Administrator Olson stated that would
be the safest estimate.Alderman Milschewski asked if the$42,000 figure is at today's prices. City
Administrator Olson stated that is correct. Alderman Milschewski asked how this ties in with Route 47
trails. City Administrator Olson stated it does tie into it. Director of Park and Recreation Schraw stated
the route 47 trail stops about 400 feet short of route 71.Due to the road improvement,they actually have
the trail as part of the 71 project,because the 71 project goes North on 47 about 100 feet.

ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE REPORT
Ordinance 2011-59 Authorizing and Providing for the Issue of$11,150,000 General
Obligation Refunding Bonds(Alternate Revenue Source),Series 2011
(CC 2011-104)
Finance Director Fredrickson stated this is an ordinance authorizing the issuance of the 2011 General
obligation refunding bonds which is the final step in the bond issuance process.The proceeds from this
bond, in the amount of$11,150,000, will be used to refund the 2005D Rob Roy bonds, as well as the
2008 refunding Rob Roy bonds.The bonds have a stated interest rate of 4.28%,and will mature on
December 30,2025. Kevin McCanna is here tonight from Speer Financial,which has served as our
financial advisor.
Mayor Golinski stated let's get a motion and a second first.
A motion was made by Alderman Spears to approve an ordinance authorizing and providing for the issue
of$11,150,000 General Obligation Refunding Bonds(Alternate Revenue Source), Series 2011 of the
United City of Yorkville,Kendall County Illinois for the purpose of refunding the city's General
obligation bonds(alternate revenue source), series 2005D in general obligation refunding bonds(alternate
revenue source), series 2008 describing all the details of said bonds and providing for the collection and
segregation of revenues sufficient to pay such bonds and authorize the Mayor and city clerk to execute;
seconded by Alderman Funkhouser.
Alderman Colosimo wanted to clarify the reasons the City Council is doing this. On the former bonds that
were issue,there is a payment coming up at 3.9 million dollars in one fiscal year,which is an impossible
obligation for the City to meet. The City cannot get $3.9 million on one bond obligation a year.The City
is not taking out this money to spend this money on other projects or issues.The City is in essence
refinancing an enormous debt. He believes that it is the intention of this Council to take the difference in
payments and then safeguard the year and concentrate on our roads. If the City continues with the old
bonds,there is no ability to pay the bonds and no ability to work on these roads. By refinancing the City
can get rid of those payments. Then focus the City's attention on the roads where they need to be. He is
going to vote for it and hopes the Council joins him. Alderman Teeling asked if the City Council does this
refinance on the bonds, how many of these bond payments if the City going to be able to abate,and which
ones are not going to be able to abate. City Administrator Olson the City is anticipating not abating three
bonds,which would be about $730,000, so when adding that tax associated with debt, and with the city
property tax,the City anticipates right now, if that holds true,that the residents total city property taxes
next year will go down 30%. Alderman Teeling said there are still bonds the City is not going to be able
to abate.City Administrator Olson stated the total amount is$730,000 this year and the City is planning
on rolling that downward over the next four years. Alderman Teeling stated that $730,000 would still be
on property taxes. City Administrator Olson stated that is correct. City Administrator Olson said that
decision does not have to be made until January or February. Alderman Teeling asked for the total
amount that the City did not abate last year. City Administrator Olson stated$2.2 million, and said there
was a chart over five years which basically shows, if the City adds up the non-abating debt property taxes
associated with the city property taxes,what it was last year and the reduction of what the City can expect
over the next five years.That is a policy decision for the City Council. Alderman Teeling stated if the
The Minutes of the Regular Meeting of the City Council — October 25, 201 1 — Page 6 of 8
City does refinance and there are bonds that the City does not abate, what happens if the City Council
does not vote to not abate those taxes. Last time when the City voted on this it was a big problem for
anybody to not abate those taxes for the Council didn't want to raise taxes. It seems to her like the Council
is still going to have to not abate some of those bonds. If the theory holds true,Alderman Teeling will vote
to not abate those bonds. She doesn't want to raise taxes, but the City is still going to have to not abate
some of those bonds. City Administrator Olson stated yes,the City is still budgeting each year to not
abate certain property taxes associated with other debts that the City also did not abate last year.That is
where the$730,000 comes in. Alderman Teeling stated if the City refinances then the City Council, when
it comes time to make that decision, if they choose to abate those property taxes are going to be short
$730,000 to pay this debt.City Administrator Olson stated the City Council could choose to not abate.
Alderman Colosimo stated the difference between what happened in the past and what the City is doing
now is uncontrolled spending versus controlled spending. It is not 100% relief but the City's goal in
budgeting is that every year the City is rolling more and more of those back so the City gets back to zero.
The City has a planned structured idea going forward,which the City Council can at least control for the
next 2 to 4 years while on this Council. After that, it will be up to future City Councils. If the City doesn't
do this,then the City is looking at putting 2.2 million back on the taxpayers backs and still don't have
enough money to start making these huge payment.
Alderman Gilson asked what the additional$145,500 in issuance costs are. City Administrator Olson said
it is the administration cost of packaging everything together,doing the bid or the negotiation process,
and the closing.That carries it forward from start to finish. Alderman Gilson asked would the City have
still paid this issuance cost regardless of the downgrade. City Administrator Olson stated that there would
have been some issuance cost. City Attorney On stated that there is also an insurance cost. How much of
the insurance?Kevin McCanna from Speer Financial stated it is$145,000. Alderman Gilson stated that it
is not issuance it is insurance, right. City Attorney On stated that there is cost of issuance,also. Kevin
McCanna from Speer Financial stated that the$145,000 is for a premium for insurance and noninsurance,
which is also a cost of issuance. City Administrator Olson stated it is an item within the issuance cost
itself. The$145,000 is specifically for insurance in case the City faults then the insurance policy will pay
out to the bottom. City Attorney On stated that is the result of the downgrade.The bonds are now
insured,and the fact that the City can still get insurance is to the City's credit. Alderman Gilson knows
that there were charts and graphs to come up with the best way to do this.What impact does that extra
$145,000 have on the payback timeline&on the reduction taxes and overall payments City Administrator
Olson stated it doesn't. It is a small premium on top of the entire principal.The debt service scheduled,
the City originally planned and budgeted for,before downgraded, is still in place. Some numbers had to
be moved around and it became slightly more expensive over 15 or 20 years,but it doesn't change much.
City Attorney On stated the City doesn't look at it that way because the insurance and interest rate would
be higher even if the City could sell the bonds.The analyses Alderman Gilson is asking for is one that the
City generally doesn't do.Alderman Gilson said a chart was giving with a payment of what the City
should expect to see if the City paid it off during these dates or refinances with several options of
different amounts of time. He wants know if that extra$145,500 changes that at all. City attorney On
stated no,the cost of issuance is always included in the amount. Alderman Gilson wanted to know if there
was a penalty for prepayment. City Attorney On stated this is a very unique arrangement. The City has a
bond buyer that is not going to charge a penalty for prepayment but there are other ramifications. If the
City prepays,then it has to prepay a minimum of 2 million.Kevin McCanna from Speer Financial stated
the City has a right to prepay 2 million for the first five or six years and then the City cannot prepay more
than that. After eight years the City can prepay anytime. With a traditional bond prepayment penalty it is
common to prepay but after 8 to 10 years.The$2 million in bonds are subject to prepayment at any time
on or after December 30, 2020.That is in nine years. City Administrator Olson said the City is allowed to
prepay in increments between 500,000 and 2 million once per year for certain years on the actual amount
of debt. City Attorney On stated these are very good terms in case our sales tax doesn't come through.
City Administrator Olson stated correct,that was actually a suggestion from the Bond buyer himself. City
Attorney On stated the terms that this bond buyer offered were positively received as far as the City was
concerned. Alderman Gilson stated he agrees with Alderman Colosimo. In this scenario,the City doesn't
have much of a choice than to refinance. Alderman Spears stated it is going to take an additional burden
off of the residents as far as raising their taxes. If the City refinances,there is going to be $350,000 to
$400,000 per year that the City is attempting to budget for roads and resurfacing. These are two things
that are very important to Yorkville's residents to have our roads fixed. She does not believe the City has
an alternative. Alderman Funkhouser stated this is a great opportunity to provide some tax relief and take
care of some problems the City has. It is good timing and a good option for the City. The relief from taxes
the City is providing is doubtfully not going to be equal to any of the increases that the City is seeing in
any of the other entities such as schools and the fire department.The City is doing our part to help
minimize taxes and help residents. Alderman Teeling thinks that this was the original plan to refinance
but steps had to be been taken to refinance. First,the City had to have a revenue stream to be able to
refinance,which was the 1% sales tax. It came under the former administration and was something that
had to be done.The City has to have a revenue stream in order to refinance. She is not, not in favor of
refinancing this debt, and understands it is a good thing for the City. When this was happening meaning
the City had to not abate the taxes last year,the City Council didn't have an alternative due to needing a

revenue stream. She is in favor of this and thinks it is a good thing,but she just wanted to point out that
there still is going to be some debt that has to not be abated.

Tax Levy Estimate
(ADM 2011-56)
A motion was made by Alderman Spears to approve the Tax Levy Estimate for 2011 to be used for
purposes of conducting a public hearing on Tax Levy in the amount of$3,626,060.00; seconded by
Alderman Colosimo.
City Administrator Olson stated the City does this each year. It is the first step in the taxpayer process.
The City is not going to make the November 8, 2011 Public Hearing timeline, so the Public Hearing will
be conducted on November 22, 2011. Alderman Gilson believes if the City vote's yes,then it is sending
the message out that the City is going to take the maximum allowed.This is sending a message that it is
fine for all the taxing bodies to take their maximum cap. The end result would be increased taxes. He
believes the residents are taxed too much already. He will be voting no on this issue. Alderman Teeling
asked if all the new development that has happened in the City included in this. She assumes that is why
the city is increasing the Levy for it is adding all the new businesses, if not the City won't be able to get
the taxes from those new developments. Am I wrong on this?City Administrator Olson said she was
absolutely correct. Even in a down economy the City is adding new taxable property.

PARK BOARD
Albin and Sons Agreement
(CC 2011-121)
Mayor Golinski entertained a motion to approve a license agreement between the City and Albin Carlson
and Company and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute. So moved by Alderman Milschewski;
seconded by Alderman Kot.
City Administrator Olson said there is a spoils pile behind Geneva Kayak, which has been there even
though the contract with the state for Albin and Sons has expired. This is a simple licensing agreement to
allow them to keep it in place for three months and to the City's benefit some is going to be left to be used
for the City's parking lot.Alderman Colosimo stated so by the end of December the pile will be gone but
the agreement goes to December 2012,by which time the gravel will be laid down for the City's lot and
will be blacktopped at cost. Alderman Spears asked if the City should put something in the license
agreement in regards to storage of construction vehicles and materials.for this project only. City
Administrator Olson believes that could be possible. Even though the agreement has been signed, he can't
see why vehicles should be taken from other projects to store there.

Mr. Golinski, Ms. Schraw and Mr. Evans:
I want to take the time to recognize excellence among your staff. As a member of the Rec
Center and a volunteer soccer coach I have had the opportunity to know Shay Rosborough for
several years. I am continually amazed at her commitment, enthusiasm, and her dedication to
improve every program she is involved with. I believe she is an essential part of what makes
our Parks and Recreation so great.
Every Saturday this fall soccer season is a shining example of how Shay exceeds her job duties
and expectations. She has built positive, successful relationships with parents and their young
athletes, coaches and officials. She has constant interaction with all of the above to help them
become the best player, coach, spectator or official they can be. She has been a tremendous
resource, coach, and manager to all of us.
While at the office in the Rec Center Shay is always cheerful and polite. I've often seen her stop
what she was doing to assist another staff member or to provide excellent service to a Rec
Center patron. From an outsider's perspective it appears Shay's job responsibilities are nearly
endless and she performs all of them professionally and well beyond expectations.
Shay is also a big reason my family and I enjoy the many special events hosted by the City of
Yorkville. From seasonal events with Santa or the Easter Bunny to Hometown Days and races
she seems to always be there with a smile on her face. Seeing Shay is often the highlight of any
event for my daughters, ages three and seven years old. She makes an effort to greet my girls
and make them feel special every time we see her. She truly has a gift for working with
children.
As a lifelong resident, I am proud to tell people I am from Yorkville. I believe Shay Rosborough
personifies everything that is great about this city we call home.
Thoroughly impressed,
Ben Niles
