Preliminaries to the City Council Meeting Subject : 5.2 Presentation of Illinois Law Enforcement Accreditation Program Plaque Meeting : Mar 11, 2025 - Local Liquor Control Commission and Regular City Council Meeting March 11, 2025 Type : Procedural Public Content Originating Department: City Manager's Office Background: Accreditation is the ongoing process through which agencies assess their policies and procedures against established criteria, ensuring compliance with those criteria verified by an independent and authoritative body, the Illinois Law Enforcement Accreditation Council. The criteria, or standards, serve as policy development guidelines representing high-quality service delivery. However, the true indicator of compliance lies with an evaluation by trained, independent professional peers. Establishing meaningful and professional standards and evaluating compliance with those standards are the two fundamentals of an accreditation program. The Tier II accreditation program is the most comprehensive, consisting of 181 standards, including administrative, operational, personnel, and training requirements. An ILEAP official carried out an onsite assessment over two days in December 2024, and the ILEAP Council awarded the accreditation to CPD in January 2025. Currently, 65 law enforcement agencies in Illinois are ILEAP-accredited agencies. Carbondale is now among only 22 law enforcement agencies in the state to have achieved Tier II accredited status. O'Fallon Public Safety Director and Illinois Law Enforcement Accreditation Program (ILEAP) Board Officer Kirk Brueggeman will present a plaque to Mayor Harvey for the Carbondale Police Department's achievement of Tier II accreditation. 5.

(TWM) of Swansea, IL to Assist with Federally Funded Projects in an Amount Not to Exceed $1,000,000 Each Meeting : Mar 11, 2025 - Local Liquor Control Commission and Regular City Council Meeting March 11, 2025 Type : Action (Consent) Recommended Action : Approve Resolution Authorizing the City Manager to Enter into 5-Year Engineering Consultant Contracts with  Thouvenot, Wade & Moerchen, Inc. (TWM) of Swansea, IL to Assist with Federally Funded Projects in an Amount Not to Exceed $1,000,000 Each Public Content Originating Department: Public Works Engineering Background: The Engineering Division prepared a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) to select engineering firms through the Illinois Department of Transportation's (IDOT's) Quality Based Selection (QBS) process. Having now completed the QBS selection process, it is necessary to enter into contracts with the top consulting firm so that the City can contract with them for Design Services as needed on IDOT and federally funded projects. The RFQ and QBS Policy are included for reference below;the advertisement and summary sections of the RFQ are as follows: ADVERTISEMENT: The City of Carbondale is seeking a qualified Consulting Engineering Firm(s) to enter into a contract for the performance of services On Call or Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) under task or work orders issued on an as-needed or on-call basis. The established contract period for this IDIQ is five (5) years, with a maximum total dollar amount of $1,000,000.00. The City may execute multiple IDIQ contracts should it be deemed in the best interest of the City. Sealed Statement of Qualification (SOQ) submittals were due to the Citys Director of Public Works by noon on January 17, 2025. All interested parties had the opportunity to download the Request for Qualifications (RFQ) and Quality Based Selections (QBS) Policy from the Citys website at: www.explorecarbondale.com/bids.aspx. Should you require a copy to be emailed to you, please contact Citys Engineering Division at (618) 457-3720 to request one. RFQ SUMMARY: The City of Carbondale is seeking a qualified Consulting Engineering Firm to enter into a contract for the performance of services On Call or Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) under task or work orders issued on an as-needed or on-call basis. The City at times receives Federal funds, which are used to fund some engineering and design-related consulting services. Over the recent years, the City has received Surface Transportation Program (STU) funds for numerous projects including 3R and New Construction/Reconstruction projects and Illinois Transportation Enhancement Program (ITEP) fund for several bicycle/pedestrian projects. Currently the City has several STU funded projects through the Southern Illinois Metropolitan Planning Organization (SIMPO) in various states of design/project readiness, and one ITEP project that is currently under design contract with a consultant. The City anticipates that they will continue to apply for and receive STUand ITEP funding, as well as other Federal funding sources including, but not limited to, Motor Fuel Tax (MFT), Safe Routes to Schools (SRTS), Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP), Surface Transportation Block Grant: Bridge (STPG: Bridge) and other funds that may become available. The City is in need of professional Phase I and Phase II (preliminary design and design engineering) and limited Phase III (construction engineering) services for various federally funded projects from the funding sources listed above. The typical types of projects funded by those sources include, but are not limited to, Local Agency Functional Overlay (LAFO) roadway resurfacing projects, roadway widening or reconstruction projects, intersection improvements, round-a-bouts, pedestrian/bicycle facilities, bridge replacement or rehabilitation, and engineering studies. The City reserves the right to perform a separate Qualifications Based Selection (QBS) process on any given project, depending on the complexity of the assignment and if the City determines it is in their best interest. The established contract period for this IDIQ shall be five (5) years, which is the time from execution of the IDIQ contract to when all work orders are issued. The maximum total dollar amount which may be awarded under this IDIQ is $1,000,000.00. The City may execute multiple IDIQ contracts should it be deemed in the best interest of the City. In total, ten (10) firms responded to the RFQ;these were independently evaluated and ranked by three (3)City staff members according to the attached QBS Ranking Sheet. The highest ranked firm was Thouvenot, Wade & Moerchen, Inc. (TWM) of Swansea, IL Staff has prepared a Master Task Order IDIQ contract that meets IDOT and Federal Requirements; this master contract enumerates the overall agreement and conditions per IDOT and Federal Standards, but does not detail any project specific tasks or costs. Actual project- specific agreements will be executed on a per-project basis as the need arises. Per the City's purchasing guidelines, all contracts in excess of $20,000 will be placed on a future City Council Agenda for individual consideration and approval. The advantage of approving this Master Task Order IDIQ contract is that when federal transportation funds become available in the future, the City can begin design work immediately through this approved consultant, which saves months of time for each individual project. If the City elects not to award an engineering consultant contract for the designated time period, a QBS process must be completed for each individual project where grant funds will be used for project design, which will lengthen the timeline of each project from application to completion.Staff followed IDOT and Federal standards for evaluating and scoring during the QBS selection process.By utilizing the QBS process, the City can save time in applications for State and Federal grants and on City capital projects. Recommended Action: It's recommended that the City Council approve resolutions authorizing the City Manager to enter into a 5-year master task order contract with TWM to provide engineering design services on federally funded transportation projects.

Consent Agenda of the City Council Subject : 7.5 Approve the Purchase of Rock Salt through the State of Illinois Joint Purchasing Program for FY2026 Meeting : Mar 11, 2025 - Local Liquor Control Commission and Regular City Council Meeting March 11, 2025 Type : Action (Consent) Recommended Action : Approve the Purchase of Rock Salt through the State of Illinois Joint Purchasing Program for FY2026 Public Content Originating Department: Public Works - Street Department Background: The Procurement Services Division of the State of Illinois Department of Central Management Services (CMS) has notified the City that it will be soliciting bids for the purchase of rock salt sometime during May/June 2024. The State of Illinoisis now using anonline registration /response system for joint purchasing.The City was notified via email on February 24, 2025, ofthe solicitation. In order to participate in the joint purchase of bulk rock salt this year, the City is required to submit an electronic requisition to CMS by April 7, 2024. In an effort to meet the demands of small and large communities, CMS is offering two options for committing to the purchase of rock salt for FY2024: Option 1 - The City is required to purchase not less than 80% of the requested amount, with the vendor agreeing to supply a maximum of 120% of the requested amount (if needed) by March 1, 2024. Option 2 - The City is required to purchase 100% of the requested amount, with the vendor agreeing to supply a maximum of 120% of the requested amount (if needed) by March 1, 2024. Either option allows the City to purchase up to 50% of the requested amount by November 30, 2025. The State strongly encourages governmental units to order early and store as much salt as possible in order to prevent potential salt shortages during the winter. Staff responded to the solicitation by selecting purchasing commitment Option 2 for 350 Tons of rock salt, which is consistent with the proposed FY2025 Budget. Carbondale Revised Code Section 1-6-16 allows cooperative purchasing with other government units when the best interests of the City would thereby be served. The purchase of rock salt through the State of Illinois' bid is in the City's best interests. The State secures a contract bond from the vendor to guarantee delivery of the requisitioned amount, and the price remains firm up to the 120% guaranteed limit for the duration of the contract. Historically, the purchase of this commodity through Joint Purchasing has benefited the City with below open market prices and guaranteed availability and delivery. The proposed requisition is for 700 tons (minimum purchase of 660 tons) with an estimated cost through the State Bid of $63,000. Sufficient funds have been included in the FY 2025 Budget for the purchase of rock salt for highway snow and ice control from Motor Fuel Tax Funds. Carbondale Revised Code Section 1-6-13.E.7 allows exceptions to the formal contract procedure when it is determined to be in the best interests of the City. This would require an affirmative vote of two-thirds (2/3) of those Council members present, but at least four (4) votes are required. (If all Council members are present, five (5) votes are required for approval.) Further, the state is now requiring a Certificate of Authority by vote to be turned in with the Rock Salt solicitation. All city purchasing rules will be followed with all purchases.

Consent Agenda of the City Council Subject : 7.6 Resolution Naming the State Route 13 West Multi- Use Path the Saluki Greenway Meeting : Mar 11, 2025 - Local Liquor Control Commission and Regular City Council Meeting March 11, 2025 Type : Action (Consent)  Recommended Action : Adopt a Resolution Naming the State Route 13 West Multi-Use Path the Saluki Greenway Goals : Goal #1: Provide a high quality-of-life and foster a sense of community for all residents Goal #4: Encourage progressive economic development, tourism, arts, and entertainment Goal #5: Provide high-quality City infrastructure Goal #6: Enhance residential development/rehabilitation Goal #7: Build on, expand, and develop new relationships with SIU and other regional entities Public Content Originating Department: Community Development Background: The City of Carbondale is nearing completion of the construction of a 2-mile-long, 10-foot wide paved multi-use bike path that will connect existing bike paths at Old Murphysboro Road and Wood Road. In 2020, the City of Carbondale applied for and was awarded an Illinois Transportation Enhancement Program (ITEP) grant from the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) to fund the construction of this segment of bike path. The same year, Jackson County was awarded ITEP funding to continue the path west toward Murphysboro. These projects are part of a regional effort to connect Murphysboro, Carbondale, Carterville, and Marion with an off-road path that will enhance transportation and recreation opportunities between and within these towns. City staff and other regional planning staff have referred to the west Carbondale/east Murphysboro path segment as 'Saluki Greenway' since the inception of the project. Staff recommend formally naming the path Saluki Greenway. This would be a reference, of course, to Southern Illinois University as a regional landmark and institution, and also to the region being known as Little Egypt. Cyclists from all over the country and world pass through Southern Illinois throughout the year, traveling the Transamerica Trail. Aligning our recreational facilities with our unique cultural assets will help instill name recognition for our region as we continue to attract visitors and future residents to our area. The reference to the SIU Salukis will also help to create a more welcoming environment for SIU students off-campus and even outside of Carbondale. Specifically, this Resolution would name the path beginning at Emerald Lane, continuing west along State Route 13 to Airport Road, the 'Saluki Greenway.' City staff and Jackson County staff have coordinated on this project since the grant applications were submitted to ensure that there would be a seamless transition on the bike path between the 'City segment' and the 'County segment.' City staff recommends that City Council direct staff to propose to the Jackson County Board the continuation of the naming of the Saluki Greenway until their project's terminus at Country Club Road.

Consent Agenda of the City Council Subject : 7.7 A Resolution Authorizing City Staff to Initiate Discussions Regarding the Establishment of the 1.5 Mile Zoning Boundary for the 2025 Comprehensive Plan Meeting : Mar 11, 2025 - Local Liquor Control Commission and Regular City Council Meeting March 11, 2025 Type : Action (Consent)  Recommended Action : Adopt a Resolution Authorizing City Staff to Gather Recommendations from the Planning Commission Regarding the Establishment of the 1.5 Mile Zoning Boundary for the 2025 Comprehensive Plan. Goals : Goal #1: Provide a high quality-of-life and foster a sense of community for all residents Goal #3: Demonstrate fiscal responsibility and transparency while providing high-quality City services Public Content Originating Department: Community Development Background: Carbondale, like many other home-rule municipalities in Illinois, maintains the authority to enforce its zoning and subdivision regulations up to 1.5 miles outside the city limits. This allows the City to manage the type, pattern, and character of development in areas where the City may eventually expand. Traditionally, the 1.5-mile boundary is re-drawn during the Comprehensive Plan update process to account for the citys growth since the previous update (please see attached 2010 Plan Future Land Use Map). As the City is currently undergoing its Comprehensive Plan update, slated to be completed by June 2025, formal recommendation from the City Council is needed as to where this boundary line will be drawn. This will determine how the City's zoning is administered outside of city limits for the next 10+ years. The Planning Commission discussed this topic, among others, during their February 26, 2024, PLAN Carbondale work session. A renewed agreement between Murphysboro and Carbondale needs to be established as to where the boundary between the two zoning authorities lies. And on Carbondale's east side, Staff suggests the consideration of ending the zoning jurisdiction at the Williamson County line. The Planning Commission recommended that the City Council seek the Commission's input on where the zoning boundary will be drawn for the new Comprehensive Plan. Attached is a Resolution directing Staff to compile a finding of facts for the Planning Commission and to begin necessary conversations with neighboring jurisdictions regarding the City's new 1.5-mile zoning boundary. This item would then come back to City Council to make the final decision, ideally ahead of the final drafting of PLAN Carbondale.

Consent Agenda of the City Council Subject : 7.8 Resolution Approving an Amendment to a Tax Increment Financing Redevelopment Agreement For Property at 200 West Elm Street Meeting : Mar 11, 2025 - Local Liquor Control Commission and Regular City Council Meeting March 11, 2025 Type : Action (Consent) Recommended Action : Approve resolution approving an amendment to a Tax Increment Finance Redevelopment Agreement for property at 200 W. Elm Street  Goals : Goal #4: Encourage progressive economic development, tourism, arts, and entertainment Goal #3: Demonstrate fiscal responsibility and transparency while providing high-quality City services Public Content Originating Department: Economic Development Background: In March 2016, the City entered into a TIF agreement with Sai Krishna LLC for eligible costs associated with the construction of the Homes2 Suites by Hilton at 200 W. Elm Street. The agreement allowed for a maximum TIF reimbursement of $350,000 and a rebate Hotel room tax not to exceed $1.5 million. See Redevelopment Agreement Sai Krishna 2025-03-11.pdf attached. The Homes2 Suites by Hilton opened in October 2018, with 55 marked parking spaces. However, according to their franchise agreement with Hilton, the hotel needed one parking space per room for a total of 97 spaces. The City agreed to temporarily provide parking permits for Lot 6 for $1,000/year, with a 12 month term. In May of 2023, Lot 6 was closed for the construction of SIMMS, reducing the number of available parking spots below the required threshold for the hotels franchise agreement. To temporarily accommodate the hotels parking needs, the City allowed their guest to use the metered parking lot behind City Hall at no charge. To address the hotels parking needs, Sai Krishna, LLC purchased 209 W. Walnut Street, 211 W. Walnut Street, and 203. W. Elm Street to construct additional parking lots to provide sufficient parking to meet the franchises parking requirements. Sai Krishna, LLC wishes to amend their current TIF Redevelopment Agreement to include the new adjacent parcels and any additional TIF eligible expenses associated with them, including property acquisition, professional services, and demolition costs. Recommended Action: It is recommended that the City Council approve the Resolution approvingan amendment to a Tax Increment Finance Redevelopment Agreement for property at 200 W. Elm Street.

Consent Agenda of the City Council Subject : 7.9 Resolution Authorizing the City Manager to Enter into a Code Compliance Tax Increment Financing Agreement with Quatro Holdings, LLC for a Redevelopment Project at 218 West Freeman Street Meeting : Mar 11, 2025 - Local Liquor Control Commission and Regular City Council Meeting March 11, 2025 Type : Action (Consent) Recommended Action : Approve Resolution Authorizing the City Manager to Enter into a Code Compliance Tax Increment Financing Agreement with Quatro Holdings, LLC for a Redevelopment Project at 218 West Freeman Street  Goals : Goal #4: Encourage progressive economic development, tourism, arts, and entertainment Goal #3: Demonstrate fiscal responsibility and transparency while providing high-quality City services Public Content Originating Department: Economic Development Background: On December 27, 2012, the City Council approved an ordinance adopting tax increment financing (TIF) for Illinois-University Corridor TIF #2. This ordinance allows property tax revenue created by new development within the project area to be held in a special City fund to pay for certain redevelopment expenses. One use of the increment funds is to reimburse private developers for eligible redevelopment project costs. The State statutes governing TIF specify eligible redevelopment project costs that include property acquisition, demolition, site preparation, environmental cleanup, remodeling and rehabilitation of existing buildings, and a portion of interest costs from financing. The cost of new building construction is not an eligible expense. On April 25, 2023, the City Council approved a resolution creating TIF-Funded Downtown Property Code Compliance Incentive Program. The intent of this program is to encourage commercial property owners to improve downtown buildings, in an effort to develop a revitalized downtown. The reimbursement terms for this project are specified in the attached redevelopment agreement between the City and the developer. Attached for consideration by the City Council is a redevelopment agreement between the City and Quatro Holdings, LLC for reimbursement of a portion of the costs to redevelop property at 218 West Freeman Avenue. The developer is in the process of expanding the popular Quatros Deep Pan Pizza into the adjacent vacant spots, east of the current operating space. Renovations include additional ADA- accessibility upgrades, as well as additional restrooms to accommodate for increased capacity. Under the terms of the redevelopment agreement, the City will reimburse the developer for eligible costs that are estimated to total approximately $346,000. A portion of this total includes an upfront reimbursement of up to $50,000 to cover the expense of bringing the building up to code. The remaining amount represents the developers cost of the purchase of the existing structures. Costs related to any new construction of the property will not be eligible and are not included in this estimate. Objectives of the TIF Redevelopment Plan include reduction or elimination of blighting conditions, enhancing the real estate tax base, and encouraging private investment in the redevelopment project area. Development of the subject property as proposed by Quatro Holdings, LLC represents a substantial contribution to all of these objectives. Recommended Action: It is recommended that the City Council approve a resolution authorizing the City Manager to enter into an economic development tax increment financing agreement with Quatro Holdings, LLC for a Redevelopment Project at 218 West Freeman Street.
