ITEMS ALSO ON THE REGULAR MEETING AGENDA: None. C. CONSIDERATIONS: 1) FY15 Budget (Previously distributed) Mayor Rey turned the meeting over to Ms. Gaura. Ms. Gaura provided Council with an overview of the structure of the FY15 Budget from the transmittal letter in the FY15 Budget book. She further advised that Mr. Espiritu would participate in presenting the revenue aspects of the FY15 Budget and this presentation was just the first of several anticipated presentations to Council. Ms. Gaura stated to Council that the Financial Advisory Committee had met and participated in an overview of the budget and addressed questions relating to the structure of the budget. Both City Financial Consultants were present at that meeting. Committee of the Whole Meeting May 12, 2014 Page 2 of 5 Ms. Gaura also informed Council that the location for the May 17, 2014, Budget Workshop meeting had been moved from its original location of the Police Department to Council Chambers as a result of issues with televising the meeting. Council members were further advised that Ms. Gaura and Mr. Espiritu would provide an overview by department and address questions at the May 17th meeting. Ms. Gaura presented the outline of the transmittal letter contained in the FY15 Budget providing background on the Council’s selection of primary budget items and the establishment of a step- by-step process for addressing long-term priorities. She commented on multiple aspects of upgrading the Finance Department, including the step of taking the department from a divisional structure to a true department status. Her comments included staffing structure modifications and the relocation of the IT department from Administration Services to the Finance Department. Next she addressed the establishment of a Community Development Department. She commented on restructuring the Public Works Department, the responsibilities that had shifted to the Public Works Department as a result of the prior downsizing action, and the elimination of an economic development consultant. She emphasized to Council that this elimination did not apply to the DeKalb County Economic Development Corporation as the City was involved with this entity on numerous ongoing projects. Ms. Gaura further expanded on functions that would be included under the Community Development Department, including Planning, Economic Development, and Buildings and Property Maintenance. Ms. Gaura addressed the issue of outsourcing building and code inspections and what the current status was for that task. She advised that currently the City Engineer supervised this function, but that the Community Development Department head would take over management. Ms. Gaura referenced the EPI report recommendation relating to this cost elimination. She stated that the City had been reactive but needs to be proactive in building code issues. Of the current three (3) positions, only half (.5) of one of the posts had been allocated to property maintenance. Ms. Gaura continued with comments relating to the Community Development Department taking the lead in creating a TIF phase-out plan. The City has two (2) current TIF districts scheduled to expire in six (6) years. TIF 2 will expire in March of 2018, and the Central TIF will expire in December of 2020. She explained the intent of having staff work together to create a phase-out plan working backwards to present; having the City Engineer create a GANT chart providing information on intended projects over the next six (6) years. The Finance Director would also be involved to cost out contributions from TIF districts into the Capitol Plans and General Fund. This task would provide critical end dates for planning purposes. She continued by addressing the intent of having Public Works focus on infrastructure and capitol projects; the intent of a GIS intern position to provide 50% support to the DSATS function and 50% support to the water fund function. She commented on the budget item of creating a water structure plan and performing a water rate study. Ms. Gaura further commented on the positive affect of the realignment in allowing the Public Works Director to focus on City Hall maintenance issues along with attention to the DeKalb Airport. She commented on an airport improvement study, advising Council this had been an  Committee of the Whole Meeting May 12, 2014 Page 3 of 5 item of recommendation by EPI, which could be undertaken to transfer the function of the airport to a more regional service airport as opposed to a stand-alone entity. She shared that discussions had been held with NIU on how the airport could be used more fully in addressing NIU needs and also how the airport could better serve the regional area in the private sector. Ms. Gaura then addressed budgetary recommendations relating to the Public Safety aspect. In particular she commented on the priority of implementation of the OSSI record software program for both the Police and Fire departments. She covered staffing structure modification recommendations and the potential revenue results. The next topic of comment was long-range planning. Ms. Gaura spoke on the effort to create a strong partnership with NIU, an item that had also been an EPI recommendation. The City would undertake a strategic long-term plan produced by the city and the university. A key item to be shared with the public from the March 15, 2014, Council meeting would be the intent to define the City of DeKalb as a leader, requesting and requiring extensive community involvement, creating a proposal for the Center for Governmental Studies to address. She further commented on the active participation of Bill Nicklas, Vice President for Operations & Community Relations in participation of the creation of such a strategic plan and the factual intertwinement of the City of DeKalb and NIU. Additional information was provided relating to Phase II of the Housing Study along with efforts in advancing the overall status of the City of DeKalb, DeKalb County, NIU, City of Sycamore and efforts to solve specific social problems. The restructuring of the City Manager’s Office was then addressed. Ms. Gaura provided information relating to the Assistant City Manager position responsibilities with comments on the status of different union negotiations. She further advised that the Human Resources Department would report to the Assistant City Manager and provided information relative to upcoming and ongoing projects for that department. She advised Council that the recommendation from proposals received on the pay study would be brought to Council at the June 9, 2014, meeting. She also commented on an EPI recommendation relative to compensation, compensation time, and the financial impact on the City. She further advised Council that job descriptions for all city positions would be reviewed and brought up to date, City-wide employee training would be addressed – in particular prevention of harassment and ethics. Ms. Gaura then addressed the Management Analyst position and provided details on expected responsibilities of the position, including establishment of a wellness program. She advised that this position had also been an EPI recommendation, with their further recommendation that the position also be responsible for City outreach projects. She shared expected additional responsibilities of the position would include revising the City’s webpage, and coordinating legislative efforts. Ms. Gaura advised this position would be funded from monies previously expended on a lobbyist. She commented that the concept of a lobbyist was great, but the reality was that it was not working; this position would have a far greater return on investment. She reassured Council that there was no intent to discontinue lobbying; it would just be addressed in a different manner. Ms. Gaura stated to Council that it was a key item for their notation that any position in the proposed budget would show a corresponding reduction elsewhere in the budget. The intent of the submitted budget was to address the needs of the departments. She then asked Council for Committee of the Whole Meeting May 12, 2014 Page 2 of 5 their questions. Mayor Rey thanked Ms. Gaura and stated his appreciation for the thorough focus on operations in financial formation, the realignment of functions and that he was very pleased to learn the number of EPI recommendations that had been addressed. Ald. Naylor asked if further discussions on numerous issues would take place at the Saturday, May 17, 2014, meeting. Ms. Gaura confirmed they would. Ald. Jacobson advised he was not going to be able to attend the May 17, 2014, meeting, that this was his third cycle of producing the City’s budget, and proceeded to provide comments on his review of the submitted budget and the financial status of the City. Ms. Gaura responded to Ald. Jacobson with information contained in the transmittal letter of the FY15 Budget book. She commented on the need to be proactive, identifying what issues need to be addressed, and her insight on what she sees across the board. She stated that the proposed budget would be balanced except for the balloon payment due January 1, 2015, and commented on the background of the payment decision. She further shared that there were many issues that would not be solved at this meeting, but needed to be on the table as these issues will drive the decisions of Council. She provided commentary on the General Fund and how it supports nine (9) other funds. Ms. Gaura asked the Council if they were satisfied with the services being provided to citizens. She further commented that property taxes do not fully support pension obligations which create an impact on the General Fund. She referenced an EPI recommendation that the City have a goal to fund pensions in 10 years at a 75% level. Current levels have the Fire Department at 45% and the Police Department at 60%. Ms. Gaura continued to comment on the lack of a dedicated revenue source to cover long-term debt such as the Police Department facility, the policy of maintaining current tax level levy without funding pension obligations, and the fact that this will impact the City’s ability to provide services. She again asked Council if they were satisfied with the level of operations – that it wasn’t sustainable with the current approach. She further commented on the impact of a dedicated revenue source for the public safety fund – three out of seven of the funds are being supported by the General Fund; the fact that the TIF districts were issues by themselves; the fact that the current budget structure is not sustainable and policy changes are needed; and the need to create a six-year window on how to address these concerns. Ald. Jacobson commented on the financial situation and asked Council to take that into consideration and use the information provided in decisions to be made going forward. Ald. Baker commented that he was not worried about the budget, his appreciation that the pension costs are reflected on resident’s tax bill, and that there were revenue services not charged to the community that other communities implemented. He requested clarification on how the sales tax numbers had been determined. Mr. Espiritu provided the background concerning the sales tax sharing with both the City of Sycamore and DeKalb County and advised that going forward, reports will show gross receipts coming in and funds going out will be reflected as expenditures. Ald. Baker commented on previous presentations to Council and advised his appreciation for the transparency. Ald. Lash advised a number of her comments had already been addressed. She touched on issues  Committee of the Whole Meeting May 12, 2014 Page 5 of 5 that had been presented by Ms. Gaura with regard to the airport, lobbyist, TIF, and website. She commented on the realization that things were not being done sustainably and that the consultants would provide approaches to achieve that goal. Ms. Gaura responded by referring to the EPI study – that not all recommendations were being used, but that Aldermen could go back to their residents and advise that the City was using these studies. Ald. Baker spoke regarding the upcoming balloon payment background. Ms. Gaura responded that Mr. Espiritu had met and discussed the issue with the financial consultants and was advised there was no advantage in putting off the payment. Ms. Gaura additionally pointed out that on the upcoming property tax notices, residents would see 2 line items: the City of DeKalb amount reflects the amount for pension funding; the City of DeKalb Property Tax amount reflects costs for bonds for the Library addition. She further stated to Council that even though the City faces many issues, they were all workable and that policy decisions affecting the future will be needed from Council. She advised Council that she fully recommends the changes regarding changes in staff, consultants, etc. and again posed the question to Council if they felt the level of services provided was what they wanted. Ms. Gaura shared with Council that the City had done a good job in reducing costs, but there would be other recommendations to raise revenues. She stated that the May 17, 2014, meeting would have discussions regarding revenues and that department heads would provide their reports to Council. Mayor Rey inquired as to whether there were any other questions. 2) APPROVAL TO HOLD A CLOSED SESSION TO DISCUSS PERSONNEL AS PROVIDED FOR IN 5 ILCS 120/2(C)(1); SECURITY PROCEDURES AND THE USE OF PERSONNEL 5 ILCS 120/2(C)(8) AND PENDING OR IMMINENT LITIGATIONS 5 ILCS 120/2(C)(11).

Special Items  Proclamation: National Emergency Medical Services Week – May 18 – 24, 2014 Mayor Rey read the Proclamation declaring May 18 – 24, 2014 as National Emergency Medical Services Week and presented it to Chief Hicks. Regular City Council Meeting Minutes May 12, 2014 Page 2 of 7  Proclamation: Public Works Week – May 18 -24 Mayor Rey read the Proclamation declaring May 18 – 24, 2014, as Public Works Week and presented it to T.J. Moore.  City Hall Working Group Recommendation on City Hall Renovation Mr. Moore reported a Working Group was created to explore the renovation of the City Hall building in order to make a determination regarding what, if any, renovation should be made to the building. The Working Group utilized members of City Council, staff, and local experts to make a recommendation to the City Council. The Working Group is recommending to Council that the City engage the services of an expert in determining if a new facility is of better service to the community than a renovation of an existing facility. Mr. Moore stated the current recommendation is different from what was originally anticipated in that there are two additional studies – a justification study and a space needs analysis. The justification study would assess the condition of the building and would be performed by McClaren, Wilson & Lawrie, Inc. over a three month period. The Working Group would return to Council with a recommendation on the best way move forward. The space needs analysis would assess space needed for each employee, including storage. Mr. Moore explained that the Dewberry study completed in the past covered space needs, but used the assumption the building would be renovated. Ms. Gaura stated the justification study would show the cost difference between renovation versus constructing a new building. Ms. Gaura further stated it is important to show the community what makes more sense initially. While it might seem to make more sense to renovate, there are major problems with the current building, she said. The study would also look beyond the current City Hall and consider other functions. Mr. Moore stated the concepts of how services are delivered have changed over the last 50 years when the current building was built. Mr. Moore also made the following points: the security of the building is an issue for staff and residents; the mechanical systems are antiquated; accessibility is an issue because there are certain expectations for serviceability – this building doesn’t meet many of the requirements of the American’s with Disabilities Act (ADA); the building is not environmentally sound as it contains mold and asbestos; the building doesn’t meet modern building code; the Emergency Operation Center (EOC) is inadequate; the firing range is in the basement of City Hall and does not adequately meet the current policing needs of the City. If the building was renovated, consideration would need to be taken to decide if the firing range even belonged at City Hall, he said. Mr. Moore stated the generator placed in the building in the mid-1980s is in good shape; however, steps need to be taken to ensure it is sized and wired appropriately. Ald. Finucane asked if there was a difference between the proposed justification study and the existing Dewberry report. Mr. Moore replied that when the Dewberry study was presented, it was presumed the building would be a remodel so it assessed everything on that course of action. The recommended justification study would assess the condition of this building and what a remodel would cost compared to a new building being constructed with exactly what the City needed to provide services to residents.  Regular City Council Meeting Minutes May 12, 2014 Page 3 of 7 Ald. Snow felt it was premature to do a space needs assessment because the City already has the Dewberry report. Mr. Frieders stated the process of building the Police Department was a learning experience. Putting more time in the front end of planning for core needs and issues then Council can make a better decision on what is needed along with costs to meet those needs. Ald. Baker said that NIU might be interested in acquiring the City Hall building. Further, if NIU was involved, perhaps the City could remodel for NIU, he said. In turn, NIU would remodel for the City. Or the City could close the TIF early to taxing bodies to move out of the TIF, he added. Ms. Gaura replied there are specific criteria for keeping City Hall in its current location downtown or relocated, either by renovation or new construction. If the City looks at a location anywhere offsite, funding sources would have to come from someplace other than TIF 2, she said. Ald. Naylor stated initially he did not believe that the City needed more studies, however, he now agrees with the recommendation to use studies to find out what is most economical and perhaps the expenditure of these funds will save the City money in the long run. Ald. Jacobson asked why the EOC wasn’t built into the new Police Department. Mr. Moore replied that during an emergency, the Police Department would need to function as a Police Department. The EOC would need to be a place where key staff would gather. Ms. Gaura stated the EOC should be incorporated into the new design of City Hall because it needs to be located where key staff is gathered, along with a separate location in the same building for elected officials, such as a conference room. Also included in the EOC could be locations for other taxing bodies, and press. In non-emergency times, the EOC would serve a dual purpose as training room, she said. Ald. O’Leary stated the recommended justification study would be the third study completed on City Hall. In a previous report from Irving Construction, City Hall was found to have asbestos and mold which is why the new Police Department was built on a different site, she said. The Irving report also stated this building was in such bad shape that it could not be remodeled. She added she doesn’t see any reason why another study should be done. Ms. Gaura stated she was unaware of a previous study from Irving Construction, but she would discuss it with senior staff and report back to Council. Ms. Gaura further stated that having a justification study done is more cost effective to find out if it makes more sense to renovate or build a new City Hall. Ald. Lash recalled the report from Irving Construction wasn’t a study, but more of a report that stated this building wasn’t viable for remodel due to the mold and asbestos. She agreed a justification study should be completed, but wasn’t sure about the space need study. Ms. Gaura stated she was seeking approval to receive a proposal and would bring recommendations back to Council at a later date for review. She added she has worked with McClaren, Wilson & Lawrie, Inc. in the past and can provide Council with reviews of their qualifications. Regular City Council Meeting Minutes May 12, 2014 Page 4 of 7 Ald. Naylor stated studies done in the past focused on the Police Department and the possible renovation of City Hall. Now that those studies are over two years old, the City needs a new study to focus on what the true needs of City Hall are. Ms. Gaura stated she would make sure all past studies were reviewed and if there’s something that warrants further review, she would present it to Council. Ald. Baker stated he supports the studies so Council can get a clearer picture of the work needed City Hall. MOTION Ald. Lash moved to approve the negotiation of costs involved for the justification study; seconded by Ald. O’Leary. Motion carried on a voice vote. Mayor Rey declared the motion passed.  TIF Update Ms. Diedrich introduced Kathleen Field Orr of Kathleen Field Orr and Associates. Ms. Orr would provide guidance and expertise to the employee-based TIF team being established to draft a phase- out plan. This team would consist of Attorney Kathleen Field Orr, and staff members City Manager, the Assistant City Manager/Interim Finance Director (to be replaced by the next Finance Director when hired), the proposed Community Development Director, Economic Development Coordinator, City Engineer, and Principal Planner. Ms. Gaura stated that in the past, the City has utilized the services of a planning firm but never an attorney with special knowledge of TIF districts. Ms. Diedrich explained to Council that the City currently has two TIF districts – the Central Area TIF which will expire December 21, 2020, and TIF 2 which will expire March 31, 2018. Ms. Diedrich went over the suggested projects of the two TIF districts with Council. 2. APPROVAL OF MAYOR APPOINTMENTS Appointment of Eric Hicks to Fire Pension Board – Three Year Term MOTION Ald.
