Resolution 2018-084 Authorizing Staff to Negotiate and Execute a Municipal Electrical Aggregation Agreement for Residential Electricity for a Period Not to Exceed 36-Months. Mayor Smith read Resolution 2018-084 by title only. Regular Meeting Minutes August 27, 2018 Page 4 of 15 MOTION Alderman Noreiko moved to approve the resolution and Alderman Marquardt seconded. Management Analyst DiDiana summarized the sequence of events since the City learned ComEd was planning to raise rates for electricity beginning in June 2018. This updated resolution reflects a new set of bids from broker Rock River Energy Services solicited after a local broker dropped out of the bidding. It shows even lower rates for a 36-month term than seen in the first round. The contract term would begin in November. In response to questions from several Council members, Management Analyst DiDiana confirmed and clarified details of the agreement and staff recommendations, including enrollment, opt-out period, and mail notifications. Staff are recommending an agreement of 36 months at a rate of 6.82 cents, compared to the current ComEd rate of 7.35 cents through September that will rise again in October to 7.94 cents. Participating residents would default back to ComEd at the end of the term unless/until the city initiated a new aggregation process. VOTE Motion carried on an 8-0 roll call vote. Aye: Marquardt, Fagan, Noreiko, Verbic, Faivre, Jacobson, Finucane, Smith. Nay: None. Mayor Smith declared the motion passed. 2.

Mayor Smith read Omnibus Resolutions 2018-111 through 2018-115 by title only. MOTION Alderman Noreiko moved to approve the resolution. Alderman Verbic seconded.

Community Services Coordinator Rouse summarized the types of activities and services eligible under HUD rules for these grants to sub-recipients.

Aye: Noreiko, Verbic, Faivre, Jacobson, Finucane, Marquardt, Smith. Nay: None. Absent: Fagan (recusal). 3.

Resolution 2018-117 Authorizing the Use of the DeKalb County Community Foundation as a Financial Agent for the DeKalb Municipal Band. Mayor Smith read Resolution 2018-117 by title only. MOTION Alderman Verbic moved to approve the resolution. Alderman Fagan seconded. City Attorney Frieders explained the transformation of Municipal band members from independent contractors of the City into a not-for-profit entity. Use of Community Foundation will allow the band to accept grants and donations and pay its bills while the band awaits an award of tax-exempt status. Ms. Bessie Chronopoulos, Fifth Ward resident, cautioned the City not to take any action that hinders the function of the band. Mayor Smith noted his own history with the Community Foundation. He said the band director had initiated the move and he is comfortable with it. Regular Meeting Minutes August 27, 2018 Page 6 of 15 Alderman Finucane asked Attorney Frieders if the band was planning to become financially independent from the City. Frieders said he didn’t know, but the band’s becoming a 501(c) organization would expand the potential range of funding options beyond city support. Alderman Jacobson commented that this is probably what the future looks like for organizations DeKalb supports, as the City is forced to prioritize core services. Alderman Fagan asked about alcohol sales and DeKalb Park District (DPD) contributions to the band. Attorney Frieders said DPD does serve alcohol but so far it has not been profitable; and it contributes in-kind services such as storage space. VOTE Motion passed with 8-0 roll call vote. Aye: Faivre, Jacobson, Finucane, Marquardt, Fagan, Noreiko, Verbic, Smith. Nay: None. 5. Resolution 2018-118 Authorizing the Award of a Bid to Suburban General Construction in the Amount of $349,850 for 1,100 Feet of Water Main Replacement on Oak Drive with Staff Authority to Approve Change Orders Up to $362,095. Mayor Smith read Resolution 2018-118 by title only. MOTION Alderman Noreiko moved to approve the resolution, seconded by Alderman Faivre. Assistant Public Works Director Faivre said the low bid is less than both the engineer’s estimate ($380,000) and the budgeted amount ($400,000), including the contingency allowance for change orders. VOTE Motion passed on 8-0 roll call vote. Aye: Jacobson, Finucane, Marquardt, Fagan, Noreiko, Verbic, Faivre, Smith. Nay: none. 6. Resolution 2018-119 Requesting a Permit from the Illinois Department of Transportation Authorizing the City of DeKalb to Proceed with Work to Replace Existing Water Main on Oak Drive. Mayor Smith read Resolution 2018-119 by title only. MOTION Alderman Faivre moved to approve the resolution. Alderman Marquardt seconded.  Regular Meeting Minutes August 27, 2018 Page 7 of 15 Assistant Public Works Director Faivre explained the permit is needed because the main extends onto Sycamore Road, which is under IDOT jurisdiction. VOTE Motion passed on 8-0 roll call vote. Aye: Finucane, Marquardt, Fagan, Noreiko, Verbic, Faivre, Jacobson, Smith. Nay: none. 7. Resolution 2018-120 Authorizing the Reorganization of the City Hall Finance Department Facilities in an Amount Not to Exceed $29,079.00. Mayor Smith read Resolution 2018-120 by title only. Public Works Director Holdeman said this would be a TIF expense. He explained that the renovations would be expected to improve the ability of customer service staff to see members of the public when they come into the lobby and would create walled office space to enable the Finance Director and Assistant Finance Director to hold confidential conversations. Amount includes wall work, flooring, and fixtures, and comes in under the total amount with contingencies. Public Works would install the fixtures. MOTION Mayor Smith restated the resolution language and asked for a motion. Alderman Noreiko moved to approve the resolution. Alderman Verbic seconded. Council discussion centered on two main issues. One was whether the entire remodel is necessary, since they remodeled the same area five years ago, and because Council has yet to determine the fate of the City Hall building. The other concern was whether this project is an appropriate use of TIF, considering Council’s decision to prioritize projects with returns on investment, and heightened public scrutiny related to the proposed new TIF district. VOTE Motion passed 6-2 on roll call vote. Aye: Marquardt, Noreiko, Verbic, Faivre, Finucane, Smith. Nay: Fagan, Jacobson. 8. Ordinance 2018-045 Revising Chapter 6 "Streets, Alleys and Sidewalks”, by Adding Section 6.20-5 “Vegetation and Managed Natural Landscape”, and Amending Chapter 12 “Nuisances”, Section 12.01 “Nuisances Declared”, Subsection 22 “Weeds”, for the Purpose of Allowing Planned Natural Landscaping While Prohibiting Uncontrolled Growth of Vegetation. (First Reading) Mayor Smith read Ordinance 2018-045 by title only. Regular Meeting Minutes August 27, 2018 Page 8 of 15 MOTION Alderman Marquardt moved to approve the resolution. Alderman Finucane seconded. Public Works Director Holdeman presented an exhibit and overview of the process of developing the ordinance, which represented 15 months of work by the Citizen’s Environmental Commission and Planning & Zoning Commission and much public input. Council members asked questions about what the ordinance specifically allowed and about its enforceability. VOTE Motion passed with an 8-0 roll call vote. Aye: Fagan, Noreiko, Verbic, Faivre, Jacobson, Finucane, Marquardt, Smith. Nay: none. MOTION Alderman Finucane moved to waive Second Reading. Alderman Verbic seconded. VOTE Motion carried on an 8-0 roll call vote. Aye: Noreiko, Verbic, Faivre, Jacobson, Finucane, Marquardt, Fagan, Smith. Nay: none. 9. Ordinance 2018-046 Authorizing a Special Use Permit for a Video Gaming Establishment at 850-852 S. 4th Street (Maisy’s). (First Reading) Mayor Smith read Ordinance 2018-046 by title only. MOTION Alderman Verbic moved to pass the ordinance. Alderman Finucane seconded. Principal Planner Olson presented the proposal for the site. He reported that the Planning & Zoning Commission recommended approval, though not unanimously as two members objected to the proposed hours of operation. Other input included objections from representatives of a local daycare and elementary school. Ms. Bessie Chronopoulos spoke against the proposal, saying it was not a good fit for the city. She urged Council to talk more to school officials, and not to waive Second Reading.  Regular Meeting Minutes August 27, 2018 Page 9 of 15 Aldermen Finucane, Noreiko, Fagan, and Faivre asserted that the plan was vetted by the Planning & Zoning Commission and meets all applicable regulations, though some expressed that they did not consider it the ideal location. Alderman Fagan voiced concern over use of banners, “feather” signs, or other methods to bypass the restrictions on advertising of gaming and liquor sales. MOTION Alderman Fagan moved to amend the ordinance to add that “no other signage, whether permanent or temporary, will be put up to show to show any video gambling or alcohol sales.” Alderman Verbic seconded the motion. Council members discussed whether the motion constituted “changing the rules” or “firming up the rules.” Upon a question made by City Attorney Frieders, Alderman Fagan changed his motion to prohibit only “temporary signs advertising gambling machines or alcohol.” Mayor Smith noted that Alderman Jacobson had recused himself from the vote by leaving the dais. VOTE Motion passed on roll call vote of 4-3-1. Aye: Verbic, Marquardt, Fagan, Noreiko. Nay: Faivre, Finucane, Smith. Absent: Jacobson (recusal). Mayor Smith declared the amendment passed. Mayor Smith suggested Council might devote a meeting to enforcement of the sign ordinance. MOTION Alderman Verbic moved, and Alderman Finucane seconded, to pass the ordinance on First Reading as amended. VOTE Motion passed on roll call vote, 7-0-1. Aye: Faivre, Finucane, Marquardt, Fagan, Noreiko, Verbic, Smith. Nay: none. Absent: Jacobson (recusal). MOTION Regular Meeting Minutes August 27, 2018 Page 10 of 15 Alderman Finucane moved to waive Second Reading and approve the ordinance. Alderman Verbic seconded the motion. VOTE Motion passed on roll call vote, 7-0-1. Aye: Finucane, Marquardt, Fagan, Noreiko, Verbic, Faivre, Smith. Nay: none. Absent: Jacobson (recusal). 10. Resolution 2018-121 Authorizing an Intergovernmental Agreement with the Kishwaukee Water Reclamation District for Emergency Sewer Repairs in an Amount Not to Exceed $100,000. Mayor Smith read Resolution 2018-121 by title only. MOTION Alderman Noreiko moved to approve the resolution. Alderman Faivre seconded. Public Works Director Holdeman used a diagram to help explain the reasons for the request of an agreement and emergency allocation of TIF funds. At issue is repair of sanitary service on the 200 block of East Lincoln Highway, which also involves the businesses Tapa La Luna and Antique Treasures. Permanent repairs have been delayed by discovery of an illegal sewer line connection and uncertainty over the role played by a water main leak that preceded the sewer line collapse. The agreement would help with an orderly and appropriate allocation of funds for/by the involved parties, he said. Jeff Metzger, owner of Antique Treasures, asserted that the illegal sewer connection was probably 100 years old and probably legal at time of installment. Mr. Metzger said he has put tens of thousands of dollars into the property himself without handouts, and that he feels this would be a proper use of TIF funds. He said he would have to sell the business if he had to pay for the repairs himself. Kishwaukee Water Reclamation District (KWRD) Manager Mark Eddington clarified for Council members KWRD’s responsibilities and role in the proposed arrangement. Council members’ discussions centered on the following:  How to apportion responsibility for repairs.  Whether or not the water main leak was the cause of the sanitary service failure (since the water main is the city’s responsibility).  Whether property owners should share some of the costs.  Regular Meeting Minutes August 27, 2018 Page 11 of 15  Whether TIF funding was appropriate, as opposed to water capital funds, in view of council’s rule to prioritize TIF projects based on anticipated return on investment. Public Works Director Holdeman opined that the water leak probably contributed to the sewer line failure, calling it unlikely that the two events, two days apart, were not somehow related. Assistant Public Works Director Faivre went into further detail to explain why failures of city property might have contributed to sewer line failure, including storm sewer issues and a soldered water connection, but you could never be 100% sure, he said. Mayor Smith asked whether repairs could begin even while the parties worked further on the IGA. City Attorney Frieders recommended that an IGA be authorized first, so the city’s involvement is clear. MOTION Alderman Verbic moved that the City cover 30% of the costs of repairs for each business, using up to $60,000 in TIF, with the remainder of the balance due paid for by some type of a partnership, or perhaps property owners being able to take a loan; for example, they are asked to take out a loan of $20,000 each. Alderman Finucane asked for clarification of the motion, questioning the term “percent,” rather than a dollar figure, where in this proposal, 30% would represent $30,000. Alderman Verbic clarified that he meant 30% per each of the two businesses. Discussion continued on use of TIF, property owners’ responsibilities, and the likelihood that the city could be found responsible for the damage in court. Mayor Smith declared the motion failed for lack of a second. MOTION Alderman Finucane moved that the City attribute 1% of the cost to the owners, 30% to TIF dollars, and that the remaining 69% come out of the Water Fund. Alderman Noreiko seconded. City Attorney Frieders confirmed with Alderman Finucane that he meant to retain the “not to exceed” cost of $100,000. Discussion continued on the extent of the City’s responsibility versus property owners’, including the illegal hookup, which caused none of the damage. VOTE Regular Meeting Minutes August 27, 2018 Page 12 of 15 Motion failed on a roll call vote of 4-3-0. Aye: Marquardt, Noreiko, Finucane. Nay: Fagan, Verbic, Faivre, Jacobson. MOTION Alderman Jacobson moved that the City provide up to 30% of the total project repairs in TIF, precluding the illegal connection. Alderman Verbic seconded. Mayor Smith and City Attorney Frieders asked how the other 70% should be apportioned. Alderman Verbic withdrew his second. Mayor asked if there was a second. There was none. He declared the motion dead for lack of a second. Discussion of apportionment continued, now including Mr. Metzger, and in the context of whether the decision would result in loss of businesses downtown. MOTION Alderman Verbic moved that City pay 80% of the total cost, whether financed by TIF or water funds, and that the remaining 20% be covered by the property owners, up to the limit. Alderman Fagan seconded. Alderman Jacobson asked if the illegal hookup would be included. Attorney Frieders asked who would be the arbiter of the portions going to the property owners. MOTION Alderman Jacobson moved to table the discussion. City Attorney Frieders clarified Alderman Verbic’s motion, as follows: “The City would be authorizing an expenditure of 80% of the total project cost, not exceeding $100,000, and with that incentive returning back for allocation between Water and TIF.” Alderman Verbic agreed with that wording of his motion. Mayor Smith acknowledged Alderman Jacobson’s motion to table. Mr. Eddington spoke on behalf of KWRD, saying that body would contribute 10% of the cost up to $100,000, as well as managing the project and installing in the most efficient way possible. Alderman Jacobson expressed appreciation for KWRD’s contribution.  Regular Meeting Minutes August 27, 2018 Page 13 of 15 No second to the motion to table was forthcoming. Motion to table failed. Alderman Verbic asked for Alderman Fagan to withdraw his second. Then Alderman Verbic withdrew his motion for an 80%-20% split. MOTION Alderman Verbic moved that the City pay 80%, with 10% borne by KWRD, and the remaining 10% split by the owners. City Attorney Frieders informed Alderman Verbic that staff had confirmed water funds could bear the city’s portion of cost, and Alderman Verbic confirmed that he would like for the city’s 80% portion to be paid by water funds. Mayor Smith asked for the City Clerk and City Attorney to state the motion that was on the floor. City Clerk Fazekas stated the amendment proposes “the City pays 80% of the cost, the property owners pay 10% of the cost, and the Water Reclamation District pays 10% of the cost, up to the cap of $100,000.” Alderman Fagan corrected the wording by adding that the money is coming from the Water Fund. VOTE Motion passed on roll call vote of 5-3-0. Aye: Fagan, Noreiko, Verbic, Faivre, Marquardt. Nay: Jacobson, Finucane, Smith. Absent: none. Mayor Smith declared the motion passed. MOTION Alderman Finucane moved to amend the original motion by having the TIF fund cover 5% of the remaining 10% of the total cost. Attorney Frieders clarified with Alderman Finucane that he intended for the city to cover 5% of the business owners’ 10% portion of the total cost. Alderman Noreiko seconded the motion. Following an exchange by Mr. Metzger and Alderman Jacobson over the latest motion, Alderman Finucane called the question. The Mayor repeated Alderman Finucane’s motion, and called for the vote. VOTE Regular Meeting Minutes August 27, 2018 Page 14 of 15 Motion passed on roll call vote of 7-1-0. Aye: Noreiko, Verbic, Faivre, Finucane, Marquardt, Fagan, Smith. Nay: Jacobson. City Attorney Frieders noted that the original motion, which was now ready to be voted upon, now contained the amendments that had passed, which included sharing total costs up to $100,000 as follows: 80% out of the city’s water capital funds, 10% from KWRD, 5% from the business property owners, and 5% out of city TIF funds. VOTE Original motion as amended was passed on roll call vote of 7-1-0. Aye: Verbic, Faivre, Finucane, Marquardt, Fagan, Noreiko, Smith. None. Mayor Smith declared the motion passed. H.
