E. REPORTS
1. City Manager Report.
City Manager Nicklas reported on development on the southern most part of
DeKalb, providing status of the progress being made with two interested
parties. He noted that the DCEDC has been helpful and engaged during this
process. Mr. Borek stated that the enterprise zone was very important to both
manufacturers.
City Manager Nicklas also reported that the former O’Leary’s building no longer
had an interested buyer. He also reported that the Egyptian Theatre was still
under construction but moving along, noting that the rainy weather has caused
delays. City Manager Nicklas further stated that the Plaza DeKalb project is
moving along on schedule.

Mr. Duffy reported that the State of the City would be held on October 15, 2019.
He also reported that the “In the Loop” video series regarding the Elburn train
station stop would be released today. He noted that other videos were in the
works, including Route 12 just before the route starts in late October.
Brief discussion ensued. It was suggested that perhaps an “In the Loop” video
could be created regarding the construction and changes in the downtown
area, or perhaps a segment on Northern Illinois University once a month. It was
noted that the “In the Loop” videos regarding the new bus routes could be
shown at the next meeting.
3. DeKalb County Economic Development Corporation Report.
Mr. Borek reported that Solo Tech has begun construction of their office space
located in Park 88, which will enable the company to expand their employment

Mr. Borek also reported on a metal supplier and fabricator that’s considering
sites to purchase that would focus on train rail, as well as a local manufacturer
looking for space to grow and expand.
Brief discussion ensued.
F. OLD BUSINESS
1. Elburn Train Station Transit Service (Route 12).
This service will begin operating at the end of October. It was noted that Council
approved amendments to the agreement the City has with Transdev on
September 23, 2019.
2. South Industrial Park Transit Service (Route 19).
This service will begin operating at the end of October. It was noted that Council
approved amendments to the agreement the City has with Transdev on
September 23, 2019.
3. Business Retention Survey.
Mr. Nicklas noted that while the survey is important, there are no staff to spare
to get it done at this point. Mr. Nicklas stated that he and Mr. Borek worked
together to give the EDC a couple models. Mr. Nicklas stated that at this time
he’s working on business attraction. This item will return to the EDC on the
November 1, 2019 agenda.
Brief discussion ensued regarding the direction of the survey, perhaps with
small retail and restaurants. Mr. Borek stated he would provide a list of the top
20 small businesses in DeKalb to reach out to.
Discussion ensued regarding the data collection process, information that’s
been compiled over the years, how it’s used, goals of the surveys, and
questions that can be moved along to the City Council so policy can be changed
if needed.
Mr. Nicklas noted his observations with building permit issues and the length
of time it was taking to get permits reviewed. He stated he was working on a
plan to speed the reviewing and permitting plan along quickly.
Ms. Edgehill-Walden noted the use of technology and its importance to this
generation of future entrepreneurs, adding that electronic applications should
be able to be submitted. Mr. Nicklas noted it’s a matter of personnel and old
habits, but he’s working on a solution.
Economic Development Commission Meeting Minutes
October 4, 2019
Page 4 of 5
Brief discussion ensued regarding other boards, commissioners or committees
reaching out to businesses. Mr. Nicklas noted that he does, as does Mayor
Smith, but there’s not necessarily a list. He also noted that he speaks to
downtown businesses daily regarding the ongoing construction and assisting
with on the spot issues.
Chair O’Flaherty noted that this item should be made the first topic on the
November 1, 2019 agenda, with a two-step discussion: 1) the EDC could go
out and meet with businesses; and 2) a scientific survey and action on issues
that businesses may be having.
Council Member Morris stated that perhaps the EDC could use a Google doc
to record research and surveys. Discussion ensued.
It was noted that at the November 1, 2019 meeting, all EDC members would
provide five questions to be used on the survey.
Ms. Edghill-Walden stated she would not be present for the November 1, 2019
meeting.
4. Resource Guide.
Discussion regarding this item began with the issue of grant money and if it
exists; it was concluded that it does. It was noted that a follow-up from Transit
Manager Cox is needed. This item will be placed on the November agenda.
Mr. Goltz noted that the backup memo regarding this item Grant noted that
provides ample information.
G. NEW BUSINESS
Mr. Nicklas noted that the City Council would start their review of FY2020 budget
soon, noting he’s heard a lot about the condition of DeKalb’s streets, noting
unfortunately the City doesn’t have a recurring source of funding for repair and a
new revenue source is needed. Mr. Nicklas asked the EDC if they would be
interested in reviewing some capital options. There was consensus that they would.
Mr. Nicklas stated he will provide an update to the EDC at the November meeting.
H. NEXT MEETING
The next meeting of the EDC will be on November 1, 2019.

Route 12 – Daily Service to the Elburn Train Station
The Route 12 began daily shuttle service to the Elburn train station on Monday, October

Pacific West Metra line that operates from Elburn to downtown Chicago with stops in
Geneva, Wheaton, Lombard, Elmhurst, and Oak Park just to name a few.
Community response to the increased service has been overwhelmingly positive, with
nearly 335 rides provided between Monday, October 7th – Sunday, October 20th. 125 of
the 335 rides occurred on the new, additive service. The largest utilization of the Route
12 has occurred between Thursday and Monday with slightly less use Tuesday and
Wednesday.
Full ridership data will be available for the December Economic Development
Commission Meeting.
Route 19 – Transit Service to South DeKalb/Park 88
The Route 19, with service to south DeKalb and Park 88, began service on Monday,

the Park 88 corridor including access to Harvestore Dr., S. 4th St., S. 7th St., and S. 10th
St. The Route 19E (Express) operates from 4:00a – 8:10a, while the Route 19 operates
