AGENDA ITEM: A MEETING DATE: April 22, 2026 ITEM: Performing Artist Contracting Procedures—Ordinance Amending Chapter 5.18, Entitled “Leases for Designated City Facilities and Performance Contracts,” of the Elgin Municipal Code (No Cost) OBJECTIVE: Revise the city’s procurement process for performing artists to reflect current operations, indus- try standards and the full range of locations where events are produced by the department of cultural arts and special events. RECOMMENDATION: Adopt the ordinance amending Chapter 5.18 of the Elgin Municipal Code to reflect current oper- ations, industry standards, and the full range of locations where events are produced by the de- partment of cultural arts and special events. The proposed amendments to Chapter 5.18 of the procurements ordinance (Title 5 of the Elgin Municipal Code) revise the city’s procurement process for performing artists to reflect current operations, industry standards, and the full range of locations where events are produced by the Department of Cultural Arts and Special Events (DCASE). The amendments expressly authorize the existing process for all locations hosting events produced by DCASE, allowing staff to finalize agreements and issue deposits to performers in a timely manner. This change improves the city’s ability to secure talent, maintain flexibility across venues and continue delivering high-quality arts and cultural programming. BACKGROUND Chapter 5.18 of the Elgin Municipal Code, entitled “Leases for Designated City Facilities and Per- formance Contracts,” was amended in 1997 to establish a process for negotiating and executing agreements with performing artists at the Hemmens Cultural Center, Wing Park Bandshell and Lords Park Pavilion. Since that time, the city’s arts and cultural programming has grown significantly. Today, the de- partment produces events across multiple venues throughout the community, including parks, Downtown spaces and other city properties. The current code, which is limited to specific loca- tions, no longer reflects how arts and cultural programming is delivered. Updating Chapter 5.18 1 provides a consistent and formalized framework for executing artist agreements across all loca- tions where events are produced by the Department of Cultural Arts and Special Events (DCASE). OPERATIONAL ANALYSIS Performing artists and their agencies require strict confidentiality during contract negotiations and prohibit public announcements until agreements are fully executed. In addition, artists often book tour schedules well in advance, requiring timely execution of agreements and payment of deposits to secure performance dates. The current municipal code only expressly authorizes the city’s contracting process to specific locations: the Hemmens Cultural Center, Wing Park Bandshell and Lords Park Pavillion. These three venues do not include the full range of venues now used for city events. The venue limita- tion reduces flexibility in negotiating and securing performers across multiple locations and limits staff’s ability to respond efficiently to booking opportunities. Departing from the existing approval processes under Chapter 5.18 could require public disclo- sure before agreements are finalized, a conflict with standard performance industry practices. The ability to complete agreements and issue deposits swiftly is what confirms tour routes and artist participation. These constraints limit the city’s ability to secure performers and align with typical booking timelines. The proposed amendments remove location-specific limitations and extend the existing con- tracting process to all venues managed by DCASE. This allows staff to execute agreements in a timely manner while maintaining current legal and financial review procedures. The amendments align the municipal code with current operations and industry standards, sup- porting the city’s ability to continue delivering high-quality arts and cultural programming. INTERESTED PERSONS CONTACTED None. FINANCIAL ANALYSIS All agreements will continue being reviewed by the chief financial officer (the current procedure) to ensure all DCASE expenses for performing artists are consistent with the city’s adopted budget. BUDGET IMPACT None. 2 FUND(S) ACCOUNT(S) PROJECT #(S) ESTIMATED AMOUNT BUDGET AVAILABLE N/A N/A N/A N/A N/A LEGAL IMPACT None. ALTERNATIVES The city council may choose to not amend Chapter 5.18 of the Elgin Municipal Code. This action will negatively impact the city’s ability to secure talent, maintain flexibility across venues and continue delivering high-quality arts and cultural programming. NEXT STEPS Adopt the proposed ordinance amending Chapter 5.18, entitled “Leases for Designated City Fa- cilities and Performance Contracts,” of the Elgin Municipal Code.

Kaptain, Mayor Presented: Passed: Vote: Yeas Nays: Recorded: Published: Attest: Kimberly A. Dewis, City Clerk 2 AGENDA ITEM: B MEETING DATE: April 22, 2026 ITEM: Amendments to the 2025 Budget Consistent with the Illinois Municipal Budget Law (No Cost) OBJECTIVE: Provide budget amendments to reflect actual financial activity undertaken within the 2025 budget. RECOMMENDATION: Adopt the proposed amendments to the 2025 budget. The city’s annual budgets are prepared using revenue estimates and expenditure recommenda- tions. This inherently speculative nature of budgeting makes it impossible to predict with com- plete accuracy the funding levels necessary for the coming fiscal year. The Illinois Municipal Budget Law requires the approval of year-end adjustments that reflect the actual financial and programmatic changes approved by the city council during the budget year. By amending the city budget in a retroactive fashion, the adjusted budget can reflect the actual funding requirements needed by the city. Amendments are required if the actual revenue or expenditure exceeds what was budgeted for the fiscal year. Under budget items are not normally amended. The most sig- nificant amendments have been previously reported to the city council. BACKGROUND Budget amendments are brought before the city council each year for consideration as required by the Illinois Municipal Budget Law. These adjustments are necessary to implement city council decisions made during the year and to reflect actual financial and programmatic changes that have occurred. While much of this information has been previously reported to the city council, this memorandum is designed to provide supplemental information regarding the proposed amendments to the 2025 Budget. OPERATIONAL ANALYSIS The annual budget must be adopted by the city council prior to the beginning of the fiscal year. The speculative nature of budgeting makes it impossible to predict with complete accuracy the 1 funding levels necessary at the fiscal year’s inception. Because the budget is prepared using rev- enue estimates and expenditure recommendations, it must be amended to reflect the actual fi- nancial activity undertaken during the year. By amending the city budget in a retroactive fashion, the adjusted budget can reflect the actual funding requirements needed by the city. Amendments are required if the actual revenue or ex- penditure exceeds what was budgeted for the fiscal year. For example, if a fund cost center ex- pends over its budgeted amount, it is amended. When it comes in under budget, it is normally not amended. The city adopts budgets for seven fund types, and each is reviewed and considered for budget amendments: • General Fund • Special Revenue Funds • Debt Service Fund • Capital Improvement Funds • Enterprise Funds • Internal Service Funds • Trust and Agency Funds Amendments to the 2025 Budget The following chart identifies the recommended amendments to the 2025 Budget. These amend- ments reflect the budget adjustments made throughout the course of the year. The analysis pro- vided for the adjustments in each fund type is not intended to be exhaustive, but rather to illu- minate the major components of the required adjustments. General Fund GENERAL FUND Original Amended Budget Budget Adjustment Note Total Revenues $176,843,030 $195,853,000 $19,009,970 1 Expenditures by department: Mayor and Council 293,410 293,460 50 City Clerk 362,050 362,050 0 Office of the City Manager 2,094,920 2,094,870 (50) 311 Center 1,038,420 1,036,620 (1,800) Economic Development 1,989,800 1,989,800 0 Legal 1,281,450 1,281,450 0 Boards/Commissions 554,920 623,320 68,400 2 Finance 2,897,100 2,912,170 15,070 Human Resources 1,877,290 1,912,670 35,380 3 Information Technology Systems 2,156,400 2,156,400 0 Purchasing 572,380 569,500 (2,880) 2 Neighborhood Services 3,420,970 3,421,060 90 Community Development 2,438,350 2,456,200 17,850 Police 62,510,970 63,234,410 723,440 4 Fire 38,188,670 38,369,490 180,820 5 Building Maintenance 3,997,120 3,999,120 2,000 Public Works 23,785,420 26,256,630 2,471,210 6 Cultural Arts & Special Events 4,634,300 4,982,250 347,950 7 Non-Departmental 13,398,500 28,550,940 15,152,440 8 Financing Transfers 8,750,000 8,750,000 0 Total Expenditures $176,242,440 $195,252,410 $19,009,970 The majority of the budget adjustments are made within the General Fund. It should be noted that many of the budget adjustment requests involve expenditure line items within the same division and department. In these instances, the department’s total budget allocation remains unchanged. Explanations for all departmental adjustments totaling more than $25,000 are pro- vided below. 1. Revenue adjustments were made in the amount of $19,009,970. Adjustments totaling $874,000 were made to reflect the use of escrow funds. Funds are placed in escrow accounts when they are designated for future expenditures and require a budget adjustment so the funds can be spent. Most significantly, escrowed transportation impact fees, in the amount of $772,000, were used to fund a road pro- ject. Additional examples of escrow funds include funds set aside for sanitary sewer review by engineering firms, funds for police department programs and public safety impact fees. The budget was also adjusted to reflect the use of general fund reserves, in the amount of $1,551,000, to provide funding for the environmental cleanup of a city property. In addition, revenue budgets increased $837,000 for grant revenues for a subaward from the Association for Individual Development and $400,000 for a grant from Kane County American Rescue Plan funds, both for reimbursement of expenses related to rehousing individuals. Additionally, refuse revenue was increased due to increased billings and expenditures for refuse disposal. The remainder of the adjustments are the result of purchase orders rolled from 2024. The need to roll purchase orders is the result of two circumstances. The first situation relates to projects approved by Council, late in the year, after the next year’s budget has been prepared, necessitating this type of budget adjustment. In addition, projects are occasionally estimated to be completed in the current year, but delays in complet- ing the projects require that a budget adjustment be made to carry the project over to the next fiscal year. 3 2. The original budget for Boards and Commissions was increased to roll forward a por- tion of the 2024 budget for the Human Relations Commission and for ticket sales and donations for the Martin Luther King celebration. 3. The Human Resources department budget was increased for the annual subscription for the human capital management system that centralizes and automates human resource functions. General Fund contingency funding was transferred from the non- departmental budget. 4. The Police department budget was increased for training reimbursements, the award of the Department of Justice Edward Byrne Memorial grant and for the Kids United program which reflects the use of escrow funds set aside for this program. Corre- sponding revenue adjustments were made for these three items. The remainder of the adjustments are the result of purchase orders rolled from 2024. 5. The Fire department budget was increased for training reimbursements and dona- tions. A fire station location study was funded by the sale of obsolete radios. Corre- sponding revenue adjustments were made to utilize funding from the training reim- bursements, donations and from the sale of obsolete fire department radios. The re- mainder of the adjustments are the result of purchase orders rolled from 2024. 6. The increase to the Public Works budget is primarily due to increased refuse disposal charges which are offset by corresponding increases in revenue. Additional increases were made to reflect the receipt of an Illinois Department of Natural Resources grant for forestry and the use of escrow fees for sanitary sewer reviews. The remainder of the adjustments are the result of purchase orders rolled from 2024. 7. The department of Cultural Arts and Special Events budget was increased for expend- itures for the Short Film Festival and Summer Theatre. A corresponding revenue ad- justment was made to reflect the receipt of sponsorships and the use of funds held in escrow. In addition, contingency funding from the non-departmental budget was transferred for the purchase of additional mobile wedge barriers for pedestrian safety at community events. The remainder of the adjustments are the result of purchase orders rolled from 2024. 8. The General Fund's “non-departmental” category includes expenditures that are not directly related to the operations of other departments and capital purchases. Exam- ples of costs charged to this category include employee programs, lobbyist fees, an allocation for property insurance and banking and agency fees. In addition, this cate- gory includes the General Fund's contingency account. Adjustments reducing the con- tingency line item are completed when transfers are processed to cover expenditures in other departments. 4 The non-departmental budget was increased to reflect the use of general fund re- serves, in the amount of $1,551,000, to provide funding for the clean-up of a city prop- erty. In addition, the amended budget includes an increase, in the amount of $500,000, to contractual services to reflect the use of transportation impact fees for the US Route 20 Reinking Road improvement project. The budget was also increased for expenditures related to the housing of persons experiencing homelessness which were partially funded by Kane County American Rescue Plan funds ($400,000) and by a sub-award through the Association of Individual Development under the Unshel- tered Pilot Project ($$837,200). These three items were offset by revenue adjust- ments. The remainder of the adjustments, totaling approximately $11.9 million, are the result of purchase orders rolled from 2024. Much of this amount, $10.9 million, is for the construction at the Sports Complex which carried into 2025. The remaining $1.0 mil- lion is for purchase orders for the continuing road work at U.S. 20 and Longcommon Parkway, an economic incentive payment for an agreement with Judson University and historic rehabilitation grants. The need to roll purchase orders is the result of two circumstances. The first situation relates to projects approved by Council, late in the year, after the next year’s budget has been prepared, necessitating this type of budget adjustment. In addition, projects are occasionally estimated to be completed in the current year, but delays in completing the projects require that a budget adjustment be made to carry the project over to the next fiscal year. Special Revenue Funds SPECIAL REVENUE FUNDS Original Adjusted Adjustment Notes Budget Budget Revenues $71,244,880 $80,654,030 $9,409,150 1 Expenditures $82,261,920 $91,671,070 $9,409,150 2 Special revenue funds are established to account for specific resources (other than expendable trusts or major capital projects) that are legally restricted to expenditures for specified purposes. 1. The original revenue budget for the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) was increased $1.6 million to use deferred revenues for eligible projects. Revenues within the Drug Asset Forfeiture fund increased $300,000 to recognize the use of deferred revenues that had been assigned to future purchases. Bluff City TIF revenue increased $267,000 to reflect the increased property tax receipts. The remaining adjustments to the spe- cial revenue budgets were the result of rolling over purchase orders from the prior year to the current budget year. 2. ARPA budgeted expenditures increased to fund lead service line replacement and combined sewer separation projects. The expenditure budgets within the Drug Asset 5 Forfeiture funds were adjusted to account for police department equipment pur- chases. The expenditures for the Bluff City TIF were increased to provide funding for a redevelopment agreement with Bluff City Materials. Purchase order rollovers ac- count for the remaining adjustments to the special revenue expenditure budgets. Debt Service Fund DEBT SERVICE FUND Original Adjusted Adjustment Notes Budget Budget Revenues $1,975,500 $1,975,500 $0 Expenditures $1,987,500 $1,987,500 $0 The debt service fund accounts for the accumulation and payment of the principal and interest on long-term debt. Capital Improvement Funds CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT FUNDS Original Adjusted Adjustment Notes Budget Budget Revenues $10,628,520 $36,496,940 $25,868,420 1 Expenditures $11,192,840 $37,061,260 $25,868,420 1 Capital improvement funds are used to account for the acquisition and construction of major capital facilities and infrastructure other than those financed by enterprise funds. These projects normally span more than one year. In any given year, the budget may be much higher than what is actually spent due to changing work schedules that can delay a project into the following fiscal year. In these instances, the subsequent year’s expenditure is greater than anticipated and re- quires budget adjustments. 1. The adjustments to revenue and expenditures within the capital improvement funds are the result of rolling over purchase orders from the prior year to the current budget year. Projects, anticipated to be completed in 2024, were completed in 2025 requir- ing an adjustment to the budget. 6 Enterprise Funds ENTERPRISE FUNDS Original Adjusted Adjustment Notes Budget Budget Revenues $50,633,730 $67,916,940 $17,283,210 1 Expenditures $55,888,630 $73,171,840 $17,283,210 1 Enterprise funds account for operations that are financed and operated in a manner similar to private business where the intent is that the costs of providing goods or services to the general public be financed or recovered primarily through user charges. 1. Adjustments, within the utility fund, to revenue and expenditure budgets were made as a result of carrying over the outstanding balance of open purchase orders created in 2024. In addition, adjustments were made to revenue and expenditures in the util- ity fund to recognize the receipt of a $7.9 million interest free loan from the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency for lead service line replacements.

(Not to Exceed $83,000) OBJECTIVE: Provide the annual Fourth of July and La Fiesta de Elgin fireworks displays for Elgin residents and visitors. RECOMMENDATION: Award the purchase of service agreement to MIAND, Inc. for Fourth of July and La Fiesta de Elgin fireworks. Elgin hosts two signature community events each year for which fireworks are provided: the Fourth of July celebration and La Fiesta de Elgin. The Fourth of July event features a parade, con- cert and family activities at Festival Park. La Fiesta de Elgin, held in September at Festival Park, celebrates Mexican Independence Day through music, culture, and community engagement. Both events draw thousands to the downtown to celebrate. Staff is recommending awarding the purchase of service agreement for the Fourth of July fire- works and La Fiesta de Elgin to MIAND, Inc. d/b/a Mad Bomber Fireworks Production. BACKGROUND Elgin hosts two signature community events each year that bring residents and visitors together in celebration of culture, community, and civic pride: the Fourth of July Celebration and La Fiesta de Elgin. The Fourth of July Celebration is a longstanding tradition that draws approximately 10,000 to 12,000 attendees to downtown Elgin each year. The day’s festivities include a vibrant community parade, and a concert at Festival Park, both of which attract audiences of all ages. The event also highlights local food and drink vendors, a pie-eating contest and many other fan favorites includ- ing vintage games, giant Lite-Brite and more. The celebration culminates in a highly anticipated fireworks display along the riverfront, widely regarded as the highlight of the evening, which is enjoyed not only within Festival Park but also by spectators gathered throughout the surrounding downtown and riverfront areas. La Fiesta de Elgin, held each September at Festival Park, is a dynamic cultural celebration recog- nizing Mexican Independence Day which continues to grow in both size and regional appeal. The event now welcomes approximately 8,000 to 10,000 attendees and features internationally known live musical acts, traditional cultural performances, authentic cuisine, and family-friendly activities. Like the Fourth of July Celebration, La Fiesta de Elgin brings together local vendors, draws diverse crowds, and relies on strong partnerships with community organizations to deliver a meaningful and inclusive experience. The evening concludes with a vibrant fireworks display that serves as the ultimate culmination of the event, enjoyed by attendees both at Festival Park and from vantage points throughout the surrounding area. Together, these events enhance the quality of life in Elgin, support local businesses, strengthen community identity and contribute to the city’s reputation as a vibrant and welcoming destina- tion—all objectives outlined within the city’s adopted strategic plan. OPERATIONAL ANALYSIS The city is responsible for coordinating event logistics, including securing vendors, managing event operations, and overseeing public safety. For the Fourth of July celebration and La Fiesta de Elgin, this includes the fireworks display, event advertising, permitting, and coordination with police, fire, and public works. The fireworks display will continue to be launched from the Na- tional Street Bridge and will run approximately 20–25 minutes for the Fourth of July and 15-20 minutes for La Fiesta de Elgin. Staff is recommending entering into an agreement with MIAND, Inc. Their mission is to make every show a work of art. They have over twenty years of experience, proven techniques, ad- vanced technology, large inventory of manufacturers, test their products, assess their equipment and train their operators to ensure a safe setup and firing display. MIAND, Inc. is available for the Fourth of July and La Fiesta de Elgin event at a cost not to exceed $83,000. Staff worked with the vendor to determine the viability of including a drone show as part of the Fourth of July fireworks display. Staff was advised in late 2025 that this was possible in a variety of ways including drones with fireworks on them or drone displays with the fireworks. Staff has since been notified that the drones with the fireworks capabilities built on them are delayed by manufacturing. The inclusion of drones among the fireworks requires pausing the fireworks show to display the drones, disrupting the fireworks show multiple times and resulting in two display locations: National Street Bridge for the fireworks, and near the Metra train line for the drones. Understanding the overwhelming positive response to the Fourth of July fireworks, staff made the determination that pausing the fireworks show for drones would not add to the experience but rather detract from it while also increasing cost. 2 INTERESTED PERSONS CONTACTED Upon approval, key stakeholders including Grand Victoria Casino, Metra and Pace will be notified. Residents and businesses within the fireworks “fall zone,” as well as those impacted by road clo- sures, will be informed through mailings and public communications. FINANCIAL ANALYSIS The city council in 2025 approved a contract with the option to renew it for up to two additional years, pending an acceptable performance in the previous year and an appropriate proposal for the current year. MIAND, Inc. was professional and accommodating in previous years, as well as in 2025 and submitted an appropriate proposal for 2026 which was approved by the necessary city departments. The amount of $83,000 has been budgeted for the Fourth of July and La Fiesta de Elgin fireworks display. The total amount of $83,000 is broken down as such: $56,000 for the Fourth of July fire- works and $27,000 for La Fiesta de Elgin fireworks. BUDGET IMPACT FUND ACCOUNT PROJECT # AMOUNT AMOUNT BUDGETED AVAILABLE General 010-5404-769.45-00 710274 & $83,000 $83,000 710279 LEGAL IMPACT The approval of this purchase requires an exception to the procurement ordinance, requiring the approval of two-thirds of the members of the city council. ALTERNATIVES The city council may choose not to award MIAND, Inc. the agreement for Fourth of July and La Fiesta de Elgin fireworks and subsequently not hold a fireworks display as part of either celebra- tion. NEXT STEPS Once the contract is awarded staff will issue a purchase order and finalize operational planning. 3 Originators: Selena Tapia, Special Events Manager Amanda Harris, Cultural Arts & Special Events Director Final Review: Debra Nawrocki, Chief Financial Officer Christopher J.

In the beginning we quickly earned the reputation as someone who catered to smaller customers that other fireworks companies would dictate terms to. We would not lose customers once we had them. It was always going above and beyond the call of duty that we were able to compete with the big family companies that dominated the fireworks industry and had the benefit of generations of loyal customers. We approached growth cautiously while not losing sight of what had put us above the crowd for our clients. Today we produce around 500 displays a year throughout the Midwest. We produce traditional, electric fired, choreographed to music, computer fired, indoor and close proximity displays. We have eight full time employees. Summer have another ten to twelve college students who work. Near Forth of July we again ramp up for our displays with 400-500 workers producing displays throughout the Midwest.

RECOMMENDATION: Award a contract to MTJ Sports of Kewanee, Illinois for the repair and resurfacing of the basket- ball and tennis courts at Heritage, Copper Springs and Clifford Owasco Parks. The city in late 2022 conducted a comprehensive evaluation of its tennis and basketball courts. The assessment revealed widespread maintenance needs, including crack repairs and the reap- plication of surface color coatings. While many courts were found to require only routine mainte- nance, several were identified as being in advanced stages of deterioration and in need of more extensive rehabilitation. The tennis courts and basketball courts at Heritage, Copper Springs and Clifford Owasco Parks exhibited larger cracks requiring more extensive repairs, though not to the extent of needing full reconstruction. The base structure of all courts remains sound, with level playing surfaces intact. This maintenance work is recommended to prevent more costly full reconstructions in the future and is scheduled for completion by the end of November 2026. BACKGROUND In the fall of 2022, the city conducted a comprehensive evaluation of its tennis and basketball courts to assess their condition and identify maintenance priorities. The assessment revealed widespread needs across the system, including crack repairs and the reapplication of surface color coatings. While many courts were found to require only routine upkeep, several were iden- tified as being in advanced stages of deterioration, necessitating more substantial rehabilitation efforts. At Heritage Park, the tennis and basketball courts were installed in 2011, and the basketball courts at Copper Springs date back to 2009. Since their initial construction, all locations have received periodic maintenance, primarily limited to crack sealing as issues have arisen. These courts continue to be popular amenities, providing residents with opportunities for recreation, fitness, and outdoor activity. Recent inspections indicate that these facilities now require more comprehensive preventative maintenance. In addition to ongoing routine care, both locations need extensive crack sealing, resurfacing, and re-coloring to address existing wear and prevent further degradation. If left un- addressed, the condition of these courts is likely to decline rapidly, potentially leading to full sur- face reconstruction—an effort that could cost an estimated $130,000 or more per tennis court and $70,000 per basketball court. OPERATIONAL ANALYSIS Maintaining a smooth playing surface on the city’s tennis and basketball courts is essential to ensuring a high-quality recreational experience, comparable to facilities found elsewhere. Une- ven or damaged surfaces can lead to injuries and disruption of play, particularly at higher levels of recreational use. A poor experience on city courts may discourage future use of park facilities and contribute to a negative view of the city’s ability to maintain its recreational amenities. Like road pavement, the courts are subject to seasonal freeze-thaw cycles. Water seeps into small cracks, freezes during winter, and expands, causing surface heaving and further degradation. This cycle accelerates the cracking process and contributes to long-term surface damage. To address these issues, the proposed resurfacing of the Heritage Park tennis courts and basket- ball courts at Clifford Owasco Park will include cleaning the surface, filling hairline cracks, leveling low areas, and thoroughly cleaning and sealing larger cracks, as well as grinding down heaving fence bases. A thick crack-filling material will be applied to bind the sides of the cracks, followed by a fresh color coating and new playing lines. Pickleball lines will also be added at the tennis courts. The crack repair product includes a one-year manufacturer’s warranty. The basketball courts at Heritage and Copper Springs Parks require removal of the existing as- phalt, leveling and regrading and will finish with new paving and color coating. Weather permit- ting, the entire project is expected to take six to seven weeks and will be completed by the end of November 2025. INTERESTED PERSONS CONTACTED None. FINANCIAL ANALYSIS The annual repair and maintenance of basketball and tennis courts is provided for in the adopted 2026 budget for the Riverboat Fund. 2 BUDGET IMPACT FUND(S) ACCOUNT(S) PROJECT #(S) AMOUNT AMOUNT BUDGETED AVAILABLE Riverboat 275-0000-791.93-90 275012 $125,000 $125,000 LEGAL IMPACT MTJ Sports is an active partner with OMNIA Partners, and the city benefits from the services provided through this partnership. OMNIA Partners is a cooperative purchasing group that com- petitively bids its services on a national scale. This collaboration enables both public and private entities to obtain services without the need for separate bidding, as the national bidding process is already conducted through OMNIA Partners. The city’s procurement ordinance expressly au- thorizes “purchases made pursuant to any joint purchasing program sponsored by the state or other governmental agency or association.” ALTERNATIVES 1. The city council may choose not to award the project to MTJ Sports and opt for staff to bid this project. 2. The city council may choose to do nothing at this time and postpone the necessary basketball and tennis court resurfacing, resulting in advanced degradation of the courts. NEXT STEPS 1.

RECOMMENDATION: Approve the purchase of replacement bridge decking materials from Contech Engineered Solu- tions, LLC. Staff have identified four pedestrian bridges, including those located at Walton Island and along the Downtown bike path system, with decking that has significantly deteriorated due to age and environmental exposure. This decking was last replaced approximately twelve years ago. These bridges are critical connectors within the city’s trail network and experience consistent daily use. Contech Engineered Solutions is the original manufacturer of the bridges maintained by the city and serves as the sole source for the specialized repair and maintenance components required to preserve their structural integrity. The proposed purchase includes replacement of approximately 372 Douglas fir treated wood planks, along with all required fastening hardware and hold-down systems. BACKGROUND The pedestrian bridges included in this project were constructed over ten years ago and utilize treated wood decking as the primary walking surface. These bridges provide essential connectiv- ity between parks, trails, and downtown amenities and are heavily utilized by residents and visi- tors. Over time, the decking boards have been subjected to continuous wear from foot traffic and prolonged exposure to moisture, temperature fluctuations, and ultraviolet degradation. As a re- sult, many of the boards have begun to crack, warp, and deteriorate, reducing their structural integrity and creating uneven walking surfaces. Routine maintenance has been performed as needed; however, the current condition of the decking has advanced beyond the point where spot repairs are effective. Contech Engineered Solutions is the original manufacturer of the bridges maintained by the city and serves as the sole source for the specialized repair and maintenance components required to preserve their struc- tural integrity. Full replacement of the decking boards is necessary to restore safe and reliable use of these structures. OPERATIONAL ANALYSIS Maintaining safe pedestrian infrastructure is a core responsibility in supporting the city’s park and trail system. The existing degraded decking presents trip hazards and potential safety risks for users. Wood bridge decking is particularly susceptible to deterioration from water infiltration and freeze-thaw cycles. Moisture penetrates the wood fibers and expands during freezing conditions, accelerating cracking and board failure. Fasteners can also loosen over time, further contributing to instability. The proposed project will replace all existing decking boards with new treated Douglas fir planks and install upgraded fastening systems to improve long-term performance. This will provide a smooth, stable walking surface and significantly reduce ongoing maintenance needs. Addressing these deficiencies now will help prevent damage to the underlying bridge structures and avoid significantly higher costs associated with structural repairs or full bridge replacement. INTERESTED PERSONS CONTACTED None. FINANCIAL ANALYSIS The repair and maintenance of pedestrian bridges is provided for in the adopted 2026 budget for the Park Development Fund.

The city council may choose not to approve the purchase and continue performing limited repairs, which will not adequately address safety concerns. 2. The city council may defer the project, resulting in further deterioration and increased risk of injury and more costly future repairs. NEXT STEPS 1. Approve purchase of bridge decking materials from Contech Engineered Solutions LLC. 2. Schedule delivery and coordinate installation by city staff.

REV. 11/24 AGENDA ITEM: F MEETING DATE: April 22, 2026 ITEM: Police Department Cold Case Unit—Office Renovations and Technology Improvements ($131,870) OBJECTIVE: Renovate existing office space within the police department to house the recently created Cold Case Unit that will reflect modern policing needs to include updated technology and a collabora- tive workspace. RECOMMENDATION: Approve the contracts with ODP Business Solutions, LLC for the purchase of office furniture and with Midwest Computer Products, Inc. for the purchase of technology-related items and with Leopardo Construction, Inc. for structural renovations in the office space. The police department formed the “Cold Case Unit” in 2024. This unit identifies and researches cold cases in the pursuit of justice and closure for victims and their families. These cases often require significant time and resources along with organizational and administrative support to ensure case review and investigative goals and objectives are met. The unit has recently ex- panded, adding another cold case detective and sergeant to the unit and the need for a cohesive workspace where all members of the unit can occupy now exists. The department is seeking to renovate existing office space to house the unit that will improve efficiency and better position the unit for current and future service demands. BACKGROUND In early 2024, the police department formed the “Cold Case Unit” with the purpose of identifying and researching cold cases in the pursuit of justice and closure for victims and their families. These cases often require significant time and resources, along with organizational and adminis- trative support to ensure case review and investigative goals and objectives are met. Currently the department has 47 cold cases that include homicide and missing person cases that have re- mained unsolved for at least three years. Modern forensic technology and investigative methods now allow for new evidence to be uncovered that was not possible in the past, and as a result a concerted effort has been made to provide the necessary resources for this unit so that there can be successful outcomes for these cases. The department has also focused on public outreach regarding these cases to generate leads and as part of this effort launched a podcast called Somebody Knows Something which discusses and reviews Elgin’s cold cases and seeks information from the public. In November 2024, the Cold Case Unit began investigating the 1983 disappearance of Karen Schepers. Several generations of law enforcement investigated her disappearance without suc- cess, and in March of 2025, the Cold Case Unit was able to solve this case when she and her vehicle were located in the Fox River, providing her family with long awaited answers they had been desperately seeking. This case highlighted the need for additional resources for the Cold Case Unit to include personnel. In late 2025, another detective and sergeant were added to the unit to provide these necessary resources. The unit does not currently have a dedicated work area, and with the expansion of the unit, the department is seeking to renovate an existing office space to house the unit that will reflect modern policing needs that include updated technology and a collaborative workspace. OPERATIONAL ANALYSIS As the Cold Case Unit has expanded, and with their involvement in high profile cases, collabora- tion with outside agencies, and evolving staffing, the department has determined that a dedi- cated work area would improve efficiency and better position the unit for current and future service demands. The selected vendors for this project are ODP Business Solutions, LLC for office furniture, to in- clude worksurfaces, chairs, and cabinetry, Midwest Computer Products, Inc. for technology-re- lated items to include an interactive display system with video conferencing capabilities, and Leopardo Construction, Inc., who will be responsible for the structural renovations including demolition. ODP Business Solutions LLC sets its pricing through Omnia Partners, a cooperative purchasing organization, Midwest Computer Products, Inc. sets its pricing through a Kane County Joint Purchasing Agreement, and Leopardo Construction, Inc. pricing is set through a job order contract. INTERESTED PERSONS CONTACTED None. FINANCIAL ANALYSIS Funding for this purchase will be made using drug asset forfeiture funds. The associated costs from each vendor are as follows with a total cost of $131,870. 2 • ODP Business Solutions, LLC-Office Workspace Furniture- Worksurfaces, Chairs, and Cab- inetry $42,194 (Omnia Partners) • Midwest Computer Products, Inc. - Technology Related Items- Interactive Display System with Video Conferencing Capabilities $41,283 (Kane County Joint Purchase Agreement RFP 33-019) • Leopardo Construction, Inc.- Structural Renovations - $48,393 (Job Order Contract) BUDGET IMPACT FUND(S) ACCOUNT(S) PROJECT AMOUNT AMOUNT #(S) BUDGETED AVAILABLE Drug Asset Forfeiture 250-3000-791.92-44 250033 $131,870 $131,870 LEGAL IMPACT The purchases for this project are being made pursuant to joint purchasing programs or cooper- atives. The city’s procurement ordinance expressly authorizes “purchases made pursuant to any joint purchasing program sponsored by the state or other governmental agency or association.” ALTERNATIVES The city council may choose not to award the project to ODP Business Solutions, LLC, Midwest Computer Products, Inc., and Leopardo Construction, Inc., and the police department will con- tinue with the current model in place for the Cold Case Unit.
