Village Manager Johnson thanked Assistant Village Manager Lisa Armour and Economic Development Manager Margo Griffin for their hard work and all the hours dedicated to economic development for the Village of Huntley. Mayor Sass asked if the Village Board had any comments or questions. Trustee Leopold made the following statement: “I think that Staff has done an absolutely incredible job over the past few years in getting us to this position that we’re in and it hasn’t been easy as there are two land owners that think they know better of 01.25.18 VB Minutes 9 what’s good for the residents of our Village than we or the Staff do and they do not hesitate to take cheap shots at us any chance they get. We’ve gotten here despite a lack of cooperation by State agencies; the Health Services Review Board stalled nearly four (4) years to get a hospital here. A ridiculous ICC decision for Commonwealth Edison to put a high-powered line past the Wing Pointe Subdivision rather than the open land of Freeman Road. The animus of State politics; the growing State debt and growing every day. The State skimming of legitimate municipal funds. People leaving the State in droves. I’m thinking the job is going to get harder; I think we need to look at ourselves as an island of stability; of economic prudence; maximizing the limited resources we have for the best possible resident benefit and truly being a friendly community. If you believe in miracles and prayer, now is the time. Less I end up on a very sour negative note, thank you very much for your service for the last many years.” Mayor Sass complimented Trustee Leopold’s statement. Trustee Westberg said “great job staff”. No specific action was required. Staff was seeking and received the Village Board’s input and support for the 2018 Economic Development Strategic Priorities. j) Consideration – Authorization to Engage a Consultant to Conduct a Hotel Market and Feasibility Study Village Manager David Johnson reported that the 2016-2020 Strategic Plan for the Village, as well as the more specific Economic Development Strategic Plan, identifies securing a commitment for the construction of a hotel as an important objective. In addition, comments received through the annual resident survey indicate that residents are more frequently expressing their interest in bringing a hotel to the community to accommodate visiting family and to be a catalyst for attracting additional development. Staff Analysis Staff has had discussions over the past several years with various individuals and entities expressing interest in hotel development. In order to move past the discussion stage, a hotel market and feasibility study is required to determine market support and financial feasibility for a project by providing supply and demand estimates, facility and brand affiliation recommendations, an estimate of capital investment requirements, and financial projections. The feasibility study will look at whether the expected revenues generated in the market analysis sufficiently exceed expected costs. If the study confirms market support and financial feasibility of a hotel, the study can then be shared with potential hotel developers, as this information will be a key component of securing financing. Staff is requesting authorization to engage a consultant to conduct a hotel market and feasibility study. With the Village conducting the study, the results would be owned by the Village and the Village would be able to share the results with interested parties. If done by the individual developer, the study results would not be available to other potential developers. Financial Impact Staff is requesting approval to conduct the hotel market and feasibility study at a cost not to exceed $15,000. The FY2018 budget includes funds in the Development Services Department Line Item 01-70- 2-6487, Economic Development. 01.25.18 VB Minutes 10 Strategic Plan Priority The 2016-2020 Strategic Plan identifies Promote New Business Development, Retention, and Expansion as a priority, and “secure a commitment for the construction of a hotel” as an objective. Mayor Sass asked if the Village Board had any comments or questions. Trustee Westberg asked what parameters the consultant looks at and would it include the number of residents, people traveling, the school district and IHSA; Village Manager Johnson stated that all that mentioned would be part of it but it would be also a more regional study looking at the number of hotels in the market and the number of nights the hotel rooms are utilized; the demographics; and, the potential cost for such a project. There were no other comments or questions. A MOTION was made to authorize the engagement of a Consultant to Conduct a Hotel Feasibility Study.
