City Council Meeting Minutes March 6, 2018
Mayer gave a presentation focusing on budget projections, how they are
developed, how previous projections have fared, impact of missed
assumptions, policy decision ramifications, projected expenditures and
revenues, property tax rates, future debt service, and the home rule sales tax.
Council discussed impact of home rule sales tax to close the budget gap, when
first receipts will come in, the financial principles, sunset provision, that the
sales tax is discretionary spending and half of the associated revenue comes
from non-Naperville residents, and that the proposed sales tax is still nationally
competitive.
DiSanto explained that the proposed .75% home rule sales tax will sunset in
2020.
Council discussed using the reserve to close the gap would create an
unstructurally balanced budget, the 2015 home rule sales tax amount was
decided against staff and Financial Advisory Board recommendations, the City
is more disciplined by evaluating the budget on an annual basis, an opportunity
to review the financial principles in 2018, that prescription drugs, services,
groceries, and cars are not subject to the tax, and that the property tax rate is
lowest since the 1990's.
Enactment No: ORD 18-022
2. Waive the first reading and pass the ordinance amending Chapter 3, Title 3, Section 11
(Liquor License and Permit Classifications) of the Naperville Municipal Code eliminating
the sunset provision contained within the outdoor seating permit (requires six positive
votes)
Marilyn Schweitzer, Naperville, suggested changes to the proposed ordinance.
Gary D. Smith, spoke against the proposed ordinance and asked that the 5'
pedestrian path be increased to 8'.
Carl Skrabacz, Naperville, spoke in favor of extending the path to 8', asked that
Council consider mobility devices, wheelchairs, blind individuals and guide
dogs, and strollers.
Council discussed outdoor seating, liquor, and permanent vs. semi-permanent
barriers.
Novack responded that Quiubo is the only establishment with a walkway less
than 8'.
Council discussed two of the five establishments using this ordinance, the
appropriateness of an annual review of the ordinance, accessibility concerns,
and the importance of receiving stakeholder input.
Council further discussed that liquor service mandates semi-permanent
containment, this requirement is expensive and may explain why only two
establishments are participating at this time, and that annual review may further

City Council Meeting Minutes March 6, 2018
chill any commitment to invest. Council discussed pedestrian flow, that no
complaints have been received, the ordinance can change without annual
review, that in the past tables were not required to be away from the buildings,
whether variances would be allowed, and that the text amendment simplifies the
process.
DiSanto clarified that petitions for variances would be allowed.
Laff explained the streetscape standards review, that amenity zones include
outdoor seating and liquor, and that a clear pedestrian path, separated from the
amenity zone, serves as a buffer from pedestrian to street.
Spencer Tuzzo, Sullivan's, explained that establishments are hesitant to make
a large investment until a decision is made by the Council.
Council discussed the lease agreement with Quiubo.
