City of Naperville Page 6 Printed on 10/2/2018
City Council Meeting Minutes September 18, 2018
Council discussed parking increases and what number of spaces would have a
meaningful impact.
Louden stated staff has not identified a number that would decrease the waitlist
and not overwhelm the roadway network.
By consensus, Council requested information on the impact that varying levels
of parking would have to the development and roadway network.
Council discussed density and asked if any number less than the proposed 400
units would still maintain the mixed use balance.
Pascoe responded that a change in one area will impact another and that
reducing units will begin to unwrap the barrier blocking the parking deck. He said
it is an iterative process and there will be tradeoffs in the design and character
of the development.
Council discussed commuter parking, flexibility of changing parking to another
purpose in the future, and peak commuter times and driving patterns. Also
discussed was whether the DuPage Children's Museum (DCM) is being
relocated and the need to create a DCM working group, Metra services and train
capacity, the comparison of the Water Street Development and traffic impacts,
and options to address that most commuters come from south Naperville.
Council stated that it gave Ryan Companies a very wide field and the time is
now to give specific directions or to have Ryan come back with more options.
Council discussed specifics to be considered such as the location of DCM, the
appropriate number of parking spaces, mixed use balance, use of PACE bus
system, providing patterns for safe pedestrian networks, and attainable housing.
Jim McDonald, Ryan Companies, explained that it is important to build a
baseline to work from and future options will be modifications to that baseline,
that the options can meet market demand but don't have to, and that there will
be a PUD process to work through. He stated that direction for the next iteration
will consider the Kroehler Lot, the old Public Works parcel, parking costs, that
the plaza in Concept B was preferred, the Parkview Lot, options for attainable
housing, Kendall Park, PACE routes, Burlington Lot, and that the group will
pause on the DCM location to let the working group meet and develop
recommendations.
Council discussed the financial viability of the project, the appropriate balance of
residential and commercial, and the need for a diverse tax base. Council also
discussed putting a placeholder on the DCM property for parking, having the
DCM working group come back in 60 days with a recommendation and, during
that time, Ryan Companies can choose to move forward with suggested
refinements.
A motion was made by Councilwoman Gustin, seconded by Councilman
Krummen, to form a DuPage Children's Museum working group to discuss the
impact of the development and report back with a recommendation within 60
days. The group shall be made up of two members of the City Council, two
members of the DuPage Children's Museum, and subject matter experts as

2. Receive the report on property taxes, debt reduction, and cash reserves as part of the
2019 financial priorities guidance discussions and direct staff accordingly
Krieger gave opening comments and outlined the goals of the conversation,
specifically resource requirements to reach goals and determining Council's
flexibility of financial policies.
Schatz discussed the ends policies and goals, staff's proactive approach to
address indications of declining service levels, the need to add resources to
reach goals, and how the financial principles may be flexed to allow the addition
of resources.
Mayer discussed how property taxes are divided, that the average homeowner
pays $25/year for city services, and the impact of each financial principle on the
2019 budget. She also highlighted the intersection of goals and service levels,
that data is being collected from the phone system to show wait times and call
volumes, that the Financial Advisory Board is reviewing reserve levels and will
provide a recommendation, and that a list of initiatives will be provided to
Council for prioritization.
Krieger offered closing comments and requested direction on flexibility of the
principles.
Council discussed the need for data showing decreased service levels, the
desire to maintain the AAA bond rating, annual debt payments, that residents
are not communicating poor service experiences to them, the appropriateness
of freezing the tax rate and taking advantage of growth, that the debt goal is not
as critical as the others, the need to look for areas to cut, pension payments,
unfunded capital, that efficiencies will be gained through technology initiatives,
and prioritizing the CIP by department.
This Report was received.
