COMMENTS SUBMITTED ONLINE AND READ BY STAFF
Bill Simon - COMMENT ONLY
First of all, I would like to THANK all of our first responders, city utilities workers, and
others -- most especially, our hospital workers who are fighting the coronavirus for the
rest of us. The March 31st show of NPR’s “Morning Edition” prompts my questions about
what steps the City of Naperville is taking to protect the city’s critical utilities workers
from exposure to COVID-19. The show described how Des Moines, Iowa has been
sequestering their drinking water treatment plant operators inside their plant's fence line
in order to prevent their exposure to COVID-19. The story also mentioned similar steps at
a water treatment plant in Carlsbad, California, a city slightly smaller than Naperville. In
Naperville, our highly-trained utilities workers not only operate and maintain our water and
wastewater systems, but also our power distribution systems, all critical to our everyday
personal and economic lives. We citizens would like to know, what steps have been
implemented to prevent COVID-19 community exposure to these critical personnel? What
steps remain to be taken if, and when, the local COVID-19 situation worsens?
Krieger responded that all departments have changed operations in order to comply with
social distancing and personal protection guidelines.
Ajay Buti - COMMENT ONLY
All forest preserves should be shut down. Last week the one on Plainfield Naperville road
was packed and that does not bode well for what we are all trying to achieve. In addition,
all parks should be closed also.
Chirico responded that the City has partnered with the Forest Preserve and Park District
representatives to encourage recreating while complying with social distancing directives.
Gerald Roethel - COMMENT ONLY
What contingent measures are planned, or in place, to expand local hospital capacity, if
needed during the current health emergency? Is leadership from the “Naperville
Emergency Management Agency” professionals a part of the city’s plan to manage the
current emergency?
Puknaitis explained that the City is in constant communication with Edward Hospital and
plans remain flexible in order to change as circumstances dictate. He also discussed the
appropriateness of utilizing the NEMA volunteers.
Afshin - COMMENT ONLY
Nuisance should be taken very seriously. Your current city ordinance rules doesn't help
or makes it much harder for an officer to deal with a nuisance complaint. For example,
dog barking is one them that a police officer is not allowed to handle but has to forward
the complaint to the city's animal control department. It makes the situation complicated
when the animal control department is closed and the officer refuses to contact the home
owner! You need to fix this!

Jennifer Bruzan Taylor - COMMENT ONLY
Governor Pritzker’s Orders from March 16th and April 1st only suspend the rules as to
those on City Council needing to have a physical quorum and allowing remote
participation by those on City Council. The Orders do not suspend any of the rules
regarding the meetings to be equally accessible to the entire general public and allow
public comment. Having the meeting over Zoom, or any internet platform, does not meet
the Open Meeting Act requirements. First of all, to participate a member of the general
public (1) needs internet access and (2) feel comfortable using a new software program.
With how much technology is part of our lives, it is easy to forget that there are many
people who either cannot afford access to the internet and/or are too intimidated to try to
use it. Oftentimes, but not always, these tend to be our retirees. Do not take my word for
it, here is a link to an article that about 10% of the US population choose not to have
internet service. https://www.allconnect.com/blog/33-million-americans-dont-use-internet

data=ilSG2JaHiCwn%2F3IzJ8qGrItPQvBWom8rFVj0VxFBlo4%3D&reserved=0> By
having the meeting over Zoom, these individuals are being prevented from utilizing their
legal right under the Open Meetings Act of participating in today's meeting. Now, as to
the fact that the only way to view the meeting is by (1) over the cable TV station or (2)
streaming over the internet. Again, those who cannot afford cable and internet, again
typically retirees, are unable to view the meeting. I can think of at least 5 Naperville
households, my parents included, who do not have cable and do not have internet. If I can
think of 5 families, you know there are much more in Naperville. Because libraries and
other public places to view are closed, these individuals are prevented from watching the
meeting. As to notice, how have those who do not have access to the internet been
informed of City Council holding this meeting and that it is being held over Zoom? If
people do not have internet access how would they know? I did not see any newspaper
notices. Was there a sign posted on City Hall's door? In addition, although yesterday
Naperville placed on its website notice of the meeting being held over Zoom and the
details regarding it under the COVID-19 section, there was nothing on Friday when I
conducted an extensive search all over the website. The only thing on Friday I found was
on the Agenda itself that said the meeting was being held under "Zoom" with no details
as to what Zoom was or how the meeting would be conducted via Zoom. To get this
information a person needed to be signed up to receive general City of Naperville updates.
I bring this all to your attention to ask: why is anything being discussed and decided on
the agenda outside of necessary consent agenda items? Even the Governor in his Order
says to postpone governmental meetings when possible. There is a low risk of a resident
suing the City for violating the Open Meetings Access regarding a vote on whether, for
example, how much to pay for brush pick up. When there are controversial items on the
agenda, however, that risk is pretty high especially when there is a violation of the Open
Meetings Act happening, as is here. As someone who spent their career as a litigator
both at the trial and appellate level, I know that the government in times of crisis often
tries to argue extenuating circumstances to get around due process rights belonging to
its citizens.
DiSanto responded that the City is under an emergency declaration and the City is
making every effort possible to conduct business and allow the public to participate in a
variety of methods while complying with the Open Meetings Act. He also added that
cable providers are providing free internet access during this time and the City will
continue to widely notice the meetings.

staff recommendation to hire both, and the appropriateness to rebid in order to
hire one vendor.
Dublinski explained that this service is similar to snow contracting and that
several vendors are necessary due to the size of the City, that this service is
conducted regardless of the pandemic, and that prices will most likely increase
if rebid.

I represent the Developer, in favor of Agenda Item #14 - Approval of a Firestone in Cantore
Place by approving the conditional use-Applicant is seeking, and is in favor of Agenda
Item #14. In addition to having met with City Staff prior to pursuing our potential use,
applicant has worked diligently with staff to design the development in such a way as to
minimize any perceived or potential impact upon neighboring properties. In addition to
mailing notifications to neighbors, a neighborhood meeting was held at the Naperville
Public Library. There was only one attendee at the neighborhood meeting, and she was in
favor of the development. Subsequently, applicant hosted an online meeting with
representatives of the Arbor Terrace senior living facility. As a result of that meeting,
applicant has agreed to add a fence and a berm to our plans to further mitigate any
potential or perceived impact from our development upon the neighboring development.
Laff explained the landscape plan does not reflect the improvements due to the timing of
the agreement, however should Council approve the recommendation, the plan will be
updated prior to the issuance of the ordinance.

Erika DeCarlo - SUPPORT - COMMENT ONLY
Naperville has been ready for recreational cannabis for a very long time and our votes
reflect this. The Asian (mainly Chinese) opposition group, Opt Out, is funded by a dark
money group, is full of roving carpetbaggers, and their unscientific views certainly don’t
represent Naperville, or the Asian-American community here. Many Opt Out members
aren’t even American citizens or voters! Do I have the right to go to China and randomly
demand that the Chinese abstain from alcohol, green tea, and rice, simply because I
showed up? Besides, it was the Chinese and Indians who wisely brought the medicinal
use of cannabis to the world 10,000 years ago. For this gift, we all owe them our
gratitude. Now these folks have done a 180 and they think Reefer Madness is a
documentary. The same Opt Out members go from town to town and in each town they
visit, they claim they live there. Do these people each own 20 homes? Enough! Bottom

line, those of us who were born in IL, as I was 48 years ago, and actually grew up in
Naperville, as I did, and did all of our K-12 here (Steeple Run, Madison, Naperville Central
for me) DO want recreational cannabis. We will not be silenced or bullied by
carpetbaggers funded by nefarious dark money PACs. I will never apologize for believing
in freedom, personal choice, and traditional American values. Please honor the will of the
majority of citizen residents and support recreational cannabis. Marijuana is here
anyway, and it’s been in popular use locally for over 100 years. Do we want regulated,
taxed, controlled sales, or should Naperville citizens continue to buy it from the dealers
who have been here for decades? Should we buy it in neighboring towns, depriving
Naperville of much needed revenue? Either way, Naperville residents will obtain and use
cannabis. Why not derive some benefit? Support recreational cannabis stores and refute
the racist drug war. Ironically, historically, marijuana prohibition was tacked on to opium
prohibition specifically to keep Chinese immigrants out of the USA and to harass the
ones already here. Now this Asian coalition, totally ignorant of American drug war history,
embraces the very same racist anti-marijuana rhetoric that was specifically concocted to
keep them out. Strange days indeed. Most peculiar. Show courage. Open the
recreational stores and stop bowing to outside pressure groups. As a voter, citizen, and
resident, thank you for allowing us this forum and for considering my viewpoint. I will be
watching your votes on this extremely carefully and I have voted in every election since
turning 18.
Bill Collins - OPPOSE - COMMENT ONLY
My name is Bill Collins, and I live at 112 Split Oak Road, Naperville- Mr Mayor and city
council members, thank you for the opportunity to submit my opposition to file #20-416,
Agenda 1, municipal cannabis retailers’ occupation tax. You have all studied the data. In
their report published in Nov 2019 regarding school violence, studying attackers from
2008-2017, they looked at substance abuse: “Half of the attackers, 49%, had a history of
substance use and/or abuse. The most frequently used substances included marijuana
40%...” (pg 27 of Protecting America’s Schools, US Secret Service analysis of targeted
school violence. Let’s not make it easier for our youth to obtain cannabis, please vote no,
thank you.
George Hardwidge - OPPOSE - COMMENT ONLY
The citizens of Naperville are clearly opposed to the sale of recreational marijuana. So
why are we moving forward with this. Certainly a 3% tax will not offset the damage done
to our community by selling marijuana which has clearly been demonstrated to be a
gateway drug. And there has been no effort state or local to identify and codify driving
while under the influence. There is little or no traffic enforcement on our road ways now.
So I guess this wise assembly thinks it is OK to combine drug use with texting speeding
and drinking while driving on our roads. I will vote against any council member who
supported or supports legalization of marijuana sales in Naperville.

2. Receive the staff report regarding the Nokia Campus located at 1940, 1960, 1980, 2000,
and part of 1935 Lucent Lane Naperville - PZC 20-1-008 (File 1 of 5 )
COMMENTS SUBMITTED ONLINE AND READ BY STAFF
Kenneth Schmidt - COMMENT ONLY
To the Naperville City Council, this concerns the proposed Ordinances for the rezoning
and other issues of the Nokia property, including any proposed changes to Lucent lane,
both south and east access points. First, I want to comment on the possible density of
houses in Lot 4, assuming the proposed R2 zoning is passed. Our Fairmeadow
Neighborhood consists of 35 homes on about 19.7 acres, or approximately one half to
6/10 of an acre per home. To maintain consistency in housing in the Lot 4 area, please
consider mandating minimum lot size to 0.5 acres per lot. Second, considering access
and egress for Lot 4, please mandate that no new access and egress roads shall be
planned or constructed. Lucent Lane’s connection to both Warrenville Road and
Naperville road shall suffice for all access and egress for all proposed Lots in the Nokia
property. In no way will it be acceptable to connect any type of roadway between the
Fairmeadow Neighborhood and any part of the proposed Lots 1 - 4. Kenneth Schmidt,
Fairmeadow Neighborhood Resident
Robert Rubens - Fairmeadows HOA - OPPOSE
When the first homes were built in Fairmeadows subdivision in the mid 1950's residential
zoning codes regarding drainage, well, septic and other building ordinances were
substantially different than today. The area was attractive to homeowners due to its rural
surroundings. Drainage studies of the time were quite rudimentary and Fairmeadows was
a stepchild in the area using a Naperville mailing address but being in unincorporated
Milton Township, bordering Lisle and Wheaton, even though in DuPage county. The
engineers and commissioners who approved those building permits 60 years ago are long
gone, but we aren't. When Bell Labs began building 10 years later in the back yard of our
33 Fairmeadows homes, but in Naperville proper, it was in a wetland area. Covenants
were created which sought to satisfy the commissioners and residents of the day. The
increased tax base of a major corporation was a good trade off. The berm bordering the
west side of Fairmeadows was supposed to hide the TEMPORARY parking lot until the
parking deck was built. Financial times have changed. Those commissioners who
approved Bell Labs and the Labs people who agreed to the berm and TEMPORARY lot
50 years ago are long gone, but we aren't. Please be aware that drainage in this entire
very wet area was poorly designed at the beginning and only got worse with Bell Labs.
We helped pay the price of progress and resultant tax revenues. Our home, like virtually
all others in Fairmeadows has multiple pumps in the basement that run continually. Our
last flood cost us $10,000 to remediate. We have ducks in our back yard since mid
March. My wife and I moved here to be near nature and although we are now retired and
on fixed income I understand business and progress. I would be very disappointed if the
rookery and Danada wildlife is endangered. I will be disappointed if property values suffer,
but I understand business and progress. The commissioners who will hear this proposed
rezoning must be made aware that we have learned from history. We, the HOA will be

reasonable but will not yield on our health, our drinking water safety and drainage. After
you are gone, we will be here. The south extension of I 355 was held up for years while
the EPA reviewed the collocated habitat of the Emerald Dragonfly. The 33 families living
in Fairmeadows deserve at least the local, state and if necessary federal review accorded
the dragonfly to ensure our drinking water is safe and our basements aren't moldy.
Jen Banowetz - Fairmeadow Neighborhood Association
I OPPOSE the Nokia Campus items on tonight's agenda, that is, I oppose any new
development there. My family has resided in the Fairmeadow Neighborhood adjacent to
the Nokia campus for more than 18 years. I would like the board realize that this area
(the Nokia greenspace) is a WETLAND. In fact, just north of the property there a giant
sign along Butterfield Road that designates this area as a "DuPage Forest Preserve
Wetland Project." Simply put, anyone buying/developing this green parcel is buying
SWAMPLAND. Historically, our neighborhood had experienced decades of wet
basements and flooded properties. Stormwater worries is a major concern--and only will
get worse with more development. Honestly, the undeveloped parcels of the Nokia
property is best suited as greenspace, ESPECIALLY since it is surrounded by diverse
DuPage Forest Preserve property. Any further development could have a serious negative
impact on the quality of the preserve lands. As you may know, for example, there is a
Great Blue Heron rookery within sight that is currently quite active. It would be a travesty
for any of this crucial--and beautiful--preserve to be disturbed in any way. Thank you for
your time and the opportunity to share my first-hand knowledge of the area.

The petitioner seeks subdivision of the subject property into 3 lots (Lots 2, 3, and 4) and
1 outlot in order to facilitate the possibility of selling one or more lots. Lot 1, which was
created by a 2011 plat of subdivision and is not part of the proposed Nokia subdivision, is
owned by the City and is the location of the City’s Indian Hill Electric Substation.
Petitioner’s proposed Lot 2 will include the improvements on 1960 Lucent Lane as well as
two garage buildings located on 1940 and 1980 Lucent Lane which will be renovated and
leased to multiple office tenants. Lot 3 will consist of the 2000 Lucent Lane
improvements and will be leased back to Nokia. Lot 4 is vacant land intended to be sold
for future development. Outlot A is a stormwater detention facility which will be a source
of stormwater management for Lots 2, 3, and 4.

Finance presentation
Mayer gave an overview of how the current pandemic may impact the 2020 budget. She
stated that it is far too early in this rapidly changing and unprecedented event to have
accurate data, that staff is committed to providing updated information as the event
evolves, that increasing cash reserves, reducing debt and securing the AAA bond rating
has given the City time to make measured strategic decisions, and that staff is
monitoring revenue streams and changes to service delivery.
Council discussed executive orders, financial principles, small business assistance,
outreach by the Chamber of Commerce, essential and non-essential businesses, and
prioritization of expenditures.
Krieger stated that each month staff will present refined estimates to the Council and
identify service changes and purchase deferrals.
Zoning for adult-use cannabis sales
Council discussed the declaration of a national emergency, the stay-at-home order, the
need for public input on this topic, that the issue has been divisive, the need to provide
various methods to allow the public to participate, new source of revenue for the City,
voter data from the March 17 primary, and the need to respect the will of the voters.
By consenus Council directed staff to initiate the zoning process to allow for the legal
sales of adult-use cannabis and bring a roadmap/timeline recommendation back to a
future meeting.
