6. Adopt Resolution R-2021-73, A Resolution Setting Forth the Review of Pension Obligation Bonds
to Fund Police and Firefighters Pension Unfunded Liabilities
Councilman Barbier moved and Councilwoman Robbins seconded that Resolution R-2021-73, A
Resolution Setting Forth the Review of Pension Obligation Bonds to Fund Police and Firefighters Pension
Unfunded Liabilities, be adopted.
City Manager Dzugan stated City staff and the City’s municipal finance advisor found it beneficial to
summarize the process the council considered when reviewing options to address unfunded pension
liabilities.
Councilman Barbier stated historically low interest rates make this bond attractive. He explained
dispersing this bond amount over 12 months helps to mitigate the risk due to market timing.
Councilman Barbier stated the police and fire personnel signed a contract with the City of Wheaton and
this bond offering ensures the City fulfills its end of the contract. He expressed his support.
Councilwoman Fitch stated she will be voting no to this agenda item, as well as the next two items
relating to the issuance of pension obligation bonds. She believes City staff and the consultants
proposed better alternatives for achieving 100% funding of the City’s police and fire pension plans while
realizing significant cost savings for our taxpayers.

Motion Carried
7. Pass Ordinance No. O-2021-43, An Ordinance Providing for the Issuance of Not to Exceed
$54,000,000 Taxable General Obligation Bonds, Series 2021, of the City of Wheaton, DuPage County,
Illinois, for the Purpose of Funding all or a Portion of the Unfunded Liability of Said City’s Police and
Firefighters’ Pension Funds, a Budget Stabilization Fund for Such Unfunded Liability, the Levy and
Collection of a Direct Annual Tax for the Payment of the Principal of and Interest on Said Bonds and
Authorizing the Sale of Said Bonds to the Purchasers Thereof
Councilman Barbier moved and Councilman Brown seconded that Ordinance No. O-2021-43, An
Ordinance Providing for the Issuance of Not to Exceed $54,000,000 Taxable General Obligation Bonds,
Series 2021, of the City of Wheaton, DuPage County, Illinois, for the Purpose of Funding all or a Portion
of the Unfunded Liability of Said City’s Police and Firefighters’ Pension Funds, a Budget Stabilization
Fund for Such Unfunded Liability, the Levy and Collection of a Direct Annual Tax for the Payment of the
Principal of and Interest on Said Bonds and Authorizing the Sale of Said Bonds to the Purchasers Thereof,
be passed.
City Manager Dzugan stated the bond ordinance initiates the purchase of an amount not to exceed
$54,000,000 in bonds to cover unfunded pension liabilities. He explained most recent calculations show
unfunded liabilities of approximately $48,000,000. Once Council approves the ordinance, two
underwriting companies will negotiate the sale of the bonds within the parameters set forth by the
ordinance with no further action from Council. He confirmed the bonds will not be sold unless two of
the designated officials sign the documents per Section 14 of the ordinance.
Councilwoman Bray-Parker stated that the 12-month flexibility of investment and the parameters makes
this the best way to proceed. In response to Councilwoman Bray-Parker, Finance Director Lehnhardt
stated the $46.8 million bond issue is lower than the $52.9 million estimate used in our analyses due to
the June 30, 2021 market value of the assets of the pension plans being higher than the December 2020
market value of the pension plan assets, which reduces the total unfunded liabilities of the pension
plans. He stated the City will do a true-up cost using the market value of the pension plan assets as of
August 31, 2021. He stated the intent is to issue a bond amount as close to 100% of the unfunded
liability.
Councilwoman Bray-Parker inquired how the public will be made aware of this process. City Manager
Dzugan stated that the resolution will be used to explain the actions of the Council though various
media channels.

City Manager Dzugan stated the Liquor Control Commission recommended the code amendment
allowing existing Class A, B or I license holders to apply for a Class G license to cater food and/or alcohol
at an offsite location.
Councilwoman Fitch inquired who benefits from passing this text amendment. Director of Planning &
Economic Development Kozik explained the amendment will accommodate anyone who uses a local
restaurant for catering events, and primarily addresses the proposed new business, Moment on Main.
Director Kozik confirmed the caterer providing the services would hold the license and therefore the
venue would not require a separate liquor license.
City Attorney Jim Knippen stated the primary accountability would fall on the caterer as the license
holder. In the event of a violation, Attorney Knippen explained each individual incident would need to
be reviewed. Attorney Knippen confirmed staff of the caterer or restaurant must serve the alcohol, not
the staff of the property owner.
