City Manager Dzugan stated the tax levy included an additional $125,000 to the Library,

Library Director Betsy Adamowski, Library Board Chair Christine Fenne, Board Member Ray
Sanguinetti and staff were present. Library Director Adamowski stated other revenue the Library
receives from state grants, fines, and book sales conducted by volunteers.
Board Member Sanguinetti stated the increased funding to the Library essentially replaced a
reduction in funds they experienced in 2009/10. He reported a recent study of surrounding
communities indicated the pay scale for the librarians is 10% lower than other communities and
the Library runs the risk of losing talented professionals. Board Member Sanguinetti asked that
the Council provide additional funding in the future to enable the Library to increase wages. He
indicated the sustainability of the Friends of the Library is of concern.
Library Director Adamowski reported that the interior remodel is complete and was funded at
75% with donated funds. She indicated they will begin their strategic plan May 1.

for their endowment program and stated donated funds of $27,435 have been collected to date.
In response to Council questions, Library Director Admowski stated:
1. she would provide a report on crime statistics, such as theft, to the Council,
2. she estimated 1,500 people use the library on a daily basis,
3. door counters have now been installed at all entrances to the Library,
4. the only part of the remodel that was not funded by donated funds was the purchase of
the DVD shelving, if that was removed from the calculations, the remodel was 100%
funded by donations,
5. capital equipment replacement will not require new tax dollars as funds have already
been set aside,
6. the café has been a great addition and draw for the Library and the expanded teen center
will be well utilized,
7. plans are to move the endowment program to the DuPage Foundation for fund raising
efforts,
8. DVD rentals remain fairly high,
9. they plan on holding more social events and offer more instructional classes at the
Library,
10. it is estimated 49% of residents have a Library card, including children 5 and up.
b. Downtown Wheaton Association
City Manager Dzugan stated the City provides $176,000 in funding on an annual basis to the
DWA.
Ms. Paula Barrington, Executive Director, presented an overview of DWA activities for the past
year. She indicated 13 new businesses opened in the downtown, with 4 additional businesses
opening in the coming months. She indicated they have a vacancy rate of less than 5%.
DWA Board Vice President Richard O’Gorman summarized the DWA events held during 2016.
He stated their goals are to work more closely with Wheaton College and have a sidewalk sale
during the Taste of Wheaton. In response to Council questions, Mr. O’Gorman stated he feels the
French Market is a huge contributor to shoppers in the downtown area.
DWA Board President Donna Hesik recapped their marketing campaign utilizing print, social
media, an e-newsletter and the DWA website. She stated the additional $40,000 funding from the
City would be used for increased marketing efforts, particularly letting people know shops are
open during the downtown streetscape construction project. Ms. Hesik also indicated they would

items which would be funded by the additional $40,000.
In response to Council questions, Mr. Jim Mathieson, past DWA president, confirmed that the
City money referred to in their reports only refers to the supplemental $40,000, not money from
the SSA; the DWA hopes to have an event a month; they are generating revenue from some of
the events; ad revenue from the Living Wheaton magazine is difficult to measure and marketing
and advertising during the streetscape construction project is important to keep bringing people
into the downtown area.

tracks, Ms. Barrington stated the Wine Walk event brought people to the south business area and

overtime. In addition, he reported that eliminating the 11 -7 shift in the Records Division
and instead staffing with three Police Service Representatives on each of the two
remaining shifts, has also reduced overtime costs.
In response to Council questions, Chief Volpe stated SWAT officers trained two days
per month, 8 hours per day at a cost of approximately $65 per hour per officer. He
estimated that the Department is realizing approximately $86,000 in savings in
training, equipment and ammunition costs. Chief Volpe stated they are continuing to
certify internal training personnel to reduce the need for outside training instructors and
they plan to certify all officers in Crisis Intervention Training.
Finance Director Lehnhardt advised the Police Department’s budget reflects an increase
of $536,665.

To the Directors
Downtown Wheaton Association
Wheaton, IL 60187
Management is responsible for the accompanying financial statements of Downtown Wheaton
Association (a nonprofit organization), which comprise the statements of financial position as of
April 30, 2016 and 2015, and the related statements of activities and cash flows for the years
then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America. We have performed a compilation
engagement in accordance with Statements on Standards for Accounting and Review Services
promulgated by the Accounting and Review Services Committee of the AICPA. We did not
audit or review the financial statements nor were we required to perform any procedures to
verify the accuracy or completeness of the information provided by management. Accordingly,
we do not express an opinion, a conclusion, nor provide any form of assurance on these financial
statements.
The supplementary information contained in these financial statements is presented for purposes
of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements. This
information is the representation of management. The information was subject to our
compilation engagement, however, we have not audited or reviewed the supplementary
information and, accordingly, do not express an opinion, a conclusion, nor provide any form of
assurance on such supplementary information.
Management has elected to omit substantially all of the disclosures required by accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America. If the omitted disclosures were
included in the financial statements, they might influence the user’s conclusions about the
Organization’s financial position, changes in net assets, and cash flows. Accordingly, these
financial statements are not designed for those who are not informed about such matters.
We are not independent with respect to Downtown Wheaton Association.
