Item D-8 – Ordinances – Restore Woodstock Program Mayor Sager stated this item is to consider and approve various ordinances and requirements for Restore Woodstock, describing each action to be considered as follows: • Closures of streets, sidewalks, and parking areas for use as temporary vendor opportunities; • Authorization for the City Manager to enter into leases to establish park sites and to modify the existing lease with KATLO, INC. on behalf of the City Council and the City of Woodstock; • Extension of the Mayor’s authority concerning alcohol for various identified situations and events making sure the City is in concert with the Governor’s orders and the Restore Illinois Program; • Modification of the terms of City’s video gaming fees; • Modification of the terms of the City’s Revolving Loan Program. Mayor Sager opened the floor for Council comments and questions. Councilwoman Piersall expressed concern for the actions being considered, noting she has spent the day calling every agency at the state and county level researching these decisions. She stated everyone 3  Woodstock City Council 05-19-20 agreed with her that the Governor’s order surrounding allowing picnic tables for outdoor public dining falls into a gray area. She expressed concerns with enforcement, sanitation, and liability. Concerning sanitation, Councilwoman Piersall expressed serious concerns about the ability to sanitize the City’s picnic tables and requested some sort of plexiglass be attached to them in order to better sanitize them. Mayor Sager stated Public Works has been at work preparing the picnic tables. In response to a question from the Mayor, Mr. Stelford stated Staff will do whatever is requested by Council including looking into plexiglass, opining this would delay installation of the tables in the approved areas. Councilwoman Piersall again opined the tables cannot be sanitized appropriately for use on the Square in their present condition. In response to a question from Councilwoman Piersall concerning garbage pickup, Mayor Sager stated additional containers will be placed in these areas, and Public Works’ employees will be circulating for pickup between 3:00 PM and 10:00 PM. Councilwoman Piersall asked who will be liable if an outbreak originates from this area. Mayor Sager replied it would be difficult to determine that this occurred from the tables. In response to a request for clarification, City Attorney Schlossberg stated if this should arise, a long litigation process would be required to determine liability, explaining tort immunity. Mayor Sager opened the floor to the Council for comments concerning sanitation and liability. Councilman Turner stated he is comfortable that Staff can come up with a plan for sanitation in this time of crisis. Concerning liability, he stated he has had conversations with Ms. Schlossberg and is comfortable with this as long as the City stays within the guidelines. Councilman Tebo stated he, too, is concerned with sanitation, suggesting the tables be covered with vinyl and disinfectant spray be provided. He also suggested that people not be allowed to congregate. Councilman Prindiville agreed with Councilman Turner that Staff can work out the details on these issues, suggesting perhaps the restaurants could assist with sanitation and clean up. Noting plexiglass is expensive and vinyl may not hold up, Councilman Prindiville suggested the use of galvanized sheet metal to rehab the tables. In response to a question from Mayor Sager, Ms. Schlossberg stated the restaurants cannot facilitate this process, so cannot be responsible for the tables during Phase 2. Councilwoman Lohmeyer expressed appreciation for Public Works’ efforts, but opined compromise is needed at this time so the public must be asked to be responsible as well. She opined the City should provide clean tables as a first step and let the public take the steps necessary to make them most comfortable. She stated she would support the use of vinyl, if this would make the process easier, asking for more investigation of this possibility. 4  Woodstock City Council 05-19-20 Opining Councilwoman Piersall made a good point about the wood, Councilman Flynn asked if it would be possible to consider reworking the table surfaces with composite. He noted people are now congregating on the benches, which are not being cleaned, opining people must be on their honor. Noting Councilwoman Piersall’s concerns with the porosity of the tables is a good one, Mayor Sager stated the intent was to assume that people would be on the honor system, asking them to be a partner in this. He stated he does not have the same concerns regarding liability, believing the City is on the right side of this issue and opining proving liability in this case would be extremely challenging. Mayor Sager noted many areas are looking at available opportunities to assist businesses because they are on the precipice of closing permanently and may not be able to survive without some form of support, requiring the City to assist them during this crisis while protecting the health and welfare of the public. He stated Staff will continue to investigate some type of covering. In response to Councilman Flynn’s suggestions concerning the use of composite, Mr. Van Landuyt stated this would be expensive. Councilman Turner suggested trying composite with two or three tables, opining it may be worth it in the long run because of its durability. Councilwoman Piersall opined vinyl is not expensive and would make it easy to sanitize the tables. Mayor Sager stated he hears concern with the wooden tabletops. Without objection, there was consensus among the Council members that Staff will investigate some type of product to cover the tables or make them easier to sanitize. Councilwoman Piersall again expressed concern with liability noting contact tracing is about to be put in place. In response to her question concerning whether a plan is in place for this, Mayor Sager stated the City has the opportunity to remove everything and close this down if a difficult situation should arise. In response to Mayor Sager’s question, there were no further Council questions or comments on these issues at this time. Councilwoman Piersall expressed concern about enforcement, noting the headlines in the Northwest Herald, stating that McHenry is not enforcing PPE, opining this will start a precedent in Woodstock. Mayor Sager stated the City should encourage people to take every precaution they can and must distance the tables. He stated people can be asked to wear masks and social distance. He stated he is confident the Police Department can assist with this, noting there will be no fines, but rather working with the community. He stated limits on tables are being explored so that people are not allowed to gather and consume. Noting the presence of McHenry Mayor Wayne Jett, Mayor Sager asked him to speak to this issue. Mayor Jett stated people were pushing the limit, but noted by working with people and the businesses, 5  Woodstock City Council 05-19-20 they have experienced a positive result in McHenry. He noted the areas are not large, stating the goal is to have families at the tables. Mayor Jett stated the tables are intended for people to eat and drink so it is not possible to enforce mask wearing in that area, noting it is enforced in other areas. In response to questions from Councilman Tebo, Mayor Jett stated smoking is not allowed in these areas, which is noted on the signage. He stated social distancing is encouraged and the restaurants are encouraged to help monitor the areas and call Police if there are any issues. In response to a question from Councilman Flynn, Mayor Jett stated every restaurant was affected in a positive way by this effort and was very pleased with the increased business they did over the weekend. In response to a question from Councilman Turner, Mayor Sager stated there is no intent in Woodstock to ask people if they are related and quarantining together. He stated the intent is to have the Police step in only when people are disengaged from proper behavior. Councilwoman Piersall opined this is a gray area, stating she would be supportive of this action if Woodstock was in Phase 3. She stated this is not the case; however, noting Woodstock is in Phase 2 where no non-essential gatherings are permitted. Mayor Sager expressed appreciation for Councilwoman Piersall’s comments. He stated the City will encourage people not to congregate, but opined it will be difficult for the municipality to go down the streets and make sure this does not happen. He stated the intent is to have tables where family units can get together to dine. In response to Councilwoman Piersall’s concern regarding the unintended consequences of the proposed action, Mayor Sager opined this is a measured risk that must be considered, as is the fact that if something is not done to give the businesses a bridge, they will not be in business in two weeks. Noting two businesses have already closed, Mayor Sager stated there must be a balance between protecting the health and welfare of the community and helping the businesses. He stated the welfare of the people should not be put up against the businesses. Mayor Sager stated the businesses are trying to stay afloat, noting it is their employees who are waiting in food lines for their families. Councilwoman Piersall stated she is not for businesses going out of business. She noted she has stood in food lines and lost everything and has bounced back. Councilman Tebo noted Woodstock is in Phase 2, but meets the criteria for Phase 3 and almost Phase 4. He noted if McHenry County were considered by itself, there would be no issue. Stating while he shares Councilwoman Piersall’s concerns, he would like to see the City proceed with this action based on the current data for the County. Councilwoman Piersall expressed concern about crowds on Memorial Day. She stated if the action being considered moves forward, she would like a Police Officer to be present on the Square on Memorial Day. In response to a question from Mayor Sager, without objection it was the consensus of the City Council to have a Police Office present on the Square on Memorial Day. 6  Woodstock City Council 05-19-20 In response to a question from Councilman Flynn concerning a timeline for placement of the tables, Mr. Stelford stated it was hoped to begin at 7:00 AM tomorrow, but noted it will probably not be until Thursday or Friday to give Public Works time to make the modifications discussed. In response to a question from Councilman Prindiville concerning the Farmer’s Market returning to the Square, Mayor Sager stated a meeting is scheduled this week with representatives of the Farmer’s Market to discuss this. He stated while the Market appreciates being on the Square and the additional customers it brings, they are concerned about space in light of social distancing requirements, noting a return to the Square probably would not be until mid to late-June, but the Market may choose to stay at the Fairgrounds for this year. In response to a request from Councilwoman Piersall, Mayor Sager stated the question will be divided with each item voted on separately. Mayor Jett offered to loan the City of Woodstock two dozen aluminum picnic tables until the City can complete the necessary improvements to its own picnic tables, for which Mayor Sager thanked him. Councilman Turner opined much of what has happened over the last two months has been reactionary, noting now the City is looking at perspective and balance. He opined this is not business vs. health, or business vs. life or death, stating it is about the health of the community. He stated businesses are related to people and employ people. Councilman Turner stated many businesses are nearly bankrupt with employees out of work, opining if many businesses are lost it will take years for the community to recover. He stated the letter to the Governor notes McHenry County has met the criteria for Stage 3 and is moving toward Stage 4, which is why he believes it is necessary to consider what is happening to our businesses, which are near failure. Noting he has been told that 50% of the Square businesses will be vacant if something is not done, Councilman Turner stated he supports all five elements being considered. He stated he supports the Administration taking quick action, urging them to be creative and responsive, to help as many businesses as possible, and to maximize space while allowing for social distancing. Councilman Turner expressed his appreciation for Mayor Sager’s leadership and the work Staff has done to put this program together and for the input of the Council. Mayor Sager stated this was a collaboration with the Mayors, the County, and also Mercyhealth System, Advocate, Northwestern, and Good Shepherd who all provided data that went into the metrics. He noted it was also supported by the County’s Health Department, stating all of these professionals stated they can demonstrate the local metrics to be in Phase 3 and moving to Phase 4. He emphasized the letter to the Governor was well grounded in science by professionals and was not just political. Stating the City should do whatever it can, Councilman Flynn also opined the City must be careful when looking at the placement of tables and closures so one business is not sacrificed to help another. He noted the City must also be aware of 2nd floor businesses as well as 1st floor. He urged that entrances and curbside pickup is not blocked by tables, to be careful when restricting traffic and to not close the streets. 7  Woodstock City Council 05-19-20 Mayor Sager noted there is a lot of flexibility to respond to a concern and adjust the set up. He stated Staff has reached out to many businesses to determine their needs, noting the City wishes to be cognizant of upper level businesses and residences as well. He stated it is not the intent to close any streets with the possible exception of Benton Street. He again emphasized the layout can be adjusted and moved around if something does not work. He invited Garrett Anderson to make a presentation on the proposed plan. Mr. Anderson made a presentation on potential public outdoor dining in Woodstock. He stated indoor dining is not allowed nor is outdoor dining on the premises of the businesses during Phase 2, noting Staff has come up with some ideas of how to use the public spaces for outdoor dining. Mr. Anderson stated he will reach out to all restaurants, not just those in the Downtown, working through the Economic Development Department and the Chamber, to explore outdoor dining opportunities. He stated the restaurant cannot own the land or use their own tables, noting the landowner must be separate from the liquor license holder, and with the proposed Ordinances, the City of Woodstock could establish temporary leases to establish small public park sites, when possible and if needed. Mr. Anderson showed a map of the Square depicting where appropriately spaced tables could be placed in public spaces near the various restaurants and also where curbside pickup space could be preserved for retail pickup. Mr. Anderson stated it is the recommendation of the Economic Development Department to place tables in the parking lots, in the center of the Square and on Benton Street. He identified other locations in proximity to the Square where other tables could be placed for other restaurants farther from the Square including areas on Clay Street, Throop Street, and E. Calhoun Street. He noted as the City moves through the Phases, this would be reevaluated to assess the demand for parking vs. the demand for tables. Opining this is a well-thought out plan, Councilman Turner expressed his support of an expansive use of public space to offer as many opportunities for people to come to Woodstock in a safe way to enjoy themselves and have a positive impact on business. He stated the City must be sensitive to maintain parking for pick-up and also be sensitive to Ethereal, noting he would like to maximize some space for them emphasizing he does not wish to close Cass Street. He expressed support for the closure of Benton Street. Councilman Turner stated he feels this will be necessary for the summer, opining restaurants will not return to capacity soon. He urged Staff to be creative, flexible, to work with the businesses to do things that make sense, and to be aggressive in adding capacity. In response to a question from Councilman Flynn, Mayor Sager stated it is the plan to offer tables and assistance to the restaurants off the Square also. He stated the number of tables, location, and configuration still must be worked out in consideration of social distancing. He noted Staff is reaching out to other entities about borrowing tables if they are needed. Councilman Flynn stated he is not in favor of closing Benton Street as it is a major garbage and delivery thoroughfare. 8  Woodstock City Council 05-19-20 Councilwoman Piersall wished to clarify that the Plan is being dictated by public health and not politics with similar plans being initiated all over the world. Noting the state is in Phase 2 and on track for Phase 3, she stated she would support this initiative if the City was in Phase 3. Mayor Sager stated there are part-time City employees who currently do not have work who probably would be happy to be table stewards. Mayor Sager opened the floor to Public Comment. Doreen Paluch, 517 Dane Street, stated she also is the owner of a business at 130 Cass Street. She expressed her appreciation for the City actively addressing the significant concerns of Woodstock’s businesses. Noting businesses in addition to restaurants and bars are important as are 2nd floor businesses, she thanked Mayor Sager for recognizing that they need to be supported also. She asked that they continue to be given consideration as to street closure and parking. She thanked Staff for recognizing it is not appropriate to close Cass Street, noting it is important not only to customers, but also for delivery and unloading. Ms. Paluch expressed concern noting all parking on Cass is reserved with curbside pickup cones leaving no spaces for her clients to park and no access to her business. She asked that the curbside delivery cones be removed and the spaces be open for anyone to park. Concerning the picnic tables and sanitation, Ms. Paluch stated she is pleased to hear Cass Street will not be blocked off, but is concerned participants cannot be relied on to clean up the tables. She stated she also wishes to make sure there are no issues with garbage. She expressed concern with enforcement, noting recently people were protesting by walking around the Square without PPE or social distancing, which was not addressed by the Police. Mayor Sager stated using cones for curbside pickup was initially thought to be a short-term need while many businesses are closed. He stated the City will work with business owners on this issue. Concerning the protest, Mayor Sager stated this is a difficult issue as the purpose of the action was to protest what the individuals thought were their loss of rights and was against social distancing and wearing masks, making this difficult to enforce. Mayor Sager expressed appreciation for Ms. Paluch’s thoughts, including those on sanitation and people’s responsibility, stating the City will review how this might be done. Karen Dvorak, Interiors Anew, talked about how her business is trying to maintain business. She stated they only put their cones out when someone is expected for curbside pickup. She expressed appreciation for the decision not to close Cass Street. Ms. Dvorak stated her business does not get any assistance because the owners are independent contractors, opining they could control the number of people in their store better than the big box stores. 9  Woodstock City Council 05-19-20 Ms. Dvorak opined encouraging outdoor dining will cause trouble, stating cleanup cannot be done properly. She opined restaurants and bars are receiving more support, noting her business is down 75%. She asked the City to be more aware of the small businesses that are struggling, which are just as important. Mayor Sager stated small businesses are the backbone of the economy on a local, state, and national level. He stated the City is also allowing sidewalk displays for retail establishments, allowing them to set up tables on the sidewalk to draw interest. In response to Ms. Dvorak’s question as to why this is better than allowing five people in her business, Mayor Sager stated that is now allowed by the state and the City has no control over this at the present time. He stated the City does not have the authority to override the Governor’s plan and allow people to go into the stores. In response to further questioning, the Mayor stated the City only has certain opportunities under the Governor’s order, one of which is to place tables in the public way. He opined the Governor is expected to move the State to Phase 3 on May 29th, which would allow her to have a limited number of people in her store. He stated one officer is enough for the Square all the time, except for certain events. He urged Ms. Dvorak to provide the City with any suggestions she may have for helping small businesses. Matt Drennan, owner of MD Trains, talked about the disruptions on Cass Street over the last two years, including building, street, and sidewalk construction. Noting the majority of his customers are over 50 year of age, he stated this had been a hardship for him, as is closing the parking spaces on Cass Street. He asked the City to consider the plan presented this evening, which does not close Cass Street, stating it does not need any further disruption. Mr. Drennan stated sanitizing the tables will be a big challenge, opining the City cannot rely on the public. He encouraged the use of City employees as suggested by the Mayor. Mayor Sager stated Council and Staff have heard the comments concerning sanitation and cleaning and will work on this. City Manager Stelford stated a question has been received via Zoom concerning opening the Recreation Center. Mayor Sager stated it will be opened as soon as the City is able under the Governor’s order. Randy Tipps stated he is proud the City Council is looking at ways to help local businesses in a safe and productive way. Stating he is supportive of the tables at the locations indicated, he suggested having set hours. Mr. Tipps opined as things open up further, there will be a need to manage the crowds going into the restaurants. He also suggested that Real Woodstock look at promoting Woodstock as a safe place and at how all businesses can be marketed. Mr. Tipps talked about some other cities and states are doing, including the use of gift cards and capping delivery and service fees, which may help the restaurants. 10  Woodstock City Council 05-19-20 Mr. Tipps stated he saw the protest, opining the Police Department did a good job and the best they could under the circumstances. Mayor Sager stated the City had no advance notice of the protest. He stated the current plan is to have the tables open from 11:00 AM to 9:00 PM, noting this could be changed if necessary. Concerning crowd management once things open up, he stated there will be a limit on the number of people allowed inside, but people will still be able to dine outside. He stated the suggestions mentioned by Mr. Tipps concerning the use of Real Woodstock are exactly the conversations that have been held recently as a way to attract people to Woodstock. Councilman Flynn noted people are seeking a safe space so the Real Woodstock theme has transferred to businesses, providing more information on their focus. Councilman Turner stated Real Woodstock will also be focusing on new residents and what Woodstock has to offer, which could be a great opportunity to generate growth. Mr. Stelford noted another Zoom question was received asking about restrooms. Mayor Sager noted this has been discussed and portable restrooms are not included in the current plan as they could promote long-term stays. There being no further public comment, Mayor Sager opened the floor to Council comments. Councilman Tebo requested that Staff look into the cost of having someone on the Square during the times the tables are open to provide sanitation in case it is found they are not being kept clean. Mayor Sager agreed the City needs to be aggressive on this issue. Without objection, it was the consensus of the Council that Staff look into opportunities for appropriate table coverings and providing opportunities for cleaning such as chemical sprays and the use of part- time individuals to provide this service. Mayor Sager noted the previous request to divide the question. Motion by M. Turner, second by D. Flynn, to approve Ordinance 20-O-35, identified as Document 4, An Ordinance Amending Title 3, Chapter 6, Section 3 Regulating Temporary Vendors; Title 5, Chapter 3, Section 17 Regulating Temporary Road and Sidewalk Closures and No Parking Zones; and Title 6, Chapter 1A, Section 6 Regulation Obstruction of Streets, with effort made by the retail and restaurant businesses to minimize contact with customers and the associated handling of any merchandise as well as social distancing to be adhered to by local businesses.
