BACKGROUND Officer Swoboda moved in to the residence in September of 1993 . Since that time positive changes have taken place in his neighborhood. A lease has been negotiated providing a $50 monthly increase in the rent paid for the apartment at 313 Kathleen. Previously, the rent was $400, since the end of the first year, the lease has been on a month-to-month basis . Mr. Schrock, the property owner, is requesting a monthly rent of .,$450 . COMMUNITY GROUPS/INTERESTED PERSONS CONTACTED Attached is a letter from the Westside Property Owners with favorable reaction to the program and Officer Swoboda' s fine work in this area. FINANCIAL IMPACT The additional $50 for the remainder of 1995 can be absorbed under the budgeted housing costs, due to anticipated increas- es in other resident officer housing costs not occurring . This increase was anticipated and will be reflected in future budget requests . These funds are budgeted under account #010-2304-731 . 43-03 . Mayor and Members of City Council May 4, 1995 Page Two LEGAL IMPACT None.. RECOMMENDATION The Police Department recommends that the rent increase be authorized. This would increase the monthly rent to $450 from $400 . Respectfully submitted, dZ-4 -A%41•11-0 Charles A. Gruber Chief of Police Richard B. Helwig City Manager JB/jb Attachment ••• • • ROBERT C. SITES 432 Hubbard Ave. Elgin, Ill. 60123 Feb. 1995 Nr. Charles Gruber Chief Of Police City Of Elgin 150 Dexter Court Elgin, Ill. 60120 Dear Sir: We have had a resident police officer, Mr. Jeff Swoboda living at 313 Kathleen Drive, Elgin, Apt #3, since Sept. 1993. I am very pleased to tell you that he has been very effective in the determent of crime in our neighborhood. You no doubt have Jeff's records and know the good work being done in the Mulberry neighborhood. Our neighborhood has been completely turned around and is now very safe. We are however stuck with a bad image throughout other areas of the Elgin Community, a result of the bad press by our local paper. I am wondering if you could use your influence to get the Courier to print a story telling the community of the good progress here and that it is a safe crime free neighborhood. I believe they owe us some good press. The City Of Elgin Pays Jeff's landlor Mr. Schrock $1100.00 a month rent towards the apartment. TheWest Side Property Owners are also paying month $150.00. Because of recent rent increase the property orners are now paying $170.00 monthly. Yr. Schrock tells us this is still $70.00 below market. Would you please increase the City's contribution to $1150.00. In reading today's paper I see that the Riverboat is contributing to the City almost a million dollars monthly. I believe the City can well afford a small increase for the landlord who has been subsidizing the balance. Tour effort as Chief Of Police in our city in making the resident officer program possible is to be commended. We as an organization wish to recognize your foresight in making this possible. We feel it necessary to keep the resident officer in our neighborhood on a permanent basis because of the crimnal activity in Southeast and Southwest of our area. • Yours truly Roe C.

SITES • L32 H'TBBARD AVE. • ELGIN, ILL 60123 Below are a number of items that have helped our neighborhood to make the Resident Officer Program Successful: 1. Organized Property Ownerd 2. Offering advice to newer rental owners. 3.Self help, by surveying the neighborhood for needed improvements, like getting rid of junk cars. • L. Making a check of neighbohood properties for needed maintenance items such as painting and landscape improvements. 5. Checking shrubs that need trimming or replacing. 6. Alerting our tenants to advise of criminal activity to our resident officer. 7. Mos landlords are using screening resourse for new tenants, probably one of our most effective actions. 8. Having meetings of our group every few months. No one persond can do it alone. It takes all parties to copperate with our Resident Program •
