(See attached) K.%WL Kimberly Dewis City Clerk City of Elgin 150 Dexter Court Elgin, IL 847/931-5661 847/931-6027 (fax) 1 J€ ► REPORT TO MAYOR & MEMBERS OF CITY COUNCIL E LG I N THE CITY IN THE SUBURBS MEETING DATE: June 8, 2011 ITEM: Public Hearing Regarding Proposal to Change the Name of Crosby Street to Dominican Way (No Cost to the City) OBJECTIVE: To honor an Elgin institution, St. Edward Catholic High School, by permanently changing a street name. RECOMMENDATION: To change the name of Crosby Street between Elm Street on the east and Perry Street on the west to Dominican Way. BACKGROUND St. Edward Central Catholic High School opened in 1941. Housed in the former Lord School Building, classes began on September 8, 1941. Over its nearly seventy year operation, the school has seen several additions, resulting in the complex seen today. The school's rich history is eclipsed only by its academic and extracurricular achievements. In 2010, 99 percent of St. Edward students attended the college of their choice. Students consistently score 2.5% higher on the ACT than state and national averages. St. Edward's provides over 36 elective courses and boasts an average class size of 22. Over the last five years, St. Edward has produced state-qualifying teams and individuals in baseball, basketball, golf, gymnastics, soccer, softball, swimming, track, volleyball and wrestling. To commemorate its 70th anniversary, it has been proposed that the city permanently rename Crosby Street between Elm Street and Perry Street to "Dominican Way". The significance of the name "Dominican Way" stems from Saint Edward's membership in the Dominican Order, a catholic sect created by Saint Dominic in early thirteenth century France. Also, for the first part of St. Edward's operation, the Sisters of St. Dominic from Adrian, Michigan staffed the school. The Elgin city council can permanently change the name of a public street. To do so, there are three procedural requirements: (1) only a member of the city council may introduce the resolution naming or changing the name of a public facility or right of way; (2) any change must be approved by all city council members; and (3) a public hearing must be held a minimum of two weeks before final action on naming a right of way. Councilman Dunne has requested the matter be presented to the city council. OPERATIONAL ANALYSIS It is desired that the change of this street name be completed before July 1, 2011. To meet this timeline, a public hearing needs to be held at the city council's June 8 meeting. A resolution providing for the name change could then be placed on the city council agenda for adoption on June 22, 2011. Upon approval, staff will create new street signs, make any necessary administrative changes and notify any required parties. INTERESTED PERSONS CONTACTED A public hearing in which any interested person can speak to the proposal is scheduled for the city council's June 8 meeting. FINANCIAL ANALYSIS There is a minimal financial impact of approving this item. The cost of creating new street signs will be absorbed by the public works traffic division's operating budget. BUDGET IMPACT FUND(S) ACCOUNT(S) PROJECT#(S) AMOUNT AMOUNT BUDGETED AVAILABLE General Fund 010-3321-753.19-08 N/A $75,715 $4,218 LEGAL IMPACT The resolution changing the name of a street must be approved by a unanimous vote of all members of the city council then holding office. ALTERNATIVES City council can choose not to approve this name change. 2 NEXT STEPS 1. Hold a public hearing. 2. Pass a resolution approving the change at the June 22 city council meeting. 3. Install new street signs. Originators: Aaron Cosentino, Management Analyst Final Review: Colleen Lavery, Chief Financial Officer William A.
