Roger Dahlstrom: The subject property is located on the northwest
corner of North and Center. It is improved with a two story frame

stairs. It is located well within the B -3 zoning classification
district.
The Land Use Committee held a public hearing on the subject petition
on December'6, 1982. They provided findings of fact at their next

VOLUME XLVIII
n.
Councilman Schmidt: Do you really feel that there is going to be
ample parking next to that building, not only for cars, but for
bicycles.
Mr. Dahlstrom: At the present time there are six spaces and it is
our feeling it is.
Councilman Castillo: At the Land Use Committee meeting one of the
members asked Mr. Deering what was meant by adult supervision.
You said you thought it included somebody eighteen years old but
you were going to look into it.
Jerry Deering: Further on in the transcript I think that we pointed
out that the legal age in the State of Illinois is eighteen and by
saying adult that indeed meant eighteen.
Mayor Verbic: As you will note the recommendation includes certain
conditions and these department conditions include that the electronic
game center is to be subject to the following operating rules and
regulations:
(a) No loitering is to be permitted on the premises.
(b) No gambling on the outcome of games is to be permitted.
(c) No persons under the age of 18 years are to be permitted on the
premises during school hours unless accompanied by a parent or
legal guardian. For the purposes of this condition school
hours means between the hours of 8:00 A.M. and 3:00 P.,M.,
Monday through Friday, from September 1 until June 15.
(d) Adult staff is to be present on the premises during all hours
of operation.
(e) Hours of operation are to be limited as follows:

ORDINANCE PASSED VACATFNG
A PORTION OF GIFFORD'S .
Councilman Rauschenberger: If you vacate this portion you absolutely
make the rest of the area, outside of the sidewalk and street on
that side of the street, useless to the City: Why was'nt the
ordinance prepared to get rid of the whole strip.
Attorney Hallock: I am here tonight on behalf of the petitioners,
Mr, and Mrs. O'Day, This is a situation where the curb and sidewalk
is down on the street and there is no treebank. The particular
piece of property which is involved here is on the very corner of
a lot, which happens to be the corner lot and the general use in the
neighborhood is that everyone seems to consider a portion of the
public right -of -way as their front yard because 'a number of fences
come right down to the sidewalk which enclose part of the public
right -of -way, and that is the reason for just including this small
square, approximately 10 x 12 feet..
Mayor Verbic: Attorney Hallock when you discussed this with our
legal staff was there any discussion about vacating the entire strip.
Attorney Hallock: No Mr. Mayor, other than the fact that I thought
it would be more palatable to the City Council when 1 first began
this project approximately a year and a half ago, to ask just for
what we actually needed to clear title to the property. We have no
use for any more than that.
Councilman Hansen made a motion, seconded by Councilman Waters
to pass the aforementioned ordinance. Yeas: Councilmen Castillo,

RESOLUTION ADOPTED AUTHORIZING PAYMENT
TO THE ELGIN AREA CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
Leo Nelson: Mr, Kelley brought to my attention that the amount we
have in the budget which is $21,000 is $800.00 less than he had
included in his letter. He wondered if it was your intention to
meet the requested amount included in his letter which was $21;800,
which would make the quarterly payments $5450;00, or whether we
wanted to go with what is in the budget which is the $21,000. 1
am not sure why that happened and I don't think you intentionally
reduced his request.
Mayor Verbic: I think it was an oversight when we received the
material and what I would suggest that we do is send the full
$21,800. Let's have a motion to increase the payment to $5450.00
if that is in agreement with the Council members.
Councilman Waters made a motion, seconded by Councilman Hansen

to present Certificates of Appreciation. As you all ma xy remember
during the week of December 3rd through December 10, 1982, the
City of Elgin in conjunction with the American Red Cross, conducted
a conglomerate housing facility. The shelter was managed by an
all volunteer staff of City employees and other volunteers who
gave their time with no pay.
This total volunteer staff under the direction of Mike Millikan
took care of the.complete needs of 89 Elgin residents whose homes
had been flooded and these people had to abandon their homes.
want you to know that the spirit of volunteerism is alive in
Elgin and I think it is only befitting that we pause this evening
to honor those volunteers who gave many hours of work for this
effort.

REPORTS RECEIVED AND ORDERED PLACED ON FILE
Mayor Verbic: I am very happy to state that the sales tax revenue
for October, which we received in January, represents a substantial
increase. Now this is something that we have been looking forward
to for a long period of time. We have had many months of decrease,
we have had a point of stablization, but this is the first really
really big increase that I have seen.
I hope this is an omen of things to come, not only for our sales
tax revenue, but for increased job opportunities for those who
are unemployed in the City of Elgin. Hopefully this shall
continue and the trend is a positive one.
Councilman Waters: I did read with interest the report of the
Hemmen's Advisory Board and I appreciate the initiative that they
had taken, especially Mike McGrath, Marianne Nelson and Betsy
Armenstad, in taking initiatives with the marketing of Hemmen's
Auditorium. I think that is an encouraging note and I would like
to be on record as having commended them for that initiative.

a petition has been filed by Mr. Victor Me LaPorte that requests
an amendment to the zoning ordinance by adding "day care centers"
to the special use lists of the Office, Bu'sin'ess and Manufacturing
Districts,
Day care centers are an appropriate accessory -type of use to
business: -and manufacturing areas, providing convenient child
care services within employment centers. However, because business
and manufacturing districts are for "business and manufacturing ",
because day care centers may have an unusual impact on nearby
business or manufacturing uses, and because a nearby business
or manufacturing use may have an unsafe impact on a day care center
day care centers should be subject to individual review through
the special use designation.

VOLUME XLVIII 129
INDUCTION OF COUNCILMEN AND MAYOR
The Honorable Barry Puklin administered the Oath of Office to
Mayor Verbic, Councilmen Pete Andersen, Marlene Shales and Donald
Waters.
Mayor Verbic delivered the following address to those present in
the Council Chambers,
''Members of the Council and Fellow Citizens
I desire to express my appreciation of the honor conferred upon me;
and to say that my every effort will be to the end that the interests
of the whole community may be enhanced.
Our community is progressive, enterprising and intelligent, and as
such, worthy of the best service at the hands of its servants. This
it should have, and so far as it is in my power, it will have,
have not accepted honor at your hands without giving a thought to
the responsibilities accompanying 'it, and I am ready to meet those
responsibilities. My time and attention will be devoted to the
duties of my office.
I solicit your aid in making this administration beneficial as well
as creditable to the people of this community.
The words 1 have just read are not mine. They were spoken a hundred
years ago, in 1883, by David F. Barclay, who was about to take: the
oath of office as Mayor of Elgin. Although a century has passed
since they were heard in the Elgin City Council chamber, l believe
they,express my sentiments upon entering my third term as your Mayor,
The Elgin over which David Barclay was to preside had a population
of less than 9,000. Its problems were simpler than those we face,
but they were of as great concern to the citizens of that time as
our problems are to us.
As was appropriate, Mr. Barclay devoted the greater part of his
inaugural address to the concerns of his time. Some of them have
a familiar ring.
He discussed the condition of the city's streets. He questioned
the desirability of increasing the size of the municipal waterworks.
He called for the construction of another bridge across the Fox
River.
The bridge of which he spoke was finally built, but only after much
controversy. It spanned the river at Kimball Street,
Since 1975 another controversial bridge proposal has been considered
by the Elgin City Council, I have expressed my support of the project
in the past. I believe it would prove to be as valuable to the city
as the Kimball Street Bridge has been. In this matter, 1 hope we
130
VOLUME XLVIII
show the same wisdom and foresight in our decision as our predecessors -
displayed, so many years ago.
Our predecessors showed more than wisdom and foresight. In addition
to those qualities, they demonstrated they had prudence and courage
and patience.
They manifested their prudence by giving careful consideration to
the city's needs. They devised well- thought out and affordable
plans to meet those needs. They had the courage to refuse to act
until their plans were fully formulated. Finally, once they were
convinced of the 'rightness of their 'course, they had the patience
to see their projects through to this completion.
They did not always display those qualities. They sometimes failed,
just as we do.. Most of the time, they did not. The city in which
we live is evidence-of that.
During the next four years, we will be given an opportunity to
demonstrate the extent to which we possess our predecessors'
strengths. We will be challenged in many areas. If I may, I
would like to take a few minutes to identify them.
(1) We are emerging from a recession of over 30 months with a
current unemployment rate of over 14%. The City and the Elgin Area
Chamber of Commerce must continue to develop an economic strategy
which is conducive to promoting and attracting new businesses and
industry. When possible, we must help those businesses and --
industries in our city and help and encourage those that wish to
expand by the use of a variety of financial incentives. We have
to maintain an attractive level of city services to promote the
desirability of our city as a new location for commercial "and
industrial investment.
(2) The Comprehensive Plan for our city will be a reality within
the next few months. It will guide and help us make decisions for
the next 20 years regarding growth and the physical and economic
well -being of our residents. It will help us to establish city
jurisdictional boundary agreements with bordering communities.
(3) Continued enlargement of our successful Residential
Rehabilitation Assistance Program and our Neighboring Housing Service
Program should be continued to combat housing problems in our city
where over 56% of our homes were built before 1939. We have to
continue to improve the quality and residential character or our
existing neighborhoods.
(4) We are aware
faster than the cost
Elgin citizens spend
It is estimated that
in 1982. Economists
that energy prices in our city have increased
of living. Approximately 85% of every dollar
on energy leaves the local economy immediately.
over $105 million was lost to the lost economy
expect electricity charges to increase at least
L
VOLUME XLVIII 131
15% each year and the cost of natural gas to increase over 3000/,
between 1983.and 1990.. 1 would hope that a community -wide
conservation energy task force could be formed to develop a
strategy which would benefit homeowners, industry and business`.
(5) A group of citizens have volunteered to assist in the initial
development of the city -owned 400 acres located at the Rt. 20 By-
Pass and McLean Blvd. We should encourage this volunteerism and
assist in "these endeavors as.a cost - effective measure to develop
this park. I feel that the council should address future park
developments as the responsibility of the residents and the
developer.
(6) 1 pledge to continue to work with the RTA and city staff
on our many transportation projects. I plan to continue to work
actively on behalf of our city as Vice - Chairman of the Kane County
Council of Mayors and as one of the 30 Vice - Presidents of the
Illinois Municipal League.
(7) Housing, In 1982 only 8% of families in our city could
afford a median price home; this has been reduced from the 39%
that could buy or build a home in 1973. We must devise a plan to
reduce all unnecessary regulations in the areas of zoning, subdivision
regulations and building codes to make quality housing available for
those priced out of the residential market.
(8) Elgin-0-Hare. Cooperation of our city with the State
Transportation Department, state legislators and county and local
officials to plan for the construction of the Elgin-0-Hare Tollway
or Freeway should be a high priority. 1 am convinced this connection
to O'Hare Field will open the South -East part of our city to new
businesses, industrial expansion and residential development.
(9) Our city will be celebrating our Sesquicentennial in 1985.
1 feel it is appropriate to use this occasion for a series of
community events to honor our 150th year as an incorporated city.
A goal of obtaining easements to our land acquisitions on the Fox
River along with the beautification of these land areas can be
a realization by 1985.
(10) Our Beautification Commission, established in 1975, during
my first term as mayor, has made great contibutions city -wide; This
Commission continues to work on new projects in the interest of
enhancing and improving our city.
(11) Population changes in our city during the past 15 years
have brought significant changes in our socio- economic base. We
must recognize these changes and work toward a change in programs
and policies to improve the quality of life for everyone.
(12) Downtown. I have been a strong proponent of the Enterprise
Zone Concept. I hope, that if we receive this designation from
the State of Illinois, we can fully utilize this concept with a
joint private - public partnership for strengthening and redevelopment
of the central business district.
132
VOLUME XLVIII
k
I am sure there are man other
y problems that will come before the
elected officials that we are not aware of at this time or which I
have not addressed this evening.
Some of the problems I have discussed will be resolved during the
next four years. On the others, we will be able only to make a
good beginning. It will fall to those who follow us to finish some
of our tasks. But however much we accomplish, let us hope our successors
will be able to say we did not flinch or turn aside from the challenges
of our time.

COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ELGIN, ILLINOIS
COUNCIL- MANAGER FORM OF GOVERNMENT
SPECIAL MEETING
A special meeting of the Council of the City of Elgin, Illinois,
was held on May 4, 1983, at 7:10 p.m.,, in the Council Chambers
of City Hall. The meeting was called to order by Mayor Verbic.
ROLL CALL
Roll call was answered by Councilmen Andersen, Gilliam, Hansen,
Schmidt, Shales, Waters and Mayor Verbic. Absent: None.
CONSIDERATION OF BLOCK GRANT APPLICATIONS
Mayor Verbic: The members of the Council have had the opportunity
to read over all the information received from the hearings which
were held by the Committee appointed to hear the requests of the
various groups and agencies that came in with proposals. We have
had the opportunity to evaluate this so I am going to ask that
the Council members only ask questions relative to each one of
these items.
Acquisition of a Building for Head Start
Mayor Verbic: You have all had the opportunity to read over the
data which we received on the Head Start Program, are there any
questions of the Council people in regard to this.
Councilman Shales: When the application was made they stated
that they were being asked to leave the U -46 building that they
are in, I believe that is not true and I am wondering if the
fact that it is not true and the fact that a lot of money was,.
put into those rooms to prepare them for the Head >, Start program,
if that has changed the thinking of the Plus Incorporated people,
Melvin Jones, Executive Director of Plus incorporated: It is true
some time ago we were asked to leave the facility because the
School District was anticipating using the facility for adminis-
trative offices. However, if we continue our Head Start program
from the facility it will no longer be licensable by the Illinois
Department of Children and Family Services.
would have to differ with you in terms of the amount of dollars
spent to make those rooms licensable, l don't think the school
district spent any money to make the rooms licensable for the
Head Start program. In fact we use the rooms basically as they
were with Little or no funds from the school district going into
any kind of renovations to the facilities.
Councilman Shales: I was really thinking that you used your funds
to renovate the facilities.
Mr, Jones: No, when we moved in several years ago there were no
Head Start funds or federal funds used to bring that facility up
134 VOLUME XLVIII
to licensing requirements. We are using a portion of one classroom
to serve food to our youngsters. Because it is of a temporary
nature the Department of Children and Family Services is going along
with that arrangement. However, they will not license a facility
if we are to continue providing lunch to the children from the
classrooms. In fact we have a refrigerator in one of the classrooms,
our cook is preparing the meals that are brought from a particular
classroom. In fact there is no hot water to wash the dishes. We
are mandated by the federal government to serve family style meals
to our youngsters and that entails washing the dishes and other
things that the youngsters use. We recently had a sanitation
inspection by the City Sanitation Department and one of the
deficiencies, if you will, is that there is no hot water to clean
the dishes, so that is another problem there and they need to find
a facility that will adequately serve our needs.
Mayor Verbic; How many years have you been at U -46.
Mr. Jones: We have been in the old Elgin High School since 1980 -81.
Mayor Verbic: And you say that there have been no capital expendit-
ures for the rehabilitation of this site at all and you just use it
as is.
Mr. Jones: That is correct. When we initally spoke with the school
district, they were going to place us in a section of the building
without a sprinkler system and of course as you well know your City
ordinance mandates that there are sprinkler systems in facilities
with day care, and therefore we negotiated for space in the building
in which there was a sprinkler system and there were very little
funds needed for renovations'.
Councilman Schmidt: Do you have a piece of property in mind that
you would like to acquire, or is this just to give you some funds
to look for some place,
-Mr. Jones: We have looked at several as the proposal indicates,
several facilities, we do feel however, that we would be able to
purchase for the amount indicated as opposed to the $200,000 for
Columbia School. We do feel that the $85,000 that we are requesting
would enable us to locate a facility to amply fill our needs
because the federal government or health and human services is our
funding source and they have indicated to us that any facility that
we locate, and that facility needs renovation to meet the licensing
code, then they will supply us with those funds necessary to meet
those licensing requirements.
Councilman Hansen: Looking at those facts, if U -46 would give you
a longer term lease would they also be willing to spend money in
that building to bring it up to code so that you could occupy it
for a while.
r
VOLUME XLVIII 135
Councilman Gilliam: U -46 is in the process of tearing down and
renovating their entire structure of their administrative offices
for the buildings that are located on Gifford Street and Chicago
Street® Eventually that will house all of the offices in the
district and on that floor and the second and third floors will
be offices,
Councilman Hansen: You are going to occupy the entire building
for offices.
Councilman Gilliam: There will be a combination of offices, adult
education, also we will be involved in the media center, which is
located out on McLean Blvd,, that will come into the old high school,
bilingual, payroll, which is all part of a program to renovate
and consolidate all the main offices for the district.
Councilman Hansen: My other question sir would be, you just
mentioned that you are funded right now.by the federal government,
is that correct.
Mr. Jones: That is correct.
Councilman Hansen: My next question would be if they want the
program and want it operational are they not willing to fund it.
Mr. Jones: Not to purchase facilities, that would mean that the
federal government would own the facility and they will not
purchase facilities. They will give us funds to renovate providing
there is a long term lease, but -they will not give us funds to
to purchase any facilities.
Councilman Andersen: I talked to Harvey Eisner today and Bill
Farley and they said there is no problem continuing the balance
of this school year and also for the entire 83 -84 school year.
They could not definitely foresee anything beyond that but they
had no reason to believe that they would not be able to use it
in the 84 -85 school years so they are not about to be. evicted
forthwith,
Mr. Jones: You ask the question do we have to move and I guess we
will have to look at it from two ways. Technically, if Mr'. Farley
is absolutely right, when we look at it from Mr. Farley's perspec-
tive, secondly, however, when we look at it from the Department
.of Children and Family Services perspective and the other licensing
agencies, the facility will not be licensed. No running water, no
hot water, we are preparing meals from classrooms and we will not
be licensed by the Department of Children and Family Services for
that reasons So is Mr. Farley correct, will we be able to stay,
will we be licensed and that is why we are in need of a-- permanent
facility.
Councilman Gilliam: Could we get someone from staff to answer
if we would license a health facility to serve food under the
conditions that this place is under now;
Mr. Nelson: We don't license these facilities,
136
VOLUME XLVIII
Councilman Gilliam: We must have sanitary guidelines that would f
say would we permit this type of thing to go on; In places
serving food in Elgin we have certain guidelines and regulations,
would this place, by being located here, would they meet those
guidelines. I know other places which have not meet the guidelines
have been closed down, does the same apply to this organization.
Mr. Jones: I think that when we are doing the overall licensing
process someone from your Fire Department will come over and
assess the facility, someone from your Health and Sanitation
Department, and we firmly believe that if someone came over
today I do not think that program would continue there, because
it is of a temporary nature it is being allowed.
Mayor Verbic. What is your budget for one year's time for this
program.
Mr. Jones: The total Head start program'ssbudget is $600,000.
We don't have a budget just for the City of Elgin, we are serving
120 youngsters and our per child cost is about $2,100, that
includes administrative costs, personnel costs, the monies to
operate the bus service, the teaching staff and all the materials
we provide to the youngsters.
Councilman Waters: The facility that you are in right now, yyou
say that you have a commitment through 1983 -84 and possibly 84-
85, but U -46 is not willing to say that the space that you are
in right now is yours for as long as you need it or for a certain
Tength of time beyond five years lets say. Is that correct.
Mr. Jones: No. I have heard that U -46 is saying that we have
until 1985. We have nothing in writing from U -46 that we are
in deed able to continue our program there and 1 am still under
the impression that we must leave until I hear otherwise. If
we were to receive written documentation or confirmation from
U -46 we would still have the problem of getting the facility
licensed for another few years.
Councilman Waters: It seems to me that it might cost much less
to do the renovation in the present facility than it would be to
purchase a whole new building and renovate. You are asking for
$85,000 of block grant funds and block grant funds if I am not
mistaken have been used for renovation for other projects, so it
might be possible that block grant funds could be used to renovate
the present facility assuming that the facility was available and
that might be a whole lot less than the purchase,of another facility
for renovation.
Councilman Hansen: I understand that you can get federal funds to
renovate a facility.
Mr. Jones: Yes, we can get federal funds to renovate providing
we get a long term lease. It cannot be a one or two year lease
as I am hearing the school district is willing to do.
VOLUME XLV I I 137
Councilman Shales: If a building were purchased with community
development block grant funds who would own it. Who would be
responsible for the maintenance, not the day to day particularly,
but if the furnace went out.
Roger Dahlstrom: If the city purchases any facility with block
grant funds; the city can retain ownership of the building, the
city can dispose of the building through donation. Generally,
when the latter is followed the city donates the building with
strings. In other words should the group disappear, for some
reason not be able to maintain the building property, the building
reverts to the City of Elgin.
Councilman Hansen: My big concern with this is that we are going
to open up the door to probably hundreds of similar requests to
get into the real estate business for our social agencies and our
governmental agencies. Apparently the federal government does
not feel comfortable in purchasing your real estate for you and
have a problem allocating precious HCD' funds for large'capital
improvements. What would really solve your problem would be if
you could find a facility with a ten year •lease and have the federal
government come in and renovate it for you and then you would not
need any HCD funds.
Councilman Gilliam: Have or have we not given monies to agencies
that are serving so called human needs and I -would use the Crisis
Center for one.
Roger Dahlstrom: The City of Elgin used block grant funds to
rehabilitate that structure. The City of Elgin did purchase the
Greater Elgin Senior Citizen Center for rehabilitation.
Councilman Gilliam: So for us to say to this organization this is
something that we have not done or it is unique, I think is wrong,
because we have done that before and we have helped social agencies
before as a city.
Councilman Schmidt: Is it possible that we could reduce this
amount that they are asking for and maybe that would help them
get hot water to the room where they want to serve the meals,
and then let them stay there at least another year or two. There
certainly must be hot water in that building that could be brought
over to that room, which would be much cheaper, because I feel
we have more urgent areas for this money.
Councilman Gilliam: I would like to take exception to that and
say this. We are looking at $816,000 allocation and at $85,000
which is about ten per cent for something that is going to go for
kids, 129 kids it is going to serve, if you have read your
information regarding Head Start it has been a very 'important
program for kids that have been deprived and those kids that have
been served by Head Start have improved educationally, emotionally
and socially,
138
VOLUME XLVIII
I sit and look at us look at $61,000 for Old Main for an elevator 1-,
which will serve probably no body in the city. That is a structur€
that we gave $61,000 to last year, we are looking at $61,000 this
year and I see us saying are kid's needs, people's needs more
important for us to take away from and then maybe possibly grant
or give something to a structure that will serve a museum that
no body really wants; We have poured tons of money into that
place and it has served no one, the Old Main is a nothing.
Mayor Verbic: I have gone through the list like everyone else
and for example there is the Poplar Creek flooding project in
which 102 homes and 23 businesses are involved, and the cost
benefit factor is a much better return of $400,000 from the
State and I think this is a very high priority item and is
extremely important.
Head Start has a place at the present time and I would feel
very - comfortable in looking at this again in the future and
hopefully maybe the Job Program from the State may provide
eligibility as far as money is concerned.
Councilman Gilliam: Apparently we are here,unlike in the past,
because we have decided that we don't like the decisions that
have been made by the committee that held the hearings and we
feel that there are other items that are more important. I guess
what I would like to know is how much money are we trying to cut
out to serve those programs which we as a Council feel are
important. You made mentioned of Poplar Creek and I am sure
there may be some other ones that we either had budgeted or we
had planned to get approved. So I think that what the Council
is trying to say is that we want to do some cutting and I am
saying lets pull the agenda out and see how much money we have
to cut.
I look at $61,000 for Old Main that -I believe could not or would
not be used, you talk about accessibility, accessibility . to what.
don't see much going on, there is the possibility that the funds
may not be there, I look at that as something that.could, possibly
be reduced or cut.
Councilman Hansen: I think that you are forgetting Councilman
Gilliam that the City in past Council meetings, which I was not
• part of, has made a commitment to Old Main and once you start
• program you have to commit yourself -to complete it. That is
why I am in favor of long term capital financing plans, but at
any rate I don't think you can say we can just drop Old Main
now because everyone contributed, what are you going to do just
give the dollar back to all of the kids that contributed to it.
It is a difficult project to drop in midstream and that commitment
was made by a Council several years ago.
Councilman Gilliam: To use a phase that I heard the Mayor state,,
I don't see Old Main getting off the ground this fiscal year and
he made the statement to Head Start well if you have a home why
don't you just stay where you are at and we will get you next
year and I am just saying that Old Main does'nt seem to be
VOLUME XLVIII
139
getting off the ground or things rolling with Old Main this year,
and why don't we look at that funding next year. We gave $61,000
last year, the money has not been used yet and.we are going to turn
around and give $61,,000 this year which will be $1.22,000 sitting
there drawing dust or collecting interest and I am saying in that
being prudent..
Councilman Hansen: In my mind it is, because sometime you have to
save a little money down in-,the sox to build something you want in
the.futurea. I think we have all done that in our personal lives
and I think we have to find the mechanism to do that in the city.
Councilman Gilliam: All I am saying is rather than have the money
sit there and not be used, why not put the money where it can be
used for this year and then next year if it can be used then re-
allocate it again next year,
Mayor Verbic: I met with the officers of the Historical Society,
have been concerned with the fund raising program getting started
to the point where they realistically start with the rehabilitation
of the first floor. In speaking with the officers they assured me
with the fund raising program which began last January 2nd, that
big headways have been made up to this point and they have a contract
whereby this Fall if funding is not available and that would include
the funding for the money allocated tonight that they would not go
along with the programs They feel very confident and would like to
have this included because this is part of the $350,000 which is
necessary. They have received pledges from people throughout the
city and they assured me that if they do not complete their funding
by the Fall monies will be returned to our programs in City Hall.
Councilman Waters: With the direction that the discussion seems to
be going lam ready to go on record at this point in favor of
supporting the Head Start program, but I have my concerns and before
I give my final vote l think we need to have some more conversation
with U -46, because I am not convinced that this is our only ,option,
and I am not sure that the properties that are identified for
acquisition:, first of all can be acquired for the $85,000, nor that
they necessarily have to be purchased..
I don't think there are any priorities any higher than the type of
program that we are sponsoring here. I am just not comfortable at
this point with this being our only alternative.
Councilman Hansen: I will echo Councilman Schmidt's statement that
we are not going to stop the Head Start program in Elgin whether we
pass this allocation or not. The Head Start program is goi- ng, -to
continue in Elgin because they have a $600,000 budget from the
federal government and I am not convinced at all that purchasing
a piece of property and renovating it is the cost effective way
to deliver their services; I would like to see them explore
spending a few thousand dollars getting up to code compliance
in their present facility.
140 VOLUME XLVIII
Councilman Gilliam: This Council has set aside $225,000 in our
budget and the purpose of this meeting is to cut programs to
get what we want and I think the sad thing about it is we should
have told the hearing committee we want $235,000 and you should
set that aside for us and then you can set your priorities® We
should have done that to begin with but we did it backwards
and now we have an agenda to cut $235,000.
Councilman Waters: The general procedure with Robert's Rules is
that if you are not in the prevailing side of a motion, you can
not ask for reconsideration and l guess what I am asking is that
in this process that it not be a formal Robert's Rule of Order
Process, that there be reconsideration after we have.gone through
the whole process and if there are other factors that come up
between now and Monday night, we have an opportunity for some
reconsideration, that is what I am after,
Councilman Shales: What bothers me if this is yes or no them
we don't have any alternatives and i think there are some
alternatives. It is either not staying at U -46 or buying a
building and I think there are some other alternatives.
Councilman Hansen: I do not have the 1983 budget committed to
memory could someone from staff refresh my memory and tell me
where these items were budgeted®
Roger Dahlstrom: The Council for many years has participated in
the block grant hearing process by submitting a memo that comes
from your budgetary process and this indicates what items, what
programs, during the budget process you determine should or
could be allocated to the block grant program. In the past that
list has been complied with totally, in part and not at all by
the hearing committees. There has only been one other time in
the past nine years that the City Council has reconsidered the
budget submitted to them by the hearing committee and that was
1977.
The three that were included this year were the Poplar Creek
Dike Acquisition at $85,000, a street resurfacing program,
which was initiated two years ago with block grant programs in
the neighborhood strategy area, that was budgeted for $210,000,
and an accessibility ramp for the Hemmens Auditorium for $5,000.00.
Those were the Council's suggestions per a memo submitted on
April 4th to the Block Grant Hearing Committee,
Councilman Hansen: I will make a motion that we deny the
acquisition of the Head Start Building.
Councilman Andersen: I will second that.

Councilman Gilliam: I think that I have made my position known
from the start with Old Main. I have not supported it, except
for the buck that I gave, my votes have been no basically and
my votes will probably continue to be no.
Arno Garbrecht: As President of the Elgin Historical Society
I have indicated to the Mayor and City. Manager that the Society
is still committed to this project. The mere fact that the
Society is committed to the project will not make the project
work, but we have joined with the City of Elgin because the
City of Elgin felt and we still strongly feel that Old Main
is a symbol of this community and will continue to be a symbol
of this community.
142 VOLUME XLVII
A decision will have to be made by the community as a whole within
the next six months and they are going to have to search in their
own heart and soul and come up with money. They are going to have
to decide do we want a museum in this community.
History is an educational tool, it is a mandatory requirement in
all educational systems in this country and in Europe. We learn
from history, history is reality. The children of this community
deserve to know the roots of this community; they deserve to
know our heritage and why Elgin is a great community,
made the commitment to the Mayor today, we are under a lease
to the city. The Society basically has to fish or cut bait along with the community and raise the necessary funds to get this off
the ground by the first of next year. if we don't do it obviously
vie want to see that the block grant funds that are committed be
appropriated to an area that is best suited for those funds.

VOLUME XLV111 143
Mayor Verbic: Now according to my figures we have $220,000 left
and l have given you my suggestions and I would appreciate your
coming forth at this point with yours. The three of them which
I mentioned were the flooding control by use of the Poplar Creek
property, the business rehabilitation loan program and'the business
interest subsidy loan program. Are there any other thoughts or
ideas that you would like to present this evening.
Councilman Hansen: You mentioned two items for business rehab and
business interest subsidy and I would like to know if there has
been any desire on the part of the business community for this,
Roger Dahlstrom: These two programs are elements of the city's
enterprise zone applications submitted sometime back and at that
time we indicated these programs could not exist without that,
but all of the individual organizations which supported the enterprise
zone program realized that they were supporting these programs,
one and the same, and this includes the entire Chamber of Commerce.
Councilman Gilliam: What are we going to rehabilitate.
Mayor Verbic: Any one of the stores who wish to come in for
rehabilitation of their store fronts, appearance, etc., would be
eligible to come in for a loan. Several cities have done this,
1. know Aurora recently used block grant funds for this purpose.
If a new business wanted to come into town and in order to open
they would have an opportunity to get a low cost loan and their
payment would be repaid to the program. It is just basically a
low cost loan program to get a business started.
Councilman Waters: I would like to see the rehabilitation of the
exterior of the NSH office included in that discussion.
Councilman Schmidt: I would like to see the south east streets
resurfacing discussed also. I feel a little uncomfortable about
the business rehabilitation loan program and the business interest
subsidy program.
Mr. Nelson: This is not for your consideration this evening, but
as you know you have $278,000 that you are going to have to allocate
probably in the next 30-60 days,' That money is coming out of the
Job's Bill and for you that means that money is going to have to
be spent quickly, within at least 12 months, no longer than 12 months.
Some of these items that are included here that we are not funding
lend themselves to that kind of accelerated program, and street
resurfacing' is one. In other words if you wanted to put $210,000
of that $278,000 that you are going to deal with, we could spend
that this year. So although':you are not dealing with the $278,000
tonight, think about that as you look at these other items because
you will be dealing with it in the next month of two.
Councilman Hansen: 1 share some of Councilman Schmidt's concerns,
I would like to see one or then other of those $75,000 business
help programs in there, if we do get the enterprise zoning 1 would
think we would want to include these.
144
VOLUME XLVIII
Roger Dahlstrom: If our application is successful and we are
offered an enterprise zone, we would be offered it on the basis
of an application that included both of those programs.
Councilman Hansen: I woul.d like to suggest that we split these
two business loan programs in half and offer $37,500 on each one
and then we would be funded up for at least the enterprise zone,
and we would still have $75,000 left. I would make that a motion.
Councilman Andersen: I will second that.
Councilwoman Shales: Would those be adequate funds to do anything
at all or would they be not much better than having nothing.
Roger Dahlstrom: The staff is of the opinion that any expenditure
would be made late in this fiscal year because we would go through
a period of development, so that $37,500 would not be a problem.
Mr'. Nelson:.There is another item you might want to look at and
don't try to earmark your contingency fund, but you do have $71,000
in there as a contingency for the entire program, so if you happen
to go over you could use that.
Councilwoman Shales: Do we need to split that money, or make that
decision now, we are going to spend $220,000, do we need to split
that money.
Councilman Hansen I think Councilwoman Shales has a good point
and I inay have made my motion a little early, maybe she would like
to discuss the other items that have been mentioned before we do
any voting on any of these fill in projects. If she would like
to do that I withdraw my motion,
Councilwoman Shales: I wondered what the necessity at this point
was for dividing that money up.
Councilman Hansen: on that basis I am willing to withdraw my motion,
and get some more discussion on some other items.
Councilman Andersen: I will withdraw my second to the motion.:
Mayor Verbic: Now is there a motion from anyone of the Councilmen
with regard to the additional monies which have been left for
expenditures,
_Councilman Hansen made a motion, seconded by Councilman Waters
to approve the Poplar Creek Dike Land Acquisition to control
flooding, Yeas: Councilmen Andersen, Gilliam, Hansen, Schmidt,
Shales, Waters and Mayor V'erbic. Nays: None.
Joan Blackmon, Elgin Housing Authority: It appears that the Council
is somewhat groping for places to use the remaining funds that have
not yet been allocated and I would ask that you go back and re-
consider your options. Reconsider an application that was ranked
second in priority by the participation committee because of it's
importance in providing a vital need in this community. Elgin
does have homeless people and that something has to be done to
VOLUME XLVIII 145
eliminate this problem. I guess last week there was quite a bit
of discussion about the lateness of the Housing Authority application
and matters of that nature and I think we lost sight of what we
really intended to do here. I do know an extension was given to
another group that had intent to make an application very similar
to the Housing Authority, but withdrew when they learned of our
application.
I ask that you reconsider i
community development block
letter that was sent to all
stipulates that the primary
development of viable urban
suitable living environment
for low and moderate income
i light of the primary purposes of
grant funds that was stipulated in the
of us by the City of Elgin that
purpose for these funds is for the
communities that include decent housing,
and economic opportunities primarily
people.
The Housing Authority of Elgin traditionally has been the agency that
has dealt with the problem of homelessness, and I do not have the
housing so we must look for alternatives and I ask you to consider
that.
After further discussion by the Council, Councilman Hansen made a
motion, seconded by Councilman Andersen to allocate the remaining
funds as follows:
Rehabilitation Business Loan Program $37,500
Business Interest Subside Loan Program 37,500
Rehabilitation of Exterior of Neighborhood
Housing Services Office 25,000
Street Resurfacing 35,000
Yeas: Councilmen Andersen, Hansen, Schmidt, Shales and Mayor Verbic.
Nays: Councilmen Gilliam and Waters.
Councilwoman Shales: In the future we should inform the hearing
committee as to what has been budgeted from these funds and we
should allow public service agencies to apply for ten per cent
of the funds received,
Mayor Verbic: This would be a policy that the Council.would have
to decide and vote on.
Councilman Waters: I would appreciate it if the City staff could
be involved with individuals trying to arranger for emergency housing.

Petition submitted by the residents on Sioux Drive
Mrs. Harold Holtz: This is my second trip up to this microphone
within the last few years. It seems I,am up here about the same
thing except just a little bit different. I represent the residents
of Sioux Drive in Blackhawk Manor, who have signed the petition you
have in front of you.
My husband and I happen to be one of the victims of a break.1nto
our home. We took all of the precautions that we were supposed
to take. Sioux Drive is only one long block with only two lights,
one at the intersection of Algonquin Drive and one at the intersection
of Indian Drive, nothing in between.
I will say this, since these burglaries have occurred I have had
a very nice letter from Chief Baird, I have had a;ni.ce telephone
call from Captain John Lawrence, a telephone call from an Officer
Buck about crime prevention and we residents on Sioux Drive are
very aware of what we should be doing.
What we would like to know is exactly what, if anything, is the f°
City of Elgin going to do about Blackhawk Manor, which -I believe
is at the end of the stick, for patrolling, lighting and everything
else.
Mayor Verbic: We thank you for bringing this to our attention and
I am aware of the fact that Chief Baird has written you and I know
that they are concerned as are the Council members and myself. We
are fully aware of the need for additional lighting and I have
talked to the City Manager about this and one of the first things
that we are going to approach on the basis of money availability
is the lighting situation.

PETITION 5 -83 REQl1ESTING AN R -2 SINGLE
FAMILY RESIDENCE DISTRICT SPECIAL USE
Roger Dahlstrom: The subject property is located immediately north
of and adjacent to the District's north plant. The Sanitary District
proposes to increase the plant capacity of the north plant and that
is the purpose of this petition. The Sanitary District must secure
zoning approval prior to completing and submitting it's.application
to the State for expansion of the plant. Specific site and building
plans cannot be prepared prior to State funding approval. Subse-
quent to zoning and funding approval, specific site and building
plans will be prepared and prior to construction the Elgin City
Council must conduct a public hearing regarding the proposed plant
expansion, as required by State Statute.
The subject property is approximately three acres and is unimproved
at-this time. This petition should be viewed as an expansion of
the existing facility and provision of additional treatment capacity
within the north plant service area will become critical to the
future growth and development of Elgin.
At it's regular meeting of March 21st, 1983, the Land Use Committee
recommended the approval of Petition 5 -83, subject to additional
conditions by a vote of 6 -0.
149 VOLUME XLVIII
Attorney Lyle Brown, representing the Elgin Sanitary District:
The plant as it exists is constructed on a rating of 24.4 MGD
capacity, that's the tankage and that is the way it was designed.
However, because of the effective operations the Illinois EPA
has increased the rating capacity to 3.5 MGD. This is because
the tanks are any bigger or that the facilities are any bigger,
it is because of the operating efficiencies that have been
achieved at that plant.
Councilman Schmidt: In reading this over I noticed that you are
talking about the increased growth of Elgin in the northwest area,
I also noticed that you had mentioned bringing in the waste water
treatment for West Dundee. Is this being planned now or will it
be incorporated at a future date.
Attorney Brown: The total project that would be involved in
increasing the Elgin northeast treatment plant, the pipeline costs
and some refurbishing, which Dundee is required to do to eliminate
inflow and infiltration, would amount to about $13 million dollars
in grant funds and that would be roughly 75% of the projected total
cost of the project. With the situation from Washington on down
it looks more doubtful that the entire project would be funded.
By combining this with Dundee we would take their priority number
as opposed to ours, which is considerably lower than ours which
i.n fact means higher. This would move our project into a position
to qualify for 75% funds and we are very certain that if it is
not combi:ned.wl'th Dundee we would not qualify for more than 55%
funding.
Dundee has passed a bond issue which would cover 'their local share.
They have moved forward to the point where they have been offered,
under certain conditions a grant. Dundee was faced and is faced
with the possibility of a plant redesign if the plant is not
regionalized with Elgin'.

SPECIAL USE FOR AN ELECTRONIC GAME

Roger Dahlstrom: A petition was filed by Mr. Bruse Minus and Mr.
Lambert Soto, that requests a rezoning from B -1 to B -3 and a special
use for an electronic game center. The subject property is located
at 1016 -1046 N. Liberty and 571 -575 Keep Avenue. The proposed
electronic gamecenter is to be located at 1046 N. Liberty.
At it's regular meeting of April 18, 1983, the Land Use Committee
recommended rezoning approval and special use approval subject to
certain conditions by a vote of 5 -0.
Jerry Kerley of 911 Alma Avenue: I would like to present petit.ions
opposing 'a game room at this location. (Petitions contained 78
signatures).
Kay Hitzman, 1219 Sherwood Avenue: There is no parking up there
at all, so please don't put this on the north end people.
Mayor Verbic: I know the Police Department, in reading the
transcript, they expressed their concerns about the traffic and
Mr. Deering also remarked in the transcript about the parking
problems. I travel this road each day and I am well aware of
the problem with parking in the area and also when you are coming
off of Dundee into Liberty.
Bruce Minus, 322 Hamilton.. I am the President of Wizards, Inc.,
here in Elgin. We run Wizards at 728 W. Chicago Street in Elgin.
We have been in business for two years, 1 believe that the synopsis
of our operation in letters of recommendation submitted to the
Board is a proven testimonial of how we operate.our business. We
have become a household word, not only do we attract children, but
we have the parents of the children and a strong adult clientel.
The location we are looking at, first of all, the safety of the
children, Congdon Avenue is a couple of hundred feet away, any
children coming from Larsen School do not have to cross Liberty
151
VOLUME XLVIII
or Dundee. I have been there several mornings and children are €"
constantly crossing that street going to and from school. Ryburn
Records was there, there were records and games at that point,
Sotos TV has game cartridges and Beef Villa, children frequent
all of these businesses presently.
For the parking problem, I don't believe this is going to be a
problem, basically because the type of clientel we have is usually
later in the day when normal retail business is closing. We feel
there is going to be ample parking, when you go there after the
businesses are closed there are a good 20 parking spaces available
for our use.
I feel our record in the community, we want to expand our operation
in order to sustain this type of activity in the community, we feel
that there are many people that can use our type of services, we
have excellent programs not only for the kids, but we participate
in many of the other city organizations, f feel there might be
a slight problem with the safety, but I think you have that any
where you have children and I for one am not going to put a child
in a position where he is going to be endangering himself.
Citizen: I live in that area and I work for the City of Elgin as
bus driver, that is a very dangerous area.- We have problems
already with the kids, they have those game machines at the
ice cream place and I am begging you not to put that game center
there.
Councilman Schmidt: in this petition there is a statement saying
they were going to put in a bicycle rack on the property and I
would like to know just where on the property that would be located.
Mre- Minus: Just outside the door, which is on Keep Avenue, there
is a section that is not stripped for parking, it is off the street
and that is where we will situate the bicycle rack.
Mayor Verbic: There is absolutely no room: there for a bicycle rack.
Councilman Schmidt: It says it is going to be located on the
property, that is not`on the property.
Mr. Minus:. That is on the parkway right in front of the sidewalk.
Councilman Gilliam: I feel that we have approved other game centers
throughout the city, in other areas that have been just as,hazardous
and I guess I would ask how you would expect someone to get to
downtown Elgin if they did not ride a bus, they would have to walk
or ride a bicycle to the one downtown. We approved one in Big Oaks
Shopping Center., we approved one on North Street, and people have
to walk to get there. I guess I am saying that I don't know how
else you can get around in Elgin, if you are a kid and you don't
have a bicycle, but you have to cross a street, and I assume that
most kids have crossed a street before in their lives to get to
school or get downtown and I don't see this as being any different.
VOLUME XLVIJ11 152
feel it is an appropriate use for that intersection and I feel
the excuse for kids crossing or it being busy is not appropriate.
Councilman Schmidt I would like to call it to the Council's
attention that it does say that a bicycle rack is to be installed
on the premises. This is the way the petition reads.
Mr. Minus: When you have parking facilities they are usually
considered common grounds and we don't have the bicycle rack
premises but we have had no problems with that. We have been
operating in the city for two years and I have never had a
complaint.
If you want to talk about petitions I could have put up one
that would make any petition look small, just with adults and
parents, as to how we run our operation.
Councilman Hansen: Is it legal to put a bicycle rack on a public
sidewalk.
`Attorney Blondin: We could permit it on the parkway, the Director
of , Public Works can authorize it.

It should be further noted that while the proposed subdivision is
directly related to a specific shopping center site plan,. the
approval of the proposed subdivision does not necessarily guarantee
conformance to the shopping center site plan.. The approval of the
proposed subdivision can only guarantee the configuration of lots
and the location of access points.
At the time this petition came before the Land Use Committee there
were some staff concerns, both by the Planning Department and the
Engineering Division of the Public Works Department, concerning
153 VOLUME XLVIII
proposed access points, the number of and specifically the location
of those access points, both on Big Timber and North McLean Blvd.
Our concerns were not just for the traffic but for the location
of those access points in what we felt was a bad position relative
to the turning lanes and the five lanes of traffic that stack up
at that intersection, Mr. Bill Carter, Superintendent of Highways
for Kane County, shared those concerns with us.
However, in the interim, since the Land Use Committee reviewed this
particular plan, we have met with the petitioner and the 'petitioner
has also met with Mr. Carter, and we are all of the opinion that
the access point problems have been resolved to everyone's mutual
satisfaction.
At it's regular meeting of April 18, 1983, the Land Use Commi',ttee
recommended preliminary plan and final plat approval for the ',Tyler
Creek Plaza Subdivision by a vote of 5 -0.
Mr. Bonavolonta: I represent Interstate Shopping Centers of
California which will develop the shopping center that you have
before you. We have revised the plan, we have met with the Kane
County Highway Commissionor and your staff and we feel that we
have overcome any of the problems that we had before regarding
our plan. We are now 345 feet east of the intersection of Big
Timber and 'North McLean, so we are entirely out of the stacking
lane. The plan does work out much better than what we originally
had.

RESOLUTION ADOPTED AUTHORIZING FILING
APPLICATION FOR GRANT UNDER THE HOUSING
AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT ACT OF 1974
Councilman Hansen made a motion, seconded by Councilman Andersen
to adopt the aforementioned resolution.
Councilman Gilliam: I believe that from the feedback that l have
had that there has been some discussion with the School District
regarding the facility and I would like to be privy to that
discussion.
Mayor Verbic: Nothing was finalized but preliminary discussions
will be forthcoming with U -46 and I had spoken with the City Manager
with regard to the possibility of negotiations and discussions as
far as Franklin School is concerned; The second thing that I have
been aware of is on Wing Street where the rehabilitation place is,
I "believe there are 23,000 square feet and this might be an excellent
place for the Head Start program. This may a site that has been
overlooked and I bring it to your attention as a possibility of it
being used for that purpose. I do know that there is a firm lease
with U -46 until June, 1984, but we are also going to be discussing
with U -46 officials the possibility of Franklin School.
VOLUME XLVIII 154
Councilman Gilliam: Even though we are in the process of discussing
with U -46 the possible lease or the use of 'Franklin School, would
the Council entertain a suggestion or a motion that in case that
would fail that we would be willing to allocate $85,000 for this
year that would be necessary to help Head Start to purchase a
building.
Mayor Verbic: I spent a lot of time looking , ovei -,the; last eight .years
of this program. and the City of Elgin at the inception of this
program, going back to 1974, we have allocated a tremendous amount
of money, for example, Lincoln School, Clifford / Owasco, St. Francis,
Ryerson Park, Watch Court, Grolich Park, Observatory Park, Clifford/
Frazier and the Wing Street Tot Lot Playground, you are talking
about almost $800,000.
We have allocated money for curb, gutters and sidewalks,, and we
are mandated by the Act to use this money In the low and moderate
income areas of the City. We have given the Neighborhood Housing
Services with over $300,000 in the last four years in establishing
their program. The low cost rehabilitation program, which effects
everyone in the City of Elgin, we have allocated $820,000 in a
period of five years.
What we have tried to do rather than raise city taxes is to use
this money for capital expenditures and if we did not allocate
the money as we have been doing for the last eight,years in any
of these programs which I have just mentioned, the money would
have had to come out of the taxpayers. Some cities have allocated
their -money to social services and they have had to raise their
taxes.
Councilman Gilliam: I think your comments a
in the past show our wisdom and our guidance
the community by allocating this money, that
been enlightened and had the foresight to do
taking a step backwards into darkness by not
Head Start.
:)out,what.we have done
that we have given
shows that we have
that. Now I see us
giving ; this, money `to
Joan Taylor-of 1066 Highland Avenue: I am proud to be here as a
private citizen on behalf of some 858 petitioners to present these
petitions to the Council tonight. One caring woman became concerned
about what she saw as an inequity in the Community Development Block
Grant planning last week, when the Head Start funding was omitted,
and she started this petition.
Some twenty people spent part of Mother's Day distributing this
and many were signed in our City's churches. Had we had another
week obviously there would have been hundreds more and there will
be more sent to you;
The Head Start program provides an opportunity for three year olds
and four year olds to feel from low income families to find out
that society cares about them by enriching their lives with
supportive atmosphere.
155 1 VO "LUME•XLVIII
I would like to read the petition: We the undersigned residents f'
of the City of Elgin do request that Mayor'Verbic and the other
members of the Elgin City Council reconsider their priorities
on the disbursement of the federal block grant funds. We believe
the children are our most precious asset and hope for the future.
With this consideration in mind, we request that Mayor Verbic and
the other dissenting members of the Elgin City Council reverse
their pr -ior decision, support the development of human potential,
and release the necessary $85,000 for purchase of a building for
Operation Head Start.
Doretta Williams;+ President of the League of Women Voters:
Because of the abbreviated nature of the HUD hearings thi's year
various civic groups did not have a change to correlate their
various proposals and have a change to hear what each others
proposals were. The League has always ° supported funding that
benefits human services, such as Head Start and the Emergency
Housing Service that has been requested by the Housing Authority.
'We feel that HUD block in spirit was meant to support these
kinds of social services; because funding has not gone into it
in the past does not mean that those children are not still
there and they still need the funding and the help from the
HUD block funds.
'Counci'lman Waters: If we are to reconsider the resolution is
the only vehicle we have to get to the reconsideration of the
budget.. I don't see any other way to get before the Council
a reconsideration of the budget except to attach it 'to this
motion to approve this resolution.
Attorney Blondin You could make a motion to amend the budget at
this time.
Councilman Hansen: I would view that as being unfair to the other
applicants =. We,have had a public hearing, at which time - proper
notice was given to all the participants and I don't'think' that
would be fair to them unless they were present to speak in favor
of their part:i.cu'lar items. -
Councilman Gilliam: You have had people from the League of Women
voters voice a concern. You have had people from the educational
system express a concern, ministers from the community express a
concern, about the needs that are being neglected and "I think
you have had a.voice from the community saying that we are not
addressing the needs that are very important.
Councilman Waters: I would like to give us something to consider
and I would like to make a motion and after 1 have made the motion
I would like the opportunity to explain why I have done this. I
would make the motion to amend the motion to approve the resolution
by reinstating in the budget for the HCD Funds $85,000 for the
Head Start program and I would do this by dropping $35,000 from
the south east street resurfacing, $25,000 from the NHS Office
Exterior Rehabilitation, and $25,000 from the Old Main Handicap
Accessibility.
VOLUME XLVIII 156
I would include in that motion that these funds be allocated for
a period of six months and if not obligated within the six months
period, the priorities originally stated be reinstated.
Councilman Gilliam: I second that motion.
Councilman Waters: I have worked with United Way in a variety of
capacities. One of the privileges that I have had in working with
United Way was working through a process of trying to establish
additional child care centers in the City of Elgin, which was a
priority of United Way.` The efforts which we initiated at that
time were unsuccessful and the funds that had been dedicated to
that were reallocated to other agencies when we were unsuccessful
in reaching our goal in our campaign that year.'
That priority still exists, there still exists a need within this
community for additional child care programs. Head Start is not
a baby sitting program, Head Start is breaking a lock step cycle
for low income families and it is giving children a chance that
they have not had before. We are not 'building by purchasing a
building, we are not building in a continued subsidy of the Head
Start program, we are building in a one time allocation of funds,
it will not be returning to the City for continued subsidizat.i.on
in the future and thus higher taxes.
In the public hearing we heard that we have an additional $278,000
to be allocated and that $278,000 are funds that have to have
immediate allocation and utilization. The south east street
resurfacing and the NHS office exterior rehabilitation were projects
identified that could very easily be spent in the time period that
we had described to us for these additional funds. That is the
reason I have chosen to drop the funding from this budget with
the thought that they could be reinstated with the additional funds.
Roger Dahlstrom: The six month time frame will be very difficult.
We will not have environmental clearance of funds that we apply
for immediately. Additionally, no one has an idea of where this
site is yet, consequently it may take a little bit of looking.
To purchase property with federal funds, property of this
expenditure level, we would have to g6f at"lea5f two independent
appraisals and we would have to spend a little time in negotiations.
If you are going to include it I would suggest a somewhat longer
time period, otherwise you will be making it very difficult to
achieve at all.
Councilman Waters: Before the question is put to the body I will
change that motion to ten months if that is more acceptable than
six.

COMMUNICATIONS
Chicago Home Builders Association of Greater Chicago.
Mayor Verbic: We have a report tonight from the Chicago Home Builders
Association of Greater Chicago and representing this group is`Ed
Sorenson, who has been active in the home building industry in Elgin
for the past twelve years.
Ed Sorenson: I am here tonight as President of the Greater Chicago -
land Housing Foundation and I want to thank you Mayor Verbic and the
rest of the Council for allowing us to take a look at Elgin's building
codes, zoning ordinances and subdivision regulations.
The Fundation turned to the Technical Committees of the Home Builders
Association of Greater Chicago for help in this assignment and their
people put in a lot of work in bring this report to you. I have asked
several of them to come here tonight and help present this report.
Since you have not had a chance to read it, I have asked them not to
discuss the findings of the report, but merely to tell you how it was
prepared and what they did in preparing it. I am certain that they
would be very pleased to come back at an appropriate time and meet
with whoever you might designate from the City to discuss the
a;
165 VOLUME XLVIII
recommendations in the report. If l may I would like to introduce �...
Arleen Struck, who headed up this particular report. Arleen is
construction superintendent for KRSS Development Corporation and
she is also Chairman of the Techn1cal Codes Committee of the Home
Builders Association.
Arlene Struck:- On behalf of the Home Builders Association of
Greater Chicago I would like to thank you for giv -ing us the opportunity
to open the lines of communication between your municipality and our
organization. We are pleased that you felt that we had people with
the kind of expertise that you felt might be of some value to your
efforts here in the City of Elgin.
Primarily our report is broken down into two parts.- The building
code analysis was assigned to a special sub-committee, it was
spearheaded by Mike Harkins, who is an associate architect with
W. E. Nelson and Associates. The subdivision regulations and
zoning ordinances were assigned.to the Land Development and Zoning
Committee and that was spearheaded by Michael Ives, Land Planner
and Landscaper Architect. At this time l would like to call these
men forward to-give their explanation of the analysis.
Mike Harkins_: I- and my committee have reviewed the building codes
and building regulations that you currently now have in force in
the City of Elgin. When we reviewed your codes we basically reviewed
them as to content and the basic amount of up to date codes that were,
in force at this time. Items that go past the intent of codes were
looked at and seemed at the time not to be as relevant as they were
when they were originally written.
We went basica;iiy to many different federal agencies, also the
President's commission on housing this year in Chapter 16 has
addressed just exactly what we are trying to do with your City's
codes, and basically at this ,point that is what we have used for
a basis for the report. Many of the recommendations that are
addressed in that report have been used by ourselves also..
We also were in touch with BOCA International_, which is headquartered
in Chicago and have used many items that they have ,helped us with
also in this code review. I would like to make sure that you realize
that the code review recommendations are just recommendations at this
point. Any ideas that you have, any questions that you have on our
recommendations we.would like to have a part of your review of those
recommendations and possibly the implementation of the recommendations.
Mike Ives: We have been working on this project for about six months
and we had a concerted, coordinated effort with two committees of
Home Builders Associati.on,of Greater Chicago. The ranks of that
combined committee is about 42 members, We have about 20 .builders,
12 architects, engineers, planners, attorneys that are well vested
in municipal type governmental work and we have other allied
professionals We believe that we have been able to simulate a
group of professionals that are highly qualified, probably the
most qualifed in the Chicagoland area and we are basically very
proud of our work and we hope that we can sit down and talk with
the City staff of Elgin and other members that you so duly appoint,
to review some of our ideas and concerns that we have made mention of
VOLUME XLVIII
We have spent hundreds of hours in reviewing the Elgin codes and
reporting our ideas to you. We believe this ,is a.fantist.ic idea
on behalf of the City of Elgin, from the standpoint of Elgin's
recent amendments to the comprehensive plan. We believe that the
building code, the zoning ordinances and subdivision regulations
are basically the implementation arm of the comprehensive plan.
Unless you have something, that is current, practicable,_ workable,
you are not going to go anywhere.
We have some new planning concepts, engineering concepts, such
as TRD (transfer development rights) or performance type zoning,
rather than a standard in a zoning just for the sake of having
a standard, without having any purpose. We have provided what
we feel to be recommendations of the zoning -a'nd subdivision
regulations to provide the needed housing in an affordable. manner,
As Mike Harkins and Mr. Sorenson stated we welcome the opportunity
to sit down with the planning staff and go over our recommendations.
Mayor Verbic: We will take the opportunity to look this material
over and then put it on a Committee of the Whole Meeting for
discussion. We appreciate your time and effort.

a vote of 4 -O and one
Rob Kramer, Attorney for the Petitioner: The church is the
purchaser of this property under an agreement which calls for
contract payments over a period of time. in February, 1981
the property was zoned B -1 and innocently the church has been
in existence acting under what it thought was a permitted use
as a B -1. So when that particular question had come to the
attention of the church we filed our petition to bring it In
line with'the construction that the staff and Corporation Counsel
has given to the use of churches. I might point out that there
is no special catagory for churches in Elgin, so every church
presently is in existence is a special use in some zoning catagory.
'Councilman Waters In'the Public Hearing there was a question
about the inspection of the property and whether or not the church
had received information about what was going to be required in
terms of bringing the property up to specifications, and apparently
that was never communicated.
Roger Dahlstrom: They were advised of th.e requirements for off -
street parking, are you - referring to the specifics of the building.
Councilman Water's: Yes.
Rob Kramer: I was at the meeting and one of the ,Fire inspectors
during his routine inspections did have an opportunity to walk
through the facility with Reverend Marks and I think we have
correspondence indicating the types of updating that was necessary
to bring it within compliance. It is my understanding, and 1 think
it is accurate, that those were not any major improvements that
were going to require any substantial expenditure..,To answer your
question we have an awareness of what has to be done'.
Councilman Waters: I am wondering if that should be part of the
approval. of the petition, if there are requirements to be fulfilled.
Roger Dahlstrom: This approval would be subject to all applicable
codes and ordinances.

Evelyn Rose, 452.E. Chicago Street
I have been trying to get some kind of a consideration for property
at 452 East Chicago Street. With a lot of 66 x 125 it has been
used for three apartments, but not legally, and now they tell me
that the code will not allow me to have that for three apartments,
because of lack of parking space.
1 have sent diagrams, I have sent letters, showing that there is
ample room to park six cars in back, there is a two car garage
and 1 am asking for consideration of a variation of that code.

Councilman Schmidt: What was the negotiation that took place. Was >.
Wilb's too high and you negotiated with him and not the others.
Leo Nelson: The reason we did not discuss it with the other bidders
is because they were not selling a Snapper mower at that price. They
were offering other type mowers which we recommended that you reject.
If you want to reject this and bid it over again we will do that.
Councilman Waters: I would point out that this is a local bidder
and we are in the season when these are needed.
Leo Nelson: If you accept the bid, he is the low bidder.

PETITION 12 -83 REQUESTING A B -3
SERVICE "BUSINESS DISTRICT SPECIAL
USE FOR A TRANSPORTATION FACILITY,'
PROPERTY LOCATED AT 100 WEST CHICAGO
ST'REET'BY THE RTA - APPROVED
Roger Dahlstrom: This petition has been filed by the Regional
Transportation Authority, requesting a B -3 Special Use for °a
transportation °faclli -ty, mainly a bus terminal, on' property located
at 100 West Chicago Street: -
The subject property is approximately 21,000 square feet and is
presently improved with a gravel parking lot. The general area
of the subject property is zoned B -3 and at it's regular meeting
of May 2, 1983, the Land Use Committee recommended the approval
of Petition 12 -83, subject to certain conditions, by a vote of
Bill Werst, 2245 South Street: I like the proposed design of the
bus facility, but I am concerned about the fact that the station
is designed for the westbank of the river when the main part of
the downtown is on the eastbank of the river. All of the buses
coming into the downtown would circulate through the commuter bus
station Many people now that are utilizing buses get off on
Grove Avenue, in the heart of the downtown, and unless we arrange
some special transportation to get them from that bus facility
across the river in the winter time, or in the rainy 1 think we
are going to defeat our purpose in trying to attract people to
come downtown and shop, if they have to use the RTA.
Another thought, are we as residents of the City of Elgin dictating \
what will be done with our town or are we letting someone in Chicago
come in and tell us they are going to build a bus facility on the
westbank of our river, which will not be as well utilized by the
VOLUME XLVIII 185
people of our community, if they have to walk back and forth across
the bridge.
I realize there have been many other discussions prior to this, I
know that it has been several years in the working, but in light
of things that are coming about in the City these days, with this,
with the bus garage out by the State. Hospital, the train stations,
the commuter parking lots, can we not consolidate a few of these
facilities as well. I would like to see the Council address some
of the concerns of the total RTA package as mentioned in the
Comprehensive Plan, which you are also going to consider.
Mayor Verbic: We have worked on this particular project since
1976 and there really is not a good site in downtown Elgin and
this particular site was the City's selection for a bus facility.
We have also discussed in the past a covered walk from the bus
facility to the downtown area and this is _a possibility that may
be addressed in the future.
Ray Moller: Anyone who would ride the bus from the eastside
would get off the bus in the downtown area before it would go
to the terminal facility. Individuals using the system on the
westside could use the free transfer policy and get on another
bus that is going to the eastside and get off in the downtown
area. This is not a problem, and operationally it is going to
be a great asset for us.
Councilman Hansen: We always seem to need parking downtown, or
have in the past, what would it cost to include in the facility
parking accomodations and would it be cheaper now, and how could
we get the RTA to pay -for it.
Ray Moller: At this stage it would not be a very wise thing to
do and it would probably just put this project off that -much
further.

to approve Petition 12 -83. Yeas: Councilmen Andersen, Hansen,
Schmidt, Shales, Waters and Mayor Verbic. Nays: None.

D ADOPTING A COMPREHE
Councilman Waters: I would move that we pass the ordinance adopting
a Comprehensive Plan for the City of Elgin, and I would include in
that motion a request that the records show appreciation on behalf
of the Council to the Community Development Planning Staff and to
the Planning Commission members for their efforts in bringing this

Councilwoman Shales: I -will second that motion.
Councilman Hansen: I think that the record should show that we are
adopting a Comprehensive Plan.as- amended by the City Council by
deleting the words City -Wide from the systematic housing inspection
program, described on Page 6 of said Plan. I don't think the Planning Committee went back and submitted that as amended and I
think the record should show that as amended,
Councilman Waters: I would agree to incorporate that in my motion.
would like to suggest with the adoption of the Comprehensive Plan
I think we need to direct our City staff to begin working with the
Economic Development Commission, including our Planning Staff, and
looking at the boundaries around the community and begin to take
aggressivesteps towards our planning in that direction.

RECOGNIZE PERSONS PRESENT
Attorney James Hallock: I am here for two reasons this evening.
First of all I would like to thank the Council and the City staff
for your participation and cooperation with our Ethenic Fest. I
feel it was a great success and the Jaycees feel it was a great
success. 1_
My second reason for being here is to inform the Council that the
Jaycees would like to undertake a project this coming August, either
VOLUME XLVIII 197
the second or third Sunday, in the nature of a Corn Boil, very
similar to the Corn Boil put on by the Fire Department in Sugar
Grove. We would like to hold this in Wing Park and right now
we are faced with one technical problem. Although we can
qualify as a non- profit group for a license to sell beer,
unfortunately beer is not permitted in Wing Park.
We would like to take advantage of the Park setting as well as
the bandshell for some entertainment during the afternoon and
I am here on behalf of the Jaycees to ask if there is a way that
the City could amend the particular ordinance to allow this type
of activity to take place.
Councilman Schmidt made a motion, seconded by Councilman Waters
for this matter to be referred to the Elgin Liquor Commission
for their recommendation. Yeas: Councilmen Hansen, Schmidt

JOBS BILL H.C.D. ALLOCATION
The Council reviewed the following staff recommendation:
1. Southeast Street Resurfacing - This project is located in
a portion of the Neighborhood Strategy Area (NSA) where only
limited H.C.D. funds have been expended. The plans and
specifications for this project are prepared thus, this project
could be initiated and completed quickly. Also, because of
the project cost, staff feels that the contract document can
contain provisions for hiring unemployed persons as part of
the work force without undue cost to either the contractor
of the city. Estimated Cost - $150,000.
2. Exterior Rehabilitation of the Neighborhood Housing Services
Office - This proposed project is for the rehabilitation of the
exterior of the NHS office located at 326 East Chicago Street.
Additionally, NHS has applied for matching funds from the Illinois
Department of Conservation. If successful in obtaining matching
funds this project would become a restoration project. This
structure is owned by the city and is leased to the NHS.
Estimated Cost - $25,000.
3. Transitional Area Parking Lots Improvement - The city parking
lots located on Dundee /Center /Villa and Geneva streets are
highly visible to motorists (as elements of a major entryway)
and to neighborhood residents (as elements of the transition
from commercial to residential land use). The existing parking
lots have no landscaping and little screening. The proposed
project is to provide screening and landscaping to as many of
these parking lots as possible with the remaining Jobs Bill
funding. The parking lot that would have first priority for
improvement is located of the northwest corner of Villa and
Fulton streets adjacent to the Yankee Doodle. Improvement
of this parking lot would link the ECC and Spring Street
Projects to Geneva Street). The remaining parking lots would
be evaluated on visibility, potential impact and other factors

COMMUNICATIONS
Correspondence from Dr. Walter E. Gasser, 300 N. McLean B.Ivd..:
"I am Chairman of the Building Committee for the Apostolic
Christian Resthaven Intermediate Care ,Home. We would like to,
build a 49 'bed intermediate -care home with attached unlicensed
congregate living apartments on Highland Avenue west of Randall
Road. I am writing to you specifically to obtain your endorsement
of this project for purposes of the Certificate of Need._ The
Apostolic Christian Church is committed to caring for its sick
and elderly individuals and many years ago they were left with a
will which commissioned them to build such a facility. The shelter
care home at 971 Bode Road was built for that purpose. However,
since that only accepts individuals who qualify for shelter care,
most of the individuals, both friends and members of the Apostolic
Christian Church, do not qualify for that Home. Traditionally
their philosophy was_to remain in their own homes or family's homes
until they were totally disabled or incapacitated and in need,of
intermediate nursing care. For that reason the Church would like
to expand its facilities and provide for such a home. By building
a 49 bed home, the needs of the members and friends would be met
and room would be available for additional people from'the community
who share the same philosophy as far as health care is concerned.
199 VOLUME XLVIII
We believe this will offer something unique to the Elgin area for Y`_
those individuals who are interested in residing in a church
affiliated home: We would like to proceed with this as expediti-
ously as possible and anticipate that the Certificate of Need could
be acquired within four months; For that reason, your endorsement
of this project will be greatly appreciated,

Correspondence from Bruce Minus, President of Wizards, Inc,:
"'Wizards, Inc., requests that it be allowed to address the City
Council at the June 27th, 1983 Council Meeting, to discuss and
appeal for the motioning to reconsider and approve - 'Petition 10-83
of the May 9, 1983 meeting."
Bruce Minus: I am here,,-tonight to ask the Council to reconsider
Petition 10 -83 which was denied at your May 9th meeting.
understand that one of the Councilmen who voted no must make
the motion to reconsider.
I am going to be taking an empty building and occupying -i't:
There will be extra revenue to the City, also I will be adding
fulltime and partime employees, who are residents of the City of
Elgin. 1 now employ 16 people.
I have children coming to my establishments from all over Elgin,
some 22 miles away, and I say that another place would decrease
the travel and eliminate any potential danger. I will attract
people to Elgin, as l have done already. Plato Center, Hampshire
and South Elgin people come to my facilities because of the
programs I have for the children.
would also like to submit a petition with 460 signatures and I
would like to read it: Wizards of 728 West Chicago Street has
proven to be an asset to the community. Wizards' has always
positively interacted with our youth in providing a place that
is safe, supervised and enjoyable.
We the undersigned firmly believe that Wizards should be allowed
to expand its operation to 1046 North Liberty Street in Elgin..
Again I am requesting a motion, because I feel that I have answered
some of the questions and concerns that you had.
Counsel Jentsch: Mayor, although your rules do allow you to
reconsider a matter, the rules also limit you to reconsider this
at the same meeting at which the vote is taken, or at the next
regular meeting. if I understand the gentleman the.vo:te was taken
on May 9th, therefore a reconsideration would have been required
at the regular meeting on May 23rd.
VOLUME XLVIII 200
Under the rules you have lost the power to reconsider this even
with the motion coming from someone on the prevailing side.
Councilman Shales: I would like to know what the next step for
Mr. Minus is.
Counsel Jentsch The ordinance restricts the refil.ing for one
year. Another recourse would be judicial, a suit challenging
your decision.
Mr. Minus: No one told me about this rule and I do not feel that
I have been treated fairly.

PETITION 13 -83 REQUESTING AN R -4 :SPECIAL USE
FOR OFF- STREET PARKING PROPERTY LOCATED
SOUTH OF 145--SUMMIT STREET - - `APPROVED
Roger Dahlstrom; Planning Director: A petition has been filed by
Attorney Ben Rifkin on behalf of Manor Enterprises, that requests
an R -4 special use for an off - street parking lot. The subject
property is located south of 415 Summit Street.
The petitioner desires to establish a restaurant at 415 Summit
Street_ Required off= - street parking for the existing restaurant
building is approximately 27 spaces.
The "rquested special use for accessory off - street parking would
provide an additional 22 parking spaces for an approximate total
of 30 parking spaces to serve the existing restaurant building.
The subject property is approximately 6,500 square feet and is
unimproved.
At its regular meeting of June 6, 1983, the Land Use Committee
recommended approval of Petition 13 -83 subject to certain conditions
by a vote of 5 to 0.
Councilman Andersen: Mr. Rifken, have all of the City's requests
been complied with.
Attorney Rifken: I believe you have before you the Committee's
recommendation-and on Page two they say thetoff -"tr eet.yparking
lot is to be developed in substantial conformance to the Site
Plan prepared by the Planning Department, and compliance with
all other applicable codes and ordinances.

VOLUME XLVIII 202
PETITION 16 -83 REQUESTING A REZONING FROM
R-2 SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCE DISTRICT TO
0 LIMITED OFFICE DISTRICT, PROPERTY LOCATED -
AT 523 NORTH McLEAN - - APPROVED
Roger Dahlstrom: The intended us for this property is 'a dental
office. The property is approximately 14,250 square feet and
is improved with a single family residence.
Directly north of the subject property is the Calvary Lutheran
Church which is zoned R-2 special use. The area located east
of the property is zoned R -2 and developed with single family
residences.
There are 3 single.family residences, zoned R- 2,_;and a duplex
zoned R -3., located south of the property. Schock's Greenhouse
and ,a residence, zoned B -3 are located west of the subject
property across the street.
At its regular meeting of June 6, 1983, the Land Use Committee
recommended approval of Petition 1 6 - 83. On a motion to deny
the petition, the vote was 2 yes and 3 no.
Attorney Flanagan, representing the petitioner: 1 would like '
to point out the,,street.we are talking about is McLean Boulevard,
The trend in development in that area for the last 12 years has
been a commercial development.
I have heard and read the staff recommendation, using the word
piece meal zoning and 1 would ;point out that 80% of McLean
Boulevard. from Kimball School to Wing Street is now used in
uses other than "res,idential uses. The request that'we have
made is for 0 zoning use,
Walter Bartels,, West, Dundee, representing Calvary Lutheran
Church presented a letter to the Council protesting the rezoning
of this property.
Councilman` Shales: Has the Council set any kind of precedence
for this type of request. it looks like what I consider spot
zoning or is this just considered ohe by one as they come along.
Mayor Verb -ic: I don't feel there has been a policy established
for this since we passed the initial 0 zoning concept and we
have had applicants come in for different areas requesting 0 zoning.
Councilman Schmidt: I am going to vote no on this request because
of the recommendation of the Planning staff and also l feel that
if the neighbors to the south of them would want the 0 zoning`
they would petition to say they were in approval of it and this
we do not have, so I still feel it -is -a spot zoning in that one
block,

Mayor Verbic: Attorney Flanagan, this is just the petition and

ORDINANCE PASSED AMENDING THE OFFICIAL
SALARY PLAN OF THE CITY OF ELGIN ILL.
Councilman Hansen : - This ordinance does not really state anything
about the fact that the Corporation Counsel position would become
a fulltime position and it does not address his duties or responsi-
bilities in any depth. This has been discussed-in a work session,
should that be included in this ordinance.
Mayor Verbic: I think we have directed to the Manager that the
special assessments, bonds and the industrial revenue issues shall
be included under the duties of a fulltime corporation counsel and
-there would be no extra fees. associated with this position on a
fulltime basis.
Leo Nelson: Salary plans typically don't describe the duties and
responsibilities of any officeholder. This is simply -an amendment
to`the salary plan. i think you are correct, it's generally under-
stood that this is a fulltime position and the incumbent would
receive no additional fees. This is simply a- standard amendment
to a salary ordinance, if you want something else it might be
appropriate to put it somewhere el -se, but not in-the salary ordinance.
Councilman Shales: When do we address how the Legal Department is
going to structured, when we have a fulltime corporation counsel do
we then also have a fulltime assistant, do we have a part= t+me_:assistant,
when is that addressed and who addresses that. -
Mayor Verbic: I think that what we are addressing tonight is the
ordinance before us and I don't think there has been any consideration
of the city attorney full or partritime.
Councilman Hansen: I don't have my work session minutes with me, but
think we were specific on the scope of work that we Wanted this job
to include. I think it would be in order that we possibly consider
a job description.
Mayor Verbic: As Mr. Nelson mentioned this is amending the official
salary plan to include the position Corporation Counsel to Section 1
of the ordinance, and I don't think that would address what you are
asking for.
VOLUME XLVIII 204
Councilman Hansen: I thought we asked for that to be addressed at
the last Council Meeting in a work session. I thought a motion was
made and passed to create the job of a fulltime corporation counsel
and that we were going to deliberate and vote on an ordinance to
that effect!;
Leo Nelson: i think you are dealing with two separate issues here.
This ordinance simply sets forth the compensation for a fulltime
corporation counsel. The duties and responsibilities for a
corporation counsel, or any ocher position in the City is found
in the position plan which is maintained in the personnel office.
Councilman Hansen: Since our last meeting I have thought about this
a little bit more and I notices that one of the things that we will
be creating with this salary range is the probability that at some
time the corporation counsel will be making more than his boss, and
would like to throw that open to my fellow Councilmen for their
consideration.
Leo Nelson: The boss is not intimidated or offended, managers
very often make less than the ball players.
Councilman Andersen: In order not to make anybody to unhappy at
the manager's level, why don't we pare this down to some of the
earlier figures that we had. I came up with something rather fast,
if we modified the first position to $3333.00 per month and then
go up to $4375.00 per month, at the other end of the scale, that
would seem to be not too much above the City Manager's salary.
Councilman Shales: I really think we need to plan for this move
and I really think that establishing the salary range before we
even have a good idea of what kind of a person we want to hire;
are we going to include outside counsel from time to time, or
do we expect this man to be able to do everything. I really
would like to see some better planning go into this decision and
1 think the salary is one of the last things to be decided, not
one of the first things.
You can make a salary range but the education and background that
you want this person to possess also will indicate what kind of
salary you are going to have to pay him and that is what I think
the salary comes after you decide what you want the person to do.
Councilman Andersen: In any event that is not a decision of ours
to make, who gets hired, or his qualifications, background, experience,
or whatever. We are making a decision tonight on wether or not that
person should be fulltime and how much they should be paid.
Herb Gross: I understand that the City of Elgin is self - insured
up to a certain amount in terms of law suits. I would just hope - -®
discussing the salary, the salary proposed, any of them so far
is far more than I make, so I have no hesitation in saying that
I think it should be more because I don't think you can hire a
competent attorney for the amount that I make.
205 VOLUME XLVIII
I think that if there is such a large sum that the city will have to
pay out if it loses a law suit, you might well consider who you are
going to attract at whatever figure you set.
Ron Janes, President of Elgin Precision and Glass: I was here to
see the proceedings tonight as it pertained to this issue for the
purpose of addressing the question of whether or not there is to
be a fulltime legal person with the.city and that is not quite what
is being addressed here, so I will not comment too much on that.
am for the City putting on -a legal counsel and as far as a question
of payscale, yes, there is nothing in stone as Councilman Andersen
said, it could be amended in the future, but I think you should start
the ball rolling and set a payiscale.-
Councilman Andersen made a.motion, seconded by Councilman Schmidt
to adopt the aforementioned ordinance and amend the pay scale in
Step 1 to $3333.00 per month, ascending on graduating scale to
$4375.00 per month in Step V1. Yeas; Councilmen Andersen, Hansen,
Schmidt and Mayor Verbic. Nays: Councilman Shales.

RECOGNIZE PERSONS PRESENT
Herb Gross, 833 Prospect: I wanted to speak tonight about the City
pools, where I have been taking my family for the last 8 or 9 years,
and which I think is one of the best things the City has going for
it during the summer.
We had an
unfortunate accident earlier.
I sincerely
hope
that
accident
will not cause any disruptions
in the use of
the
pools
VOLUME XLVIII
222
or any changes in allowing people to swim there because this accident
did occur. I think it was unusual,. I don't expect things like that
to happen again;
I would like to suggest that if there is a concern for preventing
these in the future then perhaps it might be considered to lengthen
family swim where there would be parents who could give supervision
to kids and eliminate some possibility of things like that occurring,
but I would hope that pools and use of pools would not be curtailed
because of this unfortunate accident.
Catherine Lange, 1122 Century Oaks Drive; I would like to ask the
Council to please change their decision on when the City was able
to sell season family passes. There was a two day limit, I think
Saturdays only, and I .just don't think that was enough time for
families to get their season passes.
If I have to use the coupon system the rest of the summer it will
cost me about $160.00, 1 think that is rather unreasonable. I
don't really object to the $60.00 family swim pass, but two days
was not much of an opportunity to buy the pass. There were'a lot
of people who were not able to get the passes in these two days,
so what I am asking is could you please reconsider and open it
up so that people can buy a pass.
I understand that with the photo identification you don't have the
camera available, but if we could do like they did last year, which
was to bring a small photo down and have it laminated on t "o the
family I.D. pass, that was suitable with Parks and Recreation last
year and I think that would be suitable now for. anyone who wants
to get a season pass. If I can't get the season pass I won't be
using the pool as frequently.
Leo Nelson: I have talked with Mrs. Lange several times on the
phone and I told her that the only way the policy could be changed
would be by your action. Your motion was specifically only to sell
season passes on those two Saturdays and at no other time. After
that Saturday we had 10 or 12 people who called to see if they
could buy season passes and they were turned down, because that
was your limitation.
I believe the season passes have dropped from about 700 last year
to about 170 this year, but coupons are selling quite well.
Councilman Shales, Would it be possible to establish additional time,
are there any problems.
Leo Nelson: I would suggest that if you are going to do that as
Mrs. Lange suggested bringing in their own pictures because we
cannot set that camera equipment up, it is used by the Transportation
Department. It would be better if they brought in their own
pictures, we could have them laminated down there and then sell
them the season pass during regular business hours.
223
VOLUME XLVIII
Councilman Hansen: I would be willing to be a little more
flexible here without creating a burden on the Park's Department,
will make a motion that we sell season passes to residents who
bring in their own picture and get their own card laminated two
mornings a week for four hours. The days can be picked by the
Park's staff, to commence tomorrow and continue for four weeks.
Councilman Schmidt: I will second that motion.
Yeas: Councilmen Andersen, Hansen, Schmidt, Shales and Mayor
Verbic. Nays: None.

ON
Roger Dahlstrom, Acting Planning Director: A petition has been filed by J. W.
Spencer of American Medical Buildings and John A. Graham on behalf of Sherman
Hospital that requests an amendment to Planned Unit Development Ordinance No.
G24 -80. The proposed amendment provides for a three story medical office`
building to be located on the northeast corner of Slade Avenue and Center
Street. The expansion of the existing surface parking lot located south of
Slade Avenue and west of Center Street and the replacement and expansion of the
existing oxygen storage area located on Spring Street. The proposed expansion
of the existing surface parking lot would require the vacation of the westerly
14, feet of the Center Street right of way between Slade Avenue on the north
and Lincoln Avenue on the south.
The subject property is approximately 11 acres. The property is improved with
a 418 bed hospital and 983 off- street parking spaces. The surrounding land use
and zoning is primarily residential. The areas located to the south, west,
north and northeast of the subject property are zoned R -2 single family; the
area located southeast of the subject property is zoned R -3 two unit. The
surrounding land use is predominately single family interspersed with some two
family residences.
At the special meeting of May 31, 1983 on a motion to approve the Land Use
Committee recommended the denial of Petition 15 -83 by a vote of three yes and
four no. Sherman Hospital is represented by legal counsel, Mr. Leo Flanagan,
and members of the Northeast Neighborhood Association are also present.
Jane Cook, member of the Northeast Neighborhood Association: I will limit my
remarks to the findings of fact that were given to you dated July 5. They
are a summation of the Land Use Committee series of hearings and I would like
to point out that there are some inaccuracies in this summation, specifically
under Departures from Zoning and Subdivision Regulations, the majority of the
Land Use Committee has found that the requested departures from the zoning
and subdivision regulations to be in the public interest. Rather than
delineating each of these specific responses that are listed here, I would
like to point out that in reading the transcript you will find all of these
findings are not accurate. The Land Use Committee did respond in their final
vote of four votes against and three in approval of the petition in denying
this and I'm concerned that you should read these findings you may be misled
as to what was actually occurring at the Land Use hearing.
247 VOLUME XLVIII
Hank Rozycki, member of the Northeast Neighborhood Association: We have had
hundreds of hours of conversation regarding this application with Sherman
Hospital and City staff. You've seen the testimony from the hearings and
there is not much more that can be said, but I would like to emphasize that
the Northeast Neighbors are not against Sherman Hospital. Our concern is
that this is a commercial building, doctors are an integral part of health
care, but at the same time there are other doctors office buildings, there
is land in the City itself and on Route 25 and in other areas where this
doctors office could be located. If these 30 doctors have their office
there because it is better for their patient care, then why shouldn't all
the doctors be clustered within a couple block area of the hospital, and
where does something like this stop. If this was a request being submitted
by the doctors and they were going to be buying the property, then the
reaction of everyone would be a lot different. This is a commercial building,
it is for the doctors, and it is not for improved health care. The applica-
tion that was submitted to the City Council is dramatically different than
the application that was submitted to HSA. In the HSA application it was
worded quite strongly that this is a commercial venture, that it is primarily
for the benefit of the doctors and that Sherman Hospital will get some
benefit from this, but it is for the benefit of the doctors. We brought up
the ownership issue, which the hospital counsel says is a non- issue. It is
an issue, whether people like using the word ownership or not, our suggestion
is rather than the counsel for the hospital determining ownership the issue
should be directed to the counsel for the City and the ownership issue and how
it complies with the PUD ordinance should be determined by counsel for the
City, which I would hope would be impartial.
The application also includes a long range plan. There are 147 foot towers
included in the long range plan, which might be the maximum height these
buildings could be, and they have minimum setbacks, like 10 feet away from
the right of way, which is much too close. They have to be laid out that
way according to the hospital because the layout of the current surgical
wing would comply in that area. The surgical wing was built without any
approval from the City, which is how we got into this entire PUD process,
If we had gone through the proper procedures when that surgical wing was
being built, tiaen- everything could have dramatically. changed. If the
application, as submitted with the long range plan, is approved, our concern
is that there will be an assumption by Sherman Hospital that in the future
that although they have to go through the Land Use Committee that they can
assume this Council has recognized that those 147 foot towers, two of them
in the middle of a residential area without proper setbacks, are basically
being approved also. We've said if this were.an emergency ward; a °neonatal
center, a new heart care center;or.:something like that, that we would not
be opposing it. Next time, what's going to happen is that you said you
wouldn't oppose these projects, but it's going to be the 147 foot towers
that we are going to be accused by the papers again of being a mindless
opposition to the growth and future developments of the City.
The northeast neighborhood, if you drive through it, there is a lot of improve-
ment going on, there is a lot of pride in the neighborhood. We have other
strong neighborhood organizations like the Gifford Park Association, The
strength of Elgin is going to be in its neighborhoods. I agree and understand
fully that we need industry and that we need jobs in Elgin, but if we don't
have strong neighborhoods, you're not going to have anyone shopping in those
stores in Elgin either, or the proper types of people that you want to work
in those different locations. This is not an area that requires any redevelop-
ment, it is a strong neighborhood.
VOLUME XLVIII 248
I would suggest that if you have not had enough opportunity to go through all
the transcripts which were provided to you in detail, rather than just going
through the summary reports that were provided, that the discussion be delayed
until such time as you have all had enough time to review this. This is an
important issue, and, of course, we do request denial.
Councilman Gilliam: Are you saying that you're against the whole concept;
is this a yes or no proposition, it's either this or nothing, or is there
some happy medium that would satisfy you and your neighbors.
Hank Rozycki: We have had negotiations with the hospital for about seven
months. We provided the Land Use Committee with all documentation between
Sherman Hospital and the Association. The only change that has taken place
from that first plan that was put in the newspaper was the hospital dropped
the retirement village concept and we did come up with a long range boundary.
Those were about the only two changes. We requested on numerous occasions
that they reconsider the ownership issue, that the hospital own the land as
well as the building, which in everything the land use department has put
together has said that the hospital has represented to counsel and them that
they will own both the property and the building. We requested that, that at
least the hospital would have control of the building. Once they issue leases
and they have the doctors in there, they really do not have, according to what
counsel has told us, the lessee is the one who has control of the building in
that case. We have requested also that if they were going to go ahead with,the
medical office building that they restrict it to the super specialists, the
doctors who have most of the patient care in the hospital. They see fewer
patients, there would be less of a traffic impact, less .parking required and
the hospital would get. -,th s e types of patients who need that type of facility
that the hospital would be able to offer. Both of those suggestions have con-
sistently been turned down by the hospital for any number of reasons, including
the tax benefits which could accrue for the doctors if they own the building.
My question is, if it is better health care; wouldn't it be as good economically
in one case as in the other case.
Councilman Gilliam: The way I understand it, the hospital owns or leases to -
doctors and by doing that, that puts it on the tax rolls.
Hank Rozycki: Mr. Flanagan, as counsel for the hospital, in his testimony to
the Land Use Committee said that it could go on the tax roll in either case.
Councilman Waters: Rather than just being the ownership issue, from a neighbor-
hood organization and the impact on the surrounding neighborhood, what is your
concern about the ownership, whether it is hospital or doctor?
Hank Rozycki: There are a lot of very large homes in the area and at some
point those homes may become more difficult to sell and the doctors may start
looking at that and assume since there is a doctors office building a block
away, why can't I buy this home in the middle of a neighborhood or on another
convenient corner and set up practice in one of those homes, and /or if a
home is torn down or there is another property convenient to the hospital but
that the doctors buy personally, once you establish the precedence for doctors
office buildings in the neighborhood, that precedence will probably stand,,
within reason.
Councilman Waters: The ownership of the building that is being proposed,
whether it's owned by the hospital or owned by the doctors, would not be
establishing a precedent for the scenario that you're presenting to me.
249 VOLUME XLVIII
Hank Rozycki: If the doctors own the medical building, it will be a building
owned by a not -for- profit organization, which really is completely different{
from any other real commercial venture.
Councilman Shales: I understand that one of the problems you have is that
the long range plan is attached to the PUD ordinance.
Hank Rozycki: The long range plan is part of the application which is in
front of you this evening.
Councilman Shales: You're afraid that if this is approved, that that will
also appear to give approval to the long range plan.
Hank Rozycki: Correct.
Councilman Shales: I can understand that concern. Can that be spelled out
somehow in the ordinance?
Attorney Jentsch: Although action on the petition would not constitute
approval of the plan, it would in the future be persuasive in determining
whether other parts of the plan should be approved. That is, if you are
aware of what is being planned and permitted part of the implementation`at
this time and nothing changed between now and the time of the next step of
implementation was presented to you, I think the City would be hard pressed
to deny approval at that time. The corollary to that is the hospital having
taken the position that that is their long range plan would similarly find
themselves in a difficult position to proceed in a different manner, unless
some circumstance developed that we're not aware of at this time. "
Councilman Shales: The issue of the unified control of the PUD, as I read
it unified control can be a group of people, so I think the ordinance would
have to spell out what the use of the medical office building is limited to.
Attorney Jentsch: The zoning ordinance tells us that unified control can be
more than one owner, as is the case here. Owners of different tracts can
combine to have a planned unit development. The issue of the Council is
whether it can structure an ordinance that will protect the integrity of the
medical complex, that it will be a single integrated use and not a combination
of different uses. The application meets the requirements of the 'zoning
ordinance in that it is a site under single ownership and control as it is
presented to the City Council. The question then becomes within the plans
of the hospital will their future plans act in such a way as to interrupt its
continued unified control. That is something you have to determine from the
application, from the transcript and from any questions and answers that you
may hear tonight.
Councilman Shales: I'm not clear on whether the building is going to be leased
or whether parts of it will be sold.
John Graham: We appreciate the opportunity to explain Sherman Hospital's
planned unit develpoment amendment application. An on- campus medical office
building will result in the improved effectiveness of Sherman Hospital's
health care delivery system for the citizenry of Elgin and surrounding
communities and is required for several reasons.
VOLUME XLVIII 250
Because the primary purpose of both the hospital and the physicians is to
care for the patient, we will begin with the advantages to the patient as the
most important reasons for this project.
(1) Improved care for in- patients as the hospitalized patient benefits from
the geographic proximity of the physician because the campus based
physician is only seconds away from his critical patients and is better
able to provide treatment, more frequent rounds and closer supervision
of patient care,
(2) Improved care for emergency department and intensive care patients as
critically ill or injured patients can benefit by the immediate avail-
ability of physician specialists for the emergency department and other
trauma center activities in time of community need or disaster.
(3) Expanding medical knowledge has led to the development of sophisticated
treatment techniques and expensive diagnostic equipment which are only
available- to physicians through a hospital. This arrangement also
permits cost containment by avoiding duplication of expensive diagnostic
equipment and therapeutic services that would otherwise have to be
purchased and provided by physicians remote from the hospital.
(4) Greater specialization of physicians to treat the different parts of the,
body for diseases requires physicians to work closely together on the
hospital campus for the most effective patient referral consultation
from one medical specialist to another.
f
(5) The growing emphasis on ambulatory health care or out - patient care
requires the proximity of both the hospital and physician which
facilitates efficient, convenient referral of private office patients
and also prevents the fragmentation of the health care delivery system
by centralizing all of these resources on,one campus.
(6) The clustering of physicians on the hospital campus improves communica-
tion between the hospital and physician and insures greater participation
in the hospital's educational program.
(7) Sherman Hospital will be assured of a more stabilized patient census
through support of its on- campus physicians which will contribute to the
financial viability of the hospital.
(8) Sherman Hospital will be able to recruit physicians by having an attrac-
tive, convenient, accessible medical office building as the need arises
in the community due to retirement, death and relocation of existing
physicians.
(9) The medical office building represents a major investment of at least
3.7 million dollars in the Elgin community that will enhance economic
development, maintain as well as create jobs and provide an additional
form of revenue in the form of real estate taxes for the City of Elgin.
We have reviewed all of these reasons on at least twelve different occasions
over a six -month period with representatives from the Northeast Neighborhood
Association and the City Planning Department staff and have asked for their
input and have responded to their questions and concerns. The purpose of
these numerous neighborhood meetings was to foster understanding of this
project by reviewing all studies and materials and to incorporate their
suggestions and concerns, where feasible, in the final plans that are submitted
251
VOLUME XLVIII
tonight for your consideration, We believe our application respects the
residential character and integrity of the neighborhood surrounding the
hospital and will be a positive addition to the northeast end of Elgin as
well as the entire City. Specifically, Sherman Hospital's current project
reflects this participative planning process which has resulted in a com-
promised and balanced plan with the neighborhood, with the City and with
the hospital as follows: The building in its design and scale is sensitive
to the nearby residences and is located in the primary development area
north of Slade Avenue. Another compromise to this planning process was
improved off- street parking, without razing any hospital -owned homes, and
thirdly, the elimination of the retirement life care center from our long
range concept plan and finally the establishment of a buffer zone of
hospital -owned homes and a neighborhood park in the secondary development
area south of Slade Avenue.
What about the medical office building being an appropriate use? As you have
read in the transcripts, on- campus medical office buildings are'considered
appropriate as well as reasonable uses to a hospital. This judgment is
supported by the City Planning Department staff, the Land Use Committee, the
Kane, Lake and McHenry County Health Systems Agency and the Illinois Depart -
ment of Public Health Planning Board. Studies evidenced that on- campus
hospital medical office buildings are a nationwide trend and currently more
than half of all of the hospitals in the country have developed or are in the
process of developing such facilities and programs on their campuses. All
comparable hospitals located to the east of Elgin have medical office buildings
and it is necessary for us to remain competitive. A certificate of need has
been issued by the federal and state health planning and regulatory agencies
for this project addressing not only the germane health care aspects, but the
additional parking needs as well. The manner in which off - street parking needs
will be met and will be provided is by restriping and expanding by 141-i feet
the existing surface parking lot south of Slade Avenue. This respects the
neighborhood and City Planning Department's attitude regarding the razing of
homes at this time. The parking plan alternative was also cost- effective
and does not compromise the convenience or functional capacity of Center
Street between Slade Avenue and Lincoln Avenue. This parking plan is con-
sistent with our long range concept plan boundaries and land uses. The
hospital is committed to providing adequate off- street parking facilities and
does not desire to return to the on- street parking problems that we had in front
of private residents homes that preceded the development of the parking deck in
1981..
You have just heard the opinion that such a medical office building is a
commercial venture and therefore may be an inappropriate use in a residential
neighborhood and is unacceptable as an enterprise associated with Sherman
Hospital. It should be noted, however, that the Land Use Commission and the
City Planning Department considered a medical office building an appropriate
accessory use for our hospital. Some people seem to overlook that a hospital
itself could be considered a "commercial venture" because it permits physicians
the opportunity to earn a portion of their living by rendering care to their
hospitalized patients. In addition, there are many physicians who are
categorized as hospital -based physicians who earn all of their income treating
patients in an out - patient or inpatient capacity at the hospital. Examples
of such physicians are emergency medical specialists, pathologists, radiologists
and anesthesiologists. Furthermore, other commercial enterprises also legally
exist in the northeast neighborhood, and such examples are D.C. Cook Publishing
Company, medical and dental offices and retail outlets, as long as they comply
with the zoning code as the medical office building project does. The United
States Hospital System, since its inception, has been built upon a partnership
VOLUME XLVIII 252
between the private practice of medicine and the not- for - profit voluntary
hospital system and is predicated upon the free enterprise system which we
are all so proud of as one of the major strengths of our economy. We,
therefore, have great difficulty in understanding the logic of the allegation
of propriety and commercialism and feel it represents a dispute based upon
emotional opinion rather than substantiated by facto A medical office build -
ing and the patient care activities that take place within its walls are no
different than the patient care activities that go on within the walls of
Sherman Hospital. A medical office building is indeed a logical extension
of the hospital's out - patient services as well as being compatible and well
related to customary hospital use.
The City Planning Department and the Land Use Commission have also documented
that this zoning application conforms to the standards in the PUD ordinances.
The approach with which this project is being developed and financed will
yield economic benefit for the entire Elgin community and help to assure the
financial stability and viability and independence of Sherman Hospital which
is a major contributor to the economic and employment base of the Elgin area.
It is worth mentioning at this point that a hospital is like any other business,
it must progress and it must move forward or it will stagnate and become a
liability to the community. It must also be emphasized that the ultimate
benefit of locating physicians on campus is what it will do to improve
patient care and health care services in general. Shorter patient days,
subsequent lower costs, less duplication, more consultation, more frequent
patient visitation, better supervised patient care all testify to the positive
effects for the patient. Broader, more an -depth coverage of hospital services,
improved educational programs, increased efficiency of the hospital and the
greater availability of the physicians and services all ultimately contribute
to the health and well -being of the people of the Elgin community.
We respectfully request that you favorably consider our zoning amendment. TAe
also will be happy, if the Council requests, to further describe this project
using the plans and diagrams we've brought with us this evening.
Councilman Shales: Do you plan to lease the building to doctors or do you
intend to sell space.
Attorney Flanagan: It is not a condominium development; It will be leased.
At the conclusion of the lease the building will revert, just as any lease,
to the landlord, which will be the hospital.
Councilman Gilliam: How long is the term?
Attorney Flanagan: It has not been decided, but it will be long term, 30 to
40 years. The doctor will be permitted to sublet, however, there will be
restrictions in the lease to the extent that the hospital will insist that
the use be a compatible use. The hospital is only interested in providing
the services that doctors can provide.
John Graham: I can assure you that we will in the covenants of the land lease
that we provide to the physician partnership restrict the use to medical office
buildings because we are very concerned about how the building is maintained
and operated and rented and that is the only purpose for the medical office
building is to keep it as a medical office building for doctors who are in good
standing on Sherman Hospital's medical staff.
253 VOLUME XLVIII
Councilman Waters: When you permit doctors to sublease their space, how will
Sherman Hospital maintain control over the mix of specialties? Will you be
able to?
John Graham: Yes. The control over the types of physicians that are in the
building are very important to make sure it becomes an effective and efficient
building. We will maintain a balance of doctors. They will have to come to
us because we are the coordinator of the development of this building.
Councilman Andersen: I could support this project with one glaring exception,
and that is the vacating of 142 feet of right of way on Center Street. If
that is not done I would have to vote no to delete that portion of it. I
don't believe that we should continue a precedent that has been established
and that is vacating streets for thisor any other kind of enterprise with
the exception of perhaps a governmental body wanting to vacate a street or a
portion of it and I would be willing to. support this with a variation in the
parking requirements and the stipulation that the lot on Center Street and
south of Slade Avenue be restriped to accommodate the present day smaller
cars and let the hospital go with their existing surface parking down there.
Councilman Waters: Regarding the mix of specialists, has the hospital estab-
lished an ideal mix in your covenants which you will address and maintain
throughout the term of the lease or whether that mix is happenstance by
persons who have expressed an initial interest on a first come first serve
basis.
John Graham: We control the people who are going into the building.
Councilman Waters: Will your covenants maintain that control even though
the physician can sublet the parcel that he initially controlled?
John Graham: We will control that through the covenants in the lease as
some practices of medicine would do a disservice to the whole function of
the medical office building.
Councilman Waters: My concern is not so much with those that you would
prohibit because of their specialization and not being applicable to the
hospital as much as concentration of specialization. In maintaining your
mix rather than having a concentration of specialists develop over the years.
John Graham: That would not be an advantage or benefit to have it become
imbalanced when the ideal function of the building is to maintain proper
balance of specialists so we can get full utilization of our ancillary
services and hospital use and have different specialists available to the
emergency department and other services of the hospital. That would be con -
trolled through the covenants,
Mr. Spencer from American Medical, Inc.: The precise form of control has not
yet been determined, but there would be a control mechanism built into the
landlease which would give the hospital something like the first right of
refusal in the event empty space were to be released to another physician.
So they,would have a maintaining ability to control the mix so it would be
beneficial to everybody.
Councilman Waters: The only motivation for not maintaining that mix may be
that there is vacant space and you may have a person who is ready to come
in and has the money up front, but is not a part of that mix.
VOLUME XLVIII 254
John Graham: In that case, we would go back to the hospital's right of first
refusal and we would buy that space so that we could control it until we got
the proper doctors in the building and that would be maintaining.
Councilman Gilliam: If this is approved, what is to stop the hospital from
coming back and saying if we can't expand and take more homes, then we want
to go up and built a 147 foot tower? How can that be avoided? The office
building is a nice concept, but what's going to stop it from being a highrise
facility that stands out above everything else in a residential neighborhood?
John Graham: If the office building is there or isn't there is not going to
make a difference on the heights of the building. Basically, because we have
limited ourselves to the primary development of the hospital we imposed limita-
tions four years ago that we would only build hospital facilities in the two
square block area bounded by Spring, Cooper, Prospect and Slade. What we have
is the ability to replace the existing hospital as it becomes physically and
functionally obsolete to the east. The surgical wing is Phase I of our master
development plan. We have a plan that shows the total hospital fully developed
to its maximum potential with the expansion of the medical office building.
These buildings have been laid out with effectiveness and efficiency in mind
in the operation of a hospital and the configurations of the building are
almost predetermined right now because of the surgical building being in
place with the underground facilities, mechanical equipment that are in
place already, we are locked in in where we can develop the lines of the
building.
Councilman Gilliam: If you try to prioritize your needs over the next few
years, would it be more beneficial to put some other medical facility where
you're going to put the medical office building?
John Graham: No. Where the medical office building is located, it will not
interfere with the replacement of Sherman Hospital nor will it give us any
space to limit the height of the buildings.
Councilman Hansen: The thing that I'm most concerned about is the street
vacation. How much parking is gained by giving up the street, and I under-
stand none of the parking facilities are full and if that is the case, why
are we vacating the street prematurely?
John Graham: Right now we have 983 spaces. With the restriping and vacating
we will have 1108 parking spaces for the hospital. What it does is put us in
compliance with Ordinance No. G24 -80 which forces the hospital to provide 928
parking spaces, which is 2.22 stalls per bed at an 85% occupancy and fulfills
the 180 additional spaces which we need for the office building.
Councilman Hansen: How many spaces would you get in the south lot if you
just restriped it?
John Graham: If we just restriped that-lot we would get 393, that's an addi-
tion of 118 spaces. The vacation would aad 43 spaces.
Mr. Beebe, who did a parking study in 1980, stated that the 2.22 factor was
developed with the staff of the Planning Department to provide a realistic
parking supply for Sherman based on an 85% occupancy level. That was a
compromise figure based on the generally accepted 2.35 spaces per bed in
urban area hospitals and the 2.0 which was then and still is the base number
in the Elgin zoning ordinance. It was done because of the extensive curbside
parking in the neighborhoods
255
VOLUME XLVIII
Councilman Shales: I believe it's been some time since you have had an 85%
occupancy leve, what does it run now?
John Graham: Approximately 72 %.
Councilman Shales: I have a problem with vacating a portion of a street for
parking spaces that I really don't see a need for.
Councilman Hansen: I believe without the street vacation the hospital would
meet the City requirements for parking, is that correct?
Roger Dahlstrom: It's part of Ordinance No. G24 -80. I believe it was estab-
lished in deference to the neighborhood concerns about parking on the streets
by people utilizing Sherman Hospital. The planning staff has not had an
opportunity to review any alternative parking plan for the area south of Slade
so we cannot comment on whether or not only 43 spaces would be lost. In
addition, I would like to state that one of the reasons for the development
of a medical office building is to increase the census at the hospital, so
perhaps there is parking available in abundance now, it may not be true with
the medical office building in place.
Councilman Waters: I would like for Roger to respond also to the suggestion
that the vacating of Center Street establishes a precedent that would be used
by others in the community.
Roger Dahlstrom: I don't know that it would set a precedent in that those
decisions are always your decisions and they could always be evaluated on a
case by case basis.,
Councilman Gilliam: My question is if we eliminate the 43 spaces, will we
then have the neighbors coming back to us saying the hospital people are
parking in front of my house and on the side streets.
Roger Dahlstrom: One of the concerns of the Northeast Neighbors is parking
on the streets, which is why we have even contingent plans beyond the present
recommended required parking.
Councilman Gilliam: As a compromise, could we say that we would not vacate
the street but leave that option open if parking should become a problem.
Roger Dahlstrom: That is up to the hospital, if they will accept that. It
should be considered that they will be developing the parking lot with curb
cuts and islands which can be expensive to change.
John Graham: We feel this medical office building project is so important
that we would be willing to move ahead without the partial vacation of
Center Street, if everyone understands that should the patient activity
increase and we get into a parking problem in the future, that we will
work with the Planning Department and Traffic Committee and put a petition
in front of you for either a vacation or the razing of three homes to provide
a 40 to 45 space lot in this area.
Councilman Gilliam: Can we get some feedback from the Northeast Neighbors? _.
Hank Rozycki: We would like to avoid the destruction of more homes. If
other alternatives are not available at this time, our preference is the
vacation of the 142 feet of Center Street versus tearing down more homes in
the neighborhood.
VOLUME XLVIII 256
Councilman Gilliam: Would you be willing to accept our waiting before vacating
the street?
Hank Rozycki: I cannot answer for the entire organization,
Harriet Akemann of 262 Lincoln: We own three properties and we strongly
object to the narrowing of Center Street which is already a narrow street
and with snow removal it could create a problem later.
I would like to stress that we have suggested to Mr. Graham that they relocate
the medical office building to an area where they would have perimeter parking
then build another parking structure east of the existing parking structure.
I do not favor tabling the possibility of vacating Center Street to a later
date, because I think that would eventually happen if a medical office building
goes in.
Jane Cook: It is not appropriate to be vacating any of Center Street since
the hospital does not at this time own all the homes on Center Street.
Councilman Andersen made a motion that the request be granted with the excep-
tion of the vacating of 14Z feet on Center Street and to give the hospital
a variation in the parking ordinance, seconded by Councilman Hansen,
Councilman Shales: Will the ordinance clearly state the limits of the use of
the office building?
Attorney Jentsch: The ordinance will include the 20 plus conditions that were
recommended and among them is the condition that it will be used for medical
office purposes only.
Councilman Waters: I speak in opposition to the motion as it has been made.
It seems the Council is taking the position of opposition to the vacating of
that street on the basis of principle and not on the basis of need or the
determination of need and I'm not convinced in my own mind that that being
a precedent for others is valid. I don't think the vacating of the street
for this project establishes a precedent for anyone else and I think, in
fact, it is compatible with the intent of the total project. I would speak
against the motion as it has been stated.
Councilman Gilliam: Are we saying that we will never vacate it or that the
option is there? The motion stated that that would be out of the petition.
Mayor Verbic: That could be addressed in another petition,
Attorney Jentsch: You would not be in a position to restrict a future council
from taking such action as it might determine at that time, it can always be
vacated at a later date.
Hank Rozycki: My personal opinion is that I would rather have the project go
ahead with the vacation of that portion of Center Street based on the avail-
ability of parking,
Councilman Hansen: I'm going to support this motion as sometimes these things
have a natural progression and the vacation of the street on the next phase
of the hospital's progress may be a moot question. I appreciate the fact that
the hospital is willing to compromise here to satisfy this request,
257
VOLLM XLVIII
Jane Cook: Our concern is with the neighborhood as an entity. It's one
thing to talk about going down the road and looking at things in the future.
Our concern as a neighborhood group is the well being of the neighborhood.
It can become a mushrooming problem, if there are parking problems the
desireability of the neighborhood as aplace to buy into will be affected and
is something that needs to be provided for ahead of time, you cannot constantly
be making up for the parking needs.
Mayor Verbic: The legal counsel has looked over my aspect as far as voting
and they see no reason according to the laws of the State of Illinois that I
am not allowed to vote as I have absolutely no pecuniary return as far as my
involvement on this particular issue.
Councilman Waters I find myself forced to vote against this motion because
of the vacation of the street. I'm supportive of the medical office building,
but find myself having to vote against the project because of the vacating of
the streets

Councilman Waters made a motion, seconded seconded by Councilwoman
Shales, to award the bid for Water Billing Forms to the low bidder,
Triad Business Forms, Inc., for a total amount of $1564.80.
259 VOLUME XLVIII
Councilman Waters: I would just like to take this opportunity to
mention an interest that I have with this billing form. A year ago
when we revised this form so that information could be disseminated
to the community on the billing form. We also established a process
whereby the community could feedback information to the staff as an
assessment, and to my knowledge that process has not been used. It
has been used for disseminating information, but I don't believe that
we have done anything in terms of obtaining feedback from the
community, and I would like to personally encourage the staff to
consider that.
Leo Nelson: We have from time to time asked you if you wanted us
to query the public on a particular issue and we have never received
any clear direction on that. You are right, the provision is there
to do it and we have used it for publicizing events and doing certain
things, but we have not asked any questions, but mainly we have been
waiting to find out if the Council as a whole is interested in getting
a response to a particular question.
Yeas: Councilman Andersen, Gilliam, Hansen, Schmidt, Shales, Waters
and Mayor Verbic. Nays: None.
BID AWARDED FOR 1983 VEHICLE LICENSE APPLICATIONS
Mayor Verbic: We had a low bidder who was involved in an automobile
accident on Route 20 and 59. The bid for the license applications
was to be here by 11:00 A.M., this bidder called and stated the fact
that he was involved in the car accident and we do have the State
Police Report, which is included with the bid. This gentleman did
not reach City Hall until 11:40 and his bid is approximately $700.00
less than the next highest bidder and I really feel this low bidder,
Uarco Sales should be considered, if he had not had the accident he
would have been here on time.
Councilwoman Shales: How do we stand legally in this instance, is
there any excuse in being late to a bidding.
Mayor Verbic: In Section 4 it recites that Section 1 of the Instruction
to Bidders reads "The City of Elgin reserves the right to reject any or
all bids, or any part thereof, or to waive any informalities in any bid,
deemed to be in the best interest of the City." So we have the right
in this particular case to accept the low bidder if we so desire.
Councilman Andersen: Mr. Mayor, do we have a legal problem.
Counsel Jentsch: If you determine that the competitive bidding process
was not affected, I think it would be within your discretion to award
to the low bidder. However, you do have the problem of finding yourself
judging every case where there is a low bidder in the future, as you
have done in this case.

Councilman Hansen; Mr. Sarro, you are sure that the integrity of
the bidding system was in tact.
Mr. Sarro; In this particular circumstance sure, there would be no
way for him to have known, we received no phone calls from the time
the bids were opened until the time that he walked in.

to remove Petition 25 -82 from the table. Yeas: Councilmen Andersen,
Gilliam, Hansen, Schmidt, Shales, Waters and Mayor Verbic. Nays: None.
Roger Dahlstrom: This Petition has been filed by Robert E. Schroeder,
which requests a rezoning from M -1 to R -4 /M -1 P.U.D. and preliminary
plan approval for a mobile home park. The subject property is approxi-
mately 60 acres, of which approximately 16 acres are located within
the Poplar Creek Flood Plain.
At it's regular meeting of October 18, 1982, the Land Use Committee
recommended the approval of Petition 25 -82 by a vote of 4 yes and
2 no. The petitioners are present tonight to answer any questions
about their petition.
Attorney William R. Ketcham, representing the Petitioner: I don't
want to go into detail because I think you have the transcript of
the Land Use Committee along with all the recommendations of the
staff, plus other memorandums. The proposal is for a 255 units
for a mobile home park.
The matter has been pending for approximately two years. In an effort
to comply with all of the requirements and desires of the staff and
the City, Mr. Schroeder has been working with the staff,and in an
effort to alleviate objections by adjacent property owners, he has been
working with the staff.

VOLUME XLVIII
As most of you know the Schroeder family resides in Elgin, they are
businessmen in Elgin, the existing Schroeder Mobile Park has been
in existence I believe approximately 26 years. it is now going into
the third generation of ownership. The new project will be under the
same ownership, the Schroeder family.
The existing Schroeder Mobile Home Park has approximately 220 units
on 24 acres: This is a stable community, there are some families
that have been there for more than 20 years, so you have a stable
community development. We propose that will be what the new project
will be also.
The Schroeder family has had all these years of experience in maintaining
the mobile park, they have done a good job, and they are proud of their
park, and there is every reason to believe that the same will be true
in the operation, maintenance and carrying on of the day to day
activities on the new project.
We propose to provide afforable housing of an alternate type to your
apartment or condominium living and that is what this project will
provide. It will provide decent places for people to live. It will
provide residences for the elderly, the retired and the younger people
who are attempting to get a start in their first home.
The proposal provides for fifty per -cent minimum adult occupancy only,
and fifty per -cent maximum family occupancy, or with children.
f'
By way of general benefits to the residents who would live in the
project. In addition to the availability of the housing itself, you
have the reception, the recreation building, which is included in the
plan. You also have the park area and the outside recreational area
for the benefit of the people in the park. You also have provided
by the developer the street snowplowing, the garbage pickup and
storage facilities.
With regard to benefits to the City and I think there are benefits to
the City. You will have the water loop, you will have some 255
separate meter hook -ups, which will provide that many minimum water
bills for the City, that produces revenue for the City and the City
has the water to sell.
With regard to general revenue for the City and other related bodies
know you have an interest in the Elgin Sanitary District. With
regard to sales tax, the initial sale of the average unit for the
mobile park will produce some $76,500 in sales tax. With regard to
the real estate tax, the existing park that Mr. Schroeder operates
has about 24 acres with 200 units and rounding the figures off they
have about $60,000 in real estate taxes, including the office building
in the existing park.
You have a net acreage, after setting aside the detention area and the
open space, about 47 acres, so the same tax formula would apply and
you have about $120,000 in real estate taxes.
VOLUME XLV111 262
With regard to the Sanitary District there would be some $51,000
revenue to them by reason of the hook -ups. Also there would be a
$9,000 cash donation to the School District as a part of the project
and as I mentioned earlier it would serve to create an attractive,
needed community development on this acreage.
Finally with regard to the roads, the storm water and sewerage systems,
they are privately owned, privately maintained and would be at the
expense of the developers and not at the expense of the City.
The key issue here is whether or not the proposal is good for the City
of Elgin and good for the residents of the City of Elgin. I think
you will find that it is in fact good for the City and good for the
residents, and I think the proposal and project should be accepted
and should go forth.
Attorney Paul Smith, representing Tony Ceresa: We filed a petition
with the Clerk of the Council on August 4th, which I think everyone
has a copy of those objections. The First National Bank of Elgin,
as Trustee, is the owner of the property, to which Tony Ceresa is
the beneficiary.
Mr. Ceresa owns twenty per -,cent of the land fronting the property
which is here before you for rezoning. Our objection is strictly
based on the Illinois Revised Statute which provides in essence that
in the case of a written protest against any proposed amendment to
the regulations or districts, signed and acknowledged by the owners
of twenty per -cent of the frontage proposed to be altered, or by the
owners of twenty per -cent of the frontage immediately adjoining, or
across an alley therefrom, or by twenty per -cent of the owners of
the frontage directly opposite the frontage proposed to be altered,
is filed with the Clerk of the Municipality, 'the amendment shall not
be passed except by favorable vote of two - thirds of the Aldermen or
Trustees of the Municipality then holding office.
We own more than twenty per -cent of the property and we are filing
this objection on the basis of any zoning of any type. We predicate
the fact that the trailer park does not upgrade a community. A
mobile park is something that is high density and I think the City
of Elgin should be concerned because for the simple reason that
instead of having high density you try to upgrade your area.

1 am concerned that the School District is not in force here this
evening, complaining simply for the reason they are enjoining a
school district. A mobile park is not going to support a high school,
'` or a grammer school.
263 VOLUME XLVIII
What sort of people do you get in a mobile home park. Either you
get transientions or somebody that is going to come in and buy a
trailer, if they can't make it they can walk away. What does the
developer do, he rents it out to anybody that comes along, so that
he is generating cash. He is not concerned about the surrounding
communities, the homes that have been established, the people who
have been living here for years. I think it is the concern of any
City Council, do we want to look at more density.
At the present time Mr. Schroeder on his 220 mobile park unit was
assessed $71,772 for the last several years, Mr. Schroeder has
appealed to the Cook County Board of Tax Appeals and in 1980 his
$71,772 real estate tax bill was reduced to $45,000, or a reduction
of 37 %. Presently Mr. Schroeder is paying 53% of the 1980 tax bill
of $45,000 to School District 46.
We can talk about affordable type homes, I think there are enough
affordable type homes, we have Poplar Creek and probably other
units totalling 200 or 300 that people can afford. I don't think
there is a big demand for mobile type homes in the City of Elgin.
They can say that the first fifty units are going to be strictly
dedicated to senior citizens or people who have no children. Are
you or anyone else going to control whether or not those people
have children. They have the right to whatever they want. Lets
suppose they have an average of two children per trailer, you
have yourself over 500 students going to school, now how are you
going to support those children and the schools are constantly
complaining about their shortage of money.
At the time the application was made to the City, a year ago or more,
there is a notation stating that the property owners are Robert and
James Schroeder and Checker Oil Company, tow, mobile home parks
are good business, you will always have the vacancies occupied, that
is low cost. Most of your communities will not accept mobile home
parks because of the burden upon the tax dollar is against the school
districts and the public services that are rendered. Many areas
have refused to even consider the fact because there is no real estate
dollars coming out of the thing, except on vacant property.
On behalf of Mr. Ceresa we are making our objections to any rezoning
of the property for a mobile park.
Tony Ceresa: My attorney took some pictures of the existing park
this spring and as you can see there is a bunch of debris, wrecked
cars. Also I would like to bring to the attention of the Council,
this property was sold by Zeman Realty for two million dollars and
the property which they are trying, to rezone tonight was included
in the package, this was brought out at the last meeting.
This is a tax burden on the community. Your property, your traffic
counts, by the estimates of the City staff you have a highway of
9600 vehicles and you have over 11,000 traffic counts now and by
their calculations you are going over 15,000 when this is fully
developed.
VOLUME XLVIII 264
I say this property has been sold, I don't believe the developer
intends to go through with it and develop it himself and by the
pictures that you see here of his present park it is a hell of a
shambles and a disgrace to the community.
Attorney Ketcham: With regard to the comment that Mr. Ceresa made
about this property being a package to sell, I defy him to produce
anything because it is a total falsehood. Here is a letter from
Zeman Real Estate stating this property is not for sale. Mr.
Schroeder will take an oath and testify to this, if necessary.
The pictures that are being circulated you will recall in my
comments I said that being vacant property people are want to run
in there and dump and that is not within the mobile park. A number
of those pictures are not even on Mr. Schroeder's property.
Ina Duewes: I am a resident in the Poplar Creek Subdivision and
am speaking for myself and several of the other people living in
the area. The traffic in that area is very congested, I am not
speaking about something that I have read about, I am speaking
about something that I have to deal with daily. We also find
in that area if you add 200 more areas of units there we have
no playgrounds in the area. In the Poplar Creek area we have
over 100 vacancies. It is a low cost Co -op Housing area and not
low income as most people wish to say. I feel there is no need
for this trailer park and there is no advantage to the City of
Elgin whatsoever.
Louie Bacak: I live at 875 Nancy Ann ,Lane in Schroeder's Mobile
Home Court. We are a community of people that have lived out
there for many, many years, probably more years than some people .
have lived in Elgin. We all own our homes, I have a home that
cost me $26,000 and it is considered one of the better homes on
the market today. My home is paid for so I am no transit or bum.
Ed Warren: I have petitions signed by 600 people from all parts
of the City of Elgin who object to this particular development.
I will grant that approximately 10% of those signatures are from
people in the Sherwood Oaks area which is outside the City, although:
we do consider the City of Elgin our City and that is where most of
us work and that is where most of us spend our dollars.
I note in the attorney for the petitioner's remarks he referred to
the Land Use Committee's 4 to 2 vote. However, he neglected to
indicate to you that the Elgin Plan Commission voted 7 to 0 against
this program, as a matter of fact against any residential deveopment
in that area. Obviously your Plan Commission has no thoughts or any
ideas that this type of thing should be going on in that particular
area.
We talk about the City of Elgin, we talk about it's image, we talk
about appeal to industry, appeal to people. You come in on Route
19 from the east and you look coming up that hill and you are going
to look at a 266 units sitting up on a hill that cannot and will not
'` be hid by any row of trees because it sits right on top of the hill.
265 VOLUME XLVIII
will back Ina's assessment of the traffic problem because ► travel
that route a minimum of four times a day and there is no question in
my mind that if you throw another 600 cars a day that you are going
to create a traffic hazard, it's bad enough now. You have that
entrance coming out of Poplar Creek and just above it you have the
entrance coming out on Ceresa Drive, you have a crest of a hill,
they are blind no matter which way you come and if there is one
car making a left turn that you cannot see coming over that hill,
you are going to have any one of the typical accidents that happens
at that particular junction and it can only be worse in the future
if something like this goes through.
Just think about the safety of the kids that live over there on the
north side of the street. They have to get across that street to
go to school, then you have even a worse problem with any type of
event over at the high school where you really have a traffic jam.
If we are talking about what is good for the City of Elgin, would'nt
it be a lot better to see a development such as Burnidge is putting
in on Big Timber Road. A nice M -1 planned unit development. On
60 acres you could put in a lot of nice factories, factory office
type buildings which would be permanent taxpayers. They would not
be a drain on the economy, they would be feeding this economy, they
would be providing jobs by their existence.
Richard Small, Chairman of Checker Oil Co.: 1 would like to clarify
one thing. Never at any time has our 38 acres been listed with a r
realtor for sale. I don't know who Zeman Realty is and I don't know
where they are located. We have 38 of the approximately 68 acres
involved and never once did we discuss sale of that with anyone.
Roger Dahlstrom: I would just like to clarify one technical point.
The Elgin Planning Committee does not commonly review petitions such
as this. Their review and their 7 to 0 vote was on a text amendment
which would have eliminated the 100 foot setback requirement that
manufacturing districts have to maintain when they abut a residential
district. The specifics of this proposal did not appear before the
Elgin Planning Committee.
Mayor Verbic; Will the City of Elgin receive the 162- acres, will
that be dedicated to our City.
Roger Dahlstrom: As the proposal stands presently that is correct,
it would be dedicated and we have discussed this matter with the
Engineering Division and we are told that they would support that
for reasons other than just open space. Apparently it is very much
adjacent to or might be required for the construction of the Poplar
Creek Dike project. Consequently our ownership of that 16 acres
would be to our advantage should there have to be some movement of
the Dike from the proposed location.
Mayor Verbic: When you look at the map I can see 16 acres which I
am sure is unbuildable property and I have been on record many times
in the last five years that the City of Elgin is taking the responsi-
bility of maintenance of all these areas which we are taking from the
developers, which are unbuildable. I think this is unfair to the
taxpayers because we have the responsibility of maintaining and taking
VOLUME XLVIII 266
care of this and in the meantime it is taken off the tax rolls.
We have the responsibility of maintenance and to me this does not
seem fair to the other citizens in our city.
have called for this on many occasions in the past because I think
it is unfair that we have this responsibility. 1 think that the
developer should be the one who is responsible for maintaining that
162 acres.
Roger Dahlstrom: Our department would concur with the burden factor,
particularly in this instance and in addition in this instance we
would have the control to force this property to remain in open space,
whether it be in public ownership or private ownership because this
is a planned unit development.
If you would like us to re- evaluate that part of the proposal and
come back with a suggestion on how we might get the open space
without the dedication, or in part the dedication, we will be
willing to take a look at that.
Attorney Ketcham: We intend to maintain that area, not the city.
Mayor Verbic, You are going to dedicate the 16 acres or are you
going to keep the 16 acres.
Attorney Ketcham: Whatever it takes and however you want it.
leave that to Mr. ,lentsch, whether a contract can be drawn or whether
in the P.U.D. conditions it can be set up. When I say what ever has
to be done it is with the premise that Mr. Schroeder will maintain
that and I represented that to this Council that would be one of the
advantages and it would not be a burden on the taxpayers.
Mayor Verbic: It will be taken off the tax rolls.
Attorney Ketcham: I imagine it will if it is dedicated.
Mayor Verbic: I have brought this up in the past and that is the
fact that I did not like the idea for the taxpayers to be paying
for something which has been dedicated to them, and it is unbuildable
or it can't be used for any other purpose. In the meantime the
developer takes it off his tax bills because he has given it to the
City.
Attorney Ketcham: If it can be kept on the tax rolls, we as the
developers have no objection and we will maintain it. What the
mechanics are and how it can be worked out is up to the Corporation
Counsel.
Robert Balsamo: I am Secretary of the Elgin Rifle Club and one of
the objectors to the proposed P.U.D. As a neighbor we find Mr.
Schroeder to be less than our most desireable neighbor. The piece
of property that you have been discussing is a complete in consequence.
I have attended the Poplar Creek Flood Abatement meetings for the last
five years. The piece of property has no value in the Flood Abatement
Program. The burm which is proposed to be built exists almost in
total upon property that is owned by Mr. Barney Cavitt. Therefore
a dedication of the property in the flood plain in the proposed P.U.D.
would be only getting rid of something that is of no value whatsoever.
267
VOLUME XLVIII
Councilwoman Shales: I would like to ask a question of one of the
Schroeders. I am confused about the ownership of the land and
also want to know directly, are you going to develop., do you plan
to develop and operate this mobile home park, or do you have plans
to sell it at some stage.
Bob Schroder: Jim and I own our existing mobile home park. The
proposed mobile home park is owned jointly by Jim Schroeder, Bob
Schroeder and Checker Oil Company. We expect to develop it, we
expect to live here in Elgin and maintain it and we have a
management contract for five years after it's completion.
Councilwoman Shales: Have you ever considered using the M -1 zoning
that you already have and developing a manufacturing park.
Bob Schroeder: We have given it some thought, one of the biggest
drawbacks in Cook County is the prohibitive tax rates for commercial
and industrial property.
Councilman Waters: I guess I resented some of the comments that
Attorney Smith made to us tonight, although I think I had pretty
much decided through my own reading and what I had assessed from
the material given us how my vote would go this evening. I would
just state for the record that I lived in a mobile home for a year,
had some very good neighbors and I even planted some flowers
around my mobile home.
I would move that we approve this Petition and that we isolate the
issue of this dedicated land and separate that from the Petition and
have our legal counsel and the Planning Department talk with Mr.
Schroeder about what possibilities there are for a better use of that.
Councilman Gilliam: I will second that.
Councilman Andersen: I would have several concerns, primarily the
traffic problem at the intersection of Ceresa Drive. Our own staff
indicates that the street now has greater amounts of traffic on it
than it was built for. In addition to the concerns over traffic,
I see in staff requirements here there wound be no parking on several
of the streets within the mobile home area there. This would be
for purposes of our fire trucks or emergency vehicles getting down
there I would presume. We can't even enforce parking on our downtown
streets where our police officers are on duty twenty -four hours a day.
would hope that the fire truck would never have to go out there
if cars were parked on both sides of the street which are narrow.
In addition to that I would question the validity of someone's crystal
ball figure on how many children are going to be generated and where.
To say that we are only going to get 43 children out of there, maybe
he knows something that I don't..
Councilman Hansen: I would ask our Corporation Counsel if in fact
this item of business can be acted upon in a partial way.
Counsel Jentsch: There is nothing to act on tonight, there is no
ordinance prepared. I presume that by the time the ordinance is
VOLUME XLVIII
addressed by you, you will have made a decision as to these 16 acres.
Councilwoman Shales: I am leaning toward the feeling that perhaps
the City of Elgin would better be served if this were developed as
M -1 property. I also feel that at this time we have a great
concentration of high density housing in one area now and perhaps
we don't need to add to that.

PUBLIC HEARING ON PETITION 24 -83 REQUESTING
AMMPYAT1nm P -7 QIAICIr rAMIIV RGCI nr Airr
Roger Dahlstrom: This petition has been filed by the Burnidge
Farms and the Apostolic Christian Church, requestingg annexation,
R -2 single family residence district zoning, and R -4 general
residence district zoning with a special use for a church and
a nursing home.
The Apostolic Christian Church desires to construct congregate
apartments, and intermediate care nursing home:, and _a church on
approximately 16 acres of land located on West Highland Avenue.
The Burnidges have no specific development proposal for the
approximately 40 acres of land located on both West Highland Avenue
and Randall Road.
The Planning Committee and the Land Use Committee all expressed some
concern about this petition, initially due to some conflicts with the
Comprehensive Plan. However, for various reasons which are explained
in detail in the material that you have and also in the transcripts,
they felt those adverse conditions could be properly mitigated.
At it's regular meeting of July 18, 1983, the Land Use Committee
recommended the approval of Petition 24 -83 by a vote of 4 yes and
0 no. At it's regular meeting of July 20, 1983, the Planning Committee
recommended approval by a vote of 5 yes and 0 no.
Councilman Schmidt: Is this to be built in one phase or will it be
in steps.
Mel Schrock: We pplan to complete it in one phase. The nursing care
facility will be 49 beds of intermediate care and the proposal is now
for 24 congregate living apartments behind the nursing care facility.
Councilman Schmidt: Will this be federally funded or individual
pledges.
Mel Schrock: No this will be privately financed.
269
VOLUME XLVIII
Councilwoman Shales: In reading over the transcripts no one had
any objection to the development itself and I think the only objection"
that I could find were the site being out of the city limits and not
contingent to services. Did you look at any other land within the
city.
Nate Steffen The church has voted to support this project without
federal funding amongst our own congregation, which will be about
two million dollars. It will provide work for local people building
it. It will provide work for people staffing it. In searching for
property we felt, and we had a land committee, and looked at many
pieces of property. We considered the area where our people lived,
by age, where the younger people lived, we considered various things
and looked diligently for property.
We looked at 6 or 7 pieces of property, including looking at adding
on to our present home on Bode Road.
Dr. Gasser: I personally believe that the home which is proposed
would greatly enhance nursing home medical care in this city.
Dr. Ben Huie, 151 Brookside: I would like to go on record as saying
do not oppose the development in principal. The care facility as
outlined is a very beneficial development for the City, if it were
in the City, but it is not. At this point in time I don't think
the City is ready to build past Randall Road. There is a large
amount of land east of Randall Road that is undeveloped, both in
the City of Elgin and not within the City of Elgin, i would suggest
to this Council that we very strongly consider the fate of that land
first, finish what we are going to do with that-land, finish our
developing, before we go west of Randall Road.
Councilman Waters: I would move that we close the public hearing
and direct the staff to draw up a petition for approval of this
project.
Councilman Hansen: I will second that motion.
Yeas: Councilmen Andersen, Hansen, Schmidt, Shales, Waters and Mayor
Verbic -. Nays: None.
PETITION 23 -83 REQUESTING A REZONING
Roger Dahlstrom: The subject property is approximately 32,000 square
feet and it is improved with a frame structure, a fence and a gravel
lot. The property is located within the Willow Creek floodplain. The
easterly portion of the subject property and all of the property
immediately to the east is located within the floodway.
At it's regular meeting of July 18, 1983, the Land Use Committee
recommended the approval of Petition 23 -83 by a vote of 5 yes and
0 no.

to approve Petition 23 -83. Yeast Councilmen Andersen, Hansen,
Schmidt, Shales, Waters and Mayor Verbic. Nays: None.
ORDINANCE PASSED AMENDING THE SPECIAL USE
Henry Rozycki: The petition that was submitted by Sherman Hospital
was substantially amended during the last Council Meeting by deleting
the parking. The amendment as was ruled on last week was an amendment
where no public notice was given on the action regarding the parking,
which is a substantial issue, it was not an issue that was evaluated
by the Land Use Committee, was not voted on by the Land Use Committee,
it also completely disregarded the expert testimony of the Hospital
consultants, many hours of effort that were put in by the City Staff,
as,well as the neighborhood organization meeting with the Hospital.
It is our opinion that the application was basically re- written and
at that point voted upon. Thus we were denied due process, it
amounts to special legislation and contract zoning, and legislation
which is in conflict with the zoning ordinances of Elgin and the
long range plan. We feel this action exceeds the authority granted
to the Council and it could be arguably illegal.
Councilman Schmidt: Counsel Jentsch is this correct, or is he in
error.
Counsel Jentsch I don't agree with the conclusions exDressed in
the letter. The Council initiated the changes, I don't believe
there was any bargaining, there was no contract element involved,
there was no more special legislation than any particular zoning
ordinance would be. 1 believe it was within the discretion of the
Council to consider all of the facts as adduced at the public hearing
and then make a determination as to the extent of the necessary parking.
I prepared the ordinance in accordance with the Council's direction
and not as the result of any contract with Sherman Hospital.
Councilman Waters: I would just make the comment for the record
have not seen sufficient evidence presented to me of why the amendment
to the petition was necessary. When the Neighborhood Assosication and
the Hospital both indicated that they were in support, I failed to
see the logic of the amendment to the motion, but because 1 support
the project I am going to be forced to vote in favor even though I
think the amendment should not be a part of that.
Councilman Hansen: I think what Corporation Counsel Jentsch is really
indicating in layman's terms is that the buck stops here and I think
that is essentially it. You can call it compromise or whatever you
want to, it is something that's possible a majority of the elected
officials are in favor of, so I am going to vote for it.
271
VOLUME XLVIII
Councilman Schmidt: As you know I was not present last month when
this was all discussed and I have read it all over very carefully
and I am in full agreement of this.
Mayor Verbic: I would like to call your attention to the third
page of the ordinance , Section 8 (j). It has been suggested that
four words be added and the paragraph read as follows: "No more
than thirty (30) physicians shall practice medicine in the medical
office building at any given time."
The reasoning for this is that many physicians today may have two
offices and a great many times they may only spend two days in one
office and three days in the other office and sometime they sublet
the office space to another physician. In that particular case
that physician is not present in his suite. What it does is it does
not change the number of doctors in the medical complex, but if you
went into the arcade and looked at the list you would see more than
30 doctors listed, and what it does is show that there is some sublet -
ing of space and it does not pertain to the fact that there are more
than 30 offices in the building, but you do sublet the office for
other doctors.
Councilwoman Shales: I would like to move that Section 8 (j) of
the proposed ordinance be amended to read as follows: "No more than
thirty (30) physicians shall practice medicine in the medical office
building at any given time." I am in favor of this change because
I believe it will serve to attract the super type of specialist that
we are interested in _getting into that office building.
Councilman Schmidt: Second.
Henry Rozycki: We had a concern about the number of doctors that
were going to be in the building, they contribute when we talk about
the amount of parking thats required and the amount of traffic that
would be generated. The number of doctors in the building would
have some bearing on that.
One of the arguments presented by Sherman Hospital is with the doctors
in the office building, all of the doctors will not be there at any
given time, therefore they will not need as many parking spaces and
there will not be as much traffic.
in this case if they are going to be subleting it then all of a sudden
the traffic estimates, patient estimates and parking estimates are
greatly increased. This was a concern of ours, earlier in our
conversations we asked the hospital about this a number of times
and in the meeting of the Land Use Committee, on May 16th, I
personally asked the question, in your application you state the
medical office building is for 30 physicians, is that 30 physicians
or 30 practices, and Mr. Spencer answered that it is for 30 physicians.
VOLUME XLVIII 272
Councilman Hansen: If I would have had my durothers I would have
much rather that the hospital, and I am going to criticize right now
even, though I am voting for this project, I would have much rather
seen them bring in their whole long range plan in one P.U.D. at this
meeting, then we would be done with it. Some future Council is
going to have to go through this again and I criticize the hospital
for not making a better effort to do that and I think that would have
solved a lot of the neighbor's complaints and I think the parking
problem would have been better addressed. As a consequence of this
think the hospital has made a commitment to build parking whenever
it is needed. I heard them say that at our last meeting and they
made a commitment to that and I think we have to, as a community,
hold them to that.
Councilman Waters: I think I may have heard something a little
different, because what I heard was they would come back before the
Council and request the space on Center Street that had been denied
with the amendment, if in fact the additional parking was needed.
did not hear any reference to an additional parking building.
Mayor Verbic: If there are no further questions we will vote on the
amendment.
Yeas: Councilmen Andersen, Hansen, Schmidt, Shales, Waters and Mayor
Verbic. Nays: None.
Councilman Hansen made a motion, seconded by Councilman Andersen,,
to pass the aforementioned ordinance, as amended. Yeas: Councilmen

BID AWARDED FOR ELGIN SOFTBALL COMPLEX
PHASE ONE DEVELOPMENT
Councilman Hansen: Could I get an approximate breakdown from
Phil on the source of the funds for this project.
Phil Bennett: The City has received a grant of approximately
$202,000 from the federal government under the land and water
conservation funds. The remainder would come from local sources.
Councilman Hansen: Do you have any idea of the approximate
commitment from the community to -date.
Phil Bennett: We received a $3500.00 donation from the Hoffer
Foundation, and to my knowledge that it is to -date.
Councilman Hansen: We are committed for the other funds locally
and that can be in the form of volunteer labor, etc., if I
remember correctly. The matching funds can be in kind services.
Phil Bennett: Yes, in kind services, materials, labor, etc.
Councilman Waters made a motion, seconded by Councilman Gilliam,
to award the bid to the low bidder, T & W Edmier Corporation,
for $375,592.

VOLUME XLVIII
Councilman Schmidt: In these ball diamonds, will the gravel €
processing be started beforehand, where does this fit into
paying for th5spark.
Leo Nelson: Hopefully, when we get around to bidding the mining
aspect of this total project, the royalties that we hope to
receive would go toward offsetting some of our costs. Of course
as you know this is Phase one of the project, which involves
the construction of the ten diamonds. That is minus the lighting,
minus the roadway, minus the parking lot and minus the concession
stand. We have the basic tenndiamonds with the fencing.
I think we are hopeful that we are going into Phase Two. The
application for additional grant monies is already filed, of
course we have no assurances that we will receive that money,
but to get to your basic question, hopefully when we get around
to letting the bids for the gravel mining that money will then
also be reinvested.
Councilman Schmidt: I think my basic question, is when do we
intend to let the bids for the gravel mining.
Leo Nelson: As soon as we receive approval from IHDA, which
is the State agency which holds the mortgage on the Burnham
Development, we can probably go ahead and put together our
final specifications for that bid. We are waiting for the
present owner, Burnham Development Company, to approve the
burming plan which the new Park and Reclamation Commission
has presented to it, and when we receive his approval, we
believe that IHDA will probably approve the burming plan.
In other words the way IHDA has always looked at it, if the
Burnham Development Company is satisfied with the burming and
landscaping plan around the apartment buildings, they are
satisfied. The Park and Reclamation Commission have been
meeting with Mr. Guidwitz, who is the owner of the Burnham
Development Company, to get his approval for the burming and
lands - taping so that we can get on with the bids.
We are prepared to go to bids I would think in a matter of weeks,
once we receive that approval.
Councilman Hansen, I would like one statement clarified. I am
assuming that the ball diamonds can be built without the gravel
being mined.
Leo Nelson: Absolutely, the area where the ball diamonds will
be built is not an area to be mined, and the access to it, including
the parking lot, is not to be mined,
Councilwoman Shales: This is for the entire ball diamond complex,
Leo Nelson: Ten diamonds.
VOLUME XLVIII 293
Councilwoman Shales: But this is not using any volunteer forces.
Leo Nelson: As Phil mentioned, we could, I don't think it was
anticipated we would use much voluntary help in Phase One. I
think as we moved into Phase Two there might be opportunities
and if you recall the Parks and Reclamation Commission has asked
Mr. Hurst to come up with a gift booklet whereby the sponsors
of teams and others might want to donate something to Phase Two.
We were not looking for a great deal of assistance in Phase One
simply because the project does not lend itself to it.
Councilman Schmidt: Does this include lighting.
Leo Nelson: No, it does not include lighting.
Councilman Schmidt: With the construction of the ball fields
that would not hinder the lighting from ,going in later.
Leo Nelson: No. The conduit would go around the perimeter and
you would not be cutting through a -new ball diamond.
Councilman Hansen: I guess I have to get a little clarification
on where the local funds coming from. Is that going to be In
your budget for 1984 Phil as an additional capital request, over
and above your normal request.
Phil Bennett: Yes.
Leo Nelson: That money will be- encumbere
earlier we had identified $1- 05,000, which
present 1983 budget :for:conversi;on of the
budget committee in preparing the figures
has already identified an amount of money
the federal money that we are getting for
will be encumbered this year, it will not
J this year and I think
is a line item in the
fleet, and I think the
for the end of the year•:
to be set aside to match_
Phase One So the money
be budgeted for next year,
Now Phase Two would be a different matter.
Mayor Verbic: if there are no further questions, will the Clerk
call the roll.

RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING EXECUTION

Leo Nelson; We were just advised that we have not received the final
agreement or any of the attachments.
Dan Blondin We met with these people late last week and we discussed
some concerns that the City still had. Late Friday afternoon we received
a copy of the most recent re -draft of the agreement, plus some, but not
all of the exhibits. -Gary Miller of Engineering and ,ferry Deering of
Planning have just received those today and have not had the opportunity
to review those exhibits, plus we donot have all of the exhibi "ts. In
addition there is still some minor language problems with the agreement
itself. At this time I think it would be premature to approve the
agreement.

Roger Dahlstrom: The nursing home was constructed on the subject
property during the late fifties. The property was annexed to the
City and zoned R -3 Two Family Residence District Special Use for a
Nursing Home in 1959. The residential section of the Zoning Ordinance
was amended in 1976 to permit nursing homes as a special use only within
the R -4 classification. This amendment rendered the Mary Margaret
Manor Nursing Home a lawful non - conforming use. The purpose of the
Zoning Ordinance text amendment was to afford the City greater control
for the location of nursing homes and to provide for nursing homes
within a zoning classification that would have reinforced consistency
and compatibility of land use. Basically the thought was that nursing, ,
homes, should they become defunct, would be more readily useable, or
adaptable as apartments then any other specific type of residential
use.
As it Is the nursing home cannot expand in its present configuration
as a non - conforming use and a petition has been filed in order to
eliminate the lawful non - conforming status of the property. The
property is approximately five acres and is improved with a masonry
structure.
At its regular meeting of August 15, 1983, the Land Use Committee
recommended the rezoning and special use approval subject to compliance
with the aforementioned conditions by a vote of 3 yes and l no. 1
would specifically call you attention to condition No. 1 wherein the
staff, with.the concurrence of the Land Use Committee, recommends a
change in the legal description regarding this petition, basically
to eliminate that section of the land in question that is adjacent
to Highland Avenue. This change in the boundaries is acceptable to
the petitioner.
Councilwoman Shales: We are talking only about the land that Mary
Margaret Manor is on, we are not talking about the piece that extends
to Highland,
Roger Dahlstrom: It is not just the site that the building is on,
there is also an area immediately to the west which is the subject
of this petition, but the petition as recommended by the staff and
the Land Use Committee excludes that northerly portion that does
extend up to Highland.
Councilwoman Shales: That would remain R -2 and the nursing home could
not be expanded onto that land.
VOLUME XLVIII
Roger Dahlstrom
Not without a rezoning.
306
Councilwoman Shales: The other thing I want to know, does Mary
Margaret Manor own the lot on the corner of McLean and Easy Street.
Roger Dahlstrom: I believe there is a piece of land they own, but
that is not in question here either. That would remain R -2.
Councilman Schmidt: Then we are just talking about the land that
goes west behind Mary Margaret, not to the north and not to the south.
If we go to the west with this rezoning how does that infringe on
property along Highland Avenue.
Roger Dahlstrom: This area is surrounded by R -2 at present.
Councilman Schmidt: What will be the accessability to this part
of the building.
Roger Dahlstrom: That's really a question I think we may have to
put to the Legal Department, concerning whether or not there can
be access for a use through another zoning classification. To the
best of my knowledge there is no limitation -- in other words a
driveway could be put through the property simply because it is -
allowable. There is no restriction for a driveway access that I
am aware of.
They do own the property - the northern piece of the property that
was part of the initial petition. The area that extends from the
parcel behind the building up to the north to Highland Avenue, they
do own that and that is not now a part of their rezoning petition,
but they do own that property. The nursing home representatives
have not represented to us any specific plan for an access drive.
Councilman Hansen: If this is granted I presume that if something
ever happened to the Mary Margaret Manor Nursing Home that then we
could have multiple family dwellings erected on the site and what
would the density of those be.
Roger Dahlstrom:, The underline zoning would be R -4 so apartments
could be built on the site if the nursing home were not there. The
maximum for density is 14 per acre under our zoning classification.
Councilman Hansen: So you could have 70 units on there. One of my
concerns is - --
Jerry Deering: The subject property is about 2'-z acres and under the
R -4 zoning classification only one building could be constructed
without a subdivision or planned unit development approval.
Councilman Hansen: The only problem that I have with the proposal
is that we don't see a planned expansion or a need for an exppansion,
and we do have the possibility that you could end up with R -4
multiple family housing there, with a substantial density.
307
VOLUME XLVIII
Jerry Deering: They did not have a specific expansion plan at this
time. The Planning Department and the Land Use Committee have
recommended some specific conditions that would regulate future
additions, but you are correct that if zoned R -4 and as long as it
remains zoned R -4 it can be developed.
Councilman Hansen: Why could'nt the City Council then permit an
expansion here with a special use and maintain some control that
perhaps the neighbors might want.
Roger Dahlstrom: The petition is for R -4 special use.
Councilman Hansen: I know he has to have that, but if something
happens to the nursing home then the special use is a mute point,
and you have more of a control over this property permitting there
under special use than you are granting them the zoning. I don't
have a problem with the Zoning Ordinance, and I don't have a problem
with Mary Margaret Manor expanding, but I do have a problem with
giving them more than they need. What is it right now, is it R -2.
Roger Dahlstrom: It is R -3, but the problem is that nursing homes
are no longer, even a special use in an R -3, they can only be
permitted as a special use in an R -4. That was changed in 1976.
Councilman Hansen: A lot of changes were made then and I am not
sure that I agree with all of them. I am just saying that we are
permitting, in my view, more than the present occupant of the land
needs for the successful operation of his business, and why should
we expose the neighbors, which is R -2 housing, to something that
they did'nt plan on when they built their property, just to conform
to a zoning law that might in my mind be suspicious right now.
Roger Dahlstrom: One option that is always available would be to
petition for text amendment to allow nursing homes, again as a special
use, in an R -3 and that could be done, but the difficulty is that
should the nursing home then become defunct, the structure itself
could then only be used for two family residence. So in order to
reuse the building for any constructive use, should the nursing home
become defunct, there would still be a petition involved for an R -4
use to use the structure for something else.
We did explain to the petitioner that one of their options was to
petition for a text amendment to allow nursing homes as a special
use in an R -3 classification.
Leo Nelson: I think that part of the discussion in 1976 was that if
you were faced with a petitioner who wanted to build a new nursing
home, they could put them in an R -3 district with a special use and
people in R -3 districts did'nt think that a nursing home belonged
in an R -3 district.
VOLUME XLVIII
ME
guess they never thought that if you made it a special use in
R -3 only, that people who lived in R -3 did'nt want a nursing home
because it was more of an R -4 type of use than it was an R -3.
Roger Dahlstrom- in terms of it's density of use.
Councilman Hansen: You can turn that right around and say if that's
true then certainly it's not an appropriate use in an R -2.
Roger Dahlstrom: That is why they are seeking R -4.
Councilman Hansen: I know you are seeking that, but you are also
changing the zoning classification of property that surrounds other
people's land and I have a problem with giving them more than they
need to upgrade their business.
Councilman Schmidt: This would then become R -4 and according to their
petition it says "while the Mary Margaret Manor has no expansion plans
at this time ", supposing they say we are not even going to do it then
they could go ahead and put other things or a building that would take
R -4, is that correct.
Roger Dahlstrom: Well they could'nt put another principal building on
the site, not without a resubdivision or a planned unit development,
that would have to come before this body.
Councilman Hansen: one of the things that the Comprehensive Plan
addresses is they recognize that McLean Boulevard is an 0 zoned
transitional area for an arterial road, and I guess everyone has
accepted that. If I owned property there I would object less to
an 0 zoning than I would an R -4, then if the property was no longer
suitable for a nursing home it could be turned into an office.
Councilwoman Shales: What is the advantage to having R -4 zoning at
this time.
Roger Dahlstrom: The advantage for Mary Margaret Manor is that they
would become conforming use as opposed to a non - conforming use.
Mayor Verbic: Why did Mr. Bowes initiate this.
Mr. Bowes: The simple fact is we are not allowed under our current
zoning to do anything such as paving gravel areas, any sort of
building application we are not allowed to do. Be it so small as
a tool shed or so large as an extra wing we are not allowed to do
it, unlike every other business in the City which is allowed to go
through the legal procedure of a building application we can't seem
to get to that point with the City. We are strangled at the point
that we are not allowed to go there we have to go to a zoning petition
and zoning procedure, which we are going through now trying to end
that particular position.

VOLUME XLVIII
Councilman Hansen: From my point of view I think we have a problem
with the Zoning Ordinance and not a problem with the rezoning or a
special use here. The problem here is we are applying a current
zoning law to a facility that was built 20 or 30 years ago.
Mr. Bowes: I should point out that if the City had kept up with it's
clerical duties in 1976, when the zoning was chang9ed from R -3 to R -4,
we would have automatically been changed town R -4 and I would not
now have to be in front of you." It's simply because a mistake was
cited when I orginally came for a building permit for an addition
to a dining room which we never were able to accomplish that this
whole situation cropped up. Up to that point I assumed that we were
like every other piece of property in the City of Elgin.
John Washburn, 1460 Easy Street: Part of the problem here I believe
that some of the neighbors have is this last public hearing about the
rezoning. A couple -of years ago a petition was started and at that
time the Land Use Committee suggested that there be just a public
informational meeting for the neighbors at which time a site plan
was shown to us and there were some problems with that site plan.
We have no problem with the nursing home that currently exists and
we feel that they should be able to conduct their business. We are
concerned about the expansion and what would happen on that property
that goes west of the current brick structure. I don't know why this
history and background about this rezoning was'nt given by the staff
in the handout that we got at the last public hearing. It's just as
if our comments and concerns were considered insignificant.
The site plan that the staff put together is nothing more than lined
diagram, signifying absolutely nothing. The areas they show as set-
backs and what they allow in the setbacks are some of the concerns
that we have, that is parking and driveways.
Also in the findings they had public convenience and that the property
had adequate space for safe and efficient off - street parking. Now
this is not being demonstrated by use of the R -2 lot at the corner
of McLean and Easy Street in parking by the staff.
The staff considers to be sufficient a hedge three feet in height
for screening, what is a three foot hedge going to screen.
Mayor Verbic: I think that one of the things which initiated this
zoning change is adding on to the dining room and in order to do this
you have to have the R -4. Some of the Council has expressed concerns
about using the site for apartments, but I think primarily this business
is for a nursing home and that's it.
Councilman Waters made a motion, seconded by Councilwoman Shales, to
approve Petition 26 -83, subject to the exclusion of the adjacent
property to Highland Avenue.
VOLUME XLVIiI
310
Councilwoman Shales: I would be for this petition because apparently
this nursing home should have had the R -4 zoning 1976, if I am right
about the other property. I would like to see the other problems
addressed, I am not sure how we would do that tonight, but apparently
parking is a problem and I would like that problem addressed.
Mayor Verbic: I am in favor of this petition, I feel that if he wants
to add on to the dining room this is the only way relief can be granted,

RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING EXECUTION
OF AN AGREEMENT WITH MOTOROLA
DENIED
Councilwoman Shales: I would like to move that we accept the
proposed Motorola contract.
Councilman Waters: I will second that.
Councilman Andersen: I fail to see where we have explored all the
possibilities for a communications center from other suppliers. I
would believe that there are others in the field and that Motorola
doesn't have the only ball game in town. I would like to see this
put out for either bid or some offers from some other companies.
Councilman Schmidt: Were there any
to get them from other companies.

I mean, the first that I really
at the Committee of the Whole
3rd from one company and I am
from some other companies that
Leo Nelson: Well Mayor and Council members several meetings ago
we approached you with two basic ideas. One was to go back to our
consultant or somebody else who was prepared to draft the specifications
in preparation for a bid to secure competitive bids, or to continue
our discussions and to try to reach an agreement with Motorola. I
don't have those minutes in front of me but at that time I think
the majority of you, if not all of you, directed us to continue our
negotiations with Motorola to see if we could reach an agreement,
mainly because Motorola was the only supplier in industry that could
give us a total system as opposed to bidding out the project and
having another bidder, perhaps bring bids in with types of equipment
from different suppliers and try to fit it. The other reason was we
VOLUME XLVIII 338
could certainly assure ourselves of delivery of this equipment if
Z'., we reached an agreement with Motorola quicker, and there was some
urgency, certainly by the Police Department and the Firemen, those
especially on the street, who believe that the system that we have
is certainly not working to their satisfaction and it isn't, but we can.
But I felt that we had settled that issue at least a month ago. You
are not obligated to accept this contract but I thought we had settled
the issue of do we competitively bid it or do we try to reach an
agreement with Motorola and it was at least, I believe most of us
thought at that time, Mike or anybody that was involved in that process
correct me, I thought we were directed to try to negotiate a final
contract with Motorola.
Councilman Schmidt: I appreciate your comments Mr. Nelson, but since
that month has elapsed I have heard other things, for instance Kane
County, they have a communications center that they are very happy
with, and there are other towns that have other communications centers
that don't have Motorola and I feel that it is our responsibility to
at least try to get competitive bids for something like that.
Leo Nelson: We will do anything you want us to do. I am just simply
suggesting we thought we had settled that matter before, and in terms
of Kane County, I know the Mayor raised that issue with us during
this past week and Mike Sarro had a conversation with the gentleman who
heads up their communications system. In that instance, and I am sure
Mike can respond to that, they only bid out their console, not their
equipment, not their field equipment. I believe that is Motorola
and Mike can talk about that, but we will do whatever you want us to
do. As I say, you are not under any obligation, but certainly we
thought we were headed in the right direction. If you want to change
your mind or your position on that, you certainly can do that and it
is not too late to do that, but you will delay by some months now
buying any equipment if we do to competitive bids because first of
all we are going to have to get somebody who can come in and draft
the specifications, then we will have to take the bids and award the
bids and we may be faced with a several month delay.
Councilman Schmidt: Mr. Mayor, as long as we are having this several
month delay; we are having a several month delay in getting a location
to put this communications center, so I don't think that is a good
reason.
Leo Nelson: Mr. Schmidt, we are prepared and the Fire Department
is prepared to vocate this space that they have where we believe
this communications center will go. We would expect to hear back
from Polson Architects in a matter of 90 days as to where the center
can go and we won't even have the equipment by that time.
Councilman Schmidt: I would say by 90 days we should be able to have
some other bids.
Leo Nelson: That could be if that is what you want us to do. It is
certainly not too late.
Mayor Verbic: Mike, would you be kind enough to explain the total
system price which you sent us off the memorandum on Friday.
339 VOLUME XLVIII
Mike Sarro: Basically, it is just a follow up to our discussions
and the options that were presented just two weeks ago by Motorola
at the presentation downstairs. At that time, if you recall that
memo, we had outlined a basic system and a couple of options. Bernie
Schaeffer from Motorola explained those in some detail. Basically,
nothing has changed with that. At that time we had given an estimated
cost of $761,000. We continued negotiations based on your direction
two weeks ago. We modified option 2, we achieved the purchase of
two additional radios, two additional portables for the Police
Department from the 90 to 92, which is a better number for them. We
spent most of our time with respect to the payment terms which we
expect to achieve with the payment terms in the contract, probably
about $50,000 worth of interest income from the bond issue. Also
some contract language with respect to warranties and things of that
nature. Other than that, that is all I can say is we brought in the
proposal last week at $761,000. 1 was certainly under the impression
we were supposed to continue negotiations with Motorola and come to
a quick agreement. I thought time was of the essence, certainly I
did not hear any discussion that I was supposed to secure an alternate
proposal. I missed that if that was there.
Councilman Schmidt: Well, why did you just bring one company to us
in Motorola and not have another company.
Mike Sarro: Again, two months ago we presented a proposal to you.
We thought the direction was to pursue that.
Councilman Schmidt Did you tell us that there are other companies.
Mike Sarro; I think we told you that last meeting. We certainly
could bid the system but the other system would probably be a
piecemeal system, not a complete system from one manufacturer and I
thought that was of some interest or some importance to the Council.
It certainly was to the staff. I guess I am a little bewildered here.
Mayor Verbic: I think you are correct Mike. When Mr. Schaeffer was
here there was no question that the Council members, all of them,
agreed to go ahead with continued negotiations. There is no doubt.
Mike Sarro; I did have a conversation with Sergeant Schrieber from
Kane County - Sheriff's Office a week ago last Friday with respect
to their system.. Their system is not like ours at all. We are
proposing an 800 megaherts system. Theirs is a more conventional
system similar to the one that we have today. Also, the bid at that
time was strictly for the in -house equipment, no field equipment and
a few antennas. So the system really wasn't the same. They did, in
fact bid it. They did, in fact, wind up with a piecemeal system and
did encounter some installation problems. It is working now though,
however, and that is not to say that if we did the same thing, every-
thing could go well. You could encounter again those same problems.
Again, we thought that was of some importance. That's the reason that
we didn't secure any alternate proposals. I never got the direction
that I was supposed to.
VOLUME XLVIII

Mayor Verbic: Mike, let me ask you a question. If alternate
proposals were put out, how many different companies would have
to be asked to bid on a project of this type.
Mike Sarro: As far as I know, the only other persons or company
that has been active in that is GE and they would bring back a
piecemeal system. In Kane County they had a firm from California,
Com Center Corporation of Van Nuys, California that actually ended
up with the bid for the console, so that would be another company
that we obviously could investigate. I am not familiar with them
at all. The only other one that I would know would be GE, but again
both of those - --
Mayor Verbic: You are not aware of any large company that - --
Mike Sarro: I don't know even if this Com Center Corporation can
furnish an 800 megahurt. I am just not familiar with them, but
there is no question they would bring in a piecemeal system also.
If is not to say that it won't work, but I am not so sure that it
will work as quickly as nine months from now, which is what we are
saying we will have the Motorola system in place.
Councilwoman Shales: I just want to say that I two weeks ago was
in favor of going ahead with Motorola. I am still in favor tonight
because they are a reputable company, they have a good reputation
in their field and they do furnish the whole system and not just
parts of a system. I think that is very important.
Councilman Waters: I concur with the understanding that we have
reached and 1 am a little dismayed that it would take this course
of conversation this evening. I think we are putting Motorola at
an unfair advantage should the majority of the Council at this
point, disadvantage, excuse me, should the Council decide to go
out on a bid basis, because they have negotiated in good faith and
have given us the best price and now if we go out and ask for
competitive bids, we are asking for the competitors to bid against
a known price.
Mike Sarro: If we were to

Mike Sarro: We have spent a lot of time on this, but you know,
whatever your pleasure is.
Chief Van De Voorde; I have a little background in radios. I can
remember when the City bought off brands. We got some good buys
and we had nothing but problems with the radios. The direction
that we have gotten from the Council for the past ten or twelve
years in boying radios and replacement is to negotiate with Motorola,
and so that has kind of been the stance we have had in all purchases.
When we looked into the new communications center, obviously we wanted

produces and sells not necessarily the finest radios, individually,
but I am also looking at a system. We are not just buying radios,
we are buying a whole new system. The system is going to be so
effective that formerly areas that we could not get with five watt
radios we will be able to get now with two watt radios. This system
will be guaranteed by Motorola, the one supplier. There is no
question that you can go out to bids and have a package assembled.
You may have one type of console and one type of radio and one type
of tower radios and you can assemble all of these things, but then
you have to be very careful and write very exacting specs. That can
be done. It does take time and then another problem is you have to
determine if the system isn't working, who is going to make it work.
I make no apologies for recommending Motorola. I believe they are
the finest equipment in systems manfuactured and I would, I am very
comfortable with my recommendation for Motorola. I would be happy
to answer any questions on that but Erv, we feel they are the leaders
in the field and some of the units, the individual units, we would
be getting to the best of my knowledge we can't get all of those
components from say, GE.
There are a number of radio manufacturers out there that I am
unaware of, but if we are going to open up the shop and do it,
certainly we can do that. We are going to have a good set of specs
and you are going to have to know a lot more than I do. Admittedly,
I rely on Motorola as a systems and radio manufacturer that I have
confidence and trust in and they have worked very hard and long
with us in trying to develop this system and have not received one
cent and we really don't owe them anything, but on the other hand,
I can't help but be impressed with the help they have given us and
this has been for several years. This is not just the past few
years.
Councilman Andersen: George, did or did not Motorola sell us an
obsolete system the last time it was replaced.
Chief Van De Voorde: I think any time you buy a. radio system you
are buying an obsolete system. As a matter of fact, just in this
last negotiation, there has been a change in the console concept,
and I am a poor one to explain it, but yes it is kind of like making
airplanes, you know, when we built war planes the ones they were
building were obsolete. I think we had a very good system. Motorola
Made one bad radio, an MX at one time, but they have corrected that.
Operationally they had some problem with that, but that is true of
all radios.
would like to say one other thing, something that we didn't bring
to the Council because I thought the decision was made from what I
heard when I was gone and before. I do have a letter signed by the
steering committee of our union, and a petition signed with the
majority of the members in my office recommending that we do get
the new communications center and that we buy Motorola. For what
it is worth, I think the troops are behind that concept too, but
I would be dishonest if I said you can't go out to bids and assembled,i
a package. You can, but if that package isn't working right, who
makes it work right.
VOLUME XLVIII 342
Councilman Andersen: 1 don't want to belabor my earlier point in
that Motorola did sell us an obsolete system, but at the same time
they also sold all of the on hand parts to that system at that time
to another outfit, so our present system was not able to be serviced
by Motorola, is that true. It was serviced by Radco.
Chief Van De Voorde: Radco, is, we have a contract with them. It
has nothing to do with obsolence that I am aware of.
Councilman Andersen: I am aware of that. Motorola sold all of their
parts to Radco and disassociated themselves with the service of the
present system. Is that true.
Chief Van De Voorde: I cannot answer that question. I have no
knowledge of anything. Somebody else can answer that, I can't.
Leo Nelson: Radco has been maintaining our system for years and
based upon some years ago on a competitive bid Radco may very well
buy their parts from Motorola. I don't know that their arrangements
are, but that wouldn't be unusual. I am sure Radco buys GE parts from
GE, because they are a service company that maintains all types of
equipment, not just-for Motorola. They would for other manufacturers.
i am not aware of any problem that the City ever had with Motorola.
As long as I have been here it has been Radco that has been maintaining
the system.
Jim Bolerjack: We had Motorola in the 1950's, but they have not
maintained our equipment since then.
Councilman Andersen: This is just some of the feedback 1 have had
and I didn't want the City to be caught short again with another
system that could tend to be obsolete and have the service farmed
out to somebody else again, and so I thought the more feet you have
in the door, the more competitive and the sharper the pencils become.
Leo Nelson: Well, that could be and we certainly believe in
competitive bidding when that is the best way to go, but I believe
in terms of the system that we have talked about and negotiated with
Motorola, if we were to put it out for bids I believe Motorola is
the only company that can supply the system, the total system,
including the 800 megahurt radios. If we were going something
different, if we were staying with VHF, perhaps GE could supply that,
but I understand GE and no other manufacturer can supply the 800
megahurts mobile and portable equipment. Now correct me if I am
wrong. Or the total system more accurately.
wasn't aware of the Chief's petition from the Firefighters. I
know there is a similar petition from the Policemen and the
Communication Operators that have urged us to replace the system. I
don't know that they have gone so far as to suggest that it be
Motorola, but I know they are interested not necessarily in the low
bid. They are out there every day, they want a reliable radio total
system that they can depend upon and i think you brought that point
out two weeks ago.
343 VOLUME XLVIII
Councilman Andersen: I would certainly agree with that.
Leo Nelson: And I think that is the problem. Remember when we
talked about this we were talking about Motorola as the only company
that can deliver the whole system and they will warranty, and that
is important, the system, because if we go with somebody else, GE
or Van Nuys, California, they will warranty each piece of equipment,
but they will not necessarily warranty that the total system will
work, and then you have to sit there and piece it together. 1
don't want to sound like we are trying to push it.
Chief Van De Voorde: To the best of my knowledge it is true, but
there are a lot of companies out there, out west. I would like to
say though, Pete, as far as obsolesence, bust the time that we have
been dealing with Motorola now, about four or five of the components
that we originally looked at are obsolete and have been upgraded and
replaced. That doesn' mean that the units we have bought weren't
serviceable, but 1 think they are always improving their product.
The other thing, as far as the maintenenace contract, I think we
just go to the best competitive people to maintain our radios,
quality -wise and price -wise, and I think that is why Radco, to the best
of my knowledge, does the work today.
Councilman Hansen: I have just a brief comment and then l have a
question. My comment is that from my perspective we are elected here
to very carefully and to the best of our ability spend our constituer" '
money and when I spend three - quarters of a million dollars I want to
be very careful and I think in the past we are.
This is a rather unusual thing and I got to the meeting two weeks ago
late, after this had been discussed, but 1 can't remember any other
expenditure this size that has been done on a negotiated bid, and I
am not saying it is wrong to do it, but it is unusual. When we build
a new water treatment plant we do it on competitive bids. If we
repair the Airlite water treatment plant, it is done on competitive
bids and this is about the same abount of money, so I don't think
anyone can fault us for being very careful when we spend our
constituents',money.
The other question that I have that has bothered me during this whole
discussion is that when I first got elected to this body, we had just
spent $27,000 for a consulting study for a communications system for
our Police and Fire Departments and I don't know, for that kind of
money I would have liked to have gotten some specific recommendations
about what this program should include and I just haven't heard
anything about that. I looked for my copy of that over the weekend
and I couldn't find it so I am at a disadvantage. What was the result
of that study. Didn't they tell us anything. We all knew we needed
the equipment. For $27,000 1 would think that we would get a little
more information. We could have asked six patrolmen and five fire-
fighters and they could have told us that we needed the equipment
prior to the study and if that is all we got for $27,000 1 am a
little disappointed. I would hope that there would be more specific
information in there. For that kind of money, they would have written
the specs right on the spot for us.
VOLUME XLVIII
Leo Nelson: First of all, I don't think
About half that, do you recall, $16,000
was to write the specifications, and if
contract we probably would suggest that
go back to to write the specs.
344
the full $27,000 was spent.
and part of that contract
you reject the Motorola
would be one firm we would
Very candidly, if you know the industry at all, they tend to go to
the suppliers to develop their own specifications, very frankly,
and that is saying it just the way it is. I am not going to kid
you about that, but for sure, there is nobody in our departments,
at least unless we have gained somebody in the last year or so that
I am not aware of, nobody has volunteered their services to come forwarc
and try to write the specifications for the system that we need. So
it was clear in our minds then and it is now I think that nobody in
either the Police or Fire Department is prepared to write the
specifications to take competitive bids, and I know Mike is not
ready to do that.
If you do reject this, we will have to come back to you with somebody
who can write those specs, be it Sachs /Freeman, and that was the
firm Elmer, to finish that work that they started or somebody else.
I don't know if there is anybody else out there or not. I assume
there is, but somebody is going to have to do that to get competitive
bids.
Chief Baird: Mr. Mayor and members of the Council, Chief Van De
Voorde did a thorough job of outling the reasons why he believes
he should go with Motorola, and I would echo his comments. With
respect to you, Councilman Andersen, I heard in the hallway some
two weeks ago from one of our people, one of the police types, that
when Motorola sold us this system back in about 1968 that it was
outmoded. I have been with the department llZ years and that was
the first time that I had ever heard a comment of that nature and
I am familiar with the type of system that is presently operating
in Elgin. A similar system was in operation when I left Wisconsin
and they were purchased at about the same time and at the time
they were purchased they were considered to be state of the art radio
communications. So, in my opinion, there wouldn't really be any
foundation or substance to that remark that apparently both you and
I heard.
As far as Radco's servicing, Radco has done an excellent job of
servicing this equipment. The equipment we have, and I am not going
to be redundant, is 16 years old and it has long outlived its
usefulness. The projected lifespan of readio equipment is eight
to ten years. You can go beyond that and we have. Our system is
so deteriorated that the Elgin Police Dpeartment is now broadcasting
on citizens band radio because we are being jammed and cut out by
other frequencies, and the FCC has been unsuccessful in eliminating
this. We have written our Congressmen for the last six years in
attempting to do it, to eliminate the problem which there really
isn °t any control over, because there is a shortage of frequencies
and that is what compels us to go to the 800 megahurts and the
value of 800 megahurts is that it is a pure frequency. No more
frequencies can be allocated, therefore, we will have no problem
from neighboring jurisdictions.
345 VOLUME XLVIII
We had an officer that was injured in July and it can be partially
attributed to the fact that he was unsuccessful in getting through '
on radio communications. This happens on a daily basis and I think
that I agree with Councilman Hansen that we are spending $750,000
and if I were in your chair I would want to make a very proper and
prudent and rational decision and I can assure you that I can with
a clear conscience recommend to you, from my experience, that l
highly recommend that we go sole bidder in this instance for the
reasons that have been previously outlined to you, and if I were
a Councilperson I would in clear conscience be able to vote we
go for Motorola. Thank you.
Mayor Verbic Is there anyone that has any questions to direct to
any of those who spoke, or are there any further questions for
clarification.
Councilman Waters: Mr. Mayor, I am prepared to vote.
Councilman Hansen: Mr. Mayor, I do have a question. What is the
time frame for bidding. I never heard that nailed down.
Leo Nelson: If we were to go to bid on this. Well, the first
problem would be to develop specifications and I don't know how
long that would take.
Councilman Hansen: Aren't they by and large laid out in this guy's
study.
Leo Nelson: He had started some specs for bidding, so we are talking
two to three months.
Councilman Hansen: So we are saying, if I heard all of the statements
here from all the people, someone said that it would take g0 days
for the architect to tell us where the equipment was going to go
anyway. I think that was a question that Mr. Schmidt had and now
you say we can get the bids in 90 days.
Leo Nelson: It doesn't mean you are going to get the equipment.
Councilman Hansen: What is the lead time on this Motorola equipment.
Leo Nelson: Under this contract.
Mike Sarro: 150 days.
Councilman Hansen: So we are talking about a long time anyway.
Leo Nelson: But that is if you were to order it. If we were to bid
this system out that we are looking at, this 800 megahurts total system,
can abybody else that we know of bid it. In other words are we going
out for bids with only one bidder that can come in and meet the
specifications,
Mike Sarro: It is a possibility. In Joliet the only one that did
bid was GE and they were, ► believe, If I am not mistaken, about
$150,000 higher than Motorola.
VOLUME XLVIII
Leo Nelson: Was it an 800 megahurts system.
Mike Sarro: Yes..
346
Leo Nelson: All I am suggesting is, and we can do this, there is
no problem with going out for bids. I just want to suggest to you
that I don't want you to believe that we are necessarily going to
get a competitive bid when we open them in three months, that is
all. Because they may be the only competitive bidder. I mean to
really, truly meet the specifications.
Councilman Hansen: I have a basic question. Does every community of
our approximate size that has a combined communications system that
is used by both the Police and Fire Department, only use Motorola.
I find that hard to believe. You know, American isn't that way.
There is a little more competition out there than that.
Dennis Ahrens: I should leave this up to the chiefs, but part of
your question, Councilman Hansen. I was reading an article on the
Phoenix Fire Department, just the Fire Department got a new system,
computer aided dispatch, radio system, etc. It took them over two
years to write specs and let it out for bids.. 1, myself, know
feel is quite a bit about a computer aided dispatch system and I
could not write the specs for a system, I couldn't do it. There
are too many loopholes. If we put it out for bids and got one, two,
three other bids in regards to just the CAD system, I would not
be able to read the bids to tell you if the system would work right,
whereas I know Motorola and have seen the Motorola systems out in
the field and they do work. So, if we even got the specs written,
I couldn't tell you if the specs were going to be written right
or not, that is the problem.
Mayor Verbi,c: Well, from what I have read as far as the Council
and the discussions we have had here tonight, we are spending
$750,000 for this total system and naturally when you are spending
this kind of money people are always thinking in terms of the
possibility of savings with competitive bidding. Administrative
staff speaks very highly of Motorola and its capabilities and there
is one thing, which I look at too and that is the fact that I just
can't imagine with 700 cities over 50,000 in population in our
country that this would not be a viable field for anyone to get into.
When I read over the data which was presented to us initially I
realized it is very difficult for someone not trained in electronics
to even understand. I am thinking in terms of the fact, and maybe
I am wrong, but I would like to get the best buck for the taxpayer.
know it is going to be detaining us a little but it may be worthwhile
to at least explore that possibility and satisfy the doubt which
may exist as far as cost.
Councilman Waters: If we are going to get the best buck for the
dollar, we should have directed the staff two months ago to do that
and not let them get this far down the line in negotiations with
Motorola and now pull the rug out from under them and tell them we
want to go to bids.

AUTHORIZATION OF PAYMENT TO VARIOUS VENDORS
Councilman Hansen made a motion, seconded by Councilwoman Shales,
to approve the following payments
1. Richter Awning Co. $5,226.00 Purchase and installation of
awnings for ECC Fountain Square
Campus.
2. Curran Contracting Co. $3,685.55 Seal coating gravel road River-
side Water Treatment Plant.
3. Jimmy Diesel, Inc, $3,929.00 Engine repairs to Bus 8404.
4. American Public Transit
Association. $1,933.00 Membership dues for 1983
5. NHS and Wilhelm Kuestner NHS' Revolving Loan Fund Program.
302 & 304 -310 Fulton $5,000.00
6. NHS and Patricia Ryan
111 N. Porter $2,305.00 NHS Revolving Loan Fund Program.
Councilman Andersen: I would recommend that the payment to the Richter
Awning Company be gabled indefinitely. A cover letter from the Architect
admits this item was installed at less than specifications and I would
suggest that payment be withheld until we obtain specific performance
from the vendor.
Charles Cassell: The only additional information I have that was not
sent in the letter to Mr. Nelson, we did do a construction analysis
of the structural load carrying capacity of the awnings built with
the 3/4" pipe and determined that according to our analysis with a
push depth of snow the awnings would be able to support such a load.
Leo Nelson: Could you be specific about the specification sheet that
your firm prepared. Did it specify inside or outside diameter pipe,
or did it just say l" pipe.
Charles Cassell: It just said 1" pipe.
VOLUME XLVIII 352
Councilman Schmidt: How is pipe usually measured.
X
Charles Cassell: For plumbing purposes it is measured on an inside
diameter. For awning purposes I really can't answer that question.
I don't have any standardized literature which would indicate this
one way or the other.
Councilman Andersen: I personally have no quarrel with 3/4" pipe,
if it does in fact do the job, if this man was proud of his work
at the beginning why did he have to be asked for a one year guarantee.
He did not include that and perhaps it wasn't asked for but he could
have put it up with bamboo poles as far as I am concerned and it
should have lasted a year. I don't think a year guarantee is
sufficient for allowing him to deviate from the specifications.
Mayor Verbic: I think we have an obligation here and perhaps the
legal counsel would address this situation with regard to our
payment to this contractor.
Counsel Jentsch: I don't have the contract in front of me, but
the architect is usually the owner's representative for determining
whether a contractor has substantially complied. If I understand
his letter correctly technically you could deduct $158.16 from
the contractor's consideration of the pipe and he could demand
something like $975.00 for materials supplied but not specifically
specified.
Councilman Waters: This was a part of the Phase I project and he
encumbered the material for this project and then we delayed it
and put it into Phase II because the decision was made to change
the windows on the second floor and the - thought was we shouldn't
put "those awnings up until that Phase Il project was completed.
So this man has been waiting over a year for payment for something
in good faith he thought was to be completed last fall.
Charles Cassell: He was paid for the materials last winter. The
labor for the installation was deferred for the reasons that you
mentioned as well as the streetscape work.
Leo Nelson: Originally it was part of Phase I. We did not take
specific bids on an awning, it was bid to the general contractor
and we didn't really know what the bid was until it was deleted
from Phase I and moved to what we thought was going to be Phase

contracted with him to complete the work because we thought there
was no sense in putting it in Phase II and have to incur the
overhead and profit that the Phase II contractor would add to that.
Councilman Hansen: i would like to amend my motion to approve
payment of items 2,3,4,5 & 6 and to table item l until we can
find out specifically whether this vendor met the performance

What do I propose to do about it, I don't propose to do anything.
I raised this question because we could be opening up a can of
worms for everybody who wanted to build something for the City of
Elgin at less than specifications. If you let this person get
away with it, the next one thinks he is going to get away with it.
Now either he got away with building something to less than,
specifications or the architect was derelict in his duty in not
writing specifications clear enough -so they could be understood.
What do I propose to do about it, I did what I propose to do and
thats table the man's payment until somebody settles it. We
asked for 1" pipe, we should be paying for 1" pipe and not 3/4's.
Councilman Waters:; I think we retained an architect to provide
supervision for this project and in other phases of the project
we have considered his judgment in making changes as the construction
proceeded and I have confidence in his assessment that the City got
it's moneys worth in this one.
Mayor Verbic: If there is no further discussion I would call for
a vote on the amendment. Yeas: Councilmen Andersen, Hansen, Schmidt

Councilman Andersen: This I take it is by Home Federal. 1 have
had several policemen ask me what we were thinking of in approving
parking over there. Many of our bus drivers can't get through
that area,when there is a compact car parked along the curbing
there is exactly 85" to the centerline of the street. A city
bus, a UPS truck, any vehicle of any size can't get through there.
It limits the traffic in that area,- if you were to allow parking
there. If they want to restore the curb line back to where it
was, or should be, I would give them parking, but not under the
present circumstances.
Mayor Verbic: Do they have the same problem on Chicago Street.
Councilman Andersen: No, because Chicago Street only in a couple
of spots has been narrowed down with that four foot extension of
the curb line, but where the curbs are still substantially in
their former place, there is no problem.
Councilman Hansen: Do they allow parking on Chicago Street on
those curb protrusions.
Councilman Andersen, No, they don't.
Mayor Verbic: Actually the centerline can be moved over to
facilitate this parking on the south side. I think this is a
convenience and very important to the business downtown and if
the centerline was moved over it would help the buses and trucks.
think this is just one of the things_ to help ease the burden
of a business and we should try to help them out anyway we can.
Councilman Andersen: I have no quarrel with that at all except
the problem has been addressed to me by members of the Police
Department and also bus drivers.
Councilman Hansen: It seems that we have come around full circle
now to where street traffic and parking is highly advantageous to
a business to survive. Is this going to be restricted during the
rush hour.
Leo Nelson: Not unless you amend this ordinance„ it will be 15
minute parking.
Councilman Hansen: I have a problem with this in a rush hour
situation where we will have two very narrow lanes or one comfortable
lane. I just wish that we had never narrowed the street down there.;'

COUNCIL- MANAGER FORM OF GOVERNMENT
SPECIAL MEETING
A special meeting of the Council of the City of Elgin, Illinois, was held
on September 19, 1983, at 7:05 p.m., in the Council Chambers of City Hall.
The meeting was called to order by Mayor Verbic.
ROLL CALL
Roll call was answered by Councilmen Gilliam, Shales, Waters and Mayor
Verbic. Absent Councilmen Andersen, Hansen and Schmidt.
Also present: City Manager Leo Nelson, Corporation Counsel Erwin Jentsch,
Acting City Clerk Nancy Roll and members of staff.
CONSIDERATION OF NEW COMMUNICATIONS CENTER
FOR THE POLICE AND FIRE DEPARTMENTS
Councilman Gilliam: I would like to make a statement that I did request
this meeting regarding the communications center. I would like to apologize
first to the people here in the audience who took the time to come down for
such an important matter and to have three councilmen who voted against
the communications canter not show up: is a. disgrace and I am embar-
rassed by it. I have always felt that as councilmen we would always stand
up and be counted and take a stand whether it was right or wrong or who
was for or against and apparently the three gentlemen felt it was not
important enough nor were the people here concerned enough for them to come
and at least stand ,up and tell the individuals here why they voted against
the communications center. That irritates me, I'm embarrassed, I'm upset
by it and I'm ashamed of it that three gentlemen who are elected by the
public would not take the time or have the respect for the citizens of Elgin
not to come to the meeting. I can't think of anything more of a disgrace
to this council in the ten years that I have served and I hope that that
will never happen again.
Realizing that we can't make a motion because three gentlemen thought that
it was not important to be here, the reason I called the meeting is I feel
that by postponing the communications center you will add a 90 -day delay to
the center, in addition to the 90 days,it takes 234 days for the implementa-
tion by Motorola, so we are looking at a year. This is the second time this
has been postponed. Last year three gentlemen voted against this communica-
tions center, they were Councilman Hansen, Councilman Schmidt and Mayor
Verbic; They delayed it last year with a three /three tie. I believe it was
on the 15th of March, 1982. It was delayed last year for one more year and
looks like again the same three people with the addition of Mr. Andersen will
delay this again. I wish that there was someone here who could defend and
say why these gentlemen want to delay it. My other concern is the current
system is not able to function, it is not able to perform satisfactorily and
I hope some of the gentlemen in the audience would be able to address that
and tell you, Mr. Mayor, since you did have the respect to come here, and
explain why they feel that the system should be implemented as soon as possible.
365 VOLUME nvlii
A third concern is there has been a recommendation by the staff, fire, police,
after long negotiations and discussion, they support the Motorola Communica-
tions Center because they feel it is the best and I think that is evident by
the number of people in the audience. Another concern, if you put it out to
bid and we bid it in sections, I think if you read the article that was in the
Courier News in reference to the Sheriff's Office, I believe Sheriff Kramer
made the comment that no one would guarantee the entire system as a whole,
they would only guarantee their part. I think also that Sheriff Kramer made
it clear in the article that he's sorry that he went to the bidding process,
it's like taking low bid on something that is very serious. If someone was
going to have brain surgery, you wouldn't go for low bid, you would want the
best that there is available. I think we're asking now that we get the best
and Motorola is the best company. They are the only company that is capable
of bidding the entire system. They are the Cadillac of the industry. They
are the only company that is capable of guaranteeing the whole system in its
entirety and guarantee that it will work.
My last statement, and I'll say this since there is no one here, the other
three gentlemen are not here to defend themselves, there has been insinua-
tions by certain councilmen who are not present today who have challenged
the credibility, the integrity of the staff, they have done it on a con-
sistent basis and I challenge them to come out of the closet, to pull the
sheets off and stand up and be counted and make the accusations. I have
heard accusations against the Chief of Police, the Fire Chief and the city
staff and I think it is time these individuals quit running around playing
hide - and -seek and stand up and be counted and I hope they will do that at
the next council meeting. To challenge the credibility of the staff, fire,
police and the men in this audience is a disgrace and I hope that these
individuals will make their accusations and stand up and be counted.
I was going to say in my last closing statement before the gentlemen didn't-
show up; that I was going to appeal to their sense of justice and community,
but I feel they have shown that they have a lack of concern and a lack of
interest in the community by their absence.
Councilman Shales: I have made a brief outline of the events leading to the
present situation.
On August 13, 1980 a contract was given to Sachs /Freeman Associates to be
implemented in phases. Sachs /Freeman Associates would design the system
based on local needs, prepare specifications for bidding, and oversee
installation of the system by the successful bidder. The first phase of
the Sachs /Freeman report submitted to the City Council in April of 1981
included system alternatives and was not specific to Elgin.
On September 11, 1981 a memorandum was received from Sachs /Freeman Associates
making the recommendations clear, however not specific enough. In December
of 1981 Sachs /Freeman Associates Communications Summary Report was received
by the staff. Again, not specific to Elgin's particular needs.
In January, 1982 separate Sachs/Freeman Associates reports were received
pertaining to 1) the cost comparisons relative to microwave and leased line;
2) space requirements and 3) use of cable TV lines as opposed to microwave
and leased lines.
VOLUME XLVIII
366
In April of 1982 Sachs /Freeman Associates submitted a draft specification
manual. This draft 1) contained pages taken from specification manuals
for other cities; 2) contained at least 19 empty pages; 3) was for a
complete computor aided dispatch system estimated to cost one million
dollars; 4) did not reflect the fire department's desires to use a UHF
system; and 5) was not complete enough to submit to the council.
In July of 1982 Police and Fire Executive Summaries regarding the communica-
tion system were drawn up and costs were estimated from them. In December
of 1982 a proposed budget item of $1,090,000 had been submitted by the staff
to the budget. This request was rejected by the council for the 1983 budget.
In the spring of 1983 police and fire personnel began taking directly to
Motorola in an effort to design a good system at less cost.
On July 11, 1983 the council was given a status report. The council directed
the staff to invite Motorola to the August 8, 1983 council meeting for a
review of the proposed system.
On August 8, 1983 the council was given another status report and was informed
that the date of the meeting with Motorola had been changed to August 29, 1983
and that the staff was seeking a negotiated cost.
On August 29, 1983 the council heard Motorola's proposal, accepted the system
as outlined and authorized the staff to continue negotiations in order to
bring in a firm contract in September.
On September 19, 1983 Motorola submitted their total system price of $756,230
which was rejected in favor of competitive bidding.
In light of the history leading up to the September 12, 1983 vote, those of
us who were acting and negotiating in good faith were stunned by the sudden
reversal of position by the council majority. We were appalled that Motorola
was allowed to make their price public before the staff was directed to prepare
for competitive bidding.
I believe that our original reasons for going ahead with a negotiated contract
with Motorola are still valid.
I. Motorola is the only company who can produce, design and install the
complete system and guarantee that it will all work. In order for the com-
petitive bid system to work there has to be two or more bidders who can
produce the same results. There is no competition comparable to Motorola
because a) Motorola is the recognized leader in the field of Police and Fire
Communication systems; b) no other company makes all the components of the
agreed upon system; c) no other company will guarantee more than its own
portion of the system and none will be responsible for seeing that all
components of the system work together; d) if Sachs /Freeman designs and
oversees the installation of the system they will not guarantee that the
finished product will work together and on pages 1 -8 and 1 -9 of their draft
proposal that is made very clear; and e) Motorola can be held absolutely
responsible for the performance of the finished product.
367 VOLUME XLVIII
2. In the interest of public safety we must proceed as quickly as possible.
The present police and fire communication system is outdated, a situation
which makes it merely inconvenient. However, it is also dangerous, a
situation caused by the fact that the frequencies used are often jammed
with other users making local communication impossible at times. The need
for a new communications system has been recognized for at least the last
three years. I do not want to continue to take responsibility for a
dangerous system any longer than absolutely necessary. Putting the system
out for bids at this late date would serve to greatly delay the whole
project because a complete set of specifications for the system accepted
by the police and fire departments would have to be drawn up and the bid
process itself would add months of further delay after the specifications
were completed.
3. The negotiated prices from Motorola are fair. They compare favorably
with Joliets winning bid from Motorola in all similar areas and Mike Sarro
had drawn up a cost comparison matrix on September 12, 1983 that showed this
favorable comparison. The Motorola negotiated prices are considerably less
than the original prices given to the staff when talks began, such as
$2,862 for a mobile radio as compared to the negotiated price of $1,638 per
radio. Hiring Sachs /Freeman to draw up specifications and oversee the
installation will add $10,000 to the cost that is not necessary if Motorola
is the winning bidder.
In the interest of the public health and safety and my own personal responsi-
bility, I want the best system possible for the least amount of money. I
believe we can accomplish that goal with Motorola without the additional
time delay of bidding, without the additional cost of drawing up specifica-
tions, and without the risk of ending up with a system for which no one will
ultimately be responsible.
Councilman Waters: I, too, share with my fellow council members an embar-
rassment this evening and apologize for those who are present who came to
participate in discussion. The action taken by the City Council last Monday
came as a complete surprise to most people, including Councilwoman Shales,
Councilman Gilliam and myself. It came as a surprise because the council had
given clear and unanimous direction to the staff to proceed with their nego-
tiations with Motorola and never was there any indication that any individual
council member might not be in complete agreement with that directive.
Suddenly four council members reverse themselves. The limited discussion
preceding the action last Monday, coupled with the surprise of the action,
would leave one to speculate that not all of the discussion had been conducted
in the open or shared with all council members. The fact that the reasons
given for the action were either refuted or were not in my opinion weighty
enough to warrant the action taken, would also lead one to conclude that there
must have been other reasons. Some of the reasons for the action which were
not discussed last Monday but have been expressed by individual council members
since that time have also been either refuted or are not worthy, again in my
opinion, of credible consideration. Therefore, I too, asked that the matter be
reconsidered and that those council members who supported the council action
be provided the opportunity to share with and illuminate for the rest of us
the reasons for their support. Perhaps we, too, can be persuaded by the logic
of their reasoning. Their lack of attendance this evening does not diminish
that request and it would be my hope that when the whole council can convene
that there can be a reconsideration of the issue at the earliest possible time.
VOLUME XLVIII 368
Councilman Gilliam: Mr. Mayor, since you are the only one from the four who
made a vote against, I would like to know why you made your vote of no. A year
ago you supported the three to block it, a couple of weeks ago you made a vote
to support it, then you turned around and made a vote to block it. Could you
explain to me your logic, and like Councilman Waters, if there is a logic
maybe you can convince me to change my mind.
Mayor Verbic: I think it's fairly simple to recognize the fact that the first
time it was blocked it was done on the basis of the budget, at that particular
time with the thought in mind that this was being given the highest priority.
When this did become a feasible situation, this was authorized by unanimous
vote of the council feeling that it would be the best time to go ahead with
the communications center. The meeting of approximately three weeks ago left
me with a feeling of I really would like to have competitive bidding on some-
thing of this nature. Anytime you're spending three /quarters of a million
dollars and if there is an opportunity to save the people of the City of Elgin
money, that fact is one of the things that remained uppermost in my mind,
feeling that at least I would be more satisfied with competitive bidding and
if Motorola was the winner on this at least I would feel more satisfied there
was at least more than one company bidding for a project almost running into
three /quarters of a million dollars, which it is. That, in my estimation, is
the reasoning behind my thoughts as far as the communications center. I feel
that the people of Elgin deserve every opportunity as far as bidding, I think
the timing sequence here is not that much as far as time is concerned. I
don't feel that with competitive bidding it is going to put us that far behind
as far as a new communications center. I do know that I voted for the archi-
tectural services and so forth which I feel is very important when the fire
department vacates their present site and I think that from talking with a
few people myself, I know the City of Phoenix, the City of Los Angeles, went
out on competitive bidding and I know Cook County did, and Motorola did not
happen to be the winner in these particular biddings. I do know from talking
with various people at Los Angeles, Cook County and also Phoenix they are
very satisfied with the bid they had from Comm - Center of Van Nuys, California.
I think that this process is one that I feel will be for the best interest of
the taxpayers and this is the way I have looked at it in my own mind, not
denying the policemen or firemen a new communications center which I have
agreed with is very much needed, but one which I feel competitive bidding is
in order with the thought in mind of the possibility of money to be saved to
the taxpayers.
Councilman Gilliam: I think we read in an article in the paper by Sheriff
Kramer that he had low bid_and that he had four components. No one would
assure the product, they only would assure their part of it. I hope that we
don't get to low bid to save a few thousand dollars and end up getting 'a
piece of machinery that won't function, but we can go back to the citizens
and say, guess what, I saved you X amount of dollars, now the piece of
equipment isn't worth a damn, but I saved you a lot of money and end up
being sorry that we did that. I think what's going to happen is we're going
to get low bid, because there is four votes out there to go for low bid,
we're going to take what I consider second best and we're going to save a
few thousand dollars and have a piece of equipment that we're going to be
sorry that we ever purchased, just like the county. I see the county headed
in that direction and they're sorry. I hope that we can gain some experience,
but apparently we're not going to, and anytime that you get four parts and put
it together and no one is going to guarantee that it will work as a whole, I
think we're crazy. We have a company, Motorola, that is the Cadillac of the
369
VOLUME XLVIII
industry, we've said and indicated in Councilman Shales' article there that
their bid is competitive and when you talk about it's not going to be a {
short period of time„ if you talk to staff, they have indicated that it's
going to be an additional 90 days and if Motorola had the parts and they
have the component, it would take 234 days to implement the equipment and
have it running properly. Two- hundred thirty -four days, now you add 90
days on top of that and you've stalled the process another year. For
another year we're going to be with antiquated, outdated, outmoded, unsafe,
and unreliable equipment and each time an officer or a fireman will go out
there he'll wonder if it's going to work and what I'm afraid of is who's
going to be responsible if something goes wrong with that equipment because
we delayed as a council and didn't take on the responsibility. If one of
these gentlemen is hurt or some citizen is hurt because the equipment didn't
work, who is it going to fall on, the three who didn't come to the meeting?
Are they going to run and hide then? That's my concern and I see that
happening. You can't tell me, and I've talked to staff here and I'm sure
they'll get up there and say 90 days. You've got police officers and firemen
who will get up there and tell you how scary it has been to work with that
unreliable equipment and we're going to mess around for another year before
we have something. We delayed it last year and no one said competitive
bidding then, we knew about it this year, we voted and changed. What are
we going to end up with if someone gets seriously hurt and it's going to be
the council's responsibility.
Mayor Verbic: I happened to see Sheriff Kramer last night and he'll tell
You if you talk to him that he's got probably one of the finest operating
communications centers that money can buy and one of the reasons why he
made the statement is because they never did call Sachs /Freeman in and
double check what had been done. I will tell you another thing, Councilman
Gilliam, and that is the fact, and this is one of the things that motivated
me to competitive bidding, that there are 700 cities in the United States
over 50,000 and of these cities not all of them have Motorola. A lot of
them, like I gave you examples, have other companies. The truth of the
matter is that most of these bids are anywhere from 20 to 40 percent below
the level of what you'll get from one bidder. I'm willing to save $200,000
for the City of Elgin and I'm willing to wait three months for bids because
I think this is the way to go, and that's my story.
Councilman Shales: Mr. Mayor, I just want to say again that I am appalled
though that this was not said before and that Motorola was allowed to go
ahead and in good faith bring in their price and then we go to competitive
bidding. If we had been talking about competitive bidding all along I think
that's fine, but we weren't. It came as a complete surprise after Motorola
was allowed to bring in their price. I really think that was unfair to all
of us who thought we were negotiating in good faith.

PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER ANNEXATION
AND "0" LIMITED OFFICE DISTRICT ZONING,
PROPERTY LOCATED AT 472 NORTH MCLEAN
Roger Dahlstrom: The petitioner desires to construct an office
building on the subject property. The property is approximately
1.4 acres and is improved presently with a single family residence,
and features numerous mature trees and shrubs.
At it's regular meeting of August 15, 1983, The Land Use Committee
recommended the approval of Petition 28 -83, subject to the additional
conditions, by a vote of 4 yes and 0 no.
The petitioner is represented tonight by Attorney Roger Franzen
and architect Bruce Dahlquist.

VOLUME XLVIII
Roger Franzen: The property, we feel, is a natural addition to
the City of Elgin, lying on McLean Boulevard and the 110" Limited f
Office is the most logical use of that property, and is consistent
with the Comprehensive Plan.
We have been working with staff and have submitted a proposed
Annexation Agreement and I believe that was included in your
agenda material, Mr. Bruce Dahlquist is here and he has some
drawings showing how they intend to improve the property and
at this time I will let him speak to his proposed plans and
thereafter we will be very happy to address any questions you
may have..
Bruce Dahlquist: Our intention is to develop an office condominium
building, about 13,000 square feet. Basically the intent is to
have a structure that responds to the existing landscaping, rather
than just having a flat site and then building the landscaping
around it. (Mr. Dahlquist displayed exhibits of the proposed
building to the Council).
Councilman Schmidt: The home that is presently located on the
property, is that going to be demolished, or will that become
an office building also.
Bruce Dahlquist: No. The intent is to move that home to an
adjacent lot and to use it as a home.
Mayor Verbic: Is there anyone here who would like to speak for
or against this petition. If not, I would entertain a motion
to close the public hearing.
Councilman Andersen made a motion, seconded by Councilman Hansen,
to close the public hearing. Yeas: Councilmen Andersen, Hansen,
Schmidt, Shales, Waters and Mayor Verbic. Nays: None.

AUTHORIZING THE CITY OF ELGIN TO ENTER INTO AN AGREEMENT
WITH THE COUNTY OF COOK, ILLINOIS, WITH RESPECT TO THE
ISSUANCE OF CERTAIN BONDS FOR HOUSING PURPOSES BY THE COIJNPY OF COOK
WHEREAS, the availability of decent, safe and sanitary housing that
most people can afford is essential to the health and safety of the
inhabitants of the City of Elgin, Cook and Kane Counties, Illinois
(the "Municipality ") and to the financial well -being of the Municipality;
and
WHEREAS, the shortage of such decent, safe and sanitary housing
that most people can afford is not transitory and self curing and it is
necessary that this Municipality take all possible action to lower the
cost of such housing in order to make it available to a larger portion
of the inhabitants of the Municipality; and
WHEREAS, the Municipality is a "home rule" unit of government under
Article VII of the 1970 Constitution of Illinois and is therefore author-
ized to engage in a home mortgage loan program and to issue its bonds
for such purpose; and
- WHEREAS, it has heretofore been found and it is hereby determined
that it is not feasible for the Municipality to issue its bonds and to
engage in a home mortgage loan program and that it is in the best interests
of the Municipality to enter into an agreement with the County of Cook,
State of Illinois (the "County ") pursuant to the provisions of Section 10
of Article VII of the 1970 Constitution of the State of Illinois which
authorizes the Municipality to enter into intergovernmental cooperation
agreements with other units of government, which agreement will enable
the County of Cook to issue its bonds for housing purposes in accordance
with its Constitutional home rule powers and pursuant to the provisions
of the Mortgage Subsidy Bond Tax Act of 1980 (the "Act "); and
WHEREAS, it is necessary, therefore, for the Municipality, acting
by its corporate authorities, to approve a form of agreement with the
County whereby the Municipality allocates to the County all of its 1983
authority to issue "qualified mortgage bonds" (as defined in the Act).
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
ELGIN, COOK AND KANT COUNTIES, ILLINOIS:
Section 1. That the Mayor and Clerk of the City of Elgin are hereby
authorized, empowered and directed to enter into an agreement with the
County in substantially the form attached to this resolution with such
changes as shall be approved by the officials of the Municipality executing
the same.
Section 2. That the officials of the Municipality are hereby author -

PETITION 30-83 REQUESTING A B °3 SERVICE
BUS INESS SPECIAL USE FDR AN ELECTRONIC
GAME CENTER PROPERTY LOCATED AT
BLUFF CITY BOULEVARD ------- DENIED
Roger Dahlstrom: Electronic game centers and amusement establish-
ments are permitted only as a special use within the B -2, B -3 and
B -4 zoning districts. The subject property is located on the
southwest corner of St. Charles Street and Bluff City Boulevard.
The property is improved with a two -story masonry structure and
off - street parking facilities. There are two vacant commercial
units and four apartments in the building. Recently the building
was occupied by a pharamacy and real estate office.
At its regular meeting of September 6, 1983, the Land Use Committee
recommended special use approval, subject to certain conditions
as outlined above, by a vote of 5 yes and 0 no.
Mayor Verbic: Do we have a traffic survey on St. Charles or
Bluff City Blvd.
Roger Dahlstrom: It is our understanding that the most recent
traffic analysis is there are about 9300 vehicles on St. Charles
north of Bluff City Boulevard and approximately 11,000 south.
We don't have an available figure on Bluff City at this time.
It is a controlled lighted intersection.
Mayor Verbic: I do have some petitions that have been presented
this evening and I would like the Council members to take a look
at them.
Councilman Schmidt: On one page here it says a bicycle rack
is to be installed on the premises. Just where on the premises
do they intend to install a bicycle rack.
Roger Dahlstrom: I don't know that we specified a specific
location for it.
Councilman Schmidt: Do you mean inside the building because the
lot line is right up to the sidewalk.
Jerry Deering: It would have to be somewhere associated with
the parking lot.
Roger Dahlstrom: There is no other place it could be other
than on public property, on the sidewalk, so it would almost
have to be somewhere in the parking lot area.
Mayor Verbic: I would like the people who are here tonight to
know that we have a considerable amount of material which we
have received on this proposed special use and all of the
testimony from the Land Use Commission hearing has been
transcribed and provided to us. So we have all had the
opportunity to read this over and apprise ourselves of what
happened at the Land Use Commission hearing.

I did receive a telegram today and some forty or fifty letters. The
telegram is from the Principal of Garfield School, Ann Jones. This
was sent to the Council and stated "the staff and parents of Garfield
School are deeply committed to accelerating educational opportunities.
An arcade on Bluff City Boulevard would be counter - productive to the
needs and desires of our fine community,"
Councilman Waters: It seems to me as I read through the transcripts,
and as I read the letters and discussed the matter with various
individuals on the telephone, one of the prevailing arguments,
perhaps the single most valid argument that has been presented is
the fact that there are not enough parking spaces in compliance
with the City Code.
As I read the analysis by the city staff I thought they made a
very cogent point and that is that regardless of what goes into
that facility I don't think anybody has any desire to see that
being a boarded -up empty facility. Regardless of what goes in
there the same issue is going to be there. You can't put a drug
store in there. You can't put an attorney's office in there. You
can't put a real estate office in there. I don't care what might
else go into that facility the parking problem is still going to
be there, that is not going to go away.
I still stand on that position. I think we are faced with a
situation there where the parking problem is going to be present
with us regardless of what goes into that facility. I personally
also have a problem with the fact that we have allowed the same
type of a center in other places in the city with similar restric-
tions, and I think it.puts the Council in a rather awkward position
of being asked to say no to this petition simply because the
neighbors in that area have no desire to have it located in their
particular part of the community.
If the Council is going to accept the concept of game centers in
the community and in the zoning ordinances we restrict where those
are to be located and somebody comes in with a petition that is in
compliance with that zoning ordinance, I see little argument that
can sway me at this point that we should deny this petition.
Councilman Andersen: As an old southender, having lived down there
for about thirty years, I saw the building when Mr. Burns had a
thriving drug; store there that entertained some three to four
hundred customers a day and a grocery store next to him. There
was considerably more traffic those days in and out of that
building than I anticipate would go in and out of there now if
a game center were in there.
403
VOLUME XLVIII
I cannot see how we can deprive a man who owns a building the
right to use it. I am as much of a southender as a lot of
these people out here, but you still have to face the fact
that a man is wanting to operate a legitimate business, in
a building that he owns, that is zoned property, and it has
been recommended to us by the Land Use and Planning Committee
that it be approved. I cannot see how we can vote otherwise.
To constantly overturn their decisions is to make a mockery
out of anybody that we put on those committees and ask them
to serve.
Mayor Verbic: I take a different viewpoint on it. I know
the specifics regarding the Bm3 zoning, but I am particularly
worried about the trend and the problems which I have been
receiving by way of school principals, teachers, etc, in
regards to the youngsters participating in some of these
game centers throughout the city. I also think that the
nine to eleven thousand traffic count, which Mr. Dahlstrom
mentioned, is going to compound the problems with this type
of facility. I don't feel this type of operation is
conducive to this location.
Councilwoman Shales: I feel a great frustration in-dealing
with this type of question. I feel the same frustration that
Land Use Committee members voiced in their minutes. I would
like to see the Council, the Land Use and Planning Commissions,
and the Planning Department, sit down and draw up some better
guidelines for this kind of enterprise.
It is a very emotional issue and when the neighbors say to me
would you like one in your neighborhood, and if i am honest,
would have to say no. It is not because I believe they are
a -den of evil, or there is something wrong with them, but I
really would not like one in my neighborhood,and I think that
is a legitimate concern of these neighbors, and that is where
my frustration comes in dealing with this.
I am going to vote no because we set a precedent, we denied
Mr. Minus the same kind of an establishment in the north end,
I think this Council set a precedent by that vote and therefore
I would continue that precedent by voting no on this one.
Pat Isabue, 561 Raymond St.: I would just like to know if the
Land Use transcript is available for us to read also, or is it
just for the Council members.
Mayor Verbic: It is public record, the City Clerk would have
thoseavailable for you.
Bruce Minus: My petition was rejected and denied on the basis
of certain facts or information. One was the safety, or the
traffic. I have here with me from the Illinois Department of
Transportation, Division of Traffic Safety, an Urban reference
report showing the amount of accidents and injuries occurring
at St. Charles and Bluff City Boulevard, from 1980 through
May, 1983.
VOLUME XLVIII 404
Out of 3Z yearn they have had an accumulation of 40 accidents
with 20 injuries. In respect to what I submitted and respect
to this, this is probably a two - hundred fold increase in
injuries and a three times the amount of traffic incidents
occurring at this intersection as opposed to the one I was
denied. All I am saying is that if I was denied the petition,
based on an intersection that had no ,injuries for 5 years, then
feel it is only fair that as a businessman that these be
taken under consideration.
Carol Braun, 858 St. Charles: Our own son was hit by a car
6 years ago, luckily he was not hurt and it was because of
the no turn on red, the cars are allowed to turn and the
traffic is worse now than it was then.
Willie Spates, Raymond 'Street: I think the parents and the..
Principal of Garfield School has the burden of proof of showing
us how this can make the juveniles be more delinquent. There
is no studies, there is no documented proof whatsoever that
proves that these kids are going to be delinquents simply
because there is an arcade center in the area.
I think it is only fair to say there are other businesses
in the area. You have a tatoo business there on the south
end, you got Smitty's Tap, another liquor store across the
street and Stop n' Go with other arcade machines. I think
that is what fair for one should be fair for all.
I would like to say that Mr. Stewart should have the business
and if he can't maybe we need to take another look at it and
maybe the City Council and the Land Review Committee should
get some kind of uniform code and let that be established
right away so that Mr. Stewart and this other gentleman will
not have to go through this and talk about bicycle racks and
traffic when we know that the issue is whether we want the
arcade or not.

PETITION 25 -83 REQUESTING AN AMENDMENT
Roger Dahlstrom: Petition 25 -83 requesting an amendment to
Chapter 19.44.11 "Off Street Parking" of the Elgin Municipal
Code. Without going into great detail basically this amend-
ment effects two sections of the parking lot ordinance. Those
dealing with the retroactive full compliance of this section
for gravel lots in commercial and industrial areas based on
a change in use or vacancy. Full compliance now would only
be associated with structural expansion exceeding 25 %. Floor

VOLUME XLVIII
area expansion of existing parking area, change in zoning
classification, the declaration of a public nuisance, or
the paving or reconstruction of an existing parking lot.
Mayor Verbic: This is the initial beginning of the revision
of the ordinance.
Roger Dahlstrom: That is right. We are in
complete comprehensive review of amendments
parking ordinance at this time. This was a
dealt with what we felt was the most urgent
community, the retroactive requirement and
of gravel lots.
the process of a
to the off- street
first step and
concern to the
Full compliance
Councilman Schmidt: Does this effect any of the improvements
on any existing lots. For instance, if a person has part of
his parking lot that abuts right up to a sidewalk, with a fence,
say Chats the grandfather part of it and then he put in a new
lot next to it, but had to stay five feet away from the sidewalk.
Can he now blacktop that five feet and make it all uniform, or
do we have to wait for that to come yet.
Roger Dahlstrom: That would depend on the extent of the new lot.
If it was a lot required because of a greater than 25% expansion
of the floor area then it would have to be in full compliance
as it is written now. That particular section of the ordinance
was not effected.
Councilman Schmidt: Say there is a five foot green area, ninety
feet long, can that be blacktopped or does that have to stay green,
if you want_ to resurface,
Roger Dahlstrom: If it were part of .a required setback it would
have to remain green.
Councilman Andersen: I don't see it all in this one, but there
was a magic phrase'in: there, if the space is available there
seems to be a tone running through there all the time, if the
space is available. Another thing here is the 180 days, is
there something magic about 180 days a piece of property being
vacant.
Roger Dahlstrom: The 180 day requirement is the vacancy requirement
which has been excluded from the ordinance as it is now written.
The proposed amendment would eliminate that and the space is
available basically relates to situations where there are
certain topographical or physical restraints, sometime in a
river city we encounter those.
Councilman Waters: I plan to vote in favor of this amendment
and I guess in all honesty I would have to say it probably is
against my better judgment. I would like to commend first of
all the Planning Commission. In reading through the transcript
VOLUME XLVIII
406
it was obvious that they anguished over this issue and I think
it is one of the most thorough discussions that I have read
from the Planning Commission.
I was particularly struck by how they anguished over this and
there was not a clear cut issue, a clear cut consensus, I was
particularly struck by the comment of Ray Dalton where he
talked of it in terms of a balancing between that of relaxing
the standards versus the standard of empty buildings and
think that is really what we are having to deal with.
As I said I am going to support it and it's probably against
my better judgment, but I think we have to do that under
these times and these conditions, or else that balance is
going to sway the wrong way,
Mayor Verbic: Why is it against your better judgment.
Councilman Waters: Because my better judgment says that I
think the standards are appropriate and that knowing where
that line is, knowing where that point of demarcation is,
I don't have that kind of wisdom. I would like to see those
buildings full and in 'total compliance with the standards
the way they are.. That is not reality and how far you go
in order to maintain the standards before you jeopardize
that point of having those buildings full I don't know, and
I guess this is one time that we have to make the effort to
meet partway.
Mayor Verbic: Here is a city 150 years old and I think you
have to look at It more realistically than what you just said,
because if you have a city in this age catagory you have a
lot of businesses which occuplied'bui'ldings many years ago.
As these businesses became successful they have gone on to
occupy new space and therefore the old buildings become
vacant. If you were the owner of one of the buildings that
was built many years ago and you had to bring it up to
compliance, considering the cost factor, I think you would
look at it differently. You have to look at how much a
young businessman, and these are the people we look to
occupying these old buildings because of the rent factor,
he does not have the money to put up front to get into
it initially.
To look at it realistically we must support the new businesses
coming into town, who will provide jobs,
Councilwoman Shales: I appreciate the work that has gone into
this by the Planning Department, the Planning Committee and
the Chamber of Commerce and i think we have come up with a
good compromise, and I would like to move that we approve
Petition 25 -83.

424 VOLUME XLVIII
Statement read by Councilman Andersen
"I would like to respond to a statement read by a councilman
at the October 10th meeting of the Elgin City Council. Although
he directed his comments to the council as a whole, I believe
they were intended for me.
The question at issue was the size of pipe used on the awnings
installed at the Fountain Square Campus of Elgin Community
College. The specifications for the project called for one
inch pipe, but three - quarter inch pipe had been used. Because
the specifications were not met, and because I do not think
specifications for city projects should be treated casually,
had opposed payment of the full bill for the work. I had
contended the City of Elgin should receive some kind of
reduction in the bill, to account for the difference in
pipe size.
The statement declared that we members of the council had
cheapened ourselves in the eyes of others by debating the
matter. It said we had sullied the reputation of the
proprietor of the Richter Awning Company. It also
reproached us for not praising, thanking and commending the
project's architect, Charles Cassell; the project's
contractors; and Leo Nelson, the city manager and his staff
for what was called their "vision and innovation." The
statement sullied the reputation of one of the other bidders
by alleging he had provided spurious figures and accusations.
think it would be useful to review the history of my involvement in the pipe matter. Howard Hunt of the Groh
Awning Company made a mistake on his bid. He recognized
it when it was too late to correct it. As a consequence,
and by his own admission, he would not have received the
bid. However, he could not see how the Richter Awning
Company could turn a profit on the project with the bid
that company had offered. He shared his convictions with
the city manager, Leo Nelson. The city manager suggested
to Mr. Hunt that if he saw anything wrong with the way the
awnings were installed, he should advise the city manager
of that.
Mr. Hunt observed the difference in pipe sizes and told the
city manager. After a time Mr. Hunt was called by Charles
Cassell, the project's architect, who said he had authorized
Mr. Richter to use the smaller pipe.
Mr. Hunt told Mr. Cassell he believed he had the grounds
for a law suit against the City of Elgin because he was not
given the opportunity to rebid the project using the lesser
pipe size.
Mr. Cassell replied Mr. Hunt might well be correct, and
asked if Mr. Hunt did plan to bring suit. Mr. Hunt declined
to answer. Mr. Cassell told Mr. Hunt he would be talking to
him in the near future, but Mr. Hunt heard nothing more.
After a time Mr. Hunt came to me with the matter and I raised
VOLUME XLVIII 425
the issue at a council work session.
Now, if Mr. Richter's reputation has been sullied, he has
only himself and Mr. Cassell to blame. The city council
did not ask the architect for a change in specification.
It did not authorize Mr. Cassell to grant such a change.
I see nothing "visionary" or "innovative" about what Mr.
Richter and Mr. Cassell did. I see nothing for which
they should be praised, thanked or commended.
Further, while the city manager did encourage Mr. Hunt to
share his concerns with him, and while he was responsible
for the one meeting between Mr. Hunt and Mr. Cassell, he
did not pursue the matter, nor did he tell the council
about it. I see nothing for which to praise, thank or
commend the city manager. Praise, thanks and commendation
should be reserved for those occasions when performance is
of an extraordinarily good quality. I cannot believe anyone
could seriously contend that was the case here.
have found it interesting that Councilman Waters should
have seen fit to throw himself headlong into this controversy.
Mr. Waters is employed by District 509 as an administrator of
sorts at Elgin Community College. In times past, Mr. Waters
has abstained from matters relating to the expenditure of
money on the Sears building, fearing a possible conflict
of interest. In the awning matter, he not only voted on
the motion to pay the Richter bill in full, he himself
made the motion.
In addition to his administrative duties, Mr. Waters serves
the District 509 board of trustees as its secretary. For
his services, he is paid an additional three thousand dollars
per year, over and above his regular salary, which is .a
further apparent conflict of interest.
I have been criticized by the father of one
prominent members of the District 509 board
me publicly, not once, but three times, and
for my questions about the awnings at the S
just goes to prove,, you can't buy me with a
bution. Obviously, I ruffled more than Mr.

Waters' feathers.
There are those who never join the pursuit of excellence.
There are those to whom mediocrity is good enough. There
are those who feel that to short - change the city is of small
consequence.
During the remainder of my term on this council, I shall
continue to ferret out and to speak out against 'these
practices."

PUBLIC HEARING OF PETITION 31 -83
REQUESTING ANNEXATION B SERVICE
BUSINESS DISTRICT AND M-Z GENERAL
MANUFACTURING DISTRICT ZONING -
ELGIN AIRPORT PROPERTY
Roger Dahlstrom: The subject property is approximately
185 acres of which 70 acres of the subject property is
proposed for B -3 zoning, and approximately 109 acres for
M -2 zoning. The proposed use of the subject property
includes a commercial shopping center, a hotel, and office,
research, and manufacturing.
should be noted that the petitioner is not requesting
subdivision approval at this time, and that the petitioner
may return in the future to adjust the location of the
B -3 zoning district boundary. It is our understanding
that an adjustment would probably be down to an area of
approximately 30 acres in total.
The corridor formed by the Northwest Tollway has provided
adjacent properties with a high level of regional accessi-
bility and visibility. The has resulted in the develop-
ment of office, research, and manufacturing areas straddling
the tollway east from Chicago.
At its regular meeting of September 6, 1983, the Land Use
Committee recommended annexation and zoning approval by a
vote of 5 yes and 0 no.
Attorney Heimberg: As you know this annexation agreement
was filed in August and since that time the whole project
has evolved somewhat differently than was originally con-
templated and because of that we would request that tonight's
hearing not result in a vote, but rather be continued until
an additional date so that revisions to the annexation
agreement, based on staff comments and also evolution of
VOLUME XLVIII
427
the project can be made an submitted to you at an early date
for your review.
Charles Burnidge: Most of the material we covered last
Thursday evening, but I would like to cover it again tonight
for the public record. The drawing that you are looking at
at this time is a drawing that we submitted at the time of
the annexation on August 14th. This drawing shows the
acreage that is proposed for the B -3 zoning and the acreage
that is proposed for the M-2 zoning in that area.
At the time this was submitted we did not have a plan worked
out that made sense of this. Since that time we have a
plan which incorporates the shopping center and the proposed
road system, as well as the light industrial and research
and development useage -. The only change on this drawing
from the August 14th submittal, at that time we were con-
templating that it.may be possible to use the 10 acres that
is located in this area for detention purposes. Since
that time we are no longer pursuing that idea and we are
proposing that the detention take place in different areas.
So our earlier annexation agreement and the one that is
being revised and submitted this week you will see changes
which will address areas such as detention;
Also in our presentation on Thursday evening, we talked
about three requests that the developer, Dr; Sullivan, is
requesting and we are talking about the improvements of
this intersection, we are talking about the improvements
of this road, as well as a different type of improvement
of the roadway that continues here, under the Tollway to
the present improvements and West River Road. Then we
are talking about the improvements of Route 31 north to
the Chateau Louise.
We discussed last Thursday the cost of those improvements
and the manner in which my client is proposing that the
city could act in partnership with my client, Dr. Sullivan,
and that is the Doctor and his group of investors will
front the cost of this intersection, which is in the
range of $400,000 to $700,000. Front the costs of the
improvement of this road and the continuation of this road,
which is in the range of $1.2 million to $1.4 million and
a total of$1.6 to $2.1 million on the entire improvements,
and to act with the State on the improvements of Route 31.
We are asking that the developer be reimbursed for those
improvements through sales tax generated by the shopping
center and last week I requested that 100% of those
reimbursements come from the shopping center and we had
some discussion on that. This evening I would propose
that we would be willing to discuss that less than 100%
at one time be spread over a number of years for 100%
participation in those improvements, not at one time.
428 VOLUME XLVIII
The reasons that we felt this was a fair proposal is that
the developer is promoting the city on a national level,
developments are being offered incentives in other
communities, it will help reduce the cost of the land of
the development to make this area competitive with other
areas, and the Doctor is not a large corporation, but a
group of local investors and that he is in need of having
these dollars and these participations to make the project
go.
When we came to the city last week we have met with the
staff and Mayor Verbic on Wednesday afternoon and the
Mayor had asked us to come back with three things for
the Thursday evening meeting. He asked what were the
costs up front for the city, what improvements were we
asking for and in what dollar amounts. So we came that
evening prepared to say that there would be no costs up
front for the city, that the developer would front all
of these costs. What improvements, the three that I have
covered and what dollar amounts, the $1.6 million to $2.1
mi ll ion.
Attorney Heimberg; I believe you have all received the
September l6th letter from Jerry Deering in which there
were five pages and twenty -five separate paragraphs
outling staff's concerns and while I don't wish to
minimize any of those comments, many of them have to do
with language procedures and virtually all of them are
acceptable to our client. Our goal tonight is to highlight
some of the maior areas of concern as have been presented
to us by staff.
First of all there was a concern stated that the language
in paragraph 3 (c) as written led you to believe that we
were attempting to circumvent the:'hezoning procedures,
which are prescribed by Statute, in order to adjust the
zoning boundaries between the actual uses, as finally
evolved. That was never our intention and Paragraph 3 (c)
will be expanded upon or redrafted so that concern is
eliminated.
Paragraph 7 and 12 both relate to the 10 acre parcel which
Charles referred to earlier as not being part of our
present property, but that we hope to be able to acquire
and incorporate in the storm water detention, because we
have given up the hope of acquiring that property and
incorprating it into the project those two paragraphs
will be substantially altered so that those concerns
that were brought up in Jerry's letter will not be a
problem anymore.
Paragraphs 8 (a) through 8 (c) basically describe the areas
where the city's participation is being requested. There
were legal questions brought up by those paragraphs and they
will be substantially changed to conform to the final
agreement that is arrived at.
VOLUME XLVIII 429
Paragraph 10 dealing with a freeze of real estate taxes
will be deleted.
Paragraph 13 discussed off - street parking changes, these
are things that staff assures us are being addressed in
their concept and redrafts of that section of the zoning
ordinance and in fact they indicate that most of the areas
that we addressed in our annexation agreement suggested
paragraph 13 will be covered by the new ordinance, unhappily_
that ordinance is not ready yet, so that is one area that will
have to be left open for further discussion.
We would like to insert an entire new paragraph regarding
the possibility of special service area financing, which is
somewhat similar to Paragraph 14 that is in the agreement
and pertains to special assessment financing.
Charles earlier alluded to the subject matter of Paragraph
15 of the original draft which had to do with a rebate to
the developer of sales, hotel /motel room rental taxes and
we wi.11 be addressing new language and working with the
Corporation Counsel on that subject matter.
Paragraph 29 which had to do with increases in fees not
being applicable for a 60 day period, is just being
dropped, we agree with the staff that it is an impractical
request so we are withdrawing that particular paragraph.
As I said earlier many of the other paragraphs will be revised
in form, but not particularly in content, to conform with the
September 16th letter. We hope to have a redraft of the
agreement to you in the next few days so there will be
sufficient time to review it in advance of the next hearing,
Charles Bvrnidge; I think one of the areas that the meeting
last Thursday brought to mind for me dealt with the changes
that have taken place in the annexation agreement since we
wrote it and presented it on August 14th, and why those
changes have taken place.
We would hope to be working for a final answer on this by
your November 14th meeting. We talked to Pepper Construction
today concerning concerns of the Melvin Simon people for
occupancy in the Fall of 1984 for a portion of the shopping
center and of course they stated to me that they should be
under construction at this time for that type of date. We
have the pressures of time upon us and we are hopeful that
between now and the 14th that we can reach an agreement.
We are talking about the project in phases, although the
Melvin Simon people are requesting that these roads and
the intersection improvement be in place at the time the
center opens. Many items still need to be resolved concerning
the intersection improvements and while we are under a lot
of time constraints that those items can be resolved.
430
VOLUME XLVIII
Councilwoman Shales: You said that the reimbursing for the
improvements would come from the sales tax from the shopping
center, strictly.
Charles Burnidge: No, I'm sorry I said that, from the sales
tax from the project. We are proposing a shopping center
here of 30 acres, but there could also be commercial in this
area that would also have some sales tax.
Councilwoman Shales: Sales tax from the project where ever
it comes in the project. Say the improvements are made but
no sales tax, or very little sales tax is ever generated,
would we be liable for the improvements if there didn't
happen to be any sales tax.
Counsel Jentsch: My understanding was if there are no
revenues generated there would be no reimbursement by the
city.
Councilwoman Shales: So that the developer is really
committing himself up front to a great deal of money that
he may not be reimbursed for if he does not complete his
project. I am impressed now by the commitment that the
developer is prepared to make and I feel much better about
this proposal than I did about the first one where I felt
the city was making all the commitments and that the
developer was not making any.
Charles Burnidge: This was an area that was stressed by
the staff and the Mayor that we share in that responsibility
and that was one of the reasons it was turned around to put
that burden on us. We are still asking to be reimbursed,
but we are providing the funds to do that reimbursement.
Councilwoman Shales: Yes, but the commitment is that you
are - -- in order to be reimbursed something is going to
have to happen, and I like that.
Councilman Waters: I understand also from the comments
last Thursday night and this evening, that you are limiting
that reimbursement to the sales tax. Yet any increased
benefit that the city might derive from an increase in
the assessed valuation of that property, because of that
project, the city would be the beneficiary of.
Charles Burnidge: That is correct. The area that we had
in the annexation agreement that dealt with that will be
deleted, so we are nolonger discussing increased value of
the property and the tax that is associated with that.
Councilman Andersen: Charlie, would you entertain a notion
that we pay back not more than 50% of our sales tax revenue
in any given year, and take a maximum of twenty years to
pay it back.
VOLUME XLVIII 431
Charles Burnidge: As I mentioned the other evening I think
that we have some flexibility there. I stated that at the
meeting and afterwards we met with Dr. Sullivan to discuss
that as an item. Could we have flexibility and he said yes
on that, so we would certainly entertain that be a percent-
age and a longer period of time. Now, whether it be 50%
or not we would have to discuss that and .respond back to
the Council.
Councilman Andersen: I say 50% because the city will
undoubtedly have to provide many services for that area
and that will all cost money, and certainly some of that
sales tax money would be useful.
Charles Burnidge: Of course the increased property site
tax would go to the city so their is some compensation
in that area also.
Mayor Verbic: You stated in the fourth year you would
anticipate $400,000 in sales tax revenue.
Charles Burnidge: In looking at the shopping center people
we had asked that question of the,Melvin Simon Company
concerning sales tax and they said at a mature, when the
center is mature, in its fourth and fifth year, it should
generate approximately $400,000 in sales tax.
Now the first year a portion of the center would be built,
only about 120,000 square feet. In the second year the
second portion of the center would be built. The maximum
that they are proposing sai,es tax revenue to the city based
on the shopping center is $367,000 as opposed to $400,000,
that is what is suggested.
Mayor Verbic: The maximum in the fourth and fifth year.
Charles Burnidge: In 1985 $105,000, in 1986 $333,000, in
1987 $367,000 and then the estimate remains constant from
that year on and then other areas that are entering in are
the sales tax generating from other areas of the center
bringing it up to $400,000 in 1990.
Councilman Hansen: I think there is an enormous amount of
competition for these kind of developments. We are not in
the good old days anymore where we can just fall into these
so I have said before and I will restate that I think we
have to do some cooperating and make a commitment to furnish
the roads that will give these people access to the project.
think that is why governmental units were formed and that
is one of our tasks and I can appreciate the fact that these
people want these improvements put in when they want.to
attract their customers and not five years hence.
I think it would also behoove us to really put the pressure
on the State DOT to get some participation from them for
the Route 31 improvements that are involved. That is a
State route and regardless of the posture that they may
432 VOLUME XLVIII
to take they have a responsibility to provide the roads
and arterials that the citizens need. so I think that
while this is still a concept, I can embrace the principal
that it is based on.
Councilman Gilliam: Are you saying that we should partici-
pate 100% or we should negotiate.
Councilman Hansen: Well I think Councilman Andersen's
approach, while I have not thought it through entirely, is
realistic, it would still leave us part of the sales tax
revenue and still do the job. One way to look at that is
if that were developed as pure office research and
manufacturing we would not get any sales tax out of it, or
very little at least. So I view the sales tax as a kind
of a plum any way, and I bike Pete's idea for a starter.
Councilman Gilliam: I hate to see us as a Council and I
see this danger that we are seven people trying to negotiate
with one individual and .Charles has his hand pretty well
covered up and we seem to expose ours and we seem to
negotiate at a disadvantage. I would hope that we would
direct staff to negotiate it and not have seven individuals
exposing our hand and maybe giving the ship away when we
don't have to.
Mayor Verbic: You are absolutely correct and I think
brought that out last week. I have discussed several
alternatives here such as the intersection improvement
and the level of the street improvements up to the point
of where the sales tax revenue would be generated. in
other words you would not continue the improvement beyond
the commercial business that would be the responsibility
of the developer.
Councilman Hansen: Maybe I could explain my position by
citing an example. Recently the city and maybe some other
local governmental units improved the intersection of Big
Timber and McLean. Who did that benefit, that really
benefited the increasing number of residents in West Century
Oaks, Miller Davis Industrial complex and that was an
intersection improvement that the governmental units felt
that they needed to move people to their destinations and
places of business. I view this as the same situation, the
big difference here is that they would like to put the
improvements in when they need them, not three years hence
when we get around to heavy traffic jams and then decide we
need them. That is the rational I use for supporting this
kind of thing.
Mayor Verbic: i don't think the Council at this particular
point is willing to assume 100% reimbursement for the road
improvements discussed this evening.
Councilman Waters: Mr. Mayor, I would like to challenge that,
I am not sure that we have a poll, I don't know that we have
any vote, or any indication of that. We talk about '100%
VOLUME XLVIII
and we are talking about it on two different levels. One
is a 100% reimbursement with a cost of those improvements
The other is a percentage of sales tax applied each year
to that 100% reimbursement. I think we ought not to confuse
those two issues because I think we start throwing around
100% we are going to get those two intermingled. I am not
sure that we have a consenus either way of the Council at'
this point.
Mayor Verbic: I think that any discussion right now is
premature. I would like to see the staff dicuss with the
developers the possibility of other alternatives which can
be approached and I would like to have their recommendation
also.
Councilman Gilliam: Mr. Mayor, 1 would support that before
we end up giving something away. I make a motion that we
table this discussion and continue the Public Hearing to
November 14th.
Councilwoman Shales: I will second that.

deposit in any fund or account in connection with the Bonds,
whether or not such moneys were derived from the proceeds of the

manner which will cause the Bonds to be "arbitrage bonds" within
the meaning of Section 103(c) of the Internal Revenue Code of
1954, as amended, and any lawful regulations promulgated thereunder,
including Treas. Reg. §$1.103 -13, 1.103 -14 and 1.103 -15 (1979),
as the same presently exist, or may from time to time hereafter

by state law, if, when and to the extent that said Section 103(c)
or regulations promulgated thereunder shall be repealed or relaxed
or shall be held void by final decision of a court of competent
Jurisdiction, but only if any investment made by virtue of such
repeal, relaxation or decision would not, in the opinion of
counsel of recognized competence in such matters, result in making
the interest on the Bonds subject to federal income taxation.
Section 10. Registered Form. The City recognizes
that Section 103(,1) of the Code requires the Bonds to be issued
and to remain in fully registered form in order that interest
thereon is exempt from federal income taxation under laws in

the City agrees that it will not take any action to permit the
Bonds to be issued in, or converted into, bearer or coupon form.

RECOGNIZE PERSONS PRESENT
Michael Williams, 827 Orange Street: l would like to bring to
the attention of the Council about an ordinance that I think
needs to be passed. That is the sales of martial arts weapons
in the city limits of Elgin. These are known as steel throwing
stars and when thrown by anybody it will stick into almost
anything, very easily the body of a person. These particular
items here were sold to my oldest boy who is 14 years old by
Master Kim's Karate School in downtown Elgin. All of the
weapons that he sells and all of the weapons are silent and
very dangerous, just as dangerous as any gun.
Councilman Schmidt: I feel that this citizen has a very valid
complaint here and I like to make a recommendation that we have
our legal staff look into this a little further to see if an
ordinance is possible to prohibit this sort of thing.
Chief Baird: We are aware of the information that Mr. Williams
brings to your attention. The statutes donot preclude the
selling of this type of weapon or the possession to either a
juvenile or adult.
We are in contact with our legal staff, Mr. Blondin, and he is
in the process of checking to see if the city could pass an
ordinance that would preclude the sale of this type of weapon
to persons ender the age of seventeen.
Pat Isabue, 561 Raymond St.: My son is a junior at Elgin High
School and he does see these weapons in the High School. I
think that maybe the school personnel should be talked to about
this problem.

BID AWARDED FOR EASTSIDE WATER
TRANSMISSION MAIN
Councilman Waters made a motion, seconded by Councilwoman Shales,
to award this contract to Abbott Contractors, Inc., with the
ductile iron pipe option for $1,022,673.20.
R. E. Lewis, representing GA Lock Joint Pipe, concrete pipe
suppliers: As you probably know on this bid for the Eastside
Water Transmission Main, there were two equal products specified.
Alternate A was ductile iron pipe. Alternate B was prestressed
concrete cylinder pipe.
We have in all good faith bid this job, bid it with Abbott and
all the contractors who have turned bids into you. Abbott, was
low by approximately $25,000 with prestressed concrete cylinder,
pipe.
I cannot understand when there are approximately fifty million
498
VOLUME XLVIII
feet of prestressed concrete cylinder pipe in service in this {
country, how the City of Elgin can afford to just disregard
that and throw away $25,000. The City of Elgin already has
prestressed concrete cylinder pipe in their system and I ask
you how anybody in good faith can then throw away $25,000
and turn down a product that you already have in your system.
We are the only pressure pipe manufacturer still located in
the State of Illinois. We have about three - hundred people in
our plant, we pay taxes in the State of Illinois, our truckers
are from the State of Illinois and I certainly think it
behooves you, with that in mind, plus the fact of throwing
away $25,000 for a product that is proven not to be any better
product.
Harry Brenner, GA Lock Joint Pipe: What Dick is telling you
is pretty much the truth. What we faced here is a re -bid of
a project of about two or three months ago when ductile iron
only was a specified material on this particular project. The
bids at that time came in at about $1,080,000. The bids were
rejected for whatever reason at that particular time by the
City Council. A re -bid was made just recently with the
incorporation of prestressed concrete cylinder pipe as an
equal material. The alternative was being accepted on a
prestressed bid,versus as a ductile iron bid.
The contractor is a very reputable firm in the State of
Illinois and throughout the country and he has bid ductile
iron low in some cases, he has bid concrete low in some cases.
In this particular case he evaluated the entire job and he
failed to add the prestressed concrete cylinder pipe was worth
the savings to pass on to the City of Elgin.
Councilwoman Shales: You feel that the ductile iron and the
concrete pipe -are equal in durability and strength.
Mr. Brenner: That is correct. We say in equal material in
our case we supply a completely different type of structure
than ductile iron, but it acts as a carrier pipe to deliver
water, or any other kind of medium to a particular system.
Councilwoman Shales: What about when the concrete pipe is
cut, are you able to cut it.
Mr. Brenner: The contractor does not have to cut the prestressed
concrete pipe. We provide a piece description of a project from
beginning to end. The contractor does nothing in the field. We
give him a completely engineered product.
Roderick O'Conner, representing Claw Pipe Company: As you get
into larger sizes of pipe you need a means of transportation.
The difference referred to, as reflected in the bid, there
was a difference of $40,000 between ductile iron pipe and
concrete. Ductile iron pipe was $40,000 more expensive. The
contractor only reflected $25,000 of that because he recognized
the problems of putting ductile iron pipe in. I don't refute
VOLUME XLVIFI
the point that the gentlemen make about the installation of
concrete pipe, they do an excellent job of putting it together
and they send it out like an erector set. In the case of the
ductline pipe - -- before I go into that. After the contractor
has left you people are going to have to live with the pipe
that has been installed. Now, as it has been installed, you
have to make cuts in it, you have to make side cuts, you may
have to make provisions for future extensions of the main.
The big difference in the two pipes, which has not been
brought out, you are just going to get more water with the
ductile pipe. The hole in the pipe is bigger with iron as
compared to concrete.
We have talked with the people in your municipality that are
directly connected with making this choice, the problem of
maintaining it and apparently they do believe what we have
told them. In the case of ductline pipe we have hundreds
of cases with over a hundred years of service so the question
of long life with cast iron pipe, which is ductline pipe,, is
not questioned and concrete has a long way to go before they
can approach that reputation.
499
Mel Dahl: I am not going to respond to their remarks. I am
going to tell you why I recommended the ductile. our experience
is nil on concrete pipe. The concrete pipe that we have is in
the new water treatment plant and we anticipate no taping of
that line at all.
The engineering we did out in the field is not to clockwork
dimensions, I mean it is not that type. The contractor
himself is going to have to do a lot of measuring and he is
going to have to order those pieces as he goes.
I am concerned about what we are going to afterwards. We
have no experience with concrete pipe and we do have considerable
experience with ductile iron and with cast iron. In the past
five or six years we have specified nothing but ductile iron.
Councilman Hansen: 1 am going to stick with the staff's
recommendation. I like the ductile iron pipe and I am going
to vote for it.
Mayor Verbic, If there are no further questions of the Council,
will the Clerk call for the vote.
Yeas: Councilmen Andersen, Hansen, Shales, Waters and Mayor
Verbic. Nays: None.
BID FOR EXTERIOR RESTORATION OF THE
NEIGHBORHOOD HOUSING SERVICE OFFICE

TION OF PUBLIC HEARING ON PETITIO
Leo Nelson: A revised annexation agreement was submitted today
and will be distributed to the Council tonight, but said
agreement does not detail costs to the city for the proposed
project.
Mayor Verbic: We should continue this matter until there is
a full Council present in order to comply with the petitioners'
request.
Attorney Jentsch: I suggest that you continue it to the next
regular meeting.
Mayor Verbic; I would like a motion to continue this matter
to the next regular scheduled meeting, which will be November
28th.

only have four Council members present and that is one of the
issues you have to deal with, are you going to meet on the 28th.
That is why the Corporation Counsel suggested that your motion
be at the next regular meeting, which may be the 28th or another
date.

Thomas Glowacki, Plant Manager; Our plans are for growth, to
make Greyline a larger corporation, to employee more.individuals,
to be a prosperous corporation.
Mayor Verbic; That is exactly what we wanted to hear because we
are interested in the growth and that is why industrial revenue
bonds are made so readily available by the City of Elgin.
Councilman Hansen: I presume that you will be adding on to your
facility.
Mr. Glowacki: Well, the intention first of all is to get the
internal mechanisms, the new equipment, the modernization of the
plant, and absolutely the addition of a 32,000 square foot facility,
but that is at a later date.
Councilman Waters: I had the pleasure of touring Greyline and Tom
was gracious enough to explain the plans that he has that are
involved in this bond issue. It is an exciting proposal for
modernization and I think it will be a real boom to their industry
and to our community in turn'.

REPORTS RECEIVED AND ORDERED PLACED ON FILE
Councilman Hansen I have one question. l think we seem to be
seeing a rising water delinquency, not only in dollar amounts,
but just in percentage of delinquent customers, and if I am
reading this report correctly, we have 2600 delinquent bills
out of 8900 regular bills,
Jim Bolerjack: I think we are sending out more delinquent bills
but that doesn't mean they don't pay the bill, I don't think that
the overall number has increased that much in other words the
individual who was delinquent last month may not be delinquent
this month;
Councilman Hansen: If you compare it to a year ago it is a
substantially larger nunber of delinquent bills„ In 1982 we had
1800 delinquent bills, 8600 regular bills and now this year we
have 2600 delinquent bills and 8900 regular bills, which is a
much larger percentage.
Mayor Verbic: I think that can be answered on the basis of the
economy for the last two -half years. A lot of people who have
lost their jobs have not been recalled at this particular point,
A lot of people who have been unemployed have been living on
unemployment compensation. A lot of this has run out and one
of the things which are usually left unpaid are utility bills.
As the economy improves and a lot of these people who are
unemployed return to work you will see that this figure should
lessen as time goes on, but that is my own evaluation of this,

Jim Bolerjack: We do put a lien on the property and then try

Mayor Verbic: We need to make a decision in regards to our
next meeting. The next regular scheduled meeting is on
November 28th, but there will be three members absent.
In regards to the annexation agreement for the Airport property
we will receive the agreement tonight, but apparently Mr.
Burnidge has informed Mr. Nelson that December 5th would be
alright, which is the following Monday, and we could then,
have a'full Council present. Corporation Counsel, could we
move the November 28th meeting to December 5th.
Counsel Jentsch: You can schedule the regular meeting of
November 28th to December 5th, The draft of the annexation
agreement that you referred to is not necessarily the applicant's
final proposal. It is a proposal prepared locally which has to
be reviewed by others who may ulti -mately develop the property,
and we don't know when that review would be completed. So don't
read that particular version with the view that is the one the
City is expected to respond to. There may be other revisions
that I can't suggest to you because there are third.parties
involved that we are not dealing with directly.
Mayor Verbic: Under those circumstances we would probably
receive another annexation agreement before the 5th.
Counsel Jentsch: I sure there will be another version or
revision of the existing one. I have read the current one
and I know it is not the final proposal so we have not
responded yet.

BID AWARDED FOR CONSTRUCTION OF FIRE
STATION
Councilman Gilliam: I will make a motion that we go with the
original bid, plus the building of the unfinished' basement and
I don't have the total figures on that.
Mayor Verbic: $923,932.60.
Councilwoman Shales: I will second that motion.
Mayor Verbic: We have a motion and second for the construction
of the new fire station #1 and that it be awarded to the low
bidder, Irving Construction Company, for a total amount of
$923,932.60.
Councilman Hansen: I would like the record to show that I am
opposed to the block construction and prefer brick construction
as we debated this in the Committee of the Whole Meeting, for
reasons of quality.
Councilman Andersen: I would like to go on record as being
opposed to the construction of this fire station at all. The
plans and negotiations for a new fire station were well advanced
when I was elected to this Council. I had some personal reser-
vations about the site selected and purchased, but assumed that
the staff had sone extensive research, and that all was well. My
earlier concern that this land was marginal at best, has been
confirmed. My recollection that portions of this site was used
as a dumping ground has been recalled by at least one other city
official.
The extensive and expensive amounts of excavation and fill which
add nearly a quarter million to this project convenience me that
this site should be abandoned, and we should not continue to
compound an error.
VOLUME XLVIII 517
Further, I do not buy the statement that this project will cut
down on overtime. Elgin will continue to grow and in the
future more fire personnel will be needed rather than less.
Additionally, removel of all fire apparatus from the No. 1
fire district, and placing it an additional 212 minutes further
away, is a distinct jeopardy to the health, safety and welfare
of Elgin citizens. An additional 2 or more minutes to serve
the homes and hospital in the northeast section of Elgin,
places those citizens and homes in those areas at a distinct
disadvantage.
If an additional 2 minutes is of no consequence then all the
arguments for sprinkler systems and smoke detectors, have no
validity.
Were this project to change our fire rating from 4 to 3 it
would have some merit, but this is not the case, and in fact
could jeopardize our 4 rating.
To vacate the present fire department area in City Hall to
supposedly create room for the new communications center, is
a sudden change from the previous plan to locate the center in
the seldom used civil defense center. I wonder if this whole
project is just a ploy to separate the Police and Fire
Departments and their administrations as far apart as possible.
The citizen comment that 1 have received so far would indicate
that we haven't sold the citizens on this idea either.
Councilman Gilliam: I would not want to dissect the letter
that Mr. Andersen read for the sake of time, but I think
there is one serious accusation that I would like to have
the Chief respond to and that is if we build this fire
station that our fire rating will go down or is in jeopardy.
Councilman Andersen: I did not say that it would go down, but
it could be in jeopardy.
Councilman Gilliam: I would like to the Chief to respond because
I think that is a pretty serious statement.
Councilman Andersen: The Chief is not in a position to make
that statement, the Underwriting Board is the one that makes
that decision.
Councilman Gilliam: He is as qualified as you are.
Councilman Andersen: That's right and neither one of us are.
518 VOLUME XLVIII
Chief Van De Voorde, If you would like I will try to answer
the question. The first people that we visited as a part of
our study, as an economy move to cut overtime costs, and whether
you believe it or not it will be cut, as long as I am here. The
first people we talked to were the insurance underwriters and
we went in there with our plan, which I would like some day to
explain to you Councilman Andersen, I have not had the opportunity
yet, but they assured us that it would not jeopardize our fire
rating at all and further I would like to say. that ISO, which
are the insurance underwriters, are going to stop the classifi-
cation of number one fire zone downtown anyway.
I have tried to point out that Elgin has many high value districts.
am not to sure that the Gromer Shopping District wouldn't
be considered one. Certainly out on Summit Street where we will
be much closer to will be one, and as far as the soil conditions
are, we did take soil borings on the property and the reason
that the dirt is being brought in is not because of the soil
conditions, it is to raise it up to the level of the streets.
I would be happy to go over the whole plan with you at our
convenience and listen to all of your concerns, but the concern
of downtown, I think we also have to be concerned about the
folks out in Parkwood. In this new location we will save money
and it will give better protection to some of those people.
Admittedly, it will not give the level of protection to the
downtown that it presently gets, although studies find that
it is more convenient to come into a downtown district than
to try to leave from one because of the conjestion.
We did undertake this and we presented it to the Council and
to many various groups within the City, the North End businessmen
who were vitally concerned with it and we got their almost
complete endorsement of the plan. We would not have proceeded
unless this Council had agreed to it and told us to proceed.
Councilman Andersen; Thank you George. I would agree with
your statement that the prior Council had approved it, I am
just voicing my opinion, I will live with my statement, I
hope that you can live with yours.
Chief Van De Voorde: My statement I will live with and I think
Elgin will grow and we will add men and we will add stations,
we are talking about today's Elgin, but if we build a new
station some day it won't be building station #6, it will be
building station #5.
Mayor Verbic: Is there any other discussion. If not, I will
call for a vote.

Verbic. Nays: Councilman Hansen. Present: Councilman Andersen.

CONTINUATION OF PUBLIC HEARING ON
PETITION 31-83 REQUESTING ANNEXATION,
B-3 SERVICE BUSINESS DISTRICT, AND
M-2 GENERAL MANUFACTURING DISTRICT
ZONING - ELGIN AIRPORT PROPERTY
Roger Dahlstrom: The petitioner has asked me to request a
continuance of this hearing to another date.
Councilman Waters made a motion, seconded by Councilwoman
Shales, to continue the aforementioned matter to the next
regular scheduled meeting. Yeas: Councilmen Andersen,

PETITION 38 -83 REQUESTING A REZONING
FROM R -2 _SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCE
DISTRI.CT.TO B-3 SERVICE BUSINESS
DISTRICT PROPERTY— LOCATED AT 305
SOUTH CLIFTON AVE, DENIED
Roger Dahlstrom: The petitioners have operated a plumbing
contractor's establishment on the 'premises for over 25 years.
The property was annexed to the City and zoned R -2 Single Family
Residence District in 1963, rendering the contractor's establish-
ment a lawful non - conforming use. As a non - conforming use the
plumbing contractor's establishment may continue indefinitely,
subject to the requirements of Chapter 19.46 of the Elgin
Municipal Code, which regulates such uses. In general the
plumbing contractor's establishment cannot expand as a non-
conforming use.
The subject property is approximately 13,200 square feet and is
imroved with two masonry structures. The subject property is
located west of a neighborhood commercial area zoned B -1. The
areas located north, west and south of the subject property are
zoned R -2 and are developed with single family residences.
At its regular meeting of November 7, 1983, the Land Use Committee
recommended the denial of the proposed rezoning by a vote of 6 yes
and 1 no.
Attorney Willard Widerberg: I represent Ralph and Louise Day and
they own the property at 305 S. Clifton Avenue, which we seek to
have rezoned from R -2 to B -3. Mr. Day has operated a plumbing
establishment out of these premises since 1957 and this property
was annexed into the City in 1963. It is our belief that the Days
should not be punished because they did not come and present their
petition for rezoning in 1963, when they were annexed into the City,
through no fault of their own.
We are petitioning for the rezoning at this time because Mr. Day
is ill and part of those rules on legal non - conforming use indicate
that if Mr. Day should cease operating a plumbing establishment at
these premises, we could conceivably lose our non - conforming use,
520 VOLUME XLVIII
if a specific period of time passes and I, believe the period
of time is six months.
There is also the possibility that if we cannot get the
necessary Bm3 zoning so we can continue to protect the economical
value of this property, that Mrs. Day could be put in a position
to be forced to sell the premises just to protect the economic
value of the property, or she could be forced into a quick sale
of the premises.
Ruth Strofsner, 283 S. Clifton: Did you say that they are still
in business.
Attorney Widerberg: I not only said they were still in business,
they are still in business.
Ruth Strofsner: Will you show me a business phone number in this
telephone book for Ralph Day.
Attorney Widerberg: There is no question that due to Mr. Day's
physical condition he is not soliciting any new customers. We
have accountants and we do continue to operate the business.
Ruth Strofsner: If they still are in business there is no phone
number in the black or yellow pages.
Attorney Widerberg: Mrs. Day tells me that although what I
represented to the Council is basically true it happens that
the Day's advertisement was deleted in error by the phone
company and they had requested that it be put in.
Councilman Gilliam: What are the other uses for B -3.
Roger Dahlstrom: Where would you like me to start. Auction rooms,
automobile accessory stores, blue printing , photocopy, catering,
clubs lodges, etc.
Councilwoman Shales, There was some question at the Land Use
Commission's meeting since apparently the Days have been nearly
out of busAness, if not out of business, would this legal non-
conforming use be able to continue, could they sell the property
as a contractor's and remain legal non - conforming, even though
they apparently have not been using it.
Counsel Jentsch: You could sell it to someone else to continue
the use. The test that the ordinance applies is 180 days of
abandonment of use.
Councilwoman Shales: So it could be sold now and continue with
it's legal non-conforming use even after it is sold. Therefore,
I will vote against this. I believe they are protected, they
will be able to continue their legal non- conforming use. I
think the B -3 District opens up a can of worms for that neighborhood
that I would not like to see opened up.
VOLUME XLVIII
521
George Lueck, 314 S. Clifton: The thing that disturbs us is not
continuation as a contractor's shop, but the fact that it opens
up a can of worms as the young lady was saying. A Taco Bell or
anything else can go in there once it is zoned a B -3.
Councilman Hansen: If the premises remained unoccupied for one
year, but no other establishment was started there and it was
then sold to a contractor as a contractor's whatever, in your
opinion that would be a conforming use.
Counsel Jentsch: During that one year if there were active
efforts to sell it I don't think the non- forming use would be
lost.
Councilman Andersen: I hes >i!tate to pull the rug out from under
anybody who is faced with this situation which is not of his own
making. He didn't ask to be brought into the City without that
zoning change at that time and he certainly could have asked for
it and now it looks like he is being penalized. I certainly
don't want to see him lose his years of hard work, However, I
do believe we have had an opinion that his interest will be
safeguarded and reluctantly I would have to go along with the
decision of the Land Use Committee and Zoning Board,
Councilman Hansen, The reason that I asked that is hopefully
after many years of hard work Mr. Day might want to spend all
or a good share of his time in the sunny climate now, and his
premises could be unoccupied and I would not want him to lose
his grandfather clause.
Councilman Waters made a motion, seconded by Councilman Gilliam,
to deny Petition 38 -83. Yeas: Councilmen Andersen, Gilliam,
Hansen, Schmidt, Shales, Waters and Mayor Verbic. Nays: None.
PETITION 37-83 REQUESTING A REZONING
FROM R -3 TWO FAMILY RESIDENCE DISTRICT
TO B SERVICE BUSINESS DISTRICT AT
TT9T`NffTT1 S. LIBERTY ST. -- DENIED
Roger Dahlstrom: The petitioner is the owner /operator of Les
Jones Automotive and desires to expand his automobile service
and repair business onto the subject property and onto the
property located at 143 S. Liberty. The property at 143 S.
Liberty is already zoned B -3 and is improved wi -th a °:two, ,-family
residence. The petitioner proposes to demolish the two family
residence to provide spaces for forty by eighty foot building
and additional off- street parking.
The subject property is a regularly shaped lot of approximately
3200 square feet. It is undeveloped and there is a grade change
of approximately 10 feet from the Liberty Street right -of -way
on the west and the adjacent property on the north of the subject
property.
With the exception of Mr. Jones' property the immediate area is
zoned for R -2 and R -3 uses.
522
At its regular meeting of November
Commission recommended rezoning ap
I no and 1 present. Objectors did
time and Mr. Jones is here tonight
of him.
VOLUME XLVIII
7, 1983, the Land Use
3roval by a vote of 5 yes,
appear and testify at that
if you have any questions
Councilman Gilliam: I see something very similar. One place
the staff and Land Use Commission are saying that they want
to vote it down and on the other side they want to support it.
Both of them are residential neighborhoods and there are more
business uses in Mr. Day's area than there are on Liberty St.
Roger Dahlstrom: I would like to point out that if this were
a request by Mr. Jones for rezoning of a non - conforming use,
such as Mr. Day, a non- conforming use that would have been a
new spot zoned, which Mr. Jones' property is, our recommendation
would have been for denial.
Councilman Gilliam_, But what you are saying is that you are
encouraging expans`oon of spot zoning, is that what you are
saying.
Roger Dahlstrom, The question wasn't put to us as to whether
or not that zoning should have been there to start with.
Councilman Gilliam: You have admitted that it is spot zoning,
you have admitted that all the houses around there are residential,(„
and I am saying that by this recommendation the Committee is
saying that we encouraged spot zoning to go there by the fact
that they approved, or the staff has recommended approval of
this.
Roger Dahlstrom: If you will look at the drawing of the area,
what we have is a situation where most of the property that
Mr. Jones owns, by enlarge all of it except for this small
piece, is presently zoned B-3 and is useable by Mr. Jones
for any eligible uses under B -3, so his ability to expand at
this site already exists because of the amount of property that
he owns.
The building that Mr. Jones operates is not suitable for any
other purpose, it was built originally as a service station,
or garage. it has existed at that location for a long time
in that form of use.
The subject property in this petition is a very small piece
that just forms a regular zoning boundary at this B-3 location.
The purpose of a non - conforming use is the assumption that some
day it will disappear through some means, either through destruc-
tion, lack of use, or some discontinuation of use for some
purpose. Again, if this existed at present as a non - conforming
use, inconsistent with the zoning classification, our
VOLUME XLVIII 523
recommendation would have been for denial. In this instance we
felt that due to the unusal topographical situation that additional
use by Mr. Jones at this location would not have any additional
impact on the neighborhood because it is ten feet below the grade
level;
He does have the right and ability - to demolish the home at 143
because he does own that and it is presently zoned B -3. Frankly
this was a real close one on our part as the staff. It was a
tough decision, but our feeling was that a viable business use
at this location reinforced to this very small extent to remain
viable probably serves the neighborhood and the city better than
what might become a marginal use simply because it would not fit
Mr. Jones' need.
Councilman Andersen: Frankly, I think we are trying to correct a
mistake that was made some twenty years ago in zoning that duplex
next to it B -3 then, and that was a grave error as far as I am
concerned. Now you want to further compound it by jumping over
another lot.
The traffic count that I get is that on Lillian Street there are
11,000 cars a day, on Liberty Street there is 25,000. Now how
can you deny one petition where there less than half as many cars
and approve the other one.
Les Jones, 147 S. Liberty St.: To clarify our situation here
first of all in 1970 when I purchased the property from Haumiller,
Haumiller built the building in 1926, 1 have run the business since
1971. 1 petitioned for rezoning in January of 1972. My reason
for rezoning then, and I would like to say right now that I was
unanimously turned down by the Planning and Zoning Board back in
1972, and I was reversed in Council because I specifically was
trying to cover my investment in 1971, when I purchased the
building.
My understanding when I bought it was very clear to me and at the
time the corporate counsel of Elgin even questioned my reason,
but I explained my reason and the City Council did approve it.
The reason that I am asking for it now, because whether 1 get
this zoning or not I still under the City requirements can build
a building down there. I don't have any direct plans right now,
but if I want to build a building on my B -3 property, which I
have there I can do it under City requirements.
The property which I am trying to rezone is forty feet frontage
on Liberty Street by 78 feet deep. , It is not rebuildable and
cannot build a building on that piece of property so under the
circumstances, I can't use it as a parking lot, if you look at
the property from the street it virtually starts dropping off,
so it is an unbuildable piece of property that I have.
Whether or not you ok this I can still build within city
requirements so it is not a big factor other than the fact that
the property would be compatible with all the B -3 and is not
even close to what Ralph Day's situation is as far as trying to
rezone a piece of property.
524
VOLUME XLVIII
Councilman Gilliam: You stated that you talked to staff and that
you couldn't build on it, then why are you rezoning it if you
can't build on it.
Les Jones: The city requirements require more square footage to
build single residence on there, this is to make it compatible
with the property that is already B -3 surrounding it on the south
79 feet and the east 40 feet. To square off a piece of property
that I own.
Donald Schaaf, 112 S. Liberty: I appear before you tonight not
only as a neighbor opposing the proposed zoning, but also as
spokesman for property pwners within the block in which this
zoning request is located. We are asking you to seriously asking
you to consider this request and we further ask you no to let
it take place. I have a petition signed which is representative
of all the property owners within the block and I would like
permission to give this petition to the Council.
Our opposition to this proposed change in zoning stems from our
belief that a serious mistake was made in February, 1972. This
was the date that the then City Council saw fit to grant a B -3
zoning change for the property located at 147 and 143 S. Liberty.
They did this over the recommendation for denial from the Plan
Commission and Zoning Board of Appeals. We regard this as a
clear cut case of spot zoning and now you are being asked to
commit a second mistake and extend this business zoning classi-
fication to yet a third lot.
No where else in our block is there another piece of property
zoned business, we are a residential neighborhood. In fact
Liberty Street going from the American Legion home on Chester
all the way south down to Hammond Avenue there is not another
business zoned property on Liberty Street, except what was
rezoned back in 1972.
You may ask where the neighbors were in 1972 when this rezoning
took place. I can assure you we were in the dark. We were
totally unaware that the property at 147 and 143 had been indeed
rezoned in 1972. This came to our attention only at the Planning
and Land Use Commission meeting of November 7th of this year.
Needless to,say we were totally shocked. I have lived in this
neighborhood all my life and I was under the belief that this
was nonconforming use at 147,and 143 was a residence.
At the Commission hearing Renard Jackson informed the Commission
that this zoning change is not compatible with the Just completed
comprehensive plan. As property owners we feel this expansion
must be stopped before Liberty Street becomes another business
strip. We the property owners of South Liberty Street do
respectfully ask you Council members to give this request your
thoughtful consideration and ask you to deny the petitioner's
request.
VOLUME XLVIII
525
Councilwoman Shales, I agree with Mr. Schaaf that probably a
mistake was made in 1972, but I can't do anything about that.
There is B -3 zoning there now and I cannot see how this one
little piece of land zoned B -3 could make much difference or
change anything in that neighborhood.
Councilman Hansen: What was the zoning on the 147 and 143
property.
Roger Dahlstrom: Well, I believe the whole area was zoned
R -3.
Councilman Hansen: So essentially we have had a business
located there since 1926 that was a non - conforming use.,
until 1972, and from 72 on it has been legally zoned.
Councilman Waters made a motion, seconded by Councilwoman
Shales to approve Petition 37 -83. Yeas: Councilmen Shales,

PETITION 35 -83 REOUESTING AN A
Roger Dahlstrom: The Century Oaks Manor Homes planned unit _
development was approved by the City Council in June, 1980.
It features 152 townhouse condominiums contained within twenty
structures to be developed over three phases. Phase 1 of the
project has been completed and Phase 2 is under construction.
Petitioner desires to vacate the phase 3 portion of the approved
plan unit development, replace the approved 32 townhouse units
contained within 4 eight unit structures with a proposed total
of 28 townbouses. We are changing from 4 eight unit structures
to 2 unit structures. It is our view that this is simply a
marketing consideration, it actually serves to bring down the
total number of units and therefore the overall density in the
development.
The site plan has been approved with certain conditions and at
its regular meeting of November 7th, the Land Use Commission
recommended the approval of an amendment to planned unit
development Ordinance No. G46 -80, the preliminary plan and
final plat approval, subject-to certain conditions by a vote
of 6 yes and 0 no.

PARTICIPATION IN AN EMPLOYEE

Councilwoman Shales made a motion to adopt the aforementioned
resolution.
Councilman Gilliam: I will second that motion to get it on the
floor, but that does not mean that I support this.
Mayor Verbic: This has been discussed and approved in the Committee
of the Whole Meeting, and the total amount of money involved is
$5800.00.
Councilman Hansen: This program was initially started last year
under a State Grant, so we started it using free money and then
continue them with our taxpayers money. I have some concerns
because there is really no way that we can demand any accountability
on this program, or really monitor it, at least not to my satisfaction,
The goals and aims of the program are just fine, but we have a lot
of social agencies in the community that are supported county -wide
that would provide these kind of services, so I am going to vote
against it.
Councilwoman Shales: I think that the reason it passed through
the Committee of the Whole Meeting was the feeling that perhaps
one more year needed to pass before we could make a judgement on
whether this program was worthwhile or not.

COUNCIL - MANAGER FORM OF GOVERNMENT
REGULAR MEETING
A regular meeting of the Council of the City of Elgin, Illinois,
was held on December 12, 1983, at 8:30 p.m., in the Council
Chambers of City Hall. The meeting was called to order by
Mayor Verbic. The Invocation was given by Reverend Harold
Humbert of the Elgin Mental Health Center, and the Pledge of
Allegiance was led by Cindy Linardos of Centel Television.
ROLL CALL
Roll call was answered by Councilmen Andersen, Gilliam, Hansen,
Schmidt, Shales, Waters and Mayor Verbic. Absent: None.
Also present: City Manager Leo Nelson, Corporation Counsel
Erwin Jentsch, City Clerk Marie Yearman, and members of staff.
COMMUNICATIONS
Correspondence received from L. A. Goldschmidt Associates
relative to the purchase of the property behind Fire Station
on Big Timber Road, which is owned by the City of Elgin.
Councilman Waters: We also received tonight a memorandum from
Chief Van De Voorde, and I don't know if this is the appropriate
time to say it, but I think the Council should be on record
commending the City Staff for their support of the United Way
Campaign this year. I think they have done an extremely
commendable job in their - solicitation and support this year.
Mayor Verbic: Mr. Goldschmidt, do you have anything to add to
your letter which you have addressed to the Council.
Leo Goldschmidt: Nothing specific except to answer any questions
you might have. Also I have talked to Art Funk, who is a resident
and homeowner on Morningside Drive and in the past has been a
spokesman for the people who live on Morningside Drive and he
said he would see to it there would be no objection to the
proposal as I have outlined it.
Leo Nelson- As I read Mr. Goldschmidt's letter and in conver-
sations that I have had with him, I think that what he is really
asking you to do is to change your method of disposing of surplus
property by negotiating with him directly rather than to follow
the State law, which as you know is to advertise the land for
sealed bids.
Leo, am I correct about that, isn't this what you are really
asking,
Leo Goldschmidt: That would be the preferred, my preferred
manner of proceeding. Another way might be to ask for bids,
but consider not only the offered price, but also the
development proposal for the property.
541
VOLUME XLVIII
Mayor Verbic: I don't think that when we accept sealed bids
there is anything else which would be.included in that, outside
the bid for the property.
Leo Nelson: Well normally we just sell the property, but your
other problem as I understand your development Mr. Goldschmidt,
it involves a clustering of twelve single family residences on
a piece of property that's about 4.73 acres, which is over the
density of R-1. I don't think you can sell it on that basis
because you would still have to go through the hearing to change
that zoning from R -1 to whatever, R -2, PUD, whatever it happened
to be, so I don't think you can sell it on that basis.
Mayor Verbic: As I remember'par°t of the property is unbuildab'le.
Counsel ,lentsch I am sure you have read this letter and what
would be your suggestion at this point.
Counsel Jentsch: I think you have to make a basic decision as,;
to how you want to invite proposals. As a Home Rule Unit you
could negotiate with Mr. Goldschmidt and ignore the State
procedure, which is sealed bids, you could do something as
Mr. Goldschmidt suggested, soliciting bids and plans for
development, but you have to make the determination of what
route you want to take. Historically it has been simply sold
to the high bidder by sealed bid.
Leo•Nelson: I think too, and you are aware of it, we have all
received a letter from one party who is interested, other than
Mr. Goldschmidt. I think I have informed you that I have
talked to one person and I have now talked to two people who
have expressed an interest in this land so I don't -`want you
to think there are no other interested parties. I think they
are concerned about what kind of a development is going to take
place there and that has triggered their interest, -I get the
feeling they might to interested in buying the property in order
to control it, and I suggested to Leo that maybe the best thing
to do is talk to the people, especially on Morning ide. because
that is where the interest is coming from, they are concerned
about how that land may be developed.
Councilwoman Shales: It seems that if we put it up for bid
under it's R -1 zoning that whoever bid on it would understand
if they were going to develop in any way that needed a different
kind of - zoning, they would have to appear before us with their
plan, and I think that is the only way we can safeguard what is
happening in that area, is to put it out for bids, I think we
could get into a can of worms the other way, if we try to ask
for plans and then judge one plan or another.
Mayor Verbic: I see your point, this is R -1 at the present
time. So under the circumstances Mr. Goldschmidt you would
still have to come in to get it rezoned to R -2, so the
developed plan that you submit with you bid would not actually
be a factor because the fair way - would. -.be as 'Mrs.- ,Shades has
suggested.
VOLUME XLVIII 542
Councilman Hansen: My biggest concern regarding this property
is that we protect the neighboring property owners. I presume
that we acquired this property by condemnation or threat of it,
and I think we have a responsibility to the neighbors that
might even go beyond the letter of the law. I think the spirit
of our previous procedures. I think they have a very important
stake in this and I don't know if it is legally possible or
advisable, but I would almost hike to see our staff people
°have a little informal meeting with the neighbors and see if
'hey.eould -get a concensus from the neighbors as to what kind
of development they would like to see out there.
One of the things I do know is that Mr. Goldschmidt has a
proven track record with those nelgiibors out there and he sold
them on that track record with his Tyler Bluff development. I
would like to make maybe a little exception if we can and get
some neighbor imput on how they feel about it. I think our
staff should be prepared to present to them alternative uses
under the various zonings and PUB 'concepts that we would or
could permit.
Councilman. Gilliam: Why don't we treat this just like we
would any other piece of property that we own, put the thing
up for bid. Why are we making all the rules, adjustments,
put it on the market, let free enterprise work, the highest
bidder gets it. They still have to come back to us anyway.
Mayor Verbic: I would agree that we go ahead an put this
under sealed bid.
Councilman Gilliam 'made a motion, seconded by Councilman
Andersen, that the approximate 4.7 acres on Big Timber Road
behind the Fire Department, be advertised for sale to the
highest bidder. Yeas: Councilmen Andersen, Gilliam, Hansen,

with this airport rezoning it was rush, rush and time was of
essence and now all of a sadden we are postponing it from one
meeting to another. What is the object of this.
Leo Nelson: There is nothing we can do and I appreciate your
frustration, we are equally frustrated,.
Roger Dahlstrom: It is just a matter that there is a multi -party
agreement that is being worked out on this annexation agreement
and involves developers, owners of property, potential utlimate
users and it is a very complex procedure which is taking a long
time, and I think they under estimated the amount of time it
would take,
Councilman Schmidt: I think it proves just one thing and that is
don't let architects push the Council.'

Waters and Mayor Verbic. Nays: None.
VOLUME XLVIII
Roger Dahlstrom: The petitioner desires to lease a portion of
his premises for the purpose of establishing an auction room
while continuing to lease space for storage use. Auction rooms
and storage are permitted uses in the B -4 district.
The subject property is approximately 44,616 square feet and is
improved with a masonry building. The areas to the north and
east of the subject property are zoned B -4, and the areas south
and west of the subject property are part of the civic center
complex.
At its regular meeting of November 21, 1983, the Land Use
Committee recommended approval of the requested rezoning by a
vote of 6-.'-yes and 0 no.
544
Councilman Hansen: I am certainly in favor of this rezoning -,
but 1 think it might point up a case where one of the proposals
that`the ^staff has talked about, but has never really implemented,
the mixed use the zoning might have applied,.because I think you
are still going to have some manufacturing' activities in there.
My point would be if
now we have an M use

Mayor Verbic, The topographic survey, taken from Sidwell Aerial
photographs, is incorrect in that it shows the ground to be 2 feet
higher than it actually is in the field. Also, the original soil
borings for the proposed gravel mining operation indicated a
topsoil depth of 3 feet. The actual average depth of topsoil is
1 foot. Both of these factors make the original contract quantities
too low to handle the earth work necessary to complete the work.

apparently those aerial photos were flown back in 1973 or 1974.
Gary Miller: There have been occasions on projects throughout
the city where we have experienced discrepancies on aerial
photographs, it just so happens that in this area there was
a 2 foot discrepancy, but it has happened in other projects
and is not unusal.
The soil borings was done as a part of the gravel mining operation
and we were not really involved.
Councilman Hansen: My question was did the outfit from Canada
do the soil borings.
Gary Miller; No, it was a sub- contractor, a testing outfit and
I don't remember the name of the testing outfit and he did this
work for the consultant.
Councilman :.Schmidt: What is the alternative to this if this
should not pass. Do you think it is about time that we negotiate
with some of these mistakes.
Leo Nelson: Well you can't hold the people who designed it and
the contractor, they are not responsible for it. Either we are
going to get the ball diamonds built correctly or we are going
to have a problem with the elevations.
You might go back to the people who did the soil borings or the
people who did the aerial photos, but not the people ve are
dealing with on this change order,
Councilman Schmidt. What recourse do we have on something like
this.
Counsel Jentsch: I am not prepared to tell you thls. evening
without reviewing what:ha &e ned." I don't have an independent
recollection of when that contract was:let or who it was with
and I will have to look at those things first. We can review
it to determine if there is any avenue of recovery available.
Councilman Andersen: I can't see where we can hold these people
up, they have ,a legitimate request here for the additional money.
Because somebody else fouled up the situation it is no fault of
theirs, but we have had some mighty bad work in the past that
we have never been able to come back on. I get sick of these
constant change orders and constant revisions of everything
because somebody else in the past dropped the ball.

Councilman Hansen: I share Councilmen Schmidt's and Andersen's
concern and 'I have for a long time. We have to find the key
to demand and expect and receive accountability from consultants
and people who deliver outside services to us. This is one
of the reasons that I pushed so long to pursue the resurfacing
problem with the Spiess deck. We spent $265,000 on that deck
for basically a lack of accountability somewhere along the
line. So I share their concerns, but on the other hand these
people have a legitimate claim so I would propose that we
maybe pursue this guy one more time per Councidman Schmidt's
suggestion and see who really did screw up here.
Mayor Verbic: Did they come to you with the error before the
work was completed.
Claude Rogers: The error was uncovered before the contractor
executed too much of his work. We felt to go into a complete
redesign at that point would jeopardize the project. We felt
at that point in time that we could achieve a balance of
materials on the site within the parameters that this project
called for. However, as the work progressed we did not
achieve a b &,lance of the earthwork.on the ballfields.
Mayor Verbic: I can understand the frustration of the Council
when you look at these contracts when It is always; an add
order and they wonder why because it is very seldom they are
on the downside its always on the upside and I don't blame them
for questioning this because it is a big change order. The
error is not to the City's benefit, its a taxpayers loss.
Councilman Waters: May I suggest that we go ahead and vote on
this motion and then if the Councilmen have a motion to make
to direct the staff it would be appropriate to do that after
this motion has cleared.
Yeas: Councilmen Andersen, Gi "lliam, Hansen, Shales, Waters and
Mayor Verbic. Nays: Councilman Schmidt.
Councilman Schmidt: I would like to make a motion at this time
to have Corporation Counsel investigate to see what recourse
the City would have with this error.
Councilman Hansen: I -will second the motion.
Yeas: Councilmen Andersen, Gilliam, Hansen, Schmidt, Shales,
Waters and Mayor Verbic. Nays: None.
