Water and Sewer rate increases were decreased from 9 percent to 7 percent for 2010
The projected revenue from property tax was increased based on the information
provided by Kane County regarding the equalized assessed valuation decreasing to -1%
Projected savings of $462,210 from the Auto Mall project in the Riverboat Fund have
been reallocated to provide additional funding for existing projects
1. Sustainable Community Initiatives increased to $150,000
2. Property Acquisition was increased $311,500

David Bear, Chairman of the Elgin Area Chamber of Commerce, spoke in favor of the proposed

this new license proposal has been a joint effort of the City, the Chamber, and the Downtown
Neighborhood Association. He then read a resolution of support that had been passed
unanimously by the Elgin Area Chamber of Commerce board.
In summary, Mr. Stegall said that, overall, the City is in excellent financial condition. Its reserves
are strong, its debt obligations are relatively low, and the Riverboat continues to provide the
resources needed to keep the community vibrant. The continuing realignment of the organization
and the difficult decisions associated with implementing those structural changes demonstrate
the City‟s resolve to take immediate, albeit difficult, action to preserve the City‟s financial
integrity. He stated that he was confident that the 2010 Budget and 2010-2014 Financial Plan
provided the vision and resources necessary to realize the vision of the future.

PUBLIC HEARING REGARDING A FIRST AMENDMENT TO THE ANNEXATION
AGREEMENT, AMENDMENTS TO THE PLANNED DISTRICT ORDINANCE, AND
AMENDMENT TO THE PRELIMINARY PLAT, FOR THE SUBDIVISION KNOWN AS
THE ELGIN WAL-MART/SAM’S CLUB SUBDIVISION; PROPERTY LOCATED AT
1000 SOUTH RANDALL ROAD; BY ATWELL-HICKS, LLC., AS APPLICANTS AND
WALMART STORES, INC., SAM’S WEST, INC., AND SAM’S REAL ESTATE
BUSINESS TRUST, AS OWNERS (PETITION 24-09)
Mayor Schock declared the public hearing open.
Sarosh Saher, Senior Planner, reviewed the petition noting that the Planning and Development
Commission had recommended approval subject to conditions. Robert Gamrath, attorney for the
petitioners, said that many of the revisions were due to changes in the branding of the company.
These included a reduction in the size of the super center, changes in building materials, and
“green” features. Other representatives reviewed the site changes while the architect highlighted
the façade changes. It was noted that this store will be state of the art.
Councilmember Steffen said that although the building looks better, he was concerned about the
roof top units. The architect said that the rooftop of Sam‟s is twenty feet higher and that every
piece of equipment will be screened and that most of the equipment is low. He noted, though,
that there are limitations to how high that screening can be.
Councilmember Kaptain said that it was an improved proposal, but that he was disappointed
there was no permeable parking area or no use of native plant materials. He would like to see
these incorporated into the plan. Mr. Gamrath said they would try to address these concerns.
Councilmember Kaptain suggested adding islands in the parking lot and clarified that he was
only asking for the permeable pavers in the low volume parking area.
VOLUME LXXIV DECEMBER 16, 2009
809
Councilmember Dunne said he was excited to see this project move forward, but was concerned
about the truck docks and their visibility to the residents to the north of the property. Mr.
Gamrath said the docks were depressed and enclosed and there would be very low noise leakage.
The trucks will not be allowed to run while parked at the docks. Councilmember Dunne asked
about an outside public address system. Mr. Gamrath said he did not believe there would be one.
Councilmember Dunne asked about allowing overnight campers and was told this is not part of
their plans.
Councilmember Steffen said he would support the use of the permeable pavers and that this
could be a showcase of Wal-Mart‟s sustainability efforts. He also asked about the speed limit
along Reserve Drive. Mr. Sarosh said that it was a private street and this would be regulated by
the association.
Councilmember Dunne said the size of the sign on Bowes Road seemed excessive. The attorney
said that the municipal code allows for three signs, but that the company was only asking for
two, but they would like a variance on that particular sign.
Councilmember Dunne stated that the wall along the north side seems stark. The architect
replied that landscaping, a wooden fence, and architectural details have been included to break it
up. Councilmember Prigge noted that this corner is an important one and that he wants to see it
done properly due to the high visibility there.
Both Councilmembers Gilliam and Warren said that they supported the use of permeable pavers.
Kenneth Bender, a nearby resident and chairman of the Civic Committee of the Edgewater
subdivision, said that his group had concerns regarding the size of the sign on Bowes Road, the
gas station location, and the possible elimination of a high end restaurant.
Marty Franks stated that he had concerns about the visibility of the loading docks, the height and
location of the west wall, landscaping on the north side of the property, the size of the signs, and
the crosswalk at Bowes Road and the entryway into Sam‟s Club.
Mr. Gamrath said that those concerns relating to the permeable pavers and the size of the signage
would be taken back to Wal-Mart.
Mayor Schock said that the ordinances allow for signs that are two hundred square feet and that
Wal-Mart is asking for a variance of two hundred sixty-eight square feet for the two signs. He
suggested that Wal-Mart reduce the sign on Bowes Road to meet the ordinance requirements.
He also noted that he had been told by staff that Wal-Mart had been very cooperative with
regards to the city‟s requests for landscaping in excess of what is required.
There being no further comments, Mayor Schock declared the public hearing closed.

PETITION 24-09 APPROVED REQUESTING APPROVAL OF A FIRST AMENDMENT
TO THE ANNEXATION AGREEMENT, AMENDMENTS TO THE PLANNED
DISTRICT ORDINANCE, AND AMENDMENT TO THE PRELIMINARY PLAT, FOR

SUBDIVISION; PROPERTY LOCATED AT 1000 SOUTH RANDALL ROAD; BY
ATWELL-HICKS, LLC., AS APPLICANTS AND WALMART STORES, INC., SAM’S
WEST, INC., AND SAM’S REAL ESTATE BUSINESS TRUST, AS OWNERS
Councilmember Kaptain made a motion, seconded by Councilmember Warren, to approve
Petition 26-09 subject to conditions, and added a fifth condition that permeable pavers be added
to the additional parking area that Wal-Mart is requesting.
Councilmember Dunne then asked that a sixth condition be added to drop the illumination of the
sign at Bowes Road during hours when the store is not in operation and to further reduce the size
of the sign by sixty-eight square feet. Councilmember Gilliam asked Mr. Gamrath if Wal-Mart
would consider this additional reduction in size. Mr. Gamrath did not feel that they would since
they were entitled to three signs, but were only asking for two.
Mayor Schock suggested that staff and Wal-Mart work to come to an agreement regarding the
sign on Bowes Road. By consensus, it was agreed that this would not be the sixth condition to
the petition.
Councilmember Dunne then said that he had concerns now about the incentive package and loss
of any leverage. He wondered why the incentive package was not being considered at this time.
Mayor Schock explained that this is commonly known as the development agreement and that no
discussions had been held about this. Corporation Counsel William Cogley said that the
development agreement is condition three and that it will be included when the entire proposal is
brought back for consideration as a final package.
Mayor Schock repeated that the motion had been made to approve Petition 24-09 with five
conditions.

given priority. Appropriate evidence includes, but is not limited to:

II. APPLICATION PROCESS
1. Contact licensed plumbers to discuss best option for property.

ORDINANCE G71-09 PASSED AMENDING TITLE 6 OF THE ELGIN MUNICIPAL
CODE, 1976, AS AMENDED, ENTITLED “BUSINESS LICENSES AND
REGULATIONS”
Councilmember Warren made a motion, seconded by Councilmember Steffen, to pass the
following ordinance.
Councilmember Kaptain asked the Corporation Counsel to clarify the suspension/revocation
portion of this amendment. Mr. Cogley stated that it would apply to public health and safety
welfare issues and to criminal matters. He also noted that there is a provision for a summary
suspension for immediate safety concerns.
Councilmember Kaptain asked if there is an adjudication process and Mr. Cogley replied that
there is except if there is an immediate threat to public safety. Mr. Cogley said that this authority
is also included in the Liquor Code, but that it has never been used.
VOLUME LXXIV DECEMBER 16, 2009
819
Councilmember Kaptain stated that he had a concern about the notification process as he felt it
had been too short. He felt the business community had not had adequate time to completely
review this. He wondered what the impact would be if this item were to be tabled until the
January 13, 2010, meeting. City Manager Stegall replied that it would leave the budget and the
city‟s partners in limbo.
Councilmember Prigge stated he is in favor of this license for enforcement purposes and to gain
the knowledge of who is doing business in the city. He also would like to have the license
applicants receive something tangible from the city.
Councilmember Prigge made a motion, seconded by Councilmember Gilliam, to amend the
proposal such that any non-profit over the size of 500,000 square feet would be expected to pay
for their license. Councilmember Dunne stated that he would be against licensing a church and
he believed that Harvest Bible Church might be larger than 500,000 square feet. It was
determined, though, that it was not.
