RECOGNIZE PERSONS PRESENT Dave Olsen stated that he did not feel the fence being proposed by the Harvest Bible Church is proper. He believed there should have been a public hearing process first. George Roach presented a petition expressing dismay that the city is allowing Harvest Bible Church to install a six foot fence between the church property and its neighbors. He believes this violates the original agreement between the church and the neighbors. Doug Klein said that he objects to the installation of the fence and would like to see the permit rescinded. Patricia Klein reviewed past history of cooperation between the church, its neighbors, and the city. Gail Olsen read a 2005 letter from Harvest Bible Church referencing the fact that the church did not want to erect a fence. She objected to the proposed fence. VOLUME LXXV DECEMBER 15, 2010 595 Jerry Cargill expressed his concerned about weeds and grass height and the noise pollution coming from the parking lot at the rear of the Harvest Bible Church property. He feels they are not being held to the established standards. Jeff Dickman, both a member of the Harvest Bible Church and a resident in the adjoining neighborhood, expressed his objections to the proposed fence. He said he was disappointed in the church because of how this situation was being handled. We would like the church to be held accountable. At this time, Corporation Counsel William Cogley was asked by Mayor Schock to explain the application process. Mr. Cogley explained his research found that fences are an accessory use, that six foot fences are allowed, and this fence permit request did meet all the requirements of the city ordinances. It was found that the plans for the church were in substantial conformance. He noted that there are provisions for minor changes and screening in the planned development ordinances and that these are allowed without a public hearing. He reviewed approximately eight hundred fence applications that covered the last eight or nine years and in no instance was a hearing required. He also reviewed Illinois law and could not find any instance where a fence has devalued property values. Mr. Cogley said that he also reached out to church officials and asked them to consider other alternatives of screening and that if they were concerned about property encroachment, there were other ways to handle this. He did not receive any commitment from them to do this. It was his opinion that the city was obligated to issue the permit. Rick Poulton, President of the Tyler Creek Watershed Coalition, asked that funds be approved for two of the four stabilization projects. Jeff Gill, President of Northeast Neighborhood Association, stated that the neighborhood did not support the proposed bike route for the area because of the following reasons: it does not connect to a primary destination the grant requires that construction follow federal guidelines including strict parking restrictions the city can designate bike paths without the restrictions of the federal guidelines the route can be constructed for less cost than that required by the grant Laurie Faith Gibson-Aiello thanked everyone involved in the recent fundraiser for local business woman, Pat Keeney. She said it raised over $8,000 and the committee is still accepting donations. BID 10-063 AWARDED TO WEST PIER LAUNDRY FOR LAUNDERING OF STAFF UNIFORMS AND LINEN Councilmember Steffen made a motion, seconded by Councilmember Kaptain, to award a two year contract to West Pier Laundry of Elgin in the amount of $60,781 for laundry services for Police Community Service Officers, Code Enforcement Officer Uniforms, and linens for Police and Fire Departments.

PUBLIC HEARING FOR THE 2011 PROPOSED CITY OF ELGIN BUDGET Mayor Schock declared the public hearing open. Colleen Lavery, Chief Financial Officer, reported that the proposed budget for 2011 is $274,363,180. She noted that the Budget establishes an appropriation for 7 Fund Types and 38 Individual Funds. As stated at the Truth in Taxation Public Hearing on December 1, 2010, the overall property tax levy is budgeted to decrease $2,248,000 from the previous year ($49.95 to $47.70 million). The reason for this is that the $1.92 tax rate is being maintained even though the overall Estimated Assessed Valuation of the City is expected to decline 3.75%. She said that since the Mayor and Council have chosen to reduce the Elgin resident’s property tax payment to the City, the shortfall created will be covered by using general fund cash reserves ($1,740,000). Ms. Lavery thanked the City Council, City Manager, Budget Team, and all of the departments for their help in developing this year’s budget. Councilmember Dunne asked if the city’s tax rate was increasing and Ms. Lavery said it was not although that of other taxing bodies might. From the audience, Laurie Faith Gibson Aiello asked if there was funding to feed the zoo animals and to cover veterinary fees. City Manger Stegall said the large animals would continue to be cared for, but there was no money budgeted for the petting zoo. Michael Curtain complimented the city on doing a good job this past year in comparison to other municipalities. He said that he would like to see more equality throughout the city regarding funding. He noted there is no ROPE officer or parks in the Southwest Area Neighborhood. Mayor Schock said that the city cannot be expected to continue to absorb a $2 million loss and dip into reserves to cover it. He felt this was the right choice for this year, though. There being no further comments, Mayor Schock declared the public hearing closed.
