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rescinded.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

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. Upon a roll call vote: Yeas: Councilmembers Dunne, Gilliam, Kaptain,
Prigge, Steffen, Warren, and Mayor Schock. Nays: None.

Councilmember Warren made a motion, seconded by Councilmember Kaptain, to award a
contract to Landmark Ford for the purchase of eleven Ford Crown Victoria squad cars and four
Ford Expeditions in the amount of $404,625 through the State of Illinois Joint Purchase Program.

and Mayor Schock. Nays: None.
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.

DISTRICT, TO PERMIT ACCESSORY PACKAGE LIQUOR SALES; PROPERTY
LOCATED AT 815 SUMMIT STREET; BY WALGREEN COMPANY, AS APPLICANT,
AND GOLF-HIAWATHA LIMITED PARTNERS, AS OWNERS
Marc Mylott, Community Development Director, reviewed the petition and noted that, at a
recent hearing, the Zoning and Subdivision Hearing Board had recommended approval subject to
conditions.
Councilmember Dunne said that Jewel separates their liquor department and wondered why
Walgreens did not agree to do that. Mayor Schock mentioned that Jewel offers a full service
liquor department whereas Walgreens is only selling beer and wine. Walgreens is abiding by the
same conditions as were imposed on CVS when they received their liquor license.
Councilmember Dunne then said that he had received concerns from neighbors regarding theft.
Police Chief Swoboda said there had been calls for service at the CVS store and although they
were for retail theft, none had been alcohol related. Mr. Mylott said he had also checked on calls
for service at Aldi and there had been no alcohol related calls.
Councilmember Kaptain asked if Walgreens had the same requirements as CVS and Mr. Mylott
said yes, he believed they were the same.
Councilmember Gilliam made a motion, seconded by Councilmember Steffen, to approve

and does hereby determine that it is advisable and in the best interests of the Municipality and

613
redevelopment project area to be known as Bluff City/Quarry Redevelopment Project Area (the
“Redevelopment Project Area”) as further described in EXHIBIT A attached hereto and that the
Municipality adopt tax increment allocation financing for the proposed Redevelopment Project
Area; and
Whereas, pursuant to Section 11-74.4-4.2 of the TIF Act the Municipality has created an
interested parties registry for activities related to the proposed Redevelopment Project Area, to
adopt reasonable registration rules, and to prescribe requisite registration forms for residents and
organizations active within the Municipality that seek to be placed on said interested parties
registry, and the Corporate Authorities have heretofore, and it is hereby determined that the
Municipality has created such registry, adopted such registration rules and prescribed such
requisite registration forms and will give public notice thereof; and
Whereas, the TIF Act requires the Municipality also to convene a joint review board and
conduct a public hearing prior to the adoption of ordinances approving a redevelopment plan and
project, designating a redevelopment project area, and adopting tax increment allocation
financing therefor, at which hearing any interested person or affected taxing district may file
with the Municipal Clerk written objections to and may be heard orally with respect to the
proposed Redevelopment Plan and Project; and
Whereas, the TIF Act further requires that such joint review board consist of a

Whereas, the TIF Act further requires that the time and place of such public hearing be

Whereas, the TIF Act further requires that not less than 10 days prior to adopting such
ordinance or resolution fixing the time and place of a public hearing, the Municipality must make
available for public inspection a redevelopment plan or a separate report that provides in
reasonable detail the basis for the proposed Redevelopment Project Area’s qualifying as a

Whereas, the firm of Kane, McKenna & Associates, Inc., has conducted an eligibility
survey of the proposed Redevelopment Project Area and has prepared its report (the “Report”)
that said proposed area qualifies as a “redevelopment project area” as defined in the TIF Act,
which survey and findings have been presented to the Corporate Authorities and are now on file

Whereas, the Report has heretofore been on file and available for public inspection for at
least 10 days in the offices of the Municipal Clerk as required under the TIF Act; and
Whereas, the TIF Act requires that notice of the public hearing be given by publication

Whereas, the Corporate Authorities have heretofore and it hereby is determined that it is
advisable to convene a joint review board and hold a public hearing to consider the proposed
