To The Honorabll2Mayor Richard Verbic
and Members of the City Council of Elgin, Illinois
Subject: Revenue Sources for City Operations
and Services
Council Members:
Much has been written about the City's need for additional
revenues.
I offer hear a previously overlooked but continuing
revenue source. I propose that bulk quantities of hand bills
and other advertising materials be licensed and a fee of five cents
per pound be collected from distributers of such unordered matter •
to Elgin homes.
•
The license fee could be nominal and exemptions
could be made for. only occasional distributions such as 3 or 4
times a year. The bulk of the revenue would come from a relatively
small number of operators and collection procedures would be
quite simple.
Sjnce the material in consideration comprises a sig-
nificant proper: don of th load of our trash and litter collections
it would be appropriate to allocate the revenues from this tax and
permits to the sanitation department of Public 'Works.
Respectfully submitted,
•

THE ABOVE IS QUOTED FROM JUDGE EMERITUS ERNEST AKEMANN ' S PRE-
SENTATION ON THIS SUBJECT IN 1984. IT IS ALSO APPROPRIATE FOR THE
FOLLOWING:
CITY OF ELGIN SPECIAL SERVICE AREA NUMBER TWO (TAXING DISTRICT)
HAS BEEN THE SUBJECT OF MUCH DISCUSSION SINCE 1977. THE SPECIAL
SERVICE AREA WAS ESTABLISHED BY CITY OF ELGIN ORDINANCE T10-77,
8 SEPTEMBER 1977, TO "PROVIDE SPECIAL MUNICIPAL SERVICES TO SAID
AREA IN ADDITION TO SERVICES PROVIDED TO CITY GENERALLY. INCLUDED
IN SAID SERVICES SHALL BE THE DESIGN, CONSTRUCTION AND OPERATION OF
A MULTI-LEVEL PUBLIC PARKING FACILITY AND ALL THINGS INCIDENTAL THERE-
TO - INCLUDING ACQUISITION OF LAND AND CONSTRUCTION OF STREET IMPROVEMENTS
THIS WAS DONE AFTER A PUBLIC HEARING ON THE QUESTION, HELD
AFTER DUE NOTICE ETC. . FROM MINUTES OF THE PUBLIC HEARING IT IS
NOTED THAT, "THE FOLLOWING PROPERTY OWNERS OR TENANTS APPEARED AT
THE PUBLIC HEARING AND OBJECTED TO THE POTENTIAL TAX TO BE IMPOSED
UPON PROPERTIES LOCATED IN THE DISTRICT: PETE ANDERSEN, FRANK
CIACCO, ROSE HAWKINS, EARL KEENEY AND PAUL WARREN. THE FOLLOWING
OWNERS APPEARED AND REQUESTED THAT THE PROPOSED SPECIAL SERVICE AREA
BE FORMED AS PROPOSED: GEORGE PERUCCO, HAROLD SEIGLE AND PAUL
ZUMKELLER.
ON PAGE 2 OF MINUTES OF PUBLIC HEARING IT IS NOTED THAT, MR.
PETE "PETERSON" STATED, 'I DON"T BELIEVE THAT THE MAXIMUM RATE WOULD
EVER BE LOWERED, PRICES ARE NOT COMING DOWN. ' MR. NELSON REPLIED,
- 2 -
'WE ARE TALKING ABOUT A SPECIAL TAX FOR THIS FACILITY ONLY, YOU
CAN NOT LEVY THIS TAX FOR ANY OTHER PURPOSE. ' MR. "PETERSEN" STATED,
'BUT YOU HAVE TO CONSIDER MAINTENANCE COSTS AND PART OF THE MAIN-
a
TENANCE COSTS ARE GOING TO HAVE TO COME OUT OF REVENUE. ' 'I DON'T
THINK THERE IS ANY BUSINESSMAN WHO CAN PREDICATE THE FUTURE OF HIS
BUSINESS ON THIS KIND OF VARIABLE. IF THE PROFESSIONAL PEOPLE IN
THE CITY OF ELGIN WERE TO SAY, WELL IF THINGS WORK OUT ALRIGHT, FINE,
WE WILL TAKE THE HIGHER SALARY, BUT IF THINGS DON 'T WORK OUT WE WILL
TAKE THE LOWER SALARY. ' I DON'T THINK YOU WOULD PREDICATE YOUR
SALARY ON A VARIABLE BETWEEN $1. 10 AND $4.00 AND WE ARE HAVING TO
PREDICATE OUR INCOME ON THAT SAME THING. '
ON PAGE 3 OF THE SAME MINUTES IS THE FOLLOWING: "HAROLD SIEGLE
STATED, I FEEL WE NEED THIS PARKING LOT, IT'.S VERY IMPORTANT TO OUR
CITY AND DOWNTOWN. I HAVE RESERVATIONS ABOUT THIS PARKING LOT AND
I NOTE FROM THE COMMENTS YOU FELLOWS HAVE RESERVATIONS TOO. I
All
THINK THAT WITH ALL THE SHORTCOMINGS CONCERNING THE MALL THAT I HAVE
TALKED ABOUT THAT ALL OF US HERE, PROPERTY OWNERS AND ALL, FEEL AN
INEQUITY ON THE TAXATION. I THINK PEOPLE ADJACENT TO THE MALL SHOULD
PAY A HIGHER RATE THAN PEOPLE ON THE PERIMETER OF THE MALL. IN FAIR-
NESS I THINK THIS IS THE WAY IT SHOULD BE ASSESSED.
IN LOOKING OVER MY CRITICISM OF THE CITY, I THINK THE NEED IS
SO GREAT THAT WE SHOULD SUPPORT IT, TAKE OUR CHANCES THAT THE $4.00
THAT YOU START WITH MAY GO DOWN TO $1 .50. I THINK THEY WILL PRODUCE
REVENUE AND LET ' S ALL SUPPORT THIS. "
THE SECTION 2C, OF THE ORDINANCE STATES THAT NO PETITIONS
SIGNED BY 51% OF ELECTORS OF THE DISTRICTS ESTABLISHMENT WERE PRESENT-
ED IN THE 30 DAYS PERIOD FOLLOWING THE HEARING NOR, 51% OF PROPERTY
OWNERS OF RECORD INCLUDED WITHIN THE PROPOSED SPECIAL SERVICE AREA
OBJECTING TO THE FORMATION OF SAID SPECIAL SERVICE AREA OR THE LEVY
OF TAXES AS PROPOSED.
- 3 -
IT WAS NECESSARY TO ENGAGE IN EXTENSIVE, EXPENSIVE LITIGATION
TO REFUTE THE ABOVE. EASILY IN FACT, ON THE ELECTORS AFTER ELIMIN-
ATING 19 OF 40 CLAIMED BY THE CITY AS BEING RESIDENTS OF THE DOUGLAS
HOTEL.
ON SOME HIGHLY TECHNICAL POINTS THE COURT RULED THAT A NUMBER
OF PROPERTY OWNERS ' SIGNATURES WERE DEFECTIVE AND THEY COULD NOT BE
CLARIFIED OR AFFIRMED. ABOUT A DOZEN CHARITABLE AND RELIGIOUS
ORGANIZATION PROPERTIES WERE COUNTED AS FAVORING THE PROJECT
ALTHOUGH MOST STATED THEY WANTED TO BE CONSIDERED NEUTRAL! THERE
WAS ONE CHURCH WHOSE PASTOR WROTE AND REQUESTED THAT THEY NOT BE
COUNTED.
IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT THERE WAS NO PROVISION FOR A VOTE
FOR OR AGAINST THE PROJECT. EVERYONE WAS COUNTED AS BEING IN
FAVOR UNLESS HE SIGNED PETITIONS OPPOSING THE MATTER. THE RELIGIOUS
AND CHARITABLE GROUPS WERE ALSO TOLD BY THE CITY THAT THEY WOULD NOT
BE CHARGED. THEY ARE NOT, BY LAW, EXEMPT FROM ASSESSMENTS FOR
SPECIAL SERVICES.
SECTION 5 TAX, ON THE ORDINANCE PROVIDES "THAT A TAX NOT TO
EXCEED AN ANNUAL RATE OF $4.00 PER $100.00 OF ASSESSED EVALUATION,
AS EQUALLED, IS AUTHORIZED TO BE LEVIED AGAINST REAL AND PERSONAL
PROPERTY INCLUDED IN THE SPECIAL SERVICE AREA.
IN SECTION 6, THE ORDINANCE PROVIDES "THAT IN ACCORDANCE WITH
THE APPLICABLE STATUTE THE CORPORATE AUTHORITIES OF THE CITY OF ELGIN
SHALL BE THE GOVERNING BODY OF THE CITY OF ELGIN SPECIAL SERVICE
AREA NUMBER TWO. "
ALL OF THIS WAS PROPOSED TO HELP SAVE THE DOWNTOWN ELGIN FROM
ECONOMIC DETERIORATION, YET THE PROPERTIES EXPECTING TO BENEFIT MOST
FROM THE CONSTRUCTION AND OPERATION OF THE PARKING FACILITY, THOSE
IN FOUNTAIN SQUARE PLAZA, WERE DELIBERATELY, AT THE REQUEST OF THE
OWNERS, LEFT OUT OF THE TAXING DISTRICT.
- 4 -
THE PARKING RAMP WAS CONSTRUCTED AND PLACED IN OPERATION ,FTER
THE CIRCUIT AND APPELLATE COURTS FAILED TO FIND THE ORDINANCE
VALID. THE CITY OF ELGIN ACQUIRED THE PROPERTY OF THE ELGIN TRADES All
COUNCIL AND DEMOLISHED ITS BUILDING. TO HELP THE TRADES COUNCI ,
RELOCATE, THE CITY ARRANGED A $400,000.00 PLUS INDUSTRIAL REVENJE
BOND LOAN SO THAT THE TRADES COUNCIL COULD ACQUIRE ANOTHER BUILDING
NEAR THE TOLL ROAD, TWO MILES OR SO FROM ELGIN' S CENTRAL BUSINESS
DISTRICT. THIS ALSO ENABLED A STATEWIDE TEACHERS UNION ORGANIZATION,
OWNERS OF THAT BUILDING, TO LEAVE ELGIN COMPLETELY.
THE PROCESS OF ARRANGING INDUSTRIAL REVENUE BONDS TO HELP FIRMS
OR INDIVIDUALS RELOCATE BUSINESSES HAS ALSO BEEN USED TO AID ONE OF
ELGINS OLDEST FIRMS TO GET OUT OF THE CENTRAL PART OF THE CITY.
SUCH A BOND ISSUE IN THE AMOUNT OF $1, 850,000 WAS ARRANGED FOR THE
ELGIN LUMBER & SUPPLY COMPANY OR SEIGLE ' S HOME & BUILDING CENTERS
FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF A NEW FACILITY ON THE NORTHWEST EDGE OF ELGIN./
THESE ARRANGEMENTS HAVE CAUSED A FRIEND OF MINE TO REMARK THAT
THE CITY OF ELGIN, REMINDS HIM OF ZSA ZSA GABOR OF WHOM IT IS SAID,
"SHE LIKED TO DO CHARITY WORK AMONG THE RICH! "
THE ORIGINAL CONCEPT OF THE SPRING STREET PARKING RAMPS CON-
TEMPLATED THAT, IN TODAY'S BUSINESS AND GOVERNMENT JARGON, THE
FACILITY WOULD BE A "PROFIT CENTER" . IT WOULD GENERATE INCOME FROM
RENT OF RETAIL STORE SPACES ON THE SPRING STREET SIDE OF THE STRUCTURE
IN ADDITION TO USER FEES FOR PARKING OPERATIONS. THESE REVENUES, IT
WAS CLAIMED, WOULD, IN ADDITION TO PAYING OPERATING COSTS, TAKE CARE
OF INTEREST AND THE ANNUAL $100, 000.00 PRINCIPAL PAYMENT ON THE OUT-
STANDING BONDS. JUDGE EMERITUS ERNEST AKEMANN, IN AN EXTENSIVE PRE-
SENTATION MADE TO THE COUNCIL A YEAR AGO POINTED OUT THAT THE STRUCTURE
AS CONSTRUCTED WAS NOT THAT WHICH WAS PROPOSED IN THE PROMOTIONS MADE,"
BEFORE THE PUBLIC BEFORE PASSAGE OF ORDINANCE T10-77. FURTHER IT WAS
POINTED OUT OTHER USES AND EXPENSES HAVE OCCURRED NOT IN ORIGINAL
"PROSPECTUSES" .
- 5 -
LAST YEAR I CALLED THE ATTENTION OF THE COUNCIL TO THE FACT THAT
THE COMBINED WISDOM OF THE DIRECTORS OF THREE OF OUR ELGINS FINANCIAL
INSTITUTIONS HAD RECENTLY RESULTED IN THE CONSTRUCTION AND OPENING
OF 3 ADDITIONAL DRIVE-IN BRANCHES IN OUTLYING AREAS OF ELGIN. THESE
OF COURSE MADE IT POSSIBLE FOR MORE AND MORE BANK CUSTOMERS TO DO
BANKING WITHOUT COMING DOWNTOWN. 'THIS WOULD REDUCE NEED TO USE THE
NEW PARKING RAMPS.
MANY STREET PARKING METERS HAVE BEEN "HOODED" AND USE OF THE
SPACES DECLARED FREE. METERS HAVE BEEN REMOVED IN MAJOR LOTS IN THE
NEAR-DOWNTOWN AREA ENCOURAGEING MORE AND MORE MOTORISTS TO AVOID THE
SPRING STREET PARKING DECK.
ALTHOUGH THE ESTABLISHING ORDINANCE FOR THE PARKING VENTURE
KNOWN AS ELGIN SERVICE AREA NUMBER TWO SPECIFIES THAT THE CITY
OFFICIALS OF ELGIN CONSTITUTE THE "GOVERNING BODY" , I HAVE NOT BEEN
ABLE TO FIND ANY MINUTES OF MEETINGS OF THE GOVERNING BODY OR
SPECIFIC RECORDS OF ACTIONS OF THAT BODY RELATING TO ELGIN SERVICE
AREA NUMBER TWO. SUCH QUESTIONS AS AUTHORITY FOR NO FEES WHEN THE
PARKING DECK IS FULLY OCCUPIED ON SUNDAYS WAS NOT FOUND IN THE RECORD.
IN SOME LARGE CITIES THIS WOULD HAVE THE APPEARANCE OF GRANTING FAVORS
OR REWARDING A FEW OR GROUPS FOR PAST FAVORS. WITH THE RECENT TURMOIL
IN AN AREA NEARBY ABOUT DISPLAYING A RELIGIOUS SYMBOL, THE CHRISTIAN
CROSS ON A MUNICIPAL STRUCTURE, WE SHOULD HOPE THAT NO ACTIVISTS
WOULD OBSERVE THAT CONGREGATIONS OF CERTAIN CHRISTIAN CHURCHES ARE RE-
CEIVING SPECIAL SERVICES WITHOUT CHARGE FROM THE CITY OF ELGIN.
THE LEVY NOW PROPOSED FOR 1985 IS NOMINAL AND RIDICULOUS. IT
DOES NOT JUSTIFY THE TIME OF ALL THE STAFFS THAT MUST SPREAD IT OVER
THE PROPERTIES OF SERVICE AREA TWO OR OF THE GESTATION INVOLVED IN
EVENTUALLY MAKING THE COLLECTION.
WHILE IT IS CLAIMED THAT THE AMOUNTS PROPOSED RESULT FROM STUDIED
- 6 -
DELIBERATIONS IT IS APPARENT THAT THE AMOUNT IS ARBITRARY. A YEAR
AGO THE COUNCIL APPEARED TO AGREE THAT THE AMOUNT OF THE LEVY AFTER
ABATEMENTS, WOULD BE $25, 000.00 AND INTIMATED THAT FUTURE YEARS
WOULD HOLD AT THAT FIGURE. ORDINANCE T4-85 COMES UP WITH A FIGURE
OF $26, 225.00 INCREASED TO $26, 490.00 BY AN ITEM OF 265, (1% LOSS
OF COLLECTIONS) . THE 26, 225 JUST HAPPENS? TO BE LAST YEAR' S AGREED
AMOUNT PLUS A SHADE UNDER 5% . UNDER THE "TRUTH IN TAXATION" STATUTES
ANY CASES WHERE INCREASES OVER PREVIOUS YEAR EXCEED 5% REQUIRE THAT
PUBLIC HEAR /GS UST BE HELD BEFORE ADOPTION. THE BASIC ORDINANCE T10-77
I M
HAS NOT BEEN AMENDED AND STILL PERMITS THE $4.00 PER HUNDRED LEVY.
THIS COULD EASILY BE INVOKED AGAIN UNLESS THIS ELGIN SPECIAL SERVICE
AREA TAXING DISTRICT IS ABOLISHED BY WHATEVER MEANS ARE APPROPRIATE.
PROPERTY OWNERS MAY HAVE THEIR ASSESSED VALUATIONS REDUCED BY
APPEALS TO THE BOARD OF REVIEW BUT THAT, WITH RESPECT TO THIS LEVY,
AloONLY CHANGES THE ALLOCATION BETWEEN TAX PAYING UNITS WITHIN AREA TWO.
ACKEMANN BROS. INC. PROPERTIES ASSESSED VALUATION HAVE BEEN REDUCED
IN RECENT YEARS AND THIS YEAR THE HOME FEDERAL SAVINGS & LOAN AS DC.
HAS JUST SUCCEEDED IN PURSUADING THE KANE COUNTY BOARD OF REVIEW TO
REDUCE ITS EQUALIZED ASSESSED VALUATION BY $141, 332 TO A NEW TOTAL
OF $799, 920 . THIS WILL MAKE THIS PROPERTY' S ASSESSMENT FOR SPECIAL
SERVICE AREA TWO APPROXIMATELY EQUAL TO THAT OF THE ILLINOIS BELL
TELEPHONE CO. WHOSE EQUALIZED ASSESSED VALUATION IF $803, 291 FOR 1985.
IT SHOULD BE NOTED HERE AGAIN THAT THE TELEPHONE COMPANY CAN
DERIVE ABSOLUTELY NO BENEFIT FROM THE PRESENCE OF THE PARKING DECK.
THERE IS NO WAY A SUBSCRIBER CAN CONFRONT A PERSON AT THE TELEPHONE
COMPANY PROPERTY AT 255 E. CHICAGO STREET TO TRANSACT ANY BUSINESS SO
THE DECK MEANS NOTHING TO THAT COMPANY. PAYING ITS ` SPECIAL SERVICE
JP
AREA TWO ASSESSMENT IS A PURE GIFT TO THE CITY OF ELGIN. HOWEVER, Thft
- 7 -
PROPERTY OF HOME FEDERAL SAVINGS & LOAN ASSOCIATION IS DIRECTLY
ACROSS SPRING STREET FROM THE PARKING FACILITY AND COULD BE A PRIME
BENEFICIARY.
THE WHOLE CONCEPT AND OPERATION OF ELGIN SPECIAL SERVICE AREA
TWO IS REPLETE WITH EXAMPLES OF SUCH ANOMALIES. THEY ILLUSTRATE
THAT THE REAL BENEFICIARIES ARE THE OWNERS OF AUTOMOBILES THROUGHOUT
THE CITY WHO HAVE OCCASSION TO VISIT THE DOWNTOWN AREA.
I HEREBY REQUEST THAT THE CITY COUNCIL OF ELGIN ABATE THE ENTIRE
LEVY FOR CITY OF ELGIN SPECIAL SERVICE AREA TWO FOR 1986 AND PROMPTLY
ABOLISH THIS SPECIAL TAX ASSESSMENT DISTRICT FOR ALL TIME.
IT IS HOPED THAT THIS CAN BE DONE WITHOUT THE PETTY RANCOR OF
INDIVIDUALS OF THE COUNCIL THAT HAS BEEN APPARENT IN PREVIOUS CON-
SIDERATIONS OF THIS MATTER.
JUDGE ERNEST AKEMANN' S VIEW EXPRESSED A YEAR AGO IN HIS REPORT
eft AND MINE ARE IDENTICAL AS FOLLOWS; "I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT IN GOOD
CONSCIENCE YOU SHOULD CONTINUE THE AREA TWO TAXING DISTRICT FOR EVEN
ONE MORE YEAR. "
RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED,
GUNNAR W. CARLSON
