beneficial and well supported by the downtown population.
Mr. Max Ullrich, 319 South Pine Street, Van Oriel's Medical Supplies.
Mr. Ullrich provided a historical summary of the downtown development
dating back over (50) fifty years.
He stated that typically with each new development the downtown
business community loses customer parking. Mr. Ullrich further stated
that in order for the downtown business district to thrive, new and
existing businesses, adequate and convenient parking for customers
must be a priority in downtown redevelopment.
At the suggestion of the Village Board, Mr. Ullrich will provide written
comments and concerns regarding parking for Village staff review and
response.
Mr. Mathew Leger, 909 South Lancaster
Mr. Leger expressed his concerns regarding the recent increase in water/
sewer rates and questioned the need for the substantial increases.
Referring to the Village's aging infrastructure Village Manager Michael Janonis
provided background information on the Village's $15 million sewer rehab project.
Mr. Janonis also explained that the Village's water fund is self-sufficient; cannot
tap into other Village funds to offset costs. (Mr. Janonis also clarified that
the increase only affected homeowners receiving Village water/sewer services,
not homeowners with services provided by Illinois American Water.)

were part of the Village Board's 2006 Budget discussions, and supported by the

Briarwood, LLC. Mr. Yungerman stated his organization had done the

PUBLIC
COMMENTS
Public Comments and Discussion
Mayor Wilks opened hearing for public comments and discussion.
Mr. David Lindgren, 743 Whitegate Court
Mr. Lindgren, Chair of the Economic Development Commission, read a
prepared statement from the Commission in support of the proposed
amendment. To enhance the viability of the downtown business
district the Commission supports the expansion of the TIF boundaries.
Several questions specific to the TIF taxing structure were presented for
discussion and response by the following residents.
Mr. Clayton Berrigan, 740 Creekside
Mr. Mel Houlec, 927 Quince Lane
Mr. Cooney explained that TIF is an economic tool for the Village to develop
the downtown area. It is not a mechanism for the businesses to avoid paying
Mr. Cooney explained that TIF is an economic too for the Village to
Develop the downtown area. It is not a mechanism for business to
avoid paying taxes.
In response to the concern that people not in the TIF area are being hurt because
of the agreement with other taxing bodies, Mr. Janonis stated that a favorable
agreement had been worked out with the other taxing bodies, i.e., school districts,
park districts and library. Effective 2008 the Village will pay the affected taxing
bodies from the TI F fund; payment will be close to 100% of what they would have
received if TIF no longer existed.
Mr. Janonis also pointed out that the TIF extension allows the Village to make
infrastructure repairs that benefit the entire community.
Mayor Wilks encouraged Mr. Houlec to contact the Village Manager regarding
use of local tax dollars. Mr. Janonis added that the Village's annual audit is a
publiC record and available for review.
The following residents expressed support for the redevelopment of the
downtown area including boundary expansion, but encouraged the Village
Board to consider and be sensitive to what is already there as part of decision
making process for new development. Suggested land usage included a
grocery store and a park.
Ms. Donna Franczk, 20 South Pine
Ms. Geralyn May, 5 West Central
Mr. Greg Ivaska, 11 North Wille
Trustee Hoefert stated the Village Board also supports residential friendly
development.
The need for additional and convenient parking for residents and customers were
voiced by several residents. The following residents also offered constructive
comments for improving the parking conditions.
Ms. Helene Cord, 11 South Wille
Ms. Peggy O'Connor, 40 East Northwest Highway
Ms. Donna Franczyk, 20 South Pine
Mr. Janonis stated additional community education efforts and signage to
promote public use of the parking deck located between Village Hall and the
Library will be initiated.
Mr. Peter Loeschke, 101 South Elm Street
Mr. Loeschke questioned why these areas were not included in the original TIF
district and if the area will be extended south of the railroad tracks.
Mr. Cooney responded that initially the Village believed these two properties would
develop themselves. Central Plaza has not developed and the Chase building
has aged.
Mayor Wilks stated that unlike other communities the Village has been judicious
in focusing on the development of one (1) TIF district.
Mr. Janonis stated there has been no discussion for TIF redevelopment on the other
side of the tracks.
Mr. Michael Karkowski, 105 South Maple Street
Mr. Karkowski stated his home is in the original TIF boundaries established in 1985;
does the Village have future plans for the residential area.
Mr. Janonis stated the residential area was included in the original boundaries but
never considered for redevelopment.
Ms. Betty Lall, 220 South School
Ms. Lall also expressed concern about future plans for the Village Commons.
Mr. Janonis stated the 1987 development of Village Commons was the Village's
first TIF "success story" and there are no plans for change in this area.
Mayor Wilks thanked all the residents for their comments and then opened
discussion and comments to the Village Board.
Trustee Skowron presented a comprehensive review of the Village's TIF District
beginning with its 1985 inception. Since that time TIF has proven to be a good
economic tool in revitalizing the downtown area. And, although development was
slowed by a weak economy in the 1990's, the TIF movement has been revitalized.
Realizing there was little time left to complete the downtown redevelopment the
Village Board made the decision to extend the TIF period and seek expansion of the
boundaries. Recognizing the impact the extension would have on other taxing
bodies, especially the school districts the Village Board asked the school districts to
partner with them in the extension. A successful partnership that ultimately has
minimized the impact of the redistribution of taxes.
Trustee Skowron stated the Village Board has strong expectations of how the
downtown should look. The Village Board is very sensitive to what is being
built in residential areas and encourages resident input. She identified several
actions the Village Board has initiated for successful revitalization of the
downtown area:
· Private enterprise development
· Retail consultant
· Staff guidelines and expectations
· Residents identifying downtown "destinations"
Trustee Skowron stated that suggestions for "destination" locations from
residents have been very helpful; the Village Board also knows what they
don't want. She added that the Village Board is very sensitive to what is
being built in resident areas and how buildings fit in. Trustee Skowron
concluded by asking for the community to work with the Village in the
redevelopment of the TIF District.
Before closing the Public Hearing Mayor Wilks asked for any final comments.
The following residents questioned whether there was adequate drainage for
the various project areas.
Mr. Melvin Fisher, 100 South William Street
Mr. Ullrich, 319 South Pine Street
Mr. Janonis stated adequate drainage is a high priority when considering
development.
