 Budget Workshop II



On Friday, June 12, 2020, an amendment to the Open Meetings Act was signed into law. This
new law replaces the gubernatorial executive order concerning the Open Meetings Act and
allows public bodies to temporarily conduct meetings remotely during a state of emergency,
subject to certain requirements, including a determination by the head of the public body that an
in-person meeting is not practical or prudent.

On Tuesday, June 16, 2020, Mayor Chirico issued an executive order determining that in-person
meetings of the City Council and the City’s boards and commissions are not currently practical or
prudent due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

B. INTRODUCTION:

C. PUBLIC FORUM:

 COMMENTS TO BE READ BY STAFF
 Jodi Trendle
 Under consideration this evening for the 2021 budget cycle is the establishment
 of a Sustainability Director position. On behalf of N.E.S.T, the Naperville
 Environment and Sustainability Task Force, I would like to extend our
 appreciation of City Leadership in acknowledging the critical importance of
 environmental sustainability for our community. We strongly urge your support
 for this position, as this is a recommendation from our task force which was
 thoroughly researched and identified as a critical, consistent feature among
 communities with leading sustainability programs. Sustainability is an enormous
 undertaking requiring cross-departmental coordination and understanding to
 integrate across entire City operations and also extend out to our community as
 a whole. This requires specific skills, and dedicated time beyond what current
 staff positions have to spare. Your insightful leadership in consideration for the
 long-term interest of our community with this small investment will yield
 significant returns for our community- now and for generations to come, and
 can also ensure Naperville’s position as a consistently highly ranked city to live,
 work and visit.

 SPEAKER
 Jim Hill (Senior Task Force) asked that information regarding the sidewalk
 assistance program information be put on the website and that the Council
 consider establishing a resident group, with staff support from four
 departments, to focus on city beautification.


D. PRESENTATION:

1. 2021 Annual Operating Budget and Capital Improvement Program Workshop #2

 Krieger gave an overview of the workshop and discussed questions submitted
 by the Council.

 Mayer presented the Local Economy portion of the workshop and highlighted
 2020 accomplishments related to navigating the pandemic, cannabis zoning
 regulations, and successful economic development projects. She also
 discussed development trends, sales tax revenue, and key initiatives for 2021 in
 the areas of development, process improvement, and partnering with
 businesses to assist with economic recovery. She concluded with the Food and
 Beverage tax, Hotel and Motel tax, Real Estate Transfer tax, CDBG Cares Act

 funding, utility assistance funds, and the downtown streetscape project.

 Council discussed the City’s investment in the Naperville Development
 Partnership (NDP), projected cannabis revenue, the impact of the pandemic on
 downtown businesses, and the appropriateness of moving forward with the
 streetscape project at this time.

 Krieger explained the contributions to NDP and the Naperville Convention and
 Visitors Bureau.

 Novack explained the structural integrity of the Washington Street Bridge, the
 SSA for the downtown streetscape project, that a vendor was ready to start on
 the project in March 2020, the same vendor is available to start in March 2021
 and have the project completed by July, and if the streetscape project is delayed
 it may not begin until 2024.

 Council discussed how downtown will be affected by the Washington Street
 Bridge construction, that the businesses voted to not move forward with the
 streetscape project due to operational hardship and construction
 inconvenience, financial assistance from the City, CARES Act funding, and that
 more information should be presented in the third budget workshop after
 additional input from the merchants is received.

 Schatz covered the Programs topic and highlighted initiatives including the
 deferral of capital projects, improved utility investment, and technology
 modernization. She discussed key initiatives for 2021 including road projects,
 Motor Fuel tax, Maintenance Improvement Program, Local Gas tax, building and
 facility improvements, body worn cameras for police officers, and several
 utilities projects.

 Council discussed Crisis Intervention Training (CIT) for police department staff,
 opportunities to collaborate with other police departments for body camera data
 storage, AMI, utility collection efforts, and ensuring all efforts have been made to
 give residents and businesses financial relief.

 Mayer discussed the $500,000 in utility assistance funds that has been
 programmed in the 2021 budget.

 Schatz continued and highlighted the Phosphorus fund, the impact of additional
 debt in the Water Utility, and ability to borrow for 2021 projects.

 Mayer stated that utility debt service has been smoothed out but additional
 borrowing is necessary and that the Water Utility has not borrowed since 2007.

 Blenniss explained the aging infrastructure, water loss at the meter, and that
 this is an opportunity to be proactive.

 Mayer stated that consensus will be needed at the third workshop on CIT,
 downtown streetscape, borrowing for the Water Utility, additional police officers,
 and the city beautification project.

 Krieger discussed affordable housing recommendations and new
 Council-requested staff positions. He also detailed potential beautification efforts
 for certain City-owned parcels, entry signage upgrades, and that there is
 currently no discretionary fund to support the effort. He also explained the areas
 additional police officers may be assigned.

 Council discussed mental health prevention, drag racing complaints, traffic
 scores on resident surveys, questioned the appropriate number of officers, how
 success of the officers will be measured, and adding meaningful improvement
 to safety.

 Krieger discussed fines imposed from DuPage County, sustainability efforts,
 Sister Cities and previewed the third and final budget workshop on November
