 POSITION STATEMENT
 Jan Pfeifer - OPPOSE
 Melissa Gross - OPPOSE

 WRITTEN COMMENT ONLY

City of Naperville Page 5 Printed on 6/8/2022
City Council Meeting Minutes May 17, 2022

 Derek Miller - I am against the appointment of Kevin Coyne for the Naperville
 Public Library Board of Trustees. While I appreciate the service he has provided
 as a public servant to Naperville, his association as a moderator and member of
 the Awake Illinois group should be disqualifying. The group harassed members
 of the St. Charles Public Library and the violent threats leveled at the library
 forced it to close for a period of time. Mr. Coyne did not saying anything at the
 last meeting to disavow those actions even if he wasn't personally involved in
 the incident. I know Mayor Chirico and many current councilmembers know Mr.
 Coyne personally, but I hope that does not get in the way of making an unbiased
 decision on his appointment. While I agree that our city is best served when our
 boards are populated by citizens of varying backgrounds and ideologies, being a
 part of a group that threatens library staff members should be disqualifying from
 any position serving the public, let alone a position with the library. I ask the
 council to please vote "No" on Mr. Coyne's appointment.

 Lynn Gosselin - Per the agenda for the 5/17 City Council meeting, Shannon
 Adcock is not being recommended at this time for SECA and Kevin Coyne is
 being recommended for the Library board. Mrs. Adcock was quoted in the May
 12th Daily Herald saying "I was on the receiving end of most of the hateful
 remarks and lies about my advocacy, so it's probably wise that it be PARKED
 FOR NOW." (CAPS for emphasis). Let's be clear, the hateful remarks were
 Mrs. Adcock's own words or the words of her organization, Awake. The posts
 were from years ago and from as recently as last week. There should be no "for
 now" promises. Mrs. Adcock has demonstrated over and over that she is unfit
 for any government role, at any time. Period. Mr. Coyne is on the agenda and
 per the Mayor's quote in the same Daily Herald article, it is reasonable to
 assume that he is confident he has the votes on Council. I ask that you all
 reconsider. I understand that many, if not all, of you have current personal and
 working relationships with Mr. Coyne or have had them in the past. And you
 probably feel that history you share is the same as vetting a candidate. It is not.
 Mr. Coyne's recent behavior undermines whatever DEI and steward of
 government credibility he may have once had. Mr. Coyne is a vocal supporter of
 Mrs. Adcock and Awake. He has not backed down once, even after listening to
 citizen after citizen read Mrs. Adcock and Awake's abhorrent social media
 posts. His Safe Suburbs PAC has been on fire criticizing Chicago for violence
 (over 90% of posts) but has said not one word about the 18 year old white
 supremacist who wrote a replacement theory manifesto, drove to Buffalo, and
 murdered a dozen black people this weekend. Not one thing. And it's not
 because it is out of market. On March 31, 2022, Safe Suburbs posted about
 officers shot in Lebanon, PA. He may have supported DEI when he was on City
 Council but he currently seems intent on attacking diverse communities for the
 purpose of scaring suburban voters into voting for authoritarians who will crack
 down on diverse communities. But if that does not convince you, this should.
 He's nominated for LIBRARY board. He supports Shannon Adcock and Awake.
 Shannon Adcock and Awake led a maskless protest at the St. Charles Library.
 They gleefully streamed the entire thing and then when their followers contacted
 the library with threats and the library was closed due to these threats, Kevin
 Coyne said NOTHING. He does not currently demonstrate the character and
 judgment to be on the Library's board. Please put aside your histories with Mr.
 Coyne and evaluate this candidate based on his current actions. If you do, I am
 confident you will realize there are more qualified candidates who will protect

City of Naperville Page 6 Printed on 6/8/2022
City Council Meeting Minutes May 17, 2022

 and expand Naperville Public Library's mission, not undermine it.

 Meena Banasiak - I am writing to express grave concern with Mayor Chirico's
 recommendation to appoint Kevin Coyne to the Naperville Public Library's Board
 of Trustees. This nomination is extremely concerning to our entire community,
 not because of a difference in "liberal or conservative" politics, but because of
 Mr. Coyne's active involvement in and advocacy of Awake Illinois. Earlier this
 year, the St. Charles library was forced to close after actions taken by members
 of Awake resulted in library staff receiving numerous threatening messages. Mr.
 Coyne has served as a Facebook moderator for Awake, attended their events in
 person, and continued to defend Shannon Adcock (founder and president of the
 group) in spite of public outcry over her many disturbingly offensive social media
 posts and public comments. How can our library staff and patrons feel safe with
 someone on the Board who supports a group that both expressed and incited
 threats to a nearby library? Furthermore, Awake Illinois' initiatives are rooted in
 intolerance and denigration of those who actively work toward upholding
 diversity, equity, and inclusion. Given Mr. Coyne's allegiance to this
 organization, voting to approve his appointment to the Library's Board would be
 completely antithetical to both the library's and the city's commitments to DEI.
 City Council Members: Please use your vote to DENY the nomination of Mr.
 Coyne to the Library Board. His involvement with and defense of Awake Illinois
 are evidence that he will NOT serve in the best interests of the library and that
 he is incapable of upholding our city's stated mission to create an inclusive
 community that values diversity.

 Ellen L May - Mayor Chirico and Council Members: Public libraries support one
 of our democracy’s core values: intellectual freedom. Trustees of public
 libraries are tasked with advocating for that value. Therefore, when appointing
 someone to sit on the board of a public library, we must consider if that person
 will represent the community in its pursuit of intellectual freedom. Mayor Chirico
 wants to appoint Kevin Coyne to the board of Naperville’s Public Library. Mr.
 Coyne is an active member of an extremist group called Awake Illinois. Awake
 Illinois openly and routinely speaks out against members of the LGBTQ
 community, people of color, and non-Christian religions. At the last City Council
 meeting, Naperville residents read from Awake’s social media accounts to
 share the group’s agenda, so I will not re-iterate that here. How can Mr. Coyne
 actively support a group like Awake that wants to silence people who do not
 conform to its beliefs and at the same time, protect our library whose main
 value is intellectual freedom? The answer is that he cannot. I find it stunning that
 Mayor Chirico would even consider appointing Mr. Coyne to any board
 representing the entire Naperville community, much less the public library.
 Mayor Chirico and City Council members, if you truly believe that hate has no
 home in Naperville, you will not appointment Kevin Coyne to the public library
 board.

City Council Meeting Minutes May 17, 2022



 Janice F Guider, MPH, CHES - In the interest of full disclosure, I am one of the
 persons targeted by AWAKE_IL and Freedom Illinois. The former has me listed
 on its "Watchdog" list. Why? Because I supported my community, particularly
 our schools planning vaccine clinics to help mitigate the spread and severe
 SARS-CoV-2 disease. In the wake of the hate-fueled murders of 10 Americans
 who happened to be African-American in Buffalo, New York, this past weekend
 and AWAKE_IL's reckless response (Twitter), I feel more compelled than ever
 to ask my mayor and city council members to please don't sanction AWAKE_IL
 racist idealogy into our community. Listening to Kevin Coyne speak recently, his
 decision to join AWAKE_IL, including serving as moderator of its social media
 sites, is astounding and revealing. He is not the right person to sit on our Library
 Board. Tolerance of the intolerant is not acceptable. Public health and civic
 engagement go hand in hand and drive equity throughout the Naperville
 community. The work to improve health outcomes requires, with intention, the
 will to create safe and healthy spaces for all residents to grow and thrive and be
 safe where we live. The CITY OF NAPERVILLE MISSION STATEMENT reads,
 "To provide services that ensure a high quality of life, sound fiscal management,
 and a dynamic business environment while creating an inclusive community
 that values diversity." If Naperville is truly a community of belonging, there is no
 room for intolerance, particularly regarding race, ethnicity, religion, and gender.
 To best sum up our DEI Statement: "The City of Naperville is intentional about
 diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in Naperville and recognizes that diversity
 in our community and organization makes the city stronger." Dare we
 compromise our DEI efforts with a welcome mat to AWAKE_IL? The hypocrisy
 to even consider anyone from this extremist group is astounding. "Nuanced in
 racism or bigotry is anti- an ideology deeply ingrained in Awake_IL ... its leaders
 and members. Naperville, a community of belonging, cannot welcome Anti-DEI,
 Anti-BIPOC, Anti-LGBTQIA, and ANTI-CRT as ANTI runs against Naperville's
 commitment to being intentional about inclusion for all its residents. Health
 disparities exist and disproportionately impact historically marginalized
 populations, both the quality of life and lifespan. Systems that support
 discrimination in any form cause harm, and studies demonstrate this harm; the
 chronic toxic stress linked to racism results in chronic non-communicable
 disease. In other words, minority families will continue to experience harm
 because of systems that support institutional racism. The disproportionate
 mortality associated with the pandemic illustrates the historical burden of
 minorities as causality for numerous diseases is linked to racist systems and
 stress... referred to as the allostatic load. Naperville cannot decidedly assemble
 a social system built around anti-DEI, anti-CRT, anti-LGBTQIA, anti-social and
 emotional learning, and anti-evidence-based data threatens our collective
 scholarship to consider intelligent thoughts and effective action. We all enjoy the
 freedom of free speech, but with this freedom comes responsibility and
 accountability for Naperville's stated mission. Is a hostile environment needed
 for any Board, especially our Library Boards, to function at its maximum? The
 presence of any representation from AWAKE-IL will impede diverse
 perspectives from actualizing our mission to be intentional about DEI. Instead,
 these boards should deliberately reflect race, ethnicity, gender, age, culture,
 language, and disability at a surface level. Recently, the DuPage County Board
 awarded $$10 million in social service grants to address the needs of our
 community. Many of those needs align with building systems to improve

City of Naperville Page 8 Printed on 6/8/2022
City Council Meeting Minutes May 17, 2022

 opportunities for optimal health outcomes for our vulnerable populations.
 Naperville can become the leader in building bridges or systems to expand the
 opportunity for all its residents to feel welcomed with DEI robustly driving
 services throughout our city. We can partner with our hospitals by improving our
 cultural outreach to understand better the uniqueness each population offers to
 make Naperville an enriching place to live and educate future clinicians with
 intentional systems to promote cultural competence that will improve health
 delivery and outcomes. We can no longer afford the ANTI in our humanity... the
 bitterness and hostility are detrimental to the health of Naperville residents and
 costly. Studies show that toxic stress linked to discrimination is the causality of
 many non-communicable diseases and may start in childhood. We need
 cultural activities to build on social and emotional learning. The allostatic load of
 our bodies responding to stress results in premature death in African
 American/Black populations regardless of socioeconomic status. Some
 Napervillians meet the qualifications for either of our boards... Namely, Dr.
 Robert O. Harris. With all due respect to Mayor Chirico and members of our
 City Council, please be intentional about our collective commitment to diversity
 and inclusion when making these necessary appointments and not disrupt
 Naperville's progress. Naperville has been my home for close to 40 years now,
 and I want to continue to see us thrive. Thank you. JF Guider

 Council discussed the nomination process, candidate qualifications, the City’s
 mission statement, that appointments should make positive contributions to
 community, votes on previous appointments, the impact of social media, the
 appropriateness of developing a Code of Conduct for board/commission
 volunteers, benefits of tabling the item, previous racial incidents in the
 community, the need to take proactive and educational approach to differences,
 and the number of residents that have traditionally attended Library Board
 meetings.
