G. PUBLIC FORUM:

 SPEAKERS
 SB3336 E-bike status
 Derek Adam Hoover (Naperville) provided an update on his proposed
 amendments to the E-Bike ordinance first discussed at the April 7, 2026
 Council meeting and requested assistance in presenting his ideas to State
 leaders.

 Rejection of Springhill Park replacement
 Whitney Glowacki (Naperville) discussed her concerns with the Naperville Park
 District and their proposed renovations at Springhill Park.

 Public Comment regarding NPI's Preservation Plan
 Bill Simon (Naperville - Naperville Preservation Inc.) discussed May as National
 Historic Preservation Month and in honor of the month Naperville Preservation
 Inc. published a document titled "Progress Through Preservation".

 City's Sustainability events and NEST meetings .
 Ted Bourlard (Naperville - NEST) discussed the recent compost event held on
 May 9, 2026, and upcoming events including the NEST monthly meeting on
 June 15, 2026, and a Styrofoam recycling event on July 18, 2026.

 Marilyn Schweitzer (Naperville) discussed how recent utility work within private
 easements are engineered, reviewed, and carried out by the City.

 Laura Leon (Naperville) is in support of the proposed due process ordinance.


 Council discussed the relationship between the City and the Naperville Park
 District, erosion control mats, the Build Act, appreciation to Naper Settlement
 for providing historical data on diverse residents who contributed to the success
 of the City for possible future street names, the lack of visual connectivity
 between Naper Settlement and the entrance to the Riverwalk and downtown
 Naperville, and a possible remote airport check-in pilot program for the I-88
 corridor.




 WRITTEN COMMENTS ONLY
 Steven Cushman (Naperville) I applaud Mayor Wehrli for providing comments
 that call out the Build Act HB 5626 for being about density, not affordability. I
City of Naperville Page 4 Printed on 6/3/2026
City Council Meeting Minutes - Final May 19, 2026

 have read the bill, as written, and it will completely change the character of
 municipalities in Illinois and oppose it. I ask all City council members to oppose
 this bill as written. I noted almost all sponsors/cosponsors are Chicago Illinois
 house members and have completely ignored that Illinois is more than Chicago.

 Steven Cushman (Naperville) I just completed the 2026 Naperville Community
 Survey. A disappointment is that no provision was made for residents to provide
 comments. Such comments are important in that they help provide a place for
 survey takers to provide nuance that just answering a predetermined question
 does not. Seems odd a polling firm would not include something so important. I
 think polls are excellent for use by government to get feedback but no provision
 for comments in a major deficiency in my opinion. Thank you.


H. CONSIDERATION OF MOTION TO USE OMNIBUS METHOD FOR THE
CONSENT AGENDA:
 A motion was made by Councilman White, seconded by Councilman Kelly, to use
 the Omnibus method to approve the Consent Agenda. The motion carried by a

 Mayor Wehrli recused himself and left the dais from 7:42 p.m. - 7:46 p.m.

 SPEAKER
 Marilyn Schweitzer (Naperville) expressed her concern about the financial
 arrangements between the City and North Central College for this project.


 Council discussed ensuring that North Central College would cover the costs of
 the entrance sign and historical elements, while the City would cover the costs
 of the park.

 Hynes stated that, within the bid for the project, the City will be responsible for
 installation of the sign foundation and electric service, while the remainder of the
 costs will be the responsibility of the College.
 A motion was made by Councilman White, seconded by Councilman Kelly, to
 approve the award of Bid 26-015, North Central College Riverwalk Park - 430 S.

O. REPORTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS:

1. Authorize the City Manager to increase the 2026 personnel headcount and hire two
 full-time Medical Billing Representatives in the Fire Department
 Puknaitis stated that this is a great opportunity for the City to handle its own
 billing for emergency medical services. This change will allow the Fire
 Department to eliminate the commission previously paid to a third-party billing
 service, resulting in an estimated annual savings of approximately $300,000. It
 also enables the City to provide improved service to organizations such as
 Medicare and other insurance companies.

2. Receive the Special Events and Community Arts (SECA) Grant Fund presentation and
 reach consensus on modifications to the SECA Policy and Procedures Manual
 SPEAKERS
 Judith Brodhead (Naperville) discussed the issues the Special Events and
 Community Arts (SECA) Commission addressed in preparation for the
 presentation, as well as the proposed new SECA mission.

 Marilyn Schweitzer (Naperville) discussed the lack of transparency with SECA's
 City Obligations and is requesting a review of the SECA grant process.


 Marcordes and Fiedler provided an overview of the SECA program, including
 how the program has evolved since its inception in 2004, what the program
 currently supports, and sought Council consideration and direction regarding
 the future funding of the Memorial Day Parade, the handling of change-of-scope
 requests, the development of a formal path to self-sufficiency for SECA
 applicants, and the standardization of parade operations. The SECA
 Commission will then update the SECA Policy and Procedures Manual, review
 the Mission Statement, and return to Council at a later date for formal approval.

City of Naperville Page 8 Printed on 6/3/2026
City Council Meeting Minutes - Final May 19, 2026




 Council inquired how the SECA allocation was increased to $2.5 million for
 CY26 and whether, with 36% of the Food and Beverage Fund allocated to
 SECA grants, consideration should be given to establishing a cap if the fund
 increases or decreases in the future. Council also discussed the history of
 operational funding versus City services, the proposed non-compliance policy,
 and the need for greater transparency regarding City obligations in the future.

 Munch stated that during the last budget process, the City evaluated several
 options regarding future funding for NCTV17, including increasing the annual
 allocation through SECA’s City Obligations. As a result, the SECA cap was
 increased to $2.5 million to accommodate that request. He noted that the
 funding level is a policy decision of the Council. The SECA cap also includes an
 annual increase of either 2% or the Consumer Price Index (CPI), whichever is
 less. Munch further stated that the balance between SECA funding and
 non-SECA uses within the Food and Beverage Fund has shifted, with
 obligations such as Police and Fire pensions, Social Service Grants, and debt
 service now exceeding the amount allocated to SECA grants. He added that if
 Food and Beverage tax revenues were to decline, which has not occurred since
 the COVID-19 pandemic, the City would reevaluate those percentages.
 However, based on the fund’s historical performance, staff does not currently
 anticipate that occurring.

 Decision Matrix and recommendations discussed during the presentation:

 #1 - The Memorial Day Parade as a City Obligation

 Council discussed adding additional cornerstone events as City Obligations.

 Recommendation: Council directed staff to return at a future date with a
 proposal to formalize an approach that would include the Memorial Day Parade
 as a City Obligation.

 #2 - Change of Scope

 Marcordes defined a change of scope as a substantive change to the purpose,
 nature, or scale of the primary components of a project that was originally
 approved by the Council.

 Council inquired whether there is a formal process for notifying Council when a
 change of scope is requested, particularly if funding is involved, and whether a
 proposed change of scope should first be reviewed by the SECA Commission
 before a recommendation is forwarded to Council. Council also asked how
 many change-of-scope requests the Commission receives annually and how
 event organizers formally notify the City of such changes. Additional discussion
 focused on the SECA Commission’s role in defining changes of scope as either
 major or minor modifications to help establish when additional Council input or
 approval would be required.

 Krieger stated that once a change of scope is forwarded to the Council, there

City of Naperville Page 9 Printed on 6/3/2026
City Council Meeting Minutes - Final May 19, 2026

 would be a review period. If any member of Council takes exception to the
 Commission’s intended action, the City Manager would be notified, and the item
 could be placed on the next Council agenda for further discussion and a formal
 vote.

 Marcordes stated there are approximately three to four change of scope
 requests per year. These requests are submitted directly to the Special Events
 Coordinator and then forwarded to the SECA Commission for review and
 recommendations.

 Recommendation Council concurred with the current process for handling
 change of scope requests and requested that the SECA Commission further
 define what constitutes a major change versus a minor change of request, and
 to outline how the process would be implemented going forward.

 #3 - Formalizing a path to self sufficiency

 Marcordes requested clarification on the extent to which SECA-funded initiatives
 should be expected to demonstrate progress toward long-term financial
 sustainability, and how that expectation should influence funding decisions over
 time.

 Council discussed that SECA was originally intended to provide seed funding to
 help launch events and projects, and considered whether operational support
 should gradually decrease over time as events become more established and
 self-sustaining. Council noted that when SECA was first established, events
 such as Ribfest and Last Fling generated profits that were reinvested into the
 community through nonprofit organizations, and inquired whether additional
 consideration should be given to events that similarly return proceeds to the
 community when evaluating SECA funding requests.

 Council also discussed that SECA-funded events and projects may not be
 suited to a one-size-fits-all approach, as some organizers may have limited
 ability to secure additional funding sources. Questions were raised about
 whether requiring increased self-sufficiency over time could result in the loss of
 certain events if organizers are unable to meet that expectation. Additional
 discussion focused on the need for greater clarity in defining long-term
 sustainability and whether more questions should be added to the grant
 application to better evaluate those considerations. Council further inquired how
 many event organizers pursue additional revenue sources, such as
 sponsorships or ticket sales, rather than hosting fully free events.

 Recommendation: Council requested that the SECA Commission consider
 adding a question to the grant application requiring applicants to describe their
 efforts to secure private donations and sponsorships to supplement SECA
 funding.

 Recommendation: Council suggested that events which include a charitable
 reinvestment component should be identified and potentially given additional
 weight or consideration in the evaluation process, as compared to events that
 do not reinvest their profits back into the community through charitable

 donations.

 #4 - Options for standardized parades

 This question has a direct impact on public safety, City services costs and how
 SECA funds are administered.

 Council inquired whether any input had been received from current parade
 organizers regarding proposed standardized parade routes, if the Police
 Department has any concerns with the City’s current approach to event safety
 and the standardization of parade routes, and discussed that if a standardized
 route is recommended, it should be shorter rather than longer.

 Marcordes stated that the Special Events Team has not yet engaged current
 parade organizers regarding a standardized route; however, their input will be
 sought based on Council direction. Marcordes further noted that the next step in
 the process for the anti-vehicle barrier system would be to coordinate with the
 City’s Finance Department on issuing a Request for Proposals (RFP) for
 inclusion in the CY28 budget process.

 Zbrozek stated that a vehicle attack is one of the City’s primary safety concerns
 for events, and noted that the proposed anti-vehicle barrier system would serve
 as a strong additional layer of protection to enhance overall event safety and
 establishing a standardized parade route would benefit the City and also help
 standardize associated costs, particularly those related to event safety planning
 and implementation.

 Recommendation: Council directed staff to engage in discussions with parade
 organizers regarding the establishment of a standardized parade route,
 determine the costs associated with the purchase of anti-vehicle barriers, and
 report back to Council at a future meeting.


 WRITTEN COMMENT ONLY
 Richard Gannon (Naperville) Background: I’ve been a member of Naperville’s
 SECA Commission since May 2022. The following comment represents my
 personal view and not the view of the SECA Commission as a whole.
 Comment: I’ve reviewed the policy recommendations regarding SECA that have
 been submitted to City Council for your consideration and possible action. My
 concern focuses on the recommendation dealing with SECA’s Change of
 Scope Request Process. I should note that I have expressed this concern
 during SECA Commission meetings. Presently, applicants are allowed to
 approach the Commission and submit changes to the scope of their
 events/projects for its approval. I understand that at times applicants need to do
 so for good reason. If done prior to the SECA Commission submitting a unified
 funding recommendation to the City Council for approval, there is no problem.
 The applicant would be required to submit a revised application/proposal.
 However, the SECA Commission does occasionally receive Change of Scope


City of Naperville Page 11 Printed on 6/3/2026
City Council Meeting Minutes - Final May 19, 2026

 Requests later in time, even following City Council’s approval of the applicant’s
 award. It is important to remember that the award amount is based upon the
 SECA Commission’s unified recommendation which, in turn, is based upon the
 written proposal submitted originally by the applicant. First, there appears to be
 no language in the SECA Grant Fund Program Award Agreement that
 addresses Change of Scope. To summarize, Article 1, A. Scope/Compensation
 of the Award Agreement states that the City will reimburse the applicant for the
 project “described in Grantee’s approved SECA Grant Fund Program
 application…” One could argue that the SECA Commission currently doesn’t
 have the authority to consider an applicant’s Change of Scope Request. I
 believe it would be beneficial to add language addressing Change of Scope,
 including the procedure to be followed. SECA’s Policy and Procedures Manual
 would then be revised to align with that language in the Agreement. Second, I
 have a concern about what constitutes Change of Scope and how the SECA
 Commission determines whether or not such changes are acceptable once
 funding has been approved. I recognize that some degree of subjectivity enters
 into this discussion and that each member of the SECA Commission decides
 for himself/herself what is acceptable and what is not. The document submitted
 to you tonight notes that Change of Scope, in part, includes:
 “Changes that affect the primary audience, format, or core deliverables of the
 funded project…”
 Later, the document states that certain changes are not considered Change of
 Scope:
 • Change of venue within Naperville;
 • Adjustment of event date or time;
 • Minor adjustments to programming or event components;
 • Vendor substitutions or operational adjustments; or
 • Cost reductions or reallocations made to align with the awarded funding
 amount.
 Regarding change of venue or adjustment of event date or time, I recognize that
 these changes may not negatively affect the benefit the event/project brings to
 Naperville but they need to be reviewed and approved. Consider how such
 changes might affect those events that require city services and the estimate
 that the city services team provides. Consider how such changes might have a
 negative impact upon another applicant’s event/project if we create a conflict by
 allowing the change to happen. Minor adjustments to programming or event
 components. What defines whether the adjustment is minor? What
 adjustments do or do not compromise the “primary audience, format, or core
 deliverables” of the project? And, finally, cost reductions or reallocations made
 to align with the awarded funding amount. I have serious reservations about
 accepting such changes. As a Commission member, I base my personal
 funding recommendation upon what the applicant proposes to do in its
 application. It constitutes the value proposition. Allowing the applicant to change
 its event/project in order to sync with the amount of the grant is a disruption of
 the value proposition. I’m certain that with some Change of Scope Requests I
 would not have and have not valued the revised event/project to the same
 degree as I did the originally proposed. If the changes are significant, it follows


City of Naperville Page 12 Printed on 6/3/2026
City Council Meeting Minutes - Final May 19, 2026

 that the amount awarded should also be reconsidered and the Award
 Agreement amended, if needed. Allowing such Change of Scope requests also
 ends up being an enabling action. No applicant should come before the SECA
 Commission and expect full funding. The applicant should recognize that given
 what is known about the total dollar amount of funding requests and the dollar
 amount made available to the SECA Commission for funding recommendations
 each funding cycle. Allowing an applicant to deliver less than what it proposed
 and still be able to claim reimbursement up to the original award amount
 conceivably gives that applicant an opportunity to approach full funding.
 Furthermore, I believe the City Council wants the SECA Commission to stress
 to our applicants the need to find additional sources of funding beyond SECA.
 The burden is on the applicant to deliver what it promises to deliver, and the fact
 that it has not received full funding for its event/project from the City should not
 be acceptable as a reason to make changes. Thank you for your consideration.




 The meeting recessed from 9:19 p.m. to 9:25 p.m.

3. Receive the report and provide direction as to the special study to be initiated by the
 Planning Team in 2026
 SPEAKER
 Marilyn Schweitzer (Naperville) discussed concerns regarding the City selecting
 only one special planning project per year and expressed support for the 5th
 Avenue study project.

 Council discussed the need for affordable housing within both the 5th Avenue
 and I-88 Corridor projects, establishing zoning and land-use plans for the I-88
 Corridor so the Naperville Development Partnership’s (NDP) work aligns with
 Council and community priorities, and ensuring the 5th Avenue project remains
 a future priority. Council also discussed the appropriate use of tax dollars for
 both projects, the People Over Parking Act, new businesses and future housing
 developments already located or committed to the I-88 Corridor, and inquired
 about the economic impact and return on investment for both projects.

 Krieger stated that there are many factors to consider when evaluating a
 project’s economic impact, with property taxes being only one component.
 Other considerations include sales tax revenue, job creation, and impacts on
 local school districts. He noted that the most recent study found the zoning
 within the area to be outdated, which staff has also observed through recent
 development proposals. In general, staff is recommending that the City focus on
 the I-88 Corridor in 2026. While the benefits may not be immediate, staff
 believes that dedicating time and funding to the I-88 Corridor project will provide
 the greatest long-term investment for the City.

 WRITTEN COMMENTS ONLY
 Signe C Gleeson (Naperville) Thank you to Mr. DiSanto and city staff for their
 comprehensive report. I am gratified that staff determined that the Ordinance is
 not in violation of a federal law and is in fact supported by the 10 Amendment of
 the US Constitution. I want to address 2 of the issues raised in the report - 1)
 The ordinance is symbolic in nature. I do not argue with that contention. I would
 argue that symbols are powerful ways to create unity within a county and
 community - the flag, the cross, "moments of silence" are all meaningful and
 honorable symbols. Likewise, a "symbolic" ordinance speaks to the power,
 effectiveness and values of our community in the face of assaults on the dignity
 and sense of security and safety of Naperville residents, especially the most
 vulnerable. Because the authority of the city is limited does not absolve our city
 leaders from taking meaningful action that demonstrates support of immigrant
 neighbors. - 2) Documentation of violations of the ordinance is in keeping with
 the IL Trust Act which requires an annual report of contact with federal
 immigration officers to the IL attorney general. I urge the council to direct the
 staff to prepare for the first reading of the ordinance and for adoption of the
 ordinance.

 Payton Reicherts (Naperville) As a member of this community, I believe this
 ordinance reflects our city’s core values of People, Trust, Respect, and Pride -
 and I ask for your support. Even as a white person, I have seen how the
 community in Naperville has been greatly affected by the presence of
 Immigration Enforcement Agents. Being out in public means that fear is always
 present. I have seen ICE agents in the community and have had to worry about
 something happening even if it didn’t happen to me. My business has seen less
 people when ICE is more active. While it does not fix everything, if the Naperville
 Due Process and Municipal Property Ordinance can make things even a little bit
 safer, our community will prosper.


 Lisa Polsby (Naperville) This ordinance will support the Constitution of the
 United States, help our citizens especially those whose skin tones are black
 and brown and will help our community support the Rule of Law. It will promote
 accountability for ICE agents who break the law and prevent them from having
 extra assistance in harming our neighbors and disrupting our community.

 Anne Swanson (Naperville) Dear Mayor Wehrli and Members of the Naperville
 City Council: I am writing to urge the Naperville City Council to adopt the
 Naperville Due Process and Municipal Property Ordinance. As a member of this
 community, I believe this ordinance reflects the city’s core values of People,
 Trust, Respect and Pride. I both work with and have several friends who feel
 threatened with the current Federal ICE activity. Though that activity has
 lessened since last fall, it is still happening. These are good people who work
 hard and benefit the Naperville community. They should not feel threatened

City Council Meeting Minutes - Final May 19, 2026

 when they are in public places, especially on municipal property. The proposed
 Due Process and Municipal Property Ordinance would affirm Naperville’s
 commitment to constitutional rights, including due process protections under
 the 1st, 4th and 14th Amendments. City staff has reviewed the proposed
 ordinance and found that it does not conflict with the Supremacy Clause of the
 United States Constitution. It would let those who live in Naperville feel more at
 ease and protected against unreasonable searches. Please support the
 Naperville Due Process and Municipal Property Ordinance. Thank you for your
 service and for taking these comments into consideration when voting.and

 Julie Niles (Naperville) Dear Mayor Werhli and City Council - Please consider
 options 1, 2, or 3 described in the Staff Report File #26-0614, that will be
 included in the 5/19/26 City Council agenda. Report title: Receive staff report
 regarding the proposed “Naperville Due Process and Municipal Property
 Ordinance, consider the options set forth regarding local action on federal
 immigration enforcement activities, and provide direction to staff." Federal
 agents have proven through their actions that they will disregard constitutional
 rights, disrespect property, and apprehend people who are actively complying
 with legal requirements (e.g.,carrying a passport or proper papers, showing up
 for court dates to keep their status current). Agents' likely increase in activities
 with the warmer weather warrants Naperville making it publicly and officially
 clear that it stands for constitutional rights, due process, and protection of its
 municipal property.

 Linda M Rodriguez (Naperville) Dear Mayor Wehrli and Council Members, I am
 writing to urge the Naperville City Council to adopt the Naperville Due Process
 and Municipal Property Ordinance. As a member of this community for more
 than twenty years, I believe this ordinance reflects our city’s core values of
 People, Trust, Respect, and Pride, and I ask for your support. Why This Matters
 to Me Personally: For more than twenty years, Naperville has been my home,
 the place where I’ve raised my family, built relationships, and contributed to the
 community. In recent years, I’ve seen how uncertainty around immigration
 enforcement creates fear and confusion, not only for immigrants but also for
 neighbors, coworkers, and families who simply want to feel safe in their daily
 lives. When people do not know what to expect, trust erodes. This ordinance
 helps restore that trust by ensuring our city operates with clarity, fairness, and
 respect for everyone who lives and works here. What I am asking the Council to
 support: The proposed ordinance would:
 • Affirm Naperville’s commitment to constitutional rights, including due process
 protections under the First, Fourth, and Fourteenth Amendments.

City of Naperville Page 16 Printed on 6/3/2026
City Council Meeting Minutes - Final May 19, 2026

 • Clarify how City-owned property and resources, including buildings, parking
 lots, parks, and facilities, may be used in the context of civil immigration
 enforcement activities.
 • Help ensure City personnel and resources remain focused on local
 responsibilities, consistent with the Illinois TRUST Act and Illinois Way Forward
 Act.
 • Provide guidance to City departments regarding documentation and reporting
 procedures involving City property.
 • Maintain compliance with federal and state law, including allowing access
 when a valid judicial warrant or court order is presented.
 • Operate within the City’s authority over municipal property and resources
 without interfering with federal immigration enforcement. This ordinance is
 about clarity, consistency, transparency, and ensuring that all Naperville
 residents can trust that their city government is operating with clear and
 accountable policy. I respectfully urge you to move this ordinance forward.
 Thank you for your service to our community and for considering my
 comments.

 Laura (Naperville) I am writing to urge the Naperville City Council to adopt the
 Naperville Due Process and Municipal Property Ordinance. As a 13-year
 Naperville resident, a mother, a volunteer with district’s dual language program,
 and a co-founder of ALMAS, the Alliance of Latinos Motivating Action in the
 Suburbs, I have spent years building the kind of community this city aspires to
 be. This ordinance reflects that work, and I am here to ask this Council to match
 it. I chose Naperville because of its commitment to inclusion and the belief that
 every person who lives, works, or learns here belongs. A truly global city earns
 that title by how it treats its most vulnerable and this ordinance is how we do
 that. Naperville has always been a city that leads with heart. Mayor Emeritus
 George Pradel, our beloved Officer Friendly, built his entire legacy on the belief
 that every person in this community deserves to feel safe and welcomed. This
 ordinance honors that same spirit. Right now, families and employees in our
 community are living with real uncertainty - uncertain whether they can trust
 public spaces, attend school events, or simply go about their lives without fear.
 That uncertainty has a cost. It weakens the fabric of a city that so many people
 have worked hard to strengthen. This ordinance is a clear, lawful, and
 measured step. It does not interfere with federal law. It affirms constitutional
 protections that apply to everyone. It clarifies how our city’s own property and
 resources may be used, something municipalities have every right to define. It
 is the kind of policy that says: we see you, you are part of us, and this city will
 act accordingly. I urge the Council to adopt the Naperville Due Process and
 Municipal Property Ordinance and to demonstrate, once again, that Naperville is
 a city where all who live and work here can do so with dignity. Thank you for
 your service and for considering my comments.

 Rebecca Klein-Collins (Naperville) I have lived in Naperville since 2003. I’m
 writing today to urge the City Council to adopt the Naperville Due Process and
 Municipal Property Ordinance. Naperville prides itself on being a welcoming
 community. To live up to that value, we must ensure that all residents and
 visitors receive due process consistent with the U.S. Constitution. In the last
 year or so, there have been troubling reports (and video evidence) of federal
 enforcement actions by ICE and CBP that raise civil rights concerns-particularly

City of Naperville Page 17 Printed on 6/3/2026
City Council Meeting Minutes - Final May 19, 2026

 when actions appear to proceed without judicial warrants or probable cause.
 Adopting this ordinance would send a clear message to our immigrant
 neighbors that we value their contributions and that the City will not facilitate
 enforcement actions against law abiding individuals on municipal property
 without appropriate legal process. I appreciate the staff report indicating that the
 ordinance does not conflict with federal law and is aligned with the Illinois
 TRUST Act. Please schedule a formal hearing on the Naperville Due Process
 and Municipal Property Ordinance and vote to approve it at an upcoming
 meeting. Thank you for your service and for considering my comments.

 Theresa Hus (Naperville) I’m writing in support of the proposed Naperville Due
 Process and Municipal Property Ordinance. Like many families in Naperville, my
 husband’s and my ancestors arrived in this country as immigrants, some with
 legal status and others in more uncertain circumstances. Three of our four sets
 of grandparents spoke different languages. They came for different reasons, but
 each hoped to build a better life. They found communities that treated them with
 kindness and dignity, and although they had little formal education and spoke
 broken English, they worked hard, raised families, and contributed to this
 country. That history is part of why I care so deeply about ensuring that
 everyone in our community, regardless of immigration status, is treated with the
 same respect that helped our families thrive. I’ve also worked with refugee
 families and tutored immigrants in ESL. I’ve seen how much people want to
 contribute, how hard they work, and how fear or uncertainty can keep them from
 reporting crimes, seeking help, or fully participating in the community . Policies
 that reinforce trust and clarity truly make a difference. This ordinance is a
 reasonable and lawful step. It affirms constitutional rights, clarifies the use of
 City property, and aligns with the Illinois TRUST Act and Way Forward Act,
 which Naperville already follows. It does not interfere with federal immigration
 enforcement; it just ensures our municipal resources are used consistently with
 state law and with the values we say we uphold. For me, this is about who we
 are as a city. Naperville prides itself on being welcoming and safe. This
 ordinance reflects those values and provides clarity for staff and reassurance
 for residents. I respectfully ask you to adopt the Naperville Due Process and
 Municipal Property Ordinance.

 Rebecca Hinrichs Glimco (Naperville) I am writing to urge the Naperville City
 Council to adopt the Naperville Due Process and Municipal Property Ordinance.
 As a member of this community, I believe this ordinance reflects our city’s core
 values of People, Trust, Respect, and Pride - and I ask for your support. Mayor
 Wehrli and City Council members, I respect your commitment to keep our city
 safe and to follow the rule of law. As someone with family members in
 Minnesota who saw the devastation of their communities by ICE and Customs
 and Border Enforcement overstepping the rights of the people. I trust you will
 protect our community by adopting this Ordinance. We are a community that
 cares for all and I hope you continue to show that by your support of this
 ordinance. What I am asking the Council to support: The proposed ordinance
 would:
 * Affirm Naperville’s commitment to constitutional rights, including due process
 protections under the 1st, 4th, and 14th Amendments.
 * Clarify how City-owned property and resources, including buildings, parking
 lots, parks, and facilities, may be used in the context of civil immigration

 enforcement activities.
 * Help ensure City personnel and resources remain focused on local
 responsibilities, consistent with the Illinois TRUST Act and Illinois Way Forward
 Act.
 * Provide guidance to City departments regarding documentation and reporting
 procedures involving City property.
 * Maintain compliance with federal and state law, including allowing access
 when a valid judicial warrant or court order is presented.
 * Operate within the City’s authority over municipal property and resources
 without interfering with federal immigration enforcement. This ordinance is

 Elisabeth Pynn Himmelman (Naperville) I am writing to urge the Naperville City
 Council to adopt the Naperville Due Process and Municipal Property Ordinance.
 As a member of this community, I believe this ordinance reflects our city’s core
 values of People, Trust, Respect, and Pride - and I ask for your support. Why
 This Matters to Me Personally: As a resident of Naperville, I have always been
 proud to call this city home because of the values we claim to uphold: People,
 Trust, Respect, and Pride. Those values are not just words on a website or
 ideas we mention at public events - they shape how neighbors care for one
 another and how we choose to build community together. I am writing to urge
 the Naperville City Council to adopt the Naperville Due Process and Municipal
 Property Ordinance because I believe it reflects those values in meaningful and
 practical ways. Like many people in our community, I want to live in a city where
 every person is treated with dignity, where families can feel safe participating in
 daily life, and where trust between residents and local government is
 strengthened rather than weakened. Naperville has long been a place where
 people from different backgrounds come together to build lives, raise families,
 contribute to schools, churches, businesses, and neighborhoods, and care for
 one another. Policies grounded in due process and fairness help ensure that all
 members of our community are treated with respect and that municipal
 resources remain focused on serving the public good. Supporting this
 ordinance is one way we can demonstrate that Naperville’s values are more
 than aspirational - they are commitments we are willing to live out. I respectfully
 ask you to vote in support of the Naperville Due Process and Municipal Property
 Ordinance. What I am asking the Council to support: The proposed ordinance
 would: Affirm Naperville’s commitment to constitutional rights, including due
 process protections under the 1st, 4th, and 14th Amendments. Clarify how

 Jessica Doucette (Naperville) I am writing to urge the Naperville City Council to
 adopt the Naperville Due Process and Municipal Property Ordinance. As a
 member of this community, I believe this ordinance reflects our city’s core
 values of People, Trust, Respect, and Pride - and I ask for your support. Why
 This Matters to Me: I am a 4th generation Naperville resident raising a 5th
 generation in Naperville. This city has benefited from the labor of immigrants
 since Joe Naper stopped by the DuPage River. In that time, the process to
 become a citizen has become arduous, expensive, and time consuming. And
 frankly, racist with quotas. My neighbors from other countries contribute to our
 success as a community and consistently uphold the values we claim we hold
 dear. We should be honoring that by doing everything in our power as a
 community to preserve their rights and refuse to cooperate with federal entities
 that are operating beyond the scope the law allows. Due process is for
 everyone. What I am asking the Council to support:The proposed ordinance
 would:
 • Affirm Naperville’s commitment to constitutional rights, including due process
 protections under the 1st, 4th, and 14th Amendments.
 • Clarify how City-owned property and resources, including buildings, parking
 lots, parks, and facilities, may be used in the context of civil immigration

 values of People, Trust, Respect, and Pride - and I ask for your support.
 Growing up in District 203, I saw, through the lens of a child, different racial
 groups experience social friction due to world events. And while there was a
 sense of relief and resolution when the focus was targeted elsewhere, that
 mindset was inaccurate. Because, as you see the world through the lens of an


City of Naperville Page 20 Printed on 6/3/2026
City Council Meeting Minutes - Final May 19, 2026

 adult, you realize hate is a mindset that can shift at any time to anyone. When
 there is ambiguity about procedures, there will be fear about how far someone's
 hate can reach. The proposed ordinance would:
 - Affirm Naperville’s commitment to constitutional rights, including due process
 protections under the 1st, 4th, and 14th Amendments.- Clarify how City-owned
 property and resources, including buildings, parking lots, parks, and facilities,
 may be used in the context of civil immigration enforcement activities.

 A motion was made by Councilman Kelly, seconded by Councilman White, to
 receive the staff report concerning the proposed “Naperville Due Process and
