City Council Meeting Minutes December 15, 2020

 My name is Gary D. Smith and I am the Chairperson of the Accessible
 Community Task Force and am speaking tonight on behalf of the Task Force.
 The Task Forces mission is to enhance the lives of people with disabilities
 residing in, working in or visiting the City of Naperville. Consistent with our
 mission, the Task Force supports the passing of the revised ordinance creating
 the Human Rights and Fair Housing Commission with one recommended
 change. Under Section 2-5-2 Membership of the proposed ordinance it states
 "The Commission shall be broadly representative of the City's population and
 shall include members of Naperville's minority communities" The Task Force
 supports that membership requirement. However, it is our suggestion that
 Chapter 2 under definitions adds the definition of minorities as one of the
 definitions indicated. Specifically the Task Force would like to see the added
 definition include people with disabilities as one of the defined minority
 communities, particularly as they are often discriminated against when it comes
 to accessible housing options. Thank you for your consideration of this change
 prior to your passing to adopt this proposed ordinance.

 Tim (Naperville Resident)
 Last meeting there was emotional input from the public over mask mandate. It
 was clear this was a hot topic but the reaction of a council member who called
 comments “unbelievable” and indicated comments were short sighted was
 disappointing and showed contempt towards citizens. The proposed ordinance
 was not crystal clear, just like the comment that masks should be worn if 6ft
 distance cannot be maintained. An important factor in this is residence time
 which is why Dupage Health Department focuses on 15 min exposure for their
 contact tracing. The real question was what was the marginal risk/reward of this
 specific mandate. Besides, this mandate already exists for stores, restaurants,
 public transportation, etc. Aside from static crowd gatherings, there is little
 incremental benefit for this public mandate while there is considerable risk of
 alienating people from visiting downtown. In addition, dissension will rise as both
 citizens and police try to enforce the mandate. This redundant, government
 power ordinance has similar traits to one of tonight’s topic, replacing current
 Housing Advisory Commission with a Human Rights and Fair Housing
 Commission. There are already Federal, State and Local laws in place for this
 purpose and there has been very small number of issues if any of
 discriminatory activity. The power of this commission will be large and most
 likely it will grow beyond property transactions, to all businesses. Affirmative
 action-like techniques will be used and businesses will need to prove they are
 NOT guilty much like an IRS audit. What this commission will accomplish is
 creating aversion to operating a business or multi-unit residence in Naperville.
 Ironically, those that support this type of government authority are the ones that
 are critical of over-policing.

2. Consider two options concerning regulation of conflicts of interest:

 OPTION 1: Pass the ordinance amending the Naperville Municipal Code’s regulation of
 conflicts of interest

 OPTION 2: Direct staff to include access, via the City of Naperville website, to City
 Councilmember Campaign Committee Contribution reports on file with the Illinois Board
 of Elections
 COMMENTS TO BE READ BY STAFF
 Dick Page
 I strongly support Option 1 of the proposed amendment to the Conflict of
 Interest Ordinance. Money in the form of campaign contributions plays far too
 large a role in political decisions at the State and Federal levels, and causes a
 loss of confidence in our electoral and legislative institutions. The proposed
 Option 1 would serve to emphasize that Naperville's City government operates
 in a fair, open and accountable manner. Please support Option 1.

 Karen V. Peck
 I am in support of Item 20-1360-B, the Conflict-of-Interest Ordinance, Options 1.
 Disclosure of donations of more than $$500 dollars by the City of Naperville
 Council members is a commitment to accountability and transparency.
 Constituents need to know of any conflicts of interest or possible donor
 influence on votes or if a Councilperson has taken money from an organization
 that goes against a Constituent’s values. This is the ethical thing to do. Not
 supporting voluntary disclosure makes one wonder what is being veiled. There
 is no downside to City Council members voluntarily disclosing if they received
 donations that are relevant to the topic being voted on, and to abstain if there is
 a conflict of interest or any possibility of quid pro quo. Karen V. Peck Naperville

 The Diedrichsens
 We support the ethics resolution spearheaded by Councilwoman Sullivan.
 Adopting her resolution establishes a higher bar for Naperville and shows a
 willingness to govern fairly. It's purpose would be to protect the council
 members as much as it would assure their transparency. Establishing trust in
 our leaders is more important now than it has ever been. What one city leader
 does while serving, reflects on all. Establishing clear rules for those elected in
 the future can only be helpful. Councilwoman Sullivan’s proposal continues a
 reform former Councilwoman Anderson thought important enough to initiate
 before she left office. We agreed with Becky Anderson then, and we agree with
 Councilwoman Sullivan’s proposal now. It moves Naperville in the right
 direction. Respectfully, The Diedrichsens

 Lucy Evans
 Please support the Conflict-of-Interest Ordinance Item 20-1360-B. If you care
 about transparency and responsible government officials, you will vote for this
 ordinance.

 Lynn Gosselin
 I support the Conflict of Interest ordinance. While the information is publicly
 available, putting together who has business before city council with their donor
 history is not an easy task for the average resident. This ordinance increases
 transparency and restores confidence in government

 Mark Urda
 I strongly support Option 1 to pass the ordinance amending the Naperville
 Municipal Code's regulation of conflict of interest. The ordinance clearly sets a
 $$500 contribution limit "from any Interested Entity" and "an “Interested Entity” is
 defined as any individual person, organization, union, partnership,
 proprietorship, firm or corporation who is a petitioner; Public Participant; or
 agent or representative of a petitioner or Public Participant, concerning an
 agenda item pending before the City Council." In no way "is picking winners and
 losers" the outcome of this ordinance as as stated by Councilman Coyne in his
 recent Patch article. Do not be misled by this interpretation since unions and
 organizations are explicitly listed and organizations covers "political parties, or
 partisan campaign accounts". I support transparency in all council matters and
 ask for your support to pass this ordinance.

 James Laures
 Annually Gallup asks Americans to rate the honesty and ethics of various
 professions. In its most recent poll that was released in January 2020, 85% of
 Americans said nurses' honesty and ethical standards were "very high" or
 "high,” the highest of any listed profession, while only 9% of Americans said car
 salespeople’s honesty and ethical standards were "very high" or "high,” the
 lowest of any listed profession. Politicians did somewhat better that car
 salespeople. The ratings of State (governors) and national politicians (Senators
 and Members of Congress) were at 20%, 13% and 12%, respectively. Gallup’s
 most recent rating for local office holders, like Naperville City Council members,
 was 24% in Dec 2017. What are the takeaways from this poll? First, Americans
 value honesty and ethical behavior. Second, Americans generally don’t believe
 that politicians are very honest or ethical. How do we change American’s views
 of politicians as not very honest or ethical? We start by combining Options 1
 and 2 into the proposed “Conflict of Interest Amendment Ordinance.” Next, we
 significantly expand the proposed ordinance to include Members of the City
 Leadership Team, in addition to City Council Members, and to include all family
 members residing in the same household as the City Council Member and City
 Leadership Team Members. Thank you. James Laures

 1.

 Marilyn Schweitzer spoke in favor of Option 2.

 Council discussed traditional campaign contributions, that an ordinance will
 capture smaller/local donors and ignore larger issues, that this is a divisive
 issue, campaign costs, the need for government transparency, and the
 appropriateness of making amendments to the Code. Council also stated that
 relations on the dais have become political, that every vote should not be under
 suspicion, what is the appropriate dollar amount for disclosure, the number of
 current donations that are $500 or greater, the process to identify conflicts, that
 local government can be held to a higher standard of accountability, that the
 ordinance doesn’t change campaign finance law, and that the change will
 provide a path of trust for the public.

 Council concluded the discussion by debating raising the contribution threshold
 to $750 to mitigate the number of disclosures, the need to streamline the
 process, the change will set a good example for other governments where
 ethical problems exist, that the change will not apply to boards and
 commissions, and the impact on future Council candidates.

 Enactment No.: ORD 20-144
 A motion was made by Councilwoman Sullivan, seconded by Councilwoman
 Brodhead, to pass the ordinance amending the Naperville Municipal Code’s

 committee contribution reports on file with the Illinois Board of Elections on the
 City’s website. The motion carried by the following vote:

 Preservation Commission and approve COA #20-3281 permitting the stone applied over
 the existing brick at the base of the primary façade at 219 North Ellsworth Street, which
 was installed without an approved COA, to remain in place.

 Option B: Concur with the Historic Preservation Commission and deny Petitioners’
 request to overturn the Historic Preservation Commission’s denial of COA #20-3281,
 thereby requiring the stone applied over the existing brick at the base of the primary
 façade at 219 North Ellsworth Street, which was installed without an approved COA, to be
 removed.
 COMMENTS TO BE READ BY STAFF
 George Howard
 Honorable Council Members: The item seeks to overturn a decision by HPC to
 deny residential building facade alteration work at 219 N. Ellsworth. This is
 another example of a homeowner seeking forgiveness rather than initially
 seeking approval for work requiring a building permit and COA in the historic
 district. I believe the homeowner would have known upon purchase that the
 property was within the historic district and had unique requirements for making
 exterior alterations. Feigning ignorance by the petitioner should not be allowed
 and rewarded by city council. The respective fines should be assessed upon
 the homeowner and the appeal denied. Please select Option B to concur with
 the HPC decision and deny petitioners request. Thank you, George Howard

 Philip Buchanan
 I support the Council members vote for Option B., to support the Historic
 Preservation Commission denial of COA #20-3281, removal of the stone
 applied over the existing brick of the primary façade of 219 North Ellsworth St.

 Susan Fitch
 I am requesting that you approve Option B to Concur with the HPC on this
 matter and uphold their denial of the COA. The petitioner appears to have
 owned the property since 2017 and performed work at the property that would
 have flagged the project as requiring a COA had they pulled a permit. Since it
 was not flagged, I am assuming that they did not pull a permit for their work. The
 only way the Historic District is protected is if the City enforces the ordinance
 that guides the HPC. I have stood before Council before imploring you to
 support the HPC and the District to ensure their integrity, I do so again this
 evening by way of these comments. I would also encourage the City to explore
 means of notifying residents that a property is in the Historic District. It could be
 recorded on deeds, Real Estate Agents could be required to provide the
 information to purchasers but there should not be any opportunity for an owner
 to claim ignorance of a property being in the District. In this instance after 3
 years and given all of the attention to properties in the District over the past 12
 months it is impossible that this owner was unaware. Thank you for your
 service and consideration.

 Joseph and Courtney Alvarez (Petitioners) explained the HPC decision, the
 timeline of events, and spoke in favor of Option A.
