City Council Meeting Minutes - Final August 15, 2023

 Janice F Guider (Naperville) spoke against ticketing students by the Police
 Department.

 July NEST Community Meeting
 Susan Greenwood (Naperville) discussed topics from the July meeting
 including, but not limited to, bikeability, walkability, solar energy, recycling, and
 gas powered lawn equipment.

 3 minutes with NEST
 Jeff Gross (Naperville - NEST) discussed transitioning from coal generated
 power to clean energy.

 Council inquired about an Illinois bill lifting the moratorium on construction of
 nuclear power plants that the governor vetoed.

 Krieger stated that he will speak to the City's lobbyist and explained that the
 governor cited safety and ancillary matters related to nuclear power.

 Police ticketing students
 Maryann Sprinkle-Walker (Naperville) spoke against ticketing students by the
 Police Department.

 Enforcing parking regs. and issues with signage
 Glenn Sharkey (Naperville) informed Council that he is getting emails that are
 spam but look like they are being sent from the City and discussed the process
 for reporting overnight parking violations.

 Arres explained that an officer is sent to ticket the vehicle when a complaint is
 received. He also clarified that the person reporting the vehicle does not need
 to be present when the officer arrives.

 Ticketing
 Kijuana Boulrece (Aurora; DuPage NAACP education Advocate) spoke against
 ticketing and suggested policy changes.

 Council discussed examining the current ticketing process with the school
 district and the need to clarify misinformation.

 Arres discussed the call he had with the speaker, that officers do not like citing
 students as a first option, that at 18 years old the students are adults, and a
 citation is preferred over a state charge. He went on to explain that the
 number of citations is extremely low, specifically stating that eight tickets in
 total were given for the entire school year in both districts and those tickets
 were given to students 18 years of age.

 Boulrece discussed that this is a state issue, that the role of the NAACP is to
 help parents and work with those who make decisions on behalf of children.

 Council stated it is pleased to know that issuing citations is extremely rare and
 used as a last resort, that the City and schools need to continue the
 discussion, and assured the speakers that everyone is taking the matter

 seriously.

 POSITION STATEMENT
 Zoey Bishop (Naperville) - SUPPORT - school policing/in support of Amara

 WRITTEN COMMENT ONLY
 Debra D Jordan (Naperville) - Comment for public record: Justice has been
 served in the Amara Harris case. As a citizen of Naperville, parent and
 grandparent, I hope that we will make changes at the Naperville School District
 Levels (D203 and D204) as well as at the local government/police level, to
 avoid unjust actions like this in the future. The mental and emotional state of
 our youth is at risk because of how we, as adults, are managing situations. The
 job of the police is to protect and serve: Who did you protect in this situation?
 No one!

 Glenn Sharkey (Naperville) - Volunteering W/Naperville govt and community. -
 I would like to discuss City Signage, speed bumps and/or changing the speed
 limit from 25 to 15, cars left on the street over-night (we have called several
 times about this), being a disabled person people OFTEN part across the
 sidewalks, making it extremely difficult me and other disabled persons in my
 community to pass, Neighborhood watch program, and other resident safety
 issues. I would like to be on record and be directed to the appropriate people to
 discuss this with. I have met/spoke to many of the different departments and
 either do not get replies or state it cant be done, with no explanation. The
 above items are extremely important to me as I see way TOO MANY close
 calls with cars and children. There is 1 spot/curve on Stonewater Drive where
 drivers just cannot see around the corner and wind up slamming on their
 brakes due to their rate of speed. Full disclosure, I am a 21 year military retiree
 (1998) and rated @90% disabled. I am fully retired since 2017 since I retired
 (due to medical reasons) from my other civilian job. I have several health
 conditions, which the HINES VA has helped me with tremendously, to a point
 where I believe I can be able to join a council with all of the council and
 department meetings to volunteer for. Lastly, though I did spend 12 years with
 the Westmont Emergency Agency as a Captain, I had to stop due to my
 medical conditions. Please put me in touch with someone I can discuss options
 with. Thank you and I will be there at tonight's meeting; Please do not cancel
 my request to speak, which I previously submitted.

 Robin J Vannoy (Naperville) - Police ticketing of students - I would like to
 express my opposition to police ticketing students for infractions that can be
 handled through the school’s disciplinary process. As a dean of students, I
 understand the complexity of keeping the school environment safe while
 protecting the rights of students. I also understand that the School to Prison
 pipeline is real and that there are inequities in disciplinary practices. The
 decision to issue a citation is a subjective one and can have serious
 implications for a young person. I question the outcome of issuing citations,
 other than a student entering the penile system too soon and undue financial
 hardships for families. Unless it is a serious crime that warrants an arrest, such
 as violence with a weapon, the school can handle disciplinary infractions.

 Cook, and Will NAACP - Further Investigation on Police in school tickets - The
 NAACP strongly condemns and calls for further investigation and action
 regarding the misuse of Police as revenue gathering agents, ensuring
 punishment and shame, in the Naperville Schools. The manner in which Amara
 Harris has been, seemingly still is being, treated is horrendous and not in
 keeping with a community positing that it is open, welcoming and affirming to
 all. The NAACP requests a community involved and informed effort to assist
 with more appropriated, not lending to prejudicial personal biases, creation of
 means to assist trained and licensed school professional in ensuring school
 community norming and discipline. Amara Harris fought the good and heroic
 fight to clear her name, yet a spokesperson, speaking on behalf of the City of
 Naperville, could not and would not in The Press extend an apology, but chose
 to utter words casting Amara Harris' character in further doubt.

 Zoey Bishop (Naperville) - School Policing /Justice for Amara - Subject School
 policing /In support of Amara and asking for an investigation of this matter.

 Patricia Ann Watson (Barrington Hills) - Former Naperville Fair Housing
 Commission Member and Chair, soon to be returning to FT Naperville
 Residency - Police Ticketing in Schools - I am saddened to have followed the
 saga of Amara Harris and the accusation surrounding the of theft of missing
 iPods. I am further saddened that the City of Naperville made the choice to try
 and bend the resolve of a young woman who knew and stood by her own
 innocence with the allowance of the continuation of court proceeding.
 Naperville, I KNOW YOU to be better than this. The manner of the handling of
 this case, and with the Police being used in the schools, in the first place, to
 issue tickets to students, is nothing but trouble and sets into motion further
 mistrust between PROFESSIONAL law enforcement and communities of
 persons often treated as less than and suspect. Surely there is another means
 for a first-rate municipality with second to none schools to ensure discipline
 and standards. Police should be policing deviants in the streets, not misused to
 create deviants in the schools. Imagine how horrible this could have made the
 life of this young woman? What other numbers of students have had life
 altering interactions with police involvement in the schools?

 Hello Naperville City Council, My apologies for not being able to locate the
 website note system so I ask that this email be entered and placed on the city
 website. In preparing this I would like to thank Ms Andrea Nair for clearing up
 some questions. I am both a healthcare provider downtown everyday, even
 during the pandemic, a senior, a 12-16 hr day happens with regularity. I
 previously was a math major, masters degree in Infinite Dimensional Dynamics
 which does modeling of current and future outlook platforms. I moved to
 Naperville in 1986,raised 3 kids, very active in the community. The Survey The
 survey was done by city staff and asked questions to gain more information
 about commuter patterns, and gather feedback on existing parking options but
 commuters were not asked specifically about how they feel or how they woul;d
 be impacted. The surveys I have been involved in would be not done during
 religious holidays, more then one time, note mailed with the mid Sept sticker
 and rely on contacting beyond just the social media or internet to maximize. It
 is such a major change esp for those that travel everyday and waited for a
 decade to earn that pass. It is very important to ask and know the impact. A

 hard audit, no additional tags and grandfather those that waited would assure
 fairness and increase the availiablity greatly. They would die out. Seniors are
 the leaders and they do not have the prime health and the lesser walk during
 snow and ice would keep them safe and show respect. Fairness does not
 always mean first come first serve , one would have to do a daily lottery. Some
 in service, healthcare or first response have shifts that do not always start
 early, Some of us work double shifts and need safe parking close by. The
 study really assumes to a large degree a hybrid worker with an early start and
 under 60. This does not fit all of us. Why not allow a 3rd trimester pregnant
 woman to have a close pass as it keeps her staff. A temp pass can be issued
 with a letter from the MD. My estimates have an increase in the kiosks by up to
 50%. The comments I hear are that they run out of receipts ( we know not
 required but it saved me a few times from a ticket), the LCD display in the
 winter does not always function and the buttons are a negative for health
 reasons. I noticed there are santizers in city hall but how come with the
 increased traffic this is not in the plan to keep us safer? I can work doubles or
 later to work on some of the charity programs if I knew I could reserve a
 monthly or weekly spot. Riverside does it. Why is this not proposed? Is the App
 reliable and has it ever gone down or hacked? It is owned by VW Financial
 which has had some problems. What does the study say? In closing a couple
 thoughts. I think this is so impactful that a deep study and discussion that
 meets study/discussion standards be and not just a cursory approach. Also I
 do wish to thank Jennifer Bruzan-Taylor who did return one of my emails but
 she was the only one. I may be naivie but I am a serious voter, the train is saft,
 reliable, good for our carbon footprint reduction, When those that visited the
 train station around election, I was told there would be transparency and
 responsive approach. Only one answered me. No one wants to think they got
 the slip of the hand. Please table this, dig deeper as it is a Major change.
 Thank you for your time. Robert S Deaver331 Avena Circle, Naperville, Ill

 22-1-119 (Item 1 of 4)
 Tom Burgess (Naperville - Petitioner) discussed the request for revocation of a
 portion of the Iron Gate Phase 2B PUD to allow for construction of a Sunbelt
 Rentals building and indicated that development of a residential product in the
 PUD is no longer feasible due to changes in economic conditions and material
 costs. Additionally, the Petitioner noted that the Iron Gate Motor Condos ’
 Board of Directors is unwilling to allow the approved residential project to be a
 part of the Iron Gate community. Burgess also indicated hardie board siding
 was chosen as the predominant material due to desirable appearance, low
 maintenance, durability, and the 30-year warranty.

 SPEAKERS
 Bharat B Shah (Naperville; owner of condo at Iron Gate) spoke against the
 proposal stating it will devalue the Iron Gate complex.

 Burgess rebutted the speaker’s comments saying that development around
 Iron Gate did not impact unit pricing, that SunBelt is an excellent choice, that
 landscape buffers will be incorporated, and that there is currently a wait list for

J. PUBLIC HEARINGS:

K. OLD BUSINESS:

L. ORDINANCES AND RESOLUTIONS:

1. Option 1: Concur with the intent of the PZC to allow a continued temporary use of the
 chicken coop structures and associated home occupation for a period of time as

City of Naperville Page 13 Printed on 9/15/2023
City Council Meeting Minutes - Final August 15, 2023

 determined by the City Council and subject to certain conditions, or

 Option 2: Concur with staff to deny PZC 23-1-033, finding that the chicken coop
 structures and associated home occupation are too intensive for a single-family
 residential property, and that the facilities and operations should comply with all
 applicable provisions of the Naperville Municipal Code
 Rick Montalbano (Naperville - Petitioner, Touch My Heart) explained the
 request for variances and specifically discussed the mission of the chicken
 therapy program, specific services for adults 22 years old and older, the
 importance of safe housing for therapy animals, and that a calm environment is
 provided for hypersensitive individuals.

 SPEAKERS
 Regina O'Connor (Naperville - Touch My Heart volunteer) spoke in favor of
 Option 1.

 Brandon Quaintance (Oswego - Awesome Life Academy/Touch My Heart)
 spoke in favor of Option 1.

 Kristin Krok (Waukegan - Aspire) spoke in favor of Option 1

 Eric Rush (Naperville) spoke in favor of Option 2.

 Council asked if the Petitioner has investigated other properties, discussed
 personal site visits, landscaping, impact to the neighbors, complaint based
 enforcement, the ability to move the operation in one year, and specific
 conditions put in place until moving is possible.

 Petitioner responded that Touch My Heart has complied with instructions given
 by staff, that other properties have been researched but are cost prohibitive,
 that the Conservation Foundation does not allow for animals, meetings are
 scheduled with unincorporated land owners and the Naperville Park District.

 Laff explained that staff provides information based on what is asked, however
 chicken coop regulations are very clear.

 Council asked that staff review communications and asked the Petitioner about
 inclimate weather and the ability to operate under current restrictions.

 Petitioner stated the coops are where chickens sleep and lay eggs, that the
 other structures are screened-in enclosures to keep the chickens safe to free
 range, that chickens stay outside in the winter and structures are wrapped, and
 that keeping the structures in place until a move is possible is preferred.

 WRITTEN COMMENT ONLY
 Kurt Luporini (Oswego) - Touch My Heart - Good morning Naperville Council, I
 am writing on behalf of Touch My Heart and the case number mentioned in the
 above subject line. Rick and Touch My Heart reached out as I heard The City
 of Naperville has a potential issue with the permitting for their Chicken
 Coops/Runs. For a brief history, I have been close friends with Rick and

City of Naperville Page 14 Printed on 9/15/2023
City Council Meeting Minutes - Final August 15, 2023

 Wendy for the last 28 years and was actually the person that introduced them
 to each other while we were in high school together. I also lived in Naperville
 for the better part of 25 years and prior to moving to Oswego recently, held the
 positions of President of the Ashwood Creek Subdivision and Chair of the
 Ashwood Club in south Naperville for many years. I also have an 8 yr old Son
 who is severely autistic who attends Little Friends in Naperville and one of my
 daughters is in her senior year of college completing her teaching degree
 concentrating on Special Needs and is a para at Little Friends as well. For
 additional context and clarity, I am also a founder and co-President of the
 Accessibility for All Employee Resource Group at my company, Jamf. I have
 been fortunate over the last few years to donate approx. $$7,000 to Touch My
 Heart through my company to help their wonderful efforts in supplying a safe
 and friendly environment to people with special needs with education and
 therapy. In short, I know a significant amount about the needs of neurodiverse
 people and how these types of therapies can make significant and lifelong
 positive effects on them to enrich their lives. I will be attending the hearing and
 hope that the board sees a way to continue to let this amazing organization
 thrive for the well-being of our community when many look the other way to
 neurodiverse individuals. Let’s make sure the City Council is the former! In a
 world where so many things could be better, this is one of those that already is,
 and we should not look to take it away. I appreciate your sincere consideration
 in this most important matter.

 Margaret Eismann (Naperville) - I live in the neighborhood where they are
 located and walk my dog past their house multiple times of day. I find their
 back yard charming and inviting. I wish I could say that about half the people
 that live in this neighborhood that don’t take care of their yards houses as well
 Rick. I have never seen anything annoy or distracting. I believe they should be
 able to continue the great work for people with disabilities. Thank you

 Amy Smith (Naperville) - We are located at Flambeau drive in Naperville,
 Illinois, neighbors of Rick and Wendy, who run the non for profit agency “touch
 my heart”. We have seen the work they do to supply therapeutic resources to
 our community of not only adults with special needs, but scouts and school age
 children. They have provided a safe, engaging and therapeutic environment for
 our community to come and experience therapy chickens. Their passion and
 dedication to help people, specifically with special needs has been a unique
 addition to our communities outreach to that population as well as others. We
 support and agree with their mission to provide a family friendly farm
 experience. Their peaceful presence in the neighborhood has graced us with
 their coop and during holiday seasons with their holiday tree. They have
 continued to support the social health and well being of our community with the
 implementation of the touch my heart program and their good hearts. Please
 approve the request for variance as it is financially and therapeutically
 beneficial to grant the variance so that multiple entities may continue to utilize
 the resources that Touch My Heart offers. Please support their program as it
 serves and helps not only adults with special needs but the community as a
 whole.

 Holly Ramsey (San Antonio, TX) - Dear Council members: I lived in Naperville
 for 14 years and am an active supporter of Touch My Heart. I am asking you to

City of Naperville Page 15 Printed on 9/15/2023
City Council Meeting Minutes - Final August 15, 2023

 approve all the variances requested in order for the Montalbanos to continue to
 serve the community they love. Please approve a 24- month sunset and allow
 them to have the 16 therapy birds necessary for proper training and rotation.
 Additionally, please help them find affordable land for their amazing non-profit.
 The council may be concerned about a "slippery slope" and precedence that a
 variance can convey. Fortunately, that's not the case with this request. Rick
 and Wendy stand alone in providing the first chicken animal-assisted therapy
 venue in the United States. Wendy studied & received certifications in
 Backyard Poultry Education and Animal Assisted Therapy and Activities. This
 isn't "another backyard chicken case." This is the Montalbanos and Touch My
 Heart filling a need in the special needs community. Feel free to ask IPSD 204,
 who brought some individuals just a few weeks ago for a visit to the TMH
 chickens. This variance request is utterly unique because what the
 Montalbanos are doing is utterly unique. What a privilege for Naperville to be
 leading the nation in this regard! There is no smell associated with their coop.
 The Montalbanos have a regular rotation of volunteers who assist them in
 maintaining the highest standard of cleanliness. Additionally, they employ an
 autistic young adult to assist with opening and closing, providing a needed job
 for an often overlooked segment of Naperville. There is no issue with crowds.
 TMH limits its offerings to only small groups of special needs adults and only
 during daytime hours. All parking is done in the Montalbanos U-shaped
 driveway. There is no impact on street parking. There is no issue with noise or
 crowing. Only softly clucking hens reside in the coop. There are no roosters.
 The placement of the coop was done deliberately to allow for 360-degree
 motorized wheelchair turns by guests. The six inches to a foot variance will
 make no difference to any isolated neighbor complaint. It makes a world of
 difference to the accessibility of the community Rick and Wendy serve.
 Disapproving the variances would cost a huge investment in time and money to
 move the coop, and could have a shuttering effect on this aspect of the Touch
 My Heart non-profit. I don't think dismantling significant and beloved
 community non-profits is probably why any of you serve in local government.
 The Montalbanos and Touch My Heart enjoy near unanimous support from
 their neighbors who have sent their own letters about how the chickens have
 brought the community together. Additionally, when public documents revealed
 a neighbor complaint, Rick and Wendy took immediate steps to address the
 concern. The Montalbanos' work with Touch My Heart chickens has resulted in
 them being recognized as Illinois' first 4-H Partner to serve those 18+.
 Naperville itself recognized Rick as a Citizen of the Year not too long ago. The
 Nature Rx Coalition, which includes many of the parks in the Naperville area,
 asked Rick and Wendy to be a part of their coalition. The Montalbanos have
 already bolstered a sense of community within that organization by inviting
 partners to their backyard to see chickens and the benefits of outdoor
 education. The variances allow Touch My Heart to continue to build
 community, serve marginalized groups, and establish Naperville as firmly at the
 forefront of innovative animal-assisted therapy. After the city council approves
 the variances, I might also suggest visiting the chickens yourself. You may find
 this makes you an enthusiastic supporter in aiding the Montalbanos in finding
 several affordable acres within Naperville for Touch My Heart Farm to find its
 permanent home. These variances are a stop-gap measure as the
 Montalbanos continue to search for permanent land for the chickens. I have to
 think that such win-win propositions like approving these variances and using

City of Naperville Page 16 Printed on 9/15/2023
City Council Meeting Minutes - Final August 15, 2023

 your knowledge to find accessible permanent land for amazing groups like
 TMH are probably why each of you serve in local government. I look forward to
 seeing how your commission might help keep Touch My Heart firmly within
 Naperville! Sincerely, Holly Ramsey

2. Conduct the first reading on the ordinance amending Section 11-2B of the Naperville
 Municipal Code to eliminate commuter parking permits and expand daily fee parking
 Council discussed daily parking, the desire to utilize more parking, the
 importance of considering input from five day/week commuters, limited bus
 options, and the appropriateness of tabling the vote to September to allow time
 for staff to engage with Pace.

 Novack said RTA will not change services based on City requests and
 discussed the service fee for app use, the changeover to pay by plate option
 that will be implemented in November, the use of the license plate reader for
 parking enforcement, payment bundle proposals for single day/week/month,
 and that there will be no price discounting.

 Council discussed a menu of options for price points to consider at the second
 reading, possible discounts for certain groups, that the plan should not
 adversely affect daily commuters but rather encourage people to continue
 taking the train, and that a small City subsidy may be appropriate.

 WRITTEN COMMENT ONLY
 Julie Winkler (Naperville) - Hello, Mayor and City Council Members, After being
 a resident of Naperville for over 30 years and a Metra commuter for 25 of
 those years, I am well informed on the current situation for parking and
 commuting in our area. The proposal to eliminate the permit parking program
 that has served as a dependable transportation component in our community is
 completely irresponsible and disruptive to Naperville families. While the
 pandemic has changed commuting trends, there are still many of us who are
 regularly commuting to the city and we rely on the parking permit for greater
 convenience as we need to get our children to school. I can tell you that
 eliminating permits will dramatically disadvantage women with children as well
 as students who commute to school downtown. If anyone were to come to the
 train station in Naperville after 7:45 a.m., they would see that the ridership is
 working parents and college students who are taking the train downtown. I am
 entirely reliant on my parking permit to give me the flexibility to get my kids to
 school and still make a train to get to work. Going to daily parking is simply not
 an option. I completely appreciate that Naperville has expensive real estate

City of Naperville Page 17 Printed on 9/15/2023
City Council Meeting Minutes - Final August 15, 2023

 near the train station that it is looking to monetize. With that being said, I am
 not even sure if consideration was given to increasing the cost of the parking
 permit as prices have not been adjusted in many, many years. It makes far
 more sense as an interim step in 2024 to increase the permit fees to $$250 or
 $$300 per quarter and see how many people no longer need their permits as
 they are not regularly commuting. For them, it will be a cost/benefit analysis to
 determine if they would rather pay the higher amount or go to daily parking to
 reflect their new schedule. Clearly the permit lots are not full and it is also
 entirely reasonable to convert more of these spots to daily parking if that is
 what is desired. Or if permit spots are not filled by 9 am in some lots then allow
 daily parking in them so the City would get twice the revenue for it. In reviewing
 the proposed changes to the ordinance, it also eliminates any ability for
 commuters to park overnight in any of the lots. This does not work for people
 who may need to spend the night in the city or take the train downtown then
 later travel to ORD for a work trip. I am fine if a parking lot further away is
 designated as the overnight lot, but this must be a consideration. Not all of us
 can by daily commuters as defined by this ordinance. The concept of reserved
 parking exists everywhere in our community - parking garages, stadiums, large
 events, and even water parks. People are willing to pay a premium to have the
 convenience and certainty of a parking spot and commuting is no different than
 these other circumstances. I do not understand why permits cannot continue to
 be offered in Naperville as a benefit to its long-standing commuters including
 working parents and students who need to ride the train at off peak hours. I am
 not aware of any other community that is considering such a drastic measure
 and believe we will be forcing Naperville residents to other train stations like
 Lisle and Wheaton, thereby reducing any financial benefit that was expected
 by implementing this plan. I urge the Council to vote down this proposed
 ordinance and ask the staff for a new plan which includes the continuation of
 permit parking in Naperville. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Julie

 Julie Flores (Naperville) - Has the City Council considered leaving the current
 commuter parking structure at the downtown Metra station as is? In other
 words, keeping the Burlington lot as a permit parking lot and all remaining lots
 would flip to daily fee parking? It seems like a win-win for all in my opinion. I
 have held a permit at the downtown station for over 20 years. I commute to
 Chicago 5 days per week. The new daily fee proposal is not only inconvenient
 but cost prohibitive for me IF I choose to park in the Burlington Lot where I
 have parked for 20 years. I do not see how this new structure benefits the
 majority especially since the Parkview Lot and all remaining "daily fee" lots
 continue to have open spaces on a daily basis. I noticed that IF the city
 provides a Mobile Electronic Payment option that there will be a "service fee"
 associated with this process. What is the amount of the service fee and who
 benefits from the service fee? Is it legal to modify the service fee without
 advance notice to users? Are there any members of the City Council who
 commute to Chicago on a regular basis BUT actually drive to the train station?

 Hello Naperville City Council, My apologies for not being able to locate the
 website note system so I ask that this email be entered and placed on the city
 website. In preparing this I would like to thank Ms Andrea Nair for clearing up
 some questions. I am both a healthcare provider downtown everyday, even
 during the pandemic, a senior, a 12-16 hr day happens with regularity. I

 previously was a math major, masters degree in Infinite Dimensional Dynamics
 which does modeling of current and future outlook platforms. I moved to
 Naperville in 1986,raised 3 kids, very active in the community. The Survey The
 survey was done by city staff and asked questions to gain more information
 about commuter patterns, and gather feedback on existing parking options but
 commuters were not asked specifically about how they feel or how they woul;d
 be impacted. The surveys I have been involved in would be not done during
 religious holidays, more then one time, note mailed with the mid Sept sticker
 and rely on contacting beyond just the social media or internet to maximize. It
 is such a major change esp for those that travel everyday and waited for a
 decade to earn that pass. It is very important to ask and know the impact. A
 hard audit, no additional tags and grandfather those that waited would assure
 fairness and increase the availiablity greatly. They would die out. Seniors are
 the leaders and they do not have the prime health and the lesser walk during
 snow and ice would keep them safe and show respect. Fairness does not
 always mean first come first serve , one would have to do a daily lottery. Some
 in service, healthcare or first response have shifts that do not always start
 early, Some of us work double shifts and need safe parking close by. The
 study really assumes to a large degree a hybrid worker with an early start and
 under 60. This does not fit all of us. Why not allow a 3rd trimester pregnant
 woman to have a close pass as it keeps her staff. A temp pass can be issued
 with a letter from the MD. My estimates have an increase in the kiosks by up to
 50%. The comments I hear are that they run out of receipts ( we know not
 required but it saved me a few times from a ticket), the LCD display in the
 winter does not always function and the buttons are a negative for health
 reasons. I noticed there are santizers in city hall but how come with the
 increased traffic this is not in the plan to keep us safer? I can work doubles or
 later to work on some of the charity programs if I knew I could reserve a
 monthly or weekly spot. Riverside does it. Why is this not proposed? Is the App
 reliable and has it ever gone down or hacked? It is owned by VW Financial
 which has had some problems. What does the study say? In closing a couple
 thoughts. I think this is so impactful that a deep study and discussion that
 meets study/discussion standards be and not just a cursory approach. Also I
 do wish to thank Jennifer Bruzan-Taylor who did return one of my emails but
 she was the only one. I may be naivie but I am a serious voter, the train is saft,
 reliable, good for our carbon footprint reduction, When those that visited the
 train station around election, I was told there would be transparency and
 responsive approach. Only one answered me. No one wants to think they got
 the slip of the hand.Please table this, dig deeper as it is a Major change. Thank
 you for your time. Robert S Deaver331 Avena Circle, Naperville, Ill 60565.
