 WRITTEN COMMENTS ONLY
 Asim Gaff (Naperville) - Political Signs- As a civics teacher, I am proud of the
 competitive political campaigns we have in Naperville. I do wish for a higher turn
 out rate, but I understand local politics requires a lot more time and connections
 to be knowledgeable of the significance and the candidates platform. If it wasn't
 for the ICN forum I wouldn't have gotten to know all the candidates. I hope the
City of Naperville Page 3 Printed on 4/18/2023
City Council Meeting Minutes April 5, 2023

 city can create more politically neutral social media campaigns of awareness of
 what each elected office does- that might increase turnout. I am also concerned
 about the increased number of political signs this election and question their
 efficacy. Who actually votes for a person because of a sign? Private property
 support makes sense and some signage is good, but what about public land?
 What branding or name recognition is created when every candidate is heavily
 covering our city with signs? NPR reports there MIGHT be a 1-2% vote benefit,
 but that was a survey not for municipal elections which typically has more
 motivated voters and very low turnout. There used to be heavy enforcement of
 where campaigns can place signs, I know because I used to volunteer for one,
 but now almost every other street corner, park and even forest preserve has
 signs. We had 2 storms that whipped up signs and turned them into waste into
 our water ways and parks. City staff can only do so much. Please consider
 mitigation efforts to protect our beautiful city from waste and excessive signage.
 The onus goes back to the campaigns and city expectations of them. I hope
 they continue to take the time to cleanup today what is still out there and I hope
 we can find more effective ways to increase voter turnout.

City Council Meeting Minutes April 5, 2023

 WRITTEN COMMENTS ONLY
 Derek Miller (Naperville) -I would like to OPPOSE repealing the campaign
 disclosure ordinance. I do believe a lot of outside money has entered
 Naperville's local elections, but I don't believe that money is because of the
 ordinance. Almost every community of Naperville's size around the country has
 seen outside money funnel into local elections. With campaign finance laws as
 they are it is unlikely we can prevent this money from coming in, but we can
 make that money as transparent as possible. If the ordinance is unclear about
 when donations should be disclosed, we should modify the ordinance instead of
 repealing it. Maybe to make it easier to avoid missing disclosures, all donations
 should be sent through the city's lawyer to determine what should be disclosed
 at each meeting. More transparency should not be a bad thing and repealing
 this ordinance would certainly decrease transparency.

 Kevin Coyne -All, I had hoped to appear at the next Council meeting to voice
 support for Mayor Chirico's desire to repeal the Campaign Disclosure but,
 unfortunately it appears that I have a conflict. I won't belabor prior concerns that
 I have voiced in the past as to this ordnance. Namely that the ordinance deters
 donations from our local small businesses and residents while doing nothing
 disclosure-wise to the larger political players (namely PACs, unions, political
 parties) whom will rarely - if ever - be on our agenda. In effect, the ordinance
 makes larger political voices even more influential then they already are.

 I'd like to highlight how unworkable and gotch'ya-geared this ordinance will be as
 more and more councilmen (and mayor) receive qualifying donations. Gray area
 has been created by all the PACs and Party involvement. The Firemen union,
 for instance, gave out numerous qualifying donations this cycle. They ran
 Facebook ads and did mailers for candidates. They canvassed and walked in
 parade entries for certain candidates. In my view, and that of most, is that the
 Fire Department is now a group that raises disclosure responsibility for those
 that received their support. Now what? Every procurement, budget item,
 innocuous consent agenda item, or even matter of public safety, that involves
 the Fire Department arguably triggers this ordinance. All of those that received
 political support from the Fire Department will regularly have to deal with this
 ordinance and/or be asked why disclosures are not being made.

 If the position is taken that the Fire union is a different entity then the Fire
 Department (which is a heck of a stretch in my opinion) then the ordinance is so
 narrowly drawn that it would virtually never apply (i.e. so why have it?). The real
 estate developers, whom were the apparent target of the ordinance, rarely
 donate from the usually empty shell entity that appears on the agenda and
 which is used to bring the development forward. In other words, the developer
 donations will rarely ever have to be disclosed either. The whole original point of
 the ordinance was developer donations!

 Since the ordinance was past, donations from third parties have grown
 exponentially. The suggested policy items (namely transparency) that the
 ordinance was created for have gotten worse - not better. Worse this ordinance
 places you all in a legal gray area. This just happened at your last meeting - did
 it apply in Theresa's case or not? Honestly its not clear and is a matter that a
 good lawyer could argue either way in court.

City Council Meeting Minutes April 5, 2023



 This ordinance is not just unfair to you all, Its unfair to those that will soon be
 joining the council and whom are likely to run into these questions more often
 than has occurred to date. Please support our Mayor's last initiative and repeal
 this problemed ordinance. Thank you all for your consideration and service to
 Naperville.


 Karen V Peck (Naperville) Dear Naperville City Council and Mayor, I am writing
 regarding File # 23-0407 Version 1, the “Ordinance Repealing Campaign
 Disclosure Ordinance.” I OPPOSE the striking of this ordinance from the
 Naperville Municipal Code. I cannot understand why anyone would want to
 repeal an ordinance to publicly disclose political contributions totaling more than
 $$750 dollars unless those elected officials have something they wish to hide. I
 can think of no other rationale for striking this. A review of ethical behavior is one
 of the key measures voters use when voting. Disclosure of who is funding a
 candidate/councilperson is ethical and transparent. Striking the ethics ordinance
 on campaign disclosure makes candidate’s and elected official’s funding
 opaque and is a way to hide funders. Given that candidates of late have been
 funded by billionaire donors at the local election level, it is imperative that voters
 know who the donors are and to whom candidates are beholden. The fact is
 that candidates and elected officials are sometimes in conflict with the goals of
 the governing body to which they belong. For example, if a candidate/elected
 official accepts large donations from developers, how can that civil servant be
 impartial when development projects come to council for approval? I OPPOSE
 the striking of the ordinance to be transparent about campaign contributions.
 Unethical behavior and conflicts of interest will slip under the radar if this
 ordinance is stricken. Sincerely, Karen V. Peck Lisle Township, Precinct 004

 Rayna Beauchamp (Naperville) I support the ethics ordinance requiring
 disclosure of donations of $$750+ when the donor’s matters are before council.
 I DO think the ordinance must be improved to capture the outside influences we
 saw in yesterday’s election. Also the code of conduct for council members and
 board and commission appointees must be applied consistently. Candidates
 are supported by different PACs: firefighters, police, realtors, trades, etc.
 However every mailer, call, or text from those PACs was disclosed, amplified
 endorsed candidates, and did NOT smear named candidates. The Safe
 Suburbs USA PAC chair is a current library trustee, former councilman, and
 attorney. His letters to the editor and social media decried PAC Naperville
 Forward’s mailers which did not name names but warned of consequences if
 extremists were elected. It was a heated discussion in these chambers as well.
 In January, Safe Suburbs posted a picture of park district candidate John
 Risvold on Facebook stating he was running to drum up personal injury
 business and accused him of seeking to “gain intel to harass local businesses
 and homeowners”. Did I miss when the chair of Safe Suburbs and library
 trustee repudiated this post? Was this conduct acceptable for a city
 representative? Dark money. Billionaire Dick Uihlein lives in the north suburbs
 and has a business in Wisconsin. He is a mega donor to right wing state and
 national causes and made large donations to Dupage Policy Journal and Safe
 Suburbs in the last year. Several hit pieces appeared in Dupage Policy Journal
 about LEGAL property tax breaks councilmen Holzhauer and White were

 eligible for as veterans with CERTIFIED disabilities. A reporter revealed that the
 story had been shopped by a former city councilman who was an attorney. This
 publication also smeared councilman White’s spouse, a community contributor
 who has led a non-profit since prior to Mr. White joining council, and questioned
 his ethics on STAFF-VETTED project grants submitted as a package which
 passed 9-0. Coalition for Jobs Growth and Prosperity texted the hit pieces to
 voters and sent mailers packed with lies and laced with racism that attacked
 candidate White and praised mayor-elect Wehrli. This PAC has not filed
 documentation with the state election board and mayor-elect Wehrli has not
 reported in-kind donations nor repudiated any of the above - nobody previously
 upset over Naperville Forward’s mailers expressed outrage over the attacks on
 a sitting councilman and his family. So we have swift boating a 22 year army
 vet, a reporter who said they heard the story from a former city councilman who
 was an attorney, an unregistered PAC doing dirty work that benefits one
 candidate, and a billionaire outsider funding various entities pushing smear
 campaigns against specific named candidates in non-partisan races. I call on
 council to CONSISTENTLY investigate and apply the code of conduct and
 improve the ethics ordinance to make it difficult for dark money and outsiders to
 influence our non-partisan races.

2. Consider three options for providing financial assistance to the Naperville Tornado Relief
 Fund and direct staff accordingly
 Kristy Kennedy (Naperville Tornado Relief) discussed the $1 million grant from
 the State of Illinois and spoke in favor of receiving funding assistance from the
 City.

 Council asked about community outreach and whether there has been
 consideration to add neighbors outside of the geographic zone identified by
 NTR.

 Kennedy explained how the map was developed, the criteria used by the tax
 assessor, and that expanding to the west would require far more funding.

 Council discussed the questions posed to the speaker, stated City staff can
 make modifications to funding amounts, and that this is an opportunity to
 develop a process to assist residents affected by future disasters.

 Kennedy stated that the money from the State of Illinois is unrestricted but will
 be used for yard remediation, that any unused money will be returned to the
 state or the City, that the bulk of remediation needs are east of Ranchview, and
 that any other improvements will be paid by the homeowner.

 Council discussed the appropriateness of NTR expanding the map of affected
 residents, advancing money to recipients similar to the arrangement with
 Century Walk, reimbursing residents similar to SECA and SSG, the importance
 of oversight, and that a funding commitment can be made now with program
 specifics determined at a later time.

 Mayer stated that the source of City funding has not been identified, there is
 surplus in General Fund, and that additional reporting is necessary if ARPA
