Subject: A Resolution Authorizing the City Manager to Enter Into an Agreement with
Carbondale Junior Sports to Utilize the Concessions and Fields at the Super Block
Type: Action - Consent
Recommended Action: Adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to enter into an agreement with
Carbondale Junior Sports for the utilization of the concession pavilion and the fields at
the Super Block.
Goals: Goal 1: Provide a high quality of life and foster a sense of community.
Originating Department: City Attorney
Background: Carbondale Junior Sports (CJS) has used the Super Block for soccer, baseball, and softball since the
facility was constructed. Previously, CJS operated under an agreement with the Carbondale Park District regarding
the maintenance and operation of the original concession stand.
When the lease between the City and the Park District expired, and the City assumed operation of the Super
Block, the City continued with an annual agreement with CJS for use of the fields and concession stand.
In 2026, the City completed construction of a new concession stand and restroom facility located in the center of
the four baseball/softball diamonds. The City then began discussions with Carbondale Junior Sports regarding a
new agreement for continued use of the baseball/softball fields, soccer fields, and the new concession pavilion.
The City and CJS reached an agreement on the terms. However, due to timing, CJS was unable to return an
executed copy before the start of the baseball/softball season. The City nevertheless allowed CJS to proceed with
operations in good faith, with the expectation that the agreement would be finalized and approved.
City Council is now asked to authorize the City Manager to enter into an agreement with Carbondale Junior Sports
for the operation and use of the concession pavilion, soccer fields, and ball fields at the Super Block.

and justice.
Goal 3: Demonstrate fiscal responsibility and transparency while providing high-quality
City services.
Goal 5: Provide high-quality City infrastructure.
Goal 1: Provide a high quality of life and foster a sense of community.
Originating Department: Community Development
Background:
In March 2024, the City of Carbondale was awarded an Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant (EECBG)
through the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA) to support preparation of a Strategic Energy Plan. The
Strategic Energy Plan builds upon the City’s 2022 Sustainability Action Plan, which established goals of reducing
greenhouse gas emissions by 45 percent by 2030 and achieving carbon neutrality by 2050. Through technical
analysis and evaluation of existing energy infrastructure, operations, and programs, the Strategic Energy Plan
provides a framework for identifying and prioritizing future energy-related projects, policies, and investments.
Adoption of the Strategic Energy Plan will better position the City to pursue future funding opportunities, guide
consideration of energy efficiency and renewable energy initiatives, and support informed decision-making
regarding the City’s energy future. The Plan is intended as a planning and guidance document only and does not
establish binding policy, create enforceable obligations, or commit the City to any specific project, expenditure, or
regulatory action unless separately approved by the City Council or otherwise authorized in accordance with law.
The attached resolution authorizes the City Manager to formally adopt the Strategic Energy Plan on behalf of the
City of Carbondale and to take such administrative actions as are necessary to support its implementation
consistent with Council direction and applicable law.

Subject: A Resolution Honorarily Naming West Cherry Street from South Illinois Avenue to
South Oakland Avenue as Buckminster Fuller Way
Type: Action
Recommended Action: Approve a Resolution granting the Honorary Naming of West Cherry Street as
"Buckminster Fuller Way"
Goals: Goal 1: Provide a high quality of life and foster a sense of community.
Goal 4: Encourage responsible and progressive economic development/tourism/arts
and entertainment.
Goal 6: Enhance residential development/rehabilitation/home ownership.
Originating Department: Community Development
Background: An application has been received to designate West Cherry Street from South Illinois Avenue to
South Oakland Street as "Buckminster Fuller Way".
R. Buckminster Fuller was a notable SIU Professor, as well as a world-renowned designer, engineer, architect,
philosopher, futurist, educator, and writer, who lived at 407 S. Forest Avenue, the corner of Forest and Cherry
Street, from 1960 to 1971. The "Dome Home" was the only Geodesic Dome he lived in. That location is now on
the Register of National Historic Places. The Honorary Naming would bring enhanced visibility to the
neighborhood and recognition of Fuller's substantial contribution to the community.
A Public Hearing to hear testimony in favor of or in opposition to the honorary naming of West Cherry Street as
"Buckminster Fuller Way" was held earlier in the City Council meeting.
This is an honorary street name that will not require residents to change their legal addresses. A sign with the
honorary street name will be placed below the official street name sign at each cross-street intersection along
West Cherry Street.

Agenda Item Details
Meeting: June 23, 2026 - City Council Meeting
Category: General Business
Subject: Resolution Initiating a One-Year Moratorium on Data Center Development and
Authorizing Staff to Initiate a Text Amendment Relative to Data Center Development
Type: Action
Recommended Action: Approve a moratorium on data center development for one year and directing the
Planning Commission to create text amendments governing the development of Data
Centers
Goals: Goal 1: Provide a high quality of life and foster a sense of community.
Goal 4: Encourage responsible and progressive economic development/tourism/arts
and entertainment.
Originating Department: Community Development
Background: The rapid development of data centers all over the country, as well as in Illinois, has caused concern
among the population in many areas. Concerns over excess water usage, electrical power demand, noise, and
light pollution are concerns of our local residents. Such issues are potential challenges to the interests of the City
involving sustainability, livability, and cost of living. Illinois ranks Fourth in the number of data centers in the
nation, with between 108 and 164 operating and at least another 60 under development.
On May 18, a community meeting and presentation were held at the Unitarian Church, co-sponsored by The
Sierra Club, Church of the Good Shepherd, Faith in Place, Citizens Utility Board, Illinois Environmental Council, and
Prairie Rivers Network. The meeting was titled "Let's Talk Data Centers: Our Water, Our Power, Our
Communities." Several members of City staff and City Council were present and heard concerns from the group.
While some attendees had not formed an opinion on Data Centers, opposition and concerns were expressed.
The rapid growth of Data Center development is raising concerns related to associated unknowns of long-term
impacts. The Illinois General Assembly is considering Senate Bill 4016, House Bill 5513, known as the Power Act,
but the legislation did not pass in the Spring session, and the issue will not be brought back until the October
session. Therefore, staff is presenting a one-year moratorium and resolution to develop proper zoning regulations
to protect the City's interests related to development that is currently unregulated. Pending consideration of
potential proposed regulations or code amendments, and subject to any action the State of Illinois may enact,
other units of local government in Illinois have adopted similar moratoriums. The City wants to take an informed
approach in order to properly deliberate future-related requests.
Recommended Action:
Adopt a resolution initiating a one-year moratorium on Data Center development and authorizing Staff to prepare
and present a proposed text amendment to the Carbondale Revised Code addressing Data Center development in
the future.

and convincing evidence. The owner shall be sent immediate notification of the
determination by certified mail that includes a complete description of the appeal process.

offense upon the owner or custodian of the dog;
2. The threatened person was tormenting, abusing, assaulting, or physically
threatening the dog or its offspring;
3. The injured, threatened, or killed companion animal was attacking or threatening to

fourteen (14) days at the owner's expense and one or more of the following as deemed
appropriate:
1. Evaluation of the dog by a certified applied behaviorist, a board certified veterinary
behaviorist, or another recognized expert in the field and completion of training or other
treatment as deemed appropriate by the expert. The owner of the dog will be responsible
for all costs associated with evaluations and training; or
2. Direct supervision by an adult, eighteen (18) years or older, whenever the animal is
on public grounds; or

and shall inform its owner, within twenty four (24) hours of impoundment, that two (2) or
more of the factors enumerated herein exist. The owner shall not allow or permit the dog
declared dangerous to return to the city under any circumstances. (Ord. 2006-64)

city in the circuit court within thirty five (35) days of notification of the determination for a
de novo hearing on the determination. The proceeding shall be conducted as a civil hearing
pursuant to the Illinois code of civil procedure. The city must prove by clear and convincing
evidence that the dog is dangerous. The final order of the circuit court may be appealed
pursuant to the civil appeals provisions of the Illinois supreme court rules. The owner of a
dog found to be dangerous may, within fourteen (14) days of receipt of notification, request
an administrative hearing to appeal the determination. An owner desiring a hearing shall

administrative decision by the city manager may be judicially reviewed by a judge in the
circuit court of Jackson County. Until the order has been reviewed, and at all times during
the appeal process, the owner shall comply with the requirements set by the chief of police.
The owner of the dog shall be responsible for all fees associated with the appeal and/or
holding of the animal while the appeal takes place. (Ord. 2008-36)

inflicts a bite to a human being or any other animal whether on public or private property,
attacks a human being or domestic animal without justification and causes serious physical
injury or death, or any individual dog that has been found dangerous on three (3) separate
occasions is a vicious dog. Vicious dogs shall not be classified "vicious" only on the basis of

infraction that is the basis of the investigation to the owner, conduct a thorough
investigation, interview witnesses, including the owner, gather any existing medical
records, veterinary medical records or behavioral evidence, and make a detailed report

the dog was a vicious dog by clear and convincing evidence. The animal control officer shall
determine where the dog shall be confined during the pendency of the case. A dog shall not
be declared vicious if the court determines that the conduct of the dog was justified
because:

committing a crime or offense upon the owner or custodian of the dog, or upon the
property of the owner or custodian of the dog; or
2. The injured, threatened, or killed person was tormenting, abusing, assaulting or
physically threatening the dog or its offspring or has in the past tormented, abused,

handicapped, provided an attack or injury to a person occurs while the dog is performing

act within the city. A dog found to be a vicious dog shall not be released to the owner until
the animal control officer approves the removal of the dog, if the dog is not euthanized. No
owner or keeper of a vicious dog shall sell or give away the dog without court approval.
Any dog which is found to be a vicious dog and has not been removed from the city shall be

order to the circuit court within ten (10) working days, the dog may be euthanized. Upon
filing a notice of appeal, the order of euthanasia shall be automatically stayed pending the

with caring for the dog. The owner shall bear the burden of timely notification to animal
control in writing of the appeal. Guide dogs for the blind or hearing impaired, support dogs
for the physically handicapped, and guard or police owned dogs are exempt from this
subsection, provided an attack or injury to a person occurs while the dog is performing
duties as expected. To qualify for exemption under this subsection, each such dog shall be
currently inoculated against rabies. It is the duty of the owner of such exempted dog to
notify the animal control officer of changes of address. In cases of guard dogs, the owner
shall keep the animal control officer advised of the location where such dog will be
stationed. The animal control officer shall provide police and fire departments with a
categorized list of such exempted dogs and shall promptly notify such departments of any
address changes reported to them.

the animal control officer pursuant to the provisions of section 3-4-9 of this chapter.

which cannot be safely taken up and impounded pursuant to this chapter may be slain by

public health for determination of whether the dog is rabid.

any or all persons from keeping or maintaining any dangerous or vicious dog, to abate the

disposal is not otherwise granted herein. (Ord. 2006-64)
