AGENDA ITEM: A
MEETING DATE: February 11, 2026
ITEM:
Mixed-Use Redevelopment at 61-65 South Grove Avenue—Redevelopment Agreement with
South Grove Holdings, LLC
($1,781,092)
OBJECTIVE:
Leverage the city’s ability to offer significant economic development incentives to spur the reha-
bilitation of vacant, dilapidated commercial properties in the Downtown.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the redevelopment agreement with South Grove Holdings, LLC to convert the vacant,
two-story building at 61-65 South Grove Avenue into four ground-floor commercial spaces and
six, second-story apartments.
The proposed agreement with South Grove Holdings, LLC contemplates redeveloping the vacant
building at 61-65 South Grove Avenue into ground-floor commercial spaces and second-story
apartments. The total redevelopment costs are $5.1 million. The amount of TIF assistance re-
quested is $1.78 million or 35 percent of all redevelopment costs.
The plans propose six apartments on the second floor: one studio; four, one-bedroom units; and
one, two-bedroom unit. The three apartments on Spring Street will be setback from the street to
provide private rooftop patios. Two commercial spaces and the residential lobby will be fronting
South Grove Avenue with two additional ground level commercial spaces on South Spring Street.
The basement will include a commercial kitchen, meeting room and storage spaces. The fully ac-
cessible building will include an elevator for the first time, along with all new electrical, mechani-
cal and plumbing systems.
The roof of the building partially collapsed in July 2024 and again in August 2025. The developer
has already spent more than $740,000 to stabilize the building and brace and preserve the historic
façades on Grove Avenue and Spring Street. South Grove Holdings purchased the building and 76-
80 S. Grove in September 2025 from Cuming Holdings, LLC.
BACKGROUND
The original, two-story building that fronts South Grove Avenue was constructed around 1885 in
the Italianate style. The one-story addition fronting on Spring Street was built in 1929. The two
buildings together comprise about 8,700 square feet of floor area (prior to the roof collapses and
not including the basement). The two buildings cover the entirety of the nearly 7,100 square feet
of property that consists of lots of record platted as part of James T. Gifford’s Plat of East Elgin.
The South Grove Avenue building housed small-scale retail businesses in the late 1880s, including
a sewing shop at 61 South Grove Avenue and a confectionary candy store at 65 South Grove
Avenue. During the 1890s, uses in the building included sewing machine sales—most notably the
Singer Manufacturing Company—footwear and clothing retailers, alongside bakery and confec-
tionary operations. At the turn of the 20th century, the building continued to support merchants,
clothiers, painters and bakeries, including the Lightner Brothers Bakery.
By 1930, the block reflected the growing diversity of Downtown commerce. The Peoples Store
occupied the first floor at 61 South Grove Avenue, while adjacent spaces housed the Elgin Washer
and Poultry Sales Company, beauty services and The Pie Shop at 63 South Grove Avenue. The 60
South Spring Street building was constructed as a one-story addition to the Grove Avenue build-
ing in 1929 and became home to grocery, restaurant, shoe repair and retail service businesses,
including the Atlantic and Pacific Tea Company and Darnell Restaurant.
The Pie Shop was a well-known tenant of the Grove Avenue building in the 1930s.
The Elgin Camera Shop was a long-standing tenant at 65 South Grove Avenue from the 1940s
through the 1970s, representing one of the building’s most enduring commercial occupants. Dur-
ing this same period, 61–63 South Grove Avenue housed food markets such as the California
Food Mart and Buehler Brothers Meat Market, along with religious, residential and later elec-
tronics retail uses. The South Spring Street addition was occupied for several decades by John B.
Lomedico Shoe Repair before becoming vacant in the 1970s.
2
By 1980, the addresses were rebranded as Fountain Square Plaza, with tenants including David’s
Women’s Clothing and Bathtique Bath Shop, though portions of the building remained vacant.
The property was purchased by David Vargas in 1997 and became home to Rancho Vargas, Vargas
Music and Mexico Travel. Mr. Vargas was approved for a façade improvement grant in November
2002. The work was estimated to cost $105,000 and the city agreed to provide $36,800 or 35
percent of the costs. Mr. Vargas advised the city about one year later that he could not perform
the work and the agreement was formally terminated. Rancho Vargas closed in 2010 and the
building has been vacant since.
Kresmery Properties LLC bought the building in 2014. Redevelopment plans for the Spring-Grove
Lofts, plans that also included the city-owned property immediately to the south, were prepared
by Silva Architects shortly thereafter, but a redevelopment agreement was never executed.
Kresmery Properties sold the property to Cuming Holdings LLC in 2020. Cuming Holdings received
a building permit in August 2021 to remodel the existing building. That work was started, but it
was never completed despite the city extending the building permit three times. The first roof
collapse occurred on or about July 14, 2024, allegedly caused by water ponding on the roof at a
clogged roof drain. The second collapse occurred on or about August 22, 2025, resulting most
likely from a failure to secure the structure after the first collapse.
View of the building from Spring Street following the first roof collapse on or about July 14, 2024.
South Grove Holdings, LLC purchased the building in September 2025 from Cuming Holdings for
$1 million. RRIA Holdings LLC is the manager of South Grove Holdings and Yesenia Echevarria is
3
the manager of RRIA Holdings. Yesenia Echevarria is married to Kevin Echevarria, the operator of
the Dream Hall at 51 South Grove. South Grove Holdings also purchased 76-80 South Grove from
Cuming Holdings at the same time as 61-65 South Grove.
Both buildings are identified as contributing to the Downtown Elgin Commercial District that was
added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2014. The property and most of the surround-
ing properties are zoned CC1 Center City District, except Fountain Square and the city parking lot
to the north of Fountain Square which are zoned PCC Planned Center City District.

The 2018 Elgin Comprehensive Plan includes the specific objectives to pursue adaptive reuse pro-
jects in existing downtown structures and to continue using the existing Central Area TIF District
to proactively assist with improvements to existing buildings, bringing them to current code
standards.
OPERATIONAL ANALYSIS
South Grove Holdings proposes to completely reconstruct the building within the existing four
walls. The total redevelopment cost is approximately $5.09 million, broken down broadly as such:
about $3.71 million for construction/redevelopment; $1 million for the purchase price of the
building; and $380,000 for soft costs. The developer has already spent more than $740,000 to
stabilize the building and preserve the historic façades after the roof collapsed the second time.
The amount of TIF assistance requested is $1.78 million, or 35 percent of all redevelopment costs.
The plans call for six apartments on the second floor: one studio; four, one-bedroom units; and
one, two-bedroom unit. The three apartments facing South Spring Street will be setback from
the street to provide private rooftop patios. Two commercial spaces and the residential lobby
will front South Grove Avenue along with two commercial spaces on South Spring Street. The
4
basement will include a commercial kitchen, meeting room and storage spaces. The fully-acces-
sible building will also include an elevator for the first time, along with all new electrical, mechan-
ical and plumbing systems.
The proposed first-floor floor plan for 61-65 S. Grove, creating four ground-floor commercial tenant spaces. The new elevator is
visible at the bottom middle of the drawing.
The proposed second-floor floor plan for 61-65 S. Grove, creating six apartments. The three apartments facing Spring Street – on
the right-hand-side of the drawing – would have private rooftop patios.
5
The existing South Spring Street brick façade will remain generally as it appears today except
doorways will be rearranged. The developer will attempt to clean the stain from the brick on the
Grove façade. Should cleaning prove unsuccessful, the brick will be re-stained a uniform color.
The coping will be repainted a different but complimentary color. All storefronts, windows and
doors will be new.
Ample parking is available in and around the property. South Grove Avenue has free on-street
parking on both sides of the street. Those spaces have either 30-minute or two-hour time re-
strictions (and no parking 4 a.m. to 6 a.m.) causing them to turn over regularly. Free off-street
public parking is available within the Fountain Square parking lots, the parking lot at the former
Crocker Theater and about one block away within the Fulton Street parking garage. The zoning
ordinance does not require off-street parking for any land use within the CC1 zoning district.
The property includes a small private alley north of the 60 South Spring Street building. South
Grove Holdings has an arrangement with Al’s Café & Creamery and the attorney’s offices at 47
DuPage Court in which that space is shared for trash and recycling.
The salient provisions of the draft redevelopment agreement provide that:
• The city will waive all development-related fees and provide fast-track building permit
review.
• South Grove Holdings will apply for building permits within 90 days of the execution of
the redevelopment agreement.
• South Grove Holdings will commence construction within 120 days of the issuance of
building permits by the city.
• The city has the right to terminate the redevelopment agreement if construction does not
start within 120 days of the issuance of the building permit or within 270 days of the
execution of the redevelopment agreement, whichever comes first.
• South Grove Holdings will substantially complete construction within 18 months from the
commencement of work.
• The city will provide $400,000 in development assistance upon the issuance of the build-
ing permit, then 50 percent of the balance (approximately $690,000) upon a determina-
tion that 50 percent of the redevelopment is complete (beyond demolition and stabiliza-
tion performed to date). The remaining approximately $690,000 will be paid upon the
project being substantially complete (the project is complete except customary punch list
work), the issuance of a temporary or full certificate of occupancy and the provision of
lien waivers by all contractors. South Grove Holdings has not requested additional funding
to cover contingencies.

INTERESTED PERSONS CONTACTED
The upcoming redevelopment of this property was highlighted in a city-produced video posted
to its social media accounts at the end of December 2025.
FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
The total development cost is $5,088,836. That number includes $3,227,147 for construction and
redevelopment; $482,953 for elevation bracing, roof demolition and site stabilization; $999,999
for the purchase of the property; and $378,737 in soft costs.
The amount of assistance proposed from the Central Area TIF is $1,781,092. That amount will be
paid to the developer in three increments after successfully completing associated milestones.
The first payment will be made following the issuance of the building permit ($400,000). The
second payment will occur at the 50-percent completion point of the project (approximately
$690,000). The balance will be paid out upon substantial completion of the project (except cus-
tomary punch list work), the issuance of a temporary or full certificate of occupancy and the
provision of lien waivers by all contractors. The developer’s budget does not include a contin-
gency fee, but the developer has committed to covering any costs above and beyond those cur-
rently budgeted. The total amount of TIF funding equals 35 percent of the total development
costs. The financing gap between total development costs and TIF funding comes from private
equity.
The proposed development agreement contemplates providing the developer with building per-
mit fee waivers. The estimated value of those waivers is about $120,000. Impact fees typically
imposed by Title 17 of the Elgin Municipal Code are exempt because the property is located in
the Central Area TIF. Other development and impact fees owed to other governmental entities
(and not established by the Elgin Municipal Code) cannot be waived, such as those required by
the Kane County Department of Transportation and the Fox River Water Reclamation District.
South Grove Holdings has applied for state and federal historic tax credits, but the amount of
that award (if approved) will most likely not be syndicated. Instead, South Grove Holdings will be
able to use those credits to offset its future tax liabilities. State awards of tax credits are made at
the completion of the project and after acceptance by the Illinois State Historic Preservation Of-
fice of an accounting of qualified rehabilitation expenditures (QREs). State historic tax credits are
equal to the lesser of 25 percent of certified QREs. Federal historic tax credits are equal to 20
percent of the certified QREs. Federal historic tax credits are awarded in 20-percent annual in-
crements over five years.
South Grove Holdings expects to apply for a building permit at the end of February and, once
issued, the project will take 18 months to complete. This schedule contemplates the first and
second payouts occurring in 2026 (approximately $1,090,000) and the final payout in 2027 (ap-
proximately $690,000).
7
South Grove Holdings will pay approximately $6,100 in property taxes in 2025 (tax year 2024).
The city will receive about $900 of that amount and about $1,300 will go to the Central Area TIF.
It appears that the assessed value of the property is significantly depressed, most likely reflecting
the continued decline in the condition of the building. The property will remain on the tax rolls
after the project is complete and it is expected that property tax revenue will increase substan-
tially when it is reassessed upon completion. Any increase will return to the Central Area TIF until
the TIF expires in 2037.
It is possible but not guaranteed that the four ground-floor commercial tenant spaces will gener-
ate local sales tax. These spaces can also request liquor licenses.
The developer expects to offer the six second-story apartments for rent. While exact rents have
not yet been determined, the developer will list the units at market rate. The developer will be
required to obtain a rental license. The 2026 rental license fee for six units is $224. (2027 rental
license fees will be set by City Council in December 2026.)
The Central Area TIF Fund Financial Plan would be amended to include a line item for this initia-
tive if approved by the city council.

the first to arrive of (i) the Construction Commencement Deadline (as same may be extended
as provided herein) or (ii) the first business day that is two hundred seventy (270) days after
the date of the entry into this Agreement, subject, however, to reasonable extension by reason

connection with the Subject Redevelopment, subject to only customary “punchlist” work to be
completed, and has obtained a temporary or final occupancy permit for the building on the Subject
Property.

assigns consider to be contrary to law. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement to
the contrary, in the event the Developer conveys the Subject Property to a for-profit entity during

fees, impact fees, water tap and water meter fees, fire alarm and fire sprinkler permit fees, elevator
permit and initial inspection fees, plan review fees, engineering fees, food handling permit fees,

AGENDA ITEM: B
MEETING DATE: February 11, 2026
ITEM:
Channing Park Improvements—Design and Engineering Services with Upland Design, Ltd.
($189,107)
OBJECTIVE:
Complete the final landscape architectural and engineering design elements, prepare construc-
tion documents, submit permitting documents and provide bid assistance and construction man-
agement for the renovation of Channing Park.
RECOMMENDATION:
Enter into a professional services agreement with Upland Design, Ltd., to provide landscape ar-
chitectural and engineering design services, permitting, bid assistance and construction manage-
ment for Channing Park improvements.
Channing Park is an important community park located adjacent to Channing Memorial Elemen-
tary School on the east side of Elgin. The park requires significant updates, including the current
17-year-old playground, which has exceeded its recommended lifespan, as well as other amenities
such as the tennis courts, walking paths and soccer fields.
To address these needs, Elgin partnered with Upland Design, Ltd., to apply for and receive a 2026
OSLAD (Open Space Land Acquisition and Development) grant in the amount of $600,000 in
matching funds to construct new park amenities, replace the outdated playground equipment, as
well as enhance community access and accessibility to and within the park. As part of the OSLAD
grant application process, city staff worked with Upland to prepare preliminary park plans based
on community feedback gained from both a postcard survey and an on-site public meeting this
past August.
Upon approval of this professional service agreement, staff will continue to work with Upland
Design to refine the park improvement plans for providing comprehensive design services for this
project. Professional services include landscape architectural and engineering design, permitting,
assistance with the bidding process, and construction management. The goal is to complete the
project by 2027.
BACKGROUND
Channing Park is an important community park located adjacent to Channing Memorial Elemen-
tary School on the east side of Elgin. The park requires significant updates, including the current
17-year-old playground, which has exceeded its recommended lifespan, as well as other ameni-
ties such as the walking paths, tennis courts, and the soccer field. The number of opportunities
for improvement within Channing Park led staff to consult with Upland Design to apply for an
OSLAD grant, successfully being awarded $600,000 in matching funds in early 2026.
As part of the OSLAD grant application process, city staff worked with Upland to prepare prelim-
inary park plans based on community feedback gained from both a postcard survey and an on-
site public meeting this past August.
The renovation of Channing Park falls in line with the strategic plans for the city to provide livable
neighborhoods and an inclusive community. With the approval of this proposal, Upland Design
will continue to develop design drawings towards the permitting, bidding, and construction of
the proposed improvements at Channing Park.
OPERATIONAL ANALYSIS
The National Recreation and Parks Association recommends that playgrounds be replaced ap-
proximately every 15 years. Additionally, safety standards for playgrounds evolve over time,
meaning what was considered safe and standard at installation may no longer meet current
guidelines. Repairing the existing playground has become increasingly difficult, as many of the
necessary parts for repairs and replacements are no longer produced by the manufacturer and
are considerably more expensive when they can be found. Given the playground is over 17 years
old and the materials used in its construction have aged poorly, a full replacement is now essen-
tial.
Renovating this park aligns with the city's strategic goals of fostering livable neighborhoods and
creating an inclusive community. Upon approval of this proposal, Upland Design will initiate the
Channing Park improvements by preparing the necessary documentation for the construction of
the proposed park improvements. The proposal also includes site engineering, permitting, bid
assistance, and construction management to ensure the project’s successful completion. Staff
recommends approving the proposal so bidding for the construction phase can take place in the
fall, with the goal of completing the project by 2027.
INTERESTED PERSONS CONTACTED
Local residents were engaged during the initial planning and design phases of the OSLAD Grant
process through both a postcard survey and an in-person outreach event held at the park in Au-
gust 2025. Parks and Recreation staff collaborated with Upland Design, Ltd. to develop the com-
munity survey distributed via postcard and the illustrative boards presented during the outreach
2
event at Channing Park. The Elgin Parks and Recreation Advisory Board was also consulted, and
meetings are planned with representatives from School District U-46.
FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
The proposed agreement includes landscape architectural and engineering design services in the
amount of $189,107. The construction phase of this project will be publicly bid following the
completion of construction drawings and will be presented to the City Council in 2026.

event of joint or concurrent negligence, LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT shall bear only that
portion of the loss or expense that its share of the joint or concurrent negligence bears to
the total negligence (including that of the third parties and Indemnitees) which caused the
personal injury or damage. Nothing stated herein shall be deemed to require the
LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT to indemnify or hold harmless any Indemnitee for its own
negligence or fault. Indemnitees do not waive their defenses or immunities under the Local
Government and Governmental Employees Tort Immunity Act (745 ILCS 10/1 et seq.) by
reason of this indemnification provision. The provisions of this paragraph shall survive any
expiration, completion, and/or termination of this Agreement.

The LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT will not discriminate against any employee or applicant
for employment because of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, ancestry, order
of protection status, familial status, marital status, physical or mental disability, military
status, sexual orientation, or unfavorable discharge from military service which would not
interfere with the efficient performance of the job in question. LANDSCAPE
ARCHITECT shall take affirmative action to comply with the provisions of Elgin
Municipal Code Section 5.02.040 and will require any subcontractor to submit to the City
a written commitment to comply with those provisions. LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT shall

screening, referral and selection of job applicants and prospective subcontractors.
LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT agrees that the provisions of Section 5.02.040 of the Elgin
Municipal Code, 1976, as amended, is hereby incorporated by reference, as if set out
verbatim.
No person shall be denied or subjected to discrimination in receipt of the benefit of any
services or activities made possible by or resulting from this Agreement on the grounds of
race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, ancestry, order of protection status, familial
status, marital status, physical or mental disability, military status, sexual orientation, or
unfavorable discharge from military service.
Any violation of this paragraph shall be considered a violation of a material provision of

and other provisions of this Agreement and the LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT shall remain
liable to the CITY with respect to each and every item, condition and other provision hereof

proposed subcontractor shall require the CITY’s advanced written approval.
17. NO CO-PARTNERSHIP OR AGENCY
This Agreement shall not be construed so as to create a partnership, joint venture,
employment or other agency relationship between the parties hereto.
18. SEVERABILITY
The parties intend and agree that, if any paragraph, sub-paragraph, phrase, clause or other
provision of this Agreement, or any portion thereof, shall be held to be void or otherwise
unenforceable, all other portions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.
19. HEADINGS
The headings of the several paragraphs of this Agreement are inserted only as a matter of
convenience and for reference and in no way are they intended to define, limit or describe
the scope of intent of any provision of this Agreement, nor shall they be construed to affect
in any manner the terms and provisions hereof or the interpretation or construction thereof.
20. MODIFICATION OR AMENDMENT

SCOPE OF SERVICES
Background: Channing Park is located at 35 Rugby Place in the City of Elgin, Illinois. A public
planning process was held in 2025 to update the park with new features based on community input
and needs. An Illinois Department of Natural Resources Open Space Land Acquisition and
Development (OSLAD) Grant was then submitted for improvements to the park. The proposed
improvements include the following:
Playground with accessible turf surfacing
24’ x 24’ Shelter
Accessible Game Area
Tennis Court renovation
Futsal Court installation
Soccer Field improvements
Rain Garden & Educational Signage
Site Furniture
Landscape Improvements
Potential additional park amenities and landscape features
Project Scope: Upland Design Ltd., along with civil engineering assistance by Engineering
Resource Associates (ERA), propose to accomplish the following work items to assist the City
with development of construction documents, permitting, bidding, and construction
administration. An approximate timeline is included in Attachment B, and actual dates will be set
to accommodate City of Elgin needs and grant requirements. The project is to be implemented
through public bidding and construction by a contractor.
Base Information and Soil Borings: A topographic survey was completed in 2025 and will be
used as a base for project planning. Soil borings are needed, and those will be completed by
Pioneer Engineering and Environmental Services, LLC, at tennis courts, the futsal court and the
shelter location. Upon award of grant, IDNR will notify the City if archeological survey work is
required. Upland will hire this surveyor if needed.

ITEM:
City Hall Parking Lot Sustainable Design Project—Design Engineering Services Agreement for the
with HR Green, Inc.
($116,311)
OBJECTIVE:
Provide design engineering services necessary to complete the EPA grant-funded City Hall Sus-
tainable Parking Lot Sustainable Design Project.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the agreement for design engineering services with HR Green, Inc., in the amount of
$116,311.
The city recently received Illinois EPA Green Infrastructure Grant Funding to include sustainable
construction practices aimed at reducing storm water runoff and pollution discharge in conjunc-
tion with traditional parking lot improvements at City Hall. Approval of this agreement will pro-
vide for the engineering services necessary to complete the final design, prepare bid documents,
and award the construction contract. If approved, the construction will include green infrastruc-
ture best management practices (BMPs) that prevent, eliminate, or reduce stormwater runoff into
Illinois' rivers, streams, and lakes, including rain gardens, permeable pavers, native plantings, and
an oil and grit separator. Plans will also include construction of necessary underground infrastruc-
ture to prepare the site for future EV charging facilities.
BACKGROUND
During the planning phase for the city hall parking lot resurfacing in 2021, staff recognized the
opportunity to incorporate new technology and storm water best management practices in order
to capitalize on several sustainability grant programs. In April of that year, staff presented several
sustainable storm water design options for council consideration, including the use of rain gar-
dens in select locations, permeable pavement/pavers and bioswales. Based upon comments re-
ceived staff proceeded to apply for Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA) Section 319
grant funding and IEPA Green Infrastructure Grant Opportunity Funding (GIGO) to cover for 60-
75 percent of the sustainable features included in the project. Unfortunately, neither application
was selected for funding.
Shortly afterwards, the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) was signed, and additional
funding opportunities arose for a variety of uses, including fleet electrification and charging net-
work expansion. Staff revised the original parking lot sustainable design to qualify for the electri-
fication incentives by proposing 32 Level 3/Fast Charge EV charging stations within the revised
plan and presented it to council in November 2022 as part of the FY 2023 budget discussions. The
revised plan did not gain significant support in part due to overall project cost and the loss of
parking spaces required to accommodate the proposed level of storm water improvements. Staff
were encouraged to continue with the storm water improvement concept and funding opportu-
nities if design revisions could reduce parking stall removals.
Staff reviewed the level of storm water benefits required to qualify for funding consideration and
made further revisions to the plan by reducing the number and area of proposed rain gardens.
The final iteration removed eight rain gardens and reduced the size of two others but added a
grit separator device that would remove particulate debris from the storm water flow before it
enters the Fox River. This iteration will require the loss of 14 of the 336 available parking spaces,
down from the previous proposal which required the loss of 30 parking spaces. The final revised
plan was submitted for the 2023 GIGO funding cycle, and staff were notified in August of 2024
that the project would receive the requested funding. In July 2025, staff received the grant agree-
ment which is being presented with this initiative.

OPERATIONAL ANALYSIS
If approved, design efforts will occur between February and July 2026. Construction contract bid-
ding will follow in August 2026. Construction is anticipated to occur primarily from September
through November 2026, although some planting may be held until the Spring of 2027.
In addition to the typical pavement construction items such as curb and gutter replacement,
storm sewer, and asphalt resurfacing, the project will include the following green infrastructure
elements:
• Eighteen raingardens totaling 8,300 square feet
• 13,700 square feet of traditional asphalt conversion to permeable pavers
• One oil and grit separator structure placed on the existing storm sewer trunkline
• 8,100 square feet of turf and traditional landscaping converted to native plant gardens.
INTERESTED PERSONS CONTACTED
Illinois EPA
FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
The proposed agreement contemplates design engineering services in an amount not to exceed
$116,311. The construction phase of this project will be bid following the completion of design
engineering work and is anticipated to be presented to council for approval in August 2026.
The overall project cost inclusive of engineering and construction expenses is estimated at
$1,062,529, of which $712,450 is attributable to the green infrastructure elements as shown be-
low:
Item Cost
Rain Gardens $353,205
Permeable Pavers $230,059
Oil and Grit Separator Structure $ 62,582
Native Plant Gardens $ 66,604
Total Expense: $712,450
Illinois EPA grants will cover $534,338, or 75 percent, of the green infrastructure costs. The city’s
share will be $528,191, which includes 25% share of the green infrastructure total plus all typical
resurfacing costs.

BUDGETED AVAILABLE
Central Area TIF 262-0000-791.30-03 262302 $1,276,000 $1,276,000
LEGAL IMPACT
The proposed agreement would require an exception to the procurement ordinance, requiring
approval by two-thirds of the members of the city council.
ALTERNATIVES
The city council may choose to reject the agreement with HR Green, Inc. Staff will then pursue
alternative design options based upon council comments. Limited staff resources, however, will
cause delays in finalizing the design and possibly delay construction into the next construction
season.
NEXT STEPS
1. Execute the agreement with HR Green, Inc.
2. Issue directive to engineer to begin work.

1.0 Project Understanding
1.1 General Understanding
HR Green, Inc. (CONSULTANT) is being retained by the City of Elgin, Illinois (CITY) to
provide professional engineering services to prepare contract plans and specifications for
drainage improvements to the City Hall parking within the City of Elgin. CONSULTANT
prepared a grant application in October 2023 requesting funds through the Illinois
Environmental Protection Agency’s (IEPA) Green Infrastructure Grant Opportunity (GIGO)
program. The project was awarded $534,338.00 through the GIGO program. This
amount represented 75% of the total eligible cost in 2023 dollars. Certain items, including
HMA resurfacing, were not grant eligible and therefore not accounted for in the requested
grant amount. The project location is pictured in Figure 1 below.
Figure 1: Project Location – Elgin City Hall parking lot
Per the grant agreement, the project is required to include the following green infrastructure
items into the proposed design:
• 18 rain gardens (total 8,300 square feet)
• 13,700 square feet of permeable pavers
• 1 oil and grit separator
• 8,100 square feet of native plant gardens
As part of the grant agreement, the CITY is required to complete certain tasks related to
the grant management. This includes quarterly reports, documentation of the proposed
Best Management Practices (BMPs), preparation of an Operation and Maintenance Plan
and final Project Report. CONSULTANT will assist CITY with grant management as
outlined below.

1.2 Design Criteria/Assumptions
The following assumptions have been made in preparing this scope:
• The proposed improvements are funded utilizing the CITY’s general funds and the
GIGO funds from the IEPA. No other grants are being utilized.
• The proposed improvements will outlet to the CITY’s storm sewer system. The project
will not result in increases in flow and therefore no detailed modeling of the downstream
system will be required.
• CONSULTANT will submit a JULIE design ticket to obtain maps from applicable
franchise utilities. The design ticket will be used to reach out to existing utility
companies.
• CONSULTANT reviewed the Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) and found that no
FEMA flood study exists for the project location. Therefore, floodplain permitting is not
included in the scope of the project.
• The work will be located in an existing right-of-way (ROW) and on CITY owned property.
• The parking lot will not be fully reconstructed. The existing reverse crown will remain
in place with minor modifications to direct runoff into the stormwater BMPs.
• The contract plans and specifications and construction pay items will generally be those
meeting the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) Standard Specifications for
Road and Bridge Construction in Illinois (SSRBC). CITY and Illinois Urban Manual
(IUM) details will be used where applicable.
• It is assumed that no temporary easements, permanent easements and/or property
acquisitions needed for this project prior to bidding.

2.3 Environmental Services
The following environmental services will be provided:
2.3.a Soils Testing: CONSULTANT will utilize SUB-CONSULTANT to complete up to one (1)
soil borings and three (3) pavement cores on the site. It is assumed that the borings will be to a
depth of ten (10) feet below existing grade. Soil sampling will include split-barrel samples
(ASTM D 1586) or thin-walled tube samples on cohesive soils (ASTM D 1587) at 2 ½ - foot
intervals to a depth of 10 feet. If unsuitable bearing soils are encountered within the borings will
be extended an additional 5 feet to attempt to end the borings in suitable soils. If unsuitable
soils persist at the end of an additional 5 feet the CITY will be contacted prior to demobilizing.
Unsuitable soils will be defined by field personnel using the following criteria:
• Cohesive soils with an N value less than or equal to 6.
• Granular soils with an N-value less than 10.
• Black cohesive or silty soil with visible signs of organic matter and / or organic odor and
low blow counts as described above.
Upon completion of drilling, the borings will be backfilled with soil cuttings and capped with
similar existing material. Some damage to ground surface may result from the drilling
operations near the work areas and along ingress/egress pathways. SUB-CONSULTANT will
attempt to minimize such damage, but no restoration other than backfilling the soil test borings
is included. It should be noted that over time, some settlement may occur in the bore hole.

The soil samples obtained during the field exploration program will be transported to the
laboratory for classification and a limited number of laboratory tests. The nature and extent of
the laboratory testing program is at the discretion of SUB-CONSULTANT and will depend upon
the subsurface conditions encountered during drilling.
The following soil borings and pavement cores are proposed:
• One soil boring and pavement core at the approximate location of the proposed oil
and grit separator
• Two pavement cores in various locations within the parking lot.
As a result of legislation enacted by the Illinois General Assembly and signed into law on July 30,
2010, by the Governor of Illinois, Public Act 096-1416, regulating disposal of Clean Construction
or Demolition Debris (CCDD), disposal of construction or demolition debris requires a certification
from an Illinois registered Professional Engineer that soils generated during construction activities
are uncontaminated. The proposed geotechnical borings be screened onsite using a Photo
Ionization Detector (PID) for presence of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC’s). Up to two (2) soil
samples will be submitted to a certified laboratory qualified to test the soil for the Illinois
Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA) Site Remediation Program Target Compound List. The
laboratory results will be compared to Part 742, Tier Approach to Corrective Action Objectives
(TACO), Table A. Based on the results of environmental records review and soil sampling, SUB-
CONSULTANT will provide Professional Engineer (P.E.) certification for the soils generated
during construction activities that are appropriate for disposal at a permitted CCDD facility. The
P.E. certification will be provided on Illinois Environmental Protection Agency form LPC-663.
If contaminants are found, then additional testing may be required outside the scope of this
project. Additional testing may include additional borings, supplemental PESA and PSI which are
not included in this scope. Additional soils investigations can be provided for an additional fee.

Various West-Side Streets 2026 Resurfacing Project—Design Engineering Services Agreement
with Hampton, Lenzini and Renwick, Inc.
($200,160)
OBJECTIVE:
Analyze, design, and prepare construction documents for the resurfacing of various residential
streets for the 2026 various streets resurfacing program on the city’s west side.
RECOMMENDATION:
Enter into a professional services agreement with Hampton, Lenzini and Renwick, Inc., to provide
road program design engineering services in an amount not to exceed $200,160.
Hampton, Lenzini and Renwick, Inc., is providing design engineering services for a portion of the
city’s 2026 Neighborhood Street Resurfacing program, which includes various residential streets
located on the city’s west side. Hampton, Lenzini and Renwick’s design work will focus on pave-
ment repairs, milling and resurfacing, roadway drainage, and ADA sidewalk upgrades. Upon com-
pleting the design engineering services, the city will advertise and award a construction contract
to perform the street resurfacing during the 2026 construction season.
BACKGROUND
The city has regularly budgeted for an annual neighborhood street resurfacing program designed
to maintain and improve minor arterial and residential streets throughout the city. A portion of
the 2026 program will target streets located across the city’s west side, including portions of Todd
Farm Drive and Court, Countryside Drive, Braeburn Drive, Lawrence Avenue, Heine Avenue,
Triggs Avenue, Sexauer Avenue, Hoxie Avenue, S. Lyle Avenue, Maple Street, Second Street, Erie
Street, Mosely Street, and Oak Street. Resurfacing work will generally include pavement milling
and resurfacing, Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) sidewalk access improvements, and minor
drainage and sewer structure maintenance.
OPERATIONAL ANALYSIS
The city regularly utilizes engineering consulting firms to provide engineering design services for
capital projects, including roadway improvements. This agreement allows for project design, plan
preparation, IDOT documentation and coordination, bidding, and contracting services that must
precede construction work. A separate construction contract will be presented to the city council
for review and approval after construction bids are received.
If approved, design efforts will take place from February 2026 through June 2026 and will culmi-
nate in the advertisement and bidding of the construction contract. Construction is anticipated
to occur from July through October 2026.
INTERESTED PERSONS CONTACTED
None.
FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
The proposed agreement contemplates design engineering services in an amount not to exceed
$200,160. The construction phase of this project will be bid following the completion of design
engineering work and is anticipated to be presented to council for approval in July 2026.

LEGAL IMPACT
The proposed agreement requires an exception to the procurement ordinance, which requires
approval by two-thirds of the members of the city council.
ALTERNATIVES
The city council may choose to reject the agreement with Hampton, Lenzini and Renwick, Inc.
Staff will then be responsible for preparing plans, specifications, and estimates. Limited staff re-
sources, however, will cause delays in finalizing the design and possibly delay construction into
the next construction season.
NEXT STEPS
1. Execute the agreement with Hampton, Lenzini and Renwick, Inc.
2. Issue directive to engineer to begin work.

Retailer Single-Use Plastic Bags Regulation
($18,000)
OBJECTIVE:
Provide information on consumer and retail business reactions to a proposed ordinance imposing
a ban of the use of single-use plastic bags by certain retailers at checkout, while allowing con-
sumers to purchase recycled paper bags at ten cents each with those fees being retained by the
retailer to offset costs.
RECOMMENDATION:
The city council can choose to defer adopting the proposed ordinance imposing a ban of the use
of single-use plastic bags by certain retailers at checkout in anticipation of statewide regulation.
This option promotes regulatory consistency and avoids placing Elgin retailers at a competitive
disadvantage relative to their competitors in surrounding communities. The city council may al-
ternatively choose to adopt the proposed ordinance imposing a ban of the use of single-use plas-
tic bags by certain retailers at checkout with an effective date in the first quarter of 2027 to allow
time for retailer preparation, community education and enforcement readiness.
The city’s sustainability commission on April 22, 2025 recommended adopting an ordinance ban-
ning Elgin retailers from offering single-use plastic bags to consumers at sales checkout. With
Elgin’s Climate Action and Resiliency Plan including provisions for identifying opportunities to re-
duce the use and distribution of plastic and single-use items in Elgin, the sustainability commission
determined that banning retailers from offering single-use plastic bags by retailers is an effective
means for reducing plastic consumption in the city. On the following day, April 23, 2025, the city
council directed staff to begin work for implementing an ordinance modeled after legislation be-
ing proposed in the Illinois General Assembly called the “Single-Use Bag Reduction Act.”
The proposed ordinance (modeled after the “Single-Use Bag Reduction Act”) prohibits retailers
from offering “a single-use checkout bag to consumers at the point of sale or otherwise make a
single-use checkout bag available to consumers.” The proposed ordinance allows retailers to “of-
fer a recycled paper bag or reusable bag to consumers” and to charge the consumer ten cents for
each recycled paper bag. The ten-cent fee is retained by the retailer to offset the costs for pur-
chasing and providing a recycled paper bag option. The proposed ordinance enables individuals
enrolled in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), Special Supplemental
Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) and similar assistance programs to
request recycled paper bags without having to pay the ten-cent fee.
The proposed ordinance exempts certain retail establishments from the single-use plastic ban.
Restaurants, gas station convenience stores and “small retail mercantile establishments” are not
prohibited from offering single-use plastic bags. A “small retail mercantile establishment” is de-
fined as any business with twelve or fewer locations in Illinois and 250 or fewer full-time employ-
ees. Staff from the city and the Elgin Development Group (EDG) identified 42 Elgin-based retailers
that could be banned from supplying single-use plastic bags to their customers at checkout under
the proposed ordinance.
City and EDG staff conducted extensive community and business outreach. Elgin consumers pro-
vided 2,185 survey responses. Fifty-seven percent of those respondents opposed the proposed
ordinance while 38 percent expressed support. A small number of respondents, five percent, re-
quested additional information.
Consumer concerns objecting to the proposed ordinance focused on cost (for purchasing recycled
paper bags), equity impacts, implementation and enforcement challenges and the potential ef-
fects on local businesses, particularly given the absence of similar requirements in neighboring
communities. Supportive feedback for the proposed ordinance emphasized concerns about plastic
pollution, litter, public health, environmental impacts and the need for action. Many community
members indicated openness to reducing plastic bag use if approaches are perceived as equitable
and supported by clear environmental outcomes.
The EDG hosted an in-person meeting this past October for 42 potentially impacted retailers.
Seven representatives attended and feedback was received from eleven other retailers. The EDG
then conducted later additional outreach with the retailers unable to attend. The Engage Elgin
webpage and online survey also launched concurrently with the retailer meeting. Informational
flyers were provided to retailers for in-store distribution and social media was used to direct resi-
dents to additional information and the survey.
Retailer feedback is generally opposed to the ordinance. While supportive of sustainability goals,
businesses raised concerns relating to added cost burdens on customers during a period of rising
prices; the potential loss of customers to neighboring communities without similar regulations;
customer interactions and impacts on staff safety, staffing levels and sanitation; increased oper-
ating costs, particularly for paper bags and self-checkout monitoring; and broader economic con-
ditions amplifying financial and operational challenges.
The data obtained by city and EDG staff from their extensive consumer and retailer outreach sug-
gests two primary policy options for consideration by the city council. The city council can choose
to defer adopting the proposed ordinance in anticipation of statewide legislation like the Single-
Use Plastic Bag Reduction Act. This option promotes regulatory consistency and avoids placing
Elgin retailers at a competitive disadvantage relative to their competitors in surrounding commu-
nities. The city council may also choose to adopt the proposed ordinance imposing a ban of the
2
use of single-use plastic bags by certain retailers at checkout with a mid-year effective date in
2027 to allow time for retailer preparation, community education and enforcement readiness.
BACKGROUND
The sustainability commission on April 22, 2025 presented research and recommendations to the
city council regarding single-use plastic bags. Research indicates that retail bag bans can reduce
plastic bag use, environmental litter and encourage shifts toward reusable alternatives over time.
The city council on April 23, 2025 directed staff to begin work for implementing an ordinance
modeled after legislation being proposed in the Illinois General Assembly called the “Single-Use
Bag Reduction Act” (Senate Bill 1872, 104th General Assembly, 2025-26). SB 1872 was introduced
in spring 2025 and proposed a statewide prohibition on single-use plastic checkout bags, along
with standards for alternative bags and fees. SB 1872 is currently in committee (assignments) and
has not been enacted.
The proposed ordinance (modeled after SB 1872) prohibits retailers from offering “a single-use
checkout bag to consumers at the point of sale or otherwise make a single-use checkout bag
available to consumers.” The proposed ordinance allows retailers to “offer a recycled paper bag
or reusable bag to consumers” and to charge the consumer ten cents for each recycled paper
bag. The ten-cent fee is retained by the retailer to offset the costs for purchasing and providing
a recycled paper bag option. The proposed ordinance enables individuals enrolled in the Supple-
mental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for
Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) and similar assistance programs to request recycled paper
bags without having to pay the ten-cent fee.
The proposed ordinance exempts certain retail establishments from the single-use plastic ban.
Restaurants, gas station convenience stores and “small retail mercantile establishments” are not
prohibited from offering single-use plastic bags.
A “small retail mercantile establishment” is defined as any business with twelve or fewer loca-
tions in Illinois and 250 or fewer full-time employees. Staff from the city and the Elgin Develop-
ment Group (EDG) identified 42 Elgin-based retailers that could be banned from supplying single-
use plastic bags to their customers at checkout under the proposed ordinance.
Elgin’s Climate Action and Resiliency Plan including provisions for identifying opportunities to
reduce the use and distribution of plastic and single-use items in Elgin, the sustainability commis-
sion determined that banning retailers from offering single-use plastic bags by retailers is an ef-
fective means for reducing plastic consumption in the city.
Nationally, more than 330 communities and 12 states have adopted policies addressing single-
use plastic bags. Regionally, Batavia and Northbrook enacted bag ordinances within the past
three years and have reported reductions in plastic bag distribution. A study of 33 stores in New
Jersey subject to a bag law found a 96 percent reduction in bags distributed or sold per store per
week, equating to more than 90 million fewer bags over an eight-month period. Additional
3
research on policy design suggests that combining plastic bag bans with fees on paper checkout
bags can further reduce overall bag use by encouraging behavior change at the point of sale.
City staff conducted a multi-channel public engagement process to gather feedback on the pro-
posed ordinance. Input was collected through online and paper surveys, in-person community
outreach, and direct engagement with local retailers. Engagement methods were designed to
reach both residents and impacted businesses and to provide multiple opportunities for partici-
pation. Outreach efforts included meetings with retailers, a dedicated Engage Elgin webpage,
social media announcements, and tabling at community events and local businesses. A commu-
nity survey was offered in both online and paper formats and made available in English and Span-
ish.
Retailer Feedback
The EDG hosted an in-person meeting for potentially impacted retailers this past October. Rep-
resentatives from 42 retailers were invited. Seven attended and feedback was received from
eleven other retailers. The EDG then conducted later additional outreach to retailers that were
unable to attend. The Engage Elgin webpage and online survey launched concurrently with the
retailer meeting. Informational flyers were provided to retailers for in-store distribution and so-
cial media was used to direct residents to additional information and the survey.
The following table lists the retailers contacted by EDG and those providing comment.

Retailer feedback is generally opposed to the ordinance. While supportive of sustainability goals,
businesses raised concerns relating to:
• Added cost burdens on customers during a period of rising prices
• Potential loss of customers to neighboring communities without similar regulations
• Customer interactions and impacts on staff safety, staffing levels, and sanitation
• Increased operating costs, particularly for paper bags and self-checkout monitoring
• Broader economic conditions amplifying financial and operational challenges
Retailers indicated that, if adopted, city-provided signage and reusable bags could assist with
implementation but would not address underlying economic concerns. Many retailers noted
awareness of SB 1872 and expressed that a statewide approach would be more appropriate to
ensure consistency across jurisdictions.
Consumer Feedback
Participation in the engagement process was voluntary, and survey responses reflect the per-
spectives of those who chose to participate. The survey was open to the public and designed to
gather community input on the proposed ordinance. While survey results are not intended to
serve as a statistically representative sample, they provide valuable insight into community per-
spectives and recurring themes raised during the engagement process.
The community survey received 2,185 responses. Of those respondents:

• Responses were received across all Elgin ZIP codes
In addition to the survey, staff conducted outreach at eight community events between October
and December 2025, including library events, school presentations, college fairs, and tabling at
local retailers. Feedback gathered through in-person outreach was generally consistent with sur-
vey responses. Survey results are summarized below.
Fifty-seven percent (57%) of respondents indicated opposition to the proposed ordinance. Op-
position centered on concerns about cost, equity, effectiveness, and practical impacts, particu-
larly for consumers and local businesses, rather than disagreement with environmental goals.
5
The key themes from respondents opposed to the ordinance are:
• Concern about consumer and business impacts. Many respondents view bag fees as an
added financial burden during a period of rising grocery prices, taxes, and cost-of-living
pressures. Respondents also expressed concern that the ordinance will place Elgin retail-
ers at a competitive disadvantage compared to neighboring communities without similar
requirements. Many indicated they will shop outside Elgin if single-use plastic bags are
banned and fees are imposed to purchase recyclable paper bags, raising concerns about
impacts on local businesses and sales tax revenue.
• Concern that the ordinance will disproportionately impact marginalized residents. Re-
spondents expressed concern that the ordinance will disproportionately affect low-in-
come households, seniors on fixed incomes, people with disabilities and residents who
rely on walking, transit, or delivery services. Several comments noted that individuals
who do not qualify for assistance programs may still experience financial hardship.
• Many respondents reuse single-use plastic bags. Many respondents reported reusing
plastic checkout bags for household purposes such as trash liners, pet waste and food
storage. Respondents expressed concern that banning these bags will lead to increased
purchases of alternative plastic products, potentially offsetting environmental benefits.
• Respondents questioned the ordinance’s environmental effectiveness. Respondents ques-
tioned whether the ordinance will meaningfully reduce plastic waste, noting that many
retail products are already packaged in plastic.
• Respondents had general opposition to the paper bag fee. While some respondents sup-
ported reducing plastic bags, many opposed charging for paper bags, which are widely
viewed as recyclable and an appropriate free alternative. Charging for paper bags was
frequently perceived as shifting the policy toward a revenue-generating measure.
• Disagreement with government role and jurisdiction to implement. Some respondents
characterized the ordinance as government overreach and suggested that bag regula-
tions are more appropriate at the state or federal level to ensure consistency and avoid
uneven impacts across municipalities.
• Concerns on convenience and hygiene. Respondents cited practical challenges such as
forgetting reusable bags, sanitation issues, paper bags tearing in wet weather and diffi-
culties carrying reusable bags, particularly for seniors and residents with mobility limita-
tions.
• Preference for pursuing an alternative approach. Several respondents suggested alterna-
tives such as providing free or subsidized reusable bags, offering incentives rather than
penalties, or focusing on education and voluntary behavior change.
6
Supportive feedback (38%) emphasized environmental protection, litter reduction, public health
and alignment with the city’s sustainability objectives and actions taken in other jurisdictions.
Some supportive respondents raised concerns related to equity. Overall, respondents wanted
timely and action-oriented measures to reduce plastic waste.
Key themes from respondents in-support of the ordinance are:
• Need for environmental protection and plastic reduction. Supportive respondents con-
sistently cited concerns about plastic pollution and environmental degradation. Plastic
bags were frequently described as persistent contaminants and a visible source of litter
in local waterways, including the Fox River, as well as in neighborhoods, roadways, retail
areas, trees and storm drains.
• Protect wildlife. Respondents emphasized the harmful impacts of plastic bags on wildlife,
including ingestion, entanglement and injury.
• Reduce microplastics and protect public health. Many comments referenced microplas-
tics and their potential effects on human health, framing plastic pollution as both an en-
vironmental and public health concern affecting water, food systems and long-term well-
being.
• Decrease reliance on fossil fuels. Supportive feedback links plastic bag reduction to de-
creased reliance on fossil fuels and lower greenhouse gas emissions.
• Support for decisive actions. Many respondents favored clear and enforceable measures,
including bans or strong disincentives to encourage behavior change.
• Positive experiences elsewhere. Several respondents cited personal experience with sim-
ilar policies in other jurisdictions (cities, states and countries) or at retailers such as Aldi
and Sam’s Club, describing them as effective and manageable.
• Alignment with city sustainability goals. Supporters frequently identified the ordinance
as consistent with Elgin’s Climate Action and Resiliency Plan and broader environmental
commitments.
• Behavioral change and reusable alternatives are already underway. Many residents indi-
cated that bringing reusable bags is already part of their routine and suggested that con-
tinued education and outreach could further normalize this practice.
• Equity and fee structure considerations. Exemptions for SNAP, WIC, and similar programs
were viewed positively, though some respondents expressed ongoing concern for resi-
dents outside assistance programs, including seniors, people with disabilities, and low-
income households.
7
Approximately five percent of the respondents indicated they needed more information before
forming an opinion. These comments generally expressed openness to reducing plastic bags but
sought clarification on policy details, how equity concerns would be addressed, and evidence of
effectiveness.
OPERATIONAL ANALYSIS
When summarizing the responses received from the consumers and retailers, a majority of the
consumer respondents opposed the ordinance, citing cost and equity concerns rather than op-
position to environmental goals. Retailers raised concerns regarding increased costs to custom-
ers, potential loss of business to neighboring communities, impacts on staff interactions and
safety and higher operating costs. Many residents expressed opposition to charging for paper
bags, viewing fees as an added burden amid rising cost-of-living pressures. Supportive respond-
ents emphasized environmental benefits, litter reduction, and alignment with the city’s sustain-
ability goals.
The data obtained by city and EDG staff from their extensive consumer and retailer outreach
suggests two primary policy options for consideration by the city council. The city council can
choose to defer adopting the proposed ordinance in anticipation of statewide legislation like the
Single-Use Plastic Bag Reduction Act (SB 1872). This option promotes regulatory consistency and
avoids placing Elgin retailers at a competitive disadvantage relative to their competitors in sur-
rounding communities. The city council may also choose to adopt the proposed ordinance im-
posing a ban of the use of single-use plastic bags by certain retailers at checkout with an effective
date in the first quarter of 2027 to allow time for retailer preparation, community education and
enforcement readiness.
Should the city council choose to defer local regulation and await statewide legislation, the city
will continue monitoring state-level efforts related to single-use plastic bags. The city will remain
engaged in regional and state sustainability discussions and continue implementing other actions
identified in the Climate Action and Resiliency Plan. This approach enables the city to align with
any future Illinois legislation if enacted.
Community and business owners expressed a preference for consistent state or regional ap-
proaches rather than patchwork, city-by-city regulations. Retailers indicated that statewide
standards reduce competitive disadvantages and simplify compliance among retailers. Residents
concerned about cost and equity noted that statewide action may provide more uniform exemp-
tions and implementation.
Deferring local action will reduce administrative burdens on the city’s retailers and mitigate po-
tential negative economic impacts on their businesses. While timing, content and adoption of
future state legislation remain uncertain, in the interim, the city can continue voluntary educa-
tion, outreach and waste-reduction initiatives.
8
Adopting an ordinance prohibiting single-use plastic bags during checkout at qualifying retailers
aligns with the city’s Climate Action and Resiliency Plan, particularly strategies related to waste
reduction and minimizing the use of single-use plastics. A mid-year effective date in 2027 is rec-
ommended to allow time for retailer preparation, community education and enforcement read-
iness.
Estimated first-year costs to the city are approximately $18,000 for education materials, signage
and any potential reusable bag distribution to at-risk residents. Enforcement will be conducted
by neighborhood services department staff, requiring training and a reallocation of operational
capacity. Retailers indicated that city-provided signage and reusable bags will assist with imple-
mentation but not fully address broader economic concerns.

Should the city council choose to adopt the proposed ordinance, estimated first-year costs are
approximately $18,000 for education materials, signage and any potential reusable bag distribu-
tion. Enforcement will be conducted by the neighborhood services department staff, requiring
staff training and allocation of additional operational capacity.
