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. View of the building from Grove Avenue in March 2022, courtesy of Google Street View. 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. 6 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.

ALTERNATIVES The city council may choose to not enter into a redevelopment agreement with South Grove Holdings, or it may choose to enter into a redevelopment agreement with different terms. NEXT STEPS Prepare and execute a redevelopment agreement with South Grove Holdings. That redevelop- ment agreement will be submitted to city council for review and approval. 8 ______________________________________________________________________________ Originators: Marc Mylott, Community Development Director Final Review: Debra Nawrocki, Chief Financial Officer Christopher J.

LegalDeptRedevelop Agr-53-63 Douglas-Final-11-21-25-Clean.docx 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. BUDGET IMPACT FUND ACCOUNT PROJECT # AMOUNT AMOUNT BUDGETED AVAILABLE Riverboat 275-0000-791.30-03 275011 $235,000 $235,000 LEGAL IMPACT The proposed agreement would require an exception to the procurement ordinance, requiring approval by two-thirds of the members of city council. ALTERNATIVES The city council may choose to reject the agreement with Upland Design, Ltd., and direct staff on next steps. NEXT STEPS 1. Execute the agreement with Upland Design, Ltd. 2. Issue directive to Upland Design, Ltd., to begin work.

($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. 2 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. 3 BUDGET IMPACT FUND(S) ACCOUNT(S) PROJECT #(S) AMOUNT AMOUNT 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.

(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.

Version2.3 02052021 City Hall Parking Lot Green Infrastructure Project ATTACHMENT A – Scope of Services 210972.01 January 9, 2026 Page 2 of 10 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. 2.0 Scope of Services The scope of work for professional engineering services includes the following tasks and is further detailed below: • Project Administration and Meetings • Topographic Survey • Environmental Services • Contract Plans and Specifications • Permit Applications • Bidding Support • Grant Management Version2.3 02052021 City Hall Parking Lot Green Infrastructure Project ATTACHMENT A – Scope of Services 210972.01 January 9, 2026 Page 3 of 10 2.1 Project Administration and Meetings Project Administration and Coordination will involve the management oversight of the project which will include the on-going review of the project execution, documentation, schedule and budget, contract file management, and general correspondence between CONSULTANT, CITY and prospective contractors.

Version2.3 02052021 City Hall Parking Lot Green Infrastructure Project ATTACHMENT A – Scope of Services 210972.01 January 9, 2026 Page 4 of 10 Figure 2: Survey Limits 2.2.b Base Map: A survey base drawing will be generated of the existing features collected within the limits described above, and TIN including approximate one-foot contours, according to IDOT standards. The base map will be completed in AutoCAD Civil3D release 2023 for use in CONSULTANT’S internal design. 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. Version2.3 02052021 City Hall Parking Lot Green Infrastructure Project ATTACHMENT A – Scope of Services 210972.01 January 9, 2026 Page 5 of 10 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.

($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.

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.

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: • 57% opposed the ordinance • 38% supported the ordinance • 5% requested additional information before forming an opinion • 88% identified as Elgin residents • 4% identified as business owners • 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.

ALTERNATIVES The city council may request staff from the city and Elgin Development Group to obtain additional information from consumers and business retailers. The city council may also consider amend- ments to any provisions in the proposed ordinance. 9 NEXT STEPS The city council’s direction will guide next steps. Staff will either continue monitoring state-level legislative efforts and provide updates as needed or move forward with the adoption and imple- mentation of the proposed ordinance. _____________________________________________________________________________________________ Originators: Kristin Iftner, Sustainability Manager Jessica VanDyke, Sustainability Coordinator Cassandra Hiller, Assistant City Manager Final Review: Debra Nawrocki, Chief Financial Officer Christopher J.
