G. PUBLIC FORUM:
City Comprehensive Plan RFP
Mike Nicholus spoke in favor of developing a strategic and expansive plan prior
to selecting a consultant.

not envisioned to be expansive. She said the City is committed to sustainability
issues and stated that sustainability does not necessarily need to be included in
the comprehensive plan to be addressed by the City.
City Comprehensive Plan RFP
Marilyn Schweitzer, Naperville, spoke in favor of developing a strategic and

City Council Meeting Minutes March 5, 2019
Jodi Trendler, Naperville, spoke in favor of developing a strategic and expansive
plan prior to selecting a consultant.
Council discussed the appropriateness of reissuing the RFP for a larger scope
including some of the recommended changes.
Laff explained that the RFP responses were received last week. She said the
funds were awarded based on the calendar year, the award of contract is
expected in May, and the project completed by the end of December. She
stated that the update will include a review of ten geographic areas and current
land use trends including housing/retail/demographic. She explained that a
more expansive plan would two years and be double the cost because livability
and healthy cities are topics beyond the typical land use update.
Council discussed the appropriate scope to get a comprehensive answer,
including input from the sustainability task force at each stage, the need to
change the name to a Land Use Plan, explain that the plan will focus on land
that is yet to be developed and what will be redeveloped.
Laff explained the Senior Task Force Seal of Approval, that developers are
encouraged to meet with the Task Force, and this can be applied to the
sustainability group. She said it would not be appropriate for the group to make
policy decisions, however it could endorse development proposals.

J. PUBLIC HEARINGS:
1. Conduct the public hearing for the establishment of Special Service Area No. 30 for
streetscape improvements on portions of blocks 429 and 430 of the downtown area in
the City of Naperville (Item 1 of 2)
Steve Rubin, Naperville, described the improvements to be made, the
partnership with the businesses, and recommended SSA No. 30 at a cost
share of 75% City and 25% property owners.
Marilyn Schweitzer, Naperville, commended Mr. Rubin on investing in the
downtown.
Council discussed the appropriateness of the proposed cost share
arrangement, the split of other cost share arrangements, and the specific action
requested.
DiSanto explained that it would be appropriate for Council to decide a range or
specific dollar amount for the split then the public will be given 60 days to
support or object to the proposed arrangement. He said if more than 50% of
owners object, the SSA will fail as matter of law.
Rubin explained that the cost share arrangement has changed due to
pressures on property owners and property tax increases.
Krieger explained the preferred SSA timeline, the impact of the future expiration
of SSA 21, and that the project can still move forward if the financing piece is
delayed.
Curran stated the water/wastewater components are over 100 years old and
should be replaced in conjunction with the streetscape project.
Council discussed the cost pass-through to the tenants, that the estimated cost
City of Naperville Page 5 Printed on 4/17/2019
City Council Meeting Minutes March 5, 2019
per department has not been determined but will be included as part of the 2020
CIP, whether SSA 30 is precedent-setting, that sidewalk improvements are a
benefit to many people, the strategy to proceed block by block, input from the
property owners to date and the appropriateness of finalizing the cost share
arrangement, that retail challenges are applicable citywide not just in the
downtown, and lessons learned from the Ogden Avenue cost share agreement.
Novack estimated the total project at $15M, that staff supports a 55/45 split with
the City paying for base improvements and owners paying for ornamentation.
He explained the public outreach to date including a December public hearing
and individual letters mailed. He said he has been contacted by two property
owners and while SSA 30 stands on its own, it will most likely set the pace for
other improvements in the downtown.
A motion was made by Councilwoman Obarski, seconded by Councilwoman
Brodhead, to close the Public Hearing at 8:17 p.m. The motion carried by the
following vote:
Aye: 9- Chirico, Anderson, Brodhead, Coyne, Gustin, Hinterlong, Krummen, Obarski, and
White
2. Identify the appropriate amount of City cost participation and direct staff to prepare an
ordinance to establish Special Service Area No. 30 for streetscape improvements on
portions of blocks 429 and 430 of the downtown area in the City of Naperville if fewer than
fifty percent of the property owners object in the next sixty days (Item 2 of 2)
A motion was made by Councilwoman Obarski, seconded by Councilwoman
Anderson, to recommend a 70% City/30% property owner cost participation.
A motion in substitution was made by Councilman Coyne, seconded by
Councilwoman Gustin, to recommend a 60% City/40% property owner cost
participation. The motion carried by the following vote:
Aye: 5- Chirico, Coyne, Gustin, Hinterlong, and White
