PRESENTATIONS Mayor Gresk read and presented a proclamation to Ms. Renee Ryan and Sachiko Eubanks, Theosophical Society, recognizing Saturday, April 28, 2018 as World Tai Chi and Qigong Day in Wheaton. Ms. Ryan thanked the Mayor and Council for the recognition and invited everyone to the Theosophical Society for their event on April 28. Mayor Gresk read and presented a proclamation to Ms. Kay McKeen, member of the Environmental Improvement Commission, proclaiming April 7-30, 2018 as Earth Days in Wheaton. Ms. McKeen thanked the Mayor and reviewed the various events the City will be holding to celebrate Earth Days, such as the paper shredding event on April 7 and the Native Plant Sale. 3. CITIZENS TO BE HEARD Mr. Brian Millett, 219 S. President Street, spoke in opposition to the parking restriction being proposed in the 200 block of South President Street. He stated while there are a few cars parked on the street all day, they may or may not be commuters as he knows one is a teacher at Lowell School and one is a child care provider for a neighbor. Mr. Millett feels the ordinance as proposed would detrimentally affect these individuals and feels it is a baseless request. Ms. Claudia Severson, 1733 Harrow Ct. asked the status of the solution for flooding in the Briarcliffe neighborhood as it relates to the receipt of FEMA funds and the position of the Forest Preserve with regard to a flooding solution for this area. City Manager Dzugan responded that the City is continuing to work with the Forest Preserve to arrive at a mutual solution. Director of Engineering Redman stated the City cannot request funds from FEMA until the City has approved a specific project. He said he anticipates the Council Proceedings April 2, 2018/ Page 2 City’s flood studies will be completed in the first quarter of 2019 followed by an analysis and the development of a policy with regard to flooding City-wide. 4 CONSENT AGENDA Councilman Rutledge moved and Councilman Suess seconded that the following action be taken on the Consent Agenda items, as amended: 1.

Roll Call Vote on Consent Agenda Ayes: Councilman Rutledge Councilman Scalzo Councilman Suess Councilman Barbier Councilwoman Fitch Councilman Prendiville Mayor Gresk Nays: None Absent: None Motion Carried Unanimously 5. PASS ORDINANCE NO. O-2018-15, AN ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING A STORMWATER RATE CHANGE FOR THE CITY OF WHEATON, DU PAGE COUNTY, ILLINOIS Councilwoman Fitch moved and Councilman Scalzo seconded that Ordinance No. O-2018-15, An Ordinance Authorizing a Stormwater Rate Change for the City of Wheaton, DuPage County, Illinois, be passed. City Manager Dzugan stated this item appeared as a first reading at the March 19, 2018 City Council meeting. He indicated the proposed change would increase the stormwater rate by $0.10 per 100 cubic feet of water usage and add a flat fee of $1.50 per month, resulting in a 3.3% increase for the average utility user. City Manager Dzugan advised the rate increase would be effective May 1, 2018. Councilwoman Fitch stated that the fee is based on water usage, but there is no relation to water usage and stormwater. She feels these fees would hit residents hard as water bills are already high and that a sales tax increase would be more equitable. Councilwoman Fitch stated she is not comfortable with proceeding with this increase in addition to a possible sales tax increase and would vote no on this. In response to questions from Councilman Suess, City Manager Dzugan stated while it is possible to dedicate General Fund monies received from the sales tax to an Enterprise Fund, such as the Stormwater Council Proceedings April 2, 2018/ Page 3 Fund, it is not an ideal option. He advised that in the past, stormwater expenditures were absorbed by the Sanitary Sewer Fund until the City established a separate Stormwater Fund a few years ago. Councilman Prendiville believes this is an aggressive approach but will support it because it applies to all users in the City. Councilman Rutledge generally does not like increasing costs to residents, but believes the City needs to look City-wide for revenue for addressing flooding issues and stated he would support this increase. Mayor Gresk does not like additional taxes, but also feels this provides an equal burden for everyone, including nonprofit users, and stated he would support the increase. Councilman Barbier expressed his support as this relates to an Enterprise Fund that is dedicated to stormwater work. In response to Councilman Rutledge, City Manager Dzugan believes the flat fee will annually generate approximately $300,000 and the $0.10 increase will generate approximately $200,000.

MOTION TO RESCIND ADAMS PARK VOTE TAKEN ON FEBRUARY 20, 2018 Councilman Barbier moved and Councilman Prendiville seconded to rescind the Adams Park Vote Taken on February 20, 2018. City Manager Dzugan explained that a vote taken on February 20, 2018 to approve a contract with Upland Design to develop a design and long-term landscape maintenance plan failed to pass.

ADOPT RESOLUTION R-2018-22, A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTION OF AN AGREEMENT WITH UPLAND DESIGN LTD. FOR ADAMS PARK LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURAL SERVICES AGREEMENT Councilman Prendiville moved and Councilman Suess seconded that Resolution R-2018-22, A Resolution Authorizing the Execution of an Agreement with Upland Design Ltd. for Adams Park Landscape Architectural Services Agreement, be adopted. City Manager Dzugan stated the proposed resolution would authorize a contract with Upland Design Ltd. for $22,444 to develop five conceptual plans for Adams Park after the consultant conducts meetings with key stakeholders and the public. He advised the plans would be presented to the Council and the Council would select one or two plans for further analysis and discussion. City Manager Dzugan stated staff is looking to develop a policy on Adams Park based on what the Council and the community desire the Park to be in order to have future maintenance adhere to that policy. Responding to questions from Councilwoman Fitch, Administrative Superintendent Wallace confirmed the plans would be developed after the consultant conducts the public meetings, there are areas within the park that need to be freshened up and other areas, such as the drinking fountain, that need to be addressed, any work on the sidewalk would need to be contracted out, the Public Works Parks & Grounds Division currently performs small maintenance projects, it is not the intent of this project to start over and make major changes to the park , and it will be the City Council’s decision as to what plan to follow after input as been received from interested parties and the public. Councilman Prendiville appreciated the information provided and believes that people should be reassured that the City does not want to take any drastic action with regard to the park but is looking for a plan to follow going forward. In response to questions from Councilman Suess, Administrative Superintendent Wallace stated the number of plans created would depend on input received from the public meetings. She stated the sidewalks are becoming unlevel and do not meet ADA requirements. In addition, she stated other features in the park need to be accessible, such as the drinking fountain, which also needs to be replaced as it tested positive for lead. Councilman Rutledge stated the park has evolved and morphed over time and this provides the City with an opportunity to create a definitive plan to follow in the future. Mayor Gresk is confident public input will lead to several plans the Council can consider. Councilman Barbier would like to see at least one fully ADA accessible plan for the park. Councilwoman Fitch thinks we do need a landscape plan and that the drinking fountain needs to be replaced; however, she cannot support this because she wants to preserve the existing nature of the park. Roll Call Vote: Ayes: Councilman Prendiville Mayor Gresk Councilman Rutledge Councilman Scalzo Councilman Suess Councilman Barbier Nays: Councilwoman Fitch Council Proceedings April 2, 2018/ Page 6 Absent: None Motion Carried 10.

ADOPT RESOLUTION R-2018-23, A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTION OF AN AGREEMENT WITH LYONS ELECTRIC COMPANY IN THE AMOUNT OF $94,765.00 FOR TRAFFIC SIGNAL EQUIPMENT MAINTENANCE Councilman Scalzo moved and Councilwoman Fitch seconded that Resolution R-2018-23, A Resolution Authorizing the Execution of an Agreement with Lyons Electric Company in the Amount of $94,765.00 for Traffic Signal Equipment Maintenance, be adopted. City Manager Dzugan stated the proposed resolution would approve an agreement with Lyons Electric Company for repair and maintenance of 14 locations in the City where traffic signals are located. Councilman Prendiville questioned the difference in the quotes for projected emergency/non-emergency costs. Administrative Superintendent Wallace stated the City had approximately $30,000 in expenditures for this service last year and the low bidder was in line with that cost. In response to Councilman Suess, City Manager Dzugan stated the contract is a 12-month contract; however, extension of the contract beyond 8 months into 2019 is dependent upon funding. Roll Call Vote: Ayes: Councilman Scalzo Councilman Suess Councilman Barbier Councilwoman Fitch Councilman Prendiville Mayor Gresk Councilman Rutledge Nays: None Absent: None Council Proceedings April 2, 2018/ Page 7 Motion Carried Unanimously 12. APPROVE CHANGE ORDERS FOR 2017 ROAD, SEWER, AND WATER REHABILITATION PROGRAM, COLLEGE AVENUE & PRESIDENT STREET TRAFFIC SIGNAL REPLACEMENT PROJECT, WESLEY STREET DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENT, AND FRONT STREET UNDERGROUND UTILITY REPLACEMENT PROJECT Councilwoman Fitch moved and Councilman Barbier seconded that Change Orders For 2017 Road, Sewer, and Water Rehabilitation Program, College Avenue & President Street Traffic Signal Replacement Project, Wesley Street Drainage Improvement, and Front Street Underground Utility Replacement Project, be approved. City Manager Dzugan explained that the change order for the 2017 Road Program related to contaminated soils; the change order for the College Avenue & President Street Traffic Signal Replacement Project mainly related to poor existing pavement conditions and adjustment of existing grades; the change order for Wesley Street Drainage Improvement was due to unforeseen underground utility conflicts; and the change order for the Front Street Underground Utility Replacement Project related to time and material to locate private service lines and deal with unmarked underground utilities. In response to Councilwoman Fitch, City Manager Dzugan stated the City authorized overtime for the Front Street project to locate service lines that were not marked rather than extending the deadline for completion of the work. Councilman Barbier noted the scope of the project increased because the contractor had to do work that was not included in the contract due to unforeseen circumstances. Councilman Rutledge feels the cost overruns should have been anticipated. Director of Engineering Redman stated the issue with unmarked utility lines exists throughout the City. He stated the City conducted an aggressive negotiation with the contractor to ensure prices were fair. Roll Call Vote: Ayes: Councilwoman Fitch Councilman Prendiville Mayor Gresk Councilman Rutledge Councilman Scalzo Councilman Suess Councilman Barbier Nays: None Absent: None Motion Carried Unanimously 13.

FIRST READING OF AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE PAY SCHEDULES FOR OFFICERS, ASSISTANTS AND EMPLOYEES OF THE CITY OF WHEATON, ILLINOIS City Manager Dzugan stated the ordinance sets forth pay scales for non-union employees, which comprise approximately 40% of the City’s workforce. He stated the proposed pay scales recommend a 2% annual range adjustment. City Manager Dzugan indicated this item appears on the agenda as a first reading and will return before the Council at its April 16 meeting for formal action. 16. FIRST READING OF AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE OFFICIAL MOTOR VEHICLE AND TRAFFIC SCHEDULES (CHAPTER 70) FOR THE CITY OF WHEATON – PARKING RESTRICTIONS City Manager Dzugan stated the proposed ordinance would restrict parking on the west side of President Street, just north of Willow Avenue, to 4-hour parking in response to a complaint about commuter parking. Council Proceedings April 2, 2018/ Page 9 He indicated this item appears on the agenda as a first reading and will return before the Council at its April 16 meeting for formal action. Councilman Rutledge acknowledged the comments made earlier in opposition to this change and questioned if other residents shared that opinion. Director of Engineering Redman he had received an email Monday from another resident not in favor of the change. Councilman Barbier questioned if staff feels strongly about this change. Director of Engineering Redman stated staff administers the request and the final decision is up to the City Council. He stated it would be difficult to ascertain if the people parking are commuters or people working in the area. In response to Councilman Suess, Director of Engineering Redman stated determining the scope of no parking areas near the train station is done on a case by case basis based on complaints from neighbors. Councilman Rutledge asked if the parking could be limited to 8 hours instead of 4 hours to accommodate people who work in the area. Director of Engineering Redman responded the City could create a new category of 6 to 8-hour parking if the Council so wishes. 17. ADOPT RESOLUTION R-2018-26, A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTION OF AN AGREEMENT WITH ALLSCAPE INCORPORATED FOR LAWN CARE AND MAINTENANCE IN THE AMOUNT OF $52,660.00 Councilman Scalzo moved and Councilman Barbier seconded that Resolution R-2018-26, A Resolution Authorizing the Execution of an Agreement with Allscape Incorporated for Lawn Care and Maintenance in the Amount of $52,660.00, be adopted.

City Manager Dzugan stated the proposed resolution would authorize the City to bind coverages for excess liability insurance coverage from May 1 through October 31, 2018 in the amount of $37,776.00. He advised the City has been part of a liability pool established in 1987 that will terminate on April 30.

City Attorney Knippen confirmed the City remains a member of the pool until all claims that occurred during our membership in the pool are settled, even though the City has new liability insurance coverage.

City Manager Dzugan stated approval of the contract allows the City to purchase three parcels of land along Liberty Drive that would unify City ownership of the Wheaton Center Garage parcel. He advised the $86,000 purchase price was based upon a fair market appraisal of the land. Councilwoman Fitch questioned if this purchase would provide access to Union Pacific, an effort that was not successful a few years ago. City Manager Dzugan stated the Union Pacific had originally wanted access through Lot 4, but access through these parcels was suggested as a secondary option at that time.
