Process - Pursuant to State Statute, if there is a change in the provisions of Ordinance O-2025-29 (maximum tax rate, initial levy, boundary, and/or purpose) at the first regular meeting of the City Council after the closing of the Public Hearing, the City Council shall consider an ordinance modifying the provisions of Ordinance O-2025-29. The City Council has the authority to modify certain provisions “down” after the Public Hearing. In other words, the Council could decrease the maximum tax rate, decrease the initial levy, reduce the term, and/or decrease the boundary. If the Council closes the Public Hearing on August 25 and directs staff to modify any provision(s) of Ordinance O-2025-29, said ordinance will appear on the September 2 City Council agenda for consideration. Statute provides that if a petition, signed by at least fifty-one percent (51%) of the electors residing within the special service area AND by at least fifty-one percent (51%) of the owners of record of land included within the boundaries of the special service area, is filed with the City Clerk within 60 days following the final adjournment of the Public Hearing objecting to the creation of the SSA, the SSA shall not be created. SUMMARY AI GENERATED On August 25, 2025, the City Council will hold a public hearing to consider creating SSA 9, which would replace SSA 8 that expired in December 2024. SSA 9 would have a maximum tax rate of $0.45, an initial levy of $500,000 ($325,000 to the Downtown Wheaton Association and $175,000 to the City), and a 7- year term, with boundaries expanding slightly to include City-owned properties. Its purpose is to fund services such as business promotion, event management, parking and streetscape maintenance, holiday/event decorations, and aesthetic enhancements like landscaping and public art. Compared to SSA 8, the proposed levy represents a 17.5% increase in tax impact on properties. By statute, the Council must close the public hearing by September 8 to allow for the 60-day objection period before adoption on November 17, with the levy considered December 1. If 51% of property owners and electors within the SSA boundaries object during the 60-day period, SSA 9 cannot be created.  ORDINANCE NO. 0-2025-29 AN ORDINANCE PROPOSING THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A SPECIAL SERVICE AREA NO. 9 IN THE CITY OF WHEATON, ILLINOIS AND PROVIDING FOR A PUBLIC HEARING AND OTHER PROCEDURES IN CONNECTION THEREWITH WHEREAS, the City of Wheaton (“City”) has a history of providing special services to the Central Business District and paying for those services with revenue collected from the property owners in the Central Business District area through a special service area tax; and WHEREAS, Wheaton’s Central Business District poses unique challenges for the City in part because of its age, the widths of its rights of ways, its deficient parking immediately adjacent to retail business, aging infrastructure, ownership patterns, changing retail markets, the fact that vehicular and pedestrian traffic is impeded by a very active railroad right of way and changing residential rental markets; and WHEREAS, residential rental properties, which will be included in Special Service Area No. 9, use their proximity to the City’s Central Business District to promote the marketing ofthose properties to potential tenants; and WHEREAS, Special Service Area No. 9 contains a substantial portion of the City’s Central Business District; and WHEREAS, Special Service Area No. 8, approved on November 19, 2018 by Ordinance No. 0-2018-67, generated revenue to pay for the promotion of business within the special service area which generally included the provision of advertising and other marketing activities as well as the hosting and support of community events within the City’s Central Business District aimed at creating a positive business environment, and the management of the special service area through providing of funds directly to the Downtown Wheaton Association (”DWA”); and WHEREAS, Special Service Area No. 8 expired on December 31, 2024, and it is the City’s intent to replace it with a new special service area to be known as Special Service Area No. 9 (”Area”); and WHEREAS, the City has concluded that Special Service Area No. 8 benefited the properties within Special Service Area No. 8 by helping to stabilize and enhance the Area’s unique and challenging retail and residential rental qualities and the overall vitality and quality of the Area; and WHEREAS, the City has concluded that the special services provided in conformance with this ordinance will benefit the properties within Special Service Area No. 9 by helping to stabilize and enhance the Area’s unique and challenging retail and residential rental’s qualities and the overall vitality of the Area; and WHEREAS, the City owns and maintains infrastructure and facilities, including but not limited to parking garages and streetscape, within the Area, which supports the retail and residential rental qualities and overall vitality of the Area; and WHEREAS, some or all of the revenue generated from Special Service Area No. 9 will be collected to directly fund activities of the DWA in furtherance of the purposes of the Area as set forth herein; and  Ordinance 0-2025—29 Page 2 of 14 WHEREAS, the approval of Special Service Area No. 9 is reasonably expected to assist in meeting the unique retail and residential rental challenges by making the Area a better place.
