WHEREAS, the Planning and Zoning Committee of the DeKalb County Board discussed at its meetings of June 24 and July 22, 2009 the idea of a period of assessment of the real impacts, positive and negative, of the approved, existing and operating commercial wind farm, during which period no expansion of an existing wind farm or of any new proposed wind farm would be processed, considered, or approved, for a period of three years; and

WHEREAS, the DeKalb County Board finds it to be in the interest of the public health, safety and welfare to establish a period of time for an assessment of the actual impacts of commercial wind towers, based upon data generated by the project approved by Ordinance 2009-05, and for evaluation and action on that assessment if such is deemed appropriate, during which time County staff shall not process, nor the County Board act upon, any application for a Special Use Permit or Amendment to a Special Use Permit for commercial wind towers; and

WHEREAS, the County Board anticipates that a period of three full years is necessary to evaluate the real impacts of commercial wind towers on surrounding

2

MEMORANDUM TO: Planning and Zoning Committee FROM: Paul R. Miller, AICP DeKalb County Planning Director DATE: July 13, 2009 SUBJECT: Felix Zoning Map Amendment Petition SY-09-09 Dawn Felix, the property owner, has filed an application for a Zoning Map Amendment for property located at 16161 Whipple Road in Sycamore Township. The request is to rezone the single-family residential property from A-1, Agricultural District, to PD-R, Planned Development - Residential District. The 2.5-acre subject property is located on the north side of Whipple Road, approximately 3,140 feet east of State Rte. 23, and is zoned A-1, Agricultural District. The required public hearing was conducted on June 25, 2009 by DeKalb County Hearing Officer Kevin Buick. At the hearing, the petitioner presented testimony in support of the request, asserting that the requested zone change would make the subject property conforming with respect to the County Zoning Ordinance. It was noted that the Future Land Use Plan of the DeKalb County Unified Comprehensive Plan shows the subject property as appropriate for Residential use, and that the adjoining property to the west is currently zoned PD-R. It was also asserted that the trend of development is toward residential uses. Staff noted that the Comprehensive Plan recommends a specific density of residential use of three to six units per acre, not just any type of residential use, and further recommends that the non-agricultural uses shown on the Future Land Use Plan occur through annexation to a municipality. Staff also pointed out that the nonconforming lot could be brought into compliance by purchasing additional adjoining acreage, and expressed concern that approval of this request would set a precedent for other agricultural properties that adjoin properties zoned PD-R. Staff recommended denial of the request. The Hearing Officer has forwarded his report, and recommends approval of the Zoning Map Amendment (see attached Findings of Fact). The Planning and Zoning Committee is requested to review this application and forward a recommendation to the full County Board in the form of an ordinance. The Committee may recommend approval, approval with conditions, or denial of the request. cc: Dawn Felix Richard Schmack, attorney for petitioner

COUNTY OF DEKALB ) ORDINANCE 2009-10A AN ORDINANCE DENYING A ZONING MAP AMENDMENT FOR A SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENCE ON PROPERTY LOCATED AT 16161 WHIPPLE ROAD IN SYCAMORE TOWNSHIP

WHEREAS, Dawn Felix, the property owner, has submitted an application for a Zoning Map Amendment for property located at 16161 Whipple Road in Sycamore Township and legally described as shown in Exhibit AA@ attached hereto, to rezone the 1.4-acre subject property from A-1, Agricultural District to PD-R, Planned Development - Residential to accommodate an existing single-family residence, said application having been submitted in accordance with the requirements of Article10 of the DeKalb County Zoning Ordinance; and

WHEREAS, following due and proper notice by publication in the Daily Chronicle not less than fifteen (15) nor more than thirty (30) days prior thereto, and by mailing notice to all owners of property abutting the subject property at least ten (10) days prior thereto, the DeKalb County Hearing Officer conducted a public hearing on June 25, 2009 at which the petitioner presented evidence, testimony, and exhibits in support of the requested Zoning Map Amendment, and no member of the public spoke in favor of the request and none in opposition thereto; and

WHEREAS, the Hearing Officer has considered the evidence, testimony and exhibits presented at the public hearing and has made findings of fact and recommended that the Zoning Map Amendment be approved, as set forth in the Findings of Fact and Recommendation of the DeKalb County Hearing Officer, dated July 8, 2009, a copy of which is appended hereto as Exhibit AB@; and

WHEREAS, the Planning and Zoning Committee of the DeKalb County Board has considered the evidence and testimony from the public hearing and the findings of fact and recommendations of the Hearing Officer, and has forwarded to the DeKalb County Board a motion to deny the requested Zoning Map Amendment, based on the following findings: 1. The planned land use for the subject property as shown on the DeKalb County Unified Future

Land Use Plan is Mixed Residential with a density of three to six units per acre, whereas the existing use is one single-family residence on 1.4 acres;

2. The existing uses in the general area of the property in question are a mixture of agricultural uses

on agriculturally-zoned property and residential uses on residentially zoned property, but the existing house on the subject property was constructed as a farm residence, consistent with the surround agricultural uses, and then subsequently split off from the farm without regard to County zoning lot-size regulations, rather than being developed as a single-family residence on residentially-zoned property;

2

3. The zoning classification of property within the general area of the subject property is A-1, Agricultural, Planned Development- Residential, and Residential Conservation District - 1, but the house was constructed as a farm dwelling on property zoned for agricultural use, rather than as a single-family residence on property zoned for residential use;

4. The subject property was suitable for the uses permitted in the A-1, Agricultural District at the

time the house was constructed, as it was part of a 40-acre tract. To the extent the subject 1.4-acre property is no longer suitable for uses in the A-1 District, it is the consequence of the actions of the previous and current property owners, taken without regard to County zoning regulations;

5. There has been no trend of development in the general area in the past decade; 6. Property values would not be diminished if the subject property is rezoned to the PD-R, Planned

Development - Residential District, nor would they be enhanced; 7. The subject property is not vacant; 8. The proposed rezoning would be detrimental to the public welfare, as the change would be at

odds with the general policy and approach of DeKalb County and the City of Sycamore that residential uses should occur through annexation, which policy is intended to avoid conflicts between residential and agricultural uses, reduce the costs of providing public infrastructure and services to residences, and preserve the rural character of unincorporated DeKalb County;

9. The alleged hardship faced by the applicant that motivates the request for rezoning is the

consequence of the actions of the current and former property owner, and approving the requested zone change would grant an unfair advantage and benefit to the property owner over other property owners in the County who abide by the zoning regulations; and

10. The zone change, if granted, would establish a negative precedent with regard to circumventing

the minimum lot size requirement in the A-1, Agricultural District, whereby any owner of a 40-acre or larger farm located adjacent to property zoned PD-R in an area designated for future residential use on the DeKalb County Unified Future Land Use Plan could expect to be allowed to build a house on the farm, divide the house off on as little as five acres, and subsequently be granted PD-R zoning; and

WHEREAS, the DeKalb County Board has considered the recommendation of the

Planning and Zoning Committee and the report and findings of fact of the Hearing Officer, and has determined that the requested Zoning Map Amendment to change the zoning of the subject property from A-1, Agricultural District to PD-R, Planned Development - Residential District would not be consistent with the findings required by Section 10.04.F of the DeKalb County Zoning Ordinance;


SECTION ONE: The report of the DeKalb County Hearing Officer, Exhibit AB@ attached hereto, is hereby accepted, but the findings of fact and conclusions set forth above are hereby adopted by the DeKalb County Board.

SECTION TWO: Based on the findings of fact adopted herein, the request of Dawn Felix for a Zoning Map Amendment to rezone the property located at 16161 Whipple Road

3

in Sycamore Township and legally described as set forth in Exhibit AA@ from A-1, Agricultural District to PD-R, Planned Development - Residential District, is hereby denied.

PLANNING AND ZONING COMMITTEE MEETING MINUTES

July 22, 2009 The Planning and Zoning Committee of the DeKalb County Board met on July 22, 2009 at 7:00 p.m. in the Conference Room East located in the DeKalb County Administration Building. In attendance were Committee Members Ken Andersen, Ruth Anne Tobias, John Hulseberg, Marlene Allen, Pat Vary, Michael Haines, Larry Anderson, and Stephen Walt, and staff members Paul Miller and Rebecca Von Drasek. Also, in attendance were Roo Kyler, Steve Rosene, Mel Hass, Richard Schmack, Ron Korth, Roger Craigmile, and Dawn Felix. Ken Andersen, Planning and Zoning Committee Chair, called the meeting to order, and noted that all members were present. APPROVAL OF AGENDA Ken Andersen asked that an additional discussion item be added to the agenda regarding the proposed temporary suspension of future wind farm developments. Mr. Hulseberg asked that discussion on a change to the Site Development Fee review also be added to the agenda. Ms. Allen moved to approve the agenda as amended, seconded by Ms. Vary, and the motion carried unanimously. APPROVAL OF MINUTES Mr. Hulseberg noted the word “four” was omitted from page six of the minutes of the June 24, 2009 Committee meeting, indicating the number of members which voted in favor of a failed amendment to the Temporary Suspension motion. Ms. Vary moved to approve the minutes of the June 24, 2009 meeting of the Planning and Zoning Committee as amended, seconded by Mr. Hulseberg, and the motion carried unanimously. ZONING MAP AMENDMENT Mr. Miller briefed the Committee on the history of the application of Dawn Felix for rezoning the property at 16161 Whipple Road in Sycamore Township from A-1, Agricultural District to PD-R, Planned Development - Residential. He noted that the property owner previously sought Variations from regulations of the Zoning Ordinance regarding illegal, nonconforming lots and uses, but that the Hearing Officer and Planning and Zoning Committee had both recommended denial of that request. The petitioner requested the County Board table action on the Variation requests and filed the application for a Zoning Map Amendment for the 1.4-acre subject property, which is located on the north side of Whipple Road, approximately 3,140 feet east of State Rte. 23. The required public hearing was conducted on June 25, 2009 by DeKalb County Hearing Officer Kevin Buick. At the hearing, the petitioner presented testimony in support of

Page 2 July 22, 2009 Planning & Zoning Committee Minutes

the request, asserting that the requested zone change would make the subject property conforming with respect to the County Zoning Ordinance. It was noted that the Future Land Use Plan of the DeKalb County Unified Comprehensive Plan shows the subject property as appropriate for Residential use, and that the adjoining property to the west is currently zoned PD-R. It was also asserted that the trend of development is toward residential uses in this area. Staff noted at the hearing that the Comprehensive Plan recommends a specific density of residential use of three to six units per acre, not just any type of residential use, and further recommends that the non-agricultural uses shown on the Future Land Use Plan occur through annexation to a municipality. Mr. Miller also pointed out at the hearing that the nonconforming lot could be brought into compliance by purchasing additional adjoining acreage or selling the residence back to the previous owner, and staff expressed concern that approval of this request would set a precedent for other agricultural properties that adjoin properties zoned PD-R. Mr. Miller noted that staff had recommended denial of the request. The Hearing Officer recommended approval of the Zoning Map Amendment. Ms. Vary informed the Committee that she had driven past the property and reviewed the surrounding area, and noted that she was impressed with the number of homes near the subject property. She emphasized that farmland would not be taken out of active use if this request was granted. She then asked the petitioner why only the front lot was included in the application. Mr. Schmack, attorney for Mrs. Felix, responded that only the front lot was included in the Comprehensive Plan’s recommendation for Residential future uses. Mr. Hulseberg asked staff for comment on the application and the Hearing Officer’s findings. Mr. Miller noted that any zoning action required a subjective review of objective criteria, and opined that the Hearing Officer was swayed that the existing use was more in line with the PD-R zoning. Mr. Miller explained that staff respectfully disagreed with the findings because ignorance of the rules did not justify exemption from them, and because of the negative precedent that would be set by approval. Mr. Haines asked if either of the cities of Genoa or Sycamore had expressed an opinion either way on the issue. Staff responded that no comment had been received. Mr. Ken Andersen noted that if the cities did not comment, the County could view that as a lack of concern regarding the issue. He expressed to the Committee that he felt the rezoning should be approved because this was an example where elected officials could help a property owner with circumstances which could be improved by the action of elected officials. Mr. Walt asked staff to expound on the precedent that could be set by this rezoning. Mr. Miller responded that any property owner whose 40-acre or greater farm adjoins a property zoned PD-R in an area designated for Residential use on the Future Land Use Map could build a farm dwelling on the farm, then split the house off on less than 40 acres and request a rezoning to PD-R, citing the Felix approval as precedent for approval. Ms. Tobias asked if in staff’s opinion there are many properties that would meet such specific circumstances. Mr. Miller responded that there were more properties that this could apply for


than it may appear, noting that there are areas zoned for PD-R throughout the County which are surrounded by agriculturally zoned areas. Mr. Haines asked staff if approving this rezoning was likely to increase the number of residences in the unincorporated areas of the County. Mr. Miller responded that he believed it would, and added that the Hearing Officer’s findings when reviewed solely from a land use perspective could make sense, however, when the history of how the house and property came to be in this circumstance are added into the review it is hard for staff to argue that the circumstances will not be repeated. Mr. Haines expressed concern about rewarding bad behavior, and noting that other landowners with an empty piece of property would be denied a request for rezoning. Ms. Vary acknowledged that the property is blatantly attempting to get around the regulation, but it is adjacent to PD-R and is in the Comprehensive Plan as an area for residential housing. She concluded that she did not believe there were that many examples of similar properties. Mr. Ken Andersen asserted that this was the opportunity for elected officials can help correct a bad situation so that if a tornado destroyed this family’s home they could replace it. Mr. Haines noted that there were other ways to rectify the nonconformity. The Committee briefly discussed the expense of purchasing an additional 38 acres or selling the residence back to the previous owner. Ms. Vary moved to recommend approval of the rezoning, seconded by Mr. Hulseberg. Mr. Larry Anderson requested a role call vote on the motion. The motion failed, with Mr. Ken Andersen, Mr. Hulseberg and Ms. Vary voting “yes”, and Mr. Haines, Mr. Larry Anderson, Ms. Allen, Mr. Walt and Ms. Tobias voting “no”. Mr. Larry Anderson moved to recommend denial of the rezoning, seconded by Mr. Walt. The motion passed with Mr. Larry Anderson, Ms. Allen, Mr. Walt, Mr. Haines and Ms. Tobias voting “yes”, and Mr. Ken Andersen, Ms. Vary and Mr. Hulseberg voting “no”. BUILDING CODE AMENDMENT Mr. Ken Andersen introduced the request of Gary and Carole Pettee for an Amendment to the Text of the 2003 International Building Code as adopted by DeKalb County. The amendment is related to the requirement to provide a two-hour firewall on exterior walls when a hangar of 2,000 square feet or more in size is located 30 feet or closer to a property line, on properties in unincorporated DeKalb County. Mr. Andersen noted for all present that this issue had not been subject to a public hearing and therefore the public was welcome to comment on the issue. Mr. Miller briefed the Committee on the circumstances by which the Pettees were requesting the amendment to the County’s Building Code. He explained that the need for the two-hour firewall had been specifically pointed out by staff on the Building Permit issued to the Pettees for the hangar, but that the structure had been subsequently built without the firewall. He also explained


that there is no Variation process for the Building Codes, and that the Building Board of Appeals convenes only when there is a dispute as to the interpretation of the building regulations. The issue is not one of interpretation, but rather the applicant seeks for the County to change the regulation to allow that if there are no buildings or structures on the adjoining property within 30 feet of the common property line, the two-hour firewall requirement can be waived. Ms. Pettee provided an aerial map to the Committee showing that the building on the Pettee’s property backs up to a farm field. She emphasized to the Committee that future structures on the adjoining farm were highly unlikely, as the farmer was unlikely to build in a location which would require utilities and a driveway to travel more than 2,000 feet. Ms. Pettee explained to the Committee that the materials stored in this type of hanger were no more hazardous that the storage of farm equipment and other large vehicles. She asserted that no jet or jet fuel would be stored in the hanger. She also noted the unlikelihood of the County ever allowing another airport subdivision to which the standard may apply in the future. Ms. Pettee pointed out the financial burden of installing a firewall in the hanger, and informed the Committee that she could find no evidence of any recent airplane hanger fires. Finally, she explained that most residential hangers are not required to install a firewall. Mr. Miller reiterated that this would be a revision to the International Building Code as adopted by the County Board and applicable to all future residential airplane hangers more than 2,000 sq. ft. which are placed within 30 feet of a property line. He noted that Toby Petrie, the Chief Building Inspector, had recommended denial of the proposed amendment. Mr. Miller also pointed out that there is no guarantee that an adjoining property owner will not build a structure within 30 feet of the common property line, and a hangar built without the firewall could not then be forced to retrofit. Mr. Haines asked staff what are the possible remedies for the Pettee’s predicament. Mr. Miller responded that they can either install the firewall as required or seek to amend the Code. Mr. Miller also noted that the County has a Board of Appeals, but that panel has not met in many years and is actually charged only with reviewing appeals of the Building Inspector’s interpretation of the building code. Mr. Miller asserted that the interpretation of this provision was unambiguous. Ms. Vary asked staff if a building were built in the future in proximity to a hanger if the County could then require the installation of a firewall. Mr. Miller emphasized that the County could not require retrofitting of the hangar. Mr. Walt stated that he was not prepared to change the International Building Code. Ms. Vary opined that the Planning and Zoning Committee was often asked to make similar decisions. Mr. Ken Andersen asked staff to reexplain the history of the request. Mr. Miller noted that the Pettees filed for a Building Permit, as part of the Building Inspector’s plan review the requirement to build the two-hour firewall was included, the Pettee constructed the pre-built building and failed to install a firewall.


Ms. Pettee again emphasized the rarity of the application of this particular standard. Mr. Miller agreed with Ms. Pettee that this issue was unlikely to ever occur in the future, where a 2,000 sq. ft. residential hanger would be constructed within 30 feet of the property line in a residential subdivision, due to the County’s discouraging subdivision developments in unincorporated areas. However, the regulation was a matter of public safety and is considered a minimum standard. Mr. Haines asked the Pettee’s why they had ignored the requirement. Ms. Pettee noted that the time frame from when the Permit was sought, issued and the building was built had been spread out over several months, and that Mr. Pettee’s degrading health had caused an oversight on their end. She also emphasized that there was no intention to go against the County’s requirements and if she could go back they would not construct the hanger. Ms. Vary noted that the Board Members were transient in some sense and that the future could include many residential hangers. Mr. Walt moved to deny the requested amendment to the County’s Code, seconded by Mr. Hulseberg, and the motion carried unanimously. DISCUSSION ITEM - Small businesses and agri-tainment uses in rural DeKalb County Mr. Miller explained that the Committee had recently discussed the effects of existing regulations and policies on small businesses that are located in unincorporated DeKalb County. The Committee seeks to discuss these regulations, with the goal of understanding why the policies were put in place, the effect of those policies, and some options for and consequences of alternatives. Mr. Haines stated that he understood that the purpose of the County was not to create businesses in the A-1 District, but asserted that there may be a method the County could use to provide preferential treatment to businesses that the County wants to encourage. He also noted that he felt it was unfair that smaller businesses pay similar fees that larger commercial enterprises pay. Mr. Miller explained that larger applicants do pay a higher amount in zoning fees because the County has a three tiered system for staff time ($100, $500 and $1,000). He expressed to the Committee that the cost of processing an application is intended to be borne by the applicant. Mr. Miller noted that some business endeavors (i.e., home offices, small scale agri-tainment, roadside stands, etc.) are permitted by right and other uses require a Special Use Permit. Ms. Allen stated that the County was not out to encourage business, if a property owner wants to operate a business they can seek the appropriate permits. Ms. Vary asserted that the issue may be better addressed in the Economic Development Committee.


Mr. Miller agreed noting that possibly the Economic Development Committee could, for instance, consider the possibility of “micro” grants to local businesses to cover their zoning fees, perhaps with funds from the DeKalb County Community Foundation or a similar group. The Committee continued discussion on the method by which businesses are offered incentives through tax abatements and other means and which was the preferable method. The Committee also debated the balance between incentives and preferential treatment. Staff reminded the Committee that in regards to land use decisions there are a different set of laws and regulations regarding zoning actions versus economic development. Mr. Miller noted that many of the rules are created to prevent arbitrary or capricious decisions regarding land use. Mr. Walt stated that he agreed that the issue should be discussed further by the Economic Development Committee. Mr. Hulseberg asked if the Planning and Zoning Committee should recommend an action to the Economic Development Committee. Ms. Vary responded that she was on the Committee and could bring it to their attention. DISCUSSION ITEM - Wind Farm Building Permit Fees Mr. Miller explained that staff had reviewed the amount of time dedicated to reviewing Building Permit applications for the Commercial Wind Turbines at the Committee’s request. Staff found that the current fee of $550 set in 2003, did not reflect the County’s current cost. Staff suggested an increase of $100 for a fee of $650 per Wind Turbine Building Permit application. Ms. Vary moved to recommend approval of increasing the Building Permit fee to $650, seconded by Ms. Allen, and the motion carried unanimously. DISCUSSION ITEM - Site Development Permit Fees Mr. Miller explained that the Highway and Planning & Zoning Departments had reviewed the amount of time dedicated to reviewing Site Development Permit applications and found that the current fee of $300 ($200 for engineering and $100 for Planning staff) for a permit and $50 per hour for additional engineering review set in 1997, did not reflect the County’s current cost. County Highway Department staff suggested an increase of $100 for a fee of $400 per Site Development Permit application ($300 for engineering and $100 for Planning staff) and a $25 per hour increase for additional engineer review. Ms. Vary moved to recommend approval of increasing the Site Development Permit fee to $400 and the engineering review fee to $75 per hour, seconded by Mr. Hulseberg, and the motion carried unanimously.


DISCUSSION ITEM - Wind Farm Temporary Suspension Ms. Vary asked why the issue was sent back to Committee as she had been unable to attend the County Board meeting July 15, 2009. Mr. Ken Andersen responded that he felt that the issue needed more discussion and admitted that he had a concern with “putting up stop signs” to this type of project. Mr. Larry Anderson asserted that the temporary suspension was not permanent. Mr. Walt stated he had understood the purpose of the suspension as a review of the County Board’s decision to allow the wind farm, and added that he felt that the County Board had made the correct decision in allowing the wind farm project. Ms. Tobias observed that every Committee member had voted in favor of the temporary suspension Ms. Allen informed the Committee that she had received calls from constituents that would want to encourage a similar project in the southeastern portion of the County and therefore she would change her vote. Ms. Vary stated she viewed the suspension as an opportunity to review the effect of an actual wind farm before approving more turbines within the County. Mr. Haines termed the idea a “Period of Assessment” and agreed with Ms. Vary that the review allows DeKalb County to form an opinion of the technology prior to allowing additional turbines. Ms. Allen emphasized that any future application would need to seek a Special Use Permit which would allow the County to review each project on its own merits. Mr. Larry Anderson stated that he wanted the three years of review to determine if anything else needs to be included within the County’s conditions of approval. Mr. Ken Andersen agreed with Ms. Allen that the County would assess all future applications. Mr. Haines asserted that the “Period of Assessment” could serve as notice to future developer that the County is still assessing the first project. He added that rather than a stop sign to future projects it could serve as a yield sign. Mr. Ken Andersen then recognized members of the public to comment on the issue. Mr. Hass emphasized to the Committee that he supported a suspension, noting the perceived rift between neighbors the project had caused in the four townships. He asserted the rationale for the assessment period by mentioning that the Conditions of Approval included training requirements, shadow flicker abatement, resolution to communication interruptions, and the property value guarantee program he felt needed to be reviewed prior to allowing other projects.


Mr. Ken Andersen suggested that maybe a suspension should be put in place for only the four townships, Milan, Afton, Shabbona, and Clinton. Mr. Haines asked if during the Period of Assessment a possible compromise would be to allow developers to make a Special Use application but not approve any building permits within the three-year assessment period. Ms. Vary responded that by allowing applicants to go through the Special Use process the County would not take advantage of the actual assessment and review of the FPL project. She added that three years would go by quickly. Ms. Allen emphasized that the future projects would be reviewed by the Planning and Zoning Committee through the Special Use process and if the Committee felt they needed more information when they received an application they could ask for it. Following further discussion, Mr. Haines made a motion to recommend to the County Board that it establish a “Period of Assessment for Commercial Wind Turbines” during which time Special Use Permit applications could be accepted but no Building Permits issued for three years, seconded by Mr. Walt. Mr. Ken Andersen asked for additional discussion on the motion. Ms. Vary noted that she disagreed with the motion. Mr. Rosene reminded the Committee that in allowing developers to make a Special Use application they would need to solicit property owners for lease agreements and easements prior to the County deciding if future wind turbines are even appropriate. Ms. Vary agreed. Mr. Miller noted that the practical effect of the motion would result in staff informing any possible applicant that the County would review an application but not guarantee permits. He hypothesized that this would dissuade most applicants because of the expense of the application process. Mr. Miller also noted that the County expends staff time and money to process applications for these big projects. Mr. Walt noted that he agreed with the motion because it appeared to be a compromise by those who want a moratorium and those opposed to preventing future applications. Mr. Hass brought the Committee’s attention the fact that McGirr road was being converted to gravel and that this was an unknown consequence of the approved project already. Mr. Haines noted that any applicant risks the expense of an application which could be denied. Following further discussion, Ms. Vary moved to amend the motion to strike the allowance for accepting Special Use Permit applications, seconded by Ms. Tobias.


Mr. Hulseberg noted that he would be in favor of a five year Period of Assessment. Mr. Ken Andersen noted that the City of Sycamore had a similar system for subdivision approvals and limited the number of building permits that the City would issue, he felt that this discouraged new developments. Ms. Allen noted that she was basing her vote on the will of her constituents, who might want to see turbines built in the southeastern portion of the County Ms. Vary asserted that the hearing process and staff time that would be spent on an application, but then the developer would have to wait for Building Permits. She urged the Committee members to think about the intent of an assessment and reflect on the opinions of that assessment needing to be reflected in future projects conditions. The motion and amendment were then repeated and role call votes were requested. On the motion of Ms. Vary, the vote was three “yes” and five “no”, and the motion failed. On the original motion by Mr. Haines, the vote was four “yes” and four “no”, and the motion failed. Mr. Miller offered that the Committee could send the issue undecided to the County Board for review, but that would mean that the discussion would have to occur at a County Board meeting. The purpose of the Committee system is to work out these issues at the lower level. Mr. Walt motioned to send the issue to the County Board for review, seconded by Mr. Hulseberg. The Committee briefly discussed the Committee structure and Mr. Walt and Mr. Hulseberg decided to withdraw their motion rather than send an open-ended question to the full board. Mr. Haines made a motion to send to the County Board a recommendation of a three year assessment period in which no Special Use application or amendments for wind turbines will be reviewed, seconded by Ms. Vary. By roll call vote the motion passed by with six “yes” and Ms. Allen and Mr. Ken Andersen voting “no.” MONTHLY REPORT Mr. Miller explained that Chairman Andersen had requested a copy of the monthly Building Report and an update on Zoning Actions for the Committee’s review. Mr. Miller also handed out an information sheet regarding the landfill expansion and he suggested Committee member take advantage of the landfill tour. Ms. Tobias noted that she had attended the July tour as well, and noted that the group was able to see many different phases of the landfill process, including the beginning setup for methane capture for electrical generation.


Mr. Ken Andersen relayed to the Committee that progress continued to be made on the Countywide contour maps, and also informed the Committee that the Stormwater Management Committee would most likely meet again in October. Mr. Andersen noted that the County continues to pursue the mitigation of the Evergreen Village mobile home park. He read from a memo to the Stormwater Management Committee from Paul Miller dated July 15, 2009 that: The Illinois Emergency Management Agency has forwarded the project to F.E.M.A., and has indicated it has sufficient funds for the 75% Federal portion. Indications are good that F.E.M.A. will approve the project. The 25% matching funds are also being pursued, with one possibility being funds from the Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity, which received flood recovery funds from H.U.D. Representatives of IEMA are working to secure this funding, and staff is hopeful that an answer will be forthcoming before the end of the year. The Planning and Zoning Committee is next scheduled to meet August 26, 2009 at 7:00pm in the Conference Room East. ADJOURNMENT Ms. Tobias moved to adjourn, seconded by Mr. Larry Anderson, and the motion carried unanimously.

HIGHWAY COMMITTEE

August 6, 2009 A meeting of the Highway Committee of the DeKalb County Board met on Thursday August 6, 2009 at 6:00pm in the Conference Room of the DeKalb County Highway Department, DeKalb, Illinois. Chairperson LaVigne called the meeting to order at 6:00pm. Committee members present were Vice-Chair Augsburger, Mr. Chambliss and Mr. Emerson. Also present were Mr. Bill Lorence, County Engineer, Wayne Davey, Support Services Manager and Gregg Millburg, Farm Bureau. APPROVAL OF MINUTES: Motion made by Vice-Chair Augsburger and seconded by Mr. Emerson to approve the minutes of the regular June 17, 2009 meeting. The motion to approve the minutes carried unanimously. APPROVAL OF AGENDA: Motion made by Mr. Chambliss to approve the agenda and Mr. Emerson seconded this motion. Mr. Lorence explained to the Committee that item number one on the agenda was being re-bid and will be presented at the September Committee meeting. Also item number two is still pending the City of Sycamore action. Mr. Lorence recommended both items one and two be deleted from the agenda. Motion made by Mr. Chambliss to approve the agenda as amended and Mr. Emerson seconded this motion. The motion to approve the agenda as amended carried unanimously. PUBLIC COMMENT: None CHAIR’S COMMENTS: None COUNTY ENGINEER’S COMMENTS: The Transportation Improvement Progress Report for July was provided to the Committee for their review. The highlighted projects on the report were discussed. Preliminary Engineering is progressing on the Kane Road culvert project as well as Old State Road bridge, Five Points Road bridge and Coltonville Road bridge. The Glidden Road roundabout at Rich is nearing Design Engineering completion. The Shabbona Road bridge construction will begin on Monday, August 10, 2009 and the road is expected to be closed until October 31, 2009. The curve realignment on South First Street is nearing completion and the road should be opened to the public soon. The curves will remain aggregate for a while in order for traffic to compact the new roadway. Prior to winter the curves will have a binder course placed on them and then the entire road will receive a surface course during 2010. North Grove Road Bridge is scheduled to be opened Friday August 7th.

Mr. Lorence explained to the Committee that during the State’s Budget process this year a provision was placed within the budget designating all roads in the State of Illinois as 80,000 pound roads. No additional funding was provided to build our current roadways system up to handle this additional weight, but did allow for Counties to post their roads back at their 73,280 pound limit. Mr. Lorence presented a proposed ordinance placing weight restriction on roads that would not handle the additional weight and cause additional maintenance expense. Mr. Emerson asked if this ordinance was necessary and why the County could not allow trucks to run at 80,000 pounds. Mr. Lorence explained that the roads he was recommending weight restrictions on were either for bridge restrictions or the base of the current road was not sufficient to accommodate the increased weight limits. The State will be evaluating all the bridges to see which ones could handle the additional weight and if any roads could be removed from the “restricted” list at a later date the County Engineer would so recommend. A motion was made by Vice-Chair Augsburger and seconded by Mr. Chambliss to forward proposed Ordinance 2009-13 to the full County Board recommending approval. The motion carried unanimously. Mr. Lorence presented the Department’s 2010 budget recommendation. The budget contains no new revenue and expenditures were reduced by $1.5 million over the 2009 Budget. However, fund balance spending will be needed if all projects scheduled within the County’s five year road improvement plan are let. The Bridge, MFT and Matching budgets are typically overspent in some years as we save funds to pay for projects and spend the balance down. The Highway budget shows a deficient this year due to funds being transferred to the Engineering budget to help offset the cost of an additional position of Assistant County Engineer if that position is to be approved. There were no questions presented. ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: None ADJOURNMENT: Chairperson LaVigne inquired if there was anything else that needed to be brought before the Committee and hearing none asked for a motion to adjourn. A motion was made by Vice-Chair Augsburger to adjourn and Mr. Emerson seconded this motion. The motion passed unanimously and the August 6, 2009 meeting was adjourned at 6:32p.m.

LAW AND JUSTICE COMMITTEE MINUTES July 20, 2009

The Law and Justice Committee of the DeKalb County Board met on Monday, July 20, 2009 @ 6:30p.m. in the DeKalb County Administration Building’s Conference Room East. Chairman Marlene Allen called the meeting to order. Members present were Riley Oncken, Kevin Chambliss and Anita Turner. Margi Gilmour was also present. APPROVAL OF THE MINUTES Moved by Mr. Oncken, seconded by Ms. Turner, and it was carried unanimously to approve the minutes from June 2009. APPROVAL OF THE AGENDA Mr. Oncken moved to pull item #4 on the DUI Court since it did not open last week.

Moved by Ms. Turner, seconded by Mr. Chambliss, and it was carried unanimously to approve the amended agenda. COURT SERVICES MONTHLY REPORTS Ms. Margi Gilmour, DeKalb County Court Services Director, presented her monthly Juvenile and Adult Report to the committee. She said that they had 18 new cases in June in the adult court arena.

She said that the courts ordered 7200 CRS hours in the month of June. The number of hours completed in June were 6,114.

With regards to the Juvenile Report there were two people in residential placement. There was one person released in June. The other placement will be in there yet for a while. There have been 2 detained admissions with 1 being for the 1st time and 1 each for the 5th time. Ms. Gilmour feels that her budget will come under for detention. So far her department has spent $81,000 on detentions. Ms. Gilmour said that the Safehouse is coming along great. She passed out a brochure that her department will be placing in churches and businesses around the county seeking parent partners for the Safehouse and children throughout the county. Ms. Gilmour informed the committee that there would be an Orientation Meeting in August for people interested in the Parent Partners Program.

1

Ms. Gilmour then passed out another brochure to the committee regarding the Mentor a Youth Program that her department also runs. They are currently interviewing men and women to help with the program. Before moving on to discuss the Jail Report, Mr. Oncken asked if Sheriff Scott could come to the committee meeting in August to discuss the EHM Program with the committee. Since this was a subject item that was discussed at the last county board meeting, Mr. Oncken felt that with the budget discussions opening up soon in September that next month would be a good time to discuss this program. The committee would like to see if more people could be added into the EHM Program and what the cost savings would be. JAIL REPORT

Chairman Allen said that the Jail Report shows the inmate population for the month of June as 114 inmates and that the report shows high costs for rental space in out-of-county jails and transporting inmates to these facilities. ADJOURNMENT

Moved by Mr. Oncken, seconded by Ms. Turner, and it was carried unanimously to adjourn the meeting.

HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES MINUTES

August 3, 2009

The Health and Human Services Committee of the DeKalb County Board met on Monday, August 3, 2009 @ 6:30p.m. in the Administration Building’s Conference Room East. Chairman Jeffery L. Metzger, Sr., called the meeting to order. Members present were Eileen Dubin and Paul Stoddard. Mr. Emerson and Ms. LaVigne were absent. Ms. Donna Moulton was also present. APPROVAL OF THE MINUTES

Moved by Ms. Dubin, seconded by Mr. Stoddard, and it was carried unanimously to approve the minutes from July 2009. APPROVAL OF THE AGENDA

Chairman Metzger, Sr., said that he would be adding item #4a. regarding the Public Health Update given by Mr. Paul Stoddard.

Moved by Mr. Stoddard, seconded by Ms. Dubin, and it was carried

unanimously to approve the amended agenda.

PUBLIC COMMENT Chairman Metzger, Sr., pointed out a couple of articles that have appeared in the local newspapers lately regarding the homelessness problem and local agencies that are still waiting for word on the State’s budget. COMMUNITY SERVICES UPDATE – MS. DONNA MOULTON Ms. Moulton, DeKalb County Community Services Director, passed out a chart showing the current numbers of people that they have seen so far this year. In the month of June they saw about 117 families that needed help and in July they saw 107 families. There was a big spike in the numbers for June as you can see in the chart, said Ms. Moulton. The number of families in June 2009 doubles the number of families that they saw in June 2008. She said that they have a new case manager that has been hired for her office. She said that her staff is very busy and are booking appointments into this Thursday already.

1

Can you recruit some help, is there a way? Asked Chairman Metzger, Sr. Ms. Moulton said that she wasn’t really sure because one of the issues would be space. As it is they are full now and when they get the full time ARA Stimulus person, which is a 14-month position, they will be looking for more space. She will not hire that person until she has a contract in hand. When this person comes on board in her office Ms. Moulton will have to move out of the offices and go into the old Veteran’s Assistance area. Ms. Moulton also said that she would also be hiring a full time HRRP manager that will be working up to December 2010. Where this person will sit, she does not know yet. Chairman Metzger, Sr., said that there would probably have to be a space study done for these positions to see where there is space for them. Ms. Moulton pointed out to the committee on her budget page “B” that over the next two years her department will be receiving $280,000 for line item 8321 referring to the HRRP manager and the ARA funding equaling $321,000 that her office will be receiving that will run from May 2009 through September 2010. The committee asked Ms. Moulton to get the foreclosure avoidance program information out to the public when her office is ready to take the applications and when they receive the funding for this program. Chairman Metzger, Sr., asked her to write a couple of paragraphs on this program and he will publish it with his column down in the Sandwich area. Ms. Moulton said that she hopes to hear something very soon on the funding for the foreclosure avoidance program. The committee thanked Ms. Moulton for a very informative presentation. HEALTH DEPARTMENT UPDATE – MR. PAUL STODDARD Mr. Stoddard said that at the last Public Health Board meeting the budget process has begun there. He said that the Public Health Board would be increasing the program fees between 5% to 20%. The public health aspect of the Health Department is running at a deficit of $278,600 that is projected for 2010. The Home Care will be making about $127,000. They are using the overage amount from the home care

2

funds to help offset the underage from the public health, but it will still leave them with a deficit of about $126,000.

Last year the County gave the Health Department about $1,080,700.00 and this year they are asking for $1,100,200.00, so about $20,000 more in their request. They also approved the proposed animal control budget, said Mr. Stoddard. ADJOURNMENT

Moved by Mr. Stoddard, seconded by Ms. Dubin, and it was carried unanimously to adjourn the meeting.

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE

RESOLUTION R-2009-45

Whereas, the DeKalb County Economic Development Committee has studied the benefits of tourism for the DeKalb County economy, and Whereas, the Committee has found that tourism generates significant economic activity within DeKalb County already and that the benefits could be increased with modest investment by the County of DeKalb, and Whereas, the DeKalb County Economic Development Committee has heard presentations by representatives of the DeKalb Area Convention and Visitors Bureau and Discover Sycamore on the value of developing and publishing a “Visitors Guide” featuring all DeKalb County communities, and Whereas, it was the finding of the Committee that such a “Visitors Guide” would help attract additional visitors and add to their length of stay in DeKalb County thus further stimulating the economies of our various local communities and the County of DeKalb as a whole, and Whereas, the Economic Development has recommended that the County of DeKalb, in the best interests of its citizens, appropriate $5,000.00 to support the development, publication and distribution of 30,000 copies of a DeKalb County Visitors Guide featuring all DeKalb County communities. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the DeKalb County Board does concur in the findings and recommendations of the DeKalb County Economic Development Committee and does hereby appropriate $5,000.00 to the DeKalb Area Convention and Visitors Bureau for the purpose of developing, printing and distributing a DeKalb County Visitors Guide.

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE MINUTES

July 8, 2009

The Economic Development Committee of the DeKalb County Board met on Wednesday, July 8, 2009 @ 7:00p.m in the Administration Building’s Conference Room East. Chairman Eileen Dubin called the meeting to order. Members present were Sally DeFauw, Julia Fauci, Jeff Metzger, Sr., Riley Oncken, Mark Todd and Pat Vary. Others present were Ray Bockman, Deb Armstrong, Ruth Anne Tobias, Steve McClure, Andy Hamilton, Paul Stoddard, Paul Borek and Ms. Smith from Monsanto. APPROVAL OF THE MINUTES Moved by Mr. Metzger, Sr., seconded by Ms. Vary, and it was carried to approve the minutes from June 6, 2009. APPROVAL OF THE AGENDA Chairman Dubin said that she was adding Mr. Paul Borek from the Economic Development Corporation to the agenda under #6b.

Moved by Ms. Vary, seconded by Mr. Todd, and it was carried unanimously to approve the amended agenda. PUBLIC COMMENTS There were no public comments for the evening. CHAIR’S COMMENTS

Chairman Dubin said that she will be sending out a summary on the grant proposal and where we are with it shortly. She will be hearing more from Bob Gleeson on it. ENTERPRISE ZONE FROM MENDOTA TO THE MONSANTO FACILITY IN WATERMAN, ILLINOIS Mr. Steve McClure and Mr. Andrew Hamilton of Opportunity Alliance LLC summarized for everyone last month’s meeting on a proposed Enterprise Zone, which is established currently in Mendota, Illinois. They came last month to propose an expansion of that Zone into DeKalb County on behalf of the Monsanto Corporation. Monsanto would like to become exempt from the State natural gas tax and if a company lies within an Enterprise Zone then they do not have to pay this tax. Currently there is no Enterprise Zone in DeKalb County and there are no new Zones available. The expansion would include Mendota and then running the Enterprise Zone all the way up to Waterman, Illinois, along highways. He also said that the Enterprise Zone would keep the Monsanto Waterman Facility competitive in the Midwest. They have no plans for expansion right now, he said. It would also promote Regional cooperation with Mendota, LaSalle County and DeKalb County.

1

Mr. McClure said that Enterprise Zones do help the regional economy. He explained to the committee that the economic impact from Monsanto was a $20 million reinvestment in 2007-2008. He said that Monsanto invested $4 million in 2005 and $4 million in 2008 in those facilities in Waterman. They have paid property taxes in 2008 of $393,000. They employ 117 full-time jobs and 164 part-time jobs. He said that he did not include high school and college students that perform detassling work in summers. He said that the majority of the permanent employees are DeKalb County residents. He continued by stating that Monsanto is trying, in good faith, to come back into the area and have better community relations. Mr. McClure said that Monsanto has gotten involved in the community too. They contributed $14,000 to United Way, $4,000 to the Waterman School Reading Program, $7,000 to the Waterman Fire Protection Training, $16,000 to the Waterman Emergency Warning and $10,000 to the Indian Creek Ball Fields. He continued by stating that Enterprise Zones were originally set up to promote new investment, create and retain Illinois jobs, and help Illinois compete in a Global Economy. There are 94 Enterprise Zones in the State of Illinois. He explained that you can’t just create a new Enterprise Zone because the number of Zones are set in statute and none are currently being created. Mr. McClure said that Monsanto wants to be in an Enterprise Zone because it brings down the cost of operations by not paying the natural gas tax. It also helps to keep them competitive with other Monsanto facilities. Ms. Vary asked what are we talking about with tax on the natural gas per year? Mr. McClure said that the savings for the company on the tax is $25,000 a year, every year. Ms. Fauci asked for how many years? Mr. McClure said for as long as they are in the Zone, until 12/31/2017, so about 8 years. The tax impact, said Mr. McClure, will be exempt from state natural gas taxes and the County’s portion of the property tax would be abated at 50% for 5 years. Mr. McClure said that this is only if Monsanto makes any new investment to the facility, for example, like construction. Mr. Bockman asked Mr. McClure if Monsanto is in a T.I.F. district currently? Mr. McClure said that when he spoke with Waterman they said that the property was in a T.I.F. district. However, when he spoke with the tax person about Monsanto, she said that she was not aware of them being in a T.I.F. District. It may mean that Monsanto is not aware that they lie in a T.I.F.

2

district and they are not receiving any of the benefits from this type of district. They are still not clear on this yet. Mr. Bockman said that we do not have any T.I.F. authority. Mr. Oncken asked Mr. Borek how he felt on this proposal? Mr. Borek, Director of the DeKalb County Economic Development Corporation, said that an Enterprise Zone would help extend a benefit to an existing company that has made a considerable amount of investment at their facility in Waterman and to encourage them to look favorably on future opportunities in our County. This would allow Monsanto to become competitive with their other facilities. It is also an opportunity for our County to open up an Enterprise Zone here and to help each other in the future. It also helps to create good will between Monsanto and the County of DeKalb. Ms. Vary said that it sounds like an Enterprise Zone is a good thing for our County. It was Moved by Mr. Oncken, seconded by Ms. Vary, and it was carried to recommend the proposal for the establishment of an Enterprise Zone running from Mendota, Illinois, to the Monsanto Facility in Waterman, Illinois and to forward this recommendation to the full board for approval. Ms. Fauci voted no. DEKALB AREA CONVENTION AND VISITOR’S BUREAU REQUEST – MS. DEB ARMSTRONG Ms. Deb Armstrong, approached the committee regarding the creation of a countywide visitors guide. This guide will incorporate information from all of the municipalities. The Guide will be a 68-page bound full-color, high quality piece. The cost of printing is $11,930.00 for a printing of 30,000 guides. A State Grant has been applied for which would provide matching dollars at a rate of 40% - 50% of the cost of the project. The requested amount for the County’s portion of the costs to produce this guide is $5,000.00. Ms. Armstrong feels that by producing this guide that it will recruit people to come into the County and bring money here. It will also help her office to meet one of the initiatives to become a Certified Agency in the State of Illinois. Once they are certified by the State they will be able to receive grant monies as matching funds up to approximately $60,000.00. Ms. Armstrong also said that the cities of DeKalb and Sycamore would also be contributing and that the $5,000.00 that she is asking of the County is just a portion of their costs. Chairman Dubin asked Ms. Armstrong if this would be a one-time request asked of the County? Ms. Armstrong said yes, and that July 30th is their deadline.

3

It was moved by Mr. Metzger, Sr., seconded by Ms. Fauci, and it was carried unanimously to forward this recommendation to the full board for approval. It was agreed by the committee that this resolution would be going before the full County Board at their August 19, 2009 meeting. UPDATE FROM THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION – MR. PAUL BOREK, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR Mr. Borek gave his monthly update on the DeKalb County Economic Development Corporation. He mentioned that the Rockford Airport operates FTZ#176. Foreign Trade Zones (FTZ) are designated areas where companies can realize savings in tariffs on imported goods and components. The purpose of these zones are to encourage final manufacturing and assembly our packaging of products with imported content within the U.S. For many years, these zones were limited to ocean and lake ports, and airports. Park 88 has applied to and received designation from the Department of Commerce as a Sub-Zone of FTZ#176. This would allow future industries to take advantage of Free Trade Zone benefits within Park 88. It can be used as a marketing advantage or incentive to attract industry that utilizes imported components. Mr. Borek continued by stating that the Greater Rockford Airport Authority has contacted his office to inform him that recent federal legislation has made the FTZ Program more flexible, affordable and accessible to industry, including small businesses. They indicated to him that DeKalb County has the ability to authorize zones to serve their communities, now. The City of DeKalb has expressed interest in securing FTZ benefits for the DeKalb Taylor Municipal Airport. Marge Bevers, of the Rockford Foreign Trade Zone Administrator, has offered to meet with the County, City of DeKalb and other interested parties to explain the benefits, advantages and opportunities associated with Foreign Trade Zones. Mr. Borek said that he would make himself available to coordinate and set up a meeting with County representatives and Ms. Bevers so that we can learn more about this opportunity. Mr. Bockman asked Mr. Borek if the Airport Authority is requesting a resolution from the County? Mr. Borek said that he needs to find out more information about that and get back to the committee and Mr. Bockman. Mr. Borek confirmed that there have been no decisions on the Amtrak project yet. However, decision-making is imminent and IDOT said that the route would be determined by local preference. He doesn’t know how they quantify this, though.

Mr. Borek said that there is an ad hoc group that has been formed that he sits on that meet weekly on this issue and that they are ready to mobilize.

4

Mr. Borek said that he feels the first thing that he needs is the resolution that this committee would be sending to the full board this month. UPDATE ON ELBURN SHUTTLE – MS. PAT VARY Ms. Vary said that she has met with Mr. Tom Zucker of VAC, Mr. Joel Mauer of the City of DeKalb, Mr. Brian Dickson of DSATS, Mr. Al Davis of Huskie Line and a Matthew Wineberg from Vieola, which is the parent company of the Huskie Bus line, to discuss the possibility of getting a bus shuttle to go to the Elburn Train Station and back. After the meeting, she said, that Mr. Zucker and Mr. Davis would be approaching Metra soon for subsidies from them for a possible shuttle to the Elburn Train Station. She will be talking to the Student Association at NIU about the contracts with Huskie Bus Line. The people that participated in this meeting would like to see the shuttle meet several trains a day at the station in Elburn. She said that you would need a bus that can pick up anyone that has a handicap also. ADJOURNMENT Moved by Mr. Metzger, Sr., seconded by Ms. Vary, and it was carried unanimously to adjourn the meeting.

FINANCE COMMITTEE MINUTES

August 5, 2009 The Finance Committee of the DeKalb County Board, met on Wednesday, August 5, 2009 @7:30p.m. in the Administration Building’s Conference Room East. Chairman Michael Haines called the meeting to order. Members present were Ken Andersen, Michael Stuckert, Paul Stoddard, Ruth Anne Tobias and Mark Todd. Mr. Hulseberg and Mr. Newport were absent. Others present were Gary Hanson, Joan Berkes-Hanson, Greg Millburg, Elena Grimm, Riley Oncken and Aaron Ruder. APPROVAL OF THE MINUTES Moved by Ms. Tobias, seconded by Mr. Andersen and it was carried unanimously to approve the minutes from July 1, 2009. APPROVAL OF THE AGENDA Moved by Mr. Todd, seconded by Mr. Andersen and it was carried unanimously to approve the agenda. UPDATE ON THE IMRF FUNDING – Mr. Gary Hanson Mr. Gary Hanson, Deputy County Administrator, said that the committee has discussed, for the last two months, the IMRF funding and what we will set our rate at, which we have to do by the end of August. There is the actual rate and the phase-in rate that is allowed as shown in the handout (on file in the Finance Office and the County Board Office). The columns at the top show the 3 different pension accounts that we have and the IMRF account is for the regular county employees. The other one, SLEP is for the Sheriff’s Law Enforcement Personnel and FP is the Forest Preserve, which is similar to the regular county employees have. The Pension rate for IMRF will jump from 8.65% in 2009 to 11.06% in 2010. The County will see a pension increase in IMRF to $464,542.00 and then include SLEP, which adds another $280,498.00. The Phase-In rate determined by the IMRF Board equals 9.52% as opposed to the full rate of 11.06%. If we should decide to do this then the costs would equal $187,215.00. The difference between the full rate and the phase-in rate equals $277,327.00. We would have to pay the 7.5% interest too, which equals about another $21,000.00. The committee asked Mr. Hanson how long would the delay take on this phase in? Mr. Hanson said that the County would pay it until the actuaries say our account balance is at an appropriate funding level.

Finance Committee Meeting August 5, 2009 Page 2 of 3 pages Mr. Hanson continued by stating that if the County paid the 9.2% it would take about 5 years, that is, if IMRF makes at least 7.5% on their investment (which is the goal). If they don’t do that then everything else gets recalculated for another set of years. If IMRF makes more than that, then you may be better off not paying them so much money. The true sources of revenue for IMRF is going to be the interest, the return on their investment, and what we take for contributions from taxpayers. One thought is to delay what the County has to put in and hope that the investments will generate the returns. Chairman Haines said that we would be talking about a difference of $400,000, which would be a shift in our budget. We have a fund balance and this would be a hit on our budget of $400,000.00. Why would we want to borrow money at that rate? Mr. Hanson said that it would depend on whether you think that the risk is higher. You know that the rate is 7 1/2 % minus the 2% we made so you are looking at 5 1/2 %. But last year if you had put that money in there you would have lost 30% of that $400,000.00. So you have some time to see if the market will recover. Ms. Tobias asked if we would be able to change this at all at any time? Mr. Hanson said yes, the County would be able to change it every year. After a brief discussion it was moved by Ms. Tobais, seconded by Mr. Todd, and it was carried to follow the advice of the Deputy County Administrator as prescribed by State Law to pay the IMRF Phase-In rate and then re-evaluate it next year. Mr. Stoddard voted no. UPDATE ON FINANCING FOR BUILDING PROJECTS Mr. Hanson then approached the committee about taking a small step now regarding the combined project of the County Courthouse and the County Jail.

He explained that the Stimulus Act establishes a new category of tax-

exempt bonds to finance both governmental and privately owned or operated projects. The total amount of Recovery Zone Bonds that a County may issue is limited based on decreases of individuals employed in our County. The IRS has now issued final allocations of the amounts of Recovery Zone Bonds that may be issued in the State of Illinois. Based on the final allocations provided by the State of Illinois, up to $5,973,000 Recovery Zone Economic Bonds and up to

Finance Committee Meeting August 5, 2009 Page 3 of 3 pages $8,959,000 in Recovery Zone Facility Bonds are available for issuance for our County. We will have to create a Recovery Zone first. The advice that he has received is that the County has to adopt a resolution to do this. Mr. Hanson said the first step now is to create the Recovery Zone. The Recovery Zone would include the entire county as that keeps all options open for whoever may opt to use the bonding authority. He also said that the bonds would need to be issued by January 2011. He will need a resolution to do this. Can you create several zones? Asked Mr. Stuckert Mr. Hanson said that he does not know, but if we simply designate the entire county then we have all options available to us. After a brief discussion it was moved by Mr. Stoddard, seconded by Mr. Todd, and it was carried unanimously to direct Mr. Hanson to draft a resolution that creates a Countywide Recovery Zone in DeKalb County, Illinois. ADJOURNMENT Moved by Mr. Andersen, seconded by Mr. Todd, and it was carried unanimously to adjourn the meeting. Respectfully submitted, ___________________________________ Michael Haines, Chairman MH:mcs G:Finance Committee/FINANCE COMMITTEE MINUTES 080509.doc

Moved by Mr. Andersen, seconded by Ms. LaVigne, and it was carried unanimously to forward the appointments to the full board for approval. ANNUAL RELEASE OF THE EXECUTIVE SESSION MINUTES Mr. Bockman said, this a housekeeping item that we do semi-annually to release executive session minutes that we are holding. Usually they have to do with personnel issues or a land acquisition matter. Moved by Ms. Fauci, seconded by Ms. Allen, and it was carried unanimously to forward this recommendation to the full board for approval. AMENDMENT TO THE ARTICLE OF RULES AND PROCEDURES Mr. Bockman said that in 2007 the County Board adopted, by ordinance, a code revision to comply with State Law, which is the Pollution Control Siting section of the Code. At that same meeting, by resolution, you adopted these Articles of Rules and Procedures that would guide the Pollution Control Committee. We have yet to have an application filed, but expect to have one filed later this year. Before we do that, there has been some review done by staff and counsel. Therefore, what you have before you tonight are the changes. There were some

2

questions raised by potential applicants as to what certain things mean, like what does “in the vicinity of the proposed site” mean? The changes are relatively minor. It is better to clean up the language now to avoid trouble later, he said. One of the major changes is “who will determine what constitutes a changed application?” Under this statute, once you begin the public hearing, if there is a change to the application, it sends you all the way back to “go”. The other one is about the notice, under the statute, you are not only required to file a notice when you file the application, but also in advance of that to let everyone know that you are going to file an application. Moved by Mr. Haines, seconded by Mr. Andersen, and it was carried unanimously to forward this recommendation to the full board for approval. EXTENSION OF THE LOBBYISTS CONTRACT Mr. Bockman, said that around February 2009 the State IEMA told him that they simply were not able to fund our project for the buyout of Evergreen Village. Our lobbyists suggested that we contact Representative Manzullo’s office to see if they would ask for an appropriation for the project within the Homeland Security Bill. The Lobbyists said that other people have been able to do this type of project funded through the Homeland Security Appropriation process. So Mr. Bockman called Representative Manzullo’s office and asked if they would consider putting us in for $4 million for Homeland Security? They said no first, but then a month later he heard from them saying that they would like to help us by seeking funding from the Homeland Security Appropriation. Several months later he received congratulatory emails from the State IEMA Director and our lobbyists saying that they heard that we had received an earmark for the Evergreen Village Project.

Mr. Bockman said that what he heard was that we were earmarked for $350,000 for the project. He called Molly O’Toole, our consultant, to see if we could use the funding for the project? She said not really because there is a single parcel of land and in order to do the project, you have to buy the parcel and you can’t buy it for that amount of money. He then contacted Representative Manzullo’s office and thanked them for the earmark but he didn’t think that we could use the $350,000 because we need $4 million. Mr. Ron Davis from IEMA said that Mr. Bockman should really check and see if it is not in addition to what you might be able to get through other sources before turning it down. Mr. Bryan Davis of Rep. Manzulo's office said that this money would not count against anything that you might do with FEMA and that it will be in addition to that. Ms. O’Toole and Ron Davis said hang on to it.

Mr. Bockman said that he would not have ever asked Representative Manzullo’s office

before our lobbyists advised him to. The lobbyists have also been working on two bridge projects and one road project that

are unfunded. If they are funded we would get money that Mr. Bockman feels we would not otherwise get.

Moved by Ms. Allen, seconded b y Ms. LaVigne, and it was carried to extend the

lobbyists contract with Holland-Knight for a period of six months at a cost of $4,000.00 per month through December 31, 2009. Ms. Fauci, Mr. Larry Anderson and Mr. Haines voted no.

Ms. Allen, Chairman of the Law and Justice Committee, said that her committee heard from Ms. Gilmour from Court Services who said that they are seeking parents for the new Safehouse. Ms. Julia Fauci, Chairman of the Forest Preserve Committee, said that they did not have a meeting in July.

DEKALB COUNTY REGIONAL PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES

June 25, 2009 The DeKalb County Regional Planning Commission (RPC) met on June 25, 2009 at 7:00 p.m. in the DeKalb County Administration Building, Conference Room East, in Sycamore, Illinois. In attendance were Commission members Cookie Aldis, Frank Altmaier, Ken Andersen, Mike Becker, Bill Beverley, Rich Gentile, Dan Godhardt, Derek Hiland, Martha May, Don Pardridge, Suzanne Sedlacek, and Suzanne Fahnestock (Maple Park). Staff included Paul Miller and Rebecca Von Drasek. 1. Roll Call -- Commission members Becky Morphey, Bill Nicklas, and Jerry Thompson were noted absent. 2. Approval of Agenda -- Ms. Aldis moved to approve the agenda, seconded by Mr. Andersen, and the motion carried unanimously. 3. Approval of Minutes -- Ms. Aldis moved to approve the minutes, seconded by Mr. Pardridge, and the motion carried unanimously. 4. FPL Wind Farm Project Presentation Mr. Miller made a presentation to the Commission regarding the County’s recent review of the application by FPL Energy Illinois Wind LLC (FPL), a subsidiary of NextEra Energy, for a Special Use Permit to allow 119 wind turbines in unincorporated DeKalb County. Mr. Miller led the Commission through a brief background of the project and then explained the process by which the County vetted the application. He explained that a Special Use Permit generally requires a public hearing and recommendation by the Hearing Officer, a review by the Planning and Zoning Committee and recommendation, and then a vote by the County Board. The Hearing Officer heard 26 hours of testimony on the topic during three public hearing sessions. Mr. Miller emphasized that the project had many objectors and many supporters. He highlighted the evolution of the public hearings and staff’s efforts to balance the need of the public to be heard and the right of the applicant to due process. Mr. Miller noted that the State’s Attorney’s Office referred the application back to public hearing after the applicant altered their proposal to include various conditions of approval. Mr. Miller summarized the conditions the applicant agreed to which cover various aspects of the project including the required permits, road maintenance, wildlife evaluation, and other conditions. Mr. Andersen, who is Chairman of the County’s Planning and Zoning Committee, explained that when the application went to the Committee the conditions to the agreement where further amended and then the applicant received a unanimous recommendation for approval from the Committee. Mr. Miller concluded by noting that the approval by the County Board capped a public review and approval process that lasted over six months, and constituted perhaps the largest single zoning project undertaken in County history. The County Board approved the project on a vote of 16 “yes” and four “no”.

Mr. Beverley asked what was the benefit to the County. Mr. Miller explained that the applicant stressed the benefits to the County were property taxes, jobs in construction and renewable energy, and the opportunity to be involved in a national effort to develop renewable energy sources. Mr. Miller noted that the review and approval process was difficult due to the heighten emotions that the project evoked, especially with the objectors who believed this project would destroy their way of life. Ms. May briefed the Commission on the Village of Lee’s review and negotiations regarding the six proposed wind turbines within its jurisdiction. The Commission then discussed the need for a municipality to act in a timely manner on applications for zoning actions. Mr. Miller suggested that the Village of Lee confer with their attorney regarding that time line. Mr. Miller also noted that the negotiations completed by the County do not effect other jurisdictions, to their benefit or detriment. Mr. Altmaier asked how the County determined what to include in the negotiated terms. Mr. Miller responded that the conditions attached to the project were inclusive of the County terms from the 2003 application and he asserted that it may be one of the more demanding agreements ever adopted for a wind farm. Mr. Miller concluded with the observation that wind energy is nationally embraced and locally resisted. He stressed that property owner rights were at the heart of the debate and the balance between the individual versus the collective was measured by this application. He noted that a lawsuit may still be filed within 90 days of the County Board’s decision and promised to keep the Commission informed about the project as it develops. Ms. Sedlacek asked what had been the response to the accusation that farmland was removed from production. Staff noted that was one of the concerns that had been raised and the response had been that of the 22,000 acres involved the final project should only occupy approximately 200 acres. Mr. Becker asked about the “Temporary Suspension” being considered by the County. Mr. Miller explained that the County was considering a moratorium, or temporary suspension, of any new wind farm or wind farm expansion, as a way of allowing an assessment of the real impacts of an actual wind farm project. If approved, no new wind farms or expansions of existing wind farms would be approved by the County for a period of three years. At the end of the suspension period, a report on the actual impacts would be gathered by the County. Ms. Aldis clarified that the suspension would only go into effect after the first turbine was up and running. Mr. Beverley asked about the County’s fee schedule and future inspections. Mr. Miller explained that the County will charge $550 per turbine for Building Permits, and $300 per Site


Development Permit. This is considerably less than some other jurisdictions, but reflects the County’s actual cost of processing and issuing these Building Permits. The Commission briefly discussed the fee method. Staff also noted that annual inspections may be required by federal and state agencies. Mr. Andersen reiterated that heighten emotions surrounding this application made the decision very difficult. He added that he had benefitted from site visits to operating wind farms prior to making his decision. Ms. Fahnestock asked about the delivery routes of equipment and materials associated with wind turbine construction. Staff assured her that the townships road agreements include details on the truck traffic generated by the project. Staff also pointed out that the entrance to the County by the trucks would be made off of Interstate 39. Mr. Andersen regretted not encouraging the purchase of the gravel from local sites to keep the sale tax local. Mr. Miller added that the company had conducted a competitive bid process in awarding the gravel and trucking contracts. Mr. Hiland noted that there was going to be a general increase in the interest about constructing green technologies in residential areas, and observed that many municipalities may not have regulations in place to accommodate such structures. He mentioned that the City of DeKalb was considering a moratorium on such structures until the City can determine what types of regulations need to be in place. Mr. Beverley noted that Sandwich had received its first request to construct a residential wind tower, and added that the City was considering its options. Ms. Sedlacek noted her support for green technologies and pointed out that these mechanisms can already be found in practice in many locations throughout the state. Ms. Aldis noted that Cortland just recently amended their ordinance to allow for solar power, rain barrels, rain gardens and similar technologies. She also noted that a property owner would be responsible for wind easements (i.e. agreements to protect their wind access from future improvements). Mr. Gentile asked that small wind energy systems and other green technologies regulation be placed on a future agenda as a discussion topic for the Commission. He also praised the County for its exhaustive efforts to contact and listen to the general public regarding this project. He went on to encourage every community in DeKalb County to make similar efforts with projects proposed within their jurisdictions. 5. Municipal Development Projects / Issues Mr. Gentile asked the Commission members for their support of the City of Genoa’s endeavors to receive Amtrak service. He mentioned that a feasibility study had been preformed and that he would be forwarding a letter to each community asking for their support.


Mr. Andersen informed the Commission that the County had received a request to expand the landfill, noting that the County had approved a Host Fee Agreement in March. He noted that the public hearings would most likely take place in February of 2010. He informed the Commission members that the landfill “torch” has been moved off of I88 and that new monitoring wells have be dug. He also noted that the methane released from the site has increased and is close to the minimum1200 cfm (cubic feet per minute) which is needed to put in equipment to use the gas to generate electricity. Mr. Beverly asked about the capacity of the landfill. Mr. Miller noted in the current design the landfill has approximately seven more years. With the proposed expansion, it would have approximately 40 years. Ms. Sedlacek explained that the Kishwaukee Doctors Clinic was approved in the Village of Waterman, to be located near the intersection of Route 23 and Route 30. Mr. Beverley relayed information for the City of Sandwich regarding the continued work at the water park and the difficulties of the local car dealerships. Ms. Aldis noted that there were signs on Route 38 announcing upcoming road construction. She also acknowledged Cortland’s steady building permit applications due to the efforts of local developers to sell lots. Ms. Fahnestock introduced herself as a new trustee from the Village of Maple Park. She noted that Kathleen Curtis was the new Village President, and also announced to the Commission that the Village would begin a search for a new Village Attorney in the next week. 6. Next Meeting Date -- After a brief discussion the Commission agreed that the next RPC meeting would be August 27, 2009 at 7:00 pm in the Conference Room East. Mr. Miller also noted that at the next meeting the Commission would discuss the Sustainable Watershed Action Team (SWAT) Seminar which is still to be scheduled for mid-September. 7. Adjournment -- Mr. Pardridge motioned to adjourn, seconded by Mr. Tompkins, and the motion carried unanimously.
