Hello, and welcome to Council Chambers at Peoria City Hall. It’s 6:32 p.m., and the mayor is making several proclamations at the outset of the meeting before we get into the meat of the agenda. It looks like all the council members are present (except George Jacob), plus the two new council members — Beth Akeson and Chuck Weaver — are in the gallery.

As usual, I will be blogging live throughout the meeting, so refresh your browser every so often to see the latest updates. Here’s tonight’s agenda:

PETITIONS, REMONSTRANCES & COMMUNICATIONS – CITY OF PEORIA

ITEM NO. 1 PUBLIC HEARING Relating to the Adoption of the COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

Before the public is invited to speak, there is a short presentation about the proposed Comprehensive Plan. Planning Commission chair Ray Lees has recognized the people involved in writing the plan, and is now giving a brief overview of the process and content of the plan. They’ve added an “internal growth” plan as well as an updated “external growth” plan. They’ve aligned the new plan with council goals. The plan is a framework for future strategic planning by the City Council. They’ve incorporated the latest census data from 2010.

There was a lot of public input into the plan through meetings, website visits, targeted outreaches, surveys, etc. Over 7,000 comments were captured as part of that process — the equivalent of 117 hours of public testimony at 1 minute per comment. They had a large enough sample size that the margin of error is only about 3%, according to statisticians. They made sure that lots of stakeholders were represented, including students, African Americans, developers, etc.

Now Ross Black from the Planning and Growth department is going to continue the presentation. Vision: “Grow Peoria.” Mission: “We will grow Peoria by providing an environment that attracts and retains jobs.” It’s all about jobs, says Black. Focus: “Public safety, education, economic development, and infrastructure. We will partner to deliver these services in a creative and sustainable manner.” Black says these were the top four items across all groups of people, regardless of council district, income, etc.

Next are the “critical success factors,” or “what we must do right to succeed.” They are: Reduce crime, improve District 150, grow employers and jobs, invest in our infrastructure and transportation, support sustainability, reinvest in neighborhoods, keep taxes and fees competitive, and have an efficient government. I love the fact that it took two or three years to come up with these.

Next, future land use changes: the industrial uses on the riverfront should continue unless/until industrial uses are no longer viable, at which time it should change to an open-space/conservation use. Growth Cell 2 is changing from industrial to “light industrial/technology park.” They want to “propose zoning changes that would make attracting and development easier.” Of course, they’ve already decimated rail service to the area, so that’s out. Finally, “No new growth cells until a growth strategy is completed.”

Now Black is going to talk about implementation. It will be implemented in many ways, including changes to subdivision ordinance, city budget, growth management strategy, etc. They also want to establish “Comprehensive Plan Ambassadors” to see it to the community. Also, an annual report on the implementation of the Comp Plan will be required.

And that’s it. Now on to the public comments, once Mayor Ardis makes a few comments. The floor is open.

• Roger Sparks — No one talked to the disabled community about their needs in the comprehensive plan. City is slow to get ADA compliant, “sidewalk variances are being approved left and right,” etc. Why was there no outreach to the disabled community? We need to put an emphasis on infrastructure.
• Savino Sierra — There is an open mic; ergo, there is Savino Sierra. (Not that there’s anything wrong with that; just an observation.) Concerned that the south side is “left out” of the plan. Says they’re losing few remaining businesses in the south side, and this needs to be addressed.
• Peg Pendall — Also concerned that persons with disabilities are not adequately represented in this plan. Believes we need anti-discrimination plans, esp. those with what she calls “invisible disabilities.”
• I didn’t catch this one at all, so I’m shamelessly stealing the following information from Billy’s blog: “Steve Hoder (SP): He is complaining about city taking parts to two of his riders. He wants them back. “About this safety, I am sure not getting any.” He is disabled. He is a retired mechanic. All I get is headaches from the city of the police. I am tired of it.”
• Kenny Kerrigan — Says he’s impressed with the plan and the effort that went into it. Glad they’re talking about retaining jobs.

End of public comment. Ardis asks Black about the concerns about inclusion of persons with disabilities. What attempts were made to include these groups? Pat Landes (Dir. of Planning & Growth) answers instead. Met with Mayor’s Advisory Committee for the Disabled. Met all over the community and everyone was invited to attend. Ross Black adds that these subgroups are not monolithic. “The attempt was certainly made to have outreach as much as possible to everyone who lives in Peoria regardless of ethnic group or disability….”

ITEM NO. 2 Communication from the Interim City Manager and Director of Planning and Growth Management with Recommendation to Adopt an ORDINANCE Adopting the COMPREHENSIVE PLAN and FUTURE LAND USE MAP for the CITY OF PEORIA and to Receive and File the SUMMARY of the COMPREHENSIVE PLAN (Attachment A).

Spain moves to approve the plan and speaks strongly in favor of it. Van Auken says that this plan has “successfully avoided…a string of cliches” and “gobblety-gook.” She thinks it meaningful and well-defined.

Sandberg asks if the future land use map is consistent with the Eagle View TIF. Answer from Black: “Not exactly,” but “generally the same.” Sandberg says that the map indicates that part of Eagle View is in Bartonville, and wonders what’s going on there. Black says that the area Sandberg is referencing is unincorporated, not part of Bartonville. Sandberg asks if the area is in the Eagle View TIF area, though. Black puts up a copy of the map on the overhead, and the answer is that the area referred to is not in the Eagle View TIF.

Next question: why does the City’s boundary hug the west side of the river in some places, but elsewhere it goes to the middle of the river? Nobody really knows. Speculation that it was based on a series of annexations over the last hundred and fifty years.

Sandberg next says that he has a problem with the mission statement. He says that’s been our mission for years, and it’s lost us the middle class. Just attracting jobs doesn’t make Peoria a place where the people who work here want to live here. Black points to the critical success factors as the reasons people would want to live here — i.e., if those factors are adequately addressed. Also says that the census data indicates that we have “held our own.” Sandberg says population numbers alone don’t give us the city we need — we can have a city that has wealthy and poor, but no middle class, and still keep our population.

Riggenbach speaks in favor of the plan. He acknowledges Sandberg’s concerns, but believes the plan addresses the middle class because the goal is to “grow Peoria.” He believes it’s a “work in process.” Ardis also says the comp plan is “not the perfect document” and it will “continue to modify” over time.

Plan passes 9-1 (Sandberg).

LYNN BARNETT (Voting) – Term Expires 6/30/2013

V. REPORT of the CITY TREASURER PATRICK A. NICHTING for the Month of FEBRUARY 2011, with Request to Receive and File.

The following items were removed from consent by the council member in parentheses: S (Irving), L (Sandberg), D (Spears). Gulley is abstaining from voting on Item G. Spain/Montelongo move to approve remaining items; passed unanimously.

• Item D — Spears wants to thank the contractors and the city staff for their commendable performance on this job and making sure it was done properly. Moves to approve/seconded by Van Auken; passes unanimously.
• Item L — Sandberg confirms this is the same organization the City hired ten years ago that came up with Vision 2020. Says he participated in that process completely, and after the process was over, we never did anything with Vision 2020 ever again. Why are we going to hire them again when we never followed through on it ten years ago? “I don’t want to spend ten to fifteen thousand dollars, go to a lot of meetings, … and then the following week we don’t use those exercises in determining our decisions.” Why are we doing the same thing again and expecting a different outcome? Answer from Henry Holling: “This is not the same exercise we did ten years ago… It’s strategic planning….” (I wonder what the exercise ten years ago was, then — perhaps just a team-building exercise?) Ardis says he had the same discussion with incoming city manager Patrick Urich. He says the reason why it failed before was because there wasn’t buy-in from council members; the feeling was that the final report was written before the process even began. This time the process will be different, with different people and greater buy-in from everyone, so it won’t be “insanity.” Sandberg says he doesn’t believe there will be any more buy-in this time than last because the process of deciding on the consultant wasn’t an inclusive process; it was decided by the incoming city manager, apparently. Why aren’t we using local consultants instead of going to Florida and these other out-of-town places? Ardis defends it and basically says that Gary is just looking for reasons to vote “no,” and implies that the reason the previous efforts failed were Sandberg’s fault. Riggenbach joins in saying that “we’ll only get out of this exercise what we put into it,” and urges the council to vote for it. Spears agrees with the strategic planning process, but disagrees with who they’re hiring; he’ll be voting against the motion. Gulley says he doesn’t want to make a “knee-jerk purchase,” and so he’s not supporting this motion. He says the much-lauded “citizens summit” component of the process is listed as “optional” on his material. He says this consultant may be “good,” but we need to find “better or best.” Spain says we need to change the culture of the horseshoe — that the council is too micromanaging of the city manager and city staff. He thinks we should support the motion as a show of support for the city manager. Motion passes 7-3 (Sandberg, Spears, Gulley).
• Item S — Moves to defer until next council meeting. Turner has some concerns about whether this will hamstring the group or put their event in jeopardy. Irving doesn’t believe it will. Passes unanimously.

ITEM NO. 4 Communication from the Interim City Manager and Director of Public Works Requesting Authorization for the Interim City Manager to Execute the ADDENDUM AGREEMENT with the ILLINOIS DEPARTMENT of TRANSPORTATION (IDOT) for a Contribution of $150,000.00 to Assist with the Funding of the ALTA LANE and RADNOR ROAD INTERSECTION IMPROVEMENT PROJECT in Return for Providing 42 Additional Monthly Parking Spaces for a Term of Five Years in City-Owned Parking Facilities. (Amends Item No. 10-264)

Irving moves to approve as outlined, seconded by Van Auken. No discussion. Passes 8-2 (Spain, Gulley).

ITEM NO. 5 Communication from the Interim City Manager and Director of Planning and Growth Management Recommending Approval of the REVISED DESIGN CONCEPTS for the CATERPILLAR VISITOR CENTER. (Amends Item No. 10-410)

Gulley will be abstaining from voting on this item due to current and future contracts with Caterpillar. Turner/Riggenbach move to approve. No discussion. Passes unanimously.

ITEM NO. 6 Communication from the Interim City Manager and Director of Public Works with Recommendation from the Staff to SUPPORT the ROUNDABOUT DESIGN for the INTERSECTIONS of ALTA LANE, RADNOR ROAD, ALLEN ROAD, and HICKORY GROVE ROAD, and to Direct Staff to Pursue Other Opportunities for Roundabout Installation within the City of Peoria.

Irving thanks city staff, the Dunlap school board, and the Farnsworth Group. Construction costs of roundabouts are the same as traditional intersections. Roundabouts also eliminate future costs of signalizing the intersection. Vehicle and pedestrian safety is improved. Because traffic keeps moving, it improves capacity, reduces traffic delays by 70%, saves fuel, lowers emissions. Irving says he was skeptical of roundabouts until he got this information, and now he wholeheartedly supports them. Thus he moves to approve the item as outlined. Van Auken thanks Irving and Director Barber for their work on this. Motion passes unanimously.

ITEM NO. 7 Communication from the Interim City Manager and Corporation Counsel Recommending Adoption of an ORDINANCE Amending CHAPTER 20 of the Code of the City of Peoria Pertaining to LIVE SEX BUSINESSES.

Turner/Riggenbach move to approve. Sandberg says the supporting information that was provided was 13 years old. He asks if this ordinance will affect ongoing businesses, or if existing businesses will be grandfathered in. City Attorney Ray says it makes the activity illegal (basically, it will close any existing businesses). Sandberg asks if this will apply to three consenting adults getting a hotel room and engaging in this activity. Ray says no, it wouldn’t apply to hotel rooms. Sandberg says he thinks the proposed ordinance is too broad. “If the activity [behavior] is illegal,” then why wouldn’t it apply regardless of whether it happens in a hotel, motel, barn, Civic Center, etc. Ray says it applies to behavior in public places. Sandberg asks what defines “private” and “public.” Ray and Sandberg go back and forth with various hypothetical scenarios — I can’t type fast enough to keep up with them. Basically, the point Sandberg is making is that the ordinance is overly broad, and it’s trying to regulate actions that are done in private, behind locked doors. Lots of arcane legal distinctions between what constitutes a “public” or “private” club. Sandberg will not support it; believes it’s an overreach. “Those of you who were concerned about property rights just two months ago, this is about property rights.” Also says it’s about attracting and retaining business, as was mentioned in the Comprehensive Plan earlier in the evening.

Ardis thanks Ray for bringing this ordinance forward, and says the community thanks him as well. Motion passes 9-1 (Sandberg). One guy in the audience claps really loudly.

UNFINISHED BUSINESS

(11-029) Communication from the Interim City Manager and Director of Planning and Growth Management with Recommendation from the Planning Commission and Staff to Adopt an ORDINANCE Amending APPENDIX A of the Code of the City of Peoria Relating to FEES for SUBDIVISIONS and SURVEY PLATS (New Communication and Ordinance) (Refer to Item No. 10-465)

Van Auken moves to approve. Passes unanimously.

(11-030) Communication from the Interim City Manager and Director of Planning and Growth Management with Request to Adopt ONE of the Following: (New Communication and Ordinance) (Refer to Item No. 10-465)

A. Concur with the New Recommendation from the Historic Preservation Commission to Adopt ORDINANCE “A” Amending CHAPTER 16 of the Code of the City of Peoria Relating to CERTIFICATE of APPROPRIATENESS FEES; OR

B. Concur with the Previously Considered Fee Increases and Adopt ORDINANCE “B” Amending CHAPTER 16 of the Code of the City of Peoria Relating to CERTIFICATE of APPROPRIATENESS FEES.

Van Auken moves to defer until last meeting in May so staff can analyze the fee structure for historic preservation based on the changes to the recently adopted ordinance. Passes unanimously.

(11-031) Communication from the Interim City Manager and Director of Planning and Growth Management with Request to Adopt ONE of the Following: (New Communication and New Ordinance) (Refer to Item No. 10-465)

A. Concur with the New Recommendation from the Zoning Commission to Adopt ORDINANCES “A” and “B” Amending APPENDIX B and APPENDIX C of the Code of the City of Peoria Relating to FEES; OR

B. Concur with the Previously Approved Fee Increases and Adopt ORDINANCES “C” and “D” Amending APPENDIX B and APPENDIX C of the Code of the City of Peoria Relating to FEES.

Van Auken moves to approve A (recommendation from Zoning Commission), seconded by Turner. Sandberg speaks to the Site Plan Review fee increasing from $150 to $200. He believes this is an onerous fee on people who are making investments in their properties. We should be encouraging this behavior, not discouraging it with increased fees. Spain says the fees are actually increasing to $300, not $200. So, they’re doubling it.

Motion passes 8-2 (Sandberg, Gulley).

(11-037) Communication from the Interim City Manager and Director of Planning and Growth Management with Recommendations as Follows:

A. Concur with the Recommendation from the Zoning Commission and Staff to Adopt an ORDINANCE Amending APPENDIX B Relating to the LENGTH of DISPLAY for TEMPORARY EVENT SIGNS; and

Van Auken moves to approve Item A, concurring with the Zoning Commission, seconded by Spain. No discussion. Motion passes 8-2 (Sandberg, Gulley).

Van Auken moves to approve adoption of Ordinance A under Item B — are you confused yet? Short discussion, then motion passes 8-2 (Sandberg, Gulley).

(11-038) Communication from the Interim City Manager and Director of Planning and Growth Management with Recommendations to Adopt ONE of the Following (New Communication and Ordinance):

A. Concur with the New Recommendation from the Historic Preservation Commission to Adopt ORDINANCE “A” Amending CHAPTER 16 of the Code of the City of Peoria Relating to DESIGNATION FEES: OR

B. Concur with the Previously Considered Fee Increases to Adopt ORDINANCE “B” Amending CHAPTER 16 of the Code of the City of Peoria Relating to DESIGNATION FEES.

Van Auken moves to defer this item to second meeting in May, seconded by Gulley. Passes unanimously.

(11-065) Communication from the Interim City Manager and Corporation Counsel Requesting Approval of an AMENDMENT to the CITY MANAGER AGREEMENT with F. PATRICK URICH by Changing the Starting Date from April 18 to April 13, 2011.

Spain/Irving move to approve. Passes unanimously. Urich starts tomorrow.

NEW BUSINESS

Turner reported that a bunch of people helped Savino Sierra change his flat tire after the last meeting. Applause.

Spears mentions that teardrop flags are illegal, but only some of the businesses who use them get in trouble because code enforcement is complaint-based. He thinks this is unfair, and he wants to know what we do about this — either accept them and legalize them, or treat everyone fairly instead of complaint-based.

Spain mentions this is the last council meeting with Henry Holling as interim city manager. Patrick Urich will be sworn in tomorrow morning. Applause for Holling.
