00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:29,500
All the meaning to order misgivist. You want to do the roll call? Trustee LeRuin? Here. Trustee Wieczowski. Here. Trustee Benucci. Here. Trustee Calcanis. Here. Trustee Kiefer. Present. Trustee Larson. Here. Mayor Gerdownis. Here. Thank you. Just for protocol, say, Trustee Calcanis is joining us via Zoom. If there are no objections from any board members, then we can proceed with her attendance via Zoom. Are there any objections?

2
00:00:29,500 --> 00:00:32,960
from the board as to Trustee Calcana's attending via Zoom.

3
00:00:33,500 --> 00:00:35,980
No. No. No. No. Okay, very good then.

4
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:38,240
A little bit of housekeeping there I didn't think there would be.

5
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:41,480
Tonight we have, oh we're going to start with the pledge allegiance.

6
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:42,660
Let's stand for the pledge please.

7
00:00:45,480 --> 00:00:49,320
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America

8
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:54,120
and to the republic for which it stands one nation under God

9
00:00:54,780 --> 00:00:57,420
indivisible with liberty and justice for all.

10
00:00:58,140 --> 00:00:58,860
Thank you.

11
00:00:59,960 --> 00:01:01,980
I want to wish everyone a happy new year.

12
00:01:02,260 --> 00:01:10,800
It is 2025, it's amazing to think it's already 2025, but it is, 2024 is in the books.

13
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:16,180
A lot of good things have happened in playing field over 2024, a lot of hard work has been

14
00:01:16,180 --> 00:01:20,660
put into a lot of projects and things, and we're looking forward to just that much more

15
00:01:20,660 --> 00:01:21,920
if not more in 25.

16
00:01:22,700 --> 00:01:27,160
The next item on the presidential comments, we do have an oath of office for officer

17
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:30,600
Kelly buddy chief you want to start us out with this one.

18
00:01:35,260 --> 00:01:36,860
Yes thank you. You

19
00:01:36,860 --> 00:01:41,940
guys know we've done this a time or two now how important it is when we have a

20
00:01:41,940 --> 00:01:46,320
new officer that we're swearing in we like to do it in front of the village board

21
00:01:46,320 --> 00:01:51,740
so in front of the crowd as well. So everyone sees so we are very proud of that.

22
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:54,840
Kelly I can't believe the amount of people who showed up here tonight

23
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:58,860
you're swearing in. I mean this is I've never seen this many at a swearing in

24
00:01:58,860 --> 00:02:07,360
before so. But I will say Kelly comes to us. She is a cold city born and raised. We kind

25
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:14,500
of stole her from the Yorkville Police Department. She was there for four years. So she is

26
00:02:14,500 --> 00:02:22,540
now, you know, a part of the Plainfield family. This is the third officer we have gotten

27
00:02:22,540 --> 00:02:29,540
from Yorkville so I don't know it is good it's it's all good so I don't know if we should be driving

28
00:02:29,540 --> 00:02:35,880
through Yorkville but Kelly you know comes to us like I said from the Yorkville Police Department

29
00:02:36,620 --> 00:02:42,480
she's here with her family her husband DJ is a canine officer for the Wilk County Sheriff's Office

30
00:02:43,180 --> 00:02:46,560
so with that said Kelly come on forward for the oath of office.

31
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:47,480
Having

32
00:03:05,500 --> 00:03:13,460
been appointed to the Office of Police Officer, in the village of Plaintfield, in

33
00:03:13,460 --> 00:03:21,880
Will and Kendall County, Zillenoid, do solemnly swear, that I will support the Constitution

34
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:22,780
of the United States,

35
00:03:24,860 --> 00:03:30,260
and the Constitution of the State of Illinois, and that I will faithfully

36
00:03:30,260 --> 00:03:40,980
discharge the duties of the office of police officer in the village playing field and will and

37
00:03:40,980 --> 00:03:47,840
Kendall County's Illinois for the best of my ability. Congratulations.

38
00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:58,100
So the other thing we do we have a

39
00:03:58,100 --> 00:04:04,580
little tradition which a lot of police departments do is we have a loved one come up and her husband

40
00:04:04,580 --> 00:04:07,240
and DJ is going to come up and pin the badge on Kelly.

41
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:17,050
Good job, chief. Build in the team, right? It's kind of like working through the portal, kind of, isn't it? As long as we provide you with enough NIL, I think we'll be fine, won't we?

42
00:06:38,530 --> 00:07:08,450
knowledge and service, Catholic schools in Illinois and across the nation are celebrating National Catholic Schools week from Sunday, January 26th through Saturday, February 1st, 2025, whereas nearly 38 Catholic schools in the diocese of Joliet provide quality education in the Catholic tradition to over 16,000 students and their families annually, whereas the Catholic schools in the state of Illinois have educated many students in preparation for the responsibilities as residents of this state and as members of society.

43
00:07:08,450 --> 00:07:13,370
Whereas the Catholic schools in the state can currently provide students with an education

44
00:07:13,370 --> 00:07:18,370
that emphasizes the formation of moral values and commitment to community service.

45
00:07:19,110 --> 00:07:23,530
And whereas the welfare of the state of Illinois requires that this and future generations

46
00:07:23,530 --> 00:07:29,330
of school age children be assured ample opportunity to develop their intellectual capacities to

47
00:07:29,330 --> 00:07:29,770
the fullest.

48
00:07:31,510 --> 00:07:36,430
Now therefore, I, John F. Argadillas, President of the Village of Plainfield, Illinois, do

49
00:07:36,430 --> 00:07:40,610
So here by proclaim January 26th through February 1st, 2025,

50
00:07:41,250 --> 00:07:44,390
as National Catholic Schools week throughout the Village of Plainfield, Illinois,

51
00:07:45,070 --> 00:07:48,030
and I commend this observance to all our citizens.

52
00:07:48,730 --> 00:07:50,770
Is there someone representing the Catholic schools?

53
00:07:50,970 --> 00:07:51,330
There you are.

54
00:07:52,270 --> 00:07:53,350
Let me come down and I'll present.

55
00:07:53,490 --> 00:07:57,430
If you'd like to say a few words, you're welcome to as well, or no, I'll just present you with this.

56
00:08:41,340 --> 00:08:42,360
Very good, trusty comments.

57
00:08:45,470 --> 00:08:47,290
Congratulations to Officer Buddy.

58
00:08:47,290 --> 00:08:51,770
I think it speaks volumes to see such a commitment within the family of law

59
00:08:51,770 --> 00:08:56,670
enforcement. I know she'll do a great job at the PD. So welcome aboard to her and

60
00:08:56,670 --> 00:09:02,250
all of our officers stay absolutely safe in 2025. And I think we've got some

61
00:09:02,250 --> 00:09:06,430
canine stuff coming up pretty soon too. So excited. Those promotions as well.

62
00:09:08,780 --> 00:09:09,180
And I

63
00:09:09,180 --> 00:09:14,440
just wanted to say a quick congratulations to Trustee Kel Kamis who's not here

64
00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:19,800
right now on her new baby, which is the reason why she's not here. I'm glad

65
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:21,680
everyone's healthy and happy.

66
00:09:23,740 --> 00:09:27,320
She is here. She can hear you doing well at home

67
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:32,920
I understand which is good. Any other trusty comments this evening? Very good

68
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:36,820
now is the time for public comment. Anybody who would like to make a comment from

69
00:09:36,820 --> 00:09:40,640
the public is welcome to step before the microphone. State your name please and

70
00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:42,100
make your comment or ask your question.

71
00:09:53,180 --> 00:09:54,280
No, no, no, just a little

72
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:58,820
the light on the base of the microphone should be on okay speak into the

73
00:09:58,820 --> 00:09:59,680
My girl, please please.

74
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:29,920
Aye, mayors, thank you. I'll make this short and sweet. I'm not a public speaker, so additionally, full transparency. I do watch the board meetings a lot. I don't know if there's a good thing or bad thing. So I'm here tonight to ask the trustees with regards to the industrial land as well as a lot of the homes that are going up around the village. Just to maybe take a step back.

75
00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:33,640
and think about the decision that might be made tonight.

76
00:10:33,980 --> 00:10:37,920
I don't have any problems with the homes and development,

77
00:10:38,100 --> 00:10:40,680
but it just seems like over the last four years,

78
00:10:40,680 --> 00:10:44,940
there's just been a lot of building,

79
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:47,160
a lot of the homes around where I live

80
00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:52,080
in the northern part of the village are not yet started

81
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:54,700
or some of them haven't been completed yet.

82
00:10:55,220 --> 00:10:57,660
So I just feel like there's going to be a lot of traffic

83
00:10:57,660 --> 00:11:03,580
And with a lot of the things that are that I've seen with regards to the village board over the last six months a year.

84
00:11:04,420 --> 00:11:08,340
It just feels like there's a lot of traffic that's taking place.

85
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:11,500
I commute a lot to the city on a regular basis.

86
00:11:11,900 --> 00:11:14,660
So I was telling somebody out in the hallway.

87
00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:21,240
Sometimes it takes me 20 to 30 minutes to go from 127th and Higgs to Essington to get on I-55.

88
00:11:21,680 --> 00:11:29,540
So I feel like because of the subdivisions haven't been completed, I think there's going to be a lot more traffic.

89
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:34,880
And then additionally, if we put in a lot of industrial land at West,

90
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:42,460
143rd is obviously going to be a truck route, so there's going to be a lot of truck traffic and so on and so forth.

91
00:11:42,460 --> 00:11:49,920
So, I would all just ask the trustees, just if you could just take a step back, wait till

92
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:57,560
things kind of pan out and see where we stand in maybe a year or two, because I'm a little

93
00:11:57,560 --> 00:12:03,840
concerned that there's going to be so much traffic just over the holidays, and chief you

94
00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:08,940
might know this, over the holidays 59 and 135 was completely closed because of a T-bone

95
00:12:08,940 --> 00:12:15,860
accident and the traffic was backed up way past Bandai. So just that's all I'm

96
00:12:15,860 --> 00:12:20,380
asking is just take a step back maybe and think and kind of see I know there's

97
00:12:20,380 --> 00:12:25,720
a comprehensive plan we talk about traffic improvements and so on and so forth

98
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:31,880
but I think the next six months you're going to see an uptick in traffic and I'm

99
00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:36,120
just like I said just asking for it maybe take a step back. Thank you very much.

100
00:12:40,540 --> 00:12:42,500
Yes please step forward sir.

101
00:12:46,570 --> 00:12:59,350
Good evening trustees and President Arguedales. I'm pleased to present myself. I'm Andaline Calgadi. I'm the superintendent of School District 308 and I see one of my colleagues here this evening.

102
00:13:00,450 --> 00:13:05,790
Glenn is here from 202 and I want to just invite you and share with you some good news

103
00:13:05,790 --> 00:13:08,470
that we are in the process of engaging a strategic plan.

104
00:13:09,090 --> 00:13:15,010
We are proud to serve students from Plainfield, many of them are Grand Park or Murphy and

105
00:13:15,010 --> 00:13:18,790
I'll speak at least high school and throughout the district because students may participate

106
00:13:18,790 --> 00:13:21,390
in various programs across many of our schools.

107
00:13:21,390 --> 00:13:26,870
We're the seventh largest school district in Illinois and we are proud members of also and

108
00:13:26,870 --> 00:13:31,910
include Plainflow as we're proud of that history and that connection here.

109
00:13:32,650 --> 00:13:37,010
One of the things that I'm here to share with you is that we've started the last couple

110
00:13:37,010 --> 00:13:38,930
of months engaged in a strategic planning process.

111
00:13:39,710 --> 00:13:45,390
And in order to really think about how we coordinate the supports to support all of our schools.

112
00:13:45,890 --> 00:13:51,250
We have 24 school sites and with all the resources, how do we pace ourselves to ensure that

113
00:13:51,250 --> 00:13:56,130
every effort is made to ensure that every one of our schools is the best it can be.

114
00:13:56,130 --> 00:14:01,090
We know that effort cannot be left alone to one individual or just a few individuals.

115
00:14:01,370 --> 00:14:04,610
So it's important to me to come out this evening and reach out to you.

116
00:14:04,950 --> 00:14:07,570
Invite you all for your contributions and reflections.

117
00:14:07,570 --> 00:14:16,170
If you go to our website, schooldistrict www.sd308.org, you're going to see a welcoming sign

118
00:14:16,170 --> 00:14:20,930
on there of our story and we want to invite you to join our story and to invite your residents

119
00:14:20,930 --> 00:14:28,910
to join in this storytelling and also more importantly envisioning our future so we can have a shared story of the success of our school district.

120
00:14:29,310 --> 00:14:38,510
I have some flyers here for you this evening. I'll leave them with you here and then I'm grateful also to be joined by a fellow board member who will come up and speak equally.

121
00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:41,780
Thank you.

122
00:14:48,020 --> 00:14:49,560
Other public comment this evening?

123
00:14:57,710 --> 00:14:59,030
Later, can I see that this one? Okay.

124
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:29,420
That's fine. Thank you. Good evening and happy new year to everyone. My name is Mary Jo Onemith. I'm actually an Ask We Go resident, but more importantly, I have the privilege of serving as a member of the SD 308 Board of Education Board of Education. It's hard to do in one breath. I'm going to just kind of piggyback on what Dr. Calgatti said. We are putting the strategic plan together and the goal of the strategic plan is to ensure that our students

125
00:15:29,420 --> 00:15:35,500
when they leave our doors for the last time as students are the most well-rounded,

126
00:15:35,700 --> 00:15:41,480
well-educated, happy, to an extent that they can be.

127
00:15:42,140 --> 00:15:50,400
A fulfilled people that will be ready to answer into society and become productive members of society.

128
00:15:51,420 --> 00:15:57,480
That's a lofty goal, but it's one that we think that we can at least start to head toward

129
00:15:57,480 --> 00:16:03,080
and make a big dent in, but in order to get that done we do need to put this plan together.

130
00:16:03,300 --> 00:16:08,320
And being as large a school district as we are, we know that every individual has kind of a

131
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:13,760
different idea of how to get there. My idea of how to accomplish that may be a little bit different

132
00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:20,220
from yours based on where you live, based on how old your children are. If you have children in the

133
00:16:20,220 --> 00:16:25,040
district, if you don't, I mean, there's, we have such a diverse community. There's a myriad of

134
00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:27,720
things that can kind of change everyone's perception.

135
00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:32,580
We think it doesn't serve the community for all of us,

136
00:16:32,780 --> 00:16:36,560
for just the board, and some of the admin at school

137
00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:38,720
to sit together and put a plan together

138
00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:41,420
without any input from the rest of the community

139
00:16:41,420 --> 00:16:44,260
because the community is what makes up our school district.

140
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:48,020
So again, to kind of piggyback on what Dr. Kelgady was saying,

141
00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:53,100
we are having a number of forms of small group discussions.

142
00:16:53,100 --> 00:16:59,040
we actually just had two of them go on today where people can kind of just give us their input.

143
00:16:59,500 --> 00:17:04,080
We want to be able to get input from as many people in the community as we possibly can,

144
00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:08,760
so that we can make sure, as I said, that we put together the best,

145
00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:12,800
most diverse plan that leads us into the future.

146
00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:17,600
And again, ultimately services our kids, which in turn services the community.

147
00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:27,400
So SD308.org, as Dr. K said, please take a moment to just take a look and again, any input

148
00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:30,100
of yours is welcome, please spread the word.

149
00:17:30,380 --> 00:17:31,640
We welcome everyone's comments.

150
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:32,460
Thank you.

151
00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:33,520
Thank you for coming.

152
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:39,040
As is our long time policy, if you want to go home, you can go home too.

153
00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:41,020
We don't expect people to wait for the whole meeting.

154
00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:44,220
Other public comments, please step forward, state your name.

155
00:17:44,220 --> 00:17:44,300
My name

156
00:17:50,540 --> 00:17:56,060
is Stephan Dubois. I have to be honest, this is my very first Board of Trustees meeting.

157
00:17:56,540 --> 00:18:03,740
I've lived in Plainfield for about a year and a half. And my wife and I and my son and my mother-in-law live in part of the new development.

158
00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:08,740
So the gentleman that spoke first, I wanted to thank him first for his comment.

159
00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:13,080
Because my wife and I, we moved out here planning to start a family.

160
00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:16,580
My wife was actually pregnant when we moved into our home.

161
00:18:16,580 --> 00:18:32,260
And the idea was is that we are moving to an area that was very family oriented and about six months, maybe a year after moving in, we noticed a distribution center warehouse was being built literally on our street.

162
00:18:33,220 --> 00:18:40,840
And honestly, it hurt a lot because my son, I love him more than anything.

163
00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:55,880
and I'm missing time with him right now to be here to speak with you all, because I don't want him growing up in a neighborhood where we have semi-truck traffic, and we've all driven the freeways in Chicago, I imagine, from one time or another.

164
00:18:56,080 --> 00:19:02,460
We've seen the way that they drive, it's not even their fault, they're overworked, and it's dangerous.

165
00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:10,100
I also have a dog, God forbid if he ever got out, fortunately he's a German shepherd, he won't go anywhere, he's terrified to leave home without me.

166
00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:16,220
But, with all of these changes happening, the immense amount of traffic, specifically

167
00:19:16,220 --> 00:19:24,240
with semi-trucks, trains are constantly going through traffic aside, it can be dangerous

168
00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:25,880
for kids, especially young kids.

169
00:19:26,300 --> 00:19:27,220
What if my song got out?

170
00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:30,580
I look, I fenced in my yard, but is that enough?

171
00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:32,140
I don't know.

172
00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:36,840
I pray that I do a good job, a good enough job as a father to protect him, to make him

173
00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:44,240
aware but in my eyes it it just seems very concerning to see the type of

174
00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:49,960
development being placed right next to families and I hope you all just take

175
00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:56,500
a minute to think about it and maybe kind of gauge a few things traffic is

176
00:19:56,500 --> 00:19:59,920
the infrastructure in place is it safe those are the types

177
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:04,860
The things I worry about. Thank you. Any other public comment?

178
00:20:10,010 --> 00:20:11,430
That's fine. Just identify

179
00:20:11,430 --> 00:20:14,710
both of yourselves. And it's probably your last name, but it's hard to just spell and

180
00:20:14,710 --> 00:20:20,690
Smith. Miranda Kinsinger, K-I-N-S-I-N-G-E-R. And Brandon Kinsinger.

181
00:20:21,910 --> 00:20:26,810
So before we move to plain field in 2020, we spent so much time in plain field because we

182
00:20:26,810 --> 00:20:32,430
loved the community that our family joked we should move here. And in 2020, we did. Right

183
00:20:32,430 --> 00:20:38,270
before the pandemic and you know for such a challenging time playing field was

184
00:20:38,270 --> 00:20:43,390
instantly home and we loved that and since the five years we've been here in

185
00:20:43,390 --> 00:20:48,050
Liberty Grove we've seen hundreds of homes be constructed near us and at the

186
00:20:48,050 --> 00:20:52,230
end of the day their homes they give other people the same chance to live in the

187
00:20:52,230 --> 00:20:58,010
great community that I love however putting an industrial park right next to all

188
00:20:58,010 --> 00:21:03,250
of these homes that have been built. It doesn't seem like this is for the people or the

189
00:21:03,250 --> 00:21:08,870
citizens or for our community. It seems like it has different motives. I own a business

190
00:21:08,870 --> 00:21:15,210
in Plainfield. Most of my business is commuting. Over the years, the commute times the traffic

191
00:21:15,210 --> 00:21:20,610
has become worse. Our infrastructure already isn't supporting. All that Plainfield's already

192
00:21:20,610 --> 00:21:27,070
grown, let alone to add more in semis. On 143rd there, there are children that play. We walked

193
00:21:27,070 --> 00:21:33,590
to the little cheesecake shop and what used to be family video but you know the

194
00:21:33,590 --> 00:21:40,150
semi-traffic there isn't safe that this isn't the spot for this so I just

195
00:21:40,150 --> 00:21:46,690
wanted to come today and express that and basically the same comment for me

196
00:21:47,670 --> 00:21:53,370
sorry let me raise this up a little bit here you know we had the goal of coming up

197
00:21:53,370 --> 00:21:58,390
here because we liked playing fields very much, you know, when we were kids and, you know,

198
00:21:58,550 --> 00:22:02,870
so we did end up moving up here, as my wife had said, we're going to start a family.

199
00:22:03,110 --> 00:22:03,870
Other things came.

200
00:22:05,430 --> 00:22:06,270
There's neither here nor there.

201
00:22:06,910 --> 00:22:14,930
Basically, what I'd like to get to is understand the expansion of designation on 143rd to move

202
00:22:14,930 --> 00:22:15,970
the truck traffic through.

203
00:22:17,550 --> 00:22:18,670
I was looking through it.

204
00:22:18,670 --> 00:22:25,990
It seems very good on paper, but I'm not quite understanding exactly how that fully connects

205
00:22:25,990 --> 00:22:27,890
the traffic into 55.

206
00:22:28,650 --> 00:22:33,570
Are they bringing the traffic back into 126 on the east side of 59?

207
00:22:34,110 --> 00:22:41,030
One thing I would advise you and anybody else interested, they're on our website, the plans

208
00:22:41,030 --> 00:22:46,750
for 143rd or laid out, but just briefly, it's going to be extended east when it dead ends

209
00:22:46,750 --> 00:22:52,670
on 59, it's being extended, it's under construction now, so it'll be extended east to present day 126.

210
00:22:52,970 --> 00:23:00,250
So the traffic route 126 will be swapped out with Lockport Street, 126 will be 143rd Street.

211
00:23:00,370 --> 00:23:05,570
That plan is one that's been in the works for maybe 15 or 18 years and that's coming to fruition.

212
00:23:05,670 --> 00:23:12,330
So it will connect up to the existing route 126 and 143rd Street will be route 126 probably in 2026.

213
00:23:12,330 --> 00:23:19,410
Okay. Okay. There's more information on the website. So anybody who's interested in the details, please check out the website, the Village website.

214
00:23:19,730 --> 00:23:20,690
Gotcha. Understood.

215
00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:33,660
The ending comment I would have to that would be, could we just see how that expansion works before we zone out more industrial park?

216
00:23:38,740 --> 00:23:43,440
Thank you. Thank you. Thanks for coming. Any other public comments?

217
00:23:46,270 --> 00:23:48,230
Very good. We'll move on with the business meeting.

218
00:23:48,230 --> 00:23:51,290
is it? Oh okay please step forward.

219
00:23:57,430 --> 00:24:01,610
I have three basic comments I'm going to start with. I don't

220
00:24:01,610 --> 00:24:08,850
appreciate being censored by you Mayor Arvidales and it's illegal and I would appreciate being put

221
00:24:08,850 --> 00:24:16,330
back on the public page. You were caught and lies at the last meeting and that's why you censored me.

222
00:24:16,330 --> 00:24:24,870
That's number one. Number two, I'm going to get into the brunt of this. I'd be happy to explain it to you if you'd like after the meeting.

223
00:24:25,870 --> 00:24:32,130
The East traffic is going right into another part of your forgotten plane field that you don't really care about.

224
00:24:32,950 --> 00:24:39,670
It's going into other residents. If you look at this village plan, all of the purple here,

225
00:24:41,730 --> 00:24:45,990
which is most of this page, is now becoming industrial.

226
00:24:45,990 --> 00:24:53,050
industrial. Industrial. This is the north part of our village. Industrial. They took away

227
00:24:53,050 --> 00:24:57,950
almost 500 acres and turned it into industrial and

228
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:26,680
I don't understand why you are agreeing to that. I want to know how you keep on saying it's a benefit to the village. How is this going to alleviate our tax bill? You say it's a benefit to us. How is this alleviating our tax bill? My tax bill keeps going up higher and higher and higher, since I've moved here in early 20s. In fact, early 2000s, 2001, my tax bill is more than doubled.

229
00:25:27,360 --> 00:25:35,320
I haven't seen it on paper. You haven't spelled it out to us. You haven't said this is how it's going to alleviate. Where is the dollars?

230
00:25:36,700 --> 00:25:50,000
Where and when are places like Woodmans, Portillo's? All of these valuable assets to our community. How and when is that going to alleviate our text bill?

231
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:57,320
How is the truck route, how is this specifically these seven warehouses going to alleviate our tax bill?

232
00:25:57,880 --> 00:26:03,660
There's no end customers to these seven warehouses. How is that going to alleviate our tax bill?

233
00:26:03,740 --> 00:26:07,940
You're going to spend our money? Who's going to pay the taxes to alleviate our tax bill?

234
00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:16,380
We're paying for, we are paying for that. We're paying for all of this infrastructure. Where is that money coming from to pay us back?

235
00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:25,800
Let me also ask this question, we're approving this east side concrete,

236
00:26:27,900 --> 00:26:28,080
I keep

237
00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:32,200
calling it concrete, it's warehouses. I know that recently, there was a, or

238
00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:39,800
sorry, the west side, there was an east side industrial that was next. It was

239
00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:45,240
where the quarry was going to be put in. I know it was bowling broke, but we were

240
00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:53,040
part of nixing that because it was next to Liberty schools. Liberty. Why was that

241
00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:58,220
nix and everyone agreed to nix that? Everyone agreed to it and we're not

242
00:26:58,220 --> 00:27:02,080
nixing all way down on the west side where there's schools, there's

243
00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:06,260
residents. Everyone here seems to be against it. I'm on Facebook all over the

244
00:27:06,260 --> 00:27:10,000
place. There aren't residents and this is rhetorical now. I'm not explaining I'm

245
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:12,660
I'm not asking you to solutionize here or agree to disagree.

246
00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:18,820
Why was that one nixed and the west side is all open and everyone's like, let's go for

247
00:27:18,820 --> 00:27:19,000
it.

248
00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:20,420
We're all gung ho on it.

249
00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:22,940
And all these taxing bodies are gung ho on it.

250
00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:23,900
So why is that?

251
00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:30,880
So those taxing bodies that are saying, oh yeah, let's all out, we're gung ho on it.

252
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:31,700
We're great for it.

253
00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:37,620
And I'm wondering why District 308 is out here asking for it too.

254
00:27:37,620 --> 00:27:44,080
So bottom line is we keep talking, for 20 years, we've been talking about the infrastructure.

255
00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:49,420
We're saying we got problems for the last 20 years that I know up.

256
00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:50,980
We got problems with the infrastructure.

257
00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:56,360
Where is the infrastructure plan in here?

258
00:27:57,340 --> 00:27:58,980
Where's the infrastructure plan?

259
00:27:59,740 --> 00:28:09,040
We've been as residents, as a community, we've been saying there's a problem with infrastructure.

260
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:18,540
Trains, streets, trucks, we've been saying it's been taken, who said 27 minutes to get from,

261
00:28:19,020 --> 00:28:24,200
you know, one side and the bill is the other? No, no, no, it's 27 minutes to get from 59 to 55.

262
00:28:25,360 --> 00:28:26,760
Where's the infrastructure plan?

263
00:28:29,190 --> 00:28:30,270
That should have come before this.

264
00:28:31,770 --> 00:28:33,730
Okay, is there any other public comment this evening?

265
00:28:38,850 --> 00:28:41,410
Please date and spell your last name, please.

266
00:28:49,540 --> 00:28:56,620
Muffle, on top of what everybody has already said, my biggest question is why are we going

267
00:28:56,620 --> 00:29:04,720
to move forward with this industrial plan when we have no businesses that have even expressed

268
00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:05,600
interest in it?

269
00:29:05,780 --> 00:29:11,540
So we're going to put up concrete buildings that are going to help our taxpayers, but nobody's

270
00:29:11,540 --> 00:29:14,960
interested at this point and said, yes, build these because we're going to move in.

271
00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:18,740
That's what I just want to add to the previous comments.

272
00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:19,800
Thank you.

273
00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:21,300
Any other public comment?

274
00:29:30,970 --> 00:29:36,990
Hello, Nora Dalton, D-A-L-T-O-N. I've been a Plainfield resident for 20-plus years.

275
00:29:37,690 --> 00:29:44,590
I also have a unique experience in national real estate for the past 20 years, including

276
00:29:44,590 --> 00:29:45,730
a lot of industrial.

277
00:29:45,730 --> 00:29:58,170
I also have worked in transportation specifically for roadway, which is FedEx company, so I know uniquely what lots of trucks do to a community in the issues that come with that.

278
00:29:58,170 --> 00:29:59,970
I-

279
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:29,900
Support what the previous citizens have set up here. And to be honest, I think the best word that I can say is that this is a detrimental plan to Plainfield. If I wanted to live in Romeoville and Juliet with lots of industrial, that was shiny and new at one point, I would have gone there. We all know what eventually happens there. And I think Plainfield has the opportunity to look and take a pause.

280
00:30:29,900 --> 00:30:34,500
because, as I understand it, like Kathleen said, we don't have anybody clamoring for this.

281
00:30:35,580 --> 00:30:39,180
So, these jobs, there are no jobs, there's nobody supporting anything.

282
00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:44,640
My real issue is, I am very involved with the community.

283
00:30:44,860 --> 00:30:45,940
I don't know anybody who wants this.

284
00:30:46,260 --> 00:30:50,140
I'm in lots of organizations. I have not met a single person who says, yes,

285
00:30:50,660 --> 00:30:54,740
and it is an ice world, but they're right across from that new subdivision.

286
00:30:56,100 --> 00:30:57,480
So, somebody wants this.

287
00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:04,740
and my question is, who is that and what are their motives, and they should be checked.

288
00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:09,060
Thank you. That's it. Got all the notes? Appreciate it.

289
00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:14,020
Thank you. Any other public comment this evening? Very good. We'll move on to our business meetings.

290
00:31:14,180 --> 00:31:15,160
Their motion to approve the agenda.

291
00:31:20,410 --> 00:31:23,950
The motion's been made and seconded to approve the agenda. Trustee Ruin?

292
00:31:24,230 --> 00:31:24,570
Yes.

293
00:31:24,910 --> 00:31:25,670
Trustee Wajowski?

294
00:31:25,890 --> 00:31:25,990
Yes.

295
00:31:26,250 --> 00:31:26,870

346
00:33:45,430 --> 00:33:45,590
Yes.

347
00:33:45,850 --> 00:33:46,450
Trustee Larson?

348
00:33:46,690 --> 00:33:46,830

349

Thank you, Dan.

350
00:33:47,530 --> 00:33:48,050
Motion carries.

351
00:33:48,290 --> 00:33:50,770
Please proceed with item 4, Ms. Gibbis?

352
00:33:51,050 --> 00:33:53,790
Next item on the agenda is Equal Williams and Provin's Alling.

353
00:33:54,150 --> 00:33:56,570
We're seeking for consideration of the motion to authorize

354
00:33:56,570 --> 00:34:03,450
payments to Equal Williams and Provin Valley in the amount of $1,612 and $50.

355
00:34:03,690 --> 00:34:04,310
So moved.

356
00:34:04,790 --> 00:34:04,950
Second.

357
00:34:05,330 --> 00:34:06,290
That motion's been made.

358
00:34:06,770 --> 00:34:09,390
And seconded, are there any comments or questions on this item?

359
00:34:09,590 --> 00:34:10,330
I have a question.

360
00:34:10,890 --> 00:34:18,170
Given the judgment happened in 2023, and this is more for Mr. Vogel than anybody else, and

361
00:34:18,170 --> 00:34:23,390
this involves the mayor's legal case, knowing that this went to the appellate level and

362
00:34:23,390 --> 00:34:29,510
was denied by three justices and then the denial went came through within days for reconsideration.

363
00:34:29,930 --> 00:34:34,510
Last I knew we were in 2025 and after the first of the year we worked to start a collections process.

364
00:34:35,950 --> 00:34:38,230
So when are we starting that collections process?

365
00:34:41,640 --> 00:34:46,940
I mean I think that's a question I would probably direct to the ECHO program's OLE firm because

366
00:34:46,940 --> 00:34:51,020
I've not represented the village in this to any extent whatsoever.

367
00:34:51,020 --> 00:34:59,880
Okay, so we've spent over a hundred and twenty thousand dollars from a lawsuit from 2018 that has been extended out that has been lost

368
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:19,720
The court's up through the appellate level, so I'll reach out to Mr. Terry Eccles, which will cost the taxpayers more money as we attempt to recoup nearly $50,000, $9% interest against the mayor's judgment. Thank you. Any other comments on this matter? Ms. Gibbis.

369
00:35:19,720 --> 00:35:27,540
The motion was made in seconded to authorize payment to Equal Williams in Provenzali in the amount of $1,612.50, Trustee Ruin.

370
00:35:27,780 --> 00:35:27,900
Yes.

371
00:35:28,340 --> 00:35:29,220
Trustee Wajewski.

372
00:35:29,380 --> 00:35:29,560
Yes.

373
00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:30,400
Trustee Benucci.

374
00:35:30,620 --> 00:35:30,760
Yes.

375
00:35:31,160 --> 00:35:32,100
Trustee Kiel-Kannis.

376
00:35:33,040 --> 00:35:33,240
Yes.

377
00:35:33,640 --> 00:35:34,240
Trustee Kiefer.

378
00:35:34,520 --> 00:35:34,700
Yes.

379
00:35:34,940 --> 00:35:35,480
Trustee Larson.

380
00:35:35,680 --> 00:35:35,860
Yes.

381
00:35:36,120 --> 00:35:37,060
Thank you, the motion carries.

382
00:35:37,420 --> 00:35:39,240
Ms. Gibbs, you want to proceed with 5A?

383
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:43,000
Next item on the agenda is TCC Plainfield.

384
00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:48,340
We're seeking board consideration of motion to open a public hearing regarding the proposed annexation agreement

385
00:35:48,340 --> 00:35:51,060
for the development known as TCC Plainfield,

386
00:35:51,240 --> 00:35:53,520
located generally south of 143rd Street

387
00:35:53,520 --> 00:35:55,040
and west of Steiner Road.

388
00:35:55,540 --> 00:35:55,900
Tomo.

389
00:35:56,080 --> 00:35:56,340
Second.

390
00:35:56,800 --> 00:35:58,780
That motion's been made and seconded.

391
00:35:59,000 --> 00:35:59,460
All in favor?

392
00:35:59,720 --> 00:35:59,980
Hi.

393
00:36:00,280 --> 00:36:00,680
All opposed.

394
00:36:01,420 --> 00:36:02,520
Thank you, that motion carries.

395
00:36:03,820 --> 00:36:06,640
Mr. Rosenova, I don't know if you wanna say anything

396
00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:08,180
during this time and Mr. Pru.

397
00:36:08,900 --> 00:36:10,160
So thank you, Mary.

398
00:36:10,300 --> 00:36:10,480
Good evening.

399
00:36:10,480 --> 00:36:10,800
Thank you.

400
00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:13,480
Trustee's, if I may, just offer a few staff comments

401
00:36:13,480 --> 00:36:16,140
as an introduction before he hand things over

402
00:36:16,140 --> 00:36:19,060
forward to the development team and hold the public hearing as well.

403
00:36:20,100 --> 00:36:25,180
This project was first introduced, the Committee of the Whole on November 25th.

404
00:36:25,340 --> 00:36:29,620
So just before Thanksgiving, I just wanted to set the stage for where we are procedurally.

405
00:36:29,940 --> 00:36:33,680
This is the first formal meeting for consideration at the village board level.

406
00:36:34,300 --> 00:36:39,800
What we're hoping to accomplish tonight is to hold the public hearing on the proposed annexation agreement.

407
00:36:40,320 --> 00:36:45,820
Then we're also asking the village board to direct our village attorney to prepare the necessary ordinances

408
00:36:45,820 --> 00:36:50,280
services for a project approval, those ordinances would come back at a subsequent meeting.

409
00:36:50,640 --> 00:37:01,300
Currently it will be anticipated at the February 3rd Village Board meeting for approval of annexation by annexation agreement for approval of a special use for planned development.

410
00:37:01,980 --> 00:37:06,160
Resoning of the property in a preliminary and final plan.

411
00:37:07,180 --> 00:37:15,340
So, procedurally we're holding public hearing and we're looking for a direction to prepare ordinances but there will be no request for project approval at tonight's meeting.

412
00:37:16,500 --> 00:37:38,300
Just a few staff comments I didn't have an opportunity to point out at the committee of the whole meeting, just to take a step back, not specific to this location, but I think it's important to recognize that the village of Cleanfield is very fortunate to have a developer of the quality of Tramble Crow looking to invest literally hundreds of millions of dollars here in the village.

413
00:37:38,300 --> 00:37:49,860
I don't think there's a community in the Chicago end area, or the state of Illinois for that matter that would not want to welcome that opportunity to consider a proposed project.

414
00:37:50,080 --> 00:37:55,360
So we're certainly fortunate to have a tremble crow here interested in investing in the village of Plainfield.

415
00:37:57,600 --> 00:38:07,000
I know we talk a lot about the importance of having infrastructure to support development and I think it's worth noting for this project at this location that

416
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:15,780
The villager point field has already completed three significant road improvements that support this development kind of sequentially.

417
00:38:16,160 --> 00:38:25,900
The villager point field is the entity that improved 143rd Street where the ones who built 143rd Street west of Medellin out to Steiner Road, which did not exist.

418
00:38:26,840 --> 00:38:34,160
Then the village completed the extension of Steiner Road north of Blackbridge Street at Route 126 up to 143rd Street.

419
00:38:34,160 --> 00:38:52,120
And that was accomplished with the assistance of the property owner, the current property owner of the subject property here, who donated the right-of-way for Steiner Road with the understanding that the village would cooperate with future development that was compatible with the village's comprehensive plan.

420
00:38:53,500 --> 00:38:59,200
And then thirdly and most recently, the village extended 143rd Street west of Steiner Road out to Ridge Road.

421
00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:03,080
So that's the ribbon cutting we just held out in late December.

422
00:39:04,400 --> 00:39:12,020
So I think this is an excellent example of the village investing in infrastructure that supports future growth.

423
00:39:13,600 --> 00:39:17,260
I think we're familiar with the project, but just a brief description.

424
00:39:18,100 --> 00:39:22,840
It's located west of Steiner Road, between 143rd Street on the north side and

425
00:39:22,840 --> 00:39:27,880
Parkport Street around 126 on the south side and encompasses approximately 340 acres.

426
00:39:28,590 --> 00:39:34,120
The current site plan proposes up to seven buildings that would total approximately

427
00:39:34,120 --> 00:39:39,220
five million square feet of overall development that will be accomplished in phases likely

428
00:39:39,220 --> 00:39:41,840
over, you know, many years, several years.

429
00:39:43,790 --> 00:39:49,780
The proposed warehouse distribution development is entirely compatible with the trend of development.

430
00:39:49,780 --> 00:39:55,240
we see in the area really started with the Diazio Warehouse and Distribution Center that was

431
00:39:55,240 --> 00:39:59,920
approved in 2018, and then the DHL price.

432
00:40:09,600 --> 00:40:29,980
As you can see, we're just now seeing the first of those buildings in the Plain Field Business Center near and completion of the construction here in 2025. So even as these projects are approved, it takes several years to go through the closing and acquisition of the property, the final engineering, the marketing of the building.

433
00:40:29,980 --> 00:40:36,600
and finding end users. So it's not an overnight impact to the community. It certainly takes

434
00:40:36,600 --> 00:40:43,940
several years for these projects to be implemented. But again, to the trend of development, certainly

435
00:40:43,940 --> 00:40:50,860
what's being proposed is consistent with the trend of development with the area. And more

436
00:40:50,860 --> 00:40:57,540
over, the applicant applied in April of 2024. And one of the reasons we're just now getting

437
00:40:57,540 --> 00:41:05,520
to consider this in really 2025 is that it was necessary to complete the village's comprehensive plan,

438
00:41:05,840 --> 00:41:09,920
brand new comprehensive plan. It's not an update, a new comprehensive plan process.

439
00:41:10,620 --> 00:41:16,000
Our applicant was very patient with the village understanding that they didn't want and we didn't

440
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:20,760
want a specific development proposal to drive the village's comprehensive planning efforts.

441
00:41:21,700 --> 00:41:27,160
So as the village approved or adopted, our new comprehensive plan on October of 2024

442
00:41:28,080 --> 00:41:37,700
That allowed this project now to come forward and the project is entirely compatible and consistent with the comprehensive plan that the village approved last October.

443
00:41:39,120 --> 00:41:51,900
In terms of some of the project benefits, certainly it would have substantial financial benefits during construction in terms of temporary construction impacts.

444
00:41:51,900 --> 00:41:57,640
But we're over the long-term employment benefits over 3600 permanent employees

445
00:41:57,640 --> 00:42:03,980
and estimated $6 million in annual tax revenues to all of our local units of government

446
00:42:03,980 --> 00:42:11,200
per year, so over a 10-year period that's $60 million, $60 million of property tax revenue

447
00:42:11,200 --> 00:42:12,840
to our local community.

448
00:42:13,560 --> 00:42:17,080
And that's, you know, annually in perpetuity.

449
00:42:19,040 --> 00:42:21,220
I will note a few things.

450
00:42:21,420 --> 00:42:25,180
The project was considered by the Planning Commission in July of 2024.

451
00:42:26,480 --> 00:42:27,880
Planning Commission held a public hearing.

452
00:42:27,960 --> 00:42:33,900
There was one comment, I believe, the representative of an adjoining property owner had some concerns

453
00:42:33,900 --> 00:42:34,740
about compatibility.

454
00:42:35,560 --> 00:42:40,360
And I believe our comprehensive plan addressed those concerns, I would defer to that property

455
00:42:40,360 --> 00:42:46,120
owner should he choose to speak, but certainly staff's perception that any concerns that

456
00:42:46,120 --> 00:42:50,440
were raised at that plain commission public hearing have been addressed. Beyond that there

457
00:42:50,440 --> 00:42:56,380
were no other public comments and to staff's knowledge there have been no comments, phone

458
00:42:56,380 --> 00:43:02,160
calls or emails relative to the project in support or opposition, or I just didn't say

459
00:43:02,160 --> 00:43:07,600
in support we do have communication support but no phone calls or emails in opposition

460
00:43:07,600 --> 00:43:10,460
to the project outside of that plain commission public hearing.

461
00:43:13,320 --> 00:43:32,480
In terms of the annexation agreement, which is a subject to the public hearing this evening it identifies some financial benefits to the village as we have negotiated for each of the industrial projects that have come through and in fact this project is the most generous or most substantial in terms of the dollar value of public contributions.

462
00:43:32,480 --> 00:43:45,760
and not just the total dollar value at approximately $6.4 million, but also on just a per-square-foot basis, which is a calculation we use to make sure that the projects are consistent in some of the compatible from project to project.

463
00:43:46,020 --> 00:43:56,200
So this project would provide a benefit to the village of approximately $1.28 per square foot, whereas some of the other projects have ranged from 75 cents to a dollar per square foot.

464
00:43:56,320 --> 00:43:59,260
So this is really the most generous or most substantial benefit.

465
00:43:59,260 --> 00:44:03,400
But now where do those 6.4 million dollars go?

466
00:44:05,310 --> 00:44:09,240
The agreement has been drafted to give the bill's board flexibility to identify how the

467
00:44:09,240 --> 00:44:13,620
funds are spent but staff has proposed certain projects that will be priorities based on

468
00:44:13,620 --> 00:44:15,760
our comprehensive plan and the transportation plan.

469
00:44:16,480 --> 00:44:23,220
Some of those projects could include feasibility study for a great separation on 143rd street

470
00:44:23,220 --> 00:44:31,240
east of Bandaiq Road for a phase one study for widening of 143rd street between Steiner Road and

471
00:44:31,240 --> 00:44:37,940
Wallen Drive to fund construction of future improvements to that section of Wallen Drive to

472
00:44:37,940 --> 00:44:44,560
provide financial contributions to implement our water and sanitaries or master plan in this area

473
00:44:44,560 --> 00:44:49,820
which has been a challenge as certain critics have come through so that funding would really allow

474
00:44:49,820 --> 00:44:55,920
the village to take the lead in implementing some of the regional infrastructure utility projects

475
00:44:55,920 --> 00:44:59,480
that are needed. And there's also been suggestions for

476
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:29,900
A contribution to fund improvements within the riverfront and in other improvements. Lastly, I'll just note the project does propose constructing county line road through through the development. That's a transportation improvement that's in our current transportation plan. The developers not seeking any financial contributions for that. There is a provision in the in an excitation agreement that would allow the developer to get credit for cost for the

477
00:45:29,900 --> 00:45:33,700
intersection of county line road and route 126 which would have to be reconfigured

478
00:45:34,320 --> 00:45:36,960
potentially with road rate of way involved.

479
00:45:38,460 --> 00:45:42,280
And then the last thing I'll note, I know this is in your packet.

480
00:45:42,960 --> 00:45:47,080
There is a letter of support, a unified letter of support from all five

481
00:45:47,660 --> 00:45:52,300
units of government here, and I see many representatives in the audience to my knowledge.

482
00:45:52,580 --> 00:45:56,980
May 20 plus years here at the village of Plainfield, this is the first time for a development

483
00:45:56,980 --> 00:46:02,860
my proposal that we've had all of our peer units of government recommending approval.

484
00:46:03,080 --> 00:46:08,060
I don't want to speak for them, but I know they're deferential to the village that this is a land use decision.

485
00:46:08,740 --> 00:46:13,560
But I think it underscores the magnitude of the project and the importance to our local community.

486
00:46:14,700 --> 00:46:16,800
So with that, it's just some staff commentary.

487
00:46:17,560 --> 00:46:22,700
I'd like to turn it down and hand things over to Vince Rosanova with a Rosanova and Whitaker for any further presentation.

488
00:46:22,700 --> 00:46:27,600
Mr. Prough, thank you for that very thorough overview of things.

489
00:46:27,780 --> 00:46:31,500
I know we've had this in our committee of the holes and we've learned a lot about this project,

490
00:46:31,520 --> 00:46:34,620
but thank you for summarizing all the key points again.

491
00:46:35,080 --> 00:46:36,540
Mr. Rosenova, welcome this evening.

492
00:46:36,900 --> 00:46:37,640
Good evening, Mayor.

493
00:46:37,860 --> 00:46:38,620
podium jurors, sir.

494
00:46:38,760 --> 00:46:40,180
Please, for the record, I'm back

495
00:46:43,540 --> 00:46:45,860
this evening on behalf of the petitioner,

496
00:46:46,020 --> 00:46:47,380
which is Travel Crow Company.

497
00:46:48,000 --> 00:46:52,520
With me this evening, we have Joshua Hoffman and Matt Freightag, both with Travel Crow,

498
00:46:52,520 --> 00:46:56,700
as well as our entire design team happy to answer any questions.

499
00:46:57,360 --> 00:47:01,840
At our last meeting, we gave the long version of the overview, so for tonight,

500
00:47:02,360 --> 00:47:08,040
our plan is to first introduce Josh Rudelhoffman, who will give some additional background on Trammel Crow,

501
00:47:08,360 --> 00:47:11,240
as well as their vision for the Plainfield Business Center,

502
00:47:11,800 --> 00:47:16,400
at which point then I'll introduce Rory Fancler, who will give an overview of her traffic study,

503
00:47:16,400 --> 00:47:23,460
And then I'll wrap it up with a summary of the economic benefits to the village and the county as always

504
00:47:23,460 --> 00:47:29,940
We're more than happy to answer any questions. So if any of those come up along the way, let us know and we'll do our best to get those answered.

505
00:47:40,220 --> 00:47:41,920
Good evening and happy new year everybody.

506
00:47:42,340 --> 00:47:51,540
Thank you Mr. Mayor, trustees and staff for the time this evening and the consideration of our application of Tremor Crow Company for the expansion of Plainfield Business Center.

507
00:47:52,120 --> 00:47:56,780
As Vince mentioned, we went into a more in-depth presentation during the Committee on the

508
00:47:56,780 --> 00:47:57,180
whole meeting.

509
00:47:57,420 --> 00:48:01,320
So I'll endeavor to be a bit more brief this evening, although revenues not always

510
00:48:01,320 --> 00:48:03,440
my top skill set.

511
00:48:03,660 --> 00:48:06,120
So I'll try to launch in here quickly.

512
00:48:06,440 --> 00:48:14,780
As Mr. Peru was so kind to enumerate in some of his opening remarks, I do have the good

513
00:48:14,780 --> 00:48:16,980
fortune to be with Tremel Crow Company.

514
00:48:17,520 --> 00:48:21,720
We've been recognized by many organizations throughout the United States as one of the

515
00:48:21,720 --> 00:48:24,480
largest and most active developers in the country.

516
00:48:25,660 --> 00:48:30,020
Specifically, over the last 11 years, we've actually developed the most square footage from

517
00:48:30,020 --> 00:48:32,940
all product types across the United States.

518
00:48:33,340 --> 00:48:35,160
We've now entered into the European markets.

519
00:48:36,360 --> 00:48:40,200
What a lot of folks also don't know is we're actually a wholly owned subsidiary of CBRE.

520
00:48:40,740 --> 00:48:44,460
CBRE is a brand that many folks are more familiar with than Tramble Crow Company.

521
00:48:45,240 --> 00:48:51,400
Why that's meaningful is it actually allows us to be a division of the largest real estate

522
00:48:51,400 --> 00:48:53,460
company in the world by a factor of several.

523
00:48:53,940 --> 00:48:58,060
We're currently ranked, I think, about 126 on the Fortune 500 companies list.

524
00:48:58,780 --> 00:49:03,020
That gives us access into capital markets, into debt markets, and perhaps most important

525
00:49:03,020 --> 00:49:07,860
to the group in this room, it gives us access to the largest employers in the world.

526
00:49:08,460 --> 00:49:13,640
In many, many cases, the brokers that we work with to help represent our buildings are actually

527
00:49:13,640 --> 00:49:17,400
the brokers also representing these tenants, and I'm going to touch on a couple of examples

528
00:49:17,400 --> 00:49:19,640
of that as we go through the presentation here this evening.

529
00:49:20,440 --> 00:49:25,700
A couple of numbers for the group here in the room currently we have $19 billion of projects

530
00:49:25,700 --> 00:49:30,900
under active development in the United States with an additional $13 billion of projects actively

531
00:49:30,900 --> 00:49:31,400
in the pipeline.

532
00:49:31,900 --> 00:49:36,600
For example, the Rousin Ellis property would be in our pipeline in terms of that calculation.

533
00:49:43,230 --> 00:49:47,610
Diling in that aperture here in the Midwest, I have the good fortune to lead our industrial

534
00:49:47,610 --> 00:49:51,190
team for the upper Midwest we cover about eight states with a priority focus on

535
00:49:51,190 --> 00:49:55,030
Chicago given its overall scale and really significant importance in the

536
00:49:55,030 --> 00:49:58,970
overall logistics within the United States of America. We currently have about

537
00:49:58,970 --> 00:49:59,970
three-quarters of a-

538
00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:07,600
$1 billion of active industrial projects under construction in the Midwest and have completed about $600 million over the last four or five years.

539
00:50:10,710 --> 00:50:31,870
Again, maybe dialing into what's most important to the folks in this room. These are the groups that we do business with on a day and a day out basis. Every logo that you see on this page, we have built buildings for, we have done that, where we are the owner, we have done that, where we are the fee developer for them. They represent thousands of jobs across our various markets that we do business in.

540
00:50:31,870 --> 00:50:31,930
And

541
00:50:34,360 --> 00:50:40,480
perhaps bringing some of that to a more relevant representation that will be meaningful to this group.

542
00:50:40,960 --> 00:50:47,320
We've had the great fortune to be in business with the city of decalbed for nearly 15 years now.

543
00:50:47,820 --> 00:50:53,220
Chicago West Business Center is out at I-88 in peace for those of you who have made me not been out west that way in a while.

544
00:50:54,200 --> 00:50:56,300
This started in 2012.

545
00:50:57,060 --> 00:50:59,820
We've currently developed about 1,000 acres out there.

546
00:51:00,700 --> 00:51:05,700
It took us, I think, five years to stick our first shovel on the ground.

547
00:51:06,420 --> 00:51:09,700
When we started that process, we had exactly zero tenants.

548
00:51:11,020 --> 00:51:18,840
And up and until we had a site that was ready for development, we had really zero significantly

549
00:51:18,840 --> 00:51:20,140
interested tenants.

550
00:51:20,820 --> 00:51:24,000
There's a saying in my business, no land, no deal.

551
00:51:24,000 --> 00:51:29,460
So, we've been working on this site that we're before you tonight to consider for two

552
00:51:29,460 --> 00:51:30,120
and a half years.

553
00:51:31,040 --> 00:51:37,060
There is nary attendants in the world that has the ability to plan their distribution

554
00:51:37,060 --> 00:51:39,900
facilities for plus years out.

555
00:51:41,220 --> 00:51:45,660
You might be surprised even the most sophisticated in the firms in the country will come to us

556
00:51:45,660 --> 00:51:49,240
and say, we're out of time we need to be in in six months.

557
00:51:50,360 --> 00:51:56,620
To it, we've recently broke ground on a building as many of you know, and actually you'll be seeing some really significant progress next week.

558
00:51:56,620 --> 00:52:00,100
We're going to start lifting our crane panels up for the exterior of that building.

559
00:52:00,440 --> 00:52:08,900
We broke ground, I believe it was, if I recall correctly, like October 15th, October 22nd, we have three proposals out of that building already.

560
00:52:09,860 --> 00:52:15,440
There is significant interest in industrial space in the village of Plainfield.

561
00:52:15,440 --> 00:52:20,920
I can assure you and I feel confident that our firm maybe more than anybody is

562
00:52:21,660 --> 00:52:26,460
placing a big bet on the demand that exists for them. But the reality is we

563
00:52:26,460 --> 00:52:30,380
simply cannot be successful if we don't have land that we can go out and

564
00:52:30,380 --> 00:52:34,720
confidently propose to these end users. Again, I'll draw you to the screen in

565
00:52:34,720 --> 00:52:38,320
front of you. What you're looking at represents about two billion dollars of

566
00:52:38,320 --> 00:52:44,820
investment since 2018. It would not have happened if we did not have that land

567
00:52:44,820 --> 00:52:49,780
approved for development and on top of that we had a phenomenal relationship with the city of decal

568
00:52:49,780 --> 00:52:54,720
Bill Nicholas. I'll call out specifically as the city manager. He's been an absolute champion of

569
00:52:54,720 --> 00:53:00,220
Tramble Crow and our partners at Krizynski Construction. I'll also give a shout out to the decal

570
00:53:00,220 --> 00:53:04,940
county EDC that went and put some significant incentives in place. We're not seeking that in this

571
00:53:04,940 --> 00:53:10,540
location but they went out and proactively put that together and made this vision come to reality

572
00:53:10,540 --> 00:53:15,200
alongside Tramble Crow. We consider them our partners. As I mentioned, we've been here since

573
00:53:15,200 --> 00:53:21,860
2012 in the city of Decalve. We are very fortunate as Tramble Crow company to have access to a

574
00:53:21,860 --> 00:53:27,240
tremendous depth of capital. The only way these well thought out master plan industrial communities

575
00:53:27,240 --> 00:53:35,980
come to a reality is to have large developers with significant capital resources put up the risk

576
00:53:35,980 --> 00:53:41,840
capital, as we call it, to get the, to de-risk the opportunity, to create the opportunity

577
00:53:41,840 --> 00:53:42,780
for the ultimate user.

578
00:53:43,340 --> 00:53:47,760
For our candy would not have considered this facility if we didn't have that land zone

579
00:53:47,760 --> 00:53:48,220
and approved.

580
00:53:49,060 --> 00:53:54,640
Amazon, which is the BTS on this site plan that you're looking at, this is actually an

581
00:53:54,640 --> 00:53:58,060
old site plan, so I apologize, would not have considered this location.

582
00:53:58,720 --> 00:54:02,740
They have a billion dollar facility that we're currently under construction for with Kraft

583
00:54:02,740 --> 00:54:07,960
have time food corporation absolutely would not have considered this if we had not progressed

584
00:54:07,960 --> 00:54:08,960
this improvement.

585
00:54:09,640 --> 00:54:12,840
We also have a billion dollar Facebook met a data center campus.

586
00:54:13,340 --> 00:54:18,040
What you're not seeing on here is that 900 acres of additional land we are currently working

587
00:54:18,040 --> 00:54:22,160
through and getting zone and approved to the south and to the west of this.

588
00:54:23,040 --> 00:54:28,120
These take tremendous amounts of time and tremendous amounts of capital to it.

589
00:54:28,680 --> 00:54:32,080
I'll stand up here and say it because I have to answer this question on a weekly basis.

590
00:54:32,660 --> 00:54:36,900
We're almost $1 million into this and we still obviously don't know what the outcome is.

591
00:54:37,140 --> 00:54:37,880
That's our problem.

592
00:54:38,000 --> 00:54:39,820
We're not asking for any sympathy for that.

593
00:54:40,480 --> 00:54:44,700
But the opportunities developed several hundred acres at once.

594
00:54:45,320 --> 00:54:51,180
Does not happen without a thoughtful engagement with obviously the village in this instance,

595
00:54:51,380 --> 00:54:57,280
as well as a investor and developer that will work through the process in a thoughtful and

596
00:54:57,280 --> 00:54:59,980
meaningful way, and then be there. We've been in the car.

597
00:55:01,420 --> 00:55:18,100
I have another example in KC, I don't have a slide, but a Kansas City logistics park which sits on the land next to KCI airport. We've been working on since 2008. We are in this for the long haul, and we want to be community partners with the Village of Plainfield, just like we are the City of the Cal.

598
00:55:21,100 --> 00:55:30,480
And we can talk about that a little bit in this instance. Mr. Prue mentioned we submitted our initial application for what's being considered tonight in April of 2024. That's accurate.

599
00:55:31,380 --> 00:55:35,740
We submitted a previous application, though, in the spring of 2023.

600
00:55:38,620 --> 00:55:42,220
Unfortunately, our industry competitor, C-Free, were not able to move forward on their

601
00:55:42,220 --> 00:55:45,240
project directly to our north on what's known as the Stuart farmland.

602
00:55:46,240 --> 00:55:51,200
We saw this as an opportunity, so we paused our pursuit, which was not an easy decision

603
00:55:51,200 --> 00:55:54,720
for us, given the amount of money and time that we had invested into the Rusyn Ellis land.

604
00:55:55,460 --> 00:55:57,500
However, it did a lot of critical things.

605
00:55:58,440 --> 00:56:03,020
We already had DSV waiting to see if they could get into the community of plant field.

606
00:56:04,080 --> 00:56:09,640
We didn't, I shouldn't say we couldn't confidently tell them when we were going to be approved,

607
00:56:10,060 --> 00:56:12,860
but we knew we could solve it on the land to the north because it was already approved.

608
00:56:13,560 --> 00:56:16,700
That allowed us to put that transaction together in 90 days.

609
00:56:17,460 --> 00:56:20,440
That only happens because the land is zoned and ready to go.

610
00:56:21,160 --> 00:56:24,420
We've also broken ground, as I mentioned on the speculative project directly on the north

611
00:56:24,420 --> 00:56:24,720
side.

612
00:56:24,720 --> 00:56:31,540
that represents about an $80 million investment just on the building, probably another 25 to 50 percent of that

613
00:56:31,540 --> 00:56:36,500
total will be invested inside that building with racking material, handling equipment, office build-out, etc.

614
00:56:38,640 --> 00:56:42,980
The number of jobs that go along with that could vary widely, depending on what goes in there and what user.

615
00:56:45,260 --> 00:56:49,920
There is no one in this room that would like to know every single user we're going to put in these buildings more than me.

616
00:56:50,300 --> 00:56:52,700
My job would be so much easier.

617
00:56:52,700 --> 00:56:57,240
We have to go out and convince our investors and our debt partners that we

618
00:56:57,240 --> 00:57:00,320
understand the marketplace and we understand the demand drivers that are out

619
00:57:00,320 --> 00:57:05,020
there. We take a tremendous amount of risk when we don't have a tenant. But

620
00:57:05,020 --> 00:57:13,140
again, no land, no deal, no building, no tenant. Good parks have a combination of

621
00:57:13,140 --> 00:57:19,160
both speculative projects and build a suits. And to that end, if we are

622
00:57:19,160 --> 00:57:24,100
fortunate enough to get approved. We currently have three different users, all of which are names that

623
00:57:24,100 --> 00:57:29,280
this group would recognize that have suggested they are interested, but they will not let us

624
00:57:29,280 --> 00:57:35,680
submit a formal proposal until they know we have the ability to do so. So I assure you that the demand

625
00:57:35,680 --> 00:57:38,420
exists in the marketplace for this to be here.

626
00:57:41,990 --> 00:57:45,110
I won't belabor the site plan that's here in front of

627
00:57:45,110 --> 00:57:48,770
you just because I think Mr. Prude did such a great job of talking about it. I know it's been in your

628
00:57:48,770 --> 00:57:54,830
board packets and I know my colleagues and partners at Kim Lee Horn and Mr. Rosenova will

629
00:57:54,830 --> 00:57:56,090
go through and great detail what's here.

630
00:57:56,570 --> 00:58:00,550
We think this represents a good illustration of what will likely end up here but obviously

631
00:58:00,550 --> 00:58:02,870
as I've mentioned the marketplace will help us determine that.

632
00:58:03,390 --> 00:58:08,510
We do have one group that would actually potentially take two thirds of this land.

633
00:58:09,270 --> 00:58:11,950
Will we land to that tenant or that occupier?

634
00:58:12,130 --> 00:58:16,730
We don't know yet but we don't yet have the tools to find out if the answer is yes or no

635
00:58:16,730 --> 00:58:18,450
and we're hopeful to achieve that with this group.

636
00:58:19,950 --> 00:58:23,550
A couple of important things on the site plan though that maybe Mr. Poo didn't touch on.

637
00:58:24,250 --> 00:58:28,570
We've been working with the fire district now for several months, and as part of our

638
00:58:28,570 --> 00:58:33,190
developer contributions, we would actually like to provide the land, padwriting for their

639
00:58:33,190 --> 00:58:35,250
development within the park.

640
00:58:35,770 --> 00:58:40,450
Not only does this provide a clear and measurable benefit to the community here in Plainfield, but

641
00:58:40,450 --> 00:58:42,730
frankly, it provides a clear and measurable benefit to us.

642
00:58:42,730 --> 00:58:48,210
This allows us to confidently tell our tenants that we have one of the best fire production

643
00:58:48,210 --> 00:58:49,630
districts at their doorstep.

644
00:58:50,110 --> 00:58:52,050
Many, many users find this very important.

645
00:58:52,870 --> 00:58:57,570
You may not realize this, but different product that goes into these buildings has different

646
00:58:57,570 --> 00:59:00,730
fire classifications, which requires different sprinkler systems.

647
00:59:01,030 --> 00:59:03,610
It allows them to stack to a certain height or not to a certain height.

648
00:59:04,130 --> 00:59:08,710
Having that adjacency of a potential firehouse right next to that is a tremendous benefit for

649
00:59:08,710 --> 00:59:09,090
us too.

650
00:59:09,090 --> 00:59:13,790
So we are absolutely aligned and how much this could mean for not only playing field business center

651
00:59:13,790 --> 00:59:18,690
But the village of playing field and we're actually thrilled that we're able to potentially have this be part of our development

652
00:59:21,240 --> 00:59:26,440
Maybe most importantly what we were able to accomplish by pivoting in the fall of 2024

653
00:59:27,180 --> 00:59:28,840
I'm sorry the fall of 2023

654
00:59:30,280 --> 00:59:34,860
Was to acquire the 200 acres to our north that was owned by the Stuart farms

655
00:59:35,680 --> 00:59:38,780
That allowed us to create something that no one else could do

656
00:59:38,780 --> 00:59:46,760
The previous entitlement actually restricted access off of this site, so you would not have been able to access it to the Rousson Ellis Farmland, but there are 340 acres.

657
00:59:47,160 --> 00:59:50,400
It would have to bend from other roadways, either Stein or 126.

658
00:59:51,780 --> 00:59:59,980
We came in, we put the DSV deal together, and we have a permanent easement now that we've put in place for our benefit as well as anyone else that would ever own this land besides...

659
01:00:00,920 --> 01:00:29,980
The utilities in the roadway now are granted in perpetuity to provide access to this site. That allows us to take all truck traffic and remove it from Steiner. Does it allow us to remove truck traffic from the entire community, of course not? Just like houses, there's no way to eliminate the car traffic that's associated with those. I'll be the first to admit. My father was a truck driver, so maybe I have a softer spot. My heart for trucks. Mother was a hairstylist. I didn't get the hair gene, but there is a lot of really good statistics.

660
01:00:29,980 --> 01:00:32,740
around the jobs that we put into the facilities.

661
01:00:33,360 --> 01:00:35,680
And believe it or not, there's actually a lot of supporting evidence

662
01:00:35,680 --> 01:00:42,320
as to the less impactful traffic impacts that truck traffic has

663
01:00:42,320 --> 01:00:45,580
versus residential development, which Roy will touch on in her presentation.

664
01:00:46,380 --> 01:00:49,520
But I think it is important to note that this allows us to have

665
01:00:50,640 --> 01:00:54,960
essentially a 550-acre, fully coordinated development plan

666
01:00:54,960 --> 01:00:57,760
that will be universal in its architectural theme,

667
01:00:57,760 --> 01:01:01,740
or I should say complementary, I know my architect would correct me if I said universal because

668
01:01:01,740 --> 01:01:06,120
that's not good architecture. It allows us to master plan all the engineering, utilities,

669
01:01:06,880 --> 01:01:11,980
access points, roadway connections. That can only be done with a thoughtful and advanced

670
01:01:11,980 --> 01:01:17,860
comprehensive plan and that can only be done certainly with other folks than Tramble Crull Company,

671
01:01:18,060 --> 01:01:22,320
but we think Tramble Crull Company does it the best, I'm partial, but it requires a significant

672
01:01:22,320 --> 01:01:27,400
upfront investment. So we really hope that there will be strong consideration for what we're trying

673
01:01:27,400 --> 01:01:33,500
to do and hopefully our malleability and openness to work with and incorporate the priorities

674
01:01:33,500 --> 01:01:35,420
that have been shared with us that we're able to.

675
01:01:37,760 --> 01:01:38,000
Thank you.

676
01:01:43,200 --> 01:01:43,720
Good evening.

677
01:01:43,960 --> 01:01:46,120
My name is Rory Fienzler-Split with Kim Lee Horn.

678
01:01:46,780 --> 01:01:51,240
I'm going to walk through high level a couple of key elements of the traffic impact study

679
01:01:51,240 --> 01:01:53,240
that was prepared for the proposed development.

680
01:01:53,900 --> 01:01:58,280
The traffic impact study was prepared, pursuant to IDOT and village standards.

681
01:01:58,280 --> 01:02:04,660
I want to quickly touch on some of the comments that were made earlier.

682
01:02:05,180 --> 01:02:07,660
The traffic study does take a step back.

683
01:02:08,060 --> 01:02:11,080
It looks at year 2034 traffic projections.

684
01:02:11,340 --> 01:02:16,140
It evaluates existing conditions as well as future year 2034 traffic projections.

685
01:02:16,820 --> 01:02:23,740
The 2034 traffic projections were developed using an ambient compounded growth rate of 1.5%

686
01:02:23,740 --> 01:02:31,660
per se map as well as traffic estimated for development that is planned or approved in the area.

687
01:02:32,780 --> 01:02:43,180
So that includes buildings and units that may not be constructed yet, that may not be occupied,

688
01:02:43,180 --> 01:02:51,200
but that we expect to be online by 2034, that traffic is contemplated in the traffic impact study.

689
01:02:52,060 --> 01:03:00,140
And based on the analysis, we identified a number of improvements to the area roadway network, which are highlighted on the screen before you.

690
01:03:01,720 --> 01:03:08,400
As was mentioned earlier, county line road would be connected to 143rd Street, just touched on that.

691
01:03:09,420 --> 01:03:16,900
Again, all trucks would be, all site generated trucks would be directed to the 143rd Street access point under phase one.

692
01:03:16,900 --> 01:03:25,400
In addition, to facilitate car access to the southbound right turn lane would be installed on Steiner road at the north driveway.

693
01:03:26,060 --> 01:03:38,280
At both the north and south driveways on Steiner road, the existing pavement would be restriped to provide a northbound left turn lane to facilitate inbound left turn movements for cars accessing the site.

694
01:03:39,040 --> 01:03:46,020
Similarly, the existing pavement on Steiner would be restriped to provide for southbound left turn lanes to green briar.

695
01:03:46,020 --> 01:03:54,460
Under phase two, the existing intersection of route 126 in county line road would be improved.

696
01:03:54,900 --> 01:04:05,860
That would include modifications to the south leg of the intersection to provide through movements north, again providing connectivity to 143rd.

697
01:04:06,300 --> 01:04:14,300
This also includes extension of existing storage lane on the westbound left turn movement, installation of an eastbound left turn lane,

698
01:04:14,300 --> 01:04:28,020
and traffic signal modifications for phase 2, the intersection of Route 126 and county line road would facilitate site-generated truck traffic for trucks approaching the site from the south and the west.

699
01:04:28,640 --> 01:04:34,420
Again, trucks would also have the option to use the 143rd Street West Extension access.

700
01:04:35,780 --> 01:04:43,260
The traffic impact study also contemplates the infrastructure plan defined by the village in Kendall County.

701
01:04:43,260 --> 01:04:55,360
This includes the recently completed 143rd Street West Extension and associated signal and geometric improvements at Ridge Road.

702
01:04:55,360 --> 01:04:59,960
The traffic study is also consistent with the village plans as with the...

703
01:05:00,000 --> 01:05:29,780
As mentioned earlier for the swap or jurisdictional transfer of 143rd Street to Idot, to establish a designated class to truck route to interstate 55, and then 126 from Ridge Road east through downtown will be jurisdictionally transferred to the village from Idot. This is consistent with the village's long term vision to establish 143rd Street as a truck route and Lockport Street through downtown would provide access for local

704
01:05:29,780 --> 01:05:30,600
traffic only.

705
01:05:31,640 --> 01:05:37,620
With the jurisdictional traffic and established designated truck route along 143rd Street trucks

706
01:05:37,620 --> 01:05:41,960
would no longer travel through downtown, site generated truck traffic would not travel

707
01:05:41,960 --> 01:05:42,580
through downtown.

708
01:05:43,700 --> 01:05:48,080
The traffic impacts study also contemplates the plan traffic signal at the intersection

709
01:05:48,080 --> 01:05:54,080
of 143rd in Steiner Road as well as Kendall County's plans to widen Ridge Road to a four-lane

710
01:05:54,080 --> 01:05:58,660
cross section which is included in the Long Range Transportation Plan as well as the

711
01:05:58,660 --> 01:06:01,080
county's five-year surface transportation program.

712
01:06:04,260 --> 01:06:06,400
Again, just to emphasize this point,

713
01:06:06,800 --> 01:06:08,540
the truck routing under phase one

714
01:06:08,540 --> 01:06:10,840
would direct all site-generated trucks

715
01:06:10,840 --> 01:06:14,300
to the 143rd Street West Extension only.

716
01:06:14,800 --> 01:06:18,320
This provides truck access to I-55 via the

717
01:06:19,240 --> 01:06:22,440
140th Third Street East Extension, which is underway,

718
01:06:23,020 --> 01:06:25,740
and access to I-80 via Ridge Road.

719
01:06:26,320 --> 01:06:29,440
Site-generated trucks will not be permitted on Steiner Road

720
01:06:29,440 --> 01:06:34,780
and the driveways will be designed to limit truck churning movements in addition to education and enforcement.

721
01:06:36,580 --> 01:06:53,500
Under phase two, the same applies to 143rd Street West Extension that will continue to facilitate truck traffic to and from the site in addition at the south access at the intersection of Route 126 Lockport County Line Road.

722
01:06:54,460 --> 01:07:00,280
trucks would be directed to and from the west to Ridge Road. There would be signage

723
01:07:00,280 --> 01:07:07,000
posted, no trucks, no left turn, and then trucks traveling to and from I-80 would use Ridge

724
01:07:07,000 --> 01:07:13,920
Road and Lockport Street, west of county line road only as well as 143rd Street, trucks

725
01:07:13,920 --> 01:07:21,000
traveling to and from I-55 would use 143rd Street. Again, this is consistent with the village's

726
01:07:21,000 --> 01:07:26,720
long-term vision to establish a 143rd Street and remove truck traffic through downtown.

727
01:07:27,860 --> 01:07:33,240
The traffic study, in addition to evaluating intersections, the traffic study also evaluated

728
01:07:33,240 --> 01:07:39,720
roadway segments using again the 2034 traffic projections based on this analysis.

729
01:07:40,280 --> 01:07:44,700
All roadway segments in the vicinity of the site would have access capacity to support

730
01:07:44,700 --> 01:07:48,960
the site-generated traffic as well as planned and approved development in the area.

731
01:07:48,960 --> 01:07:54,740
One exception was noted on Ridge Road South of 126.

732
01:07:55,280 --> 01:08:01,560
However, this is based on the existing geometry with the planned foreland cross-section improvement

733
01:08:02,420 --> 01:08:04,200
programmed by Kendall County.

734
01:08:04,600 --> 01:08:08,840
There would be excess capacity to support your 2034 traffic projections.

735
01:08:12,360 --> 01:08:18,080
A supplemental analysis was prepared outside the traffic impact study to compare site-generated

736
01:08:18,080 --> 01:08:24,480
traffic to that of a residential development, this was mentioned by Josh a few minutes ago.

737
01:08:25,120 --> 01:08:30,140
For purposes of this comparison, we assumed three units, three single family units per

738
01:08:30,140 --> 01:08:33,200
acre, which results in just over a thousand units.

739
01:08:34,000 --> 01:08:39,420
As shown, residential trip generation is about 54% higher in the morning peak hour and

740
01:08:39,420 --> 01:08:44,080
78% higher in the evening peak hour as compared to the proposed development.

741
01:08:44,080 --> 01:08:50,660
it. Therefore, a residential development would increase delay and cues of the study intersections

742
01:08:50,660 --> 01:08:52,960
as compared to the proposed development.

743
01:08:55,600 --> 01:08:57,760
And with that, let's turn it over to Vince.

744
01:09:01,520 --> 01:09:06,480
Just to wrap up our overview, I'd just like to hit upon some of the significant economic

745
01:09:06,480 --> 01:09:11,560
benefits that this project brings not only to the village but also to Will County as well

746
01:09:11,560 --> 01:09:16,720
as our intergovernmental partners. Question came up, we heard from one of the speakers this

747
01:09:16,720 --> 01:09:21,240
is what is the financial benefit associated with this project.

748
01:09:21,820 --> 01:09:24,860
To put it as succinctly as I can,

749
01:09:25,160 --> 01:09:30,020
this would mark the most significant financial investment in the village in its history.

750
01:09:30,520 --> 01:09:31,780
As part of our submittal,

751
01:09:31,980 --> 01:09:34,580
we had the economist firm of Groen and Groen and Associates,

752
01:09:34,580 --> 01:09:37,480
a very well-respected Chicago-based firm,

753
01:09:37,660 --> 01:09:41,220
prepare a extensive fiscal impact study,

754
01:09:41,440 --> 01:09:42,900
which was submitted to the village,

755
01:09:42,900 --> 01:09:47,160
to disclose those financial benefits to the village as well as Will County.

756
01:09:47,760 --> 01:09:53,500
Some of the key highlights include that permanent jobs upon stabilization, completion of this

757
01:09:53,500 --> 01:09:58,760
development, there's anticipated to be 3,600 jobs approximately.

758
01:09:58,760 --> 01:09:59,480
50

759
01:10:00,000 --> 01:10:29,980
47% of this employment is expected to occur in the plain field community. Why this is important? I know I said it at the last meeting, but I'm going to say it again, because it's very important. Is data coming out of Will County tells us that 72% of village residents have to leave not only the village, but also have to leave the county for employment more times than not Cook County. That's evident of the fact that although there's beautiful residential homes throughout the village, there's just not enough industrial enough commercial

760
01:10:29,980 --> 01:10:31,420
and there's not enough jobs.

761
01:10:31,960 --> 01:10:34,180
Developments like this help to move the needle.

762
01:10:34,900 --> 01:10:38,220
So those 3,600 jobs, those speak to permanent jobs.

763
01:10:38,560 --> 01:10:40,500
Throughout the pendency of development,

764
01:10:40,660 --> 01:10:43,060
which is anticipated to be five to 10 years,

765
01:10:43,480 --> 01:10:45,420
there'll be considerable construction jobs

766
01:10:45,420 --> 01:10:47,500
throughout all levels of the trades.

767
01:10:48,200 --> 01:10:51,120
Lasting up to 10 years from excavation utilities

768
01:10:51,480 --> 01:10:55,100
all the way up to the ultimately the finish work.

769
01:10:55,740 --> 01:10:58,060
In addition to the massive job creation,

770
01:10:58,060 --> 01:11:01,160
There's other substantial revenues that will be generated.

771
01:11:01,720 --> 01:11:06,960
John alluded to the one-time contribution that Tramwell Crow was making voluntarily to

772
01:11:06,960 --> 01:11:12,660
the tune of $6.4 million, which could be allocated to achieve strategic objectives

773
01:11:12,660 --> 01:11:18,320
of this board, pursuant to the potential guidelines in the annexation agreement.

774
01:11:18,940 --> 01:11:23,700
There will also be increased local spending, that's oftentimes hard to quantify, but that's

775
01:11:23,700 --> 01:11:29,600
very real. For instance, 3,600 folks working in the community on a daily basis, they're visiting

776
01:11:29,600 --> 01:11:34,120
the downtown merchants, they're shopping along 59, they're buying cars here locally, they're

777
01:11:34,120 --> 01:11:39,100
supporting all businesses in the playing field community. Equally important is when you spend

778
01:11:39,100 --> 01:11:43,900
dollars in the playing field community that comes back to the community as part of the state retailers'

779
01:11:44,120 --> 01:11:49,620
occupation tax. So certainly those additional dollars from sales tax will be realized through

780
01:11:49,620 --> 01:11:55,200
local spending. The village also has a utility tax ordinance. It applies to electric

781
01:11:55,200 --> 01:11:59,980
rates as well as gas rates. Ultimately those will come back as additional revenues

782
01:11:59,980 --> 01:12:07,320
to the village substantial. Those utility taxes coupled with the annual reoccurring property

783
01:12:07,320 --> 01:12:13,680
taxes is estimated to generate over $500,000 to the village alone just with the three utility

784
01:12:13,680 --> 01:12:16,620
tax, gas, tax, real estate property tax.

785
01:12:17,000 --> 01:12:22,280
But perhaps most importantly, this development continues to achieve the village's strategic

786
01:12:22,280 --> 01:12:27,980
objective of taking the tax burden off of the residents of the village and placing that

787
01:12:27,980 --> 01:12:32,220
more by incubating industry and commercial within the community.

788
01:12:32,760 --> 01:12:36,700
I've always been told in the world of economic development, I mean, municipalities should

789
01:12:36,700 --> 01:12:43,660
look to develop with no more than 70% residential, with 30% or more if you could get it in the

790
01:12:43,660 --> 01:12:46,220
commercial industry bracket.

791
01:12:46,600 --> 01:12:51,600
I believe that Plainfield as a result of being an absolutely wonderful place to live has

792
01:12:51,600 --> 01:12:59,560
developed with 85% residential and very little commercial industrial about 15% that lowers

793
01:12:59,560 --> 01:13:05,180
the EAV and puts the corresponding tax burden on the residents and not industry and commercial

794
01:13:05,180 --> 01:13:06,320
where it should be.

795
01:13:06,920 --> 01:13:10,260
Ultimately this concept hasn't been missed by anybody.

796
01:13:10,260 --> 01:13:16,280
The comprehensive plan consultant wrote this numerous times in the comprehensive plan,

797
01:13:16,660 --> 01:13:22,420
language to the effect that the village should seek to identify areas as industrial and

798
01:13:22,420 --> 01:13:28,060
commercial, so that they can create more of a healthy mix of the underlying equalized assess

799
01:13:28,060 --> 01:13:33,660
value to release that burden, reduce that burden on the residents of the village, and prevent

800
01:13:33,660 --> 01:13:37,620
against rising tax bills, rising tax rates.

801
01:13:37,900 --> 01:13:41,720
Certainly developments like this continue to move that needle.

802
01:13:41,980 --> 01:13:44,120
And I know I showed this exhibit at our last meeting,

803
01:13:44,500 --> 01:13:47,880
I'll show it again because I do feel that this is very important.

804
01:13:48,040 --> 01:13:53,560
So here I'm just taking, as an example, a $500,000 house in Plainfield School District,

805
01:13:53,940 --> 01:13:59,420
202 versus a $500,000 house in Naperville School District, 203.

806
01:13:59,620 --> 01:14:01,560
So very much apples to apples.

807
01:14:01,560 --> 01:14:11,840
School District 203 in Naperville has about a 30-35% tax base of commercial as well as industrial, so as a result they have a higher EAV.

808
01:14:12,240 --> 01:14:27,660
The corresponding effect is they have a reduced tax rate, whereas Plainfield School District 202 has more residential, 85% less commercial and industrial that combine tax rate for all districts approaches 7.8.

809
01:14:27,660 --> 01:14:42,260
So ultimately what happens is on a year-in-year out basis, the Plainfield resident in District 202 could expect to pay 20% more in taxes annually on apples to apples, $500,000 house, which is real dollars.

810
01:14:42,520 --> 01:14:55,620
It's over $2,000 a year that that person, that family has to pay for the same house, they can get an adjacent jurisdiction within a different school district with a higher percentage of commercial and industrial tax base.

811
01:14:55,620 --> 01:14:59,700
with regard to the overall text generation.

812
01:15:00,020 --> 01:15:29,940
Right now, the property is agricultural. It's subject to an agricultural exemption. It's under performing. It contributes very little to the surrounding area, despite the comprehensive plan designating it as an appropriate area for industrial. But if we look at what grew and grew and anticipates the full tax bill will be upon stabilization $6 million. It's John pointed out over a 10-year period that's $60 million. That's more than real dollars. So the first line

813
01:15:29,940 --> 01:15:33,580
is perhaps the most important school district 202.

814
01:15:33,760 --> 01:15:37,220
They're gonna realize on an annual basis $3.8 million.

815
01:15:37,820 --> 01:15:39,640
I would venture to say that that would be

816
01:15:39,640 --> 01:15:41,800
the biggest uptick school district 202

817
01:15:41,800 --> 01:15:45,240
has ever seen in real estate tax game in their history.

818
01:15:45,740 --> 01:15:48,760
Not to mention when they do typically see increases

819
01:15:48,760 --> 01:15:52,440
in their tax generation, it comes with offsetting students

820
01:15:52,440 --> 01:15:53,700
because more times than not,

821
01:15:54,040 --> 01:15:56,140
it's a large scale residential development.

822
01:15:56,140 --> 01:16:00,220
Plainfield Fire Protection District, 682,000 a year,

823
01:16:00,680 --> 01:16:03,520
Wheel County, 415,000,

824
01:16:03,880 --> 01:16:06,060
Village of Plainfield, Justin Textes alone,

825
01:16:06,940 --> 01:16:11,180
345,000, not even including all the other benefits.

826
01:16:11,700 --> 01:16:15,140
Community College District 525, 212,000,

827
01:16:15,460 --> 01:16:17,880
Plainfield Park District, 183,000.

828
01:16:18,300 --> 01:16:20,500
Once again, without the population generation

829
01:16:20,500 --> 01:16:22,800
or the burden library district,

830
01:16:23,720 --> 01:16:28,000
$133,000 right down the line to a grand total of $6 million,

831
01:16:28,520 --> 01:16:31,420
which is in stark contrast to what exists today.

832
01:16:32,120 --> 01:16:36,600
So right now with the 340 acres with the agricultural exemption,

833
01:16:36,980 --> 01:16:41,260
a total of $26,000 is generated from this property.

834
01:16:41,460 --> 01:16:46,140
So I wish I was up here talking of delta between $5,000 or $5,000,000

835
01:16:46,140 --> 01:16:47,280
and $6,000,000.

836
01:16:47,340 --> 01:16:48,420
And it was $1,000,000 delta.

837
01:16:48,560 --> 01:16:51,320
I'm talking about a delta of almost $6 million here

838
01:16:51,320 --> 01:16:54,680
that this property could be realized in consistency

839
01:16:54,680 --> 01:16:58,300
with the village's objective to diversify the tax base.

840
01:16:58,540 --> 01:17:00,580
This hits that nail right on the head.

841
01:17:01,180 --> 01:17:02,500
So I'm not going to believe at this point,

842
01:17:02,580 --> 01:17:04,020
I thought John did a really nice job.

843
01:17:04,480 --> 01:17:07,080
This is the one time financial contribution

844
01:17:07,080 --> 01:17:11,480
to $6.4 million to be allocated any way

845
01:17:11,480 --> 01:17:13,040
the village trustees see fit

846
01:17:13,040 --> 01:17:15,360
to meet those strategic objectives

847
01:17:15,360 --> 01:17:17,500
in excess of what the prior developers

848
01:17:18,120 --> 01:17:20,660
that have come along have been willing to do.

849
01:17:20,660 --> 01:17:25,880
and also just in closing I'd like to thank each of you trustees and the mayor for your time and

850
01:17:25,880 --> 01:17:31,420
consideration. I know we've been up here for extended periods of time so we appreciate you for

851
01:17:31,420 --> 01:17:36,420
your consideration and your patience and we also appreciate all the support we've realized throughout

852
01:17:36,420 --> 01:17:42,500
the community from the park district school district fire district township library district right

853
01:17:42,500 --> 01:17:48,860
down the line amongst many many others so we're available for questions and thank you for your time.

854
01:17:48,860 --> 01:18:00,760
Thank you. I think it's certainly, you know, it's been said before by all the members of this board that your presentation has been so thorough and to have professional reports on traffic, professional reports on tax generation.

855
01:18:01,420 --> 01:18:13,980
These are important things for us to consider that these are government organizations and businesses that you've employed that are professionals in giving us this data so we can make a good decision for Plainfield.

856
01:18:13,980 --> 01:18:16,620
So thank you for presenting all of that to us.

857
01:18:16,980 --> 01:18:19,460
I know that this is a public hearing.

858
01:18:19,880 --> 01:18:22,640
So if there's anybody from the public who hasn't spoke,

859
01:18:22,840 --> 01:18:25,620
who still wants to speak on this matter, on this matter,

860
01:18:25,840 --> 01:18:27,580
not the generalized public hearing we had earlier,

861
01:18:27,740 --> 01:18:29,620
but anybody from the public want to step up,

862
01:18:29,700 --> 01:18:30,600
this is your opportunity.

863
01:18:33,180 --> 01:18:35,300
Please step to the podium and speak in the microphone.

864
01:18:35,980 --> 01:18:36,500
Thank you.

865
01:18:36,760 --> 01:18:43,030
Was the traffic study done from end to end?

866
01:18:43,650 --> 01:18:46,350
And I don't know what you call it, 12643.

867
01:18:46,350 --> 01:18:50,590
third was it done from I-55 all the way to the warehouses?

868
01:18:58,890 --> 01:19:04,570
The traffic impact study evaluated eight intersections in close proximity to the site.

869
01:19:04,570 --> 01:19:09,230
It does not evaluate intersections immediately adjacent to I-55.

870
01:19:09,890 --> 01:19:15,350
The concept of our traffic study is to evaluate the intersections closest to the site because

871
01:19:15,350 --> 01:19:18,230
those are the intersections that are most impacted.

872
01:19:18,230 --> 01:19:25,130
as the traffic is, uh, travels throughout the roadway network, it's dispersed, and so

873
01:19:25,810 --> 01:19:30,210
intersections that are more than a mile, half mile away, generally are less

874
01:19:30,210 --> 01:19:34,170
impacted than those in the immediate vicinity. This is consistent with Ida and

875
01:19:34,170 --> 01:19:40,450
village practices. Specifically, and I made, maybe I've read it wrong, but Route 59 and 143rd Street,

876
01:19:40,450 --> 01:19:45,730
that was included. That was included. Okay. And there's no road east of there at this point. Yeah, I'm sorry, I missed it.

877
01:19:45,730 --> 01:19:58,210
Yeah, we did not evaluate the future east extension. So it went east to the existing route 59 143rd Street intersection correct. So it circled around it ended at 59 and went around to the

878
01:20:04,200 --> 01:20:12,240
I just want to say I highly disagree that it would not impact any neighborhoods where people

879
01:20:12,240 --> 01:20:18,680
are trying to get out onto the road. I already have a difficult time getting out of my subdivision

880
01:20:18,680 --> 01:20:26,140
on to 126. I can't in the morning. I can't get back in and leaving or out in the evening

881
01:20:28,380 --> 01:20:30,060
Okay, is there any other public comment?

882
01:20:30,100 --> 01:20:31,180
This is our public hearing?

883
01:20:33,780 --> 01:20:35,780
Chief, I think we can spell your name.

884
01:20:37,780 --> 01:20:39,640
Please state it for the record, though.

885
01:20:40,260 --> 01:20:44,920
Chief Pito binamo with the playing field fire district, and I'm also a resident of the village of playing field.

886
01:20:45,560 --> 01:20:53,040
So I'm here to express the fire district support for this project, not only for the what Tremel Crow contributes,

887
01:20:56,120 --> 01:20:56,120
or

888
01:20:56,120 --> 01:21:02,460
for the village, but also for the financial benefits and low impact on services to the taxing bodies.

889
01:21:03,080 --> 01:21:06,740
We too as the fire district have a vested interest in how this community develops,

890
01:21:07,300 --> 01:21:13,200
so that we can plan for our expansion of fire, EMS, and rescue services to the community as it grows.

891
01:21:13,780 --> 01:21:21,160
The fire district's main source of revenue for those that don't know to provide these services is through the collection of property taxes.

892
01:21:21,160 --> 01:21:25,460
These services are not funded or performed by the village of Plainfield.

893
01:21:25,660 --> 01:21:27,820
This is done through the Plainfield Fire Protection District.

894
01:21:28,520 --> 01:21:34,560
The fire district is questioning, though, as to what is the vision of the village board for

895
01:21:34,560 --> 01:21:40,880
future development along the 143rd Street corridor that is zoned industrial and what it's going to be?

896
01:21:41,440 --> 01:21:50,160
The area in which this development is requesting for annexation and development is zoned industrial according to the comprehensive plan as that's been stated.

897
01:21:50,160 --> 01:22:00,760
According to the village as a comprehensive plan, this is a community vision involving residents, businesses, and workers in the process of crafting the community vision for Plainfield's future.

898
01:22:01,480 --> 01:22:10,760
This was done through workshops with the village officials, stakeholders including the fire district, and community members through workshops.

899
01:22:12,960 --> 01:22:21,640
And I think as a matter of fact, this was actually approved by the Village Appointing Field and actually expanded after the fact.

900
01:22:22,020 --> 01:22:28,400
So the comprehensive plan does identify this area for industrial development.

901
01:22:28,880 --> 01:22:35,820
So I've heard a lot of a comparison between residential and industrial, and I want to express this on how this relates to the fire district.

902
01:22:35,820 --> 01:22:46,160
This project is slated to generate $682,559 a year to the fire district through the building of the construction of the seven buildings.

903
01:22:46,440 --> 01:22:50,880
The projected impact fees for the fire district are over $700,000.

904
01:22:51,380 --> 01:22:58,000
If we were to try to equate that to residential development using the 2023 tax rate for the fire district,

905
01:22:58,000 --> 01:23:03,260
That would equate to about 691 residential units that would need to be constructed.

906
01:23:03,840 --> 01:23:12,860
And that's based on, I used a conservative number, $330,000 value paying approximately $988 in property taxes to the fire district.

907
01:23:13,480 --> 01:23:18,200
Again, that's going to bring 1,750 plus new residents to the community.

908
01:23:18,580 --> 01:23:26,440
And that's going to bring 1265 vehicles using the Federal Highway Administration 1.83 cars per household number.

909
01:23:26,440 --> 01:23:28,780
to the roadways within our community.

910
01:23:29,360 --> 01:23:39,400
As far as the impacts for service for the community, in 2024, the fire districts responded to 5,677 incidents within our fire district.

911
01:23:39,860 --> 01:23:44,580
Of that, 3,052 incidents were in residential occupancies.

912
01:23:45,220 --> 01:23:52,620
In addition, a 691 residential units will have a potential increase of 3% on our overall call volume.

913
01:23:52,620 --> 01:23:59,260
If I compare this to a building that is currently on a 143rd Street industrial building,

914
01:23:59,360 --> 01:24:05,100
the Diazio Warehouse, in 2024 we responded to eight incidents at that location.

915
01:24:05,780 --> 01:24:08,100
Granted, we're proposing seven buildings here.

916
01:24:08,640 --> 01:24:15,140
If we use eight as the number for each unit, that's 56 calls, which would increase our call volume,

917
01:24:15,140 --> 01:24:17,740
potentially, by less than 1%.

918
01:24:18,900 --> 01:24:25,480
The 143rd Street extension was funded in part by some of the taxing or by the taxing bodies,

919
01:24:25,840 --> 01:24:34,000
which will provide $7.5 million over 10 years to help reimburse the village for the extension of the road.

920
01:24:34,580 --> 01:24:41,660
In 2025, this year, the Fire District will write a check to the village for $91,762.50.

921
01:24:41,660 --> 01:24:47,660
And in 10 years, the total amount of $861,546.

922
01:24:48,460 --> 01:24:56,060
We agreed to funding this roadway project with the anticipation of a return on investment with future industrial growth.

923
01:24:56,540 --> 01:24:58,020
The extension would provide.

924
01:24:58,560 --> 01:24:59,900
And to see deagio-

925
01:25:00,000 --> 01:25:29,920
We will remain in town and expand their abilities to serve the community. If you see the letter that was sent to the taxing bodies by the Village Administrator Josh Blakemore, in the letter it stated that the 143rd Street West Extension was critical in securing the construction of the Diazio Warehouse and for future industrial development. If this project isn't approved, 143rd Street will still be a recognized truck route, and traffic will be eventually

926
01:25:29,920 --> 01:25:36,180
to be rerouted from 126 to 143rd Street as identified within the Plaintfield's 143rd Street

927
01:25:36,180 --> 01:25:37,020
Court or a website.

928
01:25:37,740 --> 01:25:44,420
This area, including other surrounding neighboring communities, are a prime area for industrial

929
01:25:44,420 --> 01:25:47,080
development as Vince has stated.

930
01:25:47,670 --> 01:25:53,840
If projects like this are not approved, these companies will move to neighboring communities

931
01:25:53,840 --> 01:26:01,340
and the trucks will still use a 143rd street to gain access to truck routes in the area and access I-55

932
01:26:01,340 --> 01:26:04,620
and other truck routes, and we will receive nothing for it.

933
01:26:05,820 --> 01:26:12,920
Probably the biggest benefit to this development is the future fire station that we're proposing within the development.

934
01:26:13,120 --> 01:26:18,020
With the help of Tramocrow, we truly appreciate it because as we know land within this community to try and

935
01:26:18,020 --> 01:26:21,220
develop anything is hard to do, especially for a fire station.

936
01:26:21,220 --> 01:26:29,040
So we appreciate Ramacrow working with us to provide land and potential funding for a future fire station within the development.

937
01:26:29,520 --> 01:26:33,800
This will help to reduce response times as the village continues to expand out west.

938
01:26:34,360 --> 01:26:40,260
This will increase our response capabilities, providing additional staffing and apparatus to respond to emergencies.

939
01:26:40,880 --> 01:26:51,140
And we'll help to maintain our ISO-1 rating, which is your insurance rating for fire protection, saving homeowners and businesses money in their fire insurance premium.

940
01:26:51,140 --> 01:27:03,480
I want to thank you for allowing me the opportunity to talk, I hope you guys consider this development and approve it, because there are definite benefits for the taxing bodies along with the fire district for it, so thank you.

941
01:27:03,480 --> 01:27:04,760
Mary, do you mind if I ask a quick question?

942
01:27:04,760 --> 01:27:05,620
No, go ahead, Trustee.

943
01:27:05,880 --> 01:27:09,000
I don't know, I haven't mentioned before, but I don't mean to surprise you with questions.

944
01:27:09,200 --> 01:27:09,280
That's fine.

945
01:27:09,520 --> 01:27:16,900
There's a lot of numbers being thrown around from everybody in this, and my question is, I don't know what a new fire station is going to cost.

946
01:27:17,160 --> 01:27:17,300
Okay.

947
01:27:17,480 --> 01:27:20,180
And I know you're fully dependent on taxpayer dollars.

948
01:27:21,540 --> 01:27:25,180
So, that in what is a standard ladder truck cost?

949
01:27:25,220 --> 01:27:28,700
For more of those, I know that when we expand, you're probably two or three.

950
01:27:28,760 --> 01:27:33,300
I don't know which staff your house is that, but to build a new firehouse, we need new fire equipment.

951
01:27:33,620 --> 01:27:35,920
And what's the roundabout figure?

952
01:27:36,100 --> 01:27:38,920
I mean, that's conferred direct quote and I hope your board doesn't hold you to it.

953
01:27:38,960 --> 01:27:39,660
No, no, that's fine.

954
01:27:40,020 --> 01:27:43,860
We're actually going through this now because obviously we're planning on building additional fire stations.

955
01:27:44,240 --> 01:27:46,460
We need it as our fire district grows and it's harder.

956
01:27:46,460 --> 01:27:52,740
definitely to get around this town with truck traffic and cars and just the growth in town in general.

957
01:27:53,240 --> 01:27:58,080
A little bias as well truck driver, family, family on trucking company, father was a truck driver.

958
01:27:58,320 --> 01:28:01,320
So we wouldn't get our goods and services if it wasn't for the trucks.

959
01:28:01,520 --> 01:28:08,220
But however, a fire station is about $550 a square foot to construct.

960
01:28:08,460 --> 01:28:16,200
So typically fire stations are stations now around 12,000, the satellite stations that we would create are about 10,000 square feet.

961
01:28:16,200 --> 01:28:20,780
So roughly 5.5 million for just the fire station, a fire apparatus.

962
01:28:21,040 --> 01:28:25,860
So a fire engine right now is about $1.2 million for just a fire engine.

963
01:28:26,000 --> 01:28:28,620
That's not the equipment that goes on to the fire engine.

964
01:28:29,100 --> 01:28:33,320
And ambulance is over $400,000 right now just to give you some context.

965
01:28:33,800 --> 01:28:37,860
The cardiac monitor for the ambulance alone is $50,000 for one.

966
01:28:38,040 --> 01:28:42,520
We've got five ambulances and we have ALS fire apparatus that have paramedics on it.

967
01:28:42,520 --> 01:28:45,240
so we have a cardiac monitor on each fire engine.

968
01:28:46,660 --> 01:28:49,900
SCBA, our breathing apparatus, that's $6,000.

969
01:28:50,320 --> 01:28:53,720
To outfit one fire fire, over $6,000 for our turn-out gear.

970
01:28:54,600 --> 01:28:58,920
To hire a firefighter right now, to put a new firefighter on all in right now,

971
01:28:59,220 --> 01:29:03,080
starting is probably $130,000 to $140,000 a person.

972
01:29:03,820 --> 01:29:07,240
We, minimally staff at minimum staffing right now, we're at about 20.

973
01:29:07,960 --> 01:29:11,640
Firefighters a day out of our four fire stations at full staffing, we're at 25.

974
01:29:12,900 --> 01:29:17,740
So just it's very expensive for personnel the ladder truck that we bought two

975
01:29:17,740 --> 01:29:22,100
years ago was 1.4 million dollars that same tower ladder that ladder truck

976
01:29:22,100 --> 01:29:26,140
right now is over two million dollars for that ladder truck so things are

977
01:29:26,140 --> 01:29:29,520
continuing to get more and more expensive. You have like we run into problems here

978
01:29:29,520 --> 01:29:32,900
when we buy big equipment that there's a lead time. It's sometimes a year two

979
01:29:32,900 --> 01:29:38,420
years down the road before it's even ready. I wish it was a year. I wish it was a

980
01:29:38,420 --> 01:29:43,260
year right now lead times for fire apparatus are four years and we have had an

981
01:29:43,260 --> 01:29:47,340
ambulance on order for almost three years and it will be delivered this month so

982
01:29:47,340 --> 01:29:52,340
we have a long delay for getting apparatus so as we talk about planning for

983
01:29:52,340 --> 01:29:56,880
future stations yeah it's nice to have the land but we can build the station and

984
01:29:56,880 --> 01:29:59,900
not have the people to hire because fire service is struggling

985
01:30:00,000 --> 01:30:16,400
Meeting to find people to take jobs, nowadays, and we also have apparatus that take four years to receive. So it takes a long time to plan for this. Thank you for the education. No problem. Thank you. Thank you, Chief. Any other, any other public comment? Dr. Wood. Thank you.

986
01:30:18,970 --> 01:30:30,690
Good evening. Happy New Year. My name is Glen Wood. I'm Superintendent of the Plant Fuel School District 202. I'm representing District 202 here, but also grateful we do have some representatives from the district that are here.

987
01:30:30,690 --> 01:30:38,190
Board President, Mr. Rod Westfall, Steve Jepsen, Association of Planned Fuel Teachers, Representative, Mr. Rick Instrom.

988
01:30:38,190 --> 01:30:44,590
He's our Assistant Superintendent of Business and Operations, and Mr. Elias Clances, he's one of our board members as well.

989
01:30:44,870 --> 01:30:49,990
And so you've heard a lot tonight, and so just want to maybe mention a few things and have not been brought up.

990
01:30:50,490 --> 01:30:59,370
Obviously, the letter that's posted here and shared just highlights the importance to the taxing bodies of this development that are there.

991
01:30:59,370 --> 01:31:04,330
where, you know, in Illinois, it was touched on briefly, but local villages, you know,

992
01:31:04,470 --> 01:31:07,370
you receive money through several tax revenue streams.

993
01:31:07,650 --> 01:31:14,070
You know, property taxes, sales taxes, utility, gasoline taxes, licenses, permits, there's

994
01:31:14,070 --> 01:31:18,110
items on the agenda this evening that we don't receive revenue from, but the village does.

995
01:31:18,650 --> 01:31:23,310
All our taxing bodies, we receive money through property taxes and impact fees.

996
01:31:23,830 --> 01:31:24,330
That's it.

997
01:31:24,330 --> 01:31:38,870
And so, as we had mentioned, this tax structure explains why many villages are doing exactly what you did within your comprehensive plan, which is to come up with to reduce the tax burden and have a balanced tax burden between commercial and residential.

998
01:31:38,870 --> 01:31:42,130
As you know, our tax base is primarily residential.

999
01:31:42,650 --> 01:31:46,810
It puts a significant tax burden as Mr. Rosinova had shared.

1000
01:31:47,410 --> 01:31:50,730
I will say that the slides on the taxes between 202 and

1001
01:31:50,730 --> 01:31:54,650
April, and April, 203, those taxes are not all 202.

1002
01:31:54,890 --> 01:31:56,950
That's all the taxing bodies added up.

1003
01:31:57,130 --> 01:31:58,750
So you saw that seven point or whatever.

1004
01:31:58,950 --> 01:32:00,990
That is not District 202's tax rate.

1005
01:32:01,390 --> 01:32:04,030
Our tax rate has actually gone down 12 years in a row.

1006
01:32:04,530 --> 01:32:07,330
I know your tax bill has gone up.

1007
01:32:07,330 --> 01:32:10,090
And that's because of your home value has gone up.

1008
01:32:11,110 --> 01:32:13,990
The tax rate of District 202 has gone down.

1009
01:32:14,810 --> 01:32:18,690
And I know that takes a lot to take, particularly when you see this, but any community members

1010
01:32:18,690 --> 01:32:22,150
would like to walk through that week and walk through that for you.

1011
01:32:22,290 --> 01:32:28,490
But as you had seen, currently the taxes are 26,000 as well where you receive from the project

1012
01:32:28,490 --> 01:32:34,750
as you had seen, that's all the taxing bodies, all five taxing bodies, 26,000 a year.

1013
01:32:34,750 --> 01:32:40,630
If this development comes in place, you saw that it was $6 million a year for all the

1014
01:32:40,630 --> 01:32:41,470
taxing bodies.

1015
01:32:41,950 --> 01:32:44,630
This money would be used for capital projects.

1016
01:32:45,150 --> 01:32:47,290
It would be used for day-to-day operations.

1017
01:32:47,790 --> 01:32:51,770
It would be used for personnel and equipment as well.

1018
01:32:52,330 --> 01:32:58,210
And even though the new development, we are hoping it's coming, this does not provide immediate

1019
01:32:58,210 --> 01:33:00,350
money or immediate growth.

1020
01:33:00,350 --> 01:33:07,770
We're years down the road, as you had seen that, but I will tell you, yet, in 2018, these

1021
01:33:07,770 --> 01:33:12,890
taxing bodies really put together a proposal and partnership with the village that the

1022
01:33:12,890 --> 01:33:19,410
taxing bodies committed over the next 10 years, $7.5 million for that road.

1023
01:33:20,390 --> 01:33:27,610
So for 143rd extension, the five taxing bodies committed over 10 years, $7.5 million, District

1024
01:33:27,610 --> 01:33:35,930
or 202 over the next 10 years will pay $5 million for that road that we're there.

1025
01:33:36,310 --> 01:33:41,870
With not seeing any immediate financial benefit at this point, really it's in hope of moving

1026
01:33:41,870 --> 01:33:42,370
forward.

1027
01:33:42,930 --> 01:33:51,390
We will write a check to the village for $500,000 and the next really very quickly is a part

1028
01:33:51,390 --> 01:33:52,130
of that promise.

1029
01:33:52,130 --> 01:33:59,270
And really, this, you know, I think the promise of the village, the promise of the taxing

1030
01:33:59,270 --> 01:34:04,010
bodies working together for that road, it wasn't just about improving traffic flow.

1031
01:34:04,650 --> 01:34:08,890
The reason I think that we submitted that sign the intergovernmental agreements was really

1032
01:34:08,890 --> 01:34:15,290
the promise and hope for industrial development aligned to the comprehensive plan, aligned

1033
01:34:15,290 --> 01:34:18,210
to conversations that we had had moving forward.

1034
01:34:18,210 --> 01:34:25,230
And we will, I do believe, and I think we all do, that the investment in that road right now has kept Diagio on

1035
01:34:25,230 --> 01:34:36,310
143rd, it's kept BP chill on 143rd and DHL supply chain as well in addition to attracting businesses like Tramilcrow.

1036
01:34:37,370 --> 01:34:45,950
The stark difference between the residential and commercial demands and the benefit to the taxing bodies was outlined very well by chief

1037
01:34:45,950 --> 01:34:51,890
I would say, and just to add to that is, you know, if we were going to have to tie it in,

1038
01:34:52,210 --> 01:34:59,970
if we were going to try to get equivalent revenue that's 6 million from a residential development, as cheap it in.

1039
01:35:00,000 --> 01:35:06,080
It indicated it would really, about 600, about 700 homes is what would happen. And so to achieve

1040
01:35:06,080 --> 01:35:11,620
equivalent revenue for the taxing bodies would, that would, the village would have to build

1041
01:35:11,620 --> 01:35:18,520
another color farms, and you would have to build another bronch of states, about 75% of

1042
01:35:18,520 --> 01:35:23,840
bronch of states. That, those amount of residents would give the taxing bodies the same amount

1043
01:35:23,840 --> 01:35:30,640
of revenue but as indicated by the chief the amount of services is substantial as we go through

1044
01:35:30,640 --> 01:35:37,120
that so I would say this and as you know the residential would give a significant burden to those

1045
01:35:37,120 --> 01:35:42,540
groups so there's been a lot of projects throughout the years that we the taxing bodies want to

1046
01:35:42,540 --> 01:35:47,380
partner together with and partner with the village some things we can do some we can't based on

1047
01:35:47,380 --> 01:35:51,920
timelines based on money based on certain other goals, but we urge you to

1048
01:35:51,920 --> 01:35:56,940
approve this project. We believe it will provide an additional revenue to our

1049
01:35:56,940 --> 01:36:01,380
taxing bodies that will diversify the tax base. There's limited impact on our

1050
01:36:01,380 --> 01:36:06,920
services and then it'll allow us to support our current facilities, support our

1051
01:36:06,920 --> 01:36:11,280
schools, diversify our tax bases mentioned, and to continue to ensure the

1052
01:36:11,280 --> 01:36:16,120
high quality services that all our taxing bodies provide. Thank you for your

1053
01:36:16,120 --> 01:36:21,560
time. I know this is a tough decision for you. Hope you have a good 2025. Dr. Wood, I had

1054
01:36:21,560 --> 01:36:26,920
one question for you and following up on that. I know that people have moved to Plainfield

1055
01:36:26,920 --> 01:36:32,080
over the years over my lifetime. Always number one thing is always the quality schools and the good

1056
01:36:32,080 --> 01:36:37,700
schools that Plainfield has. I do know that one particular issue you're working hard on is teacher

1057
01:36:37,700 --> 01:36:43,560
retention and making sure we're competitive on a salary basis and you didn't mention it specifically

1058
01:36:43,560 --> 01:36:48,080
that generally personnel, but you could confirm that this would be a great

1059
01:36:48,080 --> 01:36:51,800
health towards that end in retaining quality teachers in Plainfield.

1060
01:36:55,340 --> 01:36:55,920
You did.

1061
01:36:57,800 --> 01:37:03,360
Well, as you know, within the village, the fast growth of village had 20 years ago,

1062
01:37:03,520 --> 01:37:04,500
we built a lot of schools.

1063
01:37:05,640 --> 01:37:07,400
And so now all the roots need to be repaired.

1064
01:37:07,620 --> 01:37:09,140
Now all the roads need to be repaired.

1065
01:37:09,300 --> 01:37:13,180
So in addition to personnel, but there's just a day-to-day operations,

1066
01:37:13,620 --> 01:37:17,420
we're getting a landslide of things we need to fix

1067
01:37:17,420 --> 01:37:21,340
at the same time, and then as you've seen those other developments, I mentioned

1068
01:37:21,340 --> 01:37:28,400
Keller Farms, I mentioned Brock Estates, while we expect over 800 kids

1069
01:37:28,400 --> 01:37:33,520
from those developments as well, and so prospectively other capital projects down

1070
01:37:33,520 --> 01:37:36,080
the road, this could fund that for new buildings and such.

1071
01:37:36,780 --> 01:37:38,300
Thank you, sir, thanks for being here.

1072
01:37:39,200 --> 01:37:40,860
Any other public comment this evening?

1073
01:37:43,480 --> 01:37:46,280
Very good, there's a motion to close public comment.

1074
01:37:46,280 --> 01:37:55,340
I guess motion has been made and seconded to close the public hearing and return to the regular business meeting on favor.

1075
01:37:55,800 --> 01:37:55,880
Aye.

1076
01:37:56,320 --> 01:37:56,860
All opposed.

1077
01:37:57,400 --> 01:37:58,540
Thank you, that motion carries.

1078
01:37:59,000 --> 01:38:00,820
Ms. Gibbis, would you read 5c please?

1079
01:38:03,370 --> 01:38:17,590
We're seeking board consideration of a motion to adopt the findings of fact of the Plan Commission as the findings of fact of the Board of Trustees and furthermore to direct the village attorney to prepare the necessary ordinances for approval of the requested annexation agreement.

1080
01:38:17,590 --> 01:38:24,090
and annexation, nap amendment, and special use for plan development for the project known as TCC Plane Field.

1081
01:38:24,310 --> 01:38:25,150
So, almost a second.

1082
01:38:25,550 --> 01:38:30,450
Motions been made, and seconded, are there any comments or questions on the item?

1083
01:38:30,790 --> 01:38:36,590
I do, I just want to, for points of clarity, this is not an approval tonight for the project.

1084
01:38:37,050 --> 01:38:43,730
It's just directing the attorney, the bill of attorney, to draft up the necessary ordinances.

1085
01:38:43,730 --> 01:38:49,430
And this, looking at this, it's a letter and it's all condensed into one paragraph.

1086
01:38:50,130 --> 01:38:53,910
Now traditionally, I think what I'm assuming is going to happen, he's going to draft

1087
01:38:53,910 --> 01:38:58,710
the ordinances if this passes tonight and it'll be outlined as one, the annexation agreement.

1088
01:38:59,110 --> 01:39:03,690
There'll be a separate vote on that, the map amendment, a separate vote on that, especially

1089
01:39:03,690 --> 01:39:08,870
use a separate vote on that, all in one under one topic.

1090
01:39:08,870 --> 01:39:14,270
Now, I for one want to see what's in there, and I'm hoping that if this does pass it,

1091
01:39:14,950 --> 01:39:21,650
that the $6.5 million that they are promising that will be in the annexation agreement will

1092
01:39:21,650 --> 01:39:27,210
be properly outlined because a lot of times what happens is yes, these things come through

1093
01:39:27,210 --> 01:39:28,750
and we learn this with Diagio.

1094
01:39:29,450 --> 01:39:36,150
It was 300,000 at the time that we secured for those at least some trees along the pathway

1095
01:39:36,150 --> 01:39:41,770
and for those two neighborhoods, it was small by today's standards, but at the time, we had

1096
01:39:41,770 --> 01:39:46,830
never done that before. And that's kind of what started this. And now, as stated earlier in the

1097
01:39:46,830 --> 01:39:52,950
presentation, I believe it was $0.75 a square foot now. It's up to, I think, $1.28 a square foot that

1098
01:39:52,950 --> 01:39:58,510
this company is looking to contribute. I would like to see if this passes, at least from my perspective,

1099
01:39:59,010 --> 01:39:59,890
I want to see it now.

1100
01:40:00,000 --> 01:40:27,620
I don't know exactly how this will be spent or to narrow it down, rather than just a vague, oh, we'll move money from column B. And then the whole site gets the whole premise of this $6.5 million is lost within two years. And a new board comes, this is, well, you know what? Yeah, that board passed it, but, you know, at times they're different now. So we need this project. We're going to put it over this streetlight over here. I'd like it to be specific as specific can be. I understand there needs to be wiggle room because times do change.

1101
01:40:28,100 --> 01:40:32,200
but I think if this passes, I just ask that it be very, very specific.

1102
01:40:32,420 --> 01:40:38,500
And then the public can look at all of the ordinances that are coming up to,

1103
01:40:38,760 --> 01:40:42,180
they may say, yeah, we like the annexation, but now we don't like the site plan.

1104
01:40:42,500 --> 01:40:47,580
Or we like the site plan, but we don't really like the annexation because we want it to be on incorporated land.

1105
01:40:47,920 --> 01:40:53,080
So I think it needs to be thorough, and to be clear, it's not a vote to approve this project tonight.

1106
01:40:53,520 --> 01:40:54,800
It's just to have them draft the ordinances.

1107
01:40:54,980 --> 01:40:56,900
So everybody can read them, it'll be out there.

1108
01:40:56,900 --> 01:40:58,000
Now, look, they come out on Thursday.

1109
01:40:58,340 --> 01:41:00,240
You have a short window to read this big packet.

1110
01:41:00,240 --> 01:41:01,000
He's going to draft.

1111
01:41:02,300 --> 01:41:05,980
So the second question is to when, if this passes,

1112
01:41:06,620 --> 01:41:10,020
when would you have this done a what projected meeting

1113
01:41:10,020 --> 01:41:12,620
would this come up in so the public can be aware to say,

1114
01:41:12,700 --> 01:41:14,600
OK, we know that Thursday before the Monday,

1115
01:41:14,640 --> 01:41:15,520
this is going to come out.

1116
01:41:16,060 --> 01:41:18,100
At least give the public some time to digest it

1117
01:41:18,100 --> 01:41:19,100
to read through it.

1118
01:41:19,420 --> 01:41:20,300
You may like what you see.

1119
01:41:20,460 --> 01:41:20,920
You may not.

1120
01:41:21,760 --> 01:41:23,960
And then you can come back at the next meeting whenever

1121
01:41:23,960 --> 01:41:25,680
this is and say, hey, look, we like this.

1122
01:41:25,680 --> 01:41:29,360
we don't like this. You know what, part of this project was good. Maybe it changed my mind.

1123
01:41:29,980 --> 01:41:34,060
Maybe Mr. Vogel is an excellent draft here, and the negative people here will be like, well,

1124
01:41:34,420 --> 01:41:38,560
it's okay, he did a good job. Maybe they won't, but I just think everybody should be informed.

1125
01:41:40,320 --> 01:41:44,160
And oftentimes projects are found out after they've already been voted on, right?

1126
01:41:44,480 --> 01:41:50,100
So the Thursday before at 5 p.m., let's give this, we'll put out the agenda. It's like that every week.

1127
01:41:50,600 --> 01:41:54,720
Every week we have a meeting, and that is what's coming up the next Monday. So you have a few days to

1128
01:41:54,720 --> 01:41:59,560
read and digest. So if you have the date, if you have any idea, I'm sure you've discussed

1129
01:41:59,560 --> 01:42:03,320
with them what their timeline looks like and I don't know how long it's going to take

1130
01:42:03,320 --> 01:42:04,300
Mr. Vogel to do so.

1131
01:42:04,460 --> 01:42:08,980
Yeah, so to answer your first question, yes, procedurally tonight is not the final vote.

1132
01:42:09,080 --> 01:42:13,520
There will be another set of ordinances as you correctly outline. There would be at least

1133
01:42:13,520 --> 01:42:18,920
three specific, the annexation agreement, annexation itself, zoning upon annexation, and then

1134
01:42:18,920 --> 01:42:23,700
whatever the special use that's required as part of it that would all be voted on individually

1135
01:42:24,520 --> 01:42:29,620
as part of a future board agenda. As to the timing, we have had discussions with

1136
01:42:29,620 --> 01:42:34,900
Tramble Crow on that. Even the numbers you see tonight there are being baked in as kind of

1137
01:42:34,900 --> 01:42:38,820
the meat and potatoes of the annexation agreement because to your point, we do want to call out

1138
01:42:38,820 --> 01:42:44,160
specifically where these funds will go or how those funds may be used. As does Tramble as well,

1139
01:42:44,680 --> 01:42:45,980
We've talked about this a bit.

1140
01:42:46,280 --> 01:42:51,820
There can be some flexibility built in, but this is something we've talked with Josh and his team about, right?

1141
01:42:51,920 --> 01:42:57,040
They have to answer to the people that pay for these projects who would like to know where their funds are going as well.

1142
01:42:57,960 --> 01:43:01,420
We will discuss with them what the timing of it will be.

1143
01:43:01,480 --> 01:43:03,340
We would do not have a meeting two weeks from tonight.

1144
01:43:03,340 --> 01:43:06,940
Our regularly scheduled board meeting in light of the holiday.

1145
01:43:06,940 --> 01:43:16,400
So we may have a special meeting, one of the two January workshops, or potentially the first February board meeting.

1146
01:43:16,620 --> 01:43:22,440
So I don't know. I'll work with them. The staff will have to work with them a bit. I don't know exactly what their thoughts are.

1147
01:43:22,500 --> 01:43:27,740
We're getting close to having all the details ironed out of what we need to on the annexation agreement.

1148
01:43:28,020 --> 01:43:34,660
So we they have timelines as well from their their seller. So we want to be respectful of that. But I would anticipate.

1149
01:43:35,680 --> 01:43:39,720
probably a special in January or one of the February meetings and looking at

1150
01:43:39,720 --> 01:43:43,960
at least at a head nod that that looks agreeable to them so they can go on the

1151
01:43:43,960 --> 01:43:47,880
website go to the village playing field click the government village board go

1152
01:43:47,880 --> 01:43:51,760
down to agendas and you'll see all of the agendas leave you publishing the

1153
01:43:51,760 --> 01:43:55,280
Thursday before and you'll be able to pull it up so check on Thursdays at 5 p.m.

1154
01:43:55,420 --> 01:43:59,820
yeah and it just to add to administer like more is a outline regarding the

1155
01:43:59,820 --> 01:44:20,180
schedule, just to provide specific dates, if we're to have a special meeting as part of our community, the whole workshop on January 27th, the agenda would come out on January 22nd for looking to circle dates, or if it's the next regularly scheduled meeting of the bill's board on February 3rd of the agenda would come out to Thursday prior January 30th.

1156
01:44:20,180 --> 01:44:24,240
So those will be two dates to circle to check the bill's website.

1157
01:44:24,300 --> 01:44:26,280
You're always welcome to contact the planning department.

1158
01:44:26,420 --> 01:44:29,200
We could fill you in on our understanding of the schedule as well.

1159
01:44:32,720 --> 01:44:33,620
Any other comments or questions?

1160
01:44:35,480 --> 01:44:37,720
I've got three pages of notes.

1161
01:44:38,800 --> 01:44:41,940
So I want to try to get through this as quickly as possible.

1162
01:44:43,100 --> 01:44:44,820
This one is a bit hard to digest.

1163
01:44:45,160 --> 01:44:48,240
A lot of strong beliefs across the room and across the community

1164
01:44:48,240 --> 01:44:50,160
of people reaching out saying I'm not coming

1165
01:44:50,160 --> 01:44:54,560
to a board meeting to sit there for hours on end the night before school starts.

1166
01:44:55,020 --> 01:44:59,980
So apologies to a lot of people who I've seen left the room and people who every...

1167
01:45:00,000 --> 01:45:29,960
We've got to get up and go to work and the kids are going back. So in regards to Tramwell Crow, fantastic presentation, as always. You're a top group. I expect nothing less. The business partners that you have involved that are from the Calb project. I drive past that almost every weekend to go up to the lake. There's not a single residential home around that.

1168
01:45:29,960 --> 01:45:33,540
If you pull that screen back up, it's nothing but farm field around it.

1169
01:45:34,060 --> 01:45:39,280
I look to my left every time along I 88 and I see all the warehouses on a state single subdivision home.

1170
01:45:40,100 --> 01:45:42,460
So that is something that is impressive as it is.

1171
01:45:42,740 --> 01:45:44,780
It doesn't resonate with playing field for me.

1172
01:45:46,320 --> 01:45:50,740
So your attorney, I have very few favorite attorneys that come before this board.

1173
01:45:52,240 --> 01:45:53,560
Trust me on that.

1174
01:45:54,120 --> 01:45:58,140
You're one of my favorite because you are extremely candid, transparent, honest,

1175
01:45:58,140 --> 01:46:01,520
and you communicate extremely well with our administrator.

1176
01:46:01,840 --> 01:46:02,800
And I appreciate that.

1177
01:46:03,420 --> 01:46:06,720
Your group overall tonight in presentation, top notch,

1178
01:46:06,940 --> 01:46:08,080
wouldn't expect anything less.

1179
01:46:09,260 --> 01:46:12,240
So this isn't personal regarding your project,

1180
01:46:12,880 --> 01:46:16,880
your proposal, what you have, and you know that.

1181
01:46:17,020 --> 01:46:19,180
You've already talked to Blake Moore, I'm aware.

1182
01:46:19,580 --> 01:46:22,100
And you know where I stand, I've run into you before.

1183
01:46:22,380 --> 01:46:25,720
So this is not something I've been in favor of.

1184
01:46:26,760 --> 01:46:31,540
The traffic implications of this project are still uncertain.

1185
01:46:32,340 --> 01:46:42,020
As fantastic and highly regarded as Kimmy Horn is, with I-55 and 143rd Connect, we have

1186
01:46:42,020 --> 01:46:45,020
no clue what that's going to look like when it starts coming into town.

1187
01:46:45,340 --> 01:46:51,000
So to say we can't go past about a mile out from the project site, I don't know when

1188
01:46:51,000 --> 01:46:56,900
your 27 minute commutes to get from 127th down to 55 is going to look like and everything

1189
01:46:56,900 --> 01:47:01,320
that happens on the east side of this town is impacting the west and everything that

1190
01:47:01,320 --> 01:47:03,900
happens on the west side of this town is impacting the east.

1191
01:47:05,740 --> 01:47:11,400
There's three industrial buildings on 100 third that remain incomplete and they're not

1192
01:47:11,400 --> 01:47:12,140
yet operational.

1193
01:47:12,520 --> 01:47:14,080
They're not yet.

1194
01:47:14,340 --> 01:47:16,540
We don't have the revenue generated from that.

1195
01:47:17,480 --> 01:47:19,540
So the traffic pattern is coming in and out of that.

1196
01:47:19,540 --> 01:47:30,380
The traffic patterns we have are projections usually based upon who we think the end user might be in the number of parking stalls, but we don't know what the rollways are going to look like.

1197
01:47:30,380 --> 01:47:39,460
And I remember this, it a phone called the District 202 out of 680 homes in our

1198
01:47:39,460 --> 01:47:44,220
neighborhood and picked up. So they had to redo the bus route. What does that

1199
01:47:44,220 --> 01:47:50,280
tell me? Out of 680 homes, either I'm a crappy bonus parent and put my get on

1200
01:47:50,280 --> 01:47:53,380
the bus or that means parents are involved and they want to get their kids to

1201
01:47:53,380 --> 01:47:57,440
school themselves or they have the financial means to be home, either in a remote

1202
01:47:57,440 --> 01:48:02,060
role or not working outside of the home to get their kids to school.

1203
01:48:02,820 --> 01:48:07,260
That means that's that more willing cars on the road every single day.

1204
01:48:07,880 --> 01:48:10,540
That's the community we're in in Plainfield by choice.

1205
01:48:13,510 --> 01:48:23,870
The industrial park that is being proposed is larger, substantially larger than the industrial zoning project.

1206
01:48:23,870 --> 01:48:30,910
that's been ongoing on 135th Street that impacts the Lakeland's neighborhood and a local elementary school.

1207
01:48:31,450 --> 01:48:38,230
Notably, the village of Plainfield, the village of Bowlingbrook and the school district opposed that project in writing

1208
01:48:38,230 --> 01:48:48,790
and showing up to the Will County District zoning meeting I myself went along with Trustee Benucci saying that we were opposed to the industrial zoning

1209
01:48:48,790 --> 01:48:53,250
that we were concerned over the change in industrial,

1210
01:48:53,850 --> 01:48:58,650
what that use could bring and the truck traffic near those residential homes,

1211
01:48:59,170 --> 01:49:02,310
and what the end user of an industrial zoning could bring.

1212
01:49:02,850 --> 01:49:05,370
Specifically for that neighborhood, blasting.

1213
01:49:11,580 --> 01:49:14,620
In consistency is the part that I struggle with.

1214
01:49:15,100 --> 01:49:21,560
I have residents in Liberty Grove, Dayfield, and newer subdivisions along 126

1215
01:49:21,560 --> 01:49:32,100
This down throughout the whole community that are asking why Lincoln Elementary along 143rd that the kids are going to be crossing is not as important as that neighborhoods.

1216
01:49:32,940 --> 01:49:37,460
Why say no to industrial there but not to these neighborhoods.

1217
01:49:38,440 --> 01:49:42,820
Plainfield South is adjacent, directly adjacent on Ridge Road.

1218
01:49:43,340 --> 01:49:45,380
These trucks will be routed along Ridge Road.

1219
01:49:45,920 --> 01:49:51,800
that is a school of several thousand kids that will be impacted of kids that don't

1220
01:49:51,800 --> 01:49:55,640
know how to drive was just be honest about it. They've got a year or two under

1221
01:49:55,640 --> 01:49:59,440
their belt at best coming out of there or they're riding with friends and cars.

1222
01:50:00,000 --> 01:50:29,960
And getting on a ridge road, and these semis will be going down those streets. Even if we sat here and said, yep, I'm going to say 50 bucks a year on my property tax bill. Let's just say it happened. What's the adverse burden? What's the yin to the yang? What do I have to sacrifice to save that 50 bucks? Maybe it's 500. I don't know. Let's get creative here and say it's going to be huge. What's the burden? Because I'm talking to parents who are

1223
01:50:29,960 --> 01:50:34,080
saying it's already a nightmare because we use one bus service to get to three different

1224
01:50:34,080 --> 01:50:38,540
schools in the morning. I already talked to parents that tell me that they can't get from

1225
01:50:38,540 --> 01:50:43,000
one side of the town to the other. It's residents who keep showing up every Monday night or

1226
01:50:43,000 --> 01:50:48,020
saying they can't even turn out of their neighborhood, but that intersection is not included

1227
01:50:48,020 --> 01:50:54,280
in this traffic study. When 55 unloads onto the new 143rd, it will dramatically change the

1228
01:50:54,280 --> 01:50:57,300
dynamics of this community. We don't know those impacts yet.

1229
01:50:57,300 --> 01:51:03,960
But the sheer scale of the development, 5 million square feet, it's incompatible with

1230
01:51:03,960 --> 01:51:06,120
the character and the needs of the surrounding neighborhoods.

1231
01:51:06,800 --> 01:51:09,480
Take a look at that impressive project along I-88.

1232
01:51:10,480 --> 01:51:11,480
There's no neighborhoods.

1233
01:51:11,820 --> 01:51:12,540
I drive past it.

1234
01:51:12,580 --> 01:51:15,460
There's a cute little farmhouse and he's got a little RV sitting out there.

1235
01:51:16,000 --> 01:51:17,700
It's on the right side of the road, not the left.

1236
01:51:18,440 --> 01:51:23,560
When Lockley Park was built, and I may be incorrect with this, but it's Lockley or Green

1237
01:51:23,560 --> 01:51:26,920
Breyer, shame on me in real estate, but I confuse this you all the time.

1238
01:51:27,480 --> 01:51:32,420
The village required the builder to disclose that 143rd was set to be a new major roadway

1239
01:51:32,420 --> 01:51:33,740
and a designated truck route.

1240
01:51:34,180 --> 01:51:38,160
That was a conversation between the village and the developer.

1241
01:51:38,520 --> 01:51:41,560
So when you sign on the dotted line, you're going to go buy this brand new house.

1242
01:51:41,560 --> 01:51:45,520
They were supposed to give you a sheet, tell you something in the disclosure that that's

1243
01:51:45,520 --> 01:51:46,340
a major truck route.

1244
01:51:47,900 --> 01:51:52,320
Did the village notify Greenbrier, though, because that's the one I think that came

1245
01:51:52,320 --> 01:52:01,120
in second. And I could be wrong about that, but 400 acres at the time was not approved

1246
01:52:01,120 --> 01:52:06,720
when Greenbrayer was approved. 400 acres was not approved in the comprehensive plan until

1247
01:52:06,720 --> 01:52:12,760
October of 2024. We didn't have this much industrial in our comprehensive plan whatsoever.

1248
01:52:13,560 --> 01:52:19,280
The industrial development was along 143rd. It didn't come out this far west towards 126.

1249
01:52:19,280 --> 01:52:23,760
So those homeowners may have never known what was going to be going in across the street.

1250
01:52:24,480 --> 01:52:30,640
So I wish that we had had more transparency in regards to the process of those homeowners,

1251
01:52:30,640 --> 01:52:32,300
because some of them truly may not have known.

1252
01:52:32,820 --> 01:52:39,340
The comp plan was not changed adding industrial of over 400 additional acres until October of 2024.

1253
01:52:40,080 --> 01:52:49,260
And on top of that an extra 80 acres was changed on the spot in this boardroom on the hard corner of 126 in Steiner at the request of the

1254
01:52:49,260 --> 01:52:53,920
the landowner, rightfully so that property was going to be surrounded by industrial.

1255
01:52:54,140 --> 01:52:56,820
They wish to be designated industrial as well.

1256
01:52:57,500 --> 01:53:00,080
Hard corners industrial, usually never tend to flow great.

1257
01:53:00,240 --> 01:53:02,180
We usually wanted to see them reserved for commercial.

1258
01:53:02,740 --> 01:53:06,180
On a whim that night, the board made the decision to go ahead and wrap it in.

1259
01:53:07,080 --> 01:53:13,160
When it comes to 143rd, I do take full accountability and responsibility for

1260
01:53:13,160 --> 01:53:18,820
approving the 143rd truck route and what its intentions were as a resident of Liberty Grove trust me.

1261
01:53:18,820 --> 01:53:21,320
Those were some very hard conversations.

1262
01:53:23,990 --> 01:53:26,430
The intention was to alleviate the congestion.

1263
01:53:26,650 --> 01:53:30,830
We had talked about the metrics to take 12 minutes off of each person's commute on the

1264
01:53:30,830 --> 01:53:35,270
directions and the downtown area coming off of 126 and 55 area.

1265
01:53:35,650 --> 01:53:40,350
It was introduced a nominal tax diversification that we were missing and to retain our number

1266
01:53:40,350 --> 01:53:41,350
one private employer.

1267
01:53:41,950 --> 01:53:47,170
I appreciate the fire departments and other taxing bodies assistance with ensuring 143 get

1268
01:53:47,170 --> 01:53:48,610
completed to achieve these goals.

1269
01:53:48,610 --> 01:53:54,050
but there are still additional buildings that haven't even had their doors open, their walls aren't even up.

1270
01:53:54,890 --> 01:53:58,590
So if they're not even finished, we're not even generating the tax revenue off of them.

1271
01:53:59,190 --> 01:54:07,590
No board members that I know that set on the board at that time were looking to have this type of impact of industrial in this community.

1272
01:54:09,390 --> 01:54:16,530
But Nuchi and Wajewski, we had really hard conversations, really late night, 11 p.m.

1273
01:54:16,810 --> 01:54:20,630
being yelled at and then going to our cars wondering what the heck doing was this

1274
01:54:20,630 --> 01:54:21,630
the right thing to do.

1275
01:54:22,130 --> 01:54:26,350
Prior to the conversation saying, my heart hurts to do this, I got neighbors screaming

1276
01:54:26,350 --> 01:54:28,230
at me about kid safety and trucks.

1277
01:54:28,690 --> 01:54:30,730
We've already hurt two neighborhoods enough.

1278
01:54:30,890 --> 01:54:33,790
Now we're doing it to at least four on the west end.

1279
01:54:35,150 --> 01:54:46,030
We took the verbal abuse, some of it was some pretty disgusting hate mail, it is what it is it's part of the job and I don't disrespect anybody in this room who disagrees with me this evening.

1280
01:54:46,630 --> 01:54:52,150
You're representing your taxing bodies and doing what you think is best as well. It's a hard seat to be in and I appreciate it.

1281
01:54:52,890 --> 01:54:57,070
We've been lectured though and we've been preached that and we've been degraded that we don't understand the market.

1282
01:54:57,070 --> 01:54:59,770
Some of us appear who are opposed to this and we must

1283
01:55:00,000 --> 01:55:27,900
Strike when the iron is hot. Seafried made promises that they couldn't deliver. I warned this board and what they came back said was they couldn't finish financing and funding their building. They built a spec, they wholesaled it out. We had no control over who that end user was going to be. Now we have no control over who these seven end users will be. You saw the list of corporations up there. Amazon's on that list.

1284
01:55:27,900 --> 01:55:35,020
And I have no idea or doubt that there's not a big corporate, big box player that's chomping

1285
01:55:35,020 --> 01:55:35,820
at the bit for this.

1286
01:55:36,300 --> 01:55:41,920
What that does to 143rd to put possibly a thousand to 2,000 more semis on it is going

1287
01:55:41,920 --> 01:55:49,080
to push the residential traffic onto 126 into your downtown area, down Renwick, down Cate

1288
01:55:49,080 --> 01:55:54,520
and Farm, which isn't part of our area, but I know everybody out that West comes down our

1289
01:55:54,520 --> 01:56:00,280
roads to hit to 55 because they don't have an easy access, 135th is going to be

1290
01:56:00,280 --> 01:56:03,980
hit hard. Ridge roads are going to become a nightmare and your 127th area is

1291
01:56:03,980 --> 01:56:09,200
going to get flagged too. Where the trucks are the cars will avoid. So your side

1292
01:56:09,200 --> 01:56:12,860
roads are going to become your main roads. We don't have the full impact of what

1293
01:56:12,860 --> 01:56:16,320
this is going to do. The community between the trucks, the noise, the light

1294
01:56:16,320 --> 01:56:21,460
pollution, and the potential for 24-7 operations that will fundamentally at odds

1295
01:56:21,460 --> 01:56:27,040
going to be completely opposite of what residential living is like on two lane roads.

1296
01:56:27,340 --> 01:56:29,400
Again, not to Cal, but I 88.

1297
01:56:30,260 --> 01:56:35,620
Plainfield and all taxing bodies have yet to receive the full scope of revenue from the buildings that aren't even complete.

1298
01:56:36,300 --> 01:56:38,800
Yet taxing bodies are knocking on the doors with their hands out.

1299
01:56:39,120 --> 01:56:39,760
I don't blame you.

1300
01:56:40,020 --> 01:56:48,200
We spent years saving for the necessary funding through very rough cyclic processes of economic ups and downs.

1301
01:56:48,760 --> 01:56:59,200
We got to $9 million in capital in order to prove how fiscally responsible we were to get millions of dollars in grants to make a hundred and forty-third happen.

1302
01:56:59,800 --> 01:57:05,840
With this project and to turn around and flood a hundred and forty-third with a thousand to two thousand more semis,

1303
01:57:06,040 --> 01:57:12,660
you're making a promise to every plaintful resident here tonight that the traffic will get worse before it ever gets better.

1304
01:57:13,360 --> 01:57:27,690
If that's your plan to prove how bad you can make it in order to get the 80 million needed for the real grade separation of a hundred and forty-third to get an overpass, so you actually get it done, pay your other right path, but I can't support it.

1305
01:57:29,240 --> 01:57:36,520
Those east of town in regards to the Lakelands area and other neighborhoods, 135th residential traffic will get increasingly worse.

1306
01:57:36,520 --> 01:57:50,680
How do you jump on to 55? 143rd is now overburdened, especially with the lovely rail road that you just can't seem to ever get around when you're just trying to get up to the store, but now it's your main ferro 3 to get to 55.

1307
01:57:52,000 --> 01:57:57,540
You're worried about the east industrial projects, but what happens when the west will always fall to the east?

1308
01:57:57,540 --> 01:58:03,760
I come from truck driver families too and I don't know a single truck driver that has

1309
01:58:03,760 --> 01:58:07,860
a spouse as an over-the-road truck driver and that's what we're talking about usually

1310
01:58:07,860 --> 01:58:09,520
with these warehouses.

1311
01:58:10,420 --> 01:58:14,800
Somebody over the road making a good 90 to 120,000 a year, who's at home?

1312
01:58:15,780 --> 01:58:19,180
You don't have two truck drivers in the household, it's extremely rare.

1313
01:58:19,560 --> 01:58:21,260
I don't know any personally myself.

1314
01:58:23,020 --> 01:58:51,180
Plainfield and the village revenue has to make the majority of all police, water, sewer, and roadway infrastructures work with just 5.6 cents on the dollar, not 12% not 67% just a little over a nickel and there's $150 million in four upcoming roadway projects that we need to do 80 million alone in 143rd for the railroad grade separation if we get stuck with the bypass project for Lockport Street stop those semis

1315
01:58:51,180 --> 01:58:52,620
from wrecking the downtown area,

1316
01:58:52,780 --> 01:58:53,940
that Bowling, Brook, and Romeo,

1317
01:58:53,980 --> 01:58:55,200
they'll want to shove at us.

1318
01:58:55,820 --> 01:58:57,680
And then you've got to deal with 135th,

1319
01:58:57,700 --> 01:58:59,940
which is deemed the most failing intersection

1320
01:58:59,940 --> 01:59:01,260
in our community.

1321
01:59:02,280 --> 01:59:05,300
And then you've got to do another 119th improvement.

1322
01:59:06,080 --> 01:59:08,220
That's $150 million, we got to find.

1323
01:59:08,860 --> 01:59:12,040
So I understand and say, hey, go find the money

1324
01:59:12,040 --> 01:59:13,520
and this sounds advantageous.

1325
01:59:13,760 --> 01:59:16,100
But again, what burden, what sacrifice

1326
01:59:16,100 --> 01:59:18,180
do we make in our town in order to get to that?

1327
01:59:18,180 --> 01:59:22,840
We are at political odds with the feds.

1328
01:59:23,200 --> 01:59:24,840
It is completely shifted.

1329
01:59:25,340 --> 01:59:29,600
Illinois and Plainfield received a ton of federal grants.

1330
01:59:30,100 --> 01:59:34,600
I've had the conversation with staff on multiple levels that we will become the red-headed

1331
01:59:34,600 --> 01:59:37,780
stepchild for infrastructure funding period.

1332
01:59:38,400 --> 01:59:42,640
Between the states and the feds not getting along, I don't expect them to see our name

1333
01:59:42,640 --> 01:59:46,180
anytime soon as favorable between Illinois and the feds.

1334
01:59:46,180 --> 01:59:52,740
The adverse effects will ripple beyond the immediate area, affecting traffic flow safety and the quality of life for families and

1335
01:59:52,740 --> 01:59:59,900
neighboring communities. Ridge Road is not equipped to handle the anticipated increase in industrial traffic, and the long-term

1336
02:00:00,000 --> 02:00:29,980
The strain on infrastructure will likely necessitate costly upgrades funded by taxpayers. So what you say I'm getting and savings, I'm just whipping back out $354,000 off of seven industrial buildings. What does that even pay for? I mean, phase one engineering for a traffic light is half a million dollars. So $354,000, what am I supposed to do on the village level? And I got to somehow fund traffic lights and come up with the $150,000.

1337
02:00:32,170 --> 02:00:37,090
We should not rush into decisions that will fundamentally alter the character of a community

1338
02:00:37,090 --> 02:00:40,150
and compromise the safety, health, and environmental integrity of our town.

1339
02:00:40,790 --> 02:00:43,910
The Greenbelt Project will become a laughing joke.

1340
02:00:44,950 --> 02:00:49,130
Let's advertise that families and seniors can come walk and ride your bikes and stroll through

1341
02:00:49,130 --> 02:00:54,890
the Greenbelt as you get a picturesque view of all the long, large concrete cast buildings

1342
02:00:54,890 --> 02:00:57,410
that all the semis keep backing up to.

1343
02:00:57,410 --> 02:01:04,890
So enjoy your cycling as you're in between industrial concrete buildings and you hear B, B, B, B, B. That's your Greenbelt project.

1344
02:01:05,390 --> 02:01:14,130
Don't get me started on the trail project that's supposed to go from Route 34 that's been in the multiple camps.

1345
02:01:14,130 --> 02:01:14,910
Okay, not.

1346
02:01:15,730 --> 02:01:18,730
That would be, nobody's gonna want to be calling along.

1347
02:01:21,320 --> 02:01:25,980
Some of the same residents who stood in this room in November of 2023,

1348
02:01:26,480 --> 02:01:32,000
when Wall and Woods residents begged that the village not approve about 150 apartments

1349
02:01:32,280 --> 02:01:37,480
and commercial space because they were worried about low-income runners, $1,600 a month

1350
02:01:37,480 --> 02:01:42,180
for a 600 square foot bedroom studio were worried about traffic.

1351
02:01:43,000 --> 02:01:58,420
yet some of those same residents stand a profit from this development as land owners of the farm field I don't see anybody up here with tears tonight over this and concerns about traffic. I don't blame you for wanting to profit off of your land but you don't get to have one and have the other.

1352
02:01:58,420 --> 02:02:06,960
Plain fill needs to stop listening to petty sales pitches and trendy and vibing productions mass as campaign sales pitches.

1353
02:02:07,160 --> 02:02:12,080
Your property taxes are not going to get lower, they are not going to maintain.

1354
02:02:12,880 --> 02:02:18,080
Everybody here tonight has told you they have their hand out because they need work to be done.

1355
02:02:18,300 --> 02:02:19,700
They have projects to do.

1356
02:02:19,900 --> 02:02:23,520
There is a substantial amount of growth that this community hit 20 years ago.

1357
02:02:23,520 --> 02:02:28,320
And if we approve annexation agreements like we did 20 years ago that we hold on

1358
02:02:28,840 --> 02:02:33,700
industrial, what if they don't build, we're stuck with it, just like we were with all this residential development.

1359
02:02:34,860 --> 02:02:38,420
Plainfield needs to be smart, needs to balance the growth and

1360
02:02:38,420 --> 02:02:40,080
then the 20 year annexation agreements.

1361
02:02:40,680 --> 02:02:47,380
Plainfield needs to preserve what makes Plainfield and it's surrounding areas a desirable place to live, work, raise your families.

1362
02:02:47,940 --> 02:02:52,240
Five million square feet of industrial is not what I know Plainfield wants.

1363
02:02:52,240 --> 02:02:57,200
I haven't talked to a single person that says this is a fantastic idea unless they stand

1364
02:02:57,200 --> 02:02:59,100
and have a financial benefit to it.

1365
02:03:00,480 --> 02:03:05,540
Residents didn't want the Diazio building, residents didn't want GP Transco, which wasn't

1366
02:03:05,540 --> 02:03:09,900
even in our own community, they had the news crews here.

1367
02:03:10,540 --> 02:03:15,140
They didn't want the roadway, and we've done enough damage for the better good.

1368
02:03:15,960 --> 02:03:20,940
So I generally believe that that is not the best playing field, that is not the future

1369
02:03:20,940 --> 02:03:24,400
plan failed and if you think it is, I think you're fooling yourself.

1370
02:03:24,940 --> 02:03:29,180
We cannot say here saying that what has been accomplished is not enough.

1371
02:03:29,700 --> 02:03:34,460
We need to finish what we started, we need to be smart with our tax dollars, we need to put our families first.

1372
02:03:36,080 --> 02:03:37,760
Any other comments or questions?

1373
02:03:40,740 --> 02:03:41,760
Ms. Gibb has called the question.

1374
02:03:45,390 --> 02:03:51,070
The motion was made and seconded to direct the bill to turning to prepare the necessary ordinances.

1375
02:03:52,290 --> 02:03:53,090
Trustee Ruin?

1376
02:03:53,290 --> 02:03:53,550
Yes.

1377
02:04:07,060 --> 02:04:14,700
Thank you and following our usual policy, all of those who don't have any other thing to listen to here tonight.

1378
02:04:15,220 --> 02:04:18,720
If you want to go ahead and go home, it's a late night. We're fine with that. We're not insulted.

1379
02:04:19,100 --> 02:04:20,940
So thanks everyone for being here.

1380
02:04:20,940 --> 02:04:24,720
We will move on to item number six. Ms. Gibbish, want to read out 6A?

1381
02:04:25,440 --> 02:04:32,780
Next item on the agenda is video gaming licenses. We're seeking for consideration of a motion to approve ordinance number 30702.

1382
02:04:33,160 --> 02:04:40,620
Amending chapter 4, article 15, section 4-525A. Increasing the number of class A1 video gaming licenses to 1.

1383
02:04:41,060 --> 02:04:46,580
For black dog vinyl cafe located at 16208 South profile 59, suite 112.

1384
02:04:46,580 --> 02:04:52,380
I'll move second motion's been made and seconded are there any comments or questions on this item?

1385
02:04:53,760 --> 02:04:59,840
Hearing none I'll proceed with the role trusty ruin. Yes, trust with Jawsky. No, trusty Benucci. Yes, trust

1386
02:05:00,000 --> 02:05:08,520
Trustee Calcannis. No. Trustee Kiefer. Yes. Trustee Larson. Mayor Argadalis. Yes.

1387
02:05:08,820 --> 02:05:17,760
That motion carries 403. Please continue on 6B. We're seeking board consideration of a motion to approve ordinance number 30703.

1388
02:05:17,760 --> 02:05:34,760

Seven.

1390
02:05:36,040 --> 02:05:37,000
Some move.

1391
02:05:37,700 --> 02:05:38,280
Seconded.

1392
02:05:38,280 --> 02:05:40,440
Motion's been made and seconded.

1393
02:05:40,760 --> 02:05:42,420
Are there any comments or questions on this item?

1394
02:05:44,280 --> 02:05:45,480
Hearing none, I'll proceed with the role.

1395
02:05:45,620 --> 02:05:46,160
Trustee Ruin.

1396
02:05:46,480 --> 02:05:46,760
Yes.

1397
02:05:47,260 --> 02:05:48,160
Trustee Wajowski.

1398
02:05:48,400 --> 02:05:48,500
No.

1399
02:05:48,900 --> 02:05:49,680
Trustee Benucci.

1400
02:05:50,160 --> 02:05:50,340
Yes.

1401

Trustee Kalkanis.

1402

1404

Trustee Larson.

1405
02:05:56,960 --> 02:05:57,120
No.

1406
02:05:57,540 --> 02:05:58,520
Mayor Agadellis.

1407
02:05:58,900 --> 02:05:59,220
Yes.

1408
02:05:59,780 --> 02:06:00,480
Motion carries.

1409
02:06:00,640 --> 02:06:01,020
Thank you.

1410
02:06:01,760 --> 02:06:05,800
Before we go on to the next item, I'd like to take a five minute break.

1411
02:06:06,440 --> 02:06:08,900
and then we'll come back and finish the meeting here tonight.

1412
02:06:09,360 --> 02:06:10,060
Thank you.

1413
02:06:12,520 --> 02:06:13,500
Do you have a report?

1414
02:06:14,680 --> 02:06:18,260
One thing I actually, and I did have it on my nose to talk about this anyway,

1415
02:06:18,780 --> 02:06:20,340
I know Ms. Quinn had brought it up.

1416
02:06:21,160 --> 02:06:27,680
The quarry in unincorporated Will County next to Bolinburg has not been nixed, so just clarify that.

1417
02:06:28,260 --> 02:06:34,040
It actually did receive a favorable recommendation from the Will County Planning Commission

1418
02:06:34,040 --> 02:06:38,180
And by a vote of three to two and it will go now to the full Wilk County Board.

1419
02:06:38,360 --> 02:06:44,540
I believe on January 16th, we had a meeting with Bowling Brook this morning on a separate

1420
02:06:44,540 --> 02:06:44,880
matter.

1421
02:06:45,100 --> 02:06:48,080
So I was talking with their administrator about it a bit as well.

1422
02:06:48,680 --> 02:06:52,300
I know they were a little disappointed in the plan commission vote or the planning committee

1423
02:06:52,300 --> 02:06:52,660
vote.

1424
02:06:53,660 --> 02:06:59,460
And encouraged as I would do the same contact, contact county board members, particularly

1425
02:06:59,460 --> 02:07:05,460
those in our district to discuss that as well as I mentioned no meeting on

1426
02:07:05,460 --> 02:07:12,280
January 20th next week our formal public budget process will begin I believe

1427
02:07:12,280 --> 02:07:17,280
we start with water and sewer next week so not to issue a spoiler there but that's

1428
02:07:17,280 --> 02:07:21,760
where we will begin next week we have a lot to talk about in terms of water and

1429
02:07:21,760 --> 02:07:24,620
sewer improvements for the air and plants for the air and just the overall

1430
02:07:24,620 --> 02:07:29,200
budget for the air so we're looking forward to starting that it's all I have

1431
02:07:29,200 --> 02:07:35,980
I'm thank you management services report nor part tonight. Thanks engineers report. No report planning department report

1432
02:07:35,980 --> 02:07:37,780
No report building department report

1433
02:07:37,780 --> 02:07:38,900
Ditto

1434
02:07:38,900 --> 02:07:45,400
No report did you warm up yet mr. Spires? I am finally warmed up after that exciting two hours

1435
02:07:45,400 --> 02:07:50,220
All right public works mr. Three-way you have some things to say tonight

1436
02:07:50,220 --> 02:07:57,040
Thank you mayor and good evening board. We have actually three items underneath the public works report tonight

1437
02:07:57,040 --> 02:08:01,960
and they are related to two projects that are in the village's adopted transportation plan.

1438
02:08:02,500 --> 02:08:07,980
The first two items are related to the 127th Street and Plainfield, Naperville Road intersection

1439
02:08:07,980 --> 02:08:08,660
improvement.

1440
02:08:09,120 --> 02:08:14,020
This project's been going through engineering for a number of years now.

1441
02:08:14,160 --> 02:08:19,660
We're actually on the January 17th eye dot letting, so at that point, eye dot will open the

1442
02:08:19,660 --> 02:08:25,120
bids on behalf of the village and we will know who the low bid contractor is at that point.

1443
02:08:25,120 --> 02:08:37,340
To facilitate that work, Ida does require an agreement with them essentially establishing the parameters of the contract and how the village will be paying for their share of the project.

1444
02:08:38,020 --> 02:08:47,300
The overall project costs is around $4.8 million with $2.5 million and federal funds being already secured for the project.

1445
02:08:47,300 --> 02:08:57,280
In addition to the $2.5 million in federal funds, we also have an IGA with Bowling Brook and Will County to fund their legs of the intersection.

1446
02:08:57,460 --> 02:09:03,080
The north leg is actually under the jurisdiction of Will County and the east leg is under the jurisdiction of Bowling Brook.

1447
02:09:03,260 --> 02:09:06,620
So of that $4.8 million is significant.

1448
02:09:07,460 --> 02:09:15,940
A significant portion of that cost is being paid by either the federal government or Bowling Brook and Will County.

1449
02:09:16,420 --> 02:09:21,700
So with that, if there are any questions, the first item is related, like I said, to the

1450
02:09:22,200 --> 02:09:25,740
agreement with I'd add, and I can answer questions on the second item.

1451
02:09:26,320 --> 02:09:27,400
I have a question, Mr. Threewitt.

1452
02:09:28,140 --> 02:09:34,900
Any updates on timing of both when you anticipate it could start and how long the project would,

1453
02:09:35,060 --> 02:09:35,860
the duration would be.

1454
02:09:35,960 --> 02:09:39,500
I know a lot of residents ask that question, you know, because they're thinking about their

1455
02:09:39,500 --> 02:09:40,660
commute as well through that area.

1456
02:09:40,660 --> 02:09:46,440
So I'll start with the timing of when the project would begin, with a January 17

1457
02:09:46,440 --> 02:09:52,540
flooding with IDOT. Typically they have 60 days to award the contract and from

1458
02:09:52,540 --> 02:09:56,160
what we've been seeing lately with them, they take a good part of that 60

1459
02:09:56,160 --> 02:09:59,920
days. So essentially two months after that January

1460
02:10:00,000 --> 02:10:29,600
17th date, the contractor would have a notice to proceed with that. They would look for all the utilities to be cleared before they start work and actually administer your Blake Word mentioned. We had a meeting with Bowling for to talk about some of the utility relocations on their legs. Realistically, we anticipate the project starting around May 1st and lasting all the way through the 2025 construction season. So completed in 25, though. That would be the goal. Most likely. Yeah.

1461
02:10:29,600 --> 02:10:32,940
Got you. No guarantees over. All right, thank you.

1462
02:10:33,060 --> 02:10:37,220
Are there any other questions for Mr. Threewood on this particular item? Ms. Gibbis?

1463
02:10:38,140 --> 02:10:42,580
We're seeking board consideration of a motion to authorize the village president to execute

1464
02:10:42,580 --> 02:10:51,320
the local public agency agreement for federal participation, BLR05310C, and approved corresponding

1465
02:10:51,320 --> 02:10:58,020
resolution number 1855 as to utilize the federal funds along with the local funds for the

1466
02:10:58,020 --> 02:11:02,200
127th Street, slash Plain Field Maple Road Intersection.

1467
02:11:02,320 --> 02:11:02,680
So moved.

1468
02:11:02,880 --> 02:11:03,380
Second.

1469
02:11:05,160 --> 02:11:07,320
That motion's been made and seconded.

1470
02:11:07,620 --> 02:11:08,260
Trustee Brueyne?

1471
02:11:08,280 --> 02:11:08,400
Yes.

1472
02:11:08,680 --> 02:11:09,540
Trustee Wachowski?

1473
02:11:09,720 --> 02:11:09,840
Yes.

1474
02:11:10,060 --> 02:11:10,800
Trustee Kenucin?

1475
02:11:10,880 --> 02:11:11,020
Yes.

1476
02:11:11,300 --> 02:11:12,280
Trustee Kielkannis?

1477
02:11:13,180 --> 02:11:13,320
Yes.

1478
02:11:14,120 --> 02:11:14,880
Trustee Kiefer?

1479
02:11:15,000 --> 02:11:15,140
Yes.

1480
02:11:15,320 --> 02:11:15,840
Trustee Larson?

1481
02:11:15,960 --> 02:11:16,100
Yes.

1482
02:11:16,540 --> 02:11:16,860
Thank you.

1483
02:11:16,860 --> 02:11:17,600
That motion carries.

1484
02:11:18,040 --> 02:11:19,180
Mr. Threwett, please proceed.

1485
02:11:19,620 --> 02:11:20,020
Thank you.

1486
02:11:20,160 --> 02:11:26,620
The next item is also related to the same project, 127th Street and Plain Field Maple Road Intersection

1487
02:11:26,620 --> 02:11:33,840
For the construction, we do typically hire a consultant to oversee what we refer to as

1488
02:11:33,840 --> 02:11:36,460
phase three portion of the project, construction oversight.

1489
02:11:37,220 --> 02:11:43,120
Staff did put out a request for qualifications through our quality based selection process

1490
02:11:43,120 --> 02:11:49,540
and did rank the firms that did submit to the village based on the ranking criteria.

1491
02:11:50,240 --> 02:11:56,060
Trans systems was viewed as the most qualified consultant by village staff.

1492
02:11:56,060 --> 02:12:08,720
and then we did, after that we didn't negotiate with them on scope and fee for the project and with that we would be looking for the board's concurrence on executing a contract with trans systems for the phase three engineering.

1493
02:12:09,200 --> 02:12:16,060
Mr. Threewood, even though I dot has a role in this, they didn't have a role in this aspect of the project. That was solely our call.

1494
02:12:16,460 --> 02:12:16,960
That is correct.

1495
02:12:17,460 --> 02:12:18,900
Okay, any other questions from Mr. Threewood?

1496
02:12:18,900 --> 02:12:30,300
I will add, they don't have a say in the selection process, but the engineering agreement that is used is a standard I dot engineering agreement, but they did not have a say in the selection.

1497
02:12:30,900 --> 02:12:46,060
So yeah, I would take that to believe that or take that to mean that they had to kind of be up to speed for I dot standards and sign that I dot contract with the term that are typically in there, but we they did I dot did not select we selected that's how I read your report.

1498
02:12:46,060 --> 02:12:46,500
Thank you.

1499
02:12:46,660 --> 02:12:50,360
Any other questions from Mr. Threewood on this side, Ms. Gavis?

1500
02:12:50,760 --> 02:13:08,560
We're seeking for consideration of a motion to approve the engineering services agreement with transistants and amount not to exceed $381,928 and to authorize the President to execute the local public agency and the engineering services agreement for the 127th Street Slash Plainfield Neighborhood Road intersection project.

1501
02:13:08,560 --> 02:13:08,760
Yes.

1502
02:13:08,760 --> 02:13:09,160
Almost.

1503
02:13:09,440 --> 02:13:09,840
Second.

1504
02:13:10,480 --> 02:13:11,280
Motion's been made.

1505
02:13:11,940 --> 02:13:13,080
And seconded.

1506
02:13:13,600 --> 02:13:14,220
Trustee Boehme.

1507
02:13:14,460 --> 02:13:14,580
Yes.

1508
02:13:14,900 --> 02:13:15,640
Trustee Zhaozke.

1509
02:13:15,760 --> 02:13:15,900
Yes.

1510
02:13:16,260 --> 02:13:16,760
Trustee Boehme.

1511
02:13:17,060 --> 02:13:17,260
Yes.

1512
02:13:17,620 --> 02:13:18,540
Trustee Kalkanis.

1513
02:13:20,290 --> 02:13:21,170
Trustee Kiefer.

1514
02:13:21,350 --> 02:13:21,490
Yes.

1515
02:13:21,790 --> 02:13:22,310
Trustee Larson.

1516
02:13:22,630 --> 02:13:22,770
Yes.

1517
02:13:22,930 --> 02:13:23,230
Thank you.

1518
02:13:23,230 --> 02:13:23,570
Thank you.

1519
02:13:25,630 --> 02:13:28,830
And finishing things off here in the public works report.

1520
02:13:29,690 --> 02:13:32,850
So I mentioned that the two projects are both in our transportation plan.

1521
02:13:33,150 --> 02:13:36,630
This next project here is actually pedestrian improvement project.

1522
02:13:36,630 --> 02:13:46,090
It's in the Benson-Central Elementary in St. Mary School when we did go through the transportation plan.

1523
02:13:46,230 --> 02:13:53,370
One of the top priority projects for pedestrian improvements was the addition of sidewalks in this area.

1524
02:13:53,870 --> 02:13:59,190
With that staff did move forward with a submittal for the Safe Routes to School program.

1525
02:13:59,450 --> 02:14:06,030
As part of that submittal, the board did pass a resolution that if the village did get selected to receive funds

1526
02:14:06,030 --> 02:14:12,550
through this program that the village would contribute their proportionate share with

1527
02:14:12,550 --> 02:14:18,670
that. We did receive that grant. I think it was a $250,000 grant. So we are looking to

1528
02:14:18,670 --> 02:14:24,290
advance the engineering work for this project. Since Safe Rouser School is a federal program,

1529
02:14:24,670 --> 02:14:31,010
it does require engineering through the I-DOT, I-DOT engineering phase one phase two process.

1530
02:14:31,010 --> 02:14:51,010
So we'd be looking to go through the process within this budget season and then the funding for the sidewalk through the federal funding program wouldn't be available until potentially 20-26 to do the construction so the actual construction funding you'll see in future budget presentations.

1531
02:14:52,130 --> 02:14:54,210
Any questions from Mr. Threewood on this item?

1532
02:14:55,330 --> 02:14:56,030
Ms. Gilles?

1533
02:14:56,390 --> 02:14:58,970
We're seeking board consideration of a motion to authorize

1534
02:14:58,970 --> 02:14:59,970
the bill to President Tex.

1535
02:15:00,000 --> 02:15:09,680
Mr. Kuth, engineering services agreement with Baxman-Wubin, for Central Elementary and St. Mary-Mackelet Parish School, sidewalks, phase one, engineering services, and mountain autopsy at $108,000.

1536
02:15:10,140 --> 02:15:29,980
So moved. Motion's been made, and seconded. Trustee Buehne? Yes. Trustee Towsky? Yes. Trustee Benucci? Yes. Trustee Kale-Kannis? Yes. Trustee Kiefer? Yes. Trustee Larson? Yes. Thank you, that motion carries. Thank you. Mr. Threewitt, Mr. Chief Miller, you're next up. Yes, thank you.

02:15:34,240 --> 02:15:41,300
First off, I have, after conferring with our fleet manager, we have, we're looking to donate two surplus and

1539
02:15:41,300 --> 02:15:45,900
inoperable vehicles to the Plainfield Fire Protection District for training purposes.

1540
02:15:46,500 --> 02:15:48,540
Are there any questions for the chief on this item?

1541
02:15:49,560 --> 02:15:49,940
Ms. Gibbis?

1542
02:15:50,240 --> 02:15:58,620
We're seeking board consideration of motion to approve ordinance number 30704, authorizing the donation of two surplus vehicles to the Plainfield Fire Protection District.

1543
02:15:58,620 --> 02:15:59,600
Some move.

1544
02:15:59,800 --> 02:16:00,020

Trustee Larson.

1557
02:16:11,420 --> 02:16:11,560
Yes.

Next is, we are looking to donate a 25-year-old vehicle.

1561
02:16:19,420 --> 02:16:23,680
It's a 2004 transit van to the Franklin County Sheriff's Office.

1562
02:16:24,460 --> 02:16:30,240
there's no longer a purposeful use for the van and like I said it's about 25

1563
02:16:30,240 --> 02:16:35,120
years old we did have it listed at one time for several months with no

1564
02:16:35,120 --> 02:16:40,460
offers for it and with the amount of equipment in it when I was purchased it

1565
02:16:40,460 --> 02:16:45,660
was purchased for a mass arrest situation and I was told that literally

1566
02:16:45,660 --> 02:16:52,360
hasn't been used in probably 20 years. Any questions for the chief? Ms. Gibbous?

1567
02:16:52,360 --> 02:16:58,760
