So, as we say, city of Urbana, that's your cue.

16
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:07,760

27

Awesome, thank you.

Which there aren't any, are there any additions to the agenda?

30

Yeah.

31
00:04:54,660 --> 00:04:54,920

Move by, should we?

40
00:05:01,420 --> 00:05:01,920
Ten seconds.

41
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:03,360
Second by, Quasem Berry.

42
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:05,000
All those in favor, please say aye.

43
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:05,760
Aye.

44
00:05:05,840 --> 00:05:05,940
Aye.

45
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:06,760
All the votes.

46
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:08,760
Thank you.

47
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:10,580
What did we just vote on?

48
00:05:11,280 --> 00:05:13,600
Well, there are no minutes on the agenda.

49
00:05:13,860 --> 00:05:14,980
Yeah, so let's move on.

50
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:16,540
There was no problem.

51
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:17,320
Thank you, though.

52
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:19,220
I have them back in the case that it is.

53
00:05:19,540 --> 00:05:19,720
All right.

54
00:05:19,840 --> 00:05:21,780
We had additions to agenda, which there are none.

55
00:05:21,940 --> 00:05:25,660
We will now move to public participation, which there are any members of the public

56
00:05:25,660 --> 00:05:27,620
wishing to speak for the township board.

57
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:29,920
Next, we will have committee to verify bills,

58
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:31,680
superposition and with the floor's yours.

59
00:05:32,300 --> 00:05:32,960
Thank you.

60
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:39,760
What do you have before you at the town built sort of poured for July of 2026?

61
00:05:40,460 --> 00:05:47,060
We had in the town fund 51,276 dollars and 39 cents and expended shares.

62
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:54,680
In the general assistance fund, we had 298,235 dollars and 92 cents and expended shares.

63
00:05:55,080 --> 00:06:02,560
The total expended shares for July were almost 400,000, the total was 389,512 dollars

64
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:08,140
12 cents. You do have a list of all the expenditures in your packet. I'm happy to take

65
00:06:08,140 --> 00:06:11,500
any questions you have before moving under the Supervisor's memo.

66
00:06:23,050 --> 00:06:23,990
I move approval

67
00:06:23,990 --> 00:06:25,110
paying the bills.

68
00:06:27,900 --> 00:06:31,480
All right. Motion made by James second. Second.

69
00:06:31,900 --> 00:06:35,920
All right, second by Cherice. All those of favor? Aye. Aye.

70
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:39,820
All the polls?

71
00:06:45,100 --> 00:06:45,920
All right.

72
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:49,940
the supervisors memo in your email and also in front of you.

73
00:06:50,780 --> 00:06:57,380
I am looking to see how it compared down to less than 15 pages, so we're working on that piece.

74
00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:04,000
But I did want to spotlight our living room project, which is going along nicely.

75
00:07:04,460 --> 00:07:13,640
We did request an extension due to the some hiccups in the certification process for RCS workers.

76
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:19,120
that we've got frozen out of the licensing process.

77
00:07:19,380 --> 00:07:22,740
They understood that others were dealing with the same thing.

78
00:07:23,180 --> 00:07:27,820
So we have a new open date of November 3rd.

79
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:29,600
We have...

80
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:40,840
The 17 member staff expansion in progress, we've hired the manager and LRP admin. We are in the process of making an offer to our QHMP.

81
00:07:42,380 --> 00:07:50,720
Next is our CROT SESSA's, their Exams are set for September 23rd, and then we're interviewing peer support workers.

82
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:52,740
We do still have openings.

83
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:58,160
We are taking applications for certified recovery support specialists.

84
00:07:58,580 --> 00:08:04,240
Those are folks with 2,000 hours of supervision in a mental health or substance abuse

85
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:10,400
environment homeless services does qualify and have lived experience.

86
00:08:11,500 --> 00:08:15,680
So it's meant to be a peer support process.

87
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:19,800
If you know anyone, we're still taking applications for that.

88
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:29,520
part-time and full-time, we are still, we are going back and forth with securing the property,

89
00:08:29,900 --> 00:08:35,420
we're very close, there's been a lot of inspections done, and we've found some issues that need

90
00:08:35,420 --> 00:08:39,440
to be corrected just because it's been vacant for about a year and a half, so those need to be

91
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:49,340
corrected before we move forward, but things are going along well with that. We have part of

92
00:08:49,340 --> 00:08:55,040
will be in Evanston next week, their living room, which is a signature living room, so we're

93
00:08:55,040 --> 00:09:00,000
really trying to get in with multiple living rooms and learning a lot from our peers.

94
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:07,120
We received two leap forward leadership training awards for Marco Price, who recently completed

95
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:15,260
his as well as Shreda Johnson, who goes up tomorrow along with our bridge to home manager,

96
00:09:18,060 --> 00:09:22,500
We have a draft of policy and procedures and we have an outreach

97
00:09:22,500 --> 00:09:25,820
flyer was distributed at five different community events in the

98
00:09:25,820 --> 00:09:29,100
last three or four weeks including the Bennet family day.

99
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:33,720
Welcome week and I can't remember if the black mental health

100
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:37,540
symposium has happened or not but it's scheduled for that as well.

101
00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:42,000
Our strategic plan to homelessness has continued to move along.

102
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:43,400
That's a county wide plan.

103
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:48,560
We have moved things a little bit, need additional time for governance and coordinated

104
00:09:48,560 --> 00:09:55,180
entry policies, and we, a possible vote, is still before this ESPH in October with

105
00:09:55,180 --> 00:10:03,400
an early November, town hall plan, and I just wanted to point out a couple of other things.

106
00:10:04,100 --> 00:10:07,140
Our GA has been very solid and stable.

107
00:10:07,560 --> 00:10:13,000
We have run out of housing support for our CRIS and Motion Program, that's from the Housing

108
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:19,320
authority. So we are bringing in a new cohort without the housing option. I am looking at all

109
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:25,160
available options there because bringing someone into a decrease in motion without housing support

110
00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:32,920
is difficult if they're literally homeless. We have expanded our health desk and so we know

111
00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:40,820
have Saturdays to help people. We've also trained our health desk in coordinated entries

112
00:10:41,780 --> 00:10:49,420
Basically, if someone is experiencing homelessness, there's an interview and intake process so that they can be considered for all county-wide programs.

113
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:52,920
So we've trained the team in that.

114
00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:55,680
We still have a volume of calls.

115
00:10:55,740 --> 00:11:00,060
I've asked the front desk to keep track of walk-ins as well.

116
00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:06,900
You'll see we had 205 walk-ins in addition to, we're running about 2,000 calls per month.

117
00:11:06,900 --> 00:11:10,780
to 105 walk-ins in a single month.

118
00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:15,340
Our rental assistance applications have slowed a little bit,

119
00:11:15,460 --> 00:11:16,020
which is great.

120
00:11:16,300 --> 00:11:21,880
We're at 97 in July, which is a lot of applications to come in the door.

121
00:11:23,940 --> 00:11:27,320
We are seeing a record height number of utility assistance requests,

122
00:11:27,740 --> 00:11:28,940
because LIHEAP is closed.

123
00:11:29,420 --> 00:11:35,820
We hope that that will start with the October 1st opening for vulnerable populations.

124
00:11:35,820 --> 00:11:43,260
that will start tapering off, bus passes have stayed the same, we are seeing an increase in street outreach needs

125
00:11:43,260 --> 00:11:51,120
where 75 people served. I up from 73 in July and 52 in June, I expected that number to go down

126
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:55,680
because we're really focusing mostly on our band-up. We're doing a lot more intensive outreach

127
00:11:55,680 --> 00:12:02,520
and a five-of-road area and in downtown and Boenard Creek. In the parks we've always been present

128
00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:22,440
But we have more time, a lot of engagement and link and square, we continue if anyone would like us to engage during office hours they can call our office and we'll dispatch our street outreach folks after hours, we also have a part time street outreach person who works until about 10 p.m.

129
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:24,060
So that has helped a lot.

130
00:12:26,140 --> 00:12:28,620
Let's see, families experiencing homelessness.

131
00:12:29,140 --> 00:12:31,040
We have, at the end of August,

132
00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:34,320
we had 12 homeless families on our priority list for shelter.

133
00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:36,020
We did have a number of openings.

134
00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:39,200
As we've finished some ARPA funded projects,

135
00:12:39,900 --> 00:12:42,220
we're down to eight families on our list.

136
00:12:42,620 --> 00:12:44,900
I always, because our numbers are kind of old,

137
00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:47,920
I usually ask just the day before to see where we're at.

138
00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:49,400
So I can give you the latest numbers.

139
00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:50,760
We're at eight right now.

140
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:53,120
It's actually pretty good for the beginning of the year.

141
00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:56,480
We usually see a spike when the school system is open up.

142
00:12:57,220 --> 00:13:06,320
We want that to be zero, but we continue to work with housing navigations, supportive services.

143
00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:14,900
We are seeing a decrease in the weight list and average, the average stays stayed about

144
00:13:14,900 --> 00:13:20,540
the same four months, but the weight list time we've really been trying to get that

145
00:13:20,540 --> 00:13:22,940
down to under two months.

146
00:13:23,340 --> 00:13:30,720
So we're at 70 days, we were at about 120 days at one point when we started to really continue

147
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:32,560
to work to get that down.

148
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:42,440
So our food support has expanded, we're back to working with hope as well as Wesley, which

149
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:45,140
is great, because we've seen record number of requests.

150
00:13:45,580 --> 00:13:50,360
We did help receive a decrease from the prior month of 28%, that's the first decrease I've

151
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:55,340
in months. Probably has to do with the schools opening up and they're being a little bit more

152
00:13:55,340 --> 00:14:01,060
access to food. We are currently serving only residents of Urbana with that program and

153
00:14:01,060 --> 00:14:07,000
referring champagne residents to champagne, City of Champagne. So, Champagne has been staffing

154
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:13,420
up and it's been helping us. This is City of Champagne. Township is also present, but City of

155
00:14:13,420 --> 00:14:19,320
Champagne has put dollars and staff support. We work closely with Dr. Pernell and Human Rights

156
00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:23,960
equity office and we've been doing referrals. So that has helped because we get a lot of

157
00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:26,960
calls from folks outside of the community, our community.

158
00:14:28,980 --> 00:14:31,580
We finished up, we were

159
00:14:31,580 --> 00:14:38,020
a round-up for good at comment-ground food go-up, we brought in about $45,000 in money for our

160
00:14:38,020 --> 00:14:44,260
solid-erdy gardens, program and we're submitting a new application tomorrow. So hoping to

161
00:14:44,260 --> 00:14:49,580
We've had a lot of events, play dates in the park, free meal events, well, come back to school,

162
00:14:49,780 --> 00:14:55,100
celebration, or band of middle school, my personal favorite. I love that. I am C Community

163
00:14:55,100 --> 00:14:59,980
Nights and Scott Bennett Family Resource Day. So, if you ever have any...

164
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:05,300
E. Outreach events that you think township should be at if you could drop me a line, I'll make sure

165
00:15:05,300 --> 00:15:11,460
equity, food equity and event coordinator is connected to that. Happy to answer any questions

166
00:15:11,460 --> 00:15:13,460
you have about the supervisors memo.

167
00:15:16,620 --> 00:15:17,340
Any questions?

168
00:15:20,390 --> 00:15:22,390
All right. Mary Alice.

169
00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:31,300
Thank you. I would just check with the recessor. No, to see if you have any questions.

170
00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:35,680
Nothing additional to add this time. All right. Thank you.

171
00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:41,060
and I would call on a litvy of the community development director for the City of Urbana.

172
00:15:41,660 --> 00:15:48,640
I've asked if she would, during the reports of officers, given update on Lincoln and Maine

173
00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:54,720
development and the request before township, I wanted the town board to be aware of the request

174
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:55,720
before we move forward.

175
00:16:00,050 --> 00:16:07,450
Good evening everyone, so I know I typically address this body as the council that tonight

176
00:16:07,450 --> 00:16:11,750
it's important for us to make sure that we're keeping in mind that this is a presentation

177
00:16:11,750 --> 00:16:13,090
to the township.

178
00:16:15,490 --> 00:16:22,690
So we were very fortunate to have had an introductory call with members of the cutting-hand township

179
00:16:23,670 --> 00:16:31,310
last week on Thursday, and this is a summary of the same information that was shared and

180
00:16:31,310 --> 00:16:34,070
an opportunity to get into a little bit more detail.

181
00:16:34,070 --> 00:16:42,530
So essentially, the need is to expand the overall flow of the sewer system within the CMU district.

182
00:16:43,230 --> 00:16:47,970
I will pull up a map at on a later slide that shows you where the CMU district is.

183
00:16:48,070 --> 00:16:49,930
But that's our campus mix use district.

184
00:16:50,850 --> 00:16:58,650
The proposal is to leverage the buy right development that railcorp the developer is undertaking at 901 West Main Street,

185
00:16:59,270 --> 00:17:02,570
and ask the developer to build the new sewer as a public benefit.

186
00:17:02,570 --> 00:17:08,190
The cost of building the sewer would be offset with a one to two year property tax abayment.

187
00:17:08,750 --> 00:17:11,910
So that is the summary of the requests before you this evening.

188
00:17:13,970 --> 00:17:20,710
So what we are requesting of the Township Board is to a introduce the proposal with the request

189
00:17:20,710 --> 00:17:26,450
that the Township supervisor issue a letter of support by the end of September or early October

190
00:17:26,450 --> 00:17:34,030
and then city staff would bring a complete package with a resolution and infrastructure improvement

191
00:17:34,030 --> 00:17:41,550
agreement forward to city council, hopefully for the second October meeting for committee

192
00:17:41,550 --> 00:17:42,570
of the whole.

193
00:17:53,420 --> 00:17:58,900
And to facilitate this request, we have provided a project fax sheet, which is

194
00:17:58,900 --> 00:18:04,840
before you, and there are also a few copies on the day as for the public behind me, but the project

195
00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:12,040
fact sheet is here. And then we've also provided a template letter of support. And this

196
00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:16,660
template letter in fact sheet have been circulated to all taxing jurisdictions. It's

197
00:18:16,660 --> 00:18:22,900
exactly the same document that everyone has received. So we're being transparent with the

198
00:18:22,900 --> 00:18:24,160
information that's being shared.

199
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:34,600
Okay. So at a high level I want to discuss the

200
00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:38,240
a sanitary sewer design and estimated costs.

201
00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:42,120
Understanding, of course, that this is still a conceptual plan.

202
00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:46,020
We're bringing it forward to all the taxing bodies at an early stage

203
00:18:46,020 --> 00:18:50,080
to kind of get a sense of buy-in and support and participation

204
00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:55,080
for this effort, and we will continue to refine overall design

205
00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:57,660
and cost estimates as the project moves forward,

206
00:18:58,060 --> 00:19:00,060
or if the project is to move forward.

207
00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:20,000
So, this is the most recent information from our city engineer, but the conceptual plan essentially would be to build a new sanitary sewer alongside the existing one on Gregory Street, allowing for the excess flow from the existing sewer to spill over into the new sewer.

208
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:26,800
or rather pipe the sewer main, and the new sewer will likely be an 18 inches in diameter with

209
00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:29,600
manholes at the same intervals as the existing sewer.

210
00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:36,280
The cost of construction and fees are estimated at $1.3 million, professional engineers

211
00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:42,580
from Fair Graham are supporting this city and developing estimates and the developers engineering

212
00:19:42,580 --> 00:19:47,040
team is also working on developing estimates and trying to get to costs.

213
00:19:47,940 --> 00:19:53,540
With that said, the true cost of build will not be known until responses are received on the bid.

214
00:19:56,460 --> 00:20:00,760
So this is my attempt to summarize in pictures what I just said in words.

215
00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:08,320
I'm not an engineer, but we're happy to get an engineer before you if you'd like to speak to one.

216
00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:13,340
The existing 10-inch sewer main is represented here.

217
00:20:13,860 --> 00:20:23,620
We would be cutting the street and entering the below grade to add an additional 18-inch pipe here,

218
00:20:24,140 --> 00:20:29,100
which would be about 675 feet long and extend across Gregory Street.

219
00:20:29,660 --> 00:20:34,500
Any additional flow would come from the 10-inch pipe into the 18-inch pipe,

220
00:20:34,500 --> 00:20:39,020
and flow to our wastewater treatment facilities

221
00:20:39,020 --> 00:20:40,400
are existing plants.

222
00:20:41,540 --> 00:20:45,440
And I actually asked the IASR city engineer

223
00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:49,100
about expanding capacity and trying to better understand

224
00:20:49,100 --> 00:20:50,720
sort of sewer system dynamics.

225
00:20:51,420 --> 00:20:53,960
Essentially, our wastewater treatment plants

226
00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:57,100
are UCSD builds those for the future.

227
00:20:57,580 --> 00:21:04,480
So those facilities that process sewer runoff, or society

228
00:21:04,500 --> 00:21:10,820
sewer raw sewage from the city of Urbana in the surrounding area are designed to be able to

229
00:21:10,820 --> 00:21:18,400
accommodate the next 10, 20 years of growth. The issue is getting the sewer, the sewage to

230
00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:25,900
flow to the treatment facilities without getting backed up or stuck in the existing sewer system.

231
00:21:26,540 --> 00:21:32,760
And that's just, we have, in some cases, a very old sewer system. The 10 inch pipe that is existing

232
00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:35,460
in this location was built in the 1920s.

233
00:21:35,660 --> 00:21:38,300
It's still functional, but it's old, and as a result,

234
00:21:38,500 --> 00:21:39,800
it probably needs to be relined.

235
00:21:39,940 --> 00:21:41,140
It could be sized up.

236
00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:44,180
So the issue is not the plant's capacity.

237
00:21:44,540 --> 00:21:46,600
The issue is the sewer infrastructure

238
00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:49,040
that's interwoven across our city,

239
00:21:49,500 --> 00:21:54,020
and that of shampines, as well, to compromise the total system.

240
00:21:54,840 --> 00:22:00,160
That's a very high level explanation of sewer engineering.

241
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:06,020
So, if there are any additional questions, I'm happy to get answers from the team and report those back.

242
00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:11,220
So, just a little bit more on the campus mixed use district.

243
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:18,180
So, that was implemented in 2024 and replaced the B3U sub-district.

244
00:22:18,380 --> 00:22:25,520
The intent is basically, it's a modern zoning designation created to guide redevelopment near the University of Illinois.

245
00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:29,020
and it's a planning and zoning framework that is established.

246
00:22:30,050 --> 00:22:41,790
Sort of this desire to encourage high-density mixed use development that would support a variety of uses that would be really synergistic with our co-location next to the university.

247
00:22:42,510 --> 00:22:51,810
So this includes, of course, commercial uses, residential uses, opportunities to think creatively about maybe future lab space.

248
00:22:51,810 --> 00:22:59,490
So it's a very expansive and future-looking zoning designation that was adopted by the City of

249
00:22:59,490 --> 00:23:07,530
Urbana in, as I said, 2024, part of this proposal is to think about the future of this

250
00:23:07,530 --> 00:23:12,110
area and to accommodate future growth in the CMU district.

251
00:23:13,190 --> 00:23:17,850
And so in order to accommodate future growth, we need to ensure that we have a sewer system that

252
00:23:17,850 --> 00:23:19,350
can support that future growth.

253
00:23:19,350 --> 00:23:31,290
So, we do have a buy-write development that is, and I keep saying buy-write because that means that they need no approvals from zoning or the city council or, you know,

254
00:23:31,370 --> 00:23:39,890
they basically just need building permits and then they can build because they're building within the parameters of the existing zoning district and all the development regulations.

255
00:23:39,890 --> 00:23:48,250
So, they are filing building permits for a 10-story multi-family building that's a little

256
00:23:48,250 --> 00:23:50,450
under 400,000 square feet.

257
00:23:50,710 --> 00:23:56,590
It will be 290 units of 1 and 2 and 4 bedroom units.

258
00:23:57,410 --> 00:24:03,170
Most of the units at this stage appear to have their own bathrooms associated with them,

259
00:24:03,170 --> 00:24:09,650
So just to kind of continue to kind of paint a picture, it would be about 600 bedrooms total

260
00:24:10,510 --> 00:24:12,310
across the entire development.

261
00:24:13,330 --> 00:24:21,050
And it is being developed by Rail Corp, and they are responsible for the gather, which

262
00:24:21,050 --> 00:24:28,110
is now the UGO apartments, which has the bake lab and the ground floor, just across the street

263
00:24:28,110 --> 00:24:29,230
from Einstein Bagels.

264
00:24:29,230 --> 00:24:37,510
So, if they're known in the area, they've produced similar buildings, multifamily buildings, and yeah.

265
00:24:38,870 --> 00:24:50,170
So, I think just to sort of wrap up the existing conditions of that site, as you can see, the majority of the lots along West Main Street are actually vacant right now.

266
00:24:50,170 --> 00:24:55,030
There are some smaller multifamily structures on the property as well.

267
00:24:55,270 --> 00:25:04,750
This is a larger building, but the existing baseline assessed value in tax year 25 was $650,000.

268
00:25:05,090 --> 00:25:12,270
They're about for all of these parcels with excluding this one because this one parcel here is not in the development,

269
00:25:12,530 --> 00:25:18,910
but everything else on this block yields about $657,000 in assessed value.

270
00:25:18,910 --> 00:25:34,930
But once the development is complete, we're estimating that it would be fully stabilized and have a fully assessed year and maybe probably tax year 32, 2032, it's estimated at 20,000 dollars in a assessed value.

271
00:25:37,570 --> 00:25:46,890
So we, which I guess just to underscore it, you know, that represents a significant uplift and revenue for all taxing bodies, including the township.

272
00:25:51,540 --> 00:25:52,220
And

273
00:25:55,770 --> 00:26:01,830
we did some calculations which I'm happy to share after the fact with the Tonship Supervisor

274
00:26:01,830 --> 00:26:07,590
and if she deems appropriate to send on, we can, but I did do some back-of-envelope calculations

275
00:26:08,710 --> 00:26:16,410
and roughly a two-year tax abatement would mean that the Tonship is for going about $98,000,

276
00:26:16,810 --> 00:26:20,890
but it would retain a total of $23,000 over that period.

277
00:26:20,890 --> 00:26:26,910
I don't want to get too technical, but basically this is structured the same way the proposal

278
00:26:26,910 --> 00:26:31,230
is to structure the tax abatement the same way the enterprise zone is structured.

279
00:26:31,910 --> 00:26:36,870
So it would just be on the increased value. The baseline taxes would stay the same.

280
00:26:37,610 --> 00:26:44,270
So you wouldn't before going any tax revenue that's already being accounted for.

281
00:26:44,390 --> 00:26:46,630
It's just the increment that would be abated.

282
00:26:48,330 --> 00:26:51,870
So, we are looking for tax and body participation in this proposal.

283
00:26:52,430 --> 00:26:55,670
Of course, tonight we're talking to you all as the board.

284
00:26:56,710 --> 00:27:04,690
We've also had conversations with several of these other participating taxing

285
00:27:04,690 --> 00:27:08,850
or sorry, excuse me, taxing bodies including Parkland, MTD,

286
00:27:09,390 --> 00:27:12,270
the Park District, the School District, and the Forest Preserve,

287
00:27:12,810 --> 00:27:15,810
and we have additional meetings scheduled for the coming weeks.

288
00:27:17,540 --> 00:27:19,880
That concludes my presentation.

289
00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:24,940
Can I very briefly just clarify a point of process as well for this?

290
00:27:25,460 --> 00:27:28,760
So again, this evening was just a discussion-based presentation.

291
00:27:30,120 --> 00:27:34,760
We are not asking and cannot take any action this evening because an action item was

292
00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:36,480
not advertised on the agenda.

293
00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:42,180
So any future action that is the will of the Township Board will occur at a future meeting

294
00:27:42,180 --> 00:27:48,760
of the Township Board, and it will be noticed and advertised as standard, but at this time this

295
00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:50,900
is just an information sharing.

296
00:27:51,940 --> 00:27:52,080
All right.

297
00:27:52,340 --> 00:27:52,540
Thank you.

298
00:27:52,740 --> 00:27:53,480
Are there any questions?

299
00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:55,560
Yes.

300
00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:56,500
Thank you, Olivia.

301
00:27:58,080 --> 00:27:58,860
I have two questions.

302
00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:08,220
One is, I want to make sure I understood this from on a very simple level, we're asking the

303
00:28:08,220 --> 00:28:16,820
taxing bodies to essentially forego two years worth of property tax collection to reimbursed

304
00:28:16,820 --> 00:28:20,120
the owner for building investing in the sanitary.

305
00:28:20,660 --> 00:28:20,680
Sure.

306
00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:21,380
Thank you.

307
00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:22,900
That's a very nice summary.

308
00:28:23,380 --> 00:28:25,520
I apologize if that wasn't explicitly clear.

309
00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:30,120
Your three were back to normal they're paying in normal.

310
00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:30,980
Absolutely.

311
00:28:31,780 --> 00:28:41,700
So then my second question is, and this is my fluid dynamics were learned in 1984, so I take this with a grain of salt.

312
00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:51,940
I would like to know more about how that solution works with the 18-inch pipe and the 10-inch pipe.

313
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:55,340
Are we actually replacing the 10-inch pipe with an 18-inch pipe?

314
00:28:56,120 --> 00:29:01,740
because what I thought you said was, we're having overflow from the 10-inch pipe go into the 18-inch pipe.

315
00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:11,900
And that still means we have a pipe that can't carry the load, trying to feed a pipe that could carry the load.

316
00:29:12,260 --> 00:29:14,700
And I'd just like to understand more about how that works.

317
00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:20,520
I absolutely appreciate that and we'll get the city engineer to be able to answer those questions.

318
00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:25,760
I think perhaps my diagram was misleading that I don't know that it necessarily has to

319
00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:31,620
flow through the 10-inch pipe to get to the 18-inch pipe, but the idea is that we're

320
00:29:31,620 --> 00:29:34,220
not disrupting the current system.

321
00:29:34,500 --> 00:29:39,640
At no point with that, we're not digging it out and removing it because that would increase

322
00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:46,420
cost where there's going to be some way to increase the flow through both the 10-inch pipe

323
00:29:46,420 --> 00:29:47,660
and the 18-inch pipe.

324
00:29:47,660 --> 00:29:50,020
the exact dynamics of that while we'll have to remember.

325
00:29:50,020 --> 00:29:52,300
I'm truly engineers know what they're talking about.

326
00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:53,400
I'm just curious.

327
00:29:53,740 --> 00:29:54,060
Yeah.

328
00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:59,980
Another interesting feature of this particular section of sewer, which...

329
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:09,940
We'll happily share more about when, when, just since when, for it is available, is it also gives us the capacity to reroute and divert other flows in the immediate area.

330
00:30:10,500 --> 00:30:15,920
And there is some particular concern about a sewer main that flows under Carl hospital.

331
00:30:16,580 --> 00:30:23,460
That is actually inaccessible should a challenge or an issue with that sewer line happen.

332
00:30:23,460 --> 00:30:26,700
and there'd be no way of digging it out and fixing it.

333
00:30:26,940 --> 00:30:29,880
So this is something that it's sort of an added public benefit.

334
00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:33,320
That's not adjacent to the CMU area,

335
00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:35,960
but would also serve the city well, I believe.

336
00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:37,460
Thank you.

337
00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:38,620
Yeah, no problem.

338
00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:39,660
Any other questions?

339
00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:41,300
Surries on the end, Dania?

340
00:30:44,780 --> 00:30:48,400
Regarding the new infrastructure for Gregory,

341
00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:50,880
from where to where,

342
00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:53,740
because you said it's approximately 600 something feet.

343
00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:57,140
And also, I think your pictures are upside down

344
00:30:57,140 --> 00:30:57,800
or something.

345
00:31:00,180 --> 00:31:00,860
Here,

346
00:31:03,090 --> 00:31:04,570
Lincoln should actually be east.

347
00:31:04,570 --> 00:31:10,670
I know that it'll follow down Gregory Street here.

348
00:31:12,150 --> 00:31:16,650
So we will, once like the fair gram and others

349
00:31:16,650 --> 00:31:19,350
are working on an actual design,

350
00:31:19,350 --> 00:31:22,230
and I'm happy to ask and share more details.

351
00:31:22,450 --> 00:31:23,790
I don't want to point it out.

352
00:31:23,890 --> 00:31:26,870
I mean, I know for a fact it'll run from Maine to Staten,

353
00:31:27,030 --> 00:31:30,570
but I believe it extends a little bit further on either side.

354
00:31:30,670 --> 00:31:34,030
And I don't know the exact start and stop location at this time.

355
00:31:34,470 --> 00:31:45,390
And is this being re, also re-done in anticipation of the development that's going that is supposed to be there?

356
00:31:45,850 --> 00:31:47,010
Yes, thank you.

357
00:31:47,010 --> 00:31:57,010
It will assist in overall flow for the area as a result of introducing 290 units.

358
00:31:57,150 --> 00:31:59,450
It's a lot more people in the immediate area.

359
00:32:01,130 --> 00:32:09,350
My understanding is that UCSD gave this developer the green light to go ahead and build without necessarily expanding the sewer,

360
00:32:09,850 --> 00:32:16,410
but it doesn't account for any future development that would occur on top of those new 290 units.

361
00:32:16,410 --> 00:32:20,910
So if we don't address this now with this developer, we'll have to address it later with

362
00:32:20,910 --> 00:32:21,770
a future developer.

363
00:32:22,930 --> 00:32:28,210
So we're sort of seizing on the opportunity that this project is situated in the perfect

364
00:32:28,210 --> 00:32:28,850
location.

365
00:32:29,350 --> 00:32:33,430
They're amenable to doing, to assisting us with this.

366
00:32:34,310 --> 00:32:41,150
And it'll assist with the flow that results from these 290 units and will account for future

367
00:32:41,150 --> 00:32:42,090
development as well.

368
00:32:42,090 --> 00:32:52,150
Okay, and regarding taxing bodies and under, James gave a very good explanation of what that was,

369
00:32:52,290 --> 00:33:00,510
but when I'm also interested in, because I'm the location of this new development as well,

370
00:33:00,830 --> 00:33:05,150
even though we're not making any, we're just kind of having a discussion. This is the information thing.

371
00:33:05,150 --> 00:33:10,070
So what I want to understand is, what is U of I putting into it?

372
00:33:10,610 --> 00:33:16,950
Because this is where they will definitely benefit with their housing as well.

373
00:33:17,530 --> 00:33:23,010
Yeah, at this point there is no U of I involvement and it's a private development that has

374
00:33:23,010 --> 00:33:24,450
nothing to do with the university.

375
00:33:24,830 --> 00:33:30,630
I mean, we imagine and can assume that students could potentially live here, but it's not

376
00:33:30,630 --> 00:33:34,950
You have a project that's a private developer who builds multi-family.

377
00:33:36,070 --> 00:33:36,150
Yeah.

378
00:33:36,150 --> 00:33:39,870
Who's going to make money back from you of our students?

379
00:33:40,630 --> 00:33:40,930
Okay.

380
00:33:41,990 --> 00:33:51,630
So I'm just thinking in terms of what their skin in the game is going to be if any.

381
00:33:51,790 --> 00:33:59,410
And it's not that that's already already know that, but I wanted to know if in fact they had

382
00:33:59,410 --> 00:34:05,050
if they even considered possibly putting some skin in that game.

383
00:34:06,730 --> 00:34:13,270
But, okay, you know, that's something that another revenue that you might want to consider.

384
00:34:14,910 --> 00:34:16,450
That's all there are any other questions.

385
00:34:20,420 --> 00:34:20,940
Oh yeah.

386
00:34:22,100 --> 00:34:25,120
So just kind of trying to get everything figured out.

387
00:34:25,860 --> 00:34:31,840
Are we expecting future developers in the area to kind of continue this larger main build out?

388
00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:34,140
as they build further down the road.

389
00:34:34,660 --> 00:34:36,960
My understanding from talking to the engineers

390
00:34:36,960 --> 00:34:38,940
is if we can solve this now,

391
00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:41,760
we won't have to burden future developers

392
00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:44,320
with expanded sewer expansion.

393
00:34:45,060 --> 00:34:48,720
Okay, so this, even though there's only in this finite area,

394
00:34:49,060 --> 00:34:51,960
we won't need to build it out down a line at all, you don't think.

395
00:34:52,240 --> 00:34:55,680
I mean, I think probably in 20, 30, 50 years,

396
00:34:55,920 --> 00:34:58,980
yeah, the sewer system is definitely going to need to be revisited.

397
00:34:59,080 --> 00:35:01,300
But for this, for the immediate future,

398
00:35:01,300 --> 00:35:06,400
I think in the next 10 years for the CMU area, nothing else will need to be done.

399
00:35:07,040 --> 00:35:12,220
So this is definitely being proactive for future build-out in the area.

400
00:35:17,580 --> 00:35:27,460
I guess I also would like to share that we did receive a letter of support and official letters

401
00:35:27,460 --> 00:35:33,360
of support from Parkland College today, and we've had positive conversations with other taxing

402
00:35:33,360 --> 00:35:37,120
bodies, although, but

403
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:47,060
I hope we look, we are still awaiting to receive letters of support

404
00:35:47,060 --> 00:35:51,240
from the other taxing bodies, because we're at this early stage now, so we're just starting

405
00:35:51,240 --> 00:35:55,800
these conversations with everyone, but I am happy to report that we did get a letter of support

406
00:35:55,800 --> 00:35:59,140
from Parkland today. Chris,

407
00:36:02,560 --> 00:36:06,140
you know, like we always say in World Two, it's all going on in

408
00:36:07,640 --> 00:36:13,100
This is a high rise that's going to be west of Lincoln, right?

409
00:36:13,840 --> 00:36:14,080
Yes.

410
00:36:14,600 --> 00:36:14,640
Yeah.

411
00:36:14,640 --> 00:36:15,560
I mean, I'm looking at the map.

412
00:36:15,880 --> 00:36:17,640
That's what it appears to be.

413
00:36:18,620 --> 00:36:28,320
My question is the 1.3 million cost for the sewage repair,

414
00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:32,220
or whatever calling it,

415
00:36:32,220 --> 00:36:43,260
improvement is an estimate correct and if the price is higher will the tax abatement need

416
00:36:43,260 --> 00:36:50,720
to be extended for in terms of time like third year or fourth year it's a good question

417
00:36:50,720 --> 00:36:57,380
because we don't have the actual known costs right now we are in the process of drafting an

418
00:36:57,380 --> 00:37:06,380
improvement agreement and we're working, we're work shopping with this city attorney how best to craft that language at this stage without the known cost.

419
00:37:07,460 --> 00:37:12,280
I'm inclined to, the 1.3 is a high estimate.

420
00:37:12,560 --> 00:37:15,680
I'm inclined to cap this up two years.

421
00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:21,900
So we've been socializing two years maximum with all the taxing bodies.

422
00:37:21,900 --> 00:37:29,960
I really don't foresee this expanding beyond that, and I think that it would, our proposal is...

423
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:31,920
For no more than two years.

424
00:37:32,020 --> 00:37:39,560
Good. And we can get, that would be something that would be in writing and be a firm. You get two years. That's all you're getting.

425
00:37:39,840 --> 00:37:46,240
That would be in the improvement agreement, which would function similar to a redevelopment agreement.

426
00:37:46,420 --> 00:37:58,380
That would be a brought to city council for approval and approved with resolution. And then each taxing body would receive a template that they would then

427
00:37:58,380 --> 00:38:03,360
for that would codify that tax, the terms of the tax abatement, that they would then approve

428
00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:08,220
at each of their boards. So each taxing body would have to

429
00:38:08,980 --> 00:38:15,520
approve the same language and the idea is that everybody offers at this stage a letter of support,

430
00:38:15,540 --> 00:38:22,920
even though we know that to the terms are still a little bit loose, city council votes on an agreement

431
00:38:22,920 --> 00:38:28,920
with set terms and then all that's supporting taxing bodies would adopt the same language.

432
00:38:29,480 --> 00:38:34,110
The public benefit is improved sewage for the entire area.

433
00:38:34,520 --> 00:38:35,260
For the area.

434
00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:41,220
I think actually extending beyond the CMU area and I'll talk to the engineers about those values.

435
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:48,460
There's no low income housing and benefits at all.

436
00:38:48,500 --> 00:38:50,460
I mean they're going to accept vouchers.

437
00:38:50,460 --> 00:38:57,420
they're going to. Well, this has actually nothing to do with the development itself. So it's a completely

438
00:38:57,420 --> 00:39:05,320
by-right development. They're just building by the standards of the code. So I suppose we could

439
00:39:05,320 --> 00:39:10,000
we can always have a wish list, but they have no obligation to listen to us or there's even

440
00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:16,460
there's no way to regulate that. It's private. And that's one reason why we're able to tax it with

441
00:39:16,460 --> 00:39:20,820
property taxes, because it's not involved, it's not a unit of U of I project,

442
00:39:23,320 --> 00:39:24,660
and again,

443
00:39:24,880 --> 00:39:30,920
the public benefit here is you're going to improve our sewage system in general.

444
00:39:31,700 --> 00:39:37,560
Oh, I wanted to ask one last question, and I thank everybody's patients who are parking 600

445
00:39:37,560 --> 00:39:44,460
people look to be coming in here, where are they, I mean, I don't see any parking, but it's

446
00:39:46,300 --> 00:39:58,580
I think when this comes forward to the council, we can have more of the building plans available, but at this stage, again, they will just build what they're required to build.

447
00:39:59,340 --> 00:40:05,540
So there is parking, there I know for a fact there will be parking offered on site, but I wouldn't be able to speak to the exact number of spaces.

448
00:40:05,540 --> 00:40:08,900
Okay, thank you. Super buzzer. Did you have fun?

449
00:40:09,540 --> 00:40:13,400
Yeah, so I just, I had one question that I had his statement.

450
00:40:14,960 --> 00:40:19,020
Did you see in the presentation that the, it's,

451
00:40:19,020 --> 00:40:22,920
uh, increment is abated or is it the whole amount abated?

452
00:40:23,080 --> 00:40:27,380
I thought it's originally when we spoke, it was the whole amount abated for up to two years.

453
00:40:27,800 --> 00:40:31,840
So the increment over the baseline assessed value in this,

454
00:40:31,840 --> 00:40:34,760
in that whichever tax year we accept the agreement.

455
00:40:34,760 --> 00:40:38,820
So it would function the same way as enterprise zone that your baseline has helped

456
00:40:38,820 --> 00:40:43,540
consistent and then only the increment is abated for up to two years.

457
00:40:44,380 --> 00:40:46,080
I just want to speak.

458
00:40:46,940 --> 00:40:52,980
My understanding is I wanted you to be aware of this because we won't have a chance to have

459
00:40:52,980 --> 00:40:55,560
a time board meeting before I prepare a letter.

460
00:40:56,500 --> 00:40:58,820
So I wanted to hear from the town board on end.

461
00:40:58,840 --> 00:41:02,160
It will have the action part will be after the city council.

462
00:41:02,160 --> 00:41:09,340
you address it in early October and we'll do a resolution, but I want to speak in support

463
00:41:09,340 --> 00:41:15,180
of this project. One, I'm glad to see a maximum of two year abatements back when I was

464
00:41:15,180 --> 00:41:22,540
on City Council. There's a lot of tenure and asked for studies, what do we get for ten years?

465
00:41:23,880 --> 00:41:30,300
And honestly, I think it's important to be prudent. Our portion of this is very small.

466
00:41:32,780 --> 00:41:36,700
But the abatement, actually, we won't see anything abated.

467
00:41:37,280 --> 00:41:42,500
But we will see an increase of about $57,000 a year in tax base,

468
00:41:43,200 --> 00:41:46,240
which is significant for a small organization, like ours,

469
00:41:46,620 --> 00:41:49,280
where 2.8% of the tax base.

470
00:41:51,460 --> 00:41:54,640
I support housing development at all price points in Urbana.

471
00:41:56,180 --> 00:42:00,220
My, I would like to prepare a letter that's similar to this template

472
00:42:00,220 --> 00:42:09,160
to speak to Councilman Evans, I want to be clear that fair housing is a requirement of

473
00:42:09,160 --> 00:42:15,520
all regardless of whether it's public private, etc. So they must abide by fair housing rules.

474
00:42:16,260 --> 00:42:22,620
They must treat all applicants the same. They must not advertise as student housing as though

475
00:42:22,620 --> 00:42:28,000
it's exclusive. They must take vouchers if there are private apartments. These do look like

476
00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:32,840
Apartments which are shared in vouchers usually aren't applied in those cases.

477
00:42:33,500 --> 00:42:35,900
They must take rental assistance.

478
00:42:36,520 --> 00:42:39,780
So if somebody, whether a student or not request rental assistance,

479
00:42:40,140 --> 00:42:43,040
they're required to take rental assistance as a form of payment.

480
00:42:44,360 --> 00:42:46,600
So I just want to be clear about those pieces.

481
00:42:47,220 --> 00:42:52,220
I think this is close to campus and it's going to elevate

482
00:42:52,220 --> 00:42:59,180
and there are four room spaces so it's going to be less expensive than a private one-bedroom apartment.

483
00:43:00,340 --> 00:43:08,520
All of the housing at Bradley and Lincoln and at University and Lincoln has

484
00:43:08,520 --> 00:43:13,640
partit local residents living there because it's affordable, especially to people with disabilities.

485
00:43:14,100 --> 00:43:19,040
They're oftentimes looking for housing with a newer functioning elevator.

486
00:43:20,040 --> 00:43:26,640
And so my intention is to basically use this template and we've spoken about this and just

487
00:43:26,640 --> 00:43:32,600
add a piece around how important it is if township is abating, and I would also say this

488
00:43:32,600 --> 00:43:39,320
about the city, but I speak for township that essentially we can't have fair housing violations

489
00:43:40,080 --> 00:43:44,620
and I will provide some resources around that because I think there's a lot of misunderstanding.

490
00:43:44,620 --> 00:43:56,060
I mean, I've heard elected officials, city staff members, all kinds of people put out wrong information around this.

491
00:43:56,260 --> 00:43:59,760
Source of income discrimination is illegal throughout the state of Illinois.

492
00:44:00,380 --> 00:44:03,800
You cannot not take about your or accept rental assistance,

493
00:44:04,000 --> 00:44:10,160
except court-based rental assistance for reasons I don't understand if you are a landlord in town.

494
00:44:10,160 --> 00:44:18,260
You can not advertise for an exclusive type of person, including based on student status just along with race, age, etc.

495
00:44:20,100 --> 00:44:23,140
And, and I really think that this will be a nice amenity.

496
00:44:23,320 --> 00:44:26,500
And I will just share, I speak with students all the time.

497
00:44:26,940 --> 00:44:29,120
I am a field instructor for students.

498
00:44:29,780 --> 00:44:38,000
And students want to end benefit from being in the community with others living in spaces with community members.

499
00:44:38,000 --> 00:44:44,140
and we have helped people move into all kinds of cloud-based housing very successfully.

500
00:44:44,940 --> 00:44:52,880
So I would think that this may also be a place for residents to access of affordable housing

501
00:44:52,880 --> 00:44:59,560
because cloud housing is more affordable than individual housing regardless of their student status.

502
00:45:00,110 --> 00:45:05,630
But I just want to say, I support the, and I will, I hope to prepare a letter of support.

503
00:45:06,390 --> 00:45:25,730
First, thank you for the reminder of what fair housing is about. I would, I'm, what am I about to say is I'm hoping that I am completely wrong about what I'm about to say. The way the game has played, though, is they raised the price of the rent so high, the voucher doesn't cover it, and then the voucher is useless.

504
00:45:25,730 --> 00:45:30,190
And so that is how they do the discrimination through pricing.

505
00:45:31,170 --> 00:45:36,730
And so I don't know yet how we've ever been able to.

506
00:45:37,750 --> 00:45:42,470
Because it's the private enterprise doing free enterprise

507
00:45:42,470 --> 00:45:48,050
and they are allowed to set a price wherever they want.

508
00:45:48,650 --> 00:45:54,530
But that is how they keep poor folks out of these new complexes.

509
00:45:54,530 --> 00:45:57,950
but maybe you could address saying trees go ahead too.

510
00:46:00,270 --> 00:46:02,970
What I'm going to say is this real simple,

511
00:46:04,530 --> 00:46:06,810
because there's no, we're not making any really decisions

512
00:46:07,070 --> 00:46:07,990
or anything tonight.

513
00:46:08,410 --> 00:46:10,510
This basically just, you know,

514
00:46:10,710 --> 00:46:13,470
but as we negotiate with these people,

515
00:46:13,890 --> 00:46:17,530
because we will have to eventually finalize

516
00:46:18,130 --> 00:46:20,650
flats and so on and so forth,

517
00:46:21,990 --> 00:46:48,030
Something comes to mind is, you have not because you ask not, so we need to make sure that we ask when developers want to build buildings and there's no real skin off of them to have a percentage of units that will be kept at an affordable pricing.

518
00:46:48,030 --> 00:46:58,630
And many metropolitan areas do this with their developments and new things that new buildings and

519
00:46:58,630 --> 00:47:03,210
PUDs and such that are built up.

520
00:47:03,350 --> 00:47:09,890
I don't think it's too much for us to ask the same thing of them.

521
00:47:10,270 --> 00:47:15,730
And so if we don't ask, and if we don't put it out there, then yeah, I don't see that happening.

522
00:47:17,130 --> 00:47:24,890
Nobody's just going, people don't, that compassion, gene is not in everybody's thing, okay?

523
00:47:24,890 --> 00:47:27,470
So this is, this is, put it where it is.

524
00:47:28,290 --> 00:47:34,790
And so we need to knock on the door so it will be open and we need to ask so we can get what we want.

525
00:47:35,650 --> 00:47:45,710
And if we're not going to ask for it and if we're not going to not only not ask for it but make sure it is documented and put in some kind of policy that we have.

526
00:47:45,710 --> 00:47:53,410
have regarding that. Then I think it's really important for us to start doing that regarding

527
00:47:54,490 --> 00:48:00,450
these developers. Mainly because we've cut off a process where they used to have to

528
00:48:00,450 --> 00:48:07,390
do a final plat and all that and that used to have to come through City Council and now we

529
00:48:07,390 --> 00:48:13,390
seem to be doing preliminary and final plats at the same time based on it saves them

530
00:48:13,390 --> 00:48:22,410
money. But then we have no more say about something. So, get it going in at the first step.

531
00:48:23,150 --> 00:48:25,270
So that's what I would ask you to do.

532
00:48:27,540 --> 00:48:32,000
I also just remind that we are here tonight as the Township Board, not as the City Council

533
00:48:32,000 --> 00:48:35,640
too. And we're going to talk about this again as the City Council at a future meeting.

534
00:48:36,660 --> 00:48:46,980
So what I guess I appreciate Councilman Hershey's statement and I'm happy to include that in my letter.

535
00:48:47,380 --> 00:48:54,480
I mean that's why I brought it to the town board because I wanted your input on my letter that I'll be putting forward.

536
00:48:54,480 --> 00:49:01,940
And so, if there are requests other than the fair housing clarification, which I basically

537
00:49:01,940 --> 00:49:05,960
message the in-laws every chance I get, and here's a chance to do it.

538
00:49:07,080 --> 00:49:13,680
I certainly could request multiple things.

539
00:49:14,460 --> 00:49:22,080
We regularly rent spaces, and help people into spaces, and we have really good relationships

540
00:49:22,080 --> 00:49:26,740
with some of the quad spaces, I call it quad because they're thinking of four individual

541
00:49:26,740 --> 00:49:31,840
bedrooms rented by the room, so that's what I mean by quad, which by the way, Councilman

542
00:49:31,840 --> 00:49:38,360
Evans vouchers can't be applied to because you have to have a private unit. But at least housing

543
00:49:38,360 --> 00:49:44,960
authority vouchers, but I certainly could talk, you know, I certainly could reach out to them

544
00:49:45,460 --> 00:49:50,280
and share some of our programs. They're really good relationship with landlords. They like to collect

545
00:49:50,280 --> 00:49:57,360
our money we move folks into housing. I could also ask for affordability standard. I do

546
00:49:57,360 --> 00:50:01,580
want to encourage you as you go forward and think big or picture that there's a lot of tools

547
00:50:01,580 --> 00:50:09,500
that cities across the country use to look at affordability requirements. And so you might want

548
00:50:09,500 --> 00:50:14,880
to kind of have like an even, this is what we're going to do with landlords who come in, who request

549
00:50:14,880 --> 00:50:20,020
things of us at tax statements, et cetera, to have a kind of schedule or standard.

550
00:50:20,980 --> 00:50:23,060
So I think you could consider that.

551
00:50:23,380 --> 00:50:26,740
But it's happy that added if it's the will of the townport is added.

552
00:50:26,880 --> 00:50:30,580
A note about affordable units, accessibility units.

553
00:50:31,100 --> 00:50:31,320
James.

554
00:50:32,920 --> 00:50:32,940
Yeah.

555
00:50:34,020 --> 00:50:37,740
I just want to say, I think this is a good idea.

556
00:50:38,820 --> 00:50:41,900
They don't have any objection to the concept.

557
00:50:41,900 --> 00:50:45,800
I want to be very careful that the language of the letter

558
00:50:45,800 --> 00:50:51,040
not imply an action that we can't take at this point.

559
00:50:51,220 --> 00:50:55,020
There's something in here about I and the Board

560
00:50:55,020 --> 00:50:57,640
remain fully committed to advancing this project.

561
00:50:59,060 --> 00:51:00,880
I don't have anything to vote on tonight,

562
00:51:01,160 --> 00:51:04,420
so I'm not sure I could stand behind that language.

563
00:51:05,540 --> 00:51:06,360
I don't have any objections.

564
00:51:06,800 --> 00:51:07,820
I think it's a good idea.

565
00:51:08,120 --> 00:51:09,060
That's as far as I can go.

566
00:51:09,060 --> 00:51:14,160
Yes, so it is my understanding of this process that traditionally, as we've seen it with our

567
00:51:14,160 --> 00:51:19,080
boards and commissions as well as this, or as well as the city council that the mechanism,

568
00:51:19,600 --> 00:51:25,200
the action item that you would take would be passing a resolution in support of an item,

569
00:51:25,240 --> 00:51:30,100
a resolution in support of the supervisor sending a letter. So at this junction, if the supervisor

570
00:51:30,100 --> 00:51:33,560
would send a letter, it would just be on behalf of the supervisor speaking to the township,

571
00:51:33,560 --> 00:51:37,080
but would not be on behalf of the township board, because this board has not authorized

572
00:51:37,080 --> 00:51:39,000
is taking such an action.

573
00:51:39,240 --> 00:51:41,000
So if that is the desire of the Timeship Board

574
00:51:41,000 --> 00:51:43,200
to send a letter as the Timeship Board

575
00:51:43,200 --> 00:51:44,240
and the Supervisor jointly,

576
00:51:44,840 --> 00:51:46,240
I would recommend that that be an action item

577
00:51:46,240 --> 00:51:48,460
at a future meeting of this Timeship Board.

578
00:51:48,540 --> 00:51:51,520
Either a special meeting this month, like on Monday,

579
00:51:51,700 --> 00:51:52,980
when we have like another Council meeting

580
00:51:52,980 --> 00:51:55,900
or at the regular meeting of the Timeship Board in October.

581
00:51:56,500 --> 00:51:56,720
Thank you.

582
00:51:56,740 --> 00:51:59,800
That's the clarification I was looking for.

583
00:52:00,100 --> 00:52:00,420
All right.

584
00:52:01,360 --> 00:52:02,700
There is no further discussion.

585
00:52:03,540 --> 00:52:04,580
My closing point.

586
00:52:05,260 --> 00:52:05,840
That's okay.

587
00:52:05,840 --> 00:52:11,060
And my closing point is just to remind the Township Board as I am reminding all taxing

588
00:52:11,060 --> 00:52:16,520
bodies that this is actually a unique position where we have made a request of the developer.

589
00:52:16,740 --> 00:52:20,480
The developer has not made a request for a tax abatement.

590
00:52:21,120 --> 00:52:25,920
We asked them to build the sewer on our behalf because they can do it more efficiently.

591
00:52:26,420 --> 00:52:28,240
They can do it at a lower cost.

592
00:52:29,100 --> 00:52:29,980
And we have to pay the...

593
00:52:30,000 --> 00:52:36,880
For that work, we think you're not just going to do it for free, so that's why we're suggesting the proposal for the tax agreement.

594
00:52:37,620 --> 00:52:38,640
Thank you so much.

595
00:52:38,640 --> 00:52:39,640
Thank you so much.

596
00:52:39,720 --> 00:52:52,140
All right, at this time, we'll move to new business ordinance number 2026-09-001, an ordinance approving the revised annual budget, an appropriation ordinance fiscal year 2025-2026.

597
00:52:53,640 --> 00:52:54,720
I'd like to move approval.

598
00:52:57,680 --> 00:53:02,040
Second, second by her, see, say any discussion.

599
00:53:03,380 --> 00:53:05,220
Seeing none, click, we please call the roll.

Thank you.

611
00:53:18,620 --> 00:53:21,640
Next, we have ordinance number,

Seeing no further business before this body this meeting is adjourn. Thank you

We will allow for a five minute recess for folks to transition and then we'll come back for the urbanicity council. Thank you

621
00:59:26,080 --> 00:59:29,360

00:59:49,960 --> 00:59:50,980
I'm from our Cocurell.

632
00:59:51,000 --> 00:59:51,200
Here.

633
00:59:51,660 --> 00:59:51,800
Here.

634
00:59:52,100 --> 00:59:55,360
Thank you.

635
00:59:55,560 --> 00:59:55,880
All right.

636
00:59:56,200 --> 00:59:57,120
Thank you.

637
00:59:58,020 --> 00:59:58,640
All right.

638
00:59:58,760 --> 00:59:59,980
We will move on to...

639
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:12,960
To approve of the minutes from previous meetings, August 24th, 2026 City Council meeting, as well as September 8th, 2026 Committee of the Whole.

640
01:00:13,080 --> 01:00:15,020
I'm going to take the motion to approve the minutes.

641
01:00:16,320 --> 01:00:17,480
Move to approve the minutes.

642
01:00:18,780 --> 01:00:19,140
Second.

643
01:00:19,920 --> 01:00:22,500
I should be second by Jones.

644
01:00:23,080 --> 01:00:24,540
All those in favour? Say aye.

645
01:00:25,740 --> 01:00:26,220
Aye. All the polls.

646
01:00:26,340 --> 01:00:26,700
Aye.

647
01:00:26,700 --> 01:00:28,340
Thank you.

648
01:00:28,700 --> 01:00:29,700
All the polls.

649
01:00:29,960 --> 01:00:30,100
All right.

650
01:00:30,220 --> 01:00:31,820
The eyes have a meeting stand approved.

651
01:00:32,840 --> 01:00:34,600
Next, we have additions to agenda.

652
01:00:35,020 --> 01:00:36,000
Is there any additions?

653
01:00:36,480 --> 01:00:36,980
Sing in here.

654
01:00:37,280 --> 01:00:40,480
We will move on to presentations and public input.

655
01:00:40,540 --> 01:00:44,080
At this time, we are not ready for public input.

656
01:00:44,460 --> 01:00:48,240
You may come to the microphone states your name, city, and you have five minutes.

657
01:00:49,480 --> 01:00:49,920
Come on up.

658
01:00:50,040 --> 01:00:50,500
The floor's yours.

659
01:00:50,620 --> 01:00:51,200
You've been waiting.

660
01:00:51,560 --> 01:00:52,040
This is your moment.

661
01:00:57,800 --> 01:01:02,140
You PTV, I'm not sure that the public in but Mike is on, at least I'm not hearing it through

662
01:01:02,140 --> 01:01:03,540
the speakers in Chambers.

663
01:01:28,650 --> 01:01:30,910
That's the public to bear with us for one brief moment.

664
01:01:31,170 --> 01:01:32,090
Thank you.

665
01:01:35,610 --> 01:01:36,630
All right, you should be good to go.

666
01:01:37,190 --> 01:01:37,570
Testing.

667
01:01:37,610 --> 01:01:37,990
There you go.

668
01:01:38,130 --> 01:01:38,310
Beautiful.

669
01:01:39,230 --> 01:01:39,970
Good evening, everybody.

670
01:01:41,050 --> 01:01:43,550
Let me just pull up my public comment.

671
01:01:45,390 --> 01:01:45,690
All right.

672
01:01:45,830 --> 01:01:46,610
Good evening, everybody.

673
01:01:47,130 --> 01:01:48,370
My name is Megan Tofala.

674
01:01:48,570 --> 01:01:53,510
I first moved to Champagne or Bannon 2021 to complete my undergraduate degree at the University

675
01:01:53,510 --> 01:01:57,210
Illinois, and I recently moved back to start graduate school at the

676
01:01:57,210 --> 01:02:01,010
C. University. Um, and so because I just moved back, I'm still learning

677
01:02:01,010 --> 01:02:05,170
about services offered and policies discussed by urbanist city officials.

678
01:02:05,650 --> 01:02:09,670
However, one of the ideas I remember was an idea proposed by a formal

679
01:02:09,670 --> 01:02:13,930
former council member Grace Wilkins at the last committee of the whole meeting.

680
01:02:14,510 --> 01:02:18,070
She proposed fruit trees along a certain road in urbanna, and I wanted to

681
01:02:18,070 --> 01:02:22,710
publicly say that I like this idea because I support the principle of it.

682
01:02:22,710 --> 01:02:26,530
I believe that food and other necessities of life should be accessible for everybody.

683
01:02:27,230 --> 01:02:31,210
I've heard that the city of Urbana has services that move towards the principle, and I hope

684
01:02:31,210 --> 01:02:32,170
those services continue.

685
01:02:32,770 --> 01:02:33,390
Thank you all.

686
01:02:35,690 --> 01:02:35,870
All right.

687
01:02:36,130 --> 01:02:40,170
Are there any other members in the audience wishing to speak to the council?

688
01:02:41,530 --> 01:02:42,090
Seeing none.

689
01:02:42,150 --> 01:02:42,690
Mr. Kosenberg.

690
01:02:42,850 --> 01:02:43,610
The floor's yours.

691
01:02:44,830 --> 01:02:44,950
Yes.

692
01:02:46,730 --> 01:02:52,090
Dear Mayor Williams, Urbana City Council members and city staff, my name is Sarah Nixon, and

693
01:02:52,090 --> 01:02:57,370
and the BANA taxpayer and the operator of a local miniature therapy horse program.

694
01:02:58,070 --> 01:03:03,210
I explicitly request that this statement be read allowed into the official public record

695
01:03:03,210 --> 01:03:06,370
during the public input portion of tonight's City Council meeting.

696
01:03:07,170 --> 01:03:12,550
Just days ago, a horrific predatory incident occurred in the historic Western BANA neighborhood.

697
01:03:13,250 --> 01:03:20,090
Three Huskies and or Husky mixes, large high-pray drive animals were being walked directly

698
01:03:20,090 --> 01:03:22,150
the opposite-leal elementary school.

699
01:03:22,750 --> 01:03:25,390
According to reliable eyewitness statements,

700
01:03:26,150 --> 01:03:28,430
the elderly handler had these three dogs

701
01:03:28,430 --> 01:03:29,890
tethered to her person,

702
01:03:30,490 --> 01:03:32,710
because she completely lacked the physical counterweight

703
01:03:32,710 --> 01:03:35,270
to control their collective mass.

704
01:03:35,630 --> 01:03:38,710
The pack lunched, pulled her entirely off her feet,

705
01:03:38,990 --> 01:03:41,590
and dragged her across the ground for five to six feet.

706
01:03:42,250 --> 01:03:44,070
The handler tried to stop them,

707
01:03:44,090 --> 01:03:45,790
but she was entirely overpowered.

708
01:03:45,990 --> 01:03:48,230
The dogs invaded a private front yard

709
01:03:48,230 --> 01:03:50,790
and brutally killed a beloved neighborhood pet cat.

710
01:03:51,750 --> 01:03:53,850
This terrifying event was witnessed firsthand

711
01:03:53,850 --> 01:03:57,390
by an elementary school teacher from her classroom window

712
01:03:57,390 --> 01:03:59,950
as her young students were preparing for class.

713
01:04:00,370 --> 01:04:01,710
While the quick thinking teacher,

714
01:04:01,930 --> 01:04:04,190
she oldered her students from seeing the direct violence,

715
01:04:04,730 --> 01:04:08,030
the children heard the commotion and heard her calling out

716
01:04:08,030 --> 01:04:12,310
the window to check if the drag handler was severely injured.

717
01:04:12,990 --> 01:04:15,010
I'm not writing to demonize an older resident

718
01:04:15,010 --> 01:04:16,630
who was clearly out of her depth

719
01:04:16,630 --> 01:04:18,070
and potentially injured.

720
01:04:18,070 --> 01:04:21,950
I'm writing because this was a catastrophic mechanical failure

721
01:04:21,950 --> 01:04:23,930
of physical restraint occurring directly

722
01:04:23,930 --> 01:04:26,330
on the doorstep of a primary school.

723
01:04:27,130 --> 01:04:29,490
Our current municipal ordinances allow individuals

724
01:04:29,490 --> 01:04:33,210
to bring powerful predatory packs into a high traffic

725
01:04:33,210 --> 01:04:36,930
public spaces without possessing the physical capability

726
01:04:36,930 --> 01:04:39,970
to restrain them if they're hunting instinct triggers.

727
01:04:40,630 --> 01:04:43,650
As an independent researcher, I know the science here.

728
01:04:44,150 --> 01:04:47,030
While solitary loose dog might roam out of curiosity,

729
01:04:47,030 --> 01:04:50,930
the moment, the predator breeds form a pack.

730
01:04:51,250 --> 01:04:55,350
They're instinctual, kill, drive, triggers, and clicks on.

731
01:04:55,650 --> 01:04:57,770
They operate as a coordinated hunting unit.

732
01:04:58,530 --> 01:05:01,390
My own years-long research reveals a sobering fact.

733
01:05:01,570 --> 01:05:05,310
Canine attacks are the number one cause of a natural death

734
01:05:05,310 --> 01:05:07,130
for miniature horses nationwide.

735
01:05:07,790 --> 01:05:10,690
When my program operated on a urban farm

736
01:05:10,690 --> 01:05:12,350
within the city limits of Urbana,

737
01:05:12,350 --> 01:05:19,970
We re-recurringly face terrifying incidents of loose, powerful predator breeds, specifically

738
01:05:19,970 --> 01:05:23,790
pitbull and husky breeds, roaming the property unrestrained.

739
01:05:24,250 --> 01:05:26,030
The margin of safety was razor thin.

740
01:05:26,750 --> 01:05:32,590
When an irresponsible handler allows an animal pack to drag them into private yards, the

741
01:05:32,590 --> 01:05:36,730
victims are left without virtually no immediate systematic support.

742
01:05:36,730 --> 01:05:38,150
systemic support.

743
01:05:38,610 --> 01:05:41,550
Code enforcement behaves reactively rather than proactively.

744
01:05:42,350 --> 01:05:47,290
On our front line animal control wardens, our front line animal control wardens are wonderful,

745
01:05:47,790 --> 01:05:53,090
deeply dedicated public servants, but our legal framework leaves them underfunded and structurally

746
01:05:53,090 --> 01:05:53,510
limited.

747
01:05:54,190 --> 01:05:59,430
We cannot wait for a child outside one of our schools to be severely injured or killed before

748
01:05:59,430 --> 01:06:04,390
we treat handler of physical incapacity as a severe public safety threat.

749
01:06:04,390 --> 01:06:09,070
And formally asking this Council to initiate three actions.

750
01:06:10,050 --> 01:06:15,170
Direct their Banner Police Department an animal control to aggressively pursue this investigation.

751
01:06:15,410 --> 01:06:19,870
Review local security footage to identify the handler and the true owners.

752
01:06:20,470 --> 01:06:27,950
Hold them accountable under a Banner Code section 4-28 and pursue formal dangerous or vicious animal classifications.

753
01:06:27,950 --> 01:06:33,030
evaluate and update our municipal code to explicitly address handler physical

754
01:06:33,030 --> 01:06:35,370
restraint capabilities and owner responsibility.

755
01:06:36,210 --> 01:06:40,630
The city should amend its ordinances to hold owners to a much higher standard of

756
01:06:40,630 --> 01:06:44,950
accountability and legal liability when they choose to harbor a high parade

757
01:06:44,950 --> 01:06:50,130
drive or powerful predator breeds but fail to maintain constant absolute

758
01:06:50,130 --> 01:06:55,210
physical control over them in public spaces, including the dangerous practice of

759
01:06:55,210 --> 01:07:02,410
multiplarge animals to a person's waste, establish an automated local registry so that animal

760
01:07:02,410 --> 01:07:07,870
attack data is better documented and compiled. Thank you for your leadership and your immediate

761
01:07:07,870 --> 01:07:12,530
attention to this critical community safety manner. Since here early, Sarah Nixon.

762
01:07:15,060 --> 01:07:15,600
All right, thank you,

763
01:07:15,780 --> 01:07:22,760
James. All right. Seeing in hearing no further public input, we will now move on to council and put

764
01:07:22,760 --> 01:07:26,300
communication. Any members of Council? Chris?

765
01:07:28,660 --> 01:07:29,180
Thank you, Mayor.

766
01:07:30,660 --> 01:07:59,860
With regards to last Saturdays, bizarre, bizarre, or banner arts and music festival, with regards to the artists and musicians and DJs that played music and showed their art, with regards to the various civic organizations that tabled the event, and with regards to the businesses that sold delicious food and drink,

767
01:08:00,660 --> 01:08:10,760
And with guards to the hundreds upon hundreds, upon hundreds of people and families who came out to enjoy the festival.

768
01:08:11,940 --> 01:08:28,280
And with regards to the Urbana Arts and Culture Commission investing 15,000 of your tax dollars on this feel-good programming in regards to all that,

769
01:08:34,520 --> 01:08:35,760
thank you for letting me speak.

770
01:08:38,060 --> 01:08:42,520
We're going to frame that image for you Chris. That was good. Thank you, sir.

771
01:08:42,620 --> 01:08:47,180
Are there any members of any other council members wishing to speak?

772
01:08:48,740 --> 01:08:53,080
All right. Seeing none. Reports are standing committee, which there aren't any.

773
01:08:53,200 --> 01:08:57,600
So we will move on to the committee of the whole council members to raise the floor's doors.

774
01:08:58,340 --> 01:09:02,420
Okay, come from the committee of the hall for moving for approval.

775
01:09:02,420 --> 01:09:13,140
From the consent agenda, a resolution number of 2026-09-04-48R, a resolution authorizing the execution

776
01:09:13,140 --> 01:09:19,380
of an Urbana home consortium of subrecipient agreement, designating courage, connection as

777
01:09:19,380 --> 01:09:26,160
a subrecipient of home program funds for tenant-based rental assistance FY2027,

778
01:09:28,740 --> 01:09:29,600
coming to you

779
01:09:29,600 --> 01:09:31,400
for approval.

780
01:09:32,360 --> 01:09:33,260
Oh, consent agenda.

781
01:09:33,400 --> 01:09:34,560
I've got 21 more.

782
01:09:35,320 --> 01:09:37,340
Resolution number 2026.

783
01:09:37,800 --> 01:09:38,600
Day 0-9.

784
01:09:38,800 --> 01:09:39,600
Day 0-4-9.

785
01:09:39,780 --> 01:09:46,200
Our resolution of proving an intergovernmental agreement for animal control services for your approval.

786
01:09:47,600 --> 01:09:47,860
All right.

787
01:09:48,100 --> 01:09:48,980
Motion made by Cherices.

788
01:09:49,220 --> 01:09:49,560
There are second.

789
01:09:54,230 --> 01:09:55,810
Is the consent agenda young?

790
01:09:56,270 --> 01:09:56,990
I second.

791
01:09:57,450 --> 01:09:57,630
All right.

792
01:09:57,890 --> 01:09:58,510
Motion made by Cherices.

793
01:09:58,730 --> 01:09:59,210
Second by Cherices.

794
01:10:00,230 --> 01:10:01,290
All right.

795
01:10:02,550 --> 01:10:07,330
any further discussion, no discussion, I'm sorry, clerk, go ahead, call the roll, please.

796
01:10:07,510 --> 01:10:08,570
I want to remember will.

797
01:10:10,170 --> 01:10:10,270
Yes.

798
01:10:11,390 --> 01:10:12,070
Councilmember Adams?

799
01:10:12,850 --> 01:10:13,690
Councilmember Hersey?

800
01:10:14,610 --> 01:10:15,230
Councilmember Jones?

801
01:10:15,290 --> 01:10:15,690
Yes.

802
01:10:17,630 --> 01:10:18,770
Councilmember Quysenbury?

803
01:10:20,670 --> 01:10:30,310
