[2:24] All right, we will go ahead and get started. I will first start with the notice of public hearing of the
[2:47] Trustee Hersey, here, Trustee Jones, here, Trustee Cockrell, here, Trustee Quizzonberry,
[2:53] here, Mayor Williams, here, Supervisor Chennai, President, SSR O'WANA, here. Thank you.
[2:59] All right, thank you. So first I will read the notice of the hearing. So the Cunningham Township,
[3:07] I'm sorry, the Cunningham Township urban Illinois will hold a public hearing at 630 pm on Monday, September 14,
[3:13] to receive public input on the revised F5 2025 through 2026 annual budget and the draft FY-2026
[3:22] through 2027 annual budget. This meeting will be held at 400 South Five Street or
[3:28] Van Eyelanoi. Public input can also be provided via email to citychloricadderbandio.gov.
[3:35] All interest is citizens and organizations are encouraged to attend persons attending the hearing
[3:40] have the right to provide written and oral comments and suggestions regarding the proposal's annual budget.
[3:48] At this time, is there any members of the public question to speak?
[3:51] If so, you may come to the microphone, you have five minutes.
[3:55] Sing and hearing none.
[3:58] Did you?
[4:04] So, as we say, city of Urbana, that's your cue.
[4:07] All right.
[4:07] Sing and hearing no public input.
[4:09] We will now move on to the adjournment.
[4:12] So seeing no more business for this body, that meeting is adjourned.

[5:02] Second by, Quasem Berry.
[5:03] All those in favor, please say aye.
[5:05] Aye.
[5:05] Aye.
[5:06] All the votes.
[5:07] Thank you.
[5:08] What did we just vote on?
[5:11] Well, there are no minutes on the agenda.
[5:13] Yeah, so let's move on.
[5:15] There was no problem.
[5:16] Thank you, though.
[5:17] I have them back in the case that it is.
[5:19] All right.
[5:19] We had additions to agenda, which there are none.
[5:21] We will now move to public participation, which there are any members of the public
[5:25] wishing to speak for the township board.
[5:27] Next, we will have committee to verify bills,
[5:30] superposition and with the floor's yours.
[5:32] Thank you.
[5:34] What do you have before you at the town built sort of poured for July of 2026?
[5:40] We had in the town fund 51,276 dollars and 39 cents and expended shares.
[5:47] In the general assistance fund, we had 298,235 dollars and 92 cents and expended shares.
[5:55] The total expended shares for July were almost 400,000, the total was 389,512 dollars
[6:02] 12 cents. You do have a list of all the expenditures in your packet. I'm happy to take
[6:08] any questions you have before moving under the Supervisor's memo.
[6:23] I move approval
[6:23] paying the bills.
[6:27] All right. Motion made by James second. Second.
[6:31] All right, second by Cherice. All those of favor? Aye. Aye.
[6:39] All the polls?
[6:45] All right.
[6:45] the supervisors memo in your email and also in front of you.
[6:50] I am looking to see how it compared down to less than 15 pages, so we're working on that piece.
[6:58] But I did want to spotlight our living room project, which is going along nicely.
[7:04] We did request an extension due to the some hiccups in the certification process for RCS workers.
[7:14] that we've got frozen out of the licensing process.
[7:19] They understood that others were dealing with the same thing.
[7:23] So we have a new open date of November 3rd.
[7:27] We have...
[7:30] 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.
[7:42] Next is our CROT SESSA's, their Exams are set for September 23rd, and then we're interviewing peer support workers.
[7:50] We do still have openings.
[7:53] We are taking applications for certified recovery support specialists.
[7:58] Those are folks with 2,000 hours of supervision in a mental health or substance abuse
[8:04] environment homeless services does qualify and have lived experience.
[8:11] So it's meant to be a peer support process.
[8:16] If you know anyone, we're still taking applications for that.
[8:19] part-time and full-time, we are still, we are going back and forth with securing the property,
[8:29] we're very close, there's been a lot of inspections done, and we've found some issues that need
[8:35] to be corrected just because it's been vacant for about a year and a half, so those need to be
[8:39] corrected before we move forward, but things are going along well with that. We have part of
[8:49] will be in Evanston next week, their living room, which is a signature living room, so we're
[8:55] really trying to get in with multiple living rooms and learning a lot from our peers.
[9:00] We received two leap forward leadership training awards for Marco Price, who recently completed
[9:07] his as well as Shreda Johnson, who goes up tomorrow along with our bridge to home manager,
[9:18] We have a draft of policy and procedures and we have an outreach
[9:22] flyer was distributed at five different community events in the
[9:25] last three or four weeks including the Bennet family day.
[9:29] Welcome week and I can't remember if the black mental health
[9:33] symposium has happened or not but it's scheduled for that as well.
[9:38] Our strategic plan to homelessness has continued to move along.
[9:42] That's a county wide plan.
[9:43] We have moved things a little bit, need additional time for governance and coordinated
[9:48] entry policies, and we, a possible vote, is still before this ESPH in October with
[9:55] an early November, town hall plan, and I just wanted to point out a couple of other things.
[10:04] Our GA has been very solid and stable.
[10:07] We have run out of housing support for our CRIS and Motion Program, that's from the Housing
[10:13] authority. So we are bringing in a new cohort without the housing option. I am looking at all
[10:19] available options there because bringing someone into a decrease in motion without housing support
[10:25] is difficult if they're literally homeless. We have expanded our health desk and so we know
[10:32] have Saturdays to help people. We've also trained our health desk in coordinated entries
[10:41] Basically, if someone is experiencing homelessness, there's an interview and intake process so that they can be considered for all county-wide programs.
[10:50] So we've trained the team in that.
[10:53] We still have a volume of calls.
[10:55] I've asked the front desk to keep track of walk-ins as well.
[11:00] You'll see we had 205 walk-ins in addition to, we're running about 2,000 calls per month.
[11:06] to 105 walk-ins in a single month.
[11:12] Our rental assistance applications have slowed a little bit,
[11:15] which is great.
[11:16] We're at 97 in July, which is a lot of applications to come in the door.
[11:23] We are seeing a record height number of utility assistance requests,
[11:27] because LIHEAP is closed.
[11:29] We hope that that will start with the October 1st opening for vulnerable populations.
[11:35] that will start tapering off, bus passes have stayed the same, we are seeing an increase in street outreach needs
[11:43] where 75 people served. I up from 73 in July and 52 in June, I expected that number to go down
[11:51] because we're really focusing mostly on our band-up. We're doing a lot more intensive outreach
[11:55] and a five-of-road area and in downtown and Boenard Creek. In the parks we've always been present
[12:02] 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.
[12:22] So that has helped a lot.
[12:26] Let's see, families experiencing homelessness.
[12:29] We have, at the end of August,
[12:31] we had 12 homeless families on our priority list for shelter.
[12:34] We did have a number of openings.
[12:36] As we've finished some ARPA funded projects,
[12:39] we're down to eight families on our list.
[12:42] I always, because our numbers are kind of old,
[12:45] I usually ask just the day before to see where we're at.
[12:48] So I can give you the latest numbers.
[12:49] We're at eight right now.
[12:50] It's actually pretty good for the beginning of the year.
[12:53] We usually see a spike when the school system is open up.
[12:57] We want that to be zero, but we continue to work with housing navigations, supportive services.
[13:06] We are seeing a decrease in the weight list and average, the average stays stayed about
[13:14] the same four months, but the weight list time we've really been trying to get that
[13:20] down to under two months.
[13:23] So we're at 70 days, we were at about 120 days at one point when we started to really continue
[13:30] to work to get that down.
[13:34] So our food support has expanded, we're back to working with hope as well as Wesley, which
[13:42] is great, because we've seen record number of requests.
[13:45] We did help receive a decrease from the prior month of 28%, that's the first decrease I've
[13:50] in months. Probably has to do with the schools opening up and they're being a little bit more
[13:55] access to food. We are currently serving only residents of Urbana with that program and
[14:01] referring champagne residents to champagne, City of Champagne. So, Champagne has been staffing
[14:07] up and it's been helping us. This is City of Champagne. Township is also present, but City of
[14:13] Champagne has put dollars and staff support. We work closely with Dr. Pernell and Human Rights
[14:19] equity office and we've been doing referrals. So that has helped because we get a lot of
[14:23] calls from folks outside of the community, our community.
[14:28] We finished up, we were
[14:31] a round-up for good at comment-ground food go-up, we brought in about $45,000 in money for our
[14:38] solid-erdy gardens, program and we're submitting a new application tomorrow. So hoping to
[14:44] We've had a lot of events, play dates in the park, free meal events, well, come back to school,
[14:49] celebration, or band of middle school, my personal favorite. I love that. I am C Community
[14:55] Nights and Scott Bennett Family Resource Day. So, if you ever have any...
[15:00] E. Outreach events that you think township should be at if you could drop me a line, I'll make sure
[15:05] equity, food equity and event coordinator is connected to that. Happy to answer any questions
[15:11] you have about the supervisors memo.
[15:16] Any questions?
[15:20] All right. Mary Alice.
[15:26] Thank you. I would just check with the recessor. No, to see if you have any questions.
[15:32] Nothing additional to add this time. All right. Thank you.
[15:35] and I would call on a litvy of the community development director for the City of Urbana.
[15:41] I've asked if she would, during the reports of officers, given update on Lincoln and Maine
[15:48] development and the request before township, I wanted the town board to be aware of the request
[15:54] before we move forward.
[16:00] Good evening everyone, so I know I typically address this body as the council that tonight
[16:07] it's important for us to make sure that we're keeping in mind that this is a presentation
[16:11] to the township.
[16:15] So we were very fortunate to have had an introductory call with members of the cutting-hand township
[16:23] last week on Thursday, and this is a summary of the same information that was shared and
[16:31] an opportunity to get into a little bit more detail.
[16:34] So essentially, the need is to expand the overall flow of the sewer system within the CMU district.
[16:43] I will pull up a map at on a later slide that shows you where the CMU district is.
[16:48] But that's our campus mix use district.
[16:50] The proposal is to leverage the buy right development that railcorp the developer is undertaking at 901 West Main Street,
[16:59] and ask the developer to build the new sewer as a public benefit.
[17:02] The cost of building the sewer would be offset with a one to two year property tax abayment.
[17:08] So that is the summary of the requests before you this evening.
[17:13] So what we are requesting of the Township Board is to a introduce the proposal with the request
[17:20] that the Township supervisor issue a letter of support by the end of September or early October
[17:26] and then city staff would bring a complete package with a resolution and infrastructure improvement
[17:34] agreement forward to city council, hopefully for the second October meeting for committee
[17:41] of the whole.
[17:53] And to facilitate this request, we have provided a project fax sheet, which is
[17:58] before you, and there are also a few copies on the day as for the public behind me, but the project
[18:04] fact sheet is here. And then we've also provided a template letter of support. And this
[18:12] template letter in fact sheet have been circulated to all taxing jurisdictions. It's
[18:16] exactly the same document that everyone has received. So we're being transparent with the
[18:22] information that's being shared.
[18:30] Okay. So at a high level I want to discuss the
[18:34] a sanitary sewer design and estimated costs.
[18:38] Understanding, of course, that this is still a conceptual plan.
[18:42] We're bringing it forward to all the taxing bodies at an early stage
[18:46] to kind of get a sense of buy-in and support and participation
[18:50] for this effort, and we will continue to refine overall design
[18:55] and cost estimates as the project moves forward,
[18:58] or if the project is to move forward.
[19:00] 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.
[19:20] or rather pipe the sewer main, and the new sewer will likely be an 18 inches in diameter with
[19:26] manholes at the same intervals as the existing sewer.
[19:30] The cost of construction and fees are estimated at $1.3 million, professional engineers
[19:36] from Fair Graham are supporting this city and developing estimates and the developers engineering
[19:42] team is also working on developing estimates and trying to get to costs.
[19:47] With that said, the true cost of build will not be known until responses are received on the bid.
[19:56] So this is my attempt to summarize in pictures what I just said in words.
[20:01] I'm not an engineer, but we're happy to get an engineer before you if you'd like to speak to one.
[20:08] The existing 10-inch sewer main is represented here.
[20:13] We would be cutting the street and entering the below grade to add an additional 18-inch pipe here,
[20:24] which would be about 675 feet long and extend across Gregory Street.
[20:29] Any additional flow would come from the 10-inch pipe into the 18-inch pipe,
[20:34] and flow to our wastewater treatment facilities
[20:39] are existing plants.
[20:41] And I actually asked the IASR city engineer
[20:45] about expanding capacity and trying to better understand
[20:49] sort of sewer system dynamics.
[20:51] Essentially, our wastewater treatment plants
[20:53] are UCSD builds those for the future.
[20:57] So those facilities that process sewer runoff, or society
[21:04] sewer raw sewage from the city of Urbana in the surrounding area are designed to be able to
[21:10] accommodate the next 10, 20 years of growth. The issue is getting the sewer, the sewage to
[21:18] flow to the treatment facilities without getting backed up or stuck in the existing sewer system.
[21:26] And that's just, we have, in some cases, a very old sewer system. The 10 inch pipe that is existing
[21:32] in this location was built in the 1920s.
[21:35] It's still functional, but it's old, and as a result,
[21:38] it probably needs to be relined.
[21:39] It could be sized up.
[21:41] So the issue is not the plant's capacity.
[21:44] The issue is the sewer infrastructure
[21:46] that's interwoven across our city,
[21:49] and that of shampines, as well, to compromise the total system.
[21:54] That's a very high level explanation of sewer engineering.
[22:00] So, if there are any additional questions, I'm happy to get answers from the team and report those back.
[22:07] So, just a little bit more on the campus mixed use district.
[22:11] So, that was implemented in 2024 and replaced the B3U sub-district.
[22:18] The intent is basically, it's a modern zoning designation created to guide redevelopment near the University of Illinois.
[22:25] and it's a planning and zoning framework that is established.
[22:30] 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.
[22:42] So this includes, of course, commercial uses, residential uses, opportunities to think creatively about maybe future lab space.
[22:51] So it's a very expansive and future-looking zoning designation that was adopted by the City of
[22:59] Urbana in, as I said, 2024, part of this proposal is to think about the future of this
[23:07] area and to accommodate future growth in the CMU district.
[23:13] And so in order to accommodate future growth, we need to ensure that we have a sewer system that
[23:17] can support that future growth.
[23:19] 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,
[23:31] 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.
[23:39] So, they are filing building permits for a 10-story multi-family building that's a little
[23:48] under 400,000 square feet.
[23:50] It will be 290 units of 1 and 2 and 4 bedroom units.
[23:57] Most of the units at this stage appear to have their own bathrooms associated with them,
[24:03] So just to kind of continue to kind of paint a picture, it would be about 600 bedrooms total
[24:10] across the entire development.
[24:13] And it is being developed by Rail Corp, and they are responsible for the gather, which
[24:21] is now the UGO apartments, which has the bake lab and the ground floor, just across the street
[24:28] from Einstein Bagels.
[24:29] So, if they're known in the area, they've produced similar buildings, multifamily buildings, and yeah.
[24:38] 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.
[24:50] There are some smaller multifamily structures on the property as well.
[24:55] This is a larger building, but the existing baseline assessed value in tax year 25 was $650,000.
[25:05] They're about for all of these parcels with excluding this one because this one parcel here is not in the development,
[25:12] but everything else on this block yields about $657,000 in assessed value.
[25:18] 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.
[25:37] 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.
[25:51] And
[25:55] we did some calculations which I'm happy to share after the fact with the Tonship Supervisor
[26:01] and if she deems appropriate to send on, we can, but I did do some back-of-envelope calculations
[26:08] and roughly a two-year tax abatement would mean that the Tonship is for going about $98,000,
[26:16] but it would retain a total of $23,000 over that period.
[26:20] I don't want to get too technical, but basically this is structured the same way the proposal
[26:26] is to structure the tax abatement the same way the enterprise zone is structured.
[26:31] So it would just be on the increased value. The baseline taxes would stay the same.
[26:37] So you wouldn't before going any tax revenue that's already being accounted for.
[26:44] It's just the increment that would be abated.
[26:48] So, we are looking for tax and body participation in this proposal.
[26:52] Of course, tonight we're talking to you all as the board.
[26:56] We've also had conversations with several of these other participating taxing
[27:04] or sorry, excuse me, taxing bodies including Parkland, MTD,
[27:09] the Park District, the School District, and the Forest Preserve,
[27:12] and we have additional meetings scheduled for the coming weeks.
[27:17] That concludes my presentation.
[27:20] Can I very briefly just clarify a point of process as well for this?
[27:25] So again, this evening was just a discussion-based presentation.
[27:30] We are not asking and cannot take any action this evening because an action item was
[27:34] not advertised on the agenda.
[27:37] So any future action that is the will of the Township Board will occur at a future meeting
[27:42] of the Township Board, and it will be noticed and advertised as standard, but at this time this
[27:48] is just an information sharing.
[27:51] All right.
[27:52] Thank you.
[27:52] Are there any questions?
[27:55] Yes.
[27:55] Thank you, Olivia.
[27:58] I have two questions.
[28:00] One is, I want to make sure I understood this from on a very simple level, we're asking the
[28:08] taxing bodies to essentially forego two years worth of property tax collection to reimbursed
[28:16] the owner for building investing in the sanitary.
[28:20] Sure.
[28:20] Thank you.
[28:21] That's a very nice summary.
[28:23] I apologize if that wasn't explicitly clear.
[28:26] Your three were back to normal they're paying in normal.
[28:30] Absolutely.
[28:31] 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.
[28:42] I would like to know more about how that solution works with the 18-inch pipe and the 10-inch pipe.
[28:52] Are we actually replacing the 10-inch pipe with an 18-inch pipe?
[28:56] because what I thought you said was, we're having overflow from the 10-inch pipe go into the 18-inch pipe.
[29:03] And that still means we have a pipe that can't carry the load, trying to feed a pipe that could carry the load.
[29:12] And I'd just like to understand more about how that works.
[29:14] I absolutely appreciate that and we'll get the city engineer to be able to answer those questions.
[29:20] I think perhaps my diagram was misleading that I don't know that it necessarily has to
[29:25] flow through the 10-inch pipe to get to the 18-inch pipe, but the idea is that we're
[29:31] not disrupting the current system.
[29:34] At no point with that, we're not digging it out and removing it because that would increase
[29:39] cost where there's going to be some way to increase the flow through both the 10-inch pipe
[29:46] and the 18-inch pipe.
[29:47] the exact dynamics of that while we'll have to remember.
[29:50] I'm truly engineers know what they're talking about.
[29:52] I'm just curious.
[29:53] Yeah.
[29:54] Another interesting feature of this particular section of sewer, which...
[30:00] 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.
[30:10] And there is some particular concern about a sewer main that flows under Carl hospital.
[30:16] That is actually inaccessible should a challenge or an issue with that sewer line happen.
[30:23] and there'd be no way of digging it out and fixing it.
[30:26] So this is something that it's sort of an added public benefit.
[30:31] That's not adjacent to the CMU area,
[30:33] but would also serve the city well, I believe.
[30:37] Thank you.
[30:37] Yeah, no problem.
[30:38] Any other questions?
[30:40] Surries on the end, Dania?
[30:44] Regarding the new infrastructure for Gregory,
[30:49] from where to where,
[30:50] because you said it's approximately 600 something feet.
[30:54] And also, I think your pictures are upside down
[30:57] or something.
[31:00] Here,
[31:03] Lincoln should actually be east.
[31:04] I know that it'll follow down Gregory Street here.
[31:12] So we will, once like the fair gram and others
[31:16] are working on an actual design,
[31:19] and I'm happy to ask and share more details.
[31:22] I don't want to point it out.
[31:23] I mean, I know for a fact it'll run from Maine to Staten,
[31:27] but I believe it extends a little bit further on either side.
[31:30] And I don't know the exact start and stop location at this time.
[31:34] And is this being re, also re-done in anticipation of the development that's going that is supposed to be there?
[31:45] Yes, thank you.
[31:47] It will assist in overall flow for the area as a result of introducing 290 units.
[31:57] It's a lot more people in the immediate area.
[32:01] My understanding is that UCSD gave this developer the green light to go ahead and build without necessarily expanding the sewer,
[32:09] but it doesn't account for any future development that would occur on top of those new 290 units.
[32:16] So if we don't address this now with this developer, we'll have to address it later with
[32:20] a future developer.
[32:22] So we're sort of seizing on the opportunity that this project is situated in the perfect
[32:28] location.
[32:29] They're amenable to doing, to assisting us with this.
[32:34] And it'll assist with the flow that results from these 290 units and will account for future
[32:41] development as well.
[32:42] Okay, and regarding taxing bodies and under, James gave a very good explanation of what that was,
[32:52] but when I'm also interested in, because I'm the location of this new development as well,
[33:00] even though we're not making any, we're just kind of having a discussion. This is the information thing.
[33:05] So what I want to understand is, what is U of I putting into it?
[33:10] Because this is where they will definitely benefit with their housing as well.
[33:17] Yeah, at this point there is no U of I involvement and it's a private development that has
[33:23] nothing to do with the university.
[33:24] I mean, we imagine and can assume that students could potentially live here, but it's not
[33:30] You have a project that's a private developer who builds multi-family.
[33:36] Yeah.
[33:36] Who's going to make money back from you of our students?
[33:40] Okay.
[33:41] So I'm just thinking in terms of what their skin in the game is going to be if any.
[33:51] And it's not that that's already already know that, but I wanted to know if in fact they had
[33:59] if they even considered possibly putting some skin in that game.
[34:06] But, okay, you know, that's something that another revenue that you might want to consider.
[34:14] That's all there are any other questions.
[34:20] Oh yeah.
[34:22] So just kind of trying to get everything figured out.
[34:25] Are we expecting future developers in the area to kind of continue this larger main build out?
[34:31] as they build further down the road.
[34:34] My understanding from talking to the engineers
[34:36] is if we can solve this now,
[34:39] we won't have to burden future developers
[34:41] with expanded sewer expansion.
[34:45] Okay, so this, even though there's only in this finite area,
[34:49] we won't need to build it out down a line at all, you don't think.
[34:52] I mean, I think probably in 20, 30, 50 years,
[34:55] yeah, the sewer system is definitely going to need to be revisited.
[34:59] But for this, for the immediate future,
[35:01] I think in the next 10 years for the CMU area, nothing else will need to be done.
[35:07] So this is definitely being proactive for future build-out in the area.
[35:17] I guess I also would like to share that we did receive a letter of support and official letters
[35:27] of support from Parkland College today, and we've had positive conversations with other taxing
[35:33] bodies, although, but
[35:40] I hope we look, we are still awaiting to receive letters of support
[35:47] from the other taxing bodies, because we're at this early stage now, so we're just starting
[35:51] these conversations with everyone, but I am happy to report that we did get a letter of support
[35:55] from Parkland today. Chris,
[36:02] you know, like we always say in World Two, it's all going on in
[36:07] This is a high rise that's going to be west of Lincoln, right?
[36:13] Yes.
[36:14] Yeah.
[36:14] I mean, I'm looking at the map.
[36:15] That's what it appears to be.
[36:18] My question is the 1.3 million cost for the sewage repair,
[36:29] or whatever calling it,
[36:32] improvement is an estimate correct and if the price is higher will the tax abatement need
[36:43] to be extended for in terms of time like third year or fourth year it's a good question
[36:50] because we don't have the actual known costs right now we are in the process of drafting an
[36:57] 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.
[37:07] I'm inclined to, the 1.3 is a high estimate.
[37:12] I'm inclined to cap this up two years.
[37:17] So we've been socializing two years maximum with all the taxing bodies.
[37:21] I really don't foresee this expanding beyond that, and I think that it would, our proposal is...
[37:30] For no more than two years.
[37:32] 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.
[37:39] That would be in the improvement agreement, which would function similar to a redevelopment agreement.
[37:46] 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
[37:58] for that would codify that tax, the terms of the tax abatement, that they would then approve
[38:03] at each of their boards. So each taxing body would have to
[38:08] approve the same language and the idea is that everybody offers at this stage a letter of support,
[38:15] even though we know that to the terms are still a little bit loose, city council votes on an agreement
[38:22] with set terms and then all that's supporting taxing bodies would adopt the same language.
[38:29] The public benefit is improved sewage for the entire area.
[38:34] For the area.
[38:37] I think actually extending beyond the CMU area and I'll talk to the engineers about those values.
[38:42] There's no low income housing and benefits at all.
[38:48] I mean they're going to accept vouchers.
[38:50] they're going to. Well, this has actually nothing to do with the development itself. So it's a completely
[38:57] by-right development. They're just building by the standards of the code. So I suppose we could
[39:05] we can always have a wish list, but they have no obligation to listen to us or there's even
[39:10] there's no way to regulate that. It's private. And that's one reason why we're able to tax it with
[39:16] property taxes, because it's not involved, it's not a unit of U of I project,
[39:23] and again,
[39:24] the public benefit here is you're going to improve our sewage system in general.
[39:31] Oh, I wanted to ask one last question, and I thank everybody's patients who are parking 600
[39:37] people look to be coming in here, where are they, I mean, I don't see any parking, but it's
[39:46] 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.
[39:59] 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.
[40:05] Okay, thank you. Super buzzer. Did you have fun?
[40:09] Yeah, so I just, I had one question that I had his statement.
[40:14] Did you see in the presentation that the, it's,
[40:19] uh, increment is abated or is it the whole amount abated?
[40:23] I thought it's originally when we spoke, it was the whole amount abated for up to two years.
[40:27] So the increment over the baseline assessed value in this,
[40:31] in that whichever tax year we accept the agreement.
[40:34] So it would function the same way as enterprise zone that your baseline has helped
[40:38] consistent and then only the increment is abated for up to two years.
[40:44] I just want to speak.
[40:46] My understanding is I wanted you to be aware of this because we won't have a chance to have
[40:52] a time board meeting before I prepare a letter.
[40:56] So I wanted to hear from the town board on end.
[40:58] It will have the action part will be after the city council.
[41:02] you address it in early October and we'll do a resolution, but I want to speak in support
[41:09] of this project. One, I'm glad to see a maximum of two year abatements back when I was
[41:15] on City Council. There's a lot of tenure and asked for studies, what do we get for ten years?
[41:23] And honestly, I think it's important to be prudent. Our portion of this is very small.
[41:32] But the abatement, actually, we won't see anything abated.
[41:37] But we will see an increase of about $57,000 a year in tax base,
[41:43] which is significant for a small organization, like ours,
[41:46] where 2.8% of the tax base.
[41:51] I support housing development at all price points in Urbana.
[41:56] My, I would like to prepare a letter that's similar to this template
[42:00] to speak to Councilman Evans, I want to be clear that fair housing is a requirement of
[42:09] all regardless of whether it's public private, etc. So they must abide by fair housing rules.
[42:16] They must treat all applicants the same. They must not advertise as student housing as though
[42:22] it's exclusive. They must take vouchers if there are private apartments. These do look like
[42:28] Apartments which are shared in vouchers usually aren't applied in those cases.
[42:33] They must take rental assistance.
[42:36] So if somebody, whether a student or not request rental assistance,
[42:40] they're required to take rental assistance as a form of payment.
[42:44] So I just want to be clear about those pieces.
[42:47] I think this is close to campus and it's going to elevate
[42:52] and there are four room spaces so it's going to be less expensive than a private one-bedroom apartment.
[43:00] All of the housing at Bradley and Lincoln and at University and Lincoln has
[43:08] partit local residents living there because it's affordable, especially to people with disabilities.
[43:14] They're oftentimes looking for housing with a newer functioning elevator.
[43:20] And so my intention is to basically use this template and we've spoken about this and just
[43:26] add a piece around how important it is if township is abating, and I would also say this
[43:32] about the city, but I speak for township that essentially we can't have fair housing violations
[43:40] and I will provide some resources around that because I think there's a lot of misunderstanding.
[43:44] I mean, I've heard elected officials, city staff members, all kinds of people put out wrong information around this.
[43:56] Source of income discrimination is illegal throughout the state of Illinois.
[44:00] You cannot not take about your or accept rental assistance,
[44:04] except court-based rental assistance for reasons I don't understand if you are a landlord in town.
[44:10] You can not advertise for an exclusive type of person, including based on student status just along with race, age, etc.
[44:20] And, and I really think that this will be a nice amenity.
[44:23] And I will just share, I speak with students all the time.
[44:26] I am a field instructor for students.
[44:29] And students want to end benefit from being in the community with others living in spaces with community members.
[44:38] and we have helped people move into all kinds of cloud-based housing very successfully.
[44:44] So I would think that this may also be a place for residents to access of affordable housing
[44:52] because cloud housing is more affordable than individual housing regardless of their student status.
[45:00] But I just want to say, I support the, and I will, I hope to prepare a letter of support.
[45:06] 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.
[45:25] And so that is how they do the discrimination through pricing.
[45:31] And so I don't know yet how we've ever been able to.
[45:37] Because it's the private enterprise doing free enterprise
[45:42] and they are allowed to set a price wherever they want.
[45:48] But that is how they keep poor folks out of these new complexes.
[45:54] but maybe you could address saying trees go ahead too.
[46:00] What I'm going to say is this real simple,
[46:04] because there's no, we're not making any really decisions
[46:07] or anything tonight.
[46:08] This basically just, you know,
[46:10] but as we negotiate with these people,
[46:13] because we will have to eventually finalize
[46:18] flats and so on and so forth,
[46:21] 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.
[46:48] And many metropolitan areas do this with their developments and new things that new buildings and
[46:58] PUDs and such that are built up.
[47:03] I don't think it's too much for us to ask the same thing of them.
[47:10] And so if we don't ask, and if we don't put it out there, then yeah, I don't see that happening.
[47:17] Nobody's just going, people don't, that compassion, gene is not in everybody's thing, okay?
[47:24] So this is, this is, put it where it is.
[47:28] 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.
[47:35] 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.
[47:45] have regarding that. Then I think it's really important for us to start doing that regarding
[47:54] these developers. Mainly because we've cut off a process where they used to have to
[48:00] do a final plat and all that and that used to have to come through City Council and now we
[48:07] seem to be doing preliminary and final plats at the same time based on it saves them
[48:13] money. But then we have no more say about something. So, get it going in at the first step.
[48:23] So that's what I would ask you to do.
[48:27] I also just remind that we are here tonight as the Township Board, not as the City Council
[48:32] too. And we're going to talk about this again as the City Council at a future meeting.
[48:36] So what I guess I appreciate Councilman Hershey's statement and I'm happy to include that in my letter.
[48:47] 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.
[48:54] And so, if there are requests other than the fair housing clarification, which I basically
[49:01] message the in-laws every chance I get, and here's a chance to do it.
[49:07] I certainly could request multiple things.
[49:14] We regularly rent spaces, and help people into spaces, and we have really good relationships
[49:22] with some of the quad spaces, I call it quad because they're thinking of four individual
[49:26] bedrooms rented by the room, so that's what I mean by quad, which by the way, Councilman
[49:31] Evans vouchers can't be applied to because you have to have a private unit. But at least housing
[49:38] authority vouchers, but I certainly could talk, you know, I certainly could reach out to them
[49:45] and share some of our programs. They're really good relationship with landlords. They like to collect
[49:50] our money we move folks into housing. I could also ask for affordability standard. I do
[49:57] want to encourage you as you go forward and think big or picture that there's a lot of tools
[50:01] that cities across the country use to look at affordability requirements. And so you might want
[50:09] to kind of have like an even, this is what we're going to do with landlords who come in, who request
[50:14] things of us at tax statements, et cetera, to have a kind of schedule or standard.
[50:20] So I think you could consider that.
[50:23] But it's happy that added if it's the will of the townport is added.
[50:26] A note about affordable units, accessibility units.
[50:31] James.
[50:32] Yeah.
[50:34] I just want to say, I think this is a good idea.
[50:38] They don't have any objection to the concept.
[50:41] I want to be very careful that the language of the letter
[50:45] not imply an action that we can't take at this point.
[50:51] There's something in here about I and the Board
[50:55] remain fully committed to advancing this project.
[50:59] I don't have anything to vote on tonight,
[51:01] so I'm not sure I could stand behind that language.
[51:05] I don't have any objections.
[51:06] I think it's a good idea.
[51:08] That's as far as I can go.
[51:09] Yes, so it is my understanding of this process that traditionally, as we've seen it with our
[51:14] boards and commissions as well as this, or as well as the city council that the mechanism,
[51:19] the action item that you would take would be passing a resolution in support of an item,
[51:25] a resolution in support of the supervisor sending a letter. So at this junction, if the supervisor
[51:30] would send a letter, it would just be on behalf of the supervisor speaking to the township,
[51:33] but would not be on behalf of the township board, because this board has not authorized
[51:37] is taking such an action.
[51:39] So if that is the desire of the Timeship Board
[51:41] to send a letter as the Timeship Board
[51:43] and the Supervisor jointly,
[51:44] I would recommend that that be an action item
[51:46] at a future meeting of this Timeship Board.
[51:48] Either a special meeting this month, like on Monday,
[51:51] when we have like another Council meeting
[51:52] or at the regular meeting of the Timeship Board in October.
[51:56] Thank you.
[51:56] That's the clarification I was looking for.
[52:00] All right.
[52:01] There is no further discussion.
[52:03] My closing point.
[52:05] That's okay.
[52:05] And my closing point is just to remind the Township Board as I am reminding all taxing
[52:11] bodies that this is actually a unique position where we have made a request of the developer.
[52:16] The developer has not made a request for a tax abatement.
[52:21] We asked them to build the sewer on our behalf because they can do it more efficiently.
[52:26] They can do it at a lower cost.
[52:29] And we have to pay the...
[52:30] 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.
[52:37] Thank you so much.
[52:38] Thank you so much.
[52:39] 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.
[52:53] I'd like to move approval.
[52:57] Second, second by her, see, say any discussion.

[1:00:44] You may come to the microphone states your name, city, and you have five minutes.
[1:00:49] Come on up.
[1:00:50] The floor's yours.
[1:00:50] You've been waiting.
[1:00:51] This is your moment.
[1:00:57] You PTV, I'm not sure that the public in but Mike is on, at least I'm not hearing it through
[1:01:02] the speakers in Chambers.
[1:01:28] That's the public to bear with us for one brief moment.
[1:01:31] Thank you.
[1:01:35] All right, you should be good to go.
[1:01:37] Testing.
[1:01:37] There you go.
[1:01:38] Beautiful.
[1:01:39] Good evening, everybody.
[1:01:41] Let me just pull up my public comment.
[1:01:45] All right.
[1:01:45] Good evening, everybody.
[1:01:47] My name is Megan Tofala.
[1:01:48] I first moved to Champagne or Bannon 2021 to complete my undergraduate degree at the University
[1:01:53] Illinois, and I recently moved back to start graduate school at the
[1:01:57] C. University. Um, and so because I just moved back, I'm still learning
[1:02:01] about services offered and policies discussed by urbanist city officials.
[1:02:05] However, one of the ideas I remember was an idea proposed by a formal
[1:02:09] former council member Grace Wilkins at the last committee of the whole meeting.
[1:02:14] She proposed fruit trees along a certain road in urbanna, and I wanted to
[1:02:18] publicly say that I like this idea because I support the principle of it.
[1:02:22] I believe that food and other necessities of life should be accessible for everybody.
[1:02:27] I've heard that the city of Urbana has services that move towards the principle, and I hope
[1:02:31] those services continue.
[1:02:32] Thank you all.
[1:02:35] All right.
[1:02:36] Are there any other members in the audience wishing to speak to the council?
[1:02:41] Seeing none.
[1:02:42] Mr. Kosenberg.
[1:02:42] The floor's yours.
[1:02:44] Yes.
[1:02:46] Dear Mayor Williams, Urbana City Council members and city staff, my name is Sarah Nixon, and
[1:02:52] and the BANA taxpayer and the operator of a local miniature therapy horse program.
[1:02:58] I explicitly request that this statement be read allowed into the official public record
[1:03:03] during the public input portion of tonight's City Council meeting.
[1:03:07] Just days ago, a horrific predatory incident occurred in the historic Western BANA neighborhood.
[1:03:13] Three Huskies and or Husky mixes, large high-pray drive animals were being walked directly
[1:03:20] the opposite-leal elementary school.
[1:03:22] According to reliable eyewitness statements,
[1:03:26] the elderly handler had these three dogs
[1:03:28] tethered to her person,
[1:03:30] because she completely lacked the physical counterweight
[1:03:32] to control their collective mass.
[1:03:35] The pack lunched, pulled her entirely off her feet,
[1:03:38] and dragged her across the ground for five to six feet.
[1:03:42] The handler tried to stop them,
[1:03:44] but she was entirely overpowered.
[1:03:45] The dogs invaded a private front yard
[1:03:48] and brutally killed a beloved neighborhood pet cat.
[1:03:51] This terrifying event was witnessed firsthand
[1:03:53] by an elementary school teacher from her classroom window
[1:03:57] as her young students were preparing for class.
[1:04:00] While the quick thinking teacher,
[1:04:01] she oldered her students from seeing the direct violence,
[1:04:04] the children heard the commotion and heard her calling out
[1:04:08] the window to check if the drag handler was severely injured.
[1:04:12] I'm not writing to demonize an older resident
[1:04:15] who was clearly out of her depth
[1:04:16] and potentially injured.
[1:04:18] I'm writing because this was a catastrophic mechanical failure
[1:04:21] of physical restraint occurring directly
[1:04:23] on the doorstep of a primary school.
[1:04:27] Our current municipal ordinances allow individuals
[1:04:29] to bring powerful predatory packs into a high traffic
[1:04:33] public spaces without possessing the physical capability
[1:04:36] to restrain them if they're hunting instinct triggers.
[1:04:40] As an independent researcher, I know the science here.
[1:04:44] While solitary loose dog might roam out of curiosity,
[1:04:47] the moment, the predator breeds form a pack.
[1:04:51] They're instinctual, kill, drive, triggers, and clicks on.
[1:04:55] They operate as a coordinated hunting unit.
[1:04:58] My own years-long research reveals a sobering fact.
[1:05:01] Canine attacks are the number one cause of a natural death
[1:05:05] for miniature horses nationwide.
[1:05:07] When my program operated on a urban farm
[1:05:10] within the city limits of Urbana,
[1:05:12] We re-recurringly face terrifying incidents of loose, powerful predator breeds, specifically
[1:05:19] pitbull and husky breeds, roaming the property unrestrained.
[1:05:24] The margin of safety was razor thin.
[1:05:26] When an irresponsible handler allows an animal pack to drag them into private yards, the
[1:05:32] victims are left without virtually no immediate systematic support.
[1:05:36] systemic support.
[1:05:38] Code enforcement behaves reactively rather than proactively.
[1:05:42] On our front line animal control wardens, our front line animal control wardens are wonderful,
[1:05:47] deeply dedicated public servants, but our legal framework leaves them underfunded and structurally
[1:05:53] limited.
[1:05:54] We cannot wait for a child outside one of our schools to be severely injured or killed before
[1:05:59] we treat handler of physical incapacity as a severe public safety threat.
[1:06:04] And formally asking this Council to initiate three actions.
[1:06:10] Direct their Banner Police Department an animal control to aggressively pursue this investigation.
[1:06:15] Review local security footage to identify the handler and the true owners.
[1:06:20] Hold them accountable under a Banner Code section 4-28 and pursue formal dangerous or vicious animal classifications.
[1:06:27] evaluate and update our municipal code to explicitly address handler physical
[1:06:33] restraint capabilities and owner responsibility.
[1:06:36] The city should amend its ordinances to hold owners to a much higher standard of
[1:06:40] accountability and legal liability when they choose to harbor a high parade
[1:06:44] drive or powerful predator breeds but fail to maintain constant absolute
[1:06:50] physical control over them in public spaces, including the dangerous practice of
[1:06:55] multiplarge animals to a person's waste, establish an automated local registry so that animal
[1:07:02] attack data is better documented and compiled. Thank you for your leadership and your immediate
[1:07:07] attention to this critical community safety manner. Since here early, Sarah Nixon.
[1:07:15] All right, thank you,
[1:07:15] James. All right. Seeing in hearing no further public input, we will now move on to council and put
[1:07:22] communication. Any members of Council? Chris?
