Phalen Consulting Report to City of West Chicago on COVID-19 Pandemic Pivot of the West
Chicago City Museum
As reflected in the attached FY2020 report for the West Chicago City Museum, although the
City Museum was forced to close our building in March of 2020 due to State of Illinois COVID-19
restriction for museums, City Museum staff were hard at work staying connected to the public,
working on backlog collection projects, and expanding the accessibility of our collections,
educational resources, and research materials. Despite a slight decrease from hours per week in
2019, during 2020 a part-time staff of five staff members, including myself, worked on average
51 hours a week. Staff pay totaled $58,100, a total of 66% of the budget with the remaining
budget going to programs and collections. My position of Director/Curator averaged 25 hours a
week and $33,000 of the total $58,100. Staff rotated on-site workdays to ensure social
distancing and communicated through zoom meetings, regular all staff email updates and
project management systems.
When in-person events were placed on hold, City Museum made a pivot to increase our online
presence with more detailed social media posts. These in-depth posts highlighted stories of
West Chicagoans and events from the community’s long and rich history. These posts have
helped us grow our social media followers, but more importantly, grow our engagement and
reach, a key component of the Phalen Consulting Agreement with the City for operating the
City Museum. Engagement ranged from general thanks for pushing out the entertaining and
educational information, as well as more specific stories of learning new aspects of family
history from our posts. The increased social media also made our large research and permanent
collection more visible, leading to new research requests for information about house histories,
family histories and local interest questions. The City and City Museum have the agreed upon
goal of ensuring the museum’s resources are accessible and utilized by the public in this
manner; creating these types of engagements also provides ways for the general public to feel
included and part of West Chicago history in meaningful ways that help sustain our community
as a desired hometown.
The City Museum also moved events, like our non-fiction book club, First Fridays, Town Hall
Shares and our popular Tales Tombstone Tell, to Zoom, with some programs being recorded for
on-demand viewing later at the convenience of watchers. Hosting online programs has allowed
the City Museum to grow our audience substantially, as those who do not live near West
Chicago, or those who have busy schedules, were now able to view the material live or on-
demand. This aspect of sharing programming virtually will stay with us after the pandemic due
to the success. Former residents, non-local train enthusiasts and seniors were able to access
the free programming and have expressed their gratitude for such fulfilling content being
available. Hosting our popular cemetery walk, Tales Tombstones Tell, virtually allowed seniors,
unable to walk the dark cemetery at night, and families with small kids, to view the program
from the comfort of their home and see more primary sources, which were incorporated into
the video. As with other programs, this program will continue to have a virtual component to

===== PDF PAGE 5 =====
[Extraction: OCR (rendered-page OCR)]
ensure those audiences are still served and grow the reach of our programmatic calendar, a key
metric in growth of museum outreach.
Although a lot of our programming had to move online, we did launch a new in-person program
“Strolls Through History” walking tour. These small group tours focused on specific aspects of
history, including stories from the cemeteries, local railroad history, downtown buildings, and
historic homes, and allowed small groups of masked and socially distanced individuals to get an
intimate history lesson on the streets of West Chicago. Providing a safe in-person experience
also filled a need for those community members who wanted something beyond digital
engagement. This was especially for families with children, eager to get out of the house and
explore. Families from West Chicago and surrounding areas, especially those with train
enthusiastic children, were able to book semi-private tours and enjoy our local history in safe
ways. Portions of these tours, with expanded visuals, can also be seen in our Mobile Walking
Tour and through HistoryPin, both free, on-demand resources that allows anyone connected to
the internet to explore historic West Chicago photographs positioned on modern-day Google
street-view maps. These virtual tour programs were also used by teachers who were limited to
online tours and virtual museum visits.
City Museum staff also redesigned education programs that were normally done in the
classrooms with students to become virtual programs. These new digital programs aided
teachers remote learning lessons or were part of virtual field trips with City Museum staff being
virtually present for questions and discussions. Outreach was done with District 33 and District
25 schools that the City Museum works closely with in educational needs and development.
Teachers could request programs on specific topics or utilize our catalog of digital history kits
that live on our website. Growing partnerships with West Chicago schools, has been a target
goal of the City Museum for the past eight years, and although growth has occurred in the past,
the need of teachers to gain resources during the pandemic allowed the City Museum to step in
with educational supplements and accelerate partnerships. Our resources were also shared in
DuPage Homeschooling networks and used by families looking to supplement e-learning.
To replace our monthly in-person children’s programs, the City Museum launched History at
Home craft kit bags. These started as events where families could stop by the City Museum to
pick up activity bags. Once we heard feedback from families who lacked transportation or time
to stop by the City Museum, we revamped the program to include the opportunity for families
to request activity bags be delivered to doorsteps, increasing accessibility for all. These History
at Home bags have been very popular and include history-based crafts and activities. Deliveries
of kits were most popular during Thanksgiving and Winter Break when over 160 bags, each
containing eight activities, were delivered to homes throughout the community, an additional
90 bags have been handed out in 2021. The City Museum received numerous emails and
messages of thanks and wonderful pictures of children completing their projects. This program
is continuing monthly with options for pickup and delivery, as the City Museum found requests
from families with limited means benefited from deliveries that were made to apartments and

===== PDF PAGE 6 =====
[Extraction: OCR (rendered-page OCR)]
houses throughout the entire city. Due to our physical closure, we were able to divert our
budget for exhibits, which always includes extensive children’s activities, to children’s
education programming, which maked up almost 9% of our total budget, or $7,700. The money
put into our educational programming this year helped families to have additional options at a
time when many were facing difficult times and allowed them to feel more connected to the
larger community.
The past year was extremely hard on the public, but for a museum with many collection
projects that often fall to the bottom of our to-do list, the closure of the actual building gave us
time to address the backlog in our collection processing. Processing of the collection backlog
has also been an agreed upon goal for operation of the City Museum for the past eight years,
and staff has worked hard to create new processes to ensure timely processing of new artifact
donations. While addressing our backlog, we also continued the digitization project that was
started in 2015 and now includes almost 18,000 items in our large collection fully digitized.
During the summer of 2020 City Museum staff began migrating our current database system to
a new system, CataloglT, that allows for a public facing platform. This new platform is more
robust than our previous database and after many months of hard work on inputting and
organizing the system, it will go live to the public this summer and be a searchable resource for
researchers and the public. Although it will launch with only a portion of our collection
accessible, the number of items in the public database will grow over time and further expand
our accessibly. Since May of 2020, staff has spent an average of 25 hours a week on collection
work to ensure our rich local history collection is as widely accessible as possible.
Working more extensively in the digital realm and as a society also allowed for new
technological ways to advance our work. After much research and reworking our processes, we
have setup a mini recording studio in the City Museum which allows us to do remote video oral
histories and recordings that augment our existing oral history collection. This project also
allows us to grow our digital collection to fuel future digital programs. Gaining these digital
resources helps us build materials so as we go forward with the reopening of the City Museum
building, we will still have digital programming to push out to our newly expanded audience
once staff is refocused on in-person community programming again.
Over the past year the entire museum field has learned a lot about engagement through
technological advancements and continuing to find ways to be accessible despite physical in-
person limitations. The City Museum was able to learn in remote conference about new tools
and open-source platforms to expand our own work and better serve West Chicago residents
and those who visit our community. The work we did on collection projects married with this
new knowledge base will help us remain relevant and increase our presence. We look forward
to coming out of this pandemic a stronger institution.
Personally, as someone who cares deeply about this community and greatly missed seeing
smiling faces come into the museum, being able to still connect with residents, whether on
zoom, through social media, or by dropping history at their doorsteps, allowed the work of the

===== PDF PAGE 7 =====
[Extraction: OCR (rendered-page OCR)]
museum to continue and grow. Local history has the special ability to connect people
throughout time and help ground residents to the place they live. Through my work at the City
Museum, and in my role at my other part-time job at the Warrenville Museum, which is open to
the public less than half the amount of time our City Museum is open, it is a joy to bring the
stories of our area’s history to life, to connect families to their ancestors, and to help children
imagine their place in our community's story.

AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY
ITEM TITLE: Ordinance 21-O-0015
AGENDA ITEM NUMBER: __ 2-4 -
An Ordinance Amending Chapter 10, Article V, Noise Control
Regulation FILE NUMBER:
COMMITTEE AGENDA DATE: May 24, 2021
COUNCIL AGENDA DATE: June 7, 2021
___|\ = ee
STAFF REVIEW: Christopher Shackelford, Interim Chief of Police | SIGNATURE
APPROVED BY CITY ADMINISTRATOR: Michael Guttman
SIGNATURE
ITEM SUMMARY:
The existing noise ordinance relies on measuring sound using an A-weighted sound scale, designated as dBA. Utilizing dBA is
appropriate. in many instances of noise complaints, as dBA most closely measures loudness as heard by the human ear.
However, certain types of noise, such as that in a low-frequency range, are best-measured using a C-weighted scale, designated
as dBC. Examples of low-frequency sound are bass produced in music and noise generated by compressors, pumps and diesel
engines.
In order to ensure regulations concerning noise control includes a component that allows staff to properly determine if certain
low-frequency noise is a potential annoyance that violates the intent of the code, staff proposes adding the C-weighted measure
of sound to the ordinance. Similar to the existing dBA threshold, the proposed acceptable dBC would depend on the time of
day. The hours between 7 a.m. and 10 p.m. allow for a higher low-frequency sound of 70 dBC, while a lower acceptable
threshold of 65 dBC would apply between 10 p.m. and 7 a.m.
Sound meters currently in use by staff have the capability of measuring both dBA and dBC.
ACTIONS PROPOSED:
Staff recommends that the Public Affairs Committee recommend approval of Ordinance 21-O-0015.

ORDINANCE NO. 21-0-0015
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 10, ARTICLE V, NOISE CONTROL
REGULATION OF THE WEST CHICAGO CODE OF ORDINANCES
WHEREAS, the City of West Chicago has a significant governmental interest in
protecting the health, safety, and welfare of the general public and in preserving the public order;
WHEREAS, loud and disturbing noise degrades the City's environment in that it: (a) is
harmful to the health, welfare, and safety of residents and visitors, (b) interferes with the
comfortable enjoyment of life and property, (c) interferes with the well-being, tranquility, and
privacy of the home, and (d) causes and aggravates health problems;
WHEREAS, both the effective control and elimination of loud and disturbing noise are
essential to the health and welfare of the City's residents and visitors and to the conduct of the
normal pursuits of life, including work, education, recreation, and communication;
WHEREAS, the City has a substantial interest in protecting residents and visitors from
loud and disturbing noise;
WHEREAS, the use of sound amplification equipment, such as bullhorns, megaphones,
and loudspeakers, creates loud and disturbing noise that may, when used at particular times and
places, substantially and unreasonably invade and harm the privacy, peace, health, and welfare of
City residents and visitors;
WHEREAS, the City's existing noise regulations currently measure sound using an A-
weighted decibel scale; however that scale does not fully measure the volume of music;
WHEREAS, also measuring the volume of music using a C-weighted decibel scale would
best quantify the volume of low-frequency sound (for example, bass produced in music and noise
generated by compressors, pumps and diesel engines);
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED by the City Council of the City of West
Chicago, Illinois, that:
Section 1, Chapter 10, Article V, Sections 10-36 and 10-37 of the West Chicago City Code are
amended as follows:
ARTICLE V. - NOISE CONTROL REGULATION
Sec. 10-36. - Definitions.
All terms used in this article not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in
applicable publications of the American National Standard Institute (ANSI) or its successor
body.
Page | of 5

===== PDF PAGE 15 =====
[Extraction: OCR (rendered-page OCR)]
A-weighted level (dBA): The sound pressure level in decibels as measured using the A-
weighting network on a sound level meter. The unit of measurement is designated dBA.
C-weighted level (dBC): The sound pressure level in decibels as measured using the C-
weighting network on a sound level meter. The unit of measurement is designated dBC.
Decibel (dB) means a unit for measuring the volume of a sound, equal to twenty (20) times
the logarithm to the base ten of the ratio of the pressure of the sound measured to the reference
pressure, which is twenty micropascals (twenty (20) micronewtons per square meter).
Sound pressure level meter means an instrument used for measurement of the intensity of
sound and accurately calibrated in decibels. Readings shall be made on the dBA and dBC
scale.
Sec. 10-37. - Standards.
No person shall cause, suffer, allow or permit sound from any source which, when measured
from property boundary of the receiving residential land, is in excess of the following
standards:
(a) Between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m., sound which has an A-weighted
sound pressure of 60 dBA.
(b) Between the hours of 10:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m., sound which has an A-weighted
sound pressure of 55 dBA.
(c) Between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m., sound which has a C-weighted
sound pressure level of 70 dBC.
(d) Between the hours of 10:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m., sound which has a C-weighted
sound pressure level of 65 dBC.
Sec. 10-38. - Variance permits.
Variance permits may be issued, in writing, by the city administrator, or his designee, to
exceed the noise standards set forth in this article as follows:
(1) A temporary variance permit may be issued upon request, provided that the work
producing such noise is necessary to promote the public health and/or welfare and
reasonable steps are taken to keep such noise at the lowest possible practical level.
(2) A permanent variance permit may be issued upon request, following an investigation into
the source of the noise, including what, if any, measures can be taken to reduce or
eliminate the noise, the cost of any such measure, and an overall evaluation of the request,
including the severity of the problem weighed against the cost of remedial measures, the
benefit of the public and the impact on the noise source.
Page 2 of 5

===== PDF PAGE 16 =====
[Extraction: OCR (rendered-page OCR)]
Any permanent variance may be revoked by the city administrator, or his designee, if
there is a significant change in the facts from the time the original variance was granted
and if, following the same procedures involved in issuing the original permit, the city
administrator, or his designee, should conclude it is in the best interest of the public to
revoke the permit.
Sec. 10-39. - Exemptions.
The following uses, activities and/or noises are exempt from the provisions of this article:
(1) Emergency operations. Emergency short term operations which are necessary to protect
the health and welfare of the citizens, such as emergency utility and street repair, fallen
tree removal or emergency fuel oil delivery shall be exempt, provided that reasonable
steps shall be taken by those in charge of such operations to minimize noise emanating

ITEM SUMMARY:
In June 2020 the City replaced existing Panasonic brand in-car camera systems with AXON brand systems in 17 police cars.
The switch to AXON was driven by a number of factors, including a desire to employ camera equipment with the most up-to-
date technological features as well as capture the benefits of having all officer-generated audio/video files created, managed
and stored using the same platform (as all officers were equipped with AXON brand body worn cameras beginning in March
2019).
The Panasonic camera systems removed from the police cars are owned by the City; however, Police Department staff have no
use for any of the components and the equipment is currently in storage. Meanwhile, the Village of Tower Lakes equips their
police cars with Panasonic brand in-car cameras. Staff with the Village of Tower Lakes is aware we have the Panasonic
camera systems on hand and has requested a donation of four (4) of these Panasonic systems for installation and use in police
cars utilized by the Tower Lakes Police Department.
The Village Board of Tower Lakes has approved the attached Intergovernmental Agreement relative to the donation and
transfer of this equipment.
ACTIONS PROPOSED:
Staff recommends approval of Resolution No. 21-R-0037.

Officer Activities
On April 1*, Officers Sauseda, Rigler and Hunt and Sergeant Langelan were dispatched to a residence in
the 500 block of Parkside Dr. for a reported overdose. The subject was found lying on the bathroom floor
unconscious and not breathing. Officers administered three doses of Narcan and began CPR. These efforts
were successful; the subject began to breathe on his own and sat up. The subject was transported by West
Chicago Fire Protection District personnel to Northwestern Medicine Central DuPage Hospital.
On April 2"4, Officers Rigler and Jones responded to a call of an injured person in the 200 block of S.
Neltnor Blvd. It was learned the victim was walking through a parking lot when a grey vehicle pulled into
the lot. Three suspects, one who was known to the victim, exited the car and began to speak with the victim.
The suspects all began to strike the victim and at one point he was struck him in the head with a blunt
object, possibly a metal pipe. The suspects fled the scene in the grey car. West Chicago Fire Protection
District personnel tended to the victim and then transported him to Northwestern Medicine Central DuPage
Hospital for further treatment. Officers obtained security camera footage from the Citgo gas station that
captured the offense and assisted in identifying the suspects. The victim was interviewed and stated the
suspects are known gang members and attacked him due to his affiliation with a rival gang. Detective
Calabrese consulted with the DuPage County State’s Attorney’s Office regarding charges. A charge of
Aggravated Battery was approved against the primary aggressor, a juvenile. Charges against the offender
were filed with the Juvenile Court.
On April 12", West Chicago Police Department officers responded to calls regarding a shooting in the 200
block of W. Pomeroy Street. Officers learned that a suspect approached a parked vehicle in which four
occupants were seated. The suspect proceeded to fire six rounds into the vehicle, striking one of the
occupants in the lower back. None of the other occupants were hit. After shooting into the vehicle, the
suspect entered a vehicle parked a short distance away and fled the scene. The victim was driven to
Northwestern Medicine Central DuPage Hospital by the other occupants of the car struck by gunfire.
Detectives viewed surveillance videos, conducted numerous interviews and obtained cell phone records.
These efforts led to the identification of a suspect, who was taken into custody on April 22". The DuPage
County State’s Attorney’s Office approved charges of Aggravated Battery with a Firearm, Aggravated
Discharge of a Firearm and Possession of a Firearm by a Street Gang Member. The suspect was transported
to the DuPage County Jail to await a bond hearing.
