A. Presentation on Issuing Notes for a Proposed Development
City Administrator, Michael Guttman, briefed the Committee on how issuing notes for a TIF-
eligible project benefits the City. He said in this case the developer will front the money for
the TIF-eligible improvements and a portion of the annual property tax increment will repay
the developer until it is paid. By means of comparison, with the issuance of bonds, the City
incurs the debt and then is re-paid by the annual incremental property tax revenue produced by
the TIF District.

Pending Approval
Community Development Director, Tom Dabareiner, noted that a note is more like a traditional
loan and therefore it is less risky to the City.
Questions were fielded and answered. The Finance Committee members expressed support
for the issuance of notes for the 1300 Roosevelt Road Project under the terms and conditions
provided in the staff report.
B. Funding for the DuPage Senior Citizens Council
City Administrator, Michael Guttman, briefed the Committee on the history of grant funding
and how it was previously decided to only fund the Meals on Wheels program with the DuPage
Senior Citizens Council at $10,000.00. He said staff from DuPage Senior Citizens Council has
consistently requested additional funding and City staff is looking for direction on how to
proceed with additional grant funding.
Alderman Chassee said the $10,000.00 was originally to fund the Meals on Wheels program
and it looks like now they are looking for support for a broader portion of its total
programming. She stated that she has interacted with DuPage Senior Citizens Council and has
found services fully inadequate and unresponsive. She is inclined to keep the contribution
amount the same.
Alderman Morano asked about other contributions outside of the City. City Administrator
responded he did not have that information but did say that in 2002, at the time City Council
was able to show that $10,000.00 would go towards seniors in incorporated West Chicago.
Alderman Dimas said she also feels inclined to keep the contribution amount the same but
would like to have a representative from DuPage Senior Citizens Council attend a future
meeting in order to provide additional information.
