ITEM SUMMARY:
The Downtown Retail & Restaurant Business Grant Program was approved by the City Council in
2013 to strengthen retail business activity in the downtown. There has only been one grant awarded
in the program’s history. The business subject to the grant has not yet opened so there has not been
any reimbursement made for this program to date. Revisions are being proposed to attract interest
and support new and existing retailers and restaurants in the downtown.
With expenses related to the build-out of retail and restaurant spaces being moved to the Downtown
Investment Program, the Retail & Restaurant Grant Program can now prioritize tools that will support
business success. Key revisions to the Downtown Retail & Restaurant Grant Program include:
e Shift the improvements to build-out a retail or restaurant to the Downtown Investment Program
to create consistency of requirements and prioritize physical improvements;
e Streamline the approval process by eliminating the Selection Committee, recognizing that Staff
lacks the technical capacity to determine the viability of a business plan;
e Recognizing the value of having a business plan, retain the need to provide a business plan
as an application requirement and have the Applicant demonstrate how the Program funding
will support their plan; and
e Expand eligible expenses to include:
e Retail consulting services;
e Visual merchandising services;
e Online sales platforms; and
e Website development.
e Allow existing retailers & restauranteurs to participate with a maximum grant award of $5,000.
The proposed revised Retail & Restaurant Grant Program has been unanimously recommended by
the Economic Development Commission (EDC) at their October 22, 2024 meeting. Additionally, the
EDC has recommended a budget for FY 2025 of $30,000 to be funded from the Downtown TIF #2
Fund, supplemented with funds from the General Fund until such time as the TIF Fund has sufficient
increment to cover the approved budget for the Downtown Investment Program. The requested pro-
gram funding has been included in the draft budget for consideration.

AGENDA ITEMNUMBER: — 7-5
Resolution No. 24-R-0079 — Contract Award — Mississippi
Lime Company — Hydrated Lime For Fiscal Year 2025 in
an amount not to exceed $471,237.00
COMMITTEE AGENDA DATE: November 7, 2024
COUNCIL AGENDA DATE: November 18, 2024
STAFF REVIEW: Eddie A Ramos, Water Treatment Plant Superintendent SIGNATURE
APPROVED BY CITY ADMINISTRATOR: Michael L. Guttman SIGNATURE.
ITEM SUMMARY:
Hydrated Lime is one of the various chemicals used at the City’s Water Treatment Plant. Approximately
1,300 tons of Hydrated Lime are used annually. Hydrated Lime is the key component to City’s water
softening process. Hydrated lime reacts with existing bicarbonate salts (Calcium, Magnesium, and most
importantly, Radium) and converts them to insoluble carbonate salts, thus removing them to a great
degree from the treated water.
A Notice to Bidders was advertised in the Daily Herald on September 26, 2024, as well as on the online
bidding platform, QuestCDN, and sealed bids were opened on October 17, 2024. Two (2) bids received.
The results are below.
Bidder Bid Amount Overall Rank
Mississippi Lime Company $471,237.00 1
Carmeuse Lime & Stone $690,456.00 2
The low bidder was Mississippi Lime Company of St. Louis, Missouri, for a total contract price of
$471,237.00 ($362.49/ton delivered). This represents a 12.38% increase over FY 2024 unit prices
($322.54/tons delivered). The increase is largely attributed to the market supply and demand for this
product. A bid tab showing the results of the bid opening is attached for reference.
Staff recommends that a contract be awarded to Mississippi Lime Company for the procurement of
Hydrated Lime, at a unit price of $362.49/ton delivered, for an amount not to exceed $471,237.00 for FY
2025.
Adequate funds will be budgeted in the Water Fund, Water Treatment Plant Operations — Chemicals (06-
34-48-4626) to cover this expenditure in FY2025.
ACTIONS PROPOSED:
Approve Resolution No. 24-R-0079 authorizing the Mayor to execute a contract with Mississippi Lime
Company of St. Louis, Missouri, for the procurement of Hydrated Lime for Fiscal Year 2025 in an amount
not to exceed $471,237.00.

SIGNATURE.
ITEM SUMMARY:
The Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) under its contract #62G63 is proposing a project along
IL-38 from east of Technology Boulevard to County Farm Road. The major scope of work includes
resurfacing within the project limits and upgrading sidewalks in compliance with the American Disability
Act (ADA) requirements. As part of these improvements, in accordance with the City’s 2016 Strategic
Plan, the City of West Chicago requested installation of landscape medians at strategic locations,
installation of LED street name signs at signalized intersections and painting signal equipment within the
City limits. The requested improvements will provide aesthetic upgrades within the project corridor. On
September 16, 2024 the City Council approved Resolution No. 24-R-0064 entering into an
Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) with IDOT to cover the costs for improvements requested by the
City.
Within the project limits, the intersection of Kress Road at Roosevelt Road and part of the intersection of
Fabyan Parkway at Roosevelt Road are under the jurisdiction of County of DuPage. Staff approached the
County for its desire to participate in the cost sharing for improvements at these intersections. The
County has agreed to reimburse the City for the fabrication and installation and any future maintenance of
two lighted street name signs and associated cables at these intersections, which will reduce the cost of
City’s participation. The costs will be determined at the completion of the project construction. The County
has prepared an IGA to memorialize its participation.
Staff has reviewed the IGA and recommends approval of the IGA.
ACTIONS PROPOSED:
Approve Resolution No. 24-R-0080 authorizing the Mayor to execute an Intergovernmental Agreement
with the County of DuPage for Lighted Street Name Signs at Kress Road and Roosevelt Road (IL-38) and
Fabyan Parkway and Roosevelt Road (IL-38).

2024. Staff recommends approving Change Order No. 1 to MacCarb’s original contract for the
procurement of Carbon Dioxide for Fiscal Year 2024 in the amount not to exceed $4,000.00, bringing the
total contract value to $58,000.00.

ORDINANCE NO. 24-0-0036
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE CODE OF ORDINANCES OF THE CITY
OF WEST CHICAGO — ALCOHOL SALES AT GAS STATIONS
WHEREAS, the City of West Chicago has had a long-standing policy of not allowing any
additional Class C-4 Liquor Licenses as detailed in the City Code; and
WHEREAS, this policy is evidenced by the reduction of Class C-4 Liquor Licenses from three to
one over the last twenty-two years as gas stations closed and/or changed hands; and
WHEREAS, several local merchants who operate gas stations with convenience stores have
requested that the City of West Chicago consider changing this policy to level the playing field with the
one gas station in town that has maintained its liquor license over time as well as with other convenience
stores in the area; and
WHEREAS, the City Council reviewed information provided by the Western DuPage Chamber of
Commerce and City staff and has indicated its willingness to consider allowing additional Class C-4 liquor
licenses in West Chicago, with additional regulations in place; and

license terms to the only existing License Holder, deems it appropriate to defer the application of the new
license restrictions to this License Holder until July 1, 2025. Said deferral will permit said License Holder
an opportunity to deplete any stocked products acquired in reliance on the previously existing license terms.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED, by the City Council of the City of West Chicago,
DuPage County, Illinois, in regular session assembled as follows:
