ITEM SUMMARY:
The Cultural Arts Commission was created in 1992 to advise the Mayor and City Council on matters
related to the arts. While the Commission’s work has grown and evolved over the past three dec-
ades, including sponsoring public art, exhibits, performances, and community programs, the original
ordinance establishing the Commission has not been substantially updated since its adoption.
In August, the Cultural Arts Commission reviewed the existing Code as compared to comparable
commissions in other communities noting opportunities to:
e Modernize the purpose to reflect today’s vision for arts and culture in West Chicago.
e Remove outdated provisions that no longer match the Commission’s role.
e Consolidate and streamline functions to focus on areas where the Commission can have the
greatest impact.
At the September 4, 2025 meeting of the Cultural Arts Commission, an amendment to the Code was
presented for consideration. The Commission unanimously approved the proposed revision that
aligns the role of the Cultural Arts Commission with the goals outlined in the City’s Comprehensive
Plan to highlight arts, culture, heritage, and placemaking as integral to West Chicago’s identity and
vitality.
ACTIONS PROPOSED:
Recommend approval of Ordinance No. 25-O-0043 to amend Chapter 2, Article VI, Division 13 of the
West Chicago Municipal Code relating to the Cultural Arts Commission.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION:
This item is being presented to the Public Affairs Committee for consideration prior to the City Coun-
cil meeting.

ITEM SUMMARY:
Healthy West Chicago (HWC) was launched in 2014 as a collaborative community health initiative.
In 2015, HWC became a division of People Made Visible, Inc. (PMV), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organiza-
tion. Under this structure, PMV serves as the fiscal agent, while programmatic direction is provided
through an Advisory Board representing local institutions, including the City, and other stakeholders.
The City has been a consistent financial supporter of HWC since its inception. Support has taken the
form of both base contributions and, in recent years, a matching component intended to encourage
investment by other taxing bodies.
City Funding History
e 2014: $0
2015: $0
2016: $30,000
2017: $0
2018: $30,000
2019: $12,500
2020: $85,000 total ($50,000 + $12,500 + $12,500 + $10,000)
2021: $37,500 total ($10,000 + $10,000 + $17,500)
2022: $22,500 total ($17,500 + $5,000)
2023: $20,000
2024: $20,000
2025: $20,000 requested (invoice received)
The outstanding invoice amount of $20,000 was budgeted for 2025. However, HWC was to present
an update to this Committee regarding its activities over the past year. Upon direction, staff will pro-
cess the invoice for an upcoming Disbursement Report.
Annual Report & Upcoming Request
An Annual Report for 2024 has been submitted and is attached for review. A representative from
HWC/PMV will attend the upcoming Committee meeting to present highlights of the past year and
request continued financial support.
For 2026, HWC is requesting funding not to exceed $30,000, which includes:
e $20,000 base contribution
e $10,000 match for partner contributions

===== PDF PAGE 10 =====
[Extraction: OCR (rendered-page OCR)]
Considerations for Committee Discussion
As the Committee evaluates this request, it may be helpful to reflect on how continued support aligns
with the City Council's strategic priorities:
e Revitalizing Downtown
Could HWC’s efforts around healthy lifestyles and wellness programming complement
broader goals of creating a downtown that feels vibrant, welcoming, and reflective of commu-
nity pride?
e Delivering Exceptional & Transparent Services
Does supporting HWC enhance the City’s ability to deliver high-quality, transparent services
to residents, or is the initiative’s impact better understood as an external community partner-
ship rather than a direct municipal service?
e Connecting the Community
Might HWC’s programs provide meaningful opportunities for residents to connect with one an-
other and with local institutions in ways that build trust, collaboration, and a stronger sense of
community?
e Elevating Culture & Community Identity
In what ways might HWC contribute to West Chicago’s shared identity—by supporting diver-
sity, belonging, and pride in the community—alongside other cultural and heritage initiatives?
e Investing in Our Future
As the City considers long-term investments in infrastructure, economic growth, and work-
force development, how might health and wellness programming fit into the vision of a more
resilient and prosperous community?
ACTIONS PROPOSED:
Discussion and direction on continued support for 2025 as well as 2026.

Officer Activities
#2501236 On July 8", Officer Frommert conducted a traffic stop on a vehicle for committing a
few lane violations. In speaking with the driver, it appeared he had consumed alcoholic
beverages and may be under the influence of alcohol. While speaking with the driver, a cross-
body bag/satchel was on the front passenger seat. The driver was repeatedly asked to step from
the vehicle to conduct field sobriety tasks, to which the driver eventually agreed. A cup
containing a margarita drink was observed in the center console. While waiting for Officer
Laporta to arrive with the Preliminary Breath Tester (PBT), Officer Frommert conducted a
search of the vehicle based on the open alcohol the driver admitted to being in the cup in the
cupholder. An odor of alcohol was coming from the cup. A search of the vehicle was
conducted for any other open alcohol. On the rear passenger side floorboard, the cross-body
bag/satchel that the Officer previously observed sitting on the front passenger seat was found.
The bag was moved to see under the front passenger seat, and it was noticed that the bag was
heavier than expected and felt as if it had a solid item in it. As the bag moved, an audible
"thud" was heard as the bag was placed back onto the floorboard. Officer Frommert unzipped
the bag and observed a silver-colored slide and a black-colored frame/receiver. The firearm was
left in the bag, and a search of the vehicle continued. After the field sobriety tests and PBT, the
driver was placed under arrest and transported to the Police Station. The suspect was processed
for the DUI and then interviewed by Officers Frommert and Solis. The suspect stated he drove
family members to Six Flags on July 5 and someone left the gun in his truck. He said that he
left it in his truck because he had small children at home. He moved the gun when others rode
in the vehicle with him. The DuPage County State's Attorney's Office approved a charge of
Aggravated Unlawful Possession of a Weapon- No FOID Card. The subject was also charged
with DUI, fingerprinted, photographed, and transported to the DuPage County Jail.
#2501277 On July 14", Sergeant Jones and Officers Chapman and Schoonhoven were
dispatched to the 100 block of Conde St. for a structure fire. The residents had managed to
escape from the house. One victim advised that while inside the home, she had smelled a
strange odor. She further added that she looked out a window, and another resident of the house
told her the home was on fire and she and her family needed to exit the property. The
individual who told the family to exit the house was then questioned. He stated that the fire
started in his living area. He said he had papers and clothing spread out and that the fire spread
rapidly. Sergeant Jones was informed that there was a bedroom area unaffected by the fire on
the lower level of the home in the northwest corner. The unaffected bedroom/living area had
been barricaded with the door tied shut. The Fire District did not know who was living in that
area, but believed the fire originated from a similar location. Fire personnel informed Offciers
that the person who lived in that room had climbed out a window before the fire was reported.
The Fire District determined that, due to the unusual circumstances, they intended to call in the
Arson Investigations Task Force to investigate this fire further. The suspect confirmed that he
does live in the corner of the house in question. The suspect was transported to the Police
Station. While removing the subject's property, a lighter was located, which he stated he used
to start the fire. Fire investigators stated that other residents informed them that the subject had
admitted to starting the fire to burn papers he no longer needed. Additionally, the Arson Task
9

[Extraction: OCR (rendered-page OCR)]
Force indicated someone had tampered with the smoke detectors to prevent them from going
off, barricaded one door, and tied another shut, blocking access to extinguish the fire. The gas
had been left turned on on the stove, a ladder had been positioned outside a window to allow
egress, and there were multiple origin points for the fire. Detective Montgomery and Officer
Solis later interviewed the suspect, who stated he used the lighter to light a stove in his
apartment, then lit clothing on fire that he placed around the apartment. He stated he was doing
this to scare people away who were trying to get into his apartment, and he knew starting the
fire was wrong. The DuPage County State's Attorney's Office approved a charge of Aggravated
Arson against the suspect, who was fingerprinted, photographed, and transported to the DuPage
County Jail.
#2501294 On July 16", Officers Castro, McGuire, Jacobs, and Lukaszek responded to a
restaurant in the 100 block of W. Washington for a burglary in progress. Upon arrival, Officers
McGuire and Lukaszek walked to the rear of the business and observed a subject sitting on the
rear patio furniture. This individual was recognized from prior contacts. We asked the subject
what he was doing, and he stated he was trying to get some chocolate from the restaurant. The
subject said he knew the restaurant was closed but was attempting to break in to get the
chocolate. The store owner arrived on scene and informed me that the business was burglarized
last night, July 15th, between the hours of 4:00 PM and 7:00 PM. The owner stated that four
bottles of tequila and cash from the register drawer were taken, but he did not initially file a
police report because it was late. The owner walked to the rear of the business, where he
observed the subject and immediately stated, "I knew it was him." The subject then admitted to
committing the burglary and breaking in. The suspect was placed under arrest, and the suspect
began to resist and kick the officers. Control of the suspect was gained, and he was transported
to the Police Station and interviewed by Detectives Flanagan and Herbert. The suspect
admitted to entering the restaurant through the back door and removing eight beers and a bottle
of tequila. He added that he has entered the building on two or three previous occasions, taking
tequila. The DuPage County State's Attorney's Office approved charges of Burglary and
Aggravated Battery to a Police Officer.
#2501304 On July 17", Officer Schiever conducted a traffic stop of a motorcycle in the 900
block of Main St. for suspended registration. During the stop, the driver admitted to having
weapons on his person. The driver was handcuffed, and Officer Frommert arrived to assist. A
.45 caliber pistol was in the driver's left front pocket. The handgun had a round in the chamber
and five in the magazine. The driver further advised that he had a knife in his right front pocket
and another magazine with five live rounds in his right cargo pocket, along with brass knuckles.
Asked if he had a FOID or CCL, he said no. The driver was placed under arrest, transported to
the police station, and interviewed. The suspect stated he took the handgun from his father's
home, who was unaware. The suspect stated he carried the gun for safety. The DuPage County
approved charges of Unlawful Possession of a Firearm with no FOID card and Unlawful
Possession of a Firearm with no CCL. The subject was fingerprinted, photographed, and
transported to the DuPage County Jail.

#2501307 On July 18", West Chicago Police officers were dispatched to the 100 block W.
Washington St. for a burglary that had just occurred. The Offender took a bottle of tequila and
was observed wearing blue pants and a white shirt, heading north on Fremont St. Officer
Chassagne located the suspect, who was wearing blue pants and a white shirt, along with a
bottle of tequila in his hand. Officer Chassagne stopped the suspect in the 100 block of Fremont
St. The suspect began drinking from the tequila bottle. The suspect was placed in handcuffs and
transported to the Police station. The owner of the restaurant arrived on scene and advised that
the suspect was the individual who took his tequila. Officer Schiever and Detective Herbert
went to the business to speak with the owner, who advised that he had observed that the tequila
was missing. The owner was alerted that a subject wearing a white shirt and blue pants walked
into the rear of the business and exited with a bottle. The owner went to the front and observed
the suspect wearing blue pants and a white shirt, holding what appeared to be his bottle of
tequila in one hand and a can of pop in another. The owner called 911 and followed the
suspect, giving updates on the suspect’s location until officers arrived on the scene. Detective
Herbert and Officer Schiever obtained surveillance video, and in two segments, the suspect
walks into the rear of the business's kitchen area, and towards a glass door cooler. The suspect
fumbled around for a little bit and then walked out. It is observed that the suspect was wearing
blue pants and a white shirt, the same clothes he was wearing when the officer contacted him.
Detective Herbert and Schiever interviewed the suspect, who stated he went into the rear of the
business to steal alcohol, as he had before, and that he believed other people had done before
him. The suspect wanted to teach the owner a lesson about keeping his business secure and
how not securing the business can result in people breaking in or coming in and stealing items.
The DuPage County State's Attorney's Office denied a burglary charge. The State's Attorney
advised that any Class A misdemeanors charged to the suspect would result in a petition to
rescind the suspect’s pretrial release for a previous burglary at the same restaurant. The suspect
was charged with Theft Under $500 and Criminal Trespass to Building. The suspect was held
in custody and then brought to a hearing at the DuPage County Courthouse on July 19".

#2501493 On August 16", Officer Lukaszek observed two youthful subjects running through
side yards in the 300 block of Easton Ave. When the subjects reached Main St., Officer
Lukaszek stopped them. One of the subjects dropped a screwdriver. Officer Bertany, Jacobs,
and McGuire arrived on scene to assist. It was determined that the individuals were juveniles
and would be detained for curfew violations. The screwdriver was collected. A canvas of the
area determined that a Kia in the 600 block of Main St. had its driver's door lock "punched"
and the steering column had been peeled. The suspects were transported to the Police Station,
where Detective Herbert interviewed them. The suspects admitted to having attempted to steal
the vehicle. The DuPage County State's Attorney's Office approved charges of Burglary to
Motor Vehicle and Possession of Burglary Tools against one suspect and a charge of Burglary
against the other. As juveniles, the subjects were released to their parents.
#2501439 On August 8", Officers Solis, Frommert, La Porta, Schoonhoven, and Sergeant
Jones responded to an apartment building in the 400 block of Carriage Dr. for a report of a
person with a gun. The complainant stated that the suspect placed her purse on the vehicle and
pulled out a firearm and held it in her hand by her side. The complaint further added that she
began recording her neighbor as she walked into the stairwell of their building when the
neighbor brandished the firearm at her again, as she walked by a window, before entering their
apartment. The complainant showed Officer Solis the video, and the suspect was observed
holding a black firearm in her right hand. Later, as the suspect walked past the window, she
was observed brandishing the firearm, holding the firearm where the handle meets the slide,
and the suspect was dangling it in the direction of the complainant while also looking at her.
Contact was made at an apartment, and the suspect observed in the video came to the door.
Officer Schoonhoven relayed that the victim had asked if they were there because of a firearm
before anyone mentioned one. The suspect initially provided an incorrect name and allowed
officers to collect the firearm from a gun safe. The suspect was positively identified by Officer
Solis as the subject in the video and was placed under arrest and transported to the Police
Station. At first, the suspect denied having a firearm in her hand, stating it was her cell phone.
Eventually, the suspect admitted to holding her firearm but said she "did not wave it," and it
was pointed down, and she was showing it to let the complainant know not to mess with the
suspect's children. She was charged with Obstructing Identification and Unlawful Use of
Weapon, fingerprinted, photographed, and released from custody.
#2501401 On August 3", Officer Chassagne was dispatched to a retail theft at the Walgreens
located at 125 N Neltnor Blvd. The suspect loaded 17 containers of baby formula, valued at
$579.99, into a basket and exited the store. Walgreen's had video of the suspect and the theft.
The complainant described the suspect and the vehicle in which the suspect fled. Officer
Chassagne observed the vehicle and the suspect driving northbound on Neltnor Blvd. A stop
was attempted; however, the suspect vehicle fled eastbound on North Ave. A temporary
Indiana license plate number was obtained. Other law enforcement agencies ran the plate
several times. A photo of the driver of that vehicle was obtained from the Bolingbrook Police
Department. Officer Mielke obtained another photo of the driver/suspect from an arrest in Will
County.
