COMMITTEE DATE: September 8, 2026 COUNCIL AGENDA DATE: September 8, 2026 STAFF REVIEW: Tia Messino, Assistant City Administrator SIGNATURE__________________________ ITEM SUMMARY: The City currently uses Comcast Business for internet and network connectivity at several City facilities. Comcast has provided updated service agreements associated with the renewal and modification of these services. The proposed agreements include the following: 509 Church Street: Renewal of Comcast Business Internet Essential service, providing download speeds of up to 150 Mbps, for a 36-month term. The proposed monthly service charge is $127.90, with a one-time charge of $79.95. 412 Blakely Street: Renewal of Comcast Business Internet Essential service, providing download speeds of up to 150 Mbps, for a 36-month term. The proposed monthly service charge is $127.90, with a one-time charge of $39.95. Enterprise/Fiber Services: Renewal and modification of the City's Comcast Enterprise Services for a 24-month term. The changes include renewal of existing network connectivity, an upgrade of Ethernet Dedicated Internet service from 100 Mbps to 200 Mbps, and the addition of a /28 static IPv4 address block. The proposed Enterprise Services agreement increases recurring costs by $229.95 per month, or approximately $2,759 annually, compared with the existing service and equipment charges identified by Comcast. The additional network capacity will assist with the City's expanded use of technology across municipal operations, including increased reliance on cloud-based applications, connected systems, and other technology-dependent services. Based on the stated monthly and one-time charges, the total value of the proposed Comcast agreements is approximately $44,600 over their respective 24- and 36-month terms, exclusive of applicable taxes, fees, surcharges, maintenance, repair costs, or other charges that may apply. The agreements become binding upon execution by an authorized representative of the City. Staff is requesting authorization for the City Administrator to execute the service orders and related documents necessary to implement the proposed changes. Fiscal Impact Funding for Comcast telecommunications and internet services is included within the City's applicable operating budgets. The proposed agreements establish recurring service costs for terms of 24 and 36 months, depending on the service location. ACTIONS PROPOSED: Staff recommends that the Finance Committee recommend to the City Council authorization for the City Administrator to execute Comcast Business service agreements and related documents for the renewal and upgrade of internet and network services at various City facilities.

Under the U.S. Department of Justice's Title II regulations implementing the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), the City's web content and mobile applications are generally required to conform to Web Content Accessi- bility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA by April 26, 2028. The RFP also sought improvements to navi- gation, content management, digital service delivery, and community engagement. The City received 17 proposals in response to the RFP. Proposals were evaluated based on the crite- ria established in the RFP, followed by interviews and demonstrations by three vendors. Granicus was selected as the preferred vendor based on the functionality and flexibility of its proposed platform, mu- nicipal website and digital communications experience, integration of website and communication functions within a common platform, and overall value. Staff subsequently negotiated the scope and contract terms, including implementation and subscription pricing, annual renewal provisions, payment milestones, training, and service credits. The resulting agreement separates the core website services from the optional Government Experi- ence Agent (GXA), allowing the City Council to consider each independently. Proposed Agreement The agreement is organized into two packages: • Package A – Government Experience Service Cloud Essentials (Website Solution) pro- vides for the design, development, hosting, and ongoing support of the new City website, in- cluding content migration, content management and digital communication tools, and staff train- ing. The new website will be designed to meet applicable ADA and web accessibility require- ments while improving navigation, mobile responsiveness, readability, and content organization to make City information and online services easier to access. • Package B – Government Experience Agent (GXA) provides an AI-powered chatbot that as- sists users in finding City information and services. Users can interact with GXA in their pre- ferred language and receive responses in that same language, reducing barriers to navigating the City's website. If approved, GXA would initially be implemented on the City's existing web- site, providing an alternative to the current search engine, which has not consistently produced reliable results. Interaction data would also provide insight into the topics and information users most frequently seek, which could help inform content organization and navigation for the new ===== PDF PAGE 34 ===== website. Following launch, GXA could transition to the new website or the City could discon- tinue the service at the end of the annual term. The initial costs are: Package A – Website Package B – GXA Total if Both Approved One-Time Implementation $32,038.65 $12,000.00 $44,038.65 First-Year Subscription $14,894.78 $5,500.00 $20,394.78 Initial Cost $46,933.43 $17,500.00 $64,433.43 *Granicus agreed to reduce the first-year subscription fees by 50% to account for the implementation period occurring during the first subscription year. The proposed initial cost of $64,433.43 if both packages are approved is within the $85,000 budgeted in FY2026 for the project. Actual expenditures by fiscal year will depend upon the timing of the imple- mentation milestones. The proposed FY2027 budget also anticipates continuation of both Package A and Package B, providing for the applicable subscription costs as the website implementation contin- ues. Website implementation payments will be tied to four project milestones: Project Kickoff; Approval of Information Architecture and Website Design; Delivery for City Acceptance Testing; and Go-Live. The project is tentatively anticipated to last approximately 9 to 12 months from kickoff to launch, with the schedule to be refined as the project progresses. Based on this anticipated schedule, the new website would go live in advance of the City's April 26, 2028 ADA web accessibility compliance deadline. Annual Term and Renewal Based on the City Attorney's review of applicable Illinois municipal contracting requirements, the agreement will be structured as an annual term rather than the three- or five-year commitment initially proposed by Granicus. The City will have the option to renew each package for up to four additional one-year terms. Renew- als require affirmative City action and will not occur automatically. Approval of the agreement therefore does not commit the City to a five-year expenditure. Annual subscription pricing will increase by 5% per renewal term: Optional Year 2 Optional Year 3 Optional Year 4 Optional Year 5 Website Solution $31,279.03 $32,842.98 $34,485.13 $36,209.39 GXA $11,550.00 $12,127.50 $12,733.88 $13,370.57 Total, if both renewed $42,829.03 $44,970.48 $47,219.01 $49,579.96 Options for Consideration The package structure provides the Finance Committee and City Council with three options: 1. Approve Packages A and B: Proceed with the new website and GXA at an initial cost of $64,433.43. GXA may be discontinued at the end of the annual term without affecting the web- site solution.

One of the Commission's re- sponsibilities is to evaluate ideas and recommendations contained in the Comprehensive Plan and other relevant planning documents and prioritize strategies that remain feasible and have the poten- tial to positively impact the downtown. During its initial meetings, the DRC focused on developing a common understanding of existing City plans, initiatives, and conditions affecting the downtown before identifying new priorities. Commis- sioners were introduced to the City's Strategic Plan, Comprehensive Plan, and Economic Develop- ment Work Plan, as well as concepts and opportunities identified by the Mayor for the future of the downtown. The Commission also reviewed the City's existing downtown boundaries, related boards and commissions, and tools available to support revitalization. As part of this work, Commissioners reviewed implementation recommendations from the Compre- hensive Plan related to the downtown and evaluated whether those recommendations remained rel- evant based on current conditions and initiatives. Commissioners then considered which recommen- dations were feasible to advance and ranked them based on their potential impact. The Commis- sioners also reached out to a wide range of stakeholders throughout the community to obtain input about current challenges and opportunities for future downtown efforts. Through these discussions, recurring themes emerged across existing plans, current City initiatives, and the opportunities and challenges identified by the Commission. Rather than developing another list of individual projects, the DRC used these themes to establish a broader vision and set of priori- ties that could provide a consistent framework for evaluating both existing initiatives and future op- portunities. The resulting framework is being forwarded to the City Council for its consideration and action. DRC RECOMMENDATION At its June 22, 2026 meeting, the DRC unanimously (8-0) recommended City Council approval of the following Downtown Revitalization Vision & Guiding Framework: Vision Downtown West Chicago is a vibrant, authentic destination where people gather, businesses thrive, investment grows, and community pride is visible every day. Guiding Priorities ===== PDF PAGE 37 ===== 1. Place & Gathering – Create welcoming, safe, activated public spaces that draw people downtown throughout the day and evening. Examples include: • Public Spaces • Events • Third Spaces (where people spend time publicly) • Safety (equitable and inviting) 2. Business Vitality – Attract and retain diverse businesses, reduce vacancies, and lower barri- ers for local entrepreneurs. Examples include: • Retail Recruitment • Retail & Restaurant Grant Program • Downtown Investment Program • Business Support 3. Investment & Redevelopment – Direct public and private investment toward vacant, un- derutilized, and high-opportunity properties. Examples include: • Vacant Properties, including City-owned properties • Housing • West Washington Street Site • Redevelopment Incentives 4. Infrastructure & Access – Improve sidewalks, lighting, parking, connectivity, and the rela- tionship between Main Street, Washington Street, and Turner Court. Examples include: • Downtown Modernization & Beautification Project • Parking • Wayfinding/Signage • Trail Connectivity 5. Identity & Inclusion – Celebrate the authentic character of West Chicago and ensure the downtown reflects and welcomes all residents. Examples include: • Culture • History • Public Art • Community Identity Alignment Test The DRC also developed the following two-part test to help determine whether future initiatives align with the framework: 1. Does this advance at least one priority without meaningfully working against the others? And 2. Does it move us closer to a downtown where people gather, businesses thrive, investment grows, and community pride is visible? The framework is intended to provide a common direction for downtown revitalization rather than es- tablish a new list of approved projects. The examples identified under each priority illustrate the types of initiatives that may advance the framework and are not intended to represent approval or funding of those individual initiatives. Projects and programs would continue to follow their applicable planning, budget, procurement, and approval processes. If approved, the framework will provide a common reference point for the DRC's continued work and a consistent lens for considering future downtown projects, programs, policies, investments, and re- development opportunities. ===== PDF PAGE 38 ===== ACTIONS PROPOSED: Approve the Downtown Revitalization Vision & Guiding Framework as recommended by the Down- town Revitalization Commission. COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION: This item did not go to a Committee. ===== PDF PAGE 39 ===== CITY OF WEST CHICAGO CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY ITEM TITLE: Mid-Year Realignment of the 2026-2028 Economic Development Work Plan AGENDA ITEM NUMBER: _____7.D._____ COMMITTEE AGENDA DATE: N/A COUNCIL AGENDA DATE: September 8, 2026 STAFF REVIEW: Kelley Chrisse, AICP, CEcD SIGNATURE __________________________ ITEM SUMMARY: On November 3, 2025, the City Council approved the 2026–2028 Economic Development Work Plan following a unanimous recommendation from the Economic Development Commission (EDC). The Work Plan established an ambitious three-year agenda intended to advance economic development through redevelopment, business support, infrastructure, community connectivity, cultural identity, workforce development, and other initiatives that contribute to West Chicago's ability to attract and retain businesses, investment, residents, employees, and visitors. The Work Plan also provides the basis for identifying economic development priorities that may require funding or other City re- sources through the annual budget process. The Work Plan was developed with the expectation that it would be reviewed regularly and adjusted as implementation progressed. The first half of 2026 provided an opportunity to better understand the timing, dependencies, and staff resources associated with carrying out the initiatives identified in the plan. Implementation confirmed that several of the Work Plan's larger initiatives require substantial and sustained staff involvement while occurring alongside ongoing departmental responsibilities. The first half of 2026 also included significant opportunities and activities requiring staff resources beyond what was anticipated when the Work Plan was developed, including coordination of the Union Pa- cific Big Boy visit and July 5th parade. In addition, implementation of planned initiatives such as the inaugural Mosaic Market required a significant commitment of staff resources. Taken together, the ambitious scope of the original Work Plan, the level of effort required to advance major projects, and additional demands that emerged during the year demonstrated the need to es- tablish a more achievable sequence of work. The proposed mid-year realignment concentrates avail- able resources on priority initiatives, recognizes dependencies among projects, and adjusts imple- mentation schedules where appropriate. This realignment also provides a more realistic basis for identifying resource needs and developing budget recommendations for initiatives anticipated to ad- vance during the next fiscal year. EDC DISCUSSION & RECOMMENDATION Scope of the Economic Development Work Plan During its review, the EDC also considered a concern that some initiatives included in the Work Plan may not traditionally be viewed as economic development activities. The Commission discussed the broader relationship between economic development and initiatives involving infrastructure, commu- nity connectivity, cultural identity, communications, placemaking, and other factors that influence the City's ability to attract and retain investment, businesses, residents, employees, and visitors. J ,. I ===== PDF PAGE 40 ===== The EDC affirmed that the initiatives included in the Work Plan support economic development ob- jectives and are appropriately connected to the City's economic development efforts. At the same time, the Commission recognized that the City Council may prefer that certain supporting initiatives be managed or tracked through other City planning documents rather than through the Economic Development Work Plan. Accordingly, the Council may consider removing or repositioning individual initiatives without necessarily concluding that those activities do not contribute to economic develop- ment. Mid-Year Realignment The proposed realignment does not represent a change in the City's overall economic development direction. Instead, it focuses available staff capacity on initiatives that are currently positioned to ad- vance, coordinates projects with related implementation schedules, and adjusts the timing of activi- ties that depend on other work being completed first. Implementation during the first half of 2026 confirmed several initiatives as continuing priorities, in- cluding downtown redevelopment, the Downtown Modernization & Beautification Project, redevelop- ment of the West Washington Street properties, modernization of business regulations, implementa- tion of the new City website and digital services, housing development, and business attraction and marketing efforts. The mid-year realignment generally reflects the following adjustments: • Concentrating staff resources on major initiatives already underway, particularly projects with established timelines, outside partners, contractual obligations, or significant redevelop- ment implications. • Sequencing related initiatives so that foundational work is completed before dependent ac- tivities begin, rather than advancing multiple interconnected projects simultaneously. • Coordinating downtown initiatives with the Downtown Modernization & Beautification Pro- ject and anticipated 2027 construction. • Aligning business development activities with the Business Regulations Review and devel- opment of tools such as the business directory and available-property inventory. • Coordinating digital initiatives with implementation of the new City website and other tech- nology improvements to avoid duplicative work. • Adjusting the timing of selected initiatives where staff capacity, technology, redevelopment activity, or completion of related projects limits the City's ability to effectively advance the work at this time. As reflected in the attached realignment, several initiatives have been rescheduled to later years to account for project dependencies and available staff capacity, while initiatives already underway or tied to established implementation schedules remain prioritized for 2026 and 2027. This approach maintains progress on near-term priorities while preserving longer-term initiatives for implementation as capacity and project conditions allow. At its August 20, 2026 Special Meeting, the EDC reviewed the proposed mid-year realignment of the 2026–2028 Economic Development Work Plan. The Commission discussed implementation during the first half of the year, including project dependencies, competing priorities, and staff capacity, and reviewed proposed adjustments to the timing and sequencing of initiatives. Following its review and discussion, the Commission voted unanimously (5–0) to recommend City Council approval of the mid-year realignment of the 2026–2028 Economic Development Work Plan. ===== PDF PAGE 41 ===== Approval of the Work Plan does not appropriate funding or authorize expenditures for individual initi- atives. Funding requests associated with the Work Plan remain subject to the City's annual budget process and applicable City Council approval. RELATIONSHIP TO THE 2027–2029 WORK PLAN The mid-year realignment addresses implementation of the City's currently adopted 2026–2028 Eco- nomic Development Work Plan and provides a more realistic framework for the initiatives already un- derway. The separate proposed 2027–2029 Economic Development Work Plan builds upon this im- plementation experience by carrying forward ongoing priorities, further refining project sequencing, and incorporating new initiatives recommended by the EDC for the next three-year period. ACTIONS PROPOSED: Approve the mid-year realignment of the 2026–2028 Economic Development Work Plan, as recom- mended by the Economic Development Commission.

NUMBER: _____7.E._____ COMMITTEE AGENDA DATE: N/A COUNCIL AGENDA DATE: September 8, 2026 STAFF REVIEW: Kelley Chrisse, AICP, CEcD SIGNATURE __________________________ ITEM SUMMARY: The Economic Development Commission (EDC) is charged with making recommendations to the City Council regarding opportunities to foster an environment in which commercial, cultural, and community enterprises can flourish in West Chicago. In 2025, the EDC drafted the City's first multi- year Economic Development Work Plan to establish priorities for economic development activities, inform annual budget recommendations and resource allocation, and provide a framework for coor- dinating initiatives and resources over a three-year period. The Work Plan was established with the expectation that it would be reviewed annually to reflect im- plementation experience, changing conditions, and emerging opportunities. The current 2026–2028 Work Plan was reviewed during the first half of 2026, resulting in adjustments to project sequencing and the identification of several new or expanded initiatives for consideration in the next three-year planning period. EDC RECOMMENDATION: The EDC-recommended Work Plan carries forward ongoing economic development activities while establishing milestones for initiatives anticipated over the next three years. The plan includes contin- ued emphasis on downtown redevelopment, business attraction and retention, housing develop- ment, infrastructure, regulatory modernization, workforce development, community partnerships, and improved communication with the business community. The recommended Work Plan also incorporates several significant new or expanded projects and initiatives: • West Washington Street Redevelopment – Complete the Concept Plan for the West Wash- ington Street redevelopment site, prepare City-owned properties for development, and evalu- ate zoning changes to increase redevelopment opportunities downtown. • Indoor Marketplace – Design an indoor marketplace in 2027 within the downtown to provide space supporting entrepreneurs and small businesses with construction of the facility antici- pated in 2028. Grant funding has been sought for this initiative. • Downtown Futsal Fields – Design futsal fields on the West Washington Street site in 2027, followed by construction in 2028. The project is contingent upon approval of a text amendment allowing athletic fields as a Special Use downtown and subsequent Special Use approval for the site. • Grand Lake Boulevard / Elliott Avenue Land Use Study – Study the feasibility of transition- ing the area from industrial to residential or mixed-use as a potential strategy for eliminating - lu111_ ~ ~ ,--- ===== PDF PAGE 51 ===== the truck route through downtown. The study would consider floodplain constraints, developa- bility, compatibility with surrounding neighborhoods, transition of existing industrial properties, and opportunities to accommodate future industrial growth in more appropriate locations. • City Rebranding – Undertake a City rebranding initiative in coordination with the launch of the new City website. • Community-Wide Survey and Expanded Engagement – Implement a community-wide sur- vey and expand opportunities for ongoing public input through surveys, polls, and a future public engagement platform. • Downtown Construction Business Support – Provide ongoing outreach to downtown busi- nesses and property owners during construction of the Downtown Modernization & Beautifica- tion Project and evaluate opportunities to assist businesses with increased advertising efforts during construction. • Expanded Business Development Resources – Increase connections between small busi- nesses and capital resources, establish geographically focused business-owner meetings, ex- pand business development workshops, and continue development of tools such as the avail- able-property inventory and InWestChicago business resources. The Work Plan also establishes 2027 as a significant implementation year for several existing initia- tives, including construction of the Downtown Modernization & Beautification Project, implementation of the new City website, continued review of business regulations, evaluation of multi-family housing regulations, and an update to the Comprehensive Plan. Following its review, the Economic Development Commission recommended approval of the 2027– 2029 Economic Development Work Plan and its transmittal to the City Council for consideration. The Work Plan represents the EDC's recommendation to the City Council regarding the priorities and initiatives that should guide the City's economic development efforts over the next three years and serve as a basis for future budget and resource recommendations. The Work Plan establishes a framework for continued planning and implementation but does not constitute authorization of each individual project. Projects will continue to be subject to applicable budget appropriations, regulatory approvals, procurement requirements, agreements, and City Council consideration, as appropriate. ACTIONS PROPOSED: Approve the 2027–2029 Economic Development Work Plan, as recommended by the Economic De- velopment Commission. COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION: This item did not go to a Committee.

CITY OF WEST CHICAGO CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY ITEM TITLE: Downtown Investment Program Grant Agreement with Wiant House Properties, LLC for Improvements at 151 W Washington Street Resolution No. 26-R-0075 AGENDA ITEM NUMBER: _____7.F_____ COMMITTEE DATE: N/A COUNCIL AGENDA DATE: September 8, 2026 STAFF REVIEW: Kelley Chrisse, AICP, CEcD SIGNATURE _______________________ ITEM SUMMARY: Wiant House Properties, LLC, the owner of 151 W. Washington Street, has submitted an application for funding through the Downtown Investment Program for proposed improvements to the property. The property is located within the Turner Junction Historic District and is a contributing structure within the district. Kamila Cakes, a local bakery, is the tenant of the first-floor commercial space. The proposed project consists of masonry restoration. As the improvements are within the Turner Junction Historic District and the project includes exterior improvements, a Certificate of Appropriateness (COA) was required. The Historical Preservation Commission approved the COA on August 25, 2026. A building permit application has also been submitted and is under review. Under the Program, the building permit will be issued at 50% of the regular permit fee. Any third-party review or inspection fees will remain the responsibility of the applicant. As required by the Program guidelines, three cost estimates for the proposed improvements have been submitted: • Bart Tuckpointing, Inc. - $49,200.00 • Torres General/HVAC-R Contractors 1 LLC - $30,500.00 • Grove Masonry Maintenance, Inc. - $26,750.00 The proposed project qualifies as “Minor Improvements” under the Program. Because the building is a contributing structure within the Turner Junction Historic District, the project is eligible for reimbursement of up to 35% of eligible project costs, subject to a maximum grant award of $50,000. Based on the lowest estimate of $26,750.00, the proposed grant award is an amount not to exceed $9,362.50. The applicant may select any contractor; however, the final reimbursement will be limited to the lesser of $9,362.50 or 35% of the applicant’s actual eligible project costs. Sufficient funding is available within the 2026 Downtown Investment Program budget to support the proposed award. Reimbursement would be contingent upon completion of the approved work in accordance with the Grant Agreement, Program guidelines, and all applicable City codes. The project aligns with the goals of the Downtown Investment Program because it represents an investment in an existing downtown property and helps preserve the architectural character of the Turner Junction J ===== PDF PAGE 61 ===== Historic District. The improvements will help maintain the building’s exterior, support the continued use of the property, and contribute to the appearance and long-term vitality of downtown.

The City will respond to written requests for inspection, copying, or certification of public records in accordance with the FOIA, this Policy, and other applicable law. I. REQUESTS FOR PUBLIC RECORDS A. Responsibilities of FOIA Officer The City's Freedom of Information Officer ("FOIA Officer") is the person administratively responsible for receiving and processing all requests to inspect, copy, or certify public records under the Act and this Policy. The FOIA Officer is the person with authority on behalf of the City to grant or deny requests, in whole or in part, to inspect, copy, to issue timely written responses to FOIA requests, to certify public records filed pursuant to the Act and this FOIA Policy, and to extend the time for response. The City may designate one or more FOIA officers. The FOIA Officer is also responsible for coordinating the City's reasonably diligent search for records responsive to FOIA requests, including conferring with all relevant departments and subdivisions of the City, and their officials, officers, and employees, in furtherance of timely searching for, identifying, and producing records responsive to a FOIA request to the FOIA Officer. B. FOIA Officer Training As a necessary prerequisite to serving as a FOIA Officer, all FOIA Officers appointed by the City must complete the electronic training curriculum developed and administered by the Illinois Attorney General's Public Access Counselor ("PAC") within 30 days of assuming the position. Additionally, FOIA Officers must successfully complete an annual training program pursuant to Section 3.5(b) of the Freedom of Information Act. C. Requests All requests to inspect, copy, or certify public records must be in writing and exclusively directed to: FOIA Officer, foia@westchicago.org 475 Main Street, West Chicago, Illinois 60185. ("Office"). Written requests may be submitted to the City's FOIA Officer via electronic mail ("e-mail"), personal delivery, mail, fax, or other means available to the City in accordance with Section 3(c) of the Act. The City will not honor oral requests to inspect or copy public records. FOIA requests will not be accepted through any of the City's social media sites, including but not limited to Facebook. Failure to submit written FOIA requests in accordance with the Act and this Policy, including submitting FOIA requests to City officials or employees who are not expressly designated as ===== PDF PAGE 85 ===== FOIA POLICY 2 2026 FOIA officers in this Policy or on the FOIA page of the City's website, will render your FOIA request invalid. D. Receipt of Requests The City has established an e-mail address dedicated to FOIA requests: foia@westchicago.org which is monitored during business hours by the FOIA Officer. A FOIA request sent during business hours on a business day will be deemed received on the following business day by the City. An e-mailed FOIA request submitted to the City's FOIA Officer (1) after the close of business on a weekday, (2) on an Illinois holiday, or (3) on a weekend, will be deemed received by the City on the next business day, regardless of date of transmittal. E. Format of Requests As a cybersecurity measure, FOIA does not require the City to open electronically attached files (e.g., PDF files) or hyperlinks to view or access details of a request. If the City receives a request that would require it to open hyperlinks or attached files, the City's FOIA Officer will, within 5 business days of receipt, notify the Requester of the requirement that the entirety of an electronic request must appear within the body of the electronic submission. If the Requester fails to resubmit a proper request, the City may deny the request pursuant to Section 3(c) of FOIA. F. Robot or Artificial Intelligence (AI) Requests Within 5 business days after its receipt of the request, if the City's FOIA Officer has a reasonable belief that a request was not submitted by a person, the City's FOIA Officer may require the requester to verify orally or in writing that the requester is a person. The deadline for the City to respond to the request will be tolled until the requester verifies that the requester is a person. If the requester fails to verify that they are a person within 30 days after the City's FOIA Officer requests such a verification, then the City may deny the FOIA request pursuant to Section 3(j) of FOIA. G. Processing FOIA Requests Upon discovery and receipt by the City, all FOIA requests for inspection or copying of public records must be immediately forwarded to the City's FOIA Officer or their designee(s) in accordance with Section 3(c) of the Act. Upon receiving a request for a public record, the FOIA Officer will note the request with the date and time of receipt by the City, compute the day on which the response is due and note the date on which the response is due on the request. The FOIA Officer will maintain an electronic or paper copy of the request, including all documents submitted with the request, until the request has been complied with or denied. The FOIA Officer will create a file for the retention of the original request, a copy of the response, a record of written communications with the Requester, and a copy of other communications related to the request. Upon receiving a request for public records that may be in the possession or custody of one or more City departments, the FOIA Officer will timely forward the request to personnel within the appropriate department, who must timely consult with relevant persons in their department, or relevant persons in other departments, to conduct a reasonably diligent search for any records potentially responsive to the parameters and scope of the particular FOIA request. Any records ===== PDF PAGE 86 ===== FOIA POLICY 3 2026 responsive to a FOIA request must be timely forwarded to the FOIA officer. If the department needs assistance or guidance in conducting a search for responsive records, please consult the City Attorney. If a department anticipates or suspects that the department will not be able to locate records responsive to a FOIA request within 5 business days after receipt, the department must timely notify the FOIA officer, who will draft and timely send a written notice extending the time to comply to the FOIA request by at least 5 additional business days, or for a longer period if agreed to in writing between the FOIA Officer and the Requester, for any of the applicable reasons specified in the Act. H. Supplemental Requests Supplemental, amended, narrowed, or additional requests to inspect, copy, or certify public records will not relate back to the time of receipt of the initial request. Supplemental, amended, narrowed, or additional requests will be considered new requests for purpose of determining all applicable time periods. I. FOIA Request Must Seek Identifiable Public Records All FOIA requests must seek identifiable public records in the possession or custody of the City, not general information, data, or statistics. J. Creation of New Records FOIA does not require the City to create, maintain, or otherwise prepare new records that do not currently exist in the City's possession or custody at the time of receiving the FOIA request. K. Interpretations or Advice; Answering Questions The FOIA Officer will not interpret or advise a Requester about the meaning or significance of any public records. The FOIA officer will also not answer any questions posed by a FOIA Requester. If a FOIA request is vague, ambiguous, categorical, or otherwise confusing, the FOIA Officer may contact the Requester, if necessary, to clarify the Request. The FOIA Officer may seek advice on appropriate responses from the City's Attorney, and seek advisory opinions from the PAC as specified below. L. Purpose of Request The City will not require a requester to specify the purpose for their request, except to determine whether the records are requested for a commercial purpose or whether to grant a request for a fee waiver as authorized by the Act or this Policy. II. RESPONSES TO REQUESTS A. Time for Response Except as otherwise provided in the Act, the City will respond to a FOIA request filed pursuant to Section I of this FOIA Policy within 5 business days after the request is received by the City, unless the City extends the time to respond to the request pursuant to the Act. The time periods for complying with or denying a FOIA request to inspect or copy public records, in whole or in part, shall not apply to requests for records made for a commercial purpose, requests made by a ===== PDF PAGE 87 ===== FOIA POLICY 4 2026 recurrent requester, or voluminous requests, as defined in the Act. All responses and decisions required to be issued by the City pursuant to the Act or this FOIA Policy will be conclusively deemed to have been given as of the date of emailing to the requester's email address, personal delivery to the requester or to the residence of the requester or, if mailed, as of the date of mailing, regardless of the date of actual receipt by the requester. B. Responding to Requests The FOIA Officer may consult with the City's Attorney before responding to any request to inspect, copy, or certify public records. The FOIA Officer may also consult with the City's Attorney if the FOIA Officer believes it would be beneficial to the City to seek an advisory opinion from the PAC regarding whether a request should be complied with, extended, or denied (in whole or in part). C. Requests for Records to be Used for a Commercial Purpose The time lines specified above in Section II.A do not apply to requests for records to be used for commercial purposes, as defined in Section 2(c-10) of the Act. The City will respond to a request for records to be used for a commercial purpose within 21 business days after receipt. In accordance with Section 3.l(a) of the Act, the response will (i) provide the requester an estimate of the time required by the City to provide the records requested and an estimate of the fees to be charged, which the City may require the requester to pay in full before copying the requested documents, (ii) deny the request, in whole or in part, pursuant to applicable exemptions; (iii) notify the requester that the request is unduly burdensome and extend an opportunity to confer with the requester in writing to attempt to reduce the request to manageable proportions, or (iv) provide the records requested. Unless the records are exempt from disclosure, the City will comply with a request within a reasonable period of time considering the size and complexity of the request, giving priority to records requested for non-commercial purposes. It is a violation of the Act for a person to knowingly obtain public records for a commercial purpose without disclosing the commercial purpose of the request. D. Form of Response 1. Disclosure of Public Records. (a) If the FOIA Officer determines that the Act requires disclosure of all or any part or portion of any public records in response to a FOIA request, the FOIA Officer will notify the Requester in writing of that determination. (b) Except as otherwise specifically authorized by the FOIA Officer, only City personnel will be permitted to search City files, records, or storage areas; to use City equipment; to make copies of City public records; or to disclose City public records. Original public records may not be removed from the City's Office at any time. (c) Public records requested under the Act may be inspected, or copies of public records obtained, during business hours at the City Office. Because space is limited, requesters must make arrangements in advance with the ===== PDF PAGE 88 ===== FOIA POLICY 5 2026 FOIA Officer for a specific appointment to inspect public records at the City Office. (d) Requests for the reproduction of any public records that are tape recordings will be honored in accordance with the provisions of the Act and this FOIA Policy. (e) The requester must pay all copying, certification, and postage fees m advance of receiving copies of any public records. (f) When requested in electronic format, records will be furnished in the electronic format specified by the Requester, if feasible. If it is not feasible to furnish the records in the requester's specified electronic format, then the City will furnish the record in the format in which it is maintained by the City, or in paper format at the option of the requester. 2. Extension of Time. If the FOIA Officer determines that additional time is needed to respond to a request for any one or more reasons authorized by Section 3(e) of the Act, the FOIA Officer will notify the Requester in writing of that determination, the reasons requiring the extension, and the length of the extension. The requester and the City may also agree in writing to extend the time for compliance for a period to be determined by the parties. 3. Repeated Requests. Repeated requests from the same person for the same records that are unchanged or identical to records previously provided or properly denied under the Act will be deemed unduly burdensome in accordance with Section 3(g) of the Act. 4. Recurrent Requests. Requests received from any person or persons that, in the 12 months immediately preceding the request, have submitted (i) 50 or more requests for records, (ii) 15 or more requests for records within a 30-day period, or (iii) 7 or more requests for records within a 7-day period, excluding requests made by news media and non-profit, scientific, or academic organizations for purposes outlined in Section 2(g) of the Act, will be reviewed as a recurrent request and treated in the following manner: Within 5 business days of receiving a recurrent request, the FOIA Officer will notify the requester: (i) that the City is treating the request as a request under section 2(g) of the Act, (ii) of the reasons why the City is treating the request as a request under section 2(g) of the Act, (iii) that the City will send an initial response within 21 business days after receipt of the request; and (iv) of the following categories of initial responses that may be asserted pursuant to section 3.2(a) of the Act. Within 21 business days after receipt of a recurrent request, the FOIA Officer will issue one of the following initial responses: (i) Provide to the requester an estimate of the time required by the City to provide the records requested and an estimate of the fees to ===== PDF PAGE 89 ===== FOIA POLICY 6 2026 be charged, which the City may require the requester to pay in full before copying the requested documents; (ii) Deny the request, in whole or in part, pursuant to applicable FOIA exemptions; (iii) Notify the requester that the request is unduly burdensome and extend an opportunity to the requester to confer with the FOIA Officer in writing to attempt to reduce the request to manageable proportions; and/or (iv) Provide the records requested. Unless the requested records are exempt from disclosure, the FOIA Officer will comply with the request within a reasonable period considering the size and complexity of the request. 5. Voluminous Requests. Requests received from any person or persons that (i) includes more than 5 individual requests for more than 5 different categories of records in a period of 20 business days or (ii) requires the compilation of more than 500 letter or legal-sized pages of public records unless a single record exceeds 500 pages, excluding requests made by news media and non-profit, scientific, or academic organizations for purposes outlined in Section 2(h) of the Act, will be reviewed as a voluminous request and treated in the following manner: Within 5 business days of receiving a voluminous request, the FOIA Officer will notify the requester: (i) that the City is treating the request as a request under section 2(h) of the Act, (ii) the reasons why the City is treating the request as a request under section 2(h) of the Act, and (iii) that the requester has 10 business days to amend their request in such a way that it is no longer a voluminous request. Within 5 business days after the receipt of the Voluminous Requester Notice or within 5 days from the last day for the requester to amend their request, the FOIA Officer will provide one of the following initial responses: (i) Provide to the requester an estimate of the fees to be charged, which the City may require the requester to pay in full before copying the requested documents; (ii) Extend the time for response by not more than 10 business days from the final day for the requester to respond to this notice. (iii) Deny the request, in whole or in part, pursuant to applicable FOIA exemptions; (iv) Notify the requester that the request is unduly burdensome and extend an opportunity to the requester to confer with the FOIA ===== PDF PAGE 90 ===== FOIA POLICY 7 2026 Officer in writing to attempt to reduce the request to manageable proportions; and/or (v) Provide the records requested. 6. Unduly Burdensome Requests. (a) If the FOIA Officer determines that (1) a request seeks all records falling within a category, that the request is vague or ambiguous, or responding to the request will otherwise unduly burden or interfere with City operations; (2) that there is no way to narrow the request to manageable proportions; and (3) the City's burden of complying with the request outweighs the public interest of complying with the request, the FOIA Officer will notify the requester in writing that their request is deemed unduly burdensome, the reasons supporting that determination, and the right of the requester to confer with the FOIA Officer in writing in an effort to narrow the request to manageable proportions. (b) If the requester agrees to confer with the FOIA Officer regarding narrowing the burdensome request to more manageable proportions, and the narrowed request is no longer deemed burdensome by the FOIA Officer, then the FOIA Officer will respond to the narrowed request within five business days following the date of receiving the narrowed request in writing, or within the extension period if the City's FOIA Officer extends the time to respond to the narrowed request. The response may take any form specified in this Section 11.D. (c) If the requester does not agree to confer with the FOIA Officer regarding narrowing the burdensome request to more manageable proportions, or the FOIA Officer determines that the narrowed request remains unduly burdensome, the FOIA Officer may deny the request as unduly burdensome. 7. Non-Responsive Information in Records. If the City's search in response to a FOIA request identifies records, or part thereof, that are not responsive to the parameters of the FOIA request, the City may elect to withhold those records, or part thereof from disclosure. Redacting or withholding non-responsive records, or parts thereof, is not a "redaction" under FOIA, and that information is not deemed improperly withheld under the Act. 8. Redacting Information. When a request is made to inspect or copy a public record that contains information that is exempt from disclosure, but also contains information that is not exempt from disclosure, the FOIA Officer may elect to redact the exempt information, and will make available the remaining nonexempt information available for inspection or copying. 9. Denial. If the FOIA Officer determines that all or part of any public records request filed pursuant to Section I of this FOIA Policy are exempt from disclosure under the Act or this FOIA Policy, the FOIA Officer will notify the Requester in ===== PDF PAGE 91 ===== FOIA POLICY wntmg of that determination, including: (i) a detailed factual basis for the application of any exemption claimed; (ii) the reason for the denial; (iii) the name and position of the person responsible for the denial; (iv) the requester's right to judicial review and review by the Public Access Counselor, including the Public Access Counselor's address and phone number; and (v) the requester's right to seek judicial review of the denial pursuant to Section 11 of the Act ("Notice of Deniaf'). In the event that a request is denied on the grounds that the records are exempt under Section 7 or Section 7.5 of the Act, the notice of denial will specify the exemption claimed to authorize the denial and the specific reasons for the denial, including a detailed factual basis and a citation to supporting legal authority. 10. Records of Denials. Copies of all notices of denial shall be retained by the FOIA Officer in a single central office file that is open to the public and indexed according to the type of exemption asserted and, to the extent feasible, according to the types of records requested. E. Records Available on the City's Website Pursuant to Section 8.5 of the Act, the City is not required to copy a public record that is published on the City's website, and in response to a request may notify a requester that the record is available online and direct the requester to the website location where the record can be reasonably accessed (e.g., through a link to the relevant portion of the website). However, if a requester is unable to reasonably access the record online after being directed to the website, the requester may re-submit their request for the record stating their inability to reasonably access the record online, and the record will be made available for inspection or copying. F. Failure to Respond If a FOIA officer does not respond to a request properly filed under Section 1 of this FOIA policy, the request is deemed denied. III. INTERACTION WITH PUBLIC ACCESS COUNSELOR A. The City's Request for an Advisory Opinion The Mayor or the City Attorney may request the PAC to issue an advisory opinion regarding complying with the Act. B. Receipt of Request for Review If the City receives a further inquiry letter from the Illinois Public Access Counselor ("PAC") regarding a request for review alleging violations of FOIA, the City may respond to the PAC within 7 business days after receipt of the further inquiry letter, and will otherwise fully cooperate with the PAC in accordance with Section 9.5 of the Freedom of Information Act. Records provided to t PAC under a claim of confidentiality for the purposes of facilitating their review and resolution of a request for review will not be disclosed to the public, including ===== PDF PAGE 92 ===== FOIA POLICY 9 2026 to a Requester, by the PAC. The City may furnish affidavits or other records concerning any matter germane to the review. C. Mediation In the event the PAC chooses to resolve a request for review by mediation, the City will cooperate with the PAC. D. Response to PAC Binding Opinions Upon the receipt of a binding opinion from the PAC concluding that the City has violated the Act, the City, at its discretion, may either take necessary action as soon as practical to comply with the directive of the opinion or may file an administrative review action pursuant to Sections 9.5(f) and 11.5 of the Act. IV. REVIEW OF DENIAL A. Review by Public Access Counselor If a non-commercial requester disagrees with a Notice of Denial, then the non-commercial requester may file a request for review with the PAC not later than 60 days after the date of the Notice of Denial. The request for review by the PAC must be in writing, signed by the non- commercial requester, and include a copy of the request and the Notice of Denial and any other response from the City. Commercial Requesters, or persons whose request for records was treated by the FOIA Officer as a request for a commercial purpose under this FOIA Policy, may not file a request for review with regard to the FOIA Officer's basis for denial. Commercial requesters may only file a request for review for the limited purpose of reviewing whether the FOIA Officer properly determined the request was made for a commercial purpose. A Requester treated as a voluminous requester may only file a request for review with the PAC for the limited purpose of reviewing whether the FOIA Officer properly determined that the request was a voluminous request. B. Judicial Review A requester whose FOIA request is denied may file suit for injunctive or declaratory relief in the Circuit Court of the Eighteenth Judicial Circuit. V. FEES A. Fees Established Unless fees are waived or reduced pursuant to Section V.D below, each requester must pay the following fees for copying, certification, and mailing of public records, which the City has determined to be reasonably calculated to reimburse its actual cost for reproducing and certifying public records and for the use, by any person, of the equipment of the City to copy records: 1.

When the services of an outside vendor are required to copy a public record, the actual reasonable charges of the outside vendor will be the fees for copying such records, notwithstanding the fees stated above. If the City provides records in response to a request but fails to respond within the requisite periods, copies will be provided free of charge in accordance with Section 3(d) of the Act. B. Fees for Commercial Requests Commercial requesters may be subject to an additional fee of $10.00 for each hour spent by City personnel in searching for and retrieving a requested record. No fee will be charged for the first 8 hours spent by personnel in searching for or retrieving a requested record. Commercial requesters may also be charged the actual cost of retrieving and transporting public records from an off-site storage facility when the public records are maintained by a third-party storage company under contract with the City. If a fee is charged to a commercial requester under this section, the requester will be provided a receipt accounting for all fees, costs and personnel hours in connection with the request. C. Fees for Electronic Records (Voluminous Requests) The City will impose a fee for electronic records that fall under a voluminous request, as described in Section II.D.5 of this Policy.

E. Waiver of Fees The fees provided in Section V.A above may be waived or reduced by the FOIA Officer or another appropriately authorized official if the requester states the specific purpose of the request on the request and establishes to the reasonable satisfaction of the FOIA Officer that a fee waiver or reduction would be in the public interest. Any request for fee waiver or reduction must be indicated on the request at the time the request is filed. A fee waiver or reduction will be considered to be in the public interest only if the principal purpose of the request is to disseminate information regarding the public health, safety, and welfare or the legal rights of the general public and is not for the principal purpose of personal or commercial benefit to the requester. The FOIA Officer may consider the number of requested public records and the cost and necessity of copying them in setting the fee waiver or reduction amount. VI. CITY OBLIGATIONS A.

Staff subsequently evaluated the zoning implications of the proposal to identify the appropriate regulatory pathway. Staff drafted a Zoning Text Amendment to establish "Outdoor Athletic Fields, Publicly Owned" as a new land use classification, with a corresponding definition in Article IV of the Zoning Code, as a special use in the B-1 District. The amendment is intended to provide a regulatory framework for the installation and operation of publicly-owned outdoor athletic courts and fields in the downtown, including the futsal court proposed at the West Washington Street property. If the text amendment is approved, a separate special use permit, including a site plan and engineering drawings, for the specific installation at the West Washington Street property will be reviewed. Staff presented the concept to the Downtown Revitalization Commission (DRC) at its May 27, 2026 meeting. The DRC recommended approval of the concept, subject to the condition that the fields be located as far to the western edge of the property as possible to preserve the balance of the site for future redevelopment. The Plan Commission conducted a public hearing on the Zoning Text Amendment at its July 7, 2026 meeting and continued the case to the August 4, 2026 meeting for further consideration. By a vote of 0- 4, with 3 members absent, the Plan Commission did not approve a motion for a favorable recommendation, finding that the proposed use was not appropriate for the downtown district. Because this is a Zoning Text Amendment, a simple majority vote of the City Council is sufficient to approve the amendment despite the Plan Commission's unfavorable recommendation. ACTION PROPOSED: Consideration of the proposed Zoning Text Amendment establishing "Outdoor Athletic Fields, Publicly Owned" as a new land use classification and special use in the B-1 Central Business District. COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION: The Development Committee recommended approval by a vote of 4-3, including the Mayor’s affirmative vote as an ex-officio member of the Committee.
