GFOA Triple Crown Award Presentation and Distinguished Budget Presentation Award Recently, the City was notified by the Government Finance Officers Association that the City’s FY22 Popular Annual Financial Report (PAFR) has received the GFOA’s PAFR Award. The GFOA established the Popular Annual Financial Reporting Awards Program (PAFR Program) in 1991 to encourage and assist state and local governments to extract information from their annual comprehensive financial report to produce high quality popular annual financial reports specifically designed to be readily accessible and easily understandable to the general public and other interested parties without a background in public finance and then to recognize individual governments that are successful in achieving that goal. Successfully achieving this award puts the City in a very exclusive club as a GFOA “Triple Crown” winner for the 2nd year in a row. This designation is for governmental units that have been awarded the GFOA Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting, the GFOA Distinguished Budget Presentation award, and the GFOA PAFR Award. • The City has earned the GFOA Financial Reporting Award 44 consecutive years • The City has earned the GFOA Budget Presentation Award for 8 consecutive years, including recently being notified of receiving the award for the City’s FY24 budget • The City has earned the GFOA PAFR award for 2 consecutive years According to the US Census Bureau, there are more than 85,000 units of government in the US. Only 321 units of government in the United States currently hold “GFOA Triple Crown” recognition! The Finance Department team is to be commended for the excellent work they do each and every day that allows for the City to be successful in achieving these national recognitions. 5.

COUNCIL ACTION: Approval of October 2, 2023, City Council Meeting Minutes 2. Consideration of Adoption of Updated Versions of Previously Adopted State and National Life Safety and Building Codes Used by the City. (Final Approval) STAFF CONTACT: Catherine Czerniak, Director of Community Development (810-3504) 2 Monday, October 16, 2023, City Council Agenda At the October 2, 2023 meeting, the City Council approved first reading of an Ordinance adopting updated versions of previously adopted State and National Life Safety and Building Codes. The Ordinance is presented to the Council for final approval. Adoption of updated Codes is recommended for the following reasons.  To allow the City to remain current as construction methods, materials, and building and life safety regulations evolve.  Adoption of the updated Codes aligns the City with surrounding municipalities, and the County which is important given long standing contractual and shared service relationships through which the City provides fire protection services, annual life safety inspections, building plan reviews, and inspections for nearby communities.  The periodic Code updates continually strive to clarify and eliminate ambiguity in the earlier versions of the Codes.  City staff is well prepared for this transition having attended training sessions on a continuing basis to keep current with changes to construction methods, materials and State and Federal requirements. In particular, new requirements relating to energy efficiency and life safety are incorporated into the updated Codes.  Most architects and builders are familiar with the new versions of the Codes and are already designing to the updated standards. Importantly, as the City has done in the past, a transition period will be provided to assure that projects currently in the design process are not delayed or forced to make mid-project changes. Until January 1, 2024, plans designed to the current Codes will be accepted. All architects, design professionals, and contractors on file with the City will be notified of the updates if adopted by the City Council and will be made aware of the timeline for implementation. The following Code updates are proposed for adoption. The Ordinance also reflects minor changes to titles of the various Codes for consistency with the updates. National Fire Protection Association Codes (NFPA) • 101 Life Safety Code – 2021 • Fire Sprinkler Codes 13, 13D, 13R - 2019 • Fire Alarm Code - 2019 • Fire Code - 2021 International Mechanical Code IMC 2021 International Residential Code (IRC) 2021 International Building Code (IBC) 2021 International Fuel Gas Code IFGC 2021 National Electrical Code NEC - 2020 Following the adoption of the Code updates, staff will continue to review existing local Codes and bring amendments forward on an incremental basis to eliminate duplication and take full advantage of the technical framework provided in the State and National Codes. As appropriate, local, more restrictive Code provisions will be retained. All proposed Code amendments are presented to the City Council for adoption. The Ordinance approving the adoption of the updated Building and Life Safety Codes is included in the Council packet beginning on page 23. 3 Monday, October 16, 2023, City Council Agenda COUNCIL ACTION: Grant final approval of the Ordinance adopting updated versions of the State and National Building and Life Safety Codes. 3.

Items Related to Expanded Use of Elawa Farm by the Elawa Farm Foundation including Consideration of Amendments to the Special Use Permit as Recommended by the Zoning Board of Appeals, Consideration of an amended Lease Agreement, and Consideration of a Request for a Short-Term Loan. Elawa Farm is located at 1401 Middlefork Drive. (Waive First Reading and Grant Final Approval of an Ordinance and Grant Approvals by Motion) PRESENTED BY: Catherine Czerniak, Director of Community Development (810-3504) Elizabeth Holleb, Director of Finance (810-3612) PURPOSE AND ACTION REQUESTED: The Council is asked to consider a recommendation from the Zoning Board of Appeals in support of amendments to the Special Use Permit under which Elawa Farm operates to authorize expanded use of the facility by the Elawa Farm Foundation (the “Foundation”). To correspond with the amendments to the Special Use Permit, amendments to the Foundation’s Lease Agreement to reflect the expanded use of indoor 6 Monday, October 16, 2023, City Council Agenda and outdoor spaces at Elawa Farm, is also presented for Council consideration. To advance the Foundation’s plans to make improvements to the recently vacated spaces while private funds are being raised, the Foundation is requesting a bridge loan from the City. The City Council is asked to consider approval of the loan in concept at this time, a formal Loan Agreement will be presented to the Council for approval at a later date. BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: Elawa Farm, a community facility, operates under a Special Use Permit because it is a non-residential use located on residentially zoned property. As the Council is aware, recently, the City’s Wildlife Discovery Center (“WDC”), which was located at Elawa Farm as a co- tenant with the Foundation, was discontinued. As a result, the spaces, both indoor and outdoor, that were previously occupied by the WDC are now vacant. The Foundation proposes to expand into the vacated spaces. The proposed expansion of offerings by the Foundation is intended to enhance the availability of low impact and educational programs and activities at Elawa Farm, but also to assure an ongoing revenue stream for the Foundation to support programming and activities, and to help maintain the historic farm buildings and the garden as community assets. Amendments to the Special Use Permit The Foundation proposes to backfill the indoor and outdoor spaces vacated by the WDC by expanding food offerings which will be supported by a new kitchen planned at the south end of the east farm building, creating a reimagined Visitors’ Center, upgrading classroom and program spaces, and by returning a limited number of farm animals to the far southwest outdoor portion of the site. The proposed amendments are fully set forth in a blackline format in the Ordinance which is included in the Council packet beginning on page 52. The amendments to the Special Use Permit, as recommended by the Zoning Board of Appeals, are summarized below.  A daytime café is proposed as a convenience for those visiting Elawa Farm, Elawa Park, or the Forest Preserves District trails. Indoor and outdoor seating will be available and limited food and beverages will be offered for purchase. The café will be operated by the Foundation, not an outside private entity.  Additional “dinner on the farm” opportunities will be offered. Dinners will host up to 60 guests at a time, by prior registration only, up to three nights per week. The dinners will feature food from the garden and food prepared on site. The dinners will be operated by the Foundation, not an outside private entity. These dinners will be in addition to the evening events already permitted by the Special Use Permit including specialty fund raising events hosted by the Foundation and a limited number of private rental events.  A limited number of domestic farm animals are proposed in outdoor cages, in the area previously occupied by the WDC animals.  No additional private rentals are proposed and no changes to the current limitations on private rentals are proposed.  At this time, no use of the cottage is proposed by the Foundation. The condition of the cottage is being evaluated by the City. The Zoning Board of Appeals conducted a public hearing on this petition on July 24, 2023. The Board heard a presentation from Laura Calvert, Executive Director of the Elawa Farm 7 Monday, October 16, 2023, City Council Agenda Foundation, and heard public testimony. The public testimony was generally in support of the proposed amendments with some concern expressed about the overall level of activity resulting from the combination of the various users of Elawa Farm, the adjacent Forest Preserve, the City park, and the residential neighborhood. Additional parking is planned at the site as endorsed by the City Council’s Public Works Committee, and funding for the parking expansion will be considered by the Council as part of the upcoming budget process. The Board voted 6 to 0 to recommend approval of the amendments to the Special Use Permit. Findings in support of the Board’s recommendation are attached as an exhibit to the Ordinance which, along with the Board’s report and the minutes of the meeting are included in the Council packet beginning on page 64. Amended Lease Agreement The amendments proposed to the Special Use Permit as summarized above anticipate the Foundation expanding into the recently vacated space at Elawa Farm. The amended Lease Agreement addresses the additional square footage in the buildings and outdoors that will be utilized by the Foundation. The amendments acknowledge that the Foundation will be the only tenant at Elawa Farm, eliminating the need for common use areas and defines the expanded responsibilities the Foundation will have as the sole tenant. The City retains the ability to hold limited community meetings at Elawa Farm subject to coordination with the Executive Director of the Foundation. Exhibit B of the proposed lease agreement sets forth the rent amounts to be paid to the City. The current monthly rent of $3,977.17 would continue through May 31, 2024, to allow time for the Foundation to make improvements to the space previously occupied by the WDC. Effective June 1, 2024, the monthly rent amount would be increased to reflect the additional square footage to be occupied by the Foundation. Exhibit B also clearly denotes the operating costs included in the monthly rent paid to the City and the operating costs that will be borne by the Foundation. The Amended Lease is included in the Council packet beginning on page 75. Loan Request Upon Council approval of the amendments to the Special Use Permit and Lease Agreement, the Foundation will kick off a Capital Campaign to support the planned improvements in the farm buildings and outdoors on the site. The improvements will occur in phases over about 18 months with the first, and most significant phase, the construction of a more expansive and upgraded kitchen at the south end of the east building, planned to get underway very soon. Other facility improvements will provide improved classroom, programming, and visitor spaces and outdoor facilities to provide proper enclosures and care for the farm animals. The Foundation is requesting a bridge loan from the City to allow the planned improvements to be advanced while the Capital Campaign is underway. This loan would be similar to the loan previously approved for the Ragdale Foundation. At this time, the City Council is asked to approve the loan in concept and, if approved, City staff will work with Elawa representatives to draft a Loan Agreement for formal Council consideration at a later date. The key provisions of the loan are summarized below.  Amount: Up to $1,000,000 with a 12-month draw down period.  Interest Rate: 6.00% with interest paid quarterly. 8 Monday, October 16, 2023, City Council Agenda  Term: At the close of the 12-month draw down period, a repayment period of three years would commence with 1/3 of the principal amount due at the end of each year.  Collateral: Loan principal amount would be fully collateralized with Foundation funds on deposit. The City would receive monthly statements to verify the collateral amount.  Prepayment: Foundation would have the right to pay off the loan early without penalty. COUNCIL ACTION: If desired by the Council: Waive first reading and grant final approval of an Ordinance amending the Special Use Permit for Elawa Farm at 1401 Middlefork Drive as recommended by the Zoning Board of Appeals and as detailed in the Ordinance. AND By motion, approve an amended lease agreement with the Elawa Farm Foundation. AND By motion, approve in concept a loan by the City to the Elawa Farm Foundation in an amount not to exceed $1 million. 8. ADDITIONAL ITEMS FOR DISCUSSION/ COMMENTS BY COUNCIL MEMBERS 9.
