RECOMMENDATION: Approve a resolution to fund the city’s contribution to Ride in Kane with Pace in the amount of $195,733. BACKGROUND Since 1994, the city council has approved a series of one‐year agreements with Pace to provide Dial‐a‐Ride services to the residents of Elgin. In February 2008, the Kane County Paratransit Co‐ ordinating Council implemented the Ride in Kane Program. The benefits have included im‐ proved trip economy, expanded service hours and destination flexibility through the door to door transportation service for senior citizens and persons with disabilities. This program is de‐ termined to eliminate the barriers that keep seniors and disabled people from accessing relia‐ ble, affordable transportation in order for them to receive crucial services such as rides to their doctor or hospital for appointments or treatments, pharmacy and grocery stores for medicines and food and transportation to their jobs. The Ride in Kane Program operates 24 hours per day, every day of the year. Reservations must be made seven days in advance of the trip. Trips are provided within the Kane County area through a centralized call center that dispatches taxis, PACE lift‐equipped buses and other ser‐ vice providers for demand‐response, curb‐to‐curb transportation. To participate in the Ride in Kane Program, one must first be registered. Senior Services Associ‐ ates, Inc. registers residents in Elgin. To be eligible, a rider must be 65 years of age or older or person with a disability who has been issued a Regional Transportation Authority (RTA) reduced fare card or an ADA para‐transit service card from the RTA. The registered rider’s cost is $4.00 for the first ten miles and a $1.50 for every mile thereafter. One travel companion (i.e. spouse, friend, etc.) may ride with a registered rider at no additional charge. 1 OPERATIONAL ANALYSIS The total cost for the Ride in Kane program is $948,261. Funding is derived from a PACE subsidy in the amount of $179,893; a federal matching grant in the amount of $375,636; call center grants and call center subsidies totaling $88,080; and, the city’s contribution. The city’s contribution is increasing to $195,733 in 2014 as a result of higher operating costs. PACE’s cost estimate comparison for the years 2012‐2014 is shown immediately below. The cost estimate comparison shows that while Ride in Kane revenue has increased approxi‐ mately eighteen percent since 2012, its expenses have climbed nearly 42 percent during that same time period. With Ride in Kane’s expenses significantly outpacing its revenue increases since 2012, the formula for the city’s contribution to the program has been commensurately increasing. The city’s contribution in 2012 was $77,956. That contribution increased to $117,945 in 2013. It should be noted that the requested 2014 contribution is only an estimate since the actual ridership in a given year cannot be predicted with certainty. The city’s actual contribution for 2013 was $133,053, an amount $15,000 greater than the 2013 cost estimate. As stated above, the city’s contribution for 2014 is rising to $195,733. While Ride in Kane’s rid‐ ership has remained relatively stable during this time period, the duration of the rides has markedly increased, as evidenced by the “vehicle hours” figures shown in the table above. Ride in Kane’s clients are apparently utilizing the service for rides of a greater duration. 2 INTERESTED PERSONS CONTACTED The Ride in Kane sponsor committee is composed of a chairman, staff from PACE, the RTA and Kane County Department of Transportation as well as representatives of the following organiza‐ tions: Aid for Individual Development, Aurora Township, Batavia Township, Blackberry Town‐ ship, Campton Township, City of Elgin, City of Geneva, City of St. Charles, Dundee Township Partners, Hesed House, Kaneville Township, St. Charles Township, Senior Services Associates, Village of Campton Hills, Village of South Elgin, Elgin Township, City of Batavia, Village of Gil‐ berts, INC Board, Marklund and Two Rivers Head Start. FINANCIAL ANALYSIS The annual cost to operate the Ride in Kane Program in 2014 is estimated to be $948,261. Based on past ridership, the cost to the city to participate in this program is expected to be $195,733. The city of Elgin will fund 23 percent (less fare revenue) of the Ride in Kane Program, while a PACE subsidy, federal matching grant and a call center grant and subsidy will fund the remaining 77 percent. The local share estimate of $195,733 equates to an increase of $62,680 from the previous year’s actual expenses of $133,053. The increase in cost for the city’s local share according to PACE, is a rise in miles driven along with a small growth in ridership. The 2014 Riverboat budget included an allocation of $120,000 for the Ride in Kane Program. The estimated increase in program costs will require the use of contingency funds to supplement the existing budget. BUDGET IMPACT FUND(S) ACCOUNT(S) PROJECT #(S) AMOUNT BUDGETED AMOUNT AVAILABLE Riverboat 275‐0000‐791.80‐43 $120,000 $120,000 Riverboat 275‐0000‐791.84.01 $100,000 $100,000 LEGAL IMPACT A PACE subsidy agreement between the city of Elgin and Pace will need to be executed. A New Freedom/JARC service agreement between the city of Elgin and AID will also need to be exe‐ cuted. ALTERNATIVES The city council may choose not to approve the financial contribution towards the local share cost, thereby electing not to participate in the Ride in Kane Program. 3 NEXT STEPS 1. Execute the 2014 PACE subsidy agreement. 2. Execute the New Freedom/JARC service agreement. 3. Provide monthly payments to PACE per the executed service agreement. 4. Continue to monitor registration, ridership and customer feedback reports.

Data provided for each trip will include associated trip data such as rider name, scheduled pick-up time, actual pick-up time, point of origin address, destination address, funding sources (sponsors), total cost of the trip, fare for the trip, distance of the trip, revenue hours (if applicable). The exact content of the report in its final form may vary depending on the feasibility of including the large amount of data specified in one report. It is possible that the report may be broken into one or more additional reports to make the data more manageable for the user. Plans call for the report to be sorted by provider, funding source, rider, and fare type. 2. Monthly Source (Sponsor) Invoice Report The intent of this report is to produce one or more summary reports of trips delivered for each funding sources (sponsor) for the purposes of generating an invoice type report which may be used to bill funding sources for transportation provided. The normal report period would be monthly, but the report is intended to have the flexibility to produce data for shorter or longer periods specified by the user. Data provided for each trip will include associated trip data necessary to provide an accounting of the amount owed by each funding source for the specified period, such as the number of one-way trips by Fare Type, total cost of the trips, total expected fare, liquidated damages deducted, the total net reimbursement. The exact content of the port in its final form may vary depending on Pace and provider needs. The report may be broken into one or more additional reports if that design is more useful. Plans call for the report to be sorted by provider, funding source, fare type, and rider. 3. Missed Trip Report The Missed Trip Report is intended to produce a list of all trips picked up 61 or more minutes after the scheduled time; the Ride in Kane service guideline defining a missed trip.

E AGENDA ITEM: MEETING DATE: May 28, 2014 ITEM: Amendment No 2 with Burns and McDonnell, Inc. to Add Construction Administration Engineer‐ ing Services for a 2014 Street Rehabilitation Project ($296,176) OBJECTIVE: Ensure quality infrastructure and strengthen the city’s neighborhoods by administrating the construction of a street rehabilitation project, specifically the Locust Street Rehabilitation pro‐ ject. RECOMMENDATION: Amend the current professional services agreement with Burns and McDonnell, Inc. to add con‐ struction administration services in the amount of $296,176. BACKGROUND The original agreement with Burns and McDonnell, Inc. for the 2014 Street Rehabilitation and Combined Sewer Separation – Standish/Elm Project Number 340054 was approved on February 27, 2013. Included in the agreement was design engineering services for water main, sanitary and storm sewer replacement and repairs as well as the design effort for a street rehabilitation project. On May 8, 2013, the Water Department presented to city council an amendment to this agreement to add sanitary sewer design related to the Lord Street Combined Sewer Sepa‐ ration. The original engineering service agreement (design) and this first amendment (also de‐ sign) provided the design of street rehabilitation, storm and sanitary sewers for a large area in the southwest quadrant of the city. The attached amendment agreement (construction admin‐ istration) will provide for construction oversight for a portion of the overall design. The remain‐ der of the designed work is planned to go out to bid and constructed over the next few years. This first phase has been named the Locust Street Project and will result in street rehabilitation, storm sewer, sanitary sewer and water main improvements and ancillary improvements along a couple of streets including Locust, Chicago and Crystal. The construction administration provided by the attached amendment will provide construc‐ tion oversight in improving approximately 4,000 lineal feet of storm sewer and 0.2 miles of city streets, as well as small amounts of sanitary sewer and water main. The award of the construc‐ tion contract for the Locust Street Project was completed on May 14, 2014 as Bid 14‐006. The 1 attached amendment agreement will provide the typical construction engineering services for the projects. The services will include observation of construction procedures, quality control quantity documentation and contractor payment processing. OPERATIONAL ANALYSIS The attached amendment will provide the construction administrative effort necessary to in‐ sure the city receives the best possible infrastructure and coordination on this significant pro‐ ject, street rehabilitation with utility replacements. The street rehabilitation project, once con‐ structed, will alleviate the typical maintenance effort provided by public works for water main breaks, pot hole patching, damaged sidewalks and curbs, sewer problems and relative issues for years to come. The street rehabilitation projects have historically improved the image of a neighborhood and encouraged private property improvements thus increasing the property values. INTERESTED PERSONS CONTACTED None. FINANCIAL ANALYSIS Amendment No. 2 to the agreement with Burns and McDonnell, Inc. will total $296,175.72. The original agreement, amendment agreement No. 1 and this amendment agreement No. 2 will total $1,101,919.44. The amendment agreement No. 2 fee includes $6,000 for water main, $216,000 for sewer work and $75,000 for street work. The total cost of the project including construction and engineering services is approximately $4,353,000. The amount available noted below reflects the budgeted funds after the bid awards for construction. BUDGET IMPACT FUND(S) ACCOUNT(S) PROJECT # AMOUNT AMOUNT BUDGETED AVAILABLE Capital Improvements 385‐0000‐795.92‐41 340067 $3,000,000 $296,200 LEGAL IMPACT None. ALTERNATIVES The city council may choose not to authorize Amendment No. 2 to the agreement with Burns and McDonnell, Inc. This option will require the previously awarded construction contract to have its oversight conducted by another entity. 2 NEXT STEPS 1. Execute the amendment. 2. Issue directive to engineer to begin work. Originators: Final Review: Joseph Evers, City Engineer Colleen Lavery, Chief Financial Officer William A. Cogley, Corporation Counsel/Chief Development Officer Richard G. Kozal, Assistant City Manager/Chief Operating Officer Sean R. Stegall, City Manager ATTACHMENTS A. Amendment No. 2 to Agreement 3 Attachment A Engineering Services Amendment Agreement With Burns and McDonnell For Construction Administration for 2014 Neighborhood Street Rehabilitation Locust Street F AGENDA ITEM: MEETING DATE: May 28, 2014 ITEM: Professional Services Agreement with SNAP Consulting and Associates, LLC for Consulting Ser‐ vices for the Diversity and Inclusion Strategic Plan ($30,000) OBJECTIVE: Provide assistance and professional direction with the creation and implementation of a multi‐ phase diversity and inclusion program. RECOMMENDATION: Approve the execution of a professional services agreement for services with SNAP Consulting and Associates, LLC. in the amount of $30,000. ______________________________________________________________________________ BACKGROUND At its 2012 retreat, the city council identified workplace and vendor diversity and inclusion as a strategic priority. Phil Reed, owner of SNAP Consulting and Associates, LLC, was hired at that time to assist staff in the establishment of a diversity committee and to guide the team in the creation of a diversity and inclusion strategic plan. The plan was created and presented to council at its March 6, 2013 committee of the whole meeting and discussed further at the March 1, 2014 retreat. Last year council authorized an agreement to continue Mr. Reed’s pro‐ fessional services which included analyzing the city’s workforce demographics and vendor spend and conducting interviews with council members. The diversity and inclusion strategic priority has been characterized as “a marathon, not a sprint” and thus requires ongoing assistance from a subject matter expert. The city should con‐ tinue utilizing SNAP’s services to maintain the momentum and progress of the diversity com‐ mittee. OPERATIONAL ANALYSIS The diversity and inclusion initiative requires organization‐wide cultural and operational chang‐ es. Phil Reed is a subject matter expert who has the credibility and experience to continue to shepherd city staff through these transformations. Phil Reed has over 25 years of experience as an internal and external consultant in the areas of diversity and inclusion, organizational devel‐ opment, change management and supplier diversity. Mr. Reed has experience in gaining lead‐ ership commitment for such programs and assisting with creation of measurable outcomes. Mr. Reed is familiar with Elgin, its senior leadership, its non‐profit organizations and the Human Re‐ lations Commission. He has worked closely with the multi‐departmental Diversity Committee for over a year. Given his familiarity with the city and wealth of experience, he is the ideal per‐ son to lead the city through this organizational change. INTERESTED PERSONS CONTACTED The diversity committee, consisting of staff members and representatives of the Human Rela‐ tions Commission, and the Elgin Human Relations Commission were contacted regarding the proposed agreement. FINANCIAL ANALYSIS In order to further the diversity and inclusion strategic priority staff recommends executing a professional services agreement with SNAP Consulting and Associates, LLC. in the amount of $30,000. SNAP consulting has previously assisted staff with the establishment of a diversity team, creation of a diversity and inclusion strategic plan, analysis of the city’s workforce de‐ mographics and vendor spend as well as performing interviews with council members. The total cost of these services was $28,637.50. BUDGET IMPACT FUND(S) ACCOUNT(S) PROJECT #(S) AMOUNT BUDGETED AMOUNT AVAILABLE General 010‐0601‐714.30‐99 N/A $30,000 $30,000 LEGAL IMPACT The proposed agreement would require an exception to the procurement ordinance which re‐ quires approval by two thirds of the members of the city council. ALTERNATIVES The city council may choose not to enter into a professional services agreement for consulting services from SNAP Consulting and Associates, LLC. The city could look for another consultant with less familiarity with the city and the diversity/inclusion plan or rely upon staff to create, implement and monitor the diversity and inclusion strategic priority. 2 NEXT STEPS Execute the professional services agreement with SNAP Consulting and Associates, LLC. ______________________________________________________________________________ Originators: Gail Cohen, Human Resources Director Final Review: Colleen Lavery, Chief Financial Officer William A.

RECOMMENDATION: Approve resolution with the Illinois Department of Transportation to guarantee that all work shall be performed in accordance with conditions of the permit granted by the department in lieu of a surety bond. BACKGROUND Public works personnel regularly respond to and repair watermain breaks and sewer backups throughout the city. On many occasions, these repairs must be completed within roadways un‐ der the jurisdiction of the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT). Roadways in Elgin that fall under IDOT’s jurisdiction include: Illinois Route 25 (Dundee Ave., Page Ave., Liberty St., Bluff City Blvd., St. Charles St.) Illinois Route 31 (State St.) Illinois Route 19 (East Chicago St.) Illinois Route 58 (Summit St.) U.S. Route 20 (Lake St.) Weld Rd. Foothill Rd. Bluff City Blvd. (east of Gifford Rd.) Whenever work is completed within an IDOT right‐of‐way, permits are required from IDOT to guarantee that all necessary traffic control is utilized and to ensure that all work is completed in accordance with IDOT’s minimum specifications. A watermain break is considered an emergen‐ cy repair so time is of the essence to complete the repair. Delaying repairs while permits are secured can cause additional severe damage and increased repair costs. It is therefore benefi‐ cial to agree with IDOT on a process that will expedite issuance of permits. OPERATIONAL ANALYSIS Existing provisions in the state’s regulations allow IDOT to hold municipalities accountable for work conducted in the state’s right‐of‐way that is not performed in accordance to IDOT’s standards. In lieu of requiring municipalities to post a surety bond to guarantee the work they perform in an IDOT right‐of‐way, IDOT is merely requesting that municipalities pass resolutions that guarantee the quality of their work in lieu of a surety bond. Adopting the resolution will allow the city to proceed with required work in an IDOT right‐of‐ way without first securing a permit and posting a surety bond with IDOT. This action will ensure the city’s ability to effect timely repairs without delay. INTERESTED PERSONS CONTACTED None. FINANCIAL ANALYSIS There is no cost to the city for the adoption of this resolution. BUDGET IMPACT FUND(S) ACCOUNT(S) PROJECT #(S) AMOUNT AMOUNT BUDGETED AVAILABLE N/A N/A N/A N/A N/A LEGAL IMPACT None. ALTERNATIVES The city council may choose to reject the resolution, issue surety bonds and secure individual permits for each repair. NEXT STEPS Execute the resolution and forward to IDOT. 2 Originators: Final Review: Kyla B. Jacobsen, Water Director Colleen Lavery, Chief Financial Officer William A.

Sample IDOT Resolution IDOT Request for Renewal of Resolution 3 H AGENDA ITEM: MEETING DATE: May 28, 2014 ITEM: Proposed Agreement with Classic Enterprises, Ltd., d/b/a Chooch’s Pizzeria, for Downtown Business Loan Interest Subsidy Program ($33,967 over five years) OBJECTIVE: Utilize the city’s economic development programs to enhance economic vitality and viability in the downtown. RECOMMENDATION: Enter into a five‐year agreement with Classic Enterprises, Ltd., d/b/a Chooch’s Pizzeria, for Downtown Business Loan Interest Subsidy Program at the cost of $33,967. BACKGROUND Classic Enterprises, Ltd. operates Chooch’s Pizzeria at 64 South Grove Avenue. The principals in Classic Enterprises are Michael and Daniel Butirro. The Butirros purchased the property in March 2011 and initiated an extensive rehabilitation of the two‐story commercial structure. The inappropriate facade that was grafted on to the building during the 1970’s was removed as part of the Butirros’ rehabilitation, restoring the building with a historically accurate architecture. The Butirros also created an outside seating area on the building’s rear or west facade that complements the Riverside Side Drive Promenade. Chooch’s Pizzeria opened for business in December 2012 and has proven to be a popular and thriving destination in the downtown. Classic Enterprises is seeking to utilize the assistance from the Downtown Business Interest Loan Program to assist with the acquisition and renovation costs for the property at 64 South Grove Avenue. The Downtown Business Loan Interest Subsidy Program (program) has been providing financial assistance to downtown businesses and property owners for more than ten years. The program pays a portion of the interest on certain business loans not exceeding $200,000 for a period of five years to assist downtown businesses during their first critical years of operation or expansion or with the acquisition and/or renovation of property. 1 Depending on the type of loan obtained, the city pays up to 90 percent of the interest on the loan during the first year; 80 percent in the second year; 70 percent in the third year; 60 percent in the fourth year; and, 50 percent in the final year of program eligibility. Under current program guidelines, eligible loans must be amortized over a ten‐year period, must be at or above the prime rate of interest and may not exceed 10 percent interest. The program also caps interest payments paid by the city to any participating business at $70,000. In November, 2010 the program was amended to authorize 20‐year amortizations solely in the case of SBA 504 loans. Most recently, Al’s Café and the Elgin Public House restaurants have participated in the program, along with the commercial offices established at 164‐66 East Chicago Street by Leath Partners, LLC and at 216 Prairie Street by THKFL, Inc. OPERATIONAL ANALYSIS Classic Enterprises, Ltd. has secured a commercial loan for $192,000 at 5.50 percent from Spring Lane Investments, LLC. Classic Enterprises meets all program eligibility requirements as outlined in the program guidelines. The interest subsidy is paid by the city to the property owner on a quarterly basis upon receipt of proof of that quarter’s payments. Classic Enterprise’s ability to secure a commercial loan in the highly restrictive lending environment is indicative of a sound financial base. With interest rates at historic lows, the Downtown Business Loan Interest Subsidy Program can leverage its programming revenue to take advantage of the lower interest payments to provide assistance to a greater number of small businesses seeking to locate or expand within the downtown’s commercial space. INTERESTED PERSONS CONTACTED The Downtown Neighborhood Association of Elgin facilitated this project as part of the city’s purchase of services agreement with that organization. FINANCIAL ANALYSIS During the five‐year period of program eligibility from 2013 through 2017, the annual interest subsidy will be as follows: 2 Year 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 TOTAL Total Interest $ 9,104.10 $ 7,910.54 $ 6,753.50 $ 5,636.39 $ 4,562.90 $ 33,967.43 BUDGET IMPACT FUND(S) ACCOUNT(S) Riverboat 275‐0000‐791.80‐27 PROJECT #(S) AMOUNT BUDGETED AMOUNT AVAILABLE 177129 $36,300 $36,300 LEGAL IMPACT None. ALTERNATIVES The city council may choose to reject staff’s proposal to utilize this program to attract this project to downtown.

(Revised April 13, 2011) 3 Exhibit B Exhibit C I AGENDA ITEM: MEETING DATE: May 28, 2014 ITEM: Development Agreement with Multifilm Packaging Corporation (No Outflow of Funds) OBJECTIVE: Entering into a development agreement to induce both the expansion of an existing manufac‐ turing facility and the purchase and expansion of what will become a 70,000 square‐foot com‐ mercial and industrial building that will create approximately thirty new manufacturing jobs. RECOMMENDATION: Approve the development agreement with Multifilm Packaging Corporation. BACKGROUND Multifilm Packaging Corporation (Multifilm) is what the packaging industry refers to as a “flexi‐ ble packaging manufacturer,” creating the flexible packaging used for candy wrappers and oth‐ er confections, snack foods, coffee and the like. It is a fully‐integrated manufacturer serving the North American market. Multifilm’s manufacturing facility is located just west of the southwest corner of North McLean Boulevard and Big Timber Road (1400 N. McLean Boulevard). As the business has grown, it has been expanding its office area into the vacant former retail store‐ fronts in the building east of the manufacturing facility. The business has been management‐ owned and operated since 2008. Multifilm is seeking to invest approximately $6 million in the expansion of its existing facility and $8 million in the purchase and expansion of a new manufacturing facility. The new facility will ultimately create approximately 30 new manufacturing jobs. Environmental stewardship is a hallmark of Multifilm’s business. Multifilm’s in‐house staff de‐ signed the facility’s Geothermal Process Cooling & HVAC System. With this system, Multifilm ranks among the least energy‐consuming converters. All of Multifilm’s products are FDA‐ approved and completely free of BPA and lead, and it additionally offers materials that are PVC‐ free. Multifilm’s facility also adheres to a zero waste‐to‐landfill protocol. The city’s Sustainabil‐ ity Commission is familiar with Multifilm’s facility and its environmental initiatives and has lauded its practices. Multifilm is considering the purchase of a vacant, commercial property at 1700 Big Timber Road. The 41,500 square‐foot building is located across the street (Big Timber Road) from Mul‐ tifilm’s manufacturing facility. If Multifilm purchases 1700 Big Timber Road, it will begin the work necessary for installing a new manufacturing line that will be operational by December. Multifilm will also begin the planning necessary to construct an approximately 30,000 square‐ foot addition to 1700 Big Timber Road to accommodate the increased production demands from a food manufacturer with a multinational presence. The parcel at 1700 Big Timber Road is zoned PAB—a Planned Area Business District zoning. The permitted land uses for that parcel include all permitted uses in the AB zoning district plus four additional, permitted manufacturing land uses that are not otherwise permitted in the AB zon‐ ing district. The addition of the four manufacturing land uses is the reason for the parcel being zoned PAB rather than AB. Multifilm’s manufacturing business does not fall within the meaning of any of the four permit‐ ted manufacturing uses designated in the PAB zoning for the parcel. Multifilm is classified as a "Packaging Paper and Plastics Film, Coated and Laminated” land use. The PAB zoning classifica‐ tion for the parcel will have to be amended to include this land use as a permitted use within that zoning district so that Multifilm can manufacture at that location. The construction of the 30,000 square‐foot addition may also require variances from the zoning ordinance’s off‐street parking and setback requirements. OPERATIONAL ANALYSIS Multifilm is alternatively considering expanding its operations in a commercial facility located in Cary, Illinois. The developer of the industrial park where that facility is located is offering ex‐ tremely aggressive pricing. And the village of Cary is offering three‐years of property tax re‐ bates to Multifilm as an incentive to establish operations in Cary. Multifilm has been advised that the city council will not support property tax rebates or other cash incentives to establish a new facility in Elgin. The staff is proposing an economic development incentive package to Multifilm that includes the following salient components: Multifilm will expand its operations by acquiring and expanding the property at 1700 Big Timber Road, investing approximately $8‐10 million as part of that initiative. Multifilm will expand its existing operation at 1040 N. McLean Boulevard, investing ap‐ proximately $6 million as part of that initiative. 2 The city will conduct a “fast‐track” permitting process for Multifilm in connection with (1) the proposed $6 million expansion of Multifilm’s existing facility at 1040 N. McLean Boulevard, and (2) the establishment of a new $8‐10 million manufacturing facility at 1700 Big Timber Road, including the construction of a 30,000 square‐foot addition to that building. The city will agree to rezone the PAB zoning classification for the parcel at 1700 Big Tim‐ ber Road so that Multifilm’s manufacturing operation is classified as a permitted use within that zoning district. The city will also agree to grant reasonably necessary vari‐ ances from the zoning ordinance’s off‐street parking, setback and other site design re‐ quirements that may be necessitated by the construction of the 30,000 square‐foot ad‐ dition to the building on the parcel and for the expansion of the existing facility at 1040 N. McLean Boulevard. All zoning relief will be consistent with the regulations established in the city’s zoning ordinance in Title 19 of the Elgin Municipal Code and Illinois law. The timeframe for rezoning approval by the planning and zoning commission and city council generally requires 90 days. Multifilm must have its new manufacturing facility operational by this December. Multifilm has advised the staff that the planning and zoning commission’s and city council’s approximately 90‐day legislative approval schedule prevents Multifilm from be‐ ginning the work necessary to have its new manufacturing line operational in the time required by its customer with multi‐national operations. INTERESTED PERSONS CONTACTED None. FINANCIAL ANALYSIS This economic incentive proposal reflects the city council’s policy directive to eliminate direct cash incentives for business expansion or retention initiatives outside the Central Area TIF Dis‐ trict. The expansion of Multifilm’s Elgin facility will provide additional property tax revenue to the General Fund and the establishment of a new facility at 1700 Big Timber Road will ultimate‐ ly create approximately 30 manufacturing jobs with above‐average wages. With Multifilm serv‐ ing the entire North American market and being a provider to global manufacturers, Multifilm’s expanded presence in Elgin enhances the city’s reputation as a favorable location for multina‐ tional corporations. The city’s economic development incentive offer is expected to positively affect Multifilm’s decision to expand its operations in Elgin rather than consolidate its opera‐ tions and facilities in Cary, Illinois or some other location. 3 BUDGET IMPACT FUND(S) ACCOUNT(S) PROJECT #(S) NA NA NA AMOUNT BUDGETED NA AMOUNT AVAILABLE NA LEGAL IMPACT None.
