Next is citizens to be heard on agenda items.

Is there anyone who would like to speak on an agenda item this evening?

And hey, uh again, I speak on this agenda item number 108.

You know, page thing here.

As I said last night, um some great points that I made about the how much center point has negatively affected people and everything.

There's more to it and everything, which I of course I didn't like or not.

So many points that I know you all know about everything that we are facing here.

You know, that's why did Mayor Darcy has come up with your comprehensive plan to try to find out a way to get around all this problems at center point, of course, is very good all the truck traffic in our area.

Which is maybe maybe Ariel Will County become the warehouse of the county warehouses because of it.

You know, we've had roles that had to be redone.

You know, we have uncommon construction that's never gonna stop because the trucks you know keep over more and more.

If center point was never here, we wouldn't have these trucks.

We have all these warehouses.

You know, when a center point was done here, you know, we already did 70 million one yellow.

We totally did the I55 hours in the world in our change.

That's over 70 million.

Then when they had our total bridge done, you know, route six and I eight.

That was over 34 million.

But the public has to pay.

And all these other roads that need to be that have been have been made and everything, and just ongoing.

It never ends and everything.

And the trucks have just been, like you said, turn the roads up and costing taxpayers so much on these roads that we fix, which is never ending.

Every time, you know, wouldn't you know we see in the area I-80, I-55 constantly being redone and everything, and as soon as they get done with it, of course, the rules are all messed up again for these trucks.

And it's just created everything.

And Center Point promise that you know we wouldn't have to pay for all this stuff and everything.

Well, inspect all the boomer warehouses coming, you know, because these everything wants to go into their warehouses.

And another point I want to make is why is it, you know, being the largest inland port, as we all heard that phrase be keep on being repeated.

Why do we got every load in America on a coast that come from the coastal ports coming here to Will County to center point intermodals?

And then we got trucks from all the U.S.

coming up here to get loads to pick up here in Will County to the center point in our models or warehouses and bring back to other states.

Why don't those trains line up at the coast and take those loads right to those states instead of bringing them all here to Illinois here to Will County here and put it on our streets and we have all the trucks in America coming here?

I don't think we should be having to have that.

There's other solutions to where we can get around that and stop sending every load in America here because Center Point wants all the loads to come there and removal and everything.

But you know, and the point is, you know, what I stress, and I have been stressed in is the first thing is words out of center point's mouth when all this began when they came to Joe.

Yeah, the first words of our mouth is told everybody what we are gonna do, we ain't gonna change, alter, or affect anybody's lifestyles.

Needless to say, mine has been affected so bad because why am I where I'm at now?

Homeless living in a hotel room.

Why have I lost everything I had?

Even my mom, my friends, my boss, even my other old neighbor, one of my best friends.

I've lost them now.

I don't have that anymore in my life.

And I am homeless and struggling every day trying to find a reason to go on and keep on living.

And it's very impossible to do.

So they they ruined the area, needs to say.

And it shouldn't be granted any more things.

Okay, seeing none.

Next, our council committee reports.

First, we will hear from land use and economic development.

Land use and economic development man.

In attendance with Councilwoman Ibarra, Councilman Mudron and myself, and all the study staff members.

Uh we were used to agenda items, agenda item TNP 9380, honorary street name designation for Reverend Larry Ellis Way, uh, water street between Joyce Street and Ottawa Street.

Uh we had a few people coming up their comments, positioner Tristan Brown and others talk about the Reverend Larry Ellis and the shoe dedication.

Councilwoman Ibarra also spoke on about uh Reverend Larry Ellis and his contributions and commitment to Juliet.

Father and our review discussion, the committee recommended advanced item to the full council for approval with our support.

Uh then we reviewed TNP 9451, which is a resolution conveying 12 properties to the World County Habitat for Humanity.

Uh community development director of Dustin Anderson spoke about the surplus properties and how the city's trying to strategically divest some of these properties we have partnered with Habitat Humanity and have gone through it, had gone through and identified eight parcels that found to be reliably readily buildable.

Uh the city would like to have a resolution that will allow us to convey those parcels to habitat for humanity.

Father and a review of that discussion can be recommended as this side was the full council for approval and our support.

Oh, that's perfect.

Thank you.

Mayor, that's my vote.

Thank you.

Public safety.

Yeah, thank you.

The public safety committee met today here in the council chambers at 5.30.

Present was uh councilwoman Suzanne Barrow, Councilwoman Jan Quillman and myself.

We approved uh the minutes from January 6, 2026.

Um, agenda items award or professional services agreement for ambulance building services for the City of Joey Fire Department 2026 through 2028 to EMS management and consultants not to exceed one million dollars for 2026 through 2028.

Uh this will save uh the city some dollars with this uh new contract.

Um next uh purchase of four complete Horton Amulances from Foster Coach in the amount of one million five hundred and seventy-one thousand three hundred and fifty-six dollars for budget years 2027 through 2028.

Um get two uh one year and then an additional two the following year, so it'll be a total of four.

Um purchase of 12 Bullard QX T pro thermal integers and 12 basic feature packs of the Jolie Fire Department from Dings Fire Company amount of 91,140 dollars.

Their current life end of life is common with these uh with this equipment, so um that's on uh tonight's agenda for approval.

Then approval purchase of uplift of one new vehicle for the investigations division, asset forfeiture detective not to exceed 65,000 dollars.

The chief explained that every two years we do this, the current vehicle that will be replaced, they will go back to the pool.

Um, and the money is coming from asset forfeiture.

Uh we did um we just speak yesterday about this pair green contract.

Uh Deputy Chief uh Buck Boatson is going to come back on uh the 17th of February to give the council and the public a demo of what this actually does.

We did um make a motion motion to move it to full council with no recommendation.

We just don't have all the information yet, but I'm sure that uh after the demo this this will get approved.

Um then there's under ordinances, ordinance amending chapter 12, section 13g to impose lift assist fees in accordance with House Bill 236.

Um this was talked about from our fire chief yesterday.

Basically, what's happening is some of these assisted living um facilities are calling the ambulance multiple times, many times a week, months, and this is adding up.

Uh so this is gonna uh put a stop to some of that, I believe.

Susanna Ibarrow did bring up um you know make sure we let uh these places the establishments know that what what we're trying to do here, so we'll let them know.

And then under resolutions, resolution authorizes execution of a memorandum of understanding between the city of Joliet and the Will County Sheriff's Office.

Basically, um our narcotics need to be basically this is an incinerator, so this is just an agreement.

This is gonna be no charge to the city of Joliet, and Will County Sheriff's Office is gonna uh take care of this for the Joliet Police Department, and then under a resolution to accept and implement the grant, a grant from the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity under Public Act 103-006.

Basically, this is a grant for $50,000.

Um, Illinois State Senator put this together, Meg Meg Capel, and basically what this is going to do is give the uh city of the police department 14 drones total.

So that's gonna help the police department out there.

We do not have any new or old business, not for final action recommendation.

There was no public comment.

All these items except for the pair of grant contract were voted on and to move on to the full council.

Did I miss that?

Okay, thank you.

That's a very important part of the mayor.

Thanks, Joe.

Public service.

Public service not here in the city chambers, council chambers yesterday at 4 30 in the afternoon.

On the committee and in attendance with councilwoman, councilman and myself, as well as uh public service and public utility utilities.

Um we have nine contracts looked at when we look at contract what we're doing, is working with the staff to make sure they were bid correctly.

Volta line bidding system or field and under law that they meet all the criteria for all that get fee of the uh award, and then we have four chain orders.

Available for all nine contracts.

There are several of them that are just small, like fixing a garage door at our uh new facility at Osgood that we're gonna convert for our use of public works.

The big ones were uh 805,000 for six Peter Built chassis along with two heavy duck bodies.

This uh these are uh trucks that will be used in both the public works and public service.

Uh there's a two-year outway for that, so they won't mostly be delivered for two more years.

We looked at the at the those that wasn't bid uh that was done through a assistant with the state or the state clear of the bids.

It gives the lowest price they can.

The big ones were uh about 9.3 million on a contract with the on-board water main improvement project to deconstruction for uh work on Hawking Avenue with the U.S.

Glenwood and 6.6 million to Austin Tyler for the Glenwood and what bigger water improvement project.

And along with that, I have 4.6 or $4.6 million engineering contract with Barnes and McDonald's.

You won't see any reviews, any award contract on this was awarded in 2023 when we went uh into the uh uh alternative water uh project and every year they get uh that year's portion of the overall contract.

4.6 million in engineering is in line with industry standards on roughly 66 million dollars worth of uh water main replacements this year, which comes out to about 29.

So that's less than about 8% of the contract that's category one of these engineering.

Other change orders and pay estimates, we looked at uh four that were there.

Um was uh uh the change order in the owner of $75,000 for me electric.

They provide us with consulting service on electrical.

Um we adjusted the completion date for the heavy park water main improvement project for PT Fair because it was some issue that had come up, they weren't able to finish it by December, so we'll finish it by April.

So we looked at all these items, discussed them amongst ourselves, the three days and the staff, and followed them all be in order.

And so therefore, everything on the agenda was passed unanimously and move forward to this council committee recommendation to approve.

Did I miss anything, folks?

No, okay.

All right, that's my report.

Ordinance approving an amendment to the final plan unit development of Prairie Landing Subdivision.

Ordinance number 18739 to allow additional house plans.

PUDE-1-26.

It is recommended said ordinance be adapted.

Mayor?

I have a request actually.

I talked to uh the representative as well as the staff about this.

And I understand the market, you know, offering a single story ranch is too remote.

I'd like to.

The only thing I want to see, I thought I'm a suggestion, sorry, for the last minute.

Is a camp.

I don't want to see all the houses single family 1500.

I'll cap on how what percentage of that involvement can be the single family smaller.

You understand what I'm saying?

So I thought here.

Is that going to be doable?

Good evening, Mayor Garcy members of the council.

Uh Councilman Hug, um the short answer is yes.

I guess I would need to know what specifically you're contemplating.

I I wasn't anticipating the question, so I don't have a number in my head.

I'm sure we can arrive at something.

Yeah, you know, so I mean, is it something that we need to table?

Or is it something we can make an amendment right now?

So this amendment is just to allow the ranch homes, but articulate for me again what we need to have.

In a complete build law, there's a limit to what percentage of the total number of homes being built there can be these smaller ones.

So they don't have subdivision.

You know, a lot of the residents that live around it was sold on two story uh houses that were between two and twenty six hundred, two thousand and twenty-six hundred.

We do have some single story and a couple of the subdivisions around there.

They tend to be at 1800, you know, single story, but they're loaded ranches.

Um not a lot of pushback.

That's the good news.

There's several people that showed up, and I think you did answer the question of the two people that have questions.

Correct.

Right.

The other person was just against it.

Um there was no question.

I believe we can't just make a statement.

I'd like to see that uh that limit because I don't want to see this subdivision go from what was going to be many two stories of 2,000, 4 or 5 to uh 2600 down to all of them being 1,500 square feet and say tiny houses.

You see what I'm saying?

I don't know.

I can throw a number out.

I don't know that you know not to those two that you're introducing, not to exceed 50% of the other development.

That's not and how do we do that?

Can can can we can we legally add that right now and go ahead and on the fly, I think it'd be hard to get a number.

I don't know what this is the first, I think everyone's hearing about this.

Yes, it is.

We can we can there you can amend on the floor, but I think what Todd is saying is we might need a little time to identify what you're looking for.

Right, we can do this before the next meeting two weeks now.

So if you're asking to postpone this, that is a debatable motion, you can't make that motion.

Right, but you're saying that we can't just make it on the fly right now.

You could, but I you guys will come for the rules we have time to talk about it.

Yeah, okay.

And I at this point, if you don't mind two weeks, right?

I'm gonna and I'll supported it.

If we make the stage, you and I talked.

Yeah, um that we we we we postpone this for the next meeting two weeks from now, and I could meet staff and Horton a chance to come to the number that would be most suitable.

But you understand what I'm trying to accomplish.

And I do apologize.

I didn't think of it until today.

I didn't think of it yesterday because somebody called me today.

He said, are we gonna have a bunch of 50?

I said, you know what?

Shouldn't have thought of that yesterday, and I did got past me.

So that's what I want to do.

Is put a cap.

I don't want to see turning into a bunch of 1500 square foot.

Um that's not what was presented to to all the meeters.

And I don't need that as a plan.

Your plan.

No, but we need to have it in writing.

Yeah, to establish a cap.

Is that what you're asking?

No, to be all 1,500 square foot.

You're not planning on having all 1500.

Certainly not.

I mean, as the council is supposed to be followed there from this past spring.

The plan was always to build the community with exclusively two-story homes.

What I'm here before you now is specifically in in response to market interest.

Right.

And I know it's not your intention or Horton's intention.

Certainly, I'm not sure there's a little bit more profit in the two-story, the bigger, you know.

And so I'm sure they want to do that, but we need to have that number, right?

Well, the number is that's that's easy, man.

There's 120 lots, so 50% 60 homes would be the cap.

I I think our development director would like and our city manager, I think you guys would rather just push this off for two weeks and do it that way.

I mean, if we can decide, sorry.

If we can decide here and now, like what the percentage is of if his numbers, correct?

That's what was.

I threw it out, but you know, now you've got a little total number again.

Total number of your twenty.

You know, maybe it's more like 40 percent, 38, you know, 35%.

So I'm sure you have client representative.

I don't know if you have to talk to them or go forward.

I don't know if that's possible.

Would 40% work for you?

I can support client, 40% works for you.

But like you said, you touched client.

You were important.

Yeah, understandably.

Um I believe that the answer is yes.

Uh I'm not specifically in a sales and marketing rule for Deer Horton, so I don't have the ability to know that definitively.

I guess I would say, in the interest of time, if the council is agreeable, let's go with a 40% threshold in the event that we find that there's a greater market interest.

Councilman Hugo, you and I can re-engage and talk about that.

And if the council amendment will we could talk about it further and then at that point, hopefully that's not necessary.

Again, the intention was never to construct a multitude of one-story homes.

The intention was always to focus on two stories.

And I'm presuming their goal is probably not to be weak 40%.

I'm sure they would really have as many two stories as they can, the larger homes.

I get that.

But we need to have something right.

So I'm I'm fine with 40%.

It's a good number, and it's there, they may not even meet that.

Okay.

And it will, I think, satisfy everybody as not to make it look like it turned into a bait switch.

Do you understand what I'm saying?

I understand.

Yeah.

So if Todd, if you're good with that, but if you insist that we need to table it, you know, to postpone it for two weeks, I can make that motion, or we can do it with the amendment I apply for it.

My concern is that I don't think we want to bring this back.

So if there's a possibility that you have to talk to a client to bring it back, we might as well just postpone it two weeks.

I guess I would say that I think that might be low.

Okay.

And so I mean 40% would be 48 homes.

You would like to amend the approval or if it's one of the ordinance now to say this much we can do that.

So we would just need to amend the ordinance, then introduce the substitute ordinance that you're asking for.

Yeah, so it's up to the council, but I think what Todd was saying is he's just more comfortable having some time to do it.

But um, we would just need you to like you know, we'd have to come up with the amended language right now.

Oh, that's you want to make it.

You know, it looks like it it two weeks isn't a big problem, is it?

So again, I'm not in sales and marketing, so I can't tell you that it is a big problem, but I do know that the division is eager to begin offering the products as I think I relate to you.

Right.

The last I um communicated specifically for Career Laney, he told me he had a list of approximately 15 to 20 people who had specifically expressed an interest in single-story living.

Whether those people ultimately materialize to buyers is anyone's guess.

But um, my point is that there is interest out there.

And so um the division was antisipating the the approved seating.

So I believe what you're doing is making a motion to approve with the amendment of a cap of 40 percent on the case.

On the two models that were correct.

That's all I'm doing.

Right.

Nothing else is changing as we talked yesterday.

Lot sizes aren't changing, nothing's changing except for introducing these two models, and the only thing I'm doing now is saying let's put a camp item, right?

I understand that you're hoping that you less than that.

The company hopes they less than a but I think everybody's more comfortable saying you can't.

I'd be comfortable with that motion if that's what you're making.

I my motion would be to approve the amendment with the change, or should I call it an amendment to the amendment, stating that these two models that were approving on this amendment, and I'm gonna have a motion to approve, that they cannot exceed 40% of the total housing stock of that model.

Correct.

Just one clarification.

What you're saying is that the total number of single story homes could not exceed 40% or a total of 48 units, irrespective of whether it's the Chatham, which is the one one of the single-story homes, or the Anderson, which is the other.

Right.

Okay.

So it's so just a 40% cap on single story homes, period.

Are you good with that?

Yes.

Did I say the motion correctly, Todd?

I think you did.

I think we have a motion.

Is there a second?

Second.

Thank you.

Thank you, everybody, for your patience.

Any other comments or questions?

Larry, can you tell me again who the subdivision this is?

Yeah, well, we start in front of you.

Thank you.

Um John Ferrari tonight.

Yeah, the in the patch.

Okay.

John Ferrari had line, the Darcy housing subdivision.

Okay.

I talked to Terry long before he got involved in the politics about this with his attorney, which at the time was my handsome.

Terry, the the the long one is short as this for Terry had to move off of Jefferson with his Hyundai.

That's what franchise you know, franchisees are up against the companies that they franchise from, get to tell them, hey, no, you can't be here anymore.

You need a bigger footprint, you need further west.

That's what Terry was told.

If you don't move, you lose your franchise.

He went there and strode drive up.

Yeah.

Um he was a farmer with no kids and wife had passed.

He had some nieces and nephews.

And he passed.

And they became available.

Well, the nieces and nephews were only selling the entire part.

He only made it 20 acres?

10.

10, 10 acres of the total.

So he tried to negotiate room and eventually he bought it.

And then his intention at the time I knew that was to turn around and sell somebody to develop it for whatever the city council would like.

And he also.

He does not own any interest in this development.

No stock in Horton.

I wouldn't be voting on it if I need it.

He wouldn't be voting on it if he only did it.

It is not a Garcy development.

It is a Horton development.

And they're, I think, the largest or second largest residential developer in the nation.

So and you can confirm that, right?

As the attorney, Mr.

Mr.

Darcy is not part of this development as far as correct.

Okay.

So here's the council recall was the applicants.

And he had the award to sign the contract to a third-party developer by the name of Ross Lane LC.

Ross lane purchase the property, developed the property, and dear ordinance purchasing finished lots back.

So as we speak, here Gordon owns something in the order of 30 lots.

There's a scheduled lot takedown where we buy lots and scheduled frequency.

So that doesn't mean we will own, build homes on it, and sell all the lots.

Thank you.

And to be clear, once again, our mayor does not have a financial interest whatsoever in this.

He sold the land only because he got stuck with the entire amount of land before we can move out there, correct?

Tell my wife, I said, I'm not really not involved in this.

She wanted a new house.

Okay.

So I'll have it.

All right.

Councilwoman Clumin.

Aye.

Councilwoman Ridden.

Aye.

Councilman McCartanist.

It is recommended that ordinance be adopted.

So move.

Second.

Any comments or questions?

Thank you.

Mayor, I'm going to ask you my question.

I knew I was.

I'm starting with calls, which means I want to stay here to the city.

I want to make sure I came from my yeah, I think I'm getting better.

I think you feel a couple of ordinances in there.

I hope you feel better.

I will.

I think I'll cover the editorial.

Thank you, folks.

Thank you.

Sorry.

Okay.

It's been motion and second and to approve.

Councilwoman Rudon.

Councilwoman Quoman.

Mayor Darcy.

Motion carried.

Council Memo number 109-26 ordinance approving a special use permit to allow a truck maintenance facility located at 3501 Shanahan Road, ZBA 2026-02.

It is recommended that ordinance be adopted.

Thank you.

So Mayor, I do.

I'm sorry.

We all received that email today from Situant that was asking different questions about we weren't sure if they were on well water or a septic tank.

And this was dropped before even back in 2001.

It was part of Shanahan property.

And they had denied all this back then.

And we annexed it and got the property and just sat there the minute.

We did light industrial.

I just have concerns about the EPA here and nothing against the business.

It's just I was swearing if we could get those things answered before we voted on it.

Or the environment, that's all.

You don't agree with me because we all got that same letter today.

But yes, I've been working on this for two weeks because I watched the zombie board, and then I um was getting lots besides what happened today.

This morning I would say it's in the paper.

I I was surprised to see it in the patch this morning because I've been talking to other people who've been commenting.

So you know me, I like to represent the residents.

Um I'm Gary Dilman, the general contractor on the property.

The uh water services will be provided by Joliet some more.

The corner service the property.

The other concern would be it was a runoff.

There will be no runoff in the property on any other property all run all into storm sewer.

It'll be designed underground, stored at a reduced rate.

So it doesn't impact the storm sewer for the city of Juliet.

That's the way the designs have been the last couple that I've done in Juliet.

More of them uh McDonald's, which basically seemed kind of facility.

Everything was stored in around maintained green off.

There's triple drain systems put in now that we're never installed in that property when it was in the beginning, but it was a restaurant at the end, and they didn't even have a decent resort.

Now we triple drain everything so that there's no run-off or any glutes, and that's maintained on property, and don't tell by the owner that it is possible.

Any of that drainage do you get into the creek that's over there?

No.

That creek would want to be close.

The building will stop at the back of the line for where the property ends, and there's a he's been all the way around the property.

The creek is actually further away than sure.

There's a pond back there.

It was built by the owner.

Where they used to drain off their own water from property.

Once we abandon that property, that drain will never be used, or that pond will never be used again, it'll just arrive.

Thank you.

Any other questions?

Thank you.

Okay, it's been a motion second to approve.

Next is the city manager's report.

On behalf of the City of Joliet, I would like to congratulate Joliet Police Department Officer Christy Petro, who was honored as police officer of the year today by the Joliet Exchange Club at their annual luncheon.

We thank her for her service and thank the Joliet Exchange Club for recognizing Officer Petro.

Very proud of her.

Okay.

Next we have public comments.

We do have a few people signed up.

We will start with Cynthia Schutz, if you want to go ahead and go up your podium.

Hello, I'm Cynthia Schutz.

I have lived in Joliet all my life, and in fact, we go through Joliet for six generations of shutzes.

I just want to talk about, I know that in the future they're ready to testing the data center at some point.

I just wanted to come up against the data center because it really will not help Joliet.

I love Joliet with all my heart.

This is my home.

This is the most wonderful place to live.

I'm such a fan of our city to Joliet, but I worry about a data center because I worry about the noise pollution.

I worry about the water, especially now that we're going to get the Michigan water.

We don't want to really ruin what we're doing.

We've made so much progress recently in Joliet, and we don't want that to go to waste.

I just want to make sure that we realize that it may have a few jobs, but it's not worth ruining our city over something that only brings a few jobs.

That's all I really have to say.

Thank you.

Andrea Baumart.

Hello, good evening.

Alright, um, a few things I wanted to talk about this evening.

First, I wanted to thank you all for clarifying that your lead city planner was transparent with the council up front about personal zoning reflex.

Um I think it's very important.

Um, and the public appreciates transparency in government, right?

The broader question that that then leaves us with then is who is potentially planning the data center?

Like who is the lead on that?

Because we are all still getting social media ads, asking us to sign a petition to support it, and we don't even know who's leading it.

In my opinion, that's not good public policy.

Okay, and we also still don't have answers about water source or the power usage, all of which is going to affect all of the surrounding community members.

I did attend the land use meeting for the um Joliet Strategic Planning Committee last week, and um I did get this map.

I think you guys have all seen this map.

If you haven't attended, okay.

And um, I just wanted to point out that that parcel right there where the proposed data center is supposed to go, even though it doesn't say that.

We know that that parcel is really important to you because there's this big blue bubble here pointing to it with text.

So when I look at that, I'm a visual learner.

I know that debt parcel is important to you as a piece of thinking property, and that you want to develop it.

I can see that.

Okay.

Um so I spent some considerable time looking at your plan and reading it, and it was quite expensive, and um I think it did a really good job of polling and serving all your residents.

And what I saw over and over a year were that the people who are polled put a strong emphasis on health care services, that they wanted more access to healthcare services, and that they had very strong environmental concerns.

Okay.

So moving on from that.

That was listed on multiple pages.

Um they wanted health care access, they wanted jobs for that.

Um, there were a need for services.

Um vocabulary that was listed was uh environmental stewardship, conservation, preservation, parts, sustainability, all these things were listed over and over and over, including the fact that Julie acknowledged that you would have brown fields left over from old industrial areas that have yet to be cleaned up and mitigated on an environmental level.

Those things haven't been addressed yet.

So maybe those should be given attention first before we bring in other types of industrial developments.

Um, some of the goals that were listed on your plan.

Improve agitable access to parks, support waterways, strengthen the connection between public health, green infrastructure, open space, ensure long-term water security.

That's amazing.

We want water security too.

So here's here's the idea I came up with, knowing that you really want to develop that area.

Okay.

How about you consider making it a health center?

Okay, it's clear that your community members are looking for services for their sick to look for healing, possibly a new critical care center.

Okay, gardens, healing gardens.

What can we do to support the community and honor your plan and the things that the community is actually looking for?

Thank you.

Doris Jones.

Good evening.

My name is Doris Jones, and I'm here for Justice for Raven.

Today we stand not in remembrance but in truth.

We are here for Raven, a daughter, a friend, a soul whom I that was taken.

July 12th, 2021 is the date that changed everything.

And let me be clear.

This was not an overdose.

This was not an accident.

This was not something to be brushed aside or forgotten.

This was a murder.

And we are tired of silence.

We are tired of assumptions.

We are tired of narrative that erased the truth and disrespect the life.

Raven lived.

Raven deserved protection.

Raven deserved justice.

Raven deserved to come home.

And stated her voice was taken.

But not ours was not.

We speak today because justice delayed is justice denied.

We speak because unanswered questions are still unanswered.

We speak because someone knows what happened, and the truth does not disappear just because time has passed.

We would not allow Raven's name to be reduced to a report.

We would not allow her story to be rewritten.

We would not stop demanding accountability.

To those listening, law enforcement, officials, investigators, do your job.

We open that, we open what needs to be reopened.

Reexamine what was ignored.

Listen to the family, follow the truth, no matter where it leads.

And to Raven, your life mattered.

Your story matters, and your name will not be forgotten.

Justice for Raven is not option, was not optional.

Justice for Raven is necessary.

Justice for Raven is overdue.

We will keep standing.

We would keep speaking.

We would keep pushing.

Because this was not an overdose.

This was a murder.

And we will not rest until justice is served.

Justice for Raven always.

Thank you.

Robin Anderson.

Yes.

Hi.

I had some road, but unfortunately, it uh got misplaced.

But I do know what I want, and I I am going to say this.

We talk about I am the mother of Raven, Little John.

So we're gonna make that clear because for some reason nobody could understand that the last time.

That is my daughter, that's my child.

And um and this guy, she was found just an apartment.

And uh Will County Housing Authority guilty.

Deputy Chief Madlock was living very close to the vicinity where they found my daughter in.

These people called 911.

They left the scene of a crime, first felony.

They tamper with evidence.

They took all of her clothing, her shoes are solid, search, her panties.

Felony number two.

And then Jasmine Morrow, she was uh do not ever enter the housing authority property, but it was allowed.

But that's neither here nor there.

I came here today and I went to the police department, and I'm looking at all this great things you're supposed to be doing, building this, building that, and y'all want to attract company.

I mean, out of state people to the residents, it's not a park nowhere out there.

I had to drive a while for 45 minutes to find a parking spot.

It's ridiculous.

But you want me to come here.

You want me to park somewhere, give me a ticket, but you won't take care to think of getting justice for my daughter.

But y'all show making up ways how to ticket the residence, it's constituents that vote for you.

There's nowhere to park to go to that courthouse to go to the police station to go nowhere up in here.

And y'all ain't did nothing about that.

And that is totally ridiculous.

So you want us to come out, but I was going right here.

But you want people to come from out of town and spend their money here.

And we ain't got no place to park.

That is totally ridiculous.

And I want justice for my daughter.

All those felonies that was committed, that that man made Deputy Chief Matt, Deputy Chief Madlock, steadily continue to live.

Oh no, I forgot he moved out because I made too much noise.

In the senior citizen home, you give me a break.

It don't make no sense.

Anthony Dunn, bound in the river.

Money stolen.

Bank, banks, messing, people been messing with the FDIC.

You call everybody a non-criminal.

Oh, Joliet only had two murders.

Two murders in a year.

You're lying.

The coroner is incompetent.

All the drug-induced homicides that went through this town since 2020.

All the murders that happened that they pulled out of that river, pastor Reverend Beard.

He wasn't all committed suicide.

He wasn't doing nothing wrong with trying to help people.

They found him in the river, but you won't do anything.

I am sick of y'all.

Y'all, it's like coming to a circus when I come up into the city council.

A whole bunch of clowns, and ain't nothing happening.

And like I'm saying, you always trying to get somebody money, make big development projects.

Let's bring money to town.

Well, get us a place to park instead of making us tickets.

Get my daughter justice.

Do what you need to do.

Stop all this whatever going on.

We know we're going to spatial.

Larry Hood come up in here with a cough, spraying all kind of germs.

Then he decided to leave.

He never once covered his mouth when he coughed.

That's what it is up in here.

Irresponsibility.

Justice, break the silence, Jesse for Anthony Dunn, and especially Raven Charity Little John, Terrence Pierce, and Quincy Bailey, and all those bodies that was found.

Murdered and thrown in the displays river.

Not a suicide.

None of that.

Do something.

Stop looking like clowns.

And you're going to thank you, Mary.

Rick Norman.

Sick of these people.

Pedophiles and creeps are using generative AI to undress children and women.

Approving of this data center is approving of the production of child AI generative AA generator of trial pornography.

This isn't put this council in the same vote as pedophiles.

If it was known y'all were pedophiles, none of you would have been voted into your office.

Pass a resolution banning data centers from Joliet.

Don't be pedophiles.

Good evening.

I'm also coming here as a member of the West Suburban Illinois Democratic Socialists of America.

So I'm here to speak to you all today about the financial implications of what brings such a structure to this city.

But not just to the city, what it would do for our nation.

A majority of these data centers are being used for AI storage.

I know that you've heard about the AI bubble and were told by the petitioners that you shouldn't worry.

I'm here to tell you that you should worry due to the fact that the largest AI company in the nation, OpenAI, has been hemorrhaging billions of dollars for the last few years and will be predicted to lose even more.

As of October 31st of last year, OpenAI reported a loss of $5 billion in 2024.

As of October 31st of last year, OpenAI reported a loss of $5 billion in 2024, 11.5 billion dollars last year in 2025, and is predicted to lose up to 14 billion dollars this year.

If you believe that this is what's best for this city of Juliet, then I implore you to do your own research in regards to what data centers will bring to the future the future of our nation.

And I say to the people in this room, do you all believe that the money the city of Joliet is being proposed to make after hearing how much money is set to be lost from the largest AI data center or the largest AI company in the nation has already lost?

Do you think that's worth worth more than your lives?

Thank you.

Hello folks.

My name is Abraham Garcia.

I owe BF tire on Collins, and I'm here to talk about a completely different subject.

For those of you who know me, I've been selling tires all my life.

And uh semi-tires I've been doing it for the greater parker for 12 years.

And I'm pretty pretty good.

Pretty resourceful.

And um, I know some of you guys know me because I'm always calling all around town.

Um but this is now concerning me.

And um, with respect to the council members that know me that I know you, um, I think I reached out to every one of you, um, whether here in this building or somewhere else that to have a private conversation because I'm not the one to bring noise out, but I think this has to be brought out.

Um and soon and I was challenged by a couple of you.

I will soon be a resident of Juliet.

We're actually currently doing some permit processes now, so I will be moving to Julia very soon.

Um but at the same time I'm also here.

I'm a taxpayer.

Uh we don't sell more property now in Julia since I moved here.

Uh where we started our business.

But for the past 14 consecutive years, I used to work for Goodyear and I used to work for Continental, for those of you who don't know before I opened up my own business.

And for those 14 consecutive years, I can tell you that POMS has owned all tire business of Juliet.

You know, so when I worked for Goodyear, I said, well, geez, that guy's good.

Three consecutives year to call him, never got invited to bid.

Then I go over continental.

Same thing.

Then I opened my own business, and I'm one of those I earn my position.

So I you know, I don't come in looking for handouts.

I'm on a word for that, I'll learn.

Can't do it.

Alright, maybe A, maybe you gotta put your time in.

Put my time in.

Still can't get invited to bid.

Then I do some more deeper research and get my hands on the invoice.

So if I know what city's pay.

So then I quote beneath it.

I still can't get to business.

Then I find out where this guy needs to enter.

Still can't get in business.

I've done every way diplomatically, however, you guys can put it.

Then I go do some more research.

And I'm being told maybe you guys can correct the record now.

Any budget that gets spent 20k or more must be approved by this board.

I mean, I don't know.

Last time I checked, the city of Juliet owns a lot of equipment.

And I guarantee you there's more than $20,000 of tires going on in the city of Juliet.

I don't know, maybe someone should look into it.

I've asked nicely for three years now.

Yes, I think the message you get across to Mr.

Jeff Price to allow people to bid local guys.

And he did reach out to you.

Did you have a meeting?

And the meeting went as so.

Hey, look, we're going to give you an opportunity to test your tires.

Uh but we want to run a government program.

Okay.

What's the government program?

It's just a price.

It's a piece of paper with a price on there.

Um, so I'm coming here because I want it to be publicly known that that business has been locked.

And I think it's unfair.

It's unfair to business owners like myself.

Um, and I'm not here to say what I do for the community.

Because that's me, that's that's for my heart.

But when's the last time you guys ever see Pomps give a shit about this city?

And I'm not saying, hey, give a give it all to be a tire, I'm not saying that.

But put me on a level plane field any guy I take.

And the truth of the matter is they don't want to let it out to bid.

And I'm almost out of time, but I have to give this last statement because this is the most concerning of it all.

Selling tires, semi truck tires, commercial truck tires for commercial truck fleets.

You typically use a certain size to streamline things.

And I think of this law, and excuse me for saying, I think we're going to all know.

I think Moreno drives a dump truck.

And I think the company that he works at, they all use the same size tire for all their dump trucks because, well, you know, I don't have to break it down.

It's common sense.

But I want you guys to know that your fleet manager, the director, has moved your entire fleet to an obsolete tire.

And an obsolete tire that many factories cannot manufacture no more because no one uses it, and then it's ungodly expensive.

But he met his match because I produce tires overseas.

And I produce that size tire.

And even then we cannot get the business.

So then I ask.

I mean, there we can't get invited to bid on the tires.

It's ridiculous.

I went many times, had many meetings.

Called on him many times.

This is this is nothing new.

I think each and one of you I reached out to you personally, ask for some help.

Hey, look, I'm not saying the business comes to do that.

I should be able, as a taxpayer, to bid for the business, especially if it's over 20K.

That's nicely now for over three years.

BF tires and then Juliet for over six.

And we're well involved with the local community.

And I don't think there's not one council member on this board that have asked us to be involved in community.

We've ever said no.

Hey, Brian, we'll address it.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thanks.

Is there anyone else who'd like to address the council this evening?

Okay.

Seeing none, we will move on to Mayor Council comments.

I don't have any comments.

Just like to say that it was a very, very cold night, but I gotta give credit to the nurses and some retired nurses that attended the Alex Freddy vigil last week.

And it was really cold.

I was there also.

And it's very, very sad what's happening out there.

Many nurses present and retired also attended that.

We were all bundled up and you couldn't see half of us unless you knew from the eyes.

But it was quite the scene, and it was all over the country, and I was glad that we were able to have a part part of that.

And I think there were about a hundred people there.

And happy no, I'd like to say happy birthday to our kids for Friday.

Following up on Beth's statement, uh, I also was at the luncheon this afternoon.

Christy Petro, who was honored as the officer of the year, and the area she deals in for the most part.

Which has to be very difficult.

Okay, mom, wait dad up, because it's my dad's birthday, and I want to start by saying how much I love you, whether it's your words of wisdom, your kindness, your strength, your amazing sense of humor, or the countless sacrifices you made for our family, every moment with you, Dad is a gift.

I also want to say my dad is always very interested.

We call him Weatherman Bob.

He's very interested when storms come up and informing the whole city of Joliet via my Facebook what they can expect, what they should look out for, and how they should prepare.

So I want to say, happy birthday, Dad.

And then this isn't a back and forth.

This is my time, but I want to tell the resident in the audience that called us all pedophiles.

That is the most disgusting thing I've heard in the three years I've been up here, no matter what side you're on, nobody up here is a pedophile, and that's disgusting language to use to the people that hold public trust.

Thank you.

Beth, I just want to follow up on maybe a month ago.

I was hoping to get somebody from my dad here just to talk about, give us some updates, uh, not only the council but the public about what's happening on Interstate 80, maybe some timelines, the progress, you know, maybe maybe some public the public will come out and ask some questions, but just looking for like uh a follow-up on what's happening there.

Okay, yeah, we can do that.

And then we all know we we end up receiving the calls last week.

The bridges were out, it was a nightmare.

Um Bath and I spoke or text or um, you know, when when the bridges go out, it's it's really hectic.

And um, on top of that, throwing you know, salt in the wound, interstate 80 was shut down, yeah, so everybody was getting off there driving through our city.

Interstate 80 was shut down, so everybody was getting off there driving through our city.

But you know, if we can just keep working with uh our executor uh the county and the state, what happens is it's hard for the police department when this happens to throw ten guys there right now to do traffic.

We we can't predict when when this is gonna happen, and again, the bridges are not ours, but when they when they're they're not operable, we have to act and send our officers there, and it's just it's very tough.

So hoping we can come up with a plan, and maybe in the near future we can make Jefferson Street and and Castle whenever it's all two ways and come up with a plan.

I'm hearing there's a there's a study out there now uh about the bridges, and and hopefully we can come to some resolution.

So those are my comments, Mary.

Thank you.

Um I just want to thank the Boys and Girls Club again for bringing out the reimagined development program.

I hope you guys got to see and found it exciting.

Uh but just thank you guys for coming out and staying awake there nowadays, and uh that's my kind of thing.

Thank you.

I do want to uh congratulate Chris C.

Petro.

I've known her since she was a little girl.

I was good friends with her dad and her mom, and uh she's doing a just uh a great job uh in a difficult part of policing.

So congratulations to her on another topic in uh the police world.

HBO was announced on Friday that a new police drama TV series called American Blue will be set here in Joliet.

With some filming planned around the city this April, and we're hoping this show will do for our police force what the show The Pit has done for emergency room workers.

It's exciting for Joliet.

Vito Ventamiglia is gonna play the lead, and right now they're talking about George Clooney or Brad Pitt to play the mayor because I don't care.

Just kidding.

Um Beth and I and Pat, I think Joe Caesar were we're at the um whole time banquet, which is another great event here in Joliet to help the uh youth from 6 to 17 in the baseball world, and we really appreciate all that the uh service clubs do here in Juliet, that one in particular.

And as Pastor Pastor Tyler said, our prayers go out to John Sherry.

He's struggling with his health.

He's been a stallworth in this community for a long time, and John will pray for you.

Thank you, and God bless you all.

Okay, is there a motion to adjourn?

Solomon, I guess.

All in favor?

Aye.

Aye.

Meeting adjourned.
