Next is citizens to be heard on agenda items.

I have one person signed up.

Um, John Argadelis.

Want to start.

Good evening, John Argadellas.

I'm uh here on the uh Whimsey trucking matter, and this is uh proceeded through the process uh and has been uh supported uh at the PCC and planning commission and staff.

Um we worked with staff quite a bit on this, and it it's it's uh adjacent to an existing project that Whimsey owns already out.

Um there was just one issue that came up.

I just wanted to make you aware of it, so for your consideration as we go through tonight and tomorrow night, and that was the issue of stacking of containers.

Um we had requested uh be able to stack three high uh staff did not support that, and it was not supported at any level prior to the board of the council here.

Um I just wanted to give a little rationale on why we're requesting this, and we are still requesting it for the council.

The property, if you pay attention, or you will pay attention when you see it, it uh there's a back third of the property that's cut off by a gas pipeline.

Um we tried to get permission from the pipeline to put a asphalt over that so we could use that back portion of the property.

Uh they were not willing to work with us in that regard, so we cannot access that back triangle.

And you'll note this in your, I'm sure you have already.

Um the other issue was staff had asked for a uh pretty significant setback on the roadside, which we agreed to.

So what that does is with the setback and the loss of that back third, it sort of leaves us with a lot less land to use.

And we feel based on the volume we're gonna have that we'll have short-term stacking.

This will not be long-term stacking, it's just a day or two stacked, and then move things move in and out.

Um, and there is a history that uh the city, the council has approved stacking three and five high in some other cases.

Um there's a case on uh 3751 Cedar Creek Drive.

This is from 2016.

Uh there's more some more recent cases.

Uh there was a 22 case for um trying to get an address for you here.

But in 2022, in November, you approved uh stacking.

I believe this was a center point one uh 3350 Shanahan Road uh project.

So it's not unprecedented what we're asking for.

Joliet's done it before, and we'd ask you to consider this tonight and tomorrow as we go through the process.

So I'll stay for questions, of course, later.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Okay, is there anyone else who would like to speak under citizens to be heard on agenda items?

You all know me, I'm Kathleen Darkness.

I used to live on this property at 23656 Hobo Road.

This was my mother's property where I lived most of my life since I was AH.

Age of eight.

I always got taken out of this property because of Whimsy's I say you ax.

You know, they I wasn't allowed to be part of any negotiations on the price.

I wasn't even allowed to know who the buyer of this property of my mom's property was because they wanted to keep that all big secret.

Even though I have talked to Whimsy tried to find out who was trying to buy my Ma's place, I talked to Whimsy people, and I was told that they had no uh no uh no interest in buying my ma's property.

It's what I was told by various whimsy workers, but of course they did end up buying it, which was like I said, hell a big secret.

I wasn't even part of getting no negotiation, we can get you to see the sale contract thing till after it was sold.

I don't know who the buyer was till after it was sold and everything, and the attorney that they represented on Mr.

Mazar dat that they had used on the eviction of me to where I wasn't in the served notice.

And so I didn't know about the eviction at all, since they didn't serve me right or anything.

They figured they just put it in the Harold newspaper, which they knew I didn't get the Harrow newspaper either.

So I had no idea about the eviction.

And they end up getting the getting their uh default of uh judgment on me because of course I didn't know about it, I didn't get to show up for it to defend myself.

But that Mr.

Mazar Hidday that represented Whimsey trucking on it, he knew at that time at the eviction that he had the money from the estate.

I didn't get my share of my Mazda state money in my hands till.

So I'm still waiting.

And everything about getting that settled and everything.

And with all that time with him keeping the money and keeping me from giving my money and keeping me from getting another place.

They of course stole everything on the estate.

I had my $20,000 mower that I got from my boss like two months before he died, which I was using to take care of the place, which I think Whimsy is using now to mow their lot down there next door to the trucking terminal thing.

I took my ATV, all my other vehicles, my Jeep, me and my Ma share, my ma's other truck, and they took this 1987 F-250 pickup truck, which they hid from me, and lied to the attorneys, my attorney said that truck was crushed, and it was until I had the Carfax report done that they found out that somebody had that truck.

A guy named John Byrne had this truck to which somehow Whimsy gave this guy, you know.

John Burns got this truck from Whimsy trucking.

And he tore that truck needless to say up.

It was a mid-conditioned truck.

When I had that S whimsy trucking people after I found out it was them that bought it, they're threatening me about getting out.

They even came, you know, when they tried to do their own eviction on me at January 16th of 2024 when we had the sub-zero weather when they smashed the back door of the house in the back door, and they threatened me.

They said, You gotta get out because we're in bulldozers house tomorrow.

Well, the push sheriff will call out, and the sheriff found out they didn't have no permit to do it, and they didn't even have the right to try to do their own eviction on me.

Without using the World County civil processor.

But I want to have price from charges filed, of course.

I couldn't, you know, they wouldn't do the files, you know, file the charges for me or do a police report for me.

But I had to go back in the house with the back door wide open, and that's some zero temperatures coming in the house, and of course, the pipes burst, and the more got down the furnace.

But it's kind of ironic.

They they wouldn't do storage for me, but I have my 40 foot storage container there.

It was loaded, and they busted in it and took everything out of it.

So I asked you to deny.

Is there anyone else who'd like to speak under citizens to be heard on agenda items this evening?

Okay, seeing none.

Next, we will have the city manager review tomorrow night's actionable items.

Good evening, everybody.

Tomorrow we will have a reappointment to the zoning board of appeals.

Liquor Commissioner is recognition is recommending the denial of this license.

Any questions or comments this evening?

Yeah.

Oh sorry.

Oh, sorry.

Thank you.

Thank you, Mayor.

I'm wondering why they applied for a license, and our employees that work here let them apply a license for a license they don't even qualify for.

For which one, I'm sorry, ma'am.

The last one.

They recommended denial.

We're recommending denying.

It's not that they don't qualify for it.

They applied for it, but we're just remaining the denial.

Okay.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Well, can you what's a D exactly?

But what Class D.

A Class D.

It's just beer and wine only, so not a sell hard liquor.

That's premises only.

Premise only as well, correct.

Thank you.

Yep.

Uh item number 316.

You said uh I know right now they were closed and I had actually a few quests.

Someone had reached out to me about it.

So they changed the orders ownership.

Correct.

So that's why the changed ownership and had to reapply, so it's new owners, so that's the our normal process is a transfer, and then it would change it so it's new ownership and then we have new LLC and then new uh information from the state as well, so they'd have to reapply.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Okay, moving on to Council Memo 31926, public hearing for a resolution approving an annexation agreement for 23656 South Hobolt Road.

Um this is Whimsy Trucking.

Then under ordinances and resolutions, ordinance, council memo 321-26 ordinance is associated with 23656 South Hobold Road for an annexation and uh zoning classification to light industrial, which is I one.

Council Memo 3226 ordinances associated with two three six five six South Hobold Road.

Um, approving a special use permit to allow truck parking.

Um, and at compressed natural gas fueling is an accessory component and ordinance approving a variation of use to allow above ground fuel takes for compressed natural gas fueling in the light industrial district.

Council Memo 32326, ordinances associated with 23656 South Hobold Road, an ordinance approving a special use permit to allow container storage and stacking and ordinance approving a variation of use to allow container storage and stacking up to three high in the I-1 light industrial district.

This was um voted down by the zoning board of appeals, five to zero.

And I should note that light industrial I-1 zoning for us doesn't allow stacking.

We're also passing a special use for them to be able to have stacked one high, but we do have residences near there that the staff in zoning board of appeals took into account when thinking about whether or not it could be stacked any higher than one.

Yeah.

Did anybody come in opposition?

Any residents at the hearing?

I was not there, Dustin.

Did anyone come in opposition?

I would be happy.

I would be I would be happy to share with you the minutes after the meeting uh to give you a most accurate uh remonstrances for and against if that's okay with you, sir.

So it sounds like people showed up.

I got a question.

Um I'd like to hear it.

Oh, sorry.

No question.

Uh hey John.

So when you say three stacked, is it gonna be the the one the ground level one and two on top?

Yeah, or you're gonna just are you gonna have that's a request.

So the ground level and two on top.

I uh and regarding the other question, I I obviously was present at both meetings, and uh the uh person who spoke tonight was present at the other two meetings, but there were no other residents present if they received emails or things, if that's I don't know that, but president the meeting was just the other the woman that was here this evening, so that we didn't have residency.

Yeah, at first I was uh a little cautious about it.

I was like, eh.

Because I know there is a residence around there.

Um I took a drive down there today, and there's you have conglobal down the street from there, G4.

Everybody's stacked up to five high.

So I think having three stacked may not be huh.

Oh, sorry.

Councilwoman was just asking me quite a bit.

Yeah, yeah.

So there's there's a few locations that are stacked up to five high.

I've counted them, and I I don't see this one being three high being a huge problem.

So make on the city.

Fine, I asked the city manager a question.

Yeah.

Um the other stack five high, are they approved to stack five high?

So there as um Mr.

Argadell's said in the beginning, there are other locations where exceptions have been made for this.

There in areas that are largely industrial with no residential surrounding.

Um, but it has happened before.

There it has.

To be fair, one that he cited in particular, center point is completely contained within center point.

So nobody really sees that.

Right.

We don't want this to look like Detroit, Michigan, in my opinion.

And the compressed gas, thank you so much, Highway.

The compressed gas sounds so dangerous to me.

From what I understand, that's a pretty um routine function.

I don't know if you want to answer Dustin wants to answer, but uh maybe give the councilwoman a little more um information on that.

Yeah, it just it's that's kind of something new to me, as I was in you know, we're representing the client here.

And it is it's like a small cart that has the tanks on it so they can fuel uh the vehicles.

It's in you know, many times you have that like set tanks that are on a site that like a gas tank, but that's uh that's the compressed gas product, and it's you know it's regulated by the EPA, they have to follow all the safety rules just like uh any other fuel use.

But this one it would be a uh movable cart, but it is shown on a site plan as located on one certain portion of the property.

Okay, so they can't just go down the street to the gas and wash, it's the last thing I have.

It's uh it's not like gasoline, it's I don't know what they have to gas and wash, but natural gas?

Yeah.

So it's uh it's like a like a propane tank on your grill, if you will.

A little more sophisticated than that, but it's compressed gas, it's not gasoline or anything like that.

Okay, thank you.

So one more thing.

Oh, sorry.

Yeah, uh do you know how big is that warehouse that they just built right in front of that property?

I completely forgot about it, so right now.

It's either six hundred uh square feet or a million.

I don't know.

Maybe uh staff can help you with that.

Staff does anybody know by any chance?

I I'm not sure we answer your question.

Uh to the south, east, or right in front of it.

Right in front of it in front of to the east.

I mean, I can look at that up right now and tell you.

I think the yeah.

Yeah.

Do you mind?

Oh, go ahead.

All right.

Um so the reason that the plan commission voted it down was it's only because of the stacking issue.

The zoning um board of appeals, the zoning board voted five to zero to not allow stacking.

Right.

But the rest of it they were good with.

But the rest of it they were good with.

Okay.

Um, and please correct me if I'm wrong here anywhere.

That's accurate.

Okay.

So the zoning board of appeals, there's there's there's layers to the onion, right?

They they uh they uh voted to approve the annexation.

They voted to approve the classification of zoning to the I-1.

They voted to approve the compressed national gas.

They voted to approve the special use for uh container storage.

They did not vote to approve the request for container storage up to three high.

And I understand we've made exceptions in the past, a few.

But uh Councilman Marino, you know, if he's seen them five high, you know, I think we need to go look and see if if they have a legitimate, I don't recall ever having we fought this a long time ago.

I do vaguely remember approving a couple of times way in the heart of Center Point the three high stacking.

That was the top that was supposed to be.

Right.

I don't believe we ever so if it's number if people are doing five high, there's a fair chance that they're outside of what their special use allowed.

And I did discuss this with staff earlier to make sure we could get someone to go out.

Did you get any answers?

We do uh have regulations that do allow five high in some locations.

We have gone out there and we did look, we did find some people not complying with zoning, and they will get notices of violation.

Thank you.

That's what I appreciate.

And you're uh councilwoman, you're you're good.

You understand it's natural gas.

I think you were confused or concerned that it was like gasoline gas being missed.

Okay.

All right, that's down ahead.

Yes, thank you.

I took it right out there Sunday, and um there are two large residential homes on either side of this project, one just contiguous to the north, and one down a little bit south and west of it.

And I think that might have been the reason the optics of that for the lack of stacking.

You know, I think there has to be some consideration for the people that have been out there long before Whimsy trucking.

So that's why I took it right out because I did see three high and five high, but in places that were completely surrounded by other industrial users.

So these have, and if we threw a Google map up there, you could see one of them is probably a 20-acre with a pond in the nice house, and the other one's tucked in the back.

I didn't drive back there, but I think, and I could talk to a few of the people on zoning and get their thoughts.

So I'm gonna take a look at the meeting, but that might have been the premise in which they decided one high was fair.

Mayor mayor.

I just had one question, and I think that I'm I'm correct in this.

Um we are voting separately on the stacking.

Okay, yes.

There's a yeah, I'm I mean, I'm a little torn on.

I I agree with uh councilman Marino.

You know, there are other locations that have stacking, but you bring up a good forward mayor, there's two residential homes that that are there.

But you know, that's what that's what this area is uh has become.

I mean, now we're gonna hit the brakes, but I do you bring up your great point.

You got uh Martio and the other family that live out there.

Um, you know, maybe I think they're for sale or one of them's for sale.

Yeah, maybe down the road uh we could revisit this again, but I think I think it is fair that you know, if others are doing it.

I hate to hate to say no to this gentleman at this company, but you do up bring up good points with with the two residentials there, so kind of torn right now on it.

So thank you.

Thank you.

Okay, moving on.

Council Memo 324 26 ordinance repealing a previously approved variation of use to allow the reduction of a five unit to a four unit residence and R4 multifamily use in an R3 one and two family residential zoning district.

So the petitioner um has stated in their application that they're planning to convert the existing but vacant four unit building into two larger buildings which will match the the neighborhood around it a little bit better.

Council Member 32526.

Sure.

Sorry, I have a question.

Yeah, no problem.

This is a little bit confusing to me because I write it over and over again, and I did read the minutes.

So they want to reduce the five unit, which was previously the four unit.

The four unit.

So you're appealing, because the way I read it, you're repealing the five unit to be got down to a four unit.

So you want to make the four units so they can make it a bigger place.

So what they'll be doing is apparently it's a five unit, and they were gonna reduce it to a four unit residence for the zoning purpose, but what their ultimate purpose is to turn it into two units.

Two units to make bigger the two bigger instead of five seconds.

And I was reading too much into this because it didn't make sense the way it was worded, and that's why I wanted to make sure they weren't gonna make it bigger again.

I wanted to make sure they were gonna make it down zoning.

Yeah, no, they stated that by having two units instead of four, they'll be able to make the individual units larger and the building would be more in character with the neighborhood.

Gotcha.

Thanks for clarification.

Sure, no problem.

Council Memo 325-26, ordinance amending the 2026 annual budget for the city of Joliet.

I believe everybody talked to Todd.

I don't know if anyone has any questions on that one.

Council Memo 326-26 ordinance authorizing the execution of an intergovernmental loan agreement with the Will County Exposition and Auditorium Authority, the Rialto Square Theater.

Any questions there?

Yeah, I I have a question there.

Yeah.

You know, they're a two and a half million dollar loan.

Um, why are they not going to or two million dollar loan?

Why aren't they going to an house out source outside source?

A bank or such.

Yeah.

So we did talk to them.

We actually tried to assist them to find outside financing.

Uh number of banks wanted uh a guarantor or additional collateral.

So the market didn't support them getting a loan.

So we're going to risk our money on that?

I wouldn't say we're risking our money.

What we're doing here is so they started all these capital improvement projects, and then they got caught up with the whole asbestos thing last summer that shut them down for a while.

So they did have the money to cover all of that, but for the asbestos, which now they're in the middle of a lawsuit with the asbestos company that they anticipate to soon resolve.

Um but this what I'm saying is they may not need it at some point, but for now it allows them to continue with their HVAC replacement that they're doing now.

It'll allow them to continue to do that so we don't lose any more time with them shut down.

They are like the economic driver of of downtown.

And um we're just essentially um giving them loans into the future that we get usually give them like $500,000 a year, 454 or something.

Um so that we'd just be advancing those grants that we usually give them year for year into the future.

And they'd be using some of the money that they've received before.

Okay, well Beth, when I was reading, I didn't catch that.

So if this is accurate, then this is new to me.

So they've got six years to pay it, is I uh the way I read it.

But as soon as they uh you're saying they're gonna pay they're gonna forego their 450,000 dollars a year.

Right.

Yeah.

So it's an advance on the grants, not the same.

Correct.

That's right.

But also more importantly, you know, they're seeking legal remedies for their asbestos remediation cost.

So to the extent they receive those, the grant the loan either has to be paid off or will reduce the outstanding balance if the loan hasn't been drawn on yet.

So first will come from you know any re proceeds they get from the remediation that they're able to recoup.

And then if we do if they do need the loan, then there'll be draws on it based on eligible construction cost.

The repayment is basically uh 475,000 balance forgiveness, recognizing that those are would come in the would replace the future capital grants that we would give to the Rialto.

And that's assuming over the next six years that a new council, even beyond us, doesn't vote to not fund them anymore.

Correct.

So again, we're back to we're we're giving a loan to an entity.

Okay, that the banks rejected as not a good risk.

Well, uh I don't know if it's a good risk.

The Rialto is a it's a unique unit of local government that does not have taxing authority.

And so because of that in the historic nature of the building that a bank is not gonna, you know, foreclose on the Royalto Square Theater.

Um that it just uh I don't want to speak for the banks, but they couldn't get it through the credit committee.

They were looking for someone to get whether it was us or the county to guarantee repayment.

Well, and then the credit committee for any bank, they have a full purpose, and that is to uh weigh the risk.

Credit risk, that's it.

And you're saying they couldn't get it through the credit committee.

Well, I'm saying I don't know exactly why, whether it was credit risk or just not familiar with the entity and how it operates.

All right, thank you, ma'am.

Um question I've got Kevin on the bottom of this, it says the rayal to is seeking reimbursement from the contractor.

I believe they're asking for two million is what they spent.

So whatever they get is paid back to us immediately.

Correct.

Okay.

So then the balance would be reimbursed to the city based on the grants that we've agreed to at 475 a year.

I'm sure they're gonna get something.

I don't think they're gonna eat two million dollars on this thing.

But I I agree, Larry, that a bank wouldn't lend the money, but I've been in banking and I understand that their scrutiny is a lot tighter, but this is a uh entity of the city of Joliet that we'd all hate to lose.

So what do we tell the patrons of the city of Joliet if we don't help them with this bridge to get across to get this HVAC done and in place?

Wasn't their fault.

They budgeted for this the right way, and they got thrown under the bus with this dog on asbestos mess that they had nothing to do with the.

And the realtor will be here tomorrow as well.

But you know, some additional context related to this.

You know, their HVAC was basically hanging on by a thread and at risk of failure at any point heading into the summer.

They had scheduled this and lost a lot of shows due to the asbestos, and so when this window came up, they needed to maintain the window or risk actually closure because they didn't have air conditioning.

And so because of that, they wanted to keep on schedule.

There is they are a major driver, and when they were closed last time, we felt it downtown.

And so that's where where the request came in that you know they wanted to keep the project on schedule so that they didn't risk losing shows because they couldn't keep the building temperature controlled.

So this is an interest paying loan, correct?

Correct.

Okay.

They're coming in tomorrow to talk a little bit about.

So they'll be available tomorrow at finance committee in that council.

Okay.

Okay.

Um, under resolutions, council memo 328-26, a resolution approving a new grant and previous grant extension to the Will County Metropolitan Exposition and Auditorium Authority, Realto Square Theater.

So I was I was talking about before that um the grants that they received in 2024 and 2025 are going towards the HVAC now.

There's quote shutdown from now until September.

Um, and then uh approval of this resolution would extend the 2024 capital grant with an expiration date of December 31st of the end of this year, which they'll have the work done by then.

So essentially we loan them money earlier, but because of this delay with the asbestos, etc.

Now we're just they didn't use the money, so now we're extending the timeline so they can use it for this project.

Mayor, let me clarify um either your beth or Kevin.

Sure.

So the 2024, we gave them 475, right?

Of course, we switched several years ago, and that was uh uh you had a big hand in doing that, Kevin, so that they had to do it based on actually doing capital improvements.

So, how much of the 2024, 475 is left?

475.

They allocated and that was the first capital grant.

They allocated that for their HVAC project internally, and they I would to their credit, they instead of spending it somewhere else, they maintained that and said, No, we want to save that for this HVAC project that got delayed.

It was supposed to have happened, was it last year?

Last summer.

So we wouldn't have had a we wouldn't have had to come to you to extend it, but because it got delayed, that's why we're asking.

But all of that 475 will be applied to the JSVAC project.

So it's money that that we already approved.

I got that.

And then they didn't, because of a comedy of errors on the contractor side didn't use.

And if we don't approve the extension, then it just gets absorbed by our our our you know, what do you call it?

Our uh can't think of the word.

Tell me out then, right?

No, the money on the side that you know we have to do it.

Reserves?

Yeah, thank you.

It would just become part of the reserves, right?

And the money's there already.

Okay.

All right.

No, I know that makes sense.

That one I that makes sense to me.

Okay.

I wanted to make sure we weren't extending the amount.

Council Memo 32926, resolution designating financial institutions to be used as depositories for city funds.

Um this is staff requesting to add wind trust financial as a depository.

Council Memo 330 26, resolution appropriating motor fuel tax funds for the advanced traffic management system phase A project, and the amount of $98,848.77.
