9 CC December 3, 2014 The City has many projects in design for construction planned for Geotechnical reports in the form of core samples, boring logs, and environmental testing for Clean Construction & Demolition Debris (CCDD) requirements, are needed for multiple projects. Generally we would authorize the Contracts separately for each project, eliminating the need for Council action. However, lumping them into one Contract gets us slightly better pricing, and we have a lot of projects underway that need this type of testing for the Design Phase. The core samples and borings should be completed before the hard freeze, and we would really like to be able to get the majority of this work paid for in the 2014 Stub Budget.

12 COTW December 3, 2014 IN MEMORY Alderman Smith recognized Wally Swanson who was an Auxiliary Police Officer with the City of Lockport for his service to the Community and for all that he did for the City. Alderman Smith said Wally never refused a call out. He was always available to work whenever he was asked. He was always willing to do whatever it was that needed to be done. When the weather was bad, he was at the intersections patrolling, Wally was always there. He passed away in late October, and Alderman Smith wanted to recognize Wally and expressed his appreciation for all that Wally did. Alderman Colarelli recognized Bill Wilker. Alderman Colarelli said Bill and I worked together when he was the first Community Service Officer for the City of Lockport. We shared an Office together in the Police Department. He was the type of guy whenever you met him you wanted to hug him. He was a very approachable and loving man. He had a great laugh. We shared a lot of laughs together and we talked a lot about life in our years together in that Office. Even after he left the Police Department, this is a guy who gave and gave and gave up until his last days, and even after he left the Police Department he would still come back and be a regular presence there and would bring candy to all the ladies in the Office and talk about things that were happening in the City. He was a great Representative and Ambassador for the City of Lockport for the years that he was with us. He has left his mark. There is a Street in Lockport named after his family, Wilker Drive, and Neuberry Ridge Subdivision was built on farmland that belonged to his family. He will be in our hearts forever and certainly here, he will be a legacy for the City of Lockport for many, many years to come.

There are 97 zones across the state. The initial enterprise zone legislation established zones for a 20-year period. In 2003, the Legislature approved the program for another 10 years. All zones that expired between 2013 and 2016 were eligible to receive an extension until July 1, The members of the Des Plaines River Valley Enterprise Zone (Joliet, Lockport, Rockdale, Romeoville and Will County) approved the 3-year extension in June After nearly three years of discussion and negotiation, the Illinois General Assembly passed the Enterprise Zone extension legislation (SB 3616) in June Governor Pat Quinn signed it in August 2012 as Public Act The legislation allows for new enterprise zones to be approved for up to 25 years in increments of 15 years and an additional 10 years. The Departments of Commerce and Economic Opportunity (DCEO) and Revenue (DOR) and the Illinois Enterprise Zone Association (IEZA) developed new zone operating procedures, rules and a revised application processes. To qualify, applications are due by December 30 th, 2014 and a decision will be announced by September, Each individual unit of government must adopt an Intergovernmental Agreement and a Designating Zone Ordinance which includes local incentives, sets the zone termination date and creates a zone administrator. The original joint group of Joliet, Lockport, Rockdale, Romeoville and Will County held a hearing on Monday December 8, 2014 and the meeting was published in the Joliet Herald News on Sunday November 20, The group agreed to extend the current arrangement between the organizations and submit the existing boundaries as an application to extend another 15 years from January 1, 2016 through December 31, 2030.

The incentives allow for Sales Tax Exemptions, Utility Tax Exemptions and certain deductions on taxable income for the petitioning business. The Administration recommends that the City Council adopt the Resolution, Ordinance and Intergovernmental Agreement authorizing participation and acceptance of the joint application for a new Des Plaines River Valley Enterprise Zone.
