MAYOR GREEN: Now,
wait, stay up here. Stay here. Stay here.
We’ve got........we have a Resolution that we’d like to introduce
tonight for the team and I’m going to ask the City Clerk if she’ll read that to
you and so we can adopt it.
CLERK DUMAS: RESOLUTION NO. 2008 - 36 HONORING THE KANKAKEE HIGH SCHOOL VARSITY
FOOTBALL TEAM WHEREAS, the 2008 Kankakee
High School Varsity Football Team has enjoyed a successful season which sent
them all the way to the State Semifinals Class 5A playoffs, representing a
first for the high school. The young men
who make up this team have brought pride to the City of Kankakee and have
proven that with hard work and a positive attitude, success is attainable. Tim Ahrens, sportswriter for The Daily
Journal, has stated that there is no jealousy on this team: “No player I talked
to wanted to take credit for the wins.
Running backs Jalon Banks and Runder Smith said they didn’t care who
carried the ball; they just wanted to win.
They also credit their linemen.
Receiver Julian Bogan said the team was a family and his teammates were
his brothers.” More important than
taking credit for the wins was the team’s attitude about how much better they
had to play to get where they wanted to be.
The City of Kankakee will always remember these players, not only for
the semifinals, but for the character, strength, and fortitude it took to get
them there. The “Go, Kays!” signs which
were displayed all over town are something which this community has not seen
for a long time, and we want to thank this team for giving the citizens the
chance to celebrate a positive accomplishment for this City. The City of Kankakee would like to congratulate
these players. Praise is also due to the
superb coaches and trainers. THEREFORE,
BE IT RESOLVED by Mayor Donald E. Green and the City Council of the City of
Kankakee, do recognize and honor the Kankakee High School Varsity Football Team
and their coaches for the distinction they have earned as the most successful
squad in the high school’s history, and for the commitment, teamwork, and
values they have displayed.
Congratulations, Kays!
MAYOR GREEN: Can

MAYOR GREEN: Motion

MOTION TO APPROVE CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES OF
DECEMBER 1, 2008
MAYOR GREEN: Motion
carries. Ah, I’m going to ask Mr. O’Brien
if he would come up. He has a short
presentation he’d like to make on the Chamber’s input to the Lakota Plan for
the downtown portion. So, the Floor is
yours Mike. You and Bill.
MIKE O’BRIEN: Thank
you Mr. Mayor, members of the City Council.
Bill Yohnka, the Director of the Chamber, and I have a few comments to
make about the comprehensive Downtown Master Plan and Bill’s going to say a few
things first.
BILL YOHNKA: Each
of you have a copy of this and this is all a preliminary copy. We’ve, ah, been working on this and as you
know the history in 2000, this was done for the first time. And, there’d been a........before I took my
current position, there was kind of an update in the works. And, ah, that’s kind of what you see here is
the more finished version of that. And,
ah, really what it is, is it’s another look at our downtown plan and taking
into consideration the progress that we have made in that. So, ah, tonight this is just here for your
consideration to look over and, ah, hopefully be approved at a future meeting. But, we just wanted to, ah, let you see what
we’ve been working on and, ah, it has been a nice partnership between the City,
KDC and, the new Kankakee Chamber of Commerce which has kind of been a
subcommittee that’s taken the lead on this project and, ah, I owe a lot of the
credit to Mike O’Brien who’s kind of help to organize people to take a second
look at this and to get some fresh eyes to see this project. So, I’ll turn it over to, ah, our Board
Chairman, Mike.
MIKE O’BRIEN: Thanks
Bill, and thanks again. The Chamber
really viewed this as an opportunity and was privileged to be the, sort of the
one, the group to do the legwork on this project and it took a long time and
there’s lots of details in here and we tried to be as thorough as possible so
when we presented it to the City, it was something that would be beneficial and
ultimately be able to be approved and, most importantly, be implemented. And, we, the Chamber of Commerce, really
views this as the roadmap to build on the successes of the 2000 plan, to update
it and to make sure that this is a roadmap for future growth in the downtown
area and the area surrounding downtown.
So, it’s our hope that the City and the County and private enterprise
within our community can use this as a roadmap and really come together as we
work on a plan ultimately that the City approved and it can be a success for
future years. And, as a Chamber, it’s
our hope that we can serve a role as sort of making this happen. Once it is approved, the final product, we
want to be the ambassadors for the City, the ambassadors for this plan to
private industry and get our members and bring new members to town and make
this plan a reality. So, we thank you
for that opportunity. We want to
continue to be involved. We appreciate
the opportunity. And, there’s a number
of members of the Chamber here. Alderman
Hunter is a board member and a few others are here so it’s a group that’s
really interested in what’s going on in downtown and know that there’s more
good things ahead. So, thank you very
much.
MAYOR GREEN: Thank
you, Mike. Thank you, Bill. Any questions? Carl?
ALDERMAN BROWN: No,
I have no questions.
MAYOR GREEN: Any
questions of the gentlemen? Thank you
very much.
MIKE O’BRIEN: Thank
you.
MAYOR GREEN: Ah,
next, I’m going to call on Carl
ALDERMAN BROWN: Mr.
Mayor.
MAYOR GREEN: I’m
going to ask Carl Brown to come up. We
have a special presentation we want to make tonight to the Department of Public
Works so, Carl, the microphone’s yours.
ALDERMAN BROWN: Thank
you, Mr. Mayor. Aldermen, the reason I’m
going to do this is for two reasons. The
first reason is that people at indistinguishable the City of Kankakee indistinguishable
and they never give.......no one ever says thank you. They say thank you to us sometimes and to
elected officers, but for some reason, these people go out and they always are
the first responders. Like the snow
storm that we had last year. Those
people was out 24 hours a day sometimes.
And, no one said, ah, thank you to them.
We said indistinguishable.
Tonight, I just want to recognize those people, so I just want Bert Dear
to come forward and indistinguishable.
I would like for all the workers from Public Works to just step
forward. I don’t know about you, but
when I have a problem, Dennis is the first person I call. And, these people that you see before you
take care of your business. When I have
a grass problem I call you. When I have
a street problem, I need a hole fixed, I call him. When I have snow removal in a certain area, I
call him. So, tonight, I just want to
say thank you. And, I want to present
this plaque to your department. And, it
simply says, The City of Kankakee Appreciation Award to Department of Public
Works. The Appreciation Award is
presented to Department of Public Works for the outstanding work performed
during the 2008 snow and tree removal within the City of Kankakee. The award is given to show our appreciation
of dedication and commitment that this department has shown with the quality of
service that it provides to the residents of the City of Kankakee. And, we just want to say thank you. Dennis, this is for you.....Bert, Bert......
MAYOR GREEN: There
is a little difference.
ALDERMAN BROWN: That’s
for you and this is your certificate and Dennis, this is your certificate and
what I’ll do is I’ll present the certificates to you, Bert, and you can give
them to all the members of Public Works.
But, I just wanted to say thank you.
MAYOR GREEN: Absolutely.
BERT DEAR: When
Carl Brown first mentioned that he’d like to do something for the department,
my response was this is what we do. But,
these guys are out a lot and every once in a while the Mayor’ll give us a
letter from someone in the community tellin’ him thanks for the snow storms,
trees, and many other different things.
I mean, they might be doin’ one thing and stop from patchin’ to go
remove a tree or just so many different times they call for a barricade or
whatever, you know, but these guys, very seldom do they come together like
this. They all on a truck doing
different jobs. They do a good job. And, some of ‘em are thirty, thirty-five
years and I mentioned to one of the guys this morning, come here, Dennis,
please. And, I’d like you to just tell
them what you said. He said about coming
to Council meeting tonight.
DENNIS BOWSHER: Been
here thirty-five years. This is the
first time they’ve ever thanked us publically.
BERT DEAR: I’d
like to say thank you all. Really. They do a good job.
ALDERMAN BROWN: That’s
not all. Hold.....hold.....hold.
MAYOR GREEN: Dennis,
sometimes we’re a little slow.
ALDERMAN BROWN: Alderman
Cheryl Jones got a present to present to you guys, too.
MAYOR GREEN: Dennis,
sometimes we’re a little slow.
DENNIS BOWSHER:
I understand.
ALDERMAN JONES:
Last year I brought you
guys coffee and tea and cookies. This
year–a little help here–I do appreciate everything you guys have done in my
Ward indistinguishable and plowing our streets and keeping it safe for
everybody. I do appreciate what you guys
do.
MAYOR GREEN: Thank
you, gentlemen. We really appreciate
it. Now, I’d like to ask, if we can,
before we go on with the meeting’s agenda, if we can go into Executive Session
to discuss Personnel and, what are the three–Personnel, Litigation and
Contracts. So, I need a motion.
ALDERMAN HUNTER: I

Brown, you have an issue you need to bring up from the DPW meeting.
ALDERMAN BROWN: Yes,
Mayor. indistinguishable that
nobody bid on the salt and what we need is....
MAYOR GREEN: That’s
the fuel, you mean.
ALDERMAN BROWN: Fuel,
I’m sorry, the fuel bid. Sorry. Salt indistinguishable. What we’d like
to do, we’d like for our present provider to continue to provide us the fuel
that we need at the same price and we’ll rebid our fuel bid and, hopefully,
they’ll have that bid ready for the full Council by the first or the second
meeting in January. So, I’ll make that
in the form of a motion.
MAYOR GREEN: Yeah,
our contract runs out this month, so we need to do that until we get a new
bid. So, we’re just asking your
permission to use the current contract...... to extend it.
ALDERMAN JONES:
Second.
MAYOR GREEN: Carl
made the motion. Alderman Brown made the
motion, Alderman Jones seconded it. Any
questions? Alderman Epstein.
ALDERMAN EPSTEIN: Was
the bid advertised?
MAYOR GREEN: Yes.
ALDERMAN EPSTEIN: And,
no one responded to the bid?
MAYOR GREEN: Correct. Alderman Diersen.
ALDERMAN DIERSEN: Is
that bid for a certain amount all during the year regardless of the price or
how does that bid work?
MAYOR GREEN: It’s
a floating rate. It’s a floating
amount. It goes up and down depending on
the cost of fuel. And, I’m sorry, I don’t
have the contract here, but it depends
on what the cost of fuel is.
There’s a formula that’s applied to it.
It’s the same contract we’ve had no matter who it’s been with. It’s the same issue. That’s the best I can answer. Bert, I don’t think, is here.
ALDERMAN DIERSEN: I’m
just surprised we wouldn’t have anybody bidding on it if that’s the case.
MAYOR GREEN: We
were surprised, too. The new bid was to
take effect December 31, and of course now it can’t. Roll call.

believe there were about a dozen. indistinguishable
accurate count.
UNKNOWN: Fourteen.
MAYOR GREEN: Fourteen
less myself, Jim Spice and Anjanita. So,
there would have been eleven people there.
I think in all honesty the biggest question that came up was the issue
they were concerned about the assessments of their property and we said the
City doesn’t do any assessing of property.
So, that was the discussion. And,
of course, no one likes taxes. I guess
that’s a given, right? Any other
questions? Roll call.
