“Thank you. Councilman Wilson. Thank you, Mayor. add on to this. Councilman Gibson and I met with DuPage Water Commission this past Friday. Originally 75th to 83rd was supposed to be open this past Friday or Saturday. There were issues that the township, Naperville Township, raised with regard to gravel being needed on the sides of the road. That being said, given those issues, it was supposed to be open this week. 75th to 87th was slated to be open by the 17th at the latest, and then to 95th by the end of the year. Then with regard to this traffic on the south side of 95th that's supposed to…”

“Sorry, Mayor. I don't have an additional statement to add. I guess, I don't know, both seem, the two new ones here seem... pretty succinct, both add flexibility, which to me makes sense with IPA, for example. I think Director Krueger talked about this. It's been talked about before with IPA projecting capacity concerns in 2030. But as I've talked about before, the sustainability bit does, and again, if it does change future statements things that we might be locked into. I do have concerns just because as I've talked about, sustainability means different things to different people. And…”

“Thank you, Mayor. Yeah, a couple of things. I guess to, you know, I guess this ties into the slide 14 when we looked at the vision statement and then, you know, looking at our decision framework where, again, like we just talked about sustainability on the first bullet point. Obviously, there could be more that fall into this would be reduction of greenhouse gases. Obviously, this is just one. To me, these things may end up, the vision may end up conflicting where you look at this, and I'm sure there are some people here in the audience that might like this and might not. But when I see this,…”

“Thank you, Mayor. So we had the PYB board meeting this past Thursday, and the discussion around rates was brought up. We got the report from the finance department looking at it. Sorry if this has already been talked about, but with the... RATE RECOMMENDATION CHANGES THAT WERE BROUGHT SEEMED TO LINE UP WITH THE ELECTRIC CHARGES AT LEAST YEAR-TO-DATE AND FROM THE VARIANTS FROM 2025 FROM LAST YEAR. OBVIOUSLY, SAMS, THE DEBT THAT WAS OCCURRED, BUT THEY SEEMED TO LINE UP. The question was brought up to Mayor. I don't know if, Tracy, if you have any comment on this either, but the question as far…”

“Thank you. As far as the transportation goes, is there any way we'd be able to, just from hearing feedback from the community and just sort of projects all over the state, city this year as far as book road. And I mean, you know, a lot of this is out of our control here. You know, 59 for various things have happened, Washington and Ogden. Is there any way to delay or push back some of these projects here? You know, I don't know, the site, South 40 site development at 130, 103rd and 59, I could see that being just a sort of a major inconvenience for people dealing with construction at 59 or, I…”

“Hit the button again to turn the microphone off. Yeah, no, I guess to Councilman McBroom's point, I'd certainly appreciate it. I guess to talk about the transportation point again, I know the roadway improvements, I guess I always forget about those until they happen. But I'd certainly like to look at them more in detail, just sort of to beat the dead horse. But I know I've complained about the roadways projects in the past. And we don't typically obviously get a whole lot of bids, I should say obviously, but we don't get many bids for them. And certainly to credit you guys, the roads here…”

“Thank you, Mayor. Didn't turn off the microphone this time. I guess similar thoughts, and thank you, Councilman Holzauer, for the background on the Riverwalk, some of which I guess I wasn't aware of or needed to be reminded by. But I guess... similar to getting data for the Nichols Library parking deck. I mean, maybe this is just a counterfactual, but I would be curious if it, I don't know, no idea possible to see how much utilization that small stretch of, I guess, a block would actually be used. I don't know. To me, it's just, and again i guess kind of going back here to the theme of you…”

“Councilman Wilson. Thank you, Mayor. I guess I had similar comments as far as receiving two options here, but fortunately we didn't really get that. But I guess for similar reasons as others have said, it's hard to make a distinction, I suppose. I guess Councilman Whitehead brought up perhaps doing a moratorium or a pause on this for a year or something until it comes back. But I suspect that others might not have a desire for that. So I don't know. I struggled with this. I also see other things that are harmful to individuals in the community, which we're not banning as well, that are…”

“Just a quick question for either staff or Monica or Christina. anyone really, I guess. But was the intention of business owners, restaurants, to have the wording, if you happen to know, as it's written or what was talked about at the Liquor Commission meeting? I guess more succinctly, are restaurants in support of this as it is, or was this what they desired, or was it something different?”

“Thank you, Mayor. Yeah, I guess I had similar thoughts. And I know, Chief, we've talked about similar security or privacy concerns or issues and whatnot in the past about various things that have come up with regard to cameras and whatnot. And I guess myself too had similar concerns. I guess, you know, out of the 8 million here, the big number that stands out is 6.6, which is for construction and implementation. I guess without getting too much into the weeds here, I was wondering if IT can speak? Because I know some of it's for labor, there's licensing, you know, obviously the additional…”

“Okay. Thanks. I guess, you know, just similar comments to Councilman McBroom. Just hearing from residents where, you know, the contact, you know, me and others here about speeding or obviously the e-bikes and, you know, we've had conversations about, you know, patrolling 16 year old kids or whatever, but at the same time, you know, just in my head, I'm wondering if there's a way to reduce some of those costs to allocate to other potential officers, despite, you know, what people say against, you know, bikes or e-bikes or whatever. So, yeah, I mean, those are some of my, you know, initial…”
