“Aye. Syed. Aye. Motion passes 9-0. Our final item is new business. As a reminder, new business is for items as council is asking staff to bring back on a future agenda or for motions to reconsider past city council votes. Does anybody have any new business?

“Thank you. One thing I'm looking at here throughout all of these different vision statements is the use of the word affordable. I kind of interchange that with competitiveness as well. Let's face it, there's a lot of communities around us that we are hearing hearings on their water supply and how the privatization of their water supply has driven the costs up TO MAKE IT ALMOST UNAFFORDABLE TO LIVE IN THEIR COMMUNITIES BASED UPON WHAT THAT PRIVATE WATER SUPPLY COSTS. SO I DO THINK WE HAVE TO UNDERSTAND THAT IN THE BUSINESS OF SELLING ELECTRICITY, WE HAVE TO BE COMPETITIVE AGAINST WHAT THOSE…”

“And when it comes to asset ownership, you either have to find a site for the asset that's going to be the generator of power in your city or find a place outside of your city. So Naperville could potentially... be investing in wind, solar, nuclear, gas-fired generation? I mean, there's only so many options out there. But if you can't host enough generation in your city, you have to buy it someplace else. Is that your understanding?”

“All right, council. The goal here is to try to, give our professional staff some sort of guidance on what they should be focused on. I think the easiest way to run this is take the affirmative position, and I'm gonna be going option by option, and we're looking for a simple show of hands in the air. majority simple majority will drive that particular option as a viable option that the city should continue to pursue and if there's not a simple majority on an option then that will be guidance to not pursue so we'll start with option one hands in the air in support of option one option two”
