the City will utilize the next lowest price vendor based on the lowest on the road cost.

ensures that standards and procedures are updated on an annual basis. Only minor title changes are
included in the proposed revisions.

The 2021 levy for the Special Service Area #1 (Downtown Area) is provided for council
consideration. For the 2021 property tax, collected in 2022, the Special Service Area Number One

Item 21-2044 Acquisition of Permanent Easement for South Street Storm Sewer
Staff recommends approval of resolution authorizing the acquisition of permanent easements for
the South Street Storm Sewer Replacement Project. The scope of the project is to replace a section
of deteriorated and failing brick storm sewer across South Street between Academy Street and
Holton Street. The project will include replacement of approximately 550 feet of 54” brick sewer
with new 60” concrete storm sewer. The existing sewer runs near and underneath structures and
houses and the new sewer will be realigned to a location with more separation from existing
structures in the area. The cost for the seven permanent easements of $11,000 will be paid from
the City’s Storm Sewer Fund (Fund 18). This is a planned and budgeted project for 2021.
BIDS, PETITIONS AND COMMUNICATIONS
Item 21-3027 Traffic Signal LED Modules
Staff recommends approval of the bid in the amount of $63,377.00 from MoboTrex, Inc. for
supplying traffic signal LED modules. The current LED modules have performed well and have
exceeded their life expectancy. However, the LED modules lose their intensity and burn out over
time and therefore need to be replaced. Four vendors responded to this request, with MoboTrex Inc.
submitting the low bid that met specifications. General Traffic Equipment Corp. provided a lower
bid in the amount of $59,942.75. However, after a review of their proposed product and a
discussion with the product manufacturer, it was determined that the LED module did not meet
the required bid specifications. A 15-year warranty was provided, but the product was not designed
to perform for 15 years as was specified. There are sufficient funds budgeted in the Building Repair
and Maintenance Fund (Fund 053) for this purchase.
CITY MANAGER’S REPORT
A. December TAC Report
MISCELLANEOUS BUSINESS (Agreements, Approvals, Etc.)

Hourly employees; 2% for AFSCME employees; and 2.25% for Fire employees.

Staff recommends approval of an agreement with Bruner, Cooper, and Zuck, Inc. to provide
architectural and engineering services for a feasibility study to locate the National Railroad Hall
of Fame (NRHOF) at 465 Mulberry Street. The NRHOF has requested the city to evaluate the cost
for the NRHOF to occupy one floor in the building located at 465 Mulberry Street as a possible
lower cost alternative to construction of a new building. The cost of the agreement with Bruner,
Cooper, and Zuck, Inc is not to exceed $11,000 and would be paid from the Economic
Development Fund (24).
Item 21-4125 Trailer for Walk Behind Saw
Staff recommends approval of the purchase of a trailer for the walk behind saw for the Water
Division from Rock Line Products Inc. in the amount of $10,605.00. This purchase was originally

in mid-September to the time the purchase was approved by council in mid-November, the price

December 6, 2021 Page 4 of 13
Council Member White moved,seconded by Council Member Wallace,to approve Resolution
21-36 authorizing a not to exceed amount of $60,000 to provide rental assistance funds to the
Knox County Housing Authority.
Council Member Smith-Esters asked several questions regarding the proposed resolution and
rental assistance program.Cheryl Lefler,Knox County Housing Authority Assistant Director,
reported that there are currently 150 families (approximately 400 people)that are in arrears
and that some payments had been received by tenants since the November 10th letter.Those
receiving financial assistance would need to complete budgeting classes and provide one month
of rent.These requirements are for accountability purposes and details are still being worked
out as to what organizations or partners could assist with the counseling.
Lefler noted that many people are behind in rent due to having to make difficult decisions over
the last eighteen months.The Housing Authority has requested that the City and County assist
with past due rent in order to avoid eviction of these 150 families.The total amount of rental
arrears outlined for City families in early November was $110,097.This amount changes
regularly due to assistance from other organizations and new rent cycles.
The City Manager noted that the use of funds from the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA)is
authorized for eviction prevention or housing stability services necessitated by COVID 19.On
November 24th,the Knox County Board approved a resolution directing up to $125,000 towards
this rental assistance program from their ARPA funds.It is intended that the City’s contribution
not exceed $60,000 that it would be used to reduce the amount that the County is contributing
to the Housing Authority.He also noted that unlike renters in private units,the individuals in
housing are not eligible for any other rental assistance.
Council Member Smith Esters asked how rent would be paid and the checks and balances put in
place for the program.Lefler noted that individuals would first have to go through the
application process and meet the guidelines for counseling and providing one month of rent.
After that was complete,a voucher would likely be submitted to the City or County so that there
is accountability.
Council Member Cox asked the amount of ARPA funding the City received vs.the County.The
City Manager stated that the City will receive $4.1 million (half of that amount has been
received to date).The County will receive over $9 million.Council Member Cox noted that the
County Board appoints the Knox County Housing Board and that the residents are all in Knox
County.For those reasons and the fact that they received twice as much ARPA funding,he
believes the County should be supporting the majority of this program.

PUBLIC COMMENT
Vida Schultz addressed the Council and stated that she is part of the newly formed “Save
Hawthorne Pool.”The group met with Director Oligney-Estill and appreciated his time and
explanation of the hidden costs and safety issues with the pool.She understands that the pool
is in bad disrepair but doesn’t understand why it was neglected for so many years.She
encouraged the Council to form an advisory committee to look at the 2019 Parks &Recreation
Master Plan and find out why the pool is not being used and how a new community pool could
be built.
Diane Oliver addressed the Council and stated that when she was growing up,if something was
broken it was fixed and not simply thrown away.She believes the pool is needed for our kids
and seniors.
Pam Davidson,Knox County Board,addressed the Council and added that the repairs at the
pool need to be fixed after years of neglect.The pool has always been open to the kids from the
south side who desperately need swimming lessons.She encouraged the City to use ARPA
funds to make the repairs since she believes it falls within the guidelines.Davidson stated that
the pool at the YMCA is too compact and can’t accommodate water aerobics.She would like to
see the City have a sports complex with a pool, gym and ball diamonds.
Anthony Law,Carl Sandburg College,addressed the Council and reiterated his earlier challenge
to the City and Council to engage our youth.He noted that several of his students have
submitted Youth Commission applications and he wanted to publicly thank the Council for
investing in the youth of the community.The following students introduced themselves:
Chantiara Jackson,Eciel Burns,Precious Dortch,Chris Lopez,Desire Matthews,Josué Bashombe,
and Richy Moreno.
Joe Hicks addressed the Council regarding a possible new zoning classification that would allow
for neighborhood businesses.Certain requirements could be issued to include a maximum size,
the option to have an accessory structure, and the elimination of parking space minimums.
Reverend Andrew Jowers addressed the Council and asked for clarification on terraces.The City
Manager stated that it is typically the grassy area between the curb and the sidewalk.Jowers
December 6, 2021 Page 6 of 13
feels that the old ordinance needs to be revamped to allow for a new way of thinking.He also
would like to see the City spend the funds needed to make improvements to Hawthorne Pool
and believes it will help Galesburg thrive.He also made a comment that the staff at the Knox
County Housing Authority are not representative of the individuals living there.
Brother Shabazz echoed the stated support for our community ’s youth and added that the City
needs to do a better job.He further stated that many people are facing evictions and that the
unemployment rates between the black population and white population is 60/40 and blames
this on extreme racism.He stated the hiring practices in our community are racist and that
white people are making all the decisions on hiring.Mr.Shabazz added that the veteran’s
assistance program through the Salvation Army would not provide assistance to him and used
their reason for not doing so at his failure to job search.
CITY MANAGER’S REPORT
The City recently held the second Stuff the Bus event,during which non-perishable food items,
as well as diapers and wipes,were collected throughout the month of November for the FISH
Food Pantry and Loving Bottoms Diaper Bank.The event generated a total of 2,500 items.He
thanked The Strength Collective,Save-A-Lot,Hy-Vee,and Walmart who participated in the
effort by collecting donations and allowing the bus to be parked on their property.
The City Manager also noted that weekly yard waste collection ended November 30th and will
now be collected monthly during the winter months of December,January,and February.

December 6, 2021 Page 7 of 13
architectural/engineering work to provide an estimated cost to renovate Churchill Junior High
School.
Council Member Cox stated that he reviewed the five-year Capital Plan and we have in excess of
$5 million in unmet needs for projects,not including Hawthorne Pool.He believes that the
study from the School District is ten years old and that even at that time there was millions of
dollars needed for maintenance and repairs.He noted that the heat and electric are past their
life expectancy and that the tour reinforced those needs for him.
Council Member Hix stated that the report from 2010 showed repairs of $7.7 million and that
the City does not have that level of funding available.
Council Member Smith-Esters noted that she is in support of approving the study and believes
that $16,000 is a small cost to spend for our youth.She also inquired if the City could apply for
ARPA funds from the County.
Council Member White expressed his support of the study and added that we no longer have a
community center and that the City should be challenged to find a location for the youth and
senior citizens of our community. He asked the Council to give it the opportunity.
Council Member Hix affirmed that he agrees with the goal for our youth and the passion other
Council Members have for the project, but believes the cost is too much.
Mayor Schwartzman reported that when he and the City Manager met with the School District
the idea of Churchill peaked his interest.He added that possibly other agencies and community
partners could be housed in the building,as well as have it serve as a permanent warming
shelter.Other ideas could include it being a new location for the Parks &Recreation
Department but that a study needs to be done in order to be aware of the issues and options.
Council Member Wallace commented that he also understands the passion that individuals
have with this building and its possible use.He hasn’t seen anything for our youth and we don’t

Council Member Cox expressed that the recent strategic planning sessions were very good and
many important goals were recognized,with youth being a priority.He stated that he is looking
forward to the new library,which will have a common room that could be used as a community
center area.He also encouraged the City to look into a partnership with the YMCA about a
possible new pool,especially with their building being closely connected to the high school.He
added that the school could assist with bus transportation and the YMCA does offer
membership scholarships.
Council Member Cox also thanked Mr.Hicks for coming forward regarding the neighborhood
business zoning and believes it ’s something the City should possibly consider.
Council Member Hix reported on an article he read recently that explained Illinois’pension debt
and that Galesburg is listed among 20 cities and towns that has a public safety pension fund
with less than 50 cents saved for every $1 in future promises.He noted that the article shows
Galesburg ’s pension debt at 74%of the property tax levy,with an average of over $37,000 in
pension debt per household.He believes it will be difficult to afford to do large projects and
that we need to increase our population.
Council Member Wallace thanked those who attended the meeting and talked about issues that
they are passionate about.He believes the City needs to be held accountable to provide
inclusiveness and diversity.He added that the Council Members better represent the town now
and he is looking forward to working on the goals from the strategic planning session.

information with the Council.This is their fourth year in existence and he hopes that they
continue to get more students involved and interested in the program.
He commented that he thought the first Holly Days Parade was amazing despite the weather
and has never seen so many smiling faces in one day.He was privileged to serve as the parade
marshall and thanked the Downtown Community Partnership for their efforts.
The Mayor also reported that the Council,along with City department directors,attended
sixteen hours of community strategic planning Friday and Saturday.He noted that the plan
document should be available in a few days which outline approximately 20 goals.He added
that the next steps will be to flush out the implementation of the plan and to work on
community partnerships to do so.He wanted to publicly thank the City directors and managers
for taking time out of their schedules to attend the sessions.
Mayor Schwartzman closed by saying that pride in our community is very important and he felt
like that parade played a large role in expressing that over the weekend.He expressed how
young people want to be part of the solution and involved with ways to make our community

undertaken in a manner that seeks to insure the preservation of capital in the portfolio.
Credit Risk
Credit Risk is the risk of loss due to the failure of the security issuer or backer. Credit risk may be
mitigated by:
•Limiting investments to the safest types of securities
•Pre-qualifying the financial institutions, broker/dealers and advisors with which
an entity will do business, and
•Diversifying the investment portfolio so that potential losses on individual
securities will be minimized.

Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the market value of securities in the portfolio will fall due to
changes in general interest rates. Interest rate risk may be mitigated by:
•Structuring the investment portfolio so that securities mature to meet cash
requirements for ongoing operations, thereby avoiding the need to sell
securities on the open market prior to maturity, and
•By investing operating funds primarily in shorter-term securities
Liquidity
The investment portfolio shall remain sufficiently liquid to meet all operating requirements that
may be reasonably anticipated. This is accomplished by structuring the portfolio so that securities
mature concurrent with cash need to meet anticipated demands (static liquidity). Furthermore,
since all possible cash demands cannot be anticipated, the portfolio should consist largely of
securities with active secondary or resale markets (dynamic liquidity). A portion of the portfolio
also may be placed in money market mutual funds or Council approved local government
investment pools, which offers same-day liquidity for short-term funds.
Yield
The City’s investment portfolio shall be designed with the objective of attaining a market rate of
return throughout budgetary and economic cycles, taking into account the City’s risk constraints
and liquidity needs. The core of investments is limited to relatively low risk securities in
anticipation of earning a fair return relative to the risk being assumed. Securities shall not be sold
prior to maturity with the following exceptions:
1)a declining credit security could be sold early to minimize loss of principal;
2)a security swap would improve the quality yield, or target duration in the portfolio;
or
3) liquidity needs of the portfolio require that the security be sold
STANDARDS OF CARE
Prudence
The standard of prudence to be used in the investment function shall be the “Prudent Person”
standard and shall be applied in the context of managing the overall portfolio. This standard states
“Investments shall be made with judgment and care, under circumstances then prevailing, which
persons of prudence, discretion, and intelligence exercise in the management of their own affairs,
not for speculation, but for investment, considering the probable safety of their capital as well as
the expected income to be derived.”
The Investment Officer and those delegated with investment authority under this policy, when
acting in accordance with the written procedures and this policy, and in accord with the Prudent
Person Rule, shall be relieved of personal responsibility and liability in the management of the
portfolio.

Ethics and Conflicts of Interest
Officers and employees involved in the investment process shall refrain from personal business
activity that could conflict with the proper execution and management of the investment program,
or that could impair their ability to make impartial decisions.
Delegation of Authority
Authority to manage the City of Galesburg’s investment program is granted to the Director of
Finance and derived from the state statutes.
The Director of Finance is designated as the Investment Officer and is responsible for investment
management decisions and activities. All participants in the investment process shall seek to act
responsibly as custodians of the public trust. The Investment Officer shall develop and maintain
written administrative procedures for the operation of the investment program, which are
consistent with this investment policy. Procedures will include reference to selection of
broker/dealers and financial institutions, safekeeping, repurchase agreements, wire transfer
agreements, banking services contracts, and other investment related activities.
The Investment Officer shall be responsible for all transactions undertaken and shall establish a
system of controls to regulate the activities of subordinate officials and staff. The Investment
Officer shall designate the Senior Accountant Assistant Finance Director as a liaison/deputy in the
event circumstances require timely action and the Investment Officer is not available.
No person may engage in an investment transaction except as provided under the terms of this
policy and the procedures established by the Investment Officer.
SAFEKEEPING AND CUSTODY
Authorized Financial Dealers and Institutions
A list will be maintained of financial institutions authorized to provide investment services. In
addition, a list will also be maintained, by the Investment Officer, of approved security
brokers/dealers selected by creditworthiness. No public deposit shall be made except to a qualified
public depository as established by the state statutes.
The Investment Officer may approve a broker or dealer to sell securities to the City if the broker
or dealer meets the following criteria:
•Provides audited financial statements for the past three fiscal years.
•Provides proof of membership in the Securities Investor Protection
Corporation.
•Provides proof of registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
•Provides proof of membership in a self-regulatory organization such as the
National Association of Securities Dealers, the Financial Industry Regulatory
Authority or the New York Stock Exchange.
•Provides proof of state registration.
•Has been in operation for at least 10 years, or in the case of broker/dealer
companies that have been created as result of mergers or acquisitions, have a
substantial operating history.

Approved: October 19, 2020December 20, 2021
Once a broker/dealer is approved to sell securities to the City, the broker/dealer must continue to
provide its most current audited annual financial statements along with the submission of the
annually completed and signed “Authorized Financial Dealers Investment Policy Acceptance”
form.
All security brokers/dealers with whom the City transacts business will be provided a copy of this
Investment Policy. All security broker/dealers will provide the City with certification of having
read and understood and agreeing to comply with the City’s investment policy.
An annual review of the registration of qualified broker/dealers will be conducted by the Director
of Finance.
Internal Controls
The Investment Officer is responsible for establishing and maintaining an internal control structure
designed to ensure that assets of the City are protected from loss, theft or misuse. The controls
shall be designed to ensure that the assets of the entity are protected from loss, theft or misuse.
The internal control structure shall be designed to provide reasonable assurance that these
objectives are met. The concept of reasonable assurance recognized that (1) the cost of a control
should not exceed the benefits likely to be derived and (2) the valuation of costs and benefits
require estimates and judgments by management.
Accordingly, the Director of Finance shall establish a process for an annual review by an external
independent review by the City’s independent auditor to assure compliance with policies and
procedures. The internal controls shall address the following points:
•Control of collusion
•Separation of transaction authority from accounting and recordkeeping
•Custodial safekeeping
•Avoidance of physical delivery securities
•Clear delegation of authority to subordinate staff members
•Written confirmation of transactions for investments and wire transfers
•Development of a wire transfer agreement with the lead bank and third-party
custodian
Delivery vs. Payment
All security transactions, where applicable, entered into by the City, shall be conducted on a
delivery-versus-payment (DVP) basis to ensure that securities are deposited in an eligible
financial institution before the release of funds.
SUITABLE INVESTMENTS
Investment Types
The City may invest in any type of security allowed for in Illinois statutes under the Public Funds
Investment Act (30 ILCS 235/1) regarding the investment of public funds for home rule
municipalities. With Council’s approval prior to the purchase of the following type of investment,
approved investments also include an adjustment to the following section of 30 ILCS 235/1 a-1:
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Page 6
Approved: October 19, 2020December 20, 2021
•With Council’s prior approval, the City may also invest in unrated bonds or debt
certificates issued by any local governmental unit of the State of Illinois, of any
other state, or of any political subdivision or agency of the State of Illinois or of
any other state, whether the interest earned thereon is taxable or tax-exempt under
federal law. The debt certificates shall be registered in the name of the City or held
under a custodial agreement at a bank.
If Illinois State statutes for investment of public funds approve additional types of securities, they
will be eligible for investment by the City. This policy shall be amended to reflect the additional
types of securities for investment and the amended version approved by the City Council.
Direct specific investment parameters for the investment of public funds in Illinois are found in
the Illinois State Statutes, Public Funds Investment Act 30ILCS 235.
Collateralization
Funds on deposit in excess of FDIC or SIPC limits must be secured by some form of collateral,
witnessed by a written agreement. The amount of collateral provided will not be less than 100
percent of the fair market value of the net amount of public funds secured. Collateral shall be either
in the form of securities specifically pledged to and held in the City’s name and held in safekeeping
by an independent third party custodian designated by the City Council, such as a trust institution,
or a Federal Reserve Bank and evidenced by a safekeeping agreement which complies with the
Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) requirement for control, or in the form of an original Federal
Home Loan Bank irrevocable Letter of Credit issued to the City of Galesburg or an agent of the
City of Galesburg equal to 100 percent of the fair market value of the net amount of public funds
secured. The custodian may not be owned or controlled by the depository institution or its holding
company unless it is a separately operated trust institution. The UCC states that the depositor does
not have a perfected interest in a security unless the depositor controls it. Control means that swaps,
sales, and transfers cannot occur without the depositor’s written approval. A detail monthly
statement listing a description of securities pledged and held in safekeeping must be provided to
the City. The City will accept any of the following securities as collateral:
•Negotiable obligations of the United States Government; or
•Negotiable obligations of any agency or instrumentality of the United States
Government guaranteed by the full faith and credit of the United States
Government; or
•Negotiable obligations of the State of Illinois
Substitutions of collateral should meet the requirements of the collateral agreement, be approved
in writing prior to release, and the collateral should not be released until the replacement collateral
has been received.
Repurchase Agreements
Repurchase agreements shall be consistent with GFOA Recommended Practices on Repurchase
Agreements.

INVESTMENT PARAMETERS
Diversification
The investments shall be diversified by:
•Limiting investments to avoid overconcentration in securities from a specific
issuer or business sector (excluding U.S. Treasury securities or investments
federally insured such as with FDIC),
•Limiting investment securities that have higher credit risks,
•Investing in securities with varying maturities and
•Continuously investing with a portion of the portfolio in readily available funds
such as local government investment pools, money market or overnight
repurchase agreements to ensure that appropriate liquidity is maintained in
order to meet ongoing obligations.
Maximum Maturities
To the extent possible, the City will attempt to match its investments with anticipated cash flow
requirements. We recognize that there is a permanent part of the portfolio, and when the increase
in return for extending maturities is compelling, the Director of Finance may consider extending a
segment of the portfolio into longer-term maturities. The maximum maturity for City investments
shall be ten (10) years. The average maturity of the total portfolio shall not exceed five (5) years.
Because of inherent difficulties in accurately forecasting cash flow requirements, a portion of the
portfolio should be continuously invested in readily available funds such as local government
investment pools, money market funds, or overnight repurchase agreements to ensure that
appropriate liquidity is maintained to meet ongoing obligations.
Competitive Bid
A competitive “bid” shall be conducted, except for funds placed in local government investment
pools and/or approved savings accounts or, when the City directly invests surplus funds in
investment instruments. If the holding bank of a maturing certificate of deposit is offering a
competitive rollover interest rate, the certificate of deposit can be rolled over to a new maturity
date without a competitive bid.
REPORTING
Methods
The Investment Officer shall submit quarterly reports to the City Manager and the City Council
containing sufficient information to permit an informed outside reader to evaluate the performance
of the investment program. The report should summarize investment securities held at the end of
the reporting period, maturities, returns, percentage of the portfolio which each type of investment
represents or other factors of importance. The market value of the portfolio shall be included
within the quarterly reports.

policy. The portfolio, taking into account the City’s investment constraints and cash flow needs,
should obtain a comparable rate of return during a market/economic environment of stable interest
rates. A series of appropriate benchmarks shall be established against which portfolio performance
shall be compared on a regular basis.

of Finance and any other appropriate authority, as well as the individual(s) charged with
maintaining internal controls.

GLOSSARY OF CASH MANAGEMENT TERMS
The following is a glossary of key investing terms, many of which appear in the Investment Policy.
This glossary has been adapted from an article, entitled "Investment terms for everyday use," that
appeared in the April 5, 1996, issue of Public Investor, GFOA's subscription investment
newsletter.
Accrued Interest - The accumulated interest due on a bond as of the last interest payment made
by the issuer.
Agency - A debt security issued by a federal or federally sponsored agency. Federal agencies are
backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. Federally sponsored agencies (FSAs)
are backed by each particular agency with a market perception that there is an implicit government
guarantee. An example of federal agency is the Government National Mortgage Association
(GNMA). An example of a FSA is the Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA).
Amortization - The systematic reduction of the amount owed on a debt issue through periodic
payments of principal.
Average Life - The average length of time that an issue of serial bonds and/or term bonds with a
mandatory sinking fund feature is expected to be outstanding.
Basis Point - A unit of measurement used in the valuation of fixed-income securities equal to
1/100 of 1 percent of yield, e.g., "1/4" of 1 percent is equal to 25 basis points.
Bid - The indicated price at which a buyer is willing to purchase a security or commodity.
Book Value - The value at which a security is carried on the inventory lists or other financial
records of an investor. The book value may differ significantly from the security's current value in
the market.
Callable Bond - A bond issue in which all or part of its outstanding principal amount may be
redeemed before maturity by the issuer under specified conditions.
Call Price - The price at which an issuer may redeem a bond prior to maturity. The price is usually
at a slight premium to the bond's original issue price to compensate the holder for loss of income
and ownership.
Call Risk - The risk to a bondholder that a bond may be redeemed prior to maturity.
Cash Sale/Purchase - A transaction which calls for delivery and payment of securities on the
same day that the transaction is initiated.

Collateralization - Process by which a borrower pledges securities, property, or other deposits for
the purpose of securing the repayment of a loan and/or security.
Commercial Paper - An unsecured short-term promissory note issued by corporations, with
maturities ranging from 2 to 270 days.
Convexity - A measure of a bond's price sensitivity to changing interest rates. A high convexity
indicates greater sensitivity of a bond's price to interest rate changes.
Coupon Rate - The annual rate of interest received by an investor from the issuer of certain types
of fixed-income securities. Also known as the "interest rate."
Credit Quality - The measurement of the financial strength of a bond issuer. This measurement
helps an investor to understand an issuer's ability to make timely interest payments and repay the
loan principal upon maturity. Generally, the higher the credit quality of a bond issuer, the lower
the interest rate paid by the issuer because the risk of default is lower. Credit quality ratings are
provided by nationally recognized rating agencies.
Credit Risk - The risk to an investor that an issuer will default in the payment of interest and/or
principal on a security.
Current Yield (Current Return) - A yield calculation determined by dividing the annual interest
received on a security by the current market price of that security.
Delivery Versus Payment (DVP) - A type of securities transaction in which the purchaser pays
for the securities when they are delivered either to the purchaser or his/her custodian.
Derivative Security - Financial instrument created from, or whose value depends upon, one or
more underlying assets or indexes of asset values.
Discount - The amount by which the par value of a security exceeds the price paid for the security.
Diversification - A process of investing assets among a range of security types by sector, maturity,
and quality rating.
Duration - A measure of the timing of the cash flows, such as the interest payments and the
principal repayment, to be received from a given fixed-income security. This calculation is based
on three variables: term to maturity, coupon rate, and yield to maturity. The duration of a security
is a useful indicator of its price volatility for given changes in interest rates.
Fair Value - The amount at which an investment could be exchanged in a current transaction
between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale.

Federal Funds (Fed Funds) - Funds placed in Federal Reserve banks by depository institutions
in excess of current reserve requirements. These depository institutions may lend fed funds to each
other overnight or on a longer basis. They may also transfer funds among each other on a same-
day basis through the Federal Reserve banking system. Fed funds are considered to be immediately
available funds.
Federal Funds Rate - Interest rate charged by one institution lending federal funds to the other.
Government Securities - An obligation of the U.S. government, backed by the full faith and credit
of the government. These securities are regarded as the highest quality of investment securities
available in the U.S. securities market. See "Treasury Bills, Notes, and Bonds."
Interest Rate - See "Coupon Rate."
Interest Rate Risk - The risk associated with declines or rises in interest rates which cause an
investment in a fixed-income security to increase or decrease in value.
Internal Controls - An internal control structure designed to ensure that the assets of the entity
are protected from loss, theft, or misuse. The internal control structure is designed to provide
reasonable assurance that these objectives are met. The concept of reasonable assurance recognizes
that 1) the cost of a control should not exceed the benefits likely to be derived and 2) the valuation
of costs and benefits requires estimates and judgments by management. Internal controls should
address the following points:
1.Control of collusion - Collusion is a situation where two or more employees are working in
conjunction to defraud their employer.
2.Separation of transaction authority from accounting and record keeping - By separating
the person who authorizes or performs the transaction from the people who record or otherwise
account for the transaction, a separation of duties is achieved.
3.Custodial safekeeping - Securities purchased from any bank or dealer including appropriate
collateral (as defined by state law) shall be placed with an independent third party for custodial
safekeeping.
4.Avoidance of physical delivery securities - Book-entry securities are much easier to transfer
and account for since actual delivery of a document never takes place. Delivered securities
must be properly safeguarded against loss or destruction. The potential for fraud and loss
increases with physically delivered securities.
5.Clear delegation of authority to subordinate staff members - Subordinate staff members
must have a clear understanding of their authority and responsibilities to avoid improper
actions. Clear delegation of authority also preserves the internal control structure that is
contingent on the various staff positions and their respective responsibilities.
6.Written confirmation of transactions for investments and wire transfers - Due to the
potential for error and improprieties arising from telephone and electronic transactions, all
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Page 13
Approved: October 19, 2020December 20, 2021
transactions should be supported by written communications and approved by the appropriate
person. Written communications may be via fax if on letterhead and if the safekeeping
institution has a list of authorized signatures.
7.Development of a wire transfer agreement with the lead bank and third-party custodian
-The designated official should ensure that an agreement will be entered into and will address
the following points: controls, security provisions, and responsibilities of each party making
and receiving wire transfers.
Inverted Yield Curve - A chart formation that illustrates long-term securities having lower yields
than short-term securities. This configuration usually occurs during periods of high inflation
coupled with low levels of confidence in the economy and a restrictive monetary policy.
Investment Company Act of 1940- Federal legislation which sets the standards by which
investment companies, such as mutual funds, are regulated in the areas of advertising, promotion,
performance reporting requirements, and securities valuations.
Investment Policy - A concise and clear statement of the objectives and parameters formulated
by an investor or investment manager for a portfolio of investment securities.

to reflect its current market value.
Market Risk - The risk that the value of a security will rise or decline as a result of changes in
market conditions.
Market Value - Current market price of a security.
Maturity - The date on which payment of a financial obligation is due. The final stated maturity
is the date on which the issuer must retire a bond and pay the face value to the bondholder. See

(short-term debt instruments, such as Treasury bills, commercial paper, bankers' acceptances,
repos and federal funds).

the fund's portfolio. (See below.) [(Total assets) - (Liabilities)]/(Number of shares outstanding)
No Load Fund - A mutual fund which does not levy a sales charge on the purchase of its shares.
Nominal Yield - The stated rate of interest that a bond pays its current owner, based on par value

FINANCIAL REPORTING ENTITY
The City of Galesburg (City) is a municipal corporation governed by a mayor and city council,
which are elected by the public and have the exclusive responsibility and accountability for the
decisions it makes. The City has the statutory authority to adopt its own budget, to levy taxes, and
to issue bonded debt without the approval of another government. It has the right to sue and be
sued, and has the right to buy, sell, lease, or mortgage property in its own name. The City is bound
by Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), Government Auditing Standards
promulgated by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB), all applicable state
statutes and the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Uniform Guidance. All financial,
reporting, and accounting policies will be reviewed and maintained in accordance with these
requirements.
MEASUREMENT FOCUS, BASIS OF ACCOUNTING AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The City of Galesburg implemented GASB 34 during fiscal year end March 31, 2002. GASB 34
requires government wide financial statements as well as fund financial statements. While the
measurement focus and basis of accounting will remain the same for the fund financial statements,
the government-wide statements will be completed using the flow of economic resources
measurement focus and the full accrual basis of accounting. The financial policies outlined below
are based on fund financial statements.
Fund Financial Statements
The accounts of the City are organized on a basis of funds. A fund is an independent fiscal and
accounting entity with a self-balancing set of accounts. Fund accounting segregates funds
according to their intended purpose and is used to aid management in demonstrating compliance
with finance related legal and contractual provisions. A minimum number of funds are maintained
consistent with legal and managerial requirements. General fixed assets and long-term liabilities
of the City are reported in a separate GASB 34 Fund.
The City has the following funds:
Governmental Funds are used to account for the City’s general government operating
activities. Governmental fund types use the flow of current financial resources
measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Under the modified
accrual basis of accounting revenue is recognized when it becomes susceptible to accrual
or “measurable and available”. Measurable means the amount of the transaction can be
determined and available means collectible within the current period or soon enough
thereafter to pay liabilities of the current period.
Expenditures are recognized when the related fund liability is incurred, except for interest
incurred but not yet payable on general long-term debt which is recognized when due, and
certain compensated absences which are recognized when the liabilities are expected to be
liquidated with available financial resources.
Property and personal property replacement taxes, special assessments, charges for
services and interest are susceptible to accrual. Sales taxes collected and held by the state
Page 4 of 23
Approved November 16, 2020December 20, 2021
at year-end on behalf of the City are also recognized as revenue, to the extent they are
received within 60 days of the fiscal year end.
Miscellaneous revenue items, which are not susceptible to accrual, are recognized only as
they are received in cash.
Entitlements and grants are recognized as revenue at the time of receipt or earlier if
susceptible to modified accrual criteria is met. Expenditure driven grants are recognized
as revenue when the qualifying expenditures have been incurred and all other grant
requirements have been met and monies have been received during the fiscal year or within
60 days of the fiscal year end.
Governmental fund types include the general fund, special revenue funds, capital projects
funds, debt service funds, and permanent funds. The funds are defined as follows:
• General Fund
The general fund should be used to account for and report all financial resources not
accounted for and reported in another fund.
• Special Revenue Funds
Special revenue funds are used to account for and report the proceeds of specific revenue
sources that are restricted or committed to expenditures for specific purposes other than
debt service or capital projects. The restricted or committed proceeds of the specific
revenue sources should be expected to continue to comprise a substantial portion of the
inflows reported in the fund. Other resources, such as investment earnings and transfers
from other funds, also may be reported in the fund if those resources are restricted,
committed or assigned to the specified purpose of the fund. The City should discontinue
reporting a special revenue fund, and instead report the fund’s remaining resources in
another fund type as the general fund, if the government no longer expects that a
substantial port of the inflows will derive from restricted or committed revenue sources.
• Capital Project Funds
Capital projects funds are used to account for and report financial resources that are
restricted, committed, or assigned to expenditure for capital outlays, including the
acquisition of construction of capital facilities and other capital assets. Capital projects
funds exclude those types of capital-related outflows financed by proprietary funds or
for assets that will be held in trust for individuals, private organizations or other
governments.
• Debt Service Funds
Debt service funds are used to account for and report financial resources that are
restricted, committed or assigned to expenditure for principal and interest, even if it is
being accumulated for future years’ payments. Debt service funds should be used to
report resources if legally mandated.
• Permanent Funds
Page 5 of 23
Approved November 16, 2020December 20, 2021
Permanent funds should be used to account for and report resources that are restricted
to the extent that only earnings, and not principal, may be used for purposes that support
the reporting government’s programs. Permanent funds do not include private-purpose
trust funds, which should be used to report situations in which the government is
required to use the principal or earnings for the benefit of individuals, private
organizations or other governments.
Proprietary Funds are accounted for using the flow of economic resources measurement
focus and the accrual basis of accounting. Under this method, revenues are recognized
when earned and expenses are recognized at the time the liabilities are incurred.
Fiduciary Funds are used to account for assets held by the City in a trustee capacity or as
an agent on behalf of others. The fiduciary funds include trust and agency funds.
OPERATING REVENUE POLICIES
The City will strive to maintain a diversified and stable revenue system to shelter the government
from short-term fluctuations in any one-revenue source to ensure its ability to provide ongoing
services.
The Finance Department will prepare and maintain both short and long-term revenue projections
to be used for development of future projects and service opportunities and to identify future short
falls in order to allow for time to develop alternate revenue sources.
Property Tax Revenue
Property taxes are recognized as a receivable at the time they are levied. Property taxes are levied
each year on all taxable real property in the city. Property taxes are assessed in December and
attach as an enforceable lien on the property as of the proceeding January 1. These taxes become
due and collectible in June and September of the following year, and are collected by the county
collector, who in turn remits to the City its respective share. The City receives these remittances
approximately one month after the collection dates. Property tax revenue needs are addressed
using a target rate and in monitoring un-collectable amounts.
Other Tax Revenue
All other tax revenue is recognized when measurable and available. Accounts receivable are
adjusted at year-end according to tax amounts received during the fiscal year or relating to that
fiscal year and received within 60 days of the fiscal year end.
Restricted Revenues
The City receives and will aggressively pursue many types of restricted funds. These revenues
shall be used only for the purposes legally permissible and in a fiscally responsible manner. All
federally funded grant revenues will be spent and managed in accordance with Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) Uniform Guidance. Acceptance of these types of funds will
include a review of matching fund requirements, related operating expenditures, the length of the
program and consequential disposition of the program. All grant revenue is recognized when the
Page 6 of 23
Approved November 16, 2020December 20, 2021
actual expenditure financed by the grant is made. Other restricted revenue is recorded when
measurable and available.
Fees, Licenses, Permits and other Miscellaneous Items
All fees for licenses, permits, fines, and other miscellaneous charges shall be set to recover related
costs and are recognized when measurable and available. These fees shall be reviewed and
adjusted accordingly during the annual budget process.
Intergovernmental Assistance
Intergovernmental assistance will be used to finance only those items that are consistent with
approved capital improvement plans and/or other approved programs/agreements.
Intergovernmental revenue is recognized when measurable and available.
Fees - Enterprise Funds
Enterprise fund fees and rates will be reviewed annually through the budget process. All charges
and fees will be set to ensure all costs of providing those services are provided for including related
debt obligations and depreciation of property and equipment.
Fees - Internal Service Funds
Internal Service fund fees charged to various City funds and departments will be reviewed annually
during the budget process to ensure all costs of providing those services are provided for including
related debt obligations and depreciation of property and equipment.
The amounts paid for past claims, the number of employees by department and fund and reserve
requirements are some of various factors which may be used as the basis for estimating fees paid
to the Risk Management Fund (see Risk Management Policies).
Refund for Use of Recreation Services and/or Facilities
When refunds for the use of recreation facilities or services are permitted and approved by the
department head, in order to cover expenses which are incurred in processing the refund, the
amount submitted back to the customer will be reduced by 10 percent of the amount collected for
the service and/or facility. The refund will be submitted to the customer through ACH and credited
to the customer’s bank account.
OPERATING EXPENDITURE POLICIES
The City will conduct business by following a sound cash management policy employing a pay-
as-you-go basis. All attempts will be made to reduce costs where appropriate. All current
operating, maintenance, depreciation, direct and indirect costs will be funded through the use of
current revenues. All operating expenditures will be approved by City Council as they become
payable. See Fund Balance Policies for acceptable uses of fund balance reserves.
Inventories
Page 7 of 23
Approved November 16, 2020December 20, 2021
Miscellaneous inventories maintained by the City will be recognized as expenditures at the time
of consumption rather than at the time of purchase. All items and services received prior to year-
end will be recognized during that fiscal year as expenditures.
Payment to Vendors
In order to decrease costs in processing vendor payments, the City will require payments to vendors
through ACH or automatic credit to the vendor’s checking or savings account. By utilizing ACH,
the City can reduce the cost for check stock, avoid the need and costs to reissue lost checks, reduce
stop payment fees for lost checks and decrease staff time in the task of bank reconciliation.
Payroll Costs and Compensated Absences
All payroll costs will be based on Council approved salary ordinances, union contracts, and
personnel policies. It is the policy of the City to permit employees to accumulate earned but unused
vacation and sick leave benefits. Those benefits expected to be liquidated with expendable
available financial resources of the governmental funds are reported as expenditures and a fund
liability of the fund that will pay it. Amounts not expected to be liquidated with expendable
available financial resources are reported in the government-wide GASB 34 Fund. Proprietary
funds recognize the expense when the benefits vest and are accrued.
Capital Asset Expenditures/Expenses
All capital asset purchases by governmental funds are accounted for and budgeted as expenditures
at the time of their acquisition. Proprietary fund acquisitions are capitalized with depreciation
used as the tool to recognize the related expense. All attempts will be made to fund the purchase
and maintenance of capital assets with current revenues. Depreciation will be used as a tool to
estimate replacement needs for current and future fiscal years. Operating and capital leases and
other miscellaneous financing opportunities will be addressed at the time of purchase to ensure the
assets are acquired using the most cost-effective method.
Contingency
In order to protect the services provided by the City; a contingency in an amount designated by
City Council will be built into the operating budget. This amount is budgeted for purpose of
providing for non-recurring unanticipated expenditures. During the budget process,
Administration will recommend a budget amount, at the minimum, of one percent of the budgeted
revenue amount. Every attempt will be made to keep the contingency to a minimum. This amount
is independent of the fund balance reserve amounts and will not be used as such.
Administrative Fee Policy
Enterprise and Internal Service Funds are required, by GAAP, to be self-supporting. The City uses
personnel paid for in the General Fund to assist in the administration of the Enterprise Fund
activities. Because the General Fund provides this assistance, an administrative fee is charged to
the fund to cover these costs. The purpose of the fee is to ensure the funds are self-supporting.
The fee will be calculated to reflect a percentage of indirect/direct costs associated in the General
Fund. The calculation will be based on the most recent full year completed during the budget
process. The indirect/direct cost approach was initially utilized in fiscal year 2012 to determine
the administrative fee from the Water Fund to the General Fund. The indirect/direct cost approach
Page 8 of 23
Approved November 16, 2020December 20, 2021
was initially utilized in fiscal year 2013 to determine the administrative fee to the General Fund
for the Refuse Fund. Administrative fees are considered a quasi-external transaction for
accounting purposes meaning that the transactions are treated as revenues and expenditures if they
would have involved organizations external to the government unit and not as transfers.
Contributions to External Agencies
In order to benefit the community and its residents and visitors, the City Council may approve an
expenditure to contribute funds and/or resources to an external agency in order to allow that agency
to accomplish its goal and/or mission. If an expenditure is approved, prior to releasing the funds
and/or resources to the external agency, the agency must provide in writing how the
funds/resources will be utilized by the agency. This will allow the City to record the community
benefit offered to the community by the agency with the assistance of funds/resources received by
the City.
If an external agency is approved to receive funding by the City, the following requirements will
need to be addressed by the external agency:
1. Submit an invoice for payment requesting the amount awarded to the agency and a due
date which serves as an invoice for audit purposes.
2. Complete
a. A W-9 Form
b. An External Agency Agreement
3. Submit the invoice, W-9, and External Agency Agreement to the City of Galesburg
Administration Office.
4. Include the City of Galesburg, and its logo where possible, as a sponsor on any advertising
or promotional items for the event.
BALANCE SHEET POLICIES
Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 54
In February 2009, the GASB issued statement number 54, Fund Balance Reporting and
Governmental Fund Type Definitions, which requires the City to make certain decision regarding
the use of resources and classifications of ending fund balance in order for the annual financial
reports (audits) to be in compliance with generally acceptable accounting principles (GAAP).
Fiscal year 2011 was the first year the City was required to and implemented GASB 54. The intent
of GASB 54 is to improve the usefulness of the amounts reported in ending fund balances on the
year-end financial reports by providing clearer fund balance classifications that can be more
consistently applied and by clarifying the existing government fund type definitions.
With GASB 54, a hierarchy of fund balance classifications has been created. These classifications
are based primarily on the extent to which governments are bound by the constraints placed on
resources reported in those funds. This approach is intended to provide users more consistent and
understandable information about a fund’s new resources. Previously, the city reported fund
balances that were reserved, designated or unreserved. With the implementation of GASB 54,
there are five categories required for ending fund balances:
Page 9 of 23
Approved November 16, 2020December 20, 2021
Nonspendable Fund Balance
• Amounts that cannot be spent due to form that are in either short term or longer term;
for example, inventories and prepaid amounts. Also, long-term loan and notes
receivables, and property held for resale would be reported here unless the proceeds
are restricted, committed or assigned.
• Amounts that must be maintained intact legally or contractually such as principal of a
permanent fund.
Restricted Fund Balance The restricted fund balance category includes amounts that can be spent
only for the specific purposes stipulated by constitution, external resource providers, or through
enabling legislation.
• The portion of a Governmental Fund’s fund balance that is subject to external enforceable
legal purpose restrictions as to what the fund balance can be spent on.
Committed Fund Balance The committed fund balance classification includes amounts that can be
used only for the specific purposes determined by a formal action of the government’s highest
level of decision-making authority.
• Action would be required by the same group to remove or change the constraints placed
on the resources.
• Action to constrain the resources must occur prior to yearend; however, the amount can
be determined in the subsequent period.
Assigned Fund Balance Amounts in the assigned fund balance classification are intended to be
used by the government for specific purposes but do not meet the criteria to be classified as
restricted or committed. In governmental funds other than the general fund, assigned fund balance
represents the remaining amount that is not restricted or committed.
• The portion of a Governmental Fund’s balance to denote management’s intended use
of resources
• For all governmental funds other than the general fund, any remaining positive amounts
not classified as nonspendable, restricted or committed.
• For the general fund, amounts constrained for the intent to be used for a specific
purpose by a governing board or body or official that has been delegated authority to
assign amounts. Amount reported as assigned should not result in a deficit in
unassigned fund balance.
Unassigned Fund Balance Unassigned fund balance is the residual classification for the
government’s general fund and includes all spendable amounts not contained in the other
classifications. Governments are required to disclose information about the processes through
which constraints are imposed on amounts in the committed and assigned classifications
• Available expendable financial resources in a governmental fund that are not the object
of a tentative management plan (i.e., assigned).
• For the general fund, amounts not classified as nonspendable, restricted, committed or
assigned. The general fund is the only fund that would report a positive amount in
unassigned fund balance.
Page 10 of 23
Approved November 16, 2020December 20, 2021
• For all governmental funds other than the general fund, amount expended in excess of
resources that are nonspendable, restricted, committed or assigned (a residual deficit).
In determining a residual deficit, no amount should be reported as assigned. Positive
unassigned fund balance can only be reported in the General Fund.
Note: In non-governmental funds (e.g., water fund); management may decide to “assign” funds
for a specific purpose. This will be done as an internal budgeting procedure rather than as a formal
accounting entry.
Order of Spending of Funds
The City will spend the most restricted dollars before less restricted, in the following order:
Restricted
Committed
Assigned
Unassigned
The Director of Finance and Information Systems will determine if a portion of fund balance
should be assigned.
General Fund and Park & Recreation Fund Balance Policy
To maintain the City’s ability to provide services during emergencies and unexpected declines in
the economy, the City will maintain a General Fund fund balance of 16 weeks, or approximately
30 percent of operating expenses. In 2015, the special revenue fund, Parks and Recreation, was
established to record revenues and expenditures for City recreation and park sites. After the initial
transfer of funds from the General Fund to the Park and Recreation Fund, the Park and Recreation
Fund must maintain, at a minimum, 3 weeks or 5 percent of operating expenditures of the divisions
within the fund. The fund balance shall be exclusive of all other reserves and contingencies and
shall be reported as unassigned.
The use of these funds shall be limited to emergencies and unexpected declines in the economy.
The use of fund balance to cover unexpected declines in the economy will be temporary pending
identification of new revenue sources or a reduction of services. Should the balance fall below the
minimum fund balance level, a plan will be submitted to City Council for building the fund balance
to the appropriate level. Such a plan would include the time frame needed to replenish the fund
balance.
The Director of Finance and Information Systems, upon approval by the City Manager, shall
annually transfer any General Fund unreserved balance in excess of the required reserve to the
Planning Fund which was established in fiscal year 2007. The Planning Fund balance shall be
held and utilized for future needs of the City, including capital improvements, economic
development; long-range planning or one-time expenditures that do not increase the City’s
operating expenses.
Debt Service – Assigning Fund Balance
Page 11 of 23
Approved November 16, 2020December 20, 2021
It is also the policy of the City to assign a portion of Fund Balance in the amount of debt service
payments for revenue bonds and/or for general obligation alternate revenue source for
governmental debt for the following year. These funds may be assigned in the General Fund,
Economic Development Fund or the debt service fund in which the debt will be paid from in the
following year.
Water Fund – Operating Cash and Investment Policy
This policy shall apply to the City’s Water Fund. The policy shall address the minimum amount
of operating cash and investment which shall be set aside for operations. The minimum operating
cash and investments shall be 30 percent of the current annual budgeted expenses for the Water
Fund.
Cash Reserve
The average amount of expenditures over a 12-month period will be computed annually. At a
minimum, 1/12 of the amount will be held as liquid cash through the use of IL Funds or other
short-term investments as deemed appropriate. All other cash shall be invested using a sound cash
management policy and in accordance with the Council approved investment policy.
Investments
The City shall invest all idle cash 100 percent of the time in accordance with the Council approved
investment policy. In accordance with GASB, all investments will be reported at fair value. Short-
term investments are reported at cost, which approximates fair value. Securities traded on a
national or international exchange are valued at the last reported sales price at current exchange
rates. Mortgages are valued on the basis of future principal and interest payments and are
discounted at prevailing interest rates for similar instruments. Investments that do not have an
established market are reported at estimated fair value.
Inventories
Inventories are valued at cost using the first in first out (FIFO) method. The costs of governmental
fund type inventories are recorded as expenditures when consumed rather than when purchased.
Capital Assets
Capital assets, which include property, plant, equipment and infrastructure assets (e.g., roads,
bridges, sidewalks and similar items), are reported in the applicable governmental or business-type
columns in the government-wide financial statements. Capital assets are defined by the City as
assets with an initial, individual cost in excess of the following and an estimated useful life in
excess of five years.

Capital assets purchased by governmental funds are accounted for as expenditures of the funds at
the time of their acquisition and are then capitalized at cost in the government-wide financial
statements. Donated assets in the governmental and enterprise funds are capitalized at the
estimated fair value at the date of the donation. Depreciation is computed by the straight-line
method over the estimated useful lives of the respective government and enterprise fund assets.
Sales of capital assets are recognized as revenue at the time of the sale. Interest costs incurred
before the end of a construction period of a capital asset will not be capitalized and will be
recognized as an expenditure or expense in the period in which the cost is incurred. Infrastructure
assets are capitalized in the government-wide financial statements. The cost of normal
maintenance and repairs, including street overlays, that do not add to the value of the asset or
materially extend the assets’ lives are not capitalized.
The estimated useful lives of each fixed asset types are as follows:
Description Years
Land Improvements 10-50
Buildings & Improvements 8-50
Machinery & Equipment 3-30
Streets & Roads 20-40
Brick Streets 50

See Capital Improvement Policies for further information relating to property and equipment.
Due To/Due From
Due to/Due from: A separate due to and due from account will be maintained where necessary.
The balances of these accounts will be addressed on a consistent basis with the balances paid off
where appropriate.
BUDGET POLICIES
The City’s annual budget is adopted on a basis consistent with generally accepted accounting
principles for all governmental funds. All appropriations lapse at fiscal yearend.
Page 13 of 23
Approved November 16, 2020December 20, 2021
Development of the annual budget begins in April and follows the municipal budget system as
defined by State Statutes. The municipal budget system is a well-rounded comprehensive
approach to budgeting. The State Statutes require the budget to be completed in a financially
sound manner and in conformity with a chart of accounts. The budget is prepared by fund,
function, department and division. For example, fund (General); function (public safety);
department (police); division (communications and records).
A one-year balanced budget is prepared annually and formally adopted by City Council. The
budget process includes an update of capital improvement plans, an update of the City’s financial
policies, strategic planning sessions and public hearings.
Department Heads manage their departmental budgets on a division level and in a fiscally
responsible manner. During the financial and annual audit review of the financial reports for the
divisions, the review is at the division level budget as a whole and not at the account number or line
item level of the division budget. Budget to actual performance is reviewed and measured at both
the department and division level by the Director of Finance. When a division is over budget as a
whole, City Council will approve all needed budget adjustments for the specific division.
Encumbrance accounting is employed in all funds. Encumbrances at year-end are closed and
where necessary presented to City Council during the subsequent budget year as a budget
adjustment.
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT POLICIES
Capital improvement plans shall be updated annually and incorporated into the budget. The capital
improvement plans are planning documents and do not authorize or fund projects.
Capital projects will be prioritized according to the following guidelines:
1. The extent to which the project addresses a health or safety need.
2. The extent to which the project accomplishes essential preventative maintenance.
3. The extent to which the project utilizes matching funds.
4. The extent to which the project achieves a beneficial cost/benefit ratio.
5. The extent to which the project enhances development opportunities.
6. The extent to which the project addresses a critical community recreational need.
Replacement of capital outlay items shall be timed at fairly stable intervals so as not to spend
excessively in one year and restrictively in the next.
Standards of maintenance to adequately protect the City’s capital investments shall be developed
and periodically updated. The annual budget will be prepared to meet established maintenance
schedules.
VEHICLE REPLACEMENT PROGRAM
Page 14 of 23
Approved November 16, 2020December 20, 2021
The purpose of the Vehicle Replacement Program is to plan for and provide the means for the
replacement of all City owned vehicles and equipment.
Contributions
Those departments and divisions who use the vehicles and equipment included in the Vehicle
Replacement Fund will make contributions.
Contributions will be calculated during the budget season by the Finance Department staff. The
contribution amounts will be communicated to Department Heads for inclusion in their budget
requests.
Contributions will be calculated using a straight-line method based on the remaining estimated
useful life of the fleet and the estimated replacement cost of the fleet.
Interest Allocations
Interest earned in the Vehicle Replacement Program will be allocated at the end of each fiscal year
based on the division’s cumulative contributions.
Estimated Useful Lives
The estimated useful lives used for equipment and vehicles will be standardized where appropriate.
Estimated useful lives may be increased if the equipment continues to be reliable and cost effective
to own or decreased if the cost of maintaining the equipment becomes prohibitive. These changes
should be requested in the form of a recommendation to the Director of Finance based on the
expertise of the Garage Superintendent and the approval of the Department Head responsible for
the equipment or vehicle. Changes to the useful lives on the specific equipment will be noted
during the budget process.
Estimated Replacement Costs

FEDERAL FUNDING – OMB UNIFORM GUIDANCE
Implementation of OMB Uniform Guidance
In December 2013, the US Office of Management and Budget (OMB) issued comprehensive grant
reform rules titled “Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit
Requirements for Federal Awards.” With the issuance, important updates were made to specific
areas of Uniform Guidance. Procurement is one of the areas that had significant changes. All 2016
and later single audits will be performed only under the Uniform Guidance requirements.
OMB Uniform Guidance Documentation
The Purchasing Agent will have documented procurement procedures that will reflect federal law,
Uniform Guidance standards and any state regulations. The department receiving federal funds
Page 20 of 23
Approved November 16, 2020December 20, 2021
will follow the procurement steps and activities required to be completed when using federal funds
with the oversight of the Purchasing Agent. The procurement steps will be documented and all
documentation applicable to the procurement and to following the procurement steps shall be
provided to the Purchasing Agent. This includes requests for federal funding, correspondence for
notice of award and formal agreements. The Purchasing Agent will work with the department in
determining the basis for the type of procurement, contract type, and the basis for the contractor
selection and price.
Use of Federal Funds and Oversight of Federal Funding Projects
The City department and divisions will focus on the most economical solution during the
procurement process and must avoid using federal funds for the acquisition of unnecessary items.
The departments and divisions are encouraged to consider the use of shared services and
intergovernmental agreements to foster greater economy and efficiency. The division or
department that is the recipient of the federal awards must maintain an appropriate level of
oversight to ensure that contractors perform in accordance with the terms of their contract. The
City departments and divisions should work closely with the Purchasing Agent to ensure
compliance is met.
PENSION POLICIES
In 2012, The GASB approved two standards that substantially improves the accounting and
financial report of public employee pensions by state and local governments. Statement No. 67,
Financial Reporting for Pension Plans, revised and established new financial reporting
requirements for most governments that provide their employees with pension benefits.
The new standards improved the way state and local governments report their pension liabilities
and expenses, resulting in a more faithful representation of the full impact of these obligations.
Other improvements include net pension liabilities will be reported on the balance sheet, providing
citizens and other users of financial reports with a clearer picture of the size and nature of the
financial obligations to current and former employees for past services rendered.
Pension plans are distinguished for financial reporting purposes in two ways. First, plans are
classified by whether the income or other benefits that the employee will receive at or after
separation from employment are defined by the benefit terms (a defined benefit plan) or whether
the pensions an employee will receive will depend only on the contributions to the employee’s
account, actual earnings on investments of those contributions, and other factors (a defined
contribution plan).
In addition, defined benefit plans are classified based on the number of governments participating
in a particular pension plan and whether assets and obligations are shared among the participating
governments. Categories include plans where only one employer participates (single employer);
plans in which assets are pooled for investment purposes, but each employer’s share of the pooled
assets is legally available to pay the benefits of only its employees (agent employer); and plans in
which participating employers pool or share obligations to provide pensions to their employees
Page 21 of 23
Approved November 16, 2020December 20, 2021
and plan assets can be used to pay the benefits of employees of any participating employer (cost-
sharing employer).
Pension Funding Policies
The City should have a pension funding policy that is based upon an actuarially determined annual
required contribution (ARC), and that meets the following five policy objectives in an integrated
way. The City will need to strike a balance between competing objectives and determine the most
appropriate time frame in which to meet its goals.
• Actuarially Determined Contributions. A pension funding plan should be based
upon an actuarially determined annual required contribution (ARC) that incorporates
both the cost of benefits in the current year and the amortization of the plan’s unfunded
actuarial accrued liability. State statute requires that the City’s Police and Fire pension
funds to be fully funded by 2033. In order to achieve this level of funding by the desired
date, the City will commit to funding the pension funds, at a minimum, at or between
the State actuarial level and the actuarial firm’s recommended amount.
• Funding Discipline. The City will make a commitment to make timely, actuarially
determined contributions to the retirement system to ensure that sufficient assets are
available for all current and future retirees. Unless another source of funding is
available, funding will be derived from the property tax levy specifically dedicated for
the purpose of funding the pensions. When the designated property tax or, if applicable,
another other source of revenue is received by the City, the funds will be transferred in
a timely manner to the corresponding pension funds.
• Intergenerational equity. Annual contributions should be reasonably related to the
expected and actual cost of each year of service so that the cost of employee benefits is
paid by the generation of taxpayers who receives services from those employees.
• Contributions as a stable percentage of payroll. Contributions should be managed
so that the City’s costs remain consistent as a percentage of payroll over time.
• Accountability and transparency. Clear reporting of pension funding should include
an assessment of whether, how, and when the plan sponsor will ensure sufficient assets
are available for all current and future retirees.
RISK MANAGEMENT POLICIES
The City is exposed to various risks related to torts, theft of, damage to and destruction of assets;
errors and omissions; and natural disasters for which the City is self-insured and carries
supplemental commercial insurance. To provide essential and effective protection against
catastrophic loss, tThe City maintains anone internal service fund, the Risk Management Fund, for
self-insurance.
Benefit Policy on Military Duty
Page 22 of 23
Approved November 16, 2020December 20, 2021
Federal and State laws require the City to continue to provide health insurance coverage to an
employee for the duration of his active military service under the same terms and conditions as
applied while an active employee of the City.
Risk Management Fund
The Risk Management Fund will account for general liability, property, worker’s compensation
insurance, and unemployment claims. Each year, an analysis will be completed by the City
Attorney/Administrative Services Director regarding the status of the self-insurance plansfunds
and fees charged to participating divisions. The City will strive to accumulate retained earnings to
serve as a reserve base on recommendations made by the City Attorney/Administrative Services
Director or third-party administrators. This amount will be computed during the annual budget
process. A reserve of retained earnings is deemed necessary to protect the City from catastrophic
events. A contingent liability will be recognized and maintained on the books for claims incurred
but not paid. The liability will be based on past claim history and information provided by the City
Attorney/Administrative Services Director or third-party administrators.
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT FUND
On March 3, 2003, the City Council approved to increase the Home Rule Municipal Retailers
Occupation Tax and the Home Rule Municipal Service Occupation Tax (together commonly
referred to as the sales tax), from three-quarter percent (.75%) to one percent (1.00%), in order to
provide funding for the purpose of promoting economic development.
The funds derived from the one-quarter percent (.25%) increase in the city sales tax will be used
for purposes of promoting economic development within the city of Galesburg and in areas in
close proximity to the city of Galesburg, including, but not limited to the payment of debt service
on the general obligation bonds issued for the Galesburg Business Park located between the city
of Galesburg and the city of Knoxville. Given the direction of Council to utilize the one-quarter
percent sales tax for payment of the Series 2011C general obligation bonds, the Economic
Development Fund will have on reserve the value of one year’s debt payment to ensure sufficient
funds will be available when needed for the following year principal and interest bond payments.
GASB 34
In June 1999, the GASB issued GASB 34 – Basic Financial Statements and Management’s
Discussion and Analysis for State and Local Governments. This project significantly changed
the accounting and financial reporting for the City of Galesburg.
The most significant changes included in GASB 34 are:
• Government-wide reporting – In addition to reporting at the fund level, the City is required
to consolidate the financial information for the City as a whole and present City-wide
financial statements. This type of consolidation is required for private entity financial
reporting and includes booking depreciation and eliminating entries for internal type
Page 23 of 23
Approved November 16, 2020December 20, 2021
transactions. This change in effect requires closing the books twice using two different
basis’ of accounting.
• Infrastructure reporting – All capital assets, including general infrastructure assets, is
capitalized in the financial statements at their historical cost or estimated historical cost.
This rule applied retroactively to assets that were acquired in fiscal years beginning after
June 15, 1980. In addition to recording all capital assets, the City is required to record
depreciation on all capital assets subject to depreciation including infrastructure assets.
• Major Fund focus – In the past, reporting at fund level was completed based on the type of
fund (governmental, enterprise, agency). GASB 34 requires entities to report major funds
rather than by fund type. Those funds that do not qualify as major are consolidated and
presented as “others”. This significantly affects how budgetary information is presented
in the financial statements.
• New focus for governmental activities – Traditionally, the focus was on changes in current
spendable resources; the new entity wide statements focuses on changes in total resources
or net assets. Net Assets is the new term for Fund Balance at the entity-wide level. The
accounting equation used to be Assets = Liability + Equity. The new equation is Assets –
Liabilities = Net Assets.
• Management’s Discussion & Analysis (MD&A) – GASB 34 requires each organization to
provide a narrative that gives an overview and addresses and analyzes the financial
activities of the City. This area of the report is considered “required supplementary
information” but not included within the scope of the audit.
• Fiduciary Fund Changes – These changes included limitations on the use of the fund type,
elimination of Expendable Trust Funds and creation of Permanent Funds.
• Elimination of contributed capital amounts and account groups at the government-wide
level.
• Cash Flow Statement Reporting – GASB 34 requires the direct method of reporting cash
flows. Historically governments have used the indirect method, which is a reconciliation
of changes in balance sheet account amounts. The direct method on the other hand,
reconciles net income to cash.
The required implementation date was dependent upon the dollar amount received in revenues
during a specific time frame. The City of Galesburg is a tier 2 municipality and therefore was
required to implement GASB 34 by fiscal year ending 3/31/2004. Administration implemented the
new GASB one year early or fiscal year ending 3/31/2003. Administration took a proactive
approach to implementing GASB 34 and completed the implementation in-house rather than using
consultants and other third parties.

COUNCIL LETTER
CITY OF GALESBURG, ILLINOIS
DECEMBER 6, 2021
AGENDA ITEM: Special Ordinance to approve the 2021 levy for the Special Service Area
#1 (Downtown Area).
SUMMARY RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended the City Council approve the Special
Service Area Tax Levy Ordinance.
BACKGROUND: On January 20, 1975, the City Council approved Special Ordinance No.
75-4 which created, from the Special Service Area #1, a flat rate of $1 per $100 equalized
assessed value. Money generated from this levy is utilized to pay maintenance services in the
downtown area.
On May 2, 1992, the Downtown Council requested that at the time their levy for bond repayment
expired, a new tax replace it in the amount of $1.50 per $100 of equalized assessed value to
assist in covering operational expenses. Their request was approved and in 1995 the Downtown
Council began receiving the new tax. The ordinance for the property tax stated that the tax shall
not be levied for more than 10 years.
On November 18, 2013, the City Council approved a ten-year extension of the $1.50 tax for the
Special Service Area tax commencing on the 2014 property tax levy (payable in 2015). The tax
levy must be approved in time to be filed with the Knox County Clerk by the last Tuesday in
December 2021.
For the 2021 property tax, collected in 2022, the Special Service Area Number One board has
requested that the City Council approve an extension that is over 105% of the 2020 property tax
extension which will require a truth in taxation hearing to be held prior to the regular council
meeting on December 6, 2021. The total increase for the Special Service Area Number One is
$43,275 or 32% when compared to the 2020 property tax extension. The following provides the
comparison of tax extensions:
Tax Line Item 2020 Tax Extension 2021 Tax Request Difference
Maintenance $54,290 $72,000 $17,710
Operations & Maintenance $81,435 $107,000 $25,565
Total $135,725 $179,000 $43,275
BUDGET IMPACT: The City uses replacement taxes to make up the difference between the
amount received from the levy and the contract amount.

COUNCIL LETTER
CITY OF GALESBURG
DECEMBER 6, 2021
AGENDA ITEM: Ordinance for proposed ward and precinct redistricting map.
SUMMARY RECOMMENDATION: The Board of Election Commissioners recommends
approval of the ordinance.
BACKGROUND:
The Board of Election Commissioners is required to change the boundaries of election precincts
after each ten-year census following the completion of congressional and legislative redistricting
and such precincts shall contain as nearly as practicable 1,200 registered voters. (As for wards,
the action of the Commissioners is only a recommendation since the Council has the statutory
obligation to redistrict wards.) The legislative, congressional and county board district
boundaries have been finalized.
Therefore, the Board of Election Commissioners is proposing to rebalance the wards and
precincts to correct for imbalances that have naturally occurred as residents and voters have
moved in and out of wards and precincts over the past decade. The Board also proposes a
reduction in precincts from 21 to 20 to more closely align the city with state standards.
BUDGET IMPACT: A $1,500 reduction in election judge payroll expenses during even
numbered years and a $750 reduction during odd numbered years.
SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS:
1.Election statutes
2.Ordinance
3.Proposed redistricting map
4.Proposed ward changes from current boundaries map
5.Frequently Asked Questions
21-1041
The Election Code of Illinois Annotated
(10 ILCS 5/11-3) (from Ch. 46, par. 11-3)
Sec. 11-3. It shall be the duty of the Board of Commissioners established by Article 6 of this
Act, within 2 months after its first organization, to divide the city, village or incorporated town
which may adopt or is operating under Article 6, into election precincts, each of which shall be
situated within a single congressional, legislative and representative district insofar as is
practicable and in not more than one County Board district and one municipal ward; in order to
situate each precinct within a single district or ward, the Board of Election Commissioners shall
change the boundaries of election precincts after each decennial census as soon as is practicable
following the completion of congressional and legislative redistricting and such precincts shall
contain as nearly as practicable: (i) 1,200 qualified voters if the precinct is located in a county
with fewer than 3,000,000 inhabitants; or (ii) 1,800 registered voters if the precinct is located in a
county with 3,000,000 or more inhabitants. Within 90 days after each presidential election, such
board in a city with fewer than 500,000 inhabitants, village or incorporated town shall revise and
rearrange such precincts on the basis of the votes cast at such election, making such precincts to
contain, as near as practicable, 1,200 registered voters or 1,800 registered voters, as applicable.
However, any apartment building in which more than 1,200 or 1,800 registered voters, as
applicable, reside may be made a single precinct even though the vote in such precinct exceeds
1,200 or 1,800 registered voters, as applicable. Within 90 days after each presidential election, a
board in a city with more than 500,000 inhabitants shall revise and rearrange such precincts on
the basis of the votes cast at such election, making such precincts to contain, as near as
practicable: (i) 1,200 registered voters if the precinct is located in a county with fewer than
3,000,000 inhabitants; or (ii) 1,800 registered voters if the precinct is located in a county with
3,000,000 or more inhabitants. However, any apartment building in which more than 1,200
registered voters or 1,800 registered voters, as applicable, reside may be made a single precinct
even though the vote in such precinct exceeds 1,200 or 1,800 registered voters, as applicable.
ORDINANCE NO________
WHEREAS, the Galesburg Board of Election Commissioners have proposed new ward
and precinct lines for the City of Galesburg in conformity with the Illinois Election law; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has reviewed said new ward and precinct lines, and finds
that the population of each new ward, as proposed, is nearly equal, and said wards are made up of
as compact and contiguous territory as practicable, and said precincts are arranged in such a
manner as to be practical and cost-effective to administer;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF GALESBURG, KNOX COUNTY, ILLINOIS,
SECTION ONE: The ward and precinct lines for the City of Galesburg, Knox County,
Illinois, be, and hereby are, redrawn and established as shown on the attached map.
SECTION TWO: Said map shall be, and hereby is, adopted by reference and hereby
made part of this ordinance.
SECTION THREE: That all ordinances or parts of ordinances in conflict herewith are,
to the extent of such conflict, hereby repealed.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Galesburg Board of Election Commissioners
Have legislative and congressional boundary lines been set by the state?
Governor Pritzker signed both redistricting maps on November 15, 2021. The County Board District lines
were finalized on October 28, 2021.
Does each alderperson reside in the same ward as they have in the past?
Yes. Each current alderperson resides in the same ward as they have in the past.
What are wards based on?
State statutes require that wards be based on population, not voters. This is in line with the federal
requirement of one person/one vote. Each alderperson represents every person in his or her ward whether
they choose to register to vote and vote or not. Each alderperson represents people who can’t vote, such as
minors. City Council has the statutory duty for wards as nearly equal, compact and contiguous territory,
as practicable.
What are the current and proposed ward populations?
Current Proposed
Ward 1 4,203 4,079
Ward 2 4,162 4,072
Ward 3 4,167 4,092
Ward 4 3,822 4,092
Ward 5 3,582 4,029
Ward 6 4,233 4,059
Ward 7 4,294 4,040
Total 28,463 28,463
What are the precincts based on?
State statutes require that precincts are based on registered voters rather than population because one
person/one vote is not an issue in precincts. The Board of Election Election Commissioners has the
statutory duty to arrange the city into election precincts, each of which shall be situated within a single
congressional, legislative and representative district insofar as is practicable and in not more than one
County Board district and one municipal ward; in order to situate each precinct within a single district or
ward after each 10-year census.
What is a “Natural” boundary?
“Natural” refers to “nature”. A railroad track is not a natural boundary, just as a street is not a natural
boundary. For example, Cedar Fork is natural, but there are numerous bridges so it doesn’t pose a
problem.
Is the Henry Hill Correctional Center population included in the proposed ward map?
Henry Hill population is not included in the proposed ward map. This is based on a 1992 case law review.
(Continued on next page)
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (continued)
Are the Knox County Jail and Mary Davis Home populations included in the proposed ward map?
Our General Counsel has advised us to include them. Both facilities have pre-detainees.
Is there a deadline?
The 2022 Primary Election candidates can begin circulating signature petitions on January 14, 2022. This
includes candidates for Congress and Governor. The political parties and candidates will need voter
walklists. Walklists can only be provided after redistricting is finalized and the election office has time to
administer the changes to the local voter database. If ward and precinct redistricting is finalized at the
December 20, 2021 City Council meeting, it is expected that the Galesburg Board of Elections will have
enough time to update the local voter database so walklists can be available to candidates by January 14,
2022. Otherwise, candidate contact information will be taken and candidates will be contacted as soon as
the walkists become available.

CITY OF GALESBURG
COUNCIL LETTER
DECEMBER 20, 2021
AGENDA ITEM: Resolution authorizing the acquisition of permanent easements for the South
Street Storm Sewer Replacement Project.
SUMMARY RECOMMENDATION: The City Manager, Director of Public Works, and City
Engineer recommend approval of the resolution.
BACKGROUND: The scope of the project is to replace a section of deteriorated and failing brick
storm sewer across South Street between Academy Street and Holton Street. The project will
include replacement of approximately 550 feet of 54” brick sewer with new 60” concrete storm
sewer. The existing sewer runs near and underneath structures and houses and the new sewer will
be realigned to a location with more separation from existing structures in the area. The bid
documents are complete, and the city is currently in the process of acquiring the permanent
easements needed for the project. City staff has met with all the owners and offered the appraised
values to all the owners. Some of the property owners felt their specific easement had a bigger
impact on their property value than the appraised value. City staff worked with the property owners
and came to an agreement with all the property owners on the value of the seven easements as
shown in the table below.
Address Appraised Value Settled Value
588 W. Tompkins Street $500 $500
544 W. Tompkins Street $500 $500
523 W. South Street $500 $500
545 W. South Street $500 $2,250
535 W. South Street $500 $2,250
505 W. South Street $1,800 $3,500
518 W. South Street $1,500 $1,500
Total $5,800 $11,000
Given the need for the project, the location and size of the easement, and the alternative cost for
eminent domain proceedings, City staff determined that the proposed settled values are reasonable,
and approval is recommended. The compensation amounts are for the permanent easements to the
City but there were also temporary easements needed for the construction which are being donated
by the property owners at no additional cost to the City.
BUDGET IMPACT: The cost for the 7 permanent easements of $11,000 will be paid from the
City’s Storm Sewer Fund (Fund 18). This is a planned and budgeted project for 2021.

RESOLUTION NO.____________
A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE ACQUISITION OF PERMANENT

WHEREAS, It is necessary to acquire permanent easements to replace and reconstruct
the existing 54 inch brick arch storm sewer; and
WHEREAS, The City of Galesburg hired a certified real estate appraiser to determine
the fair market value of the required permanent easements; and

NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Mayor and Council of the City of
Galesburg as follows:
SECTION 1 The Mayor, City Clerk, City Attorney, and City Engineer are hereby
authorized and directed to acquire the following permanent easements for the South Street Storm

DECEMBER 20, 2021
AGENDA ITEM: Bids for supplying traffic signal LED modules
SUMMARY RECOMMENDATION: The City Manager, Director of Public Works, City
Engineer, and Purchasing Agent recommend approval of the bid in the amount of $63,377.00 from
MoboTrex, Inc.
BACKGROUND: In 2012, City staff replaced all of the LED modules on the traffic signals
within the City. At the time of installation, LED modules came with a 5-year warranty and the
life expectancy of the LED modules was seven years. The current LED modules have performed
well and have exceeded their life expectancy. However, the LED modules lose their intensity and
burn out over time and therefore need to be replaced. LED technology has improved, and some
manufacturers now provide an LED module that is designed to perform for 15 years and comes
with a 15-year warranty. The City’s bid specifications required vendors to provide a 15-year
performance and warranty LED module.
A bid request was formed and advertised in the Galesburg Register Mail, placed on the City
website, and sent to vendors that provide LED modules. A total of four vendors responded to this
bid request. A detailed tabulation is attached to this document. The low bid that also met the
required specifications was submitted by Mobotrex, Inc. in the amount of $63,377.00. General
Traffic Equipment Corp. provided a lower bid in the amount of $59,942.75. However, after a
review of their proposed product and a discussion with the product manufacturer, it was
determined that the LED module did not meet the required bid specifications. A 15-year warranty
was provided, but the product was not designed to perform for 15 years as was specified.
Therefore, staff recommends approval of the next lowest bid submitted by Mobotrex, Inc. It will
take approximately 60-90 days to receive the materials. City forces will begin replacement of the
LED modules early next Spring.
BUDGET IMPACT: There are sufficient funds budgeted in the Building Repair and
Maintenance Fund (Fund 053) for this purchase.

TRAFFIC ADVISORY COMMITTEE
DECEMBER 2021 REPORT
MISSION: To provide technical recommendations for policy decisions by the City Council in
order to create safe, efficient, serviceable streets for residents, visitors, and public safety
operation
21-35> Request to install a designated handicapped parking space near 121 S. Prairie St. (Ward
4, Ald. White)
• An employee for the Knox County Veterans Assistance Commission at 121 S.
Prairie requested a designated handicapped parking space near the business. The
employee has a handicapped parking placard and said that there is not a designated
handicap parking space nearby.
• The nearest handicap parking space is in the city-owned parking lot on the north side
of Simmons St. between Prairie St. and Kellogg St.
• City ordinance provides for the City Manager to designate handicap parking spaces
when determined they are necessary.
• There are three street parking spaces located directly in front of the building
entrance. Courtesy 2-hour parking signs were installed for the three spaces. There
is an additional on street parking space just south of the building that has not been
designated as 2-hour parking.
• TAC recommends the addition of the handicapped parking spot in an on-street
parking spot directly in front of the building. In consulting with the various tenants
of the business at 121 S. Prairie, a designated handicapped spot directly in front of
the building would be beneficial to both employees and customers. There are
frequently elderly and handicapped customers that visit the offices.

21-36> Request to prohibit vehicles from turning right on red from Broad St. onto Carl Sandburg
Drive . (Ward 1, Ald. Hix)
• A resident requested that turning right on a red light should be prohibited for
motorists traveling northbound on Broad St. and turning right onto Carl Sandburg
Drive at the signalized intersection. The resident stated that they have witnessed
many instances of vehicles not stopping at all and is concerned that there will be
crashes or incidents with pedestrians.
• The MUTCD guidance states that No Turn on Red should be considered if one or
more of the following conditions are met:
1. Inadequate sight distance to vehicles approaching from the left (or right, if
applicable);
2. Geometrics or operational characteristics of the intersection that might result in
unexpected conflicts;
3. An exclusive pedestrian phase;
4. An unacceptable number of pedestrian conflicts with right-turn-on-red
maneuvers, especially involving children, older pedestrians, or persons with
disabilities;
5. More than three right-turn-on-red accidents reported in a 12-month period for
the particular approach; or
6. The skew angle of the intersecting roadways creates difficulty for drivers to see
traffic approaching from their left.
• The committee agreed that none of the warrants were likely met for prohibiting right
turn on red. However, crash data was not available at the time of the meeting,
therefore it should be reviewed before making a final recommendation.

21-37> Request to determine a location for a bus shelter near Aldi supermarket on N. Seminary
St. (Ward 1, Ald. Hix)
• A request was made to have the Traffic Advisory Committee make a
recommendation for the location of a bus shelter near Aldi supermarket on N.
Seminary St. The City currently has an unused shelter that could be installed at this
location.
• The shelter is approximately 7’ wide and would need to be placed within the ROW
on a constructed concrete pad.
• The current bus routes near this location are shown on the attached map.
• The north side of Knox Square Drive has approximately 11 feet of ROW width with
the sidewalk taking up 5 feet. There would be limited space to install a bus shelter
in this area. Midwest Drive to the south has approximately 15 feet of ROW on both
sides with 5 feet of sidewalk.
• The committee recommends placing the bus shelter on the west side of Midwest
Drive. This is the closest location in which the existing bus shelter would fit on the
ROW. Also, this location would be less disruptive to traffic flow when the bus is
stopped for drop off and pick up.

CITY OF GALESBURG
COUNCIL LETTER
DECEMBER 20, 2021
AGENDA ITEM: Agreement with Bruner, Cooper, and Zuck, Inc. to provide Architectural and
Engineering Services for a feasibility study to locate the National Railroad Hall of Fame (NRHOF)
at 465 Mulberry Street.
SUMMARY RECOMMENDATION: The City Manager and Director of Public Works
recommend approval of an agreement with Bruner, Cooper, and Zuck, Inc. to prepare a feasibility
study for the NRHOF in an amount not to exceed $11,000.
BACKGROUND: The NRHOF has requested the city to evaluate the cost for the NRHOF to
occupy one floor in the building located at 465 Mulberry Street as a possible lower cost alternative
to construction of a new building to house the NRHOF due to the high cost of new construction.
The City of Galesburg owns the existing 3 story building located at 465 Mulberry Street and does
not currently have a plan for the building. The proposed plan would be for the NRHOF to occupy
the first floor. In the future, as they grow, they could possibly expand to the 2nd floor of the
building as well. Each floor of the building contains approximately 7,800 s.f. and would have
more than enough space for the NRHOF.
The proposed feasibility study would include the following:
•Develop a floor plan drawing
•Develop a cost estimate which would include window replacement, mechanical, and
electrical components, and any other general improvements needed for the entire building.
•Site improvements including utilities, drainage, parking lot, ADA accessibility to the main
floor, exterior lighting, landscaping, etc.
•Build out for the NRHOF on the main floor
A report will be issued summarizing the cost for the NRHOF to locate into the main floor of this
building. If the cost is substantially less to renovate than new construction, the Foundation Board
may elect to renovate 465 Mulberry rather than to build a new building.
BUDGET IMPACT: The cost of the agreement with Bruner, Cooper, and Zuck, Inc is a not to
exceed $11,000 and would be paid from the Economic Development Fund (24).

added to the total account balance for accounts over 30 days old. The minimum finance charge is $5.00. In the event, any portion of an account remains unpaid 120
days after the billing, BCZ may institute collection action. If BCZ is successful in collection proceedings, the Client agrees to pay the fee due, plus interest, as well as
all costs of collection, and BCZ’s reasonable attorney’s fees. In no case will with Client postpone, withhold or make payment contingent upon the construction,
completion or success of the project or upon receipt by the Client of offsetting reimbursement or credit from other parties, firms, agencies, or individuals.
Indemnifications: The Client shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, indemnify and hold harmless BCZ, its officers, directors, employees, agents and consultants
from and against all damage, liability and cost, including reasonable attorney’s fees and defense costs, arising out of or in any way connected with the performance of
the services under this agreement, excepting only those damages, liabilities or costs attributable to the sole negligence or willful misconduct of BCZ.
Limitation of Liability: It is agreed that BCZ’s liability for this project for negligent acts, errors, or omissions, and all claims, losses, cost, damages, cost of defense,
expenses from any cause, including Client, Contractors, and Attorney fees, is limited to fees collected or $50,000, whichever is greater. In addition, BCZ assumes no
responsibility for the existence, discharge of or exposure to any hazardous, toxic, or infectious materials, and assumes no responsibility for the removal or other services.
Therefore, except in claims arising from the negligent acts and errors of BCZ, the client agrees to hold harmless and indemnify BCZ from all claims or damages arising
from or alleged to arise from such existence, discharge, or exposure.
Information Provided by Others: The Client shall furnish, at the Client’s expense, all information, requirements, reports, data, surveys and instructions required by
this Agreement. BCZ may use such information, requirements, reports, data, surveys and instructions in performing its services and is entitled to rely upon the accuracy
and completeness thereof. BCZ shall not be held responsible for any errors or omissions that may arise as a result of erroneous or incomplete information provided by
the Client and/or the Client’s consultants and contractors.
Certification, Guarantees and Warranties: BCZ shall not be required to execute any document that would result in the Engineer certifying, guaranteeing or warranting
the existence of any conditions. Engineer’s findings, interpretations, opinions, and recommendations are probabilities based on Engineer’s professional judgment of
site conditions as discernible from the limited, and often indirect, information provided by others, information available to Engineer at the time the work was performed,
or information observed or developed by Engineer using the methods specified in the scope of work. Engineer does not warrant the accuracy, completeness, or validity
of information and independent opinions, conclusions, and recommendations provided or developed by others, nor does Engineer assume any responsibility for
documenting or reporting conditions detectable with methods or techniques not specified in the scope of work.
Dispute Resolution: Any claims or disputes between the Client and BCZ arising out of the services to be provided by BCZ or out of this Agreement shall be submitted
to non-binding mediation. The Client and BCZ agree to include a similar mediation agreement with all contractors, sub consultants, subcontractors, suppliers and
fabricators, providing for mediations as the primary method of dispute resolution among all parties. The laws of the State of Illinois will govern the validity of this
Agreement, its interpretation and performance. Any litigation arising in any way from this Agreement shall be brought in the courts of that State.
Means and Methods: BCZ shall not be responsible for, nor have controls over or charge of, construction means, methods, sequence, techniques, or procedures, or
for any health or safety precautions required by any regulatory agencies in connection with the project. In cases where a General Contractor is present on a project,
the Client agrees that the General Contractor will be solely responsible for jobsite safety and warrants that this intent shall be carried out in the Client’s contract with
the general Contractor. The Client also agrees that the Client, BCZ and sub consultants of BCZ will be indemnified by the General Contractor and will be made
additional insureds under the General Contractor’s policies of General Liability Insurance.
Construction Observation: If required under Scope of Services, BCZ shall visit the construction site at intervals appropriate to the stage of construction, or as
otherwise agreed to in writing by the Client and BCZ, in order to observe the progress and quality of the work completed by the Contractor. Such visits and observation
are not intended to be an exhaustive check or detailed inspection of the Contractor’s work but rather to allow BCZ, as an experienced professional firm, to become
generally familiar with the work in progress and to determine, in general, if the project is proceeding in accordance with contract documents. Based upon this
observation, BCZ will inform the Client about the progress of the work and will attempt to guard the Client against obvious non-compliance with project specifications.
When BCZ does not provide construction observation services, it is agreed that the professional services of BCZ do not extend to or include the review or site observation
of the Contractor’s work, performance, or pay request approval. During construction, the Client assumes the role of the Engineer and will hold harmless BCZ for the
Contractor’s performance or the failure of the Contractor’s work to conform to the design intent and the contract documents.
Adjustments, Changes or Additions: It is understood that adjustments, changes, or additions may be necessary during construction. A contingency fund will be
maintained until construction is completed to pay for field changes, adjustments, or increased scope items. All change order amounts requested by Contractors
constructing BCZ-designed systems shall be submitted to BCZ for review prior to being approved by contract holder. BCZ will not approve amounts requested that are
above a normal bid amount for the work involved. In no case, will costs be assessed to BCZ at the discretion of the Contractor, the Client, or the Owner without prior
agreement and approval of BCZ. BCZ shall not be responsible for any cost or expense that provides betterment or upgrades or enhances the value of the Project.
Integrity of Work Products: In the event the Client, the client’s contractors or subcontractors, or anyone for whom the Client is legally liable makes, orders, or permits
to be made any changes to reports, plans, specifications, or construction documents prepared by BCZ without obtaining BCZ’s prior written consent, the Client shall
assume full responsibility for the results of such changes. Therefore, the Client agrees to assume sole responsibility and waive any and all potential claims against
BCZ and to release BCZ from any liability arising directly or indirectly from such changes.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS 2021

If required under Scope of Services, BCZ will compile and deliver to the Client a reproducible set of Record Documents based upon the marked-up drawings, addenda,
change orders and other data furnished by the Contractor. These record Documents will show significant changes made during construction. Because Record
Documents are based upon unverified information provided by other parties, BCZ cannot warrant the accuracy of these changes.
Suspension of Services: If the Client fails to make payments when due or is otherwise in breach of this Agreement, BCZ may terminate this agreement, or suspend
performance of services upon seven (7) calendar day’s notice to the Client. BCZ shall have no liability whatsoever to the Client for any costs or damages as a result
of such suspension caused by the Client’s breach of contract. Upon payment in full by the Client, BCZ shall resume services under this Agreement, and the time
schedule and compensation shall be equitably adjusted to compensate for the period of suspensions plus any other reasonable time and expense necessary for BCZ
to resume performance.
Termination and Acceptance: Either party may terminate this Agreement upon giving the other party not less than seven (7) days calendar notice for any of the
following reasons: a) Substantial failure by the other party to perform in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and through no fault of the terminating party, b)
Assignment of this Agreement or transfer of the project by either party to any entity without the prior written consent of the other party, c) suspension of the project or
BCZ’s services by the Client for more than 90 days, consecutive or in the aggregate, d) material changes in the conditions under which this Agreement was entered
into, the Scope of Services or the nature of the Project, and the failure of the parties to reach agreement on the compensation and schedule required for the performance
of such changes. In the event of termination of this Agreement, the Client will, within fifteen (15) calendar days of termination, pay BCZ for all services rendered plus
reimbursable costs incurred by BCZ up to the date of termination.
Client may accept Engineers’ Proposal either by signature, oral assent, authorizing services, and any of these modes of acceptance shall be deemed to incorporate
this proposal and Terms and Conditions into the contract between the parties thereby formed.
Promotional Items: Project signs displayed at construction sites affected by this Agreement shall include Bruner, Cooper & Zuck, Inc., Civil Engineers and Land
Surveyors. Articles for publication regarding this project shall acknowledge Bruner, Cooper & Zuck, Inc. as the Civil, Architect, Structural Engineer and/or Land Surveyor,

COUNCIL LETTER
CITY OF GALESBURG
DECEMBER 20, 2021
AGENDA ITEM: Approve the purchase of a trailer for the walk behind saw for the Water
Division.
SUMMARY RECOMMENDATION: The City Manager, Director of Public Works, Water
Superintendent, and Purchasing Agent recommend approval of the purchase of an Air-tow trailer
from Rock Line Products Inc. in the amount of $10,605.00. The original request for approval
recommended Webber Rental & Supply Inc. as the low and best bidder. From the time the quotes
were requested in mid-September to the time the purchase was approved by council in mid-
November, the price of the trailer increased by $450.00 for a total of $10,725.00. Reluctantly,
Webber Rental & Supply Inc. was unable to honor the original quoted price of $10,275.00. During
this ever changing economy, price fluctuations and product availability are proving to be
problematic. In order to follow purchasing policy of recommending the low and best bidder for
approval, Rock Line Products Inc. was contacted about the price increase, and their original quote
of $10,605.00 will be honored through the end of 2021.
BACKGROUND:
Due to the replacement of the existing walk behind saw with a larger unit, a new trailer is needed
to transport the saw. The size and weight of the new saw will not allow the saw to be transported
in the back of a truck as it would not be safe to try to load and unload using a tommy lift. That
being the case, trailer specifications were developed for hauling the new unit.
Known vendors were provided the specifications via email for the trailer for the walk behind saw
and two quotes were received and listed below. The low and best quote was supplied by Webber
Rental & Supply. The trailer meets specifications required by the Water Division and will serve
the needs of the City well for hauling the saw.

The Water Division budgeted $15,000.00 in the 2021 budget for a walk behind concrete saw and
trailer. The budgeted amount was based on a similar saw and trailer the Street Division purchased
in 2017. Although quotes for each item were requested separately and each purchase will fall
under the required threshold; the combined total for the trailer and saw exceed the threshold and
require council approval.
BUDGET IMPACT: There are sufficient funds in the Water fund for this planned purchase.
SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS: None
