CITY COUNCIL MEETING
City Manager’s Report
January 21, 2025
CONSENT AGENDA #2025-02
Item 25-2001 MFT Resurfacing
Staff recommend approval of the Motor Fuel Tax Resolution for resurfacing in the amount of
$800,000.00. This project will go out for bid this spring and work will include removal and
replacement of the existing areas of deteriorated asphalt surface, repairs to curb and drainage
inlets, and replacement of sidewalk curb ramps to make them ADA compliant where necessary.
There are sufficient funds budgeted for this work in the 2025 budget from the MFT Fund.
Item 25-4003 Concrete and Asphalt Material Testing
Staff recommend approval of engaging with Bruner Cooper & Zuck Inc. for construction materials
testing during 2025. Material testing and inspection of concrete plants and asphalt plants are a
required aspect of the inspection of public works projects. While City forces do some of the
testing, the City does not have the required testing equipment or training to perform all required
tasks. Bruner Cooper & Zuck submitted quotes for this work, and the city will engage with them
at the listed unit rate, based on the scope of the work being completed. The City Gas Tax 2025
budget includes funds up to $20,000.00 for this work.
Item 25-4004 Special Event Application
Staff recommend approval of the special event application submitted by the Good Note Store for
hosting a vendor show with food and merchandise available for sale at Lake Storey Park.
Item 25-4005 WIRC Membership
Staff recommend approval of membership with the Western Illinois Regional Council (WIRC) for
July 1, 2024 – June 30, 2025, for a total expense of $17,085.00. WIRC is an independent, technical
assistance organization and assists the city in the preparation and administration of Community
Development Block Grants (CDBG) for public infrastructure, economic development, and housing
lead remediation and rehab grants.
Item 25-4006 Release of Sewer Easement for 1922 N. Henderson Street
Staff recommend release of utility easement for 1922 N. Henderson Street. A title search recently
revealed there is a 10-foot easement for sewer that ran under the existing building at 1922 N.
Henderson Street but was previously relocated. The owner has requested the release of the
easement to clear up the discrepancy. The City does not currently have any facilities located in
the utility easement and is agreeable to the release of the utility easement.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Page 2 of 4
Item 25-8001 Bills
Bills and advanced checks are submitted for approval. All purchases are made in accordance with
purchasing policies, with bids over $25,000.00 utilizing the competitive bid process and approved
individually by the City Council.
ORDINANCES AND RESOLUTIONS
Item 25-1000 Telecommunications Tower Site Lease Amendment (First Reading)
Staff recommend approval of an ordinance to provide for an amendment to an existing Site Lease
Agreement. The City currently leases a piece of property in Kiwanis Park to GTP Acquisition
Partners II, LLC, which contains their telecommunications tower. The site lease began in 1999
and is set to expire in 2039. The tower owner has stated it is difficult to attract additional co-
locating antennas with such a short time period left and has requested the lease term be
extended an additional 20 years to July 31, 2059. If the ordinance is approved and a signed
amendment provided by February 15, 2025, the city will receive a one-time payment of
$15,000.00. The City also collects a monthly rent payment for the tower and each co-located
antenna from other telecommunication companies that install their equipment on the tower.
Item 25-1001 Removal of a Class A-1 Liquor License (First Reading)
Staff recommend amending Section 113.043(A) of the Galesburg Municipal Code to remove one
Class A-1 liquor license from the City’s inventory. This amendment would remove the license held
by The Pour House, prior to the business ceasing operations. Any interested parties in the future
can make an application to the Liquor Commissioner and City Council for a Class A-1 license.
Item 25-2002 RAISE Grant Application for the South Street Underpass
Staff recommend approval of resolution of support and commitment of local funds for a
Rebuilding American Infrastructure with Sustainability and Equity (RAISE) Grant Program
application for a project planning study at the South Street railroad underpass. The proposed
application will apply for funding for project planning only. The intent of the project planning
phase is to develop the purpose and need of the project, develop alternatives and conceptual
designs, seek stakeholder and public involvement, study environmental impacts, and develop
cost estimates for alternatives. The potential changes that will be a part of the study include
closing the Mulberry Street crossing and replacing the South Street underpass with a new
underpass that does not have a height restriction. Also, straightening the underpass to be in line
with the current South Street alignment and making changes to the intersection with Seminary
Street, both of which would improve safety. The total estimated cost of the Project Planning
study is $1,683,988.00. If awarded, the RAISE Program would cover 80% of the cost of the study
and the City and BNSF would split the 20% local match, which would equate to $168,399.00 for
the City’s contribution.
Item 25-2003 Authorizing Execution of an Energy Aggregation Agreement
Staff recommend approval of resolution authorizing execution a municipal aggregation
agreement. In 2024, the City of Galesburg retained The Stone River Group LLC as the new energy
broker for municipal aggregation permitting the City to become part of Central Illinois Municipal
Aggregation (CIMA). CIMA was formed by The Stone River Group LLC in 2017 to allow a group of
municipalities to collectively negotiate an agreement at a fixed price for the supply of electricity
for their residents. Due to the daily fluctuation of energy prices, The Stone River Group LLC must
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Page 3 of 4
be able to obtain signatures from all municipalities within CIMA on the same day to successfully
execute a new agreement with the lowest responsible bidder for the supply of electricity for
residential and small commercial retail customers who do not opt out of the municipal
aggregation program. Given the sensitive time frame, City staff are requesting prior authority
from the City Council to allow the City Manager to execute the municipal aggregation agreement
at the time of receipt. The new municipal aggregation agreement for the City of Galesburg will
be in effect once the current agreement expires in July of 2025.
BIDS, PETITIONS AND COMMUNICATIONS
CITY MANAGER’S REPORT
MISCELLANEOUS BUSINESS (Agreements, Approvals, Etc.)
Item 25-4007 Agreement for Fuel Supply and Delivery
Staff recommend approval of a five-year agreement with Herr Petroleum for the supply and
delivery of gasoline and diesel fuels. The City currently has fuel tanks in eight locations, and the
tanks with the highest volume of use are located at Central Garage as most City vehicles replenish
their fuel supply at this location. In addition, there are smaller tanks located at various locations
to fuel equipment or to serve as a fuel supply for necessary generators. The City received two
proposals for this service, with Herr Petroleum providing the best proposal and overall pricing to
provide motor fuel and delivery to the City. Sufficient funds are budgeted by each department
for their respective estimated usage of fuel.
Item 25-4008 Salary Schedule
Staff recommend approval of the classification and salary schedule for exempt employees. This
year brings many personnel and organizational changes for the City, including appointing Aaron
Gavin as the Director of Public Works, condensing the Information Technology staff, and the
retirement of the Benefits & Risk Manager. The attached 2025 Classification and Salary Schedule
reflects the addition of the Director of Information Technology and Director of Human Resources
positions. In addition, it eliminates the position of Senior Systems Administrator and creates the
position of Senior Systems Administrator & Security Manager, eliminates the HR Manager
position and creates an HR Generalist position. The changes in the salary schedule are consistent
with the FY 2025 budget.
Item 25-4009 OPEB Contribution
Staff recommend approval of submitting the budgeted FY 2025 OPEB contributions of
$146,325.00 to the City’s OPEB Trust account. In addition to pensions, many state and local
government employers provide other postemployment benefits (OPEB), as part of the total
compensation offered to attract and retain the services of qualified employees. Since 2013, the
City Council has been proactive by annually contributing funds, on average approximately
$142,550.00, to the City’s OPEB Trust to offset the City’s OPEB liability. For fiscal year 2025,
administration is recommending that the City, excluding the Library and Township, contribute
$146,325.00 to the City’s OPEB Trust account.

PUBLIC COMMENT
Jennifer Holmes addressed the Council and stated that while she was walking her dog on Cherry
Street she encountered a homeless person who was in pain, confused and in need of help, so
she called public safety. She believes our city has seen an increase in the number of people who
are homeless and Galesburg residents and business owners need to know how to help and
where to refer people. She added that if she hadn't recently had some workplace training on
homelessness, she would have likely walked by this young woman. Currently, if a person gets off
a train or a bus in Galesburg and is looking for help with shelter or a meal, the closest
dependable shelter is the Galesburg Rescue Mission, which is located on Farnham Street.
Ms. Holmes feels that Galesburg should have a downtown day center, or drop in center, for
people who are homeless similar to the Carpenter’s Place in Rockford. They have a day room
with a common area, serve breakfast and lunch, offer a place to shower, clothing, telephones
and a message service. It would also be helpful if residents and business owners could give
people a card with information on local resources for shelter, food, counseling, etc. She urged
the Council to take seriously the problem of homelessness in our community. She thanked them
for listening and for serving.

CLOSING COMMENTS
Council Member White wished everyone a Happy New Year.
Council Member Acerra also wished everyone a Happy New Year.
Council Member Carrington announced that she has been married for over a week now and is
absolutely delighted. She stated that it’s been a wonderful new year so far and wished
everyone a Happy New Year.
Council Member Cheesman thanked Ms. Holmes for attending the meeting and speaking
tonight and believes that everyone realizes the challenge that we all have as a society, as a City,
and in the United States, in addressing housing and homelessness issues. He feels it's going to
take a multidimensional approach to come up with answers. He also noted that at the high
school there is a picture on one of the revolving boards of students who are being recognized
for perfect attendance. He believes this is very noteworthy and applauds those who grow up
January 6, 2025 Page 4 of 6
with that kind of value system where they make it to school in a consistent and near perfect
way. In our society, one sign of success is the dependability of the people.
Council Member Cheesman also wished those that observe Christianity a happy epiphany. This
is the day that it was made known to Christians throughout the world that Jesus was the Christ
child, but also a day when the Magi came and visited, giving gifts. He has said oftentimes at
these meetings that our City's best attribute is its people, and there are many who give of
themselves and should be commended, whether it's their time, talents, or their money. Finally,
he added that thinking of someone who certainly contributed greatly to our society and a
person who served others in a big way and lived a life of honor was President Jimmy Carter, who
passed away this last week.
Council Member Dennis wished everyone a Happy New Year.
Council Member Miller wished everyone a Happy New Year and also stated that he is grateful to
have been a part of the City Council in 2024 and thankful for the many great things that have
been accomplished. Many votes were unanimous, which says a lot for all of them working
together. He is looking forward to 2025 and hopes that the City has another wonderful year.
Mayor Schwartzman also wished everyone a Happy New Year. He also stated that 2025 is a
propitious year and we are a quarter of the way through this century, which is pretty amazing.
He noted that he teaches a lot of students who actually were born in this century, and they
don't fully understand that 25 years is a big milestone. He agreed that there are a lot of things
that have been accomplished as Council Member Miller indicated, and as seen in the budget,
there is a lot to be accomplished this year as well. This will require the diligence of the City
Council and the staff, but it will also require public input. When the City engages in big projects,
we need the input of the community. Hopefully other Council Members will be requesting that
input as things evolve, as there is a lot to do in the next 12 months. The Mayor agreed that the
City will need to deal with the housing issue, as well as transportation, and he hopes to make
continued progress with the homeless issue. He thanked those who attended on a cold night,
and added that the Council will be seeking their input over the course of the next several
months to make 2025 as successful as 2024.
Council Member Cheesman moved, seconded by Council Member Miller, to adjourn into
executive session at 6:19 p.m. for the purposes of discussing approval of the executive session
meeting for November 4, 2024, 5 ILCS 120/2(c)(21) and Litigation 5 ILCS 120/2(c)(11).

Agenda Item Overview
January 21, 2025
AGENDA ITEM: Motor Fuel Tax (MFT) Maintenance Resolution for the 2025 Intermittent
Resurfacing project.
SUMMARY RECOMMENDATION: The City Manager and Director of Public Works recommend
approval of the Motor Fuel Tax Resolution for resurfacing in the amount of $800,000.
BACKGROUND: The first step with the Illinois Department of Transportation for authorization is
a MFT Resolution. This resolution covers the estimated total cost of the project. This project will
go out for bid this Spring and will be brought to the Council for approval at that time. However,
prior to advertising the projects for bid, IDOT requires a MFT Resolution be approved.
It is proposed to perform asphalt resurfacing and other repairs to streets such as S. Chambers
Street between Fifth Street and South Street and Lincoln Park Drive from north of US 34 to
Ledford Lane. Typical work will include removal and replacement of the existing areas of
deteriorated asphalt surface, repairs to curb and drainage inlets, and replacement of sidewalk
curb ramps to make them ADA compliant where necessary.
BUDGET IMPACT: There are sufficient funds budgeted for this work in the 2025 budget from the
MFT Fund (Fund 11)

Calendar Year 2025.
SUMMARY RECOMMENDATION: Bruner Cooper & Zuck Inc. for Construction Materials Testing

are in unit costs to allow a means for comparison on the most frequently required tests. Quotes
this year were received from Bruner Cooper & Zuck.

the green space where heritage days is usually located when they are there. (to the left of the shelters)
Event Description
We would like to have a first-year vendor show (similar to Spoon River Drive in London Mills). We do these all year long for my son's
business which is Goodnotestore.com (he also is the employment specialist for the Galesburg Library). We have over 75 vendors we
would invite but we are unsure of who would attend until we send out contracts. We changed the date to mid-May so hopefully, it will be
dry. We have some food vendors that provide their generators so we would not need any electricity and I would have to see if they would
attend. I was told by Wendy that the cost is $45.00 and we would supply our liability insurance. I did discuss this with Don last week and
he told me to reapply. This could be a great thing in Galesburg and help support small business owners, if so we would like to do this
once a year. I would have my volunteers that would help with keeping things in order and cleaning up.

Agenda Item Overview

AGENDA ITEM: Western Illinois Regional Council (WIRC) Membership
SUMMARY RECOMMENDATION: The City Manager and Director of Community Development
recommend approval of membership with the Western Illinois Regional Council (WIRC) with an
annual membership fee of $17,085.00.
BACKGROUND: WIRC is an independent, technical assistance organization financed, in part,
cooperatively and collectively by member government dues at the local level. They also serve as
the Community Action Agency for this portion of the state. WIRC assists communities in the
preparation and administration of Community Development Block Grants (CDBG) for public
infrastructure, economic development, and housing lead remediation and rehab grants. They
employ state certified inspectors, construction specialists, and project administrators who can
apply for and process grants for local governments.
Grants WIRC is currently administering for the City include the Illinois Housing Development
Authority (IHDA) Housing Repair & Accessibility Program Grant and the Illinois Department of
Commerce and Economic Opportunity Community Development Block Grant Housing program.
The IHDA grant is $400,000 and has helped with renovations on eight homes, while the DCEO
grant is $650,000 and it is anticipated 10-12 homes will receive renovation work. WIRC will
continue to work with City staff for the fulfillment of these grants.
WIRC will continue to apply for and administer any future DCEO Housing Rehab, DCEO Public
Infrastructure, and IHDA Housing Rehab grants, and any other grants which become available for
the City.
The City of Galesburg is a member of WIRC and has been since March of 2020. The membership
fee is based on the City’s 2020 Census population and is $17,085.00 for one year, from July 1,
2024, to June 30, 2025. The correct invoice was recently received which is why it is coming to
Council now.
BUDGET IMPACT: There are sufficient funds budgeted for these fees in the UDAG Fund 26.

AGENDA ITEM: Release of Utility Easement for 1922 N Henderson Street
SUMMARY RECOMMENDATION: The City Manager, Director of Public Works and Director of
Community Development recommend approval of the Release of the Utility Easement.
BACKGROUND: A title search recently revealed there is a 10-foot easement for sewer the runs
under the existing building. This easement was noted on the Henderson-West Subdivision plat
that was recorded in 1994. Upon researching the issue, it was found that in 1997 when designing
for the construction of the building, the sewer in that easement was relocated and that sewer
easement is no longer in use or necessary. The owner has requested the release of the easement
to clear up the discrepancy. The City does not currently have any facilities located in the utility
easement.
BUDGET IMPACT: None.

City Council Meeting
Agenda Item Overview
January 21, 2025
AGENDA ITEM: Ordinance to provide for an amendment to an existing Site Lease Agreement for
an area of approximately 5,625 square feet of municipal property in Kiwanis Park for use as a
telecommunications tower site.
SUMMARY RECOMMENDATION: The City Manager and Director of Community Development
recommend approval.
BACKGROUND: The City currently leases a piece of property in Kiwanis Park to GTP Acquisition
Partners II, LLC which contains their telecommunications tower. The Site Lease agreement began
8/1/99 with an initial term of five years and three automatic five year extensions (July 31, 2019).
In 2011, City Council approved a 20-year extension to July 31, 2039.
The tower owner has stated it is difficult to attract additional co-locating antennas with such a
short time period left and has requested the lease term be extended an additional 20 years to
July 31, 2059. If the ordinance is approved and a signed amendment provided by February 15,
2025, the city will receive a one-time payment of $15,000.00.
The City currently collects a monthly rent payment for the tower and we also receive additional
rents for each co-located antenna from other telecommunication companies that install their
equipment on the tower. The tower rent increases 4% annually and each of the co-locates
increases 3% annually on the anniversary date on which each respective agreement was signed.
As of today, the monthly amount we receive for the tower and co-locates is approximately
$7,200.00. Of this amount, $2,100.00 is from the tower rent alone. If the extension is approved,
the next tower rent payment following the execution date will be 2,311.64 per month with the
4% increase occurring every August 1st.
BUDGET IMPACT: If the site lease agreement is extended, the City has the potential to continue
to receive lease fees through 2039. The lease extension also increases the potential to receive
additional monthly fees for any additional co-locates that may be added in future years.

THE SECOND AMENDMENT TO SITE LEASE AGREEMENT
This Second Amendment to Site Lease Agreement (this “Amendment”) is made effective as of the latter
signature date hereof (the “Effective Date”) by and between City of Galesburg, Illinois (“Landlord”) and GTP
Acquisition Partners II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Tenant”) (Landlord and Tenant being
collectively referred to herein as the “Parties”).
RECITALS
WHEREAS, Landlord owns the real property described on Exhibit A attached hereto and by this reference
made a part hereof (the “Parent Parcel”); and
WHEREAS, Landlord (or its predecessor-in-interest) and Tenant (or its predecessor-in-interest) entered into
that certain Site Lease Agreement dated July 19, 1999 (the “Original Lease”), as amended by that certain
First Amendment to Site Lease Agreement dated October 3, 2011 (the “First Amendment”; Original Lease
and First Amendment, collectively, the “Lease”), pursuant to which the Tenant leases a portion of the Parent
Parcel and is the beneficiary of certain easements for access and utilities, all as more particularly described in
the Lease (such portion of the Parent Parcel so leased along with such portion of the Parent Parcel so
affected, collectively, the “Leased Premises”), which Leased Premises are also described on Exhibit A; and
WHEREAS, Landlord and Tenant desire to amend the terms of the Lease to extend the term thereof and to
otherwise modify the Lease as expressly provided herein.
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals and the mutual covenants set forth herein and
other good and valuable consideration, the receipt, adequacy, and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged, the Parties hereby agree as follows:
1. One-Time Payment. Tenant shall pay to Landlord a one-time payment in the amount of fifteen thousand
and 00/100 Dollars ($15,000.00), payable within thirty (30) days of the Effective Date and subject to the
following conditions precedent: (a) Tenant’s receipt of this Amendment executed by Landlord, on or
before February 15, 2025; (b) Tenant’s confirmation that Landlord’s statements as further set forth in this
Amendment are true, accurate, and complete, including verification of Landlord’s ownership; (c) Tenant’s
receipt of any documents and other items reasonably requested by Tenant in order to effectuate the
transaction and payment contemplated herein; and (d) receipt by Tenant of an original Memorandum (as
defined herein) executed by Landlord.
2. Lease Term Extended. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Lease or this
Amendment, the Parties agree the Lease originally commenced on August 1, 1999, and, without giving
effect to the terms of this Amendment but assuming the exercise by Tenant of all remaining renewal
options contained in the Lease (each an “Existing Renewal Term” and, collectively, the “Existing Renewal
Terms”), the Lease is otherwise scheduled to expire on July 31, 2039. In addition to any Existing Renewal
Term(s), the Lease is hereby amended to provide Tenant with the option to extend the Lease for each of
four (4) additional five (5) year renewal terms (each a “New Renewal Term” and, collectively, the “New
Renewal Terms”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Lease, (a) all Existing
Renewal Terms and New Renewal Terms shall automatically renew unless Tenant notifies Landlord that
Tenant elects not to renew the Lease, as amended herein, at least sixty (60) days prior to the
commencement of the next Renewal Term (as defined below) and (b) Landlord shall be able to terminate
the Lease, as amended herein, only in the event of a material default by Tenant, which default is not cured
within sixty (60) days of Tenant’s receipt of written notice thereof, provided, however, in the event that
Tenant has diligently commenced to cure a material default within sixty (60) days of Tenant’s actual
ATC Site No: 371087
Site Name: Galesburg East
receipt of notice thereof and reasonably requires additional time beyond the sixty (60) day cure period
described herein to effect such cure, Tenant shall have such additional time as is necessary (beyond the
sixty [60] day cure period) to effect the cure. References in this Amendment to “Renewal Term” shall
refer, collectively, to the Existing Renewal Term(s) and the New Renewal Term(s). The Landlord hereby
agrees to execute and return to Tenant an original Memorandum of Lease in the form and of the
substance attached hereto as Exhibit B and by this reference made a part hereof (the “Memorandum”)
executed by Landlord, together with any applicable forms needed to record the Memorandum, which
forms shall be supplied by Tenant to Landlord.
3. Rent and Escalation. Commencing with the first rental payment due following the Effective Date, the rent
payable from Tenant to Landlord under the Lease shall be two thousand three hundred and eleven
dollars and 64/100 Dollars ($2,311.64) per (the “Rent”). Commencing on August 1, 2025, and on each
successive annual anniversary thereof, Rent due under the Lease, as amended herein, shall increase by an
amount equal to four percent (4%) of the then current Rent. In the event of any overpayment of Rent or
Collocation Fee (as defined below) prior to or after the Effective Date, Tenant shall have the right to
deduct from any future Rent payments an amount equal to the overpayment amount. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in the Lease, all Rent and any other payments expressly required to be
paid by Tenant to Landlord under the Lease and this Amendment shall be paid to City of Galesburg Illinois.
The escalations in this Section shall be the only escalations to the Rent and any/all rental escalations
otherwise contained in the Lease are hereby null and void and are of no further force and effect.
4. Rent Guarantee. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Lease, as amended, in the event the
Lease terminates prior to eight (8) years after the Effective Date hereof (the “Rent Guarantee Date”),
Tenant shall pay to Landlord in one lump-sum the total remaining Rent payments that would have
otherwise been due to the Landlord through the Rent Guarantee Date (the “Rent Guarantee Amount”)
within thirty (30) days after termination of the Lease, provided however, the Rent Guarantee Amount shall
not be paid to Landlord in the event that: (i) the Lease is terminated by Tenant due to an uncured breach
of the Lease by Landlord; or (ii) the Lease is terminated by either party or any applicable third party having
a legal or statutory right to terminate the Lease due to a condemnation or taking of the Leased Premises
and/or Parent Parcel by the applicable local, state or federal jurisdiction or agency.
5. Ratification of Revenue Share. The revenue share obligation described in Section 3(b) of the Original Lease
(the “Collocation Fee”) shall remain in full force and effect through the Renewal Terms.
6. Landlord and Tenant Acknowledgments. Except as modified herein, the Lease and all provisions
contained therein remain in full force and effect and are hereby ratified and affirmed. In the event there is
a conflict between the Lease and this Amendment, this Amendment shall control. The Parties hereby
agree that no defaults exist under the Lease. Landlord hereby acknowledges and agrees that Tenant shall
not need consent or approval from, or to provide notice to, Landlord for any future activities at or uses of
the Leased Premises, including, without limitation, subleasing and licensing to additional customers,
installing, modifying, repairing, or replacing improvements within the Leased Premises, and/or assigning all
or any portion of Tenant’s interest in this Lease, as modified by this Amendment. Notwithstanding the
above, prior notice to Landlord is required for Tenant to sublease the Leased Premises, additionally,
Tenant shall provide Landlord notice of the termination of any sublease. Upon request by Tenant and at
Tenant’s sole cost and expense but without additional consideration owed to Landlord, Landlord hereby
agrees to promptly execute and return to Tenant building permits, zoning applications and other forms
and documents, including a memorandum of lease, as required for the use of the Leased Premises by
Tenant and/or Tenant’s customers, licensees, and sublessees. Landlord hereby appoints Tenant as
Landlord’s attorney-in-fact coupled with an interest to prepare, execute and deliver land use and zoning
and building permit applications that concern the Leased Premises, on behalf of Landlord with federal,
ATC Site No: 371087
Site Name: Galesburg East
state and local governmental authorities, provided that such applications shall be limited strictly to the use
of the Leased Premises as a wireless telecommunications facility and that such attorney-in-fact shall not
allow Tenant to re-zone or otherwise reclassify the Leased Premises or the Parent Parcel. The terms,
provisions, and conditions of this Section shall survive the execution and delivery of this Amendment.
7. Non-Compete. During the original term, any Existing Renewal Terms, and/or any New Renewal Terms of
this Lease, Landlord shall not sell, transfer, grant, convey, lease, and/or license by deed, easement, lease,
license or other legal instrument, an interest in and to, or the right to use or occupy any portion of the
Parent Parcel or Landlord’s contiguous, adjacent, or adjoining property to any person or entity directly or
indirectly engaged in the business of owning, acquiring, operating, managing, investing in or leasing
wireless telecommunications infrastructure (any such person or entity, a “Third Party Competitor”)
without the prior written consent of Tenant, which may be withheld, conditioned, and/or delayed in
Tenant’s sole, reasonable discretion.
8. Limited Right of First Refusal. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, this paragraph
shall not apply to any fee simple sale of the Parent Parcel from Landlord to any prospective purchaser that
is not a Third Party Competitor. If Landlord receives an offer or desires to offer to: (i) sell or convey any
interest (including, but not limited to, leaseholds or easements) in any real property of which the Leased
Premises is a part to a Third Party Competitor or (ii) assign all or any portion of Landlord’s interest in the
Lease, as modified by this Amendment, to a Third Party Competitor (any such offer, the “Offer”), Tenant
shall have the right of first refusal to purchase the real property or other interest being offered by
Landlord in connection with the Offer on the same terms and conditions. If Tenant elects, in its sole and
absolute discretion, to exercise its right of first refusal as provided herein, Tenant must provide Landlord
with notice of its election not later than forty-five (45) days after Tenant receives written notice from
Landlord of the Offer. If Tenant elects not to exercise Tenant’s right of first refusal with respect to an Offer
as provided herein, Landlord may complete the transaction contemplated in the Offer with the Third Party
Competitor on the stated terms and price but with the express condition that such sale is made subject to
the terms of the Lease, as modified by this Amendment. Landlord hereby acknowledges and agrees that
any sale or conveyance by Landlord in violation of this Section is and shall be deemed to be null and void
and of no force and effect. The terms, provisions, and conditions of this Section shall survive the execution
and delivery of this Amendment.
9. Landlord Statements. Landlord hereby represents and warrants to Tenant that: (i) to the extent
applicable, Landlord is duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing in the jurisdiction in which
Landlord was organized, formed, or incorporated, as applicable, and is otherwise in good standing and
authorized to transact business in each other jurisdiction in which such qualifications are required; (ii)
Landlord has the full power and authority to enter into and perform its obligations under this Amendment,
and, to the extent applicable, the person(s) executing this Amendment on behalf of Landlord, have the
authority to enter into and deliver this Amendment on behalf of Landlord; (iii) no consent, authorization,
order, or approval of, or filing or registration with, any governmental authority or other person or entity is
required for the execution and delivery by Landlord of this Amendment; (iv) Landlord is the sole owner of
the Leased Premises and all other portions of the Parent Parcel; (v) to the best of Landlord’s knowledge,
there are no agreements, liens, encumbrances, claims, claims of lien, proceedings, or other matters
(whether filed or recorded in the applicable public records or not) related to, encumbering, asserted
against, threatened against, and/or pending with respect to the Leased Premises or any other portion of
the Parent Parcel which do or could (now or any time in the future) adversely impact, limit, and/or impair
Tenant’s rights under the Lease, as amended and modified by this Amendment; (vi) so long as Tenant
performs its obligations under the Lease, Tenant shall peaceably and quietly have, hold and enjoy the
Leased Premises, and Landlord shall not act or permit any third person to act in any manner which would
interfere with or disrupt Tenant's business or frustrate Tenant or Tenant’s customers’ use of the Leased
ATC Site No: 371087
Site Name: Galesburg East
Premises and (vii) the square footage of the Leased Premises is the greater of Tenant’s existing
improvements on the Parent Parcel or the land area conveyed to Tenant under the Lease. The
representations and warranties of Landlord made in this Section shall survive the execution and delivery of
this Amendment. Landlord hereby does and agrees to indemnify Tenant for any damages, losses, costs,
fees, expenses, or charges of any kind sustained or incurred by Tenant as a result of the breach of the
representations and warranties made herein or if any of the representations and warranties made herein
prove to be untrue. The aforementioned indemnification shall survive the execution and delivery of this
Amendment.
10. Confidentiality. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Lease or in this Amendment,
Landlord agrees and acknowledges that all the terms of this Amendment and the Lease and any
information furnished to Landlord by Tenant in connection therewith shall be and remain confidential.
Except with Landlord’s family, attorney, accountant, broker, lender, a prospective fee simple purchaser of
the Parent Parcel, or if otherwise required by law, Landlord shall not disclose any such terms or
information without the prior written consent of Tenant. The terms and provisions of this Section shall
survive the execution and delivery of this Amendment.
11. Notices. The Parties acknowledge and agree that Section 23 of the Original Lease and Section 3 of the First
Amendment are hereby deleted in their entirety and are of no further force and effect. From and after the
Effective Date the notice address and requirements of the Lease, as modified by this Amendment, shall be
controlled by this Section of this Amendment. All notices must be in writing and shall be valid upon
receipt when delivered by hand, by nationally recognized courier service, or by First Class United States
Mail, certified, return receipt requested to the addresses set forth herein: to Landlord at: Attn Finance
Department PO Box 1387, Galesburg, IL 61402-1387; to Tenant at: Attn.: Land Management 10
Presidential Way, Woburn, MA 01801, with copy to: Attn.: Legal Dept., 116 Huntington Avenue, Boston,
MA 02116. Any of the Parties, by thirty (30) days prior written notice to the others in the manner
provided herein, may designate one or more different notice addresses from those set forth above.
Refusal to accept delivery of any notice or the inability to deliver any notice because of a changed address
for which no notice was given as required herein, shall be deemed to be receipt of any such notice.
12. Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in several counterparts, each of which when so
executed and delivered, shall be deemed an original and all of which, when taken together, shall constitute
one and the same instrument, even though all Parties are not signatories to the original or the same
counterpart. Furthermore, the Parties may execute and deliver this Amendment by electronic means such
as .pdf or similar format. Each of the Parties agrees that the delivery of the Amendment by electronic
means will have the same force and effect as delivery of original signatures and that each of the Parties
may use such electronic signatures as evidence of the execution and delivery of the Amendment by all
Parties to the same extent as an original signature.
13. Governing Law. From and after the Effective Date and notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in the Lease and in this Amendment, the Lease and this Amendment shall be governed by and
construed in all respects in accordance with the laws of the State or Commonwealth in which the Leased
Premises is situated, without regard to the conflicts of laws provisions of such State or Commonwealth.
14. Waiver. From and after the Effective Date and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein
or in the Lease, in no event shall Landlord or Tenant be liable to the other for, and Landlord and Tenant
hereby waive, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, the right to recover incidental,
consequential (including, without limitation, lost profits, loss of use or loss of business opportunity),
punitive, exemplary and similar damages.
ATC Site No: 371087
Site Name: Galesburg East
15. Tenant’s Securitization Rights; Estoppel. Landlord hereby consents to the granting by Tenant of one or
more leasehold mortgages, collateral assignments, liens, and/or other security interests (collectively, a
“Security Interest”) in Tenant's interest in the Lease, as amended, and all of Tenant’s property and fixtures
attached to and lying within the Leased Premises and further consents to the exercise by Tenant's
mortgagee (“Tenant’s Mortgagee”) of its rights to exercise its remedies, including without limitation
foreclosure, with respect to any such Security Interest. Landlord shall recognize the holder of any such
Security Interest of which Landlord is given prior written notice (any such holder, a “Holder”) as “Tenant”
hereunder in the event a Holder succeeds to the interest of Tenant hereunder by the exercise of such
remedies. Landlord further agrees to execute a written estoppel certificate within thirty (30) days of
written request of the same by Tenant or Holder.
16. Taxes. The Parties acknowledge and agree that Section 10 of the Original Lease is hereby deleted in its
entirety and is of no further force and effect. From and after the Effective Date the obligations of the
Parties with respect to taxes shall be controlled by this Section of this Amendment. During the term of the
Lease, as modified by this Amendment, Tenant shall pay when due all real property, personal property,
and other taxes, fees, and assessments that are directly attributable to Tenant's improvements on the
Leased Premises (the “Applicable Taxes”) directly to the local taxing authority to the extent that the
Applicable Taxes are billed directly to Tenant. Tenant hereby agrees to reimburse Landlord for any
Applicable Taxes billed directly to Landlord (which shall not include any taxes or other assessments
attributable to periods prior to the Effective Date). Landlord must furnish written documentation (the
substance and form of which shall be reasonably satisfactory to Tenant) of any Applicable Taxes along with
proof of payment of the same by Landlord. Landlord shall submit requests for reimbursement in writing
to: American Tower Corporation, Attn: Landlord Relations, 10 Presidential Way, Woburn, MA 01801 unless
otherwise directed by Tenant from time to time. Subject to the requirements set forth in this Section,
Tenant shall make such reimbursement payment within forty-five (45) days of receipt of a written
reimbursement request from Landlord. Anything to the contrary notwithstanding, Landlord is only eligible
for reimbursement if Landlord requests reimbursement within one (1) year after the date such taxes
became due. Additionally, Landlord shall not be entitled to reimbursement for any costs associated with
an increase in the value of Landlord’s real property calculated based on any monetary consideration paid
from Tenant to Landlord. If Landlord fails to pay when due any real property, personal property, and other
taxes, fees, and assessments affecting the Parent Parcel, Tenant shall have the right, but not the
obligation, to pay such taxes on Landlord’s behalf and: (i) deduct the full amount of any such taxes paid by

City Council Meeting
Agenda Item Overview
January 21, 2025
AGENDA ITEM: Resolution of support and commitment of local funds for a Rebuilding American
Infrastructure with Sustainability and Equity (RAISE) Grant Program application for a project
planning study at the South Street railroad underpass.
SUMMARY RECOMMENDATION: The City Manager and Interim Director of Public Works
recommend approval of the resolution.
BACKGROUND: It is planned to apply for a Rebuilding American Infrastructure with Sustainability
and Equity (RAISE) Program grant through the US Department of Transportation (DOT) for funds
towards the planning of a project that would make safety and mobility improvements at the
South Street railroad underpass. The RAISE Program provides federal funding opportunities for
eligible surfacing transportation projects that will have a significant local or regional impact and
support the Department’s priorities of safety, equity, climate and sustainability, and workforce
development. The proposed application will apply for funding for project planning only. The
intent of the project planning phase is to develop the purpose and need of the project, develop
alternatives and conceptual designs, seek stakeholder and public involvement, study
environmental impacts, and develop cost estimates for alternatives.
The potential changes that will be a part of the planning study include closing the Mulberry Street
crossing and replacing the South Street underpass with a new underpass that does not have a
height restriction. This would allow for the passage of taller emergency vehicles and larger
trucks. Also, straightening the underpass to be in line with the current South Street alignment
and making changes to the intersection with Seminary Street, both of which would improve
safety. Accommodation for pedestrians and bicyclists would also be included in the study. The
City is partnering with BNSF to complete the application for the planning project. BNSF has agreed
to use their engineering consulting firm, at their cost, to complete and submit the application.
The total estimated cost of the Project Planning study is $1,683,988. If awarded, the RAISE
Program would cover 80% of the cost of the study and the City and BNSF would split the 20%
local match. The City’s contribution would be $168,399.
BUDGET IMPACT: If selected for the grant, the City’s share of the project is planned to be funded
through the Utility Tax Fund (Fund 59)

City Council Meeting
Agenda Item Overview
January 21, 2025
AGENDA ITEM: A resolution authorizing execution a municipal aggregation agreement.
SUMMARY RECOMMENDATION: The City Manager and the Purchasing Agent recommend
approval of the attached resolution.
BACKGROUND: In 2024, the City of Galesburg retained The Stone River Group LLC as the new
energy broker for municipal aggregation permitting the City to become part of Central Illinois
Municipal Aggregation (CIMA). CIMA was formed by The Stone River Group LLC in 2017 to allow
a group of municipalities to collectively negotiate an agreement at a fixed price for the supply of
electricity for their residents. CIMA’s current municipal aggregation agreement will expire in June
of 2025. As required by law, a new agreement must be executed no later than 60 days prior to
the current agreement’s expiration date to allow for the opt-out mailers to be properly
distributed to eligible residents and businesses within each municipality. The Stone River Group
LLC anticipates signing a new agreement in February or March. In the meantime, they will provide
recommendations to the City regarding the energy supplier and agreement terms based on the
current and projected energy market trends.
Due to the daily fluctuation of energy prices, The Stone River Group LLC must be able to obtain
signatures from all municipalities within CIMA on the same day to successfully execute a new
agreement with the lowest responsible bidder for the supply of electricity for residential and
small commercial retail customers who do not opt out of the municipal aggregation program.
Given the sensitive time frame, City staff are requesting prior authority from the City Council to
allow the City Manager to execute the municipal aggregation agreement at the time of receipt.
The new municipal aggregation agreement for the City of Galesburg will be in effect once the
current agreement expires in July of 2025.
BUDGET IMPACT: None

RESOLUTION NO.__________________
WHEREAS, Section 1-92 of the Illinois Power Agency Act, 20 ILCS 3855/1- 92, permits a
municipality, if authorized by referendum, to adopt an ordinance by which it may operate a
program to solicit bids and enter into service agreements for the sale and purchase of
electricity and related services and equipment to residential and small commercial customers
who do not opt-out of such a program; and
WHEREAS, the CITY OF GALESBURG (“City”), in a referendum held on November 6,
2012, submitted the public question of whether it should operate the program as an opt-out
program; and
WHEREAS, the referendum passed by a majority vote of the qualified electors voting on
the question; and
WHEREAS, the City finds that the best interests of the City are served by entering into
an agreement with the lowest responsible bidder, pursuant to 20 ILCS 3855/1-92, to aggregate
the residential and small commercial retail electric loads located within the City and to arrange
for competitive electric supply to these retail electrical accounts; and
WHEREAS, because electricity is a commodity for which supply bids typically are made
each morning and expire the same day at the close of business, the City must act promptly to
accept any such desired bid in order to contractually guarantee a per kilowatt hour electric rate
for its residential and small commercial customers; and
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GALESBURG,
KNOX COUNTY, ILLINOIS:
SECTION 1. The City Manager of the City of Galesburg, Illinois, be and the same is
hereby authorized to execute and deliver and the City Clerk of the City of Galesburg, Illinois, be
and the same is hereby authorized to attest to said execution of a service agreement with the
lowest responsible bidder for the supply of electricity for residential and small commercial retail
customers who do not opt out of such a program, said execution and attestation to take place
within the applicable time constraints required by the bidder; provided, however, that the
energy price to be paid per kilowatt hour pursuant to the agreement is less than the default
rate currently in effect, resulting in savings for the City’s residential and small commercial retail
customers.
SECTION 2. This Resolution shall be effective immediately and shall remain in effect
until such time as the year 2025 electricity aggregation program electric supplier selection
process has been completed.

City Council Meeting
Agenda Item Overview
January 21, 2025
AGENDA ITEM: Proposal recommendation, supply of gasoline and diesel fuel for City of
Galesburg.
SUMMARY RECOMMENDATION: The City Manager and Purchasing Agent recommend that the
City Council award a five-year agreement for the supply and delivery of gasoline and diesel fuels
to the City of Galesburg as submitted by Herr Petroleum (Galesburg, IL).
BACKGROUND: The City of Galesburg regularly seeks agreements for the supply and delivery of
fuel to the various City sites. The City currently has fuel tanks in eight locations. The tanks with
the highest volume of use are located at Central Garage as most City vehicles replenish their fuel
supply at this location. In addition, there are smaller tanks located at various locations to fuel
equipment or to serve as a fuel supply for necessary generators.
The current agreement with Herr Petroleum for fuel supply will expire January 31, 2025.
Therefore, a formal Request for Proposal was developed, advertised in the Register Mail, posted
on the City’s website and sent to known vendors who supply and deliver gasoline and diesel fuel.
The City received proposal responses from two companies regarding this request: Herr
Petroleum (Galesburg, IL) and West Central FS Inc (Galesburg, IL). As indicated in the request,
the proposals would be reviewed, and points would be awarded in various categories of
importance when selecting a fuel supplier with pricing and availability carrying the most weight.
The total price of fuel is based on a published Oil Price Information Service (OPIS) listing, a
delivery price plus any applicable Federal or State taxes and fees that the City is required to pay.
The OPIS listing is updated weekly and used by over 260 state owned locations throughout
Illinois. Once the gasoline and diesel prices are stated for a given week, all deliveries during that
week are charged the applicable weekly OPIS price. The delivery price is specific to each supplier
and consists of transportation costs and markup. The awarded vendor is required to provide
weekly pricing documentation to the City to ensure proper compliance with billing.
Upon review of the proposals, it was apparent Herr Petroleum provided a more detailed proposal
than West Central FS Inc, but both companies are of good quality and would provide good service
to Galesburg. The City also requested that each proposer provide the delivery price per gallon for
each location since the OPIS listing and applicable taxes and fees will fluctuate over time. Both
25-4007
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Prepared by: TDM Page 2 of 2
companies offered the same pricing at each location for all five years. While West Central FS Inc
offered slightly lower pricing for most locations, Herr Petroleum offered a considerably lower
rate for the fuel delivered to Central Garage, offsetting any potential cost savings from West
Central FS’s pricing by approximately $3,200.00 annually.
Ultimately, Staff determined Herr Petroleum provided the best proposal and overall pricing to
provide motor fuel and delivery to the City under a new five-year agreement and recommend
approval for this agreement.
BUDGET IMPACT: Each of the respective departments annually budgets for their consumption of
gasoline and diesel fuels.

City Council Meeting
Agenda Item Overview
January 21, 2025
AGENDA ITEM: Approval to Submit FY 2025 OPEB Contributions to the City’s OPEB Trust
SUMMARY RECOMMENDATION: The City Manager and Director of Finance recommend
approval to submit the budgeted FY 2025 OPEB contributions to the City’s OPEB Trust account.
BACKGROUND: In addition to pensions, many state and local government employers provide
other postemployment benefits (OPEB), such as health insurance, as part of the total
compensation offered to attract and retain the services of qualified employees. From an accrual
accounting perspective, the cost of OPEB, like the cost of pension benefits, generally should be
associated with the periods in which the exchange occurs, rather than the periods when benefits
are paid or provided. The annual OPEB cost is equal to the employer’s annual required
contribution (ARC) to the plan, with certain adjustments if the employer has a net obligation for
past under or over contributions.
As of the last audit, for fiscal year ending 2023, the City’s OPEB liability is as follows:
Description Amount
Total OPEB liability $14,262,062
Plan assets in OPEB trust $2,305,907
Net OPEB liability $11,956,155
Since 2013, the City Council has been proactive and has been annually contributing funds, on
average approximately $142,550, to the City’s OPEB Trust to offset the City’s OPEB liability.
Funding the Trust helps to reduce the City’s liability and may be viewed positively when the City
is requesting or receiving a credit rating which then may help lower interest costs when issuing
debt. As of the last quarterly statement received, the ending balance for the OPEB Trust is $2.782
million. For fiscal year 2025, administration is recommending that the City, excluding the Library
and Township, contribute $146,325 to the City’s OPEB Trust account.
BUDGET IMPACT: Sufficient funds are budgeted in the following funds: General, Water, Park &
Recreation Fund, Transit Fund, and Refuse Fund.
SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS: None
