CITY COUNCIL MEETING
City Manager’s Report
September 2, 2025
CONSENT AGENDA #2025-17
Item 25-2024 Release of Executive Session Minutes
Staff recommend approval of a resolution to release minutes that are deemed no longer
confidential, to not release certain minutes still deemed confidential, and to destroy recordings
from executive session minutes over eighteen months old.
Item 25-5006 MFT Compliance Report
Staff recommend receipt of the annual Motor Fuel Tax (MFT) Compliance Report for the period
of January 1, 2024, through December 31, 2024. The report details the receipt and disbursement
of MFT funds by the City of Galesburg and is part of a standard review process conducted by the
Illinois Department of Transportation’s Bureau of Local Roads and Streets. The document ensures
compliance with state requirements and will be maintained as a permanent record in the City
Clerk’s office. There is no budget impact associated with this action.
Item 25-4052 Replacement of Bus Shelter at McKnight & McClure Intersection
Staff recommend approval of a $25,633.00 quote from Duo Guard Industries for replacement
and installation of a bus shelter at McClure and McKnight Streets. The original shelter was
destroyed in a car accident on May 18, 2025, and later removed by City crews.
Three quotes were received, but only Duo Guard included installation. While other vendors
offered lower base prices, their quotes did not meet the full scope of work. The driver’s insurance
company has reviewed the documentation and confirmed full reimbursement to the City.
Staff also recommend waiving normal purchasing policies due to the reimbursement and the
completeness of Duo Guard’s proposal. There is no budget impact.
Item 25-8016 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 25-1015 Class A Liquor License (First Reading)
Staff recommend approval of an ordinance to amend the liquor license for Judy’s Kitchen, LLC,
located at 51 North Prairie Street, from a Class D (restaurant) license to a Class A-1 (bar/tavern)
license. The change would allow the business to sell packaged liquor at retail in addition to on-
site consumption.
Judy’s Kitchen plans to collaborate with Reserve Artisan Ales to offer a signature “Judy’s Berry
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Page 2 of 3
Medley Pancake Sour Ale.” The ability to sell this product for takeaway is intended to appeal to
out-of-town visitors and boost sales. The license change will result in an annual revenue of
$2,850.
Item 25-2025 Purchase of 18 Parcels from the Knox County Trustee for Demolition and/or
Abatement of Nuisances
Staff recommend approval of a resolution to acquire 18 vacant or dilapidated properties from
the Knox County Trustee for $823 each through the county’s Tax Liquidation Program. The total
cost will cover acquisition and conveyance, with funding available in the Property Redevelopment
Fund (Fund 23).
Acquiring these properties will allow the City to move forward with demolition, reduce ongoing
maintenance costs, and prepare the sites for future reuse or resale through annual surplus
property sales. Several of the parcels are already in the demolition process or have been
previously cleared, while others remain uninhabitable or long-term vacant. This effort supports
ongoing blight reduction and neighborhood revitalization initiatives.
BIDS, PETITIONS AND COMMUNICATIONS
CITY MANAGER’S REPORT
MISCELLANEOUS BUSINESS (Agreements, Approvals, Etc.)
Item 25-4053 Service Agreement between Carl Sandburg College & Galesburg Public
Transportation
Staff recommend approval of a renewed service agreement between the City of Galesburg and
Carl Sandburg College (CSC) to provide unlimited fixed-route bus service for CSC students, faculty,
and staff from September 2025 through June 2027. The Public Transportation Advisory
Commission unanimously recommended approval on August 14, 2025.
Under the agreement, CSC will pay the City $7,400.00, with no changes to routes or frequency.
This payment will be recorded as a local match, enabling the City to leverage additional
Downstate Operating Assistance Program (DOAP) funds and reduce the City’s contribution to
transit operations.
Item 25-4054 Service Agreement between Graham Health System & Galesburg Public
Transportation
Staff recommend approval of a one-year service agreement between Galesburg Public
Transportation (GPT) and Graham Health System to provide origin-to-destination transportation
for patients facing barriers to care. The Public Transportation Advisory Commission unanimously
recommended approval on August 14, 2025.
Under the agreement, Graham will compensate the City for transportation services, with the
payment recorded as a local match. This designation enables the City to draw additional
Downstate Operating Assistance Program (DOAP) funds, reducing the City’s contribution to
transit operations.
The agreement will be reviewed annually, with ridership data used to inform future contract
considerations. The partnership is expected to improve healthcare access while enhancing the
City's ability to leverage State and Federal funding.

PUBLIC COMMENT
Mayor Schwartzman reminded the public that they would have three minutes to present their
comments to the City Council. He asked that everyone show civility and let everyone be heard.
August 18, 2025 Page 1 of 16
Pam Davidson addressed the Council in opposition to the City funding the Knox County YMCA.
She opposes allocating $900,000 in taxpayer money to a private, non-profit corporation when
the City should be investing in its own community center. Other cities, such as Rock Island,
Macomb, and Peoria, have their own facilities. She noted that many have Boys and Girls Clubs
which are independently owned and not affiliated with a YMCA. Her priority is to have a
union-labor facility that serves the south side of the community where basketball hoops and
other amenities can be installed. She opposes using taxpayer money to fund private industries,
believing the community shares her opinion.
Rick Welty addressed the Council as a lifelong member and current board member of the
YMCA, expressing his strong support for the organization. He emphasized the positive impact
the YMCA has had on his life since childhood, where he learned to swim, play basketball, and
found a social environment. He also noted his current commitment to mentoring young boys,
initially at GHS North and now at Lombard. He stressed the importance of the YMCA providing a
safe and constructive space for children and strongly recommended that the Council consider
providing financial assistance to the YMCA.
Demarkius Medley addressed the Council, expressing his support for the proposed $900,000
grant to the Knox County YMCA for a teen room and indoor playground. He feels that this is
more than just a construction project; it's a vital lifeline for the City’s youth, offering safe and
positive spaces that keep kids off the streets, builds community, and gives families a reason to
stay and thrive in Galesburg. He shared that when his family moved from Chicago, his brother
found opportunities at the Galesburg Youth Athletic Club (GYAC), which provided him with
structure, mentorship, and a safe place to grow, noting that the YMCA is currently exploring
partnerships with GYAC, which could significantly expand access to programs for children.
As a board member of the Galesburg Library Foundation, he mentioned ongoing discussions
with Adam Sampson about the Library's potential role within a larger community center. He
envisions a collaborative space where the YMCA, Library, GYAC, and other community
organizations could operate under one roof. This hub would provide education, mentorship,
recreation, and enrichment programs all in one centralized location, benefiting families and
youth across the City. He believes the teen room and indoor playground will offer children a
safe space to play and learn, contribute to reducing youth crime, strengthen partnerships
between nonprofits and City services, and make Galesburg even more family-friendly. He urged
the Council to approve the grant.
Christopher Lopez addressed the Council and stated that he has been a YMCA member for 13
years, including six years as an employee. When he moved to Galesburg in seventh grade, the
YMCA was his primary option, offering an alternative to potentially harmful street activities.
They accepted him and helped him through a challenging youth. He strongly urged the
approval of the grant and believes it is not only a step in the right direction but also a step
towards unity between the City of Galesburg and the YMCA.
Quantrell Cook-Polk, an employee of the Knox County Sheriff's Office, addressed the Council
and shared his personal experience with the YMCA. He stated that he has lived in the area for
August 18, 2025 Page 2 of 16
11 years and noted growing up in the poverty-stricken area of McKnight Street, and benefiting
from programs that provided bag lunches. His sisters were part of the Solutions Program and
are now Gale Scholars, which has had a significant positive impact on his family. He explained
that when his family struggled financially, the YMCA found ways to help, such as lowering
membership fees or granting free entry. He expressed that providing financial support to the
YMCA would greatly benefit the community and help keep many kids off the streets by
providing them with activities and resources.
Holly McDorman addressed the Council regarding the YMCA grant. She believes they are not
prepared to receive the money and that several of the responses to questions were
non-committal and lacked concrete answers. One significant concern she has is that if
approved, the YMCA would have total occupancy by the end of construction and the City would
have no say in its operations. If the City contributes $900,000 for this expansion, she believes
the City and the community of Galesburg deserve a voice in how it's run and its operations. She
noted that she has been an on-and-off member of the YMCA throughout her adult life. Through
a period when she had very limited income, she approached the YMCA, explained her financial
situation, and was told that she would need to pay $5 a month. This was a calculated fee that
she couldn't afford and demonstrates that the YMCA is not truly accessible for everyone,
whether due to transportation costs, membership fees, or other factors. She believes this is
why the City needs a free community center.
Jerry Ryberg addressed the Council and stated that the Illinois Shines program provides free
solar panels to citizens. He will soon be getting these panels, which will lower his electric bill
significantly. Anyone interested can contact him for a referral.
Tracy Robertson, Knox County Board, addressed the Council regarding concerns about allocating
taxpayer money to the YMCA. While appreciating the YMCA, she expressed concerns about
transportation for children, especially those not living near the high school or junior high. A key
concern was how students would get home after walking to the facility from the schools, and
suggested that the project should not proceed until a reliable transportation solution for
children is established. She also raised concerns about minority staffing at the YMCA,
emphasizing the importance of diverse representation beyond just referees for games. Ms.
Robertson proposed a satellite YMCA on the south side of town to serve all three sections of
Galesburg, similar to the downtown satellite. This facility should be City-owned rather than
privately owned and urged Council to vote no on the proposal.
Linda Miller addressed the Council and stated that with this proposal, the City would be
improperly using a portion of the general obligation bond funds authorized for the cost of
acquisition, construction, or renovation of an existing facility for the purpose of a community
center. She believes that giving $900,000 to the YMCA for a youth center does not fulfill the
promise of creating a community center. She also feels that this venture does not qualify for
funding because it's not a true community center, nor is it for the entire community. The City is
being asked to provide a significant sum with no guarantees about who would be served, how,
or under what rules.
August 18, 2025 Page 3 of 16
Ms. Miller believes this facility would be limited to teens and children and would require a
YMCA membership, which excludes those who cannot afford membership or secure
scholarships, leaving out many who require support. A true community center serves all ages
instead of having generational segregation. She asked that the City not allocate her tax dollars
to the YMCA for a project that deviates from the stated goal of a community center. The YMCA
should operate on its own dues, not rely on taxpayer subsidies for its wish list. She reiterated
that she feels it is unacceptable to view a $900,000 payment as a quick fix for a community
center and that there are dedicated individuals working to make a genuine community center a
reality.
John Peterson addressed the Council and stated that currently, the YMCA offers a variety of
group fitness classes, including high-intensity training, strength and toning, cardio, and
mind/body programs. The facility is well-equipped with staff dedicated to helping members
achieve their fitness goals. They also have an aquatic center and multiple gyms with equipment
and a free weight room. He added that a significant program offered by the YMCA is Rock
Steady, a class designed for individuals with Parkinson's disease, as well as those with other
health issues or simply looking to exercise. This class focuses on core strength, range of motion,
flexibility, posture, gait, and even voice exercises. He noted that Carl Sandburg College has
partnered with the YMCA for the past two years, sending student nurses to observe and
participate in this program, which has proven beneficial for all involved.
Margaret Hall addressed the Council and noted that the old downtown fire station, prior to it
becoming Iron Spike, had the VNA approach the City about converting it into a full-time center.
This request was denied at the time, as the building was considered a landmark and therefore
could not be altered. She suggested that the Council might want to research accessibility at
facilities like Lakeside, noting that while it is a very nice facility, playing pickleball there is
reportedly prohibitive. She expressed concern that while the City provides amenities, they are
not always accessible to everyone.
She stated that Carver Center received a significant amount of money for rebuilding after it
burned down and that no one has been able to answer the question about whether this money
was ever returned, recommending this as an area to investigate if the City is considering a
public project. Concerning Rotary Park, she noted that it’s a good location for seniors and for
children to play. She highlighted that it is the only location where people can sled without
hitting a tree. She argued against adding pickleball courts there, proposing that Bateman Park or
the City’s property on Fifth Street would be more accessible options for residents on the south
side of town. Ms. Hall recounted that 20 years ago, when she was on the City Council, a
feasibility study was conducted on the Maple Street Fire Station. It was deemed unfeasible for
any development then and has remained empty for two decades. She believes that at this point,
little can be done with it except turning it into a parking lot for the Bateman Street Park.
Candy Webb addressed the Council and asked them not to allow the YMCA to take $900,000 of
taxpayers money. She doesn’t have an issue with the YMCA, and feels that Adam Sampson and
his staff do a fantastic job for our community, children, and seniors. In 1998, she was turned
down for membership, having three kids that needed assistance at the time. For this reason she
August 18, 2025 Page 4 of 16
doesn’t go to the YMCA. She noted that since 2014, she has been asking the City for money for
a community center on the south side of town; the community center replacement for the one
that was sold by the City. That particular community center had birthday parties, anniversaries,
weddings, and many other events in conjunction with the south side of town. She added that
people on that side of town can't get to the YMCA or out to any other places on the north side .
Many of these individuals are the very people who require the assistance, need the facility,
need a place for their kids to go, and parents need somewhere for their kids while they are
working two or three jobs to make ends meet. The City could use the help of the YMCA to
create a true community center and not just another YMCA facility.
Mindi Knapp announced that Galesburg recently celebrated its 30th annual Heritage Days, an
event that saw an incredible turnout despite the extreme heat. She stated that an Abraham
Lincoln reenactor delivered a moving speech, reminding attendees that “all people are created
equal.” That message served as a reminder for fostering an inclusive environment within the
community. She stated that she is a Planet Fitness member, and mentioned past difficulties in
accessing YMCA services due to income limitations. She raised concerns regarding
homelessness, particularly children, noting the increasing numbers of youth who have been
kicked out of their homes. She also questioned the YMCA's drug policy and discipline strategies
for children within a closed environment, especially given current challenges in schools.
Council Member Hix left the meeting at 7:19 p.m.
Ms. Knapp focused on the growing homeless population, and stressed the urgent need for an
investment in housing and more jobs. She acknowledged the importance of community
activities like pickleball courts, but that these should be secondary to establishing a financially
stable town.
Council Member Hix returned to the meeting at 7:22 p.m.
Mary Lou Cochran addressed the Council regarding the proposed eight pickleball courts at
Rotary Park, which is adjacent to her property. She is not opposed to pickleball in general and
has friends who play, but objects to the revised plans for the park due to its residential location.
She suggested that other, non-residential areas in Galesburg would be more suitable. She
presented articles supporting her concerns about pickleball noise to the City Clerk. She
referenced the articles that recommended pickleball courts should be several feet from
residences to ensure harmony between players and homeowners. Ms. Cochran stated that the
primary reason for her opposition to the proposed courts is their proximity, being less than 600
feet from residences. She urged the Council to table the proposal and re-evaluate to find a
solution that accommodates both homeowners and pickleball players.
Gene Cochran, who lives near Rotary Park, addressed the Council regarding the proposed
pickleball court location. He clarified that he is not opposed to pickleball itself, having played
sports throughout his life. However, he strongly objects to the Rotary Park site. He likened the
sound of pickleball to roofing, but unlike roofing, which is temporary, pickleball noise is
continuous. He cited experts who recommend courts be 500 to 800 feet from homes to allow
August 18, 2025 Page 5 of 16
sound dissipation. The proposed Rotary Park location, with homes on three sides, places courts
approximately 250 to 300 feet away. He provided examples of cities facing complaints and even
lawsuits due to poor planning and court placement in residential areas. He urged the City to
grow the sport responsibly without alienating homeowners, suggesting numerous alternative,
non-residential locations such as Lakeside Recreation Center, Lake Storey, Hawthorne Center,
and Ice House Park. He asked the Council to use common sense and avoid creating conflict
between pickleball players and residents who enjoy their backyards. He requested they
reconsider the location choice and consider placing the courts in a non-residential area.
Council Member Cheesman left the meeting at 7:27 p.m.
Bob Colwell addressed the Council, expressing his and his wife's decision to retire in the area
because of Rotary Park, which they consider a community park. He stated his confusion
regarding the proposal to install courts there and emphasized that in his experience, these types
of facilities are always located in recreational areas, never within neighborhoods. He raised
concerns about parking, especially given the park's current busy periods where cars already spill
onto the street. Mr. Colwell shared that recently a neighbor, who learned about the proposed
pickleball courts, expressed that they would not have moved to the neighborhood if they had
known about the project. He suggested that this issue could negatively impact property resale
values. He urged the Council to reconsider the location of the proposed courts.
Council Member Cheesman returned to the meeting at 7:31 p.m.
James Clark addressed the Council and stated that he has lived in Galesburg for six years and
wanted to express his gratitude to the City Council, Mayor, City Manager, Director of Parks and
Recreation, and all involved in the construction of new pickleball courts. He began playing
pickleball last year and has since played in numerous communities. He indicated that the
Galesburg pickleball community is exceptional, noting that they are welcoming to new players.
He presented statistics on the sport's rapid growth, including the fact that pickleball has been
the fastest-growing sport in the U.S. for four consecutive years and globally, 812 million people
play.
Mr. Clark pointed out the increasing commercial interest in pickleball and noted the
involvement of high-profile individuals, including actors and professional athletes. He added
that the United States hosts two professional pickleball leagues: the PPA (Professional Pickleball
Association) Tour, which will visit the Quad Cities in 2026, and Major League Pickleball. He also
highlighted that it’s accessible to all ages, and provides low-impact cardio, among other health
benefits. It also has many social benefits, creating connections, combating depression,
loneliness, and anxiety.
Damian Thomas addressed the Council and stated that he currently attends the University of
Illinois, but still cares about matters of the community. His background is in aerospace and
sustainable aviation, where they consider the sound produced by plane engines. This
experience leads him to agree with concerns about noise complaints from pickleball courts.
There's conflicting information on ideal court distance, with some suggesting 300 feet and
August 18, 2025 Page 6 of 16
others 600 feet. In his experiments, environmental variables are taken into account, and
believes it’s crucial to find a solution that satisfies everyone. He also noted that he has concerns
about the proposed YMCA project. In his personal experience, growing up on the south side of
town in a family involved with drug dealing, he sees the YMCA as introducing too many
“middlemen,” potentially complicating access for people who prefer not to deal with
paperwork, like his family members. He believes the City should prioritize direct engagement
between community members, the Police Department, and youth from the south side.
Aguy Isala addressed the Council and stated that he has lived in Galesburg since the age of
seven. He feels that there is nothing to do in town for young people and that’s why he believes
more pickleball courts are crucial. He has been playing pickleball for two years, and noted that
the courts are busy most days. It's a free sport, no one has to pay YMCA fees, and at Bateman
Park, players have unlimited access beginning at 6 a.m. The sport is experiencing massive
growth and anyone can compete regardless of their skill level. He added that many of his
friends can't afford a YMCA membership.
Keira Spillman addressed the Council and stated that she initially considered pickleball an “old
person sport” until about a year ago, when she began playing with friends. As an employee at a
local church and a high school leader, she has witnessed the sport's positive impact on various
age groups within the community. She noted that she sees young people playing outdoors,
especially after hours, often at the pickleball courts and appreciates how it has fostered
intergenerational connections, allowing younger members of the community to interact with
older individuals.
Pam Colwell spoke to the Council regarding the proposed pickleball courts at Rotary Park and
stated that while it’s a great sport, it is best suited for non-residential areas. Her main concern
is the current green space at Rotary Park, which is actively used for soccer and flag football, and
does not want the space to be taken away from the children. Ms. Colwell raised concerns about
parking, noting that many visitors drive to the park and use parking spaces. Eight pickleball
courts could potentially accommodate 32 people, which she believes would overwhelm the
current limited parking availability.
Carol Erickson addressed the Council, stating that while the YMCA's plans are commendable,
Galesburg should not financially support them at this time. She believes that if Galesburg
already had a fully functioning, centrally or southerly located Community Center that served
everyone, the situation would be different. The current priority should be a community center
that caters to those who cannot easily access the YMCA or might not feel accepted there. She
stated that she has never played pickleball and has no objections to it, but suggested
incorporating pickleball courts into the proposed community center, addressing both issues
simultaneously. She hopes the YMCA can secure its own funding or wait until funds become
available.

Council Member Acerra moved, seconded by Council Member Hix, to approve the bid from Civil
Contractors Inc. in the amount of $547,618.92 for the construction of pickleball courts at Rotary
Park.
Council Member White reported receiving no calls from constituents within his Ward regarding
the proposal. However, he did receive calls from other citizens, with the majority expressing
opposition rather than support. He stated it's rare that he doesn’t want to be at a Council
meeting, but that tonight was one of those meetings, adding that this vote and the next are
difficult. He sympathizes with the residents near the proposed courts and isn’t sure he would
want pickleball courts next to his house. He wondered if those who want the courts would want
them in their own backyards.
Council Member White wished that the proponents and opponents of the courts had discussed
this project together and presented a solution to the City, rather than leaving the decision to
those on the Council who have no personal stake. There are no pickleball courts in the Fourth
Ward, and not having received any calls, he has been an impartial listener. He understands why
the City is placing the courts in this location due to existing infrastructure, and if a new facility
was constructed, costly restrooms and parking would have to be part of the plan.
Council Member Acerra addressed the pickleball issue, stating that she has been involved with it
since her election to the Council. She added that she has never received a noise complaint
about the Bateman pickleball courts, which are in Ward Five. Initially, she would have preferred
to put additional courts in her Ward, however, City staff conducted their due diligence to find
the best location. She acknowledged the common complaint about amenities being
concentrated on the north side of town. Having grown up near Rotary Park, she expressed her
desire for more recreational options for youth and emphasized the importance of having
activities accessible on the west side of town also.
Council Member Acerra expressed trust in City staff's thoroughness regarding setbacks and
noise-abating construction materials. She highlighted her personal experience with noise,
having initiated the Quiet Zone and living next to train tracks. She assured that pickleball noise
is not comparable to what some in the community have endured with trains. She urged the
public to trust the City staff's measures to ensure the new location makes sense for everyone.
She noted that she understands the concerns about a previously peaceful and underutilized
August 18, 2025 Page 9 of 16
park potentially attracting more people, but reiterated that it is a public park. She stated that
she would be voting in favor of the pickleball courts at Rotary Park.
Council Member Miller would like to see a community room built on the former nursing home
property on Fifth Street. He also supports the development of H.T. Custer Park, hoping it
becomes a premier park. He would like to see the addition of pickleball courts on the south
side of town, noting the area's need for more public amenities. Addressing the concerns about
noise, he points out that he lives near train tracks and a busy road (South Chambers Street), and
that noise is a part of his daily life. He stated his intention to vote in favor of the pickleball
courts.
Council Member Cheesman agreed with Council Member White's opinion regarding the
difficulty of making these tough decisions, emphasizing that he approaches every decision with
diligence and a commitment to doing what is right. He then outlined his personal
decision-making process, especially pertinent given the evening's agenda items. He stated that
his process begins with respecting all viewpoints, as he values diverse perspectives since they
help in providing informed decisions. He highlighted the exceptional research conducted by City
Manager Hanson and staff, who always exhaust all avenues to provide the Council with the best
information. He stated that he also conducts his own research, seeking any missing information
or unanswered questions that could influence his decision.
Council Member Cheesman further explained that he weighs the positive and negative aspects,
striving to make the best decision for the citizens and the specific situation. He acknowledged
that many respected individuals hold opposing views on these issues and that sometimes the
best decision emerges from a set of imperfect options, stressing that often there is no ideal
solution. Regarding the proposed pickleball courts, he noted that the growth in the sport is not
a fleeting trend and there is a genuine need for facilities. He pointed out that Rotary Park
possesses the necessary space and infrastructure, allowing for construction within the current
budget. Addressing the concerns about noise, he stated that he spoke with residents in the
residential area near Bateman Park, and they were not bothered by the noise. While
acknowledging it could be a potential issue, he does not feel it warrants a “no” vote. His
personal concerns included the walking path, sledding, and the parking. He stated that if the
proposal passes, these areas would require monitoring. Council Member Cheesman expressed
that considering all factors and his research, he would be voting in favor of the pickleball courts
at Rotary Park.
Mayor Schwartzman inquired if there are any components of the plan that include noise
preventative elements. City Manager Hanson discussed the substantial landscaping plans,
though specifics are still being finalized. The drawing illustrates two significant landscaping
areas, positioned on either side of the entryway on the neighborhood side of the plan. He
stated that staff also explored additional sound barrier options, but the decision not to accept a
bid for the sound barrier was based on the belief that the City could install it more
cost-effectively in-house.
August 18, 2025 Page 10 of 16
The City Manager acknowledged the valid concerns of the community and that the City aims to
be a good neighbor if the plan is approved. The intent is to continuously address any issues that
may come up, ensuring the park works well for both those utilizing it and the residents living
nearby. He also noted that there are no lights connected with this plan. If warranted, the
approval of lighting would come before the Council.

CITY MANAGER’S REPORT
City Manager Hanson announced the kickoff of the annual MDA Fill the Boot event, which will
take place on the next three Fridays. He strongly supports the initiative, noting that Galesburg is
second only to Chicago in terms of dollars raised in Illinois, and ranks among the top five in the
Midwest. He commended the tremendous efforts of the staff, noting that his family and City
staff are significant supporters. He also acknowledged the community's exceptional support and
encouraged residents to participate by donating. He thanked Chief Hovind and his staff for their
excellent work and representation of the community.

Council Member Hix moved, seconded by Council Member Acerra, to approve an agreement
with the Knox County YMCA for a one-time grant in the amount of $900,000 for the
construction of a childcare area and renovation of a teen room.
Council Member White expressed his opposition to allocating bonded money, clarifying that
“bond” refers to a loan, and believes taxpayers should not be responsible for repaying borrowed
funds given to the YMCA, especially if residents also have to pay membership fees. He
emphasized the importance of thoughtful decision-making, and given that the presentation and
the vote to allocate funds were both scheduled for the same day, he requested tabling the
discussion until the next meeting to allow for further conversation and consideration.
Council Member White moved, seconded by Council Member Hunigan, to table agenda item
25-4051.
Roll Call #12:
Ayes: Council Members Hunigan, White, and Saul, 3.
Nays: Council Members Hix, Miller, Acerra, and Cheesman, 4.
Absent: None
Chairman declared the motion failed.
Council Member White again expressed his reservations about allocating taxpayer money to a
private entity, arguing it constitutes a terrible use of City funds. He recalled a decision to
reallocate $2.5 million of the $5 million bonds towards road improvements, acknowledging he
wasn’t in favor of the proposal, but its approval directly benefited the community. He
emphasized the ongoing efforts to establish a community center, noting an upcoming discussion
with an organization that understands how to fund a center. He urged the Council to participate
August 18, 2025 Page 12 of 16
in this conversation before committing taxpayer funds. Council Member White also raised
concerns that the YMCA, which is located in Knox County, had not sought financial assistance
from the Knox County Board.
Council Member Cheesman stated that he believes that sometimes external service providers
offer superior solutions for community needs, exceeding the City's capabilities. He envisions a
multi-component community center, with the current project as one part and a potential south
side facility offering a community room and other services. He noted that amenities the City
currently provides have a cost, making a completely free model unsustainable. He highlighted
unknown operating costs for a City operated community center and advocated for partnerships
with experienced organizations for better outcomes. This project would have a one-time cost,
noting that if the City operated its own facility, it would divert funds from other critical City
needs. He also pointed out the City's difficulty in getting and retaining staff.
Council Member Miller stated that he has always supported a community center but opposes
City operation due to staffing issues, and questioned the City’s ability to offer services similar to
the YMCA. He believes the City cannot afford additional facilities given its limited budget, and
reminded the public that 51% of their tax dollars go to the School District. He feels that
government agencies should operate like a business and feels that partnering with the YMCA,
while not a complete solution, would address many issues.
Council Member Hunigan expressed his support for the YMCA but believes the decision is being
rushed. He is in favor of tabling the discussion to allow for more public input, and will be voting
against the item tonight.
Roll Call #13:
Ayes: Council Members Hix, Miller, Acerra, Saul, and Cheesman, 5.

CLOSING COMMENTS
Council Member White stated his disappointment in tonight’s votes and will be watching and
monitoring the projects.
Council Member Acerra acknowledged that many of tonight’s discussions and votes brought out
strong opinions, and she expressed her appreciation to everyone who shared their views. She
believes the new pickleball courts at Rotary Park will contribute to making the community’s
parks more inclusive and accessible to all ages. She noted that the courts would be placed a
suitable distance from residences, and that the family friendly park, with its existing splash pad
and ball field, will be enhanced with the new pickleball courts. Regarding the YMCA, she views
the decision as a good investment for children and working families, citing the YMCA’s proven
track record. She highlighted that the funding would help expand much-needed programs and
that a City operated center at Churchill was not feasible. Council Member Acerra expressed her
openness to funding a smaller initiative on the south side that would cater to all ages, and
hopes that discussions with various entities, including the YMCA, would take place regarding
potential partnerships. She believes the decisions made tonight will unify Galesburg and
strengthen the community.
Council Member Saul wished the City employee injured on Carl Sandburg Drive a positive
recovery. He shared that he understands how Council Member White feels regarding the Rotary
Park decision, and noted his opposition to the proposed pickleball courts.
Council Member Cheesman offered condolences for Sharky Younes, the 40-year manager of La
Gondola, who recently passed away. He added that he has a wonderful family and always
showed a lot of generosity toward the community. He also reflected on the Council's
challenging decisions and the strong feelings involved. He emphasized that these decisions were
made without malice and with the utmost respect, believing the choices made will ultimately
improve the community. He feels that these projects offer more opportunities, which he views
as a positive development and hopes that the Council will continue to pursue positive initiatives
and seek collaboration.
August 18, 2025 Page 14 of 16
Council Member Hix announced that this would be his last Council meeting, explaining that he
and his wife are moving out of the City limits. He expressed his gratitude to various individuals
and City Departments, thanking them for their help over the years and his gratitude for working
with them. He reflected on his time, having worked with 15 different Council Members, and
acknowledged that while he and his colleagues didn't always agree, he respected each of them.
He knows that everyone on the Council has the City's best interests at heart, even with different
philosophies. He added that he would miss being on the Council, and wished everyone well and
hoped they would continue to do what they believe is best for the City.
Council Member Hunigan announced that the Kiwanis Skate Park is currently undergoing
significant repairs as the park's structures had deteriorated to a structurally unsound condition
over the years. This week, 30 volunteers supervised by Tom Simkins, completely transformed
the park by removing old material and making the skate park almost brand new. This project
was a collaborative effort between the City and volunteers.
He also extended congratulations to the Galesburg NAACP and its volunteers for a successful
“Back to School Community Cookout” held on August 8th at Kiwanis Park. This event was
well-attended, with over 250 parents and children, with approximately 200 backpacks
distributed to students. He thanked the City, including the City Manager, City Council Members,
and the Police and Fire Chiefs, who were able to attend, despite the hot weather. He also noted
that Cooke Park hosted a similar event to welcome students back to school.
Council Member Hunigan recognized the Galesburg Historical Society, clarifying that the
organization has not disbanded, although they are actively seeking a new home. Those who
would like to assist with the organization can contact its president, Deb Sugai.
Council Member Miller had no comments.
Council Member White addressed Council Member Hix, stating that he had heard the rumor
about his move and knows they have had struggles before, but is sad to see him go.
Mayor Schwartzman stated that he was not expecting Council Member Hix's announcement,
acknowledging their six years of shared service. He recalled a past conversation between them,
highlighting it as a testament to the power of honest human connection. The Mayor thanked
Council Member Hix, particularly for his work at the Airport, stating it is in a much better place
today due to his efforts.
Mayor Schwartzman highlighted the challenging meeting, a departure from the
near-unanimous votes of the past several months. He acknowledged the significant public
participation, emphasizing his support for community input and noting that many, including his
mother, were viewing the meeting or would watch the recording at a later date. He feels that
these contributions are evidence of the community's strength and its dedication to democratic
principles. He knows that not all Council Members, including himself, endorsed every item that
was approved.
August 18, 2025 Page 15 of 16
The Mayor highlighted the many positive outcomes from the meeting, including the demolition
of a decade-long blighted house, the opening of a new downtown business, and other
developments that will bring positive things for Galesburg. He appreciated the civility
demonstrated during the meeting, a marked improvement from two years prior, and thanked
the City Manager for that. He underscored the importance of respect with each other in the
community since residents frequently encounter each other. Despite disagreements, he believes
the meeting served as a good example of how the community can move forward together.
There being no further business, Council Member Hix moved, seconded by Council Member
Miller, to adjourn the regular meeting at 8:55 p.m.

Russell Fleming, Corine Andersen, Wayne Allen, and Mike Lummis, 7. Absent: Council Member
Karen Lafferty, 1. Also present were City Clerk Kelli R. Bennewitz, Interim City Manager Craig
Whitehead, and Michael Crummer.
The Chairman declared a quorum present at 4:32 p.m.
The meeting was held for the purpose of discussing personnel and the approval of the
September 1, 2010, meeting minutes and a claim settlement (5 ILCS 120 2(c) (12) and (21).
A motion was made by Council Member Goad, seconded by Council Member Fleming, to
approve the minutes from the September 8, 2010, executive session meeting. The motion
carried.
Mayor Garza asked that Michael Crummer, the City’s former Human Resources Coordinator, give
the Council an overview of the claim settlement being offered for Council consensus approval.
Crummer addressed the Council stating that the settlement being offered is a good offer in his
professional opinion. Liability was accepted on behalf of the City by his predecessor. The suit
involved a Water Division employee that did not properly turn off a residents’ water before
performing work. Due to the mistake, the house was flooded with water causing significant
damage. Due to the damage, the homeowners stayed in a hotel at a cost of $2,000 during the
cleaning and renovation, which was paid for by their insurance company. The homeowners
further stated that their children, who suffered from asthma, have further damage caused by
the water.
The homeowners made a “no court” demand of $100,000 to the City due to the damage.
Crummer stated that when depositions were taken, the homeowners brought their children and
unfortunately, the City employees (Water Division employee and supervisor) involved were not
good witnesses on behalf of the City.
The suit was filed five years ago and the homeowners have now negotiated and settled for an
amount of $15,000. Crummer reiterated that the City has already accepted liability and that the
homeowners have requested a jury trial if the settlement is not accepted. In his opinion, the
City would likely lose in court due to the children’s damaged health.
Council Member Fleming asked if the employee and supervisor are still employed by the City.
Crummer stated that both were still employees.
November 1, 2010 Page 1 of 2
Council Member Allen stated that homeowners are given documentation that if an employee
turns off the water that there is a small chance another issue could arise. Crummer agreed that
this is the case now, but that in this instance his predecessor likely accepted the liability for
good cause.
Mayor Garza asked if there was an assurance that the case would be settled if the City agreed to
the $15,000 settlement amount. Crummer stated that he will ask the attorneys to add a
non-public disclosure notice in the settlement.
Council Member Fleming asked the homeowners’ names and address. Crummer believes their
last name was and that at the time they lived on .
Interim City Manager Whitehead recommended that the Council accept the settlement of
$15,000 to also include a non-public disclosure.
The Council was in full consensus to accept the claim settlement.
There being no further business, a motion was made by Council Member Allen, seconded by
Council Member Dennis, to adjourn the meeting to the Work Session at 4:53 p.m.

Chairman declared motion carried.
The Mayor announced that typically litigation issues between the City and its employees do not
come before Council. He asked that an update be presented so that Council would be aware of
the possible costs associated with the litigation.
Acting City Manager Cox reported that Administration is seeking approval of a settlement with a
temporary employee that was injured on the job. The settlement being recommended is
$18,620.55, which is thirty percent of the cost of the shoulder injury to the employee. Ruth
Thompson, Gallagher Bassett, has been acting as mediator on the issue.
Mayor Garza inquired about the initial settlement request. Acting City Manager Cox stated that it
was 37.5% of the total cost of the injury, or $23,000. He also noted that with these cases, only the
claims representative at Gallagher Bassett reviews the information, not the City's legal
department. It was also noted that if the issue were on a larger scale that possible outside
counsel would be brought in to review the information as well.
Council Member Dennis inquired on the employee's status. Acting City Manager Cox reported
that the employee was hired in June 2010 and was on the payroll until February 2011 but was laid
off during the winter months. He was also drawing workers compensation.
______________________________________________________________________________

The Mayor reiterated that there is no monetary threshold on these matters for the Council and no
policy in place to bring them before the Council for discussion. He recommended that a policy be
provided for clarification in the future. He also asked that Council Member Karlin assist the City
with this policy.
The consensus of the Council was to recommend that Administration proceed with the
recommended settlement.

Dennis, to adjourn the regular meeting at 6:15 p.m.

City Manager Thompson reported to Council in June 2009, the Police Department had a Toyota
truck impounded during a criminal offense involving drugs. Fox Towing took possession of the
impounded vehicle for the City and incurred $845 for towing and storage.
He noted that when the Department did a title search through LEADS, they failed to see the lien
by the bank. Fox Towing then sold the truck to a dealership in Bartonville where an attempt was
made to apply for a new title. As the lien holder, the bank was notified and instead of retrieving
the vehicle, a suit was filed against the City.
City Manager Thompson reported that the City’s Attorney, Jim Kelly, recommends the City settle
with Farmer’s State Bank for $19,000 and no court costs. He advised that this will likely be the
best settlement and the City will not incur any further costs for a trial.
It was noted that to date, the City has spent $9,983 to defend the City’s interests in the suit. Mr.
Kelly has advised that if the City settles per his recommendation he has agreed to finalize the
claim without further costs. City Manager Thompson agrees with the recommendation.
______________________________________________________________________________
November 7, 2011 Page 1 of 2
Mayor Garza inquired as to a future policy where the City would keep these vehicles for the City
auction and build in a reserve in order to get as much value as possible. City Manager
Thompson noted that current policy requires the towing company to take possession of the
vehicle.
Council Member Dennis inquired about a City lot where impounded vehicles are held without
utilizing a towing company. Council Member Karlin stated that the cost to operate a facility
would likely outweigh any cost savings by the City taking over the operation. City Manager
Thompson noted that typically the lien holder retrieves the vehicle.
Mayor Garza asked that it be investigated if the towing companies could auction the vehicles on
behalf of the City.
The consensus of the Council was to proceed with the recommendation to settle for $19,000
and no court costs.
City Manager Thompson also noted that the State of Illinois has a new system for performing
title searches that reduces the likelihood that the Police Department will overlook a lien holder
during a title search on a vehicle.
There being no further business, Council Member Goad moved, seconded by Council Member
Dennis, to adjourn the regular meeting at 6:28 p.m.

Roll Call #1: Present: Mayor Salvador Garza, Council Members Ken Goad, W. Wayne Dennis,
Russell Fleming, Corine Andersen, Peter Schwartzman, Wayne Allen, and Jeremy Karlin, 8. Also
present were City Clerk Kelli Bennewitz, City Manager Todd Thompson, and City Attorney John
Hanlon. The Chairman declared quorum present.
The Chairman declared quorum present at 5:33 p.m.
The meeting was held for the purpose of discussing the approval of the minutes from the
November 7, 2011, and January 23, 2012, executive session meetings and litigation (5 ILCS
120/2(c) (11) and (21).
Approval of the minutes of the November 7, 2011, and January 23, 2012, executive session
meeting minutes was postponed.
City Manager Thompson reported that the purpose of this meeting was to discuss an issue that
has arisen with the City’s agreement with Galesburg Cottage Hospital and their billing of the
City and its employees and the basis of those findings that could cause probable and eminent
litigation.
He explained that in March 2009, the City entered into an agreement with Cottage relating to
outpatient services for City employees. At this time, approximately thirty percent of City
employees are in the Cottage network, as opposed to the rest being in the OSF St. Mary Medical
Center network.
The point of concern relates to language for outpatient procedures. Our contract language with
Cottage states that the City agrees to pay “thirty-five percent of billed charges.” Cottage read
the language as “thirty-five percent off billed charges.” He noted that this obviously caused a
considerable difference in the total amount.
City Manager Thompson stated that within the last year, Cottage has hired a new CEO and
during a recent review of their practices, this issue came across their radar screen. They have
since asked the City what our opinion and interpretation is of the wording. Cottage’s initial
interpretation is that the wording was a typographical error in their system. City Manager
Thompson stated that neither he nor the current Benefit Coordinator were here at the time of
the contract so they went back and reviewed the language, as well as discussed the item with
the City’s internal Insurance Committee.
Thompson reported that after review, it is the City’s stand that the language should read
“thirty-five percent of billed charges” and in effect, the City should have been receiving a
sixty-five percent discount.
______________________________________________________________________________
February 6, 2012 Page 1 of 3
After meeting with Cottage CEO, Earl Tamar, it was clear that Cottage wanted to correct the
problem. The agreement with Cottage does state that after twelve months all billing is final;
however, Cottage has agreed to pay all monies owed to the City, approximately $265,000 to the
City, and $40,000 that belongs to employees. Under this agreement, Cottage would refund the
total amount to the City, who would then refund the employees.
Below are actions for the proposed agreement:
●Cottage will issue a refund in the amount of $304,532.82, which will be the full
settlement amount for the overpaid claims related to this issue.
●The City will take responsibility for refunding overpayments of coinsurance amounts
caused by the reimbursement rate error to the affected City employees and dependents.
●The City will include in its communication to its employees that the error that caused the
overpayments did not originate with the hospital, and that the hospital volunteered the
overpayment information to the City.
●Both the City and Cottage intend to renew the contract at the end of its current term
(2012).
City Manager Thompson noted that this is a significant amount of money and that over that
period, the City paid over $8 million in health claims. At the time, the hospital asked the City to
approve a formal agreement with the above stipulated, but to also keep the agreement
confidential. The City Manager made Mr. Tamar aware that the City could not formally approve
an agreement and keep it confidential due to the Freedom of Information law. They also asked
that the City automatically renew its contract, which he reported to Mr. Tamar the Council
would likely not be inclined to do without first seeking bids. It is with these things in mind that
Cottage proposes a “letter of understanding.”
City Manager Thompson proposed that the Council accept the hospital’s refund and that the
City take responsibility for refunding the employees. He will note to employees that this did not
originate with the hospital and that it is the intent of the City to work towards a contract
renewal at the end of the year. He believes it is in the best interest of both parties not to make
an issue out of the error.
Council Member Goad stated that he has never heard of any contracts between the hospitals
and the City and believes it is important for the Council to be aware of such information. City
Manager Thompson stated that in the future, such agreements and/or contracts would come
before the Council, as he believes the city manager does not have the authority to sign these
agreements. The Mayor noted that this is something that has become known over time and
Council will have full knowledge in the future, as well as the public.
Council Member Schwartzman inquired about the refund and where the funds will be
deposited. City Manager Thompson stated that the refund would go directly back into the City’s
health fund.
______________________________________________________________________________
February 6, 2012 Page 2 of 3
The Mayor stated that Administration would be initiating internal controls so that this does not
happen in the future. The City’s third-party administrator is also reevaluating their
double-check system.
Council Member Fleming inquired if OSF and Cottage offer comparable contracts. City Manager
Thompson stated that approximately seventy percent of employees are under OSF and that
they have similar billing charges.
The Mayor stated that the consensus of the Council was to proceed and have Administration
return a letter agreeing to the terms. He reiterated that there would be no formal action by
Council. There was a fear of litigation early on in the process but recommends this approach.
There being no further business, Council Member Goad moved, seconded by Council Member
Dennis, to adjourn the regular meeting at 5:54 p.m.

Thompson, Community Development Director Roy Parkin, and Economic Development Director
Cesar Suarez. The Chairman declared quorum present.
The Mayor declared a quorum present at 7:56 p.m.
The meeting was held for the purpose of discussing the approval of the minutes from the
August 20, executive session meeting and the purchase or lease of real property (5 ILCS 120/2
(c) (6) and (21).
Economic Development Director Cesar Suarez reported that he has been meeting with
regarding a proposed use for the Armory.
He distributed a summary of the project to the Council.
The proposal being submitted is an event center, which would host sporting events,
entertainment conventions, tradeshows, and other special events such as weddings and
fundraisers. The initial plan is to utilize the auditorium area as the event space and the north
side of the building for offices and possible related businesses.
The City took possession of the Armory in June 2007. The City sent out requests for proposals
in 2008 and received two proposals to convert the building into residential units. It was later
determined that the projects were not financially feasible.
Director Suarez stated that at that time, the building was put into a “preservation” mode. The
roof was replaced to prevent further deterioration and the heat and water systems were turned
off. Since 2008, due to temperature changes, humidity, and lack of circulation, the ceiling and
wall plaster has been falling off. He noted that the interior mortar and paint is flaking, mold and
small roof leaks have formed. He also stated that a new boiler system might be needed.
During this time, has agreed to clean up the building while they conduct their
inspection and identified costs to lease and purchase the building.
Director Suarez discussed Exhibit A, showing common space and proposed lease space for the
building.
Exhibit B detailed the occupancy and lease rate based on square footage. The south side of the
building shows the auditorium, 2nd floor north and south balconies, first floor frontage area
(restrooms and office), and 2nd floor frontage areas of offices and a utility room. The north
______________________________________________________________________________

building, 1st floor only, would include the kitchen, dining room and supply room. Total leased
space would be 16,217 square feet. Lease rate is estimated at $9,000 per year, plus a City Ticket
Fee of $1.00 per person per event, as suggested by .
Director Suarez discussed Exhibit C, which includes property improvements, repairs and capital
costs by the tenant, landlord, and larger items under capital costs. Total improvement costs are
estimated at $311,125. He added that all items are negotiable and that the tenant would get
credit for any capital improvements in a lease to purchase option. It was noted that the boiler
may need to be replaced once it has been turned on and certified. In addition, no exterior
improvements can be made without the approval of the Illinois Historic Preservation
Association.
Council Members expressed parking concerns, as there could be approximately 1,800 visitors to
the venue at an event. Director Suarez noted that various City-owned public lots surrounding
the Armory and off-street parking are available.
He also noted that the square footage estimate is based on a 2007 appraisal. A new appraisal
would be conducted prior to a lease agreement.
Director Suarez also noted that would be seeking a liquor license as part of the
Armory project. The City’s attorney is reviewing the lease and its terms at this time.
entered the meeting at 8:45 p.m. They distributed an executive
summary of the proposed Galesburg event center. gave a brief background of
himself and the company. He also gave the Council historical information on similar ventures he
has undertaken.

option to buy. The main objective of the project is to convert the Armory into an event center

The renovations will be completed by . They would like to have several
items complete so that they can host their first event on December 15, 2012. The renovation
would include the following: kitchen, drill floor, VIP rooms, foyer, restrooms, and stairwells.
Several key concerns for the building include the asbestos, mold, updating the fire alarm
system, boiler and roof leaks. also noted that he would require a liquor license to
accommodate their events and reiterated that they would like to host an event on December
15th.
Other aspects of the project will include the hiring of twelve full time positions within a year,
including sales, marketing and leasing specialists. He also hopes to work with the colleges and
first responders on events. The building will also boast high-tech lighting, cameras, televisions,
______________________________________________________________________________

and video equipment. He added that the occupancy at this time is 1,320 people but they are
aiming to allow 1,800.
Council Member Goad noted that once open, would need to coordinate events
with other local venues. stated that they do not intend to compete with other
various local event schedules.
Council Member Fleming inquired about ticket prices. stated that eighty percent
of the tickets would be general admission tickets at $25-30; fifteen percent are admissions with
tables at $35; and seats near the cage would be sold at $50 per ticket. These tickets allot for
approximately five percent of the sales.
The Mayor noted that is interested in a short-term lease with the option to buy
within approximately six months. He also added that he would recommend that staff take
BASETT (liquor serving) training, which is offered through the State of Illinois via local
representatives from the City.
City Manager Thompson stated that possibly a two-year lease giving the City the first right of
refusal could be negotiated. The tenant would get credit for improvements made.
left the meeting at 9:35 p.m.
The consensus of the Council was to pursue the lease agreement and bring it before Council for
formal approval at the next City Council meeting.
Council Member Andersen added that the use of local contractors should be stressed for the
renovation project, as well as optional heating alternatives for energy conservation.
Council Member Schwartzman noted that safety and parking would need to be investigated, as
it could be a concern with the large number of anticipated patrons.

Dennis, to adjourn to the regular meeting at 9:45 p.m.

Workers’ Compensation Settlement
City Manager Thompson reported that in April 2011, a temporary Parks Division employee
lacerated her middle finger after it came in contact with a weed trimmer that was being used by
another employee. The finger was later amputated at the first joint and she was temporarily
disabled from April 27 through May 15, 2011, and permanently partially disabled thereafter.
The City Manager explained that there are regulations set by the Illinois Board of Workers’
Compensation that limits the dollar value of permanent partial disability awards. This is based
on a formula for the affected body part and the employee’s past earnings.
An initial settlement offer of $4,250 was made to the employee through Gallagher Bassett
Services (City’s TPA), and was rejected. It was subsequently realized by Gallagher Bassett
Services that they were basing the offer on the wrong formula. The City’s TPA has since made
an offer of $10,627.76 based on a sixty percent loss of the use of the left middle finger. This
would be a lump sum settlement to close the case.
The offer has been accepted by the employee and the City Manager is seeking approval from
the City Council. If not approved, the City would be required to go to arbitration before the
______________________________________________________________________________
November 19, 2012 Page 1 of 3
Board of Workers’ Compensation, which would mean additional attorney’s fees and a possible
unfavorable settlement.
The consensus of the Council was to accept the settlement.
Sale or Lease of Armory Property
The Mayor announced that he pulled the Armory item off the last agenda due to the need for
additional information and due diligence. He stated that several Council members have been
receiving calls regarding “checkered” past and recent financial problems. It has
been discovered that he has past disorderly conduct charges and orders of protection filed
against him. For this reason, an in-depth background check is being completed.
The Mayor added that financial stability is questionable and he did not want the
Council to be blindsided after an approval for the lease was made. This information is crucial to
the decision making process for this project.
City Manager Thompson stated that has made many improvements to the Armory
at his expense and risk. He is claiming that these improvements have cost approximately
$30,000 - $40,000.
The Mayor added that his home is in foreclosure and that his business license has been revoked
for inactive status. He also stated that their December event has been moved to January.
It was discussed that if the building were to be sold by the City, the same auction process would
be used as with any other City property. The draft agreement with allows for the
right of first refusal on his behalf should a higher bid be received for the property.
The Mayor stated that once a full picture of is gained the Council would be given
the information and a chance to make a decision on whether or not to proceed with the project.
He added that he does not want the City’s reputation damaged and though we are eager to
repurpose the building, it should not be in haste. will need to prove that he can do
what he has offered to do with the property based on his history with other projects.
It was the Council’s consensus to wait until more information on financial status
and credit report can be received before a decision to proceed is made.

Dennis, to adjourn to the regular meeting at 6:08 p.m.

Worker’s Compensation Settlement
David Jones, Human Resources and Risk Manager, reported that in July 2010, Richard Hanson,
maintenance worker for the Recreation Division, was injured causing a severe injury to the left
hand and fracturing the left thumb. The course of treatment has included two surgeries on the
thumb. Mr. Hanson was temporarily totally disabled until his retirement in January 2011. He is
currently permanently partially disabled due to the loss of the full use of his left thumb.
Mr. Jones explained that the Illinois Board of Workers’ Compensation limits the dollar value of
permanent partial disability awards using a formula based on the affected body part and the
employee’s past earnings. He also noted that Mr. Hanson has retained an attorney and made a
demand based on 70% of the usage of the thumb. The City’s third-party workers’ compensation
administrator, Gallagher Bassett Services, has negotiated a settlement of $17,734.22 based on
35% usage of the thumb. This would be a lump sum settlement to close the case.
Mr. Jones’ recommendation to the Council is to accept the settlement of $17,734.22.
The consensus of the Council was to accept the proposed settlement amount.
Public Safety Employees’ Organization (PSEO) Contract
City Manager Thompson stated that four unresolved issues (wages, additional personal day,
education incentive pay, and employee health care contributions) were submitted to binding

Housing Project
City Manager Thompson reported that the City has been contacted by the Miller Valentine
Group regarding a possible housing project, similar to the one proposed by Kyle Bach, Mecca
Companies, in 2009. They are interested in developing single-family housing with a lease to
purchase program. The developer would apply for low income housing tax credits and utilize
those to develop approximately forty single-family houses. Miller Valentine would also be
looking at possibly purchasing some residential units and rehabilitating them, but mostly it
would be new construction.
Director Parkin reported that the developer’s targeted area is located west of Michigan Avenue
and north of the Knox County Housing Authority complex, and the second area is located south
of East Knox Street and north of Grand Avenue from Indiana Avenue easterly to Wisconsin
Avenue. He noted that the units are leased/rented out for fifteen years and then the occupant
of the unit has the option to acquire it.
Director Parkin reported that in order to move forward, the developer would need to gain
control of vacant lots in the target area. The City has twenty-three lots in the area that the
developer would need to obtain to make the project viable. He noted that there is not
sufficient time to go through the normal sale of City-owned property since the developer’s
application is due to the IL Housing Development Authority in July. They have asked the City to
transfer ownership of the sites through a purchase agreement instead of the bid process. The
______________________________________________________________________________
May 13, 2013 Page 1 of 3
Knox County Trustee also has four to five lots that the developer is interested in and they have
proposed that the City purchase them and include in the transfer of ownership.
Director Parkin also stated that the developer has asked for incentives such as property tax
abatement, a waiver of all permit fees, and a reduced purchase price for the City lots. He noted
that he would recommend a TIF incentive instead of tax abatement. Discussion was held on this
recommendation regarding the increment, current value of the homes, and the parcels inside
and outside the TIF area.
Council Member Karlin inquired as to the pros and cons of the development. Director Parkin
noted that this would provide nice housing for low income families and individuals and allow
them to purchase a home at a reduced price, could offer significant improvement to the
neighborhood, the City would not be maintaining the property, and could possibly generate
other improvements in the area. He noted that some of the complaints that would be received
could include that the homes are low income/tax credit homes, neighbors don’t want
low-income housing in their neighborhood, and that it could possibly eliminate some of the
need for already established public housing.
City Manager Thompson also noted that the development would provide construction jobs and
management jobs.
Council Member Andersen stated that this would be appealing to a niche market of low income
families. She inquired if there were income restrictions. Director Parkin stated that there is and
that it is a higher standard than the housing authority. Most individuals leasing will be
employed yet unable to obtain a home loan or rehab an existing home.
Discussion was held on the funding, noting that it is federal dollars through a low income tax
credit program, administered by the Illinois Department of Housing Authority. It is a very
competitive program and in order to obtain higher ratings on the State application, the
developer is proposing to concentrate the project in one neighborhood of the City.
Mayor Pritchard asked if prevailing wage would be required for this project. Director Parkin
stated that at the current time, prevailing wage would have to be paid for any construction. He
noted that there has been a court ruling on this and that legal could make a recommendation to
follow the court ruling or current TIF policy. Administration and legal will discuss for future
reference.
Council Member Fleming stated that he is not in favor of the housing being built all in one area
and would recommend that some of the lots be left open for private development, which may
happen once the neighborhood begins to improve.
Council Member Allen stated that the developer may team up with the Knox County Housing
Authority in order to obtain more tax credits and to manage the properties. He added that this
project would be going in a blighted area, provides nice housing and is definitely better than
______________________________________________________________________________
May 13, 2013 Page 2 of 3
what is currently in this neighborhood (empty lots). Council Member Allen stated that he would
be in favor of the TIF incentive instead of abatement for the lots inside the TIF only.
Discussion was held on the number of bedrooms for the units and the process to which
someone loses the home in a default situation.
The consensus of the Council was to proceed with the project and to offer the incentive for lots
inside the TIF, purchase the Knox County Trustee lots, and not waive the permit fees.
Community Center
City Manager Thompson reported that he has met with Mark Kleine regarding the purchase of
the Community Center and noted that the TIF incentive is not critical to the project and that he
is still interested in moving forward with the development. City Manager Thompson is seeking
approval to begin the sales contract with a start and end date and investment information
included.
Council was in favor of moving forward with the sales contract and approval at the next City
Council meeting (May 20, 2013).
Council Member Goad reminded Council of the sensitive information discussed during Executive
Session meetings and that all information needs to remain confidential.
There being no further business, Council Member Goad moved, seconded by Council Member
Dennis, to adjourn to the regular meeting at 8:18 p.m.

City Manager Thompson reported that this meeting was being held to discuss the suit filed by
regarding a traffic accident with a police officer on April
12, 2012.
David Jones, Risk Manager, reported that a suit was filed on April 5, 2013, by
seeking damages of $50,000 and $92,500 respectively. Two separate claims were filed
in the suit. The City authorized Gallagher Bassett Services to enter into negotiations with the
individuals in order to settle the lawsuits without going to trial, and negotiations are nearing
completion.
Mr. Jones stated that based on the claimant , Gallagher Bassett has successfully
negotiated a $30,000 settlement and is close to a negotiated settlement with , which
could likely end up at approximately $60,000. These sums represent payments of medical
expenses only. There is sufficient funding in the Risk Management budget for these items.
It is Mr. Jones and City Manager Thompson’s recommendation that Council authorize the
settlement of these liability claims.
Consensus of Council was to settle the two claims, and if the Johnson claim is higher than the
$60,000 settlement, Council will be contacted again.

Roll Call #1: Physically Present: Mayor John T. Pritchard, Council Members Bradley Hix, Wayne
Dennis, Corine Andersen, Wayne Allen, and Larry Cox, 8. Present via Google Meet: Council
Members Hillery and Schwartzman, 2. Also Present: City Manager Todd Thompson, City Attorney
Bradley Nolden, and City Clerk Kelli Bennewitz.
Mayor Pritchard called the meeting to order at 6:33 p.m.
City Attorney Brad Nolden stated that this meeting was to discuss possible property acquisition of
29 Public Square (the former Broadview).
The Mayor stated that with many Council Members not attending meetings in person, he has
asked the City Clerk to mail copies of the executive session minutes so that they can be approved
at the next meeting.
City Attorney Nolden stated that he has been regularly monitoring the status of the former
Broadview Hotel property located at 29 Public Square. This property deteriorated from a budget
hotel into a poorly run boarding house until it was permanently closed in May. City staff have
attempted to secure the property, but it remains a target of squatters and vandals.
Nolden reported to the Council that he recently attended a court proceeding regarding the
outstanding taxes on the property. These proceedings are triggered by tax buyers who invest in tax
certificates when an owner fails to pay real estate taxes. Typically, their goal is to get the owner to
redeem the taxes as the tax buyer receives a 12% return on their investment in the tax certificate
on all redemptions. However, if a tax buyer receives three years’ worth of certificates for a parcel,
they can seek a deed and take ownership of the property. They will typically take this action when
they expect they can make a profit on the resale or redevelopment of a parcel.
The tax certificate purchaser for 29 Public Square was . is one of the
most prolific tax buyers in the area and we typically interact a few times each year when he or his
daughter seeks tax deeds. Prior to the hearing, he had been in contact with both of them about
their intentions.
The owner (Beena LLC) did not appear or redeem the outstanding taxes. Redemption would have
cost a total of $189,465.01. After discussing the property with the it is likely that the
City can acquire the property for approximately $190,000. would have a clear title
and the ability to complete a transaction in early 2021. The purchase would proceed in a typical
fashion where the City Council votes on a real estate purchase contract.
City Manager Thompson stated that there could be a possibility of redeveloping the property or
demolishing it and having it used as green space. He noted that at one time there was interest in
possibly having a developer build a hotel. He recommended that the Council move forward with
the possible purchase.

City Council Meeting
Agenda Item Overview
September 2, 2025
AGENDA ITEM: Replacement of Bus Shelter at McKnight Street & McClure Street Intersection
SUMMARY RECOMMENDATION: The City Manager, Director of Community Development,
Transit Manager/PCOM and Purchasing Agent recommend waiving normal purchasing policies
and approving a quote in the amount of $25,633.00 from Duo Guard Industries for replacement
of a bus shelter located at the intersection of McClure and McKnight Streets.
BACKGROUND: On May 18, 2025, a single car accident occurred in which an individual hit the
existing shelter at the intersection of McClure and McKnight Streets. Many glass panels on the
shelter were destroyed along with the frame being completely bent rendering the shelter a
complete loss. Pictures were taken for insurance evidence and then the shelter was removed by
City workforces.
The City Purchasing Agent sent out a quote request for the replacement of this shelter with a
similar sized shelter. The existing shelter was 14’7.5” x 7’5”. The request stated that the quote
should include installation of the shelter. A total of three quotes meeting shelter specifications
were received as follows:
Company Cost of Shelter Installation Included
Duo Guard Industries $25,633.00 Yes
Brasco International, Inc $21,025.00 No
Handi-Hut $17,500.00 No
25-4052
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Prepared by: KDB Page 2 of 2
As shown in the table above, only Duo Guard submitted a quote that included the cost of
installation for the shelter. Their cost to install the shelter was $8,022.00 which is reflected in
the price.
The Transit Manager/PCOM provided the accident report, photos, and quotes to the auto
owner’s insurance company for review and approval of reimbursement. In a phone conversation
on 08/19/25, the insurance company representative agreed to pay for the replacement of the
shelter with installation at the quoted price from Duo Guard Industries. They confirmed mailing
address for the City and stated they would be issuing a check for the replacement amount.
Given this information, City staff recommend approval of the quote from Duo Guard Industries
which includes installation of the shelter.
BUDGET IMPACT: There will be no budget impact for this purchase and installation as the City
will receive reimbursement for the cost of this replacement.

Agenda Item Overview
September 2, 2025
AGENDA ITEM: Amendment to Section 113.043 (A) of Chapter 113 of the Galesburg Municipal
Code regarding the limitation on the number of Class A-1 liquor licenses.
SUMMARY RECOMMENDATION: The Liquor Commissioner, City Manager, and City Clerk
recommend approval of the ordinance.
BACKGROUND: Judy’s Kitchen, LLC, d/b/a Judy’s Kitchen, 51 North Prairie Street, received a
Class D (restaurant) liquor license. However, they have asked to change to a Class A-1
(bar/tavern) license so that they have the ability to sell liquor at retail.
This change would allow for a collaboration between Judy’s Kitchen, LLC and Reserve Artisan
Ales to create a signature “Judy’s Berry Medley Pancake Sour Ale.” They intend to sell this beer
for on premise consumption at this location, but would also like to offer the packaged alcohol at
retail.
According to Judy’s staff, many of the guests that they have the privilege of serving are from out
of town and they hope to capitalize on these visitors. The ability to sell packaged retail alcohol
would increase sales and allow for visitors to take a little of Galesburg and Judy’s Kitchen home
with them for future enjoyment.
BUDGET IMPACT: $2,850 annually.

Agenda Item Overview
September 2, 2025
AGENDA ITEM: Resolution authorizing the purchase of eighteen Knox County Trustee parcels.
SUMMARY RECOMMENDATION: The City Manager, Director of Community Development, and
Code Compliance Supervisor recommend approval of a resolution.
BACKGROUND: The Knox County Trustee, on behalf of all taxing districts, acquired title to the
properties located at 46 N Pearl (99-11-378-002), 99 N Elm (99-12-378-013), 123 Phillips (99-11-
480-002), 153 Fulton (99-11-381-016), 203 Pine (99-14-204-027), 362 N Broad (99-10-403-043),
470-478 W South (99-15-154-015), 714 Mulberry (99-14-128-001), 721 Peck (99-11-329-001),
794 E Berrien (99-14-178-006), 862 S Seminary (99-15-428-013), 946 S Seminary (99-15-477-011),
1057 Emery (99-16-384-010), 175 N Cherry (99-10-478-003), 179 N Cherry (99-10-478-002), 193
N Cherry (99-10-478-014), 2069 Windish Dr (99-02-152-004) and 1786 Bateman (99-02-301-016).
The Knox County Trustee has agreed to convey the properties to the City of Galesburg for $823
each, which covers the cost of acquisition and conveyance through the county’s Tax Liquidation
Program. Acquisition would allow the city to expedite the demolition process and then offer
properties deemed as surplus during one of our annual spring sales so they can be placed back
into productive use. For example, selling to a neighbor to expand a yard. This would alleviate the
city of maintenance cost going forward.
The City is currently seeking demolition orders through Knox County Court for the properties at
99 N Elm, 362 N Broad, 714 Mulberry, 862 S Seminary, and 1057 Emery. The City has placarded
the properties at 153 Fulton, 203 Pine, 794 E Berrien, and 1786 Bateman as uninhabitable. The
property at 2069 Windish was demolished by the City in FY 25. The properties at 175,179,193 N
Cherry were demolished by the City in FY 25 and will be assessed as part of the recently received
Federal EPA Assessment grant. 46 N Pearl, 123 Phillips, 470-478 W South, 721 Peck, and 946 S
Seminary have been vacant for many years and are in a dilapidated condition. The city plans to
put the demolition of the properties out for bid in 2025
BUDGET IMPACT: There are applicable funds available in Property Redevelopment (Fund 23) for
the acquisition of all eighteen properties.

Agenda Item Overview

AGENDA ITEM: Service Agreement between Carl Sandburg College & Galesburg Public
Transportation
SUMMARY RECOMMENDATION: The City of Galesburg’s Public Transportation Advisory
Commission held a meeting on August 14, 2025, and unanimously recommended approval to
renew an updated service agreement between the City of Galesburg and Carl Sandburg College.
The City Manager, Director of Community Development, and Transit Manager concur with
their recommendation. The renewal of this service contract between these entities will
continue to make more State funds available to fund public transportation for the City.
BACKGROUND: Per the terms of this agreement, CSC will compensate the City $7,400.00 for
unlimited rides for CSC students, faculty, and staff on the City of Galesburg fixed route bus
service from September 2025 – June 2027. This is an extended agreement in order to make the
agreement coincide with the State Fiscal year for convenience of reporting. This service
contract would not change any routes or frequency thereof to the CSC campus. Students,
faculty, and staff will continue to use their CSC Student/Employee ID to access the buses, and
CSC will issue new IDs (for new students) and a distinctive sticker that is not able to be
replicated for current students.
This service contract allows the payment from CSC to be counted as local match rather
than program revenue. As a local match, the contract amount will allow the City to utilize more
of the Downstate Operation Assistance Program (DOAP) funds allocated by the State of
Illinois. DOAP funds cover 65% of all transit operating costs for the City.
If approved, City of Galesburg Public Transportation will track the ridership of CSC
students between September 2025 and June 2027. At the end of the contract, the data
gathered will be evaluated and a proposed contract amount would be considered by PTAC
and City Council for 2027/2028 service contract.

and promptly notified GRAHAM so as to allow the GRAHAM to prevent the
disclosure of such information.
8.4. Upon termination of GPT’s engagement, GPT will deliver to GRAHAM copies of
any and all reports, records, correspondence, documents and other dates

containing Confidential Information. The provisions of this Section shall survive
the termination of this Agreement for any reason.
9. Access to Information. To the extent that the services provided under this Agreement are

PARATRANSIT RIDE INFORMATION AND RULES
Scheduling an Appointment - When scheduling a Paratransit appointment, please give your
complete ORIGIN street address and the complete DESTINATION street address. All
appointments and/or schedule changes must be called in to the City of Galesburg Transit office.
Paratransit drivers do not take any appointments for pickups, or schedule changes aboard the
vehicle.
Cancellations - Cancellations should be made as soon as possible by calling the City of
Galesburg Transit office at 309/345-3686 (Voice/TTY).
Return Trips - Requests for return pickups must be called in before 5:00 p.m. when the office
closes unless prior arrangements were made for a late pickup time.
Pick Up Times - The rider must be ready at least 15 minutes prior to the Paratransit pick-up
time. If the rider is not ready when the driver arrives, the driver will leave. The driver will not
return for passengers who were not ready.
Personal Care Attendants- The Paratransit program does not provide escorts or Personal Care
Attendants for riders. Riders needing any assistance must provide their own escort/PCA.
Escorts/PCAs must be physically and mentally able to assist the rider. Paratransit clients cannot
act as escorts or PCAs for other registered Paratransit clients. One PCA is permitted to travel
with a Paratransit rider. The PCA will be treated as a mobility device and will ride without
charge.
Paratransit requires that eligible riders indicate the need for a PCA at the time of the certification
(or when scheduling ride). A family member or friend is regarded as a person accompanying the
eligible rider and not as a PCA unless the individual is acting as a Personal Care Attendant. The
person acting as a PCA must be physically and mentally able to assist the rider and be at least
12 years old.
Children Using Paratransit Services - Children using Paratransit services as a registered rider
must be accompanied by an adult. Child seats cannot be accommodated aboard the vehicles
because of the configuration of the seats and seat belts.
Transportation of Oxygen - Paratransit will only transport oxygen tanks that are secured to the
back of a wheelchair or mobility device; or are the personal, portable oxygen units that hang
from a strap. When reserving a Paratransit trip, please indicate the type of oxygen equipment
you use.
Rider Responsibility - Riders (or escorts) are responsible for their own personal belongings such
as, but not limited to, luggage, oxygen tanks, parcels, and support equipment (i.e. walkers).
Riders are responsible for their own wheelchairs or mobility devices. The Paratransit program
does not provide wheelchairs for riders. Riders are responsible for maintenance on their
wheelchair or mobility device. Drivers do not repair or charge batteries on battery-operated
mobility devices.
Riders who exhibit violent or other extreme behavior and threaten the safety of the driver or
other passengers will not be tolerated aboard the Paratransit vehicles. If the rider does not leave
the vehicle voluntarily, the police will be called and individual will be removed from the vehicle.
Personal Care Attendants and escorts cannot ride without the client present.
Riders and their escorts/PCAs area asked not to smoke, use snuff or smokeless tobacco, drink,
or eat aboard the Paratransit vehicle.
Riders are responsible for their own medications and paperwork. Drivers do not administer
medications to riders or keep track of a client's paperwork.
Wheelchair or Scooter - Paratransit will transport a wheelchair and its user, as long as the lift
can accommodate the size and weight of the passenger and the wheelchair, and there is space
for the wheelchair on the vehicle. However, Paratransit is not required to carry a wheelchair if
the lift or vehicle is unable to accommodate the wheelchair and its user, consistent with
legitimate safety requirements according to the lift manufacturers.
Service Animals - Service animals are defined under DOT regulations as "any guide dog, signal
dog, or other animals individually trained to work or perform tasks for an individual with a
disability." Service dogs are transported aboard the Paratransit vehicle. Comfort or emotional
support animals are also transported aboard Paratransit, however, if there is an objection to the
"comfort animal" by either the passengers or the driver the rider may not take their comfort
animal aboard. An example of this would be a pet boa constrictor, which others might find
disconcerting having to ride on the vehicle with them. For more information call the City of
Galesburg Transit at 345-3686 during regular office hours.
No Show Policy - Paratransit service will be suspended for a period of two weeks if an individual
misses scheduled appointments 3 times during a 3-month period. This provision does not apply
to trips that are missed for reasons that are beyond the individual's control. The rider will receive
written notice of any action taken and the basis for the suspension.
