CITY COUNCIL MEETING
City Manager’s Report
November 17, 2025
CONSENT AGENDA #2025-22
Item 25-3046 Purchase & installation of a Dump Body, Snow Plow and Salt Spreader
Staff recommend approval of a bid to purchase a dump body, snowplow, and salt spreader from
Knapheide Truck Equipment for $85,035. This purchase is part of the replacement of a class 7
dump truck for the Park Division, scheduled for 2026. Due to high demand and long lead times
for large dump trucks, the bid process was initiated early. In September 2025, a bid was issued
for the cab/chassis, resulting in the purchase of a 2026 Freightliner 108SD Plus, with delivery
expected in December 2025. The components will be fabricated and installed on the new truck.
Four bids were received, with Knapheide providing the lowest and best bid. The completed truck
is expected to be in service by March 2026. The purchase will be funded through the Vehicle
Replacement Fund (Fund 58).
Item 25-3047 Demolition of 224-240 South Seminary Street
Staff recommend awarding the demolition and clean-up of 224-240 S Seminary Street to D&T
Demolition LLC for $129,340. The property, acquired by the City, consists of commercial buildings
deemed not economically feasible for restoration. Demolition is considered the most cost-
effective option for redeveloping the vacant properties. A request for bids was advertised, and
five vendors responded. D&T Demolition LLC submitted the lowest and best bid, which has been
reviewed and deemed reasonable by city staff. The project will be funded through TIF IV (Fund
49).
Item 25-4070 Lease with Jefferson Lines for use of Station at 225 South Seminary Street
Staff recommend approving a lease agreement with Jefferson Partners L.P., doing business as
Jefferson Lines, for use of the depot at Colton Park. This lease will replace the previous agreement
with Burlington Trailways, which ended in September when Trailways discontinued its scheduled
bus service. Jefferson Lines, an established intercity bus company serving 14 states, has taken
over some of Trailways' former routes, including those in and out of Galesburg. The lease terms
are similar to the previous arrangement with Trailways and include Jefferson Lines covering a
portion of utility costs while allowing their passengers to use the station's waiting area and
amenities. A similar lease is in place with Amtrak. Maintenance of Colton Park and the depot is
currently included in the Park Division budget, but it will transition to a new Buildings and
Grounds budget in 2026.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Page 2 of 5
Item 25-4071 Rescue Mission Service Contract with Galesburg Public Transportation
Staff recommend approving a service contract between the City of Galesburg Public
Transportation and the Galesburg Rescue Mission to provide discounted pricing on both single
and punch passes for the fixed route system. Under this agreement, the Rescue Mission will
receive a 25% discount on pass purchases, allowing them to distribute passes to individuals who
lack transportation and resources to buy passes. This contract will also help reduce the City’s
local match responsibility for state funding. Payments from the Rescue Mission will count as local
match, enabling the City to utilize more of the Downstate Operating Assistance Program (DOAP)
funds, which cover 65% of transit operating costs. The discounted rates will be $0.45 for a single
pass (down from $0.60) and $3.75 for a 10-punch pass (down from $5.00). This arrangement will
limit the City’s contribution to the public transportation budget by converting these revenues
into local match.
Item 25-4072 Safe Harbor Service Contract with Galesburg Public Transportation
Staff recommend approving a service contract between the City of Galesburg Public
Transportation and Safe Harbor to provide discounted pricing on both single and punch passes
for the fixed route system. Safe Harbor will distribute the discounted passes to individuals who
lack transportation options and the resources to purchase passes. The 25% discount will apply to
both single passes ($0.45, down from $0.60) and 10-punch passes ($3.75, down from $5.00).
Payments made by Safe Harbor will count as local match funding, allowing the City to access
more Downstate Operating Assistance Program (DOAP) funds, which cover 65% of the City’s
transit operating costs. This contract helps reduce the City’s local match responsibility, ultimately
limiting its contribution to the public transportation budget.
Item 25-4073 Salvation Army Service Contract with Galesburg Public Transportation
Staff recommend approving a service contract between the City of Galesburg Public
Transportation and the Salvation Army to provide discounted pricing on both single and punch
passes for the fixed route system. The Salvation Army will distribute the discounted passes to
individuals who are unable to afford them or access other transportation options. The 25%
discount will reduce the price of single passes to $0.45 (from $0.60) and 10-punch passes to $3.75
(from $5.00). Payments from the Salvation Army will count as local match funding, enabling the
City to leverage more Downstate Operating Assistance Program (DOAP) funds, which cover 65%
of transit operating costs. This service contract will help reduce the City's local match
responsibility, ultimately limiting its contribution to the public transportation budget.
Item 25-4074 Thrive Community Service Contract with Galesburg Public Transportation
Staff recommend approving a service contract between the City of Galesburg Public
Transportation and Thrive Community Services to provide paratransit services. The contract
allows Thrive's payments to be counted as local match funding, which will help the City maximize
its use of Downstate Operating Assistance Program (DOAP) funds. DOAP funds cover 65% of the
City's transit operating costs. By counting Thrive’s payments as local match, this contract will
reduce the City’s contribution to the public transportation budget.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Page 3 of 5
Item 25-8021 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 25-1018 2025 Property Tax Levy (Final Reading)
Staff recommend the City Council approve the 2025 Property Tax Levy Ordinance, which
establishes a levy request of $10,871,732, representing a decrease in the tax rate, and an increase
of 4.00% in total dollars collected compared to the 2024 tax levy extension. The 4% change in the
dollars collected stems from the increase in estimated assessed value (EAV) of properties within
the City. The City’s proposed tax rate is approximately $2.350, which is a $0.037 decrease from
the prior year’s tax rate. This is the lowest City tax rate since 2008, with the rates for the last
three years coming in at $2.38705 for the current 2024 levy; $2.4438 for the 2023 levy; and
$2.4451 for the 2022 levy. The levy is used to support critical city operations, including the
General Fund, Park & Recreation Fund, and IMRF obligations. A large percentage is dedicated to
Police and Fire Pensions, as well as 18.6% going to the Galesburg Public Library. The levy will be
collected in 2026, with the majority of funds received in June and September.
Item 25-1019 2025 Special Service Area (SSA) 1 Property Tax Levy (Final Reading)
Staff recommend approval of the Special Service Area Tax Levy Ordinance for 2025. This levy,
established by Special Ordinance No. 75-4 on January 20, 1975, originally set a flat rate of $1 per
$100 of equalized assessed value to fund maintenance services in the downtown area. In 1995,
the Downtown Council requested a replacement tax of $1.50 per $100 of equalized assessed
value to cover operational expenses, which was approved and levied for a period of 10 years. In
2013, the City Council extended the $1.50 tax for another 10 years, and in 2023, a further
extension was approved through the 2024 property tax levy (payable in 2025). The tax levy must
be approved before being filed with the Knox County Clerk by the last Tuesday in December 2025.
Item 25-1020 Sale of Surplus Firearms (First Reading)
Staff recommend approval of a special ordinance authorizing the sale of surplus firearms from
the Police Department. The department has accumulated various firearms over time, including
those no longer in use and confiscated weapons from non-violent crimes. These firearms,
including pistols and rifles, will be sold through a licensed federal firearms dealer (FFL), ensuring
all applicable laws and regulations are followed. A list of the firearms to be sold is included in the
ordinance, and prices will be set by the FFL dealer. Additionally, officers will have the opportunity
to purchase their recently replaced Sig Sauer P320 handguns at an agreed price, with the City
receiving a percentage of those sales. The sale is expected to generate approximately $40,000,
which will help offset the recent purchase of Glock 47 firearms for patrol officers. This special
ordinance requires two readings by the City Council, with final approval prior to solicitation.
BIDS, PETITIONS AND COMMUNICATIONS
CITY MANAGER’S REPORT
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Page 4 of 5
MISCELLANEOUS BUSINESS (Agreements, Approvals, Etc.)
Item 25-4075 Local Landmark Designation for 325 North Prairie Street
The Landmark Commission recommends approval of the local landmark designation for 325 N
Prairie St, following a unanimous vote (5-0) at the November 4, 2025, public hearing. The home,
built in 1891 for James Edwin Webster, a local businessman, and his daughter Inez Webster, is
nominated for its historical significance. Inez’s contributions, including her work during WWI and
with the Near East Relief Service, add to the home's value. The designation will preserve the
property’s character, with any visible improvements requiring a Certificate of Appropriateness
under the Historic Preservation Ordinance. There is no budget impact, and the designation will
help preserve Galesburg’s heritage while supporting property values and tourism.
Item 25-4076 Administrative Adjudication Hearing Officer Agreements
Staff recommend approval of two agreements for Administrative Adjudication Hearing Officers;
one with H. Wayne Statham as the primary officer and another with John Robertson of Barash &
Everett, LLC as the substitute officer. These agreements ensure continuous operation of the City’s
Administrative Adjudication Program, which was established in 2015 to handle local ordinance
violations efficiently. The program processes approximately 1,500 cases annually, providing an
expedited process for handling ordinance violations and addressing nuisance issues. Both
Statham and Robertson are qualified attorneys with a strong record of service to the City. They
will each be compensated $200 per hour for their services, effective January 2026. The
agreements ensure the program's uninterrupted operation by having both a primary and
substitute officer. The cost for these services is covered by the legal, professional services
account in the budget.
Item 25-4077 Tourism Promotion Agreement & Lease with Galesburg Tourism & Visitors
Bureau
Staff recommend approval of a two-year Tourism Agreement between the City and the Galesburg
Tourism and Visitors Bureau (GTVB) from January 1, 2026, to December 31, 2027. The City will
allocate $190,000 annually from hotel-motel tax revenues to support GTVB’s tourism marketing
program. The new agreement shortens the term to allow for a transition period while GTVB
recruits a new director. A termination clause allows either party to end the agreement with 30
days notice. GTVB will also lease 2163 East Main Street as a Welcome Center, with the lessee
responsible for utilities, cleaning, and maintenance, while the City will maintain the parking lot
and grounds. Funding for the 2026 agreement is included in the proposed City Budget.
Item 25-4078 Springbrook Maintenance Fees
Staff recommend waiving normal purchasing policies and approving the fiscal year 2026
maintenance fees for the Springbrook government-wide software used by the City. This software
streamlines various organizational processes, reducing duplication and creating a more efficient
database. The City currently uses a range of Springbrook modules, including Accounts Payable,
Payroll, Utility Billing, and more, to manage operations across departments. Annual maintenance
fees are required to receive support and software updates, with the fee for fiscal year 2026
totaling $92,982.73 for all modules and services. The Director of Finance is authorized to sign the
maintenance fee order form. The cost will be distributed between the funds that utilize the
software.

PUBLIC COMMENT
Noah Selkirk, identifying himself as an “auditor”, addressed the Council regarding his experience
with FOIA requests and expressed his frustration with receiving everything except what he
wanted. Selkirk recounted a specific incident where his initial FOIA request on behalf of
someone else was denied because he was told the records didn’t exist. He has a concern for
other citizens' lack of understanding of FOIA law. He stated that he received a FOIA request
where sensitive information was not redacted.
Pastor James A. Hailey of Allen Chapel AME extended an invitation to the City for two upcoming
events. First, on Veterans Day, November 11th, Allen Chapel, located at 153 East Tompkins

CLOSING COMMENTS
Council Member Miller stated he had just finished harvesting late today but that he was happy
to be back, mentioning that the Mayor had ridden in the combine with him, providing updates
on missed meetings and developments.
Council Member White expressed his gratitude for the City's long-overdue attention to the
intersection of Tompkins Street and Henderson Street, commending the hard work done. He
November 3, 2025 Page 4 of 8
also acknowledged November 11th as Veterans Day, speaking as a Vietnam veteran himself, and
emphasized that young people who experience combat are forever changed. He urged the
community to support veterans, many of whom struggle with homelessness or other life
challenges not of their own choosing, but due to circumstances. He added that veterans
volunteer to fight for their country, and it’s the community's responsibility to care for them
when they return, as they all carry some form of PTSD.
Council Member Acerra supported Council Member White's comments on veterans, and added
that employers should consider hiring them due to their transferable skills, which can help with
their transition back into civilian life. She reported that the City has made significant efforts to
address concerns regarding the solar project in Castlebury. The Council imposed a moratorium
on developments and approved a new renewable energy ordinance to strengthen local
oversight. The City’s legal counsel explored options to restrict the project, which was delayed for
over six months as City staff worked with the developer to correct the site plan while meeting
state requirements. The City also contacted state legislators and the state authority overseeing
solar project permits but received no indication of intervention.
Council Member Acerra stated that a recent development at the late-night veto session on
Halloween saw the state legislature pass laws, expected to be signed by the governor, which will
significantly impact downstate authority. While these laws have some positive aspects regarding
energy restrictions, they also impose extra fees and make it more difficult for municipalities to
slow down energy-related developments, including solar. Governments will only have 60 days to
act on renewable energy permits before automatic approval applies, severely limiting local
control. She wanted to stress that she believes the City did everything possible and will continue
to advocate for our citizens, but many issues are decided at the state level.
She also noted that another critical issue is the motor fuel tax and transit redistribution. Despite
complaints about our roads and the intended use of fuel tax for maintenance, a new rule passed
in this session which will redistribute these funds. Approximately 85% will go to the Chicago
metro area and the Chicago Transit Authority, with only 15% allocated to the rest of downstate.
Additionally, toll taxes were significantly raised, with these funds being directed to pensions
rather than road maintenance.
Council Member Acerra wanted to reiterate that while the Council appreciates residents holding
them accountable, many decisions that affect the City are made at the state level. She
encouraged citizens to reach out to legislators and consider forming or joining a regional
organization to advocate for downstate interests.
Council Member Saul commended Council Member Hunigan and all the volunteers for their
recent work at Cooke Park. He also mentioned the upcoming Veterans Day and mentioned
attending a ceremony on Sunday for Kyle Worley, commemorating the 20th anniversary of his
passing while serving.
Council Member Cheesman thanked Assistant City Manager St. George for stepping in for City
Manager Hanson and doing an excellent job on short notice. He also expressed deep
November 3, 2025 Page 5 of 8
admiration and credit for all those who have served our country, acknowledging the nation's
problems but emphasizing the many things to be grateful for. He shared a story about a friend
returning from a missionary trip to South America who realized how much our country offers,
attributing this to the service of men and women fighting for our freedoms. He specifically
thanked Council Member White and mentioned his own father, a 96-year-old veteran who
served in Korea, for their service.
Council Member Cheesman stated that he recognized the challenging times we are in
particularly concerning food shortages and insecurity. He praised the numerous organizations,
restaurants, grocery stores, and local food pantries for stepping up to help those in need,
stressing the importance of this continued support. He also reminded the community about
various grants available through the City to assist residents with housing, specifically
low-interest loans or grants for home repairs, and encouraged citizens to contact the
Community Development Department for more information.
He emphasized the Council's collaborative environment, which respects differing views while
seeking consensus. He stated that the Council tries to make the best decisions for the City using
input from citizens, experts, and staff. However, he admitted frustration with being overruled by
higher government, citing the solar project. While no one on the Council opposes solar, staff
and Council Members wish they had more local control over its implementation to address
specific challenges.
Lastly, Council Member Cheesman highlighted the Council's ongoing awareness of taxes, noting
the lowering of the property tax rate in the last couple of years, reaching the lowest rate since
2008.
Council Member Mangieri reported on her recent bus ride and plans to take more trips on
different lines. This is to experience transferring between routes, especially while managing
items like groceries. She noted that her initial experience was positive and that the bus driver
was professional and able to answer all of her questions. She also noted that she personally
works with a grassroots initiative called Community Grow, which focuses on combating food
insecurity in Galesburg. She is aware of the SNAP benefit pauses and has been following the
discussions among local organizations. She strongly encouraged everyone to find an
organization to support by donating food, funds, or time. Donating time is particularly helpful as
food banks and feeding programs are expecting an increase in visitors and will need more
volunteers to ensure smooth operations. Anyone interested in how they can help can reach out
to her via email if they would like recommendations on local organizations that might align with
their interests in the community.
Council Member Hunigan shared his recent, first-time experience using Galesburg's public
transit system, noting that he has lived in the city for over 50 years without ever riding a bus.
His hope was to better understand the state of public transportation specifically regarding its
reliability, speed, comfort, and how it compares to similar communities.
He accepted an invitation from a regular bus user for a four-hour tour of Galesburg's routes,
November 3, 2025 Page 6 of 8
beginning near the high school and included stops at Target, Carl Sandburg College, Walmart,
and downtown. They enjoyed lunch at 156 East Main and shopped at Wordsmith Book Shop.
His assessment of the bus ride was very favorable in terms of its reliability and frequency,
comfortability, and affordability at 60 cents a ride. He also noted that the employees were
professional and very helpful.
Council Member Hunigan stated that the day after the tour, he met with Kraig Boynton, Transit
Manger. He learned that Transit has 35 employees (20 full-time) and a budget of $3 million.
There has been no rate increase since the 1990s and approximately 104,000 people use the bus
service annually, an increase since 2024. Some challenges for Transit include an aging fleet that
is costly to maintain, as well as the need for increased financial assistance from state and federal
government sources. He also noted that the number of agencies served by the bus system has
increased tremendously over the past 10 years. Council Member Hunigan added that he
specifically asked about the policy for carrying multiple bags and Boynton clarified that
passengers can bring as many bags as they want, but they are allowed to only make one trip
from the door with their bags when they get on the bus.
Mayor Schwartzman commented that the increasing spirit of cooperation was making the
closing comments more informative. He also stated that with Veterans Day approaching, he
emphasized the importance of honoring veterans not just on November 11th, but every day. He
recognized that many veterans in the community are struggling, often due to their service, and
stressed the community's responsibility to care for them. He shared that both of his
grandfathers volunteered and served—one in World War I and one in World War II—and
expressed his respect and admiration for their service. He mentioned upcoming events,
including the fish fry at Allen Chapel AME and a ceremony at Walmart, scheduled to start at
9:00 a.m.
Regarding community concerns about food, the Mayor shared that he attended a recent
meeting called by a local minister, which included many concerned parties and nonprofits
working on food security in our community. He acknowledged the tremendous volunteer effort
dedicated to ensuring everyone is fed. He specifically praised the school district for its
commitment, noting that Galesburg's public school system provides free breakfast and lunch for
all children. He encouraged citizens to contribute and volunteer, stating that a collective effort
can ensure no one goes hungry.
Mayor Schwartzman welcomed the new and returning students in attendance, and encouraged
them to be active participants in the community. He thanked the volunteers for the recent
event at Cooke Park, pointing out that the City's website now features a photograph from
Saturday's tree-planting. He added that though he was unable to attend, it was great to see so
many young people volunteering for the planting early that morning.
There being no further business, Council Member Saul moved, seconded by Council Member
White, to adjourn the regular meeting at 6:43 p.m.

Agenda Item Overview
November 17, 2025
AGENDA ITEM: Bid recommendation, purchase a dump body, snowplow and salt spreader for
the Park Division.
SUMMARY RECOMMENDATION The City Manager, Director Park and Recreation, Fleet
Superintendent, and Purchasing Agent recommend the City Council approve the purchase of a
dump body, snowplow and salt spreader from Knapheide Truck Equipment (Quincy, IL) for a total
cost of $85,035.00
BACKGROUND: The Park Division has a class 7 dump truck scheduled for replacement in 2026.
The bid request was initiated earlier than the scheduled replacement date due to the high
demand for large dump trucks and the extended lead time required for the upfitter to acquire
and install the necessary components on the cab/chassis. In September of 2025, a bid request
was issued for class 7 the cab/chassis, resulting in the purchase of a 2026 Freightliner 108SD Plus
cab-chassis. Delivery of the cab/chassis is anticipated in December of 2025.
Once the make and model of the cab/chassis was determined, a separate bid was issued for the
purchase and installation of the dump body, snowplow and salt spreader. These components
will be fabricated and installed onto the dump truck cab/chassis.
In addition to being advertised in the local paper, bid documents were made available on the city
website as well as being provided to dealers known to manufacture these types of components.
There were four bids submitted as a result of this request. Knapheide Truck Equipment provided
the low and best bid in the amount of $85,035.00. It is anticipated that the dump truck will be
complete and put into service by March 2026.
The Fleet Superintendent reviewed the required specifications to ensure all areas of the city’s
request were met. City staff recommend approval of this purchase.
BUDGET IMPACT: There are sufficient funds budgeted in the Vehicle Replacement Fund (58).

Compliance Supervisor, and Purchasing Agent recommend City Council award the demolition of

to this bid request. The low and best bid was submitted by D&T Demolition LLC in the amount
of $129,340.00. City staff have reviewed the bid and determined the costs submitted for this
project are reasonable based on the requirements of the demolition. City staff recommend
approval.

Agenda Item Overview
November 17, 2025
AGENDA ITEM: Approval of lease with Jefferson Lines to use the depot at Colton Park.
SUMMARY RECOMMENDATION: The City Manager and Director of Community Development
recommend approval of a lease with Jefferson Partners L.P., doing business as Jefferson Lines,
for use of the depot at Colton Park.
BACKGROUND: The city had a lease with Burlington Trailways, which ended at the end of
September when Trailways discontinued it scheduled bus service. Jefferson Lines has now taken
over some of Trailways former intercity routes in Illinois, Iowa, and Missouri, including those in
and out of Galesburg. Jefferson Lines is an intercity bus company that provides daily bus service
across 14 states in the Midwest. It offers affordable and reliable passenger transport, charter
services, and has been in business for over 100 years, making it one of the oldest bus companies
in the United States
The lease provides for Jefferson to pay a portion of the utilities and allows their passengers to
utilize the waiting area and amenities of the station. This is the same lease arrangement that was
in place with Trailways and similar to the lease with Amtrak, who also pays their portion of the
utilities.
BUDGET IMPACT: Maintenance of Colton Park and the depot facility are currently included in the
Park Division budget but are proposed to move to a new Buildings and Grounds budget for 2026.

City Council Meeting
Agenda Item Overview
November 17, 2025
AGENDA ITEM: Approval of a service contract between the City of Galesburg Public
Transportation and the Galesburg Rescue Mission to provide discounted pricing for both single
and punch passes for the fixed route system.
SUMMARY RECOMMENDATION: City of Galesburg’s Public Transportation Advisory Commission
held a meeting and approved a service contract agreement to provide both fixed route public
transportation single passes and punch passes to the Galesburg Rescue Mission at a twenty-five
percent discount. This service contract will help reduce the local match responsibility of the City.
The Director of Community Development and Transit Manager concur with their
recommendation.
BACKGROUND: Under this service contract, the Galesburg Rescue Mission will distribute
purchased passes to their patrons who have no other means for transportation and lack
resources to purchase bus passe on their own.
This service contract allows the payment from the Galesburg Rescue Mission to be counted as
local match rather than program revenue. As 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.
Fee updates are as follows:
Description of Service Current Regular Price 25% Discounted Rate
Single Pass $0.60 $0.45
10-Punch Pass $5.00 $3.75
BUDGET IMPACT: This service contract will help limit the City’s contribution to the public
transportation budget by allowing this revenue to be recorded as local match.

SERVICE CONTRACT
This service contract made this ______ day of _____ _____ , 2025 by and between the

Purpose:
The purpose of this service contract is to establish a discount program for the purchase

by GPT.
Discount Terms:
GPT agrees to provide Galesburg Rescue Mission with a 25% discount off the current
retail price for both single-ride passes and punch passes offered by GPT’s fixed-route
public transportation system.
The discounted pricing shall apply only to passes purchased directly by Galesburg
Rescue Mission for use in supporting its clients and operations.
Billing and Payment:
GPT will invoice Galesburg Resue Mission monthly for all single-ride and punch passes
purchased during the previous month.
Failure to remit payment may result in suspension of program participation until the
account is brought current.
Price Adjustments:
If GPT increases its standard public transportation fare rates, the discounted prices
under this service contract shall increase proportionally, maintaining the 25% discount
off GPT’s updated retail fare structure.
Term and Renewal:
This service contract shall commence on the date of execution by both parties and shall
remain in effect until such time either party chooses to execute a written termination
request as outlined in the next section.
Termination:
This service contract may be terminated by either party at any time with thirty (30) days’
written notice to the other party.
Upon termination, any unused passes purchased by Galesburg Rescue Mission will

City Council Meeting
Agenda Item Overview
November 17, 2025
AGENDA ITEM: Approval of a service contract between the City of Galesburg Public
Transportation and Safe Harbor to provide discounted pricing for both single and punch passes
for the fixed route system.
SUMMARY RECOMMENDATION: City of Galesburg’s Public Transportation Advisory Commission
held a meeting and approved a service contract agreement to provide both fixed route public
transportation single passes and punch passes to Safe Harbor at a twenty-five percent discount.
This service contract will help reduce the local match responsibility of the City. The Director of
Community Development and Transit Manager concur with their recommendation.
BACKGROUND: Under this service contract, Safe Harbor will distribute purchased passes to their
patrons who have no other means for transportation and lack resources to purchase bus passe
on their own.
This service contract allows the payment from Safe Harbor to be counted as local match rather
than program revenue. As 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.
Fee updates are as follows:
Description of Service Current Regular Price 25% Discounted Rate
Single Pass $0.60 $0.45
10-Punch Pass $5.00 $3.75
BUDGET IMPACT: This service contract will help limit the City’s contribution to the public
transportation budget by allowing this revenue to be recorded as local match.

City Council Meeting
Agenda Item Overview
November 3, 2025
AGENDA ITEM: 2025 Property Tax Levy Ordinance
SUMMARY RECOMMENDATION: The City Manager and Director of Finance recommend the City
Council approve the 2025 Property Tax Levy Ordinance.
BACKGROUND: Annually, the City Council establishes a dollar amount needed from property tax
extensions by the County Clerk. This amount is then aggregated with other taxing districts
resulting in individual tax bills on individual property. The City should receive the majority of the
money collected from this levy in June and September of 2026.
The 2025 tax levy request has been established at $10,871,732 which is an increase of 4.00%
when compared to the total amount of the current year tax levy (2024) extension. The following
table displays the levy request by use:

Police Pension 2,873,718 75,000 2.7% 26.4%
Fire Pension 2,665,745 75,000 2.9% 24.5%
Public Library 2,023,275 77,818 4.0% 18.6%
Based on the current Estimated Assessed Value (EAV) for the 2025 tax levy, the estimated
property tax rate for the City would be approximately $2.350 or $0.037 less than the 2024 tax
levy rate. The property tax rate is applied to individual tax bills.
BUDGET IMPACT: The property tax levy will fund a portion of the City’s General Fund and Park &
Recreation Fund general operations; IMRF obligations in the General Fund; the majority of the
Public Library’s general operations; and the police pension and firefighters’ pension funds.

Agenda Item Overview
November 3, 2025
AGENDA ITEM: Special Ordinance to approve the 2025 levy for the Special Service Area #1
(Downtown Area).
SUMMARY RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended the City Council approve the Special Service
Area Tax Levy Ordinance.
BACKGROUND: On January 20, 1975, the City Council approved Special Ordinance No. 75-4 which
created, from the Special Service Area #1, a flat rate of $1 per $100 equalized assessed value.
Money generated from this levy is utilized to pay maintenance services in the downtown area.
On May 2, 1992 the Downtown Council requested that at the time their levy for bond repayment
expired, a new tax replaced it in the amount of $1.50 per $100 of equalized assessed value to
assist in covering operational expenses. Their request was approved and in 1995 the Downtown
Council began receiving the new tax. The ordinance for the property tax stated that the tax shall
not be levied for more than 10 years.
On November 18, 2013, the City Council approved a ten-year extension of the $1.50 tax for the
Special Service Area tax commencing on the 2014 property tax levy (payable in 2015).
On November 20, 2023, the City Council approved a ten-year extension of the $1.50 tax for the
Special Service Area tax commencing on the 2024 property tax levy (payable in 2025). The tax
levy must be approved in time to be filed with the Knox County Clerk by the last Tuesday in
December 2025.
BUDGET IMPACT: The City uses replacement taxes to make up the difference between the
amount received from the levy and the contract amount.

City Council Meeting
Agenda Item Overview
November 17, 2025
AGENDA ITEM: Special ordinance authorizing the sale of surplus firearms from the Police
Department.
SUMMARY RECOMMENDATION: The City Manager, Chief of Police, and Purchasing Agent
recommend that the City Council approve and authorize the Police Department to dispose of
firearms no longer utilized by the department by selling the weapons through a licensed federal
firearms dealer. This special ordinance requires two Council readings with final approval prior to
solicitation.
BACKGROUND: Over time, the Police Department has acquired numerous firearms. These
include department-owned weapons that are no longer in use, as well as confiscated weapons
from non-violent crimes that judges have released after court proceedings. These weapons
include pistols and rifles.
The firearms would be sold through a local federal firearms (FFL) dealer. All rules and regulations
governing the sale of firearms through an FFL dealer will be followed, just as they would be with
any sale of a firearm through an FFL dealer. A list of the firearms to be sold is included in the
attached ordinance, and the prices will be set by the FFL dealer. Once the firearms are transferred
to the dealer, the officers will have the opportunity to purchase their recently replaced Sig Sauer
P320 handguns from the dealer at an agreed price. The city will also receive a percentage from
those sales.
BUDGET IMPACT: It is expected that the sales will generate approximately $40,000.00, to be
used to offset the recent purchase of Glock 47 firearms for patrol officers.

City Council Meeting
Agenda Item Overview
November 17, 2025
AGENDA ITEM: Consider local landmark designation for home located at 325 N Prairie St.
SUMMARY RECOMMENDATION: The Landmark Commission held the required public hearing
during their November 4, 2025 meeting. On a vote of 5 ayes (Members Klohn, Martin, Miener,
Sugai, Woolsey), zero nays and zero abstentions, the Landmark Commission recommended
approval of the Local Landmark designation nomination. The City Manager and Director of
Community Development concur with the Landmark Commission’s recommendation.
BACKGROUND: The owner of 325 N Prairie St applied for local landmark designation for this
property due to the historical contributions of the home’s original occupants, the Webster family.
James Edwin Webster had the home built by Beedle and Grant in 1891. Mr. Webster operated a
hat and fur shop in downtown Galesburg and later built an apartment building and hotel (both
since demolished).
His daughter Inez Webster, attended Lombard College, worked for the Galesburg and Knox
County Free Kindergarten Home. During World War 1 she volunteered as a canteen worker with
the YMCA in France. During the 1920s, she worked for the Near East Relief Service running an
orphanage near Beirut, Lebanon for Armenian refugees and later working for a Russian
orphanage in modern-day Armenia.
The Landmark Commission met on November 4, 2025, and unanimously recommended approval
of this landmark designation request. No public comments were received. The landmark
designation will ensure the character and architectural qualities of the home will be persevered
and maintained. Any improvement to a Local Landmark that is visible from a public way requires
a Certificate of Appropriateness review by the Landmark Commission to assure compliance with
the Galesburg Historic Preservation Ordinance. Local Landmarks contribute to Galesburg’s
heritage and character. This designation strengthens the local economy by preserving property
values, attracting tourists and promoting investment in Galesburg.
BUDGET IMPACT: There is no impact to the City’s budget for this designation.

1.Local Landmark Application
2.Notice of Landmark Designation to be filed at Knox County Recorder of Deeds.

October 20, 2025
Dear Galesburg Landmark Committee Members,
I appreciate your review of my home, 325 N. Prairie Street for consideration for Landmark
status. The primary reasons for which I am requesting this are: 1) architectural significance
and 2) the unique contributions of its resident, Inez Webster and her family to Galesburg
and the world at large.
In terms of architectural significance, after consulting with architectural historian and
former Galesburg resident Andrew Elders, we have determined that James Edwin Webster
had the house built by Beedle and Grant in 1891. William Wolfe was the likely architect as
he was the only one in town and he designed many homes of similar stature in Galesburg at
that time.
In terms of significant impact on Galesburg and the world, I have attached an article which
appeared in the Register Mail in 1917, regarding Inez’s impact on the local community. It
highlights her work with the Galesburg and Knox County Free Kindergarten, which cared for
40 children. She served as the house secretary and treasurer, raising money for the
institution, and then serving as “field secretary” wherein she would find homes for
homeless children and then visit the homes in which they were placed.
Inez later went on to work for years with hundreds of Armenian refugee children in Syria and
ended her time with the Near East Relief welfare organization running the largest
orphanage in the world in Russia.
Her memoirs, which have been provided to you electronically, document the life of a true
humanitarian and a woman who lived her Christian values in a way which was most unique
and particularly adventurous for a woman of her time.
I appreciate your assistance in helping me promote her example to our community and our
world through the recognition of her birth home, 325 N. Prairie Street.

AGENDA ITEM: Administrative Adjudication Hearing Officer Agreements.
SUMMARY RECOMMENDATION: The City Manager and Assistant City Manager, recommend
approval of two agreements, one with H. Wayne Statham to serve as the Administrative Hearing
Officer, and a second with John Robertson of Barash & Everett, LLC, to serve as the substitute
Administrative Hearing Officer. The establishment of both primary and substitute coverage
ensures the successful and uninterrupted operation of the Administrative Adjudication system.
BACKGROUND: The City of Galesburg established the Administrative Adjudication Program in
2015 to efficiently and effectively address local ordinance violations through a streamlined
administrative hearing process. The program processes an average of 1,500 cases annually,
providing an expediated method for prosecuting ordinance violations, and abating nuisance
issues.
The attached agreements authorize the appointment of Wayne Statham and John Robertson to
provide essential independent hearing officer services, effective January 2026. Both individuals
are attorneys in good standing, fully meet the statutory requirements, and have a strong record
of successful service to the City in this capacity. The agreements stipulate that the City will
compensate both Mr. Statham and Mr. Robertson $200 per hour for these services. Utilizing Mr.
Statham as the primary hearing officer and Mr. Robertson to provide substitute coverage is key
to the program’s successful continuity.
BUDGET IMPACT: There are sufficient funds budgeted in the legal, professional services account
to cover the anticipated cost of the agreement for services.

AGENDA ITEM: Tourism Agreement and Lease with Galesburg Tourism and Visitors Bureau
(GTVB)
SUMMARY RECOMMENDATION: The City Manager, Assistant City Manager, and Director of
Parks & Recreation recommend approval of a two-year Tourism Agreement with GTVB for
maintaining a professional tourism marketing program that drives visitor revenue to Galesburg,
as well as a lease for the city-owned building located at 2163 East Main Street.
BACKGROUND: The City’s current tourism agreement with the GTVB expires at the end of the
year. A proposed two-year tourism agreement is attached, which would commence on January
1, 2026 and conclude on December 31, 2027. The terms of the agreement are similar to the prior
agreement and provide that the City shall pay GTVB $190,000 per year from the hotel-motel tax
revenues, in exchange for GTVB developing, designing, and implementing a comprehensive
tourism marketing program for the purpose of promoting the City of Galesburg.
As GTVB is currently in transition, and in the process of recruiting a new director, the previous
three-year agreement was shortened to two years. This adjustment is necessary to allow for an
appropriate transition and evaluation period following the recruitment and hiring of the new
GTVB Director. The agreement includes a standard termination clause, allowing either party to
terminate the agreement, in whole or in part, at any time with 30 days’ written notice.
Running concurrently with the agreement, is a lease that provides for the use of 2163 East Main
Street as a Welcome Center. The lease sets forth the general terms for the use of the space, with
the lessee responsible for utilities, cleaning, and maintenance of the building, and the lessor
providing maintenance of the parking lot and grounds.
BUDGET IMPACT: The $190,000 annual funding allocation for 2026 is included in the proposed
2026 City Budget.

BACKGROUND: The City currently uses the Springbrook government-wide software to create

organization to utilize. Currently, the City utilizes the following modules:

•Bank Reconciliation (Finance Suite)•Inventory Control
•General Ledger (Finance Suite)•License and Permits
•Budgeting (Finance Suite)•Parking Tickets
•Customer Relations Management (Finance Suite) • Payroll
•Accounts Receivable •Project Management
•Building Permits •Purchase Orders
•Business/Occupational Tax •Utility Billing
•Cash Receipting •Utility Billing – Online
•Code and Contact Management •Work Order Management
•Employee Self-Serve •Fixed Assets
Similar to other government-wide software, maintenance fees must be paid on an annual basis
in order for the City to receive support and updates from the company. The fiscal year 2026
annual maintenance fee is $92,982.73 for the above modules and services.
BUDGET IMPACT: Annual maintenance fees will be distributed between the funds utilizing the
financial software.
