2 2 Committee of the Whole Agenda Memorandum Item # AT-1

To: Mayor & City Council

From: Sonni Williams, City Attorney

Subject: Adopt the Smoke-Free Illinois Act to Include Use of E-Cigarettes as Prohibited in Public Places

Date: Wednesday, February 19, 2020

BACKGROUND/HISTORY Soon after the City amended Chapter 134 of the City Codes to raise the minimum age for the possession and use of tobacco including use of e-cigarettes to 21, representatives from the Will County Health Department & Community Health Center reached out to City staff as part of the Health Department's Tobacco Control & Prevention Program. The County-wide program offers a variety of services to decrease tobacco use rates, keep youth tobacco-free, and eliminate exposure to secondhand smoke. One of the Program's initiatives is a push to restrict the use of electronic cigarettes in public places. Vaping pens are included in the definition of e-cigarettes.

Although the Illinois Smoke Free Act prohibits smoking traditional cigarettes or tobacco in public places, places of employment, or within 15 feet from entrances to public places or places of employment, the Act does not specifically address and limit the use of e-cigarettes in this public ban on smoking. Although e-cigarettes contain fewer toxic chemicals than traditional cigarettes, e-cigarette aerosol is not totally harmless and can contain harmful and potentially harmful substances, including nicotine, heavy metals like lead, volatile organic compounds, and cancer-causing agents. While e-cigarettes have the potential to benefit some people and have sometimes been marketed as a safe alternative to traditional cigarettes, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has not approved the use of e-cigarette as a tobacco cessation product or for other medical purpose.

Although e-cigarettes were initially promoted as a safe-alternative to regular cigarettes use for adults, youth are more likely than adults to use e-cigarettes and among the current e-cigarette users aged 18-24 years, 40% had never been traditional cigarette smokers. Representatives from Will County Health Department provided City staff with an eye-opening 2018 survey on the use rate of e-cigarette or vaping products among 10th grade students here in Lockport, Will County, and the rest of the State. Locally, 26% of LTHS students, 13% of students in Will County, 3 and 18% of students throughout the State responded that they have used vaping products in the past 30 days. The FDA and other states have initiated or are contemplating a ban on certain fruity or candy flavors of vaping products geared and marketed to teens.

Will County Health Department's Tobacco Control & Prevention Program includes the call for a public ban on the use of e-cigarettes along with education to address the epidemic rise of e-cigarette use among Illinois teens. The current trend in vaping is the use of smaller and stylish "vaping pens" or other vaping devices that are as small as a thumb drive to vape both marijuana and tobacco. Without closing the loophole in the Smoke-Free Illinois Act, these vape pens or devices would continue to be used in public places like bars, restaurants, and businesses to vape tobacco and could be used to disguise the vaping of marijuana in these public places with little recourse.

12 WHAT IS IN E-CIGARETTE AEROSOL?

THE E-CIGARETTE AEROSOL THAT USERS BREATHE FROM THE DEVICE AND EXHALE CAN CONTAIN HARMFUL AND POTENTIALLY HARMFUL SUBSTANCES:

CANCER-CAUSING VOLATILE CHEMICALS ORGANIC COMPOUNDS ULTRAFINE HEAVY METALS SUCH AS PARTICLES NICKEL, TIN, AND LEAD

NICOTINE FLAVORING SUCH AS DIACETYL, A CHEMICAL LINKED TO A SERIOUS LUNG DISEASE

It is difficult for consumers to know what e-cigarette products contain. For example, some e-cigarettes marketed as containing zero percent nicotine have been found to contain nicotine.

ARE E-CIGARETTES LESS HARMFUL THAN REGULAR CIGARETTES?

E-cigarette aerosol generally contains fewer toxic chemicals than the deadly mix of 7,000 chemicals in smoke from regular cigarettes. However, e-cigarette VS aerosol is not harmless. It can contain harmful and potentially harmful substances, including nicotine, heavy metals like lead, volatile organic compounds,

YES, but that doesn’t and cancer-causing agents. mean e-cigarettes are safe.

Page 5 WHAT ARE THE HEALTH EFFECTS OF USING E-CIGARETTES?

SCIENTISTS ARE STILL LEARNING ABOUT THE LONG-TERM HEALTH EFFECTS OF E-CIGARETTES. HERE IS WHAT WE KNOW NOW.

Most e-cigarettes contain nicotine, which has known health effects

»»Nicotine is highly addictive. 1» Nicotine is toxic to developing fetuses. » Nicotine can harm adolescent brain development, which continues into the early to mid-20s.

» Nicotine is a health danger for pregnant women and their developing babies.

Besides nicotine, e-cigarette aerosol can contain substances that harm the body.

»»This includes cancer-causing chemicals and tiny particles that reach deep into lungs. However, e-cigarette aerosol generally contains fewer harmful chemicals than smoke 2from burned tobacco products.

E-cigarettes can cause unintended injuries.

»»Defective e-cigarette batteries have caused fires and explosions, some of which have resulted in serious injuries. 3» In addition, acute nicotine exposure can be toxic. Children and adults have been poisoned by swallowing, breathing, or absorbing e-cigarette liquid. 14

Page 6 CAN E-CIGARETTES HELP ADULTS QUIT SMOKING CIGARETTES?

E-CIGARETTES ARE NOT CURRENTLY APPROVED BY THE FDA AS A QUIT SMOKING AID.

The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, a group of health experts that makes recommendations about preventive health care, concluded that the evidence is insufficient to recommend e-cigarettes for smoking cessation in adults, including pregnant women.

HOWEVER, e-cigarettes may help non-pregnant adult smokers if used as a complete substitute for all cigarettes and other smoked tobacco products.

TO DATE, THE FEW STUDIES ON THE ISSUE ARE MIXED.

Evidence from two randomized controlled trials found that e-cigarettes with nicotine can help smokers stop smoking in the long term compared with placebo (non-nicotine) e-cigarettes.

A recent CDC study found that many adults are using e-cigarettes in an attempt to quit smoking. However, most adult e-cigarette users do not stop smoking cigarettes and are instead continuing to use both products (“dual use”). Because smoking even a few cigarettes a day can be dangerous, quitting smoking completely is very important to protect your health. 15

Page 7 WHO IS USING E-CIGARETTES?

E-CIGARETTES ARE NOW THE MOST COMMONLY USED TOBACCO PRODUCT AMONG U.S. YOUTH.

In 2016, more than 2 MILLION U.S. middle and high school students used e-cigarettes in 4.3% the past 30 days, including: MIDDLE SCHOOL 11.3% IN THE U.S., STUDENTS HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS YOUTH ARE MORE LIKELY THAN ADULTS TO USE E-CIGARETTES

AMONG CURRENT E-CIGARETTE USERS AGED 18–24 YEARS, 40.0% had NEVER BEEN cigarette smokers

In 2016, 3.2% IN 2015, AMONG ADULT E-CIGARETTE of U.S. adults were current USERS OVERALL: e-cigarette users 29.8% were former regular smokers 58.8% were current regular cigarette smokers

22 Committee of the Whole Agenda Memorandum Item # CA-1

To: Mayor & City Council

From: Ben Benson, City Administrator

Subject: Approve Proposed Façade Grant and Site Improvement Program Changes

Date: Wednesday, February 19, 2020

BACKGROUND/HISTORY Facade and Site Improvement Grants have been successful in helping to revitalize the historic Downtown and 9th Street Corridor. The City’s Facade and Site Improvement Grant Program was established for commercially zoned property located within a target area designated by the City to be in need of economic incentives for purposes of reinvestment in the community and to improve visible exterior of buildings, structures and site conditions of properties facing important corridors in the City.

PROS/CONS/ALTERNATIVES Expanding the areas of eligibility only fosters more opportunity for private development in much needed growth areas of the Downtown, 9th Street and Archer Avenue. Please see new proposed map as Appendix A. The increased eligible amount would be up to $50,000 per application and we would not limit multiple applications per address, but instead would consider them on a case by case basis on the merits of the projects which would hopefully encourage more significant investments and redevelopment of distinguished areas within the City of Lockport.

RECOMMENDATION Approve Resolution No. 20-019 to expand the available funding per application up to $50,000.00 and include a larger scope of area eligible for funding, and remove the lien requirements and limitations on the number of allowable grant applications.

Subject: Adopt Ordinance No. 20-001 Replacing Ordinance No. 19-006 Adopting the 2015 International Codes

Date: Wednesday, February 19, 2020

BACKGROUND/HISTORY The recent building code updates that were made in 2019 require some modifications to reflect updated legal and organizational requirements. In the original approval, the Permit Fee section was not included, but needed to be, and the blank sections that were shown after the amendments were actually located in the Development Code when that was updated. The proposed modifications update those items, add some Lockport-specific code amendments, include an updated Fees section and organize the document so that it can easily be uploaded to our online American Legal Publishing software.

In addition to the minor code modifications, the CED investigated the permit fees holistically in order to combine the code change and fee updates. Building Permit fees are an important component of the City’s ability to deliver timely, high quality reviews and inspections of citizens’ and developers’ construction projects. They cover the administrative time delivered by our front office staff as well as the time associated with our plan reviewers and Building Inspectors. These functions are critical to protecting both current and future residents from building code-deficient installations.

Our permit fees were originally established by the approval of Ordinance No. 92-291 by the City Council on August 25, 1992. Since then, and with changes in home amenities and building codes, various permits have been added to the original list over two successive building code updates, including Ordinance No. 99-221 approved on June 16, 1999 and Ordinance No. 03-386 on April 23, 2003 (see attachments). However, the dollar amounts have never changed to account for inflation, staff cost changes or the addition of outside consulting firms providing additional support on larger, more complicated projects that were never considered.

95 Over the past three months, the Building Department staff has researched the costs of permits among our 10 comparison communities as well as additional neighboring communities to develop an average price for the same permits we require in Lockport. The attached spreadsheet form includes the following:

• Current Lockport required permits • Current Lockport permit cost • Comparison Community Average Cost • Building Department Recommendation for a new permit cost • Difference between current and recommended cost • Quantity of permits issued in 2019 • 2019 Total Revenue • Revenue comparison with new rates

The primary objective of this process is to propose reasonable adjustments to our fees so that they: 1. Manage our internal costs, accounting for inflation, staff changes and other costs since the original 1992 approvals. 2. Adjust our processes to provide the efficient services that our builders and developers expect. 3. Have comparable and competitive pricing to our surrounding and comparative communities.

Pending City Council's approval of the modifications at the March 4, 2020 City Council meeting, our target release date is March 9, 2020. This will include updates to our permit forms and publishing the revised fees. Any permit requested after that date will be subject to the new rates.

PROS/CONS/ALTERNATIVES

RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of the Building Code updates and Building Permit fee modifications as presented.

WHEREAS , on April 3, 2019, the Mayor presented a veto line item amendment to Ordinance No. 19-006, specifically pertaining to fire sprinkler system requirement, and no motion was made to override the veto; and

WHEREAS , subsequent to the passage of Ordinance No. 19-006 as amended by the Mayor’s line item veto to the fire sprinkler system requirement, house-keeping issues have been discovered including unnecessary section numberings and titles that did not correspond to the substantive sections as described in the table of content for Chapter 152 which have resulted in the City’s Codifier not including the amendments to Chapter 152 as contained in Ordinance No. 19-006 into the City’s Code of Ordinances; and

Subject: Approve Purchase of Wireless Video Download System

Date: Wednesday, February 19, 2020

BACKGROUND/HISTORY The Police Department transitioned to the WatchGuard Video System in 2018 due to quality issues with our previous in-car video system vendor. Due to cost constraints at that time, the Department did not take advantage of a wireless download feature that allows for the automatic transfer of the video from the squad car to the Department’s servers. We would like to add the necessary hardware and software licenses that are required to begin taking advantage of this feature.

The system would be purchased with Federal Asset Forfeiture funds.

PROS/CONS/ALTERNATIVES Currently, Department personnel have to manually download the video files that have been saved on the in-car DVR. Depending on the amount of video that has been recorded, this process can require several trips to the vehicle. With a fleet of 32 vehicles, this process can take up several hours of staff time throughout the week. Additionally, the Department has lost video evidence due to media malfunctions that have occurred when attempting to transfer the video files from the vehicle into the squad car. The automatic download process will free up staff time, minimize the risk of video loss, and allow for videos to be immediately available to evidence processing staff.

Subject: Presentation on Responsible Rental Program

Date: Wednesday, February 19, 2020

BACKGROUND/HISTORY First developed in Mesa, Arizona in 1992, to the City of Romeoville adopting a similar program in recent years, the goal of this program is to assure that all rental properties within the corporate City limits of Lockport are maintained and are in compliance with the City ordinances. To ensure that the health, safety, and welfare of the occupants (of rental properties) as well as the general public are protected and to reduce crimes or calls for Police services associated with rental properties.

Attached in the program outline are objectives, goals, responsibilities, benefits, etc. prepared by the Lockport Police Department's Community Outreach Unit, Officer Jeren Szmergalski and Officer Kevin Brauch.

PROS/CONS/ALTERNATIVES Communities have turned to crime free housing program as a tool to address the deleterious impact on the health, safety, and welfare on the community from rental properties with a significantly high number of criminal activities that are committed by the tenants or the tenants' guests. At the same time, there are legal challenges brought against municipalities that have adopted and utilized the crime free housing program based on the disparate impact on a protected class.

RECOMMENDATION This report and presentation is for information only, for the Mayor & Council to research more and understand pros and cons of such a program, we will also have staff research more with surrounding communities also embarking on these types of programs.

Subject: Adopt STP Grant Application Street Policy

Date: Wednesday, February 19, 2020

BACKGROUND/HISTORY As discussed during project budget discussions for 2020, the City will begin the application process for IL-7 Channelization and future Downtown Streetscape STP Grant funding. In preparation to submitting any future STP Grant applications, certain policy adoptions can help increase chances of selection for funding.

As part of Will County Governmental League’s STP Grant scoring methodology, a potential project is scored based on several categories that are used to grade the applicability of the project to receive funding. Using these categories, the project is awarded points and graded on a scale of 1-100.

Several engineering factors are used as a part of these categories to award points to municipalities that adopt certain policies. The Complete Streets Policy is one of the engineering factors that can be formally adopted via resolution to receive extra points in the selection process. The Complete Streets Policy is a standard policy that combines EXISTING Lockport ordinance and development code guidelines, methodologies, and standard specs to issue a formal blanket policy that governs the City’s general methodology to constructing roadways and pedestrian facilities is a safe thoughtful manner.

By approving the attached resolution, the City will meet the requirement to receive additional scoring for future STP Grants to increase chances for selection.

City of Lockport Complete Streets Policy February 2020

GENERAL POLICY STATEMENT

Complete Streets are facilities designed, operated and maintained to assure safe mobility for users of all ages and abilities, including pedestrians, cyclists, transit riders and motorists, appropriate to the function and context of the facility. The City of Lockport seeks to create a comprehensive, integrated, and connected transportation network where every roadway user can travel safely and comfortably and where sustainable transportation options are available to everyone by planning, designing, operating and maintaining a network of Complete Streets.

The City of Lockport shall evaluate all future street infrastructure construction and maintenance projects to determine what additional improvements might be necessary to encourage a variety of travel modes by users of all ages and abilities. As part of this evaluation, the City of Lockport shall utilize a group of interdisciplinary experts at its disposal including, but not limited to, the City's staff and consultants, and appropriate representatives from the State of Illinois, Will County, Metra, Pace and local school districts. As appropriate, the City will update and design bicycle and pedestrian facilities to the best currently available standards and practices including the American Association of State Highway Transportation Officials (AASHTO) Guide for the Development of Bicycle Facilities, the AASHTO Guide for the Planning, Design and Operation of Pedestrian Facilities, the AASHTO Green Book: A Policy on Geometric Design of Highways and Streets, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Highway Capacity Manual (HCM), the FHWA Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD), the Americans with Disabilities Act Accessibility Guidelines (ADAAG) and others as related.

Complete Streets can be achieved through network-level improvements, through integration into single location projects or incrementally through a series of small improvements or maintenance activities. Decisions regarding the Public Right-of-Way shall promote use by pedestrians, bicyclists, public transit and motor vehicles, in a safe and effective manner, taking into account the surrounding community context and land uses. The City shall strive to create a comprehensive, integrated and connected network of transportation options for all modes of conveyance, designed and operated to enable appropriate and safe access for all users.

POLICY IMPLEMENTATION

The City shall implement a Complete Streets policy as follows:

a. The City of Lockport will provide training opportunities to staff and elected officials tasked with implementing the Complete Streets policy.

b. Staff shall fully incorporate Complete Streets into the budgeting process, work plans and staffing projects, and consider Complete Streets as one of the priorities in roadway planning and funding decisions.

route.

BENEFITS

Complete Streets provide the following benefits:

a. Increased Transportation Choices: Streets that provide travel choices can give people the option to avoid traffic congestion and increase the overall capacity of the transportation network.

b. Improved Safety: Design and accommodation for bicyclists and pedestrians reduces the incidence of crashes.

c. Quality of Place: Increased bicycling and walking are indicative of vibrant and livable communities.

d. Economic Development: Complete streets can reduce transportation costs and travel time while increasing property values and job growth in communities.

e. Improved Return on Infrastructure Investments: Integrating sidewalks, bike lanes, transit amenities, and safe crossings into the initial design of a project spares the expense of retrofits later.

f. More Walking and Bicycling: Public health experts are encouraging walking and bicycling as a response to the obesity epidemic. Streets that provide room for bicycling and walking help people of all ages get physical activity and gain independence.

POLICY

The City’s Complete Streets policy shall:

a. Establish a procedure to evaluate resurfacing projects for complete streets inclusion according to length of project, local support, environmental constraints, total available right‐of‐way, funding resources and bicycle and/or pedestrian compatibility.

b. Address the need for bicyclists and pedestrians to cross corridors as well as travel along them. Even where bicyclists and pedestrians may not commonly use a particular travel corridor that is being improved or constructed, they will likely need to be able to cross that corridor safely and conveniently. Therefore, the design of intersections shall accommodate bicyclists and pedestrians in a manner that is safe, accessible and convenient. 173 ~ 3 ~
