Motion to Accept Bids and Award a Contract to Stark Excavating, Inc. in the Amount of $41,784.50 for the 2011 P.C.C. Pavement Patching Contract

PREPARED BY: Gene Brown, City Engineer

REVIEWED BY: Mark R. Peterson, City Manager

BUDGET IMPACT: Funds in the amount of $77,500 are available in line item 001- 7230-441.27–41 of the Road and Bridge Fund

STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approval

ATTACHMENTS: Bid Tabulation

BACKGROUND

Included in the FY 2012 Road and Bridge budget is $77,500 for PCC pavement patching. This work supplements the efforts of the Public Works Department Street Division in patching existing deteriorated concrete pavements.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS

The location of work proposed in this years project includes approximately 535 square yards of P.C.C. pavement patching at the Hovey Avenue / Cottage Avenue intersection.

The pavement in the intersection has deteriorated to a condition that requires complete removal and replacement of the majority of the pavement in the intersection. Engineering devised two plans for this project. One would have had three construction phases and have various legs of the intersection closed for a three week period. The other alternative was to completely close the intersection and complete the work in five days. After discussions with Administration it was decided to specify the complete closure alternative.

Bids for the project were received, opened and read on Thursday, August 18, 2011 at 10:00 a.m. Five bids were received. A complete bid tabulation is attached. A summary of the bids is shown below.

Motion to Approve a Semi-Annual Salary Schedule Adjustment for Classified Employees

PREPARED BY: Pamela S. Reece, Assistant City Manager

REVIEWED BY: Andrew Huhn, Director of Finance

BUDGET IMPACT: The estimated budget impact of the proposed COLA increase is $288,000 for FY 2011-12. Sufficient funds have been budgeted in the various department personnel line items of the approved FY 2011-12 budget.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approval

ATTACHMENTS: Proposed Salary Schedule for Classified Employees

BACKGROUND

Section 18.1-3D of the Personnel Code specifies that …

On October 1 of each year, the salary level then specified for each step in the salary administration program and all regular employees then current salary shall be adjusted up or down by the net percentage change in the cost of living computed for the six month period of time commencing January 1 and ending June 30…”

In determining the cost of living adjustment, the Town uses the Consumer Price Index-Urban Consumers (CPI-U, 1982-84). This index is calculated by the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS

The consumer price index for all urban consumers rose to 225.722 in June 2011. The December 2010 index was 219.179. This is a six-month increase in the CPI-U of 2.99%. The Cost of Living adjustment that was approved by Council and applied on April 1, 2011 was 0.56% while the 2010 adjustments were 0.11% in April and 0.93% in October.

Council approval is necessary to remain compliant with Section 18.1-3D of the Town Personnel Code. Staff recommends that the Town’s salary schedule for classified employees be amended to reflect the - 2.99% cost of living adjustment effective October 1, 2011. Town of Normal Salary Schedule 2.99% COLA added Effective October 1, 2011

A Resolution Authorizing a Loan and Security Agreement with “The Pod” for Energy Efficiency Upgrades to the Town-owned Property at 104 E. Beaufort Street

PREPARED BY: Geoff Fruin, Assistant City Manager

REVIEWED BY: Mark R. Peterson, City Manager Steven D. Mahrt, Corporation Counsel

BUDGET IMPACT: A loan of $11,958 would be provided to The Pod in the current fiscal year. The Pod will repay the loan in equal monthly installments over three years incorporating an annual interest rate of 2.25%

STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approval

ATTACHMENTS: Proposed Resolution and Agreement

BACKGROUND

On May 2nd of 2011 the Town Council entered into a license agreement with “The Pod” for use of the Town-owned space at 104 E. Beaufort in Uptown Normal. Part of the license agreement required the owners to invest in upgrading the space, which previously served as a construction office. The owners have invested significantly into the property, including installing an energy efficient HVAC system along with lighting improvements.

When developing their business model, the owners of The Pod had assumed participation in an energy efficiency revolving loan fund that was operated by the Economic Development Council. Council may recall that this loan fund was seeded with money the Town of Normal received through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. Unfortunately, during The Pod’s application process the Town was contacted by the U.S. Department of Energy and asked to reprogram the funds that were dedicated to the revolving loan fund. This request was due to the fact that no loans had been made in the first year of the program’s operation. Town staff is currently contemplating new uses for these funds and has notified the Economic Development Council that the loan program must be terminated.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS

Due to the fact that The Pod was in the middle of the application process and had completed the investment with the assumption a loan would be provided, Town staff felt was appropriate to offer a comparable loan with General Fund dollars. The proposed loan terms mirror the terms that were anticipated in the revolving loan program. Those terms include payback over three years with an annual interest rate of 2.25%. No part of the $11,958 loan is forgivable. Under the agreement the owners of The Pod will make monthly payments of $343.81 to the Town over a 36 month period.

TOWN COUNCIL ACTION REPORT

The investments by The Pod in 104 E Beaufort have greatly enhanced its appearance and functionality. Staff recommends that Council approve the proposed loan agreement. Assuming approval staff will process the loan check and begin collecting the monthly payments in accordance with the agreement.

ATTACHMENTS: Proposed Resolution; Aerial Map

BACKGROUND

On July 18, 2011, the Town Council approved the Healing Stone Court Preliminary Planned Unit Development, located at 1285 Healing Stone Court (Res. No. 4643). The approved plan calls for 36 dwelling units split among three buildings. Parking exceeds the code minimum by 3 spaces. The bulk of the green space is on the south side of the property, and includes a playground and space for a community garden. The site will be most heavily landscaped along the south and west property lines, where the property adjoins other residences. The plan does not require any code variances.

At this time the developer has submitted a Final Development Plan for approval.

Town staff has reviewed the proposed Final Development Plan for the Healing Stone Court PUD and finds it to be in substantial compliance with the approved Preliminary Development Plan. The approving resolution contains conditions prior to recording, including the requirement to pay development fees per code such as parkland and school land fees.

Thus, Town staff recommends that the Town Council conditionally and partially approve the Final Development Plan for the Healing Stone Court PUD.

TOWN COUNCIL ACTION REPORT

September 1, 2011

Resolution Authorizing the Execution of a Redevelopment Agreement with Rodney Poole and Associates for the Development of a Multi-Family Residential Building (“Liner Housing”) South of the Existing College Avenue Parking Deck at 102 West College Avenue

PREPARED BY: Wayne Aldrich, Uptown Development Director

REVIEWED BY: Mark R. Peterson, City Manager

BUDGET IMPACT: The Town will receive $56,400 as the purchase price for the property. No Town expenses, subsidies, or investments are anticipated for this project.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approval

ATTACHMENTS: Proposed Resolution; Proposed Redevelopment Agreement; Appraisal Letter; Preliminary Exterior Renderings; Aerial Map

BACKGROUND

The concept of “liner housing” has long been discussed as part of the Uptown Renewal Plan. Liner housing is used in urban areas to mask or screen a parking deck while providing relatively dense residential development with access to parking. The College Avenue parking deck was designed to allow for the future construction of liner housing along the south side of the deck.

On June 16, 2007, the Town Council approved the Resubdivision of Lot 3 of the Bank of Illinois Subdivision (Res. No. 4072). This action divided the parking deck site into two lots. The new Lot 4 encompasses the parking deck. The new Lot 5 (approximately 55 feet x 271 feet) is land for the liner housing project, as shown on the attached aerial map.

Over the past several years various developers have been interested in the concept of liner housing at this location. However, because of the economy, no development proposals have been received over the past several years until recently when Mr. Rodney Poole contacted staff with interest in the project. Mr. Poole has been involved with several housing developments, primarily in the Champaign area.

In anticipation of this project, on August 1, 2011, the Town Council initiated a zoning text amendment to allow the use of “Liner Housing” in the B-2 Central Business District. This text amendment will be discussed at the September 8, 2011 Planning Commission meeting and will return to the Town Council at its September 19, 2011 meeting for final approval.

Also in anticipation of a redevelopment agreement, Town staff advertised a Request for Proposals in accordance with statutory regulations in order to solicit potential alternate development proposals for the property. To date no alternate proposal has been received. TOWN COUNCIL ACTION REPORT

As a result, Town staff and Mr. Poole have negotiated a potential redevelopment agreement for the project.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS

The proposed project consists of a six-story, mixed-use building with the possibility of some commercial/retail space on a portion of the first floor and residential apartments on the rest of the first floor and the upper floors. The developer is currently proposing 32 units of apartments with 88 beds. The distribution would be sixteen 2- bedroom apartments, eight 3-bedroom apartments and eight 4-bedroom apartments. The distribution of apartments, as well as the commercial component of the building, have not yet been determined and are subject to further refinement with the initial and preliminary plan process. Although commercial uses on the ground floor of the project are still being considered, the developer has indicated to staff that the majority of ground floor uses will likely be residential.

The proposed redevelopment agreement is typical of other such agreements in the Uptown and includes the following major provisions:

1. PROJECT DEVELOPMENT a. Initial Plans include the exterior architectural appearance and preliminary site plans. The initial plans are to be completed within 180 days of the approval of the agreement and approved by the Town within 30 days of submission. The initial plans will be subject to review by the Uptown Design Review Commission. b. Preliminary Plans as defined in the agreement would be delivered to the Town within 90 days of the approval of the Initial Plans. The Town is required to approve or disapprove the Preliminary Plans within 30 days of receipt. c. Construction Plans for the project are due within 120 days of the approval of the Preliminary Plans. The Town is required to approve or disapprove the construction plans within 30 days of receipt. Approval of the Construction Plans can be in the form of a construction permit issued by the Town Inspection Department. 2. COMMENCEMENT and COMPLETION a. Construction is required to start within 30 days of the approval of the Construction Plans or closing on the property. b. The project is to be substantially complete within 24 months of commencement of construction. 3. TOWN OBLIGATIONS a. Amend the Zoning Code and Zoning Map to allow for the proposed project use. b. Sell the project site to the developer for a fair market value of $56,400. c. Make available to the developer 60 spaces in the College Avenue parking deck, with the developer paying the standard market rate for the spaces. 4. DEVELOPER OBLIGATIONS a. Purchase the project site for $56,400. b. Construct the project in accordance with approved plans. c. Construct any improvement to the College Avenue parking deck as required to fulfill building and fire code requirements. 5. TERMINATION – Either the Town or the developer may terminate the agreement with 10 days written notice if the other party does not comply with the agreement provisions.

The redevelopment agreement contemplates a separate agreement that will be entered into at a later date pertaining to project parking. It is understood, however, that the developer/owner will purchase parking passes for the building tenants at the same rate charged of other parking deck customers.

TOWN COUNCIL ACTION REPORT

Mr. Poole has expressed his desire to begin the project in the spring of 2012. In accordance with the agreement, the developer will submit initial and preliminary plans for Town approval. These plans will be brought to the Town Council for approval when available.

This project will allow a new development to proceed with no additional investment by the Town. The project will add additional residential development in the Uptown and provide substantial tax increment revenue. Thus, Town staff recommends approval. .

The Town, at the Town’s sole cost and expense, shall, within thirty (30) days after the Effective Date provide to the Developer a title commitment (“Title Commitment”) for an Owner’s Title Insurance Policy (“Title Policy”), issued by a title insurance company reasonably acceptable to the Developer (“Title Insurer”), together with copies of all exception documents. At Closing, the Town shall cause the Title Insurer to issue the Title Policy in the amount of Twenty Thousand Dollars ($20,000.00) (the “Land Value”); provided, however, the Developer shall have the right to have the Title Policy issued in such greater amount as the Developer may desire provided that the Developer pays any additional premium for title insurance coverage beyond the Land Value. The Developer also shall pay the premium for all title endorsements desired by the Developer. The Title Policy shall show good and marketable record title to the Project Site to be in the Developer (in accordance with the Title Commitment provided for in this Section 4.3.1), subject only to the Permitted Exceptions.

SLC-6279224-9 8 4.3.2 Survey. Within thirty (30) days after the approval of the Initial Plans, the Town shall, at its cost, obtain a survey (the “Survey”) of the Project Site, locating the out-boundaries of the Project Site and locating all matters constituting appurtenances or exceptions to title shown on the Title Commitment.

4.3.3 Objections to Title and Survey. Within thirty (30) days after the Developer’s receipt of the Title Commitment, all exception documents, and the Survey, as set forth in Sections 4.3.1 and 4.3.2 (the “Title Review Period”), the Developer shall furnish to the Town written notification (hereinafter, “Developer’s Notice”) of any objections to or defects in title of record set forth in the Title Commitment and any objections to the Survey (collectively, “Objections”). If Developer’s Notice is not given within the Title Review Period, the Developer shall be deemed to have accepted all matters then affecting title to the Real Property set forth in the Title Commitment and Survey as “Permitted Exceptions”. If the Developer’s Notice is timely given, all matters set forth in the Title Commitment and Survey, and not set forth in the Developer’s Notice, shall be deemed Permitted Exceptions. After receipt of Developer’s Notice, the Town shall have the right, at its election, to endeavor to cure Objections set forth on Developer’s Notice, and shall notify the Developer of such election within fifteen (15) days after the Town’s receipt of the Developer’s Notice. If the Town shall elect not to cure any Objection(s), the Developer, shall, within fifteen (15) business days after receiving an Election Not to Cure, elect in writing either (i) to terminate this Agreement, or (ii) to proceed to close on the Project Site subject to such Objection(s) as Permitted Exceptions. The Town shall use its best efforts to cure any Objection not named in the Town’s Election Not to Cure. Failure of the Developer to notify the Town of the Developer’s election within fifteen (15) days of receipt of the Town’s Election Not to Cure shall be deemed an election to proceed to close on the Project Site subject to such Objections as Permitted Exceptions.

If this Agreement is not terminated, then in the event (i) the Town shall fail to cure any such Objections, if any, not deemed Permitted Exceptions, as aforesaid, on or prior to the Closing, or (ii) further defects, liens, encumbrances, adverse claims, restrictions, rights-of-way, easements or other matters relating to the Town’s title to the Project Site arise, or are discovered after the effective date of the Title Commitment, and are not removed by the Town or approved in writing by the Developer on or before the date of Closing; the Town shall be in breach of this Agreement and the Developer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by giving written notice to the Town. Upon any such termination, this Agreement shall be null and void and of no further force and effect, except for the provisions hereof that expressly survive termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Town agrees to cure any mortgage, deed of trust, or other security interest or lien encumbering the Project Site and such items shall not be Permitted Exceptions.

10.3.1 No Waiver by Delay. Any delay by the Town or the Developer in instituting or prosecuting any actions or proceedings or otherwise asserting their rights under this Agreement shall not operate to act as a waiver of such rights or to deprive them of, or limit, such rights in any way (it being the intent of this provision that the Town or the Developer should not be constrained so as to avoid the risk of being deprived of, or limited in, the exercise of the remedies provided in this Agreement because of concepts of waiver, laches or otherwise); nor shall any waiver, in fact made, by the Town or the Developer with respect to any specific Event of Default by the Developer or the Town under this Agreement be considered or treated as a waiver of the rights of the Town or the Developer under this Section or, with respect to any Event of Default, under any section in this Agreement, or with respect to the particular Event of Default, except to the extent specifically waived in writing by the Town or the Developer.

10.3.2 Rights and Remedies Cumulative. Subject to Section 10.2, the rights and remedies of the parties to this Agreement (or their successors in interest), whether provided by law or by this Agreement, shall be cumulative, and the exercise by either party of any one or more of such remedies shall not preclude the exercise by it, at that time or different times, of any other such remedies for the same Event of Default by the other party. No waiver made by either party with respect to the performance, nor the manner or time thereof, or any obligation of the other party or any condition to its own obligation under the Agreement shall be considered a waiver of any rights of the party making the waiver with respect to the particular obligation of the other party, or condition to its own obligation, beyond those expressly waived in writing, and to the extent thereof, or a waiver in any respect in regard to any other rights of the party making the waiver or any other obligations of the other party.

10.3.3 Delay in Performance. For the purposes of any of the provisions of this Agreement, except with regard to payment of real estate taxes as provided herein, neither the Town, nor the Developer, as the case may be, nor any successor in interest, shall be considered in breach of, or in default of, any of its obligations hereunder, including without limitation those with respect to the beginning and completion of construction of the Project or progress in respect thereto, in the event of enforced delay in the performance of such obligation due to

SLC-6279224-9 20 unforeseeable causes beyond its control and without its fault or negligence, including, but not restricted to, acts of God, acts of the public enemy, acts of federal, state or local government, acts of the federal or state judiciary, acts of the other party, fires, floods, epidemics, quarantine restrictions, strikes, embargoes, acts of nature, unusually severe weather, labor strikes or disruptions, materials shortages or delays of subcontractors due to such causes; it being the purposes and intent of this provision that in the event of the occurrence of any such enforced delay, the time or times for performance of the applicable obligations of the Town or the Developer shall be extended for the period of the enforced delay. Provided, that the party seeking the benefit of the provisions of this Section, shall within thirty (30) days after the beginning of any such enforced delay have first notified the other party thereof in writing, of the cause or causes thereof, and requested an extension of the period of enforced delay. Such extensions of schedule shall be memorialized in writing by the parties hereto in a reasonably acceptable form, which may include, without limitation, an amendment to this Agreement.

TOWN COUNCIL ACTION REPORT

September 1, 2011

A Motion to Adopt a Proposed Constitution Trail Snow Removal Policy

PREPARED BY: Garry Little, Director of Parks and Recreation

REVIEWED BY: Mark R. Peterson, City Manager Pamela S. Reece, Deputy Assistant Manager

BUDGET IMPACT: If approved, a budget adjustment in the amount of $3,500 would be needed in line item #001-8515-452.35-10.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approval

ATTACHMENTS: Proposed Trail Clearing Policy, Map of Proposed Sections of the Constitution Trail

BACKGROUND

Since its original construction in the 1980’s, Constitution Trail within the Twin Cities has expanded to over 24 miles of shared-use paved pathway, 13 miles of which are located within the Town of Normal. When the first Trail segment between Bloomington and Normal was originally built, both communities established a policy that they would not clear snow from the trail. Budget considerations were certainly part of the rationale behind this policy, but the Town also contemplated the winter recreational use of the trail for activities such as cross-country skiing.

The Trail is one of the most popular recreational facilities within the Town, and is used extensively by residents for year-round activities including walking, running and bicycling. The trail is not only used for recreation, but has also become an important transportation route for residents to safely access businesses, transportation, schools or other facilities and neighborhoods within the community. The trail not only serves as an off-street shared path system, but also serves as a link between on-street bicycling, and for pedestrians on sidewalks to access other areas of the community. The Town of Normal Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan that was adopted by Council in 2009 stated that Constitution Trail provides the “backbone of Normal’s excellent shared use path system”.

As the Constitution Trail has grown in length to serve many new areas of the community, the number of groups, individuals and families utilizing the Trail year-round has increased significantly. With that increased use, requests to clear the Trail of snow have grown each year. The requests have not only come from user groups such as the McLean County Wheelers, Friends of the Trail, and the McLean County Wellness Coalition, but also from individuals who utilize the Trail for personal fitness, or for health and wellness programs supported by their place of employment. Numerous other requests have come from individuals using the Trail for access to work or school. With the recent construction of a large number of student apartments along the Trail, ISU students utilize portions of the Trail to walk to and from the campus. In 2010, a local resident submitted a petition to the Town signed by over 350 residents requesting that the Town change its policy and begin the clearing of snow from the Trail. TOWN COUNCIL ACTION REPORT

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS

As a result of the increased requests to the Town to clear the Trail of snow, staff was asked to review the current policy to see if there would be significant cost to the Town to clear snow from the most used segments of the Trail. Staff also reviewed what type of equipment would be needed to perform the snow clearing from the Trail.

Staff selected three sections of the Trail that are the most heavily travelled to evaluate for snow removal. These include the original section of the Trail from just north of Emerson Street through Uptown Normal to Raab Road and the Rosa Parks Commons parking area, east from the “Y” just south of the Parks and Recreation Office to Veterans Parkway, and the section of Trail along Raab Road from Linden Street east to Henry Street. Two of these routes connect neighborhoods to Unit 5 elementary schools (Colene Hoose, Prairieland). Although Trail counts along these areas have been performed by the Town Planning Division, mostly in the summer months, unofficial “footprint” counts in the snow show that these sections of the Trail are the most heavily used during the winter months. In discussions with individuals that cross country ski in the winter months, the Trail is not an ideal place to perform this activity due to the numerous road crossings. Most of these individuals go to larger park areas such as Maxwell Park or utilize golf courses in the area.

The Parks and Recreation Department currently has several pieces of equipment that could be utilized for the clearing of snow from the trail. This equipment includes sweeping attachments for light snow, and small plows that are used to clear snow from parking areas. In addition to what currently is owned by the Town, the Friends of the Trail organization has committed to donate $8,500 to the Town to purchase a snow blower to be used for bridges and street intersections. None of the equipment is large enough to be utilized on Town streets.

In reviewing the potential costs for performing the Trail clearing, staff has determined that there would not be a significant cost to the Town if the trail clearing is only accomplished during times when staff is already scheduled to work, and when the removal of all snow from Town streets, alleys, parking areas and sidewalks adjacent to park facilities has been completed. Staff would be reassigned from on-going routine winter maintenance tasks to perform the Trail clearing when available. Costs for fuel, supplies, and the maintenance and repair of equipment have been estimated by the Parks Staff to not exceed $3,500 a year for the Trail clearing. The removal of snow may create more wear or damage to the trail surface, resulting in the need to repave the Trail in a shorter time frame than is currently budgeted.

Following the recommendations of the user groups mentioned above, the application of salt or sand would not be accomplished as part of the Trail clearing process. Consequently, the Town would not undertake any ice removal activities. This may create additional liability for the Town, and signage would need to be installed at entrances to the Trail warning that the Trail surface is not kept free of ice or snow and that the use of the Trail is at the risk of the individual user.

If Council approves the clearing of snow from the designated areas of the Trail, staff recommends that the attached “Proposed Town of Normal Constitution Trail Snow Removal Policy” be adopted. Discussions have been held with the staff from the Bloomington Parks and Recreation Department, and they have responded that they will be reviewing their Trail snow clearing policy in the near future as well.

Proposed Town of Normal Constitution Trail Snow Removal Policy

The Town of Normal maintains over 13 miles of trails for the enjoyment of residents and visitors to the community. The Parks and Recreation Department will undertake the clearing of snow from designated portions of the Constitution Trail under the following guidelines. This policy has been developed based upon the recognition that there are limited community resources for snow removal activities, and that snow removal on the Trail segments will be the Town’s lowest snow clearing priority behind streets, alleys and Town parking lots. With the inherent nature and variability of winter conditions, it is the responsibility of trail users to use common sense when utilizing the trail for recreational and alternative transportation activities.

Trail Snow Removal Policies

• Trail snow removal by the Parks and Recreation Department will not begin until regularly assigned snow clearing work at parking lots, Uptown areas under the responsibility of the Town, and sidewalks that are adjacent to park facilities have been completed. Further, trail snow removal activities will not commence until all Town streets are cleared of snow. • Trail snow clearing will occur only during regularly scheduled work shifts, Monday through Friday. Overtime compensation will not be expended to clear trails during non-work hours. • Breakdown of equipment will result in delays in snow clearing until repairs are made. Every attempt will be made to continue the clearing of snow after the repairs are made, within the scheduled work shifts. • Due to surrounding landscapes and property, trails will not be cleared or maintained at dry pavement level. Materials such as sand and salt will not be used, unless deemed necessary in select locations by the parks staff. Surface irregularities and icy conditions may result. The use of Constitution Trail is at the risk of the individual user. • Due to the construction of the trails, the use of heavy equipment such as backhoes or dump trucks will not be used for snow removal. No hauling of snow away from the trail will occur due to potential damage to the trail surface or edges. • The removal of snow from the Trail is based on the availability of Parks staff to perform the work. There are no guarantees that the removal of snow will occur within a specific time period following a snow fall.

The Trail will be cleared of snow as follows:

• The Trail from just north of Emerson Street through Uptown Normal to Raab Road and the Rosa Parks Commons parking area. • The Trail east from the “Y” just south of the Parks and Recreation Office to Veterans Parkway. • The Trail along Raab Road from Linden Street east to Henry Street.

This policy is subject to change by authorization of the Normal Town Council. WILDBERRY RAAB RAAB MAEVE CARRIAGE HILLS SUELYNN STANHOPE

BUDGET IMPACT: N/A

STAFF RECOMMENDATION: That the report be received and placed on file.

ATTACHMENTS: 2010-11 Financial Trend and Condition Report under separate cover.

BACKGROUND

Under separate cover, you received a report prepared by the Town’s Finance Department entitled “Financial Trend and Condition Report” for the Fiscal Year 2010-2011. This report presents an overview of the Town’s current financial condition, as well as a discussion on the Town’s fiscal outlook as it relates to several financial strategies. As you are aware, this report has been prepared on an annual basis since 1988 and has been useful to both Staff and Council as part of the annual budget preparation process.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS

The Trend report is intended to provide a historical perspective on a variety of issues that impact the financial condition of the Town. It focuses on seven categories of indicators that provide a glimpse into the financial stability of Normal, with a particular emphasis on the General Fund. Each indicator is described according to its impact on the financial health of the Town. In order for trends to be illustrated, a historical perspective on each indicator is provided. Each indicator is given a rating of (P)ositive, (N)egative or (U)nclassified.

Below is a summary of the last three years of indicator ratings.

The Town has seen an improvement in the indicators as compared to the prior year and this improvement is particularly true with the “Financial Strategies” category. This category measures the Town’s financial position against its established fiscal management goals. As of FY2010-11 and based on current revenue and expenditure projections, the Town is achieving all of its fiscal management goals.

This in effect means the Town is operating from a positive financial position as reserves that were initially brought down by the recession have been restored. The Town must continue to remain vigilant as a TOWN COUNCIL ACTION REPORT great deal of uncertainty remains with the State’s economy, but we are starting the budget process for FY2012-13 from a solid financial position.

Staff will provide an overview of the findings presented in the report as well as highlight a few of the more significant financial indicators.

FY 2010-11 TREND EVALUATION

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The 2010-11 Financial Trend and Condition report is intended to provide a historical perspective on a variety of issues that impact the financial condition of the Town of Normal. This report focuses on seven categories of indicators that provide a glimpse into the financial stability of Normal, with a particular emphasis on the General Fund. Overall, there are 36 indicators analyzed in this report. Each indicator is described according to its impact on the financial health of the Town. In order for trends to be illustrated, a historical perspective on each indicator is provided. Finally, each indicator is given a rating of (P)ositive, (N)egative or (U)nclassified.

Each category of indicators is intended to describe an economic or fiscal condition that either directly or indirectly impacts the financial stability of Normal. The categories of indicators, along with a brief summary of the findings and changes to the report are listed below.

The Waste Removal Costs Supported by Fees indicator was eliminated this year. The method utilized to evaluate waste removal costs is currently under review by the Public Works Director. This indictor is considered an important element of the Trend Evaluation report and will be added back in a future year.

The community growth indicators continue again this year to paint a challenging outlook and even present conflicting local economic signals. Assessed values in the community continue to rise, although not as strongly as in past years. Total construction permits were down 0.2% from the previous year, despite a slight increase in housing permits.

The average sales price for new homes increased 5.5% from the previous year and the average sales price for existing homes increased 7.7%. This rebound from last year would seem to indicate the community is returning to a more positive economy but staff remains cautious as the housing market is widely considered to be in a continued fragile state.

Airport ridership increased to a record high in 2010, a 13% increase over the previous year. This is another indicator of a recovery in the local Normal-Bloomington economy.

The Town’s unemployment rate (6.2%) has increased for the fourth year in a row and is a direct result of the National economy and its impact locally.

The Town’s revenue sources continue to remain relatively diverse. Total Revenue for FY2010-11 increased 9% as compared to the previous year which experienced minimal growth. State income tax declined again this year, although only 0.8%, compared to the previous year’s decline of 17.8%. Both State and local sales receipts increased. The 20.3% increase in local sales tax was driven by a ¼% rate increase effective in July, 2010. Utility tax revenue increased 2.9%. The Town’s municipal property tax rate decreased slightly from last year, and still remains the lowest among comparable central Illinois cities. The Town’s community property tax rate (all taxing bodies within Normal) increased 14.6 cents but also remains among the lowest in the surrounding central Illinois communities.

Public Safety (30.7%) and funds expended on Community Development (21.7%) accounted for the bulk of government expenditures in FY 2011. Health claim costs per employee decreased significantly as compared to the prior year.

The Overlapping Debt as a Percent of Assessed Value decreased from 22.51% to 22.05%. The Town’s Long-Term Debt per capita increased from $79.80 to $81.00 due to the sale of additional bonds.

General Fund cash dramatically increased 72.7% from the previous year’s ending balance due to a budget projected surplus combined with lower than expected expenditures. Police and Fire pension percent of funding levels fell as a result of the difficult investment market. Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund funding level decreased as well from 72.8% in 2009 to 68.9% in 2010. The Water Fund experienced improvements in both its revenue and cash and investment positions, as did the Sewer fund. The Health and Dental Insurance Fund balance ended $900,000 higher for FY2011 due to lower than projected claim activity and health program changes.

The Town has managed to navigate the recent economic recession better than many municipalities its size primarily due to its healthy balance sheet and the resilient local economy of the Bloomington/Normal area. However, what condition the economy will ultimately stabilize at is uncertain and any continued or unexpected revenue shortfalls could press further into the Town’s financial position.

The difficult spending cuts and revenue enhancements made during the past few years and the continued careful budget planning have helped the Town navigate the fiscal crisis the past several years. The recession is considered over, but recovery continues to be very slow and uncertain, which calls for a continued vigilance on the part of the Town to manage its fiscal position as we enter the FY2012-13 budget cycle.

This is the fourth year the Town has experienced growth below the 5% benchmark. For this reason along with the continued uncertainty of the State and National economy and specifically the housing market, staff rated the trend as negative.

Financial Strategies

General Fund Operating Reserves – Positive Outlook with caution

Management Strategy: Maintain a projected 10% minimum fund balance for all budget years presented in the 5-year budget. The Town will consider, during the FY2012-13 budget process, increasing the minimum to 15% due to its heavy reliance on sales tax that will fluctuate with changes related to the national economic conditions.

Operating reserves are an essential fiscal policy for any local government. An adequate fund balance in the General Fund helps:

• Maintain working capital for paying bills in a timely manner • Finance cash flow needs and avoids short-term borrowing given seasonal revenue streams • Provide for unanticipated needs • Provide resources to take advantage of unexpected opportunities • Provide a key indicator of fiscal health for rating agency reviews

Measuring the General Fund Operating Reserve

As part of the budget planning process, Finance calculates the fund balance for budgetary purposes (spendable fund balance and/or liquidity) as the year ending cash balance less current liabilities. This projection of General Fund balance takes into account the FY2010-11 results and projections from the approved budget for FY2011-12.

Vehicle and Equipment Reserves – Positive Outlook

Management Strategy: Maintain the Vehicle and Equipment reserve fund balance at 110% of the average spending for the most current projected 5 year budget plan. We are achieving this strategy in all years projected.

The VE reserve fund is used to accumulate resources to fund the replacement of the Town’s vehicle and equipment needs. It is essentially an extension of the General Fund and, by management practice, funds are set aside each year to pay for vehicle and equipment replacement needs. The necessary fund balance or reserve level that should be maintained is a function of management judgment and the anticipated replacement costs of various vehicles and equipment.

Contingency Funding – Positive Outlook

Management strategy: Maintain an annual contingency amount equal to 1% of General Fund expenditures

Given the fact that the Town historically uses all of its contingency funds, management is working towards maintaining an annual contingency fund equal to 1% of planned General Fund expenditures. This will help grow the contingency amount in relationship with the Town’s service/expenditure needs.

Debt Management Capacity - Positive Outlook

Management Strategy for Capacity: Keep current and projected annual debt service payments at or below 10% of General Fund annual revenue.

Total General Net Debt Service Debt Payment/ Fiscal Year Fund Rev Payment Gen Rev FYE10 45,535,405 3,694,444 8.1% FYE11 48,963,390 3,625,493 7.4% FYE12 49,163,772 3,785,854 7.7% FYE13 50,575,193 3,947,376 7.8% FYE14 52,706,782 4,138,359 7.9% FYE15 54,186,012 4,187,763 7.7% FYE16 56,219,326 4,514,765 8.0%

This strategy serves only as a general guideline, as specific situations/circumstances will impact the amount of debt the Town is willing to issue and each debt issue decision must be considered on a case by case basis.

Debt Management Coverage – Positive Outlook Management Strategy for Coverage: Keep projected annual revenue and reserve balances set aside for projected debt service payments at specific coverage ratios. These ratios are 1.00 for annual revenue to annual debt service and 1.25 for annual revenue plus carry forward reserves to annual debt service.

Coverage ratio (1) compares the projected annual revenue made available for debt service to the projected annual debt service payment. A coverage ratio of 1.0 means the Town’s dedicated revenue for a specific year equals the planned debt service.

Coverage ratio (2) compares the projected annual revenue plus carry-forward reserves available for debt service to the projected annual debt service payment. Specific targets are set for both coverage ratios. These ratios are based on the debt program as adopted in the FY2011-12 Budget

Health Insurance Reserve – Positive Outlook

Management Strategy: Maintain a reserve balance equal to the four highest expense months from the most recently closed fiscal year. The projected fund balance is above our management strategy; therefore, the outlook was rated as positive.

This is a fairly conservative approach to reserve levels, but staff feels it is appropriate for the following reasons.

• Small employee base – adds potential for significant swings in expected claims • Older employee base – adds potential for higher than usual claim expense • Provides for smoothing out spikes in premium charges • Provides flexibility to manage premium increases • Provides flexibility to manage benefit increases

Below is our calculation of the reserve as well as projections from the adopted FY2011-12 budget.

TOWN COUNCIL ACTION REPORT

September 1, 2011

Presentation of a Hotel Market Study Conducted by HVS Hospitality Consultants and Discussion of Alternative Courses of Action

PREPARED BY: Mark R. Peterson, City Manager

BUDGET IMPACT: N/A

STAFF RECOMMENDATION: That a Request for Development Proposals for the One Uptown Circle site be prepared and disseminated to development entities throughout the Midwest.

ATTACHMENTS: Hotel Market Study

BACKGROUND

The Town entered into a redevelopment agreement for the parcel in Uptown commonly referred to One Uptown Circle in 2007 with One Main Development of Champaign, Illinois. One Main had proposed to develop a mixed use building including ground for retail, office and residential uses. Due to the national economy and the difficulty in financing real estate development projects, this project did not move forward. On October 18, 2010, the Town Council took action to terminate its development agreement with One Main Development due to their inability to complete the project as proposed. At that time, the Council also asked staff to pursue other development alternatives for the site.

Over the course of the past several months, staff has made contact with several interested development companies throughout the Midwest. In the last few months, the staff has engaged in substantive conversations with developers interested in constructing both luxury market rate apartments as well as a limited service/extended stay hotel on the subject property. In all cases, the developers have indicated a willingness to include ground floor retail which would be in accordance with the Uptown Renewal Plan.

The concept of an extended stay hotel on the site was initially thought to be a reasonable compromise from owner occupied condominiums or luxury apartments. A hotel use, we believe, would provide a residential type presence in the Uptown area that would help support the restaurants and other retail businesses throughout the district. However, concerns were raised about how an additional hotel might impact the Marriott Hotel and Conference Center which opened in November of 2009. Further, there were some questions as to whether there was sufficient market demand for another extended stay hotel within the Bloomington Normal area.

In response to these questions, the Town Council authorized the engagement of HVS International to conduct a hotel market study looking specifically at the feasibility of a second hotel, either limited service or extended stay, in Uptown Normal and how such a hotel might impact the Uptown Marriott Hotel and Conference Center. HVS had been previously engaged on two separate occasions by the Town to undertake hotel studies. In 2000, HVS undertook an extensive market study to evaluate the feasibility of a full service hotel and conference center in Uptown Normal. A few years ago, they were engaged to TOWN COUNCIL ACTION REPORT study the local hotel market as it related to possible redevelopment of the old Holiday Inn property in north Normal. Regarding the latter, a hotel development company from Freeport, Illinois, Swift Hospitality, has purchased the hotel and has indicated a plan to redevelop that hotel under a Radisson flag.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS

The proposed hotel study was completed and delivered to the Town on August 9, 2011. In summary, the hotel market study has reached the following conclusions:

1. The local hotel/lodging market is very competitive and is, at the present time, not growing to any great extent. 2. There is limited demand for additional extended stay type hotel services within the community. 3. The impact on the Normal Marriott Hotel by the planned Radisson in north Normal could be significant. The Radisson will be a direct competitor to the Marriott Hotel and would likely have a significant impact on the Marriott’s occupancy levels and its average daily room rates. 4. An extended stay or limited service hotel in Uptown Normal, on the Uptown One Circle site, would have some impact on the Marriott Hotel but that impact would likely be modest. 5. The consultants concluded that if the proposed Radisson project in north Normal goes forward, that the Town should not provide public support for another hotel in Uptown Normal given the significant impact two new hotel projects could have on the Uptown Marriott.

Staff continues to have conversations with Swift Hospitality. Their plans for the redevelopment of the Holiday Inn into a Radisson appear to be moving forward. In fact, staff is in the process of negotiating a development agreement with Swift Hospitality which would give them the opportunity to take advantage of financial support from the existing Tax Increment Financing District that was set up a few years ago to assist in the redevelopment of that old hotel property. Given the fact that the Radisson project appears to be moving forward, the Council now must consider the appropriateness of supporting, with various financial incentives, another hotel in the Uptown area. As has been shared with the Council, the staff has been contacted by at least two developers that have expressed significant interest in developing a hotel in Uptown Normal. However, in both cases, in order for those projects to move forward, a commitment of substantial public support would be necessary.

As has also been reported to Council, staff has had recent conversations with a few developers interested in developing market rate luxury apartments above ground floor retail on the Uptown One site. Although no formal proposals have been submitted, staff also believes that those developers would require substantial public assistance in order to undertake those projects.

Therefore, staff recommends that the Town Council authorize issuance of a Request for Proposals (RFP) from developers pertaining to the Uptown One Circle site. Those RFP’s could be limited in the following ways:

1. A very open ended RFP that solicits any and all proposed uses with a requirement for retail uses on the ground floor. 2. An RFP limiting the uses to either limited service or extended stay hotel above ground floor retail. 3. An RFP limiting the uses to luxury apartments above ground floor retail. 4. An RFP limiting the uses to either hotel or luxury apartment proposals above ground floor retail.

TOWN COUNCIL ACTION REPORT

Staff believes that there are developers interested in the project. However, capital financing for these types of speculative real estate projects is still very difficult to obtain. There is no question that substantial public assistance via TIF rebates along with Sales Tax and Food & Beverage Tax rebates would likely be required in order for a quality development to be feasible.

Staff believes that an RFP could be assembled within the next two to three weeks and distributed to development companies throughout the Midwest in that same time frame. It would be our suggestion that the Council provide 30-45 days for development companies to review the proposal and to assemble their responses. A 30 day review period for staff to evaluate all proposals would likely be necessary. Consequently, staff believes that a recommendation could be forwarded to Council, concerning the development of this property, in late November or early December. It is likely that the selected developer will still require anywhere from 60 to 120 days additional time for further due diligence to verify the feasibility of the project and to confirm cost projections and to solidify the necessary public participation in order to secure financing.

- 21 - IV. Conclusions

- 22 - Conclusions § Increase in room supply has potential to: § Reduce the Marriott’s occupancy rates § Slow the rate of increase of Marriott room rates § Negatively effect the net income of the Marriott § Opening of the Radisson Hotel would have a more significant impact on rate and occupancy than the extended stay property due to the larger number of rooms and extensive ballroom and meeting space. § Opening of the Extended-Stay Hotel would have a modest effect on the occupancy and rates of the Marriott Hotel. We estimated 1,800 additional room nights annually would be added to the market due to increase use of the Conference Center. § The combined effect of both hotels opening has the potential to decrease net operating income of the Marriott by 32%. § Public support of the Extended-Stay Hotel should only occur if the Radisson does not successfully open. § The Marriott needs to take steps to counter the negative impact of the potential opening of the Radisson through more aggressive marketing efforts.
