Council Member Smith-Esters moved, seconded by Council Member Davis, to approve Special Ordinance 22-613 on final reading approving an Intergovernmental Agreement with Community Unit School District #205 for the purchase of the former Churchill Middle School located at 905 Maple Avenue.

City Attorney Brad Nolden explained that the School District has a right of first refusal, which means that if the City sold the building in the future, the District would have the option of purchasing it first.

Council Member Cox stated that uses for the building seem to cover a wide variety and are likely too many. These include a homeless shelter, fitness center, 24/7 daycare, rooms for education, etc. He does not feel that it is the government's role to provide all these services but to instead assist the private or nonprofit sector in providing such things. He also stated that once we approve this item, the building becomes City property and is our’s to sell if needed.

Council Member Cox moved, seconded by Council Member Dennis, to table agenda item 22-1013 until further information on what services or programs would be held in the building, as well as renovation costs.

Roll Call #5:

Ayes: Council Members Hix, Dennis, and Cox, 3.

Nays: Council Members Wallace, White, Smith-Esters, and Davis, 4.

Absent: None

Chairman declared motion failed.

Council Member Smith-Esters stated that she believes this is a great opportunity for the City and that we need to take on this project. She noted that the City doesn’t have to use the whole building and that the study will assist with those issues.

Council Member Hix stated that he feels the City should be doing the study before we take ownership of the building. Once the City owns it, we will have to maintain it, mow the property, watch for any roof leaks, etc. He also inquired about the Mayor’s suggestion that funds from the Economic Development Sales Tax be used for the property. The City Manager stated that the City Council would have to amend the Resolution as to what the quarter cent sales tax be designated for if not economic development. It was noted that there is approximately $4 million in the fund at this time.

Mayor Schwartzman reminded the Council that the decision of what will be spent on the building is not up for approval tonight. However, he believes the project would attract people since it would make Galesburg a more viable and engaged community.

Council Member Hix asked Finance Director Gloria Osborn about the possible cost of bonds. Director Osborn stated that it would depend on the bond and that other factors would have to be considered such as the interest, cost to insure them, fee the City would have to pay to have them sold, and the number of years they were to be paid off. The example given was a $4 million bond over 20 years would likely pay $2 million in interest over those 20 years.

It was noted that the City has purchased bonds before for the Water Treatment Plant, the Logistics Park, and most recently, for street and sidewalk maintenance.

Council Member Davis noted that Churchill is currently owned by the School District, who receives tax dollars, and that the City owning it would be no different in terms of taxpayers and property taxes received. She stated that the Council has received many emails with opinions but added that the Council Members don’t just represent the voters, but instead all people. She stated that only 13 percent of the population voted in the last election and that many who didn’t vote are the ones in need of a community center.

Council Member Davis would like to create a space where services are consolidated so that individuals aren’t running all over town getting assistance. She understands that the dollar figure is daunting but that the project would be a multi-year budget. She also noted that the government is not a business and that we are not here to make a profit but instead to serve people and the community, especially those who need it the most.

The Mayor requested that everyone hold their applause.

Council Member Hix stated that the definition of opportunity cost is the value of the next-best alternative when a decision is made and what is given up. He implored the Council to prioritize the needs of the City and the community center capital project and its ongoing maintenance costs.

Council Member Hix reiterated that he is in favor of a community center but not at this location. He also does not believe this is the best use of City funds and would hope that a project of this size had broader consensus from the Council.

Council Member Smith-Esters stated that everyone has [household] budgets and that people change them and figure out how to make it work. She suggested that fines, issued by the CSO’s, could be raised since she has been told they are low. She also stated that teens and seniors have waited nine years for a place to go.

Council Member White stated that Churchill was not his first choice and that he initially wanted a new building but didn't believe something as large or glorious as Churchill could be built for $10 million. He also never understood why the City sold the former Community Center and that the sale wasn’t put to a vote at that time. He expressed that if the City accepts the building tonight, there would be no cost and that it can always be sold in the future.

Council Member Dennis stated that he checked on the numbers of the former Community Center and that the last year the City had it it only hosted 112 events and brought in $7,000 in revenue. Expenses were over $100,000.

Council Member Wallace believes that these arguments against the project are scare tactics and that he hopes a new city manager will be able to find grants for the project. He feels that it is the City’s responsibility to offer these types of services and that the City would not spend recklessly on programs and believes that there are many grants that could be found. He added that the City owes it to kids and seniors in our community to have a place for them, especially the lower economic group.

Andrew Jowers addressed the Council and thanked them for their prayers over the death of their daughter. He noted that he can feel the tension in the room and hopes that everyone can come together under love. He also stated that the majority of the Council has spoken and that the three Council Members against the project need to think about the community.

Daniel Leahy asked if the City needed a community center and wondered if there was a building in the community that was turnkey and less than $5 million. He quoted information from the book Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill.

Demetrius Turner addressed the Council and stated that he is sick and tired of everyone talking about money and not thinking about the youth. He feels that Churchill is the perfect spot.

Corine Andersen addressed the Council and stated that programming is what meets the needs of residents, not a building. As a smaller town, she would like to see the City work with other organizations such as the YMCA and expand services in partnership with them. She recommended that the Council is moving too fast and that they need to postpone the purchase until a study is done. Andersen also stated that she worked with the Library for many years and applying for grants is a difficult task and one that takes a long time. She again reiterated that this is a huge project that needs more discussion and a plan.

Joy Basosa-Nzumba, Youth Commission Co-Chair, addressed the Council and believes that the Council needs to look at other options and to possibly utilize a new building first. She noted the new Library could be an option for some of the youth and senior programming.

Eciel Burns, Youth Commission Member, stated that Churchill could attract younger kids for programs and that possibly volunteers would step up to assist. Burns added that possibly private contractors could be used who would donate their time and the entire community could help with maintenance.

Demarkius Medley addressed the Council and stated that he understood that the price tag for the project is scary but that a community center is much needed. He stated that he grew up on the west side of Chicago and the youth programs that were available to him during his teen years. He envisions a place that would be similar to this for Churchill and hopes that the Council can come together to show Galesburg they care about the youth. He’s glad to see a progressive Council with women and people of color as members.

Rob Derry addressed the Council and stated that he doesn’t know many people who are in favor of Churchill and wondered if there is a need for a community center. He noted that the former community center was sold because it wasn’t used and he believes there are much better options available that could offer the same services being discussed. He is in favor of a sports complex, which would help the youth and adults and bring in visitors.

Jack Templeton thanked the Council for letting him speak and noted that his grandmother was responsible for the building of Churchill. He is concerned about the quick movement and pace of acquiring the building without knowing all the costs. He added that he is not against the project but wondered if Churchill is the right fit. He hopes the Council can step back and look at the bigger picture.

Brother Shabazz addressed the Council and believes they are too focused on profit instead of service and that they need to serve the voiceless. He stated that the level of need in our community is shocking and he feels that many of the Council Members are out of touch. He added that the library would be too small for the City’s massive need. He advised that the Council Members that are against the project need to publicly support it with reservations and compromise.

Council Member Hix left the meeting at 7:13 p.m.

Darla Krejci addressed the Council and stated that she has a non profit called AGES Community (Actively Growing, Educating and Sustaining) and she campaigned for a community center ten years ago. She commented that it breaks her heart to see this has become such a contentious and divisive issue. She feels that the purchase of the building is low-risk and can be sold back if needed. She asked the Council to have faith and to please move forward.

Council Member Hix returned to the meeting at 7:15 p.m.

Council Member White left the meeting at 7:18 p.m.

Mike Acerra addressed the Council and believes that everyone has the kids of the community in mind. Besides living here, he and his wife have a business in Galesburg and have been involved in helping with youth activities. They have hired many kids for their business, including Knox and Carl Sandburg College students and for this reason, Galesburg has been awesome for their family. He stated that having a large building for programs isn’t the only answer and way people can get involved or volunteer. He doesn’t believe there is nothing for kids to do in town and that we have beautiful parks, Lakeside, and other amazing things and many times they are empty.

Acerra stated that he doesn’t understand what the hurry is to purchase this building and that it’s too bad kids at the other schools would have to travel to this building for a teen center instead of staying at their respective schools. He is in favor of a community center but that it needs to be more than birthday parties like the former center.

Council Member White returned to the meeting at 7:21 p.m.

Jim Jacobs addressed the Council and feels that if the vote on this item is delayed that it will continue to be delayed through other tactics to keep from building a community center. He stated that the former Library building does not have a gym, a kitchen, and has limited use possibilities.

Council Member Davis left the meeting at 7:21 p.m.

Jacobs further stated that he went to the Churchill open house and was surprised at the good condition of the building. He noted that he used to teach the preamble to the Constitution and one clause is to promote general welfare. He believes the building would be multi-purpose and the focal point of the community. He noted that taking possession of the building doesn’t cost anything and volunteer labor could be used.

Reverend Hailey addressed the Council and stated that when he lived in Quincy they built the Kroc Center which was a $40 million project.

Council Member Davis returned to the meeting at 7:25 p.m.

Reverend Hailey went on to say that he can also feel the tension in the room and hopes everyone can come together and move forward. He encouraged the Council to remember the youth and to work together.

Anthony Law addressed the Council and stated that programming should trump any building. He noted that the Quincy Kroc Center cost $20 million to build with an additional $20 million endowment. He implored the Council to think about the kids in the future and the cost to sustain and maintain the building, which would fall on them. He stated that the study should be a crucial first step and feels that Council is making a major decision with little information.

Kit Wilcox stated that he understands the need and want for something for kids and is not opposed to it. He would recommend the City look at a 90-day option to purchase agreement with the School District so that everyone can move forward.

He noted that it is not a needs analysis and won’t determine what is needed in the community, such as specific programs, users, and space in the building.

CLOSING COMMENTS

Council Member Smith-Esters stated that she had the privilege to witness the swearing in of Haley Stevenson, the first female firefighter in Galesburg, this morning. She will begin this historic journey by attending fire training at the University of Illinois for 10 weeks. She also expressed her sympathy at the loss of Deputy Weist and hailed his sacrifice for our community by putting a uniform on to protect us.

Council Member Cox thanked City Manager Thompson for his years of service and wished him good luck. He also announced that there are still several summer openings for teens with the City. He also stated that he believes that the best thing the Council can do for our teens is to provide a physically healthy community and that increasing our standard of living should be our number one priority.

Council Member Hix welcomed Elizabeth Varner as the interim Parks & Recreation Director. He added that he will miss Todd Thompson and that he has enjoyed working with him and appreciated all he’s done for the City. He also asked that everyone keep the Weist family in their prayers.

Council Member Dennis also thanked Thompson for his service and for his open door policy.

Council Member Wallace said his heart goes out to Deputy Weist’s family and that being part of a brotherhood like law enforcement benefitted him personally. He thanked him for his service and protection.

Council Member Wallace also stated that he believes anyone who is educated understands systemic and institutional racism but that it is an ongoing education process. He got a job in 1989 under Affirmative Action and stated that it evened the playing field but also understands that it wasn’t always fair. He sees things moving in the right direction and that Galesburg is taking a lead in this endeavor.

He also gave farewell wishes to the City Manager and welcomed Elizabeth Varner back to the City.

Council Member White added that he was glad to see Haley Stevenson was sworn in today and is glad to see the City moving in the right direction by hiring minorities and women. He stated that he enjoyed the tree planting at H.T. Custer Park for Arbor Day and he also thanked the youth who helped with tours for the Churchill open house.

Council Member White thanked the City Manager for his service and added that he will be used as his measuring stick for future managers. He also appreciated Thompson’s open door policy. He also stated that people of color in the United States are working hard and moving forward and can’t always look to see what is holding them back. People of color live in different neighborhoods because that is what they are aligned to, their healthcare is a little different, as well as insurance, but everyone needs to strive to change it all.

Vida Schultz thanked the Council for their vote on Hawthorne Poole tonight and is looking forward to working with Elizabeth Varner and Chelsea Moberg on programming for the pool.

Mayor Schwartzman gave his condolences to the Weist family as well as all officers who are feeling the pain and trauma from the incident. He thanked the City Manager for his eleven years of service and appreciates his work during this community transition.
