Village Manager/Village Board Comments
President Mueller announced that on April 18th the Village will host a Community Blood |
Drive, those wanting to donate should contact Carol 620-5712. The drive will beheld |
here at Village Hall from 1:00 p.m. until 7:00 p.m. |
He reported that when budgets were discussed with the Mayors' Conference they also |
discussed Senate Bill 1429, which calls for sharing of Sales Tax dollars for any major |
purchase in Lombard by a resident of say Wheaton, for example, if they bought a car or |
furniture in Lombard, the sales tax would go to Wheaton instead of Lombard. He |
pointed out that it would have a tremendous affect on Lombard because we have a |
regional mall, car dealers and major businesses. He encouraged Board Members to |
contact their Senators and tell them what a major affect this would have on us. |
The President also spoke regarding House Bill 1500, which is about Cable Franchising. |
He explained that we have welcomed other franchisees to come into the Village, |
currently the industry is regulated by the Federal Government. We only control and |
mediate service problems. Now AT&T is coming into the Chicagoland market and they |
are going through the State of Illinois. There are 50 pages of a proposal from AT&T. |
They also wish to have the right to come onto an individual's property and condemn it |
for one dollar and put that large box on your property or Village Property. They also |
want to pick and choose their customers. We want a service to serve all our residents |
and we don't want this huge box on our property or yours. We welcome Competition |
that is fair and not harmful to our residents. |
Trustee Tross echoed his concerns with the cable box saying this would mean that we |
would not only have them in the Right Of Way, but also on the Utility Easements in |
people's back yard, they wouldn't have to give money to me and wouldn't have to ask |
me. We need competitive companies but on a level playing field, they are in Springfield |
usurping our revenues and powers. The rates increased when they became controlled |
by the Federal Government. President Mueller, in follow up to Sebby's coments, said |
he will be showing Mayor Pradle on Open Mike regarding this issue. |

and owners will be scrutinized by the Police Department. Trustee Soderstrom said that |
there is no issue, the follow through has been done by staff and the Plan Commission |

Other Matters
Consideration of a Motion to Override |
The Village President's Veto of the motion to waive competitive bidding and award a |
contract to Heneghan Wrecking Company in an amount not to exceed $149,675.00 for |
the demolition of the DuPage Theatre and Shops. (2/3 Vote of the Trustees Required) |
A.
Mary Anne Eastman 110 S. Charlotte said it is time to let it go and to eliminate the |
structure and not develop the building proposed, which invades the neighborhood and |
creates problems with parking and water retention. |
Kevin Fitzpatrick said the Theater is on life support. He felt that some of our |
representatives showed indignation towards the groups who filed a lawsuit against the |
Village and towards President Mueller for his veto. He said that is his right. He urged |
the Board to slow down, he is seeing a different view. Fitzpatrick said that some of the |
representatives don't even respond to his emails. He said Public Officials should not |
mislead the public about TIF. He said that the representatives don't all understand TIF. |
He said he was working hard for the candidate in District 5. The public says that they |
don't like the way Board is handling the subject.. |
Laura Fitzpatrick said that what the Maple Street Chapel, Lilacia Park and the Theater |
have in common is that they are beautiful, historic and part of the historic downtown. |
She suggested using the theater for wedding receptions and a fine banquet facility and |
during the week for business events. She said that weddings bring in good revenue. |
She said the outdoor facility in Elmhurst is so lucretive, they are converting the Wilder |
Mansion for such events. She read from the Elmhurst paper regarding the project. She |
highlighted other communities' adaptive reuse projects, and said that we are knocking |
down this magnificent building. |
Brad Janisch thanked the President and Trustees and said he didn't envy the Board's |
decision but urged them to make the right decision. He said that the theater is in |
disrepair and what has remained consistant through the years is that all the proposals |
have failed, the building continues to crumble and has taken focus off the core of the |
downtown district. |
Pat Poskocil spoke on behalf of the Historical Commission and read letter from the |
Commission's Presiden, Rita Schneider, regarding their record of supporting the |
President's action to keep moving forward with the RSC proposal. She said that many |
have worked on this project and want us to benefit from this gift of the theater. She |
further explained that the Historical Commission has met with state and national |
historical preservation foundations and continued to work with the Lombard Town |
Centre and the Main Street Program to preserve our historical downtown. The |
Commission recognizes this building as an historical site and this building is one of two |
in Lombard on the National Register. She thanked Board for the opportunity to shape |
the future of our downtown and the citizens. She urged the Board to pursue the |
proposals available. |
President Mueller said he was offended by something received from a Trustee. He had |
sent a letter explaining his veto, this was a personal letter from him. He said that he had |
gotten an emailed letter from a resident that a Trustee shared his communication with a |
resident. He read the attached letter. He pointed out that we are in the process of |
huge community progress, the Highlands of Lombard, Fountain Square the theater and |
the Yorktown expansion. He asked the Board to continue with this project by sustaining |
his veto. He said that he had communicated with the Library and Historical Society for |
inclusion in this project along with a community center. |
Trustee Florey said that the theater was on its death bed and then was revived by |
Trustee Tross when we were told that that the lobby and facade can be preserved. He |
said that he was disappointed, discouraged and beaten down. This Board is wasting the |
gift given to us. We can't violate the trust of our constituents, which will be the case if |
this is overturned. |
President Mueller said that the President is given the right to veto the Board's decision |
Trustee Tross said that he was disappointed as well, private owners of the property |
have abandoned the "Grand Dame", Big Idea abandoned their plan after that we had a |
plan which had suggested the developer would restore the theater. The issue was |
always that of doing what the people want. He said that he took the time and sent a |
survey to 2,316 households within his district, he said he will vote the way his |
constituents did, but he did say that he saw comments as to why the Board has waited |
so long. He said that the gift was accepted for families, the community and the children |
and will work with a developer or other governmental agencies to accomplish that. He |
thanked the President and his wife Eileen for hosting him, when they opened the survey |
results and tallied them, the overwhelming majority voted to demolish and move on. He |
thanked President Mueller for being the tabulator. |
Trustee Gron said that if RSC is the culprit , why does the the theater have to suffer. |
We say we would like a theater and yet we want to tear it down and rebuild where we |
just tore the walls down. He pointed out that they had tried to make changes at the |
request of the residents on Charlotte. He said that changes occur with any project. The |
concept where the theater stays would be a win win situation, get rid of RSC and go on |
with this., he suggested that we tear down the parts that are not good and build a state |
of the art theater behind it. We could save the facade, preserve the historical presence, |
attract shoppers and get rid of RSC. |
