MEMORANDUM
To:Mayor Argoudelis and Trustees
From: Chief Miller
Date:12/2/22
Re:Purchase Request
Background Findings
I am seeking the approval to expend $12,000 to purchase 40 Target Gift Cards to be utilized during the Shop with
a Cop event Thursday, December 22, 2022, at the Plainfield Target. The gift cards will be utilized by the children to
purchase Christmas presents for themselves and their families.
The Plainfield Police Department has partnered with Plainfield School District and Oswego School District, since
2008 to conduct Shop with a Cop. Under this program, the School Districts nominate worthy children whose
families are struggling financially. The students gain an opportunity to shop with a Plainfield Police Officer and
purchase Christmas presents for their families. The $12,000 will allow us to provide 40 students with some much-
needed Holiday Cheer.
Policy Considerations
According to Section 2-43 (6) of the Village Code of Ordinances, the Village Administrator shall make a
recommendation to the President and Board of Trustees on purchases over the $10,000 statutory limit. The
Board has the right to accept or reject any or all proposals.
Financial Considerations
The expenditure of $12,000 will be out of the Plainfield Police Charitable Funds Account.
Recommendation
It is our recommendation that the Village Board direct the President to authorize the purchase of Forty Gift Cards
for the Shop with a CopEvent for the total amount of $12,000.00.

VILLAGE OF
PLAINFIELD
The Village of Plainfield has had some recent interest from developers looking to place a cannabis dispensary within
the Village. At this time, cannabis is currently not permitted in Plainfield, and there are no zoning regulations in place
governing such a use. Given the recent increase in Plainfield from cannabis dispensaries staff felt it would be a
prudent time to "straw poll" the Board's interest in this type of use.
If the Board is open to a cannabis dispensary type use staff can prepare a zoning text amendment which would allow
for a dispensary as a special use. There are other considerations such as buffers, a local tax, and which zoning
districts would allow this as a special use. These types of details can be ironed out with the drafting & approval of an
ordinance. A few other notes to review when considering a potential cannabis dispensary:
Plainfield is surrounded by communities that allow recreational cannabis by special use permit and various
specified regulations: Naperville, Aurora, Joliet, Oswego, Shorewood, Romeoville, Bolingbrook, Yorkville, and
Channahon permit the sale of rec cannabis by special use.
Cannabis uses are highly regulated by the State and including security requirements, i.e., multi -lock doors for
entrance and ID checks.
Most communities that allow cannabis uses now allow for it within most intense commercial district, such as
Plainfield's B3 Highway Business District.
Buffers are often included as part of local regulations similar to gaming or liquor licensing from schools, parks,
daycares, and most communities have some sort of buffer from residential. Other regulations can include: the
maximum quantity of licenses locally & signage.
Per Illinois statute, the Village would be permitted to implement a Municipal Cannabis Retailers' Occupation Tax
that may not exceed 3% of the gross receipts from these sales.
Village staff has been informed that as of now, the Village could potentially see a minimum of $300,000 in local
sales tax. This is obviously dependent on saturation and future dispensaries in the area, for instance Bolingbrook
just approved a special use for a new dispensary in October; however, as of right now the Village is seeing a
spending leakage to Naperville and Joliet from Plainfield residents. For comparison, Naperville's 3 dispensaries
brought in approximately $1.7 million for them in 2021. The Naperville Downtown business district produced
1.7 million in sales tax and the Naperville Costco produced $2 million in that same time frame.
Policy Considerations
Any zoning text amendment would require a review and approval of the Plan Commission and Village Board.
At this time staff is simply seeking an informal yes or no as to whether the Board is open to a cannabis dispensary use
in Plainfield. Staff would welcome any other specific feedback the Board might have about this type of use.
