MEMORANDUM
To: Mayor Argoudelis and Trustees
From: Joshua Blakemore, Village Administrator
Date: November 27, 2023
Re: A Resolution Authorizing the Acceptance of a Donation of Property (Lots 1, 2, and 3 in O.J. Corbin’s
Subdivision, 15307 S. Route 59, Plainfield – GC Real Estate LLC)
Background Findings
The owner of the property located at the SE corner of Routes 59 & 30 had inquired about putting a Popeye’s Chicken
at that location (see attached survey, the building shown on the survey has since been torn down). Staff had
significant concerns about traffic, and ingress/egress to that location, especially with a Popeye’s Chicken. The
owner, who has held that property back since it being a gas station, stated that after some thought, he would like
to donate the land to the Village.
A couple of notes on this parcel, as previously mentioned, there is a Leaky Underground Storage Tank (LUST) Report
on this property that indicated that there was contamination remediation to be done at this property. It is believed
the leak was in the right of way dedication area shown on the attached survey. When this was a gas station, it
believed the tanks were located within the ROW, which was taken by IDOT when the new Route 30 turn lane was
put in place. There is no record indicating that remediation was ever completed, but the owner believes it to have
been IDOT’s responsibility given that it was in the ROW area taken by the State.
Given the access challenges (and lack of remediation documentation) staff feels this property is unlikely to develop.
With that, should the Village take ownership of this parcel, it could be great spot for streetscaping, signage, and/or
public art. Staff would not anticipate much more than putting in a concrete pad at some point, so as to not disturb
the soil. The current owner would use this donation as a tax write-off and is not seeking any compensation from
the Village. As noted by Attorney Vogel, there is currently $3,061.05 in taxes owed on the parcel that are required
to be paid prior to acceptance of the donation by the Village. Staff has been informed this will be rectified prior to
Monday’s meeting.
Financial Considerations
The owner is donating the land to the Village. Future cost considerations would include potential landscaping,
streetscaping, and potential signage on the property.
Recommendation
If the Board is accepting of this proposal to convey the property in question to the Village, then a motion to approve
the attached resolution would be in order.

the Audit, Tort Immunity, and Police Pension Funds and the Police Pension actuarial report. Mrs.

Trustee Larson inquired about the Police Pensions, Pavement Condition Index and Municipal
Building Study. There was some general discussion regarding Police Pensions Tier 1 vs Tier 2.
Trustee Larson indicated support for increasing the police pension funding. Trustee Wojowski stated
that the Village should contribute as much as possible to the police pensions while still lowering the
tax levy rate.
2)2024 FIREWORK FUNDING
Administrator Blakemore stated that after the 2023 fireworks, there were some questions about
potentially coordinating a show with Romeoville. The Park District has reviewed that option with
Romeoville and is presenting the following options for 2024:
1) A $20,000 show, split evenly between the Park District and Village. The show would be
slightly decreased from last year' s show due to the increasing costs of fireworks.
2) A $22,000 show, split evenly between the Park District and Village. This would be the same
show as last year and accounts for a price increase.
3) A coordinated show with six (6) locations with the Village of Romeoville and the Plainfield
Park District. The cost of this is $ 47,250 each, from the Park District, Village, and
Romeoville. Additional details such as the three locations in Plainfield would still need to be
determined.
It was the general consensus to go with option 2 - a $22,000 show, split evenly between the Park
District and Village. This would be the same show as last year and accounts for a price increase.
3) WALLIN WOODS LOT 4 PROPERTY ACQUISITION
Administrator Blakemore stated that over the last several months the Village has been reviewing a
potential mixed-use development at the SE corner of Village Center and Van Dyke. The proposed
development was for an 84-unit apartment complex, with approximately 9,000 square feet of
commercial space on the ground level. Mixed use is permitted in the B-5 zoning district, however the
developer requested variances as part of the application. The variances and site plan were considered
at the October 2nd Board meeting, with the motion failing on a 3-4 vote. During the October 2nd
meeting, questions and comments were raised about the Village purchasing the property. Since that
time, the current owner has met with the Village and have represented they are willing to sell the
property to the Village for a sum of $2,000,000. Administrator Blakemore highlighted the proposed
purchase and the conditions of the sale to the Village. Administrator Blakemore noted that should the
Village take ownership of this parcel, staff would recommend adding a covenant to this parcel so that
it cannot be developed in the future, and to combine parcels with the existing Settlers' Park.
Trustee Kalkanis stated that she supports the purchase of the property. Trustee Wojowski stated that
he does not support the purchase of the property. Trustee Ruane stated that he does not support the
purchase of the property. Trustee Kiefer stated that he supports the purchase of the property. Trustee
Larson stated that that she does not support the purchase of the property. Trustee Bonuchi stated that
she will be requesting a motion to table or will recuse herself if there is no motion to table.

MEMORANDUM
To: Mayor Argoudelis and the Board of Trustees
From: Traci Pleckham – Assistant Village Administrator/Management Services Director
CC: Joshua Blakemore – Village Administrator
Date: November 9, 2023
Subject: Year 2023 Tax Levy
The preliminary 2023 tax levy estimate approved at the November 6th Board Meeting represents
a maximum total dollar request of $9,431,500 (a 15% revenue increase), however the actual
dollar amount the Village will receive is anticipated to be less. As the official equalized assessed
value (EAV) will not be available until spring of 2024, this higher preliminary estimate was
approved to ensure that the Village’s entire EAV amount is captured. (October 2023 EAV
estimates provided by Will and Kendall Counties reflected a 13.66% increase.)
Staff has included tax levy history and calculation scenarios to help guide the 2023 Tax Levy
Workshop discussion. To summarize, the first scenario represents the Village’s approved
preliminary estimate (a 15% EAV increase from 2022 while maintaining the 2022 Village tax levy
rate of 0.4669). The second scenario represents an estimated 13.66% EAV increase, while
maintaining the 2022 tax levy rate of .4669. Finally, the third scenario represents an estimated
13.66% increase in EAV along with a 5% reduction in the 2022 tax levy rate. Residential property
tax examples are also included for your review.
In addition, enclosed are the proposed fiscal year 2025 budgets for the Audit, Tort Immunity,
and Police Pension Funds, as well as the Police Pension actuarial report. As noted in the
attached documents, the Police Pension Fund will require an increased levy contribution for the
2025 fiscal year.
As a reminder, the information provided is specific only to the Village of Plainfield’s portion of
the property tax bills. The Village of Plainfield’s portion of the 2022 tax levy was 5.75%. Or, for
every dollar paid in property taxes by Village residents, 5.75 cents is paid to the Village of
Plainfield.
Staff will present additional information at the workshop and is seeking Board discussion and
direction to finalize the tax levy process.
