Video of Mayor Harl and the Committee Change
Listen closely to two comments and what he forgot to mention. He forgot to mention that he added himself to the committees and with the excuse that now two committee members could meet and talk without violating the OMA.
This is the section of the Municipal Code he refers to:
In the 2014 Illinois Municipal Handbook in Chapter 7, Article II Section D (1) states: (found on page 203)
Special Rules for Five Member Boards- Prior to 2008, Section 2.01 of the OMA defined meeting to include a majority of a quorum of a five-member board (2 people), instead of a quorum (3 people). This limitation had long frustrated municipal officials who were unable to discuss even the simplest items related to public business without technically conducting a meeting under the OMA. Now, two municipal officials in a five member board may meet to discuss public business without it being considered a meeting under the OMA. Although this law has liberated municipal officials from the majority of a quorum requirement for five-member bodies, it contains an additional limitation. The amendment to the OMA also requires an affirmative vote of at least three members of a five-member body, such as a municipal body in the commission form, to adopt any motion, resolution or ordinance, unless a greater number is otherwise required, regardless of whether all members are in attendance. This rule also applies to committees and all other public bodies with five members.
Committee meetings were designed for the aldermen to work on specific areas of governing and not for the mayor to attach himself to them for self interest control of what transpires. He also states that he had numerous aldermen ask for the more members and if you believe that pie in the sky comment, you have not lived in this city. POWER TENDS TO CORRUPT is my thought and taking place right now in Peru.

Yes There Was a City Council Meeting This Evening and ..........
I impulsively decided to attend the council meeting this evening and there was a large number of people in attendance and of course all the medical marijuana startups trying to establish themselves in the city. I do question why so many want to be in Peru or is it that Peru seems to be making all of this public and other District 17 cities are remaining quiet. Keep in mind one per district and the question to ask is "what is the benefit to the city?" We seem to be spending an inordinate amount of city time with these ventures whereas according to the Ottawa Times, their city is handling it in a different manner and have been assured by unnamed companies that they would like to operate in their city.
From what I have read there is actually not much of an economic benefit to any city chosen, so who really needs them? And other cities are not even seeking them out.
One aldermen had questions about why the mayor changed the committee structure on such short notice and what was the benefit to the aldermen individually. The 2 aldermen shoved into the Public Service committee are going to have a long and lonely time on that committee which is dominated by Lukosus and Waldorf and Chamlin Engineering. The answer from the mayor about the change is in short nothing more than the law now allows him as a committee member on both committees to be meeting with one other individual on the committee without violating the OMA and you can bet that is what has been happening and will continue.
The second question is about the private and behind the scenes manner in which the mayor handled the offer that was make for the Coke distribution plant on Progress Blvd. Harl insisted it had been discussed in meetings and that the alderman should check the minutes and he said he had gone though all minutes and could not find any reference to this proposal. The mayor then mentioned something about private meetings and then Ald. Radtke said he vaguely remembered something about it. I hope you are getting the picture now about the way that Peru is conducting business for you. I am getting ticked off about how the mayor and some aldermen believe running this city is their own privately owned venture.
Does that sound familiar, a phrase you have heard before in Peru politics. If Peru mayors are unable to keep everything open and above board for the benefit of the taxpayers of this city, it is definitely time for the city council to seek an official CEO, a City Manager. We would not be paying NCIG to write grants because often city managers do that. We would not need a comptroller or budget director because the city manager usually does that. Tonight I can only think of the phrase I have see so often lately:
POWER TENDS TO CORRUPT AND ABSOLUTE POWER CORRUPTS ABSOLUTELY
Is this what we have now in Peru, a mayor attempting to control the decision making committees by installing himself as a voting member of the 2 remaining committees along with the aldermen in place that he has already favorited.

HIghlights of the Finance Committee Mtg.
There were 2 men present from IVAC who gave a presentation to the Finance Committee. I apologize for not knowing their names.
They talked of the reasons why this area seemed to be lagging behind other areas of the state in growth and after much research it seems to them that the best way to market the towns of this area is to think regionally and not locally. Looking at this part of Illinois in terms of LaSalle, Bureau and Putnam, a tri county region seems to them to be a better way to market the cities because a development in anyone of them will ultimately benefit all because most anyone can travel for employment. Whereas the retail development is best left individually to each town as they wish.
IVAC have begun to use social media on the Linked In site.
A brief discussion on employee health policies.
Again as I wrote earlier, some discussion about a CFO or a Comptroller or a #City Manager.
Transformer repair at the James Hardie plant needs to be done soon. I believe a spare is currently available in the city.
Re: Concert at the Airport:
Police Chief Bernabei said they are ready with with police, fire and esda. Also expecting approximately 10,000 to attend the concert and they are ready to cap sales if need be. Noonan by contract is responsible for paying up to $4100 in cost of the safety provided and if for some reason it is over that amount the city is responsible for the rest. She will provide her own security for the area around the stages.
The city will receive $1.00 for each ticket sold and $5.00 for each car that is parked at the airport.
The city did approve both concerts before the hard rock one was booked and they only had knowledge of the first one which was a Country/Western group of bands held a few weeks ago. It seems that they had faith that Ms Noonan would not be doing what she did by booking the kind of bands she has.
I did express my sentiments that this not happen again and to be aware and make sure you know what you are approving for any future events.

OFF BEAT: Did Streator hit the jackpot with new hire? - The Times: Local
OFF BEAT: Did Streator hit the jackpot with new hire? - The Times: Local
This is a good article about the hiring of a City Manager in Streator. Many of you and I also would like to see Peru hire a City Manager, someone to be the CEO of this city. The discusssion briefly came up today during the Finance Committee today when talk of hiring a CFO was suggested by Ald. Potthoff as Budget Director Gary Hylla will relinquish that position and retain the Treasurers position at the end of the year. Mayor Harl wants only a Comptroller but the legalities of that are uncertain to me as to whether it is a elected position or not. It was suggested by Ald. Perez that this could be the time to look into a hire of a City Manager and Ald. Potthoff said he is open to that idea.
Get a few ideas of your own after reading this about whether this is the right time to get on board with a City Manager. He would do the hiring and firing of employees along with making the whole city work right with the right people.
Streator Manager salary and benefits
Talk of paying a CFO approx. $60,000 and for double that you get a manager who takes on many responsibilities that no one is doing now in Peru and additionally add some professionalism to our government.

Public Services Initial Meeting
Attended by Ald. Waldorf chairman, Ald. Lukosus, City Clerk Bartley, TEST Chris Perra, Jeff King and Doug Bernabei and not sure what we call them at a Public Services meeting, Mayor Harl, Ald. Sapienza, Ald. Mueller, Jeff Perry from Chamlin, Eric Carls, city engineer and 2 others that I believe were other Chamlin Engineers. They did not pass an attendance sheet around.
A lot of the meeting was conducted by the engineers covering topics as roads, sewers, airport (nothing about the past or coming concert). Bucket truck is being prepared for light department, need a very expensive tool for valves on old water mains. We are going to work with La Salle this year and purchase salt together per Jeff Kings information.
Mayor Harl is interested in purchasing the old Coke plant for PW department.
I asked the mayor if he would be appointing one of the aldermen from some committee to attend Recreation Board meetings and he said no, it was not necessary. I pointed out that in the past either from a long ago Recreation Committee to the just eliminated Public Property Committee, an aldermen or 2 attended the Rec. Board and he simply said not needed, they could read the minutes. Also did not know that the Rec. Board submits a budget to the city as he wanted to know what they spent their money on. Ald. Mueller and Sapienza stated they would alternate and attend the Rec. Meetings.
This was a 2 hour plus min. meeting. There is so much to cover that I think this will become the norm. If they continue to have the Committee as Whole meetings prior to council meetings, I can't even imagine what they will discuss because most aldermen will already know whats been taking place. I still can't believe they are going to try and run this city on 2 committees

Is This What is Meant by Abuse of Executive Power?
Committee Structure in Peru today:
Accounts and Finance:Potthoff and Radke
Public Works(electric, water, street & sewer): Waldorf & Lukosus
Public Property and Recreation, buildings and grounds : Perez & Mueller
Public Health and Safety:(police, fire, esda and ambulance) Ferrari & Sapienza
Next week, the last 2 committees will be eliminated and the aldermen taken into the remaining committees.
Here is a little history of Peru and the aldermanic committees. Prior to the tenure of Mayor Harl, there were as a rule 3 aldermen per committee. After Harl had been in office for 2 years, he decided to reduce the size of all committees to 2 which did not make sense because then if the 2 aldermen did not agree, the mayor said to send to the city council for a vote. Now if all goes as planned he will make 2 committees (the first 2 listed) and put 4 aldermen on each plus the Mayor who will also be on each committee.
What happens to the problems that were being worked upon by the 2 disappearing committees will be anyones guess. At first glance, it appears to be a matter of control by the mayor.
We are not as a city working well at all and this certainly is not going to improve what takes place.
For new readers, I will add that currently the Chief of Police is also co superintendent of Public Works and Jeff King, our Fire Chief is the other co superintendent of the department along with being building and zoning inspector and head of the fire department. They are also head of ESDA. The electric department is also without a department head and is supervised by both chiefs.
Of course we can always depend upon Chamlin engineering and TEST to be skilled in what they do.
In all my research, I have not been able to come up with a city that operates with 2 committees. The mayor is also a part of the Design and Review Committee, so he is definitely wearing the biggest hat. We the residents are not particularly thinking any of this is very good for the city as a whole. The city is composed of many areas of concern that will be neglected more than it is at present because there will be no oversight. Giving the aldermen responsibility within the government of the city is why we elect them and now that responsibility will be lessened Perhaps the people who opposed the reduction of aldermen might want to rethink their view.

Sounds like this promoter is handling this in a very professional manner and something the residents of this city would appreciate regarding concerts at the airport.
Any event open to the public and particularly a #rock concert should have publicly announced rules and regulations. It is my understanding that at this time Peru does not ask any questions about type of concert, #rock bands and has no idea who the promoter is bringing in and asks no questions. The city and particularly the elected officials are counting on you not caring what happens in Peru.

Is Marijuana Going to Become The Golden Goose for the State of Illinois?
For so many years we have heard that marijuana is the #gateway drug to hard drugs and it is still illegal in the state of Illinois to use marijuana for recreational use. So the question is now "Will Peru become a part of the experiment of using medical marijuana?"
Two presentations have been presented to the Peru City Council and one to the Princeton Economic Development Committee about building a #medical marijuana plant within their city. This is certainly not about jobs because it will only be about 25 to 30 and we do not know the level of skills that will be sought by either of the newly formed companies. What about the electric and water usage, can we supply it?
The city of Delavan has already annexed property to allow for the development of a MM facility.

Do you believe that this will be a wise choice for the Illinois Valley?

Grand Illinois Trail
www.dnr.illinois.gov/.../greenwaysandtrails/.../gitusersguide.pdf
For those unfamiliar with the past history of the previously proposed bike path through Peru, this is a snippet of the trail as it was designed to go through Peru. Those working on it never came up with the manner it would progress through Bureau County that I am aware of. The part through Peru would have gone along Water Street and then up to Route 6. Chamlin did draw up a $3000 map which is probably now just history of an idea..
It was to be part of the #Grand Illinois Trail.

Yes I Do Read the Blog by Kristy
Since the people of #Peru have little going on in this city except for the usual #Concerts for a Cause at the airport which interests only a certain segment of our city, you are probably taking a vacation or traveling to one of our neighboring cities for entertainment. If you are interested in the concerts, look elsewhere because I will not promote something that is so specialized in their nature that probably at least 85% of the people living here have no interest in them and many find them offensive.
What is disturbing about this is the letter posted by Kristy in which Ald. Dave Waldorf calls her attempts to get the truth a #"Witch Hunt". The public has a right to search and find any governmental information that takes place and for this information we all can foia this info and expect to receive it in a respectful manner. But Ald. Waldorf has never been respectful of anyone who questions him about his decisions or any decisions that reflect back upon his voting record. As far as I know he has never stood up for his ideas but simply followed the leader on the council but that simply tells me and many others he has no ideas and does not really research and look for the truth and apply that information to his votes.
Kristy you are not the first one to be attacked verbally by this alderman as I have for simply giving my opinion and a suggestion. Next April is election time once again and if you want to make a difference in the third ward and the current aldermen are offensive to you, you will have an opportunity to replace one of them. whoisadamil16.blogspot.com

Hazards of Being a Bicyclist on North Peoria or Rte 251
This afternoon there was a bad accident on North Peoria St between a bicyclist and an auto. As expected the injury was to the person riding the bike and details are not available as to how it happened.
This road and 251 have been an accident waiting to happen for anyone riding a bicycle or walking. Others may remember this but I believe going back to the D. Baker administration there was talk of establishing some type of #bicycle/walking path toward the Mall and do not remember any details. I hope the city reopens the possibility of establishing a path with signs telling how to reach and travel on it. We spent several thousand dollars for Chamlin to draw up a map for a #bike path within the city but don't believe a direct route toward the Mall area was ever mapped out.

Illinois regulating Medical Marijuana out of existence
Illinois regulating Medical Marijuana out of existence
I have learned that the proposed marijuana growing facility in Peru would not be 2500 feet from an apt. complex and local motels. In view of the fact that we have and continue to demolish old buildings in the area, it would not seem wise to continue the process but the council voted 7-1 to forward to zoning.
The posted article from the Illinois Herald shows that most of the Chicago suburbs are not allowing and maybe this is why Peru looks so desirable to this corporation.
What would happen if even in spite of all the precautions smoke alarms began going off, would our police have access to the premises? our firemen?
