10. Council Bill/Special Ordinance 4043-2017
A Special Ordinance declaring the City-owned property at 1151 26th Street Moline surplus and authorizing the Mayor and City Clerk to execute an Agreement for Sale of Real Estate and do all things necessary to convey the property to Moline Community Development Corporation, an Illinois Not-For-Profit Corporation.
Explanation: As a result of City Council goal setting, the Moline Community Development Corporation (MCDC) was created in 2008. Part of MCDC’s mission is to provide quality housing for low to moderate income families and to foster neighborhood improvement. The City recently took possession of an abandoned, single-family home at 1151 26th Street after it was donated by then owner Wells Fargo Bank N.A. Wells Fargo, when donating the property, also gave the City $7,500.00 to be used towards the demolition or rehabilitation of the property. To provide momentum to MCDC’s efforts, MCDC is interested in rehabilitating the single-family home on the lot and selling it to a qualified family. MCDC has offered to purchase the property for $1.00. Under the terms of the proposed Agreement, the $7,500.00 donated to the City by Wells Fargo would be given to the MCDC to use in the rehabilitation. The rehabilitation and sale of the single-family home at this location will restore the blighted property and increase the property tax base in the future. Additional documentation attached.
Fiscal Impact: Lower property maintenance expenses and increase the property tax base in the future.

First Reading Ordinances
11. Council Bill/General Ordinance 3026-2017
An Ordinance amending Chapter 4, “Alcoholic Beverages,” of the Moline Code of Ordinances, Section 4-1100, “Definitions,” by repealing subsection (11), “Minor,” in its entirety and enacting in lieu thereof one new subsection (11) dealing with the same subject matter; Section 4-5101, “Preparation Of Alcoholic Liquor,” by repealing said section in its entirety and enacting in lieu thereof one new Section 4-5101 dealing with the same subject matter; Section 4-5104, “Consumption,” by repealing subsection (b) in its entirety and enacting in lieu thereof one new subsection (b) dealing with the same subject matter; and Section 4-5110, “Responsibility Of Owner Or Occupant Of Premises,” by repealing said section in its entirety and enacting in lieu thereof one new Section 4-5110 dealing with the same subject matter.
Explanation: Pursuant to a request by local businesses, the Local Liquor Control Commissioner and City staff recently reviewed the City’s limitation on minors working at liquor licensed establishments. Due to the low unemployment rate, it is difficult for liquor licensed establishments to find employees. Many local residents over 18 years of age, but under 21 years of age, work in liquor licensed establishments in Iowa, where it is permissible, instead of in Moline, which is more restrictive than Illinois law provides, and allows only persons 21 years of age and older to tend bar or pour, draw, mix, sell or serve alcoholic beverages. Given this, it would be in the City’s best interest to allow persons 18 years of age and older to work in liquor licensed establishments in the City. Consideration Requested.

12. Council Bill/General Ordinance 3027-2017

Explanation: The Plan Commission held a public hearing on September 13, 2017, to hear a request from Mike VanAcker to rezone property located at 1536 24th Avenue from R-2 One-Family Residence District to NC Neighborhood Center District in order to maintain the property as a parking lot and to have the ability to add a storage garage. The Plan Commission, after public hearing, made a motion to make a recommendation to the City Council to amend the zoning for 1536 24th Avenue. Additional documentation attached.

13. Council Bill/Special Ordinance 4044-2017
A Special Ordinance granting a variance to Chapter 34, “Water And Sewers,” Section 34-3403, “Environmental Remediation Wastewaters,” of the Moline Code of Ordinances, to negotiate an Environmental Remediation Wastewaters (ERW) discharge fee, and authorizing the Director of Public Works to negotiate an Environmental Remediation Wastewaters (ERW) discharge fee with the Illinois Department of Transportation for the construction of the I-74 Bridge.
Explanation: The I-74 Bridge construction requires dewatering and removal of groundwater, and the groundwater in question has been classified as Environmental Remediation Wastewater (ERW), which requires treatment. The City has a Publicly Owned Treatment Works and wastewater collection system capable of receiving the ERW, and Section 34-3403 of the Moline Code of Ordinances defines the requirements and fees associated with the discharge of ERW to the City’s Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTW). The volume of ERW expected to be discharged from the bridge construction is significant, and in the spirit of intergovernmental cooperation as permitted by state law, staff would like to negotiate a fee for the discharge instead of strictly adhering to the normal fee schedule for such discharge given the amount and given the importance of the project from which the discharge is resulting. Additional documentation attached. The fee defined within Section 34-3403 was intended for smaller volumes of ERW.
Fiscal impact: Increased Revenue to Water Pollution Control Fund
