7. First Reading

 

8. Recognition of Mayor Tully, Commissioner Waldack and Commissioner White

Mayor Tully called upon the Village Council members for comments they wished to direct to outgoing Commissioner Bill Waldack.

Commissioner Bill Waldack

Commissioner Earl said that Bill Waldack has been the conscience of this community for as long as she has known him. He has fought for continued funding for seniors, the disabled, and Meals on Wheels, which was re-funded almost solely because of Commissioner Waldack. She said he has fought for people who can't fight for themselves, and he's done that with both hands tied behind his back as he is legally blind and has managed to get through volumes of Village reading materials over the years. She said she and Commissioner Waldack have not always agreed, but she respects his opinions and knows they will always remain friends. She can't say goodbye to him, but knows that he'll be tuning in to the Council meetings, or working with some other area in the Village to represent the citizens. She extended her heartfelt thanks to him, and said she wished him and his family the best.

Commissioner Walus explained that she has written personal notes to the Mayor and Commissioners, adding that it has been an honor serving with Bill Waldack. She's learned a lot from him and will miss sitting next to him. She appreciates all that he has taught her in this position.

Mayor-elect Barnett said that everyone should recognize, whether or not he and Commissioner Waldack have agreed, that Bill's service to the community cannot be understated. There has been no one that he knows who has taken up subjects near and dear to his heart and advanced those subjects forward as forcefully as Commissioner Waldack. On behalf of the entire community, Mayor-elect Barnett thanked Commissioner Waldack for his service.

Commissioner Hosé echoed that Commissioner Waldack's dedication to the community is second to none. He has worked incredibly hard and deserves all the credit for that. There has not always been agreement, but Commissioner Hosé thanked Commissioner Waldack for giving him a start in Village government by suggesting that Commissioner Hosé run for Council. He learned much through that first campaign, and he thanked Commissioner Waldack for all he's done for the Village and for himself personally.

Commissioner White said for background that there are many people in the Village living in difficult financial circumstances earning less than $1,000 per month. At the same time there are homes being built for $2 and $3 million, and families that spend more on a family vacation than some people have for their entire annual budget. Commissioner Waldack has never forgotten those people. He cares about them more than anyone Commissioner White has served with on this Council, or on the prior Council. Hopefully the Council will always remember that those people living on limited incomes are citizens of this community too. Commissioner White said that for those reasons he will always admire Commissioner Waldack for his service.

Mayor Tully spoke about Commissioner Waldack's habit of using props to make his point about a particular issue. Those props were used to make sure that those listening fully appreciated what he was trying to convey, and his technique always worked and signified the research and mindfulness of Commissioner Waldack's dedication. The Mayor said he hoped that after 12 years in public service that Commissioner Waldack might break away from his shy and retiring manner and use social media or a website to help him better communicate with people. The Mayor said that he and Commissioner Waldack have not always agreed, but no one could ever question his skills or commitment. He has been a champion for those who don't have a voice, or who are not being heard. Mayor Tully thanked Commissioner Waldack for causing other members of the Council to be more cognizant of different viewpoints. The Mayor also thanked Mrs. Waldack and his family for sharing him with the community. The Mayor then presented Commissioner Waldack with some items including a Village flag, a street sign of William Waldack Way for his den or office, and a plaque in honor of Commissioner Waldack's service to the community.

Commissioner Waldack thanked everyone present for the appreciation they expressed for his efforts. He said he has had the honor of sitting with many people over the years, and hopes more of the good things he's done are remembered than the negative things. He learned about 30 years ago that he was diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa, saying he was very lucky that it was a slower progression. His first thought was what do people do in DuPage County when they cannot drive. Commissioner Schnell informed him that the Village had a taxi subsidy program to assist people with disabilities. He was thrilled to live in a community that gave a damn about seniors and people with disabilities. He also supported the Village's Commuter Shuttle service with the Mayor, which continued for a while and was finally taken over by PACE. He became a member of a County commission called the IAPCC to coordinate transportation facilities for seniors and people with disabilities. It has become Ride DuPage, providing over two million rides since its inception. It was a great achievement by many people.

When he first got onto the Council Commissioner Waldack said he realized that it is not a thankless job. He's heard good things from many residents, even though occasional issues arise. But the people who serve on the Council and in other areas of government are doing the best they can. Commissioner Waldack thanked his wife, Judy, and the spouses of all Council members. He said his wife has the added challenge because she's not thrilled about driving and prefers to be in the background. They will be married 45 years in just a few months. He also thanked all the Village employees, from the top to the bottom including those who make decisions, and those who have to put those decisions to work. He noted that when you call 911 you get a response from a well-trained, well-informed individual. The Village has been fortunate to have great Police Chiefs and Fire Chiefs. The challenge for this Council and all councils is to find a way to have retired Police or Fire Chiefs take their retirement and remain in the Village. Commissioner Waldack thanked the Public Works Department that has such a wide variety of responsibilities from plowing or street repair to putting up decorations. It's led by one of the top Public Works Directors in the country, Nan Newlon, who holds the respect of many agencies and their leaders. She is an asset to our community. He also thanked the Village's Planning Department for meeting so many challenges to keep the community safe through intelligent planning. He noted that the IT Department has helped him serve by providing special programs for him to be able to better see the documents and materials he has had to review.

Commissioner Waldack expressed his thanks to the Executive Staff, stating that the new Council should have a Resolution naming April Holden "our fine Village Clerk" and make it official. Mike Baker has survived three Village Managers and is an asset to the Village. The Legal Department works hard to keep the Village out of trouble, and he appreciates their help. Dave Fieldman is a great leader. The Council addresses policy issues. Dave has to execute those policy decisions. As for the Council members, Commissioner Waldack commented that he worked together with Commissioner Hosé on Meals on Wheels. Commissioner Walus has brought life to the Council with her attitude and decision-making. She's done a splendid job in making connections in the community and he is glad that she will be there another four years. He and Commissioner Barnett have occasionally disagreed but have agreed more often than not. Commissioner White has been a good Mayor Pro Tem, highly intelligent, presenting his "White papers" on issues to present his views. Commissioner Waldack noted that he and Mayor Tully have worked together a long time and he's been a good Mayor for the community. He has known Commissioner Earl for 12 years and they've shared many conversations about Village-issues, family issues, and friendship issues. He appreciates her friendship.

Commissioner Waldack then opened a bag of props to address the new Council. He brought out an apple core that represents core services after cuts are made. It's easy to make cuts. He challenged the new Council not to give into making cuts to the whole apple. He thanked all the residents for honoring him. It has been his honor and privilege to serve.

Commissioner Bill White

Commissioner Walus said that Commissioner White was the first person she truly connected with when she arrived here. He welcomed her and her family into his home and she has learned so much from him. She's honored to have served with him.

Commissioner Waldack said he appreciates Commissioner White's service, his intelligence and his approach to the issues. He hopes that will continue.

Commissioner Hosé said that it doesn't take long in serving with Commissioner White to learn that his greatest strength is his absolutely boundless creativity. When they are faced with a challenge, Commissioner White has idea after idea after idea on how it can be fixed. Whether it comes as a phone call, text message or three-page memorandum he will advocate for those ideas. Commissioner Hosé thanked him for his fountain of ideas, passion and service to Downers Grove.

Mayor-elect Barnett thanked Commissioner White saying that service is a person's highest calling. His time on the Council has been just a small part of his service to the community, whether as a Commissioner, with District 99, coaching baseball, FROG or other services, Commissioner White has devoted many years of service to Downers Grove. No one pays attention to detail more than Bill does and it's because he truly cares.

Commissioner Earl said she and Bill go way back, having worked together on the Zoning Board of Appeals for many years. She considers Bill to be the ultimate collaborator, looking for the middle ground to make everyone happy. She appreciates his enthusiasm, intelligence, friendship and his example. She will miss him dearly.

Mayor Tully said that Commissioner White and he go back a long, long ways and have engaged in discussions about issues involving Downers Grove long before Facebook and Twitter even existed. The Mayor said he always knew he was dealing at a minimum with a peer if not more, because the conversations were always right on point, they were relevant and they were backed up with facts, and not accusations or supposition. He has always enjoyed those conversations and the mental challenges. The consequence is that Commissioner White pushes people to be better at governing, better at decision-making, even if they ultimately disagree with him. He causes people to stop and think and revisit their own positions to make sure they are duly supported, and that is very valuable in any organization. The Mayor said that he also has always admired Bill White because as someone who has a reputation for having an opinion on just about every issue that's related to policy, unafraid to speak his mind, he is not one to stand in the background and lob hand grenades and rocks and arrows. He has always stepped up and put his money where his mouth is. He's put his time and his effort in following through on the things he actually thinks, believes and talks about, from his long term as Chair of the Zoning Board of Appeals, his service on the District 99 Board, and President of that organization and on the

Village Council. It's easy to criticize and demand more, but it's a lot tougher to actually do something. Commissioner White has never shied away from that. The Mayor said that Commissioner White is a storyteller, he loves telling stories sometimes more than once, and it is rumored that Commissioner White was giving odds on a successful on-line site as to how long the Mayor's reports would last. Mayor Tully said that Commissioner White is absolutely a policy wonk, identifying issues, challenged others to share them and think differently, and view an issue or a problem in a different way. Mayor Tully said he appreciated not only serving with Commissioner White, but also having him serve as Mayor Pro Tem. The Mayor served as Mayor Pro Tem under two different mayors and knows what is involved in that job. It is a varied job that means communicating and connecting with all the Council members, identifying the issues, and assuring that the Mayor is informed when something important is about to happen. Commissioner White has a talent for that position, for dialogue and building consensus among people with disparate views, and moving forward channeling to solve a problem for the good of the Village. He has always been ready to be the face of the Village when Mayor Tully was not available. Mayor Tully expressed his thanks to Commissioner White's wife, Karen and their family for the sacrifices they made sharing him with the Village. The Mayor presented Commissioner White with his street sign for Bill White Court, the Village flag, and a plaque for service to the Village.

Commissioner White relayed a story about Newt Gingrich, that he was known for having an enormous number of ideas. In fact, you needed a giant warehouse to store all the cabinets to contain all of Newt Gingrich's ideas. And in that warehouse was a very small room with a tiny file cabinet to store all his good ideas. Commissioner White said hopefully he had a higher ratio of good ideas to ideas in general. Commissioner White noted that six years ago he decided not to run again for the District 99 Board of Education, and two years later he was on the Council. He doesn't know what the future will be. Commissioner White said he especially wanted to thank the Village staff, and relayed an incident a few years ago when an angry constituent e-mailed him because the Village wasn't doing the types of things he wanted them to do. Commissioner White explained all that was being done, and the constituent replied the Council wasn't doing that, the Village staff was doing it, and the Village practically runs itself. Commissioner White's reply was "that's the point" of a Council/Manager form of government. The Council sets high-level directions and the staff sees them accomplished. Commissioner White stated that Downers Grove has an outstanding staff, at all levels and everybody on staff deserves to be mentioned. There are three senior leaders who have created a phenomenal organization. That makes the Council's job easy. Staff doesn't rubber stamp what is done. They proceed to do the job right. He appreciates every member of Council as well. Commissioner Walus brings a passion and commitment to caring about the community that is very impressive. Bill Waldack cares about people that most residents don't know exist. Because of Bill Waldack those people get the proper attention. Bob Barnett and he haven't always seen eye-to-eye, but were on numerous unanimous decisions on issues. He and Marge Earl served a long time together on the Zoning Board of Appeals. He extended his thanks to every member of the Council.

Mayor Martin Tully

Mayor-elect Bob Barnett said that commenting on the Mayor's leadership would be challenging to fit all the comments on one tape. The Mayor's service has been exemplary in every fashion, and the Village is better for it. He asked Commissioner Earl for her comments.

Commissioner Earl said she has watched Mayor Tully since his Council days, and the issue that brought her to the Council Chambers was one in which she and the Mayor did not see eye-to-eye, yet she appreciated and respected his views and how he always laid out the argument as Mayor Pro Tem at that time, and when he left there was nobody she missed more than him on the Council. She remarked on how he always tried to explain the issues in plain English so everyone actually understood what the issue was. She was hopeful that he would run for Mayor at that time. As leader of this community, the shoes that he is leaving to fill are immense, and Mayor-elect Barnett has a hard row to hoe ahead of him. Mayor Tully has been everywhere and time and time again has tossed himself on grenades for this community, picked himself up, dusted himself off and moved forward representing the Village with dignity and honor. He has led the Council and Village to places they didn't know they needed to be. She thanked him for the example he has set, and for championing everyone's rights.

Commissioner Walus said she often writes the Mayor notes on his own notepad. She remembers when she was first appointed and Mayor Tully called her to meet with him. She was terrified. She was not a political person and didn't know what to expect. Since then she has truly come to know the Mayor and he is extremely generous, intelligent, welcoming to her and has been a wonderful mentor. She can't imagine what it will be like to follow him and his charisma. He will obviously continue to be engaged and will do well in anything he does because he is truly a fantastic person.

Commissioner Waldack said that Commissioner White brought up something that made him realize that none of his comments tonight will be going out on Cable TV because Commissioner Waldack forgot to thank Doug Kozlowski! When issues have to be distributed to the people they call it "being Dougitized" as Doug and his staff do a tremendous job in getting word out to the community. As does Mayor Tully. Commissioner Waldack said the Mayor's job only gives him one vote, and the Mayor cannot make motions or second a motion, so it's one vote with one hand tied behind your back. Another thing that makes him a hard act to follow is his availability and how he conducts himself. He's ubiquitous, he's all over and willing to step up and take the tough questions people ask. He'll stand up and provide well thought out responses. It's a tough act for anyone to follow, and he wished Mayor Tully and his wife the very best in the future. The Village will miss him as a Mayor.

Commissioner Hosé said that no one could put it better than Michael Cassa did at last week's EDC meeting when he said something to the effect that if Hollywood were casting a mayor it would be Martin Tully. He hit it on the head. There's a presence, whether it's the sense of humor, music references, being on the dais, lyrics on the white board, sports radio announcer voice, TV and movie references-there's always something there that will make you laugh. It's his consummate professionalism. There's no one better prepared, no one better reasoned and nobody better spoken. Commissioner Hosé expressed to Mayor Tully that we are better off as a Village for his leadership, better off as a Council for his leadership, and he is a better Commissioner now than when he joined the Council because of the Mayor's example. He thanked the Mayor for his service.

Commissioner White echoed Commissioner Hosé's word of "professionalism." As long as he's known the Mayor he has been the consummate professional and that is why he believes he's been such an outstanding Mayor. He thinks that the Mayor truly understands what the role of the Mayor really is, and he understood the need to subordinate his own personal opinion when he thought the Council wasn't going in the same direction. The success of the organization, of this Council and of this Village was more important to the Mayor than getting his way on various issues. Commissioner White said he's always respected the Mayor's professionalism and his ability to set aside his personal wants to move forward for the best interests of the community. He added, referencing Michael Cassa's comments of last week, that there is no one in the Village who has a better Mayoral presence than Mayor Tully. He presents himself as the Mayor, and has been an outstanding representative of the Village of Downers Grove to the numerous organizations to which he belongs. And no one will ever light their Christmas Tree with more enthusiasm, or take such great pleasure of drawing the first beer at Ballydoyle on St. Patrick's Day. Commissioner White then referenced the autobiography of Pete Buttigieg, Mayor of South Bend and Presidential candidate. He w
