little over $200 more than the vehicle purchase last year.

Page 4
Mayor Mingus stated if there was anyone in the audience who wanted to speak on any items not on the agenda to
come to the podium state the matter or matters to be discussed. There was no response.
Mayor Mingus then asked for comments from Council.
Commissioner Densberger discussed meetings of the Committee looking at the quality of life in East Peoria. He
discussed the need for incentives for improvements to residential properties, much like enterprise zone benefits to
commercial properties of property tax abatement and rebate of sales tax if materials were purchased in the City.
This would go to address quality of neighborhoods, improving schools, among many other improvements. Mayor
Mingus explained that he would like to see a working session on this idea in the future.
Commissioner Jeffers discussed some Greenfield expansion by Mueller Road. He discussed costs of living in
different areas to neighborhoods for services, including garbage pick-up services. He would like a working session
to see where we are at as a community in comparison to other communities. He mentioned the Mayor’s Prayer
Breakfast coming up next month.
Commissioner Joos explained that buyers of homes do not often take into account the costs of services offered to
residents. He explained that he likes Commissioner Densberger’s idea, and he is afraid that there will not be as
much success because of these being smaller projects. He has heard so many people start talking about the focus on
residential. He discussed the commercial improvements over the past 20 years and explained that if we spend the
next several years on residential that those benefits will be there and it is a very worthy cause.
Mayor Mingus wished everyone a Happy Easter.
Motion by Commissioner Decker, seconded by Commissioner Densberger; Mr. Mayor, I move you that we adjourn
until Tuesday evening, April 7, 2015 at 6:00 P.M.
Yeas: Commissioners Decker, Densberger, Jeffers, Joos and Mayor Mingus.

Caterpillar Heritage Walk that could include statues and other equipment that would mark where old

Commissioner Joos asked about sidewalks and if there are grants that may be available for sidewalks. Director
Livingston explained that there are a couple opportunities out there but there are fewer than grants for
sidewalks than other items such as trails. He explained that new roads do require sidewalks to be completed

budget is estimated to be down a little more than last year.

MEMORANDUM
April 2, 2015
TO:
Mayor David W. Mingus and Members of the City Council
THRU: Tom Brimberry, City Administrator
FROM: City Attorney’s Office (Dennis R. Triggs and Michael J. Tibbs)
SUBJECT: Video Gaming/Hucks Food and Fuel
DISCUSSION: The owners of the Hucks Food and Fuel located at 101 Farmdale Road
applied for a video gaming license based upon an assertion that the facility was a truck
stop as defined the Video Gaming Act. The City submitted evidence to the Gaming Board
demonstrating that the Hucks facility does not qualify as a truck stop under the Video
Gaming Act. Despite the submission of that evidence, the Gaming Board approved the
application. For the reasons outlined in its preambles, the resolution authorizes legal
action to challenge the issuance of a video gaming license for the Hucks facility.
RECOMMENDATION: Approval
RESOLUTION NO. 1415-119
East Peoria, Illinois
April 7

WHEREAS, the Applicant has submitted an application (the “Application”) under
authority of the Video Gaming Act found at 230 ILCS 40/1 et seq. to locate video gaming

Has separate diesel islands for fueling commercial motor vehicles; and
Sells at retail more than 10,000 gallons of diesel or biodiesel fuel per month;
and
Has parking spaces for commercial motor vehicles; and
WHEREAS, the Hucks Facility fails to qualify to become a licensed truck stop
establishment for at least the following reasons:
1.
2.
3.
4.
The Hucks Facility has an area of less than three acres; and
The Hucks Facility does not have separate diesel islands for fueling
