A message from our Mayor

“Be the change you want to see in the world.”
~ Mahatma Gandhi quotes
This summer will mark a change for the City of Darien. Two of
our most dedicated City servants will be leaving their official posts
with us, although we hope they will continue to be available for support and to use the
vast knowledge they have accumulated throughout the years. Change is a constant for
organizations in the 21st century, and while we have developed other individuals to help fill
their roles to ensure the City will still run smoothly, we will miss them dearly.
Bob Pavelchik, our Police Chief since 2002, has decided to retire. He began his career
as a police officer in 1978 and was promoted to Sergeant in 1993. He also served as a
field training officer, DARE instructor and detective. The minutes from his appointment as
Chief of Police read, “Mayor Soldato also expressed his belief that Robert Pavelchik would
bring integrity and new life into the Police Department.” Mayor Soldato’s words from this
meeting proved to be prophetic, as Chief Pavelchik has done an exceptional job over the
past nine years serving residents and employees through both good and difficult economic
times, always looking out for the best interests of the community. In my time as Mayor his
expertise proved invaluable, and he will be greatly missed.
Joanne Coleman, our Clerk since 1991, decided not to run for re-election. Clerk Coleman
was in charge of elections, our meeting schedules, official documents of the City of Darien,
and much more. She was a leader in moving the office into the 21st century, making
documents available to the public both in hard copy and electronically on the website. The
last twenty years have been exceptional in terms of giving residents easy access to their
local governments, allowing them to provide input and follow the actions of their elected
boards. Her leadership has guided us to be the open and honest government we are proud
of being.
The last few months have been busy, with the City Council passing a budget that includes
many of the exceptional programs which Darien residents expect and deserve. Many
residents provided input on the decisions and process, but the passage of the budget is
only the beginning of the decisions made on programming throughout the year. Residents
are always encouraged to attend City Council meetings or specific committee meetings
devoted to the Police, Municipal Services, and Administration. If we can be of assistance
with any project or concern during the summer, please feel free to contact City Hall at
(630) 852-5000.
Respectfully,
Kathleen Weaver

Congratulations to Kathleen Moesle
Weaver on her re-election as
Mayor of the City of Darien!
By: Mary Coyle Sullivan
T
he April fifth election was one of great debate with
many of the current city wide elected officials facing
opposition. Incumbent Mayor Kathy Weaver was
re-elected. Uncontested incumbent city council members
Michael Coren and Sylvia McIvor held on to their seats while
newcomers Joanne Ragona, Tina Beilke and Joerg Seifert will
join the council this May.
I had an opportunity to sit down and meet with Mayor Weaver
as she reflects on the past and looks ahead to the future of
our city.
One of her top priorities for the next four years is to maintain
the quality of life in Darien. She feels that strong businesses,
schools and infrastructure go hand-in-hand with a strong
community. The first step in doing this is to continue the
partnership that is already in place with the Darien Chamber
of Commerce.
Mayor Weaver is energized about the business growth
currently on the horizon. She is very excited about the
collaborative efforts that have already started with City Hall
and the Chamber. Business growth has been subtly happening
over the last few years. There will be more drastic changes
taking place in the months and years ahead. To highlight a
few items: the contract has been signed in the Towne Centre
area for Wal-Mart to become a Super Center. Additionally,
areas like Chestnut Court will be fully leased by the end of
summer, Smashburger will arrive on 75th & Lyman, there is
expressed interest in the vacant Hollywood Video space and
talks continue on the development of the City Center on Cass
Avenue between Plainfield and 75th Street.
One of the many joint ventures between the Chamber and
City is DarienFest. Addressing speculation that the fest will
not take place in 2011, Mayor Weaver has confirmed that
“DarienFest is funded for 2011 and the City and Chamber
will continue to explore the cost of the event in order to
determine what will happen in the years following.” In
cooperation with the Darien Park District, the chamber
was able to secure a reduction in the cost for permits on
Community Park.

One of City Hall’s biggest challenges ahead is the union
negotiation with the police force. The process was put on
hold until after the election. Now it is time to go back to
the table and cooperatively explore the safest and most cost
effective manner to serve the community.
Her opponent, Kevin Monaghan, pressed the issue of
downsizing the police force during the recent campaign.
Mayor Weaver stressed that the safety of the community
comes first. She felt it was time to test a program that
would allow for cutbacks in manpower due to the extensive
amount of overtime that was occurring. There has been two
months of statistics gathered on the plan and the Police Chief,
department and city hall continue to study the data. Thus far
the consensus is that there has not been any impact on
Chase Bank has signed a letter of intent for the corner of
75th and Cass Avenue. This parcel will be developed first and
then followed up with the adjoining properties. There will
be uniformity from one end of the center to the other once
completed. The City Center concept was brought to light
years ago when the comprehensive plan was created. Due
to a decline in the economy and issues with the EPA, the
development has taken much longer than originally anticipated.
Weaver said the city will revisit the proposals that were laid
out by the two developers who were finalists in the plan. The
city will then secure one of them as the organization to put this
plan into action and create what the community has anxiously
awaited to see come out of the ground.

services. Chief Bob
Pavelchik is retiring from his
post after serving as chief
since 2002. He has been a
member of the police force
since 1978. Mayor Weaver
was asked if the retirement
of Chief Pavelchik would
have any impact on the
negotiation process. She
responded that, “Chief
Pavelchik’s retirement will
not have an impact on the
police negotiations.  At this
point we are waiting to hear
back from the union as to
whether they are ready to
resume negotiations which they stopped awaiting the outcome of the mayoral election. 
Personally, it is bittersweet to see the Chief retire. Bob has been a great police chief and
he will be missed but I understand that he is ready for the next stage in his life and I am
very happy for him.”
No doubt the city has been faced with many challenges led by the downturn of the
economy. In addition to the police union contract negotiations, Mayor Weaver looks
forward to focusing her energy on the downtown development and expansion of
75th Street. These are major initiatives for the city. The city plans to continue their
commitment to maintaining infrastructure and will resurface 6 miles of streets this
summer along with sidewalk repair.
A sampling of some of Mayor Weaver’s goals for her upcoming term:
• Assure the citizens that the city is spending money wisely on their behalf.
• Keep an eagle eye on the property tax rate and keep Darien one of the lowest in
DuPage county.
• Maintain quality of life for all Darien residents.
• Bring more business to Darien that will in turn bring more people to the area.
• Continue to work cooperatively with the Chamber of Commerce on initiatives that
attract businesses and maintain a healthy partnership with the city.
The outcome of the election is bringing many new faces to the Council Chambers. Mayor
Weaver wants to work in unison with the veteran and new members for the greater good
of Darien. She does not want to see the council wars of days gone by returning to the
chambers. Cooperative government is how city hall will continue to run and televised
council meetings have really brought open and honest government to the forefront. She
is confident that under her leadership the city will continue to operate in a professional
manner that will serve the community well for the next four years.
Police Chief Retires
Chief Robert Pavelchik has announced his
retirement after a 33-year police career
in Darien, starting as a patrol officer in
1978. He was elevated to police chief 9
years ago and has done an incredible job
leading the police department and helping
maintain Darien as a “Nice Place to Live,”
as well as a safe place to live.
Pavelchik is extremely proud of the men
and women he has served with and has
enjoyed seeing their careers grow as well
as the Darien Police Department.

I
mprovements continue to happen at the Park
District. At their April 11 board meeting, the
Board approved to purchase and install a new
playground at Darien Community Park.  The new
playground area will be where the East playground
currently sits, but the area will be double in size.  Both
the West and East playgrounds will be removed, as these
are currently 13 and 16 years old, and are the most
utilized in the Park District.
 The new playground area will have a playground
structure for 2 to 5 year olds and one for 5 to 12 year
olds, separated by a path with benches. Playground
equipment will be installed this summer.  The old West
playground will remain up until the project is completed.
The Darien Park District coordinates with
SEASPAR (South East Association for Special Parks
and Recreation) to provide comprehensive recreation
opportunities for residents with disabilities. Individuals
with attention deficit disorder, autism, behavior
disorders, cognitive delays, Down Syndrome, epilepsy,
hearing impairments, learning disabilities, physical
impairments and visual impairments are all eligible for
SEASPAR programs.
