PUBLIC FORUM
Citizens’ Requests and Comments:
Linda Iberg, President of Ladies’ Auxiliary of American Legion Post 439, and three other members were present to make everyone aware of the annual Poppy Campaign. She stated we distribute the poppies over Memorial Day weekend. Donations received go to support veterans at the local hospitals. The poppy is recognized as the “remembrance flower”. Veterans of the VA hospitals used to assemble them; however, COVID changed that. Now, the members of our legion are all involved in assembling these at assembling parties. Donations are used only for veterans’ projects and needs. We’d like to start by presenting the first poppy to the mayor.
Amy Frey, Brent Frey and Nick Frey came forward. Amy stated we purchased the property off Sportsman Road and we would like to explain our intention for the property. For many years, there has been a need for loving childcare. I set up an interest form to gauge the need for childcare in Highland. We are planning a building with a main level to include ten classrooms. Four of those rooms would be for infants. We have 39 families on our list looking for toddler care. Capacity would be for about 150 children. We have currently 272 interest enrollment forms. I have set up a website with interest forms and employment information. We have 32 potential interested for employment. In January, we got the news of one local daycare closing. They have been very supportive of our plans. I believe young children thrive off a loving and caring environment, which we want to provide. Mayor Hemann expressed we look forward to working with you. I know you are currently working with Building and Zoning on the plans. Sometimes those are stumbling blocks; but, they are for the safety of everyone. Please continue to work with them. City Manager Conrad stated I think the location is great and very convenient. I do not have kids that young anymore; however, quality daycare has always been in great demand. Mrs. Frey stated we have a really good relationship with our state representative. I have been reaching out to her and she has been helpful in developing our plans. She shares in the excitement and sees the needs. We have had our eyes on that lot for years. I have had parents with two-year olds reaching out and inquiring if siblings get priority in the infant room. That is how much need there is for this.
Requests of Council:
No comments or requests.
Staff Reports:
Director Rosen’s Farewell Address – Director of Parks & Recreation Mark Rosen introduced his family members in attendance: Addison Rosen; my 91-year-old today father, Dan Rosen; my mom; my wife, Kelly; and, my favorite in-laws, Dave and Carol Rakers. Director Rosen stated I want to thank God, my family and friends, the countless organizations, fellow directors, mayors and city councils, I have gotten to work with over the years. Chris Conrad, you given me renewed enthusiasm. Thank you for your transparency and motivation. Jerome and Carla Zobrist showed me a lot and instilled my enthusiasm for the position. I wanted to create a community you want to live in. I wanted people to see the passion for the parks and recreations programs. I was a child of the Parks & Rec program in the 70’s, worked at the pool in the 80’s. In 1999, I became park leader as I finished my college degree. As I continued to move up, I learned a lot from others such as Bill Pierce, Homer Poss, and Judy Schmitt. Then, there is the admiration I had for the fellow directors. I tried to instill importance of family, health, value of time and social interaction with the parks and programs created. All of this has to be done balanced with the other priorities within the community of protecting our citizens, maintaining our streets, providing communications and power, along with other services within our community. The friendships I have made I treasure. Did people disagree with me? Of course. Being a public servant has challenges. I never expected anyone in my department to do what I would not do. So, as I start a new way of life, I feel good about what I have done. I have given the city all I could. I am a better person. I leave with a quote from A.A. Milne: "How lucky am I to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard."
Mayor Hemann thanked Mark. He added, Brad and Laura, you have big shoes to fill; however, you have had a good teacher. City Manager Conrad reminded everyone that all city offices will be closed on Friday from 11:30-1:30 for Mark’s Retirement Party. A notification has been sent out on social media.
Review of Purchasing/Procurement Policies – City Manager Chris Conrad reported this is our annual discussion on the purchasing policy. There have been no State law changes that would impact our internal purchasing policies and we have no suggestions for any changes in policy for you to consider. Under the policy, directors have authority to approve all purchases under $1,500. For $1,500-$24,999, it requires both the director and City Manager to approve. $25K and above must have the director, and, City Manager and the council’s approval. Quotes and pricing, for amounts under $1,500, Directors are encouraged to get verbal quotes at least once a year. $1,500-$5,000 must have at least three verbal quotes and documented on the purchase request form. $5K-$24K must have three written quotes and attached to the purchase request. $25K and above must be competitively bid or fall under one of the exceptions discussed below.
When it comes to Joint Purchasing, per state statute, municipal governments can purchase items either through the State bid or through approved purchasing consortiums without having to obtain quotes or competitively bid the purchase. The State bid or consortium pricing is considered the public bid/quoting process. A list of the state bid contracts and approved purchasing consortiums are maintained by the Office of the Chief Procurement Officer, for the State of Illinois. An example would be computer servers. Because of the amount, these still requires council approval. For Sole Source purchases, these do not require competitive bids or quotes but still require council approval if over $25K. This exemption exists for the following reasons: The purchase is for equipment for which there is no comparable or competitive product or is only available from one supplier; purchase is from a public utility, natural gas or other regulated monopoly; the purchase is for a component or replacement part for which there is no commercially available substitute and which can only be obtained from the manufacturer or a single supplier; it is the purchase of an item where compatibility is the overriding consideration, such as computer software or the meters for our electrical system; or, if it is a used item that becomes immediately available and is subject to prior sale. In the last few years, we have seen fewer competitors. I guess it is the sign of the times; however, the government supplier listings provide very good pricing.
City Manager Conrad reported on the grass complaint issues. He explained, beginning in May, the inspectors split the town in half and do a tall grass patrol each Wednesday. They issue a seven-day notice to any that are over eight-inches in height. Any that are not cut by the following Thursday, after the seven-day notice expires, our city crews then cut the grass and a fine is levied. Any that are not eight inches, go on the watch list for the following week; so, that is why certain yards can get a bit longer than others before we cut them.
Modifications to Existing Indefeasible Right of Usage With Bluebird – Director Angela Imming reported, today, I’d like to speak briefly about a concept in telecommunications and infrastructure investment called the Indefeasible Right of Usage (IRU). An IRU is not just a contract. It is a long-term right, often spanning 15-25 years, to use a specific portion of capacity in a fiber optic cable, satellite, or similar network infrastructure. The key word here is "indefeasible". That means the right, once granted, cannot be revoked, altered, or taken away. It’s a fixed entitlement. Think of it like buying a condo in a building: you don’t own the whole building, but your unit is yours to use, lease, or even sell, for the term agreed. This model emerged as global telecom infrastructure expanded and investment costs soared. Companies realized that owning entire networks was inefficient, especially when they only needed part of the capacity. So IRUs became a solution, enabling shared ownership of bandwidth, while reducing upfront capital and fostering global connectivity.
Director Imming stated the IRU I am presenting you today, in particular, was signed in 2014 and is a twenty-year IRU originally contracted with a company called PEG – Public Equity Group. PEG was big in the cell tower connectivity business but has since been acquired by our partner, Bluebird Networks. From a legal standpoint, IRUs are complex. They are not just leases or service agreements. They are treated more like asset ownership. Buyers often pay a significant upfront fee, along with ongoing maintenance costs, in exchange for long-term, exclusive use rights. This IRU was written with the future in mind; therefore, we have amended the original IRU to include two new services. One segment of fiber in this IRU connects the AT&T cell towers around Highland. It is dark fiber that is lit by AT&T. AT&T is upgrading their network to provide additional speed and bandwidth. As such, AT&T has requested a modification to the IRU contracted between Bluebird and HCS. To assist AT&T with their upgrade, HCS will splice new fiber at each segment so that AT&T can build their new network while the existing network is operational. The amendment includes an escalated monthly price to encourage AT&T to release the original fiber back to HCS. The annual recurring rates for the existing segments of fiber, negotiated in the original IRU are $300.00. Bluebird will continue to pay for these throughout the duration that the second AT&T network is constructed and torn down. The other segment of fiber in this IRU is additional and will be used to enhance connectivity from the St. Louis area to Chicago, not only for HCS but for all Bluebird Network traffic. The upgraded network/additional pair of fiber will allow Bluebird to implement a virtual redundant route and use a technology called MPLS for our traffic to Chicago. The total one time revenue for the amendments to this IRU is $24,300.00. The total revenue for the annual usage is $10,000.00 (coterminous with the existing IRU, until August 2034). Hopefully, this IRU helps council understand the positive impact our fiber to the premise/HCS has and will continue to have on the region that spans well outside of the scope of offering TV and internet services to the citizens of Highland.
Fiscal Year 2025 EMS Report – Chief Brian Wilson stated this is our first year of operation with offering city-only services. Last year, the other districts decided to contract with their own provider. Due to this, we saw a fifty-percent reduction in personnel, based upon a fifty-percent reduction in service calls projection. We established mutual aid agreements with neighboring districts and we established service with our fire department to assist in call response. Some calls involving heavier people require additional hands to move that person.
When it comes to mutual aid, we must provide it so that when we need it, others will assist us. Our policy is that we will only respond to contiguous districts and we will only respond to emergency scenes. This past year, we received 36 mutual aid requests; however, we only responded to 19, because they met our criteria. We track the number of calls and look at trends that affect our services. The majority of calls, just over 80%, occur between 7am – 10pm. We at Highland EMS like to remain vigilant. Nothing is more important to our staff than the well-being of our citizens. We will recommend whatever action is necessary to ensure that all requests for EMS service are responded to in a timely manner. Councilwoman Sloan thanked Chief Wilson for the monthly updates and the charts, which are very useful. Mayor Hemann added we knew it was going to be a challenge to make the necessary changes. A lot of misinformation went out at the start, but we have addressed that. It is amazing how close we were on the predicted number of calls. Chief Wilson stated we have not missed a call yet, which is our commitment.

We received information through the IML newsletter, after hearing about this at a few IML trainings and other various organizations.

We have very minimal levels in our system presently; however, we anticipate seeing more and we will incur costs to treat within our systems, at some point. I asked our firm to research firms involved in litigation. There is no cost to the city. It is a contingency contract. Only if they win, they get 33-1/3%. If we get some funds out of this, we will put the money towards reserves for the wastewater treatment facility. Roll Call Vote: Councilmembers Sloan, Klaus, Bellm and Napper voted aye, none nay.
