Council discussed that the fee language appears in two places in the code and that the ordinances (listed on the agenda as Ordinance 20 25 to 18 and Ordinance 25 19) make related amendments. One council member said the council is not waiving permits generally but is granting the city manager authority to waive fees for nonprofits.

“I will mention I volunteer for Streeterfest,” one council member said while noting no conflict of interest; another council member confirmed that because the change gives discretion to the city manager it does not create a blanket waiver. A staff clarification noted the item had been discussed at previous meetings, including committee of the whole, and the council had reviewed the changes before the vote.

Council members moved and seconded the ordinances and recorded unanimous “aye” votes on both items. The meeting record does not show any change to the substance of permits beyond the fee-waiver authority; the council did not specify criteria, a fee schedule change, or a fiscal impact at the meeting.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","City Council Meeting -June 18, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The City Council approved two related ordinances to amend carnival, circus and parade permit fees; the change allows the city manager to waive fees for nonprofit events and consolidates fee language found in two code sections.","taxTitle","Streator City, LaSalle County, Illinois","taxId",59331,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6190265,"Streator approves site-grant for Schulz Funeral Services to renovate former McGrath property",77,353705,431670,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5052124-74853a3223795cea99dd8d5236d98d98&start=353&end=431","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5052124-74853a3223795cea99dd8d5236d98d98/thumbnail_353705.jpg","/articles/6190265/Streator-City/LaSalle-County/Illinois/Streator-approves-site-grant-for-Schulz-Funeral-Services-to-renovate-former-McGrath-property","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6190265-d5629c9abb98bc206f91e624621712ed/orig.mp4?Expires=1771195766&Signature=bGgL3tY7PqFPDBpzDHO93sE2uiwOOWMQ5ZnKd4dyCixwN-TNpeQ4oTyu7oM10Lc3~vA4aYRiV7pGNW1geXm08HtamNKGvSRUqa0v~p-4efszLjUoy08Ojv4j~Kj0n8TIisd37Ky27s8EkotAvZJwkc8a8SWli3wm67dZJvCrlakpRc1wcTfeUuDvFxDv3ZGuSDzyTSXFs43GdpiRSahZQfohaSILDYmcZLeQZ6dR-um6iAD~51VwHNFHPTlHh18y1pMQHjykLGUU8homSC3wE0EudKzaXAQ2BSg2Of5NIpQkgLgXXbjpqNf8pRY7X9kcyMXhdgiOmlmwN5PcuQHvuQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Streator City Council voted to grant a site-grant to Schulz Funeral Services for work at the former McGrath property on Elizabeth Place.

A staff speaker told the council the planning commission had made a unanimous recommendation to approve the grant. “It was unanimous recommendation, from the planning commission last week, for recommending approval of the grant to, the Schultz Funeral Services, through the former McGrath site,” the staff speaker said; the council asked that the minutes note the planning commission recommendation had been included in the meeting packet even though it was inadvertently left off the agenda.

The exterior work described in the meeting packet includes repainting the front of the building, redoing the existing entranceway, replacing or installing new metal roofing, installing signage, replacing the entry door and several windows, and work on a garage door on the building’s north end. No dollar amount for the grant was given in the discussion.

Council member Danko moved the resolution (listed in the agenda as Resolution 2025-26); Council member Shire seconded. The roll-call vote recorded Danko, Gary, Reid and Shire as voting “aye.” The motion passed.

The council’s action approved the grant and directed that the planning commission recommendation be reflected in the meeting record; the council did not discuss or adopt a specific funding source or program year numbers at the meeting.","The City Council approved a site-grant to Schulz Funeral Services for facade and entry repairs at the former McGrath site after a unanimous planning commission recommendation; council asked that the planning commission recommendation be reflected in the minutes.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6190270,"Streator council backs resident, passes resolution asking IDOT to improve safety at Route 18/Cane Lake Road intersection",475,80265,555445,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5052124-74853a3223795cea99dd8d5236d98d98&start=80&end=555","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5052124-74853a3223795cea99dd8d5236d98d98/thumbnail_80265.jpg","/articles/6190270/Streator-City/LaSalle-County/Illinois/Streator-council-backs-resident-passes-resolution-asking-IDOT-to-improve-safety-at-Route-18Cane-Lake-Road-intersection","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6190270-8ed736e9fd156414a7aebc83628a6144/orig.mp4?Expires=1771195766&Signature=XUGbFHSXmYAW2UGKlA62AXgrA0flBt8~AdNXrmYrotYU8hCvYB73EINk30k0QnCTlyjQoHVcv1ZfZzGBp-C46EgcyJ1Emp7l-B1tc43Wynq00VXUkgi02p0abntLtx~-dI1IVzZJjL3XTo4GJBjMOd5xVvksOAIZ~61ie4FBeija3qLB668T9kfirKt~SkVW-KiCWS4ISt~A4kdNw2CrakN5kfVwomLi287t3QnEx2SrKkzveRbq4jejgLy5iJk-hXYebd3YnS0u1f2cmSv13CjtbljarqIgtLDxqFu8NVu98UBqo35VDHVj8Kgbz-8B6xymTFAQacKxzG7~zxcFUQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Jordan Russo told the Streator City Council that the intersection of Illinois Route 18 and Cane Lake Road is dangerous and asked the city to press the Illinois Department of Transportation for changes.

“I have seen how dangerous it is. I’ve seen a lot of very near misses, a lot of close calls. People speed through that intersection. They blow through stop signs,” Russo said during the council’s public-comment period, and asked the city for “support and raising awareness and alertness of drivers.”

The council then considered and adopted Resolution 2025-27, “requesting that the Illinois Department of Transportation, IDOT, take action to improve traffic safety control at the intersection of Illinois Route 18 and East Fifteenth County Road located in LaSalle County, Illinois.” Council member Reid moved the resolution; Council member Shire seconded. The roll-call vote recorded Council members Danko, Gary, Reid and Shire as voting “aye.” The motion passed.

Before the vote, Reid said he had seen Russo’s posts online and that “a letter from the city of Streator or a resolution from the city of Streator would put some weight behind what she’s doing,” and commended her advocacy. Russo told the council she had documented 23 crashes over nine years at the intersection, “30 injuries and 1 confirmed fatality on scene,” and that totals for 2024 were not yet entered into the system.

The council’s resolution asks IDOT to review and take action; the resolution text itself was introduced and approved at the meeting. No specific engineering remedy, construction timeline or funding amount was adopted by the council at the meeting.

The council’s action followed public comment and is a formal request to a state agency; any traffic-control changes would require IDOT review and approval.","A Streator resident described multiple crashes at the Illinois Route 18/Cane Lake Road intersection and asked the city to press the Illinois Department of Transportation for improvements; the City Council adopted a resolution asking IDOT to act.","actionData","errors"]
