Alderman Torina asked if the development of the McDonald's on West State

Street would move forward if the $200,000 incentive was not approved by City

Council.

City Administrator Todd Cagnoni explained the steps the developer has already

taken on the project but stated he could not confirm whether the developer would

proceed without the incentive.

Alderman Bell indicated he had questions for First Midwest Group and he

mentioned there was a representative from the developer in the audience. He

asked Mayor McNamara if it was possible to allow Mr. Keys to answer questions

from the council members.

Mayor McNamara asked the council members if they would allow Mr. Keys the

opportunity to speak. A vote was taken and it was unanimously approved.

Alderman Bell then asked Mr. Keys if First Midwest Group would proceed

forward with the McDonald's development if the incentive was not approved by

City Council.

Mr. Keys indicated that, at this point, both McDonald's and First Midwest Group

could terminate the agreement. He explained there were still numerous

requirements outstanding before the project could move forward, but once City

Council approved the incentive, he contacted McDonald's and made a

commitment that First Midwest Group was moving forward with the project. He

indicated this Motion to Reconsider has put First Midwest Group in a tough

situation.

After a lengthy discussion, a vote was taken on the Motion to Reconsider

Ordinance 2026-24-O. MOTION PREVAILED with a roll call vote of 7 to 6
