| Village and COD Nearing Decision on Potential Location of Innovation DuPage |
|
 Innovation DuPage, a new business incubator and accelerator concept led by the College of DuPage (COD), continues to build momentum and is nearing final decisions on its potential location at the Glen Ellyn Civic Center. Since early 2017, the Village and College of DuPage have been exploring opportunities to utilize the space in the Civic Center for two separate new business functions, including COD's Center for Entrepreneurship and their emerging partnership with Choose DuPage and Naperville based Rev3 for the development of Innovation DuPage.
The proposed design concept includes housing the Center for Entrepreneurship in the Village's current Planning and Development Department as well as part of the third floor of the Civic Center. Innovation DuPage would encompass the back of the vacant Police Department space and rear garage.
On October 25, the Board of Directors of Choose DuPage approved a resolution agreeing to partner with the College of DuPage and the Village of Glen Ellyn to establish Innovation DuPage as a not-for-profit corporation. Furthermore, the resolution included that Rev3, an establishment of Choose DuPage, will become part of Innovation DuPage. During a special meeting on October 26, the College of DuPage Board of Trustees likewise voted to approve registering Innovation DuPage as a not-for-profit corporation.
In July 2017, the Village and COD entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to formalize a process to design and cost-out improvements to the Civic Center in order to meet the needs of Innovation DuPage. The agreement concluded that COD would pay the costs of the associated design, and it is expected that the COD will be responsible for all costs associated with the improvements. COD is estimating to spend about $1.5 million in renovations to the Village's Civic Center, with a priority of maintaining its historic character and retaining shared community space for residents and community organizations.
During a Glen Ellyn Village Board Workshop and Board Meeting on Monday, November 13 at 6 p.m. and 7 p.m., the Board will vote on the approval of the Civic Center master plan and Innovation Center concept. Should the concept receive final approval from the Village Board and COD, Innovation DuPage would be set to open in the Civic Center in 2018.

- Conceptual plans for a possible multifamily development to be located on approximately 1.17 acres at 427-443 Duane Street and 425-435 Melrose Avenue. The conceptual plan is for a four-story, 48-unit apartment building with an underground parking garage and additional surface area parking.
- Conceptual plans for the renovation of the existing building at 400 North Main Street, formerly occupied by Giesche Shoes, for the purpose of a new restaurant, café and event space.

| Duane/Lorraine Parking Lot Open |

installing parking stops, spreading topsoil, sod, and/or seed occurring in the next week. The Village appreciates the community's patience during this much needed improvement project.

| November Water Bills |
|
The Village of Glen Ellyn has recently fielded a number phone calls from residents over their concerns of a higher water service bill. The service bills, mailed to Village of Glen Ellyn residents in early November, represent usage for August 15 to September 15 or for September 1 to October 1, depending on the resident's location in the Village.
The Village wants to remind residents that they are seeing higher water bills due to a number of reasons. Based upon rain data collected by the Village Links Golf Course, August is typically the wettest month of the year, however August 2017 was unusually dry. Normal August rainfall is 4.6", this year we received only .96". September had almost no precipitation at all. This would require increased use of water to care for lawns, landscaping and gardens.
Customers who have additional questions on their Village services bill are encouraged to
contact the Utility Billing Department at (630) 547-5335. Account information, including consumption history, can also be viewed online.
