The Aurora City Council approved, 10-1, a redevelopment agreement with a new Italian restaurant at 31-33 West New York Street known as Amore Mio, Tuesday, July 11.
Recently-elected alderman-at-large John Laesch was the one dissenting vote at the full City Council meeting immediately after the Committee of the Whole meeting held because of the Fourth of July holiday.
City government of Aurora documents show this Resolution and Redevelopment Agreement will facilitate the remodeling of dining services at the former restaurant at 33 West New York Street, formerly Gillerson’s Grubbery, which ceased operations in August 2022. The new restaurant will occupy the ground floor as well as the lowest level that opens on to Pinney Street, previously an unused space.
Amore Mio is leasing 5,292 square feet of space on two floors. The seating capacity will double from the current 80 seats to 160 seats. The second floor is a rental apartment, not part of the lease agreement between the property owner and the restaurant operator.
In addition to a complete redo of the first floor, the owner, Roberto Avila, is taking the ground floor raw space and converting it into a lounge-piano bar with additional seating capacity.
Avila has infused approximately $350,000 thus far into the project from a combination of his own capital, a loan secured by family members, and a Finish Line Grant provided at the end of 2022.
To complete the restaurant, an additional $200,000 is required which would make the total renovation cost $550,000 or roughly $100/SF. This includes an entirely new kitchen plus the first floor and lowest level renovation. As with all costs post-COVID-19 these are significantly higher than they would have been before the pandemic. The property will be brought up to ADA compliant standards.
Consistent with other similar projects, the City government has recognized this $200,000 as a reasonable financial gap that can be advanced by the City because it will receive their money back with interest within a short time frame from a combination of sales and food and beverage taxes.
Aside from his restaurant in Aurora, Avila operates two additional full-service restaurants and a coffee shop in Wheaton. At Altiro, projected revenues were initially in the $700,000 range. Despite the hardships of the COVID-19 pandemic, Avila kept his restaurant operating and his staff members employed, despite experiencing significant losses. Revenues have increased above $1,000,000 annually.
The City has not only reaped the benefits of this dependable and popular destination but has gained food and beverage and sales taxes which has created an approximate 20% return on its investment in Altiro.
Altiro has been recognized and voted a Top 10 Fusion/Tapas Restaurant in Illinois by Yelp, 2022 Best Mexican Restaurant by West Suburban Living and the 2021 and 2023 2nd Best Mexican Restaurant by West Suburban Living.
Amore Mio pays homage to the essence of the great Italian American restaurants of mid-20th century in New York City, where delicious, exceptionally, well-prepared food was served in settings that were simultaneously elegant, comfortable, and unpretentious. Amore Mio will offer nightly live music in its renovated piano bar Wednesday-Sunday. In line with other downtown restaurants, they will offer customer-friendly business hours serving lunch, dinner, and a late-night menu, independently from the Paramount operations.
A former professional soccer player in Mexico, Roberto went from humble beginnings to a highly sought-after restaurateur. Roberto continues to be an invested, social, and active member in the Aurora community. Just last week he recruited Angel Reyne, a professional soccer player and international star from Mexico, as part of the One Goal Aurora program offering free soccer programs to Aurora youth and a community talk. Hundreds of Aurora children have benefitted from these programs.
The property is within Restaurant Row on New York Street. The addition of Amore Mio will complement the area by bringing a new dining and lounge experience. With the additional residential units, planned and approved, on the East and West banks of the Fox River, upcoming demand for diversified dining and entertainment, will be met.
When Gillerson’s was operating, the City received an uneven flow of food and beverage taxes. For this analysis, City officials assumed Gillerson’s average revenues at approximately $500,000 which would equate to about $20,000 of taxes to the City.
Amore Mio estimates revenues of approximately of $1,600,000 or approximately $300/SF which is in-line with other successful restaurants in Aurora and other locales or more than three times the average revenues for the prior tenant. This revenue would produce approximately $60,000 in food and beverage sales taxes or about $40,000 greater than the average intake from the previous restaurant. Although the City is not receiving any food and beverage and sales taxes from the property now, it would be paid back in approximately three years if assumed that the property would continue not to be revenue producing. To be conservative, City officials are assuming only this incremental increase of $40,000 as if the Gillerson’s City contributions were still intact. Using this $40,000 increment, the City will get paid back in approximately five years or assuming a 5.5% imputed interest, the City would be able to pay itself back in six years. For whatever reason if the City has not repaid itself within eight years, Amore Mio has agreed to refund the difference to the City.
The sources and uses for Amore Mio are as follows:
- Sources of funding: EDL Loan: $222,000; owner equity: $53,000; City grant: $200,000; Finish Line Grant: $75,000.
- Where the funding is applied: First round renovation: $350,000; second round renovation: $200,000.
Total: $550,000.
Impact statement:
Approval of this resolution will ensure that chef Avila’s new Italian restaurant concept will originate here in Aurora and solidify the company’s presence and headquarter base in the City. It will facilitate the opening of a new restaurant on Restaurant Row, now in the direct path of development given the activity on the nearby Westbank and the impending move of the Casino opening up its vacated space for future development. Approval will acknowledge Avila and his family’s commitment to the City demonstrated both during the COVID-19 pandemic and his various charitable contributions here. The City will receive its money back for the grant by obtaining incremental sales and food and beverage funds that it otherwise would not have received.

The City Council approved the following agenda item:
- Approved was a Resolution repealing R01-173, authorizing the execution of an emergency warning siren activation agreement between the City and the Village of Montgomery.
City government of Aurora documents show the purpose of this repeal is to bring ownership and consistency to the use of outdoor warning sirens.
Resolution R01-173 was passed in April 2001, establishing authorization for the testing and activation of outdoor warning sirens by the City for the Village of Montgomery. This was established because the City had the capability to perform monthly testing of the siren network and activate the sirens during a tornado warning. At the time, the Village of Montgomery did not have any other alternate option for testing and activation.
Repeal of the previous resolution is necessary because the City should not be testing nor activating outdoor warning sirens for any other municipality. It is not efficient to operate the outdoor warning siren system in the manner it is set up, as it is an all or none – meaning one button sets off all sirens in the system.
For example, if the City were to set off the sirens for a tornado warning in Montgomery, Aurorans living on Route 59 would hear the sirens and receive mixed signals in the event the storm system has not reached their area. If the City were to set off the sirens for a tornado warning on Route 59 in Aurora, the Village of Montgomery would receive mixed signals, especially if they were removed from any severe thunderstorm/tornado warning. It is an outdated set-up that needs to be revised.
Impact statement:
If the previous resolution is not repealed the system cannot be updated for maximum efficiency and public safety.
- Approved was an Ordinance Amending Chapter 49 of the Code of Ordinance, City of Aurora, by Modifying the Zoning Map to Rezone Property near the Northeast Corner of North Farnsworth Avenue and Mountain Street from R-1, One Family Dwelling District, to M-1, Manufacturing District – Limited.
City government of Aurora documents show the Property is made up of two parcels of approximately six acres of vacant land that is near the northeast corner of N. Farnsworth Avenue and Mountain Street The Property consists of the parcels with the PINs 15-13-301-012 and 15-13-301-028. The Property is presently zoned R-1, One Family Dwelling District. The Property fronts on N. Farnsworth Avenue. The Comprehensive Plan designates the interior rear portion of the property as Industrial, while the portion that fronts on N. Farnsworth Avenue is designated as conservation, open space, recreation, and drainage. A significant portion of the Property that fronts on N. Farnsworth Ave is not developable as it designated for floodplain. In addition, there is a creek that runs through the northwestern portion of the Property.
The Petitioner, Ruben Hernandez, is requesting to rezone approximately six acres of vacant land near the northeast corner of N. Farnsworth Ave. and Mountain St. to the M-1 zoning district. Rezoning to the M-1 zoning district will allow for the property to be utilized for outdoor storage by the property directly to the east. The outdoor storage will be completely screened per the Zoning Ordinance’s standards with a six foot tall, solid fence. The storage will also be separated from the adjacent residentially zoned properties with a 25-foot landscape buffer. There will be no access to the Property from N. Farnsworth Avenue. Access will only be available from the adjacent industrial property to the east, which is on Mountain St. The storage lot will be paved with gravel, which is a permitted parking surface material for storage.
Staff members reviewed the Rezoning petition and have sent comments back to the Petitioner on those submittals. The Petitioner has made the requested revisions to these documents and they now meet the applicable codes and ordinances, with the exception of the items reflected in the conditions listed in the staff members’ recommendation below.
Public input: Due public notice was given for the public hearing on this matter. As of the date of this memo, staff members received two public inquiries regarding the nature of this petition.
Findings of Fact:
1) Is the proposal in accordance with all applicable official physical development policies and other related official plans and policies of the city of Aurora?
The proposal is in accordance with the applicable development plans and policies of the city of Aurora. The Petitioner has submitted plans for zoning and engineering review to ensure that the Property is developed to code.
2) Does the proposal represent the logical establishment and/or consistent extension of the requested classification in consideration of the existing land uses, existing zoning classifications, and essential character of the general area of the property in question?
Staff members believe that rezoning the Property from R-1 to M-1 will allow for the Property to be utilized for outdoor storage, which is consistent with the M-1 zoning, as well as the Comprehensive Plan’s designation of the property as Industrial and Conservation, Open Space, Recreation, and Drainage. The Petitioner has also gone to great length to provide adequate screening for the adjacent residential properties in the form of fencing and landscaping.
3) Is the proposal consistent with a desirable trend of development in the general area of the property in question, occurring since the property in question was placed in its present zoning classification, desirability being defined as the trend’s consistency with applicable official physical development policies and other related plans and policies of the City of Aurora?
Staff members believe that the proposal is consistent with the desirable trend of development in the area as it adequately buffers the adjacent residential properties from the Property’s expanded outdoor storage, which will be utilized by the existing, adjacent company to the east.
4) Will the rezoning allow uses which are more suitable than uses permitted under the existing zoning classification?
Staff members believe that rezoning the Property to the M-1 zoning district will allow for it to be developed more suitably by the adjacent business for outdoor storage than in the current R-1 zoning district. The floodplain and the creek also limit development of the property as a single-family residential use.
5) Is the rezoning a consistent extension of the existing land uses, existing zoning classifications, and essential character of the general area?
Staff members believe that rezoning the Property is a consistent extension of the existing land uses, zoning classifications, and essential character of the general area as the outdoor storage is permitted in the M-1 zoning district, in addition to also being fully screened from the adjacent residential properties.
Policies and guidelines:
14.1 (4): To encourage quality site design throughout the City of Aurora.
22.1 (2): To protect designated areas of existing conventional single-family development from inappropriate highly intensive land uses.
41.1 (7): To encourage improvements in existing industrial areas that minimize industrial blight and reduce incompatibilities with neighboring land uses.
Recommendations:
The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended conditional approval of the ordinance amending Chapter 49 of the Code of Ordinances, city of Aurora, by modifying the zoning map to rezone property near the northeast corner of North Farnsworth Avenue and Mountain Street from R-1, One Family Dwelling District, to M-1, Manufacturing District – Limited, with the following conditions:
1) No site improvements or use of the properties can begin until the Final Engineering Plan has been approved by the Engineering Department.
2) Stormwater management (detention and best management practice mitigation) must be in place and construction found to be acceptable prior to use of the Property.
3) Engineering fee and security for all site improvements will be required and must be submitted to the Engineering Department for engineering site plan approval.

5) No access onto North Farnsworth Avenue will be permitted for the Property.
- Approved was a Resolution authorizing the execution of an intergovernmental agreement between the city of Aurora and the Fox Valley Park District describing the cost sharing of the W. Illinois Ave to Orchard Avenue water main improvements project and City water main easement required for the proposed location of the water main.
City government of Aurora documents show the purpose is to obtain City Council approval for cost sharing of the water main improvements and conveyance of a City water main easement.
The water main improvement project is needed to replace the existing water main that has a history of breaks and extend it to Orchard Avenue to provide a water main loop and improve water quality. Both agencies met this winter to discuss the need for this project, cost sharing responsibilities and the requirement of a city water main easement. The proposed Intergovernmental Agreement addresses those needs and concerns.
Eight bids were received by the City, opened, and read aloud on May 31, 2023. The lowest responsible bid in the amount of $402,861.00 was submitted by Stokes Excavating Inc. The water main improvements will be funded with account 510-4058-511-73-02 (IC076 & IC080) which has a 2023 budget amount of $11,950,000.00. A portion of this water main is on the property of and is the responsibility the Fox Valley Park District at 101 W. Illinois Avenue. The Fox Valley Park District is committing to paying for 20% of the project ($80,572) to cover the portion of the water main which is their responsibility as detailed in this proposed Intergovernmental agreement.
Impact statement:
By not approving this agreement, the residents on Orchard Avenue will continue to have reduced water quality and the facility 101 W. Illinois Avenue owned by the Fox Valley Park District will be at a higher risk of being impacted by a potential water main break.
- Approved was a Resolution accept a bid proposal from Interiors for Business, Inc. of Batavia, Ill., through a Sourcewell Cooperative Agreement Contract #121919-STI in the amount of $87,675.23.
City government of Aurora documents show the purpose is to obtain City Council approval to accept a proposal for the purchase, delivery, and installation of office furniture through Interiors for Business, Inc., as part of the Aurora Police Department’s project to enhance the Crisis Intervention Unit.
The 2023 budget included a decision package from the Aurora Police Department to provide various enhancements to the Crisis Intervention Unit, a social worker co-response model for responding to assist those in the community in crisis during public safety interactions.
Part of this enhancement includes the need to provide a workspace for social workers, case managers, crisis intervention team officers, and supervisory staff members associated with the Crisis Intervention Unit.
During the planning phase of the Crisis Intervention Unit enhancement project, two needs were identified; an increase in social worker and police staffing in the unit and a dedicated workspace to support the daily efforts of the unit
A solution was found which included the relocation of the APD Traffic Unit to another place inside police headquarters, allowing that office space to be repurposed for the Crisis Intervention Unit. A refit of that space was required to accommodate the increased staffing and a change in the function of that workspace.
City officials found Interiors for Business, Inc., a local business that participates in the Sourcewell Cooperative Agreement and is a vendor that has provided reliable service to the City of Aurora in the past. Interiors for Business, Inc. demonstrated that they are able to meet the needs of the police department and will provide materials, delivery, and installation needed for this refit.
A decision package was approved in 2023 but a budget transfer will be submitted to account 101-3536-421.61-41 from account 101-3536-421.32-99.
Local preference does not apply when using a cooperative purchase program.
Impact statement:
This approval of this proposal is necessary to provide suitable working space for members of the Crisis Intervention Unit, which will assist them in providing responsive and appropriate services to members of the Greater Aurora community.
- Approved was a Resolution authorizing Crawford, Murphy & Tilly to provide professional engineering services to the Water Production Division for a new water well construction project, in an amount not-to-exceed of $283,000.
City government of Aurora documents show the purpose is to obtain City Council authorization to enter into an agreement for professional engineering services with Crawford, Murphy & Tilly (CMT), Aurora, IL for the design, bidding, and construction engineering of proposed Well 105 for the Water Production Division (WPD).
Well 103, at 501 Orchard Rd. (Ward 5) is a shallow well, constructed in 1988, and was capable of supplying approximately 700,000 gallons per day of raw groundwater to the City of Aurora Water Treatment Plant.
During recent scheduled well maintenance, it was discovered that the original construction of the Well 103 borehole had failed. A failure of the casing/well screen allowed massive quantities of gravel pack to collapse into the well, filling up approximately 35 feet from the bottom of the borehole. Although the well was operable at the time, significant expense would be incurred to reconstruct the well, and a loss of pumping capacity is projected to occur by Layne Christensen who assisted the city in the investigation. In addition, this well location is found in the 100 year floodplain and more specifically in the floodway. As a result, a new location has been identified for the proposed Well 105, at 2390 W. Illinois Avenue, the site of fire station #10 (Ward 5). Well 103 will be properly sealed per well abandonment regulations.
Benefits of the new well will be 1) constructed outside of the floodplain; 2) a larger capacity well is expected by drilling into a deeper rock formation; 3) the new well will have a much lower potential for contamination in the deeper rock formation.
In order to drill a new well, ensure professional construction, and specify equipment selection, full design plans, drawings, and specifications must be developed and subsequently approved/permitted by the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency. CMT will provide comprehensive engineering services for the proposed Well 105 project.
CMT has been the engineer of record for the most recent well construction projects completed for the WPD including Well 28 in 2008 and wells 29 and 129, both in 2009, and several others in the 1990’s. The proposed Well 105 is planned to be drilled and constructed in a very similar manner to Well 129. CMT possesses the appropriate expertise and qualifications for this project, as well as extensive project experience for the City of Aurora and long-term familiarity with the City of Aurora Water Production Division planning, operations, and assets, including the existing underground piping that will be connected to the new well. As such, it is recommended the agreement be approved per City of Aurora Code of Ordinances, Chapter 2, Division 2, Section 2-336 Contracts Exempt or Excluded From Formal Bidding: (a) The city may award a written contract for professional services, which shall include architectural, engineering, surveying, construction management, accounting, auditing, safety and security risk assessment, computer and data assessment and services, legal and other financial services, without complying with the other provisions of this division.
- Approved was a Resolution to award the Illinois Avenue to Orchard Avenue Water Main Improvements project in Ward 6 to Stokes Excavating Inc. in the bid amount of $402,861.00.
City government of Aurora documents show the purpose is to replace the existing water main that has a history of breaks and extend it to Orchard Avenue to provide a water main loop and improve water quality.
Closures of entrances to the business will be kept to a minimum during construction.
Eight bids were received, opened, and read aloud on May 31, 2023. The lowest responsible bid in the amount of $402,861.00 was submitted by Stokes Excavating Inc. The water main improvements will be funded with account 510-4058-511-73-02 (IC076 & IC080) which has a 2023 budget amount of $11,950,000.00. A portion of this water main is on the property of and is the responsibility the Fox Valley Park District at 101 W. Illinois Avenue. The Fox Valley Park District is committing to paying for 20% of the project ($80,572) to cover the portion of the water main which is their responsibility as detailed in a proposed Intergovernmental agreement. A Plat of Easement and the Intergovernmental Agreement with the Fox Valley Park District are to be approved concurrently as this construction contract.
This project was subject to the Local Preference Ordinance, however no local contractors submitted.
Impact statement:
There will be lane closures on each of these local roads and the adjacent Fox River Bike Path during the duration of the project. Water shutdowns during the project will be planned and residences will be notified to minimize impact. Impacts to traffic and residents will be kept to a minimum.
- Approved was a Resolution authorizing the extension of project completion for 514 Claim Street, Aurora.
City government of Aurora documents show in 2015 the property at 514 Claim St. was severely damaged due to a fire and sat vacant and in disrepair.
October 27, 2021, the city of Aurora, an Illinois municipal corporation, in the case of Plaintiff, vs. Estate of Ivar Forsner, et al., Defendants, in Kane County Circuit Court, a Judgement was entered which provided that the City of Aurora was granted a Judicial Deed, thereby extinguishing all other ownership interest.
An informal solicitation was sent out in September 2021 to demolish the garage on the site, which was completed by Fox Excavating.
Rather than demolish the home, the City opted to undergo a new process. The home would be subject to a competitive process, with the “winning bid” being conveyance of the property upon completion of the project. One of the primary requirements was the requirement that the location be an owner-occupied residential property upon completion of the renovations.
A Request for Proposal (RFP) was posted February 2022 for qualified firms to acquire the property and perform the required renovations to the property. On March 2, 2022, a mandatory site visit took place. Two responses were received by the due date and time on March 11, 2022. Following committee review and scoring, Fox Valley Habitat for Humanity was selected.
Representatives from the Mayor’s Office have remained in contact with Fox Valley Habitat for Humanity throughout the course of this project. The project has experienced some delays due to the combined factors of unexpected infrastructure needs inside the home and supply chain issues. The completion date for this project was June 30, 2023; Fox Valley Habitat has asked for an extension until August of 2023.
Impact statement:
Extending the deadline for this project will not have a negative impact on the neighborhood or the City.
- Approved was a Resolution amending the original contract with ESi Acquisition, Inc., of Atlanta, Ga., for a three-year agreement for emergency management software services in the amount of $73,684.34.
City government of Aurora documents show the WebEOC solution from ESi Acquisition, Inc., (ESi) is an Internet-based emergency management solution that provides a central location for situation awareness during an incident. If an incident occurs within the city, such as a tornado or severe flooding, WebEOC will be activated to help coordinate a fast and effective response. Once activated, the City’s Emergency Management team and external emergency partners will utilize WebEOC to track the incident and coordinate responses with City staff members and external partners.
The original purchase of the WebEOC platform April 6, 2020 was made as an emergency purchase under the established city of Aurora state of emergency as an operational need during the COVID-19 pandemic. The purchase of the original WebEOC Core subscription was initiated to provide Aurora Emergency Management Agency a program for use under the state of emergency as no previously existing program was in place at the time of the pandemic.
WebEOC proved to be critical during the pandemic response as WebEOC is the world’s most widely-used incident management software, and the majority of the City’s most critical local, state, and federal partners utilize WebEOC.
WebEOC is designed to provide a deep understanding of the needs of the emergency manager.
This upgraded subscription is providing Aurora Emergency Management Agency and City staff members dedicated to emergency and disaster operations a platform that will provide:
— The same number of users within the WebEOC solution.
— Integration with the City’s mapping solution, ESRI ArcGIS, avoid duplication of efforts and allows for City GIS personnel to work directly inside the program developing maps for information and workflow processes.
— A more user-friendly interface and platform allowing for the sharing of data and establishing common workflows which will lead to greater collaboration among departments, agencies and organizations, resulting in faster response and recovery.
— Day to day capabilities to provide situational awareness to city officials and even allow for other departments to utilize the program under times of high demand. For example, Public Works Streets can use the platform to plan out calls for service after severe storms.
— The delivery of messages via email and push notifications to keep all information in one place and ensure the recipient is notified.
During the pandemic response, EMA staff members found WebEOC to be an invaluable communications and coordination tool and desires to extend the existing agreement.
While this upgraded service was not budgeted, funds are available in 101-1280-429.45.02 for this purchase.
Impact statement:
If this amendment is not approved City access to WebEOC will be restricted and communications during an emergency will be hindered.
- Approved was a Resolution authorizing the sale of obsolete and surplus property.
City government of Aurora documents show the purpose is to sell surplus vehicles and equipment equitably and efficiently through public auction.
The City of Aurora has sold City-owned vehicles and equipment through public auctions for more than twenty years.
In 2023, following trade-ins and salvages, the City will have several used surplus vehicles and equipment remaining to sell. Prior to sale, the Fleet Maintenance Division removes all City decals, license plates, insurance cards, and other identification. Police vehicles are restored to a monochromatic paint scheme and all law enforcement lighting and equipment is removed.
The City has utilized JJ Kane Auctioneers for many years to efficiently sell vehicles and equipment. Their auction yard is in Beloit, Wis.. The auctions are open to the public and conducted via internet. There are no fees charged to the City other than the transportation charge of the vehicles to the auction yard which is deducted from the final sale proceeds.
Some of the operable vehicles will be retained until later in the year. This temporary addition to the fleet will provide vehicles for City divisions that employ seasonal staff members.
Proceeds from the sale of vehicles are recorded as revenue in account 101-0000-392.01-00
