Talk Line 09-15-2026: Dixon Mayor Glen Hughes shares city updates · WIXN AM 1460 - Shaw Local Radio

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Hey there, Sauk Valley. Welcome back to The Waking Crew
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: here on FM 95.1 and AM 1460 WIXN. It's 819
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: on your Tuesday, September 15th morning. Halfway through the show
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: and through the month, the time flies by even quicker
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: on the radio, I like to say. And we are joined...
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: It is. It's true, Glenn. And laughing with us this morning,
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: we are joined by Dixon's mayor, Glenn Hughes. It really does, man.
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: And the older I get, that whole thing just seems
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: to get truer and truer.
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that has more to do with getting
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: older than the fact that you're on the radio.
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: Whatever excuse I can give myself, man, I'm going to
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: take it. Oh, boy. We're going to start off with...
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: You know, kind of diving into some of the headlines
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: we've seen about some of the action going around the city,
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: giving some clarifications for folks who may have not read
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: some of these stories knowing what's going on, and street work. Oh, yeah.
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: Street work, people may be wondering what's happened or when
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: they're going to get to their street. There's been a
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: fair amount of demand on the contractors. The city with
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: with those who do that type of work, the city
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: still has to compete with other communities and the state. Um,
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: so I think, I think there's been a lot of,
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: a lot of that work that's has tied up, um,
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: our contractor. Um, we expected, I was kind of hoping
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: they'd be started this week, but with the rain we
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: got going out there, I think, you know, that might
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: be a bit of an issue, but hopefully we get
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: some stuff opened up and they, and they get started, um,
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: both on the, on the streets. They'll continue their, their
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: work in, in through October and, and probably if we
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: have good weather, probably until the 1st of November. I
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: think they've got some deadlines. I'd have to talk to
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: the public works director about that specifically.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: But.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: You know, they're, they'll, they'll, they've done a good job
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: for us for many, many years. Well, the, the current
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: Martin or the other contractors that have done it, we've
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: always had them working pretty hard to get the streets
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: done in the time allotted. So the streets and the
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: contracted sidewalks should be getting started pretty soon. There have
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: been some sidewalk work done, but that's been That's been
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: the in-house stuff that's been worked on. So a little
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: bit of that, and particularly the stuff with the shared program,
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: there's been some of that done, I believe. So the
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: work's going to get done. Hasn't quite gotten where I'd
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: like to see it yet, but we have a lot
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: of confidence in the capability of the contractors. So the
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: work's going to get done.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah. And that's always the name of the game. I mean,
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: we've got our timeline and the weather does what it
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: wants and we've had a fair bit of rain and
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: definitely more so this week. Um, but yeah, I mean,
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: and part of that with contractors and work, they anticipate
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: some of that and then they, uh, as all of
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: us do, they, they pivot, right?
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they do. I think, I think they do a
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: good job of doing that. So as far as the
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: contracting work, uh, one of the things we added on there, um,
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: was some work in the area of Pirips Landing, not
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: too far from this facility, actually. And we're putting a
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: short roadway in there and a parking lot. The roadway
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: itself will enhance the contractor's ability to work on those.
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: the housing units that are going into the Purips landing area, um,
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: and have them so that they're ready, um, for occupancy,
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: hopefully by, by spring. But, um, the contractor already had
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: all the, um, subsurface stuff done, the infrastructure, you know, water, sewer,
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: that type of stuff is already, um, and the base
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: is already put in there. It was a matter of, um,
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: assisting with that, getting the roadway done. And that kind
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: of helps the city too. We've got a lift station.
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: I had to think of the right word. We've got
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: a lift station out there and that parking lot that's
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: being done was never meant to be the contractor's responsibility.
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: It's always been posted as being other responsibility which in
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: that case really means the city because that's going to
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: be a parking lot that's going to lead to the
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: extension of the bike path that will go into um
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: that will go into bloody gulch park so um this
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: was just a step up of the timing that we
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: were addressing on that um which helps expedite the situation
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: with the with the housing, which has been, um, really
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: through general discussions and even in our comprehensive plan, our,
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: our number one priority getting in a more affordable housing. Um,
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: and the sooner we can start making that available, the
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: better that is, I think for, for everybody. Um, so
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: that's that it, it wasn't expected for this, the timing
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: on this, um, But as it turned out, we were
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: able to get it in. We were able to get
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: it under our current contract with Martin doing the streets.
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: And so that seemed like appropriate. It looks like everybody
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: wins out of this situation. We enhance the contractor's ability
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: on PIRPS landing. We enhance our ability to get to
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: our lift station. and we get things ready for the
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: pathway continuation out into Bloody Gulch Park.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, again, it's all about a good pivot. When you
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: see an opportunity arise, it may not be part of
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: the original plan, but you see something even better, and
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: you're like, I cannot pass up the opportunity to optimize
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: what we're doing and pull all these goals into line
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: in a much more efficient way, it sounds like.
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think so. Um, we probably would have included, uh,
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: like the parking lot and that with the, with the
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: next round, um, next year, but with, you know, with
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: the need for the, uh, housing development, it just made
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: sense to, to bring everything in right now. So it,
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: it opted, I'm not sure that it It had a
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: significant impact on our total budget for our street work,
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: but in terms of what we had budgeted versus what
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: we'd actually contracted for, I think this just fills in
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: pretty much that gap. But on the other side of it,
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: it's not going to be tied to the general operating,
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: more to the TIFT fund, which is what that area is.
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: Part of that area is that whole Fargo Creek TIF
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: from the Gateway Project through Bloody Gulch Park into Pirips Landing.
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: Those are all pieces in that Fargo Creek TIF.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just part of exciting development that you see
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: happening that's not stopping people. Um, I've often had people
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: ask me like, I wonder, you know, what else they
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: could put out there. And it's like, it's, it's not
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: always about the next business. Um, it's, you know, here
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: housing is, is on the, uh, is on the mindset
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: and a great way to do that. But speaking of businesses,
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: I know we were talking before off air, we're both
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: enjoying our coffee. Um, and we were just kind of
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: joking about the fact the, the seven brew building, it is,
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: is still coming, even though sometimes the work you were
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: telling me is, uh, is stuff you don't always see
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: from the outside.
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I've, That was just a general conversation. As quick
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: as they put that building in there, I was actually
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: kind of hoping we'd actually see that by this talk line.
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: I thought maybe we'd see that already.
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: Be sharing a cup of seven brew?
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: Well, got to be careful about that. You know, I
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: got my regular spots. But it doesn't hurt to try,
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: you know.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: Try something new once in a while, sure. Yeah, I've
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: still yet to have it. I think I've just been
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: daunted by the long lines I see coming out over
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: at the other one. So I've never yet found a
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: clear timing. I'm always busy from one thing to the
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: next that I can jump in one of those lines.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: So it'll be kind of exciting to see, although I've
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: got to imagine for the first few weeks... I'd have
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: a better chance walking up to that thing than joining
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: the drive-thru line.
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, definitely.
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: They're popular. Speaking of drive-thrus, kind of wanted to make...
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: give a little clarification on a drive-thru headline we've seen
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: involving Terabas and Dixon.
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: Okay, nice transition.
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: Thank you. I try to go for smooth once in
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: a while.
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, this past council meeting, we updated our cannabis ordinance
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: or retail sales for cannabis. But it wasn't anything that
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: the city itself initiated in terms of those changes.
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: The city was.
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: Following, updating their ordinance to meet the state statute. And
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: in particular with the drive-up we didn't really have much
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: choice in there, much flexibility. If by code the building
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: would meet the existing, by statute, if the building met
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: the existing code for a drive up and that room was,
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: that space was available, we pretty much have to allow it.
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: So This move wasn't something initiated by anybody on the council,
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: wasn't even something that anybody on the council, I think,
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: had in the back of their mind. But with the
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: state statute changing, this was an update to become consistent
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: with that state statute.
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: I thought it was a good idea to bring this
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: up only not for the point of agreement or disagreement. Um, with,
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: with anything, but oftentimes folks will read a headline, sometimes
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: not much more. And then the question is, why did
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: we do this? What was the idea behind it? Um,
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: and again, the clarification isn't to say one way or
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: the other agreement. It's to bring the fact that this
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: was not a, like you said, nobody on the council
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: or in the city said, Hey, I've got this great idea.
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: Let's go do this. This is just following in line
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: with state regulations that you're required to do in that building.
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: sounds like meets the requirements if they wish to have one.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: And if I'm remembering right, I could be wrong, no
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: formal request for that drive-thru as of yet has been
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: made by Terabas?
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: That's true.
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: Okay. I couldn't remember. I thought so.
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: They contacted us about that availability. You know, were we
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: aware of the change in the statute? And so my
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: guess is... They probably, you know, and pure gas, so
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: I can't speak for them. They probably will put a
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: drive up in, but it's allowed by code, and the
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: hours are set by the state statute.
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yep. So, again, nothing to do with just one
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: personal initiation or other. You see those changes, wonder why.
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: Now you know. It's just any... Any municipality with one
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: of these dispensaries that has that is obligated to do
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: the same. And it's just doing your due diligence to say,
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: we comply. That's really all it is.
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: Yep. That's my understanding on that. I'm not the attorney, but....
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: I mean, and basically enough attorneys, please don't message me
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: to clarify. I'm just trying to give a little clarification. Yeah.
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: So there that is. Anything else you want to cover
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: this morning, Glenn?
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: You know, it's just a matter of we keep working
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: on development. We're continuing to address housing. in multiple arenas. Um,
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: we're looking at some ideas for home improvement funding. Um,
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: you know, we're looking, we're looking at, uh, ways to address, um, concerns,
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: you know, health and safety concerns on rental properties. Um,
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: We're looking at the affordable housing. We're looking at opening
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: up a general housing. I keep using the term workforce housing.
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: And workforce housing spans everybody from making $ 15 an hour
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: to $ 100 an hour, whatever you're talking about. So we're
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: looking at multiple avenues here. I know that Exite out
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: in the Gateway area is still looking at doing some
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: additional development with the lots that are available and looking
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: at beyond the Gateway development itself. As a city, the
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: 65 acres that we purchased last year, we're also looking
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: at both the retailing the retail business side as well
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: as the residential side in that 65 acres. We've had
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: a nice conversation with a, I'd call them a super regional,
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: maybe not a complete national brand, but I think they're
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: in 30 states with a restaurant that would be a
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: sit-down restaurant out there in that area of the 65 acres.
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: They've approved the city of Dixon for that, but they
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: still have to be able to package that, find a
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: franchisee who actually wants to develop here in Dixon. So
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: how soon that will happen one way or the other,
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: that I don't know, but it's more to let the
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: public know that We have a regular regimen of things
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: that we're looking at, continue looking at development out on
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: the north end of town, what can be done there.
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: We look at other options on the east and west side.
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: As the comprehensive plan went into, it's a matter of
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: looking at what our options are and what the potential
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: for development is. is in all sectors of the community.
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: I know the plan commission is taking the comprehensive plan
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: and kind of doing it. Looks like they're going to
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: be doing a deep dive into that to address things
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: like our housing codes. Is everything appropriate to meet the
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: goals that we've got? Are there things we need to change?
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: either in our code or our zoning to enhance the
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: ability for further housing. There's other things that they'll probably
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: be addressing down the line, but as I said, you know,
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: our highest priority right now outside of maintaining and improving
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: current infrastructure is that housing. So, You know, infrastructure is
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: always an ongoing thing. So, you know, that always stays
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: high on the, you know, high on the list, whether
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: it's the streets or the sidewalks, the water lines, sewer lines,
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: that stuff just has to be up there. And we
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: do a good job of looking at capital improvement planning,
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: not just one year at a time, but looking at
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: what we think we're going to have to be doing
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: the next four or five years down the road. So
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: that's a big piece.
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah. And you've always got to be looking ahead
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: to keep that growth going, to be looking for that opportunity.
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: And there's always so much more that goes on under
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: the hood when it comes to these decisions. It's never
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: as simple as somebody spouting off a good idea and saying,
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: why couldn't you put that there? Glenn, why didn't you
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: snag a TGI Fridays instead? Well, maybe sometimes that franchisee
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: didn't want to come here. It wasn't because Glenn's got
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: a different food palette than you. And that is just
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: a very simple example of why all all those keyboard
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: jockeys out there from sports worlds to city government, it's
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: always a lot more complicated than you think. And folks
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: like Glenn and the team over in Dixon are working
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: hard and always forward thinking and planning this kind of stuff.
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: And the best way you can do to stay informed
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: is attend a Dixon City Council meeting or have a
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: conversation with one of your local representatives.
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely. And you can even watch it online. You
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: don't have to You don't have to come to the
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: council meeting. We do have it online. You can go
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: to the homepage for the City of Dixon, and down
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: in the bottom lower right, there's a button to click
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: for Facebook. And you can click on that. That should
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: take you to the Facebook site. And, you know, it's
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: available when the meeting's coming up. It's also held there
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: for a period of time. We used to have quite
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: a bit of back meetings as well if you wanted
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: to go back and uh check information and i actually
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: did myself but i think uh relative to facebook i
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: think we were put we had too much going there
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: so they cut it they cut a lot of they
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: cut a lot of that out so um but that
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: the previous meetings will be there for an extended period
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: of time so.
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: There you go you can go back check them out
• 20:34
