Speaker 2: office last night. Just want to congratulate those gentlemen, and
1:50
Speaker 2: thank you for joining our team. Part of the part
1:54
Speaker 2: of the city, not just the police department, but the
1:58
Speaker 2: team as a whole city.
2:00
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's part of the city family. The law enforcement
2:03
Speaker 1: agency is part of the city family. And you know,
2:05
Speaker 1: obviously completing their work as well, I'm sure they had
2:09
Speaker 1: to take the necessary steps in order to.
2:11
Speaker 2: Uh oh yeah, yeah, they've yeah, they've got they've got
2:13
Speaker 2: a lot of preparatory work academies. Timothy Pratt's been with
2:20
Speaker 2: the police department. I'm gonna well he's been, he's been
2:26
Speaker 2: with us for a while. You don't get you don't
2:27
Speaker 2: get to be sergeant without not only got you know,
2:32
Speaker 2: not only having the experience, but having the trust of
2:35
Speaker 2: the others around you. So and Justin has been a
2:40
Speaker 2: Lee County Sheriff's deputy for a while. So it's it's nice.
2:48
Speaker 2: Oh inhering I think originally from Rochelle young Man. So
2:55
Speaker 2: it's just nice to have be able to fill our ranks.
3:00
Speaker 2: We've had some retirements. They're just general attrition, so we
3:07
Speaker 2: need to we need to fill things, fill things in. Uh,
3:11
Speaker 2: probably still need another officer to to, you know, to
3:15
Speaker 2: get to the level that we want to be at
3:18
Speaker 2: for But it was nice to to do those oaths
3:23
Speaker 2: of office. And the other thing I wanted to mention
3:28
Speaker 2: was the the the Chief Ryan Bivens presented a couple
3:35
Speaker 2: of awards he had and Deputy Chief Simonton went through
3:40
Speaker 2: a presentation. We had a couple of citizens Hayden Sweeten,
3:45
Speaker 2: Jeremy Hunter who helped to diffuse or sub uh handle
3:55
Speaker 2: a situation. An individual was running after or somebody else
4:00
Speaker 2: with a knife, and these two as private citizens, helped
4:08
Speaker 2: to get that situation under control and de escalated. And
4:14
Speaker 2: uh so, as as private citizens, they did an excellent
4:20
Speaker 2: job of dealing with the situation, helped to you know,
4:27
Speaker 2: just help to get things under control, the risk taken
4:31
Speaker 2: away and just generally de escalated. Okay, So that was
4:38
Speaker 2: that was nice for for Hayden Sweet and Jeremy Hunter.
4:41
Speaker 1: And they were recognized.
4:43
Speaker 2: Yes, they were, they were. They were presented with awards
4:47
Speaker 2: last night, plaques, challenge challenge coins, a couple other things.
4:54
Speaker 2: But that's that. That's always nice when you can recognize
5:00
Speaker 2: citizens like that, when when they've gone away above and
5:03
Speaker 2: beyond the responsibility. They could have. They could have simply
5:08
Speaker 2: just gotten on the phones and called called the situation in.
5:13
Speaker 2: They could have just done anything and so is so
5:17
Speaker 2: often happens, just gotten on their phones and taken videos
5:21
Speaker 2: of the situation. But they stepped in and did so appropriately.
5:28
Speaker 1: It all turned out well, is what. And all turned
5:30
Speaker 1: out well in that in that situation. That is the
5:33
Speaker 1: major thing that again, all turned out well in that situation. Obviously,
5:39
Speaker 1: you know, yeah, law enforcement always encourages mister Mayor, you
5:43
Speaker 1: know the fact that yeah, you see something like that brewing,
5:47
Speaker 1: immediately call law enforcement, immediately, get them involved. Don't hesitate,
5:51
Speaker 1: you know, if you see something like that happening, and
5:54
Speaker 1: really you know, taking it upon yourselves. But there's not
5:58
Speaker 1: time to think, you know, sometimes not time.
6:01
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, exactly, and.
6:03
Speaker 1: You need to move. There's not the time involved in
6:07
Speaker 1: making that decision. You just snap and you make that
6:10
Speaker 1: snap decision, and thank Heavens, everything worked out for the best. Yes, yes,
6:16
Speaker 1: so again a nice job by these two citizens and
6:20
Speaker 1: helping refuse, as Mayor said, a very touchy situation involving
6:25
Speaker 1: law enforcement. So they were honored again at the latest
6:27
Speaker 1: Dickson City Council meeting with some awards, and again congratulations
6:30
Speaker 1: to those officers taking the oath last night representing our
6:33
Speaker 1: Dixon Police Department. Mayor Glenn Hughes as our guest today,
6:36
Speaker 1: it's the Mayor's open line for September of twenty twenty five.
6:39
Speaker 1: Mayor wanted to turn our attention to again the Gateway
6:43
Speaker 1: project again. You wanted to talk about that today and
6:47
Speaker 1: some news that has come out of that area as
6:50
Speaker 1: far as redeveloping.
6:51
Speaker 2: Yep, yeah, you've heard me mention. For the last few months,
6:57
Speaker 2: we've talked about looking at another multi tenant building out there.
7:05
Speaker 2: Groundwork has already been done. We actually reached the redevelopment
7:09
Speaker 2: agreement on that property. We approved that last night, so
7:15
Speaker 2: that's definitely you know, without question, there's another building going
7:22
Speaker 2: up there, the redevelopment agreements in place. Additionally, City Manager
7:30
Speaker 2: Langloss announced that the Excite is actively dealing with somebody
7:39
Speaker 2: on the adjacent lot to that. Of course we've talked
7:42
Speaker 2: about the last month, we talked about the approval of
7:49
Speaker 2: McDonald's coming in between Chapolte and Cases. The other thing
7:55
Speaker 2: that was addressed on and redevelopment was not in that
7:58
Speaker 2: specific gateway project, but across the across the road, behind
8:05
Speaker 2: where the true is and in where the entrance to
8:09
Speaker 2: the tractor supply is, there is going to be another
8:14
Speaker 2: multi tenant building. This is predominantly a dental professional building.
8:23
Speaker 2: There will be exceptional dentistry, as I understand, will be
8:27
Speaker 2: going in there. Doctor King and o'donics will be going
8:32
Speaker 2: in there. My understanding is there will also be a
8:36
Speaker 2: pediatric dentist going in there, which from my understanding is
8:44
Speaker 2: a position that is well needed. There aren't there aren't
8:51
Speaker 2: a lot of dentists, uh that specialize in in that
8:56
Speaker 2: pediatric care, so by thing somebody mentioned that probably the
9:02
Speaker 2: closest one was almost an hour away, so it will
9:07
Speaker 2: bring their those positions, will be adding jobs as well
9:13
Speaker 2: as having the professional development. There will also be an
9:17
Speaker 2: insurance office going in there. And then I believe there's
9:22
Speaker 2: fifteen hundred twenty five hundred depending on how the layout finalizes,
9:27
Speaker 2: of additional square footage for another business to be able
9:32
Speaker 2: to go in there. So it was it's it's an improvement,
9:40
Speaker 2: you know in the medical services that come to this community.
9:46
Speaker 2: Because the other thing is Exceptional Dentistry will be moving
9:51
Speaker 2: out of their building. But one of the other dental specialists,
9:58
Speaker 2: I believe it's feather Stone, will be moving. They're they're
10:03
Speaker 2: in on North Galina, but they're expanding their operation and
10:08
Speaker 2: moving in to the Exceptional Dentistry building. So we're not
10:14
Speaker 2: going to have a big open space, you know, big
10:17
Speaker 2: vacant building on North Britain. So we're just making some
10:23
Speaker 2: shifts and expansions of you know, we're adding, we're adding workers,
10:30
Speaker 2: we're adding you know, people doing business here in in Dixon.
10:36
Speaker 2: And so that'll be a that'll be a positive move, which.
10:39
Speaker 1: Is which is nice to see.
10:41
Speaker 2: You know.
10:41
Speaker 1: It's it's not always the retail area, or the food
10:46
Speaker 1: service area, or the overnight area, the hotels and motels
10:50
Speaker 1: that we look at as far as developing these projects.
10:54
Speaker 1: It's also the medical and business side. You have to
10:57
Speaker 1: look at that. And and this is what this is
11:00
Speaker 1: going to be pretty well taken care of with medicine,
11:04
Speaker 1: with medical with insurance, as Mayor mentioned. So it's not
11:08
Speaker 1: just you know that we're all familiar with the you know,
11:11
Speaker 1: stores that we're able to go into and shop into,
11:13
Speaker 1: but these are necessary, these are necessary offices.
11:16
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, and providing providing excellent services, you know, needed
11:22
Speaker 2: services in the community. So and obviously this is radio.
11:26
Speaker 2: So I can't show you a picture of what the
11:28
Speaker 2: new building looks like, but I have I have seen
11:31
Speaker 2: the I have seen the diagrams and the new building.
11:34
Speaker 2: It will be a very attractive building as well.
11:37
Speaker 1: Right, and this will be over next to the again
11:39
Speaker 1: the true establishment again the tractor supply area of again
11:45
Speaker 1: off just off of South Galina Avenue to the east
11:49
Speaker 1: again of South Carolina.
11:51
Speaker 2: Then in the off off of Bloody off that area
11:54
Speaker 2: from Bloody gulfing very good.
11:55
Speaker 1: So again development boy continues the pace in that South
11:59
Speaker 1: Dixon area. Not only do we see the construction going
12:02
Speaker 1: on of that multi tenant establishment again that's going up.
12:05
Speaker 1: That's going to be a neat complex and that's going
12:08
Speaker 1: to feature some businesses and some other I understand some
12:11
Speaker 1: other medical activity going on in that area. Again right
12:16
Speaker 1: next to the car wash. That area that's going to
12:18
Speaker 1: be you know, developed into a nice string of businesses
12:21
Speaker 1: in that area. But again across Billion, I got to
12:24
Speaker 1: think about all these areas. There's just not that you know,
12:27
Speaker 1: single area of the Gateway that that's being improved well.
12:32
Speaker 2: And just stepping back there too, it's not just Gateway
12:36
Speaker 2: on the on the north side, RP Lumber is up
12:40
Speaker 2: and active and you know, and I've been in that
12:43
Speaker 2: store and they've got a nice facility there. We've also
12:48
Speaker 2: got some other businesses that are building out in the
12:52
Speaker 2: Liberty Court area. So there continues to be improvement on
12:59
Speaker 2: that north side as well. Probably not as flashy as
13:03
Speaker 2: showy because you know on that inner that interstate area
13:11
Speaker 2: it's happening so fast, but it's still happening on the
13:15
Speaker 2: north side too. Absolutely, and uh, we'll continue to look
13:19
Speaker 2: at opportunities in all four quadrants of the city for
13:25
Speaker 2: for improvement, for growth. You know, on the improvement side,
13:29
Speaker 2: obviously this the streets are being worked on, We've got
13:33
Speaker 2: we've got funding that you know, we've we've started allocating
13:36
Speaker 2: funds for sidewalks. The whole thing, the whole community is
13:42
Speaker 2: is showing signs of improvement. But I have to I
13:47
Speaker 2: have to step back again, and you know, this is
13:51
Speaker 2: this is not just about you know, what's happening under
13:55
Speaker 2: my regime. This all took a lot of this is this,
14:00
Speaker 2: this is all took a lot of preparation and time.
14:02
Speaker 2: And you know, I keep reminding people that the Gateway
14:08
Speaker 2: project didn't just happen. It's been you know, we've been
14:13
Speaker 2: making efforts on this for twenty twenty five years.
14:17
Speaker 1: So seeing it come around, yeah, you come around. It's
14:21
Speaker 1: the Mayor's open line, today's open line. And again our
14:24
Speaker 1: phone lines are eight one five, two eight, eight three
14:25
Speaker 1: three four one eight one five six two six three
14:27
Speaker 1: zero nine one. Need to cake take a break for
14:29
Speaker 1: news first at the bottom of the hour, but when
14:31
Speaker 1: we come back, a couple of other activities that we're
14:33
Speaker 1: going to talk about in cooing is some special news
14:35
Speaker 1: that we're going to pass along with the Mayor today
14:36
Speaker 1: on wix with our edition of the Mayor's Open Line.
14:39
Speaker 1: This is the September twenty twenty five edition of the
14:41
Speaker 1: Mayor's Open Line, and the Honorable Mayor of the City
14:43
Speaker 1: of Dixon, Mayor Glenn Hughes is alongside yours TRULYE Steve
14:46

Speaker 1: Well, it's always a pleasure having you on board. Mayor.
14:56
Speaker 1: We're going to start this segment of our open Line
14:59
Speaker 1: today with some special news that I shared with the
15:01
Speaker 1: Mayor a couple of minutes ago. I didn't want to
15:03
Speaker 1: catch him off guard during his open line time, but
15:05
Speaker 1: I thought it was appropriate that we talk about this
15:09
Speaker 1: during our chat because the Mayor and I have been
15:12
Speaker 1: chatting since he took office, and I've been enjoying my
15:15
Speaker 1: time with the Mayor of the City of Dixon for
15:18
Speaker 1: his open lines and for his news and information since
15:21
Speaker 1: he took office again as our Dixon City mayor. But Mayor,
15:27
Speaker 1: I wanted to make a special announcement myself today during
15:30
Speaker 1: open line time, and I hope you don't mind.
15:32
Speaker 2: I do not, well, he does, Yeah, I don't mind.
15:37
Speaker 2: I don't mind that you're taking up the open line time.
15:40
Speaker 2: I do mind what you're about to announce that I.
15:44
Speaker 1: Will be leaving my post here at wix and Radio.
15:49
Speaker 1: I am going to retire in a few weeks at
15:51
Speaker 1: the end of October. I have set my sights on
15:54
Speaker 1: the end of October as bringing a climax and an
15:56
Speaker 1: end to my tenure. I just passed my August birthday,
16:01
Speaker 1: or I should say my August anniversary of forty five
16:03
Speaker 1: years here, and I thought, well, after that, you know,
16:07
Speaker 1: it's time to start thinking about things in the future.
16:11
Speaker 1: And you know, I've had a very interesting year. We've
16:14
Speaker 1: talked about that off air, and it just comes a
16:17
Speaker 1: time where you think about it a little bit further
16:20
Speaker 1: and you have a you know, family and expectations and
16:26
Speaker 1: things moving ahead in retirement time. And I just thought that,
16:29
Speaker 1: you know, heading out on a positive, healthy note. And
16:33
Speaker 1: you and I talked about that.
16:34
Speaker 2: Yep, yep, being you know, if you've got the wherewithal,
16:39
Speaker 2: you know, to take advantage of things that you've wanted
16:42
Speaker 2: to do after you retire. You know, you're moving on
16:46
Speaker 2: sixty eight years old. You know a lot of people
16:49
Speaker 2: bail out at sixty two, you know, sixty five. But
16:53
Speaker 2: when you enjoy your job, it's a tough, tough decision,
16:57
Speaker 2: too tough to decide when you're gonna to quit. And
17:04
Speaker 2: as you and I talked, being healthy and being able
17:08
Speaker 2: to take a advantage of things that you want to
17:10
Speaker 2: do is a key piece I'm going to add in here.
17:14
Speaker 2: You've talked about that. We've been having discussions and it
17:18
Speaker 2: has been on a regular monthly basis since I took office,
17:21
Speaker 2: But you and I have been talking for probably probably
17:26
Speaker 2: thirty years, you know, when I've been involved with different
17:30
Speaker 2: not for profits, United Way, Kasa, We've we've done interviews
17:37
Speaker 2: and talks about about those types of things, you know,
17:42
Speaker 2: so and you and I have known each other's many
17:46
Speaker 2: many outside even outside of the outside of the radio positions.
17:51
Speaker 2: So I am sad to see you go for the
17:56
Speaker 2: sake of the radio and the community and your participation.
18:00
Speaker 2: And I'm happy for you that you've decided to pull
18:06
Speaker 2: the trigger. And you know, with with grandkids and you
18:10
Speaker 2: and Barb being able to you know, to do things
18:13
Speaker 2: that you want to do and be flexible, you know,
18:17
Speaker 2: and in getting around to the kids and the grand
18:20
Speaker 2: kids that that's going to be important.
18:22
Speaker 1: Absolutely, our family is here. We're not going anywhere, by
18:26
Speaker 1: the way, We're not We're not leaving the area. We're
18:28
Speaker 1: going to stay right here. But I'm glad Mayor brought
18:32
Speaker 1: this up. You know, the family important. It's always important
18:35
Speaker 1: when you when you think about this. But it's uh, yeah,
18:38
Speaker 1: it's bittersweet when you know you've you've you know, I
18:42
Speaker 1: guess uh tended to your business for such a long
18:46
Speaker 1: time and uh and are enjoying it still uh to
18:49
Speaker 1: uh to kind of you know, have to give it up.
18:52
Speaker 1: But yeah, it there comes a time where you know,
18:57
Speaker 1: you you make plans and you you step forward and
19:01
Speaker 1: I hope, uh you know, in my in my past,
19:04

19:09
Speaker 1: able to uh you know, deliver what you know the
19:12
Speaker 1: community needed, you know, at their times and uh and
19:16

19:21
Speaker 1: things will move along nicely after I'm uh after I'm
19:25
Speaker 1: i I've completed my tenure. But uh uh I just
19:28
Speaker 1: wanted to make the announcement today because I thought it
19:31
Speaker 1: was fitting you know, during our time that and I
19:34
Speaker 1: thought the Mayor was going to do more of the
19:35
Speaker 1: interviewing now to me than.

Speaker 2: Oh wait wait until next month. Wait still wait till
19:43
Speaker 2: we still.

Speaker 1: it's Halloween. Uh that is going to be probably my
19:53
Speaker 1: final day uh here on the radio. So uh, you know,
19:56

Speaker 1: But it's been a fine run. And I've enjoyed every
20:03
Speaker 1: minute of it. I've enjoyed, you know, delivering what needed
20:06
Speaker 1: to be delivered and having fun doing it and all

20:40
Speaker 1: a couple of other quick hits with the mayor this
20:42
Speaker 1: morning before we let him go, uh, and a couple
20:44
Speaker 1: of activities coming up on the calendar include the city market.
20:49
Speaker 1: You wanted to mention this market.
20:50
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, I was remissed last night and not mentioning

20:56
Speaker 2: to make sure I mentioned it. Today is tomorrow night,
21:02
Speaker 2: the pop up city market. This is Discovered Dixon, Dixon
21:09
Speaker 2: Chamber and Main Street has tried. Is kind of added
21:14
Speaker 2: one because of the multiple weather related cancellations that we had,
21:22
Speaker 2: so they kind of picked the middle of September and

Speaker 2: they're having They're having a city market tomorrow night, the
21:30

21:39
Speaker 2: you know, see posts on Facebook or or the or
21:43
Speaker 2: the Discovered Dixon site. In addition talking about the positive
21:48
Speaker 2: things that are happening in the community, I wanted to
21:52
Speaker 2: also note that there was an article that came out
21:55
Speaker 2: in a national magazine. It's called Islands. Seems like any
22:00
Speaker 2: one to be referencing the city of Dixon in but
22:06
Speaker 2: actually this Islands magazine deals with community destinations for people.
22:14
Speaker 2: It has articles relative to places for retirees just general.
22:21
Speaker 2: But the article says, this underrated Illinois town is a
22:26
Speaker 2: top retirement pick thanks to its trails, festivals, and affordable
22:31
Speaker 2: homes and goes through quite a bit history, culture, charm,
22:38
Speaker 2: and affordability at Dixon, Illinois is another heading that it
22:41
Speaker 2: has through its articles, so you know, and then it
22:46
Speaker 2: talks about what retirees can expect to pay when settling
22:50
Speaker 2: in Dixon. It's it's just a very positive about the
22:54
Speaker 2: amenities that the community provides. It talks about the history,
23:00
Speaker 2: the culture, even the advantage of the the hospital system
23:08
Speaker 2: here within the community. So though it's, uh, it's aimed
23:13
Speaker 2: at it's aimed at retirees. But the article, but the
23:21
Speaker 2: article is as a whole, talks about a lot of
23:24
Speaker 2: the positive things that the city has going for it.
23:28
Speaker 1: So that's great.
23:30
Speaker 2: We really we really appreciate, you know, that opportunity. None
23:36
Speaker 2: of us were aware of it until it popped up.
23:38
Speaker 2: So this was not this was not like a paid
23:42
Speaker 2: promotional advertisement in a in a magazine. This was this
23:46
Speaker 2: was just an article that came up that reference Dixon, Illinois.
23:50
