YORKVILLE'S MOTION IN LIMINE # 7
Pursuant to the Hearing Officer's Order of March 23, 2009 and 35 Ill. Admin. Code ยง
10 1.610, Respondent, the United City of Yorkville, City Council ("Yorkville"), by and through its
attorneys, moves the Hearing
Officer in limine to exclude from the hearing on this matter any use of
the pleadings Fox Moraine has identified in its Exhibit List Nos. 15-19. In support of its motion,
Yorkville states the following:
1.
Fox Moraine has listed as exhibits all pleadings from two other Pollution Control
Board cases and three lawsuits. Four
of these five matters involve Yorkville as one party and Fox
Moraine or entities affiliated with Fox Moraine or Fox Moraine's principals as the other party.
Yorkville
is not even a party in the other matter:
PCB 08-95,
City o/Yorkville
v.
IEPA and Hamman Farms
(Fox Moraine mistakenly listed
this
as 07-95 in its Exhibit List), filed on June 4,2008;
PCB
08-96,
City o/Yorkville
v.
Hamman Farms,
filed on June 4, 2008;
Kendall County 2007-0V-43,
City o/Yorkville
v.
Hamman,
filed on September 5, 2007;
Kendall County 2008-L-68,
City o/Yorkville
v.
Fox Moraine, LLC,
filed on October 3,
2008; and
Kendall County 2008-CH-811,
State 0/ Illinois
v.
Hamman Farms,
filed on September 17,
2008.
Electronic Filing - Received, Clerk's Office, April 6, 2009
2.
In discovery and at the five depositions of Fox Moraine personnel, Yorkville
repeatedly asked Fox Moraine to produce all documents in support
of its appeal. The only
documents Fox Moraine has produced are approximately one hundred pages
of newspaper articles
and one e-mail. Nor has Fox Moraine supplemented its document production since its initial
response to Yorkville's document requests.
3.
The pleadings identified by Fox Moraine have no relevance to this appeal (nor has
Fox Moraine at any point in this proceeding attempted to establish
or at all hint at their relevance).
Yorkville held hearings on Fox Moraine's landfill application in March and April
2007 and voted
on the application
on May 24, 2007. All five proceedings identified by Fox Moraine were not even
initiated until well after the May 24,
2007 vote. Four of them were not even initiated until some
time in
2008.
WHEREFORE,
Yorkville respectfully requests that the Hearing Officer bar any use of the
pleadings Fox Moraine has identified in its Exhibit List Nos. 15-19.
