Old Business
– none
New Business
Ms. Barksdale-Noble said the City currently has over 100 Letters of Credit from various
projects in various stages. She and Mr. Sanderson are in the process of trying to address
the unfinished subdivisions. She referred to the memo she had written which details how
the City secures bonds and how letters of credit are used to secure infrastructure during
development. After reviewing the current ordinance, she said contradictions were found
and staff is trying to develop a method of tracking the letters of credits and bonds more
efficiently. Commissioner Prochaska said he was glad to see the City is streamlining the
procedures.
A motion was made by Mr. Prochaska as follows: In consideration of testimony
presented during a Public Hearing on August 8, 2012 and discussions conducted at that
meeting, the Plan Commission recommends approval to the City Council of a request for
text amendment to Title 11, Chapter 5 Required Improvements of the Municipal
Subdivision Control Ordinance related to processes and procedures for subdivision
securities including deadlines for completion of certain public subdivision improvements,
developer acknowledgement of the public improvement completion schedule, increasing
the contingency amount of subdivision securities and establishing procedures for the
reduction and release of subdivision securities, as presented by staff in a memorandum
dated August 1, 2012. Mr. Jones seconded this motion.
Roll call: Jones-yes, Baker-yes, Prochaska-yes, Crouch-yes, Winninger-yes, Lindblom-
yes. Passed 6-0.
Additional Business
As liaison for the Rt. 47 construction project, Mr. Sanderson gave an update. Private
utility companies, including AT&T, have been on-site and are expected to complete their
work this week, however, the general contractor is not moving forward until all utility
work is finished. He will start at the river and work south. The contractor has a certain
number of days in which to complete the project and they do not wish to start until all
utilities are moved.
Chairman Lindblom questioned the hole in front of Cobblestone Bakery. Work is being
done on underground utilities and is separate from the Rt. 47 project.
Commissioner Jones asked if there are any penalties if utilities take too long to complete
their work Mr. Sanderson said there are no penalties and the City must also work with
the ICC. Mr. Crouch asked if the project will take an additional year since it is already
August and the work has not begun. Mr. Sanderson noted that with fall coming, the
contractor does not want to start work they cannot finish before winter. Mr. Sanderson
said the contractor originally wanted to start in June and it would have been a 2.5-year
project. After the AT&T work is done, a new schedule is expected.
2
A River Road bridge update was requested by Chairman Lindblom. Brad Sanderson
also commented on this and said there have been issues with ComEd not having moved
power poles. A commitment is anticipated this week and it’s hoped work might begin
early in September.
Adjournment
There was no further business and Chairman Lindblom entertained a motion for
adjournment. So moved by Jones and seconded by Prochaska with voice vote approval.
Meeting adjourned at 7:12pm.
