In order for the city to continue to participate in the National Flood Insurance Program(NFIP),we need to adopt the attached ordinance which recognizes the new mapping. Please refer to the attached letter from the Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR). The attached ordinance is very similar to our existing ordinance. The changes recommended by the IDNR have been highlighted in yellow. Three other changes not specifically recommended by IDNR are highlighted in blue. Those three changes add reference to the Middle Branch of the Aux Sable Creek, adopt the draft EEI flood study of Rob Roy Creek until it is formally approved by FEMA, and clarify how floodplain dedicated to the city is treated with respect to developer park land donations. I recommend that this ordinance be adopted. Please place this item on the September 16, 2008 Public Works Committee agenda for consideration. Illinois Department of U Natural Resources Rod R. Blagojevich, Governor One Natural Resources way • Springfield, Illinois 62702-1271 Sam Flood, Acting Director http://dnr.state.il.us August 11 , 2008 Ms. Valerie Burd Mayor City of Yorkville 800 Game Farm Road Yorkville, IL 60560 Dear Mayor Burd, New countywide floodplain maps have been produced for Kendall County. These maps include the City of Yorkville. The maps will become effective on February 04, 2009. If your community participates in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP); these new maps must be adopted with the Flood Insurance Study in your local floodplain ordinance. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has recently advised your community to update the floodplain ordinance prior to February 04, 2009. It is imperative that this is done in the months before the effective date. The overwhelming majority of NFIP communities in the State of Illinois have adopted the State Model Floodplain Ordinance. The new State Model Floodplain Ordinance is likely similar to your current floodplain ordinance. Therefore, I strongly recommend that you simply rescind you current ordinance and adopt the new state model. In order to simplify this process you may find this ordinance at IDNR webpage: http://dnr.state.il .us/Flood/model .htm. I can also email or send the ordinance if you request one. If you fail to update the ordinance prior to February 04, 2009, your community will be suspended from the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). Suspension from the NFIP will result in the inability to obtain flood insurance, some types of disaster assistance, as well as state and federal grants and loans. Please contact me if you have any questions or if you would like any additional information about the floodplain maps and ordinance. I can be reached at (217) 782-0690 or at Annette.Bunis@lllinois.gov. 3 Res ctfully, Annette K.

This change order, in the amount of a$2,935.86 increase, is the final balancing change order for the project. While the net change is relatively small,there were several work items that varied from the original estimated amounts. Larger reductions were realized by reducing the quantities for aggregate base repair,prime coat, and by having the Public Works Department adjust one manhole rim instead of the contractor. The roadway base in the bulb of Palmer Court was softer than in other areas. We decided to thicken the asphalt in this area rather than undercutting the subgrade,resulting in additional binder and surface material. I recommend that this change order be approved.

The parkways were seeded and protected with an erosion control blanket late in the year,but very little grass germinated before winter. This past spring most of the parkway landscaping was successfully established. Many areas, however, did not grow grass for various reasons. Those reasons included damage by snow plowing,parking along the roadway,residents unintentionally damaging the grass by removing the blanket before the grass was established, and areas that were not landscaped properly the previous fall. We met with the landscape contractor to discuss this matter, and determined that most of the reasons that grass didn't grow in certain areas was beyond his control. The landscape contractor performed touch-up work for all of these areas,but due to the size and location of the repairs it required a lot of hand labor. After much discussion and debate with the landscape contractor, we have reached a tentative agreement regarding the cost of re-landscaping those areas that were damaged by others. That cost is $24,062.67, as detailed on the attached invoice. This work was performed on a time and material basis and would be paid directly to the landscape contractor,thereby avoiding the normal mark-up by the general contractor. I recommend that Invoice No.2624 from 4 Seasons Landscaping in the amount of$24,062.67 be approved.

There is a section of Van Emmon about 100 feet long at the intersection with Benjamin Street(the entrance road into the development)that still needs to be paved. The developer has indicated to us that this section of road will be paved before winter. He is currently negotiating with his contractors regarding payment for work already performed. The contractors have indicated that they will not perform additional work until they receive payment for the work they have already done. We have told the developer that we expect the roadway to be paved by mid-October. If that does not occur,we may need to access funds from the development's letter of credit and arrange for the paving work ourselves. The letter of credit lists six conditions that may be considered as a default by the developer. Those conditions are: 1. That said Letter of Credit will expire within thirty(30) days and has not been renewed; or 2. That the aforesaid improvements have not been completed by the subdivider at least thirty(30) days prior to the aforesaid expiration date; or 3. That the owner and/or subdivider has failed to complete or carry on the work of the installation and construction of the required improvements in accordance with the schedule, or at a faster pace if the installation of the private improvements shall be completed before public improvements to service them are available; or 4. That the City of Yorkville has determined that the owner and/or subdivider has demonstrated that they will be unable to complete the improvement; or 5. That the City of Yorkville has determined that the public improvements or other improvements covered by this commitment have been or are likely to be the subject of liens or other claims by contractors, subcontractors or third parties; or 6. That if more funds are disbursed at this time on order of the owner and/or subdivider insufficient funds will remain irrevocably committed to guarantee the completion of all improvements, and such certification indicates that the owner and/or subdivider has been notified that the municipality finds that a breach of the owner's and/or subdivider's obligations has occurred and has not been cured within a period of thirty(30) days. I recommend that the City Clerk be authorized to call Castle Bank Letter of Credit #3000221071 -901 for Kendallwood Estates if the paving work on Van Emmon Road at Benjamin Street is not complete by October 17, 2008.

Memorandum J= °' O� EST. $ is To: Brendan McLaughlin, City A minisno From: Joe Wywrot, City Engineer CC: Lisa Pickering, Deputy City e k &E Date: September 4, 2008 Subject: Greenbriar Subdivision—Lot 200 Sidewalk Easement The Greenbriar Unit 4 plat of subdivision created a sidewalk easement across Lot 200 (1402 Walsh Drive)for a potential future sidewalk to the Prairie Gardens subdivision. Last year a home was constructed on Lot 200, and the new homeowner requested that the easement be moved to be further away from their new home. Easement documents were prepared to create the new easement and vacate the old easement. During the time it took to prepare those documents,the Prairie Gardens Homeowner's Association and several other neighbors became aware of the issue and requested that the sidewalk easement be vacated and not replaced. Since vacation of the Greenbriar sidewalk easement would affect the use of the proposed trail system in that area,this issue was placed on the Park Board agenda of April 12,2007 for discussion. The consensus of the Park Board was to keep the trail easements. This issue was discussed at the Committee of the Whole at their meetings on March 20th and April 18th, 2007. The Committee decided to not vacate the easement. The sidewalk easement remained in its original location. Recently I got a call from Mike Knoll,the homeowner at 1402 Walsh Drive about survey marks he had noticed near his rear property line. Mr. Knoll was concerned that the sidewalk was about to be constructed. I told him that this was not the case,but that the easement was never vacated and therefore a sidewalk could be constructed in the future. Mr. Knoll then asked if the City would reconsider his original request to relocate the easement to give further separation from his house. Consequently,we have prepared the attached easement agreement that vacates the old sidewalk easement and creates a new sidewalk easement across his property further from his house.

Multi-year projects are listed with their total cost only in the year they are scheduled to begin,unless they will be constructed as separate,phased projects. All project costs are for construction and related construction engineering unless indicated otherwise. Debt service for past projects is not listed. Some projects scheduled for developer funding may be delayed due to the lack of funding. Costs for ongoing and imminent project were updated based on best available information. Park-related projects are not listed. Proposed major updates to last year's approved plan are as follows: General • The purpose of listing projects for the current 2008-2009 fiscal year is to give a realistic view of what we are capable of funding on our own. The Capital Improvement Program for future fiscal years is aggressive, and depends largely on developer funding and some borrowing. • Various projects were moved up or back a year or two based on available funding or on the progress of our overall water, sanitary sewer, and roadway programs. Water • No new projects. • The Rt.34/Eldamain PRV Station project has been removed;this facility was changed to consist of a simple valve and will be operated manually on an as-needed basis. Sanitar • Design and construction of a sanitary sewer across the Zangler property was added in FY 09-10. This is a time sensitive project that needs to be constructed prior to expiration of easement rights. Streets • Fox Road(Rt.47-Poplar)was moved to FY 09-10 and the funding was revised based on approval of this project by the Kane/Kendall Council of Mayors. • The River Road Bridge project was moved up to begin engineering in FY 09-10,with construction in FY 11-12. We need to begin now on replacing this inherited bridge. We are applying again this fall for 80%funding from IDOT's Major Bridge Replacement Program. • A miscellaneous street patching project was added to FY 09-10 and following alternate fiscal years. • A miscellaneous guardrail repair project was added to FY 09-10. • We removed streetlighting and parkway tree landscaping from the Game Farm/Somonauk plans because IDOT would require a much more intense streetlighting design than we wanted, and because we can plant trees ourselves more economically. Consequently, a streetlight design/construction project has been added over a two year timeframe to coincide with the roadway construction. • Design and construction of a permanent traffic signal at the Rt.34/Sycamore intersection was added over the next two fiscal years, in case the Rob Roy Falls developer does not construct the signal prior to the May 2010 IDOT deadline for removing the temporary traffic signals. • Rehabilitation of streets in the Wildwood Subdivision (Phase I and Phase 2) was added in FY 12- 13 and FY 13-14. • Rehabilitation of Freemont Street (Spring-Walnut) and Somonauk Street (Liberty- McHugh) was added as a single project in FY 13- 14. Miscellaneous • Construction of the Rt.34 bike trail along the Kendall County Campus frontage was added in FY 09-10. • Construction of the Public Works/Parks facility was deleted due to the recent acquisition in the Fox Industrial Park. Construction of a salt dome was added in FY 11 -12. • A parkway tree project has been added in FY 11 -12 for the Game Farm/Somonauk project, which is the year following roadway construction. • Annual projects to fund the burying of utility poles were deleted.

Submitted by: Brendan McLaughlin Administration Name Department Agenda Item Notes: �VoV Cl Memorandum �'i� :J:1_� T To: Mayor Burd and City Council 836 From: Brendan McLaughlin, City Administrator p A-1;1 Date: August 29, 2008 pl E Wy`2� Subject: Eldamain Road —County Request As a follow up to the conversations I have had with many of you this week. On Thursday afternoon I attended a meeting called by Fran Klaas and Bob Davidson. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss the county's plans to improve Eldamain Road to an 80,000 pound roadway north of Menards. The county intends to accomplish this in phases. The first phase is slated for 2010 and would take the improvements up to Corneils Road. The next phase would go up to Galena tentatively slated for 2011 or 2012. For now, the County wanted to coordinate funding with Plano and Yorkville for the first phase of the improvements. They project the costs to be $2,000,000 for phase one. This amount is only for the through lanes. If a developer wanted turn lanes or deceleration lanes, they would have to pay for those themselves through whichever city they are in. The county does not want to be working directly with any developers. They discussed splitting the $2,000,000 three ways. The county would be willing to front the money and have the two cities pay them back over time. Mayor Roberts has pledged up to $200,000 per year for five years. The extra monies would be for any turn lanes they needed to serve development on their side. Mayor Roberts indicated that we should work to get these improvements done and they can be independent of any obligations listed in the boundary agreement. In that agreement, Yorkville commits to invest an equal amount in roadway improvements as Plano did when Menards was being developed. I view this as a major concession. For Yorkville, they are requesting our third of the costs, projected to be $666,666.66, be paid off over five years. This would be $133,333.33 per year. The City has annexed the Lincoln Prairie property which abuts this first phase. The developer is obligated to improve the road at the time the adjacent property develops. There may be an ability to get the developer to pre-pay and avoid this obligation. (If this deal was not in place, the developer would have to pay fifty percent of the improvement costs and place recapture on the Plano side for the other fifty percent.)There may also be an ability for the City to pay to have the work done and place a recapture on the Lincoln Prairie property. I will check with the attorney to see if the agreements would allow for this. The next step is to place this item on the Public Works Committee agenda for discussion. Please feel free to call me to discuss your thoughts on this proposal. JOINTLY PREPARED BY : THOMAS W .

Van Emmon Street. Council Action Previously Taken: Date of Action: Action Taken: Item Number: Type of Vote Required: None Council Action Requested: Direction regarding a course of action for this issue. Submitted by: Joe Wywrot Engineering Name Department Agenda Item Notes: J�♦��D C,T yT Memorandum MT.. 1836 To: Brendan McLaughlin, CiTy dministra r [v y From: Joe Wywrot, City Engineer CC: Lisa Pickering, Deputy City rlc <<Ec �� Date: September 10, 2008 Subject: Van Emmon Drainage Issue At the July 15th Public Works Committee,the issue of water entering some homes on E. Van Emmon Street was discussed. Previously the city had obtained quotations from well drillers to set several groundwater monitoring wells along Van Emmon and the Commonwealth Edison right-of-way to see how groundwater elevations change over time and with changing weather. The consensus of the committee was to not proceed with the monitoring wells because we do not have groundwater elevation data prior to the construction of the Com Ed Interceptor. That information would be needed to compare with current elevations and determine if construction of the interceptor has changed the groundwater elevations along Van Emmon. The committee asked for a copy of the log we have been keeping since May 2008 for rainfall and water in basements in this area. Attached find that information. It appears that rainfall of 0.7" or less results in little to no water entering any of the basements. In the late 1990's we conducted groundwater monitoring west of Cannonball Trail between Route 34 and Faxon Road over a two-year timeframe. This area has very sandy soil, and therefore has a relatively high ability to accept stormwater and have rapidly fluctuating groundwater elevations. We checked the groundwater elevation at regular intervals and initially after every rainfall. We found that groundwater elevations did not vary due to individual rainfall events. The groundwater elevation would jump up about 2 feet around December-January, and then slowly go down 2 feet over the rest of the year.Based on this past experience,that residents are not getting water when it doesn't rain, and that the soils along Van Emmon are not sandy and therefore don't allow water to pass easily, it would appear that the water entering the basements along Van Emmon is not groundwater but is stormwater entering along foundation walls. Residents are continuing to get water in their basements, even after the drainage ditches along Van Emmon have been fully re-established and the roadway paved, therefore it would appear that the recent watermain construction along Van Emmon did not have a significant impact on water in their basements. Today Joe Besco, Eric Dhuse,you and I met with the resident at 315 E. Van Emmon to discuss their basement drainage issue. During an inspection of the basement,the resident explained how most of the water enters at the SE corner. Afterwards we went outside and Joe Besco brought to our attention that a downspout at the SE corner discharged at a point within inches of the foundation wall. We advised the resident to re-direct the downspout away from the foundation, and also to re-grade that area to slope away from the foundation wall. It is very possible that these simple actions will go a long way towards easing their drainage problems. Please place this item on the September 16, 2008 Public Works Committee agenda for discussion. LOG FOR 315, 33% AND 341 VANEMMON WATER IN BASEMENTS MAY 112008 MOTHER DAY 21N RAIN It rained through the night and at 10:00 am it had rained-tin, Checking VanEmmon rd the water did not cross center line to the north and dump on private lots the new ditch created by city crews on the south side of road is working by running all water to the east. This was checked at 10:00am on May 11 The water going through the twin 60in culverts was up about 1 .5ft from normal flow. On this date was the first time the entire trench is taped of with 6in binder meaning most ofthe entry for water to fill'waterman trench iscaped off.- qqi Greg; Susan Lampke 339 E. VanEmmon 630-553 Took one picture in basement where the water was pushing the paint off the brick walls that has several layers of paint on that water never pushed of in the past, Most of the water seeping in was on the south wall some on the west wall. The carpeting at the bottom of the steps was soaked. Several places mold is growing on the walls. Horne owner Greg thought the water leaking in to his basement is worse after city installed French:drain from water main to creek. 341 VanEmmon I took one picture at bottem of step where the water was about l in deep home owner said water was 5indeep most of the water is seeping in the south wall Julie Cinnamon 315 E.

VanEmmon and they said no leaking in basement from this rain we talked about no water is coming across centerline when it rains now that the city re-ditched on south side of road. That when the basement leaks it comes in south and east walls mostly. Home owner said when the basement is leaking he vacuums up 30 or 40 gallons of water. Home owner is concerned about damage to his foundation now that water is exposed to the walls. Lambke via phone call they could not tell if water leaked in to basement because it is still wet from the rain on May 11 , 2008 Susan and Greg thought it probably did not leak but can not tell due to the existing dampness. Because no apparent water leaking in to both basements I did not enter there basements to take any pictures. May 27, 2008 This is the next measurable rain fall since May 14, 2008. This morning I checked rain gage and had 0.7 in of rain and it was after a three day weekend [Memorial Day]. I called Julie Cinnamon after 8:00 AM asked her about water in basement over the weekend. She said there was no leaking in the basement. Julie thought the leaking may have stopped because the ground is drying out not as saturated as it was earlier in the spring. I called Susan Lambke and asked her about water leaking in the basement over the weekend and she said no water leaked in the basement over the weekend. I made this call right after talking with Julie Cinnamon about 8:10 AM. Because no water was leaking in to both basements no pictures were taken . Friday May 30 2008 By 3 :00 PM it rained 0.30 in. I dumped rain gage and it did not rain again Saturday or Sunday. About 12:30 PM June 2, 2008 I saw Mr. Cinnamon of 315 E. Van Emmon sitting on his front step having a smoke so I stopped to ask about water in the basement from the rain last Friday and his answer was no water in the basement from that rain. We talked about the rain coming tomorrow and if it is a tin plus and there is no leaking maybe the new ditch across the road is the solution to his problem. About 12:45 June 2, 2008 I stopped into visit with Sue and Greg Lambke because Sue called our office about construction work going on in the lot next door the landscape contractor's lot. I talked to the crew working inside the fence and they were digging a small swale to intercept all water sheet draining across this lot to run it to the rail road right way. There for no water should ever run on to the Lambke lot. I also asked about the rain we got last Friday and if there was any water leaking in the basement and no water leaked in to there basement. We talked about there visit with the mayor tomorrow and if we get a big rain fall tomorrow what it will bring with the improvements maid on the site. e lee ell lie, Ae e t leell 1 y4 ) ell 11 eel" 1 We PF el el le 'Gt v g } el —ell I ee? .a 4 '�< me .. ell Y, `xvk i � a : 7 , aI Fes- x .� ele 2s t st } tr + Ynfl11 t tF .r i� y f tY ry ..,✓ PJ e ', el ell h ' A 3e•° t ; at3 4 '43f ��nfE gL x� � fez a � 4 tf t,'flflk ktt8` i 3v' � 44 xi �rz'tt_S a[ � ✓. �C. „'4l fY 12h4+ !

He the owner( I do not know his name) is having trouble with his wife car going out the driveway because the gravel washed away from excess water running down the drive from all the construction. 339 E. Van Emmon Greg, Susan Lampke 630-553-4410 While driving through Kendalwood Estates I met Greg Lampke about IO:OOAM he stoped me to show me the elevations of his basement in relation to the creek if I remember right the creek is about 1 .5 R below the floor of his basement. Wile I had him I asked about the water leaking in to his basement and he said no water leaking in to his basement from the rain yester day. Greg did say 341 Van Emmon bad a leak and I said I knew it. 315 E. Van Emmon Julie Cinnamon 630-553-3215 A bout 9:00 am I phoned the Cinnamon residents and Mr. Cinnamon answered He said no water has leaked in to his basement from the rain on June 3, 2008. June 9, 2008 This Monday morning the rain gage had 0.90 in of rain in it this was acclimated by at least two rains one on Sunday afternoon and one early Monday morning. Susan Lambkeat 339 E. Van Emmon I talked to about 9:00am and Julie Cinnamon 315 E. Van Emmon I talked to about 3 :00pm they both said there was no water leaking into there basements from the rain over the weekend.

June 16, 2008 This is Monday the Lambke are on vacation to Iowa I bet they will have some stories about flooding when they get back. Talked to Mr. Cinnamon about 1 :00 pm he said water began to trickle in to the basement 20 min after the second rain then several places later. He said it was not a flood but just several leaks. They took pictures for me because it was on Sunday and they thought it might be dried up by Monday. If they call I will go pick up the pictures, July 11, 2008 Over night it rained .90in in the rain gage at city hall. As I was driving by Mr. Cinnamon at about 8:30 AM he was sitting on the front porch having a smoke so I stopped to ask about water leaking in to his basement from the rain over night. He said very little just some damp spots and he said he thought it is leaking at about the same rate it did before the construction of the water main. Called Greg Lambkc at about 1 :00 PM he said the basement was dry. July 14, 2008 Monday This morning I checked the rain gage and it had .90in of rain in it from the rain we had July 12, 2008 early am rain. Called Lambke and Cinnamon nether were home so I left message asking if they had any water in there basement from the last rain. July 15, 2008 Sue Lambke did call me back and said no water in her basement from the July 14 rain but they are concerned what will happen during a big rain or the spring thaws July 16, 2008 Julie Cinnamon called and left a message saying they did get water in ther basement they took pictures if I want them. They were out of town and called to let me know when they got back. July 21, 2008 Monday At 7:00 am the rain gage had 0.12 in of rain in it from two or more rains over the weekend and it is starting to rain again. The rain gage had 0.02 in rain in it at the end of the rain at about 1 :00pm. Julie Cinnamon called at 1 :43 pm on Saturday to let me know they had a lot of water in there basement from the Saturday am rain. Then she called again Sunday and left me a message at 8:28 am and said they got more water in there basement from the sundaes morning rain. I called her July 22, 2008 am and let Julie know I received her messages and thanked her for leaving me the messages. July 22, 2008 Greg Lambke was out working on his truck so I stopped and asked about water in the basement from the rain Saturday Sunday and Monday and he said the basement was dry. August 8, 2008 While I was on vacation it rained 0.6 in rain on August 4, on August 8, 2008 I talked to the Cinnamon family and they said there still is dampness in the basement from the last rain. They said it would leak from big rains in the past but never with the smaller rains like we have been getting. The Cinnamon's are worried about the wood post under the kitchen rotting out and the floor failing. Lambkc family has not been getting water in there basement and I have not been able to contact them about the last rain.

The three separate action plans were given for the biodiesel, E85 and hybrid vehicle topics. Tonight' s discussion will start the E85 and the hybrid vehicle action plans. Both topics will have a discussion on the environmental benefits and the monetary cost of each. Supporting materials are provided for each section from various websites. E85 The outcome of this step in the action plan should be a recommendation to the City Council on how to use E85 in the City's fleet, and whether or not that recommendation should be . in a formal ordinance, resolution, or policy, or an informal form (i.e. a trial run). Whether or not' that recommendation comes at the end of this meeting is up to the committee, as there is no deadline for the completion of the action plan. "E85 is a blend of 85% denatured ethanol and 15% gasoline"' that reduces evaporative and tailpipe emissions and reduces emissions of other toxic materials while being cheaper than gasoline and decreasing petroleum use, but having less energy content'. Typically, the energy content of E85 is only 75% of gasoline. However, E85 is currently priced 50 to 60 cents cheaper per gallon than gasoline, or 85% of the cost of gasoline. Attachment two contains an FFV cost calculator from the US Department of Energy and Energy Efficiency; one for a Ford Crown Victoria, one for a Chevy Impala. Both calculations show the total cost to drive the vehicle being higher for E85. The benefits to E85 are also highlighted — between 550 and 650 gallons of gasoline saved and roughly 3800 pounds of greenhouse gases not emitted. In short, the primary ' consideration for using E85 is whether the environmental benefits of reduced reliance on gasoline and reduced greenhouse emissions outweigh the additional operating costs of an E85- compatible vehicle. E85 can be used through procurement of a flex-fuel vehicle (FFV), at no additional cost from a non-FFV, or through an alternative fuel conversion (AFV). The City has one FFV, a police squad car used for patrol. All AFVs must be certified by the EPA, and to date, only one AFV kit has been certified2. That company, Flex Fuel U.S., has kits available for roughly ' Attachment one — printed out and attached to this memo, but also cited due to use of the quote and materials http://www.epa.gov/smartway/growandeo/documents/factsheet-e85 htm 2 Attachment three — National Ethanol Vehicle Coalition website - bq://www.e85 fuel.com/e85101/fans/conversion.nhn $ 1 ,200. Procurement of E85 has recently become very easy for Yorkville residents - Fast Stop Grainco FS at 8115 South Route 47 began distributing E85 a few months ago. I have attached several other handouts from the Environmental Protection Agency on E85 . Attachment four explains the AFV conversion process, as regulated by the US Department of Energy. Attachment five is a table of E85 fuel properties. Attachment 6 contains details on E85 emissions. Hybrid vehicles The outcome of this step in the action plan should be a recommendation to the City Council on the use of hybrid vehicles in the City's fleet, and whether or not that recommendation should be in a formal ordinance, resolution, or policy, or an informal form (i.e. a trial run). Whether or not that recommendation comes at the end of this meeting is up to the committee, as there is no deadline for the completion of the action plan. Hybrid vehicles utilize an electric motor and a gasoline engine to reduce overall fuel consumption, therefore improving fuel economy. Hybrid vehicles have a greater purchase price, but have better fuel economy, higher resale values and release fewer emissions than their non- hybrid counterparts. The annual cost of maintenance is still unknown, as hybrid vehicles have not gone through a full-vehicle lifespan; some articles and website argue that a lower annual _ maintenance cost will be realized, some articles argue it will be higher: The US Department of Energy runs the fueleconomy.gov website, which allows you to compare hybrid vehicles to their standard counterparts. I printed out two different models - one for a 2008 Ford Escape, and one for a 2008 Honda Civic. Depending on the variables used in the calculation (estimate of operating life, cost of fuel), the return on hybrid investment could be near 7-10 years. These printouts also note the amount of environmental benefits from the annual petroleum consumption (5 less barrels of oil per year for the Escape Hybrid, 3.5 less for the Civic Hybrid) and the reduced carbon footprint(2.5 tons less per year for the Escape Hybrid, and 2 for the Civic Hybrid) - but, these calculators do not include the financial savings of the environmental benefits: Hybrid vehicles are easy to procure and widely available. Several months ago, the State of Illinois had a joint purchasing contract that included a Toyota Prius. While no statewide joint purchasing contracts currently have a hybrid vehicle, the City could secure one through a competitive bidding process, if desired. In short, the primary consideration for using hybrid vehicles is whether the improved fuel economy and environmental benefits of reduced reliance on gasoline and reduced greenhouse emissions outweigh the higher initial purchase price and unknown variable of annual maintenance costs. s Attachment seven - http://www.fueleconomv.gov/feaybridtech.shtml Attachment eight - Side by side comparison of standard and hybrid models of Ford Escape and Honda Civic - t www.fueh' onomy.gov/fe g/h vbrid sbs.slunl further illustrate that the debate on maintenance costs is still unknown, the Department of Energy has estimated — higher annual maintenance costs for some hybrids (Civic) and lower for others (Escape).

Essentially non-drinkable grain alcohol, ethanol is produced by fermenting plant sugars. It can be made from corn, sugarcane, and other starchy agricultural product. The cellulose in agricultural wastes such as waste woods and coat stalks (also know as "cellulosic ethanol') can also be used as a base. In the United States, most ethanol is currently made fom corn, although because of rapidly developing research, cellulosic ethanol may soon become a larger part of the market. E85 Fuel percent ethanol.These cars and trucks have the same power, acceleration,payload,and cruise speed as conventionally While pure ethanol is rarely used for transportation fuel,there fueled vehicles.Maintenance for ethanol-fueled vehicles is are several ethanol-gasoline blends in use today.E85 is a blend very similar to that of regular cars and trucks.However, of 85 percent denatured ethanol and 15 percent gasoline. In owners should identify the car as an FFV when ordering certain areas,higher percentages of gasoline will be added to replacement parts.

A Y # uu VV�� JJJ� / �4(d Response: This is a common question asked of the National Ethanol Vehicle Coalition. Unfortunately, there is no simple answer. In the strictest sense, yes, a vehicle that was designed to operate on unleaded gasoline only could be converted to operate on E85. Realistically, the conversion is extremely difficult. Below explains the reasoning. Be aware that Flex Fuel U.S. has obtained the only U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) approval for an E85 conversion kit. The Flex-Box Smart KitTM is approved for the most popular Dodge vehicles: the Dodge Charger, Dodge Magnum, Chrysler 300 2wd and AWD 5.7L Hemi. During the 1980's and early 1990's, many small companies were formed that were altering gasoline-powered vehicles to operate on other forms of fuels such as propane, compressed natural gas, 85 percent ethanol and 85 percent methanol. The marketing program of these conversion companies was based on the premise that it was cheaper to operate a vehicle on alternative fuels. However, the vehicles being converted were engineered, designed and built to operate on unleaded only. Shortly after the emergence of the "conversion firms" the EPA determined that when converted from gasoline to another form of fuel, the exhaust emissions from these converted vehicles were often much "dirtier" than prior to conversion. See explanation regarding EPA Memo 1A. The use of alternative fuels in the transportation sector has been built around the objectives of using cleaner, non-gasoline based components. Based on the federal authority provided to the EPA through the Clean Air Act Amendments _ . of 1990, the EPA implemented. regulations that required the exhaust emissions from vehicles converted to run on alternative fuels be "as clean as the exhaust emissions of the original gasoline equipment. " That is, if Ford Motor Company manufactured a vehicle to _ meet federal emissions standards on gasoline, a company converting that vehicle to operate on propane, must be able to certify that the emissions from the converted vehicle was as good as the original . A process to certify such after-market equipment was initiated and ultimately, few if any conversion kits were able to qualify. Today, 99. 9 percent of the vehicles that are capable of operating on alternative transportation fuels are produced by the original equipment manufacturers such as Ford, General Motors, and DaimlerChrysler. Engineers from these companies are able to design and build vehicles that meet the EPA exhaust emission standards. These companies also are required to warranty the exhaust emissions from these vehicles for 10 years or 100,000 miles, something very few conversion companies are able to accomplish. However, as you will read below, that might be changing. IS IT POSSIBLE TO CONVERT A VEHICLE THAT WAS DESIGNED FOR GASOLINE TO OPERATE ON E857 Yes. However, the only kit holds EPA certification is by FlexFuel U. S. You can find more information on this kit at www.flexfuelus.com . Technically speaking, converting a vehicle that was designed to operate on unleaded gasoline only to operate on another form of fuel that does not use the FlexFuel U.S. kit is a violation of the federal law and the offender may be subject to significant penalties. The differences in fuel injector size, air-fuel ratio, PCM calibrations, material composition of the fuel lines, pumps and tanks are just a few of the components that contribute to making an E85 conversion extremely complex. U.S. Department of Energy - Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Clean Cities - Alternative Fuels Data Center A History of Memorandum 1A In June 1974 the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued Mobile Source Enforcement Memorandum 1A (Memo IA). The original purpose of Memo 1A was to enforce the tampering prohibitions under Section 203(a)(3) of the Clean Air Act with respect to maintenance and use of aftermarket parts. Memo 1A and its subsequent revisions also outline procedures for converting vehicles to operate on alternative fuels while still complying with the Clean Air Act's tampering prohibitions and ensuring that emissions are not degraded through the conversion process. Below is a timeline and information about subsequent revisions to Memo 1A. In the mid 1990s, testing determined that some vehicles that had been converted to operate on alternative fuels, specifically propane and natural gas, produced emissions that were worse than those of baseline gasoline vehicles. EPA issued an Addendum to Memorandum 1A in September 1997, requiring more stringent emissions testing for alternative fuel vehicle (AFV) conversions. The addendum specified three options through which a manufacturer can demonstrate that it has a 'reasonable basis" to believe that its aftermarket part, vehicle add-on, or alteration to the vehicle would not adversely affect vehicle emissions performance. In order to promote initial growth of the alternative fuels industry, Option 3 outlined less stringent requirements than obtaining a Federal Certificate of Conformity required under Option 1 or the California Air Resources Board retrofit system certification required under Option 2. Due to comments received from industry and concerns about the testing process and timeline, EPA issued a Revision to the Addendum to Memo IA in June 1998. The revision clarified certain points and extended the timeline for performing conversions according to the guidelines specified under Option 3 to June 30, 2000. Additional concerns from the small alternative fuels industry related to the costs of "full certification" under Options 1 and 2 led to another extension of Option 3, which was issued in May 2000 and extended the deadline for performing conversions without full certification to December 31, 2001. Finally, on January 24, 2002, EPA extended Option 3 through March 31, 2002 in order to allow time for a new set of certification procedures for fuels converters to be fully developed by EPA. Following these three extensions, Option 3 of the addendum to Memo 1A officially expired on March 31, 2002. Option had permitted the use of alternative fuel conversion systems or "kits, " which were designed for specific 'engine families, provided that the aftermarket conversion company performed satisfactory emission testing demonstrating that the converted vehicles conformed with EPA emissions standards. Options 1 and 2 remain in effect, and EPA now certifies converted vehicles, rather than conversion systems or "kits.

U.S. Department of Energy- Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Alternative Fuels and Advanced Vehicles Data Center Al- Conversions Conventional original equipment manufacturer (OEM) vehicles altered to operate on propane, natural gas, methane gas, ethanol, or electricity are classified as aftermarket alternative fuel vehicle (AFV) conversions. In the United States, all vehicle conversions (except pure battery electric vehicles) must meet current applicable U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) standards. EPA instituted these standards to assure unimpaired emission control of motor vehicles throughout their useful life. Vehicles operating in California must follow conversion rules issued by the California Air Resources Board (CARB). In addition, vehicle conversions that require the addition of heavy battery systems or additional fuel tanks that may alter a vehicle's center of gravity, payload capacity, or handling characteristics may also need to be safety crash tested and certified to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) and/or other National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) regulations. This section provides information about conversions. For more information, choose from the following links. • What is an AFV Conversion? • Vehicle Conversion Certification • Certificates of Conformity • Vehicle Converters • Conversion Requirements What is an AFV Conversion? A converted vehicle is one that was originally designed to operate on gasoline or diesel and has been altered to run on an alternative fuel. Altering vehicles to run on compressed natural gas (CNG) or liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) are the two most common types of alternative fuel vehicle conversions. OEM vehicles can be converted to "dedicated" AFVs, which means they operate exclusively on an alternative fuel such as propane or natural gas. They can also be converted to "dual-fuel" vehicles that have separate tanks for gasoline and the gaseous fuel. The desired fuel is usually accessed by flipping a switch to change tanks. Bi-fuel systems supply both fuels into the combustion chamber at the same time in various calibrated proportions.

Its subsequent revisions outlined allowable procedures for converting vehicles to operate on alternative fuels while still complying with the Clean Air Act's tampering prohibitions and ensuring that emissions are not degraded through the conversion process. In the mid 1990s, testing determined that some vehicles converted to operate on alternative fuels, specifically natural gas and propane, produced worse emissions than those of baseline gasoline vehicles. EPA then issued the Addendum to Memorandum 1A in September 1997, requiring more stringent emissions testing for AFV conversions. Back to Too Certificates of Conformity EPA issues Certificates of Conformity that cover a "test group"—specific vehicle or engine models for certain model years that are modified to operate on an alternative fuel. Data for a test group retrofitted with a conversion companies' alternative fuel system must be submitted to EPA for certification. Once the Certificate of Conformity is Issued, vehicles in the test group may be converted by that conversion company to use that alternative fuel system. Certificates of Conformity for "aftermarket" converters are signed by EPA and certify that the appropriate sections of the Code of Federal Regulations (40 CFR Parts 85 through 88) have been met. Certificates indicate: • The original test group of vehicles as determined and provided by the OEM. • The evaporative emissions family. • The state(s) in which the test group is certified (e.g. California vs. 50 state sales areas). • The "car line" (e.g., F-150, two-wheel drive, extended cab, 5.4-liter engine). • The model year of the vehicles included in the test group. • The emissions standards that are met. An aftermarket conversion may only be performed on a vehicle if a Certificate of Conformity or CARB certification has been issued for that vehicle's test group. For information on CARB procedures, visit the Certification of Alternative Fuel Retrofit Systems section of the CARB Web site. Back to Too Vehicle Converters The EPA refers to a vehicle converter as a "small volume manufacturer." The vehicle converter holds the Certificate of Conformity. An individual or entity wishing to convert a vehicle to operate on an alternative fuel must go through a company or organization associated with a certificate holder, and the work must be performed by a licensed technician associated with that company. It is the responsibility of the certificate holder to ensure the equipment is properly installed and that it is safe, durable, and meets the emission standards of the original model year of the vehicle. To qualify to perform aftermarket AFV conversions, potential certificate holders must complete an application and submit emissions test data to EPA for a test group of vehicles equipped with the retrofit system. Each year, certificate holders must file a new application to renew their certificates for test groups; they do not need to submit new test data in order to renew. For example, for the conversion of a model year(MY) 2003 vehicle, EPA can issue a MY 2007 certificate (enabling the certificate holder to convert that MY 2003 vehicle test group through the end of the 2007 calendar year). The certificate holder could later apply for a MY 2008 certificate when EPA begins issuing them (enabling the certificate holder to convert that MY 2003 vehicle test group through the end of the 2008 calendar year). The certificates are valid through December 31 of each certification year. A manufacturer can reapply to convert prior year vehicles in subsequent years without conducting new emissions testing, as long as the conversion equipment and technologies are equivalent to what was first submitted. If a Certificate of Conformity has not been issued for your vehicle, a certificate holder may consider applying for a Certificate of Conformity for that vehicle. The certificate holder may also provide an estimate on how much it would cost to convert your vehicle. See the Federal and State Laws and Incentives section to find incentives and other programs that could help offset conversion costs. Select Conversion Companies in the related links search to find companies that perform conversions. Back to Tao Conversion Requirements Beginning with MY 2005 light-duty vehicles (MY 2007 for heavy-duty vehicles between 8,500 lb. and 14,000 lb. gross vehicle weight rating), all conversions must be onboard diagnostic system (OBD II) compliant when operating on the alternative fuels. No false OBD codes or false malfunction indicator light (MIL) illumination should occur. For dual-fuel vehicles, the OBD II system must not be affected by the conversion when operating the vehicle on gasoline. Testing for compliance should be conducted by inducing failures to the emission system. EPA-assigned deterioration factors (DFs) were updated on May 26, 2005, and alternative fuel converters must use these DFs for emissions measurements on vehicles using alternative fuels. These apply to dedicated AFVs and dual-fuel vehicles when operating on alternative fuels. Back to Too U.S.Department of Energy Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Finging)ouaprospzrnus fiNaa,, . abanhm(>E tlablz,cm0lida�t9bl.- 1 � June 2008 Ethanol Flexible Fuel Vehicle Conversions Rising gasoline prices and concerns about climate change have greatly increased public interest in ethanol use. Vehicle manufacturers currently offer ethanol flex-fuel vehicles (FFVs) in a wide variety of makes and models at little or no extra cost. In spite of the availability of new and used FFVs, many consumers are curious about the prospects for converting their existing gasoline vehicles to operate on ethanol. • Background • Regulatory Requirements • Certification Process Overview • Status of Ethanol Conversion Certifications • On-board Diagnostics (OBD) Approval Letter • Resources Background The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) implements regulations under the Clean Air Act that require certification of new vehicles as being compliant with emissions requirements (see the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 40, Parts 85 and 86). Certification is granted to the manufacturer for specific vehicle configurations operating on specific fuels according to an established test protocol. Installing or modifying a fuel system to allow a vehicle to operate on a fuel other than that for which it was originally certified is considered tampering—a violation of federal regulations that carries a significant fine. EPA does have a process by which manufacturers of conversion systems can obtain a Certificate of Conformity for converted vehicles. In recent years, manufacturers of natural gas, propane and FFV (E85) conversions have used this process to certify several vehicles for operation on these fuels. This process certifies the converted vehicle—not the conversion system by itself. Back to Too Regulatory Requirements Regulations requiring aftermarket fuel converters to certify their conversions are found in 40 CFR Parts 85 and 86. Conversion systems are not considered to be a type of"device," as has been suggested by some manufacturers, which might otherwise allow converters to sell their systems without obtaining EPA certificates. This situation is sometimes the case with devices such as high-performance air filters, free-flow mufflers and exhaust systems, and some other aftermarket accessories. Because of the complexity of certifying an ethanol FFV, including meeting EPA's on-board diagnostics (OBD) requirements, EPA works with each company interested in certifying an ethanol FFV conversion system. Back to Too Certification Process Overview Certification of fuel conversions closely follows the process original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) use when certifying new model year vehicles. For new vehicles, EPA issues certificates for specific vehicle groupings, called an engine family or test group. A test group, designated by the OEM, contains vehicles with common design elements (such as the number of cylinders or a specific engine and transmission configuration) and similar emission components (such as a similar size catalyst and precious metal loading). There are many test groups for a particular OEM for a given model year, and there are often different test groups for what might appear to be the same kind of vehicle. For example, a pickup truck may be available with either two-wheel or four-wheel drive or with different engine and transmission combinations, each of which might require a separate series of tests and individual Certificates of Conformity. The process for ethanol conversions takes a similar approach. Each test group of a specific vehicle type with a specific conversion system is tested and considered for certification. The tests ensure that the converted vehicle meets emission standards when operated on any blend of ethanol and gasoline, from 0 percent ethanol to 85 percent ethanol (E85), for the full useful life of the vehicle. It also ensures that the OEM's gasoline vehicle components and materials will be compatible with E85 throughout the life of the vehicle. There is no "one size fits all" category or universal EPA certificate for a conversion system that would allow it to be legally installed on any vehicle type or engine configuration. How the specific fuel and emission control systems work together determines compliance with EPA emission standards for a particular vehicle. If a company wants to sell conversion systems in California, similar certification procedures must be followed to obtain approval from the California Air Resources Board (GARB). Emission Standards Emission standards are fuel neutral, which means that the same emission requirements apply no matter the fuel type. Therefore, to prove compliance with emissions standards, converted vehicles must demonstrate they meet emission standards when using the alternative fuel. For ethanol conversions, conversion companies must prove emissions compliance with exhaust standards when vehicles are operating on gasoline as well as E85. Certification Steps OBD Approval Letter 1.

As mentioned previously, a similar process is required by CARB to obtain an Executive Order(the CARB equivalent of an EPA certificate) for sales in California. Back to Too Status of Ethanol Conversion Certifications On May 14, 2008, the EPA issued a Certificate of Conformity to Flex Fuel U.S., LLC for the conversion of specific 2006 model year Chrysler and Dodge vehicles to operate on E85. The certificate allows the conversion of up to 100 vehicles that are a part of the model year 2006 Chrysler test group #6CRXV05.7VE0. Models included in this test group are the 2006 Dodge Magnum, Magnum AWD, and Charger with certain 5.7L engines as well as the 2006 Chrysler 300/SRT-8 and 300 AWD with the same 5.7L engine. (Note: This certificate does not cover vehicles that operate in California and may not cover vehicles in other states that have adopted and placed into effect California emissions standards). The current certification status of ethanol fuel converters may be obtained by contacting EPA staff (see the contact information contained in the EPA presentation referenced at the end of this bulletin). Some companies have developed ethanol conversion systems for use in other countries where emissions requirements and safety standards are different and EPA and CARB regulations do not apply. However, it is illegal to use these systems in the United States unless an EPA Certificate of Conformity and, if appropriate, a CARB Executive Order have been obtained. Some systems are offered via the Internet or other U.S. outlets. To be sure that a conversion system is legal for use in the United States, consumers should always ask the supplier for a copy of the EPA Certificate of Conformity or the CARB Executive Order that verifies compliance for use on their specific vehicles.

These emissions are primarily released by fuel evaporation or combustion. However, these emissions are generally reduced compared to those of gasoline. The following section describes the different types of emissions and compares those of E85 to those of gasoline. Evaporative Emissions Evaporative emissions from E85 and gasoline vehicles enter the air through permeation, fuel tank venting, and fuel or vapor leaks. Permeation vapors, which are released through fuel-line materials, are more of an issue for regular gasoline than E85, though it does occur with E85. For more information on ethanol's influence on permeation rates at different blend levels, see the Coordinating Research Council's permeation report (PDF 657 KB). Download Adobe Reader. Fuel tank venting, which occurs when fumes escape the tank during refueling, is controlled by onboard refueling vapor recovery devices installed in all cars produced since model year (MY) 2000. Evaporative emissions, which are leaks, are becoming less prevalent since new leak-resistant materials and fittings are constantly improving. Tailpipe Emissions Tailpipe emissions are the by-products of fuel burning in a vehicle's engine and emitted from its exhaust system. Major tailpipe emissions include hydrocarbons, oxides of nitrogen (NO,), carbon monoxide (CO) and carbon dioxide (CO2). National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) researchers for the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Emissions Testing Program evaluated the E85 tailpipe emissions of 49 MY 1995 Ford Tauruses and MY 1993 Chevy Luminas and compared them to 40 vehicles of the same model that ran on reformulated gasoline. Each vehicle was tested multiple times as it aged. When the program tested for regulated tailpipe emissions, it found that E85 resulted in higher CO emissions and lower NOx emissions. The results for non-methane hydrocarbon (NMHC) emissions were mixed but reduced in a majority of the rounds (including the one statistically significant one). Test results for total hydrocarbons (THC) were mixed to the point where no relationship could be discerned.

Speciated Hydrocarbons The mixed results of THC were clarified when the testing team separated (speciated) the hydrocarbons into groups. The test results for each type were statistically significant. E85 led to an Increase in formaldehyde and acetaldehyde but emitted less 1,3-butadiene and benzene than RFG. When the hydrocarbons were weighted according to toxicity, total potency- weighted toxics (PWT) were significantly reduced in vehicles powered by E85. When pollutants leading to ozone (CO and NO.) were accounted for and weighted, the ozone- forming potential (OFP) of E85 emissions was greater than that of RFG emissions. This overrides the point that the specific reactivity (SR) of a given amount of non-methane organic gases is less for RFG than for E85.

The findings in NREL's study were largely supported by a literature search. The only literature found to disagree with the NREL study concerned CO emissions. While NREL found CO emissions to be higher from E85, two studies found them to be reduced. Analysis of the NREL study and seven others is currently being conducted. Results will be posted on this Web page in fall 2008. Lifecycle GHG Emissions and Petroleum Use Argonne National Laboratory analyzed the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction of E85 on a per-mile basis and found that corn-based E85 reduces GHG emissions 17-23% below those of regular gasoline. It also found that E85 reduces petroleum use by 70%.

The electric motor applies resistance to the drivetrain causing the wheels to slow down. In return, the energy from the wheels turns the motor, which functions as a generator, converting energy normally wasted during coasting and braking into electricity, which is stored in a battery until needed by the electric motor. Electric Motor Drive/Assist. The electric motor provides additional power to assist the engine in accelerating, passing, or hill climbing. This allows a smaller, more efficient engine to be used. In some vehicles, the motor alone provides power for low-speed driving conditions where internal combustion engines - are least efficient. Automatic Start/Shutoff. Automatically shuts off the engine when the vehicle comes to a stop and restarts it when the accelerator is pressed. This prevents wasted energy from idling.
