The meeting was called to order at 6:00pm by Chairman Diane Teeling.
Citizen Comments: None
Previous Meeting Minutes: January 21, 2014
The minutes were approved as presented.
New Business:
1. PW 2014-07 Water Department Reports for November and December 2013
Public Works Director Eric Dhuse said these are the standard reports with the addition of a page
showing watermain breaks over several years.
2. PW 2014-08 River Road Bridge Authorization of Contract Changes
Mr. Sanderson said Authorization #12 is for additional work needed on the concrete curb and gutter.
After a heavy rainfall, it was found that drainage was not adequate and it required extra work totaling
$3,770.11. Authorization #13 was for balancing and a couple adjustments at a cost of $1,559.40. He
recommended approval of both and said there should be no more unless IDOT has changes.
Page 2 of 4
3. PW 2014-09 Blackberry Hill Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses-Stormwater Easement
This building will be constructed on Cannonball Trail north of Bristol. An easement will be needed
over the stormwater management basin according to Mr. Sanderson. He recommended acceptance and
noted that it requires a backup SSA per ordinance. A Public Hearing will also be scheduled. This
moves to the Council consent agenda.
4. PW 2014-10 MFT General Maintenance Appropriation Resolution for FY 15
This is the yearly appropriation for cold/hot patch and signs. Mr. Dhuse has also ordered 2,500 tons of
salt with an estimated cost of $75/ton. This must be ordered in March/April for a locked-in price and is
part of State bids. It can be ordered later at an open market price, but most likely at a higher price.
This moves to the consent agenda.
5. PW 2014-11 Fox Hill/Sunflower Estates RFP
This is the yearly RFP for mowing and maintenance of Fox Hill and Sunflower. Mr. Dhuse is asking
for a possible 3-year contract to “stop the learning curve”, with the option to cancel any year if rates
become too high. Proposals will be brought to the March meeting and this item moves to the Council
consent agenda.
6. PW 2014-12 KKCOM – FAU Route System Additions
Engineer Sanderson said a couple roads have been added to the FAU System that makes them eligible
for possible federal funding for resurfacing. The Kane/Kendall Council of Mayors recommended
approval for portions of Ashe and Baseline Roads. Alderman Koch asked if there are homes located on
these roads and questioned why these roads would be repaired before Countryside Parkway for
example. It was explained that certain criteria must be met. Mr. Olson said the City had applied for
Mill St., however, it was rejected. It will be brought back with a request for the “B” list. While Ashe
Road is not in the City, the City supports inclusion for the regional funding efforts. It was also noted
that the City maintains only part of Baseline Road. The committee supported this recommendation.
7. PW 2014-13 Parking Restrictions-Whispering Meadows
Mr. Olson said this item extends the parking restrictions on the east side of Alan Dale Lane from Faxon
Road to Alice Avenue and was requested by the HOA President. Neighbors approve, but notices will
be sent and a Public Hearing will be held. All committee members approved of this action.
Old Business:
1. PW2014-06 Road to Better Roads 5-Year Plan Update
Mr. Olson recapped previous discussions regarding this program and said that if water and sewer
projects were going to be done next year, engineering agreements have to be drafted. Overall, the
committee had previously given direction to scale back on projects. When presented to the full
Council, Aldermen wanted some of the roads repaired, but expressed concern for costs.
Alderman Kot asked for a further explanation of the '5-year plan based on inflation'. In 2008 a 5-year
rate increase was passed, which will soon come to an end. Alderman Kot asked about extending this
and said inflation-based costs are better explained and accepted.
Page 3 of 4
Alderman Milschewski asked how much revenue might be lost through reduced sewer connection fees
as a result of the B.U.I.L.D program vs. any increases in sewer fees. Mr. Olson said more revenue is
actually lost in water connection fees which was $80,000 in FY 2013 vs. $62,000 in water connection
fees to builders not participating in B.U.I.L.D. Commenting about the economic benefits of
B.U.I.L.D., Alderman Kot said it helps bring rooftops that help generate new businesses. Ms.
Milschewski also added that no taxes are generated on empty lots.
It was noted that costs for repairing Countryside Parkway and the Rt. 71 pipe-moving costs would
nearly deplete the program funds. Mr. Dhuse said the water pipes in Countryside are sandcast and
there have been many breaks. Lining the water pipes is not a proven fix, he said. Watermain and sewer
pipes in Countryside are currently in the parkways, but would be moved under the street when
improvements are done.
Administrator Olson prepared a chart on the blackboard showing a proposed schedule of water rate
percentage increases and the potential revenue generated from 2014 through 2019. He said that low
volume users would pay $12 more annually and normal users would pay $60 more annually. Alderman
Kot noted that many citizens are on fixed incomes in an already bad economy. Mr. Olson replied that
all utilities are going up and an increase has been deferred as long as possible, especially in view of the
upcoming Rt. 71 project. He said a volume-based water increase allows some control by the citizens.
He also does not want the bond ratings to lower and the auditors do not approve of large deficits. Mr.
Dhuse noted 2 Rt. 34 projects after 2020 also.
Alderman Kot asked about the Sunflower flooding issue and State St. sewer. He thought these were to
be repaired this year, but he said it is now being discussed for next year. Aldermen Koch and Kot said
it needs to be fixed this year. Mr. Olson discussed the funds available for the repairs and said State St.
can be repaired, however, surrounding areas need to be repaired as well. It was noted there is a
bottleneck under the road at Fox & W. Ridge. Alderman Kot said the residents' priority would be to
repair the sewer prior to the roads and he asked for a consensus from the committee to move forward
with these sewer repairs.
Mr. Olson requested a formal recommendation on a plan for next year for roads and sewers since
engineering plans will be needed, adding that the road projects would need to be scaled back. He said
the Administration Committee would also be considering the rates. Alderman Milschewski said
priorities need to be set and then move forward with them. After further discussion, Alderman Koch
said he feels Morgan St. will no longer be repaired this year. Mr. Olson noted that fixing some of the
roads without infrastructure problems may result in other roads deteriorating further and requiring more
repair in the long run.
To fix State St. (which is on the 5-year plan) at this time would cost approximately $224,000 for
pavement. Patching only, was also discussed for State Street. With the remaining money, Hydraulic,
Van Emmon, Washington & Morgan could also be repaired. Heustis St. repairs were discussed and it
was noted that water and sidewalk also needs repair there and there is no stone under the pavement.
Bidding on a package for several streets might be cheaper according to Mr. Dhuse. Mr. Olson also said
that by shifting Road to Better Roads projects, the committee must also keep in mind the money needed
for the Rt. 71 project. Alderman Koch asked how the Roads to Better Roads would have been handled
in past years. In previous years, bonds would have been issued.
Page 4 of 4
The Rt. 71 widening from Rt. 47 and Orchard was also briefly discussed. It is slated to begin in
2015/2016. The question was posed what would happen if the City informed the State there simply is
no money for these projects. The work would likely come to a halt.
In summary, Mr. Olson said he will bring an engineering agreement to the next meeting. Mr.
Sanderson said he will break out the the water and sewer costs and also prepare a list of roadways
needing repair and the costs. Mr. Dhuse asked that Adrian St. be given strong consideration for water
repair due to several breaks.
Additional Business: None
There was no further business and the meeting was adjourned at 7:37pm by Vice-Chairman Kot.

2014 Parkway Tree Replacement Program

Majority
Approval
Annual Renewal of Program
Eric Dhuse Public Works
Name Department
The 50/50 Parkway Tree Program information sheet, order form, and tree species information
for the 2014 year are attached. Staff is seeking City Council approval to continue the
program. The limit of 36 parkway trees remains, as set in previous years’ programs, unless
recommended by committee to be changed for 2014 due to the large number of ash trees
being removed.
The 50/50 program includes purchase and planting of the tree by the City, with the
homeowner reimbursing the City for the cost of the tree. The City’s share is in kind including
pickup of trees, delivery to homes, JULIE locate, planting, first water, and all Staff time
coordinating the project. To help ensure the survival of the tree, all trees except oaks will be
planted in the fall. The City will allow the resident to locate the tree at their desired location,
but if the location must be adjusted due to utilities, the homeowner will still approve the
location prior to planting.
I would ask that this item be placed on the March 18, 2014 Public Works Committee meeting
for approval. If you have any questions, or need further information, please let me know.
Memorandum
To: Public Works Committee
From: Eric Dhuse, Director of Public Works
CC: Bart Olson, City Administrator
Scott Sleezer, Superintendent of Parks
Date: March 3, 2014
Subject: Yorkville 50/50 Tree Replacement Program
United City of Yorkville 50/50 Parkway Tree Program
Through the 50/50 Parkway Tree Program, the United City of Yorkville shares the cost of
planting trees with homeowners. Residents simply choose the tree they want and send in
a check for the cost listed on the order form. The City does the rest!
The Parkway Tree Program is intended to provide quality shade trees to residents within
the City to be planted within the right-of-ways along the streets and corridors throughout
the City. The trees are intended to provide shade, screening, wildlife, pollution control,
reduction of water runoff, soil erosion control, increased property values, reduced stress,
aesthetics, and a sense of well being within the community. This program is open to all
residents within City limits. If you are in a development that has not yet been accepted by
the City, the developer may still be responsible for your parkway tree replacement. Please
contact the number below if you have questions.
All trees purchased through the program are required to be planted within the area of the
right-of-way in front of or on the sides of the purchaser's property. The right-of-way area
available for planting the trees varies depending on the platting of the property and the
width of the right-of-way. Generally it is eight to ten feet (8' to 10') from edge of curb to
edge of right-of-way. Trees must be located a minimum distance of 50 feet from any
other tree in the parkway; not conflict with existing utilities, be at least 20 feet from an
overhead light or fire hydrant, and must be 30 feet from any intersection. Each tree will
be a minimum of 2.5” in diameter.
The City will work with the homeowner to locate the tree. All trees will be purchased for
a fall planting except for oak trees, which will be planted the following spring. The tree
will be planted, mulched, and watered (once) by the City. After the watering, care is the
responsibility of purchaser. No guarantee of viability will be provided.
Please make your check payable to the United City of Yorkville. All orders must be
received by Friday September 12, 2014.
Please mail checks and completed application to:

Green Organics – Proposed License Agreement
PW Committee/March 18, 2014
1/14/2014
Amended Annexation Agreement
Majority
Approval
Recommendation for a proposed license agreement for Green Organics compost
facility.
Krysti J. Barksdale-Noble, AICP Community Development
Name Department
Project Background
As you may recall, the City Council recently approved an amendment to the Annexation
Agreement and Planned Unit Development for the Westbury East Village development to permit
the reconfiguration and expansion of the existing Green Organics compost facility which
currently leases land on a portion of unplatted land in the vacant development. As part of that
approval, the Green Organics will be abandoning an existing detention facility and will be
establishing a new detention basin.
Request for License Agreement
Please find attached a copy of a draft License Agreement prepared by the City Attorney
related to the Green Organics compost facility which grants City access onto the property for the
proposed new detention pond, as required by the City’s Storm Water Management Ordinance.
The request for the License Agreement is in lieu of a requirement for perpetual easement onto
the property since the approval of the compost facility is for a term of five (5) years, per the
recently amended annexation agreement for the Westbury East Village development.
While the stormwater management ordinance typically requires certain long term
maintenance obligations for detention ponds to be covered by a dormant or back-up Special
Service Area (SSA) tax, staff is supportive of the proposed license agreement as an adequate
mechanism to ensure the continued operation of the stormwater system due to the short-term
nature of the composting facility.
Staff Comments/Recommendation
Staff is recommending approval of the draft license agreement drafted. Should you have
any questions related to this request; staff will be available at Tuesday night’s meeting.

Status Update
Brad Sanderson Engineering
Name Department
This memo is to update the Public Works Committee as to the status of the effort to address the
drainage issues at Walsh Drive. As previously noted, staff has attempted to reach out to the
adjacent property owner in order to coordinate a solution. To this point, the property owner has
been unresponsive and we have been unable to schedule a meeting.
If you may recall, our recommended solution involved “bypassing” of the offsite flow directly to
the detention basin. This involved either the construction of a larger culvert under Walsh Drive
or the construction of a larger storm sewer along the rear lot lines of the adjacent homes. Both
options would involve the cooperation and the acquisition of easements from the adjacent
property owner.
As a result of the lack of progress with the property owner, we have investigated additional
options to mitigate the drainage issues that could be implemented within the existing ROW and
easements. We have identified two feasible alternatives. The first alternative involves
increasing the capacity of the bypass flow through the storm sewer on the south side of
Sunflower Estates by increasing the size of the flared end section accepting the bypass flow and
the addition of an additional outfall section. See attached Alternative No. 1 Exhibit and
Preliminary Cost Estimate. The second alternative would be to add additional inlets to the low
point on Walsh Drive within the subdivision. This alternative would be in addition to the
Alternative No. 1 improvements to increase removal of stormwater from the subdivision when
overflow events occur. See attached Alternative No. 1A Exhibit No. 1A Exhibit and Preliminary
Cost Estimate. Both suggested improvements noted above would provide relief from the current
situation.
We continue to recommend that we pursue coordination with the property owner in an attempt to
ultimately solve the situation. A good portion of the improvements noted above (if not all,
depending on solution) would remain in place with the ultimate solution.
Lastly, it should also be noted that IDOT as part of their planned improvements to IL Route 71
will be making modifications/changes in how the area drains near Walsh Drive. We are the in
process of communicating our concerns on the downstream drainage to them.
If you have any questions, or need additional information, please let me know.

Heustis Street Improvements
PW Committee – March 18, 2014
Consideration of Approval
Contract Consideration
Brad Sanderson Engineering
Name Department
Summary
An engineering agreement with EEI for the Summer 2014 Road to Better Roads program design
and construction engineering for roadway, storm sewer and watermain improvements on Heustis Street
between E Orange Street and E Fox Road.
Background
At the end of January, the City Council tentatively endorsed the scaled back Road to Better
Roads program recommended by the Public Works Committee at the January Public Works committee
meeting. That scaled back plan is as follows:
1) W Hydraulic from its western terminus to Morgan St
2) Adrian Street from Blaine St to W Washington St with water and storm sewer improvements
3) Heustis Street from E Orange St to E Fox Rd with water improvements
4) State Street sanitary sewer improvements
5) Miscellaneous sanitary sewer improvements
In order to ensure this project is completed in the 2014 construction season, the engineering
agreement must be approved as soon as possible. A full project schedule is appended to the engineering
agreement.
Approval of this engineering agreement is the first official endorsement of the Road to Better Roads
program to be completed in the 2014 construction season. If the City Council does not wish to proceed
with the scaled back plan as listed above, or has major reservations about the water rate increase
proposals in the FY 15 budget proposal, this engineering agreement should be tabled.
Recommendation
For reasons already discussed in the FY 15 budget proposal and the January Public Works
Committee meeting, staff recommends approval of this engineering agreement.

Riverfront Park Engineering Agreeement
Public Works – March 18, 2014
N/A
Majority
Approval
See attached memo.
Bart Olson Administration
Name Department
Summary
Approval of an engineering agreement with EEI for Riverfront Park improvements as part of the
2012 OSLAD grant project.
Background
The City was awarded an OSLAD grant for Riverfront Park redevelopment in 2013, and signed
the grant agreement with the state in the past few months. The first part of the project was to conduct
appraisals on the land at Blackberry Creek that was used as our local match. These appraisals were
recently completed, and yielded a value of $8,500 per acre ($247,000) and $8,247 per acre ($240,000).
While this falls short of our predicted value of $400,000+, we had $172,000 of residual value leftover
from the Raintree Park OSLAD project, so we have enough local match to proceed with the Riverfront
Park project.
The grant-related project budget is as follows:
Brick (repair and re-laying along walkway) $ 32,000
Brick work & new stairs on existing shelter $ 15,000
Playground & sitting area $132,000
Fishing Pier $ 70,000
Lighting extension into east end of park $ 50,000
Parking Lot (completion of small asphalt
lot near building) $ 5,000
Landscape Restoration $ 19,000
Shared-Use Trail (1,210 LF) $ 50,000
Canoe Access Beach $ 5,000
Small Picnic Shelters relocated to woods $ 5,000
Memorial Area (benches only) $ 5,000
Woodland Restoration (tree removal
for wood chip path, tree planting) $ 25,000
Vendor pads and electrical outlets $ 20,000
Rise-off outdoor shower $ 10,000
Port-o-let/changing facility shelters $ 14,000
A/E Design fees (10%) $ 45,700
$502,700
Within these grant-related components, staff has asked EEI for assistance with a topographic survey, soil
analysis, wetland delineation, endangered species analysis, Illinois Historical Preservation Agency
report, and the IEPA notice of intent permit. All of these items are considered within the A/E design
Memorandum

fees of the grant project. Additionally, we’ve asked EEI for assistance with the parking lot (completion
of small asphalt lot near building), a portion of the playground and sitting area (related to site
preparation), the shared use trail (design and construction documents), and fishing pier (design). EEI’s
assistance with these items, we will have final construction documents which we can put to bid for the
various components.
The only item that we’ve included in this EEI agreement that is not grant-related is the
construction documents for the Hydraulic Avenue extension and eastern parking lot. These components
have already been designed by EEI as part of past projects, and we only need construction documents to
be completed for $1,750 to take these to bid. While we don’t have funding for the completion of these
components immediately identified, we included the completion of the construction documents in this
engineering agreement with the thought that we would include these components in the RFP as an add-
on and receive more favorable bid results on both the grant-related and non-grant-related components.
As a reminder, the ultimate park renovation includes more components that can be funded by the
downtown TIF. These components were not included in the grant application:
Kiosk(s) $ 2,000
Parking lot on east side of building $156,000
Bioswale in parking lot $ 8,000
Boat ramp/canoe launch $ 46,000
Application cost for railroad easement $ 2,950
Performance area/pad $ 20,000
Changing facilities $ 1,000
Memorial Area (additional) $ 5,000
$240,950
Finally, every other component of the grant project can likely be completed with in-house staff
and likely without any assistance from a parks planning consultant.
Recommendation
Staff recommends approval of an engineering agreement with EEI for Riverfront Park
redevelopment.
Summary
The 2012 OSLAD Grant Cycle is open for applications which are due by July 1st. As of the date
of this memo, we have not yet heard if we have been awarded grant funds for our 2011
Riverfront Park application. The state has reported that they have approximately $10-$11 million
available for the last grant cycle.
Park Board has recommended that we re-submit the Riverfront Park application for the 2012
cycle in case our current application submission is not awarded to us. The Park Board
unanimously agreed that Riverfront Park is the most needed for the community, especially due to
the increase in activity since the Whitewater Course has been completed, as well as it being our
strongest application due to the elements included.
The OSLAD grant application will be a development and acquisition grant. This will require
development of the park to the design submitted for the grant as well as acquisition of land,
which will also be developed according to the plan submitted.
OSLAD Grant Project
The elements listed below are either a priority for residents and elected officials, such as the
playground replacement, score high on the OSLAD scoring system, such as the fishing pier and
canoe access beach, or are a recommended improvement to achieve a safe and user-friendly
facility.
Brick (repair and re-laying along walkway) $32,000
Brick work & new stairs on existing shelter $15,000
Playground & sitting area $132,000
Fishing Pier $70,000
Lighting extension into east end of park $50,000
Parking Lot (completion of small asphalt

Landscape Restoration $19,000
Shared-Use Trail (1,210 LF) $50,000

for wood chip path, tree planting) $25,000
Vendor pads and electrical outlets $20,000
Rise-off outdoor shower $10,000
Port-o-let/changing facility shelters $14,000
A/E Design fees (10%) $45,700
$502,700
A project is more favorable to the IDNR if the local agency is contributing more than 50% of the
project costs. To achieve this, the City is estimating that the value of the priority elements is
greater than $400,000, however, some elements can be completed by the City with no additional
financial outlay. This includes items such as forced labor for brick restoration, playground work,
electrical work, parking lot and trail construction, woodland restoration, sewer/water for the
outdoor shower, and construction of the port-o-let/changing facility shelters, as well as the
architectural and engineering design fees. The A/E Design fees would include time spent
designing and preparing specifications and construction documents for the project. All of these
items can be completed by current City employees. The added benefit of this is to maximize our
reimbursement from the state. If prices come in below our originally submitted estimates and
additional funds remain for reimbursement, we can be reimbursed for the forced labor and A/E
design fees for City staff time. In other words, there will be no final outlay of funds by the City.
The design for this park is attached and has not changed from the previous years’ design.
Land Contribution (Corlands property)
A letter of valuation (attached) is provided for the 29.1 acre parcel located south of Blackberry
Creek by Thompson Appraisals from the first grant submission in 2010. The estimated value of
that parcel is $378,000 based on a $13,000/acre estimate. It is a natural division in the 90 acre
parcel, and a concept plan is attached for development of the park. Development of the park must
occur within 3 years of acceptance of the final payment of the OSLAD grant, therefore,
conceivably (if we are awarded in 2013, begin construction immediately and receive our final
payment in 2015) construction would need to be finished by 2018. The site development plan is
attached and includes a trail, trail head and map, and interpretive signage along the path. The site
currently exists as a natural tall grass field.
If the valuation of the land is further reduced by the time of acquisition as part of this grant,
additional land will be donated from the larger 60 acre section (the entire Corlands property is
approximately 90 acres total) as necessary. The City will not expend any additional funds on the
development of the park by increasing the land donation to meet the value of $378,000.
Overall Budget Estimate
Last year a question on the cost for improving the entire park to the entire conceptual design
(without any grant funding) was asked. Below is a preliminary estimate of all elements and the
total cost for these improvements.
Kiosk(s) $2,000
Parking lot on east side of building $156,000
Bioswale in parking lot $8,000*
Boat ramp/canoe launch $46,000
Application cost for railroad easement $2,950

Grande Reserve Park B Engineering Agreement
Public Works – March 18, 2014
N/A
Majority
Approval
See attached memo.
Bart Olson Administration
Name Department
Summary
Approval of an engineering agreement with EEI for improvements on Grande Reserve Park B.
Background
Grande Reserve Park B was donated to the City by the Grande Reserve developer as part of the
original annexation agreement in 2004. This donation was used by the City as a land-match for the 2007
Prairie Meadows Park OSLAD grant (Riemenschneider Park). Construction on the park improvements
for Park B must be commenced by January 2015, and this deadline cannot be extended, since the City
has already been granted multiple extensions in the past by IDNR. In order to get to the point where the
City can install park equipment, we must mass grade and prepare the property.
The attached engineering agreement contains three components. First, the contract contains due
diligence on the property. This will consist of EEI shooting a topographic survey of the property. The
end result of the survey will be for us to have an estimate of the cost to complete the grading and
preparation of the site. Second, the contract includes expenses for the design of the mass grading of
open space and the preparation of documents for the City to complete an RFP for mass grading and site
preparation. Third, the contract contains expenses for design of the park/recreational improvements and
the preparation of documents for the City to complete an RFP for park/recreational improvements to the
site.
The unique detail about this engineering agreement is 2/3 of the components are actually
developer responsibilities and the final 1/3 is a City obligation that is being paid for by the developer. In
the 2004 annexation agreement and city-wide development ordinances, the developer committed to
following the City’s subdivision improvement standards, which indicated that land for park purposes
that is donated to the City must be mass graded and seeded, and committed to paying for the installation
of park/recreational equipment. However, in order to meet the deadlines imposed by the IDNR OSLAD
grant program and prevent the City from having to pay back $400,000 to the State, we must begin to
complete the improvements ourselves. It should be noted that the existing developer is aware of the
obligations and has a meeting to discuss subdivision-wide items next Wednesday (the day after the
Public Works Committee meeting). The intent is to have an annexation agreement amendment in front
of the City Council in the next few months that addresses many issues in the subdivision, including the
funding of these improvements. The agreement could result in the developer completing the
improvements themselves (unlikely given the timeline for construction and the deadline imposed by
IDNR) or reimbursement of the cost of the improvements to the City (possible, but we have not
requested that yet from the developer). We will keep the committee updated as negotiations progress.

ComEd Recreational Lease Renewal

Majority

See attached memo.
Bart Olson Administration
Name Department
Summary
Approval of an extension to the ComEd recreational lease for a portion of the ComEd easement
near the South water tower.
Background
This item was last discussed by the City Council in 2004. At that time, the City Council chose to
renew the lease for a 10-year term. The lease agreement and resolution from 2004 are attached to this
memo.
This easement was originally granted for access to the City’s sanitary sewer lift station in the
mid-2000s (that lift station has since been abandoned) and for recreational use. While the City has no
immediate plans to install a trail within this easement nor between Riverfront Park and Windett Ridge,
we recommend approval of the extension of the lease for future planning purposes. At $1 for a 10-year
lease, we think it is prudent to approve.
Recommendation
Staff recommends approval of the ComEd recreational lease.

Road to Better Roads 5-year plan update
Public Works – March 18, 2014
N / A
Majority
Approval
See attached memo.
Bart Olson Administration
Name Department
Summary
Discussion of the Road to Better Roads 5-year plan.
Background
This item was last discussed by the Public Works Committee at their February meeting. At that
meeting, the committee asked staff to bring engineering agreements for the scaled back Road to Better
Roads program to the March Public Works Committee meeting. Those engineering agreements are
included in the agenda items under new business.
Recommendation
The materials from the February Public Works Committee are attached. Staff is seeking any
further questions or comments on the FY 15 budget proposal related to Roads to Better Roads.
Memorandum
To: Public Works Committee
From: Bart Olson, City Administrator
CC:
Date: March 13, 2014
Subject: Road to Better Roads 5-year plan update
Summary
Discussion and direction on the FY 15 Road to Better Roads program and discussion on the FY
16 through FY 19 Road to Better Roads plan.
Background
This item was last discussed at the January 21 Public Works Committee meeting. At that
meeting, the City Council recommended that we proceed with the scaled back FY 15 Road to Better
Roads program as discussed in the attached memo. They expressed some concern over the long-term
cost of the program and its impact on water and sewer rates, and suggested that the entire City Council
review both the FY 15 recommendations and the long-term plan options.
For the ongoing plan funding, the conversation ended with a debate over whether the needed
water and sewer infrastructure improvements would be funded by rates on a pay-as-you-basis vs. issuing
debt. There are pros and cons for each option, which can be fully discussed as part of the FY 15 budget
proposal. In general:
1) Pay-as-you-go
a. Pros
i. Allows us to quit the program and its payments at anytime. If there’s a year
where the City Council decides the City or the residents can’t afford to pay for
improvements, we stop.
ii. No money spent on interest. Theoretically, we maintain enough water, sewer, and
pavement infrastructure that we should be replacing significant portions of each
type of infrastructure each year. For example, we have 82 miles of City-
maintained pavement in the City, all of various ages. The average lifespan of a
roadway is 20 years which means on average we should be replacing or
rehabilitating 4 miles of roadway each year. As you can see in the Public Works
materials, most of our roads are in good condition because they have been built in
the past 10 years. So, there might be slightly fewer lane miles to work on now
than in 10 years from now. This constant demand for replacement and
rehabilitation might lead us into a position of not wanting to borrow to pay for
any of these projects, because the interest costs on borrowing are needed each
year for other projects.
b. Cons
i. Might be totally impractical if the needed roadway improvements in any given
year are very expensive. If we had 20 miles of roads that need to be repaved in
2015, the City taxes and fees needed to pay for this project would be shockingly
high.
Memorandum
To: City Council
From: Bart Olson, City Administrator
CC:
Date: January 23, 2014
Subject: Road to Better Roads
ii. Equity for taxpayers. When the City bonds for a roadway, residents will pay for it
during its lifespan. So, if someone moves to Yorkville next year when a road
project is bonded and lives here for 20 years, they are paying each year to drive
on the specific roadway. Funding a project via pay-as-you-go means each
resident pays for the entire project in the first year while the project is completed.
If someone moves here next year, they pay for the entire lifespan of the project,
even if they move out next year.
2) Bonding
a. Pros
i. Planned expenses. When the City issues a bond, we get a debt service schedule
which gives us long term fixed payments that can be structured to our liking. In
past bond issuances, City Councils have issued bonds that have low immediate
payments, which allowed the City to push off larger payments into the future
when (theoretically) the City will better be able to afford the payments.
ii. Large amounts of projects can be completed immediately and the fiscal impact is
spread out. This is a con for pay-as-you-go. There might be years where the City
has a multi-million dollar project that is impractical to pay for all at once.
iii. Equity for taxpayers. If a resident lives here during the lifespan of the project,
they will pay for the project.
b. Cons
i. Interest payments. The City Council relied heavily on bonds in the past, and we
are now paying large amounts of interest throughout all departments that could be
better spent on operations or capital projects. In FY 14 alone, we will be
spending $1.5m on interest payments between the debt service fund, vehicle and
equipment fund, water fund, sewer fund, and library debt fund. The majority of
the interest payments are in the sewer fund ($658,000) and the water fund
($457,000). In the past decade, the City has spent $7,500,000 on interest
payments. The majority of the interest payments are in the sewer fund
($2,361,952) and the water fund ($3,346,078).
ii. Commitment. Once the bond has been issued, the debt service payments must be
made. As we’ve seen in the Rob Roy sewer debt, this can be a difficult to pay for
depending on the structure of the debt schedule.
Recommendation
Staff recommends direction be given on the FY 15 plan as recommended by the Public Works
Committee, and seeks discussion on the FY 16 through FY 19 plan.
Summary
Review of two different proposals for the Road to Better Roads 5-year plan.
Background
This item was last reviewed at the September Public Works Committee meeting. At that
meeting, the Public Works Committee reviewed the attached map of roadway and utility improvements.
For Summer 2014 (FY 15), the City had tentatively endorsed a plan to complete:
1) Morgan Street from W Fox Rd to Dolph Ct, with water, sanitary sewer, and storm sewer
improvements
2) Adrian Street from Blaine St to W Washington St with water, sanitary sewer, and storm sewer
improvements
3) W Ridge St from its western terminus to S Main St with water and sanitary sewer improvements
4) Heustis Street from E Orange St to E Fox Rd with water and sanitary sewer improvements
5) W Van Emmon between State St and S Main St
6) W Hydraulic from its western terminus to Morgan St
7) Various other storm sewer improvements adjacent to the areas above
At the September Public Works Committee meeting, the one variable on the above list was that we knew
the cost was far beyond our original budget amounts for the Road to Better Roads program. When the
program was created, we had expected to spend about $1,000,000 per year in total infrastructure
improvements. The items above have a total FY 15 estimated value of around $2,100,000 1
. At the time
of FY 14 budget approval, we inserted these costs into the FY 15 budget without a way to pay for them.
The intent was for the City to evaluate its ability to pay for these projects during the FY 15 budget
proposal, since the FY 13 audit would be completed and the FY 14 numbers would be more concrete.
In order to do $2,100,000 worth of Road to Better Roads projects, the City’s general fund would
have to take a major hit, water rates would have to go up more than 40%, and sewer rates would have to
go up more than 15% from FY 14 to FY 15. That would bring the water rates to $18 bi-monthly plus
$3.68 per 100 cubic feet and the sewer fees to $20.74 bi-monthly. Purely as an illustration, we have
attached a survey of surrounding municipalities and where these fees would rank us (labeled as $2.1m
RTBR option). Since the increase would be very steep and would put us at the top of the survey, we are
1 $900,000 in pavement and storm sewer costs, spread between MFT and City-wide Capital; $845,000 in the Water
Department; $343,000 in the Sewer Department
Memorandum
To: City Council
From: Bart Olson, City Administrator
CC:
Date: January 15, 2014
Subject: Road to Better Roads, 5-year plan update
proposing to scale back the FY 15 Road to Better Roads budget to $1.153m 2
. This results in a more
manageable increase in the water and sewer fees.
Within the pared back budget proposal, we would suggest dropping Morgan Street
improvements entirely, State Street pavement rehab, Heustis St sanitary sewer improvements and Adrian
Street sanitary sewer improvements. The resulting program would be:
1) W Hydraulic from its western terminus to Morgan St
2) Adrian Street from Blaine St to W Washington St with water and storm sewer improvements
3) Heustis Street from E Orange St to E Fox Rd with water improvements
4) State Street sanitary sewer improvements
5) Miscellaneous sanitary sewer improvements
In order to fund these improvements, the City’s annual water sales would have to increase 15% and the
sewer maintenance fees would have to increase 3% in FY 15. This would put increase the water rates
from $13.11 bi-monthly minimum plus $2.38 per 100 cubic feet to $14.00 bi-monthly minimum plus
$2.97 per 100 cubic feet. The sewer rates would have to be increased from $18 bi-monthly to $18.54 bi-
monthly. As mentioned above, we have attached a survey of surrounding municipalities. The FY 15
budget proposal is labeled as such.
FY 16 and FY 17 Road to Better Roads program
While not necessary to finalize in the FY 15 budget, we do need to make some decisions on the
FY 16 and FY 17 program in the near future. Specifically, the conversation revolves around the two
choices put forth by Public Works and Engineering – one that completes the five-year Road to Better
Roads program on its current schedule, or the second that basically inserts East Kendall, West Kendall
and Center Parkway as the only road improvements in FY 16 and FY 17. The road rating and the
amount of water main breaks on East and West Kendall warrant them to be the next roads completed,
however the cost of the improvements are so great we would only be able to do those two roadways for
two fiscal years (which means the entire City road system continues to deteriorate). East Kendall’s
pavement costs are only $311,000 but the water improvements are $787,000. Center Parkway’s
pavement costs are only $260,000 but the water improvements are $718,000. West Kendall’s pavement
costs are $700,000 and the water improvements are $1,450,000. Further, while we show these projects
as split between two fiscal years, they should be completed simultaneously to achieve the best possible
economies of scale.
As we’ve stated above in our brief analysis of water and sewer rates, funding these projects with
a water rate increase would cause the City’s water rate to increase dramatically. The City could wrap
these costs into a bond and pay for them incrementally over a 20-year period, but we have not
recommended that given the large amount of capital projects that still must be completed within that 20-
year period. To reiterate – no decision is necessary at this time on the plan for FY 16 or FY 17.
Recommendation
Staff recommends formal direction be given on the FY 15 Road to Better Roads program and
discussion on the FY 16 and FY 17 program.
2 $600,000 in pavement and storm sewer costs, spread between MFT and City-wide Capital; $353,000 in the Water
Department; $200,000 in the Sewer Department

Items to note – Capital Projects, Road to Better Roads
The City Council’s main focus for capital projects has been pavement rehabilitation via
the Road to Better Roads program. In summer 2013, the first year of the Road to Better Roads
program resulted in a $1.035 million total investment in roadway projects ($835,000 in pavement
improvements and $200,000 in watermain improvements). The annual funding goal last set by
the City Council in the FY 14 budget process was $1 million, even though we had benchmarked
an annual investment of $2 million in pavement improvements to keep our road system from
deteriorating over the next five years. During our FY 14 budget discussions, we finished our
analysis on the cost of underground improvements for the roadways selected as part of our
pavement-only analysis. As you may recall, in most years the cost of the underground
improvements exceeded the annual cost of the pavement improvements. Late in the budget
process, the decision was made to include the cost of the underground improvements and to
reevaluate our ability to pay for those underground improvements in the FY 15 budget proposal.
A discussion on the FY 15 Road to Better Roads program is attached to this memo; these
materials were included in the January 2014 Public Works Committee meeting packet. At that
meeting, the Public Works Committee had directed the FY 15 Road to Better Roads program
discussion to the January 28, 2014 City Council meeting. Thus, certain references to the FY 15
Road to Better Roads program within this budget proposal may be outdated by the time the FY
15 budget is approved by the City Council in March or April 2014.
In order to properly consider the FY 15 and beyond Road to Better Roads program, it is
important to revisit the basic information provided by the City’s pavement management program
report, as completed by EEI in February 2013:
1) The City has 107 center line miles of roadway in the City. Out of 107 miles, 25 miles
are in subdivisions that the City has not yet accepted or that were not included in the
study.
2) The City’s combined roadway score in February 2013 was 82. Score descriptions
are:
a. 100 – 90 Excellent.
i. No rehabilitation is required at this time.
ii. Roadways typically age from 100 to 90 within the first year after their
completion.
b. 89 – 80 Very Good.
i. Typically, these roadways function efficiently however, minor
preventative maintenance, such as patching or crack sealing ($1/lf),
may be required.
ii. Roadways typically age from 89 to 80 from year 1 to year 3.
c. 79 – 70 Good.
i. To help prevent major structural damage, preventative maintenance
methods such as crack sealing ($1/lf) and patching ($5/sf) should be
provided to extend the pavement life.
ii. Roadways typically age from 79 to 70 from year 3 to year 6.
d. 69 – 60 Fair.
i. Typically, pavements in this category can be affordably resurfaced ($3
to $5/sf) to raise the Rank to acceptable levels. Note: resurfacing a
roadway does not always mean the Rank will be raised to 100 since
only one category will have the Rank improved. In order to achieve a
Ranking of 100 a complete reconstruct of the roadway would be
required.
ii. Roadways typically age from 69 to 60 from year 6 to year 13.
e. 59 – 40 Poor.
i. These roadways are also in more need of resurfacing ($4 to $8/sf), and
typically cost more to repair than roadways ranked "Fair".
ii. Roadways typically age from 59 to 40 from year 13 to year 18.
f. 40 – 10 Very Poor.
i. These pavements range in Rank from 10 to 40. These roadways exhibit
high distress levels, and standard overlays may not correct the
problems. $8 to $15/sf.
ii. Roadways typically age from 40 to 10 from year 18 to year 23.
3) The breakdown of each ranking category for all 82 miles of accepted roadways are as
follows:
4) In order to keep the City’s roadway score at 82 between 2013 and 2018, the City was
to spend $2.1m on pavement improvements each year. When the City decided it
could only allocate $1m annually for pavement improvements, we expected the
roadway score to drop to 79 by 2018. With the current proposal to further reduce the
pavement improvement budget, we expect the City’s roadway score to drop to around
76 or 77 by 2018. However, that score would not include the newly improved
Cannonball Trail, Game Farm Road, Somonauk Road, and Kennedy Road adjacent to
Autumn Creek. The following scenarios were presented as part of the Pavement
Management Study discussion in February 2013.
5) Finally, the conversation on how to fund the Road to Better Roads program at various
funding levels was also discussed in FY 14. Given the breakdown of lane miles per
ranking category discussed in #3 above, that the City has 107 miles of roadway on
full buildout, and the average lifespan of a roadway is 20 years, we concluded that the
City will need to address miles of roadway maintenance each year. Skipping a year
on maintenance only pushes those costs to a future year, and into a potentially much
higher cost bracket. While the tendency may be to issue a bond for rehabilitation
projects, the reality is that the interest spent in the first few years of debt service
payments rivals the principal amounts and the interest spent in the years after the
project completed could be allocated to more maintenance projects. The point was
raised at the January Public Works Committee that a bond could be authorized by
referendum, which would result in payment via property taxes which may be tax
deductible. This benefit should be weighed against the additional incremental interest
costs.

Water Fund
Rate Recommendation
If water usage is equal to FY 14 projections each year through FY 19
Rates must go up 15% per year in FY 15, FY 16, and FY 17
Rates would be 0% per year in FY 18 and FY 19
FY 14 was a drought year, resulting in lower usage than normal
More likely scenario is usage will increase moderately, resulting in modest annual total revenue increases
Water Fund
Rate Recommendation
Current rate:
$13.11 bi-monthly up to 350 cubic feet
$2.38 per 100 cubic feet thereafter
FY 15 recommendation:
$14 bi-monthly up to 350 cubic feet
$2.97 per 100 cubic feet thereafter
For average user, results in $10 increase per bi-
monthly billing cycle per month ($60 annual)
For minimum user, results in $1.78 per bi-
monthly billing cycle per month ($11 annual)
Water Fund
