Discussion:
1.) Septic Problem—Dave Ligons,329 E Van Emmon—J.T.has talked with Bill Delmer. Detmer feels
the sewer has failed Detmer said that if the septic system needs to be added on to then it has failed.
Ligon has spoke to the Health Department,they say it is not a failed system. J.T.said that Detmer
would be ok with it as long as the City gets something from the Health Department in writing. Ligon
now have a family and they need a larger system. The septic that is currently there was supposed to be
for a three-bedroom home. System was not designed correctly. There is seepage at the end of the
system They have been given a 30-day notice. Septic was sized by the size of the property. Ligions
has spoke with a plumber and there is no way for him to hook onto City sewer without putting in a lift
station. That would be an additional expense of$6,000 to$8,000,above and beyond hooking into the
City sewer. He has an ejector pump in the basement The first floor of the house is only 14 inches
above the sewer. An ejector pump does not pump sewage. The sewer Tine should be 18 inches below
ground J.T.would rather hook everybody up to City sewer because he does not like septic systems.
Ligon does not plate on building on the spare lot It is only a back yard. He did build a shed on that
lot He only plans on expanding the septic. The system is worldng but it is not up to capacity. They
are within the City limits. if the septic ever fails again then they will have to hook onto City sewer.
We do not want to set a precedence here. The idea of the ordinance was that if the septic had to be dug
up and completely redone then it would probably cost about the same amount of money to hook onto
City sewer. Take to COW. Committee recommends expanding the field
2.) Proposed Greenbriar Special Service Area—J.T.and Wywrot put together some numbers for unit two
and three for the SSA. It is usually based on the property,home,townhouse,etc. As the subdivision is
built out then it should avaiage out Lots are accessed at a lower amount This shows up on the tax
bill. If we do as SSA,the City will be fronting the money this year. There are 138 lots in unit two and
three. There are only 27 lots left out. Take to COW with recommendation. State of Illinois will came
in and shock the pond for free.
3.) State&Morgan Hid Results—Bid opening was in late April. This included water main,storm sewer,
and street. Bid came in at$265,000 if we do it as two separate projects. Water main and storm sewer
and then streets. We have considered having City crews do some of the work. We cut the contract in
half Wywrot would not recommend taking away more then one per contract J.T.will need to
purchase some supplies that will cost approximately 54,000. It will still help to reduce some of the
cost. We will need to do what they need us to do when they need it done. Wywrot figures there are
about 15 culverts that will need to be put in. We are putting in swails now. We will need to
coordinate. Wywrot suggest having City crews do the water main and let Aurora Blacktop do the
swans. This will help bring cost to about$255,000. We only have$223,000 budgeted. We will need
to come up with the money. Wywrot thiuks we night be able to use some tax money from Remline.
Bring to COW. If the money is there then do it
4.) Forma Amoco Gas Station—207 E.Main-Basically Amoco requested that the City sign a three party
agreement with them tit State and us. There is a..house approximately 250 feet down stream with a
private well. We have received another request to sign the three parry agreement or the offer will
-1- ,
expire as of the end of July. We do want an analysis done on this property. Table further discussion
until we hear back from Delta.
5.) Sidewalk Replecamoul—Paul&Karcu Hurt—They have a short section of sidewalk that has settled
over the utilities. Her brother only lives a few blocs away and he was having a patio put in so she got
a really good price. She would like us to rebate her back once the sidewalk is installed- The total cost
is$120, Sidewalk replacement is only for replacement. It is not for new construction. There is a
piece of property in Countryside Center where there is a gap. Did not know whom the property
belonged to until years later. We need to find out what the cost will be. J.T.does feel it was the City's
fault.
6.) Blackberry Creek FloodPlain Study—Caumonball Hill Subdivision—working on the evaluations.
Even though we have new evaluations we can not use them. Wywrot would recommend we use the
1989 study because it is more accumto.
7.) Lease Agreement with Inland Re.Brush—Cost per month will be$166.67. Lease is good for one year.
J.T.would I&e to take it to COW. We will have to have someone come in smd chip. it cost 5173 per
hour. J.T,would like to have him come twice per year. Once in mid summer and once in the fall. He
can chip 100 cubic feet per day. We can not sell the chip because it will not be steraJi7ed. We will
have to go out and turn it over every few weeks. F.E.Wheaton is looking to purchase more land from
Inland. We have a letter that we are handing out We are not going to fence the area oft We will
fence it if we need to. The area will need to be policed. Take to COW
8.) Chemical Cost for Sewer—1999-2000 This is the chemical that YBSU wants us to use• Miff got the
pricing: It is$2,293.50. It is a citrus degreaser. Money has been budgeted. I.T.need Sowinkski's
signature.
9.) Revised Resolution for WT Material Purchases—This use to be from January w December.It is being
changed to be the same are our budget year. Hopefully then the Wr money will make more sense.
$14,050 was for salt. The new hd T amount will be$35,230. Take to COW. This will be in
resolution form
10.)IDOT Signal Upgrade Route 34 and Center Parkway—J.T.got a call from IDOT. The traffic signal
controller is not Y2K compliant. If we only need to make it Y2K then it will cost approximately
$2,600, if it has to be redone then it will cost more. J.T.bas budgeted$3,000. We will approve as a
not to exceed$3,000
11.)Riverfront Fence—Change Order##I—We got two more prices on fencing. Two post per panel or
bolted. Bolted would probably look better. The two post would be nice if you needed to get a backhoe
in there. Cost is$1,380 for the bolted fencing and S 1,550 for the two-post type. We bave to either
accept or reject Mayor Prochaska feels strongly that a portion of the fence needs to be removable.
The concrete portion goes down 12 iuches. Using the bolts,we will need a combination of sleeves and
bolts. Sowinski feels that if we are spending 522,000 they should throw in the bolts. Looking to have
30 removable feet of fencing. Sowinski suggest 20 feet. They wanted to be able to have flue people
goMug at one time. Sowinski suggest that if Riverfront wants to pay then difference then ok,
otherwise we can not do it. Mayor Prochaska will talk with Riverhnnt
12.)Additional Business—Garbage Contract—Dockstader commented that this is the last year of our
cturent garbage contract Namninga has been in ocmftct with Waste Management. Dockstader would
like to see some numbers. We need to find out what they are willing to do. Montgomery has a yard
waste area,this is where the residents can take lawn waste. Leaves and grass can be put in cardboard
boxes or in Kraft bags. There are more major companies that service this area now. Your do not want
to go with a smaller company. The City will always own their garbage. If a company was to illegally
dump the State can come in and access fines for clean up to the City. Dockstader will talk with
Nanninga. We need to decide what we want Do we warn more yard waste,do we want one 64 gallon
container or more? We need to have some ideas.
Curb Sweeping—Balts Slot Cleaning will do for$75 per hour. Waste Management is at$78 per hour
and Kendall County Concrete is at S75 per hour plus travel ximoa J.T.would like to do now. He
usually tries to have this done when it is a little wet to help keep down some of the dust. They only do
curbed areas. We have a lot more areas to do this year. J.T.will pursue with Kendall County
Concrete.
-2-
Fountain in Park by Beecher—Cost to tun a one inch copper line
would cost l . W wool ly have
trench it out and bury it. To use one and one half inch copper
but this would do everything. We would have to rent a trencher for the day. Itwould be used to water
the fields to help keep the dust down. Could put in a farm hydrant with a one-inch line. If we wanted
to at some point put in concessions with bathrooms then we need the one and one half inch line. This
needs to be discussed with the Park Board. When J.T.gets the cost together he will fax it over to
Swithin.
Don Gatbe—J.T.has been U*g to contract Gabe. There is no answer. J.T.will try calling later in
the evening. Cost is around$4,000. It is not a good idea to run one line for one home.
Beecher Roof—We have been calling. They were going to come during the time of the Hastert
Reception. We asked them to hold off and now it seems that we are having a problem getting their'
back.
Hamilton—They have contracted out the landscaping. If we do not get anymore rain,the Landscape
Company will be in at the mid of this week or the boginning of next week. The job was done in March
and we have gotten the nm around. J.T.will stay on top of this.
