Public Works Minutes 1996 06-03-96 t UNITED CITY OF THE VILLAGE OF YORKVILLE Committee Minutes - Public Works Date of Meeting: June 3, 1996 Location: 111 W. Fox Time Convened: 6:40 P.M. Time Adjourned: 8:45 P.M. Attendees: J.T. Johnson Jerry Lynch Art Prochaska Jim Stafford Joe Wywrot Discussion: 1 .) MFT Yearly Maintenance Agreement - J.T. said the $31,989 for the MFT fund will be back dated. Prochaska and Stafford thought a resolution for this was already passed. They will check the minutes to find out if this has been done. 2.) Street Work for 96/97 - Wywrot recommends Blaine, Morgan, Adrian, and part of State. State Street has to be worked in with the storm sewer project. There will be alot of curb and gutter work. Wywrot feels the Public Works Department can do the smaller sections but the 50-100 feet sections should be contracted out. J.T. said he could cut and patch Countryside Parkway where the water main broke and make it last until next year. Heustis and Mill are not in really bad shape. The sewer under Mill needs to be redone. It was a sewer dug by hand, very few manholes, should wait to redo street until sewer is done to avoid tearing up the road twice. Prochaska wants to make sure the water problems on Center and Liberty gets addressed. Every time it rains the water just sits there. Prochaska said the road was repaved approximately two years ago but the sinkhole is back. J.T. said the SSES does call for some repair in that area. The City might be able to get DCCA grant to do these repairs done. Wywrot will talk with Nanninga to find out what has been done. Take to COW for discussion. 3.) Projects - Updates - Elizabeth Street is on hold until some of the water is gone from the hole. J.T. said the weather has been a real problem. He is hoping to start working on it again on June 5, 1996, weather permitting. Water Tower Painting - Wywrot has requested pictures of the interior. Repairs to the interior need to be done. Repairs have already been started. J.T. is hoping to be able to chlorinate the inside of the tank by Saturday. Once the inside has been chlorinated if he needs to fill the tank half way he can. This would be in the case of an emergency. J.T. would also like to put a ad in the paper putting a sprinkling ban on until the tower is completed. Water pressures are fluctuation. Everyone will have good pressure the pressure gauge will not drop below 20PSI. He would like to avoid any unneccessary water usage. J.T. feels the tower should be completed within three to four weeks if everything goes well. �n•,� Pi � .. Ok - Page 2 - 4.) Drug/Alcohol Testing Costs - Drug and alcohol testing for CDL drivers was mandatory at the the beginning of this year. The cost for the first year is $1600 plus $57 per person. The Council needs to decide on a policy on treatment/counseling plans and what they are willing to pay if someone should need treatment. The current insurance covers 80/20 up to a certain amount. A suggestion to have an ordinance for drug and alcohol abuse program was made. Prochaska would like to talk with Nanninga. Stafford feels this is something that needs to be put into place. Stafford would like anyone without a CDL licenses to start working on getting them. The City pays for this. J.T. thinks everyone has already set dates to take the written exam. Need to discuss insurance options. Take to COW. 5.) Leaf Burning - Stafford talked with Nanninga. Need to get answers from Dan on leaf burning. Checking on fine. There is a lot in Countryside Center with debris and people are riding dirt bikes there. 6.) Additional Business - The City has been asked by Engler to move up the Game Farm Road water project to this year. It was originally scheduled to be done next year, Van Emmon was scheduled to be done this year. Prochaska feels we should do the Game Farm project if Van Emmon can withstand to wait another year. Prochaska would like to know what IDOTs plans are. Might be able to do some repair work in conjunction with them. City needs to find how this will affect the five year plan or if it will affect the plan and the cost. $134,000 has been estimated to do repairs. If the water main doesn't go in it will hold up the new high school. Prochaska would like to get a recommendation from Wywrot and J.T. Bring proposal from Pavia-Marting to next Public Works meeting. Livable Neighborhood Seminar - This seminar is being offered at College of Dupage by The America's Public Works Association. It will be offering suggestions on designs of residential neighborhoods. Helps with streets and traffic flows. The cost is $40 per person. Stafford suggested Wywrot attend. Wywrot will also check with Graff. This maybe something he would like to attend. Computer - Wywrot has three quotes. Adtech has recommended going with one vendor. It will cost about $350 more to go with one vendor. Wywrot called CompUSA but they would not quote exactly what he wanted. Quotes came in under $10,000. Need to go to COW. Vote on at City Council. SSES Report - Wywrot recommends four things. 1. Read the report if you haven't already. 2. implement alot of recommendations of the report. Need to require some of this. Need to get interceptor done. 3. Get a rate study report to build $2.6 million project and other projects. and 4. Get a proposal to start plans for this. Could increase tap on fees but need to focus on increasing the size of the sanitary plant. Can increase fees but if there is nowhere for it to go then there will not be any tap on fees. Should discuss some of these things with the Yorkville Bristol Sanitary District. Deuchler is suggesting an ZO'd V60=Lo 96-IT- LAC - Page 3 - interceptor south of the river branching off under the river east. Wywrot needs to talk with Nanninga to find out what work on this issue has been done. Brian Sorenson received his Class 2 Certification. Minutes by: Mollie Anderson ZO'd V9b=LO 96-I1-Lne
