Discussion:
1 .) Water Dept. Truck Box - Water Department would like to get a new
truck body for their 1989 3/4 ton pick up truck. Brian Sorensen has
received a quote from Sauber Manufacturing. The truck body is made
of fiberglass and can be moved from this truck to any 3/4 ton pick up
truck. The cost of the fiberglass body is $9787.00. This is the same
type of truck body Northern Illinois Gas uses. The Water
Department use their trucks for approximately eight years. Stafford
would like Sorensen to get a bid on a steel box from Aurora Truck
Body.
2.) Employee Pay Scale - Nanninga, J.T., Sleezer, & Dhuse workqd on
descriptions for MW1 & MW2. There is concern with the impact on
the budget the first year. Mayor Johnson would like to see the
percentages of the increases. Bring to next Administration Meeting
on January 3, 1996.
3.) Burning Ordinance - Committee has a copy of Montgomery's &
Oswego's burning ordinance. Concerned with who to contact about
pick-up. T currently has a contract to do three leaf pick-ups per
year. Stafford would like to talk with Montgomery and Oswego to
find out how they handle their pick-ups. Mayor Johnson would like
to have Dan look over these two ordinances and make suggestions.
Bring back to next Public Works meeting on January 15, 19 6

January 16, 1996 to January 17, 1996.

to $194,000. Schmanski has researched this and this is the right
range. This is about $60,000 over budget. City will need to budget
for this next year. It is possible to work it out to pay part on this
budget year and part on next budget year. First payment would
probably be due around May 1 . From start to finish, the job should
take about two months. Schmanski recommends setting June 1 as a
completion date. Send out to bid and take to COW.
6.) South Interceptor Recapture Ordinance - Schmanski recommends
setting up an ordinance for this. There is 85 feet of sewer that needs
to be ran through rough terrain. Line will go from Hydraulic up to Rt.
71 . Up the ComEd easement on the western side Wildwood
Subdivision. Rough terrain includes three or four ravines, a creek, and
railroad tracks. City has started collecting recapture fees for Country
Hills Subdivision. City has collected approximately $7500 so far and
recommends that this money go towards a study to find out how
much it will cost to run the sewer line. Schmanski recommends that
Jim Olson's bid of $6516 be accepted to do the study. Take to
COW.
7.► Additional Business
Future Agenda - Truck Box. Bid on basic fiberglass box. List extra's
and costs, and installation separately.
Snowplowing on Blackberry Drive - There should be a designated area
in every cul-de-sac for the snow. This needs to be checked into.
Street Names that will need to be changed - This should be done and
ready for August 1996 when the phone number changes go into
effect. Should yet a list of streets that need to be changed and the
numbers that will need to be changed. Rt's 34, 71, and 126 also
need to be named.
Street Lights - J.T. said that the frost is down 2 feet in the ground. It
is not usually that deep. He feels it will be March before they will be
able to finish them. Stafford would like the piles of dirt pick-up.
Well by Eldimain. J.T. needs to contact the EPA to do further
protection. J.T. is going to talk to Layne-Western about doing a
further study. Yorkville has all the easements to hook up this well.
J.T. to talk to Layne-Western and get some figures.
Bob Morrison's Sewer - J.T. has a check for Mr. Morrison. City has
letters from two previous property owners stating to give the money
to Mr. Morrison. Nanninga to talk to Dan to find out if this needs to
go to COW.
Callmer would like J.T. to check on the Deer Crossing signs that are
missing. He feels the signs are a good warning.
Fox Industrial Park Signs - Waiting for bids. One bid is in. Prochaska
- Page 3 -
thinks that as long as you document that you did request bids from
three different places and they do not respond you can go ahead
without waiting for all the bids to come in. Check with Dan.
Prochaska is looking for direction from the Committee for the Rec
Board. Cleaning Service is less expensive and does a better job. But
some of this stuff should be done under general maintenance. If
there is a problem it should be taken to J.T. If J.T. can not resolve
the issue then it should go to Nanninga. Once a Rec Director is hired
there will be a chain of command and things will run smoother. First
interviews start January 16, 1996. Rec Director job description needs
to be voted on. Take to COW.
