Discussion:
1. Sanders Court - J.T. reported that he had gone into the manhole, there
is no bottom. Water sits in a gravel trench about 3 ft. higher than the
basement of the home. This water is causing sump pump at the
Herron residence to run most of the time. Bill Schmanski suggest to
divert the water away from the house. J.T. will try this. If this is
effective they will dig up front yard and fill with clay. This is
more cost efficient than a storm sewer. Ron & Cathy Herron did agree
to try this. J.T. would be able to do it this week.
2. F. E. Wheaton Sidewalk - Jeff Brown has asked for consideration on
the sidewalk on both north and south side street. Cost of the
sidewalk is $12 a linear foot. He has 1700 ft. of side walk he would
have to put in, totaling approximately $21,000. Ordinance states that
sidewalk must be on both side of every right-a-way. Inland is doing
the pavement and will need to be in on discussion.
3. Tree Policy - Tabled until Jeff Spang returns from vacation.
4. IDOT Permit Resolution - Countryside Parkway - Fitness Center - Jim
N. is requesting Mayor Bob Johnson to enter into agreement with the
State to add-on to road. Cost is Approximately $26,000. Bring to
COW on Thursday July 20, 1995.
5. SE Sewer Interceptor Fee Collection - In the Country Hills area Jim N.
said City has started collecting $125 P.E. fee. Barb has covered 19
lots. Plots that have already been finalized will not be charged this
amount. City needs to set up a separate bank account for this money

in case they need to do reimbursements later.
6. Posting Cannonball Trail - City would like to post a sign on Cannonball
Trail limiting the weight to 6 Ton. This would force semi-trucks to stay
on main highways. J.T. believes that Kennedy is already posted. If
not Kennedy should also be posted.
7. Cal Pedersen's Sidewalk - Jim N. thought City should pay them
$4600. This is less than half of the cost. J. 1 . measured the sidewalk
to ensure the amounts.
8. May Water Report - Everyone was in agreement. Report looked good.
9. March, April & May Building Reports - Everyone in agreement. Report
looked good.
10. SSES Presentation - Deuchler - Philippe Moreau stated that we have
some problems. Elizabeth & Hydraulic is a main problem. Philippe
estimated approximately $700,000 worth of repairs. Alot of the work
can be done the Public Works Department. Manhole rehabing is
estimated at 350,000. This should be done by specialists. $1 .3
million for storm sewer repairs/rehabing and on going maintenance
such as root killing, inflow, and extending down spouts. Philippe
recommends to replace the storm sewers on Hydraulic, and spend the
budgeted $10,000 to do a study to indicate to City where the
intersect lines should go.
11. MIT Funding for Maintenance - Bill Schmanski to being to Council next
week. $68,000 for 1995 for resurfacing of Hydraulic, S. Main, and
Park Streets. $3800 is acceptable fee. Layout and inspecting.
$3350 based on current estimates. IDOT needs to see obligated
funds. Amounts to be filled in at COW on Thursday July 20, 1995.
12. Countryside Detention - Jim N., Bill S., Dan, & engineer suggest the
Drywell solution. There will need to be a 6" obstruction around the
drywell. Jim N. propose a test, open a hydrant, if the drywell can
handle the watee. The reason for the drywell is due to the amount of
sand in the ground in Countryside Center.
13. Joint Sanitary District Meeting - Mayor Bob Johnson suggest Art P. to
schedule a meeting with the Sanitary Board. Two administrators
would need to be present.
14. Additional Business
Phyllis from the Health Department had reported to Jim N. that Lydia's
Motel was leaking raw sewage. Phyllis request that City send Lydia's
a letter requesting them to hook up to City water and sewer. Jim S.
Art P. and Bert C were concerned with the health problems. Bert C.
was wondering why the Health Department couldn't close Lydia's or
force them to Book up to city water and sewer. Jim N. is going to
contact Phyllis on this.

Kiddie Campus has requested a one year letter of credit on the
sidewalk. They would like to wait one year before having the sidewalk
done.
Torch for the monument is being rebuilt. Bert C. would like the
American Legion to clean the monument, redo and update the names.
J.T. said he felt the Legion would do this. The torch has been
refirbished. J.T. would like to put the torch about 10 to 12ft. up
on the front of the monument. Torch needs to be lit all the time.
Gafney has filed a law suit. Jim N. said City will offer to pay $2200 to
have lights removed it Gafney will drop law suit. Jim N. will talk to
Dan on this.
Water Main - 1 bidder - Jerry's Septic & Sewer. Engineer estimated
$56,221 - Jerry's estimated $63,056. J.T. said he is looking into the
price differences. One - Jerry's quoted sod at $5 - 6 a sq. ft. J.T. will
check around for better pricing.
Art P. would like to change the rules for people with pools. J.T.
doesn't feel the city should fill pools. Needs to be clear that there
must be a fence around the pool.
