DISCUSSION:
Procedure for delinquent water billings was discussed in regards to notification of landlords. A
complaint was received by Alderman Prochaska from a tenant in regards to his landlord being informed
that his payment for his water bill was late. Don Peck informed the committee that the landlord is
informed as the landlord is ultimately responsible for the payment.
Don Peck suggested installing a Yield sign at the corner of Ridge and Main as opposed to a stop sign,as a
yield sign can be installed without a traffic survey.
Don has was informed of a basement where water is infiltrating and found the storm sewer is above the
basement level. Don has investigated the situation and found no apparent problem that the city can
correct.
Don informed the committee that "unofficially" no grant is available for the extension of the
sewer/water for the City of Yorkville.
The hydraulic pump on the street sweeper needs to be replaced at a cost of approximately$1,900.00.
Don recommended getting this fixed and there is money in the budget for repairs.
The state bid for trucks will be available in July/August. Don is going to see if the city can get one or
two trucks.
Don presented the committee with additional paving information which would take care of all 5's and
Ts except for State Street and south Main Street from Hydraulic to Fox. Don is not recommended these
two streets,$110.00 a foot for repairing. These repairs would have to be done in conjunction with storm
sewer work. Don will be going out for bid on the additional 12,600 feet of road.
Bill Baird informed the committee of a 50/50 grant due July 1 for more money for the park.
Development of Blackberry Creek was discussed. Don felt that development along the creek would be
more realistic than along the river.
There was a question regarding Land Cash.
The trees around the monument are dying. Don suggested replacing them with yews. The American
Legion may donate money to help pay for the replacement.
We will be discussing a traffic study at future meetings.
