PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE REPORT

Alderman Funkhouser made a motion to approve an agreement for Consulting Engineer Services for the
water works system master plan between the City and Engineering Enterprises,Inc. and authorize the
Mayor and City Clerk to execute; seconded by Alderman Colosimo.
Alderman Colosimo does support this plan. The City is spending close to a quarter million dollars.He
asked if some money could be recouped for this research from communities wanting to join into this
cooperative agreement.Alderman Teeling asked if the City has looked into the water conservation
component. City Administrator Olson said that is a big component of the overall study.Alderman Teeling
and City Administrator Olson discussed committee options to oversee conservation issues.Alderman
Colosimo does not believe the City should have involvement through the green committees.Alderman
Funkhouser doesn't want a separate committee but would prefer the matter be handled through Public
Works.Alderman Frieders doesn't support doing this under the City's umbrella.He hopes this report will
allow the City to keep an open mind to conservation alternatives. These types of plans can increase the
amount of rain water back to the soil as opposed to sending it through the sewer system. Mayor Golinski
mentioned the green committee is active at the Yorkville Congregational Church.

Railroad Quiet Zone Initiative

a. Agreement for Professional Services—BNSF Quiet Zone Study
b. Agreement for Professional Services—Illinois Railnet Quiet Zone Study
Alderman Funkhouser made a motion to approve an agreement from professional services for BNSF quiet
zone study between the City and Engineering Enterprises,Inc. and an agreement for professional services
for Illinois Railnet quiet zone study between the City and Engineering Enterprises,Inc. and authorize the
Mayor and City Clerk to execute;seconded by Alderman Kot.
The Council discussed the need, potential cost, and availability of grants to proceed with
recommendations provided by this proposed study. The majority of the Council felt that it is pointless to
spend the City's money to analyze a project that the City might never be able to afford. Even with the
existence of grants,the City would still be responsible for part of the installation of controlled crossing
gates needed to replace the train horns.Also,the City would be responsible for the upkeep and
maintenance of the gates.
