The minutes were approved as presented.
New Business:
1. PW 2019-71 Snow Operations Report
Mr. Dhuse said 60 tons of salt were used already since the early snow and that pure salt is being used
since the brineholders are not installed in all the trucks yet. He said some trucks are still equipped for
leaf hauling.
2. PW 2019-72 East Orange Street Water Main Improvements – Change Order No. 1
Mr. Sanderson said this project is nearly complete with just two punchlist/restoration items to finish in
the spring. This is a balancing change order and he added that some additional pavement work had
been authorized by the City without a formal change order. This is an increase of $55,020.42, however,
less than the amount authorized by the Council. The committee was OK with this action and it moves
forward to City Council.

This is a budgeted truck purchase for the Sewer Department and the truck is already outfitted with
tools. The previous utility truck was given to the Water Department. The Committee approved this
purchase.
4. PW 2019-74 Raintree Village Subdivision Units 4, 5, and 6 – Stop Sign Analysis
Since some construction has resumed here, Mr. Sanderson said the engineers looked at the need for
stop signs and made some recommendations based on standard criteria. Some signs had also been
proposed in the original plans.
Old Business: None
Additional Business:
Ms. Willrett added that the Kendall County TAP grant will be available again and applications are due
