Village of Lombard Legistar System

Burg reviewed the handouts and the proposed contract.

Davis talked about West Nile Virus. Culex feed 80% on birds which makes for an

increased transmission chance.

Loebach asked if the participation from DuPage County will go on for a few years. Davis

responded that it would, however, the grant is only for municipalities that come ask for it.

There was discussion regarding floodwater mosquitos vs. vector borne mosquitos and

what the proposal addresses. The committee reviewed the proposal, recommendations

from Davis and the response from Clarke.

$1,000 has been added for fish control.

There was discussion regarding briquettes. Vectolex is not as good because it washes

out, however, larger briquettes won't fit through the tube used to dispense them. There

was also general discussion regarding catch basins locations. Davis pointed out that

the one's to be concerned about are the one's off road. Loebach stated that he hopes

we don't lose focus on getting the locations of those catch basins.

#8-It would be more expensive because they don't have ATV's.

Burg explained to the committee that the Mr. Kuene said he would give us a call only if

there's a positive. Same Davis clarified that they're hoping to get a member of

Lombard's staff able to access the County's information via web site and IDPH is setting

up a New Jersey light trap in Lombard also.

#9 Burg explained that Clarke will charge us more to do counts after sprays because

they won't have traps in town. Loebach suggested they use the truck tach for how many

miles they sprayed. Maybe they could give us photocopies of those. If nothing else it

will alleviate any question if they're going to fast.

Loebach stated that in the long run, if we could create a mosquito abatement district I'd

rather see an administrator with staff. It seems like if you want to get greater confidence

in your program it needs to be staff. Burg commented that you would get the best

measures and the best pricing.

There was general discussion regarding sprayings.

Burg recommended the contract as proposed. We significantly cut the contract. It was

$117,000 last year. Davis pointed out that the opportunity to have good information is

important. Loebach commented that we may have to look at the mechanics of how they

spray. He also asked if we can lay out an actual route for them to do. Burg responded

that they have it laid out in quadrants, however, in the contract it's a minimum of 5 miles,

so there is some flexibility. Davis suggested that when you have positives you do want

to do a 2.5 sq mile area. Adams suggested the possibility of doing a targeted mailing in

an area. Davis also informed the committee that if there are a bunch of early positives

in one location, DuPage County and/or Department of Public Health will be out there to

look at it.

GG. Educational Recycling Grants

Request for approval of Educational Recycling Grants for Lombard School District #44

in the amount of $6,500.00 and for Chicagoland Academy in the amount of $1,620.00.

Jendras stated that she has a problem with this one because they asked for it before

and now they're asking again and it's a lot of money. She wouldn't mind a one time

thing for field trips, but would like to see something new. Schukat and Lyons agreed.

Jendras stated that sheI would like to see different projects come out of the grant

requests. Lyons doesn't agree with the busing and field trips. They already scheduled

this.

Schukat made a motion to deny the grant request, seconded by Jendras.

Loebach agreed with not wanting to fund an ongoing response, but reminded the

committee members that we've gone after these people several times to put in

applications. You have to be careful how we change parameters. Jendras responded

that she doesn't have a problem with the field trips, she just doesn't want to see the

same thing. The schools should come up with a unique idea. Loebach reiterated that

he's concerned that your sending a strong message that we say we're not going to do it

twice. If that's our intent then we need to state that clearly. This request is for a

different class. Adams pointed out all the software the grants have bought. When you

buy material things, you have them. Most of the schools are recycling now. Jendras

stated that this is something that the school was doing anyway, it's not something they

added to enhance the education. Loebach explained that we need to make our stance

logical and transparent. We never said it's a one time thing. Maybe you fund the

amount above the last grant because it's an expanded program. Tell them that we won't

fund the ongoing expense, but we'll pay for the expansion. I don't want to give anyone

who takes the effort to come to us a bloody nose. Burg added that it's good to explain

why we won't fund all of it, otherwise we're apt to get very little response. Adams

pointed out that they're starting to run out of innovative things. Jendras stated that she

doesn't want them to assume that every year, she wants them to come up with new

ideas. Adams suggested that we give them 3/5 of it to cover the grades that didn't have

that opportunity before. Loebach agreed that is rational at this time, but do we orphan

any programs that need funding on an ongoing bases? All we can say is they've asked

us for the money and we need to be fair and reasonably consistent. Each year those

kids are going to see something different. Adams explained that then next year we

would only fund the first graders. Jendras reiterated that she sees this as an ongoing

expense that the school district has already committed to doing. Loebach suggested

informing them that due to the ongoing expense next year it would be declined, or like

Clark suggested, you fund 1/5 of it for the new kids coming in. I want to have an idea of

what we're saying to them. Burg suggested that he explain in the letter that we

encourage you to explore other things. jl-transportation is a legitimate quotient.

The original motion was withdrawn.

It was moved by Schukat, seconded by Jendras, that this matter be tabled. The

motion carried by the following vote:

Loebach, Lyons, Jendras and Schukat

Lyons informed the committee that she called the school to get more information about

their program.

Lyons made a motion to table the grant request, seconded by Schukat.

Jendras stated that she didn't have a problem with this one. Lyons said she would like

to know if it's accredited. Loebach pointed out that we've never stated that private

schools have to be accredited. I think it's not the best use of the money but we've done

it for almost every school in town. We need to be sensitive and careful because what

they're school is about is not what we are examining. We are fair to Montini and Sacred

Heart. Lyons thought it would be nice if they gave us a brochure about their school.

Loebach suggested that we should ask them to forward information and a letter with a

little background.

Materials Recycling-Lyons, Chairperson

The new members are very enthused and motivated. The Subcommittee discussed

what the budget is, what the costs would be and how the costs will be incurred. Lyons

read the mission statement. The committee members are making several phone calls to

surrounding communities regarding electronics recycling. There will be an electronics

collection Saturday, June 5 at United Recycling Industries.

One of committee members is also a member of the Lombard Garden Club. They are

currently collecting athletic shoes and will be having a trash chic, recycled fashion show

at the Community building April 23rd at 1 p.m. They are collecting used books. any

condition athletic shoes, laptop batteries, etc.

Multi-Family/Commercial Recycling - Loebach, Chairperson

The subcommittee discussed the first draft of the survey introduction letter. The

tentative time frame is to have letter to ECC next month and do actual survey in May.

We'd like to have a better prospective on what we're trying to put together before we

approach Yorktown.
