MM: error on the #11 warrant. But they can justify about anything on Warrant 5. |
JJ: talked to Pam Schau about Figure One Site Map. This would be helping 16th street |
and 4 Seasons Park. DT: this is just to advise to us of what is going on. re: school bus |
accident. This is just informational. We will revisit this when school board is ready to |
address. JS: I would not have this driveway access so close to the intersection. JJ: |
they are proposing closing the center drive. JS: I am talking about the one that would |
be closest to the signal. DT: This committee will address this in the future with the |
school board. |

GG: discussion please. There is a fire hydrant in front of 220 Eisenhower Lane/why are |
people parking there in the first place? BP: The only person being affected is this man |
with his business. |

recommended to the Board of Trustees for approval. The motion carried by a |
voice vote |

Taken out of order: resident in attendance: Paula Cismesia, 1160 Michelle Lane, |
Lombard. |
Cismesia: Submitted a petition from the residents. First year of ball games at the park. |
Talked with J.J. about the situation. He posted temporary "No Parking". Now we have |
petitioned for permanent "No Parking". |
JJ: this is a rather unique situation due to the dead end/cars turning around in |
driveways. |
Cismesia: the temporary posting worked good, but it needs to be posted on the entire |
side of the street. |
GG: I was over there and counted 22 parking spots from the park district with 2 |
handicap spaces. JJ: this would be a Monday thru Friday 4-8. DT: a park is there and |
people need to park there because there is a park there. GG: had this problem in |
several areas in town around other parks. Could we post west side and leave east side |
open? |
Cismesia: all I want is to be able to pull in my driveway and not be worried about hitting |
a child. The kids at these games are not thinking about traffic going down the street |
because it is a dead end street. GG: we need to leave enough parking for over flow |
beyond the game participants. I would hate to have us start a precedent here, but it is |
not the government's responsibility to take care of anyone's children. Cismesia: OK, |
then let's address the situation that I cannot get in and out of my driveway when this is |
going on. We are basically held hostage until the traffic is gone. Someone even turned |
in to my driveway and almost hit my son playing basketball there. GG: What is the |
distance from dead end to the first drive? Could we bring "No Parking" up to first |
driveway, then you would still have some street parking. DT: Dane, are you okay with |
this? Cuny: yes. |
Motion was made to post Michelle Lane from the dead end to the 5th driveway north on |
the east side of the street only, Monday through Friday, 4 PM to 8PM. |
It was moved by Gron, seconded by Schwarz, that this matter be recommended |
to the Board of Trustees for approval. The motion carried by a voice vote |
Enactment No: Ordinance 4728 "No P |

GG: already have signs up there; are you going to have to repost? JJ: Will be able to |
accommodate more parking. |
It was moved by Pool, seconded by Gron, that this matter be recommended to |
the Board of Trustees for approval. The motion carried by a voice vote |
Enactment No: Ordinance 4718 Parki |

DT: brought to myself and Trustee Borgatell. We told the parents involved to go to the |
safety board at the school. They have not done that. GG: Has this come up before? |
JJ: there was a 1986 study. The principal from the school has no problem with what is |
going on. Things really have not changed out there. DT: Kids are not following school |
plan. This will need to go to the Board of Trustees with a recommendation for denial. |
It was moved by Gron, seconded by resigned Bergeron, that this matter be |
denied in concurrance with recommendation of the Plan Commission. The motion |
carried by a voice vote |
Enactment No: Ordinance 4739 Stop |
990456
DT: we already have "No Parking" out there? JJ: Yes, and it is very difficult for cars |
and trucks parking out there/very dangerous. |
It was moved by Pool, seconded by Gron, that this matter be recommended to |
the Board of Trustees for approval. The motion carried by a voice vote |

JS: This is an easy answer from IDOT. ( Addressing Stan Rickard's memo to John |
Schwarz). GG: Had 12 cars get thru when I went thru this intersection. JS: the State |
will not change this, I can almost guarantee. DT: just an informational item, at NW |
corner of Main & Roosevelt, blacktop is being taken away, and we are putting in some |
sidewalk, trees, etc. this fall. GG: What's up with White Castle? DT: According to |
Dave Hulseburg, White Castle is holding this up. |
