Unfinished Business
Kaforski asked for an update on the Highland Avenue sidewalk. |
Dratnol-I met with a representative of the County, he agrees with our reading of the |
agreement. They're working with us on the STP project and as a part of that we would |
be looking to construct that sidewalk. Kaforski-What about the maintenance |
agreement? Rickard-They might throw in some money for local share of the STP |
project. Kaforski-But they will absorb the cost of the sidewalk? Rickard-They should. |

New Business
David Arnold spoke to the committee and staff members regarding a product called Soil |
Clean for oil spills in agricultural fields. It eliminates the need to amend the soil or |
remove it. They also have a line of products like grease cleaner, etc. Rickard explained |
that the Village would have to check to see if it's EPA approved. |
D Mahal-(re: street lighting) If we do new streets, can we put the infrastructure in the |
ground and add the lights later? Dratnol-You can't easily do that. It's unit duct which is |
plastic conduit, if you put an empty duct in, you risk it crushing at some point. You've |
also got to stub out a length of extra unit duct and wire, there's no easy way to do that. |
If we were to go into a new neighborhood we would spec it out for directional boring. |
You would still have small pits every 200-300'. Arnold-This street lighting policy, do we |
want to make it a plan? Sebby-Yes, and we'll have to look at how we fund it too. |
Kaforski-Put it on the agenda next month for discussion. President Mueller-When we |
did the study weren't we talking about doing a one shot sweep and a special |
assessment? Rickard-There were a couple ideas that were kicked around. Sebby-I do |
like the idea of doing this with construction projects. Arnold-My preference would be to |
take down all of the ComEd poles if you're going to talk about a policy of doing |
everything when the streets are open. Dratnol-That's about $400/ft to bury ComEd. |
