Robert Lewis reviewed the results of the pilot program. John Meyer asked whether it is |
worth doing the remaining 200 homes, we will probably spend more on inspection fees |
than doing the repairs. Robert Lewis responded that once we get to the edges of the |
project it may be different. When we look at the benefits of continuing a disconnection in |
this area, we need to look at the design of this project. His concern is that if there are |
significant drain tiles connected in, once we add Phase II and III, we will have to |
eliminate all clear water. |
Gordon Hallbeck asked that staff bring some information back to the committee: the cost |
paid to treat clearwater and the approximate gallons that a sump pump or downspout |
add to the system. |

Stan Rickard reviewed the proposed changes to the Sidewalk Policy. Stan explained |
that the numbers used for the spreadsheet were desktop numbers for policy decision |
purposes, staff did not actually measure every open space. |
Stan clarified for the committee that the policy change would allow homeowners to |
install sidewalk at 100% their cost for any sides not directly impacted by the |
construction. |
It was moved by Hallbeck, seconded by Preins, that this matter be recommended |
to the Board of Trustees for approval. The motion carried by the following vote: |
Aye:
Hallbeck, Kaforski, Meyer and Preins

Stan Rickard reviewed the memo and the material from DuPage County and the Village |
of Lisle. It was his feeling that an overhead sewer program would be simple to operate. |
Gordon Hallbeck asked if the village would establish areas that are predominantly |
flooding and only allow those homeowners to participate or would we make it available |
to the entire village? Stan explained that at this point we need to decide if this is |
something the village would be interested in doing. We haven't discussed any details. |
Gordon asked that staff bring back more information. |
John Kaforski has problems with a project like this. When somebody buys a house they |
should be responsible for it themselves. With the disclosure laws now, sellers are |
responsible to tell a prospective buyer if there is a back-up problem. |
Stephen Preins stated that if we can help these people, we should. |
Staff will bring back more information. |

Construction Barricades
Gordon Hallbeck wanted to discuss this item. The Friday of Labor Day weekend he had |
talked to staff about some barricade lighting that was not working and it was taken care |
of immediately. That Saturday he drove through Olde Towne and Special Assessment |
208 only 50% of lights were working. At Parkside about 90% were working and |
Highland 100% were working. He then went to the Police Department and told them |
what was happening and recommended that they call the supervisor on call. |
It was his opinion that staff needs to establish some kind of procedure so that we can |
maintain safety in these areas. Staff will bring this back next month. |

Mr. Dave Arnold, 527 E. Washington brought some crack sealant in. The material is |
falling out and being pulled out by the snow plows and garbage trucks. After Edgewood |
was surface treated there were skid marks all over it from the garbage trucks. Mr. |
Lichter will look into it further. |
It was moved by Meyer, seconded by Kaforski, that this matter be recommended |
to the Board of Trustees for approval. The motion carried by the following vote: |
