It was moved by Preins, seconded by Hallbeck, that the minutes of the February |
9, 1999, meeting be approved. The motion carried by a voice vote |
Stan Rickard reviewed the material (memo & map). Angela Podesta addressed any |
open issues regarding Green Valley (indicated by underlined text). |
One thing that will help the 108" interceptor is to get more clear water out of the system. |
Hammerschmidt Pond will be able to pick up some of the back yards that flood and we |
would separate sewers in the area between Madison-Wilson, Lombard-Norbury. We're |
hoping we can pump the pond to a storm sewer, the closest is at Main/Madison, that |
way we won't have to recombine it. |
John Kaforski-When we did Green Valley didn't we televise the sewers? These look like |
things that didn't just happen over the last 2-3 years. Do we have copies of the |
televising we did at that time? Stan Rickard-The engineering would have been done in |
89-90. Richard Tross-There is a double catch basin on W Green Valley Dr that may be |
connected to the storm sewer on Madison. John Kaforski-Seem to remember that we |
couldn't get the elevation. John Meyer-Find it hard to believe that after the construction |
we're going to go back and do things that we tried to do then. Gordon Hallbeck-When |
the plans for something like this are in design, we get an overview, we don't get details. |
We need to get details if there are going to be problems like this popping up. Richard |
Tross-What I'm concerned with is reading a memo that in 5 years time we have |
infiltration of roots in the sewer system. We should have done Insituform. In the 500 blk |
of S Park there is new sewer. Overall the flooding has subsided very much. John |
Meyer-Of the opinion that the role of this committee is to provide policy and direction |
and provide oversight, we don't need to re-engineer projects. We have a clear policy |
that we will do separate storm and sanitary, if staff made the decision not to do that, |
there was an obligation to come to the committee with it. Would like minutes researched |
to see if committee was told. Richard Tross-Can't see spending 200k to accomodate, in |
one case, 3 homes. They should come in for the overhead sewer program. John |
Kaforski-Would like to see TV tapes from then & now. Richard Tross-Seems to |
remember closing structures on W Park Dr to get the water overland to the double catch |
basin at 604. Stephen Priens-If they bought houses that didn't flood until we did work, |
then it should be up to us to fix it. Stan Rickard-When those service lines are that low, I |
find it hard to believe that they never had water before. When they thought they were |
getting clear water, they were getting diluted water. Since we separated, they're getting |
less clear water in the system, therefore when they back up it is sanitary. Another thing |
is the whole philosphy of the overhead sewer program. Stephen Preins-If we've |
caused a hardship then we need to correct it. Gordon Hallbeck-In the records we keep |
about flooding check for flooding calls back to 90. If there were calls, then the |
construction didn't cause it. John DeFalco-Would like to find out about TVing in 89-90, |
staff should research notes on project to see if committee was informed about the |
decision not to separate W Park Rd, check records from 90 on to see if there are |
flooding calls from then. If it is a situation where there have been no calls from that |
address then perhaps we will make an adjustment to the Overhead Sewer Grant |
program. |
Stan Rickard reviewed the memo regarding the current method of tree planting on |
constructrion projects and the proposed new policy. |
It was moved by Preins, seconded by Kaforski, that this matter be recommended |
to the Board of Trustees for approval. The motion carried by a voice vote |
Enactment No: Tree Planting Policy |

A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING A CHANGE ORDER |

THE CONTRACT OF $10,000 OR MORE |
David Dratnol reviewed the change order. |
Gordon Hallbeck-We seem to be running into a lot of bad soil that is not identified in the |
borings. Are we not doing enough borings or is the company not good? David |
Dratnol-borings are taken about every 300'. Unfortunately that doesn't catch everything, |
even if you decrease the space you won't catch everything. We're doing standard |
practice and get the best results we can. Stan Rickard-one solution is to just increase |
the quantity on every job. Unsuitable soil is unsuitable soil, it's not going to change. In |
the future you will probably see some more conservative estimates for this reason. |
Stephen Preins-Our average percentage of change orders for 1998 is 1.7. That's pretty |
good. For this you need to look at the big picture. Gordon Hallbeck-Is there any chance |
that we will be getting some of the cost from Nicor? David Dratnol-the franchise |
agreement would not allow for that. |
It was moved by Kaforski, seconded by Committee Member Meyer, that this |
matter be recommended to the Board of Trustees for approval. The motion |
carried by a voice vote |

Stan Rickard-Olde Towne has been granted an award by APWA. March 18th there will |
be an awards ceremony. It is under the historic preservation category. Now we're |
elgible for a national award. |
Gordon Hallbeck-We wanted some type of report on compliance for barricades. John |
DeFalco-Did Szabo correct it themselves? David Dratnol-We have not had to correct |
any ourselves. If we are sent these deficiencies, we should have the follow up within 48 |
hours. |
