Village of Lombard Legistar System

The committee recognized Joan DeStephano as a participant via speaker phone.

Ken Florey, District 5 Trustee was present to discuss two issues concerning the CIP.

Florey-I'm glad South Broadway has stayed where it's at, but I would like to express

concerns about North Broadway. It has been moved back one year to 2005. The

Village policy is the worst streets first and this is in very poor condition, is extremely

narrow and has no curb on one side. Pushing it back is a definite strain on the

residents. Both North and South Broadway have been pushed back.

Arnold-As we take a look at some of these streets, all we see is the top. When we say

which one's get done first, do we also look at utilities? Lichter-We look at the street first.

The Utility tax is for streets, then we get to the underground secondly.

Florey-I'd like to move North Broadway up a year. Lichter-We don't have the money.

Sebby-Maybe we could move the engineering up one year. Lichter-Yes. Don't forget

when you're looking at North & South, there's the issue with the force main.

Rickard-We're looking for an outfall for Westmore woods and that corridor is likely for

pumping it to Grace.

There was a consensus among the committee members to move the engineering for

North Broadway up one year.

Florey-The other issue is Kenilworth where it's a gravel road. Staff has looked at this.

It's a small section. The problem with a special Assessment is that it's so few houses.

They would end up paying $20,000 per house.

Preins-Do the residents want this? Florey-They do, but they would prefer not to pay for

it and I think in this case it's justified.

Rickard-We did some cost estimates last year. A full improvement would be about

$140,000 with sidewalk and lights.

Preins-I have a problem with giving them a street for free.

Florey-There is precedent for small scale projects.

Sebby-If we're going to look at doing a street, we ought to do it to standards.

Rickard-We'll bring back our report next month.

Preins-Put it in the CIP with no money for now to keep track of it.

Mr. Lichter reviewed the changes to the CIP.

Facility Maintenance will be discussed at Board Budget Workshop.

St. Charles Road, Martha-Rt. 53 - Pushed back, same with Finley.

Lombard Road - We've received a letter from the mayor of Addison, they have

abandoned the project. It's still in as a locally funded project in 2010.

Olde Towne East - moved up 1 year and split into 2 phases. We'll try to do a temporary

overlay with our crew next summer.

SA217 - Cost increased to 8 million.

Rickard-There is significant sewer work, backyard sewers with a lot of problems with the

private connections. If we don't address the clear water problem it would be very

negligent.

Lichter-Public Works suggested breaking the sewer work up into each phase. This

assumes relocating the sewer to the front and reconnecting services.

Rickard-We also need storm water detention. We're working with the Veterans Hall.

The water main is owned by Citizen's Utilities so water main work is not included in the

estimate.

Lichter-The committee asked to move Ridge Avenue up. The money just isn't there.
