The Village Manager reported on the following: 1. The Village has contacted the trucking firm that has been working on the reconstruction of Interstate 290 urging them to change their route to lesson the truck traffic on Biesterfield Road. Palumbo Brothers Construction Company responded almost immediately and has cooperated with the Village request. 2. The Northern Illinois Plan Commission has endorsed the Village project for the Biesterfield improvement program. All portions of that report were filed with the application for Federal Aid to Urban Systems funds. That is a procedural move required by the Federal Government for the area wide review of capital projects. A favorable recommendation will be filed by N. I .P.C. by the end of the month, 3. The Joint Action Water Agency has received new members to the Board of Directors and to the Alternate Board of Directors position. A tour has been scheduled for the main pumping station and reservoir. Three dates are being shown as alternate dates for the tour. Mr. Greenwood of the water agency should be notified as to which date is most acceptable. (The Village Manager noted that he visited the DuPage Water Commission's main pumping station today on Butterfield Road just west of Interstate 294. It is a huge complex of reservoirs, pumps, vehicle maintenance facility, water meter testing facility and partial installation of their very sophisticated computer system, which will be used to run the multimillion dollar project. They are still a year and a half away from turning the water on through the system. Twenty-three municipalities will be served by this system. The purpose of the meeting today was to further refine a possible inter-connection between the DuPage Water Commission system and the Joint Action Water Agency water system. ) 4. On Tuesday, July 30, 1991 at 6:30 p.m. the Board will meet in a public hearing to consider the petition of Hamilton Partners (Kunas Farm property) for annexation to the Village; and at 8:00 p.m. to consider the petition of Elbethel Church for annexation. 5. The Village has explored the possibility of making a data system connection with the City of Chicago which had been reported on by the Clerk of the Circuit Court, Aurelia Pucinski . - 3 - 7-23-91 The Village has discovered that the City of Chicago, has no interest in nor any capability for and would be opposed to any connection, therefore we don't know where Ms. Pucinski got the idea that suburban police departments might be able to make a connection with the Chicago Police Department for background checks. (The Village President will pursue this with the Northwest Municipal Conference.) Chief Engelbrecht reported that he spoke to Aurelia Pucinski and gave a brief outline of their conversation and the court case tracking system that was discussed. 6. The Village has looked into the possibility of using recycled concrete for backfill material and found there would be no cost savings in using that material . The recycled concrete is not a good product for backfilling around water or sewer pipe, however it can be used effectively for some roadway base repairs and for fill under sidewalks or other improvements which are non metallic in nature. Public Works will be exploring that use further to see where that type of material can be used. 7. The Police Department's two teenage dance programs have been extremely successful . A third dance program will be held later in the year. The Village Manager requested the Boards authorization to waive the bidding process and to award a contract to Robeck Auto Repair Company to repair a 1990 Police Squad Car in an amount not to exceed $6,500. There is another insurance company involved in this damage case and the Village expects to recover the funds that are spent to repair the vehicle. It was moved by Trustee Czarnik and seconded by Trustee Petri that the Board waive the bidding requirements and authorize a contract to Robeck Auto Repair Company to repair a 1990 police squad car in an amount not to exceed $6,500. The President directed the Clerk to call the roll on the motion and upon the roll being called the following answered AYE: Trustees Petri , Tosto, Chernick, Czarnik; NAY: none; ABSENT: Bosslet, Gallitano; whereupon the President declared the motion carried. The Village Manager reported that the air compressor for the air conditioning unit which services the Police Department failed. Upon contacting various air conditioning firms only one responded, Bartlet Heating and Air Conditioning Company. They will furnish and install an air compressor in a period of 5 to 7 days at a cost not to exceed $10,000; for an additional $4,000 they will cut that time by two or three days. Staff does not believe that 2 or 3 days is worth the additional cost. The board's authorization is required to award a contract to Bartlet Heating and Air Conditioning Co. It was moved by Trustee Petri and seconded by Trustee Czarnik that the Board award a contract to Bartlett Heating and Air Conditioning Company to furnish and instal an air compressor at a cost not to exceed $10,000.
