The Village Manager reported on the following: 1. The Village has been called upon by the City of Plainfield to provide some medical , communication, fire apparatus, and man power services through activation of mutual aid arrangements which the Village has with a number of surrounding communities. Those facilities are being assembled now and will be delivered to the area that was struck this afternoon by a tornado. 2. Over the past weekend the Village had a rainstorm intensity that represented a 150 to 200 years in duration. There were 30 to 40 homes that were invaded with water coming from different sources, most of it over ground, some of it through drainage systems around foundations of homes where sump pumps were unable to function, due to electrical transformers in the area taken out of commission through failure or overheating. There was some flooding due to passage of water from one neighborhood to another; there was some water entry into homes as a result of it passing over the top of window wells. - 3 - 8-28-90 There are about four or five areas in the community which are being examined in quite some detail to determine what triggered some of the failures. Engineering elevations are being taken grades are being examined, design plans are being reviewed, profiles of those areas will- be prepared and engineering analysis will take place to determine what happened and what might be done to avoid a repeat of the situation. The Village was troubled by the flooding in a couple of the areas where steps were taken in the past to prevent future flooding. The Village Manager stated that in 1970 some $40,000,000 was spent developing the Upper Salt Creek Watershed Project. One purpose of that project was to provide flood protection for properties along that water course ranging from almost the Wisconsin border all the way to the Des Plaines River well south of Oakbrook, Illinois. Another purpose was to provide a passive and active recreational area which would include the stand of vegetation and other kinds of natural environment and to provide for an opportunity for sports and activities including the maintenance of fish life and fishing activities. The Village Manager voiced his opinions on the Upper Salt Creek Watershed Project and how it has failed to protect the area from flooding. The Village Manager stated that proposals to improve on the Project have been made over the years and one is now pending before the Cook County Forest Preserve Board, however it appears that they are opposed to this proposed remedy. The Village Manager reported that the Village is continuing dialogue with the Illinois Department of Transportation concerning the interchange expansion at the Northwest Tollway and Arlington Heights Road; and to the construction activity taking place, on schedule, at the interchange of Interstate 290 and Biesterfield Road. At this time, 8:49 p.m. , the President asked if anyone in the audience wished to address the Board. A number of Village Residents addressed the Board regarding the flooding that occurred in the Village on Friday/Saturday, August 17/18, 1990 and urged the Board to take the necessary steps to prevent any flooding in the future. The more heavily effected areas appear to be the Circle Bay Subdivision and Parkview Heights Subdivision, although the Village identified five areas that will be studied by the Engineering Department. This study should provide information as to what kinds of changes and/or improvements can be made to grading, retention ponds, spillways and compensatory water storage areas that may prohibit similar flooding problems should that type of rainfall reoccur. President Zettek responded to all the residents and assured them that a study will be taken of the flooded areas and that the Village is obligated to correct any problems that are revealed by the study. However, if the problem occurred only because of the heavy rainfall that the sewers could not take and the water came into the houses due to the loss of power and failure of the sump pumps, then the Village will report that finding. The problem will be resolved to the point that it can be done. A Schaumburg resident addressed the Board on behalf of a group of Elk Grove residents urging the Village to stop any and all participation in the Schaumburg Convention Center. Mrs. Pilihoski , owner of property in unincorporated Cook County, also addressed the Board about flooding along Salt Creek and in particular her property on Devon Avenue. At this time, 11:32 p.m. the meeting continued with all Board members present. - 4 - 8-28-90 It was moved by Trustee Chernick and seconded by Trustee Tosto that the Board meet in Executive Session following tonight's Board meeting for the purpose of discussing personnel .
