Capital Improvements Committee
May 12, 1980
The meeting of the Capital Improvements Committee was called to
order by Chairman Tosto at 6:30 p.m. on Monday, May 12, 1980 in the
Trustee's Conference Room.
Members Present: Staff Present:
Tosto, Michael Chairman H. Peter Kaleta, Dir. of Public Works
Garr, Lee Jack Andrews , Supt. of Streets & Veh. Maint.
Hauser, Edward Harvey Goeddeke, Foreman Street Dept.
The Committee met with the staff to review the streets that were
resurfaced in 1978 to see how the asphalt that was placed in the
gutter has held up.
In reviewing Biesterfield Road near White Trail , South Glenn Trail ,
Tonne Road north bound, it was the consensus of the Committee that
overlaying the asphalt on the gutter has held up in 90 to 95% of the
areas. As a result the Committee's recommendation is to overlay
the gutters in lieu of milling this year.
Staff will also be reviewing the economics of purchasing a milling
machine versus contracting the work, due to the increasing amounts
of milling that will be comming up in future years.
Finally the $30,000 in the 1980 Street Program, which was to be
used for milling will be used to replace curbs and sidewalk in the
Industrial area.
The formal resolution outlining the 1980 Street Program will be
available at the next Village Board Meeting on May 27, 1980.

SUBJECT: Disposing bf Asphalt
For your information last fall , 14 tons or two truck loads of asphalt
was disposed of in the rear yard of the Public Works Garage at
666 Landmeier Road. The asphalt was originally to be used with the
Cutler Repaving machine for street pavement resurfacing. Due to a
problem with fuel (propane) for the Cutler repaver, the machine was
shut down. We had two trucks loaded with hot asphalt that was to
be fed into the paver. Without the paver operating, we had no choice
but to dispose of the asphalt.
Note:
The aspahlt must be hot enough to assure proper asphalt viscosity for
paving, rolling and compaction. If the asphalt cools off, it is
useless because it starts to set up and becomes rigid and hard. We
would not be able to use it at all . If left in the trucks , it would
be very difficult to get out. Knowing this kind of situation could
come up from time to time, I had included in the specifications to
bidders that the contractor will be responsible to pay or make
adjustments in his billing for any asphalt that would have to be
disposed of if for any reason his machine would break down. We
deducted $126.35 from Cutler's bill . This was for one truck load
that we disposed of. We had Cutler's tack truck at no cost, to
spray emulsion on the driveway and parking areas at Well House #2
and 666 Landmeier Road prior to the village crews paving over the
areas . this made up for the second load we had to get rid of.
From time to time asphalt is disposed of due to other reasons such as:
1) Starts to rain
2) When patching or resurfacing is completed we might have 1/4
or 1/2 ton of asphalt left in the truck. It is better to be
a little over in estimating asphalt quantity than short.
We usually will dump the asphalt in the rear of the garage and use
it for fill prior to building the salt bins or additional parking or
storage areas. The asphalt is not normally wasted.
If you require additional information, please let me know.
