Members Present Staff Present Michael Tosto Gary Parrin Lee Garr Jack Andrews Edward Hauser Others Steve Halberg, Park District Stanley Jachec, Otis Associates The first matter of discussion was the requested change to the siding tox__t.he_public works garage. wA " Mr . Jachec reported that a technical review of the siding revealed that it did not meet specifications. Problems with the siding included inadequate gauge of aluminium, lack of rubber weather stripping and inade- quate wind resistance. The General Contractor failed to advise the Village that the siding did not meet Village specifications. The General Contractor provided the Village a $10 ,000 credit for the siding when the contract was awarded but it has subsequently been determined that this alternate siding was not "an equal" to the siding specified by the Village. Mr . Garr suggested that the Village utilize the specified siding for the public works garage. Mr. Hauser and Mr. Tosto agreed. The $10 ,000 credit to the Village for the substitute siding will have to be re-assigned to the General Contractor. The General Contractor, however,will be responsible for any costs incurred above the $10 ,000 in order to acquire siding that conforms to the original Village specifications. Mr. Tosto requested that the reassignment of the $10 ,000 .back to the contractor be on the May 27, 1980 Agenda. Mr . Jachec then addressed the Committee on whether the Village should spend an additional $5,000 to provide further warranty for the public works garage roof . He recommended that the Village not spend the $5,000 .00. The materials used in the construction of t e roo (coal tar) , the pitch of the roof and the other specifications for construction are sufficient to ensure a 15-20 year life for the roof (if not longer) before the roof requires maintenance . The Committee agreed that the expenditure is not warranted. In addition, the warranty is for materials and workmanship only - it does not protect against wind damage, ice , snow, weathering, etc. . . .continued -2- Mr. Jachec noted that he will supervise the installa- tion of the roofing materials. The last item discussed was the installation of public improvements. The May 9, 1980 memo prepared by Gary Parrin was discussed. . The Committee agreed that the Village Attorney should draft an ordinance which would amend the Subdivision Control Ordinance to state conditions under which the Village would request developers to complete public improvements in a diligent and timely manner. Mr. Hauser expressed concern that the ordinance would require improvements to be completed when either the Village does not yet want ownership, or when the developer is least able to complete the construction due to economic conditions. The ordinance should note that completion of the improvements should only occur when there is a definite and actual need by the Village for them. The Committee will comment further on this matter after the Village Attorney submits the draft ordinance. The meeting concluded at 8:05 p.m. Sub fitted by , GARY Ffll PARRIN Assistant Village Manager GEP:mw _.r c : President & Board of Trustees 'Village Manager Director, Public Works Administrative Assistant -July 8, 1980 TO: Gary E.
