SUMMARY OF CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS
COMMITTEE MEETING
Wednesday, June 20, 1989
BOARD MEMBERS PRESENT STAFF PRESENT
Michael Tosto, Committee Chairman Alan Boffice, Village Engineer
Ronald Chernick, Committee Member
James Petri, Committee Member
The meeting was called to order at the Elk Grove Village
Municipal Building by Trustee Tosto at 6:35 p.m, on Wednesday June
20, 1989. There being no news media or interested parties present,
the meeting was recessed and reconvened at 6:45 p.m. at the Elk Grove
Village Public Library. The purpose of the meeting was to review
existing field conditions and proposed alternatives for floodproofing
of the library.
The Village Engineer distributed photographs depicting
the high water level achieved at the library during the August 1987
flood. The engineer presented a proposal for floodproofing similar
to that which was constructed at the Village Hall. Although the Village
Engineer proposed the heightening of the existing berm along Salt Creek
with earth and protecting the remaining sides with a concrete wall,
Chairman Tosto recommended that a concrete wall be used around the
entire perimeter. According to initial engineering work the maximum
height of the proposed wall would be two (2) feet higher than the
existing public sidewalk around the library. The engineer indicated
that the one-way entrance drive would have to be closed to accommodate
the wall but the one-way exit drive further south would be widened
to accommodate two-way traffic. In addition all work done would be
completed in a manner to allow the library to remain handicapped
accessible.
The Committee agreed that further information would
be necessary for the proposal presented and directed the Village
Engineer as follows:
1) Grade stakes should be set every fifty
(50) feet along the proposed line of the
concrete wall with top of stake elevation
set at top of proposed wall. The Committee
would then view the proposed wall height in
relation to existing conditions. The
engineer was advised to contact the Committee
Pa ge 2
members the day preceding the placement of
the stakes so that they could be viewed and
removed in a timely manner.
2) Quantities should be established including
lineal footage of wall, cubic yards of
earth, sod, etc.
3) A preliminary cost estimate should be prepared.
4) The volume of water falling within the pro-
tected area should be calculated to determine
the adequacy of the existing pumping facilities.
5) Initial compensatory storage volumes should be
calculated for the quantity of floodplain
displaced by the floodproofing proposal.
Zorana Dlugosz, citizen, stated her concerns that
adequate compensatory storage be provided for any storm water
displacement.
Dwayne Wong from the Daily Herald requested the date
for the next Committee meeting. Trustee Tosto directed the Village
Engineer to advise him of an appropriate date after the necessary
information was prepared. The engineer was to call the members
individually to advise them when the grade stakes would be installed.
There being no further business to discuss the meeting
was adjourned at 7:45 p.m.
