Members Present: Trustee Feichter, Chairman Trustee Dill Trustee Petri Staff Present: A. Boffice, DE/CD Others Present: Mike Norbut, Elk Grove Times ELECTRICAL LINES - COSMAN/BEISNER ROADS The Director of Engineering & Community Development displayed an aerial photograph and summarized the project location. It was noted that the overhead electrical lines are currently located in the parkway along Cosman Road and adjacent to Alexian Brothers. The remainder of the lines are located in easements on private property. In some areas, the easements and overhead lines were not at the rear property lines, but actually well within the lots themselves. Committee members discussed the reduction in costs for this project which were mainly due to the relocation of the electrical lines to Village and Forest .Preserve District property located in the area. This relocation allowed for the lines to be installed by the trenching method instead of the directional bore method. It was noted that little, if any, private property would be disturbed during construct.[on. The current estimate of cost for the project is $362, 942. Previous estimates ranged from $612, 120 to $780, 000. Committee members reviewed the safety concerns and history identified by the residents at previous meetings and the reasons why this remained the only residential area located along Village-maintained streets with overhead electrical distribution lines. The committee felt that these lines should have been buried many years ago as they are in other areas of the Village. The committee briefly discussed methods of funding and determined that the project should be funded entirely with Village funds from the Capital Projects Fund'. The committee unanimously agreed to recommend to the President and Board of Trustees that the project should be approved and funded with Capital Project Funds. A total of $400, 000 for this project has been identified in the FY 1998, 1999 budget.
