Building Process Improvements
The Committee discussed a report from the 'Village Manager detailing the construction processes
that took place with the Oakton Fire Station, Landmeier Public Works Garage, and Biesterfield
Station.
The Committee requested clarification concerning coordination of permit review among Village
Departments. Private plans are submitted to the Department of Engineering & Community
Development for permit review. That Department coordinates reviews among Engineering,
Community Development, and the Fire Department.
For Village projects, the Village now uses the expertise of its Departments upfront before plans
are submitted for permits. This process ensures that issues are addressed upfront by the Village's
architect.
The Committee desires to ensure that coordination occurs among staff from various Village
departments regarding code related items. The Assistant Village Manager advised that pre-
construction meetings take place with Village staff and contractors on Village related work.
The Committee requested staff to review building and fire code items relating to senior housing
complexes, especially as they relate to elevators being able to accommodate a stretcher.
Pozzolanic Based Streets
The Director of Public Works advised that the Village has approximately 32 miles of Poz based
streets. As a percentage, streets with a Poz base comprise 26.7% of all Village owned streets.
The cost to remove the base from all of these streets and totally reconstruct them amounts to
$14.9 million. That price does not include any curb and gutter work that may be needed.
The Public Works Department has found that Poz based streets with limited traffic such as cul-
de-sacs, horse shoe styles, and other interiorresidential streets have a life span similar to other
Village streets. These Poz based streets require asphalt overlays every 10 to 12 years. Poz based
streets with heavy traffic are not doing well. Those streets include Nerge from Devon to
Rohlwing and Biesterfreld,west of Meacham.
The consensus of the Committee was to continue with the current road resurfacing plan for 2002.
Staff will review Poz streets with heavy traffic and advise the CIC of any need to remove the Poz
base and reconstruct those streets.
Sewer Repair Policy
The CIC considered a rough draft of a policy allowing the Village to fund the repair of a
collapsed private sewer service line located ander a Village street, from curb to curb. The draft
policy will be further refined based upon Committee comments. Additional clarification to the
policy will be sought from the Public Works and Engineering Departments.
When the draft is completed, it will be reviewed again by the CIC prior to recommendation to
the Village Board.
The meeting adjourned at 11:15 am.
