Second, a new computer workstation with CADD software capabilities is included in the budget. The Commission discussed the staffing need and concurred with the budget recommendations. Capital projects account for 90 percent of the FY 00/01 budget. The Commission discussed the level of current ICRC funds as well as the amount of Federal, State and County funding received to date. This information will be summarized in the budget cover memorandum. The Commission unanimously approved the FY 00/01 Budget. The budget will be reviewed by the Village Manger, and the President and Board of Trustees. The Commission reviewed brochures for private sector fagade and bank loan programs. In addition, a brochure for potential programs for Adopt-a-Parkway and Parkway Parking and Maintenance Enforcement were distributed. The Commission will act on approval of the brochures at the February meeting. The following comments will be evaluated for these programs: • The brochures should be printed on a higher quality paper stock. The format should be modified to closer resemble a newsletter rather than a brochure. • The fagade and bank loan program should be mailed to businesses First A letter from the Village President should accompany the brochures. • A mass mailing to businesses/owners will be made. The programs will also be advertised through the Chambers. A mailing to leasing agents may also be appropriate. It was also recommended that the information should be placed on the Village's web site. • A log of before and after photos should be maintained. The photos could be used at meetings, future mailings, and/or the web site. • The Adopt-a-Parkway and Enforcement Programs will be further discussed, and distributed as a later mailing upon approval. The improvement of Greenleaf Avenue from Busse Road to Elmhurst Road was discussed. Public Works is preparing a contract for curb repair, sidewalk repair and a bituminous overlay of the route. The ICRC supplemental maintenance program provided for sidewalk rehabilitation along collector routes, and the street guidelines propose the use of barrier curbs. It was recommended that ICRC funding be used to replace the remaining curb and sidewalk along Greenleaf Avenue. The Page 3 estimated ICRC cost for the project is ;x204,000. Adequate funding is available in the program to implement this project. The Commission approved with this Public Works4CRC improvement and authorized implementation of the curb, sidewalk and driveway replacement. The painting of the water tower at Pratt Boulevard and Tonne Road is scheduled for a Public Works contract letting. The Commission recommends the following: • Elk Grove Village Business Park should be painted on two sides of the tower. • The full elk logo being used on the street signs and gateways signs should also be painted on the tower. The elk logo should be a solid color not just outlined. • The tower base color should be similar to the water tower east of 1-290. Several new business items were discussed. • Traffic counts for the Tonne Road crossovers have not been analyzed. The crossover will be addressed at a future meeting. • The question was raised if Scott Street could be added to the landscaping program. The current program concentrates on landscape improvements along collector routes; therefore, the route is not included in the program. • Copies of the Village map were distributed to the commissioners. The complimentary maps are available at the Village, Library, and Park District offices. The next ICRC meeting is .February 3, 2000.
