[9:12] We're ready.
[9:14] We want to kick you off.
[9:28] Yeah.
[9:33] Oh my.
[9:37] A couple of seconds left.
[9:39] I'm going to
[9:58] play out real quick.
[10:05] All right, this time we'll move the public comment. Does anyone wish to address the board
[10:09] of so please approach the podium and state your name? Yes. Robert Benson.
[10:23] Hi, this is going
[10:23] to be, I'll try to throw something positive and I always negative. But I really appreciate
[10:31] the clean up of the streets with our unusually snowy November. And the follow up in December
[10:39] but the other thing is I had an incident with or I had an experience with picking up leaves
[10:47] where I pick up all the leaves. I have a 12 foot tree that's very young. It all the leaves
[10:55] could fit into one bucket, but I usually have about 20 buckets of leaves because of my neighbors.
[11:02] I don't mind. It's just that they don't come down at the right time. That's all. And so I
[11:08] They had leaves in December, I went to the website for Republic, and it looked like they picked
[11:15] up leaves in December.
[11:17] Well, I was wrong.
[11:18] So I called them up just to verify, and they said, no, there's nothing to be done.
[11:24] And I said, well, you know, what if I put them in the garbage, somebody suggested it.
[11:28] They said, no, you could have your, we could stop picking up your garbage in December.
[11:33] So I hope, and maybe you power mongers here could do something where you could either talk to
[11:39] Republic about making some exceptions, or maybe you could talk to the trees.
[11:44] Don't we have an arborist?
[11:45] Maybe he's a tree talker or something.
[11:47] But to have them drop the leaves before the snow falls, so I would appreciate it.
[11:53] The one last thing was, I live on an alley, and I noticed that when I was shoveling,
[12:02] Not snow blowing, shoveling the snow
[12:05] that somebody was shoveling the snow in the middle of the alley.
[12:10] I thought about using the Karen app that I call it,
[12:13] but click and fix it, but I thought, no,
[12:16] because I don't do anonymous.
[12:18] I was gonna talk to him, I thought,
[12:20] no, I might be a little bit heated,
[12:22] so I just shoveled it up.
[12:24] But maybe if somebody could also mention
[12:26] when they say, don't put the stuff in the street,
[12:29] You can say don't put it in the notice the alley too because maybe you don't use the alley but others do so
[12:36] That's it. Thank you

[15:49] Yes, the petitioner is requesting the special use permit to allow food processing
[15:57] at this location in the zoning district in which the property is located. The food processing
[16:04] is a classified as a meeting and industrial use and it requires special use permit and
[16:09] see application. The community of all the commission held the records of public hearing
[16:13] And they recommended approval and the approval also includes several conditions on approval.
[16:21] And so we're recommending acceptance of the CDC's findings of fact as well as approval of the special use permit for the food processing of business.

[17:02] They're being a motion at second. Any discussion? Walter. Yes. The position is requesting a special use.
[17:08] to allow motor vehicle repair and or service within the I-2 general industrial district.
[17:17] The applicant is a transportation company and utilizes a site for freight transfer operations
[17:26] and for performing maintenance and only company vehicles. Following a recent inspection,
[17:32] the applicant received a correction notice requiring submission of the special use permit.
[17:36] and hence the public hearing.
[17:44] The CDC health, the records of public hearing, and we had a fair amount of testimony from
[17:50] my neighboring business owners, which contradicted the applicant's testimony, and demonstrated
[17:56] the proposed special uses not being operated in a manner that would not have an impact on
[18:01] bring properties,
[18:06] the objectors specifically noted blockage of the street and nearby loading
[18:10] docs interfering with the operation of their businesses as well as trucks and trailers
[18:18] being served in the outdoors on the property. The U.S. staff evokes a series of conditions
[18:28] to control or limit the operation of the business commensurate with the size and the location
[18:35] of the property, but the commissioners were of the opinion that the applicant was in
[18:42] cable compliance with those conditions and they recommended denial of the special use permit.
[18:50] Any questions from our board?

[27:45] parks, equipment, and services.
[27:48] Is there a motion to approve?
[27:49] Yeah, motion to the second.
[27:50] Yeah, the second.
[27:50] Being a motion to the second.
[27:52] Joe discussions?
[27:52] Yeah, so each year we've been doing this bringing forward the resolution authorizing our prove vendor
[27:56] list.
[27:57] These are vendors that we use for just purchasing day-to-day things that one purchase may not
[28:02] be over our purchasing authority, but in aggregate maybe over our $25,000 limit.
[28:08] earlier this year, I believe, or late last year, we increased our purchasing authority to $25,000 to meet the state requirements used to be $10,000, so our prove vendor list was much larger.
[28:20] So this year, I think we have seven on our prove vendor list. These are, again, vendors that will use for small day-to-day purchases that over the year will probably go over our $25,000 limit.
[28:30] So we're proving that now in the amount of $50,000 for each one.
[28:34] Questions from our board?
[28:36] Please call the roll.
[28:38] Trustee Carmono? Yes. Trustee Alvin? Yes. Trustee Lomax? Yes. Trustee Penicola? Yes.
[28:44] Trustee Perez? Yes. That's fine. Well, she carries the resolution disapproved.
[28:48] For the resolution authorizing the execution of a purchaser to Al Warren oil company
[28:52] incorporated to provide fuel, tank, rental, and fleet fueling services and a not-to-exit amount
[28:57] of $229,000. Is there a motion to approve? Yeah, a motion to have a second.
[29:02] Second. Thank you. A motion to have a second to have a discussion.
[29:04] So the village purchases are fuel and bulk instead of going to the gas stations to save money.
[29:09] We have historically been purchasing through El Warren oil.
[29:13] We've been doing this for about the last 15, 20 years.
[29:16] We purchased through them because they do provide us with the 23,500 gallon of buckground storage tanks.
[29:24] So we're basically leasing them and the delivery and they're overhead for 10 cents over the opus rack rate.
[29:29] So the opus rack rate is the typical rate that is like the market for gasoline.
[29:33] So we pay different amounts each year, or each week every time they deliver, based on the delivery date.
[29:39] We anticipate $229,000 worth of fuel being purchased this year for unlettered diesel and off-road diesel for our generators.
[29:47] So staff does recommend the extension with cell phone and oil.
[29:51] Any questions from our board?
[29:53] Please call the roll.
[29:56] Excuse me.
[29:56] Trustee Carmona.
[29:58] Yes.
[29:59] Trustee Altman.
[30:00] Yes. Trustee Lomack? Yes. Trustee Pentechola? Yes. Trustee Perez? Yes. That's five. Motion carries the resolution to approve. Five is the resolution authorizing the execution of extension number two with ASE, a lie in ice capes, incorporated for a turf, chemical treatment program, and an othoxied amount of 26,677 dollars, 85 cents. Is there a motion to approve?
[30:21] to have a second, second, being a motion, a second-show discussion?
[30:25] Yep.
[30:25] So the village does contract out our turf chemical maintenance.
[30:27] This is to keep some of our larger properties free of weeds and
[30:30] dandelions and make it look nicer from the village.
[30:34] We've contracted with BSc line escapes in a contract that had two
[30:39] one year extensions last year.
[30:41] We did the first extension.
[30:42] We're proposing to go forward with the second extension.
[30:45] This year with a CPI increase of 2.9%.
[30:48] So the total amount is just under $27,000.
[30:50] staff does recommend approval. Questions from the board? Call the roll please.
[30:55] Trustee Kermona? Yes. Trustee Aldman? Yes. Trustee Lomax? Yes.
[31:00] Trustee Penicola? Yes. Trustee Perez? Yes. That's fine.
[31:04] Motion carries resolutions approved. Six is a resolution authorizing a two-year contract
[31:09] with technically haven't incorporated for wastewater sampling and analysis services in the
[31:13] now through the Xenemone of $144,900. Is there a motion to approve?
[31:18] even motion the motion the second so the village owns a wastewater treatment plants and with that treatment
[31:24] plant comes a plethora of requirements by the Illinois EPA for lab testing and reporting.
[31:30] We also administered industrial pre treatment program that's mandated by the U.S. EPA again
[31:35] something that requires a lot of lab testing and analysis and reporting. So every couple of years we
[31:41] go out for a contract with local labs to perform these duties.
[31:47] We did go out to bid in November.
[31:49] We had three qualified labs, submit bids.
[31:53] Tech Lab was the lowest of the three bidders in the amount of $144,900.
[31:58] Kind of interesting to see that the second little biter was only $256 more.
[32:02] So we're continuing our very competitive bidding atmosphere these days.
[32:08] staff is worked with tech labs on a previous contract so we're very familiar with that and
[32:11] they can do a good job so we do recommend the move.
[32:16] Questions for my board?
[32:18] Coloural.
[32:18] Trustee Kermuna?
[32:20] Trustee Altman?
[32:21] Yes.
[32:22] Trustee Loma?
[32:23] Yes.
[32:23] Trustee Penicola?
[32:24] Yes.
[32:25] Trustee Perez?
[32:26] Yes.
[32:26] That's fine.
[32:27] Well, she carries Resolution Approved.
[32:28] Seven is a resolution authorizing excuse of amendment number eight to the engineering
[32:32] services agreement with HR Green for Plan Review Services, associated with the
[32:39] In addition, I have to exceed amount of $75,000 for a revised contract total of $873,000.
[32:46] It's very emotional to approve.
[32:47] Yeah, most of the second.
[32:48] Second, being a motion, second, show the discussion.
[32:50] So the project that never ends.
[32:52] It's supposed to be completed in 2024, and then it's 2025.
[32:55] I think we're going to be looking at a 2027 completion.
[32:58] There's still a lot of work that's going on.
[33:00] The Illinois tollway project here.
[33:03] A lot of it going on in Bensonville.
[33:05] So we have exhausted our funds with HR Green who's been performing
[33:09] Plan reviews, IGA reviews, shop drawing reviews, some construction management for us on a number
[33:16] of different projects along the corridor. We've had seven contracts with them. We're looking
[33:20] at doing a men number eight, continuing the contract with another $75,000, which has been our
[33:25] typical amendment costs. It will bring the total cost with each our green over the last 12 years,
[33:34] to $173,000. We've been very happy with their services. They're very responsive to our needs.
[33:38] So staff does recommend approval.
[33:41] Questions from my board?
[33:42] He's calling the roll.
[33:43] Trusty Pomona?
[33:45] Yes.
[33:46] Trusty Alvin?
[33:47] Yes.
[33:47] Trusty Moman?
[33:49] Yes.
[33:49] Trusty Pentecola?
[33:50] Yes.
[33:51] Trusty Perez?
[33:51] Yes.
[33:52] That's fine.
[33:53] Most of the kids resolution has approved.
[33:54] They did the resolution authorizing execution of a one-year contract
[33:57] extension for biosolids hauling with stewards spreading in a not to exceed
[34:02] amount of $1190,000, $80.
[34:05] They're most approved.
[34:06] Yes.
[34:07] Most of the second.
[34:07] Second.
[34:08] be the most of the second Joe discussion.
[34:10] I know you've been waiting for this one all year.
[34:12] My promise to contract our product is the S word.
[34:15] Yeah.
[34:15] The official word is bio solids.
[34:18] That is the byproduct of always water treatment plant.
[34:23] So we have a choice of either land applying or taking this to landfill.
[34:28] The environmental thing to do is to land apply.
[34:29] So our contractor will actually haul out our sludge.
[34:32] Land applied on the farms for fertilizer.
[34:39] I might have to increase the price now.
[34:43] The biosolids.
[34:44] Or you can landfill this hose.
[34:45] It goes to a landfill costs much more for landfill except for you.
[34:49] So this is an economic way.
[34:50] This is an environmental way to remove our biosolids.
[34:54] We're looking at doing another extension with Stewart's
[34:56] Breding who's been doing our hauling since 2014.
[35:00] team increased 3.1% for a total cost estimated cost of $19080 for 2026.
[35:07] So step does recommend the question for my board.
[35:12] Please call the roll.
[35:14] Trustee Carmona?
[35:15] Yes.
[35:15] Trustee Alvin?
[35:16] Yes.
[35:17] Trustee Lowman?
[35:19] Trustee Penicola?
[35:20] Yes.
[35:20] Yes.
[35:22] Motion carried resolution is approved.
[35:24] Nine is a resolution authorizing an execution of a payment to
[35:27] Zion construction for an emergency sewer repair at York Road in Jefferson Street in the month of
[35:32] $28,000.
[35:33] Is there a motive to approve?
[35:34] Yeah, most of those seconds.
[35:36] Exactly.
[35:36] The emotion of second child discussion?
[35:38] Yes.
[35:38] Earlier this year, we identified a sewer collapse at the intersection of York and Jefferson.
[35:44] The depth, the magnitude, the complexity of that intersection was really beyond our staff's
[35:49] capabilities.
[35:49] So we sought out some proposals, some emergency proposals from five different firms,
[35:54] contractors.
[35:55] They have done emergency workforce in the past.
[35:56] Two of them did respond back with proposals.
[36:00] The construction had the lower proposal in the amount of $18,750.
[36:05] While performing the repair, it kind of became evident that we had some other issues going on in the ground.
[36:09] That we're probably causing it.
[36:10] We had a storm sewer collapse as well as the sanitary sewer collapse.
[36:13] So we had to kind of do a little bit of shift on the fly.
[36:17] The additional cost for the extra work was $9,250.
[36:21] So that brought our toll cost to 28,000, which again is over our 25,000 spending limits.
[36:25] So we'll bring it to you to ratify and hopefully approve this emergency response.
[36:31] I will note that the invoice for this was already on the warrant for this month.
[36:35] So if you don't approve this, let the go back and pull it off the invoice.
[36:38] You're off the warrant.
[36:40] But staff does recommend approval.
[36:41] The work was done.
[36:42] It is great job on it.
[36:43] Questions from our board?
[36:46] Please call the roll.
[36:47] Trustee Kermona?
[36:49] Trustee Aldman?
[36:50] Yes.
[36:50] Trustee Loma?
[36:51] Yes.
[36:52] Trustee Penakola? Yes.
[36:53] Trustee Perez? Yes.
[36:55] The motion carries resolution is approved.
[36:57] It's time for resolution authorizing the execution of iDOT's resolution establishing a class 2.
[37:02] Our prohibitive truck route and requesting their inclusion on iDOT's official truck route website.
[37:07] There's their motion to approve.
[37:08] Yeah, motion.
[37:09] Another second.
[37:10] Second.
[37:10] Won't be in motion.
[37:11] Second, do you have a discussion?
[37:12] Yep.
[37:13] So earlier tonight, Chief had you guys approved truck changes, truck route changes.
[37:19] So now that we have all of our truck routes identified in our village code,
[37:23] We are going to be submitting resolutions to IDOT to include all of our routes in their official IDOT mapping.
[37:31] We're hoping that by getting in IDOT's official mapping for all of our truck routes that are truck GPS firms will be indicating that these are the truck routes within Bensonville.
[37:43] We hear a lot of complaints about truck striving through our roadways.
[37:47] part of that is to do with the truck GPS's either aren't being used or they don't include
[37:54] all of our truck routes. So we're hoping by making the changes that we did earlier today
[37:59] submitting these resolutions to i. dot so they can include them in their mapping. We'll
[38:04] start seeing better use of our truck routes by our truck drivers. So staff does recommend approval
[38:07] of this resolution. Question in our board. Please call the roll.
[38:13] Trustee Carmonna. Yes. Trustee Aldman. Yes. Trustee Aldman. Yes. Trustee Pentecola. Yes.
[38:20] Trustee Perez. Yes. That's fine. Motion carries resolutions approved.

[38:37] John, we have discussion. This ride due page program offers 24 hours, seven days a week
[38:43] service anywhere within the due page county boundary limits.
[38:48] A rider fees are established by a rider page and a $2 base fee plus a dollar per mile.
[38:54] This program is only offered to seniors and disabled individuals.
[38:58] Last year, we had about 250 participants in the program and we are going to extend it
[39:06] into next year.

[39:30] As we come together to support families and need, we not only bring joy to children to the holiday season, but also strengthen the bonds that make our village such a special place.
[39:37] I am proud of the generous generosity shown by residents, local businesses, and the Toy Drive
[39:43] Volunteers who have made this year's distribution of success, together over 2,500
[39:48] gifts were donated and distributed to more than 400 children from 171 Benceville families.
[39:55] Just reminders unlawful to park any vehicle on any portion of any public street or highway,
[40:02] following a snowfall of two inches or more for a period of 24 hours, or until the streets
[40:06] have been cleared or snow. I'll snow. Our public works department does a great job of getting
[40:11] the snow clear, but they need room to work. Also, reminded, once public works comes through
[40:16] with the plow, please don't plow your stuff back in the middle of the street or the alleyways,
[40:21] you could be ticketed for that as well. Will it measure your work? I just have one comment.
[40:28] This is at the Village Office. It will be closed December 24th and 25th for Christmas holiday.
[40:33] And again, November 30th and 31st for the New Year holiday.
