extra women's rate study very seriously 208 00:10:40,899 --> 00:10:42,691 when we started looking at some of our rate 209 00:10:42,691 --> 00:10:45,310 increases They did a good job looking at our revenues 210 00:10:45,310 --> 00:10:46,441 looking at our expenses. 211 00:10:46,441 --> 00:10:49,201 We projected our capital improvement program out 212 00:10:49,201 --> 00:10:51,601 for the next 15, 20 years. 213 00:10:51,751 --> 00:10:53,581 Looking at trying to replace these 214 00:10:53,581 --> 00:10:57,646 Led service lines in conjunction with water mains as well. 215 00:10:57,646 --> 00:11:00,188 We can go a cheaper route make Swiss cheese out 216 00:11:00,188 --> 00:11:01,771 of our roadways, but that's not really 217 00:11:01,771 --> 00:11:04,291 what we want to do We want to replace the water 218 00:11:04,291 --> 00:11:06,331 mains and the services at the same time. 219 00:11:06,331 --> 00:11:07,801 Our center part of town is really 220 00:11:07,801 --> 00:11:09,421 where most of our service lines are. 221 00:11:09,421 --> 00:11:12,301 So we have a systematic approach over the next five years 222 00:11:12,301 --> 00:11:18,331 to really get rid of all 567 of these light service lines 223 00:11:18,331 --> 00:11:20,485 Our current rate structure I'm Cory. 224 00:11:20,485 --> 00:11:23,616 If you could go to the one attachment that 225 00:11:23,616 --> 00:11:27,859 said zero rate increases the second one second 226 00:11:27,859 --> 00:11:30,541 I believe no rate increase chart. 227 00:11:30,541 --> 00:11:32,342 This is really what our projections 228 00:11:32,342 --> 00:11:35,901 will look like if we don't raise rates in in 2029. 229 00:11:35,901 --> 00:11:38,401 That line that's up there, that green line across the board, 230 00:11:38,401 --> 00:11:39,601 that's our minimum reserve. 231 00:11:39,601 --> 00:11:42,211 That's what we need to make sure by our ordinances we keep 232 00:11:42,211 --> 00:11:45,421 it our fund balance for our water and sewer rates 233 00:11:45,421 --> 00:11:48,100 at our current rate with our capital improvement program 234 00:11:48,100 --> 00:11:49,951 with the increases in water, with everything 235 00:11:49,951 --> 00:11:54,421 that we try to do to keep good safe water at our infrastructure 236 00:11:54,421 --> 00:11:57,714 and in good shape we're going to run out of money in 2029 237 00:11:57,714 --> 00:11:59,971 and we're going to start dipping down very steeply 238 00:11:59,971 --> 00:12:03,481 in the next ten years after that So we 239 00:12:03,481 --> 00:12:06,391 looked at a couple of scenarios a typical scenario that most 240 00:12:06,391 --> 00:12:09,121 people first look at is a 5% increase across the board. 241 00:12:09,121 --> 00:12:14,101 So we can go to the next one 5% increase across the board 242 00:12:14,101 --> 00:12:18,271 is going to push out that line for a couple of years to 2031. 243 00:12:18,271 --> 00:12:20,551 We're still not looking good into the future. 244 00:12:20,551 --> 00:12:24,302 So what we really want to see is that blue line at the end 245 00:12:24,302 --> 00:12:26,521 or slightly increasing off of that green line. 246 00:12:26,521 --> 00:12:28,104 That means you're collecting the money 247 00:12:28,104 --> 00:12:30,871 that you need to service your water to do your capital 248 00:12:30,871 --> 00:12:32,922 improvements to buy your water. 249 00:12:32,922 --> 00:12:34,737 And again, this is also sanitary sewer 250 00:12:34,737 --> 00:12:36,361 to keep our wastewater treatment plant 251 00:12:36,361 --> 00:12:38,778 going to make sure our little stations are all functional. 252 00:12:38,778 --> 00:12:40,741 So again, we have a very aggressive capital, 253 00:12:40,741 --> 00:12:43,246 prudent program and even a 5% across the board. 254 00:12:43,246 --> 00:12:44,971 It's not going to work. 255 00:12:44,971 --> 00:12:46,321 So what we came up with. 256 00:12:46,321 --> 00:12:49,406 And in this proposed one is a 9.5% increase 257 00:12:49,406 --> 00:12:51,547 for the first year, nine and a half 258 00:12:51,547 --> 00:12:55,381 for the second year Seven and a half for years three and four 259 00:12:55,381 --> 00:12:57,721 and a 5% for year five. 260 00:12:57,721 --> 00:13:01,861 That gives you a chart that looks in the shape 261 00:13:01,861 --> 00:13:03,429 that you really want to see it. 262 00:13:03,429 --> 00:13:05,971 The only reason why we have all this money up front right now 263 00:13:05,971 --> 00:13:07,429 is because we've done a lot of work 264 00:13:07,429 --> 00:13:10,621 in the last five years paying for a lot of our water system, 265 00:13:10,621 --> 00:13:13,981 improving with Arpa grants, with other grants that we 266 00:13:13,981 --> 00:13:16,951 have with tiffs, with sSA is things of that nature. 267 00:13:16,951 --> 00:13:19,891 Those funding sauces are about to run out. 268 00:13:19,891 --> 00:13:24,950 The EPA does offer low interest loans for service line programs, 269 00:13:24,950 --> 00:13:25,387 but that's running out as well. 270 00:13:25,387 --> 00:13:27,391 We're getting indications that those may not 271 00:13:27,391 --> 00:13:29,544 be available to communities like ourselves. 272 00:13:29,544 --> 00:13:30,961 They're giving a lot of that money 273 00:13:30,961 --> 00:13:33,931 to the rural communities and central Illinois versus giving 274 00:13:33,931 --> 00:13:36,393 them to the big collar communities of Chicago 275 00:13:36,393 --> 00:13:38,851 So we can't assume we're going to get any low interest rate 276 00:13:38,851 --> 00:13:42,511 loans zero interest rate loans, principal forgiveness or even 277 00:13:42,511 --> 00:13:44,521 grants to work on some of these projects. 278 00:13:44,521 --> 00:13:47,941 So this is a worst case, a worst case scenario proposal that 279 00:13:47,941 --> 00:13:51,991 we're bringing forward for our water Sewer rate increases We 280 00:13:51,991 --> 00:13:55,510 really think that this is what we have to do to keep moving 281 00:13:55,510 --> 00:13:58,761 forward and to provide this water to our residents 282 00:13:58,761 --> 00:14:01,261 It's our staff's recommendation that's backed up by the data 283 00:14:01,261 --> 00:14:03,871 that Baxter and Woodland put together in their water 284 00:14:03,871 --> 00:14:07,471 and sewer rate study So again, that increase is only going 285 00:14:07,471 --> 00:14:10,651 to be in the volumetric increases that you 286 00:14:10,651 --> 00:14:14,316 for volumetric water usage So if you use 5,000 gallons, 287 00:14:14,316 --> 00:14:16,580 it's that part that's being increased. 288 00:14:16,580 --> 00:14:18,310 We're not increasing the fixed rates 289 00:14:18,310 --> 00:14:22,184 we're not increasing any of the debt service rates 290 00:14:22,184 --> 00:14:23,101 or anything like that. 291 00:14:23,101 --> 00:14:24,991 It's just if you use more water, your rates 292 00:14:24,991 --> 00:14:26,213 are going to increase more. 293 00:14:26,213 --> 00:14:30,100 OK We also included in here is a 3% increase 294 00:14:30,100 --> 00:14:32,281 on our industrial commercial users 295 00:14:32,281 --> 00:14:36,211 are our pretreatment program so that won't affect the residents 296 00:14:36,211 --> 00:14:40,411 but affect our businesses as well What 297 00:14:41,131 --> 00:14:43,981 does this mean to a typical resident 298 00:14:43,981 --> 00:14:48,571 for an average resident uses 5000 gallons of water a month 299 00:14:48,571 --> 00:14:50,101 and has a three quarter inch meter. 300 00:14:50,101 --> 00:14:53,971 It's about a $10 and 46 cent per month increase per year OK, 301 00:14:53,971 --> 00:14:58,321 so $125 for the entire year for a senior, 302 00:14:58,321 --> 00:15:01,591 it's a little less than that It's $6.28 per month. 303 00:15:01,591 --> 00:15:03,591 About $75 per year. 304 00:15:03,931 --> 00:15:06,925 So again, it's it's significant, but it's needed. 305 00:15:06,925 --> 00:15:08,824 And we wouldn't bring any damages to you 306 00:15:08,824 --> 00:15:11,401 if it wasn't critically needed to keep 307 00:15:11,401 --> 00:15:15,610 our system moving forward, keep it sustainable and keep it. 308 00:15:15,610 --> 00:15:17,821 Keep our projects going forward. 309 00:15:17,821 --> 00:15:19,381 Put it kind of in perspective. 310 00:15:19,381 --> 00:15:22,441 This rate structure, a gallon of water costs about 2.6 cents 311 00:15:22,441 --> 00:15:24,351 a gallon right now. 312 00:15:24,351 --> 00:15:27,691 Milk's going for $4 a gallon So if you want to look, 313 00:15:27,691 --> 00:15:29,581 I know you're not bathing in milk, 314 00:15:29,581 --> 00:15:33,871 but still kind of a little tidbit that I wanted to throw 315 00:15:33,871 --> 00:15:37,291 in there This will have automatic increases on January 316 00:15:37,291 --> 00:15:38,161 1st of each year. 317 00:15:38,161 --> 00:15:41,750 So the first increase won't happen until January one of 27. 318 00:15:41,750 --> 00:15:43,408 But every January one, we will automatically increase it 319 00:15:43,408 --> 00:15:45,760 by the 9 and a half, seven 1/2. 320 00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:46,288 So we have five. 321 00:15:46,288 --> 00:15:48,117 So technically, we will decrease it 322 00:15:48,117 --> 00:15:52,381 after a while It's a decreasing increase, right? 323 00:15:52,381 --> 00:15:54,541 So it's kind of like rip the Band-Aid off now. 324 00:15:54,541 --> 00:15:58,351 Yeah But we kind of have to review sustaining our water 325 00:15:58,351 --> 00:16:00,181 sewer enterprise funds. 326 00:16:00,181 --> 00:16:03,181 So staff does recommend approval of this ordinance and these rate 327 00:16:03,181 --> 00:16:07,321 increases at this time opposed to Page County's rate increase 328 00:16:07,321 --> 00:16:09,271 to pages averaging between three and a half 329 00:16:09,271 --> 00:16:10,876 and 5% over the next four years. 330 00:16:10,876 --> 00:16:13,501 And that's not the only people we're paying for water, correct? 331 00:16:13,501 --> 00:16:15,910 Correct Who else are we paying for? 332 00:16:15,910 --> 00:16:18,271 I mean they're paying water to the city of Chicago. 333 00:16:18,271 --> 00:16:19,172 We're paying to pay. 334 00:16:19,172 --> 00:16:22,531 So that's who we pay to purchase the water that comes in. 335 00:16:22,531 --> 00:16:24,541 But we do all of our own treatment. 336 00:16:24,541 --> 00:16:26,311 So even comparing our water rates 337 00:16:26,311 --> 00:16:27,931 to other communities in the area, 338 00:16:27,931 --> 00:16:31,210 if they don't have a wastewater treatment plant, 339 00:16:31,210 --> 00:16:33,151 you're comparing apples with oranges, right? 340 00:16:33,151 --> 00:16:37,951 So elmhurst just raised their rates last year, 25%. 341 00:16:37,951 --> 00:16:40,681 So they are the highest rated for water. 342 00:16:40,681 --> 00:16:44,731 Sewer in our area So we did we do 343 00:16:44,731 --> 00:16:46,291 have some comparables up there. 344 00:16:46,291 --> 00:16:47,101 We were third. 345 00:16:47,101 --> 00:16:51,191 We're going to be second in the water rates for our surrounding 346 00:16:51,191 --> 00:16:51,691 communities. 347 00:16:51,691 --> 00:16:55,441 But again, we also have a good quantity of light service lines 348 00:16:55,441 --> 00:16:58,591 where some of these communities are less less service line 349 00:16:58,591 --> 00:17:00,631 and replace than we have. 350 00:17:00,631 --> 00:17:04,831 So that 5,000 5000 gallon is that an average? 351 00:17:05,500 --> 00:17:08,411 Is that average across the city? 352 00:17:08,411 --> 00:17:10,411 It's kind of a typical standard that most people 353 00:17:10,411 --> 00:17:12,411 use for a family of 3 or 4. 354 00:17:12,411 --> 00:17:12,911 OK. 355 00:17:12,911 --> 00:17:15,301 So and the removal of the bloodlines 356 00:17:15,301 --> 00:17:18,421 was an unfair unfunded mandate funded mandate. 357 00:17:18,421 --> 00:17:22,531 So it's on the backs of all the villages and towns And again, 358 00:17:22,531 --> 00:17:25,411 some communities are putting that cost on the residents 359 00:17:25,411 --> 00:17:30,151 But I mean, we have done a lot of water and sewer improvements 360 00:17:30,151 --> 00:17:33,121 over the last ten years, which included removing 361 00:17:33,121 --> 00:17:34,411 some light service lines. 362 00:17:34,411 --> 00:17:39,181 So to put the responsible city on those 363 00:17:39,181 --> 00:17:41,821 who still have them kind of isn't fair, because last year I 364 00:17:41,821 --> 00:17:43,591 might have removed somebody that would have had to pay it. 365 00:17:43,591 --> 00:17:44,274 This year. 366 00:17:44,274 --> 00:17:45,691 So we do believe that there should 367 00:17:45,691 --> 00:17:49,501 be spread across all the water users at a town 368 00:17:49,501 --> 00:17:52,765 When's the last time we we raised rates. 369 00:17:52,765 --> 00:17:57,601 We did our we do pass in the pass through in 2025. 370 00:17:57,601 --> 00:17:59,191 So that was just what they raised us. 371 00:17:59,191 --> 00:18:00,751 We just passed through the last time 372 00:18:00,751 --> 00:18:02,191 we did a significant rate increase 373 00:18:02,191 --> 00:18:05,101 like this We had a proposal from Baxter 374 00:18:05,101 --> 00:18:07,171 and they did it about seven years ago. 375 00:18:07,171 --> 00:18:09,781 We had a five year proposal, but we only increased the rates 376 00:18:09,781 --> 00:18:10,411 the First year. 377 00:18:10,411 --> 00:18:12,431 And I think it was a 5% increase at that time. 378 00:18:12,431 --> 00:18:12,931 OK. 379 00:18:12,931 --> 00:18:16,171 So we wanted to put that automatic renewal in her too, 380 00:18:16,171 --> 00:18:16,891 so that we won. 381 00:18:16,891 --> 00:18:18,516 We don't forget two, which is automatic 382 00:18:18,516 --> 00:18:20,851 and we don't have to come back and revisit us each year 383 00:18:20,851 --> 00:18:26,570 and approve it each year What's the senior i'm sorry, who's 384 00:18:26,570 --> 00:18:31,370 considered a 66 60, 60 I'm not asking the next question 62 385 00:18:37,501 --> 00:18:43,591 on September after the five the five year mark, after the 5%, 386 00:18:43,591 --> 00:18:45,391 is it look like will be I mean, is it 387 00:18:45,391 --> 00:18:47,221 projected to be okay that or is it look 388 00:18:47,221 --> 00:18:48,991 like another projection of increases 389 00:18:48,991 --> 00:18:50,611 after the five year mark? 390 00:18:50,611 --> 00:18:51,991 We'll do another sewer voters who 391 00:18:51,991 --> 00:18:54,206 are rate increase in year Four so that we can kind of get ahead 392 00:18:54,206 --> 00:18:54,844 of that game. 393 00:18:54,844 --> 00:18:57,136 That's kind of our plan as we try to do them every Four 394 00:18:57,136 --> 00:19:01,861 years when we have a five year increase, the rate that you see 395 00:19:01,861 --> 00:19:04,831 on your screen right now after the initial five years, 396 00:19:04,831 --> 00:19:07,771 it does have it just they pre-program 3% in there, which 397 00:19:07,771 --> 00:19:10,740 is just more of an inflationary increase 398 00:19:10,740 --> 00:19:11,491 But again, that that would all get 399 00:19:11,491 --> 00:19:14,221 looked at when we do the next water sewer rate study. 400 00:19:14,221 --> 00:19:14,761 Okay. 401 00:19:14,761 --> 00:19:17,731 And we do have the actual spreadsheet that we will own. 402 00:19:17,731 --> 00:19:20,308 They will hand it off to us and we can make tweaks to it. 403 00:19:20,308 --> 00:19:22,138 If we need to, to see how we're doing 404 00:19:22,138 --> 00:19:24,261 and if anything would change down the road Okay. 405 00:19:24,261 --> 00:19:26,110 But a pretty much all of our heavy lifting 406 00:19:26,110 --> 00:19:28,240 is going to be done in the first 4, 3 or 4 years. 407 00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:31,261 In the first five years, we have a very heavy C I figure 408 00:19:31,261 --> 00:19:33,691 the next five years to get this led out of the system 409 00:19:33,691 --> 00:19:36,521 So, so the majority of that will be taken care of within five 410 00:19:36,521 --> 00:19:37,210 years. 411 00:19:37,210 --> 00:19:37,521 Yeah. 412 00:19:37,521 --> 00:19:39,451 Everybody we will have no lead in our system 413 00:19:39,451 --> 00:19:41,736 and 2031 that is our goal. 414 00:19:41,736 --> 00:19:46,237 I guess Any other questions from the board ? 415 00:19:46,237 --> 00:19:47,671 please call the roll trustee. 416 00:19:47,671 --> 00:19:48,781 Carmona. 417 00:19:48,781 --> 00:19:49,651 Yes. 418 00:19:49,651 --> 00:19:51,651 Trustee Eltman Yes. 419 00:19:51,990 --> 00:19:53,641 Yes Yes. 420 00:19:53,641 --> 00:19:55,411 Yes Trustee Panicola. 421 00:19:55,411 --> 00:19:56,971 Yes. 422

--> 00:20:06,291 Illinois amending 8-6- 18 DoorDash one of the Bensenville 425 00:20:06,291 --> 00:20:09,170 Village Code with regard to user and surcharge rates. 426 00:20:09,170 --> 00:20:10,771 Their motion to approve their motion 427 00:20:10,771 --> 00:20:13,831 to a second being a motion to second Lisa 428 00:20:13,831 --> 00:20:15,311 the discussion I'll take this one. 429 00:20:15,311 --> 00:20:16,441 Oh, okay. 430 00:20:16,441 --> 00:20:19,891 So this ordinance proposes amendments to our wastewater 431 00:20:19,891 --> 00:20:21,601 surcharge rates. 432 00:20:21,601 --> 00:20:25,291 These are for businesses that discharge very high strength 433 00:20:25,291 --> 00:20:28,891 wastewater It's more expensive to treat 434 00:20:29,261 --> 00:20:30,511 than a residential wastewater. 435 00:20:30,511 --> 00:20:32,371 We only have 14 businesses in town 436 00:20:32,371 --> 00:20:35,618 that actually qualify under this right now 437 00:20:35,618 --> 00:20:37,201 as we do our water sewer rate studies. 438 00:20:37,201 --> 00:20:39,691 We're also looking at our surcharge program 439 00:20:39,691 --> 00:20:43,951 as well this year we're actually removing one of our nutrients 440 00:20:43,951 --> 00:20:45,721 from our surcharge program, ammonia, 441 00:20:45,721 --> 00:20:47,281 but we're putting in its place. 442 00:20:47,281 --> 00:20:49,861 Phosphorus is just more of a concern to the environment 443 00:20:49,861 --> 00:20:51,100 at these days. 444 00:20:51,100 --> 00:20:52,593 I wouldn't be surprised On the road. 445 00:20:52,593 --> 00:20:54,301 We're looking at passing stuff like that. 446 00:20:54,301 --> 00:20:57,121 You hear about that stuff in the news at this point, 447 00:20:57,121 --> 00:21:01,441 but what we're looking at here is for those 14 businesses that 448 00:21:01,441 --> 00:21:03,691 are part of our surcharge program, 449 00:21:03,691 --> 00:21:08,491 we've set up new rates for body, which 450 00:21:09,910 --> 00:21:11,311 is biological, biochemical oxygen demand. 451 00:21:11,311 --> 00:21:16,111 It's just a something we can measure total suspended solids 452 00:21:16,111 --> 00:21:17,101 and total phosphorus. 453 00:21:17,101 --> 00:21:21,811 So it's a 3% increase that will happen also 454 00:21:21,811 --> 00:21:24,511 for the next five years. 455 00:21:24,511 --> 00:21:30,481 Questions from our board please call the roll Rusty Carmona. 456 00:21:30,481 --> 00:21:31,321 Yes. 457 00:21:31,321 --> 00:21:33,271 Tracey Eltman Yes. 458 00:21:33,271 --> 00:21:34,951 Trustee Franz yes. 459 00:21:34,951 -->

The proposed Evergreen Improvements Project 471 00:21:57,421 --> 00:21:58,921 includes Evergreen Street. 472 00:21:58,921 --> 00:22:02,681 This is from Jefferson to Green Street Park Street and Pine 473 00:22:02,681 --> 00:22:03,181 avenue. 474 00:22:03,181 --> 00:22:04,206 This is the Horseshoe. 475 00:22:04,206 --> 00:22:05,437 So the South of Green Tree. 476 00:22:05,437 --> 00:22:06,751 So that's the project location. 477 00:22:06,751 --> 00:22:08,191 We're talking about. 478 00:22:08,191 --> 00:22:10,141 We've identified repairs as a complete, again, 479 00:22:10,141 --> 00:22:11,766 industrial reconstruct for the roadway. 480 00:22:11,766 --> 00:22:13,579 Concrete roads, water main sewer, 481 00:22:13,579 --> 00:22:15,121 the whole thing that we've been doing 482 00:22:15,121 --> 00:22:18,910 in all of our industrial roadways, 483 00:22:18,910 --> 00:22:21,466 we have a plenary cost of this project that just over $12.6 484 00:22:21,466 --> 00:22:22,831 million. 485 00:22:22,831 --> 00:22:27,541 We currently have $4.2 million in STP surface transportation 486 00:22:27,541 --> 00:22:31,980 program funds that are obligated to the village through the f h A 487 00:22:31,980 --> 00:22:34,441 and do page mayors and managers We 488 00:22:34,441 --> 00:22:38,821 intend to support a good part of the remainder of the project. 489 00:22:38,821 --> 00:22:42,361 But as we have done with most of our other industrial roadways 490 00:22:42,361 --> 00:22:45,100 we are looking to the industrial property owners 491 00:22:45,100 --> 00:22:48,481 to have some skin in the game as well Typically we 492 00:22:48,481 --> 00:22:52,290 have requested that whatever is remaining, we split it 5050. 493 00:22:52,290 --> 00:22:53,821 We're not looking for that in this project. 494 00:22:53,821 --> 00:22:55,681 We're just looking for a $3 million 495 00:22:55,681 --> 00:22:58,441 commitment from the business owners. 496 00:22:58,441 --> 00:23:02,910 It would basically put the cost of the project at 4.2, 497 00:23:02,910 --> 00:23:07,491 three, five and STP funds 5.37 in village capital improvement 498 00:23:07,711 --> 00:23:11,190 funds and $3 million in an SSH. 499 00:23:11,190 --> 00:23:12,631 So what this ordinance is doing today 500 00:23:12,631 --> 00:23:15,721 is it's our intent to establish an sSA 501 00:23:15,721 --> 00:23:17,491 and to set some of the guidelines 502 00:23:17,491 --> 00:23:19,426 that we're looking at in this SSH. 503 00:23:19,426 --> 00:23:22,111 We won't collect more than $3 million. 504 00:23:22,111 --> 00:23:26,911 We won't have more than a 7% interest rate. 505 00:23:27,151 --> 00:23:29,821 And we won't charge the residents more than 20% 506 00:23:29,821 --> 00:23:30,991 of their tax bill. 507 00:23:30,991 --> 00:23:33,511 So those are the three kind of maximums that we're looking 508 00:23:33,511 --> 00:23:36,421 at as part of this ordinance This ordinance will establish 509 00:23:36,421 --> 00:23:40,261 a public hearing at our next board meeting on September 20th. 510 00:23:40,261 --> 00:23:47,351 I wrote it down somewhere our next board meeting is the 28th, 511 00:23:47,351 --> 00:23:49,381 and we'll talk about the project. 512 00:23:49,381 --> 00:23:51,121 We'll talk about the requirements. 513 00:23:51,121 --> 00:23:51,991 Appreciate it. 514 00:23:51,991 --> 00:23:57,101 Will start the clock ticking for their ability to fight the SSH 515 00:23:57,101 --> 00:23:58,651 or defeat the SSH. 516 00:23:58,651 --> 00:24:03,910 They would need 50% plus one of the property owners 517 00:24:03,910 --> 00:24:06,301 and elected voters in the area. 518 00:24:06,301 --> 00:24:08,191 There's currently 99 parcels that 519 00:24:08,191 --> 00:24:12,991 are contiguous to this project and i believe 520 00:24:13,201 --> 00:24:15,181 there are 42 registered voters. 521 00:24:15,181 --> 00:24:16,351 So it takes a lot to defeat. 522 00:24:16,351 --> 00:24:20,281 And I say but you know, again, this ordinance 523 00:24:20,281 --> 00:24:23,191 will establish our entire legal ground rules 524 00:24:23,191 --> 00:24:26,411 and identify that public hearing date staff will 525 00:24:26,411 --> 00:24:27,661 over the next couple of weeks. 526 00:24:27,661 --> 00:24:30,721 If this is approved, go ahead and do all of our notifications 527 00:24:30,721 --> 00:24:33,511 that are necessary, which will be some public notifications 528 00:24:33,511 --> 00:24:34,810 in the paper. 529 00:24:34,810 --> 00:24:36,781 We also have to send out invitations and information 530 00:24:36,781 --> 00:24:39,241 to every one of those 99 and 42 people 531 00:24:39,241 --> 00:24:42,241 that qualify for this SSH. 532 00:24:42,241 --> 00:24:47,641 Questions from our board please call the roll

00:25:39,691 because the village has the ability to go ahead and go 554 00:25:39,691 --> 00:25:41,858 through the grant process where the school districts 555 00:25:41,858 --> 00:25:45,751 don't necessarily have that ability to work through IdoT 556 00:25:45,751 --> 00:25:47,461 to get the grant money. 557 00:25:47,461 --> 00:25:49,501 So we're basically sponsoring this project 558 00:25:49,501 --> 00:25:51,511 for the school district. 559 00:25:51,511 --> 00:25:55,810 We have gone through the process so we've procured bids. 560 00:25:55,810 --> 00:25:59,311 We opened bids last

--> 00:26:11,791 But we also entered into an IGA specifically with the school 564 00:26:11,791 --> 00:26:13,351 district, to identify that they are 565 00:26:13,351 --> 00:26:15,481 responsible for any cost overages 566 00:26:15,481 --> 00:26:17,791 they are responsible for the ongoing maintenance 567 00:26:17,791 --> 00:26:18,481 of the fence. 568 00:26:18,481 --> 00:26:21,901 So they have acknowledged that they will go ahead and pay that 569 00:26:21,901 --> 00:26:25,743 extra $48,000 to move forward with this project So at this 570 00:26:25,743 --> 00:26:28,201 point, the village

575 00:26:42,361 --> 00:26:43,501 questions from our board. 576 00:26:43,501 --> 00:26:46,951 So this is a fence The fence is going to go basically 577 00:26:46,951 --> 00:26:50,371 by the railroad

00:27:26,701 Second being a motion a second. 597 00:27:26,701 --> 00:27:29,551 I like talking about salt for winter in the middle of August 598 00:27:29,551 --> 00:27:31,217 But at the end of August, thank you 599 00:27:31,217 --> 00:27:32,884 for all the cool breezes coming through. 600 00:27:32,884 --> 00:27:35,221 No we've got to prepare. 601 00:27:35,221 --> 00:27:37,831 We're always prepared to go ahead. 602 00:27:37,831 --> 00:27:41,248 So our next two items are both our annual salt purchases 603 00:27:41,248 --> 00:27:42,331 for our winter operations. 604 00:27:42,331 --> 00:27:44,281 Last winter was a relatively heavy winter. 605 00:27:44,281 --> 00:27:46,651 We went through a lot of our salt inventory, 606 00:27:46,651 --> 00:27:49,621 so this year we plan to purchase from two different sources 607 00:27:49,621 --> 00:27:52,471 to the state's joint bid purchase and DuPage county's 608 00:27:52,471 --> 00:27:55,316 joint bid for purchase We're looking to increase 609 00:27:55,316 --> 00:27:56,191 our annual allotment. 610 00:27:56,191 --> 00:27:58,201 Typically, we've committed 500 tons 611 00:27:58,201 --> 00:27:59,941 to each of those programs We're looking 612 00:27:59,941 --> 00:28:01,885 to increase that to 750 tons. 613 00:28:01,885 --> 00:28:04,830 This year just to refill our dorm 614 00:28:04,830 --> 00:28:05,671 and have enough at the end of the year 615 00:28:05,671 --> 00:28:09,610 to fill it back up the first of all, contract in front of you 616 00:28:09,610 --> 00:28:12,100 as the DuPage County Joint Purchase 617 00:28:12,100 --> 00:28:14,110 it allows for 80% minimum purchase. 618 00:28:14,110 --> 00:28:16,645 So we are only obligated to buy 600 tons. 619 00:28:16,645 --> 00:28:21,241 But we do have the maximum of 130% which would be 975 tons. 620 00:28:21,241 --> 00:28:24,241 Should it be another heavy winter for us 621 00:28:24,241 --> 00:28:28,891 The cost under the DuPage county program is $74.33 per ton. 622 00:28:28,891 --> 00:28:32,611 It is with Compass Minerals America staff requesting 623 00:28:32,611 --> 00:28:36,481 approval at this point of the maximum quantity of 975 tons, 624 00:28:36,481 --> 00:28:39,481 which is a cost of $72,472. 625 00:28:39,511 --> 00:28:42,571 We don't need the salt. We don't buy the salt 626 00:28:42,571 --> 00:28:46,171 but we are obligated to buy that minimum of 600 tons. 627 00:28:46,171 --> 00:28:49,771 So those recommended questions from the board 628 00:28:49,771 --> 00:28:53,371 call our office trustee Carmona Yes. 629 00:28:53,731 --> 00:28:56,891 Trustee Eltman Yes Trustee Franz Yes. 630 00:28:56,891 --> 00:28:57,391 Trustee. 631 00:28:57,391 --> 00:28:58,391 Lomax Yes. 632 00:28:58,391 --> 00:28:58,891 Trustee. 633 00:28:58,891 --> 00:29:00,781 Panicola Yes. 634 00:29:00,781 --> 00:29:02,840 That's fine Motion carries. 635 00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:05,251 The resolution is approved Number nine 636 00:29:05,251 --> 00:29:07,231 Public Works Resolution authorizes an excuse 637 00:29:07,231 --> 00:29:09,391 to purchase order with Morton Salt 638 00:29:09,391 --> 00:29:12,550 Incorporated for the purchase of 900 tons of bulk rock salt 639 00:29:12,550 --> 00:29:13,300 through the state. 640 00:29:13,300 --> 00:29:15,691 Illinois Joint State of Illinois Joint Purchase Program. 641 00:29:15,691 --> 00:29:18,601 Not to exceed amount of $79,299. 642 00:29:18,601 --> 00:29:19,716 Is there a motion? 643 00:29:19,716 --> 00:29:20,251 Emotional. 644 00:29:20,251 --> 00:29:20,751 A second. 645 00:29:20,751 --> 00:29:21,316 Second. 646 00:29:21,316 --> 00:29:23,400 A motion to second discussion group. 647 00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:25,171 So the second one is the State of Illinois contract. 648 00:29:25,171 --> 00:29:28,621 This one allows for 80% minimum and only 120% maximum. 649 00:29:28,621 --> 00:29:32,731 So it's a 600 to 900 ton commitment Now, 650 00:29:32,731 --> 00:29:36,284 the cost in their program this year is $88.11 per ton. 651 00:29:36,284 --> 00:29:40,205 Working with Morton Salt So staff is again requesting 652 00:29:40,205 --> 00:29:44,751 approval of the maximum amount of 900 tons, which is $79,299. 653 00:29:44,751 --> 00:29:47,251 And one of the things we do when we have these two contracts 654 00:29:47,251 --> 00:29:50,611 is we will always maximize the minimum cost 655 00:29:50,611 --> 00:29:52,681 and minimize the maximum cost. 656 00:29:52,681 --> 00:29:56,191 So keep that in mind as we're ordering our salt, 657 00:29:56,191 --> 00:29:57,811 we hope to order the minimum on both. 658 00:29:57,811 --> 00:29:59,281 But if we have to go over the minimum, 659 00:29:59,281 --> 00:30:00,781 we will order the DuPage County Salt 660 00:30:00,781 --> 00:30:03,631 since that is a lower unit price for us 661 00:30:03,631 --> 00:30:05,123 Any questions from the board? 662 00:30:05,123 --> 00:30:07,201 Please call the roll trustee. 663 00:30:07,201 --> 00:30:09,201 Carmona Yes. 664 00:30:09,361 --> 00:30:10,261 Trustee Eltman. 665 00:30:10,261 --> 00:30:10,891 Yes. 666

she cares. 670 00:30:17,359 --> 00:30:18,425 Resolution is approved. 671 00:30:18,425 --> 00:30:20,717 Ten Resolution authorizing execution of a contract with 672 00:30:20,717 --> 00:30:23,251 Railtrack for the design and installation of the replacement 673 00:30:23,251 --> 00:30:27,166 of the Wayside Horn system, which is w h s control system 674 00:30:27,166 --> 00:30:29,761 equipment at York Road grade crossing in the amount 675 00:30:29,761 --> 00:30:31,761 of $41,040. 676 00:30:31,801 --> 00:30:35,221 So our motion to approve your motion for a second motion 677 00:30:35,221 --> 00:30:35,977 second discussion. 678 00:30:35,977 --> 00:30:36,511 Jeff Yes. 679 00:30:36,511 --> 00:30:39,481 So in 2014 we established a quiet zone here in Bensenville. 680 00:30:39,481 --> 00:30:43,531 And the way we did that was we found a way to do this. 681 00:30:43,531 --> 00:30:46,233 We side phone system instead of doing quad gates to the quad 682 00:30:46,233 --> 00:30:48,691 GATE program, which would have also established a fly zone, 683 00:30:48,691 --> 00:30:51,841 was over $2 million investment for the way aside for and was 684 00:30:51,841 --> 00:30:54,241 more of a $350,000 investment. 685 00:30:54,691 --> 00:30:56,821 It's been working for us very well. 686 00:30:56,821 --> 00:30:58,261 It is 13 years old. 687 00:30:58,261 --> 00:31:01,291 We have been having some issues with some of the components. 688 00:31:01,291 --> 00:31:03,671 Unfortunately, the original person or company 689 00:31:03,671 --> 00:31:05,671 that we bought it from has gone out of business. 690 00:31:05,671 --> 00:31:08,971 We've sold off certain sections of their company, 691 00:31:08,971 --> 00:31:12,151 so nobody makes these replacement components anymore 692 00:31:12,151 --> 00:31:14,971 So we were able to locate a nother company that is doing 693 00:31:14,971 --> 00:31:16,915 a similar type of program. 694 00:31:16,915 --> 00:31:20,831 They are able to actually replace the guts of our wayside 695 00:31:20,831 --> 00:31:22,831 for in system all the electronic components that 696 00:31:22,831 --> 00:31:24,181 are within our cabinets. 697 00:31:24,181 --> 00:31:26,410 While maintaining and keeping the horn 698 00:31:26,410 --> 00:31:27,991 itself in and the lights and the warning 699 00:31:27,991 --> 00:31:29,483 signals and things like that. 700 00:31:29,483 --> 00:31:30,691 So we were able to find them. 701 00:31:30,691 --> 00:31:33,841 They are a sole source provider. 702 00:31:33,841 --> 00:31:36,751 There are company out of Nebraska, I believe, 703 00:31:36,751 --> 00:31:39,548 called Rio, something that go by rail tack. 704 00:31:39,548 --> 00:31:42,900 The cost to replace all of the electrical components is about 705 00:31:42,900 --> 00:31:44,900 40 just over 41,000. 706 00:31:44,551 --> 00:31:46,621 They will do all of the initial design 707 00:31:46,621 --> 00:31:49,471 for installation the follow up, the testing and everything 708 00:31:49,471 --> 00:31:50,821 for it. 709 00:31:50,821 --> 00:31:53,742 We have been having some issues where our lights are blinking, 710 00:31:53,742 --> 00:31:57,100 lights, which warn the actual conductors of the train that 711 00:31:57,100 --> 00:31:58,531 is a acquire zone. 712 00:31:58,531 --> 00:32:00,610 Have been going around us. 713 00:32:00,610 --> 00:32:02,811 We found a way to kind of rig it together. 714 00:32:02,811 --> 00:32:05,311 So it's working right now but we want to get this ordered up 715 00:32:05,311 --> 00:32:07,407 and replace as soon as possible so we don't have 716 00:32:07,407 --> 00:32:12,461 to deal with this so much longer Questions from the board 717 00:32:12,461 --> 00:32:14,311 please call the roll. 718 00:32:14,311 --> 00:32:16,711

existing four sets of electronics store front doors 730 00:32:43,651 --> 00:32:45,961 at the edge, two were put in in 1998. 731 00:32:45,961 --> 00:32:49,531 They are operating questionably at times and have exceeded 732 00:32:49,531 --> 00:32:52,171 really their useful life So we're staff is recommending we 733 00:32:52,171 --> 00:32:55,111 move into replacing these doors with new ones along

garage portion of public works is original 756 00:33:45,901 --> 00:33:49,353 to the building and is having some issues and we cannot buy 757 00:33:49,353 --> 00:33:50,311 parts for them anymore. 758 00:33:50,311 --> 00:33:54,610 So we are looking to replace that heating system with more 759 00:33:54,610 --> 00:33:58,892 of a system that has more redundancy and a little bit 760 00:33:58,892 -->

our building automated system and they are all energy 765 00:34:16,810 --> 00:34:19,291 efficient units will provide us with some redundancy and better 766 00:34:19,291 --> 00:34:22,207 heat distribution for our garage staff. 767 00:34:22,207 --> 00:34:24,571 Software forces from three reliable mechanical firms 768 00:34:24,571 --> 00:34:25,711 to provide their upgrades. 769 00:34:25,711
