[3:10] Where's the
[4:47] maintain our liberties and freedoms and
ensure those unalienable rights to every
[4:52] American.
[6:55] Let me tell first and foremost they have
to go see the
[7:00] planner and [clears throat] she works
with those people whether it's the
[7:03] business whether it's the individual
whatever project that is she goes
[7:07] through that project finds out where
they're going to do it what the rules
[7:09] are what the regulations are and what
steps they have to go through in order
[7:12] to make it potentially a viable project
after it goes there and it goes to the
[7:17] planning commission
planning commission looks at our our
[7:21] ordinances
comprehensive plan and decides whether
[7:24] or not it looks like it fits within the
comprehensive plan. If it does, they
[7:28] say, "Yeah, looks good." It moves on.
From there, it goes to a very important
[7:33] step called the zoning board of appeals,
the ZDA as many people call at the ZDA.
[7:40] that gives residents the opportunity to
come sit at the in the audience and
[7:48] watch the CBA proceedings of that
particular project and they can then ask
[7:55] questions, voice comments, concerns, all
of those things. It can be a long
[8:00] tedious process depending on the
project, sometimes involving multiple
[8:05] meetings. if any of you were around for
the windmills the first go around or any
[8:09] of that stuff. It was many many many
long evenings going through that. So
[8:16] that's that's just the steps of how
things go. Once that's done through the
[8:20] ZBA, it then comes to the county board
but at committee level first. That would
[8:26] come to the administrative
administrative committee as a whole and
[8:30] it would be discussed during planning
and zoning portion of that where the
[8:35] county board would have the opportunity
to ask questions of staff. They've
[8:40] helped and gather the information on the
uh item or subject uh for us. and then
[8:48] also ask questions of the applicant that
is trying to put together a project. And
[8:53] then the county board in its committee
meeting would make a vote, a preliminary
[8:58] vote as to how they were feeling at that
point. Then two weeks later would come
[9:03] the final vote at a full county board
meeting. So there's no reason at all
[9:09] that anyone should be caught off guard
that the county board is voting on any
[9:13] kind of project, whether it's a data
center, whether it's a windmill, whether
[9:17] it's a solar farm, or whether it's a
tent in somebody's backyard.
[9:26] So
please keep that in mind. We're not
[9:30] we're not going to nor would would state
law allow us to try and sneak something
[9:37] through and under the carpet. If if by
chance we were going to vote on the data
[9:42] center today and or any project wouldn't
have to be a data center and we hadn't
[9:47] followed all those steps specifically,
then one of you could sue us, the
[9:54] county, and we would lose because we
didn't follow the proper procedures to
[9:59] make sure that you and the public knew
what we were doing and what was
[10:04] happening and what was being proposed.
So, I hope that alleviates some fears
[10:09] and concerns. It's it's a tedious
process, one that I've been involved
[10:13] with for a very long time. So, we don't
want to missteps
[10:18] because we want to make sure people do
know there's a project coming up,
[10:22] whatever kind of project it is.
That being said, I do have some uh
[10:27] people that have asked to speak. We'll
remind everybody that you have three
[10:31] minutes for your public comment.
[10:37] So clear. All right.
First, I have Mike Hill.
[10:45] I would ask that you please state your
name and address for the record
[10:50] and then I will start your time.
[10:56] Go back. Council number. I'm sorry. Your
address is my address is 4415 Chanel
[11:03] Road. Thank you. Council members, my
name is Mike Novak. My abandon and I
[11:08] live on Genoa Road where we have seen
some recent activity around us,
[11:12] including sightful, boring, and
surveying of Genoa Road. I have read the
[11:16] strategic plan file in June of this year
and want to voice my concern that there
[11:20] is planned commercial industrial
development around my farm and my home.
[11:25] I oppose any plans that expand this
development into our neighborhood and
[11:29] that would destroy what is currently
beautiful farmland and preserves. I'd
[11:33] further express my concern that these
plans were not presented to us, the
[11:37] residents who it impacts the most, nor
will we ever contacted or surveyed about
[11:42] any new plans for our area. Last, I want
to ask the council what is being planned
[11:47] and not built south of I90 including
[11:53] and how they think these plans will
affect the current tenants of that land.
[11:56] Thank you. Thank you.
Next I have Jeffy.
[12:04] Please state your name and address.
[12:19] Hello
Jeffy 7272 Yuber Road.
[12:25] appreciate that good explanation on the
concerns that probably most of us are
[12:30] here for uh the data center or the
building this morning there
[12:36] gentleman before me kind of expressed a
lot of my same concerns questions and
[12:40] worries
this is not a question and answer thing
[12:44] so I'm just kind of following up the
same thing that there's there's
[12:47] something going on
[12:51] in this room know something's going on
it's just uh
[12:54] a matter of when are we going to go
about it and what's the time frame
[12:58] before you know it goes from step A to
the final step is kind of my my question
[13:07] you guys answering the questions or just
your chance to address us better
[13:14] so again kind of do what he said
is there something we want to do it's
[13:20] just I guess what we're going to
[13:24] I guess the nature.
So, thank you.
[13:30] [clears throat]
>> Next, I have David Henderson,
[13:44] David Henderson, 30
Center Road. Um, I have the two
[13:49] gentlemen for me. I'm pretty much in the
same boat. I just want to know what's
[13:52] going on with the uh the drilling and
what not. Um my concern if this should
[13:58] happen or or what's going to happen to a
lot of our drinking water, our roads
[14:05] that are in Spring Township, what's
going to happen to our property values?
[14:10] And I know I'm against it if it should
occur.
[14:15] And [clears throat]
I I just I do feel that something's
[14:19] going on. And I do feel that you guys
are telling the truth that there's
[14:24] nothing that you know about, but
somebody knows something somewhere. And
[14:30] I think we have the right to know. And
I'd really like to know what's going to
[14:34] happen to our property values. And you
know, we pay pretty high taxes out
[14:39] there. What's going to happen to that if
something happens to that? That's one of
[14:43] my concerns too because you know we pay
taxes on what our houses are worth and
[14:48] if they go down considerably 30 40% as
our taxes go down I'd like to know
[14:53] something about that as well. Um other
than that I was going to pass before I
[14:58] got up here but I decided that
that's some of my concerns and I
[15:02] appreciate you let me say what I can
say. Thank you very much.
[15:07] Anyone else for public comment
let's come up. I ask you to grab a sheet
[15:14] out very well.
[15:39] That's
[15:45] Well, Scott 9100 76. My family's been
wealth.
[15:54] Um, there is definitely some people I
have a list that we
[16:01] want to ask everyone here. Why?
Think about that. Why? Why do you love
[16:07] being
is for generations after generations and
[16:13] a big part of it agriculture?
Agriculture runs the country. You agree
[16:19] or so then my question why why are we
worried if somebody wants to build a
[16:24] data center? Who do you want to make a
billionaire a trillionaire? Why do we
[16:28] want to make a CEO a multi-million
dollar bonus for the year and work our
[16:33] community? I mean, I know it's the
future, but we also live here. We got
[16:39] generations that lived here for a long
time after that. So,
[16:45] my point is always think why use common
sense and why do we want to use our
[16:50] resources to make somebody else rich
that lives halfway across the country,
[16:55] right across the world? Um, another
thing I want to touch on is the school
[17:01] board. We already got a school
government now that's out of control.
[17:05] They'll pay $30 million for um first
three year olds.
[17:12] When we grew up, our parents weren't
able to ditch us off at school. So why
[17:17] do we want to think the responsibility
and reliability of transportation
[17:22] safety and
another building two buildings that are
[17:28] probably great because after they sell
them they put preschool back in the
[17:32] schools any
kind of funny they're safer kids are
[17:36] going to school but I know there's stops
community stopping off right at the
[17:43] beginning and addressing all that and
time will tell And I'm sure we'll have
[17:47] more discussions over this as we did at
the Great Basin Railroad. So, thank you.
[17:53] » Thank you.
>> That's Paul. Anyone else?
[17:59] See, thank you very much. Appreciate
everybody's comments.
[18:04] I'd ask for a motion to approve the
general consent items.
[18:08] Second by
any discussion?
[18:12] All in favor say I.
>> I. opposed. [clears throat]
[18:17] Oops. Carries
for our agency senior connection.
[18:40] never been, I would invite you to go. Um
there are a lot of um outstanding
[18:44] activities for seniors in staying
connected in the community and with each
[18:49] other um to keep everybody active.
>> Thank you very much. And for the record,
[18:54] I would like to uh announce that Miss
Patterson joined us at 6:39 p.m.
[19:01] Ro,
[19:04] » good evening. Um well, we have about 104
uh projects that are in the pipeline. 35
[19:11] um we have identified as being committed
or beginning construction. Can you hold
[19:15] on?
>> Yes.
[19:17] » Can we turn that on?
[19:22] » That's what I'm trying to work on
without going.
[19:28] » Is this better?
>> We'll just try.
[19:31] » Okay.
>> No, no worries. Um 35 have committed or
[19:35] started construction. About six have
completed. Um you probably heard um
[19:40] beginning of this uh week um uh
Stalantis did announce that they're
[19:44] going to start um their first um STLA1
uh platform vehicle. Um so it's going to
[19:51] be the next generation of the Jeep
Cherokee um in Belvadier. So this is
[19:56] real exciting. It's going to be their
first one in I believe the US. Um this
[20:00] is a $800 million investment that
they're expecting. Meanwhile, they're
[20:04] going to help support the um employees
that um are waiting to relaunch and and
[20:12] be involved. So, the start date um is
expected in 2028 um with full-scale
[20:17] production in 2029. We have been working
with them over the past month um on
[20:23] enterprise zone activity as well.
Um, another project that we've been
[20:28] working with um that we have shared
before was called uh was a company
[20:32] called Merlin Steel. They had reached
out to us in June interest in locations
[20:36] here in Boone County. While they had
purchased the Franklin Wire facility in
[20:42] July, um we had spoken with them. We're
looking forward to to following up uh
[20:47] another meeting with them and and we've
sent them a lot of workforce information
[20:51] and um they have a lot of the same uh
community values that Franklin Wire has.
[20:57] So, it's going to be very exciting to to
transition that, but we'll be meeting
[21:01] with them uh next month in order to
discuss um some investments they want to
[21:06] make in the community.
Um another uh some other project
[21:10] highlights were our um the East Point
Commons in which it's the Bush
[21:14] Properties DMD Investments that um have
uh allocated part of their uh um
[21:21] property on the east um east of Walmart
um retail store to be uh uh planned
[21:28] business and the other is u more
industrial. So, we have been marketing
[21:32] that property and another project has
been um will be executed um after the
[21:39] region one planning council received an
$ 8.9 million award to provide
[21:45] solutions. And part of those solutions
are ones that we had discussed over 10
[21:50] years ago to brer
to south of um uh US20 uh and near the
[21:58] I90 corridor and Irene Road corridor. So
this is really exciting. It's going to
[22:02] bring a lot of money uh to fund those
solutions. Another project that we've
[22:08] been working with um we've been working
with the Illinois Board of Realators,
[22:12] Boone County Health Department and
Planning Department um in order to try
[22:17] uh to identify some of those um housing
needs that we have and also to identify
[22:24] what some of the challenges that maybe
um building housing might have in
[22:29] different areas um and then provide some
recommendations. This will give us a
[22:33] platform so we can market specific needs
to those communities. We're planning on
[22:38] having a a kickoff meeting uh in the
next week or so. Um and last I want to
[22:44] share that um we have our annual dinner
September 2nd. Please register. We're
[22:49] looking for registrations by August
24th. Um so we're looking forward to it.
[22:54] We have a number of sponsors. Um, as a
reminder, uh, Robert Leki, um, general
[23:00] manager for the Walmart perishable
distribution center, will be our keynote
[23:04] speaker. So, real excited and it'll be
an opportunity to ask all the questions
[23:08] you want and he'll share the story not
only about um, how Walmart chose
[23:13] Belvadier, but also why he chose
Belvadier. So,
[23:19] that's all I have.
>> Any questions? Quiling. Quiling.
[23:28] that meetings.
>> No.
[23:31] » Yeah. Just a quick question.
I just wanted to take two seconds and
[23:38] say it's great to see a lot of people
here. Folks certainly have a right to
[23:42] know what's going on.
[23:50] I'm sorry, I can't hear
at all.
[24:02] » Can you hear me?
>> Um, very little. I now I just heard you
[24:06] echo a little bit.
[24:11] I apologize.
>> I'm trying to get this work. It's
[24:15] working. It's working.
bars.
[24:19] » I can hear that a little clearer.
[24:41] I don't know.
[24:52] » Erin, if you could repeat that question.
[25:02] I apologize. I'm not hearing anything.
I'm hearing echoes.
[25:25] My apologies. I I can't hear anything.
[25:37] 51,000
$4323
[25:43] 63 for the courthouse project
[25:50] discussion
[25:57] who wants to
[26:00] I got the
[26:15] we have three change orders that
uh 104 one
[26:24] and one for a total amount of 45,32363.
[26:32] These change orders uh are not part of
the scope of the work that we originally
[26:38] had in the the house. Change order
number one EPCO 104
[26:47] is an addition to the toning of the
restoration of the bridge and the
[26:54] courthouse.
There were two place, two or three
[26:59] places that we could not see when the
original
[27:04] um evaluation of the building that the
pointing and uh you have the photographs
[27:13] and and your package uh that will
explain
[27:19] why this is needed. We are learning and
I can say we are learning on a lot on
[27:26] this uh restoration because uh what we
see there it was a
[27:36] a covers that was done in the 20s and it
was normally done for different
[27:43] buildings that had brick deterioration
and that we can discuss later on on that
[27:51] But there is a lot of that cover was
done because there was a lot of
[27:56] deterioration on the original masonry
for the four house. So this is an
[28:05] addition of 4,69120
[28:10] to the existing masonry restoration that
is being done.
[28:18] the PCO [snorts]
111
[28:23] painting and this was removed in the
[clears throat] in the original in the
[28:30] beginning of the project. We removed the
painting of the restoration of the
[28:37] corners and the courthouse and remove a
lot of the uh restoration of the
[28:45] masonry.
uh when uh
[28:49] when budgets the budget was reduced from
our original budget provided to the
[28:55] restoration of the courthouse
restoration and addition. So we decided
[29:01] to put the money uh on on other areas
like the additions and the interior.
[29:11] So um this is a the the corn painting is
19,000
[40:55] Now they're on. I think it was
unplugged.
[40:59] majority of four.
[41:07] » Yeah.
[41:22] [clears throat]
[41:26] » Pretty much
>> the third color.
[41:29] by itself.
[41:33] » I can't see it. Still not the worst day
I've had this.
[41:35] » Not the worst.
>> That was the when the water was coming,
[41:38] right?
[41:55] Got rude.
day
[42:04] everybody in the long run
looking really nice and
[42:11] a lot of the people that go to my church
they have seen this project a lot
[42:26] 313 story building. They're trying to
get water down.
[42:31] [laughter]
[43:36] close to that, but it's still a little
further south.
[43:39] » You know, doctors and attorneys are all
the time be deposed and testify and
[43:44] stuff. Pacific.
[43:47] [laughter]
>> Where does the county get? Cuz I'm going
[43:49] on county,
>> you know.
[43:55] Whatever it is,
>> he he answered in an email. I was I was
[43:58] kind of teasing
[44:07] over there for the next two days,
[44:13] » Mr. Riley.
[44:17] I would have to open it up.
[clears throat]
[44:20] » The only thing sit here and just hold
it.
[44:24] » It's like reverse PTT. So,
>> we're good. He's got
[44:29] that like 10 minutes ago. [laughter]
[44:35] » You need to play with this.
[44:39] » They're all on right now.
[44:44] All right, if we can make our way back
to
[44:48] [laughter]
>> a quick
[44:52] [clears throat]
[44:59] should do a test.
>> Thank you.
[45:01] » All right. Thank you.
Think we had Mr. Sevdra and Mr. Darnell
[45:08] on the witness. I mean, uh,
[laughter]
[45:13] All right. [clears throat] Sorry,
gentlemen. Please continue.
[45:17] » Uh, that is more questions. Mr.
Shoemaker,
[45:20] » uh, I have a question about the
sidewalk. I guess my question is how
[45:24] much are we responsible and how much is
the city responsible?
[45:30] » Whose fine is that?
>> I guess that would be for Miss Tobin
[45:34] potentially.
>> That's a good question. Um, I mean,
[45:37] generally the city has uh the 5050
sidewalk program.
[45:43] as long as it
is within budget, they tend to run out.
[45:47] You know, there's only so much money per
year. Um, we can definitely follow
[45:51] through and check with um with the city
on that. [clears throat]
[45:56] » So, whatever you approve tonight would
be a not to exceed just in case we can
[46:01] um get the city to pay for some of that.
All right.
[46:04] » Okay. Any other questions regarding the
change orders?
[46:10] Mr. Darnell thoughts.
[46:14] » Thank you chairman. Good evening
everyone.
[46:18] So the of the three items that are on
the agenda tonight, you know, item
[46:22] number one is masonry restoration of the
admin building and it and it's a a got
[46:29] to do. We have to do that work. Items
number two, two and three are voluntary
[46:35] but highly recommended to keep you know
we've replaced the roof on the building.
[46:40] We're restoring the masonry. Uh we might
as well paint the cornice while we're
[46:44] doing that and get the exterior envelope
all in the same sequence. Um the
[46:51] sidewalks
again that's a voluntary item but um
[46:56] with the new building and the variation
of sidewalks I would recommend that we
[47:02] do that. Um the all of the engineers
have looked at that this we've looked at
[47:07] it as far as the cost estimating
and feel that it's fair and reasonable.
[47:14] So we would recommend all three at this
time.
[47:17] » Okay. Any questions for Mr. Darnell?
[47:22] » Yeah, I guess I would kind of tend to
agree with Mr. Shoemaker. I mean, I
[47:25] think it's something that I know we
don't miss, you mentioned that, but I
[47:28] think it's something we I'd like
recorded or noted that we would ask the
[47:32] city to maybe share an expensive
sidewalk.
[47:37] [clears throat]
>> Anything else?
[47:41] All right. Thank you, gentlemen.
>> Do you want to the motion to matrix?
[47:47] [clears throat]
>> Think we need to.
[47:51] » All right. I'd ask for uh an amendment
to the motion to make it a not not to
[47:57] exceed
45,323.63.
[48:03] Motion by uh Mr. Schneider, seconded by
Mr. Wilty.
[48:08] All in favor say I. I.
>> Oppos.
[48:12] » That amendment carries. Next, we will
vote on the change orders as amended.
[48:19] The
>> yes vote will pass the change orders and
[48:21] the not to exceed.
>> Roll call, please.
[48:25] » Josh Schumaker,
>> yes.
[48:27] » David Cbury,
>> yes.
[48:28] » Brian Schneider,
>> yes.
[48:30] » David Wilty,
>> hi.
[48:31] » Lisa Patterson,
>> yes.
[48:33] » Tom Walbert,
>> hi.
[48:34] » Rodney Riley,
>> hi.
[48:36] » Matt Reano,
>> hi.
[48:38] » Dana Lston,
>> hi.
[48:40] » Marian Thornberry,
>> Carl Johnson,
[48:42] » hi.
>> Motion carries. Thank you very much.
[48:46] We have administrative committee. Mr.
Curry is not here, so I will take that.
[48:56] I would ask for a motion to approve
ordinance 2633
[48:59] altered speed limit zone on Roxton Road,
Mccur Road, and Grade School Road in
[49:04] Manchester Township.
Motion by Mr. Organo, seconded by
[49:12] Mr. Wily.
discussion.
[49:18] Uh Mr. Cone or
>> Yeah, I'll go quick and then township's
[49:25] here as well based on your request. So
address
[49:30] » uh Justin Crow 975976.
>> Uh so the township's here as well uh at
[49:36] your request to to speak. I just wanted
to speak real quick. I did put the uh as
[49:41] I mentioned last time ID do changed
their policy last year. um and uh step
[49:46] back from the 85th percentile the 85th
percentile um rule that has always been
[49:51] used standardly in the past. Um so
um it it provides more leniency on uh
[49:58] reducing speed limits uh based on other
factors and and um opinions, field
[50:04] observations, all that kind of stuff. Um
some of the factors are bicyclists, uh
[50:10] pedestrians, uh spacings of houses and
uh safety. So those are the primary
[50:16] factors. Um it's still uh the guidance
still asks or still uh provides that um
[50:22] that you can do the speed study. I
honestly have not had time to even start
[50:27] the speed study. Uh what that involves
is um these roads are the ADT the
[50:32] average daily traffic on these roads are
um a max of 250 uh down to a minimum of
[50:38] 50. Um so uh in by comparison 76 up in
that area is about 2,000. Uh Manchester
[50:45] is 1,000 and and Hunter's uh 2,000. So
that kind of gives you a relative idea.
[50:49] These are very low these are lower
volume roads. Um classification in on
[50:54] these roads are the lowest
classification as well. That's in the
[50:56] the um guidance. Uh these are local
streets. Um uh so I like I said, I have
[51:03] not had a chance to to do a speed study.
Uh that involves getting a speed
[51:07] trailer, putting it out on site, uh
letting it operate for uh multiple days.
[51:11] Uh you know, you got to you got to let
it um collect data for a period of time
[51:16] that is a typical day. So if it rains or
if there's inclement weather or anything
[51:20] like that, you got to um pick up
additional data. Um, so a speed study
[51:24] like this would probably as long as the
speed trailer is available from the
[51:28] sheriff's department, um, that would I
would say for three roads like this, it
[51:33] probably be we'd be looking at like a
month at least u for me to do something
[51:36] like that. Um, there are other
opportunities if you want to pursue that
[51:40] to to lower the speed limit and and I
think uh the township can probably speak
[51:44] to those um factors um if those want to
be considered. So, uh, that's all the
[51:48] information I have and and sorry I got
the, uh, the speed policy up there just
[51:53] late late. So, if you haven't, uh, gone
under this item in the last, uh, few
[51:57] hours, I guess probably, um, then, uh,
you could go under there and find that
[52:02] speed policy, and that's the ID do
policy that reflects the national um,
[52:07] uh, federal highway policy. So,
>> any questions for Mr. Chrome?
[52:13] » Okay. And the townships. Oh, go ahead,
Miss Patterson.
[52:17] » Can you explain to me the speed? So, the
speed study, does it cost us anything or
[52:21] is it just time and implementation?
>> It doesn't cost us really anything.
[52:25] We've got all the equipment. We've got
the expertise uh to do it. Uh and what
[52:28] the speed study is basically over a
course of um uh you're supposed to do it
[52:34] for multiple days uh three days of good
weather. Um it will give you a bunch of
[52:39] um almost like a bell curve, a bunch of
uh speeds. you know, you might get uh a
[52:43] lot of the people are maybe driving, you
know, 40 to 50 miles an hour and all
[52:47] those dots will be projected on there.
You might get somebody that's driving,
[52:50] you know, 60 miles an hour. Those are
should be very few. Maybe it's a farm
[52:55] implement or other equipment out there
that's driving 10 20 m hour. Um so all
[53:00] those are projected on there and then
the 85th percentile is you go down um uh
[53:05] until you hit 85% of the speed uh data
is under that percentile. So that that
[53:12] could be 55 and then that case you would
the speed wouldn't uh the speed study
[53:17] would support a 55 mile limit in areas
that are only urban. If you have a a um
[53:24] um I'm sorry rural areas. If you have a
rural area that is urbanizing uh which
[53:30] there is a section up there on um Mccuri
Road that I looked into that does meet
[53:35] the qualifications um based on 100 foot
spacings for uh of structures uh for a
[53:42] distance of quarter mile then you can
instead of using that 85th percentile
[53:45] you can bring it down to the 50th
percentile which then obviously l lowers
[53:49] the speed limit that would be suggested
from that speed study. Um so uh the
[53:55] other roads uh um um Grand School and
Rockton are um more of the
[54:02] classification of a row. Um uh um McCur
Road would uh would allow you to do so
[54:10] those would be using the 85th
percentile. Mercury Road uh based on the
[54:14] criteria would would allow you the 50th
percentile.
[54:18] That answer your question?
>> Yep. Thank you.
[54:20] » Anyone else?
Okay. And the township is here. So, I
[54:26] guess we have questions for the
township. Do we want to hear from the
[54:28] township? You're welcome to come up and
[54:43] good evening. I'm Jim Schwarzbock, the
road commissioner up in Manchester
[54:46] Township. And that's Tim Hall, the
supervisor for Manchester Township. And
[54:50] the way this all got started is this
spring I have a resident that lives on
[54:55] grade school road that had a heart
attack last year and he walks every
[54:58] morning and he approached me and he
says, "Can we do anything about the
[55:01] speed limits on grade school road?" He
says, "I've got people driving by me at
[55:05] 65 and 70 mph." I said, "I can look into
it." And that's how the ball got
[55:09] rolling. And then I got started thinking
about our roads up there.
[55:14] Our roads are different than probably
most other townships in the area because
[55:20] we have narrow roads.
I've cleaned back the rideways the best
[55:25] I can with what money I have to work
with, but we still have a lot of tree
[55:28] growth and a lot of vegetation that's
close to the edge of the roads. So, you
[55:32] have problem with animals crossing in
front of traffic. We have people now
[55:36] that are riding their bikes in the area,
which they always have, but now it seems
[55:41] a lot more people are riding bikes. I
have neighbors that walk their kids and
[55:45] their dogs up and down Rockton Road, up
and down McCur Road, down Free Church
[55:50] Road. It's all about safety in my mind.
I don't think I have a road in my
[55:56] township that warrants a 55 mph
speeding.
[55:59] We passed a resolution on the township
level two months ago.
[56:04] » Yes.
>> That all our roads be 45 miles an hour
[56:07] in the township.
That's that's where we stand in the
[56:12] study. I've done is I've talked to
people that are out walking and
[56:16] neighbors. They all think it's a great
idea to have 35 mph speed limits on
[56:20] Rockton and Mccur. And then we started
on grade school road with 45 mph. And
[56:26] then like I said, the resolution to make
everything 45 mph.
[56:30] And at 35 mph speed limit, especially on
Mccuri, like Justin was talking about
[56:35] the 50 percentile, if you've never been
on that road, it starts up high, comes
[56:40] down, curves around down a hill over a
creek. There's two driveways at the
[56:44] bottom of the hill, so they're hidden,
basically hidden entrances. We have the
[56:48] same thing on Rocken Road. halfway down
the road down the hill, two driveways on
[56:52] either side. And the one thing that's
going to happen more now is people get
[56:57] off 90 on Rockton Road and they use it
for a cut through. Rockton Road's got
[57:02] new pavement on it. So I get a lot more
traffic and now when the towway raises
[57:06] their rates, you're going to get a lot
more traffic cutting off the tollway
[57:10] coming through our township.
>> Okay, questions.
[57:15] over.
>> What is the speed limit in Wnebago
[57:17] County
on these adjacent roads?
[57:23] » Rockton Road is 45 miles an hour on the
other side of county line.
[57:26] » 45
>> 45
[57:29] » and Mccur,
>> same thing.
[57:36] But that stretch of rock and road that
Winnebago County has, it's actually
[57:40] Rosco Township and they have their
rightway back 30t on either side of the
[57:44] road and it's a straight shot from
County Line to White School Road.
[57:50] » And they're wide. They're wide up there.
>> Yeah. And their pavement's wider, too.
[57:54] Their Their pavement is 24 foot wide. My
roads at the widest are 20t wide.
[58:03] » Okay. Further questions, Mr. Thornberry?
I don't have a question, but like I said
[58:08] at one of our other meetings, I've
driven not all of those roads up there,
[58:12] but from Rocken Road south,
I've driven the roads that have been
[58:16] mentioned. And
to me, 45 is fine. I can't see any
[58:21] reason to reduce it 35. It just doesn't
make any sense for that kind of country.
[58:28] » Well, I've timed it from county line to
free church going 35 miles an hour. It
[58:32] takes you two minutes. So if you need to
go faster than that, you should have
[58:37] left earlier.
>> We can use logic all we want, but based
[58:43] on experience, people don't really pay
attention to speed limit.
[58:48] » People don't pay attention to stop signs
and stop lights.
[58:50] » I know.
>> So I can put all the signs up I want.
[58:52] All I'm doing is maybe the honest people
will slow down and maybe the people that
[58:56] go 70 mph will go 55 instead of 70 if
they see a 35 or 45 mph speed limit
[59:01] sign.
>> Right. I don't have a problem with 45
[59:05] because that those roads are 45 mph
roads. I just can't see 35.
[59:12] » Further questions or comments from the
board.
[59:17] » Mr. Walber,
>> I I find it interesting that u
[59:21] where you're talking about there on
Grace Road that the sheriff lives next
[59:26] to this individual.
>> Sheriff what
[59:29] » and sheriff? Yeah. Yeah. of county
sheriff. Uh you would think that we
[59:35] would get some patrolling work done up
there or something. Have you how is have
[59:39] you had accidents or what what what
brings you to this conclusion that that
[59:42] this has to be done? Is it accidents? Is
it do we have increased traffic tickets
[59:47] being made up there or what's going on?
>> Safety is my big thing. And as far as
[59:51] patrols, we don't get much because I
actually take my wife to work in the
[59:55] morning. We go down Rock and Road and we
go to County Line and stop the corner.
[59:59] You can sit there for 10 minutes and
watch six or seven people blow through
[1:00:02] the stop sign. And I've called the
sheriff to go up there and sit and write
[1:00:06] tickets. They're too busy or they'll get
to it when they can or it's shift change
[1:00:10] at 5:30. We don't have time.
>> I I know they've done a lot in the
[1:00:15] county recently with the stop sign
monitoring and that. So, I think there's
[1:00:19] been an increase in in trying to help
help that matter. But, uh, yeah, my
[1:00:24] concern is is is maybe having a speed
study done to try to make sure that
[1:00:28] we're doing making the right decisions
here as a county board.
[1:00:31] » Okay. Anyone else? Mr. Wy,
>> this seems to me to be pretty simple and
[1:00:37] Jim has described what's going on with
those two roads and how they're
[1:00:41] restricted. more bicycles and people are
moving faster and there's more cars and
[1:00:46] they the tolls tollway raise information
uh costs will cause more traffic to come
[1:00:52] through there. This is to me this is
common sense and I will be voting yes
[1:00:57] for this 35 especially on those two
streets. It's u you don't I don't want
[1:01:03] to see somebody get killed because we
didn't do this.
[1:01:09] » Anyone else?
Okay. Uh, do want to say a couple words.
[1:01:16] I think it's wrong to change these speed
limits without doing a speed study.
[1:01:22] There's a reason you do speed studies.
There's a reason you have those tools.
[1:01:26] And we can say it's common sense or we
can say it just feels right. But the
[1:01:31] facts are the facts. And that's what a
speed study gives us is it gives us that
[1:01:35] information to make that decision. Um, I
I haven't heard of an overabundance of
[1:01:42] of traffic accidents
in these areas. Um, I understand slower
[1:01:50] speeds or safer speeds.
We are a rural county.
[1:01:56] We have to remember that, too. It's not
Lake County. It's not Cook County. It's
[1:02:01] not even Mckenry County. I mean, we're
definitely more rural and we need to
[1:02:06] take all those factors into account.
Speed study will help us do that. I I
[1:02:10] don't think putting up a 45 mph speed
limit sign is going to stop somebody
[1:02:14] that's going 70 mph down the road going
70 mi down the road. They don't care
[1:02:18] already.
So, it's not going to make them care a
[1:02:22] little more because, well, I'd be
getting a ticket for a little. They
[1:02:25] don't care.
They don't care because they're blowing
[1:02:30] the stop signs. Like you said, I see it
all the time, too. It It's It's crazy.
[1:02:35] Um
I'm I'm definitely not in favor of of
[1:02:40] doing this without a speed study. If we
did a speed study, I would certainly
[1:02:45] consider it, but not without doing a
speed study.
[1:02:48] That's my two cents. So, that being
said, let's uh let's roll call this just
[1:02:55] so we make sure we get the right count.
[1:03:00] Roll call, please.
>> Dave Cordre,
[1:03:03] » yes.
>> Brian Schneider,
[1:03:05] » yes.
>> David Wily,
[1:03:06] » yes.
>> Lisa Patterson,
[1:03:12] » no.
>> Tom Walberg,
[1:03:14] » no.
>> Rodney Riley,
[1:03:17] » no.
>> Matt Reggano,
[1:03:20] » yes.
>> Dana Lockton,
[1:03:22] » I
>> Marian Thornberry,
[1:03:24] » no.
>> Carl Johnson,
[1:03:26] » no.
>> Josh Shoemaker,
[1:03:28] » no. Motion fails.
Thank you.
[1:03:34] Next item. I'd ask for a motion to
approve ordinance 2631,
[1:03:38] moving the original planning commission
to chapter 2, article 7, administration
[1:03:43] of the county code.
[1:03:50] Anyone want to make that miss by Mr.
Thornberry, seconded by
[1:03:55] Mr. Reggano. Discussion staff.
Again, this ordinance is with regards to
[1:04:01] the regional planning commission section
of the um county code is currently in
[1:04:08] chapter 62. We're uh recommending that
it be changed and moved to chapter 2 and
[1:04:13] the administrative code. The language is
remains the same. It's just moving to a
[1:04:18] different location.
>> Okay. Any questions? Mr. Wily,
[1:04:21] » moved.
>> We already had a motion
[1:04:25] » and second.
>> My apologies.
[1:04:26] » Okay. Any other discussion?
All in favor say I.
[1:04:31] » I.
>> Oppos.
[1:04:33] » Motion carries. Thank you.
[clears throat] It ask for a motion to
[1:04:36] approve ordinance 26-32 moving the
zoning board of appeals to chapter 2
[1:04:41] article 8 administration of the county
code.
[1:04:44] Mr. Wahberg, seconded by M. Mr. Reggano.
>> Yes. So, this particular [clears throat]
[1:04:51] was within our um zoning ordinance. It
was recommended by our consultants that
[1:04:55] it be um moved to the administrative
chapter which is chapter 2 which is the
[1:05:00] same chapter as what we uh were just
referencing for the regional planning
[1:05:03] commission. So then the zoning board of
appeals will also be listed in that
[1:05:07] chapter administration chapter 2.
>> Okay, any questions?
[1:05:12] All in favor say I.
>> I
[1:05:15] motion carries. I'd ask for a motion to
approve ordinance 26-29,
[1:05:21] an ordinance amending the Boone County
Code to insert as appendix C, the Boone
[1:05:25] County storm water protection and NPD
permits of the Boone County Code
[1:05:33] » by Mr. Reggano, seconded by Mr. Wahberg.
Staff report.
[1:05:40] » So, this particular section was um
within our subdivision ordinance. It was
[1:05:45] uh recommended by our consultants that
it be moved into an appendix that is
[1:05:49] after our unified development
[clears throat] ordinance. None of the
[1:05:52] language is being changed other than the
um item is being moved to that location
[1:05:56] and it's being um referenced as the uh
standards for the unincorporated Boom
[1:06:02] County.
>> Thank you. Any questions for staff?
[1:06:07] Seeing none, all in favor say I. I
>> opposed. Motion carries. Thank you.
[1:06:13] Next, I'd ask for a motion to approve
ordinance 26-30, an ordinance amending
[1:06:17] the Boone County Code to insert as
appendix B, the Boone County Flood Plane
[1:06:22] Ordinance of the Boone County Code
by Mr. Wilty, seconded by Mr. Reggano.
[1:06:29] Staff report.
>> So, this language is actually a little
[1:06:32] more in-depth than the other three
ordinances that we had proposed. This is
[1:06:36] the floodplane ordinance language that
was recommended by the Illinois
[1:06:40] Department of Natural Resources. It's
been reviewed by them and it's uh
[1:06:45] basically a model of what they've uh
given us to insert into our ordinances
[1:06:51] and it's um [clears throat]
being doing that is in compliance with
[1:06:55] our flood uh insurance. So, it's
recommended that we insert this into our
[1:07:00] ordinance.
>> All right. Thank you. Any questions for
[1:07:03] staff?
All in favor say I. I.
[1:07:08] » Any opposed?
[1:07:11] Thank you. Nothing else for
administration. Mr. Wahlberg, finance.
[1:07:17] » Thank you, chairman. Number 11. Motion
to approve claims. Approve the claims
[1:07:23] the amount of
1,542,162.91
[1:07:31] with the understanding that Carl Johnson
abstains from voting on all claims
[1:07:34] presented by William Charles Northern
Illinois Service Company or in Maine.
[1:07:39] All claims submitted by the Boone County
Highway Department and all claims
[1:07:43] submitted by the county department
regarding sewage storm water
[1:07:46] construction and excavation.
>> Motion by Mr. Wahberg. Is there a
[1:07:51] second?
>> Second.
[1:07:53] » By Mr. Schneider,
discussion.
[1:07:57] Seeing none, roll call, please.
>> Brian Schneider,
[1:08:01] » yes.
>> David Wy,
[1:08:02] » hi.
>> Lisa Patterson,
[1:08:04] » yes.
>> Tom Walber,
[1:08:06] » hi.
>> Rodney Riley,
[1:08:07] » hi. Matt Reggano,
>> hi
[1:08:09] » Dana Lockton.
>> Hi.
[1:08:10] » Marian Thornberry.
>> Yes.
[1:08:11] » Carl Johnson.
>> Hi.
[1:08:13] » Josh Shoemaker.
>> Yes.
[1:08:14] » David Cordre.
>> Yes.
[1:08:15] » Harris. Thank you, Mr. Walber.
>> Okay. We we have we moved 11.1. So move
[1:08:22] on to 11.2.
Uh I move to approve hiring the IT
[1:08:27] intern and transition to full-time
employee.
[1:08:30] » Motion by Mr. Wahberg. Is there a second
by Mr. Riley? Discussion.
[1:08:35] There's a memo. Becky,
>> um Joe Shaden is on the phone. Um
[1:08:41] [clears throat] if there are any
questions, I know there was um
[1:08:44] discussion at finance about whether um
to keep our current intern as an intern
[1:08:50] and wait until the new fiscal year or um
make him a full-time employee effective
[1:08:56] immediately or September 1st or or
something like that. Um the difference
[1:09:00] in the cost between the two is about
$3,500 plus benefits obviously. Um
[1:09:07] I I'll turn it over to Joe if he has
anything else. I know um chairman wanted
[1:09:12] us to look into further um
[clears throat]
[1:09:15] reaching out to the townships in
district 2 about helping to finance this
[1:09:19] position by signing on with Boone County
IT. Um we have not had an opportunity to
[1:09:25] do that yet. Things have been pretty
hectic around here and it has been super
[1:09:29] busy with all the moves. Um Joe might be
able to elaborate elaborate on that a
[1:09:33] little bit.
>> Joe, yes. [clears throat] Um the
[1:09:38] townships have expressed interest
uh but the talks have not evolved to the
[1:09:44] point where we're talking numbers. So I
can't give you anything like that. Uh
[1:09:48] but they definitely are interested in
utilizing Boone's IT services.
[1:09:55] I've reached out to district 2 as well.
They do seem to be happy with where
[1:09:58] they're at, but uh they are asking to
come on to our calls for service for
[1:10:04] dispatching fire. Uh and I think that
would be a good opportunity to integrate
[1:10:09] with them then.
Okay. Questions for
[1:10:15] it?
[1:10:19] I guess I still have my my same
question.
[1:10:23] doesn't in here and I just didn't catch
it. Becky, where is the additional 14 or
[1:10:28] $17,000 going to come from
>> or the rest of this fiscal year? It
[1:10:33] would come out of contingencies.
[1:10:36] » Is there any other way to reduce
spending in some other area, something
[1:10:42] to come up with it? I'm just not a big
fan of using contingencies to
[1:10:47] to do that.
Um I mean looking at the IT budget in
[1:10:52] general, I think there's other areas
within the budget that we will um be
[1:10:58] under budget. Um some of the equipment
um some of the computers that we budget
[1:11:04] for um probably may or may not happen.
Am I correct in that, Joe? There's
[1:11:10] probably some some wiggle room there.
>> There [clears throat] absolutely is.
[1:11:14] Yes.
>> Yeah.
[1:11:17] How much do you think?
>> Um, I have to look.
[1:11:26] » Off the top of my head, I would say
somewhere between maybe five and 10,000.
[1:11:33] We've been we've budgeted for some and
graciously some departments that have
[1:11:38] other means to pay for their computers
like the state's attorney. Thank you,
[1:11:41] Trisha. Um, but we haven't had to use
the IT fund,
[1:11:46] » okay,
>> as much.
[1:11:48] » Right. We still need to decide as a
board if we're going to pass this which
[1:11:55] impacts we're going to take the 14,000
as an intern the rest of the year or 175
[1:12:00] as a a full-time. Mr. Wahberg, you look
like you're
[1:12:02] » No, that's Mr. Shim.
>> Mr.
[1:12:06] [clears throat] Joe, what what would you
recommend as far as should we keep him
[1:12:11] as an intern or are we pushing for a
full-time employee? Are we afraid that
[1:12:15] he's going to walk off or how do what do
we feel?
[1:12:19] » Uh I'm I'm pushing to hire. Yes. Uh he
uh has graduated college, has aged out,
[1:12:26] he's no longer on his parents'
insurance, so that is a concern for me.
[1:12:31] Um, and yes, he has spent uh I'm not
sure the exact amount of time,
[1:12:36] approximately four to five months
learning our environment, has done very
[1:12:40] well. Uh, is able to troubleshoot on his
own. I would hate to lose him because he
[1:12:46] needs to get insurance somewhere else.
[laughter]
[1:12:51] » Mr. Wbert,
>> thank you, Chairman. I guess that was my
[1:12:53] question to Miss Tobin. I mean, is that
So, I guess maybe I was just assuming
[1:12:58] the $3,500 would the additional cost of
the benefits. Is that not accurate? That
[1:13:03] » That's just salary. That's not benefits.
Your health insurance um for single is
[1:13:10] about um probably about 800 a month of
the employee [clears throat] portion.
[1:13:18] » Another $4,000.
>> There's three months left. So 2400.
[1:13:25] » Yes.
>> Yeah.
[1:13:25] » Yes. I think 500.
>> Yeah.
[1:13:29] » Okay.
>> And that's in the employee health fund.
[1:13:31] So nothing else would have additional
would have to be transferred from the
[1:13:34] general fund for that.
>> So an additional $2,400,
[1:13:38] » right?
>> Mr. Wilson.
[1:13:41] » Yes. And there's there's another factor
here. the additional months in this
[1:13:45] fiscal year that he would be a full-time
employee would uh help with his being
[1:13:51] invest he would have that much more time
even though it's only a few months on a
[1:13:55] pension and uh investing in that pension
which is now 10 years I think but it's
[1:14:02] still it's a minor benefit but it is a
benefit and altogether it seems to me
[1:14:07] that this is also an appropriate green
light for this uh young And to starting
[1:14:14] off as a full-time employee, the amounts
of money are insignificant, even if they
[1:14:20] were bad. But with the descriptions that
have been given by Becky about what was
[1:14:26] cut back in various departments,
including the state's attorney's office
[1:14:29] on some of the equipment, I believe we
should pass this.
[1:14:36] » Okay. Still waiting for a determination
on which direction the board would want
[1:14:40] to go. Somebody's going to have to amend
the motion, in other words, to one way
[1:14:46] or the other. Mr. Wily,
>> yes, I I would make it to the full-time
[1:14:49] employee at 17,500.
>> So, you're amending the motion to make
[1:14:53] it the full-time position at 17,500.
Is there a second for that?
[1:14:58] » Second.
>> Sorry, was that Mr. Riley?
[1:15:02] » Seconded by Mr. Riley. Any discussion on
making it uh the full-time employee for
[1:15:08] the remainder of the year?
Mr. Shoemaker,
[1:15:13] » I I think if we're going to do that, we
really should pursue those other avenues
[1:15:18] of revenue. I I think to really to
stress that we want to stay physically
[1:15:23] responsible. Let's make sure we get
those contracts done with the other
[1:15:27] departments.
>> You mean in the future?
[1:15:28] » Yes.
>> In the future,
[1:15:30] » correct?
>> Yeah. Our plan would be at the latest,
[1:15:34] we're hoping by December 1st, by the
beginning of our fiscal year that we're
[1:15:37] able to do that. ing talking to Joe
about that. We thought, you know, 3
[1:15:40] months that that is doable.
>> Okay. Any further discussion on the
[1:15:45] amendment?
>> Seeing none, all in favor of the
[1:15:50] amending the motion to make it a $17,500
full-time employee for the remainder of
[1:15:55] this year. Signify by saying I.
>> I.
[1:15:58] » Any opposed?
That motion carries. The motion is
[1:16:02] amended to make it uh to the full-time
position. Any further discussion on the
[1:16:08] motion alto together?

[1:18:03] building.
>> Hi. Well, okay. So, um I just want to
[1:18:07] let everybody that if you drive by the
community building anytime in the near
[1:18:13] future or you have in the last week,
they're working on the roof and it looks
[1:18:17] a little messy, but once um we've had
some kind of weird weather, the rains
[1:18:23] off and on, they were looking for a
really good stretch. Uh they're starting
[1:18:27] with the ground, this sounds weird to
say this, but the the ground level of
[1:18:31] the roof, like the first level of the
roof, and then they're moving up from
[1:18:34] there, and there's a massive dumpster
that's in uh the parking lot, which is
[1:18:39] making parking kind of interesting, but
they are working on it. Uh but it did
[1:18:44] not interfere with the fifth annual back
to school parking lot party that they
[1:18:47] had on Monday that was actually very
well attended seeing how most of the
[1:18:52] kids were at the pharaoh the previous
week. So that's what we got going on at
[1:18:58] the community building. But just a
reminder with like these back to school
[1:19:01] events that why we had this building and
it's amazing and they're really putting
[1:19:06] a lot of work into it this year and
there's more to come on that.
[1:19:10] » Thank you very much.
