[8:25] >> Okay. Do we have any presentations this
[8:26] evening, Kianne?
[8:28] >> We do not.
[8:30] >> All right. Under President's comments,
[8:32] um I know the long- aaited announcement
[8:34] is uh is on the the agenda. So, um so,
[8:39] as you all know, following Trustee
[8:40] Christensen's resignation, the village
[8:43] invited interested residents to apply
[8:45] for the vacant trustee position.
[8:48] I received eight applications and mayor
[8:51] uh promayani and I had the opportunity
[8:54] to meet individually with each of the
[8:55] candidates.
[8:58] We had several very strong candidates
[9:00] step forward and I really appreciated
[9:02] the time I got to spend with each one of
[9:04] them to meet with them and talk about
[9:07] why they wanted to serve. It made this a
[9:09] very difficult decision.
[9:12] After completing the interview process
[9:14] and carefully considering each of the
[9:15] candidates, tonight I'm pleased to
[9:18] announce that I will be recommending
[9:20] Frank Curillo to the village board for
[9:22] appointment as village trustee.
[9:24] Frank's been serving it for a long time.
[9:28] He started on the historical commission
[9:30] in 2012 and he moved to the plan
[9:33] commission in 2017.
[9:35] Over that time, he's gotten to know the
[9:38] village, our development process, and
[9:40] the kinds of issues that come before us.
[9:43] Frank's professional exper experience is
[9:46] also a good fit for the board. He works
[9:48] on complex projects, deals with budgets
[9:51] and contracts, and has to bring a lot of
[9:53] different people and interests together.
[9:58] That experience along with his years of
[9:59] service to the village has prepared him
[10:01] well to serve on the board.
[10:04] Frank has also worked through a number
[10:06] of important development and land issue land use issues during his time on
[10:10] the plan commission and has stepped in
[10:12] to lead the meetings when needed. He
[10:15] knows how the village works and I
[10:17] believe he will be able to hit the
[10:18] ground running.
[10:20] I also want to sincerely thank everyone
[10:22] who applied for the vacancy.
[10:25] I was really encouraged by the number of
[10:27] people who are willing to step up and
[10:29] serve the itasa.
[10:32] We could only recommend one person for
[10:34] this vacancy and I hope the others will
[10:36] stay involved. There are a lot of ways
[10:39] to serve the village and I plan to
[10:41] continue those conversations with each
[10:43] one of them.
[10:44] The village board will formally consider
[10:46] my recommendation to appoint Frank at
[10:48] our September 15th meeting. And if
[10:51] approved, Frank will serve until the
[10:52] municipal election on April 6th, 2027
[10:56] when I task of voters will elect a
[10:58] trustee to serve the remainder of the
[10:59] term through April of 2029. Frank, thank
[11:02] you for your willingness to cons
[11:04] continue serving the village. And
[11:06] congratulations
[11:09] [applause]
[11:14] » [clears throat]
[11:15] >> So with that, we'll go to audience
[11:16] participation. Have we anyone sign up?
[11:19] Okay, we'll go to first readings.
[11:21] Community development committee. Trusty
[11:23] Gabbanis.
[11:24] >> Thank you, Mr. Mayor. We have one item.
[11:26] Uh motion to wave second reading and
[11:29] take final action to approve ordinance
[11:31] number 2192-26
[11:34] an [snorts] ordinance granting temporary
[11:36] zoning certificates for off-site public
[11:38] parking and outdoor equipment storage at
[11:41] various locations throughout the village
[11:43] of Itasa in connection with the 2026
[11:46] President's Cup held at Madina Country
[11:49] Club. [snorts] um consider approval of

[12:08] The approvals have been requested to
[12:10] support parking and event operations
[12:12] associated with the 2026
[12:16] uh President's Cup and Badina Country
[12:17] Club. [clears throat]
[12:19] PGA Tour proposes the use of the
[12:21] following Itasca properties and you have
[12:23] them listed if you look at your agenda
[12:25] you have them listed they're basically
[12:26] the you know basically Hamilton Lakes
[12:29] buildings the Academy of Pediatrics you
[12:32] know vacant lot to Pierce one Pierce etc okay and um
[12:40] that's really all I have I have motion is out there
[12:44] >> yeah so just to
[12:45] >> oh you want to add something to
[12:47] >> I do sorry just Before you go, can I I
[12:50] just want to make a couple quick
[12:51] comments.
[12:52] >> Absolutely. Go ahead.
[12:53] >> Um, when this came to us probably 3 or 4
[12:56] weeks ago, I know we all kind of panic.
[12:58] So, I just wanted to thank staff and the
[13:00] PGA for getting this worked out in a
[13:02] very condensed schedule. So, thank you
[13:06] to both of you for getting this worked
[13:08] out.
[13:09] >> Appreciate that. So, and I would uh
[13:11] yeah, I would say the same thing. I
[13:13] appreciate the PGA. Joey Chitwood is
[13:15] here today. Um he's I think the
[13:17] executive director is what it is of the
[13:19] PGA Tour who's bringing uh the
[13:21] President's Cup here. Um so he's here to
[13:24] answer any questions that you may have
[13:25] today. I I would say that um it was
[13:29] definitely a different process this time
[13:31] and uh they know that it's a difference
[13:33] process too. I think the county had
[13:35] intended to kind of step in and do some
[13:37] things that then they weren't um
[13:39] adequately prepared or or able to
[13:42] coordinate. And so really want to thank
[13:44] the PGA um you know our partners at
[13:47] these various businesses who um kind of
[13:49] made us aware and kind of worked with us
[13:51] to get the information and 100% the
[13:53] police department who has just um Tom uh
[13:57] and Bob have been just you know kind of
[13:59] you know I said hey you know this is a
[14:01] really important event that's going to
[14:02] be happening you know right next to our
[14:04] community we need to figure out a way
[14:06] that we can you know help facilitate and
[14:08] help you know help make it a success.
[14:10] So, I appreciate your efforts in that
[14:13] regard. Um, and same thing with you,
[14:15] Joey. So, thank you.
[14:19] >> Trusty Gavanas, I have one question. It
[14:21] relates to the sunset on the Hey Market
[14:24] property. Why are we
[14:26] >> going as far as October 16th for that
[14:29] location when the others terminate on
[14:32] the 27th of September?
[14:33] >> Sure, I can answer that question for
[14:35] you. So the other locations you'll
[14:38] actually see it starts September 1st. So
[14:41] the public parking is for an absolute
[14:43] limited period of time in the storage.
[14:46] They're bringing in trailers to abs to
[14:48] unload what they need to to do to
[14:51] actually set up the event. So those are
[14:53] already arriving on the site. They'll be using them from
[14:57] the 22nd, actually a little bit you
[15:00] earlier because they have a a junior PGA
[15:03] tour and so they're using some of those
[15:04] things for that um through the 27th and
[15:07] then they start to break all of that
[15:09] down and as they break it down they'll
[15:11] remove it from the site, they'll put it
[15:12] back in the trailers and they'll ship it
[15:14] back where it needs to be. So we this
[15:17] gave them a couple week period of time
[15:19] to that that that they need to break
[15:22] down the site at Madina and remove those
[15:25] things just like right now they're
[15:26] putting them out. So [snorts]
[15:29] uh it was a little bit longer period of
[15:30] time and I will say um cuz I've
[15:32] obviously had some questions about this.
[15:34] None of these various property owners
[15:37] unfortunately except one contacted us to
[15:39] say like hey we're moving forward. We've
[15:42] reached this agreement. What do we need
[15:44] to do? One of them ended up reaching out
[15:46] to us which is how then we kind of were
[15:48] like oh yeah you actually need these
[15:51] temporary zoning certificates and this
[15:52] is how it was done in the past. So in
[15:55] the past when there was the uh BMW and
[15:58] Ryder and they would use various parking
[16:00] lots for various reasons um this is how
[16:03] it was done. So we just followed what
[16:04] had happened in [clears throat] the past
[16:06] once we became aware of where they were
[16:08] going to be in town. So, uh, and didn't
[16:11] turn down any of the property owners.
[16:15] >> Thank you.
[16:18] » Okay. Any other questions, comments?
[16:20] >> Yeah. So, we have a motion.
[16:22] >> Second.
[16:23] >> We need We need a second. [laughter]
[16:25] >> Okay.
[16:26] >> There is a motion and a second. Did Did
[16:28] you make part of the motion to wave
[16:30] second reading?
[16:30] >> I did. Yes.
[16:31] >> Okay. Okay.
[16:32] >> Afraid we
[16:33] >> have a motion and a second. Roll call,
[16:35] please.

[16:46] And
[16:49] » Capital Infrastructure Committee Trustee
[16:51] Daily.
[16:52] >> Thank you, Mayor. Uh we have four items
[16:54] on the agenda this evening. Um the first
[16:57] is related to uh waving the formal
[17:00] bidding process for media um associated
[17:04] with our Purafhill odor control.
[17:08] Uh this is um something we've already
[17:11] purchased and it's one of those
[17:14] situations where it's a sole source um
[17:16] opportunity. The equipment uses one
[17:19] specific type of media. It just so
[17:22] happens it's this puraphil odor control.
[17:25] Uh the amount of this order was $27,890
[17:30] and
[17:32] um the budgeted amount was $35,000. So
[17:35] it's under the budget. It's an approved
[17:37] item. It's just that we didn't go
[17:40] through the formal bidding process. Any
[17:42] questions? I'd ask you to direct them to
[17:44] either Carrie or Mike.
[17:47] Hearing none, I'd like to make a motion
[17:49] to wave the second reading and take
[17:50] final action to wave the formal bidding
[17:52] process and approve the purchase of
[17:53] Periphill Odor Control Media through LII
[17:56] Limited in the amount of $27,890.
[18:00] » Second.
[18:02] >> There's a motion and a second. Roll

[18:09] >> Ayani
[18:10] >> four,

[18:13] >> This next item is also related to waving
[18:15] a first reading and taking final action
[18:18] to wave the formal bidding process and
[18:19] approve the purchase of an icon straight
[18:21] arbor shelter through Parkre Creation,
[18:23] Inc. in the amount of up to $35,000
[18:26] for the Orchard and Maple Streetscape
[18:29] project. So in this case there is um
[18:34] discussion uh we talked to Mike about
[18:36] this today also where uh some decorative
[18:38] elements along the streetscape project
[18:40] could include this uh raised arbor that
[18:43] would sit in one of the bumpouts along
[18:44] the parking. Uh it's in your packet.
[18:46] There's a sketch of it. Actually there's
[18:48] a couple sketches of it isometrics and a
[18:50] plan view. Uh essentially Mike is
[18:52] looking public works is requesting an
[18:55] allowance of up to $35,000 pending final
[18:58] decision on the shape of this uh element
[19:01] [snorts] to be put into the project.
[19:03] It's not an approved item per se as a
[19:05] line item, but it is part of the overall
[19:09] $2 million budget for the project. And
[19:12] uh Mike and I spoke about how the
[19:14] budget's tracking and it looks like
[19:16] there's plenty of space for this to be
[19:17] part of the project. Any questions? I'd
[19:20] also ask you to direct them to Mike.
[19:25] Hearing none, I'd like to make a motion
[19:27] to wave the first reading and take final
[19:29] action to wave the formal bidding
[19:30] process and approve the purchase of an
[19:33] Icon Straight Arbor Shelter through Park
[19:34] Recreation, Inc. in the amount of up to

[19:54] >> Thank you. Third item is a motion to
[19:56] accept the low bid from Synagro Central
[20:01] in the amount of $90,000 for our 2026
[20:04] through 2028 bioolids hauling program.
[20:08] This is related to our EPA uh
[20:10] requirements for operating the
[20:12] wastewater treatment plant. Uh four
[20:14] biders respond or there were four plan
[20:16] holders. Two responded. Synagro was the
[20:18] low bid of $90,000.
[20:20] Uh it turns out they actually purchased
[20:22] our prior vendor DOM. Uh this is a
[20:26] budgeted item. Uh it's a three-year
[20:28] project. Um the budget yearon year is
[20:32] $55,000. Next year's uh spend would be
[20:36] $28,800.
[20:37] The following year would be $30,000 and
[20:39] the final year would be $31,200
[20:42] for a rolled up total of $90,000.
[20:46] Any questions?
[20:50] Hearing none, I'd like to make a motion
[20:51] to accept the low bid from Synagro
[20:54] Central LLC in the amount of $9,000 for

[21:12] >> Thank you. And the final item is related
[21:14] to the low bid uh by Globe construction
[21:18] for our concrete removal and replacement
[21:21] contract. Again, on this bid opening,
[21:23] there were four plan holders, but only
[21:25] one responsive bidder being Globe. Their
[21:28] budget uh for the line items that were
[21:31] presented to them was $89,980.
[21:34] Our approved budget for next year for
[21:37] fiscal [snorts] year 2027 is $50,000.
[21:40] Uh and the way this would work is half
[21:42] of the uh work would happen in this year
[21:45] and then the balance of the contract
[21:47] would happen under next year's budget
[21:49] allocation to finish out the work. This
[21:51] is related to uh removing drive aprons,
[21:54] curbon gutter, sidewalks and so forth
[21:56] and replacing. Uh I looked at the bid
[21:59] items. I mean everything looked to be in
[22:01] line. Um
[22:04] any questions
[22:07] hearing? None. And I'd like to make a
[22:08] motion to accept the low bid from Globe
[22:10] Construction, Inc. in the amount of
[22:11] $89,980

[24:53] Bob.
[24:53] >> Uh thanks, mayor. Um I just want to give
[24:56] a a shout back out to uh the village
[24:58] administrator. She was um extremely
[25:01] involved with uh with this PGA. It was
[25:04] her her push to get this thing going. It
[25:06] was her tenaciousness to schedule and
[25:09] meet and and hold hold timelines and and discussions to to the situation at
[25:14] hand. Um you know, we did some stuff on
[25:16] our end of PD, but it it started with
[25:18] her. So, thank you for that. Um
[25:22] so, uh this past week had a couple some
[25:25] interesting calls. officers did respond
[25:26] to a uh a pretty violent domestic revol
[25:30] in rev involving an adult son and a set
[25:32] of parents uh late in the evening hours.
[25:35] Uh um the the the one person was either
[25:40] under the influence of drugs or
[25:41] intoxicated but he was possessing a
[25:42] knife. Um officers encountered that
[25:45] situation. They used deescalation
[25:47] tactics. um removed the removed the
[25:50] parents from the home and um ultimately
[25:52] was able to bring that uh matter to a
[25:56] peaceful resolution um for now.
[25:59] Uh we also had officers responded to a
[26:02] young adult who was um [clears throat]
[26:05] um having some trouble in life and was
[26:08] um standing by one of our bridges. And
[26:10] once again, uh, we we really promote the
[26:13] mental health, mental health training.
[26:15] Um, and those officers were able to
[26:17] speak to that individual, get the
[26:18] paramedics there, and individual agreed
[26:21] to go for medical assessment.
[26:24] Um, we had a 2-year-old child that um
[26:27] left an apartment and uh was walking
[26:30] around the halls and making his way down
[26:32] to uh some areas on unsupervised. Uh,
[26:36] somebody's record saw him. Uh we were on
[26:38] our way. Parents were about then
[26:41] realized the child was missing and so
[26:43] the child and the parents were reunited.
[26:45] Um the kid was a little hard to crack.
[26:48] He wouldn't explain too much to us how
[26:50] we got out but we we we surmised how we
[26:52] got out. Um so and then we have uh it's
[26:56] nice to hear that there's still a lot of
[26:58] civility in the world. a U men's Rolex
[27:01] watch valued about $30,000 was uh lost
[27:04] or left behind at a wedding at the uh at
[27:06] a hotel in town. A a gentleman found
[27:09] that and uh turned it in to the police
[27:13] and um sure enough a couple days later
[27:16] the owner of that watch went contact the
[27:19] hotel. They said we'll call the Tesco
[27:21] police. They did. They came in u showed
[27:24] proof of that it was their watch and we
[27:25] were able to reunite him and his watch.
[27:27] But a a good Samaritan had actually, you
[27:29] know, took possession of that watch
[27:31] initially and and and did the right
[27:32] thing and turned it in.
[27:34] >> It worked.
[27:35] >> So, it it did it was Yes, it did work.
[27:38] >> Um last week, uh uh we reviewed the
[27:43] school safety plans for the start of the
[27:45] school year with the superintendent and
[27:47] the fire department stuff. So, uh, once
[27:50] again, the school, uh, uh, former
[27:52] superintendent Bennis left the school in
[27:54] a great situation and, uh,
[27:56] superintendent weeks will follow
[27:57] through. So, um, those were all all up
[28:00] to standard, up to date. And then, uh,
[28:03] today we designated for today, tomorrow,
[28:04] and even in the, um, into probably the
[28:07] end of the week, we designated the PD as
[28:08] a cooling center. So, should some
[28:10] persons need need relief, it is
[28:13] available at the PD.
[28:15] Thank you. That's it. Thank you.
[28:18] Mike.
[28:19] >> Yeah. Thanks, Mayor. Just a couple
[28:21] things. Uh Hard Rock, our concrete
[28:24] slicer, is working in town right now. Um
[28:26] they're in the newer country club area
[28:28] and they're working south and west and
[28:31] they should be able to do the entire
[28:33] north side in this project. Um so that
[28:35] would be a huge benefit to walking
[28:38] pedestrians. Um, we also have had
[28:42] [snorts] a couple meetings with the
[28:43] Itasca school district um to discuss the
[28:47] construction project, bus routing, you
[28:50] know, where children are getting picked
[28:51] up that are in the construction areas,
[28:53] all all that. Um, they're actually
[28:56] reconfiguring their drop off area in the
[28:59] Peacock area and their how their buses
[29:02] are going to navigate through the site
[29:04] as well as part of it. Um, but we've
[29:06] been working with them very closely and
[29:08] keeping them informed of all of our
[29:10] projects, construction. So, that's it.
[29:13] >> Thank you, Mark.
[29:16] >> Uh, thanks, Mayor. Just a couple uh
[29:18] construction project updates. The
[29:20] Orchard Street streetscape, the
[29:21] contractor was out today starting to
[29:23] reform uh for the sidewalk and the curb.
[29:27] Uh we do not have a pour date yet for
[29:29] that, but um that should be coming up
[29:31] soon. uh the Schiller Pond project, the
[29:34] contractor was able to pour the driveway
[29:36] apron uh access to the lift station and
[29:39] the sidewalk and uh curb. So, we're just
[29:42] waiting on uh the electrical relocation
[29:45] to finish that uh that project up. Um
[29:49] and then the [clears throat] roadway and
[29:50] infrastructure phase three project um as
[29:52] we reported last meeting will be
[29:54] starting after Labor Day, September 8th.
[29:57] Um, so you see a lot of construction up
[29:59] and down Center Street and that kind of
[30:01] first first portion of the phase three
[30:04] project south of Division.
[30:07] That's it.
[30:07] >> Thank you, Deian.
[30:09] >> Thanks, Mayor. Uh, just a reminder,
[30:12] October Fest is going to be uh next week
[30:16] uh business appreciation night will be
[30:18] on se I'm sorry. Yeah. Uh next week,
[30:21] September 10th, uh is business
[30:23] appreciation night and then uh it opens
[30:26] up to the public on September 11th and
[30:28] 12th. Uh we also have our Itaska Impact
[30:32] Awards on Sunday um uh September 13th
[30:36] and it will be from noon to 2:00 p.m. We
[30:40] will be announcing the winners uh
[30:42] tomorrow, but we've got uh 10 people who
[30:44] will be receiving awards.
[30:47] Um and to give you an update on the
[30:50] President's Cup, uh we are making
[30:52] progress. Um in front of you is uh the
[30:56] brochure that we are working on that
[30:58] will be in the hotel rooms. Um and uh
[31:03] guests who are attending for the PGA
[31:06] will be receiving that along with a
[31:08] little gift bag welcoming them to the
[31:11] village. Um the brochure will be guiding
[31:14] people to our only Itasca website which
[31:17] is um getting its final touches before
[31:19] it goes live, but that will be a central
[31:21] location to show where our restaurants
[31:24] are, what events are happening. Um and
[31:28] it'll be utilized moving forward all
[31:30] year round by the different businesses.
[31:33] Um so far we have about $65,000
[31:37] in requests for doing events. Um a lot
[31:40] all of our hotels are participating and
[31:44] we'll be putting on events that um
[31:47] residents and visitors alike can go to
[31:49] and some of our local hotels are also
[31:51] planning things. Um, a lot of it is
[31:54] centered on golf. So, doing some tea
[31:56] times and uh putting at their facilities
[32:00] along with uh simulators and they're
[32:03] going to have um live music and then um
[32:07] dinner and lunch specials as well. So,
[32:10] we'll be encouraging everybody to look
[32:12] at only uh.com to get information and
[32:16] we'll be doing a launch on our social
[32:18] media for it. We're also going to be
[32:20] having banners um at key intersections
[32:24] at uh Bloomingdale Road and Rowling,
[32:27] over in Hamilton Partners, over by
[32:30] Eaglewood, over by Hyatt um and the
[32:33] Weston uh advertising uh the only in
[32:36] Itasa as well as welcoming the PGA
[32:39] visitors.
[32:41] [snorts]
[32:41] >> Dan, um thank you for the report. uh
[32:45] would we be able to get uh something a
[32:48] copy or send out a note as to some of
[32:51] these events taking place that we're
[32:53] helping to sponsor?
[32:54] >> Yes, I am sorry the dates.
[32:56] >> Yeah, I will have a list for you uh next
[32:58] week uh with all the dates to show
[33:01] what's happening.
[33:02] >> Okay, thank you. Thank you,
[33:07] » Curtis. Thanks, Mayor. Uh no update for
[33:09] me tonight, Jennifer.
[33:12] >> Thank you, Mayor. I just have one update
[33:14] on recruitment. We did post for the
[33:17] innovation and IT project manager
[33:19] position. Applications are going to be
[33:22] received till September 21st. So if you
[33:24] know someone with at least 5 years of
[33:27] IT/ project management experience,
[33:30] please uh direct them to the website.
[33:33] Thank you.
[33:34] >> Thank you, Kianne.
[33:37] >> Hi, I do have a few just updates to uh
[33:39] today just to make the board aware of.
[33:41] Um, first is that uh this last weekend
[33:44] we received uh several complaints I just
[33:47] want the board to know regarding traffic
[33:48] and parking and they were actually from
[33:50] two locations. One was it was I guess a
[33:54] mess over by Usher Park during prom. So,
[33:57] we're going to kind of make some
[33:59] probably adjustments moving forward with
[34:01] when they're going to have prom and
[34:03] graduations of potentially um looking at
[34:07] restricting parking to one side of the
[34:09] street because we actually had people
[34:10] that were parking in front of people's
[34:13] um you know, the people weren't able to
[34:16] get in their driveways and honestly
[34:18] people were having a hard time getting
[34:19] down the roadway. So, we're just going
[34:20] to have to keep those on our schedule.
[34:22] That's going to be something we do new
[34:24] moving forward is to keep that event on
[34:26] our schedule and then just make sure
[34:27] that we get out there in advance and
[34:29] post to be one side only.
[34:31] >> So when when will you start this?
[34:34] >> Uh and so the next time we'll get
[34:36] something big will be graduation. So it
[34:38] will be graduation photos
[34:40] >> come for homecoming.
[34:42] >> Well, homecoming was coming is this
[34:44] weekend.
[34:45] >> Homecoming was this past weekend. That
[34:47] was the what we had.
[34:48] >> Well, I I wasn't invited. I mean,
[34:50] [laughter]
[34:52] >> so we'll probably look at prom and
[34:53] graduation will be the other ones. So,
[34:55] it won't be till the spring again, but
[34:57] we're intending to just
[34:59] >> Can you maybe let District 10 and
[35:02] District 108 let us know when those
[35:05] dates are?
[35:06] >> We will. So, we will kind of reach out
[35:08] and make sure that we get those. They
[35:10] actually have them posted on our website
[35:11] on their website. So we just need need
[35:13] to go down and just put it in part of
[35:15] our process and then you know get some
[35:17] temporary signs out because normally
[35:19] it's not a a big deal but you know
[35:21] during those times it's very difficult
[35:23] for the residents there as well as
[35:24] people who are just driving through that
[35:26] area. It's very difficult to get down
[35:27] Walnut Street which is obviously a major
[35:29] street to go through and it really isn't
[35:32] going to I mean that you can park on
[35:33] Grove you can park a little bit further
[35:35] down and still make that walk. So,
[35:37] >> and even Maple was I mean there's no way
[35:40] you would have got an emergency vehicle
[35:41] down
[35:43] >> 100%. So, and we need to let people know
[35:45] where those parking lots are, you know,
[35:47] things like that. So, um that works a
[35:50] little bit better. So, we're aware of
[35:51] that. The other place was at um 207 East
[35:54] Center. So, they actually had a larger
[35:56] uh religious celebration that happened
[35:58] this weekend. There was a lot of
[36:00] parking,
[36:02] [cough] apparently parking issues there.
[36:05] So, excuse me. [cough]
[36:12] Um, so we'll be following up with the
[36:13] mosque, especially given the fact that
[36:15] we have some construction that's coming and we have done some um
[36:19] preliminary reachouts to them, but we're
[36:21] going to be talking we're going to be
[36:23] looking at marking Center Street so that
[36:26] there is no parking during construction.
[36:28] Obviously, um trying to move that
[36:31] parking back and forth while it's under
[36:32] construction would be difficult. So that
[36:35] means you're going to have bleed over
[36:37] into the other areas, which would be the
[36:40] side streets there that are not wide
[36:42] enough to park two cars and get an
[36:44] emergency vehicle through. So during the
[36:47] north side infrastructure project, those
[36:49] streets from Elm all the way through
[36:52] Cherry are going to be posted that it is
[36:55] no parking on one side of the street.
[36:58] So,
[36:59] uh, primarily on Fridays, we're going to
[37:01] kind of look at their whether there are
[37:03] other days, but on on the other days,
[37:06] there's usually not enough cars. They
[37:08] can kind of weave in and out. But on the
[37:10] Friday, when there are services, they can't park on both sides of the
[37:14] street and then get traffic through.
[37:16] Yes,
[37:16] >> Carrie. I I'm familiar with those
[37:18] streets and I don't know if this is a
[37:20] police department matter or our matter.
[37:22] I just don't understand why it's why you
[37:24] don't restrict parking to one side of
[37:26] the street all the time.
[37:28] >> We have talked about that. We actually
[37:30] had an open house with the residents um
[37:32] regarding that and there was some mixed
[37:35] feelings about that. It's not a problem
[37:37] most of the time. Uh and they didn't
[37:40] want to have you a lot of the residents
[37:41] there were like we don't want to not be
[37:43] able to park in front of our house. Um
[37:46] and so at the you know over the last
[37:48] year even through the spring religious
[37:51] celebrations we did not have massive
[37:54] issues. Uh there seems to have been a
[37:56] miscommunication in the fall. So we want
[37:58] to try to rectify that moving forward
[38:01] and and
[38:04] [cough]
[38:04] [clears throat] sorry
[38:06] rectify that moving forward. Thank you.
[38:09] And [clears throat] see um what we can
[38:11] do. But I I think that once the the uh once the streets get widened, you
[38:19] probably on most of them will be able to
[38:21] get two cars in emergency vehicle. And
[38:24] if not, we most likely will post them at
[38:26] that time.
[38:27] >> How about one-way streets?
[38:32] » I mean, I suppose all that could be on
[38:34] the table. Uh, I think the residents
[38:36] would have some pretty
[38:37] >> we ran a lot of this past
[38:39] >> residents and the solution we kind of
[38:42] came up with was what everyone kind of
[38:44] wanted and it has worked. So, I don't
[38:47] know that we have to
[38:48] >> throw everything out. I just think we
[38:50] need this one or anything discussed.
[38:54] >> Yeah, we actually had an open house. We
[38:55] looked at oneway streets. We looked at a
[38:56] lot of different things at that and
[38:58] there's just, you know, not unonymity. I
[39:00] think what's going to be really um
[39:02] interesting here is that we're going
[39:03] into a time of construction. We're going
[39:05] to have to adjust during construction
[39:08] that construction is going to be moving
[39:09] at different streets at different times
[39:10] and so they're going to have to get used
[39:12] to not parking on the street period. So
[39:14] that might be the time when we open
[39:17] streets back up to move it to just one
[39:19] side and see how it works cuz they won't
[39:22] have been they'll be used to parking on
[39:24] one side throughout the construction.
[39:27] So, um, but center is going to be the
[39:30] most impactful because the people who go
[39:32] there park on center primarily and
[39:36] that's just not going to be a
[39:37] possibility over construction. So, we're
[39:39] working with them. You know, we have
[39:42] already talked to them about moving to
[39:44] the metro lot that is by the school district um facility there. It's
[39:50] really only a couple blocks away and it
[39:52] is the best place for their parishioners
[39:54] to park. So, we just need to work with
[39:56] them to do that and they've been really
[39:57] good in the past. So, I think, you know,
[40:00] we're hopeful that we're able to
[40:02] alleviate the situation pretty quickly,
[40:03] but I wanted to make you aware of it.
[40:05] >> Kianne, just a question or two on that
[40:07] real quick. One is, is there a
[40:09] congregation primarily from outside of
[40:12] Itasa?
[40:13] >> It is.
[40:13] >> So, they're not necessarily kind of
[40:15] seeing our construction project
[40:17] dayto-day. So there's going to be people
[40:18] coming into town that so that the mosque
[40:21] is going to have to communicate to the
[40:22] parishioners to say, "Okay, so that's
[40:24] part one. Part two is based on the
[40:26] amount of traffic we saw this past
[40:28] weekend. Are we are we still confident
[40:30] that they're not exceeding their number
[40:32] of people in the building per the fire
[40:34] code?
[40:35] >> Are we confident? I mean, nobody was
[40:37] there this past, but based on the I
[40:40] mean, there's a lot of people that can
[40:41] fit in that building in the various
[40:43] different rooms and levels. It is we are
[40:45] fairly confident that even at their peak
[40:49] they will not exceed and that is based
[40:51] on both the amount of people that can
[40:54] fit in that total building as well as
[40:57] the fire department's assessment of it.
[40:59] Now in various rooms there's only
[41:02] supposed to be so many people in various
[41:04] rooms so many people in that and I know
[41:06] that when the fire department has gone a
[41:08] couple times to they have not found them
[41:10] to be over. So even when people are
[41:13] concerned that they're over, they
[41:14] haven't been over.
[41:15] >> All right. Thank you.
[41:20] » Okay. So, um, beyond that, there was a
[41:24] pretty significant power outage in town
[41:26] today. For those of you who, um, might
[41:28] have experienced that, there were a
[41:29] total of 1,700 customers out. um just
[41:32] the uh uh end of that it was an
[41:36] underground fault um in a main line and
[41:39] so people were out from kind of the I I
[41:41] don't know how far north it went but
[41:43] definitely most of the south side um of
[41:47] >> we were out by at least up to center
[41:49] street.
[41:50] >> Yeah.
[41:50] >> Okay. So you were up at least to center
[41:52] street and then all the way down into
[41:54] Addison on both sides. Yeah. It was a
[41:56] fairly large fault. So, um, they were
[41:59] able to reroute it and get it up pretty
[42:01] quickly. They're, um,
[42:03] >> about an hour.
[42:04] >> Yeah, it was. Yeah, just about just a
[42:06] little over an hour. So, they were out.
[42:08] So, yeah. Um, but if you wondered what
[42:10] happened, that was it. So, uh, wanted to
[42:13] since I got that information, speaking
[42:15] of commed,
[42:17] uh, because of the storms this summer, a
[42:20] lot of the comm work had had to be
[42:23] delayed, which meant the scheduled work
[42:27] has been pushed back sometimes a month
[42:29] to two months. And so this is impacting
[42:32] the Spring Brook Nature Center project
[42:34] um which they needed a new they need an
[42:37] electrical pole that needed to be um
[42:40] moved and um [clears throat] basically
[42:44] uh upgraded. Uh KMED had contacted them
[42:47] already that the next time there was
[42:49] going to be construction they were going
[42:50] to need an upgrade there. And so, um, we
[42:54] have put it on our list as a priority
[42:56] and have been interfacing back and
[42:58] forth, uh, with KMED on behalf of the
[43:01] contractor on a regular basis. Um,
[43:04] unfortunately, at this point, I'm not
[43:06] sure that they're going to be able to
[43:07] get that project completed. And if they
[43:10] don't, the ice skating rink will be
[43:13] moved to an alternative location for
[43:16] this winter. They won't be able to get
[43:18] it up,
[43:19] >> but we're working on it. So again, the
[43:23] storms this year, if they can because
[43:25] it's actually a pretty small project for
[43:27] them. So if this if they can find a
[43:29] pocket to put it in, I'm having those
[43:32] conversations three times a week trying
[43:34] to move that along. Just letting you
[43:36] know.
[43:38] Um, we also got a couple of fairly
[43:42] extensive foyer requests and this is not
[43:44] to really talk about the requests
[43:46] themselves, but something that we
[43:47] uncovered and that is Microsoft in their
[43:50] last um in their last version that they
[43:53] gave us. G3 is what we use. They no
[43:56] longer allow you to to dduplicate
[44:01] um when you search for a an email. So
[44:05] when we have to do a foyer search it
[44:07] goes and the foyer search goes across
[44:09] the entire organization to everybody's
[44:12] email and then it returns results and
[44:15] those results in previous version of
[44:17] Microsoft we were able to dduplicate
[44:20] them automatically. So if the same email
[44:23] was sent to me, Mike, Jennifer and Bob,
[44:26] they would only get it once for our FOYA
[44:29] officer to have to review.
[44:32] Microsoft has since eliminated that. And
[44:36] so we had our first large FOYA that that
[44:40] ended up being an issue in um because we
[44:43] can get really it it you know thousands
[44:46] of email results back um and it took
[44:50] about four full staff days to go through
[44:54] and dduplicate it. So, we are now
[44:57] looking at what it's going to take to
[45:00] add that because this is going to shock.
[45:02] I know it's going to be shock and awe
[45:04] right now, but Microsoft has that as an
[45:07] add-on that you can pay extra for
[45:09] >> and you have to pay for that extra per
[45:13] user. So, everybody who has a box that
[45:17] you'd be searching you have to pay for.
[45:19] So we are looking at what the cost is
[45:21] going to be to add that functionality
[45:25] which we previously had
[45:27] that has been dropped from our current
[45:29] package back onto the current package.
[45:32] Um or if there's an alternative way an
[45:35] alternative software that we might be
[45:36] able to use to do something similar. So
[45:40] um I just thought you all might find
[45:42] that a little bit interesting. Um,
[45:44] >> Kianne, I I volunteer to save the
[45:46] village money and surrender my email
[45:49] account. [laughter]
[45:52] » Anybody else with me on that one?
[45:53] >> Yeah, you're just you're done. No more
[45:55] email for you.
[45:57] >> Um,
[45:59] I want to give a shout out to um Mike
[46:03] Lator, uh, our building supervisor. So,
[46:07] we had a person who was tagged o over a
[46:09] years a over a year ago for um we were
[46:14] unable to upgrade their meter when
[46:18] meters were upgraded. That was a couple
[46:19] years ago. And then, you know, we said
[46:22] we have to upgrade your meter. We have
[46:23] to get in the place. And then they just
[46:24] stopped receiving water and we had to
[46:26] tag it. The person was still living in
[46:29] there. They they have a job where they
[46:32] travel often. So sometimes they were
[46:34] there, sometimes they were not. Um,
[46:36] without going a lot into the personal situation here, it it
[46:41] was a a situation where that person
[46:44] needed some help in order to make good
[46:48] decisions to be able to get their home
[46:52] functioning again. and Mike went above
[46:56] and beyond as well as Subers and their
[46:58] group went above and beyond um because
[47:01] when they finally got in and were able
[47:03] to replace the meter, they were able to
[47:05] determine that the pipes themselves had
[47:08] burst at some point, so they couldn't
[47:10] turn on the water. And so there were
[47:12] additional services that needed to be
[47:14] wrapped around for that person to be
[47:16] able to have their house be habitable
[47:18] again. And the team went above and
[47:21] beyond to do that. And it's one of the
[47:23] times that I am exceptionally proud to
[47:26] be the leader, a leader here with this
[47:30] group of people because it's it's the
[47:32] kind of service you don't see every day.
[47:34] So to Mike and his team, to Curtis and his and his team, um, and Mike
[47:40] Latoya, if you see him, please let him
[47:43] know. [clears throat]
[47:44] Um, OSHA did come and did an inspection
[47:47] of the village on 7:15. They did a heat
[47:49] inspection. We got no comments from that
[47:51] heat inspection, which is great. So, you
[47:54] know, OSHA doesn't tell us like, hey, so
[47:56] they they visited public works out in
[47:58] the field. It was an exceptionally um
[48:01] hot day. There are some new kind of
[48:02] regulations regarding heat in the field
[48:05] and um interviewed some of our
[48:07] employees. And normally what you get
[48:09] back from that is you have to do X, Y,
[48:10] and Z, and you have this many days. And
[48:12] this time they of course they don't say
[48:14] you did a great job. They just say we
[48:16] came out, we did it,
[48:18] didn't find anything. So reminder, here
[48:20] are the rules. So that is the best
[48:22] possible um result of something like
[48:25] that. So to Mike and his folks, uh they
[48:27] did a good job. And also just want to
[48:29] report that we got the task P&L in.
[48:33] Unfortunately, with some other things
[48:34] that I had going on, I didn't have time
[48:35] to look at it and really dig in. I
[48:38] expected to be on the next agenda,
[48:39] however.
[48:41] >> Right. Thank you.
[48:42] >> I know I saved
[48:46] >> Jody. Anything to report?
[48:47] >> Report. No report. Okay, we'll take a
[48:51] few minute recess and then we will
[48:53] reconvene in the back room for executive
[48:55] session. We will only um Frank, don't go
[48:59] anywhere. We will only reconvene Oh,
[49:02] Kianne, you had something before we
[49:04] adjourn.
[49:04] >> Finish that and then I will
[49:06] >> We will only reconvene to adjourn. So,
[49:09] this will end the telecast after
[49:11] Kerianne makes
[49:13] >> her comment. I just want to say happy
[49:16] anniversary
[49:17] to our audience members. If you
[49:19] remember, they said they were going to
[49:20] be here on their anniversary. Happy 36
[49:23] years.
[49:24] >> There you go. Wow. [applause]
[49:26] >> And thank you for always coming to see
[49:28] us here. So,
[49:30] >> and she actually brought treats to
[49:32] celebrate their anniversary. So, see it.
[49:34] Well,
[49:34] >> thank you for the treats.
[49:35] >> Thank you.
