I'll call you up and if you can state your name and 12 00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:43,120 address and then make your comments. So our first comment is Jason Lewellen. 13 00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:46,480 Jason, if you can come up. I know I just said your name, but can you state your 14 00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:54,000 name and address for us again? >> You guys want to grab a pen? Jason 15 00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:54,000 Lewellen, 1400 Crest Drive. 224-558-7662 16 00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:59,239 We talked about doing something for these e-bike kids. I think I read 17 00:02:57,959 --> 00:03:01,880 something about that park you guys are doing over here. 18 00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:05,920 These e-bike kids will have nothing to do with that. I have more experience in 19 00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:08,800 biking than everybody put together in this room. 20 00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:11,920 That park has nothing to do with e-bike kids. 21 00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:14,160 It will take $100,000 to build this park. 22 00:03:12,920 --> 00:03:17,840 And like I said, I'll help raise this money, all of it. 23 00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:20,800 But it takes time. And the more we wait, the longer it 24 00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:23,920 takes. Now, I'll start with these kids have 25 00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:26,920 their own community. They have their own chat line. 26 00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:31,080 They've tried to get me to go on it with them. These kids now stop at my house. 27 00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:33,959 We have talks about safety on the bikes, not doing wheelies in front of people's 28 00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:37,120 houses, down the main streets, riding through people's lawns. 29 00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:40,880 I've had these kids at my house, my wife come home from work. As we're sitting 30 00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:44,640 out on the front lawn, I bring bikes out of my house from BMX bikes to dirt bikes 31 00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:49,000 to my motorcycles. These kids have interest. 32 00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:51,239 These kids deserve to have fun. We all wanted to have fun when growing 33 00:03:49,959 --> 00:03:54,320 up as kids. But we're waiting too long. Summer's 34 00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:58,600 almost over. Sooner or later there'll be no time to 35 00:03:55,560 --> 00:04:01,600 get it. And then these kids will go find some kind of crime cuz we have quite a 36 00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:06,600 bit going on in here between people shooting BB guns through windows, 37 00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:09,880 breaking in cars. I mean last year I was watching TV in my bedroom and someone 38 00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:13,560 was trying to open up my garage door. I had it on camera. 39 00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:16,200 And my lights were on. Kids will become criminals if we don't 40 00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:18,600 do something. I've watched these kids tone it down 41 00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:22,280 especially around my part of the neighborhood with their bikes. 42 00:04:20,359 --> 00:04:25,120 I think we need to do something. Keep that tone down and do something for 43 00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:27,919 them. I'm going to go do exactly what these 44 00:04:26,280 --> 00:04:31,360 kids are doing. Get on my bike. Have a good day. 45 00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:35,600 » Thank you. All right. Next up we have Kate Montleone. Kate, if you could come 46 00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:39,600 up and state your name and your address. >> Sure. Sure. 47 00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:45,680 Good evening. I'm Kate Montleone. Um my address is 4N385 Samuel Clemens 48 00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:50,880 and that is in St. Charles. I'm here tonight to introduce myself as a 49 00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:58,000 candidate for the Kane County board representing parts of this community, 50 00:04:54,919 --> 00:05:01,600 precinct seven and 10 specifically. Um 51 00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:08,120 and as a as a prospective member of the county board, I believe it is imperative 52 00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:14,000 to have a dialogue with the villages, the townships, and and the cities that 53 00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:22,880 comprise the county. So, I think that starting now, I want to 54 00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:29,960 be visible and accessible to yourselves as well as members of the community um 55 00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:36,360 to to address and hear their concerns. I've been a little bit surprised as I've 56 00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:40,480 canvassed around the area how little people know about the work of 57 00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:45,240 the county and the fact that they virtually no one 58 00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:49,440 knows who their elected representative is. 59 00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:53,400 So, my goal is to change that starting now. Thank you very much. 60 00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:57,160 Don't forget to vote. >> Thank you. 61 00:05:56,000 --> 00:06:01,680 » Yeah. Okay.

If not, can I get a motion? 73 00:06:55,960 --> 00:07:00,600 » I move to approve the consent agenda. >> I'll second. 74 00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:04,840 » Call the roll. >> Trustee Hall. 75 00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:06,440 » Yes. >> Trustee Weingolds. 76 00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:08,480 » Yes. >> Trustee McCurdy. 77 00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:09,840 » Yes. >> Trustee Pini. 78 00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:11,400 » Yes. >> Trustee Cerno. 79 00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:12,840 » Yes. >> Trustee Hay. 80 00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:15,840 » Yes. >> Thank you. Motion carries. 81 00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:25,720 Okay. Moving on. Under items for separate action, we have item A, the 82 00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:31,760 consideration and approval of an authorization of a purchase of a stop 83 00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:36,240 stick tire deflation device in the amount of $5,789. 84 00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:39,080 Chris? >> Good evening, everyone. 85 00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:47,240 Budgeted this year was a uh project that I started investigating last year, 86 00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:52,080 last fall. Multiple agencies have gone to these in 87 00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:56,960 the last two to three years. They're called stop sticks. 88 00:07:54,560 --> 00:08:01,040 We have a high rate of vehicles that actually travel through Pingree Grove. 89 00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:07,080 Some of them are pursued by other agencies where we don't really 90 00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:11,000 push to pursue in our town. Our officers still do feel that it is 91 00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:16,400 necessary for us to try to help stop crime and try to help neighboring 92 00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:20,400 agencies and us as well. A stop stick device, what it is is 93 00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:24,440 exactly what you think. It's these strips that go out in the road and it 94 00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:29,320 will deflate your tires. These are controlled. These are not going to blow 95 00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:33,599 out and spin out. Multiple agencies around us have been using these to 96 00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:38,960 positive satisfaction. They are very lightweight. They're 97 00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:42,360 easily to be deployed. There is training that comes along with 98 00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:47,520 this as well, which is going to be annual. And it is also recommended not 99 00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:52,360 only by the Illinois Risk Management Association, 100 00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:56,800 but also the Illinois Chiefs of Police. Um 101 00:08:53,960 --> 00:09:01,280 I reached out to uh RMA and asked about this and they said 102 00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:06,920 that it was a very good idea to start pushing this right now. 103 00:09:03,560 --> 00:09:11,680 They actually kind of want more agencies to have these first us actually pursuing 104 00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:17,200 in a vehicle as we cause a crash. The vehicles do slow down 105 00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:23,000 and they are easily able to get in the person that's involved. 106 00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:27,720 The price that I have on here for $5,798 includes nine stop sticks, which would 107 00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:33,000 outfit the patrol vehicles that we have and two training devices. They recommend 108 00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:36,480 two so we can actually do training on those. 109 00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:39,960 The life expectancy, which I just looked up a few minutes ago, is about 5 years 110 00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:43,520 if they're not used and then they would have to be probably replaced. 111 00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:49,360 Or when they are used, all you have to do is replace the little uh spikes that 112 00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:52,760 are in there at a very low cost. I bring this to you 113 00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:56,520 uh because of the fact that it is 114 00:09:54,000 --> 00:10:00,280 considered a use of force by the state of Illinois because we're actually 115 00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:03,880 stopping a vehicle. Um 116 00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:08,520 just to get consideration and see if you had any questions before I go ahead and 117 00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:08,520 do this. 118 00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:15,440 » Chief, um just a couple questions. Um one, why would you have to replace them 119 00:10:13,560 --> 00:10:19,200 after 5 years if there's no use? >> Um it was a question that was brought to 120 00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:22,040 me about 10 minutes ago and I didn't have the answer. I just looked it up 121 00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:26,200 real quick because of uh the great internet. 122 00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:30,720 They're going to be in a car. They don't get They don't get brought in like our 123 00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:34,280 AEDs and stuff like that. So, it gets actually mounted inside the trunk area 124 00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:38,160 of the car. So, you're going to have extreme heat and extreme cold and things 125 00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:42,200 like that. They get inspected with the car inspections every month, but 126 00:10:40,839 --> 00:10:47,040 I think it's no different than my bulletproof vest. Even though I don't 127 00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:50,920 use it and I know deep down inside that it will stop after 5 years, 128 00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:56,960 manufacturer recommendation is to replace after so long just to make sure 129 00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:56,960 that you have the utmost equipment. 130 00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:04,200 » Chris, we have nothing like this right now. Not on your cars. 131 00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:07,720 » No. Um the sheriff's office is they got this new thing where it's like a grapple 132 00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:13,000 that'll grab a car. Um we tried investing in something not 133 00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:16,040 that long ago uh where it was a net that would shoot out, but we couldn't get all 134 00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:20,480 the pieces for it. It was actually through uh 135 00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:24,440 uh the military, but that was something that never came to fruition. We've had a 136 00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:28,680 lot of high-speed vehicles flying down here because we have 27247. 137 00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:31,880 Um most of them are chased by other agencies. 138 00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:35,160 Our officers don't really get too involved, especially if they go outside 139 00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:39,040 of our jurisdiction, but if we can maybe slow the 140 00:11:36,560 --> 00:11:41,200 vehicle down so we can apprehend, that would be a 141 00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:44,480 a good note in our book. >> So, there have been opportunities that 142 00:11:42,680 --> 00:11:47,560 we could have used them that would have worked. 143 00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:52,000 » Yes. Um they're a small device. The brochures are on there. You throw them 144 00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:56,400 into the roadway and as the car comes by, goes over it, you yank them back out 145 00:11:54,600 --> 00:12:00,960 with a chain. That way it doesn't get the cars behind them that are coming. Um 146 00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:05,920 they've been There's videos online for this. Um I actually talked to the owner 147 00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:10,760 of the company last uh October and uh one of their neighboring 148 00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:13,600 agencies, the Village of Elburn, has them and they've used them two or three 149 00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:18,000 times since they've had them and they said it's really helped out quite a bit. 150 00:12:15,680 --> 00:12:21,720 So, I actually saw a demo of that and I thought it was pretty interesting. So, I 151 00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:24,320 wanted to try to bring that to our neighborhood. 152 00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:32,200 » Is there any other discussion? If not, can I get a motion? 153 00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:39,960 » I move to approve the purchase of nine Stop Stick tire deflation and pursuit 154 00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:44,240 prevention devices including related deployment and training accessories 155 00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:50,440 for use by the police department in the amount of $5,789. 156 00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:50,440 » I'll second. 157 00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:54,240 » Call the roll. >> Trustee Haake. 158 00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:55,680 » Yes. >> Trustee Hall. 159 00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:57,960 » Yes. >> Trustee McCurdy. 160 00:12:57,200 --> 00:12:59,839 » Yes. >> Trustee Pini. 161 00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:01,280 » Yes. >> Trustee Turnau. 162 00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:04,400 » Yes. >> Trustee Wingle. 163 00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:04,400 » Yes. 164 00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:11,080 » Trustee Turnau said yes, right? Okay, thank you. Motion carries. 165 00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:15,360 Okay, moving on. Item B is the consideration and approval of an 166 00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:20,640 authorization of a resolution accepting a special warranty deed conveying the 167 00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:24,560 fire station park in East Park from DR Horton. Andy? 168 00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:30,000 » Yes, thank you. All right, so the first amendment to the seal into annexation 169 00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:34,000 agreement uh requires that DR Horton convey to the village the fire station 170 00:13:32,680 --> 00:13:39,640 park with improvements which again include a 171 00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:45,560 pavilion band shell structure landscaping and a parking lot as well as 172 00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:50,920 bathroom facility. The amendment the first amendment to the 173 00:13:48,560 --> 00:13:55,800 annexation agreement also requires DR Horton to convey to the village the 174 00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:59,680 East Park property which is property that's located 175 00:13:57,560 --> 00:14:05,240 up north in the Sealing 2 development that it was determined at the time 176 00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:09,400 that achieving access from Big Timber Road would be very difficult from the 177 00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:13,680 county and so that's kind of what kicked off these negotiations to amend the 178 00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:18,760 agreement in the first place but that land will still be conveyed to 179 00:14:15,560 --> 00:14:25,280 the village it's about 27 acres for our future planning purposes and future use. 180 00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:30,080 As I think the board is aware the plan is to utilize the fire station park for 181 00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:35,080 a variety of community events the first one of which is this Saturday morning 182 00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:38,480 it's a farmers and makers market I'll let Laura talk a little bit about that 183 00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:42,760 in her updates but um but no this is the resolution to 184 00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:48,880 formally accept the deed for both of those properties from DR Horton. 185 00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:52,640 » Is there any discussion? >> Yeah is that park considered complete 186 00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:56,080 now? >> Yes from from DR Horton's perspective 187 00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:58,360 yes. >> The village is 188 00:14:57,280 --> 00:15:00,120 » washrooms >> What did you say? 189 00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:03,080 » You finished the washrooms? >> He did he did yep yep. 190 00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:07,160 » The lighting and the fencing is us? >> The lighting and the fencing is us yes. 191 00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:10,560 » Horton is paying for the fencing let us not forget that but yeah that'll be our 192 00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:15,760 project to do. >> We have a date or time yet? 193 00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:15,760 » August 31st. 194 00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:26,800 All right if there's no other questions, can I get a motion? 195 00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:31,520 » I move to authorize the resolution accepting a special warranty deed 196 00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:35,800 conveying the fire station park and East Park from D.R.

I'm not going to say a 206 00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:57,880 whole lot cuz I don't want to steal anyone else's thunder tonight. But, um 207 00:15:55,840 --> 00:16:01,080 good news, I did talk with Troutman and Adams, which I know we've been going 208 00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:04,800 back and forth on for what feels like my lifetime. But, um 209 00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:10,160 they have come to an agreement with Albertsons and all points are agreed 210 00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:13,640 upon. So, that being said, um Andy, Nick, and I will be meeting with 211 00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:18,920 Troutman and Adams to complete our development agreement this Wednesday. 212 00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:23,320 And I spoke with Senator Steverson this morning. We're hoping to have permits 213 00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:27,880 from IDOT this week. Keep your fingers crossed on that. I 214 00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:32,040 can't control that. Um but, all things being said, to uh Troutman and Adams 215 00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:35,960 will come before planning and zoning at our next meeting on August 17th, and 216 00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:39,560 hopefully we will see a ground break then this fall. 217 00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:42,360 All right, Andy, moving on to you. >> Yes, thank you. All right, I do actually 218 00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:46,440 do have a couple things. Uh just continuing from what President Kubiak 219 00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:51,160 stated about the uh uh Troutman and Adams process. Um there's a couple 220 00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:54,680 different pieces moving around at once. Uh the 221 00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:59,120 PUD development agreement, which is really what I would say is our contract 222 00:16:56,400 --> 00:17:03,640 with them. That is still up in the air as a we're still negotiating it. Um that 223 00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:07,920 is something that will ultimately go before the village board for final 224 00:17:05,360 --> 00:17:12,240 review and consideration. Uh at the same time, we're working through the various 225 00:17:10,120 --> 00:17:17,520 um zoning approvals that are separated from that. Uh this includes a final plat 226 00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:24,160 of subdivision, uh as well as a zoning ordinance authorizing the different uses 227 00:17:21,199 --> 00:17:29,000 and regulations as it pertains to the zoning code for the subject property. 228 00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:33,480 That is scheduled already. Public notices have been issued for August 17th 229 00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:39,080 before the Planning and Zoning Commission. Uh the Planning and Zoning 230 00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:42,880 Commission will perform its review and we anticipate they will recommend you 231 00:17:41,360 --> 00:17:47,920 know that they would recommend approval to the board uh if they are ready to do 232 00:17:45,360 --> 00:17:52,760 so at that meeting. Uh if they're not, it is in their prerogative to continue 233 00:17:50,120 --> 00:17:56,200 it, but um that is scheduled to occur August 17th and so on the staff level 234 00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:59,880 we're working with them on those matters. I'll let 235 00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:03,240 Nick talk about some of the other development 236 00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:09,120 that is ongoing. Uh we are also continuing to work with CPKC Railroad 237 00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:13,240 regarding our agreements for easements for the pathways 238 00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:17,360 or the pathway that's planned to go across the railroad. Um we have made 239 00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:20,600 some progress with them. They have been working with us, but there's also some 240 00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:25,200 very strict requirements from the federal government for the federal 241 00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:28,680 funding rules that will come into play and so 242 00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:32,360 there is a lot of back and forth between the railroad, the Illinois Commerce 243 00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:37,360 Commission, which is the entity at the state level that regulates railroads, 244 00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:41,720 as well as IDOT and our engineering team and so we continue to work on those 245 00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:46,800 efforts to try to keep moving that forward. Um I will defer to Brock to 246 00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:49,640 talk a little bit about land acquisition in 247 00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:54,480 regards to the roundabout project as well. The only other thing I have right 248 00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:59,560 now for the board is just a wanted to give you guys a heads up that tomorrow 249 00:18:57,320 --> 00:19:04,440 village will be issuing a press release. This is related to a business business 250 00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:09,040 view article. This is something that I'd shared with the board before in my 251 00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:15,280 weekly notes, but at the end of last week business view, which is a uh 252 00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:20,320 industry commercial business magazine that's really catered towards 253 00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:24,600 businesses and business development. They run a series about the best managed 254 00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:27,440 cities in different states and the Village of Pingree Grove was featured in 255 00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:32,560 one. President Kubeck and I participated in 256 00:19:30,360 --> 00:19:36,520 an interview with that that organization a couple months ago 257 00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:41,720 and so that's an exciting thing. We'll be sharing that on our social media 258 00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:45,640 platforms, but that is all I have right now. 259 00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:48,720 » Okay. Chief, do you have anything for us? 260 00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:51,240 » Just that tomorrow night will be hosting our 261 00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:54,760 National Night Out at the police department. 262 00:19:52,440 --> 00:20:00,160 It's going to be from 5:00 to 8:00. There will be some food. There is a dunk 263 00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:04,960 tank, which I will be going into as well as a bunch of our other officers. All 264 00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:08,760 proceeds will go to Special Olympics. We're going to have a good time. I hope 265 00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:13,040 to see everyone out there. And if you have any questions, just ask. 266 00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:21,760 » Thank you. All right, Pat, do you have anything for us tonight? 267 00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:21,760 » No, I'm just joking though. 268 00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:27,960 Um Crews this week are finishing up tree 269 00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:33,400 trimming in the fourth neighborhood. We're going to take a break for a while. 270 00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:36,440 They are just exhausted. Um maybe return and try and do some more in 271 00:20:35,360 --> 00:20:38,840 the fall. Um 272 00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:43,480 They should get through the neighborhood they're in, which is the Shell Tree 273 00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:48,200 Island neighborhood this week and also have time to get 274 00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:53,200 the 27 Parkway trees that are being replaced throughout the village cut down 275 00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:56,880 as well. So that we don't have to bring it back 276 00:20:54,760 --> 00:21:00,240 for one day to chip. Um 277 00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:02,960 mosquitoes. I met with Clark today. 278 00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:09,720 Um there are West Nile cases positive in 279 00:21:06,360 --> 00:21:14,520 traps all over Kane County so far to my knowledge not Pingree Grove. 280 00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:17,880 Uh we will spray if the county alerts us that they get a 281 00:21:16,120 --> 00:21:23,760 positive case. Um 282 00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:27,440 our trap that we are utilizing um last Wednesday we had uh 283 00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:31,440 a pretty good amount of mosquitoes in there. We sprayed on Thursday. 284 00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:35,640 Um Friday's count was one. 285 00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:38,760 Monday's count was one. Most likely Monday was the rain all weekend long. 286 00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:41,480 The mosquitoes weren't out. They were hiding. 287 00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:46,200 Uh but I asked him about these low counts like 288 00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:49,280 this and that's environmental. Uh and so it's hard to 289 00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:54,160 determine what's out there uh when we get a count like this um but 290 00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:56,440 um anyhow 291 00:21:55,280 --> 00:22:00,880 um we'll be watching for if we have a a 292 00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:04,760 West Nile hit and the county does report to us if they do find a West Nile 293 00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:08,640 positive mosquito in the other trap located 294 00:22:06,120 --> 00:22:13,520 somewhere [clears throat] in town. Um that they check twice a week and then 295 00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:17,560 analyze the mosquitoes but I know they're starting to pop up all over. 296 00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:22,640 Um Lastly, the waste plant at 11:30 today 297 00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:26,640 we actually had flow going through from the headworks out the headworks building 298 00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:29,720 uh and starting to make its way through the plant. 299 00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:35,280 Uh at 2:30 they were still making some adjustments to the filters 300 00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:39,080 um but flow is actually going through. Half the flow is going through the new 301 00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:43,200 portion of the plant. We're still use utilizing the old lift station for half 302 00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:46,880 the flow. Tomorrow we're going to reduce it a little further 303 00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:53,440 and uh Wednesday hopefully shut it off and start draining that side if we get 304 00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:59,080 a couple of days in a row of everything working as designed. 305 00:22:55,880 --> 00:23:03,400 The amount of alarms at the plant just so everybody knows is overwhelming. 306 00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:07,520 Um We didn't run the irrigation this this 307 00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:11,240 weekend, but we still had alarms for pumps faulting in the middle of night. 308 00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:15,840 We're trying to figure that out. Uh everybody's pointing fingers. The 309 00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:19,400 bottom line is that at about 11:00 every night we get a slew of alarms. I think 310 00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:22,400 it's a ComEd issue, but the voltage monitor isn't working yet at the plant 311 00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:27,160 to blame ComEd. 312 00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:30,680 Uh so we're working through that, um but there's been a lot of OT and call-outs 313 00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:36,040 because of this. Uh 314 00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:36,040 and guys really really tired. Um 315 00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:43,680 Tomorrow uh we get back teasers and we'll be setting up for the National 316 00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:50,160 Night Out. Um so the back teasers are the monthly IEPA required samples at 14 317 00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:55,960 locations throughout town to make sure our water is clean and and 318 00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:59,360 and again we pull the samples on a Tuesday so we can get the results by 319 00:23:57,800 --> 00:24:03,560 Thursday. We don't normally go any later than that 320 00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:06,760 because we don't want to have to issue a boil order if there was an issue on a 321 00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:12,240 weekend. That means everybody's coming in on OT, 322 00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:16,000 so normally you everybody does these on a Tuesday. 323 00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:19,520 Uh other than that, uh does anybody have any questions for me? 324 00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:23,440 » I have a question for you. When does the new wastewater treatment plant 325 00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:26,320 supervisor start? >> I don't have an answer yet. 326 00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:32,080 Um I need to check tomorrow. He took his uh 327 00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:36,000 drug test on Saturday. So tomorrow is the day that we should have the results 328 00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:40,520 for that and I have to talk to someone to access the portal to see what the 329 00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:44,520 results are. I don't have direct access to it, which is fine with me. I just 330 00:24:42,360 --> 00:24:47,280 need to get that done. Um 331 00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:50,880 Once he has that, I spoke with him and he will give me a 332 00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:54,960 date. He didn't want to accept a position and have something come back 333 00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:59,680 for some reason that we couldn't hire him. Background check already came back 334 00:24:57,240 --> 00:25:03,320 and it's clean, so uh I'm guessing about 2 weeks. 335 00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:05,040 » Okay. That'll give him how much time with Phil? 336 00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:08,520 » 2 weeks. >> Okay, that's good. All right. Thanks, 337 00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:11,760 Pat. Okay. Uh 338 00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:15,800 » The West Nile cases have have they been just been popping up recently or 339 00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:19,800 » They did They're not human cases. It's mosquitoes infected with West Nile. Yes, 340 00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:21,120 it's been popping up in the last couple of weeks 341 00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:23,240 » Okay. >> throughout the county and throughout 342 00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:26,880 Illinois. >> And without there really being a way to 343 00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:29,760 it being environmental and not being able to actually see what's out there. 344 00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:33,880 » So, we have two traps. The environmental trap, the one that we have problems with 345 00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:37,240 catching them, works differently than the West Nile. It's a different species 346 00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:40,840 of mosquito. The West Nile trap, they don't have a 347 00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:44,040 problem catching mosquitoes. They're not using light. Uh 348 00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:47,280 but uh they're 349 00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:51,640 the West Nile trap, the county picks the mosquitoes up and then checks them. They 350 00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:55,840 do something and then they can tell if it's carrying the West Nile virus. So, 351 00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:58,917 if they get a hit from that, they report to us. They just haven't got a hit in 352 00:25:57,440 --> 00:26:01,000 Pingree Grove yet. >> [clears throat] 353 00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:05,120 » I I guess what I'm getting at is this something that 354 00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:08,760 we should be proactive and not reactive? Like just put it on like a standard 355 00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:12,520 spray while this is spreading throughout the county 356 00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:16,120 and limit the mosquitoes or is this something we wait till the West Nile is 357 00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:17,640 there, we report a West Nile case in a mosquito? 358 00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:20,760 » Yeah. >> Everybody in the town freaks out and 359 00:26:19,120 --> 00:26:24,720 then or I guess I'm asking everybody. I I 360 00:26:23,120 --> 00:26:29,760 don't know. Like is this something that we should think about like every Friday 361 00:26:26,360 --> 00:26:34,680 night until it cools off, just spray or whatever day, you know, and weather 362 00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:34,680 permitting, obviously, but 363 00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:40,400 » What are What is everyone's thought on that? 364 00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:46,280 » I don't understand the question. >> The question is so it takes a West Nile 365 00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:50,360 case to generate an automatic spray. In one 366 00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:53,320 instance, mosquito, right? One instance of that. 367 00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:55,800 So, and with our trap, it's hard to say what we actually have out there. I guess 368 00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:59,640 what I'm asking >> say there's two different traps. One's 369 00:26:58,120 --> 00:27:03,240 maintained by the county. They don't have an issue collecting mosquitoes like 370 00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:05,680 the female biters that are the other trap. 371 00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:10,760 Um but yes, typically we wait till they 372 00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:13,320 find a positive case and then we spray. >> Right. 373 00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:16,360 » If there's a positive case reported. >> And I guess what I'm saying is with it 374 00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:20,680 being all around the area, it sounds like it might be a matter of when not 375 00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:24,640 if. Is it something to keep the stuff down while it's going around or do we 376 00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:28,200 just wait and see what happens? Is that what I'm getting at? 377 00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:31,320 Cuz you know it's going to pop and like you said, you go from a high number, we 378 00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:34,320 spray, it goes down to one. And then it could be rain, could be wind why we're 379 00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:37,760 not getting any in our trap. I get they don't have a Do they even give you a 380 00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:40,760 count in the county's trap or they just wait for positive case? 381 00:27:39,360 --> 00:27:43,840 » They don't give me a count of mosquitoes that they catch. They don't even report 382 00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:46,080 to me unless they have a positive case. >> Right. So, they might be getting a 383 00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:47,560 thousand mosquitoes where we're getting none. 384 00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:52,440 » Yeah. I think that there's a lot less It's a 385 00:27:49,360 --> 00:27:56,600 Culex pipiens that is the West Nile carrier if I'm not mistaken and there's 386 00:27:54,080 --> 00:28:00,920 a lot less of those in the area. Um and it's those usually pop up 387 00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:05,320 when everybody says, "Oh, the mosquitoes aren't bad." You know, it's not raining 388 00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:09,560 and that's when they get you. The the ones in the affected the female biters 389 00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:12,000 are the ones that you can't walk out your door without them carrying you to 390 00:28:11,120 --> 00:28:14,560 your car. >> Okay. 391 00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:17,200 » Um so but I can 392 00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:21,040 » Are you going to be doing any granular granular treatment before the movie? 393 00:28:21,360 --> 00:28:24,440 » Uh no. 394 00:28:25,120 --> 00:28:28,440 We're not doing a granular treatment. We don't treat 395 00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:32,920 » think the parks going to be to try and help 396 00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:38,680 prevent mosquitoes in the area since I think you can walk around and watch the 397 00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:38,680 » Um 398 00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:44,800 we don't even spray that area of the village because of the proximity to 399 00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:49,400 water typically. Uh Uh, I do have a product that we can 400 00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:54,160 spray the the turf. It's a plant-based product that supposedly repels them 401 00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:57,880 uh and and the trees. It just depends on the weather. 402 00:28:57,160 --> 00:29:01,440 Uh um and 403 00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:06,440 lately the grass in the morning is so full of dew it takes till about noon for 404 00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:10,760 everything to dry up. Uh it only takes about 15 minutes for it to dry, but 405 00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:14,760 it'll take us to apply in that little triangle probably a couple hours to 406 00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:19,160 spray the area down uh with a backpack sprayer. We could do 407 00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:20,640 that. We haven't contemplated that. Uh 408 00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:26,480 we did not >> done several movies over every year the 409 00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:29,400 last probably 10 years. I'd say that that's something that's worthwhile. I 410 00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:33,280 don't want to be spending money on a movie, people going for the first 20 411 00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:36,120 minutes, getting eaten, and then leaving. So I I think that's something 412 00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:40,200 that would be worthwhile to to try. 413 00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:58,360 » Yeah. Can we spray this Thursday evening, Pat? I don't think there's any 414 00:29:56,400 --> 00:30:01,360 weather this week, is there? >> I'd have to look. 415 00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:03,600 » Uh Wednesday it looks like there could be. 416 00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:06,920 » Yeah, so if we sprayed Thursday, that would cuz that's what we do for 4th of 417 00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:10,920 July, correct? You spray that. >> We sprayed Thursday. It it just That's 418 00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:15,480 the way it worked. I actually we sprayed Friday, too. We just did not spray 419 00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:20,120 around the event till 2:00 in the morning. We finished up. Normally the 420 00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:24,040 route's different, but we finished up after everybody is long gone. 421 00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:28,120 » This would just be for the movie. >> did not spray the event this year, the 422 00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:33,680 grounds, because again, by the time we got there at 5:00 a.m. Saturday morning, 423 00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:36,560 there was already tarps everywhere. There wasn't a bit of grass left. I 424 00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:40,600 can't spray. Cuz now this product is all over 425 00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:44,440 everybody's tarps and you know, the area's cordoned off, but the movies we 426 00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:48,080 could probably spray it this week as long as there's not rain and it would 427 00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:52,240 just have to be mid-morning after the dew is evaporated off the grass. 428 00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:55,640 » Okay. Why don't we plan for that then this week? 429 00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:59,000 All right. Moving on then, Andy's going to take 430 00:30:57,440 --> 00:31:02,800 Nick's report. >> Yeah, just really quickly for the 431 00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:05,760 development services report, other than the Jewel and Trammell Crow 432 00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:10,800 efforts, the developer for Route 72 and Ranking 433 00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:14,640 Road, they have submitted their application to the village as well as 434 00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:19,600 their engineering submittals. So, that is being that is in the hopper 435 00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:24,160 for review from our consultants for that as well. 436 00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:28,200 As we work through that review and discuss with them further, then we will 437 00:31:26,280 --> 00:31:33,320 be looking to do similar thing as we are doing with the uh uh Jewel Trammell Crow 438 00:31:31,760 --> 00:31:37,240 process of having a development agreement or contract with the village 439 00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:43,320 and then at the same time, we'll have the necessary zoning and final plat 440 00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:46,440 of subdivision review before the planning and zoning 441 00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:48,680 commission. So, that is in the works as well. 442 00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:57,240 » Hey Andy, the what is the typical turnaround with our consultants on that? 443 00:31:51,920 --> 00:32:01,520 » So, for a full engineering review, probably about a month, I would say. 444 00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:05,520 The The biggest thing is the back and forth 445 00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:09,360 and if there's agreement or disagreement over and I mean anything from easements 446 00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:14,400 or where is this going to be located or that. Um so, I I I expect that 447 00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:19,120 especially because they're looking to do this in phases, it doesn't all have to 448 00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:23,280 be approved all at once before the board or planning and zoning commission. So, 449 00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:27,960 I think that they could start going through the planning and zoning 450 00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:32,400 commission process and um maybe a month or two 451 00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:32,400 from now. 452 00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:38,560 » What When does the tax sharing part When does that get approved in this? for the 453 00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:40,920 for Jewel? >> Yeah. 454 00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:44,760 » That'll that's part of that contract that'll come before the board. 455 00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:44,760 » Okay. Yeah. 456 00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:47,680 » Andy, the 457 00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:54,720 railroad station there, the parking they put in, I know at the beginning you were 458 00:32:51,800 --> 00:33:00,680 talking about 20 spots. I was there the other day I counted 40. 459 00:32:57,080 --> 00:33:03,040 » Yeah, it's I think it's like 30 30 six. Well, 460 00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:07,880 I remember, yeah. Yeah, so it's a lot. Yeah, yeah. 461 00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:07,880 » Yeah, good. 462 00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:12,560 » Okay. All right, moving on. Engineering? 463 00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:18,440 » Um yeah, so we submitted for the ranking damage roundabout, we submitted final 464 00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:23,120 plans last Monday. So, those are into I-dot for review. Um we're still slated 465 00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:28,200 for a November letting pending uh obviously what Andy and Amber talked 466 00:33:24,560 --> 00:33:31,440 about for the CPKC and ICC agreement. Um and then we're in various stages of land 467 00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:34,720 acquisition. So, we have um three of them secured and we're so 468 00:33:33,320 --> 00:33:38,880 we're in various stages with the other five. So, 469 00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:43,440 um that's kind of it for the roundabout. Um other than that, 72 path is still in 470 00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:45,800 it I-dot for the PDR. Um 471 00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:47,920 and then the streets project we're working through the punch list with 472 00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:52,320 Schroeder. Um as we get worked through that and 473 00:33:49,560 --> 00:33:57,320 then the skate park um we'll probably have an extension coming for uh next 474 00:33:55,000 --> 00:34:00,920 meeting. Uh they obviously with some of the weather they had earlier this year 475 00:33:58,760 --> 00:34:04,720 when they got started and some delays of equipment being shipped, um they're 476 00:34:03,320 --> 00:34:07,760 they're probably extension of time coming for the next meeting. 477 00:34:09,560 --> 00:34:14,760 » Thank you, Brock. All right, legal, do you have anything for us tonight? 478 00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:18,159 » just wanted to say thanks to Fair Graham including Brock, Andy, and Nick in 479 00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:22,159 connection with that special warranty deed from D.R. Horton from looking over 480 00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:26,760 the easements, making sure they're restricted to the perimeter of the 481 00:34:23,399 --> 00:34:29,919 property, to coaxing the special warranty deed from the sixth floor of 482 00:34:28,600 --> 00:34:34,639 the D.R. Horton headquarters in Schaumburg. It was a team effort and uh 483 00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:39,040 I thought it was well done. And then two, if there's any questions for me on 484 00:34:36,399 --> 00:34:39,040 anything else. 485 00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:45,240 » Okay. Laura. >> Oh, well, I'd just like to again 486 00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:50,080 reiterate that we have our uh first movie in the park and of course 487 00:34:47,639 --> 00:34:53,440 the location has changed from our fire station park cuz the grass is not quite 488 00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:56,679 ready. So, it's going to take place in the same 489 00:34:54,600 --> 00:35:00,600 um space as our stage was for the Independence Day celebration. So, 490 00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:05,320 that'll be right next to the Cambridge Lakes Community Center. It starts at 491 00:35:02,840 --> 00:35:08,360 8:00 and the movie starts at dusk or it's from 8:00 to 10:00 and the movie 492 00:35:06,640 --> 00:35:12,040 starts at dusk. And then the following day, Saturday, we have our farmers 493 00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:16,320 market which will take place in the parking lot of the fire station park. 494 00:35:14,520 --> 00:35:20,120 And we have 14 vendors signed up, so we're really looking forward to that. 495 00:35:18,520 --> 00:35:23,760 And also, I'd like to let everyone know that we're rolling out the introduction 496 00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:28,560 of the business registration program to our business community with a request to 497 00:35:26,920 --> 00:35:32,560 have them register for the existing businesses register by September 18th. 498 00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:36,440 So, that'll be done by the end of this week on the first roll out. Thank you. 499 00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:43,280 » Thanks, Laura. All right. Um now we have a discussion 500 00:35:39,720 --> 00:35:46,600 on recommendation to remove flock camera identification signs. Chris, I'm going 501 00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:52,920 to let you take this one. >> All right. In the packet, I drafted a 502 00:35:49,520 --> 00:35:57,600 memo to you guys explaining the new development throughout the state 503 00:35:55,840 --> 00:36:03,200 of Illinois, especially in Chicagoland area, regarding the destruction of 504 00:36:00,440 --> 00:36:07,880 neighborhood flock cameras. Our cameras are fine at this time. 505 00:36:05,720 --> 00:36:11,720 Uh we haven't had anything, but it has been known that the signs are drawing 506 00:36:10,080 --> 00:36:15,840 attention to these and people are damaging them. 507 00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:19,400 These cameras have shown that they, especially here, that they are very 508 00:36:17,680 --> 00:36:24,640 powerful tools, especially when used the correct way, to solve crimes and be able 509 00:36:21,920 --> 00:36:29,440 to help law enforcement uh in plenty of investigations. 510 00:36:27,600 --> 00:36:36,320 Uh the Illinois Association of Chiefs of Police also reaffirmed that these ALPR 511 00:36:34,280 --> 00:36:42,360 technology is also an investigative tool. 512 00:36:39,720 --> 00:36:45,960 Problem is now there are problems where people are noticing these cameras and 513 00:36:44,360 --> 00:36:49,520 they're destroying them on site. They're cutting cameras down. They're spray 514 00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:52,840 painting them. They're damaging the solar panels, disconnecting wiring. 515 00:36:52,080 --> 00:36:56,640 Uh they're striking them with other tools 516 00:36:54,880 --> 00:37:03,480 and they're dis- uh disabling the camera systems. 517 00:36:58,960 --> 00:37:08,840 These cameras are uh quite expensive and where if there's damage that's on the 518 00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:15,040 village in order to replace them. I'm trying to be proactive on this. 519 00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:17,080 Uh removal of the signs would not uh 520 00:37:15,640 --> 00:37:20,480 stop any of the functionality of the cameras. 521 00:37:18,200 --> 00:37:25,160 We're trying to make sure that we don't have any problems in the future with the 522 00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:28,240 ones that we have here. The uh 523 00:37:28,640 --> 00:37:34,120 » [sighs and gasps] >> All right, just to just so you know, 524 00:37:32,120 --> 00:37:38,080 I have attached all these other all points bulletins from these other 525 00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:42,120 agencies. We're not making this up. Flock came and said that they're aware 526 00:37:39,880 --> 00:37:46,320 of this and they will charge $500 a camera a year and then we wouldn't have 527 00:37:44,920 --> 00:37:53,240 to cover anything. I think that's ridiculous. So, I have asked in order to 528 00:37:50,840 --> 00:37:58,560 be proactive to remove the signs to avoid possible uh damage that's going to 529 00:37:56,080 --> 00:38:00,720 be coming in the near future. That's it. 530 00:37:59,480 --> 00:38:04,600 » Can you think of any other communities that have the I have not seen any other 531 00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:07,000 communities that have the 24-hour surveillance signs? Like I feel like 532 00:38:06,120 --> 00:38:09,800 we're the only ones that have >> There may be a community or two that 533 00:38:08,520 --> 00:38:12,560 have a sign at the beginning of the community saying that they're a Flock 534 00:38:11,080 --> 00:38:16,520 community, one sign. We have them in every single pole. And I know there's 535 00:38:14,080 --> 00:38:19,880 already at least one that's missing. So, um the cameras are all functional 536 00:38:18,840 --> 00:38:23,080 though. The The ones we had we had one taken 537 00:38:21,360 --> 00:38:28,600 down for the roundabout project at 20th and Ranking. We had it moved uh about 538 00:38:25,280 --> 00:38:31,560 five about 50 or 100 ft or so. Uh they did not charge us for that, but 539 00:38:30,240 --> 00:38:34,600 they will charge us if we have to remove anything else. 540 00:38:33,120 --> 00:38:39,760 I just don't think that that price that they quoted me was fair because it's not 541 00:38:38,160 --> 00:38:42,240 up it's not on us. But 542 00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:44,760 it's not that way. I don't want people to understand that we have law cameras. 543 00:38:44,040 --> 00:38:48,760 I It's not what it is. 544 00:38:46,240 --> 00:38:50,720 I drive I was just in Schaumburg yesterday. 545 00:38:50,120 --> 00:38:55,600 Uh I'm sorry, Saturday and they're 546 00:38:53,080 --> 00:38:58,840 everywhere and there's no I mean I'm I'm looking for them, 547 00:38:56,880 --> 00:39:03,080 but they're there. So and there's no signs showing that 548 00:39:01,080 --> 00:39:05,960 they have to be there. So I know it was a stipulation when we actually installed 549 00:39:04,920 --> 00:39:09,160 these. Um we put them up. 550 00:39:07,920 --> 00:39:15,160 And like I said, we haven't had a problem, but I don't want to see us 551 00:39:11,920 --> 00:39:19,120 having to be charged to replace cameras or have them damaged and brought on us 552 00:39:17,680 --> 00:39:22,480 just because uh we've been adding more success 553 00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:25,400 stories so you're aware on the village website. 554 00:39:23,680 --> 00:39:30,760 Uh now that we kind of got a grasp of how the transparency portal works and uh 555 00:39:28,320 --> 00:39:35,760 we've had plenty of opportunity to say that these are phenomenal cameras that 556 00:39:32,920 --> 00:39:39,000 are we're being are used the correct way and for the good reasons. 557 00:39:39,960 --> 00:39:46,560 » I take it we have no legal obligation to tell people about it. 558 00:39:43,760 --> 00:39:46,560 » No, we do not. 559 00:39:49,120 --> 00:39:53,720 » So these cameras, they had signs >> or no? No. 560 00:39:52,760 --> 00:39:58,040 » No. So it's 561 00:39:56,000 --> 00:40:01,000 is it safe fair to say that the signs aren't the reason they're doing it? It's 562 00:39:59,560 --> 00:40:04,000 probably they know where they're at because isn't it like public knowledge 563 00:40:02,640 --> 00:40:06,000 where these things are? There's I've seen them like it says they're here, 564 00:40:05,240 --> 00:40:07,560 here, and here. >> Mhm. 565 00:40:06,520 --> 00:40:10,320 » And then you just go around. >> There's actually a map on our village 566 00:40:09,080 --> 00:40:12,360 website that shows where they all are, too. 567 00:40:10,800 --> 00:40:15,240 » Right. That's what I'm saying. So like I don't really know that the camera is 568 00:40:13,840 --> 00:40:18,080 going to draw in if somebody's going to cut it down, it sounds like they're just 569 00:40:16,400 --> 00:40:20,680 going to cut it down. >> I'm trying not to draw attention to it 570 00:40:19,480 --> 00:40:24,640 is what I'm trying to do because these bright red signs they're saying 24-hour 571 00:40:22,520 --> 00:40:28,120 surveillance is showing where they are. >> I thought the whole point when we first 572 00:40:26,280 --> 00:40:32,000 put them up was that was supposed to be help be a deterrent. 573 00:40:31,080 --> 00:40:35,320 » Yes. That could have been uh but we're 574 00:40:33,880 --> 00:40:39,200 drawing attention to these and at that time there was no destruction of these 575 00:40:36,680 --> 00:40:42,160 cameras out there. Now that there are I'm trying to be proactive on this. 576 00:40:40,840 --> 00:40:44,520 Again, this is this is up for discussion. 577 00:40:43,560 --> 00:40:48,040 Uh if you guys want to leave them up, that's fine but if they do get damaged 578 00:40:46,920 --> 00:40:52,880 just know that the village is on the hook for any repairs. And we'll do what 579 00:40:51,160 --> 00:40:59,440 we can but as you can see these uh 580 00:40:56,760 --> 00:41:01,800 pictures what they're doing I'm just trying to make sure we don't 581 00:41:00,560 --> 00:41:04,520 have damaged equipment. These things are pretty expensive. 582 00:41:05,680 --> 00:41:13,320 » Can we discuss them? For me personally I kind of liked the attention to them 583 00:41:11,680 --> 00:41:15,920 not the damaging part but it sounds like these people are out looking to damage 584 00:41:14,560 --> 00:41:20,000 them regardless and they know where they are. 585 00:41:17,960 --> 00:41:26,640 I kind of want the criminal to see the sign. For me that means maybe they go to 586 00:41:23,320 --> 00:41:30,240 the next town or the town after. That was the reason that I asked to have 587 00:41:28,560 --> 00:41:32,520 them up to begin with. So my opinion really hasn't changed on that even 588 00:41:31,400 --> 00:41:37,160 though I appreciate where Chris is coming from. He's looking out for the 589 00:41:34,840 --> 00:41:40,640 well-being of the cameras themselves. Now if they said that they were going 590 00:41:38,280 --> 00:41:43,760 after one specifically with signs, I'd be more apt to say, "Okay, let's take 591 00:41:41,960 --> 00:41:47,040 the signs down." Now I know there's no way to really tell like is it really 592 00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:52,560 deterring criminals? Who knows? You don't know unless they commit the crime. 593 00:41:49,480 --> 00:41:55,760 So if it's deterred three or four, I for me it's leave them up. 594 00:41:54,680 --> 00:41:58,760 You know, see what happens. If you guys want to 595 00:41:57,160 --> 00:42:02,800 take them down, that's fine. It's not a big deal to me either way but that was 596 00:42:01,200 --> 00:42:06,080 the reason I wanted them up and I don't really know that that's changed for me 597 00:42:04,200 --> 00:42:09,800 personally. >> The current investigations the police 598 00:42:07,400 --> 00:42:14,640 department has had that says success stories for their use. 599 00:42:11,720 --> 00:42:17,720 Um these people are out there anyway. So, 600 00:42:16,120 --> 00:42:22,600 we're we're catching them. They're there. I don't think a sign is going to 601 00:42:20,480 --> 00:42:27,200 deter anyone or not. The car burglars that came in last week, they drove right 602 00:42:24,480 --> 00:42:30,760 past two of them. And I mean, it was a stolen motor vehicle out of Chicago, but 603 00:42:29,120 --> 00:42:36,240 that signs aren't going to deter them. What deters them is 604 00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:39,560 us being out there. And we were as soon as the cameras activated, we were out 605 00:42:38,120 --> 00:42:42,480 there and they were in and out of here within 7 minutes. We had to get to the 606 00:42:40,840 --> 00:42:46,320 other side of town, though. So, that's the reason we didn't get there in time. 607 00:42:44,080 --> 00:42:49,720 But, we already have leads on those. The signs aren't going to deter anybody. 608 00:42:48,480 --> 00:42:52,640 All they're going to do is draw attention. 609 00:42:51,040 --> 00:42:57,160 And I'm just trying to make sure that if someone does take a baseball bat to them 610 00:42:54,840 --> 00:43:01,680 or cut them down or spray paint them or anything, 611 00:42:58,320 --> 00:43:04,600 they're they're $3,000 cameras and we're on the hook for them. And that was part 612 00:43:03,200 --> 00:43:07,960 of the agreement. Now, they weren't getting damaged 613 00:43:05,560 --> 00:43:11,280 before, but now they're all over the place. Like I said, that's why I 614 00:43:09,200 --> 00:43:15,600 provided you guys the all-points from surrounding agencies. 615 00:43:12,640 --> 00:43:19,760 » Has RMA provided any guidance on what they would suggest? 616 00:43:16,520 --> 00:43:19,760 » No, they say it's up to us. 617 00:43:22,200 --> 00:43:30,160 And Flock has given a alternative. They will cover the damage for $500 a camera 618 00:43:27,520 --> 00:43:30,160 per year. 619 00:43:34,440 --> 00:43:39,240 » All right, what does everybody want to do? You want to roll the dice or you 620 00:43:37,440 --> 00:43:46,760 want to take down the signs? Let's go down the list. Drew, what do you think? 621 00:43:43,200 --> 00:43:50,120 » I'm with Luke. I think sign or not, the press on Flock is so bad right now 622 00:43:49,760 --> 00:43:53,240 » Yeah. >> that 623 00:43:51,840 --> 00:43:55,750 you could probably hide them in the ground and people will dig them up and 624 00:43:54,960 --> 00:43:57,080 break them >> [snorts] 625 00:43:55,760 --> 00:44:00,000 » at this point. >> Okay. 626 00:43:57,440 --> 00:44:06,960 » Um my only thing about it is if we're going to get charged for removing a sign 627 00:44:03,800 --> 00:44:10,800 and still have it damaged potentially and then pay? 628 00:44:08,800 --> 00:44:13,480 That I don't understand. [clears throat] Um 629 00:44:12,400 --> 00:44:17,080 I can understand where Chris is coming from with trying to not 630 00:44:15,480 --> 00:44:21,880 put a a bigger spotlight on it where it's at, but I don't know at this point 631 00:44:20,160 --> 00:44:26,040 with the record that Flock is is going with 632 00:44:24,160 --> 00:44:31,120 across the country, I don't think having a sign up or not is 633 00:44:29,040 --> 00:44:34,160 going to change if somebody wants to do it. 634 00:44:32,560 --> 00:44:37,960 » Okay. Adam, what do you think? >> Uh I think take them down because I 635 00:44:35,960 --> 00:44:41,560 believe I mean all these bulletins from all these agencies they they can't just 636 00:44:40,120 --> 00:44:46,320 be making that up. I mean they are the experts. They're the ones that are on 637 00:44:43,800 --> 00:44:50,000 this and that's their recommendation. I would tend to agree. And I like I 638 00:44:48,760 --> 00:44:53,680 said, I don't I don't see any other communities with those signs up. I just 639 00:44:51,560 --> 00:44:56,320 see all the ones in ours that are a little 640 00:44:54,640 --> 00:45:00,120 but I see both sides, you know, I understand it's could be a deterrent, 641 00:44:57,840 --> 00:45:04,120 but it really also is a you know, some guy's pissed off driving home and sees 642 00:45:02,520 --> 00:45:08,680 that and thinks, you know what? This is my time. Cuz he sees the sign. 643 00:45:06,520 --> 00:45:12,760 Um so, I'd say take them down. >> Okay. Luke, you want to keep them up? 644 00:45:10,720 --> 00:45:14,960 » Uh yeah. Um it 645 00:45:15,160 --> 00:45:21,000 So, I look at it like the red light cameras, right? 646 00:45:19,480 --> 00:45:23,840 I see the sign, I actually stop at the sign. I know they stop. Some people 647 00:45:22,520 --> 00:45:27,400 still blow through them, you know, and they're still going to commit the 648 00:45:24,680 --> 00:45:30,880 crimes. And actually to Adam's point for what he just said, actually if we're the 649 00:45:29,040 --> 00:45:34,840 only town with the signs and we're the only ones that haven't been getting 650 00:45:31,880 --> 00:45:36,920 damaged or haven't been damaged yet. If it ain't broke, don't fix it, you 651 00:45:36,240 --> 00:45:40,160 know. >> Okay. All right. Ed, where do you stand 652 00:45:38,640 --> 00:45:44,680 on this? >> I would take them down. Um I wasn't a 653 00:45:42,480 --> 00:45:46,960 fan for the sign at the beginning, so. >> Okay. 654 00:45:45,680 --> 00:45:51,560 All right. Kevin? >> Again, I see both sides. Uh 655 00:45:49,400 --> 00:45:54,960 I like our transparency portal. Uh people want to see we're not trying to 656 00:45:53,080 --> 00:45:58,160 hide every anything. Um 657 00:45:56,200 --> 00:46:02,240 I would be in favor of taking them down. >> Taking them down? Okay. Robert? 658 00:46:02,280 --> 00:46:12,000 » I'm with everybody else. I see both sides of this. I I tend to lean on the 659 00:46:08,640 --> 00:46:15,680 they're up, we're not having issues. Um I I don't think this sign being there is 660 00:46:14,600 --> 00:46:19,160 going changes anybody's mind if they're going 661 00:46:17,240 --> 00:46:22,560 to do something bad. For me, I'd say we leave them up. 662 00:46:20,880 --> 00:46:25,800 » Leave them up. Okay. All right. And I guess we leave them up. 663 00:46:24,800 --> 00:46:29,960 » Sounds good. Thank you. >> Okay. All right, thank you. All right, 664 00:46:28,400 --> 00:46:32,560 does anyone have any old or new business? 665 00:46:32,640 --> 00:46:39,200 Okay. If not, can I get a motion to move into executive session? Michael, I'm 666 00:46:37,360 --> 00:46:41,600 going to have you read it. >> Sure. 667 00:46:40,040 --> 00:46:46,280 Is there a motion to go into closed session 668 00:46:42,760 --> 00:46:49,920 pursuant to 5 ILCS 120/2C1 regarding the appointment, employment, compensation, 669 00:46:47,840 --> 00:46:54,400 discipline, performance, or dismissal of specific employees of the village? 670 00:46:52,040 --> 00:46:56,720 » So moved. Okay. 671 00:46:57,520 --> 00:47:00,480 » Call the roll. >> Trustee Hall. 672 00:47:00,000 --> 00:47:01,880 » Yes. >> Trustee Peters. 673 00:47:01,200 --> 00:47:03,960 » Yes. >> Yes. 674 00:47:03,120 --> 00:47:05,600 » Trustee Turner. >> Yes. 675 00:47:04,600 --> 00:47:08,000 » Trustee Haig. >> Yes. 676 00:47:06,040 --> 00:47:09,720 » Trustee McCartney, I'm sorry, McCreary, and Trustee Weingolds. 677 00:47:08,920 --> 00:47:14,560 » Yes. >> Thank you. Motion carried. 678 00:47:11,160 --> 00:47:14,560 Okay, we're going to be moving into
