12
00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:38,960
» Good evening.
Um

13
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:42,520
Let's see. We have a public comment for
agenda items. Anybody wishing to speak?

14
00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:49,160
» Yes.
>> Step on up to the mic. Name and address

15
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:49,160
for the record, and speak away.

16
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:54,880
» I haven't had practice.
>> All right.

17
00:00:52,120 --> 00:01:00,800
» Kim Lantee, uh 11204
Putnam Drive.

18
00:00:57,120 --> 00:01:03,360
Wednesday, June 24th, in the evening, we
had a major

19
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:07,880
uh rainstorm.
>> Mhm.

20
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:16,320
» And the south end of our street
uh completely flooded up to the garage.

21
00:01:12,320 --> 00:01:19,920
People's actual garages. Um the school
the preschool that's there was also

22
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:22,680
flooded, and water was coming from
there.

23
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:28,960
The sewer was not draining. It was not
plugged. And um I think six houses on

24
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:34,320
that end uh were affected.
Couldn't get into their their homes

25
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:38,960
uh safely. So,
um and I that's the second time that's

26
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:44,120
happened. I 2 years ago, that happened
also, and someone's car ended up being

27
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:48,560
totaled because it was parked in that
area

28
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:52,440
where it flooded. Um and then the water
actually

29
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:59,400
drained like all of a sudden, like
somebody turned a pump on, and

30
00:01:54,880 --> 00:02:03,760
and uh vortexed it it down. So,
I just wanted to raise this as an issue.

31
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:06,440
I don't know if it can be looked into or
what the issue is.

32
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:08,720
» can look into it, for sure.
>> So.

33
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:12,200
» Okay, I just had a question real quick.
>> Yes.

34
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:16,280
I do we have video also?
>> Yeah, I got a guy.

35
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:18,800
» So, that would be your personal
property?

36
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:22,480
» Uh,
this is mine and it was down here.

37
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:24,080
» down at the south end of the world.
>> end. Yes.

38
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:26,120
» In the back?
>> Yeah, it was uh uh over the front here.

39
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:29,160
So,
>> Okay, so all around the property?

40
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:31,360
» All this was flooded. Water was coming
down from there.

41
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:33,320
» Okay. Thank you.
>> All right, thank you.

42
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:34,640
» That's the guy that'll be able to look
into it.

43
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:38,400
» Got it?
>> So, yeah, we're good. We'll look into it

44
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:41,560
and we'll figure this out for you.
>> All right.

45
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:41,560
» Okay, thank you.

46
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:50,120
Um, there are no citizens requesting
placement on the agenda and then we have

47
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:53,640
minutes to be approved. Hopefully you
had time to review and I'll take a

48
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:57,640
motion on the storm water board meeting
minutes from June 23rd.

49
00:02:55,880 --> 00:03:00,720
» Uh, Mr. President, I was not here, so I
will be abstaining from any voting on

50
00:02:59,239 --> 00:03:04,680
this.
>> I make a motion to approve the storm

51
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:08,880
water board minutes from June 23rd,
2026.

52
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:13,400
» I'll second it.
All those in favor?

53
00:03:10,959 --> 00:03:17,360
» Aye.
>> And John abstains.

54
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:22,480
All right.
Uh, staff reports. Tony.

55
00:03:21,640 --> 00:03:25,080
» That's good evening.
>> Good evening.

56
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:29,000
» Um,
I am looking to do a project out at the

57
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:32,800
at the public works. Um,
scope of the project is needed to

58
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:36,400
capture a storm water from the new
street department building and the

59
00:03:34,239 --> 00:03:39,600
properties to the east and south.
The water will be conveyed into ditches

60
00:03:37,959 --> 00:03:42,360
and swales, which will be excavated
during construction.

61
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:48,360
We are looking to pave around the
building and the driveway going to 112th

62
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:52,360
uh, to eliminate and keep manageable
from dirt, dust, and maintenance.

63
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:55,840
First of all, we'll go with the ditch on
the south side of the building

64
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:59,360
will be constructed first, approximately
460 ft long by 3 ft wide.

65
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:02,760
Uh
storm water from the downspouts of the

66
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:06,200
street department will be done as
follows.

67
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:09,320
Um
we're going to try to capture the water

68
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:12,120
coming off the roof and getting it into
its system so it doesn't get in front of

69
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:15,160
everything.
South side of the building will be will

70
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:20,720
be piped directly to the ditch at the
downspout locations using an 8-in SDR 26

71
00:04:18,280 --> 00:04:25,320
heavy wall pipe. North side of the
building will have

72
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:28,919
the downspouts tied into 10-in SDR 26
pipe that runs from the west end of the

73
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:31,400
building to the east side of of the
building

74
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:35,120
with an open grade structure and it
includes a 1-ft

75
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:39,560
sump to collect sediment before heading
northeast uh to the existing culvert

76
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:45,120
going to Deer Creek ditch.
The piping running northeast will be a

77
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:50,080
12-in C900 DR 18 to accommodate heavy
loads in that area.

78
00:04:47,919 --> 00:04:56,880
Um and then the paving we are looking to
pave from the garage doors, garage door

79
00:04:53,160 --> 00:05:00,280
approaches, 30 ft to the south and north
sides of the building and 60 ft on the

80
00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:03,919
east side of the building to accommodate
a parking lot.

81
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:08,320
Paving on the north and south sides will
be having 2% slope away from the

82
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:11,120
building runoff. Remainder of the paving
will include

83
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:15,120
paving around the salt barn and the
driveway going from 112 all the way down

84
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:19,600
to the salt barn area.
Paving contractor is responsible for

85
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:23,640
grading the site prior to asphalting.
Um

86
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:28,160
so the next page shows you
a couple of proposals that I got

87
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:33,680
uh for the piping and ditch work.
Piping ditch work and swale LGS Plumbing

88
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:36,280
came in at $78,836.
Um

89
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:41,240
and the
and the price per board for for storm

90
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:45,440
water would be $26,280.
Um

91
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:49,080
H2O Plumbing came in at $75,000.
That brings us to the price per board at

92
00:05:46,840 --> 00:05:54,320
$25,000.
Uh Prowse for paving site services

93
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:59,400
$225,138.
Price per board $75,046.

94
00:05:57,320 --> 00:06:05,520
And American Paving came in
um with a price per board of the storm

95
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:10,280
at $35,268.
Um

96
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:13,920
My recommendation is as following. H2
Plumbing for the piping and the ditch

97
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:18,960
work in the amount of $75,000. American
Paving in

98
00:06:15,280 --> 00:06:23,160
uh for the paving at $105,800.
Total

99
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:28,120
uh project cost $180,800.
Um the sewer board portion $60,266.67.

100
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:31,640
Storm water board portion will be
$60,266.67.

101
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:34,640
And the town council will be
$2,060,266.66.

102
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:39,240
You can add them up.
Any questions?

103
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:42,040
» Uh
I The only question I have is I don't

104
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:45,440
know if our engineers looked at this. Is
this paving for it is the asphalt going

105
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:49,480
to be adequate for this heavy load
trucking? Mike, do you know?

106
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:52,320
» I've not looked at the proposal, but I
we have we should

107
00:06:51,280 --> 00:06:54,520
» That That's my concern. Two and a half
inches of binder and an inch and a half

108
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:57,680
of surface. I just don't know if that's
enough for these trucks.

109
00:06:55,840 --> 00:07:01,400
» It'll depend on a lot of It'll depend on
what the stone base is that's existing

110
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:06,400
underneath it.
Uh that that would be consistent with

111
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:09,080
our our road profile, but
we don't know what the stone stuff would

112
00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:12,360
be under.
>> And like I said, the heavy loading is my

113
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:15,400
concern. I just I just My My thing would
be have them look at it. Just make sure

114
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:17,680
that we're getting what we pay for and
not redoing this in a few years. That's

115
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:19,720
just me though.
>> I I'm sorry. I didn't hear what you

116
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:22,560
» I'm just saying I would rather have our
engineer look and make sure that what

117
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:26,000
they're proposing this four inches of
pavement is adequate and the base is

118
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:28,240
adequate. I just don't want to
do it and then have to band-aid it again

119
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:29,800
and again.
>> Yeah.

120
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:32,720
» That's my only comment. So.
>> Well, yeah. So, I mean, just just so you

121
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:36,600
know, the base is pretty solid. I mean,
we've had

122
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:40,640
25 26 ton salt trucks coming in and out
of there for years. We've had no issues

123
00:07:38,919 --> 00:07:44,400
with any
anything sinking or you know, or or

124
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:49,040
anything out of that nature, they've
held up really well. Um

125
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:53,200
and then in you know, where the back of
the property where there was uh

126
00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:57,160
some bad soils, we dug it all the way
down to the clay,

127
00:07:54,720 --> 00:08:01,920
approximately almost 3 ft down,
and we filled it with grindings, layered

128
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:05,160
we layered it 6 in at a time, compacted
it, filled it up to where we needed it

129
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:08,680
to be, and we have our tandem and
everything driving across it.

130
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:12,480
Nothing has nothing has gone down,
nothing has sank.

131
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:15,040
No ruts, no nothing. So, I I think that
we have a pretty decent base out there.

132
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:17,960
If somebody wants to look at it, I have
no problem with that.

133
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:23,760
» But that's my only concern.
>> I know there's a time time sensitive on

134
00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:26,040
it. Is there something that you guys can
get out there and take a look at it uh

135
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:30,840
relatively quickly?
>> I wouldn't see any reason not to,

136
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:34,479
you know, move this forward and I I
would imagine Tony, the way I read the

137
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:38,200
the proposal briefly, I just read it
real quick, they put money in there for

138
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:42,599
uh
an allowance that you could order extra

139
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:47,160
stone if we needed it if if there was a
problem. So, I think that that would be

140
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:51,560
similar to any other road project. If if
we discover a problem, they just change

141
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:53,839
order in a couple tons of stone and we
move on.

142
00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:03,680
» So, your ask is pretty much similar to
what the

143
00:09:02,839 --> 00:09:05,920
sewer board?
>> Yep.

144
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:13,360
» So, that would be
on contingent of approval of all boards.

145
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:16,600
Is that about right what I hear what I
heard?

146
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:21,720
» It It was a $60,000 number.
>> Yeah. Yeah, the $60,000 266.67

147
00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:24,680
cents.
>> Yes.

148
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:27,400
» And then contingent on approval of all
three boards.

149
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:32,320
» If you wanted to.
>> Sewer board chose to make it contingent,

150
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:37,280
you can if you like.
>> All right.

151
00:09:33,680 --> 00:09:37,280
I don't see need. I think that

152
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:43,160
a straight up is
this is what one of the things that we

153
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:45,720
do is we're facing a new
drainage.

154
00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:48,240
But

155
00:09:48,560 --> 00:09:53,160
I can entertain a motion if anybody is
ready to do so.

156
00:09:55,240 --> 00:10:05,480
» I'll I'll make a motion that we um
contract H2O Plumbing for the piping and

157
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:09,480
ditch work in the amount of $75,000
and our portion of altogether $75,000

158
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:14,200
for H2O Plumbing, American Paving for
$105,800.

159
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:18,840
Total project $180,800
and this this board's portion would be

160
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:18,840
$60,266.67.

161
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:26,480
» Second.
>> All right.

162
00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:29,960
» Motion by John, second by Amy.
Any discussion?

163
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:32,640
Hearing none, all those in favor?
>> Aye.

164
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:32,640
» Aye.

165
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:35,000
» All right.

166
00:10:35,680 --> 00:10:39,640
I have a quick question for you.
>> Sir.

167
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:45,200
» Um we had talked at previous meetings
about getting out to 103rd.

168
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:49,000
Um any movement on that to get that
jetted?

169
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:51,400
Get that jetted and or scooped out. I
don't know if they cleared out the brush

170
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:54,360
the brush that was there.
>> I've been having some health issues last

171
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:58,000
this last month. So I haven't been able
to get out there to take a look at it. I

172
00:10:56,040 --> 00:11:01,240
mean we got out there with the uh tire
that we mowed everything down around the

173
00:10:59,560 --> 00:11:05,839
front of it that you see.
Um so now that uh

174
00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:08,640
you know, depending on this last rain
that we had, I don't know how much

175
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:11,440
water's flowing through there but
you know, we had talked about doing some

176
00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:14,800
sort of a
damming system in front of it so we can

177
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:17,680
try to clean it out.
You know, we're going to put a camera

178
00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:19,080
down there to see what it looks like at
least.

179
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:23,040
» Okay.
>> Just with the

180
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:26,240
that thing's got to be what, 12 ft lower
than the road level?

181
00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:29,320
» Uh at the lowest point I would say I'd
say about 10 to 12 ft, yeah.

182
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:31,120
» Yeah, so we just I want to get in there
with a camera.

183
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:35,040
» Okay.
>> Run the camera down there.

184
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:39,080
Um see what it looks like. You know, we
have to have the water levels low.

185
00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:42,160
Okay. It would have been last week.
>> All right.

186
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:44,720
» So, I'm on that.
>> Okay.

187
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:47,680
I just want to keep it on keep it on the
radar so we can get that

188
00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:54,400
take care of it and get another thing
scratched off the list. So, excellent.

189
00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:57,840
All right. Any other questions for Tony?
Hearing none none, let's move on to new

190
00:11:56,680 --> 00:12:00,440
business.
It's a recommendation to the town

191
00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:04,000
council consideration of an interlocal
agreement with the Little Calumet River

192
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:09,560
Basin Development Commission for the
East 117th Avenue Drainage Improvement

193
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:12,840
and Watershed Study Projects.
Nick, you want to talk to me?

194
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:16,480
» We reported on this. I think it was at
this board.

195
00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:19,640
Could have been at the council. But, we
received some

196
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:22,320
funding from the Little Calumet River
Basin Development Commission to study

197
00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:27,680
drainage
on East 117th Avenue primarily between

198
00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:33,840
sort of the town borders area and Ben
Street. So, that stretch through there.

199
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:33,840
Uh

200
00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:39,680
It requires an interlocal agreement with
the community.

201
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:43,040
Just wanted to get the Stormwater Board
sign off on this. It actually gets

202
00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:46,720
executed at the town council, but I
thought it made sense for the Stormwater

203
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:52,360
Board to have some involvement on a
stormwater board or a stormwater item in

204
00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:54,400
town and a known issue that we've had
for a long time.

205
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:59,280
» Makes sense.
>> The Little Calumet River Basin is

206
00:12:55,720 --> 00:13:01,160
picking up 80% of
So, 80/20.

207
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:05,400
» And this is
again for the

208
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:11,320
the study to see
>> Well, they probably remember us looking

209
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:16,760
at this once before. But, we
didn't have the means to do much more

210
00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:16,760
than what we were able to do.

211
00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:22,080
We had applied to the River Basin
Commission and

212
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:27,160
we weren't successful at that point. So,
we did what we could. We reapplied and

213
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:32,000
they are sponsoring their portion of the
study so we can look at a more global

214
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:34,560
solution to that whole area over there.
Is the big issue is that pipeline that's

215
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:39,120
running
>> Yeah, we got the old railroad and the

216
00:13:36,560 --> 00:13:42,160
pipe that goes underneath it and now
we've got so much more traffic down

217
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:45,480
there with the schools.
And

218
00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:49,320
the subdivisions and the 117th has
gotten a lot more important in that zone

219
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:52,080
since that time.
>> Okay.

220
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:56,560
Um,
any ideas how long this will take?

221
00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:59,360
» The watershed analysis?
>> Yes.

222
00:13:57,120 --> 00:14:03,200
» Uh, Frank's already kind of started it.
>> Okay. That's fine.

223
00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:06,040
» So it shouldn't take an exorbitant
amount of time but I would imagine we'll

224
00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:08,840
have it done before the end of the year.
>> Wonderful. Okay.

225
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:12,880
Any questions?
>> No.

226
00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:15,760
» All right. Now I'll entertain a motion.
>> Um, Mr. President, I'd like to make a

227
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:18,600
favorable recommendation to the town
council for consideration of the

228
00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:22,200
interlocal agreement with the Little
Calumet River Basin Development

229
00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:25,840
Commission for East 117th Avenue
Drainage Improvement Watershed Study

230
00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:28,040
Project.
>> Second.

231
00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:30,800
» Motion by John, second by Amy.
Discussion?

232
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:33,480
Hearing none, all those in favor?
>> Aye.

233
00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:33,480
» Aye.

234
00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:40,240
All right. Treasurer's report.
>> Uh, good evening everyone. For your

235
00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:43,120
consideration
and approval,

236
00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:48,320
uh, we have a total of three claims this
evening

237
00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:48,320
for a grand total of $9,317.55.

238
00:14:53,920 --> 00:15:00,560
» I'd like to make a motion to pay the
claims for July in the amount of

239
00:14:57,640 --> 00:15:03,080
$9,317.55
as presented here.

240
00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:06,680
» Second.
>> Motion by John, second by Amy. Any

241
00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:08,480
discussion?
Hearing none, all those in favor?

242
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:10,120
» Aye.
>> Aye.

243
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:14,280
» Aye.
Uh, next Storm Water Board meeting will

244
00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:15,480
be Tuesday, August 25th. I'll entertain
a motion.

245
00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:17,920
» Motion to adjourn.
