It has been seriously pock-mazked from all the construction that has been done. in that area. They want this put on record as part of this meeting and that we have acknowledged receipt of their letter.. They are requesting the village bare the cost of the replacing five (5) sections of sidewalk infront of their home. The normal policy is the Village would pay one-half (~) the cost and the home owner would pay one-half (~) of replacement of the sidewalk and we would probably be willing to do that under our sidewalk program. John Lahmar stated he disagrees. They had nothing to do with the condition of the sidewalk and the problem should be between the 'Village and the contractor. He questioned if there was a performance bond issued for the construction of that Center? Mayor Latta stated there was a performance bond for the cutting of the street for sewer and water cuts in the street. W. Sharp stated the band, in his opinion, was only to .put the street in order.

J. Dement reported Ajit Singh is no longer with DeuehTer Associates. xe is returning to school at Stanford University. At this time, Gene Cordon will fill in as our engineer until they appoint someone to the Village. Engineer, Gene Cordon, hopes to have the preliminary plans done in the next couple of weeks for the Municipal Compliance Plan. After J. Dement's suggestion, Mayor Latta appointed Mark Pusinelli, John Donahue, Karen Callanan, Harry Countryman and Jeff Dement to a committee to go over the plans on the Municipal Compliance Plan. J. Dement reported on the Radium Variance Petition. We are aware the Village is not able to extend our water mains due to the restricted status that has been placed on the Village. The water department is looking fox some direction. Tn the memo from H. Countryman, they have Tilted varqus alternatives. T have several questions that 1 would like answered, therefore, 1 would like to meet with H. Countryman, M. Pusinelli and K. Callanan. One of my questions, if we apply for a variance, when would we have to have the plant to take the radium out of our water? M. Pusinelli stated the E.P.A, looks at the Variance. Tf they agree with the request, such as a variance for 1 year, 3 years or 5 years, during that time,. the community would be expected to come into compliance. The Illinois Pollution Control Board may not agree with the request. We may ask for five (5) years and they. say you have to come into compliance within one year. There are so many different circumstances that are PLAINFIELD VILLAGE BOARD OF TRTJSTEES September 3,1986 Page Six different in each community. Miming of shallow well water with deep. well water is one way of lowering the content of the radium. Mayor Latta questioned H. Countryman if he knew what variance some of the communities around us has received? H. Countryman stated Minooka received three (3) year. variance but not sure on other communities. Mayor Latta ~Cated she would like Mark Pusinelli, K. Callanan, H. Countryman, J. Bement, Gene Gordon (Engineer) and J. Donahue can meet to begin pursuing the alternatives for the variance and have a recommendation to being back to the Board, we need many more answers. J. Dement stated he also would like the Board to be.aware we are in the middle Municipal Compliance Plan. We have prints to review, bids to be let in the near future and the expense will be difficult to meet. Also, two. (2) weeks aga, we passed out information from the E.P.A. regarding other hazardous. substances being looked at in the Village's water. We will need more information on this. It will be another item we must consider. Chief Bennett reported'he and the Park District Supervisor have met and in relation to Mrs. Nemeth's concern of traffic at Boy Scout Park. We have ,surveyed the area and come up with some recommendations. We will be meeting with Mrs. Nemeth this Friday (9/S/86). We will inform the Board of their decision. J.
