Administrator Pusinelli reported on the "Regional Water Supply" referring to his January 28, 1987 metro to the Board recommending that the Village notify the City of Joliet that we wish to participate in the Design Report regarding the viability of the Kankakee River as a water source. The estimated cost for this study (Village's portion) $3,800. This study would advise the communities participating in the cost and viability of the Kankakee River Water. ~. Bootz questioned if they (Joliet) are firm on the cost at $1.00 per resident in the Village. Admin- . istrator Pusinelli stated he spoke to Mr. Duffield last week and he was still quoting $1.00 per resident, whatever our population (approximately 3,800). J. Dement stated he agrees we must look at alternatives. Also the staff is preparing information on the possibility of Lake Michigan water. J.

Administrator Pusinelli stated we have received proposals from Hamilton Engineering for the Downtown Stormwater Management Project which will be the Village's 1987 Will County Community Development Block Grant. The estimated engineering costs for compiling the plans and specifications for the project will have a total basic design fee, including Alternate #1, will be $8,795. .The area to be benefited by the Downtown Stormwater Management Program Project is bounded by Route 30 on the north, Illinois Street on the east, Chicago Street on the South, and by Fax River Street on the west. The storm sewer system will be extended west from Fox River Street through the alley to Illinois Street. New manhole and inlets along the route will provide for entry of stormwater runoff which now ponds in certain areas. The reconstruction of the alley in conjunction with the storm sewer will provide for more efficient drainage and will be less costly since a portion of the alley will already be torn up and need to be restored. As an add-on to consider extension of the storm sewer to allow disconnection of 2 inlets which appear to be connected to the sanitary sewer. These inlets are at the S.E. corners of Route 30 where it intersects with Illinois Street and with Des Plaines Street. During our field investigation in the design phase of the project, we would verify the need for these connections and the Village could then authorize the add-on if desired. The project will consist of 18", 15" and 12" storm sewer, manholes, catch basin, restoration, and re- construction of the alley. Our detailed breakdown of probable construction cost is included as Attachment #l. The probable construction cost for the basic project is $53,860. The probable construction cost for Alternate #1 is an additional $21,600. Mayor Latta stated the engineering costs would be in addition to the $$,795.00. Administrator Pusinelli reported we are having a Public Hearing Monday, March 23rd at 7:00 p.m. if the Board decides to proceed with the project. W. Sharp moved to proceed with the Will County Block Grant for Phase I, not to include Alternative #1. Seconded by D. Gullicksen. Vote by roll call.

PLAINFIELD VILLAGE BOARD OF TRUSTEES MARCH 16, 1987 PAGE THREE Gary Anton, representative from Amercian Cablesystexns, spoke in reference to cable construction and marketing in our com- munity. Mr. Anton thanked the Board for bringing Cable into the community. The first Cable was started in the Spring of 1.985, and first residences were hooked up in August, 1986. Amera.can Cable completed their marketing in January, 1987 and just under 70~ are hooked up to Cable. This is well above the norm for any community. Our future plans are that we will be extending to Van Horn Estates, Rolf Road, Van Dyke Road, The Lake and Weller Subdivision. They are considering Fon-du-lac, checking if on a cost analysis if it is effective for Cablesystems. There are some apartments in the Village that we are waiting permission from the landlords or Homeowners Association. Spring is almost here and if there is any res- idents that have some yard work due to our construction, that we have missedr they should contact us now. We have volunteers from the area getting together Plainfield news and items about Plainfield which will be viewed on Channel. 10.
