changing the name of "Nikkel Road" to "Coilplus Drive." He stated
their company is a steel processing company and their desire as they
came into our community to be a good corporate citizen. They are an
internationally owned company. Types of customers they will be seeki
will be the type that Plainfield would be proud of seeing such as
Maytag, Jennaire, GE, etc. Those will be the types of people they
will be corresponding with and will be coming into this community.
There was a short discussion on how the road was named Nikkel Road.
Mr. O'Brien stated that in his investigation there is no trace of
Nikkel Road as an officially named road. He also stated they are the
only company on that road. No one else uses that road as an address.
Coilplus has held up on ordering their stationery, etc. in hopes the
Village will allow the name change.
ng
There was some discussion an when the road would become the property
of the Village.
J. Harvey stated the road will be ours when it is dedicated.
The Village can change the name of the road because it is within our
boundary. When the name of a road is changed we are required to notify
the County Clerk and the Fast Office and upon receipt of that notice
the name change will be effective 30 days after that notice.
There was some discussion on the design of the road because it
narrows as it comes to 143rd Street. There will be a lot of big trucks
in and out of there. M. Pusinelli stated Hamilton Engineers has looked
at the design plans.

Mr. R. V. Norene was present to discuss the redemption of $180,000
waterworks and sewerage revenue bonds.
He stated the referendum did give us authority to go ahead and issue
bonds sufficient to redeem the outstanding bonds. The bond ordinance
itself has certain requirements as to how to do this. You can do it
twice a year, effective January 1st or July 1st. To do it either one
of those times you must 30 days in advance publish notice of intention
to do this. We're in a position right now to do this as of January 1st.
It requires us to make publication prior to December 1st so that we
can get this underway. Mr. Norene recommended the Board adopt this
resolution. The Board was in agreement.

would be to convene and accept the best bid for the bands, formally
adapt the bond ordinance which sets the tax levy in place. All of
these things are necessary to get the bonds in a position where we can
deliver them and receive bond proceeds prior to December 31st.

Village. If the 120 days was not met, Hamilton will deduct from the

M. Pusinelli reported on the Municipal Compliance Plan-Payout Request
No. 4 and Final. This is for our wastewater treatment plant. We
have received already $351,000 for this project.. We are due to
receive a total of $370,000 from Build Illinois Funds in addition to
another $50,000 next spring. We have received a request for final
payment from the contractor Modern Builders of Joliet in the amount of
$24,237.28.
Staff recommends first that the President and Board of Trustees
approve payout request No. 4 in the amount of $24,237.28 contingent
upon the submittal of all the applicable waivers of lien to the Village
by Modern Builders; secondly that we transfer the appropriate sum
from the Water/Sewer Fund account to the Municipal Compliance Plan
Fund account to meet the payout amount; third, that payment be made by
the Village to Modern Builders from the Village's Municipal Compliance
Plan Fund; and fourth, that we request $18,500 from the Illinois EPA
in Build Illinois Funds.
D. Gullicksen asked why would we make the authorization for final payment
tonight when one of the final inspections is not going to be until
tomorrow?
M. Pusinelli stated we have been requested to do so by the IEPA to
have the final payout request to them so that they can go ahead and
perform the inspection. There's not only going to be an inspection
tomorrow, there's also going to be an audit, and before they'll come
out and do the audit they will want to see our last payout request
processed. We can't receive any of our final money from the IEPA until
that audit has been Bane.
