Mayor Latta appointed Tony Consola of 407 Illinois Street to the
Plan Commission effective immediately and his term will run until
April, 1991. He will replace Ran Mentzer on the Plan Commission.
Administrator Pusinelli spoke in reference to the Frederick
Street (Plainfield Acres) Water/Sewer Extension Project. He
supplied the Board with a memo of Cost Considerations dated
November 19, 1990 from Hamilton Engineering; map "A" results of
survey (December 7, 1990); "B" results of December 7, 1990 plated
on the Stage map; "C" results from survey of November 15, 1990.
We opened bids November 15,1990 as a result of our cost was lower
than the engineer's estimate. The Village has not, to date,
decided what stages they intend on completing. The letters that
went out to residents explained the casts of tap-on fees and the
pro-rata share o£ construction fees, which was the low bid price
divided among the various lots that would be affected. Also the
additional fee to pay a contractor to hook each residence to
water and/or sewer if they choose. Mayor Latta also explained
due to the future rebuilding of St. Mary's School, there must be
enough water pressure in the area for a sprinkler system. Also
due to the damage in the area, same property owners might want to
tap-on to the utilities at this time. She explained we went out

for bids in four (4) areas: Stage 1 - from Renwick on Frederick
to Julie and Getson (water and sewer); Stage 2 - Frederick north
of Julie and Robert (sewer only); Stage 3 - Norman, water and
sewer & Route 59 sewer only; Stage 4 - Julie and Benson (sewer
only). A question from someone in the audience - what was the
response from the survey? Administrator Pusinelli stated we had
34 no, 18 maybe, 25 yes and about 24 no responses. D. Gullicksen
stated he feels it is almost cost prohibitive to the homeowners.
He suggested the .Village recover the construction costs and waive
the tap-on fees and annex the area. We have to have 85 to 90~ to
do the entire project (Stages 1, 2, 3 and 4). Engineer Hamilton
stated the combined cost of Stage 1, 2, and 3 Norman only would
be approximately $208,000. Mayor Latta stated if we go with this
suggestion, the only thing we are not doing is Route 59, Benson
and Julie with sewer extension. D. Gullicksen stated we would. do
these extensions if we had the interest from the property owners.
He stated we need to reallocate the .cost and send out another
letter to these people with actual figures of cost. There were
some concerned property owners in the audience. A property owner
questioned the cost per property. Mr. Hamilton stated, figuring
we could serve 38 water users and 72 sewer lots, it would break
down to $1,863 sewer and $1,956 water, plus the contractors cost
for the lines to the house. The Board committed to Stage 1, 2
and Norman Street. Chief Bennett spoke in reference to some
houses in the Village and some out. It could create a big
problem. There was some discussion on a time limit an the waiver
of the tap-on fees. It was the consensus of the Board that June
1, 1991 would be the end of waivers of tap-on fees. There was
some discussion on how these people could pay the line charges.
D. Gullicksen stated we could finance these charges with interest
of 10 1/2~ to 11~ over five (5) to seven (7) years. It was the
consensus of the Board that the Engineer contact the first three
(3) bidders far a list of municipalities they have worked for in
the past. Mayor Latta stated we will hold off one (1) week from
awarding the. bid so Mr. Hamilton can investigate the reputation
of the low bidder. Tt was the consensus that the project will
consist of Stages 1, 2 and Norman Avenue. On Norman, the water
will run west from Frederick under Route 59 and connect with
existing water line. The sewer will run from Frederick west and
stop at the Baptist Church property. We will run the loop on
Roberts across Route 59 (all of Stage 1 and 2). We will not
proceed with Stage 4 (Benson Street area). There will be another
letter be sent to Stage 4 property owners with more explanation.
D. Gullicksen moved to take five (5) minute break. Seconded by
W. Sharp. Voice vote. 6 yes, 0 no. Motion carried.
