School Board Member, Michael Kelly read a statement from the District stating that it appears that the timing for the Village on the water and sewer lines and the timing for the school district on construction and opening of the school cannot be coordinated to meet both sides legitimate needs. Village Administrator Terry Burghard stated that the school board wants guarantees that the water line will be in by November 1, 1999 and the sewer line by July 1 of 2000. They also have requested a six million dollar letter of credit from the Village to cover construction security; Village funding for a road, landscaping, lighting and sidewalk improvements; and a waiver of annexation, impact, water and sewer connection fees. Those requests would cost Village taxpayers about $1.1 million to fund. Twenty-five percent of the people in the district shouldn't pay some of those costs. Only a quarter of the school district population resides in the Village of Plainfield. Village Board members responded by adopting a resolution, which was presented by Trustee Kurt Stalzer offering an intergovernmental agreerdent that would assure school board members of utilities no later than July 31, 2001. As a security measure, Trustee Stalzer proposed the Village seek a temporary connection agreement to City of Joliet utility service at Mirage Developme.nt that would be approximately a half-mile away from the school site. Both Mike Kelly and Elizabeth Eichelberger indicated they personally liked what they were hearing in the new resolution. H. Hamilton, Village Engineer requested that we remove from the proposed Resolution Item C. Potable & Fire Water - "including, but not limiting to water tower pressure adjusting, ... deep well". R. Smolich moved to adopt Resolution No. 1223 authorizing the preparation of the necessary documents and ordinances for an intergovernmental agreement between the Village of Plainfield and Plainfield Consolidated School District 202, also to incorporate the change of wording of Item C and with the intention that this be a guidance document to establish the official resolution, and that this meets our corporate attorney's approval.
