PRESIDENTIAL COMMENTS
Mayor Rock stated he read in the newspaper where Joliet is planning a new sewage plant and asked
Mr. Testin for an update. Mr. Jim Testin stated Joliet has proposed to put a treatment facility down
by the Aux Sable Creek. The service area is approximately 18 square miles and would service
approximately 77,000 people. The area that is identified is south of our boundary agreement, but our
boundary agreement only runs for a couple more years. There are concerns to planning staff as to
what this may mean in the future in terms of the school district, growth, traffic, and storm water
management. Administrator Burghard pointed out that the boundary agreement presently existing
with the City of Joliet states that we will not formally object to their extensions of the FPA, perhaps
the appropriate way to address these planning issues is a letter ftom Mayor Rock to Mayor Schultz of
Joliet. The Board expressed no objection to sending a letter to Mayor Schultz.
