ACCEPTANCE OF MINUTES OF MARCH 25, 1996 Ill. CITIZENS TO BE HEARD Meeting Date and: Tuesday, April 8, '1996 7:30 p.m. IV. PROSPECT AVENUE SIDEWALK - DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENTS Our Village contractor, Martam Construction, is currently upgrading sidewalk, curb and gutter and street on the block of Prospect Avenue between Pine and Wille in conjunction with the property owners and business owners within that block. This project was bid earlier this spring after we rejected bids last year because the expense exceeded our estimates. While reviewing the situation in the field, we have concluded that just east of the improvement limits, the present sidewalk and drainage problem can be remedied during this same construction period. The property owners in the block between Main Street and Pine are implementing significant facade improvements scheduled for later this spring and if we were able to remedy the current drainage problem that would complement not only their facade project but other improvements between Pine and Wille. Our consulting engineer has prepared engineering drawings to modify the curb and sidewalk immediately adjacent to Sir Speedy at the intersection of Pine and Wille. We have taken these engineering plans to our current contractor and he is in the process of giving us final price estimates to complete the work. We believe this work including the engineering can be done for approximately $13,500 and there are funds available In the current year's budget to cover these costs. A complete cost estimate from the contractor will be available at the Committee of the Whole meeting. If the Board desires to move ahead with this extra work, the Manager would authorize the work to begin during the week of April 7 and we would have a formal contract amendment on the Agenda for the Board's consideration on April 15, V. CENTRAL ROAD IMPROVEMENTS Attached is a memorandum from the Director of Public Works Herbert Weeks regarding the planned improvement for Central Road between Rand and Wolf. The Village staff had anticipated applying for a Federal Grant in order to widen to four lanes in anticipation of additional traffic volumes. We had set aside $10,000 in the forthcoming budget for the initial planning phase. We have been informed by the Northwest Municipal Conference that FAU funding will no longer be available after October 1, 1986 and the Village cannot meet those time parameters. We bring this to your attention because we had informed you previously about our plans to initiate such work. A few months ago, the Mayor and Board of Trustees assigned to the staff the task of strengthening our Sign Ordinance requirements and building in greater emphasis upon aesthetic controls. The staff has completed its research on these topics and is prepared now to present to you the suggested revisions. Attached for your review from the Department of Planning and Zoning are those revisions and discussions about procedures and research. Steve Park will be available to discuss these matters in detail,.
