Lisa Angell Public Works CALL TO ORDER Chairman Luted called the meeting to order at 7:35 p.m. APPROVAL OF MINUTES Minutes from the January 17, 2002 Commission meeting were approved as written. Minutes from the April 18, 2002 Commission meeting were approved as written. CITIZEN FORUM No individuals were in attendance to address the Commission. The Solid Waste Coordinator reported Public Works did receive a suggestion from a resident regarding the Christmas tree collection period. The resident suggested the period for collecting trees for composting be extended to accommodate those residents who leave their trees up beyond the current collection period could compost their trees. SOLID WASTE PROGRAMS AND DATA It was noted that the amount of recyclables collected in December 2002, 11352,50 pounds was the largest quantity collected since the Village implemented the recycling program in 1989. There was a brief discussion on the on-going problems with the collection of corrugated cardboard. Public Works is aware that the ARC drivers will leave properly prepared corrugated behind and/or the ARC refuse driver disposes of it with the regular garbage. The Solid Waste Coordinator reported that she has talked to the route supervisor on a number of occasions. It is her understanding that ARC will have new recycling trucks in April that will be able to compact the boxes so size and quantity will no longer be an issue. Until then, the drivers are to tag and submit a daily list of recyclables that were not collected and why. OTHER · Soda Bottle Receptacles The Village is still waiting for the shipment of the plastic recycling receptacles in the shape of a soda bottle. Purchased by SWANCC the containers will be placed in visible locations throughout the community to encourage the recycling of plastic containers. Environmental Awareness Calendars The Village ordered several thousand April Environmental Awareness Calendars from SWANCC. Provided at no cost the calendars will be distributed to all local elementary and junior high schools. Open House The Commission will again man the solid waste "booth" at the May 17, 2003 Public Works Open House. Commercial Solid Waste Contract Chairman Luted informed the Commission members that the Village and Chamber of Commerce may once again evaluate the feasibility of a Village administered exclusive commercial solid waste contract.

Those present: Mayor Farley, Trustee Michaele Skowron, Trustee Irvana Wilks, Trustee Michael Zadel. Village Manager Michael Janonis, and Fire Chief Mike Figolah. Residents in Attendance: David Schein Carol Tortorello Martin Thomas 512 South NaWaTa 223 S. Elmhurst Ave. 718 N. Pine Street Mr. Thomas explained the flood control work he had done on his home and wondered if there was money still in the Village budget to reimburse him for some of his expense. Mr. Thomas explained that he added a gated check valve and ejector pit to prevent water back up. Mr. Janonis explained that there is about $5000 annually for this project. It is available based on a first come first serve basis and he is unaware if monev is available. Mr. Janonis asked for Mr. Thomas' telephone number; as he will forward this ~ssue on to the Building Department for follow up. Carol TortoreIIo informed Chief Figolah of the large crowds she experienced the Friday after Thanksgiving at Wal-Mart. She brings this issue because of the recent events of overcrowding in nightclubs. The Chief stated that he wasn't familiar the problem at Wal-Mart, but would monitor. David Schein brought pictures of his home showing his disconnected gutter downspouts. He disconnected them at the request of the Village. He is experiencing water shed problems since disconnecting the downspouts from the sewer. The watershed problem was further exasperated by a crack in his foundation close to a downspout. Unfortunately it is difficult to lengthen the downspout discharge away from the home due to driveway and sidewalk. Mr. Schein stated that he would call the Village Engineer to see if he could re-attach one of the downspouts to the sewer line. Mr. Schein also brought up the idea of requiring all buildings to have an illuminated address s~gn for easy identification. He shared recent discussions with Chief Figolah. Chief Figolah stated that he thought the concept would be of great benefit, but would be too costly to require. The Chief went on to state that the s~gn would be approximately $I00 and would require an electric feed. It was generally accepted that the project is too costly to pursue. The meeting was adjourned at 10:40 am. Respectfully Submitted, Michael Figolah Fire Chief
