CITIZENS TO BE COMMUNICATIONS AND PETITIONS — CITIZENS TO BE HEARD HEARD Mr. George Clowes South Elm Street Mr. Clowes addressed the Village Board regarding Public Access Television. Citing various local programs he is involved with Mr. Clowes highlighted the importance of Public Access Television. Unfortunately, he believes the recent action by Comcast to close the Skokie location suggests the availability of Public Access programming may be short -term; the only remaining Comcast Public Access facility is in Mount Prospect. While it is unclear what will happen in the long -term Mr. Clowes wanted to bring this to the Village Boards attention and seek their support for Public Access programming. Village Manager Janonis stated he has discussed Comcast's recent decision with the Village's TV Production Coordinator, Mr. Howard Kleinstein. One (1) of the options discussed was to organize a consortium of local municipalities to maintain a shared studio for public access. There was a brief discussion regarding the change in technology and how it has affected the use of public access equipment and locations. Mayor Juracek thanked Mr. Clowes; stating that while technology may be different the Village recognizes the value of public access programming and shall remain vigilant in its efforts not to lose local public access.

NEW BUSINESS NEW BUSINESS A. A Resolution Authorizing Approval of the Official Zoning Map of the Village of Mount Prospect. Approved under the Consent Agenda. MANAGER'S MANAGER'S REPORT REPORT A. Motion to accept bid for the 2014 Street Resurfacing Program in an amount not to exceed $8,961,280. 2014 STREET RESURFACING Public Works Director Sean Dorsey presented background information and staff PROJECT recommendation for the 2014 Street Resurfacing Program. The goal of the Village's Street VBA 12 -14 Resurfacing Program is to maintain an average 20 -year life for all Village streets; this requires that 6.8 miles of Village streets are resurfaced on a yearly basis. In addition to the 6.8 mile criteria, this year's program includes 12.0 miles of streets; due to reduced funding in previous years the additional 12 miles are considered "backlog." The 2014 program is being funded through the street improvement fund and supplemented by bonds. Due to the size of this year's program it is to the Village's advantage to delay the use of Motor Fuel Tax (MFT) funds until next year; this will allow the Village to streamline the preparation of plan /specifications to meet the 2014 project schedule. Three (3) contractors submitted bids: the lowest bid submitted for the project was from Arrow Road Construction Company; $8,393,393.41. (Engineer's estimate was $9,292,817.00) The Village budget for this project is $9,705,280; $744,000 from this amount has been set aside for resurfacing of streets as part of the Isabella Storm Drainage Improvement Project. Staff recommend the 2014 Street Resurfacing Program contract be awarded to the low bidder Arrow Road Construction in an amount not to exceed $8,961,280. In response to questions from the Village Board, Mr. Dorsey provided the following: • Concrete curb and sidewalk to begin as early as possible in March. • Work will be done in waves — least disruptive to residential streets. • Three (3) - four (4) weeks between milling machine work; milling machine controls operation, • Public Works staff will oversee project; good communication with Arrow Road. • Public Works will distribute Residential Information Bulletins (RIBs) to keep residents affected by project up to date on work schedules. Will also notify other entities that may be impacted by work; schools, bus companies, etc. ■ 2014 will be more difficult — more streets to be resurfaced. ■ Map /list of streets to be resurfaced will be distributed. ■ Bid price — 10% under Engineers estimated cost. Village Board Comments • Good decision to delay use of MFT funds until next year; beneficial to project schedule. • Arrow Road — Mount Prospect contractor. • Arrow Road — proven expertise and knowledge. • Similar catch -up work performed in the 1990's. Trustee Hoefert expressed his concern with the condition of roads and quality of repair work done on roads not maintained by the Village. He referenced the Kensington Road project and the Village's agreement with the state to take ownership of the road at the completion of the extensive road improvement project. 4 of 5 Minutes of the Regular Meeting of the March 4, 2014 Mayor and Board of Trustees of the Village of Mount Prospect Trustee Hoefert questioned if a similar agreement could be negotiated with Cook County for Busse Road improvements. Mr. Dorsey stated at the request of the Village, Cook County did some repair work to Busse Road last year. He noted the concrete pieces on Busse Road between Golf Road and Lonnquist Boulevard are maintained by the State. Cook County has indicated road improvements to Busse Road would be conditional; jurisdictional transfer of the road to the Village of Mount Prospect. The Village believes having the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) take jurisdiction would be the logical extension for road maintenance. Village Manager Janonis stated if the Village Board wanted to pursue improvement of Busse Road staff could initiate conversations with the County and State; open discussion of jurisdictional exchanges. There appeared to be a general consensus for staff to initiate contact with State and County officials to discuss how best to facilitate improvements to Village roads that are not under the Village's jurisdiction In response to Trustee Korn's question regarding the Isabella drainage project and street resurfacing project, Village Manager Janonis stated staff would provide an update of the Isabella drainage project at the April 8, 2014 Committee of the Whole meeting. Trustee Zadel, seconded by Trustee Polit, moved for approval of request to accept bid for 2014 Street Resurfacing Program in an amount not to exceed $8,961,280. Upon roll call: Ayes: Hoefert, Korn, Matuszak, Polit, Rogers, Zadel Nays: None Motion carried B. Motion to accept quote bid from Equipment Management Company for the purchase of Genesis extrication equipment in an amount not to exceed $67,628. Approved under the Consent Agenda. C. Motion to approve request to accept state bid price for the purchase of 27 Dell PCs in an amount not to exceed $28,415.90. Approved under the Consent Agenda. D.Status -Coffee with Council — March 8, 2014, 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m, Village Hall — Community Center OTHER BUSINESS OTHER BUSINESS ■ Removal of holiday decorations. Village Code requires outdoor holiday decorations be removed sixty (60) days after the holiday. After a brief discussion there was a general consensus to leave the regulation in place as written. The Village uses a common sense approach with enforcement and will work with residents who are not in compliance. It was noted that the removal of holiday lighting is also a public safety issue; lights are not designed for extended outdoor exposure — potential safety hazard. ADJOURN ADJOURN There being no further business to discuss Mayor Juracek asked for a motion to adjourn. Trustee Rogers, seconded by Trustee Polit, moved to adjourn the meeting. By unanimous vote the March 4, 2014 Village Board meeting adjourned at 7:57 p.m. M.
