T. & A No. 57-97 Dear Mr. Appleby: The State requires, but does not furnish to municipalities, the services of design, control and testing of concrete and bituminous mixtures. It is customary for municipalities to hire a competent testing laboratory for this vJork, \illhich includes testing [Ilaterials and designing the mixtures, taking concrete cylinders, October 1 ~ 1957 3' C:Ci'""J -UQ} test-breaking these cylinders and furnishing reports to the State. We esti~ate from available information that the cost of the services for the referenced project will be approximately $900.00. This cost is eligible for payment from Kotor fuel tax funds. Inasmuch as the services are professional, the State does not require bids. It is resoectfullv requested that ~e be authorized .1 v', to retain a testing laboratory for these purposes.

Village IVlanager Appleby read the follovJing comrc,unication: September 30, ~957 Village Manager Mount Prospect, Illinois It has been requested that a foot bridge similar to those now in existence at Wa-Pella and Na Wa Ta be erected across Weller Creek at hain Street and that a gravel path be provided North of Weller Creek from that foot bridge to Berkshire Lane in order to provide safe access from the Country Club Terrace Development to Lions Park School and Central School for the -children of this area. It is urgently requested that the Board of Trustees take immediate steps to accomplish this project. Sincerely, sl Mr. & Mrs. Thomas E. Dunk 817 S. Emerson St. Mount Prospect, Illinois Trustee Airev stated that a committee inspecti of the premises had resulted in a decision that Main Street and Weller Creek would be the logical place f a foot bridge because the land on each side of Welle Creek belonged to the Village at this point. Truste Airev further stated that the Con~ittee had consider the installation of a sidewalk through the Public Fa October 1, 1957 86.1 in Council Trail Estates, rather than the installation of a sidewalk one foot from the property line, which would be very close to existing residences. Residents from this area voiced objections to the proposed sidevvalk. President Lams stated that the approved plat plainly states that the Public Park may be used for a public street when ~ain Street becomes a through street and Weller Creek is to be bridged. There was much discussion from the floor, both for and against the construction of a foot bridge and the proposed sidewalk. A motion was made by Trustee ~iller and second.ed by Trustee Broad that vvhen negotiations for the installation of a foot bridge over Weller Creek at Main Street have been compl~ted, that a sidewalk be installed on the West side of Village property to serve this bridge and that said sidewalk will be installed at Village expense according to ordinance and resolution at a cost not to exceed $700.00. The President put the question and the Clerk called the roll, with the following response: Ayes: All; Nays: None, whereupon the President declared the rr;otion carried. Villa.r::e lVlanager Appleby stated that a letter had been received from the Illinois Com~erce Commission and that any additional street lights installed after July 6, 1957 will cost the Village approximately 78% more than was previously the case. A motion was made by Trustee Willer and seconded by Trustee Norris that the Villa~e Attornev be directed to prepare an Ordinance requirin~ the inst~llation of street lights in the VillaR:e to be at the eXDense of the deve16per. The President put the questi~n and the Clerk called the roll, with the following response: Ayes: All, Nays: None, whereupon the President declared the motion carried. Village Manager Appleby stated that the Telephone Comoanv hAS now acceoted the Franchise Ordinance which entitles the Village<to additional free telenhone service. .. .~ A citizen's request for information pertaining to the proposed Village Plan resulted in a statement by Trustee Willer that the Kincaid Plan is a three stage development and ~ill cover a period of several years. President Lams then read thefolloviing communication: October 1, 1957 President and Board of Trustees Municipal Building Mount Prospect, Ill. Gentlemen: At your request, we have made an investigation of the present and future planned extensions to the Weller Creek interceptor of the Metropolitan Sanitary District of Greater Chicago to determine the effect of these extensions upon fhe Mount Prospect sewers v"hich are connected thereto. The Weller Creek interceotor is of 54" diameter and presently is terminated ~n the east side of Weller Creek at Central hoad in the VillaGe. The Sanitary District has awarded a contract for extending this se1:'I'er as a 54" in Lincoln Street v\iesterl~, to Busse Road. A branch from this sewer having an internal October 1~ 1957 3,(";) ~{~ , ,~ ~ t.v (O:j diameter of 36" is to be constructed in Busse hoad from Lincoln to Oakton street and a 24" branch ~onstructed in Oakton Street from Busse Road wester13 approximately one mile, to the Centex Subdivision. A further branch of size vet indeterminate is to be constructed from the inte~section of Busse Road and Lincoln Street northerly to Central Road, westerly ir Central Road to Route 53, and northerly in Route 53 to the Village or Palatine Sewage Treatffient Plant. The Sanitarv District ~ill then deactivate the Palatine pl~nt an0 take Palatine sewage into their int erc eptor. The areas nresentlv to be connected to the Vi'eller Creek inte~cepting'sewer are as follows: Portion of the City of Des Plaines I.D sq.mile~ Village of Mount Prospect 3.0 sq.~ile~ City of Rolling Keadows ~ sq .mile~ Present connected area 5.5 sq .mile~ 'f"<-li-;~""! ......"'" ... -iI).' ';-"':(, Recent checks of the dry weather flow show an averagE 10" depth ,^!hich occupies approximately 8 per cent of the total capacity of this sewer. C'.,' ,....,,; The additional areas presently planned to be connectE in the near future, to this sewer by the Sanitary District are as follows: VillaRe of Elk Grove Area lying between Elk Grove and I~iount Prospect 0.5 Plum Grove Estates Subdivision 0.5 Villa~e of Palatine 2.0 Winston Park Subdivision 1.0 0.5 square mile: square square square square Idle: mile: mile mile Total 4.5 square mile The additional load caused by these extensions might then be expected to increase the dry weather flow to about 15 per cent of the total capacity of this 54" sev,ler. Any difficulties encountered 'lrvitt surcharfin, of the ~~ller Creek interceptor could not, certainly be caused from overloading this sewer with dry weath flow because, as shown above, this at present occupies only a small portion of the capacity of thi sewer. During rains, quantities of storm drainage enter thi sewer through diversion chambers and through illegal storm connections to sanitary sewers and raise the liquid level in this and other Sanitary District sewers above the dry ~eather flow levdl. In some cases this has caused severe surcharging of Sanitary District interceptors. It cannot be stated with certainty that this has vet occurred in the Weller Creek interceptor as our~investigations and those of the Sanitary District give no DOS it i ve evidence that this has happened. We are advised by the Sanitary District that the Des Plaines River interceptor into which t~e Weller Cree interceptor outlets in Des Plaines has been subject frequent surcharging. To alleviate this condition a to reduce the load on the Southwest Treatment Works, the Sanitary District has desi~ned and contracted fo an extensio~ of their Howard SEreet interceptor, presently terminated in Niles, wetward to Des Plaine Flow from the Weller Creek interceptor will then be diverted from the Des Plaines interceptor to this ne extension which eventuallv outlets into the I\'icCorrdc Works of the Sanitary Disirict in Skokie. If backup from the Des Plaines River interceptor has caused an October 1, 1957 r~ 6 0'<< surcharge in the Weller Creek interceptor, this construction should alleviate the situation. t Other sources of sewage tha~ those above enu~erated may develop in the tributary district and tend to cause higher flows in the 54" interceptor. We understand however, that long range clans of the Sanitarv District contemplate anotb~r paiallel interceptor will"be installed on or near Higgins Road. If there are any further questions regarding this matter, please advise. ~ Ver~T truly :'ours, CONS01h, TOidNS.blm & ASSOCIATES S/ By: William J.
