VILLAGE MANAGER'S REPORT Village Manager Michael Janonis stated the Public Works Department is requesting approval to waive the bid process and accept the Northwest Municipal Conference (NWMC)/Suburban Purchasing Cooperative (SPC) fuel contract extension. Public Works Deputy Director Sean Dorsey provided background information on the request to approve the third and final, one (1) year extension of the Village's fuel contract originally entered in 2003. CROSS CONNECTION INSPECTION PROGRAM Mr. Dorsey stated that while the Village's 2006 fuel usage is on average the same as 2005, the average cost of fuel has increased. The average cost for unleaded fuel is up 19% and diesel fuel is up by 14% from last year. In consideration of the escalating fuel costs the Village Board discussed developing a strategy to maximize fuel efficiency. Mr. Dorsey stated staff would research the viable options, including the use of vehicles using E85 fuel, to increase the efficiency of the Village's fuel consumption. Trustee Hoefert, seconded by Trustee Corcoran, moved to approve the request to waive the bid process and accept the Northwest Municipal Conference (NWMC) /Suburban Purchasing Cooperative (SPC) fuel contract extension for 2006 in an amount not to exceed $202,300. Upon roll call: Ayes: Corcoran, Hoefert, Korn, Lohrstorfer, Skowron, Zadel Nays: None Motion carried. Village Manager Michael Janonis stated the Public Works Department is also seeking approval to accept the proposal for the Cross Connection Inspection Program. Public Works Water/Sewer Superintendent Matt Overeem provided an overview of the Village's cross connection program and the request to accept the proposal for contractual services. Mr. Overeem stated the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA) regulations require the Village to survey all business/industrial premises with the potential for cross connections at least once every two (2) years. In order to collect accurate information and to meet the increased requirements in determining where backflow protection should be installed for the protection of the public water supply, the Village utilizes the services of licensed plumbers with cross connection control device inspection certification. Village Manager Michael Janonis added that while the inspections are a good practice, the IEPA regulation for cross connection inspections is yet another unfunded, state mandate for municipalities. He suggested the Village's ability to cover the costs associated with the inspection be an item of discussion at the mid-year budget review. The Village Board also commented on the financial impact of the state required but unfunded program. · Frequency of inspections - what standards were used to set the two (2) year requirement · Direct bill to the business for the required inspection - businesses in at least two (2) north/northwest suburbs are responsible for the full cost of an inspection Village Manager Michael Janonis will include the municipal management of the cross connection program in the Village's survey response to the Northwest Municipal Conference (NWMC) on what issues the municipalities would like the Conference to include on their agenda for discussion with Illinois legislators. In response to a question regarding inspection of single family homes, Mr. Overeem stated the Village has no plans to initiate inspection of cross connection in single-family homes. However, the Village does have information on the Village's website for single-family homeowners on how to protect their water supply.
