HomeMy WebLinkAbout0809_001COMMITTEE OF AGENDA Meeting Location. - Senior Citizens' Center 50 South Emerson Street I. CALL TO ORDER - ROLL CALL II. ACCEPTANCE OF MINUTES OF MARCH 24, 1987 III. CITIZENS TO BE HEARD Meeting Date and Time: Tuesday, April 14, 1987 7:30 p.m. In 1985, the Village was notified by the Prospect Meadows Sanitary District that they are proceeding with dissolution of the District pursuant to Illinois State Statutes. It was the Village Attorney's opinion that the Village had no choice but to accept the transfer of all assets, personal property and responsibility for this system. The actual dissolution was put on hold pending the outcome of the Sewer System Evaluation Survey by Donohue and Associates. The Village is now in receipt of that Survey. The Donohue Survey identifies numerous deficiencies in the system. These deficiencies present several issues which must be resolved by the Village. First, the Prospect Meadows System is in violation of MSD inflow and infiltration requirements. Second, what impact those deficiencies will have on the Village compliance with MSD requirements. Third, the approach to be taken with regard to bringing the Prospect Meadows area into compliance with MSD regulations ulations and, fourth, should it become necessary, how will the estimated $664,000 in rehabilitation costs be paid for. The Village should hold off acceptance of Prospect Meadows Sanitary District until after the mandatory monitoring of the Village's sewer system is completed. I do not feel the Village should jeopardize the compliance with MSD by including Prospect Meadows. They should stand on their own and if their addition to the Village's results would still meet acceptable standards, we should then add them in our total. Village staff will be present to answer your questions. V. CABLE FRANCHISE TRANSFER,, MODIFICATION AND COMPLIANCE Attached is a one page document from Trustee Farley with his recommendation to the Cable Council on how the transfer should take place for ownership of the cable system. Also attached is an extensive number of documents concerning numerous items regarding cable television over the years. We are approximately five years into the 15 -year Franchise that was granted. Karen Giet appears to have some concerns with the compliance. While none of the matters seem to be individually a major violation, collectively there is some concern about compliance. The Village Board needs to determine a policy for Mount Prospect concerning the transfer of ownership keeping in mind that there are several modifications which are significant that TCI has indicated they will be requesting in the future. Staff will be present to answer any questions. WON,', VI. WELL 117 Under an agreement with the Illinois Division of Waterways and as a condition of our receiving the Lake Michigan water allocation, the Village of Mount Prospect is required to abandon a number of its wells throughout the Village. A timetable for this abandonment was submitted to the proper authorities and to date, we have proceeded in a timely manner with the plugging of said wells. Well #7, located at Waterman and Gregory, is the last satellite facility to be abandoned. Abandonment of this Well would be in the best interest of the well since it has been giving us trouble for the last several years. As part of our agreement for receiving Lake Michigan water, the Village will still maintain five wells throughout the Village as an emergency back-up water supply. Well #7 is located on land that was purchased from' the Mount Prospect Park District and is, in fact, at the corner of a park located at this site. As part of the purchase agreement with the Park District, a reverter clause was included that provides for the return of this land at the time the parcel is no longer used as a well site. Staff will be looking for direction to proceed with the abandonment as well as taking necessary steps to return the property back to the Park District. Public Works Director Herb Weeks will be in attendance to answer your questions. - .. . .... .... The Public Works Department has conducted a survey which is attached in which we received responses from 22 communities on street repairs. In particular, the second half of the report addresses itself to whether or not there are shared costs on street improvements and curb improvements. As you can see, there is a wide range of responses. I believe it would be appropriate for staff to do more extensive research concerning shared -cost programs and come back to the Committee with some recommendations. It is clear that more communities are going to the shared cost for these improvements and there should be specific guidelines when the share costs would be utilized. VIII-LIqUOR LICENSE RECLASSIFICATION - MIDWEST LI!2UORS Midwest Liquors, Inc., doing business as Village Inn Pub and Ben's Cut Rate Liquors, currently holds a Class A License under the Village's present Liquor Ordinance. Recent changes to our Ordinance effectively placed a moratorium on Class A Licenses and provided the extinguishment of existing Class A classifications if their status changed. Midwest Liquors, Inc., has submitted an application for the renewal of their License. This present application shows a substantial change in the stock ownership within the corporation. Stock transfer of this magnitude is recognized as a transfer of ownership and would normally cause the deletion of the Class A License. However, there are unique circumstances surrounding the physical and opera- tional characteristics of this establishment which do not lend themselves to a clear-cut resolution. A memorandum by Research Assistant Michael Steklac outlines the policy issues and options involved in this matter. Staff will be, available to answer any questions you may have. As you may recall, several residents of Edgewood Lane attending a Village Board meeting requested relief from standing water problems along their street. At the direction of the Mayor and Board of Trustees, the Village staff met with these individuals to discuss the various options for addressing the current situation. Attached is a memorandum from Public Works Director Herbert Weeks which outlines the history of this area as well as three possible solutions. While the technical approach to resolving the problem is readily apparent; i.e., installation of storm and/or sanitary sewers or full street improvement, the question of paying for this project remains unanswered. There is no funding available in the upcoming 1987-1988 Budget for these improvements. Because this condition existed prior to the annexation of these properties into the Village, it may be appropriate to explore some type of cost sharing. Staff will be available to answer any questions. X. MANAGER'S REPORT Status Reports X.I. ANY OTHER BUSINESS XII.
