Hoefert, Juracek, Korn, Matuszak, Polit, Zadel None OLD BUSINESS Mayor Wilks presented for a second (2nd) reading an ordinance to amend Chapter 18 (Traffic) of the Mount Prospect Village Code. This ordinance implements components of the Village's "Residential Intersection Traffic Control" program and the "Residential Speed Limit" program for Zones 1, 2, 5 and 6. Project Engineer Matt Lawrie presented information the Village Board's discussion of Zone 6 at the February 17th Village Board meeting; (1) intersection traffic control at Highland Avenue and Windsor Drive and (2) whether an agreement between the Village and Matz Funeral Home for cut-through traffic exists. In response to the Village Board's request to re-evaluate staffs recommendation for intersection traffic control at Highland Avenue and Windsor Drive (2-way stop) Mr. Lawrie stated the existing intersection traffic control is inconsistent with the established guidelines of the Neighborhood Traffic study - to be consistent the intersection should either have a stop sign on Windsor Drive only, or if justified, there should be a three way (3) stop. Staff continue to support their recommendation for a 3-way stop at this intersection: · Set back of the existing stop bars (2-way stop) make it difficult to see approaching vehicles when stopped at the intersection. · Added impediment to cut-through traffic (Rand Road to Kensington Road). · Staff do not anticipate any operational traffic issues with 3-Way stop at this intersection; six (6) vehicles could stack along Highland Avenue before reaching Rand Road. With respect to an Agreement between the Village and Matz Funeral Home granting permission to the funeral home to use the streets of the Little Brickman Subdivision as a procession route, Mr. Lawrie stated based on discussions with various Village personnel, it appears there is no agreement, written nor verbal, pertaining to this issue.

VILLAGE MANAGER'S REPORT Village Manager Janonis stated Public Works was requesting approval to accept bid for 2009 Street Resurfacing Program in an amount not to exceed $2,750,000. Project Engineer Joel Michalik provided background information stating this year's project represents the thirteenth (13th) year of the thirteen (13) year extended street improvement program and includes the resurfacing of approximately 6.5 miles of Village streets. As in the past the MFT funded program and the Village's Street Improvement funded program were combined into one project so as to secure an early and more favorable bid. Minutes of the Regular Meeting Page 3 of 5 of the Mayor and Board of Trustees of the Village of Mount Prospect 2009 STREET RESURFACING CONTRACT March 3, 2009 He stated the Village's budget limit for this project is $3,251,000, however, due to a reduction in projected funds from Motor Fuel Tax (MFT) and the Home Rule Sales Tax, the budgeted amounts were reduced; MFT - reduced to $950,000 from $1,260,000 and Street Improvement reduced to $1,800,000 from $1,991,000. Reduced 2009 budget for street resurfacing is $2,750,000. Mr. Michalik stated the low bid of $2,668,896.20 submitted by A Lamp Concrete Contractor's, Inc. is less than the revised budgeted amount. However, as A Lamp's bid is based on estimated quantities which may need to be adjusted during construction, staff recommends A Lamp's bid award be increased to the revised budgeted amount of $2,750,000. Village Manager Janonis commented that even though the 2009 Budget was recently passed, necessary adjustments such as this are being made. In response to a question from the Village Board regarding the availability of MFT funds Village Manager Janonis stated not all MFT are in at this time. Public Works Director Glen Andler stated the funds are received quarterly. Mr. Andler stated MFT funding could be monitored, and if necessary, further reductions could be made to the project; contractor is only paid for work completed. Mr. Michalik also responded to questions from the Village Board regarding: . A Lamp's performance - A Lamp has performed satisfactorily on several Village projects and in other communities. . Estimated quantities - quantities cannot be determined for certain until on-site field inspections are conducted at time of construction. . Cost of Asphalt - fixed price currently $58.00 per ton (no escalator). . Excess funds - if funds remain at the completion of the project, recommended additional streets be resurfaced. . Public Information - list of streets and scheduled work will be part of community education program. . Street program - contract includes two (2) year maintenance bond; concrete should out last bond (driving on concrete before it is ready can have a detrimental affect on concrete; residents encouraged not to drive on driveway apron before it is ready) Additional comments from the Village Board included the cost benefits of early bidding for this project; bid came in below engineer's estimate. As staff already modified the 2009 Street Resurfacing project due to the reduction in MFT funding, the MFT funding program will be scheduled for discussion at an upcoming Committee of the Whole meeting. Trustee Hoefert, seconded by Trustee Zadel, moved for approval to accept bid for 2009 Street Resurfacing Program in an amount not to exceed $2,750,000. Upon roll call: Ayes: Nays: Motion carried.
