MANAGER'S
REPORT:
CHANGE
ORDER
BURNS &
MCDONNELL
VILLAGE MANAGER'S REPORT
Jeff Wulbecker, Village Engineer, presented a Change Order for the engineering services
of Burns & McDonnell. Burns & McDonnell provided documentation to the Federal
Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) advising them that the new floodplain map,
that took effect on November 6, 2000, contained errors. Submitting Letters of Map
Amendment, LOMA, is the process of correcting the original assessment from FEMA.
Through this, the property would be removed from the flood plain and not required to
obtain flood insurance. Additional properties need to be assessed with a potential of 48
additional LOMA applications. The cost associated with these changes would be a
maximum of $22,200. Funds were not budgeted for this expense, however, there are
funds in the Flood Control Program to cover this cost.

BUSINESS
Village Engineer, Jeff Wulbecker provided an update on traffic signals. The signals in the
downtown area were tested on Friday, September 28th but the test failed. Mr. Wulbecker
stated that there was only one problem; unfortunately it was with the main control. The
control cabinet is unable to handle the power load making the lights flash red. They are
currently working with CornEd and IDOT to solve the problems quickly and they hope to
have it resolved in the next two weeks.
ANY OTHER BUSINESS
Trustee Hoefert asked for an update on the Wedgewood Flood control program. It was
suggested at a previous meeting to have the issue of maintance of drainage ditches be
recorded on the titles of the properties so that in the future, owners would be aware that
they are responsible for that maintance. Village Manager, Michael Janonis, stated that
the Village Attorney is working on the situation.
Trustee Hoefert, asked about the shopping cart program and what can be done to make
it work better. Currently there is a grace period in which the store owners/management
can pick up their carts. It was suggested that eliminating the grace period or increasing
fines would help with this issue.
