Motion by Trustee Renucci, second by Trustee Nugent, to approve the consent agenda as presented. Motion carried. Miscellaneous Business 1. Consider approval of Design Proposal for School Street Lift Station DPW Director Equitz said the Village is beginning the process of talking about the design for replacement of the School Street sewage pumping station due to its age (constructed in the 1960s) and its capacity was part of discussions when forming TID 5. Because the lift station is located on a small lot, keeping the current pump running while work is conducted will be challenging. Applied Technologies had submitted a proposal for design and bidding services for the lift station. Katie Hassing, project manager, discussed some of the details of the proposal: • The Village will be moving to a submersible type of pumping station, where the pumping equipment is down in the liquid it is pumping. • The type of building on the site will need to be evaluated (prefabricated or constructed on-site). • Force main piping will be rehabilitated or replaced, as it may need to be upsized to account for future flows. • A 20-year design evaluation will be conducted to consider the flows with future development. • They will work to keep the site looking nice during construction and do what they can to limit the disruption with the project. President Johnson asked about the timing of the project compared to the incoming Overlook Ridge development. Director Equitz said that he could see the design of the project taking place in 2025, with likely construction in 2026. Ms. Hassing said that the lift station construction process could take up to an entire year, but that her understanding was that the current lift station is operating under capacity now, and that should the project take a little longer, there is capacity available. President Johnson inquired if there could be a Committee of the Whole to  EAST TROY VILLAGE BOARD MINUTES March 17, 2025 Page 2 of 3 permit residents to have input on the design of the lift station building, particularly since it is in a public space and its proximity to the Village Square. Director Equitz said that once a conceptual design of the building was done, it could then be determined the best forum for public input. Motion by Trustee Nugent, second by Trustee Holm, to approve the engineering design services and bidding proposal from Applied Technologies for $168,000, to be paid for from the TID 5 funds.
