being setup as a backup SSA in the event future owners of residential units,

N. Agreement with State Industrial Products for Quentin Road and Northwest
Pumping Station Hydrogen Sulfide Reduction Program in the Amount Not-to
Exceed $63,672
Summary: The FY 24 budget includes $63,672 in the Water and Sewer Fund
for the ongoing hydrogen sulfide reduction program, which uses a proprietary
chemical blend on a monthly basis to reduce the formation of sulfuric acid in
sanitary sewers. Village Staff is pleased with the results of previous years’
hydrogen sulfide reduction programs and recommends continuing the annual
program to extend the life of the municipal sanitary sewer system. In August
2015, American Infrastructure Technologies provided the Village with
recommendations to use chemical additives to reduce hydrogen sulfide
formation and reduce the pace of pipe corrosion, which can lead to underground
transmission main collapses similar to the experiences from 2012 and 2015
beneath Cuba Road.
O. Amendment #1 to the Intergovernmental Agreement regarding Development
of the Plan and Agreement to Consolidate Participating Lake County Public
Safety Answering Points
Summary: In 2022, nine police agencies that operate emergency dispatch
centers in Lake County partnered together on a plan to consolidate public
safety answering points into a single Regional Operations Center. The initial
term of this planning agreement was 18 months. Since that time, the
participating agencies have worked to achieve the goals set forth in the
agreement. Because the agreement is approaching the 18-month expiration,
the participating parties seek to extend the term with the attached
amendment. The term of the amended agreement shall be thirty (30) months
from the original effective date of September 1, 2022, making the extension
valid through March 1, 2025.
P. Third Amendment to Communications Site Lease Agreement with SBA
Network Services for 36-month Rent Abatement at Police Department Cell
