110722 Second Draft: FY 2012b-FY 2021 Capital Improvement Program
Goldsmith: advised the committee members that there was one correction to the FY
2012b memo. Ware asked Goldsmith to review the memo for this item and highlight
the changes from the First Draft. Discussion ensued regarding Lift Station Rebuild -
Fairview and the Terrace View Pond Pump Station/Pond Modification. Goldsmith:
there is an IGA already set up with the Park District. The quality of the pond is poor,
and the work that we are doing will definitely improve the pond. Goldsmith: I owe the
committee a report on Phillips Court. Reviewed the map with committee members.
Will be giving the committee a memo in February with all of the findings and plans for
this area. Goldsmith: chemical applications to the Village owned Ash trees - most of
this is preventative. Kaforski: is there anything for the trees on private property?
Goldsmith: we can certainly make this type of information available to residents.
Kaforski: put info in the PRIDE and on the website. Committee felt that with the
updates this plan was good to go forward with.

Goldsmith: reviewed the changes to the FY 2013 CIP. We are going to extend the
Roosevelt Road Watermain Project - prices will go up for this. This work needs to be
done. Discussion ensued regarding various street conditions. Goldsmith: proud to
say that this Village is in good shape because of good financial planning . Spoke
about some areas that will possibly be addressed as special assessments. Arnold:
better use of our money to build a new pump station vs. building up the station (Rte.
53 station)? Will we get some credit for taking out the road? Goldsmith: yes. Gave
