130064 Amended Alley Maintenance Policy
Staff recommendation to adopt the amended Alley Maintenance
Policy, to include the Alley Improvements in the 2014-2023 CIP for
consideration, and to proceed with the vacation of Alley 16 in
accordance with Village policies and Illinois Statutes. (DISTRICTS -
ALL).
Goldsmith reviewed the memo and recommendations from staff to
amend the Alley Maintenance Program. Goldsmith and Dratnol
reviewed the cost estimates together and agreed that some of the
money from the Asphalt Paving & Patching Program could be
allocated towards an Alley Maintenance & Improvement Program.
Already talked with Waste Management about rerouting their trucks to
curbside and out of the alleys. They are more than happy to do this.
Mahal: do we need to put in the exceptions of the commercial area
alleys? Goldsmith: can change the policy to read the way that we
want it to - can cover this issue. Discussion ensued regarding some of
the specific alleys. Kaforski: need to make sure that access is not cut
off to any businesses and also address what needs to be vacated .
Goldsmith: the two alleys that are already scheduled for repairs are
alley number 1 and alley number 3. Mahal: would like to see us
address all of the alleys at one time. If we are going to update this, I

think that we should make sure that we know what is going on with
each alley on the map. Goldsmith: staff will meet with Community
Development regarding the status and notices that need to go out to
any of the alleys. This is not an Ordinance - this is a Village Board
Policy. Kaforski: so basically what the committee wants is for staff to
come back to the committee and let us know about all of the alleys.
Arnold: do any of the alleys have ComEd lights in them and is this
something that we want to address? Dratnol: number 6 in particular
is a grass area. Goldsmith: will go back and look at the areas that the
committee brought up and address the issues.
(Numbers 6, 13, 15, 16) Will also bring something back regarding
Waste Management changes.

construction. (DISTRICTS #1, #2 & #6)
Dratnol: reviewed the Change Order with the committee members.
Kaforski: was this all of the parkways on both sides? Dratnol: yes.
Mahal: wasn't there an issue with sand also? Goldsmith: yes.
Dratnol: also some drainage issues. Bachner: what was the
protective coating for? Dratnol: helps to protect the pavement,
especially from salt. Bachner: what were the 4 loads rejected for?
Dratnol: contaminated soil. Bachner: why was the bench needed?
Dratnol: to redirect the flow. Mahal: are we making adjustments to
the Phase 2 with the topsoil and sand issues? Dratnol: yes, we are
taking these things into the new contract. Goldsmith: have learned
from the First Phase and applied changes to the Second Phase.

and Sewer Services Inc. in the amount of $4,264.00 due to an
increase in the number of roddings.
Arnold: is there any area that is affected more than others?
Goldsmith: it really is all over - not one specific area. Glazier: do we

Public Works Committee Minutes February 12, 2013
see this becoming a problem every year - 25% over what we
predicted? Goldsmith: not really. Last year and the year before we
were right around the estimated amount.
A motion was made by David Arnold, seconded by Arthur Kuehl, that this
Resolution be discussed and filed . The motion passed by an unanimous vote.
7.0 Other Business
Kaforski: concrete under the viaduct seems to be heaving. Kuehl:
huge pothole on Madison and North Park. Bachner: do we have a
program to address lane markings in town? Goldsmith: right now we
do not - they are addressed when we do projects. Looking at putting
together some sort of program to address signs and lane markings -
trying to get some funding for this type of a program. Kaforski: what
about putting reflectors in the middle so that even if the markings wear
off this is some sort of deliniation? Goldsmith: that is a possibility.
