Trustee Bob Bachner, Chairperson of the Public Works & Environmental
Concerns Committee reported the following:
The Public Works and Environmental Concerns Committee meet on Feb
14th.
The committee reviewed amending ordinance section 50.039 of the
Village Code to remove the testing for hexavalent chromium. The Village
Code was amended in2019 and it inadvertently was not removed at that
time. Based on review by the EPA, the Village of Lombard is no longer
required to test for it.
Also reviewed was the list of streets and the budget for 2023 Asphalt
Street resurfacing and also the 2023 Concrete roadway program. Both
programs at an estimated cost of $2.7 million.
The backyard drainage program was also reviewed. Recommended
changes to be made were renaming as the Residential Drainage
Program. Among some of the other changes will be a more
resident-friendly program by having staff more involvement with particular
resident issues and providing increased technical assistance to the
property owners along with more of a relationship and engagement with
the contractors. The amount the Village will fund is being raised. The
village will pay 50% of the project up to a maximum of $15,000 after
review and approval of the particular project.
All these items were approved and passed unanimously by the Public
Works Committee.

Village Clerk Liz Brezinski read the following announcements:
With a winter snowstorm expected tomorrow, residents are reminded
that parking on Village streets is not allowed after one inch of snow falls.
Residents and visitors are responsible for removing their vehicles from
the street to create a clear passage for snowplows. This will assist our
Public Works crews work safely and efficiently to keep our streets clear
of snow and ice.
Lombard is recognizing Illinois Severe Weather Preparedness Week
March 6th through March 10th. Tips and safety information can be found

of severe weather and to sign up for weather alerts.
The Village’s next blood drive is scheduled for Wednesday, March 8 from

is safe, simple and saves lives.
Daylight Savings time begins Sunday, March 12th. Don’t forget to
