CALL TO ORDER: 6:00 p.m.
Item 1.1 ROLL CALL
Members Present: Ross Rosenberg ,Andrea Fohne, Tom Vorce, Roy Carney, Jim Ford, Aaron
Hudson
Item 1.2 Approval of Minutes – March 23, 2026.
Motion by Roy Carney, second by Jim Ford to approve the minutes.
All Ayes. Motion carried.
2. Items Requiring Council Action
Item 2.1 Resolution authorizing the Mayor to execute an agreement with HMG Engineers for the
Kyle & Pausch Elevated Tank Improvements in the amount of $165,000.00.
The most recent water tower inspections recommended improvements to the Kyle and Pausch
elevated tanks. These improvements will include paint rehabilitation of the inside and outside of the
water towers along with the installation of a chlorine booster station at the Pausch tower. HMG will
prepare plans and specifications to bid this work as two separate bid packages. They will also
perform construction inspection services along with a third-party contractor during the projects and
be on site.
Council Member Ross Rosenberg inquired what happens to the water in the tower. Staff replied it
would be drained. It still is not one hundred percent determined on what maintenance will need to
be done.
Council member Roy Carney inquired about water pressure during the period when the towers are
out of service. Staff indicated that pressure zones would remain stable and that only one tower
would be taken out of service at a time, not both at the same time.
Motion by Andrea Fohne, second by Jim Ford.
Aye: Ross Rosenberg, Andrea Fohne, Tom Vorce, Roy Carney, Aaron Hudson, Jim Ford.
Final Resolution: All ayes. Motion Carried.
Item 2.2 An Ordinance amending the City of O'Fallon, Chapter 77, Traffic Schedules.
Due to continuous growth within the City of O’Fallon and the ongoing development of existing and
new subdivisions, a review of the stop sign ordinance was conducted. After this comprehensive
review, it has been determined that an amendment of the current ordinance will be required to
Page 3 of 30
Public Works Committee
April 29, 2026
Page 2 of 3
incorporate the addition of numerous streets These amendments will authorize enforcement of the
stop signs in the various subdivisions.
Previously discussed at committee meetings is the location of North Oak Street & West Adams
Street. Public Works and Public Safety did further investigations and discussions regarding the
intersection, and it does warrant a four-way stop. This ordinance therefore authorizes the removal
of the existing yield signs, and the installation of four-way stop signs.
Council member Andrea Fohne inquired if we could use message boards to notify the public of this
significant change to the intersection. Staff responded that message boards could be deployed
along Oak Street in both the northbound and southbound directions to provide advance notice.
Motion by Roy Carney, second by Andrea Fohne.
Aye: Andrea Fohne, Tom Vorce, Roy Carney, Aaron Hudson, Jim Ford, Ross Rosenberg.
Final Resolution: All ayes. Motion Carried.
Item 2.3 Resolution authorizing the Mayor to execute an agreement with Gonzalez Companies,
LLC., for the Bethel Lift Station Replacement and Sewer Modeling project in the amount of
$162,000.00.
This is a continuation of the current agreement with Gonzalez looking at modeling our entire
sanitary sewer system. Last year they were able to install flow meters on the north interceptor, and
we were able to analyze the data. This year they will install the same flow meters on the south
interceptor and will also look at the future capacity needs for the Bethel Lift Station.
Motion by Jim Ford, second by Roy Carney
Aye: Tom Vorce, Roy Carney, Aaron Hudson, Jim Ford, Ross Rosenberg, Andrea Fohne.
Final Resolution: All ayes. Motion Carried.
Item 2.4 Resolution authorizing the Mayor to execute an agreement with The Kilian Corporation for
the Ogle Road Resurfacing in the amount of $80,698.15 based on unit prices.
Kilian Corp has been awarded the IDOT contract to overlay State Street and Obernuefemann
Road with federal funding and using MFT funds. This project is scheduled to begin the day after
Memorial Day. Ogle Road is off Obernuefemann Road where the curve is and goes back to
Hinchliffe. Ogle Road currently has a pavement rating of 50 in the pavement management.
Staff reached out to Kilian to see if they would honor the state contract prices to overlay Ogle
Road. Kilian has agreed to overlay Ogle Road at the same unit prices. The reason it is a resolution
is because we will be utilizing local funds to pay for it. It will be done in conjunction to the
Obernuefemann and State Street job.
Council member Andrea Fohne inquired about the completion date of this project. Staff replied the
first phase of it will be the concrete portion of State Street between Highway 50 & North Green
Mount Road and would be at least three weeks. We will have to close that section down. Message
boards and public notices will go out. The entire month of June for the milling and overlaying
portion in the asphalt areas. Other locations that you will see intermittent closures are the two
roundabouts. State & Obernuefemann and Porter & Simmons. It is very difficult to overlay a
roundabout with traffic using it. It should take one day to mill the and follow up with one day to
pave them. The intent will be to shut them down during the day and have it open in evening, so it

doesn’t impact anyone coming or going from the sports park for events. There will be plenty of
public notice put out regarding it when it occurs. In the contract there are message boards that are
required and we will also put out social media posts regarding it.
Motion by Jim Ford, second by Roy Carney
Aye: Roy Carney, Aaron Hudson, Jim Ford, Ross Rosenberg, Andrea Fohne, Tom Vorce.
Final Resolution: All ayes. Motion Carried.
3. Other Business
One item to share that we just found out about today. Annually there are federal grant programs
put out by East-West Gateway. They are the local planning organization for the St. Louis Region.
We usually submit for a surface transportation program and the congestion mitigation air quality
program. We just received a memo today saying that they are recommending both the projects we
submitted this year.
The first one is a surface transportation program project which is for overlaying Lincoln Avenue
from State Street to Highway 50. The plan would be to do that in conjunction with the future
planned streetscape project. That is a total of $576,000.00 of federal funding. Also, it has been
recommended for approval for our CMAQ project, which is the installation of a roundabout at Old
Collinsville Road & Frontage Road. In total, that is $1,348,279.00 of federal funding.
Next steps in the process are next week it goes to a couple of other committees. There is a St.
Clair County committee that has to recommend it and a full Illinois Transportation committee that
also needs to recommend it. The final step is being voted on and approved by the East-West
Gateway Board. Then being added to the transportation improvement program for the region. Then
we would go through the process of plan development with IDOT, and it administered though
them. Glad to see we were recommended for award and hope to move forward with them.

9. By execution of this AGREEMENT the LPA and ENGINEER certify compliance with the Drug Free Workplace (30 ILCS 580). The
Drug Free Workplace Act requires that no grantee or contractor shall receive a grant or be considered for the purpose of being
awarded a contract for the procurement of any property or service from the DEPARTMENT unless that grantee or contractor will
provide a drug free workplace. False certification or violation of the certification may result in sanctions including, but not limited
to suspension of contract on grant payments, termination of a contract or grant and debarment of the contracting or grant
opportunities with the DEPARTMENT for at least one (1) year but not more than (5) years.
For the purpose of this certification, "grantee" or "Contractor" means a corporation, partnership or an entity with twenty-five (25)
or more employees at the time of issuing the grant or a department, division or other unit thereof, directly responsible for the
specific performance under contract or grant of $5,000 or more from the DEPARTMENT, as defined the Act.
The contractor/grantee certifies and agrees that it will provide a drug free workplace by:
(a) Publishing a statement:
(1) Notifying employees that the unlawful manufacture, distribution, dispensing, possession or use of a
controlled substance, including cannabis, is prohibited in the grantee's or contractor's workplace.
(2) Specifying actions that will be taken against employees for violations of such prohibition.
(3) Notifying the employee that, as a condition of employment on such contract or grant, the employee will:
(a) abide by the terms of the statement; and
(b) notify the employer of any criminal drug statute conviction for a violation occurring in the workplace
no later than (5) days after such conviction.
(b) Establishing a drug free awareness program to inform employees about:
(1) The dangers of drug abuse in the workplace;
Page 4 of 9 BLR 05530 (Rev. 04/23/26)
Page 10 of 30
(2) The grantee's or contractor's policy to maintain a drug free workplace;
(3) Any available drug counseling, rehabilitation and employee assistance program; and
(4) The penalties that may be imposed upon an employee for drug violations.
(c) Providing a copy of the statement required by subparagraph (a) to each employee engaged in the performance of the
contract or grant and to post the statement in a prominent place in the workplace.
(d) Notifying the contracting, or granting agency within ten (10) days after receiving notice under part (b) of paragraph
(3) of subsection (a) above from an employee or otherwise, receiving actual notice of such conviction.
(e) Imposing a sanction on, or requiring the satisfactory participation in a drug abuse assistance or rehabilitation
program.
(f) Assisting employees in selecting a course of action in the event drug counseling, treatment and rehabilitation is
required and indicating that a trained referral team is in place.
Making a good faith effort to continue to maintain a drug free workplace through implementation of the Drug Free Workplace Act,
the ENGINEER and LPA agree to meet the PROJECT SCHEDULE outlined in EXHIBIT 2. Time is of the essence on this project
and the ENGINEER's ability to meet the PROJECT SCHEDULE will be a factor in the LPA selecting the ENGINEER for future
projects. The ENGINEER will submit progress reports with each invoice showing work that was completed during the last
reporting period and work they expect to accomplish during the following period.
10. Due to the physical location of the project, certain work classifications may be subject to the Prevailing Wage Act (820 ILCS
130/0.01 et seq.).
11. For Preliminary Engineering Contracts:
(a) That tracing, plans, specifications, estimates, maps and other documents prepared by the ENGINEER in accordance
with this AGREEMENT shall be delivered to and become the property of the LPA and that basic survey notes,
sketches, charts, CADD files, related electronic files, and other data prepared or obtained in accordance with this
AGREEMENT shall be made available, upon request to the LPA or to the DEPARTMENT, without restriction or
limitation as to their use. Any re-use of these documents without the ENGINEER involvement shall be at the LPA's
sole risk and will not impose liability upon the ENGINEER.
(b) That all reports, plans, estimates and special provisions furnished by the ENGINEER shall conform to the current
Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction, Bureau of Local Roads and Streets Manual or any other
applicable requirements of the DEPARTMENT, it being understood that all such furnished documents shall be
