PROJ17-066 A Concept Plan for Holiday Inn Express on Lot 2 of Normantown
1 Square
Mr Rockwell reported that Hospitality Guru is proposing the development of
Holiday Inn Express on Lot 2 of Normantown Square. A concept plan was
previously before you on April 5, 2017. Following the concept plan review
and during the process of developing final development plans, a conflict
between the proposed building location and existing watermain and
easements were discovered. As such, a revised site plan was submitted
that shows the building out of the easements and an adequate distance
away from the watermain. In order to accomplish this, the building was
rotated in a way that extends a section of the building further to the south.
The proposed Holiday Inn Express consists of 98 guest rooms and also
features a pool, meeting rooms, fitness center, business center and
breakfast/lounge space. An outdoor patio is proposed on the north side of
the building. A total of 98 parking spaces are proposed.
Mayor Noak stated that he would like to get a site view in relation to the
existing properties. The surrounding properties need to be reached out to.
He would also like to see them address any screening and security
concerns that the daycare may have.
Trustee Chavez asked if they gained or lost parking with this revision and
Mr Rockwell stated that they gained a couple. There are 98 to match the
number of rooms.
Trustee Griffin asked what EIFS was and the response was stucco.
Mayor Noak added that the developer has been very good to work with and
are providing a quality product.

Lift Station Replacement project to Steve Spiess Construction
Inc. in the amount of $1,528,683.00 (2 formal bids were received).
This Resolution was Removed From Consideration.
RES17-2333 A Resolution to Waive the Bid Process and Accept the Proposal
from Metropolitan Industries for the Upgrade of Public Works’
SCADA System
Mr Bjork reported that Metropolitan Industries currently provides the
SCADA system for Public Works' water and sewer facility operations. This
system monitors and controls the pumping and treatment processes and
communicates functioning status with the operators. Metropolitan is
upgrading their current system. With ever increasing security risks and the
need to protect vital public services and their operating and distribution
systems from hacking and to provide reliable delivery of those services to
the greatest extent possible, the upgrade is necessary for the Department.
Mayor Noak stated that this is the wastewater side. He asked if there is a
manual override and the response was yes.
Trustee Chavez asked how long have we had the current one and the
response was that we have had it for many years with upgrades along the
way. This is moving to a Cloud based system.
RES17-2334 A Resolution to Waive the Bid Process and Accept the Price
Quote from Metropolitan Industries for the Replacement of a Raw
Sewage Influent Pump
Mr Bjork reported that the wastewater treatment facility utilizes four pumps
to pump the raw sewage influent from the sanitary sewers for treatment and
processing. These pumps are the original pumps from the wastewater
treatment facility consolidation ten years ago. One of the pumps failed last
year, and monies were allocated in this year's budget for the replacement
of the pump. Metropolitan Industries has provided us with very reliable
products and excellent service over the years and has provided and
installed all of our pumps in the past. The price quote was $53,150 to
replace this failed pump.
Mayor Noak asked what the volume is that we are talking about and the
response was 7 million gallons a day. Mr Bjork added that later this year
we will be before the Board for a new screening system that will help to
reduce the wear and tear on these pumps.
Trustee Clancy stated that he is glad we are shopping locally. Mr Bjork
stated that this is a benefit to us that they are local.

RES17-2336 A Resolution To Approve A Proposal From Wight & Company For
Design Through Construction Administration Professional
Services For The Redevelopment Of Malibu Bay Park
Ms. Rajzer reported that Mailbu Bay Park is now over 19 years old and has
become unsafe. Repairs are difficult due to obsolete parts. Some of the
playground attractions allow obscurity and patrons hang out after dark and
vandalism has occurred. The renovation will provide for new amenities
including a shelter. This approval is for the conceptual and schematic
design phase. Once we have the construction cost estimates, we will
come back before the Board for final approval.
Mayor Noak stated that this is a great project.
RES17-2330 A Resolution Waiving Public Bidding Requirements to enter into a
contract with Garage Floor Coating of Chicago IL., LLC, for
Resurfacing of Apparatus Floor at Station 2
Mr Adams reported that the Fire Department is requesting to waive the
bidding process and enter into a contract with Garage Floor Coating of
Chicago, LLC to resurface the apparatus floor at Station 2. Three price
quotes were received. The total cost will be $24,750.
Mayor Noak asked if we used this company before and the response was
no, but we were impressed with this vendor and their work.
Trustee Clancy asked if this is a non slip product and the response was
yes.
RES17-2337 A Resolution Waiving the Public Bidding Process and
Authorizing a Contract with Dewberry for Professional Services
Deer Crossing Park Restrooms/Concession Stand
Mrs Caldwell reported that the Board has approved funds to add restroom
and concession space at Deer Crossing Park. Although there was a
contract passed in 2011 authorizing Dewberry to complete the architectural
drawings, the new contract will include civil engineering.
RES17-2338 A Resolution Amending the Romeoville Reinvestment Program
(Res. 16-2097)
Mrs Caldwell reported that the Reinvestment Program has been successful
in encouraging home improvements. Staff is requesting to expand the
program to include incentives for tear down/rebuild and to include the entire
community. We hope that this will encourage tear down and
redevelopment of some of the vacant/foreclosed homes. We are
recommending that the maximum building permit fee be $3,000.
Village of Romeoville Page 3 Printed on 8/8/2017
Village Board - Workshop Meeting Meeting Minutes June 21, 2017
Mayor Noak stated that this is to further encourage reinvestment.
Trustee Chavez stated that this is a great idea. Trustee Chavez asked if
they want to change the foundation does this increase the fees and the
response was no. Mr Gulden added that we will be waiving demolition
permit fees, school and library impact fees, water/sewer tap on fees and
park fees as many of these fees would have already been paid when the
home was originally constructed. Trustee Chavez asked if room additions
are qualified and the response was yes, that was already addressed in the
original program. He then asked how many tear downs have been done in
the Village and the response was about a half of a dozen.
RES17-2339 A Resolution Waiving the Public Bidding Process and Authorizing
a Contract with CDW for Microsoft Licensing
Mrs Caldwell reported that each year we strive to enhance our technology
to provide more effectiveness and efficiency for the employees and better
service to the residents. This year we are asking the Board to waive the
bids and authorize a contract with CDW for our three year renewal for
Microsoft licensing. Changes this year include upgrades to the cloud
based Office 365 as well as added security features. CDW was the lowest
of two proposals that were received.
Mayor Noak stated that electronic security is worth the investment.
ORD17-1382 An Ordinance Creating Chapter 42A—Administrative Adjudication
and Review of the Village Code of Ordinances
Mr Vogel reported that this creates a new Chapter 42A of the Village Code
of Ordinances and establishes a system of administrative adjudication
within the Village. Administrative adjudication is a means for the Village to
potentially handle certain ordinance violations through its own hearing
process, in lieu of filing traditional ordinance violation complaints in court.
At the present time, the only matters that are proposed to be heard and
adjudicated under Chapter 42A will be hearings to decide whether or not a
vehicle was lawfully impounded. Recently, an amendment to the Illinois
Vehicle Code was made and that is what is prompting this.
Mayor Noak stated that we had been discussing this even before the
amendment was made.
ORD17-1383 An Ordinance Amending Chapter 81.20 et. seq. (Motor Vehicle
Towing) of the Village Code of Ordinances
Mr Vogel reported that this amends Chapter 81 to implement the notice
and hearing requirements for impounded vehicles created by recent
amendment to the Illinois Vehicle Code. This is a companion piece to the
Village of Romeoville Page 4 Printed on 8/8/2017
Village Board - Workshop Meeting Meeting Minutes June 21, 2017
prior item.
ORD17-1385 An Ordinance Revising Chapter 76 (Loads; Permits) of the Village
Code of Ordinances
Mr Vogel reported that this revises the provisions of Chapter 76 to
streamline the regulations applicable to over dimension and overweight
vehicles and to simplify the permitting process for issuing permits to
eligible overweight and over dimension vehicles. The ordinance also
updates the map and designation of truck routes within the Village; permits
issued to over dimension or overweight vehicles are only valid on
designated truck routes and do not authorize travel on non designated
routes. This also provides for a system of fines for violations of Chapter
76. Fines are doubled under the ordinance for violations occurring with the
specifically regulated or prohibited areas.
Mayor Noak stated that staff has worked quite some time on this. This is
not an easy topic.
Trustee Clancy asked if they are permitted to go on Route 53, will they
need a separate permit to hit our streets and the response was yes, an
IDOT permit for Route 53 and a permit from the Village if they will travel on
Village streets. Mr Gulden added that we were getting a lot of trucks
coming down Phelps per IDOT's direction. That was the impetus behind
this ordinance.
ORD17-1386 An Ordinance Amending Chapter 43 of the Village Code of
Ordinances (Fee Schedule)-Police Department Fees
Mr Vogel reported that this establishes a schedule of permit fees for
overweight and over dimension permits issued under Chapter 76. This is a
companion piece to the prior ordinance.
ORD17-1387 An Ordinance Amending Chapter 42 of the Village Code of
Ordinances (Administrative Warning Tickets)—Adding Violations
of Section 91.30—Unlawful Displays of Fireworks--to Appendix to
Chapter 42
Mr Vogel reported that the proposed ordinance amends the Appendix to
Chapter 42 to add unlawful fireworks and sky lantern displays to the list of
violations for which the Police Department can issue an AWT.
