A
Good
evening
we're
going
to
get
started.
This
is
the
regular
meeting
of
the
administration
and
Public
Works
Committee
for
January
26
2015
we
have
a
quorum.
Could
we
please
have
a
motion
to
approve
the
minutes
of
January
12
and
that's
it's
been
moved
in
second:
are
there
any
additions,
corrections
deletions,
if
not
all,
in
favor
aye
any
opposed?
A
A
Changing
it
up,
this
is
my
last
night
to
chair.
We
missed
the
risky
would
like
to
speak
on
two
items
and
we
have
another
speaker
who
also
wants
to
speak
on
one
item:
I'm
going
to
do
the
two
items.
Now
that's
a
4
and
a
eight
that
he
wants
to
speak
on
and
then,
when
we
get
to
the
item
for
discussion,
then
we'll
have
you
come
back
and
the
other
two
speakers
will
speak
there.
Okay,
so
I
missed
risky.
You
want
to
give
your
name.
C
Jennette
risky
up
what
I'm
going
to
speak
on
them
since
the
chance
change
this
a
little
on
the
what
I
see
here
is
something
very
interesting,
and
that
is
when
these
items
come
up.
The
Northwest
Water
Commission
has
to
pay
for
some
of
these
items
and
an
X
on
two
of
the
items
that
interest
me.
First,
there's
this
item
the
change
order
for
the
48
inch
diameter
pipe.
Well,
if
the
Northwest
Water
Commission
is
paying
for
this
as
you
as
you
understand,
if
that
we
have
a
payment
that
has
to
be
made.
C
A
A
It's
been
moved
in
second,
all
in
favor,
any
opposed
for
our
bills
for
the
funding
year,
2014
bills
through
the
January
27
2015
is
1
million
one
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
five
hundred
and
eighty-six
thousand
73
cents
and
for
funding
year
2015
through
January
27th
is
two
hundred
and
fifty
two
thousand
six
hundred
and
six
dollars
and
twenty-five
cents,
/
provo
it's
been
moved
and
seconded.
We
also
had
questions
on
the
bills
list
which
was
emailed
out
as
well
as
you
have
our
copies
in
front
of
you.
A
E
Evening,
madam
chair
members
of
the
committee
I
apologize
alderman
rainy
when
I
did
the
research
on
this
and
pulled
the
contract,
it
had
a
description
of
the
artwork
but
no
picture,
even
though
it
did
reference
it.
So
we
were
still
looking
for
that
the
artwork
itself,
but
it
was
not
in
the
signed
contract
that
I
had
that
I
used
when
doing
the
research
today.
If
I
can
find
that
picture,
it
should
be
multiple
pictures
of
what
the
based
on
the
it's
I'm.
Sorry,
it's
at
site
and
effect
or
sound
in
effect,
yeah.
F
It's
a
it's
multiple,
panes
of
glass,
with
with
light
on
the
elevator,
so
it's
not
just
one
particular
piece,
but
it's
sort
of
an
installation
of
sorts.
There
was
an
opportunity
for
the
council.
Oh
maybe
a
year
and
a
half
ago
before
we
started
the
process
to
kind
of
go,
take
a
site
visit
to
to
see
with
the
public
art
committee.
We
can
take
photographs
of
it.
D
F
D
F
D
D
A
G
B
D
Yeah
I
guess
I'm
the
only
one
who
doesn't
know
stuff
I
tried
to
look
and
see
what
PA
el
stood
for
him.
Does
anybody
on
the
council
know
oops
I?
Guess
not.
Could
you
tell
us
what
it
stands
for
not
once
I
I,
don't
think
it
was
mentioned.
H
D
B
D
B
A
Been
moved
in
second
I,
see
no
lights,
all
in
favor,
all
right.
D
I
I
Alderman
Grover,
madam
chair
I,
move
a
3
point
4,
which
is
our
approval
of
this.
The
solid
waste
agency
of
northern
Cook,
County
Swank's
disposal
fees
for
fiscal
year
2015
and
not
to
exceed
amounts
of
sixty
thousand
dollars
for
Swank's
capital
costs,
800
thousand
dollars
for
its
operations
and
maintenance
and
twenty
thousand
dollars
for
our
recycling
transfer
fees
is.
D
I'm
just
wondering
do
we
ever
do
an
audit
of
these
costs?
I
know
that
sometimes
our
our
waste
is
less
than
what
we've
paid
for
and
they
do
approve
up
or
true
up,
but
I'm
just
wondering
in
general:
do
the
communities
involved
ever
ever?
Take
a
look
at
the
numbers
here.
We've
had
a
few
little
issues
as
swing
and
just
my
on
during,
if
that
ever
happens,
I.
D
J
I'm,
not
sure
it
is,
is
transferred
and
it
goes
to
Wisconsin
somewhere
in
Wisconsin
for
land
filling
for
the
for
the
garbage.
We
do
perform
internal
audits,
we
actually
go.
We
visit
the
transfer
station
and
monitor
our
trucks.
The
the
you
know.
We
get
a
very
detailed
description
and
weights
that
come
back
for
each
one
of
our
trucks
and
we
actually
do
perform
audits
to
make
sure
that
you
know
we're
being
charged
properly.
J
J
J
Each
year,
when
the
the
budget
is
is
put
together
and
we're
paying
off
bonds
from
previous
improvements,
which
it's
my
understanding,
we
only
have
a
few
few
more
years
to
pay.
That's
why
that
number
has
gone
down
dramatically
over
the
years,
so
they
don't
make
any
capital
improvements
without
the
board
approval,
which
the
mayor
is
our
representative,
and
while
he
is
the
alternate
so-
and
we
have
a
say
in
any
type
of
improvements
that
they
make.
K
I
On
the
Swank's
website
and
they
do
produce
and
publish
on
their
website
all
kinds
of
financial
reports,
budgets,
bond
issues
and
annual
auditors
reports
and
reports
and
auditors
reports.
So
the
information
is
publicly
available.
I
assume
it's.
It
would
be
easy
enough
for
somebody
from
our
staff
to
just
take
a
look,
but.
D
E
One
other
point:
the
current
executive
director
Dave
Van
Horn,
is
a
former
public
works
director
of
Naperville
he's
very
versed
in
speaking
to
City
Council's.
If
it's
the
wish
of
the
counsel
for
mr.
Van
Horn
to
come
and
give
a
short
presentation
about
the
capital
and
operating
costs,
we
could
put
that
on
a
future
agenda
that
is
part
of
his
duties
to
us.
As
a
member
of
swank,
wait.
J
D
Do
you
remember
or
is
there
anybody
here
who
remembers
when
there
was
the
baleful
issue
where
our
recycling
or
our
garbage
was
going
to
be
taken
to
wheeling
and
bailed
and
then
taken
to
Bartlett
and
Bartlett
sued
swank
for
millions
and
millions
of
dollars,
and
we
and
swank
lost
and
Bartlett
one?
No.
K
A
With
the
committee
like
to
have
mr.
been
met,
mr.
been
born,
come
in
and
do
a
short
presentation,
so
we
can
understand
better
how
I
guess
the
budget
works
and
what
the
monies
that
we
are
paying
are
being
spent
for
and
how
their
spirit
I
think
that's
just
what
all
the
Marine
is
asking.
If
so,
then,
who
direct
Aloha
Mike.
D
A
Okay,
so
we
moved
to
the
second
all
in
favor
any
opposed.
Oh,
that
was
that
was
you
right
ultimate
Grover?
Okay,
so
then
it's
me
a
3.5
approval
of
the
renewal
of
the
service
providers.
Agreement
with
presence,
behavioral
health
staff
recommends
at
the
city
authorize
the
city
manager
to
renew
the
service
providers,
agreement
with
private
presence,
health
for
the
provision
of
24-hour
crisis
lion,
assess
a
mental
health
crisis
intervention
and
various
community
outreach
and
educational
services
at
a
cost
of
70,
3333
dollars
and
thirty-three
cents.
A
F
Care
album,
Wraith,
wave
members
of
the
committee
director,
thomas
smith,
is
home
ill
this
evening,
so
I
think
I
am
probably
it
in
a
nutshell.
The
relationship
is
going
extraordinarily
well.
This
is
something
that's
primarily
used
by
our
first
responders
police
and
fire.
We've
worked
close
with
presents
to
make
sure
that
our
police
and
fire
folks
have
the
access
to
the
information
that
they
need.
Admittedly,
it
was
sort
of
a
slow
start
with
this,
but
in
the
last
year
it's
been
a
very
close
relationship.
We
feel
very
good
about
this.
F
F
But
it's
been
a
very,
very
good
relationship,
we're
very
pleased.
It
really
was
a
missing
component.
If
you
recall
when,
when
the
staff
brought
this
issue
to
a
couple
of
years
ago,
it
was
actually
presents
who
saw
the
news
reports
that
came
forward
instead
of
the
work
they
had
done
with
many
area
towns,
but
we're
never
never
able
to
really
get
evanston
interested
and
from
that
came
this
agreement
and
has
been
very
successful.
They
did
an
excellent
job.
D
D
G
Come
forward
that
was
one
of
the
things
that
I
had
identified
is
that
would
be
confusing
in
the
packet
of
the
owners
and
staff
yeah.
It's
confusing
and
the
owners
met
with
staff
and
I
think
she's
here,
and
she
can
tell
you
that
moving
forward
I
think
they're
moving
forward
with
staffs
recommendation.
Alderman
raining.
L
Okay,
good
evening
chair
homes
or
the
administration
of
Works
Committee
Johanna
night
and
economic
development,
we've
been
working
with
Oliver
Braithwaite
and
the
owners
of
chicken
and
waffles
to
modify
their
loan.
Their
projections
weren't
what
they
anticipated,
but
it
is
alone
they
are
able
to
make
payments.
So
we've
adjusted.
We
work
with
them
to
adjust
the
proposed
amortization
schedule
so
that
it
would
amortize
over
a
longer
period
of
time,
which
would
reduce
their
monthly
payment.
But
this
is
a
loan.
L
We
kept
the
general
terms
and
interest
rate
the
same
as
what
was
originally
presented
to
the
Economic
Development
Committee,
and
this
that
these
are
comparable
to
what
we
already
have
with
our
other
loans.
So
we
wanted
to
try
to
keep
the
modification
as
close
to
our
existing
loans
that
we
have
with
other
businesses.
So
we
wouldn't
have
a
line
out
the
door
for
people
who
want
to
come
and
modify
their
loans.
We.
A
D
K
A
A
A
Okay,
a8
ordinance,
149
dash
0
dash

amending
a
water
supply
contract
with
the
Northwest
Commission
Northwest
Water
Commission
staff
recommend
City
Council
adoption
of
ordnance,
149
Oh
dash

authorizing
the
city
manager,
execute
amendment
number
22,
the
amended
and
restated
water
supply
contract
between
Northwest
Water
Commission
and
the
city
of
Evanston.
The
proposed
amendment
provides
the
language
that
would
allow
evenson
to
feed
to
chemicals
directly
into
the
Commission's
pipeline
list
of
introduction.
A
It's
been
moved
in
second,
seeing
no
lights.
B
A
Opposed:
okay,
a
mm-hmm,
a
nine
right.
G
B
D
A
The
movements
it's
been
moved
in
saying
about
all
the
marine
is
there
I
see
no
lights
all
in
favor
aye
any
opposed.
Okay
11
on
the
new
growver,
not
Oliver,
Reed.
B
I
This
item
stayed
with
us
from
our
meeting
two
weeks
ago,
I
believe
so
I
will,
for
the
purpose
of
discussion,
move
ordinance,
1090
14,
adding
title
3
chapter
31
regarding
transportation,
network
providers,
regulation
of
transportation
network
providers
such
as
uber
sidecar
and
lyft
okay.
I
thought
it
was
held
two
weeks
ago
by
us
for
further
discussion
right.
A
D
Just
wanted
to
say
very
briefly
that
I
thought
our
staff
did
an
excellent
job
of
taking
the
conversation
and
bringing
it
to
this
memo.
I
I
thought
it
reflected
those
who
had
some
interest
in
regulation
and
those
who
were
concerned
and
I
think
the
option
that
we're
being
given
here
that
I'm
being
given
at
least
I,
see
a
way
I
can
support
something
in
here,
and
that
is
the
staff.
D
F
Chair
members
of
the
committee-
and
I
would
like
to
thank
mr.
Ferrara
for
his
my
work
on
this
we've
been
following.
As
you
know,
these
issues
for
the
last
several
months.
Interestingly
enough,
the
evening
that
the
council
last
spoke
on
this
issue,
the
governor,
as
he
was
leaving
office,
signed
a
bill
which
provides
some
state
regulation
of
these
share
transport
operations.
Mr.
F
farrar
and
I,
based
on
the
discussion
that
the
council
had
really
feel
that,
while
those
ordinance
certainly
has
merit
this
before
you
and
is
working
well
in
the
city
of
Chicago,
our
sense
was
that
the
Evanston
City
Council
wanted
to
go
in
a
slightly
different
direction.
So
our
recommendation
would
be
to
consider
directing
us
to
prepare
an
appropriate
resolution
that
would
state
that
the
city
of
Evanston
wishes
to
have
the
state
of
Illinois
and
those
laws
govern
these
activities
and
we'll
see
how
that
works.
And
if
businesses
come
here,
we
will.
F
If
the
resolution
were
to
pass,
we
will
make
sure
those
businesses
have
the
appropriate
licensing
and
requirements
with
the
state
of
Illinois.
And
if
that's
the
case,
we
would
take
no
further
action
in
Evanston
and
we
would
let
that
see
how
that
works
for
a
while
and
if
there's
a
need
to
come
back
to
you.
We
would,
but
we
do
feel
would
be
important
to
have
the
council,
through
a
resolution
taking
action
indicating
that
it's
the
state
law
that
you're
looking
to
rather
than
creating
local
ordinance
right
I,
have.
B
F
A
My
motion:
that's
the
motion.
It's
been
moved
in
second
arm
no
lights,
all
in
favor,
aye,
okay,
and
so
we
will
move
ahead
with
that.
All
right.
Oh
we
have
items
for
discussion.
First
is
a
AP
and
AP
w
one,
which
is
a
multifamily
recycling
pilot
and
I,
am
suming
we're
having
a
presentation.
Are
we
having
a
presentation
on
that
or
no.
J
Good
evening
chair
homes
and
the
rest
of
the
administration
on
Public
Works,
Committee,
I'm,
Susan
Robinson,
the
Director
of
Public,
Works
and
I,
have
a
proposal
for
you
tonight
to
consider
our
multifamily
our
recycling
pilot,
so
I'm
going
to
go
over
our
current
recycling
operations.
The
proposed
a
pilot
area,
some
benefits,
we
think
and
the
next
steps
for
the
program.
If
you
approve
it
so
currently,
I
recycling
operations
consists
of
residential
recycling.
J
We
have
eight
equipment,
operators,
eight
recycling
trucks
and
we
have
a
special
pickup,
refuse
collection,
operation,
business,
district
parking,
lot
of
recycling
and
business
district
I'm
parking
lot
and
Parks
refuse
collection.
So
we
have
a
total
of
nine
full-time
people
in
the
enlarger
trucks
and
we
have
two
additional
personnel
in
the
business
district
in
parks.
And
then
we
have
one
floater,
employee,
employee
that
fills
in
for
vacations
and
then
we
use
supplemental
seasonal
employees
during
heavier
a
trash
periods
over
the
summer
and
the
holidays.
J
J
J
We
had
a
little
bit
of
a
jump
between
2010
and
2011
when
we
expanded
our
cycling
collection
to
include
the
business
districts
and
the
the
parks
and
then
now
we've
seemed
to
have
hit
another
plateau
as
well.
So
we
really
want
to
look
at
ways
where
we
can
re-energize
and
and
increase
the
the
recycling
rates
within
the
community
and
one
of
the
areas
that
we
think
we
can
do.
That
is
with
multifamily
expanding
our
recycling
to
include
multifamily
units.
J
We
get
a
lot
of
requests
from
students,
as
well
as
other
businesses
that
either
don't
have
sufficient
recycling
opportunities
because
the
the
ordinance
provides
for
1,
395,
gallon
container
per
multifamily
building
and
that's
not
sufficient,
and
in
some
cases
that
container
does
not
exist
so
or
it
gets
converted
and
used
as
a
garbage
cart.
So
you
also
have
people
that
really
are
interested
in
recycling
that
don't
have
the
capacity
that
are
using
recycling
containers
for
some
single-family
households
in
an
effort
to
recycle.
J
So
at
this
fall,
we
did
a
small,
a
pilot
using
some
some
some
multifamily
buildings,
and
it
really
resulted
in
diverting
more
recycling
and
in
a
lot
of
cases,
those
buildings
actually
save
money,
meaning
that
or
they
or
they
broke.
Even
so,
we
talked
to
the
the
businesses,
I
mean
the
buildings
and
what
we
did
was
share
with
them.
J
J
So
to
expand
it
we're
proposing
that
we
have
established
to
pilot
areas,
so
we
want
to
take
the
Monday
and
Wednesday
all
the
multifamily
units
that
fall
within
those
transfer
out
areas
to
offer
multifamily
recycling.
So
our
in-house
crews
that
are
already
picking
up
the
the
residential
homes
in
those
areas
would
also
pick
up
the
multifamily
buildings.
J
J
So
some
of
the
environmental
benefits
when
I
presented
the
information
in
September
of
2014.
It
shows
you
what
our
diversion
rates
are
for
the
commercial
and
multi-family
units
and
it's
much
less
than
the
residential
rate.
The
residential
rate
we're
running
at
about
thirty
percent
diversion
and
the
commercial
rate
is
about
nine
percent.
J
So
we
want
to
be
able
to
to
increase
that.
We
asked
council
to
approve
ago
back
in
September
of
2014
of
trying
to
achieve
a
diversion
rate
for
multifamily
and
commercial
of
thirty
percent,
and
we
think
this
pilot
will
help
us
at
least
raise
the
multifamily
component
to
thirty
percent.
We
think
we'll
achieve
that
before
2020.
J
Another
other
environmental
benefits
are
not
only
just
increasing
the
the
recycling
by
4,000
tons
a
year
that
equivalent
the
equivalency
of
reducing
emissions
up
by
a
thousand
homes
per
year.
We
think
this
will
also
support
our
rodent
management
efforts.
If
we're
able
to
convert
more
of
the
garbage
into
recycling,
then
there's
less
garbage
fewer
containers
that
are
overflowing
with
garbage
and
then
it
will
also
create
equitable
recycling
services
for
all
residents,
because
we
get
a
lot
of
requests
for
for
multifamily
recycling
the
financial
benefit.
J
If
the
multifamily
units
are
assessed
a
per
month
per
unit
per
month,
sanitation
service
charge
and
I've
showed
you
what
that
would
look
like
so
right
now,
single-family
homes
pay
1795
per
unit
a
per
month,
condominiums
pay
795,
so
I've.
Given
you
some
potential
multifamily
sanitation
service
charge
amounts
based
on
the
total
number
of
units,
and
we
can
generate
anywhere
from
400,000
to
seven
hundred
thousand
dollars
and
the
proposed
sanitation
service
charge
for
multi
families
is
so
much
less
than
the
other.
J
So
our
next
steps
would
be
to
run
the
pilot
from
it's
actually
going
to
be
February
15th,
as
opposed
instead
of
February
first
to
October,
thirty-first
and
live
will
be
at
no
charge
to
the
multifamily
properties
within
that
monday
and
wednesday
route.
We
would
notify
the
multifamily
unit
owners
that
this
is
a
mandatory
pilot,
so
we're
up.
We
would
provide
containers
for
every
single
building
and
that
container
will
consist
of
either
the
roll-off
cart
or
a
dumpster,
depending
on
what
was
needed
and
how
much
space
is
available.
K
J
D
Go
to
meet
with
the
people
who
live
in
the
building
and
I,
I
would
suggest
a
postcard,
like
you,
send
out
for
neighborhood
meetings
to
every
single
resident
in
every
single
building
that
we're
going
to
serve
because
it'll
be
a
new
thing
and
then
I
would
just
plaster
the
containers
with
you
know.
This
is
not
a
garbage
can
because
there's
just
no
point
in
screwing
it
up
from
the
beginning.
Let's
I
mean
I
think
there's
going
to
be
fabulous
participation.
If
we
let
people
know
how
to
participate.
D
J
And
just
so,
you
know
it's
kind
of
hard
to
see
for
the
the
labels,
but
on
the
top,
the
label
on
the
top
is
actually
what
goes
in
a
container.
That's
the
label
that's
inside
and
then
on
the
front
of
the
container
on
the
back
of
the
container.
We
have
recycling
only
and
it
says
no
refuse
or
plastic
no
garbage
or
plastic
bags
so
that
people
understand
that
it's
just
for
recycle.
That's.
D
Out
there
is
yeah
Lee,
but
yes
is
that
a
black
can?
Yes,
it
is,
it's
not
gonna,
be
a
blue.
Can
like
everybody
else
and
out
there
I
think
that's
crazy.
I
mean
everybody,
has
blue
Kane
right
and
now
we're
going
to
introduce
another
piece
that
doesn't
quite
fit
in
the
puzzle.
I,
you
know,
I
think,
is
this
a
can
from
the
yard
over
at
the
recycling
yep.
J
D
I
Alderman
rainy
says
we
are
creating
new
recyclers.
Now
they
may
not
have
the
have
had
the
opportunity
to
recycle
ever.
There
may
be,
as
you
suggest,
a
whole
lot
of
people
who
really
want
to
be
able
to
recycle,
but
then
we
have
a
whole
lot
of
residents
who,
maybe
because
it
hasn't
been
available,
don't
know
how
to
recycle
instead,
it'll
be
a
little
bit
of
a
learning
curve
for
them.
But
I
really
like
your
approach,
director
Robbins,
which
is
to
start
with
a
small
pilot
test.
I
Its
success
in
our
capacity
expand
this
pilot
to
what
amounts
to
probably
half
of
our
real
estate
in
evanston
and
test
our
capacity
for
taking
on
even
more
recycling,
but
at
the
same
time
it
addresses
this
demand
for
recycling
and
bring
so
many
more
people
up
to
speed
on
what
our
recycling
efforts
are.
So
I
think
it's
a
really
really
pragmatic
approach
to
how
to
increase
our
diversion
rates.
It
also
makes
me
wonder
if
we're
recycling
a
little
more
than
9,000
tons
a
year.
I
I
M
K
J
A
Egmore-
and
I
know
I
have
your
light,
but
just
before
that,
I
want
to
lose
your
point
on
the
education
piece
in
terms
of
neighborhood
meetings,
and
I
think
that
that
is
a
way
that
we
could
assist
as
the
ottoman
by
having
some
of
these
meetings
for
these
educational
sessions
to
help
people
maybe
even
work
something
out
with
the
school,
some
kind
of
little
contest
or
something
that
would
you
know,
be
interesting
to
get
people
more
interested
in
recycling.
Okay,.
J
Well,
we
do
have
some
ideas:
Katherine
and
I
have
been
been
talking.
So
what
we
want
to
kind
of
collect
this
data
and
when
we
come
back,
we
plan
to
roll
out
some
some
incentives
that
we
think
what
would
even
increase
the
the
recycling
for,
even
though
the
single-family
homes,
not
just
for
multifamily.
So
we
do
have
some
ideas
that
we've
already
started
to
talk
about
great
I'll.
A
K
D
D
D
You
page
pay
hugely
for
more
than
that,
and
you
know,
and
that
I
don't
know
how
many
years
we've
been
recycling,
but
that
is
not
uncommon
in
many
communities
now
so,
and
also
I
always
thought
that
the
ordinance
we
passed
for
recycling
required
recycling.
It
evidently
is
a
voluntary
program
and
at
some
point
we
probably
should
require
it.
D
J
J
When
we
passed
the
the
franchise
we
went
back
and
made
a
modification
and
required
that
the
95
gallon
recycling
container
is
required
for
the
multifamily
unit
of
buildings.
195
gallon
is
required,
so
they
have
to
have
that
as
a
minimum,
and
that
was
done
because
we
received
complaints
from
some
of
the
apartment
dwellers
that
their
management
wouldn't
provide
the
recycling
container.
They
wanted
to
recycle.
So.
A
We
have
now
APW
to
and
we
have
two
speakers.
This
is
a
excuse-
me
treated
water
storage
report,
mr.
risky
and
mr.
Lennon.
C
Just
want
to
make
a
comment
really
on
the
last
item.
It
might
be
quite
reasonable
to
what
we're
going
to
talk
about
now
when
we
do
things
here,
I'm
really
interested
in
how
we
do
these
financials,
because
we're
the
way
I
understood
the
last
item.
Is
it
wasn't
going
to
cost
us
anything
to
do
this
pilot
am
I
wrong
and
what
I
heard
anyone
but
I?
C
It
doesn't
make
sense,
but
because
I
remember
the
yard
waste
stickers.
When
we
said
we
would
sell
nine
hundred
thousand
dollars
of
stickers
and
we
sold
300.
So
that's
really
what
I'm
I
really
you
know
this
with
this
water
reservoir
I
think
what
Troy
has
been
proudly
now
we
come
to
a
point:
where
appears
the
Northwest
Water
Commission
will
pay
ninety-one
percent
of
this
cost
of
this
item.
C
That
will
be
very
interesting,
so
I
think
the
council
needs
to
be
real
sure
that
what
we're
doing
here
is
because
we
don't
seem
to
have
a
financial
handle
on
some
of
this
stuff,
how
we're
dealing
with
it
and
I.
This
is
what
concerns
me,
because
it'd
be
a
very
big
surprise,
because
this,
if
they
don't
pay,
this
will
be
a
twenty
percent
water
bill
increase
immediately.
C
So
so
something
I
think
it's
very
important
that
this
has
to
be
understood.
Also
I
was
at
least
I
had
to
say.
I
was
pleased
that
in
the
memo
they
said,
northwestern
will
pay.
If
they
move
the
tank
northwestern
will
pay
it
on
dollars.
Of
course,
if
we
go
in
design
and
northwestern
hasn't
agreed
to
pay,
then
that
will
be
an
interesting
thing
too.
So
we
need
to
be
asking
the
question.
You
know
up
front.
Will
North?
C
The
financials
hear
very
well
to
us,
and
it
troubles
me
as
I
said
reason.
My
other
comment
that
the
Northwest
water
Commission's
should
be
paying
for
some
of
this
stuff.
Obviously
it
sounds
like
so
Wyatt
every
time
we
get
a
presentation
here
for
an
item
at
the
water
plant.
Why
aren't
we
being
told
how
much
the
Northwest
Water
Commission
was
paying,
and
you
know
for
the
item
and
then
we've
had
these
40-foot
we've
had
almost
si
an
effective
forty-four
percent
water
bill
increase.
C
Well,
that
would
account
for
all
the
pipe
under
the
street
here
by
any
means,
and
the
other
thing
I
would
say,
as
I
said
in
my
other
comment
is
time
here
is
his
money.
There
have
been
projects
here
that
keep
on
going
beyond
time
and
the
skater
project
was
one
that
was
a
project
in
the
plant.
So
did
the
Northwest
Water
Commission
pay
for
that,
and
how
much
did
we
pay
extra,
because
this
thing
kept
on
getting
change,
orders
back
and
that's
the
same
thing
with
this
reservoir?
C
If
this
reservoir
goes
over
time,
this
is
not
small
amounts
of
money
that
will
be
charged
at
interest
to
the
city
of
Evanston
ratepayers.
This
will
hit
the
capital
budget
because
he's
going
into
capital
to
take
it.
You
know
me
so
there
is
no
water
bill
increase
to
pay
the
interest
on
this,
which
is
what
one
almost
a
million
dial
over
a
million
dollars.
C
So
if
this
goes
over
six
months
or
a
year
and
their
potentials
for
that
in
looking
at
some
of
this-
that
they
didn't
answer,
then
this
will
cost
money
real
money
and
it
will
affect
the
other
projects
and,
what's
going
on
so
all
these
things
had
to
be,
you
know
really
thought
out
through
and
thought
through
and,
as
I
said,
keep
on
saying.
We
need
to
go
through
here,
get
a
business
consultant
in
here
and
look
at
this
water
operation
and
understand
it.
The
comment
has
been
made
here
for
some
time.
C
We
have
bad
contracts,
well,
I'm,
not
so
sure,
do
we
have
bad
contracts
or
what's
going
on
here,
nobody
wants
to
really
answer
this.
Nobody
wants
to
tell
us
what
this
business
is
doing,
but
we
want
to
keep
on
improving
water
bill
increases.
We've
done
this
now
for
five
years
and
we
could
be
in
trouble
here
so
I
think
we
need
to
get
somebody
in
here
to
analyze
what
we're
doing
here,
because,
as
I
said
in
the
beginning,
you
didn't
tell
us
that
the
Northwest
water
commission
would
pay
for
this
months
ago.
C
C
Here,
you
don't
need
to
make
a
decision
between
repairing
the
top
and
by
putting
a
new
tank,
and
you
need
to
make
the
decision
what's
going
on
with
this
business
that
doesn't
harm
the
evanston
residents
pocketbooks
and
that's
the
real
issue
here
and
frankly,
some
of
this
technical
stuff-
I
hear,
is
wrong
here,
but
that's
neither
here
nor
there
for
you
to
worry
about
your
issue,
really
is
the
money
in
our
pocket
books.
So
thank
you.
N
Adam
chair
members
of
the
council,
I'm
pleased
to
be
here
to
represent
the
utilities,
commission
and
the
utility
commission
is
a
pleased
to
make
a
recommendation
on
this
subject
study
now.
The
purpose
of
the
utilities
commission
is
to
protect
and
promote
the
public
health
safety
and
welfare
of
the
citizens.
Businesses
and
institutions
of
evanston
is
necessary
to
participate
in
the
planning
and
improvement
of
electrical
natural
gas,
telephone
water
and
sewer
services
in
evanston
to
ensure
reliable
and
competitive
service
and
I
emphasize
those
last
four
words
of
all
the
means
for
storage
of
finished
water.
N
The
fate
of
the
81
year
old
of
5
million,
gallon
1934,
clear
well
located
under
the
northwestern
university
parking
lot
south
of
the
lincoln
street
is
the
primary
concern
based
on
a
needs
assessment
in
Appendix
A
of
the
report.
The
city
needs
this
5
million
gallon
clearwell
capacity
to
comply
with
regulatory
standards
and
best
practices
of
the
five
alternatives
presented
for
repair
or
replacement.
N
Alternative
B
rehabilitate
the
clear,
well
roof
in
place
and
alternative,
see
replace
the
clear
well
existing
footprint
are
the
most
favorable
based
on
the
comparison
of
life
cycle
costs
over
the
range
of
discount
rates.
Considered
repair
is
favored
at
a
higher
discount
rates,
and
replacement
is
favorite
at
the
lower
rates.
Since
the
city
financing
will
be
continued
in
the
lower
range
and
low
interest
loans
and
a
low
interest
loan
from
the
Illinois
Environmental
Protection
Agency
is
likely.
N
N
First,
the
city
will
have
a
new
state-of-the-art
asset
with
a
hundred
year
life
meeting,
all
current
standards
and
best
practices.
The
supply
of
plentiful
and
safe
water
in
evanston
is
currently
at
some
risk.
Because
of
this
one
aged
asset,
the
city
will
not
have
to
commit
to
the
ongoing
inspection
and
repair
at
five
year
intervals.
If
the
roof
is
replaced
is
recommended
is
outlined
in
alternative
a
or
if
the
roof
is
overlain.
N
With
a
new
structural
roof,
which
is
alternative,
B
We
strongly
believe
that
reliable
service
will
be
assured
long
into
the
future
for
Evanston
residents
and
water
customers.
If
replacement,
that
is,
alternative,
see
ya
and
the
required
five
year,
maintenance,
repair
and
replace
of
or
either
alternatives,
A
or
B.
That
will
place
some
risk
for
reliable
service
with
either
roof
replacement
or
a
new
structural
roof.
N
The
study
also
includes
consideration
of
other
finished
water
storage
in
the
clear
wells
underneath
the
filtration
basins,
clear,
well
number
one
and
two
which
are
101
years
old
and
clear
wells
number
three
and
four,
which
are
92
years
old,
we'll
also
need
to
be
replaced.
However,
replacement
of
these
finished
clear
wells
cannot
be
accomplished
at
the
same
time
as
the
81
year
old,
clear,
well,
replacement
must
be
staggered
for
reasons
of
financial
capability
and
service
continuity,
Claire
Wells,
one
through
four,
have
only
forty
percent
of
the
user
capacity
of
the
nineteen
thirty-four
clear.
A
D
So
Richard
the
the
agreement
with
the
Northwest
water
condition
that
we
have
accounts
for
their
supporting
the
payment
of
those
items
such
as
this
that
affect
their
service,
their
delivery
of
water.
Yes,
I
mean
this
is
not
going
to
be
any
surprise
to
them.
It's
not
like
we're
hoping
they're
going
to
pay.
It's
part
of
the
deal
as
part
of
the
contract.
A
No
you
all
right
now,
director
still
make,
has
a
presentation
for
us.
M
M
Good
evening,
chair
and
members
of
the
administration,
Public
Works
Committee
Dave
stelmach
Utilities
Director
I'm
here
tonight
to
give
a
short
presentation,
a
summary
of
the
treated
water
storage
study
that
was
completed
by
CDM
Smith
for
the
city
for
clarification
purposes.
I
want
to
make
sure
every
Byner
stands
at
a
clear,
well
or
reservoir
or
treated
water
storage
facility
is
a
large,
concrete
structure
that
stores
water
after
its
passed
through
the
water
treatment
process
and
before
it's
pumped
out
into
the
distribution
system.
M
As
such,
these
clear
wells
are
part
of
the
contract
with
the
Northwest
Water
Commission,
that's
an
asset
that
they
have
to
pay
a
return
on
radar
at
the
water
plant.
There
are
three
large
areas:
dead
store
water,
two
of
which
Claire
wells
one
through
four
underneath
the
filters
that
were
built,
1913,
1923
and
then
clear
wells
five
through
eight
are
underneath
the
filters
that
were
constructed,
1948
1964.
The
final
area
is
the
large
reservoir.
That's
underneath
Northwestern's
parking
lot
that
was
constructed
in
1934.
M
Some
of
the
key
findings
that
were
brought
up-
and
that
is
that
the
word
storage
capacity
is
appropriate
at
the
water
plant
and
in
the
distribution
system.
This
is
something
that
staff
really
didn't
realize.
We
always
felt
that
we
needed
to
have
more
true
to
order
storage
at
the
water
plant
in
the
of
an
emergency,
but
what
we
have
meets
all
requirements
and
we
can
survive
with
what
we
have.
The
report
did
suggest
making
modifications
to
increase
the
usable
storage
within
the
existing,
clear
walls
right
now.
M
If
you
sum
everything
up,
we
have
nine
point
four
million
gallons
of
water
stored,
but
right
now
we
can
only
get
five
point:
two
million
gallons
of
that
out
of
the
storage
in
the
event
of
emergency.
So
we're
going
to
make
modifications
to
allow
us
get
almost
all
that
9.5
million
gallons
out.
If
we
have
an
emergency
and
then
the
other
factor
is
that
additional
storage
won't
be
required.
M
Cracks
were
identified
in
clear
wells
one
through
and
to
that
need
immediate
attention
to
prevent
infiltration
and
we're
proposing
to
make
those
repairs
and
SMA.
It
costs
a
four
hundred
seventy
thousand
dollars,
and
we
would
like
to
proceed
on
that
work
in
this
current
budget
year
and
then
based
on
the
engineer's
report.
It's
assume
that
these
structures
would
need
to
be
replaced
in
approximately
30
years
color,
where
else
five
through
eight,
which
are
50
and
65
years
old,
are
in
good
condition.
M
The
report
indicates
that
we
should
begin
periodic
inspection
of
those
every
five
years
and
we'll
begin
doing
that.
Now,
as
we
inspect
them,
we
should
repair
any
minor
cracks
that
are
needed
and
they
believe
that
full
replacement
would
be
required
in
approximately
60
years
because
of
the
life
of
the
structures
will
then
be
well
over
100
years
old,
the
1934,
clear,
well,
structure.
M
The
structural
analysis
indicate
that
the
roof
not
last
more
than
flat
another
five
years,
and
then
we
looked
at
several
different
options
as
to
how
to
address
that
one
was
to
replace
the
roof.
Second
was
to
rehabilitate
the
roof,
and
it's
a
current
can
position.
A
third
option
was
replaced
the
structure
near
or
at
its
current
location.
Fourth
option
was
to
abandon
instructor
and
build
a
new
reservoir
on
the
east
side
of
sheridan
road
by
Milburn,
and
then
the
fifth
alternative
was
to
abandon
the
structure
and
build
a
reservoir
in
lehi,
Park
and
I.
M
Think,
as
indicated
earlier,
the
cheapest
solutions
were
either
to
rehabilitate
the
roof
slab
in
place
or
to
replace
the
entire
structure
near
or
at
current
location.
The
decision
on
how
to
proceed
was
then
done.
Based
on
a
life
cycle
cost
analysis
this
chart
indicates
the
cost.
The
top
two
lines
on
the
left
side
indicate
the
cost
to
rebuild.
Take
the
structure
and
the
three
lower
lines
on
the
left
side
indicate
the
cost
to
replace
it.
Those
different
alternatives
where
those
lines
intersect
is
pretty
much
around
at
five
percent.
M
Again,
one
of
the
major
impacts
that
make
this
very
feasible
do
right
now
is
that
we
fully
anticipate
receiving
an
IPA
loan
to
do
this
work.
We
have
a
pre
loan
application
in
the
interest
rates
over
the
past
two
years
have
been
very
low.
We
believe
that
the
interest
rate
the
2016
would
be
about
two
and
a
half
percent
are
probably
lower,
based
on
that,
our
annual
debt
service
would
be
approximately
1
million
two
hundred
and
sixty
seven
thousand
dollars.
M
The
way
that
the
Northwest
Water
Commission
would
help
pay
for
this
is
that
this
asset
would
be
included
in
their
asset
list
that
they
have
to
repay
the
return
on
radar.
That
asset
is
an
attitude
or
list
until
it's
fully
functional
and
placement
service,
which
is
generally
a
year
after
it's
finished
construction,
their
fourth
for
the
first
year,
evanston
would
have
to
pay
100
percent
of
the
debt
service
or
1.2
67
million
dollars.
M
We
believe
that
we
can
support
that
without
our
rate
increase,
because
in
the
current
CIP
we've
allocated
26
million
dollars
to
do
this
work
on
our
different
treated
water
storages
and
we're
able
to
reduce
that
I'm,
not
by
five
point,
eight
million
dollars
based
on
the
current
facts,
so
we
feel
very
comfortable
it.
We
be
able
to
pay
that
first
year,
debt
without
raising
rates
and
then
years
two
through
20th
at
that
service.
M
The
Northwest
water
commission
would
be
paying
approximately
ninety-one
percent
of
the
debt
service
so
to
try
to
sum
it
up
over
to
20
years.
If
you
borrow
the
20-some
million
dollars
needed
to
replace
the
reservoir,
the
total
debt
payment
would
be
25
million
340,000
over
those
20
years,
which
is
only
really
19
years,
you're
to
through
20,
the
Northwest
water
commission
would
pay
23
million
of
that
or
91
%.
The
remaining
two.
M
Ninety
two
hundred
and
seventy
thousand
dollars
is
left
to
evanston
and
skokie,
and
then
evenson
has
to
pay
that
first
year,
debt
service,
1
million
dollars
so
really
you're
left
with
a
million
dollars
left
and
that
split
between
evenson
and
skokie
in
the
future.
So
you're
looking
at
a
payment
of
26
thousand
three
hundred
dollars
from
the
evanston
ratepayers,
which
pretty
much
means
there's
no
water
rate,
increase
needed
for
the
replacement
of
this
structure
and
with
that
I'll
entertain
questions.
D
A
Okay,
that
concludes
our
agenda
eyes.
A
motion
to
adjourn
we
will
adjourn
and
planning
and
planning
and
development
should
meet
in
the
next
ten
minutes.
