e) Consideration – An Ordinance Designating the Intersections of Founders Field Boulevard/ Ackman Road and Founders Field Boulevard and Williams/Hadley Drive as All-Way Stop Control
Village Manager David Johnson reported that a sight distance evaluation/engineering study submitted by the developer for the Talamore Subdivision, CalAtlantic Homes, a Lennar Company, identified possible sight line obstructions at certain intersections along Founders Field Boulevard and Talamore Boulevard. The developer has submitted for consideration a revised traffic control plan that allows the existing landscaping to remain at three intersections within the Talamore Subdivision generally as follows:
Founders Field Boulevard:
At Ackman Road: Add stop control devices including stop signs, advanced warning signs and stop bars for the eastbound and westbound traffic on Ackman Road and designate intersection as an all-way (3-way) stop intersection per the attached exhibit.
At Williams Drive: Add stop control devices including stop signs, advanced warning signs and stop bars for the northbound and southbound traffic on Founders Field Boulevard and designate intersection as an all-way (4-way) stop intersection. Pavement markings for pedestrian crosswalks will be added per the attached exhibit, as well.
Talamore Boulevard:
At Kalsow Lane: Add signage and pavement markings restricting a left turn from Kalsow Lane onto Talamore Boulevard per the attached exhibit. The allowable turning movements will be a right turn from Kalsow Lane onto Talamore Boulevard; a left and right turn from Talamore Boulevard onto Kalsow Lane.
Staff Analysis-
The Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) allows for the following optional criteria that may be considered in an engineering study:
A. The need to control left-turn conflicts;
B. The need to control vehicle/pedestrian conflicts near locations that generate high pedestrian volumes;
C. Locations where a road user, after stopping, cannot see conflicting traffic and is not able to negotiate the intersection unless conflicting cross traffic is also required to stop; and
D. An intersection of two residential neighborhood collector (through) streets of similar design and operating characteristics where multi-way stop control would improve traffic operational characteristics of the intersection.
Based on the sight distance evaluation / engineering study and the MUTCD optional criteria, the proposed traffic control improvements are warranted.
Financial Impact-
Improvements will be contracted and paid for by the developer prior to subdivision acceptance.
Mayor Sass asked if the Village Board had any comments or questions; there were none.
A Motion was made to approve an Ordinance Designating the Intersections of Founders Field Boulevard/Ackman Road and Founders Field Boulevard and Williams/Hadley Drive as All-Way Stop Control.

Staff Analysis-
With the FY2017 audit being finalized, the remaining budget dollars from FY2017 can now be carried forward in to FY2018. Listed below shows the amount being requested for budget carry-over dollars from FY2017 into FY2018. This project was not completed by the end of December 31, 2017 and the total budget allocation was not spent.
Fund; Account Number; Type; Amount; Project:
Downtown TIF Fund; 16-10-2-6320; Expenditure; $320,000; 1st Street Parking Lot Improvements
Financial Impact-
The FY2018 budget will be increased by this dollar amount in the Downtown TIF Fund (16). However, this project was approved and incorporated into the FY2017 budget and actual expenditure projections. Therefore, total projected fund balance has not changed due to the amendment for this fund. The Downtown TIF fund currently has a negative fund balance, but projecting revenues and current known expenditures, such as debt payments, over the life of the TIF shows this negative fund balance will be covered.
Legal Analysis-
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) dictate when an expense can be recognized based on delivery date or completion date. Sikich, the Village’s audit firm, has reviewed this amendment.
Mayor Sass asked if the Village Board had any comments or questions.
