VILLAGE CLERK’S REPORT

Matthew Bajor announced the upcoming meeting dates.

STAFF REPORTS:

ADMINISTRATION:

Mr. Schloneger:

In 2005 an intergovernmental agreement for the Longmeadow/Huntley Rd/Kreutzer Corridor was entered into by McHenry County, Kane County, Carpentersville, Huntley, Gilberts and Algonquin. The purpose was to regionally plan for the safe and efficient flow of traffic along the corridors as the land was developed across jurisdictions. It was determined by the municipalities that the current IGA should be terminated, and a new working group should be established to create a new agreement that reflects current conditions and plans.

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT:

Mr. Knapp:

The Village did not receive any submittals for the 221 South Main call for qualifications and proposals. Staff will now convert the call for proposals to an open call where a development team can submit a proposal at any time.

PUBLIC WORKS:

Mr. Badran:

Downtown – Washington St. will be opened by the end of the day Wednesday. Punch list work and landscaping will be completed in spring.

Presidential Park – about two more weeks of concrete work remain then the park will be accessible over winter, with landscaping work to be completed in spring.

The binder coat of asphalt was applied to both the downtown parking lots and the Presidential Park parking lot.

Trustee Glogowski asked about the Eastgate Design. The design includes realignment of the sidewalks on three of the four legs of the project limits and angled off-street parking along with other pedestrian improvements.

Trustee Glogowski asked what the Village does to enforce sensible salting to businesses. Staff will work out a way to notify the businesses to be cognizant of the amount of salt being used in their parking lots.

POLICE DEPARTMENT:

Chief Walker:

Our Tobacco Compliance Unit went out tonight and did checks on 27 businesses and I am happy to share that we only had two violations which is a 93% compliance rate.

We are on our second day of having started wearing our body worn cameras and so far so good on the technology side, thanks to our IT department. 

We are looking forward and are all set and ready to have a safe Miracle on Main Street event.
