2. Dupage River Study Update

(David DuBois)

Mr. Dubois gave a brief update on the DuPage River Feasibility Study Update and introduced Mr. Imad Samara and Ms. Erin Mahoney, Army Corps of Engineers and Mr. Scott Killinger.

Mr. Samara and Ms. Mahoney reviewed the attached PowerPoint presentation.

Mr. Maher stated you mentioned the Whalon Lake quarry was not feasible; didn’t they just add a drainage system with a bridge? Does that impact what you are doing in the area?

Ms. Mahoney replied it was considered as part of the conceptual design and we worked with the quarry to discuss all options. Our plan considered using the diversion there and adding additional diversion into the quarry for additional storage. Using the channel was in the plans. We did a hydrologic model to understand the benefits and it was not recommended because of the cost. There were significant reductions in flood projections, but based on a cost benefit analysis it is very expensive. We did not include the cost of the bridge in our analysis, because we assumed the bridge would have already been built.

Mr. Samara added the cost is mainly to use the excavated area and channel the water into the quarry and remove water after the event. The quarry has to stay empty. The benefit to the cost ratio was not favorable.

Mr. Moustis stated it may not meet the standards of the Corps, but it does not mean the project cannot go forward by another agency. Mr. Samara stated Hud, Fema or others without the criteria may be able to do that.

Mr. Tuminello asked are these permanent solutions to the flooding issues or does this push the problems down the river?

Mr. Samara replied the Corps has to prove to IDRN and others we are taking care of the problem and not pushing it down the river.

Mr. Moustis stated we addressed the entire watershed, but this also gives us a planning tool. Many of the problems are because it should never have been built on; we should never have allowed them to build in the floodplain. We removed structures from the watershed when funds were available. If we had a blank check, we would remove all of those structures. We should remove the structures; I believe we are giving false hope to say we will do something so you won’t flood anymore. This Board is committed to continuing the study and hopefully we have all the necessary partners who will stay engaged. We will go to the next round and hope to get additional funds from feds for this project. The study is a good planning tool so structures are not built in the wrong place when we update the watershed.

Mrs. Ogalla stated removing structures in the floodplain is a good thing. When you look at elevating structures are those near the river that have not typically flooded?

Ms. Mahoney replied we have just made some general assumptions as to which measure we would do for each structure, based on what we know about the depth of flooding and predictions for the 100 year flood elevation. If it is inundated a foot or two, sometimes we recommend elevating, especially when owners want to stay. When we refine the cost and work more closely with the communities to determine what they and the homeowners want, we can refine and change the specific recommendations. Will County has done buyouts and evacuated people from the floodplain, which is part of the reason the damages we estimated were not as high as we originally thought because you have done work to get the people out. We know that is a priority of Will County and we will work with you to identify each area and what makes the most sense.

Mrs. Ogalla stated no one ever wants to move, but if it will continue to cost everyone money, then we need to move them to higher land.

Ms. Mahoney stated we can include benefits associated with reduction in EMA costs if we evacuate versus elevate. If they are in the floodplain, but elevated above it, there can still be costs.

Mr. Moustis stated generally people living in the floodplain when given the opportunity to get out, they leave.

Mr. Killinger stated there were people at the Stormwater Committee Meeting on June 5th to hear this presentation and are wanting to know when the County can buy them out.

Mr. Maher asked what is your timeframe?

Mr. Samara stated this project is authorized for us to do the feasibility study. We will have to go to Congress and get authorization for this project along with the appropriations for construction. The planning and specifications takes six to 15 months. Then we would purchase 20 structures and it would take a two or three years. After authorization and appropriation we are approximately three years from implementation.

3. Authorizing County Executive to Executive a Contract with Ann L. Schneider & Associates, LLC

(Nick Palmer)

Ms. Schneider reviewed the presentation in the agenda packet. And highlight we have now discussed the truck routing with 18 of the 24 townships and 19 communities. The Governmental League has identified Bolingbrook, Romeoville, Lemont, Woodridge and Lockport as participants in the CMAP study, should the study be funded. Mr. Ronaldson and DOT has done a great job of collecting and mapping the information. Once we get all the information we will be able to provide a base level map, see where the gaps are and address them.

Mr. Palmer stated there was a meeting in Eastern Will County, the communities along the Route 59 corridor and the super clusters in Joliet and Elwood. That work is on-going. Eastern Will County is doing work on their own. After we receive their work we will regroup and keep you informed.

Ms. Schneider reviewed the I-80/Route 30 interchange award. The I-55 and Weber Road project is moving forward at this time. The County and City of Joliet submitted a joint application for statewide planning and research dollars, to create a Joliet Intermodal Transportation Master Plan to understand what improvements are needed, to address the current level and future level of development outlined in the Freight Plan. The grant awards will be announced on July 1st along with the CMAP Truck Routing Program. If they are both awarded then both projects will go forward. A review of the grants, dates and information on page 19 was given. None of the Will County projects on the list are far enough along to be competitive. IDOT has indicated series of intersection improvements on Route 53 that might be ready and they would be willing to partner with us. This would be south of 52 and north of Manhattan/Arsenal Road.

Mr. Palmer stated we need to have a discussion on how we can expedite more projects to the ready point. We are looking at state and municipal projects if it helps the region.

Mr. Moustis suggested Ms. Schneider giving a report at a Committee of the Whole so everyone is aware.

Ms. Schneider highlighted the USDOT awards last week. There were 234 applications for $12.3 billion; they selected 26 projects. The next round will be later this fall or early 2019 with $2 billion available.

Discussion took place of projects along the 191st Corridor from Wolf Road to Route 43 and the 80th Avenue bridge replacement.

Ms. Schneider stated if Board Members feel projects in their district were not included, to reach out to her.

Mr. Moustis asked Mr. Ronaldson to look at 191st Street and put it on the radar. It is getting its wear and tear. From a standpoint of freight, I believe that road going to be reconstructed sooner than we thought. It could use additional deceleration and acceleration lanes along with turning lanes.

Mr. Ronaldson stated some of it could happen as development happens in the area. Nothing came out of the 2040 Plan as far as needs.

Mr. Moustis stated we are all involved in the new I-80 Corridor Group. I believe this group will not just be Will County. It will extend into Cook County, because it is important to all of us. Some of the issues along the 191st Corridor may be addressed by this group. We need to be aware of the Corridor Group’s priorities and I believe they will be advocates for development along the corridor.

Mr. Tuminello stated we were talking about 80th Avenue, on the north side of I-80, in the Cook County portion, it is four lanes. When it gets to the bridge it creates a bottleneck in Will County.

Mr. Moustis stated the bridge belongs to IDOT, we maintain the surface. Mr. Palmer stated Item #9 is the IDOT grant application. This is coming from the same pot of money that paid for the Freight Study. We had to submit because of the deadline, but we are looking for a formal commitment from the Board to help identify funding. This is $25,000 from the City of Joliet and the County and that match will get a $200,000 stated grant. The focus is the area between Joliet and Elwood.

4. Illinois State Association of Counties Membership

(Discussion)

Mr. Moustis stated in Illinois we have had various associations representing counties. There is a new state association and it will be recognized by NACo, which is important because they provide funding when recognized. Our portion of the dues will be $27,000; and will come from the FY2018 budget, because we have not paid the other associations this year. If we can develop an effective association for counties it is worth moving forward.

Mrs. Hart explained how the association will be set up and how having all elected official’s associations under one umbrella will improve communication for all.

Discussion took place regarding how the invoice will be paid.

Mr. Palmer indicated the County Executive’s budget had money budgeted for the Metro Counties dues. Since it was not paid, if there is money, the Executive’s Office will pay this invoice.

Ms. Winfrey asked do we have a commitment from the downstate organizations; they have been the biggest holdouts.

Mrs. Hart answered UCCI is onboard.

10. Supporting Denise Winfrey for a NACo Board Seat

(Discussion)

Mr. Moustis stated we have been very active in NACo and most of our membership has been at the committee or Vice-Chair level. Until now we have not ascended into the hierarchy of NACo. Partly because it takes a lot of time and there are additional expenses for the County. As there will be more meetings to attend. One of the commitments the NACo president likes to see is the entire Board is behind the person they will perhaps be seating for positions, as it sometimes requires the person to be away from Board meetings, but they represent you on a national level. Ms. Winfrey has been committed to NACo and put her name in for a position. She is the Vice-Chair of LUCC and a member of several committees and is being considered for a position on the main NACo Board. It is a real honor for her. Having Ms. Winfrey on the Board will give us insight and the ability to participate in pilot programs first. Ms. Winfrey stated of the collar counties, Will County is the only one that currently does not have a seat. It makes sense for us to have that seat as the large collar county we are.

VI. Other New Business

Mr. Moustis stated we need to set up a meeting to interview firms from the RFQ for CMs for smaller projects. We will create a list of qualified firms from the interviews. The previous Committee was myself, Mr. Brooks, Mr. Tuminello, Mrs. Dollinger, Mr. Fricilone, Mr. Moran and Ms. Winfrey.

Discussion took place regarding the date and time for the interviews. Decision was Monday, June 25th beginning at 9:00 a.m.

Mr. Moustis stated the interviews will be 45 minutes, 5 minutes between and a 15 minute break for lunch. That will take us from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.

Mr. Moustis stated we work on some large assessments and it takes a number of months to complete the negotiations. All the taxing bodies are involved. We wait until the other taxing bodies sign off before we bring it forward. All of the primary taxing bodies have signed off and I would like to bring the ExxonMobil Assessment agreement forward.

Mr. Moustis congratulated Ms. Novak on the job to get the agreement completed. Next, we will be working on Exelon and Citgo Refinery. These are tough to get through and getting everyone to agree on a reasonable assessment is a rough job.

Ms. Novak stated when we do these agreement they stem from what we have done for the last 30 years. They come from the methodology used, they create stability for all of the taxing bodies and allow all of us to come together and see what is going on in the market with other facilities like these. In Will County we have a nuclear plant and two refineries; those are three very large specialty properties. We do this because we continue to communicate and cooperate with all the taxing bodies. We always end up with an agreement that works for everyone.

Vll. Request For State's Attorney's Opinion

Vlll. Committee Reports

1. Land Use & Development

Mr. Weigel reviewed the zoning cases. We had three solar farms at Committee; one was approved, before a discussion where it was brought up the state is changing legislation and the last two were tabled to allow for a condition that would reflect the state changes. I will ask to table the item on the agenda.

Mr. Moustis stated the solar legislation seems to change daily and that makes it hard to bring these projects forward. All the changes of approvals and rights coming later makes us move cautiously, which we should.

Mrs. Ogalla stated one of the objections to a location was site suitability. We need a conversation now so we are not having a similar conversation as we did about the homes built in the flood plain, we need to look at the site suitability and density. We have been told there is not a density issue because the current infrastructure can only take so much; but ComEd said they can always upgrade the infrastructure to allow more. We need to look at this and the local townships should be deciding the density for their areas. Some may want a lot and others less.

Mr. Moustis stated I have issues with this going in random AG areas, near transmission lines. We have brown fields with infrastructure. We are looking to put one on our property at the landfill; an appropriate use of the part of the landfill already covered. We should be taking a harder look at these areas and not rushing to put in the agricultural districts. We should put an emphasis on other areas, such as old industrial areas.

Mrs. Ogalla stated many properties are absentee owners. The one area where the most objectors were speaking at, the person signed a lease with the solar company the same day he closed on the property. He bought it as an AG parcel, but wants to use it as commercial.

Mr. Moustis stated we should not be so quick to approve in AG and AG should be the preferred zoning for solar farms. The longer this lingers the more you think about how this should be moving forward. On the zoning classification, should we have a more defined solution within our Ordinance for AG properties? Is there a way to narrow it down? Should we have more scrutiny on the special use going into AG?

Mrs. Tatroe indicated she was not completely familiar with the Ordinances regarding solar because we are just instituting them.

Mr. Moustis stated it is a special use under AG, maybe we should look at that whether we talk about SUP for over 50 acres. We went to 200 foot cell towers, the idea was to have taller towers at fewer sites. In the same manner we should be saying it is SUP for over 50 acres. We should have discussion of having larger solar farms, but fewer in the right places.

Mr. Maher stated could we look at other counties that have solar farms and see what they have done right and wrong. It is easier to respond to something than create.

Mr. Olson stated when we changed the zoning Ordinance to update it, we did use information from other areas that had solar. Mr. Moustis stated it was so new, we are following what is out there, but we never said it was a good policy.

Mr. Olson stated several years ago, in conjunction with CMAP we did a study about landfills. We could look at that again and bring it to you.

Mr. Moustis continued there is so much to look at and I feel we are being pressured to move forward and I have concerns we will regret what we are doing.

Mrs. Ogalla reviewed the auction process coming in January. In two years they will put more money out. According to ComEd there are 450 projects, but only money for 65.

Mr. Moustis stated that means we could be approving all these SUPs and none of them will go forward. This is reverse of what we are used to. Maybe we could give the special use, but tell them it has to be implemented within 6 months, with no extensions.

Mrs. Tatroe indicated her office would work with Land Use.

IX. Public Comment

X. Chairman's Report / Announcements

Mrs. Ogalla reviewed the Ad Hoc IT Committee meeting. The team reviewed four vendors for the Court Management System software. The range was from just under $1 million to over $6 million. We decided $6 million was too much, but there are three remaining. We are looking for direction. We want to conduct interviews, but also ensure funding is available. Another is $4 million and we are wondering if that is a company we can bring in.

Mr. Moustis stated that comes from capital funding. It depends on how we will address it. If it’s $4 million, it could be paid over two budget years.

Mrs. Johannsen stated we have designated $500,000 in the current capital budget, but projects such as this are usually done over multiple years. This could be discussed at Finance what you would like to see placed in the FY19 and FY20 budgets.

Mrs. Ogalla stated we were planning to call in the three vendors for presentations.

Mr. Moustis stated if it is needed we have to look at ways to fund. This will be part of the budget discussions. Before a purchase is made, we will most likely be in the FY2019 budget year.

Ms. Freitag stated most of the vendors indicated it would take three years to fully implement.
