1. 2019 Project Payments
Scott Killinger said the Consent Agenda has 4 items on it. One of them, we discussed at the last meeting about paying $40,000 for the Groundwater Study instead of the $20,000, so that is in there. Assuming you approve this Consent Agenda, then there is one more project that we will have to do in January. I'm still working with it. It's the Joliet Park District and they're not done. Hopefully we're going to get that one done. After we do these today, we will have done every one but one.
DJ Kruzel made a motion to approve. Tom Weigel seconded the motion.
DJ Kruzel made a motion to approved previous Roll Call. Tom Weigel seconded the motion. Motion passed.
VII. REPORT OF OFFICERS, SUBCOMMITTEES, STATE'S ATTORNEY AND/OR STAFF
Scott Killinger said Joliet is going to discuss their water supply at the Cantigny VFW on December 5th if anybody's interested. That's the only thing that I know. Everybody have a good holiday. I apologize for dragging everybody out here. Like I say, there is one more project. Assuming I get what I need, we'll have to come and do that one on January 7th.
Scott Killinger said the budget was approved by the County Board so in January we can talk a little bit about what we want to do with the projects for next year.
Tom Weigel said I mentioned last month about County Board members and if they have to live in the District or not.
Scott Killinger said we checked on that but now I can't remember what we found out. I apologize.
Matt Guzman said I was discussing it with others in our office. I think what it boiled down to was given what the Statute says, it's really a statutory interpretation. There's not a lot of cases interpreting StormWater Statutes. It seems that the consensus in our office is that they would have to live or reside in that District. That's the last thing that I discussed with another ASA in my office. I can get back to you on that. I think what it boils down to is that the Statute made it sound that you should have representatives coming from that particular District. It seems to me that logic would dictate that they would have to reside there, but it doesn't say that. So, that's the issue. The consensus so far from the ones I spoke to say yeah, they should reside in that particular area, but it doesn't say it. I'll research it a little further and see what I can find. I can present something next time.
Tom Weigel asked would it be the same then for Municipalities or not?
Matt Guzman said I think it's the same. I don't think it says they have to reside there. Tom Weigel said maybe we should redefine that in our bylaws.
Scott Killinger said maybe we just need to change the bylaws.
Tom Weigel said make it a little more liberal or something.
Matt Guzman said if it's silent in the State Statute, then it seems to me that logic dictates this Committee to put it in the bylaws to spell out what we want it to say. There's certainly no case law or anything on it.
Scott Killinger said we can do that. We will bring some more on that in January, I guess.
