VI. NEW BUSINESS CORRESPONDENCE
1. 20-348 Authorizing a Joint Funding Agreement with United States Geological Survey (USGS) for the Operation of Will County Rain Gages
Jonathan Dykstra said we have been doing this for several years.
Scott Killinger said the first 3 items are the rain gauges contract, which as Jonathan said, we have been doing that for years. The money’s in the budget, we just need to pass this so we can actually move it on to the County Board.
Also the same for the Lower DuPage Watershed and the Lower DesPlaines Watershed. Again, we have done this for years and the money’s in the budget and we just need to pass a Resolution in order to move it on to the County Board.
The Consent Agenda has all 3 of those items on it, so we're only going to need one vote here.
I think we can use previous Roll Call.
There's 12 projects and the 3 items.
If anybody has questions, let me know and I'd be happy to answer them.
Ken Carroll asked on the projects, once we approve this, how soon can the City of Crest Hill or any of the other applicants apply for grant money?
Scott Killinger said once we approve this, then we have to physically get Jon and Randy to sign the Resolutions, which is going to take a couple of days. I'm in touch with most of the project sponsors. Basically, they can apply and we'll approve payments next month if they come in. In other words, as long as you've done work in this Fiscal Year, December 1st to November 30th, you can apply. Again, most of the people I've talked to, they already have their project going so they'll be able to apply right away. Then, we can start approving payments at the next meeting in October.
Ken Carroll said ok, I want to contact the City of Crest Hill and I want to give them the October 1 date that they can apply.
Scott Killinger said I think they already know about it, but go ahead and contact them to make sure. I think I've talked to them already.
Ken Carroll said ok, thank you.
Roll Call vote was taken. Motion passed unanimously, 12-0.
RESULT: APPROVED [UNANIMOUS]
TO: Will County Executive Committee
MOVER: Ken Carroll, Scott Gapsevich
AYES: Howard, Kruzel, Dykstra, Pawlowicz, Jessen, Dolezal, Carroll, Gapsevich, O'Grady, Fano, Weigel, Nash

2020 Revised Project Program (Consent Agenda)
VII. REPORT OF OFFICERS, SUBCOMMITTEES, STATE'S ATTORNEY AND/OR STAFF Scott Killinger said if you recall when we had the in person meeting whenever it was, we had a resident from Elwood come and she had some information. She had a drainage issue and I'm still looking into that. It's complicated because it involves IDOT. I haven't forgotten about it but I don't have complete answers yet.
Jonathan Dykstra said she had an IDOT person there with her.
Scott Killinger said she did.
Dawn Tomczak said she has also been inquiring for updates. Is she on a phone call today? She's been inquiring through emails. If it's okay with you Scott, I will answer on behalf of Stormwater that it's in review.
Scott Killinger said yes. There's a scope of work, I'm just trying to figure out how much it would cost,then we could talk about what we would do with it. Keep in mind the Stormwater Committee really doesn't do projects, perhaps the Township would propose to do it. Until I have an idea of how much it would cost I really can't give you a realistic discussion. I'm working on that.
Jonathan Dykstra said I think it's fair to just tell her that we are pursuing it and it's being looked into and some things are being coordinated. We expect to get back to her in the very near future.
Dawn Tomczak said thank you.
Jonathan Dykstra asked anything new with the WaterShed study with Imad?
Scott Killinger said we went to the County Board and the Executive Committee wanted us to brief the individual district Board Members. That would be 4, 5, 6, and 13. We have done that and I expect that to go back to Executive Committee this month, in about a week. The meeting will be a week from this Thursday and we'll get further discussion and further direction from the Executive Committee at that point. So, that's the update on that.
Jonathan Dykstra said ok, that's good.
