IV. PUBLIC COMMENT
Jeff Slota, a resident of Caton Farm Acres, said I am actually a retired construction worker. As I travel through the County, I notice things and then I have questions about them. As you know, our neighborhood has always had a problem with flooding from the DuPage River. I came across a report for the Route 30 Project Development Area. I am not an engineer and I'm not involved with the government in any way. This report was done by SB Friedman Development Advisors. It shows here a picture of grade area and in the key it says, “contributes to flooding”. As of right now, that’s where Costco stands. I realize that they build retention ponds to help this. One is okay, but I know how much construction is going on in this area. I feel like everything affects our neighborhood. The Army Corps of Engineers is telling me that for my home and my neighbors, that it’s a hydrology problem, which it is, but our fear is the river. Various times it has come into our neighborhood. I don’t know how often you guys look at flood maps, probably not too often, right?
Scott Killinger said it’s actually pretty often.
Jeff Slota said I have stacks and stacks of paperwork over the years, starting in 1997 I believe. That is when we had a major flood. Our neighbor now is in a floodway. I believe any of these homes that have property in a floodway should be eradicated. Every time I have a question about a certain project that is going on, it seems like I get handed around. I’ll go to Will County Land Use and they’ll say we don’t have any control because it’s in the municipality of Joliet or the municipality of Plainfield. I can never seem to get an answer, and of course that’s real frustrating for the people in my neighborhood. We never know what’s going to happen with our homes. We’ve been dealing with this stuff for so many years, that we’re just to the point of ultimate frustration already. Where do I go to find out what’s going to happen? Imad is supposed to be here next month. I guess he would be able to tell us for sure, but what we’re shooting for is to eradicate the homes that are in a major floodway. I know when they removed the dam in Shorewood, it helped out a little. But for every dam we remove we seem to pave over another 10 miles of land. As you guys probably know, Will County already has a water drainage problem to begin with. That’s all I have to say for today. We’ll see what happens when Imad shows up. Where do I go to get an answer? I looked at the flood maps this morning and this is no longer in a floodplain at all. I understand that they do excavating, but now I can’t even go back and get historic flood maps. I used to be able to go all the way back to 1998, but now I can’t find them. We’re just trying to alleviate the problem in our neighborhood. I believe the DNR purchased one home for sure, because I think they want to extend the DuPage River Trail. I’d like to know how some of these decisions are made. Is our neighborhood or neighborhoods like ours even taken into consideration when some of these things are being built? I just worked on a Pace bus barn in Plainfield and that thing is huge. The Target warehouse is 32 acres under a roof. You can choke the water down all you want and pour a shot glass of water into a beaker at a certain rate, but if you pour 150 of them at the same rate, it’s still going to fill up at a fast rate. It’s just simple physics I guess. That’s all I have to say for now.
Scott Killinger said I can address some of that. I have communicated with Jeff pretty often through e-mail. There’s 2 questions here. 1 is the developments that are going on and 2 is the specific neighborhood where he lives and the Army Corps projects. As far as the developments he talked about, I understand that he’s frustrated, but the fact to the matter is that I can’t answer questions about these projects that are in the municipalities. Jeff, I have communicated that to you and you should ask Plainfield. He mentioned some other ones and said something about Joliet. I’m not aware of one in Joliet, but again, I’m not going to have an answer for that. Those are not things that the County is going to be able to answer. I have no idea what’s in those plans.
Randall Jessen said I can address the Plainfield one actually, since I work for the Village of Plainfield and you can contact our Plan Department. Our stormwater requirements are 1-1/2 times what the County requires when it comes to stormwater management. You can contact the Plan Department and they can give you the whole A-Z on how the grading was designed to accommodate stormwater and flow and all of that.
Jeff Slota said actually, at this point, is it going to make any difference? If it’s the Army Corps of Engineers, it is probably already set.
Scott Killinger said that would be the second half of my response. Regarding the Army Corps of Engineers, we’re going to have a meeting with them soon. Both Imad and I are aware that some of the property owners in that neighborhood which are identified for flood proofing and elevation would really rather be bought out. I think when we have that meeting, Jeff should come prepared to make his argument to Imad and the rest of the Army Corps staff. It’s possible that if the Army Corps does agree that there could be a buyout, then that would probably change the numbers that the County would have to pay. Then, I would have to take that to the County Board to get their decision. At this point, we’re a long way from that. If the Army Corps thinks that they should buy that out, we will support it from the Staff level and we’ll see what the County Board says.
Jeff Slota asked, is there any kind of time frame here? We started this whole thing in 2015 and it’s really frustrating.
Scott Killinger said I understand. This first phase of the project wrapped up in 2020 and of course, the pandemic has made things difficult. The County decided to move forward with the projects. The County needed to procure a professional service firm that can survey the properties affected, the title work, and appraisals so that we can negotiate how much its going to take to buyout the properties that are identified as a buyout. In some cases, I realize there are other properties that are not identified for buyout, but the residents probably desire to be bought out. So, we’re going to have to work through all of that. In November, the County Board voted and hired the firm to do that work. That contract took effect December 1st. Imad and I will get together and we will contact the Township and we’re going to set up some meetings with the residents. These will probably be in the Plainfield Township Hall. You’ll all be notified, I would imagine shortly after the 1st of the year.
Jeff Slota said one more comment to Plainfield. I know you guys have the retention pond, but in the meanwhile, when the retention pond is dug there’s a giant pile of dirt along the tracks and along Renwick Road.
Randall Jessen said that’s topsoil for re-use.
Jeff Slota said in the interim, when you get a heavy rain the water goes right into the floodplain. From my point of view, I think there’s another thing that’s going to cause water to come to my house. I just don’t think you understand the frustration that the people in my neighborhood go through.
Randall Jessen said there should be silt fence around the limits of the project that would prohibit that from entering any streams or ditches. Typically, it’s temporary seeded, but I’d have to double check.
Jeff Slota said I understand about silt fence. That keeps silt out, correct? In a good heavy rain, water’s going to go right over the top of that silt fence. In the interim, we have a giant pile of dirt. Now they’re building a project at 59 in Joliet and it looks like they’re tying into the sewer system and that goes into the river. To me, the river is just part of the infrastructure around here. If it had a pipe around it, it would be a completely different thing, but it doesn’t. Believe me, I wish I wasn’t here. I’ve been dealing with this for many years and I’ve grown very tired.
Chairman Dykstra said okay Jeff, I’m going to have to cut you off here. I thank you for your comments. Did anyone else want to speak?
Judy Carrino introduced herself. I live across the street from Jeff. With the floodway being changed by FEMA, the other big issue is insurance. It is killing us. I am paying almost $3,000 per year just for flood insurance. That does not count my home insurance. When I first moved here 20 years ago, I did have flood insurance, but it was like $400 for the entire year. Now, it’s astronomical. When you’re retired and on a fixed income, it’s getting really hard. My husband is a disabled veteran and when we have a flood, we have a very hard time trying to clean it up. The more you make claims, the more your insurance goes up. So, you’re caught in this quandary. I just want to put that out there. When we first started this, I was identified as a buyout and now Imad's telling me floodproofing. I have looked into that and if they try to floodproof my house, my foundation will crack. I did have some people come out, and for us, it could cause us more damage than help. I’m not being difficult, but I just wanted to put that out there. The biggest issue is the insurance, that is totally killing us. It doesn’t go down, it just goes up. If I make a claim, my house insurance goes up. I’m already paying almost $1,000 on my house insurance. So, $4,000 a year on just insurance. We need help.
Jeff Slota said I think the problem with our homes is that we have basements. Imad already asked me if I would eliminate the basement and I said no. I moved to Plainfield 3 years after we got hit by a tornado and it was important that I had a basement. Maybe when they get down to what things will actually cost, then things will change.
Chairman Dykstra said I’m going to respond briefly to this. The thing about flood insurance that you have to be aware of is that it is not locally determined. The County has nothing to do with it. The Village of Plainfield and the towns have nothing to do with setting insurance rates. It all comes from Washington D.C. You’re right, there has been an increase in flood insurance lately. This was pushed by Congress at one time, so if you want to blame someone, look no further than your politicians. Sometimes they mean well, but what they were trying to do was make the NFIP more self-funding and more viable that the actual risk was reflected in premiums. So, if your house is more at risk, you definitely saw an increase in your premium. It’s unfortunate, but there’s nothing locally, on the County level, that we can do about that. You bring up a valid point with the question whether to floodproof or buyout. We could have our opinion here about it and we could support a certain opinion, but I think this is going to be part of the context of the meetings with the residents and Imad. I would bring that same information to that meeting for him. Make sure he is well aware of how this is cost prohibitive, and maybe the best option is a buyout. That’s what I would recommend.
Chuck Willard, the Plainfield Township Administrator, said none of the residents are blaming the Townships or the County for the insurance rates at all. What the residents are trying to say is that the County is the last stop for everybody. If the municipalities are all independent doing their own things, it affects the County overall. That’s the point they’re trying to make that they want you guys to get your head around. They’re not blaming the County for the insurance rates, that’s just a fact of what’s going on.
Chairman Dykstra said excuse me, please don’t put words in my mouth. I never said she was blaming the County. I was just explaining that the County has nothing to do with the setting of rates, but we share her misery about those rates. I have paid flood insurance on a home once and I know all about it. Please don’t say I was saying that.
Chuck Willard, Plainfield Township Administrator, said I’m not saying you said that. I’m saying this is the frustration that they’re bringing to the County.
Chairman Dykstra said I just wanted to make that clear for the record. Chuck Willard, Plainfield Township Administrator, said it’s clear.
Scott Killinger said when Imad and I get the meeting scheduled with the residents, I think a lot of these things that we just heard now will be discussed there. I guarantee they will, because Imad and I already know about this. I’m glad you came today. I think you have some good stuff to bring to the meetings that will be set up, which again, will probably be right after the holidays.
Judy Carrino said knowing that there’s either a buyout or whatever, it prohibits any of us from putting our house up for sale. We don’t know what’s going on and you have to divulge this information when we’re selling our house. We’re like in the middle and we just want to have that meeting. I’m not blaming anybody and I would never do that. I just want to have the meeting so that we can get some things established so the residents know where they stand and can decide what we can do to get out of this position.
Jeff Slota said I just wanted to state one more thing. In no way am I against any kind of progress or any kind of prosperity for the whole County. All we’re saying is that we want to be included. Whatever is paved over and whatever is caused by the building process, that we’re just not swept under the rug. Thank you.
Chairman Dykstra asked, was that everyone Scott?
Scott Killinger said I believe that’s everyone who wanted to speak. Everyone here is acknowledging that those who wish to speak, have spoken.
Chairman Dykstra said Jeff, Judy, and Chuck, I appreciate you all letting us be aware of what your frustrations are. I think that was the gist of it. This has been going on for a long time. I think you all agree with that. The County will do what we can and again, those meetings are around the corner. I think that will be the opportunity to really vent all of this. Please let your frustrations be known at that meeting so they can understand and have a clear picture in order to make the right decisions regarding properties and so forth. I think the answers will be soon after that meeting. I can’t speak for Imad, but at some point there will be some direction from that point. If there’s specific questions that pertain to Plainfield, please contact Plainfield. The County doesn’t tell the Villages necessarily how to do everything. We have our minimal guidance by Ordinance, but as Randy pointed out, they required more than the County does. Thank you again for being here. You’re free to stay or go, whatever you want.

VII. CONSENT AGENDA
Consent Agenda:
1. Project Program:
• Approval for Resolution 21-10, Joint Funding Agreement with Wheatland Township Rolling Acres and Sunny Farm Acres Subdivisions Drainage Restoration and Maintenance Project Phase 1.
• Approval for Resolution 21-11, Joint Funding Agreement with Village of New Lenox-Hill View Subdivision Drainage Restoration Project.
• Approval for Resolution 21-01, Joint Funding Agreement with City of Crest Hill-Fern Street Drainage Improvement Project. (Amount came in less)
2. 2022 Meeting Schedule
Scott Killinger said you can see on the screen a list of the projects. We have awarded ones down through October 5th, through 21-09. The other 2 projects were on for November, but we didn’t have a quorum.
21-10, is in Wheatland Township and the other one is with the Village of New Lenox for drainage improvements in Hill View Subdivision. The amounts that I’m going to award are shown here.
We had Rock Creek and we had a project for Joliet, which bid busted so Joliet and I discussed that and decided to move that to next year.
When it’s all said and done, the total amount of the awards is $145,456 out of the $150,000 budgeted.
The Resolutions for 21-10 and 21-11 are on the Consent Agenda.
I also have the payout paperwork for the City of Crest Hill. Their project was actually approved for I believe $15,000. Theirs actually came in under budget and theirs is $7,206.25. That is also included in the Consent Agenda.
Crest Hill has their payout request in. If you have other projects, I need your paperwork in the next week or so. With the holidays coming up, I want to get it prepared for the January meeting. It's going to be important that we have a quorum in January, because the County's Fiscal Year ended November 30th. We can't access this money after the January meeting. So, we need to have a quorum and we need to have all that paperwork in otherwise your project isn't getting paid.
I know with the 2 new projects, they're basically already done. So, as soon as you get your project done, you can start submitting your payout requests right away and I'll put that on for January.
The last item on the Consent Agenda is the dates for the 2022 Meetings. Those were sent out so you should be able to see those.
I'll entertain questions on the Project Program.
No response.
Roll Call Vote was taken. Motion to approve the Consent Agenda was approved unanimously, 12-0.

2022 Meeting Schedule
1. USACE DUPAGE RIVER FLOOD MITIGATION PROJECT
Scott Killinger said we already talked about this because the residents were here today.
The County has just effected a contract to do some of this work for the buyouts of the residents.
The next step is for Imad and I to schedule some meetings with the residents. You heard some of their feedback today and I already was aware of all of that. Imad and I are already anticipating how the meetings are going to go and we will keep you informed.
At some point I will have Imad come back and talk to the Committee. Actually, I believe he is out of town this week.
We're going to move forward with this and hopefully something will actually happen soon.
Chairman Dykstra said you can understand that how things move is never fast enough when you have a flooding issue. I completely understand that with this situation.
Scott Killinger said I completely understand the residents concerns.
Chairman Dykstra said I think we are seeing light at the end of the tunnel for them.
VIII. REPORT OF OFFICERS, SUBCOMMITTEES, STATE'S ATTORNEY AND/OR STAFF
Scott Killinger said I believe this material was sent out to you. The first thing I have is a page from the report from the American Society of Civil Engineers. This is dated 2013.
The highlighted area says that they really don't think detention is needed in solar farms.
You guys know that we've been talking about this. I put out a couple Memorandums and there really wasn't any set guidance. The State of Illinois has no set guidance on this. Every time a solar development comes in, we get into a discussion with them about whether or not there should be detention as part of the stormwater management. It's a problem because there's really no Statutes.
The idea here is to put something clear in the Ordinance so we can point to it and say here it is. Based on this paper from the ASCE, at this point, I’m leaning towards saying we wouldn’t require detention as part of a solar development.
I also sent out some language for Section 55 definitions and I have a definition of disconnected impervious in there.
Chairman Dykstra said I did see that Scott. We’ve dealt with this when we looked at solar farms that have come in under review. That guidance that you developed and based on the State of Maryland documentation has been very helpful. I think this will just remove some of the question marks that some Villages may still have. I think it’s a good step.
Going forward, this will actually go to Land Use Committee and then ultimately to the County Board. I’m looking to make sure that you are all comfortable with what I have here. It will be opened for public hearings and further discussions at the appropriate levels.
Thomas Pawlowicz asked, the waiver on detention, is that with caveat that you plant grass or native grasses underneath the panels and the panels are so far apart that they meet your definition, correct?
Scott Killinger said that’s in the information I have that’s in 55.020. Down here it says that we’re going to add this paragraph and it’s going to say “ground cover vegetation must be maintained in good condition” etc. If there’s an access road, then the impervious area still has to comply with the “less than 25,000 square feet”. “The open space between the panels must be equal to or greater than the width”, that’s #3.
Tom, that addresses all of your questions, I believe. Am I correct?
Thomas Pawlowicz said yes.
Scott Killinger said we’re going to put this into the Ordinance, Section 55. The County will then have to change their own Chapter 164 as well. Individual Villages will have to decide whether or not they want to adopt this or make something more stringent.
Tom Weigel asked, do we have something in there that says you can’t pave underneath the panels?
Scott Killinger said we don’t have something that specifically says you can’t pave underneath the panels, but if you did that then you would have to put detention because you would exceed the 25,000 square feet. The second sentence of #2, if you put any gravel or asphalt, that counts as impervious area, so you’re back to detention.
Another thing that I want to consider is in the Zoning Code there is some references to some things. I believe this was sent out as well and I’m not going to share my screen I’m going to just refer to it.
The Zoning Code requires that the developer proposing a solar farm has to do an underground drain tile study. They also have to provide a Site Plan. So, there would be a Site Plan developed by a professional engineer as a requirement under the Zoning Code. So, in Will County, all of that would be reviewed by the Land Use Department before they issued a Permit for this kind of a facility. I think that’s important to know that there is a requirement for that.
I also wanted to put the language from the Maryland Department of the Environment in the Technical Guidance Manual. It is basically the same thing that we’ve been referring to. The difference is, we’ve been using that but it’s based on a Memo from me as the Chief Subdivision Engineer. I think we’re at the point to put this in the Code because it carries so much more weight once the County Board passes it.
Chairman Dykstra said that makes sense.
Robert Howard said I have a question regarding this. Because these are generally done in the unincorporated areas, preferably on farmland, is there any language in there if they intersect a tile? Is there any language in there that addresses that? Also, are they required to identify what it was and are they required then to actually reconnect it?
Scott Killinger said yes, in #3 of the Zoning Code, it says the owner/operator is responsible for identifying the location of all subsurface drainage systems and for immediately repairing damage to drain tiles and other drainage systems that result from construction, etc. So yes, that’s covered in what already exists in the Zoning Code.
Robert Howard said okay.
Scott Killinger said I also talked to Mark Schneidewind from the Farm Bureau about this. He said the agricultural landowners where these usually occur would prefer to not have detention because these are 25-year leases typically. Assuming that they’re going to get the land back and put it back into crop rotation at the end of the 25 years, they don’t want to have to fill in the detention pond. But on the other hand, we don’t want a lot of extra runoff, which I understand. That’s why this is one of those difficult things to figure out. The American Society of Civil Engineers determined in their study that there really isn’t a significant increase in the amount of runoff. Therefore, as long as we make sure Chairman Dykstra said when these types of projects are being presented, its good as part of the review process to require a restoration plan also. When the life of the solar field ends, they will be responsible to restore the area for that farm owner. That way the farm owner won’t have to clean up. Even if there was some detention, the owner of the solar field would have to restore that.
Scott Killinger said the Decommissioning Plan is also a requirement in the current Zoning Code. What you said is correct, but that’s already in the current Zoning Code.
I know I asked last month if any of the Villages have solar panel projects coming in and nobody said they did. We have a lot more people today. These projects are mostly in the unincorporated areas of Will County.
Tom Weigel said I think there’s one in Monee that the Village put up.
Scott Killinger said what I heard from these developers is most of these solar farms are proposed in agricultural land, because once you’re inside a Village, the price of the land is too high to make it worth it. It’s much more economically viable in the unincorporated County on agricultural property. Within reason, that’s what they’re looking for.
I talked to DuPage County and they haven’t seen any of these because they said they’d have to go on roof tops. So, it’s already impervious area so it’s not something we worry about. The price of land to do one of these stand-alone in DuPage County, it just doesn’t work.
Chairman Dykstra said it seems to me that this is well received Scott. It seems like it’s mostly clarifications from what I’m hearing as far as questions. I think it will be a good thing to add these in, because it does come up and it may come up more in the future.
Theresa O’Grady said she is going to have to go to a different meeting. Are there any other things that we will have to vote on? It looks like Tom needs to leave as well.
Scott Killinger said we’re done with the voting Theresa. I was hoping to get a Motion here that you liked the language as it is. I know we can’t do that since it’s not on the Agenda. But, based on everybody’s comments, it seems like everybody is comfortable with this language and I’m going to proceed with putting it on the Agenda for Land Use Committee next month. There will be public hearings and so on. There will be a lot of time to discuss it so if you think of something after this meeting let me know and I can put it into the discussion there.
Chairman Dykstra said assuming this will eventually be approved and the Ordinance will be modified, we will want to communicate that will all the municipalities so they have the opportunity to update their Ordinance.
Scott Killinger said Marilyn Sucoe from IDNR wanted to come and talk to us, but she wants to come to a face-to-face meeting. I actually didn't even invite her to this meeting since I knew it wasn't going to be face-to-face. At the County Board Executive Committee Meeting last week, they mentioned that we may go to in-person meetings in January, so we'll see what happens.
We're going to have some project payouts to do in January, so we're going to need a quorum. I will probably be pressing everybody to be in attendance, as will Dawn.
Scott Killinger said we have some vacant positions on the Committee. We will not do anything with those until the County Board re-districting is complete. I'm not exactly sure where that stands at this point, but I don't think it's finalized.
Tome Weigel said it is, but it's not effective until December 1, 2022.
Scott Killinger said the Staff will look at that and figure out what we're going to do then we're going to press forward and try to get some of the vacancies filled.
Scott Killinger said FEMA is proposing to change some of their regulations. There's comments due by December 13th, which is next Monday. I'm putting together some comments now. If you're interested in that, contact me and I can email you the information, or you may already be aware of it. That's something that I'm working on to have ready to submit on Monday.
Chairman Dykstra said let's just email that to everybody Scott, just in case.
Scott Killinger said I'll have Dawn email that out, that's a good idea. You can read it and see, not all of them are applicable. It talks about a myriad of subjects such as assessed valuation, replacement value, etc. They want feedback on whether or not it works. I’m going to give them some feedback on our opinion of whether or not it works. The other things like threatened and endangered species, I think my response is going to be the County does not have the expertise on Staff to determine threatened and endangered species. There’s like 18 questions, but I’ll send you out the information. If you want to respond by Monday, that’s up to you all.
IX. ANNOUNCEMENTS/COMMITTEE COMMENTS
Chairman Dykstra said the next meeting will be January 4, 2022. This will be an important meeting and we will hope that the weather cooperates with us as well. Have a safe Christmas, New Years, and whatever you're doing with family. If you're taking time off, enjoy that as well.
