Presentations:
AECom Lake Michigan Study
Representatives from AECom gave a presentation on AECom Lake Michigan Study.
Alderman Frieders asked a question about the easements. He wanted to know when talking about calculating the costs ofpurchasing the easements, would those be considered to be purchased by the municipalities or is this talking about actually buying private property. The representatives answered him. Alderman Frieders asked about Yorkville's share, and he was answered. There was discussion in regards to the individualized costs among Alderman Frieders, AECom representatives, and City Administrator Olson. Alderman Frieders asked what would be the contingency plan ifthe water supply is cut off for some reason. The representative said it would take about 3 to 5 days to get back up and running. The representatives recommend keeping the area wells operational. Alderman Frieders asked if someone upstream ofYorkville could cut offthe water for any reason. The representative stated the City is going to have whatever is negotiated. Alderman Colosimo wanted to know ifthe Dupage water commission was an appointed or elected body. The representatives answered him stating the board is appointed by the Mayor and the county board. Alderman Colosimo asked how the rate is controlled. The answer was that the rates are controlled by the City of Chicago. Alderman Colosimo's concern is that Yorkville's water rates will be controlled by people that Yorkville residents have no power to elect or appoint. Yorkville is at mercy of whatever rates Dupage County and the City of Chicago choose to charge. The representatives stated that the increase cannot go up more than the cost of inflation, and it is the City's duty to negotiate its own contract. City Administrator Olson commented that it would be doubtful that the rates would be dramatically increased but there is no guarantee ofthat. Alderman Colosimo expressed concern that at the end of any given term the City could be shut off.The representative stated that the City ofEvanston has renewed its lease before the end of its term in the past. City Attorney Orr commented on the specific routing of the water to the City ofHarvey. City Administrator Olson stated the pipeline ends in Yorkville with the potential ofbranching North and South. City Attorney Orr stated that a 3 to 5 day storage of water is recommended. Alderman Colosimo assumes a looping system similar to the City of Harvey would add more costs. City Administrator Olson stated that the additional water towers for storage may be necessary. Alderman Frieders estimated a total storage capacity of 7 million gallons, at a minimum. Mayor Golinski stated a rationing program could be used to limit demand. The representative stated currently Yorkville shows having 4.3 million gallon storage capacity. The representative estimated that Yorkville has more than 3 day storage currently. Alderman Koch asked what the plan was ifthere was a break in the line. The representative said the water commission keeps a couple of contractors on call 24 hours for any such emergency, and the contractors are very well prepared. There was more discussion among the Alderman, City Administrator Olson, and Mayor Golinski. Mayor Golinski thanked the AECom representatives
