He stated that it has been a pleasure and he is looking forward to more years of service.

Mr. LaFontaine stated that it is estimated that the construction cost will be about $225,000 and that so far that about $171,000 has been committed. The next step is to have drawings created to build from and that a proposal has been provided from Belli and Belli. The cost for the drawings will be $15,000 and he is asking for the Boards authorization to expend the money.

THE MOTION CARRIED

CLERK Recommendation for Copiers – Clerk Monroe stated that previously a recommendation had been tabled because there was a question as to whether or not the company was providing the correct machine. She stated that after she spoke with Attorney Long that he stated lack of confidence in the company is a valid reason to not accept their bid. She also stated that it was brought to her attention that one of the company’s bids was incorrectly added to the bid tabulation, which made them the lowest bidder. However after testing the machine, it was determined that it did not meet the Village’s needs due to the fact that it was programmed for 5 by 8 ½ paper and required manual change to 8 ½ by 11 when making small sized copies, that smell of toner that it emitted and that it is loud when it is running.

Based on the above, Clerk Monroe recommended that the Board approve the lease of two Savin 4045eSP copiers from Advanced Business Tech.

Trustee Porch, seconded by Trustee Turner, made a motion to lease two Savin 4045eSP copiers from Advanced Business Tech. On roll call, the vote was:

YES: 4: Larson, Porch, Hanson and Turner
NO: 0
ABSENT: 2: Pierce and Caulfield

CITIZENS Sheri Skoog – Sheri Skoog, of 624 Meridian Way, addressed the Board to report on House Bill 750. She stated that this bill is a possible solution for educational funding reform. She provided information about the bill and then asked that her petition, with over 300 signatures, be admitted into the record. Ms. Skoog finished by providing information about a seminar regarding House Bill 750 at the College of Lake County.

Bruce Gebert – Bruce Gebert, of 490 North Avenue, stated that he was before the Board about 3 months before and that he feels that there has been a lack of follow through on his issue. He provided a copy of an ordinance that was passed in 1998 regarding annexation. He stated that over $400,000 was paid to the Village for sewer and water and that there is recapture money that should be paid back to the individuals that paid out the initial money. He stated that the Greater North Bank was not one of the original properties and they need to provide their portion of the recapture as well as the Oil Lube.

Mr. Gebert stated that he shouldn’t have to be here asking for this money and that the amount owed is a substantial amount of money. He stated that the ordinances were passed and that he has done all of the homework.

Mr. Gebert also stated that the purpose of city sewer and water is to upgrade their property and to be a part of the Village of Antioch. He stated he doesn’t understand how water and sewer can be extended but the property still remains unincorporated.

Director of Planning, Zoning and Building Silhan stated that there is not any question that this matter should be looked into. He pointed out that the 1998 cover sheet is the ordinance for annexation and that the rest of the documentation pertains to the recapture, which was passed in 2001.

Mayor Maravelas asked when in 2001. Director Silhan stated that there was a problem because the ordinance was not recorded. Mayor Maravelas asked it that happens often. Director Silhan stated that it happened in this instance and that it was finally recorded in January of this year.

Trustee Larson stated that these people paid to extend the sewer and that they are entitled to recapture. Director Silhan stated that he is not disputing that they are entitled to recapture, but he does not know the exact dollar figures and who the Dahl and Ruffin properties are. He stated that these are only a few papers out of that ordinance. He stated that the Finance Director, Attorney and possibly the Finance Committee need to look this over.

Trustee Larson asked why we aren’t looking at our records rather than asking him. Director Silhan stated that he is recommending that this be referred to the Finance Committee.

Mayor Maravelas asked if things, prior to this administration, were done incorrectly. Director Silhan stated that in his opinion it was not done correctly.

Mr. Gebert stated that he provided the information to Director Silhan in January. Mr. Gebert stated that these percentages were put in the ordinance. He also stated that he should not be doing their work to get his money back. Director Silhan stated that he agrees, but also asked for a cancelled check or the date that it was paid, but he has not received that.

Mayor Maravelas asked if Mr. Gebert refused to give him a copy of the cancelled check. Director Silhan responded that he did not receive a copy.

Trustee Larson asked why the copy for Trustee Caulfield had more pages than her copy. Mr. Gebert stated that he gave additional information to the Finance Committee Chair. Trustee Larson asked if he minded if copies of the additional information were made for all of the Trustees.

Mr. Gebert stated that he had included a copy of the deed for the property he purchased, which will increase his recapture amount. He asked if it would be a couple of weeks. Mayor Maravelas said it could be six weeks.

Director Silhan stated that he needs the legal and finance people to get involved.

Director Silhan stated that he wanted to address the annexation comment from earlier and that certain previous staff told people that the property would be in the Village because they filled out the petition.

Mayor Maravelas asked when the staff in question worked here. Director Silhan stated in 1998.

Director Silhan stated that he doesn’t assure people that just because they fill out the annexation petition that they will be annexed. He also stated that there is another piece of property that has to be annexed before the bank can be contiguous.

PLANNING, ZONING AND BUILDING Status Report: Neumann Homes’ Water Wells and Storage – Trustee Turner asked Engineer Nyberg or Director Silhan to provide an update.

Engineer Nyberg stated that since the last meeting, when the concerns with the existing system’s capacity and Neumann’s Wells and Water Tank was discussed and a decision was made to hold permits, Neumann and Smith Engineering have been diligently working on creating a schedule to drill the two shallow and one deep wells. He stated that the shallow well will be drilled, tested and with pumps in by February, according to their schedule. He also stated that would provide the additional water needed for Neumann and Pulte rather than the water that runs out to Neumann now.

Engineer Nyberg stated that based on what they have done so far, that he would feel confident issuing about 20 or 25 permits. He also stated Neumann has created a schedule of how they would like the permits dispersed as well as how they would like additional permits issued. He stated that as long as they stick to their water schedule he would feel comfortable sticking to their permit schedule.

Trustee Larson asked who put the water schedule together. Engineer Nyberg stated that Smith did.

Trustee Turner asked if the bottom line is that the storage tank would be ready by June. Engineer Nyberg stated yes, but that even if it isn’t that the two shallow wells will be enough. Trustee Turner stated that the storage tank is crucial for the other properties. Engineer Nyberg stated that they are for the school and commercial site, but they won’t be constructed for some time.

Trustee Turner asked if Director Silhan was okay with this. He stated that he was, but that some permit applications stated that they were for Clublands 1 but instead were for Clublands 2 and asked that these 7 permits be a part of the 25 that are issued.

Trustee Turner asked if the 25 permits include the 7. Rick Dalton, of Neumann Homes, stated that the 25 permits do include the 7.

Trustee Turner asked for a recommendation from staff. Engineer Nyberg stated that he recommends allowing 25 permits to be issued, including the 7 that have already been issued and then issuing more permits based on the test results of the well, issuing more based on Neumann’s schedule.

Mr. Dalton asked if staff could just issue the permits based on their comfort level, without coming before the Board. Trustee Turner stated that it could be discussed at a committee meeting.

Trustee Turner made a motion, based on staff recommendation, to issue 25 permits including the 7 that have already been issued. Trustee Porch seconded the motion. On roll call, the vote was:

YES: 4: Larson, Porch, Hanson and Turner
NO: 0
