DEPARTMENTAL OBJECTIVES Village Engineer James Soyka commented that
VILLAGE ENGINEER JAMES SOYKA 1985 had been a very busy year for the Vill-
age. He went on to highlight a few of the
items in his previously submitted status report:
J
1.
Access Avenue. As of that afternoon Staff met with the Federal Highway Admini-
stration at the Illinois Department of Transportation. He stated, "I feel we
have a preliminary 'go' for the final design." He reported that while the
Lake County Region Council of Mayors have only.$360,000 for $8,000,000 worth
of projects for fiscal 1986 (starting October, 1985.), there is $8,400,000 that
will be available if Congress funds the FAUS system for fiscal 1987 to 1990
(starting 1986). Congressional funding looks likely from all indications.
Deerfield's project ranks favorably with other projects and will have a very high
priority because of the traffic generated by the project. If money is available,
it should be available around October 1986 for construction. Mayor Forrest recom-
mended waiting for the funds. Other Board members concurred.
Traffic Signal at Deerfield Road and Castlewood Lane. The signal has been oper-
ational since August 20, 1985. However, a coordinating unit, not yet delivered,
needs to be installed at Wilmot and Deerfield Roads which will time the signal
to permit continuation of traffic from Wilmot Road west on Deefield Road.without
interruption. Traffic flow will be monitored to minimize back ups at the tollway
ramp and Tennaqua Lane.
Questioned about delaying reconstruction of the guardrail and walkways on the
Deerfield Road bridge at the West Fork, Mr. Soyka stated that the deterioration
was cosmetic and not hazardous. Asked about extension of the Pfingsten /Lake Cook
bridge, Mr. Soyka explained why it would not adversely affect backwater during
flood stage. He went on to say that the Brickyard relief interceptor sewer was
under design and can be built during late fall and early winter to be in opera-
tion before the spring rains.
The Board thanked Mr. Soyka for his report.
SANITARY SEWER PROGRAM The Board considered the Staff report on
REPORT OF STAFF the Sanitary Sewer Program and.discussed
briefly the resurfacing of Westgate Road
and Orchard Lane. Manager Franz reported that of 199 property owners needing
to disconnect their downspouts,.88 have not yet responded to two earlier letters
sent to them. A third letter is going out at once, and it is Staff's intent
to have cooperation or take enforcement action for not only downspout disconnect-
ions but for extensions as well, sometime in October prior to bad weather. In
the next newsletter residents will be again asked to comply regarding extensions.
