Old Business
A. Streets – Mr. Lewis is working on his list of in house street repairs that his crews will
work on. Joe Hughes, William Catalano and John Uhl are in the process of doing a street review and will report back with a long term priority list upon completion of their study.
The committee discussed street specification requirements for the Village of Godfrey. It was discussed to have more stringent requirements. Mr. Orrill made a motion to have AECOM review the current Village of Godfrey Street Specifications. Mr. Hughes seconded. Motion carried.
Mr. Weber suggested picking out half or a complete subdivision to have a professional contractor fill cracks in those streets. The objective is to have staff of the Village on hand to watch and learn their process. No action.
Mr. Lewis is having staff conduct road repairs in D’Adrian and South Hanser. Micro Paving projects on the table are Greenwood, Doral, Belmont, Tremont and Springhaven.
B. Sanitary Sewer- IEPA is currently reviewing the Village submittal. It has 90 days to
respond. Work continues toward tying in the Villa Marie interceptor to the Villa Marie/Milsprings line. Alton has signed the IEPA application. There is an area that may require upgrading the existing 10” line. A diverter structure may be an option. Modeling continues by Heneghan and Associates.
Modeling is also being conducted for the Lewis & Clark Apartment area. More information will follow in the next few weeks.
Mr. Uhl met with Tim Lowe to go over drawings submitted for the high speed rail project for the relocation of the Godfrey sewer line within the Union Pacific Railroad right of way.
