B) APPROVAL OF UPFITTING THE POLICE DEPARTMENT’S 2022 F150 RESPONDER BY JACOB HEISER, NOT TO EXCEED $3,000
The Police Department has received the previously approved and purchased 2022 F150 Responder Pickup. The Police Department has begun purchasing the equipment to prepare the responder for the road, including radar, a gun rack, and computer. Also needed is the purchase and installation of equipment for sirens and lighting for the responder. While a $2,500 purchase does not need Council approval under the City’s Purchasing Policy, this item has been placed on the agenda for transparency purposes because a quote has been received by both an employee, Jacob Heiser, and Veto Enterprises, with Heiser being the lower quote. Additionally, the Police Department has utilized Heiser in the past, who has done great work in a timelier manner. The quote also includes work for $500 to remove a camera from one squad and install it in the new responder, which Veto did not provide a quote for. Moving the camera from one squad to another as opposed to buying new saves approximately $6,000.
C) APPROVE A RESOLUTION APPROVING AND AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTION OF A FINAL PLAT OF SUBDIVISION
The Plan Commission held a meeting on May 19, 2021for the purposes of considering a Final Plat of Subdivision for Margaret’s Subdivision. If approved, this Final Plat will combine two residential lots in the Derby Estates Subdivision and vacate an easement between the lots. There are not any utilities within the easement. The property owner has requested this subdivision because they wish to build a home over the current property line between the lots. If approved, the new lot meets standards within the Unified Development Ordinance. The Plan Commission unanimously recommended approval with the conditions outlined in the attached Resolution.
D) APPROVE A RESOLUTION FOR MAINTENANCE UNDER THE ILLINOIS HIGHWAY CODE
The Illinois Department of Transportation requires that the City approve and file annually a Resolution appropriating Motor Fuel Tax funds for the purpose of maintaining streets. During Fiscal Year 2022-2023, street maintenance costs utilizing Motor Fuel Tax funds amounts to $162,000.
