A) APPROVE AND AUTHORIZE THE MAYOR TO EXECUTE A GENERAL CONDITIONS AGREEMENT FOR PROFESSIONAL SERVICES WITH FEHR GRAHAM FOR MATERIALS REQUIRED TO APPLY FOR AN IEPA LOW INTEREST LOAN NOT TO EXCEED $78,000
In the packet is a proposal and agreement with Fehr Graham to apply for an IEPA low interest loan (including design engineering). The purpose of applying to the IEPA Low Interest Loan is for the replacement of lead service lines. Public Works has been actively working to complete an inventory to establish a list of identified lead service lines that require replacement. Fehr Graham has had great success in applying for IEPA Low Interest Loans and receiving forgiveness from the IEPA. If the application is approved without forgiveness, the City could at that time decide whether or not to take out the loan. State law requires that the City create an inventory of lead service lines and begin replacing no less than 7% per year, which could be approximately 15 lead service lines per year. If the City were to borrow funds and/or receive forgiveness, the project would be done in a 1-2 year time frame. The City also received a proposal from Baxter and Woodman for $64,980. Staff is recommending the agreement with Fehr Graham due to their success with receiving forgiveness for large IEPA loan projects and recommendations from other local communities.
B) APPROVE AN ORDINANCE AMENDING TITLE 3, CHAPTER 3, LIQUOR CONTROL, SECTION 8 OF THE CITY CODE OF THE CITY OF GENOA
The City of Genoa has received a request from an existing business owner for a liquor license. The business would most appropriately fall under the City’s “R Liquor License” which allows the sale of beer, wine, and ale at a restaurant or banquet facility. The business will also likely add on the alcoholic liquor add on as well as the outdoor seating add on. The Council is considering this amendment to add an additional R liquor license.
C) APPROVE AN ORDINANCE AMENDING TITLE 9 OF THE MUNICIPAL CODE OF THE CITY OF GENOA
This ordinance adopts the following building codes by reference with amendments as detailed in the ordinance: 2012 International Building Code; 2012 International Fire Code; 2012 International Mechanical Code; 2012 International Property Maintenance Code; 2012 International Residential Code; 2012 International Existing Building Code; 2012 International Energy Conservation Code; 2011 National Electrical Code; 2014 Illinois Plumbing Code 77 IL Admin Code 890; 2012 Life Safety Code; and the 2019 Illinois Accessibility Code.
