Public Works and Utilities Committee Meeting October 29, 2026

The Public Works and Utilities Committee meeting, dated October 29, 2026 in the metadata (the transcript identifies the meeting as October 27), considered several water and public works projects. The committee recommended that the Village Board include water-tower logo concepts S1 and T1 as bid alternatives in the 2027 water-storage-facility exterior-coating project. It also approved recommending the 2026 update to the Village water-system master plan, which identifies future storage and system improvements, including an elevated tower planned for 2028 and water-main replacements coordinated with street projects.

The committee recommended moving forward with Town & Country Engineering’s stormwater-utility evaluation, discussing a phased feasibility study and potential later implementation work; members also considered issuing an RFP but cited staff workload and the firm’s experience and rates. It recommended approval of an amendment to Rupert & Milky’s engineering-services task order for the Well 3 rehabilitation project, intended to consolidate design-scope changes and close out the design work; no contract amounts were stated. The committee also recommended the 2026–2027 snow-and-ice control program, including a trial of pre-wetting brine when conditions are suitable. No specific dollar amounts or contract values were provided.
