could be close to $100,000.00. Trustee Hackl asked where these funds were going to come from several times. Trustee Freeman asked when this project began and how many sidewalks the Village has done since that time. Trustee Oakley asked what the qualifications are for the person who is part of the construction observation. Trustee Fisher asked if anything can be changed or pared down to lower the costs. There are some adjustments that can be made without any issue but in order to get down to the original $200,000.00 grant, a substantial amount of rework would need to be done and the project date would be pushed back to possibly next year. Trustee Hackl questioned why the State wouldn’t be willing to re-bid the project. The State would be able to put the bid out again. The issue would be that it would have to be updated or freshened for a new bid opening prior to sending it to the State. It would definitely push it back to next year and costs might even be higher. A question was posed as to the West St. section could be removed from the project and request another bid. A motion was made by Trustee Freeman, seconded by Trustee Hood to accept the proposal from Chastain & Assoc to complete the SRTS and put aside approximately $52,500.00 to cover the costs. Trustee Oakley asked why the contingency amount wasn’t included in the additional amount requested from the State. Matt mentioned those costs are not eligible. Roll call vote: Yes – Trustees Hood & Freeman. No – Trustees Fisher, Hackl and Oakley. The motion was lost.

Trustee Oakley moved that we look at rebidding for the W Warren St portion only or how best to maximize the grant funds for construction and observation & minimize the cost to the Village. Seconded by Trustee Freeman. Trustee Freeman asked for clarification as to what the rebidding would accomplish and how it affects construction costs. Matt explained it could possibly get us down to the original grant of $200,000.00 but was unsure if any additional funds would be available from the State, should the need arise. Matt made it clear that there would be additional costs for them to go through the plans and remove what is not going to be constructed and freshen up the plans for the bid. Trustee Freeman asked if there was a sunset clause on the SRTS project. We are probably pushing it but Matt has not seen IDOT request that as long as things are moving forward. Mayor Riley asked if the denial of this project would affect any future grants for the Village. It could if we were requesting IDOT funds but not necessarily from another source. Atty Jankowicz stated he felt from the conversations, the main issue in the discussion is the construction observation costs. There are a couple approaches to deal with this single issue. Could the Village request Chastain reduce their fees or the Village look for alternatives for the construction observation? This led to a discussion as to the qualifications IDOT requires for construction observation. Mayor Riley asked if there was an estimate of costs involved with the rebid/downsizing the project. Roll call vote: Yes – Trustees Oakley, Hood & Fisher. Trustee Freeman abstained. No – Trustee Hackl. Motion carried.

VILLAGE ADMINISTRATIVE CLERK: ADMINISTRATIVE CLERK: Trustee Hackl moved and Trustee Freeman seconded to approve the Balance Sheet, pay the bills and make the appropriate transfers for June 6, 2022. VAC Hundley explained why the General and Police funds beginning balances on the spreadsheet were showing negative. The payroll was higher than estimated and the pension payments were approved after the prior balance sheet was prepared; therefore. not enough funds were approved for transfer from IL Funds. The actual accounts were not overdrawn at the bank, just on the ledger. Trustee Hackl asked what the rent payments were for the radio tower and VAC Hundley stated they were $1,000.00. Trustee Hackl then stated the Real Estate Taxes were higher than that so we may need to increase the rent. Trustee Freeman asked where he was seeing that and said the AP sheet showed the first installment of the taxes was $367.42. Trustee Hackl stated he had looked at the wrong line. Trustee Hackl asked about the veteran’s monument and if the Village was paying the expenses for it. VAC Hundley stated we pay for the lighting and Farmer’s Market supplies all the flowers. He asked who purchased the mulch. VAC Hundley stated the Village had. He stated Chad
