The Chair called the meeting to order at 7:40 P.M. The Chair introduced the members of the Board, indicating their staff position with the City and the requirement that they be on the Board and informed those present that the Engineer for the Board is the Acting President of the Board in the absence of a Director of Public Works. The Chair then explained the purpose for the Board and the need to follow • state statutes in carrying out the special assessment proceedings. He also explained the mandate of the City Council in.1979 for paving all of the unimproved streets which, at the time, represented approximately 14.5 miles of streets. He explained the cost -sharing process as put forth by Resolution 72-R-74 which was reaffirmed by the City Council in its mandate of 1979. He described the action taken by the Board and the City Council to date concerning these unimproved streets and indicated that approximately four (4) miles of streets remain to be paved. The Chair then turned the meeting over to Mr. Robert Shonk who explained the special assessment procedures as they relate to collections and billing. Mr. Shonk informed those present of the ability to make payments over a ten year period on the assessment with 7% simple interest being paid on the unpaid balance annually. He also stated that the billings for the assessment are initiated by the City of Evanston and are sent out on the 15th of December and become due on January 2nd of the following year. He explained that when the project is complete the necessary papers are filed in the Circuit Court of Cook County and at that time the Court will order collection. There being no further questions concerning the billing and collection procedures, the Engineer for the Board described the scope of the project and the relation of it to the Engineer's Estimate. He also indicated that in calculating the assessments that the 2/3 Rule would have made the cost per assessable foot approximately 4255.00 and therefore the maximum amount of $99.00 was used. He also explained that the indirect assessment would be 1/4 of the $99.00 or 424.75 per foot. • Page -2- Public Hearing S.A. 1372 • The Engineer for the Board, with the use of visual aids present, explained the overall design and answered questions concerning drainage, the manner in which water from the street would enter the sewer system. He also explained thAt 4" restrictors would be placed in the catch basin outlets t4 metal ,4"T }H the strets.for a short period of time during a heavy storm. He -pointed out, as part of the design, that a curb and drainage structure was to be placed on the University of Northwestern's Dyche Stadium Parking Lot to protect the unpaved alleys adjacent to said parking lot. Mr. Adler stated his concern that the placement of the curb and drainage structure on Northwestern University's property would cause additional basement flooding problems. A discussion ensued in which Mr. Figurelli explained the existing sewer system in the area and also informed those present of the current study being made to determine solutions to basement flooding problems in this area. The Engineer for the Board stated that there are approximately 16 drainage basins within city limits and that each one would be studied for possible solutions for flooding basement problems and currently the drainage basins for this area was being studied as a pilot program for solutions as well as setting policy in addressing basement flooding problems throughout the City. He also stated that the catch basin which will be installed on Northwestern University's property will be monitored and if need be, a smaller restrictor will be placed in its outlet. He informed those present that Northwestern University was contributing approximately $11,000.00 for the special assessment portion of the project for installation of the new sewer on Livingston Street and that they are bearing the total cost of the curb, catch basins, bushes and necessary restoration on • their property in an aggregate amount of 0,000.00. Mr. Tonkinson informed those present that the need for the curb and drainage structure was brought about due to the water on Northwestern University's Parking Lot during a storm, aggravating the flooding problems in the unpaved alleys adjacent to the parking lot and back yards west of.the alley. There being no further questions concerning the design, the Engineer for the Board, with the use of visual aids; explained the manner and derivation for assessing the affected parcels for the improvement. He described the definition of direct assessment and the indirect assessment and indicated that the assessment indicated benefit received by the land parcel from the improvement. A discussion ensued in which the Engineer for the Board stated that all assessments were indirect and that in each case the property owner could calculate their assessment based upon the cost per assessable foot of $24.75 applied along the short side of their lot or in the case of two parcels abutting Livingston Street, along the long side of their lots. The Chair then requested other concerns and receiving none, requested a motion from the Board. Mr. Figurelli made a motion to recommend to the City Council that the special assessment process proceed and to adhere to the first resolution of the Board. Mr. Shonk seconded the motion. The members of the Page -3- Public Hearing, S. A. 1372 • Board then signed the recommendation and the adhering resolution.
