and Engineer for the Board

Members Absent: Thomas. Olkowski, Superintendent of Street Department
others Present: Those indicated on the attached attendance sheet
The Board held a Public Hearing for the proposed paving of Culver Street from
Crawford Avenue to Prospect Avenue, Special Assessment 1374, at 7:30 P.M. in
Room 2401 of the Civic Center located at.2100 Ridge Avenue, Evanston., Illinois.
The Chair called the meeting to order at 7:45 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. He also informed those present
that Mr. Olkowski would not be present due to a prior committment.
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. Shonk who explained the special
assessment procedures as they relate to collections and billing. In response
to an inquiry, Mr. Shonk explained the relationship of the assessment to the
value of the parcels being assessed and indicated that to the best of his
knowledge, the interest on the assessments are currently tax deductible. Mr.
Shonk informed those present of the ability to make payments over a ten year
period on the assessment with a 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. Mr. Shonk also
informed those present of the ability to make payments either totally or to
pay more than one installment at a given time.
There being .no further questions concerning the billing and collection
procedures, the Engineer for the Board described the scope of the project and
the relationship of it to the Engineer's Estimates. He also indicated, at the
request of the Ward Aldermen, that alternate types of paving were examined and
that the one estimate is for paving the street with an asphalt material
is

6/2/88 Public Hearing
• whereas the other estimate, indicated on .the Notice of Time and Place of
Public Hearing, is for paving the street with concrete. He indicated that the
estimate for paving with asphalt is $85,654.38 and the estimate for paving
with concrete is $95,813.72. These estimates include Engineering and LpgAl
Costs. He also indicated, that in calculating the assessment that the 2/3
rule was used as the cost per assessable foot for paving with asphalt is
$86.24 and with concrete is $96.67. Both costs per assessable foot are less than
the $99.00 maximum allowed. He further stated that these costs are based upon
the engineer's estimates and may be lowered should more favorable bids be
received but could not be greater than the $99.00 per foot should bids be
higher than the estimates..
The Engineer, with the use of the visual aids, described the project. He
described the width of the street, the type of curbs that were to be
installed, the replacement of parkway features, driveways and sidewalks
that would be replaced in kind and the drainage system with 4" restrictors
placed within the new catch basins. In response to inquiries concerning
existing basement flooding, both Mr. Figurelli and.Mr. Tonkinson assured
those present that the paving of this street will not have a positive nor
negative effect on the flooding conditions that exist. The Engineer for the
Board covered the necessary length of time required for the required legal
steps attending to the process and stated .that the Board had made a
committment to bring about the paving of this street in 1988 if possible.
A discussion ensued in which the Engineer stated that he would not recommend
paving the street if it were too late in the year to complete the project in
1988.
• In response to,parking and traffic problems caused by the day school located
at the northeast corner of Crawford.and Culver, the Engineer stated that he
had talked to the traffic engineer and was assured that because the street is
a one way street, parking can be allowed on both sides. He also stated that
after the street is paved, it.will be examined for traffic problems created
by parking and, if necessary., parking areas can be restricted.
With the use of the visual aids, the Engineer described the meaning of direct
and indirect assessment and the manner ofassessing the properties for the
paving of Culver Street.
The Chair then requested other concerns and receiving none, requested a motion
from the Board. Mr. Shonk 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. Figurelli seconded the motion: The motion passed
unanimously. The members of the Board then signed the recommendation and the
adhering resolution. The Chair informed those present that the report and
recommendation, along with the Ordinance, would be presented to the
Administration and Public Works Committee at its meeting of June 13, 1988.
