A4. Approve Payment for Emergency
Purchase of New Dispenser Enclosures
for North & South Fuel Islands
Staff recommends the City Council approve
payment of $53,781.06 to Stenstrom Petroleum

emergency removal and installation of four Fuel
Dispenser Enclosures, two at the North Fuel Island

system that is well past its useful life and in need of
replacement. In addition, the State of Illinois Fire
Marshal recently noted that the dispenser base and
gallon output screens are rotted and allowing
moisture and condensation into the dispensers
resulting in failures. Temporary solutions were
completed in-house but have not held up long, and
interior components which are becoming obsolete
and difficult to obtain have again been affected.
Planning for a completely new fuel system is
underway but will take a year or two for design and
construction. Due to a 10-12 week lead time for

A6. Resolution 93-R-21, Authorizing the City
Manager to Sign the First Amendment to
the Service Agreement with Andy Frain
Servicing, Inc.
Staff recommends City Council adopt Resolution
93-R-21, authorizing the City Manager to sign a six-
month extension to the Crossing Guard contract

$329,526 (half of the regular, annual cost). The
current contract will expire on December 31, 2021.
However, the City is currently in budget discussions
regarding the expenses of the services, and it would
not be advantageous to issue a new Request for

services through June 30, 2022, finishing out the
current school year and allowing the School Boards
to plan for its new budget or develop other solutions
should the City Council seek that direction.
Funding will be from the General Fund - School
Crossing Guards - Service Agreements & Contracts
(Account 100.19.1942.62509) with a FY21 budget
of $315,000. The 2022 budget is yet to be
determined.
