INTERGOVERNMENTAL
COOPERATION AGREEMENT – GREENWOOD ACRES DRIVE
Mr.
Ray Bockman, County Administrator, said that this agreement, among other things,
sets forth the agreement between the City of DeKalb and the County regarding
funding for the eastern section of the Greenwood Acres Drive Construction
Project. It incorporates the Curran
agreement and allows the County to jointly exercise with the City their powers
to waive the bidding requirements on the western section.
The project is moving along and there are still quite a few details that
need to be finalized yet. The City
of DeKalb will act on this issue soon. He
further stated that there would be a curve at the Commonwealth Edison line
because there could not be a resolution with the people that they were
negotiating with.
Ms.
Leifheit asked Mr. Bockman if the area labeled “western section” on the map
is where the subdivision is to be built?
Mr. Bockman said yes.
Moved by Ms. Tobias, seconded by Mr. Hutcheson, and it was carried
unanimously to accept the Intergovernmental Cooperation Agreement on Greenwood
Acres Drive and to forward it to full board for their approval.

TO THE REGIONAL PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION
Chairman
Pritchard stated that this Amendment to the Regional Planning Commission
resolution is to include two more municipalities to the commission. Those
communities are the Village of Malta and the Village of Lee.
Also included are the names of the members and the alternates.
Moved by Ms. Leifheit, seconded by Mr. Hoffman, and it was carried
unanimously to accept the Amendment to the Regional Planning Commission
Resolution and to forward it onto the full board for approval.
APPROVAL
OF THE COUNTY BOARD AGENDA
Mr.
Bockman reviewed the county board agenda for the board meeting to be held on
June 19, 2002.
Moved by Mr. Hutcheson, seconded by Mr. Hoffman, and it was carried
unanimously to accept the county board agenda as presented by Mr. Bockman.
Chairman Pritchard mentioned to the committee that at the Administrative
Services Committee it was suggested that an Ad Hoc Committee should be formed
for the jail plan consideration. He
said that Ms. Leifheit, as Chairman of the Public Services Committee, Sheriff
Scott and himself will caucus and present names to this committee to appoint to
the Ad Hoc Committee. This should
happen next month, he further stated.
GENERAL
DISCUSSION
Ms. Tobias, Chairman of the Public Policy Committee, said that her
committee is still pursuing various towns to meet with them and their city
councils. Some of the other issues they are pursuing are:
promotion of volunteerism, election day workers and how some counties
around the country have recently passed legislation that allows county workers
to work on election day at the polls or as election judges.
Mr. Hoffman, Vice-Chairman of the Administrative Services Committee, said
that they reviewed the annual audit, the Sheriff’s request to rent jail space
and the State Budget. He said that
they also were updated on the County’s Health Insurance.
Mr. Hutcheson, Chairman of the Planning & Regulations Committee, said
that the Amendment to Chapter 6 of the DeKalb County Code Regarding Hours of
Sale of Liquor refers to a country club. We
currently have two liquor license holders in the County and one of them, the
country club, would like to sell liquor to their patrons starting at 10:00a.m. He said that they did a small survey around the area and
found that the County would be very much in line with other communities who are
allowing the hours of sale to golf courses to be earlier.
Mr. Hutcheson, Chairman of the Public Building Commission, said that
there would be a Public Open House for the new Legislative Center to be held
Wednesday, June 19, 2002 from 4:30p.m. to 7:00p.m.
Ms. Leifheit, Chairman of the Public Services Committee, said that Ms.
Joy Gulotta, the Extension Office Director, updated the committee about their
services and the Master Gardener Program. They
also had an update from the Sheriff about the jail population issue.
Moved by Ms. Leifheit, seconded by Mr. Hutcheson, and it was voted
unanimously to adjourn the meeting.
Respectfully submitted,
