Old Business items discussed:
♦ Public Works Truck #1 has been put out of service. Check engine light came on, Dan does not know why. ♦ Took truck #1 to Reynolds to have check engine light checked, also the manifold gasket is bad, and needs
repaired. D.O.C.A.S. Gottwalt asked for Reynolds to check truck over and give a quote on what is bad, and needs repaired or replaced. Quote came in at over $12,000.00. Did not have repaired. Take truck to Dan’s Automotive and the Tandem Shop in East Moline for quote.
♦ Loran Rains, Village Engineer and D.O.C.A.S. Nick Gottwalt went and checked out of erosion area that need repaired.
o End of Cliff Court, the stormwater runs down to the turn-a-round and misses the storm sewer drain and jumps the shallow curb. This is causing erosion on the back side of curb and starting to undermine the roadway.
For temporary fix need to add rip rap to help stop the erosion, would last maybe a year or two.
Phase 2 would be extended storm drain to creek.
o Greenwood Avenue alley meets the concrete apron. This is starting to erode due to storm water, which in past erosion it unearthed the sanitary sewer main.
o Whispering Oaks erosion is cutting into the resident’s yard, 30 yards off wash out rip rap. Repair just using rip rap would last maybe 10-15 years with maintenance during that time. To fix properly is estimated at $10,000.00 to $15,000.00 rip rap and erosion control product. The erosion product allows grass to grow between stones/pavers to form a root system, can mow over but will promote root growth. This type of repair life span is 40-50 years.
o IMEG is to come out and do the structural engineering inspection on the Mansur Avenue bridge near Mansur Lane on November 13th or 15th. Then report will be given to the Village, the bridge needs some repairs and maintenance just looking at it.
