Special Meeting 6/14/93 Page Five Motion to Approve an Expenditure of $5,923.50 to Radio Communications Specialists, Inc. (to upgrade the radios in the Service Department - Phase III) Mr. Busa, seconded by Mr. Basile, made a motion to approve an expenditure of $5,932.50 to Radio Communications Specialists, Inc. to upgrade the radios in the Service Department (for Phase III.) ROLL CALL: AYES: All 1VAYS: None Motion Carried Expenditure Authorized ANY OTHER MATTER THAT MAY COME BEFORE COUNCIL Mrs. Cinco said it is her understanding they do not have any need for an Executive Session. Mr. Diemert said the trial has been continued at least a month. They do not have a definite date as yet. The Judge started a criminal trial and has to finish that. He hopes to get it back on the docket for August or September. Mr. Fixler said he went out to the Sullivan property and although it is a very complex problem, the part that he wants to address this evening is just the open swale part. He said there is a grate at the north end of the property that fills in with her neighbor's water (across the street, next to--on both sides), then there is a pipe that takes this water and goes down along the side of her property. For some reason the pipe ends halfway down the property and turns into an open swale. Mr. Fixer said in examining that water, he found it is murky, discolored and has an odor. All that he is requesting at this point is that they put the additional pipe on so that water can go beyond her property-- just to fill in the open swale. He thinks this is not just her problem because everyone else's water drains into it. Mayor Rinker said he and a number of others went out last year with the Village Engineer and Building and Service Director. He said there is no question this is creating a problem for them. The issue he sees now, and he has asked in a memo, is that everyone try to stick with the program that he is working rather hard to implement. Where the Village has clear responsibility within rights-of-way, where there is clear responsibility, the Village handles those regularly. Swales are individual properiy owners' responsibilities. Mayor Rinker said he receives virtually identical calls every week. The fact that water passes through, over or from other people's properties onto an individual property owner's lot theoretically is incidental. There are a number of factors they take into consideration and they take the problems on a case-by-case basis.
