RESOLUTION#2000-09—PEDESTRIAN SAFETY PROJECT
President Hartstein reviewed the background of the proposed resolution.
Mr.Balling further explained the fmancial breakdown for the project,concluding that he believes this is a good
agreement and he would recommend that the Board approve the agreement.
Lengthy discussion regarding the specific details of this agreement ensued,during which Mr.Balling answered
several questions from the Board.
In answer to a question from Trustee Reid,Mr.Balling stated that the energy and maintenance cost of the light
would be approximately$1,800 per year; and a crossing guard would cost approximately$3,700 per school year.
Staff will investigate and report back to the Board on insurance liability with regard to the overpass.
Moved by Hendricks,seconded by Glover to pass Resolution#2000-09,a resolution to approve an agreement
between the Village of Buffalo Grove,the Buffalo Grove Park District,the Aptakisic-Tripp School District, and the
Buffalo Grove Rotary Club concerning the proposed Buffalo Grove Pedestrian Safety Enhancement Project,
contingent up the confirmation of the availability of the state grants for the implementation of the program and also
contingent upon the extension of the existing bid for the overpass.
Trustee Braiman thanked District 102 for their help in this project;he has a concern about the entire concept;he
briefly reviewed the history of this project;he does not like to have overpasses; it is a major expense,and he does
not believe it will be used.
In answer to a question from Trustee Reid,Mr.Balling stated that he believes the 60/40 split would also apply to
cost overruns;that is how the agreement is drafted and he believes that is the fairest way to proceed. Trustee Reid
agrees with much of what Trustee Braiman has stated,but he would be willing to go ahead because a commitment
has been made,however,he believes the greater benefit is to the park system,and he believes it is appropriate for
the Park District to carry a greater share of the burden.
Trustee Marienthal wonders whether this is economically feasible, and whether or not it makes sense to spend that
amount of money for this particular item;he also agrees with much of what Trustee Braiman stated.
Trustee Berman asked about alternatives that have been investigated regarding the overpass between Farrington and
the park;Mr. Balling responded to Trustee Berman.
Trustee Reid stated that he would like to have someone research whether or not IDOT has warrant criteria for
overpasses.
Trustee Marienthal asked Mr.Boysen to find out what the cost was of the overpass on Dundee Road just east of
Schoenbeck Road.
Trustee Hendricks believes this is an opportunity to make something happen which will benefit the schools,the
parks and the Village.
Trustee Glover thinks this is something that needs to be built to provide a safe way of crossing a busy highway.
Trustee Braiman again stated that he is not convinced that this will be used;he believes it is a large cost that will not
be effectively used.
