Agenda Item #2 - Ordinance Amending the City of Rochelle Zoning Ordinance to Allow for Dog Training Facilities in I-2 Zoning Districts
Staff Contact: Michelle Pease, Community Development Director
Summary:
The Rochelle Municipal Code District Classification list does not address dog training facilities, therefore a text amendment allowing dog training facilities with a conditional use in an I-2 (General Industry) Zone is proposed.
The Planning and Zoning Commission can recommend to City Council a text amendment to expand or alter the official Zoning Code District Classification list after review of proposed text amendment and public hearing. A public hearing was held on June 3, 2019 and the Planning and Zoning Commission voted 6-0 to recommend approval of the text amendment.
Strategic Plan Goal Application:
To promote, retain and enhance small business development.
Recommendation:
Approve an Ordinance Amending the City of Rochelle Zoning Ordinance to Allow for Dog Training Facilities in I-2 Zoning Districts

Agenda Item #3 - Sanitary Sewer System Rehabilitation 2019 Project
Staff Contact: Adam Lanning
Summary:
In 2018 RMU rehabilitated approximately 4,500 feet of sanitary sewer in the Meadowbrook area along with 16 manholes by installing a cure in place liner. This year RMU plans to line approximately 7800 feet of sanitary sewer in order to complete the restoration of that entire neighborhood north of IL Highway 38 and east of IL Highway 251. Along with the sewer lining we will also rehabilitate and line 30 manholes. On May 30th a public bid opening was held, and 3 bids were read aloud ranging from $470,964.7 to $512,634.98 with the low bidder being Visu-Sewer of Illinois, LLC.

Agenda Item #5 - Ordinance Approving an Amendment to the Intergovernmental Agreement between the City of Rochelle and the Village of Creston pertaining to the Maintenance of a Sanitary Sewer System
Staff Contact: Adam Lanning
Summary: The City of Rochelle currently assists the Village of Creston in maintaining their sanitary sewer system along with a pump station. Due to several new commitments to maintaining Rochelle’s sewer system spelled out in the upcoming NPDES permit, we have updated the existing maintenance agreement with Creston to reflect updated hourly rates along with performing routine work on weekends outside of our regular working hours. This will ensure that we commit to focusing attention on Rochelle’s sewer system. However, when there is down time we will perform the work for Creston during regular working hours. The City Manager has reviewed the amended terms of this agreement and supports these changes.
Recommendation: Approve an Ordinance Approving an Amendment to the Intergovernmental Agreement between the City of Rochelle and the Village of Creston pertaining to the Maintenance of a Sanitary Sewer System and authorizing the City Manager to sign the agreement.
Strategic Plan Goal Application: Short term routine- replacing infrastructure.

Agenda Item #6 - Resolution Authorizing a Representative to Sign Loan Documents related to the Illinois EPA low interest loan for Well 12 Radium Removal Plant
Staff Contact: Adam Lanning
Summary: As part of the well 12 radium removal project, we need to provide the Illinois EPA with a resolution which authorizes the City Manager to sign all loan agreement documents for the well 12 project.
Recommendation: Approve a Resolution Authorizing a Representative, the City Manager, to Sign Loan Documents related to the Illinois EPA low interest loan for well 12 radium removal plant.
Strategic Plan Goal Application: Short term routine- replacing infrastructure.

Agenda Item #7 - Resolution Authorizing the Purchase of an Electric Transformer
Staff Contact: Jason Bird/Toby Lindeland
Summary: On May 30th, the transformer located at the Peaker Building on Caron Road and Wiscold Drive went bad. This transformer powers up the building with our Fairbanks generators. Without the transformer we will not be able to use these units to generate and shave our load during the Critical Peak Days. These two units save the City each year about $338,902.00 in reduced transmission and capacity charges. Run season starts June 1st and goes until the end of September.
We have three quotes to replace the transformer, T&R has the best price with the best delivery of 1-2 weeks. We have prices from T&R Electric, Jerry’s Electric and Solomon. Attached with the staff report are those quotes.
There will be a cost of $15,000.00 to dispose of the old transformer. The funds for the transformer will come from the CIP budget, there was $3M in the budget for MightyVine and since they have changed their minds and are only doing phase 3 with lights the cost for that project will only be about $600,000.

0 $65,000.00
0 $15,000.00
Recommendation: Approve a Resolution Authorizing the Purchase of an Electric Transformer
