Monday Night Council Notes - 03/16/09 Cesario Saga Ends?. The Cesario Development, a 16-home subdivision at the T-intersection of Main Street and Farnham Lane, was before the City Council for final approval. The Council was asked to pick one of two competing plans - one by Cesario and the other by the development's neighbor, Justice S. Louis Rathje. The Council asked the two parties to take 30 days to work out a compromise, but they declined. Finally, after much agonizing, the Council passed Cesario's plan, relying on the fact that it complied with all City codes and ordinances.
Hy Time. The City approved the purchase of two Ford Escape hybrids to add to its fleet. The SUV's come at a cost of $28,000 each, but are projected to save the City $7,000 in fuel costs over their lifetimes. The Council also expressed the less tangible benefits of reducing petroleum consumption and carbon emissions. This is in line with the City's long-term goal of implementing stronger green policies.
Takin It to the Streets. The City awarded $2.5 million to Fiala Paving Company of Bolingbrook, Illinois for the 2009 road resurfacing program. Streets in the West District that are due for resurfacing this year include:
(1) Childs St. (between Clinton & Gables)
(2) Crest St. (between Cul-de-sac / Roosevelt & Parkside)
(3) Delles Rd. (between Childs & Roosevelt)
(4) Lakeside Dr. (between Delles & Crest)
(5) Parkside Dr. (between Delles & Crest)
