Minutes of the May 5, 2016 Meeting
Location: Flossmoor Station Restaurant & Brewery, 1035 Sterling Avenue
President Schaefer called the meeting to order and led the Pledge of Allegiance. The association went
through introductions. Motion made to approve the Minutes from the April 7, 2016 meeting,
seconded and passed unanimously. There were no bills to approve.
President Schaefer then called for Committee Reports. Bob Myers [Lynwood] reported that the Audit
of the Association financial records was completed by himself and Jeff Hon [Hazel Crest]. All records
are in good order.
Pres. Schaefer discussed the upcoming PWX training. The Executive Board proposed and the
Association agreed to sponsor one Director to attend PWX this year. The cost of the conference,
transportation and lodging will be paid for by the Association. President Schaefer awarded the
sponsorship to Director Jeff Hon. Director Hon thanked the Association and responded that he will
represent the SPWDA while at PWX.
Pres. Schaefer then explained the 5-day welding class to be held May 23-27. The Training Committee
asked for a subsidy for those that are registered to attend. President Schaefer asked for a motion to
subsidize $100 per person, up to $800. Motion was made, seconded and approved unanimously.
Pres. Schaefer then went through the Concrete Flatwork Joint Bid that seven municipalities are a part
of. The bids came back low, and Homewood awarded the contract with Whiteline Construction.
Overall this was a very successful venture for those involved with the bid.
1VP Brunke asked the Directors if anyone had received a response from MWRD regarding their
submitted short term plan, and advised them that Flossmoor had received one page of comments.
Homewood had also received one page of comments.
Pres. Schaefer then gave an update on recent EPA legislation regarding lead. The six page letter
received requires municipalities to now inform all affected by any water disruption. (Main break,
meter exchange, hydrant flushing, anything to do with the water lines) There is a likelihood that all
lead service lines will have to be identified and a possibility that the lead service lines will have to be
replaced, at the expense of the municipality.
Presentation: A presentation was given regarding Vehicle Management Systems from Verizon by Mr.
Rich Wilbert.
With no other concerns, President Schaefer motioned for adjournment. Meeting adjourned.
