' STORM SEWER REFERENDUM: Alderman Moehling made the following report: "Your Committee on Sewer has investigated the above and has found the plans and'specifi- cations prepared by the City Engineer for a major improvement to the system of sewers in Des Plaines were discussed by and between the members of the Sewer '(1 3- 2/18/63 Committee, the Mayor and the City Engineer. These plana and specifications are in the hands of every alderman, accompanied by a map of .the city showing existing sewer mains and the improvement contemplated in the sewer extension proposed under the plans. Council has in the past (by unaminous vote on July 16, 1962) authorized the City Engineer to prepare said plans and specifications for sewer improvements, the project to be financed by bonds issued under the authority of a public referendum. Although additions to or deletions from the projected improvemectB may hereafter be made upon recommendation of,the aldermen, the cost of the project set out in the plans before the Council at this meeting is estimated to be approximately $2,280,216.00. "Also discussed by the Sewer Committee, the Mayor and City Engineer was the date for presentation of the bond referendum. It was,the consensus of this group that the most advantageous time for presentation of the issue before the residents of Des Plaines was the April general election, the fire bond referendum on the same ballot to the contrary notwithstanding. It was agreed that intensive Public - relations by all members of the City Council -and all city officials will be re- quired to bring out a favorable vote in April. "The project, if consumated, will provide.extensive, city-wide improvements to a storm water sewer situation which otherwise will continue to worsen with time. The attention of the aldermen is called to certain inescapable facts, predented in Mr. Fletcher's report that more and more open land which formerly absorbed and held surface water is being built upon by non-absorptive surfaces such as roof tops; pavements, sidewalks, etc., without a sufficient increase in sewer capacity to handle the resulting continual increase in storm water run-off. The diversion of storm water into large sewer mains which will be provided by the proposed sewer extension should relieve our present combination storm and sanitary sewers 'to the point that flooding of residential basements should be substantially eliminated, except for extreme conditions. Even though the residents in some sections of the city may be somewhat remote from one or more of the storm sewer mains to -be in- stalled under the proposed extension, all residents of the city nevertheless bene- fit from the installation of sewers in other parts of the city since the sewage handled. by new sowers will relieve the sewage load formerly carried by the old sewers. "We, your Committee on Sewer, therefore recommend that this Council approve the proposed Plans and Specifications, and that the issue be placed on the ballot of the April General Election, and.that-the City Attorney prepare the necessary ordinance authorizing the referendum. It is further recommended that'the re- ferendum also approve the inclusion of two - one million gallon water storage tanks and.a bridge over Weller Creek on Washington St. These additional improve- ments will raise the total cost of the improvements to about $2,660,000.00." The motion was made by Alderman Moehling and seconded by Rateike to approve the report.
