FINANCE & ADMINISTRATION Alderman Smith, Chair
Moved by Beauvais, seconded by Brookman, to recommend to
the City Council approval of the June 16, 2008 -Warrant
Register, in the total amount of $3, 263, 940 .14, and

PUBLIC WORKS -Alderman Argus, Chair
Director of Public Works Dusckett reviewed his memo of
June 4, 2008 regarding the bid award to reset, clean and
seal the brick paver sidewalks in the downtown business
district; on May 19, 2008, the City Council had referred
this matter back to Staff for further review.
Director Dusckett presented pros and cons of the various
options, i.e. plain concrete, stamped concrete, concrete
pavers -common, concrete pavers -architectural and clay
brick; because some of the proposed areas for improvement
also have potential for redevelopment, it may not be in
the best interest to install stamped concrete prior to
redevelopment; as an intermediate measure, Staff
recommends the City award the bid for brick paver
resetting and sealing to improve the appearance of the
existing pavers and prevent trip hazards.
Moved by Beauvais, seconded by Brookman, to concur with
Staff recommendation and recommend to the City Council
to award bid for Brick Paver Resetting and Sealing in the
downtown business district to the lowest bidder,
Copenhaver Construction, Inc., 121 Center Drive,
Gilberts, IL 60136, at a unit cost of: Clean & Seal -
$8/sq. yd.; Resetting -$8/sq. ft.; Install New -$12/sq.
