ENGINEERING -Alderman Argus, Chair
Director of Engineering Oakley introduced Emily
Traiforos, Field Director, Go21, 901 N. Pitt Street,
Suite 315, Alexandria, VA 22314, who gave a PowerPoint
presentation outlining Go21's goals to find solutions to
the nation's increasing freight transportation needs and
~
Go21
(Cont'd.)
CONSULANT/
PROPOSED
DEVELOPMENT
PROJECTS IN
TIF #6:

to create coalitions to implement these solutions; given
the greater efficiency of rail versus trucks, Go21 is
advocating for a greater focus on the nation's rail
network to allow for the shipment of a greater percentage
of the nation's freight by rail.
Ms. Traiforos stated that Go21 is a national, non-profit
organization and its representatives are traveling around
the county speaking to various groups to build support
for the group's agenda.
Director of Engineering Oakley's memo of May 26, 2006,
states that from the standpoint of creating a more
efficient national transportation network, the Go21
agenda is worthy of support, however, from a local
perspective, the adverse impacts of the local increase
in rail traffic may outweigh the regional and national
benefits.
Alderman Brookman stated that there is no local benefit
to support this group; it is not in the City's best
interest; we should not support this and, in fact, adopt
a resolution opposing the increase in freight traffic.
Alderman Murphy stated that freight traffic is going to
increase no matter what we do, but we have to keep
fighting; we should not pass a resolution; we can hold
off making a decision on whether or not we should support
this group for awhile.
Alderman Becker stated that he can't see a reason to
support this; this will increase rail traffic; this is
nothing but a special interest group that wants to
increase rail traffic.
Mayor Arredia stated that he supports the concept to
allow for the shipment of a greater percentage of the
nation's freight by rail, but he does not support the
impact this would have on Des Plaines.
Moved by Brookman, seconded by Becker, to recommend to
the City Council to deny request from Go21 (Growth
Options for the 21st Century), 901 N. Pitt Street, Suite
315, Alexandria, VA 22314, to sign the "Go21 Statement
of Principles," which represents a commitment to support
policies that would enhance rail's hauling capacity.
Mr. Brian Burkross, 2133 Webster Lane, addressed the
Committee of the Whole stating that there is a lot of
misinformation that it is cheaper to move freight by
rail; trucks are used a lot more than is reported; the
railroads need to put more money into infrastructure.
Mr. Wayne Serbin, 835 Pearson Street, addressed the
Committee of the Whole stating that we are often stopped
by trains; we have enough train traffic in our town as
it is, we don't need more.
Alderman Smith stated that we are putting our heads in
the sand if we don't realize what is happening; we should
promote how we are dealing with it; this is a reality;
we need to look for solutions; this is going to happen;
we need to help.
Motion declared carried (Aldermen Murphy, Smith and Mayor
Arredia voted no) .
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT -Alderman Becker, Chair
Alderman Becker stated that redevelopment proposals have
been received for the proposed development of a 4.9 acre
site located in TIF #6 from Raymond Management Company
and Mannheim & Higgins Redevelopment Team; Staff is
recommending that a consultant be hired to provide
financial analysis of each of the two (2) proposals,~

especially since the proposals differ in significant
ways; Staff is recommending that the City accept proposal
from Kane, McKenna & Associates, Inc., to provide
financial analysis of the proposed development projects
located within TIF #6 at a cost in the range of $5,000
to $7,500 for any single development analysis.
Mr. Brian Burkross, 2133 Webster Lane, addressed the
Committee of the Whole stating that he read that former
City employee, Bill Schneider, was associated with the
Raymond Management Company. Director of Community &
Economic Development Bleuher said that Bill Schneider's
name wa_§\.mentioned in Raymond Management Company's Ethics
Di sclosure Statement form, ~ the City has no knowledge
of his involvement. A/VO
Moved by Christiansen, seconded by Smith, to concur with
Staff recommendation and recommend to the City Council
that Mayor and City Clerk be authorized to execute
"Consulting Services Agreement TIF #6" with Kane,
McKenna & Associates, Inc., 150 N. Wacker Drive, Suite
1600, Chicago, IL 60606, to provide financial analysis
of the proposed development projects located within TIF
#6 at a cost not-to-exceed $7,500 for any single
development analysis; and Resolution R-95-06 be adopted
at appropriate time this evening. Motion declared
carried. Aldermen Sayad and Argus voted no.
PUBLIC SAFETY -Alderman Beauvais, Chair
Fire Chief Heavey reviewed his memo of June 19, 2006,
which states that the Fire Department is scheduled to
purchase a new ambulance in 2007 in accordance with the
Capital Equipment Replacement Fund (CERF), but Staff has
been informed that orders placed by July 1, 2006 will
realize a savings as prices will increase by 4% ($5,141)
thereafter; the ambulance would be delivered in 2007.
Moved by Murphy, seconded by Becker, to concur with Staff
recommendation and recommend to the City Council to
authorize purchase through the Northwest Municipal
Conference Joint Government Purchasing Program of a new
Medtec Ambulance from Foster Coach Sales, Inc., 1231 W.
Fourth Street, P.O. Box 700, Sterling, IL 61081, in an
amount not-to-exceed $128,524/2007 CERF Budgeted Funds.
Mr. Wayne Serbin, 835 Pearson Street, addressed the
Committee of the Whole stating that we should go for two
(2) ambulances at the same time; we should go for it.
Mr. Brian Burkross, 2133 Webster Lane, addressed the
Committee of the Whole asking how this purchase would fit
into the Fire Station Study. Fire Chief Heavey said the
Fire Station Study said a fourth ambulance would need to
be put into service next year.
Motion declared carried.
