Trustee Johnson moved to approve the consent agenda items with the removal of the Resolution Supporting the SAM Planning Area Transportation Improvement Plan. Trustee Williams seconded the motion. President Michels then called for a roll call vote.

President Michels opened the item for discussion and led the discussion by stating that he had been contacted by developers that are opposed to the increase and that they further suggested financial consultant take a look at the numbers. The feeling was that the need for the improved water system is not totally attributable to new growth. EDC Director Clark stated that he would like to run some numbers as this will affect the economic growth of Sugar Grove if residential development is slowed, because commercial needs more rooftops. Trustee Wolf stated new development should pay their own way and that the existing residents should not face increased water rates and in his opinion a water tap on fee increase is appropriate. Trustee Bohler stated that he agreed with the numbers that have been given by EEI and recommended by staff. Trustee Geary suggested a slow implementation. After much discussion it was agreed that residential tap on’s should be adjusted and that commercial tap on’ need further consideration. Staff was directed to bring this item back, increasing residential tap on’ only. Trustee Johnson moved to table the Resolution Amending Water Tap on Fees. Trustee Williams seconded the motion. President Michels called for a voice vote and all members in attendance voted Aye in a voice vote. Motion Carried.

Trustee Renk asked if there had been any other complaints received in conjunction with the work that is being performed by the Windstone Home Owners Association while removing the silt from their retention pond. Director of Public Works, Anthony Speciale answered no, the work is not going as planned it is not being sprayed it is coming out more slowly and is just being spread directly on the ground.

President Michels asked about the wild flower program. Director of Public Works Speciale answered it is a slow progress and the Village’s landscape consultant has been hired by IDOT to over see the work for IDOT so a new consultant will have to be found. The Village has 3 years to complete the project.

The Board discussed the request by Mr. James Rich to live in his establishment and did not find it to be in the best interest of the Village. Staff was instructed to follow procedures for violation of the zoning ordinance but to also inform Mr. Rich that he was welcome to file a petition for rezoning.

The Board reviewed the information presented and directed staff to conduct a survey of residents to see if the cart program was desired by the community. Photos should be placed on the web site so that the residents can view the carts.

The Board discussed the incentive ordinance and directed to staff to place the ordinance on the September 3^rd agenda for approval, changing the incentive language to reflect that the incentive should be equal to the amount of the water tap-on fee in place at the time of the tap-on request.
