Sierra Club Notifies MWRD of Plans for Wetlands in Schaumburg

5/23/2022

0 Comments

 
Metropolitan Water Reclamation District (MWRD) Board Meeting
May 19, 2022

Public Speaker:

  • A representative from the Sierra Club was the public speaker and he wanted the MWRD to be aware what is planned for the wetlands located on 55 acres near Rodenburg and Irving Park roads next to the Schaumburg Metra Station.  In 2018 the village of Schaumburg sold this land to Experior Transportation and the plan is to build a corporate headquarters, warehouse space and fueling station with storage tanks for trucks on top of the wetlands.  This will upset the natural ecosystem and destroy the natural flow of water, disperse wildlife, leaks in fuel storage tanks could contaminate underground water table, and the neighborhood and school will be exposed to polluted air.

​Board Action:
  • The Board passed a resolution recognizing May as Asian/Pacific American Heritage Month and honored Asian Americans Advancing Justice Chicago, a nonprofit organization that has a “mission to advance civil and human rights for Asian Americans and to build and promote a fair and equitable society for all.”
  • MWRD received the Government Finance Officers Association Distinguished Budget Presentation Award for its 2021 budget.  A budget that is comprehensive and understandable improves transparency for residents and assures that tax dollars are being spent appropriately.  To win this award MWRD leaders and the financial team met demanding criteria showing their commitment and professionalism.
  • The board approved authority to advertise a  $11.4 million contract to furnish and deliver polymer.  Polymer is used in the wastewater treatment plants to create larger waste particles that can separate from water and to help manage the process of drying and condensing  biosolids.  The use of polymer makes the treatment process more efficient and cheaper.
  • Commissioner Davis brought up the subject of rain barrels.  These barrels capture rainwater from roofs and keep this water out of the sewer system helping to prevent sewer overflows and flooding.  Rain barrel water is naturally free of chlorine, lime and calcium.  Rain barrels can be ordered from MWRD.

MWRD Commissioners Hear from Departments as Part of 2021 Budget Process

11/9/2020

0 Comments

 
Special Meeting of the MWRD’s Committee on the Budget & Employment
November 5, 2020


On October 13, the Executive Director presented his 2021 budget recommendation.  At today’s meeting, the Committee voted to accept some slight increases to that recommendation, which still result in a small overall decrease from 2020 of 2.1% currently.  The proposed 2021 tax levy may increase by 1.1%.  However, all numbers could still change before final approval of the budget, scheduled for December 17.
Next steps:
  • Commissioners to provide further ideas for the budget to President Steele, which are incorporated into a second set of changes.  Upon approval, these are included in what is referred to as the “Tentative Budget” which will be posted on the web site.
  • Dec. 3 at 2 pm:  public hearing for the public to weigh in on the Tentative Budget
  • December 10 (time not yet set):  Special meeting to consider the Tentative Budget with any further changes
  • December 17 at 10:30:  regular Board meeting, with one last opportunity to further amend the budget

Proposed budget as it currently stands (incorporating changes approved on Nov. 5);
  • Total appropriation request:    $1.127 B, decrease of $24 M from 2020, or 2.1% reduction
  • 2021 estimated tax levy (a portion of the total appropriation):  $658 M, increase of $7 M from 2020, or 1.1% increase of levy.  However, the estimated cost per $100 of Equalized Assessed Valuation (EAV) is 23.61 cents for 2021 vs. 23.90 cents in 2020
  • Total positions:  1,938, a decrease of 15 positions from 2020
  • If the past is any indication of the future, these numbers will likely go up with further revisions

At this meeting, all major department areas of the MWRD presented highlights of their accomplishments in 2020, along with key initiatives for 2021, all of which are reflected in the Executive Recommendation, as amended at this meeting.  These areas include:
Stormwater Management Fund  --
  • There continues to be an issue with levies greater than what is being spent.  MWRD’s responsibility for storm-water management began in 2004, with bonding authority received in 2014.  It takes a long time to identify and implement projects.  2021 levy will remain flat.  COVID responsible for delaying or cancelling some projects in 2020.  
  • Comm. Shore recommended a placeholder be added to the budget for someone to help get the Stormwater Trading Project going and oversee the rollout.
  • Comm. Du Buclet asked whether there has ever been a study on racial impact.  Not based on race, but there is a map reflecting disproportionate impacted communities (focus on income, not race).  MWRD using this to develop where shove-ready projects should be identified.  
  • Comm. Avila reminded that MWRD only has jurisdiction in Suburban Cook County as Chicago has its own stormwater management operation.
Monitoring & Research – included in 2020 highlights was providing samples of wastewater for surveillance for Covid-19

Procurement & Materials Management
– moved up and fully implemented electronic bidding and signature process as a result of needs due to COVID-19

General Administration
– Planned space\use study halted due to COVID; no provision to do this in 2021 budget.  In Diversity section, President Steele said she wanted to add a position.  Plan is to conduct an affirmative action disparity study for purposes of evaluating MWRD’s Affirmative Action Policy.  With regard to Public Affairs, Comm. Du Buclet asked how the MWRD can be more visible to the public.  Comm. Garcia wants translator to appear at more events.

Board of Commissioners
(includes Treasurer and Legislative Section) – Comm. Shore would like to put excess funding released from TIF districts toward Retirement Fund, as was done last year.  Told would be done.  Currently expecting $19 M.

​Retirement Fund
– at 56% funding and holding steady

Additional Comments at end from Comm. Davis:
  • As part of the Climate Action Plan, wants to establish benchmarks for adding electronic vehicles to MWRD’s fleet.  Suggested 50% by 2025 and 100% by 2030.
  • Expressed concern about the Thornton composite reservoir as the clock is ticking on the transitional reservoir.  This impacts flooding in the South Suburbs.  Comm. Davis suggests that green infrastructure projects should be prioritized here to provide capacity to prevent/reduce flooding.  Comm. Davis impressed with the acquisition work in flood plains and flood-prone properties in this area.  He also applauded the work on identifying disproportionately-affected areas as important for prioritizing projects.

MWRD Board Ramps Up Oversight Responsibilities

10/22/2020

0 Comments

 
Metropolitan Water Reclamation District (MWRD) Board Meeting 
​October 15, 2020


By deleting one high profile item and deferring two others, Commissioners are increasingly expressing their desire to receive information 2-4 weeks before board meetings on large contracts, ordinance and policy changes, and even some legal settlements.  Comm. Davis suggested that committees be used to vet these requests before bringing them to the board. [See “Deleted/Deferred section].

Approved General Agenda Items
  • 20-0876: The staff rejected bids from Odor Control Systems at two Tarp Shafts and the decommissioning of the Thornton Transitional Reservoir because of low bids.  This is second time bids were rejected as too low.  Staff is worried about the safety risks involved if there is a lot of rain.  The staff estimated the costs should be $14.5 to $17.6 million dollars.  Commissioner Spyropoulos said she would have more questions before the contract goes out for bid for the third time.
  • 20-0870: The Board approved the District executing an Intergovernmental Agreement to receive $212,000  in Federal Covid-19 funds from the Cook County Bureau of Finance.  Commissioners thanked County Government for sharing these relief funds.
  • 20-0845: The Board authorized staff request to advertise for Legal Advisory Services related to the District Financing Program for a period of 5 years at a cost of $235,100.  In approving this request, staff noted that a goal of 30% minority and female participation was set and it will hire five legal firms for each bond sale which increases opportunity for minority and female participation.  Per Commissioners requests, Staff will include participation goals in the RFP for this and other bond sales.

Deleted/Deferred Items
  • Deleted:   20-0773 After two previous deferrals, Comm. Garcia asked for the $300,000 contract with Next Generation Technology, Inc. to enhance the District’s new website be rejected.  His concern is with the platform Word Press which is not the platform the District is currently using and is not highly regarded by several of the Commissioners.  In previous deferrals, Comm. Shore said that she was underwhelmed with New Generation’s presentation.  Comm. Garcia wants the new RFP to be tightened to state specifically what the District needs.  Staff indicated New Generation’s does have experience with the District’s platform; and in public comments at the end of the meeting, the Director of Business Development for New Generation confirmed that it did and also stated that Word Press is actually newer than the platform currently in use by the District.  
  • Deferred:  #41 20-0880 The Legal Department brought to the board a settlement proposal with Peoples Power and Light and Coke Company which included a 50-year easement for continued operation and maintenance of a natural gas pipeline and remediation of District property in Chicago under an IEPA consent decree.  The concern is the 50 year easement, and would Peoples stretch out the remediation.  Ans:  There is no drop dead settlement date for remediation but the company has agreed to clean up the site to Residential vs Commercial level.  The District set the rent for 28 acres which is 22.5 more acres than Peoples actually needs at a cost of $500,000 per year.  The Legal Staff urged the board to approve this settlement as it has a court date the next week and wanted to bring the settlement to the judge.  During the 2nd comment period, the lawyer for Peoples called in and tried to assure the board by saying that if good weather prevails, the remediation will be done by mid-2021.  However Comm. Spyropoulos did not withdraw the deferral.
  • Deferred: #42-20854 [Stormwater Management].  The District requested approval to enter into an Intergovernmental Agreement with the Village of Niles.  The agreement is in the amount not to exceed $2M most of which will be paid by the Illinois EPA and is for the design, construction, operation, and maintenance of the Greenwood Stormwater Park.  Comm. Garcia asked for the deferral based on questions about participation goals.

New Business
  • Comm. Morita requested a comprehensive update regarding the District’s role and goal in collaborations with cities or the state for studies on COVID-19 and wastewater.  Comm. Shore requested a memo or briefing to the Board on updates in regards to COVID-19 and fiscal impacts, savings, unexpected costs and employees returning to work.
  • Comm. Davis thanked President Steele for considering the League of Women Voters of Cook County’s recommendations on modifying its practice on meeting roll-call votes.  Effective with this board meeting, individual roll-call votes were only taken on agenda items that were removed for discussion.  All non-discussed items were bundled together for a single roll call vote.

Future Items
  • Comm. Shore gave a brief update on the District’s Strategic Planning Team’s efforts to date including internal and external surveys, wide and comprehensive outreach, and a Stakeholder’s Workshop on October 22.  Comm. Garcia is co-chairing the planning team with Comm. Shore.
  • The 2021 Board Meeting Schedule has been set and posted on the website.

Metropolitan Water Reclamation District (MWRD) Board Meeting  
June 18, 2020


The nine Metropolitan Water Reclamation District’s Board members participated in an audio/visual board meeting that included input from one public speaker via phone hookup. Participating in today’s meeting in addition to the commissioners were the Executive Director of MWRD and Dr.  Catherine O’Connor, Director of Engineering MWRD.

Agenda Items Approved:
The Board approved all consent items except for one item that was differed. The following items were pulled from the Consent Agenda for further discussion. All of the below items were sent to the Consent Agenda after discussion.  
  • Agenda Item 20-0468 Authority to advertise Contract 10-882-BF, Streambank Stabilization Project on Calumet Union Drainage Ditch, Little Calumet River Watershed, Markham, Illinois established cost between $2,351,738.00 and $2,846,840.00. this is a project to improve the Calumet Union Drainage Ditch. Although Commissioner Shore approves of this large project, she wanted clarification as to why the Calumet Union Drainage District that is responsible for maintaining this ditch not involved with this project.  It was deferred to Dr. O’Conner for further comment. Dr. O’Connor said that she would get back to Commissioner Shore with a written explanation. 
  • ​Agenda Item 20-0470   Authority to enter into an agreement with GIS Consortium to share Geographic Information Systems data for underground facilities. MWRD Executive Director, Perkovich explained that this is a group of suburban municipalities that pay for a membership into the Consortium.  This membership allows municipalities to share Geographic Information System Data for underground facilities.  Commissioner Shore wanted to know why Chicago is not part of this since there are suburban Consortium members that border with Chicago. The Executive director stated that Chicago has a separate agreement. MWRD is not a member of the Consortium but does share information. 

Stormwater Management
  • Agenda Item 20-0474 Authority to enter into an Intergovernmental Agreement with and make payment to the Village of Bartlett for construction, operation, and maintenance of the Bioswale and Bike Path Replacement Project in the Village of Bartlett, Illinois, in the amount not to exceed $125,000.00. Commissioner Davis and Commissioner Shore wanted to know how this project and other projects like this one are maintained.  What happens to this project after three-year? Is there follow-up and if these areas need further maintenance is there a charge?  Commissioner Davis requested that the MWRD create an Annual Maintenance Plan to review all MWRD Projects. Dr. O’Connor stated this is a good idea and will follow through with an Annual Report of summaries of projects and any follow-up maintenance. 

Deferred or Deleted Agenda Items
  • Agenda Item 20-0486 Authority to negotiate an Intergovernmental Agreement with the City of Chicago to reroute a section of the West Side 9 Interceptor in Chicago as part of the Chicago Lincoln Yards Project. Commissioner Shore expressed concerns about this project as this is a large development planned alongside the North Branch of the Chicago River. It is her understanding that all stormwater to this development was to be directed to the River and not to the combined sewer system where it would be treated. She stated that this would add too many pollutants to the River and questioned MWRD support of this project. Executive Director Perkovich said the stormwater from the streets and the proposed garage would go directly to the combined sewer systems but stormwater from housing would go to the River.  Dr. Catherine O’Conner stated that the developer of this project is using best management practices including using Bioswales and permeable pavement to help lessen the pollutants going into the river. She also stated that this really is a City of Chicago project and MWRD is entering into an intergovernmental agreement with Chicago to reroute only a small part of this project. Dr. O’Connor also stated that there is a Design that shows how the water will be directed.  Commissioner Davis requested the Design be sent to all Commissioners and that this project be deferred to discuss further. The item was deferred.

New Business
  • A Study Session concerning a review of the MWRD Covid-19 Response Plan is planned for June 29 at 1:00 PM. More information can be found on MWRD website.

Commissioner Request
  • Commissioner Davis asked the Commissioners to consider the League of Women Voters of Cook County  request to schedule Executive Sessions at the end of the meeting. The Commissioners will think about this and discuss this later.
