Barry proposed using approximately $537,000 resurfacing savings to resurface Anderson Drive, from Rohlwing Road to Williams Drive; and recommended a contract for Anderson Drive Resurfacing with Arrow Road Construction Company of Elk Grove, Illinois in the amount of $267,000.

For discussion, Public Works Director Matt Barry proposed an April milling and May paving program: in April, renting a milling machine to mill identified streets and offer residents along the affected streets the option to participate in the 50/50 Curb and Apron Replacement Program. Residents would obtain their own quotes and building permits. Apron and/or curb replacement by their contractors to occur prior to the resurfacing work. After milling and paving work is complete, residents would submit their invoices to Public Works for review and inspection. Approved work would be reimbursed at 50% of the homeowner’s cost.
In response to Mayor Schwantz, Barry stated that homeowners’ bids would be reviewed by the Village.
Village Manager, Reid Ottesen expects about 10% of residents to take advantage of this program and added that the 50/50 sidewalk program is also available.
Councilman Lamerand asked about the PCI projection of 2 point pick up. Barry confirmed more funds are available including Rebuild Illinois.

Ottesen proposed, if space is available, to allow food vendors from outside the Village of Palatine and to replace Kids Zone, in Towne Square, with a quieter, family oriented "Backyard BBQ" themed area to include: sponsor tents, backyard games (cornhole, bocce ball etc.), children's entertainment and a satellite bar. Staff has presented this idea to Duff Entertainment who is working to implement it with speakers.
