Minutes of a Regular Meeting Oswego Village President and Board of Trustees October 24, 2005 Page 10 of 12 The motion was declared carried with six (6) aye votes. PRESIDENT’S REPORT Police Department Parking Lot Expansion -- Chief Baird presented a spread sheet showing the probable construction cost of $75,888.00 which includes a 10% contingency. Alternate Bid #1 was $85,018.45 and included filling cracks and seal coating and striping; Alternate Bid #2 was $112,298.45 and included grinding edge of pavement along the curb and a 2 inch overlay. Board discussion included the budgeted $27,000; construction requirements; tree removal; if anything could be done with the wood from the removed trees; potential savings in other areas of the police budget and phasing the project. It was determined that after several tries, there was no one that wanted the wood and that the tree removal and engineering costs could be taken from this years budget with the remaining costs coming from the FY 05/06 budget. The Board requested that Mr. Pries, Mr. Schiber and Chief Baird look at financing, construction and saving options and report back at the next meeting.

This would require a 30-day notice to the paper. Discussion was held concerning the anticipated increase in sales tax dollars; the unexpected increase in the cost of materials for this project; bypassing the Finance Committee to save time; and the ability to use any surplus to pay other debt.
