9�F COUNT Village Board Transmittal Memorandum
DATE: April 3, 2002
SUBJECT:° Resolution re: DuPage Water Commission Budget
FROM: Stephen B. Veitch, Village Manager
RECOMMENDATION: That the Board approve the attached resolution which expresses
support for adoption of a 2002 -2003 Budget by the DuPage Water Commission which
includes a Charter Customer combined rate of $1.65 per 1,000 gallons consistent with its
previously approved Five -Year Capital Improvement Plan.
The DuPage Water Commission is scheduled to consider its 2002 -2003 Budget at its meeting April
g g on A p
11, 2002. 1Pnor to that meeting, all Charter Customers of the Commission are being asked to consider
adopting resolutions in support of a budget containing a specific provision concerning water rates.
That provilsion is a reduction in the combined charter customer O &M and fixed cost rate from $1.75
per 1,000 gallons to $1.65 per 1,000 gallons. The rate reduction was assumed in the Commission's
Capital Improvement Plan adopted by the Commission on January 10, 2002.
Since that action was taken, a new Commission Chairman has been appointed and, apparently at the
behest of the DuPage County Board Chairman, a budget has been introduced which does not contain
the rate reduction. The Charter Customers are of the opinion that the $1.65 rate meets the' needs of the
Commission and its customers and should be implemented. The value of the $0.10 reduction to the
Village of Oak Brook is estimated to be approximately $150,000 over the next twelve months.
The municipal customers of the Commission have joined together in support of the position expressed
in the resolution. Further, they have pledged resources to jointly confront legislative and political
challenges to the charter customer agreement and to address responsibly the issue of expanding Lake
Michigan (water delivery throughout the county in a manner consistent with the agreement. Oak
Brook's contribution to the common fund (known as the House Bill 5365 Fund), in the amount of
$2,904.74, appears within the list of bills submitted for approval to the Village Board's meeting on
April 9, 2002.
I recommend approval of the attached resolution. If approved, a certified copy of the resolution will be
delivered to the Commission prior to the April 11 meeting.

Wednesday, April 3, 2002. The bid submitted by A.C. Pavement in the

micro - surfacing, and has performed adequately. Project work on Jorie

cleaning and sealing pavement cracks, application of two coats of
micro - surfacing mixture and adding thermoplastic pavement markings

$192,000 have been budgeted in the Roadway Improvements Program
