To spend or not to spend: Council disagrees on best use of money in flood aftermath |

Aldermen agree comprehensive plan is needed
Five aldermen contended that additional money for an overhead sewer program should not be approved by City Council before an overall plan is formed to determine the best use of money for the flooding problems in Elmhurst.
The total cost to fix flooding problems in the City could be as high as $50 million, according to some estimates.
Diane Gutenkauf (1st Ward) said the effort to approve more money for the overhead sewer program “is a disingenuous attempt to force approval of one item on a list of referrals."
"That is silly. That is playing games," she said. "We need to behave like officials who were elected to make decisions."
“Alderman Gutenkauf is out of line," Chris Nybo (5th Ward) responded. "She should avoid personal attacks. What she did is shameful and very inappropriate.”
So, disagreement among Council members as well as the Mayor continued about transferring $450,000 from another program to line sewers to one for an existing overhead sewer program in which the City splits the cost with residents up to $5000. About 50 people have applied for funds in recent weeks since flooding from storms.
About 11:30 p.m., Mark Mulliner (7th Ward) made a motion to defer an item from the City Council agenda of August 16th on overhead sewers until the next City Council meeting so he could file a minority report for a program, which did not have a majority report. Gutenkauf (1st Ward) seconded the motion.
City Council rules allow two aldermen to table an agenda item without debate unless a three-quarters majority of the aldermen present at the meeting vote to suspend the rules.
Michael Bram (3rd Ward), who also voted against approving the overhead sewer funding on August 16, said "never in his nine years on City Council had there been a decision made in a Committee of the Whole meeting and an item placed on a City Council agenda the same night."
During the City Council meeting, which did not start until about 11:15 p.m. following a Committee Of The Whole meeting, Bram raised a point of order. Mayor Pete DiCianni said Bram did not have the floor.
Bram persisted since aldermen are allowed to speak when raising a point of order.
“You need a committee report to put it under the committee report agenda item for a City Council meeting," he said. "How is that legitimate when there is no committee report?”
Chris Healy (5th Ward) responded.
“I asked for it to be put on the agenda so there could be either a vote for it or against it," he said. "Maybe I am a rookie."
"This is a rather unique situation,” Steve Morley (6th Ward) added.
Near the end of a Committee Of The Whole meeting, which started a few minutes after 7 p.m., and lasted until about 11 p.m., aldermen voted 8-5 to approve transferring the money. During much of the four-hour meeting, residents explained their situations to aldermen and questions were answered by City officials and a engineering consultant.
In addition to negative votes from Mulliner, Gutenkauf and Bram, Paula Pezza (1st Ward) and Pat Shea (2nd Ward) voted against approving the transfer of funding on August 16. Several of them said they might change their vote at a future meeting after there was a comprehensive plan.
In addition to "yea" votes from Healy and Morley, Jim Kennedy (6th Ward), Patrick Wagner (7th Ward), Norm Leader (2nd Ward), Stephen Hipskind (4th Ward), Kevin York (4th Ward) and Nybo voted to approved the transfer of the funding because it was something that could help residents while other plans were being formulated. Several aldermen noted that additional funds for the overhead sewer program would be the first step in an effort to fix flooding problems in Elmhurst. (Susan Rose (3rd Ward) was absent from the August 16th meeting.)
Wagner explained his vote.
“Forty-three residents applying for a program in one week speak volumes," he said. "Also, I am in favor of a comprehensive plan.”
“Each program is a good piece of the puzzle," Mulliner contended. "We need to come up with a comprehensive plan. We can’t do this piecemeal. I don’t see a plan. I just see a list of referrals. I am very concerned about doing it piecemeal. I continue to see the same agenda. We are spinning our wheels.”
(Most of the same items have been on the agenda for the last two Committee of The Whole agendas).
Mulliner suggested that Bram’s request for a Comprehensive City of Elmhurst Storm and Sanitary Capital Improvement Plan should be the item to be done first. (See separate story in this issue about a plan and a search for an engineering firm to provide information for the plan.)
Morley stated that he shared Mulliner’s concern.
“I have not heard from two thirds of the aldermen," he said. "The process is terribly inefficient.” He said it would be more efficient to refer proposals to each of the four existing committees of City Council.
Mayor Pete DiCianni agreed that breaking it up would be more efficient.
“We can start by putting out fires,” he said.
“It is not rocket science," Mulliner said. "Here are five not-so-expensive ideas and here are 20 expensive ideas.”
Putting the whole situation in context, Pezza quoted Darrell Whistler, chairman of the Zoning and Planning Commission, who said “Not only should you do the right thing, you should do the right thing in the right way.”
“Who are we to pick and choose?" Pezza said. "We are not engineers.”
“We are all trying to do the right thing," said Leader. "Whatever we do will cost money. Maybe it will be $50 million when it is over.”
Gutenkauf said picking something that is a quick and easy fix is not the best way to spend money.
Breaking down the possible costs, Hipskind, chairman of the Finance Committee, figured that if the cost was $45 million, the resident of the average home in Elmhurst ($400,000) could pay a little less than $10 a month.
“We have one of the best bond ratings," he said. "We can get money. The appreciation in the value of homes would certainly outweigh the cost for residents.”

Says cost is high to control all flooding
An independent engineer’s report confirmed that City equipment was operating throughout the most recent heavy rains.
Mayor Pete DiCianni said the report should remove doubt by some residents that equipment was not operating all the time during the storm.
“This should put to rest many allegations that the pumps were not running.”
But the outlook for the long term is that there will be flooding that current City equipment can not handle, Christopher Burke said during a report to City Council on Monday, August 9.
“I guarantee that you will not like the answer about the cost of a system to control the flooding in the largest storms.”
He did not give specific figures about what various sizes of larger pipes and other equipment could cost.
(See separate story elsewhere in this issue on disagreement among aldermen about how to proceed in the coming weeks and months. Some questioned whether a current City program on overhead sewers is a good way to spend additional money.)
Burke’s conclusions about one aspect of the flooding were:
* The Jackson and Saylor Sanitary Sewer Lift Station was operating throughout the July 23-24 storm event.
* It was running at capacity which was exceeded sometime after midnight.
* The bypass pumps were started about 1:30 a.m.
Other findings in the report, which is on the City web site, included:
* The lift station was operating using ComEd electrical service (a backup generator was not required).
* City staff initiated the bypass mode at approximately 1:30 a.m. July 24 by manually opening and closing selected valves and manually turning the bypass pumps on.
* The high flow pumps turned on at approximately 10:30 p.m. on July 23as called for by the wet well water levels and ran continuously through approximately 3 a.m. on July 25.
On specific situations at various locations such as a woman in the audience asking about catch drains, Burke said he could not answer questions.
“I don’t want to evade answers, but the situation varies from block to block," he said. "I do not want to guess what happened in various locations.”
On the overall situation, another resident said he did not like the City talking about moving from 10-inch to 12-inch or 14-inch pipes, because he preferred to hear about 24-inch or 36-inch pipes.
“Do whatever it takes,” the resident said.
Burke responded that making such changes required approval by County, State and Federal agencies. Even if changes could be made, there still could be water on the streets, he indicated.
The engineer also noted that there are limits to the amount of water which can be channeled into existing bodies of water like Salt Creek because it affects communities further south.
The Mayor noted that dealing with the flooding problem will require a cooperative effort among other mayors and officials from throughout DuPage and western Cook Counties.
“The West Central Municipal Conference has a lot of juice," DiCianni said. "That is nothing against the DuPage Mayors and Managers organization.”
