Public Comment (Non-Agenda Items)

Kane County Resident and Committee Member, David Young, explained that a recent

proclamation that passed at a previous Public Service Committee meeting was not

included on the April's County Board meeting agenda due to politics. Young reviewed

contents of the proclamation pertaining to non-citizen voting. (Committee Member Ford

arrived in-person at 10:34 a.m.) He reviewed Kane County Statute Section 247-C1 and

recited that the Chairman, with the advice of the Executive Committee, shall prepare an

agenda for each meeting of the County Board prior to such meeting. Young stated that

the County Board Chairman has the authority to set the agenda items included on the

Executive Committee agenda, which is one person out of 25 elected County Board

Members. He asked if a resolution or proclamation that has passed through Committee

is not to the Chairman's liking, will it be included on an agenda.

Plan will be given at the Committee of the Whole (COW) meeting on April 23, 2024.

The plan has been revised to reflect some of the suggestions made by the County

Board pertaining to the Public Health Facility. After the COW meeting, the Master Plan

will be presented to this Committee for a vote to move forward to the County Board.

Chairman Kious asked for unanimous consent to change the agenda to have the

Executive Director's report heard during an Executive Session due to the confidential

nature of it. The Committee consented.

Building Management (H. Thompson)

Presentation: Judicial Center Exterior Lighting Project (H. Files)

BLD staff Files provided an overview of the Kane County Judicial Center Site

Lighting Replacement Project. She introduced IMEG Light Designer, Laiken

Green.

IMEG Light Designer, Laiken Green, provided a presentation on the Kane

County Judicial Center Site Lighting Replacement Project. She reviewed the

existing site lighting conditions, such as multiple styles of area pole lights,

damaged site poles, and compromised wiring. She shared the new site lighting

that was included within the bid. Green provided an overview of the lighting

replacement. She explained that the new lighting would provide overall

illumination of the pavement, be compliant with the Dark Sky Ordinance, and

would be controlled through a time clock and photocell. She reviewed the area

pole light layout comparison between the existing lighting layout versus the new.

The new layout will produce 5,200 less wattage than the existing. Green

reviewed the costs associated with the lighting project. She stated that the site is

very large and would include approximately 250 lights, 152 new concrete bases,

new electrical conduit and wiring runs to all pole lights, modification/extension to

electrical conduit and wiring runs at the Coroner's Office and Jail, removal and

disposal of existing site and landscape lighting, concrete bases, and damaged

wiring, and labor to install the new lights/materials. BLD staff Files added that

they have worked with Environ. & Water Res. Dir. Wollnik and staff to ensure

this new lighting follows the set standards of the County. Additionally, this project

and the timing of it is important because of the mass amount of concrete work

that needs to be conducted at the Judicial Campus that is scheduled for next

year. Files stated that getting the light project completed this year would negate

from tearing up brand new concrete. Files and Green addressed questions and

comments from the Committee. Discussion ensued.

Green provided two alternatives that were included in the project's bid. The first

would be to add new S14 poles for future cameras. It would include the pole,

120V conduit and wire, and empty conduit for future low voltage connections.

This would be located at each entry to overall site. The second would be to

move/extend conduit routing to new pole locations at the Coroner's Office and

removal of islands with repair of parking lot.

Authorizing a Contract for Kane County Judicial Center Exterior Lighting Project

with Fitzgerald's Electric Contracting, Inc. and the Building Management

Department (BID# 24-020-TK)

ITD/BLD Exec. Dir. Fahnestock addressed questions and comments from the

Committee. Discussion ensued.
