Staff said HR Green completed design work and the project was put out to bid on April 4, with bids scheduled to be opened on May 22. The construction contract was expected to be presented to the board for approval in June, and construction was estimated to occur from fall 2025 through spring 2027.

Funding sources discussed included an Illinois EPA (IEPA) low‑interest loan of up to about $5.1 million, an IEPA loan forgiveness option of up to about $7.2 million (described as effectively a grant), and a McHenry County ARPA grant of $560,000. Staff said they also submitted a federal funding request and that Representative Jan Schakowsky’s office expressed interest in resubmitting a project request to federal appropriations staff.

Planned site features include a portion of the parking lot to be paved toward the new building, public amenities such as restrooms and a bottle‑filling water fountain at the new facility, and a temporary construction access route from Route 31. Staff asked the board to authorize awarding the construction contract after bid opening; no contract award occurred at the May 20 meeting.

Trustees asked for clarification about funding details and were told the IEPA forgiveness program would function like a grant depending on the final award. Staff said they would return with the recommended contract award for board consideration once bids were evaluated.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","05.20.2025 Committee of the Whole","oneSentenceSummary","Village staff said a new deep well and treatment facility in Rotary Park is designed to replace capacity lost when Wells 8 and 9 were taken offline; bids were opened and multiple funding sources were described, including IEPA loan/forgiveness and McHenry County ARPA grant.","taxTitle","Cary, McHenry County, Illinois","taxId",70300,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6233528,"Cary officials propose striping, radar signs and patrols for Decker Drive traffic calming",4408,1206000,5614000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3417752-c40c72aec82d23d46285d9c2afce658e&start=1206&end=5614","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3417752-c40c72aec82d23d46285d9c2afce658e/thumbnail_1206000.jpg","/articles/6233528/Cary/McHenry-County/Illinois/Cary-officials-propose-striping-radar-signs-and-patrols-for-Decker-Drive-traffic-calming","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6233528-855a260551af39a41ef804687eb42a26/orig.mp4?Expires=1771159162&Signature=LCxN0wwSkwGiHnCjACVwZ5Xbeq3kn-eZ9IEKA7eNj9TpYCq~885a~mGV~N~wNBahvJ20DSFmn2xZ~Nb4qM8T3imshM~~SIJIVCLzIozL17OZ3qPvuqCcRfnWisTXcT9T~nT08mvb3erh9GdSSztDrPzW4GNWBRueWlu0A1TPl5xHkanG8bZG98XCiPVtw~zdRIS56SbIV2dxIruDTTaMwWn5tf7D8I0WrymAhVb9tP05r-rsWEPZtgmPBeeyEZqYhdceYF8RswFoUx6L6liUN2nmdvP4MnGfNeMU9MMFHoMcyxxth4aCgPIPJaTLVPLkxbhyWxQHK8iCF6yx7vif9w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Village staff presented traffic study results and a package of low‑cost traffic calming measures for Decker Drive at the Committee of the Whole meeting on May 20 after residents raised speeding and safety concerns.

Staff said a September 2024 speed study showed 85th‑percentile speeds of about 31.6–32 mph at two measured locations and average speeds for cars and trucks above the posted 25 mph limit. \"Right now, the average speed is 30 miles an hour and 80 fifth percentile is 34 miles per hour,\" Chief Finland said during the meeting.

The proposed first phase includes pavement markings to narrow travel lanes, a five‑foot bike lane, a nine‑foot parking lane on one side with the east side designated no‑parking from East Main Street to Claire Lane, installation of speed radar feedback signs and continued directed patrols by police. Staff said striping would be done through the annual CIP pavement‑marking program and that two new radar signs are budgeted this year.

Staff and trustees discussed other options residents raised, including stop signs, speed bumps and weight limits. Public works staff noted the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD), administered by the Federal Highway Administration, discourages using stop signs for general speed control; Director Noonan and village staff said installing stop signs solely for speed control could increase legal and liability risks. Several residents urged more enforcement, weight restrictions for heavy trucks and expanded measures extending to Montana Drive and toward 3 Oaks Road.

Residents who spoke included longtime neighborhood homeowners and parents who said children walk to 3 Oaks school. Suggestions from the public included temporary or permanent speed bumps, additional radar signs placed to capture data near 3 Oaks, and clearer crosswalk markings. Trustees generally supported starting with striping, deploying two radar signs and monitoring cloud‑based radar data to direct patrols; staff will return with contract or agenda items for approval and cost breakdowns for individual components if requested.

No formal policy change was adopted; trustees directed staff to proceed with the proposed striping and radar sign purchases in the current budget and to monitor results before pursuing additional infrastructure changes.","Following resident complaints about speeding on Decker Drive, staff proposed lane‑narrowing striping, a bike lane, no‑parking designation on one side, and additional radar signs; trustees directed staff to include striping in this year’s program and to monitor results.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6233536,"i3 Broadband pitches fiber build in Cary; staff to bring right‑of‑way agreement to board",686,495000,1181000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3417752-c40c72aec82d23d46285d9c2afce658e&start=495&end=1181","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3417752-c40c72aec82d23d46285d9c2afce658e/thumbnail_495000.jpg","/articles/6233536/Cary/McHenry-County/Illinois/i3-Broadband-pitches-fiber-build-in-Cary-staff-to-bring-rightofway-agreement-to-board","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6233536-8388a272b028bc2974606e4221fd206f/orig.mp4?Expires=1771159162&Signature=LBqDxDnvt53c2aWjiNIsKO4JYXQxduT5JGKLlHJeRk0~NBSw0G0BiQFoFHl1Z56gq6ie067Z0v-cZeWdci3wlFi3M9Qa7EoF1KONcF58i0khF0g8pzlDf5MsSIfS0bkMK5zWlzHrA5MdRxoQ02QBfJaqBFKKSowCY6EFZUBqk9SLkOZEzDR8LlCgYOWZoNPgVe66n7FhvIsnf5WxQtBNP9~NkEWP7jwhRkGhog-4D490SmF891I0ou5SHANnxvQOPj2kLeMg6JtzFYNi45J4StnzkZ7zV1FffAAjaIt3FcYfRvc8Lug2m9bxNYcdSk5c~5M05-6544SzZeYtBk0ccg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Mike Elam, vice president of community relations and market development for i3 Broadband, told Cary trustees on May 20 that his company plans to invest about $10 million to build fiber infrastructure in the village and asked officials to consider a right‑of‑way permitting agreement.

\"We are getting ready to make a multimillion dollar investment in your community, close to $10,000,000 that we're gonna do,\" Elam said. He described i3 as a competitive local exchange carrier that offers symmetrical fiber speeds, phone service and a month‑to‑month residential model with no long‑term contracts.

Elam said i3 already works in neighboring communities including Algonquin, Crystal Lake and Lake in the Hills and that the company had completed a walkout and ongoing utility coordination. Cary staff said they have been negotiating terms with i3 and will present a final negotiated right‑of‑way agreement to the board for consideration at a future meeting.

Trustees asked about pricing, business contracts, and how i3 compares to incumbent providers. Elam said residential plans start as low as $19.99 in promotional pricing and typical price points are around $30–$50 a month; business services often require contracts. He also said i3 offers higher upload speeds than many cable providers by using fiber.

The missed mailings occurred after Flood Brothers moved invoice printing to an outside vendor, Flood said. \"We sincerely value our partnership with the village and take full responsibility for the errors that occurred,\" he told trustees. The company credited all late fees and return fees to impacted customers and said it had implemented new vendor verifications and internal cross‑checks.

The work that caused the first problem took place during the September–November billing cycle, Flood said, and affected Cary because the village uses a 45‑day due date that requires a separate batch of invoices. He said the vendor failed to print or mail that batch and Flood Brothers discovered the error only after a rise in past‑due balances and customer calls.

A second issue coincided with the annual contract rate adjustment in December–February. Flood said one cart‑size offering continued to be billed at the old rate; March–May invoices combined the corrected rate with the prior underbilling. Flood Brothers said it mailed explanatory postcards with the March bills and expanded customer support to answer questions.

At the meeting, a trustee thanked Flood for accepting responsibility and asked why Cary uses a 45‑day billing cycle. Flood explained that most municipalities use a 30‑day or 20‑day cycle and that Cary’s 45‑day cycle is unique in the company’s municipal portfolio; he said Flood Brothers has implemented a direct confirmation process with its printer to prevent a repeat.

No formal board action was taken; staff and the contractor discussed operational fixes and communications to customers. Flood Brothers said the June bill had been reviewed and reflected the correct quarterly rate.","Flood Brothers told Cary trustees it missed a 45‑day billing batch and underbilled one cart size during a rate change; the company credited fees and described new quality controls.","actionData","errors"]
