Stormwater fund lists North Crowley Woods and Yorkfield Basin repairs in 2026 draft budget
Summary
Staff presented a stormwater capital list that includes a $1.956 million North Crowley Woods project, $320,000 for Yorkfield Basin wall repairs, design for Spring & Eggleston and a miscellaneous contingency line for smaller repairs.
Elmhurst public works staff told the committee the stormwater fund in the draft 2026 budget includes several capital projects and a contingency line for unanticipated repairs.
The single form associated with the stormwater fund lists: North Crowley Woods stormwater improvement project ($1,956,000), repairs at the Yorkfield Basin wall ($320,000), continued design funding for the Spring and Eggleston stormwater improvements ($2,000) and a miscellaneous stormwater improvements line budgeted at $164,000 to address repairs that emerge during the year.
Aldermen pressed staff on coordination with the Elmhurst Park District’s planned Crestview Park master‑plan work and on the location and prioritization of the North Crowley Woods project. Staff said the city engineer has coordinated with the park district and that the North Crowley Woods project came out of the public‑works committee prioritization process.
Why it matters: the stormwater projects are capital‑intensive and tied to neighborhood drainage and park planning; staff said the fund balance and home‑rule sales tax performance are being tracked against long‑range project timelines. Council members asked for follow‑up materials about project locations and the fund’s projected balance over time.
No formal votes were taken; staff said they will follow up with the requested maps and timing details.
