Village urged to approve water tower pay application before IEPA fiscal-year deadline
Summary
Benton & Associates told trustees a pay application for the water tower project must be approved before the Illinois EPA fiscal year ends on June 2; the project was reported 63% complete through April and the tower is expected to be erected by mid-next week.
Benton & Associates reported the Village's water tower project was 63% complete through April and said the tower is expected to be set by the middle of next week. The consultant told trustees a pay application request is pending but must be approved before the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA) fiscal year ends on June 2 to align with funding timelines; the application is also subject to a discussion about apprenticeships with Caldwell.
The minutes do not record the pay-application language verbatim; they capture the consultant's schedule and the IEPA timing. The board did not record a formal vote on the pay application at this meeting, so any approval to meet the IEPA deadline would need to be handled at an upcoming meeting or via an authorized staff process.
Why it matters: missing an IEPA fiscal-year deadline could affect reimbursement or grant timing for the tower project. Trustees were informed of the completion percentage (63% through April) and the near-term construction schedule.
