COUNCIL COMMUNICATION FORM <br /> Engineering & Infrastructure Memorandum <br /> NO. 2003-65 <br /> October 14, 2003 <br /> TO: Honorable Mayor Osborne and City Council <br /> FROM: Steve Garman, City Manager � <br /> Stephen Swanson, P.E.,Director of Engineering& Infrastructure <br /> Matthew C. Newell,P.E., City Engineer�'^ <br /> SUBJECT: Agreement with the Illinois Central Railroad Company for Kaydon Drive <br /> Relief Sewer Crossing Permit <br /> SUMMARY RECOMMENDATION: <br /> It is recommended by staff that the City Council approve the attached resolution authorizing an <br /> agreement between the City of Decatur and the Illinois Central Railroad Company to permit the <br /> construction of the proposed Kaydon Drive Relief Sewer on the north side of Imboden Drive, <br /> under the Illinois Central Railroad tracks. The permit fee is $2,900. <br /> BACKGROUND: <br /> In June 2003, the City Council authorized an agreement with Bainbridge, Gee, Milanski & <br /> Associates, Inc. (BGM) to design a relief sewer for the Kaydon Drive area in order to relieve <br /> ongoing sewer backups and surcharges in the area. The design proposed by BGM is to run a <br /> relief sewer from the existing line on the east side of the tracks under the Illinois Central Railroad <br /> tracks to a higher capacity line on the west side of the tracks. <br /> This proposed crossing requires a resolution and agreement with the railroad. The agreement <br /> language is similar to the language used for many years when City utilities have crossed the <br /> various railroad tracks that traverse the City. <br /> POTENTIAL OBJECTION: There are no known objections. <br /> INPUT FROM OTHER SOURCES: Canadian Northern/Illinois Central Railroad <br />
