The March 25, 2004 Special Board meeting was called to order by Supervisor Anderson at 8:34 a. m. at the Community Center.  The Pledge of Allegiance was recited.  Clerk Johansen called the roll with Supervisor Anderson and Trustees Manser, Judy, and Kupar present.  Trustee Gillen was absent. 

     Supervisor Anderson invited Greg Van Zandt of the Campton Township Solid Waste District to speak.  G. Van Zandt stated the District notified Waste Management that the District would go out for rebid in March of 2005.  The District will send a questionnaire out to residents asking if they are satisfied with Waste Management.  The District will hold a Public Hearing on the question on May 27, 2004.  They propose that residents be provided with two bins, one for recycling, the other for waste.  The resident will have to purchase a sticker for anything that won’t fit in the solid waste container.  Waste Management and other haulers will bid on the contract. 

Review and Act Upon the Prospectus from V3 Companies for the Wetland Mitigation Application to the Core of Engineers:  J. Kupar stated the County wants 30 acres for retention of water but once Army Corps approves the wetland mitigation it would not be possible to put a 30 acre retention pond in the wetland.  Army Corp would not allow that.  So should we delay approval of wetland mitigation until this is resolved?  Tom Slowinski of V3 stated he met with Tim Harbough of Kane County regarding a feasibility study of where to put the 30 acres of water retention.  The mitigation bank would come after.  We can add 77 acre feet beyond the wetland restoration to resolve this.  He doesn’t think it is a conflict to add storm water retention with the wetland bank.  They want to quantify the downstream impact.  It’s hard to see downstream benefits.  V3 outlined a 30 acre easement for the County’s storage area.  J. Kupar stated Harbough doesn’t think the Township should be making money from wetland mitigation on the 30 acres of retention pond, and the County should be able to do anything they want to do with the 30 acres.  N. Anderson stated we can’t agree to that.  J. Kupar stated Army Corp wouldn’t allow the retention pond in the wetland.  K. Judy asked are flood plain storage and wetland mitigation consistent with one another?  T. Slowinski stated yes.  We are trying to meet both goals – storm water storage and wetland.  J. Kupar stated there are two options – go ahead without the $300,000 storm water grant from the County, or work to find a solution from an engineering standpoint, and it’s the County Board’s decision in the end.  T. Slowinski stated V3 and the Township have a contract to do this and Army Corps review is integral to that.  Township Administrator Glas stated all they need to do to keep working with the County is to give the County an easement.  Downstream benefits are not written in the County’s Resolution.  It was just for purchase.  N. Anderson stated what if we ask the County to drop this site and move the grant to Corron.  K. Judy stated maybe this isn’t the right place for storm water retention.  J. Kupar stated it is the right place for both, but the two are in conflict.  Administrator Glas stated there is no rush on this.  We can let them think about it for awhile.  R. Manser moved the Board approve the preliminary plan of V3 Companies for the Wetland Mitigation Application to the Corp of Engineers.  The motion was seconded by K. Judy.  J. Kupar moved to amend the motion to say both V3 and Campton Township work with Tim Harbough to develop an engineering compromise to save the $300,000 grant from Kane County.  The amendment of the motion was seconded by K. Judy.  In a voice vote on the amendment to the motion, Supervisor Anderson and Trustees Manser, Judy, and Kupar voted aye.  Trustee Gillen was absent.  The amendment of the motion passed.  In a voice vote on the motion, as amended, Supervisor Anderson and Trustees Manser, Judy, and Kupar voted aye.  Trustee Gillen was absent.  The motion, as amended, passed.  J. Kupar stated we submit this to Army Corp, and then the Township sits down with Tim Harbough to get his concerns incorporated possibly including the 30 acres to the west.

Set Annual Town Meeting Agenda for the April 13, 2004 Meeting:  K. Judy moved the Board set the Annual Town Meeting Agenda as set forth for the April 13, 2004 Meeting at 7:30 p.m.  The motion was seconded by R. Manser.  In a voice vote Supervisor Anderson and Trustees Manser, Judy, and Kupar voted aye.  Trustee Gillen was absent.  The motion passed. 

Adjournment:  J. Kupar moved the Board adjourn the meeting.  R. Manser seconded the motion.  In a voice vote Supervisor Anderson and Trustees Manser, Judy, and Kupar voted aye.  Trustee Gillen was absent.  The motion passed and the meeting adjourned at 9:20 a.m.
