REPORT & RECOMMENDATION:
COMED TRANSFORMER RELOCATION 5
DISCUSSION:
Ms. Heckler gave a presentation on the ComEd transformer relocation at Ash Avenue and Irving Park Road. City Council approved a $5,500 deposit in May for preliminary engineering. The new estimate came in at $140,774.38. Currently there is a 3:1 overhead transformer at Irving Park and Ash. ComEd does not allow this type of equipment to be placed underground. Ms. Udoni provided a photo of the current location and a diagram of the proposed relocation, which is on Hemlock near the alley. Mr. Mermuys noted that the original $5,500 design was to try to tuck the pole back along the tracks, but it didn’t work out once they started engineering, so this was the next desired option. Mr. York stated these transformers cannot be put underground. Mayor Pulice would like to hear other solutions rather than just shift from Irving near other residential homes. Mr. Mermuys noted that there might not be a better option from ComEd.
VOTE:
Staff was directed to return to ComEd to discuss other more viable options, if any exist.
No vote was taken.
ITEMS TO BE CONSIDERED AT FUTURE MEETINGS:
? RA Mancini- Mill Road Water Main Final Payment (TBD)
? Archon Final Payment (TBD)
? Moving Prospect/Potter NICOR Gas Line – Mr. York reported he is working with them to get the project completed and will check to see when they will be out again.
ADJOURNMENT:
The meeting adjourned at 10:16 p.m.
