TOWN COUNCIL ACTION REPORT
December 2, 2010
Motion Initiating an Amendment to the Subdivision Code – Sec. 16.2-6 and Sec. 16.2-14(D)
PREPARED BY: Mercy Davison, Town Planner
REVIEWED BY: Mark R. Peterson, City Manager Steven D. Mahrt, Corporation Counsel Greg Troemel, Director of Inspections
BUDGET IMPACT: N/A
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approval
ATTACHMENTS: Proposed Subdivision Code Text Amendment
BACKGROUND
When multiple properties are combined and redeveloped, it is appropriate to resubdivide the properties into one lot. Among other reasons, the resubdivision process cleans up the legal descriptions and ensures that easements and rights-of-way are appropriately vacated or relocated. It also provides a logical point at which to collect various development fees. For the past several years, Town staff has required that resubdivisions occur as a condition of Site Plan, PUD, and Special Use Permit approvals.
The current Subdivision Code permits the Town to require resubdivisions in these situations; however, the code language is not as clear on this point as it could be.
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS
In order to clarify the code requirement that the development or redevelopment of multiple lots include a resubdivision, Town staff recommends that the Town Council initiate the amendment process. If initiated, this item will proceed to the Planning Commission for a public hearing on Feb. 10, 2010. Section 16.2-6 amend the definition for Subdivide as follows:
Subdivide: (1) the division of land into two or more lots, parcels, or tracts; (2) the dedication of streets, ways, or other areas for use of the public; (3) any division of land which creates more than one additional lot for transfer or ownership and/or building development, or where a new street is involved, or additional utilities, such as sewer or water trunk lines are involved; (4) any development of property adjacent to a street which street does not comply with the Town’s standards for new street construction or right-of-way width; (5) or meets the definition of a Planned Unit Development as defined in the Normal Zoning Code; (6) long term lease for new development; or (7) any development in which a group of lots is combined as a unit under single ownership or unified control.
Add subsection D to section 16.2-14: 16.2-14 D. It shall be unlawful to combine existing lots of record for development as a single parcel without re-platting the parcel as one or more lots of record and otherwise complying with the requirements of this Chapter except: two lots of record may be combined as a single parcel for development if both lots are zoned R-1A, or R-1B.

Resolution Authorizing Execution of a Grant Agreement with the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity Pertaining to the Acquisition of a New Fire Engine and Other Related Firefighting Equipment
PREPARED BY: Mark R. Peterson, City Manager
BUDGET IMPACT: Since the grant amount is expected to cover the full cost of the engine and related fire equipment, this item will have no impact on the Town’s Operating and Capital Improvements Budget.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approval
ATTACHMENTS: Proposed Resolution, Proposed Grant Agreement
BACKGROUND
As part of the 2009 Illinois Capital Bill, an allocation was secured within that spending bill for a $450,000 grant to the Normal Fire Department for the purpose of purchasing a replacement fire engine and related firefighting equipment. That allocation was secured by Representative Dan Brady. Town staff received a notice this week from the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity that a grant in the amount of $450,000 would soon be released to the Town for the aforementioned purchase. The grant program requires that the Mayor execute the attached agreement stipulating to a number of conditions pertaining to the use of these State of Illinois funds.
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS
The proposed fire engine will replace the 1981 Snorkel truck which has been relegated to a reserve role within the Fire Department for the past several years. It is anticipated that the order for the replacement engine will be placed sometime in January and delivery would be expected in October or November.
Fire Chief Mick Humer will be available at your meeting on December 6th to answer any other questions you may have regarding the grant agreement or the proposed fire equipment/apparatus acquisition. RESOLUTION NO. ______

TOWN COUNCIL ACTION REPORT
December 2, 2010
Resolution Authorizing Execution of an Agreement with the University of Illinois for Groundwater Level Monitoring
PREPARED BY: Steve Gerdes, Water Director
REVIEWED BY: Mark R. Peterson, City Manager Geoff Fruin, Assistant City Manager
BUDGET IMPACT: Funds in the amount of $12,702 are available in account number 505-8040-434.20-70 over a three year period for monitoring of the west well field which includes this contract. Half of the cost of the proposal will be reimbursed by the City of Bloomington.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approval
ATTACHMENTS: Proposed Resolution; University of Illinois Research Agreement
BACKGROUND
Since 1999, the State Water Survey through the University of Illinois has been monitoring and recording water levels within aquifers west of Bloomington-Normal. This monitoring has been done in conjunction with the Long Range Water Plan Steering Committee’s Standard Research Agreement entitled “Groundwater Level Monitoring in McLean, Tazewell and Logan Counties”. The most recent contract for the monitoring of these water levels expires January 31, 2011. The University of Illinois and the Illinois State Water Survey have proposed a contract extending the services through January 2014. The proposed work consists of monitoring the water levels of approximately 33 observation wells installed by the Illinois State Water Survey and the Illinois Geological Survey in the 1990’s, as well as the Mackinaw River at three locations. Quarterly sampling of these wells will be conducted, the sites will be mowed twice per year, and those wells exhibiting an iron bacteria problem will be periodically chlorinated.
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS
The proposal is much the same as the previous agreements. The Water Survey will provide an annual report and hydrographs for each measuring point. The City of Bloomington has indicated that they will reimburse the Town for half of the cost of the agreement. However, the agreement will continue to be sponsored by the Town of Normal and the Town will bill the City of Bloomington for their share.
The Agreement calls for payments according to the following schedule. TOWN COUNCIL ACTION REPORT
Year 1 – FY 2011 $4,175.00 Year 2 – FY 2012 $4,234.00 Year 3 – FY 2013 $4,293.00
Total over three years $12,702.00
Staff is recommending approval of the University of Illinois Agreement.

TOWN COUNCIL ACTION REPORT
December 2, 2010
Resolution Accepting a Proposal to Install a Wet Well and Piping for an Emergency Standby Pump for the North Bridge Sanitary Lift Station from Mid-Illinois Mechanical in the Amount of $64,850 and Authorize a Budget Adjustment of $14,850
PREPARED BY: Robin Weaver, Director of Public Works
REVIEWED BY: Pamela S. Reece, Deputy City Manager Ed Thomas, Sewer Maintenance Supervisor
BUDGET IMPACT: In addition to the cost of the wet well ($64,850), an additional amount is needed for the pump, materials, equipment and services to complete the installation at a total cost of $133,000. Staff will return to Council with proposals for the acquisition of the pump for this project. At this time, staff proposes installation of the wet well. The current year budget has total allotted funds available in the amount of $50,000 in 510-7720- 431.43-80. A Sewer Fund budget adjustment in the amount of $14,850 will be required for the wet well construction. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approval
ATTACHMENTS: Proposed Resolution and Three Proposals
BACKGROUND
The North Bridge sanitary sewer lift station was constructed and placed into service in January 2002. This lift station services sanitary effluent from area homes.
The Bloomington-Normal Water Reclamation District’s (BNWRD) and the Town’s long range plan is to eliminate both the Ironwood and North Bridge lift stations by constructing a large sewer interceptor northwest from the North Bridge subdivision to a proposed regional lift station operated by BNWRD and located at Towanda Avenue and Township 2000 North Road. The sewer force main installed between the Ironwood and North Bridge lift stations was designed to accommodate this plan. It is likely that construction of the sewer force main will not occur in the next ten years.
Staff is proposing to install a permanent standby pump using the piping and fittings which are already installed with independent controls, alarm and power, and adequate capacity to handle the entire sewer flow of the lift station. This proposed alternative is significantly less expensive than expanding the primary wet well capacity and it removes any time constraints for maintenance staff to respond in the event of a problem (previous option only offered a 60 minute response window). The standby pump would operate by diesel engine, would not be dependent on a generator, and would pump sewage directly from the wet well, around the pump station and directly into the force main. The standby level float system in the primary wet well will trigger the standby pump to engage and the pump will then operate. TOWN COUNCIL ACTION REPORT
Installation of a standby pump also provides supplemental pumping capacity to the station’s three main pumps during events of extraordinary flow and allows maintenance staff to continuously operate the station for maintenance and repairs requiring shutdown of the main equipment.
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS
In February 2010, Council authorized the purchase and installation of a bypass pump for the Ironwood sanitary sewer lift station. Work on that project was completed this summer. Installation of a bypass pump for Northbridge lift station is for the same purpose: to minimize the risk of sanitary sewer backups into residential basements and extend the time available for staff to respond in the event of a problem at the lift station. Installation of the wet well and piping for this project is the first phase of the project. Work on the wet well can commence immediately.
It should be noted that a sanitary sewer backup incident occurred in a residence of Northbridge Subdivision a few years ago. Installation of this emergency system will help reduce the risk of another incident.
Staff solicited cost quotation proposals from three regional firms for construction of the wet well. Mid- Illinois Mechanical is the lowest proposal. The firm successfully completed generator work on the Ironwood lift station. Staff is recommending acceptance of the proposal supplied by Mid-Illinois Mechanical of Bloomington, Illinois for the total amount of $64,850 and is requesting authorization to proceed with the acquisition of services, materials and equipment to complete the installation as proposed.
Funds in the amount of $50,000 were originally allocated in the Sewer Fund budget for an expense which is no longer a top priority of the Sewer Division. Therefore, these funds are proposed to be used for the Northbridge lift station project. An additional $14,850 to complete this phase of the project is available in the Sewer Fund. Following the completion of the wet well and piping, an emergency bypass pump will need to be installed. Staff plans to have proposals for the acquisition of the pump in January and will present them to Council for approval at that time. The complete project is anticipated to cost $133,000. RESOLUTION NO. ______
RESOLUTION ACCEPTING A PROPOSAL TO INSTALL A WET WELL AND PIPING FOR AN EMERGENCY STANDBY PUMP FOR THE NORTH BRIDGE SANITARY LIFT STATION FROM MID-ILLINOIS MECHANICAL IN THE AMOUNT OF $64,850 AND AUTHORIZE A BUDGET ADJUSTMENT OF $83,000

WHEREAS, Mid-Illinois Mechanical has submitted a Proposal to install said system in the amount of $64,850.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE PRESIDENT AND BOARD OF TRUSTEES FOR THE TOWN OF NORMAL, ILLINOIS:
SECTION ONE: That the Proposal from Mid-Illinois Mechanical in the amount of $64,850 to install a wet well and piping system for an emergency standby pump for the North Bridge sanitary lift station be and the same is hereby approved and accepted.

Resolution Authorizing the Execution of Amendment #3 with Cotter Consulting Inc. for Owner Representative Services on the Multimodal Transportation Facility in the Amount of $119,997 and Approving an Associated Budget Adjustment
PREPARED BY: Wayne Aldrich, Uptown Development Director
REVIEWED BY: Mark R. Peterson, City Manager
BUDGET IMPACT: A budget adjustment in the amount of $119,997 is recommended in item 332-9835-466.20-10 of the Uptown fund for this work. This amount has been included in the proposed 2011-2012 budget analysis.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approval
ATTACHMENTS: Proposed Resolution, Proposed Amendment #3
BACKGROUND
On April 20, 2009, the Town Council approved the selection of Cotter Consulting of Chicago, Illinois for Owner Representative Services for the Multimodal Transportation Center project. At its May 18, 2009 meeting, the Town Council authorized the execution of an agreement with Cotter in the amount of $756,284. This included Owner Representative Services in the amount of $631,112 plus Amendment #1 in the amount of $117,072 for the preparation of a monthly draw book. On July 20, 2009 the Town Council authorized Amendment #2 in the amount of $85,705 for the third party commissioning of the facility as is recommended due to the LEED requirements.
The original agreement with Cotter assumed a time period of 2 ½ months for the preconstruction process from May 1, 2009 to July 15, 2009; however, as you may recall, the preconstruction process was extended due to the design changes required to add the additional floor and City Hall spaces to the Multimodal Transportation Center. Additional time was also required for the application and award of the TIGER grant. Thus, the duration of the preconstruction period was from May 1, 2009 to June 21, 2010.
The current construction schedule will result in services by Cotter Consulting being completed in October of 2012. Cotter Consulting was very active during the preconstruction phase in helping coordinate the work performed by Ratio Architects, and assisting in coordination with outside agencies including the Federal Transit Administration and Amtrak. Cotter Consulting is requesting an additional fee of $119,997 for the actual preconstruction phase services performed in addition to the contracted amount.
TOWN COUNCIL ACTION REPORT
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS
Based on the actual increase in schedule duration from the negotiated schedule in the original agreement with Cotter Consulting and the actual services provided during this period, an additional fee amount is justified. Cotter Consulting has provided vital services in this preconstruction process in preparing all the necessary documentation required of the TIGER grant. They have also been intimately involved with negotiations with the Federal Transit Administration, Amtrak, and other agencies as required to implement this project. In our discussions with the Federal Transit Administration officials, they have been very satisfied with their interaction with the representatives of Cotter Consulting on the Town’s behalf.
Due to the extended time frame and the additional work performed by Cotter Consulting to assist with preconstruction activities and to conform to the Federal requirements, Town staff recommends approval of Amendment #3. RESOLUTION NO. ______

An Ordinance Adopting the 2009 International Fire Code, and Amending Section 11.5-1 of the Municipal Code of the Town of Normal
PREPARED BY: Greg Troemel, Director of Inspections
REVIEWED BY: Wayne Karplus, Assistant Corporation Counsel Scot Williams, Assistant Director
BUDGET IMPACT: N/A
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approval
ATTACHMENTS: Proposed Ordinance, Minutes of the October 13, 2010 meeting of the Building Board of Appeals are included in the Addendum.
BACKGROUND
This is the first in a series of three reports that relate to the adoption of new or updated codes.
The Inspection Department currently enforces the 2006 International Fire Code (IFC) as a supplemental code to the International Building Code to regulate commercial and multiple family construction in the community.
The Town has consistently adopted the codes produced by the International Code Council (ICC) when new code editions are published every three years. It is advantageous to adopt the most recent edition of a code as it has a positive impact on the Town’s ISO rating. Furthermore, the ICC’s training services that the Town utilizes focus on the most recent edition published.
The IFC is a supplemental code used for specialized or unique applications in primarily the commercial construction industry. This adoption has no bearing on the previously approved sprinkler code provisions for single family homes that becomes effective January 1, 2012.

TOWN COUNCIL ACTION REPORT
December 2, 2010
An Ordinance Adopting the 2009 International Energy Conservation Code, with Amendments, as the Energy Code of the Town of Normal
PREPARED BY: Greg Troemel, Director of Inspections
REVIEWED BY: Wayne Karplus, Assistant Corporation Counsel
BUDGET IMPACT: N/A
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approval
ATTACHMENTS: Proposed Ordinance, Minutes of the October 13, 2010 meeting of the Building Board of Appeals are included in the Addendum.
BACKGROUND
This is the second in a series of three reports that relate to the adoption of new or updated codes.
As a condition of eligibility for American Recovery & Reinvestment Act funding, in January 2009 the State of Illinois mandated that new one and two-family construction comply with the provisions of the International Energy Conservation Code (IECC). Although this law required local home builders to build to the IECC, the state had no ability to enforce the code based on a lack of personnel. The Town had no authority to enforce the code without locally adopting the code as part of its overall code library.
In December of 2009, the Town Council considered and ultimately adopted a series of updated International Codes. At that time, Inspection Department staff indicated it would return to the Council later in 2010 to formally adopt the International Energy Conservation Code. Staff spent the intervening months reviewing the provisions of the IECC as well attending several training sessions regarding administration and enforcement of the code. At this time the department is requesting that the Town Council adopt the 2009 IECC for local enforcement purposes.
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS
Staff completed its review of the 2009 IECC and on October 13, 2010 convened the Building Board of Appeals for their review and recommendation. Town staff has been meeting periodically with representatives from the Bloomington-Normal Homebuilders Association (BNHBA) regarding the application of the code as well the various alternatives to code compliance. The BNHBA recognizes the state mandate to comply and is supportive of the Town’s approach to adopt and enforce the code, as it will create a level playing field among builders in the community.
TOWN COUNCIL ACTION REPORT
The Building Board of Appeals has recommended the adoption of the 2009 IECC, with amendments as presented, and staff recommends the Town Council approve adoption of the code as proposed. The effective date of enforcement will be January 1, 2011 if approved.
ORDINANCE NO. ______

TOWN COUNCIL ACTION REPORT

Resolution Authorizing a Supplemental Agreement with Ratio Architects for a Feasibility Study for a Grade Separated Pedestrian Crossing at the Multimodal Transportation Center in the Amount of $12,300 and Approval of an Associated Budget Adjustment
PREPARED BY: Wayne Aldrich, Uptown Development Director
REVIEWED BY: Mark R. Peterson, City Manager
BUDGET IMPACT: A budget adjustment in the amount of $12,300 will be required in line item 332-9835-466.20-10 from unobligated Uptown Bond Funds.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approval
ATTACHMENTS: Proposed Resolution, Proposal from Ratio Architects
BACKGROUND
Town staff has been in discussions with the Illinois Department of Transportation, the Illinois Commerce Commission, and the Union Pacific Railroad regarding pedestrian safety around the proposed Multimodal Transportation Center. With the implementation of high speed rail and the anticipated increased rail passenger traffic, it is envisioned that at some point in the future rail passengers will board trains from both the north and south platforms of the Multimodal Transportation Center.
As you may be aware, the current plans for the Multimodal Transportation Center include a new platform on the north side of the tracks; however, the existing platform on the south side of the tracks will remain and may be utilized on various occasions.
Due to the probable use of both platforms in the future and safety issues related to increased train traffic at the Multimodal Transportation Center, there has been some discussion regarding several safety improvements to separate the pedestrian traffic from the rail traffic. One of the issues is the ability to get passengers from the Multimodal Transportation Center on the north side of the tracks to the south platform in a safe and convenient way. Both Amtrak and Union Pacific encourage a grade separation structure to take passengers from the Multimodal Transportation Center to the south platform. Amtrak would prefer an overhead walkway over a tunnel at this location for security reasons.
The Town currently has no funding for the design or construction of a walkway or tunnel. Because the construction of the Multimodal is already underway, Town staff recommends hiring Ratio Architects to perform a study to determine if a walkway or tunnel is feasible so that any necessary improvements can be incorporated into the existing construction project without major disruptions to the existing construction schedule.
TOWN COUNCIL ACTION REPORT
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS
Ratio Architects has prepared a proposal to perform a feasibility study in the amount of $11,300 with an anticipated reimbursable of $1,000 for a total study cost of $12,300. The scope of this feasibility study and the understanding of the project are detailed in the attached proposal. The results of this feasibility study will be shared with the Illinois Department of Transportation, the Illinois Commerce Commission, Union Pacific Railroad and Amtrak to decide whether a pedestrian crossing of this type is desired and to discuss potential funding sources. The Town may then wish to alter designs of the existing Multimodal Transportation Center so that a pedestrian crossing can be incorporated in the future without major modifications to the existing building and/or contract.
Based on the likelihood that a grade-separated pedestrian connection will be required in the future, Town staff recommends that the Town Council hire Ratio Architects to perform a feasibility study at this time. RESOLUTION NO. ______

TOWN COUNCIL ACTION REPORT
December 2, 2010
An Ordinance Amending Section 7.20-11 of the Municipal Code of the Town of Normal, Water Code, Sewer Division, to Require Overhead Sewers and Amending Section 11.1.4-2(B) of the Municipal Code of the Town of Normal, Plumbing Code, to Provide for Plastic Pipe
PREPARED BY: Greg Troemel, Director of Inspections
REVIEWED BY: Wayne Karplus, Assistant Corporation Counsel Randy Schoolcraft, Plumbing Inspector Steve Gerdes, Water Director Gene Brown, Town Engineer Robin Weaver, Public Works Director
BUDGET IMPACT: N/A
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approval
ATTACHMENTS: Proposed Ordinance, Minutes of the November 10, 2010 meeting of the Building Board of Appeals are included in the Addendum.
BACKGROUND
This is the last in a series of three reports that relate to the adoption of new, amended, or updated codes.
The Inspection Department currently enforces the State of Illinois Plumbing Code, 2004 Edition, with amendments, as produced by the Illinois Department of Public Health. The Plumbing Code (Chapter 11 of the Town’s Municipal Code) regulates potable water distribution piping, and plumbing drain, waste and vent piping installations for all construction. The Water Code (Chapter 7 of the Town’s Municipal Code) provides specific regulations regarding the installation of sewers. The proposed Plumbing Code amendments pertain to two sections of the current code that prohibit the use of non-metallic materials for private water supply piping. The proposed Water Code amendment creates a new requirement for the installation of overhead sewer systems for residential construction, specifically for levels of the home below grade.
Proposed Plumbing Code Changes
Building Water Distribution Piping: The first proposed amendment relates to the permitted material for water distribution piping inside a building. This amendment would allow for the use of cross-linked polyethylene (plastic) piping in a building. Current code only allows metallic piping.
Building Water Service Piping: The second proposed amendment relates to the permitted material for a building’s water service, which is the piping from the curb box (Town shut-off) into the building. This amendment would allow water service piping to be polyethylene (plastic) piping with specific tracer wire TOWN COUNCIL ACTION REPORT requirements that make it possible to locate the water line in the future for maintenance or repairs. This amendment is limited to residential use groups. Current code only allows metallic piping.
The state plumbing code has allowed the use of approved non-metallic materials for both water distribution piping and water service piping since 1998. The City of Bloomington amended its code in 2006 to align with the state code.
Water Code Changes
Overhead Sewer Systems: Over the years certain residential properties across the community have experienced sewer back-ups into the basements or lower levels of their homes. Scenarios where sewer back-ups may occur include sanitary sewer surcharge during intense rains, private or public sewer service failures or blockages, or sanitary sewer pump station interruptions or power outages.
The Town has undertaken several measures to reduce sewer back-ups. These include eliminating combined sewers, providing redundant back-up systems for lift stations, and implementing a rigorous maintenance schedule for the public sewers across the community. While these measures are helpful, they do not completely eliminate back-ups. The proposed ordinance would further reduce the potential for sewer back-ups by requiring overhead sewers in the following manner:
1. Starting January 1, 2011, overhead sewers will be required on all residential lots subject to a preliminary plan approved after January 1, 2011. 2. Starting January 1, 2014, overhead sewers will be required on all new residential construction regardless of when the lot was preliminarily planned or final platted.
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS
Plumbing Code Changes:
In the fall of 2007, the Building Board of Appeals authorized Town staff to administer a pilot program to allow the use of plastic water distribution piping on a limited application for the purpose of evaluating and becoming more familiar with the use of the material. Since then, seven such permits have been issued, including four homes, two apartments, and one mixed-use building. The installations were fairly routine, and to date we have not been advised of any post-installation or performance issues. Staff also consulted with Bloomington staff regarding their community’s use of the materials since 2006, and they indicated it has not been problematic.
Likely due to the downturn in the economy, there have been an increased number of requests for use of the pilot program as well as general requests to modify our code to allow the use of the non-metallic material as a matter of right. Based on conversations with general and plumbing contractors, it is clear there is a significant cost savings in using plastic materials over copper. Staff has provided the Building Board periodic updates as installations have occurred and has also shared Bloomington’s experiences.
Water Code Changes:
Over the past few years, staff has discussed requiring “overhead sewers” for new residential construction in an attempt to further reduce the potential for sewer back-ups. An overhead sewer is a pit that collects waste water from plumbing openings in a basement, and then pumps the waste up to the main level and into the gravity sewer serving the home. Essentially, the overhead system raises the elevation in the home’s plumbing drain system so that sewage would have to rise significantly before a back-up could occur. An illustration is included at the back of this report depicting a typical overhead sewer installation. While there is an additional cost to the builder to install an overhead sewer during new construction, there is a savings potential to the developer by reducing the depth of the gravity sewer system throughout a subdivision. These savings could be returned to the builder through lower lot development costs. TOWN COUNCIL ACTION REPORT
Overhead sewers are becoming more prevalent in many communities for residential construction. Peoria and Champaign-Urbana currently require overhead sewers for new construction. Through the annexation agreement process, the Town has required the installation of overhead sewers in the Trails at Sunset Lake, Blackstone Trails, and Apostolic Christian Church residential developments.
As proposed, existing developments (other than the three listed above) under an approved preliminary plan will have until January 1, 2014 to comply with this requirement. Town staff believes the 2014 implementation for previously approved lots will provide reasonable time for either development to occur, or for a developer to prepare to meet the requirement.
In addition to meeting with Bloomington staff, Town staff met with representatives of Local #99 Plumbers and Pipefitters (Darik Volz and Pat Hardesty), Gary Hinderliter (Bloomington Plumbing Inspector) and Brian Redd (Plumbing Contractor and Normal Building Board member) to discuss the proposed code amendments. Town staff also invited these representatives to attend the November 10, 2010 meeting of the Building Board of Appeals.
The Building Board of Appeals was convened on November 10, 2010 to formally consider the proposed code changes and to recommend adoption. As reflected in the meeting minutes, there was an extensive amount of question and answer related to the amendments, and all issues were addressed to the board’s satisfaction.
The Bloomington-Normal Homebuilders Association president attended the meeting and was supportive of the plastic pipe amendments but expressed concern over the cost associated with the overhead sewer requirement. There were no others present to offer testimony.
The Building Board of Appeals has recommended the adoption of the Plumbing and Water Code amendments as presented and, therefore, staff recommends the Town Council approve the amendments to the Plumbing and Water Code as proposed. If approved, the effective date of the amended Plumbing Code would be January 1, 2011, and the effective date of the amended Water Code (overhead sewers) would be Jan. 1, 2011 for new residential lots and Jan. 1, 2014 for all residential lots as explained more fully above.

TOWN COUNCIL ACTION REPORT
December 2, 2010
Resolution Adopting an Overhead Sewer Cost Share Grant Program
PREPARED BY: Robin Weaver, Director of Public Works
REVIEWED BY: Pamela S. Reece, Deputy City Manager Gene Brown, City Engineer Ed Thomas, Sewer Maintenance Supervisor Greg Troemel, Director of Inspections
BUDGET IMPACT: The amount of $75,000 is budgeted in the current fiscal year in the Stormwater Management Fund (510-7720-431.43-80) for this program.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approval
ATTACHMENTS: Proposed Resolution, Program Description
BACKGROUND
The proposed Plumbing Code changes addressed by Council in a previous agenda item require the installation of overhead sewers in new construction effective January 1, 2014. The issue of overhead sewers has been discussed in recent years as an instrument that can be used to minimize the risk of sanitary sewer back-ups.
The proposed grant program has been developed as an incentive to homeowners of existing homes to modify their basement plumbing to install overhead sewers to significantly reduce the likelihood of sanitary sewer backups within their homes. A version of this grant program was offered to certain Ironwood residents following sewer backups in the Ironwood subdivision. Adoption of the program by the Council would formalize the program and allow staff to take measures to inform and educate homeowners of the availability of the program.
Council may recall that in April 2006, when the new Stormwater Utility was created in order to address National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) requirements, one of the proposed programs through the Stormwater Utility was the development of an Overhead Sewer Grant Program.
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS
As proposed, the program would reimburse 50% of the cost of overhead sewers, up to $3,000 per home. Application, approval and permit issuance would be required in advance and the completed work would be inspected for approval before any reimbursement. Proposed funding for the program is from the storm water utility fees. The subdivisions currently under development, including Blackstone Trails and Trails on Sunset Lake, are required to install overhead sewer systems per the annexation agreements.
RESOLUTION NO. ______
RESOLUTION ADOPTING AN OVERHEAD SEWER COST SHARE PROGRAM
WHEREAS, the Town of Normal is a home rule unit of local government with authority to legislate in matters concerning its local government and affairs; and
WHEREAS, certain areas of the Town have, from time to time, experienced sanitary sewer backups creating flooding and environmental concerns within single-family dwelling units; and
WHEREAS, the installation of an overhead sewer system helps alleviate sanitary sewer backups; and
WHEREAS, it is in the best interests of the health, safety and welfare of the citizens of Normal to approve a program wherein the Town assists homeowners in the installation of an overhead sewer system in existing dwelling units; and
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE PRESIDENT AND BOARD OF TRUSTEES FOR THE TOWN OF NORMAL, ILLINOIS:
SECTION ONE: That the Overhead Sewer Cost Share Program attached hereto as Exhibit A be and the same is hereby approved and the City Manager is hereby authorized and directed to take any and all necessary action in order to implement said Overhead Sewer Cost Share Program, including the expenditure of funds budgeted in the Stormwater Management Fund 510-7720-431.43-80.
ADOPTED this ______day of ______, 2010.
APPROVED:
______President of the Board of Trustees of the Town of Normal, Illinois
ATTEST:
______Town Clerk (seal) Overhead Sewer Cost Share Program
The Town of Normal has developed a Cost Share Program for homeowners of existing detached single- family homes to participate in the installation and/or retrofit of overhead sewers. The program allows owners of single-family detached homes to be reimbursed for 50% of the installation of an overhead sewer, up to a maximum reimbursement of $3,000. The purpose of the program is to help protect homes from sewer backups.
The Town has invested millions of dollars to improve its sanitary sewer lines including but not limited to sewer lining, structural rehabilitation, and removal of sources of inflow and infiltration. Installation of individual overhead sewer systems is a cost effective method of dealing with potential sewer backups. Participation in the program can help increase property values and minimize homeowner costs by providing increased protection from sewer backups.
While no sewer is immune to backup, the most reliable method for protecting private property from sewer backup is the installation of overhead sewers. Modifications of the plumbing inside the home to an overhead system can dramatically reduce the possibility of the backup of sewage into the home or basement. Installation of an ejector pit and pump(s) to lift the building sewage above the elevation of the sewer in the street provides a means of positive protection. Installation of a separate storm sump pump for footing foundation drains may also be helpful. Installations of this type vary in cost depending on the necessary internal modifications. This program provides for a one-time 50% reimbursement by the Town, not to exceed $3,000, for the installation of overhead sewers.
A permit from the Public Works Department is required. To qualify, an application must be pre-approved prior to the work being started. Approval is based on a first-come, first-serve basis within budgeted funds. Homeowners will be required to obtain three quotes from licensed Illinois plumbers and a contract with one before doing the work.

Town of Normal Building Board of Appeals Meeting Minutes of October 13, 2010 Normal City Hall Conference Room C
BBA Members Present: Jeff Feid, Marty Behrens, Russ Arbuckle, Rick Boser, Terry Sims, Brian Redd, Scott Graves, John Blum
BBA Members Absent: Tom Anderson, Ken Frost, Richard Nice, Bob Hermes, Randy Timm, Fred Hahn, Jerry Everett
Staff Present: Greg Troemel, Scot Williams, Glenn Rosecrans, Troy Sondgeroth, Mike Beavers, Randy Schoolcraft, Rand Veerman, Wayne Karplus
Call to Order: The meeting was called to order by Chairman Jeff Feid at 5:18 pm. Mr. Feid noted the quorum required to conduct the meeting. The meeting opened with introductions.
Minutes from the November 19, 2009 were meeting were distributed for review. These minutes covered the board’s consideration of the 2009 I-codes. Greg Troemel noted a correction identified by Jerry Everett (absent) regarding discussion related to the IMC and Jeff Feid identified a spelling error on page one of the minutes. A motion to approve with the noted corrections was made by Marty Behrens and second by Scott Graves. Motion carried 8-0.
The purpose of the meeting was for the board to consider a recommendation of adoption of the following codes:
• 2009 International Fire Code, with Amendments • 2009 International Energy Conservation Code, with Amendments • Discussion and Update on the Pex Pilot Program
Greg Troemel provided opening remarks regarding the agenda advising the board the first two items on the agenda were action items needing a recommendation should the board see fit. The last item on the agenda would be for discussion purposes only. Building Inspection staff would be providing an overview of each code and would be prepared to answer questions.
Staff explained the meeting was advertised through the Open Meetings Act that provides notice to the various media outlets and through the use of the department’s e-mail list service.. The two codes being presented will be considered individually and the following sets of minutes will reflect the discussion, amendments, and final vote on each code.
2009 International Fire Code
Overview: Assistant Director Scot Williams provided an overview of the IFC explaining its application and enforcement was to regulate specialized commercial construction in combination with the International Building Code. The IFC functions as an “operational” code and provides detailed regulations for unique occupancies or uses that may not be clearly regulated by the building code. Examples of such uses could include amusement parks, hazardous material operations, aviation facilities, dry cleaning operations, and the like. Williams mentioned there many grammatical changes in the code intended to make it more clear however they were not deemed to be significant. He further indicated the Fire Department also adopts the NFPA code series and that where potential conflicts could arise, the town would enforce the more restrictive standard.
Board Discussion: The board raised questions related to conflicts with the Fire Department’s adopted codes, and if the proposed adoption was meant to include the appendices. Troemel advised the board that “Chapter 1 - Administration” of the code would modified consistent with past practice. The Legal Department typically makes minor modifications to the administrative chapter of the code to make our local enforcement more effective. The body of the code was not to be amended and included the appendices. After addressing the various questions raised by the board Chairman Feid asked for a motion.
Motion: Rick Boser Second: Terry Simms Vote: 8-0 to recommend approval as presented.
2009 International Energy Conservation Code
Overview: Troemel opened with an explanation that the proposed adoption and enforcement of the IECC was precipitated by the State’s mandate that new homes meet the code effective last January, 2010. In order for Illinois to receive federal stimulus money the state was required to mandate the use of an energy code and eventually show compliance in doing so. Staff explained that Normal had not previously adopted an energy code however with the state mandate we would need to do so for legal enforcement. Troemel indicated Inspection staff had spent a good deal of time in training the past year and is prepared to administer the code however there are elements that will require our local interpretation and policies.
Staff provided an overview indicating the IECC was a bit unique in that it has requirements for all four (building, mechanical, electrical, plumbing) disciplines. The obvious goal of the IECC is to reduce energy consumption and lower utility costs to a homeowner. Troy Sondgeroth opened the review by breaking the code down into its two basic compliance alternatives those being the Prescriptive Method and the Performance Method. Below are brief descriptions of each method;
Prescriptive Method: The IECC establishes exact methods of code compliance that a builder or owner can follow directly out of the code book. The builder is required to submit upfront documentation as to the path of compliance and ordinarily this would be the “ResCheck” software produced by the Department of Energy at no cost to the user. In this method the Town Inspectors can track compliance through our own field inspections. This is considered a more conservative approach and in general will likely be a more expensive construction approach.
Performance Method: The IECC also allows for alternative methods of compliance. In this method a builder can deviate from the specifics of the code’s prescriptive requirements and mix and match energy enhancements to ultimately achieve compliance. This involves the use of a “Blower Door Test” and the services of an Energy Contractor. This also requires the upfront submittal of documentation showing how the home will meet the code but then relies on a combination of either Town Inspector or Energy Contractor approvals. Based on builder experience, this method is proving to be a more cost effective construction approach.
BN Homebuilders Association President Guy DiCiaula was present to testify on the organizations behalf. The BNHBA had submitted a letter asking the board to consider the allowing the use of the performance method based on staff’s desire to limit the compliance method to only the prescriptive method. Earlier this summer staff had taken the position to limit compliance through the prescriptive method only. Several other communities have done so. Staff had since reconsidered its position and was supportive of allowing the performance method. Guy further testified the performance method allowed builders the potential to differentiate themselves from others, and had proven to be less expensive to his company. He indicated the overall cost to meet the code was in the $3,000 to $5,000 range depending on the size of the home.
The final piece in implementing the IECC would be to register Energy Contractors and to establish a baseline for qualifications. Given this code will require builders utilize a third party agency in some situations, staff felt it necessary to establish an annual registration of the contractors, and to use the International Code Council’s certification process for testing. The ICC offers a certification test on the IECC that assures a reasonable knowledge of the code and the ability to implement its requirements. The test is readily available and very economical.
Board Discussion: The Board raised several questions and offered comments that included a good deal of discussion all of which were satisfactorily addressed by staff. The questions and/or comments included the time impact on the department, how would remodeling projects be handled, the availability and cost of contractor certification, could homes be built to tight causing other health issues, occupancy in the event of non-compliance, scenarios of town versus private inspections, and several others related to the costs to the town and builder in adopting the code.
Staff concluded its remarks summarizing the reason for the codes adoption, the two basic methods of compliance, and the registration and testing of energy contractors. Troemel indicated this would be a learning experience the contractors and inspectors would go through together and clearly there would be give and take during the first year. After addressing the various questions of the board Chairman Feid asked for a motion. . Motion: Marty Behrens Second: Rick Boser Vote: 8-0 to approve with the amendments as presented.
Discussion on Pex Pilot Program (Plastic Water Supply Piping)
The board was reminded this was not a topic of formal action however staff was looking for their direction on moving forward. Randy Schoolcraft provided an overview of the various Pex projects we’ve experienced the past three years. To date we have authorized seven projects of which five were houses and two apartments. As directed by the board, the projects have been allotted to a variety of plumbing contractors and different building styles.
Schoolcraft indicated the installations have gone pretty well and that we have not been made aware of any concerns with the buildings in service. The board asked several questions regarding the time necessary to inspect, specific installation issues, and staff’s thoughts on codifying the material. Randy indicated the inspection process has been manageable and installation issues have been related to mixing fittings. Staff’s preference would be to come in line with what the State Code already allows, and what Bloomington is currently allowing. Randy also informed the board the latest edition of the plumbing code would not likely be available until 2012.
BNHBA President Guy DiCiaula informed the board his company uses Pex in new homes and it has been a significant savings. He also mentioned the ability to use plastic water service has been a great cost saving and that builders are looking to control or reduce cost wherever possible.
Chairman Jeff Feid asked for a poll of the board as to which direction they’d like to see staff move and 7 of the 8 present were supportive of bring the matter back to the board for code consideration. Troemel indicated he would start the notification process with the plumbing contractors and likely reconvene the board in November.
Old and New Business
• Staff updated the board on the current repairs being made to the Junction Place building located at Main and Hovey. In summary, staff indicated concerns related to exterior insulation finish systems and stucco in general citing the code and manufacturer’s specifications are very particular regarding installation. Town staff does not have the time necessary to fully monitor these installations and the Code Official has limitations requiring “Third Party Inspections” but we will be more adamant with future projects. The board agreed that staff should exercise its authority to require third party inspections based on the project size and extent to which the products will be used.
• Rand Veerman advised the board the 2011 National Electric Code will be out early in February or March and that were really not many substantive changes. Veerman mentioned there would be some expanded grounding requirements, but nothing significant in the way of cost.
The board was thanked for their expertise and service to the Town and its residents. The board’s recommendations will be considered by the Town Council at a November meeting. Chairman Feid adjourned the meeting at 7:10 p.m.

Call to Order: The meeting was called to order by Chairman Jeff Feid at 4:17 pm. Mr. Feid noted the quorum required to conduct the meeting. The meeting opened with introductions.
Minutes from the October 13, 2010 were meeting were distributed for review. These minutes covered the board’s consideration of the 2009 International Energy and Fire Codes for adoption as well as a discussion of the Pex Pilot program. A motion to approve was made by Marty Behrens and second by Rick Boser. Motion carried 12-0.
Chairman Feid opened the meeting with a review of the agenda. The purpose of the meeting was to consider amendments to the Plumbing Code that included the following:
• Remove the current restriction to use Polyethylene Pipe for water service material on residential property. • Remove the current restriction to use Cross Linked Polyethylene Tubing for potable water distribution • Implementation of an “Overhead Sewer Discharge” for residential properties with plumbing openings below grade.
Polyethylene Pipe for Water Service Material:
Randy Schoolcraft opened with remarks indicating the state code has allowed the use of the material since 1998, and that the City of Bloomington amended its code in 2006 to allow its use. Bloomington’s experience has been positive and clearly it is a more economical material at this time that copper. Randy further specified the requirement for the installation of a tracer wire for the ability to locate the service line for future repairs.
The board raised several questions regarding the amendment that included the following: • Specifics on grounding of the piping. • The use of the material above grade, or in an exposed application. • Installation requirements. • Ability to locate the material. • Use groups eligible to use the material. Town Staff responded to each of the questions explaining the tracer wire was for location purposes and not an “electrical grounding” issue. The exposure and installation questions were addressed by requiring the storage and installation of the material according to the specific manufacturer’s specifications. The last question clarified that this amendment would limit the use of the material to that of only residential use groups, not including mixed-use building.
Bloomington Normal Homebuilders Association (BNHBA) President Guy DiCiaula testified the association was supportive of this amendment as it would be a cost saving to the contractors.
Cross-Linked Polyethylene Tubing:
The second code amendment was related to allowing the use of Cross-Linked Polyethylene Tubing (Pex) for potable water distribution piping. Randy Schoolcraft provided background on the pilot program that has been in place since 2007 indicating we had seven projects participate. Early on the there were a minor violations related to mixing insert fittings however those have since been eliminated. Randy again indicated the state code allowed its use since 1998 and the City of Bloomington since 2006. Bloomington has not had any unusual or significant problems with the products use.
The board raised the following questions related to the amendment: • Restrictions of the product by use group. • Storage and handling of the material. • Use of the product in outdoor applications.
Staff responded to the board’s questions indicating the use of Pex would available to any building use group (commercial or residential) and that again installation and storage details would refer back to the manufacturer’s specifications.
There was extensive discussion related to item #5 in the code amendment that related to the use of plastic material for piping that serves private fire hydrants. Water Director Steve Gerdes expressed concerns that plastic piping may not be a suitable for withstanding pressure surges that may result in failures. Staff was agreeable to amend the language to restrict the use of plastic to that of the fire suppression system, but not including the underground fire service piping. It was recommended staff revise the language and forward it to the board via e-mail for a vote.
The following day (November 11) staff investigated language in the NFPA codes that made clear what the definition of “Private Fire Service Piping”. NFPA 24 clearly defines this term and this reference was added to item #5 as part of the code amendment. This was considered by the board via e-mail with a recommendation to approve.
Bloomington Normal Homebuilders Association (BNHBA) President Guy DiCiaula testified the association was supportive of this amendment as it would be a potential cost saving to the contractors. Greg Troemel informed the board that staff had met with representatives Darik Volz and Pat Hardesty of Union Local #99 Plumbers and Pipefitters to review the proposed amendments in a separate meeting in advance of the board meeting. This took place on October 25, 2010 with Troemel, Schoolcraft, Steve Gerdes, Brian Redd, and Bloomington Plumbing Inspector Gary Hinderliter. Darik and Pat raised several questions that were addressed by the staff. They were also welcomed to attend the Building Board meeting of November 10, 2010. Staff also issued a written notice of the proposed amendments to all of the B-N area plumbing contractors. We did not receive any response nor was anyone present at the board meeting to testify.
After much discussion, Chairman Feid requested a motion. Marty Behrens made a motion to approve as presented with 11. Section 890 #5 to be removed for a later vote, and Brian Redd second the motion. There was no further discussion and the motion was approved 11-1.
On November 11, staff forwarded the revised language for 11. Section 890 #5 for the board’s reconsideration. Via e-mail, this was approved by a 10-1 vote.
Note: Board member Tom Anderson excused himself from the meeting at 5:20 to attend a work related meeting previously scheduled.
Creation of an Overhead Sewer Discharge Requirement:
The final item for consideration was the creation of a new plumbing code provision to require the use of “Overhead Sewer Discharge” for residential properties with plumbing openings below grade. Staff provided an overview of why this code was being presented, and how the actual system would be constructed.
Gene Brown and Robin Weaver indicated the purpose of the system was to reduce the potential for sanitary sewer system back-ups in residential basements. Residents have experienced sewer back-ups as a result of pump station failures, failures or blockages in private lines, and system surcharges during heavy rain events. The installation of an overhead sewer would greatly reduce the chance of these events.
Staff explained that basically the system requires the installation of a pit and pump designed to carry the waste water from openings in the basement level and pump the waste up to the gravity sewer that carries the wastes from the plumbing fixtures in the levels above grade. This is a separate pit, pump and pipe system from the ordinary foundation sump pump system.
As an aside Robin Weaver provided an overview of the Town’s overhead discharge grant program tied to the Town’s Storm Water Management program. Ms. Weaver indicated homeowner’s would be eligible for town participation in the cost of retrofitting a home with an overhead sewer system. The town has funded this program in the 2011 budget and Ms. Weaver will be taking the terms of the program to Council for formal approval in the near future and indicated the board’s support of this amendment would be helpful.
Staff advised the board of how the requirement would be implemented for existing developments. Currently three newer subdivisions (that include over 500 lots) are subject to this provision through annexation agreements. For other developments under an existing approved plan, the provision would not become effective until January 1, 2014. This will allow existing developers or owners time to prepare or adjust to the requirement.
The board raised several questions on the details of overhead sewers that focused on: • System installation requirements. • Cost implications to the developer and builder. • Homeowner benefits. • Contractor safeguards. • Gravity systems being more reliable.
Staff responded that eventually the developer should realize a cost savings in not having to excavate as deep to install the sanitary system. It was also noted that the trench safety exposure could be greatly reduced with more shallow excavations. Staff acknowledged that there is an additional cost to the builder although the system would ultimately be a benefit to the homeowner and town in reduced exposure to sewer back-ups.
Bloomington Normal Homebuilders Association (BNHBA) President Guy DiCiaula testified the requirement would add potentially $1,500.00 to the cost of a home and place a maintenance obligation on the homeowner to maintain a pump. He also indicated it can limit the ability to finish basement spaces based on the elevated sewer entry point and additional piping.
At the conclusion of much discussion, Chairman Feid requested a motion. Scott Graves motioned to approve as presented, and Rick Boser second the motion. There was no further discussion and the motion was approved 9-1.
