Ma.ps have been made on the improvements, but have not been dis~ribu- ted, if the council members are wanting a map before their delivered, pl.ease pick one up at the city engineer's office. This MFT has been approved by IDOT and council, but were not plannin~ on living by that map to the extent that everything on it we will be doing. We will probably be making some adjustments throughout the summer. One of those adjustments that you already know about is the complete repair of all the streets in the Fairview Heights addition. And, as a matter of fact we will be doing only about 2 of the streets. Another item that's not on the map and know attention has been called to it, and that is the work that is to be done on the railroad crossings, that's to be done in place of some of that work that we~we~e`g~ii~g to be doing on Fairview Heights. The mayor, city attorney and city engineer, will be in Springfield Thursday to discuss the upcoming 3ewer Treatment Plant project. The archaeologist will be working in Canton on Thursday trying to clear up the right-of-way for this project and hopefully they'll be working on both parts of the project; that is the south sewer and the west sewer. The public works department is handicapped quite a bit in the summer time, as well as the street department, due to vacations, so if you call and want something done immediately and its not taken care of immediately, bear with us. Alderman Sarff asked Cliff if a date had been given when the railroad crossing on avenue D would be closed? Cliff said he didn't have a date yet, but Jim Boyd Street Supt., said he was told that it would be sometime in the fall of this year, and that's because they have to repair Main stree~ crossing first with rubber and that's what is holding them up. 2~0 CONTINUED MAY 21st, 1985 COMMITTEE REPORTS: Finance Council.

ORDINANCE - ANNEXING AND REZONING CERTAIN TERRITORY TO THE CITY OF CANTON (WEST HICKORY LIMITS). First reading, read by title. Jim Malmgren City Attorney reported that this ordinance annex'>s approxi- mately 9 acres of ground on West Hickory to the City of Canton. Its property generally owned by Richard Long, and probably known to the general public as L and L Used Car lot, togather with some agricultural ground to the rear. Hearings were held in 1981 which recommended annexation and rezoning as Ag-1. We need an easement from Mr. Long on part a~f our sewer project. Part of the consideration is, we would~ expedite the annexa~ion, particularly since we need to be in a position tomorrow in front of the Illinois EPA that we have this easement. The easement is or will be signed and is being held in escrow by Mr. Long's attorney. So I would ask the council to consider suspending the rules on this and pass the ordinance on its first reading, so we can tell Illinois EPA tomorrow we have that easement. The ordinance does provide that rather then zoning the land agricultural, it would be rezoned conservation. There is no difference in that ordinance, as a matter of fact both agriculture and conservation are under the same - ~.~z CONTINUED MAY 21st, 1985 section of our zoning ordinance.
