WEST CARROLL SCHOOLS

Thomson citizens say ‘no’ to building offer Opposition voiced during town hall event

Trager responds Thomson Village President Vicky Trager responded to the events of the meeting via email.

“I was pleased that the town hall meeting was fairly well attended, but would have liked to have seen and heard from more parents of schoolaged children. Those attending asked many good questions. The Thomson board worked hard to research the issues, and I hope we were able to answer their questions satisfactorily.

“The majority of those attending expressed regret at the closing of the Thomson school, and were very hopeful that the village could obtain it for community use. However, the cost of maintaining, repairing, and managing

By MICHAEL MILLER For Prairie Advocate THOMSON – About 50 citizens attending a town hall meeting Jan. 13 at the West Carroll Intermediate School building in Thomson literally “voted with their feet” on a proposal from the West Carroll school board to offer the building to the village for $100,000.

Village President Vicky Trager put three questions to those in attendance that night, in response to the offer from West Carroll.

First, Trager asked if the Village should walk away from the offer, and to stand if they were in agreement. Nearly the entire audience rose. The second question was, “Should the village make a counteroffer to the board?”, where only

the vast majority stood in agreement.

The Board of Education has agreed to separate this parcel of land out and has said that regardless of the decision on the building, is willing to cede this property to the village for a small nominal price.

Many citizens seemed frustrated by the need to pay anything for the building.

“Why should we have to pay for a building we already paid for?” asked Gene Marken. “We paid for this building, we paid for those ball parks, and now we’re paying off Mount Carroll’s debt, too. . .”

When asked what the plans were for the ballpark if the village decided not to take it over, Trager said the parcel would become part of the

West Carroll board member Jessica Edwards.

A third question, whether the village should enter into an intergovernmental agreement with the school district to acquire the small baseball diamond and play area adjacent to the property, for the cost of the survey, estimated at $2,000, the audience was much more receptive, and

a property the size of WCIS ultimately proved to be the deciding factor in the majority vote of the informal straw poll to decline the BOE’s offer.

“The next regular meeting of the Village of Thomson Board of Trustees will be Feb. 8. At that time, the board will vote whether to accept the Board of Education’s offer to purchase the WCIS building, and to proceed with an Intergovernmental Agreement to take ownership of the third ball diamond and play area. I would urge Thomson and York Township residents to attend that meeting or contact me or any of the trustees with any further questions or opinions.”

Contact Trager at 815-259-3700 for more information.

building parcel and the village would have little control over what happened to it, and it would be placed for auction.

Eric Smith asked if the village could afford to let the building sit, as is, with its yearly operating costs. Others wondered how the village would pay for the building, if they accepted the offer.

Trager said that she couldn’t write a check out for $100,000, but she could get a $175,000 loan for that amount because the village had zero debt. The funds

she’d spoken to.

She said the ongoing costs were more of an issue than the asking price of the building. Village board member Russ Gies gave a brief update on the state of the building’s roof. He said given the roof’s condition, his opinion was that it should be invested in before any inside work was done.

Jan Bristol asked if the offer of $100,000 was nego-

MORRISON

City wants residents’ input on historic park area Work starting on long-term use plan for southwest side

By PAM EGGEMEIER Sauk Valley Media

peggemeier@saukvalley.com

MORRISON – Green acres on the city’s southwest side used to be the place to be for residents’ recreation needs, but changing times and Mother Nature have conspired to relegate a piece of the community’s history to a place where fewer people are strolling through the park.

City leaders would like to change that, and they’re hoping the public can help. input from residents as they consider the future use about 17.5 acres near West Winacres is Waterworks Park.

In addition to a wealth of open green space, the park has a baseball diamond, playground, sand volleyball

courts, tennis courts, and a picnic area City leaders are concerned that several factors have Barry left the onceDykhuizen bustling area highly underutilized. this used to be a popular area for family events, but more frequently, and the city invested less in the area,” City Administrator Barry Dykhuizen said.

The Rock Creek’s propensity for spilling over, however, isn’t the only dynamic at play.

The Morrison Sports taking most of the baseballfacility on the east side of town. As is the case in many

Morrison’s green spaces Morrison Sports Complex – state Route 30 and Bishop Road Waterworks Park – West Winfield Street Kelly Park – Just off East High Street Kiwanis Park – North Genesee and Orange streets French Creek Park – Portland Avenue Robert A. Millikan Park – Downtown Morrison Veteran Park and Memorial – East High Street Morrison Rockwood Recreation Trail – Connects city with Rockwood State Park entrance Midwest towns, the use of tennis courts has gradually declined.

Another perceived problem is one of aesthetics, but that issue will soon disappear. The existing wastewater treatment plant is on part of the acreage, but with the new plant under construction, the area will be bulldozed and seeded for more green space.

The demolition of the old plant is part of the impetus for a new land-use plan for the area.

“Once the old plant is gone, it will greatly improve the recreational experience

there, and it will be a nice park area,” Dykhuizen said.

“It’s the oldest park here – community’s history.”

Dykhuizen said city serious discussions about the area’s future, and a few options have been tossed decide is whether the city even wants to keep all of the acreage. Part of the land is out certain uses.

Because the plans are to be long term in scope, some on the council have an eye on future needs.

Jim DuBois

“The council did express an interest in possibly putting up some housing along Win-

Dykhuizen said. “Additional housing isn’t a short-term need, but this is a long-range plan.”

Talk has even turned to creating a trail from some of the available green space.

“We are having the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board, and other boards and commissions look at this, and then we’ll start gathering public input,” Dykhuizen said.

Dykhuizen said private interest in the land will also be gauged, but ultimately the decision will come down est level of use for the area.

Finances are also likely to factor into the decision. sprawling sports complex, a

veterans park and memorial, and the Rockwood Recreational Trail to maintain.

The costs fall to the city because Morrison has no park district established as a separate taxing body.

Earlier this year, the city was looking for ways to cut escalating maintenance costs at French Creek Park, at Portland Avenue near state Route 78. That park has also seen declining usage, in part because of soccer’s exodus to the sports complex.

“When you look at per capita parkland, we’re probaverage,” said Jim DuBois, director of the sports complex. “Financially, the city isn’t equipped to deal with parks, so we need to do whatever we can to reduce maintenance costs.”

Dykhuizen said a public meeting for Waterworks Park will be scheduled after the city’s boards have had a chance to further develop and discuss options.

WHY DO I NEED SEO?

Think of your website as your showroom, your cashier, and your best salesman...

Your showroom that never closes, and your cashier and salesman that never go home, or take a day off!

What is SEO? SEO stands for Search Engine Optimization. It is the process of making a website as visible and prominent as possible in search engine results.

Why should I be concerned about optimizing my site for search engines?

A fast-growing percentage of all retail sales take place online. That means that every year more and more money is being spent through websites rather than in stores.

If a business does not take its place in the online world, it will lose that portion of the market—a portion that grows bigger every year.

At least 95% of all online sales start out with customers searching for products. Customers have the opportunity to search through hundreds of millions of websites out there, but in reality, they only see a few. If your website is one of those few, you get a chance at capturing those leads as potential customers!

Which websites are those lucky few? Well, it isn’t luck; those websites are optimized for search result by constantly updating and changing with search parameters. Those websites understand SEO and the need for consistent, fresh, and high-quality content that other internet users would want to link to.

MORRISON

By PAM EGGEMEIER Sauk Valley Media peggemeier@saukvalley.com

MORRISON – The city ment agreement needed to build its new wastewater treatment plant.

The Morrison City Council on Monday approved a resolution with local farmer Hugh Nelson, the last of 10 easements needed to install the necessary sanitary sewer and force main piping system upgrades.

Some of the agreements have been with private landowners, while others have been with organizations that include the Morrison school district and the Whiteside County Fair Board. The fairgrounds, at 201 W. Winproject site.

“We’ve been working our way through this process the last couple of years, and this was the last one,” City Administrator Barry Dykhuizen said.

Because it is a new building at a new site, the piping must be connected with the existing system. The force Broadcast Schedule 2016

main must go under some of the Nelson farmland in order to link it with the new treatment plant. Nelson’s easement protects not only the condition of his land, but the livestock on his property.

Some of the piping will be made larger in an effort to increase the facility’s capacity.

“This will enable the new plant to handle more water in heavy rain,” Dykhuizen said.

Some of the easements are permanent, while others are temporary to accommodate the presence of large machinery during the construction process.

Construction started last month thanks to unseasonably mild weather conditions. Ground was broken Dec. 10 at the plant site on the west side of state Route 78.

“Leander [Construction] is on-site now, and they will be doing as much work as possible through the winter, weather permitting,” Dykhuizen said.

If forecasts hold to form, much of the grading and earth-moving work can be

done now. Bids will be put out in March for the second phase of the project, which is primarily the lift station work.

The city will take out a loan from the Environmental Protection Agency for the nearly $20 million project. The loan is for 20 years at an interest rate of 1.86 percent. The city is still waiting for the EPA to complete its new lending guidelines, which could open the door to some savings.

The result of those efforts could have a big impact on future water and sewer rate hikes for residents.

“We are supposed to check in with the EPA in mid-March, and if all of the rules pass as advertised, cant difference in bills,” Dykhuizen said.

The city will try to take advantage of a proposed hardship rule that offers a reduction in principal for factors including unemployment rates and median income. It’s a rule that been talking about, too.

Grand opening likely in late winter, early spring HARTIG

CONTINUED FROM A4

“In addition to the pharmacy and some aspects of the pharmacy that may be new. ... I don’t know the extent of what the Stout Pharmacy offers right now, but we do have programs through Hartig Drug that include a ready go online or call in and get We do offer delivery within a certain radius of most of our locations.”

Savanna’s Hartig will deliver on Tuesdays and

Thursdays; presently this is just within city limits, according to President Keith Bibelhausen, but they are looking to expand this service outside the city. Hart also has a prescription savings plan to offer customers whether they have private insurance or not.

Montgomery said that Hartig also offers a “wide range of giftware,” and an “extensive line of nature made vitamins as well as at-home care products to assist people who are either recovering from procedures or just need something to make their lives easier.”

Hartig President Keith Bibelhausen visited the store on Jan. 6. He said that Stout’s Pharmacy owner Bruce Stout had contacted him about ten years ago, and was looking at an “exit strategy.” Bibelhausen said that during this time frame, he had learned about Savanna, and found that it’s size was a “sweet spot” for Hartig. He noted that keeping everything local was a “hallmark of success” and that Hartig’s people would be involved in churches and Bibelhausen expressed his strong appreciation for the efforts of Mayor Tony

McCombie, who “has been very cooperative,” and who “went out of her way” to be helpful.

Hartig will be leasing the building from owner Dennis Bowman, who recently closed shop on his Radio Shack/Time Video business.

Bibelhausen said the grand opening will likely take place in late winter or early spring.

He said that he had a “great crew” in the Hartig employees, all of which transferred over from Stout’s Pharmacy.

The store will be open from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday to Friday, and from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturdays.

She added that if the village should end up leasing it to a governmental body, the village would lose tax exempt status for that property.

“There’s no way that the village could take over the building on its own,” she added. “We would have to itself,” adding that she felt it was essential that the community get use of out the building if it were to acquire it.

Trager said that she had spoken with people who might be interested in the building, but that the village “was not in the real estate business.”

If the village were to end up selling the building, she noted that there were associated costs including appraisal, survey, and putting it out for bid. The village, she

added, would not be able to accept a bid less than 85 percent of its appraised value.

Taking on the building would require at least two-part time workers in order to maintain it, Trager said.

She added that if the Thomson prison became fully the prisoners could be counted as part of the village population, which would garner the village $350,000 in general fund taxes. Grants were another funding option, she said, but reminded everyone that grants are not free, that there are associated costs and that grants would help with repairs, not with operating costs. She said her opinion was if the village was just going to “mothball” the building, they should not purchase it.

Bristol asked about the auction process, and what would occur should the village turn down the offer. She asked whether the closing

for the building would be

by June 1, and Trager said this was “not a hard target,” according to what the school board had told her.

West Carroll Board President Mike Highland agreed, saying if the village turned down the offer, the building would either go out for sealed bids or the board could have an auction. He said that he and Edwards had intended to give the building to the village, but that convincing other board members to do this was “like pounding your head against a wall.” He reassured the audience that there were no plans to gut the building, and that usable items for the district would be taken, while items they could not use would be trashed.

Nancy Whitney advised caution when proceeding with the purchase. She said the building could likely be a “money pit.”

“The school board thinks

it’s not worth it, but we’re going to give it to another taxing body that has no way to do repairs, with few people and no pocket money,” she said. She advised letting the school board “put the albatross around its neck.”

These actions will be taken into consideration by the Thomson Village Board on Feb. 8, and presented to the West Carroll board at that body’s meeting on Feb. 17, where the issue will be an agenda item.

SAVANNA

In-system treatment plant work done for year City now waits for approval to go out for bids

By MICHAEL MILLER For Prairie Advocate SAVANNA – Public Works Superintendent John Lindeman told the Savanna City Council that the work on the in-system portion of the wastewater treatment project was “done with what work’s going to be done on the system this year,” save for some leveling off of the existing site.

Now the city is waiting for approval from IEPA and EDA to go out for bids on the wastewater treatment plant,

Lindeman said. Hopes were to get the bids out by Jan. 15, but he’d not heard back from those agencies yet.

The bid would be for the original design as the base bid, with an alternate to reuse the wet well at the existing treatment plant instead of building a new lift station on the east side of the railroad tracks, a model which had savings built in, perhaps up to $500,000.

The second alternate design would be to alter construction of the treatment plant, whereby the aero mod would be raised above the head works building which would require another lift station to be built at the site.

Lindeman said this method

way” to build it, but would likely be the cheapest way in terms of bids, though the operational costs of this method should be considered as well.

Lindeman said the hopes were that the IEPA loans would be 45 percent forgivable, but that there was no guarantee for this.

Council also approved a request for funds from the Finance Committee for $76,099.16, representing Draw #4 for the IEPA loan for the In System Sewer Project, with $20,014.20 allocated for the construction engineering done by MSA Engineering, construction done by Fischer Excavating, for $22,069.50, $5,000 for project man-

agement by Community Funding and Planning Services, and reimbursement to Fischer Excavating for line item overage, in the amount of $29,015.46.

Mayor Tony McCombie said that the city had come to an agreement with Kramer North America for its requested use of portions of Marquette Park to facilitate the construction of the Savanna/Sabula bridge, whereby Kraemer would pay the city $5,000 for this access. The contract begins Jan. 4 and will terminate on May 31, 2018.

McCombie said she’d also made an agreement with Consolidated Grain and Barge for use of the old city hall on Main Street,
