VI.D. Approval of Prospect Heights Metropolitan Water Reclamation District (MWRD) Project (Action)
Description:
Prospect Heights is seeking permission to build
a storage basin on the District property. It would be located behind
the Prospect Heights Library. The storage basin is necessary if the city
gets the funding to move forward with its plan to alleviate flooding on
Elmhurst Road. This is part of the 100 year storm event plan. The
entire project would begin sometime in 2018 at the very earliest as
Prospect Heights needs to secure funding and multiple approvals. Please
take a moment to review the attached drawing.
There is still a question of liability that is unanswered as of release of this agenda. If it is not answered by Wednesday, we will not vote on the item. If the question is answered to the satisfaction of everyone the following motion needs to be read: I move to approve the C-502 Storage Basin - Area 2 - Elm Street Area for the Prospect Heights Metropolitan Water Reclamation District project.

VI.G. Enrollment Projections for 2017-2018 (Information)
Description:
Enrollment projections for 2017-2018 are the first step in our staffing plan. We start with the fall housing numbers of 2016. We then determine the five year average for retention and use that coefficient to predict future enrollment at each grade level. Kindergarten was at 132 this year, our lowest enrollment since the fall of 2012. We do not predict any significant changes in staffing, based on the projections.
