Ms. Boyles stated she doesn't know yet, the project is out to bid now. - Change Order — Lafayette Building Exterior Masonry Renovations Mr. Kyle Silveus, Engineering; stated this increase is nearly at the 20% limit and is all due to unforeseen conditions revealed after the cleaning of the bricks and mortar. He noted they intend to re -open a portion of the adjoining parking lot next week and are working towards getting the remaining parking lot open soon after. - Professional Services Agreement — John Lankowicz Mr. Brian Donohue, Innovation and Technology, stated Mr. Lankowicz is leaving the City and has expertise in GIS and drone initiatives that the City wishes to contract with him on until new staff can get up to speed. He noted Mr. Lankowicz is a licensed pilot and helped build all the city drones.

Mr. Donohue noted Mr. Steiner will report to Denise Riedl, Chief Innovation Officer, who reports to the Mayor. - Temporary Storm Sewer Access Agreement — Madison Street Development LLC Ms. Maradik asked if the agreement has a clear definition of what temporary is. Ms. Boyles stated the Legal Department and Madison Development have come to a final agreement that was worked on by the City Legal Department. She read through the agreement confirming there is language that allows the City Engineer to revoke or terminate approval at any time for any reason with thirty (30) days written notice. - Professional Services Agreement — The Delta Institute Ms. Dorau stated this agreement was submitted by her and is for a non-profit group out of Chicago to work on a climate action report for the City to make recommendations on what the City can do to decrease greenhouse emissions. Mr. Gilot questioned if she can vote on the agreement. She noted she is the grant administrator, and is not a beneficiary of any funds. Attorney McDaniels confirmed there was not a conflict, but if she wanted to abstain from the vote, that would be fine. - Sidewalk Cafe Permit — Pegg's Mr. Gilot read through Engineering's comments regarding the set-up of the sidewalk cafe for Pegg's. He read Engineering has concerns based on complaints received last year about the tight corner along the south edge of the fenced area creating a tight 90 degree angle between the fence and the concrete -bordered sidewalk planter. Engineering recommended the Board require at least six (6) feet of space between the fence and concrete -bordered sidewalk planter rather than just five (5) feet. The Board discussed the ADA regulations that require five (5) feet and determined that due to the angle limiting access and complaints received, the requirement should be adjusted by the Board to six (6) feet. Mr. Gilot requested that DTSB be contacted and asked to work with the business owner on this pedestrian accessibility adjustment. No other business came before the Board. Upon a motion by Mr. Gilot, seconded by Ms. Maradik and carried, the meeting adjourned at 11:05 a.m. BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS M7 64 d' Gary A. ilot, Presi nt V" izabeth A. Maradik, Member Therese J.
