CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN
Capital Improvement Plan Overview
The development of a capital improvement plan is an innovative means to plan for the future financial and capital requirements
facing a community. Most municipalities which face either growth pressures or aging infrastructure utilize a capital plan to
insure resources are used wisely and efficiently. Lemont is unique in the sense that we face growth pressures and an aging
infrastructure. This fact makes it even more imperative that we continue to look at our long -term needs and plan for the future.
While the formulation of a capital plan has been a high priority on the Village Administrator's agenda for the past several years,
we have not had sufficient management information to determine what needed to occur within the community over the next
5 years. After a lot of hard work by the Village staff, hired consultants, Downtown Lemont, Inc., I &M Canal Commission and
Village Board, we are finally at a point where we can make reasonable projections into the future. The following list illustrates
what had to be completed prior to the formulation of this plan:
• Water System Mapping
• Sewer System Mapping
• Comprehensive Water Study
• Comprehensive Street Study
• Downtown Master Plan
• General Fry's Landing Master Plan
The only significant element which remains to be completed is a comprehensive drainage study and storm sewer mapping of
the Village. When this is completed we will be in a position to provide a much better idea of the capital requirements of this
important part of our infrastructure.
It should be noted that the adoption of the capital improvement plan is not a commitment to accomplish every project in the
time frames and manner indicated in the plan. It is to be viewed as a guide to future needs and potential methods of funding.
c1
Reasons For A Capital Improvement Plan
There are a number of reasons local governments may seek to undertake a capital planning strategy. The following summary
identifies the benefits of pursuing this task in Lemont at the present time.
A). One Year Vision Not Sufficient. As in the private sector, a single year vision is generally a recipe for disaster.
With scarce resources and conflicting needs it is necessary for local government to look far into the future to identify needs
and plan for their eventual accomplishment. The formulation of a five year plan provides a tool for the Village to keep the
long -term vision in focus.
B). Fosters Prioritization Of Needs. With a written capital improvement plan, it is much easier for elected officials
to analyze the needs of the community and prioritize projects when they are fully cognizant of the scope of the long -term needs.
The capital improvement plan format helps create a side -by -side comparison of projects and funding sources which would not
otherwise be available.
C). Encourages Project Coordination. By undertaking a comprehensive evaluating of long -term capital needs, one
is able to produce a document which identifies potential conflicts in coordination. Through this early identification we can
insure we do not undertake one project (i.e. street resurfacing) without considering the need to accomplish another
improvement (i.e. water main oversizing).
D). Reduces Project Costs. All infrastructure and capital equipment deteriorates over time. Proper planning can
sometimes dictate when an improvement should occur in an effort to reduce expenses later. An example of this was recently
illustrated with regard to the various means of maintaining local roads. By planning for the future one can schedule
improvements before they reach a critical and costly level.
E). Stresses Desire For Good Government. Proper planning and effective utilization of resources are a tenant of good
government. The adoption of a capital improvement plan sends the message to the public that decisions are based upon rational
and economic factors, rather than the stereotypical image of government based upon political concerns.
C2
Format Of Capital Plan.
The capital plan includes a brief narrative section providing a description and justification of the specified capital item. Also
included is an identification of the most likely revenue source, proposed year of scheduling, type of expenditure, and estimate
of cost. Although this document is referred to as a 5 year plan, an additional column labelled "beyond 2000" is included when
specific funding elements are known to extend beyond the first five years.
Specific capital expenses identified are limited to those single purchases which amount to at least $10,000. All items scheduled
for FY1995 -96 in the capital improvement are also proposed for funding in the FY1995 -96 operating budget.
Future Revision And Updates.
The capital plan is not a static document which is adopted and next updated at the end of the five year period. This document
must be examined and updated annually to accommodate revised priorities, revised cost estimates, funding issues, etc. It is a
tool to be routinely meshed into the budget process to insure it is effective.

DESCRIPTION AND LOCATION
PURPOSE AND JUSTIFICATION
Program anticipates expansion of Public Works structure and
available storage area. It is likely such land expansion could
also include a well and reservoir site.
The original site and building earmarked for Public Works was
not appropriately sized to accommodate growth. Despite the
best intentions, it is necessary to begin the planning for
additional space.

WATER SUPPLY EXPANSION
DESCRIPTION AND LOCATION
PURPOSE AND JUSTIFICATION
Improvement would involve construction of new deep well,
reservoir, well house, softening plant, supervisory controls and
pressure- reducer valves in 1996 -97; construction of a second
new deep well, softening plant, and well house in 1998 -99; and
construction of a third deep well, reservoir, well house and
softening plant in or beyond 2000 -2001.
Engineering and land acquisition costs are noted.
The Village will also need to pull each of the two deep wells for
maintenance during the next 5 years. The State Street well is
projected for maintenance and installation of a submersible
pump in FY 1997 -98. The Houston Street well is scheduled for
maintenance only in FY 1999 -2000.
This capital program is based upon the assumption the Village
Board decides to continue the deep well supply rather than
pursue Lake Michigan Water.
In order to provide sufficient domestic water supply and fire
flows to our growing community, it is necessary to provide for
additional wells and reservoir storage.
Engineering analysis is identified in Report on Water Utility;
Lemont, Illinois. (January, 1994, Strand Associates)
Well maintenance is required to guarantee maximum pumping
capacity of our water source. the submersible pump is
proposed to increase productivity of the well and decrease
energy costs.

SANITARY SEWER SEPARATION & CAPITAL MAINTENANCE
DESCRIPTION AND LOCATION
Project elements involve sewer separation of the combined
sewer system on those streets proposed for maintenance in the
Street Maintenance and Improvement Study (January 1995,
Strand Associates).
FY1995 -96 Program also includes Village share of Covington
Knolls sanitary sewer separation, payment of FIDC recapture
for Grade School site on 127th Street, and extension of Illinois
Street sanitary sewer.
PURPOSE AND JUSTIFICATION
USEPA, IEPA, and MWRD will eventually require combined
sewer separation. Good planning dictates that we coordinate
separation process to coincide with road improvements to avoid
likelihood of having to re- excavate new street surfaces.
Village is legally bound to proceed with Covington Knolls
separation and FIDC recapture for Grade School
Illinois Street sanitary sewer is required to correct a recently
discovered health hazard.

CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
VILLAGE OF LEMONT
FY1995 -96 THROUGH FY1999 -2000
CAPITAL PROGRAM: 127TH STREET (1 -355 TO ARCHER AVENUE)
DESCRIPTION AND LOCATION
PURPOSE AND JUSTIFICATION
In October of 1993, the Village requested that the Cook County
Highway Department begin to look at the 127th Street corridor
to commence planning efforts for the eventual construction of
the I -355 interchange, and inevitable roadway congestion.
Although no action has been taken to date, discussions are
moving forward to get this matter on the County 5 -year road
program.
The construction estimates projected for this improvement
assume a 4 -lane cross section, and assume the County will
participate to the level as indicated. The scope of the project
extends from the I -355 interchange to Archer Avenue.
As the I -355 Tollway interchange at 127th Street opens to
traffic, estimates project that the ADT will increase from its
present 2,600 vehicles to 12,000 vehicles (in the year 2010). In
view of this tremendous change in use, and in view of the fact
the County is seeking to transfer jurisdiction of the roadway,
efforts should be made to encourage the County to upgrade the
roadway to a level which will allow the Village to accept the
road.
