DISCUSSION

14.A.

24-1527

Jail Water Usage

Director of Public Works Nick Kottmeyer let the committee know that there is an

increase in the use of water at the jail, and that this increase will mean that the FY25

budget for Facilities Management will need to substantially increase. Capital Projects

Energy Analyst Ian Johnstone and Director Kottmeyer explained that one reason for this

increased usage could be the installation of new water meters. Director Kottmeyer

emphasized that they are looking into all potential reasons for the increase.

14.B. 421 Murals

Facilities Management Project Supervisor Geoff Matteson presented information and potential

next steps regarding the murals at the 421 Building located by the County Board Room. He went

over the art history of the murals, and confirmed that the tribes represented in the artwork are not

from DuPage County. After previewing multiple preservation options, staff looked for guidance

from the committee on moving forward with short term or long term goals regarding what they'd

like to do with the murals.

There was consensus from the committee to move forward with the installation of small signage

with a link to additional information on the County website.
