OLD BUSINESS  
Public Works Regulatory Manager Greg Phillips provided the committee with an update on the  
efforts to form a Special Service Area for the Liberty Park subdivision in Westmont. He outlined  
the communication efforts that Public Works took to collect votes from residents on whether  
they voted "yes" or "no" to forming a Special Service Area. Mr. Phillips said that typically Public  
Works would like confirmation that 60% of a community would like to move forward with a  
Special Service Area before creating one. Less than 60% "yes" votes were placed on file for the  
Liberty Park subdivision, so it appears that they will not move forward with a Special Service  
Area at this time.  
A letter from the Village of Westmont Public Works and DuPage County Public Works will be  
sent out to residents of this subdivision that will state that the County can still assist them in the  
future. The letter will state that residents and the Home Owners Association of Liberty Park can  
move forward with a petition process, if this is something they want to move forward with in the  
future. Member Chaplin discussed potential future funding options for this project. Member  
Galassi and Member DeSart inquired about details regarding this project with Mr. Phillips.

NEW BUSINESS  
Director of Facilities Management Tim Harbaugh stated that he is looking for consensus from  
this committee to discharge an item for necessary repairs to structural support for hot water  
pipes, and allow it to move directly to the Finance and County Board committees on March 14th,  
2023. The Public Works committee members provided consensus on this, and agree to allow this  
item to move forward.  
ADJOURN  
With no further business, the meeting was adjourned.
