Fireworks
The Village of New Baden would
like to wish everyone a happy
Independence Day and remind
residents that setting off fireworks
within the Village is against State
law. Illinois’ Pyrotechnic Use Act
bans the sale, possession, and
use of consumer fireworks. For
the July 4th weekend, the New
Baden Police Department will be
responding to firework complaints
on a case-by-case basis and will
be issuing warnings and,
potentially, citations. Residents
should exercise caution and their
best judgement to celebrate our
Nation’s independence safely.
409 E. Hanover Street
618-588-7793
Crosswalks
With the extra summer pedestrian
activity, motorists are urged to be
aware of pedestrians and
bicyclists. State law requires that
motorists yield to pedestrians in
crosswalks. Similarly, pedestrians
are encouraged to always be alert
and cross streets at the corners or
in crosswalks. JULY 2016
Lack of State Budget May Stall Interstate
64 Construction Project
In April of 2015, the construction
along Interstate 64 at Rieder Road,
West of New Baden, began. The
project includes a new interchange
and widening of the Interstate; and it
was supposed to be completed by
June of 2017.
Highway 161. The interchange may
require improved traffic controls and
the surface of Highway 161 is
deteriorating rapidly. If IDOT
determines these improvements are
needed, a lack of State funding may
hinder or delay this work.
However, the State of Illinois
legislators did not pass a budget for
fiscal year 2016. And now, they
might not be able to agree to pass
one for fiscal year 2017. This has
impacted numerous communities,
organizations, school districts, and
individuals throughout the state.
And recently, IDOT has started
informing contractors on their
construction projects that, if a budget
is not in place by June 30, the end of
the State’s fiscal year, that work may
have to be suspended. There are
stopgap budgets proposed as of the
writing of this newsletter, but if this
work stoppage occurs, many New
Baden residents will have to continue
to safely navigate the Interstate Work
Zone for a longer time.
The lack of a budget, as happened
last year, also threatens future
Village revenues from sources such
as Use Tax, Motor Fuel Tax (for local
street maintenance), and Video
Gaming. Additionally, the Illinois
Department of Transportation (IDOT)
purchases water from the Village for
the Gateway Rest Area and is now
11 months behind on the water bill.
The Village has also been working
with IDOT officials to monitor the
traffic and roadway conditions at the
interchange of Interstate 64 and
Information to help motorists be safe
on Illinois highways can be obtained
from the Illinois Highway Safety Plan
at www.ishsp.org. This information
includes:

On average, over 90% of all
Work Zone fatalities are
motorists. Obey the posted

Updates on Recent Village Board of Trustee Actions
Rezoned Property on Clinton
County Line Road
At the June 6th, 2016 meeting, the
Board of Trustees approved an
ordinance changing the zoning
classification of recently-annexed
property at 700 North Clinton County
Line Road from Agricultural (“A”) to
Single-Family Residential (“SR-1”).
When property is annexed into the
Village, it must be annexed as
Agricultural. The property owner is
seeking to develop Northridge
Estates Phase II on the site.
Ordinance Establishing
Prevailing Wage Rates
Each June, the Village is required to
pass an ordinance establishing local
prevailing wages, as guided by the
Illinois Department of Employment
Security. Due to the State of Illinois
budget crisis, the most recent
determination of prevailing wages is
from July of 2015. The Board of
Trustees approved this ordinance at
the June 6th Board meeting.
St. George Parish Picnic
Also at the June 6th Board meeting,
the New Baden Board of Trustees
approved three requests related to
the St. George Parish Picnic to be
held on August 13th. The Board
approved the closing of Hickory
Street, the issuance of a Class “E”
liquor license, and a request for signs
to be placed in the Village Park
promoting the event.
Approval of Motor Fuel Tax Bids
Bids for the Village’s street
maintenance program were opened
at 10:00 a.m. on June 6th and the
Trustees approved the low bidders at
the Board meeting that evening.
The materials, typically referred to as
“oil and chip”, are bid separately.
The low HFE-150 bid (the “oil”) was
from Don Anderson Co., Inc. from
Hoffman, IL for the amount of
$24,733.80 and the crushed stone
aggregate bid (the “chip”) was from
Beelman Logistics, LLC from East St.
Louis, IL for the amount of $14,220.
The oiling for the maintenance
program should occur on July 21st
and 28th. Residents are urged to
watch for signs along the streets to
be oiled and to remove their vehicles
from the roadway if possible.
Police Department Activities
At the June 6th meeting, Chief
Meinhardt discussed the use of
fireworks by residents during this
upcoming Independence Day
holiday. The recent policy has been
for New Baden Police to respond to
firework complaints and issues when
they become a nuisance. It was the
consensus of the Board and the
recommendation of the Chief to
continue enforcement as the
department has done in the past.
Residents are urged to use good
judgment and celebrate safely.
The Chief also delivered some bad
news at the Trustee’s meeting. An
existing squad car may have a blown
motor. The Chief has obtained repair
estimates and the low bidder was
from Kehrer Chevrolet. The Board
approved for the Chief to proceed
with the repairs or motor
replacement, up to $3,800.
The Board also approved to begin
advertising for an additional New
Baden Police Officer. The shift for
which the new officer will be hired is
commonly referred to as a “power
shift” meaning a flexible time of the
day where an additional officer is
required. This shift is expected to
cover commuting hours and extend
into the evening / early morning.
The shift requires a Memorandum of
Understanding (MOU) with the
Village’s Collective Bargaining Unit to
adjust the wording of the union
contract. The MOU was approved at
the subsequent June 20th Board of
Trustee’s meeting.
EMS Billing Company
At the June 6th Board Meeting,
Administrator Hemmer and EMS
Director Allen Gilbert provided a
presentation from third-party billing
company Andres Medical Billing
(AMB) from Arlington Heights, Illinois.
By using AMB, the Village will gain
an improved level of health insurance
compliance, will adapt to standard
coding practices, will see reduced
workloads, and may see an increase
in collected fees. AMB will charge
the Village 6% of all fees collected.
While no contract has been approved
at this time, the consensus of the
Board was in favor of suspending the
bidding requirement and reviewing a
one-year contract from AMB.
North 2nd Street Culvert Bids
A contract agreement with Gelly
Excavating from Highland, the low
bidder, was approved for the North
2nd Street Culvert project in the
amount of $254,896. The
engineering estimate of probable
costs was $340,000.

Code Corner - by Jerry
The Chamber of Commerce Business Spotlight
New Baden Chief Building and Zoning Official
Jerry Green discusses some of the Village’s
Ordinances and Codes.
For this month’s business spotlight
we spoke with Bernice Pollmann,
manager of Southern Mutual
Insurance Company. Mutual
insurance companies in Illinois
have been saving policyholders
money for more than a
hundred years and were originally
formed when farmers had
difficulties obtaining insurance
coverage for buildings, livestock,
homes and machinery. Mutual
insurance companies differ from
stock insurance companies in that
they are operated and controlled
by a board of directors who are
elected by the policyholders, who
own the company.
This month, I’d like to build upon an
article from last month’s New Baden
News about Dogs. I’m often asked
questions such as “What kind of
animals are we allowed to keep in
town?”, “How many cats are you
allowed to keep?”, “How many dogs
is too many dogs?”, “What can I do
about the noise of the neighbor’s six
barking dogs?”, or “How do we
control the smell from the house that
has eighteen cats or my neighbors
yard who has six dogs?” These
questions all lead to the ultimate
question, “Don’t I have a right to
protect the value of my property?”

The vacant lot at 9 N. 2nd Street, where New Baden
previously demolished a residential home, remains for
sale. A formal offer was received in December but then
withdrawn.
The residential lot is in the first block north of Hanover
Street. Specifics include:
 77.5’ wide along N. 2nd St. x 100’ deep
 Buildable area is 52.5’ wide x 45’ deep
 Zoned SR-3, Single Family Residential
 Manufactured home could be allowed as
special use
 Recently appraised value of land is $12,000
 Parcel number 11-10-18-167-004
The Village has invested about $14,700 to date to
acquire the parcel, demolish the previous home, and
prepare the lot for sale. While ideally it would like to
recoup as much of those costs as possible, the only
restriction on price is that it can not be lower than 80%
of the appraised value, or in this case at least $9,600.
The Village also expects the buyer to pay all closing
costs, so there is no additional cost to taxpayers.
Interested persons should submit a written offer and
identify if they want a full closing with title insurance, or
will simply accept a deed from the Village. For more
information, contact Village Administrator Mike Hemmer
at [email protected] or by calling Village Hall
at 588-3813, ext 3.

Eagle Scout Park Pavilion Project is
Complete
The installation of the wind barrier on the Lions Club Pavilion in the Village
Park is complete and being used. In January, Colton Holtgrave received
permission from the Board of Trustees to proceed with the addition on the
north side of the pavilion. The wind curtain is made of heavy duty material
and is operated by a hand-crank system, when needed. The crank is
stored in the kitchen area of the pavilion. The curtain has been in operation
since April.
Colton developed the idea for the project because he remembered helping
his Grandfather tack up some plastic sheeting for a friend’s 60th Birthday
Party. A sudden weather change and rain had threatened to stop the party
plans. While saving the party, Grandpa noted that he had seen a tarp
system at one of the pavilions in Breese. Colton conducted research and
modeled the New Baden system after the tarps he reviewed. With the help
from his fellow scouts and other volunteers, the wind curtain was installed
for $1,100. Colton also raised over $1,500 for the project, with the
remaining $400 being donated to the Village Park in the hopes that future
curtains will be installed.
