Medical Center along Gloucester creating a traffic flow problem.
This also creates a difficulty for emergency vehicles to maneuver
quickly and safely in the area. It is the consensus of the
Committee to recommend the posting of No-Parking signs on the
south side of Gloucester. The sign would read No Parking Monday
through Friday between the hours of 6 : 00 a.m. and 6 :00 p.m. The
south side of the street was recommended due to fire hydrants
being located on the south side and would give easier access to
them for the Fire Department . The committee requested that the
Police Department perform an overall study of the traffic and
parking problems in this area based on statements made by the
citizens that were present at this meeting.
Motion to direct the Village Attorney to prepare an ordinance

Committee.

Live Cable Castinc - Trustee Petri sent a memo to the Board dated
May 22, 1997 regarding live cable casting and the satellite dish
location. These items are on the Committee of the Whole Agenda.
Trustee Petri stated that he wished to clarify the costs
associated with the live cable casting of Village Board meetings
which will cost the Village approximately $225 .00; (not
$82, 000. 00 as reported) the total is $2,225 .00 split between the
two boards . After it comes off the Village normal 4$-5t Cable
Revenue, the out of pocket expense will be $225 .00 . This will
allow for the live cable casting of both the Village meetings as
well as the Park District meetings and as noted in the memo the
Elk Grove Exchange could be done from the Village Council
Chambers. The $82, 000 is a fund that would be $ . 92 per month for
one year. That would allow the Village to do robotic cameras if
so desired or the Village could elect not to take the money at
all. There are other options to look at and other technical
feasibilities .
