BB. SOLID WASTE LICENSING FEES AND PROVISIONS - The
adoption of a proposed ordinance amending the Village
Code and an explanation of the shortfall of funds
required for solid waste impacts including SWANCC debt
service was discussed. Meetings were held with the
Industrial Park waste haulers and with their input it
was decided that an increase in the license fees was a
more equitable method than franchising the industrial
park.
Lauri Stone, President of the Greater O'Hare
Association of Industry and Commerce addressed the
Board stating that the businesses look upon the license
fee increase as an additional tax on the business
community which already carries the greater burden of
the taxes in the Village Ms . Stone requested that the
Board reconsider enacting the proposed ordinance and
looking elsewhere for the needed funds.
After discussion it was the consensus of the Board that
the Recycling Committee will meet with the Executive
Board of Directors of the Greater O'Hare Association
and reconsider the proposed ordinance. This item will
appear on the agenda for the January 14 , 1997 meeting
for consideration unless an alternative way of funding
is presented.

C. TOBACCO USE/POSSESSION BY MINORS - The Committee met on
Tuesday, November 19, 1996 with Ray Broderick,
Principal of Elk Grove High School and representatives
of the Elk Grove Police Department . Recommendations
from that meeting were discussed at the Committee of
the Whole earlier this evening and include changes to
the existing Village Ordinance with respect to the
possession and sale of tobacco products by minors . The
most significant change that is being recommended is
that the sale of tobacco products must be made by
someone of the same age as someone able to purchase
them, in other words the sale must be made by someone
at least 18 years of age. Also included is a provision
that in addition to the person actually selling a
tobacco product to a minor that the owner or manager of
the store also be held liable under the same ordinance
for that violation. This is to encourage businesses to
strictly enforce the policy with respect to the sale of
tobacco products to minors in the same way a purveyor
of liquor would restrict the sale of liquor to minors .

The responsibility of enforcing this ordinance is being
