14. REPORTS OF OTHER BOARDS, COMMISSIONS & COMMITTEES
a. CABLE TV COMMITTEE - TRUSTEES PETRI & RETTBERG
BASIC TIER RATE STRUCTURE - This item that was proposed by
Continental Cablevision was discussed at the last Regional
Meeting. The passage by the Village Board tonight of the
resolution postpones the acceptance of their proposal . This
does not have anything to do with the renegotiation of the
5 1/25/94
contract but rather the present rates . There was some
discrepancy in the methods that were used to calculate basic
tier as opposed to satellite tier. This data will be
further considered to determine if the proposed cable rates
were in compliance with the federal government criteria.
Acceptance has been postponed for another 150 days in order
to obtain more information.
The Village will be holding a public hearing on cable
service in Elk Grove Village in connection with the renewal
of the franchise which will be held on February 15 , 1994 at
7 : 00 p.m. in the Charles J. Zettek Municipal Building. All
Village residents are invited to attend and offer any
comments on the cable service . The public hearing will also
be televised on Channel 6, so that people who are not able
to attend the meeting will be able to hear the comments of
the residents concerning the cable service .

None
17 . REPORT FROM THE VILLAGE MANAGER
1 . CONCRETE REPLACEMENT PROGRAM - An outstanding
job was done by the Director of Public Works,
Tom Cech, and his personnel on the 1993
private participation concrete replacement
program. There were a total of 402 residents
and business owners who participated in the
program. The rates that the Village was able
to obtain were extended to the residents in
the Community. The residents purchased
$178, 585 worth of concrete work in 1993 .
This was the first time for this type of
program and it took 771 hours at straight
time and 203 hours of overtime to accomplish
the program because it was so well received
by the community. It is hoped that the
administrative time will be reduced in 1994
and still have a quality program. One of the
recommendations from the Director of Public
Works is to advertise the program earlier in
the year in order to have the program
completed by Labor Day.

18. NEW BUSINESS
None
President Gallitano presented further remarks on the announcement
made last Friday relative to the Busse Dam modification project,
stating that this a tremendous project that will be spearheaded.
It is a culmination of seven years of a lot of effort, not only
on the part of those present here, but also others who are not
here, in particular former Village President, Charles J. Zettek,
who after the massive flood in 1987 singlehandedly took the task
of trying to conquer the powers to be at Cook County Forest
Preserve and a variety of agencies . It has really been a lot of
hard work for the past 7 years . We owe a great deal of gratitude
to Mr. Zettek in his efforts to get that Busse Dam modification
underway and to get people heightened to the fact that relief is
needed in that area.
