President Gallitano reported the Board met today in Executive Session to discuss the progress of the negotiations in the settlement discussions between the Jewel Corporation and the Grove Mall . The Village is disappointed that the settlement discussions have not transpired more rapidly. There have been missed deadlines on both sides of that litigation and the Village has decided to embark on a 6 05-24-94 course aimed at getting a quick resolution of that dispute between the private entities . The Village will be looking at the following tentative timetable as far as actions that the Board will consider. May 24 , 1994 An ordinance will be presented to the Board for approval at tonight' s meeting that will extend the time period to determine the "Blight area" of the Grove Mall to 180 days . June 14 , 1994 Village Board Meeting - An ordinance will be presented before the Board designating the Grove Mall Shopping Center as a "Blighted Area" and also authorization for our Village Attorney, if the Board concurs, to acquire a preliminary appraisal in respect to the value of the shopping center in its entirety and in the Jewels' lease-hold interest . June 28 , 1994 There will be two (2) ordinances that will be brought before the Board for consideration. The first ordinance will be authorizing the Village Attorney to negotiate and acquire Jewel Corporation' s lease-hold interest in the Grove Mall Shopping Center property. The second ordinance will be proposed before the Board authorizing the Village Attorney to negotiate and acquire the entire Grove Mall Shopping Center. July 1 through July 31, 1994 - The timetable also suggests that through July 1 and July 31, 1994 the Village will be receiving final appraisal information from the consultant in an attempt to prepare any final offers and submitting offers to purchase the Jewel interest in the lease holding interest as well as the Grove Mall Shopping Center. The Board is hopeful the timetables presented this evening will expedite the entire process . If the process is not expedited, the natural conclusion of that process will be that the Village would consider a condemnation of the entire Grove Mall . President Gallitano requested that in light of this action being suggested tonight the Board consider the sign variation request from Joseph Freed and Associates requesting the placement of two freestanding "redevelopment" signs at each street frontage along Biesterfield Road and Arlington Heights Road and 4 outlot signs on the same site with two signs at each street frontage.
