Mr. Cech thanked the Board for authorizing the program and accepted the award on behalf of the Public Works Department.

The developers of the shopping center at Meacham and Nerge Roads have notified the Village that Wal-Mart, the anchor store of that complex, is planning to achieve an opening in November of 1992. - 3 - 2-11-92 2. Sometime in 1991 , the Village received a petition for a major sign to be placed on an industrial structure on Cakton Street. There was much conversation about the sign. The Director of Engineering and Community Development was directed to work with the sion company and the property owner to fashion a sign that might be brought back to the Board for consideration. As of this date, there has been no indication from the sign company or the property owner that they are doing anything further with the sign. The sign company will probably come back to the Village sometime in 1992 with a new proposal . 3. During 1991 there were seven or eight properties that illegally removed sections of curbing at driveway aprons in the Village. The properties on the West side of the Village, which were the focus of everyone' s attention, have remedied their driveways and removed and replaced the curb according to Village plans , specifications and standards . There is yet one piece of property on the East side of the Village that had to be treated in court and the Judge has issued a finding that the driveway curb is to be removed and replaced by May 20, 1992. Failure to do so will put the owner in contempt of court. 4. The Village has received the design plans for improvements to Interstate 290, which will take place along the southbound side of I-290 beginning at the Thorndale Interchange. There will be one lane added, both north and south of that interchange for southbound traffic from Thorndale to Interstate 355. The notification that this work is going to be taking place certainly tells us that the traffic conditions in this area are not subsiding and they have not yet reached their peak. 5. A report has been filed with the Board as to the economic development activities that are being pursued by the Economic Development Assistant. The report clearly indicates that Village money has been well spent and the results are beginning to flow to the Village that are both tangible and visible. There are a host of things that are intangible and really cannot be discerned at the present time which are on the front burners and will bring good results too, with continuing efforts . 6. The Solid Waste Agency will meet on Wednesday, February 12, 1992 at 6:00 p.m. at the NWMC facilities at Oakton College. The Agency will be talking about the final arrangements for the interim financing of the project. The MWMC will meet at 7:30 p.m. following the Solid Waste Agency meeting. 7. The Solid Waste Agency Director and the Assistant Director will meet with the Village Board at a Committee of the Whole meeting on Tuesday, February 18, 1992. The purpose of this meeting is to talk about the Solid haste Agency Use Agreement. The Illinois Environmental Protection Agency has granted a construction permit to the Solid Waste Agency to build a transfer station and baling facility in the vicinity of Central and North River Road in unincorporated Wheeling Township, just northeast of the City of Des Plaines. 8. The Village Manager noted for the record that in November he announced his retirement to be effective August 1 , 1992. The Village President presented a letter of recommendation from the Plan Commission to rezone the property located at 600 Busse Road from I-1 to B-2. It was moved by Trustee Gallitano and seconded by Trustee Bosslet that the Board concur with the recommendation of the Plan Commission and direct the Village Attorney to prepare an ordinance granting a rezoning from I-1 to B-2 for property located at 600 Busse Road. The motion was voted upon by general consent to the previous vote; AYE: Trustees Bosslet, Chernick, - 4 - 2-11-92 Gallitano, Petri , Tosto; MAY: none; ABSENT: Czarnik; whereupon the President declared the motion carried. The Village Manager referred to an item that was previously discussed by the Board at a Committee of the Whole meeting regarding "extra service charges" for additional inspections required of health care facilities and food processing facilities. The question being does the Village recoup the expenses in the Health Department for multiple inspections being made at food handling facilities and food service facilities and the like. The answer was "no, vie do not" under the present fee schedule; thereupon the Board of Health and the Health Coordinator were requested to examine that issue and make a recommendation to the Board. The Health Coordinator reported the Board of Health's consideration at the end of January and they recommended an ordinance that would establish a non-compliance service charge at certain kinds of facilities for multiple inspections. The recommendation was to charge that additional fee when the inspections go to more than three (the original inspection and two follow-up inspections) . The Village Board accepted the basic thrust of the ordinance, however, it was suggested that consideration be made to trigger the non-compliance service fee after the second inspection at $50.00 per inspection. It was moved by Trustee Chernick and seconded by Trustee Petri that the Board authorize the Village Attorney to prepare an ordinance as recommended by the Board of Health and amended by the Board as stated above. The motion was voted upon by general consent to the previous vote; AYE: Trustees Bosslet, Chernick, Gallitano, Petri , Tosto; NAY: none; ABSENT: Czarnik; whereupon the President declared the motion carried. It was moved by Trustee Tosto and seconded by Trustee Petri that the meeting be adjourned. The motion was voted upon by acclamation; whereupon the President declared the motion carried and the meeting adjourned at 9:13 p.m. Patricia S. Smith Village Clerk Charles J.
