Insurance Company to encroach 1.98 feet into the required 10 foot side
yard setback for property located at 1820 Lunt Avenue which would correct
a condition caused by a faulty plat of survey which was used when the

the adjoining property owner was received today stating differences and
conflicts between the property owners.

differences and give the Board time to review the transcript of the public
hearing.

1. The Solid Waste Agency Board of Directors will meet on
Wednesday, January 9, 1991 at Oakton Community College
at 6:00 p.m. The Board will be brought up to date on
the plans and progress of the agency. One of the
items that they will be discussing is the calling of a
public hearing in February to receive comments on the
Solid Waste Management Plan. The agency is asking for
any input that the Village may have on the Plan. The
Solid Waste Agency has also invited the Village Board
to accept a presentation by the Agency of the progress
of the Plan to put the balefill project in place.
2. The Northwest Municipal Conference will meet at Oakton
Community College, Wednesday, January 9, 1991 at 7:30
p.m. The topic of discussion will be the Conference' s
future.
3. The Village has submitted five (5) proposed issues for
consideration in the legislative package for the 1991
year as follows:
a. The Mandates Act.
b. A suggestion that the State pay for
benefits which it legislates for
municipal personnel .
C. Requesting that the Federal Storm
Water regulations be deferred until
further study aria data is collected on
the impact of those regulations.
d. A recommendation that the State
legislation be changed to permit
elected and appointed officials to
serve on the "911" Board of
Directors. (The Illinois Commerce
Commission has developed an
administrative ruling saying that only
police officers, firefighters and
paramedics may sit on the Board of
Directors. )
e. A suggestion that the State of
Illinois provide additional funding to
carry out drug enforcement activities.
The Northwest Municipal Conference will be holding its
annual legislative representative meeting on Saturday,
March 16, 1991 at the Woodfield Hilton Hotel in
Arlington Heights.
4. A report has been distributed from the Assistant
Village Manager regarding the Dial-A-Ride Program
- 5 - 1-8-91
which indicates that the program is being used very
well in the community. Based on the three months of
operations, the forecast is that the total Village
cost for the year will be substantially less than
anticipated at the beginning of the program.
The President added that the Pace Board is considering
a possibility of increasing the compensation from
$2.25 per ride to $2.50 per ride and/or 75%, whichever
is the lessor. This would lessen the financial
support required of the Village.
5. The Leaf Collection Program report by the Director of
Public Works points out that the project was
accomplished within budget and with only minor
disruptions of other activities.
The Director of Public Works recommends expanding the
program to other types of uses (schools, multi-family,
churches, etc. ) . The Board and the Recycling
Committee is encouraged to give that consideration.
6. The "911" Central Dispatch System is a little bit
behind schedule, however the system should be
operational by late spring or early summer. The
system is far more complex than anticipated. At the
present time the project costs are close to budget.
The building has been constructed and should be
occupied sometime in late February, at which time the
hardware and electronic gear will be installed.
7. The Village has received two notices from the DuPage
County Board of Review of Assessed Valuations
indicating that two property owners in the DuPage
County portion of Elk Grove Village are seeking a
reduction in their assessed valuation in excess of
$100,000 or more. In both cases the Village Attorney
has been requested to represent the Village and file
objections with the Board of Review opposing the
reduction of the assessed valuations.
The Village Manager referred to a previous request from the Police
Department for additional personnel , most of which was approved last
spring and in early September. At that time, three police sergeant
positions were requested, however it was thought that only two sergeant
positions should be authorized. The third position would be considered at
such time as the department reached its full strength when the recruits
completed their training.
The police recruits will complete their classroom training on January 23,
at which time they will be assigned to a field training officer to pick up
training for on street activities. At that time the police strength will
have almost reached full authorized strength. Authorization is now
requested to be considered for establishing one additional full time
police sergeant position.
It was moved by Trustee Chernick and seconded by Trustee Tosto that the
Board waive the first reading rule of an ordinance as it pertains to
amending the classification and salary plan of the Municipal Code by
adding cne police sergeant position. The motion was voted upon by
acclamation; whereupon the President declared the motion carried.
It was moved by Trustee Chernick and seconded by Trustee Tosto that the
Board adopt Ordinance No. 2140 entitled, "AN ORDINANCE AMENDING ARTICLE
4A.203, THE CLASSIFICATION PLAN, OF CHAPTER 4A, POSITION CLASSIFICATION
AND SALARY PLAN, OF THE MUNICIPAL CODE OF THE VILLAGE OF ELK GROVE
VILLAGE" . The President directed the Clerk to call the roll on the motion
and upon the roll being called the following answered AYE: Trustees Tosto,
Bosslet, Chernick, Czarnik, Gallitano; NAY: none; ABSENT: Petri ; whereupon
the President declared the motion carried.
- 6 - 1-8-91
It was moved by Trustee Tosto and seconded by Trustee Czarnik that the
meeting be adjourned. The motion was voted upon by acclamation; whereupon
