meeting of the Committee for Wednesday, February 13, 1991 at 7:00 p.m. to
discuss the Street Maintenance Program and the sidewalk waiver which was
passed at the last Board meeting. The Village Engineer was requested to
attend this meeting.
Trustee Petri , Chairman of the Cable TV Committee, reported that the
Regional Group will meet on February 7, 1991 at 8:00 p.m. in Hoffman
Estates.
President Zettek reported that the O'Hare Advisory Committee met recently.
Chicago is pursuing putting together a "150" Study that will probably
demand a majority vote by the Noise Abatement Committee with regards to
the contents of the study as to mitigating noise and air pollution.
President Zettek reported that there will be a meeting shortly of the
Suburban O'Hare Commission for a vote for a new chairman of the commission
to replace Chairman Marty Butler, Mayor of Park Ridge, who has recently
been appointed to the Senate to replace the newly elected Lieutenant
Governor Robert Kustra. President Zettek is recommending the appointment
of John Giles, Mayor of Bensenville, who is the Executive Director of the
Commission.
Nancy Yiannias, Health Department Coordinator reported that the bids for
the large containers to be used for the multi-family recycling program
will be mailed Friday, January 25, 1991.
Trustee Gallitano referred to two recycling ordinances which were prepared
by the Village Attorney for the multi-family recycling program.
Trustee Gallitano and the Village Attorney discussed the subject of the
Village' s option to have an audit of the scavengers books by a Certified
Public Accountant at the Village' s expense; and what would happen if there
should be a discrepancy in the audit; and should the scavenger then pay
that cost.
The Village Manager responded that there is no penalty stipulated;
however, the burden of maintaining the supervision of that work falls on
the Village. It would be most unusual to call in an independent auditor
to audit the scavengers books. There would be other things going on well
in advance of that kind of event that would account for perceived
differences.
Trustee Gallitano suggested that the Village Attorney look at that section
of the ordinance and revise it, consistent, with the provision that the
Village be given the ability to recoup the audit expenses in the event of
a discrepancy. Also to make clear that the "Firm" would have to pay the
discrepancy.
The Village Attorney stated that the Village could take measures prior to
having an audit done by having a license hearing and probably suspend the
license unless the scavenger agreed to make payment to the Village of the
difference including the cost of the audit.
Trustee Gallitano requested that the Village Attorney look into this in
the future, should there be an amendment to this proposed ordinance.
It was moved by Trustee Gallitano and seconded by Trustee Chernick that
the Board waive the first reading rule of an ordinance as it pertains to
multi-family residential recycling. The motion was voted upon by
acclamation; whereupon the President declared the motion carried.
It was moved by Trustee Gallitano and seconded by Trustee Chernick that
the Board adopt Ordinance No. 2143 entitled, "AN ORDINANCE AMENDING

ELK GROVE VILLAGE". The President directed the Clerk to call the roll on

has been done according to the specifications imposed

There is still a problem in those areas where the
concrete has been ground down and we do not have a
solution to that problem, as yet. The problem with
the visibility of the striping will be looked at by

program for the period between January 1, 1990 and
December 31, 1990 shows that the program has been a
very successful activity. An outlet has been found by
Garden City and Waste Management for the newspaper
products in Arizona, which reflects an increase from
zero in October and November, 1990 to a net gain of
$20.00 per ton.
The Village Manager informed the Board that the Village experienced an
electrical service fault at Pump House ;2 that put the entire water
pumping station out of service. In order to keep that reservoir in
operation, the Director of Public Works asked and was granted permission
to retain C. A. Riley Electrical Construction Company to make emergency
repairs. That work has been completed at a cost of $4,352.53. The
concurrence of the Board is requested for the award of that emergency
contract.
It was moved by Trustee Tosto and seconded by Trustee Petri that the Board

in the amount of 80% of the project are available and that the Village has
a commitment for that 80% given the preliminary estimate cost of
$640,000. The Federal Government will put forth $512,000 to replace the
