The Suburban Mayors have suggested that they will resist any efforts of the City of Chicago or the O'Hare Advisory Committee to proceed with the "150" Study until the input from the Noise Abatement Committee and the Land Use Committee has been submitted to the full Board and subject to discussion and eventual admission by vote to the contents of the "150" Study.

The TAA is comprised of the South and Southwest Suburbs and some Chambers as well as the Suburban O' Hare Commission and now numbers some 66 to 70 suburban communities. This alliance is very much concerned with where the third airport is located as well as dedicated to no further expansion of O'Hare Airport. They have combined forces to be most effective in seeing that the Lake Calumet area is not picked for the third airport and that a "green" area is chosen.

The pre-school is now located at the Clearmont School ; however, their lease will be up in December of this year. President Zettek stated that there is still much work to be done on that building and the Board has not yet come to a decision as to how much space, if any, will not be used by the Village.

One of the requirements of the accreditation process is that a random survey be made of community residents to secure their input on a whole host of questions. A copy of the questionnaire has been distributed to the Board and authorization is need to distribute that communication to approximately 2,000 addresses in the community. (The consensus of the Board was to authorize the mailing of the questionnaire. ) - 8 - 5-14-91 3. The Police Department will be running the Village Picnic this year. They have reserved space at Busse Woods on Saturday, July 27, 1991. Before any more arrangements are made, they want to make sure that the Board is comfortable with the location and the date.

The Cook County Highway Department is in the process of planning additional street lights on the curve of Arlington Heights Road and Cosman. The Village will be responsible for maintaining and paying the energy costs for those street lights; the County will pay for the installation. The County has asked in their design process if the Village has a preference for the type of utility poles to be used for the lights. There are two choices: wood or aluminum. Staff recommends the aluminum poles due to their durability and their appearance. If there are no objections, the Cook County Highway Department. will be so notified. S. A letter has been mailed today, to a party in the Industrial Park who has been promising for three years to install a sidewalk. This Board granted them an extension last December with the understanding that the sidewalk be in place by May 15, 1991. There has been no indication that steps have been taken by the property owners to secure or even prepare a design to secure a permit for that sidewalk. The letter indicates the deadline will be extended to June 21, 1991, a date on which they think they can have the sidewalk in place. It was further indicated to the party that failure to have the sidewalk in place by that date will leave the Village with no alternative but to begin issuing - 9 - 5-14-91 citations for violation of the ordinance for each and every day that the sidewalk is not in place.
