Mr. Joseph Sternbauer, 480 Franklin Lane, presented the Board with a petition for relief from the hazards of the condition of curbs and aprons which the petitioners feel exist. Mr. Sternbauer and several neighbors on Franklin Lane addressed the Board regarding their illegal cutting of the curbs adjacent to their driveway aprons. Discussion followed between the residents and members of the Board regarding inquiries to Village Staff and their responses, as well as policies of other communities regarding saw-cutting of curbs. Safety factors and the height of the curbs with relations to the elderly and to children was also discussed. The residents having been given an October 18, 1991 deadline to repair the curbs requested the Board to reconsider and allow the property owners to leave the curbs as is and if they show an early sign of deterioration the owners will replace them at that time. If they remain in tact for a standard period of time they would then be replaced by the Village at such time as the normal street and curb maintenance work is performed.

President Zettek responded that the Village will work with the Park District in finding a solution to this problem. This probably will not be done until prior to the parks opening next year. At this time 10:24 p.m. the meeting resumed with all members present as noted at the beginning of the meeting, with the exception of the Village Attorney. Trustee Bosslet stated that there is no doubt that the property owners on Franklin Lane broke the law when they cut the curbs. A couple of the people have stated that they are willing to pay to have the curb replaced when and if they deteriorate before the other curbs in the area that were not cut. Possibly a contract or covenant could be drawn that would protect the Village to the extent that the Village could get the curbs replaced. It must be done in such a manner that other people in the Village who might think about cutting a curb or parkway tree won't do it because the Village can't stand for that. It was moved by Trustee Bosslet and seconded by Trustee Gallitano that the Board set aside their earlier consensus and further review the problem of the curb cutting on Franklin Lane and look to a solution now that additional information has been received. The President directed the Clerk to call the roll on the motion and upon the roll being called the following answered AYE: Trustees Bosslet, Czarnik, Gallitano, Petri ; NAY: Chernick, Tosto; ABSENT: none; whereupon the President declared the motion carried. The Village Manager reported on the following: 1. The "911" system is now operating and anyone living, working or visiting Elk Grove Village may now dial 911 for emergency service. 2. The bridge over Salt Creek is under construction, therefore west bound traffic has been detoured. There is only one east bound lane open to traffic. 3. George Coney, Director of Finance produced a report pointing out that over the past 24 months the Village has received $1,600,000 of the State Income Tax surcharge, which has been extended this year. The estimate made two years ago of the revenue to be received from the surcharge called for about $1,700,000, therefore the Village is down about $100,000 from the estimate. We hope the economy will turn around very soon so the Village will not be faced with an economy crunch. 4. There is a copy of the Engineering plans in the Trustees Conference Room for a guard rail to be installed along Biesterfield Road west of Rohlwing Road. If there are no changes requested or no objections to the plans, Staff will place a notice in the papers for solicitation of bids for this project.
