THE PRESIDENT AND BOARD OF TRUSTEES
OF THE VILLAGE OF ELK GROVE VILLAGE
HELD ON NOVEMBER 12, 1991
President Charles J. Zettek called the meeting to order at 8: 13 p.m, in the
Municipal Building, 901 Wellington Avenue, Elk Grove Village and noted for
the record that the following were present: Trustees Joseph T. Bosslet,
Ronald L. Chernick, Nancy J. Czarnik, Dennis J. Gallitano, Michael A.
Tosto; ABSENT: James P. Petri . Village Manager, Charles A. Willis; Village

were present at this meeting.
Members of Boy Scout Troop 95 of Christus Victor Lutheran Church led the
Pledge of Allegiance.
It was moved by Trustee Czarnik and seconded by Trustee Bosslet that the
minutes of October 22, 1991 be approved as submitted and that the Board
dispense with the reading thereof. The motion was voted upon by
acclamation; whereupon the President declared the motion carried.
President Zettek requested that items 0. and P. that relate to General
Obligation Bonds be removed from the consent agenda so that the Board may
consider those items at this time.
Mr. Ron Norene, Financial Advisor with R. V. Norene and Associates
addressed the Board regarding the issuance of $10,000,000 in General
Obligation Bonds.
Mr. Norene explained the Bid process and the Bond details as well as the
market expectations of yields. It was recommended that the Village accept
the bid of Clayton Brown & Associates, Inc.
Trustee Bosslet commented that he would be voting no on the Bond proposals
because he does not feel that the Village should be borrowing $10,000,000
at this inopportune time when the Village resources are limited even though
the interest rates are good. He further stated that to cover up the
drainage ditches on Elk Grove Boulevard would be a waste of $5,000.000.
President Zettek responded that he feels this is a very opportune time to
borrow that money because of the assessed valuation of the Village and its
outstanding financial base. The Village, in going out to market, will not
be putting an undue burden on the residents. The Bond Issue will cost the
average homeowner (based on the median assessed valuation of homes)
$16.00.
The Bond money will be used toward resolving and offering a deterrent to
flooding in four or five pockets of the Village as well as covering the
drainage ditches on Elk Grove Boulevard.
It was moved by Trustee Tosto and seconded by Trustee Gallitano that the
Board award General Obli ation Bonds, Series 1991, in the amount of
$10,000,000 to best idder Clayton Brown & Associates, Inc. , and adopt
RESOLUTION NO. 49-91, entitled "RESOLUTION CONFIRMING SALE OF
