President Zettek reported that at the last meeting of the O'Hare Advisory Committee by an eight to four vote the committee turned down the City of Chicago' s recommendation to mitigate noise that will be part of the 150 Study. That vote included a very pivotal vote of the Illinois Department of Transportation. The City of Chicago, however, has indicated that they will proceed with the 150 Study. The entire actions that will be submitted under the 150 Study will reduce the noise of the existing population by 2.9%, which is minimal . That is why the O'Hare Advisory Committee rejected the proposal . Chicago intends to have a public hearing in January, 1992. The Suburban O'Hare Commission will appear at that hearing and denounce and oppose the 150 Study and the noise mitigation as suggested by the City of Chicago. The Bi-State Commission which represents the states of Illinois and Indiana will have a public hearing on December 4, 1991 at the State of Illinois Building. This will be the first of many hearings giving an opportunity to learn what the Bi-State Commission is inclined to recommend for a third site for a superport and to hear testimony from the Suburban O'Hare Commission as well as other groups. The Bi-State Commission should then make a recommendation by the end of January 1992. The President reported that the Illinois International Convention Center Authority will be presenting another plan when they meet with Governor Edgar in January.

President Zettek and the Village Manager discussed the membership agreement with J.U.L. I.E. (Joint Utilities Location Information for Excavation) which has been on the unfinished business portion of the agenda since April 9, 1991. The consensus was to remove this item since the NWMC has reported no progress in negotiating the terms of the agreement. The Village Manager stated that the Village will be able to monitor that activity and police it as adequately as necessary, and there is no need to join the J.U.L. I .E. organization. The President requested Board action on an ordinance as prepared by the Village Attorney granting a variation from the Zoning Ordinance as it pertains to a deck which encroached four (4) feet into the required eight (8) foot side yard setback on property located at 1872 Oriole Drive.

The Illinois Department of Transportation has advised the Village that the plan for the multi-year construction of the expanded interchange of the Northwest Tollway and Arlington Heights Road and for the widening and improvements of Arlington Heights Road between Higgins Road and Central Road has been approved.

The Village Manager informed the Board that bids were opened today for the installation of a temporary traffic sional at Beisner and Biesterfield Roads. Five completed bids were received with the lowest bid coming from H & H Electric Company in the amount of $46,000.00. This amount is about $6,500.00 above the Engineers estimate made several several months ago. That amount of increase is believed to be due to winter conditions and a restrictive project schedule (completion by the end of January, 1992) . The recommendation is to accept the bid from H & H Electric Company. It was moved by Trustee Chernick and seconded by Trustee Czarnik that he Board award a contract to H & H Electric Company for a temporary traffic signal at Biesterfield Road and Beisner Road in an amount not to exceed $46,000.00.
