The Village cannot regulate the prices, however the Cable Company must notify the Village ninety (90) days prior to a price increase. President Zettek stated that for the record the Village can in no way intervene or have any input as to the adjustment of rates by Continental Cablevision; and in all fairness they do offer good service and have made a good effort in recent months to improve the service.

This will be done on Fridays and Saturdays until Christmas. President Zettek reported there was a meeting of the Suburban O'Hare Commission on Monday, December 9, 1991 to discuss the budget. The recommendation by the Board/quorum that was present was to maintain the rate of $1.00 per capita for the year 1992.

The motion was voted upon by general consent to the previous vote: AYE: Trustees Bosslet, Chernick, Tosto, Petri ; MAY: none; ABSENT: Czarnik, Gallitano; whereupon the President declared the motion carried. The Village Manager reported on the following: 1. The Village Board concurred at the Committee of the Whole meeting held earlier this evening to proceed with the installation of street lights along Biesterfield Road, in particular, the first section between Beisner Road and Wellington Avenue. The Village has been looking into the question of street lights as part of the design issue, and also looking at the possibility of a $342,000 cost to install the street lights throughout that entire project including up to Arlington Heights Road. The Village has been attempting to secure favorable reaction from the Cook County Highway Department to pick up a portion of the cost, in particular, along Arlington Heights Road. That feed-back has not been received, therefore, that question is still open. The Village has been advised by the Illinois Department of Transportation that Federal funds, up to 60% of the cost of the street lights, will be available. That would save the Village approximately $205,000 on the present estimated cost. The Consultant will be instructed to include those street lights in Section 1. Staff will further pursue the inquiry with the Cook County Highway Department to determine their willingness to share a part of the lighting cost at. Arlington Heights Road. 2. There will be a meeting of the Solid Waste Agency Board of Directors on Wednesday, December 11, 1991 at the Rosemont Expo Center immediately preceding a Suburban Metropolitan meeting of a coalition of Mayors. This will be a first time - 3 - 12-10-91 event for the Payors and the NVVC's co-hosting and supporting that activity. The final Project Use Agreement will be up for consideration by the Board of Directors at their meeting. It is expected that the Solid Waste Agency Board of Directors will approve that document which has already gone through a couple of review periods by the Board of Directors and it has been under continuous review by the Executive Con;mittee for the better part of four or five months. Two special meetings were held with Managers and attorneys from the twenty-six (26) city members participating in that project. Their input and suggestions have been woven into the final documents as well as some suggestions from the Board of Directors. Copies of the document have been distributed to the Village Board and final action by the local municipalities in the project will not be expected until sometime in January, 1992, so there will be an opportunity to review it at the local level . The document is complex and confusing but in the final analysis it is fair and will treat all participating members in the Solid Waste project evenly and fairly. The Solid Waste Agency is moving ahead with the project. There will be a public meeting on the Wheeling Township Transfer Station conducted by the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency. The date for this meeting has not been set as yet, but will probably be held in the middle period of January, 1992. 3. Old Route 53 will be brought back into being with the opening of the Martingale Road extension on December 1E, 1991. That was a project entirely financed by the Village of Schaumburg at a cost in excess of $7,000,000. There will be a ribbon cutting ceremony at the Schaumburg Marriott at 9:30 a.m. on December 18, 1991. The Village will be consulting with the State Highway Department on the feasibility of installing, on a temporary basis, some directional signs to alert motorists that the new roadway is going to be open and available for use on and after December 18, 1991. 4. The date of January 14, 1992, following the Village Board meeting, has been tentatively set to discuss the outstanding stormwater drainage plans developed by the Village consultants and staff. That discussion will be with staff and the consultants; the following week of January 21, 1992, residents from the appropriate areas will meet with the Board and the consultants. 5. Staff has reviewed the several points made to the Village by the Illinois Department of Transportation with respect to sidewalks and retaining walls along the north end of Arlington Heights Road in connection with the construction of a full interchange at the Northwest Tollway and Arlington Heights Road. The only outstanding question from Staff is the funding for the retaining wall . The Village intends to pursue that matter further with the State on two grounds: 1. Design consideration; and 2. The outgrowth of the design cost to construct the facility. 6. Continental Cablevision will be increasing their fees in 1992. Those increases are on the conservative side. At this time, 8:36 p.m. , the President asked if anyone in the audience wished to address the Board. - 4 - 12-10-91 A gentleman in the audience spoke to the Board recarding the possibility of having a shoulder along Biesteri eld and Arlinyzon heights Reads fer riding bicycles. President Zettek informed the resident that the Village has sidewalks which can be used for riding bicycles along both of those roads. In the discussion that followed it was determined that the portion of road which the gentleman was questioning was not located with the Village limits. The meeting continued at 8:43 p.m. with all members present as stated at the beginning of the meeting. President Zettek told staff that the decorations around the Village grounds were beautiful and in keeping with the spirit of the holiday season. On behalf of the entire Board, President Zettek wished everyone a very Merry Christmas and a holy and joyous Christmas and a successful and healthy New Year. President Zettek announced that there will riot be a meeting of the Committee of the Whole on the 17th of December; and that this is the last Board meeting the Director of Finance will be attending due to his retirement on the 27th of December. George Coney made the statement that "it' s been fun". It was moved by Trustee Bosslet and seconded by Trustee Chernick that the meeting be adjourned. The notion was voted upon by acclamation; whereupon the President declared the motion carried and the meeting adjourned at 8:45 p.m. Patricia S. Smith Village Clerk Charles J.
