the Village and requested that there be a meeting with the Judiciary,

this problem.
The Village Manager responded to Mr. Klyber that the ordinance has been
enforced from time to time and that the parking in the driveways has

The Village Manager reported on the following:
1. The Solid Waste Agency Board of Directors will meet
tomorrow, Wednesday, April 11, 1990 at 6:00 p.m. in
the new facilities of the Northwest Municipal
Conference at Oakton Community College. A large
portion of that meeting will be devoted to
deliberating on the Agency's Budget, Interim Use

authorization to sell 16.25 million dollars in interim
notes to continue the Solid Waste Project.

location (Oakton Community College) , the Northwest
Municipal Conference meeting will be held. The
keynote speaker will be Village Attorney, George
Knickerbocker who will be talking about billboard
regulations and sign regulations. The Attorney will
speak to these subjects in light of his winning a
paramount case against Universal Sign Company which
reinforces local jurisdiction.
3. The managers of Palatine, Hoffman Estates, Schaumburg
and Elk Grove Village met to discuss the convention
center being proposed in Schaumburg.
All of the managers will be putting together
information materials that various village boards and
city councils in the area might be able to consider in
order to judge whether or not they wish to participate
in the funding of the convention center.
One change that has occurred in the funding is a
program that does not require the communities to
guarantee or back up the flow of the revenue coming
from the two percent privilege tax.
This is a major change in the program and the
financial advisors have indicated that they will be
able to sell the bonds on that basis at a slightly
higher rate then it might be if they were otherwise
backed by the "good faith" in credit of the member
communities but not at an excessive rate that would
make the project unfeasible.
4. The local Liquor Commission will conduct a meeting on
Thursday, April 19, 1990 at 8:00 p.m. concerning the
Where Else Lounge and its ability to retain its liquor
license.
- 5 - 4-10-90
5. The Annual Northwest Municipal Conference Dinner will
be held on Friday, April 20, 1990. Reservations must
be made by April 16, 1990.
6. The Village Board will meet with the Fire and Police
Commission on April 24, 1990 to discuss the ways and
means to improve upon the screening, selection and
placement process for police and fire personnel .
7. There will be a public hearing before the Zoning Board
of Appeals on May 1, 1990 to hear a petition from a
company on Landmeier Road to consider parking within
the 25 foot setback of the street. This area is
located within the I-2, Industrial District.
8. The O' Hare Citizens Coalition will be meeting in the
Elk Grove Village Municipal Building on May 3, 1990 at
7:30 p.m. The purpose of the meeting is to find local
support and local workers to participate in the
efforts to restrain the growth and development
activities under consideration at O'Hare Field.
9. The General Assembly has on its calendar HB2927 which
will require a referendum to adopt the Real Estate
Transfer Tax, for the first time in any community in
the State; and it will also require those communities
that have the Real Estate Tax on the books to hold a
referendum if they care to increase the tax levy under
that category or taxing power.
10. Continental Cablevision, in cooperation with a
number of other places, has developed a method of
communicating training programs dealing with the
handling of hazardous waste materials.
There was a 40-hour program put forth by the Federal
Emergency Management Agency and broadcasted over the
Continental Cablevision system.
The Elk Grove Fire Service people monitored and video
taped the program for use by the Fire, Police and
Public Works Departments.
11. A packet has been distributed regarding a new member
in the Central Dispatch/911 System. Prospect Heights
has recently been added to the system which consists
of Arlington Heights, Buffalo Grove, Mount Prospect
and Elk Grove Village.
The Village of Palatine will be joining the system and
the formal documents of membership which will be
considered at the Village Board meeting on April 24,
1990 are contained in the packet.
12. The Village is negotiating with PACE for a paratransit
system in the Village and the question of the
definition of Senior Citizen has come forth. A
survey, which was conducted, ranges in definition from
age 55 to 65.
The Village Senior Taxi Program defines a senior as
age 60 and the Zoning Ordinance also defines a senior
as age 60.
Therefore, it is recommended that in the dealings with
PACE the age of 60 be established as the age at which
a citizen is eligible for the lesser fare or Senior
Citizen rate. If there are no objections, this age
will be used in the negotiations.
- 6 - 4-10-90
13. PACE has advised the Village that bus route 416
Woodfield/Elk Grove bus route is falling well behind
in usage and is now below the standards of service set
for similar bus facilities and systems throughout the
PACE territory. Suggestions are being sought from the
Village as to how the Village feels the 416 perfor-
mance might be improved.
The bus route is now on a 1/2 hour schedule and they
are using a large vehicle. Suggestions of using a
smaller vehicle and running on an hourly cycle would
drive down the cost and increase the ridership. These
changes ought to bring closer together the standards
of services being expected by PACE in order to make
route 416 continue to be viable.
The Board is requested to submit any suggestions that
would deal with this possible loss of bus service and
the Village needs to respond to PACE in the near
future.
Discussion followed regarding a subsidy to PACE and/or
more advertising of the 416 bus route.
14. The Park District is planning to hold a 25th
Anniversary Parade on May 19, 1991. They are looking
for assistance in connection with Police and Fire
participation in the program and perhaps the
possibility of entering a float under the auspices of
the Village of Elk Grove.
15. The O' Hare Citizen Coalition has requested that the
Village take some action to try to convince the State
that it ought to require the City of Chicago to
participate in the State's planning effort for a third
airport and to dissuade the State from condoning or
permitting or otherwise allowing the City of Chicago
to strike off on its own to conduct an independent
study for a third airport within the corporate limits
of Chicago.
It has been stated in the newspapers that Mayor Daley
intends to undertake the study whether it is funded by
the State or not.
President Zettek responded that the Village does not have to take any
action at this time. The Village, as a member of the Suburban O'Hare
Commission, will be a part of the contingency going to Washington to speak
to the legislators regarding the O'Hare Airport considerations.
It was moved by Trustee Chernick and seconded by Trustee Gallitano that
the Board meet in Executive Session following tonights Board meeting for
the purpose of discussing pending litigation, litigation, salary treatment

The Village Manager requested that the Board authorize the Director of
Engineering and Community Development to proceed to take proposals for
