President Zettek reported that the Suburban O'Hare Commission held a press conference, which was attended by Congressman Hyde. The Commission voiced objection to a rider onto the Federal Tax Bill which would usurp powers from local government to have any impact on regulating noise and air pollution at airports. This Bill would also take away the ability of a resident/person who has any problem to seek out damages in the local authority or courts. They would need to go to Federal Courts in Washington D.C. The rider also has constraints on stage 3 aircraft. Nancy Yiannias , Heath Department Coordinator, reported that the Multi-Family Recycling Program has been postponed until January, 1991. Trustee Gallitano, Member of the Illinois International Convention Center, reported that the Intergovernmental Agreement has been passed by all of the participating communities. There is a deadline of November 15, to respond to questions by DECCA which will be met. The Board has been expanded to 9-members to include one representative from each of the participating communities. There will be a public hearing on Tuesday, November 27, 1990 in the Village of Schaumburg beginning at 3:00 p.m. This should be the final - 4 - 11-13-90 public hearing on the Convention Center before DECCA authorizes the grant monies of $20,000,000. The Village Manager reported on the following: 1. A water main break last week made it .-necessary for the Village to issue "Boil Water" instructions to residents in the Village east of I-290. A report on this incident has been prepared by the Director of Public Works. (Thomas Cech, Director of Public Works , gave a synopsis of the events that occurred relative to the main break which caused a sudden drop of water on Wednesday evening, November 7, 1990, at approximately 9:20 p.m. in the eastern zone of the water system. There was little or no water pressure from 9:34 p.m. until 10:35 p.m. when the pressure was brought up. There was no effect at all felt west of I-290, the western zone. The IEPA requires that a "Water Boil" advisory be issued when there is a loss of water for a period of 1-hour or more. The lab analysis of the water samples, which required a period of 36 hours to complete, showed the water to be (of) good quality. The loss of water was due to a major water main break in the Industrial Park in the vicinity of Estes Avenue and Nicholas Boulevard. The computer calculated a loss of 500,000 gallons of water in a time span of 45 minutes. Unfortunately this situation occurred when the elevated water storage tank (Pratt Ave. ) was out of service due to a scheduled internal inspection. The Public Works Department, with the help of the Police Department, was able to locate the break quickly. ) Mr. Cech and the Board discussed the computer system and the possibility of dividing the eastern zone into residential and industrial and the JAWA control system. The Board also discussed the various media used to notify the public regarding the "Boil Order". Public notification was deemed to be adequate due to the possibility of contamination being very slight. More direct door-to-door type notification would be done if there had been actual contamination of the water system. The Village Manager stated that as a result of this experience, the situation will be analyzed and a study made for future reference. 2. The I-290 and Biesterfield Interchange opened on October 31 , 1990. There is still landscape work to be done and some signage added. A lot of the cleanup/touch-up work has been and is being done by the State on a daily basis. The Elk Grove Police Department has been functioning under explicit instructions to be sure that vehicles with gross weights of greater than 5-tons are advised that they are not to be using Biesterfield Road between Plum Grove Road and Rofilwing Road. The State is fabricating signs to convey that message before the vehicles leave the expressway but the Public Works Department has posted signs along the route in the interim. - 5 - 11-13-90 The Police Department is in the process now of carrying out a warning program with those who operate trucks in excess of 5-tons. Citations will be issued by the end of the week. The impact of traffic in that area is' not known as yet. The short term usage thus far is not indicative of what it will be in the future. The extension of Martingale Road by the Village of Schaumburg is set for further construction activity in 1991; and the State Highway Department is planning to widen Rohlwing Road north of White Trail to meet Martingale Road. That ought to reduce some of the traffic flow across Biesterfield Road between Plum Grove Road and Rohlwing Road. President Zettek added that the sidewalk across the interchange bridge is being used by pedestrians and bicyclists. 3. The Northwest Municipal Conference will meet Wednesday, November 14, 1990 at Oakton Community College at 7:30 p.m. ; and the Solid Waste Agency will meet at that same location at 6:30 p.m. The Manager will attend the Solid Waste meeting and the President will attend the Northwest Municipal Conference meeting. The Solid Waste Agency Project has cleared the Cook County Zoning Board of Appeals in terms of a transfer station to be located in the vicinity of Central and River Road. Residents in that area have asked the County Board of Commissions to convene another hearing to consider the merits of that transfer station. The Village has written letters to the Cook County Commissioners expressing our views in support of that project, and other communities are doing that same thing. 4. Materials are being prepared by the Illinois Municipal League to which the Village has subscribed to provide information to our general public about the issue of property taxes and how those taxes impact on property owners. The Village will receive a video tape and printed material which will be geared to Elk Grove Village tax payers. The Village plans to distribute those materials over the next three to four weeks. At this time, 9:16 p.m. , the President asked if anyone in the audience wished to address the Board. A gentleman in the audience asked if the study being taken regarding the flooding that occurred in the Circle Bay Subdivision has been completed. President Zettek responded that those residents that experienced flooding will be notified when that study is completed. Mr. Duane Kois, 913 Wilma Lane, read a statement to the Board requesting that guardrails be placed on the curve at/on Biesterfield Road west of Rohlwing Road. Discussion followed between the Village Board and various residents regarding the placement of guardrails; and the study and recommendation by the Police Department that the need for guardrails is not evidenced at this time. President Zettek stated that the Board will look further at the situation and take into account the concerns of the residents that were presented this evening. It was moved by Trustee Tosto and seconded by Trustee Czarnik that the Board meet in Executive Session following tonights Board meeting for the - 6 - 11-13-90 purpose of discussing pending litigation. The President directed the Clerk to call the roll on the motion and upon the roll being called the following answered AYE: Trustees Petri , Tosto, Bosslet, Chernick, Czarnik, Gallitano; NAY: none; ABSENT: none; whereupon the President declared the motion carried. It was moved by Trustee Tosto and seconded by Trustee Petri that the meeting be adjourned. The motion was voted upon by acclamation; whereupon the President declared the motion carried and the meeting adjourned at 9:59 p.m. Patricia S. Smith Village Clerk Charles J.
