There will be a meeting of the Noise Abatement Committee on Thursday, May
25, 1989 at 9:30 a.m.
Trustee Hauser reported that TRANSPART met on May 10, 1989. The Executive
Director brought the Committee up to date on the Task Force that was
formed by Speaker of the House, Madigan. The Task Force has been divided
into sub-committees; one on finance, and one on inter-governmental
affairs.
The substance of the meetings of the two Committees is, that if they do
pass the legislation it will be for road improvement only, no money will
be allocated for mass transit use.
The "Bill " as discussed is only going to apply to people who have that
power now, which means only Home Rule Communities or the Counties of Lake
and DuPage. The Committee's will not set a fixed fee. The fee will be
set up between the developer and the community or the developer and the
county. The fee will be levied when the building is occupied, not when
the building permit is issued. There will be rebates from the impact fee
as it relates to other certain mitigation activities.
The Committee's also discussed the need of better planning for
right-of-way requirements.
Trustee Bosslet, Chairman of the Recycling Committee, reported that the
Committee met on May 18, 1989 and discussed the collection of leaves.
The capital outlay for this program, for curb pick-up, would be at least
$53,000.00 plus some other support equipment which the Public Works
Department now has on hand. Some of the ongoing programs that the Public
Works Department is now involved in would be delayed. There would also be
problems with collections on certain streets such as Arlington Heights
Road, Tonne Road, Landmeier Road, Elk Grove Boulevard and J. F. Kennedy
Boulevard because of traffic.
- 4 - 5-23-89
There have been problems in other communities, which have this service,
due to fires from catalytic converters and sewer backup when the leaves
get washed into the sewers due to rainfall .
The projected total to run this program would be $93,000.00.
The State has mandated that beginning September 1, 1989 you cannot dump an
entire load of leaves into landfills. You can mix the leaves with other
trash and garbage but on July 1, 1990 you will not be able to dump any
yard waste or landscape waste. The Committee thought it would be best for
the Village to get involved in a collection of leaves. The Health
Department will meet with Garden City disposal as to how to set up a
program that will meet with the new law.
It was a unanimous decision of the Committee that the Village not get
involved in the collection of leaves at the curb but to work on some
program with Garden City and/or other scavenger services for the
collection of leaves, grass, etc. in bags which would be biodegradable.
Discussion followed regarding the collection of leaves in bags, by a
scavenger company, as opposed to curbside pick up by Village personnel and
the ultimate disposal of yard waste.
Trustee Bosslet reported that the Recycling Committee also discussed the
pick up of Christmas trees by the Village in the two week period after the
Christmas season. The Committee recommends that the Board grant the
Public Works Department permission to initiate this program which would
cost approximately $5,000.00.
The Village Manager suggested that the Board authorize the Public Works
Department to begin to plan for the chipping of Christmas trees; however,
to withhold the direction to execute that program until negotiations have
been completed with the residential scavenger.
Under the present contract the scavenger is required to pick up everything
at the curb line for whatever the monthly charge is. If the Village is
going to reduce that volume then the Village should attempt to secure a
reduced charge to the homeowner for waste disposal unless the cost to
dispose of that material is higher than the cost of the landfill .
Trustee Bosslet reported that the Recycling Committee discussed an
ordinance amending the scavenger ordinance regarding the collection of
recycling at single family and multi-family residences. This ordinance
will authorize the Finance Department to issue scavenger licenses which
will be conditioned upon the scavenger company to come up with a recycling
plan by September 1, 1989 for the multi-family residences and wherever
there are curbside collections.
It was moved by Trustee Bosslet and seconded by Trustee Chernick that the
Board waive the first reading rule of an ordinance as it pertains to
provisions for residential recycling. The motion was voted upon by
acclamation; whereupon the President declared the motion carried.
It was moved by Trustee Bosslet and seconded by Trustee Chernick that the
Board adopt Ordinance No. 2044 entitled, "AN ORDINANCE AMENDING ARTICLE XL
- SCAVENGERS - OF CHAPTER 18 OF THE MUNICIPAL CODE OF THE VILLAGE OF ELK
GROVE VILLAGE BY ADDING THERETO PROVISIONS FOR RESIDENTIAL RECYCLING. "
The motion was voted upon by general consent to the previous vote: YE:
Trustees Chernick, Hauser, Petri , Tosto, Bosslet; NAY: none; ABSENT:
Gallitano; whereupon the President declared the motion carried.
The Village Manager reported on the following:
1. The Village and its consultants have completed another
step in the fulfilling of the consent decree entered
into with the Illinois EPA relative to cleaning out
the outfall ditch from the Devon O'Hare Treatment
Plant which was taken out of service.
The plan has been tendered to the State EPA and it
calls for cleaning approximately 900 feet of drainage
course on the east side of Elmhurst Road, pre-
sampling during the process of excavating of
- 5 - 5-23-89
material , and for sampling and testing the drainage
course after the work is completed.
An official of the IEPA believes that the Village's
plan, which is being advanced, is acceptable.
2. The EPA has rejected a permit to develop a
balefill facility for some 28 cities including Elk
Grove Village. The permit was cited as having 25
weaknesses in it. Work is underway by the staff of
the Solid Waste Agency and the consultants to remedy
those problems and to take the case back to the EPA
for their consideration.
There is an avenue for appealing the decision which
was rendered, however the Agency feels that the appeal
should not be sought. The Agency will try to
accommodate the EPA and discuss those issues which
would improve the balefill facility while making it
still an economically sound project.
There should be a staff report ready for review by the
Board of Directors at their meeting on June 14, 1989.
3. The authorization of the Board is requested to send
out a letter to School Districts 54 and 59 regarding
bicycle safety.
4. The Village has received several communications from
the state:
a. The Department of Transportation is urging
the Village to support the Governors proposal
to increase the gasoline tax by $.06 per
gallon in order to carry out a substantial
amount of backlog work in the way of highway
and bridge maintenance.
A portion of that money, if approved, would
be allocated to construct the Thorndale
Expressway (Elgin-O'Hare Expressway) .
b. The Illinois Municipal League has advised the
Village of the House's consideration of a
modest income tax increase for a period of
two years. During that two year period the
municipalities in the State would gain
approximately $30.00 per capita.
c. There has been verbal and written communi-
cations with Illinois Bell , Commonwealth
Edison, Cable Co. , and the Gas Co. who are
doing utility work in the parkways, that
they should immediately begin restoration
work.
The Village Manager requested authorization, from the Board, to execute an
application for a Highway Safety Grant in the amount of $106,012.00 which
would be used for purchasing the materials for making 2,150 signs to be
placed throughout the Village.
It was moved by Trustee Hauser and seconded by Trustee Bosslet that the
Board authorize the Village Manager to execute an application for a
Hihw9 X Sa_f_ety Grant in the amount of $106,012.00 to be used for the
purc ase oase of�materials for making signs which will be placed throughout the

Trustees an opportunity to inspect the site of the proposed sign.

vehicles from making a turn on the red signal when pedestrians are present
at the intersection of Arlington Heights Road and Biesterfield Road and at
