At this time, 10:01 p.m. , Trustee Gallitano returned to the meeting. Mrs. Pilihoski , owner of the property on Devon Avenue, also addressed the Board requesting their consideration to being a sponsor for the FEMA "buy out" of her property. President Zettek responded to this request by stating that the property in question is located in unincorporated Cook County and that the proper authority to approach would be the Cook County Board. The President further stated that it would not be fair to the residents of Elk Grove Village to spend their tax money to improve that property, when in fact, it would do very little in the way of flood relief as noted by the Illinois Department of Transportation. Mrs. Pilihoski has owned that property for 30 years and never sought annexation to Elk Grove Village and now wants the Village to annex the property at tax payers expense. The responsible party for that property is Cook County. Mr. James Stawarz, a Cypress Lane resident, expressed his opinion that the Village should acquire and improve the property on Devon so that it would look better to people on Devon Avenue who may think that the property, as it now stands, is part of Elk Grove Village. - 4 - 8-8-89 At this time, 10:07 p.m. , the meeting continued with all members present with the exception of Trustee Bosslet.
