The Village Manager reported on the following items:
1. The Fire Department reported that 267 school children
adopted a fire hydrant near their home, which is a
very important factor as it helps the Fire Department
make the hookups to the fire hydrants without
shoveling snow away from those facilities.
This is a tribute to the Fire Department to be able to
enlist the services of that many children to help with
this important activity.
2. A few months ago the Fire Department conducted
training for 110 high school sophomores in CRP. This
project emphasizes the kinds of activities the Village
is engaged in that go well beyond the things that
cities normally deliver.
3. During the eleven months of 1987, the police offenses
on the overall are down 12%; serious crimes are down
7.7%; and misdemeanor and petty offenses are down
13.9%.
4. The Village has made contact with Commonwealth Edison
Company to install a street light at the intersection
of Biesterfield Road and the main driveway leading
into the Grove Shopping Center. It was noticed that
during the winter months the visibility at that
location is extremely poor and has been aggravated by
the opening of the Elk Crossing Shopping Center.
Crossing of the street at that point is not encouraged
but the fact is that people will cross and it is felt
that a street light at that location will be of some
assistance.
5. The Devon-O'Hare Treatment Plant disconnection and
removal from service efforts are going forward. The
Village has been in close communication with the
Village of Bensenville, who is the partner in this
project. They need to build a major interceptor
transmission pipeline and pumping station in
Bensenville to serve Elk Grove Village and the Village
of Bensenville. That contract is about 70% completed
and should be finished in April , 1988.
Bensenville is still in negotiations to secure
easement right-of-ways for the pipeline to connect
with the Devon O'Hare Treatment Plant. The design
plans for the connecting pipeline from the treatment
plant to the Bensenville system is approximately 70%
completed.
Bids should be sought in late February and
construction should begin in March, 1988. All designs
for this project are to make sure that the Village is
- 4 - 1-12-88
in full compliance with the Clean Water Act by July of
1988.
6. The Northwest Municipal Conference will meet
Wednesday, January 13, 1988 at 7:30 p.m. in Mt.
Prospect. The speaker will be Sheriff O'Grady, for
the purpose of updating the Conference on what has
been happening in the Sheriff' s office in the service
of the Northwest community since he was elected to
office.
7. The Committee-of-the-Whole will meet with the Board of
Health on Tuesday, January 26, 1988 at 7:00 p.m. for
the purpose of receiving and discussing a proposal for
conducting a community survey relating to elderly
members of the community.
8. The budgets will be submitted to the Manager' s Office
by the end of January, 1988, and will be reviewed with
the Department Heads through the first weeks of
February, 1988. The present schedule calls for the
Board to review the departmental requests and the
Manager's recommendations between the period of
February 15 and March 18, 1988.
9. The Attorneys representing 20-25 municipalities of the
Northwest Municipal Conference area will be meeting to
review two basic documents for the creation of a solid
waste agency. The one document will be simply to form
the agency and the second will be to develop the
interlocking agreement for participation and sharing
of the cost to finance that operation. This meeting
will be held in Mt. Prospect on Thursday, January 14,
1988 at 9:00 a.m.
10. Excavation has begun on Biesterfield Road near Link
School for the installation of a traffic signal , which
should be completed by the end of January, 1988.
