The motion was voted upon by general consent to the previous vote: AYE: Trustees Chernick, Gallitano, Hauser, Petri , Tosto; NAY: none; ABSENT: Bosslet; motion carried. The Village Manager reported as follows : 1. At the Northwest Municipal Conference on Wednesday, March 9, 1988 at 7:30 p.m. at the Mt. Prospect Library, the program will be devoted to a discussion of recycling and composting, which is one of the work activities assigned to the Conference by the member cities in preparation of the Solid Waste project. - 2 - 3-8-88 There are almost 30 cities that have signed up with an intent to participate in the Solid Waste Project. The meeting is going to be devoted to disposal recapture and marketing those materials for income purposes. 2. A public hearing on the Village budget to be held on Tuesday, March 22, 1988 at 7:45 p.m. will be advertised. 3. On Tuesday, March 15, 1988, 7:00 p.m. , there will be a Committee-of-the-Whole meeting to discuss the renovation of the Public Works Garage and the possibility of relocating the Landmeier Fire Station. 4. Notice was received from the Division of Aeronautics, Illinois Department of Transportation, advising that they have reviewed the Alexian Brothers Medical Center petition for the construction of a helistop at the hospital to handle trauma cases. A helistop is required in order for the hospital to receive trauma center status. A public hearing before the Plan Commission is scheduled for Wednesday, March 16, 1988. 5. There will be a meeting on Wednesday, March 16, 1988, 7:00 p.m. , in the Municipal Building in Elmhurst. A second meeting will be held the following night in the Village Hall in Arlington Heights. Both meetings will be conducted by the Department of Aviation, City of Chicago, for the purpose of acquainting the general public with a Part 150 Airport Noise Compatibility Panning Study for Chicago O'Hare International Airport. One of the end products of the study is to develop a "foot print" or a "hand print" over the region surrounding O'Hare Field, indicating what the estimated noise level will be in the coming years as a result of the continued expansion at O'Hare Field. The bottom line that will come out of that study is it may be very difficult to sell property at what we would otherwise be considered fair market values. As the noise levels go up, the value of property decreases and the seller of the property will have to declare to the perspective buyer that his property is either inside or outside of the high noise impact area. 6. A communication has been received from the Northeastern Illinois Planning Commission (which Staff is reviewing) . The Illinois Environmental Protection Agency and the Northeastern Illinois Planning Commission have been compiling information for some period of time about solid waste disposal sites throughout the State. There are two sites in Elk Grove Village, one of which we have known about and is a domestic disposal site just northwest of Cosman and Beisner Roads. The second one, is not a garbage dump but a construction disposal site. Those two sites will be examined by our people to determine whatever steps and communication will be necessary to fulfill our obligations and responsibilities in regard to those matters will be taken. 7. The Village has received the preliminary plans for the Northwest Tollway, Arlington Heights Road full interchange facility. That project is on schedule. A public hearing will be conducted by the Illinois Department of Transportation this Spring. 8. The Village has been advised by the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency to publish a notice concerning the possibility of lead in the public water supply, both in the domestic supplies and in the - 3 - 3-8-88 industrial supplies. The notice has to be published three times in a newspaper of local circulation and/or delivered personally to every utility customer in the Village. The EPA standard of 50 parts per billion. The water that we receive from the City of Chicago is below 3 parts per billion gallons. Elk Grove Village is well within the safe limits of the standards established for that purpose. The law requires that our residence and business community be alerted to the danger, although the problem does not exist in Elk Grove Village. 9. A date is set (March 28, 1988) for taking sealed bids for the purchase of properties, that we have acquired, along the side of Biesterfield Road extension. Information will be furnished to those who have made contact with us, as well as being published in the local newspaper. 10. A letter will be sent to about 3,000 residents in Elk Grove Village, pleading with them to make an appointment with the Health Department to donate blood at the April 30, 1988 Blood Bank program. President Zettek stated that there are approximately 21 communities committed to the Solid Waste Program as a Landfill Program to dispose of garbage emanating from our residential community, representing close to 8 hundred thousand people. President Zettek encourages Elk Grove residents to get involved with the Part 150 Study. The Study is a very dynamic document. It is Federally mandated by the government in order that O'Hare Airport may continue their expansion. Basically, it deals with the ability of O'Hare to expand and do it in such a way that it is compatible with the neighborhood. It is very vital that Elk Grove has some input into the results that come from that study. We can control the results, if we can get some input into the way the study is conducted. At this time, 8:33 p.m. , the President asked if there was anyone in the audience who wished to address the Board. In the audience was a group of Boy Scouts fulfilling a citizenship requirement in order to receive their Civic and Government merit badges. The Boy Scout Leader requested that Oakton Street be restricted to no parking at certain times during the day. President Zettek stated that this matter will be explored by the Police Department. Mr. Bernard Sarley of 1950 Baltimore Ave, and Mr. Alfred Tierney of 1951 Baltimore Avenue, questioned the Board as to the approval of the contract to Homer L. Chastain & Associates in the amount of $92,614 for engineering services for the Biesterfield Road extension; feeling that this item should not have been approved until after the court date of March 10, 1988. Also, the demolition of homes, and why there is not more responsibility taken to hold off on further Chastain services. Discussion followed, whereupon President Zettek stated that the Homer L. Castain & Associates ' contract had to be approved at this meeting because the Board does not meet for another two weeks. Mr. Robert Green, a Realtor and resident of the Village, stated his objection to the Real Estate Transfer Tax. Discussion followed, whereupon President Zettek stated that the Board had looked into other revenue sources and felt that the adoption of the Real Estate Transfer Tax would be in the best interest of the Village. - 4 - 3-8-88 It was moved by Trustee Tosto and seconded by Trustee Chernick that the meeting be adjourned. The motion was voted upon by acclamation; whereupon the motion was carried and the meeting adjourned at 9:46 p.m. Ilafern R. Snick Deputy Village Clerk Charles J. Zettek Village rest ent - 5 - 3-8-88
