Chernick, Joseph T. Bosslet, Dennis J. Gallitano, Edward R. Hauser, James P. Petri , Michael A. Tosto. Village Manager, Charles A. Willis; Village Attorney, George B. Knickerbocker; and Village Clerk, Patricia S. Smith were present at this meeting. The Reverend Rodney L. Pickett, Pastor of the Elk Grove Wesleyan Church, delivered the invocation. It was moved by Trustee Petri and seconded by Trustee Tosto that the minutes of March 8, 1988 be approved as submitted and that the Board dispense with the reading thereof. The motion was voted upon by acclamation; whereupon the President declared the motion carried. President Zettek reminded the Board that it will be necessary to hold an Executive Session following tonight's regular meeting. President Zettek introduced Steve Billings, Student Council President from Elk Grove High School , who made a presentation to the Board in honor of, and in anticipation of, the Village's participation in the various activities which will be associated with the "Flag of Liberty and Learning" recognition as part of the Constitution Bicentennial . Mr. Billings explained the insignia on the flag and how it represents the link between education and a strong free nation. The flag was then presented to the Board to be flown during the weeks of April 24 through 29, 1988, commemorating Student Leadership Week; and May 1 through 7, 1988, commemorating Teacher Appreciation Week. The Police Chief, Fred Engelbrecht introduced two Police Officers who placed number one and two in the required testing for promotion to sergeant. President Zettek administered the Oath of Office to Sergeant Lawrence W. Hammar and Sergeant Jack R. Rome. The President reported on the following: 1. The O'Hare Advisory Committee met on March 10, 1988. The most noteworthy item to come out of that meeting is that there now appears to be some question about whether or not some $2,000,000 is going to be provided to soundproof two or three designated schools in the immediate periphery of the airport. The Committee thought those monies were dedicated and approved. Now that the Federal Government has introduced legislation that makes money available, it appears that the City of Chicago and the consortium of airlines are debating whether or not they ought to provide those monies. There has been all kinds of assurances that they will , but it appears now that we have lost the building season before school starts in September. Therefore, the schools will probably not be soundproofed this year. There are about twenty-seven schools that the Committee feels should be soundproofed. It seems there will be a long battle ahead before this is accomplished. 2. Last Thursday the President toured the Village with a potential buyer looking at vacant land which is open to zoning and development to encourage a grocery chain and/or some utilization of the old Eagle store on Devon Avenue (which has been empty for quite some - 1 - 3-22-88 time) ; also, the development of the northwest corner of Biesterfield and Meacham Road. 3. The President met with representatives of the Park District and explained to them the things that the Village has been doing over the years with regard to Salt Creek. 4. The President will attend a meeting on Wednesday, March 23, 1988, to select members to serve on the Solid Waste Management Agency. An offshoot of that will be a consortium of municipality to look at the recycling of waste matter that comes out of our homes. 5. The Assistant Village Manager, Gary Parrin will appear before the Cook County Board on Wednesday, March 23, 1988 as a representative of Elk Grove Village. Mr. Parrin will be talking about legislation that has been introduced by a member of the Cook County Board, with regard to putting constraints on the sign companies that the Village feels proliferate the roads and highways. 6. There will be an Executive Session of the Suburban O'Hare Commission on Monday, March 28, 1988. The President requested a motion to go into Executive Session following this meeting for the purpose of discussing the purchase of property and litigation. It was moved by Trustee Chernick and seconded by Trustee Tosto that the Board hold an Executive Session following tonight's regular meeting for the purpose of discussing the purchase of property and litigation. The motion was voted upon by acclamation; whereupon the President declared the motion carried. It was moved by Trustee Petri and seconded by Trustee Bosslet that the Board authorize the disbursement of $562,171.95 in payment of invoices as shown on the March 22, 1988 Accounts Payable Warrant.

The President reported that the Village had received a letter signed by 60 or 70 residents of the Windemere Subdivision, asking the Village to do something to discourage traffic coming through the subdivision because of the construction being done on Nerge Road. The Police Chief talked to the Cook County Highway Department. The County stated they would consider regulatory signs which would prohibit traffic moving south on Plum Grove Road from turning left onto Oriole Drive after the Village takes a traffic study. The President, with the concurrence of the Board, requested the Engineering Department to conduct the traffic study and requested that the Police Chief prepare a report on prohibiting traffic from turning onto Oriole Drive at least until the construction is completed on Nerge Road. President Zettek will respond to those residents in the Windemere Subdivision of the steps that are being taken to alleviate the traffic problem.
