The President reported that the problems with the City of Chicago and the air lines, as exposed by the O'Hare Advisory Committee, indicated that they will not lend their support financially to soundproof two identified schools. The logic that they are using is that there are now federal funds available that should be sought for this project. The Committee feels the problem with that idea is that the construction season will pass this year and then those funds will not be available. The Committee, therefore, is trying to get a commitment from the City of Chicago and the Airport Authority in the way of money. President Zettek informed the Board that they would be receiving a quarterly report from the Economic Development consultants shortly. They have been negotiating with several firms who have given every indication that they will be moving into Elk Grove Village and develop property. One firm will hire over 100 employees which will be good for the Industrial Park and good for the property taxes that emanate out of the Industrial Park. The Economic Development consultants represented the Village at the Greater O'Hare Exposition in Arlington Heights. The President reported that the Suburban O'Hare Commission will be meeting on April 18, 1988 at 8:00 a.m. in Bensenville.

The Village Manager reported on the following: 1. The Northwest Municipal Conference (NWMC) will meet tomorrow, Wednesday, April 13, 1988 at 7:30 p.m. at the Mount Prospect Public Library. One of the topics for that meeting will be the recognizing of the various communities who have taken action to form a Solid Waste Joint Action Agency to provide a place to dispose of solid waste over the next 12 to 15 years. 2. The NWMC is looking for a commitment from the elected officials in the Conference area to spend a few days in Springfield to assist in the general lobbying efforts of the NWMC and the cities it represents. Participation will be required to cover testimony periods before various committees of the General Assembly on April 26, 27; May 1, 2, 3, 4; June 7, 8, and 10 and the general lobbying prior to the third reading on legislation which is pending before the General Assembly on June 21 and 22, 1988. 3. The Northwest Tollway and Arlington Heights Road Interchange project is on schedule. A public hearing on that project is expected to occur in late April or sometime in May, (1988) . The hearing may be held in the Elk Grove Village Municipal Building. 4. The High Level Excess Liability Pool project is up and running and has been fully implemented by the members. The Finance Director, George Coney was the most instrumental person in getting that insurance pool created, which will have savings for the Village of considerable magnitude over the years to come. 5. The Clearbrook Center for the handicapped has requested that the Village consider their financial plight as it appears that the State of Illinois has under-funded the public aid portion that reaches the Clearbrook Center through a considerable budget reduction. The Center is requesting that municipalities through their service areas consider making a donation to the Center to fill the gap caused by the lack of State aid. This item will be placed on the next Agenda for consideration by the Board. - 4 - 4-12-88 6. The Rotary Club of Elk Grove Village has asked the Village to consider contributing funds in the amount of $5,000.00 to a mid-September festival to be sponsored by that group. The purpose of the festival is to raise money for social and civic purposes in the community. This item will also be placed on the Agenda for consideration by the Board at the next regular meeting. 7. There was an accident in the Windemere Subdivision this past week. Two motorists, who were cutting through that subdivision, entered the intersection simultaneously and three persons were injured and two vehicles were severely damaged. That intersection is eligible for and will receive stop signs as soon as they are fabricated. (The Manager was informed that the signs were installed today, April 12, 1988. ) The Village Engineer has submitted a report on the traffic circumstances in the Windemere Subdivision in response to a request from residents in that area that the southbound traffic on Plum Grove Road in the morning be prohibited from entering the subdivision for the purposes of avoiding the construction activity on Nerge Road. The Cook County Highway Department stated that they would not consider such restriction unless a survey was conducted. The survey is now completed and the Village feels that the results clearly indicate that the left turn restriction movement southbound on Plum Grove Road in the morning is warranted. It is recommended that of the various alternatives suggested by the Village Engineer, the most viable plan (0) , envisions the control turn movements on Plum Grove Road in the morning allowing the residents in the subdivision to leave the community in the morning and return in the evening. The removal of Vine Lane between Baltimore and Cutter Lanes is also called for at such time as the Biesterfield Road extension is completed, with a cul-de-sac to be constructed on the north side of the roadway. Vine Lane to the south will be open and connected to the extension of Biesterfield Road. In the meantime and while that roadway is under construction, it is recommended that connection be broken to clearly discourage through traffic across that segment both for discouragement of cut-through traffic as well as removing the risks and hazards that might otherwise be associated with traffic crossing that point while the new roadway is being constructed to Plum Grove Road. If the Board concurs with the Village Engineer's recommendation, then authorization for Staff to proceed to communicate with the Cook County Highway Department is necessary in order to secure the turn restrictions on Plum Grove Road. Discussion followed relative to the traffic on Nerge Road and through the residential areas. It was moved by Trustee Chernick and seconded by Trustee Gallitano that the Board authorize Staff to further confer with the Cook County Highway Department to provide the turn restriction sign on Plum Grove Road as - 5 - 4-12-88 well as to prepare such ordinance or resolution as the County may require. The President directed the Clerk to call the roll on the motion and upon the roll being called the following answered AYE: Trustees Tosto, Bosslet, Chernick, Gallitano, Hauser, Petri ; NAY: none; ABSENT: none; whereupon the President declared the motion carried. (Discussion between the Board and the Village Engineer resulted in the Boards concurrence that Vine Lane between Baltimore and Cutter be removed as soon as possible. ) The Village Manager also discussed another accident which occurred on Nerge Road just west of Rohlwing Road. The concrete barriers were struck and also three fences and backyards were destroyed. The Cook County Highway Department, the Elk Grove Village Police Department, and the County Sheriff were again looking at that location to see if there may be a better solution than the current barriers and sand barrels. The Village Manager requested that the Board authorize a communication to the Cook County Clerk to abate the portion of the 1987 Tax Levy for debt service on $5,000,000 General Obligation Bonds Series 1987 which were issued to fund the Insurance Pool Program (H.E.L.P. ) . The abatement would represent $508,000,337.50. This guarantees that payment on those bonds will be made by parties other than the Village of Elk Grove Village. It was moved by Trustee Petri and seconded by Trustee Chernick that the Board authorize a communication to the Cook County Clerk as stated above by the Village Manager. The motion was voted upon by general consent to the previous vote: Trustees Tosto, Bosslet, Chernick, Gallitano, Hauser, Petri ; NAY: none; ABSENT: none; whereupon the President declared the motion carried. At this time, 9:40 p.m. , there was a request from Mr. Walter Haas, a resident of Itasca Meadows Subdivision, to address the Board. Mr. Haas requested the amount the Village paid for the purchase of a portion of property owned by Mr. & Mrs. James Pecorelli . (President Zettek responded that the purchase price for a portion of that property was $23,000.00. ) Mr. Haas presented a number of questions to the Board concerning the Hamilton Lakes Development to which the President asked that Mr. Haas submit those items in writing to the Village and a written response will be sent to him. It was moved by Trustee Bosslet and seconded by Trustee Hauser that the meeting be adjourned. The motion was voted upon by acclamation; whereupon the President declared the motion carried and the meeting adjourned at 9:51 P.M. Patricia S. Smith Village C er Charles J .
