The President reported on the following:
1. There was a meeting of the Suburban O'Hare Commission
on April 18, 1988 at which the goals and objectives of
the Commission were stated for the coming year and a
dues schedule was approved.
- 1 - 4-26-88
2. The President represented the Village on April 19,
1988 at the Annual Woodfield Visitors Bureau. He
reported that there appears to be a temporary halt to
seeking out further aid from the communities, as far
as participating in a convention center. Since the
decision has been made by the appropriate committee
that until there is a commitment from the State, they
do not feel it appropriate to go to member committees
of the Greater Woodfield organization.
3. The President attended a meeting of the Solid Waste
Agency on April 25, 1988 at which all of the
participating municipalities signed the appropriate
papers to form the agency which will provide for a
landfill and recycling program. This program will
allow for the removal of garbage from the 28
participating communities and deliver it to a landfill
site which should last for 10 to 15 years.
The cost to remove that garbage would have been cost
prohibitive if it were not for the fact that the
municipalities have now found an appropriate site and
will develop it themselves.
The Agency will go for interim financing of 5.5
million dollars in the next immediate weeks and then
go out for full financing for somewhere in the
neighborhood of $40,000,000.00 some months down the
road.
5. The President attended the raising of the flag of
Liberty and Learning at Elk Grove High School earlier
today.
6. The President informed Trustee Bosslet that he had
been appointed as Alternate to the Solid Waste Agency.
It was moved by Trustee Petri and seconded by Trustee Bosslet that the
Board authorize the disbursement of $352,642.15 in payment of invoices as
shown of the April 26, 1988 Accounts Payable Warrant. The President
directed the Clerk to call the roll on the motion and upon the roll being
called the following answered AYE: Trustees Chernick, Gallitano, Hauser,

declared the motion carried.

The Village Manager presented a recommendation from the Plan Commission
resulting from a petition from Alexian Brothers Medical Center for a
Helistop facility at the hospital .
- 4 - 4-26-88
The recommendation requires a Text Amendment to allow helistops as a
Special Use in residential districts along with previously approved uses
and that a definition of helistop be incorporated into the Text Amendment
to the ordinance, which clearly defines that it is something to be used
only in the case of emergencies and on an infrequent basis and not as a
continuous facility. The Plan Commission also recommended the issuance of
a Special Use Permit for a helistop to the Alexian Brothers Medical Center
pursuant to the Text Amendment and subject to certain conditions.
It was moved by Trustee Petri and seconded by Trustee Chernick that the
Board direct the Village Attorney to prepare the necessary documents
consistent with the recommendation of the Plan Commission for a Text
Amendment and a Special Use permit for Alexian Brothers Medical Center
for a helistop facility. The motion was voted upon by acclamation;
whereupon the President declared the motion carried.

April 21, 1988 which was hosted by the Motorola Company. This allowed for

pleasantries and realize just how many people are engaged in that project.

Village Attorney regarding the Gullo property, including a Text Amendment,
a Special Use permit, and an amendment to the Annexation Agreement.

Office/Transitional , District. The motion was voted upon by acclamation;
whereupon the President declared the motion carried.

ASSEMBLY AS A SPECIAL USE IN THE 0 & T OFFICE/TRANSITIONAL DISTRICT".

adjacent property.

used to safeguard the impact of the proposed Special Use to adjacent
residential districts.
It was moved by Trustee Chernick and seconded by Trustee Hauser that the
previous motion be tabled. The President directed the Clerk to call the
roll on the motion and upon the roll being called the following answered

At this time, 8:58 p.m. , the President asked if anyone in the audience
wished to address the Board. There being no response, the meeting
continued.
The Village Manager reported on the following:
1. There will be a meeting tomorrow, April 27, 1988 at
11:00 a.m. , in the Municipal Building, of the Federal
Emergency Management Agency.
The Agency will discuss and answer questions with
regard to new and current flood insurance regulations
with members of the public as well as bankers,
insurance representatives and realtors.
The Agency will then meet with members of the Village
Staff later in the day to review the Village Flood
- 5 - 4-26-88
Plain Management Programs, regulations and procedures
of enforcement which are applied throughout the
Village.
2. The Village Manager met with Mark West, the
Administrative Librarian, last week to discuss the
procedures in transferring the land to the Library
that lies south of the Municipal Building and how they
might in turn transfer the existing Library to the
Village. There are certain statutory requirements
that the Library must observe in addition to securing
our administrative approval for building and
engineering permits and the various other code
requirements, that are applied to all developments in
the Village.
The Library will also have to provide to the Village
Board a statement of intent and a statement of plan to
be carried out in connection with their building
project.
At a later date the Library must submit a copy of
their final plans and specifications for formal
approval by the Village Board. This is something
which does not normally occur with the issuance of
building permits. In this process there will be
provided all of the conditions that have been
articulated to the Library Board as to architectural
compatibility, proximity of parking lots, screening of
surrounding residential properties as well as
compliance with Village ordinances.
At this point in time, it does not appear necessary to
write up a free standing agreement covering those
points and conditions. Part of the transfer process
would include the exchange of deeds with the right of
first refusal to the other party.
3. The renovation of the lower level security garage with
regard to the plumbing network has been completed and
functioning on a total gravity system.
4. Last week the Village received a check for
$1,000,000.00 for insured losses sustained in the
August flood. That check has been deposited and is
earning interest and will be used for payments from
the Village as the accounting steps are completed.
The Village is now in a position to file a final
report with the Federal and State governments for such
assistance as might be forthcoming as a result of the
disaster of August 14, 1987.
5. The Northwest Municipal Conference is again looking
for elected officials to participate in a program in
the months of May and June with the attendance of the
Illinois General Assembly in Springfield. There are
several dates available.
6. The Northwest Municipal Conference will conduct an
equipment auction on Saturday, May 7, 1988 at the
Arlington Heights Public Works facility.
7. Plans are underway to accelerate the work, on the
improvements, on Elmhurst Road between Devon Avenue
and the Northwest Tollway. The letting for work will
not occur until sometime in December 1988 because
there are to plans that must be prepared between now
and December. A public hearing is to be held sometime
in May 1988 and final approval to proceed will occur
sometime in July 1988.
- 6 - 4-26-88
Elk Grove Village is the lead agency in this project,
although most of the funding will be from the State
and Federal governments.
8. The Village will be notifying the residents in the
Windemere Subdivision, by letter, that Vine Lane will
be closed beginning Monday, May 2, 1988. Signs will
be posted at that crossing advising motorists that
route will be closed.
The Village will also be handing out to the motorists,
who enter in the morning off of Plum Grove Road,
information that advises them that beginning on May 2,
1988 they will not be able to enter at University
Lane, at Julie Drive, or Oriole Drive between the
hours of 6:30 a.m. and 9:00 a.m. Monday through Friday.
A "no left turn" sign will be posted tomorrow for
southbound Plum Grove Road traffic into Oriole Drive.
Between now and Monday the Village will continue to
allow residents and persons taking students to the
Mead School to enter those streets between those hours
in the morning. They will be advised with the
handouts that beginning on May 2, 1988 they will also
have to find another route.
The Village will be communicating with the principal
at Meade Jr. High School to convey that same message.
A similar letter will be sent to the Windemere
residents advising them of the status of the work and
the arrangements which will be taking place between
now and the second of May, 1988.
The County and the contractor are looking for the
completion of the pavement lanes on Nerge Road in late
late June or early July, 1988. There will be some
dress-up work on the shoulder median and landscaping
which will take place after that time.
The Village Manager stated that the Village received eight sealed bids on
the Village owned property located at 660 Michigan Lane. The highest and
accepted bid was in the amount of $145,000.00. The Village will receive
3% of that bid in earnest money and then the closing will be on July 1,
1988. If there should be an extension of the closing date there will be
additional costs incurred by the purchaser.
There is a resolution authorizing the Village President and Clerk to
execute a real estate sales contract for this property which is
recommended for approval by the Board.
It was moved by Trustee Chernick and seconded by Trustee Petri that the
Board adopt Resolution No. 31-88 entitled, "A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE
PRESIDENT AND VILLAGE CLERK TO EXECUTE A REAL ESTATE SALES CONTRACT
BETWEEN THE VILLAGE OF ELK GROVE VILLAGE AND WILLIAM AND TERRIANN
HIDAKA". The President directed the Clerk to call t e ro on the
