Zettek called the meeting to order at 8:08 p.m. in the Municipal Building, 901 Wellington Avenue, Elk Grove Village, and noted for the record that the following were present: Trustees Joseph T. Bosslet, Ronald L. Chernick, Dennis J. Gallitano, Edward R. Hauser, James P. Petri , Michael A. Tosto. Assistant Village Manager, Gary E. Parrin; Village Attorney, George B. Knickerbocker; and Village Clerk, Patricia S. Smith were present at this meeting. Thomas G. Smith, Deacon of St. Nicholas Episcopal Church, delivered the invocation. It was moved by Trustee Petri and seconded by Trustee Tosto that the minutes of July 12, 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 reported on the following meetings he attended: 1. The Solid Waste Committee met on July 18, 1988 and everything seems to be moving in good fashion. There will be a tour conducted this Thursday, July 28, 1988 of the land fill site. If there are enough people interested, there will also be a tour conducted on Saturday, July 30, 1988. 2. The O'Hare Advisory Committee met on July 14, 1988 and there was much discussion regarding the suggestion of the City of Chicago that in conjunction with the "150 Study", that they are going to publish the exposure map that identifies the magnitude of sound over the prevailing area. The Commission has prevailed upon the City of Chicago not to do that until a noise abatement recommendation can be provided to be submitted at the same time to the Federal Government. This would then effect a smaller area and would save many taxpayers from being drastically impacted as to the value of their homes when they go to sell them. The City of Chicago has agreed to wait for publication of the "map" until the end of August and now that the Committee has had some discussion with the FAA in Washington it was discovered that the very latest that the noise abatement recommendation can be submitted is the end of September. Therefore, the Committee has asked the City of Chicago to reconsider and not submit the map until the end of September. The Committee will be committed to meeting as often as necessary so that by the end of September or earlier those kinds of remedies to relieve the noise and air pollution will be ready for submittal to the Federal Government. 3. The Greater Woodfield Association met on July 19, 1988. 4. The President also attended several PACE meetings. President Zettek announced that he had a prepared statement to make regarding the Devon Corridor Zoning: "The President and Board of Trustees of Elk Grove Village have made a decision not to resubmit, for review and recommendation to the Plan Commission of Elk Grove, a text amendment seeking a zoning classification amendment to - 1 - 7-26-88 the Village's official Map and to the area commonly identified as the Devon Corridor. It is important to note, that unless the property owners now located along the North side of Devon and in unincorporated Cook County petition the Village for annexation, the County of Cook will regulate the development of the aforementioned properties. In conclusion, the matter of zoning and development now resides with the Devon property owners and the Cook County authority." It was moved by Trustee Petri and seconded by Trustee Tosto that the Board authorize the disbursement of $338,006.07 in payment of invoices as shown on the July 26, 1988 Accounts Payable Warrant.
