Henrici , Fire Chief for the Village of Elk Grove Village since July 8, 1980, announced his retirement to be effective on Monday, November 14, 1988. Chief Henrici began his employment with the Village on September 1 , 1967. On December 1, 1970 he was promoted to the position of Engineer and on January 1, 1972 he was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant. After serving four years as Lieutenant, he was promoted to the position of Captain on April 5, 1976. Charles Henrici became Deputy Chief of the Fire Department on September 1, 1976. Through his efforts and dedication over a twenty-one year tenure with the Village, he provided the residents and businesses of our community with a level of service unequalled in the suburban area. Charles Henrici is truly deserving of the respect he earned in the fire service profession. Captain James D. MacArthur has been appointed to succeed Chief Henrici effective Monday, November 14, 1988. James MacArthur began his employment with the Village of Elk Grove Village in •January of 1973. He was promoted to Lieutenant in December of 1978 and to the rank of Captain in August of 1985. 1 - 10-25-88 Jim is 40 years old, married, and has 4 children. He is a 1970 graduate of Loyola University. Jim's fair, straightforward and competent approach to the administra- tion of the Fire Department and his high degree of profes- sionalism is indeed exemplary, and will be a credit to the Village as he becomes the seventh Chief of the Department. The President expressed his appreciation, on behalf of the Board, for the dedication and accomplishments of Chief Henrici and offered best wishes in his new position as Fire Chief in River Forest, Illinois; and President Zettek congratulated Captain James MacArthur on his appointment as the new Fire Chief of Elk Grove Village.

The President requested the consent of the Board to deviate from the Agenda and honor the request of Mr. Thomas S. Rivera, President of the Greater Woodfield Convention and Visitors Bureau, to address the Village Board regarding the action taken by the Village Board at their last meeting, to deny some $15,000.00 from being paid to the Organization. Presentations were given by Mr. Rivera; Jim Barbeau, Vice President of Hampton Inn, Elk Grove Village; Dan Smith, Manager of the Elk Grove Village Holiday Inn; and Bob Swenson, General Manager of Stouffer Hamilton Hotel , Itasca, outlining the benefits received from the Greater Woodfield Convention and Visitors Bureau and its need to be supported by the Village. Discussion followed as to the amount of dues paid by the Village of Elk Grove Village and the other member municipalities. It was the consensus of the Board that the Village of Elk Grove Village should only pay the same percentage in contributions as the surrounding municipalities. Mr. Rivera requested that the Board reconsider their decision to deduct the $15,904.00 from the current contribution to the Greater Woodfield Convention and Visitors Bureau. It was moved by Trustee Chernick and seconded by Trustee Tosto that the Board reconsider and authorize thepayment of $15,904.00 to the Greater Woodfield Convention an —Visitors ureau. a Presi ent direc-t-e-d—tWe— Clerk to call the roll on the motion and upon the roll being called the following answered AYE: Trustees Chernick, Gallitano, Tosto; NAY: Hauser, Petri , Bosslet; whereupon President Zettek voted "AYE" and declared the motion carried.

The President said that it appears to him that what he heard coming from the Board of Trustees is that the Greater Woodfield Board should be looking at the way they initiate the fees and dues. Perhaps there is a better way of doing it that would cause less consternation among other communities, including Elk Grove Village. The argument seems to be the equity of one community paying 8% of a 5% tax and another paying 8% of a 2% tax but making up the difference and another paying 8% of a 4% tax and another predicated on its population and sales tax generation. Trustee Petri remarked that it might be appropriate for the Board to discuss this item again next year prior to budget time. He does not feel that the contribution should be tied to an 8% of 4% tax, but that the Board should look at it and maybe it should be a 10% of 5% tax or whatever the figure is , but budget time would be the appropriate time to look at it. The President introduced a letter from Lynda Simon, Director of the Illinois Office of Tourism, and requested that the letter be entered as part of the minutes. At this time, 9:32 p.m. , the President asked if anyone in the audience wished to address the Board. Mr. Bernard Newmeyer of One Sylvan Court related that an accident on Arlington Heights Road caused a fire hydrant which was struck, to fly into his garage door. President Zettek and Police Chief Engelbrecht informed Mr. Newmeyer of the steps being taken to have the Cook County Highway Department install a guard rail along that portion of Arlington Heights Road adjacent to the Sylvan Court Development. The Village Engineer will look at that area and determine if anything can be done by the Village to deter accidents along that portion of the roadway and subsequent damage to private property. The meeting resumed at 9:50 p.m. with all Board members present. Trustee Petri requested that the Board remove item b, Consideration to hold the first reading of Ordinance No. 1992 replacing the 1984 BOCA National Building Code with the 1987 BOCA Code; and the 1983 CABO One and Two Family Dwelling Code with the 1986 CABO Code, from the Consent Agenda.
