Trustee Tosto, Chairman of the Capital Improvements Committee, reported that the Village Engineer gave a presentation on the Nicholas Boulevard drainage. The project, as presented, was approved by the Committee-of-the- Whole and the Engineer was directed to proceed with the work on the drainage problem. At the Capital Improvements Committee meeting on January 22, 1987, the Public Works Department was given the new criteria for replacing sidewalks in the Industrial Park: only hazardous and seriously damaged sidewalk will be considered. A survey of those sidewalks will be taken and a report will be given to the Committee when completed. The cost for the replacement of the sidewalks will be established at that time, hopefully in time for budget review. A video tape of the ditch cleaning operation was presented at the meeting which showed the water levels before and after cleaning. The tape also showed how hard it is to get access to some of those ditches. The 1987 Street Maintenance Program was also discussed. Nerge Road and Charlela Lane were deleted from the program, since those streets are covered by a Maintenance Bond. The curb and gutter replacement was considered by the Committee and Staff was instructed to be selective and only replace curb that is seriously damaged. Trustee Tosto said that the Committee agreed to recommend the use of Motor Fuel Tax (MFT) funds and Capital Projects funds to finance the program.The 1987 Street Maintenance Program, the expenditure of MFT funds and Capital Projects Funds, and authorization to advertise for bids on the necessary contract for this project, as outlined in the January 22, 1987 memo from the Director of Public Works, will be on the Agenda for the next Board meeting.

Village Attorney, Norman Samelson said there should be a report presented at the next meeting regarding the Gullo Annexation Amendment. The Village Manager reported on the following: 1. There will be a meeting regarding the design scheme to be considered for the interchange at I-290 and Biesterfield Road at 6:00 p.m. Representatives from IDOT will be present to answer questions about the proposed project. 2. The Village has received a communication from the Illinois Department of Transportation regarding the work that is being done by the State and other parties relative to the Upper Salt Creek Watershed area and to Salt Creek as it passes through the Village southward into Du Page County. The letter advises that efforts have been made over the last few months and attempts have been made to provide a schedule for completion of other key elements of the work. The letter is in line with the efforts that President Zettek has been making with the Department of Transportation to bring this matter to a conclusion. The information from this report will be communicated to interested parties in the community. The hydraulic study has not been completed, but there are expectations that the results of that study will provide significant information for further adjustments that may be considered for the Watershed area. 3. There will be an Open House on Thursday, February 5, 1987 from 5:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. at American Cablesystems.

The Village Manager has been invited to participate in the day long conference on the subject of the state of the region dealing with the policy issue and options from the metropolitan area of Chicago. This project has been underway for about a year and a half under the broad label of Regional Partnership. A number of interested parties have contributed ideas, concepts and recommendations for the purpose of discussion. The Village Manager said that the owner of the property located at the northeast corner of Devon Avenue and Tonne Road are not ready to take out a building permit, as yet, but are anxious to take down the existing structure. Under the provisions of the Municipal Code, a demolition fee needs to be established by the President and Board of Trustees. It is recommended that the Board authorize the demolition permit to be issued and charge a fee of $75.00. It was moved by Trustee Petri and seconded by Trustee Tosto that the Board authorize the Building Department to issue a demolition permit at a cost of $75.00 to remove an existing structure located on property at the northeast corner of Devon Avenue and Tonne Road. The motion was voted upon by general consent to the previous vote: AYE: Trustees Petri , Tosto, Chernick, Gallitano, Hauser; NAY: none; ABSENT: Bosslet; motion carried. The Village Manager stated that the Municipal Code has contained a provision that ties the Village's sanitary sewer facilities to the Metropolitan Sanitary District (MSD) procedures and requirements relative to anything that goes into the sewers, the way they are constructed, and the procedures for which permits will be issued by the MSD for properties in the community. In reviewing this code recently, it was discovered that the references in the code were outdated and we have a proposal tonight that would update that particular section of the code to the most current issues of the MSD procedures and standards. This is predicated on the September 1970 materials as revised in March 1986 to keep the code current and consistent. It is recommended that the Board consider adopting the ordinance amending the code as proposed. It was moved by Trustee Chernick and seconded by Trustee Petri that the Board waive the first reading rule of an ordinance as it pertains to amending the Municipal Code regarding improvements of the sanitary sewers. The motion was voted upon by acclamation; whereupon the President declared the motion carried. It was moved by Trustee Chernick and seconded by Trustee Petri that the Baord adopt Ordinance No. 1869 entitled, "AN ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTION 8.005, REQUIRED IMPROVEMENTS, OF CHAPTER 8 OF THE MUNICIPAL CODE OF THE V-1—L[QGE OF ELK GROVE VILLAGE (SANITARY SEWERS)".

The President directed the Clerk to call the roll on the motion and upon the roll being called the following answered AYE: Trustees Tosto, Chernick, Gallitano, Hauser, Petri ; NAY: none; ABSENT: Bosslet; whereupon the President declared the motion carried. At this time, 8:50 p.m. , the President asked if anyone in the audience wished to address the Board. A gentleman in the audience, representing Metropolitan Storage Company, questioned the Board about an unfinished business item which was referred to the Village Attorney to prepare an ordinance granting a variation for his company. Attorney Samelson said the ordinance would be presented at the next meeting of the Village Board. - 5 - 1-27-87 The representative requested the Board to authorize the Building Department to issue permits prior to the adopting of the ordinance so they may begin construction. As no objections were offered, the President indicated to the Building Commissioner that the building permits could be issued to Metropolitan Self-Storage, Ltd. prior to the passage of the ordinance granting the requeste variation.
