change Channel 6 a year from now, we should go into litigation now.

exemptions for coming years from real estate taxes.

differences between the residents and Mr. Gullo regarding his request for
an amendment to the annexation of the property located on Stanley
Street. Mr. Gullo is now prepared to come forth in difference to the
residents and submit the amendment to the annexation; however, this has
not been done.
The Village Attorney stated that the final condition is being considered
that will be acceptable to both sides is what does "light manufacturing"
actually mean. The Gullo Corporation will try to appeal for a Special
Use in the Office Transitional District to allow for light assembly, no
manufacturing. When that definition is straightened out and a few more
aesthetic things agreed upon they will come up with Text Amendment
language and will then petition for the hearing.

6. A month ago, the Police Chief drafted a letter
asking for assistance from the industrial community
to assist the Village in crime prevention work. As
recently as today, an industrialist called the

- 6 - 5-26-87
people from finding and walking off with a late
model Cadillac.
At least one of those in the group is wanted on
another arrest warrant and has been duly notified.

importance of their help in deterring crime in
their area.

The Village Manager requested the Board to consider payment of dues to the
Greater Woodfield Tourism Bureau. The dues this year will be 8% of the
fees collected under the Hotel/Motel Tax, which for Elk Grove
Village would be $31,704.
It was moved by Trustee Hauser and seconded by Trustee Petri to table this
item and take it under consideration and advisement. The Board should
make a decision not only for this year but upcoming years as to just how
much money is going to be passed on to the Greater Woodfield Tourism
Bureau. The motion was voted upon by acclamation; whereupon the President
declared the motion carried.
The Village Manager requested the Board to consider authorization to waive
bidding requirements and authorize $6,250.00 for an IBM Workstation
Controller and Expansion Unit from a company in Downers Grove. Normally,
Board authorization to waive the bidding requirements would be sought
because we are seeking compatible equipment that matches present
hardware. The Village is unable to secure the pieces of equipment from
IBM on anything sooner than a six month delivery date, which will be four
months too late for transfer into the new building. Several venders have
been contacted and one has been found that has this equipment on hand.
The cost of $6,250.00 is- $350.00 below the cost that IBM would charge for
this equipment even with a six month delivery service.
It was moved by Trustee Petri and seconded by Trustee Tosto that the Board
authorize the waiver of bidding and authorize the expenditure of $6,250.00
for the purchase of an IBM Workstation Controller and Expansion Unit.
The motion was voted upon by general consent to previous vote: AYE:

the President declared the motion carried and the meeting adjourned at
10:58 p.m.
