Some programming has been taped and there will be some "live" things that will be done. Each community is being allogated 1/2 hour and if there is audience or studio participation the time allotment would be increased. President Zettek informed the Board that the O'Hare Advisory Committee will be meeting on Thursday, February 13, 1986 at the O'Hare Hilton. It is hoped that Mayor Washington of Chicago will attend that meeting. Trustee Gallitano referred to recent articles in the local newspapers regarding food distribution in the area of Arlington Heights and Elk Grove and the fact that the Park District has decided not to support a SEDA program. Community Service is looking very hard at possible participation in the SEDA program of food distribution and trying to get service organizations within the Village to become involved in this Program. If a commitment is received from the organizations, Community Service will make a recommendation for the Village to participate with the SEDA program. The President informed Trustee Gallitano that the Village Awards Banquet will be held on April 4, 1986. Last year the Community Service Board recommended 3 citizens for an outstanding award for community participation. That Board may wish to recommend someone this year and he wanted them to be aware of the date. Trustee Bosslet stated that he had attended a meeting of the Housing Commission on December 16, 1985 to discuss the Huntington Square Development that is being reviewed by the Plan Commission. There is a great deal of concern, by the members, regarding this Senior congregate housing proposal . Trustee Bosslet said the Board of Health also has some concerns regarding this development and representatives of both Boards will attend the Plan Commission hearing on Wednesday, January 22, 1986 that was called specifically to discuss congregate housing. President Zettek said that it is not the responsibility of the Plan Commission to decide if the Village does or does not want congregate housing but to assure that the zoning is compatible and that the type of building that goes up will house the appropriate amount of residents. Trustee Petri said the Plan Commission Special Meeting will be a forum to discuss the issue. Discussion followed regarding the roles of the Plan Commission, Housing Commission, and Board of Health. It was the consensus of the Board that if the Plan Commission felt it would be of value to hire a consultant with expertise in the field of congregate senior housing, the Village would pay for the service. The Administrative Assistant was requested to convey this conversation to the Plan Commission. The President said the Suburban O'Hare Commission will be meeting shortly by sponsoring a meeting of Legislators to urge legislation be proposed in Springfield that would favor a body of Legislators to advise the State of Illinois of the wisdom and feasibility and need for a third airport. Trustee Hauser said the Operations Committee of the Arterial Study Group met on January 6, 1986 at the Northwest Municipal Conference offices and discussed many items, one being communication of traffic accidents, - 5 - 1-14-86 traffic backups, etc. , to the motoring public in the Northwest area. Notification to the public of construction areas was also discussed. Various other items were also discussed such as right-of-way protection, signal coordination, curb cuts , no left turns except where lanes are provided, barrier medians versus mountable medians, quick take deed versus condemnation , and we are trying to incorporate some language to offer the contractors some incentive to finish projects on time or ahead of schedule. William Grams, Executive Director of the Northwest Municipal Conference, is collating these statements. The Conference received a $10,000 contribution from the Signature Group (which is an insurance subsidiary of Montgomery Ward) . This money will be used to pay consultant fees. Other contributions are being sought in order to complete this study. The Village Clerk presented a request from the Elk Grove Village Park District to waive the Alarm User License fees for their facilities. It was moved by Trustee Petri and seconded by Trustee Bosslet that the Board waive the Alarm User License fee for the Elk Grove Park District facilities. The President directed the Clerk to call the roll on the motion and upon the roll being called the following answered AYE: Trustees Tosto, Bosslet, Chernick, Gallitano, Petri ; PASS: Hauser; NAY: none; ABSENT: none; whereupon the President declared the motion carried. At this time, 9:00 p.m. , the President asked if anyone in the audience wished to address the Board. There being none, the meeting continued. President Zettek said there have been some suggestions that since, in recent years, all the Board members seem to attend the budget hearings that the Budget Committee should be a Board-of-the-Whole. As there were no objections the President appointed the Board-of-the-Whole as the Budget Committee. The Village Manager said his recommendations on the various departmental budget will be forthcoming on or around February 7, 1986. The period of February 10 through 28, 1986 will be the time schedule for review of those requests. The budget schedule anticipates the Board should be in a position to adopt the budget by April 8, 1986. The Village Manager reported that: 1. On January 23, 1986 at 7:30 p.m. there will be a public hearing concerning the Nerge Road widening project conducted by the Illinois Department of Transportation at Nerge School on Woodfield Trail in Roselle. 2. The Soo Line Railroad track is under consideration by NORTRAN and others to develop a passenger line facility. There will be a meeting on that subject at the Buffalo Grove Village Hall on January 16, 1986. Early indications are that the facility would not extend much south of Des Plaines and therefore, it would not serve the east side of Elk Grove Village. 3. There is a letter from Lynette Swanson on behalf of the United Way conducting a survey of Village residents. Approval of mailing the letter is requested. 4. A fair amount of information has been assembled on "line of sight intersections" and an opinion from the Attorney will be put into a packet for presentation to the Board. The Village Manager said the Village will be looking at bids for the construction of the new building addition about a month from now. As part of that project, however, there is an enormous amount of work to be done - 6 - 1-14-86 on the inside of the building in terms of compatible design and color scheme, floor and wall treatment, furniture, lighting effects, etc. It is recommended that the Board consider engaging an interior design service company to serve as consultant and advisor on those several matters. Proposals have been taken from several companies and it is recommended that the Village retain the firm of ISD Inc. , of Chicago, at a cost not to exceed $25,000.00. It was moved by Trustee Petri and seconded by Trustee Bosslet that the Board authorize the expenditure not to exceed $25,000.00 for retaining the services of ISD, Inc. , of Chicago, as interior design consultant for the Municipal Building addition. The President directed the Clerk to call the roll on the motion and upon the roll being called the following answered AYE: Trustees Bosslet, Chernick, Gallitano, Hauser, Petri , Tosto; NAY: none; ABSENT: none; whereupon the President declared the motion carried. The President requested a meeting after the Board meeting this evening. Trustee Petri said that the consensus of opinion of the Board is to meet at 7:00 p.m. prior to all Village Board meetings and dispense with the Committee-of-the-Whole meetings on the alternate Tuesdays. It was moved by Trustee Tosto and seconded by Trustee Bosslet that the meeting be adjourned. The motion was voted upon by acclamation; whereupon the President declared the motion carried and the meeting adjourned at 9: 14 p.m. Patricia S. Smith Village Clerk Charles J. Zettek Village President - 7 - 1-14-86
