On Friday and Saturday of last week the Village Manager and nine other people representing the communities in the Northwest Municipal Conference met for the purpose of a long range planning workshop. The results of that workshop will be distributed to all members of the conference and all members of the various boards of the cities who belong to the conference. There are a couple of major thrust areas that the Planning Committee identified, one had to do with regional relationships and the role that the conference might take in improving upon those relationships as far south as Springfield but nonetheless with some emphasis on the Chicago area. Another area of concern to the group was the active participation of the elected officials in the communities served by the conference. All of the items discussed require substantial consideration by the conference members and hopefully returning back to the individual cities for similar kinds of consideration and direction back to the conference. 5. This afternoon there was a meeting of the Solid Waste Disposal Committee to discuss a number of issues. It occurred to the Manager Group, assembled today, that there is a need to form a working committee that might spend some effort in assisting the Conference Staff in such areas as public information, development of legislation, the organization of the agency itself, the financing techniques of land acquisition, and the annexation of that land to a neighboring community. It is expected that the Conference Director will take that recommendation back to the Executive Committee and the entire conference for further direction and authorization to proceed. This project like the water project is now reaching a point in magnitude that requires a substantial amount of man power to work on all of the facts that need to be worked on and consummated within a 6 to 8-month time frame. The suggestion is that a working committee be established consisting of 8 to 12 people where these kinds of assignments may be allocated to members of that committee to pursue in concert with the conference staff, engineers , attorneys and financing advisors. That project is well and moving along reasonably well . 6. The Manager met last week with the Private Industry Council , the PIC Group, they convened the meeting to advise public officials within the territory served by the agency that they had just received a grant from DECCA for the establishment of a Small Business Development Service program. They are going out beyond the training and retraining commitment that they have as a private industry council into the arena of economic development. They will be working with Harper College which is also a small business development center designated and funded by DECCA but they hope that they can coordinate and consolidate all of the efforts so the communities in the territory might be better served through this effort. The Village Manager referred to a memorandum from the Director of Finance recommending that the Village Board consider the adoption of the Budget Officer Act of the State of Illinois. If this meets with the Boards approval this item will be placed on the Agenda for the first Board meeting in April . - 7 - 3-25-86 It was moved by Trustee Bosslet and seconded by Trustee Tosto that the meeting be adjourned. The motion was voted upon by acclamation; whereupon the President declared the motion carried and the meeting adjourned at 9:59 p.m. Patricia S. Smith Village Clerk Charles J .
