called the following answered AYE: Trustees Gallitano, Hauser, Petri ,
Bosslet; NAY: none; ABSENT: Chernick, Tosto; whereupon the President voted
"AYE" and declared the motion carried.
President Zettek asked the Village Attorney to speak to item F, on the
Consent Agenda.
The Village Attorney said that he had reviewed the bids for the BG Paver
and the bases of the recommendation and suggests that the Board accept a
bid to the same company in the amount of 590,000. That is the low bid of
the initial bids. That company submitted an alternative proposal and the
Attorney further suggests that in accepting the bid for $90,000 that
motion also carry with it a proviso that the Village retain the right to
accept the alternative proposal of $101,345 the discretion of the
Village. Should the Village wish to market the used paver either through
a public bid process at a private sale or through a municipal entity where
a bid would not be necessary for whatever value the Village can get. The
Village would then be in a position of purchasing it at $101,345 and the
Village would benefit by whatever they sell the used paver for. The
initial award should be for what we bid at $90,000 again with the
retention of the right to accept the alternative.
- 3 - 4-8-86
Discussion followed regarding the intention of the vendor regarding the
alternative proposal and the various ways tc sell the used paver. York
Township Highway Department has presented a proposal of $25,000 for the
used paver and another company has come in with an offer of 530,000. It
has been the policy of the Village to go out to bid for selling of
property to other than another municipality.
The Attorney stated that the Board does have the right both in the
purchase and in the sale to waive the bidding requirements by a two-thirds
vote, if the Board should want to act on the proposals that are now before
them with respect to the used paver.
It was moved by Trustee Hauser and seconded by Trustee Bosslet that the
Board award a purchase contract to the Barber Greene Company, North
Aurora, Illinois, to furnish a BG-220 Paver at a total cost of 590,000 but
that the Village retain the right to accept the alternate proposal
submitted at the bid opening by Barber Greene Company of $101 ,345.00 with
no trade. The President directed the Clerk to call the roll on the motion

whereupon the President declared the motion carried.
It was moved by Trustee Hauser and seconded by Trustee Bosslet that the
Board authorize the Purchasing Agent to go to bid for the sale of the used
paver as expeditiously as possible. The President directed the Clerk to
call the roll on the motion and upon the roll being called the following
answered AYE: Trustees Petri , Bosslet, Gallitano, Hauser; NAY: none;
ABSENT: Chernick, Tosto; whereupon the President declared the motion
carried.
President Zettek requested the Board to act on the request for a variation
to permit the adding of additional space to an existing structure to the
property owned by Anthony Maioriello.
It was moved by Trustee Petri and seconded by Trustee Hauser that the
Board waive the first reading rule of an ordinance as it pertains to

The President directed the Clerk to call the roll on the motion and upon
the roll being called the following answered AYE: Trustees Hauser, Petri ,
Bosslet, Gallitano; NAY: none; ABSENT: Chernick, Tosto; whereupon the
President declared the motion carried.
Trustee Petri , Chairman of the Judiciary, Planning and Zoning Committee,
reported that the Committee met on April 2, 1986 and discussed virtually
all items on their Agenda and agreed on the following recommendation of
item K, Zoning Board of Appeals Docket 86-2 - 1210 Robin Drive, as it
pertains to a deck. All members of the Committee and other members of the
Board have looked at the property and discussed it with Mr. Hezinger and
the consensus was to disagree with the Zoning Board's recommendation and
grant the variation and direct the Attorney to prepare the ordinance.
Trustee Gallitano said he was not apart of that meeting and asked what the
basis was for the conclusion by the Judiciary, Planning and Zoning
Committee.
Trustee Petri said the basic reason for the Zoning Board of Appeals to
turn down the request was the neighbors potential if the current owner
moved out that there might be someone who might cause some noise, which we
did not feel was a real basis for an objection. The resident had all of
the necessary items from all of the utility companies that he did not
infringe on any of there rights-of-way, did not effect the drainage as his
yard slopes to the point that it is unusable without a deck. The
neighbors on either side had no objection and the deck was built in
conformance with the Building Code.
It was moved by Trustee Petri and seconded by Trustee Bosslet that the
Board grant a variation to the Zoning Ordinance to allow an existing deck
at 1210 Robin Drive, Elk Grove Village, and to direct the Village Attorney
to prepare the proper ordinance. The President directed the Clerk to call
the roll on the motion and upon the roll being called the following
answered AYE: Trustees Petri , Bosslet, Gallitano, Hauser; NAY: none;
ABSENT: Chernick, Tosto; whereupon the President declared the motion
carried.
Trustee Petri continued with the Judiciary, Planning and Zoning
Committee's recommendations on the remaining Agenda items:
Item e. POLITICAL SIGNS: After discussion and looking
at some other ordinances and discussing the
results with representatives from Rolling Meadows
the Committee's recommended course of action is
that prior to election time send a letter over the
Village Presidents signature to each major
political campaign office stating our local
ordinance similar to what we do with the local
elections, and that would be our start. Rolling
Meadows has had some success with doing similar
- 5 - 4-8-86
type items but they see no way to get complete
conformance, as it is impossible to police
everywhere.
Item f. DEVON AVENUE ZONING: The Committee recommends
B-2 Zoning from Berthold' s Nursery, west to Salt
Creek, and feel this is the highest and best use
of the property.
Trustee Gallitano asked what would happen if a homeowner
sells to someone else who wishes to also maintain a home
and was told they do not have to change to business.
Trustee Hauser said the important thing to him was that B-2
requires a 150 foot frontage and he feels this is very
critical .
It was the consensus of opinion for Staff to be directed to
have a public hearing before the Plan Commission to
petition for a Zoning Map change to reflect the zoning
change for this area.
Item h. ORDINANCE - SATELLITE RECEIVING DISH: The
Committee looked at a number of ordinances based
on the recommendation of the Building Commissioner
and feel that the current Village Ordinance has
enough controls in it until the Zoning Performance
Standards get updated.
Item j. TREE ROOTS IN THE SANITARY SEWER LINES: The
Committee recommends that some money be set aside
to assist the homeowner in a 65-35% split of the
costs incurred. The total amount for tree removal
and replacement has been estimated at $670.00.
This would break down to tree and stump removal
cost or 65% to be done by the homeowner and the
tree replacement and ground restoration or 35% be
done by the Village. This would be stipulated
that the work be done by a Village recommended
contractor.
Discussion followed as to Village liability, amount
of money to be set aside for this work, and
whether or not the Village should subcontract the
work. The consensus was to defer action until all
of the Trustees have had a chance to review this
item.
Item i. LINE OF SIGHT RESTRICTIONS: There will be a day
light meeting of the Committee, the Building
Commission and the Police Chief will go and take a
look at those areas.
Trustee Petri said the Committee has had at least two
discussions on the Commercial Maintenance Code and quite a
volume of input on it.
Trustee Gallitano said there is a serious problem at the Grove Shopping
Center, stating that part of the road has been ripped up and there has
been a mound of gravel there since the winter months in the outer drive
that surrounds Michaels. He further stated that the pot holes are about 6
to 8 inches deep and if you go over them you can do damage to your
vehicle. Trustee Gallitano wanted to know if the Commercial Maintenance
Code will address those problems and what type of pressure can be put upon
the owners to make that a non-hazardous parking lot.
Trustee Petri said it is a long hard process to get compliance as for
example the Burger King parking lot. We are trying to consider what steps
- 6 - 4-8-86
can be taken short of closing down the shopping centers, which we have few
enough of now.
Trustee Gallitano said he is in favor of sealing up the entrance to Burger
King in order for him (the owner) to make a better traffic pattern there.
The Assistant Village Manager said that Mr. Serfecz, Owner of the Grove
Shopping Center, has contacted him with regard to putting in catch basins
and running them towards the new storm sewer that the Village is putting
into the new parking lot, in order to drain those areas. Mr. Parrin said
he did not know if that would be feasible or not, but that Mr. Serfecz is
making some motions to correct the standing water problem.
Trustee Hauser said the Park & Shop parking lot is in very bad condition
also.
Trustee Gallitano suggested that the Village make a general survey of the
parking lots at the shopping centers and have Staff work with the owners
to try and get them to patch.
The Village Manager said this type of suggestion has been done in the past
with the shopping center owners and has been met with some slight success
but it takes a long time to materialize.
President Zettek said that before we do anything we should get an opinion
from the Attorney as to what ability we have to go into a shopping center
and exercise whatever we think is appropriate correction.
The Village Attorney said he would like to take a further look but there
has always been some problems with private property and in burdening them
with the type of expense except when it becomes a nuisance on property
where the public is invited. I think we then have a greater authority
especially under Home Rule and further especially where we have fire
lanes and access for municipal equipment. We do have a vested right then
in that particular area to have it safe so we are not damaging Village
equipment. Therefore, if we can do that we can probably transcend that
authority and get into the other areas of the parking lot.
Trustee Petri said that maybe the Village should look at the base of the
parking lot maybe it is too thin to start with and since we have a few new
shopping centers on the books , maybe, we should look at the Village
parking lot standards and get those upgraded so we won't have future
problems as severe as they are now.
The consensus of the Board was for the Manager to approach the
Owners/Managers of the shopping centers and see if he can prevail upon
them to correct the existing problems and to report back to the Board in a
few weeks on whether they found a problem and what the reception was of
the management authority and/or owners.
At this time, 9: 15 p.m. , Trustee Tosto arrived at the meeting.
Trustee Bosslet asked the Police Chief if any of the cars for sale in the
parking lot had been ticketed as yet.
The Chief responded that as a form of warning a copy of the Village
ordinance prohibiting the parking of cars for sale in the parking lots has
been placed under the windshield wiper. After the signs have been up for
a period of one week, tickets will be placed on the offending vehicles.
At this time, 9:20 p.m. , the President asked if anyone in the audience
wished to address the Board.
A gentleman in the audience stated that at the last Board meeting he was
told that Lieutenant Rose had dropped his suit against the Village and
that is not the case.
President Zettek answered that the Village is aware of that.
- 7 - 4-8-86
The Village Manager presented a plat of subdivision that has been reviewed
by the Plan Commission , the Judiciary, Planning and Zoning Committee and
Staff entitled, "Gullo Chase Subdivision" .
It was moved by Trustee Petri and seconded by Trustee Hauser that the
Board adopt Resolution No. 30-86 entitled, "RESOLUTION OF APPROVAL OF PLAT
OF SUBDIVISION IDENTIFIED AS GULLO CHASE AVENUE INDUSTRIAL PARK". The
President directed the Clerk to call the roll on the motion and upon the
roll being called the following answered AYE: Trustees Bosslet, Gallitano,
Hauser, Petri , Tosto; NAY. none; ABSENT: Chernick; whereupon the
President declared the motion carried.
The Village Manager presented an ordinance to grant a variation to permit
parking into the required front yard at 2420 Elmhurst Road.
It was moved by Trustee Petri and seconded by Trustee Tosto that the Board
waive the first reading rule of an ordinance as it pertains to a variation
of Section 3.55 of the Zoning Ordinance. The motion was voted upon by
acclamation; whereupon the President declared the motion carried.
It was moved by Trustee Petri and seconded by Trustee Tosto that the Board
adopt Ordinance No. 1793 entitled, "AN ORDINANCE GRANTING A VARIATION OF
SECTICN 3.55, C-2 OF THE ZONING ORDINANCE OF THE VILLAGE OF ELK GROVE
VILLAGE TO PERMIT THE PARKING OF VEHICLES FIVE (5) FEET INTO THE REQUIRED

NAY: none; ABSENT: Chernick; whereupon the President declared the motion
carried.
The Village Manager presented two letters of recommendation from the
Zoning Board of Appeals pertaining to Docket Nos. 86-7 and 86-8 for the
Boards consideration.
It was moved by Trustee Hauser and seconded by Trustee Bosslet to concur
with the "Do Grant" recommendation of the Zoning Board of Appeals, Docket
No. 86-7, and to direct the Village Attorney to prepare the proper
ordinance. The motion was voted upon by acclamation; whereupon the
President declared the motion carried.

Trustee Petri said the Cable Committee met on April 3, 1986 and said a
letter will be sent cut with the new rate schedule which will become
effective in August, 1986. Trustee Petri said some of the rates are going
up and some are going down but it is a new structure. A copy of the list
and the letter will be distributed to the Board. The next meeting will be
held in Palatine on Thursday, June 5, 1986.
The President said the O'Hare Advisory Committee meeting for this Thursday
has been deferred and no date has been set as yet.
Trustee Hauser reported that the Board met on April 1, 1986 with Mr.
Harvey Zorn and Gary West to discuss the ramifications and the problems
that may arise regarding a free trade zone.
The President said the Board of Health is putting in a lot of effort on
the licensing ordinance as it applies to congregate housing and they are
also looking at the health impact study.
Trustee Hauser said there was a meeting this morning at 7:30 a.m. of the
Northwest Municipal Conference - Transportation Partnership Study,
however, he was unable to attend. Trustee Hauser will be checking with
William Grams to get the information on the review of the consultants
technical analysis and everything that he has put together. The Northwest
- 8 - 4-8-86
Municipal Conference Staff will propose time line of procedure for
IDOT/Municipal Review of the recommendations. Another item on the agenda
is implementin.o the recommendation and they will discuss what oversight
will be provided to encourage implementation of the partnerships
recommendations. The Northwest Municipal Conference Staff is going to
propose creating a board model after the NCCPIC Board.
The Village Clerk presented a request from the Elk Grove Park District for
a waiver of Alarm User License fee for Channel . It was moved by Trustee
Petri and seconded by Trustee Bosslet that the Board waive the Alarm User
License fee for Channel 6 located at 499 Biesterfield Road (Park
District). The motion was voted upon by acclamation whereby Trustee
Hauser passed; whereupon the President declared the motion carried.
President Zettek said he contacted the principal of Adolph Link School and
she is in the process of setting up another meeting between the school
authorities, the Village Board, and the residents. A notice will be sent
to the Board as soon as that meeting date is set.
The Village Manager introduced the new Village Engineer, Alan Boffice to
the Board.
The Village Manager said there is a Special Board meeting scheduled for
April 15, 1986 at 7:00 p.m. to consider the sale of General Obligation
Bonds for Capital Project 's Program and due to an Executive Session
scheduled for that evening the Board should consider changing the Special
Board meeting time to 6:30 p.m.

the staring time of the Special Board meeting on April 15, 1986 to 6:30
p.m. The motion was voted upon by acclamation; whereupon the President
declared the motion carried.
The Village Manager said that some materials on that Special Board meeting
has been distributed to the Board. It is anticipated that some additional
information will be going out before the end of the week that has all the
numbers and the official statement document is put into final form for
consideration.
The Village Manager reported on the following item:
1. Approval of the Board is needed to send out a letter
from the Fire Department to Day Care Center operators
about training programs. The Manager said that he
would interpret the absence of a response to assume
that communication meets with approval . (President
Zettek said that in these cases if no negative feed
back is received within 48 hours to go ahead with the
mailing. )
2. The Manager's Office has a number of tickets available
for the April 10, 1986 meeting with Governor Thompson
at Oakton Community College.
3. The Joint Action Water Agency dinner will be held on
April 18, 1986.
4. The Manger said the Board has not yet reviewed the
wages and salaries and suggested a number of dates for
the Boards consideration in order for that package to
be approved at the Board meeting of April 22, 1986 so
that whatever adjustments are authorized can be
incorporated into the May 1, 1986 paychecks.
The consensus of opinion was to meet at 7:00 p.m. on
April 21, 1986.
5. The Hertz Rent-A-Car Company has elected to exercise a
purchase of another parcel of property outside of Elk
- 9 - 4-8-86
Grove Village and therefore, will not be pursuing
their option on the property within Elk Grove Village.
6. The Water Agency has delivered over a billion gallons
of water to the seven communities. In the month of
March alone the delivery was 495 million gallons. The
Village portion of that was about 80 million gallons.
The volume of water being delivered to the communities
is increasing. There is one connect point that has
not yet been activated and probably will not be until
a more definitive answer is found to the chatter and
vibration to the "ball valves". This problem has been
exhibited in the other connect points throughout the
system but no where near the magnitude of the one at.
the Dierking Terrace facility. The engineers ,
designers and manufacturers are all working to find a
solution to the problem. The Director of Public Works
said the other three connect points are open, however,
the water in the system is still a mingle of Lake
Michigan water and well water.
7. The Executive Committee of the Water Agency has been
looking at refunding of the 1985 107 million dollar
bond issue that was sold to close out the project. It
appears that there are a number of alternatives to
reduce the cost of the water. The options being looked
at will produce a saving ranging from 3.2 cents per
thousand gallons to 5.2 cents per thousand gallons.
What those numbers turn out to be, for example, at 5.2
cents would be an annual savings of $522,000 for about
25 years. Those options are being examined and if the
bond market and all the other constraints that have to
be abided by continue to work toward our benefit, it
will be recommended to the Board of Directors of the
Water Agency that some part, if not all , of the 1985
Bond Issue be refunded in order to achieve the kinds
of savings as stated.
8. There is a piece of legislation that has passed the
House and the Senate that has to do with the
monitoring of storm water discharge points throughout
the United States. The measure is now before a
confidence committee hoping that through that process
they will find the correct words that both chambers
will agree to. The legislation is selective and
discriminatory to the highest order, it applies only
to those systems that have separate sanitary sewers
and separate storm sewer systems. Communities with
combined sewer systems are not covered by the proposed
legislation. There appears to be enough strength in
both Houses to pass a bill of this nature.
The Manager described the process that would be
required by the Village and the costs that would be
incurred stating that each single connect point could
be as much as $8,000 making this a very costly
proposition.
The Manger feels this will be step one leading to a
point in the future when the requirements will be to
treat storm water in the same basic sense as sanitary
waste is presently treated.
The Village Manager feels that the Village ought to
again voice objection to this measure as was done last
fall and if there is no objection, the Village should
file another objection to that piece of legislation.

The Village Manager recommended that the Board consider awarding five
trade contracts to continue on with the Municipal Building additions. The
five companies have tendered the bids and the bids have been reviewed.
The total of the bids is $170,924.00. The largest of which is $57,500 for
flooring and carpeting as stated in the memorandum of the Finance Director
dated April 4, 1986.
It was moved by Trustee Petri and seconded by Trustee Tosto that the Board
award five trade contracts for the Municipal Building addition per the
April 4, 1986 memorandum from the Director of Finance. The President
directed the Clerk to call the roll on the motion and upon the roll being
called the following answered AYE: Trustees Hauser, Petri , Tosto,
Bosslet, Gallitano; NAY: none; ABSENT: Chernick; whereupon the President
declared the motion carried.
Trustee Hauser commented on the following items:
1. He did not feel the Village should put up the guard
rail on Biesterfield Road and David.
2. Trustee Hauser questioned why the Village Manger did
not feel that the Village should look into the sun
tanning operation.
The Manager stated that principally this is a private
business enterprise and there is no impact on the
public health, welfare or safety other than on those
people who may visit those places in much the same way
as they might visit a grocery store or some other
facility where they do so at their own volition. The
market place ought to determine whether those kinds of
facilities continue in business and if so under what
conditions and terms from a private business point of
view as opposed to a governmental point of view.
Surely there are risks associated with artificial
suntanning in must the same way as there is risk
associated with natural tanning process out in the
sunlight.
The question is to what extent does the user of that
source of tanning material use good judgement or fails
to use good judgement. I do not believe that this is
the arena for local government to exercise its police
powers or licensing or regulation powers.
The President said he has read a report from the
Health Department and they are going to send another
letter to the Board advocating that the Board do
something regarding licensing of these establishments.
3. Trustee Hauser referred to the Nerge Road project and
the status of the FAUS funding.
The Village Engineer said he met with the Department
of Transportation last week and they are looking to
have the highway acquired by June, 1986, to have an
early July County bid letting. The County does not
have to conform to the Federal Government timetable.
We are on a very strict time table with the right-of-
ways people, appraisers, negotiators, and reviewers.
With very good luck we should make the July deadline.
If we make the June 30th deadline the funds will be
available.
The President said there is a great concentration
going on throughout the Chicago and suburban area to
use all the FAUS money we can because nobody knows
what is going to happen in latter part of the year as
a result of the Gramm-Rudman Bill and a lot of
- 11 - 4-8-86
Federal constraints on money. There is a Bill in the
congress that suggests that all monies that normally
were allocated to FAUS monies would be dedicated to
the State along with highway funding and then the
State would allocate money back to the Chicago and
suburban communities. It is incumbent upon us to get
the right-of-way as quickly as possible because if we
run into delays we could be at risk. That was one
reason that Elk Grove Village was asked to be the lead
agency because we have a track record and the
wherewithal through Staff to pursue the right-of-ways
and all the other kind of other organization that is
needed.
Trustee Hauser wanted to confirm that if the money
should be gone there is no obligation upon the Village
to have to put up funds to get that road finished.
It was moved by Trustee Petri 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
10:09 P.M.
