The Northwest Municipal Conference will hold its regular monthly meeting Wednesday, September 10, 1986 at 7:30 p.m. at the Mount Prospect Public Library. President Zettek will attend this meeting. 2. JAWA has delivered in excess of one billion gallons of water to the 7 cities in a single month. Elk Grove Village took the largest share of that volume and used 252.6 million gallons of water. Early estimates indicated the cost of water to be approximately 2.18 per thousand and it appears that the cost to date is running at 1.68 per thousand. In the month of August, the cost was only 1.45 per thousand gallons of water. Both of those numbers are substantially below the long range projected number of 1.87 for the year 1992. The system is operating efficiently and at a cost level that has exceeded expectation. 3. The following items should be added to the Committee- of-the-Whole meeting on Tuesday, September 16, 1986: a. The disposition of the property at the northeast corner of Dierking Terrace and Landmeier Road. b. The locations throughout the Village where residents have covered their sidewalks with asphalt. A report and recommendation has been made on that subject and Staff now needs direction on how to proceed with an enforcement action. 4. A report was distributed to the Board on a subregional approach to regulation of Cab Service entitled Public Passenger Vehicle Regulations. Perhaps the Judiciary, Planning and Zoning Committee could review the report and file a recommendation with the Board. The report which was worked on by various Police Chiefs, including Elk Grove Village Police Chief Engelbrecht, warrants careful consideration for enactment in Elk Grove Village. 5. The draft traffic improvement recommendation for the Northwest Municipal Conference will be distributed this week. 6. The liner/sealing membrane that is being installed as part of the Street Improvement Program this year will be installed tomorrow, Wednesday, September 10, 1986 in J. F. Kennedy Boulevard and perhaps on Charles Lane. If anyone is interested in seeing this operation, they should be there before noon tomorrow. Trustee Petri questioned the Village Manager relative to the advertising benches which have been placed throughout the Village. The Manager responded that the State indicated they would remove any benches that were placed in the State right-of-ways and the County has written letters to owners of those benches. Trustee Hauser questioned the progress on Nerge Road. - 5 - 9-9-86 The Village Engineer stated that the negotiator is in the process of acquiring land, and the appraisals have been completed. The Village Engineer said the County will have a bid opening in April 1987. Discussion followed regarding if the Village would have any control over the Nerge Road project and whether there should be a bonus or penalty clause in the contract to guarantee the completion date. The President said the County will be letting the bids and the Village will have very little to say regarding the project. The Village Engineer stated that since FAUS money will be used for this project there are certain guidelines which must be followed and therefore a closer watch will be kept than if it were just a County project. The Village Manager requested the Board to consider the approval of a Letter of Credit to guarantee the installation of public improvements for property located at 1200 Devon Avenue, The Federal Express project site. The Letter of Credit is written on the Citizens Bank & Trust Company of Park Ridge and has been reviewed and approved by the Village Attorney.
