A program is being started to honor all of the Heisman Trophy winners by interviewing each of them. These interviews will be shown starting next month. The Village President reported that the O'Hare Advisory Committee had a meeting 10 days ago on the "150" Study. Certain language was changed so there would be more reference and definitive language as to how there would be mitigating actions toward reducing noise and air pollution. They also wanted more specific language that would not penalize the homeowner, in the footprint created by the study, to have in his covenant the fact he was in a noise impacted zone, which would defeat his ability to sell the property at its true.worth. Subsequent to that NIPC approved, with some recommendations, the "150" Study being conducted, but had some language - 2 - 9-23-86 that the concerns as expressed by the O'Hare Advisory Committee and the Suburban O'Hare Commission be recognized. Trustee Gallitano said there was some concern by several communities that NIPC was not supporting the suburban element in this process and questioned if the language which they suggested be inserted would protect the suburban homeowner. The President answered that their Committee was not that strong. What they did was approve the "150" Study and suggested that this footprint, which identifies those communities which are noise and air pollution impacted, not be submitted to the FAA. By not submitting that footprint or map, they felt there would not be an adverse effect on the homeowners at this time; and secondly, they asked that there be some consideration to the concerns of the suburban communities surrounding O'Hare as to more specific and stronger language with regard to air and noise pollution. They suggest that there be an ability for the suburban communities to have input on those kinds of decisions in the "150" Study that the suburban communities felt were not in their best interest. But, in effect, they approved the "150" Study with those comments. The President further ` explained that NIPC is only an agency that hears opinion and they did not feel that they had the authority, as a reviewing agent, to reject spending of Federal dollars under the A-95 Charter. Discussion followed as to whether the Village should continue in the funding of NIPC and what services NIPC provides for Elk Grove Village. A request was made for a list of services that have been and are provided to the Village by NIPC. Trustee Gallitano reported that the Elk Grove Distance Classic was run recently and there were 500 participants and over $3,000 of net revenue was collected which will be used for funding community programs. The Community Service Board is interviewing candidates to fill the Community Service Coordinator position. Trustee Hauser said a report entitled, "Northwest Municipal Conference Traffic Improvement Recommendation" has been distributed. The corridors are Higgins Road and Devon Avenue, and the Village Manager has also listed Algonquin Road. This will be forwarded to the Illinois Department of Transportation. The report serves to notify State Officials of the transportation needs of the Northwest Suburban area. The Village has until September 19, 1986 to submit any additional data or information. The Village Manager suggested Landmeier Road widening. The Village Clerk read a letter from the Elk Grove High School Student Council Advisor advising the Village of the time and date of their annual "Bonfire" and Homecoming Parade which will take place on October 14 and 17, 1986, respectively and requesting a waiver of the permit fee for the parade.

The Village Manager reported on the following: 1. The Board of Directors of the Joint Action Water Agency sold $100,000,000.00 in Revenue Bonds to retire and refund bonds issued in 1985 at a gross savings through the year 2015 of about $10,000,000.00, which means $348,000 per year or 3.4 cents per gallon. The Board of Directors and the Executive Committee will be considering, over the next few months, whether or not to reduce the invoicing to the cities predicated on that savings immediately or delay the invoicing at the reduced rate for a period of several years or longer. This would provide the Agency with a fund sufficient to cover any contingencies which may occur over the next several years. This was a very successful refunding program and, under the pending Federal Tax Legislation, that is the last time the agency can deal with a refunding matter until 1992. On new bonds or new construction that may be authorized those bonds may be refunded up to three (3) times. 2. A survey will be distributed from the Northwest Municipal Conference asking elected and appointed officials throughout the Conference area about the kinds of things that ought to be called to the attention of our legislators in Springfield, Washington D.C. and the City of Chicago through the County of Cook. Any ideas should be jotted down and the details will be filled in and filed with the Conference by October 10, 1986. 3. The Northwest Municipal Conference is sponsoring a "Fun Day" on October 9, 1986, the annual golf outing, barbecue and semi-business meeting. If anyone is interested in attending they should notify the Manager's office so they may make the necessary reservation. 4. The snowplowing competition conducted by the Northwest Municipal Conference and the American Public Works - 5 - 9-23-86 Association, Suburban Branch will be held on October 18, 1986 at Arlington Park. Trustee Tosto will represent the Village in the Mayors & Elected Officials Contest. 5. The Village Clerk has notified the Cook County Clerk that the Village does not believe an issue, which was presented to the Village, was properly filed, that it was accurate or that it presented the required number of signatures to warrant being placed on the ballot. At this time, we do not know if the objection to that issue will bear any fruit or not. 6. There will be a public hearing before the Plan Commission regarding the use of the Mark Hopkins School on October 15, 1986. All of the proper documents and fees have been filed. The Village Manager requested the Boards approval of an agreement with the Illinois Department of Transportation to share in the cost of engineering services to prepare the preliminary design for the interchange at Arlington Heights Road and the Northwest Tollway. In May the Village approved entering into such an agreement at $187,500.00 with the Village of Arlington Heights, doing the same thing, and the remaining 50% of the cost for that project will be paid for by the State of Illinois. The State wants a formal document which has been distributed to you prior to this meeting. It was moved by Trustee Petri and seconded by Trustee Hauser that the Board adopt Resolution No. 80-86 entitled, "A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE VILLAGE PRESIDENT AND VILLAGE CLERK TO EXECUTE AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE VILLAGE OF ELK GROVE VILLAGE AND THE STATE OF ILLINOIS FOR THE IMPROVEMENT OF ARLINGTON HEIGHTS ROAD (INTERCHANGE)".

Since mid-September, the Village has not been able to contact any of the principles of the company, the phones are disconnected and the offices are not attended. We have reason to suspect that the company is either going out of business or being reorganized in some form. It was moved by Trustee Tosto and seconded by Trustee Chernick that the Board authorize the calling of a public hearing on Birk's Transporta- tion's ability to provide service. 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 meeting be adjourned.
