Zettek called the meeting to order at 8:10 p.m. in the Municipal Building, 901 Wellington Avenue, Elk Grove Village and noted for the record that the following were present: Trustees Joseph T. Bosslet, Dennis J. Gallitano, Edward R. Hauser, James P. Petri , Michael A. Tosto; ABSENT: Ronald L. Chernick. Village Manager, Charles A. Willis; Village Attorney, George B. Knickerbocker; and Village Clerk, Patricia S. Smith were present at this meeting. Mr. William Gietl , Deacon, Saint Julian Eymard Parish, delivered the invocation. It was moved by Trustee Petri and seconded by Trustee Bosslet that the Board approve the minutes of September 23, 1986 and dispense with the readino thereof. The motion was voted upon by acclamation; whereupon the President declared the motion carried. President Zettek reported that the Suburban O'Hare Commission 's request for a hearing on the decision that was rendered by the Federal Court of Appeals in Chicago was denied by the Supreme Court without comment. The SOC finds no other recourse, as far as the courts are concerned, to resolving both the expansion of O'Hare Airport and the noise and air pollution that has been created by the heavy traffic in and out of O'Hare. It would appear now that the opportunity to get some mitigation, with noise and air pollution, rests in the ability to lobby in Springfield for various kinds of legislation that will enable the reduction, control or alleviation of the noise and air pollution that is emanating with the traffic in and out of O'Hare, and perhaps the ability to get a regional airport authority whereby the suburban communities would be represented by a given number of members. The President requested the Board to meet after this meeting to discuss a few items. President Zettek proclaimed "Junior Clubwoman Week", October 12 through 18, 1986, in Elk Grove Village. It was moved by Trustee Petri and seconded by Trustee Tosto that the Board authorize the disbursement of $1,531,610.64 in payment of invoices as shown on the October 14, 1986 Accounts Payable Warrant. 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. President Zettek requested the Board to abide by the General Consent "Rules of Order" during the proceedings of this meeting. Mr. Don Munson representing "The Dominium Group" requested the removal of item N, an ordinance amending Ordinance No. 1817, from the Consent Agenda until the developer can meet with the Village Board to discuss an alternative date certain for the consummation of the annexation of that property. The Developer/Contract Purchaser has not had a closing on the property, as yet, due to problems with financing; however, they do intend to go ahead with the project and expect to close on the sale between now and the end of March, 1987. President Zettek stated that a date certain is necessary and requested Mr. Munson to have the Contract Purchaser, The Dominium Group, contact the Village Manager's Office before the end of the week.

The Village Clerk reported that the 1985 Motor Fuel Tax Audit from the Illinois Department of Transportation has been received and reviewed by the Finance Department, and is on file in the Clerk's Office. The Village Manager reported on the following: 1. During the week of October 3, 1986, the Village of Elk Grove Village furnished the services of Public Works, Police and Fire Departments to the Village of Mt. Prospect to assist them in the flood damage that was occurring in their community. The Mt. Prospect) Mayor, Manager and Director of Public Works have taken time to convey to us their sincerest appreciation for the aid and assistance given to them by the Village. The Village's response to a neighboring community in need and that community's expression of appreciation to us typifies the kind of intergovernmental cooperation that is occurring in this area and the kind of inter- governmental cooperation that Elk Grove Village has enjoyed for a number of years. The Village was spared the damage and trauma that Mt. Prospect and Des Plaines suffered perhaps due to the following reasons: A. The 1970-72 Upper Salt Creek Watershed Project located in the Ned Brown - Busse Woods Forest Preserve served to protect Elk Grove Village from a substantial flow of storm water even though that project is not yet completed. B. The State along with Du Page County has removed a number of obstacles in the creek bed south of Devon Avenue and they also did some dredging in the Salt Creek channel south of Devon Avenue. C. The expenditure of the Village over the last 3 or 4 years of some $3,000,000.00 in the rehabilitation of the sanitary sewers. All of these things taken together produced results in the community that kept the past indicators of backups (such as , the flooding of Elk Grove Boulevard at Ridge Avenue and the amount of water that comes over the banks into the flood plain area in the vicinity of Cypress, Brantwood and Carlisle) from producing the problems experienced by neighboring communities. 2. A communication was previously distributed to the Board concerning the Trammell Crow project. There is a slight modification where a terms and aspects of the Boundary Agreement with the Village of Itasca are being fulfilled except one, which is a request for a 5'6" modification to the height limitation along Devon Avenue. Two members of the Board have responded to that inquiry indicating that they did not have objections to that increase in the height due to the setback of the Building. Comments from the rest of the Trustees would be appreciated in order to advise Trammell Crow and the Village of Itasca. 3. Some tome ago, residents from the central part of the community expressed concern about the soccer field that backed up to their property. The Police Department has assisted in that matter and the Park District has agreed to meet and confer with the residents in an attempt to find a resolution to that problem. - 4 - 10-14-86 4. The Northwest Municipal Conference (NWMC) will make a presentation to the Viag11 e Board on October 28, 1986 regarding Solid Waste Disposal . The Village of Elk Grove along with 20 of er communities, under the auspices of the NWMC, have been seeking a solution to the disposal of solid waste. The Conference has developed a comprehensive plan. It has an option on a piece of ground in the vicinity of Bartlet. They are now moving ahead to pursue the development of that plan and site under the auspices of Cook County. The Village of Bartlet declined to annex the property, therefore declining the opportunity to control the project in terms of noise and pollution and have forgone the opportunity for revenue of some $500,000.00 per year. The Conference is intending to petition the Cook County Board of Commissioners and Cook County Zoning Board for a Special Use Permit for use of the property for solid waste. 5. There will be a series of public meetings in November conducted by IDOT on the subject of theE1 in/O'Hare Expressway. The State has devoted a substant amount of financial resources to the preliminary design and the planning for that project. A public hearing will be held on November 12, 1986 in Roselle; November 18, in Elk Grove Village; and November 20, 1986 in Bensenville. Written notice will be given to the Village to be publicized so that anyone in the community who is interested in finding out about the expressway will have an opportunity to voice their concerns. 6. Despite the Villages objection to the issue of a referendum on the November Ballot dealing with the question of pay raises for Illinois General Assembly Officials, the County Clerk is going to put that question on the ballot which will be voted on by persons who are registered in Elk Grove Village. 7. A report has been received from the Director of Finance indicating that our 1985 equalized assessed valuation is now $826,004,555.00. 72% of that tax base is due to industrial development and another 7% is due to commercial development with the remaining 21%, for the most part, residential development in the community. 8. The Park District has invited the Board to an Open House at the Leisure Fitness Center on Tuesday, October 28, 1986 from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Those who are interested in attending should notify the Park District direct. Trustee Petri requested that the Village take some action to the removal of the advertising benches throughout the Village since no action has been taken by the Department of Highways. The Assistant Village Manager said that since notification has been sent to the Cook County Highway Department and the Illinois Department of Transportation, the benches seem to be multiplying.
