$0.37 per thousand gallons by stating for the record that because the
construction of the water pipeline system from Lake Michigan to the
suburbs is viewed in his mind as a basic infrastructure to the Village
that the cost should be borne, in part, by the property taxes. Trustee
Gallitano recommended that the Board "not" adopt the increase in the water
rate and instead consider a property tax payment plan.

Agency membership that applies part of the water cost to the property tax
is Mount Prospect.

At this time, 9:00 p.m. , the President asked if anyone in the audience

continued.
Trustee Tosto, Chairman of the Capital Improvements Committee, reported
that the Board met as a Committee-of-the-Whole on November 18, 1986 and
discussed the watermain and sewer line along Devon Avenue.
It was moved by Trustee Tosto and seconded by Trustee Petri that the Board
direct Staff to proceed to install the watermain on Devon Avenue between
Carlisle Avenue and Tonne Road and to take bids for the design of the
sewer which would be installed at such time as it becomes annexed to the
Village. The funds are available in the Capital Improvements Fund and
pursuant to the cost of the watermain to be recaptured as the properties
are developed, with the exception that properties that are prone to
flooding will not be included as part of the divisor. This project is to
be handled under the recapture Agreement as discussed previously by the
Board on November 18, 1986.
(Trustee Gallitano stated for the record that he is opposed to the
extension of the water lines along this property since there is no
developer indicating an interest in developing this property. There might
be some potential benefit to extending the water line; however, that is
not the real reason that this project is being undertaken. If there were
the expectancy of the developer coming in to develop the property, Trustee
Gallitano 's vote might be different; but since there is no developer and
there is no idea how this outlay will be recaptured now or in the future,
he feels it immature to develop this line. As far as linking the water
systems, we have operated along this corridor for 15 ,years without a major
incident in water line breakage and he does not feel that is any reason to
spend upwards of 3 or 4 hundred thousand of scarce tax dollars to fund
this project at this time. Trustee Gallitano feels it would be wise to
reconsider this decision and wait for a developer that has some concrete
ideas of development of this section to present itself to the Board.)
(The President stated that in deference to Trustee Gallitano's argument,
the Village hopes that in putting in the water line it will encourage the
development of that property and allow the Village to loop the system. )
The President directed the Clerk to call the roll on the motion and upon
the roll being called the following answered AYE: Hauser, Petri , Tosto,
Bosslet; NAY: Gallitano; ABSENT: Chernick; whereupon the President
