for the 4th of July fireworks in the amount of $4 , 000 . 00 and a waiver

very highly and they deserve our compliments .

3 . The Joint Action Water Agency Board of
Directors will meet at 7 : 30 a.m. on
Wednesdav, February 28 , 1985 in the Ell:
Grove Village Municipal Building.
That session will be devoted to reviewing
the steps and progress made to date in the
refinancing of the Agency' s short term notes .
Through competitive bids and timet- production
there will be a refinancing of 35 Million Dollars ,
netting a cavinrjs of ;cme 7 '.Zillion Dollar; in
that category alone . Through some ,ther .-trranae-
ments , which are being developed, at the resent
time the agenc , �:nti.cip- te, the retinanci-a of
t I-T—T r'-'rm bond i -h-it `-'in ^1t `o the —cir 201.5 .
- 4 - 2-26-85
Interest terms are much more favorable then when
they were issued. It appears those bonds can be
refinanced and establish the necessary net reserve
requirements at a savings of approximately 15 to
20 Million Dollars over the length of the bonds .
That translates into 3 to 4 cents per thousand
gallons downward on the cost of water. All of
those figures are in a state of flux and the
Agency is meeting with two maior insurance
companies for insurance coverage.
We have met with the rating agencv' s in New
York and are waiting for the results of those
ratings. In the meantime, new data is being
furnished to the various financial and engineering
consultants for the purpose of preparing new an-
alysis and new projections . we expect much of that
information to be available to the Board of Directors
in 3 to 4 weeks .
There is another meeting scheduled for Wednesday,
March 6 , 1985 and it is believed that the finance
schedule will be developed and up for consideration.
All activities related to the Lake Michigan Dater
Project are now on time and we are still shooting
for an operational date of mid June, 1985 .
4 . There are tickets still available for Governor
Thompson ' s meeting at Forest View High School ,
Thursday, February 2.8 , 1985 .
5 . The Industrial Development Bonds being issued
by the Villaqe have reached the cap and the
Village has been referring parties to the
Illinois Development Finance Authoritv. In
one case, Carpet Cusion & Supply Co. has
sought a $750 , 000 . 00 IRB from the State
Finance Authoritv, which is the customary
practice. The State will issue those Bonds
if the Village has no objection.
The recommendation is that the Village not
oppose that action and if there is no
direction to the contrarv, we will so advise
the State.
6 . The sanitary sewer rehabilitation is going on
and the Village is working with the contractor
and the homeowners to assure all the parties
that the restoration work will in fact be done
at the earliest possible time.
7 . Letters have been sent to the Illinois Department
of Transportation, Illinois Commerce Commission,
Director of Nuclear Safety, State of Illinois,
