At that time, we will inform the Industrial Ditch Committee that we will stop continuing these meetings and take some kind of action.

Trustee Chernick stated that he has nothing against their operation in this area. Trustee Chernick would have voted for it, if it had been kept as a Special Use.

Trustee Gallitano questioned the Health Coordinator regarding the "Stack Testing" to be performed at Chicago Magnet Wire at the end of August, asking why the testing was not including the measurement of zylene, phenols, etc. , which are the odors creating problems for residents in the area. Mrs . Yiannias said they will encourage Chicago Magnet Wire to include these further tests even though the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency only requires the testing of carbon. The Village Manager also stated that he felt they can be convinced to have those additional samples tested. The President informed the Board that he and Trustee Bosslet attended a meeting on July 18 , 1985 with the Suburban O'Hare Commission and, as things stand, they are still awaiting their day in court. The prevailing feeling of the Commission is that if they should lose the suit, they will go on to the United States Supreme Court. The Village Manager presented two ordinances dealing with the fire lanes and no parking signs in the Elk Grove Townhouse Estates, and a Findings and Order regarding American Taxi.

The motion was voted upon by acclamation; whereupon the President declared the motion carried. It was moved by Trustee Chernick and seconded by Trustee Tosto that the Board adopt Ordinance No. 1738 entitled, AN ORDINANCE AMENDING . SECTION 23 .903M OF ARTICLE IX (LAND DESIGNATIONS) OF THE MUNICIPAL CODE OF THE VILLAGE OF ELK GROVE VILLAGE BY DELETING DESIGNATED FIRE LANES FOR THE ELK GROVE ESTATES TOWNHOUSE ASSOCIATION II" . A gentleman in the audience addressed the Board stating he was here to oppose the passing of this ordinance, stating this would create a bigger problem, fire hazard and traffic hazard. Trustee Tosto said the next ordinance places no parking signs on the islands in that area to allow fire engines to get into that area. Y - 5 - 7-23-85 The gentleman stated he has trouble getting out of his driveway now and this will compound the problem. The Fire Chief said the streets in this area are wider than the streets in the rest of the residential area in the Village and since they are public streets, it is improper to have them designated as fire lanes. The gentleman stated that the Association does not want the signs taken down. The Assistant Village Manager said the signs should have been taken down when the streets were accepted. The fire lanes have not been enforced because they are public streets. The gentleman requested the item be tabled until the .next meeting and he will bring the President of the Association to that meeting. It was moved by Trustee Chernick and seconded by Trustee Gallitano that the motion be tabled. The President directed the Clerk to call the roll on the motion and upon the roll being called the following answered AYE: Trustees Bosslet, Chernick, Gallitano; NAY: Tosto; ABSENT: Hauser, Petri; whereupon the President declared the motion carried. Trustee Gallitano requested this item be discussed at the Committee-of-the-Whole meeting next Tuesday, July 30 , 1985 at 7 :00 p.m. The gentleman in the audience was invited to attend. President Zettek stated that they should remember that the Fire Lane signs have to come down because they are not in keeping with the Village ordinance as it applies to all the other streets in the Village. It was moved by Trustee Bosslet and seconded by Trustee Tosto that the Board authorize the Village President to execute the Findings and Order placing the American Taxi Dispatch, Inc. on probation for the licensing year June 1 , 1985 through May 31 , 1986 . 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, Tosto; NAY: Chernick; ABSENT: Hauser, Petri; whereupon President Zettek voted "AYE" and declared the motion carried. A representative of the Just Pants , Inc. addressed the Board and thanked them for their consideration. The Village Manager said the Police Department was notified a few weeks ago to step up enforcement of the outdoor water use ordinance due to the drop in the water level. The Village has, since April, lost about 50 feet of water (which is 30 feet more than is normally used in a normal year) and that level continues to fall due to the weather conditions. The Village is still in position to deliver the volumes of water throughout the community but asks the public to be conservative in the use of water for noneessential purposes . A total ban on outdoor water use will not be necessary if the public cooperates . All of the work on the wells has been completed, and we are able to fill the 10 and 1/2 million gallons above ground water storage facilities every night. The Manager requested the Board to award a contract to Neptune Construction Company, the low bidder, for an emergency water connection with the Village of Schaumburg. We were going to request a temporary connection originally but upon examination of the cost, that being around $7, 000 . 00 , and the cost to install a permanent connection of $16 , 000 . 00; we believe the economics are favorable to install the permanent connection. Discussion followed regarding the need for the permanent emergency - 6 - 7-23-85 connection with the coming of Lake Michigan water and that this would be insurance in case of any emergency for either community. Discussion followed regarding the need for a 12" pipe connection over an 8" connection and whether the water would be metered on these connections with Bensenville and Schaumburg. It was moved by Trustee Tosto and seconded by Trustee Chernick that the Board authorize awarding a contract to Neptune Construction Company to install a metered 12" water connection at a cost not to exceed $25 ,000 . 00 . The President directed the Clerk to call the roll on the motion and upon the roll being called the following answered AYE: Trustees Chernick, Gallitano, Tosto, Bosslet; NAY: none; ABSENT: Hauser, Petri; whereupon the President declared the motion carried. The Village Manager recommended the Board reject the single bid received for refinishing the outside of Greenleaf Fire Station. Seven Bids were sought and only one responded. That bid was several Thousand Dollars above the budgeted amount. Upon examining why the other companies did not bid, it was discovered that the contractors were extremely busy. We recommend the Board authorize readvertising for bids , that would be taken later this year, in hopes more parties would be willing to respond to the bid. It was moved by Trustee Chernick and seconded by Trustee Tosto that the Board reject the bid for refinishing the outside of Greenleaf Fire Station as recommended by the Village Manager. The President directed the Clerk to call the roll on the motion and upon the roll being called the following answered AYE: Trustees Gallitano, Chernick, Tosto, Bosslet; - NAY: none; ABSENT: Hauser, Petri ; whereupon the President declared the motion carried. The Village Manager reported on the following: 1 . The installation- of the- four-way stop sign at Rohlwing Road and Biesterfield Road seems to be working quite well. There has not been . any cutting through the commercial area to avoid the intersection. There is construction going on now to widen Biesterfield Road beyond Home Avenue to Meacham Road. This project will take about three months to be completed. 2 . The Capital Improvements Committee public hearing is scheduled for Tuesday, August 6 , 1985 at 7 : 30 p.m. in the Council Chambers. It is anticipated that we will hear comments from the interested parties and then the Board ought to consider whether we will proceed with a voluntary financing program or move ahead with a special taxing district (industrial ditches) . 3 . The Village has received some additional franchise fee payments from American Cable T.V. A total of $22 , 000 .00 representing the 28 fee and the 3% fee. The gross receipts for the services during this period is $38 ,878 . 00 or approximately 8% less than the previous period, January 1 through March 31 , 1985 . 4 , A summary has been distributed to the Board of the meeting held with the consultants engaged by the State of Illinois who prepare plans and data for the construction of the Elgin-O 'Hare Expressway. The bottom line - 7 - 7-23-85 ey A — 4�k of that report indicates that the final design would not be completed until December, 1987 . There will be a public hearing on Tuesday, July 30, 1985 in Hanover Park and another meeting on August 1 , 1985 in Bensenville. The Village will be represented at the Bensenville hearing in an attempt to put forth the kind of points that are of interest to Elk Grove Village, both the residential community and the industrial community. Additional hearings will be held in March, 1986 and October, 1986, with the official public hearing being held sometime in mid year, 1987 . It is a long, drawn out process but everything at the present time indicates that once they finish it they will, in fact, clear the ground and put down some concrete and provide some major east/west traffic way from Irving Park Road to Hanover Park and perhaps as far west as Elgin. 5. The Village will be doing what it can and must do to secure the kinds of samples that will tell us whether or not Chicago Magnet Wire is in compliance with the 1972 Court Order and the local Village zoning regula- tions as to industrial performance standards. 6 . The Fire Chief requests authorization to send a letter to the Industrial Community advising them of the services available through the Fire Department to conduct seminars on emergency planning activities. This is the second year for the letter, the only change being the date. The consensus of the Board was no objection. It, was moved by Trustee Bosslet and seconded by Trustee Tosto that the Board hold an Executive Session for the purpose of discussing land acquisition following this meeting. The motion was voted upon by acclamation; whereupon the President declared the motion carried. It was moved by Trustee Bosslet and seconded by Trustee Tosto that the meeting be adjourned. The motion was voted upon by acclamation; whereupon the President declared the motion carried and the meeting adjourned at 10 : 50 p.m. Patricia S. Smith Village Clerk Charles J.
