Zettek called the meeting to order at 8 : 12 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, Ronald L. Chernick, Dennis J. Gallitano, Edward R. Hauser, James P. Petri; ABSENT: Trustee Michael A. Tosto. Village Manager, Charles A. Willis; Village Attorney, George Knickerbocker; and Village Clerk, Patricia S. Smith were present at this meeting. It was moved by Trustee Petri and seconded by Trustee Chernick that the minutes of August 13, 1985 be approved as submitted and that the Board dispense with the reading thereof. The motion was voted upon by acclamation; whereupon the President declared the motion carried. President Zettek informed the Board of a meeting on Friday, August 23 , 1985 with 26 people from Japan including three mayors , whose purpose it was to visit the Industrial Park and the residential area of the Village and study the impact of O'Hare Airport on the community. The Economic Development Consultants showed them the Elk Grove Village Video and answered questions about the Village. President Zettek presented them with keys to the Village and talked to them about getting the Industrial Park involved in "High Tech" industry. The President asked the Board' s consent to deviate from the Aa_enda to introduce Mrs . Cindy Willis , an Elk Grove resident, who has a problem with sewage backup and the money needed to correct the problem. President Zettek further stated that he explained to Mrs . Willis the Village ' s posture of not allowing the removal of trees from the parkway and if, in fact, they are removed, they have to be replaced at a cost to be shared by the homeowner. The Village is not responsible for the correction of any sewer problem, underground tile, between the owner ' s property and where it meets the Village sewer. Mrs . Willis related to the Board that she lives on a cul-de-sac and she had been told that in order to remove the Silver Maple roots from her sewer line, the parkway, including her dr.ivewav and her neighbor ' s driveway, would have to be dug up at a cost of approximately $6 , 000 . 00. If the tree is not removed this same problem could reoccur. Discussion followed, and it was the consensus of the Board to have Village personnel reassess the problem and ascertain the problem and approximate costs and submit their findings to the Board. The Board will then deliberate as to whether or not they would deviate from their previous posture and possibly share the cost of clearing that sewer. It was moved by Trustee Petri and seconded by Trustee Bosslet that the Board authorize the disbursement of $613 , 073 . 13 in payment of invoices as shown on the August 27 , 1985 Accounts Payable Warrant.

Trustee Hauser stated that he requested the removal of item F, Residential Scavenger Service Agreement, from the Consent Agenda because he feels the Village has a bona fide contract with Garden City that was entered into one year ago. At that time , consideration was given when the rates ware established to take into consideration that there might be increases in dumping rates , cost of living, etc. Five years ago Garden City requested an increase. At that time, the Board took the stance that there was a legal contract and they were - 2 - 8-27-85 upholding their end of the bargain and it was expected that Garden City would do the same. Trustee Hauser said that as the increase would be $0 . 16 per family, Garden City could absorb the cost. President Zettek explained that the cost of $0. 16 represents the cost per home to remove the garbage from that home to the dump site. Garden City has already passed the increase on to their commercial customers . The Board should know that several years bark the Board negotiated to remove from the contract the ability of Garden City to increase their residential rates predicated on anvthing untoward happening with what it would cost them with regard to finding an appropriate landfill and the cost associated with bringing the garbage to that landfill. They are aware that the Village does not have to approve the increase. Garden City is requesting this increase due to their incurring a surcharge (from DuPage County) that had not been anticipated for garbage being brought to DuPage into the Mallard Landfill from other than DuPage County. Discussion followed as to setting a precedent for further increases , the class of service being given by Garden City, the cost allowed by the present contract, and other dumping sites . The Village Manager said the Northwest Municipal Conference is working on locating other waste sites , which is becoming a very critical problem. The consensus of the Board was that Garden City Disposal Company gives very good service and the President recommended granting the increase. It was moved by Trustee Chernick and seconded by Trustee Petri that the Board adopt Resolution No. 70-85 entitled, "A RESOLUTION AMENDING RESOLUTION NO. 37-84 , RESIDENTIAL SCAVENGER SERVICE AGREEMENT WITH GARDEN CITY DISPOSAL COMPANY, BY INCREASING THE SERVICE CHARGES" .

The Plan Commission conducted a public hearing on the requested O-T rezoning from R-3 zoning. Although they feel that the property should be zoned B-2 , there was a unanimous vote to grant the 0-T zoning so as not to delay the petitioner in beginning construction. It was the consensus of the Board to direct the Attorney to prepare an ordinance for the annexation and rezoning with the stipulation that after further consideration of the Board, if they feel the B-2 zoning would be more consistent to the area, the Village may within six (6) months petition the Plan Commission for rezoning the property from O-T to B-2 zoning.

The Water Project is in the full testing system at the present time. The test will continue on for several weeks and the estimated time for turn-on will be late September or early October. 3 . It was discussed last week the possibility of some public agency taking over property for permanent ownership under a Federal Grant program. The property would be purchased by some Federal Funds and turned over to the public agency for ownership and maintenance. The Village has consulted with the Park District and advised that while there has been no formal response by the Park District, they are not excited whatsoever about the Park District taking over the ownership and whatever maintenance would be required in the flood plain area. They point out that the land has no accessibility short of some significant expenditures for an active park site.
