Trustee Gallitano asked if any provisions for the future traffic signal installation on Rohlwing Road have been made during the Biesterfield Road construction/improvements . The Village Engineer stated that he is still waiting for a commitment from IDOT for the traffic signal, but in any event there would only be a manhole required to place the apparatus control of the signal .

The Village Engineer said his requests for the signal are not included in this phase of the FAUS project . Trustee Hauser asked for the projected completion date of Biesterfield Road. The Village Engineer said he has been told the first of November, except for the restoration and it is not even close at this time . The Companv and IDOT have been contacted, but the only thing we can do is charge liquidated damages and sit out the contract. The conjecture is that the road builders have more jobs than they can handle . President Zettek asked if this same thing would happen with the reconstruction of Oakton Street and if FAUS money would be lost if the project was held off until Spring. The Village Engineer said this is already being looked into and he would check into the contract with regard to the FAUS money.

' Discussion followed between the Board, Staff and residents regarding traffic statistics , traffic speed and location of no right turn signs to best serve the area. The consensus of the Board was to enact an ordinance prohibiting right turns from Nerge Road onto Cutter Lane between the evening rush hours, 4 :00 p.m. to 7 :00 p.m. It was moved by Trustee Chernick and seconded by Trustee Gallitano that the Board waive the first reading of an ordinance as it pertains to placement of a sign on Nerge Road prohibiting a right turn at Cutter Lane. The motion was voted upon by acclamation; whereupon the President declared the motion carried. It was moved by Trustee Tostc and seconded by Trustee Hauser that the Board adopt Ordinance No. 1754 entitled, "AN ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTION 14 . 311A, NO RIGHT TURN OF THE MUNICIPAL CODE OF THE VILLAGE OF ELK GROVE VILLAGE, BY PROHIBITING RIGHT TURNS FROM NERGE ROAD ONTO CUTTER LANE BETWEEN THE HOURS OF 4 : 00 P.M.

These prizes will be distributed at the studio on Friday, October 11 , 1985 . There was also a meeting in support of the Telethon, as mentioned earlier by Virginia Hayter, and while the cable funds have been authorized for the studio and the equipment, Trustee Petri recommends the Village should support that effort with a $2 , 000 . 00 contribution out of General Funds . The publicity that the Village would get would make it worthwhile . It was moved by Trustee Petri and seconded by Trustee Tosto that the Board authorize the contribution of $2 , 000 . 00 for the Clearbrook Telethon to be held in February, 1986 . Discussion followed, as to other requests for charitable contributions and President Zettek suggested that $2 , 000 . 00 be withdrawn from the monies given to the Park District for the T.V. Studio and those funds be used for the Telethon. The Village Manager said the Park District has made inquiries about obtaining a surplus vehicle from the Village for use by the Cable TV operation. The value of that vehicle was determined and it was planned to transfer the vehicle to them and to backcharge the Park District thorough the Cable T.V. funds . This may or may not put a dent in the operating plans of Channel 6 . Trustee Petri said that the Village ' s 2% Cable funds will not be sufficient for the operation of the studio and the Park District will have to allocate additional funds for that program. Trustee Petri , with the consent of the second, withdrew the motion on the floor. It was moved by Trustee Petri and seconded by Trustee Tosto that the Board authorize a contrubution of $2, 000 . 00 for T.V. programming in support of the Clearbrook Center out of the 2% Cable T.V. funds earmarked as programming and advise the Park District.

The President .said there will be a meeting of the O 'Hare Advisory Committee Thursdav, October 10, 1985 at 10 : 00 a.m. at the O 'Hare Hilton Hotel . Residents from all over the Suburban O'Hare Commission area are being bussed in for this meeting. One of the debates to come up will be on the wisdom of the SOC group concurring with the recommendations of the City of Chicago to conduct a "150 Study" . It is felt that SOC does not have enough input into that studv. - 7 - 10-8-85 Trustee Hauser said the Economic Development Consultants have planned a luncheon for Wednesday, October 23 , 1985 at Northwest Point . Trustee Gallitano said the Community Service Board met to discuss the role of the Community Service organization in Elk Grove and plan to set some new goals for the next few years . President Zettek said the Suburban O 'Hare Committee has hired a fund- raising person and a public relations person and also mentioned the financial status of the Commission. Trustee Hauser said the Northwest Municipal Conference - Arterial Study Group will meet in the Trustee ' s Conference Room on Tuesday, October 15 , 1985 at 7 : 30 p.m. in the Mount Prospect Village Hall to discuss Phase II of the project. This will deal with congestion and traffic movement problems but not as it relates to construction options per se . Trustee Gallitano said the Public Private Sector Regional Transportation group met and discussed several ways of approaching the Suburban Bus Board to make recommendations for pumping in money to study the economic centers and identified two of them as the Woodfield area and the west O'Hare area. The thrust of the letter, to the Bus Board, is that monev is needed to study the area and to increase transportation services . Trustee Gallitano felt the tone of the letter was not specific enough as to develope those corridors that need attention, but it is a good start. President Zettek, who sits on the Suburban Bus Board, said the Board will not be in any position to respond in a favorable fashion with the support of monies . The Bus Board is in a period of having to reduce expenses and add to income due to the fare box recovery ratio put upon the Suburban Bus Board by the RTA. The Village Clerk presented an ordinance prepared by the Village Attorney, as directed by the Board at the last meeting, which pertains to a zoning variation as recommended by the Zoning Board of Appeals . It was moved by Trustee Chernick and seconded by Trustee Tosto that the Board waive the first reading rule of an ordinance as it pertains to a zoning variation for construction into the required side yard for property located at 1220 Chester Lane . The motion was voted upon by acclamation; whereupon the President declared the motion carried.

President Zettek congratulated the Fire Chief on being awarded second place by the State Fire Marshal on the Village Fire Prevention Program. The Village won first place last year. The Village Manager referred to the annexation mentioned earlier by the President and the discussion with the Village of Roselle regarding the parcel of land, west of Meacham Road, south of Devon Avenue extended, and south of the Cook County line . That area represents 20 to 25 acres and is owned by the Commonwealth Edison Company who purchased it for the purpose of providing a corridor for the Elgin O'Hare Expressway and a right-of-way for future utility lines for Edison and Northern Illinois Gas Company. The Village of Roselle is engaged in an annexation program and finds that to reach that parcel of land, they need a continuity linkage and have asked the Village of Elk Grove if there is any objection. The Village does not object; however, in order to maintain a protective nature for Elk Grove Village, it was suggested that the annexation of the property be divided equally between Roselle and Elk Grove Village. Discussions are continuing and Commonwealth Edison is willing to accommodate both communities. It is the expectations of both Villages that there will be no other uses on that land except the Elgin O'Hare expressway and the utilities . The Board will be given a recommendation after further discussion with the Village of Roselle. The Village Manager reminded the Board of the decision to have a fence installed at the Meacham Road Fire Station and 10 bids have been submitted. The recommendation is to accept the low bid of $3 , 075 .00 from Airia Heritage of Roselle. It was moved by Trustee Chernick and seconded by Trustee Petri that the board award a contract to Airia Heritage of Roselle in the amount of $3 , 075 . 00 for the installation of a fence at the Meacham Road Fire Station. The President directed the Clerk to call the roll on the motion and upon the roll being called the following answered AYE: Trustees Tosto, Chernick, Gallitano, Hauser, Petri ; NAY: none; ABSENT: Bosslet; whereupon the President declared the motion carried.
