Trustee Petri, Chairman of the Cable TV Committee, reported there was a
joint meeting on November 7, 1985 in Hoffman Estates. American Cablesystems
has gone over the 28,000 customer level that they have been looking for with
Elk Grove running at 527,. They have had a 347 decrease in trouble calls and
problems compared to last year at this time. The T.V. Studio at Lively has
been fully equipped except for the lights and they have done work on the
soundproofing. There was a lot of good comments regarding the coverage of
the election results from the other towns. The Committee is making progress
for the telethon in February, 1986.
President Zettek and Trustee Bosslet discussed the resignation of Romy Lopat
as Coordinator of Community Affairs at the Department of Aviation in Chicago
and both felt she was a good sounding board and it was easy to communicate
with her. President Zettek said Ms. Lopat's leaving may be of some
detriment to the Suburban O'Hare Commission.
Trustee Gallitano referred to correspondence that was received from the
Suburban O'Hare Commission indicating that the firm that was hired by SOC,
to represent them in the airport litigation, is now merging with Bell, Boyd
& Lloyd. The firm of Bell, Boyd & Lloyd currently represents the City of
Chicago in litigation brought by various suburban governments against the
City regarding water rates.
Trustee Gallitano stated that he feels that the Board should express its
desire to note some concern as to what is clearly a conflict of interest
case by the firm that is handling SOC's litigation.
Discussion followed with Trustee Hauser voicing his agreement with Trustee
Gallitano and Trustee Petri reiterating the statement from Mr. Karaganis
that the merging firms would maintain a complete separation of personnel
between the conduct of the O'Hare litigation and the water rate litigation.
Trustee Petri also noted that as far along as SOC is with Mr. Karaganis, he
5 - 11-12-85
does not feel we can change firms now as a great deal of money has already
been spent.
Further discussion regarding the legal and ethical status of the situation
and the reaction of the other community members of SOC continued between the
President, Board and the Village Attorney with Trustee Gallitano requesting
that the Board ask for a letter from Bell, Boyd and Lloyd stating the
separation of personnel on the two litigations.
The consensus of the Board was for the President to talk to President Blase
of Niles to get his opinion and this Board can discuss it at the Committee-
of-the-Whole meeting next Tuesday.
Trustee Gallitano said that to solidify and clarify exactly what the issues
are we should get effective consent of all the parties in writing for dual
representation if we should decide to go that way.
The Village Attorney said that some formality of consent, just as a
practical matter, would be in the best interest of the law firm, but that
does not mean that we could not go along with our representation.
It was moved by Trustee Gallitano and seconded by Trustee Hauser that the
President be directed to present the Village's concern over the direct
conflict with the Karaganis form and the firm of Bell, Boyd & Lloyd in the
Chicago litigation and that the request for a Memorandum of Understanding
from the law firm of Bell, Boyd and Lloyd that the litigation matters
that are at issue will be kept separate and distinct and that no personnel
in one litigation will be used in the other litigation. 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,
Hauser; PASS: Trustee Tosto; NAY: Trustee Petri; ABSENT: none; whereupon
the President declared the motion carried.
President Zettek said he would contact Marty Butler, Chairman of the
Suburban O'Hare Commission, and indicate the desires of this Board.
President Zettek informed the Board that a transportation meeting will be
held at Motorola Headquarters in Schaumburg on Thursday, November 21, 1985
at 8:30 a.m. Governor James Thompson and the Secretary of Transportation
will be among the speakers present.
The Village Clerk read a letter from School District 59 requesting a waiver
of the Alarm User License fee for Salt Creek School.
It was moved by Trustee Petri and seconded by Trustee Bosslet that the Board
waive the Alarm User License fee for Salt Creek School. 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,
Hauser, Petri, Tosto; NAY: none; ABSENT: none; whereupon the President
declared the motion carried.
At this time, 9:02 p.m. , the President asked if anyone in the audience
wished to address the Board. There being no response, the meeting continued.
The Assistant Village Manager reminded the Board of a Committee-of-the-
Whole meeting to be held on Tuesday, November 19, 1985 at 7:00 p.m.
It was moved by Trustee Petri and seconded by Trustee Bosslet that the
meeting be adjourned. The motion was voted upon by acclamation; whereupon
