Trustee Tosto, Chairman of the Capital Improvements Committee, informed the
Board of the Public Information Meeting, regarding the Biesterfield Road
Improvements, held on April 30, 1984. The meeting was attended by approxi-
mately ten resident' s and a presentation was given by Midwest Consulting
Engineers. The issues raised by the resident' s were as follows:
1 . Additional stop signs should be installed
to slow down the traffic. _
2. Speeding along that portion-of Biesterfield
Road.
3• That portion of the road will be opened to
more traffic.
The questions were taken under consideration and it was decided that the
reported speeding conditions should be enforced by the Police Department.
The report prepared by the consulting engineers states that due to the stop
sign at Link School and the traffic signal at Meacham Road, added traffic
is antici.pated.
Midwest Consulting Engineers will now make a report from that hearing and
forward it, with the final Preliminary Design Report, to the Illinois Department
of Transportation to obtain design approval and funding for the detailed design.
Trustee Petri , Chairman of the Judiciary, Planning and Zoning Committee, said
the Committee met on April 25, 1984 to discuss the Soil Erosion and Sedimenta-
tion Control Ordinance. The Village Engineer and some developers were present
and made some changes to the proposed ordinance which were agreed upon by
the developers and enforceable by the Village Engineer; therefore, the
Committee recommends the passage of that ordinance. There is also the stipula-
tion that this would not be made retroactive; however, the engineer would have
the ability to go back to anyone who might have a specific problem and cause
that to be corrected.

Trustee Petri , Chairman of the Cable Television Committee, reported the
Warner Group held their first meeting in Elk Grove Village on May 3, 1984.
Three representatives from Warner Amex attended that meeting and discussed
the company' s status as to where they are in maintaining the cable system
in the five communities. Again they stated that the company is looking to
expand their horizons in this area by buying out additional cable companies
or in selling their own. The Warner Amex Company was cautioned that per the
agreement they need permission before they can sell and the company that
would buy them would have to meet the existing standards and comply with the
Enabling Ordinance. The representatives said they would like to stay in this
area and are making plans along that line.
A program coordinator has been hired and they will be getting into more local
access programm.ing. Warner Amex has cleaned up the backlog of people on their
list to get checked out in their studio as to operating the cameras and
directing the activities.
Trustee Petri passed out a sample resolution which was passed by the City of
Rolling Meadows encouraging Warner to continue doing business in this area.
The Cable Group recommends that the Village of Elk Grove also pass such an
ordinance as did the other towns.

- 7 - 5-8-84
The Village Manager reported on the following:
1 . The Department of Commerce, Bureau of Census , has
revised the Elk Grove Village population estimate
figure to 29,572 as of July 1 , 1983. This is an
increase of 3. 1' from the 1980 firgue of 28,679.
2. The regular monthly meeting of the Northwest
Municipal Conference will be in Mount Prospect on
May 9, 1984 at 7:30 p.m. Recommended garbage
disposal sites will be discussed at that meeting.
3• The scheduled public hearing on the Industrial
Drainage Ditches for May 15, 1984 should be
rescheduled. The Village is still waiting for
information from the Association of Industry and
Commerce. The Manager recommended the hearing
be rescheduled for Tuesday, July 10, 1984 at
7:00 p.m. and directed the Village Clerk to
notify the news media.
It was moved by Trustee Tosto and seconded by
Trustee Petri to reschedule the public hearing
for the Industrial Ditch Project from May 15,
1984 at 7:00 p.m. to Tuesday, July 10, 1984 at
7:00 p.m. The motion was voted upon by acclama-
tion; whereupon the President declared the motion
carried.
4. A change in the response pattern for "trouble
alarms"; those automatic signals that are trans-
mitted over telephone lines to Central Dispatch.
Those events occur because of electrical power
failures or faulty devises in the warning system
or interuption in the telephone line between the
building being served and the Central Dispatch
System.
The Fire Chiefs of the four communities have
examined that activity and concluded that there
is no meed for fire units to respond to those
calls. The Fire Chief recommends that the
Village concur and join the program with the
other departments. The holders of the alarm
systems would be appropriately notified.
The experience over the last four years indicates
that Elk Grove has had about 30 of those calls per
month, 98% of which could be not answered with
apparatus and manpower. None of those calls
resulted in any type of fire problem or any threat
to the life safety of the occupants of the buildings.
The commercial alarm companies never responded to
those calls except to call the owner of the property
and inform them to consult with the alarm company
the following day to remedy the trouble alarm. These
alarms are quite distinguishable from fire and
water flow alarms and no problem is foreseen
in not responding to those trouble calls.
If there are no objections, the Manager wi11 authorize
the Fire Chief to proceed to participate in that
progrdiri with the other communities.
5• The public hearing that has been continued on several
occasions for Officer Lawrence Diamond was originally
scheduled for this evening. That hearing, by notice
- 8 - 5-8-84
has been cancelled by the Fire and Police Commission
and the hearing is now scheduled for Monday, May 14,
1984 at 8:00 p.m.
6. The City of Wood Dale has responded to all of the
requests, concerns , and suggestions of the Village
regarding the Office Park Development located on
the south side of Devon Avenue at the south end
of Ridge Avenue extended. All of their responses
indicate an awareness of the concerns of the Village
and compliance with the requests of the Village. No
further action is seen by the Village except to
acknowledge the cooperative effort by the City of
Wood Dale in honoring the Village requests which
in total are protective of Elk Grove property
owners and Elk Grove traffic. One on the things
to be provided for at their expense is a traffic
signal at the intersection of Ridge and Devon
Avenues.
7. Constructio22 tivit continues to mount. As of
April , 19 , the construction cost values have
gone up 35% and the Building Permit fees have
gone up 38% and the number of permits issued have
gone up 23%. Eight-one permits for single family
homes were issued this year in April versus six-
teen permits issued a year ago. From where the
Village stands, the economy is still showing signs
of vibrant activity.
8. A letter was sent to Birks Transportation Company
requesting an answer to the questions posed in
previous correspondence which the company has
failed to answer.
9. The Cook County Highway Department has taken the
development of Nerge Road from Meacham Road to
Plum Grove Road and on to Rosel.je_ Road. The
County will work out an arrangement with the
Village of Roselle where the VLllage will contri-
bute certain monies to the project. Cook County
will handle all of the plans and specifications
and construction supervision. The section of
road within Elk Grove Village will also be done,
but the Village of Elk Grove will not have to
contribute any local monies for that improvement.
10. The Village has received the final plans for the
traffic signal and intersection modification at
Landmeier Road and Lively Boulevard from the
County. The County is expecting to take bids on
May 16, 1984 for that project. We have entered
into an agreement with the County where the Village
will pay 50% of the cost.
11 . At the last Village Board meeting, the Board
authorized the Staff to enter into a purchase ar-
rangement to acquire a Gradall piece of equipment
for public works activity. She unit has been
purchased at the cost of $63,000, which included
one additional excavating bucket valued at $1 ,800,
all within the $63,000 price.
Tom Cech, Director of Public Works, has prepared
an analysis of the cost effectiveness of that
purchase versus lease versus present worth. All
of the numbers come out very much in our favor and
over the next five to eight years this piece of
- 9 - 5-8-84
.r
equipment will save the Village a substaintial
sum of money.
Trustee Tosto has wanted this piece of equipment
for the Village for a long time and the President
said his persistance should be recognized.
The Village Manager informed the Board of a request from the "Students
Against Driving Drunk" (SADD) at the Elk Grove High School for permission
to place a damaged vehicle near the marquee of the High School to
emphasize the risk associated with drunk driving. All of the important
elements would be disconnected from the car, the gas tank drained and
the battery removed. The automobile was very badly damaged in a drunk
driving incident.
The Police Department tends to agree with the request. We do not know,
at this time, exactly what period of time they wish to display this vehicle.
The Manager recommended the Board authorize cooperation with the High School,
