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.

R. Ralph Lewers of 1600 Von Braun Trail , Elk Grove Village, asked the Board if anything could be done to relieve a traffic problem at the intersection of Nerge Road and Rohlwing Road. President Zettek requested the Police Chief to check the area and make a recommendation. The President told Mr. Lewers that a letter would be directed to Cook County regarding the traffic signal at that intersection and a copy of the letter will be sent to him. - 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, barring any major problems associated wtih vandalism or insurance, and allow that display to take place in good taste and in good conscience. It was moved by Trustee Chernick and seconded by Trustee Petri that the Board grant the Elk Grove High School Students Against Drunk Driving to display a car on their property at Elk Grove Boulevard and Arlington Heights Road. The motion was voted upon by acclamation; whereupon the President declared the motion carried. The President asked the Board if they wished to act on the Scavenger Contract. The Village Manager briefly reviewed the contract rates. It was moved by Trustee Petri and seconded by Trustee Bosslet that the Board adopt Resolution No. 37-84 entitled, "A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE VILLAGE OF ELK GROVE VILLAGE AND GARDEN CITY DISPOSAL COMPANY FOR SCAVENGER SERVICE IN THE RESIDENTIAL AREA OF THE VILLAGE'. The President directed the Clerk to call the roll on the motion and upon the roll being called the following answered AYE: Trustees Petri , Tosto, Bosslet, Chernick, Hauser; NAY: Trustee Uhlarik; ABSENT: -none; whereupon the President declared the motion carried.
