The Committee discussed item g, Installation of Sidewalks in the Residential and Industrial areas, on their Agenda. The Committee discussed the need to provide sidewalks on vacant lots where 75% of the homes were constructed in subdivisions. The Village Engineer reports that some of the surrounding Villages have the same policy Elk Grove has, which is if you have a sidewalk you receive an occupancy permit or sidewalks are in when you accept the subdivision. Trustee Chernick and Trustee Tosto agree that the Village should not change their present policy. in the industrial Park, however, the Village Engineer will make people aware that there is an avenue to waive sidewalk installation (sidewalks that are impossible to put in or sidewalks that are a hardship) by sending them to the Village Board for a waiver. The Village Attorney, with the Board' s approval , would then prepare an agreement which would bind the property owner along with futher property owners to pay for the sidewalk installation when the Village deems the sidewalks should be installed. Trustee Uhlarik stated that when 75% or one block is developed the Village should provide gravel interconnecting homes between vacant lots and homes.

There is a Northwest Conference meeting Wednesday, June 13, 1984. President Zettek will attend. 2. The Village has received word that as a result of changes in the Federal Revenue Sharing formula in our tax base and a number of other things that are forcasted for 1984/85, the Village may fall a little short of actual receipts by approximately $25,000. The Village does not view that as a serious impediment in our budgeting for the current fiscal year. 3. The Metropolitan Sanitary Sewer District has resumed consideration of a plan to increase and to place new fees and charges on builders, developers, and public agencies for various kinds of sanitary sewer work. The Village has expressed its opposition to that charging system as has the Northwest Municipal Conference.

The Village of Wheeling invited Elk Grove Village to join with them in litigation in opposition to legislation and litigation dealing with the use of Police Pension Funds for personal loans for the purchase of private property by Wheeling Police Officers, viewing that effort in Wheeling as something that would have an adverse impact on pension plans throughtout the State and seeking our support to oppose the legislation and partici- pate in the litigation that will occur. The Manager' s recommendation is that Elk Grove Village not par- ticipate in that cost. The Village' s pension plan systems are significantly different to avoid that occurence in our community. T It was the consensus of the Village Board 'to discuss this matter further before any reply is made to the Village of Wheeling. 5• The Village of Northfield requested Elk Grove Village to support its position with regard to the Soil Waste Task Force Report submitted to the Northwest Muncipal Conference.

The Village indicated to the Village of Northfield that Elk Grove would endorse the Northwest Conference Committee' s recommendation. If the matter was not brought forth at the Conference meeting for discussion tomorrow evening, the Village would support and move to allow the immediately adjacent communities, to those sites, to sit down and confer, and to reach a consensus on which of the sites and why one site might be preferred to the other. 6. The Village has requested the Department of Cook County Highways to widen Landmeier Road, from Arlington Heights Road to Higgins Road, under the Federal Aid Urban Systems (FAUS) . As yet no response has been received. The Village Manager recommended to the Board that they convene to an Execu- tive Session on litigation after the Village Board meeting this evening.

If that legislation passes, it will put a cap on the Revenue Bond funding by local communities. The Village Manager requests the Board's concurrence to consider referring applicants to the State, if legislation is passed, when the Village does not have available Industrial Revenue Bond funds. It was moved by Trustee Hauser and seconded by Trustee Bosslet that the Board authorize to establish a policy that anyone who wishes to utilize Industrial Revenue Bonds and the Village has exhausted its ability to provide same, we would inform the applicant that the Village would entertain their getting those monies from another source, namely, the State or some other agency. - 6 - 6-12-84 The President directed the Clerk to call the roll on the motion and upon the roll being called the following answered AYE: Trustees Tosto, Petri , Uhlarik, Bosslet, Chernick, Hauser; NAY: none; ABSENT: none; whereupon the President declared the motion carried.
