doubt. In view of the fact that the cost for that hearing ran well
over $1, 000 and in view of the fact that in past years Walgreen' s has
been given several letters of caution admonishing the fact that thev
had been apprehended or alleged to have sold liquor to a minor and
found found guilty last March and fined $500. 00 , it was the decision
of the Liquor Commission to fine the respondent in this case $500 . 00.
Information has been conveyed to their attorney and the papers are

revenue generation.

are summerized in the Status and Information
Reports , will show the construction activity this
year is approaching a near record level. There is
reason to believe that a similar level of activity

undertake further work in order to provide a
positive drainage system.

traffic warrants as they might apply as to
pedestrian activated crossing signals and traffic
signals on Oakton Street at Evergreen and Wild-
wood. As soon as this information is received
it will be advanced to the Board for consideration.
There are at least two more stages to this project
one being for the Board to reach a conclusion on
the extent of the project and the broad nature of
the project, and the other is that the Village
must retain consulting engineers to provide detailed
design and specification planning services for that
project. That decision should be considered in
early January.
The Village Engineer is fully satisfied with the
services being performed by the present consultant
on that project and has recommended that the Village
retain the same engineering firm for the design phase.
Under the Federal Aid to Urban System Program it
is possible for the Village to make an award to
the professional services contract without securing_
proposals.

Trustee Uhlarik asked the Village Manager of the status of the City of
Chicago raising the water rates to the JAWA participants.
The Manager said there is a proposal submitted by the Mayor of the
City of Chicago that is under debate and discussion by the City
Council.
Trustee Uhlarik said that it was previously stated by the Manager that
the rates would not be increased and wanted to know if any measures
had been taken to inform the City of Chicago of the feelings of the
Village regarding this proposed water rate increase.
The Village Manager denied having made that statement and both he and
the President said that the City has the right to raise or lower the
water rates if they deem it necessary, however, the JAWA contract
provides that if the water rates are changed, all users of Chicago
water must be charged the same rate.
It was moved by Trustee Chernick and seconded by Trustee Bosslet that
the meeting be adjourned. The motion was voted upon by acclamation;
whereupon the President declared the motion carried and the meeting
adjourned at 9: 42. p.m.
