President Zettek said that Rolling Meadows has an ordinance that allows political parties to put up signs, but the signs must be removed 4 days after the election or they receive a penalty. In advance of putting up thesigns they must post a deposit. The Committee will look into the Rolling Meadows ordinance and discuss the possibility of restricting the types of signs to be displayed and also an amount of a Cash Bond before issuing a permit to post the signs.

Trustee Petri , Chairman of the Cable TV Committee, said there is a meeting of the Warner Group on Thursday, September. 12, 1984 to discuss some program changes which have been proposed. Trustee Bosslet, Chairman of the O'Hare Advisory Committee, said there will be a meeting on Thursday, September 13, 1984 at 10:30 a.m. President Zettek informed Trustee Hauser, Chairman of the Economic Develop- ment Council , that Stan Klyber of the Greator O'Hare Association, said many of those who had attended the seminar at Harper College were interested in serving on the Economic Development Commission and wanted to know when that Commission would be appointed. President Zettek asked Nancy Yiannias, Health Coordinator, about the status of the "cat" house. Mrs. Yiannias said everything was going well and on schedule. The Village Attorney said the situation was coming up in court on Wednesday, September 12, 1984 for a status hearing and as of 2:00 p.m. the entire health hazard had been removed and the building that remains is to be processed through the Building Department for reconstruction. The time will be extended in court of which the Judge has control and concurrently gives control to our Village to oversee the reconstruction of the building, although the main thrust, the health hazard has been eliminated. Other Villages have been looking at this very carefully because it has taken other Villages six to twelve months to try and get this type of problem cleaned up. The next court hearing will probably be in thirty days. At that time the Village will have to determine * if we want to stay involved, as the Building Department will control the remaining reconstruction. The final petition before the court would be for reimbursement of fees, and their attorney has indicated he would like to look at documentation of those figures to see if that could be settled out of court. Presdient Zettek reported that there have been several meetings of the Suburban O'Hare Commission since the last meeting of the Village Board - 4 - 9-11-84 and that he and Trustee Bosslet had attended one in which all sixteen municipalities attended and there was general agreement that the Negotia- tion Committee (Abner Ganet of Elmhurst, Marty Butler of Park Ridge, and Charles Zettek of Elk Grove Village) should continue to negotiate. There have been several meetings and we are not making good progress. - ,.Depending on what happens as a result of the meeting this morning, there could be a decision on the part of SOC to seek remedies in court. It was moved by Trustee Petri and seconded by Trustee Bosslet that the Board waive the first reading rule of an ordinance pertaining to variation to structures in any front, side or rear yard area and the ten 10' foot side yard requirement for property located at 1301 Tonne Road and 1355 Tonne Road, Elk Grove Village.
