Trustee Petri, Chairman of the Cable Television Committee, informed the Board of a meeting he attended with the Administrative Assistant, Jon Wildenberg on February 3, 1983 in Rolling Meadows. Some of the items discussed were covered in the presentation this evening by Mr. Baxter. However, the main topic was the interconnection of the institutional loop from its main head -end in Rolling Meadows to the main head -end on the Cablenet system. The other communities in the Northwest Municipal Conference are interested in hiring Malarkey Taylor as a consultant to coordinate the interconnect portion of our system. The Village cost of the report would be around $300.00 and though this amount is minimal, Trustee Petri recommended we do not approve the spending of those dollars. The Franchise Agreement is very clear that Warner Amex is responsible for coordinating that activity and provide those hookups. Warner Amex is willing to do this and do have the technical expertise.

There being no response, the meeting continued.. The Village Manager reported the following information to the Board: 1. The Village application for the Step III Grant on the revitalization of sanitary sewer system has been reviewed and considered by the Northeastern Illinois Plan Commission under the Federal A-95 review reguire- ments. A general support statement from the Commission indicates the way is clear for Federal and State approval for this project. That program is being included in the 1983/84 Budget and we are hopeful of receiving 75% of the cost of that project from a Federal Grant. The project cost is approximately 4.2 million dollars and the Village share would be 25%. Once the Grant is approved,bids can be accepted for construction, which has been estimated for completion within one year. 2. The Village has received information from the Northeastern Illinois Planning Commission and the Office of the Treasury that our population according to the Census Bureau has decreased from 28,907 to 28,679 although there has been no notification from the Office of the Census Bureau as yet. 3• Northwest Municipal Conference will hold its monthly meeting tomorrow, Wednesday, February 9, 1983 at the Wheeling Township Hall. The subject under discussion will be Economic Development Incentives, Job Training Partnership Act and how that Act can be used in the area and also the making of small business loans through one of the Federal Programs. The speaker will be a rep- resentative from the Illinois Department of Commerce and Community Affairs. 4. The Insurance Service office periodically appears and makes assessments of the Village Fire Protection Activities. The Village previously had a Class 115" rate and after the last assessment the rating was im- proved to a Class "3". The Manager and Captain Menas of the Elk Grove Fire Department explained the various ways at which these ratings are determined. The effective day of this rating will be in the Spring - 4 - 2-8-83 Village Newsletter in order for the residents and the commercial and industrial properties to check with their insurance companies for any reduction in premium for which they may be entitled. The Greater O'Hare Association of Industry and Com- merce will also be notified. 5• There will be included in the Water and Sewer Budget a sum of approximately $25,000 for the relocation of the sewer line along Meacham Road, due to the widening of this road. The Cook County Highway Permit places this responsibility on the Village. 6. The Building Department and the Engineering Depart- ment have been into and through the Circle Bay Subdivision matter which was brought up by residents at the last Board meeting and report that the developer has agreed to perform regrading to bring the elevation to a point to prevent overflow water from the pond reaching private property.

Occupancy permits will be issued to the property owners when this work is completed. 7. Additional budget information will be forthcoming to the Board on Friday, February 11, 1983• Included will be a recommendation for the Board's consider- ation as to increases in fees and charges for various licenses to meet a March 1, 1983 deadline for ordering new applications.

Additional information to be given to the Board for their discussion and recommenda- tion.
