Village Attorney, George Knickerbocker reported having talked to Marcia Maras, of the Cook County Clerk's Office,Tax Extension Department, who has been meeting for the past week with the States Attorney and the County Clerk regarding Library Tax. Ms. Maras will be sending a copy of the State's Attorney's report in which he opinioned that the legislation that was enacted by the State Legislature in 1979 was reviewed by the State's Attorney and would like to give it full force and effect. As a result the State's Attorney has advised the County Clerk that they are authorized to create a boundary within Schaumburg Township to avoid the double taxation. that has existed for a long period of time in that area. The County will issue a tax bill in Schaumburg Township in two respects,: one will go to all Schaumburg Township residents outside the corporate limits of Elk Grove Village and it will say Schaumburg Township with Library; the remaining tax bills will go to Schaumburg Township residents within Elk Grove Village and it will say Schaumburg Township without Library. Therefore, the resident will not receive any bill whatsoever; they will,however, pay their normal levy to the Village of Elk Grove Village at the rates then in existance as levied by the Village pursuant to the budget as submitted to the Village by the Library Board. That was the extent of the opinoin of the basic agreement between the State's Attorney and the County Clerk. As to what - 2 - 2-22-83 will happen thereafter is up to the appropriate entity(in this case the Elk Grove Public Library) to carry on the legislation which is to extend 50% of the monies ordinarily received from that area based on the assessed valuation back to Schaumburg Township. All of the details have not yet been finalized. The change will be noted on the August, 1983 Tax Bills. Trustee Tosto recommended that the Attorney stay with the project until its final conclusion and keep abreast of what is happening. The Village Manager referred to Item A-2, Additional Office Space, under Unfinished Business on the Agenda. The Budget Committee is aware that the Federal Revenue Sharing funds'proposals identify $145,000.000 for Architec- tural Services. The ruling,as yet, to be determined by the Committee and the Board but dollars are provided for in the F.R.S. Budget. The Village Manager referred to Item 6-1, Biesterfield Road, under Unfinished Business on the Agenda. The Plan Commission will conduct a Public Hearing on Wednesday, April 20, 1983 at 8:00 p.m. on the annexation of property at the southeast corner of Meacham and Biesterfield Roads. Trustee Bosslet asked the Village Manager if a reply had been received from Schaumburg School Distrct regarding their conflict with the Elk Grove Park District's use of their buildings. Their consideration having been requested when a waiver of the fee for Alarm License was granted. The Manager stated that no written relpy has been received. President Zettek told the Board that according to the newspapers they were coming to accord and trying to reach an agreement. Trustee Hauser stated that all that is remaining to resolve this problem is the School District's wanting backpayments to be made. The Village Manager reported the following: 1. There has been a proposal to owners at the north end of the Village to acquire some property for the realignment of King and Stanley Streets at Higgins Road. That offer is a result of Land Appraisers looking at the property and the Village Attorney consulting with the appraisers on that offer. 2. This week, February 20 to February 26, 1983, is "National Engineers'Week" and the theme is Turning Ideas into Reality. We wish to pay them honor and respect for their contributions to our civilized world. 3. Friday, April 1, 1983 is the deadline for ordering forms for auto and truck vehicle licenses. We can go beyond that date if we are willing to pay a premium for overtime work associated with the printer's office. The issue of changing the vehicle license fees is one the Budget Committee and Board will be considering well before the first of April. A survey was distributed to the Board regarding fees charges by surrounding communities for vehicle licenses and various types of liquor licenses. 4.

This is a form of continuing cooperation that Bennett and Kahnweiler Associates have shown to the Village. -3- 2-22-83 5. Another letter has been directed to President George Dunne and other Cook County Board Commissioners in anticipation that the County Board will consider the Zoning Board of Appeals recommendation on the Temple property on Devon Avenue in the unincorporated area.
