Zettek called the meeting to order at 8:14 p.m. in the Municipal Building, 901 Wellington Avenue, Elk Grove Village and directed the Village Clerk, Patricia S. Smith to call the roll. Upon the roll being called the following answered PRESENT: Trustees Joseph T. Bosslet, Ronald L. Chernick, Edward R. Hauser, James P. Petri, Michael A. Tosto, Stephen M. Uhlarik. Village Attorney, George Knickerbocker and Village Manager, Charles A. Willis were present at this meeting. (President Zettek noted that the name Cronin was misspelled on page 5 of the July 26, 1983 minutes.) It was moved by Trustee Petri and seconded by Trustee Bosslet that the minutes of the regular meeting of July 26, 1983 be approved as submitted and that the Board dispense with the reading thereof. The motion was voted upon by acclama- tion; whereupon the President declared the motion carried. President Zettek reported attending a Mass Transit Conference (with 4 other suburban mayors) at the University of Illinois, Chicago Circle Center, sponsored by the Mayor of Chicago, Harold Washington. This conference was called to allow input to be given to the RTA problems and House Bill 1805 which has currently been passed by the Senate, but not approved by the House as yet. The Mayor of Chicago is opposed to the Bill as it does not provide the funds he needs. Mayor Washington is also opposed to the labor segment of House Bill 1805, to the multi segment of Board's, and he will not have an opportunity to have direct input to the transition board that will be appointed immediately after the passage of House Bill 1805. The Bill is very important to the suburban area as it will have suburban mayors on the various transportation boards and they will be lobbying for passage of the Bill when the House reconvenes. It was moved by Trustee Petri and seconded by Trustee Chernick that the Board authorize the disbursement of $356,640.50 in payment of invoices as shown on the August 9, 1983 Accounts Payable Warrant.

The Village Manager, stated for the record, that a public hearing was held this evening pursuant to State Statutes on the Budget and Tax Levy Ordinance to be considered by the Village Board at the next meeting of the Board. The hearing was necessitated by the Library increasing its levy some 38% over last years level causing a 6.2% increase in the total levy to be made under the auspices of the Village. Since the increase is in excess of 5%, the hearing was necessary. It was moved by Trustee Chernick and seconded by Trustee Petri that the Board have a first reading of an ordinance authorizing the Levy and Collectin of Taxes for the Corporate and Municipal purposes of the Village of Elk Grove Village for the Fiscal Year beginning May 1, 1983, and ending April 30, 1984.

There was a meeting this morning with Central Dispatch Board of Directors and the Executive Committee of Central Dispatch to review the proposal tendered for a computer aided dispatch improvement. There were a number of questions which need to be resolved and expect those matters to be in hand for the next meeting to be held on Thursday, August 18, 1983.

The Plan Commission will conduct a public hearing on Wednesday, August 24, 1983 on the petition of Centex Homes Midwest, Inc. for small lots and small homes in the vicinity of Plum Grove Road, south of the Natural Gas Pipeline right-of-way. The Village Manager reported the ground water supply level has dropped dramatically in the last few days, to a point where.one_of the wells broke suction, because the water level is below where the pumping gear is located. At this time, there are three other wells now operating which may soon be facing this same difficulty. If this occurs, additional steps will be taken to reduce the consumption of water throughout the Village. Beginning this evening and for the next several days we will be requesting the residents, industries and businesses in the Village to curtail all outside water usage. This has happened in the past and have had good cooperation and, therefore, we expect a high level of compliance with the people who live in the com- munity. Notificaiton will be carried out through the Police, Fire, and Public Works Departments. When this has happened in the past it was due to mechanical failure; however, this time it is due entirely to the water level dropping below pump line. The hot weather we have been experiencing has increased the amount of water being pumped and this has caused a rapid decline. The pumping rate consumption has been at a rate in excess of 7 million gallons per day for the last five days. In connection with this problem we would seek the Board's consideration to authorize the expenditure of an amount not to exceed $30,000.00 for the purpose of dropping our pumping facilities in two or three wells to a point where we are certain the amount of water above that facility is sufficient to avoid breaking suction. The wells will be examined to see which pumps can be placed deeper. The reservoirs, at the present time, are 3/4 or better full, which means we have 8 to 9 million gallons of water on hand, about a one day supply under the present rate of usage. Outdoor restrictions should preserve that level so that should there be an emergency, fire or otherwise we would have a sufficient supply on hand to cope with the situation. Discussion followed between the Board and the Director of Public Works regarding the usage of Well No. 14 and what other alternatives could be taken to relieve the water problem. It was moved by Trustee Chernick and seconded by Trustee Tosto that the Board authorize the expenditure of not more than $30,000.00 to drop the pumps to reach water at the appropriate wells. The President directed the Clerk to call the roll on the motion and upon the roll being called the following answered AYE: Trustees Hauser, Petri, Tosto, Uhlarik, Bosslet, Chernick; NAY: none; ABSENT: none; whereupon the President declared the motion carried. It was moved by Trustee Tosto and seconded by Trustee Petri that the Board direct Staff to study benefits to begin the loop system for Lake Michigan Water from Well No. 14 east to Devon Avenue, the cost to come from Lake Michigan Water escrow account to be recaptured by the developer at a later date. The president directed the Clerk to call the roll on the motion and upon the roll being called the following answered AYE: Trustees Petri, Tosto, Uhlarik, Bosslet, Chernick, Hauser; NAY: none; ABSENT: none; whereupon the President declared the motion carried. - 5 - 8-9-83 The Village Manager requested the Board to authorize the Village Treasurer to sign a contract with the Commonwealth Edison Company for the installation of a street light in the Windemere Subdivision at Blue .Jay Lane and Long Boat Drive. It was moved by Trustee Tosto and seconded by Trustee Petri that the Board authorize the Village Treasurer to sign a standard contract with Commonwealth Edison Company for the installation of one street light_ in the Windemere Subdivision at Blue Jay Lane and Long Boat Drive. The President directed the Clerk to call the roll on the motion and upon the roll being called the fol- lowing answered AYE: Trustees Tosto, Uhlarik, Bosslet, Chernick, Hauser, Petri; NAY: none; ABSENT: none; whereupon the President declared the motion carried. Trustee Tosto asked that the Elk Grove Boulevard drainage ditch be cleaned at this time, as the ditch is now dry. He stated that $10,000.00 has been set aside for this purpose. It was moved by Trustee Chernick and seconded by Trustee Tosto that the meeting be adjourned. The motion was voted upon by acclamation; whereupon the President declared the motion carried and the meeting adjourned at 9:40 p.m. Charles J. Zettek Village President Patricia S.
