The Village Manager stated that by Court Order the company is to keep the Village informed as to when the after burners are out of service for any reason and when they are back in service. He said the Illinois Environ- mental Protection Agency and the County Environmental Protection Agency are currently engaged in efforts with Chicago Magnet Wire to improve their operations both externally and internally under the employee health standards and the environmental standards .that are embodied in the Village Ordinance and State Statutes. The Village has been monitoring that activity with both agencies and do not feel the Village should undertake any efforts to intercede at this time.

The Village Attorney stated that the ordinance amending the Hampton Farms Special Use Permit was not ready for tonight's meeting, but would be ready for the next meeting of the Village Board. However, Mr. Luciani of Centex was in the audience and would probably want temporary foundation permits. Mr. Joseph Luciani, Vice President of Centex Homes Midwest, Inc., requested the Board to allow the Building Department to issue permits for foundation procedures for Sites 16 and 17 located at Gibson Drive and Vermont Drive. It was moved by Trustee Tosto and seconded by Trustee Petri that the Board authorize the Building Department to issue permits for the construction of foundations at Sites 16 and 17 in the Hampton Farms Subdivision. The President directed the Clerk to call the roll on the motion and upon the roll being called the following answered AYE: Trustees Bosslet, Chernick, Hauser, Petri, Tosto, Uhlarik; NAY: none; ABSENT: none; whereupon the President declared the motion carried. The Village Manager thanked the members of the Board for going through the Health Screening and Health Hazard appraisal program being sponsored by the Village in cooperation with the Alexian Brothers Medical Center. He said the employees would start going through the program on Monday, November 28, 1983. The first phase of the program would be mandatory and the second phase optional. The Village Manager reported as follows: The meeting scheduled for earlier this evening to discuss the annexation of one lot in Branigar Subdivision was cancelled and therefore suggested a meeting after the Board meeting tonight. (No objections were offered). - 4 - 11-22-83 2. Centex Corporation is moving ahead on several new housing developments in the Village. One of these projects is along University Drive and they will be making a temporary connection to Plum Grove Road for the purpose of receiving materials and supplies and work crew access to the construction area. The roadway will be barricaded except for those times when it will be used by the construction personnel. A permanent opening to Plum Grove Road will not be happening until the area is more fully developed. 3• There will be a Public Hearing at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday, December 13, 1983 on the proposed requested Taxi Cab rate increases. 4. The Finance Department requested a Public Hearing for 7:30, Tuesday, December 13, 1983 regarding Industrial Revenue Bonds for LaQuinta Motor Inns. There is also scheduled for 7:45 p•m., Tuesday, December 13, 1983 a hearing regarding Industrial Revenue Bonds for the R. J. Frisby Manufacturing Company. 5• The developer is presently doing repair work to Biesterfield Road as it moves immediately west of Rohlwing Road through the Parkview Heights Sub- division area. That is part of the developer's responsibility under the Subdivision regulations. The Village Engineer has recommended that the Village open that segment of Biesterfield Road by removing the barricades on the west side of the subdivision for the following reasons: a. The developer is responsible for making repairs to the roadway and the Village wants to be sure the repairs that have been identified at this point are only those that need to be made and that use of that road does not produce additional failures that we would expect the developer to repair. b. It will provide the Village an opportunity to secure a range of accurate information as to the traffic volumes running through that area which are essential to final planning work for the FAUS Project of the Biesterfield Road ex- tension to Meacham Road. That traffic volume information is necessary if the Village is to convince the State and/or the County that signals are necessary at Rohlwing and Biester- field Roads. c. To eliminate the traffic from using White Trail Road as a cut -through to Meacham and Rohlwing Roads. If there are no objections we will request the removal of those barricades and monitor the traffic activities. (No objections were offered.) 6. It was necessary for the Village to conduct a Public Hearing on its Tax Levy Ordinance because our Levy Ordinance was going to be greater than 52, above the previous levy. We have just received notice from the - 5 - 11-22-83 Metropolitan Sanitary Sewer District that they too will go through a Public Hearing because their Tax Levy is going to go up 6%, representing a 7.3 Million Dollar increase from the previous year. Copies of their budget are available in their office downtown on 100 E. Erie Street. 7. The Village has received a copy of the Illinois Department of Transportation report on the prelim- inary feasibility of the Elgin O'Hare Corridor Im- provement and the improvement to Route 53. It is over 100 pages long and contains a host of technical and financial feasibility data. The bottom line is that none of the options are viable because of the cost and the absence of money to meet those costs. The State does point out that they will continue their examinations of those corridors in search of possibilities for funding one or both through some means of highbred financing. The document is available if anyone wishes to see it. 8. There are two Board meetings scheduled for December, the 13th and the 27th; usually the Board cancels the meeting between Christmas and New Year's. If it is the desire of the Board to do the same thing this year we ought to make note of that tonight so the planning of the warrant and the agenda plus other items that have to come before the Board can be moved up to the meeting of December 13, 1983. It was moved by Trustee Bosslet and seconded by Trustee Hauser that the Board cancel the Board meeting scheduled for December 27, 1983 and authorize the Village Manager and the Village Clerk to take the necessary steps to advertise to the public. The President directed the Clerk to tail the roll on the motion and upon the roll being called the following answered AYE: Trustees Chernick, Hauser, Petri, Tosto, Uhlarik, Bosslet; NAY: none; ABSENT: none; whereupon the President declared the motion carried. Trustee Tosto questioned the. -installation of sidewalks in the Windemere Sub- division and asked if there was not something in the Subdivision Control Ordinance which required all sidewalks installed after 50% of the homes were built. The Village Engineer said that the ordinance does not address the subject per percentage of homes,only that as a home is built the sidewalk is installed. There was discussion as to the feasibility of installation before construc- tion of homes. Trustee Tosto requested this item be placed on the Capital Improvements Committee Agenda. It was moved by Trustee Bosslet and seconded by Trustee Petri that the meeting be adjourned. The motion was voted upon by acclamation; whereupon the President declared the motion carried and the meeting adjourned at 9:30 p.m. Patricia S. Smith Village Cler': Charles J.
