The Clerk was directed to Send a letter and the proposed Alarm Ordinance to Stan Klyber of the Greater O'Hare Association, and to the companies that install alarm systems in the Village informing them of the February 9th meeting which they are welcome to attend and be heard. Trustee Petri stated the Committee feels that it would not be in the best interest of the Village to allow Lotteries/Raffles in the Village at this time and requested this item be removed from the, J.P:Z. Committee Agenda. Trustee Petri also stated the Committee recommends directing the Village Attorney to prepare an ordinance for a variation of the five (50) percent retail sales requirement of the Zoning Ordinance for property located at 1400 E.

A member of the Staff was directed to attend. Trustee Petri stated the Committee will do an additional study on the construction of downsize homes.

Trustee Hauser reported that the Budget Committee is on schedule and they will start deliberations with the various department heads on .Monday, February 15, 1982. President Zettek referred to a letter from Flora Stompor, Chairperson of Saint Julian Eymard Catholic Women, requesting permission for a Las Vegas Night, February 27, 1982. The proper insurance was submitted with the request. It was moved by Trustee Hauser and seconded by Trustee Bosslet that the Board authorize the issuance of a Liquor License, without fee, for serving liquor n at the St. Julian Eymard Catholic Women' s Club "Las Vegas Night" to be held on February 27, 1982. The motion was voted upon by acclamation; whereupon the President declared the motion carried. The President referred to a letter from Walgreen Company requesting permission to have wine andspirit tastings at their Grove Shopping Center store. It was the consensus of the Board that the wine and spirit tasting be permitted as long as there are no public disturbances. The Village Attorney stated he has reviewed the State Statute and finds that funds can be appropriated for charitable organizations as long as they have some benefit to the public. President Zettek stated that it has not been a policy of the Village to give monies to charitable organizations and if we do authorize an expenditure to Shelter, Inc. , we may be asked by other charitable organizations. It would be hard to determine which organization to contribute funds to. It was moved by Trustee Hauser and seconded by Trustee Bosslet that the Board authorize the disbursement of $2,000.00 to Shelter, Inc. from unexpended Federal Revenue Sharing Funds towards their 1982/83 Budget. Discussion followed; whereupon the President directed the Clerk to call the roll on the motion and upon the roll being called the following answered AYE: Trustees Bosslet, Hauser; NAY: Trustees Uhlarik, Chernick, Petri ; ABSENT: Trustee Tosto; whereupon the President declared the motion "not" carried. At this time, 9:00 p.m. , President Zettek asked if anyone present in the audience wished to address the Board. Mr. Sanseverino residing at 1275 Parker Place, questioned the Board as to what reduction of false alarms the Alarm Ordinance will have on the Village. - 3 - 1-26-82 Trustee Petri stated each of the 103 companies average about 22 false alarms. Hopefully, that will be cut in half. A resident referred to a party in Addison who, because of an outside underground water pipe breaking , is responsible for having the problem fixed at his expense. It was determined that the pipe was not burled deep enough underneath the ground. President Zettek stated that through the Building Department Inspectors we would not allow the developers not to put the pipes far enough underground so that the pipes could freeze. Should there be any obstruction to the underground tiles, the homeowner is responsible from his home out to the connection in the street. The Village Manager reported as follows: 1 . We have completed the extensive investigation at the Park Orleans complex stemming from the comments and complaints registered at the last Board meeting. Inspections were made and the conclusion is that the problem incurred at the complex was due to the management of the complex. U. S. Homes has made a major effort to remedy the problems. 2. A recent U. S. Supreme Court decision concerning Municipal- ities and the antitrust laws will raise questions into the legal Statutes, and authority of Municipalities to conduct what has been considered routine and normal business. This particular decision is essence delt with Cable TV and that a Colorado municipality was not exempt from the action of antitrust laws. This decision should not have any impact on the Cable TV franchise we issued, as it is non-exclusive and theoretically wants competition. The Northwest Municipal Conference and their legal resources will examine this question more completely and provide us with information when they completed their examination. 3• We have received from the Cook County Highway Department a proposed letter of agreement outlining the conditions, terms, and provisions for a joint project with the Village for the widening of Biesterfield Road, from Wellington Avenue to Rohlwing Road. We will advise the Board of our Staff analysis of the terms by the end of next week. 4. We have registered a complaint with the City of Chicago regarding the possibility of placing a Solid Waste Transfer Station at 6633 Elmhurst Road. The letter went out Monday. As yet we have received no response. 5. A few years ago there were some outcrys from the Federal and State EPA regarding the Barium Standards for public water supply. The Village and surrounding communities became concerned about those standards because the cost to remove and contain the Barium in the water supply found in some isolated deep wells was expensive and it is felt that the standard developed was too rigid and unsupported by scientific evidence. Congressman Robert McClory took up the case and talked with the U.S. EPA and has succeeded inseeking the proposal to change the standards from 1 to 4.7 parts per million in the Barium Standards. Elk Grove does not have the Barium problem. 6. A Staff recommendation on the 1982/83 Budget will be submitted to the Board by the middle of February. The Village Manager reported that the Advanced Computer Management Service, a professional service contract, is being recommended by the Village Manager and Finance Department. This is the second step in a two-step process. 4 - 1-26-82 The first step was approved by the Board and that was to perform an audit of computer programming and computer delivery service. That study has been completed and the conclusion of the study is that we could do a far more effective and efficient job with the delivery of Computer Services Organization. The Village Manager requests the Board' s concurrence in his recommendation to enter into a contract with Advanced Computer Management Corporation at a cost of $6,640 per month pursuant to a contract proposal which the Village has in its', posession. It was moved by Trustee Chernick and seconded by Trustee Hauser that the Board authorize entering into a contract with Advanced Computer Management Corporation as stated above. 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 , Uhlarik; NAY: none; ABSENT: Trustee Tosto; whereupon the President declared the motion carried. A recommendation to retain C. B. Construction Company to perform emergency repair work at the intersection of Landmeier and Busse Roads because of a watermain break was made. It has not been determined as to where the break is. The Village is considering a two-face contract as follows : 1 . To excavate outside the concrete area of Busse Road. If the repair cannot be made at that location the cost would be $5,450.00 and the line would be capped. 2. If the break is near the area where the excavation oc- curred,, that repair would cost $10,900.00. If the break is under the roadway, it's our recommendation at this point not to pursue that break but to abandon the crossing at that point and consider alternative ways to deal with replacement in the future. The Village Manager recommends awarding a contract to C. B. Construction Company at a cost not to exceed $10,900.00 with the understanding should the break be under the pavement, work would be terminated at the $5,450.00 level of this contract. It was moved by Trustee Chernick and seconded by Trustee Petri that the Board authorize the disbursement not to exceed $10,900.00 to C. B. Construction Company for watermain work as stated above. The President directed the Clerk to call the roll on the motion and upon the roll being called rthe following answered AYE: Trustees Chernick, Hauser, Petri , Uhlarik, Bosslet; NAY: none; ABSENT: Trustee Tosto; where.upon the President declared the motion carried. Trustee Petri and President Zettek commended the Water. and Sewer Department and the Street Department personnel for their efforts in working in the sub-zero weather and keeping the Village streets cleaned from ice and snow. It was moved by Trustee Chernick 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 9:42 p.m. Ilafern Snick Acting Village Clerk Charles J.
