At this time, 9:30 p.m. , President Pro tem Tosto asked if there were any persons in the audience who wished to address the Board. Mrs. Audrey Proudfit, 1511 White Trail , stated she has a flooding problem at her home. She complained about the time it took to get someone from the Sewer Department to come to her house on Saturday, August 7, 1982. The sanitary sewer backed up into her home and wanted to know if there is a relief valve in the street. She was told, on previous occasions, that there was a valve of some kind that did relieve the problem; however, at this time she was told there was no such valve. Mrs. Proudfit also complained about the John E. Egan Sewerage Treatment Plant being down on Saturday, saying that every time there was any rain the plant seemed to be down.

He also suggested Mrs. Proudfit may have to install a check..valve.on her property if the Village sewers are clear. Trustee Petri stated that the first section of Cable TV is now is operation. Trustee Petri of the O'Hare Expansion Committee reported that at the August 3rd meeting all towns were represented. The vote on the "package" to accept the City of Chicago proposal was 8 to 7 to accept, and two of those voting to accept was done with much reservation. As a result there was another meeting on August 5, 1982. Some agreements and compromises were reached; therefore the Attorneys can put together the new requests that were made and the agreements that the City made after which we will receive a new proposal . No formal agreement has been made as yet; however, it now looks favorable and after the signing, by all the towns, constuction of Phase 1 can begin. Phase 2 and 3 will need further negotiations. Trustee Hauser questioned if the noise abatement problem was discussed. Trustee Petri said that the State and Attorney General 's Office have agreed to pursue the matter in the Legislature to acquire additional funding for noise monitoring, noise abatement, and noise enforcement. If the agreements and compromises are accepted the pending lawsuit will be put into abeyance.
