Trustee Petri , Chairman of the Judiciary, Planning and Zoning Committee, stated that the Committee met on Thursday, September 9, 1982 and discussed the Indus- trial Revenue Bonds they have and are awaiting further financial data from the Finance Department. Trustee Petri stated there would be a meeting with the Plan Commission on Wednesday, September 15, 1982 to discuss the Village's requests and conditions that were put on the Gullo rezoning. Trustee Petri questioned the Village Attorney regarding the status of the Paraphernalia Law. The Village Attorney stated that the Bill was still before the Governor. However, the deadline for signing the Bill was the 15th of September; therefore, the information would be available soon. - 2 - 9-14-82 Trustee Petri scheduled a meeting of the Judiciary, Planning and Zoning Committee for Thursday, September 23, 1982 at 7:00 P.M. with the Finance Director to discuss the Industrial Revenue Bonds and also a proposed annexa- tion by General Newmeric.

Trustee Hauser reported on a Cable T.V. meeting of September 2, 1982 whereby they discussed the problem of easement and that of residents filing suit, not wanting Cable T.V. workers to come on their property. Trustee Hauser was given a copy of a proposal that they plan to add to the Plat Act , Chapter 109, Section 3, of the Illinois Municipal Code. A copy will be given to the Village Attorney and the other Cable Group Communities for review. If the proposed plan proves agreeable it will be presented to the legislature for amendment at the next session. Also discussed at the Cable T.V. meeting was Senator Goldwater' s Bill No. 2172 called Cable Telecommunication Act of 1982. There is great concern from all over the country regarding this Bill , as it would grant the Federal Communica- tion Commission exclusive jurisdiction over a majority of cable issues and concerns. It would also require all communities to change existing franchises to comply with this Bill . There is a movement to establish a coalition of "Cities for Cable" looking for monetary commitment to pursue blockage of Bill No. 2172. Trustee Hauser recommends to wait and see what happens in the congress before making such a commitment. Some Illinois Legislators are look- ing to make cable companies a utility company, which would then take away the 5% franchise which comes back to the Village and there would be no Village control over the Cable T.V. companies. Trustee Petri noted the proposed Butterfield Agreement case between the Suburban O'Hare Commission, the City of Chicago, State of Illinois, and the F.A.A. , saying that all items contained in the Agreement have been worked on for at least two years and are based on a court case which started in 1974. This Agreement is a cu'mination of these efforts although it is not complete or ideal. It is, however, a step in the Fight direction. After the Agreement has been signed by the various communities, it will be presented to the Attorney General and the Courts. It was moved by Trustee Petri and seconded by Trustee Bosslet that the Board authorize the President to sign theAgreemeritsettling the Butterfield Agreement case and the Consent Decree. 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. At this time, 9:02 p.m. , President Zettek asked if there any persons in the audience who wished to address the Board. Discussion followed between the Board and Mr. Kalish regarding the raising of taxes and water rates. It was moved by Trustee Hauser and seconded by Trustee Petri to remove from the Consent Agenda under Unfinished Business item "A-1", Well No. 1 Repair, and bring it back from being tabled to the Board for their authorization for payment of $3,814. 13 to Layne-Western for completion of repairs at Well No. 1 . The motion was voted upon by acclamation; whereupon the President declared the motion carried. Trustee Hauser stated that he has talked to the Director of Public Works and Layne-Western and that they are now aware of the fact that the Board wants - 3 - 9- 14-82 to know the cost of the repair work to the Village wells before the work is done, and the cost of the work, if it exceeds the Purchase Order, should be related to the Board at that time.

The Village Manager requested an Executive Session following this meeting. The Village Manager informed the Board that the Directors of the Joint Action Water Agency approved the one year Capitalization Program to fund that project. This will be at Twenty Million Dollars less than previously considered or fore- casted. The Manager explained the various financial arrangements and adjustments under consideration by JAWA. He also stated that, thus far, the project was on schedule and that the few questions left are being worked on by each community contributing to resolve those issues. The amount of water to be taken from the system by each community is one of the questions to be answered. Some cities which found that heavy investments in long term bonds suggest they retain some of their current facilities for a time, will purchase only a nominal amount of water. Those cities have agreed to pay to the other members of JAWA monies, that would other- wise be used for the purchase of water, for the privilege of not taking all of their water requirements for approximately two years. The share cost would then not place a burden on the other communities. This decision was throughly and legally investigated. The financial planners said this was the most prudent course. The Village Manager stated that the Village operations regarding this project are being diligently handled by Staff members. The Village Manager informed the Board of the following meetings: 1 . Tuesday, September 21 , 5:30 p.m. ; Elk Grove Village Night at Harper College. 2.
