Copies were distributed of a proposed ordinance providing for the recapture of funds expended by the Village for extension of water utilities, an ordinance providing for the recapture of funds expended by the Village for the extention of sewer facilities and a resolution authorizing the Swiglo Annexation Agreement. Relating to property east of the VFW property on Devon Avenue) . Ordinance No. b78adoptedby the President and Trustees on August 14, 1973 - 4 - 10-28-75 concerned the recapture of funds expended by the Village for the extension of water and sewer facilities as a result of the annexation of the VFW property. This ordinance and its formula for the pro-rata share of the recapture of funds for the extension of these utilities was based upon a different route for the extension of these utilities than is now presently proposed, hence the need to formally change the recapture arrangement for the extension of the utilities. The present proposal for the extension of these utilities to accomodate the Swiglo annexation property would follow a route for the wate line from the northwest corner of the VFW property to Devon Avenue and thence eastwardly; the sewer line would go from the northwest corner of the VFW property along the north property line paralleling the Commonwealth Edison right-of-way and across to the Swigio property necessitating a 20 foot easement across the lot between the VFW property and the Swiglo property which is owned by Michael and Mrytle Bistry. In order to accomplish this extension it will be necessary for the petitioner, Robert Swiglo, to acquire easement rights and arrangements across the Bistry property.

The Village Manager gave a status report of various items pending in his office and answered questions related thereto. Trustee Kenna called attention to asphalt paving of sidewalks in Section 21 near Link School and requested the Village Manger to investigate whether or not Centex has misunderstood the Village's position. Trustee Tosto suggested that the Board communicate with the Cook County Highway Department and request that the work along Nerge Road and Route 53 be completed prior to winter due to heavy traffic at that location. Trustee Chernick called a meeting on the Capital Improvements Committee following this meeting and requested the attendance of Mr. Jack Andrews and Mr. James Clementi . It was moved by Trustee Staddler and seconded by Trustee Vanderweel that the meeting be adjourned. The motion was voted upon by acclamation; whereupon the President declared the motion carried and the meeting adjourned at 10:45 p.m. Eleanor G. Turner' Village Clerk Charles J.
