In the absence of such space within the Village the Committee then proceeded to secure accommondations for this type of event. Because of the many functions which are being planned for 1976 by Elk Grcve Village and other communities it was necessary that arrangements be made immediately to secure the necessary space. The Ball , sponsored by the Horizon "76" Committee, is being planned with as little cost as possible so that it will attract many people who will be interested in participating in this kind of an affair. It was moved by Trustee Vanderweel and seconded by Trustee Staddler that the Board authorize the disbursement of $20. 00 to the Lancer Steak House, a reimbursable charge to the Geno al Corporate Fund, as a dcppsit for Lhe December 4, 1976 Com- memorative Ball spon,ored by the Horizon "76" Co,umittee. aicTrr-silch-t—i17r� e1- 7-8-75 the Clerk to call the roll on the motion and upon the roll bc•.ing called the following answered AYE: Trustees Chernick, Kenr,,s , Staddler, Tosto, Vanderweel ; NAY: none; ABSENT: Trustee Spees; whereupon the President declared the motion carried.

Trustee Vanderweel questioned the Village Attorney as to whether or riot the Village can strenrathen its solicitors ordinance on the basis of home rule power and consumer protection laws. The Attorney stated that the present solicitor' s ordinance which the Village has on it' s books is the strongest of which he is aware which can be enforced. He said strengthening of the ordinance to deter solicitors would present problems in relation to the constitutional right of freedom of the press and interstate commerce regulations; and the present Village ordinance which provides protection to the private property owner through posting of "no trespass" signs is the strongest means by which the homeowner can be pro- tected in this matter.
