WILLIS Manager August 10, 1970 State of Illinois Department of Public Works and Buildings Division of Waterways 201 W. Monroe Street Springfield, Illinois 62706 Attn: John G. Guillou RE: Lake Michigan Water Dear Mr. Guillou: Pursuant to our request at your Public Hearing in Wheaton, Illinois on April 24 on the allocation of Lake Michigan Water, we wish to submit the following for your consideration. It is the desire of the Village of Elk Grove Village that a water alloc- ation from Lake Michigan be made directly to the Village of Elk Grove Village, rather than in our behalf to the Tree Towns Water Commission. Based on a water projections study completed this year by Consultants employed by the Village, a supply of water totalling 42.5 cubic feet per second is considered to be necessary for our maximum day requirements in the year 2000 predicated on continued single family development on vacant land in and adjacent to the Village. We do wish, however, to go on record with your Agency to the effect that ore have begun consideration of allowing multiple family planned unit devel- opments in lieu of typical single family developments. Should the Village alter its zoning in such a direction our maximum day requirement in 2000 would be 57.01 cubic feet per second. Accordingly, we hereby request that a direct allocation of Lake Michigan water consisting of not less than 42.5 cubic feet per second but as high as 57.01 cubic feet per second be made to the Village of Elk Grove Village. Thank you for your favorable consideration. Kindly advise us of your decision. Please contact me if you have any questions. Sincerely yours, C.A. Willis Village Manager CAW:kv c.c.

Whereupon the President declared the motion carried. The Village Manager recommended that the Board award a contract to the Meade Electric Company, Inc. in the amount of $90.00 per month for the ' maintenance of the traffic control signals at Arlington Heights Road and Biesterfield Road. It was the consensus of the Board that the Village Manager further explore this item and that it be placed on the January 26, 1971 agenda. President Pahl reported receipt of a letter from the Illinois Pollution Control Board concerning hearings to be held on noise standards for the Chicago Airport proposed by CAP (Campaign Against Pollution) . The hearings are scheduled for 7:00 p.m. on February 11 , 1971 at Resurrection High School , 7500 West Talcott, Chicago, Illinois, and at 10:00 a.m. on February 12, 1971 at the University of Illinois, Chicago Circle Campus. It was the consensus of the Board that we be represented at these hearings. President Pahl indicated that he would contact Mr. Mead C. Killion, 935 Wilshire Avenue, and Mr. Tom Hamilton in this regard. Trustee Keith requested that: 1 . Based on the letter we received from Tec-Search, Inc. , we should review our position with respect to our association with this organization and Mr. Rolf Campbell . 2. Pursuant to a letter received from Mr. G. E.

It was the consensus of the Board that President Pahl direct a letter to Mr. Howard Kaufman concerning his duties as a prosecutor for the Village of Elk Grove Village. It was moved by Trustee Zettek and seconded by Trustee Kenna that the meeting be adjourned.

Schwellenbach Acting Village Clerk APPROVED: l / ,C Ba Jack D. hl President 5 - Reg. 1/12/71 r Reg. 1/12/71 Report by Mr. Clifford Chapman Community Services Board Hot Line Program s The Hot Line was started in September of 1970. It was a spin-off of the Action Now Program. It originally started with seven people. It opened on the 4th of September with fifteen kids involved. Today there are forty kids involved. In order to get on the hot line, a kid has to serve thirty-five (35) hours in training. Training consists of a review of the Juvenile Laws, training from a psychologist, suicides, and contact with staff from other hot lines. In reviewing the old hot line, how to take action with it. One thing that should be understood about the hot line -- all of the kids are given instruction not to give advice -- just to listen and to talk back. Some of the advice that can be given are referral items. Not what a doctor would give. They continue to train even when not on the Hot Line by attending meetings every Sunday. One of the things they use is a book called the Blue Book. It is a guide listing lawyers, V.D. centers, crash pad, places for teens to go, tells about drugs - their type and effect, pregnancy test centers, and doctors. They also add procedures for emergency, legal referral services for juveniles (especially legal laws for Elk Grove Village and curfews) , and also some specifics about suicide. The staff consists of 17 kids, five trainees - 16 to 21 years of age. Twelve of the seventeen kids are the original members. We all agree that not only more staff is needed but more help from adults in the Village. We hope to get some more. Staff ranges in age as follows: 8 - sixteen year olds, 5 - 17 year olds, 2 - 18 year olds, 1 - twenty year old, 1 - twenty year old. (Mr. Chapman then elaborated on the items listed on the attached sheet - LISTENING POST STATISTICS.) He then introduced each of the seven members present at this meeting. Four of the seven kids present reported on the following: Christy - parents calling in, Larry - pregnancy, Tom - problems with boy friend, Judy - V.D. Kids identify by first name only on telephone. Tom Woodard heads training session on Sunday nights. Cost to Village - telephone line only.
