He stated that upon his completion of the review of the proposed amendments, a letter will be sent to the Board before the next regular meeting. Trustee Ullmann suggested that the Board consider adopting the Air Pollution Ordinance which has been prepared and is ready for action and that this be accomplished immediately rather than waiting for the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance under study by the Plan Commission. Attorney Hofert stated that such action would require a public hearing and he said that he would discuss with the Plan Commission the status of the ordinance and whether or not the Plan Commission can handle an additional hearing at this time. The Village Manager, Charles A.

Present were representatives of the Forest View Homeowners Association, a representative of the Forest View Homeowners Fire Protection District, two (2) officers from the State Fire Marshall ' s Office, President Pahl , Trustee McGrenera, Attorney Hofert, Fire Chief Hulett, Finance Director Coney, and the Village Manager. Mr. Willis stated that the Village' s position for terminating service on June 15, 1970 was presented by Mr. Pahl , Mr. McGrenera, and Mr. Hofert and it was pointed out that the purpose of the proposed contract, which has not been signed by the Forest View Homeowners Association, was to bring about an equality of payment for fire protection related to present payments by Village residents. The contract terms and conditions of the fire service as proposed were discussed and the present water supply was also discussed. The Forest View Homeowners' representative stated that they have considered purchasing used equip- ment to start their own Fire Department. The State Fire Marshall was concerned with the possible lack of fire service and placed responsibility - 2 - Reg. 6/2/70 for providing fire protection with the officers of the Fire Protection District and he requested that the Forest View representatives request an extension of thirty days of the Village' s deadline for fire service. Such a request was received by the Village dated June 2, 1970 from Mr. Donald Pollitz, Secretary of the Forest View Fire Protection District, as follows: "We respectfully request that the Village Trustees extend the present fire protection termination date of June 15, 1970 to July 15, 1970. Based upon new information furnished us at the meeting at the State Fire Marshall ' s Office today, we need this extra time for our Trustees to secure other fire protection." It was moved by Trustee Zettek and seconded by Trustee Chernick that the Board authorize an extension of fire protection service to the Forest View Homeowners (Branigar Estates) to July 15, 1970. Discussion followed concerning the amounts now due which are $1 ,000.00 for contracted services and $3,666.00 for a one-third payment on the $11 ,000.00 per year contract which has not been signed. Attorney Hofert stated that there can be no question as to the amount of $1 ,000.00 being owed since the Forest View Homeowners Association did in fact sign such a contract for that service. The Board stated that the letter to the Association reporting the above action of the Village Board should include invoices for amounts now due; however, the payment of these invoices is not to be a condition of extended service to July 15, 1970, The President directed the Clerk to call the roll on the motion and upon the roll being called, the following answered AYE: Trustees Chernick, Keith, McGrenera, O' Brien, Ullmann, Zettek; NAY: none; ABSENT: none.
