'< Attorney Hofert stated that he is in the process of reviewing the
proposed amendments to the Cook County Zoning Ordinance which will be
heard on June 10, 1970 and that they appear to be technical changes
that do not affect the Village. 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. Willis, reported that a meeting was held
today in the State Fire Marshall ' s Office, a Division of the State Law
Enforcement Agency, on fire protection for the Forest View Homeowners
area. 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.
Whereupon the President declared the motion carried.

A budget meeting was scheduled for the Board as a Committee-of-the-Whole
for 7: 00 p.m. on June 12, 1970 in the Conference Room.
A brief discussion followed concerning the recently enacted legislation,
Senate Bill 1435, regarding State income tax apportionment. Complete
details on the text of the Bill will be obtained.
Mr. Willis reported that the Village picnic is scheduled for August 2,
1970 in Grove No. 10 of the Busse Woods Forest Preserve and questioned
the Board concerning invitations to other groups. It was the consensus
that the Board members of the Elk Grove Village Library, Elk Grove Park
District, and School District 59 be invited and that the Manager explore
the possibility of having the Park District combine their picnic with
ours.
It was moved by Trustee Chernick and seconded by Trustee McGrenera that
the meeting be adjourned. The motion was voted upon by acclamation;
whereupon the President declared the motion carried and the meeting
adjourned at 10:30 p.m.
