E. Organization at a cost not to exceed $1 ,000.00 for reasons which were detailed in a letter to the Village President from that Organization reading in part as follows: "There are a few hundred communities in the United States with a serious jet noise problem. N.O. I .S.E. is an organization of those communities with a budget large enough to finance a major lobbying effort on the national level for noise abatement legis- lation. As you know, such an effort requires money. However, since the objectives are limited we feel they can be met in a rather short period of time. For this reason the membership dues, admittedly high, should not be levied more than twice. The Associate Membership category was established to enable private groups or organizations to join the fight for silence in a more limited capacity." The motion failed for lack of a second.

The Ordinance establishing the new truck vehicle license fee schedule was not ready and will be on the agenda at the next meeting. Trustee McGrenera, Chairman of the Judiciary Committee, reported that they recommend the rezoning for a 7-11 Store at the southwest corner of Landmeier and Tonne Roads be approved. A brief discussion followed concerning the traffic pattern and the two openings which will be on Landmeier Road and two on Tonne Road. The Village Manager, Charles A. Willis , stated that the Board might wish to consider requesting Centex Corporation to install a public sidewalk along the north side of Section 1 east to connect the eastern boundary of that subdivision to the sidewalk by the Municipal Building for pedestrian safety. Objections to this rezoning were voiced by Trustees Chernick and Zettek. Trustee McGrenera said that he will consult with Barton, Ashman Associates, Traffic Consultants, as to their opinion. Trustee McGrenera also asked Chief Jenkins to make a recommendation.

The President asked that the Board await the recommendation of the Judiciary Committee before taking action. The Clerk also reported receipt of a Plat of Subdivision of Kidback' s Subdivision in Devon-O' Hare Industrial Park which has been forwarded to the Plan Commission, the Judiciary Committee, and the Village Engineer. The Clerk read a letter dated July 24, 1970 from Mr. James L. Carroll requesting that the pre-annexation agreement relative to the Wild Oak Subdivision be amended by extending (for 90 days) the period of time in which the owner is to deliver $30,000.00 to the Village. Mr. Carroll stated in his letter that he is working with an architect to preserve the wooded area of the land as a natural park area. It was moved by Trustee Keith and seconded by Trustee McGrenera that the Board direct the Village Attorney to draft a resolution incorporating the request for a ninety (90) day extension on the time limit regarding - 3 - Reg. 7/28/70 Wild Oak Subdivision. The motion was voted upon by acclamation, whereupon the President declared the motion carried. The Clerk read a proposed ordinance presented by Mr. Louis A. Archbold dated July 28, 1970 as follows: That upon arrival of perishable and coded foods at the store in Elk Grove Village, it will be the responsi- bility of the management of the store to decipher the code and translate it into a calendar date for the life of the product which will be shown along side the code on the face of the product. This was referred to the Village Attorney for his opinion as to whether or not this can be done by the Village Board. A first reading was held on a proposed ordinance amending the subdivision control portion of the Municipal Code relating to water supply. Mr. Willis reported that it is his recommendation that the Village Board approve the Brickvale resubdivision subject to the approval of the Plan Commission in anticipation that they will be ready to act on it at their meeting this week. Mr. Willis stated that the delay in the approval of this plat has been caused by the concern of the Plan Commission regarding the adequacy of the septic systems in this ten (10) acre subdivision.

It was the consensus of the members of the Board that they await the Plan Commission' s report before taking action.
