Pahl called the meeting to order at 8: 10 p.m. in the Municipal Building in said Village. The Chief of Police, Harry P. Jenkins, opened the meeting with a prayer. Upon tKe roll being called by the Village Clerk, Eleanor G. Turner, the following Trustees answered "PRESENT" - Ronald L. Chernick, George C. Coney, Eugene V. Keith, Richard A. McGrenera, Andrew T. Ullmann, Charles J. Zettek; "ABSENT" - none. The Village Attorney, Edward C. Hofert, was present at this meeting. The Village Manager, Charles A. Willis, was absent from this meeting. It was moved by Trustee Zettek and seconded by Trustee Coney that the minutes of the regular meeting of May 6, 1969 be approved as submitted and that the Board dispense with the reading thereof. The motion was voted upon by acclamation, whereupon the President declared the motion carried. President Pahl stated that he has spent a great deal of time in Spring- field for the past two or three weeks attending hearings, and he then gave a report on some of the bills pending before the General Assembly which are of interest to municipalities. With the permission of the Board, the President deviated from the agenda and recognized Mr. Joseph Stob, of Monarch Disposal Company, who spoke to the Board regarding certain scavenger operations in the Village which are unlicensed. The complaint registered by the scavengers licensed in the Village is that companies in the Industrial Park have contracted /(\ with firms that pick up industrial waste and these firms, while picking up the industrial waste, also pick up the garbage or refuse from that plant. It is on this point that the licensed scavengers object. They feel that this is an infringement on their privileges as licensed scavengers. Mr. Kenny Long, of Barrington Trucking, cited two instances wherein he had observed garbage or refuse being picked up by industrial waste contractors. Former Trustee, James R. Gibson, representing the Centex Industrial Park Association, was present in the audience and stated that when the "scavenger" ordinance was passed in 1961 the intent was to license firms that pick up unusable refuse, and this ordinance was not meant to include companies picking up materials having an intrinsic value or resale value. Mr. Gibson said that he felt that part of the problem centered on the definition of a scavenger. Attorney Hofert stated that he was not sure at this time whether or not the Village is given enabling legislation to license the companies who pick up the industrial waste. Following further discussion, it was moved by Trustee Chernick and seconded by Trustee McGrenera that the Board direct the Village Attorney to rewrite the present scavenger ordinance. The motion was voted upon by acclamation, whereupon the President declared the motion carried. The Board discussed the applications for scavenger licenses presently pending, those being the five (5) licensed in past years and the interest of the Frank F. Kucera Company of Cicero, Illinois in obtaining a license. It was moved by Trustee Zettek and seconded by Trustee Coney that the Board approve and grant scavenger licenses to the following five (5) companies: Arc Disposal Company, Barrington Trucking Company, Roy Strom Refuse Removal Company, and Van der Molen Disposal Company, to operate in the industrial and commercially zoned areas of the Village and Monarch Disposal Company to operate in the residential , commercial and industrial areasof Elk Grove Village.

Mr. Clementi had obtained a })` price quotation from C & B Construction Company for the relocation of the twenty-four (24' ) inch sewer discharge main at this point and recommended that alternate No. 1 in the price quotation be accepted by the Board. It was moved by Trustee McGrenera and seconded by Trustee Keith that the Board authorize installation by C & B Construction Company of five hundred (5001 ) feet of sanitary sewer force main in Love Street as a replacement for defective sections of the existing line at a total price not to exceed Nine Thousand ($9,000.00) Dollars.

The Board considered a report and recommendation from Mr. Clementi regarding installing an electric rust-proofing system in the sewerage treatment plant south of Devon Avenue. This was referred to the Village Attorney for review, keeping in mind the current agreement between the Village and the developers of the Devon-O'Hare Industrial Park. The President asked the Attorney to have a report next week. Trustee Coney reported that the plans and specifications for the control board for Well No. 6 (Greenleaf Avenue and Route 83) call for a five hundred (500) horsepower motor. The present Commonwealth Edison line does not supply sufficient voltage to start this motor and in order to upgrade the source of power, there would be an initial cost of Two Thousand ($2,000.00) Dollars plus Seven Hundred Twenty ($720.00) Dollars additional electrical energy charge per year from date of installation. The cost of a reduced voltage starter is Three Thousand Eight Hundred Forty-nine ($3,849.00) Dollars. Trustee Coney stated that it is felt that it would be more economical to replace the voltage starter than to increase the source of power, whereupon it was moved by Trustee Keith and seconded by Trustee McGrenera that the Board authorize an expenditure not to exceed Three Thousand Eight Hundred Forty-nine ($3,849.00) Dollars 2 - Reg. 5/20/69 (as revised) to replace the motor starter at Well No. 6 with a reduced voltage starter.
