Mr. Hofert said that the Industrial Standard Ordinance has not been prepared; the reference made in the paragraph noted by Trustee McGrenera regards a letter to Mr. Hofert from Mr. Salzenstein and forwarded to the Village Board members in which authority is sought to do studies on noise levels for standards for the industrial area.

That he has received from Governor Kerner a request to serve on a fifty (50) member Legislative Urban Area Study Commission, the purpose of which is to study the present 6,452 units of local government in the State of Illinois and to make recommenda- tions that could result in improved service and coordination.

That a meeting has been scheduled for April 30th at 8:00 p.m. at the Grant Wood School between the Village Board and the Park District Commissioners. It is possible that members of the Board of Education of School District 59 also will be present. Trustee Coney questioned the Village Attorney as to what progress is being made regarding the renovation of the property owned by Mr. Luehrina at the corner of Arlington Heights Road and Clearmont Drive. Mr. Hofert stated that the case is continued until May 8th, that considerable progress has been made in the area of safety, that Mr. Luehring has spent a con- siderable amount of money, and that he does not believe that the court will, at this time, order the demolition of the building due to lack of completion. Trustee Coney stressed his concern over the debris which remains on the property since it is a nesting place for rodents. The Village Manager was requested to have the Police Department and the Health Department take necessary steps to see that this debris is cleared from the property. Mr. Charles A. Willis, Village Manager, reported that the inside of the reservoir at Well No. 1 is being painted in accordance with a contract let during the latter part of 1967. At the time the contract was signed, it was not felt that the outside of the tank was in need of paint. However, now that the tank is drained, it is recommended that the outside be painted a light metallic blue by the same contractor at a cost of Two Thousand Two Hundred Forty ($2,240.00) Dollars. Mr. Willis said this is a great amount less than it would cost if the Village should bid out the job and get another contractor to do the work. It was moved by Trustee Zettek and seconded by Trustee McGrenera that the Board authorize the contractor who is painting the inside of the tank at Well No. 1 to also paint the outside a light metallic green at a cost of Two Thousand Two Hundred Forty ($2,240.00) Dollars. Trustee Gibson questioned the above action inasmuch as the State Statutes provide any expenditure in excess of Fifteen Hundred ($1 ,500.00) Dollars must be let out for bid. Attorney Hofert stated that under the circum- stances this work can be considered an addendum to the contract and if not handled in this manner, would cost the Village a considerable greater amount of money. Therefore, by vote of two-thirds members of the Board, such an action, he believes, is valid. The President directed the Clerk to call the roll on the motion and upon the roll being called, the following Trustees answered "AYE" - Chernick, Coney, Gibson, Keith, McGrenera, Zettek; "NAY" - none; "ABSENT" - none. Whereupon the President declared the motion carried. Mr. Willis reported that a letter of protest was directed this day to the DuPage County Zoning Board of Appeals regarding a proposed change in zoning from Residential to Business of property located on the south side of Devon Avenue just east of Arlington Heights Road for the purpose of constructing a Medical Center. Mr. Willis stated that the proposed zoning is contrary to the Comprehensive Plan now under consideration by the Village of Elk Grove Village and is contrary to the boundary and land use agreement between the Village and Itasca. Trustee Zettek requested that the Manager check the Village's program to find out whether or not it calls for one (1) or two (2) sprayings of trees per year. It was moved by Trustee Coney and seconded by Trustee Chernick that the Board authorize the disbursement of $5,567.22 from the Water and Sewer Department Operating Account and $4,956.37 from the General Corporate Account in payment of the invoices as shown on the April 23, 1968 Accounts Payable Warrant.

Edwards of the Fireworks Committee of the Elk Grove Village Lions Club stating that the Lions Club is planning a fireworks display at Lions Park on the Lith of July and they request a permit for the display of the fireworks. Mr. Edwards stated that the Lions Club agrees to the direct supervision of both the Fire and Police Departments and that the proper insurance certificates will be provided to the Village Clerk. It was moved by Trustee McGrenera and seconded by Trustee Zettek that the Board authorize the issuance of a license, without fee, to the Elk Grove Village Lions Club for a fireworks display on July 4; 1968, contingent on all conditions being met by the Lions Club which regulate fireworks as set forth in the Municipal Code of Elk Grove Village.

The Carnival will be held at the Grove Shopping Center and the Parade will follow the same route as in previous years. Mr. Webb, on behalf of the Jaycees, requested necessary permits to conduct the parade, carnival, loud speakers, and to operate the hot dog stand by the Jayceettes. Mr. Webb, Jr. stated that the Jaycees will provide the necessary insurance policies to cover the Village, the Jaycees, and those attending the Carnival.
