Discussion followed concerning the proposed agreement which had been distributed to the members of the Board. During the testimony Mr. Szatkowski stated that, when he agreed to extend the water and sewer mains to his property at this time, he was not aware that the cost of extending the mains would be approximately $20,000.00.

At the conclusion of the discussion, the President and Trustees requested that the Public Works Director and the Village Attorney revise the proposed agreement to require a 63,000.00 deposit by Mr. Szatkowski, which money will be set up in an escrow account by the Village with instructions to the Village Treasurer that the Money be invested in United States Treasury bills, said money to be used to pay the propor- tionate cost of extending water mains to Mr. Szatkowski's property. If the mains are not extended within five (5) years, the money, plus interest, is to be refunded to Mr. Szatkowski. If during the five (5) year period, water mains are extended and there are excess monies in this escrow fund, they will be refunded to Mr. Szatkowski.

Zettek; "ABSENT" - Ronald L. Chernick, James R. Gibson. Village Attorney Edward C. Hofert was present at this meeting. 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 public hearing conducted July 23, 1968 at 7:00 p.m. 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. The following corrections were made to the minutes of the regular meeting of August 6, 1968: . 1 .

Page 6, paragraph 3, lines 3 and 4 should read, as follows: "employees in Pay Range 30 or below who work beyond their normal work week; all employees who are in Pay Range 31 or higher"; 4. Page 6, paragraph 9, lines 5 and 7 should read "Pay Range" instead of "pay rate". It was moved by Trustee Zettek and seconded by Trustee McGrenera that the minutes of the regular meeting of August 6, 1968 be approved as corrected 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 noted that copies have been distributed of a report prepared by Tom Hamilton, of the Aviation Committee, on a meeting he attended at Schiller Park on August 6, 1968 regarding O'Hare Airport noise.

Whereupon the President declared the motion carried. Trustee Gibson arrived at 8:30 p.m. Regarding the Fair Housing Ordinance, Attorney Hofert made note of the definition of the word "owner" in the proposed ordinance' and stated that the word "owner" is otherwise defined in the advertising section of the ordinance. As to the proposed One Hundred ($100.00) Dollar deposit, Mr. Hofert said that in other ordinances such deposits are - 1 - Reg. 8/13/68 not required of a complainant who calls attention to a violation of an ordinance. In the case of zoning, a change is being sought; therefore, it is proper to charge for costs involved in a hearing, for such a change. It was moved by Trustee Gibson and seconded by Trustee McGrenera that the Board adopt Ordinance No. 550 entitled, "AN ORDINANCE TO PROHIBIT DISCRIMINATORY PRACTICES IN REAL PROPERTY TRANSACTIONS IN THE VILLAGE OF ELK GROVE VILLAGE", as amended on page 8, Section 25B - 5,03 to show an annual license fee for real estate brokers of Thirty ($30.00) Dollars.

Whereupon the President declared the motion failed. Trustee Zettek explained his vote by stating that he is against the ordinance as it now reads since it does not allow the real estate broker to practice his profession; it discriminates against him. Trustee Zettek also stated that he thinks the ordinance does not accomplish the aims as he would like to see them, that of preventing anybody from discriminating in the sale of his home -- it still allows that, it does not prevent it. Trustee McGrenera explained his "Nay" vote by saying that he felt the entire Board should be present to vote on this ordinance, since it has been in discussion and under study for some time. Consideration of the interest of School District 59 in cooperating with the Village in building joint administrative office facilities was referred to the Capital Improvements Committee for a recommendation. The President also asked the Committee to present a definitive plan for the financing of the proposed new Municipal facilities. A summary of audit proposals dated August 2, 1968 has been distributed to the Board members. Trustee Coney stated that Trustees Chernick, McGrenera and Keith have said they have questions concerning the proposals and a meeting of the Capital Improvements Committee, with the Finance Director, will be scheduled.

Following discussion, this matter was referred to the Village Manager for departmental inventory reports.
