Pre4ickant. Jack D. Pahl called the meeting to order at 7:20 p.m. in the

Keith, Richard A. McGrenera, Charles J. Zettek; "ABSENT" - Ronald L.

The Clerk read the legal notice which was published in the July 26,
1968 issue of the Elk Grove Herald and DuPage County Register notifying
all concerned that the Board would consider a pre-annexation agreement
to be entered into by and between the Village of Elk Grove Village and
Joseph A. Szatkowski and Helen Szatkowski, which legal notice is
attached hereto as Exhibit A.
The petitioner, Joseph A. Szatkowski, was present in the audience and
the Clerk swore in the petitioner.
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. He stated
that he is willing to connect to the sewer line at this time but is
not in a financial position now to run the water line to his property.
He stated that he is willing to pay his proportionate share (which is
$2,800.00) of the cost of extending the water line to his property now
or at such time as intervening property owners pay their pro rata share.
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.
It was moved by Trustee Keith and seconded by Trustee Coney that the
hearing be recessed to 7:50 P.M. on August 27, 1968. The motion was
voted upon by acclamation; whereupon the President declared the motion
carried and the hearing recessed at 8:10 p.m.

Richard A. McGrenera, Charles J. 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 4, paragraph 4 add "The motion was voted upon by
acclamation, whereupon the President declared the motion
carried.";
2. Page 5, paragraph 7, line 9 delete the word "space";
3. 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.
It was moved by Trustee Coney and seconded by Trustee Zettek that the
Board authorize the disbursement of $33,151 .62 from the Water and Sewer
Department Operating Account and $25,534.01 from the General Corporate
Account in payment of the invoices as shown on the August 13, 1968

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

the roll being called, the following Trustees answered "AYE" - Coney,
Gibson; "NAY" - Keith, McGrenera, Zettek; "ABSENT" - Chernick. 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.

the levy for the Police Pension and the Firemen's Pension Funds were
raised and the Capital Improvements Committee was asked to discuss these
questions with the Finance Director at the above-noted meeting.

for departmental inventory reports. Trustee Gibson suggested an
automatic twenty (20) to twenty-five (25) per cent increase for real
property insurance due to increases in values.
The Village Manager has recommended that the Board consider authorizing
an award for a contract to install a six (61 ) foot security fence enclos-
ing an area one hundred (100' ) feet north of and parallel to the admin-
istrative office building. Mr. Willis has reported that the Superintendent
of the Park District said that the District could use the area north of

Hundred ($2,300.00) Dollars. The President directed the Clerk to call
