The motion was voted upon by acclamation, whereupon the President declared the motion carried. It was moved by Trustee Keith and seconded by Trustee Zettek that the Board adopt Resolution No. 96-68, a Resolution informing the Metropolitan Sanitary District that Elk Grove Village has no combined sewer system. The President directed the Clerk to call the roll on the motion and upon the roll being called, the following Trustees answered "AYE" - Gibson, Keith, McGrenera, Zettek; "NAY" - none; °ABSENT" - Chernick, Coney. Whereupon the President declared the motion carried. Discussion followed on the consideration to award the sidewalk replacement contract to the low bidder, Metz Construction Company at their bid price of 81 cents per square foot. Bids opened on September 16, 1968 were, as follows: Metz Construction Company, 81 cents per square foot; P. Sales Company, 96 cents per square foot; Capital Cement Company, 98 cents per square foot. Mr. Charles A. Willis, Village Manager, reported that the Village has budgeted 46,000.00 for its share of a fifty-fifty sidewalk replacement program and if an equal amount of money is deposited by the residents who wish their defective walks replaced, approximately 10,000 square feet of work could be performed which would correct about 40 per cent of all defective sidewalks in the Village. Discussion followed concerning the foregoing and the Public Works Director was requested to bring the bid proposals to the meeting. Mr. Willis reported that the following bids were received on September 25, 1968 for 600 tons of salt: Morton Salt Company, 412.80 per ton delivered, Diamond Salt Company, $12.80; International Salt Company, $14.80; Hardy Salt Company, 412.80; Cargill Salt Company, $12.80. Mr. Willis also reported that the City of Chicago will sell road salt to the Village at ;69.30 per ton. The cost to the Village to pick up and haul the salt to the Village is estimated at 41 .33 to 142.85 per ton. (This difference in cost is based on whether the Village has to hire menpower and equipment to bring the salt or whether it can pick it up with its own trucks and crew.) The total estimated cost per ton would be 1010.63 to 412.15 effecting a savings of ;11 ,300.00 to 10390.00 by purchasing through the City of Chicago. However, Mr. Willis reported 1 - Reg. 10/1/68 ri. that the Village does not have a firm commitment from the Law Department of the City of Chicago as to their ability to sell salt to the Village. It was moved by Trustee Gibson and seconded by Trustee McGrenera that the Board authorize the purchase of eighty (80) tons of salt at a cost not to exceed 102.80 per ton from Morton Salt Company to give the Village a safety valve until such time that the Village can establish whether or not the City of Chicago can sell to the Village. Trustee Chernick arrived at 8:35 p.m. The President directed the Clerk to call the roll on the motion and upon the roll being called, the following Trustees answered "AYE" - Gibson, Keith, McGrenera, Zettek; 1UAY" - none; "ABSTAIi1" - Chernick; "ABSENT" - Coney. Whereupon the President declared the motion carried. The Village Manager was requested to follow-up for a decision from Chicago on the salt question. Following discussion of the bid proposal and the sidewalk replacement program proposed on a fifty-fifty basis, it was moved by Trustee Keith and seconded by Trustee Chernick that the Board authorize the acceptance of the bid from Metz Cement Company, 1207 Green Acres Lane, Mt. Prospect, in the amount of 81 cents per square foot with the understanding that they will agree that the Village may purchase a minimum of 2,000 square feet and agree to an unlimited open-end. The President directed the Clerk to call the roll on the motion and upon the roll being called, the following Trustees answered "AYE" - Chernick, Gibson, Keith, McGrenera, Zettek; 11AAY" - none; "ABSENT" - Coney. Whereupon the President declared the motion carried. It was the consensus that if there is not 100 per cent participation in the sidewalk replacement program by the residents, the matter should be brought to the Board's attention. Trustee Gibson, Chairman of the Judiciary Committee, reported that the Committee recommends that a letter be sent to the pronerty owners along Cosman Road stating: 1 . That the Village does not feel justified in buying the necessary 50 foot dedication required of the Doll and Heinrich properties on the basis of its setting a precedent with far-reaching effects; 2. That the Village cannot solve already existing drainage and pond- ing problems; 3. That the allocation of the cost of the improvement be distributed among the property owners according to the recommendation of the Village's consultant; i.e., Doll - 12'J per cent, Heinrich - 12-� per cent, Hodlmair Subdivision - 75 per cent (estimated total cost - 48,500.00) ; 4. That any questions regarding the proposed improvement can be addressed to the Village Manager; and 5. That a request for acceptance or rejection of the proposal no later than November 15, 1968. Trustee Gibson also stated that the matter of the A-2 zoning at the Medical Center on Arlington Heights Road is being handled by the Attorney and the petitioner' s attorney.
