Willis, to the President and Trustees, dated August 7, 1967, wherein he reports and makes recommendations on sewerage treatment facilities serving the Devon-O'Hare Industrial Park. This report stated that the Village Engineer recommended, and Mr. Willis concurs, that the Village take steps to eliminate the entrance of storm water into the Sanitary Sewer line, require the plants served by the treatment plant to dis- charge non-pollutant water into the storm sewer system and to install metering and recording equipment. Mr. Willis also recommended in his report that the Board not accept public improvements in Units No. 1 and No. 2 in the Devon-O'Hare Industrial Park Subdivision until the Village is satisfied that sufficient sewerage treatment facilities are available to serve the area. The Manager stated that he has had telephone contact with the developer of the property who has indicated willingness and interest in cooperating with the Village in solving the problems and Mr. Willis stated that he does not feel it necessary, at this time, to institute measures to force compliance until he has had an opportunity to meet and discuss the problem with the developer. During the discussion on the foregoing report and recommendations of the Manager and Engineer, it was felt by the Board that some thought and consideration should be given to requiring that all industrial plants recirculate air conditioning water. It was also requested that the Village Attorney expedite the compilation of the ordinance regarding water and sewer regulations. Mr. Willis reported that a bid notice is being published for replacement of parkway trees, which are dead or missing, for an August 28th bid opening. Trustee Keith restated his previous suggestion that a home owner be allowed to add a given amount of money toward the cost of -1- Reg. 8/8/67 replacing the tree on the parkway in front of this property in order to provide a larger tree than the Village is providing in its tree replacement program. The Board agreed that such a policy should be instituted with this year's plantings, if at all possible, and the Village Manager said that he will proceed with the necessary arrange- ments. The Village Manager also reported that today representatives of the Illinois Irispeotion Rating Bureau began a two-day inspection of the water system. They are expected to return in the fall to review the Fire Department operations in their study of the insurance rating of the Village. The Board discussed the written report, dated August 7th, of the Village Manager on the subject of bids for Police and administrative vehicles. Trustee Gibson stated that the possibility exists that an ambulance may be donated to the Village, in which case the Fire Department station wagon could be transferred for other departmental use. He suggested that optional bid arrangements be set forth in the instructions to bidders. Mr. Willis stated that in this case, the Village could advertise for four sedans and one station wagon, or five sedans and no wagon, or five sedans and one wagon. It was moved by Trustee Chernick and seconded by Trustee Zettek that the Board concur with the Manager's verbal recommendation and adver- tise for bids for vehicles with the three options as noted above by the Manager.
