That Chapter 24, Section 8-9-1 of the Illinois Revised Statutes provides that, in the case of contracts for public improvement, competitive bids be sought by public advertisement or, in the alternative, two-thirds (2/3) of the elected Trustees may vote to suspend this procedure. 2. That he has examined the Ordinance relating to the flood plain which the Village received from the Northeastern Illinois Planning Commission. He stated that it is extremely tedious and restricted in nature. He is not satisfied at this point that the Village should pass this Ordinance. He will get additional information to pass on to the Board for their con- sideration of this subject. 3. That he will be in court tomorrow on the question of tLe renovation of the Luehrina property on Arlington Heights Road -1- Reg. 9/19/67 between Clearmont Drive and Kennedy Boulevard, at which time it is hoped that contracts will be exhibited by Mr. Luehring which will satisfy the oourt in that the contemplated renova- tion will be completed by December 1 , 1967. This will decide whether or not Mr. Luehring will be held in contempt of court. 4. That he has discussed with the underwriters of the Village's insurance the case of a possible false arrest against the Village, and that the insurance company's position is one of indemnification and not defense. He stated that perhaps the Village Board should consider whether or not it wishes to change its insurance coverage to provide !or defense as well as indemnification in such situations.

Trustee Coney requested, and the Board concurred, that the Village Attorney proceed with the necessary steps of site acquisition for the Industrial Fire Station.

That the additional test on Well No. 5 referred to at the last meeting is actually the third test rather than the second, since the contract provides for two test runs of this well. He stated that he has discussed with the Village Engineer the matter of the cost for a third test. The approximate cost is $1,000.00 plus a per-hour charge for the duration of the test. The need for this is dependent on the second test, which is provided for in the contract, and the results of that test insofar as capacity and sand content. 2. That the United States Department of Agriculture, Soil Con- servation Department, is now conducting a soil survey in the western part of the Village. They will provide the Village with maps showing types of soil conditions found. A committee session will be called to review the findings and conclusions based on the survey. He said that it will be sometime in January before the Village gets the results of the field tests and the maps produced by the soil conservation service. 3. That he has received a report from Layne-Western on shallow well testing and has not had time to summarize it for the Board; however, a brief review indicates that one well will produce five hundred (500) gallons per minute on a twenty- four (24) hour basis. Village Engineer Robert Peterson reported that he has made an inspection of Gordon Street in the Higgins Road Commercial Section from Higgins Road, north, to Bennett Road and that a drainage problem has been noted and reported to the developer.

He should also call the Village Manager for advice and consideration in the area of administra- tion.

Any time that the Manager, the Attorney, or the Planner have policy matters arising they can notify me. Any other problems can be referred either to the Plan Commission, the Village Board, or both.
