"Please take notice that on Tuesday, November 14, 1967 at 7:00
p.m. at the Village Hall, 666 Landmeier Road, Elk Grove Village,
the President and Board of Trustees of the Village of Elk Grove
Village, acting as a Vehicle Commission, shall conduct a public
hearing to consider the petition of the new owner, Robert E.
Birks of the Elk Grove Village Cab Co. to operate taxis within
the Village of Elk Grove Village at which time such persons as
are interested are invited to attend and will be heard."
The Petitioner, Robert E. Birks, was sworn in by the Village Clerk. He
stated he is the part owner, the other partner being his brother, of the
Elk Grove Village Cab Company, business address: 13 South Wille Street,
Mt. Prospect, Illinois; residence: 442 North Benton, Palatine, Illinois.
During the testimony, Mr. Birks stated that he owns thirteen (13) cabs,
ten (10) of which are licensed in Mt. Prospect and three (3) for which
he hopes to secure Elk Grove licenses. The Elk Grove Cabs are 1967
Plymouths with approximately thirty (30,000) thousand mileage. He stated
that he and his brother purchased the Elk Grove Village Cab Company on
or about September 1, 1967; that his brother is more of a silent partner
and that he is the managing operator. He presented copies of the insur-
ance coverage showing $100,000/$300,000 Public Liability and $25,000
Property lamage. In reply to questions as to future additional cabs
for Elk Grove Village, Mr. Birks stated that he anticipates the need
for cab service will increase and that as the need arises, he will meet
it with additional cabs.
There were no other persons in the audience who wished to speak either
for or against the petition. President Pahl told Mr. Birks that the
Board would take his petition under advisement and that he will be
notified when a decision has been reached.

MINUTES OF THE REGULAR MEETING OF
THE PRESIDENT AND BOARD OF TRUSTEES
OF THE VILLAGE OF ELK GROVE VILLAGE
HELD ON NOVEMBER 14, 1967
President Jack D. Pahl called the meeting to order at 8:02 p.m. in the
Municipal Building in said Village. Upon the roll being called by the
Village Clerk, Eleanor G. Turner, the following Trustees answered
"PRESENT" - Ronald L. Chernick, George C. Coney, James R. Gibson,
Eugene V. Keith, Richard A. McGrenera; "ABSENT" - Charles J. Zettek.
Village Attorney Edward C. Hofert was present at this meeting.
It was moved by Trustee Chernick and seconded by Trustee Coney that
the minutes of the regular meeting of November 7, 1967 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.
Trustee Charles J. Zettek arrived at 8:04 p.m.
The Reverend Richard S. Ferris, Pastor of the Prince of Peace Methodist
Church, opened the meeting with a prayer.
President Pahl gave a report on the organizational progress of the Cook
Counts Council of Governments and stated that at the appropriate time,
he will request the Village Board for application for formal participa-
tion in said Council.
Attorney Hofert reported that he has not completed his study of the
compilation and codification of the ordinances and resolutions regarding
water and sewer service and requested an additional two (2) week period
in which to complete this assignment.
Trustee Gibson stated that he felt an ordinance disconnecting water
users outside the Village should be prepared and enacted as soon as
possible. Mr. Hofert stated that the Village has an obligation to
continue to furnish water to the customers received at the time of the
Village's purchase of the water and sewer facilities. However, those
customers outside the Village who contracted for service after the
purchase have only those rights agreed upon at the time of the tap-on
or connection. During discussion, it was pointed out that there are
two (2) to four (4) users at one (1) location outside the Village.
Since the location had been furnished water prior to the purchase by
the Village, it was the consensus that the Board not take action to
disconnect.
The Village Manager, Charles A. Willis, reported:
1 . That he anticipates arranging a meeting between Mr. McLennon
his engineer, and the Village's Engineer to coordinate the
study of the sanitary sewerage treatment plant in the Devon-
O'Hare Industrial Park.
2. That he has prepared a memorandum and a proposed Ordinance
Regulating Fences and Shrubs and recommended that the proposed
Ordinance be referred to the Judiciary, Planning and Zoning
Committee and the Village Attorney for study and preparation
of an ordinance suitable for adoption at an early date.
3. That he has written to officials of the County Highway Depart-
ment requesting a survey with a view toward reducing the speed
limit on Arlington Heights Road.
4. That upon review of the insurance policy submitted by James W.
Donovan, Jr. of the Coach Cab Company (applicant for a taxi
license to transport high school youngsters to and from school
and job locations in the Industrial Park and at St. Alexius
-1- Reg. 11/14/67
Hospital), it has been noted that the insurance coverage does
not apply while the automobile is operated as a bus or scheduled
along a regular route and as a business service. The Village
Attorney has advised that, therefore, the Cab Company is not
adequately covered by insurance as required by State law and
by Village Ordinance. Mr. Willis recommended, in reply to
Trustee Coney's question, that the applicant and School
District 214 be advised of the lack of proper insurance
coverage and until such time as adequate coverage is furnished,
he cannot be permitted to operate in the Village.
5. That a meeting will be arranged to consider the need for a pre-
annexation agreement relating to thirty (30) acres of property
north of Devon Avenue and west of Section 15 which has been
referred to the Plan Commission for a pre-annexation zoning
hearing.
6. That a meeting will be held in Elgin on November 15th to con-
sider whatever information the Elgin office of the State High-
way Department has concerning the relocation of Irving Park
Road.
7. That a public hearing will be held in the Village Hall on
November 30th at 10:00 a.m. by the Illinois Division of High-
ways on the proposed improvement of State Route 83. At 7:30
p.m. on Friday, November 24th a meeting will be held to present
the strip map of the proposed improvement for inspection and
review by interested Village officials.
8. That a county-wide sanitary sewerage system has been proposed
for DuPage County and it is recommended that the President and
Board of Trustees go on record, by motion or resolution, indi-
cating that they are in support of the County' s development of
such a sanitary system. Mr. John Morris, Superintendent of
Public Works of DuPage County, will discuss the plans and the
timetable for such a project at a meeting to be held at 8:00
p.m. on November 20th in Elmhurst. Mr. Morris will also be
the featured speaker at a meeting of the Mayors and Managers
of DuPage County to be held on Wednesday, November 22. Mr.
Willis suggested that perhaps Board members would consider
attending one of these meetings.
9. That the agreement and documents submitted by the Badger Pipe
Line Company to install a transmission line in State Route 83
have been reviewed by the Village Engineer and the Village
Attorney. It is recommended that the request for the permit
for this installation be approved in accordance with the docu-
ments submitted and on file with the Village.
10. That Section 16, north of Biesterfield Road and west of Arlington
Heights Road, is in the planning and development stage. A
storm sewer outfall is needed along the north edge of Arlington
Heights Road and would pass through the Forest Preserve. An
application for an easement through the Forest Preserve for
this purpose can only be submitted by a Public Utility or a
Municipality. Therefore, Centex Corporation has requested
that the Village request a license from the Forest Preserve
and Centex has stated that they will hold the Village harmless
as to fees, contracts, and other liabilities. Mr. Willis
stated that it is recommended that the Board consider authori-
zation to sign the license application for the easement for
this storm sewer outlet.
11 . That he has received a letter from the Village Engineer dated
November 10, 1967 expressing the Engineer's understanding as
to the specifications for Well No. 6, a copy of which letter
has been transmitted to each member of the Board.
-2- Reg. 11/14/67
12. That the Village Engineer has prepared a report and estimated
cost to correct the flooding Problem on Larchmont Drive between
Carswell Avenue and Hemlock Drive. In view of the estimated
cost, Mr. Willis stated that it is recommended that the project
not be undertaken at this time, but be incorporated in future
plans which may be developed for the resurfacing of Larchmont
Drive.
It was moved by Trustee Coney and seconded by Trustee Zettek that the
Board concur in the Village Manager's recommendation and grant the
request of Badger Pipe Line for a permit to install a pipe line along
the west side of State Route 83 according to plans and documents sub-
mitted to the Village.
During the discussion, Mr. Willis stated that the proposed transmission
line will be placed in the dedicated highway right of way and that the
Badger Pipe Line Company expects to receive its permit from the State
as soon as the State finalizes plans for the improvement for State Route
83. Trustee McGrenera expressed concern that there are already too
many installations in the rights of way, thereby making it awkward when
access is needed by our personnel. Trustee Chernick felt the Village
should withhold action until the State has granted the permit.
The President directed the Clerk to call the roll on the motion and
upon the roll being called, the following Trustees answered "AYE" -
Coney, Gibson, Keith, Zettek; "NAY" - Chernick, McGrenera; "ABSENT" -
none. Whereupon the President declared the motion carried.

Board authorize the signing of a license application to provide an

Arlington Heights Road through the Forest Preserve. The President
directed the Clerk to call the roll on the motion and upon the roll
being called, the following Trustees answered "AYE" - Chernick, Coney,
Gibson, Keith, McGrenera, Zettek; "NAY" - none; "ABSENT" - none.
Whereupon the President declared the motion carried.
Trustee Keith stated that if Irving Park Road is to become a four (4)
lane road and major artery, this may have some effect on the Board's
thinking in relation to the boundary agreements on the southern end
of the Village. He stated he felt that if Irving Park Road is a four
(4) lane road, the Board should reconsider its boundary on the south
side and stop at Devon Avenue.
It was moved by Trustee McGrenera and seconded by Trustee Keith that
the Board direct a letter from the Village to the governing body of
DuPage County expressing the recommendation of the President and
Trustees of Elk Grove Village for further study and adoption of a
sanitary sewer system in DuPage County. The motion was voted upon
by acclamation, whereupon the President declared the motion carried.
Mr. Robert Peterson, Village Engineer, reported that the pump and
motor have been installed at Well No. 5 and that contracts A and B
which included the construction of the well and the installation of
the pump and motor are substantially completed. Contract C, which
includes the wiring, is under way.
Mr. Peterson also reported that the field work has been completed in
connection with the specifications for Well No. 6. Following dis-
cussion as to the specifications for this Well, it was the consensus
of the Board that the understanding of Mr. Peterson, as expressed in
his letter to the Village Manager dated November loth, expresses the
wishes of the Board and that two (2) alternates are to be prepared
as stated in this letter. br. Peterson is to proceed on this basis
and complete the specifications. The Village Manager will schedule
a meeting regarding the transmission lines from the intersection of
Biesterfield Road and Bisner Road to Well site No. 6 and a survey of
y Reg. 11/14/67
the site will be ordered so that a deed can be prepared.

interviews. All Board members will be advised so they may attend the
