mission for public hearing.

cessive Mondays with Mr. Rolf Campbell of Tec-Search for the purpose
of going over the proposed Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance.
Village Manager Charles A. Willis reported:
1 . That letters have gone out to the property owners affected
by the storm sewer outfall along Seat Creek. These letters
have explained the costs and procedures that have been
established for the correction of this problem.
2. That the Park District has submitted two (2) proposed Ordinances
which would provide for the extension of Police service to Park
District facilities. They have requested an expression from
the Board as to these proposals.
3. That a land appraiser has been contacted to give the Board the
fair market value of certain property located in the Village.
Q. That the Board has received a report from him dated November 19th
wherein he describes the proposed shared cost to extend a water
main north from Clearmont Drive and Arlington Heights Road. The
extension of a water line from this intersection is planned by
Mr. Luehring, who wishes to have service extended to a second
lot which he owns fronting on the east side of Arlington Heights
Road. A six (611) inch line is adequate; however, it is recom-
mended by the Village Engineer that the line be a twelve (1211)
inch main and run from this intersection to J.F. Kennedy Boule-
vard, thereby eliminating two (2) dead-end lines. The estimated
cost of the difference is $1,067.20.

regarding a proposed policy for handling the mailing list of
water customers.
r 6. That he has given the Board a report dated November 20th con-
cerning the meeting he attended on November 15th at the State
Highway Engineer's office in Elgin concerning the realignment
of Irving Park Road. Serious study is being given to relocating
Irving Park Road somewhere in the vicinity of Thorndale Road.
Copies of the =oposed Ordinances prepared by the Park District referred
to in Item 2 above will be distributed to the Board members, and the
Village Manager was requested to prepare a recommendation for the Board
as to thio proposal.

prehensive study of the regulations regarding concrete work in the

tion of proposed changes based on the materials and information that
