PR3,ST7ENT'S REPORT
MAY 3. 1966
1. The Village Board and myself wish to advise the Community that a
minimum ten percent (10°x) reduction will be made available in
water and sewer rates in the next 3 to 6 months. The Board is
in the midst of a very detailed and thorough study of our water
needs now and 5 to 10 years from now. As soon as this study is
completed the Board will announce policies to be followed in the
future, including the downward rate adjustment. It is the desire
of the Board to make this statement to the Community at this time
as it considers the formation of a Park District on May 21, 1966.
2. Many people, including Park District Commission candidates, have
inquired as to what the Village Board policy will be in relation
to parks, playgrounds and the Grant Wood youth center after a Park
District is formed. To answer this query a resolution has been
prepared for your consideration, and can be discussed under Item
11 of this Agenda.

VILLAGE MANAGER'S REPORT
MAY 39 1966
1. Water Study Report and Meeting
I have distributed copies of replacement sheets to be substituted for
existing pages in the Alvord, Burdick & Howson "Report on Present and
Future Water Requirements". Mr. Howson is available to meet with the
Board the evening of May 99 1966, if this date is satisfactory to the
Board.
2. State Highway Department Meeting on I-90
Mr. Pahl and I met last Wednesday morning with the assistant design
engineer and location engineer of the Chicago office of the State
Highway Department. We examined in some detail the location draw-
ings for I-90. The proposed location and. its utilization of some
of the existing right of way of Route 53 will probably affect the
future Village boundaries and the zoning of both present and future
incorporated territory.
I-90 is planned to be depressed under both Devon Avenue and Biesterfield
Road, and will meet grade again at just about the Scharringhausen gravel
pit. Devon and Biesterfield overpasses are planned for only 2 lane con-
struction. A meeting has been scheduled in 2 weeks with Cook County
Commissioner Frank Fulle to determine what aid the County may be able
to provide to insure 4 lane construction for these overpasses.
3. Higgins Industrial Park
I have discussed the street specification for the subject subdivision
with the engineer for the developer. The plans call for a 30 foot wide
street with concrete curb and gutter, 12 inch water bound macadam base
and a 3 inch bituminous surface. Present Village standards in the
Higgins commercial area call for a 36 foot wide street but only a 10
inch base. Based on the type of industry presently located in the
area, I feel the width is probably sufficient.
4. Luehring Property
Mr. Luehring assured me by telephone today that the abandoned vehicles
would be removed from his property on May p, 1966. He also maintains
that a registered architect has prepared plans for the rehabilitation
of the existing structures on the property, and he intends to apply for
a building permit next week. I told him that the issuance of such a
permit would depend on the plan review by our architect and inspection
by our building inspectors to insure compliance with Village ordinances.
George L. Majoros
The Reverend David Crail, Chairman of the Bicycle Safety Committee, recommended
that certain procedural changes in the issuance of bicycle licenses be made,
effective immediately. Some of these changes necessitate a change or changes

copy of same.

seconded by Trustee Mullen that the Village Attorney be instructed to draft an

Crail. The motion was voted upon by acclamation; whereupon the President declared
