The Attorney will fully study this question and further discussion will be had at the May 10th regular meeting of the Village Board. Village Manager George L. Majoros read a report, a copy of which is attached hereto and made a part hereof. Following discussion of item #3 of the Manager's report, it was the consensus of Board members that the plat be returned, unapproved, because the improvements do not meet specifications required within the boundaries of Elk Grove Village. Mr. Troy Miller, Village Engineer, stated that he has submitted a report on technical standards for street pavements which report contains suggested wording of a revision to the Village's subdivision ordinance. Copies of the report will be distributed to the Board.

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. Jack D. Pahl JDP/dp j. C' S 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 in the current licensing ordinance (No. 259) and he has made marginal notes on a copy of same. Following a discussion of the proposed changes, it was moved by Trustee Lewis and seconded by Trustee Mullen that the Village Attorney be instructed to draft an ordinance with respect to fees and other changes as recommended by the Reverend Crail. The motion was voted upon by acclamation; whereupon the President declared the motion carried. The Clerk read a letter dated April 29, 1966 from Mrs. Howard Lundgren, Co- Chairman of the Ladies Auxiliary, V. F. W.
