Attorney Hofert presented a proposed "Agreement between the Village of Elk Grove
Village and the Centex Construction Company as to OversizJQ2 Sewer Mains in
Subdivigion Elk Grove Village Seetigna 12 and 14". A discussion followed between
Board members and the Attorney on the provisions contained in this proposal. A
question arose as to the total acreage involved as reported to the Attorney by the
engineers and this will be verified while the proposal is studied further by the
Board.
Regarding the proposal from Jet Die Casting Corporation concerning their installation
of water and skewer lines. Attorvey Hofert reported as follows:
Jet Die Casting is not installing over-sized mains. They are putting
in mains to serve their property, which is in the Village, and in the
process they, are crossing another parcel of land, also in the Village,
which parcel in the future could be benefited by the presence of these
water and sewer lines. Jet Die Casting asks the Village's help in
collecting money from the owners or future owners of this parcel, and
they say theVwill donate the lines in exchange for the Village's
collecting their money.. They have to donate the lines, anyway. .Tet
Die Casting has submitted an ordinance that says, in essence, that not
only will the Village not permit a hook-up but in the event a hook-up
occurs and the cwners of this parcel do not pay the charge, the Village
will enforce a penalty ordinance. Attorney Hofert said that this is
not the type of obligation he recommends or feels the Village should
take upon itself, however the Village could have an agreement with
Jet whereby the Village notifies them when a hook-up is made and it's
up to Jet to collect..

leasing aspect and Mr.
Bq� st�o �� t�a� he would have fo crieck b�ck with his employers before answering this
In reply to Trustee Mullen, Attorney Hofert said that the primary problem here is
that the leasing of vehicles is hadal'iy one of a commercial rather than an industrial
use and the question before the Board is whether or not the Board wishes or thinks
it sufficiently debirabie to have a public hearing. There is no requirement to
have a text &mehc6ent or if there is a hearing there is no duty to enact any
ordinances unless the hearing proves to the hearing body and the Village Board
that it is the step to take.

Motor Coach Company will be notified of the Board's decision. This will be on
the agenda of the May 18th regular meeting of the Board.
