G- President'd, Rpport July 6, 1965 It is entirely fitting and proper that Elk Grove Village should have Objectives and Policies to determine its destiny and that the primary overall objective be "to make Elk Grove Village a better place in which to live and work by creating a Village which is truly outstanding" . , It is good for the Village Board to have a written policy statement and a set of objectives to guide it in its manifold deliberations. It is also wise for us to make available to all Boards, Commissions, Citizen's Committees and Village Community groups a written statement as to the direction we all wish the Village to be moving. The assembling of these goals and objectives has been aided and helped by mapy„groups and individuals. On three occassions requests for assistance, criti- cism and suggestions have been made to community groups and their leadership. And in each instance they have responded with ideas which have become a part of this final product. These objectives have been two years in preparation, being started by a joint meeting of the previous Board and Members of the Zoning Commission. The Zoning Commission was made up of Members of the Zoning Board of Appeals and the Plan Commission. As many of you will recall it was at the suggestion of Tom Dyke of the Northeastern Metropolitan Plan Commission, that the first step in adopting a comprehension plan of a community was to have a set of goals, indicating the desires and aspirations of the Village and its people. These policies will determine the nature and character of our community for many years to come. The Plan Commission, at our last Board Meeting, submitted the finished product to this Board for adoption. It should be the intent of this Administration to start appropriate action and program to make these objectives a reality. To accomplish each objective will require much planning, much dedication and much help and cooperation from the entire community. Let us, as the responsible community leaders of Elk Grove Village, adopt these objectives and their accompanying policies as the first step in The Development of a Comprehensive Plan for the Village of Elk Grove Village, Illinois. Let us reded- icate ourselves to the work of malting this a "Village which is truly outstanding" . I ask the Board to adopt the Objectives and Policies by resolution. Jack D. Pahl Y f. Village Manager's Report July 6, 1965 1. Drainage east of Elmhurst Road. Mr: Fletcher was contacted as to his availa-bility for this study. He indicated that he was interested in preparing i plans for corrective steps. Mr. Norman Atkins expressed his opinion that the Village Board was confronted with more pressing problems than this one and that the Centex Industrial Park Association did not regard this problem as requiring immediate action. He recommended that the engineering study be delayed until the appointment of a new Village Engineer. In view of Mr. Fletcher's present committments to complete pending projects I concur with Mr. Atkin's recommendation. 2. Debris on Streets. You have received a copy of a final warning against littering prepared by Chief Jenkins and personally distributed by a uni- formed policeman to every general building contractor and landscape contractor working in the Village. I have been informed that the Centex Industrial Park.Association is also bringing pressure to bear on this problem. Most industrial streets have now been cleaned so that respon- sibility for future littering can be easily fixed. 3. Tots Park. If the Board concurs in the recommendation of the Plan Commission and the Playground and Recreation Board that the request of the two property owners on Walnut bene for vacation of the 50 foot right-of-way between their homes be denied then I recommend that the Board authorize action to make the right-of-way and the Tots Park more useful. The Commonwealth Edison Company is agreeable to lease the approximately 3.7 acres of its right-of-way within the Village limits directly north of the Tots Park and adjacent to the right-of-way to the Village for playground purposes upon request. This lease would be effective upon the termination of the present lease the Berthold Nursery holds on the property. The stock presently planted on the Edison property creates a physical barrier for the right-of-way ar.d the Berthold lease creates a legal one. A lease by the Village would not only more than double the available area but also remove the above mentioned barriers. 4. Well Pumpage Report. You are inr•receipt of subject report prepared by Mr. Clementi. While it is not in the strictest sense a use versus capacity report nonetheless certain conclusions are evident. a. During the hottest ten days of the year thus far we managed to supply the demand without running the reservoir dry. b. Pressure was maintained during the period. It was moved by Trustee Garrity and seconded by Trustee Zettek that the Park and Recreation Board be directed to look into the suggestion of Trustee Chernick, specifically the feasibility of leasing this 3.7 acres which we have just voted to do. President Pahl stated that the second motion is inconsistent with the first motion whereupon he ruled the second motion out of order. It was moved by Trustee Garrity and seconded by Trustee Mullen that the Board overrule the ruling of the Chair. The President directed the Clerk to call the roll. Upon the roll being called the following Trustees answered "AYE" - Coney, Garrity, Mullen; "NAY" - Chernick, Lewis, Zettek; "ABSENT" - none. President Pahl voted "NAY" and declared the motion not carried. Following discussion of item #1 of the Village Manager's report, it was moved by Trustee Garrity and seconded by Trustee Zettek that the item "drainage east of Elmhurst Road" be removed from the agenda. Trustee Lewis objected to this action and said he feels it would be a mistake since this is a recurring problem that he feels should be solved and that if Engineer Fletcher is willing and desirous of under- taking this project he would like to have him do the work since he is most familiar with the area. It was moved by Trustee Zettek and seconded by Trustee Mullen that the motion be amended to read that the item "drainage east of Elmhurst Road" will be placed back on the agenda one month following the appointment of a new Village Engineer. 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, Garrity, Lewis, Mullen, Zettek; "NAY" none; "ABSENT"- none. Whereupon the President declared the motion carried. With the consent of the second, Trustee Garrity withdrew his motion. President Pahl administered the oath of office to Mrs. Barbara Watson, member of the Board of Health and Mr. Patrick Rooney, Village Treasurer. During the discussion of item #5 of Mr.Ma,joros'report (well no. 3) it was suggested by Trustee Lewis that the Village residents be n—o-f e by card of the continuing sprinkling restrictions, since the Board does not feel it advisable to lift the restrictions until well #3 is on the line and operating efficiently. Mr. Jack Andrews distributed copies of the cost of salting of all inter- sections which was discussed previously, this cost being $9,720 for salt- ing operations for an average winter season if all the intersections 250) were salted. Item #7 of the Manager's report was discussed and there were no objections to proceeding on this basis. At this time (9:24 p.m. ) the President declared a recess to permit residents in attendance at this meeting to address questions and comments to the Board members. President Pahl reconvened the meeting at 9:29 p.m. and directed the Clerk to call the roll. Upon the roll being called the following Trustees answered "PRESENT" - Chernick, Coney, Garrity, Lewis, Mullen, Zettek; "ABSENT" - none. The Clerk read a letter dated July 6, 1965 from Mr. Evan Stebbins, Real Estate Manager for Centex Construction Co., Inc., submitting the prelim- inary plat of Centex Industrial Park Unit 102 covering one lot on the south side of Landmeier Road approxima e y t5o feet east of Nicholas Blvd. Trustee Lewis expressed concern as to whether or not the County Highway Dept. was planning to straighten this road as had been discussed approx- imately two years ago, and President Pahl asked the Village Manager to investigate this. The plat was reffered to the Plan Commission for their recommendation. -2- Reg. 7-6-65 The Clerk read a letter dated July 6, 1965 from Mr. Stebbins submitting the final plat of Elk Grove Village Section 14.

The Clerk reported receipt of a request from School District 59 for the final payment of $15,165.00 on the Grant Wood School and Youth Center building in accordance with the agreement between the Village and the School District. This will appear on the Warrant at the next regular meeting The Clerk presented proposed resolutions requesting State approval for the expenditure of $12,500 and $8,000 from Motor Fuel Tax funds for patching and seal coating various arterial and non-arterial streets. It was decided that this matter would be held for a week pending a report to the Board from the Manager and/or Engineer of the amount of money in the Motor Fuel Tax Fund Account and the projects which are planned for the future in the MFT program. It was pointed out that this expenditure would be approx- imately $10,000 over the amount budgeted. Copies of the proposed resolutions will be distributed to the Board members.
