Trustee Zettek reported that he and Trustees Coney and Mullen met with the architect for the high school at Elk Grove Boulevard and Arlington Heights Road regarding the proposed swimming Pool. The architect presented a preliminary figure of 4325,000 to 4350,000 for the enclosed, olympic-size pool, bleachers, washrooms and lockers. Other costs would be for the purchase of the property, financing, legal fees and costs of the referendum. He said they are still in the process of resolving some of the costs, however the approximate total cost would be : 400,000.00. Trustee Zettek also said that the construction of the pool would be at no cost to the Village and at a lesser cost to School District 214 because the Village can get a lower interest rate on the bonds. Trustee Coney pointed out that the referendum would be for the purpose of granting the authority to construct the pool and to levy a tax to pay back the $400,000 although a tax would not be levied, the money would be paid back through a leasing arrangement with School District 214 whereby they would pay the Village $20,000 each year for a period of 20 years., this money to come from the Building Fund of School District 214• In reply to a questim from Trustee Garrity, Attorney Hofert said that if a future School Board is friendly toward the terms of the lease agreement it will honor those terms, however, if it is an unfriendly Board toward the agreement, it would have the right to not honor the agreement. Attorney Hofert said that the procedure would be as follows: there would be a referendum as to whether or not the Village of Elk Grove Village should issue bonds in the amount of $4.00,000 to construct the pool. If the voters are in favor, a lease agreement would be signed and every year the $20,000 paid by 214 would be abated at the County level. If the $20,r'00 were not paid, the tax would be levied for that year. Trustee Zettek said the next step the Committee will take is to resolve all costs and then a letter will be sent, over the signature of the Village President, indicating the Board's interest, outlining the results of the research and the cost estimates, and requesting an expression of opinion from School District 214 as to whether or not they wish to proceed further. Trustee Lewis said that he has been approached by one of the Doctors in the Medical Building located on the west side of Arlington Heights Road and north of Biesterfield Road, who wanted to know the procedure for having a sidewalk installed from the Arlington Heights Road and Biesterfield Road intersection to the Building. Attorney Hofert said that the consent of the property owners involved must be secured for the dedication of their land for the sidewalk, or failing to secure the consent, condemnation proceedings must take place however condemnation would have to be justified on the basis of public benefit. The Board did not feel that the Village should undertake any investigation of this problem and that it would be the responsibility of the owners of the Medical Building to investigate all aspects of the installation of the sidewalks and to bear all costs in relation thereto. - 5 - Reg. 9-14-65 It was moved by Trustee Lewis and seconded by Trustee Zettek that the meeting be adjourned. The motion was voted upon by acclamation; whereupon the President declared the motion carried and the hearing adjourned at 11 :03 p.m. Eleanor G. Tuyfio Village Clerk APPROVED: ISack D.
