The Goveftorls Committee on the Employment of the Handicapped presented a program of their activities at the most recent Northwest Municipal Conference which Mri Majorca and I attended. 2: This past Wednesday, I met with the members of the Village Publicity Committee to discuss plans and method of operation. I am hopeful that the Committee will have bhecifid recommendations for their Public Relations and Personnel Committee by early December. They are planning a project for the end of this month. 3. I have called a meeting of the Community Leaders to meet with the Board next Wednesday, November 10th, to start planning activity for a Community, Civic, Cultural,and Youth Center. This is to prepare ourselves for the meeting with the Urban Land Institute on December 9th. At this time, I would also like to invite anyone in the Village who is interested in such a project. J D, Pahl aident l G I- F: VILLAGE MANAGERIS REPORT NOVEMBER 2. 1965 1 . Health Inspections Last Friday, I hired Mrsj Grant (Barbara) Watson of 690 Grosvener Road as Elk Grove Village Health Inspector and Mrs4 John (Fay) Bishop as Elk Grove Village Deputy Health Inspectors Both will serve in these capacities without salaryi:- Mrs. Watson, who is also a member of our Board of Health is a registered nurse and will bring to the position the technical knowledge and interest that it deserves. Mrs. Bishop's duties will consist primarily of the inspection of mobile food dispensing vehicles while Mrs. Watson will concentrate on the inspection of restaurants, bars, food stores, im`3str.al and sr_.,hoof cafeterias, and drug stores. Last Friday afternoon in the company of Mr. John Schultz of the Cook Cosnty Health Departments MrsA Watson and. f inspected a restaurant and a food store in what I expect to be the first of a continuing series of regular inspections, Mrs. Watson and I will be meeting soon with Inspectors and Board of Health members of other municipalities to supplement the knowle'ge gained by our meeting with a private;; sanitarian in order to formulate a recommendation for a new comprehensive health ordindnee. 2. Telephoto, Franchise. Ordinates I have distributed a copy of a proposed amendment to our present I1'i.no-L-, Bell Telephone Company Franchise Ordinance. The amendment is sinila: `.,c the one approved by the Board of Trustees last year and not signed by t'::c Village President. The following table illustrates the differerce hetaoen the present ordinance provisions, last years revision, and the one now c d= consideration. Present Ordinance: 23 lines plus one for each 250 over 2500 1964 Revision: 35 lines plus one for each 760 over 58-01 New Amendment: 37 lines plus one for each 867 over 7000 The amendment under consideration still contains the reservation of ea: -:-it rights in the event of a street vacation to which the previous Village President objected. The immediate increase in benefits to be derived ovpr the next four years, it seems to me, outweigh any benefits to b ; 1,1-7.3- in 1969 from the more favorable ratio we seem to enjoy. I alto _cel that sufficient controls exist to insure compliance with the easement section. Accordingly, I recommend its adoption. A" - Page 2 3. Traffic Signal Change At wase and Landmeier Roadsi We are in receipt of plans sent by the Illinois Division of Highways for the improvenkent of the tf4ffic control signal system at the intersection of Busse and tandmefer Roads. In order to comply with the standards of the Bureau of Public Roads, four new signal heads will be placed on posts, one on each corner, to provide two heads in each direction of travel. The magnetic detectors on Busse Road will be moved about 80 feet further away from the intersection to provide for a ).argar time delay between the vehicle activation of the detectors and the charSe of the signal sequence. Of more interest to the Village is the third major change, which will provide for turn protection for traffic entering westbound on Landmeier Road from Busbe; This arrow will be activated on17 between 3:30 and 6:30 P. Mr The work will start about March or April of 1966 and should be completed a few weeks thereafter. The fact that the State of Illinois is willing to spend this money without moving the entire signal system to ;.rovide for a future widening, seems to indicate that the road improvements are many years away. 4. Tractor - backhoe - loader Bids The three lowest bidders made their equipment available for extensive testing by five of our Village personnel who will be operating the equipment upon delivery The lowest three bids (all for demonstrator models) were as follows: Charles Equipment Company = International - x4,685.50 Howard Worthington, Inez - Oliver - 5,689.00 John F; Garlisch &. Sons - International - 51750100 Upon close exdmination the apparent low bidder did not appear to furnish a tractor that met the specifications As to hours of operation. I there- fore recommend that the bid of Charles Equipment Company be rejected. In many respects the other two units are very similar. Both dealers are close to the Village limits and can offer good service. The choice then, seemed to narrow down to operator preference for ease of handling, speed and power. Four out of the five operators preferred the International. I therefore recommend the Tractor-loader-backhoe bid be awarded to John F. Garlisch, Sons, in the amount of $5,750.00 George L. Majoros Village Manager Trustee Mullen said that tho .j4diciary, Planning and Zoning Committee has studied the Proposed_amendment to theCook County Zgnin� din at a to planned developments. During the diicilbsion which sd t er8 was agreement among Board members that the foll6wing oW ectione be presented to the County: 1 . That the Board questions the legality of the provision which allows the County Zoning Board, at the time of a hearing, to change a petition for a particular zoning district to that of a planned development if the petition meets the criteria of a planned development and if proper legal notice of the hearing has been given. 2. That there is no overall traffic plan to prevent congestion. 3. That there is no provision for plats to be filed with the County Zoning Board prior to the date of the hearing. (Attorney Hofert had suggested that this be included among the objections. He said it would be advantageous for municipalities to have plate to examine before the hearing in order to ascertain whether or not to Hire expert testimony in their behalf. 4. That the Board of Commissioners should not have the right or power to later change planned development agreement wherein certain additions, such as a swimming pool, were to be a part of the development since the addition or additions could have been an important reason for approving the developmentl It was moved by Trustee Mullen and seconded by Trustee Lewis that the Board authorize the Village Attorney to write a letter to the Cook County Zoning Board of Appeals, copies to the Cook County Board of Commissioners, stating the views as outlined abovei The motion was voted upon by acclamation,, whereupon the President declared the motion carriedi M4'4 Eugene Vi Keith; Chairman of the Zoning Board of Appeals, read letters sent to S atsi Paimiateri -Hep ioi dfi Dockets, 657and 65-8 wherein they were notified that their fence.-Varidtion reanests were deniefli In reply to a question from the petitioner in one of the aforementioned dockets, Attorney Hofert said that he could re-address his petition to the Zoning Board on the bhold of a new set of facts or he could request an administrative review by the Circuit Court. The Clerk reported receipt of the following: 1 . A petition dated October 27, 1965 from Mr. Robert Huang, National Material Corporation, 2525 Arthur Avenue, Elk Grove Village, requesting a zoning variation for a projected parking area addition to the front of their building. This will be forwarded to the Zoning Board of Appeals. 2. A letter dated November 2, 1965 from Mr. Evan W. Stebbins, Real Estate Manager, Centex Corporatim , stating that the construction of pavement, curbs and gutters and storm drainage has been completed on Gaylord (formerly known as Howard) Street in the Higgins Road Commercial area They guarantee these improvements for two years against faulty workman- ship and materials and agree to provide the Village a two year maintenance bond when the Village accepts them for permanent maintenance. This was referred to the Village Engineer for inspection and recommendation. 3. A letter from the Commonwealth Edison stating that street lighting in Section 11 has been completed in accordance with an order dated June 30, 1963. 4. Notices of public hearing by the Cook County Zoning Board of Appeals under dockets 960. 962 and 971 to be heard on November 15th at the Elk Grove Municipal Building on the following parcels of property: a. Approximately 42 acres at the southeast corner of Douglas Avenue and Central Road for rezoning to permit a nursing home. - 2 - Reg. 11-2-65 b. Approximately 5 acres located on the west side of Busse Road and approximately 1660 feet south of Algonquin Road for rezoning for multi- family residendesc c. Approximately J acre on the east side of Elmhurst Road and approximately 104 feet south of Lincoln Avenue for rezoning for a business office. The foregoing were referred to the Plan Commission, A ballot to be cast by December 3rd for the election of an Executive Trustee of the Illingig Munici Al Retirement Fund was referred to the Judiciary, Planning and Zoning Committee for a recommendation as to the person for whom the Village should cast its votei At this time (9:35 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 9:40 p, m. and directed the Clerk to call the roll. Upon the roll being called the following Trustees answered "PRESENT" - Cherniek, Coney, Garrrity, Lewis, Mullen, Zettek. The Board heard the petition of Stephen Solley and John Flowers, owners of a pizza franchise business, and their attorney, Robert Moore. They have lease arrangements at the Devon Market (Devon Avenue and Tonne Road) for a pizza restaurant and an option on an adjacent building in which they wish to serve beer as well as pizza and related menu items, these two buildings have a common kitchen area but separate front entry ways. They requested a restricted liquor license for the sale of draft beer only, and said they do not anticipate a market for, or their desire to sell "hard" liquor at their proposed business establish- ment noted above. They stated they have no objection to payment of the full liquor license fee. A liquor license applicatim will be mailed to the above petitioners. President Pahl said he would like to meet with the Board so they may consider some thoughts that he has on this petition. Trustee Coney said that following his inquiry as to Federal Aid, President Pahl and Mr. Gilbert of the Citizens Advisory Committee have given him literature on this subject and it appears that the Village is entitled to as much as 50% of the cost of and development (landscaping, walks, lighting, etc. ) of land for public parks in conjunction with a comprehensive planning program. President Pahl said that this will be kept in mind as the planning progresses. 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 meeting adjourned at 10:08 p. m. Eleanor G. TF/p& Village Clerk gPPR WED: Jacks D.
