Board of Appeals to the term ending April 30., 1969. I ask the

for many years. I strongly urge that this Board adopt the
submitted,ordinance.
3. The Cities and Villages Municipal Problems Commission is considering
sponsoring a complete revision of Divison 13 of the Illinois
Municipal Code relative to zoning powers of municipalities. I
would like the Judiciary, Planning and Zoning Committee to give
me their advice on the prepared draft so these ideas can be
transmitted not only to the Municipal Problems Commission, but
the Illinois Municipal League Legislative Policy Committee.
4. I encourage members of this Board and the Plan Commission to
attend the Community Builders Council Meeting of the Urban Land
Institute in the Victoria Room of the Palmer House on the morning

VILLAGE MANAGER'S REPORT
DECEMBER 70 1965
1 . Guard Rail and Street Light
The guard rail at the intersection of Elk Grove and Kennedy Boulevards
has been satisfactorily installed by the Mid West Fence Company. The
new 20,000 lumen mercury vapor street light in front of the Queen of the
Rosary Rectory has finally been changed and the combination of lighting
and rail has substantially lessened the traffic hazard at this intersection.
2. Street Light at Arlington Heights Road and Elk Grove Boulevard
An order has been placed with the Commonwealth Edison Company to install
a new pole in the center of the Elk Grove Boulevard parkway and one
20,000 lumen mercury vapor-light on a long mast arm perpendicular to
Arlington Heights Road. If the one light does not supply the desired
coverage then an additional light can be easily installed and the angle
adjusted on both lights.
3. Commonwealth Edison Representative Visit
Mr. Richard Seitz, District Superintendent of the Commonwealth Edison
Company is making arrangements to meet with the Board on a regular
meeting night shortly after the first of the year to discuss the Company's
Service to Elk Grove Village and to answer questions.
4. Personnel Policy
The personnel policy has been retyped and distributed for your consideration.
I recommend its adoption with the sick leave and vacation benefits to be
effective January 1, 1966.
5. Clearmont Bridge Meeting
You have received a copy of a letter from Centex Corporation concerning
the proposed joint meeting to discuss the extent of the Corporation' s
financial participation in the proposed construction.
6. Well Numbers One and Two
In order to better determine what might have caused the repeated
column failures in the column pipe at well number one Suhr, Peterson,
Peterson and Suhr have recommended that a drift indicator test be
made under their direction by the Layne Western Company. This test is
scheduled for December 13, 1965, A final decision on how to proceed
with the repair of this well will be made after the test is completed.
Well mumber two on Busse Road is scheduled for overhaul by the same
Layne-Western crew after they complete the installation of the pump
at well number one sometime in January. We anticipate that some
bailing of the well will be necessary and some worn components will be
replaced,
