MWTING DATES
Following discussion, consensus was reached to cancel the
Village Board meetings scheduled on 12-9-86 and 12-23-86, and
to call a special meeting on 12-16-86.
CONTRIBUTIONS FOR VILLAGE HALL
Members decided not to accept offers of contributions for
objects in the Village Hall expansion.
DEVON AVENUE UTILITY EXTENSIONS
Trustee Tosto sought concurrence to have Staff proceed
with efforts to install water and sewer utilities along Devon
Avenue (between Carlisle Avenue and Tonne Road). Terms of
recapture were discussed. Members agreed to proceed with watermain
installation now and sewer installation after developer(s) annex
property and would be ready to proceed with construction.
Consensus was reached to include the cost of installation
of utilities across the flood plain area in the costs per acre
to be recaptured on other properties. If flood plain properties
are developed, they would be required to pay the recapture fees
and those fees would be rebated on a prorated basis to properties
previously annexed.
DESTRUCTION OF PUBLIC PROPERTY - Parkways
Parkways in the industrial park are frequently damaged
by trucks. An example on Estes Avenue was raised by Trustee
Tosto. It is difficult to witness, or fine offenders, as much
of the damage occurs at night. Mr. Willis will pursue a solution
to the problem.

TRAFFIC SIGNAL OGTAGSS
Recently, traffic signals at four major intersections were
either not working or only flashing lights during morning rush
hours. Members stated that traffic control by police officers
was either non-existent or inadequate, depending on the
intersection. Mr. Willis responded that directing traffic is
both risky and could require two persons due to the volume and
risk. As four signals were affected, it is difficult to undertake
traffic control at each. Trustee Bosslet requested a report
on Police actions taken that morning with respect to the signals.
LAND DONATION
Mr. Willis reminded members that there are two parcels
of land which the Village may wish to accept as donations. The
properties are located at: 1) Placid Way adjacent to the twelve
acres along Salt Creek which the Village maintains; and (2) south
of Arlington Heights Road along Salt Creek and the Bridge.
Consensus was to accept both parcels.
ZDOT PUBLIC BEARING - ELGIN-O'RARE R"RESSWAY
It was reported by Mr. Willis that of the two alternative
routes for the Elgin-O'Hare Expressway presented by IDOT, neither
one is routed through existing homes in Bensenville.
OARTON STREET
Trustee Hauser noted concern that the hours studied in
a recent police report on Oakton street were not during peak
traffic hours. Installation of an additional stop sign on Wildwood
was discussed.
The Federal Highway Department has not signed off on the
project. The stop sign was not warranted and cannot be installed
at this time.
