Regarding the panel truck owned by the Village, Trustee Young said that a check of the minutes has shown that the April 13, 1959 minutes of the Village Board read as follows: "President Hodlmair announced that he has donated a panel truck to the Village to be used to carry emergency equipment. President Hodlmair asked that he be allowed to use this truck if an occasion should arise where he would have need of a truck". Trustee Young said that the truck was then donated to the Volunteer Fire Department and they applied a Civil Defense sticker to the truck and used it for emergencies. Trustee Smith explained that at that time the Village was part of the Mt. Prospect Fire District and if the truck had been labeled as Fire Department equipment it would have been necessary to turn it over to the Fire District. (The above vehicle was referred to in a letter dated November 15, 1962 from Mrs. Ruth Helbig, Assistant Director of Civil Defense, requesting a vehicle for the use of that organization.) Trustee Young recommended that the use of the panel truck not be limited to the Civil Defense group, but that the necessary repairs be made to the truck and that it be maintained by the Street Department, housed in the garage, and made available for any Department or group when necessary in connection with Village business. There were no objections raised to the above recommendation. The Clerk reported receipt from Milburn Brothers, Inc. of the Agreement for snow removal which they have signed, along with a $5,000 performance bond, and a Certificate of Insurance which does not name the Village as one of the insured. Trustee Young said that he will contact Milburn Brothers, Inc. and have them furnish evidence of insurance naming the Village as one of the insured. The Clerk distributed copies of a proposed ordinance, prepared by Attorney Hofert, annexing property at the southeast corner of Route 83 and Devon Avenue.
