President Gibson raised the question as to whether or not this entire area was
dedicated to the Village. Mr. Evan Stebbins, Real Estate Manager, Centex
Construction Company, said that 83 feet from a center line of Higgins Road
ihad been dedicated for the entire area between Wildwood Road and the eastern
boundary of the Helgeson' s Shell Service Station at the SW corner of Higgins
I� and Arlington Heights Roads.
President Gibson recommended that the Village pay only for improvement of that
portion lying between Ridgewood Road and the extension of the western boundary
Iof lots 2, 3, 4, etc. , on the west side of Forest Lane.
It was moved by Trustee Dillon and seconded by Trustee Keith that the Board
'i authorize an expenditure for the purpose of resurfacing and extending curbs
land gutters from Ridgewood Road to the extension of the western boundary of
lots 2, 3, 4, etc. on the west side of Forest Lane. (During discussion on
the motion, it was understood that Centex Construction Co. will pay for the
improvement, curbs-gutters-resurfacing, from the extension of the western
boundary of lots on the west side of Forest Lane to the main entrance to the
shopping center; and that the total cost of the entire improvement would not
exceed $3,000.00. ) The President directed the Acting Village Clerk to call
the roll on the moti:)n and upon the roll being called the following Trustees
answered "AYE" - Dillon, Hartshorn, Keith, Smith, Zettek; "NAY: - none; _
j 'ABSENT" - Young. Whereupon the President declared the motion carried.
It was moved by Trustee Dillon and seconded by Trustee Zettek that the Board
I approve the hiring of Mr. Tom Rettenbacher, who was unanimously approved by
the Building Committee, as Building Inspector, salary not to exceed $6,800
per year, starting August 1, 1962.
President Gibson stated that he considered the above action premature and
ill advised and that he felt it unnecessary to have two full time building
inspectors in the Building Department, that there are no more than. 16 industrial
plants under construction at any one time and that two inspectors would provide
as much as five hours daily inspection per plant. President Gibson called on
Mr. Frank Scharringhausen for confirmation of the authority of the Building
Department that a contractor may not proceed with any work until the Building
Department has inspected and approved that work, as for example, examination
of foundation excavation before the cement is poured.
It was moved by Trustee Zettek and seconded by Trustee Smith that the above
motion be tabled until the next regular meeting. The President directed the
Acting Village Clerk to call the roll on the motion and upon the roll being
