Trustee Keith and I attended the regular meeting of the Northwest Municipal Conference last Wednesday evening at Rolling Meadows Country i Club. 2. We have received a copy of an opinion by William G. Clark, Attorney General of the State of Illinois, sent us by the Illinois Municipal League. This opinion upholds the extra territorial powers of cities and villages, concerned with land use within one and one-half miles of the corporate limits, which was questioned by a recent opinion of the Staters Attorney of Cook County. 3. The Corps of Engineers has requested that a representative be I � appointed with whom liaison and coordination may be effected concerning the fallout shelter survey of the Chicago District. I designate C. D. Director James Breen to be our representative. 4. The Traffic Institute, Northwestern University, has announced a Traffic Police Administration Training Program. I request the Public Safety Committee, through our Traffic Committee, investigate this Program and report to the Board as to whether Elk Grove Village should participate in this Program. 5. We have received a report of the results of our Special Census from the U. S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of the Census. They announce that as of "November 14, 1961 we had 5,104 female j and 5,220 male residents, 2546 households with an average of 4.05 persmns per household and that the increase over the April 1, 1960 census was 3,716 persons which is a 56.2 percent increase. 6. I ask that our Aviation Committee communicate with and work closely with the corresponding committees of the neighboring communities re- garding flight patterns at O'Hare International Airport. I suggest that an attempt be made to arrive at a veeonimended` fllght pattern, such as that mentioned in the Neighborhood Section of the Sun- day Tribune of January 21, that all of the communities would agree to and would support before the Federal Aviation Agency, 7. I believe Elk Grove Village should have a municipal flag. Therefore, I recommend that a contest for the design of such a flag be conducted among our residents, with an appropriate prize for the design selected. I ask: (1) that the Public Relations Committee or,ranize such a con - test, establishing any necessary rules and how the winning design shall be determined, and (2) that the Board authorize an award of $100.00 for the winning design." i Attorney Hofert stated (1) that the Village has received $LO,000 tY e.n.. the LaSalle National Bank for tax anticipation warrants ; (2 ) j that-ta*'bill` :ofr; 4q:.Q •,has been•xeceided• . from Chapman & Cutler for ser- viceer s rendern connection with issuanace of said warrants ; ( 3) that he has been appointed to the Le':islative Committee of the Illinois Municib_ al ,I League; (4) that he has received a communication from Outdoor Advertising Company and would like to go over composite ideas of said company with members of the Board; (5) in answer to Trustee Zettek' s question, that -1- Reg. 1-22-62 11 the prosposed ordinance regarding the police pay scale, which ? as not ! as yet been drafted, will include provision for a retroactive effective date ( to February 1 ., 1962) of proposed pay increases.
