President Oibson reported as follows.-
111. We have received an invitation from Mr. W. T. Mott, Chairman of the
DAMP ?Dater Commission, to work out an agreement with the Commission
for our present and future water supply requirements.
The Commission now is considering applying to the City of Chicago
for the purchase of water for its members. Such an agreement would
include Elk Grove Village, should we so desire.
I recommend that the Board authorize the investigation of our entering
an agreement with the DAMP Commission.
I T:
2.. We have received two reports from the American Public Works Association,
which I refer to the Streets and Parks Committee.
I request an opinion from the Committee as to the advisability of our
,joining this Association.
`I 3. As there are some procedural matters concerning sanitary sewer facilities
which require attention, I recommend a meeting of the [:later & Sewer
Committee, :Tames Clementi, Robert Takazawa of Elk Grove Engineering
and the Building Department at 10:00 a.m. Saturday, at the Municipal
Building."
It was moved by Trustee Dillon and seconded by Trustee Lewis that the Board

With the permission of the Board, President Gibson deviated from the agenda

Board regarding a variation from the Sign Ordinance.
There being no objections, Mr. Chesler then presented a sketch of the proposed
sign to be erected on the south side of Higgins Road between the Shell gasoline
service station and the entrance to the Park 'n' Shop. This sign reads as
i follows: "Elk Grove Bowl - Billiards - 40 Lanes - Restaurant - Cocktails"
and has a panel at the bottom of the sign for names of 15 stores or shops
located in the shopping center. (This sign, it was noted by Pair. Chesler,
would require a variation in so far as the distance from an existing sign, and
' the proposed sign does not in the strictest sense, advertise the shopping
center as a whole, as required by the Sign Ordinance.) The Board agreed to
ftake this request under advisement.

if the Board is agreeable to such an arrangement, the cost of which will be
X100 per day for engineering work and 530 per day for stenographic service
