declared the motion carried.
I
President Gibson read a report, a copy of which is attached hereto II
and made a part of these minutes .
President Gibson noted that Elk Grove Village and its street clean-
ing equipment is featured in the publication entitled Elgin Street I
Kings News .
The President issued a Proclamation proclaiming Sunday October 13, I
1963 as Binai Birith Day in Elk Grove Village and urged citizens
to do their part to make this 120th anniversary of the B'nai
B 'rith a memorable occasion.
President Gibson then read a statement in reply to charges made
by Zoning Board member Charles P. Smith in an article in the
October 10th issue of the Elk Grove Herald. (This statement will
be on file in the Clerk 's office . )
Trustee Keith said that he agreed with the statement of the
President but stated he did not think the Zoning Board should
have been asked to reconsider a decision rendered in Case 63-9.
The President said that he asked this reconsideration on the basis
that there was certain information apparently not brought out for
'I consideration and with this knowledge the Zoning Board might wish
to change its recommendation, rather than have the Village Board
reverse the decision.
Trustee Lewis stated that while he was a member of the Zoning
Board that no pressure was exerted on him by the Village Board
regarding opinions on matters heard before the Zoning Board.
Trustee Zettek said that no member of the Village Board has ever
tried to make "yes" men out of Zoning Board members ; and that
Mr. Smith knows that this is a fact.
I
It was moved by Trustee Lewis and seconded by Trustee Dillon that
the Board concur with the President 's appointment of the following
persons to the Zoning Board of Appeals : Lawrence J. Barrett to
succeed himself for the term ending September 17, 1968; Edward R.
Hauser, to fill the unexpired term, ending September 17, 1967, of
j Doris N. Glab; and John J. Radzis to succeed himself for the term
ending September 17, 1968. The motion was voted upon by acclamation;
whereupon the President declared the motion carried.
It was moved by Trustee Keith and seconded by Trustee Dillon that
the Board direct the Village Attorney to draft the necessary in-
struments of conveyance on the well donated to the Village by

PRESIDENT'S REPORT

OCTOBER 10. 1963 '
I
1 . We are invited to attend a "Statewide Conference on Human Relations"
at the Sherman House on Saturday, October 26th.
Those Trustees who will attend, and especially the Public Relations
Committee, should inform Mrs. Turner so she can make reservations.
2. I wish to make the following appointments to the Zoning Board of Appeals:
Lawrence J. Barrett, 959 Elmwood Lane, to succeed himself
for-the terta.endirig September 17, 1968.
Edward R. Hauser, 500 Willow Lane, to fill the unexpired term,
ending September 17, 1967, of Doris N. Glab.
John J. Radzis, 75 Forest Lane, to succeed himself, for the
term ending September 17, 1968.
I request the concurrence of the Board in these appointments.
I
j 3. I recommend that the Village Attorney be instructed to prepare an amend-
ment to Ordinance No. 302 deleting the words "such (materials or products)
as are specifically licensed by the Village of Elk Grove Village ".
The reason for this recommendation is that in our discussion with members
of the Zoning Board on Tuesday, October 8th, it was pointed out that this
phrase is confusing. Such "specific licensing" can better be handled by
j Section 6, Article XVI of the Zoning Ordinance (#20) dealing with
variations.

Honorable James Gibson
One Evergreen Street
Elk Grove Village, Illinois
Dear Mr. Gibson:
Following your inquiry regarding the well on the property
purchased by Centex Construction Company from General
Electric Company, I took the matter up with Centex Construc-
tion Company. We feel that it is most urgent that the
Village have adequate water supply for its residents, and
I
therefore, Centex is pleased to donate this well to you. I
would be pleased to meet with Mr. Hofert, the Village
Attorney, at any time to draw the necessary instruments of
conveyance.
Very truly yours,
s/ Jack N. Pritzker
Jack N. Pritzker
If the costs of placing this well in operation and connecting it with the
system are as relatively modest as the informal estimates we have received
would indicate, this addition to our water system is a great advantage to
the Village.
i
The Village should be very grateful to the Centex Construction Company
for this gift, which represents approximately $25,000 to $30,000.
I recommend that the Board take the following action immediately:
I
a. Obtain estimates of the cost of cleaning out and testing the
well, construction of a below ground vault to house the pump,
j installation of a pump and controls, and installation of mains
' to connect the well to the system.
b. Direct the Village Attorney to draft the necessary instruments
i of conveyance.
i c. Direct the Village Attorney to draft a Resolution thanking Centex
Construction Company for this gift.

of cleaning out and -testing the well, construction of a below

to bids or. this expenditure, Attorney Hofert stated that when i
dealing in services such as these which cannot be standardized,
it is not necessary to have competitive bidding; and said that
sometimes it is handled in this way: qualified people are selected
and requested to submit cost estimates and with this information
a decision is then reached as to who will do the work. The Board

pump, however, no decision was reached. Presid ;nt Gibson asked
