The Clerk reported the following correction should be made on page 2, paragraph 7, line 1 of the June 4, 1964 minutes: "Regarding the proposed annexation of the McLennan property at the southwest corner". It was moved by Trustee Dillon and seconded by Trustee Zettek that the minutes of the regular meeting of June 4, 1964 be approved as corrected; and that the Board dispense with the reading thereof. The motion was voted upon by acclamation; whereupon the President declared the motion carried. i I President Gibson read a Proclamation proclaiming the week of June 14 through June 20, 1964 as Flag Week in Elk Grove Village and requesting that all citizens and residents commemorate the 187th birthday of the American Flag by exhibiting same during said week. i I Attorney Rofert reported that during the week he received the deed to the "Hotpoint" well site and the easements, and said that they are being recorded with the Chicago Title and Trust Company. j i Mr. Hofert questioned the Board as to whether or not it wished to have title insurance in the amount of ;67,000 which is the value of the improvements and equipment on the site. The Board agreed that this amount of insurance is what they desire. Mr. Hofert also reported that he has communicated with the Attorneys representing i Chicago Magnet Wire Corporation and they are going to send a letter to the Village Board stating they have no interest in the land in question however, they want the right to run a road over and upon the easement area. Mr. Hofert stated he could see no objection to such an arrangement so long as the road would not interfere with the mains underneath. Regarding the proposed annexation of the McLennan property at the southwest corner of Devon Avenue and York Road, Mr. Hofert said that he has received the following two documents from Mr. McLennan: a Master Plan of subdivision and the Engineering drawings for Unit 1 , and he suggested that these be referred to the Plan Commission. Mr. McLennan will send other plans to Mr. Black, of Alvord, Burdick & Howson, and to Mr. Fletcher, Village Engineer. The afore-memtioned Master Plan of Subdivision and Engineering drawings for Unit 1 of the McLennan property were referred to the Plan Commission by the President. Village Administrator, George L. Majoros, gave a report, a copy of which is attached hereto and made part hereof. Village Engineer gave a summary of his written report dated June 11th on the drainage problem east of Salt Creek and south of Kennedy Boulevard. He said that this approximately 30 acres- is within a flood- plane and would require a great amount of fill if it were to be used for building purposes. It is Mr. Fletcher's opinion that the land should remain a part of the flood plane, and he recommended that it be acquired for park purposes as soon as it is financially feasible to do so. Trustee Lewis requested a deviation from the agenda for a report from Mr. Robert Negele, of Chicago Magnet Wire Corporation. There were no objections. - 1 - Reg.-6-11-64 i f Village Administrator' s Report June 2 - 10, 1964 Nay first week has been spent primarily in briefing and conferences and meetings with employees, members of Village Boards and Commissions, and Trustees to determine present operating policies and procedures. In addition I have been systematically examining files and records to acquire a background on subjects currently under consideration.. Background material on completed projects I-dll be examined at a later date as time permits. Generally I am satisfied that the Village is staffed with compe;ant and industrious personnel. . As you are all aware, however, a comprehensive position classification plan should be prepared so that in turn a pay plan providing for (a) equal pay for equal work and (b) a standard of pay necessary to attract and retain competant personnel may be prepared utilizing the classification plan_. i A specific recommendation regarding the preparation of these plans will be forth- coming. I Another special report will follow concerning recomended changes in financial record preparation and billing, and consolidation of all financial ledgers, re- ports, and records in the Village Hall. When the centralized purchasing controls are completelycentered in the Village Administrator's office the above mentioned consolidation will become a necessity Meetings attended outside the Village: 1. June 2, 1964 with President Gibson to see William Alter regarding the REALCO rezoning request. 2. June 6, 1964 alone represented the-Village at Elmwood Park Village Hall of the Suburban Municipal Council For O'Hare Field Zoning Re- gulation. Approval was given to submit jointly with the City of Chicago amendments to the Department of Aeronautics Zoning Regula- tions preserving the "home rule" powers of surrounding municipalities (including Elk Grove) to zone their own land. The hearing was held in Springfield this afternoon and since the City of Chicago now concurred in the recomendations of the Council the amendments were expected to be approved. Since the Council accomplished its original organizational purpose the membership agreed to meet only twice a year from now on or sooner if another related problem develops. Respectfully submitted George L. Majoros Village Administrator • • Mr. Negele gave a brief report on the result of their equipment testing during the past week. He stated that within the next two weeks there will be a noticeable effect as to the elimination of the odor problem at their plant. With the permission of the Board the President deviated from the agenda for a report from the Zoning Board of Appeals. Mr McGrenera, Chairman of the Zoning Board, reported that Centex Construction Company, Incorporated, has requested a continuance for 30 days on Dockets 64-12 and 64-13fpetition by the Village Board for change's in the R-2 and 7R-3 classifications) scheduled for- June 12th in order that they may have additional time to study the question and prepare a presentation for the hearings. i Mr. McGrenera read a report of Finding of Fact and Recommendation on Docket 64-5, a proposed amendment to the Zoning Ordinance providing for a R-4 Planned Residential District, stating that the Zoning Board of Appeals, having heard the testimony and reviewed the transcripts has reached the following conclusions. 1 . That the proposed ordinance lacks adequate standards for the guidance of a legislative body in approval or denial of a Planned Residential Development; 2. That it's adoption would be detrimental to the general welfare of the people of the Village of Elk Grove Village; 3. That this draft ordinance should be rejected by the Village Board of Trustees and not be considered for passage or adoption. Mr. McGrenera presented to the Board a proposed amendment (recommended by the Zoning Board) to replace the present Article XIV of the Zoning Ordinance. Also presented were recommended amendments to Sec ion 2 of Article III, Section 5 & 6 ,- of Article IX, and recommended amendments to Article V, VI, VII, VIII and IX. The foregoing report and recommendations, and proposed amendments will be on file for review at the Clerk's Office. It was moved by Trustee Dillon that the Village Board inform the Zoning Board that it has no objection to the request of Centex for a postponement on Dockets 64-12 and 64-13 with the understanding that in the interim no plats of subdivision will be accepted by the Village B oerd. This motion failed for lack of a second. Attorney Hofert said that it would appear that it is the will of the Village Board for the Zoning Board to hold said hearings as scheduled. j It was moved by Trustee Mullen and seconded by Trustee Lewis that Trustee Lewis appear on behalf of the Village Board at the Zoning Board hearings and object to any continuance of the hearings.

(The intent of the foregoing is that Mr. Lewis not offer an objection to continuance. It is not to be interpreted as a direction to not appear at the hearing.)
