development of well #3 on the basis of the Village's receiving a credit of
419,500 and the Village thereby would assume the responsibility for procuring
and installing a pump and motor, chlorination tube and water level tube.
The basis for this negotiation was that in order to meet Mr. Black's bf Alvord,
Burdick & Howson Consulting Engineers) specifications, which are over and above
those of Centex which Centex says do meet the requirements of the contract,
would require .an additional $15,000 bringing the total contract cost to 6195,000
whereas it is felt that the Village can accomplish the same end result for a total
of ;6187,000 by the Village's providing and installing the pump.

Herald for parents to notify the Village if they have children who wish to ride
on the Village's float in the State Street Christmas Parade. Trustees Dillon
and Keith, who have a child in the desired age bracket, were asked but their

i The President asked the Paddock reporter to report the reason why the Presi.de.r:tis

111 . I have been in consultation with the Village Prosecutor about the
ordinance prohibiting the dropping of trailers. There seems to be
some questions here as to whether or not posting is necessary to
establish this prohibition. Research not complete. mill report,
2. As to the question of schools and their observation of zoning and
building requirements - There seems to be considerable conflict in
the law at present, which I am seeking to go through, and have not
reached a final conclusion.
3. 'Mr. McLennan has requested an additional week for the annexation and
rezoning of his property because he still has not resolved the problem
with the one property owner.
1
.4. The question of comparing the covenants with the zoning ordinance and
building code - same is in process.

With the permission of the Board, the President deviated from the agenda and
administered the oath of office to Mr. Robert Altergott, member of the Zoning
Board of Appeals. `
Trustee Keith read from a monthly Operating and Maintenance Report for October
1964, the number of hours and water pumped at each of the three wells. The
total pumped was 42,471,600 gallons which is an increase of 5,000,000 gallons
over the amount pumped during the same period last year. He said that normal
maintenance was performed during the month.
I
In reply to Trustee Lead s' question, Trustee Keith reported that according to
the sounding taken, there is approximately 80 feet of sand in the Hotpoint well.
Layne-Western Company has bailed a total of 29 hours @ 419.00 per hour and they
have bailed 11 feet in this period of time. If the same average is maintained
it will cost another 43500 to complete the job, and the Board must decide at
this time whether or not to bail the entire well.
Trustee Lewis questioned what alternative there is and what depth is recommended
in view of the fact that the well is supposed to yield 1200 gallons per minute
and the pump will produce 850. President Gibson said that the well can be valved
off, thereby holding the sand back, but decreasing the production from the well;
and that Layne-Western would like to hold on a recommendation-until they have
bailed on Friday and Saturday and can appraise the situation. The President also
said that the Board at that time can get a recommendation from Village Engineer
Fletcher.
