Mr. George L.& Majoros) Village Administrator, gave a report, a copy of which
is attached hereto and made a part hereof:
Regarding item #2j a meeting was scheduled for Monday evening, November 23rd,
instead of Tuesday, November 24th.
Mr. Majoros said that the upgrading referred to in item �6 of his report `I
involves additional street lighting at the northeast dorner of Arlington Heights
Road and Kennedy Boulevard and in front of the rectory at Elk Grove Boulevard
and Kennedy Boulevard. Mr. Sietz of Public Service also suggests that mercury
vapor lamps rather than incandescent be used and that the lights at the corners `
of Creighton, Eden, Lonsdale and Brantwood,where they intersect Kennedy Boulevard, 1
be replaced with the mercury vapor lamps. Trustee Dillon suggested that additional
lighting be installed at the intersection of Landmeier Road and Fleetwood Lane.
Mr. Majoros reported that Chief Jenkins has requested approval of the necessary
expenditure to send Sergeant Nebergall to the Scientific Investigation of
Crime Seminar January 4th through January 15, 1965.
It was moved by Trustee Zettek and seconded by Trustee Mullen that the Board
authorize an expenditure of :P375.00 (ip'175.00 for tuition and X200.00 as advance
toward expenses) for the purpose of the attendance of Sergeant H. Nebergall at
a Seminar on Scientific Investigation of Crime sponored by the Southern Police

declared the motion carried.
Mr. Majoros also reported that he has received an offer of 1.'?05.00 from Mr.
Wayne E. Runk for the Village's two used salt spreaders. The hest trade-in
value offered, when bids were accepted on two new spreaders, was ;75.00 for the
two. When questioned as to the legality of selling property without publishing
a notice of the sale, Attorney Hofert said he would check the Illinois Revised
Statutes.
Following discussion of item #1 of Mr. Majoros' report, President Gibson requested
that he and Mr. Majoros be given the authority, based on the recommendations
of Layne-Western Company and Village Engineer Fletcher, to take whatever steps
are necessary to get the well commissioned.
It was moved by Trustee Zettek and seconded by Trustee Mullen that the Board

VILLAGE ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT
NOVEMBER. 19, 1964
i
i
1, The Layne-Western Company completed the removal of the rental pump at
the Hotpoint Well this morning and discovered that an additional 17
feet of sand had entered the well since it was last tested about ten
months ago, making a total of 91 feet. The Company reported that the
well efficiency is the same now but that an additional 20 feet of sand
could affect the yield per foot of drawdown. I instructed them to be-
gin bailing this afternoon to determine first of all if the sand is so
crusted as to require drilling and secondly if it is not crusted to
estimate the time required to complete bailing based on the amount re-
moved during the afternoon. The firm's president will report his
findings to the Village President and myself at a meeting tomorrow
morning.
2. Representatives of the Centex Company from Dallas will meet with the
Building Department, the architectural firm handling our plan review
and myself at 9:00 A.M. , Monday, November 23rd, regarding the proposed
' adoption of the Suburban Building Official' s Conference Building Code,
March 1964 Edition by the Village. We have tentatively set Tuesday
evening, November 24 as 'the time for a meeting with the Building and
Public Property Committee.
i 3. The Endurance Paving Company has experienced difficulty in getting more
than two plows to fulfill its contract award for snow removal service.
The company also wants a $1,000 minimum guarantee for the season for
these two trucks with plows. Last winter, which was considered re-
latively mild, the Village paid over $2,100 for four trucks. Conse-
quently the minimum can probably be met without difficulty. The h4ilburn
Brothers Company still has its two trucks available according to its
bid. I recommend we split the contract for snow plowing service between
these two firms. Endurance Paving will supply ttiro 6 wheel trucks at
$13 per hour to be used primarily in the industrial zones at the $1,000
minimum guarantee and Milburn Brothers two 4 wheel trucks at $12 per
hour ($13 between 6:00 P.M. and 6:00 A.M. ) .
��•• 4. Arrangements have been made with Mr. Benson, Division Sales Manager of
the Pepsi Cola company to supply Diet Pepsi for the open house on Nov-
ember 28, 1964. Our only cost will be for paper cups and ice. Esti-
mated cost for coffee and Pepsi including percolator rental, crew:- ,
j sugar, hot and cold cups and ice should not exceed $30 based on an es-
timated attendance of 1,000 people.
I 6. Mr. Seitz from Public Service Company is working on alternative plans
for new street lighting at the Salt Creek Bridge on Kennedy Blvd. He
is also preparing an estimate to upgrade the present lighting on Kenned-v
Blvd. from and including the intersection of Arlington Heights Road to
the Bridge. These plans should be available for your consideration next
week.
7. The Traffic Engineer of the Chicago office of the State Highviay Depart-
ment has promised to make a traffic survey at the corner of Land-meier
Road and Busse Road in the next week or two to determine the extent of
turning movements. The study will indicate if construction of stand by
turn lanes will alleviate the problem. He also indicated to me and in
a letter to the Industrial Park Association that only State Policemen-
are
olicemenare authorized to operate traffic signals manually.
Respectfully submitted,

Regarding the complaint previously referred to:as to the wollhding of a dog by
a Police Officer, Mr; Galivan questioned the firing on the dog with very little
investigation,firing rihen. there could-be children in the area, and Mr. Galivan j
asked' if the ordnance states that a dtig should be shot on sight if running loose.
Chief Jenkins thmn ead a. report on this incident wherein he stated that the
Police Department had received three. teleplionic :complaints believed to be on 4
the. same animal. When the Police Officer.attempted to .impnund the dog on 4
November 4; 1964 the dog snapped at the officer .three times and then stayed a
distance from the Officer, making impounding impossible: When the Officer fired
at the dog there were no houses, bushes; trees,- :children or other people between
the Officer and the dog. Chief Jenkins also said that the dog in question was
a stray animal, bearing no evidende o£ ownership, inoculation or license, (This
report is on file for review in the Clerks office.)
Mrs. 3chrems, 201 Walnut Lane, said that this dog was a stray which she had
taken into her home approximately four to six weeks prior to the incident being
discussed, and he had not been outside the house until November 4, 1964, except
on a leash. Mrs. Schrems said that she thought the Village should pay for the
medical treatment to the dog which amounted to $22.50.
!
l Regarding Mr. .Galivan's question on a dog being shot if running loose, the
Board referred to him the following provision in the Municipal Code: "The
members of the Police Department or any other person in the Village are
authorized to kill any dangerous animal when it is necessary for the protection
of any person or property".
IAttorney Hofert stated that under the circumstances described, the Village is
�-- not legally responsible to pay for the damage to the dog because there is a
question as to the ownership of the dog, and the failure of the dog to have a
license at the time.
! Following further discussion with the complainants, no action was taken by the
Board.

In the absence of the Street Department Foreman, the Village Clerk read the
October 1964 report for the Street Department, and this report will be on file
in the Clerk's office for review.
I
Mr. Majoros presented the Accounts Payable Warrant and read those invoices
totaling X100.00 or more. (Itemization will be on file in the Clerk's office. )
It was moved by Trustee Mullen and seconded by Trustee Lewis that the Board
authorize the disbursement of $9,471 .73 from the Water and Sewer Department
Operating Account, �7,039.89 from the General Corporate Account, and X3.75 from
Motor Fuel Tax Fund Account, in- payment of the invoices as shown on the Warrant.
The President directed the Clerk to call the roll on the motion and upon the
roll being called the following Trustees answered "AYE" - Dillon, Lewis, Mikkelsen,
Mullen, Zettek; "NAY" - none; "ABSENT" - Keith. Whereupon the President
declared the motion carried.
i
President Gibson administered the oath of office to Mr. Gayle B. .Bantner,.rrEmber
of the Plan Commission, and to Mr. Thomas A. Garrity, Chairman of the Zoning
Board of Appeals.
Mr. .Majoros said that he has received a statement from School District 59
showing that the total contract price for the Grant Wood School and Recreation
Center is '236,965.00 and the School District .has paid $115,171 .00 toward the
contract. The Village has agreed to pay $29,503 toward the total contract, and
I the School District is now asking that the amount of X14,33$ be paid to them
which amount represents the Village's proportionate share of the X115,171 .00;
It was moved by Trustee Zettek and seconded by Trustee Mullen that the Board
authorize the disbursement of 414,338 to School District 59 as the Village's
proportionate share of the contract cost paid to date.
- 3 - Reg. 11-19-64
,
President Gibson said that he has consulted with Attorney Hofert and the Bca rd
would be better advised not to authorize this payment at this time. Mr. Hofert i
said there is a question concerning the title to the property which should be
cleared up shortly and suggested that action be held for a week or two. I
With the consent of the second, the foregoing motion was withdrawn. `{
Mi. Thomas 'Garrity gave the follo*ing report from the Zoning Board of Appeals:
