Gibson called the meeting to order at 8:12 p. m. in the Municipal Building in said Village and directed the Village Clerk to call the roll. Upon the roll being called the following Trustees answered "PRESENT"- i Francis J. Dillon, Eugene V.. Keith, Ralph A. Lewis, George E. Mullen, Charles J. Zettek, Jr.; "ABSENT" - Ralston D. Malonek. Attorney Hofert was present at this meeting. It was moved' by Trustee Zettek and seconded by Trustee Keith that the minutes l of the regular meeting of October 8, 1964 be approved as submitted 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 Attorney Hofert stated, "With reference to a request for issuance of a license for scavenger service, the matter was left (at the last meeting) that the Attorney (for the applicant) was to provide me an opinion indicating that there was a vested right for a scavenger license in the case at hand. I received a telephone call but no further facts were brought forth than were brought forth heretofore. I know of no facts through memoranda or anything else submitted to me which would indicate to me that there was a vested right. In the absence of that, it appears to me to be within the power of this Village Board, if they so choose, to pass the ordinance". Mr. George Majoros, Village Administrator, gave a report, a copy of which is attached hereto and made a part hereof. Mr. Majoros also reported that he will not have a recommendation on grouting of the water storage tank (discussed at the October 8th meeting) until the visual inspection and sounding of the void in the tank on October 16th. He said that there is a great difference in opinions as to whether the grouting is necessary or the consequences if the grouting is not done. A lengthy discussion followed among Board members as to whether or not to have the tank grouted prior to its painting. It was the consensus that the tank not be grouted. Trustee Mullen stated that he wished to discuss, in executive session, the contract which has been awarded for the painting of the aforementioned water storage tank, located at Route 83 and Touhy Avenue. It was moved by Trustee Dillon and seconded by Trustee Lewis that the Board meet in executive session following the adjournment of this regular meeting. The motion was voted upon by acclamation; whereupon the President declared the motion carried.. Trustee Dillon reported that the proposals for furnishing and planting trees, opened at the October 8th meeting, should-'be rejected because of the price. It was moved by Trustee Dillon and seconded by Trustee Lewis that the Board re-advertise for bids, to be opened at the regular meeting of the President and Board of Trustees on November 5, 1964, for furnishing and planting trees which are to be 2" in diameter except that 10% of the trees may be between 12" and 2". The President directed the Clerk to call the roll on the motion and upon the roll being called the following Trustees answered "AYE" - Dillon, Keith, Lewis, Mullen, Zettek; "NAY" - none; "ABSENT" - Malonek. Whereupon the President declared the motion carried. A discussion followed concerning item #1 of Mr. Majoros' report. President Gibson stated he was categorically opposed to the amendment because of the additional paragraph which imposes the requirement on the Village of reserving the Illinois Bell Telephone Company's easement rights on any public street or alley which the Village may vacate. 1 - Reg. 10-15-64 I :1A I I II VILLAGE ADMIkUSTRATOR'S REPORT October 15, 1964 i 1. idr. Robert Berryhill, Arlington Heights Bell Telephone Company Manager, reported that he contacted his superiors in accordance with the Board' s request of last week. The Company will not deviate from its present policy of including a street vacation-easement reservation clause in all new or renegotiated fran- chise ordinances. Accordingly, the Village has the choice of retaining the pre- sent ordinance or adopting the new amendments. In my opinion the $100 monthly credit to the Village would more than cover any future expense that might be in- curred. It seems highly unlikely that the President, all Board Members, Plan Commission, Clerk and Administrator would all forget this easement reservation provision. 2. We have received a letter from the president of Midway Industrial Painting Company requesting that he be permitted to substitute 3 coats of Phenolic Zinc Dust paint instead of one coat of primer and tt•;o finish coats of rubber base paint. He offers a reduction of $97.50 in the contract price based on 150 gallons at 65 cents less per gallon. The paint substitution would be in accor- dance with A1*1A specifications and exactly like the inside of our recently erected and painted elevated storage tank. The Village Engineer recorinends approval of this substitution. Respectfully submitted, George L. Majoros Village Administrator i It was moved by Trustee Dillon and seconded by Trustee Lewis that the Board adopt Ordinance No. 356 entitled "AN ORDINANCE AMENDING ORDINANCE NUMBER 211 , GRANTING TO THE ILLINOIS BELL TELEPHONE CCMPANY, ITS LESSEES, SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNSI­CERTAIN RIGHTS IN THE VILLAGE OF ELK GROVE VILLAGE, COOK AND DU PAGE COUNT.IES-, ILLINOIS% The President directed the Clerk to call the roll on the motion and upon the roll being called the follDwing Trustees answered "AYE" - Dilloni Keith, Lewis; Mullen; Zettek; "NAY" =none; "ABSENT" - Malonek.
