VILLAGE ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT
OCTOBER 8, 1964
1. I would .like to take this opportunity to thank the Village President and
Board of Trustees for making possible my attendance last week at the annual
conference of the International City Manager's Association held in Chicago.
Like most professional conferences sessions.' were devoted primarily to stimu-
lating thought and discussion on a variety of subjects rather than. "how to do �
it". Sessions of -particular interest to the Village that I attended included:
general sessions on ''A look at the Urban Scene" and "The Professional in
Local Government"; "programing Future Service Needs", "Planning Problems of
The Suburban City% "The Community and its Development", "Financing Urban
Services", and "The Future of Cities".
i
2. Yesterday we received the vacuum applicator sign machine and the first ship-
ment of reflective sign faces. Mr. Andrews is building a stand for the
machine and Mr. Zgonina will wire it next week. I received quotations from
four suppliersof aluminum blanks and recommend that we order 200 blanks in
various sizes from the lowest bidder, the Pontiac State Penitentiary, Pontiac,
Illinois: The total of the order is $513 plus freight;
3. Police Chief Jenkins has requested authorization and advance expenses in
the amount of $300 to represent the Village at the annual conference of the
International Association of Chiefs of Police to be held in Louisville, Ken-
tucky, October 24-29. I recommend approval of his request..
4. On September 26, 1964 at my request the Chicago Bridge and Iron Company in-
spected the ground level 1,000,000 gallon reservoir at pump house two. When
the tank was emptied for inspection of the inside surfaces a springy condition
was noted in the tank bottom. Mr. Clementi felt the deflection was as serious
as the one experienced in the twin adjacent tank some four years ago. At
that time, Centex had Chicago Bridge and Iron make a similar inspection and
they recommended the pressure grouting of the voids . The Prepakt Concrete Co.
of Elmhurst, Illinois was hired to do this work on a time and material basis
and the total bill was approximately $2,000. In a report dated October 5,
1964 the Chicago Bridge and Iron Company recommends similar grouting to pre-
vent the possibility of bottom or wall failure. The district manager of the
Prepakt Concrete Company inspected the tank this afternoon and reported that
he has a crew available next week to do this work ;on the same basis as before.
We would have to furnish two laborers and an air compressor to keep the cost
dozen to an estimated $2,300 for about four working days and 1,000 cubic feet
of concrete. I have requested the names of additional qualified concrete
intrusion contractors from Chicago Bridge and Iron Company and will submit a
recommendation as soon as possible.
Respectfully submitted,
George L.. Majoros

At the request of Mr; Majoros; Mr: Berryhill from Illinois Bell Telephone Company
was in attendance at this meeting, Mr, Berryhill then explained to the Board
that the additional paragraph proposed for the franchise ordinance is a "fort.!"
that is being inserted into all franchises as they come up for renewal in
municipalities; that its purpose is to insure that the company will be notified
of vacations of public easements and that said easements will be reserved when
such events take place. Board members explained to Mr. Berryhill that the Board
is not opposed to such a paragraph in the ordinance but they are concerned
because of possible legal complications should an oversight on the part of the
Village occur. President Gibson suggested omission of the paragraph in question
and the Village would issue a letter of intent. Trustee Zettek suggested that
a clause indemnifying the Village. against litigation should the Village overlook
reserving the company's easement rights when a street is vacated. Fir. Berryhill
said he will consult with other officals from the: Telephone Company and will
notify the Board at a later date.

r �
lease by 'Lions 'Park & -Pool' Corporation, was heard by the Zoning Board

evidence presented at the hearing, found that the requested variation
would not be detrimental to the public interest; welfare or safety,
whereupon the variation was grantedi
2. Docket 64-22, the petition of Vale bevelopment Company to rezone 141 .9
acres located on the west side of Arlington Heights Road and north of
Devon Avenue from its present R-1 to R-3, was heard by the Zoning Board
and on October 6th the Zoning Board met to consider the evidence
presented at the hearing. The Zoning Board found the request to be a
reasonable one and in the best interest of the community as a whole that
the residential development of the Village continue unabated and in an
orderly and uniform manner. Upon examination of the plat it appears
that provision has been made for an elementary school site and park site
both of which comprise more than 10% of the total development.
However, the Zoning Board questions whether or not the sale of land (tile
school site) for public. use meets the requirements of a dedication for
public use as set forth in the subdivision control ordinance, and suggested
that this question be resolved by the Plan Commission. The Zoning Board
recommended that the requested change from R-1 zoning to R-3 zoning be
granted.
The Plan Commission was requested to present a recommendation on the above-mentioned
petition for rezoning.
