Gibson, you are hereby notified of a Special Meeting of the President and Board of Trustees to be held at 8:00 P. M., Monday, August 3, 1964 in the Municipal Building, Landmeier and Tonne Roads, for the purpose of discussing the water sprinkling ban and authorizing a change in the water sprinkling regulations of the Municipal Code. s/Eleenor G. Turner Village Clerk" Mr. George Majoros, Village Administrator, gave the Board a report on the capacity of the three wells and two storage tanks. (The new well, d3, and storage tank are not in service as of this date.) The Board then discussed lifting the sprinkling ban as established by Ordinance No. 344 and establishing restricted sprinklinp- regulations now that the "Hotpoint" well is operating. Trustee Dillon arrived - 8:29 p. m. Mr. Majoros reported that Mr. James Clementi, Mater Department Foreman, has recommended that sprinkling be banned on Monday, Wednesday, Friday and 'Sariday and that unlimited sprinkling be allowed on other days. Board members expressed apprehension that the above recommendation would allow too great a use of the supply and not permit recovery of water to the storage tanks, and that with this type of restriction the water pressure would not be maintained at a desirable level at certain times of the day. Trustee Lewis reported that President Gibson recommended that sprinkling be permitted on alternate days (odd and even days determined by street address) from 12 noon to 12 midnight. It was moved by Trustee Keith and seconded by Trustee Mullen that an ordinance be drafted on the sprinkling ban based on the following: that the hours for 'Y sprinkling be from 1.2 noon to 4 P. m. and from 9 p. m. to 12 midnight; that the sprinkling days for persons living at odd numbered street addresses would be Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday; sprinkling for those at even numbered street addresses would be Wednesday, Friday and Sunday; and that no sprinkling be permitted on Monday. 1 - Special 8-3-64 Mr. Majoros stated that he has the outline for an ordinance and suggested that rather than a direction by the Board for the Attorney to draft an ordinance, perhaps the ordinance could be adopted by using the outline which he had. The foregoing motion was withdrawn with the consent of the second. Mr. Majoros suggested that a provision be contained in the ordinance whereby property owners with new lawns could obtain a special permit to sprinkle up to four hours every day for a period not .to exceed four weeks. Board members accepted and agreed with this suggestion.. Mr. Majoros then read a proposed ordinance incorporating the proposal suggested by Trustee Keith and the proposal for special permission for those with new lawns. It was moved by Trustee Keith and seconded by Trustee Mullen that the Board waive the first reading rule with respect to the above proposed ordinance, The motion was voted upon by acclamation; whereupon the Temporary Chairman declared the motion carried. It was moved by Trustee Keith and seconded by Trustee Mullen that the Board adopt Ordinance No. 346 entitled "AN ORDINANCE ESTABLISHING WATER SPRINKLING RESTRICTIOINS IN THE VILLAGE OF ELK GROVE VILLAGE AMENDING SECTIW 22A.701 OF THE MUNICIPAL CODE OF THE VILLAGE OF ELK GROVE VILLAGE".
