Trustee Malonek reported that he has completed his investigation regarding the

Grove Village and he stated he will have a written report on the results at the
regular meeting of July 16th.
Following is a transcription of the sound tape of that portion of the meeting
dealing with the proposed joint venture of the Village Board and School District
59 Board:
Trustee Zettek: I would like to report on the meeting that we had with School
District 59 last night with regards to the joint venture and recreation build-
ing of the school. Last night we had a meeting and those who were present from
the Village were Trustees Dillon, Keith, Lewis, myself and Mr. Majoros, from.
School District No. 59 were Dr. Bardwell and School Board members Bruba'-::r
Bernstein, their business manager, Mr. Mann,and the two members of the School
Board whose names have escaped me., (Mrs. Hofer and Joseph Schefter) So those
were the ones present to the best of my ability to recall who was there, but
1 the meeting lasted from approximately 8:15 to 11 :30 p.m. at night and to try
and relate back in detail all the areas we went into and some of those that we
had some differences of opinion over and others which we readily agreed to
would take far too long and I probably couldn't relate it that accurately.
One of the things that we did accomplish is that Attorney Hofert, representing
the Village, and Attorney Hines, representing the School Board, are now in the
process of drawing up an agreement, so to speak, as to what would be binding
on each of the parties. The other area which took up a great more time was an
agreement by the two bodies as to what each would be, bound by financially
with regard to the erection of the school building and the recreational facilities. '
The outcome was that the School Board would finance the joint venture at a cost
of .$196,164.00, and that the Village would be obligated for a sum of X44,591 .
- 1 - Reg. 7-2-64
• •
Now as I say, these figures weren't arrived at just in a matter of a few
minutes, there was a great deal of discussion.
To go back a little bit, at one time the Village Board was obilgated for
;p52,000 and the School Board was obligated for ; 177,000. and then this was
contingent on the fact that they would buy from the Village the 2 acres
immediately behind the Village Hall and some 2- acres from us over on Elk Grove
Boulevard. Later it proved out that Centex would rather in turn take over again
the 2 acres behind the Village Hall and give to the Village the 5 acres at
Elk Grove Boulevard and Ridge. So as a result of this, .;0412,000. had to be paid
directly by the School Board to Centex for the 2 acres behind the Village Hall.
So in turn, that reduced the obilgation on the part of the Village, so to speak,
down to A0,000.,so we were then speaking about the School Board financing the
venture at a cost of .x177,000. and the Village Board ; 40,000. Now the ..figures
that we have come up with are that the Village Board will pay X44,591 .00 or
•x4,591 .00 more than we had anticipated as of a few weeks ago, while the School
Board will pay the difference between $196,164. and .x177,000. Now the way we
arrived at this was that the bid on the contract rather than coming in et
;5217,000. after all these figures were predicated, came in at 4�234,990. ,plus
alternates, so we had to talk about what alternates we would decide we would
want and we did. We arrived at five alternates and then we futher arrived that
this would be split equally by the School Board and the Village Board, the cost
of the alternates. This is again the way we came to the X44,591 , and -5196,164. .
Now we were concerned about other things: (1 ) that the Village will lose a door
that would close off the multi-purpose room, a door that we had estimated would
cost about ;562000. . This has been removed from the building. The School Board
will remove or omit meal storage cabinets as well as wood storage cabinets and
this amounts roughly to about $1 ,500. or .4*041 ,600., so there was an equal releasing,
so to speak, to some of the things we want in the building. Now on further
discussion it was agreed that in the event there were any additional expenses
occured because of change orders as the building is being erected that the
School Board would obligate themselves to pay the entire cost, any additional
expenses that might occur as the building is being erected. In the event of
any credits that might occur or there might be lesser monies expended this will
be split between the School Board and the Village Board. So if we were in fact
to save ten dollars each of us would get 15.00, if in fact that there were ;510.00
more in cost involved this would be taken care of entirely by the School Board.
We got into the area of who was going to pay the architect's fees. The architect's
fees will amount to close to ;046,000. . In the initial discussion, as it. started
off would be that the Village Bcard would have paid some ;52,675. and the School
Board some 43,341 . . After much discussion it was agreed that the School Board
would incur the entire expense of the architect's fees. So they are picking
up close to :;56,000. architect's fees and they are picking up again any additional
cost incurred as the building is being erected.
The other area that we also talked about was the cost of this door, •;56,000. , which
is the figure we have arrived at. Now if it should happen that the architect
comes in and says, 'Well this door in fact does not cost :x6,000. but rather
. 3,000., ' here again the School Board will pick up the additional monies that
they thought would be reduced by letting out the door. In other words they are
assuming that 06,000. less will be paid for the building because of the o,misslon
of the dividing doors . If in fact it only amounts to say e'0 ,000. , they will in
_ turn provide the additional difference of ; 5,000. , so they pick up any difference
between the X62000. that we estimate and any lesser figure.
I don't know really much more that I can comment on. It might be better: if
there uere any questions that anyone would want to raise or if any of the other
members who were there, any comments- you might make.
Trustee Dillon: I think you might throw in that the additional four or five
thousand dollars we have to come up with would be lent to us by* the School District.
Trustee Zettek: Yes. The other point that was raised, and as you can tell by
the length of the meeting, we did everything and within we thought was
reasonable in our ability to negotiate to keep the figure at $40,000.00.
-2- Reg. 7-2-64
At the end of the meeting we did think it was fair that the Village would
obligate themselves to the additional ;x.4,591 . . Again we were concerned about
our budget, so at this time. the School Board said, 'Well, if because of 14,591 .
this whole ventdre might very well be stopped, be prevented from going ahead
with it' , they said, 'we will loan you the ,„4,591 . at no interest to be payable
at May. 15th of next year: ' So this is another thing, if we so wish can take
them up on. I do think that based on the fact that we are getting most every-
thing that we had wanted in the building, in fact some additional things that
we had not contemplated in getting, the fact that the School Board is willing
to, incur any additional expenses and to split any additional credits, the fact
that they may very well have to pay additional money if the door does not
come out of -;?6,000., the door that we are going to remove or the folding
partition door, the fact that they are going to pick up architect's fees at
some ;P6,000., I do think that they are being more than fair. I say this after
2' to 3 hours of talking to them. I think that they are being fair and it
would be my recommendation and I would make a motion but I'll hold off making
a motion,in case there may be some questions) that we do incur an obligation of
A4,591 . . Before I make the motion there may be comments by others that were
there.
Trustee Lewis: I think it is worthy to mention Chuck (Zettek), that the Village
is receiving a building that is worth approximately $55,000 to 1x56-,000-. which
is a considerable amount of building if you cost it out in a square foot basis.
Trustee Mullen: When the line is drawn, I think this was my question, just what
are we getting for the $44,600? When the line was drawn separating our property
from the School District property, that portion of the building that is on our
property will amount to roughly .; 56,000..
Trustee Zettek: This is as we costed it out, making it so to speak on '-square
footage and what have you.
Trustee Mullen; Sounds like you made a good deal.
' Trustee Zettek: Well, I think it is a .good thing for the children of the Village,
good thing for the park program, I'm sure of that, and I think, in all honesty,
it benefits both the School Board and the Village Board. The School Board is
certainly gaining many things, many advantages and saving money in going into
this venture. We, I think, are saving money and being in the position to provide
some recreational activities much sooner than we may have contemplated or hoped
for, by making this joint venture. If there are no questions, again I would
remind you that Ed (F6fert) and Attorney Hines are drawing up an agreement.
There are some 12 points, are there not Ed?
Attorney Hofert: Yes .
Trustee Zettek: Would you want to remark, comment on some of those, Ed?
Attrrney Hofert; Well, I think basicly the first part, Mr. Hines wrote me a
letter, as we discussed previously, then we went through in detail as to the
various points, a definite and definitive amount of property will be conveyed
to the School District. The line of this property is such as to go, to follow
the line of the walls of the multi-purpose room. Also the contribution that
was talked about and finally tentatively agreed to was the amount of .;;[,4,000.
as heretofore discussed. The question of lease-backs, they to have the use of
facilities which we are providing funds for, for certain school periods of the
day and we are to take over not only the multi-purpose room but about 8 or 9
subsidiary rooms which are allied and part of the program over there, including
the washrooms, storage area, etc. . These will all be provided. The lease
will run for a period of 10 years for the use of the facilities, their facilities
and vice versa, 10 years for the use of our facilities. The management of the
building will be in the control of four persons, two to designated by the
Village and two to be designated by the School District. The gas, heat and
light for the building will be paid by the School District, as well as custodial
services except for the summer period beginning through June, July and August,
during which time we will pay the school to compensate them for custodial
services for this portion of the building.

Trustee Zettek: I think one thing is, you can comment cn more intelligently
t-an I, is that in the event either party wants to buy the other out, the
agreement we reached there:
Attorney Hofert; In the event that either party would wish to sell, they have
a duty to make an offer to the other municipality to sell to them and they in
turn have the right to purchase at a price equal to the historical price or the
cost price of what they have in it and what has been added to it. The land
will be given an arbitrary amount or figure of $6,000. per acre so either
pz:.rty would have the duty before they sell their part of the property to some-
one else, to offer on the basis indicated.
Trustee Zettek; I think this will be a tremendous advantage to the Village
because I think, history will prove that in a given amount of years the School
District will not need that building for educational facilities and we will
be able to purchase it and Embelish upon the recreational facilities there and
we will do it at the construction cost of the building now, plus the '6,000.
per acre.. Where wouldn't be as is usually the case, the land going up in value
and in replacement value associated with the building, so this agreement that
is going to be there will prove to be advantageous to the Village.
Trustee Zettek: I would move then that the Board authorize an expenditure
of .;44,591 . said funds to be the Village's obligation toward the recreational
facilities to be put in the erecting of a recreational and school site in an
area approximating Elk Grove Boulevard and Ridge Avenue.
Trustee Dillon: Second .
President Gibson: You've heard-the motion and the second. Is there discussion?
President Gibson; I have the following statement to make regarding the joint
Village Board-School District #59 venture:
I believe that the making available of school property by the School. Board for
various Village functions and affairs is commendable. This policy follows the
practices by School Boards elsewhere in the County.
As a member of the Plan Commission and recently as Village President I have
been happy to cooperate with the School District in the planning for school
facilities and in requesting the developer to locate school sites adjacent
to park sites, so the schools would have the advantage of more play area.
One of my first acts as President was to negotiate, with Trustee Keith, an
arrangement whereby the Oasis Trailer Park would contribute to the Schciol
District for any undue burden imposed by excessive school enrollment emanat-
ing from the Park.
Therefore, it is with no ill-will that I say that it is my opinion that the
proposed joint venture is poorly advised.
Such a joint operation will produce jurisdictional and responsibility pro-
blems that will continue as long as the joint ownership is in effect.
The space for which the Village will pay approximately $50,000 will be available
for nori-school purposes for only a limited period of time throughout the day
and the year.
I have no opinion as to whether or not the Village needs a recreation center.
I believe the Residents should have the privilege of deciding if we are to
have one.
It is my opinion that this proposition should be put to a referendum. Such
referendum would be whether or not to build a recreation center which could
be used throughout the day, all year long.
I assume that such a structure would cost in the neighborhood of $100,000.
However, if it is the judgment of our Residents that a center is desireable, it
should be theirs and theirs alone, for their use during all reasonable hours.
-4- Reg. 7-2-64
Trustee Zettek: Weld the only comment I would make, Jim, is the fact as you
point out, it might very well take $100,000, to build this so-called recrea-
tional building and I would, just for sheer mathematics of it, we are getting,
what I think,is an excellent facility at-a far lesser cost than $60,000.
Flzrther the recreational facilities that are going to be over there, we will
use it more than the School Board, based on our figure we discussed yesterday.
We judged that we would utilize it some 1900 hours whereas the School District
would only use it some 1,000-hours; so we will have use of it very nearly
double the amount of time that they will. As there to being. some
dispute, I have the utmost faith in the agreement that we are drawing up which
will reduce any disputes of this nature, plus the fact that I just have to have
the faith in thesuc.ceeding members who are going to be on these various bodies,
School Board and Village Board to negotiate any problems that may come up in
the future that are not covered by the agreement that is going to be signed.
I think we have an obligation to provide recreational facilities and I think
this has been an excellent opportunity for us to do so. Certainly I would much
rather see a $100;000. building and I would much rather see it owned e:cclusively
by the Village. I think at the present time this is not the way we want to go,
both on the Village Board and I seriously doubt whether a referendum would be
approved. So it's just my thought that we 're doing this with less funds than
would be suggested by your referendum and the fact that it' s going to be
tremendously advantageous to the children, the youth in the Village.
President Gibson: When you say that the referendum would be defeated, the
proposition would be defeated, then I wonder of the wisdom of the Board's
taking action of this type.
Trustee Dillon: The only comment I would have is that this type of arrangement
or something similar to it has been used and tried in many areas, as close as
-Mount Prospect and Park Ridge.
President Gibson: This specific type of arrangement?
Trustee Dillon: Similar type, I said.-!'Ihen I take from your statement(Gibson),
and I think it is a step in the right direction, looking forward to more
schools and more parks in the area where something of the same nature can be
had at a savings to the tax payer, because regardless whether the School Board
puts it up or the Village Board puts it up it comes out of one person's pocket,
Johnny Jones who sits out here, and I gather from your statement that you are
implying, looking into the future, that we never want to get into anything like
this with the School District, that we'll build all the recreational facilities
in the Village. '
President Gibson: Well, when you say similar I would like you to be more
specific. Mould you cite the exact type of joint ozmership?
Trustee Dillon: No, I am not going to quibble words with you tonight, Jim.
iI am just saying that School Districts and Park District have joined together
in the common use of facilities on a lease-back arrangement or something
similar.- Ed can explain it better than I do because he is more familiar i-;ith
it. So I'*m not going to quibble over definitions and words. I think it`s an
excellent idea and I would have to concur 100% with anything Mr. Zettek has
said so far.
Trustee Zettek: The other thought, Jim, is that you said that I have said thi-c.
the referendum might possibly be defeated. I don't know as it would. I thi.nl:
there is certainly a possibility that it would be defeated and i don't know
that if in defeating the referendum, if it were defeated, that it would
necessarily be that the Villagers would be saying "We don't want recreational
facilities". T.hey might be saying "We don't want to incur any additional costs
at this time". And again I remind you that since the incorporation of this
Village we have had very little in the way of recreational facilities. Just
from what I have been able to see of the program of this year and what we had
last year the Village has made tremendous strides and this will be another
venture in going forth and having a better program. Maybe the referendum would
go and be approved by the voters and then again it might be defeated by the
voters. I don't know. The fact remains that we are getting something now at
I a far lesser cost than it would cost the Village through a referendum. This
has advantages to the Village right now and it has ite advantages to the School
Board, I.t"s advantageous to both bodies and just to me its something I don t
-5- Reg. 7-2-64
think we could intelligently pass up.
Trustee Dillon: A notice was supposed to have gone out this week announcing
the registration for the summer park program. It did not go out last week,
its being sent out this week, in fact it may have gone out today. There was
a notice in the paper, but as a result of this, even on an extremely hot day,
we had over 500 children registered for the summer program, so there is a need
- for it.
Trustee Zettek: Without proper publication.
Trustee Dillon: Without publication.
President Gibson: Well, I'm not debating the need for it.
Trustee Dillon: I question your method of raising the money.
Trustee Keith: I think we ought to remember that when this Board opposed the
formation of a Park District, one of the reasons that we gave was that we did
not feel that the Residents should not have any additional taxes imposed upon
them. We are providing this additional facility without any increase in taxes
which was a part of our original program, an idea for a recreational program,
and I think what we are doing is within our promises at that time.. I think by
turning around and asking the people to vote for more taxes, as you proposed,
would be a change about, turn about.
President Gibson: No, I merely say let the Residents decide what they want,
just as they did on the park district issue.
i4 Trustee Zettek: Well, if you are saying, Jim, let the Residents decide whether,
which unfortunately it can't be done, whether they would want us to enter into
this kind of an agreement, that would be one thing, but you're saying let them
decide whether they want a $100,000 debt incurred by the Village or a $40,000
debt.
President Gibson: I'm no architect, I just assumed this figure for purpose
cf discussion.
Trustee Zettek: There is a $60,000 difference here. I have no doubt in my
,I mind that if you had a referendum for $40,000 it would be approved ten to one,
but when you speak about $100,000, an additional debt to the Village and in
turn to the Residents, then you have another thing to look at. To me again
it is two different things, it's as different as black and white.
President Gibson: Well, to get back to Dor. Keith's point, and also collatorally
to yours, by the spending of this money,this in effect is an increase in tares
because by the not spending of the money there could be a reduction of taxes,
Trustee Dillon: This is your assumption.
President Gibson: Well, I know of no magical source for this money.
Trustee D4ullen: Well, let me, most of my comments have been knocked out, I
have just one and that is concerning, I think you mentioned the hours of
operation. I think this is one of the big benefits that this joint venture
is going to produce in that the children would be in school all day and if
rte` we built our own building, would it be used during school hours. I think
not. And just the time when the children are not in school, it would be
{' available. In addition, this not being our building all by itself, we don't
i have to incurr the cost of the heating plant, the electrical distribution system,
nor are we furnishing the maintenance for. it.
i
President Gibson: &,cept for 3 months.
Trustee Zettek: The maintenance for 3 months is the custodian, and we control
the hours of the custodian. If we can maintain that building just by having
a mop-it-out for one hour per day, this is all we are obligated to do. The
School Board will pick up the cost of the lighting, and of course I guess
heat is out of the picture, but if there were any heating to occur during the
summer months, they would pick that up. So it will be a very minimum of cost
-6-
Reg. 7-2-64
as far as custodian service is concerned during the summer months. The thought
is that we might very well utilize some of the directors and some of the young-
sters we're hiring in this. program, to'help us out but we're going to have a
minimum of custodian expense during those three months.
President Gibson: This may be a question of semantics, but whatever we are
going to call this room or this building or whatever, I certainly have no
contemplation that this is a-facility that is limited to school age children.
Trustee Zettek: It is not.
President Gibson: I am under the impression that there are a number of
organizations in town, the Women's Club, the Nurses, the Women's Auxiliary
and so forth, that have no place to .hold.-their meetings.
Trustee Zettek: Well, this will not be relegated only to school children.
President Gibson:. Well, I think that they might have a difficulty between
the hours of nine and four in having any meetings in that room.
Trustee Zettek: Well, we have it every evening, all evenings, all during the
year.
President Gibson: Nine and four I said.
Trustee Dillon: I don't think they meet in those hours anyway, Jim.
Trustee Keith: I'm not familiar with any that meet during the day.
President Gibson: There is always the question of availibility, too.
Trustee Zettek: The availability of the multi-purpose room and the adjoining
combination-canteen room and the art & crafts room, and during the summer months,
these additional nine offices, so to speak, will be determined by the Village
Board and the Park Director and, it was out thought, the Village Administrator.
The School Board will never interfere in our assignment of time in that build-
ing. The only time they have asked to use it is during school hours and if
they should have some function, say a P.T.A, where they would want to use that
facility, then they will come to us and ask if they may use it.
Trustee Malonek: I would like to point out one thing. I basically don't
approve of joint ventures such as this and the reason I don't approve of it
is this: there are countless areas where problems can arise, irrespective of the
fast that Attorney Hof ert and Attorney Hines is going to look into this. I can
see all sorts of problems which can occur. On the other hand I think that
the .need and the desire for recreational facilities and the promise of this
Board to the community for recreational facilities in the future, I think we
should proceed.
President Gibson: Other comment?
Trustee Keith: I think that we also ought to point out that this particular
site is extremely convenient to the Village and the general recreational area
of the Village. If this were-out in some area which was not easily accessible,
why I might feel differently, but I feel this is in a very good area for such
a venture.
President Gibson: But the site would not.change under either the municjPa.11:r
controlled building or this joint venture.
Trustee Keith: No.
President Gibson: Geographically it stays in the same place. I think we agree
to that.
-Trustee Keith: Right.
President Gibson: Other co=eut?
Trustee Lewis: None.
