suggested that the Board deviate . from the agenda and consider the proposed
ordinance entitled "AN ORDINANCE AMENDING ARTICLE II CHAPTER 22 OF THE MUNICIPAL
CODE OF THE VILLAGE OF ELK GROVE VILLAGE" and that if there were any questions on
this proposal they could be addressed to the Attorney before he left the meeting.
A general discussion followed on the provisions of the ordinance, and a first

President Gibson reported that he received a telephone call today from Mr. Plummer
of the Cook County Highway Department who had read a report on the Board's
discussion (reported in the January 28th minutes) on edge striving of Arlington
Heights Road, and it seems the Board is the victim of mis-information. Mr. Plummer
said that the County does have a machine which edge-stripes and they will edge-stripe
Arlington Heights Road, and that this project will be high on their priority list
when weather permits.
Mr. George L. Majorca, Village Administrator, reported that the Street Department
Foreman and his crew surveyed the parkways in the Village and found a total of
87 trees which weredamaged in the recent ice atom. Mr. Majoros said he has
contacted three firms to get prices on the pruning and sealing of the damaged
trees. Two firms (not local) are not interested, one local firm is interested
but is busy in other areas now but indicated that the work can be delayed until
the sap starts to run which should be in a month or two. There would be a small
difference in price if the contractor did not have to pick up the branches which
are now broken and lying in the parkways. Mr. Majorca said that on that basis
he would think the Village could proceed to remove those now rather than let them
remain until the contractor comes in. Mr. Majorca said there are two other local
contractors who have been contacted but no replies have been received. However,
replies are expected within the week. The cost will be in the neighborhood of
50¢ per tree, or approximately 343.00 for the entire job.
Trustee Dillon suggested that Mr. Majorca, when he gets these prices, use his
judgment as to whom the work should be given and have them proceed. It was the
consensus of the Board that this be done.
