1.. . Congregate Senior Housing
The Plan Commission reviewed a proposal for a Congregate
Senior Housing Project (Dominion) to be built at Nerge and
Plum Grove Roads. At their January 22, 1986, meeting it
was apparent that the question of congregate housing for
seniors was more than a zoning determination (since the company
was asking for a variation of the zoning code) . At the meeting
-several agencies in the community expressed concerns about
such a development because they feel the impact of the develop-
on services would be significantly increased. The final
result of .the meeting was that this problem be discussed with
the Village Board of Trustees. They would in turn make the
determination as to which course the Village should take.
That meeting is being held on Tuesday, February 11, 1986, at
6:30 p.m. at the Village Hall. The Board of Health is
encouraged to attend this meeting to express their concerns
and influence the Board of Trustees that licensing of such
.facilities is very important.
2. Day Care Ordinance
The Day Care Ordinance was passed at the January 28th meeting
of the Village Board. Inspection forms will be prepared for
use by the Sanitarian and the Health Coordinator.
3. Strategic Planning
Harper College charges $1,500.00 for Strategic Planning
Sessions. The Board of Health felt this was very costly.
Lynette Swanson and Pat Bourke have attended the training
sessions for presenting such programs. Lynette has offered
to facilitate a planning. session for the Board and Pat Bourke
has offered to help her.

1. Meeting Time Change
The Board of Health discussed a change in the meeting time for
monthly meetings. Pat Bourke moved that the monthly routine
meeting time be changed from 8:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. The
motion was seconded and approved unanimously.
2. Solid Waste -
Mike Cavallini told the Board the problems of solid waste
in the north suburbs. The problem of landfills being filled
to capacity is a current problem and will continue to plague
us into the future. Solid waste is being carried further and
further and is costing much more for transport as well as
tipping fees. The NWMC Communitee's are planning the purchase
of landfill sites and are also planning the building of transfer
sites.
The plan for a transfer site is to have local scavenger trucks
dump garbage at a transfer site and having it bailed - compressed
into bails. A larger truck would then load the bails on to a
larger truck which would carry it to the landfill for dumping.
This would.cut the expense for transport and reduce tipping
fees. This is a proposed plan and is still in the planning
stages although a site has already been proposed for the landfill.
In the meantime, the current landfills are being filled very

quickly. Hopefully the plans will be implemented in the
new future, or residents will experience very high refuse
bills.
