Minutes of the November 12, 1985, meeting were approved.
A. Old Business
1. Day Care Ordinance - The latest draft of. the proposed Day Care
Center Ordinance was distributed to the Board of Health. JPZ
has reviewed' it and made final changes. It will be brought
to the January 28, 1986 Village Board meeting for approval by
the Village Board.
2. Low Cost Primary Care in the Northwest Suburbs, - No action has
been taken.
3. Senior Congregate Housing_ - A developer (The Property Group) is
proposing a senior citizen congregate living facility at Nerge
and Plum Grove Roads. The Plan Commission is in the process of
reviewing the plans. The Board of Health has concerns about the
influx of frail elderly into the community and what impact it
will have on Village Services.
Pat McHale and Nancy Yiannias visited a congregate senior facility
in Indianapolis, Indiana, labeled independent living. Services
of this facility were quite similar to that proposed in Elk Grove,
the difference being that the Indianapolis facility's developers
have had a great deal of previous experience in this business.
Besides a self contained apartment, the facility included the
following services: meals, linen service, housekeeping, a
minibus for transportation and 24 hour desk service which also
monitors any emergency calls from residents. It was observed by
Pat and Nancy that the residents in this facility were frail and
elderly, the average age being 80. This is definitely a popula-
tion that is at risk for becoming disabled. .
The Board of Health recognizes that guidelines need to be

established for congregate housing developments.
Pat Bourke moved that the Board of Health should send a list
of their concerns to John Glass, Chairman of the Plan Com-
missio4 regarding congregate housing developments. The
motion was seconded and passed. The following will be
included in the letter:
The Board of Health
1) is in favor of the concept of Senior Congregate
Housing to serve the elderly in the community.
2) prefers developers that have experience in this
type of development or that they hire a consultant
in the field to help them plan such a development.
3) is concerned with the need for additional services
from paramedics, home health agencies, medical ser-
vices, social services, recreational services, mental
health services and transportation.
4) would like to know the facility's alternative plan for
residents when their leases were terminated for what-
ever reason.
5) that the Elk Grove Village development has very small
dining areas.
6) that all entrances into the building have automatic
door openers.
7) that the apartments and other common areas be handi-
capped accessed (and not only the small percentage
that the state requires) .
8) that the Village hire a consultant in the field of
senior housing (Dr. Leonard Human or another) to review
the plan and be involved in setting up guidelines for
such facilities.
9) perhaps contact other cities that have had such housing
in their community for 5 or 10 years, to see if they
have had an adverse impact on community services.
The Plan Commission will have a hearing on the senior congregate
housing development on Wednesday, January 22, 1986, in the Council
Chambers of the Village Hall at 8:00 p.m. The above information
will be forwarded to John Glass and his Commission before this
meeting.
4. Health Department Activities - A report was prepared for Board
of Health Members outlining the activities of the Health Depart-
ments in Suburban Cook County plus very brief sketches on other
public health agencies. The HSA report will be put in a different
format so it will be easier to interpret.
B. Routine Reports
1. Coordinator's Report
-The Immunization schedule for 1986 has been made. There will be
5 clinics 2 months apart.
-The Flu Clinics will be held again next year. The number of
recipients has increased each year.
-The proposed Commercial Maintenance Code was reviewed by JPZ.

The committee felt that any expenses incurred by landlords
will be passed on to the tenants. Many small businesses are
marginal and could not withstand higher rents. The Finance
Director is exploring financial incentives for commercial
properties. JPZ felt it was not the time to impose a
Commercial Maintenance Code.
