(At the July 22, 1997 Village Board meeting, the Village Board awarded a contract to Motorola for the purchase of portable radios and chargers from the Foreign Fire Insurance Fund. The amount of the contract awarded only reflected the cost of the portable radios. Therefore, an increase of $2, 305 is necessary to cover the cost for both the radios and chargers. (All prices secured under the contract are under the State of—Tilinois Joint Purchasing Agreement which guarantees that the Village has obtained the lowest possible pricing.

IMET is a municipal investment pool specifically designed to meet the long-term investment needs of communities. IMET was formed in 1996 by area councils of government, including the Northwest Municipal Conference and the DuPage Mayors ' and Managers Association. (The IMET investment pool utilizes long-term government backed securities which mature in periods exceeding one (1) year. This type of investment will provide the Village with greater interest earning potential than shorter term investments. (IMET invests in only those securities authorized by the Illinois Public Investment Act. The Village will utilize IMET for capital, debt service and pension fund investments. The Village's operating funds will remain in the Illinois Public Treasurer's Investment Pool (1PTIP) , which uses shorter term investments.

(This item amends Village Code to allow the Health Department to hire a private contractor to clean up private property of debris, litter and yardwaste when the property is found to be in violation of Village Code. Under the current language the Village does not have the ability to take such action, even when necessary to address public health concerns. Agenda for VB Meeting 8-12-97 5 (The Village will be responsible for paying the contracted cleaning company upon completion of the required work. Reimbursement to the Village is guaranteed through the issuance of a lien on the property owner cited for violation of the code. The Health Department currently takes similar action with respect to weed violations. (This item was previously discussed by the Village Board at the July 22, 1997 Village Board meeting. ) J) Consideration to adopt ORDINANCE NO. 2582 (attached) amending Chapter 5, Animals and Animal Control of Title 6 of the Village Code of the Village of Elk Grove Village. (This item amends the Village's Animal Control Ordinance which was previously discussed by the Village Board at the July 22, 1997 Village Board meeting. It also appears as Item 9a. under the JPZ Committee.

(This ordinance amends the Village Code to increase the fine for tampering with or damaging Village fire hydrants from $10. 00 to a minimum of $50. 00. A maximum fine amount of $500. 00 will also be established. Agenda for VB Meeting 8-12-97 6 (The ordinance was originally established in 1974, in an effort to deter individuals from illegally accessing water from Village fire hydrants. Besides fire suppression, fire hydrants are only used to provide water to a construction site and for municipal purposes. When individuals connect to fire hydrants without authorization the integrity of the Village's fire suppression system is endangered. The fire hydrants may become damaged by being opened improperly and may be left broken during an emergency. In addition, water used from those hydrants cannot be billed to a known user. (Increasing the amount of the minimum fine will provide more of a deterrent factor and limit illegal water connections. A report from the Director of Public Works, recommending approval, is attached. ) 7. REGULAR AGENDA A) Consideration of a request from Goodfriend & Associates,, Glencoe, IL (attached) for a variation from the Village Sign Ordinance to permit the installation of a single-faced, freestanding real estate sign on property located at 110 through 160 Siesterfield Road which exceeds the signage permitted by ordinance as follows: ITEM PROPOSED PERMITTED BY ORDINANCE VARIATION REOUEST£D one Freestanding 32 Sg.Ft.

In addition, Ordinance No. 2497 prohibits the installation of all temporary signage in the Biesterfield/Arlington Heights Road corridor. (Due to the fact that specific ordinances prohibiting the installation of this signage have been adopted by the Village Board, it is the recommendation of the Department of Engineering & Community Development that the variation request be denied. (A report from the Director of Engineering and Community Development is attached. ) B) Consideration of a request (attached) from Terrace Apartments, 908 Ridge Avenue, for a variation to the sign ordinance to permit the installation of a 5 foot free-standing non-illuminated identification sign which exceeds the amount permitted by ordinance as follows: ITEM PROPOSED PERATITTED BY ORDINANCE VARIATZO'J R= UESTED Sign NwMer \ 5 1 500: Sign Area 5 O 14.5 Ft' 2 Ft' Total 3,6254 72.5 F[2 Total (The total amount of signage permitted for identification signs on residential property is 2 square feet per lot.
