0 -66 -12 to parking in the B -2 Central Business District,
a letter was received from Mrs. Florence Winship,

the Deerfield Commons, as well as several other lots, were presently in violation.

steps to insure compliance.

be mutually advantageous to the Fire District and the Village to consider the
construction of a combined or adjoining buildings for the Police and Fire

the enlargement of the present building. The Board concurred, and the manager
was directed to write to the Fire Commissioners explaining the necessity for
immediate enlargement of the Police quarters and expressing appreciati:bn for their
thoughts about a cooperative building program.

be•rfiade.by-JAr. Valenti for connection to the sewer with stubs installed
to their property lines without cost to them. Mrs. F. G. Hastings, 601
Wilmot Road, stated that Mr. Engelhard had retalRey the right to reimburse-
ment despite the sale of his property, and asked tRe developer be required

ship in this matter. Decision was made that Trustee Schleicher's comments
be given to the Village attorney and.manager for their review and report
at the next meeting.

no hardship to the local scavengers, since they will use the Milwaukee
Avenue landfill.
Northbrook's official jurisdictional. area map is available for
inspection. Correspondence from the Sister City association has been
forwarded to the Deerfield Sister City Committee.
