specific expansion areas for Service Merchandise, Big Boy restaurant,
Tire America, and 'a food court within the shopping center mall. Mr.

available for the expansion. The.final plan for the overall expansion
may be ready for consideration at the next Board meeting. It will

pertinent data. It was noted that minutes of a June 19 Plan Commission
meeting concerning this expansion plan had not been included in today's
request for Board action.

CABLE TV had a power outage last weekend which resulted in
suspension of cable TV service for several days. He
felt the Village should be notified by the cable company when service is
suspended in order to answer the inquiries made by residents who are
affected and cannot reach the cable company for any information. Mayor
Forrest stated the Village would contact the cable company to request
they notify the Village when there is a suspension of service.
PACE A PACE hearing held in Highland Park on June 18 was
attended by a number of Deerfield residents. There
appears to be quite.a bit of interest in the proposed bus route changes.
The League of Women Voters of the Deerfield Area are requesting the
Village to pursue the possibility of holding a hearing in Deerfield so
that route changes affecting the Village are made known and suggestions
concerning them are addressed. A good turnout from Deerfield residents
should be encouraged. The Mayor noted that he had written a letter to
PACE requesting a public hearing in Deerfield. There has been no
response to his request as of this date. .
