As requested by Trustee Schleicher, a Statement of Policy was presented
and read affirming the character of the Village as a residential community
of homes, setting forth objectives to implement the policy, and designating
the west and south future boundaries to be established at the Toll Road.
Trustee Schleicher said he felt the policy of the Village should be clearly
stated as a guide to the several advisory boards and commissions. President
pro tem Wetzel suggested the matter be taken up in one of the private
meetings being held -to discuss pending problems, in which at this stage the
Board is attempting to define and delineate between matters of administration
and policy. He said he felt with so many ddvisory boards and commissions it
would be well to have written statements of policy so advice and specific
matters would be rendered in conformance with established policies.
A report was received from Mr. Robert Ramsay, Chairman of the Parking
Committee, recommending that land for parking be acquired in the southeast
quadrant of the Village. Copies of the report will ge given to the Board
of Trustees and the Plan Commission, and discussed after review.
A letter was received from the Lake County Civil Defense organization
asking the Village to oppose moving the State Civil Defense department foom
Chicago to Springfield. It was the consensus of the Board that the Village
should take no action on this request.

Trustee Schleicher reported he and a group of residents had met with
owners of the R.C.A. tract and Soil Testing Laboratories. He stated the owners
had indicated they might consider annexation under a higher zoning classifi-
cation than Manufacturing. He proposed that further negotiations be undertaken
as protection for the vacant property to the west between Pfingsten Road and
the Volkswagen tract. The President pro tem said he would like to see the
highest possible classification on these tracts. The Board approved Trustee
Schleicher's proposal that members of the Board meet with the owners of the
properties and a regresentative from the Village attorney's office to discuss
the matter. Trustee Schleicher will arrange a meeting and Trustees Wetzel and
Schleicher will attend. Other Board members will be notified of the time
and place in order they may attend if possible.
