A revised ordinance on swimming pools, prepared by Messrs. Bowen
and Stilphen, was taken under advisement and will be discussed at the
next regular meeting.
Re: Soil Testing The manager reported he had received
Annexation a call from Mr. Richard Houpt,
attorney for Soil Testing Labora-
tories, who had agreed to delete the paragraph in the agreement regarding
annexation costs to be paid solely by the Village, since the property
would not be involved in any Cook County Court hearing on annexation.
Mr Houpt will confirm this agreement by letter. It was pointed out
there was a question on the legal description of the property, and the
manager was directed to secure a corrected copy of the agreement with
a plat of the property, to be referred to Mr. Matthews for his review.
Downspout Disconnections The manager reported the Public
Works Department had re- inspected
premises that were introducing water from downspouts into sanitary sewers
and 19 disconnections had been completed. Decision was made that follow -
up letters should be sent to those who have not disconnected downspouts
within a reasonable time after notification, and it was suggested the
letter ask when the correction will be completed.
The manager reported the petition for annexation had not been
received from the Public Service Company, and Mr. Reeling of the Company
had stated it was the policy of the Company not to seek annexation if
other property would be forced to annex by their action. It was pointed
out only the Railroad would be affected by annexation of the Public
Service Company. Mr. Matthews was requested to discuss the matter with
either Mr. Reeling or attorneys for the company.
Crossing Guard Shelters A report was received from the
Safety Council recommending that
shelters for crossing guards, as proposed by the Lions Club, not be
constructed, giving as reasons the likelihood of vandalism, use of the
whelters as hiding places, a possible tendency on the part of guards
to direct children from inside the shelter in inclement weather, and
forcible entry of shelters for promiscuous activities. The manager
stated Chief Petersen had suggested the use of portable canvas shelters
if the Board felt protection for guards was essential. After a brief
discussion, Trustee Lindemann moved, seconded by Trustee Wetzel, that
the recommendations of the Safety Council be approved, and the shelters
not be constructed.
Motion carried unanimously.

The manager was directed to write to the Lions Club, informing them
of the Board's decision, commending them for their desire to contribute to
the Welfare of the community and thanking them, and suggesting the Youth
Council could use their aid, financial and otherwise, or the Board would be
happy to discuss other projects they might undertake.
The proposed amendment to the Manufacturing Regulations of the
Zoning Ordinance was referred back to the Plan Commission with the request
for a report, comments and date of hearing on the proposed amendment.
Resolutions Opposing Refuse A letter was received from the North
Commission Legislation Suburban Council on Refuse Disposal,
requesting support of three bills to
be introduced at the next session of the Illinois Legislature relating to
the creation of Refuse Disposal Commission,s giving powers for control of
refuse disposal facilities to the State Department of Health, and permitting
counties to cooperate with municipalities in refuse disposal commissions.
Trustee Mandler stated he was opposed to the creation of additional
governmental agencies. Trustee Schleicher pointed out that the language
in the proposed bill was not clear regarding objections to landfill sites.
?J Trustee Mandler moved, seconded by Trustee Smith, that a resolution be
adopted putting the Village of Deerfield on record as opposing the bill
covering-the creation and operation of Refuse Disposal Commissions.
V Motion carried unanimously.

Trustee Wetzel stated the three bills were one package. It was
pointed out that the bill giving powers to the State Health Department to
control refuse disposal sites was unnecessary for Deerfield, since the
Lake County Health Department exercised. control in a manner completely
satisfactory to the.Village. Trustee Wetzel moved, seconded by Trustee
Mandler, that a resolution be adopted putting the Village of Deerfield on
record as opposing the bill giving powers of control of refuse disposal
sites to the State Health Department.
Motion carried unanimously.
Trustee Mandler moved, seconded by Trustee Schleicher, that a
resolution be adopted putting the Village of Deerfield on record as
opposing the bill permitting counties to cooperate with municipalities in
refuse disposal commissions.
Motion carried unanimously.
The clerk was directed to send copies of the above resolutions to
the Secretary of the North Shore Council on Refuse Disposal, the Lake
County Health Department, and the Villages of Glenview, Northbrook and
Northfield, with a covering letter giving the Board's reason for opposing
this legislation. ''
Report - Legion Bldg. A report was received from the
Building Commissioner stating
that all electrical code violations in Nhe Legion Building had been
corrected, and that other corrections were being checked out with Mr.
Edward Walchli, Chairman of the Building Board of Appeals. He stated
the Legion Commander was cooperating fully in bringing the building up
to- standards; and another inspection was scheduled for the end of November.
President Hearn asked that an item by item report on corrections be
given at the December meeting.
Sewer Bond Surplus Trustee Smith reported the Village
attorney had given the opinion
that surplus sewer bond funds can be expended for any other sewer project,
and the Government has no'claim on these funds under the terms of the
Federal Grant. He stated approximately $97,000 was available for use for
sewer improvements. Trustee Schleicher proposed that, since the bond
issue was approved for sewage treatment plant improvements and enlarge-
ment, the expenditure of funds be confined to the sewage treatment plant
rather than separation of sewers and similar projects. The Board concurred
and President Hearn asked the manager and Superintendent of Public Works
to prepare a recommendation as to how the money can be best utilized in
improving the sewerage system, with a priority list for such improvements.
P-10 II La
Petitions Re: Sewage Mr. Clarold Britton presented petitions
Plant Odor signed by 297 residents whose homes
are near the sewage treatment plant,
asking the Board to take steps to eliminate the unpleasant odors from
the sewage treatment plant. He stated he was very pleased to hear that
funds were available to get started on the project. President Hearn
stated the petitions would be given every consideration.
The manager stated plant personnel were doing their utmost to
eliminate the odor problem. He reported the State Sanitary Water Board
had suggested the construction of a 3 acre lagoon, 5 feet deep, to retain
effluent for 2 days, which would do much to abate the nuisance; however,
the problem of what to do with approximately 90,000 cu. yds. of fill
resulting from the excavation of the lagoon must be resolved. He stated
he had suggested to the President of the Park Board that the fill be
used to construct a hill for sledding on park property adjacent to the
sewage treatment plant. Trustee Lindemann stated he had been informed
the Park Board was not interested in the hill due to matters of liability
and difficulty of maintenance. President Hearn assured the residents
that the Board was concerned about the problem, and will secure the best
technical ad+ice on how to resolve the problem, and will proceed as
quickly as possible.

Variation - 1435 Woodridge approval of the petition of Mr. Lawrence
O'Connell for a variation to permit a
sideyard of 7 ft on one side and a total combined sideyards of 15 ft at
his residence at 1435 Woodridge Court. Trustee"Mandler moved, seconded
by Trustee Schleicher, that the recommendation of the Board of Zoning
Appeals be approved and the variation granted.

Variation - 1435 Woodridge ordinance granting a variation from
the requirements of the Zoning Ord-
inance to permit a side yard of 7 ft. and a combined total of sideyards
of 15 ft. at 1435 Woodridge Court.
Approve Program -Sewer Upgrading The manager presented a program to
expedite sewer upgrading through smoke
testing, TV inspection of sewers, and disconnection of downspouts, to
eliminate the introduction of storm and surface water into the sanitary
sewers. The question of financing the program was raised, and the manager
stated sewer revenues had increased substantially, and he estimated re-
ceipts would be $5,000 to $6,000 over the amount budgeted. He recommended
the employment of three men and a part time clerk to carry on the program.
Discussion was had on the matter of insuring compliance in disconnection
of downspouts. Trustee Wetzel suggested that Mr. Klaskinski contact resi-
dents personally before legal action to force disconnection is undertaken.
A resident suggested the letter sent to property owners to disconnect
downspouts be re- written, giving a full explanation of the reasons for
disconnection, and better cooperation would be obtained.
Trustee Wetzel moved, seconded by Trustee Smith, that the Board
authorize the employment of three men and a part time'clerk to expedite
the sewer upgrading program outlined by the manager at an estimated
additional cost of $8,500 for salaries, and $1,800 additional for supplies.
