Re: Annexation Agreement Proposed agreements between the Village
Soil Testing Tract of Deerfield and LaSalle National
Bank, as-Trustee under Trust No.
29897, and Chicago Title and Trust Company, as Trustee under Trust No.
43970, (Soil Testing) were presented and discussed briefly. The
attorney was requested to review the agreements and report to-the
Board at its next meeting.
Report- Downspout Disconnections The manager reported that, of the 125
homes found to be contributing storm
water to the sanitary sewer system, 48 had disconnected downspouts. He
stated that all owners had been called at least 6 times, in addition to
letters sent. As a result of these calls, some owners have asked for
more information, some asked for an extension of time in which to dis-
connect, but some have refused to take any action. He stated 95 more
homes had been smoke tested and 19 found to be contributing storm water,'
however, these were not included in the report since sufficient time had
not elapsed since notification. He added there were a few cases where
hardship would result from disconnection of all downspouts, since water
would flow into the building.
Trustee Lindemann stated that he felt it was unfair to other
taxpayers to permit 6 or 7 calls to be made by the Superintendent of
Public Works or other Village employees. Mr. Matthews advised the
Board that persons refusing to disconnect could be taken to court.
Trustee Wetzel suggested the 48 persons who have cooperated with the
Village be commended by publishing names and addresses, and felt this
might have -a beneficial effect in securing the compliance of those who
have taken no action.
President Hearn pointed out the matter of flooding was a
serious health problem, and suggested that the Board give considera-
tion to authorize Village employees to disconnect downspouts provided
the homeowner signs a release to be prepared by the attorney, absolving
the Village'f rom any claim resulting from the performance of this work.
Discussion was had on the President's proposal, and it was the consensus
1
1

of the Board that the homeowner should pay a reasonable charge for
material and labor, in fairness to those who had done the work themselves.
The manager was directed to prepare schedule of charges for disconnection.
Trustee Schleicher moved, seconded by Trustee Mandler, that a
report be made to the public on the progress of the downspout dis-
connection program, listing those who have complied as well as those who
have refused..
The President signed the resolution indicating his approval thereof.
North Shore Gas Agreement An agreement between the Village and

petition of Elm Street residents for rezoning to the R -6 two family or
R -7 multiple family district. The Planning Consultant's recommendations

take a program of neighborhood improvement to justify continuation as a
single family residence district as follows:
1. Village arrange with vacant property owners on east-side of
Elm Street for the Village to clean up and maintain this property
in a pleasant and presentable condition.
2. The Village should institute a program of education for employ-
ees so as to reduce the adverse effects of the.heavy traffic of
Village vehicles.
3. Village should discontinue storage of sewage sludge at the
Village garage.
4. Village should redouble its efforts to control any adverse
odors created at the sewage treatment plant.
5. Village should take steps to improve the condition of the
streets and sidewalks at Village expense.

can be done to minimize or eliminate the adverse effects
created by the constant operation of the railroad engines
parked at the siding opposite Elm Street.

Plan Commission's report be approved and the petition for rezoning be
denied.-
Motion carried unanimously.
Discussion was had on what could be done to carry out the Plan
Commission's recommendations for upgrading the Elm STreet area. The
manager stated Elm Street provided the only means of access to the Village
garage, and little could be done to remove this traffic; storage of sewage
sludge at the garage had been discontinued, and the Board had already
authorized action to reduce:or eliminate sewage plant odors. He proposed
that sidewalk repairs or replacement be accomplished under the'50 /50
sidewalk program, and added that Elm Street had been oiled during the,
past summer. The abandoned residence will be burned by the Fire Department.
The manager was directed to write to the Milwaukee Railroad asking their
cooperation in reducing noise, which will improve the appearance of the
neighborhood. President Hearn proposed the Elm Street area be made
.the subject of a workshop meeting.

ing the events leading up to the position the Board must now take, I.E., as

Re: Waukegan - Deerfield Council recommending that the Chief
Intersection of Police be instructed to enforce

also stated that ultimately parking must be prohibited within 300 ft. of

Re: Legal Publication
and taxpayer, asked why the Board
savings which would result from p
Star, the Village attorney having
ments for such publication.
Mr. Frank Duffy, 1715 Garand Drive,
who identified himself as a resident
had not taken advantage of the 45 percent
iblication of legal notices in the Deerfield
reported the Star met statutory require-
A lengthy discussion ensued in which Mr. Norman Hirsch, publisher
of the Star, pointed out the Star was delivered to every home in Deerfield,
thus insuring that legal notices would reach more people than the Deerfield
Review. He presented brochures to Board members giving data on paid
circulation and national experience on 'controlled circulation' vs. ABC
publications. Mr. John Brunner, of the Lerner Community Newspapers, spoke
on the circulation of their group of Chicago area newspapers, which included
several ABC papers now behng changed to "controlled circulation'!.
It was pointed out by President Hearn that one consideration given
by the Board in awarding publication of legal notices to the Deerfield
Review was the fact that local business men used the Review for advertising.
Messrs. Robert Lipson and John Foster, both local residents and both in the
advertising field, stated that in the matter of legal notices, the Board
was not dealing with advertising efficiency, and that with adequate circu-
lation in the community, cost should be the determining factor.
Trustee Schleicher stated the purpose of legal publications was to
put the public on notice, and that, as a member of the Finance Committee,
he was unequivocally in favor of competitive bids for material and services.
He proposed that the Board consider draw up specifications for publications
to run for the next fiscal year.
Trustee Wetzel stated the Board's decision was not made on the
basis of cost, but on the basis that the Review, i,n the opinion of the
Board, had greater acceptance by Village residents, and there was an
obligation on the part of the Board to publish notices in a paper that
had wider constant circulation.

President Hearn stated that, although he was paying the monthly
charge for the Star, delivery was not regular and he often had to purchase
a copy in one of the Village stores. Mr. Duffy re- stated his original
question, and President Hearn asked if any Trustee wished to move that
the Board reverse its decision that notices be published in the Review.
There being no motion, President Hearn stated he felt the subject had
been adequately discussed.
A letter was received from the Lake County Safety Commission stating
they were pleased that all members of the Deerfield Police Department had
completed the special training program.
Authorize Labor Costs The manager reported the #110 School
South Park School Drainage Board plans to improve the parking lot
at South Park School with swaled drainage,
and the Building Commissiore r had suggested that drain tile be installed to
carry surface water to the storm sewer on Hackberry Road. He suggested that
if the School bought the pipe, Village employees could install the pipe as
a joint project, if the Hovland Special Assessment project was not underway
in time to permit connection to the new storm drainage system. Trustee
Wetzel moved, seconded by Trustee Lindemann, that the Board authorize Village
Ln employees to install pipe as a joint School - Village projecr,'i'f necessary.

Insurance Coverage Mr. Herbert Byard, who is the agent
Sewage Treatment Plant for Village insurance, stated the broker
was of the opinion the coverage on the
sewage treatment plant and lift stations was not adequate, and recommended
that a competent sanitary engineer be employed to appraise the installations.
After a discussion of rates and other pertinent data, Trustee Schleicher
suggested that Baxter and Woodman be requested to give an estimate of the
cost of the plant in writing for appraisal purposes. Decision was made
that after the report is received from Baxter and Woodman, the Board will
discuss ithat amount of coverage should be carried.
The matter of the outside sale of Christmas trees was referred to
the Village attorney who was requested to prepare a suitable ordinance to
permit the sale of trees.
The manager reported.;he_had' ordered the installation of 3 mercury
lights'at the rear of the Presbyterian Church, and the Church will reimburse
the Village for any costs.
