Report - Downspouts The manager reported three additional
releases had been signed, and the
downspouts will be disconnected by Village employees. The Superintendent
of Public Works will call on all residents who have been notified to dis-
connect downspouts within the next week. A new release form has been
prepared to satisfy those who felt that the form previously used held them
liable for any injury sustained by a Village employee during the disconnec-
tion. He stated he had met with the prosecuting attorney for the Village
and discussion was had on action to be taken against those who have refused
to disconnect. It was decided the attorney would write to the six owners who
have refused to comply with the Village's order to disconnect and if they
still refuse, a complaint will be filed against them.' Trustee Smith asked
that an up -to -date summary of the disconnection program be prepared for
the Board.
Re: Proposed Sign Ordinance Receipt was acknowledged of the Plan
Commission's report on the proposed
sign ordinance. Trustee Smith suggested the Plan Commission be invited to
meet with the Board and Building Commissioner at a discussion meeting on
February 22nd at 7:30 p.m. The attorney was requested to review the proposed
ordinance with the Building Commissioner, and report to the Board prior to
the discussion meeting.
Re: Crabtree Vacation. In connection with the petition for
the vacation of part of Crabtree Lane,
a letter was received.from the Board of Education, School District #110, stating
they had no objection to the vacation provided a walkway of 8 feet is retained
for access to the school. The manager stated the Park District had expressed
some concern about the vacation, but no letter has been received. No report
has been received from the Plan Commission.
Trustee Schleicherentered the meeting at 8 :40 p.m. and was present
thereafter.
Re: Metropolitan Sanitary The manager read a report on a meeting
District with Mr. Vinton Bacon of the Metropolitan
Sanitary District and Mr. Louis Ancell,
attorney for Sara Lee, to discuss the feasibility of a connection of the
east side interceptor sanitary sewer, the Petersen tract and sewage from
the Sara Lee plant to the Metropolitan Sanitary District sewer at the Harms
Road sewer. A draft.of a letter to the President of the Sanitary District
was read, discussed and a change in wording made to indicate the letter was
a request for consideration of the proposal.
The manager explained the Village's proposal would be for sewage
treatment by the Metropolitan Sanitary District on a contract basis, using
sewer service charges from the area served to pay the costs of treatment.

Mr. Matthews stated that if the Village'contracts for this service from
Metropolitan, it would be an additional expense item to be charged against
sewer revenues, and if revenues are adequate to comply with the requirements
of the Revenue Bond ordinance, there should be no problem. It was recog-
nized that the matter was one of negotiation which might be long drawn out,
and several members expressed the opinion that Sara Lee should not delay
their plans for providing pre- treatment on the basis of these negotiations.
A letter was received from the Highland Park Park District stating
that an aerial photo map of the area could be obtained for $275 if 6 or
more agencies would order maps, and asking if the Village is interested.
The Board requested the manager to write to the Plan Commission asking if
they would find a map helpful, and that the Board would approve the purchase
if they desired from funds budgeted for the Plan Commission.
Discussion was had on the manager's report on the Deerfield Savings
and Loan's parking deficiency of 10 stalls, and the contribution of $20,000
to a special Parking Fund. Trustee Mandler -raised a question of legality
and a precedent being set by such acceptance. The manager stated a meeting
with the Parking Committee had been arranged for February 22nd, at which
time the matter would be discussed further.
A letter was received from the City of Highland Park notifying the
Village that the water rate charged the Village would be increased to 24.60
per 100 cu. ft. effective March 23, 1965, in accordance with the terms of
the contract. The manager estimated the rate increase would amount to
approximately $3,500 per year based on the last year's water usage. Discussion
was had on the collection of sewer service charges from residents of High-
land Park whose homes are connected to the Village's sewage system. The
manager was directed to check the ordinance on sewer rates to determine what
charges should be paid.
A letter was received from the Lake County Zoning Board of Appeals
thanking the Village for the use of the Village Hall for the National Brick
Company hearing.
Receipt was acknowledged of a letter from Mr. Richard Ross, attorney
for Dr. Frederick Mokrasch, in which he stated a suit would be filed for a
declaratory judgment unless the Board indicated a petition would be accepted
for a second hearing on a variation to permit the construction of an apart-
ment building under the old R -7 Multiple Family District regulations on
the lot at the southeast corner of Waukegan Road and Elder Lane. The attorney
was requested to investigate the matter and report to the Board at its next
meeting.
A letter was received from the Village attorney reporting that the
complaint has been amended in the Contractors License suit filed by Arnold
Petersen and the Lake County Contractors' Association.
Decision was made that the letter be sent to the Sanitary District,
and Sara Lee be notified the Village expects them to continue to work on
their sewage treatment problem.
Re: Proposed Sara Lee The manager reported that Sara Lee is
Water Agreement putting in a well for its water supply,
and would put in piping to tie into
the Village water system on a standby bases, if the Village would permit the
present connection serving Sara Lee to remain. This would give both the
Village and Sara Lee an additional source of supply, in case of an emergency.
There would be no charge by either party for this standby connection, and
a contract could be negotiated establishing charges to be paid for water
used. It was pointed out that Deerfield must pay Highland Park for water
7j
at a cost that would be higher than Sara Lee's costs would be. Decision
was made that the manager notify Sara Lee-that the Board is interested in
their proposal, and he was requested to get facts and figures (bn costs.
U
Communications A letter was received from the High-
land Park Harbor Commission' requesting
the Board to appoint a representative to act as liaison with the Village

Commission expressing noncommittal interest in the project and requesting
more information.

that an aerial photo map of the area could be obtained for $275 if 6 or
