ience with park and school board members on their Plan Commissions.

Discussion - H.P. Sewer Contract Discussion was had on the proposed contract
with the City of Highland Park for sewer
service charges for residences in Briargate Villas Subdivision in Highland
Park served by the Village sewerage system. Trustee Schleicher stated the
rate to be charged should be included in the contract, and suggested that the
rate be the same as that charged Village residents if a single bill is sent
to the City of Hignland Park, or if residences are billed individually,
the rate would be one and one half times that charged properties in Deerfield.
Also discussed was a straight dollar billing based on the average Deerfield
bill, instead of b6mputation of individual bills based on water meter
readings. Th: manager was directed to get the average Deerfield sewer
charge from the Village Treasurer for discussion at the next meeting. Trustee
232
.Smith suggested the contract include the provision that the City of
Highland Park will exercise all reasonable efforts to exclude storm
water infiltration and downspout connections from the sanitary sewer.

employees had been smoke testing
sewers recently in Neerfield Park Second Addition Subdivision, and
found 103 homes contributing storm water from downspouts to the
sanitary sewers. He stated that approximately 1,000 homes had been
tested in a little less than one year, and 155 homes of the first
600 tested required disconnection of downspouts. He stated all but
20 of the 155 homes have been resolved.

Re: N.S. Gas Franchise The manager reported the North Shore
Gas Company had stated a per capita
allowance of five cents was the best they could offer, but the popula-
tion figure would be based on latest census reports. Trustee Raff
suggested the allowance be five cents or fi.ve- eighths of a therm, which-
ever is more favorable to the Village. The manager was authorized to
negotiate with the Company on that basis, and to have an ordinance
prepared granting a new franchise to North Shore Gas.

Tre!A ent Plant Change The manager reported he had been notified
.¢o�tlagoon Chlorination by Baxter and Woodman that the State
Sanitary Water Board now requires post
lagoon chlorination and the change in plans would add $1,821.46 to the
Q contract price. He stated p6s- tlagoon chlorination would result in a
cU savings of several hundred dollars per year in costs for chlorine. Trustee
Raff suggested the chorine outlet for chlorination be kept, in \1
addition to the new outlet, in the event State requirements are changed.
Am addition to the contract will be prepared by the Engineers for Board
approval.
Re: National Brick Co. A resolution adopted by the Heritage
Landfill Permit Preservation Association, Inc. was
received, requesting the Board to take
legal action to stop the issuance of the Special Permit to allow a landfill
on the National Brick Company property. Also received was a copy of a
letter sent by the Village of Northbrook to the Lake County Board of Zoning
Appeals objecting to the proceedings in connection with the landfill.
Mr. Matthews stated that the Village could not get an injunction
to stop the landfill since no garbage.or offensive substance will be dumped
if the operator fulfils the conditions of the permit. He suggested it
would be desirable to discuss with the County Health Department the
regulations and inspections that will be established for the operation. The
manager reported that Mr. Bruce Frost, Township Supervisor, had proposed
that a Deerfield resident be appointed to conduct the inspections.
Trustee Schleicher stated he had been informed that West Deerfield
Township Assistant Supervisor Clifford Johnson had voted for the issuance
of the permit, and although Supervisor Frost had voted against it, he
had recommended to other Supervisors that they vote for the permit. He
proposed that both supervisors and their sponsoring organization be asked
for an explanation.
Trustee Schleicher then moved, seconded by Trustee Raff, that the
attorney be instructed to write to the Lake County Health Department
requesting the Department to deny the permit on the basis of their report
that the Metropolitan Disposal Company were found not qualified and were
lax in their operations at other locations.
Motion carried unanimously. -
President Finney asked the attorney to send a copy of his letter
to the Health Department to the Heritage Preservation Association, Inc.
Reports - Communications The manager reported a letter had been
received from the Milwaukee Railroad
stating the crossing gates were now in operation, and the Telegraph Road
crossing had been barricaded.
_A report was submitted on Sara Lee sewage, showing that the company
was billdd $1357 for excess BOD strength i -n' month of May, 1965.

President Finney acknowledged receipt of a flag from Radio
Station WIND, and presented it to the Village.
July 4th was proclaimed Let Freedom Ring Day by President
Finney, and the manager was instructed to request all churches to
ring church bells at 1 :00i,p.m. E.S.T.•
President Finney reported he had been notified by Mr. James
Lyons of the Police Pension Board that he was moving from the Village.
He stated an appointment to fill the vacancy would be made at the
next meeting.
Trustee Schleicher asked that the Greenwood curb and sidewalk
improvement be places on the agenda, as well as the separation of
sewers in the Central Business District, both projects being
considered urgent by citizens. The manager stated no Motor;- Fuel;Tax
funds were available for Greenwood paving, and suggested the Board
might give consideration to having the engineering work done for
the complete improvements including curb, gutter, sidewalks and
paving, the sidewalk to be constructed by special assessments as soon
as possible, and the curb and gutter to be assessed when Motor Fuel
Tax funds are available for the paving.
Mrs. G. F. Clampitt, 1455 Greenwood, stressed the need for side-
walks since many children must use Greenwood Avenue to go to and from
the Woodland Park School, the road shoulders are either dusty, muddy
or icy, and the road is used as a speedway since it is a through street.
The issuance of bonds to be paid from Motor Fuel Tax i•ncbme was
suggested as a means of financing Greenwood paving.
The Building Commissioner mentioned that a sidewalk should be
constructed on the west side of Waukegan Road south of Kates Road
since many children from Brfarwood Vista Subdivision use this route
to school. Trustee Raff asked that the manager send the background
information on these projects to Board members.
There being no further business, on motion by Trustee
Schleicher, seconded by Trustee Raff, the meeting was adjourned at
10:35 p.m.
