Deerfield Rds. ment's request for a traffic count at the Waukegan- Deerfield Road intersection on a Saturday, Mr. Bowen reported that a traffic count had been planned for Saturday, August 5th, but was cancelled because of rain. President Finney urged that the traffic count be -made as soon as possible and forwarded to the State for a decision on left turn signals. Trustees Forrest and Schleicher asked that the results of previous traffic counts be made available to the Board. 1st Presentation - Ordinance The first presentation was made of an Vacating Part of North Ave. ordinance vacating that part of North in Northwoods Sub. Avenue described as the North 40 feet of lots 3 and 4, Gershuny's Subdivision, and the North 33 feet of Lots 8, 9 and 10, McGuire and Orr's Northwoods Subdivisa:on. The ordinance was read in full. Table Ordinances Re: Taxes The proposed ordinance to increase the tax to Sept. 5th Meeting rate for general corporate purposes to .25 Discussion Re. Max. Rate was discussed at length. Trustee Raff stated the Village tax 16vy was a small part of the total real estate tax rate and 066 levy was less than the 1965 or,1964 rate. He said he preferred an increase in the tax rate rather than an increase in vehicle license fees, which the Board had been considering. Trustee Forrest pointed out that the increase in sales and service occupation taxes would bring a substantial increase in revenue, and stated that it was his opinion that if it is found that additional moneys are required, the tax rate could be increased next year. Trustee Craig spoke in opposition to the increased tax rate, and stated that the additional money was not needed at this time. The Village attorney reported that he had again checked with the Lake County Clerk's office, and had been informed that the statute had been reviewed and it was the opinion of the State's attorney that affirmative action on the part of the Board is required to take advantage of the increased rate. This ruling is contrary to the Cook County Clerk's office, where the increased rate will automatically be extended. He stated the Board could adopt the ordinance establishing the higher rate, and reduce the levy to the amount that would be extended under the lower rate. President Finney proposed that action on all ordinances pertaining to tax levies be taken up at the first meeting in September, when the full Board will be present to consider the matter. The Board concurred. Approve Contract & Execution The contract with E. A. Meyer Construction E.A. Meyer-Greenwood Sidewalks Company for construction of sidewalks on Greenwood Avenue was preeented, the unit cost being 50c per square foot. 21 owners have not deposited funds for construction under the contract, and these sidewalks will be constructed under special assessment proceedings. After assurances that all owners have been notified, Trustee Craig moved, seconded by Trustee Forrest, that the contract be approved and execution authorized. Adopted by the fo:l. lowing vote: Ayes: Craig, Forrest, Raff, Schleicher (4) Nays: None (0) Approve Insurance - Fun Fair Mr. Bernard Katz, a member of Congregation Authorize Permits for Rides Beth Or, presented a Certificate of Insurance for rides and activities at the Fun Fair to be held in Jewett Park on September 6 through 10th, sponsored by the Beth Or Congregation. Insurance cover @ge is extended to include the Village of Deerfield, Deerfield Park District and the Congregation. No helicopter rides will be offered this year. He stated that plans for the fair would be dropped if the Village requires that hold harmless agreements be provided, due to the costs of such coverage. He stated he did not feel that the same requirements should apply to a church as would be applied for a commercial operator. After a brief discussion, Trustee Raff moved, seconded by Trustee Craig, that necessary permits be issued without charge after inspections, and the Board accept the insurance coverage submitted, without hold harmless agreements. Motion carried unanimously. Approve Final Plat The final plat of Fox Chapel Subdivision was Fox Chapel Sub. presented,for approval, the plat being the south half of the subdivision heretofore referred to as Glorioso's North Waukegan Road subdivision. Mr. Stanley Gross - handler, attorney for Mr. Glorioso, asked for approval of the plat on the 0 tl 3 basis of hardship to his client, who has entered into committments for the construction of homes in the subdivision. He stated the Board had approved the'rezohing and the preliminary plat of subdivision, and the delay in the approval of the final plat was occasioned by the statutory requirement that the vacation of a street requires a favorable vote by 3/4 of all Trustees. President Finney stated the plat had been signed by the Chairman of the Plan Commission with reluctance, but had done so on the basis of hardship. Mr. Grosshandler said the north half of the subdivision would be named ''First Addition to Fox Chapel Subdivision1p and would be presented forlappproval when the ordinance vacating North Avenue has been passed. Trustee Raff moved, seconded by Trustee Craig, that the final plat of Fox Chapel Subdivision be approved and execution authorized, subject to compliance with all applicable ordinances.

The ordinance was read in full. Trustee Schleicher asked the building commissioner to check the plat of Willman's Subdivision, approved at the August 7th meeting, since it appears that one lot does not meet the minimum area requirement of 9,000 square feet, and the building line is established at the point where the lot width is 70 feet, instead of the 75 feet required by ordinance. The meeting was recessed at 9:50 p.m. and re- convened at 10 :00 p.m. Reconsider & Deny Approval The building commissioner having reported that Willman's Sub. one lot in the Willman Subdivision was undersized, and no recommendation for variations having been given by the.Plan Commission, Trustee Schleicher moved, seconded by Trustee Forrest, that approval of the plat of Willman's Subdivision be reconsidered.

Trustee Schleicher moved, seconded by Trustee Raff, that the Board deny approval of the final plat of Willman's Subdivision, and the plat be referred back to the Plan Commission for further study and recommendations, or, if the subdivider wishes, the plat may be redrawn to meet ordinance requirements. Adopted by the following vote: Ayes: Forrest, Raff, Schleicher, Finney (4) Nays: None (0) Pass; Craig (1) In a discussion of approval of plats, it was suggested that the plat show certification by the surveyor that all clots meet area and width requirements, or any variations be listed, and the building line be shown. The Village attorney was requested to study the matter. Trustee Raff asked about the construction of a school in the area where the Park District had requested the vacation of Hackberry Road. It was stated that the matter had been referred to the Plan Commission, but no report had been received. Approve Agreement- Metro. The Village attorney reported that, after Alarm Service Co. numerous telephone calls, he had received an Agreement from the Metropolitan Alarm ServiceCompany., .The proposed Agreement is contrary to the intent of the Board, he stated, and since completion of the Police Department addition is delayed for the installation of the alarm system, he had re- drafted the Agreement'to conform with the Board's expressed intent. The Agreement was read and discussed in detail. Various changes were made by the.Board for purposes of clarifica- tion. Trustee Forrest moved, seconded by Trustee Schleicher, that the Agree- ment be approved as presented and modified, and execution authorized on behalf of the Village, and further, that in the event the Metroplitan Alarm Service is unwilling to accept the revised Agreement, said Agreement be offered to other companies offering a1arm'services.

Discussion- Proposed Planned In connection with a proposed annexation and Development- Brickyards a planned development of 2,600 dwelling units on the property of the National Brick Company, PresidentFinney stated that a meeting of the full Board should be arranged to discuss whether the Board is interested in the proposal.

Trustee Craig pointed out that the proposed development was not an ordinary subdivision, nor an ordinary tract of land. The Village attorney stated that the Plan Commission had looked on the preliminary discussions with the developer as part of its function, to circumscribe' the area of discussion for presentation to the Board of Trustees. W in After further discussion, decision was made that the proposal be taken up at the next regular meeting. President Finney explained that information on the W development had been released to the press because one news source already had the story.
