Discussion -We -Go Park Sub. & Toll Road Drainage Problems In connection.with the flooding problem in We- Go Park Subdivision from Toll Road drainage, the manager reported that a meeting with the engineer for the Toll Road had not resulted in any solution to the problem. He stated that a study of drainage in the area is required before any course of action is determined, and that Charles Greengard Associates had estimated that the updating of a 1958 study would cost a maximum of $1,500, but it was more.likely that the cost would be approximately one -third of that amount. President Finney pointed out that the work could not be done this winter, and it was .probable that the.new Governor would appoint a Chairman of .the Toll Road Commission who may be.more amenable to cooperating with the Village to alleviate the flooding. In response to a suggestion that Village employees.deepen the ditches alnng the Toll Road, the manager stated.that the engineer for the Toll Road had rejected this proposal on the grounds that the drainage would be changed and might result in a law suit against the Commission. The possibility of the Village filing suit against the Commission was discussed, and this matter will be taken up with the Village attorney. The manager will get a more definite estimate of costs from Greengard Associates for updating the 1958 drainage study. The President will bring up this matter at the Lake County Municipal League meeting.
