TV"
Discussion - Drainage Survey President Forrest stated the manager had
Authorize Est.ofiCost prepared a plan for inspection of sump puinp
installations for illegal connections.
Trustee Slavin stated it appeared that flooding problems were a principal concern to
residents of the Village as evidenced by complaints of homeowners on Forestway Drive
and Warrington Road at a recent meeting, and numerous telephone calls and letters.
He stated the Board is concerned about the flooding problem, despite the feeling of
some residents that the Board lacks sympathy and is unreceptive to their complaints.
He recommended that the Village retain an outside engineer to make a professional
analysis of the drainage of the Village as a whole, including a feasibility study
and cost analysis, rather than the present piecemeal approach. He reported he had
discussed the problem with a principal of Consoer and Townsend, engineers, who had
stated that steps taken by the Village to alleviate flooding were desirable, such as
disconnection of downspouts, TV.inspection of sewers and the proposed sump pump
connection inspection, but suggested that the possibility of relief sewers be explored.
In addition, he proposed that Messrs. Allen Schultz and Kerwin Knoelk, hoth profession-
al engineers registered in Illinois, be appointed as an ad hoc committee to work
with and review the findings of the engineer, and report to the Board.
Discussion was had on Trustee Slavin's proposals. The manager stated the
Village had expended large sums to improve the sewer system and alleviate flooding.
�. He pointed out that Baxter &--Woodman have done an excellent job for the Village and
are familiar with the system; with a new engineer, time and money would be spent to
compile data already known by Baxter & Woodman. He stated a major problem is the
zi receiving streams which, when full, immediately reduce the discharge from storm
a sewers by 20 per cent. He feared that any comprehensive study would be shelved due
to the cost of implementation, and pointed out that approximately $15 million should
be -spent on the sewage treatment plant.
Several members stated they felt Trustee Slavin's proposal for a-- comprehensive
survey had merit since the public would then be fully informed on the extent of the
problem and costs of solution. The advantages and disadvantages of retaining
Baxter & Woodman for a comprehensive.survey were discussed.
Trustee Slavin moved, seconded by Trustee Schleicher, that Consoer and Townsend
be retained to conduct a problem and cost analysis of the Village's drainage problems
with respect to storm and sanitary sewers . wi'fh. -a maximumrdost • of- $3,,:000. The motion
and second were withdrawn when the manager pointed out that $3,000 would merely
scratch the surface on drainage problems.
Trustee Kelm then moved, seconded by Trustee Bootz, that estiamtes of cost
of a comprehensive drainage survey and cost analysis be obtained from Baxter &
Woodman and Consoer and Townsend. .•
Motion carried unanimously.

Re: Sara Lee Sewer
Agreement Extension
8 1
Discussion was had on extension of the Agreement
with Kitchens of Sara Lee, Inc. on the.treat-
ment of industrial wastes which had expired
October 31, 1969. Both Trustees Slavin and Schleicher questioned whether the Agree-
ment should be extended at the 1967 rate of $2.85 in view of greatly increased labor
costs. Mr. Klasinski stated this amount covered costs for testing and treatment.
Trustee Schleicher moved, seconded by Trustee Slavin, that the Extension
Agreement be prepared to show the present rate of $2.85 to continue through August
31, 1971, and the rate to be increased to $3.15 as of September 1, 1971, and Sara Lee
be notified of this action. Adopted by the following vote:
Ayes: Schleicher, Slavin, Turner (3)
Nays: Bootz (1)
Pass: Kelm (1)
Discussion - Hovland Improvements Mr. Charles Greengard, engineer, and the
& Complaints contractors for Hovland improvements,
George W. Kennedy, Zera Construction and
A. Ritacca were present to discuss complaints of owners. The manager reported
that 5 of the 8 cores taken from sidewalks across driveways did not meet the
specified thickness of 6 inches. Mr. Greengard and Mr. Zera stated substandard
walkb would be replaced.
, . Mr.-Greengard explained that part of the problem arose from awarding the
contract for sewer and water improvements before the Board's decision to proceed
with the construction of street pavement and sidewalks, requiring substantial changes
in grades. In some locations the street pavement may not be in the center of the
right -of -way because it is a platted subdivision and property lines were used as
guides. Location of sidewalks varies to preserve trees, bushes and fences.
There were complaints of broken sidewalks, driveway grades so steep cars
hit the pavement, and clay, broken bricks, stones and concrete on parkways instead
of black dirt as specified, as well as generally poor quality of work and failure
to complete the work within the contract-period. Mr. Greengard assured the residents
that the work would not be approved and certified for payment until it is completed
in a satisfactory manner. He stated manholes and hydrants would be adjusted to grade.
Mr. Zera stated work should be finished in about three to four weeks, but
parkways would not be seeded until fall for better growth of grass. He stated
he had not received the cooperation of residents and questioned the grade at which
the Tiffany sidewalk and driveway had been installed. Mr. Klasinski stated the
grade had been established by the engineer and verified by the building department.
Mr. George Kennedy asked that the voucher for work completed be deposited
with the 1st National Bank of Deerfield in order that he may complete his refinancing
arrangements and stated he had fulfilled his contract and the sewer and water lines
were in use. Mr. Greengard pointed out that claims of residents for damage to their
property must be resolved before he will certify payment. Mr. Kennedy stated these
claims will be filed with his insurance company.
The meeting was recessed at 10:50 p.m., and reconvened at 11:05 p.m., all
members present.
Further discussion was had on Hovland improvements and corrections to be made.
A g5d§'fi6h As 16 wh_-y Gordon Terrace was not paved was answered by President Forrest
who stated the area between Gordon Terrace and County Line Road is being reviewed
by the Plan Commission with regard to future resubdivision of the lots.
Mr.-Greengard stated that the $5,000 escrow proposed by Mr. Kennedy would be
sufficient to pay for any repairs or corrections on his work,
President Forrest asked Mr. Kennedy to submit his request for payment in
writing and the matter would be taken up at the next meeting.

Refer Glenview Letter A letter and resolii €ion from the Village
to Drainage Committee of Glenview regarding maintenance of the
North Branch of the Chicago River was
referred.to Mr. William Healy, Chairman of the Drainage Committee.
Veto Likes Preliminary Plat President Forrest read his veto message
on the preliminary plat of the Likes
Subdivision which had been approved at the August 17th meeting. He stated it
was his opiiion that approval of the plat with -a covenant would tend to set a
precedent which would undermine the requirement of the Subdivision ordinance
which requires a cash escrow or bond for improvements
Trustee Schleicher moved, seconded by Trustee Bootz, that the preliminary
plat of ikes Subdivision with a covenant to provide that no building permit would
be issued until full improvements have been installed, be reconsidered and approved.
0
The motion failed, and the veto was upheld. The manager was directed to
notify the owner of the Board's action.

mendation that the Gay Spray be kept for
