Trustee Schleicher moved, seconded by Trustee
Kelm, that the low bid of $943 submitted
by Fragassi TV & Appliances be accepted subject
specifications.
Discussion was had on whether the expenditure for the sound reinforcement
system should be deferred until the Village's economics improve. Trustee Bootz
stated funds for this purpose had not been budgeted and proposed the matter be referred
to the Budget Committee. He pointed out that rarely are enough citizens present to
make a sound system necessary. Mrs. Laura Lee Christoph, Evergreen Place, stated
that people at the rear cannot hear, and suggested that Trustees speak louder if
the sound system is not purchased.

Approve Rt. Turn Lanes The manager reported that Paul Box and Associates
Waukegan- Lake -Cook Intersection had recommended the construction of right turn
Box Authorized to Proceed lanes at the Waukegan- Lake -Cook Road inter-
section in conjunction with the widening of
Lake -Cook Road, provided the necessary rights -of -way and construction easements can
be obtained by March 1971, and Cook County would accept the design.- The Plan Commission
concurred. The estimated cost of right turn lanes at the Northwest and Southeast
corners is $10,000 exclusive of right -of -way, and $15,000 for the Northeast and South-
west corners, also exclusive of right -of -way costs, if the work is done as a part of
the Lake -Cook Road improvement project.
Mr. Box stated it is possible the necessary rights -of -way and easements can
be .-obtained without cost to the Village inasmuch as corner properties would not be
.affected 4dversely by the construction of the right turn lanes. If dedications and
easements dnRL&!99Ry t� Weolr�ethe additional rights -of -way and easements by
purchase or condemnation by the "quick take" provision.
Trustee Slavin moved, seconded by Trustee Schleicher, that Mr. Box be authorized
to proceed in accordance with his recommendations in his summary report.
Motion carried unanimously.

Reject Proposed Sidewalk The manager reported a cost estimate of
Lake -Cook Road $25,000 for the construction of a sidewalk
on the north side of Lake -Cook Road from
Waukegan Road to Wilmot Road, excluding the brickyard frontage, and an addi-
tional $10,000 for a walk from Waukegan Road eastward to the East Village limits.
He stated the cost of the sidewalk construction could be paid from Motor Fuel
Tax funds if the work is done as part of the Lake -Cook Road improvement; how-
ever, although construction can be deferred, the State may or may not approve
the use of Motor Fuel Tax funds for this purpose at a later date. If the Board
elects to proceed with the installation of sidewalks, the Cook County Highway
Department should be notified to prepare plans, although they may prefer plans be
prepared by the Village. Mr. Box stated there would be 16� feet from the edge
of the road for the construction of sidewalks, but recommended the sidewalk
position be variable depending on topography.
Discussion was had on construction of sidewalks by Special Assessments,
but the assessment of the brickyard property which is outside the Village was
questioned, as well as the benefit to lots in Briarwood Vista Subdivision where
rear lot lines abut Lake -Cook Road and frontages are improved with sidewalks.
Trustee Schleicher suggested the manager explore whether a sidewalk con be con-
structed on the north side of Lake -Cook Road from Wilmot Road fonthehEast Village
limits, including the brickyard property, under the Motor Fuel Tax law, to avoid
a Special Assessment. The sidewalk would be used for bicycle traffic as well as
pedestrians.
Trustee Schleicher moved, seconded by Trustee Bootz, that the manager be
authorized to work with the Cook County Highway Department to include srdewalk5
in the plans for Lake -Cook improvements, subject to approval of the work being
done under the Motor.Fuel Tax law, the Village paying the cost.
Trustee Slavin stated that the Village's Motor Fuel Tax funds are limited,
and with present and future commitments including the extension of Carlisle
Avenue as requested by School District No. 109, he proposed that no action be
taken on Lake -Cook Road sidewalks until the Board has a breakdown of Motor Fuel
Tax commitments for the next several years.
The motion failed, the following vote being recorded:
Ayes: None (0)
Nays: Bootz, Kelm, Schleicher, Slavin (4)
Waukegan Rd. Tmprovements A report from Traffic Consultant Paul Box
at Deerbrook Tabled recommended Waukegan Road improvements at
the Deerbrook Shopping Center to include
the extension of the widening lane on the west side to the Toll Road; widening
the east side at Village expense to the point 1000 ft. south of Lake -Cook Road
which will be improved-.by Cook County; construction of left turn bays and a
median strip; and signalization of the main entrance to Deerbrook. The estimated
cost of the improvement is $150,000, of which $110,000 is for construction and
$40,000 for traffic signals. The estimate does not include street lighting or
the right turn lanes at the Lake - Cook /Waukegan intersection, nor improvements
on the west side of Waukegan Road which will be paid for by Deerbrook.
Mr. Box recommended that the design for future lighting be included in
the construction plans. He stated that if funds are limited, he would recommend
the construction of road improvements now as an "add -on" to the Lake -Cook Road
improvement project, and the installation of traffic signals be deferred.
Trustee Kelm pointed out that a substantial expenditure was involved, and
moved that the matter be tabled until the next meeting. Seconded by Trustee
Slavin.
Motion carried unanimously.

Approve Crossing Guard A report from the Chief of Police concurred with
Woodland Park School the Safety Council's recommendation that a
crossing guard is needed at the Woodland Park
School, to be stationed on Wilmot Road at the Hertel - School Street intersection. He
also recommended that a sidewalk be constructed on the west side of Wilmot Road from
Greenwn d Avenue to Hertel Lane, a distance of approximately 686 feet. The manager
stated the cost of a crossing guard would be approximately $750 for the remainder of
the fiscal year and no funds had been budgeted for this purpose. He proposed that a
crossing guard for the;3doodland Park School be provided for in next year's budget,
and the sidewalk on the west side of. Wilmot Road be constructed as early as possible
next spring. The walk would be constructed under special assessment proceedings.
Parents of school children living west of Wilmot Road pointed out that 160
children must cross Wilmot Rodd daily, and urged the immediate employment of a crossing
guard for their protection. It was stated that some mothers drive to school because
they fear for the safety of their children, which adds to the traffic problem. All
agreed the installation of a sidewalk as early as possible next spring, but stated
the need for a crossing guard is urgent.
Trustee Bootz moved, seconded by Trustee Schleicher, that the Board authorize
the employment of a crossing guard at Woodland Park School to be stationed on Wilmot
Road in the vicinity of Hertel.Lane. Adopted by the following vote:

BZA to Review Sign Ord. from the provisions of the Zoning Ordinance
to permit the erection of a 4' x 23'6"
sign with six logos advertising brands in addition to the dealer identification,
at 350 County Line Road, as requested by Douglas TV.
Discussion was had on the need for revisions to the sign regulations and
clarification. A report from the building commissioner listed problems of enforce-
ment with respect to signs and accessory uses at automobile service stations.
A survey of service stations operators showing-requested signs was attached.
The Village attorney recommended that the ordinance be reviewed in its entirety
with particular attention to service stations and outside vending-machines. Mr.
Robert Hamilton of the Illinois Petroleum Council stated he had some experience
in helping prepare ordinances regulating service station signs and he would like
the Board's permission to work with the Village attorney and the service station
operators to prepare an ordinance acceptable to the Board and station operators.
Several service station operators gave their opinionsson the types of signs which
,were necessary 'and those which are undesirable, .
Trustee'Schleicher suggested that, inasmuch as the Board of Zoning Appeals
hears petitions for sign variations, the pertinent ordinances be reviewed by the
Board of Zoning Appeal: with*the building commissioner and other interested persons,

S/A 108 improvements, stated that a comprehensive
check list of items to be corrected and
completed had been made on November'13 and 14, but he had been unable to get a
time schedule for completion from the contractors. He reported construction was
basically completed except for two street returns, approximately 500 ft. of side-
walk and some grading and seeding of parkways. The relocation of uti itytpolesshas
caused some delay but it is the responsibility of the contractor to arrange for
the removal. He recommended that completion of-construction be required this
year under winter conditions except for the remaining grading and seeding and
replacement of sidewalks across driveways, which should be done next spring and
completed by June 30, 1971. A one -half street in which Chesterfield Builders is
involved has been checked and is located as shown in the plans.
Mr. Zera stated all utility poles have now been moved except one in the
street and one in the sidewalk, but the sidewalk and approach in one area cannot
be put in this year due to wet soil and poor drainage. The manager stated the
Village would put in drainage in this area next spring.
Mr. James Tiffany, 1407 Laurel Avenue, asked how he would be paid for the
it
113, 1
sidewalks he had constructed on his corner lot at Laurel and Birchwood; the assessment
for sidewalks is approximately $900 at the contract unit price. Mr. Greengard stated

stated some way could be found.to reimburse Mr. Tiffany, but compliance with speci-
fications should be checked. This will be done by Mr. Greengard.
