Treasurer's Report The treasurer submitted a report as of
September 30, 1974, which included cash
and investment statements, detail expenditures by activity, revenue and expense
statement, highlight control report and cash flow statements.
In response to Trustee Stiehr's question about the amount of overtime, the
manager stated overtime was,not excessive. In the Water Department, overtime
results from the repair of..leaks,.and in.the Street Department it is sometimes
necessary to_ complete a project the same day, such as in the application of hot
M ix.
President Forrest asked the treasurer to watch the Sewer and Water funds
c losely.
Petition - Bicycle Path.-on.. Andy Klein', spokesman for students from
Lake-Cook Rd. Cadwell: School, presented a petition which
.requested the construction of a bicycle path
on the north side of Lake-Cook-Road between Wilmot Road and the - Deerbrook Mall.
The petition was circulated.by- students and was signed by both students and adults.
Some adults stated they would use the bicycle path if it is constructed. Andy
asked for a,sfeel-barricade between the bicycle path and roadway, or a separation
between the path and road for the safety of bicyclists. He introduced the students
who had helped in circulating the petition.
The manager reported the Cook-County Highway Department will not put in a
bicycle path or sidewalk except as a replacement. The cost of a path can be paid
by the Village from Motor Fuel Tax funds. In a meeting with the Highway Depart-
ment, he had stated the Village wanted a bicycle path or sidewalk on the north
side of Lake -Cook Road and improvements to the Lake - Cook /Waukegan Road intersection
to handle the additional traffic., He had also stated that, of the Highway Depart-
ment is building a grade separation at the Northwestern Railroad crossing on
Lake-Cook Road, the same should be done at the Milwaukee Road crossing. Trustee
Gavin stated the matter of a bike path had been looked into before. She said
the curb and gutter along Dundee Road' °was not conducive to safe bike riding and
the same type of construction is planned for Lake -Cook Road.
The President commended Andy Klein for his presentation, and stated the
petition would be referred to the proper people.

Approve Settlement Mr. Thomas Foran, the Village attorney's co-
Brickyard Purchase $950000 counsel with respect to the brickyard condemna-
tion case, read the following proposal as a basis
for settlement of the litigation: 1) The Village will'purchase approximately 77 acres
of the brickyard tract (as shown on the Exhibit attached to the letter) at a cost of
$950,000 payable from the proceeds of the sale of bonds previously authorized. In
the event the.bonds cannot be sold, an attempt will be made to negotiate an installment
purchase of the property; 2) The Village will have the right to spread 500,000 cubic
yards of soil from the future excavation of the proposed storm water retention basin
across that portion of the brickyard property retained by the owners (approximately
46 acres); .3) The Village will acquire a strip 100 feet wide East of the Southwest
p option of the property acquired by the Village extending past the East boundary of the
radio tower site.
If these terms are acceptable to the Village, Mr. Foran will conduct a prove -up
of the condemnation case, and thereafter, upon the sale of the bonds, the Village will
deposit the $950,000 with the Clerk of the Circuit Court for payment to the owners.
Mr. Foran stated the proposal is the result of lengthy litigation and negotiations
and, while the Board must make the decision on acceptance or rejection, he feels it is
the best settlement obtainable. He pointed out that the owners maintain that a high
density development is the highest and best use of the land, and if the Village seeks
to acquire the entire brickyard property, the cost may exceed the amount authorized
by the bond referendum.
Respogding;to residents' questions and suggestions, Mr. Foran stated that only
the property acquired by the Village would be annexed, and although matters discussed
in negotiations had included an option to purchase the remainder of the property, the
right of first refusal, and a covenant, these were not acceptable'to the owners.
Trustee Moses moved, seconded by Trustee Stiehr, that the Village attorney and
Mr. Foran be authorized to conduct a prove -up on the condemnation case in accordance
with the letter of October 17, 1974. Adopted by the following vote:
Ayes: Finne, Gavin, Moses, Stiehr (4)

Approving P.D. Lot 130 and 66 ances, the first approving a Planned Develop-
Hovland Sub. ( Kitzerow) ment of Hovland Lot 130 and the second
approving the Planned Development of Lot 66,
Hovland Subdivision,, identified as Kitzerow's Resubdivisions Unit One and Unit Two.
Trustee Stiehr stated.the Plan Commission had recommended a five year
limitation on the bond or escrow, and the ordinance omitted this provision. He
then moved, seconded by Trustee Moses, that the five year limitation on bond or
escrow be added to the ordinances.
Motion carried unanimously.
Mr. Stucko will send copies of Plan Commission member James Marovitz's
letter to the Board.
Mr. John Bure, attorney for the Kitzerows, stated he would.like clarifica-
tion and confirmation of his understanding of the conditions applicable to the
Planned Developments, as follows: 1) Bond or escrow deposited for the improvements
of future streets.on the 30 feet to be dedicated will be released in five years
if the street is not constructed; 2) Bond or 'escrow deposited for Gordon Terrace
improvements will be released upon the spreading of Special Assessment No. 112;
3) Although.the plats cannot be formally approved and recorded, Special Assess-
ment No. 112 will be spread, at not'- cost to the Kitzerows, over the six lots
created by the resubdivisions.
Mr. Stucko stated that at the time the contract for the improvement has
been let and when the Village is far enough along to have the assessment confirmed,
the assessment roll can be amended to re- spread the assessments over the six
lots, and the plats of resubdivision can then be recorded. Assessments will in-
clude the 30 :feet to be dedicated for a future street.
At Trustee Moses' request, Mr. Bure will send a letter to the Board
summarizing his.statements. Mr. STucko will also write regarding the re- spread
of the special assessment and other matters relating to the planned,developments.
Authorize Signature ILEC Discussion was had on acceptance of the Illinois
Planning & Research Grant Law Enforcement Commission's-Planning and
Research grant. Chief Whitton explained the
award is for one year, but the project may be extended for an additional two years
with a grant not to exceed $15,875 for the first additional first year and $7,937
for the second additional year. He did not envision more than two years for,the
project, but the present award is for a one year grant, and any extension is at
the option of the Board. He stated a new civilian employee would be hired since
no present employee has the necessary skills and there is no requirement for a re-
p lacement.of present..personnel. The manager pointed out that the Planning and
Research program maybe a ,prerequisite for a future equipment grant.
Several members questioned whether a qualified person could be hired for
a one year assignment. Chief Whitton agreed the difficulty would be in hiring
the right person who will evaluate the department, submit recommendations for
improvement and establish standards to measure performance. He felt a program
such as this would save money in the long run.aiad provide a more affective and
efficient department. A woman, who is a consultant, has expressed interest in the
project.

P.C. Report - Authorize A report from the Plan Commission recommended
Ordinance Approving.P.D. that approval of the final plat of Chesterfield's
Laurel Hill #9 -Phase II Laurel Hill Unit 9, Phase II, be denied. The
report reviewed the background of the proposed re-
subdivision-which will create three non - conforming lots to the west, and the failure
of the petitioner either to include the west 150 ft. of Lots 37, 38 and 39, Hovland's
Subdivision as a part of the planned development or to petition for a separate planned
d evelopment.
Discussion was had on the Plan Commission's recommendation that approval of .the
final plat be denied despite the fact that Chesterfield Development Corporation had
complied with all conditions set forth in Ordinance No. 0- 73 -58, passed October 15,
1973, approving the planned development identified as Chesterfield's Laurel Hill
Unit No. 9, -, and the ordinance No. 0- 74 -30, passed May 20, 1974 approving development
in two phases , and approving Phase I. Mr. Fred Hillman of Chesterfield Development
stated he had filed a petition with the Board of Zoning Appeals for a variation in
lot area requirements for the west 150 feet of Lots 37, 38 and 39, but at the public
hearing the petition was dismissed. It was his understanding that when he had clear
title to the east 150 feet of Lot. 38, the final plat of Phase II would be approved.
Plan Commission member James Marovitz stated that in the event any of the owners
of the west 150 feet of Lots 37, 38 or 39 applied for a building permit, it would
be refused on the basis of a non - conforming lot, and it would then be necessary
to petition the Board of Zoning Appeals for a variation in area requirements. These
lots must be considered conforming until there is an approved resubdivision.
Trustee Moses questioned whether conditions for approval of the final plat if .
it is in conformance with the preliminary plat. Trustee Stiehr stated Mr. Hillman
had complied with respect to the conditions imposed by the ordinances and had exercised
good faith. Mr. Hillman stated he would attempt to get the owners.of_ the three lots
to petition for a.planned development, but said it was imperative that he be allowed
to proceed with Phase II.
Trustee Moses moved, seconded by Trustee Stiehr, that the.,attorney be authorized
to prepare an ordinance for the approval of the final plat of Phase II.
Motion carried unanimously.
A report on this matter was-requested-from Mr. Stucko.

M
Mr. Dan Christiansen, President-of the Chamber of Commerce, stated the
proposed ordinance was the first step.taken by the Board to encourage the mer-
chants in the Central Business District to work together to improve parking,
t affic flow and beautification which would benefit not only the merchants but
also the Village. He reported an agreement had been reached for the removal of
the fence between the parking lots of the Deerfield State Bank and Shopper's
Court, and he would talk to the manager about having the necessary work done by
employees of the Public Works Department. Trustee Stiehr stated it should be
understood that the ordinance, if passed, was based on a reliance in the good
faith of the merchants in the..Central Business District in their expressed
desire to improve parking and traffic flow. Trustee Moses said that, from his
own point of view, he could see no reason why the Central Business District
merchants should not get together to work out cooperative parking, and while he
would not oppose the proposed ordinance, it should not be said that this was the
first time the Board has cooperated.
Trustee Stieht moved, seconded by Trustee Finne, that the rules be waived
to permit.action on the ordinance at its first presentation. Motion carried,

BBA Report Re: Adoption
of Fire Prevention Code
Association Fire Prevention Code.
A report from the Board of Building Appeals
recommended the passage of the proposed
ordinance adopting the American Insurance
Fire Chief Gagne stated he had discussed the proposed ordinance with the
Trustees of the Deerfield- Bannockburn.Fire Protection District and they had taken
the position that the Village should not pass the ordinance because they plan to
join with other Fire Protection Districts in the State to request the legislature
to pass a law to permit Fire Protection Districts to adopt a Fire Prevention Code.
The manager reported that.Fire District Trustee Paul .Potter had indicated concern
about enforcement of a Code adopted by the Village by the Fire'Chief -who will not
be compensated. He.suggested compensation of $1.00 per year. He stated that the
Fire Chief and.the District-.Trustees recommend that no Code be adopted until the
legislature has a chance to.act. Mr. Rolf Jensen, Chairman of the Board of Building
Appeals,; urged the Board..to pass the ordinance,* as recommended by the Building
Board. He stated it would affect the fire rating of the Village, and it,would be
"at least a year before the legislature could take action.
Trustee Gavin.moved, seconded by Trustee Moses, that compensation of $1.00
per year be added-to Section Two of the ordinance.for each of the Fire Chiefs of
the Deerfield - Bannockburn.and Northbrook Rural Fire Protection Districts. Motion

Court improvements, be awarded. to Rosetti Contracting Co., the low bidder, at the
bid price of $395,521:80, as recommended by the engineer.
Discussion was had on the deletion of the Cranshire- Hampton Court improvement.
Trustee Stiehr stated plans and specifications will be prepared for re- bidding of
this project. Residents urged the Board to do all of Phase II as originally planned,
and stated the area should not be penalized because an error was made in estimating
the cost. It was suggested that.part of the funds allocated for storm water retention
be used for this improvement. The President stated the improvement was not being
dropped but merely deferred because the improvement was more costly than had been
estimated. A resident stated that notice had been received from the Village that
driveway drains and downspouts must be disconnected from the sanitary sewer, and if
this is done flooding problems would be intensified. Trustee Moses stated and
Trustee Finne agreed that it was unreasonable to ask owners to cgmply when the Village
is not prepared at this time to proceed with the improvements. This matter will be
on the agenda for the next meeting.
The motion to award the contract for Phase II improvements to Rosetti Con-
tracting Co. was.ddopted by the following vote:
Ayes: Finne, Gavin, Moses, Stiehr (4)
N ays: None (0)
Trustee Stiehr moved, seconded by Trustee Moses, that the Village engineer be
directed to prepare plans and specifications of the Cranshire- Hampton Court improve-
ments, including a lift station, and the Deerpath lift station for re- bidding.
Motion carried unanimously.
Trustee Stiehr stated he wquld like to discuss these projects with the Village
engineer and Baxter & Woodman before the plans are released.
Authorize B & W Design Dr. H. S. Sundin of Baxter & Woodman reported
Modifications, S.T'.P. that modifications in the design for sewage treat-
ment plant improvements are required by the State,
and if approved, for the issuance of a supplemental permit. The estimated cost for
the construction of the design modifications is $150,000 to $200;000 plus $15,000
for engineering. He stated.the plans are subject to Federal review and he could
give no assurance that the Federal Environmental Protection Agency will approve the
project, only that the State will issue a Supplemental Permit. If the project is
approved, work could get.underway..'in the spring of 1975; if not accepted, he could
give no estimate of the time wheiY*�onstruction could be started.
Trustee Stoehr moved, seconded by Trustee Gavin, that Baxter & Woodman be
authorized to prepare design modifications for sewage treatment plant improvements
for application to the State.for a Supplemental Permit.
Mr. Richard Miller of the Sewer Committee stated he had talked with Mr. Degan
of Lake County regarding tying into Lake County's sewage treatment facilities. He
said there is a possibility the Village would be better off connecting to the County
system than.constructing additions and improvements to the Village system. He said
a report on-costs..will b& prepared by Mr. Degan, reviewed by the Sewer Committee
and a report submitted by the Committee to the Board for the November 18th meeting.
President Forrest stated the proposal to tie into the County system had been reviewed
by the Board, and a comparison.of costs proved it would be better to expand the
Village's plant.
The motion to authorize Baxter & Woodman to prceed with design modifications was
adopted by the following vote:
Ayes: Finne, Gavin,.Moses, Stiehr (4)
Nays: None (0)
Clerk's Reports The clerk reported that the audit report of the
Police Pension Fund had been received from the
Illinois Department of Insurance.
Trustee Moses moved, seconded by Trustee Gavin, that the report be accepted and
placed on file. Motion carried unanimously.
The clerk reported that in August 1963, Mr. and Mrs. Carl Schmidt, owners of
the Volkswagen property, signed an agreement for annexation of this property when it
becomes contiguous to the Village. Contiguity was established by annexation of Huehl
Road on September 17, 1973 and, in addition, by the annexation of the former Strub
property on July 15, 1974.
The President asked that the matter of annexation of the Volkswagen
property be put on the agenda for the next meeting.

viewing five architects, the Architect-
Engineering Selection Committee has recom-
mended that I. W. Colburn and Associates,
the North Suburban Mass Transit District as
the railroad station.
Trustee Finne moved, seconded by Trustee Gavin, that I. W. Colburn and
Associates, Inc. be recommended for the project.
Motion carried unanimously.
Reports Trustee Finne reported he had written to
Governor Walker setting out arguments why
pedestrian crossing lights should be installed on north Waukegan Road for the
benefit of high school students and motorists. Governor Walker referred the
letter to the Highway Department, who responded that school crossing lights
are not authorized for high school students, but if the Village can demonstrate
that the volume of traffic is greater than represented, the Department will take
the matter under consideration. Copies of the letter will be distributed to
the Board.
Trustee Moses stated a resident had asked him to tell the Board that the
Village ought to have an ordinance to require gas stations to post current
gasoline prices.
In response to Trustee Stiehr's inquiry, the manager stated that bagged
leaves should not be placed at the curb until the day before the regular pickup,
and, to his knowledge, this requirement has not been enforced by the Police
Department. He reported that comparatively few people are bagging leaves this
y ear.
There being no further business, on motion by Trustee Stiehr and seconded
by Trustee Finne, 'the" meeting was adjourned at 11:40 p.m.
