Re: BZA Reports The President stated questions had been raised
Deny Rear Yard Variation by the majority and minority reports from the
65 Shenandoah (Eckerling) Board of Zoning Appeals on the petition of Mr.
and Mrs. Allan Eckerling for a rear yard variation
for the construction of an addition at 65 Shenandoah, and therefore had asked that
the Board of Zoning Appeals be represented.
Mr. George McLaughlin, Chairman of the Board of Zoning Appeals, stated that
itwas the recommendation of the majority that the variation should be granted because
it was not in violation of the intent of the Zoning Ordinance. He pointed out that
no variation would be required if the addition were to be constructed at the front of
the residence.
Board of Zoning Appeals member Naomi Clampitt stated that there was no showing
of practical difficulties or particular hardshfp by the petitioner.. -and that a personal
health problem was not a valid reason for granting a variation.

to the problem, but all were rejected as being too costly or impractical. Several
neighbors stated they had no objectio.n.to,_the-,proposed addition.

Authorize $1000 for Part Time An excellent report from the Youth Director
F emale Youth Worker Thomas Creighton stated there was a need
for a part time female youth center assist-
ant. The female a"ssis.tant would work 15 to 20 hours per week for eight months.
Based on $4.00 per hour, the total cost would be approximately $2,000. If Ms.
Gay Groebe, who worked during the summer, will continue on a part time basis, she
would be the first choice for the position. If she could not take the job, no
pressure would be felt to hire just anyone, but the right person would be sought.
If the Board approves a contribution of $1,000 from the Youth Council, he feels
certain that the additional amount needed can be obtained from the service clubs
or individual contributions.
Trustee Seidman moved, seconded by Trustee Blumenthal, that the report be
accepted and an expenditure not to exceed $1,000 be authorized for a part time
female center worker. Adopted by the following vote:
Ayes: Blumenthal, Gavin, Marty, Seidman, Stiehr (5)
Nays: None (0)

Atthorize Bids fications for scavenger service had been
reviewed by the Village attorney's office,
and recommended that they be sent out for bids.
Trustee Gavin moved, seconded by Trustee Seidman, that the specifications
for scavenger service be approved, and the specifications be sent to all prospec-
tire bidders, the due date for return of bids to be decided later,
Motion carried unanimously.
Resolution to County Board The President reported that Dr. Fenelon,
Re Regular Payment of 50% Tax Superintendant of School District No. 109,
on Regular Date had advised that a Resolution will be pre-
sented to the County Board to rescind the
pievious Resolution which provided for the early payment of 50 per cent of taxes
based on last year's tax bill. He is concerned that the County Board may pass
the new Resolution although the School Board has sent a letter to the County Board
asking that the same early payment of taxes be continued.
The President recommended that a Resolution be passed and sent to the County
Bcard asking that the present Resolution be retained. Trustee Gavin stated that
tie taxpayers of the Village be considered. It was pointed out that mortgage
companies paid interest on tax payments only on mortgages written after the law
became effective; which requires payment of interest. Representative Betty Lou Reed
said that due to litigation on taxes,. the County Board had passed the Resolution
which provided for early payment of a portion of taxes, but she felt that-__,the next
ant ensuing year's tax bills would be sent out-at the* usual time. Trustee Stiehr
stated he felt the County would continue to do early billing and it would become
a habit and fact of life if the Resolution is not-rescinded.
