Motion carried unanimously.
Discussion -Sewer User Charge
Industrial Cost Recovery
Trustee Swanson moved, seconded by Trustee Gavin,
that the Memorandum of Understanding between
the Village and the North Suburban Transit Dis-
be approved and execution authorized.
A draft was received of an ordinance regulating
the sewerage system of the Village, establishing
a sewer user charge system and providing for an
industrial cost recovery program. Mr. Soyka proposed a sewer service charge of
64 cents per 100 cu. ft. of water used. Users are billed on a quarterly basis. The
sewer service charge for residences will be established for the year on the amount of
water used during the billing period which includes the month of January.
The treasurer suggested that the minimum sewer charge be kept low. He said
the cost of utilities may double when the additions to the sewage treatment plant are
completed. At present electric power usage is up but chlorine usage is down.
Both Highland Park and Bannockburn will pay the same rate as local users since they
maintain their own sewers but he proposed that an additional charge for sewer service
be made for users outside these municipalities.
Discussion was had on the industrial cost recovery program. Kitchens of Sara
Lee will pay about $3,500 per year and Fiat Allis about $400.
President Forrest proposed the matter be taken up at a workshop meeting.
Clerk's Reports The clerk asked about updating the Municipal
Code, passed September 7, 1976, inasmuch as
many amendments have been passed, some amending the Code of 1963 which were adopted
between the end of March, 1976 and approval of the present Code. Mr. Stucko will
check on costs for updating.
The clerk reported that she has not received the signed Amendment to the
Annexation Agreement for Lake -Cook Plaza nor a copy of the revised site plan, and
therefore the amended Special Use Ordinance cannot be recorded. Mr. Stucko stated
he would notify the attorney for Lake -Cook Plaza that the ordinance would be repealed
if the signed amendment is not forthcoming.
Reports President Forrest stated that, in order to save
postage, water bills have been enclosed with the
literature sent out by the Deerfield Family Day Committee, which resulted on some
water bills being thrown out and a penalty for late payment could not be charged.
Mr. Robert York of the Chamber of CommerctY.ilde Committee will have printed on the
outside of the envelope "WATER BILL ENCLOSED ". Decision was made that this plan be
tried this year and the Village will keep records on how many bills were thrown out.
The President reported that Riverwoods has signed the contract for police
service. The manager said Mrs. Buxbaum had inquired about police service for Beth Or
on a contract basis but the Chief of Police did not feel this was practical. The
President suggested the matter be reconsidered after police service is provided for
Riverwoods.
There being no further business, on motion by Trustee Seidman and seconded
by Trustee Blumenthal, the meeting was adjJourne, at 10:00
