Law Enforcement Commission Enforcement Commission requesting a contribution
of $600 to make up for the limited funds avail-
able from the Illinois Law Enforcement Commission. A memorandum from Chief Brandt

Mr. Glenn 5path, Deerfield Road, stated the State has used the letter system
for many years, and showed a picture of a Long Grove sign which prohibited trucks over
a Class C license. He felt that signs restricting trucks with a Class D or over license
would be simple and understandable.
Trustee Heisler said the intent of the ordinance was to eliminate trucks except
those on Waukegan or Lake -Cook Roads or making local pickups or deliveries. He said
the ordinance was passed a month ago and felt signs should be erected and start en-
forcing the ordinance.
Mr..Spath said he had discussed the truck ban with several drivers who were
not upset by the ordinance and would merely change routes to use either Waukegan or
Lake -Cook Road. Mrs. Willard Loarie, Oxford Road, stated she would prefer.-.,an ordinance

prefer such an ordinance. Chief Brandt said the present ordinance sets a weight limita-
tion; if a truck is obviously over the weight limitation, a ticket will be issued,
otherwise a warning ticket will be given. An ordinance prohibiting trucks with a Class
D or over license would be easier to enforce.
Trustee Seidman moved, seconded by Trustee Blumenthal, that the attorney prepare
an ordinance amending truck traffic restrictions by prohibiting trucks with a Class D
license or greater. Adopted by the following vote:
Ayes: Blumenthal, Seidman, Forrest (3)
Nays: Gavin, Heisler (2)
The ordinance will be on the agenda for the next meeting.
Authorize $5000 -Added Discussion was had on an alternate proposal for
'Water Supply Study an additional water supply from Highland Park
which is much less costly than the proposal
presented by Baxter and.Woodman, and could be financed by water revenues without a bond
issue. The manager said Highland Park has agreed to the installation of a booster pump
by the Village at the boundary between the two municipalities, the Village to be
responsible for maintenance of the pump,vault, telemetry and other related facilities.
The manager said he would work with Dr. Hal Sundin of Baxter and Woodman, and
Highland Park on the booster pump design and an estimate of cost. He stated this energy
efficient pump would probably be.used through the winter.
Trustee Seidman moved, seconded by Trustee Gavin, that the study for an additional
water supply from Highland Park be authorized at a cost not to exceed $5,000. Adopted
by the following vote:
Ayes: Blumenthal, Gavin, Heisler, Seidman (4)
Nays: None (0)

Clerk's Reports The clerk reported that Sterling Codifiers
have completed and mailed the update of
the Municipal Code and it will be received shortly.
The Planning and Zoning Officer, Barbara Ruffino, said she has been
directed to send to the Board the Plan Commission's recommendation, the pre-
liminary plat, and the final plat of subdivisions at one and the same time.
It will be necessary to amend the Subdivision ordinance to reflect this change.
Mr. Stucko said he would review this matter with Mrs. Ruffino.
Reports The manager reported that an additional
bus shelter has been provided for the
Village and it is desired that it be put at the southeast corner of Deerfield
and Waukegan Road. Because of the "tightness" of this corner, he thinks that
Deerbrook Shopping Center is a possible.location for this additional shelter.
Mrs. Laura Lee Christoph, Evergreen Place, said she recently has seen three
cars in the entrance lane of:the mor.thermost driveway at the Deerbrook- Shopping
Center, whose drivers intended to make a left turn onto Waukegan Road. The
present signs seem to be confusing to drivers, and the matter should be studied.
The President said the Village engineer will study the problem, and suggested
that perhaps double yellow lines would be helpful.
Mrs. Christoph said the water had been turned off at 9 p.m. on Sunday
and suggested that either the Police or Public Works Department notify residents
when the water is turned off.
There being no further business, on motion by Trustee Seidman and
seconded by Trustee Gavin, the meeting was adjourned at 9:15 p.m.
