Reports Trustee Heisler submitted a memorandum regarding
enforcement of the ordinance requiring bicycles
to have lights and reflectors and proposed the following course of action: 1) The
Police issue a warning ticket to riders without lights requiring that the person ticketed
appear at the Police station within 7 days showing evidence that a light has been installed;
2) If the person ticketed fails to appear an actual ticket will be issued; 3) No
licenses for bicycles be issued unless the bicycle has a light installed on it; 4) Wide
publicity of this action in the local press and through the "Officer Friendly" program,
and if possible, enlistment of the aid of local bicycle dealers with window posters, etc.;
and 5) get one of the local service groups to hold a bkie light program.
Chief Brandt explained present procedures - a warning ticket is issued to be signed
by the parent, and a follow =up letter is sent to the parents. The bicyclist must report
the Police and show that the correction has been made.
Trustee S -eidman suggested that the attorney prepare an ordinance to require lights
on bikes and provide for installation of lights within seven days. Mr. Stucko will
check on procedures.

stop signs, relocation of some stop signs, and removal of other signs. Trustee

Safety Council's recommendation, for review by the Board.
The manager reported that new procedures have been adopted by the Illinois
Environmental Protection Agency, and reports will be. submitted monthly.
Discussion was had on the removal of signs advertising garage sales. It
was suggested that the police remove these signs as a part of their normal patrol,
but in no case should this removal be done by the Planning and Zoning Officer.
Trustee Marty reported there is dumping on the brickyard property, abandoned
trucks and a non - conforming sign. The Director of Building and Zoning is to send a
letter regarding these violations and a complaint issued if the letter is dis-
regarded.
Mrs. Willard Loarie, Oxford Road, stated that,.upon annexation, the brickyard
property was zoned R -1, and this is not a proper classification. A public hearing
should be scheduled by the Plan Commission to rezone the property based on the
consultant's report.

by Trustee Heisler, the meeting was adjourned at 9:40 p.m.
