PROPOSED AGREEMENT Trustee Heisler announced that Deerfield DEERFIELD /BANNOCKBURN had received a proposed agreement: toL 3 NORTH AVE. IMPROVEMENT cooperative effort in improving North Ave- nue.. Mgr. Franz stated that Bannockburn was proposing to maintain North Avenue for two years, until 1983, followed by a two year maintenance program by Deerfield. Mr. Robert Hamilton, Engineer, of Dave Gewalt & Associates, engineers for Bannockburn, was present. He stated that Bannockburn was not proposing that North Avenue be brought.up to MFT standards. He indicated they were interested only in making it "passable" for 15 -20 miles an hour traffic by patching chuck holes followed by a light seal coating. []I :`4any questions arose which Mr. Hamilton stated he was not prepared or authorized to answer that evening. It was not clear why Bannockburn should seek a written commit - merit'from Deerfield regarding cooperation in maintaing North Avenue, since Deerfield has total responsibility for maintenance of the narrow road (lying entirely within Deerfield... Bannockburn never having dedicated its portion of land for a full right -of- way) and Deerfield has never balked at doing some patching and snow plowing over the past years. Decision was made to refer the matter to the Village Manager for appropriate staff investigation including construction, operation and maintenance costs with a report at a future Board meeting. REPORTS: Mgr'. Franz reported that a letter had been received from the Housing Authority of Lake County regarding their program of assistance in repairing emergency items on the homes of Senior Citizens and handicapped or disabled persons. He stated that the Human Re- lations Commission, with Board approval, would like to be involved from public relations standpoint and help the housing agency come in contact with the seniors in our community who need help most. He commented that this program, though requiring inspection by Deerfield's Building and Zoning Department, would not involve Deerfield to the ex- tent its own program had.last:.year when nine projects were successfully completed with funds remaining from a Community Development Program:. He will relay the Board's approval to the Human Relations Commnission who will contact the Board if some commitment is required. Responding.to inquiry from Trustee Seidman, Attorney Stucko stated that he would sum- marize for the Board the recently passed amendments to the Open Meetings Act and de- velop a plan of procedure for scheduling executive sessions.. _There being no further action to come before the Board, upon motion by Trustee Seidman, the meeting was adjourned at 8:40 P.M.
