ST.GREGORY'S CHURCH Mgr. Franz read a Safety Council report re-
WILMOT RD. PARKING garding_a request by St. Gregory's Church
for temporary parking on Wilmot Rd. Sunday
mornings until they can enlarge their. parking lot. The Safety Council recom-
mended that the request not be granted and that church members park on Mont-
gomery Rd. or in the paved.parking lot behind Wilmot Elementary School (both.
only. one - fourth block away from the church). Safety Council Chairman Eugene
Berkowitz stated that the church hopes to have their expanded parking lot
completed by the end of December. Vil. Engineer Jas. Soyka felt that was a
possible completion date. He stated that he expected to have plans delivered
by their architect by the end of the week. He added that An.agr�ement had been
reached between the Park District and the church for a sewer connection to pro-
vide proper drainage.
Mr. Berkowitz stated that he felt it important to stress
'hazards connected with Wilmot Rd.. parking:
1) Wilmot Rd. is approximately 2531 feet wide where St.
park. A parked 7� ft. wide car would leave only 18
the two obvious safety
Gregory's wishes to

southbound traffic to 'inch through.
2) Church members could.possibly open car doors and step directly into passing
traffic.
Following discussion, Trustee Swanson moved, seconded by Trustee York, to accept
the report and recommendation of the Safety Council.. Motion carried unanimously.
Trustee York complimented the Safety Council on its analysis of the parking pro-
blem and its,appropriate recommendation. He also recommended that St. Gregory's
ask their members parking on Montgomery Rd. to park on one side only:
Trustee Seidman noted that the Board had.always done everything/possible to
help churches (a policy he favored), but in this instance, safety outweighed
granting the request.
CABLE TV Mgr. Franz stated that questions raised at,
INSTALLATION CHARGES the last Board meeting on "free installation"
features for Cable TV had been reviewed by
the Cable Advisory Board. He reported that residents who subscribe during .
the 30 -day charter period for any service beyong the "basis access channels"
will have free installation for those basis channels as well as their addi-
tional choices, but they will be charged according to the level of the addi-
tional service they have selected.
Discussion ensued with Trustees Seidman and York of the opinion that Omnicom
Cable TV should be supplying information on charges for installation as well .
as levels of service. Trustee Seidman was particulary interested in rates for
multiple hookups and multiple uses. Mgr. Franz replied that information on
rates would be forthcoming at the end of the week for Board review. .
SOLAR HEATING REQUIREMENTS Mayor pro tem Marty stated that the Board
STAFF REPORT was in receipt of a staff report including
a memorandum from Director of Building and
Zoning Chas. Smalley as well as a letter from Village Attorney Jas. Stucko.
Mgr. Franz recommended that the Village not become involved at this time be-
yond.enforcing present Village requirements that solar hearing installations
meet its structural, electrical and, if necessary, plumbing codes.
Village Attorney Stucko advised that if the Village wishes', it can license
solar heating construction firms under its provision for licensing heating
and plumbing contractors.
Discussion ensued regarding possible defraud of Villagers by unscrupulous
companies selling solar heating products. Mr. Smalley stated that the Mayor
had the authority to revoke the license of any contractor upon receipt of
continual complaints.

the Staff's report. Motion carried unanimously.

SAFE DRIVING PROGRAM Police Chief Richard Brandt reported that
Sgt. Dave Turnbaugh had been working with
the Lincolnshire Police Department to develop a Safe Driving Program pro-
posed by the president of IVI Travel Mr. Larry Incandella, former Deerfield
resident presently living in Lincolnshire.
Sgt..Turnbaugh explained that Mr. Incandella had worked many months talking
with residents, including clergy and Village officials, regarding the idea
of rewarding exceptionally courteous drivers of all ages. It is proposed
that police officers (on a voluntary basis) would observe motorists
and issue a safe driver citation to safe /courteous drivers` explaining to
.them that a copy of the citation would be forwarded to IVI Travel who would
hold a drawing at the end of the program and award a round trip ticket to
dawaii to two safe drivers.

Sgt. Turnbaugh commented that while the program will affect all drivers in the
two communities, it would be especially beneficial to the young people. He added
that the Deerfield High School drivers education department is very supportive of
the program and will be involved in its planning and preparation.
He introduced Mrs. Diane Moiza and Mrs. Kathy Verginelli of IVI Travel (Mr. Incan-
della's daughters) who explained that the program would end at midnight May 3,
1983.. The drawing would be on June 4, 1983 at the Deerfield Village Hall where

a - round trip ticket to Hawaii.

MUTUAL .AID /POLICE DEPTS. '& The Board was :in receipt of copies of pro-
N. ILL. POLICE ALARM SYSTEM posed agreements for:
AGREEMENTS SIGNED
1. Intergovernmental Police Service
2. Northern Illinois Police Alarm System
Police Chief Brandt explained that the first agreement involved Lake County
communities and addressed only the legal aspects of mutual aid. The second
agreement for a police alarm system provided for a firmer committment fore
disaster planning and.involved communities felt to be most important to
Deerfield (northern Cook County as well as Lake County). He stated that
hopefully the two agreements would be merged within a year (producing a system
similar to what the fire department enjoys).
Chief Brandt stated that Officer Ken Anderson and others in the police de-
partment have been working a long time on disaster planning and other communi-
1

ties have shown a great deal of interest. The plan would involve not only co-
operation but would make.resources available.
Replying to inquiry by Trustee Swanson, Village Attorney Stucko stated that.
the two agreements were not" - mutually exclusive and could both be entered into
by the Village. Chief Brandt thought it particularly important that the
Board approve both agreements since Deerfield had initiated the plans. Also,
Deerfield being in the southernmost section of the County needed support .from
more than Lake County municipalities.
Discussion was had.regarding types of disaster assistance, cost savings by
possible joint-venture in procuring special equipment, insurance coverage,
and the necessity,of Board approval for any expenditures, etc.
Thereafter, Trustee Seidman moved,.seconded by Trustee Swanson, that the
Mayor be authorized to sign the Intergovernmental Police Service Agreement.

Trustee-Swanson stated that the Northern Illinois,Police Alarm System (NIPAS)
agreement was excellent and asked who had written it. Chief Brandt replied
that Ofc. Ken Anderson had written it and that Ofc. Anderson had been the
moving factor in the whole thing. He stated, "Ken is an exceptional officer."
Mgr. Franz added, "I'd like to echo that." The Board thanked Ofc. Anderson
for his excellent work...
A report on the number of empty spaces in commuter parking lots,which had been
requested by Trustee Swanson,was discussed. Trustee Swanson stated that he
felt the figures indicated.no necessity to change the policy on renting,spa,ces.
Mgr. Franz stated that he had been asked to announce, for press pickup, that
November 15 was the last day to file forms for nominations to the caucus.
Mgr. Franz reported that Halloween was very quiet. The police reported that
they had received no complaints, and the public works department did not'find
any damage. Very few children were out that evening.
Deerfield will appear at the Cook County BZA. hearing and object to the erection
of a monopole on the Gun Club property. Northbrook is also objecting and work-
ing with Deerfield. They suggest sharing-costs if an expert witness is needed.
Trustee Seidman asked whether Cattleman's Restaurant had been apprised of prob-
-lems with their plans. Vil. Eng. Soyka reported that Ms. Ruffino. and Mr. Case
had been in touch with them. Mgr. Franz stated that he -and Mrs. Emery had dis-
cussed with them the requirements for a liquor license and that their original
plans were definitely not in compliance.
Trustee York reported that he had observed French bread loaves with open ended
wrappers being delivered and left outside of restaurants for hours before-they
opened for business. He felt this was an unacceptable practice and that the
Lake County Health Department could look into it.
There being no further business to come before the Board, upon motion by
Trustee Seidman and second by Trustee York, the Board adjourned the meeting
at 9:30 P.M.
