TREASURER'S REPORT Finance Director George Valentine reported
that the twelve month actual Sales Tax Re-
ceipts were up 4% over the previous twelve
month period. This increase he attributed to the July Sales Tax; received in Octo-
ber,which was about 22% over that of July last year.
As for expenditures, all departments are operating at or close to projected bud -.
gets. General Fund revenues are about $170,000 over projection due primarily to
overages of $100,000 in building permits and $100,000 in ordinance violations.
Regarding the Variable Rate Demand Notes, Mr. Valentine noted that the current rate
is 4.9 %. He stated that the estimated current bond sale fixed rate is 8.60% and was
9.1 -9.25% January 2nd of this year.

crossing at Kates Road and a commitment

Trustee Seidman moved, seconded by Trustee.
Rosenthal, to approve the final plat of re-
subdivision for the property at 510 Deer-
field Road. Motion carried unanimously.
Village Engineer James Soyka reported that
the Cook County Highway Department had agreed
to fund a $500,000 bridge improvement for the
extension of Pfingsten Road contingent upon
Deerfield's obtaining a grade level railroad
to extend Pfingsten Road at the crossing
Three engineering proposals for both Phase I and Phase II were obtained, and Staff
recommended that Donahue and Associates be awarded the Phase I engineering in the
amount of $55,330. He stated that it is Phase I which will reveal whether the en-
tire project is feasible.
Discussion followed regarding costs for Phase I as well as Phase II and the exper-
tise necessary for a project involving the many county and state agencies. Trustee
Swanson was of the opinion that the firm submitting the highest Phase I proposal
(Donahue and Associates) should be retained as that phase includes so many meetings,
etc. Mr..Soyka agreed, stating that Phase I will include much legal work with the
Illinois Commerce Commission hearings, and coordination with Cook County.-;as well .
as preliminary engineering design, traffic studies, soil borings, fill conditions,
etc. He added that the $55,330 proposal buys extremely talented people with much
/95
expertise and drive necessary to get the project spearheaded through. Moreover,
Donahue's combined proposal for Phase I and Phase II was lower than that of the
other two proposals. It, therefore, became apparent that it was wise to tie the
proposals together.
Trustee Marty moved, seconded by Trustee Seidman, to award Phase I engineering
to Donahue and Associates in an amount not to exceed $55,330 and lock in Phase II
in an amount not to exceed $79,875 conditioned upon the Board's determination to
go forward with Phase II. Motion carried on the following vote:
AYES: MAROVITZ, MARTY, ROSENTHAL$ SEIDMAN, SWANSON, YORK (6) NAYS: NONE (0)
UNLAWFUL WEAPONS Village Manager Franz reported that the
MUNICIPAL CODE AMENDMENT Illinois Criminal Code had been amended
to include throwing stars and stun guns
as unlawful weapons. Since, during the past six months, there has been one in-
cident of the use of a stun gun as well as an advertisement in a local paper
for the sale of stun guns, Police Chief Richard Brandt recommended amending the
Deerfield Municipal Code to reflect the changed state law. Trustee Marty moved,
seconded by Trustee Rosenthal, to direct the attorney to prepare and ordinance
adopting Chief Brandt's recommendation. Motion carried unanimously.

TRAMMEL CROW DEVELOPMENT Discussion was had concerning a recent
LAKE -COOK /MILWAUKEE AVENUE decision of Buffalo Grove to allow two
12 -story office buildings at the north-
east corner of Lake -Cook Road and Milwaukee Avenue. Riverwoods, Lincolnshire,
and Northbrook have lodged strong protests with Buffalo Grove, and Riverwoods
and Lincolnshire have stated they are considering court action to try to block
the development. All are on record as fearing the impact on Lake -Cook Road
traffic and the precedent set by such high rise buildings on further develop-
ment in the area. The Board was opposed to the height of the proposed buildings
and most felt that Buffalo Grove should be apprised of these opinions. Accord-
ingly, Mayor Forrest will write the Mayor of Buffalo Grove expressing the
Board's concern about 12 -story buildings as inappropriate for a suburban area.
There being no further business to come before the Board, upon motion by
Trustee Marty and second by Trustee Seidman, the meeting was adjourned at
'AAA P.M.
