COFFEE WITH COUNCIL
SATURDAY, AUGUST 8, 1998
9:00 AM
VILLAGE HALL, 100 SOUTH EMERSON STREET
Trustees Irvana Wilks and Paul Hoefert called the meeting to order at 9:00 AM. Representing
staff was Michael Janonis, Village Manager, and John Malcolm, Deputy Fire Chief. Village
residents in attendance were:
Walt Trendota, 1518 Mura Lane
Bob Nuccio, Box 1232, Arlington Heights
Jim Corman, 1348 Indigo Drive
Mr. Walt Trendota, 1518 Mura Lane. Mr. Trendota has been experiencing flooding problems
in his home. Project Engineer Chuck Lindelof has been out in this area and has designed two
retention basins to the rear of Mr. Trendota's property. Mr. Trendota would like to see the
retention basins closer to the easement and not in his backyard. Mr. Trendota feels that the
retention basins, as drawn, would be too close to his home. Mr. Trendota attributes part of the
problem to his neighbors raising the grade in their backyards by 6 to 12 inches.
Mr. Trendota has been dealing with this problem for 15 months and would like this issue
resolved. The Village Manager will speak to the Village Engineer and The Village Attorney on
Monday, August 10, 1998, regarding this issue and will follow up with Mr. Trendota. The
Village Manager, Village Engineer, and the Village Attorney contacted Mr. Trendota and have
been working with the parties involved to resolve this issue.
Mr. Bob Nuccio, Box 1232, Arlington Heights, IL. Mr. Nuccio owns three six flats at Oak
Terrace located at Elmhurst and Dempster and is concerned about the problems they are having
with geese in this area. He feels the residue is a health issue. The Village Manager is checking
with the Northwest Municpal Conference to see what actions have been taken in other
communities regarding this issue. Deputy Chief Malcolm suggested putting fishing line around
the water edge to keep the geese from coming out of the water. Deputy Chief Malcolm followed
up with a telephone call to Mr. Nuccio giving him the name of a Developer and a Contractor that
has experience dealing with these problems.
