COFFEE WITH COUNCIL
Saturday, February 13, 1993
10:00 a.m.
Trustees Room, Village Hall
Trustee Leo Floros convened the monthly Coffee With Council meeting at
10:00 am.
Those present were: Trustees Paul Hoefert and Irvana K. Wilks and Fire
Chief Edward M. Cavello.
Residents in attendance were: Alice and Albert Boldt and David and Andrew
Schein.
Mr. Boldt of 617 School Street, 870-7559 stated that he objected to having
to pay the real estate transfer tax at the time he moved from 3 North Elm to
his present location on School Street. Mr. Boldt thought he should be
exempt from the $571.00 tax in as much as his move was from one location
in the Village to another that is also within the Village boundaries.
Mr. David Schein of 512 Na-Wa-Ta questioned the appropriateness of
discussing whether or not the Village Board should take a position on the
School District 57 referendum.
Trustee Wilks stated that she did not think one board should tell another
board how to operate. Trustee Wilks advised to tread carefully in this area.
Trustee Floros commented that individually the relationship between board
members was very positive. Trustee Floros also commented that he thought
the referendum would be a tough sell.
General discussion followed concerning the possibility of using incineration
as a method of resolving the garbage disposal issue. During the discussion,
Mr. Boldt asked if the Village of Mount Prospect realized revenue from the
recycling program.
Trustee Hoefert commented that the revenue received does not cover the
cost of the program.
Mr. Schein indicated his interest in the drainage problem on Linneman
Road. Mr. Schein stated the paleo-history of Mount Prospect indicates that
the area of Linneman Road was the convergence of two tributaries and,
therefore, a natural channel that still exists today.
There being no further discussion, the meeting was adjourned at 11:20 am.
A tour of the Police and Fire Headquarters construction site immediately
followed the meeting.
Respectfully submitted,
Edward M. Cavello. Fire Chief
