COFFEE WITH COUNCIL
September 10, 1994
The meeting was called to order by Mayor Gerald L. Farley at 9:00 a.m. Trustees
present were George Clowes, Timothy Corcoran, Paul Hoefert, Michaele Skowron and
Irvana Wilks. Also present were Assistant to the Village Manager David Strahl and
Police Chief Ronald Pavlock. Village residents present were: Charles Klein, Mr. & Mrs.
Zapfel, Frank Smith, Harold Hinrichs and Douglas Moore.
Charles Klein, 1518 Park Drive, expressed his concern with the number of persons
working on landscaping for the Village. He was also concerned about trees and what
they are doing to the sidewalks and sewers. It was explained that this work is usually
contracted out. This information was passed onto Director Weeks.
Mr. & Mrs. Zapfel, 321 N. Maple, complained about the water taste during August.
They reported they called the Water Superintendent who explained about temperature
change during the summer. Dave Strahl explained that this does happen due to algae
composition. Trustee Skowron explained that even though the taste may change, the
water is safe. The Water Superintendent should check further.
Frank Smith, 903 Quince, reported there is poison ivy by the railroad tracks off
Kensington and also on the north side of Burning Bush. Poison ivy has wrapped itself
along a light standard/fence. Mr. Smith also questioned the number of garbage cans
and recycling bins for a large family. A general discussion ensued about the
responsibilities we have to recycle.
Hal Hinrichs, 206 S. loka, stated he has lived in Mount Prospect since 1951 and
discussed its past history. He explained he is a past Trustee and made positive
comments on services of the Village.
Trustee Irvana Wilks stated Giordino's Pizza has still not been repaired. Advised that
the Village has sent notices and staff is keeping an eye out.
A discussion was held on Trustee Clowes' memo regarding moving the Coffee with
Council meeting to different locations. The general consensus was to keep the same
Coffee with Council schedule, but to look for alternative dates to move around the
Village, i.e., every month that there is a fifth Tuesday.
The meeting was adjourned at 10:50 a.m
the Historical Museum groundbreaking.
