A Resolution authorizing execution of a Restrictive Covenant for the subject property. Approve the Manglardi & Rosen Plat of Subdivision The Zoning Board of Appeals and Plan Commission recommended granting these requests. Residents living Within the Hill Street Subdivision, located immediately behind the proposed office building, expressed their concern relative to whether the entrance to this building would be on Rand Road or Hill Street. Other areas of concern were: Location of refuse containers Lighting of the parking lot Hours of operation Landscaping Flood control Design and materials to be used in construction Location of the heating and air conditioning units Location of the sign Removal of old, used utility poles The Petitioner stated that he had submitted a request to the Illinois Department of Transportation for the curb cut on Rand Road however, he had not received a reply.

It was noted that the plans required by IDOT include topographic information, storm water management plans, etc. and if the request for the curb cut on Rand Road is denied the Petitioner would have to have additional engineering plans drawn showing the curb cut on Hill Street, which would be a duplication of costs.

Page 5 - April 16, 1991 REFUSE CONTRACT Inasmuch as there were many residents in the audience interested in expressing their opinions on the subject of refuse collection and recycling, which was listed towards the end of the agenda, Mayor Farley moved discussion of the refuse contract from the Village Manager's Report up to this point in the meeting. The subject of the new refuse contract, effective August 1, 1991, had been discussed at the last Committee of the Whole meeting. At that meeting the administration presented bid results, pursuant to the specifications established by staff. It was noted that the recommendation of staff was to accept the bid proposal that expanded the recycling materials to include plastic bottles and tin as well as limit residential service to one 32 gallon container per household with a charge of $1.25 for each additional container. It was explained that with the expansion of the recycling program, the amount of refuse would be reduced and the limit of one container would encourage residents to recycle more products. There was discussion among the members of the Board that one container could place a hardship on residents, especially those with large families. It was suggested that the residents have a period of time to become more aware of the importance of recycling before any limitation as to the number of containers permitted without additional charges is imposed. The new refuse program will also apply to multi-family households by charging a fee for the size of the dumpster rather than the existing program which is a flat charge per pickup. Trustees Busse and Floros expressed their support for an expanded recycling program, however, they did not support a limitation on the number of containers, suggesting instead that the existing program remain and then review the amount of refuse generated in a year or so before considering the implementation of limited containers. An alternate proposal was presented to allow 2 containers per household rather than the proposed one container. The following residents spoke in favor of the expanded recycling program but opposed the proposed limitation on the number of refuse containers: Ann Mc Fadden, 206 South Wille Idyl Nipper, 1220 East Cardinal Lane Mr. & Mrs. Borquest, 523 N. Emerson George Clowes, 604 South Elm Kevin Chapman, 612 South Louis Bob O'Shanasey, 1204 Greenwood Phillip Schreiber Bill Tucker, 108 S. School Irene Mueller ,510 S. See Gwun Brian Grey, 217 S. Wille Trustee Corcoran, seconded by Trustee Van Geem, moved to concur with the recommendation of the administration that effective August 1, 1991, the expanded recycling program be implemented with a limit of two 32 gallon Page 6 - April 16, 1991 ill · containers, and that any additional container must hav~ a sticker, purchased by the resident at a cost of $1.25, affixed. Upon roll call: Ayes: Corcoran, Van Geem, Weibel Nays: Busse, Floros, Farley Motion f~iled. Trustee Weibel, seconded by Trustee Floros, moved to expand the recycling program August 1, 1991, and following a period of time to educate the resident, implement the 2 container limitation effective April 1, 1992. Upon roll call: Ayes: Van Geem, Weibel, Farley Nays: Busse, Corcoran, Floros Motion failed. Trustee Corcoran, seconded by Trustee Van Geem, moved to expand the recycling program August 1, 1991, and implement the 2 container limitation effective February 1, 1992. Upon roll call: AYes: Corcoran, Van Geem, Weibel, Farley Nays: Busse, Floros Motion carried. It was suggested that the administration ask the cooperation of several families'in the Village to monitor the amount of refuse in order to get a better idea of the impact of this program. The Village Board will review the results of the monitoring and expanded recycling program at a Committee of the Whole meeting in January, 1992. The bids submitted for the refuse contract are as follows, with a complete tabulation attached to these minutes: Bidder Total Laidlaw $8,373,001 Arc Disposal 8,250,812 Waste Management 8,881,574 BFI 9,685,468 Trustee Corcoran, seconded by Trustee Weibel, ARC moved to.concur with the recommendation of DISPOSAL the administration and accept the low qualified bid submitted by ARC Disposal for the refuse contract effective 8/1/91 through 7/31/94 at a cost not to exceed $8,250,812. Upon roll call: Ayes: Busse, Corcoran, Floros, Van Geem, Weibel Nays: None Motion carried. The subject of considering the request to create a full time position of Waste Coordinator was presented. Page 7 - ~pril 16, 1991 It was stated that a great deal of time will have to be devoted to educating the residents, especially multi-family complexes, on the new refuse program and due to the work load of existing staff, it is suggested that this full time position be created with a salary around $35,000. Several suggestions were presented relative to this proposal, such as asking Arc Disposal to subsidize 50% of this cost; have 2 part time employees which would reduce the cost to the Village; or have the Village's Network 50 Program interview candidates. It was also suggested that when the program has been implemented and residents fully informed of the refuse program that this position would be eliminated. Village Manager Dixon stated that when appropriate, all positions no longer essential to the operation are phased out. This subject will be discussed at a future meeting.
