The petitioner in this case proposes subdividing the subject property into 4 lots and constructed 3 single family homes on the east portion, two to be located on Lonnquist and one off Chris Lane. The residents in the area had objected to the proposed lot design for the lot off Chris Lane, however, following further review, they requested the Village Board to approve the original plan due to the fact that if the land housing the existing home is subdivided in the future, then the original design would create a compatible configuration. Trustee Arthur, seconded by Trustee Floros, moved to waive the rule requiring two readings of an Ordinance in order to consider the rezoning. Upon roll call: Ayes: Arthur, Farley, Floros, Krause Nays: Murauskis, Van Geem Motion carried.

An Ordinance establishing a referendum for submission of a HISTORICAL public question at the next municipal election on MUSEUM March 15, 1988 was presented for a second reading. Mayor Krause stated that the original intend of this Ordinance was to establish the opinion of the residents as to whether a .01% tax should be levied against real estate for the purchase and ongoing financial support of a permanent historical museum.. Due to concerns expressed by members of the Village Board that the Village should be able to include the anticipated $55,000 per year expenditure rather than conducting a referendum, it was the concensus of opinion that the proposed Ordinance be withdrawn and financial support would be solicited from private donations from local businesses and residents. It was also noted that due to the fact that the house being proposed as the permanent historical museum, located at 101S. Maple Street, needs renovation, School District 214 will participate with the Village in the work needed. The First Chicago Bank, being the owner of the property, has established a sales price of $98,000, with a $16,000 donation to the private funding project. Trustee Murauskis, seconded by Trustee Floros, moved to authorize entering into an Agreement with the First Chicago Bank for the purchase of 101 and 103 S.

This EXCESS insurance is essentially the same coverage as 1987 with COVERAGE the exception of the Public Officials' Liability, deductible will be increased from $10,000 to $50,000. David Jepscn, Director of Finance, stated that additional proposals were requested from various insurance carriers, however this is the only proposal submitted. There was concern expressed relative to the coverage for public officials and due to the fact that the Village has no way of knowing if a suit is pending against the Village, it was the opinion of the members of the Board that coverage should include that possibility. Trustee Arthur, seconded by Trustee Murauskis, moved to concur with the recommendation of the administration and accept the proposal of excess insurance coverage submitted by Arthur & Gallagher & Co. which coverage will cost $146,998.00 Upon roll call: Ayes: Arthur, Farley, Murauskis, Van Geem Nays: Floros Motion carried. Village Manager Dixon gave a status report on the creation SPECIAL of Special Service Area No. 6, being the improvement of a SERVICE portion of Albert and George Streets.
