ROLL CALL Present upon roll call: Anderson Furst Hendri~ks Link Richardson Scholten Teichert COMMUNICATIONS AND PETITIONS Mr. Wes Pinchot, 202 I-Oka, stated that not only was there a traffic problem at the S curve on Route 83, but a condition had been created at the intersection of Route 83, Main, Evergreen, and Prospect Avenue due to traffic back-up. The pedestrian use of the intersection may have been overlooked, according to Mr. Pinchot, who demonstrated by drawings~ the cross- walks to be traversed by school children and senior citizens, as well as commuters. This~matter was refered to the Village Engineer to determine whether the pedestrian crosswalks were a matter of investigation for proper marking or a traffic control problem. The Village Engineer was requested to report his findings to the Village Manager in order that further consideration can be given to the subject at the August 7th Board Meeting. Mr. David Samber, 1811 W. Golf, Representing the Mount Shire Complex Association, requested the Board of Trustees grant a liquor license to3-D Realty and Insurance Agency for the Mount Shire Club, and submitted petitions with approximately 230 signatures affixed. Further he presented a letter addresse~ to the Board from 3-D Realty requesting a permit for a liquor license. The matter was charged to the Finance Committee and would be considered on August 2Oth. The Clerk was also requested to place this matter under "Other Business" on the August 7th agenda, giving the Board an opportunity to request an opinion from outside counsel on certain legal ramifications. Mr. Edward Rhea, 1820 Palm Drive, President of the Mount Shire Home Owners Association, explained he at- tended the meeting of the newly-formed Mount Shire Complex Association held July 22nd, and gave a synopsis of what had transpired.

About 75 persons were present. The subject matter dwelt upon alleged assurances by the Mayor of the issuance of a liquor license for the Mount Shire Ciub, the probability of calling for a special board meeting to pass an ordinance tol ~rant a l~cense, a change in zoning, if necessary, and permission to operate a bottle club, all of which Mayor Teichert catagorically denied.

Upon roll call: Present: Anderson Furst Hendricks Link Richardson Scholten ~ FLOOD CONTROL PROGRAM Mayor Teichert reported on a meeting with the Metropolitan Sanitary DiStrict, George March and Trustee Kairie with representatives from Arlington Heights regarding flood control. The Central (Bauer) Basin will be north of Central near Busse Avenue, comprised of approximately 69 acres. The plan is part of the overall under flow plan projected and approved by the MSD. The flood control project could never be built without federal funding. Mayor Teichert distributed pamphlets of the underflow plan. There will be a public hearing on this matter on July 26th. Mayor Teichert and members from Arlington Heights Village Govermment will be present to make statements in support of the underflow p~a~.~nIt has been the purpose to get the MSD to adjust their priorities in order to receive the benefits immediately. The present plan would be developing only one-half of the basin for storm water, rather than 130 acre foot storage, with understanding that in the later.development the underflow plan would complete the Central Basin to 850 acre feet. Letters will be drafted by the Mayors of Arlington Heights and Mount Prospect to Trustee Carey of the MSD formally requesting the MSD to undertake dis. cussion to the Board [or action, and both communities will draft supporting resolutions to that effect to gain the support of the MSD for the project. Through Governor Walker,s austerity program the amount of monies available for Weller Creek improvement was reduced to $50,000 while an estimated $150,000 is needed. School Street, into Des Plaines - the budget indicated $30,000 for the project but Mayor T$~chert stated the Village cannot hope the work to begin until Fall. As for Clearwater Park, Mayor Teichert stated the Village work has been completed. The present capacity is 180 acre feet. It is his understanding that in two more months the Park District work will be completed. It is the Mayor's understanding that the Village has the permission of St. Cecilia Church to proceed with the retention basin contemplated for that area, and has been granted the right to excavate and use the property as long as the Church does not need the land, 7/24/73 he Crumley Basin ' a 50 to 60 acrs foot basin, is now being rough-contoured, since Special Assessment #70 is completed. Now is the time to decide whether it is the intention of the Village to acquire the lands adjacent to Weller Creek immediately to the west, toward Central Road to further extend the Crumley basin northward in an "L" shape. The matter of funding was next under discussion, whether through property taxes and estimates as to the type of revenue and total amounts that could be realized through those particular sources. As to the use of MFT funds, oral discussions with the administration indicate some projects could be halted but this would not seem feasible. The Village Manager submitted a draft questionaire covering two subjects--garbage and flood control. Frank Cimino, 115 S. HiLusi, stated th±s would be a perfect opportunity for the Board to get the reaction of the general public as to the form of financing. The questionaire will be delivered door-to-door with the report of the Drainage and Clean Streams ~ommission on flood control. Certain revisions were made to the draft copy and it was decided to ask residents to return their questionaire by Tuesday; September 4th, and Mayor Teichert called a special meeting for September llth for further review of flood control. Trustee Scholten, seconded by Trustee Anderson, moved the Village Manager have preliminary talks with various engineering firms for the purpose of recommending to the Village or soliciting proposals, as recommended by George March.
