It was estimated by Mayor Seic.hert that the total amount
of license fees which-the Village will collect will in
no way cover the .entire cost'expended by the Village in
regulating businesses, but would recover roughly 50% of
the total costs involved.

STATUS REPORT DAMP COMMISSION COMM. ROBERT TEEPE
Comm. Teepe was invited by the Board to discuss the Status Report
present status of the DAMP Commission and its study on tbe Damp
of future water supply. Since the Supreme Court Commission
ruled in 1970 that other municipalities could draw
water from Lake Michigan further consideration was
given to hooking up with Chicago or as members of
DAMP the municipalities go directly to the lake. The
Chicago and North Western Railway has consented to
the proposal of using the right-of-way along the
tracks.
March 28, 1972
Des Plaines does at the present time have oipes
connected with Chicago water lines. Figures
presented would have to be revised if the other
towns should elect to go to Chicago for water.
It is estimated Mount Prospect will have to
seek another source of supply of water by 1978.
The Commission suggested alternatives sucn as
mentioned above or sharing oipelines with "Tree --
"Tree Towns" Towns". The Commission is awaiting a report
report -April is{rom "Tree Towns" due April 1st.
The Village Engineer reoort that Chicago will
not guarantee the pressure at the end of the
line. The water must be delivered to a water
storage tank.in the Village system for two
times the maximum daily requirements. Mr.
Dicke offered as another alte~mnative the in-
reconversion of vestigation of reconversion of water at"the sew-
water ay the age treatment plant to be erected at Elmhurst
sewerage treat-m~ Oakton.
menv plant to
be erected May or Teichert talked about the possible
inconveniences and increase of rates if the
DAMP Commission were to go to Chicago and
their complete reliance upon service from the
City. He polled the Board'informally to deter-
mine the sense of the Board and Trustees
Richardson, Ahenn, Scholten and Furst felt if
the allocation were available the Villages
should go to Lake Michigan direct for an in-
dependent supply.. Trustee Anderson sta~ed
he favored tying in to Chicago water lines.
Comm. Teepe was advised that it was the
Board's specific proposal to work through
DAMP to go directly to Lake Michigan for its
supply of water. Mayor Teichert recommended
we transmit to Arlington Heights, Palatine and
Des Plaines that when the allocation is made
it is the Vi!lage's intent to pursue the matter
to get a serious program under way.
