"The Public Works Committee will make its recommendation at the February 3 approval of
Village Board Meeting so that School District 57, if it wishes, rm~y send a minutes
representative to the meeting. No representative was present at the tLme
of the Public Works Committee report. Trustee Norris, seconded by Trustee
Reiter, moved the Board concur in the recommendation of the Public Works
Corm~ittee that the Village of Mount Prospect will not share in the cost of
in~0roving and paving a parking lot at Westbrook School. No policy has been
established by the Village Board on the subject of sharing tax monies with
other taxing bodies and this request would, if granted, set a precedent."

"Street lights with underground wiring at Fairview Gardens was considered
by the Public Works Committee. Several residents of ~Fairview Gardens were in
attendance at the committee meeting and some of them were opposed to any
additional assessments or contributions at this time. Mr. Hendricks, re-
presenting the Falrview Gardens Civic Association indicated 145 homeowners
replying to a questionnaire indicated they would be willing to pay approximately
$50.00 per home for ornamental poles mud underground wiring. About 75 were
opposed to it and balance of the 293 homeowners did not reply. Basically
less than one-half of the residents were favorable to the project. The
Civic Association felt a special assessment was the only alternative and
our Village Attorney was of the opinion that this was not feasible. Mr.
Hendricks indicated a letter would be sent to the Village with reference to
the installation of ornamental poles and underground wiring; also requesting~
the Village consider adopting a policy requi ~rir~g. lighting syster~ with
