PROCLAMATION
President Teichert proclaimed May 21, 1970 as Poppy Day.
CO~ICATIONS AND FEI'ITIONS
M~. Robert Klovstad of th~ Drainage and Clean S~reams Commission,
appeared before the Board regarding completion of the study of the Bauer Bauer Report
Report. Basically, Bauer Engineering proposed the construction of a
900 acre feet detention basin and water reclamation plat astride Weller
Creek, north of Central Road at Busse. The Commission is convinced that
such a facility is necessary and recommends that the Village undertake
the project. Following is a digest of the findings of the Cormrdssion,
which was outlined in detail in a letter to the President and Board of
Trustees re "Repor~ on Storm Water Management":
1. Mount Prospect's flooding arises out of the fact that
the intercepter sewers of the Metropolitan Sanitary
District cannot, could not and are not intended to carry
May 19, 1970
Drainage and Clean Strea~ all of the storm water run-off in the area. It was dis- closed that approximately 50% of the Vf~age is subject
Bauer Report to repeated sewer back-up. The sewers have no outlet in
storm cc~ditions.
2. The State of Illinois, Division of Waterways, is currently
widening the creek. This will not lower the creek level
sufficiently in all normal rainfall conditions. It is
not the total answer for flooding or pollution control.
The creek would have to have three times the capacity now
planned, requiring taking of land in excess of the exist-
lng right-of-way, and the loss to abutting homeowners snd
permanent value of real estate along the creek makes fur-
ther widening ~nacceptable.
3. The Metropplitan Sanitary District's "Deep Tunnel" project
would elin~h~ate flooding, but still is in the talking stage.
The Metropolitan Sanitary District plans to censtz~ct a new
treatment facility near the Northwest Tollroad and Route 83.
This will not materially relieve the Village's situation.
4. The Conmdssion investigated the possibility of covering
Weller Creek. The cost appears prohibitive end would not
resolve the flooding problem.
5. The construction of West Park and C~xm~ey basins will ~ot
affect the requirements for a basin at Central Road.
The Commission did not evaluate the realtive sharing of costs as sugges~-
ed in the Bauer Report, and makes no recommendation at this time. The
low-flow dams for the Des Plaines River are another matter on w~dh the
Commission made no recommendation. Such structures are not related to
Mount Prospect flooding but are of general benefit to the r~gion and their
cost would presumably be underwritten by other agencies. The total cost
of the project, including the low-flow dams, is estimated at $7,200~0~00.
The Commission is investigating sources of financing and will report to
the Board at a later date.
The Drainage and Clean Stre~mm Report was referred to Trustee Furst,
Chair~n of the Public Works Co~m~ittee and liaison member of the Drainage
and Clean Streams Con,mission.
STATUS REPO~ STAGE IV W~T.T,~R C~;~;K
Status Report The Village Manager reported 33 homeowners along Hiawatha and Berkshire
Stage IV Welle~ad been contacted and only one easement was acquired. President Teichert
Creek stated there was the possibility of working through the center of the
creek if easen~nts could not be obtained, but he felt it was an
educational problem. Trustee Ahem suggested two alternatives ~ 1. Re-
quest assistance of Drainage and Clean Streams Cormnission, .and 2. If
necessary, obtain temporary injunctions. Mr. Klofstad expressed willing-
ness of the Corsmission to cooperators and the matter was referred to the
· Drainage and Clean Streams Commission, Trustee Furst and The Village
Manager. Mr. Richard C. Stein, 716 S. Loois, voiced disapproval to any
proposal for widening or deepening of the creek, but stressed the need
for covering the creek as a safety measure. The Village Attorney was
requested to explore the possibility of temporary injunctions.
STATUS REPORT OF ~DRK ON WI~.T.T, #11
Status Report The Village Manager reported work on Well #tl began two weeks ago, and
Well #I! pulling the casing started May 18th. There is still approximately 750
feet to be pulled and will take possibly another week.

regular meeting of June 2, 1970.
sigualization A resolutien was presented for chang~ the signa~i~ization at the
Central & Central Road and Norhtwest Highway intersection. A resolution passed
~ Hwy in 1967 authorizing the use of MFT f~nds provided for an expenditure of
$30,000. The amending resolution allocates an additional $60,000, for
a total project cost of $90,000. It is anticipated this will be approved
for TOPICS and 75% of construction cost will be borne by those funds
as they are made available.

Trustee Furst reported on a meeting of the Noise Abatement Council Noise Abatement
regar~ O'Hare International Airport. There is a proposed grant Council regardir~
by the Federal government of 365 acres of land (the military a~rfield) O'Hare Int.
to the City of Chicago for the price of $1.,00. The property value .Airport
is $23,000,000. The Council, comprised of 30 municipalities, are
advising citizens of this grant because it would be an open door for
O'Hare to expand and to increase facilities and there would be no
control. When O'Hare was constructed the facilities called for 550,000
plane movements a year. It is estimated that in 1975 the figure would
be more like 800,000. The Council is concerned with restricting O'Hare
from expanding at will. In line with this, there will be a meeting at
the Bensenville High School on May 27th, and invitations are extended
to all people in the surrounding area to attend. A formal letter
has been directed to PreSident Nixon. The Council is hoping to get an
injunction to restrict the grant of $23,000,000 worth of land for the price
of $1.00. Citizens attendiug the meeting in Bensenville on May 27th will
be given an opportunity to sign a petition and it is hoped 2,000-3,000
nawss will be affixed.
