PURCHAS~ OF VI~ RE LIQUOR LICENSE
The prospective buyers of the VFW were to meet with the Finance
Committee to discuss their need for a liquor license.
Since they did not appear at either of the last two meetir~s, it
is requested that this item be dropped from Committee. Approved.
PARKING MEltER t~ATE - M~tPLE STREET IXTf
Parking Meter T'h~ Committee voted 2-0 to increase the parking rates in the
Rate - Maple Street eo~muter parking lot from 205 to 255. The 5~ increase
Maple St Lot moes not appear to be out of line considering that other to}~s
in the area are charging as high as 50~ for the same service. Mount
Prospect will realize approximately $2500 a year in additional
revenue as a result of this increase. The Committee also recommends
that the use of the Maple Street parking lot be restricted to Mount
Prospect residents only.
r,,krch 21, 1967
he matter had also been referred to the Public Works Committee.
TT~stee Teichert stated his Committee was of the opinion the
rate suggested is extremely low.
After considerable discussion it was decided to strike the
matter from both Committees and charge the Finance Committee with
a parking survey. Approved.
APPROPRIATION TRANSFER ORDINANCE
For the 'first time, the Village of Mount Prospect is adoptin~ the
practice of transferring funds within Departments. Although this
condition existed in part, no qTansfer Ordio~nce was ever adopted. Appropriation
~his is to offset overruns in a given Object .Class or purpose withTr~a~,sfer
underruns in andthe Object Class or purpose w~thin the authority Ordinance
g~anted by the statutes of the State of Illinois.
The adjustments should normally be made as we approach the end
of the fiscal year, in order to be as current as possible and
incorporate the c~nges in the year ending financial reports.
At the same time the department heads have an excellent opportunity
to review the past year's operations while they are in the process
of preparing the following year's budget.
After review~g the~trausfers with the Village R~nager and the
Finance Director, the Finance Committee recommends by a vote of
2-0 that the Transfer Ordinance be presented to the Village Board
for approval.
Trustee Gritt~i, seconded by Trustee Bergen, moved tm concur
with the reconmendation of the Finance Committee, and direct the
attorney to prepare an ordinance. Unanimous.

tenance contract and they sold out to Meade Electric in August.
Meade Electric ~as been maintaining the lights since that time on

Co~01ete maintenance per
intersection $76.50 $69.00

but they did not offer a complete maintenance contract. They
perform the service on a call basis, charging time and material at
cost, plus 20% and 85 per mile.

to R-l, concurring with the Plan Commission.
Mr. Robert Irmiger, ll S. LaSalle, beneficial owner of Lot 16 in
Block l, objected to the rezone. The following minority report
from the Plan Comission was read:
'The Village, in rezoning Lot 16 from R-3 to R-1 may
be thrusting a hardship upon the owner in creating an
unmarketable piece of .property as single Family
residence. This, coupled with the fact that the owner
of the property has strongly objected to the rezoning,
· overrides, in our opinion, our reason of mere con-
sistency in rezoning. Some members replied that the
property is marketable as R-1."
Mr. Irmiger claimed this is spot zoning.

good offices to resist the building of the proposed structure,
and obtain agreement of Arlington Heights to refuse further
applications for business structures on the south ~ide of
