Trustee Teichert read the following Finance Committee report: Re: AdvertisSng for bids on police cars at scheduled times. Our police cars have a use expectancy of about 60,000 miles, at which time they are ~eplaced. This is an experience factor which, in itself, normally dictates the time for purchasing a new police oa~. Each police car logs about 5000 miles per month, and this ex- cessive and continual use results in a rapid deterioration rate. This is a factor which makes it deslrahle to avoid undue delay in advertising for bids and making the purchase. Our police csms are utilized in a manner designed to distribute total monthly mileage equally among all oars but this is not always readily ~ac¢omplished since we cannot control all circum- stances and conditions which keepa cam in service or contri- bute To its depz~eci&tidn;. Also, the bidders have periods of time when they cannot make prompt delivery. These are factors which require our anticipating our needs and soliciting bids at the proper time. The Police Committee recommends that the Village Manager be authorized on a contiDuingbasis and until other wise directed ~.~ by this Board, to advertise for bids for the purchase of a ~ ' police car to replace any police car thathas loggedaPproximately ~ ~ 50~000 miles. Trustee Teichert, seconded by T~ustee GritTani, moved as follows: That the Village Manager be authorized~ on a ¢~ntinuing basis and until otherwise directed by this Board, to advertise for bids for the purchase of a police car to ~eplace any police car that has logged approximately $0,000 miles, within the limits of The bud- geT, advising the Board when the specifications are changed.

President Congreve set a date of June 2nd for The Board Tech Search to mept with Tech Seamch, Inc. to discuss finalizing of contracts. P~esident Congreve asked the Village Attorney for a memo- ,-' ra~dum on procedures of controlling nuisances such asdumping junk and weeds in vacant lots and.on Village properties, mulsances President Congreve referred to memo from Village~Manager as follows: - May 24, 1965 To: Police Committee Re: LOUIS STREET Louis Street from Rand Road to Thayer STreet is only Louis St. May 25, 1965 half dedicated. It was a one-way street with t~affic moving north only in the County. Now that it has been annexed to Louis St,. the Village, the Code should be amended to include this as a one-way st-~eet or the signs should be removed. Chief Whittenberg's recommendation is that the one-way street should be continued and our code amended acoordingly. P~esident Congreve directed the Village Attorney to prepare the proper ordinance, to be then refer~ed over~,to the Police Committee for their recommendation. Pmesident Congreve refer~ed to the following memo: May 18, 1965 To: Village Manager From: Village Engineer Traffic Signals Re: T~affic Signals - Main and Central Main g Central The Central Road improvements by the County are going to require the relocation of the existing traffic signals at Main Street. The plans for these improvements are now in Mr. Wildeson's of- lice for the State Highway Department's approval. Since the traffic signals must be moved, Mr. Wildesom feels that the Vil- lage shOUld upgrade the signals wheh~Centrat Road is improved so that they confor~ with the State's Manual of Unifor9% Traffic Control Devices. Mr. Wildeson wants to know what the Village proposes to do with these signals before he approves the CoQnty's plans. I talked with Mr. Engler of C. T. & A. and he estimates that it may cost between $10,000 and $15,000 to update the present signals, (We cannot put left turn arrows at Main and Central because Central if not wide enough for a left ~urn lane). I feel that this is a good time to up-grade these signals since the State is going to r~quire that all signals must conform to the State's Manual within the next couple of years. Ben Hemmeter The Central Road signal problem was referred to Engineer Hem~neter. P~esident Congreve-read the following memo from Village Manager Appleby: 2-hr. park Maple Re: 2-hr. Parking on Maple It appears from a complaint form that at least one car is parking all day on Lincoln Avenue between Maple andSchool. This could be adjoining our parking lot. Police suggest extending 2-hr. parking limit to this block~ and I agree. The above matter was referredto the police Co~nittee. Trustee Colfer reported f~om the Water Committee garding the meeting with the firm of Greeley & Mansen. Trustee Greeley & Hansen Colfert seconded by T~ustee Bergen, moved that the Board suspend contract with the firm of Greeley & Hansen until such time as we can agree on the content of their contract~ this is an open-end contract and can be suspended for a period of time and/or changed.
