President Schlaver gave the following statement: Water Improve-
men~ Bonds
"The selling of the S1,128,000 water improvement issue bonds ~o Halsy, 1963
Stuart & Company at a 3.3971 net interest cost has a number of points of
significance to this village.
"First, this is a very favorable rate of interest, a distinct advantage
to the investors in our water and sewer utility~ who are our water users.
By gaining an A rating from Moody's, which is a milestone in Mt. Prospect's
history, finance experts say a saving of about 1/4% in interest rates,
or about $45,000 has been effected.
"This high rating, coupled with an AA rating from Standard & Poor's,
was not accidental. It is the result of the continued efforts of members
of this board who went to New York City to lay the ground work, the expert
financial counsel secured from Paul Speer, the efforts of Village Attorney
Ed Hofert and Finance Director James King, the promotional prospectus
prepared~ and primarily~ perhaps, the refunding of the old water revenue
bonds and the preparation of a new water and sewer bond ordinance which
replaces the hodgepodge of previous ordinances which reflected the fact
that our fine water system had grow~ like Topsy; had been s~rangled in
expansion by some of the well-meaning provisions. Now it has come of age
with a modern ordinance~ good financial reserves and above all, is armed
with provisions which make possible a continuing program of servicing and
expansion as the growth of water usage demands.
"Refunding of former bond issues~ the pa~nnent of expense involved in the
repair of Well#6~ the drilling of Well #7, which will be in service within

Sewerage Bonds
1963
a few months, the purchase of the Cook County Water system for the
servicing of our new residents of ~tlen Heights, the integration of
that system with the present system for a new water supply, the con-
nection of Well #7 with our reservoirs, the elimination of dead end
mains - - all with a reserve fo~ futume service and expansion - - has
been accomplished at no raise in water rates.
"I repeat, this was not accidental. It involved the co-operation of
Paul Spear, Finance Director James King, Engineer Art Lewis, Village
Attorney Ed Hofert, Village Manager Harold Apple~y, Water Superintendent
Dave Creamer, members of the Village Board and many others.
"Fom all who have helped, I extend sincere appreciation.

Motion carried.

drawn for further amendments.
Trustee Ekren presented a petition for annexation and rezoning Public
from Public Service Company for their right-of-way area running north- Service C¢
ward and nomtheast from the toll road to Linneman Road, together with annexatio~
their substation at Golf and Busse Roads.
Trustee Ekren, seconded by Trustee Phillips, moved that the Board of
Appeals be directed to hold pre-annexation hearing on this zoning request
and that annexation petition be held by the Village Clerk pending outcome
of ~his hearing.
Upon ro~l call: Ayes: Bergen Bickley Bruhl
Casterline Ekren Phillips
Motion carried.
T~ustee Ekren read the following report and portions of memo
from the Zoning Board re Case 63-11: Zoning
Case 63-11
Re: Case 63-11, heard May 31, 1963, E. L. Trendel et al
This case is a petition for rezoning to R-3, contingent upon
annexation, of lots 11 to and including lot 20 and lots 45 to and in-
cluding lot 58, located in the Lake Briarwood Subdivision.
June 11, 1963
oning The Zoning Board of Appeals voted 5-0 to recommend that
Case 63-11 this rezoning be denied.
Trendel
The Lake Briarwood Homeowner's AssoCiation presented an
objection to the annexation and rezoning.
From the memo:
" proposed rezoning would endanger public health, safety --
and welfare in that:
1. A fire hazard exists in funneling all traffic into
Algonquin Road via a narrow Two-way street, for
ingress and egress into the subdivision.
2. Approximately 140 apartment units would be stacked
behind single family residences, adding to the
traffic congestion of Briarwood Drive.
3. Petitioner expressed no interest in providing
additional ingress or egress to this subdivision.
The Lake Briarwood Homeowners Association initiated suit for a rehearing
to reverse zoning from County R-5 to single family zoning. The rehearing
held, but no decision has yet been rendered.
Petitioners now have County R-5 zoning, and with sewer and water available
from private utilities can proceed with their projec= as planned. It
seems evident that this petition is presented to protect the apartment
zoning of the petitioners.
E. F. Martin, Chairman
Richard H. Monroe, Acting Sec'y
This case was referred to the Judiciary ~ommittee.
Trustee Ekren read the following report re Case 63-13, Emil J.
Zoning and Florence Curtis:
Case 63-13
Curtis Farm This case is a request for rezoning to R-4, contingent upon
annexation, of property located south of Golf Road between Meier Road,
Goebbert Road, Seegers Road and the Forest View High School.
The Zoning Board of Appeals voted 4-1 to recommend that the
rezoning be denied.
There were no objectors present.
E. F. Martin, Chalr~an
Richard H. ~onroe~ Acting Sec'y
This case was refer~ed to the Judiciary Committee.
Trustee Ek~en read the following report from the Zoning Board
Zoning
Case 63-14 re Case 63-14, Walter Johnson:
Walter Johnson This case is apetition for rezoning to B-3 contingent upon
United Plaza annexation of property located 731 feet~southeasterly of Busse Road
on the north side of Algonquin. ~-~
The petitioner agreed to amend the request for rezoning to
B-2.
The Board or'Appeals voted 5-0 to recommend that the rezoning
be approved as amended.
The Board of Appeals found that:
1. The property is located between a business development
and an apartment development and would be in keeping
with the character of the area.
June 11, 1963
2.Traffic control in and around the property is
considered adequate.
3.A definite need appears to exist in the general
area for uses as planned.
There were no objectors present.
E. F. Martin, Chairman
Richard H. Monroe, Acting Sec'y.
This case was referred to the Judiciary Committee.
Discussion was held regarding Zoning Case 63-10, Trendel's Zoning
application for annexation and rezoning to R-4 of property south on Case 63-10
Busse Road (see minutes of May 7). T~ustee Bickley objected to allowing Trendel
this R-4 zoning, reminding the Board that meetings had been held with
adjacent towns and with Cook County regarding the. abundance of apartment
zoning, pointing out that Mount Prospect could not very well allow more
R-4 (390 apts.) in that a~ea after having objected to County-s allowance
of similar zoning. Trustee Ekren replied that the die was cast with
the Tally Ho apartments close by; that this area is abutted by Public
Service right-of-way and by school bus parking area, with industrial
across the street; it would not be suitable for single family residence.
Trustee Phillips felt that in this case R-4 was suitable, inasmuch as
previous development by Tally Ho hadestablished type of use. T~ustee
Bickley thought that industrial zoning WOuld be more suitable.
Mr. P. R. Batemann, 307 Manawa, arose and stated that he agreed with
Trustee Bickley - - apartments increased the taxes~ did not pay their
share of the load due to additional schools and services. He favored
industry, not apartment zoning.
Attorney Hofert pointed out that any annexation ordinance would have to
have a vote of five out of seven, which includes the President.
Trustee Ekren, seconded by Trustee Bergen, moved to concur
with the opinion of the zonin~ board to grant this rezoning and annexa-
tion in Case 63-10 and to authorize the Village Attorney to draft the
necessary ordinances of annexation and rezoning.
Upon roll call: Ayes: Bergen, Bruhl Ekren Phillips
Nays: Bickley Casterline
Motion declared carried byPresident Schlaver, who indicated
that he did not favor this rezonlng.

"To: Street Committee Manawa
From: Village Manager Trail
Subject: Manawa Trail Paving Paving
June 7~ 1963
Mr. Iverson has been infommed of the Board's action on Special
Assessments and of its desire to have a guarantee if it granted him a
building permit prior to the confirmation of the Special Assessment.
Mr. Iverson met with the Village Attorney~ Village Engineer and
Village Manager and because a special assessment cannot assure him that a
paved road will be available to his lot by October, he has suggested that:
1. He (Iverson) pay for the pavement in front of his lot
and the lot west of him.
2. That the Park District pave the entire north side of
Manawa Trail from Nawata to one lot east of Candota.
3. That this would leave the south half of Manawa Trail
abutting the lots on either side of Candota to be
included in the special assessment as well as the
entire block between Nawata and See Gwun.
That he is to present plans of his proposal, a contract
To do the work at a given price and the money with
which to pay for the construction, engineering and
inspection.
The Attorney has ~greed that this will solve his immediate
problem of paved access to his lot and will let those willing to do the
work on a voluntary basis do So."

Mount Prospect Village Board
Mount Prospect, Illinois
Gentlemen:
Attached you wilt find a report of the Mount Prospect
Public Library for the fiscal year May 1, 1963 to April 30, 1963.
The building is now complete even to the air conditioning
which is in operation, and is in such full use that we have already
had to order and install two more tables and ten chairs.
You will note that in spite of the library's being closed
to the public for a month because of the building activities, and
although it was not possible to conduct%h~' Summer Reading Club
last year, there w~ still a circulation of almost 188,000 books to
13,608 borrowers.
With increased shelf space we have' been able to increase
the book collection by ordering 2,142 adult books, and 1,758 juvenile
books - a total of 3,898. Plans for 1963-84 include a further ex-
pansion of the book collection. Thgre are 90 magazines and period-
icals regularly received at present. New subscriptions include
several in the field of business, such as investment and advisory
services.
The contract with the Chicago Public Library has been re-
newed for another year, under which we have a loan of some 1000
non-fiction books to supplement ou~ collection. This brings our
book resources to more than 30,000 volumes.
We are indebted to the Friends of the Library not only
for material gifts but for conducting the pre-school story hour and
'for acting as hostesses at the opening reception, and for helping
with Summer Reading Club records
May public school classes - and parolchial school
classes - have come with their teachers to become acquainted with
the library. We have had 'several visiting groups f~om out-of-town
who a~e planning their own new building. Remarks on the planning
decor have been most complimentary.
We are confident that the library and its services will
be an asset to the Village for many years to come.
Yours very truly~
Dorothy Kester

President Sehlaver read the following proclamation:
PROCLAMATION OF PRESIDENT SCHLAVER
REGARDING THE FOURTH OF JULY
WHEREAS, July 4th is a day dedicated to the independence of
ou~ nation, a day which serves as a reminder to our elder residents
of the many freedoms which we enjoy in the United States of America,
AND WHEREAS the new generation, our youth, need perhaps
physical reminders of what the flag of the United States means as a
symbol of such independence and freedoms,
I HEREBY, through the authority vested in me as Village
President of Mount Prospect, Illinois, declare that this July ~ of
1983 shall be heralded with the universal display of flags on our
June 11, lg63
esidences and businesses. To this end I ask the members of
various civic, youth, veterans' and service organizations to
appeal to their members to co-operate in such a showing of flags,
as a fitting backdrop for the joint civic festival in which the
Chamber of CommeNce, the Lions Club, the Park District and various
other groups are joining.
Such flag display should be accompanied by the Pinging
of bells in the churches at 10 A.M. for a period of ten minutes
as a further means of reminding our residents that this is a day
truly set apart to p~oclaim our freedom, won by national indepen-
dence.
PROCLAIMED this llth day of JUNE, 1983.

representatives of Arlington Heights and Des Plaines regarding in-
terconnection of water systems through adjoining streets, to be

dent requested Attorney Hofert to prepare suitable ordinance incor-
porating these conditions.
Attorney Hofert reported that mo~ of his time and that
