Trustee Ekren gave first reading of annexation or- Annexations dinance which would annex certain properties in theBrickman area Riverhurst- east of Randhurst and an area known as Riverhurst lying north of Brickman Rand Road, south of Foundry and east of Highway ~83. President area Schlaver read the following letter from himself as president of the Village to Attorney Robert Downing, who represents the peti- tioners for annexation: Dear Mr. Downing: The annexation of the Brickman Manor area ~nd a portion of the Northern Illinois Gas Company property to the Village of Mount Prospect represents the climax of many months of discussion between the village~ home owners' representatives and yourself as counsel. The Village Board in endorsement of this communication states that it will be happy to add the residents of this area to the Mount Prospect family and they will enjoy the same rights and privileges as any other residents. September 10, 1963 In annexing the area, the Mount Prospect Village Board wishes that there be no misunderstanding of the terms of the annexa- tion. The land, homes, streets, etc. are accepted as is. The Village assumes responsibility for policing, the cleaning and maintenance of streets and the removal of snow. Full library privileges will be extended. Services will be the same as given to other sections comprising the Village. We do, however, wish to point out that there is no implied or otherwise understanding that the Village must purchase the water and sewer utility now serving the Brickman Manor area. It is a project of such magnitude that a purchase is not immi- nent. If a supply of water from Lake Michigan should become available it is possible that a plan could be formulated. But this is something that only time and resultant conditions can decide. It is suggested to the residents of the area that inasmuch as they now have an attorney representing them that immediately after annexation steps should be initiated for the disconnec- tion of the territory from the rural fire district. Such steps legally must be initiated by the area rather than by the Village. Every co-operation will be extended. The annexation ordinance given first reading tonight will be up for passage at the next meeting of the Village Board on Tuesday evening, September 16, 1@83. If the statements made in this lettem are satisfactory it is expected that affirmative action will be taken at that dme. Sincerely, C. O. Schlaver, President Trustee Ekren, seconded by Trustee Bruhl, moved that the president be authorized to send the foregoing letter ~o Attorney Downing as read in the meeting of the Board, with car- bon copy to Mr. Robert Colfer, president of the homeowners' association.
