September 1, 196~ resident's Proclamation President $chlaver proclaimed the week of August 30- September 7 as Labor Safety Week. Street President Schlaver read'letter from the Rev. Leo P. cog&ins praising the members of the Street Department for their~ prompt ~a~d efficient labor after the series of storms, in clearing the streets. __ President Schlaver read statement regarding tree Trees replacement program as follows: Replacement program September l, 1964 The Honorable Boar~ of Trustees Gentlemen: I am sure that it is a matter of concern to my fel- low board members, as it is to me, that the frequent occu~ence of crippling s:orms has caused extreme damage to ou~ elm trees on the parkways of the Village of Mount Prospect. We have been fortunate that these storms have caused no loss of life as they did in A~lington Heights this summer which led to the removal of trees along Northwest Heighway by that municipality. These storms have pointed up the fact, it occurs to me, that expenditures of money in the future should be directed as much toward the replacement of parkway trees as it whould be towards saving those now standing. In cutting down ~rees badly damaged by the wind it has been revealed that many of the older trees are rotten, are afflicted with other diseases than Dutch Elm, and we will surely lose m~y of the elms in the future. -- Thus I ask that consideration of this board, and particularly of the s~reets committee headed by Trustee Caster- line, be given to a replacement program which may for the pur- poses of the present fiscal year drain off some of the money which had been set aside for pruning and spraying. It is m~ thoughtful consideration ~hat Mount Prospect, either alone or in combination with other villages in a program which well could be established through the Northwest Municipal Conference, embark in a reforestation program starting essen- tially with the leasing of p~operty for the purpose of planting small ~rees which would be ready for moving into our parkways in a few yea~s. Such a p~ogram, I believe, would save ~his and other municipalities money and we would be acting wisely for the future. I hope that the streets' committee will gi~e this project every consideration to determine if it is feasible~ Sincerely, Village of Mount Prospect Presiden~ Appointments Presidmmt Sohlaver read l~tter from Manager Appleby Pecoraro to asking for concurrence of the Board in his appointment of Mr. Buildin§ Supt. Peco~amo as superintendent of Building~ August 18, 196~ ~ear ~r. Schlaver: ~r. Douglas Ca.ney has indicated his desire to retire September 1, 1964 rom Village serVice because of disabi.lity not later than Buildin~ Supt. October 15th, 196~. It is sincerely regretted that his Appointment physical condition is such that he deems it necessary ~o give up his position as Superintendent of building. In order that his health may not be jeopardized by physicalexertion or by nervous tensions it is recommended that he be relieved of his responsibilities as Superintendent of Building as of August 18, 196~ but that he continue making such building inspections and doing such special studies as he can. At the same time, by virtue of his years of experience, he can help his successo~ in becoming acquainted with his duties. When Mr. Carney leaves the Village employ, he would like to be permitted to continue with the Village's hospitali- zation program at his own expense. Without establishing a precedent, because each such request should be considered in- dividually, it is reco=mended that his ~equest be granted. It is recommended that Joseph Pecouaro be named to the office of Superintendent of Building effective August at ~he salary of $8~00 per year. Mr. Pecoraro is a graduate of Chicago Technical College building construction department. He was a brick layer for six=een years. He served for approxi- mately two years as assistant superintendent and inspector for Herzog Construction Company at Waycindin Park and in a similar capacity for A1 Prank of Buffalo Grove superivising all con- st~uctlon work in these developments. Mr. Pecoraro has served as Building Inspector since April, 1959 and to the exten~ of his ability as Electrical Inspector from March, 1962 to July, 196~. He is well qualified by his expe~ience and his knowkedge of Mount P~ospec~ construc- tion codes to handle the technical aspectsof this office. His character and reputation a~e above reproach. He has the ability to secure voluntary compliance with the codes and the forceful- ness to insist on compliance if that is necessary. He was cently honored with a resolution of com~aendation by the Northwest Municipal Conference Building Officials which he served as secre- tary 1962-3 and as President 1963-~. Sincerely yours, H. Ge Appleby Village Manager Trustee Bergen asked for a ~ecess to discuss this matter. The Board recessed at 10:23 P.M. and re-convened at 11:08 P.M. T~ustee Casterline, seconded by T~ustee Phillips, moved to concur in the appointment of Mr. Joseph Pecoraro as Building Superintendent.
