Trustee Bruhl asked that memorandum regarding insurance

the minutes of this meeting. Said memo follows below: Insurance
for
M E M 0 R A N D U M Library
To: Each Member of the Mt. Prospect Library Board
Subject: Mt. Prospect Library Insurance
Date: December 1, 1961
From: Harry R. Bruhl, Chairman, Finance Committee
Shortly after April BO, 1961, the Finance Committee of the
Village Beard deemed it appropriate to study the Village Insurance program.
As none of the Board members had a broad insurance background, we solicited
assistance from a group of dedicated citizens with considerable insurance
experience. The Village Board commissioned a "Citizens Insurance Committee"
consisting of five members, each a specialist in a specific phase of
insurance work. The commission was limited to an advisory capacity and
it was required that members waive participation rights as insurance

agents, as far as Village Insurance was concerned.
This "Insurance Committee" rendered an extensive report
a few weeks later. The report was presented in two phases.
Phase A covered recommendations concerning the present year which had
been under, binder since May 1, 1961. Phase B covered recommendations
for the insurance program for the next fiscal year commencing May 1,
1962. Upgrading coverage to the point of adequacy and potential
premium savings were the basic objectives of both phases of the report.
Phase B included the additional benefits accruing from careful prepar-
ation of insurance specifications and from placing insurance purchases
on a sealed bid basis.
Throughout both phases of the report there were many
references regarding the Mt. Prospect Library. Some of these points
were of a serious nature, but as the Library does not.fall under the
Jurisdiction of the Village Board it is appropriate that this infor-
mation be forwarded to you as members of the proper body of juris-
diction.
As a matter of information regarding the Village Board
action to date: The present policies were modified in accordance with
recommendations in Phase A of the report (with the exception of the
Library, of course). At present the "Insurance Committee" and Village
Treasurer are Jo~utly preparing the insurance specifications for next
year's policies. They are attemptingto complete this work prior to
January 1, 1962, in order to allow sufficient time to effect the
sealed bid procedure.
If it is the desire of the Library Board to inquire into
the subject, this Finance Committee would welcome the opportunity of
a joint committee meeting. If your Board does not feel that a joint
meeting is appropriate, the Citizens Insurance Committee will be
available for your private counsel. Such arrangements can be made
direct with their chairman, Mr. William Wilson, 171Y Cathy. Lane,
Phone C1-5-4227.
In order that this communication be of public record I
am going to request that this letter be included in the minutes of
the Village Board meeting of December 5, 1961. If you should desire
any further information we would be pleased to submit same.

Trustee Ekren gave the following report regarding County
County Zoning Hearing:
Zoning
As a memger of the Village Board of Trustees I
attended Cook County Board of Zoning Commissioners at the County
Building on November 29, 1961.
Just one other .representative from the Northwest area
was present, the President of Barrington.
Most of the matters that were discussed pertained to
zoning parcels of land in the far south and southwest areas in
Cook County.
Regarding Dockets #119, 120, 121, 122, 276 and 282 of
which we received written notice, it was $y judgement that there
was nothing to protest because all ~ef the dockets referred to
amendments in the comprehensive Cook County Zoning Ordinanc~ and
did not affect us directly or indirectly.

made for building permit to erect restaurant building at Serafine deposit
Drive and Rand Road, and the builders have been asked for the sidewalk (Bldg.Dept.)
deposit. Letter from them was read aloud as foIlows:
1418 N. Illinois St.
Arlington Heights, Ill.
Gentlemen: .November 24, 1~1
The Theodore H. McNabb Company has recently purchased the
vacant property at 905 East Rand Road (located between the Thom McAn store
and the Sunoco station) with the intent of building a restaurant with
in-car service. We have been advised that before receiving a building
permit, we must post a cash bond to insure the construction of a sidewalk
on the Albert Street side of this property.
December 5, 1961
We believe this requirement to be inequitable due to:
l) There are nc sidewalks on Albert Street on our side
(neither Thom McAn nor Sunoco property having same).
2) No ether cash bonds have been required to our
knowledge, and
3) As commercial property, with parking facilities
facing Albert Street, no apps=ent need for a side-
walk along our side of Albert Street exists.
We would appreciate your consideration of this matter, and
seek to have the bond requirement eliminated.
Very truly.yours,
Theodore H., McNabb Company
E. Allan Kovar, Secretary
This matter will be settled at the administrative level.
