To: Harold Appleby
Re: Water Fund Surplus Cash Date: May 6, 1960
Surplus Cash
Water Fund For the year ended 4-B0-60 we have surplus cash according
to the various ordinances in the amount of $46,231.01. One half
of this amount has to be set aside for bond redemption ($23,115.51)
and the other half may be used forwhatever purpose the trustees so
desire.
I would recommend that we call for redemption at Aus~t l,
1960 the remaining $1~,000 bonds on the 1944 Water Revenue Issue
and $5,000 bonds of the 195B series. This would eliminate the
1944 series entirely and have $57,000 bonds remaining on the 195B
series. To do this we would have to transfer $884.49 from the
surplus funds~ having surplus funds in the amount of $22,2~1.01 to
be set aside by the trustees.

Appleby
Village Manager/read petition from homeowners on the
Paving and west half of North Kenilworth Avenue from Central Road to Th~ver
sidewalks Court asking why their builder, Di Mucci, had not been obliged to
Kenilworth Ave. install streets and sidewalks; if it is not the builder's responsi-
bility, whose is it; if the homeowners are responsbile, how much
would it cost each one.
The Board explained that inasmuch as this was an old subdivision,
the builder was not necessarily obliged to install streets and
sidewalks; they may be installed by special assessment or by co-
operative actio~ of the property owners; the Street Committee will
be glad to meet with representatives of this block to work oat a
feasible plax for such improvement. Mr. Cadigan's rough estimate
for 27' 1-11 surfacing amounted to $20,500.
Village Manager Appleby stated that in the recent clean- __
spring up campaign, the amount of debris was more 5han d~bble that picked
olean-up up during the previous clean-up; 1229 yards.
President Lams reported that he, Village Manager Appleby,
Weller Trustee Ekren and Trustee Schlaver met ~ith the attorney for
Creek Weller Creek Drainage District and Board of Trustees of Metro-
politan Sanitary District to discuss responsibility for Weller Creek.
The Sanitary District indicated that the only feasible long term
solution was for them to take over the care of Weller Creek.
