EPSTEIN NOTARY PUBLIC It was moved by Trustee Willer and seconded by Trustee Casterline that the petitions just read be accepted and that the matter be referred to the Board of Appeals for publication and that the Board of Appeals be directed to hold a public hearing at the earliest opportunity. The President put the question and the Clerk called the roll, with the following response: Ayes: All; Nays: None; where- upon the President declared the motion carried. It was moved by Trustee Willer and seconded by Trustee Schlaver that Mr. Jacob B. Courshon be informed that the Village of Mount Prospect is interested in annexing certain territory discussed at 'a meeting held January 25, 1958; with the provision that it must meet all ordinance requirements of the Village of Mount Prospect. The President put the question and the vote was taken by acclamation, whereupon the President declared the motion carried. Village Manager Appleby reported that a date for a public hearing has been set pertaining to the proposed increase in rates by the Northwestern Railway. That this hearing is to be held on March 12, at 10 A.M. at 1'0 N. La Salle. Street, 19th floor. Village Manager Appleby stated that the Street Depart- ment has been hampered in their efforts to remove snow by stones and other foreign objects placed along the edges of the streets in lieu of curbs. Village Manager Appleby read the following communication: TO THE PRESIDENT AND l\1EMBERS 0 F THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES, MOUNT PROSPECT, ILLINOIS It has been reported to most of you verbally how difficult it has become to hire personnel willing to work on Saturday morning. A half a day off during the week doesn't solve this problem. Neither does it provide the best service during the week because too ma'J'Y times the person off is the one able to provide the answer necessary. It is believed that a full staff all working on the same 40 hour schedule provides the best service to the public and to the administration. To that end, it is recommended that the Village offices be open as follows starting March 3, 1958: January 28, 1958 Monday - Friday 8:30 A.M. - 5 P.M. with 1 hour out for lunch 5 days @ 7-1/2 Hrs. 4~.. i"'~ t'1#' fJ >'-'1:\;';~ V,U;J 37-1/2 Hrs. Monday Evening 7:00 to 9::)0 P.M. 2-1/2 Hrs. 40 Hrs. This schedule has been discussed with the present off'ice personnel and is far more acceptable than the present schedule. It is believed that Monday night, being an "off" night affords a better opportuni ty f'or resi den ts to transact business at the Village hall than Friday evening, the shopping night. It will be desirable to have the offices open Saturday morning until March 1 of this year for the accommodation of persons purchasing Village vehicle licenses. However, a plan to purchase licenses by mail next year should entirely eliminate the need of Saturda.y hours. """".. Respectfully submitted, S/ H. G. Appleby Village Mariager ""'y'''''l ~ " ,..,....., \'",-) ~f .-rt C':l ,.:~<':'~","", After some discussion f'rom the audience pertaining to the advisability of' establishing Village e~ening hours on Friday e~ening instead of' Monday evening, a show of hands by the audience indicated a preference of citizens present for Monday evening as opposed to Frida.y evening. It was moved by Trustee Willer and seconded by Trustee Broad that the recommendation of the Village Manager pertaining to office hours be put into effect beginning March 3, 1958. A citizen suggested that the change of' hours be published in the Mount Prospect Herald. 1he President put the question and the Clerk called the roll, with the following response: Ayes: All; Nays: None, whereupon the President declared the motion carried. A citizen complained that there had been no plowing of snow in Prospect Manor. She complained that corners had not been sanded and recommended sanding of corners where stop signs are placed. There being no further business to come before the Board, a motion was made by Trustee Broad and seconded by Trustee Casterline that the meeting be adjourned.
