CALL TO ORDER. ROLL CALL Mayor INana K. Wilks Trustee Timothy Corcoran Trustee Richard Lohrstorfer Trustee Paul Hoefert Trustee Michaele Skowron Trustee John Korn Trustee Michael Zadel II. ACCEPTANCE OF MINUTES OF APRIL 25, 2006 ACCEPTANCE OF MINUTES OF MAY 9,2006 III. CITIZENS TO BE HEARD IV. MAPLE STREET PARKING LOT - PARKING ACCOMMODATION REQUEST Ramesh Ganhdi, President of the Mount Prospect Town Home Association, has requested the Village consider establishing a pro-rated system for Maple Street Lot parking tags so the residents and related parties of his town home association could purchase parking privileges for only the months necessary. Residents may only park in the Maple Street Lot between April and November. Mr. Ganhdi has requested the option to purchase parking tags for less than the normal period of consecutive months. For example, if a student were home from school for the summer, they could purchase a parking tag for only the months they would be home compared to the cost of the tag for the entire period when they only need a few months. Any change to the existing agreement will require Board action. V. PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT CODE MODIFICATIONS/FEE IN LIEU OF STORMWATER DETENTION Based on increasing feedback from developers of smaller residential building projects (teardowns and small resubdivisions), staff would like to explore with the Village Board the concept of providing relief from certain storm water detention requirements by allowing for payment of a "fee in lieu of' providing the required storage on site. The "fee" would then be used to address storm water detention issues on a larger scale basis. Given the steadily increasing number of teardowns and small residential resubdivision projects, it is likely the fee will generate significant revenue that will allow the Village to undertake larger scale projects. The attached memorandum and back-up material will provide the basis for initial review. Appropriate staff will be on hand to answer questions and facilitate discussion. NOTE: ANY INDIVIDUAL WHO WOULD LIKE TO ATTEND THIS MEETING BUT BECAUSE OF A DISABILITY NEEDS SOME ACCOMMODATION TO PARTICIPATE, SHOULD CONTACT THE VILLAGE MANAGER'S OFFICE A T 50 SOUTH EMERSON, MOUNT PROSPECT, ILLINOIS 60056, 847/392-6000, EXTENSION 5327, TDD #847/392-6064. VI. REFUSE COLLECTION PROGRAM/ADDITIONAL WHEELED CART POLICY OPTIONS In May of this year, the Village transitioned from a modified volume-based refuse collection program to an unlimited volume wheeled toter program. The new solid waste program is designed around the concept of a fully automated system and success hinges on residents using the wheeled toters. In a few circumstances, the maximum issue of a 95-gallon refuse and a 55-gallon recycling cart may not offer enough capacity on a weekly basis. Residents have inquired about the availability of a second wheeled cart for refuse since the first informational flyers were mailed. The Village's standard response to these inquires has been, "all refuse and recycling must be contained in the cart and any refuse or recycling outside of the cart will not be collected. If the cart is not meeting your needs, please call us in June to discuss options available to you." The Public Works Department has developed several options to address the issue of the availability and use of multiple carts for refuse and recycling service. Appropriate staff will be on hand to answer questions and facilitate discussion. VII. VILLAGE MANAGER'S REPORT VIII. ANY OTHER BUSINESS IX.
