RE: COFFEE WITH COUNCIL 10/13/90
The monthly "Coffee With Council" was held on October 13, 1990. Trustee
Arthur chaired the meeting. Also attending were Trustees Busse and
Corcoran, Village Manager John Fulton Dixon, Assistant Village Manager
John Burg, and Director of Inspection Services, Chuck Bencic.
Residents attending the meeting and items discussed were:
1) Emily Novak - 1809 E. Euclid Ave.
Ms. Novak has heard the County is going to do improvement
to Euclid Ave. between Wolf & River Rds. She objects to
any improvement being done especially if it includes widening
the road.
Ms. Novak also objected to the new real estate sales tax
the Village adopted. She thought the tax was on the seller.
Trustee Corcoran explained to her the tax was on the buyer
not the seller.
Trustee Arthur suggested we put another article in the Village
Newsletter about the tax.

2) Gussi Dietrich - 1303 Thayer
Mrs. Dietrich had questions and comments .on the yard waste
program. She felt that all the towns in the area should
have similar pick-up programs. She did not like the fact
that Arlington Heights residents only paid for the bags
while Mount Prospect residents had to pay the cost of the
pick-up as part of the price of the bag. Trustee Corcoran
tried to explain to Mrs. Dietrich why there were different
methods of accessing charges for the yard waste programs.
Mrs. Dietrich also complained that BFI had four trucks pass
her house and none of them picked up some branches she had
in front. Apparently they were not tied with string and
the truck driver told her he could lose his job if he picked
up bundles of brush if they were not tied properly. Trustee
Corcoran asked John Burg to talk with BFI about our requirements
for containers and type of material used to tie brush.
3) Dave Schein - 512 Na-Wa-Ta
Mr. Schein stopped in to see if' there was any discussion
on the flood studies. He was informed of the meeting on
the Fairview Highland area and he pointed out some of the
original drainage ways in that area to the trustees.
Coffee With Council adjourned at approximately 11:30 A.M.
