There being no citizens present who wished to make a
presentation before the Committee of the Whole, the
Committee moved on to the next 'Item of business,
IVw CABLE COVERAGE OF BOARD MEETINGS AND CABLE SYSTEM UPDATE
Cable Coordinator Karen Giet reviewed with Committee members
her report assessing the cost and issues involved with
televising Village Board meetings. Among the major issues
addressed in Ms. Giet's report were site location and
necessary renovation, set construction costs, set-up and
breakdown times, cost for both personnel and equipment and a
survey of cable television subscribers gauging the desire to
have such meetings broadcast,
Ms. - Giet reported that with the help of two local video
equipment suppliers who turnished the services of a trained
engineer, she was able to establish that the Seniors' Center
was t 'he most suitable location for the establishment ot a
permanent broadcast facility. Both renovation costs and
disruption of on-going senior activities would be minimal.
Both the set-up and the tear -down of the set for such
broadcasts could be accomplished by available Public Works
personnel. Additionally, the set would be constructedso
that it would blend into the present contiguration and use
patterns at the Seniors' Center.

Director of Public Works Herbert Weeks reviewed with
Committee members the current condition of the sewerage
system. Mr. Weeks stated that there were numerous problems
with the system including collapsed tiles, tiles which were
constantly under water, running sand and other various
problems, Mr. Weeks also pointed out that this system was
currently not 'in compliance with the Metropolitan Sanitary
District inflow and 'infiltration standar"ds set for sanitary
sewer systems. It was Mr. Weeks' estimate that it would
cost approximately $270,000 to bring the system into
compliance with MSD requirements.
Mr. Burghard indicated that the Village did not currently
have funds to cover the total cost of such repairs and that
0
in any case that the Village,'s prior position 'in matters
like this was that the benefit applied to the users and they
should bear the cost. However, practically speaking, the
establishment of another Special Service District to fund
the necessary repairs would add an additional �] .10 to the
tax rate ot Prospect Meadows residents. The total tax rate
with the two Special Service Districts would be prohibi-
tiovely expensive to these residents,
