On pages 103 through 105, we budget those expenses
associated with cowunity and civic, services. in
preparing-this yearls budget, I 'included appropriations
for tho-se groups who, received mun,iclipal grants according
to prior Board.policy.We have invited representat i'ves
from these groups - to attend the Gammittee of the, Whole
meeting to review.their budgets. We have also included
an invitation to the Library who, although not a direct
part of the municipal budget, must be included in the.
final adoption in order to establish the framework for, Jot/
their Tax Levy.

The Historical Society is again asking for a $1,000 grant
and that has been included in the budget. The Veterans
of Foreign Wars has asked for a $500 grant, for their
Memorial Day Parade and that has been budgeted. The
Chamber of Commerce has requested a $500 grant for the
Farm ers' Market and that has been budgeted. Shelter, Inc.,
has requested $7,600 and the Village Manager has -budgeted
$6,100 which is the budgeted amount from last fiscal scal year.
The Manager has explained to Shelter that our Revenue
Sharing Funds have been decreased this year and that no
further funds would be recommended by the Village
Manager beyond last year's appropriation. The Library
has requested $25,000 from the Village's Revenue Sharing
account and the Manager has recommended that no grant
be made to the Library again because the Village S
Revenue Sharing allocation has been reduced by $75,000
from last fiscal year. The Imperial Drum and Bugle Corps
requested a non-specific grant and we have recommended
no appropriation.
Pursuant to prior Village Board directions, we will
appropriate an ' d amend the budget draft to include $2,500
for the 4th of July Parade sponsored by the Jaycees. This
will appear on page 104 of the budget. A new appropriation
on that page is for the VI'llage'F'e'stival of $2,500.
Christmas decorations, page 104, are budgeted essentially
at the same level as last fiscal year.

The Village has been approached by the State of Illinois -
Department of Transportation with their plans to improve
Wolf Road from Central to Euclid. This 'Includes certain
bridge repairs, curb and gutter, storm drainage and
traffic signal upgrading. The State plan hinges upon
the Village's acceptance of jurisdictional transfer of
that portion of Wolf Road improved. The City of Des Plaines
has *Indicated its willingness to accept jurisdictional
transfer within its corporate limits where Wolf Road is to
be improved. Jurisdictional transfer means to the
Village of Mount Prospect that we will assume the future
responsibility of maintaining and repairing the roadway.
The Illinois Department of Transportation has taken a
position on jurisdictional transfer in those areas where
State reads are primarily for the service,of local or
sub-regional traffic patterns. The State is willing to
bring theroad up to current standards at their expense
and then have the municipality assume future maintenance
costs.

Shelter, Inc., through its unique system of volunteer foster homes and
a group home for adolescent boys, the only emergency facility for boys
in the area, is the primary resource for emergency housing for children
and youth from birth to age 17 in the northwest suburbs. Shelter is

to assure the availability of these emergency housing services for
children, often innocent victims of abuse and neglect, 24 hours a day,

a foster home to 40 days.
Shelter social workers help refer
families to counseling and therapy
programs to mend the problems which
caused rifts and the need for short term
foster care.
The 'agency has a special need for
families in the Buffalo Grove and
Wheeling area to provide temp6rary foster
care because Shelter does not have any
volunteer families in that area.
"Tbere is an urgency to finding good
homes in Buffalo Grove and Wheeling
because we service children in those.
communities and ideally we like to place
children in foster homes within their
community. We like children to continue
going to their own school and not feel
they're being taken far from home," said
Nancy Lewis, community director for
Shelter.
"That was a very important factor in
,first starting Shelter. It used to be that

Since the agency's inception in 1975,
temporary homes at times in their lives
when they were desperately needed.
The concept of Shelter is the brainchild
of ArlingtonHeights Deputy Police Chief
Paul Buckhelz. As a police lieutenant in
charge of the juvenile division, he saw
firsthand the child victims of abuse, incest
and neglect.
It seemed unfair to him to further
in a police station for hours until an agency
could find some place to take the child,
most often far away from the child's
community and network of school and
friends.

Shelter has about 13 volunteer families
on call ready to accept a child in their
home. Lewis said Shelter's goal is to have
20 to 25 fa. ilies.
Some aft volunteer families have
been with Shelter since the beginning in
1975.
Mary and Jim Koblas opened their
attractive home in Arlington Height's to
homeless youngsters about seven years
ago.
Mary's warm smile and gentle way!4
have embraced 35 or more children she
estimates have stayed with them through
the years.
"It's hard to remember all the names
and all the stories, but each child left an
impression on all of us," she said.
The Koblases have two teenage sons and
an 11-year-o1d daughter of their own.
"Having Shelter children in our home has
been a good experience for the kids: Jim
and I are proud of our kids; they share
their house, toys and parents with Achild
who really needs the care and attention,"
said Mary.
Children of all ages, from newborns to
teens, have been welcomed into the Koblas

"It's nice to sit down and hold a baby

ones ask for so little and give so much
back," Mary said.
"Sometimes it hurts to give them back
and you get mad at the system for aflowing
abuses and shuffling kids around. But then
you remember you're just here to share
your home and love with a child for a few
weeks at a time when he and his family
really need it."

Shelter accepts single adults and

A PROGRAM to encourage local
organizations to furnish a room in Jen.
nings House as a philanthropic project
was announced last week at an open
house reception.
Jennings House, located on Civic
Drive in Schaumburg, is being rennol'
vated for use by Shelter Inc. to house
-local gitls who are in need of a
temporary shelter during a home crisis
situation.
The reception was held to begin tick-
et it sales for a benefit dance to be held
May 1 at the Schaumburg Corporate
Center, Higgins and Meacham Roads.
Schaumburg Youth Officer James
Kuzel, who has been instrumental in
the development of a local crisis shel.
ter for teen girls, announced the plan
to encourage groups to furnish a room
in the six -bedroom house so that funds
raised from the benefit dance could be
used exclusively to staff the home.
SHELTER NEEDS to raise $125,000
as seed money in order to open its
doors. Once the home is in operation,
fees would be paid by the individual
families on a sliding fee basis, with
funding also provided by the Township
United Way, township revenue sharing
funds and proceeds from The Precious
Gift Thrift Shop at 664 S. Roselle Road,
Schaumburg.
Kuzel said the need for a girls shel•
ter home was identified about 3 %
years ago, and through the efforts of
the International Year of the Child and
the subsequent Jennings House
committees, the awesome project was
developed to its present. near -opening
state.
He said he hopes other a*encies,
such as the various village Jaycees or
Kiwanis Clubs, will adopt a room in the
house to furnish so that all the funds
raised from the dance could be used
for staff. "This agency serves a 600,000
population. There is no other facility in
the area that serves this need other
than Mundelein, These girls need to
stay in the community, They are the
,kind of kids living, next "door and in the
none*house,
AOL,
"IT SEEMS like we deal with a lot we
more girls coming to the office than
before—girls with problems of abuse
and neglect who need a safe,
temporary shelter where they can be
counseled so that they may eventually
go back to their families. We'd like to
make this a northwest area project,"
he said.
Schaumburg Village President Herb
Aigner said the Shelter Jennings House
project was very important to the vil-
lage because it served t specific need
that ,wasn't currently being met.
"One thing that former mayor Bob
Atcher said that impressed me tremen.,
dously was that Schaumburg is for
everyone, We don't exclude anyone
here. And if you take a look around
town, you'll see housing and services
for everyone. We want desperately to
get in Shelter for girls in our area.
Tickets for the dance are $20 a cou
pie and organizations are encouraged
to purchase whole tabl9s (five tickets)

Dear Mayor Krause:
The Board of Directors of the Mount Prospect Public `Library
requests Revenue Sharing Funds from the Village of Mount
Prospect in the amount of $25,000.00; these funds to be
used to purchase computer equipp-ent.
In the* next fiscal year it will be necessary for the
Library to upgrade that computer equipment which supports
the Library's data base and circulation system. The
requested Revenue Sharing Funds would make this a much
more affordable project.
Your serious consideration of this request is appreciated.

dHAT IT COST TO PUT THE IMPERIALS ON THE F
For the 1982 marching season the average cost per Imperial corps
member was ,$609.00* For the 1983 marching season the projected
corps budget is even higher,, although considerably less than most
other corps. For the 1982 marching season the cost for instruc-
tors alone amounted to $200.00 for each member. ,
A drum and bugle corps is a bargain for the corm, unity. It is
possible that some people do not realize what the costs are for
instruction, transportations instruments and uniforms. It is
hard to imagine for anyone who has, for example, been acquainted
with school music programs, where instrument rental alone apew
proximates $20.00 monthly. As a real. cost comparison, most drum
corps spend from $1,00,000.00 to $350,000-00 annually*
Obviously, the corps earns money in the sun mer in competitions
and from marching in parades. However, most of this money must
be used to pay for transportation costs. So, the rest of the
money has to be earned throughout the year via various efforts.
The Imperials have only one financial support sponsor.
The Corps conducts an annual Christmas bazar., tag days,, paper
drive, candy sales, Cherry Tree fund-raiser, fashion show, etc.
Thank goodness for these; for if it weren't for these regular
fund raising events, there would be no Imperials. But, with
all the efforts, the Corps is in a very financially tilght.situ-
ation.

INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM ell,
TO Village Manager
FROM Director Public Works
low
DATE March 2, 1983
SUBJECT Jurisdictional Transfer - Wolf Road
On March 1, 1983, our Village Engineer, Chuck Bencic, and I attended a
meeting with Illinois Department of Transportation officials Les Swieca
and Edward Kramarz. The subject of the meeting was to discuss improvement
and subsequent jurisdictional transfer of Wolf Road between Central Road
and Euclid Avenue. Both IDOT officials are programmers who would be
coordinating all phases of the prct. The following highlights were
discussed at the meeting:
The State appears to be ad ant on the issue of Juris-
dictional transfer if they improve the roadway. Their
interpretation of Jurisdictional transfer is covered
under Chapter 21 of Road & Bridges regulations (copy
attached).
A letter of intent is required from the Village before the
State will begin planning for the project. It is my under-
standing that this letter is not legally binding; it
merely says the Village would be agreeable to the concept.
Once all of the plans are drawn for the project and the
public hearings are held, then the Village would be required
to sign a binding agreement approximately six months before
bid le'tting. It was projected that the whole process could
take four to five years.
The public hearings and notices will. deal with Citizen
objections if any to the project, Division of Water-
ways study relative to two streams, environmental
impact, jurisdictional acquisition, etc.
Preliminary plans call for four 12 ft. wide lanes for
a total roadway width of 48 feet. If the existing roadway
is proven adequate after testing, they would incorporate
that into the design. Otherwise everything will be
removed and a complete new 4 -lane concrete road would
be constructed. The design life of new roadway would
be for 20 years. Curb and gutter would be installed,
but there would be no center barrier median strip.
Re: Wolf Road
A new storm sewer system is still tinder study. Their
preliminary response was that ditches or swales would
be cut alongside the curbing for drainage. When they
were assured that little if any water from our sub-
divisions drain onto their right -of -way and that the
existing drainage facilities are in poor condition
and notconducive to sound maintenance practices, they
agreed to re-evaluate their current position.
Several years ago the intersection of Wolf' and Euclid
was widened and improved. The improvement extended
approximately 200 ft. south of Fucidon if Road.
Under a verbal.. agreement worked out, the jurisdictional
transfer would include this former improvement, but
only the roadway surface and only to the centerline
of Euclid Avenue. They would further replace all
broken curbing in this arca. and bring up to approved
st I andards and defective pavement. The big thing we
were able to gain here was the State will agree to
keep the maintenance responsibility of the bridge
spanning McDonald Creek. No improvements are planned
beyond the Euclid Avenue intersection.
Preliminary plans are being considered for widening
Fee han.ville drainage ditch and widening or replacing
the bridge over same. (Visivil opinion is that the
entire bridge will have to bereplaced.)
As
if Road is currently very dark, the State will
agree to, let us install lighting at intersections if
we request them. They agreed to let us pay for the
lighting system out of MFT funds even tbough it won't
meet the criteria that was forced onto us on
Northwest Highway. ,
The intersection of Central and Wolf will be upgraded
as part of a seplarate contract which should be
completed far ahead of the proposed if Road project.
At all three current signalized intersections on the
if Road project the State would continue to pay
all or part of traffic signal maintenance as the
bisecting highways will still be under their
jurisdiction.
On all upgrading of traffic signals the Village would
have to bear 100�% of the cost to install opticom,
sensors.
III
41
R9,—Wolf Road
On the jurisdictional transfer of Wolf Road we would
be given the full right of way on both sides of the
highway. The State would retain title to the land.
With the jurisdictional transfer of the roadway and
right-of-way, all future developers would have to
come to us for permits on street entrances, etc.
There is currently one major tract of vacant land on
the east side of Wolf Road adjacent to Des Plaines
and also the old Simonsen Nursery property north of
Kensington.
Opus Corp. (formerly Rauenhorst) has proposed an exit
onto Wolf Road approximately 100 ft. south of the
existing "haul" road. It is tentatively projected
by Opus that FeFeha.vi lle Drive would It at that
point. Initial discussions with the State indicated
that future traffic projections will not suffice to
warrant a signalized intersection at this time.
Actual traffic movements must be made to justify
traffic signals. Further in the case of Opus the
State will not pay for the intersection which would
benefit their project. They -would include it in their
design if so requested by the Village with Opus
paying all costs.
With jurisdictional transfer of the roadway, the
Village would be able to establish their own speed
limits.
Roadway improvements would include turning lanes at
all major intersections.
The State will, not bear the costs of installing
sidewalks along one or both sides of the roadway.
They indicated that some Federal funds might be
available for that.
The Village would have the opportunity to review
the improvement plans prior to the bid. Without
our approval, the project would not be let.
A four lane highway such as this would give our
Village emergency vehicles a better'grid system
for ease of movement and may also appease the
residents of "New Town" by giving them a major
north/south route.
MME
MMMM
At the conclusion of the meeting reference was made that other communities,
namely Wheeling, were anxious to get the estimated ".5 million dollars
th•is project would cost for improvements to their roadway system. State
officials are willing to come out in the evening and meet with the Village
Board if necessary. I have asked that they give us to April 1, 1983, to
respond to them as a result of this meeting.
The meeting as a whole was very cordial with some give and take from both
sides on the issues. I would be inclined to believe that if the current
level of cooperation were to continue, we could come out with a good
roadway while minimizing our expense.
