The purpose of the meet- ing was to consider the A. J. DavisCo,trep maintenance contract and a public library referendum. A. J. DAVIS CO. CONTRACT Trustee Minton posed several questions regarding man-hours expended and Village personnel used in conjunction with the A. J. Davis Co. personnel. The Public Works Director ex- plained the operation of his department 'and his tree care program, as well as the work performed by' the outside con- tractor. After consideration discussion, Trustee Floros, seconded ' by Trustee Richardson, moved to award the tree main- tenance contract to A. J. Davis Co. effective May 1, 1975 at a cost not to exceed $35,000,00. Upon roll call: -Ayes: Floros Hendricks Minton Rhea Richardson Motion carried. CONSIDERATION OF PUBLIC LIBRARY REFERENDUM Memorandums had been distributed to the Board from Paul D. Speer & Co. and Chapman & Cutler and the Library Board re- garding the proposed new library and the issuance of bonds and the 'effect of a referendum. The Village Attorney gave an opinion on the legal aspects., After review of the vari" ous reports it was the sense pf.the majority of the Board to proceed with the construction of the new library. Interested citizens, Mrs. Cay]or, Idyl Nipper and Anton Dvylis all expressed their approval of the Board's decision. Mayor Telicher t read the following letter and requested i be made a part cif these minutes: May 22, 1975 "To.- The Pres ' ident and Board of Directors of the Mount Prospect Public Library and the President and Board of Trustees of the Village of Mount Prospect Ladies and Gentlemen: Please consider this an open, public letter and notice to all of you of a unique problem that may develop in conjunction with the proposed new library building in Mount Prospect. For 70 years, my family-owne,d company, of which I am a stock- holder and President, has sold fire prevention equipment on both a retail and wholesale level to thousands of customers throughout the country. As you know, selling to wholesalers means that we have no idea who the end-userof our products w ill be nor do we have any control over this part of our business. Early this week, I was requested to give our current prices' on equipment to a customer who happens to be a Contractor, and who also happens to be Interested in quoting on the construction bid for the proposed new library. At this point I realized that this could develop Into an embarrassing situation and I asked our Village Attorney, Mr. Zimmermann, for guidance. Mr. Zimmermann informed me that under present laws in Illinois it could be considered a conflict of 'Interest if any products originally sold by my company went into the new building. Whether I vote or not on the awarding of bildsor-have no ad- vance knowledge of where the equipment is,going, does not re- ible cloud over the situation. move a possi Please let me inform all of you that I will not cast; a vote concerning the awarding, approval or recommendation of any contractor to -building the new building. Also, I will not knowingly sell my company's products to any source whereby they might wind up in the -new building. However, we sell to hundreds of wholesalers and move thousands of product items each month, therefore it will be impossible for me to give you my guarantee that some of these items will not be involved in the new building. I will guarantee you that if this happens, it will not be with my prior knowledge. I suppose the best way to remove the problem would be to re- move myself from the Library Board. This I will not do. I have served on two separate Village library boards since 196�, -2- 5/27/75 and I feel that my past record denotes my', honesty.... If the above,mentlioned situation does come to pass, Iit "will not be of my doing. If someone wants 'towave the issue of "conflict of' interest" let them be damned.. Please understand my desire to avoid embarrassment assment for any board, its. members, , or my company,, and I sincerely hope that I have your help and under &tandilng in this matter." Regards, JACK D. ANDERSON Sears -Anderson, Inc. 12 W. College Dr. Ill. 60004 Arlington Heights, SPECIAL BOARD MEETING �975 Mayor Telichert calle-d a special board meeting for June 24, to consider the flood insurance program. ADJOURNMENT Trustee Rhea, seconded by Trustee Hendrics, moved the meeting, be adjourned. Time: 9:15 P. M. Unanimous. DONALD W. GOODMAN, Village Clerk Aa� TO : Trustee Edward B. Rhea, Jr. FROM: Village Attorney RE Your memo of May 28 � 1975 regardI ng 501 North Elmhurst Avenue DAITE: May 28, 1975 Some time after the fire which substantially destroyed the house at the above location, the Board of Trustees authorized me to file a demolition suit with the Circuit Court of Cook County, In this type of litigation, municipalities seek the order of the court to allow the municipality involved to raze and demolish the specific building which has been declared unsafe. Immediately following the authorization by the Board of Trustees, I set about obtaining the permanent tax index number and legal description of the above captioned property. While we had reason to believe the sole owner was one Charles Gillison, I feel that in demolition and condemnation cases it is extremely important to serve the proper parties -- in that fail- ure to serve all necessary parties is fatal to the cause of action. I have applied to Chicago Title and Trust Company for a necessary parties policy in the nominal amount of $1,000.00 -- which policy will also guarantee the Village's lien upon the property upon entry of the co-L"Trt order, which lien would be in the amount of the costs for the demolition of the building. For some two to three months, no action on this policy was forthcoming because we had pro- vided an inaccurate address and legal description of the above property. In addition, we were busy contacting lawyers who had become involved with Charles Gillison to determine whether the building would be sold or renovated voluntarily -- in an effort to save the lage some tax dollars. It now appears that our efforts to achieve a voluntary demolition, renovation , or sale are fruitless. Meanwhile, we have finally ordered down a new policy from Chicago Title and Trust Company with an accurate legal description and the true address of the property -- 304 West Memory Lane. Our Complaint is in ready form. When the necessary parties names ided by the title company (some time next week, hopefully) we will finalize the Com - are provi ph-I.int and file the suit. Some may question the reasonableness of seeking a voluntary demolition of the building. Tit. further answer your questions concerning a time frame, the last demolition suit filed by the Village of Mount Prospect took over five years to finalize. Accordingly, I felt 'it prudent to seek other means than the courts to accomplish the ultimate goah To make the intersection of Memory Lane and Elmhurst Road aesthetically pleasing once again through the razing of this unsightly and structurally unsound building. C*hould you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. JJZ/el John J. Zimmermann cc: Mayor and Board of Trustees Village Manager bcc: Director of Building4 Health Dept.
