VI. COMPLIANCE ORDINANCE
Chief Pavlock introduced the recommended Ordinance proposing
that the Village implement an administrative fine system
for minor traffic violations as they relate to defective
"
equipment on automobiles. The intent ofsuch an Ordinance'
is to lessen the burden on the Court system, reduce over-
time and minimize disruptions to citizens for minor
violations. The matter has been reviewed with the local
Court system and has their approval as well as the approval
of the Village attorney, Such an Ordinance is currently
in operation in Hanover Park although they also use it for
various forms of minor speeding offenses which the Chief
was not recommending.

was instructed place this item on t1, i'genda for
May 15 for its first reading.
VII. PAPKING TICKET COI LECTTON PROGBAM
Chief Pavlock reviewed a proposal from Tele -Collection,
Inc. The use of a collection service such as this allows
the Police Department the ability to obtainpayment for a
single parking "%liolation that is outstanding. Currently,
the Village has o't,,itstanding some $132,000 in such violations.
The Tele-Collecvion system would send a letter 'to the
violator and the'ri follow it up with a pre-recorded telephone
call urging the violator to pay the parking ticket.
Tele -Collection wo,old then retain 33 1/3% of the gross
revenue derived from this system in any given period.
Chief Pavlock pointed out that the Village of Palatine
has already implemented the system and has found it to be
successful.
After some general questions, the administration was directed
to place this item on the next Village Board Agenda with
the caveat that it be implemented for a six-month period
and then be reviewed at that time for further extensions.
The Village Manager reported that the Water Agency is now
compiling final financing data in anticipation of going to
the market for the final financing of Agency expenses.
Nearly all the contracts have been bid and we are getting
a better handle on the total construction estimates.
Trustee Van Geem inquired as to the time schedule for the
construction and a general discussion ensued. The Village
Manager pointed out that the Agency still believes it can
meet the Spring, 1985 deadline, however, if the water
storage reservoirs at O'Hare are not roofed by the winter
of 1984, then that will delay the opening of the system.
Additionally, any major disruption and/or delay now will
push us beyond the time schedule. Trustee Floros pointed
out that in the recent contracts for the water storage
reservoirs, a substantial amount of over -time had been
authorized and this was an indication, in his opinion, that
the construction schedule had actually slipped.
IX., ANY OTHER BUSINESS

do a rate analysis between Citizens Utilities Company of
Illinois and the Village of Mount Prospect comparing typical
water and sewer rates.
