Farley; Trustees Ralph Arthur, MarkBusse, Timothy Corcoran, Leo Floros, George Van Geem. and Theodore Wattenberg. Also present at the meeting were: Village Manager John Fulton Dixon, Assistant Village Manager Michael Jannis, Police Chief Ronald Pavlock and Finance Director David Jepson. Also present were three persons from the print media, The Minutes of the Committee of the Whole meeting of May 9, 1989 were accepted and filed. MUNA&KOWW"IMIU) Mr. Donald Harmon, 16 North William Street, Mount Prospect, addressed the Committee members regarding his opinion on various items including: 1. That no elected officials of other local governing bodies should be permitted to sit on voluntary Village Boards and Commissions. 2. That all Commission members should be required to strictly adhere to all Village Ordinances and if they don't, they should be subject to removal. 3. That persons requesting Variations before the Zoning Board of Appeals be required to show more true hardship as part of their cases. 4. Mr. Harmon supported the Village's decision to maintain a five foot maximum fence height. Committee members thanked Mr. Harmon for his input. IV. Mayor Gerald Farley indicated that he had asked the Village Manager to place this item on the Agenda for consideration by the full Board. It was Mayor Farley's opinion that the State Liquor Control Commission, who reviews the decisions of local liquor commissioners, was not generally sensitive to the concerns of municipalities with regard to the sale and consumption of alcoholic beverages within their borders. Mayor Farley also felt that by providing for direct Appeal of Local Liquor Commission. Orders to the Circuit Court anunnecessary step in the Appeal process could be avoided. Finally, Mayor Farley felt that it was somewhat ironic and inappropriatethat upon Appeal to the Circuit Court by a municipality of a ruling of the State Liquor Commissioner, the State's. Attorney General serves as the Attorney for the establishment owner. This appears to be a waste of the taxpayers' money in that two units of government are placed in an adversarial position. Mayor Farley explained that under the direct Appeal process, a bar owner would be protected from economic harm because of an automatic stay provision built into the Appeal process as well as also benefitting from one less step in the Appeal process. Village Manager Sohn Fulton Dixon reiterated many outer comments that Mayor Farley made and added that not all decisions of the ,Local Liquor Commission were reviewable by the State Commission. Therefore, the actual number of times an Appeal could be ;made to the State Commissioner were limited in the first place. Trustee Timothy Corcoran inquired whether other local decisions are regularly appealable to a State Commission. Mr. Dixon responded that he was not aware of any other situation in which a decision of a municipality was not directly appealable in the Circuit Court. Trustee Mark Busse inquired as to how many cases per year would be subject to this new Appeal process. Mr. Dixon responded thn� relatively few Local Liquor Commissions are actually appealed to 'the State''t , nmission. Only those most serious violations in which suspension or revocation were involved were likely to be appealed. Trustee George Van, Geem asked for information regarding a summary of cases with outcomes, findings and rationale of the State Liquor Commissioner in over- turning Local. Liquor Commissioner decisions. -2- Trustee Ted Wattenberg indicated that he felt the Amendment was overkill and that he needed more documentation to view the change favorably. He cited only two Mount Prospect cases that he was aware of in which Appeals to the State Liquor Commission were taken. Trustee Ralph Arthur stated he fully supported the Village Attorney's recommendation. He indicated it was obvious that there would be less cost involved if a step in the Appeal process was removed. He also was not concerned that Mount Prospect would be the first community to establish such an Appeal procedure. Trustee Leo Floros added that he was generally favorable of the recommendation but would like to see additional information. There was additional discussion among Committee members regarding the propriety of the State's Attorney General representing a bar owner against the Village in an Appeal to the Circuit Court. The consensus of the Committee was to place this item on the June 6 Village Board Agenda for consideration subject to review of the additional information requested. U., 1'. 1 �OJWAI Village Manager John Fulton Dixon reviewed briefly with Committee members the recent activities surrounding the upgrading of the Northwest Central Dispatch System. Mr. Dixon indicated that the Referendum for the Enhanced 911 System was overwhelmingly passed and that as a result, the member communities needed to move forward on a new facility to house the necessary equipment. Mr. Dixon indicated that the other three member communities - Buffalo Grove, Arlington Heights and Elk Grove Village - had already approved the Lease Agreement. Under the Lease Agreement, the Village would be responsible for approximately 28% of the cost of constructing a new $700,000 facility in Arlington Heights. The Village would also be responsible for a percentage of the rental cost over the course of a 20 -year Lease. Mr. Dixon indicated that an additional ten-year option was built into the Lease Agreement. It was indicated that a present target date of January 1, 1991 had been'se, for completion of the facility and the start-up of the Enhanced 911 System. Mayor Gerald Farley asked whether soil testing had been done on the site to see if it was suitable for building. Mr. Dixon indicated that once all parties had signed on to the Lease Agreement, extensive review of the site would be undertaken before any construction was begun. -3- Trustee Leo Floros inquired as to whether there was a possibility for an expansion of the System to include more communities. NWCDS Executive Director Doug Edmonds indicated that there had been some preliminary talks with neighboring communities who have expressed an interest in joining the System. However, he indicated that nothing was firm at this time. Trustee Timothy Corcoran inquired as to the physical expansion capability of the building. Again, Mr. Edmonds indicated that the current design of the new facility would allow for a doubling of the console space for dispatching and tracking systems. Mr. Edmonds felt that if additional members came on board, the facility, as presently designed, could handle such an expansion. Nonetheless, there was the ability to physically expand the building if that should become necessary. Mr. Edmonds continued by explaining that the costs for furniture and other amenities for the building would be paid for out of a Reserve Fund which the Dispatch System has been funding on a regular basis. He also indicated that those costs that were eligible under the 911 surcharge would be paid for through that mechanism. There was general discussion among Committee members regarding particular aspects of the operation and the new generation of console equipment and computers. The consens7�,. of -.`e Committee was to give approval to enter into the Lease Agreement. A nis i iem will be placed on the June 6 Village Board Agenda. VI- CD -M RQDM SEMM - EUBLIC SAFM ALULDIN!G1 Village Manager John Fulton Dixon gave a brief overview of the current status of the municipal Court Room in the Public Safety Building. He indicated that the Court would be moving into its Rolling Meadows facilities on or about June 1. At that time, the Village would recapture that space for its own, use. Pending the outcome of a staff report regarding future use of the Public Safety Building, Mr. Dixon was recommending that the space be utilized by -and -large for Village -wide training, Additionally, some of the space would be used as interview rooms for victims and some evening counseling.There was also a suggestion that the Zoning Board of Appeals' meetings be moved `frc,in this location to 50 South Emerson Street. Trustees asked that a check be made to see whether there would be a conflict with scheduled senior activities on the evenings when the ZBA would meet. General discussion among Committee members resulted in a consensus that the short-term use of the Court Room follow the use of the recommendation of the Village Manager. -4- E Trustee Timothy Corcoran asked that a Public Safety Facilities Study include a 20 - year timeframe to account for all possible expansions and future needs. WOMENZAVU70) Village Manager reviewed with Committee members a "Spiller Pays" Ordinance that would require any entity which was responsible for a hazardous waste spill within the Village to reimburse the Village for any extraordinary expenses incurred as part of a clean-up or rescue operation. Mr. Dixon indicated that many, other jurisdictions have adopted such Ordinances as a means of recouping the sometime extraordinary costs associated with the clean-up of hazardous waste spills. Mr. Dixon indicated that the intent of the Ordinance was very clear and that it was meant to ensure that the ultimate responsibility for the clean-up remain with the entity which caused the spill. Mr. Dixon indicated that the MABAS communities were in the process of reviewing the adoption of a similar Ordinance. Discussion among Committee members was generally favorable regarding the Ordinance. However, Trustee George Van Geem, asked whether the penalty clause could be reworded so as to be permissive. Trustee Van Geem felt that it was somewhat ironic that a company who cooperated in reimbursing the Village for the cost of cleaning up the spill should then be fined for its activity. Trustee Timothy Corcoran inquired as to whether a $500 fine was substantial enough to serve as a deterrent to offending entities. He felt that it would be more appropriate to have a fine that equalled some percentage of the cost of the clean-up. Village staff was instructed to discuss these potential changes .with the Village Attorney. The item would be placed on the Aine 6 Village Board Agenda for further consideration. Mayor Gerald Farley asked for support from Committee members in forming an Ad Hoc Committee to study smoking restrictions for the Village. Mayor Farley indicated that he was looking at a Committee consisting of approximately 13 persons with a make-up that would be representative of the business community, anti -smokers and pro -smoking advocates. He also felt that the Village's Health Officer should be the staff liaison to the Committee. Finally, Mayor Farley suggested that Trustee Timothy Corcoran sit as the Chair of the Ad Hoc Committee. There was general discussion among Committee members and a favorable consensus was reached. Trustee Van Geem inquired about a specific timeframe. Mayor Farley indicated that he had no set timeframe in mind at this time. -5. Trustee Leo Floros indicated that he was not sure that the Chairman would be neutral in his deliberations and a compromise was reached by the Chairman agreeing not to be a voting member of the Committee. Trustee Arthur reported to Committee members that the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency had recently rejected the Solid Waste Agency of Northern Cook County Permit for the balefill. Trustee Arthur indicated that the IEPA raised 25 issues which needed to be resolved before the Permit could be resubmitted for approval. Of the 25 issues, Trustee Arthur indicated that none were impossible to resolve. The questions which remained were one of timing and cost. However, recognizing that the member communities had little alternative, the SWANCC Executive Board directed staff to proceed with addressing each of the 25 items. Trustee Arthur stated that while this review process was going on, the Agency would not seek any additional funding for the project. Trustee Wattenberg asked that future consideration be given to the purchase of Citizens Utilities Company. Additionally, Trustee Wattenberg asked for an update on Police Union negotiations as well as a Litigation Report. IX.

Fields Village Clerk Standards of Respect The Flag Code, which formalizes and unifies the traditional ways in which we give respect to the flag, also contains specific instructions on how the flag is not to be used. They are: • The flag should never be dipped to any person or thing. It is flown upside down only as a distress signal. • The flag should not be used as a drapery, or for cover- ing a speaker's desk, draping a platform, or for any dec- oration in general. Bunting of blue, white and red stripes is available for these purposes. The blue stripe of the bunting should be on top. • The flag should never be used for any advertising purpose. It should not be embroidered, printed or otherwise im- pressed on such articles as cushions, handkerchiefs, napkins, boxes, or anything intended to be discarded after temporary use. Advertising signs should not be attached to the staff or halyard. ! The flag should not be used as part of a costume or athletic uniform, except that a flag patch may be used on the uniform of military personnel, firemen, police- men and members of patriotic organizations. 0 The flag should never have placed on it, or attached to it, any mark, insignia, letter, word, number, figure, or drawing of any kind. • "fire flag should never be used as a receptacle for receiving, holding, carrying, or delivering anything. x�f* i When the flag is lowered, no part of it should touch the ground or any other object; it should be received by waiting hands and arms. To store the flag it should be folded neatly and ceremoniously. First fold it lengthwise in half, then repeat with the blue field on the outside. Finally, while one person holds it by the blue field, another makes a triangular fold in the opposite end and continues to fold it in triangles until the flag resembles a cocked hat, with only the blue field showing. The flag should be cleaned and mended when necessary. When a flag is so worn it is no longer fit to serve as the symbol of our country, it should be destroyed by burning in a dignified manner. God Bless America "While the storm clouds gather far across the sea, Let us swear allegiance to a land that's free, Let us all be grateful for a land so fair, As we raise our voices in a solemn prayer. God Bless America. Land that I love Stand beside her, and guide her Thru the night with a light from above. From the mountains, to the prairies, To the oceans, white with foam God Bless America My home sweet home."

How to honor it, how to display it. g A [Standard of Honor The flag of the Uniled States of America is a living thing that calls to our spirit, reminding us of the greatness of our America. We cherish and uphold it because it is the standard of honor under which we live. We view the flag with devotion, for it represents our national heritage of noble deeds, splendid accom- plishments, and untold sacrifices which combined to establish the moral character of our national foundation, (),if flag is a symbol that makes our past one with the present and makes the present a prophecy for tomorrow, It signifies a people dedicated to liberty, justice and fr­dona for all. is our companion around the world. It summons confidence on sight. There is a magic in its folds that continually renews the hope that this nation, under God, will long be an example everywhere for all who love freedom with honor. We give homage to the flag because it stands for the courageous, earnest, and unselfish experiences of our people who have given us strength as a nation and pride as citizens, We respect our flag because we have respect for our countrymen, and because our love for country finds its center in our flag. The customs and traditions which surround the display and use of our flag are guides to the means by which we as proud and grateful citizens may demon- strate the ultimate respect for the flag of our nation. In honoring and saluting our flag we demonstrate affection for our nation, fellow citizens and the proud inheritance r are. Pledge of Allegiance `1 pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indi- visible, with liberty and justice for all, , The pledge of allegiance should be rendered by standing at attention, facing the flag, and saluting, Displaying the Flag Indoors 0 � 6 When on display, the flag is accorded the place of honor, always positioned to its own right. Place it to the right of the speaker or staging area or sanctuary. Other flags should be to the left. The flag of the United States of America should be at the center and at the highest point of the group when a number of flags of states, localities, or societies are grouped for display. When one other flag is used with the flag of the I11 ti = d States of America and the staffs are crossed, the it the United States is placed on its own right with its )tal f in front of the other flag, u When displaying the flag against a will, vertically or horizontally, the flag's union (stars) should be at the top, to the Hag's own right, and the observer's left, Displaying the Flag Outdoors When the flag is displayed from a staff projecting from a window, balcony, or a building, the union should be at the peak of the staff unless the flag is at half staff. When it is displayed from the same flagpole with another flag - of a state, community, society or Scout unit - the flag of the United States must always be at the top except that the church pennant may be flown above the flag during church services for Navy personnel when conducted by a Naval chaplain on a ship at sea. When the flag is displayed over a street, it should be filing vertically, with the union to the north or east. If the flag is suspended over a sidewalk, the flag's union should be farthest from the building. When flown with flags of states, communities, or societies on separate flag poles which are of the same height and in a straight line, the flag of the United States is always placed in the position of honor—to its own right. ..The other flags may be smaller but atone may be larger. ..No other flag ever should be placed above it. ..The flag of the United States of AmerIlaa is always the first flag raised and the last to be lowered.t s s When flown with the national banner of other countries, each flag must be displayed from a separate pole of the same height. Each flag should be the same size. They should be raised and lowered simultaneousiv, Fire flag of one nation may not be displayed above that of another nation. s s s The flag should be raised briskly and lowered slowly and ceremoniously. Ordinarily it should be displayed only between sunrise and sunset. It should be iflurni- nated if displayed at night. The flag of the United States of America is saluted as it is hoisted and lowered. The salute is held until the flag is unsnapped from the halyard or through the last note of music, whichever is the longest. Our National Anthem The Star-Spangled Banner: Oh, say, can you see, by the dawn's early light, What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last glean ' gl Whose broad stripes and bright stars, thro' the perdouk: t, O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air, Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there. Oh, say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave? On the shore dimly seen, thro' the mists of the deep, Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes, What is that which the breeze, o'er tfie towering steep, As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses? Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beans, In full glory reflected, now shines can the stream, `Tis the star-spangled banner, oh, lona; may it wave O'er the land of the free and the house of the brave. Oh, thus be it ever when free men shall stand, Between their loved homes and the war's desolation; Blest with vict'ry and peace, may the heav'n-rescued land Praise the Power that has made and preserved us a nation, Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just, And this be our motto: "In Clod is our trust"; And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave. The National Anthem and the Flag When the national anthem is played or sung, citizens should stand at attention and salute at the first noteand hold the salute through the last note. The salute is directed to the flag, it displayed, otherwise to the music.

MINUTES BUSINESS DISTRICT DEVELOPMENT AND REDEVELOPMENT COMMISSION May 17, 1989 The special meeting of the Mount Prospect Business District Development and Redevelopment Commission was held on Wednesday, May 17, 1989. The meeting was called to order at 7:05 P.M. by Chairman Predovich. Members of the Commission present: Earl Johnson, John Eilering, Joseph Janisch, Hal Predovich, Bart Ke1jik. Absent Irvana Wilks. Also present were Janet Hansen, Executive Director Chamber of Commerce, Mark Busse, Village Trustee, T. D. Roche Taegel, Mount Prospect Journal Reporter, and Kenneth Fritz, Economic Development Director. The minutes of Mai cn- 8'v;ere approved by a motion by Joseph Janisch and Earl Johnson. The motion passed unanimously. The minutes of April 26 meeting were approved unanimously on a motion by John Eilering and seconded by Joseph Janisch. Continued review of the development goals and objectives for downtown redevelopment Discussion focused on refinement of thirteen factors or objectives that were developed as a refinement of the earlier goals and objectives dbvb16p6d - February 1988 by BDDRC. Mr. Predovich led the discussion and asked the members of the Commission to review the wording of each objective and to eliminate or condense the objective statement. it was the general consensus of the group that as few words as possible should be used for each objective statement but that an explanatory paragraph regarding the intent behind each objective might be more easily understood by persons reviewing the goals and objectives. Irvana Wilks, not present for the meeting, submitted her observations and comments on each of the thirteen objectives. Her comments formed the basis for further discussion among the members present. (2) The subject of a visual focal paint in the downtown area was discussed at some length. Mr. Predovich referred to the 1976 Plan that called for possible open plaza in the center of the Governmental -Office area east of Main Street, centered on the �ntersecttion of Busse Avenue and Emerson Street. He indicated that this was the quandrant that was suggested in the 1976 Plan as being the focal point a public gathering place (plaza). Mr. Fritz pointed out that the intersection of Busse -Emerson need not be closed to through traffic, but that one of the corners of the intersection could instead be utilized as a plaza that could provide the necessary area for such events as art fairs and other special village sponsored events. Mr. Predovich indicated that it would be wise to have one more meeting prior to passing the goals and objectives on to the Village Board and others. A meeting was set for May 31 St. AQMRNM The meeting was adjourned at 8:33 P.M. on a motion by Joseph Janisch, seconded by Earl Johnson. spe Ily .mitt:• Kenneth H. Fritz Economic • 0 M
