CALL TO ORDER - ROLL CALL 11. ACCEPTANCE OF MINUTES OF MAY 11, 1993 III. CITIZENS TO BE HEARD At the April 27, 1993 Committee of the Whole meeting, the Village Board began review and discussion of proposed Parental Responsibility and Keg Tagging Ordinances. These draft Ordinances were offered by the TAP Mount Prospect group as a result of their deliberations. On April 27, the Board expressed a desire to give the community at large an opportunity to comment on ,the proposed Ordinances. Tuesday evening's meeting will provide a public forum for further comment and review. For the past year and one-half, a group of concerned citizens has been meeting to address one of the Village's most painful problems, the tragic loss of young lives as a result of underage drinking and driving. The group is called TAP Mount Prospect, which stands for Teens and Parents for a Better Mount Prospect (TAP - MP). The ad hoc group was originally formed when Mayor Farley called together representatives from concerned families and community organizations to determine if there should be any community response to the problem of underage drinking and driving. Concerned parents and representatives from our local School Districts, many of our churches, the Library and the Village have all volunteered their time to the group. But some of the most valuable insights into the problem were provided by a group of young adults representing local high schools and junior high schools. TAP -MP seeks to promote youth as responsible citizens in Mount Prospect through the cooperative efforts of youth, families and concerned community organizations such as churches, schools, park districts, library and the Village. The name `TAP Mount Prospect" was chosen to emphasize tapping the resources of the Village to work together for a better community, one that provides a safe and secure environment for all citizens. In the fall of 1992, Trustee Clowes assumed chairmanship of the group. V V1. During the course of the last few months, TAP -MP made several important decisions about community response to youth issues, parenting issues and law enforcement issues (these were the three subcommittees that TAP -MP broke its work into). This was done after hearing'from represontatives of OMNI, CRUSH and Fighting Back about their programs and activities. The group wanted to make sure they were not duplicating programs and activities that were already in place; they also. wanted to take advantages of existing programs and resources. Some of the projects and proposals that TAP -Mount Prospect is currently working on include: Youth Producing a combined youth calendar for the summer called "YO -Mount Prospect!" Emphasis will be on unscheduled, affordable activities. "YO -Mount Prospect!" stands for Youth Organizations of Mount Prospect. Parenting Educating parents, teens and pre -teens on the laws that affect them in Mount Prospect. Wherever possible, take advantage of existing parenling programs and other activities run by CRUSH, OMNI and Fighting Back. Law Enforcement Drafting a Parental Accountability law for Mount Prospect that makes parents responsible, through fines, for any underage drinking that occurs in their homes whether they have prior knowledge of it or not. The TAP -Mount Prospect Law Enforcement Sub -Committee has produced a draft of a Parental Accountability Ord ' inance which Trustee Clowes and TAP -Mount Prospect members would like to present to the V ' illago Board for their review and comments. This Ordinance was drafted with the assistance of Village Attorney Everette Hill after several meetings of the Law Enforcement Sub -Committee including a meeting with Judge James Geocaris, Chief Judge for the Third Municipal District. - - The work of the Law I Keg Tagging Ordinani draft Ordinances have by the Board in order Your packet of informati the salient points of the which the Village Board language are also alta attendance to contribut MANAGER'S REPORT amoral-M—MOUTAMM -cementSub-Commiftee also included the drafting of a line with one suggested by Trustee Irvana Wilks.

ROLL CALL, The Meeting was called to order at, 7:35 by Mayor Gerald L. Farley. Trustees present were George Clowes, Richard Hendricks, Michaele Skowron and Irvana Wilks. Trustees Timothy Corcoran and Paul Hoefert arrived later while the meeting was in progress. Also present were Village Manager Michael Janonis, Ms. Madelyn Brown and Tod Curtis representing the Downtown Merchants Association, Mr. Albert Boldt of 617 South School Street, Fire Chief Edward M. Cavello, Finance Director David Jepson and Environmental Health Coordinator Robert Roels. II. MINUTES OF APRIL 27, 1993 The minutes of April 27th, were accepted as corrected and filed. III. CITIZENS TO BE HEARD None Mayor Farley stated that at this point he wanted to deviate from the regular order of the Agenda and move ahead to Item V and defer discussion on Item 1V Downtown Celebration until Trustees Corcoran and Hoefert arrived. IN �Trl I . T, Mr. Janonis stated that increasing restrictions on the Village by the County are making it more difficult to lend traps to residents for the purpose of catching small wild animals. Even though this is a minor service provided by the Village, it is a popular one. Staff is seeking input and direction from the Village Board prior to making any substantive changes in the provision of this service. I There was extensive discussion regarding County regulations. The Village has a permit to release animals at the Deer Grove Forest Preserve in Palatine. There are limits on the type and number of animals that can lawfully be released. Recently the Village was notified that raccoons could no longer be released at Deer Grove due to over population. It was asked if discharge at other forest preserve areas such as Busse Woods Is allowed. It appears that it is not as the animals need to be discharged at least ten miles away or there is an eighty percent return rate. We have a permit that allows us to release 30 woodchucks, 75 opossums, 50 raccoons and 150 squirrels - if we exceed any one of those categories we would need to get permission to release, or release may be denied. Normally we would catch more animals than required in the ,permit but, since we had to file the permit, our participation has dropped. In a normal year, residents would catch and relocate 200-300 animals. It was asked how we know where citizens discharge animals. We assume they do as instructed, we can only rely on the citizens to fallow instructions. A majority of requests for animal traps includes inside the home and annoyance animals outdoors. Trustee Hoefert stated his concern is that if we strap the trapping program, citizens will not be able to rid themselves of the animals in their homes. He realizes that there is a growing problem with over population of animals in the forest preserves. The concern of the forest preserve is understood. It was asked what animalcontrol officers or private trappers do with the animals they catch and it appears' that they recruit- sites or pay property owners to relocate animals to their sites. Trustee Wilks asked if the animals that were trapped and released in 1992 were animals listed on the , permit or if other animals were caught. The response indicated that approximately 180 animals were caught. The species included squirrels, opossums, raccoons and woodchucks. Trustee Wilks asked if the Village could hire and train personnel to handle this on -staff as she is aware of two communities who currently have on -staff people for this purpose. A second option would be to contract out to a private company and if the cost of this was available. It was stated that the cost by a private company would be $55 to $85` per animal. Trustee Clowes asked about potential problems associated with lending traps to homeowners. Violating County release procedures could place the Village in violation of the permit and traps might become unavailable to lend. Also if scratched or bitten, a rabies vaccine will be necessary, and problems could arise from a child's curiosity of the trap and the wild animal. The Village, who lends the trap, is liable for violations caused by users. It was brought to attention that our permit is coming due in June of this year and one restriction is that raccoons and skunks will not be allowed to be released. Mr. Janonis stated that education on this issue is invaluable. He suggested that the Village operate under the present policy, no strapping of raccoons and skunks and a review will be made when the permit comes due in June. Trustee Willes asked if the expenses could be tracked for this program and states that it is also a health concern and one of home and property damage. 2 Trustee Hoefert is in favor of lending the traps for home evacuation and not just pest removal of annoyance animals on your property. This should be the responsibility of the property owner. Mr. Jannis asked Staff if a homeowner catches an animal in their home, is it permissible to release animal on their own property and the reply was, yes. Trustee Clowes stated that he is reluctant to add a staff member to handle this program that it would be helpful if the Village could reduce the cost by means of a contract with a private removal service that could be recommended to residents. More discussion on this in mid -summer. Homeowners can do several things to try to discourage animals from entering their homes and staying on their property by: not feeding them, capping their chimneys, planting trees away from their homes, keeping their garbage secured, screening under decks and filling in concrete stoops with loose dirt. It was suggested that an article regarding this be put in the next Village Newsletter. This ended the discussion. At this point, Mayor Farley stated he would like to revert back to item IV on the Agenda and begin the discussion on the Downtown Celebration. IV. DOWNTOWN CELEBRATION Mayor Farley opened the discussion by stating the Downtown Merchants Association has requested the Village be a sponsor for the Downtown Celebration scheduled for June 5th and 6th. Madelyn Brown representing Ye Olde Town Inn and the Downtown Merchants Association addressed the Board explaining the makeup of the association and their purpose. She stated that there were no dues or fees involved and the only basic requirement is that the business be in close proximity to the downtown area. She also described plans for the proposed Celebration. Trustee Hoefert inquired how the Celebration sponsorship was going. Ms. Brown responded that twenty sponsors have been identified. Mayor Farley asked if a profit is not realized who would pay the bills. Mr. Tod Curtis also of Ye Olde Town Inn answered that local businesses would make private contributions to cover losses. Mayor Farley explained that when the Chamber of ,Commerce ran Hometown Days there was the possibility of a profit. He asked how the Merchants Association planned to handle profits. Mr. Curtis responded that he certainly hoped there would be profits and they would be held within the association for future events. 3 Additional discussion continued involving the logistics of selling food and soft drinks and whether transactions would be handled with cash or tickets. Mr. Curtis explained that vendors will pay a fee to sell food items and they in turn will handle all sales in cash. Following a question by Mayor Farley, Mr. Curtis explained that the association was in the process of filing fuer tax exempt not-for-profit status. The discussion continued with .Mayor Farley relating the historical background of Hometown Days when the Village sponsored rides for children and other activities of that type. He stated that the request for sponsorship being considered is different and the organization is edso different so therefore it would be appropriate to reopen discussion on the matter. Trustee Corcoran asked about the makeup of the association stating that although this appeared to be a worthy cause, he was concerned that this may set a precedent and the Board could be approached in the future and asked to be a sponsor for a number of other events. Trustee Corcoran stated' his concern that proximity does not make membership and it does not make an organization. Discussion continued on the responsibility for up -front fixed expenses. Trustee Corcoran also stated as he continued to question, that the association had no list of officers, no members and collects no dues and appeared to be loosely organized. He also questioned the timing of the event asking if the event Nvas being rushed. Mr. Curtis related that the timing of the event is correlated to the entertainment and their availability. Mr. Curtis also attempted to reassure the Board that while his primary concern was to benefit the downtown area, the scope of the event was broader based and included other businesses away from the immediate downtown area. Mr. Jannis provided an overview of past involvement of the Village in Hometown Days stating that while the Village has provided financial support, it has been sporadic at best. Sometimes paying for children's rides in the amount of $2800 and other years not offering financial support. Trustee Hoefert explained that he thought this event would be a good thing for the Village and stated he would support a one-time contribution to the event. Trustee Skowron asked why there was no contribution made by the Village to Hometown Days in 1992. Mayor Farley replied that it was the opinion of the Village Board at that time not to continue to contribute to celebrations and that: it was the Board's hope that this event would become self-sustaining and self-supporting. r Trustee Skowron concluded that the history of such events indicate that a profit can be expected and be reapplied to the event the following year. Trustee SkQwron stated she would support a one-time expenditure of funds for this event. Trustee Corcoran agreed with the one-time contribution if a financial statement would be provided following the event and the profits from the event be held over and become a community investment. , Mayor Farley asked if there was a consensus of the Board for Trustee Corcoran's recommendation. Trustee Wilks outlined the costs of in-kind services that the Village would be providing. Trustee Wilks indicated her support for the event. Trustee Hendricks stated his support for the event. Trustee Clowes added that he thought a number of other good things come out of this event other than promoting the downtown area and therefore supported the contribution. Trustee Skowron also indicated support. Mayor Farley concluded the discussion on the subject by stating the Village. agrees to serve as a sponsor for this year and it would be reviewed if this request were to be made again. VI. REAL ESTATE TRANSFER TAX ORDINANCE Mr. Janonis stated that the current ordinance allows for a partial rebate of the transfer tax when a homeowner sells a home in Mount Prospect and buys a second home in Mount Prospect. The incentive is "designed to promote a second purchase in the Village. The current rebate language in the ordinance is somewhat vague when it comes to the treatment of 'contract' sales. The change will remove any vagueness in the ordinance. Trustee Wilks questioned whether any special steps needed to be taken to apply the ordinance to previous contract sales. - Mr. Janonis stated Staff would investigate but felt there would be no problems. Trustee Wilks asked if others are affected and have they been considered. Mr. Jepson mentions that a review of the records indicated only one sale met the contract sale criteria. Mr. Jepson continued by stating that when the deed is not recorded, we do not know about the sale. The suggested change in the ordinance no longer requires that tax stamps be purchased for both properties. Now the ordinance will only 5 require that the first house be replaced within one year to qualify, for rebate. Trustee Skowron ques stated that a correction Trustee Hoefert indicated It was asked of Mr. Albert how he was aware that he, the advice of counsel." At this point Mr. Jeps( pertaining to the possibil numerous other resident. situations but that he was Mayor Farley asked if Administration for the VII.

The information also included - and some of the options available. Trustee Clowes stated that in addition to a discussion of costs and alternatives he would also like to explore the feasibility of increasing the frequency of the newsletter from four (4),, to six (6) times a year. Lengthy discussion followed including comments from Mr. Robert T. Jenkins who has been the newsletter editor for the last thirteen (13) years and Village Clerk Carol A. Fields. During the discussion, items such as different type face, page size, paper type and format were reviewed. Mr. Jan onis summarized six (6) issues logistically. and stay with the same fi went to the Des Plaines possibly a cost savings.

Trustee Clowes expressed his concern that if we have information we want our residents to read, the newsletter must be attractive enough for them to open and read. VIII. 'MANAGER'S REPORT The Village Manager had nothing to report. IX. ANY OTHER BUSINESS Mr. Janonis brought up the issue of the letter style for the exterior signs for the Fire and Police Building. Trustee Hoefert presented the options of Mount Prospect to be M and P in caps and the rest of the words in lower case and the words Police and Fire Departments all in caps. Trustee Hoefert stated that he supported all words in upper case and that it was more readable. Mayor Farley voiced his disagreement and stated his preference. All other Trustees voiced their support for the wording to be all in caps. Mr. Janonis finalized the discussion by stating that we are on target for substantial completion on or about June 7th. Trustee Hoefert inquired as to the status of scheduling tours of the Wall Street Building. Mr. Janonis responded that tours would be handled on an individual basis. Trustee Wilks suggested that the Citizens Committee be invited to the re- burial of the Time Capsule. Trustee Wilks also asked the Village Manager to update residents on the work being done on the water tower. Mr. Janonis explained that work has begun and the rods protruding from the tank will hold the shroud that will contain particles produced by sand blasting. It appears that the Village is looking at mid-July for completion. Trustee Clowes voiced concerns raised on the parking issue with the Broadacre proposal and inquired as to the status of the project. Mr. Janonis stated that Staff would put together a packet of information for the Board and it would include an updated time -line on when we Will bring this issue back to the Board level. Trustee Clowes also brought up the fact that he has read material that states 7 that the Bartlett bail -fill may not be permitted and what possible responses that might bring to the solid waste agency's actions with regard to the construction of two new transfer stations. Trustee Corcoran stated there was a regular meeting scheduled for the next day and he was sure that issue would be on the Agenda. vlqvw�vl�3�, k �kj� The meeting was adjourned at 9:53. Respectfully submitted, Edward M. Cavello Fire Chief' EMC /sp 8 VillAgeof Mount Prospect Mount Prospect, Illinois --Q INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM TO: MAYOR GERALD L. FARLEY AND VILLAGE TRUSTEES FROM: GEORGE A. CLOWES DATE: APRIL 23, 1993 SUBJECT: TAP MOUNT PROSPECT (TEENS AND PARENTS FOR A BETTER MOUNT PROSPECT) The present Board of Trustees will be unable to take action on any of the recommendations coming from the TAP Mount Prospect group. However, since these recommendations were developed on the present Board's watch, I thought it would be appropriate to bring these recommendations to the present Board before two of its current members retired from office. A year and a half ago, following the tragic loss of three young lives in an underage drinking and driving accident, Mayor *Skip" Farley called together representatives from concerned families and community organizations to determine if there should be any community response to the problem of underage drinking and driving, I attended the first meeting not because I had any particular solutions to offer but simply because I was concerned, too. The ad hoc group met several times during 1992, and Mayor Farley appointed me chairman of the group after the meeting in November, 1992. The group has met on a monthly basis since then. The group recently named itself TAP Mount Prospect, which stands for Teens and Parents for a Better Mount Prospect (TAP -MP). TAP -MP seeks to promote youth as responsible citizens in Mount Prospect through the cooperative efforts of youth, families, and concerned community organizations such as churches, schools, park districts, library, and Village. The name "TAP Mount Prospect" was chosen to emphasize tapping the resources of the village to work together for a better community, one that provides a safe and secure environment for all citizens. Concerned parents, young adults, and representatives from our local school districts, our park districts, many of our churches, the Library, and the Village have all volunteered their time to the group. Some of the most valuable insights into the problem were provided by a group of young adults representing local High Schools and Junior High Schools; since being brought into the group, these young people have been among the most regular attenders of our meetings. r, During the course of thelast few months, TAP -MP made several important decisions about community response to youth issues, parenting issues, and law enforcement issues (these were the three subcommittees that TAP -MP broke its work into). This was done after hearing from representatives of OMNI, CRUSH, and Fighting Back about their programs and activities. The group wanted to make sure they weren't duplicating programs and activities that were already in place; they also wanted to take advantage of existing programs and resources. TAP MOUNT PROSPECT - 2 - 23 April 1993 Here are some of the projects and proposals that TAP Mount Prospect is currently working on: YOUTH The youth activities subcommittee., spearheaded by (Patti Walpole, is producing a combined youth calendar for the summer called `YO -Mount Prospect!' (Youth Organization of Mount Prospect). Emphasis will be on unscheduled, affordable activities. The summer calendar will be distributed in the June Village Newsletter and also will be made available through schools, park districts, the library, and the library's electronic bulletin board. (see attachment for draft calendar) PARENTING The focus of the parenting subcommittee is educating parents, teens, and pre -teens on the laws that affect them in Mount Prospect. Wherever possible, they will take advantage of existing parenting programs and other activities run by CRUSH, OMNI, and Fighting Back. Currently, the subcommittee is developing seminar topics for the coming year and hopes to tape some of them for transmission on cable TV. The work of this subcommittee is coordinated by Karen Uhren, Russ Haak, and Mary Lynn Bower. LAW ENFORCEMENT The law enforcement subcommittee has developed a parental accountability ordinance for Mount Prospect that makes parents subject to a fine if any underage drinking occurs in their homes whether they have prior knowledge of it or not. In addition, the proposed ordinance provides for suspension of driving privileges in Mount Prospect for alcohol-related driving offenses. I would like to commend to the Board the following TAP -MP committee members and others who have generously contributed their time, their expertise, their insights, and their ideas: Jack Ashtenfelter, Jim Barnd, Mary Lynn Bower, Rhea Byer -Ettinger, Sister Elaine Campbell, Debbie Carlson, George C'lowes, Bev Cusick, Cori Dalton, Ann DeBartolo, Dr. Bud Des Carpentrie Mayor "Skip" Farley, Emma Farwick, James Fay, Jess Frank, Dr. Ronald Fuchs, David Gaub, Marilyn Genther, Judge James Geocaris, Kelly Gier, Anita Grabowski, Russ Haak, Melba Hansen, Becky Highberger, Attorney Buzz Hill, Rev.

CLOWES DATE: APRIL 23, 1993 SUBJECT: PARENTAL ACCOUNTABILITY ORDINANCE Attached is a proposed parental accountability ordinance developed by TAP Mount Prospect (Teens and Parents for a Better Mount Prospect) to address the problem of underage drinking and underage drinking and driving. The purpose of the meeting on April 27th is to determine if this ordinance is one that the Board is likely to support, subject to additional input from citizens and businesses. If the Board does support the proposed ordinance, or a modified version, then I would like to send it to other communities in the northwest suburbs to request their feedback on whether they, too, would be likely to support a similar ordinance. This information would be then available to our Board when the ordinance is debated prior to passage in May and early June. Mr Everette Hill drafted the ordinance and volunteered several hours of his time to answer questions and explain legal issues. The TAP Mount Prospect group would like to thank Mr Hill for his efforts on behalf of youth, safety, and security in our Village. rli„Pr,•O.. r The impetus to form TAP Mount Prospect came from the alcohol-related deaths of three young students in Mount Prospect a year and a half ago. A total of 7 District 214 students died in alcohol-related accidents during the 1991-92 school year. Despite this, comments made by students in a recent survey at Prospect High School were that "The fatal accidents had little prevention effect; even students closely related to incidents are still using." Among other comments were that it's "Hard to say NO since almost all parties have alcohol," and "Kids still think it won't happen to them, even when coming from a funeral." Despite having strict drunk -driving laws in Mount Prospect, underage drinkers who drive know that the penalties they face from the courts are relatively minor --- so much so that the penalties are treated as a "joke" by many underage drinkers. TAP Mount Prospect was concerned about this and believed that the lack of meaningful penalties encouraged a disrespect for the law and certainly did not discourage underage drinking. STRATEGY: As guidelines for developing new legislation to address underage drinking and underage drinking and driving, the TAP -MP committee decided on the following approach: - Any new laws should address the problem, not just a small part of it, - Any new laws should address the problem, not just make us feel we were "doing something"; - Any new laws would be for iggl1 application rather than working for new laws from the state; - Any new laws should permit the Village itself to impose penalties since the courts in general have tended to be much too lenient with offenders; Parental Accountability Ordinance - 2 - April 23, 1993 - In general, penalties should be mandatory --- again because the courts have failed to dispense tough justice to offenders, - The underage drinker -driver should face a penalty that is meaningful - e.g., loss of license; - Parents who permit underage drinking in their homes should face mandatory fines, - Any new laws should be enforceable, - Any new laws should be acceptable to neighboring suburbs so that they could approve similar legislation; the aim was to develop a model ordinance that, would have wide applicability. T-XPLANATION OF THE PRQMED ORDINA14CE: The following is a summary of the proposed parental accountability ordinance, with two sections highlighted that are likely to promote most discussion: - Provides for a mandatory fine of $1000 for delivering alcohol to an underage person, - Except in the performance of a bona fide religious service; - Except by the parent only, in the home only, and only under the direct supervision of the parent [protection provided by State law]; however, the parent is still vicariously liable (see below); - Provides for a mandatory fine of $1000 for those adults who permit underage drinking in their homes or on their business premises, whether they are present or not; Establishes vicarious liability for anyone who delivers alcohol to underage persons; this creates civil liability for those delivering alcohol to underage persons who subsequently cause injury to others through impairment by alcohol, The person who initially delivers the alcohol to the underage person is vicariously liable, - The person who Is In control of the premises, or fails to maintain control of the premises, Is vicariously liable; The person who permits an alcohol -impaired underage person to operate a motor vehicle is vicariously liable; - Provides for a mandatory fine of $500 and a 6 -month loss of driving privileges in Mount Prospect for any underage person using false identification to obtainalcohol; Provides for impoundment of the vehicle if an underage person is found operating a motor vehicle with any kind of alcohol in it; recovery of the vehicle would cost $250 plus any towing or storage charges; - If the underage person is subsequently found guilty of driving with open alcohol or possession of alcohol by a minor then driving privileges in Mount Prospect would be suspended for 6 months; - If the underage person is found guilty of driving while his or her driving privileges are suspended, then there is a mandatory fine of $500; - Where mandatory fines are not specified, fines of from $100 to $500 are applicable; - The Court may provide for fines to be worked off by community service at the rate of one hour of community service for every $10 of mandatory fine.

FARLEY AND VILLAGE TRUSTEES FROM: GEORGE A. CLOWES DATE: APRIL 23, 1993 SUBJECT: KEG TAGGING ORDINANCE Attached is a proposed keg tagging ordinance developed from recent recommendations by Trustee Wilks to address the problem of underage drinking. The TAP Mount Prospect group made no changes to Trustee Wilk's proposals and Mr Everette Hill drafted the ordinance from these proposals, which are based on a Wilmette ordinance. TAP Mount Prospect had already reviewed the keg tagging issue at a meeting earlier this year and had not pursued it for a number of reasons: - Although Wilmette may have a keg problem, Mount Prospect's problem is not keg -related; - Keg tagging addresses only a small part of the problem; the container of choice is a 6 -pack; - Keg tagging doesn't address the problem, which is how to get parents to take responsibility; - It places a significant burden on the retailer, - The committee felt its time would be better spent working for a parental accountability law. Since we did not have supporting data available, the TAP Mount Prospect committee is forwarding the keg tagging ordinance to the Village Board without a recommendation. However, I have asked Chief Pavlock to provide information at next Tuesday's meeting on the number of stores selling kegs in Mount Prospect and the percentage of alcohol-related incidents last year that involved kegs and underage drinkers. This should provide additional data to guide the Board's decision. EXPLANATION OF THE PRQPOSEQ ORDINAN!QE The following is a summary of the proposed keg tagging ordinance: - Requires that all kegs used in Mount Prospect should have an identification tag affixed; - Requires retailers to keep a logbook of keg tag numbers and keg purchasers; - Provides for a $40-70 deposit for the keg, - Deposit is not refundable if the keg is not returned with the tag still affixed; - Deposit is not refundable if the keg is not returned within 60 days; - Provides for the retailer to inform the Police Department when deposits are not refunded; - Requires retailers to provide copies of the logbook to the Liquor Commissioner once a year; - Requires that any kegs used in Mount Prospect, regardless of their origin, must have tags affixed; - Penalties fall under the general penalty provisions of our liquor laws.

ILTIMIWEV-14 - Members of the Sign Review Board present: Elizabeth Luxem, Richard Rogers, Philip Stephenson, John McDermott and Chairperson Adelaide Thulin. Mr. Hal Predovich arrived at 7:50 p.m. Members absent were Warren Kostak. Also present was David M. Clements, Director of Planning. Chairman Thuhn began the meeting by thanking Ms. Luxem for her service to the Sign Review Board and indicated that Ms. Luxem will be taking a position on the Zoning Board of Appeals. She then asked for approval of the minutes from the last regular meeting. APPROVAL OF MINUTES: Mr. McDermott moved that the minutes of May 3, 1993 be approved with no comments or corrections. The motion was seconded by Mr. Stephenson, and the motion to approve passed unanimously, 5 ayes, 0 nays. NEW BUSINESS: Sign -5-93. Mount RmapW Plaza Ltd. Partnershig. Corner ofEast Central and Rapd RQa4s, Chairman Thulin introduced the only agenda item of the evening as being a request by Mount Prospect Plaza Ltd. Partnership to seek modification of height area and number of tenant panels for two freestanding signs at the Mount Prospect Plaza Shopping Center. Pat Ryan, of Kieffer Sign Company, introduced himself to the Sign Review Board, and stated that he was representing Mount Prospect Plaza with this request. Mr. Ryan presented a photo display of the existing freestanding sips at the shopping center and stated that the request was to increase the Rand Road sip from 15 feet in height to 20 feet, and to increase the Central Road sip from 20 feet to 30 feet. Mr. Ryan indicated that the Central Road sip is not sufficiently visible from Rand Road and that the additional height would provide better visibility for the sip and help identify the Central Road entrance to Mount Prospect Plaza. Mr. Rogers asked if this is a request to change the two signs that were approved by the Sip Review Board in 1991. Mr. Ryan stated that this was the same two signs and he gave a background of the current sip installations. He explained difficulties with placing the sips due to easements, and stated that this requestfor increased height should solve the problems Sign Review Board Minutes Page 2 that Kieffer had experienced in placing the existing signs. Mr. Rogers summarized the request from 1991 and stated that he believed that the 20 foot sip was to be on Rand Road and the 15 foot sign height was to be on Central. He believed that the current request was considerably different from what the Sign Review Board had originally approved.. ' Ms. Luxem commented that the sign installations had been reversed from the prior approval by the Sign Review Board and she indicated a concern with 'Western Development taking such action. The, Sip Review Board generally discussed the sip height approval from 1991 and Mr. Clements obtained the Sign Review Board file for SIGN -15-91, Mount Prospect Plaza, and confirmed that the Sign Review Board had approved a 20 foot sign on Rand Road and a 15 foot sign on Central Road. Mr. Clements stated that this agreed with Mr. Rogers' recollection of the case. Mr. Predovich asked Mr. Ryan for his justification for the. higher sign and Mr. Ryan stated that he believed that a 28 foot sign height would be sufficient on Central Road rather than 30 feet, and pointed to a photo display that showed a 28 foot sample sign height. He stated that trees and the Dominick's Food Store helped block visibility of this sign, and that the sip is lost to eastbound traffic by clutter at the intersection of Rand and Central. Ms. Luxem also noted that Building E at the Plaza blocks the sign.
