iPresidentthe report be made a part of the ~.~nutes, Following is President Teichert's
report to the Board.
Report
This being the first regular meeting of the new Village Board, I would take
this opportunity to welcome the new Board men~ers. I am genuinely pleased to be
a part of this Board and I am sure that you feel the same.
We face many hours of hard work together - hours away from our fawdlies, our
friends, our hobbies - hours of wrestling with never-ending problems and, at
times, never-ending frustration; and yet I know of no experience as rewarding
as, ~eing a direct participant in the business called "self-government".
We all know that the problems of our conm~nity require the concentrated attention
and the collective efforts of the Board, the lay commissions, and the village
employees, In this there can be no reservations, for we have a mutual dedication
to a common goal ~.~A~ the good of Mt. Prospect.
I realize that as individuals we may disagree as to what is geod or not good for
our village .... and we may disagree as to the steps we should follow to achieve
what is good .... but honest disa~ement is healthy for us .... it is, in fact,
a necessity if we are to amke real progress. Of course, how well we progress
in solving community problems will be determined to a great extant by where we
direct our efforts. It is in this area of direction that I am most interested
toni~ato In this regard, I must be mindful not only of my own platform but also
the platform of the newly elected trustees . ... and, of course, positions estab-
lished by the old Board. With due consideration of allsuch factors, I respectfully
submit to 'this Board, particular areas which I believe merit special attention,
The foremost problem and one that requires our immediate attention is filling the
position of Village M~nager. I cannot over-emphasize the need for a fully quali-
fied administrative head of government. Proper educational background with proven
experience is a necessity, and we jmust orient our thinking to provide adequate
compensation as well as suitable Working conditions for the right man. This area
is so vital to all of us that it demands the complete cooperation of each of us.
Looking to the future, we should plan now to provide for an Assistant Village
Manager in the following year's budget .... the increasing work-load and the
guarantee of administrative continuity requires such an arrangement. This is not
a novel concept for Mt. Prospect, but merely reinstitution of a~previously estab-
lished posi~iono
~s a me~ns for .assisting our Acting Manager, and ourselves, at the present time,
I will propose an ordinance change so as to provide for weekly Board meetings,
except for the months of July, August and December, which would remain at two for
Msy 6, 1969
ach of those months. This increase in meetings will avoid the need for
special meetings, will per~it a~Journment of meetings by 10:30 P. M., and
allow the Board to relieve the Acting Manager of some matters which are
not definitely ~d~dnistrative or legislative. Also, it should perr~dt
mediate ~liscussion and prompt action by the Board on r~any matters without
recourse to Com~ttee recommendation. This should not be construed as a
denouncement of cor~ttee operation but rather an attempt to expedite and
dispose of simple and straig~ht-forward items, freeing committee time for
complex problems which require detailed study. As we all know, committees
are not provided by statute .... they are strictly o~r own creation. Whether
they are burdensome and ineffectual or useful and efficient depends on how
we use them. It is n~y belief that we should not channel everything through
com~ttees, for this leads to tm_reasonable delay in handling routine
~atters. It is my intention to handle more things at our Board meetings
and be selective in what is directed through committees. President's
Report
me most serious conm~nity problem in ter~s of individual financial loss, contd.
personal inconverdence, mud potential health hazard is flooding. ~ wa~er
resource management program for the area is an absolute necessity mud must be
achieved in the shortest time possible. For this purpose, I will propose an
increase int he membership of the Drainage & Clean Streams Com~ssion with a
request that they accelerate their efforts by meeting twice a month. The
proposal is in accord with the projected work outlined by the Co~dssion ....
hopefully, it v~ill produce a useable flood control program within the year.
Obviously, such concentrated effort bY this Cor~ssion will have to be accom-
pained by the full cooperation of the Village Board. I am sure the serioUSness
of the problem vmn?ants our assurance that all village facilities will be
available as needed. Also, and in addition to fulfilling our present
financial con~-z~itments to this program in the form of studies and planing,
we ~nst be prepared to appropriate sufficient funds in the following year to
implement the progA~am locally. Our first interest should be to adopt every
and all flood control measures availab~le on a village level. We will,
simultaneously, seek more positive cooperation from our neig~hboring.com-
munities and continue to seek increased sewer capacity.
C~r present shared=cost traffic study should include, by expansion of its scope
or by independent committee effort, an analysis of multiple bridges over Weller
Creek, the feasibility of pedestrian operpasses and vehicle underpasses, and a
specific proposal for downto~m traffic flow. T~ffic control must include in-
creased off-street parking facilities and this will require discussion and
participation with the downtown merchants. Eventually, we must be involved with
long-range plans for revamping and perhaps restructuring the entire downtown
area.
Meanwhile, and of immediate concern, I would hope that this Bosmd will entertain
discussions with School District 57 regarding the disposition of the Central
School property. I am aware that this may be, somewhat controversial proposi-
tion, but I would urge the Board not to close out the possibilities of this pro-
posal without frill consideration of the future needs of the village and the
library. The facilities of the library are already used to capacity, and the
village facilities are rapidly approaching their useful limits - Central School
is ideally situated for an administrative building and the present playground
would offer adequate off-street parking facilities. There can be little harm.
in investigating the Fatter, but we would be remiss in our obligations to the
cormmmuity if we did not explore the exciting potentials of such an acquisition.
The proposed budget for the upcoming Fiscal uear is the work product of the
previous Village Board and it deserves the commendation of all citizens for
its over-all upgrading of village employees' salaries and fringe benefits.
~. 'Prospect clearly will maintain and attract the best people available for
gove~-~ental service. Iu this regard, I have been ccatinually concerned that
our staffing in some areas has not been adequate, and I would believe that
we should undertake studies in this matter during the coming year, The basis
for determining whether staffing is adequate or whether village services are
sufficient carmot be merely that everything is going all right. There are
definitive studies and analyses that can be pursued to help us in ascertaining
our needs and our ability to satisfy them. These should be undertaken before
we have a crisis.
However, even if personnel expansion appears warranted, it cannot be accomplished
May 6, 1969
at the expense of Tailing to maintain adequate salary ranges for our present
employees. I mention this because of the increasing possibility that our present
revenue sources maY be Jeopardized~:by the various tax revisions now being con-
sidered by the State Legislature. Reduction of sales tax and repeal of the per-
sonal property tax could force us ~nto an increased real estate tax levy and we
should take positive steps now to broaden our tax base. In this respect, I be-
contd, lieve that industrial development in the southernmost part of our village is most
?resident~necessary, as is increased business facilities in our developed business districts,
Report including-further 'expansion of Randhurst. Also, the development of Old Orchard
and the Kenroy properties can no longer be denied on an emotional basis .... we
must view these properties in terms of tax benefit to our community. We should
move away from the theory that the village and the property owners are antagonists
and that one must win while the other loses. Most surely, we must seek a realistic
compromise for our mutual benefit, or we shall end up as equal losers. I have no
specific solution at hand, but I have long felt that we were closer to an under-
standing than any of us actually realized.
We should resolve these major developments as soon as possible, and this will
require a direct appraisal of the "hig~a-rise" concept. In my opinion, we can no
loner afford the prosaic viewpoint that "high-rise" is inherently bad and must
be opposed regardless of the costs involved. For whateVer the term "high-rise"
may mean to each citizen of Mt. Prospect, the concept must be examdned on an ink
dividual basis to determine whether a specific proposal is beneficial or detri-
mental to the cor~m~ity;
So that these statements are not misconstrued, ~ay I again make reference to the
two properties involved .... Old Orchard to the North and Kenroy to the South.
Both properties are in litigation and may or may not be developed within the
village and ~uder control .... how they are developed will be important to
the schools and park districts, as well as the village .... they can be tax
benefits or tax liabilities depending on what their development offers to the com-
m~ity. I am not suggesting any specific result .... only that we brin~ ail
the principals together and review the various proposals.
Within the next few months, I will request that this Board meet with the Plan
Con,mission and the Board of Appeals to discuss these specific cases ~th the
property owners. We must be satisfied individually concerning the collective
action which perm,[ts these matters to remain unresolved.
I am also hopeful that in the upcoming summer months we can meet as a Board with
other local goverr~nental bodies to discuss mutual problems. There can be little
doubt in anyone's mind that we are knowledgable in governmental operations and
are quite capable of defending the interests of our village .... we ~ust also prove
that we are amenable to cooperative effort to promote the interests of our village.
Our co~mu~nity is quite complex and much of what effects us ia not solely within our
control. Iu such affairs it is not unreasonable to recognize a mutuality of exist-
ence and an equality of power.
Apart from meetings of a general nature with various bodies, I will seek an immedi-
ate meeting between the Village Board and the Park District to discuss specifically
the proposed acquisition and improvement of the property at Lonnquist and Busse
I will request the attendance of members of the Plan Co~ssion and the Drainage &
Clean Screams Co~ission. As we all know, this property involves an i~proved reten-
tion basin and cannot be undertaken by the Park District without the cooperation and
consent of this Board. It will have a profound effect on the reSidents of Mount
Shire and Colonial Heigjats .... I wo~Id hope that residents of those areas will be
in attendance. I feel that there may be some misunderstanding concerning this pro-
ject and a joint meeting will be the best means for appraisal of the benefits which
are involved.
Many of us, while quite knowledgable about ~fc. Prospect in its physical aspects are
not fully aware of Mt. Prospect as regards its socialogical structure. Specifically,
we have been oriented to youth programs that we have failed to recognize that we
have also grown older. Census figures indicate that approximately 10% of
population is over 60 years Of age .... this means that mere than 3,000 of our
residents are identifiable within the term "senior citizens". I have in ~he past
two years become aware of some of the problems that face our senior citizens, and 1
in the past few months I have become aware of the efforts of our senior citizens to
handle these problems on their own. ~ile I have been delighted with t~eir en-
thusiasm in shifting for themselves, I am concerned with the ~p between what they
are doing ~ud what they could do~ My knowledge in this area is too superficial to
peZ~mI~ me to propose any specific progr~s but i~ is sufficient to alert me that
there is a com~ity need. Accordingly, I will, in the near future, propose the
formation of an advisory committee to ascertain the problems and needs of our senior
citizens with recommendations as how and to what extent the village cmn and should
· provide assistance. May 6, 1969
t the other end of the spectrum is a problem which I find difficult to des-
cribe, but which we all recognize as something we ~m~st treat with genuine
concern. I will call it "uouth involvement". It requires recognition that
our youths are alarge and vital segment of our conmunity .... that they are
responsive and responsible .... that direct conmmunication is their desire
and their right. The accident of age does not diminish their standing as
a citizen, and their inability to vote is less disturbing to me than those
who can vote but fail to.exercise the privilege. President's
The so-called "ccrmmunication gap" between youths and adults has been a han~p°rt
catch-phrase to expalin the failure of adult dictated procedures. Our local
schools have shown us time and a~ain that constructive youth involvement is
predicated on a lot of youths with some adults .... not a lot of' adults with
some youths. On this basis, I intend to propose, in due course, the creation
of a Fou$_h council as an independent advisory body to the Village Board.
It will not be a part of theYouth Commission nor will it conflict with the
You~t~ Commission. The mode of operation and the intended goals of these
two bodies will be quite different, although as with all village operations
there may be areas which require intercommunication between the two groups
for mutual advantage.
Our youth are not merely assets for the future .... they are also present
assets of the community. Their moods, their opinions, their actions are
essential factors in the life of the village .... they are, of course, the
prime reason for most of us being in Mount Prospect. I am hopeful that we
can give them a portion of the recognition that we continually expect them
to give to us.
Lastly, I wish to cGm~nt ont he working relationship of the Board itself.
Each of us as an elected representative of the people is beholden to no one
except our own conscience. If we have trying times and periods of strain,
we will also have times of unanimity and satisfaction in jobs well done,
Through it all, I am sure we will respect each other and honor individual
rights as members of this Board. This will require a certain amount of
give and take. ! am aware of my prerogatives and powers as Mayor, and I
am equally a~m_~e of your prerogatives and powers as Trustees. How we
exercise our respective rights will determine to a great extent the well-
being of our conmunity. I give you my assurance publicly that I will
no action, make no appointment, nor cast any vote that is not premised on
What I believe is best for our village. I will work with you to maintain the
heritage of Mount Prospect .... to build on the tradition established by its
pioneers .... to provide sensitive and responsive goverr~ent for all villags
citizens .... to provide a lasting foundation of which future generations
of Mt. Prospect citiznes can be proud.
CO~N~'I'I'E[5 CHAIP~ REPORTS
BUILDING
Trustee Soderman read a report of a committee meeting held April 2, 1969 at
which he and Trustee Lewis, Rober~ Moore and Peter Retten were in attendance.
Under consideration was the height of fences. It was the vote (2-0) of the
Buildir~ Co~.ittee not to change the present ordinance. However, under dis-
cussion, the Board felt there should be more c~ification, in particular
fences around the periphery of property and swi~ing pool fencing. This
item was referred back to the Building Cora~ittee.
The second subject discussed concerned staples for use in roofing. It was
the decision of the C~,~ttee that stapling does not offer the close serutiny
for inspection by the Building Department to determine if the work is being Staples
done satisfactorily. In addition, staples call f ~ the use of stapling guns in
for shingling and the possibility exists that staples Jam when they are imp-Roofing
roperly applied, and if the stop key is not used on the staple gun, the staples
would then go completely through the shingle into the roof and would not hold.
Trustee Sederman, seconded by Trustee Furst, moved to concur with the recora-
mendation of the Building Cc~mittee and prohibit the use of staples in roofing.
