EXECUTIVE SESSION
JUNE 28, 1994
The Executive Session was called to order at 9:45 p.m., in the conference room of the
Senior Citizens Center, 50 South Emerson Street, for the purpose of discussing Property
Disposition and Litigation. Present at the Executive Session were: Mayor Gerald Farley;
Trustees George Clowes, Paul Hoefert, Michaele Skowron and Irvana Wilks. Absent from
the Executive Session were: Trustees Timothy Corcoran and Richard Hendricks. Also
present were: Assistant to the Village Manager David Strahl, Planning Director Bill
Cooney and Administrative Intern Cathleen Freels.
Property Disposition
Northwest Electric
The first item discussed was a presentation by Bill Cooney of a proposed plan to develop
the Northwest Electric building on Route 83 and the proposed use of Village-owned
property as part of the redevelopment. Bill Cooney showed the Board the original site,
the proposal by Northwest Electric and the plan suggested by Mr. Cooney for the site and
the relationship of the Village property has to the three proposals.
Northwest Electric wants to update their property, to expand warehousing and retail
space, but the plan they proposed is not adequate in terms of planning for the block.
The Trustees discussed the history of the site and the Village's dealing with various
business owners. The option of selling or swapping of the Village-owned property as it
relates to the overall redevelopment was discussed. Also discussed the options for the
site. From a planning standpoint, a general discussion of what would be best for that
entire block was discussed by the Village Board.
There was also a discussion about condemning certain property or letting the private
sector market forces shape the development.

It was suggested that Bill Cooney propose a plan for the entire site but a final decision
by the Board should wait until two missing Trustees can be included in the discussion.
Developing the entire site may require some condemnation of which a consensus of the
Board should determine this direction pursued.
Mayor Farley suggested that we discuss a Condemnation Policy with a full Board.
The Board consensus was to consider the Planning Department alternative, but get a
consensus of possible use of condemnation of certain areas of the block.
One-Five South Emerson
David. Strahl advised the Village Board that the Library has expressed some interest in
obtaining the Village-owned properties of 1, 3, 5 South Emerson for parking for the
proposed expansion. The Library requested a proposed figure from the Village Board
which was a realistic value that the Library might be expected to pay. Trustees Hoefert
and Skowron expressed desire to recoup the entire cost of the property that the Library
wants from the Village. General consensus of the Village Board was to consider full
value of the property.

Sports Health Spa
Dave Strahl distributed copies of a memo from Village Attorney Everette Hill to Village
Manager Michael Janonis. Mr. Hill suggested we drop the pending Appeal due to the fact
that the business has, in fact, closed. After some discussion about the legal aspects of
the case, the Board agreed with Mr. Hill's suggestion to withdraw the Appeal of the
business license revocation of the Sports Health Spa.
There was no other business discussed.
The Executive Session was adjourned at 10:35 p.m.
