EXECUTIVE SESSION
SEPTEMBER 7, 1993
The Executive Session was called to order at 10:50 p.m., in the Human Services
Conference Room of the Senicr Citizens Center, 50 South Emerson Street, for the
purpose of discussing Litigation and Property Disposition. Present at the Executive
Session were: Mayor Gerald Farley; Trustees George Clowes, Timothy Corcoran,
Richard Hendricks, Paul Hoefert, Michaele Skowron and Irvana Wilks. Also present were:
Village Manager Michael Janonis and Assistant to the Village Manager David Strahl.
Village Manager Michael Janonis provided the following updates regarding:
Litiqation
Mr. Janonis indicated that Village Attorney Everette Hill and Public Works Director Herb
Weeks had met with RJN Environmental for the purpose of exploring alternate solutions
to the Hatlen Heights Sewer conflict. While RJN claimed they could resolve the conflict
for less, the Village, through Mr. Hill, indicated that we would accept no resolution that
compromised the original design criteria in any way. As a result of the meeting, Messrs.
Hill and Weeks indicated that they would review RJN's calculations and assumptions to
determine if they -had any merit. Mr. Weeks indicated he may have a report by the end
of the week and if it were available, the Manager would pass it on to Board members.
On a related item, Village Manager brought elected officials up to date on negotiations
for easements that would be required as part of the pending plan to resolve the sewer
conflict. The resident at 450 Lincoln appeared to be willing to work with the Village if the
level of compensation was sufficient. The resident at 1700 Hatlen, however, made an
initial request that the Village buy his property in its entirety. Apparently I he has had a
problem with settling foundation in the past and is concerned that the auguring could
~"/orsen the situation. Mr. Weeks had offered to pay for a structural engineer of the
owner's choice to confirm that auguring would have no adverse effect on his property.
Negotiations with both parties are ongoing.
The possibility of having to proceed with condemnation actions was discussed if
easements could not be obtained through negotiations. A full-blown Hearing could take
six months and that could require the project to be closed down for the winter and re-
starting the project in the spring.
Property Disposition
The Village Manager reported the following:
1. Sunrise Park: Mr. .Janonis reported that he was expecting a counter-offer
from District 57 by the end of the week. That counter-offer may come in
the form of an offer to purchase five acres of land at the contract formula
price as opposed to swapping land with District 57 at the Lions Park site.
The Village Manager indicated he would pass on any additional information
to Board members .as soon as he received it.
2. PinelWille Redevelopment: Mr. Janonis reported the results of staffs
meeting with Mr. Ray Franczak and their proposal for a redevelopment
project on the PinelWille property. Mr. Franczak's proposal would be for a
condominium project similar in nature to the Broadacre apartment proposal.
During this preliminary meeting, Mr. Franczak indicated that he would be
willing to pay value for the property. Specific terms and other conditions
would need to be negotiated as part of a Developer Agreement.
After Village Board discussion, staff was directed to meet with other developers to
determine interest in the site and to get preliminary reaction regarding what value they
would be willing to pay for the site. The Village Manager indicated he would keep the
Village Board members informed of any progress.
The Executive Session was adjourned after a Motion by Trustee Hendricks and Seconded
by Trustee Clowes at 11 :25 p.m.
