\V ~v- JULY 14, 1998
The Closed Session was called to order at 10:32 p.m., in the conference room of the
Senior Center, 50 South Emerson Street, for the purpose of discussing Personnel and
Property Acquisition. Present at the Closed Session were: Mayor Gerald Farley; Trustees
George Clowes, Timothy Corcoran, Paul Hoefert, Richard Lohrstorfer, Daniel Nocchi and
Irvana Wilks. Also present was Village Manager Michael Janonis.
No previous Closed Session Minutes were presented for review and approval.
Personnel
Village Manager Janonis reported that he had no items for discussion under the heading
of Personnel.
Property Acquisition
Village Manager Janonis reported that he had follow-up conversation with representatives
from Northwest Electric. They had not provided a comprehensive proposal for acquisition
of their property by July 10 as they had previously promised. In subsequent phone
conversations, Mr. Janonis reported that he was told it would be another week or so before
they were prepared to make their proposal.
There was general discussion among Board members who felt that any in-depth
discussions could not take place until such a proposal was forthcoming. Staff was directed
to keep Board members informed of any progress with Northwest Electric.
Mr. Janonis also reported that Mayor Farley, Bill Cooney and he had had a follow-up
meeting with Continental Bakery regarding a Site Plan for the small triangle area. The
revised Site Plan was reviewed by Board members. Mr. Janonis indicated that from an
initial review standpoint, it looked like a viable plan with adequate parking. Mr. Janonis
reported that there were discussions regarding property acquisitions costs as well as the
cost of constructing the proposed facility. Continental Bakery representatives indicated
that the costs identified to date regarding construction and land values were within the
conceptually feasible based on their initial research.
General discussion among Board members regarding the Continental Bakery proposal was
favorable. It was noted that there was an interest in the municipal lot at the southwest
corner of Busse Avenue and Main Street for the relocation of the Francek general store.
This would conflict with the Continental Bakery proposal. There was brief discussion
regarding the alternate proposal to expand the preservation row area. This would require
a shrinking of the Continental Bakery building. It would also allow for the possibility of
relocating Fannie May Candies to the site.
There was general discussion among Board members indicating that if the Continental plan
continued to prove feasible and resulted in private development, it was viewed as leading
the redevelopment scenario for the small triangle.
There was no other discussion in Closed Session. The Closed Session was adjourned
upon unanimous vote based on a Motion by Trustee Nocchi and Seconded by Trustee
Hoefert at 11 :02 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
