Upon roll call: Ayes: Nays: Motion carried. Corcoran, Hoefert, Lohrstorfer, Skowron, Wilks, Zadel None ZBA 31-01, Text Amendments, Village of Mount Prospect An ordinance was presented for first reading, which would amend Chapter 14 of the Village Code by changing the height requirements for fences surrounding swimming pools from four-feet, six inches (4'6") to four-feet (4'), to be consistent with BOCA regulations and the Illinois Department of Public Health. The ordinance also would amend Chapter 14 by allowing fences around public swimming pools to be a tall as eight- feet (8'), and would allow fences to be located around the perimeter of the pool areas. Currently, the Code requires a maximum height of five-feet (5'), and requires the fence to be located on the lot line.

Corcoran, Hoefert, Lohrstorfer, Skowron, Wilks, Zadel None Trustee Hoefert, seconded by Trustee Corcoran, moved for approval of Ordinance No. 5220: AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 14 (ZONING) OF THE VILLAGE CODE OF MOUNT PROSPECT Upon roll call: Ayes: Nays: Motion carried. Corcoran, Hoefert, Lohrstorfer, Skowron, Wilks, Zadel None A resolution was presented which would allow the Village to enter into an intergovernmental agreement for Mount Prospect to sell water to Prospect Heights Park District and Prospect Heights Library District. The agreement requires the users to pay the out-of-Village rate for the water. Trustee Hoefert asked for information relative to reciprocity, at which time Eric Burns, Executive Director of the Park District, stated that an agreement is being formed for cooperative use of their facilities and programs. He stated that when the agreement is finalized, residents of Mount Prospect Park District, Prospect Heights Park District, and River Trails Park District would maintain "partner resident" status, allowing non-residents of each park district to be accepted into each other's programs and facilities as residents. He also stated that there are details to be established which relate to golf fee rates, as that is the one program which would not be the same cost to "partner residents" as it is to residents. Mr. Burns stated that the agreement would initially be for a term of three years, with the option of reviewing and making adjustments as needed. Trustee Wilks emphasized that her vote of approval was in no way influenced by the golf fee aspect of the cooperative agreement, rather that it was purely because Prospect Heights was a neighbor in need of water. Trustee Corcoran emphasized for the benefit of viewers and the audience, that any future requests for water would only be considered with the possibility of annexation to the Village. 3 RES.
