PROCLAMATION—BUILDING SAFETY WEEK
President Hartstein reach from a proclamation declaring the week of April 2-8,2000 as International Building Safety
Week,urging building safety and awareness as to the importance of construction and building codes.
ROUTE 83 OVERPASS
Trustee Braiman noted that at the last Regular Meeting,the Board awarded a contract for the construction of the
Route 83 overpass. Trustee Braiman stated that this approval was predicated in part by the belief that there would be
a park on the north side of Route 83. Since the Park District referendum was defeated,that park has an uncertain
future,and Trustee Braiman believes the funds allocated for the overpass could be better used elsewhere, such as
towards senior facilities,and he asked that there be a motion to reconsider.
Trustee Berman agrees with Trustee Braiman's comments, and he believes this presents an opportunity for the
Village Board, in cooperation with the Park District,to make a far more constructive use of those funds.
Trustee Hendricks stated that the funds are earmarked for an overpass and not eligible for any other use.
President Hartstein asked if any of the Trustees wished to make a motion to reconsider; a motion to reconsider was
not forthcoming.
ROUTE 83/BUFFALO GROVE ROAD
Trustee Marienthal reported that he had talked with Mr.Kuenkler regarding the timing of the signal at Route 83 and
Buffalo Grove Road, and that the situation should be rectified within 30-60 days.
RELAY FOR LIFE—AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY
Trustee Berman reviewed the upcoming Relay for Life sponsored by the American Cancer Society May 6-7,2000,
and urged residents to get involved either by entering a team or sponsoring a team.
GUN SAFETY
Trustee Berman asked staff to confer with our Police Department concerning gun safety. He would like to see how a
policy might be formulated that continues to respect the right of the officers to determine which weapons best suit
their needs,while at the same time indicating community support and preference for those gun manufacturers who
voluntarily undertake efforts to improve gun safety. He asked that staff prepare a resolution to that effect.
