8/6/90
Phil Versten reviewed his memo to Mr. Balling of August 2,1990 REFUSE
regarding the interim report on community response to changes COLLECT-
on refuse collection. ION
Mr. Balling stated that, with regard to the calls concerned
with health aspects, the Village Health Officer has noted
that once-per-week collection should present no problems if
the refuse is properly handled. Mr. Balling stated that
suggestions for proper handling will be published in the next
Village newsletter. Staff is looking into the possibility
of having twice-per-week pick-up for those residents who so
desire that service.
Trustee Kahn stated that there are probably more people
unhappy with the program than are calling; he stated that,
while the program is being reviewed, other options should be
explored, such as placing dumpsters in strategically located
spots that residents may use.
Trustee Marienthal asked the Park District representatives
if they had problems with "dumping" in the park sites; Mr.
Rylko responded that they have been having that problem.
Trustee Marienthal stated that the Village must inform
people that this is not an acceptable practice, and that
staff should establish the necessary ordinances to make sure
that the "dumping" is stopped.
In response to Trustee Kahn's remarks, Trustee Marienthal
stated that the Village must repond to the survey sent out
earlier in the year, where 82% of the residents who returned
the survey stated that they prefer the once-per-week
alternative to an extra pick-up. The Village should give
this system a chance to work, and also should educate the
residents as to how they can make this alternative work.
Steve Cartozian, 822 Stonebridge, stated a concern for
health, and stated that he has noticed small animals in his
neighborhood since the new program began; he believes the
Village should offer twice-per-week refuse pick-up, with an
option for yard waste; he believes the Village should have
more than one refuse company; he believes refuse should be
the #1 priority. Mr. Balling responded to Mr. Cartozian's
points.
Dennis Gibrick, stated that it is not necessary to have pick
up of recyclables every week; there is not that much of a
market for recyclable materials; there could be drop-off
locations for recyclables rather that curbside pick-up. Mr.
Balling responded to Mr. Gibrick's comments.
Elyse Narkin, 491 Thorndale, stated that she generates a lot
of garbage, and now has maggots in her garage; once-per-
week pick-up is jeopardizing the health of her family; she
7932
8/6/90
pays too much in taxes to have only once-per-week pick-up;
there should be a provision for another refuse service to
come in and pick up if she is willing to pay for it; she did
not receive the survey form which was sent out.
Josie Gaines, 489 Thorndale, also has maggots in her garage;
she did not answer the questionaire; she believes this
should be put to a vote; she does not believe that 52% of
the residents answered the questionaire; this system does
not work for people with children in diapers; she did not
receive the survey; she pays too much in taxes to have only
once-per-week pick-up.
Paula Kramer stated that she has not had any problems with
the new system, and likes the program as it is in place
right now.
President Clayton stated that the comments made will be
considered as the Board evaluates the situation in
determining what will be done in the future. Trustee
O'Malley stated that he believes it is important to have
this topic come back before the Board; he would like to have
information accessible so that a determination can be made;
he believes this should be brought back before the Board
after the program is over this year and all information is
available to the Board; so that a decision can be made for
next year.
President Clayton suggested that residents put their
comments in writing so that they can be distributed to the
entire Board.
Trustee Marienthal stated that staff should review what
other communities are doing and how they are responding to
their residents' comments.
Mark Slepak, 2901 Acacia Terrace, asked how quickly another
survey could be put to the residents. Mr. Balling explained
the process involved in putting the survey to the community.
Mr. Balling noted Mr. Szymborski's memo to him of CHERBOURG
August 2, 1990 regarding the permit fees for Pulte FRT
(FRT Replacement
replacement. In an incentive to move this along, staff Program)
recommendation is that the roof repairs be considered
corrective work; there was no objection from the Board to
this recommendation.

August 2, 1990.
Trustee Marienthal stated that he does not see a big demand
for lighted tennis courts; Mr. Rylko responded, and

place at the Plan Commission.
Moved by O'Malley, seconded by Kahn, to pass Ordinance
#90-55, amending a special use in the R-4 District for
lighted tennis courts at Old Farm Village II Park.
Janice Nelson, 1409 Madison Drive, believes that the height
of the poles is too high; she does not believe there is a
need for lighted tennis courts; she believes 10:30 P.M. is
too late to have the lights on; she believes there will be
too much noise from the lighted tennis courts; she believes
the cost is too high.
In answer to a question from Trustee Marienthal, Park
Commissioner Weiss stated that the 10:30 P.M. shut off time
was picked so as to be consistent with the other courts, and
complaints have not been received regarding those courts.
Trustee Kahn asked if there were any statistics as to how
much use the lighted courts received at various time
7937
8/6/90
periods, i.e. 9:00-9:30, etc. Mr. Rylko stated that they do
not have statistics like that.

plan did not show lighted tennis courts or a basketball
court, and the bike path did not run adjacent to his house;
the bike path runs right under his bedroom window; he is
frequently in bed before 10:30 P.M., so the lights would
create a hardship for him; he believes the Board should have
notified residents before these changes were made to the
plan. Mr. Balling responded to Mr. Berman's comments.
Rick Nelson, 1409 Madison, suggested putting lights on the
reservoir tennis courts; Mr. Rylko responded to Mr. Nelson.
