Mr. Balling introduced the subject, and Mr. Sheehan reported YARDWASTE DISPOSAL
to the Board on his findings on this subject. COMPOSTING
Trustee Shifrin stated that he thinks the community would be
very adverse to anything less than twice-per-week pick up;
he believes that the Village needs to take a responsible and
agressive approach to this issue.
Lee Addleman of Buffalo Grove-Wheeling Disposal, made a
presentation to the Board with regard to the recycling
program, possible expansion of the program, and state law
mandating yardwaste conversion. Mr. Mazzenga's letter to
Mr. Balling of November 13, 1989 offers further details of
the state law. Mr. Addleman then presented a slide
presentation relating to plastic recycling and yardwaste
disposal.
7769
11/20/89
Trustee Shifrin stated that he would like to see a proposal
with refuse collection twice per week, with the addition of
recyclable materials on one day and the addition of
composting material on the other day.
Trustee Marienthal asked that the number of households
surveyed be increased in order to get a better idea of
whether or not residents would be willing to go to once per
week refuse pick-up.
Mr. Addelman stated that he has seven possible sites for the
yardwaste and reviewed those sites.
Trustee Shifrin stated that he believes that the Village
must make every effort to maintain the same level of
service.
Trustee Reid asked about the cost comparison of garbage cans
versus the Kraft bags. Mr. Addelman commented, and stated
that he would prefer the Kraft bags because they require
less labor; at this time, no site will accept biodegradeable
plastic bags. Mr. Addelman then commented on the test
program they are conducting with plastic containers. Mr.
Addelman also stated that the company cost of recycling is
more than the $1.00 per month which is being charged to the
residents; with once per week refuse pick-up and once per
week compost/recycleable pick-up, the cost would rise from
$12/year to approximately $21-24/year.
Trustee Shifrin and Trustee Mathias commented that local
1 government must take the intiative in dealing with this
situation.
Mr. Addelman stated that they pay $20-$35/ton in tipping
fees; the Minneapolis area just mandated $95/ton, and the
East Coast pays $100-$150/ton in tipping fees.
In response to a question from Trustee Reid, Mr. Balling
stated that we have not solicited other proposals, since
Buffalo Grove Disposal is now in the second year of an
exclusive contract.
There was discussion with regard to townhome areas
participating in recycling, and also educating the community
with regard to whatever choice is taken, i.e. higher costs
or decrease in pick-ups. It was also noted that the Village
could continue on as is, and have each individual homeowner
responsible for their own yardwaste.
Mr. Addelman stated that they will take into consideration
the comments made tonight and bring a proposal before the
Board.

11/20/89
Mr. Brimm reviewed the Village Six-Month Fiscal Report, FY1989-90 SIX
details of which are contained in his memo to Mr. Balling of MONTH FINANCIAL
November 7, 1989. STATUS
Trustee Mathias complimented Mr. Brimm on this report, and
asked if there are any areas which warrant particular
attention. Mr. Brimm stated that the main area which is
always closely monitored is non-recurring revenue.
\%.00/ Trustee Marienthal also complimented the staff on the
excellent report.
Mr. Balling presented the FY 90 Golf Services Budget, FY 90 GOLF SERVICES
details of which are contained in his budget message to the BUDGET
Board of November 10, 1989. Mr. Balling then reviewed the
actual budget in detail, and answered questions from the
Board.
Trustee Reid stated that he is disappointed in the rate
structure between residents and non-residents, and he would
like to see some further figures on same.
Trustee Marienthal agreed with Trustee Reid with regard to
the rate structure; he believes that the gap between
residents and non-residents should be widened, since the
residents are paying the taxes on the property. Mr.
Molinaro stated that there is a point where, if too much
revenue is given away, the tax burden might increase.
President Clayton stated that it appears that the Buffalo ,
Grove resident should be charged what the fee should be,
with the non-resident paying the larger fee. Mr. Balling
stated that, at present, residents are charged a
substantially reduced rate, and if it were done otherwise,
we would lose play because the non-residents would be
charged a much higher rate than the market will allow.
At the request of Trustee Reid, Mr. Brimm reviewed the
membership rates.
President Clayton again expressed her concern with regard to
the fee structure between residents and non-residents.
With regard to a question from Trustee Shifrin, Mr.
Schwister stated that, in order to maintain business during
the off season, they are advertising more, using coupons,
and also banquet business.
Moved by Reid, seconded by Marienthal, to move to Executive EXECUTIVE MEETING
Meeting to discuss Land Acquisition and Pending Litigation.
