which was the project slated for the 25th anniversary of the SIGN
Village. President Clayton then read a list of community organiza-
tions which had contributed to the sign fund, the total sum of which
added up to $5,690.00. This sum will probably be enough for the zip
letter sign, and President Clayton asked the Board for their comments
on whether or not the zip letter sign should be purchased, or if there

11/5/84
Trustee O'Reilly stated that she did not believe that $25,000 should
be taken out of Village funds for the electronic sign, and she
believes that the zip letter sign should be purchased. Mr. Balling
stated that there is a $25,000 line item in his budget toward the
purchase of the sign; however, the expenditure of this sum is con-
ditional upon the receipt of matching funds from the community. There
was then discussion on the suggestions which had been presented by
Trustee Marienthal. Trustee Hartstein stated that, based on the
financial situation, he would support the concept of moving ahead
with the purchase of the zip letter sign. Trustee Glover also
believes that the Village should go ahead with the purchase of the
zip letter sign. Trustee Reid supports the purchase of the zip
letter sign, and he suggested that perhaps the zip letter sign
could incorporate some of the same parts which would be needed for
an electronic sign, so that, if funds became available in the future,
it might be easier to convert the zip letter sign to an electronic
sign. President Clayton stated that staff will have the specs drawn
up for the zip letter sign.
President Clayton reported that she had received a letter from SUBURBAN
Mr. Charles Zettek, stating that Glenn Ahrenholz has been appointedBUS BOARD

stating Buffalo Grove's opposition to the proposed Arlington #84-68
Country Club development; she asked the Trustees to share their (Arlington
thoughts so that she can present them also to the Wheeling Village Country
Board. Trustee Hartstein stated that he has had some calls Club)
relating to the proposal for the Happ Farm II, opposing the type
of density, and the traffic problems in particular. Trustee Reid
stated that he has also had comments from people in opposition to
both the Happ Farm II and the Arlington Country Club development.
Trustee Marienthal stated that both of the proposed developments
can have a very serious effect on the quality of life in our
community, as well as in the communities of Arlington Heights and
Wheeling.
Moved by O'Reilly, seconded by Reid, to pass Resolution #84-68,
in opposition to the proposed Arlington Country Club development
in Wheeling. Trustee O'Reilly stated that she will attend the
Village Board meeting in Wheeling on November 19, 1984 in order to
present Buffalo Grove's position on this development. Trustee
Hartstein pointed out that he has no problem with either community
developing the land proposed, but Arlington Heights and Wheeling
must be mindful of the tremendous impact that both of these develop-
ments are going to have on the entire area. Upon roll call, Trustees
voted as follows:
AYES: 5 - Marienthal, O'Reilly, Hartstein, Glover, Reid
NAYES: 0 - None

Trustee Reid urged all residents to vote in the national ELECTION
election tomorrow.
Mr. Balling noted the revised pages to be inserted in the SNOW & ICE
Village of Buffalo Grove Snow and Ice Control Program. Trustee CONTROL
O'Reilly stated that she assumed that there were no significant PROGRAM
changes to the plan; Mr. Boysen stated that there were no
significant changes.
Mr. Balling reported on the progress of the repair of Well #6, WELL #6
and he stated that when all testing is complete, and the well
is operating as it should, the emergency 24-hour outdoor water
ban will be lifted.
Mr. Balling reported that Richco Plastics has withdrawn their INDUSTRIAL
request for Industrial Revenue Bonds; Long Grove Confectionary REVENUE BONDS
had indicated a desire to request an additional $300,000 in
Industrial Revenue Bonds to be slated for expansion; there was
no objection from the Board to entertaining this request.
Mr. Balling stated that, because of earlier closing times at the BUFFALO GROVE
landfills, Buffalo Grove Disposal is asking to be able to begin DISPOSAL
garbage pick-up at 6:00 or 6:30 A.M. Mr. Balling asked for the
thoughts of the Board on this proposal. Trustee Reid thinks that
6:00 or 6:30 A.M. is too early to have the heavy equipment in the
streets, and he thinks the disposal company may have to add more
trucks and/or personnel. Trustee O'Reilly stated that she is
reluctant to have garbage pick-up begin that early; perhaps the
disposal company needs to look at more efficient measures of
operation such as eliminating the 1-man truck; perhaps there
needs to be better education in the community as to the regula-
tions for refuse pick-up. Trustee Marienthal has serious reserva-
tions regarding beginning pick-up at 6:00 A.M. ; he believes that the
operation may be more efficiently run, and he also thinks that the
disposal company might need to go back to having two men on a truck.
Trustee Glover does not wish to increase the hours of operation,
but, since there are more customers now than there have been in the
past, the disposal company will need to expand their operation to
meet the demand. Mr. Balling will inform the disposal company that
the Board does not wish to pursue expanded hours of operation.
Mr. Raysa brought the Board up to date on the Candlewood Creek CANDLEWOOD
East Letter of Credit; he stated that he filed suit in 1983 on CREEK

the Candlewood Creek East property. Mr. Raysa received a request
today stating that a new Letter of Credit will be issued and the
Village Attorney's fees would be paid by a developer in exchange
for an order and stipulation dismissing the suit. Moved by O'Reilly,
seconded by Reid, to direct the Village Attorney to dismiss the suit
in exchange for a new Letter of Credit and payment of the Village
Attorney's fees. Mr. Raysa pointed out that there will be a new
developer and a new Letter of Credit. Upon roll call, Trustees voted
