1985-01-21 - Village Board Regular Meeting - Minutes 6534
1/21/85
MINUTES OF A REGULAR MEETING OF THE
VILLAGE BOARD OF THE VILLAGE OF BUFFALO
GROVE, ILLINOIS, HELD IN THE COUNCIL
CHAMBERS, VILLAGE HALL, JANUARY 21, 1985.
President Clayton called the meeting to order at 7:31 P.M. CALL TO ORDER
Those present stood and pledged allegiance to the Flag.
Roll call indicated the following present: President Clayton, ROLL CALL
Trustees O'Reilly, Hartstein, Glover, and Reid. Trustee
Marienthal arrived at 7:39 P.M. Trustee Stone was absent. Also
present were: William Balling, Village Manager; William Raysa,
Village Attorney; James Doyle, Assistant Village Manager; William
Brimm, Finance Director; Richard Kuenkler, Village Engineer;
James Truesdell, Village Planner; and Police Chief McCann.
Trustee O'Reilly moved to table the ordinance regarding the HANDGUN CONTROL
sale and possession of handguns and handgun ammunition, but
to retain the discussion and voting on the referendum items.
Trustee Reid seconded the motion. Upon voice vote, the motion
was unanimously declared carried.
Trustee Reid stated that he believes that the entire discussion
should be postponed until the entire Board has the opportunity
to hear from the community.
Trustee Hartstein disagreed with Trustee Reid because there
was lengthy discussion on the subject at the last Regular
Meeting, and there appeared to be general support on seeking the
input of the community.
Trustee Reid stated that he does not believe the Board is in
a position to authorize a referendum because the issues that
would be involved in an ordinance have not been discussed.
Trustee Reid stated that he has an aversion to advisory
referenda because he believes that, once the question is
asked, the Board has an obligation to follow the direction
of the citizens.
Trustee Glover agrees with Trustee Hartstein that there should be
public input, and he also agrees with Trustee Reid that the question
should not be put to the voters without further public input. Trustee
Glover believes that the wording of an advisory referendum is
extremely important, and the Board still has not agreed on wording
for same; he believes that, if an advisory referendum is the choice
of the Board, it would only be better if the time is spent to get
the public input, and make sure that it is worded properly, and
directed toward a specific ordinance on controlling handguns.
6535
1/21/85
Trustee O'Reilly stated that there are several possibilities for
a referendum, and because of the time constraints, every effort
should be made to get the referendum on the ballot if that is the
desire of the Board. Trustee O'Reilly believes that the Board
should get the input of the community tonight and see if the
wording can be agreed upon, and if not, then the question should
not be put on the ballot.
Trustee Hartstein pointed out that the election of Trustees is
uncontested, and, therefore, the issue of handgun control could
be thoroughly communicated to the voters, without having it become
a political issue.
Trustee Marienthal arrived at this time.
Moved by Reid, seconded by Glover, to table the ordinances with
regard to submission of advisory referenda questions since Trustee
Stone is not present. Upon roll call, Trustees voted as follows:
AYES: 2 - Glover, Reid
NAYES: 3 - Marienthal, O'Reilly, Hartstein
Motion defeated.
President Clayton stated that the item will be taken up at the
regular place on the agenda.
Moved by O'Reilly, seconded by Reid, to approve the minutes of APPROVAL OF
the January 7, 1985 Regular Meeting. Upon roll call, Trustees MINUTES
voted as follows:
AYES: 5 - Marienthal, O'Reilly, Hartstein, Glover, Reid
NAYES: 0 - None
ABSENT: 1 - Stone
Motion declared carried.
Mr. Kochendorfer read Warrant #542. Moved by O'Reilly, WARRANT #542
seconded by Hartstein, to approve Warrant #542 in the amount
of $598,251.13, authorizing payment of bills listed. Upon
roll call, Trustees voted as follows:
AYES: 5 - Marienthal, O'Reilly, Hartstein, Glover, Reid
NAYES: 0 - None

Motion declared carried.
President Clayton appointed the following people to the 1985 BUFFALO GROVE
Buffalo Grove Days Committee: Al Preusker, Chairman; John DAYS - 1985
Walker, Mitchell Turoff, Mary Kowieski, Dennis Preusker,
Cheryl Winstead, Dana Knaak, and Louis Paolillo. Moved by
Reid, seconded by Marienthal, to concur with President Clayton's
appointments. Upon voice vote, the motion was unanimously
declared carried.
Trustee O'Reilly noted a letter she had distributed from IRS REGULATIONS
Congressman John Porter regarding IRS regulations with respect
to cars. Trustee O'Reilly had believed that this was a dead
issue, but Congressman Porter's letter leads her to believe
6536
1/21/85
that it is not a dead issue; therefore, in consideration
of what it will do to the Village staff as far as regulations,
she would like the Village to send a letter to Congressman
Porter opposing these regulations, and also to let the Lake
County Municipal League and the Northwest Municipal Conference
know that it might be very timely to voice some opposition to
these regulations.
Trustee Hartstein stated that he thinks it might be premature
to go on record as opposing these regulations, when we do not
know exactly what we are opposing.
Trustee O'Reilly does not think that staff has to make a full
study on all of it; she believes the term "cumbersome" is
the operative word; she thinks that the Village should voice
an opinion that these regulations are costly to the Village
prior to the February 6, 1985 deadline.
Trustee Hartstein would like more information on what the
Village would be opposing.
Trustee O'Reilly suggested that the Village President and the
Village Manager could use their discretion to voice an opinion
on behalf of the Village.
President Clayton asked Mr. Balling to draft a letter on the
issue, with a copy to the Board.
Mr. Balling noted the submission of the Management Report MANAGEMENT
for December, 1984; there were no questions on same. REPORT
Mr. Balling noted that the Village is in the process of BUFFALO GROVE
acquiring additional right-of-way on Buffalo Grove Road ROAD
north of Lake-Cook Road. The Village has gone to trial on
one of four parcels, and have reached a jury decision on the
first parcel, which is parcel #4. Based on that decision by
the jury, the Village was able to negotiate a settlement on
parcel #1. Parcel #1 was appraised at $3,000, and the owners
contested a $15,000 value on the property; the Village was
able to settle for $6,000. It required four days in court
to try parcel #4, and it is anticipated that it would take
that long to try parcel #1; therefore, it would be more
economical to the Village to settle for the $6,000 fee,
based on the costs which would be incurred in court. In
order to settle, following the procedures of the FAUS, it
would be necessary for the Village Board to accept a settle-
ment on parcel #1 in connection with the condemnation of the
Buffalo Grove Road Lake County project, in the amount of $6,000.
If the Board would consider approval of that this evening, staff
could move ahead with the remaining two parcels. It is likely
that parcel #2 would have to be tried because of a substantial
difference between the Village and the owner of the parcel as
to the value of the land.
6537
1/21/85
Moved by O'Reilly, seconded by Reid, to approve the settlement
of $6,000 for parcel #1 with regard to the Lake County portion
of Buffalo Grove Road. Upon roll call, Trustees voted as
follows:
AYES: 5 - Marienthal, O'Reilly, Hartstein, Glover, Reid
NAYES: 0 - None
ABSENT: 1 - Stone
Motion declared carried.
Mr. Raysa stated that he did not have any problem with the
motion, even though it was not on the agenda.
Mr. Balling gave the Board an update on the Knuth parcel. KNUTH PARCEL
There is not a firm commitment by the developer and/or owner
at the time; however, the Village has received a request from
Marc Schwartz, attorney for the developer, requesting an
extension of 60 days to secure a commitment of the property.
Trustee O'Reilly stated that holding it out for another 60 days
could be a detriment to anyone else coming in. Trustee Marienthal
agrees with Trustee O'Reilly, and stated that the Village cannot
extend on a non-executed contract.
Trustee Hartstein stated that he is concerned about jeopardizing
the project, and thinks that the Village should do all within
its power to see this project move. Trustee Hartstein suggested
granting this extension, subject to an "out" in the event some-
thing else presents itself.
Mr. Raysa stated that the tool that the Village would have
would be granting the extension, giving them 30 days to close
on the deal; if that did not occur, the application would not
go through. Moved by Hartstein, seconded by Glover, to grant
the extension as requested by the developer on the Knuth parcel
until March 31, 1985. Upon roll call, Trustees voted as follows:
AYES: 3 - Hartstein, Glover, Reid
NAYES: 2 - Marienthal, O'Reilly
ABSENT: 1 - Stone
Motion declared carried.
President Clayton asked if there were any questions from the QUESTIONS FROM
audience; there were none. THE AUDIENCE

that any member of the audience or the Board could request
that an item be removed for full discussion; there were no
such requests.

and directing execution thereof by the President and Clerk
of the Village of Buffalo Grove.
Trustee O'Reilly stated that she believes that a time limit
should be put on the Village's efforts to secure participation
from the state for the traffic signal. Mr. Balling stated that
three to six months would be reasonable, at which time, if
there was not state participation, the signal would become
a developer expense exclusively.
Mr. Benkert stated that he is aware of the factthat
t at the
developer will be responsible for any damage which the developer
does to the road.
Trustee Marienthal asked if it would be beneficial to have the
pavement evaluated prior to and after construction, at a cost
to be borne by the developer; Mr. Kuenkler stated that that is
the procedure used for Newtown Drive.
6540
1/21/85
Mr. Benkert stated that he does not think that would be fair,
since they have already agreed not to use Weidner Road. Mr.
Kuenkler stated that the damage would only be assessed if
the developer were allowed to use Weidner Road.
Mr. Balling stated that this stipulation will be made a part
of the DIA for the phase.

President Clayton reviewed the proposed ordinance, and reviewed HANDGUN
the criteria to be used for comments from the audience in this CONTROL
discussion.
Trustee Hartstein clarified the proposed ordinance for the
audience.
Dino Selimos, 5 Clover Hill Court, asked for the exact wording of
the ordinance; Trustee Hartstein outlined the three basic points
of the proposed ordinance, as well as the two proposed referendum
questions which are before the Board.
John Biccum, 253 Cottonwood, stated that there is no limit to
what can be considered handgun ammunition; he does not agree that
the proposed ordinance would tighten up state law; he stated that
everyone is in favor of gun control, and that his definition of
gun control is hitting his target.
Joy Fisher, 567 Weidner Road, stated that she thinks the community
would be safer without guns, and she thinks that the citizenry
ought to have the opportunity to speak out.
David Pfau, 254 University Drive, asked a question which was
answered by Trustee Hartstein.
II
v
1
6541
1/21/85
Howard Lang, 1129 Franklin, asked how long someone would be
locked up for violating the handgun law.
Alan Krawczyk, Winding Oak Lane, stated that everyone wants
gun control, but they do not understand the issue.
W. E. David, Lake Boulevard, stated that the law is aimed at
the law-abiding citizen, not the criminal, and it is a very
foolish law.
Raleigh Hackbarth, 730 Thompson, stated that he thinks the
issue should be taken up at the state level.
George Krug, 297 St. Mary's, stated that if Buffalo Grove were
to pass this ordinance, other Villages might follow suit, and
eventually handguns would be out of circulation; he believes
handguns have only one purpose, and he is deadly opposed to them.
Donald Stratton, Horatio Boulevard, stated that the issue is being
fabricated, and he is definitely opposed to any form of gun control.
Mr. Lucasek, 614 Hawthorne, stated that this should not be a local
issue.
Joe Cannella, 232 University Drive, stated that there is not a
high crime rate in Buffalo Grove; if this ordinance were passed, the
syndicate would step in as was done during prohibition; the control
should be in the courts.
Nick Selimos, 5 Cloverdale Court, opposes the ordinance.
Earl Hilton, 485 Chatham, stated that some of the Board members
had never heard of a licensed gun club.
Bob Hodur, 667 Sycamore, stated that government interferes with
people's lives at every point.
Dino Selimos, 5 Cloverdale Court, stated that the referendum is not
to the benefit of Buffalo Grove; the state has done a pretty good
job on rules and regulations.
Gerald Dallinger, 222 Winding Oak, stated that when possession
of guns became against the law in Evanston, only 14 guns were turned
in.
Ted Brancheau, 237 University Drive, stated that, since Buffalo Grove
does not have a problem, we do not need regulations.
Nick Tufano, 949 Beechwood, stated that he does not understand why
handguns need to be banned in Buffalo Grove.
6542
1/21/85
Richard Bernstein, 3 Arbor Court, stated that, with the proposed
ordinance, he would be breaking the law walking from his house to his
car; Trustee Hartstein explained the exception for transporting to a
gun club, etc.
Scott Brumund, 481 Springside, asked why the Village would regulate
something which cannot be controlled.
Joe Cecchini, 1116 Bernard, stated that this is unfair to the law-
abiding citizen, and will not deter the person inclined to commit
a crime with a concealed weapon.
Mr. Wernikoff, 810 Kingsbridge, stated that he is opposed to the
proposed ordinance, and believes that the problem lies in the court
system.
Robert Christoff, 683 St. Mary's, stated that citizen's rights should
not be taken away, and that there is no crime in Buffalo Grove.
Hank Schultz, 460 Gregg Lane, stated that laws should be aimed at
the criminal aspect, and he does not like officials telling him
what to do.
Ed Richter, 642 Buckthorn, stated that he supports comments made
tonight, and he believes this is a political issue.
Brian Dennen, 322 W. Dundee Parkway, stated that he does not see
what will be proven by passing the ordinance; he said the Village
does not have a problem now.
David Pfau, 254 University Drive, asked who wants the laws changed.
James Valentino, Jr. , State Liaison from the National Rifle
Association, stated that the Board needs more information, and he
spoke on reasons why the ordinance should not be passed.
Barbara Mueller, Illinois State Rifle Association, also opposes
the ordinance, and stated that she would be willing to donate her
time to give instruction in handgun use.
Larry Pyzek, a businessowner in Plaza Verde, stated that he does
not hear much about crimes being committed with handguns in Buffalo
Grove; he does not think that the wording has been carefully thought out.
Richard Unger, Wheeling, stated his reasons for opposing the ordinance.
Charles Wilt, Wheeling, Northwest Gun Club, stated that it would be
advisable to explain the existing federal, state, and local laws
now on the books.
President Clayton declared a recess from 9:29 P.M. to 9:44 P.M. RECESS
6543
1/21/85
Trustee Hartstein presented the ordinance, and stated that a
referendum would provide valuable information for our state and
national representatives to have an understanding of what people
are thinking.
Trustee O'Reilly gave her thoughts on the subject, and stated
that she would support the formation of a committee comprised of a
knowledgeable group of people to study all aspects with regard
to gun control.
Trustee Glover has a concern about an advisory referendum; he does
not believe that the problem has been defined; if there is to be a
referendum, he would want to see precise wording so that the voter
will have a clear understanding of the issue; he does not believe
that an advisory referendum would be a mandate.
Trustee O'Reilly explained her thoughts on the study of gun
registration; her goal is not to take a weapon away from a sane
individual, but to take it away from people that should not have
access to guns. Trustee O'Reilly read the statement which she
would propose to be put on the ballot.
Trustee Reid stated that he respects both points of view; he
believes the question was brought up too late, and the Board is just
trying to formulate language tonight to meet the state deadline;
he thinks it is unfortunate to consider this part of the question
without the benefit of Trustee Stone's comments.
Trustee Marienthal stated that he leans towards the language that
Trustee O'Reilly has formulated, but he wonders if the recommenda-
tions would be utilized.
Trustee Hartstein shares some of Trustee Marienthal's concern
with regard to the results being used from the findings of the
suggested committee; he cited statistics from the state of
Massachusetts regarding the drop in crime rates when a handgun
law was enacted and enforced.
Trustee O'Reilly stated that she believes that the local ordinances
turn out to be meaningless, and she believes that a message should
be sent to the state legislators that there are aspects of gun
control which need addressing.
Trustee Glover agrees with Trustee Hartstein regarding a mandatory
jail sentence for crimes committed with weapons of any kind, and
he agrees with Trustee O'Reilly that there should be stricter
enforcement of laws for crimes committed with weapons; however,
he believes that there should be clear direction to legislators;
he believes the Board is being forced to take action without proper
review.
Trustee Marienthal stated that the creation of a committee would
cover all aspects of handgun control, and would then make recommendation
to the proper parties.
6544
1/21/85
Trustee Glover stated that he thinks the committee is a "cop-out",
and he does not think the committee could handle the situation any
better than the local elected officials.
Trustee O'Reilly suggested that the Governor appoint the committee,
with the findings to be reported to the state legislature.
Trustee Hartstein commented on a permit process for the possession
of a handgun.
Trustee O'Reilly stated that the voters would have to be informed of
the specifics of gun registration, since most people probably do not
fully understand it.
Trustee O'Reilly moved to authorize the submission of an advisory
referendum question to be worded as follows: "Shall the citizens of
Buffalo Grove request the Governor of the State of Illinois to establish
a Blue Ribbon Committee to study the issue of gun registration,
enforcement of existing regulations, mandatory prison sentences to
convict a person using weapons during the commission of a crime,
mandatory education for owners, control of sale and manufacturing,
and other related issues, with all findings to be reported to the
state legislature." Trustee Marienthal seconded the motion.
Trustee Reid again pointed out that the Board is "under the gun"
to get this done for the April election.
Trustee Hartstein stated that, as the question is presently worded,
he cannot see that any citizen would vote against the question; he
believes that the Board can pass a resolution tonight stating the
same thing, without having a referendum.
Trustee Marienthal stated that he would want to see mandatory jail
sentences for those committing a crime with a weapon, and also more
stringent regulations when it comes to the registration of firearms.
Trustee O'Reilly withdrew her motion; she pointed out that, since
this is an uncontested election, the voter turnout will be extremely
low, and she would rather see this issue on a ballot where there is a
larger turnout; she would like to see the wording which she proposed
put in resolution form and brought back to the Board for passage
to be sent to the Governor; she pointed out that there will be
two new Board members after April 2, 1985, and their views might
change the thoughts of the Board entirely.
Trustee Hartstein stated that he really believes that it is timely
for this issue to be addressed because of the thorough coverage it
will receive in the media; he believes that issues are too often put
off until the next Board or the next session of legislature; he
urged the Board to give thorough consideration to the issue.
Moved by Hartstein, seconded by Marienthal, to propose an ordinance
authorizing submission of a referendum question: "Shall the United
States Congress and Illinois Legislature formulate and enact
comprehensive legislation which further restricts the sale, use,
manufacture and possession of handguns."
6545
1/21/85
Trustee Glover again stated that he takes opposition to the suggested
referendum because of the lack of a clear definition.
Upon roll call, Trustees voted as follows:
AYES: 2 - Marienthal, Hartstein
NAYES: 3 - O'Reilly, Glover, Reid
ABSENT: 1 - Stone
Motion defeated.
President Clayton asked if there was any objection from the Board
for having staff develop a resolution to the Governor urging the
creation of a Blue Ribbon Committee to study the issue of handgun
control; there was no objection from the Board. President Clayton
asked that staff have said resolution prepared for the February 4, 1985
Regular Meeting.
Trustee Hartstein asked if the Board members would be receptive
to asking the question as to whether a local ordinance should be
adopted which prohibits the sale, transfer or rental of handguns,
other than by law enforcement officials, in the Village of Buffalo
Grove.
Moved by Marienthal, seconded by Hartstein, to authorize a referendum
question to be worded as follows: "Shall the corporate authorities
of the Village of Buffalo Grove prohibit the sale of handguns and
ammunition for same at a retail level?"
Trustee O'Reilly stated that her concern is that, no matter what
the wording is, it will fall under a big umbrella labelled "gun
control". Trustee O'Reilly does not believe that the Board needs
public input on such an ordinance, she believes the Board can make
that decision itself.
Trustee Glover agrees with Trustee O'Reilly.
Trustee Reid again stated that, even though the wording
ng in a Buffalo
Grove referendum would be different from our neighbors, it would be
looked upon by the voter as the same thing.
Trustee Hartstein believes that the Board needs to know the beliefs
of the voters in order to guide them in making their decisions.
Trustee Marienthal would like to see the Board take the opportunity
to have citizens voice their opinions one way or the other.
Upon roll call, Trustees voted as follows on the motion:
AYES: 2 - Marienthal, Hartstein
NAYES: 3 - O'Reilly, Glover, Reid
ABSENT: 1 - Stone
Motion defeated.

ABSENT: 1 - Stone
Motion declared carried.
Mr. Raysa pointed out the changes which were made to the
proposed ordinance, reviewing his letter to Mr. Balling
of January 21, 1985.
Trustee Marienthal stated again that he does not see how the
Village can govern the private sale of handguns.
Trustee Hartstein asked that there be pollings on Sections
9.90.020, 9.90.030, and 9.90.040.
President Clayton polled the Board: "Yes" indicates favor of
including Section 9.90.020 in the ordinance, with the wording
being changes to include "retail"; "No" indicates opposition:

NO: O'Reilly, Glover, Reid
