today's Herald regarding the Village and school officials; she
thinks that it is somewhat misleading in suggesting that Trustees
are collectively urging the school districts to consolidate.

this is not something which was ever formally discussed by this
Board. Mr. Balling stated that he would do same.

2/6/84
Commission to the Village of Buffalo Grove for an electrical
permit involving the installation of electrical service for the
underground metering vaults at each of the four connection points.
Permits have been properly filed with the Department of Building
and Zoning, and the practice of the Commission communities has
been to waive fees in connection with Commission activities in the
communities. Moved by O'Reilly, seconded by Hartstein, to waive
the fees in the amount of $372.00 for the Northwest Water Commission.
Upon roll call, Trustees voted as follows:
AYES: 5 - Marienthal, Stone, O'Reilly, Hartstein, Glover

ABSENT: 1 - Reid
Motion declared carried.
Mr. Balling reviewed the request from School District 21 and KILMER SCHOOL
Kilmer School to move the "No Parking" signs from the east side PARKING
of Golfview Terrace to the west side of Golfview Terrace;
documents regarding this situation are on file in the Clerk's
office. The Engineering Department has reviewed this situation
and does not recommend favorable consideration of the change at
this time. Chief McCann recommends enlarging the on-site parking
at Kilmer School. Mr. Balling stated that the residents and the
Park District have not been contacted at this point.
Mr. Richard Boos, Principal at Kilmer School, and Mr. Bill Senne,
District 21, reviewed the situation for the Board, stating that
there is a 7-10 minute period from approximately 3:30-3:40 each
afternoon when the safety of the students is in jeopardy because
they are crossing the street in order to be picked up by parents;
Mr. Senne presented the proposed plan to the Board. After dis-
"ussion, it was the consensus of the Board that the proposed plan
is a short-term solution, and that a long-term solution should be
sought. It was suggested that staff get together with District 21
and try and work out a long-range solution, since any short-term
solution will merely create other problems. Mr. Balling stated
that he will contact the school district right away.
Mr. Brimm reviewed his memo to Mr. Balling of January 19, 1984 TAXPAYER RELIEF
regarding the Taxpayer Relief Advisory Referendum. ADVISORY

shown as 51' , and Mr. Freedman has authorized staff to correct the
typographical error in the actual signed Agreement to make it reflect
51' .
. . .in the attachment, there is an erroneous reference to a 12"
watermain, which should be a 16" watermain, and they have
corrected that in ink.

approval of the concept plan. President Clayton asked if there were
any questions or comments from any other agencies, governmental units,
school districts or park districts; there were none. Trustee Stone
commented on the Plan Commission recommendation.
A resident of the Pekara Subdivision asked to see a copy of the plan,
and asked about the water retention for the parking lots; Mr. Nelson
explained same for the gentleman. Mr. Dan Mordini presented some
photographs to the Board which show the extent of the flooding which
now exists in the Pekara Subdivision. In answer to a question from
