Trustee O'Reilly explained the reasons that she requested PROPOSED SNOW
that this proposed ordinance be deferred ; she also stated REMOVAL
that, since she knew that this would be deferred , she so ORDINANCE
informed many people that had called her in support of the
ordinance. Trustee Stone stated that he still cannot vote
for this ordinance. Trustee Gerschefske agrees with Trustee
Stone, and stated that the Village should publicize and promote
voluntary snow removal on sidewalks. Trustee Hartstein stated
that this is a legitimate concern , but does not think that it is
possible to put in the form of an ordinance. Trustee Marienthal
agreed with many things stated by Trustee Hartstein, and also
thinks that residents should voluntarily shovel their sidewalks.
Mr. Khalid Cosmo, 325 Checker Drive, questioned the liability
of a homeowner if he or she shovels the sidewalk; Mr. Raysa
answered Mr. Cosmo's question. Mr. Dave Schuman, 885 Knollwood ,
stated that he likes the concept, but does not think the ordinance
is workable; he said that the problem of drifting snow, and
children throwing snow back onto the sidewalk would make it
impossible to enforce. Mr. Andy Foss , 160 Weidner, stated that
he thinks the Village should plow the sidewalks because it is
their property. Mr. Harold Schweinebraten, Timberhill Road,
stated that he has sidewalk along Lake-Cook Road, which gets
snow thrown upon it from the plows, and also gets blown from
the surrounding fields.
There was then discussion as to whether or not this proposed
ordinance should be redrafted, since there does not seem to be
enough Board support to pass same. President Clayton polled
the Board : "Yes" indicates favor of redrafting this ordinance;
"No" indicates opposition :
YES: Marienthal*, O' Reilly, Hartstein, President Clayton-
NO: Stone, Gerschefske, Schwartz
'These people voted in favor only in order to receive input from
those residents who were told that the ordinance would not be
acted upon this evening.
The ordinance will be on the agenda on August 2, 1982.
Mr. Raysa commented on the proposed ordinance regarding nature NATURE
preserves. It was recommended that the Wynnedale parcel not be PRESERVES

a parcel of land as a nature preserve.

cost of this system. Trustee Hartstein stated that he does not
