submitted be accepted. Mr. Ron Norene stated that the Village

Trustee O' Reilly referred to page 16 of this Ordinance, pointing
out that it does not restrict the use of interest on these funds
to strictly water purposes. Mrs . O' Reilly would like to see some-
thing drafted to state that the policy of this Board would be that
this money earned on interest would be used totally in water
related expenditures. Trustee O'Reilly stated that she would
prefer to have this policy as part of the Ordinance, but since
6010
3/15/82
that is not practical at this time, she would like to see some
type of resolution or agreement to that effect . Discussion on
this point followed.

Ordinance #82-11 :
AYES: 6 - Marienthal , Stone, O' Reilly, Hartstein, Gerschefske,
Schwartz
NAYES : 0 - None
Motion declared carried.
Mr. Balling identified the three possible solutions that could
be used to implement Trustee O' Reilly 's suggestion :
1 . A specific resolution to be considered as a statement of
policy to the Board that the interest earnings be used for
water.
2. The budget is approved annually through a resolution, and
this policy could be incorporated into that resolution, or a
separate resolution considered on the same date.
3. Back it up with a specific appropriation when the Board
considers the appropriation ordinance.
Mr. Raysa stated that the proposed would be a policy resolution,
and could not bind a future Board. His suggestion is that there
be a written resolution, as well as reference in the minutes,
that this Board does not want the interest used for anything
else but water.
Moved by O' Reilly, seconded by Stone, to direct staff to formulate
such a resolution.
Trustee Hartstein , voiced his reasons for opposing such a resolution.

Trustee Hartstein commented on the status of the Town Center. TOWN CENTER
Mr. Truesdell reviewed the concept of the Village Green. Lengthy
discussion took place by the Board, staff, and members of the BDDC
and Plan Commission regarding the extension of Church Road, the
Village Green, various methods of financing, the traffic flow, and
the basic concept of the Town Center. In summary, President Clayton
stated that there does seem to be Board consensus that Church Road
should not be extended, but there does not seem to be Board
consensus on the Village Green. Therefore, President Clayton
proposed a committee consisting of the Trustee liaison to the
BDDC (Trustee Hartstein) , the Trustee liaison to the Plan Commission
(Trustee Marienthal ) , and the Intergovernmental Trustee (Trustee
Stone) , who would meet with the Village Planner (James Truesdell ) ,
and the Park District, and the Historical District, and come up with
a plan or concept which can reasonably be considered. President
Clayton stated that if there is no objection from the Board, she
would appoint the above mentioned committee. There was no objection.
President Clayton asked that this committee report back to the full
Board within one month. Mr. Balling stated that there would be no
immediate problems caused for the Callaghan parcel by Board failure
to act on the Village Green financing concept tonight.
