Trustee Liaison appointments until the next meeting, as LIAISON
there are some minor changes to be made in same. APPOINTMENTS

staff, a member of the Youth Commission, and a member of
the Jaycees. The goal would be to transfer the Youth

programming, and other aspects unique to the Youth Commission.

Trustee Stone announced that there will be a Cable TV meeting CABLE TV
with Warner-Amex in Rolling Meadows on May 9, 1981 at 9:00
A.M.
Trustee Marienthal informed the Board that the Plan Commission TOWN CENTER
is working on a retooling of the Town Center Plan. He said
that, if an additional Public Hearing is necessary, it would
be held the last week in May , thereby allowing the Board to
set its Public Hearing for the first week in June. Trustee
�•/ Hartstein stated that he is not sure which direction the plan
is going; he thinks there should be a workshop so that the Board
and the Plan Commission are on the same "wavelength". Mr.
Hartstein' s concerns are: this plan has a major thoroughfare
cutting through the Center; the new plan is not unique because
it makes the Jewel food store the focal point of the Center;
one major entrance has a "backdoor" effect.
Plan Commissioner Goldspiel explained to the Board how the
Commission arrived at the point where they now stand with
the plan . Mr. Goldspiel suggested that the Board allow the
work to go forward on this particular proposal , and let the
Plan Commission come up with a plan which will meet the criteria
for the Town Center. Discussion then took place regarding the
last Plan Commission meeting. Regarding the Plan which was
distributed to the Board tonight, Mr. Goldspiel stated that
the Plan Commission has not seen that plan; his understanding
is that they are to react to it in an informal manner, thereby
determining whether or not it is worth pursuing the plan
formally; he thinks it has a chance of making progress . Mr.
Goldspiel stated that the plan is the result of an informal
discussion between the Village Planner, the developer, and
Commissioners, which took place after the meeting had adjourned.
President Clayton stated the events which had taken place as
they had been explained to her the day following the Plan
Commission meeting.

of having a workshop with the Plan Commission on the new plan;
"No" indicates opposition :
