Intergovernmental Meetings - Buffalo Grove/Wheeling
President Fabish reviewed his memo dated June 27, 977 1 , and requested that
q
the Board rescind their position of June 8, 1977 in regard to no negotiations
at all with Wheeling about any property located north of Lake-Cook Road. Moved
by Stone, seconded by Bogart to rescind the position taken.
Discussion followed. Trustee Bogart stated that his opinion, reference the
Lake County Sewer Agreement, has not changed. President Fabish stated he is
not asking for a determination at this time, but desires to keep the lines
of communication open with the neighboring village.
In response to a question from Trustee Rech questioning why the Board should
rescind the action that was taken, President Fabish stated he felt it was a
poor position to have taken; that at the last meeting between both boards it
was indicated that further discussion on these matters would take place; and
that the letter sent to the Village of Wheeling from Buffalo Grove was stated
in such a way as there was not room for negotiations of any kind.
Trustee Rech stated she did not feel it was a poor position ; that she felt
it was carefully thought out and stated what the Board's position was; i .e.
that we were willing to sit down and talk with Wheeling regarding the area
south of Lake-Cook Road but that we would not relinquish our sewer agreement
with Lake County. She felt this is the position that was taken and did not
feel this position should be rescinded.
In response to a question from Trustee Bogart , Trustee Rech stated the Board
did not say that they would not sit down and talk with Wheeling, just that
they were going to preserve the sewer agreement, and that the door was never
closed on any negotiations.
Moved by Rech to table consideration of this matter until a full board was
present for discussion. There was no second to the motion.
Trustee Mendenhall stated he felt the Board was wrong in the way the matter
was handled and that this should be corrected. He felt what was done should
be rescinded.
Trustee Rech stated she was willing to meet with Wheeling but felt the position
was made very strong about the sewer agreement with Lake County and that is
what the motion is to rescind.
Mr. Balling stated that two specific positions were taken at that time as
l 1 follows:
1 . That the area north of Lake-Cook Road west of Milwaukee Avenue would
not be a subject of an agenda item between the two communities.
2. That the Lake County Sewer Agreement which the Village has with the
County of Lake is not assignable or negotiable.
These were the items of which Wheeling was apprised of that are the Village's
key positions. The other elements of that letter paved the way for open
communications on all other areas other than Lake County and other than the
sewer agreement.

Trustee Mendenhall stated he is not ready to negotiate any of the Lake County
portion but would be willing to talk with them again.

NAPES: 1 - Rech

Motion declared carried.
Trustee Rech stated she voted "Naye", not because she did not wish to meet
with Wheeling, but because she felt the position taken on July 8 was a very
good, well thought out position and feels it is a logical one.
Trustee Bogart stated it was not his intention to rescindthe Board's position.
Trustee Keister stated that he feels the Lake County Water Agreement is not
negotiable, but avenues of intergovernmental cooperation should be kept open.
In response to President Fabish requesting a meeting date be established,
Trustee Bogart suggested that the two staffs set up a proposed agenda and
then set a meeting date.
In response to a question from Mr. Balling to clarify the point on whether
the Board wishes the sewer agreement to be on or off the agenda, President

sewer agreement, a "No" vote in opposition.
