budget amounts. Trustee Shirley explained that the Village
is not authorized to spend funds unless they have been

Public Works Vehicles
Mr. Larson stated that bids were solicited and opened on
July 2 , for two half-ton trucks and alternate bids for two
three-quarter ton trucks . He stated that because this is
near the end of the 1973 season, dealers have not received
recommended prices from the manufacturer; therefore, only
one dealer submitted a bid. The bid received was from
Lattof Motor Sales of Arlington Heights and was in the amount
of $2 ,964 . 50 each for the half-ton trucks and $3, 226 . 37 each
for the three-quarter ton trucks , subject to increase not to
exceed 3%, if General Motors has an increase.
In view of the minimal price difference between the half-ton
and three-quarter ton trucks , Trustee Shirley moved the
Village accept the bid of Lattof Motor Sales for two three-
quarter ton trucks at $3, 226 . 37 each, subject to a possible
price increase not to exceed 3%. Trustee Mahoney seconded
the motion, and a roll call vote found the following:
AYES : Trustees Shirley, Rathjen, Mahoney, Rech, Driscoll

7/9/73
In response to a question from Trustee Shirley, Mr. Larson
stated that John Guillou of the State Division of Waterways
advised that they are in the process of releasing $80,000
to the Village for this project, that the General Assembly
has approved an additional $25 , 000 , and the Metropolitan
Sanitary District has committed themselves to $120, 000 ,
which leaves the project $25, 000 light, considering the
Engineer' s estimate. He suggested using Motor Fuel Tax
funds or requesting M.S .D. to increase their participation
to make up the difference. He recommended bids be solicited
but no contract awarded until sufficient money is obtained.
He felt the bids possibly will be a lesser amount than
estimated. A roll call vote found the following:
AYES : Trustees Shirley, Rathjen, Mahoney, Rech, Driscoll
NAYES : None
ABSENT: Trustee Osmon
The motion carried.
There being no further business to discuss, Trustee Driscoll
moved the meeting adjourn to workshop. Trustee Mahoney
seconded the motion, and upon a voice vote, the motion passed
unanimously.
Time: 8 : 37 P.M.
