approving a planned development with a special use as regards the

10. APPROVAL OF PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS IN ARLINGTON HILLS AND
STRATHMORE UNITS ONE, TWO AND THREE (Doc. #68-40)
President Thompson stated that letters have been received from John
Hooper, the Village Engineer, recommending approval of certain public
improvements in Arlington Hills, Arlington Hills 1st Addition, and
Strathmore Units 1, 2 and 3.
William Bannister stated that he would like to suggest that the Board
defer action on these letters as there is a lot of work still to be
done.
Mr. Ray DeVito of Clearbrook Plumbing, who has been installing the
sewers in the areas mentioned above, stated that adjustments have not
been made on the man holes as they were waiting for the final grading
to be done. Discussion followed.
President Thompson stated that he would like to draw the Board' s
attention to the report (Doc. #68-41) received from Trustee Felten.
Trustee Felten made a spot check of the area and found many things
still to be done. Discussion followed on the Letters of Credit
1398
10/14/68
received from Levitt & Sons.
Mr. Wolff of Levitt & Sons stated that Letters of Credit do not
separate Public Improvements but are a guarantee of all the im-
provements. He further stated that Levitt & Sons are asking for
the release of the remaining money for Unit One which would still
leave about $60,000.00 to draw upon in the event the improvements
are not done. President Thompson stated that the letter from
John Hooper re Unit One stated that all the final improvements
are in and ready. The President stated he would like to put this
on the table until the Village Engineer is present.
Trustee Wilhelm stated that Mr. DeVito is trying to get money that
is rightfully due him and he feels that the Board should find out
what a reasonable holdback would be and approve the remaining sum.
John Hooper arrived and the President filled him in on what had
preceded his arrival. The President stated that Mr. DeVito wants
some of his money but that spot checks made by William Bannister
and Trustee Felten revealed several instances where sewers are in
bad condition, low, covered by sidewalks and covered by dirt. The
President stated that Mr. Hooper' s letter as regards Strathmore
Unit One recommends release of funds for all public improvements and
yet we don' t have trees, street signs, street lights and the final
topping on all the streets. Mr. Hooper stated that improvements
for this area is covered under two bonds and that ordinarily bonding
is not received for trees, signs or lighting. Trustee Felten
stated that Mr. Hooper' s letter refers to the Subdivision Regulations
Ordinance and doesn' t this cover all public improvements covered in
the ordinance. Discussion followed.
Trustee Gleeson stated that in order that Mr. DeVito not be held up
until the regular Board meeting, he would move that the Board approve
these improvements subject to the Village Manager and Village Engineer
being satisfied with the actual conditions being acceptable or letters
of intent from whomever the involved parties are, to correct this work
and that the Board give the Village Manager the okay to release the
funds when he is satisfied. Trustee Lewis seconded the motion.
Trustee Wilhelm stated that he would prefer to see a motion to
approve approximately $37,000.00 and that the arguable sum be with-
held until the Village Manager is satisfied that the problems have
been resolved; otherwise, the motion as stated, with the approval
contingent upon the Village Manager, will not help Mr. DeVito.
Trustee Gleeson stated that he would agree with Trustee Wilhelm except
that the Letters of Credit the Board would be releasing affects more
than Mr. DeVito' s work. Discussion followed.
1399
10/14/68
Trustee Gleeson stated that he would like to show the intent of his
motion and that is to turn the matter over to the Village Manager
and Village Engineer to break it down into its ' component parts,
determine what is acceptable and what is not and release the acceptable
portion and report back to the Board.
Upon roll call, the vote was as follows:
Li
AYES: Trustees Huxhold, Wilhelm, Lewis, Gleeson, Thorud
NAYS: Trustee Felten
The motion carried.
11. APPROVAL OF STREET SURFACING IN UNIT VI'°
President Thompson stated that a letter has been received from
Engineer Hooper recommending that approval be granted for street
surfacing in Unit VI. The President went on to say that it appears
that work is not completed in this area either and that the necessary
monies should be held until such time as the work is completed. Dis-
cussion followed.
Trustee Gleeson moved that this matter be tabled until the Board can
determine what has been done and what hasn' t been done. Trustee
Huxhold seconded the motion. Manager Bannister stated that he would
like to ask for the same motion as was given on the approval for
Arlington Hills and Strathmore Units 1, 2 and 3. Trustee Gleeson
then withdrew his motion and Trustee Huxhold his second.
Trustee Felten moved that the Board table this matter. There was
no second and the President declared that with no second there is
no motion.
Trustee Gleeson moved that approval of the street surface in Unit VI
be granted subject to the Village Manager and Village Engineer being
satisfied that the work is completed and that the Board give the
Village Manager the okay to release the funds when he is satisfied.
Trustee Wilhelm seconded the motion.
Trustee Felten stated that he doesn' t think the Board should give
two men the power to release escrow funds as he feels it is the
responsibility of the Board to do this and we shouldn' t operate that
way.
Upon roll call, the vote was as follows:
1400
10/14/68

and financial commitments. President Thompson stated that he feels

NEW BUSINESS
17. SIDEWALK REPAIR
Manager Bannister reported that no bids had been received on the
repair of sidewalks. Trustee Wilhelm stated that the work on the
sidewalks should be done and that if need be, the work should be
authorized on a square foot basis. Mr. Bannister stated that he
intended to get the sidewalks fixed right away.
18. FISCAL CONSULTANT
President Thompson stated that since the Village has negotiated a
price and agreements for the sale of the Buffalo Utility Company,
this Board, our Finance Director, Mr. Gleeson and your President
have been in numerous meetings with Bonding Companies for the
necessary bonding for the system and additional work that needs to
be done. The President stated that we are dealing with a very large
amount of money. The President stated that the time most of the people
in this Village have to devote to the Village is limited by the
necessity of supporting their families and that under the circumstances,
he, Trustee Gleeson, Mr. Raysa and Mr. Bannister have met with Mr.
Benjamin of Benjamin & Lang to discuss what would be required to
retain the services of Benjamin & Lang for the purposes of helping
the Board control the finances of the Village. The President stated
that Mr. Benjamin is present at the meeting and he would like to
have him present himself to the Board with the specifications, and
they are verbal as his time has been limited.
Mr. Benjamin presented himself before the Board. Mr. Benjamin stated
that his firm would act as consultants to the Village of Buffalo
Grove on a broader basis than merely the issuance of bonds which
has been their experience heretofore. He stated that they would be
available on all matters involving finance and on a continuing basis
and would be more familiar on a day-to-day basis. They would not
do the accounting or billing. They would advise the Board as to the
methods available in each of those categories. Their presence would
be desirable at at least one meeting a month and they suggest a fee
for their services in that area to be $250.00 a month; to attend the
meeting and prepare for that meeting.
1402
10/14/68
Mr. Benjamin stated that with regards to being called upon or meeting
outside of regular meetings, they would charge $35.00 per hour and this
would be in a test period so that determination can be made if too
much time is being spent with regards to ability to pay.
With regards to the issuance of bonds as they come up from time to
time, Mr. Benjamin stated that if the bonds were a negotiated sale,
they would charge the rate of $2.00 a thousand for the first one
million dollars and $1. 50 per thousand for any amount over one
million dollars with a minimum charge of $500.00 on any one bond
issue. The Public Sale charge would be $4. 00 a thousand for the
first one million dollars with $3.00 a thousand for anything over
one million dollars. He stated that Benjamin & Lang would act as
consultants, not bid or trade in the bonds. Their interest would
be strictly on the Village side.
Mr. Benjamin stated that this would require a test period to see
that we are mutually satisifed so that neither party would feel
they are unfairly treated. There should be a test period of six
months and then review it and either drop or carry on. Mr.
Benjamin stated that time spent on bonds would not be charged on
an hourly basis.
President Thompson stated that at the outset there would be a
tremendous amount of time involved but that should grow smaller
as time went on. The President stated that one meeting a month
was arbitrarily set up. He further stated that since we are drawing
to a close with the Buffalo Utility Company it would not be the
proper thing to only depend upon Mr. Raysa, Mr. Gleeson or Mr.
Hooper for we are protecting the money of the citizens of Buffalo
Grove. Discussion followed.
Trustee Felten asked if Trustee Gleeson or the President had checked
with any other firms and Trustee Gleeson replied that they had.
Trustee Wilhelm stated that he would like to see a report from
the Finance Committee as to whether the Board should hire the ser-
vices of a consultant as was recommended. Trustee Gleeson stated
that he has discussed the matter of hiring a consultant with his
committee and their feelings are pretty much in line with his own.
The opinion is that even though some of the gentlemen on the
committee are in the investment or banking fields, they are not
necessarily experienced in municipal activities. The Committee
feels the Board should be involved with a company that is experienced
in the municipal field. Trustee Gleeson went on to say that he
doesn' t know if this relationship will last one year or ten years
and that he has talked with Mr. Dreher and Mr. Weiskopf about the
hiring of a consultant and they feel it is very advisable to do so.
1403
10/14/68
Trustee Lewis asked the Attorney if this was common practice in most
communities. Attorney Raysa stated that with regards to bond issues
this is not an uncommon practice; but from the standpoint of extra-
curricular activities he doesn' t know truthfully if it is common
practice. The Attorney doesn' t see anything wrong with it.
The President stated that he would strongly recommend that the Board
retain the firm of Benjamin & Lang on a temporary basis as Mr.
Benjamin himself indicated, until we are able to see how much ser-
vice would be needed, on the basis of $250.00 per month and the
bond issue prices as established.
Trustee Gleeson moved that the Board retain the firm of Benjamin &
Lang as financial consultants to the Village as to the schedule of
fees as set down by Mr. Benjamin and which will be confirmed in a
letter. Trustee Lewis seconded the motion. Upon roll call, the
vote was as follows:
AYES: Trustee Huxhold, Wilhelm, Lewis, Gleeson, Thorud
NAYS: Trustee Felten
The motion carried.
19. PURCHASE OF THE BUFFALO UTILITY COMPANY
The President stated that proposals have been made and contracts
negotiated for the sale of the Buffalo Utility Company to the
Village of Buffalo. The President stated that funds would be needed
to purchase the Utility Company, buy back the outstanding bonds
which are on immediate recall for the waterworks and sewerage de-
partment of the Village and rebuild certain areas which are now
serviced by the Utility Company. Therefore, the Village Engineer,
Trustee Gleeson and the President have been working on an agreement
for the purchase and sale of $4,000,000.00 worth of revenue bonds
under which there is no tax structure to the citizens of the Village,
with an additional $2, 000,000.00 should cause be shown. This would
allow the Village to meet any unforeseen requirements that might not
be seen at this time. President Thompson then went into the negotiated
deal with the Buffalo Utility Company as was previously discussed.
The President stated that over the past four or five weeks, Mr. Raysa,
Mr. Bannister, Trustee Gleeson and the President have discussed the
possibility of obtaining this bonding with various first class bonding
companies in the area including the firm of Benjamin & Lang and have
heard many proposals, agreements and committments relative to the
ability to bond to this extent. The President stated that Mr. Brogan
of Northern Securities is present at the meeting and he would like
1404
10/14/68
Mr. Brogan to present himself before the Board.
Mr. Brogan stated that he has had quite a bit of discussion on the
matter of the bonding and now understands that the Buffalo Utility
Company will not be in the position to transfer ownership until the
first of the year. He further stated that they are prepared to bid
on the $4, 000,000.00 water and sewer revenue bonds and are prepared
to enumerate the obligations they will meet and he wants to know if
the Board is ready to consider a bid. President Thompson stated
that he would poll the Board on the question: whether this Board would
consider the bid or discussion of a negotiated contract with Julien
Collins Company. The Clerk called the roll and each member of the
Board indicated their willingness to consider a bid.
The Clerk was asked to make copies of the proposal so that the
members of the Board and the Attorney would be able to read the
proposal as it was being read aloud.
Mr. Brogan asked Mr. Carpenter, another representative of Julien
Collins Company, to read the proposed contract. After the contract
was read, discussion followed. The interest rate on the proposal
was not disclosed. Mr. Carpenter stated that the survey to be
done by Duff & Phelps as stated under paragraph "g" could be re-
ceived by November llth or the 18th at the latest.
Attorney Raysa stated that under paragraph "a" that the proposed
maturities and coupons are acceptable by the Board and that he would
like to see something that says the discount will not exceed a cer-
tain percentage. Mr. Carpenter offered a not to exceed discount of
5% and Mr. Benjamin explained the discount and stated that 5% was
not acceptable but a 21 % not to exceed discount would be. The
representatives of Julien Collins Company left the meeting hall
to discuss a possible discount offer.
20. CUMBERLAND PLAT PRESENTED BY HAROLD FRIEDMAN,
President Thompson stated a revised plat for the Cumberland area
has been received from Harold Friedman. Trustee Felten moved that
the plat for Cumberland be referred to the Plan Commission. Trustee
Huxhold seconded the motion and it carried unanimously.
21. BUFFALO GROVE BANK PRELIMINARY LAND PLAN
President Thompson stated that the preliminary land plan for the
Buffalo Grove Bank has been received. Trustee Felten moved that the
1405
10/14/68
land plan for the Buffalo Grove Bank be referred to the Plan Commission.
Trustee Gleeson seconded the motion. The Village Manager was
directed to write a letter to the principals of the bank notifying
them that as previously agreed upon, approval will be granted con-
tingent upon receipt of the $500.00 donation to the Fire Department.
A vote was taken and the motion carried unanimously.
22. PUBLIC LAND DEDICATION
President Thompson stated that a deed has been received for lots
A & B in Unit 4 of Strathmore including Well Site #2. This is for
information and it is necessary that it be recorded and forwarded
to the Village Attorney to do so.
23. CHILDRENS BENEFIT LEAGUE
President Thompson stated that a letter has been received from the
Childrens Benefit League in which they request permission to hold
a Tag Day on April 18, 1969. Trustee Wilhelm moved that the Clerk
be directed to send the usual request for information and once it is
received, grant permission and waive the fee. Trustee Huxhold
seconded the motion and it carried unanimously.
24. LIONS CLUB CANDY DAY
President Thompson stated that for the information of the Board
he granted permission for the Lions Club to sell candy for the Blind.
He also requested that the Village Manager write a letter to the Lions
Club asking that in the future they notify us in advance of their
wishes so their request can move through the usual channels.
25. PURCHASE OF BUFFALO UTILITY AND SALE OF BONDS
Mr. Carpenter and the other representatives of Julien Collins &
Company returned to the meeting. Mr. Carpenter stated that some
figure between 21 % and 5% would be their talking stage as they will
incur many expenses as outlined in their proposal and are already
talking thin finances. Mr. Benjamin stated that he appreciates
Mr. Carpenter' s expanation but will still hold to the 21/2% discount
figure. Mr. Carpenter stated that Julien Collins & Company would
not be able to submit a contract at that discount rate and would
like to propose that they guarantee a discount not to exceed 4%.
President Thompson stated that when four million dollars worth
of bonds are sold at a discount the Village will not receive four
million dollars but will receive four million dollars less $10. 00
per thousand per point or $160, 000.00 less at the 4% rate. Dis-
cussion followed.
1406
10/14/68
The proposal was discussed thoroughly and the following additions
or changes made:
Page 1, line 15: In the event the above described bonds are not
delivered to us by January 31, 1969, this contract shall be subject
to cancellation by either party upon the written notice to the
other.
Li
Page 1, line 20: Bear semi-annual interest coupons of our designation
and agreeable to the Village. The interest payable on each bond on
any one date shall be evidenced by a single coupon. Discount, if any,
shall not exceed 4% of par value of bonds issued.
Page 2, Paragraph a: Prepare and submit to you no later than
October 21, 1968, schedules showing proposed maturities and coupons.
Page 2, Paragraph G: We agree to employ Duff & Phelps, a nationally
recognized financial engineering consultant, or a firm of similar
reputation, to make a financial survey and report of the entire
project. Our agreement to purchase the bonds is subject to the
report showing the project is financially feasible. This report
is to be submitted to you on or before November 18, 1968.
The President asked the Board if there was anything else in the
proposal that they would like to pin down and then asked the Attorney
if this was as firm a committment as the Board can get out of a
bonding company. The Attorney replied that he believes it is.
President Thompson then stated that Mr. Paul Daniels of John Nuveen
& Company is also present in the audience. The President asked
Mr. Carpenter if they would have any objections to the Board hearing
from Mr. Daniels.
Mr. Daniels stated that he had understood that the Board would be
accepting proposals that did not list a net interest cost and that
he had pointed out to Trustee Gleeson that his proposal was just
a proposal of services and would like to present it as it stands.
Mr. Carpenter stated that he feels that since his firm has made a
Li bonafide offer that the Board should consider it.
President Thompson stated that he would poll the Board as to whether
they wished to hear from Mr. Daniels or consider the proposal of
Julien Collins & Company. The Clerk called the roll:
Trustees Huxhold, Wilhelm, Gleeson voted to hear from Mr. Daniels.
Trustees Lewis, Felten, Thorud voted that they did not want to hear
Mr. Daniels ' proposal. This left a tied Board with the President
1407
10/14/68
to vote on the tie.
The President stated that unless Mr. Daniels can give the Board more
than is what is on his proposal, and he had an advantage over the
Board as he had an outline of Mr. Daniels list of services, he
would vote not to hear Mr. Daniels proposal.
Trustee Gleeson then moved that the Board enter into the agreement
with Julien Collins & Company. Trustee Thorud seconded the motion
and upon roll call, the vote was as follows:
AYES: Trustees Huxhold, Lewis, Felten, Gleeson, Thorud
NAYS: Trustee Wilhelm
