V. Krnac Village Clerk, gave the oath of office to Joseph Jania.
J. West reported on the Dog Pound fee collections, Village/Township. Board had
directed him to work with Marilyn Gehrke. to determine how much money the Village
owes the Township. After reviewing the bills, they found $14.00 outstanding but
were unable to prove if they~had been paid. After having a meeting with Marilyn
Gehrke and James Wrath the outcome was -- the Township would absorb the $14.00 if
the Village would continue to collect the dog pound fees with a receipt in
duplicate. When the owner of an animal pays their fine, we will give them a
receipt, the Village will keep a copy in the office. the owner gives his receipt
to the Dog Wardon to claim his animal. Once a month the Township collects from the
Clerk's Office by matching their receipts. D. Lambert suggested that the fees be
collected only in the Clerk's Office, not by the dispatchers, for security reasons.
This was agreed upon by all Board Members.

G'+.Ansley suggested there should be one copy available for review and a note left
in each Board Members box stating the availability.
L. Robinson read a report from the Plan Commission on Boundry Agreement with Naperville.
The Plan Commission feels this is a goad time (with not much building going on) to
sit down with Naperville and work out an agreement. Their question to the Board, are
you interested in getting the engineers involved at this time. The Plan Commission
would like to know haw deep they should get into this, how does the Board want to handle
a Boundry Agreement with Naperville? Mayor Selfridge reminded the Board, we didn't
use the engineers when we made the Boundry Agreement with Shorewood, we had the Attorneys
work up the Agreement. We could set up a Committee for our Village and Mayor Rybicki
could set up a Committee for Paperville and the two Committees could work it out and
return to their respective Boards with recommendations.
C. Smith asked how far north can we service with water and sewer today. L. Robinson
answered 127 Street that's our Facility Plan. G. Ansley suggested the Village meet
with Naperville to see what their ideas are, then we will have some guide lines to
determine if we would Like to pursue a Boundry Agreement. After more discussion the
Mayor suggested L. Robinson go back to the Plan Commission and ask them for some guide
lines, but the Village does not want to survey all of Wheatland Township.
I,. Robinson Facility Plan Report - We had a Study Session on Facility Plan. Now it
has to be a Board decision. We can amend the plan to revise the population, then the
calculations would have to be revised. We have a figure from the engineers of
$6400.00 for a revision. We don't know if we have to have another Public Hearing if
the plan is revised. The reviewing is Grant eligible we would have to pay ~ of the cost.
If the Board drops the Facility Plan on our Sewage Treatment Plant :tY~e repairs that
would have been taken care of with the Facility Plan Project will have to be lane
within next two years. These repairs are:
2 - 750,000 gallon per minute pumps
1 - Flow meter at Sewer Plant -- must be replaced (not repairable)
Sludge disposal ~ we will have to apply for a permit.
Will need- 2 to 4 additional sludge beds,
Add pre-chlorination in grid chamber.
Rehabilitation of the pond.
G. Ansley made a motion to approve the Facility Plan based an a projected population
of 15,000, and take it to the vote of the people as a referendum on the April election.
