G 1 40/58
Alderman Dunlap made a'progress report regarding a combined incinerator for
Des Plaines -Park Ridge.
Alderman Dunlap made the following report:
Your Committee on Sanitation has investigated the question of relief from fees
by persons not using city service and has found: that there exists a number
of persons using private scavenger service for reasons of convenience or
health instead of the city supplied curb -service garbage and refuse pickup.
The present ordinance requires all family units.to pay the city fee whether
or not the service is made use of. It appears to your committee that an
attempt to give relief to such persons may now be in order if it can be done with-
out adverse effect on the administration and finances of the Sanitation
Department. We believe that the following proposal will give the desired
relief to those who properly justify relief while assuring the Sanitation
Department that proper disposition has been made of garbage and refuse.
We, your Committee on Sanitation, therefore recommend: That an amendment be
prepared to section 1005.8 of the City Code containing the following;"
Charges described above may be cancelled upon presentation of proof that garbage
and trash removal service has been obtained from a private scavenger company
for the period of the billing. No charges will be cancelled unless a receipted
statement from a duly licensed scavenger company is presented to the City Clerk.
Family units whose billings are cancelled under this provision are; not entitled
to free special pickup service." On motion by Alderman Dunlap and second by
McKay the City attorney was instructed to prepare an amending ordinance.

An item of $35,000.00 was included in the 1958 appropriations for "Repairs to

Public Works be authorized to set up a procedure to stimulate a city-wide
effort to correct the many faulty side -walks which are a threat to the safety
and convenience of pedestrians.
This procedure should include the preparation of specifications, the preperation
of specifications, the taking of bids, the payment to the City in advance by
property owner concerned, of one-half of the cost of his project,final payment
in full by the City to the Contractor after the work has been completed to
the satisfaction of the Supt. of Public Works, and any other details, such
as insurance coverage by Contractor, and.if the size of contract warrants,
completion bond.
In progressing the work, the Supt. is to take into consideration the urgency of
any particular project, and where urgency is not of:the essence, he will
endeavor, so far as is practicable, to schedule the work on a "first come first
served basis."
It is understood, and emphasized, that this plan covers repairs to;, or
replacement of, existing sidewalks only. It is also understood, and should be
made clear to all concerned', that City funds available for this cooperative
effort are limited, and that this "share -the -cost" plan may be withdrawn at

sewer from River Road to First Avenue starting this year, estimated cost

benefits they would receive if the sewer is enlarged, Mr.Dimucci and Mr.Gleich,
subdivision contractors, have agreed to pay the City $30,000.00 and 15,600.00
respectively.
There would still be required $54,400.00 to meet the estimated cost of the

REPORT ON GROUND OBSERVER CORP. OBSERVATION POST. Alderman Martin made the
following report:
Your Committee on Building and Inspection met March 24,•1958
in Council Chambers approximately 15 persons were present objecting to the
erection and operation of the above post. Approximately 15 persons were
present in defense of above. post. The points in confict were.
A.Whether the Building Copal. was in error in issueing a permit for construction.
B. Whether the location is the only and best suited one available.'
Your Committee finds:
1
4/7/561 7
1. While the City ordinance does not specificly provide for erection of
observation posts in residential zones. It can be interpreted to include
Government buildings which provide for the safety and service to residential
area.
2. The present post building has been in operation for 4 yrs. without objection
from the neighbors. The new post building is considered to be an improvement
over the original structure. Due to the use of guided missels, it is
doubt full that the post will be necessary or effective except for a short
time. The Corp. experienced considerable difficulty in securing the present
locatioa 4 yrs. ago as testified by Mr. Vince Ralph, Director of Civil
Defense. The elevation of the post was considered necessary for proper
visability and audiobility. To move the post to a new area would seriously
effect the availability of volunteers as testified by Mrs. Torbert,Head of the
Vol. group.
Your Committee recommends: Work be allowed to proceed and certificate of
occupancy be issued when completed. When the post is no longer needed the
City will effect its immediate removal.

PLAN COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION. The Clerk read the following recommendation:
The Des Plaines Plan Commission has considered the question of where the
northerly and easterly boundaries of the City of Des Plaines should ultimately
fall. We feel that these limits should be defined for the following reasons:
1. To aid our City Officials, public utility engineers, and
authorities in their planning for the extension of municipal
these environs.
school and park
services into
2. To straighten and align the Municipal Limits with recognized topographical
political and land use boundaries; and to eliminate small isolated tracts of
unincorporated land which are difficult to service and control by other
governmental bodies.
3. To clarify the future expension plans of the City of Des Plaines so
that landowners, subdividers, neighboring municipalities, and other government
agencies can foresee and expect where they will come into the jurisdiction
or into contact with the City of Des Plaines.
The Plan Commission consulted with our City Engineer, with the members of the
Special Committee on Municipal Limits, and with other interested parties during
our considerations on this matter. The following factors were discussed'and
evaluated in our study: Our present city boundaries and the reasons for their
location; the reasonable extension of our sewer and water services; the
effective operation radius of the Des Plaines and Fire Departments, emergency,
sanitation, street cleaning, and civil defense facilities; the logical service
area of the Des Plaines Library, Park District, and School facilities; the
commercial and expension of our neighboring communities. Based on these
considerations the Plan Commission recommends that, for current planning
purposes, the ultimate easterly and northerly limits of the City of Des
Plaines shall be,as,follows: .
Beginning at the present municipal boundary line at the corner of Des Plaines
River Road and Devon Avenue, thence East on'Devon Avenue to the center of the
Des Plaines River chanel, thence North along said channel toits intersection
with the.Westerly right-of-way line of the Illinois Tri -States Tollway
(approximately at Howard Street), thence North along said right-of-way line
to the Park Ridge City Limits at Busse Highway, thence Northwest to the
present Des Plaines boundary and continuing around the Forest Preserve
tract and the.so-called Prassas Shopping Center property to the point where
the centerline of Rand Road intersects the West line of Section 22, thence
North to the South boundary of Mayfield Estates, and thence ��F.st along the
South boundary of Mayfield Estates eto , the, oenter`line 'of .Plottil r `Road, thence.

4/7/1
Plan Commission Letter continued:
North along Potter Road and Potter ,Road extended to the centerline of Central
Road , and thence West to the present Des Plaines City Limits at approximately
800 Central Road.
Your Plan Commission also recommends that immediate steps be taken to arrange far
the annexation of all Forest Preserve District of Cook County lands and all
Catholic Bishop of Chicago property which lies within the aforesaid future
boundaries. This measure will expedite the future annexation of other
property contiguous to these lands.
The Plan Commission is also undertaking a study of our westerly and southern
borders and will submit a report on this subject at a future,date. Adetermined
effort will be made to ascertain the City of Chicago's plans for the development
and expeansion of O'Hare Field.
