Mr. Dick Ahlman, 314 Columbia Avenue, addressed the City
Council stating that he is here representing the
Cumberland Terrace Civic Club and the Northshire Civic
Club to present petitions (with pictures) to the City
Council asking that they urge Illinois Department of
Transportation ( IDOT) to convert the median strip on Golf
Road (Route 58) between Wolf Road and Mt. Prospect Road
from concrete to green space, i.e. grass, trees or
plantings; this is a major thoroughfare; it should be
beautified like what is being done in other parts of the
City.
Alderman Smith stated his strong support of this request.
Alderman Sayad concurred with Alderman Smith.
Mr. Ted Sherwood, 675 Pearson Street, addressed the City
Council concerning his request made several months ago
at a City Council meeting that notification be given when
there was going to be discussion regarding salary

Mayor Jung stated he would do so in the future.
Mrs. Charles G. Frisbie, 1641 Thacker Street, addressed
the City Council stating that she was delighted that the
alley behind Kunkel Realty has been named after Ralph

Mrs. Irene Serwa, 1011 Crab Tree Lane, addressed the City
Council commending the City, Maine Township and State
Representative Rosemary Mulligan for their efforts to get
$1.2 million to clean up Prairie-Farmers Creek; she is
concerned because she heard the money will be used for
concrete box culverts. Mayor Jung assured Mrs. Serwa
that the money will not be used for just culverts, only
a small portion, if any.

Mr. Vince Powers, 862 Webster Lane, addressed the City
Council regarding their recent decision to receive
revenue from the Calumet City Casino; this ~s morally

Riverdale, Palos Heights; the City should investigate
this.

MAYOR JUNG DECLARED THAT THE CITY COUNCIL WAS NOW
RESOLVED INTO A COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE
PUBLIC WORKS Alderman Smith, Chair
Director of Public Works Killian reviewed his memo of
August 24, 1999, which states that the City's existing
contract with Waste Management, Inc., for waste hauling
services is scheduled to expire on March 30, 2000; this
was a three (3) year contract with two (2) one year
extensions. Mr. Killian is recommending that the City
go out for bids on a new waste hauling contract, and
presented three (3) options for levels of service that
could be included in the bid specifications.
A general discussion on these options followed.
Alderman Beauvais asked if multi-family residences could
be included; there are too many different garbage
companies picking up garbage.
Alderman Sayad agreed with Alderman Beauvais and also
stated that he would like the contract to include that
the garbage company would repair any damage to City
streets caused by their trucks; pickup in the downtown
area is not sufficient.
Alderman Brookman stated that she agrees with the Staff
recommendation that the City go out for bids.
Alderman Christiansen stated that the two (2) main
problems are damage to City streets and the cleanliness
of the garbage pickup.
Alderman Sayad stated that the contract should also
include how long it will take to solve a problem.
Following further discussion, Director Killian stated
that he would prepare bid specifications incorporating
the suggestions of the aldermen.
FINANCE &: ADMINISTRATION -Alderman Christiansen, Chair
Moved by Brookman, seconded by Sayad, to concur with
Staff recommendation and recommend to the City Council
approval of September 7, 1999 -Warrant Register in the
amount of $3,355,676.54, which includes $567.80 in
expenditures to Home Depot; and further recommend that
Resolution R-57-99 be adopted at appropriate time this
evening. Motion declared carried (Alderman Elstner

LEGAL & LICENSING Alderman Beauvais, Chair
Assistant City Attorney Bartel reviewed City Attorney
Wiltse's memo of July 23, 1999, regarding the proposed
ordinance which would define and restrict so-called
"adult" uses in the City. Mr. Bartel stated that while
the Courts have ruled that "adult" uses cannot be
entirely prohibited, the City can prohibit them from
locating within 500' of residences, churches, schools,
parks, or from any other adult uses. Mr. Bartel stated
that currently the City does not have an ordinance that
deals with adult books, magazines, movies, etc., and
recommends that the City adopt such an ordinance.
Alderman Sayad stated that the proposed ordinance should
be much more strict; can't owners of these establishments
be required to attend some kind of training; the
violation penalties should be very strict.
Alderman Beauvais asked if the Central Business District
can be added to the restricted areas. Mr. Bartel said
yes, it probably can.
Alderman Becker would like nursery schools specified in
the ordinance.
Alderman Smith asked that day care centers be included.
Alderman Arredia asked if the footage could be expanded.
City Manager Douthwaite said yes, if it is a reasonable
amount, maybe 1,000'.
Mr. Wayne Serbin, 835 Pearson Street, addressed the
Committee of the Whole stating that he personally would
not like to see any of these businesses come into the
City; why doesn't the City have a special zoning
classification and seek input from the neighbors.
Ms. Audrey Fendius, 2 82 Harvey Avenue, addressed the
Committee of the Whole stating that this issue disturbs
her greatly; this has to be dealt with now; we have to
keep this a good community.
Moved by Brookman, seconded by Sayad, to recommend to the
City Council to authorize the City Attorney to amend the
proposed adult uses ordinance to incorporate the
suggestions of the aldermen and place the proposed
ordinance, as amended, on First Reading at appropriate
time in the meeting. Motion declared carried.
Petitioners Un Sook Sin and Thomas Jong Ha Kim were sworn
in by the City Clerk and gave testimony before the
Committee of the Whole.
Moved by Smith, seconded by Elstner, to recommend to the
City Council to approve Change of Ownership for Class E
Liquor License for property located at 638 W. Algonquin
Road, d/b/a New Seoul Restaurant, contingent upon
verification of fingerprints. Motion declared carried.
Petitioners Dharmesh N. Bhagwakar and Harsha D. Bhagwakar
were sworn in by the City Clerk and gave testimony before
the Committee of the Whole.
Moved by Sayad, seconded by Becker, to recommend to the
City Council to approve Change of Ownership for Class B
Liquor License for property located at 2687 Mannheim
Road, d/b/a O'Hare Liquors, contingent upon verification
of fingerprints. Motion declared carried.

Alderman Beauvais stated her concern about this request
for a taxi license from this company; they have been
operating in the City for a year without a license and
they are parking their vehicles all over the City.
Alderman Becker also expressed his concern that they have
been operating without a license.
The petitioner stated that he didn't know he needed a
license. Alderman Beauvais questioned that statement
since the petitioner stated earlier in the discussion
that he had licensed taxis in other communities.
Moved by Christiansen, seconded by Brookman, to recommend
to the City Council to DENY request for ten (10) taxi
licenses for United American Limo and Taxi, 2772 s. Des
Plaines/River Road. Motion declared carried.
ENGINEERING Alderman Elstner, Chair
Alderman Elstner announced that the request for the
creation of Special Service Area Number Five to provide
reconstruction of curb and gutter, storm sewers, new
driveway approaches and spot sidewalk replacement in the
area of Dean Street and Howard Avenue, is being held for
further review.
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT Alderman Arredia, Chair
Director of Community Development D'Onofrio reviewed his
memo of August 20, 1999, regarding the request to amend
the Library Plaza PUD to permit the addition of one (1)
story to the proposed residential condominium buildings,
add six (6) dwelling units and change the bedroom mix of
the project; the Des Plaines Plan Commission voted to
recommend approval.
Petitioner Bruce Adreani, President of Norwood Builders,
7458 Harlem Avenue, Chicago, IL 60631, addressed the
Committee of the Whole answering questions regarding the
change of bedroom mix for the project; there has been a
growing demand in Des Plaines for larger units. Mr.
Adreani provided the aldermen with an artist rendering
of what the building site will look like in comparison
to surrounding buildings.
Moved by Becker, seconded by Sayad, to concur with Staff
recommendation and recommend to the City Council to grant
request, re Zoning Case 99-56-A, for an Amendment to
Planned Unit Development (PUD) , Library Plaza, to permit
construction of two (2) residential condominium
buildings, each eight (8) stories in height, totaling 188
dwelling units; and further recommend that Ordinance z-
25-99 be placed on First Reading at appropriate time this

voted no.
MAYOR JUNG ASSUMED THE CHAIR AND DECLARED THE CITY
