maintained that building; it is criminal neglect; the
City should call the FBI to investigate the Library Board
or he will; the City gave the Board $400,000 and they
misappropriate these funds; he would like a referendum
on the November election ballot asking: "Shall the City
impose a 10-year moratorium on all building in the City
and require the department heads to move into the City
within six (6) months."; our taxes will go down and our
property values will go up; the City should have a
comprehensive plan--they don't have one now.
A member of St. John's Greek Orthodox Church addressed the
City Council stating that he is a member of the Des
Plaines Watershed Committee and Flood Committee; the
Flood Control Committee has a master plan for flood
control; they had problems developing this plan; some
communities did not cooperate; there is a lot of
bickering among these communities; Cook County does not
have a flood control commission; we need a commission to
oversee flood control from Wisconsin to Lockport; we must
cooperate and work together; the Committee will be back
again with their master plan.
Mr. Steve Antonoff, 1555 Whitcomb Avenue, addressed the
City Council stating that there is a building at the
corner of Oakton and White Streets that is not handicap
accessible; why did the City give its approval. Acting
Mayor Arredia stated that the Staff will investigate.

Presented for consideration (no action required) was the
appointment of Jana B. Haas to the SPECIAL EVENTS
COMMISSION (replacing David Laaser) . (final action on

ACTING MAYOR ARREDIA DECLARED THAT THE CITY COUNCIL WAS
NOW RESOLVED INTO A COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE
BUILDING CODE Alderman Sayad, Chair
Director of Community Development D'Onofrio reviewed his
memo of May 22, 2000, regarding a request for a Variation
to permit construction of a circular drive on property
located at 1555 Woodland Avenue. Director D' Onofrio
stressed the Staff's strong opposition to this request,
i.e. lot is only 50' wide which would make it
questionable as to how functional the driveway would be,
there are no other circular driveways in the
neighborhood.
Alderman Sayad stated that he is in favor of this
request; this petitioner has special needs because of
where his house is located. Alderman Sayad stated that
he has visited the site twice and spoke to a neighbor.
Moved by Brookman, seconded by Beauvais, to recommend to
the City Council to grant request for a Variation to
Section 4-7-9 of the Building Code to permit construction
of a circular driveway on property located at 1555
Woodland Avenue. Motion declared carried.
LEGAL & LICENSING Alderman Beauvais, Chair
City Attorney Wiltse reviewed his memo of June 2, 2000,
regarding amendments to the liquor license ordinance
pertaining to license suspension or non-renewal;
presently, there is no screening process in place on
renewals and no particular standards on suspension.
There was a general discussion on training
accountability, i.e. how does the City know who has
attended the TIPS class and who hasn't. Acting Mayor
Arredia stated that he would review this with the Staff
and get back to the aldermen on this matter.
Moved by Sayad, seconded by Petersen, to concur with
Staff recommendation and recommend to the City Council
to approve amendments to the liquor license ordinance
that would establish standards for license suspension or
non-renewal; and place proposed ordinance on First
Reading at appropriate time this evening. Motion
declared carried.
Moved by Beauvais, seconded by Sayad, to recommend to the
City Council that City Attorney be authorized to prepare
draft ordinance to change the order of business on the
City Council meeting agenda to add "Aldermen Comments"

immediately following "Citizen Participation"; ("Aldermen

Council agenda after "Manager's Report"). Motion
declared carried.
FINANCE & ADMINISTRATION Alderman Brookman, Chair
Moved by Sayad, seconded by Smith, to concur with Staff
recommendation and recommend to the City Council approval
of June 5, 2000 -Warrant Register, in the amount of
$3,669,196.72, which includes $3,244.59 in expenditures
to Home Depot; and further recommend that Resolution R-
40-00 be adopted at appropriate time this evening.
Motion declared carried (Alderman Elstner abstained on
approving expenditures to Home Depot in the amount of
$3,244.59 -conflict of interest).
Moved by Smith, seconded by Becker, to concur with Staff
recommendation and recommend to the City Council that
City issue $4.11 million in General Obligation Bonds,
Series 2000, to be used to pay the street improvements
in the Year 2000 Street Rehabilitation Contracts 1 and
2; and Ordinance M-25-00 be placed on First Reading at
appropriate time this evening. Motion declared carried.
PUBLIC WORKS Alderman Smith, Chair
Director of Public Works Killian reviewed letter received
from ARC Disposal & Recycling Company, dated May 3 o,
2000, regarding the oversize container issue, previously
tabled on May 1 and May 15, 2000.
Mr. K. Van Byssum, Municipal Market Manger for ARC
Disposal, addressed the Committee of the Whole stating
that ARC understands that the large containers are
attractive to residents because of the convenience they
offer, but ARC is attempting to reduce the number of
lifting injuries which OSHA feels is a direct result of
overweight/oversize containers.
Mr. Van Byssum stated that ARC is proposing the use of
a 90-gallon plastic wheeled cart at the monthly rental
fee of $4 instead of $5 and, as an added bonus, they
would offer free use of the cart for the first 3-month
billing quarter (July, August, September).
Alderman Becker stated that there should be a one time
credit by ARC across the board for every resident.
Alderman Sayad agreed; maybe $3 this year and $2 next
year to every resident.
Mr. Van Byssum stated that would cost ARC about $60,000.
Alderman Petersen stated that she has not received any
complaints from her residents; she doesn't think ARC
should pay for any cans.
Alderman Brookman stated that part of the problem is that
the aldermen heard about this situation after the
contract was signed; it is reasonable to assume that ARC
should have known that they might have some of the
problems they had in Park Ridge; they should have brought
this matter to the City Council; ARC is doing a terrific
job, but they should have brought the aldermen full
information; ARC had pre-printed stickers which indicates
that they knew about the problem.
CONTAINERS
(Cont'd.)
033
6/5/00
PAGE EIGHT
Mr. Van Byssum stated that they didn't use the pre-
printed sticker at first (they used a generic sticker)
because they didn't know how great the problem was until
they sampled the routes.
Alderman Beauvais suggested that ARC replace the oversize
containers with 90-gallon carts free of charge for one
(1) year.
Mr. Van Byssum stated that ARC would make another offer:
six (6) month free trial and then reduce the rental fee
from $5 to $4, plus they would give $5,000 to be used by
Public Works.
Alderman Becker questioned how the word would get out
about this offer; perhaps we could have stickers printed.
Director Killian stated that a mailing could be done to
every household by July 1st and also put on the water
bills.
Alderman Sayad stated that he thinks this idea is wrong;
this is not the answer; maybe the City could pay $2 and
ARC pay $3.
Mr. Vince Naccarato, 486 Cordial Drive, addressed the
Committee of the Whole stating that all this talk is a
big waste of time; we are only talking about $10; you
could be spending a lot more time on important issues;
the City OK'd this contract; we messed up; let's learn
from this and move on.
Moved by Beauvais, seconded by Petersen, to recommend to
the City Council that ARC Disposal & Recycling Company,
Inc., 2101 S. Busse Road, Mt. Prospect, IL 60056, offer
a 90-gallon waste cart with cover and wheels, free of
charge for six (6) months beginning July 1, 2000; if a
resident desires to keep using the 90-gallon cart after
the six (6) month period, ARC will provide a reduced
rental rate of $4/month (ARC will bill quarterly for this
service); normal collection fees still apply; and ARC
will make a $5,000 donation to the City to be used at the
City's discretion.
Moved by Sayad, seconded by Becker, to adopt a substitute
motion and recommend to the City Council that the City
reimburse every resident $2 and ARC Disposal reimburse
every resident $3.
Mr. Van Bys sum stated that ARC might consider reimbursing
only those people who now have oversize containers in the
amount of $4 up to a maximum of $1,200.
Following further discussion, Aldermen Sayad and Becker
withdrew their substitute motion.
Moved by Brookman, seconded by Becker, to adopt a
substitute motion and recommend to the City Council that
ARC Disposal reimburse every resident in the amount of
$4. Upon roll call, the vote was:
AYES: 3-Sayad, Brookman, Becker
NAYS: 4-Beauvais, Elstner, Smith, Petersen
ABSENT: 1-Christiansen
Motion declared failed.
