Alderman Brookman stated that we need to take a step back
due to the economic times; we have to act responsibly;
we would double our yearly debt if we build a new
station; she cannot vote to proceed.
Alderman Sayad stated that Alderman Brookman is correct;
other things are a higher priority; we do need a Police
and Fire station; we are evaluating our budget now; bonds
are like a mortgage; our bankbook does not justify this
right now.
Alderman Christiansen stated that the current Police
Station was built for 40-50 officers and we now have over
100; there is no place for the women officers; no crime
scene storage; we are busting at the seams; it is
beginning to be an unsafe situation; there is no
secondary entrance on the plans.
Alderman Beauvais stated that the Staff has made
recommendations; they have toured other Police Stations;
she disagrees with waiting; move forward with this
project; we are also waiting for grant money; use the
time to review this with the public.
Alderman Sayad stated that we have to 1 i ve with the
current station; we can go another year until we can
project revenues; we must reevaluate our position;
everyday services are the priority; all Cities are in
this same position.
Alderman Smith stated that this project should not be
halted tonight; just go slowly; would like to see more
information; there must be a way to continue this
project.
Mr. Wayne Serbin, 635 Pearson Street, addressed the
Committee of the Whole stating that the First
Congregational Church has been able to park at the old
Library during services; will we be able to expand the
new building; let the public vote on this through a
binding referendum.
Mr. Gary Danfield, 655 River Road, addressed the
Committee of the Whole asking how the prisoners will be
transfered; this is a residential district; maybe we need
an alternate site; we're going too fast.
Moved by Beauvais, seconded by Christiansen, to recommend
to the City Council to take from the table the matter of
advertising for bids for the demolition of the building
at 841 Graceland Avenue, which was tabled on April 15,
2002, and place it on the agenda for discussion for City
Council meeting on June 3, 2002. Motion declared
carried. Alderman Smith voted no (later changed to

the funding come from; will there be Staff assigned;
under what authority will the committee operate.
Alderman Beauvais stated that the Flood Committee is not
present; this is a conceptual plan.
Alderman Argus stated that the plan is interesting; we
should not approve undersized lots; that takes away open
land.
Mayor Arredia stated that the City will have a flood
control package that they will try to implement; the plan
will be used for the City's CRS rating; the
implementation of the plan is going to take the
cooperation of many agencies.
Moved by Murphy, seconded by Brookman, to recommend to
the City Council to approve a revised Flood Control Plan
reflecting Mayor Arredia's comments and that the plan be
approved and Resolution R-58-02 be adopted at the June
3, 2002 City Council meeting. Motion declared carried.

property located at 2100-2102 E. Miner Street; the Des
Plaines Zoning Board of Appeals and Staff recommended in
favor of granting this request with conditions.
Alderman Beauvais stated that the petitioner had the same
type of business in Rockford; did we contact the Rockford
Police Department; what is the difference between a day
spa and massage therapy; will there be any whirlpools.
Alderman Murphy asked if the masseuses are licensed; when
was the business in Rockford opened; were there any
Police instances; are any off site services provided.
Alderman Sayad asked about the services offered; are most
of the patrons men; how will the business get clientele;
will there be insurance coverage; are the masseuses sole
proprietorships; the liability is only on the masseuses.
Alderman Brookman stated that the Rockford Police should
be called.
Mr. David Kubly, 2243 18th Avenue, Rockford, petitioner,
and Ms. Nancy Sander, 8532 School Street, Morton Grove,
attorney for the petitioner, addressed the Committee of
the Whole stating that the business in Rockford was
opened last year; clients will be obtained through
advertisements; while in business in Rockford, the Police
were never called; the masseuses are independent
contractors; there are no male masseuses; there will not
be any whirlpools in the facility; no off-site services
will be provided.

memo of May 6, 2002, regarding request for a Variation
to allow the petitioner to construct a 5.42' tall, solid
fence in the secondary front yard on property located at
1094 Woodlawn Avenue; the Des Plaines Zoning Board of
Appeals recommended in favor of granting this request;
Staff is opposed to granting this variation due to a lack
of mitigating factors, such as a high traffic volume or
excessive noise.
Alderman Christiansen stated he is not opposed to the
fence; there is no sight obstruction; one of the
conditions should state the forty-five degree angle
required.
Moved by Beauvais, seconded by Brookman, to recommend to
the City Council to grant request, re Zoning Case 02-21-

Alderman Murphy stated that this will require training
for the Staff.
Deputy Director Molinari stated that some inspectors are
already testing; costs are minimal.
Alderman Sayad stated that Staff time and money is spend
to retrain and recertify Staff members; what we have is
adequate; does not see any significant reason to change.
