Year of the Family; family is the hub of society.
Mrs. Trish Nelson, 1109 Stockton Avenue, addressed the

about the proposed new fire station and is shocked at
the size of the building and lot; the cost is
staggering; we are going to have flooding; there will be
noise and air pollution; she can't afford to pay for a
fire station that we don't need; sell the land and build
homes.
Mr. Jack Cavalenes, Des Plaines Citizens for Responsible
Development, P.O. Box 2760, Des Plaines, addressed the

City Council stating that his sump pump runs
continually; he has spoken to his alderman; he asks that
the issue be put to an end; he would like the City to
excavate the manhole-fire hydrant to find out where the
leak is coming from; the water is not coming from him.
Alderman Becker stated that there must be a reason that
the sump pump runs constantly; he would like Director of
Engineering Oakley and Director of Public Works Dusckett
to meet out at the property to investigate this matter;
he will come too.
Mr. William Brill, 2335 Eastview Drive, addressed the
City Council asking that the City not raise his taxes;
money is tight; we don't need a new fire station; don't
lay off City employees to save money.
Mrs. Sue D'Hondt, 359 Alles Street, addressed the City
Council stating that she sent a letter to the Mayor and
City Council on June 27, 2002, regarding the alley from
Harding Avenue to Alles Street; a 6-flat is being built
on a very small piece of land which will cause more
problems in this alley; traffic and parking will be a
problem; also garbage pickup.
Alderman Beauvais asked Director of Engineering Oakley
to check with the developer about these problems.
Mr. Gerald Gryzik, 2284 Webster Lane, addressed the City
Council stating that we don't need a fire house on Lee
Street and also the tax increases.

Code requiring electrical contractors to pay a license
fee of $50 and provide proof of insurance.
Mr. Gary Danfield, 655 River Road, addressed the
Committee of the Whole stating that if this is to protect
people, it will be a good thing; the problem is with the
"fly-by-night" people.
Moved by Christiansen, seconded by Beauvais, to concur

Council to amend Title V, Chapter 5, Section 5
"Building Contractors" of the City Code to require
electrical contractors to pay a $50 license fee and
provide proof of insurance; and City Attorney be

carried. Aldermen Murphy and Brookman voted no.
LEGAL & LICENSING -Alderman Smith, Chair
Assistant City Attorney Bartel reviewed his memo of
December 6, 2002, regarding recommendation from the Coo k
County Department of Public Heal th to prohibit
unrestricted, self-service sales of tobacco products
which make those products easily available to minors.
Assistant City Attorney Bartel stated that the City
Council could decide to adopt the Cook County ordinance
in its current form, or amend the ordinance to allow some
type of vending machine sales of tobacco product s
although under the direct control of an employee, or take
no action at this time.
Ms. Madlan McKernan, 1920 Andy Lane, addressed the
Committee of the Whole stating that bars will have to
have a separate place to sell cigarettes; just to say
that no machines will be allowed, is a little
irresponsible.
Aldermen Brookman and Christiansen stated that the City
should get input from the Chamber of Commerce.
Moved by Smith, seconded by Becker, to POSTPONE until
January 20, 2003, further discussion on amending the
tobacco regulations and this matter be reviewed with the
Des Plaines Chamber of Commerce. Motion declared
carried.
Alderman Sayad stated that he has been asked by many of
his residents that there be a discussion on term limits ;
they feel that if an alderman is not doing his/her job,
they can be voted out.
Alderman Becker asked about a referendum. Alderman Smith
stated that could be done.
Alderman Murphy stated that she has not had any requests
from her residents to change term limits.
Alderman Christiansen stated that he has been asked by
residents what can be done to extend the term limits to
additional terms.
Mrs. Sue D'Hondt, 359 Alles Street, addressed the
Committee of the Whole stating that it takes a lot of
experience to understand the job of an elected official;
if they are doing a good job, why should they have to go
after two (2) terms?; term limits do not serve the City
well; it is not fair to anyone.
Alderman Christiansen stated that it took him a full term
to get a handle on this job and he is still learning; ~
build a repore with people. \Jr

Mr. Art Lukowicz, 445 W. Millers Road, addressed the
Committee of the Whole stating he is in favor of
repealing the current term limits in Des Plaines; this
was a big mistake; it doesn't let him vote for the person
he wants; some jobs require more than two ( 2) terms;
let's repeal the two (2) term limit.
Mr. Jack Cavalenes, 1043 Wicke Avenue, addressed the
Committee of the Whole stating that term limits are an
abomination; if someone is doing a good job, they will
get back in; he likes the idea of four (4) aldermen by
Wards and four (4) aldermen at large.
Mr. Vince Powers, 862 Webster Lane, addressed the
Committee of the Whole stating that in 1998 residents put
a referendum on the ballot; the voters voted overwhelming
for this; there has not been a City-wide out cry to
rescind term limits; he would hope that an intelligent
candidate would get up-to-speed in a year; many States
are embracing term limits.
Alderman Becker asked why not let the people make the
decision as to whether it should be three (3) or four (4)
terms; the 1998 referendum did not give the voters those
options.
Alderman Smith stated that if there is to be a
referendum; it should be put on by the people.
Alderman Beauvais stated that she has had people tell her
that they didn't really know what they were signing; she
thinks voters would vote differently if there was a
referendum today.
Mr. Gary Danfield, 655 River Road, addressed the
Committee of the Whole asking who is going to carry on
after these aldermen leave; the City has some serious
issues coming up; term limits is not the answer; it wi l l
just make more problems.
Alderman Brookman stated that she is personally against
term limits, but the people she represents went to the
polls and voted for it.
Alderman Sayad stated that he believes there is a new
voice out there; people want to rethink this; we should
get this on a referendum.
Moved by Beauvais, seconded by Murphy, to recommend to
the City Council that no action be taken by the City
Council regarding term limits. Upon roll call, the vote
