Report is being generated for the Illinois Emergency
Management Agency; the purpose of the report is to

disasters. Deputy Police Chief Kozak thanked the Staff
and the many volunteers who assisted during this flood.
Mr. John Milstead, 2515 Church Street, addressed the
Committee of the Whole stating that the City should

Z-19-08, tabled on July 21, 2008. Motion declared

Alderman Murphy reviewed this request for a Conditional
Use to permit a drive-thru operation of a bank on
property located at 1353 Lee Street; this request was
tabled on July 21, 2008 pending the results of additional
traffic analysis; the traffic issues related to bank
development would be mitigated by the widening of Forest
Avenue to create a dedicated right turn lane; $30,000
toward the cost of this improvement would be required of
the bank development with the remainder of the capital
cost to be recouped from any subsequent development on
the southeast corner of Forest Avenue.
