MINUTES OF THE REGULAR MEETING
OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF DES PLAINES, ILLINOIS, HELD
IN THE COUNCIL CHAMBERS MONDAY,
JANUARY 7. 1952. AT 8:00 P.M.
CALL TO ORDER. The meeting was called to order by Mayor Kenneth
G. Meyer, who presided with Aldermen Hansen,,Davis, Wolf, Tures, Behrel,
Schallawits, McKay, Clement, Morava and Auck, responding to roll call.
OFFICIAL REPORTS. The Clerk submitted the reports of the Building
Commissioner and City Clerk for December.
Alderman Behrel reported about the men on the Police Reserve. On
motion by Alderman Behrel and second by Alderman Hansen, the City Attorney
was instructed to draft an ordinance on the Police Reserve.
On motion by Alderman Wolf and second lr Alderman Morava the City
Engineer and Superintendent of Public Works were instructed to draft
specifications for a heating plant in the warehouse in order to advertise
bids.
The Mayor referred to the Street Committee, the change of parking
from diagonal to parallel the west side of Pearson Street from Ellinwood
Street south to the alley.
Alderman Auck reported the following on the matter of issuing a
permit to the Nebel Trailer Camp, for a charge to connect their sanitary
sewer to City sewers.:
Your Committee on SEWERS has investigated the above and has found:
(a)
that Mr. O'Reilly (Nebel's attorney) agrees that the
City is rendering a service to the trailer park by dis-
posing of the park's sanitary sewerage and that the
City is entitled to a fair service charge for rendering
that service,
(b) that any service charge established should be retro-
active to 7-1-1951, about the time these negotiations
started.
(c) that O*Reilly': proposal of $1 per month per trailer
for the first 50 units and 50, per month per unit for
the remainder is not acceptable to the Committee. In
fact, it should have been set up in reverse order, i.e.,
a lesser amount for the first block of units and a higher
amount for the greater number of units, because as the
number of trailers increases, the amount of sewerage and
the service performed by the City increases.
8ei+�r &Mattes Report dont' d.
(d) That O'Reilly rejects the Council's proposed service charge
of $1 per unit per month, which charge was determined by City
Council's action.
(e) That the Uity now has two courses of action:
1. accept a compromise offer at a lower unit figure, such as
the 75¢ per month service charge recommended originally
to the Council by the Sewer Committee; or
2. mandamus Nebel to disconnect his sanitary sewer taps to the
24" storm sewer presently in use, furnish his own sanitary
sewerage disposal facilities, and be prepared to defend this
action in court.
63/
3. We, your Committee on Sewers, therefore recommend:
(a) that Council rescind its previsous action insisting on a $1.00
monthly service charge per unit.
(b) that Council approve the sewer Committee's previous recommendation
of 75¢ per month and authorize the City Clerk to submit same
to O'Reilly.
(C) that there is little to be gained and much to lose by going
to court in this matter. On the basis of the maximum capactity of
the trailer park, (300 units), the Council's plan would produce
$300, the Committee's plan $2.25, and O'Reilly's plan $175. An
adverse court decision could require the City to handle the
sewerage at no charge at all.
The motion was made by Alderman Auck and seconded by Alderman Hansen to

the roll with the following result: Aye's: Alderman Hansen,Davis,Wolf,Tures,
