Board of Trustees Meeting Report

Board of Trustees Meeting Reports

Update: Impact of February blizzard. The Village incurred $397,351 in blizzard-related costs. More than 180 semi-loads of snow were hauled, and the Village used 1,167 tons of salt.
Approval of Disaster Declaration due to February 1-4, 2011 snowstorm and its aftermath. This could result in partial reimbursement at the County, State and Federal level for costs incurred.

Update: Multi-family refuse and recycling. Since September, 2010 the Village has been studying the viability of expanding the Village's contract with Groot for garbage/recycling pick up to multi-family buildings with three or more units through a voluntary sign-up program. Terms would be similar to those in the Village's current Groot contract, although multi-family customers would need to purchase their carts. Trustees directed staff to move ahead and finalize the agreement.

Mr. John Myers, attorney with Rabin, Myers & Hanken, spoke on behalf of Glenview Residents Against the NMH Development, a citizens group which is concerned about NMH's proposed medical office development at 2255 Sanders. A public hearing will be held on this project during the March 15, 2011 Trustee meeting. The group requested release of the draft annexation agreement and associated document for review; President Cummings responded that the annexation agreement would be available -- to the group, the Board and the public -- before the hearing.

Amendment to Municipal Code shifting the time limitation for solicitation from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. The Village has been challenged on its 6 p.m. time limit and case law now supports the 9 p.m. limit as, in an increasing number of two-earner households, homes are vacant at 6 p.m. Homeowners and Homeowner Associations are free to post "No Soliciting" signs on their private property. Vote 4-2 in favor, with one abstention.
Conditional use and final site plans:

Abt Electronics, 1200 Milwaukee (conditional use to permit an electronic changeable sign)
Lubavitch Chabad of Glenview, 701 Harlem Avenue (conditional use to permit a building devoted to religious worship and a school within a residential district; final site plan).

Extension of site plan review and conditional use for Midwest Palliative and Hospice Care Center, 2050 Claire Court as its new facility had been delayed due to fund raising efforts.
Amendments to Municipal Code regarding

Contractor requirements and violations. Under the proposed amendment, a contractor with outstanding violations or one that owes the Village money will be prohibited from receiving additional permits.
