Public Participation
Mr. Jack Fiedler, 375 N. Vista, spoke on behalf of others in his neighborhood requesting |
the Village Board order the condemnation of 379 N. Vista. He said that the house had |
been vacant for 10 years and there are animals and vermin in the house. He further |
explained that their waste has been absorbed in the building materials and because of |
the odor, the house can't be salvaged. He also said that there is a mold problem in the |
walls and roof because the owner has covered holes in the roof with plastic bags rather |
than repair the roof. He told the Board that the stench is terrible. He said that they had |
called the Village reporting a sick animal and someone at the Village told them that the |
animal was on private property and so the Village couldn't do anything about it. When |
they called Willowbrook Wildlife preserve they were told that since these animals are |
nocturnal they can be extremely dangerous if approached in the daylight and can be |
rabid and could infect neighborhood pets and attack young children. |
Mr. Fiedler went on to say that roots from the trees on the property have clogged his |
sewer and he has discovered that builder had connected the house next door to his |
sewer. He told the Board that the house is a serious threat to the health and welfare of |
the neighborhood and to Shaffer School, only a few doors away. He said he was |
confident that the Village would settle this but they demand demolition of the house and |
purification of the land. He said that they would seek legal council and the media if |
nothing is done. He gave a neighbor's name for the Village to contact about settling the |
matter. |
Community Development Director Hulseberg said that they had gotten the complaint |
about the property not the structure. When they responded the grass had been cut. Mr. |
Hulseberg said that the owner told the Village that he had a contract to sell the property, |
but they found that that is not the case. Mr. Hulseberg said that with respect to the |
structure he would defer to the Fire Chief. |
Chief Seagraves said that they had gone out and found the house was not in a state |
where they were able to issue a demolition order. |
Trustee Sebby commented that the property is a detriment to the neighborhood. |
Trustee Soderstrom said that they had a situation like this near him, which the Village |
was able to rectify,and if it is a safety factor, he felt this could be handled by the Village |
as well. |
Chief Seagraves replied that there had been a serious fire at the house Trustee |
Soderstrom referred to in which damages exceeded 50% of the value of the property. In |
that case, that house was a safety hazard. He said that disrepair cases can't be dealt |
with through demolition. He commented that perhaps the Health Department would be |
able condemn it on the basis of health reasons. |
Trustee Soderstrom asked the Chief to exhaust every effort to resolve the problem. The |
residents met in the Community Room with Trustee Sebby, the Fire Chief and |
Community Development Director Hulseberg. |

Committee Reports
Economic/Community Development Committee-Trustee Kenneth M. |
Florey, Chairperson |
Trustee Florey stated that the Committee will meet on August 6 at 4:30 to review the |
DuPage Theater Business Plan. He also pointed out that this evening there is an item |
on the agenda to appoint Pam Schau to the Committee and urged Board members to |
concur with that recommendation. |
Environmental Concerns Committee-Trustee Joan DeStephano, |
Chairperson |
Trustee DeStephano commented that the Committee met on June 25 and discussed |
Cruise Nights recycling efforts. She urged residents to use the brown cans for recycling |
and to attend Cruise Nights. Trustee DeStephano also announced that on September |
14 the Village will hold the Recycling Extravaganza. She said that the next meeting of |
the Committee will be July 23. She said Pam Schau has left the Committee and did a |
nice job while serving. Trustee DeStephano said that the Committee now has an |
opening for a new member. She explained that they meet on the 4th Tuesday each |
month and asked that Lombard residents with a strong interest in Environmental Issues |
apply by calling Carol Bauer at 620-5712. |
Finance Committee-Trustee Karen S. Koenig, Chairperson
Trustee Koenig reported that the Committee had met regarding the DuPage Theater |
Business Plan. Although a newspaper story reported that the Committee had approved |
the business plan, they in fact had approved only certain line items. She went on to say |
that they viewed part of the plan with healthy skepticism and the vote was 4 to 2. They |
were encouraged by the comments of Fred Solari of the Atheneaum Theater who gave |
a comforting opinion regarding the personnel projections and that he believes that this |
type of Theater can be run in the black. She said that she will provide a complete report |
at the August meeting and encouraged any interested members of the Finance |
Committee to attend the August Board meeting to add their input. |
Trustee Koenig added that included in tonight's agenda is a meter reading contract |
which represents only a 7 cent increase per reading. She congratulated Staff on doing a |
good job of negotiating the contract. |
Public Works Committee-Trustee Steven D. Sebby, Chairperson
Trustee Sebby reported that at their meeting of July 9th, the Committee had a follow up |
discussion regarding the Lemoyne and North Avenue drainage. He said that the |
meeting was very positive and that the households are being pro active regarding back |
yard flooding, having formed a group and appointed a leader to begin the process. He |
also mentioned that there are several change orders on tonight's agenda recommended |
by the Committee. Village Engineer David Dratnol added that SurfaceTreatment and |
Crack Sealing were discussed. |
Transportation & Safety Committee-Trustee Rick Soderstrom, |
Chairperson |
Trustee Soderstrom stated that the Committee had not met in July and there would be |
no August meeting. The next meeting will be held in the beginning of September. |
Community Promotion & Tourism Committee-President William J. |
Mueller, Chairperson |
President Mueller informed the Board that meetings had been cancelled for July and |
August. |
Village Clerk- Suzan L. Kramer

Board met last Thursday, July 11, 2001 and approved the following items: |
For Special Assessment 213, West/Windsor/Woodland, final balancing change order |
#12 in the maount of $41,657.04. |
For Special Assessment 216, Ahrens/School/Norton/Highridge/Wilson, payout number 2 |

$28,336.63. |
Under other business, Ray Schwab, Civil Engineer II briefed us on his continuing efforts |
with Illinois-American Water Company and water in the Lombard Lagoon area. Ray also |
presented a brief overview of the Special Assessments Survey prepared by Crystal |
Wojtysiak, Engineering Co-Op. An interesting note is that 12 out of 33 municipalities |
surveyed do Special Assessments (42%). Each of the active municipalities have done |
about 3 Special Assessments in the last 10 years-the majority of which are road repairs |
and sewer and water improvement. In most cases, the Special Assessment cost is |
dependent on the project. There is no set standing cost. |
The next meeting of BOLI is scheduled for Thursday, August 15 at 1:00 pm. |

Village Manager/Village Board Comments
Finance Director/ Acting Village Manager Len Flood reported that now that the Meter |
reading program contract has been drafted, a Water and Sewer Rate Study will be |
undertaken. He said that the Finance and Public Works Departments will be working |
jointly, as they had on the meter reading program, to select firm by October in order to |
be ready for the Budget process and bring a proposal to the Board in February before |
adoption of 2003-2004 Budget. |
President Mueller Congratulated Kristi and Ken Florey on their new baby daughter. |
President Mueller announced that tonight would be Chief Graves' last meeting. The |
President commented that Chief Graves had been in Law Enforcement for many years. |
He said that the Chief had been recommended to us, and had agreed to act as Interim |
Police Chief. He thanked the Chief for his professional dedication and the harmony that |
he has brought to the Police Department,as well as instituting new programs in the short |
time he has been with us. President concluded by saying "Thanks a million and best |
wishes" on behalf of the Village. |
Trustee Soderstrom stated he will only make one comment at this time. He said he was |
disappointed that the Finance Committee did not have the opportunity to review the |
DuPage Theater Business Plan as a whole and urged the Economic and Community |
Development Committee to review the plan as a whole. |
Trustee Koenig said that they did have the opportunity but they chose to limit their |
scope. |
Trustee Tross said that many members at the Finance Committee meeting wanted a |
second motion and it was not allowed as it was not on the agenda, with the Finance |
Director referring to a previous memo from Attorney Bayer. |
Director Flood said that they didn't consider the scope of the project at the meeting |
because the scope of the project was not on the agenda. |
President Mueller said that no committee had been charged with review of the scope of |
the project. |
Trustee Tross said that the Finance Committee had been charged with determining the |
feasibility of the Theater. He he said that they were limited to specific columns. |
President Mueller suggested that the matter be deferred until the Finance Committee |
made their full report. |
Trustee Sebby wished his wife Libby a Happy Birthday as she had turned 28 again |
yesterday. |
Trustee Sebby also said that they had dinner at the Texan Barbeque and the food was |
fantastic. He said that they talked to the owner, Mr. Madden, who was actually bussing |
tables. He said it is a very busy establishment. Trustee Sebby said that the new |
restaurant is a very viable addition to the Downtown Development . He said that a |
business using valuable property for a viable use is a favorable option especially with |
tax generating residential units above. Trustee Sebby said that he would like to see |
more of that type of development both East of Main Street on St. Charles as well as on |
Main Street South of St. Charles. He said that in the case of the DuPage Theater |
structure on Parkside and Main emotions are swaying some people. He said that |
government is to be by the people, for the people and not just for a select few. He |
reported that the DuPage Theater newspaper had an article in which a DuPage |
supporter said the Village needs to make a decision. Trustee Sebby said that he thinks |
that this is so important that the Village should draft the proper language to put a |
referendum on the November Ballot, to be considered at the August Board meeting. |
Trustee Florey said that the business plan is a complex plan and Committees were |
charged with the economic feasibility based on the business plan and not the policy as |
to whether are not to proceed with the theater restoration project. |
President Mueller added that the Board will hold a separate meeting in August on the |
subject. He stated that the direction was to review the plan and that was the extent of |
their review. He said that Trustee Tross had asked the Committee to vote on the project |
its self but we have only asked the Committees to report back regarding the business |
plan. |
Trustee DeStephano thinks that the Texan is wonderful but we need a mix of uses in the |
Downtown area. She said that there are 2,000 residents who want to save the Theater. |
She will not support a referendum. |
Trustee Tross thanked Board members on behalf of the Bingo and gaming volunteers |
for their participation at the Taste of Lombard. He said that the Jaycees thank the |
Village for services provided as well as the Fireworks and staff for their services. He |
thanked the residents of districts 5 and 6 for allowing all of the attendees in their back |
yard. President Mueller said that we will recognize the Jaycees at our August Board |
meeting, he thanked the Jaycees for doing a wonderful job and for arranging a great fire |
works display. |

Agenda Items for Separate Action
020384
Director Hulseberg gave a presentation with details of the proposed subdivision. This |
development calls for 4.1 dwelling units per acre. He gave details of the surrounding |
land uses and lot sizes in the area. He pointed out that the petition includes variations |
for the fence heights so that all fences along Route 53 will be uniform and to provide |
screening from the Great Western Trail. He pointed out that along Meadow Avenue, the |
fence would be six feet as it wouldn't impede on any properties or clear line of sight. |
Some considerations have been made to buffer the sight from Route 53 if the highway is |
widened and lowered. They will also attempt to save as much plant material as possible |
to buffer noise. In conclusion, Mr. Hulseberg said that Staff agrees with the petition and |
the Plan Commission unanimously recommended it to the Board of Trustees. |
Scott Richmond, 474 Summit ,Elgin, Attorney for Mercedes Builders, spoke and |
introduced owners Joe Pierro and Michael Baracas. The developers made a |
presentation regarding their petition. He highlighted the detention features and said that |
home prices would be in the $400,000 range. He said thatthe development will |
conform with the surrounding properties and be an asset to the Village. |
While she saw many positive aspects to the development, Trustee DeStephano asked |
for the matter to be tabled until the August Board meeting in order to have time to |
negotiate further with the Developer to reduce the density. |
When asked by the Trustees if they had intended to construct this season, Mr. |
Richmond said that the matter being tabled and/or approving it for fewer lots would |
make the project financially unfeasible. |
It was stated that the project had originally requested approval for 40 townhomes, at the |
Village's request, the developer had proposed the project with the 18 single family |
homes. |
During the ensuing discussion it was suggested that the Board review the guidelines of |
density in various zoning districts at a later date. |
The Trustees expressed varying opinions as to whether the matter should be tabled with |
one being the shortness of the construction season. Some members were of the opinion |
that if the comprehensive plan is already in place and the proposed project is in |
compliance, it should be approved. |
President Mueller reminded the Board that the developer had already been asked to |
enlarge the lots and had said that they could not. He also stated that the Board |
frequently approves variations on a case by case basis which the Zoning Board has |
recommended for denial. |
Enactment No: Ordinances 5174, 517 |

Director Hulseberg gave a powerpoint presentation on the issue of garages. He |
highlighted two requests for relief from the code which were approved by the Village |
Board and at that time they asked that the issue be reviewed with the Plan Commission. |
He said that the Village Codes are to promote compliance and preserve appearance. |
He gave the details of the study that staff had done. |
Trustee DeStephano said that she had pulled this item so they could talk about it. She |
was concerned that item 4 will cause variations of smaller lots coming to ask for |
hardship, and wondered how it could be written to make variation requests decrease. |
President Mueller said you stop variations by not granting variations. He mentioned that |
the Village of Oak Brook is an example of a community where they do not grant |
variances. |
Trustee Soderstrom spoke in support of the ordinance and said that the review had |
been done well by staff. |
It was moved by Trustee Sebby, seconded by Trustee Koenig, that this matter be |

Trustee Tross said that he had asked that this item be pulled as it is too complex and |
too complicated. he objected to the disclaimer which must be written on any materials |
given out by groups using the facility as well as the insurance requirements. When |
asked to comment, Attorney Bayer explained the relationship with the Village being the |
owner of the Historical Museum and the land. He said that he had been asked to draft |
something to protect the Village from liability and to limit use of the facilities to historical |
purposes. He also said that should the Board desire something less, that is their |
decision. |
Trustee Florey said that as an Attorney, he deals with this type of situation all the time |
and said that unfortunately, steps like this are necessary due to the state of the world |
now. He feels that since this is our property, this agreement is necessary to protect the |
Village. |
Enactment No: Resolution 39-03 Lom |
Joel Van Haaften, Executive Director of the Lombard Historical Museum spoke thanking |
the Board of Trustees for letting him come and discuss this matter. He gave a brief |
explanation of how the request came about from the request of Venture Crew 1776, a |
young, energetic Historical group (affiliated with the Boy Scouts) to use the facility. He |
said that it would provide a vital experience to their education as well as provide |
volunteers at the facilities |
