The regular meeting of the Village Board of Trustees was held on Thursday, November 9, 1989, in the Board Room of the Village Hall and called to order by the President at 8:00 pm.
Present were President Dhamer, Trustees Wicke, Borowicz and Hoeft with Trustees Greve, Gow and Russ being absent. Also attending were Attorney Kukla, Village Engineer Schwegel, Police Chief Rossi, Public Works Nimbar and Building Inspector Schaller.
The October 12, 1989 minutes of the regular meeting were presented and there being no additions nor corrections. Trustee Hoeft made a motion that they be approved as presented, seconded by Trustee Wicke, and upon roll call, all trustees and the President voted aye and the motion carried.
Next, the financial reports for the current month were put before the trustees. Upon examination of same, Trustee Wicke made a motion to approve the Treasurer's Report, seconded by Trustee Hoeft and upon roll call, all trustees and President voted aye and motion carried.
The current expenses were reviewed by the trustees. Trustee Borowicz reminded the Clerk of the fact the Travelers Insurance was reduced by one employee. Thereafter, a motion was made by Trustee Borowicz, seconded by Trustee Hoeft, to approve payment of invoices submitted and upon roll call, all trustees and the President voted aye and the Clerk was instructed to make payment of same.
Trustee Hoeft then made a motion to authorize the payment of $245,107.00 to Seagren and Shales from Home State Bank noting the payout had been approved by Baxter and Woodman, seconded by Trustee Wicke, and upon roll call, all trustees and the President voted aye and the motion carried.
President Dhamer then called Timothy Lombard to the Board table to bestow honor upon him for the attainment of Eagle Scout in the Boy Scouts of America and thereafter asked that a
Resolution in his honor be read.
Next, President Dhamer asked Randy Zimmerman and his attorney, John Horelad, on behalf of Norm Zimmerman to bring their request before the Board. They presented their Plat of Survey to the Trustees and the amendment to the zoning of the property. The Zoning Commission had recommended that the property located at West and South of Algonquin Road in Huntley as petitioned be rezoned from R2 to Rl. The question was brought up as to the change in zoning of said property. It was deemed as not necessary to change and Trustee Hoeft made a motion to accept the concept plan of the Norman Zimmerman request as presented, seconded by Trustee Borowicz. Upon roll call, all trustees and the President voted aye and the motion carried. They were advised by Attorney Kukla that they must go to the Plan Commission with their final plan and file with Baxter and Woodman 30 days prior to the date set by the Plan Commission.
Re the Community Develop¬ ment Program, Attorney Kukla gave a summary or the Park District's proposal re maintenance of the Village park. No action was taken at this time.
President Dhamer called Ken Bakley to the table. Mr. Bakley was before the Board asing that a recapture agreement be given on his 200 feet of sanitary sewer to Ruth Road. He gave a summary of this request, noting $3200 was cost of same. Attorney Kukla advised that Mr. Bakley needed to have his attorney draft a recapture agreement and bring same back to Board for approval, but that he needed some indication from the Board before doing same. The Sewer and Water Committee recommended the Board give this indication and Attorney Kukla will get with his attorney.
There being no public comments, the meeting continued.

For the seventh straight year the Huntley Fire Protection District will be involved in a state wide campaign to alert residents concerning fires caused by holiday decorations. The project is called, "KEEP THE WREATH RED."
As in previous years a large wreath has been put up in the window in front of Station #1 on Coral Street. The red lights on the wreath will be constantly lit. If there is a fire in the district caused directly by holiday decorations a bulb on the wreath will be changed to white.
During the last six years the lights on the wreath have remained red throughout the holiday season. The fire district asks that all residents please continue to be fire safety minded again this year and "Keep The Wreath Red."
Make sure Christmas trees are fresh and kept away from any type of heat and that they are checked often for water in the tree stand. Make sure all lights are UL tested and check all lights and cords to insure they are in good condition. Never use inside lights for outside use as they are not made to withstand the weather. Keep children and pets away from electrical cords around the Christmas tree and other lighted decorations. Be very careful when you're smoking, or others are smoking, around Christmas decorations. Gift wrapping should never be discarded in the fireplace.
House Bill 3, signed into law by Governor Thompson, required all dwellings to have smoke detectors installed by July 1, 1988.
When looking for a gift this year, think about choosing a smoke detector and fire extinguisher. "Smoke Detectors Save Lives" and what better gift to give to someone you care about.
The Christmas holiday season is a time of joy. Don't let this time be saddened by not taking proper care of Christmas trees and decorations. The Huntley Fire Protection District wishes all of you a happy and "safe" holiday season.
