1.). UTILITY TAX
Based upon the 1996 -2000 Five -Year Financial Plan as adopted by
the Board on September 26, 1995, the Village Manager recommends
that the Board adopt Ordinance 95- TX -UT -G -563 to extend the
Village's utility tax, on its existing terms, through 1996.
The current tax is at the rate of 4 percent on electric and natural gas
service, and 3 percent on local telephone service. All receipts from
the tax are deposited in the Infrastructure Fund, which supports
improvements to and major maintenance of the Village's roads,
drainage systems and safety pathways.
Sue Lanham, York Woods, requested the Board to consider reducing
the telephone tax of commercial residents. President Bushy
explained that many Oak Brook businesses do not generate sales tax
revenue, rather revenue through the utility tax. Our commercial
residents are aware they pay no property taxes in Oak Brook, and the
utility tax generates revenue for the Village. Many convnunities in
the western suburbs have property taxes and a utility tax in the same
range as the Village.

On April 25, 1995, the Village Board passed Resolution R -646
granting approval of a two -lot subdivision of the Diepstra property at
2417 35th Street. Under the Subdivision Regulations, the petitioner
has a six-month period to complete all necessary plans, documents,
etc. Due to some confusion regarding whether or not the sanitary
sewers were in place and misunderstanding regarding what needed to
be done, the petitioner is requesting a six -month time extension.
Motion by Trustee Kenny, seconded by Trustee Bartecki, to grant the
petitioner the requested six -month extension for submission of the
final plat revision and related documentation for the Diepstra
Subdivision. VOICE VOTE: Motion carried.

Westdale Gardens area ia the event of a problem on the Oak Brook

The agreement, which was prepared by Village Attorney Martens, is
substantially identical to similar agreements the Village has in place
with the Villages of Lombard, Downers Grove, Westmont and
Hinsdale. The only substantive difference is that while such
agreements typically provide for sharing the cost of establishing the
interconnection on an equal basis, this agreement provides that Oak
Brook will bear 75 percent of the cost. This is reflective of the fact
that Oak Brook is the principal beneficiary of the interconnection.
Hillside has already executed the agreement. The Village Manager
recommends that the Village Board approve the agreement and
authorize President Bushy to execute it on behalf of Oak Brook.
Motion by Trustee Savino, seconded by Trustee Kenny, to approve
the "Municipal Water System Interconnection Agreement" between
the Villages of Oak Brook and Hillside, and authorize the Village

elected officials of the three sponsoring local governmental units.
President Bushy acknowledged School District 53 had outgrown their
facilities for hosting their Ethnic Fest. They approached the Village
to expand the event with the assistance of the Village. An
exploratory committee was formed of organizations in teak Brook to
formulate ideas of an event that would bring neighbors together to
celebrates the diversity and ethnicity of Oak Brook.

The Village Board, on September 27, 1994, considered results of the

Committee to consider alternative routes, in response to concerns
expressed at the hearing.
One of the concerns expressed at the public hearing was the closeness
of the path to existing houses at the south end of the construction, just
north of Salt Creek. As a result, the Pathway Committee has spent
considerable time investigating options which avoid that conflict
point. Options considered include:
1. Path on west side of York Road between 31 st Street and Robin
Hood Ranch - (this is the recommended location).
2. Same as above, but for redirecting the path across the south edge of
Christ Church property (adjacent to 3312 Oak Road) to provide
access to the Forest Preserve path.
Staff has met with numerous agencies, (DuPage County Highway,
DuPage County Forest Preserve District, Mayors & Managers
Conference - Transportation Committee, Illinois Department of
Transportation, and Federal Highway Administration), to consider
this type of re- routing, and received a positive response from all of
them. Based on that information, plus input from Village residents,
the Pathway Committee, at its September 14, 1995 meeting
recommended the path be located on the West side of York Road,
between 31 st Street and Robin Hood Ranch. From that point south,
pathway users could access the existing Fullersburg Forest Preserve
multi -use path down to York Road/Salt Creek. The reconstructed
bridge over Salt Creek (DuPage County's roadway project) will then
accommodate pathway users continuing south to the Hinsdale area.
This project is being funded through federal Transportation Control
Measure grant (administered by Mayors & Managers), with a cost
split of 25% Village and 75% Federal. The original Mayors &
Managers approval was received in 1992, and has been extended
annually. The most recent extension was to the federal FY96. This
means that the construction part of the project needs to be awarded no
later than September, 1996.
Village Manager Veitch stated the Safety Pathway Committee has
spent more than a year on the proposed project, and their findings
recommend the York Road bicycle path be located on the west side of
York Road between 31 st Street and Robin Hood Ranch. President
Bushy thanked the Committee for their efforts in pursuing this
project.
President Bushy asked for public comment:
VILLAGE OF OAK BROOK Minutes 10 of 14 October 24, 1995
219,
Stanley Strahan, 27 Robin Hood Ranch, on behalf of the homeowners
association and Tom Doyle, President of their Association, stated
their Association was unable to reach a consensus of the Pathway
Committee recommendation. A letter was distributed to the Board of
Trustees noting their concern of safety and security of the proposed
pathway.
Joan Philip, 3412 York Road, commented that the proposed pathway
is better than none, as the loose gravel on York Road is hazardous for
pedestrians, bicyclists or runners.
Village Manager Veitch recognized Bruce Kapff, Purchasing
Director /grants Coordinator, as the Village representative who
attended the Pathway Committee meetings. grants Coordinator Kapff
stated the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) has specific
guidelines of what can be constituted as a pathway. The route must
be determined before proceeding with any formalized project. He
clarified that the majority of the pathway system is along major streets
in Oak Brook. If IDOT does not accept the proposed pathway along
York Road, then the Village would pursue an off-street pathway.
Michael Macken, 4 Robin Hood Ranch, suggested the pathway
behind his home is under water on a regular basis, as it is below the
Creek level.
Ana Sisson, Pathway Committee member, commented that, presently,
there isn't a pathway available for children from that area to walk or
bicycle to Butler School, the Park District, Library or another
subdivision. The children must maneuver along York Road, and she
offered the proposed pathway is better than none.
Arlene Birkhahn, 3312 York Road, voiced her concern that the
pathway through her property would cause a hardship. Her property
would be the most affected by the proposed route, and it could
decrease the value of her home. She further voiced her concern for
the safety of pedestrians on the ;pathway with vehicles coming into
and out of her driveway. She requ - -ted the Board members to
consider the pathway to proceed al. -+g the Christ Church property,
and the Village propose this to the Church Trustees.
Co- Chairman Tom. Richardson, Safety Pathway Committee,
expressed the Committee's concern for safety and not affecting
property owners in the design of the pathway. He suggested it was
not feasible without obtaining more easements on York Road. He
recommended, due to the Robin Hood Ranch residents' concern of

safety and security, to direct the pathway along York Read to the
Church property.
Trustee Kenny asked if a feasible alternative would be a route through
the Christ Church property on an elevated walkway.
Grants Coordinator Kapff commented that staffs consultant,
Civiltech Engineering, had not considered this as a viable option.
Staff would need to review this option.
Rhea Anderson, 2 Robin Hood Ranch, noted the bicycle safety force
from our Police Department patrols the pathway system, and there has
been no incidences in Fullersburg Woods or along the pathway of any
security problems.
Trustee Barteela stated his concern of two unacceptable a t; €natives
for a pathway unless barriers are located along York Road.
Consultant Mark Hine, Civiltech Engineering, explained that federal
funding has been secured from the Federal Highway Commission.
This funding providi-s the facilities, i.e., landscape, sidewalks or
pathway along and within the right-of-way of highways. It is their
purpose to offer alternatives for vehicular usage.
Trustee Kenny inquired if the pathway was developed along the
Christ Church property, could the Village lose the federal funding.
The consultant will have to inquire if this option is possible.
President Bushy indicated the three -lane configuration proposed for
York Road, by DuPage County, would be a two -lane traffic flow with
a center static lane for turning. It would improve the moving
condition of traffic but not increase the carrying capacity.
Matt Anderson, 2 Robin Hood Ranch, voiced his opposition to a
pathway system along York Road and requested researching an
alternative route along the Christ Church property. He inquired as to
why the pathway system is asphalt.
Connie Craig, Co- Chairman of the Safety Pathway Committee,
explained the Village surveyed residents of the pathway system. 86'x/0
of the respondents requested the pathways be asphalt based.
President Bushy asked the Boarl for a decision to recommend for the
staff to pursue a route for the pathway system.

Trustee Bartecki stated the two proposed pathways were iuiacceptable
and to pursue better alternatives with IDOT.
Trustee Savino asked if the suggested boardwalk by Trustee Kenny be
a viable alternative. Village Engineer Durfey clarified that the
pathway would have to be designed for horses. Consultant Hine
stated the boardwalk would not be allowed on Forest Preserve
property.
Trustee McInerney recommended the use of the west side of the
Christ Church property, directing the pathway south, and investigate
the present muddy conditions of the pathway on Forest Preserve
property.
Trustee Henry Bronson, Christ Church of Oak Brook, clarified to the
Board of T jL iastees that the right -of -way on the south end of the
Church property is a possibility but has not been approved by the
Church. It would need approval by their Trustees of the Church.
Trustee Kenny requested the Village initiate a proposal to Christ
Church of a proposed pathway along the south end of the Church
property for their consideration and to further request their view of
this option.
Motion by Trustee Kenny, seconded by Trustee Bartecki, that the
Village Board initiate a written formal request to the Trustees of
Christ Church for consideration of an easement across the southern
portion of the Church property between York Road and the area
where the bicycle path exists in the Fullersburg Woods.
Motion by Trustee Kenny, seconded by Trustee Bartecki, to amend
the motion to read: That the Village Board initiate a written formal
request to the Trustees of Christ Church for consideration of routing a
bicycle /pedestrian pathway across the southern portion of the Church
property between York Road and the area where the bicycle path
