IM <br />REGULAR MEETING <br />JUNE 13, 1988 <br />In response to Mr. Leszczynski's inquiries, Ms. Bilinski advised <br />that her boyfriend's address is 809 Sylvan Lane and that the <br />700-800 blocks were asked to be closed as the street is an arc <br />street and to prevent any vehicles from coming down the street <br />both the 700 and 800 blocks were asked to be closed as the blocks <br />are not divided by an intersection. <br />Mrs. DeClercq stated that she has several concerns regarding this <br />request. She indicated that it appears that most of the people <br />signing the Petition live on the 700 block of Sylvan Lane. It <br />was discovered, however, that Mrs. DeClercq did not have the <br />second page of the Petition which indicated that an additional <br />six (6) residents living in the 800 block of Sylvan Lane signed <br />the Petition. She stated that her other concerns were the use of <br />illegal fireworks in the past and their potential use this year, <br />that the hours for the street closure are too long and beyond the <br />normal hours for street closures approved by the Board in the <br />past and concerns about the possible violation of the City's <br />noise ordinance. <br />Therefore, based on the comments heard and the concerns raised, <br />Mrs. DeClercq suggested that the Board take this request under <br />advisement for one (1) week in order to obtain more information <br />and determine what action should be taken. Therefore, upon a <br />motion made by Mrs. DeClercq, seconded by Mr. Leszczynski and <br />carried, the request was taken under advisement for one (1) week <br />until the next regular meeting of the Board in order that the <br />Board can make a decision in the best interests of everyone <br />involved. <br />AWARD PROPOSAL - LEASE PURCHASE FINANCING - FIRE DEPARTMENT <br />RESCUE UNIT <br />Mr. Leszczynski advised that Mr. Steve White, City <br />Auditor/Investment Officer has recommended that the Board award <br />the Proposal submitted by Security Pacific Leasing Corporation, <br />2340 Des Plaines Avenue, Suite 106, Des Plaines, Illinois, for <br />the lease purchase financing of a Fire Department Rescue Unit. <br />Mr. White advised that the Proposal submitted by Security Pacific <br />Leasing Corporation, indicating an interest rate of of 7.73% with <br />semi-annual payments of $18,484.00 for three (3) years for a <br />total cost of $110,904.00 was the lowest Proposal received. <br />Therefore, upon a motion made by Ms. Humphreys, seconded by Mrs. <br />DeClercq and carried, the recommendation was accepted and the <br />Proposal awarded. <br />APPROVE RELEASE OF EASEMENT - 1ST E/W ALLEY N.
