SIGN ORDINANCE
Jim Nanninga, Bill Dettmer, and Jeff Palmquist met to discuss the
recommendations they will be giving the Planning Council on a new
sign ordinance. They will also present the ordinance to the
Building and Zoning/Economic and Development Committee and the
Chamber will also be invited to the meeting. Jim Nanninga asked for
all the proposed recommendations to be given to the Planning
Council before next weeks meeting, so they can read them over
before the Tuesday meeting.
FOX HILL
Jeff Palmquist voiced some concerns with the annexation and P.U.D.
agreement. Jeff feels it does not cover the issue of the multi-
family area and the issue of sidewalks. It does cover the single
family homes . Bill Schamanski suggested that we have an attorney
interpret the annexation agreement. Jim Nanninga will attempt to
speak to Dan Kramer about this issue. Jeff also wants to see
minimum sidewalks on both sides of the street and feels either
concept will work as far as the city is concerned. Jim Nanninga
said Jim Madden called and will have everything ready for next
weeks Planning Council Meeting.
NILES/OLIVER
Jim Nanninga informed Council that they are meeting today at 2 :00
to go over the cost survey with Niles, Oliver. Jim did find out
that our increase for the road is 36% . Detention will be talked
about today at the meeting. Bill Schmanski stated that our
standards match the rest of North East Illinois . Discussion
followed on how surrounding towns have handled costs .
Jim Nanninga said he had received a letter from Dick Young about
the woods on the property and he was very positive in that letter.
LAND CASH
Jim Nanninga said it should be the schools initiative and he had
called Dr. Engler and he will handle it.

PALMER DAM
Tony Graff said he had been in contact with the Department of Water
Resources about the dam. Tony feels like it is the actual river
bottom that is the problem and not the flow of the river. Jim
Nanninga asked about the plan to stabilize the banks and have a ADA
accessible canoe ramp. Tony Graff said the city had to deny the
gant from the Department of Conservation due to the pending
litigation on the drownings. There can be no improvements until
litigation is finished and the Department of Conservation
understood this . Tony said he will also try to get Tom Cross
involved on our behalf.
Jim Nanninga adjourned the meeting at 9 :55 AM
