PAGE 4 - PLAINDEALER - WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 22,1973 McCullom Lake Gerry Milbratz 385-8543 Lively Board Meeting Attended By Large Crowd Questions. comments, complaints and criticism from both sides of the table resulted in one of the liveliest board meetings in recent years. There was standing room only as forty people attended the meeting Aug. 14. Trustee Ray Lary was acting chairman, because President Luto was on vacation When routine business and reports were over, audience-comments were in­ vited Don Milbratz asked why he had not been made police chief, after he had been responsible for the police department for almost a year. The answer given was that he didn't have the experience or thequaiifications for the job. At this point, there was much discussion, sometimes heated, on the operations of the police department Although board members detailed some criticism of Mr. Milbratz. most of the audience felt he had done a good job as acting chief It was generally agreed that a police depart­ ment should work in­ dependently in enforcing the law. without being influenced by others. The new police officers in­ troduced themselves to the audience. They are Chief Walter Conrad of McHenry. who gave a brief background of his experience, concluding with his last job as chief of police in Lakemoor. Office Jim Schultz. who says he is a rookie, but willing to learn and do a good job. And Office Ralph Regner, who lives on Maple Hill and formerly worked for the Island Lake Police department Questions were asked, regarding the hours the police would work, some of their policies, and their salaries. It has been past practice for new- patrolmen to go through a probationary period before receiving compensation, but Mr. Lary said the new officers are being paid now, because of the responsibility they've had to assume. Other money matters brought up included payment of village funds for outside purposes, which Mr. Lary said would be rectified; salaries of a liquor commission, which almost equal liquor revenue, and the cost of road repair. All in all, it was a very in­ teresting. and enlightening meeting, due to the enthusiastic participation of so many concerned residents. Mr. Lary said he was very pleased with such a large turnout and hopes people will continue to attend. From comments heard af­ terwards, I 'm sure they will.

The nomination and election was voted upon to be Sept. 8 with a picnic following. New 1974 officers are needed to guide our subdivision. Consider the of­ fices o of president, vice- president secretary, treasurer and financial secretary. The leftover rummage from the five and ten cent garage sale will be donated to charitable organizations. The children's clothing was taken to the Woodstock Children's Home by Dolores Jaburek and Betty Knaack. Helen Mohlman will give the adult clothing to Goodwill. An important discussion of snow plowing was brought up by those attending the meeting. As was stated previously many residents have not paid their dues for this year as yet. As a result it was felt that the paying members should not have to carry the load for the rest of the residents who have not paid. Snow plowing will be as follows: streets will be open for traffic, but no plowing on non- paying residents' side of the street will be done. This will still enable fire and police protection because the road will be open to other traffic. The decision was passed by the majority of people with only two dissenting votes. Be aware of this now so that when snow flies everybody will know the procedure. Our subdivision is growing and more cooperation is needed to carry out the functions of the total community. Come to a meeting and be heard. WEED REMOVAL The McCullom Lake Con­ servation Club is asking homeowners and subdivisions from each side of the lake to contribute any money they can to help pay for the removal of the unsightly weeds on the lake.
