SPAGE 16-PLAINDEALER-FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 1973 COUNCIL DEBATES • FAIR PRICES FOR WATER SYSTEM (Continued from page 1) Main street for that period of time. At the last Council meeting, two bids wefe received on water main crossings west of the tracks on Route 120. Since the figures seemed out of line, the Council authorized the city engineer to review the bids. The engineers reported that bid prices were considerably higher than the value of the work. Meyer was authorized to try negotiating the bids in an attempt to reach a satisfactory price. The city approved a petition for annexation of a lot located at 715 N. Lillian street and okayed a city sewer hook-up at that same location. According to law, the annexation will not be effective until the day after election. The Council authorized payment of $1,883.47 which includes pro-rating taxes and title costs for a lot at the corner of Willow and Beach, Lakeland Park. The land is needed to insure proper installation of the drainage ditch project. A communication was read from Mrs. Helen Justen stating that John Fuhler had pur­ chased her lot at the corner of Elm and Green street which the city had been using as a parking lot. The city was given thirty days notice of the sale. Alderman Harker presented a topic for Council con­ sideration in the future. He urged that when subdivisions come before the Council, special attention should be given to devloper's plans for nature trails or bike paths. They can be a problem in years to come. Cutting the grass, keeping weeds down and caring for trees are a few of the problems he cited which might arise. He feels the board should consider a policy establishing respon­ sibility for maintenance of these trails. * "That and the location of street lights should be a part of the plan before we approve them in future developments," Harker emphasized. Stanek noted that in the spring, much debris comes floating down Boone creek. He asked that Meyer look into the possibility of putting up some sort of net at the walk bridge on North avenue to catch bran­ ches, logs, etc. City crews would make weekly stops to keep the water running free. Following the regular meeting, a letter written to Mayor Doherty by City At­ torney John Looze was distributed to aldermen and members of the press. Looze was unable to be present at the meeting. His letter expressed concern with a "particular inaccuracy" which appeared in an article in the Waukegan-News Sun, Feb. 7, regarding a City Council story concerning Looze's rol£ in parking lot negotiations. COUNTY BOARD OKAYS NEW LEVY (Continued from page 1) board, written by Board of Review Chairman G. Watson Lowe. It expressed his dissatisfaction with the meeting of Feb. 13, calling it "shameful and a disgrace, not a meeting one should be proud of". That meeting was largely devoted to assessment procedures in the county and, in particular, with questions directed to Supervisor of Assessments Stanley Cornue. Action was taken on several zoning petitions. Approval was given to Phillip M. and Maureen E. Doherty for a reclassification from "F" farming to "B-3", business property on Rt. 31, north of Idyll Dell road, to use as a machine shop to employ not more than ten persons. Another approval was given to the request of John Hawley, Jr., and G. Davidson as trustees and Northern Pump Co. for conditional use permit for property south and west of Wonder Lake and McCullom Lake roads. The petitioners ask permission to operate this as a restricted landing strip, to which use it has been put for about seventeen years. The board denied the request Don't Miss The Savings At CAREY Appliance Today & Tomorrow (Feb. 23, 24) 1241 Green McHenry of Forrest L. and Diane M. Stauffer for a conditional use permit for property at the northwest corner of Oak and East Wonder Lake roads to conduct a real estate office and agency. The area is predominately residential at this time. Another petition was held over until the next meeting. It was the request of Melvin V. and Evelyn J. Harms and Robert and Lynette Banasack for reclassification of property from "F" farming to "B-3", or in the alternative, a conditional use permit. The property, containing about sixty acres, borders on Wilmot road, near the Wisconsin state line. The petitioners hope to create an area which can be used for the riding of snowmobiles and mini bikes. SUMMER MUSIC, ART SCHOLARSHIPS MADE AVAILABLE (Continued from page 1) Western Illinois university located at Macomb, June 24-30, for any band member that might be chosen. If a choir member wins the music stholarship, he will attend the choir camp held at Western Illinois university July 1-7. Any freshman, sophomore, junior or senior may apply for this music scholarship. The other scholarship will be gi\%i to a high school art student. The summer art program will be held at Western Illinois university July 8-15. All Wonder Lake high school students are invited to try for these two scholarships. They will be given by the Woman's club of Wonder Lake and will pay full tuition, room and board for the two full week programs. The winning students will have to provide their own transportation to and from Western Illinois university and any spending money they wish to take. Interested students are asked to submit a resume, including their class standing, grade point average, how long they have been interested in music or art, any honors received, any work done outside of school on their art or music, and why they would like to attend a summer program. Students may contact Mrs. Richard Mikus, 7811 W. Chestnut Drive, Wonder Lake. All resumes should be received by March 2. HEALTH PLANNING The annual meeting of the C o m p r e h e n s i v e H e a l t h Planning agency will be held Monday night, Feb. 26, in the Crystal Lake high school cafeteria at 8 p.m. According to John J. Schultz, D.D.S., president of the agency, the agenda covers election of of­ ficers and board members, report on activities during the APPROVE EXTENSIVE EAST CAMPUS CHANGES^ (Continued from page 1) discipline, with emphasis on student expulsion procedure. Realizing that the student's lack of education, inability to adjust to the school situation and in many cases his anti­ social behaviour will likely result in a considerable cost to society at a later date, the school will be viewed as the most effective social agency dealing with the community's youth. Therefore, the addition to the school philosophy states that "expulsion should be a result of behavior which en­ dangers the physical or mental well being or disturbs the educational opportunity of the student body or the student himself". A new smoking policy was adopted. It calls for the school to provide the student with an awareness of the established dangers of smoking. Student smoking will be prohibited in the building and on the grounds of East campus. It will be allowed in a designated outside area at West campus. The new policy noted that establishment of this area should not be interpreted as an endorsement of tobacco smoking, "but rather as the realization that high school juniors and seniors have made a decision regarding this personal habit and a controlled area is provided to protect students from expulsion and m a i n t a i n s m o k e - f r e e washrooms for the remainder of the student body." An unidentified parent present at the meeting pointed out that in his opinion this policy condoned smoking. President James Althoff insisted this was not the case. "This is just keeping them out of the wash room and the butts off the floor", Althoff said. Special procedures for handling bomb threats were dropped at this time, but the policy will be brought up for review annually. It was decided that shoes- must be worn at East campus as part of the dress code. Complaints have been received that some students have been walking about in bare feet. Categories of records on students were explained Cumulative data, which in­ cludes official administrative records, may be available for inspection by a student and-or parent. Temporary records may not be inspected by a student or parents without the assistance of appropriately past year, discussion on how the community can become involved in comprehensive health planning and presen­ tation of project goals for the coming year. trained professional personnel capable of assuring accurate* interpretation of this data. Authorization was approved to secure bids for tax an­ ticipation warrants not to exceed an amount of $500,000 against the ft72 Education fund levy and $100,000 against the 1972 Building fund levy. It is expected that the first warrant will be utilized for the April 30 payouts. Approval was given to a request of Principal Gary Fields at East campus to place a carbonated beverage and candy vending machine in the student commons cafeteria. A percentage of the profit from these machines, equal to the per cent of time they are open during lunch, will be deposited in the school lunch program account. The resignation of Randall Josserand English teacher at East campus since 1964, was accepted, effective June 8. Mrs. Josephine Ann Pace was employed as an educational assistant in the Guidance department - at East, replacing Mrs. Nancy Ewald, who resigned. Among other non-certified employees, Donald Zimantas was named to replace Casimer Kasprzyk as custodian at East campus; Mrs. Maria Heiser will replace Mrs. Anna Kopp as an educational assistant in East and Mrs. Betty Faber will take the place of Mrs. G e o r g e t t e M a r z a n o / a s s u p e r v i s o r y e d u c a t i o n a l assistant at East. In other business, it was agreed to review all annual maintenance policies on the building and equipment, in­ cluding office equipment. Althoff noted that although the district has policies in force, in cases of urgency the school must seek help locally. He questioned paying for services not received. A recreation period is planned for District 156 em­ ployees Sunday afternoon on a trial basis. The gym and pool will be opened to employees only. A March 7 educational meeting is planned to provide the board with an explanation of the various Work Experience programs. Supt. Swantz also will explain the new state guidelines for evaluation, supervision and recognition of schools. Copies of a letter in support of a bill drafted to support the position of the Dual-Unit Equality organization was distributed. Adoption of this amendment to the existing school aid formula would result in about $104,000 additional revenue to the district. Also, there is another series of bills in the Legislature which would result in raising the foundation level from $520 to $600, add on percentages and lower qualifying rates, all of which would result in excess of $180,000 additional revenue to the district each year.
