Public Commentary
Residents JB and Francie Feeney shared their concerns about the property at 10 Orchard Lane. The shed
on this property has holes and several different animals have been sighted underneath the shed.
Numerous attempts contacting the homeowners have yielded no solutions. Building Commissioner,
Brett Karson has reviewed the shed with the Feeneys and stated that several village ordinances are
being violated and is a public nuisance.
In addition, people are staying in the house at 10 Orchard Lane without a certificate of occupancy. Since
no one has lived in the house for over 2 month, the Feeneys are considering this house vacant and
according to village ordinance, the owners are required to come up with a plan for their property. The
Feeneys are looking for help from the board to get resolution on the shed issue and to understand
status of their occupancy.
Trustee Kapica will discuss with Brett Karson, our Building Commissioner and President Williams for
input on this topic and reply to the Feeneys.
Attorney Huvard will review the information on this property and determine what legal avenues could
be explored.
Trustee Walker raised an issue regarding the owner of 65 Park Lane who is not taking action on
demolishing the house as was stipulated in the village agreement with the owner. The board agreed
that a stop work order should be issued. Trustee Kapica will communicate to Building Commissioner,
Brett Karson to issue the red tag.
Police Report
Chief Volling presented the monthly report. A copy of the report can be found at the village hall.
Chief Volling reported that the old squad was sold through auction for $2250.
He stated that traffic citation tickets have risen from 12 in June 2013 to 71 this June and is due to
increased enforcement on Overlook Drive to address continued traffic cutting through the village. For
citations which end up in court, the most recent judge fined the offenders only $6 for this violation. The
result is significant time spent by the officers for very low ticket fines. Trustee Walker asked Chief
Volling to draft a recommendation on how to handle ticket charges ongoing.
Another topic which was discussed was the high speed limit on Golf Road which leads to frequent
accidents and which Chief Volling cited two recent examples. Resident Tony Kalogerakos offered to
work on a project to research reducing the speed limit on Golf Road including contacting other
surrounding communities for data.
Trustee Walker identified an action item for President Williams to pursue the Golf Road speed limit
project with the Glen View Club, Tony Kalogerakos and Chief Volling.
Treasurer’s Report
Bill Peck, Village Treasurer presented the monthly treasurer’s report. A detailed treasurer’s report can
be found at the village hall and online.

E. Attorney Huvard explained changes made to the Village’s existing personnel policy. Many
sections of the old manual were outdated and have been updated and new sections added to
reflect current topics. Much of the review process was spent on retirement, salaries and

what to pay part time officers for court time and the board agreed that officers should receive a
fixed 3 hours pay at straight time for court time. The manual will be updated to reflect this
change.
