CITIZEN COMMENTS/PRESENTATIONS Janet Agnoletti, Executive Director of the Barrington Area Council of Governments, addressed the Board. She referred to the monthly BACOG report and then reviewed the 2013 BACOG Legislative Platform, asking the Board for any questions. President Munao asked the Board if they were familiar enough with the platform to give direction tonight on the Village s position. MOTION to DIRECT VILLAGE PRESIDENT TO VOTE IN THE AFFIRMATIVE ON THE 2013 LEGISLATIVE PLATFORM AT THE NEXT BACOG MEETING was made by Trustee Abbate. By unanimous voice vote, the motion carried. Janet Agnoletti then updated the Board on the proposed Insurance Auto Auction (IAA) development in East Dundee. Barrington Hills, and then BACOG, became very concerned over possible contamination to the aquifers by drainage from the hundreds of damaged vehicles to be stored at the facility. Ms. Agnoletti provided background on the issue. The site is partially located in a designated Class III Special Resource Groundwater area, and therefore subject to protections by the IEPA. The IEPA cannot mandate prevention measures, but if any contamination or threat of such occurs, the IEPA can then step in and close the business. IAA and the IEPA are currently discussing what engineering measures would accomplish the IEPA recommendations for groundwater protection. Discussion ensued. Ms. Agnoletti suggested calls by President Munao to the Village of East Dundee would be helpful. President Munao suggested all the BACOG mayors should attend an East Dundee Board meeting, even if IAA is not on the agenda. President Munao asked if anyone else would like to address the Board; there were no questions or general comments from the audience.

President Munao and Administrator Masciola updated the Board on Hoffman Estates proposed rezoning the property west of the Target store at Routes 59 and 72. President Munao and Administrator Masciola had met with Hoffman Estate s Mayor and Manager. Hoffman Estates said that there are no immediate plans for the area, but that they wanted to have an entertainment district in place, and see if there are changes in the economic picture. The original 20-year agreement on the property expired. EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT President Munao reported that he will again be taking classes next week. President Munao stated that he thought the water and sanitary sewer easements concerning the Autumn Leaves development would soon be forthcoming from The Arboretum. Kay Adkins, of The LaSalle Group, and other representatives for the development were in tonight s audience. They wanted to have the documents from last month s Board meeting signed tonight, in order to proceed with funding. However, the wording from last month s motions prohibited the President signing off on the other documents until an approved and fully executed grant of easement was provided. Attorney Storino clarified the situation, and said that the Board could remove the conditions, however, since that action was not on tonight s agenda, it could not be done at this meeting. He suggested a Special Board meeting. President Munao polled the Board to arrange a time for a Special Meeting. It was set for Monday morning. Trustee McCombie asked if they required any special wording incase the easements did not go through. President Munao discussed the engineering report, and his conversations with The Arboretum. He said there are five remaining issues with The Arboretum, none of which seem to affect getting the easement, and he thinks the issues can be resolved. Trustee McCombie asked if there was a time limit involved in getting the easements. There is not, and Kay Adkins added that the development would probably not start building until March.
