The balance of the project is to be funded by a utility tax increase costing the average resident about $84 a year for the next five years. The two special service areas include Colfax, Ridge and Hudson Avenues, Woodstock Avenue between Ogden and Burlington Avenues, Norfolk Avenue between Hiawatha Drive and Golf Avenue, and Ruby Street between Richmond and Walker Avenues. Petitions opposing the special service areas were submitted to the village last week, but residents did not collect enough signatures to stop the effort Shirley Siluk Gregory creased to 5 percent from the 4 percent now added to gas, electric and telephone bills. The in- crease, if adopted, would for the first time apply to long-distance calls and generate an additional $350,000 annually.

The new revenue is a suggest- ed source of funding for the proposed hiring of three more fire- fighters and police officers. Along with funding for personnel, the additional utility tax revenue could justify the elimina- tion of the village's vehicle sticker program. Though generating $200,000 annually, the pro- gram costs $40,000 and is described in the annual report as the "most bothersome and frustrating program for village residents and the most difficult program to administer for staff."

Projections for the 1995-96 fiscal year beginning May 1 indicate revenues should reach $22.9 million (a 9.8 percent increase) and expenses will be $21.9 million (a 9.44 percent increase).

"The village is in good shape, and I'm proud of that" said Village President Rae Rupp Srch. Highlights of the new fiscal year included a suggestion that the village's utility tax be in Clarendon Hills: Village Board members voted Wednesday night to create two special service areas in which property owners will pay an extra tax to finance major road improvements. Construction in the two areas is expected to start around May 1. This year's roadwork is the first part of a five-year, $6.3 million effort to improve streets and drainage throughout the village. The average special service area tax would be less than $160 a year for 15 years, the village estimates.

The village will have a better estimate on the cost to residents in the two new special service areas when they meet Monday to discuss financing for the first I im I IAU JIB I i Vk.v' iitrr Tribune photo by James Mayo Morning after: A campaign sign is relegated to the trash Wednesday in Elmhurst.

By William Grady Tribune Staff Writer DuPage County officials appear to have quickly shelved a $60,000 to remodel the county's over-j crowded juvenile detention facility an attempt to provide temporary quarters for additional youths.

Instead, County Board Chairman Gayle Franzen is expected to announce Thursday an agree- merit with Sheriff Richard Doria that will allow young offenders and suspects to be incarcerated on one floor of the expanded county jail, pending a decision on whether to build a new juvenile facility. Construction of a 450-bed addition to the jail is nearing completion, and sources say the Youth Home overflow will be housed in a portion of the existing jaiL All of the adult inmates will be moved, at least initially, to cell space in the addition. The county's Youth Home was built to accommodate 30 juveniles, but the population has been in the 50s this week, forcing some youths to sleep on mattresses on the floor. At a meeting last week of the County Board's Judicial Committee, preliminary approval was given for plans to remodel the existing facility to provide quarters for an additional 18 youths. The plans, though, apparently were shelved by Franzen.

Details of Franzen's new proposal were expected to be announced at a news conference Thursday. County Board members considered but eventually rejected a proposed referendum last year that would have asked voters to approve a property-tax increase to pay for a 64-bed juvenile facility at an estimated cost of $15 million. State regulations require sepa- 1 imnl-. in iininl rate detention faculties for youths, but staffers note the overcrowding already violates state regulations. In the short term, they say, the county needs to take whatever steps are available to protect youth and Youth Home staff.

Sarallo's send-off: Former Oakbrook Terrace Mayor Richard F. Sarallo was off to prison this week to begin serving a 6-month sentence after pleading guilty to a federal tax charge. But before he left, he was feted at a party two weeks ago attended by about 80 of his closest friends. The party, at Villa Nova restaurant in Villa Park, was hosted by, Roseanne Caslin, wife of Oak-brook Terrace Aid. Steve Caslin; Alice Schellhorn, former youth director; and Nancy Caruso, a former deputy city clerk and unsuccessful candidate for alderman in Tuesday's electioa Aid.

Caslin also appears to have lost his bid for re-election. "Oh, it was great," said Schellhorn. "It was by invitation only. Just a going away party to show him how we still care about him." Sarallo, who was mayor from 1969 to 1993, was sentenced in February after a lengthy federal investigation into his relationship with developers. The DuPage beat: The office of state Rep.

"That's all I have to say." After he was sentenced, Marcello, who has been in custody since his indictment in late 1992, waved and blew a kiss to relatives as federal marshals led him to a lockup.

Vogel sought the maximum 14-year prison term, saying that for society's sake "I have to do everything I can to incapacitate Mr. Marcello as long as I can." Plunkett didn't impose a fine, noting that Marcello, Carlisi and two top aides have agreed to forfeit a combined $500,000 in illicit profits to authorities. Marcello and Carlisi were convicted of plotting the murder of former gangland associate Anthony Daddino because of fears Dad-dino would cooperate with law enforcement after his 1989 extortion conviction. They also were convicted of financing longtime gangster Lenny Patrick's juice-loan business with $200,000 in cash, and ordering Patrick to cause trouble for the owners of the Lake Theater in Oak Park during a union dispute. Carlisi has yet to be' sentenced.

PHONE CENTER By Matt O'Connor Tribune Staff Writer James Marcello, who prosecu-" tors say is the Chicago area's sec- ond-ranking mobster, was sen-. tenced Wednesday to 12 Vi years in prison for running bookmaking, street-tax and juice-loan opera-. tions in western Cook County and DuPage County. Law enforcement officials said that, in line with gangland tradi-' tion, Marcello, of Lombard, acted as chauffeur, bodyguard and con-- fidant to Sam Carlisi when Carlisi was the boss for several years in the late 1980s, and was Carlisi's heir apparent. In his younger days, Carlisi was a driver for one of the mob bosses he succeeded, Joseph Auippa, said Assistant U.S.

Atty. Mark Vogel and FBI Special Agent Keith Lourdeau. Marcello, 51, and Carlisi, 73, were convicted in late 1993 on federal charges of racketeering, gambling, loan-sharking, extortion and arson. A jury found them and five other members of Carlisi's street crew guilty of relying on violence, intimidation and threats to collect gambling and juice-oan debts from 1979 through mid-1990.
