4. MAYOR & BOARD OF TRUSTEES' REPORT
Mayor Johnson — Delivered a State of the Village Address today to the seniors at the Hattendorf
Center. The Village continues to make plans for the summer events and our hope is to have
masks optional but vaccinations are the key for us to move forward.
The second doses from the Vaccination Clinic will be held on Wednesday, May 5, at the Park
District Pavilion. Mayor thanked the employees and volunteers for making the clinic such a
huge success. Vaccinations are readily available now for anyone that is interested in getting the
vaccine. Elk Grove has partnered with Jewel/Osco to assist residents that are homebound to
receive a vaccine. Residents can call the Village to make an appointment for someone to come
out to your home to administer the vaccine. The goal for the Village is to open up safely and
have the community events masks optional. We are firm but flexible and will make adjustments
as needed.
Swearing Ins - Kathy Jarosch was appointed to the Library Board to fill the vacancy with the
passing of Don Henderson. She will serve for two years then run in the next election to
continue the six -year term. Mayor Johnson delivered the Oath of Office to Kathy Jarosch.
Police Chief Walsh joined Mayor Johnson at the podium to swear in the following new Police
Officers: Meghan Lowry, Michael Manolitsis, Kyle Besthoff, Alex Conglin, and Byron Leon.

project in Elk Grove.

parents and a baseball team practicing on the ball field over the weekend. Many people were
