MAYOR & BOARD OF TRUSTEES' REPORT Mayor Johnson — On April 29, Mayor Johnson and Craig, Jr. co -hosted the Elk Grove High School wrestling meet on EGTV. There was a great turnout for the Coffee with the Board on May 1. The winner of the USA Triathlon Entrepreneur of the Year Competition was announced. It was a business from Chicago that had created an innovative training method for triathlons that can be done indoors in a small space. Tonight, Jorja Villagomez is our Assistant Mayor for the Evening from Queen of the Rosary. Jorja obtained this opportunity at an auction fundraiser at Queen of the Rosary last year. During the Fiscal Year from May 1 through April 30, even in the height of the pandemic, the Village had the largest construction value in the history of the Village. Almost $340,000,000 was being constructed in Elk Grove this past year. The Village also generated $4.1 million in permits. The Elk Grove Business Park is doing well even with the effects of the pandemic. In Elk Grove Village, we support the Police Officers 100% on the great job that they are doing. Mayor thanked the Police Department for the services that they provide to the community and Assistant Mayor Jorja handed each officer present some chocolates. The vaccination clinic brought in over 4,000 people between the two days. Osco Drug did a fabulous job and the clinics went smoothly. Mayor read a letter from the Sheila Ray Center thanking the Village and the Elk Grove Park District for hosting the clinics. Thank you also to the volunteers that dedicated their time to keep operations running smoothly. Since vaccinations are available everywhere now, the Village is moving forward with special events. Remember to bring your green ribbon from the parkway tree to the 41h of July concert. If you no longer have a green ribbon, bring a small piece of green paper instead. There will be a place to turn in your ribbon in exchange for a ticket. The Trustees will draw numbers before the concert for residents to receive $100 gift certificates to Elk Grove restaurants that Mayor Johnson is personally purchasing. The fireworks shows will be larger this year to celebrate coming out of this pandemic. Jorja Villagomez — Assistant Mayor thanked the Mayor and Board of Trustees for giving her the opportunity to be here. Jorja is a 5th grade student at Queen of the Rosary School and is planning to be a lawyer someday. Jorja asked the board if it was possible to install safety call Pagel of 5 buttons linked to the police station at every park similar to the college campuses. She would like to feel safer at the parks with a call button when she and her friends are in danger. Mayor stated that staff will look into the possibility and commended Jorja for bringing that to their attention. Jorja will be informed of the findings and if the call buttons end up being installed, Jorja will be the first to press the button. Trustee Franke — That was the best Mayor's Report and certainly the shortest that I have ever heard. Trustee Feichter - The President from Meet Chicago Northwest, Dave Parulo, is moving to Oregon for a new position and they are currently reviewing applications. Trustee Czarnik — The 2021 Czarnik-Heffern Scholarship Award winners were selected yesterday. I am pleased to announce that Jessica Ann Miller, Meghan Ja, Jessica Malecki, Lauren Yuan, Ashley Cyr, Lily Hirsch and Lillianne Devereux are all seniors at Conant High School; also Alissa Trausch, Gavin McCory and Alexander Olson are seniors at Elk Grove High School. This year our students had a difficult year due to the pandemic and the committee felt they deserved a helping hand to attain their academic endeavors, so it was decided to give out ten (10) $1,000 scholarship awards for 2021. As a reminder, the date for the Czarnik-Heffern Golf Outing, which raises funds for these scholarships, will take place on Friday, August 6, 2021. Please mark your calendars and plan to attend. Trustee Lissner — This week I noticed that May 9-15 is National Police Week. It is intended to pay special attention to those law enforcement officers who have lost their lives in the line of duty. As Mayor Johnson mentioned, we support our Police Officers 100% and my deepest respect and thanks goes to the men and women of the Elk Grove Police Department for protecting our safety in so many ways. Trustee Prochno — The Farmers Market will start on Saturday, June 5, from 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. in the parking lot of the Village Hall.

On Monday, May 31, we will have our 23`d annual Memorial Day Observation indoors at the Park District Pavilion.
