home in the Branigar Subdivision described as a disaster and a health hazard.
Mayor Johnson said that the Village is well aware of the house that she is referencing and the
Village is also frustrated. The Village is working on a program that will come out in the next
couple of months to address this type of issue for homes in Elk Grove. Since that house is in
the Branigar Subdivision, we have contacted the county but do not have jurisdiction over those
homes.
Helen Leski had another concern about the Post Office delivering her mail over a month late.
Mayor Johnson said that the Village has no jurisdiction over the Post Office since it is under the
Federal Government. Mayor recommended for the residents to reach out to Congressman Raja
for assistance on any Post Office matters.
Helen Leski stated that she has one final problem with residents allowing their pets to urinate on
her plants and flowers in her front yard. She asked if she can put up a sign that says "Keep Pets
Off Property"?
Mayor said that the Village puts articles in the newsletters to remind pet owners to be respectful

to their neighbor's property.

administered to the following:
Jeff Franke — Village Trustee — He thanked the community for their support through the years
and announced that this will be his last term as a Trustee on the Board.
Christine Prochno — Village Trustee - Announced that this will be her last term also as a Village
Trustee. Congratulations to Mayor Johnson, Trustee Feichter, and Trustee Franke on their
reelection to the Board. It is an honor to serve another four years with the strongest and best
board that we have ever had. Thank you to everyone for your continued support.
Pat Feichter — Village Trustee announced that I have been on this board for over 24 years and
also served on the Plan Commission for 7 years. Thank you to the residents of Elk Grove for
supporting me and the others and keeping us on the board.
Jennifer Mahon, Deputy Clerk administered the Oath of Office to Mayor Craig Johnson.
This Village has done well these past four years. We went through groups of people trying to
break this community apart and we went through a great pandemic. This Village has come out
stronger than ever before. This Village has never been as united as it is now.
On behalf of the entire Board Mayor thanked the Village, the residents, and his family for their
continued support.
