Midsummer Classics Concert Series, the Village partners with the Lions Club for the 41h of July
concert and will now partner with the Rotary Club for a concert during RotaryFest. The
weather is unpredictable in the month of June, so the Village is going to try RotaryFest in July
for the next four years to see if the weather improves. The 2022 Midsummer Classics Concert
Series will have the first concert at Rotary Green for the 4th of July with fireworks, the second
concert will be on the Village Green, the third concert will be at Rotary Green during
RotaryFest, and the fourth concert will be on the Village Green.

test into the sanitary sewer system to detect openings that allow rainfall or groundwater to enter

the Village's sanitary sewer system. Smoke will appear where there are defects in the main
sewer line or sewer service connections. This testing helps make the sanitary sewer system
more efficient and effective.
Olympic Medals — The Business Journal Magazine looked at all the sponsors of team events
and totaled the number of medals. Elk Grove Village had the fourth most medals by the teams
that they sponsored for the Olympics. Events are continuing with the Olympic athletes with a
Run, Jump & Throw event in October and a Wrestling Clinic at Elk Grove and Conant High
School in November.

best offer that includes every resident to receive a garbage and recycling container free of
charge. Nothing changes with what is placed at the curb but they will accept up to two
electronic items, under 50 pounds, every week. Yard waste stickers will continue but the rate
will freeze for the entire 8 years of the contract. If you are a senior, you will receive a 10%
discount and the contract will begin on November 1.
