MOTION CARRIED 4. MAYOR & BOARD OF TRUSTEES' REPORT Mayor Johnson — Attended the Wreaths Across America event at the Elk Grove Cemetery that took place on December 18, 2021. After getting together with my family during the holidays, my family and I got Covid. We are all vacinated. There is a lot of information out there and it changes frequently regarding Covid. We are still mask optional, please wear a mask if you feel the need to. I still believe in vaccinations. Tustee Miller- I agree with the Mayor on Covid, this is going to be with us and we need to move on. Sunday, January 9, was Law Enforcement Appreciation Day. Thank you to all the law enforcement in the Village for keeping us safe and happy. Trustee Franke — No Report. Trustee Feichter — Read today that Great Britain is calling the pandemic the endemic and we are not going to get rid of it, just like the flu and we have to learn to live with it. There has been a big increase with kids taking medications that they shouldn't be taking. People are coming to the Elk Grove Cares Program with alcohol problems that they didn't have before the pandemic. Mayor Johnson- The CDC just released numbers since the beginning of Covid in January of 2020 thru December 29, 2021. In two years, children ages 0-18, 803 have died of Covid and in 2018-2019, 745 kids died of the flu. Trustee Lissner — The latest Strictly Business Podcast was released on 5th of January. The Mayor was interviewed by Nick Radcliffe, Business Development, and the subject was the 2021 Year End Review. Trustee Prochno — I also contracted Covid last week. I don't think I did anything wrong. I masked up, I had my vaccinations and booster. I believe everyone will be exposed to this in one form or another. I think having the vaccination and booster actually made my case very mild. I was pleased to see that after the last snowfall, many of our residents shoveled their sidewalks and were helping their neighbors. Then the Saturday night ice storm hit so I am adding a request to please salt the walkways while you are out shoveling. The winter Farmers Market is open the 1 st and 3rd Saturday of the month at Christus Victor Page 1 of 5 Church on Arlington Heights Road across from the movie theater, 8:00 am to 1:00 pm. Mayor Johnson- Mayor thanked Colby and the Public Works team for their work during the recent ice storm. They stayed on top of it and did a great job. Trustee Schmidt — Absent. 5.
