4. MAYOR & BOARD OF TRUSTEES' REPORT
Mayor Johnson — We had our Parade a couple of weeks ago for Septemberfest and everything
went very well.
Anyone that lives on the east side of 53 is in School District 59. School District 59 is considering
major changes in the schools. Please be aware of what is going on and be involved with your
schools.
Gift Cards — Thank you to the residents that are thanking us for the gift cards but this is your
money that we are giving back. The Mayor spoke about how well the Village is doing and
explained the reason for the gift cards.
The Village will have the 2nd Town Hall Meeting on Thursday, October 13, at 7:00 p.m. in
Council Chambers.
Many people have been talking about the new laws coming January 1. We all know that catalytic
converter thefts are common in our area. Mayor stated that Arlington Heights recently had a theft
where guns were on them and some of the suspects have had 20-30 prior arrests.
Chief Walsh has been in the papers recently due to the 40th Anniversary of the Tylenol Murders.
Mayor read a proclamation honoring the victims. The very first victim was an Elk Grove
resident. There are now seals on all of the over the counter drugs and prescriptions due to this
incident.
The Rose Garden Cafd is moving down to the Sweet Baby Ray's location. The Village bought
the Sweet Baby Ray's location and worked out an exchange program that Rose Garden will work
out of that location no later than April 1, 2023. Please save November 9th open to review all the
submittals for the Arlington Higgins Shopping Center. Chris & Alex of Rose Garden and George
did a great job redesigning Sweet Baby Ray's into the Rose Garden Cafe theme.
Migrant update — There are no more migrants that have come to Elk Grove. We spoke to the
Governor's Office and we now have a point of contact with the state that can answer questions
for us in a timely manner. The people on site will contact Marty at the Village to inform us what
they need. Anybody that is interested in volunteering or would like to assist you can reach Marty
Vela at 847-357-4120. We cannot take used clothes.
Trustee Franke — Oktoberfest was a huge success with the nice weather and everyone coming out
Page 1 of 6
after the parade. This event would not have gone off without the help of every one of the Village
employees that participated.
Trustee Miller — It was my first Oktoberfest with my grandchildren and it was fun with the
characters and bounce houses. I met some residents there that were extremely proud to live in Elk
Grove Village.
Trustee Feichter — The next Villager newsletter was mailed and it is filled with a lot of
information about activities in the Village.
On October 22, the Community Character Coalition will be asking for contributions at the Jewel
to help restock the food pantry.
Trustee Schmidt — Attended the Open House on September 15 at the Northwest Central Dispatch
to celebrate their 50 years in operation. Elk Grove was one of three communities that started the
Central Dispatch System and now there are 12 agencies. They are the lifeline for our first
responders.
Trustee Lissner — A few days ago I ran into a longtime Parade Committee member who said that
this was the best parade since being on the committee. Thank you to Trustee Franke and staff on
the Oktoberfest event.
Trustee Prochno — In reference to the Parade and Oktoberfest, I want to thank the CERT
volunteers (Citizens Emergency Response Team) that have gone through quite a lot of training to
be able to assist the Village in times of emergencies, help with traffic control or just providing an
extra hand. They are a wonderful organization and if anyone is interested in joining, you can
contact the Elk Grove Police Department.
The outdoor Farmers Market is open on Saturdays, from 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. on the Village
Green through October 15 and they will finish off with their traditional Halloween Parade.
