4. MAYOR & BOARD OF TRUSTEES' REPORT
Mayor Johnson — The Village has worked with the Kenneth Young Center and placed a Narcan
vending machine outside the Police IC to assist residents as needed. There is no cost, and the
Police Officers are trained if they need assistance and provides them information about the Elk
Grove Cares program. Recently Someone took a Narcan kit for a relative that they were
concerned about. A day or two later they applied Narcan to the person that overdosed and saved
that person's life.

RotaryFest took place since the last board meeting. The All American Rejects is one of our
concerts that played on Thursday, July 20. There were over 20,000 people on Thursday and the
Rotary Club raised more money that day than any of the other days of RotaryFest. We will be
doing it again next year. Almost 80% of the money earned goes to Elk Grove Community
charities. The summer concerts keep getting better and next year's lineup will be our biggest
ever. Senator Laura Murphy gave us a $200,000 grant toward funding the concerts and for
anyone that plays video gaming or stays in our hotels or smokes - Thank you. That's where all

the money comes from to put these shows on.

name in its entirety or parts of a couple of names, and we reserve the right to take none of the
names. So, starting tomorrow go to E1kGrove.org and you will find a link that you can submit
an idea. The contest will remain open until September 15 at 5:00 p.m. Wingspan has been
meeting with all the tenants and things are working out very well.
We also had a meeting with District 59 to discuss the number of Student Resource Officers
(SRO) officers they want this school year. We recommend that the parents get involved to have
an SRO for each school. Student Resource Officers talk to the kids and get involved with the
kids.
The Police Department issued 158 seat belt citations during the recent Independence Day "Click
It or Ticket" safety campaign. The campaign took place between June 16 and July 5, 2023.
