4. MAYOR & BOARD OF TRUSTEES' REPORT
Mayor Johnson – Last year our construction value at this point was $153 million and we
collected $1.9 million in fees. During the same time period, we collected $428 million in
construction value, and we collected $4.8 million in fees. The Business Park is humming with
businesses trying to reinvest into the community.
Yesterday, we filed a lawsuit against the FAA. The Fly Quiet Program we submitted to try to
distribute the airplane noise all the way around the airport was not considered. Plan H is the
fairest distribution for everyone, and they chose Plan B.
The Village is buying the Presbyterian Church at the corner of Elk Grove Boulevard and Tonne
Road. This item is on the agenda this evening. Our vision for that property is to make it
residential housing.
There will be a Town Hall meeting next Tuesday, October 17 at 6:30 p.m. Residents can come
to the meeting and ask any questions they would like about the Village.
The Makers Wanted Nascar race is back in Chicago for 2024.
We have been in discussion with District 59, and yesterday it was voted 7-0 to have an SRO at
Grove Junior High by October 30. We will also have an SRO at Mead Junior High.
The red/green Halloween signs are in the newsletter for trick or treating. Red means do not stop
and green means stop here for candy.
Every year for the parade we have a conflict with the high school bands and we just found out in
2024 both Conant and Elk Grove High School bands will be in the Parade.
Parade Awards:
Best Use of Theme – Girl Scouts #47445
Most Original – Elk Grove Village Public Library
Best Spirit – BSI Chicago Dance Company
Trustee Prochno – The Farmers Market continues in the Village parking lot through the end of
October on Saturday’s from 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. There are a variety of vendors. The Winter
Market will begin at Christus Victor Church in November.
I also visited the Fire Department open house on Saturday after the Farmers Market and it was a
Page 2 of 4
great event for the family.
Today, I attended the Tekka Sushi Ribbon Cutting that moved into the former Peapod location.
Trustee Schmidt – Some visitors from Termini Imerese are visiting this week and stopped in to
see the Mayor at Village Hall. They had many activities planned and are heading back to Italy
in the next day or two. We are also planning for the Sister Cities exchange students to come
visit in November.
Trustee Jarosch – I also attended the Tekka Sushi Ribbon Cutting. If you think that you are not
a fan of sushi, try it anyway. It was delicious.
Christus Victor is still looking for volunteers for their PADS group on Sunday evening into
Monday morning. The first night is November 5. They will also be open on Christmas Eve and
New Years Eve. If you want to collect toiletries you can assist that way too.
Trustee Bush – On October 13, Elk Grove High School plays against Rolling Meadows in
football and both schools participate in the Cereal Bowl contest with Elk Grove Township. If
you want to contribute you can attend the Elk Grove High School football game or drop a box of
cereal off in the foyer of the school for Joe Bush.
On October 28, the CCC will be outside Jewel for “Make a Difference Day” handing out flyers
and asking shoppers if they would consider shopping for an item for the food pantry at Ek Grove
Township.
Then finally there will be a Veterans Day ceremony at the High School on November 9.
Trustee Miller – Tomorrow is your last day to submit an entry for the Halloween decorating
