4. MAYOR & BOARD OF TRUSTEES' REPORT
Mayor Johnson — There will be an Executive Session after we leave the meeting tonight.
On February 15, there was an article in the Elk Grove Journal about ComEd. Matthew Roan and I met
with 5 members of ComEd and had a very productive meeting.
On February 22, we attended the GOA Business After Hours. It was one of the largest turnouts with the
Elk Grove Chamber.
The next Coffee with the Board will be at 9:00 a.m. on May 4 at 75 Turner upstairs. It will be a larger
space to have the Coffee and there are stairs and an elevator.
There was a Committee of the Whole meeting tonight about the Envision Plan. This will be a long term
vision of the Village. On April 11, from 6:00 p.m. -8:00 p.m., there will be an Open House at the
Garden Terrace. Come by and give your input or you can send input online.
We checked on the JAWA pipe, and everything looks good right now.
Dr. Glick and Dr. Rowe have an office in Elk Grove Village. The medical clinic in Walgreen's at
Meacham and Biesterfield is closing April 19 and Dr. Glick and Dr. Rowe are thinking about having an
officer there. We will announce it when it happens.
Mayor recently did a Television interview with Channel 5 regarding the FAA Fly Quiet Rotation Plan.
All the FAA had to follow is the NEPA law and follow public process to consider all alternatives. After
we filed the lawsuit, they did agree to consider all alternatives and our experts believe that H3 far
surpasses B3.
Don Storino is here tonight on behalf of George Knickerbocker. Many times, when our attorney is
unable to attend the meetings, we will have an attorney sit in for Mr. Knickerbocker. Occasionally we
would have Bill Payne or Don Storino attend the meeting. Unfortunately, our real estate attorney Bill
Payne passed away yesterday. He was very helpful to all of us and at this time I would like to take a
moment of reflection for Bill. Pause ..............................................
Bill, our prayers are with your wife, Bonnie, and the kids during this difficult time.
Police Chief Chuck Walsh retired a number of months ago and after that, we went on a National Search
to find a new Polic Chief. Our Fire Chief, Rich Mikel, who has been working in the Fire Department for
12 years, stepped up to be the Director of Police. Deputy Chief Nathan Gac stepped up to be Acting Fire
Chief and you both did a phenomenal job. We appreciate all your hard work. It has been a long search
including 30 applications submitted from as far away as Texas.
At 7:21 p.m. the Tornado sirens went off and the meeting was recessed to go to a safer area.

EXECUTIVE SESSION — Was held in the Range Ready Room from 7:35 p.m. — 8:14 p.m.
The meeting reconvened in Council Chambers at 8:16 p.m.
Before the sirens went off, we were getting ready to introduce Dave Dorn as our new Police Chief.
Motion to have a start date of the new Police Chief on April 1.

Dave started as the Police Chief for the Village of Barrington over ten years ago. Dave's wife is present.
Dave will start on April 1 and in Elk Grove we back our Blue 100%. Dave said a few comments about
the Village and thanked everyone for accepting him for the position. He looks forward to working for the
Village of Elk Grove.
Mayor stated that the Executive Session was held while they were waiting for the storm to pass so we
won't have to have it after the Board Meeting.
Trustee Prochno — Today all 6 Board Members visited the Senior Center to talk about each of the aspects
that they do in the Village.
The Winter Farmers Market continues at Christus Victor Church every other Saturday from 9:00 am to
1:00 pm. The next Market will be this Saturday, March 2.
Trustee Bush — Thank you to the Elk Grove Park District as well as Chief Mikel who are hosting some
Leadership Students that will be coming out next week to visit the Forensics Lab as well as Sue Dees that
will be talking about Business.
Trustee Schmidt — I had a nice time at the GOA After Hours and at the Senior Center today. The seniors
asked a lot of great questions.
Trustee Miller — After the Senior Center meeting this morning, I was asked by one of the seniors that
retired and recently moved into the area. She wanted to get involved in the community and wasn't sure
where to start. Our Newsletter talks about the CERT program, and I invited her to come to a Community
Character Coalition meeting. I also told her about the Rotary Club, the Lions Club, and the Food Pantry.
There are many ways to get involved.
Congratulations to the Police Department for receiving a Certificate of Appreciation for Roadway Safety
and Enforcement from IDOT.
Trustee Jarosch — I too attended the GOA meeting a couple of weeks ago and the Senior Center today.
My husband and I participated in the PADS program Sunday night at Christus Victor. We have good
volunteer representation from the Village.
Trustee Franke — I attended the Meet Chicago Northwest Quarterly Meeting, and you should have
received a flyer announcing Restaurant Week beginning March 1 — March 10. Many restaurants will
