Staff put some information together and our first Data Center came to the Village in 2000. Since that time, Data Center have been charged $22,000,000 in permit fees in the Village. Mayor discussed how important Data Centers are to the community. Mayor had a meeting with Stern Pinball at their new location to get an update. On May 31, there was a DARE Graduation at Grove Junior High. We also had a meeting with the Illinois Tollway on June 6 working with projects going on with the new Elgin O'Hare bypass that is being built on the west side of town. There was also a Grand Opening at MUGS Pizza on Nerge Road that day. On June 13, there was a Ribbon Cutting at Rademaker, 955 Estes. They have invested a lot of money in Elk Grove Village. Congratulations to our Finance Department for receiving the Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting for its annual comprehensive financial report 2023. This is the 40th consecutive year to receive this award. The Clearmont Bridge is open as of today. The formal Opening will be on Thursday. Mayor spoke about the history of Busse Dam and the flood mitigation. In August, District 59 will require all students to turn cell phones off and not to use them until after the school day ends. On our agenda tonight, there is an agreement with a new Home2 by LaQuinta Hotel and the front corner will still be designated for a restaurant where White Castle was. We are also buying the Prologis building to utilize for Public Works. Mayor unveiled a banner with the awards that Elk Grove Village has received. Again this year we received Municipality of the Year Award in Illinois. Mayor read a letter from a resident complimenting the Village on the services provided to the residents. Kathy Camp (a/k/a Kitty Camp) retired after being a Crossing Guard for 32 years by Byrd School in Elk Grove. Page 1 of 6 Today, the Daily Herald did an article that falsely stated that Elk Grove only had 17% of trees. The business park is 55% of the Village alone. Elk Grove has been named a Tree City USA for 39 straight years. We lost 5,000 trees to the Emerald Ash Borer and we worked with a tree farm 5 years in advance before we needed them. We put in 500 trees every year, so I am not sure who they are getting their information from.

PC Docket 24-1 - A public hearing to consider a Special Use Permit for modifications to a Planned Development by altering the existing site plan to add six (6) pickleball courts and lighting for the pickleball court and the soccer field at 711 Chelmsford Lane. (PH 03-18- 2024, Village Board to discuss on 6/18/24.) Mayor discussed the parks in Elk Grove Village and talked about letters that were mailed out to residents around the park. The following residents wanted to comment on the Pickleball courts: PUBLIC COMMENT — 8:25 PM Allan David, 763 Wellington Avenue — In Favor Tom & Laura Bookler, 102 Smethwick — In Favor Victor Anderson, 735 Wellington Avenue — Opposed Richard Nelson, 644 Burgundy Court — Opposed Vickey Frankel, 1319 Parker Place — In Favor Gladys Moscoso, 641 Chelmsford — In Favor Tom Martin, 559 Northampton — In Favor Michelle Krahn, 919 Christa Court — In Favor Gabriella George, 118 Boardwalk - Opposed Pat Mitchum, Owner of 735 Wellington - Opposed Mary Leigh Burnett, 843 Wellington — In Favor Connie Marceau-Cundiff & Cynthia, 705 Bordeaux Ct, UT A - Opposed Lori Christiansen, 805 Cosman Road — Opposed Bill Hlavin, 299 Shelley Road - Opposed Bill O'Malley, Elk Grove Park District Commissioner John Walz, Elk Grove Park District Commissioner Mayor recommended that if approved by the board that we set a 9 p.m. time for lights off for the pickleball courts. Secondly, if they can build it and hold off all the sides until later but put the landscaping as previously proposed. Trustee Miller - I have a concern about signage about no open flames, no smoking, no barbecuing. Mayor said that will be addressed later as well as signs around the parking lot. Trustee Bush — My suggestion for the screening is to start with the outside first for the sake of safety. With police driving by on Chelmsford it would be a more open feel so police can see in there. Page 4 of 6 Motion to have the Village Attorney prepare the necessary documents for approval of the pickleball courts with the lights out by 9:00 p.m. at 711 Chelmsford (Marshall Park). Soundproofing to start at each end of the pickleball but with the ability to add more soundproofing after the operation of the facility and extensive landscaping wherever the soundproofing is up to soften the look. Moved by Trustee Prochno Seconded by Trustee Bush AYES: Trustee Bush - Thanks to the Park District for your comments about serving the community of 32,000 people. As for Real Estate, I live on Biesterfield where the road widened and there are a few houses that are on the market that have sold for over the asking price. Trustee Jarosch - Thanks to all the people who commented today. I hope the park district takes back with them comments about speed, congestion, safety and for the neighbors to keep an eye on it. Trustee Miller - I have visited the park 4 times since it opened. Each time I went I was delighted to hear from many people that their children loved it. The rest rooms were clean. It is sad to hear that there was foul language this early. I am concerned about foot traffic going around the corner and appreciate all the comments that were made tonight. Trustee Schmidt - I live across from the park and I understand some of your concerns, but I have the traffic too. I will be out there every night when I walk the dog. I think overall for the community that this will be a good thing. Trustee Franke - The last 3 months I have watched every park board meeting and talked to many residents. I was at the Plan Commission hearing, and I am not sure I would agree with their vote, but I understand that the Park District was still unsure about a few things. There is a lot of misinformation that gets sent out and people get the wrong impression. The park board has told me that they will take everything into consideration, but remember it is their park. Please contact the park district if you continue to have questions. Trustee Prochno - Thank you for coming out tonight. I appreciate your participation and for caring so much for your neighborhood. I am confident that you are not going away and that you will work with the park board if it is not working. NAYS: None ABSENT: None MOTION CARRIED b.
