REPORT OF THE VILLAGE PRESIDENT AND BOARD OF TRUSTEES Suburban O’Hare Commission – The President attended a meeting of the Commission on February 24, 1999 in reference to the ongoing discussions and limitations of additional flights at O’Hare Airport and expansion of runways. The Senate and Congress are talking about expanding the number of flights that would be allowed at O’Hare. The Commission is still optimistic and Congressman Hyde is still working on behalf of the Commissions’ stance on the proposed expansion. A local newspaper had an article on the soundproofing from the airport noise. The noise-soundproofing program is administered and funded by the City of Chicago. Elk Grove Village has no impact or decision-making process with the program. The Village is glad that the City of Chicago, after 40 years, realizes that the Village is impacted by the noise from the airport. The Village is disappointed that the program only takes into consideration two (2) areas of the Village when it is known that a larger portion of the Village is impacted by noise. There are 365 homes in the Village that are eligible for the soundproofing. Soundproofing entails windows, siding, insulation and things of that type. They have set aside $34,000 per home. They want to do 141 homes this year. How they pick what homes and the criteria or the order that they are selected, the Village does not know at this time. If that information is received it will be made known to the public. The Village does not want the Airport to go away, we want them to follow the natural paths that were designed when the Village was designed, for example: to have the planes take off over the tollway, industrial park and/or the forest preserve to minimize the impact; to get all of the planes with the newer stage engines; to follow the quiet times at nighttime with not as many flights and to work with the communities to make the airport much more compatible for everybody in the vicinity. Bike Path – President Johnson issued a press release regarding the construction of a bike path over I-290, a copy of which is attached hereto and made a part hereof. Trustee Lissner reported that he attended the Joint Action Water Agency (JAWA) meeting on February 24, 1999. The proposed budget was approved at this meeting. The Water Agency reported that they are positive that they will be Y2K compliant. They do have some concerns about other agencies such as the City of Chicago and possibly Commonwealth Edison. The Agency is going to do a study of the system to see how safe it is from tampering. The Executive Committee will do the study. Trustee Czarnik reported that she attended the St. Patrick’s Dinner Dance at Queen of the Rosary on February 27, 1999. It was a wonderful get together for many residents of the Village. 5.
