4. REPORT OF THE VILLAGE PRESIDENT AND BOARD OF TRUSTEES
Census – Residents will be receiving a notice in April 2000 from the Census Bureau asking for information. The President urged everyone to complete and return the census forms in order
to assist the Village in obtaining their fair share of funding.
Coyote Problem - The Village has received phone calls from concerned citizens who have spotted coyotes in the area. Residents are advised to call the emergency 9-1-1 number if a coyote
is sited in their neighborhood. President Johnson commented that coyotes do not want to mingle with humans and warned the residents to take the following precautions: (1) do not feed
the coyotes; (2) cover trash receptacles, (3) use motion activated lights and (4) keep the environment such that it is not inviting to the coyote. The Village is working with the Cook
County Forest Preserve in an attempt to find ways that the coyotes can live in harmony with us.
O’Hare Airport – Statements made by the City of Chicago in the past describe January 1, 2000 as the date for Stage 2 aircrafts to be phased out and noise and pollution from O’Hare no
longer of concern. However, the Chicago Deputy Commissioner for Aviation recently announced he expects the noise to remain the same. President Johnson stated the Village plans to continue
its efforts to try and make O’Hare Airport a good neighbor.
Fireworks Donations – Residents have donated a total amount of $5,800.00 towards the Lions Club 2000 fireworks display.
Fire Department Equipment - President Johnson, Trustee Dill and the Village Manager attended the Northwest Municipal Conference meeting on Wednesday, January 12, 2000 and informed the
Conference of the Village’s recent donation of surplus fire hose to a downstate rural Fire Protection District. The Northwest Municipal Conference showed interest in this type of project
and expressed a desire to establish a consortium to work with our neighbors to identify and obtain excess equipment for donation to smaller Fire Departments.
Millennium Baby - Jacqueline Alexandra Cariucci was born on January 2, 2000 at Alexian Brothers Medical Center. She was the first baby girl to be born in the new millennium in Elk Grove
Village.
Fire Department – President Johnson and Fire Chief James MacArthur presented commendations to Elk Grove Fire Department specialists Lt. John Guglielmo and Firefighter George Burger who,
