February 19, 2000 – Attended a strategic planning session for the Suburban O’Hare Commission in Bensenville with Trustees Petri and Lissner and Village Manager Gary Parrin to set up a timeframe regarding the impending airport litigation. President Johnson remarked that hopefully this issue would be coming to an end and there will be a future opportunity to meet with Chicago and work out a plan for the airport based on what is best for the entire region. Third Airport - A Press Release sent out by the Village in regards to a third airport and the economic benefits that airport would bring to the area is attached hereto and made a part hereof. NWMC - President Johnson reported on a meeting of the Northwest Municipal Conference at which the Cook County Assessor, James Houlihan, addressed the Mayors. The Assessor explained studies conducted indicate properties within the southeast and southwest regions of Cook County are becoming more economically depressed. The southeast region has experienced the largest percentage of scavenger sales within Cook County. A greater tax burden and increasing assessments in the north and northwest suburbs of Cook County will have to make up for the tax dollars the County is unable to collect from the southern region. President Johnson stressed the many economic benefits of a third airport in the south suburban area. Two hundred and fifty thousand jobs would be created and millions of dollars of economic business would become available for that region. The airport will increase the property values and reduce the tax burden now being shifted to the northern suburbs. The Northern Illinois Planning Commission (NIPC) has projected the area of Elk Grove Village will experience a 15.4% job growth in the next twenty years with the construction of a south suburban airport. This projection is better than expected and it is important for the legislative leaders to act quickly and save the south suburban area. Proclamation - President Johnson proclaimed March 12 through 18, 2000 as Severe Weather Preparedness Week. Residents of Elk Grove were reminded to take precautions during upcoming tornado season. President Johnson expressed his appreciation to the Director of Public Works for the admirable snow removal job by the Public Works Department during the recent February snowstorm.
