4. REPORT OF THE MAYOR AND BOARD OF TRUSTEES
Proclamation - Mayor Johnson proclaimed November 14, 2000 as "National Community Education Day 2000” at Elk Grove High School and throughout the community of District 214.
October 12, 2000 - The Mayor and Trustee Dill spoke before the Jaycees Organization. The Jaycees’ membership has grown to 41 members in Elk Grove Village. Mayor Johnson commended the
organization and wished the Jaycees the best of luck in the future.
Canine Unit - Police Chief Steve Schmidt introduced Sjowy, pronounced Joh-vee, the newest addition to the Police Canine Unit. Sjowy is 2-1/2 years old and of the Belgian Malinois breed
as is the Village's first canine, 7-1/2 year old Mike. The Chief recognized Police Officer John Bazukas who is currently assigned to the canine unit and the care of Sjowy. Sjowy responded
to commands in the Dutch language given by Officer Bazukas in demonstration of how well he has been trained. Mayor Johnson
noted the success of the first canine unit and credited Mike for assistance in many drug arrests.
SOC March and Rally - Mayor Johnson asked the community to "Make -a-Difference" on Sunday, October 29, 2000 by participating in the march and rally in opposition of the O'Hare Airport
expansion. Approximately 100 of the 1,000 signs originally bought are still available at Village Hall for anyone who wanted to display a sign. Sunday is the day a loud and strong
message is to be sent out to all elected officials that we do not want O'Hare Airport expanded and a third airport is needed for the economic future of this region.
A concert will begin at 11:00 a.m. at the Elk Grove High School and if the students so desire they can also join the march. Mayor Johnson stressed that the students do not have to march
if they prefer not to. It is a Democratic society and all are allowed to speak their views on this issue.
Buses will be provided at the high school at 12:30 p.m. for transportation to the Village Hall. The march will begin at 1:00 p.m. from the Charles J. Zettek Municipal Building, down
Biesterfield Road, JFK, Elk Grove Boulevard and on to the high school for the 2:00 p.m. rally. U.S. Senator Fitzgerald, Congressman Henry Hyde, Congressman Jesse Jackson, Jr. and countless
Mayors and officials from the region will be in attendance. A free dinner buffet will be served following the rally.
The event will receive national attention through television and the press. Participants will be asked to sign a card, to be personally delivered to Governor Ryan's Office in Chicago,
reminding the Governor of his promise made in the Council Chambers in February 1998 not to expand O'Hare and to build a South Suburban airport.
Wood Dale, Bensenville, the South Suburban area, Park Ridge, and Itasca are some of the communities that will participate in the rally. It is a non-partisan event for all people. Mayor
Johnson stressed the need for residents to show support and thanked all those who have already taken signs and called the hot line. Anyone not interested in marching but would like
to participate in the rally should be at the high school at 1:00 p.m.
Trustee Feichter reported the Dinner Dance held in honor of the Sister Cities delegates was very successful. Approximately 1100 people attended the event. Among the many activities
planned that week, Termini Imerese visitors were invited to the Barrington home of Mr. Sanfilippo, a very successful businessman in the Village.
Meeting Schedule - The next meeting of the Sister Cities Committee is scheduled on Monday, November 6, 2000.
The Italian delegates are reported to be "telling the world how wonderful Elk Grove Village is." They plan to study the English language and have asked that members of the Board and
Village Manager Gary Parrin learn Italian. The Sister City visitors want to better communicate with us in order to learn from our government and have asked that Gary Parrin visit Italy
to explain the operation of our government. Trustee Feichter stated Giovanni Gullo is in the process of arranging for Italian language classes to be offered at Elk Grove High School.
Also mentioned were three businesses in Italy that are interested in establishing business ties with our Business Park.
Trustee Feichter thanked the members of the Committee, the Village Board, and staff of Elk Grove Village for the efforts to make this a most successful visit.
Mayor Johnson also expressed his appreciation to all involved in the preparations for the delegates' visit.
