Mayor Johnson congratulated the Fire and Police Chiefs on the beautiful ceremony. The ceremony was taped and will be aired on the Channel 6 station. Shopping Center - Mayor Johnson refuted rumors that the vacancies experienced recently at a Biesterfield Road shopping center were caused by high rent fees demanded by the owner. In fact, the rental fees were not increased and the landlord has indicated the vacancies would soon be filled. The Sears store is closing based on a Sears corporate decision to close all stores located on leased property. Village Newsletter – Mayor Johnson and the Trustees reviewed the draft of the proposed Fall newsletter. Trustees Feichter and Czarnik had no further questions. Trustee Petri was pleased with the section describing the astronauts. Trustee Lissner had spoken to staff and requested the names of the organizations that received funds from the Home Giveaway event be included in the newsletter. Trustee Dill asked about the anticipated mailing date of the newsletter and was informed it would be at the end of September and before the first leaf pick-up and the government open house. Trustee Petri asked if the civic organizations had received the funds from the Home Giveaway contest. It was noted the Letters of Agreement had been signed by Alexian Brothers and Elk Grove Village and have been forwarded to the President of each organization for signature. When all parties have signed the agreement a check for $11,500 would be sent to the organization. It is anticipated that in March 2007 the auditors will have determined what additional funds are available. Trustee Feichter discussed the Village’s last newsletter and noted in some cases the events reported in that newsletter had already taken place by the time the residents received it in the mail. Matt Roan said the problem stems from the Post Office delivery process and the Village is working to rectify the problem.
