4. REPORT OF THE MAYOR AND BOARD OF TRUSTEES
Mayor Johnson invited Christine Smith, Senior Vice President of Retail Banking and Mark Resnick, Assistant Vice President Branch Manager (Elk Grove Village) of the Advantage Bank to
join him at the podium.
The Mayor talked about the upcoming Alexian Brothers Tour of Elk Grove bike race scheduled on August 12 and 13, 2007. The Mayor announced that Advantage Bank has offered to host a Community
Block Party as part of the bike race and noted a special informational newsletter would be sent to all residents with details of the race and the block party. Mayor Johnson announced
it is anticipated members of the premier racing team, Team CSC, will participate in this year’s race.
The Community Block Party will be held at the corner of Ridge and Elk Grove Boulevard on August 12, 2007 following the bike races that day.
Ms. Smith and Mr. Resnick stated they felt privileged to be a part of the Alexian Brothers Tour of Elk Grove and revealed that Advantage Bank would be changing its name to the Elk Grove
Village Bank and Trust to truly reflect the name of the community. Mayor Johnson expressed his gratitude for the Bank’s partnership and community involvement.
June 6, 2007 Mayor Johnson, Village Manager Rummel, and former Village Manager Gary E. Parrin attended the retirement dinner for Elk Grove High School Principal Frank De Rosa.
June 8, 2007 – Mayor Johnson reported he and Trustee Czarnik volunteered at the American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life event.
OTB – Mayor Johnson informed members of the audience there would be no further discussion regarding the issue of the Off Track Betting facility coming to the Village.
He pointed out that the Board had met twice for discussion. Public comments had been heard at the May 22, 2007 Village Board Meeting. Suggestions and public comments were presented
at that meeting and have been taken into account by the Board. Some will be incorporated in the Village’s written policy. An Ordinance had been adopted on May 22, 2007 and as far as
the Village Board is concerned the issue is over.
The Mayor noted the Illinois Gaming Commission had delayed its decision to allow the Elk Grove OTB facility to locate in Elk Grove Village based on complaints presented to them at the
Illinois Gaming Commission public meeting. There were complaints regarding the proximity of a day care business to the proposed site and Elk Grove Village’s public meeting notice process.
Mayor Johnson stated the State Supreme Court ruled in 2002 that it is permissible to locate an OTB facility next to a day care facility. Mayor Johnson noted the Board was well aware
of that approval before making any decision.
The Mayor noted that articles had been published in the Herald, Elk Grove Times and Tribune featuring the possible approval of Off Track Betting in Elk Grove Village and informing the
public of the OTB facility discussion. A notice was posted within the Village, on the website and listed on the Village Board meeting agenda and both meetings were televised on Channel
6 cable T.V.
Mayor Johnson repeated there would be no public comments heard this evening regarding the Off Track Betting issue. The Village Board has made a decision. Audience members were told
they could talk to the Illinois Gaming Commission if they needed to discuss this further.
The Mayor added he took exception to the fact that people who are not from our community are trying to influence what is done in Elk Grove Village. He told them to take care of their
own towns.
Mayor Johnson asked if any member of the Board would like to present a motion to hear further discussion on the OTB issue.
There being no motion presented, the meeting continued.
Trustee Prochno announced the winners of the Lions/Lioness Scholarship would be chosen in the near future and awarded at the July 17, 2007 Village Board meeting.
The Memorial Day Ceremony was a beautiful event. Trustee Prochno expressed her gratitude to the volunteers, Village staff, and the pilot of the C47 Bomber who conducted the fly over
during the ceremony.
Trustee Feichter toured the Salvation Army Emergency Disaster facility on Lively and Pratt on June 16, 2007. The Salvation Army has extended an invitation to all residents to stop by
for a tour. The facility will serve a good part of Illinois and part of Northern Indiana.
Trustee Feichter and Nancy Carlson, the Economic Development Coordinator, attended a meeting of the Greater Woodfield Chicago Northwest Convention Bureau. It was announced that Mrs.
Carlson has been reelected to the Board of Directors.
Trustee Petri mentioned that in his role as President of the Elk Grove Sister Cities Organization, he presented a $1500 check to Nancy Clarbour of the Elk Grove Food Pantry. Members
of Sister Cities just returned from a trip to Termini where three $500 checks were presented to three organizations in that City.
Trustee Lissner complimented Trustee Czarnik and the members of the Parade Committee on the excellent parade held last Saturday, June 16, 2007.
Trustee Lissner reported he had attended the Joint Action Water Agency (JAWA) meeting on behalf of the Mayor and pointed out that one item on that agenda had to do with granting a request
from the City of Chicago for temporary water service during construction at O’Hare. Trustee Lissner noted he did vote for approval as it was a safety issue but he did make it very
clear at the meeting that Elk Grove does not support the project Chicago is working on.
Mayor Larson, of Schaumburg, will continue to serve as Chairman and Mayor McCloud, of Hoffman Estates, will serve as Vice-Chairman.
