Proclamation _- Mayor Johnson proclaimed March 11 through March

current Girl Scout members nationwide who will be celebrating 89
years of an American tradition.
February 28, 2001 - Attended the Suburban O'Hare Commission
general meeting in Elk Grove Township.
A JAWA meeting was attended that evening at which the budget was
approved. A copy has been distributed to the Board for review.
Mayor Johnson pointed out that in the year 2004 a 20 to 22
percent increase would be experienced by the City of Chicago due
to the expiration of various contracts. It was suggested the
Village should plan in advance for a gradual increase rather than
one large rate increase.
March 1, 2001 - Spoke before the Industrial/Commercial
Revitalization Commission in reference to the O'Hare Airport
issue. The Mayor thanked the Commission for this opportunity.
March 2, 2001 - An interview was given at station WBEZ, a public
radio station that is carried nationally, in regards to the
airport issues . The Mayor extended his appreciation to WBEZ.
March 5, 2001 - Mayor Johnson, Mayor Wietecha of Park Ridge,
Mayor Marcucci from Elmhurst and Mayor Giles of Bensenville
journeyed to Washington D.C. A meeting was held with Congressman
Henry J. Hyde followed by a meeting with Congressman Young, the
senior Congressman and Chairman of the Congress Transportation
Committee. Congressman Young was extremely receptive to the idea
of building a third airport and no expansion of O'Hare. Next the
Mayors met with members of the Federal Aviation Commission and at
1 3-13-01
5 : 00 p.m. a meeting was held at the White House with President
Bush' s Chief of Staff who remains non-committal at this time.
Mayor Johnson reiterated, however, that President Bush is on
public record saying he does support a third airport for this
region. The Mayor anticipates a meeting will be held in
Washington D.C. with Transportation Secretary Norman Mineta in
the near future to continue these discussions.
Projections have been made that there will be an excess of six
hundred million passengers per year by the year 2012. The Mayor
commented what is being asked is that all sites be studied fairly
and equally and that when all is said and done he feels Peotone
will make the most sense. Mayor Johnson said the response and
reception extended in Washington gave a lot of hope for optimism.
March 12, 2001 - A cable television interview with Mayor Giles
was held in Bensenville. The tape will be featured on Channel 6
in the near future.
Referendum - A reminder was given of the April 3, 2001 Referendum

this referendum are available for pick up at the Village Hall.

Village Hall to be made available for anyone who supports that
view.
Appointments - Openings will be available on Elk Grove Boards and
Commissions in the near future. Anyone interested in an
application should contact the Office of the Mayor at 357-4030 .
Trustee Feichter reported a meeting of the Sister Cities
Committee is scheduled on Monday, March 19, 2001 at 7 : 00 p.m.
Trustee Feichter shared a conversation he overheard when students
at his high school were planning their weekend activities. The
students noted that they could no longer go to Elk Grove anymore
because they card everyone.
Mayor Johnson remarked on the many positive responses being
received by the businesses and residents regarding the new liquor
ordinance. Carding of all patrons does not seem to have produced
a drop-off in business. The message is out and the bottom line
of the ordinance is to discourage young people from purchasing
alcohol .
Trustee Prochno met on Tuesday, March 6, 2001 with the VFW to
finalize plans for the Memorial Day Ceremony. The ceremony is
done in conjunction with the Park District, the VFW, the Ladies
Auxiliary and the American Legion.

community since June of 1999. Meetings are on every second
Wednesday of the month at 7: 30 p.m. at the Elk Grove Village
Library. Poppy Day sales, sponsorship of a boy' s baseball team
comprised of Elk Grove and Conant High School students (the
American Legion Team) and the Memorial Day ceremony are a few of
the activities that the Legion supports. Anyone interested in
becoming a member of the American Legion should call Commander
John Gay at 847-228-9060 .
