Chicago Cubs Sammy Sosa had also received this award on an
earlier date. The Mayor expressed his appreciation to the Rotary
Club for this honor.
Bicycle Safety Rodeo - Three bicycle rodeos will be sponsored
this summer as part of the Police Department' s bicycle safety
course. The raffle winners from two of the rodeos were present
in the audience and received their new bikes from the Mayor and
Police Chief Schmidt. The winners were Jacob Pritscher, (429

who took part in the Queen of the Rosary Rodeo on June 23, 2001 .
A third rodeo will be held on July 14, 2001 at the Salt Creek

Trustee Prochno explained that the Youth Commission, in
coordination with the Park District, sponsors an annual Youth
Scholarship Contest. Four $500. 00 Scholarships are awarded to
graduating high school students who reside in Elk Grove. The
essay contest is based on community service and how the student
feels they have impacted the community. The Mayor and Trustee
Prochno proceeded with a presentation of a scholarship
certificate and check to Steven Irizarry, of Elk Grove High
School, who is one of the two Youth Commission winners. The
1 6-26-01
second winner, Laura Rose Jeanson, also of Elk Grove High School,
was unable to attend the Village Board meeting for the
presentation of her scholarship award.
Boards and Commissions - The Oaths of Office were administered to
the following newly appointed members of the Boards and
Commissions of the Village:

O'Hare Airport - Mayor Johnson introduced a Resolution endorsing
a ban on further expansion of the airport; support of a third
airport in Peotone; and the construction of western access to the
airport, subject to certain conditions. The Mayor explained
there is a need for western access but the "ring road" must be
constructed on airport land, as originally planned, and not
outside the airport boundaries. The Mayor stressed the
commitment of the Village Board to pursue this battle and asked
the residents for their support. The airport will be a number
one issue in the future Primary Election with a strong message
sent out to legislatures.
The Mayor commented on the Greater O'Hare Association' s recent
statement in support of expansion and clarified that the Elk
Grove Chamber of Commerce and the Bensenville Chamber of Commerce
did not participate in that statement.
An outside access road would affect the tax base for all of Elk
Grove Village, as some of the businesses in the Industrial Park
would be lost. Mayor Johnson named safety, noise, pollution,
finances, and the quality of life as components of this issue.
The Mayor said to leave O'Hare the way it was built and designed,
the way Elk Grove was built around it. Don't expand and destroy
the Village ' s quality of life.
Motion to adopt Resolution No. 30-01 entitled "A RESOLUTION
ENDORSING A BAN ON FURTHER EXPANSION OF O'HARE INTERNATIONAL
AIRPORT INCLUDING A BAN ON NEW RUNWAYS AND ENDORSING CONSTRUCTION
OF A NEW REGIONAL AIRPORT AT PEOTONE AND ENDORSING CONSTRUCTION
OF WESTERN ACCESS UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS. "
MOVED: Trustee Dill SECONDED: Trustee Petri
AYES: Trustees Dill, Feichter, Lissner, Petri, Prochno, Czarnik
MOTION CARRIED
Mayor Johnson stated the resolution emphasizes the Village ' s
support of western access to O'Hare but with the condition that
the airport situation is solved first and before roadways are
addressed.
The Board was recognized and thanked for their support and the
strong united stance they have taken.
Trustee Prochno reported that on Friday, June 22, 2001, the Park
District, in partnership with the Elk Grove Police Department,
sponsored the first Splash Party of the year. Everyone enjoyed
the evening although, due to inclement weather, only a few youths
participated.
Trustee Feichter reported he and fellow teachers met with Nanci
Vanderweel to discuss and learn more about the history of the Elk
Grove Township area. Valuable and informative facts were
obtained during this meeting. Nanci Vanderweel, a former Village
2 6-26-01
Trustee and currently serving as Township Trustee, recently

this information included. A brochure on the history of Elk
Grove streets may be published in the near future.
