that the O'Hare Airport Noise Study according to the City of
Chicago states that there are no homes in Elk Grove Village
qualifying for sound proofing dollars from the City. If anyone

information and then contact the Elk Grove Village Police
Department.

Graduation at Link School. The DARE Program is extremely

will be used for signage in the Village. President Johnson expressed
his thanks to the legislators on behalf of the Village.
Peer Jury Program - Richard Penley explained the workings of the Peer
Jury Program. This program has been very successful and has given the
Elk Grove Police Department and the Village of Elk Grove an
opportunity to fill a void between a slap on the hand and being
crunched in the juvenile justice system.
President Johnson, Richard Penley and Mary Cortez, Social Service
Worker presented Certificates of Achievement to High School Seniors
who have served on the Peer Jury for two years : Katie Bosslet, Mara
Dudzik, Jeff Gutmiedl, Jackie Pritscher, Lindsey Vacco, Erin Waser.
Trustee Lissner reported that he and Trustees Petri and Prochno and
Sergeant Dion Zinnel of the Elk Grove Village Police Department
attended a Soap Box Derby in Naperville. Trustee Lissner stated that
he was very impressed by the parents and the children, but he would
not want to see a derby on a busy street in Elk Grove Village and
would support establishing a Soap Box Derby on Cook County Forest
Preserve property if possible.
Trustees Lissner, Czarnik and Dill attended a performance of the
Pavillion Singers at Harper College and enjoyed it very much.
Trustee Petri reported the he attended the Soap Box Derby in
Naperville and stated that it was a family event. It was held on a
local industrial street with a T intersection and controlled very
nicely, but does not think that it is something that should be on
Village streets. Trustee Petri stated that it would be excellent in
the Forest Preserve.
President Johnson stated he and the Village Manager will be meeting
with President Stroger and Carl Hansen of the Cook County Board of
Commissions and use of the Forest Preserve for a Soap Box Derby is
one of the items that will be discussed. Also to be discussed is the
bridge overpass at I-290 and other items including the undergrounding
of electrical lines .
President Johnson also reported that the village is still working on
the extension of the bike path from the West side of the Village to
the East side of the village
Trustee Czarnik reported that yesterday, May 25, 1996 was the first
Memorial Day ceremony and extended her congratulations to Trustee
Prochno for her efforts in putting together that event with the
Veterans of Foreign Wars and Park District. Residents were also
commended for their participation in the ceremony.
Trustee Feichter also extended his congratulations to Trustee Prochno
on the memorial service and noted that it was great to see the
patriotism of citizens of all ages.
Trustee Feichter reported that in April he and thirty (30) of his
students went to Washington DC to compete in a National Constitution
contest against all of the top teams from across the United States. It
was a marvelous experience to see 2, 000 students discuss and debate
the constitution of the United States, the freedoms and the underlying
principals behind it and the history of the United States and also to
answer very difficult questions from judges about the United States .
Trustee Feichter' s students came back as number 4 in the United States
of America.
2 05-26-98
Trustee Feichter flew to Bosnia as part of the United States
Information Agency program, which promotes democracy by helping train
the teachers in a competition called Project Citizen so that they may
teach good citizenship to their students . During the first week of
May in Sarejevo, there was a gathering of 1, 200 students from all over
Bosnia competing in the finals of the competition. Many of them were
students that had been taught by teachers that Trustee Feichter and
other American teachers had worked with during the past two years.
Trustee Feichter stated that it was one the most rewarding experiences
of his life and made him feel that democracy was taking root there.
Trustee Prochno reported on her attendance at the Soap Box Derby and
noted that she was the one who had brought the idea of having a derby
in the Village to the Board. After seeing the one in Naperville
realized that Nerge Road would be the wrong place to hold a derby, but
she would work to have a site in the Forest Preserve.
Trustee Prochno thanked all who attended the Memorial Day Ceremony
which was held in cooperation with the Village, Park District and the
VFW, noting that it was a very successful event.

parenthetical notation in item W. to read that the increase of
authorized firefighter/paramedic allowances for Fire Department
employees should be from forty-two (42) to fifty-one (51) .
Robert DiDomenico, 578 Jersey addressed the Board regarding policies
of the Alexian Brothers Medical Center. President Johnson responded
that this is not the time or place to discuss the policies of the
hospital . Mr. DiDomenico then questioned the request from the Park
District for a waiver of fees and asked the Board to not waive the
fees until the Park District replaces the placement of rocks at
various parks in the Village with grass. The President stated that
there will not be such a stipulation. Mr. DiDomenico further
questioned the removal of No Parking signs at Fountain Park at which

parking lot at Mead Jr. High School is being resurfaced.
