Staff was complimented for the preparations for the meeting. Veterans Day - There was a very good turn out for the VFW Assembly luncheon at the VFW Hall. President Johnson, Trustees Dill, Petri, Czarnik, Feichter and Prochno attended the luncheon. This is a very important day on which we pay tribute to those who served this country over the years. Elk Grove Town Center Update - The exterior of Dominick' s and Walgreens is being done; walls are also going up on the outlot between Walgreens and Citgo, which will probably hold Schlotsky' s Deli, Starbucks Coffee and potentially Fannie May. They are starting to place the small exterior bricking on the theater; and they are still working on the underground work for the sewers and drains. The Village parking lot is going slower than anticipated. Asphalt should be installed next week. Walgreens and Dominick' s should be completed by spring and the remainder of the center in the fall of 1998 . 1 11-11-97 Trustee Czarnik reported that MediaOne had a Public Government and Access Award and Channel 6 was nominated in three different categories.

Trustee Czarnik attended the presentation of the award at Harper College on November 6, 1997. Congratulations were expressed to Dana Neville and Channel 6 . Trustee Feichter reported that he attended a slide presentation by the Solid Waste Agency of Northern Cook County at a High School in Park Ridge. The presentation included a fashion show using students who modeled recycled bottles that were converted into very nice clothes. A program similar to this one could possibly be developed by the Recycling Committee and/or the Youth Commission for Elk Grove High School students and/or elementary school students . Tax Lew - The Board considered the tax levy, which will be voted upon at the December meeting, at the Committee of the Whole earlier this evening. There will be a 1. 9% tax increase which is the lowest levy in a number of years.

MOVED: Trustee Feichter SECONDED: Trustee Czarnik AYES: Trustees Czarnik, Dill, Feichter, Lissner, Petri, Prochno MOTION CARRIED CONSENT AGENDA ITEM H. President Johnson read the resolution under consideration, which resolution authorizes the Village of Elk Grove Village to join the Partnership for Metropolitan Chicago' s Airport Future and to urge the General Assembly and Congress to support construction of a third regional airport . Members of the audience were asked for their comments regarding this issue. Laurie Stone, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Greater O'Hare Chamber of Industry and Commerce addressed the Board stating she was speaking on behalf of her Board of Directors in opposition to the proposed resolution. Ms. Stone stated that businesses would leave the industrial park and thereby there would be a curtailing of tax monies into Elk Grove Village which would effect the School Districts, the Park District and the residents of Elk Grove Village. She further stated that a third airport would create dramatic changes to the business community in Elk Grove Village. Mr. Charles Amenta, Jr. , 991 Debra Lane also spoke in opposition to the proposed resolution supporting a third airport stating that the support from Congressmen Hyde and Jackson was of a political nature. Mr. William Gonzalez, 740 Gloucester questioned what benefit a third airport would be to the Village of Elk Grove and that he did not want businesses moving out of the Village since he moved here due to the low taxes. Ms. Valerie Roesti, owner of a printing business voiced her fear that if businesses leave the industrial park due to a third airport she would lose her business. President Johnson responded to the questions raised by the speakers and also in defense of the Village's dedication in maintaining a strong viable industrial park and also in support of a vital role for O'Hare Airport. The Village is, however, opposed to the expansion of O'Hare Airport since any additional runways would direct air traffic directly over the heart of the Village. The Village does support a third regional airport which would deal with the projected growth of air travel and for the health safety and welfare of the entire Village of Elk Grove Village. Partnership for Metropolitan Chicago' s Airoort Fu - Motion to adopt Resolution No. 58-97 entitled "A RESOLUTION TO JOIN THE PARTNERSHIP FOR METROPOLITAN CHICAGO'S AIRPORT FUTURE AND TO URGE THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY TO SUPPORT CONSTRUCTION OF A THIRD REGIONAL AIRPORT." MOVED: Trustee Lissner SECONDED: Trustee Prochno AYES: Trustees Dill, Feichter, Lissner, Petri, Prochno, Czarnik MOTION CARRIED 7 . REGULAR AGENDA None. 4 11-11-97 BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS 8. CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS COMMITTEE - CHAIRMAN FEICHTER Improvements Arlington Heights/Cosman - This project has been completed and may be removed from the Committee' s agenda. Cosman Road Asphalt Path - This item is still being considered. 2500 Devon Avenue - Motion to adopt Resolution No. 59-97 entitled "A RESOLUTION APPROVING A STATEMENT OF COMMITMENT TO INSTALL PUBLIC SIDEWALKS BETWEEN THE VILLAGE OF ELK GROVE VILLAGE AND CONSOLIDATED SERVICE CORPORATION (2500 DEVON AVENUE) ." MOVED: Trustee Feichter SECONDED: Trustee Petri AYES: Trustees Feichter, Lissner, Petri, Prochno, Czarnik, Dill MOTION CARRIED 9. JUDICIARY, PLANNING & ZONING COMMITTEE - CHAIRMAN LISSNER Trick or Treat Hours - A request was made of staff to survey surrounding communities as to the hours and day that they allow trick or treating for committee review. Wireless -1- s , harm - A surcharge for wireless 9-1-1 would be similar to the 9-1-1 hardwire telephones which would allow the public service agencies to collect a fee through the cellular providers to provide 9-1-1 service so when a call is made for service it would allow the emergency agency to know where a car is located at that time. The issues holding up the surcharge is that the state legislature has not passed legislation allowing the collection of the surcharge fee and the cellular companies seem to be against it. The Village Manager stated that there has finally been some movement by the wireless providers to agree to a surcharge amount when the FCC mandates emergency dispatching services to provide wireless 9-1-1, that a surcharge can be implemented in order to pay for the equipment, councils and radio receivers and also the telecommunicator necessary to do the dispatching. The Bill is currently going before the General Assembly during the Veto Session. The status of the Bill will not be known until the end of the week. There is still pending before the Board that if the Bill does not pass, the Village still has the wireless companies that are looking for the locations, special use permits and agreements . The Village would still be faced with locking in by adoption a Village ordinance as well as referencing in the Special Use Permits those requirements for providing the surcharge. The Village would still need to take that posture prior to acting on any of those requests . Now is the only opportune time to do it. A meeting can be set to discuss this prior to the next Village Board meeting. A meeting will be set later this evening. 10. PERSONNEL COMMITTEE - CHAIRMAN PETRI Wellness Program - The Committee met last week with the Village Manager and the Director of Human Resources and discussed this item.
