President Zettek reported on the following: 1 . The Suburban O'Hare Commission and Mayors of other municipalities that are not a part of the Commission, attended a meeting that was chaired by Lt. Governor Robert Kustra on Thursday, February 18 , 1993 . The purpose of the meeting was to try to reach language that would be agreeable to the Governor of the State of Illinois, the City of Chicago and the suburbs that are impacted by the noise and air pollution emanating from the O'Hare Airport. It is hoped that an agreement can be met that would provide for the building of a Superport/Regional Airport that would be built in the Peotone area; and at the same time, allow the City of Chicago to construct one (1) runway which will allow them to reduce delays that are currently encountered at O'Hare. The Commission is very adamant that they will not be party to any such agreement unless there are ironclad agreements that the runway could not be used to increase the capacity or the capability of the additional runway to handle more aircraft into O'Hare. The Commission is willing to provide for a runway which would only be used to reduce/eliminate/alleviate delays but not to encourage the City of Chicago and the Airlines to increase the number of operations at O'Hare. 2. There will be an Executive Session of the Village Board on March 9, 1993 , at 7:00 p.m. , with Attorney Joseph Karaganis to bring the Board up to date on the litigation with CBS and WBBM regarding denying the construction of a tower in Roselle in the immediate vicinity of Elk Grove village. - 1 - 2-23-93 3 .
