Village and noted for the record that the following were present:

The Reverend Norman P. Anderson, Pastor of the Elk Grove Baptist

It was moved by Trustee Petri and seconded by Trustee Tosto that
the minutes of February 9, 1993 be approved as submitted and that
the Board dispense with the reading thereof. The motion was
voted upon by acclamation; whereupon the President declared the
motion carried.
President Zettek proclaimed March 1993 as American Red Cross
Month; and March 8 through 12, 1993 , as Tornado Preparedness Week
in the Village of Elk Grove Village.
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.

6. On Thursday, February 18 , 1993 , the President
was interviewed by the Northwestern School of
Journalism regarding the position of suburban
O'Hare communities with regard to the
expansion of O'Hare Airport and the advent or
possibility of a third airport. Other people
are being interviewed for this program which
will be aired sometime in April.
7. The opening of the Eagle and Wal-Mart stores
has gained phenomenal utilization. There has
been a considerable amount of traffic and
patronage at those two stores. The traffic
has been recorded to note that between 9:00
a.m. and 9:00 p.m. the number of cars has
reached from 5 , 000 to 7,000 . With all of
