the meeting continued.
The Village Manager reported on the following:
1. The Village has distributed over 400 American flags to
the business and commercial properties in the Village.
Yellow ribbons are being tied to all trees in parkways
throughout the Village by volunteers from the Elk
Grove High School and various Village Civic
Organizations.
This is the Village's effort of expressing support for
the men and women who are in the Persian Gulf.
2. The Dial-a-Ride Express Program has expanded
considerably since last year. There are three new
runs being made during the week to three different
shopping areas (Cross Creek Commons, Randhurst, and
Meadows Mall ) .
3. Last Thursday, the Illinois Department of Transpor-
tation held an information meeting, on behalf of the
Village, to explain and answer questions regarding
the Elgin O'Hare Highway project, with particular
attention being given to measures to mitigate the
noise that might be generated by that highway.
About 60 persons who attended that meeting, carried
on a dialogue with the IDOT personnel and also the
Village Engineering Staff.
Two or three questions came from that meeting and have
been submitted to IDOT for consideration of changes
in the noise and mitigation plan as well as the
fencing of the area.

ago, the Fire Department put on its second walk
through for the public in cooperation with the owners
of the property.
- 3 - 2-26-91
In a two hour period, about 175 men, women and
children inspected the house that was severely damaged
by fire. The comments received by the Fire Department
indicate that it is difficult for anyone to appreciate
the ravages of fire until they have seen the damage
that has been done by fire.
That open house served to encourage persons to do more
in the way of fire prevention and to develop escape
plans from their own personal property in the event of
a fire.
5. The Joint Action Water Agency Board of Directors will
meet tomorrow, Wednesday, February 27, 1991 at 7:30

will attend that meeting.
6. The 1990 Elk Grove Distant Classic project sponsored
and coordinated by the Elk Grove Village Community
Service Board generated revenues of $5,200 and
incurred expenses of about $4,900. $3,240 of those
expenses were distributed to six governmental agencies
for various kinds of things that will assist the youth
that are serviced by those agencies.
7. The 1991/1992 Budget and the 1990 Compendium report
have been distributed to the Board of Trustees. The
report is a composite of departmental activities.
The Village Manager stated that the Village is working in concert with the
Village of Schaumburg and the Village of Hoffman Estates in trying to
developed a strong proposal to be submitted to the Regional Transportation
Authority to support an application for a Personnal Rapid Transit System
that is being considered by the RTA.
The Village does not have the high use areas in the community that would
clearly justify the Personnal Rapid Transit System (PRT) , but we do
have the things in the community that would enhance that pilot project if
and when it is continued into a major ongoing public service program.
The demonstration project is intended to be a service delivery system
7-days a week virtually around the clock. Elk Grove Village and Hoffman
Estates do not have that kind of business activity to meet that
requirement. The Village of Schaumburg does have that environment and
therefore the Village and Hoffman Estates have joined with them in filing
their application for the pilot PRT demonstration project.
A resolution of support has been prepared for Board consideration.
It was moved by Trustee Petri and seconded by Trustee Bosslet that the
Board adopt Resolution No. 10-91 entitled, "A RESOLUTION SUPPORTING THE
VILLAGE OF SCHAUMBURG'S APPLICATION TO HOST THE PERSONAL RAPID TRANSIT
(PRT) DEMONSTRATION PROJECT AND SUPPORTING THE FUTURE POTENTIAL EXTENSION
OF THE PRT SYSTEM INTO THE VILLAGE OF ELK GROVE VILLAGE". The motion was
voted upon by general consent to the previous vote: AYE: Trustees Tosto,
Bosslet, Czarnik, Petri ; NAY: none; ABSENT: Chernick, Gallitano; whereupon
the Chairman pro tem declared the motion carried.
It was moved by Trustee Czarnik and seconded by Trustee Petri that the
meeting be adjourned. The motion was voted upon by acclamation; whereupon
the Chairman pro tem declared the motion carried and the meeting adjourned
at 8:43 p.m.
