Moved by Trustee Petri Seconded by Trustee Czarnik VOICE VOTE MOTION CARRIED 4. MAYOR&BOARD OF TRUSTEES' REPORT - Mayor Johnson attended a Tollway Board meeting on Thursday, December 15, 2016. I-90 is open with a little bit of work still being done at Barrington Road. Work continues on I-390. Discussions are taking place with the Railroad about the I-390 and the southern connection. Mayor Johnson addressed the Cook County minimum wage and sick day law. The Village plans on holding a round table meeting in February to hear the views of business owners and also the views of people in support of the law to weigh the impact and the pros and cons of the law before the Village Board makes a decision whether to support the law or not. Elk Grove has set a new record low for vacancies in the business park. The vacancy rate is below 4%. The vacancy rate has never been this low before and it is the lowest out of all the communities surrounding the airport. During the great recession, Elk Grove was aggressive with investments into the community. Over sixty million dollars of improvements were done in the business park. Business owners are reinvesting millions of dollars into their businesses located in the business park and Village sales tax revenue is doing very well. The Village is going to be communicating with several healthcare facilities in the area about the heroin epidemic in the country. The Police Department has talked to the Mayor about working with the youth and adults in the area that are struggling with addiction. The Village will be reaching out to Alexian Brothers and the Kenneth Young Center to see if they can work together to address the issue and try and get help for people. USA Today published an article that stated for every dollar spent helping people solve their problem with addiction, seven to eight dollars is spent by the Police Department to address the issues that are caused by people with addiction. In addition to helping people,it also makes financial sense to address the problem. Mayor Johnson addressed discussion on Facebook about the opening of Leona's in Elk Grove Village. People are stating that it's the Village's fault that they aren't open yet. Leona's is owned by a corporation that currently has seven locations and they are opening two more locations. The Elk Grove Village location was going to be operated by a franchisee. Last May or June, the franchisee met with the Community Development Department and permits were issued to convert the old restaurant into Leona's. The franchisee dragged their feet and the corporate owners of Leona's decided to take the location over in November. The Mayor met with the owner and they are working to get the Page 1 of 5 location open. Their liquor license has been approved and the owner is hoping to open sometime the end of January or the beginning of February. Presentation - Mayor Johnson introduced Campbell Kraemer. Campbell attended Elk Grove High School and is currently a student at the University of Illinois. Elk Grove Village hosts a Made in Elk Grove Manufacturing&Technology Expo each year. The fourth Expo was held this past October. The Expo is held at Elk Grove High School. The Village has partnered with the High School and Harper College to teach manufacturing in the schools.
