4. REPORT OF THE MAYOR AND BOARD OF TRUSTEES
Mayor Johnson reported the following:
O'Hare Airport— DuPage Circuit Judge Kenneth Popejoy issued a ruling to
allow the City of Chicago to proceed with the demolition of homes in
Bensenville. A few days later the Judge issued a temporary restraining order,
halting Chicago's demolition plans and giving Bensenville and Elk Grove
Village time to appeal that decision. Mayor Johnson stated it is hopeful that
Bensenville will be allowed to delay demolition of homes until after this is
ultimately decided upon.
The Washington D.C. Circuit Court case regarding the St. Johannes Cemetery
would be heard on October 23, 2008. If the decision is in our favor, the whole
O'Hare project could collapse.
The O'Hare issue is far from over regardless of what has been written in recent
newspaper articles. Mayor Johnson complimented columnist, John Hilkevitch,
of the Chicago Tribune, for his investigative reporting and the informative and
truthful articles written about the O'Hare expansion project.
Alexian Brothers Tour of Elk Grove/2008 — Seven hundred - seven bike riders
participated in the third annual bike race. Over 2 ,000 individuals attended the
races over the three-day span. It is estimated a total of 4000 individuals
attended and enjoyed the two block parties.
Mayor Johnson extended his appreciation and gratitude to the Village of
Schaumburg for their participation. The Elk Grove Village residents were
thanked for their cooperation during the inconvenience of the street closings and
for their support of the event. Mayor Johnson thanked the employees of the
Public Works Department and the Police Department, with special mention of

Rural Fire Protection District and also the Elk Grove Village Fire and Police
Commission.
The Elk Grove Rural Fire District had asked her to address the Board regarding
the annexation of the Higgins Road property that currently lies within the Elk
Grove Rural Fire District and unincorporated Cook County.
C. Clifford reported a June 17; 2008 letter with the concerns of the Fire District
and the loss of tax revenue had been sent to Village Attorney Knickerbocker.
The Rural Fire Protection District would not file an objection but thought it was
important that their concerns regarding the annexation's negative impact was
made a part of the record.
Eric Mandel; owner of the property, approached the Board stating the
annexation would be of no benefit to him since both his property tax and sales
tax would be increased, not to mention other financial issues that would result.
He noted he is satisfied with the services of the township and he is not in favor
of the annexation.
Mayor Johnson explained that the property in question is completely surrounded
by the Village of Elk Grove and it is a common practice for municipalities to
annex those properties into the Village boundaries. It was noted that Village
Attorney Knickerbocker had attempted to contact the owner several times with
no response until a formal notice was sent.
Mayor Johnson stated the Village Board has directed Village Attorney
Knickerbocker to work with the owner and make sure there is as little impact on
the owner as possible.
The Mayor explained that former Village Boards had annexed other properties
bounded by the Village of Elk Grove and there are plans in the future for
additional annexations.
Motion to adopt Ordinance No. 3183 entitled, "AN ORDINANCE
ANNEXING CERTAIN PROPERTY TO THE VILLAGE AND
REZONING SAME IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE VILLAGE'S
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND ZONING MAP."
