Lions Club Candy Days - Mayor Johnson announced that the Lions Club would conduct
their annual "Lions Candy Day'' collection on Friday and Saturday, October 9 and 10,
2009. Residents were encouraged to donate generously to an organization that
contributes to Elk Grove Village in many ways.
Video Gambling - Mayor Johnson stated many communities have taken a stance on a
new law that allows video gambling machines in Illinois communities. The Mayor
pointed out that at this time Elk Grove Village has not taken any position regarding video
gambling machines. The Illinois Gaming Board, who has oversight of video gambling,
has yet to define the rules. When a firm plan is in place and has been reviewed by the
Elk Grove staff and legal counsel, the Board will address the topic. The Board felt it
would be premature to make a decision whether it is wanted or not wanted in the
Community. Any business that has sent inquiries will receive a letter explaining the
above. The Board will also review information on video gambling in other areas, States,
and get as much information as possible. Public comment will be invited as was done
when Off Track Betting (OTB) came to the community. Until the Board sees the full
picture they are not going to make any decisions or begin the process. The Mayor
assured the audience that the community would be advised prior to any decisions made.
IDOT Public Hearing - The Mayor referenced Consent Agenda Item H. adopting a
Resolution designating "Alternative 203" as the locally preferred selection for the
construction of the Elgin O'Hare-West Bypass with corresponding North and South
Connections.
Mayor Johnson reported a final public hearing would be held on October 8, 2009 at
the Belvedere Banquets in Elk Grove Village. The Mayor spoke of the 40,000 comment
cards turned into IDOT at the public hearing held in March 2009 supporting the option
that located the roadway on airport property. It was noted IDOT had eliminated Busse
Road as the roadway and are now deciding if the road would be built on airport property
or by widening Elmhurst Road.
The Mayor noted the Resolution adopted this evening has the continued support of all the
agencies that supported the Village in March. Those agencies have reaffirmed their
position as stated on the 40,000 comment cards submitted to IDOT. The Mayor said he is
optimistic that by November or December IDOT would make a decision. Elk Grove is
still in a good position and the comment cards would count in the public hearing on the
8th
Food Pantry—A representative from the Elk Grove Police and the Fire Department
joined the Mayor at the podium. Police Officer Russell Sullivan reported a charity soft
ball game was held at Alexian Brothers Flyers Field in June between the Elk Grove
Public Safety Team and the Mt. Prospect team. The Elk Grove team won by a score of
13 to 3 and was awarded a trophy to be kept and displayed in Elk Grove Village. Officer
Sullivan noted they have made an agreement with Mt. Prospect-to make this an annual
event.
The Police and Fire team raised a $400.00 donation for the food pantry as a result of the
event. Sheri Shapiro accepted the donation on behalf of the Elk Grove Presbyterian
Church Food Pantry and thanked the Police and Fire Department for the generous
donation. Mrs. Shapiro noted the Pantry is 20 years old and that within the last year the
number of households needing assistance had increased by sixty-two percent. The Mayor
was then presented the "game ball''.

successful and was well attended. Everyone had a good time. Trustee Feichter thanked
