Item m. on the agenda tonight formerly adopts and accepts Cook County's final vote totals
from the April election. The vote total was 2,016 people,which is actually the highest vote
count in the past ten years. It is good that the numbers are going up but it is still only about
9% of the total population in Elk Grove Village.
The Mayor announced that the Village experienced 5.2" of rain with recent storms. The
large volume on Sunday night gave us the opportunity to test the operation of the Dam. We
knew that the large volume of rain would have caused significant flooding in the past and
the Dam was tested and worked perfectly. The water level was much lower than in
previous years and the Dam helped to minimize the amount of water and shorten the
duration of flooding.
