4. MAYOR & BOARD OF TRUSTEES' REPORT -
Mayor Johnson –
Mayor Johnson attended the following meetings:
January 25 – Tollway Board Meeting
January 25 – Meeting with Mike Sweeney, Elk Grove Township, regarding the land swap of the
Landmeier property and the Chelmsford property. The Village plans to sell the Chelmsford property
to the Park District in the spring.
February 3 – Coffee with the Mayor and Board of Trustees had a great turnout. We appreciate the
opportunity to meet with the residents.
The Village broke a record for nine straight days of measureable snow. Public Works activated the salt
and plowing operations every day, which takes approximately 4-5 hours. Public Works did a phenomenal
job!
Items mentioned on social media:
- The Village should plow sidewalks as well as the streets.
It is difficult for the Village to plow over 300 miles of sidewalks in the Village. Public Works will plow
the crosswalks near schools for public safety reasons but the Village cannot set up operations to clear
all of the sidewalks. Occasionally a plow will push the snow to the corners of an intersection and
crews will go back and clear the snow for people to cross the street. Residents and business owners
are asked to please keep the sidewalk in front of your property clear. Please remember the Pace bus
offers the Dial-a-Ride Service that is door-to-door to assist residents that are unable to drive.
- A resident stated that the Village paid for all of the sidewalks along Arlington Heights Road.
Cook County owns Arlington Heights Road including the sidewalks so it is the County’s responsibility
to clear the sidewalks along their roads in the Village.
Mayor Johnson stated that the residents are welcome to call him at home if they have questions on
anything to get the correct information. 847-437-8226
Tobacco update – Approximately eleven years ago, towns were moving towards a smoke-free community
for public places. Elk Grove got on board with it and the state very quickly followed our lead. Elk Grove
Village recently increased the age to purchase tobacco products to 21 years of age and over and the state
has now introduced new legislation to make the entire state 21 years of age and over.
Mayor Johnson read an article regarding how companies in the tobacco industry control the impact and
delivery of nicotine to maximize the ingestion of nicotine.
Daily Herald article regarding Pensions – The Village has received numerous phone calls due to a recent
article that appeared on the front page of the Daily Herald regarding pensions. The article misinformed
Page 2 of 5
the public by using the wrong numbers to compare the surrounding communities. Some towns follow a
calendar year and some have a fiscal year from May 1 through April 30.
The Village sent a Letter to the Editor to set the facts straight and will also put out a Special Newsletter.
Presentation:
The Village Board is proud of how well the Village works with the employees as well as the union
representatives. Last spring an unprecedented five-year contract was signed with the Public Works
union and today a five-year extension will be signed with the Fire union. This five-year contract does not
go into effect until May 1, 2019 and will go through April 30, 2024.
Mayor Johnson asked the Fire Union representatives, Brian McVeigh and John Lodewyck to join him in
front of the dais for the signing ceremony of the IAFF Union Contract. Mayor complimented the Fire
Department on the positive working relationship they have had with the Village to come to a mutual
agreement.

residents.
