Trustee Lissner attended the February 24, 2010 Joint Action Water Agency meeting in Schaumburg on behalf of the Mayor. Trustee Lissner pointed out that this is the third year of the 45% increase from the City of Chicago. There has been a 15% increase per year for the past three years. There has been no word on an increase for next year. Another item was the overall water usage for the Agency is down 5% from the previous year. Trustee Lissner noted that it looked like Elk Grove was down 10 to 11%. Some of the reasons given for the decrease were the cost increase, the economy, a wet summer, people conserving and the rain barrels. Mayor Johnson stated that we have been watching very closely because there have been some reports that Chicago may privatize its water. If that happens there can be some major increases. We do have a few years left on our contract but will be keeping our eyes open for alternatives when our contract expires. Trustee Petri will be attending the Solid Waste Agency and Northwest Municipal Conference tomorrow night, Wednesday March 10, 2010. 5.

RECYCLING & WASTE COMMITTEE—CHAIRMAN FEICHTER Trustee Feichter announced that all residents should have received a Recycling & Waste newsletter recently. If not, copies are available at the Health & Community Services Department. Trustee Feichter noted that recycling is down in Elk Grove Village and it was in question whether it was due to the economy and people buying less or if people have become lax. Trustee Feichter asked that everyone please recycle and advised that there is important information in the newsletter about recycling, yard waste collection, bulk item pickup and numerous other things. The newsletter was not printed at the taxpayer's expense; it was the result of a prize the Village had won in the past for recycling cans. 12.

If you are interested in getting tickets you can email the District at www.rte66.org. Mayor Johnson reminded everyone that they will be receiving their Census form. It is only ten questions. The Mayor asked that everyone please make sure and fill out the forms. It makes a big difference. There are a lot more stimulus programs available to us if we have over 35,000 residents. If you dont fill out the form a Census taker will come to your door. The form is confidential and it can really help the community. Trustee Lissner cautioned residents to be aware of scam artists that are sending out emails and going door to door claiming to be census takers. They should never ask for a social security number and the actual census takers should all have identification. The census form will come in the mail.
