REPORT OF THE MAYOR AND BOARD OF TRUSTEES Mayor Johnson announced that Cook County has notified the Village that they have quite a bit of money available from grants to help people who had any type of flood damage or water damage from the flooding which occurred between September 13, 2008 and October 5, 2008. On Monday, May 17, 2010 at 6:00 p.m. in Council Chambers there will be a meeting with representatives from Cook County including Commissioner Tim Schneider to help residents recoup some of the damages from the 2008 flooding. Bring pictures, receipts or other proof of damages that evening or you can make an appointment and someone from the County will come to your house to go over your damages. There is a chance that any damages that were not covered by insurance can be recouped. The County has stated that 90% of the people get compensation back for the damages incurred. The meeting is open to everyone and will be from 6:00 p.m. until 9:00 p.m. On May 1, 2010 the first of three Coffees with the Board was held. All the Board members were present and a few residents attended. Mayor Johnson announced two new restaurants will be opening in the Town Center area. By the end of June a new Mexican Restaurant called "Good Tequila" will be opening in the old La Magdalena location and an Asian Buffet Restaurant called "Vari Asian Crazy Buffet" serving Chinese, Japanese and Thai food will be opening sometime the end of August in the old Topa location. Both restaurants have signed leases and will be opening. The vacancy rate in the Industrial Park which was at an all-time high of 15% at the end of last year has dropped by over one percent. The vacancy rate is at 13.8%. Businesses are starting to come back into the Village. The 1.2% represents 1.2 million square feet of space that was vacant and is now being occupied. � 1 VBM 5-11-2010 I There was an article in the Chicago Tribune on April 30, 2010 stating that many towns are taking advantage of very good rates on construction projects. Mayor Johnson stated there were going to be some items discussed under the Capital Improvements Committee due to the good bid the Village received for our Road Resurfacing Program. We are able to add five more streets to the program because the bid came in a quarter of a million dollars under budget. Construction trades are looking for business. The Village will be going out to bid for the second largest Public Works project in the history of Elk Grove Village. We are going to be rebuilding some streets, sewer lines and water mains and making culvert improvements in the Industrial Park. Thirteen million dollars of work will be bid very shortly. We will be taking advantage of the Federal Government `Build America Bonds" which lowers our interest rates by one-third. Because of this, the thirteen million dollars of work may actually get us close to twenty million dollars worth of work. We are going to take advantage of the opportunity to keep the Village strong, viable and attractive to new businesses now and for many years to come. Mayor Johnson reminded the audience that our concert series is coming. The series will start with a concert sponsored by Jack Groat through the Little Boots Rodeo. The first concert will be on June 26, 2010 in the Village Green featuring Gary Lewis and the Playboys. The Village sponsored concerts will be every Tuesday in July at 7:30 p.m. This year's concerts will feature Jefferson Starship, Peter Noonan and Herman's Hermits, Ides of March and Rhythm Method. There will be five free concerts held in the Village Green, the fountain will be on for the kids and there will be a food vendor with family friendly pricing. The Bike Race will be July 30, July 31 and August 1, 2010. New to the Bike Race this year is a "Trustee Yard Sign Challenge". The Road Stage race takes place on Saturday with the top pro racers riding ten laps for one hundred miles throughout the community. Anyone living on a street within the race area can participate by putting out a welcome sign for the racers. Whoever puts out the best and most unique sign has a chance to win one of three prizes. Elk Grove Village Bank & Trust has donated three prizes, $500.00 Visa Card for first place, $300.00 Visa Card for second place and a$200.00 Visa Card for third place. The Village Trustees will visit all the streets on the race route and pick the top three winners. It is an opportunity to win some money and also show the pride of Elk Grove Village as racers from around the world ride through our community. Awards—Community Character Coalition—Mayor Johnson explained that tonight we would be recognizing and thanking the youth of the community who have given back to the community through fundraising, volunteering and helping the people of Elk Grove. Mayor Johnson asked Betsy Boswell from the Community Character Coalition to join him at the podium. Betsy Boswell explained that for the past several years we have been recognizing the youth in our community for all the great community service they perform to make where we live, work and worship a better place to be. Ms. Boswell asked that we pray for our youth, they are our future leaders and are doing a great job and we are glad to recognize them tonight. Participants in the following groups were honored as follows: i • Elk Grove High School Leadership Council • Grove Jr. High Students on Board for Success • Rupley School House of Voices • Prince of Peace United Methodist Church Youth Group • Grove Jr. High Action for Others • District 214 N.J.R.O.T.C. • Elk Grove High School Peer Helpers • Holmes Jr. High Choir • Gino Piscopo— St. Baldricks Cancer Research for Children • Julia Smith—autism research • Elk Grove Student Council • Brentwood School Leadership Team • Grove Jr. High French Club • Elk Grove Leo Club 2 VBM 5-11-2010 Each group explained the programs they participated in and each representative received a certificate and a chocolate Village Logo. Ms. Boswell asked Birdie Bisciglia to join her and Mayor Johnson at the podium to present the Fallen Soldier Memorial Scholarships from the Community Character Coalition and the Village of Elk Grove. Three $2;000.00 scholarships were available. Ms. Bisciglia explained that twelve scholarship applications were received this year and after reading all the applications they were so impressed with the academic achievements, extracurricular activities and community service that each of the applicants had shown. Each applicant also had to submit an essay on"what citizenship means to me". The Fallen Soldier Memorial scholarships are in honor of the young soldiers from our own community who gave their lives fighting in the war for freedom. Scholarships were presented to Kevin Reddington, Conant High School and Ka Wing Yuan, Elk Grove High School. Each recipient explained their contributions to their school and community. The third recipient was unable to attend and will be awarded their scholarship at the next Village Board Meeting. Mayor Johnson explained the money for the Fallen Soldier Memorial Scholarships is raised through the bike race. The Tour of Elk Grove has designated two charities it donates to from participant entrance fees and a charity time trial. Part of the money goes to the Heart of A Marine Foundation which serves personnel in all branches of the military and part goes to scholarships for the youth of the community. It is all done in memory of those that paid the highest price on our behalf, the four youth of Elk Grove Village who gave their lives. The same charities will be designated for next year. The Mayor said it was nice to see and hear about all of the money raised and time given to the community from all the young people in the audience. It shows they care about their community and others. The Mayor thanked the youth and stated they were all examples for everyone to watch and follow and they make Elk Grove the Exceptional Community. Betsy Boswell thanked the Mayor and Board for hosting the event and for recognizing the youth of the community and the good work they do. A group picture was taken with Mayor Johnson. Trustee Czarmk stated that several of the Trustees attended the Elk Grove Interfaith Council breakfast on May 6, 2010.

Mr. Clery confirmed for the Petitioner that upon purchase of the building wheel-stops would be installed and improvements made to the landscaping.

It was confirmed the Petitioner will improve the paving of both parking lots and will pave two parking spots behind the building.

Trustee Petri questioned the new location of the driveway on the plans stating it didn*t look like the driveway matched up with the entrance.

UNFINISHED BUSINESS Village Board - None Village Attorney - None I 21. REPORT FROM THE VILLAGE MANAGER No Report 22. NEW BUSINESS Trustee Lissner stated that he and Paul Petzold were at the Plan Commission meeting for the Special Use item which was approved this evening and he was very impressed with how the Plan Commission Members were working with the Petitioner at the meeting to work out some problems to get them into business. Even though the vote was 7-1, the one no vote was on a procedural issue. The Commissioners mentioned to Trustee Lissner that they have been getting quite a few Special Use Applications for automotive businesses in I-1 and I-2 zoning districts and that the Board and the Village might want to reconsider and change it to be handled by staff instead of going to the Plan Commission. Trustee Lissner stated the Business Park is changing and these types of businesses are probably going to be more typical. Mayor Johnson responded that he likes having the ability to oversee and control and would not want to see the Business Park become a giant automotive repair community. The Mayor feels the process is working well the way it is right now. When it goes to the Plan Commission we have more authority to make sure it conforms to the local uses. Mayor Johnson stated it was a Board decision but he hates to circumvent the procedures we have now because automotive businesses can create issues such as pollution, noise, selling, etc. The Mayor stated Mr. Boffice, Director of Engineering & Community Development, gets nervous with automotive businesses in case the buildings are not designed to handle automotive work with oil and whether the correct drains and fire 9 VBM 5-11-2010 protection are in place. Mr. Boffice agreed with the Mayor and stated there have been a few automotive Special Use but not too many to handle each case separately with the Plan Commission. Mayor Johnson felt Trustee Lissner brought up a good point and asked Mr. Boffice if he likes the system as it is right now. Mr. Boffice stated the Engineering Department does like to handle these as a Special Use Permit and have the control over it if any special situations or conditions are needed on the permit that are unique to each individual lot or application and they would still like to have that ability. Trustee Petri stated with a Special Use once someone would go out of business the Special Use is no longer in effect, it reverts back to the original zoning. Trustee Petri asked Mr. Boffice if the Petitioner from this evening asked for a sign. Mr. Boffice stated as far as he knew there was no application for a sign therefore they will have to follow the current sign regulations. Mayor Johnson stated they probably wouldn't want a sign because they are not looking for business off the street, they are buying cars and fixing them to sell back. Trustee Lissner stated he was not being argumentative, he was just passing on what he had heard from the Plan Commissioners and that all of the issues mentioned would not be ignored but it would become more of a staff process than a Plan Commission issue. Mayor Johnson reiterated that by having the Special Use it gives the Village a little more control. Trustee Czarnik announced the Frank J. Czarnik Scholarship is available. Applications are due May 21, 2010. There are two one thousand dollar scholarships available. Applications are available at Elk Grove High School, Conant High School, St. Viator High School and the Park District.
