4. REPORT OF THE MAYOR AND BOARD OF TRUSTEES
Mayor Johnson reported that this Monday, October 4, 2010 the Village will be holding a
special meeting for business property owners in the Elk Grove Township part of Elk
Grove Village.
i Numerous businesses have been contacting Mayor Johnson regarding the recent property
tax reassessments from the Cook County Assessor they have received. The Business
Park is seeing a significant increase. Mayor Johnson stated some examples of business
property tax assessments going from 76,000 up to 141,000 and another from 40,000 to
120.000.
Schaumburg Township businesses were reassessed last year. The Village is inviting all
Elk Grove Township business property owners to Belvedere Banquets on Monday.
October 4, 2010 from 7:30 a.m. to 9:00 a.m., a free breakfast will be provided. Connie
Carosielli, Elk Grove Township Assessor, will be in attendance to provide guidance with
the appeals process.
The Mayor stated that Elk Grove is probably one of the few government entities out there
that encourage property owners to appeal if they feel they are unfairly assessed. The
Village wants everyone to pay their property taxes, but wants everyone to only pay their
fair share.
Business owners have expressed to the Mayor that if the taxes follow suit with the
assessment they will have to move their businesses out of Elk Grove. They would not be
able to afford to stay in Elk Grove Village. We do not want to see businesses leave Elk
Grove Village and if a business has been unfairly assessed, the Village wants to help.

Mayor Johnson encouraged business owners to attend. Residential property assessments
also went out but Mayor Johnson stated that he has heard from residents that they have
either stayed the same, gone down slightly or up slightly. There has not been anywhere
near the size of increase as there has been on the business side. Any residents that feel
they have been unfairly assessed should go to the Elk Grove Township Hall on Arlington
Heights Road and they will help you with the appeal process.
Time is of the essence for businesses to appeal. The deadline to appeal is October 21,
2010.
Mayor Johnson presented Trustee Feichter with a proclamation for the Lions Club
proclaiming October 8, 2010 "Lions Candy Day" in Elk Grove Village. People will be at
street corners collecting donations and handing out rolls of lifesavers. The money
collected is used by the Lions Club for all the good they do for Elk Grove Village and
throughout the world.
The Mayor stated he was disappointed that the Daily Herald Reporter was not in
attendance at the Board meeting this evening and further stated that she had done a fine
job reporting about the Red Light Camera presentation given at our last Board meeting.
Mayor Johnson stated he was also disappointed by an article in the Sunday Daily Herald
by Mami Pyke stating"Red Light camera shocker—Villages find device ineffective".
Ms. Pyke references Elk Grove Village and Lombard in her article. The Mayor stated he
could not speak on behalf of Lombard but Elk Grove Village has found the Red Light
cameras very effective. They have dropped the accidents at some intersections by as
much as 76%. Despite what Ms. Pyke states in her article, Elk Grove is very supportive
of Red Light cameras. Mayor Johnson reiterated from the last meeting that the Village
will be putting the cameras to a test and the bottom line in Elk Grove Village comes
down to three words: safety, safety safety! The Mayor stated his disappointment in the
paper not reporting accurately.
Mayor Johnson went to the podium and asked Andy Jones, Ernie Spina, Brian Wright
and Raymond Lee to join him. The Mayor introduced Andy Jones from MTI
Construction Services, LLC. Mr. Jones stated MTI is very proud to be a part of the
presentation tonight along with their colleagues from SRBL Architects. Mr. Jones said
j this is another first in the relationship between MTI and the Village of Elk Grove.
i
MTI did their first construction management project for Elk Grove Village twenty five
years ago with the construction and design of the original portion of the Village Hall
building. The new Police Station and Administrative Offices is the sixth project that MTI
has done for Elk Grove Village. The Administration Offices and Police Station was the
I first LEED project for MTI. MTI and SRBL are proud to have provided the design and
construction of the new LEED GOLD Police and Administration facility. This is the first
Village Hall that has been certified as a LEED GOLD facility in the State of Illinois.
I
Brian Wright of SRBL Architects congratulated Mayor Johnson and the Board for their
commitment to going green. Mr. Wright stated Elk Grove Village is a leader in their
community and has set an example for the businesses in Elk Grove Village. Mayor
Johnson acknowledged and introduced Jeff Sebert from Sebert Landscaping in the
audience. Sebert Landscaping put in all the plantings around Village Hall. Mr. Sebert
notified the Village that his new landscaping facility in Bartlett is going for LEED GOLD
certification also. Mayor Johnson thanked Mr. Sebert for his contributions towards the
Village's certification. Special plantings had to be used and landscaping played an
important role in the certification.
Mr. Wright announced the Village achieved 41 points out of the required 39 points for
LEED GOLD certification. Mr. Wright offered some statistics stating that buildings
represent 40% of our nation's energy use, 72% of electrical consumption, 39% of CO2
I emissions and 13.6% of the nation's potable water consumption.

In comparison, the new Police Department and Administration offices recycled 90% of
its construction debris, saving on energy and resources, 21% of the materials used were
recycled materials, uses 42% less water consumption, 72% of the products were
manufactured regionally, 100% of the furniture is formaldehyde free and the building is
designed to save over 35.7% in energy usage.
All of the listed features are designed to improve workplace satisfaction, increase energy
and performance, minimize strain on local infrastructure and optimize life cycle
performance.
Mr. Wright stated that SRBL Architects was thrilled to be a part of the project and
presented Mayor Johnson and the Board of Trustees with a LEED GOLD Plaque
representing the first LEED GOLD Village Hall in Illinois.
Mayor Johnson stated that LEED certification was an important aspect of the new
building to himself and the Village Board. The Village Hall renovation process began by
looking for a new location for the Village Hall or the Police Department but it made more
sense,just like recycling, to reuse this location. Very early in the process the Board
decided they wanted to set a standard for the businesses here in Elk Grove Village that it
made economic sense for the business community to think about going environmentally
sound and safe.
The payback on the two million dollar investment to make Village Hall a LEED certified
Village Hall is less than seven years. After seven years the building will be saving the
taxpayers of this community money. It makes economic sense when you are building or
renovating to go green.
A group picture was taken with Mayor Johnson and the Board, Police Chief Schmidt,
Village Manager Rummel, Deputy Village Manager Roan, MTI Construction
representatives and SRBL Architects representatives with the LEED GOLD Plaque.
Trustee Feichter thanked Mayor Johnson for recognizing the Elk Grove Village Lions
Candy Day that is coming up on October 8, 2010. It is such an important fundraiser.
Trustee Feichter stated the people of Elk Grove Village have always been so generous
with their donations. Donations are used to help the blind and the deaf. Camp Lions is a
camp that is run for children who are visually and hearing impaired. Last summer a boy
from Elk Grove Village was sponsored by the Elk Grove Lions Club and was able to
attend Camp Lions free of charge. The Lions Club provides glasses and hearing aids for
needy adults and children. They provide diabetic eye screenings and also conduct
hearing and vision screenings.
Trustee Feichter thanked Mayor Johnson and the Board for supporting the Community
Character Coalition. On September 16, 2010 Community Character Coalition held their
annual Social. It was a huge success. There were lots of people there. Miss Illinois
attended and gave a great speech. Trustee Feichter thanked Tasty Catering for providing
food for everyone at no charge.
On October 23, 2010, Make a Difference Day, the Community Character Coalition will
be sponsoring"Pack the Pantry". Representatives will be standing outside various stores
asking people for donations. Trustee Feichter and Trustee Prochno will be outside of
Walmart. People will be asked to donate different items such as deodorant, toothpaste,
soap, shampoo, etc. for the food pantry.
Trustee Franke announced the final CERT class of the year will be starting October 15,
2010. It is a weekend class which will be held Friday, October 15`h, Saturday, October
161h and Saturday, October 23`d. Anyone interested in signing up should call the Fire

Trustee Prochno announced that this Friday is Elk Grove High School's homecoming.
There will be fireworks that evening. Trustee Prochno wanted to advise everyone in
advance so that people don't get scared or concerned when they hear the noise. Mayor
Johnson stated he provides fireworks for homecoming every year.
Trustee Prochno announced this Sunday, October 3, 2010 will be the annual Fire and
Police Department Open House. The Open House will be from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. at
the Biesterfield Fire Station adjacent to Village Hall. There will be tours and
demonstrations by both Departments.
Trustee Petri reported on the Sister Cities trip to Italy. There was a dinner celebration for
the ten year anniversary of the Village's Sister City relationship with Termini Imerese.
Trustee Petri and Police Chief Schmidt were there to represent the Village. Trustee Petri
stated it was a great time and it was good to see all the friends that they have met over the
years. This was Trustee Petri's fourth trip there and he said it was like going home to
family. They presented some awards to Elk Grove Village and Trustee Petri presented
some awards to them.
Termini Imerese is planning a trip to Elk Grove next fall and this year there is a student
exchange. There are going to be ten students from Termini who are fluent in English
coming to stay with ten students from Elk Grove who are fluent in Italian. They are
going to be here over Thanksgiving. They will be spending two days at the high school
and the other days they will be out participating in cultural events. Trustee Petri invited
them to the Tree Lighting Ceremony on the day after Thanksgiving. It was decided that
they would be the honored guests at the Tree Lighting Ceremony to turn the lights on
with Mayor Johnson.
Trustee Czarnik reported that on Friday, September 24, 2010, Alexian Brothers had a
ceremony for the Gold Star Mothers. It was very impressive and moving with the red,
white and blue luminaries along Biesterfield and Leicester. Even more impressive is the
Portrait of a Soldier Exhibit in Alexian Brothers Medical Center's corridor. It is a display
of hand sketched portraits of fallen service members from Illinois. Trustee Czamik
recommended that everyone take the time to view the portraits. It is a fantastic tribute to
our fallen heroes.

Trustee Petri stated that several people have questioned him at different times how
quickly the Board approves the Accounts Payable Warrants for such large sums of
money. Trustee Petri explained that the items approved are all budgeted items that have
been put together by staff and Department Heads, reviewed by the Village Manager and
i then presented to the Village Board. The Board has a meeting in March to review all of
the items and approve them.
i 4 VBM 9-28-10
Tonight's Accounts Payable Warrant consists of 168 items that are listed line by line and
can be reviewed by anyone. Trustee Petri made note that $645,000.00 is a lot of money
but two of the line items on the Warrant were $102,000.00 for the construction of the
Beisner water main.project and $210,000.00 for the Delphia water main project. There is
another line item of$25,000.00 going to Bensenville for water and sewer service south of
Devon Avenue, but that is money the Village receives back. Trustee Petri stated that we
pay all of the bills on the Warrant but that it does not reflect the Accounts Receivable.
Trustee Petri confirmed that every item on the Warrant is looked at very carefully.
Mayor Johnson stated that Trustee Petri brought up a good point and reiterated the
process that staff follows for the Budget. Mayor Johnson also stated that on the
Wednesday night, six days before the Village Board meeting, the Board receives a copy
of every line item that is to be paid. They are able to review each item and if they have
any questions are able to contact staff with those questions. The Mayor stated it would
be very time consuming to go over each line item at the Board meeting. If the Board
feels it is something that needs to be looked at and addressed, then it will be brought up
separately at the Board meeting. Mayor Johnson stated the Board does their homework
and that is why the Village has not had to raise property taxes in the last three years. The
Board is optimistic of the financial future for next year.

Over the last several weeks the Recycling & Waste Committee and the entire Board have
looked at the Village's Waste Hauling Contract that will be expiring. Two companies
were looked at, the current company Waste Management and another company, Groot
Industries. The Board looked into what they both had to offer and what would be the best
for the Village. It was a very difficult decision for the Board. It has gone on for several
weeks; there have been several counteroffers and negotiations. Every member of the
Board looked over and scrutinized all the issues very carefully. The Board looked at how
{ it would affect the different types of homes, how it will affect everyone over the next five
years; how the companies can help with special events, the environmental affects and the
types of trucks that would be used.
The Board met at Committee of the Whole this evening and decided unanimously to
support keeping Waste Management as the Village's waste hauler.
Motion for staff to prepare the necessary documents to award a five year extension
