MOTION CARRIED
O'Hare Ai art—Mayor Johnson referenced a March 28, 2011 Crain's Chicago Business article
about O'Hare Airport. The article was consistent with the opinion of Mayor Johnson and the
Board, if the City of Chicago isn't careful with the modernization project they are going to.price__...
themselves right out of business.
The Mayor also referenced an article in the Chicago Tribune about the former Village President
of Bensenville, John Geils. President Geils is questioning the amount of money that is being
pumped into the O'Hare project. There is a federal law called a Cost Benefit Analysis. The
benefits have to outweigh the costs and expenditures at the airport. President Geils wants an
investigation because the Federal Government keeps pumping money into the project. Another
$155 million in federal funds was just committed. With the state of the economy, there should
be an investigation into where this money is coming from. The costs are up to $18 billion dollars
and that doesn't even cover the costs to complete the project.

There was another article in the Chicago Tribune on March 28, 2011 stating O'Hare runway
construction is flying into danger zone. An FAA report shows that the O'Hare project holds a
great risk for potential crashes. The Mayor and Board have always been concerned about the
safety of the airport expansion.
The Daily Herald published an article on March 28, 2011 about the western terminal. Mayor
Johnson stated he and the Board have always known that a western terminal was not going to be
built. The airlines have no desire to have a western terminal. The cost is too high and the
logistics too difficult. The initial promise to the western suburbs and DuPage County is not
being fulfilled.
Mayor Johnson and the Board will continue to follow the project and report updates to the
community.
Elk Grove Business Park— Mayor Johnson presented information from an Elk Grove Village
press release about several new companies moving to Elk Grove Village and expansion of
current businesses in the Business Park. The vacancy rate in the business park has dropped to a
rate of 12.26%. Elk Grove Village has invested over $50 million dollars into enhancing the
infrastructure of the business park over the last ten years.
Election—Mayor Johnson announced the unofficial election results from the April 5, 2011
election. The unofficial vote totals were as follows: Trustee Sam Lissner— 1,496, Trustee James
Petri — 1,432, Trustee Nancy Czarnik— 1564, and Timothy Burns— 762. All three current
Trustees were re-elected. Mayor Johnson thanked the community for showing their support to
the current Board for all of their hard work and efforts to benefit the Village.
Mayor Johnson expressed his sympathy to Trustee Feichter on the recent passing of his son,
Laurence Feichter. A college fund has been established for Trustee Feichter's granddaughter
Lucy. Anyone interested in making a donation can do so at Elk Grove Bank& Trust.
Oaths of Office—Mayor Johnson administered Oaths of Office to Ryan Bookler and Gilbert
Schumm. Ryan Bookler was appointed to the Zoning Board of Appeals and Gilbert Schumm
was appointed to the Plan Commission.
Trustee Prochno stated she serves on the Board of Directors of the Kenneth Young Center. The
Kenneth Young Center is a Mental Health Center in Elk Grove Village. Trustee Prochno read an
email which she received from Mitch Bruski, Executive Director of the Kenneth Young Center.
The email detailed the status of mental health services. Due to the result of State funding cuts
this year, 40% or about 300 clients of the Kenneth Young Center were no longer eligible for
service and new eligibility rules from October have prevented an additional 300 clients from
receiving services this year.
The Governor is proposing to cut all non-Medicaid services in fiscal year 2012 which would stop
treatment for another 200 clients. Mr. Bruski asked that his concerns over the cuts and the
impact they will have be shared with the community. Suggestions for ways to help support the
Kenneth Young Center include contacting your State Representative and Senator asking that they
actively support funding your local mental health facility. Charitable donations and donations to
the Resale Shop would be appreciated.
A fundraising event, "Walk for the Mental Health of It" will be held Saturday, May 7, 2011 at
Busse Woods. Check-in will begin at 8:00 a.m. and the three mile walk will begin at 9:00 a.m.
Anyone interested in participating can contact the Kenneth Young Center at 847/524-8800 or
visit the website at www.kennethvoung.org.
Trustee Lissner stated he was going to wait for the official election results before commenting
about the election. It was a long couple of months and it was encouraging to see the results.
Trustee Lissner commented that the Trustees will be supporting the whole community whether
residents voted for them or not. Trustee Lissner thanked everyone that voted for the Trustees.
It was noted that voter turnout was very low, only 10% of the registered voters in Elk Grove
Village voted in this election.
2 VBM 4-12-11
Trustee Petri stated that he and Village Manager Rummel attended a special Northwest
Municipal Conference meeting on April 6, 2011. It was an important meeting about the actions
the State has contemplated to take away Village money, approximately 3.5 million dollars. The
Northwest Municipal Conference is trying to fight this and the matter will be discussed further in
two weeks at the regular meeting of the Northwest Municipal Conference.
There is a Sister Cities meeting on Monday, April 18, 2011 at 7:00 p.m. in conference rooms A,

recommendation from the Plan Commission that would allow the construction and operation of

allow athletic fields in a B-1 Business District.

Petitioner Eva Strzelczynska is present to answer any questions.
