Trustee's Conference Room to discuss the possibility of a Class 6B application fee. The fee is to
recover the cost to the Village for processing the applications.
Trustee Lissner gave a status report on the No-Idle-Zone Ordinance. Brochures went out to all
the schools last year and are also available at Village Hall. Two items still open for discussion
are the placement of signs and the type of signs. There are a couple of types of signs to choose
from. Options were discussed at the last ICRC meeting. The signs look very nice and are less

10. PERSONNEL COMMITTEE - CHAIRMAN FRANKE—No Report
11. RECYCLING & WASTE COMMITTEE —CHAIRMAN FEICHTER—Trustee
Feichter stated he had heard that Evanston is considering banning plastic grocery bags.
California is also considering banning them. Trustee Feichter read that the plastic bags can last
up to one thousand years before they disintegrate. Bags should be brought back to the stores for
recycling. They should not be put in your recycling bins. One of the best options is to use the
reusable cloth bags that are available at many of the stores.
12. INFORMATION COMMITTEE - TRUSTEE PROCHNO —No Report
13. INDUSTRIAL/COMMERCIAL REVITALIZATION COMMISSION -TRUSTEES
LISSNERIPETRI —The Industrial/Commercial Revitalization Commission met at noon on
April 21, 2011. Trustee Petri stated that sign options were discussed as Trustee Lissner
referenced in his Judiciary, Planning & Zoning Committee report. The ICRC also discussed
signs for the Business Park. There are over 3000 signs in the Business Park. Those signs will be
cut to at least half the amount and will all be updated, revised and rehabilitated. Black poles will
be used and the signs will have a black back. There will be no frames or tops on the posts. Post
tops would only be for decorative purposes and not having them will save approximately $60.00
per sign.
In addition to signs, the Business Park was discussed in general. The next Industrial/Commercial
Revitalization Commission meeting will be May 12, 2011 at 5:30 p.m. to review the new Master
Plan to revitalize the Business Park.
Three projects are currently underway, Busse Road & Greenleaf Avenue, Busse Road & Pratt
Boulevard Intersection Projects and Biesterfield Road & I-290 Intersection project.
Trustee Lissner made note of the Class 6B on the Consent Agenda. If approved by Cook
County, this company could bring up to forty or fifty jobs to the Village. It is a company that
would be moving from Chicago to Elk Grove Village.
Trustee Lissner reported the Commission voted to have lighted street signs installed at
approximately six intersections along Busse Road. The signs are great for night driving and will
be a real plus for Elk Grove Village. Trustee Petri noted that Matt Roan, Deputy Village
Manager, is looking into getting the lighted signs installed in other areas of the Village also.
Trustee Lissner complimented Josh Grodzin, Director of Business Development & Marketing,
on keeping the Industrial/Commercial Revitalization Commission apprised of meetings and tours
he has with companies within the Business Park. A Village website, elkgrovesites.com, has been
developed to list all the available properties within the Village. In addition, the Village is also on
Twitter at Twitter.com/egvbusinesspark.
