4. REPORT OF THE MAYOR AND BOARD OF TRUSTEES—Mayor Johnson introduced
Attorney Bill Payne.
Mayor Johnson attended the Little Boots Rodeo on Saturday, June,23, 2012. The Mayor
competed against, and beat Svengoolie in a pig race.
On June 26, 2012 Mayor Johnson attended the Ground Breaking Ceremony.for the new Alexian
Brothers Medical Center Hospice Facility.
Mayor Johnson referenced a Cook County publication explaining how to read your property tax
bill which was recently featured in the Tribune and Herald newspapers. Mayor Johnson credited
Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle for providing the information; however the
County combined the Village tax and the Library tax together in the publication. The Library is
a separate entity from the Village,they have their own Board that sets their own tax rate and
levy. They tax in conjunction with the Village but they are a separate entity. Therefore, when
you look at the property tax rate in the publication, it isn't a true reflection of the Village tax. It
reflects the Library tax also.
Mayor Johnson stated this evenings Board meeting started early because the summer concert
series begins tonight. Tonight features Sbawn Klush, world's top professional Elvis
impersonator. Next week's concert features Peter Rivera, original lead vocalist of Rare Earth.
On July 24th CTA, a Chicago Tribute band will be here and Dennis DeYoung,the original voice
of Styx will be hereon July 31st for the last concert of the series. All concerts are on Tuesday
evening at 7:30 p.m.
The 7th annual Tour of Elk Grove is August 3, 4 and 5, 2012. Mayor Johnson advised he has a
press release available for the press in the audience. Some of the top Teams that will be
competing in the 2012 Alexian Brothers Tour of Elk Grove are Garmin-Sharp, Team Champion
Systems from China with world-acclaimed rider from Estonia, Jaan Kirspuu, Spider Tech and
EKOI. More teams will be announced in the future. Some of the top women riders will be
1 VBM 7-10-12
coming right from the Olympics to compete here in Elk Grove. A special Village Newsletter
with all the information about the bike race will be going out to residents this week.
Mayor Johnson gave a presentation clarifying recent property tax bills. For the fourth straight
year Elk Grove Village did not increase the general property tax rates. Elk Grove Village taxes
by dollar amount, not percentages. The only increase by the Village is the State mandated
amount for pension requirements.
Residents may see an increase in their taxes because of the reduction of the Homeowner and
Senior Exemptions made by the County. A loss in the amount of the exemption raises the
property tax. Cook County is shifting some of the tax burden from businesses to residents.
While the Village supports evening the tax burden between businesses and residents it is
unfortunate that the County is not doing it as gradual as the Village would like to see. The
Village strives to keep the Business Park vibrant and strong because growth of businesses and
filling vacant properties will help lessen the burden to residents with future tax rates.
Mayor Johnson explained that Elk Grove Village makes up a small portion of the entire tax bill.
The School Districts account for 65-69%, County, Township & Special Taxing Districts 12-13%,
Library & Park District 11-12% and Elk Grove Village 8-10%. Elk Grove Village still maintains
the lowest property tax rate in the Northwest Suburbs.
Mayor Johnson advised that Item Q on the Consent Agenda is an Ordinance about video gaming.
An Ordinance was adopted at the June 19, 2012 Village Board meeting to allow video gaming in
Elk Grove Village. That Ordinance is being rescinded and a new Ordinance with the exact same
wording is being adopted.
Mayor Johnson gave some background information and an explanation of why a new Ordinance
was being adopted, It was announced at the first Village Board meeting in May that video
gaming was going to be discussed at the May 22, 2012 meeting. The Mayor and Board asked for
the assistance of the press to get information in the paper about the issue so the public would be
aware of the meeting. The Daily Herald ran an article which stated the Village Board would be
discussing video gaming at a meeting on May 22, 2012 and the Mayor and Board encouraged
residents, businesses and any interested parties to.attend the meeting to voice their opinion.
On May 22"d under the Mayor's Report at Committee of the Whole, video gaming was brought
to the public. Anyone, whether they lived in Elk Grove Village, owned a business in Elk Grove
or not, was welcome to address the Board and give their opinion on the issue. It was a fact
finding meeting., At that meeting it was announced that the Board would be voting on the issue
at the June 19th Village Board meeting. The Daily Herald ran two more articles about video
gaming in Elk Grove Village after the May 22, 2012 meeting. All three of the Daily Herald
articles stated the Village Board would be taking legal action on video gaming at the June 19,
2012 Village Board meeting. The Village exceeded anyone's expectations of meeting the intent
of the law.
The Daily Herald wrote to the Illinois Attorney General questioning whether the Village acted
properly by taking action on the Ordinance at the June 19`h meeting. Mayor Johnson stated it is
ironic in the fact that the Daily Herald published three articles stating formal action was going to
be taken on video gaming at the June 19`h Village Board meeting.
The Mayor stated the Village is very careful and diligent to always "dot every I and cross every
T." Therefore, item Q. on the Consent Agenda rescinds the Ordinance adopted on June 19`h and
the Board will adopt a new Ordinance with the exact same wording. The Agenda was posted on
the Village website last Thursday afternoon, well ahead of the forty-eight hour requirement by
law. There was nothing done by the Village to hide the issue, it was made very public that video
gaming was going to be voted on at the June 19`h Board meeting. The Mayor stated he takes full
responsibility and feels the Village was very open and met the full intent of the law.
Oaths of Office—Deputy Police Chief, John Nowacki,joined Mayor Johnson at the podium.
Deputy Chief Nowacki introduced and gave brief backgrounds of Officer Anthony Mazzuca and
Officer Justin Wedekind. Mayor Johnson administered the Oath of Office to both Officers.
Each Officer thanked the Mayor and Board for the opportunity to work for the Elk Grove Police
Department and introduced family members in the audience.

Scholarships—Trustee Franke and Trustee Prochno joined Mayor Johnson at the podium. The
Youth Committee together with the Elk Grove Parks Foundation awards three one thousand
dollar scholarships annually. Trustee Franke complimented the quality of the thirty-one
applications received this year and thanked everyone who participated. Scholarships were
awarded to Connie Liou and Christopher Groat. Each recipient stated where they were attending
school in the fall and what they would be studying. The third scholarship was awarded by the
Park District to Joe Noto.
Trustee Prochno noted that the Youth Committee consists of six members, Trustee Franke and
herself from the Village, Park District Commissioners Bill O'Malley and Tom Cook, and
residents Rosanna Defrenza and Barb Lahtinen. In addition to awarding scholarships, the Youth
Committee sponsors and chaperones the Youth Splash Parties and participates in Adopt-a-
Family at.holiday times. Trustee Prochno thanked all the Committee members.
Trustee Franke announced the next CERT class starts Friday, July 14, 2012. There are still a few
openings for the class. Anyone interested in registering should contact Carl Sabo at (847) 357-
4193.
Trustee Lissner wished speedy recoveries to Village Attorney George Knickerbocker and Larry
Michalski, former member of the Zoning Board of Appeals.
Trustee Petri attended the annual Northwest Municipal Conference dinner and meeting on June
20, 2012. It was an excellent dinner and meeting. Hoffman Estates Mayor Bill McLeod was
named the new President of the Northwest Municipal Conference.
Trustee Feichter attended the Eagle Scout ceremony at Queen of the Rosary for David Vitale.
Trustee Feichter was impressed with the project that David did to receive the designation of
Eagle Scout. David collected 4000 books and had them shipped to a Church in New Mexico for
families in need. David had a team that helped him collect the books over several months.
Trustee Feichter congratulated David.
The Woodfield Convention & Visitors Bureau held their annual meeting. Brad Hintz of Top
Golf was elected Chairman of the Executive Committee and Chris Stabler from Arlington Park
will be the Committee Chairman next year. Trustee Feichter was re-elected as Vice-Chairman of
the Executive Committee.
The Community Character Coalition honored seven year old Elk Grove resident Izzy Ruiz. Izzy
set up a lemonade stand to raise money for charity. She raised $600.00 for the Chicago Shriners
Hospital.
Trustee Prochno stated the Little Boots Rodeo was held the last weekend in June. It was a two
day event held on Saturday and Sunday. Cowboy Jack Groat did a wonderful job. With a lot of
help and cooperation, the Rodeo gets bigger and better each year. Over one thousand children
attended the event this year. Trustee Prochno thanked Mr. Groat for bringing this event to the
community. All the money raised at the Rodeo is given back to the community. Donations are
given to School District 59 Foundation, Community Character Coalition and the Lions and
Lioness Clubs of Elk Grove.
Trustee Prochno thanked the Lions and Lioness Clubs of Elk Grove for supporting this year's 4`h
of July celebration.

6. CONSENT AGENDA
Mayor Johnson asked if anyone would like to address the Village Board on any items on the
Consent Agenda.
Robert Naumann, 1164 Lancaster Avenue, addressed the Village Board regarding item Q. Mr.
Naumann referenced the State Statute on video gaming and offered his opinion about how the
Village will regulate and license video gaming in Elk Grove Village.
Mayor Johnson assured Mr. Naumann that the Village is very strict with its liquor licensing and
liquor enforcement and the same will be true with the regulating and enforcement of video
gaming. The Mayor also commented that the State Statute is very vague where visibility and
separation is concerned.
Nancy Duel representing the Northern Illinois Conference of the United Methodist Church,
Prince of Peace United Methodist Church of Elk Grove and the League of Women Voters of the
Arlington Heights-Mount Prospect-Buffalo Grove Area, including Prospect Heights, Wheeling,
and E1k.Grove Village addressed the Village Board on the negative effects video gaming would
have on the Village.
Ms. Duel referenced actions taken on video gaming at the June 19, 2012 Village Board meeting.
Mayor Johnson stated it was announced several times in public and published in the newspaper
that the Board would be taking action on video gaming at the June 19`h meeting. Ms. Duel made
reference to a'conversation she had with'the Village Clerk. 'Mayor Johnson asked the Village
Clerk to clarify the conversation that took place with Ms. Duel. The Village Clerk stated Ms.
Duel was told that video gaming was going to be discussed at the meeting however she was not
sure if there would be'public comment time because there was public comment taken on May 22,
2012. The Village Clerk advised further that Ms. Duel did not ask whether the issue was going
to be voted on. Ms. Duel stated that she did not mean to imply.that she received any incorrect
information from the Clerk.
Mayor Johnson stated the Village Board worked very hard getting residents and business
owner's opinions on video gaming before making a decision. The Mayor said he was very
surprised that more people did not attend the meeting on May 22"d when video gaming was
initially addressed. Most opinions given were that people did not care either way whether video
gaming was allowed or not allowed in the Village. Mayor Johnson reiterated that the Village
will be very strict with its regulations and enforcement of video gaming.

was present in the audience.
Mayor Johnson asked the Petitioner, John Bell, if Starbucks has many locations with drive-
through lanes and if eight spaces will be enough. Mr. Bell stated they do and that data was
presented to the Zoning Board of Appeals from car counting done at three of their locations that
have similar traffic patterns. Starbucks places their ordering board and their menu board at the
fifth and,sixth stacking space so that the customer's order is ready by the time they get to the
window.
The Mayor asked Mr. Bell if the Starbucks in Dominick's across the street was going to remain
Open or'if it was going to close when the new location opens. Mr. Bell stated it would remain
open. Starbucks in Dominick's is part of the licensed store program and the new location is a
corporate program location. Both programs coexist.
Trustee Franke asked if alcohol was going to be sold at the new location. Mr. Bell advised there
would be no alcohol sold at this location. Starbucks is conducting some test markets for alcohol
