Mayor Johnson announced that there is a schedule change for the summer concert series
lineup. Due to scheduling conflicts, Pat Benitar will be featured at the third concert and
Kenny Loggins will be featured at the last/fifth concert.
The Mayor announced there was 100% compliance during a recent check for sale of alcohol
to minors at liquor licensed establishments in the Village. The Mayor pointed out that
there was a recent article in the newspaper stating there were nine failures out of thirty-
two liquor licensed establishments in Bartlett. Since 2000 when the Village Board
approved an Ordinance requiring everyone, no matter what their age, be carded to
purchase packaged goods, the compliance failure rate on the sale of alcohol to minors has
dropped to almost none. After seeing what happened in Bartlett recently, it shows that the
Village Board made the right decision.
The Village recently found out that Federal Funding helped pay for the building of the
Busse Woods Dam. This means there is a Federal hurdle to get past for the dam project.
Mayor Johnson thanked Congresswoman Tammy Duckworth for her assistance in directing
the Village to the right people to get the process moving quickly. A meeting was held and
the Federal Government is very cooperative and wants to find a way to expedite the
process to get the dam project started.
Proclamation - Mayor Johnson asked Peggy Scholten and her family to join him at the
podium. Mayor Johnson read and presented Peggy with a Proclamation honoring her upon
her retirement from her thirty-seven year teaching and coaching career at Conant High
School.

Oaths of Office - Police Chief Schmidt introduced and gave a brief career history about
Randal Schumacher and James Lancaster. Mayor Johnson administered Oaths of Office to
Sergeant Schumacher and Commander Lancaster. Both introduced their families and
thanked Mayor Johnson, the Village Board, Chief Schmidt and their fellow Officers.
Accreditation - Mayor Johnson stated the Elk Grove Village Police Department is Nationally
Accredited. The Police Department has to be reaccredited every three years. Police Chief
Schmidt presented the Village with the Police Department's seventh Accreditation Award.
The Police Department has been accredited for twenty years. Chief Schmidt explained the
accreditation is issued by CALEA and it is a voluntary program. There are over 17,000 law
enforcement agencies in the country and less than 5% are Nationally Accredited. In order
to obtain the award, the Police Department has to meet over 400 standards set by the
National Accreditation Association.

order to keep our ISO fire rating. The Community Development Department issued a
report on the changes. The major change that affects residents is that all new construction
of single family homes are required to have a fire suppression/sprinkler system installed.

install sprinklers. Additions, modifications and significant remodels would not be required
to install sprinklers. The Code does affect Companies which modify fifty percent or more of
their building. They will be required to install sprinklers.
