4. MAYOR& BOARD OF TRUSTEES' REPORT
Events - Mayor Johnson attended the following events:
May 15, 2014 - Mayor Johnson delivered the State of the Village Address to the Elk Grove
Chamber.
May 21, 2014 - Mayor Johnson spoke at the monthly Lions Club meeting.
May 27, 2014 - The Mayor spoke at the Sheila Ray Senior Center.
Mayor Johnson congratulated the 5th and 6th grade classes at Stevenson Elementary School.
The classes raised and donated $1,800.00 and supplies to the World Relief Organization.
Mayor Johnson addressed airplane noise in the Village. The Mayor explained the role of the
O'Hare Noise Compatibility Commission. The Commission is a powerless Chicago entity.
They don't have the power that similar Commissions in other cities have.
There is a new group called FAIR. FAIR is a group that was formed by residents in Chicago
and surrounding suburbs that are being impacted by airport noise. FAIR is looking for
contradictory answers, they are for O'Hare expansion but they don't like the noise impact
that comes with it. The Village is going to keep an eye on the group because they state that
they want the flights dispersed to other routes. The Board will be very protective of Elk
Grove, one community shouldn't benefit at the cost of another community. The Mayor and
Board are not afraid to fight the good fight and are going to remain vigilant and on top of
the issue. There are areas in Elk Grove that are getting noise for the first time and there are
other areas that have quiet for the first time. The overall flights impacting Elk Grove is
nowhere near as bad as it used to be, it is just affecting areas that never had noise before.
When the second new runway opens in 2015 it should help eliminate some of the impact
the Village is seeing now.
The Mayor stated many people are asking Chicago to revise the noise contour map.
Chicago is within their legal right to wait until full expansion is complete before revising
the map. The noise contour will change as expansion occurs. Mayor Johnson stated things
should hopefully get better for the Village when the second runway opens in 2015.
Proclamation - Mayor Johnson read and presented Lee Maternowski, Elk Grove Library
Director, with a Proclamation honoring him upon his retirement in June. Lee thanked the
Mayor and Village Board and stated it has been a pleasure working with the Village
throughout his tenure at the Library.

Presentation - Mayor Johnson asked Jack Groat, "Cowboy Jack" to join him at the podium.
Mr. Groat stated the Farmer's Market will be starting on Saturday, June 7, 2014. Hours are
7:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Leaflets about the Farmer's Market were distributed. Each leaflet
had a two dollar bill attached to it. Prizes could be won at the first Farmer's Market if the
coinciding serial number matched the serial number on the two dollar bill. The two dollar
bill could then be spent at the Market.
The 71h Annual Little Boots Rodeo will be taking place on June 21 and June 22, 2014. Over
ten thousand dollars in proceeds were donated to local charitable organization from the
2013 Rodeo.
Mr. Groat gave an overview of the events that will be taking place at the 2014 Rodeo. Mr.
Groat gave Mayor Johnson a package from Svengoolie. The package contained a tee shirt
and a remote control for a radio controlled balloon. There was a note attached to the
balloon from Svengoolie to the Mayor. Svengoolie challenged the Mayor to a flying pig race
at the Little Boots Rodeo on Sunday, June 22, 2014 at 1:00 p.m. Mayor Johnson accepted
the challenge.
Mr. Groat stated the tradition of hosting a "Trustee's Challenge" began at the Rodeo last
year. The winner of the challenge wins a $250.00 donation to the charity of their choice.
Last year four of the Trustees were able to attend and participate in the goose race
challenge. Trustee Prochno won the challenge and chose to donate the money to the
Kenneth Young Center. This year the challenge was brought to the Village Board meeting.
Each Trustee was given an oyster to open. Each oyster contained a pearl. The Trustee with
the odd color pearl would win the challenge. Trustee Czarnik won the challenge. A
$250.00 donation will be made to the Frank J. Czarnik Memorial Scholarship Fund.
Trustee Prochno reported the 161h Annual Memorial Day Observation took place yesterday,
May 26, 2014. There was a wonderful turn out. The Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, the VFW,the
Ladies Auxiliary, the American Legion, the Elk Grove Baptist Choir and the Big Band with
Howard Gorecki all participated. The Police and Fire Honor Guard did a flag folding
ceremony and refreshments were offered under the Gazebo after the Ceremony. It was a
very nice event.
Prior to the Memorial Day Observation Trustee Prochno attended a Lioness Club dedication
at Lions Park. The Lioness Club purchased and dedicated a cement bench in Lions Park in
honor of all the Lioness members who have served the Community since the start of the
Lioness Club over forty years ago. The dedication was made possible by a very generous
donation made to the Lioness Club by former member, Betty Erickson. Betty passed away a
little over a year ago and bequeathed ten thousand dollars to the Lioness Club. Two
thousand dollars was used to purchase the bench and the other eight thousand dollars is
being used to fund two one thousand dollar scholarships over the next four years.
Trustee Prochno noted the Daily Herald has been conducting a corporate Fittest Loser
Contest. The Elk Grove Park District team came in third place out of thirteen Park District
teams. The Village had two teams in the contest that also did very well. On an individual
basis, John Nicholas, of the Public Works Department, was the overall winner. John lost 45
pounds equaling 17.2% of his body weight.
The 20th Annual Salt Creek Cleanup, sponsored by Nick Nikola, will take place on June 7,
2014 from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. The cleanup will start from the parking lot at Elk Grove
High School.
Trustee Petri complimented Lee Maternowski on doing an excellent job at the Library.
Trustee Czarnik spent some time at Rupley School on Wednesday, May 14, 2014, for Senior
Day. It was a one on one memory time event for a student and a senior. Trustee Czarnik
had a wonderful time with Pamela.

Trustee Feichter participated in the first Annual Ride of Silence in Elk Grove Village. The
Ride of Silence is a bicycle activity participated in by cyclists all over the nation in
remembrance of those killed while riding their bicycles. The Elk Grove Ride of Silence was
in honor of Elk Grove resident, Rosaline Waters,who was killed last year at the corner of
Higgins and Route 53. Approximately one hundred cyclists participated in the event which
started at the Hattendorf Center. The cyclists rode to the new bridge in the forest preserve,
left red roses in memory of Rosaline, and preceded back to the Hattendorf Center. State
Representative, Marty Moylan, presented a Proclamation to the family of Rosaline from the
Illinois House of Representatives.
Trustee Lissner stated he was out of town for the Mayor's State of the Village Address to
