functionally obsolete. The Illinois Tollway has 630 bridges, none of which are considered
structurally deficient or functionally obsolete. In the country 14x/0 of the roads pavement
conditions are rated very poor. None of the Illinois Tollway roads are rated very poor.
January 26 - Meeting with the DuPage County Board to discuss the SOC and JDA program
for a fly quiet rotation plan. The ONCC presented options for flight paths at night time to
spread out the impact on communities. No decisions will be made by ONCC until May.
They are allowing JDA to go forward with modeling. Modeling is the review of actual data
of the flight paths. The City of Chicago has provided the necessary data for the modeling.
One worry is that they are looking into expanding the time of flights to start earlier in the
morning and continue later into the night.

apologize for not having the power to the sensor on Golf Road for the operation of the
Busse Dam. They promised the power will be provided before the end of March, if not
sooner.
Mayor Johnson referenced recent articles in the local newspaper about red light cameras.
The Mayor commended towns that have had success when they have removed the cameras
but the Village statistics have proven that the total number of accidents have decreased at
the intersections with red light cameras. The newspaper keeps trying to undermine the
use of red light cameras but the statistics show that they work.
Oaths of Office- Fire Chief Mikel gave an education and employment background and
