featured America, the second concert featured Survivor, tonight’s concert will feature Pat
Benatar and Neil Giraldo, next week’s concert will feature John Michael Montgomery and
the final concert will feature Kenny Loggins. Mayor Johnson thanked the Park District, the
Sponsors and the Community. The Mayor thanked Village staff for all the hard work they
put forth in making the concert series successful.
The Mayor stated the 2nd quarter vacancy rate for the business park is down to 7.84%. It
was as high as 14% a few years ago during the recession. Millions of square feet are being
utilized in the business park that weren’t a few years ago. The Village has collected almost
one million dollars in building permit fees during the first half of the year through June 1,
2014. The permit fees are for a construction value of almost eighty million dollars. This is
up from last year’s first half figures of four hundred thousand in permit fees and twenty
million dollars construction value. These types of reinvestment into businesses are making
the business park stronger and better.
Mayor Johnson read a letter that he wrote to the Daily Herald in response to one of their
editorials. The letter was published in Sunday’s newspaper. The Daily Herald editorial
addressed the impact that O’Hare noise is having on communities that were never effected
before. The Mayor explained the role of the ONCC (O’Hare Noise Compatibility
Commission) and why the Village is not a part of the group. The Mayor stated he and the
Village Board are going to continue the fight to protect the quality of life in the Village.
Flights should change next year when the new southern runway is opened.
Trustee Czarnik stated she represented the Village at the grand opening of Dream Frozen
Yogurt at 621 Meacham Road on Saturday, June 21, 2014. Trustee Czarnik thanked all the
