Moved by Trustee Czarnik Seconded by Trustee Franke VOICE VOTE MOTION CARRIED 4. MAYOR AND BOARD OF TRUSTEES' REPORT Mayor Johnson - Mid -Summer Classics Concert Series - The eleventh summer concert series finished up with Wynona and the Big Noise followed by Night Ranger with a record number of attendees for the five concerts. Next year, there will be four concerts starting with Saturday, July 4th, followed by the remaining Tuesdays on July 14th, July 215t and July 28th. More information will follow. The outcome from the survey on the website showed Bret Michaels was the most popular concert thus far. Tree Lighting Ceremony - Trustee Franke announced that Jim Peterik will be performing at this year's Tree Lighting Ceremony on the Friday after Thanksgiving. Jim Peterik is commonly known from the band Survivor and the Ides of March and was a co -writer of the anthem "Eye of the Tiger" from the Rocky III movie. Jim Peterik will perform at 4:30 p.m. that will include Christmas carols and the Tree Lighting will be at 5:30 p.m. Thank you to everyone involved with the concerts this year. We had a great summer without incident and every person played an important role in helping to keep the area safe. Best Western/Midway Motor Lodge/Elk Grove Hotel - The hotel at Oakton and Busse has been torn down and there will be an agreement on the agenda to approve two new hotels along with at least two more restaurants. Country Inn and Suites and Tru Hotel by Hilton will be developed in that area. Construction should be starting before winter and that corridor will now be opened up and have a fresh new look. Motel 6 - The Motel 6 hotel that the Village bought will be torn down in October of this year and the Village is working on a couple of options for development in that area. Elk Grove Technology Park - The Technology Park is moving along well. There will be announcements very soon about a few new companies that are coming into the Technology Park. Water Meters - Over the next several months there will be new Smart water meters installed similar to the Smart Grid electric meters that have an automatic continuous feed. This feature will not only save the Village money but it will help determine sooner if there is a leak somewhere in the house. The Smart Meter will have a system built in to notify the Village if a location is using more water than usual and the Village will be able to contact the homeowner within a few days to reduce the cost for the homeowner. Elk Grove Cares Program - The heart and soul of any community is in the places of worship. Last August, Mayor Johnson began speaking at all of the places of worship in Elk Grove Village finishing up with St. Julian Eymard Church. We thank everyone for allowing us to get the word out and for the support from the community. WGN radio did an interview a couple of weeks ago on a segment for their MVPP (Most Valuable Person on the Planet) and Steve Cochran contacted the Mayor after reading an article in the paper on the program. This program is successful because of the community of Elk Grove coming together to ensure that it succeeds. The program has done so well that the Village received over Page 1 of 7 $100,000 in grant money to be used for this program. That grant money has been enough to cover the cost of the patients going through the program. There are certain conditions with grant money that the program must be non-discriminatory, which includes ethnicity, religion, race or where they live. There are now 27 people that have come through the program - 14 men, 13 women. Twenty-three people are still being monitored, in communication with representatives of the program, and are still clean and sober. This is why the U. S. Department of Justice called our program revolutionary because it is working and it is making a difference. At the July Coffee with the Board, a woman came in to tell the Board that she spoke with a Police Sergeant in New York City that was familiar with Elk Grove Village. The Sergeant was in Texas for a symposium on Addiction that was hosted by the U.S. Department of Justice. The guest speaker that day was Deputy Chief Gaspari to talk about the Elk Grove Cares Program. New York City is now modeling our program. Mayor Johnson read several complimentary letters from parishioners, residents, and a Cook County Assistant Public Defender who is involved with the courts in the Third District. A letter from a patient in the program was read that described how the Elk Grove Cares Program has truly made a difference in his life. This patient is sober today and thankful to have the Village's support to get him into the program. We do not care where an individual lives and will continue to serve the community in the best way that we can to support these people through the addiction of this disease. Makers Wanted Bahamas Bowl - Mayor asked Chad Brunner to join him at the podium near the Bahamas Bowl trophy and helmet. A year ago, we made an "out of the box" announcement with the sponsorship of the Makers Wanted Bahamas Bowl. Most towns find ways to advertise for their community to promote it but in our case, being the largest business park in North America, we were trying to find ideas to keep the business park filled. The Business Park is an economic engine of the northwest suburbs providing jobs, investment and income for the community, the schools, the park district, the library and the county. It is a huge impact to the entire region. In the past, we advertised during the Chicago Cubs games and luckily, it was the year when they won the World Series. We also got started back on the news channels about four years ago with the Presidential election. We were looking for a new way to advertise the business park, get our name out there and talk about what we had to offer for manufacturing and for high tech. Last year we came up with the idea to sponsor a college football bowl game and it spread like wildfire. It was on every news channel and was even in three of the biggest newspapers in India. Mayor introduced Chad Brunner from Loves Fueling Stations. Chad was looking to build a prototype in the business park, specifically at Busse & Pratt, and Loves submitted a petition that will go before the Plan Commission for consideration. Mr. Brunner stated that he is a college football fan and chose Elk Grove Village after watching the bowl game and hearing about the sponsorship. Mr. Brunner Googled the story and found that Elk Grove Village is the business friendly type of community that they were looking for. They are here today to take the next big step and they will do a phenomenal job serving the industrial park. This is one of those win/win partnerships where Loves will do phenomenally well and the Village will do extremely well collecting millions of dollars in sales tax dollars. The Bahamas bowl was the contact to get them in Elk Grove Village. Trustee Schmidt - Attended the GOA summer barbecue event on August 2nd. The next Sister Cities meeting will be on Monday at 6:30 p.m. in Room E. This will be our 10th Student Exchange Program with Termini Imerese. There will be ten students coming over in November to stay with their student counterparts from Elk Grove Village. There will be a big celebration for the 10th Anniversary. Trustee Schmidt reminded everyone of the new law that was passed on July 1st where texting and driving is now a moving violation. Please adhere to the law and put down your phones while driving your vehicle. Trustee Prochno - The summer Farmers Market is continuing every Saturday morning on the Village Green from 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Please come out to enjoy a wide variety of fresh produce that is available. Trustee Lissner - Represented the Village at a roundtable discussion in Schaumburg on July 191h with Cook County President Toni Preckwinkle and Cook County Commissioner Kevin Morrison along with representatives from surrounding towns. This was an informative meeting to discuss ideas for future discussion. Trustee Czarnik - The Frank J. Czarnik Scholarship Golf Outing took place on August 9th. It was very well attended and thank you to all that participated to ensure that scholarships will be offered again next year. Going forward, the scholarship program will also honor Jim Heffern. We lost Jim last year and want to acknowledge what he has done and meant to the youth of Elk Grove Village. Next year the golf outing will be entitled the Czarnik - Heffern Scholarship Golf Outing. Trustee Feichter - The Friends of Cycling in Elk Grove is starting a new program. They have purchased a Trishaw bicycle that has two seats in back for riders and one seat in front for pedaling. They are hoping to organize a program where senior citizens in Elk Grove can take a free ride through Busse Woods in the summertime. The program is still in the planning stages but they hope to have it operational by next summer. Page 2 of 7 Trustee Franke - Oktoberfest is quickly approaching on Friday, September 20th and Saturday, September 21St. The hours are Friday from 6:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. and Saturday from 3:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. after the parade.

PC Docket 19-8 - A Public Hearing was held on August 51h to consider a petition submitted for the proposed annexation, resubdivision and rezoning to I-1 Restricted Industrial District for property located on Roppolo Drive, Richard Lane and Landmeier Road for the construction of a Light Industrial Facility. The Plan Commission allowed everyone to present testimony who wanted to do so at the hearing and issued a Finding of Fact with certain recommendations to the Village Board, which were unanimous. The recommendations were to annex the property at 751-815 Roppolo Drive, 801-906 Richard Lane and 2110 Landmeier Road. Resubdivide the property from 21 lots to one lot, rezone the property to I-1 Restricted Page 4 of 7 Industrial and grant a variation from Section 7-1 of the zoning code to increase the permitted building height from thirty-five feet (35') to forty-two feet (42'). The petitioner was present to answer any questions. With Village Board approval, the next step would be to authorize the Village Attorney to prepare the necessary documents to move forward with the recommendation of the Plan Commission. Mayor Johnson reiterated that the Village Board's action is to concur or not concur with the recommendation of the Plan Commission. If the Board does not concur with the recommendation then the petition is done. If the Board does concur, then the Board directs the staff to prepare a pre -annexation agreement to be ready for the September 1 Oth public hearing to take place at 6:45 p.m. There will be a court reporter present and the public will have a chance to give testimony or ask questions. After that hearing, it will go to the full Board for action to be taken at the 7:00 p.m. Village Board Meeting. Tonight is just whether to recommend staff to move forward with the documentation. Mayor Johnson asked the developer if the last two lots were purchased to consider the total twenty-three (23) lots. The attorney for the developer stated that there will be twenty-three lots finalized as part of the Pre - Annexation Agreement for consideration at the September loth public hearing. The Village Attorney stated the Pre -Annexation Agreement can include the additional two lots for consideration at that meeting. Public Comment for Roppolo Annexation- 8:07 p.m. Margaret Hussein, 700 Roppolo - Expressed concerns for the safety of the children in the neighborhood with extra traffic being rerouted onto Roppolo Drive after the buildings are constructed. There are two bus stops located on the corners of where this facility will be built. The children from our subdivision and surrounding areas are bused to five nearby schools. We would like the safety of all of these children guaranteed. Secondly, my home value will decrease 30-40% when these buildings are constructed. The builder reached out with an offer and we countered their offer and have not received an offer back. We are stressed on worrying whether we will have to move or if we will have to live with an increased level of noise, traffic, pollution and the well- being of myself, my children and the neighbors. Mayor Johnson stated that in the past 22 years since he has been in office the Village receives inquiries at least 3-4 times a year from developers that want to redevelop the Roppolo Subdivision. The Village's long-term plan for any unincorporated property in the industrial park is to annex the property as industrial not residential. The Village has told developers that they have to buy a big enough parcel to do any project. They cannot buy two home lots to build a little factory or buy a cut out section and skip lots in between. The Village is not forcing this development to happen. Everything is happening by a private developer that is acquiring land, in a significant enough size, to do a development that we would be receptive to review. Your neighbors are selling. The Village cannot stop them because that subdivision is not even in our community. They are the ones that have decided to sell which is the homeowner's right. This is being presented to us and it will attach to the industrial park. Ms. Hussein stated that her primary concern is the bus stops. Mayor stated that if you talk to the school district, they will relocate the bus stops to keep the students safe. If that becomes a Village street, our Police Department can assist a discussion with the school district. Mohammed Hussein, 700 Roppolo - Concerned with the Board considering the recommendation of the Plan Commission from the hearing. Mr. Hussein felt that questions were not addressed properly and that some members did not understand what they were voting on. They also ignored the covenant that says it must remain a residential subdivision. We have no problem with the neighbors selling their properties. They put a note in our mailboxes and they have not responded to our counter offers. Mayor Johnson asked the developer if the offers that were submitted were the same parameters offered for each homeowner. The developer stated yes. Mayor stated that our Plan Commission has some of the finest people that have ever served in this Village. The Chairman alone has been on the Commission for over forty years and does a phenomenal job. I know for a fact that they all checked your property, they looked at your homes and they saw all the drawings. A statement was made that there are no businesses in that subdivision. Mayor stated that he knows that Bud Roback has had a business in that subdivision for decades. There are also two other businesses registered with the State of Illinois in that subdivision so there are currently businesses there. As far as the covenants, they don't apply to the Village. Your covenants were put in place prior to you coming into the Village and therefore, we are not bound by any covenants that you had in existence beforehand. When they come in they fall under our jurisdiction and there is no covenants put in place during our jurisdiction, therefore they have no standing with the Village. Thank God because there is discriminative wording in that covenant that we do not agree with. In fact, we would like to receive a copy of the revised covenant where that language was removed. Tonight, we are concurring with the Plan Commission's recommendation only and no final decision will be made until after the hearing on September 1 Oth at 6:45 p.m. in this Chamber. The Board Meeting will follow and either accept or deny the annexation agreement. Mayor asked the developer to please be fair with the homeowners and communicate with counter offers. Motion to direct staff to prepare a Pre -annexation Agreement for the annexation of twenty-three lots into the Village.
