Mayor Johnson - On February 13, 2020 the Village hosted a tour for International Trade
Representatives from consulates and foreign investment organizations representing China, Japan,
Germany, Israel, Ecuador, Poland and Greece seeking to locate in the United States. The
discussion entailed Elk Grove's business friendly approach offering a robust transportation
infrastructure, continuous public works improvements and initiatives pursuing 5G connectivity
throughout the industrial park.
Village representatives went to Elk Grove High School to speak with a person on the Golden
Apple Award panel. Principal Paul Kelly is a candidate for consideration of the Excellence in
Leadership Award. Paul Kelly previously won the 2018 State Principal of the Year Award and
was one of three finalists for the 2019 National Principal of the Year Award. The school system is
very impressive because James Arey, a teacher at Elk Grove High School, won the Golden Apple
Award back in 2001.

p.m. to answer questions from residents regarding recent anonymous mailings and robocalls.

Thank you to the students at Queen of the Rosary for sending the greeting cards to the Village
Board. It was a pleasure to read them and very much appreciated.

personalized greeting cards to the Board. Trustee Prochno received a thank you note from Girl
Scout Troop 45544 that participated in a walking tour of the patriotic statues in the Village Green,
Park District Pavilion and Veterans Memorial Park. The Scouts were working on their Citizenship
Badges and were interested in learning about how the statues represent the people in our
community that have served our country and the village.
The Girl Scouts annual cookie fundraiser is going on right now. The local Boy Scouts and Girl
Scouts are fine organizations that help build the character of our children so anything we can do
to support them is appreciated. There is a new option to purchase cookies and have them sent to
our troops overseas.
The winter Farmers Market will continue indoors through mid -May and is held the 1st and 3ra
