CALL Present upon roll call: Anderson., Furst ~endr4cks Link Richardson Scholten Teichert Motion carried. MAYOR'S STATE OF THE VILLAGE ADDRESS Tonight, with the formation of a new Village Board, it is appropriate and necessary tha:t we confirm what we are and who we are, and that'we establish where we are going. What we are is not a debatable subject but rather mere)y a recognition that Mount Prospect exists as a community with a certain configuration, specific attri- butes, and definable characteristics. All of these are the results of policies and actions undertaken by Village officials over the past 56 years. It is not possible, nor is it proper, to compare the activities of .the various Village~Board which have contributed to what]we are today. Mount .Prospect, as we know it now, is the result of ¢'ollective and consecu- tive action by many dedicat.ed persons. What we are is a community of 50,000 people, situated in an exploding urban complex, reacting to circumstances beyond our control, but surviving better than most. We are a mixture of single family, m~lti~family, commercial, industrial, and open space properties, in balance sufficiently so that we need not fear the uncertainty of the future nor worry over'the possibility of change. We are a solvent enterprise in a prosperous environment capable of providi'ng our 'citizen's'with a healthy and safe society. We have the services and amenities neces~ sary to live a good life. and a commitment to see that all of our citizens share in the benefits of our collective strength. May 1, 1973 e are an open community that has faced its first open attack of bigotry and we were not found wanting. We~ are a concerned community that eng.ages in self-analysis and self-criticism so th~at we can. identify a.nd publicize our p~oblems. We are a_.homogeneous~ community that recog- nizes the age soan of our citizens and works to make the welfare of each the goal o.f the other. We are a ~happy. community that we ar~.~hat we are, Who we are is somewhat difficult to describe since we are a collection of 50,000 individuals. Our differences are pronounced when we speak as individuals for each of us has the hooes, fears and prejudices which are a part of human nature. Our antagonism to opposing views and the controversy we promote on isolated issues is, and should be, submerged in the collective action of the community through its elected officials. We are struggling through a period when our elected leaders at the national and state levels have shaken our faith in the integrity of politics. .even our local election became .a test of ~he. creditability of our communi.ty leaders. Who we are is important if we are to maintain our confidence in the right of self-government. Who we are is confounding only when we speak as indiwiduals... fearful of what we don't understand, suspicious of others, and selfish in our own im~terests. Who we are is quite simple and reassuring when we speak with our collective voice as a community. We are Americans...free to govern ou.rselves...free to select our own leaders. We resolve our differences at the ballot box, and once resolved...even if by one vote... we unite to .give substance to our unique and incomparable form of self-government. We encourage free speech, criticism, and the right to be different...but we insist on adherence to our laws and compliance with the concept of majority rule. We deplore the small'group of elected officials who have betrayed the trust of their constituents but we applaud the vast majority who labor day-by-day confirming our confidence in a representative type of government. Who we are as people has determined what we are as a community...and who we are as a Village Board will be decisive in establishing where we are going as a community. We are a Village Board comprised of experienced elected officials...knowledgeable in the mechanics of how to get things done and willing to vote our convictions as to those things which must be done. We are independent thinkers who respect each others' opinions and are obligated to one another only by our oath of office. The only thing we owe to those who supported us in our election to office is toconduct ourselves in a manner which makes our citizens proud that we are their elected representatives. We are a Village Board ~hat has been under attack... maligned, abused, and even sued. In the crucible of oublic opinion we were individually, and collectively, vindicated by the vote of our citizens. The support of the voters should nos be construed as a mandate for any particular policy or position..~rather it should be viewed as a vote of confidence in our manner of handling community affairs. May l, 1973 e gained the endorsement of our community on the simple svavemenv that "What we have done and what we are doing is our platform for what we can do"...and we pledged ourselves in the simplest of terms, "Our record of past accomplishments is also our promise for future accomplish- menus. In truth we offered ourselves as advocates of continuing the governmental operation within the policies and philosophies already established. We are committed only To hard work and honest decisions in behalf of the 50,000 people we represent. It would be folly ~o believe that we can please all of our citizans in any action We undertake...but it is imperative that we have their respecv and maintain their confidence in our integrity. Where we are going is really no~ difficult vo see...our past actions and present projecvs map our course quite clearly. What should concern us all is how we gev there. I am confident, as is our community, that the now sitting Village Board is compeven~ and capable of handling any and every problem th~ need be resolved, and our progress as a community will be undertaken with honor and dignity. Congratulations, gentlemen, and thank you, Mount ProspecT. COMMITTEE APPOINTMENTS BUILDING COMMITTEE FINANCE COMMITTEE Patrick Link, Chairman Kenneth V. Scholten, Chairman George B. Anderson E.F.
