and Property Acquisition. Present were: Trustees Timothy Corcoran, Paul Hoefert, Richard
Lohrstorfer, Michaele Skowron, Irvana Wilks and Michael Zade!. Absent from the Closed Session
was Mayor Gerald Farley. Staff present included: Village Manager Michael Janonis, Assistant
Village Manager David Strahl and Police Chief Richard Eddington.
LitiQation
Village Manager Janonis provided Village Board members with updates on both the Romero Class
Action Lawsuit and the Department of Justice investigation.

Mr. Janonis related that the insurance companies were pushing for settlement and had set
reservation letters that effectively limited their liability to what would be paid out under the pending
Settlement Offer. If the case was litigated, and a larger award made, the Village would be
responsible for the greater incremental amount.

Mr. Janonis and Chief Eddington reviewed the status of the Department of Justice investigation.
Preliminary indications were that the Department of Justice was not finding the allegations made in
Judge Castillo's letter to be founded. The Village's attorneys were engaging the Department of
Justice in discussions regarding closing the investigation.
Consensus of the Board was to continue pursuing the most favorable conclusion to both of
these matters.
Property Acquisition
Manager Janonis stated that he is to meet with the people that own the medical building next to
the Senior Center. He said the Village will offer about $600,000. The owners want approximately
$700,00. The likely settlement is probably somewhere in between.
Manager Janonis provided an update of the 3Com building purchase suggestion. He stated that in
conversation with District 214, they have stated they are not interested in participating in utilizing any
portion of the building at this time.
Manager Janonis also stated the Bank One is not responding in a timely manner to numerous
phone calls regarding what their status is but will to continue to follow up to see what is the direction.
The Closed Session adjourned at 10:04 p.m. No action was taken.
