Minutes of Meeting on Tuesday, November 16, 2010, at 7:15 P.M.
Community Room, Village Hall, 50 South Emerson Street
Present: Lindsay Boivin (chairman), Michael Boivin, adult advisors George Clowes and
Sergeant Anthony Addante, and Officer Alison Teevan.
The following items were discussed:
I. Youth Commission Survey
1.1 Questionnaire
Since both of the Commissioners had been involved with handing out the questionnaire at
Melas Park in the summer, they provided feedback on the length of the questionnaire and the
wording of some of the questions. As a result, the following decisions were made regarding the
questionnaire:
• Get rid of the long version and just keep the shorter one;
• Change the wording on two of the questions to make them easier to respond to;
• Add another question to get input on which youth programs are viewed as being
effective.
A revised questionnaire is attached.
1.11 Reports from Online Survey Program
To date, no one has received any summary reports from the surveys completed on the Village
web site. In addition, the surveys completed at Melas Park were to have been entered into the
online survey program. Commissioner Lindsay Boivin will find out what happened to the Melas
Park surveys and then look into how to get reports from the survey program..
1.111 Mailing the Questionnaire to Schools and Churches
Former Commissioner Dan Milewski drafted a letter to send the questionnaire out to Mount
Prospect schools and churches but this mailing was postponed because it would have gone out
at the end of the school year. The following recommendations were made regarding mailing the
questionnaire:
• The cover letter needs no modification except changing the date and the name of the
sender;
• The mailing should be done around the second week of January, 2011;
• A requisition for postage for the mailing should be made at the December Commission
meeting;
• Park districts should be added to the mailing list.
LIV Other Distribution
Since the two Commissioners are familiar with Indian Grove School, they suggested that might
be a good place to distribute questionnaires to parents and students to get input from a specific
school.
