They were in attendance to become more familiar with the current happenings of the Village. Kathy Dyer, Linden Lane. Ms. Dyer had indicated that she had written a letter to Mr. Janonis and was thinking she might meet with him in person at Coffee with Council. Ms. Dyer stated she is an advocate for the disabled and was interested in attending future Board meetings. Ms. Dyer did mention that she informed the Village of a non-handicap accessible sidewalk at Foundry and Wolf Roads. Ms. Dyer told the group that she thought the work was completed or was in the process of being done. Later in the meeting, Ms. Dyer brought up a graffiti incident at River Trails School and whether the responsible parties had been caught. Carol Tortorello, Elmhurst Avenue. Ms. Tortorello inquired about the removal of some trees in the Village and wondered whether this was due to the Emerald Ash Borer. Staff responded saying that there has been no EAB case in the Village and that the tree removal was probably part of the ongoing tree program in the Village. Staff would follow up with Public Works on this item. While on the discussion of trees, Trustee Corcoran brought up the clearing of trees on the property just to the East of Bogies. This property was completely cleared of all trees and has negatively impacted the adjoining property owners. Mr. Corcoran felt that something needed to be done to prevent this type of action from occurring in the future. He would also like to have this property owner come into the Village to explain his rationale for removing the trees. Mr. Corcoran also requested that the Village look into a home renovation project for the home located at the comer of Pine and Kensington. Mr. Corcoran inquired whether this property owner had pulled a permit for this work to be done and if the renovation was being done in compliance of Village code. Ken Koeppen, Linneman Road.

Both were points Trustee Corcoran brought up earlier in the meeting. Mr. Po lit was unaware of this fact as he came in to the meeting after they were discussed. Mr. Polit provided pictures of the cleared site just East of Bogies. He was wondering if there is a possibility the Board could include in the Village code restrictions or limitations to the clearing of trees similar to what is in existence in Lake Forest. Mr. Po lit also wanted to discuss the renovation at the home located at 719 Pine. He informed the Board and staff that there was work being performed into the evenings and on weekends.
