FINANCIAL REPORT: The Treasurer's Report of January 31,2008 was approved as presented. CURRENT BUSINESS: 1. Celestial Celebration XV: All aspects of the evening were discussed with respect to successes, failures and changes needed for next year: a) Bar - Keeping the bar open most of the evening was a success and cut down on the long lines. b) Drink tickets - Guests had to purchase 10 tickets at a time. There were either tickets left over or guests had to purchase 10 more when they could have bought less. It was too costly. Need to change this for next year. There was talk of raising the price per person to include an open bar. c) Music - Most members of the Commission were unhappy with Ralph Wilder's Orchestra this year. There was not enough 1950's music played. We may possibly look into a different band or a DJ for next year. d) Speeches - Shining Star winners abided by the 3 minute speech limit for the most part. Speeches went smoothly and quickly. There was a suggestion of shortening Tom and Linda's introductions to the winners. e) Seating for Winners - Commission members escorting winners to the stage was a great success. A good suggestion for next year is to have a spotlight on the winners as they walk from their seats up to the stage. There was much discussion over the placement of winners. In the future, their tables may be placed toward the front of the room. Janice (having done the seating for many years) and Linda, now in charge of the tables would be the best judges as to how or even if this could work. f) Recognition of Politicians - The commission realizes this is not a political event and is truly a night for the Shining Star winners. However, recognizing politicians at formal events is very commonplace and will most likely continue at the Celestial Celebration. We have all heard many favorable comments on the theme, decorations (FANTASTIC JOB, KATHY) and shorter speeches. Celestial Celebration XV was a success and we should all be very proud.

Hoefert then moved to the resident portion of the meeting. Ken Koeppen, South Linneman - Mr. Koeppen had questions related to the proposed construction of fire station #14. General discussion followed. Mr. Koeppen also inquired about the potential for a water rate increase in light of the increase imposed by the City of Chicago. Mr. Erb informed the group that he would be preparing a rate study to be presented to the Village Board and Finance Commission at a financial planning workshop scheduled for April. Mr. Koeppen also inquired as to the Public Works policy for collection of late falling leaves during the Fall collection period. A review of the policy was discussed. Carol Tortorello, South Elmhurst - Ms. Tortorello inquired about the status of the Village road salt inventory due to the high levels of snow that had fallen already this winter. Ms. Tortorello was informed that Public Works was salting only at intersections and mid-block to conserve the remaining salt inventory. Ms. Tortorello also asked about the agenda for the February 12th COW. Her concern was regarding the proposed installation of "Red Light" cameras at intersections throughout the Village. General discussion followed. Skip Farley, North Emerson - Mr. Farley wanted to know the status of the redevelopment for the "small trianglet' in the Downtown TIF District. He wanted to know where discussions were as they related to the Curtis proposal and Meersman eminent domain proceedings. Trustees Hoefert and Corcoran and Mr. Janonis provided an update and general discussion on the development took place. Mr. Farley also wanted to discuss traffic problems at the intersection of Central/Mount Prospect Road/Rand. Mr. Janonis provided some background to the issue along with information on enforcement efforts that were taking place. Rodger Kruse, South Louis - Mr. Kruse wanted to comment on a "job well done" for the recent handling of snow removal by Public Works. Mr. Kruse also wanted to say that the parking situation along Maple Street has improved since the Village implemented the parking solution for the area's residents. Andy Skie, North Owen - Mr. Skic did not have anything to bring forward. He was in attendance to stay in touch with the current happenings of the Village. Zenon Golba, North Louis - Mr. Golba wanted to address snowplowing and water drainage issues in the immediate area of his home on North Louis. Apparently during heavy rains and winter thawst excess standing water builds up around his home. Mr. Golba had contacted the Public Works Department about the problem in 2007. Public Works performed some excavation and drainage work to hopefully resolve the issue. Mr. Golba acknowledged the efforts, but still feels something more needs to be done since the water build-up is still a problem. A discussion among the Trustees and staff followed with Mr. Golba. Mr. Golba was informed that the Village would look into the problem and get back to him. David Schein, Na- Wa- Ta Avenue - Mr. Schein brought several items to Trustees and staff to discuss. Mr. Schein mentioned the redevelopment of Randhurst and whether opportunities for stormwater management were being considered. Mr. Schein also brought forward the suggestion of restricting use of lawn chemicals by homeowners to foster a "green" atmosphere in the Village. Mr. Schein observed that westbound stop signs at Evergreen and Wille were obstructed and wanted the Engineering Department to look into the matter. Mr. Schein also wanted to know if anything could be done with the pothole problems along Central Road. Mr. Schein was informed that Central Road is under County jurisdiction and any repairs would be performed at their direction. FinallYt Mr. Schein inquired as to the procedure for identifying non-functioning streetlights. General discussion followed and the appropriate staff would be notified for follow- up. 2 Mal Dolce, Quince Lane - Mr. Holec had several questions he wanted to pose to the group. First, Mr. Holec was interested in the status of plans for building fire station #14. Mr. Holec was also concerned about the proposed changes for Randhurst turning the area into a lifestyle center. General discussion on the changes followed. Also, with all the efforts with being energy conscious are we sending the right message with continuing to hold the Holiday Lighting awards. Lastly, Mr. Holec inquired about the Village's approach to Community Policing. Mr. Janonis provided some background on what was being done by the Police Department in being proactive in this effort. Jim Usler, South Main - Mr. Usler wanted to bring to the attention of the Village reports of possible mortgage fraud occurring at a Wall Street business location. Mr. Usler was informed that the Village has already looked into this and that the address was just a "shell" address for the fraudulent activity and that there is no licensed business at that location. Trustee Hoefert asked if there was any further business for the good of the Village. Hearing none the meeting was adjourned at 10:45 a.m. J~tY, VC-- Respectfully Submitted, David O.
