The Commission had been looking into pumhasing peace poles for the Village of Mount Prospect and for S~vres. He requested that we communicate with S~vres and Mayor Kosciusko Morizet to make sure they would accept our gift. The Commission discussed when and where the pole could be installed. It was suggested that both Mount Prospect and S~vres could have ceremonies to install them on the anniversary of the signing date of our sister cities agreement, May 19. It was suggested that the Commission purchase the poles this budget year. The Commission has $1,862 in its budget for 2001. The total cost of the poles including shipping is $704. John Eichman and Maura Jandris will meet to make all arrangements and complete necessary paperwork for the purchase. 2. New Business Committee Reports Organizations - Irvana presented a letter to the committee that she intends to send to organizations, which the committee reviewed and provided comments. The purpose of the letter is to make the groups aware of our relationship with S~vres and encourages to them to begin communicating with their counterparts in S~vres, and even to plan trips to S~vres. The letters would be mailed out in the coming weeks. Dorothy Kucera presented a letter that she had received from the Community Band that they had decided not to travel to S~vres next year. The Commission suggested responding to their letter, and encouraging them to go forward with the trip, and to consider traveling at another time. Business - no report Government - Larry D'Urso reported that when Commission member Melanie Karsen had .gotten a contact person for the Library in S~vres. Larry had attempted contacting them via email but had not yet received a response. Schools - Melanie Karsen had recently been in S~vres and had met with French teachers there about creating exchanges and correspondence with students here. Programs have been set up between Hersey and Prospect High Schools and the lycee in S~vres. Also, connections had been made between Nancy Lee from Lincoln and Rochelle Candioto at River Trails with the eequivalent school in S~vres. She was also communicating with the Fairview School French club to connect them with an elementrary school in S~vres, and had attempted to find a contact for St. Joan du Arc school in S~vres with a parochial school here. November 7-13 is National French Week. The Village issued a proclamation that is on display at the library and the schools. Melanie also brought a copy of the proclamation with her to S~vres to present to Mayor Kosciusko Morizet. Churches - Scotty expected that Sister Cities would be discussed at the next Church Council meeting. Melanie Karsen - Report on Trip to S~vres Mayor Kosciusko Morizet arranged meetings for Melanie with a group of teachers on September 10. She went on a tour of Ste. Cloud, a famous park in Sbvres, the Library and the Youth Center, called La Scale. She was warmly greeted and treated with great hospitality. She was invited to dinner at the Mayor's home, and to dinner with the Bompaire family, whose daughter spent time in Mount Prospect this past summer. Melanie shared photos of her trip with the group. There was a photo of the Village Hall in S~vres that showed clocks with the times of their sister cities. It was suggested that we do the same thing here. It was also suggested that the Village post signs on the way into town about our sister city. Melanie was in France at the time of the September 11 attacks, and said that she received many calls and thoughts from the people of Sbvres. Melanie also appeared in the latest issue ofLe S~vden, S~vres' Newsletter, and there was an article about her and her work for the sister city program. Melanie also reviewed the Newsletter and translated some items about the September I I attacks and a note from Mayor Farley which appeared in their newsletter and the thoughts of Mayor Morizet expressing his sympathy to us. Parade Participation Lil Floros said that the discussion of parades at the last meeting she understood as the 4th of July parade only. She said she would not be able to coordinate an effort for the Winter Festival Parade. The Commission discussed possible participation in the Winter Festival Parade: One suggestion was to have cookies in the shape of the Eiffel Tower. The commission discussed renting a float in the parade. Melanie said that she was going to Hersey to following week to meet with French classes and that she could see if any students would be interested in riding on the float. Tokiko Blaine offered to be the Corn.mission representative on the float. Larry D'Urso also tentatively volunteered to ride on the float. The Commission agreed that they would spend up to $300 on cookies for the refreshment tent for the parade. French flags and pins could be handed out at the table. Maura Jandris shared with the Commission the Mount Prospect Newsletter and a letter from Mayor Farley which appeared, sharing with the residents the thoughts and prayers we had received from S~vres. The commission members bought raffle tickets for a quilt from the Library Foundation. If they win, the quilt will be donated to the library in Skvres.

MINUTES ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION 2nd Floor Conference Room, Village Hall Thursday, December 6, 2001 8:00 a.m. The meeting of the Economic Development Commission (EDC) of the Village of Mount Prospect was held on Thursday, December 6,2001 in the second floor conference room of Village Hail, i00 South Emerson Street, Mount Prospect, Illinois. CALL TO ORDER Chairman Norm Kurtz called the meeting to order at 8:00 a.m. Commissioners John Amdt, David Lindgren, Brace Gillilan and Ben Trapani were present. Commissioners Pat Biedar and Kevin Davies and were absent. Also present were Michael Blue, Deputy Director of Community Development and Madeleine Franklin, Executive Director of the Mount Prospect Chamber of Commerce. APPROVAL OF MINUTES The minutes of the October 4, 2001 meeting were reviewed and approved unanimously. OLD BUSINESS Status Update Mr. Blue provided a general overview of several projects in the Village including: the CVS at Golf and Busse, Citgo Stations at Rand & Euclid and Dempster & Algonquin, Metro Credit Union, Autobarn, Randhurst Crossings, Andrews Products, Albany Molecular, Sears Appliances & Electronic, and the Downtown. Mr. Lindgren raised for discussion the possibility of the Economic Development Commission assigning a portion of its budget to fund the Mount Prospect Chamber of Commerce, noting that the Chamber undertakes many projects of importance to the Village that would not likely take place without the Chambers efforts. He asked Madeline Franklin, Executive Director of the Mount Prospect Chamber of Commerce to provide further explanation. By way of example, Ms. Franklin described how the Chamber and Village had ~vorked together to plan the Mid-summer block party, and while the Village had contributed to part of the cost, most of the expenses were borne by the Chamber. Ms. Franklin reiterated the Chamber undertakes many projects of benefit to the Village, and that while the Village is typically a sponsor, that additional funding of the Chamber was necessary to ensure its long term viability. Chairman Kurtz noted that the Village had not taken the opportunity to directly fund the Chamber in the past. Therefore, he felt that it would not be appropriate for the EDC to expend Village funds through its budget to directly support an activity that that the Village Board had chosen not to fund. Mr. Trapani concurred ~vith Mr. Kurtz's comment. After additional discussion, it was the consensus of the Commission that the EDC would not provide direct financial support to the Chamber, but would continue to sponsor the Chamber programs and publications, and that this issue should be on the agenda for a future meeting. NEW BUSINESS Review of the EDC 2001 Annual Report Mr. Kurtz directed the Commission's attention to the 2001 EDC Annual Report, which had been distributed earlier. He noted that the section on Goals for 2002 had been left blank and would be filled in based on their upcoming discussion, but asked if the Commission members had any comments or questions about the Draft report, other than the goals section. There were no comments and Mr. Kurtz asked the Commissioners to describe their goals for the EDC in 2002. conomic Development Commission December 6, 2001 Minutes Page 2 EDC Goals for 2002 Mr. Trapani raised the issue of real estate taxes being too high and adversely impacting development in the area. He suggested that the EDC join with other organizations in an effort to reduce taxation in the area. Mr. Trapani also suggested that the Village consider redevelopment of the block that currently includes the Central Plaza Shopping Center. Mr. Gillilan stated his goals: 1. That the Village and EDC focus on more targeted promotion of the Village and available development sites, rather than placing general ads in various real estate magazines. 2. That the amount of new development in the downtown would lead to higher rents and taxes for merchants and property owners, and that the Village and EDC should undertake an education campaign so that these groups were not taken by surprise. 3. That more services for residents and businesses should be brought to the Downtown (such as a grocery). 4. That the EDC should identify other organizations (in addition to the Chamber of Commerce) that it should be supportive of and work with. 5. That the EDC should be supportive of development and enhancement projects that are good additions to the downtown, such as the recent Friedrich's Funeral Home expansion. 6. That the village should use an economic philosophy that is consistent with the economics ofthe times. Mr. Amdt suggested more business oriented facilities (such as restaurants) should be brought to the downtown that would entice the business community to make better use of the area. Mr. Kurtz stated his goals: 1. That the Village and EDC should continue to explore possible uses for underutilized properties in the downtown, and that an emphasis on good aesthetics should be continued. 2. That the Village work to improve the flow of traffic through the community. 3. That the EDC should have a closer working relationship with the Village Board. It was decided that staff would incorporate these ideas into the goals section of the EDC annual report and present it for the Commission's approval at the next meeting. CI-IAIRMAN'S REPORT Mr. Kurtz reminded the Commission members that that annual EDC meeting with the Chamber of Commerce would be held on January 16, 2002 at 8:00 at Bristol Court. ADJOURNMENT The meeting was adjourned at 9:00 a.m. The next meeting will be held on February 14, 2002. Respectfully submitted, Michael Blue, AICP Deputy Director of Conununity Development
