Trustee Stanton inquired when the lights would be turned on off Illinois Blvd. Mr.
Wenderski indicated there are a few technical items ComEd is wrapping up. It may take
two to three weeks.
Trustee Stanton also noted the light posts are very close together. Mr. Wenderski indicated
the posts are spaced a little tighter due to the use of LED bulbs which put out a more
concentrated beam of light. The lights are not expected to affect homeowners but there are
deflectors to keep the light in the right-of-way if this were to occur.
Trustee Pilafas assumed the same for Thacker Street. All of lights are controlled by a single
controller. Will not affect billing but they are metered so Schaumburg
