Trustee Branding requested more evening and weekend hours be added to the schedule and suggested this be delayed for several weeks to allow adequate time to get the word out to all interested parties. Both Trustees Johnson and Poynton concurred. Trustee Taylor reminded everyone the planners only have four months to complete this process as agreed upon in the signed contract. President Tolomei stated postponing the Charette with Torti Gallas could mean waiting until the fall and an opening in his schedule. Trustee Callahan also suggested a Stakeholder session be held on Saturday. In the past several weeks, residents have made comments they were not aware of opportunities for community input in developing the previous plans. President Tolomei read a prepared list of meetings held during 2002 through 2005 for the purpose of collecting resident input. Trustee Branding complained about the Charette being scheduled too soon to get the word out, no time scheduled for residents to provide input, and that the stakeholder sessions were for invited guests only. Trustee Taylor reminded Trustee Branding this was how the Charette was presented to the Village and what they were hired to do. Any delay in holding the Charette will hurt the Village. President Tolomei reminded everyone the Village is in a serious financial situation due to these delays. The Village has a contract with highly talented people that have been hired to plan the downtown. Village Administrator Vitas gave his explanation of what a Charette process entails and strongly encouraged residents and stakeholders to participate. It was suggested prior information, collected from resident meetings held in 2002-2005, be submitted to Torti Gallas for review. Many Board members offered suggestions to amend the schedule and allow for more resident input. President Tolomei challenged the Board members to write a description of their vision for downtown. Board of Trustees Regular Village Board meeting minutes, June 2, 2008 Page 6 President Tolomei will contact Torti Gallas to see what changes, if any, could be made to the proposed schedule. Comments: Trustee Callahan congratulated the recent graduates of Lake Zurich; especially, Administrator Vitas’ daughter and Trustee Callahan’s son. 11.
