Trustee Taylor requested additional information from the LPOA who plan to host this

event since February, with two withdrawing their applications. Staff provided a

the prior resolution will need to be rescinded.

resolution. Action to approve the request to hold the triathlon; however, could be
taken today stated Village Attorney Burkland.

Other Business:
A copy of the Lake Zurich Charette schedule was distributed by President Tolomei.
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.
