4. PUBLIC COMMENT
Maureen Degen, One Newgate Court and Chairperson of the Park Advisory Board,
does not agree a cost savings would be seen by reorganizing the park maintenance
staff to Public Works and again requested this be reconsidered.
Attorney Mike Eck, 120 Golf Road in Schaumburg, spoke representing JADE, the
current owner of the property formerly known as 204 and 80 Genesse Street. The
property owner has been approached by a national franchisor to build a Kids R Kids
day care center at this location. There are concerns of a recent zoning change that
may hinder this purchase from going forward. President Tolomei advised them a
new Board was taking office in two weeks and should be tabled until that time.
Eric Dubiel, 947 Evanston Terrace, is seeking evidence the Village requested the
yellow light duration be increased where red light cameras were installed.
Robin McDaniel, 138 Miller Road, suggested ways to increase permit revenue by
working with residents to go “green” by installing wind turbine generators or solar
powered water heaters.
