CIVICS FORUM

Buffalo Grove and Stevenson High Schools are represented this evening. The students were teamed up with department heads and elected officials. They were presented with proposal requests from several different departments. Each student department head presented their request before the student board, which were as follows:
Police Department – bench, picnic table, landscaping at Police Headquarter entrance
Office of the Village Manager – video highlighting the benefits and opportunities for volunteerism
Public Works Department – Mosmatic “Hurricane Pro” Undercarriage Cleaner
Finance/Community Development Department – Multi-Purpose Kiosk in main lobby
Human Resources Department – Onboarding “Welcome Kit” for new hires
Fire Department – AES Purchase/First Aid Supplies for Fire Station 26 Training Room
The student board discussed each of the requests and ultimately voted to purchase an 8’ Personalized Bench, an ADA Compliant Picnic Table and Landscaping to be placed at the entrance to Police Headquarters in an effort to send a more cordial, welcoming and accommodating impression to those who find themselves needing to conduct business at the Police Department.
The students were then presented with Certificates from the Village and thanked by the Board and the audience for another outstanding program.
