PUBLIC COMMENTS/QUESTIONS
President McCombie introduced John Barry and Paul McNaughton of McNaughton Developers, who are interested in the Park District property in The Woods that is being auctioned soon. They introduced themselves and their background, and gave a thorough presentation on the sort of development and homes they envisioned for that property. They asked for, and answered, questions from the Board. They then asked the Board for their impression of whether the plans would fit into the community, as the Park District would retain a large deposit from the buyers even if the development was rejected by the Village. The Board explained the Plan Commission process for all new developments and noted some of the issues that might arise. Brief discussion continued. The developers thanked the Board for allowing time tonight for their presentation.
President McCombie asked the audience if anyone else wanted to address the Board. Resident Al Saller brought to the Board's attention that the curbs by Bridges Drive off of Bartlett Road have been damaged and lamppost bases cracked. He thought it was from snowplow damage. The Village will look into the curbs for the Spring road program, and find out who is responsible for the lamppost maintenance.
MAYOR'S REPORT
President McCombie updated the Board with highlights of her recent activities on behalf of the Village. She announced that the sales tax rebate for The Arboretum ended as of September 30th. She reported a positive response on the cameras posted in the Village, noting that six people have opted out of coverage for their cars. The Mayor is also looking into ways to help our veterans; Senator Tammy Duckworth suggested a statue memorial or having programs to help vets register for various VA programs. President McCombie serves as Chair for the long range planning for BACOG and announced that they are looking for a new director; the position will be part-time and deal with legislative issues, as BACOG will now hire a consultant for water issues. She has met with Rose School on needed maintenance (such as the weeds along Penny Road), with IDOT (via Zoom) on the Barrington Road widening, and with Arboretum businesses about marketing events (and will include notice of events in the Village newsletter). President McCombie and Trustee Abbate also met with other developers interested in the Park District property up for auction. Other meetings included HomeOwner Associations, Village adjudications, and Police matters. The Village will be participating in trick-or-treat; residents should turn on their porch lights if they want children to come to their door.
President McCombie introduced a Proclamation for Saturday, October 10, 2020 to serve as Arbor Day in the Village. It spoke of the importance of trees for the environment and for the vitality and beauty of the community, and urged citizens to plant trees. The traditional date of Arbor Day was postponed in the Village due to restrictions from the COVID-19 outbreak. President McCombie invited all to attend The Conservancy this Saturday for a ceremony and planting of a new tree there.
