A. Trustee Brunner:
TRUSTEES'REPORTS
Trustee Brunner had no formal report, but had a report on the swine flu from the Department
of Family and Senior Services, the Fire Department, and the Board of Environmental Health.
She said there have been numerous reports on radio and television about the outbreak of
swine flu in the U.S. She said that the best source for information is the Center for Disease
Control's website, which is www.cdc.aov. The Village's website will have a link to the CDC's
site as well. Trustee Brunner provided some basic health tips, including: cover your nose and
mouth with a tissue when coughing or sneezing, and then throw the tissue away; wash your
hands often, especially after you cough or sneeze; avoid touching your hands to your eyes,
nose, or mouth, and lastly, avoid contact with sick people. This is common-sense advice to
help avoid the spread of illness.
Trustee Brunner echoed Clerk Fritzshall's remarks. She thanked the residents for giving her
the opportunity to serve, saying she had found it "fascinating". She said the Village staff was
fabulous and very hard-working, commenting on their great fiscal management and their
ability to get things done with few resources. She noted that they all wear many hats, and
thanked them. Trustee Brunner said she had enjoyed working with this Board and the
previous Board, and remarked that although they didn't always see eye-to-eye, many times
they were able to come to a compromise. She said she found their points of view interesting;
that it made her "ask better questions and seek clearer answers" to allow her to make
decisions on matters before the Board.
Trustee Brunner thanked the Commissions she had worked with, saying that she had truly
enjoyed working with them, and that they were "residents of the Village who put their heart
and soul" into helping the Village move forward. She thanked Mayor Krier for taking a chance
on her to run with him. She said she was glad that he took that chance and pleased to have
served with him. Trustee Brunner thanked her husband and her son, noting that they had
sacrified a lot for her. She wished the new Board good luck, stating that they had a lot of hard
work ahead of them.
B. Trustee Kogstad:
Trustee Kogstad said that, having been involved as a Trustee for the past four years and as a
community activist prior to that, it was amazing to see some of the achievements that have
occurred. He said that he was most proud of the fact that he has kept his promises to the
residents of Morton Grove. Another highlight was helping maintain a wholesome Village
and protecting high school students from certain businesses. Also, providing sound financial
solutions to the Village's fiscal challenges enabled him to utilize his over 20 years of financial
experience. Trustee Kogstad said it was a privilege to give back to the Village. He thanked
his close associates for their wise counsel and support, and thanked those who had supported
him. He also thanked his new friends, many of those being people in the Action Party that he
opposed four years ago, noting That some are now among his closest friends. He concluded
his remarks by saying, "May Morton Grove and its residents continue to grow and prosper."

C. Trustee Marcus:
Trustee Marcus said that, although they didn't always agree, it's been a pleasure to work with
this Board over the last two years. He felt it was important to disagree from time to time.
He said that he considers each of the departing Board Members good friends, citing their
dedication to the Village and their hard work. Trustee Marcus told Trustee Brunner that she
was a joy and pleasure to work with. He thanked Trustee Kogstad for providing much insight
into the Village's finances, noting how important that had been to him when he was first
elected. He commented on how much he would miss Trustee Minx as a fellow Trustee-liaison
to the Fire and Police Commission, because she has a "true understanding" of being able to
say what she needed to say in very clear terms. He thanked Clerk Fritzshall for fulfilling her
very important administrative role with absolute professionalism. Trustee Marcus also
thanked Mayor Krier, noting that what he's done has been heartfelt and with a commitment to
serve this Village as best as he could. No one can ask more from anyone who comes to the
arena of public service. Trustee Marcus also thanked Christie Krier also, noting that she had
worked hard with Mayor Krier on developing and chairing many programs. He congratulated
Joe Brunner and Paul Minx for getting their spouses back, and noted, "E-lections come and
elections go, but friendships last forever."
D. Trustee Minx:
Trustee Minx thanked everyone who supported her both four years ago and in the most recent
election. She said she had given her personal promise to work as hard as she could to
represent the residents of Morton Grove. She said was proud of the fact that she had never
missed a Board meeting or a Commission meeting to which she was liaison. Trustee Minx
said that she was also proud of the relationships she's forged, and the legislative business
she's accomplished. She noted that the staff and the department heads are a phenomenal
team, working for the betterment of Morton Grove. She thanked everyone who worked hard
to put together the board members' weekly packets. She thanked her family and friends for
standing by her, and especially, her husband Paul, who went with her to every meeting she
attended. She said she would have liked to have seen some of the plans currently in place
come to fruition, stating that she has a lot at stake in Morton Grove, and still believes that it's
the best place in which to live, work, and raise a family.
E. Trustee Staackmann:
Trustee Staackmann said he really appreciated everyone present here tonight and the support
and dedication of this Village Board and the Village staff. He thanked the departing Board
members for their time and dedication to Morton Grove, stating that "you can never be

Xp. OTHER BUSINESS
Mayor Krier said he'd like to address the residents of Morton. Greve ene last time. He thanked
everyone for the proud memories that he'll never forget, including the Hurricane Katrina fund-
raiser, which a small team put together in just a few weeks and which raised $30,000 for relief
efforts in Slidell, Louisiana. Another proud memory was being able to represent Morton Grove
as one of the "Top 10 Places in which to Raise a Family." Mayor Krier said he was proud of
"Family Fest"and how it built community pride and appreciation for one another. He said he
was grateful for the memories and honor bestowed on him by the American Legion Post 134.
He said he was truly humbled to be associated with the great men and women who had given
so much to this country. Mayor Krier said that, standing at the tomb of the Unknown Soldier
and laying a wreath there would always be one of the greatest moments of his life. He said
that, because Morton Grove played such a vital role in making the Holocaust Museum and
Education Center a reality in the lifetime of some of the survivors, he was honored to repre-
sentthe Village at the Museum's opening. He said he would cherishthe memories of repre-
senting Morton Grove with Colin Powell, former President Bill Clinton, and other honorees.
a. Mayor Krier said he would be remiss if he didn't mention all the precious time he spent with
the children of Morton Grove, and calted the children of this community "its greatest blessing."
He said that all these memories are possible because of the residents of Morton Grove. "
The opportunities I have had to serve you and represent you are only possible because you
allowed this privilege," he told the assemblage.
b. Mayor Krier thanked the trustees, stating that he enjoyed the debate, the decisions, and the
camaraderie. He thanked the Village employees, administrator, and department heads,
stating that he's grown to appreciate all their dedication and hard work. He said it had been
a privilege to work with them, calling their love of the Village "evident".
c. Mayor Krier said that; as a resident and as the mayor, he knows that the place he calls
home is in good hands. He thanked the residents for the opportunity to serve as their mayor,
and said he worked hard to be worthy of the title. He said that hard decisions were often
necessary over the past four years, and whether people agreed or disagreed, he wanted
everyone to know that he always contemplated everything and that any decision he made was
what he thought, in his heart, was best for the Village and its people.

XII. OTHER BUSINESS (continued)
Mayor Krier said that, on a personal note, most people know he Tikes to read about history and
likes to quote famous people. Abraham Lincoln is one of his favorites; however, he couldn't
find a quote from Mr. Lincoln that would adequately convey what he wanted to say to his wife,
Christie. Instead, he quoted Jacqueline Kennedy, who, at age 31, became the First Lady.
She said that her role was "to take care of the President," adding that, "if you bungle raising
your children, nothing else you do matters very much." Mayor Krier thanked Christie for taking
care of his children, stating, "I love you, and I love Morton Grove."
2. Executive Secretary Sue Lattanzi introduced the Honorable Judge Sheldon Garber, who
would be performing the swearing-in ceremony for the new Board.
a. Judge Garber greeted everyone and said it was his great pleasure to be the installing officer
this evening. He said he was always amazed at the historically low voter turnout in local
elections. People have said, "Well, it's only a local election." Judge Garber said that,
presidential and congressional races, while important, "pale in comparison" to local elections
in terms of their impact on our daily lives. Local elections determine the kind of schools we
have, the quality of the water we drink, the efficiency of snow removal and garbage pick-up,
the programs and housing we have available for our senior citizens, how much taxes we'll
pay, the vibrancy of our library, what kind of parks and recreation we'll have, and what our
homes will be worth. The best insurance we have is the efficiency of our police and fire
departments, and our paramedics. These things that truly impact the quality of our lives have
been entrusted to our Board of Trustees and Village officials. Judge Garber said that, overall,
our past and present Boards have done a splendid job, resulting in Morton Grove being
named one of the top 10 places in the country in which to live, work, and raise a family. He
said he was confident that the Village's new President, Clerk, and Trustees, together with the
existing Board members, will continue that fine record of honest; efficient, good government,
administered with compassion and integrity for all the people of Morton Grove.
b. Judge Garber then swore in Tony Kalogerakos as Village Clerk, followed by Dan DiMaria,
Larry Gomberg, and Bill Grear as Village Trustees. He then thanked Mayor Krier for his years
of service and said that Morton Grove is a better community for that: He wished Mayor Krier
well in all his future endeavors. Judge Garber then swore in Dan Staackmann as Village
President, and congratulated him. He declared that, as a judge of Cook County, that all the
new Board members had been successfully installed, and wished them all well.
c. Mayor Staackmann then presented plaques on behalf of the Village to Clerk Fritzshall and
Trustees Brunner, Kogstad, and Minx, in recognition of their selfless and dedicated service
and commitment to the Village over the last four years. He cited Trustee Brunner's sincerity
and compassion, noted how much he would miss Trustee Kogstad, and commented on how
far he goes back with Trustee Minx' family: To departing Mayor Krier, he said he appreciates
how Mayor Krier has always tried to do the right thing, and thanked him for his offer to be of
service in the future. Mayor Staackmann presented a plaque to Mayor Krier, and additionally
presented him with a United States flag and a Morton Grove flag, both of which had been
flown over Village Hall during Mayor Krier's tenure.
Mayor Staackmann asked the new Board if they'd like to make any remarks.
3. Trustee DiMaria thanked everyone for being here tonight; he said it was an honor to be here
again. He thanked the voters and the former Board Members and Mayor Krier, stating that no
one could understate their dedication to the Village. Trustee DiMaria was wearing an elephant
pin, and he said that some people had asked him if that was a Republican pin.

OTHER BUSINESS (continued)
a. His response was that it was not. He said that a former Morton Grove resident, Matt
Berrafato, had written a book called "Elephant Hunting". Trustee DiMaria said the title
intrigued him, and he read the book. The premise of the book was "How do you eat an
elephant?" and the answer, by the time the book was finished, was, "You eat an elephant
one bite at a time, like you eat anything else." Trustee DiMaria said there are a number of
"elephants" now facing the Village, and "if we approach those elephants one bite at a time,
we're going to see a prosperous Morton Grove" in the next several years.
b. Trustee DiMaria also thanked all the volunteers who worked so hard to get him and the rest of
the Action Party slate elected. He said that, without volunteers, "whether you're Action Party
or Caucus Party, you're nothing." He said he was truly humbled by the number of people
who made phone calls and canvassed on his behalf, and all those who voted for him, and
promised to always do his best for the Village.
c. Trustee DiMaria lastly thanked his wife, Melodee, and his children, citing the Bette Midler
song, "Wind Beneath My Wings", and said that, for him, they are.
4. Trustee Gomberg thanked everyone in attendance for coming out and said it was humbling to
see such a crowd. He said the departing board members have received a number of well-
deserved accolades this evening, and commented that, "anyone in this position wha does it to
the best of their ability and takes the time to do so deserves our thanks."
a. Trustee Gomberg thanked his supportive and loving family, including his wife, Diane, and his
daughter, Maria, who were both here tonight. (His twin sons are away at college.) He also
thanked his "political family" for all of their efforts, stating that he was "proud and honored" to
be elected. He thanked the voters for making their voices be heard. Trustee Gomberg said
that Morton Grove is a great community, but there is a lot of work to be done, but "we have a
great team, a lot of ideas, and energy to achieve things." He said he was looking forward to
the challenge, and thanked everyone for the opportunity to serve the Village.
5. Trustee Grear thanked everyone present tonight. He said he was honored to work, grow, and
learn from the Village employees. He also thanked the voters, and said he promised to give
180% to those who supported him and those who did not. He thanked his Action Party family,
and said he would not be here without them. He said he had three idols in his life: his father,
Jack O'Brien, and Dan Scanlon. The latter two convinced him to join the Action Party when
he was younger,. and he's never looked back. Trustee Grear thanked his running mates,
saying they were unbelievable and he couldn't thank them enough.
a. Trustee Grear said that many people know that he's a pure "Morton Grover", a fact he's very
proud of: He thanked his 10 brothers and sisters, and said he couldn't have done it without
them. Being raised in a large family teaches you about hard work. He thanked his mother,
too. Trustee Grear thanked his three children, and his best friend, his wife, Janice.
6. Clerk Kalogerakos said he was extremely honored to accept this new responsibility. He said
he knew his mother was proud and that his late father would have been proud too. He prom-
ised to work hard for the Village residents, with every ounce of his enthusiasm and knowledge.
He said he was grateful for everyone's support and open to everyone's ideas. He said he was
eager to meet the challenges ahead, adding that it will be a privilege to sit on this Board.

XII. OTHER BUSINESS (continued)
Mayor Staackmann acknowledged the presence of so many people, including his grandson;
his mother, who's always been there for him; and his former high school guidance counselor,
Mary Pat Carr, as well as former high school classmate and friend, Glenn Murphy. He noted
that the Guidance Counselor wing at Niles West is named after Mrs. Carr, and
applauded her years of dedicated service to the children of Niles Township District 219.
a. Mayor Staackmann said, on behalf of the entire Board, he wanted to thank the citizens of
Morton Grove for giving everyone the opportunity to serve. He was deeply humbled by that.
He also took the opportunity to express his gratitude and appreciation to the departing Board
members for their years of dedicated service, noting that Mayor Krier had never missed a
meeting or an event in six years of service.
b. Mayor Staackmann pledged that he and the rest of the Board would work diligently every day
to earn and keep the confidence and the trust the residents have bestowed on them. He said
that, as a lifelong resident, he knows that Morton Grove is a wonderful place in which to live,
work, and raise a family. It is the Board's job is to maintain the excellent services already
in place, and to embrace the many opportunities that lie ahead in hopefully an improving
economy. He said he was proud of the Board, the Village staff, and the many dedicated
volunteers who serve the Village and make it great. Mayor Staackmann said, "United, we are
a team, and we will work as a team to strive for the goals which will shape our community for
our children." He said his first priority would be to evaluate what the Village does well, and
what it can do better. If changes are needed, they will be made-but they will not be made
for change's sake alone. He said the Board will begin with the basics: to provide emergency
services, provide protection for our families and homes; provide clean and abundant drinking
water; provide safe and clean streets; and maintain and improve the infrastructure of the
Village. Once those basics have been addressed, then and only then will the Board consider
providing additional or enhanced services.
c. Mayor Staackmann said that, in the months ahead, the residents need to know the Board's
responsibility is to them. He noted that this Board will make every effort to make sure every-
one's voice is heard and respected, and will call upon those who genuinely have a desire to
help advance the Village for their ideas and suggestions. He invited all in attendance to a
reception at Trackside Tap following tonight's meeting, and encouraged people to carpool as
parking there is limited.

Requirements:
This resolution will authorize the Village Board meetings to begin at 7:00 pm rather than 7:30 pm, will
authorize the Village Clerk to appoint up to four (4) Deputy Clerks and will update rules regarding the
nonofficial recordings of public meetings by tape, film, or other means.
Beginning meetings at 7:00 pm will be more convenient for the public and Village staff and will allow
for more effective discussion and resolution of Village business. The appointment of Deputy Clerks
will assist the Village Clerk in the performance of his official duties.
Village Code Section 1-5-7 sets the time and place of all regular Village Board meetings currently to
the second and fourth Monday of each month beginning at 7:30 pm. Recently, the newly elected
Village President and members of the Board of Trustees have requested the Village Board meetings
begin at 7:00 pm. T'ne Village Clerk has requested that the Municipal Code be changed to allow for the
appointment of up to four (4) Deputy Clerks. Also, Section 1-5-5 establishes rules of procedures for
Village Boazd meetings. Rule 9 establishes rules regarding nonofficial recording of public meetings by
±ape, film, or other means. Under the State of Illinois' Open Meetings Act, all non-closed sessions of
public meetings may be recorded. The Corporate Authorities are required to pass reasonable
regulations defining these recordings. Recently, a resident had voiced concern about the Village's
requirement that "Any person seeking to record a meeting notify the Village Administrator of his or her
intent to record said meeting in advance." While this rule has never been used to prohibit any person
to record a Village meeting and is intended to advise Village staff, officials, and the public the meeting
is being recorded, the Corporate Authorities believe a clarification of this rule may be beneficial.
Section 3 of this ordinance revises Rule 9, Section C, Paragraph 3 to provide that, "Any person seeking
to recor^d a public meeting must notify the presiding officer or Chair person of that meeting of his or her^
intent to record the meeting. Whenever practical, any request for special accomnaodationsshoind he
made at least two business days before the meeting." This ordinance will amend the Code to effectuate
these changes.
All departments and commissions will be informed of the updated changes to the Munieij~al Code.

To attract and retain commercial retail establishments within the Village, a study
restricting or prohibiting multi-family housing units within the C-1 commercial
district is being proposed.
To place a six month hold on any future multi-family housing projects in the C-1
District while the Village Board and staff review the issue of restricting multi-
family housing projects in the C-1 Distrct and draft appropriate amendments to
the Unified Development Code.
Few large commercial sites remain in the C-1 District that basically includes
commercial propertees on Dempster St, Waukegan Rd, Golf Rd, and Oakton St.
With multi-family development allowed in the CR district, it may be desirable to
now eliminate new muiti-family housing from the C-1 district; or at least limit
multi-family units to upper floors of mixed use buildings. Time is needed to
evaluate the options and obtain market information as to the viability of retail
properties in the C-1 district.
