Mr. Janecek showed the Board his Highway Life 2019 Presentation and explained the history of how it began. The concept and idea began in 2017.

Attorney: Tappendorf informed the board that any use of village residents money, spent for public purposes needs to have a tie to the community.

There was much discussion back and forth on whether or not to repeal

Ordinance #15-20.

Seth Sommer, B&F, stated that based on the feedback from the residents, it has been causing issues with in regards to maintaining the same style of windows throughout the house when installing replacement windows, and the cost is more. Mr. Sommer stated that the Ordinance it is not necessary as he referred to the International Property Maintenance Code, Section 702 Means of Egress requirement. Mr. Sommer also stated that Campton Hills is the only municipality that has this Ordinance.

Trustee Girka, along with other members, expressed concern with regards to safety and having contractors come in and install windows without looking into what the Ordinance states therefore becoming in violation. How are we protecting the residents?

It is important that we recognize talent and commitment and retain those with that dedication. Where there are vacancies, we should be careful not to be in a rush to fill seats but rather select talent that will complement and strengthen those teams that add value to the Village.

• Continue to build on a solid foundation using the tools and resources that we have at our disposal. We Jive in a great community with tremendous assets and outstanding volunteers.

• Roll up our sleeves and build a community unlike any other that a generation or two from now we and those that follow us can reflect back and say we were all good stewards.

• Financially, we are in a good place.
