Student Trustee Hwang asked that this amendment not be made due to the parking |
problems that Glenbard East Students already have. Student Trustee Calvario said |
that in this area as well as other areas, the students have brought parking problems on |
themselves by littering, loitering and bothering the neighborhood. Extensive discussion |
followed with the students pleading for parking to be allowed and the point being made |
that the matter of providing parking is not necessarily a Village issue but a School issue. |
Student Trustee Robbins recommended a motion which was seconded by Student |
Trustee Evans that this matter be tabled indefinitely until the Transportation Committee |
has a chance to meet with the Glenbard East Student Council. |
It was moved by Trustee Schaffer and seconded by Trustee Florey that the student |
recommended motion be approved. Upon roll call, the motion carried by the following |
vote: |
Aye: Trustees Borgatell, Schaffer, Sebby and Florey |
Nay: Trustees Tross and Kufrin |

Student Village Attorney Stacey O'Connell reported that she had met with a Student |
Council advisor brainstorming ways for the community to participate. She said that one |
idea that came up was a Homecoming Parade and another idea was for businesses to |
help sponsor Student Council Activities for Homecoming. Student Trustee Hwang said |
that the community promotion of Homecoming would heighten Lombard Pride. |
Student Trustee Robbins urged more participation by members of the community. |
Stacy O'Connell added that when things come up like the Parking issue, if the |
community was involved with students in Homecoming activities, they would figure out |
that not all students get into trouble and cause problems like the littering and other |
parking related incidents. |
Student President Snobeck thanked Mr. Carter and Mr. Zima for all their work in |
arranging Student Government Day and Dr. De Fazio who always works hard, also |
everyone at the Village for arranging the food, the tours and demonstrations. Snobeck |
further thanked all the Village officials that made Student Government Day possible. |
