Committee Reports

Community and Board members that on June 9, 1999 the Lombard Chamber of |
Commerce will have a Luncheon at the Terrace. Commonwealth Edison will be there to |
discuss service issues. |

Chairperson |
Trustee Florey reported that they met May 25 and reviewed and approved 2 educational |
grants for District 44, Pleasant Lane and Westlake Middle School for their recycling |
programs. The Committee will be revamping their Educational grant process. At their |
June 22 meeting they will be discussing this process. They will also discuss the Waste |
Disposal Contract. The Committee was not in favor of maintaining the two can system, |
