(DISTRICT #3)

Acting Village Manager Sperlik turned the matter over to Acting Director of Community

Development, Mansi Shah who reported that changes have been made according to

the Board's previous requests and offered to answer any questions that the Board

members may have. Acting Trustee for District 3, Matt Spartz stated that he believed

that the changes are satisfactory. Acting Trustee Robson of District 6 also agreed with

the changes.

Acting Village Manager Sperlik turned the matter over to Acting Director of Community

Development, Mansi Shah, who reported on this matter and gave a power point

presentation. She stated that the streets in the St. Regis development are not

constructed to Village standards and it is proposed that the Village rebuild the streets at

the expense of SRDA. Once they are built to our specifications, the Village will accept

the streets. She also reported that the stormwater detention is substandard and will also

be supplemented with fees to the development which will be collected for a future off site

detention project.

Acting Village Manager Sperlik turned the matter over to Acting Assistant Village Manger

Saemi Yi who gave a report regarding the municipal services and monetary donations

by the Village to the Jaycees for the Taste of Lombard. She added that the Village will

also provide some funding for publicity which will promote visitors for overnight lodging

in Lombard Hotels and Motels as well as funds for public safety services. She said that

in the agreement, the Jaycees state that they are wholly responsible and agree to abide

by all local and State laws and to provide insurance.

Acting Village Manager Sperlik turned the matter over to Acting Director of Public

Works, Ed O'Neil who reported on the possible impact of the Gypsy Moth on Lombard's

Oak Trees, Crab apples, Poplars many other variaties. He assured the Board that there

had been no appearance yet in Lombard. He provided information on the life of the

moths and the cycles of activities which effect our trees. He added that Evergreens are

also at risk. Mr. O'Neil said that the Village is already working with State and County

agencies and the Village will use chemical and mechanical means to abate the Gypsy

Moth. In conclusion, he asked the public to report any sightings to Public Works and to

use caterpillar bumpers made of burlap which entrap the moths and once trapped they

can be pushed into soapy water which kills the moths.

Acting President Joshi thanked Glenbard East Principal Maria Ward, advisors Mr. Carter

and Mr. Zima and thanked the Village Board and staff for having the students at the

Village today and allowing them to conduct the Board meeting. Acting Clerk Pawelski

mentioned that many students had discussed including the Village of Lombard in

Homecoming activities. President Mueller asked that they forward suggestions for the

Village's Participation. He thanked the students and said that the Village is very proud

of Glenbard East. He thanked Dimple Joshi for her four years of participation in Student

Government Day. He congratulated Ms. Joshi, Kate Pawelski and Brittany Robson on

their upcoming graduation.
