the White Sox are possibly donating $7,500 - $10,000.
Dean Klassman is working on a presentation for Sox owner Jerry Reinsdorf.
There are still some issues with Lake County Stormwater Agency. The field
is budgeted for this fiscal year. That would allow it to be ready for opening
day in Spring of 2006.
Rick will send info to Brian Rubin about the Miracle Field so he can present it
to the Village Board.
As part of the playground — Need to see about different swings and making it
wheelchair accessible including the surface so it is accessible to wheelchairs.

Legislative: Sid Mathias is sponsoring HB 0978 in the State
Legislature which would allow the AHJ (specifically FD 7 PD to have review
and oversight authority on school building projects. (see att'd at end of

facilities.

incline on the ramp from the parking lot to the upper level s too steep.
VII. Items for Discussion -
a. In Lincolnshire the glow-in —the —dark mini golf is not W/C accessible.
b. Bank of America- handicapped spots are too far away, they are further away then
the non-handicapped. Possibly due to location of curb cuts.

i. Woman looking for an attorney to help set up an IEP. Rick gave her 6 names.
ii. New long Grove resident has a son (mid 20's) who plays Special Olympics golf
They called Lake County Special Rec District. They were told that Long Grove is not a
member of the Special Rec District and their fees would be very high. Suggested the
family call Illinois Special Olympics — on-line they have maps which show
geographically what programs are available

Discussed advisability to enact a Durable Power of Healthcare plus a Living
Will if there is no DNR in effect.
Removing nutrition or hydration — statute from 1984 — still says the same.
Illinois is vague on this aspect of healthcare. Need to specify measures and
nutrition.
