Introduction of Guests, if any
Chairman Reports
-Chairman Kahen thank you to Chairwoman of the Allstate Foundation for their generous donation of$500 to the CRD.
-From the Caucus: The problems of accessibility at Mariano's was addressed. They will keep us apprised. Part of the
problem is they have been acquired by Kroger. Carol Sente will tour the Mariano's in Vernon Hills on March 19th.
-Legislation: 13 bills had to be passed before things would start getting done, 2 are already dead, did not make it out of
committee, so poor chances.
-Hope to be able to break out into sub-committees next meeting if turnout is good enough.
-Talked to Brian Sheehan, head of Building Dept.to attend one of our meetings, possible in the next few months. Hope to
go over the list and information we have on the parking lots. Buffalo Court, 301-307 W. Dundee; Country Court, 125 W.
Dundee; Dun-Ell Plaza and the strip mall at 60-90 W. Dundee reassigned so they can be ready for next meeting.
-April 25th is the Senior expo.
-The Wendy's on route 22 could be a model on how well a parking lot for a store could be designed.
-Discussion on a method on how to reward/award businesses in the community that either help the CRD in their mission or
are advanced in their accessibility standards. They could be given a sticker to place in their windows, and they could be
given publicity by the CRD having a small section in each newsletter to announce the awards.
-First BG Days meeting will be March 14th.
Trustees Reports
-Trustee Stein reported that he will be giving a facsimile of the Allstate Foundation Grant to Chairman Kahen at the next
Village Board meeting.
-Trustee Ottenheimer- nothing to report.
Subcommittee Reports
Commissioner Reports
-Commissioner Klassman will make arrangements with his players to move the Buddy Baseball game to Thursday 08/31 at
17:30hrs. Chairman Kahen has asked for assistance from Buffalo Grove Police for traffic and safety help as many cars will
need to park on Aptakisic and this will be during rush hour. Commissioners, Buddies and players should try to get there by
16:30 hrs. Discussion on cost of the DJ.
-Discussion again of a possible bowling outing at Bolero. Discussion on how to market it; who to market it to; i.e. only BG
residents or open it up wider, etc. Do we need to use NWSRA for publicity or to cast a wider net? Perhaps BG residents
would pay$5 per bowler and non-residents pay$25 for example. Tabled to be discussed further.
