to date to prepare for this meeting.
Buffalo Grove and Stevenson High Schools are represented this evening. The students were teamed up with
department heads and elected officials. They were presented with proposal requests from five different departments.
Each student department head presented their request before the student board. The student board discussed each of
the requests,and ultimately voted to purchase a digital sign that will be placed at Village Hall in the lobby near the
front counter. Information provided by the new signage will decrease counter wait time,alleviate a portion of

information to make Buffalo Grove residents' visits to Village Hall more convenient.
