Excused: None

II. Persons Desiring to be Heard
Sandra Johnson (5479 West Glenbrook Road) expressed three concerns. First, she questioned the location of her mailbox on Glenbrook Road when her driveway is located on Carlotta Lane. She was instructed to contact the U.S. Post Service to seek approval to relocate her mailbox. Her second concern was in regard to her property line, which is not equal distance from the road surface. The Village Manager explained that it is typical for the road surface to meander within the right-of-way. Her last concern was with snow plowing techniques, which deposits snow from Carlotta into the right-of-way on Glenbrook. She was reminded that this is a customary practice to help clean the intersection and the purpose of the ditches and the right-of-way along the road surface was to allow for the accumulation of snow.
John Gibbs (8542 North 63rd Street) appeared to express his concern and disappointment that Police resources were used to investigate Officer Michael Shea, who was found by the Police Commission to not have violated departmental rules.
Trustee Schilz requested a moment of silence to honor and remember the passing of Earl McGovern, former Village President who passed away on February 13, 2001. A moment of silence was then observed in honor of Earl McGovern.
