QUESTIONS FROM THE AUDIENCE George Smith, 436 Cottonwood Circle, mentioned the article on gangs in the Bolingbrook Bugle. He told residents to get more involved when they see a problem and notify the Trustees and Police Department. He asked that Trustee Morales and DuPage Township Tax Assessor, John Randall, have an information meeting on how the taxes are computed and the taxing bodies that are included in the tax bills. He also encouraged residents to bring any issues they may have to the Village Board. QUESTIONS FROM THE PRESS None TRUSTEE COMMENTS Trustee Morales congratulated the Arbor Day Poster Contest winners. He wished residents a Happy 4th of July. He stated that he has not had a meeting with John Randall, Tax Assessor, and has not prepared any type of program. Trustee Morelli gave details on the North American Youth (NAYS) Sports Annual National Championship Youth Basketball Tournament being held throughout the Village from Wednesday, July 21st through Sunday, July 25th. Trustee Schanks gave information about the 26th Annual Village Picnic on Sunday, June 27th, from Noon to 7:00 p.m. behind Village Hall. She urged all residents to attend. Trustee Brown responded to George Smith's concern regarding gangs in the Village. He noted that he has conducted a number of forums on this subject in the Village with residents and the Police Department. He asked: Do we have a gang problem? The answer was "No". There are some gang members in Bolingbrook that cause trouble and the Police Department works diligently on this every day. But most of the kids that look like gang members aren't actually a gang member. They are just making bad decisions and identifying themselves by imitating gang members. Trustee Lawler gave details on the 4th of July "All American Celebration" at the Bolingbrook Golf Club on Sunday, July 4th. Events will take place all day starting with early morning golf games, the "Taste of Bolingbrook" from 1:00-8:30 p.m., and a fireworks display at dusk. EXECUTIVE SESSION None 7
