Thank you.
[applause]
[28:37]
» I feel obligated to uh make some type of
remark, but I am going to keep it short.
[28:41]
It's um it's ironic to me that I'm being
celebrated or recognized for 20 years.
[28:46]
The reality is that um it's because this
place, the leadership, the people, not
[28:52]
you always hear about the police
department, but it's it's all the
[28:55]
individual departments make this an
incredibly easy place to work. Um I'm
[29:00]
grateful. I'm grateful for my co-workers
and I'm grateful for the leadership and
[29:04]
the board. And uh I just want to say
thank you. Thank you for everything.
[29:09]

[29:13]
Thank you very [applause] much.

[30:37]

>> Okay, we'll just go right past it.
[30:41]
» It's the longest swing.
>> Do we have anything off the internet?
[30:44]
» We do. We do have one comment.
>> Okay.
[30:47]
» Would you like me to read it now?
>> Yes, please.
[30:50]
» So, [clears throat] this is from Heont
Sha of Carol Stream
[30:55]
and he writes, "Dear members of the
village board, I'm writing to
[30:59]
respectfully request your consideration
for a one-time adjustment to our
[31:03]
unusually high water bill for August. We
are residents of the village of Carol
[31:08]
Stream since the last 22 years. Our
normal monthly water bill for the last
[31:12]
few years is under $50, but our August
2026 bill was $641.30.
[31:20]
This represents an extraordinary
increase that was caused by a mechanical
[31:23]
failure of one of the toilet valves in
our basement as identified by the
[31:27]
village mechanical staff. The valve
continued to leak for a few days and the
[31:31]
water went directly into the drainage
system. Our home is occupied by only two
[31:36]
people, my wife and me. I am retired and
we do not have the kind of water usage
[31:40]
that would reasonably explain such an
extreme bill. Since the leaking toilet
[31:44]
is in the basement, we do not frequently
go down there to check whether water is
[31:48]
running. Unfortunately, we were unaware
of the problem until village called us
[31:52]
to check on us and we received the
unusually high bill.
[31:57]
I've already spoken with the water
department and the finance department of
[32:00]
the village of Carol Stream regarding
this matter. I understand from those
[32:03]
conversations that the village purchases
its water and therefore it must charge
[32:07]
residents for the water consumed. I
certainly understand and respect that
[32:11]
responsibility. However, I would like to
respectfully request that the village
[32:15]
board consider the exceptional
circumstances of our situation. The
[32:19]
water was unintentionally lost through a
mechanical failure, went directly into
[32:23]
the drainage system, and was not used
for any household purpose. In cases of
[32:27]
such extreme unintentional usage, I
believe it would be fair to consider a
[32:31]
policy of one-time relief for the senior
residents, perhaps through a nominal
[32:35]
penalty or administrative fee rather
than requiring the resident to bear the
[32:39]
full cost of the excess water. This
would recognize the vill's actual water
[32:43]
costs while also providing compassionate
consideration to residents who
[32:47]
experience an unforeseen mechanical
failure. We have since identified and
[32:51]
corrected the issue and we will be more
vigilant about checking the basement
[32:55]
plumbing in the future. In light of
these circumstances, I would be very
[32:58]
grateful if the village board could
review our $641.30
[33:02]
August water bill and consider a
one-time adjustment or other relief for
[33:06]
the excess water charges.
Thank you for your time, understanding,
[33:10]
and consideration. Please let me know if
you need any additional information.
[33:14]
Sincerely, He and Lena Sha.
>> Thank you. That's it. The only one.
[33:20]
» The only one.
>> Thank you.
[33:23]

Been great working with you.
Um, congratulations to Greg Walker,
[42:21]
congratulations to Brian Clever, Amanda
Larson,
[42:26]
and
honored to to know Carol Kadel. Um, went
[42:32]
to Citizens Police Academy and
definitely enjoyed um, you know, her
[42:38]
leadership and and what she's did for
for the community. Um, it was nine weeks
[42:43]
of hanging out with her for Citizens
Police Academy. And then we also did a
[42:47]
um before that there was another thing I
did. I forget what it was called but did
[42:52]
that as well.
>> Cert I'm sorry. Um and I did I just want
[42:57]
to um say how special Carol is not just
as an individual but also just to the
[43:02]
community and Carol's stream. She means
a lot and I wish her very well um in the
[43:07]
future with her endeavors. I also want
to give a shout out to the uh concert
[43:13]
that we had uh a couple weeks ago, the
summer sendoff. I thought the car show,
[43:17]
I thought the concerts went well, and I
think that we all should be as a
[43:22]
community and as a town trying to do as
much as we can in the town center to
[43:26]
bring the community and people together.
And that concludes my report. Mayor,
[43:30]
» thank you, Trusty Guthrie. Trustee anal.
>> Thank you, Mayor. Uh yes, of course.
[43:36]
Congrats to Carol Ko, Amir Del Larson,
Brian Cleaver, Greg Walker, Mark Talver,
[43:41]
our assistant manager. Uh, you know, it
just speaks to the community and the
[43:46]
family that we have here in Carol Stream
as you know, the police department and
[43:50]
the staff. You said that best, Mark.
That was awesome. So, uh,
[43:54]
congratulations to all. Welcome Allison
to the library. Um, we have Fall Fest
[43:59]
coming up. We'll see you Saturday,
September 19th. And of course, uh, we
[44:03]
haven't been here since, uh, school has
started, but, uh, school is back in
[44:06]
session. You can see it's getting darker
sooner, so please watch your speeds
[44:10]
driving through the neighborhoods. In
fact, my daughter's on her way walking
[44:13]
home from school now, so please be
careful. Don't run her over. And that's
[44:16]
concludes my report.
>> Trusty,
[44:20]
Trusty Burgger. [clears throat]
>> Thank you, Mr. Mayor. Um, I would like
[44:24]
to also congratulate Carol Kadel on her
uh, retirement. It kind of came as a
[44:30]
surprise to me because she seems way too
young, but I guess we we'll allow it.
[44:34]
And I did start texting her as soon as
we got the uh announcement to tell her I
[44:38]
was going to vote it down. Um but um I
also did Citizens Police Academy. Um not
[44:46]
as an elected official, but I became a
um um a candidate. God, I couldn't think
[44:52]
of the word. I became a candidate during
it. But um I attended that and that was
[44:57]
her very first class and I remember
being really surprised on the last day
[45:01]
when she said that it was her first time
teaching it because she seemed like a
[45:05]
pro and had been doing it for a long
time and I think that's the case with
[45:08]
everything she's done for the village. I
would also like to congratulate
[45:12]
everybody on their anniversaries. Amanda
Larson, Greg Walker, Brian Clever, and
[45:17]
Mark Tela. I had to read your
resolution. Uh so we got two bald guys
[45:23]
in a picture. And I also want to see how
you're going to handle taking the
[45:26]
picture. Good job. That concludes my
report.
[45:31]
» Thank you, Trusty Burgger.
>> Zillic.
[45:34]
» Thank you, Mr. Mayor. Um, I would like
to uh congratulate Carol Kadel on
[45:40]
meeting me on the good side of the
fence. Um, and happy retirement. It is
[45:46]
pretty cool. Okay. Um, but I worked
alongside Amanda Larson, Brian Cleaver,
[45:52]
Greg Walker, Carol Kadel, and um, I
mean, again, this police department, I
[45:57]
know it's award-winning, but it is
top-notch. If not in Dupage County, and
[46:02]
the state of Illinois, I mean, everybody
that I worked alongside do does the job
[46:08]
for the right reasons and has integrity
and honor. And like I said, I mean,
[46:13]
congratulations, Carol, and the other
three Amanda, Brian, and Greg, it's uh
[46:20]
it's good. You know, like I said, the
longevity says a lot, you know. Um Mark,
[46:26]
congratulations.
Um I worked alongside you kind of when I
[46:32]
yelled at you about the computers and
the squads, but
[46:35]
» but you did a great job and you do a
great job. So, congratulations. Um on a
[46:40]
serious note, um September is suicide
prevention awareness month. Um, and
[46:46]
according to the CDC, it is the top nine
leader causes of death in the United
[46:52]
States for indu individuals ages 10 to
64 and second among ages 10 to 14 and 25
[47:00]
to 39. Um, being a police officer, I've
responded to suicides. I've seen what it
[47:08]
does to families, friends, and loved
ones. And just keep your eyes open. And
[47:14]
if someone needs help, get them help. Um
whether they like it or not, because
[47:20]
they're not in the right mindset. And
it's just it it's it's horrible. Um so
[47:26]
let's just be aware of each other and
take care of each other um and care
[47:30]
about each other and let's keep our
military since my son is now in boot
[47:36]
camp, our basic training of the Air
Force and um first responders in our
[47:41]
thoughts and prayers. And that concludes
my report. Thank you, Trusty Zelic.
[47:45]
Trusty Froloni.
>> Thank you, Mr. Mayor. Um, I also want to
[47:48]
congratulate everybody. I I've worked
alongside every person that was
[47:53]
recognized tonight. I think that it
speaks volumes for Carol and her
[47:58]
retirement that we packed the room with
a lot of our um police volunteers. Um
[48:04]
whether they were wearing a red shirt, a
green shirt, or an orange shirt, that's
[48:09]
just a fraction of the people that could
actually make it tonight. I know
[48:12]
everybody, all 120 volunteers, if they
could have been here tonight, would have
[48:17]
been here tonight. So, congratulations
to Carol. You will be very, very missed.
[48:21]
Um, congratulations to Amanda, Brian,
and Greg. I can't say anything better
[48:26]
than what Trusty Aik said. Um, they all
know how much I love and respect them.
[48:32]
Um, I promised Amanda that I would keep
a story until she retires why she's my
[48:38]
um she's my hero and a guardian angel to
our family. So, I will save that
[48:43]
apparently for in nine months. I will
not be voting to approve that um that
[48:48]
retirement chief, just so you're just so
you're aware. Um, congratulations, Mark.
[48:53]
I I've known you for almost 16 years now
and was thrilled when you got promoted
[48:59]
to assistant village manager. Um, you do
a great job. You did a great job as IT.
[49:05]
Um, I didn't know how much I was going
to miss you in it. And you know what?
[49:08]
The transition's been good. And you do
you do a great job. Bizarre things seem
[49:12]
to happen when Bill's out of town. So,
because I think he's got another trip
[49:17]
coming up that it stays, you know, even
ke while he's gone, but you've handled
[49:22]
everything that's been every curveball,
bizarre curveball that gets thrown at
[49:26]
you, you've handled very well. So,
congratulations.
[49:29]
Um, [clears throat] on a personal and
sad note, um,
[49:34]
10 days ago or so, 12 days ago or so,
um, the park district lost one of their
[49:39]
commissioners. Um, Tim Powers passed
away after a two and a half year battle
[49:44]
with pancreatic cancer in addition to 15
years um, post um, liver transplant. He
[49:54]
was on the the park board for 19 years.
I knew Tim, I worked with Tim when I was
[49:59]
at the park district, so I've known him
all 19 years that he was on the park
[50:03]
board and I just want to give his family
my absolute um condolences. I did go to
[50:09]
the wake over the weekend. Um he was
very passionate about the park district.
[50:14]
He was very passionate about Carol
Stream and he will be very greatly
[50:17]
missed. So to the P family, my deepest
my deepest um condolences. Um, and with
[50:26]
that, Mr. Mayor, I will end my report.
>> Thank you for bringing Tim Powers up.
[50:30]
That was
>> that is a great loss for the district
[50:34]
for
>> Carol Street.
[50:37]
Steve McCarthy,
>> Mark, Greg, and Brian, congratulations
[50:42]
on your 20 year anniversaries. Um,
appreciate everything all of you do. Um,
[50:48]
Mary, unlike you, I still go to Mark
with with IT problems and let him figure
[50:52]
it out. Um, Amanda, 30 years. No, nine
more months. You You got to wait longer.
[50:58]
Um,
we love our our staff and and we we like
[51:04]
reading these for how long everybody's
been on. So, it it hurts a little bit
[51:09]
when people leave. Um, Carol, more than
anything, thank you for what you've done
[51:15]
for the village, for the kids, um, for
for the different uh positions you held.
[51:20]
And every time we read these, especially
with the police department with how it's
[51:24]
set up,
I I love how everybody had they they go
[51:29]
through all the different spots to to
have whether it be youth or whether it
[51:34]
be detective that we have well-rounded
professional police officers. And I
[51:40]
think that has a lot to do with it. Um
but uh thank you, Carol. Thank you for
[51:47]
everything you've done. um you will be
missed. But again, because of how our
[51:52]
department works, I know they'll find
somebody to fill that spot and hopefully
[51:56]
take what you've built and uh and build
upon that even. So, congratulations and
[52:02]
retirement. We'll see what comes next.
Um our bags for life foundation summer
[52:07]
sendoff that was brought to you by
Village Tavern. Uh that's what uh Trusty
[52:11]
Guthrie was speaking of our concert a
few weeks ago.
[52:14]
um
Tavern supplied everything but three
[52:17]
raffle prizes. So, uh they did pretty
much everything uh for us. We raised a
[52:22]
little over $6,000 and considering this
was our first year trying this and uh we
[52:27]
didn't have a great turnout because the
advertising's got to get better. We got
[52:30]
to do a lot of things, but uh I still
think of it as a very positive and
[52:34]
successful event. So, we're excited
about that. Um Tim Powers. Yeah, I've
[52:39]
known him for just about since he's been
on and um it was amazing that he stuck
[52:44]
it out even when he was sick. He still
was part of that park board. Um because
[52:49]
of as trusty Fousone said his how much
he cared about the park district and the
[52:53]
village. So P's family, I'm very sorry
and and Tim rest in peace.
[53:00]
And last but not least, I would be
remiss not to wish my wife. This past
[53:04]
Sunday was our 35th, I'm sorry, 34th
wedding anniversary. So, uh, I'm lucky
[53:10]
enough to say she's been my wife. That
was the best birthday present I've ever
[53:14]
received. So, with that, that's the end
of my report.
[53:23]
» So, [clears throat]
Ellison,
[53:28]
you're here.
[53:32]
» Whoops. Oh, okay. Good thing Mary just
pointed to your name and I'm thinking
[53:37]
she's not here, but
>> but you are here.
[53:41]
» Our new library director.
>> I'm so sorry. This is not the uh
[53:45]
impression I wanted to give to all of
you. I was just sitting over there at
[53:48]
the library. I should have double
checked. Um yes. Hi. Sorry. I'm Allison.
[53:52]
I am the new director over at the
library. I'm so excited to be here. Um
[53:56]
I've been over there for about uh a
little bit under two months now. Um, and
[54:00]
I've just really been enjoying getting
to know the library and getting to um,
[54:05]
know the community. I actually grew up
next door in Bartlett. Um, but I so I
[54:10]
spent a little bit of time in Carol
Stream in my youth, but uh, so coming
[54:13]
back here is a little nostalgic, but
then also has just been really um,
[54:17]
amazing to learn so much more about
what's like right next door to me. Um,
[54:22]
and we have a very beautiful library
with a really wonderful and dedicated
[54:25]
staff. I just left at, you know, about
6:45 over there. Our parking lot is
[54:30]
probably threequarters of the way full.
Um, and so you just have a gem of a
[54:34]
building here. Um, my background, I was
at the Downer's Grove Public Library for
[54:38]
about 11 years. Um, and I've been in
libraries for 23 years. Uh, total I've
[54:43]
done a variety of different things,
mostly youth services, but I also did
[54:46]
some work uh for technology services as
well as um, spending time as their
[54:51]
interim director and assistant director.
But um, if you have any questions for
[54:55]
me, I'd be happy to uh, answer them. And
once again, I am so sorry.
[55:00]
» Welcome, welcome, [clears throat]
>> welcome. You do have a great library and
[55:04]
great staff, great programs, and I think
you understand that. So, welcome.
[55:10]
» Looking forward to working with you.
>> Absolutely.
[55:12]
» All joking aside, where do we send the
overdue fine? [laughter]
[55:18]
» They take debit cards.
>> Congratulations.
[55:20]
» Thank you.
>> Thank you all so much.
[55:22]
» Thank you. Welcome aboard.
>> Thank you, Mary.
[55:28]
Madame Clerk.
>> Thank you, Mr. Mayor. So, I just want to
[55:30]
say welcome, Allison. Our library is
lucky to have you. We We and Carol
[55:33]
Stream are lucky to have you. And happy
anniversary, Trusty McCarthy. How many
[55:37]
years did you say?
>> 34.
[55:39]
» 34. Amazing. Uh, I also want to
congratulate Officer Kadel and thank her
[55:44]
for her service. She will be extremely
missed. Congrats Amanda on 30 years, and
[55:49]
I hope she doesn't retire in nine
months. Um, congratulation Deputy Chief
[55:53]
Clever on his 20-y year anniversary.
Sergeant Walker on 20 years and Mark on
[55:57]
your 20 years. It's been a pleasure to
sit next to you in these village board
[56:01]
meetings. I hope you stick around for a
long time to come.
[56:05]
And I also want to congratulate my
daughter and her new husband. They got
[56:10]
married Sunday in Lake Geneva and it's a
beautiful wedding for a beautiful
[56:14]
couple. I'm just so happy for them.
>> Congratulations.
[56:16]
» Thank you. And happy birthday to my
daughter Erica. She's 27 today. And so
[56:22]
other than that, just shop and dine
Carol stream.
[56:25]
» Thank you very much and congratulations.
>> Thank you. Thank you,
[56:29]
» Mr. Rhodess, our village attorney. Thank
you, Mr. Mayor. Um, I will extend my
[56:34]
best wishes [clears throat] for a very
long and happy retirement to Carol
[56:38]
Kadel. And congratulations to Amanda,
Brian, Greg, and Mark. And finally, I'm
[56:45]
very thankful that the entire police
department was here tonight while I was
[56:49]
attempting to get here on time.
>> [laughter]
[56:54]
» And that ends my report.
>> You didn't get a ticket, did you? Come
[56:58]
in.
>> I I
[56:59]
» You couldn't get a ticket.
>> I may I may have slightly exceeded the
[57:03]
speed limit once or twice.
>> Sounds like an admission.
[57:07]
» It's an admission. Can't we write that
out?
[57:10]
» Mr. [clears throat] Homer, our village
manager.
[57:12]
» Thank you, Mr. Mayor. I appreciate it.
Tonight we recognized several staff
[57:15]
members um for their longevity in the
village and I just want to say thank you
[57:19]
to those folks for their contributions
over the years. Um they do a great job
[57:23]
and and just thank you. Um wrapping up
the event season, we've got Fall Fest
[57:28]
coming up as Trusty Enselmo mentioned at
Town Center on September 19th. Uh starts
[57:33]
with a car show from 9 to 2 and there
will be kids activities, live music and
[57:37]
food all afternoon.
Um, we are making progress with
[57:42]
integration uh on the back end water
meter reading technology.
[57:47]
Um, so I'm bringing it up because I want
you to look forward uh to messaging in
[57:52]
the coming weeks about timelines for
water meter replacements. So you'll see
[57:55]
more about that coming out. And lastly,
the Canadian National Railway is
[58:00]
replacing the railroad crossing on Kho
Boulevard the week of September 21st. So
[58:04]
look for detour signs as Kho will be
closed through traffic. And that
[58:08]
concludes my report. Mr. Mayor,
>> thank you, Mr. OM. Well, Carol Kadel
[58:13]
retirement, it's a killer for us. I feel
really bad that she's leaving. Everybody
[58:18]
loves Carol. Carol is crime free. Carol,
the all of the uh we call them red
[58:25]
shirts. Our volunteers all love working
with her. A lot of what we do in this
[58:29]
village couldn't happen without all
those volunteers. And if they weren't
[58:33]
treated well, they probably wouldn't be
here volunteering. and she's done a
[58:37]
great job as most of the police before
her have done with them. Uh Amanda
[58:42]
Larson, 30 years, amazing
that she still I'm just glad she's still
[58:48]
sticking around. And then Brian Clever,
uh Greg Walker and Mark Tel,
[58:53]
congratulations on the 20 years. That's
a that's quite a milestone. 20 years.
[58:58]
Uh,
this was the craziest weekend I think
[59:02]
I've ever had in my entire life.
If anybody would have told me that I
[59:07]
would be in the middle of North Avenue
doing the twist with Chubby Checker, I'd
[59:13]
tell them they were crazy. But I had the
privilege to be there about 15 feet from
[59:18]
Chubby Checker while he was actually on
they blocked North Avenue off. Arcata
[59:24]
had their 100th anniversary in St.
Charles. It was absolutely amazing what
[59:30]
was going on. They did the whole Ferris
Buer whatever the car, the whole parade.
[59:35]
They played the music and then broke I
think they broke the Guinness record for
[59:40]
the most people doing the twist in the
street. I guess I guess they got a list
[59:44]
for everything. But it was probably one
of the most interesting things I think
[59:49]
I've ever I've done some interesting
things. But any just standing in the
[59:53]
middle of North Avenue in St. Charles
crossing the street is like taking your
[59:57]
life in. And now we're in the middle
with all traffic stop, police, fire, and
[1:00:02]
everybody. It was absolutely amazing.
So, thanks to Arcata 100y year
[1:00:06]
anniversary and those of you that that
go to Arcata know they have some great
[1:00:11]
performing people that are there. Uh,
other than that, I shop Carol stream as
[1:00:16]
usual. We need it. Uh, we could always
use that. Uh
[1:00:23]
that that ends my report. Motion to
adjurnn.
