13. NEW BUSINESS
Trustee Deyne stated that he had a couple of phone calls about campaign signs that were still up in the village. Specifically on West Bartlett Road - do we have any time limits on campaign signs?
Village Attorney Bryan Mraz stated that generally speaking, the answer is no. The federal courts have thrown out most restrictions on campaign signs.
President Wallace stated that he can keep that sign-up as long as he wants. He stated that we can’t do anything about that and he wouldn’t want to do anything about that. Anyone should be able to put a sign up in their yard.
He stated that he had a question for the chief. Some of the organizations that he is involved in are talking a lot about the increase in car jackings. Have we experienced much of that in Bartlett?
Police Chief Patrick Ullrich stated that thankfully they have not had any car jackings. They have had vehicle thefts from people that leave their key fobs in the car overnight and leave the doors unlocked or start their car up in the morning and run back in the house. They participated in a Zoom meeting on Friday with Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot, superintendent and other police chiefs as well as local mayors. They exchanged information regarding this matter.
Trustee Deyne asked what the purpose of car jacking was.
Chief Ulrich stated that they use the vehicle and just dump it. Seems like it is young teenagers doing this because they are out of school.
14. QUESTION/ANSWER PRESIDENT & TRUSTEES - None
15. ADJOURN
President Wallace stated that the Board would be going directly into the Committee of the Whole meeting following adjournment.
There being no further business to discuss, Trustee Deyne moved to adjourn the regular Board meeting and that motion was seconded by Trustee Hopkins.
