MARCH 2011 MEETING UPDATES
| A meeting of the Sauganash Community Association was held at the North Shore Community Bank on March 15, 2011. President Sue Williamson called the meeting to order at 7:05 P.M. It was announced that Margaret O’Donnell will address the next Board meeting regarding her proposal for the old Sauganash Restaurant site. A motion was made and approved to accept the February 15, 2011 minutes. It was announced that there will be an update at the next meeting regarding the mosquito abatement program. A member of the finance committee reported that the association is currently solvent. The Chicago Climate Action Plan has given the association $1500 for its work. A second $1500 will be received after the work is completed. It was reported that total membership has reached approximately 720 member households out of approximately 1400. The Fourth of July Committee reported that their first meeting with the Park District went well. The committee met beforehand to clarify their requests in writing. They furnished this information to the Park District prior to the meeting for their consideration. A motion was made and approved to allocate $1250 to purchase bumpers for the Park. The Public Institutions committee member reported that the Chicago Public Building Commission has pictures of the ongoing construction of Sauganash School. The website is http://www.pbcchicago.com/content/projects/project_detail.asp?pID=05370 The Communication Committee is still seeking help to redesign the SCA website. The O’Hare Noise Committee reported that the City just announced a change to the O’Hare expansion timetable. The extension of an existing runway and the building of a new runway, both flying over Sauganash, has been delayed at least two years beyond the original 2014 completion date due to lack of funds and traffic volume. We hope this change, among others, will lead to the FAA scrapping its official plan to put virtually all night landings over Sauganash. The 5K Committee will be setting a date for this year's race as soon the schedules for conflicting community events can be ascertained. The Special Events Committee is working on preliminary plans for this year’s Holiday Party. The Nominating Committee will present the proposed slate for 2011-2012 at the next Board meeting.
