being handled by Oehler Funeral Home in Arlington
Heights, Illinois.
Mr. Pat Mauro, Mauro Sewer Construction, 1251 Redeker
Road, addressed the City Council asking that a question
regarding TIF #4 be placed on the ballot in November; do
not take any final action until the taxpayers have had
an opportunity to vote on this matter because the TIF
will have an impact on the taxes they have to pay; we are
starting to collect petitions.
Mr. Scott Olson, 285 Harding Avenue, addressed the City
Council stating that he attended the National Night Out
at Lake Opeka; we were passing petitions to place a
referendum on the ballot in November regarding the
proposed TIF #4; we were told to leave the park by
Alderman Becker; we were not removed and we were able to
proceed collecting signatures; that would not have been
necessary if the City Council had placed a referendum on
the ballot.
Alderman Becker disputed Mr. Olson's comments; what Mr.
Olson was telling people was incorrect; the City is not
going to condemn people's property; this will be a
developer-driven TIF.
Alderman Brookman stated that free speech is a
fundamental right under the Constitution; to stop free
speech is wrong; this would have been a violation of
their civil rights if they had been forced to leave Lake
Opeka. p;t.
