There was further discussion by the Commission in regards to the Character Counts program and
at the Middle School there is a national speaker, Dr. Gary Smit giving a presentation sponsored
by the Yorkville Middle School PTO. Further discussion on the Character Counts program was

school, and the community_
Millennium Project presentation by Mayor Prochaska to the commission for further discussion
about a project to leave some mark in time, The Mayor stated Yorkville doesn't ha';e a public
clock and maybe this could be an interesting project. The commission held further discussion on
the thought of a public clock such as; location, design type, historical character, costs, process,
time line, and who would oversee the process. The consensus of the commission was to explore
the idea further for a millennium project.
Mayor Prochaska had another idea about a volunteer night or recognition event for the
community to recognize volunteers. The commission will explore this idea.
