Ald, Plocher related that Mayor Burd will be appointing two new members to the Commission at the
Tuesday City Council meeting. He had no further information on them.
He also related that Glory Spies will be sending out letters, photos and map directions when the brown
Historical Signs are put up. It was asked if she could send them to the person (if living), and to family
and also the nominator(if it is other than the family members).
Tom asked, since we would still be down one member after the new appointments, if consideration
might be given to getting a disabled person, or a student, as we had at one time, There is representation
now from the senior population and the younger parent generation, but these other perspectives might
also be helpful. Ald, Plocher mentioned the AID office might be of some help.

Determination of Direction of HRC - Cecelia mentioned the Volunteer Registry that was once started,
as well as a Resource Directory of services and programs available in Yorkville. Lt. Schwartzkopf
stated that they gets many calls for information, and also have people stopping in to ask where places

Parade and Activities are held and where people can park for the fireworks.

such booklets from Kane County and many of those agencies also serve Kendall County, so that is a
start.
