Sheriff: Lieutenant Ellias stated Sergeant Baloun couldn’t be here tonight. He is going back to patrol shift. Deputy Kevin Williams will be our new Sheriff’s representative. He has a Sheriff’s dog that is friendly but you wouldn’t want to pet it. The Sheriff hosted a township Highway Commissioners’ meeting regarding the speeding problem. A speed trailer will be coming soon to educate the public regarding their speed. K. Judy stated there is drag racing going on. Will having a sub station here fix that?

County Board Representative Barb Wojnicki stated the County lowered speed limits on eight roads, mostly to 45 mph.

Solid Waste District: J. Boveri stated he talked to the yard supervisor who handles complaints for our area. We should have grand fathered residents large cans in so Waste Management didn’t rent large cans until January 2002. D. Gillen stated Waste Management makes two trips to her neighborhood on pick up day. Answer is John doesn’t know why. P. Snyder with the Road District stated there are a lot of complaints about trash being left. She would encourage the Board to ask them to be courteous and respond to complaints.

Highway Commissioner: Commissioner Gallucci stated that today LaFox Road becomes Campton Township’s responsibility from Samuel Clemens Dr. to Burlington Rd. An additional brush pick up was completed on October 26^th. A street light is being installed at the corner of Campton Hills Rd. and Campton Woods Dr. because this is a school bus stop where kids are picked up morning and evening. The trees along Beith Rd. were trimmed back. The ten miles of road repaving scheduled for this year was completed. An outside vendor was hired to replace the streetlight at Route 64 and Arbor Creek Rd. because the pole is 45 feet high and we do not have the equipment to complete this. Two catch basins were installed at the Highway Garage to correct the drainage problem. The new snow plows are installed on the trucks and they are running practice routes to get ready. Three new road crew members are going to a snow plowing class offered by IDOT. The new plows can get right up to the mailboxes for the convenience of residents. If mailboxes get damaged just call the Highway Department and we will replace it. A new chloride dispensary tank was installed at the garage for better dispersal of salt and chloride this winter. The Highway Office is preparing Township maps to submit to the County in order to receive motor fuel tax money for the Township roadways. The road crew installed two catch basins to correct the drainage problem on Kingswood Dr., and removed seven trees felled in the wind storm of October 25^th. The Road Commissioner and Forman attended a jurisdictional transfer class given by IDOT. The Commissioner, working with IDOT, will be updating the signage on Campton Hills and Bolcum Rds.

Supervisor: Supervisor Anderson introduced Township Administrator Glas who introduced Mark Rake to speak about the Campton web site obtained with a small cities grant. He suggested we think about what we want on the site – our photos, e-mail addresses, committees, on line data bases for ordinances, history, agendas, minutes of meetings, links to Kane County, etc. He can come to our houses to set up our e-mail so that we can get e-mailed at home by the public from the Campton site. This is a resource for the Township. Supervisor Anderson stated he has submitted the OLT grant application to the State. He will meet them tomorrow afternoon, and thinks we have an excellent chance because there are only 25 applications for Open Space. The second phase of the park is completed. Then we will get $200,000 from the State (DNR) to reimburse us. The Supervisor has signed a letter of intent on the first Open Space parcel. He has hired the Conservation Foundation per the Board’s instruction. One general assistance person came in this month.
